That was a stupid comment. >> have said something in a video and you that you watch and you're like, oh that sounded okay. Like even that? You're not even a little bit like, oh good I didn't sound like an idiot for 1 second. No, there's something you always find something, dude. You can always

4:13 nitpick. Man, you're critical on yourself. That's a lot of things. Yeah, but that's why I'm not even annoyed at the things you should be. Like what? I'll tell you later. Reflecting? This is not a good road to go down. >> [laughter] >> What about um do would you >> Bart? Are you harder on yourself >> What about Bart? >> Are you harder on yourself like when talking than you are if you were critiquing your own fight footage? No, it's the same. It's the same? You're looking at it like, what the ████ >> Why? In my head that was way cooler and I look at it you're like, that was terrible. So you think that those are completely bad, too? Like you're beginning to end any footage of you like Yeah. There's something there's something It's not that it's bad. It's just like, okay there's like things that you could like about it but they're you're not focused on that. It's like it goes you don't think about it. You're think What about watching your form working out? Because there's like a right and a wrong and you teach. Could be better. Yeah. Oh, that

5:03 too? Yeah, 100%. >> Even though you teach it? >> I can't help but to turn that off. Like You know what's crazy? I completely agree with what he says. If I went with my first instinct on everything I would have zero YouTube channels and not post anything. Mhm. Everything I record I feel like I I'm like, I should just delete this right now. Yeah. Is that how you feel? 100%. Yeah, that's how I feel. But that's good ass stuff. That's like the muscle you're trying to build. >> what the ████ Why would Why would anybody want to like see this, right? But then I know I'm also worried about stuff that no one gives a ████ about. So I'm like, ████ it. I'll get better over time. I'll just upload. But it's like ████ 20 years in. I still suck ass. I just want to delete everything. Were your parents really critical growing up or your family? >> Yeah, for sure. Well, I think I think all Asian people kind of think like this, no? No, yeah. Right? I cuz I'm exactly the same and it's cuz I grew up in a very critical household. So, I'm super critical of myself, too. I I see this. Whatever, Ronald. You don't know.

5:53 >> Yeah, I see it. >> [laughter] >> Mhm. Mhm. >> No, but it's like it's a part of your brain that it's like it's hard to turn off for me, at least. Like there's always something that you could do better. You know? Yeah. I don't know if that's a good thing to think. And I That's good. You guys get good at stuff. Could be better. >> perspective. [laughter] >> Could be better. You know? I I'm the It's the endless pursuit, I think, right? >> Or wait, let's say that you let's say you're working with a jiu jitsu student, right? You're showing them footage of the last time you won. And if you're going over your own footage of you doing all the right things, are you still like yeah, I should have won this ████ I ████ up here. >> No, it's not that you should have won. It's just like >> Are you able to at least objectively see like where you did things right? >> Yeah, yeah, for sure. I think it's more so like let's say he won. Yeah. It'd be like I brought my five out of 10. That guy brought his four out of 10.

6:44 Right? Probably like that. It's not so much he did an A. Yeah. It's more like that. Like I remember my mom would be like um like go Can you go clean the bathroom or wipe this table off, right? And I'd be like how much, though? Cuz I can do a 30-minute clean a bathroom job. >> Oh. >> 8-hour one where I have a toothpick and a needle and like every single like You know what I mean? So, I think the amount of how much I can scrutinize something is so crazy that almost everything I ever do feels like I'm just doing a one out of 10 and >> your mom you'd be like how much, though? Yeah. That's why he got his ass beat. >> Cuz she'll be like do a better job. I'm like You want me to go where we skip temple time? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Cuz I can do it until we skip temple time. >> [laughter] >> Right before temple time. Cleaning the bathroom is my temple. Cuz I could do it for 8 hours. It could be a small ass thing. Like I could ████ clean this

7:34 cup for 8 hours if you really want me to clean the ████ out of it. And then it's just that's how much scrutiny I look at all the stuff. Like like videos and stuff. I resisted my ████ father's words when he says, "YOU MUST DO A PERFECTOR." AS YOU'RE COVERING YOUR EYES? YEAH, cuz I'm scared. We're playing >> If I don't see you, it don't happen. >> [laughter] >> You must HAVE PLAYED A PERFECT. AND I'M ALL LIKE, "THERE'S no such thing. I learned IT IN SCHOOL." THERE'S NO PERFECT. >> THERE'S NO SUCH THING. >> [laughter] >> NO ONE can be perfect. We're different. WE'RE ALL DIFFERENT. I GOT MY ASS BEAT FOR SAYING Imagining you in the LITTLE BOWL CUT. >> NO, THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A PERFECT. >> [laughter] >> MASATO. YEAH, LITERALLY. OH. You must have played a perfector.

