7:36 like in Taiwan there's random vegetarian days that's why there's vegetarian restaurants like on every street corner cuz there'll be like random like oh this is the first time I'm hearing this what this is the 15th of whatever like lunar year ████ and it just like the whole country will just eat vegetarian food that day for some reason but I did give my mom ████ for this cuz I'm like there's a lot of Asian stuff that I didn't know about cuz like we were weren't Buddhist so like I just I'm like did you know that like like my friends or something like they would do some like celebrate something like did you know that like I don't know like you get red envelopes oh yeah oh okay but like there's a lot of those things like I didn't know about my mom was like oh yeah like a lot of Chinese people do that or oh so she knew the whole time well no it's just not something our family practices or does that's pretty
8:26 tight and like the major like Chinese holidays they're usually in Taiwan just like timing wise so I never know when it is oh until like all my friends were like oh I can't it's Chinese New Year's and I'm like oh it is cuz like you know my parents aren't here and even if they were like we would just be like oh let's have a meal together we wouldn't have like whatever the traditional you guys don't do like some ████ giant house cleaning no what the ████ I I kind of feel that too like there were hella Japanese things that I asked my mom and she goes you want to do that that thing's boring really or like there's like cultural things that she goes yeah Festival I think it's it's one of those things where she grew up with it so and then so she's like that s███'s lame I don't want to ████ do that thing
9:16 don't you get more interested now though as I grow older I'm like can you tell me more about this or can you like when you're older yeah that's the thing like really want to be a part of all that stuff I think they don't see that it's I what my mom told me was like she didn't even think about teaching me the culture yeah because she doesn't even it's like air like it's there she doesn't even know that it's gone when she comes to the states and she's like she doesn't realize I'm raising an American kid so then I think there's also that too where she's like well it's America we don't do that we don't need to do that we don't have to go do this stuff but did you grow up cuz like we GRE in Arcadia like yeah but it's hella Chinese there that's what I mean like there's all these things and then I just don't know and like I'll hang out with friends that we'll talk about like we need to go clean the house before whenever yeah cuz
10:07 it'll be like Chinese New Year and apparently you're supposed to like clean the house like never before or something wow is that for like good luck or something yeah supposed to clean everything all the bad luck all the bad luck I would straight up like take apart the ████ toaster and like get all the crumbs out and all like like crazy like made you clean dude it just made ████ up craziest cleaning ever and then I just remember the whole day like all my friends would rotate can Bart come out to play and I'm like no I got to ████ clean the house like never before and they would just constantly rotate every couple hours can you come out to play now I'm like no I like that it's like never before it's an annual thing yeah every year like never before like remember how good we cleaned the house last year this year is even better than that oh I'm like what the ████ did you did you do Japanese culture stuff like uh yes I lived in okanawa up until I was like 6
10:58 years old uh you know sang It's like uh the abicus oh yeah I had I uh my aunt taught like class for that so my mom would make us go to that that ████ was so boring you have to go to class for that yeah my grandpa was so quick with that like just like I used to know how to use that thing it's really cool I mean now I wish I knew cuz I mean I was like four or five he taught me and I was like oh and it's actually useful like yeah people do it in their heads like they could imagine when you see an Asian kid doing this all yeah it's literally like asan it's cuz they're envisioning what how about like other people they're just trying to do gang signs what is it called sod sang sang what other things did you do that were like that uh I did like uh like o Island
11:49 style tyo drumming is it the one with oh no I'm thinking about the guitar where they got like snakes skin guitars oh oh like shami and stuff like that but it's a different style the thing where it's like U I think they call it the first chore first chore where they like send the kid off to run an erand In the City by themselves oh no I never had to do that but I know what you're talking about though that's so cute though oh it's like the first time you do your like you're independent yeah like when five and you're three and you go off and cross the stre so safe yeah yeah oh yeah I was like five or six my mom was like I was walking to school by myself at 3 years old I'm like what are youing but there's hella independent kids there though but usually you see them in groups you don't see them alone all the time yeah gang of kids and then they're all wearing like yellow hats or like Red Hats well then what kind of punishment did you get at home did you get Asian
12:39 style or brother style I think you got the brother style honestly I was like one of the lucky kids who honestly didn't really get beat all that much that is so tight yeah like I mean my mom my my mom slapped me up a couple times but like I honestly kind of deserved it yeah what about your brothers though was it one of those where like your brothers got beats you're like oh ████ not don't do that don't do that yeah I I did learn a lot from my brothers but like they weren't getting beat that much either like it was always kind of deserved oh so it was never like irrational kind of understand why uh and then a lot of people think my dad would be like really like uh like disciplinary military dad military dad but honestly he's never put a hand on us ever really wow he have like strict rules we did we uh not really even strict like was just like at least get a be in school don't break the law a b
13:31 don't break the law that's dope uh cuz he's half black if my parents told me to get B's I would probably get a no but if they didn't if they told me that I could get in gr I probably would have been like a c student honestly so and I I wanted to play sports so but that's that's nice that you didn't have to go through unnecessary whooping I know I mean I like your guys' stories though anything under I didn't have them I like your stories no but yeah yeah I was I got lucky with that yeah dude that's or did your parents get lucky with you cuz I kind of feel like good kid dude dude that's looking back I was a menace man he deserved it too I did some crazy ████ so I'm like yeah but also you know it was like if low impulse control parents low impulse controlled kid that's a bad
14:22 recipe that combo yeah when I moved to Phoenix and I saw like how kids other kids grew up I was like damn I'm an angel like my parents saw like the kids I went to school with what they do I don't like they they think yeah I was like an angel but like they didn't know they thought I was a bad kid it especially like the fact that your dad probably has so many ways to make you lose Consciousness yeah like I go water board he what he used to do though when we did get in trouble and he was around like I one time he made like made us like work out like we had do like squat holes or whatever push-ups and stuff like that and then one time I remember my brothers were getting in in trouble and they were doing like push-ups or whatever in the room and I was laughing at my brothers and I'm like I'm the youngest brother yeah and then he saw that was laughing he's like you laugh one more time I'll make you do it and then I laughed again and then he made me do it and I start crying that's hard you couldn't resist yeah it was it was just so funny watching my brothers be in
15:12 trouble yeah but if the punishment's working out that's pretty cool that doesn't associate negative feelings and Thoughts with working out if that's the punishment though did it not with ta I do cuz he likes working out but his punishments are workouts too and I thought it would but I think it's like it's kind of fun it's kind of like the vibe of what's going on so if he ████ up or whatever I'm like hey 20 burpees right now and he's like oh man I don't want to do whatever you know or you like 20 push-ups right now he'll do them and he'll bang them out and then when we're working out I'm like hey doe like 20 burpees or whatever but it's like a fun thing start start one with 20 burpees yeah I think it's more so like the vibe that's going on versus like the actual movement yeah cuz you power today so it's not like you hate it yeah I don't you ended up loving it more hey she power too you know oh for real sick I do
16:05 she's I do I do how come you never got your ass beat they're not that style um no my mom would my mom would threaten me with like the you know the back of like a back scratcher yeah or the the other side of the fly swatter oh you know like the wire the wire that loops around the wire part she would be really really close to me but she would never actually hit me that's almost like that was good enough psychological that was good enough if you've been smack that's that's way better I mean it's also way better when you haven't been yeah yeah yeah yeah cuz I got the the my mom's favorite was the back of a feather duster and like quack quack quack quack just running all over the house and I would scream you know CH me you know what's that me I'm like
