0:00 Can I go to Brian's house today? [Music] All right. Uh, we all love talking to our parents. We all love, uh, you know, chatting it up with them. I haven't talked to my mom in years. When, um, I guess at any point growing up, what is a time that you actually had to correct your parents about something and it didn't go well? Oh, dude. Growing up or as an adult? Either one. All the time. Yeah, most of the time. Well, my first correction that comes to mind was uh when I corrected my pops about disciplining Ta. Oh, yeah. Ta messed up. I forgot what it was. This is when he was like three or four. I was like, "Go uh stand in timeout right now." So, he goes, I make Ta um face the wall and he has to stand there for like I don't know 2 minutes, 5 minutes, whatever. And it's like
0:50 it's all sad and ████ And then um my dad comes from behind while it's like facing the wall and he dabs my eyes. And then he looks at he looks at me like, "Isn't that how can you do this to him?" And then he comes up to me like telling me like how how mean I am and how he doesn't deserve it, whatever. And I was like, "Dude, looking at the Ethan." Yeah. I told my dad I was like I was like, "Hey, we got to we got to go around the corner cuz I still don't want to ruin his uh position, right?" As soon as we go around the corner, I got up like my dad's face. I'm like, "Don't youing talk to me like that in front of my kid." I'm like, "This is my kid. This is how I'm going to run my household. You don't talk to me like that." And I'm plus you used to beat the out of me. I'm like I didn't even touch him. And my dad was like saying all kinds of ████ Cantonese and then he like like goes away and I was like dude this is crazy.
1:40 And did he ever do that again? Um he would disobey our house rules all the time. Like giving him chocolate or something. Yeah. Like giving him chocolates. I tell him don't give him chocolate. He's going to be too hyperactive. And then like you know I don't give him chocolate anymore. And then when we're doing like Tao's laundry, there's like little Hershey rappers in his pockets and stuff. I'm like, "Mother, you still give him chocolates all the time." Isn't it funny how they have amnesia that they did worse ████ and then they see that they're like, "I can't believe you're so mean." Like, you were so mean. Just a kid. He doesn't know what's going on. I'm like, he's like, "Where was that when I was your son, dude?" They're all wise now, dude. Grandparent syndrome. Is that a part of like how you cope with how you treated your kid is you try to go one level down and be nicer? You see it everywhere. You see where grandparents gymnastics, right? Cuz even before uh we had Taika, he
2:30 would always like talk to me and like, "Hey, when you have a son, make sure you never hit him." And when he started saying that, he would get teeyed. Cuz I think he's probably reminiscing what he used to do, you know? Yeah, that's heavy. Dang. No, he doesn't remember hitting you. He was just like, "I used to get beat so much." He's talking about his dad, bro. They got amnesia. Like Zech is my allergy. everybody that generation cuz it's not just my parents. Uh my my uncle like he doesn't remember like your parents don't remember or your dad does. Your dad remembers my mom. My mom doesn't remember either. There's a lot of people that generation. They don't remember how how much they beat the ████ out of their kids. I think my mom remembers my dad doing that, but he doesn't remember himself doing it. So that must mean that they were on autopilot. I think they get the blinders when you so angry cuz they're in it. They're in the thick
3:20 of it and they're in it every single day, you know. But also the volume is what kills them, you know? Also, like I I do question like how my perception of things was cuz like to me maybe I was like getting my ass beat. To him maybe it was like like dude that was just one really good spank. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I got pictures though. So when I when my parents got divorced, my dad my mom had a restraining order cuz my dad beat the ████ out of me. So I have to take pictures for court and there's like me like ████ as a little kid ████ bruises all over my body. I'm like bent over. There's bruises. So I'm like I remember like I think accurately what the results were. Damn, bro. Damn. You you filed it. That's next level. I'm like, "Okay, I remember the manila folder with the pictures." Yeah, there's a folder. There's a photo album of those things. And I'm wearing like uh you remember
4:11 those MC Hammer pants? Yeah. It's like my MC Hammer pants but like halfway down and you see like my butt cheeks and stuff. So, I was still kind of stylish. Park's not even thinking about the bruises. He's like, "Yo, I got to bring these pants back." The judge is like, "You're looking good, kid." What's the big deal? You have hammer pants. I just remember like always thinking like my dad would always ████ throw ████ at me. He would throw gangster ████ at me. He would one time he even threw like the ████ computer monitor, you know, when they were so big, right? The whole monitor. That was expensive back then. That had to carry it like this and ████ chuck it or like the little text table. Hey, what' you do though? No, but here's the thing though. Like it's only until I got older that I was like, "Damn, my dad has bad aim." Like he never hit me. And then like I got older, I was like, "Oh ████ he never hit me with it." Yeah, he was trying. Maybe he was trying to not hit me with Maybe he was trying to get rid of that monitor and get a new one anyway.