8:24 Perfection. And I'm like, "No, that doesn't work. THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE, DAD. WHAT THE F███?" >> [laughter] >> "NO." AND THEN HE ████ MY ASS UP, DUDE. He goes, "YOU MUST HAVE STRIVED FOR PERFECTION." PERFECTION. >> [laughter] >> BUT I THINK I'M the Sounds like you grew up in an environment like that. Sounds like [laughter] you had a critical father. I get what you guys do, but but later. >> [laughter] >> So I'm lucky in the way where in the moment, I just do it. It's the dopest thing in the world, and I'm watching it, and I'm like, "It's so ████ sick." And then I get amnesia, >> [laughter] >> and I look at it again, like maybe like a month later, and I'm like, "I didn't even try that hard. This is ████ stupid. Why did I release this s███?" [laughter] Like all of my vlogs. And then I'm like looking at all of our skits, and I'm

9:14 like, "I KNOW I DIDN'T ████ TRY HARD writing that ████ dude. Like I I know I ████ half-assed it." But I I ████ you not, for like 1 year straight, I'll be like, "Man, we made a masterpiece. We we ████ made that ████ Dude, let's show the world this s███." >> Probably during that time I'm like, "What the hell are you talking about?" >> [laughter] >> So you get it before, right? So for me, I'm just like >> [laughter] >> for that whole time, I'm like, "Dude, we're genius. Like, we're ████ groundbreaking right now." Yeah. Dude, this That's the perfect partnership for your content creation. >> WHY I KEPT PUSHING BART, "LET'S ████ FILM THIS. DO THIS S███." AND BART'S LIKE, "I don't know, man. We should probably work harder on this s███." And I'm like, "All right, maybe we'll take a class, but I don't think we need it." Like, he was the one that's always like, "We should take classes and s███." And I'm like, I don't think it's that good. I think we need to learn more ████ We do better than class, bro. Like,

10:04 And then he goes, "I think we should study." And I'm like, "All right, if you think so, BUT I'M ALREADY TALENTED." >> [laughter] >> THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT IT WAS. They're taking classes and Joe's like, "We need to be in the trenches out there." And then he would have a lot of s█████ content. I'm paralysis by analysis. Uh yeah. So, I need someone to like push me. Just upload it. ████ it, you know? >> Yeah, who cares? Yeah. I I lean on his discipline and scheduling and let's do it weekly, weekly, weekly, you know? Where I'm just willy-nilly like, "I FEEL IT, BART. THIS 3:00 IN THE MORNING, I know it's crazy, but we need to ████ do this." >> [laughter] >> And Bart's like, "F███. All right." And you think it's cool for 2 years, and then you go, "WHAT THE [laughter] F███?" YEAH, NO. I ████ YOU NOT. I I'll look at

10:55 all of my content, and I'm like, "I could have ████ worked a little bit harder. I could have just, you know, studied a little bit better, you know?" And it's just >> But but that's that's the beauty of it, too. It's just like, if you can look back and be critical, it means that you're you are better than what you did. >> Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. All true. Yeah, I guess so. >> Being overly critical, like, the second it happens, then that can be like difficult for you to progress in certain ways. But like, if if he's got that thing where like it takes him 2 years to recognize like, >> [laughter] >> "S███, that wasn't that good at all." Then, man, he's going to go mad far, dude. Cuz he's just going to constantly just be going. Other people are like, "Hey, this kind of sucks." And then everybody's got analysis paralysis. It's just like, "Hey, this kind of sucks. Hey, I mean, it's a little better, but like, hey, that's not It's not that It could be better." And you're just watching somebody else succeed the whole ████

11:45 time. >> You're not even in the game, yeah. Yeah, I guess there's Yeah, balance to both. Cuz like, let's say I think your guys' personality will stick with something while you call yourself sucky for 10 years, right? Where as me, I I like I probably mastered it in a year. I'm onto the next thing. You know, this is how my mind works. It's like, "I'm bored. We're master skit guys." At the end of your life, you're going to look back and you're going to hate everything you did. >> No, no, I'm You're right. You'll only be depressed at the end. >> No, no, I'm No, I'm looking at at the at the ████ now. Like, I ████ sucked. LIKE, I CAN'T BELIEVE, you know, like So, hot or cold? >> Yeah. >> [laughter] >> I don't know. It's Hey, but I mean, the best The worst thing that can happen to you is you get too good for yourself and you don't put anything out. Like, that's the worst thing. That is And then they leave all this masterful work that no one sees, cuz that happens, too.

12:35 >> Cuz I think it I think it's the the wackest thing when I hear people go like, I'm like, "Why don't you just put it out?" And they go, "I'm a perfectionist." And I'm like, "That ████ ain't going to be perfect ever." Like, you think YOU'RE THAT GOOD? >> [laughter] >> BUT LIKE, TO THINK THAT YOU EVEN HAVE a perfect in you. That's really presumptuous, you know what I mean? Like, nobody does. Yeah. What are you ████ Da Vinci, bro? Like, even they had a bunch of garbage that they ████ cranked out. ████ Da Vinci made a ████ helicopter, sure. >> [laughter] >> That was a s█████ helicopter. What an idiot. With bike pedals. Perfection. All right, PAL. BE PERFECT, PAL.
