Keep scratching. >> And then ask him >> Oh yeah, why are you so itchy, man? >> This is dry place. >> Damn it, that was so good. >> We're doing this take again? >> Oh, man. >> Is our entire show scripted? Every single video, we memorize scripts. >> We've been doing AI stuff now. >> it. Yeah, look, I got not 12 fingers. >> What's something that your parents believe completely, whether it be like a rule or value, worldview, or just like how the house is run, something that that's just how it's always been, and you couldn't wait for you to either move out or be an adult, and you're just going to scrap this rule? >> Damn, there were so many, bro. One was after after a This is what they told me as a
0:56 kid, probably to get me to sleep, but they said, "After 10:00, that's the time of the devil." at night. >> Oh, yeah. >> And I was like, "For real?" >> Devil's hour. >> It's the realm It's the realm of the devil. And I was like, "F███, that's crazy." And I used to just >> Does that Does that mean you have to be home by 10:00? Or like what? >> No, you have to sleep. >> You'll be asleep. >> But you know what's funny? Now that I'm older, I actually believe it. >> It's true, right? >> Cuz no good decisions are made after 10:00. You don't eat chicken breast and broccoli at 11:00 p.m. You know, like every bad decision, like you stay up late, you wake up late, like you don't You're not on the treadmill at 11:00. >> What kind of websites are you on? >> You're not reading at 11:00. >> Well, you know what it did to me? It made me an insomniac because I was like, "I'm going to STAY UP CUZ DEVIL MIGHT ████ ME WHILE I'M SLEEPING." >> TOO MUCH SCARED. >> Too much scaring when you were a child. That's what it is. Your parents should have just said, "Devil won't ████ you."
1:47 >> blast FM like really loud in my room cuz I feel like the devil wouldn't like like come to my room and >> the weekly top 40. >> They wouldn't come into my room if they knew that I was partying. >> The voice of Alan Kay and Rick Dees defended you. >> Rick Dees. Yo, Alan Kay's voice, dude. >> What about you? >> Yeah, which which one of Bart's millions do you want to hear? >> Thinking about it, like cuz I kind of had a transitional phase, which was cool. So, up to 15 >> puberty >> Huh? >> Never mind, keep going. >> Up to 15, I lived a like non-human existence. >> Cuz my mom was like, you wake up, you got to do >> Your mom >> Buddhist burpees that I talked about in another video in the morning. And then my mom would make me like even as a kid, I'll be like 5 years old. And then she's like, go
2:37 outside and jump on the trampoline for 15 minutes to cure your asthma. And then I find out later you're not supposed to exacerbate your asthma, but she thought that if I kept like huffing and puffing, I would like cure my asthma. So, I'm like 5 years old before going to kindergarten, just jumping on trampoline like for ████ 15 minutes. So, >> of breath. >> like this crazy routine all the time, vegetarian breakfast. >> That sounds so fun. Imagine being forced every morning to jump on a trampoline. >> every morning >> I don't even have asthma. >> And then my mom made this nasty ████ thing every morning. It would be hot milk and dissolved eggs. I don't know why she made it, but she thought it'd be like really nutritious. I guess it is nutritious, but it's hot milk, dissolved eggs. So, she cracked the milk's boiling, she cracks the egg in it and spins it real quick with the um with the >> Just Just add cinnamon and it's like eggnog. >> But, there's ████ yolk that ████
3:29 clumps in there cuz it's ████ hot. So, you're drinking like you're drinking like loogie with ████ chalky yolk and ████ >> like grass jelly? >> Yeah, it's just ████ weird. So, that's like that's my upbringing. I got kicked out of school, and then my dad's like, come live with me. So, I'm like 15 moving with my dad in Almani. And I'm like, all right, what kind of ████ rules are not happen here? And my dad was like way more normal. He was like, "Hey, try to come home every night and uh you probably need a car. So, I'll buy I'm going to buy you a car." So, he he he he he he bought me a um a Civic. No, no, no. He helped me buy a a car off my aunt. It was a Toyota Cressida, like a old school car for like 2 Gs or something. And then he was like, "You probably need a cell phone cuz you're in America and people communicate with each other." So,