5:03 Anthony made me break the park and he's only shooting airballs like, "Oh, this guy just sucks." This consistent. That's true, dude. Dude, I remember one time my dad, this was in our front yard. I remember this. I was probably like in like my early 20s. Yeah. And this is one of the first times I saw him. Boy, my dad was always losing his ████ all the time, like in different scenarios. But this time he got my uncle's face and they were about to fight in front of my front yard and they like they were talking about some family ████ And that was the first time where I was like I I got in the middle and I was like, "Dad, what the ████ are you doing? Like you can't be doing this ████ This is crazy. Our whole family's here." And then that fool, you know, he just got pissed and just dipped out. But I remember being like, "Yo, my dad, I was probably like early 20s, maybe." Out of his own house over there. He just left. He just he was like, "Man, ████ this." And he just like flipped the
5:53 ████ out. Where do you think he went? Probably in his garage. I'm just ████ just just hermit. Yeah. Just dragged off. He's like, "I got lost with steam." Eighth Street Latinas. Let me turn this. He's like, "This calms me." Choose Asian Beaver. Dude, let me tell you about that, brother. Tuck tuck patrol. That's That's a whole channel, by the way. But that ████ was crazy where I was like, "Bro, my dad is literally losing his mind on his brother." And I was like, "You guys are ████ nuts." So, their beef was just like some internal ████ that wasn't Oh, yeah. It was just some family ████ you know. Just brothers, bro. Tell them it's about money. Oh, yeah. Of course, bro. Of course. Yeah. Now I think about it, my dad only I only remember my dad hitting me one time and one time only. Once when? Once cuz my mom would do the spanking. Oh. And then your dad was like gone for most of your life, too. Well, no. No, but but can't hit you when he's gone.
6:44 Hit you while he's an overseas. The time my dad was there, he only he only hit me and my brother once. What' you do? Cuz he was I think all his anger was towards my older brother. Your older brother got it back. Yeah. Yeah. My step older brother at the time. Maybe cuz you're the baby. So you you weren't being that much trouble. ████ Pro probably not. Yeah. And we were probably looking at my older brother like don't be like him. So my dad was like, "See, don't be like him." You know what I mean? So we would never get in trouble. He only hit us once, but I remember my mom spanking us and my uncle, but my dad never would really spank us. What What was What was the reason your dad hit you? It was that one time I told the story where I was like, "Dad, I don't want to read a book. It's the summer just started." Then my dad was like, I remember him taking a ████ He was so st he Now I look at it on a toilet. Now I look at it, I'm pretty positive he was stressed out. Oh, for sure. For sure. Mid ████ Doesn't even wipe. gets up to
7:36 ████ you up, dude. Dude, dude, mid ████ he's just like this. Like ████ I know he was stressed out cuz he was just like this. Like, no. That's a breaking point, bro. Who takes a ████ like that when they're not stressed? But then, but but that's what I'm saying. You look more calm on the toilet. Maybe my dad was like, "Go read a book cuz I need you to be smart, not to be stressing like this." But I was just like, "Damn, I was playing games." And maybe he was like, "I need you to leave me alone while I'm taking a s███." Yeah. Stop talking to me and asking if I'm Korean. I would have told my dad, "Stop talking to us. But my dad mid ████ gets up, puts his ring on. Damn, that put a ring on to ████ you up and yank my face. I was like, "Oh my god, that hurt." That fool slapped you with a ring. Not even wiping or anything. He just got up mid ████ dick out, put his ring on.
8:27 Boom. And I was just like, "Damn, that was like some Korean drama ████ I will put on a ring." And then when he when he sat back on the toilet, took the ring off and then bro my brother came on was like, "Why would you hit Subin and my dad?" So he's butt naked, slapping both of you guys. But naked, dick hanging, passing out cocka wipes. Your brother slapped your dad? No, my dad slapped my brother and but but worse than his brother. But can we rewind a little bit? Why were you talking to him while he was taking a ████ and his doors wide open? Because my dad s████ with the doors open all the time. And that's usually their father-son conversational moments. You poop with the door open. I do not. Little boy. That's how you know it's really stressed because he left the door open to do this. So he wasn't even trying to hide it. He's like, no, that's what I'm saying. He's like, I got to get the ████ out of here.
9:18 I get I get the sentiment though cuz kids do stress you the ████ out. I was ████ You know when you're showering, you're just like by yourself, right? I'm in my own thoughts. I'm like this. I look over Ta's face is on the glass. this ████ nose pressed right here like looking at me and the my first impulse is like get the ████ away from me. Let me just be in my own thoughts for a second. Yeah. Yeah. There's something he's so excited about that he has to tell me or whatever. But I just look over his face. He's looking at me through the glass. I'm like, "Dude, trying to enjoy your shower." Yeah. He's just trying to relax for a second. And I'm like, that's why he's probably like, "Go read a book." And you're like, "That's why parents beat our asses because at least I'm not stressed out like the way my parents were." So imagine you are stressed out. Then you look over and then you see this. You're like probably push the ████ For real. For real. Just

Thank you guys. Join our Patreon, help us out. Thanks. See you guys there. Say hi to me. Bro, my mom used to get mad at me when I got sick. When I got sick, she'd be like, "What the ████ is wrong with you? You always get sick. Blah blah blah. It's a distance now. You got to take care of me now. But half the time it would be like if I would have to cough into my pillow so she can't hear me. Cuz if I start coughing, she'll start yelling me like, "Shut the ████ up." Like she told me, "Shut the ████ up." Yeah. So be like,
11:00 "I'm still for real. I'm so healthy." One time, one time, one time I I was I just threw up. One time I just threw up on the floor and I just I was sick. And she's like, "What the ████ is wrong with you? What the ████ Like, god damn, bro. And as a kid, I was afraid to get sick. I was like, bro, I can't get sick. Like, ████ my mom's going to beat my ass if I get sick. But that's the ████ is like my mom would act crazy and have You don't get sick. But does she do that to your sisters when they get sick? I don't think so. Damn. But this is when I was much youngest and while they were all older, you know, so it was like It should have been more chill if you're the youngest. Yeah. But, you know, I think they were expecting me to be ████ like my sisters already, you know, like But once again, it's like when you when you're stressed all the time and you're kind of like not happy, you know, you you
11:50 ████ do ████ to your kids that you don't like. A little bit of space. Yeah. So, anytime ████ happens, you're like, "F███." Yeah. Obviously, not chill to do. And obviously, I'm I'm paying for those demons as a as an adult, but you know, it's like that's where I It's kind of funny. It's so sad. But then, don't you all remember now trying to catch your parents at good timing? Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's I totally forgot that when you when you ask it's got to be good moods. I forgot that like there was just no reasonable like factor of like oh is my dad going to respond good or bad to the same thing. And honestly that was a big difference and when you would find a right time to tell like oh I need this or it would work out perfectly all the time. You got to show your report card or some ████ like wait for them to be in a good mood. But nothing was scarier than like getting in trouble and then you have to tell them and they're already in a bad mood. That ████ was like a death