4:19 I think for him he was very like "This is your society. You need to be plugged in." But then my mom was more so, "You don't deserve it. You don't deserve a phone." I'm like, "All my friends got phones." "You don't deserve it. What did you have a 4.0?" "You don't have a 4.0, you don't get a phone, you don't get a car, you don't get to talk on the landline at home, you don't get to watch TV, you don't get to eat meat. Like you got to earn all those things." And I'm like, "F███. All right." So, that was my world and then moving in with my dad he was like, "Hey, like what kind of snacks you like?" I'm like, "I like root beer floats." And so, we'll go to like the supermarket and then I'll actually buy A&W and like vanilla ice cream so I can have a root beer float like every day. Like it was like >> Weird switch. No wonder they couldn't get to stay together. Like that's too different. >> the human being, like a regular human being. Like if I ████ up, it doesn't mean I don't get to eat. But you know, my mom was like, "You ████ up, so
5:09 you're just going to eat cabbage cuz you ████ up." >> Damn. >> It was just crazy. >> was hella rigid. That's what it is. >> And your dad was a little bit more like loose with the >> Like he'll be like, "You ████ up." And then he's like, "What do you want to eat?" Like I'll get suspended. >> I don't Bro, I think we just figured out why you why you love root beer floats. That's like a childhood thing right there. You still like them now? >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> No, cuz I'll be like, let's say I got suspended, right? Like my first month at school at Keppel I was still ████ up, so I got suspended. I got into a fight. And then at lunch >> First month you got into a fight? >> into a fight. And then my my dad was like um he was like, "So, what do you want to eat?" Cuz I'm staying at home now. I was like, "What do you want to eat for lunch?" And I was I'm "Oh s███." I'm like, "McDonald's?" He's like, "Yeah, let's go." I'm like, "Holy s███!" >> That's ████ great cuz that would be a reward in my mom's, you know? But my dad's like, "Food's just food. You're going to have to eat food." You know? And I'm like, "Damn."
5:59 >> You're so prompt. You get McDonald's for getting suspended? So, this prompt is actually just Bart like going, "I can't wait till I move out of my mom's house." >> That's all it is. >> That was normal. Normal dad, dude. >> Well, how are how are you running it with Tiko though? Are you more like your mom? Are you more like your >> I think a little blend. Like uh he there's a lot of things he has to earn. But also, I think when it's like necessities, you don't have to earn necessities. >> He has to do non-Buddhist burpees. >> Like he doesn't have to have a 4.0 to have a blanket to sleep with or some ████ you know? Like like ████ like that. >> Damn, dude. That's a good idea. I'mma do that. You want a blanket? You got to buy it. With grades. It's truly like commissary in prison.
6:49 >> Yeah, that was crazy. >> Do you have any rules in your household? >> Well, compared to ████ Bart, >> like my childhood like we had a ton of restrictions. But I think a big one that like is a small one, but move mountains for me in my life is being able to have a ████ fan on you or like the AC on when you go to sleep. >> Chinese ████ >> turning on the AC cuz there would be times where Tiff would be like, "Hey, it's hot in here. Can we turn on the AC?" And I'm like, "We got to do it till like 7:00." And it's so bro, it's so automatic to me, right? It's so cuz my mom, she I don't know what maybe it's a Chinese woman thing, but or maybe it's just my mom. She would like to see how long she could suffer for. And then she'd be like she'll be sweating in the house, bro. >> taps out and then
7:39 >> And then she'll be like, uh we're all sitting on the couch hot in the summer. We're just like we have hand fans. And then we're like, we don't even think about asking to turn on the air. We don't even think about that. >> ever like did they ever tell you it's cuz it's too expensive? >> Yeah, that too or just use a hand fan like some ████ like that. And we'd be all sitting there all of us just sweating. My dad's pissed. He's like cuz when he when he gets hot, he gets so he gets so grumpy, dude. >> Broke like why why did they not like that? >> I don't know. I don't know. But then eventually at the end she'd be like, all right, you can turn it on. And it's already night time and ████ you know, but it's still hot, right? >> like it's not even like a nice temperature. Just just turn it to 80. >> So we would we would have My move, I would sit by the vent cuz I I think I just ran I was always itching as a kid. I was always like hot.