12:40 sentence. I'm like, "Oh, I'm not going to live." It's the straw that broke the camel back. But I'm the camel, dude. And back then when you're a kid, you really don't know what it's like to be stressed about finances like they probably were. You know what's crazy now that I'm thinking about it? You guys ever you guys ever have to like give them bad news? Like a report card, and this wasn't even a joke. Like, and and then being like, "Yeah, damn." Or, you know, report cards are going back home today. You're like, "F███." I was uh one of my friends who's a lawyer now was just talking to me the other day and when we were like six cuz we went to school together from like age 5 to 13 and we used to always want to go to each other's houses. So we were like our parents are both all Filipinos so we're like we got to get them while they're laughing and then ask them, "Can I go over to Brian's house?" So So me and him had this plan. We went up to them and uh our parents were like
13:31 talking to each other and we we went like this started doing the arm wave. Can I go to Brian's house today? And then they went, "Yeah, just over that." Smart. And we looked at each other. We're like, "We're geniuses." Every time you do it. Yeah. We just got to ask in a silly way and they'll go, "Okay." You didn't just turn on the karaoke machine and then just like Oh my god, dude. Then we never leave. Dude, that's funny because when we did that, all all we had to do was have the uh my homies parents call our parents. Oh, parent to parent. Yeah. cuz he my home the Air Force homie like they were the typical military kids house garage race cars RC cars call ask their parents and their parents would call my parents like white parents like just super white dude I feel like if white parents call my parents back in the 80s they would say yes to anything yeah dude the dad the dad was a uh what
14:22 do you call it he was a pilot he was in the air force and everything but he was flying to like Iraq and Afghanistan but those two homies right now they both fly F-16s and F-35s Wow. Oh, damn. Yeah. But anyways, he calls It's actually not that impressive. He calls his uh That's gangster, bro. He calls his parents and the parents would call my mom and then my mom will be like, you know, just try to be very Americanized at the same time. Oh, yes, yes, yes. No problem. Hangs up and be like, don't be out there too long. And I'm like, damn, bro. Can I sleep over at least? Don't be out long. Can I sleep over? I used to pressure my friend's dad. Like he'll be like uh they're going to go to like a Dodger game or whatever and they'll be like, "Hey, Bar, you want to come?" I'm like, "Yeah." And I run home. I'm like, "Hey, mom, can I go watch Dodger game with Mark?" Whatever. She's like, "No, you got to stay home." And I'm like, "Okay, I'm going to go tell him." And I go to the dad. I'm like, "So my mom said no." But if you go ask him, it might be yes. And so he would come,
15:12 "Hey, can bar come with us?" And you know, like Asians got to show face. Oh yeah, of course. Totally, ████ That's not what you said 5 minutes ago. Dude, I forgot about that dynamic, dude. Here's some money. You know, get a hot dog, right? Yeah. That dynamic's so whack, dude. ████ That's what That's what it is, man. These Asians got to show out for the white people. You know what I'm saying? And dude, especially for white parents, dude. White brands are always like, "Oh, yes, no problem. Have fun, but not too long." Yeah. I uh they want to seem like such good parents. Yeah. Stupid. Oh, yes. I'll keep an eye on them. Mhm. Oh, good time. I never hit I never hit him for one day. He He disciplined himself. He disciplines himself. Good boy. Subie be good boy.
16:02 He's a good boy. Nobody ever spank him. We're not like that. Those bruises are just playing. That's no class. We don't do that. That's no class. So sad. Good times. Yeah, man. I love the amnesia parents have about the worst times. But you know what? You're right though. That point of like being a little kid, it does feel like you're getting your ass destroyed, but you might just be getting whacked around. But for them, it's like I disciplined you a little bit. Yeah. And I I get it if my dad doesn't think it was that big of a deal, but to my like tiny freaking That was our whole world. Yeah. I just felt like I was going to die. You said he put a belt on your neck, right? But he wrapped a belt and just ████ did this. That's crazy. That's crazy to me, too. But he has no memory of it. Yeah. Like my dad knocked a tooth out of me from like hitting me like consistently and my mom had to finally stop and I was bleeding and stuff. But But you're a big kid, though.
16:52 That's nuts. Well, you probably already had a loose tooth. That's what I'm saying. It was maybe already loose. I definitely deserved it. I definitely deserved it. And then maybe like, you know, he just got some good wax in. My dad called me when he was choking me with a belt, he called me a son of a ████ and I almost laughed. Go, you got why you got a ████ Why is mom collateral damage? You know what's hilarious? But you're a ████ That means I'm your son. I forgot what Tao was doing, but he got in trouble and I was yelling at him, but it was right after he uh took a shower. And right now he hasn't cut his hair in a while. So he looks like a beetle. Like you know like one of the Beatles. Yeah. Yeah. So his hair looks like a like a mushroom. Like it's just floating. And as I was like trying to discipline him, I couldn't help it. I told I had to tell G to take over. I just see like this mushroom.
17:42 It's long. And it's so ████ funny. He looks like a lamp. Yeah. What the ████ Why don't Why don't you cut it? He doesn't want to. He doesn't want to. And we're trying to be those parents where like, you know, like we couldn't choose some more like we let him choose. A ████ sit down. Quiet down. Get your asses cut. I would I'm just kid. I I can't even cut my kids hair, too. You're right. My wife's like, "Don't you dare touch." I'm like, "All right, I won't touch." I try to pay him, too. I'm like, "Yo, I'll give you 20 bucks if you get a haircut." And he goes like, "Nah." Does he want to like Does he want to have like long cool Tarzan hair or something? I don't know what he wants. I just think kids don't like change. So, it's like if you're like, "Hey, go change your t-shirt." They're like, "Oh, wow. I want to wear one every day." Yeah. Experience. Is it maybe the experience of his haircuts? He Ghost is the one with like a rocket ship and he gets the ████ That's the only time he gets to play video games.
18:32 No, it's it's the experience of like your friends and stuff. If he like goes around and his friend gets like a new haircut and gets a a lot of attention, he's gonna come home, he's gonna be like, "Hey, I want a haircut." Cuz I remember going to dude, we never went to like a whole salon or barber shop. My mom sent me to a ████ another Korean lady in a garage or something in like this like Micronesian town apartment and she was the only one Korean in that whole apartment and I was like what the ████ I remember passing through all these and there was always these Micronesians in a group in Salt Lake. They always and I was just like god damn we got to go through these guys all the time for haircuts. It was intimidating at that time. Sad. They make fun of whatever cut you come out with. Right. Right. But what's even more savagy is my mom taking us there. No fear. She doesn't even think of nothing about how dangerous it could be. Cuz she's not racist.
19:22 I'm not racist either. She loves Macron. It's just my mom had no concept of Yeah. You know the whole why they all kick it? They just thought they just kick it. She goes there goes those cultural people. You know damn well these people are just like smoking. They were just maybe they just kicking it at that time. But dude, that's and I always hated getting my haircuts from her cuz she took ████ long. Always playing Korean music and I'm just like she always when you got to cut your back of your hair, she shoves your head down and I'm like ████ hurry up, bro. My my dad hell the worst time. That's why I never like cutting my hair. My dad made me cry because I was ████ getting made fun of at school because I think in second grade, but my barber would never cut my sideburns. So I had like long ass like cybers. Nasty. Disgusting. And then like in second grade
20:13 in second grade. And then disgusting. And then my my dad was like I was like begging my dad like can I get like a hair like a like what's it called? The freaking like tiger beat. You know the kids on the cover of like Oh yeah. Yeah. I wanted like a mushroom cut where this part's short cuz I was like new. And I'm like and my dad's like why why do you want that? And I started crying and I was like cuz everyone calls me Elvis. He started laughing. He just walked away. Bro, you got to get a picture of you looking like Elvis. All the pictures when I'm in second grade, I look like Elvis. I just have like long assignments. But then I was I was just I was crying and trying to explain that I get called Elvis at school cuz I was That was like the ultimate this though. Yeah. People would call me Elvis. Like Elvis was cool for their generation, but everyone made fun of Elvis. Probably laugh and be like, "That's so cool. These kids are so cool now."
21:05 But I was hella sobbing. It was like god damn it.