8:29 And I I would just sit by the vent and just just sit by That's all I would do. And I'd be like, oh, this is the ████ life right here. >> Getting this 80 degree air. >> Cuz when that cold air hit through the vent, it was different than the fan. The fan was one thing, but the vent was like oh, brother. My eyes I was like Stephen Hawking and ████ like oh, brother. >> Wait, so like the like this kind of fan, right? >> Yeah, like a >> You you can't have one like >> So my mom would get mad at us like if she if I put it on myself. >> Mhm. >> Like if blowing the wind on yourself? No, it's not even that. >> It's like cheating or something. >> thing. It's like you're going to get sick. >> Yeah. >> Would it happen sometimes? But you got to let me sleep. You got to let me get through it. >> You get sick. That's that's how it always is. >> It's weird, yeah. >> Yeah. >> So at night now
9:19 we get to turn on the AC and I sleep like a ████ baby. >> They not sell fans in China cuz they make it there? >> They just do this. >> Oh wait, so hand fan's okay, but not electric fan. >> We can have electric fan sometimes, but like at specifically at night with an electric fan it was like a problem. >> Yeah, don't sleep with it. Yeah. >> Like pointing at your bed? >> Yeah. >> So, you could point it to the wall? >> No, it's just like if there's like a constant breeze while you're trying to sleep, it's like not good for you, you know, you're going to get sick. >> Also, it's like >> the Chinese medicine mentality. Like the like the chi and the energy and yeah. >> So, now I go to my mom's house and sometimes and she it's hot and I'm like, "Brother, >> You still doing this >> I'm like, "Hey, turn it on, set it to a temperature." And I tell them like, "HVAC people, the guys that work in air conditioning will tell you that it's cheaper if you leave it at one set
10:09 temperature." >> And you seal all the windows. >> Exactly. And I was like, "Just do that for the love of God." I was like, "You're a 67." She's like sweating in the house. I'm like, "Brother, please turn the air on." >> Like it's just freaking full blast throttle like >> Yeah, and then she's like, "I can't sleep." And I'm like, "Yeah, cuz it's hot as ████ in your room. Turn the AC on in here." >> thing I would see my grandpa, like even when family visits, no one turns on the AC. So, my grandpa has his own like little ████ fan. And he'll be sleeping like this. And then he's like slowly falling asleep cuz it's nice and cool finally. And then it goes like this. And then it's like so ████ hot that he wakes up. >> Yeah. >> And I'm like, "Dude, poor grandpa. Dude, just turn on the goddamn AC." >> this is the reason why This is the reason why you see Chinese people fall asleep everywhere. >> Cuz it's so hot?
10:59 >> They don't turn on the AC. They don't turn on the fan. >> So, they're heat exhausted. >> I think so. >> They're like constantly heat stroked. >> And that's why they fall asleep. You know where they fall asleep? Public places. You know why? Cuz they got AC. At the department store, the mall, maybe the bus. Even that is a little bit more ████ conditioned. I think we cracked the case, boys. >> You're sweating your ass off, dude. >> Yeah. >> You know what You know what is funny about that though? Like I think in my mind cuz I just like the AC I'm also I also have those tendencies. But then it's also like sound. I remember being a kid and then they would just never let me turn up the volume on anything. Like nothing. So then I got >> Turn it down. >> I got older, I made money, so I bought like Bose like surround sound systems for your TV and ████ And then I'm still I'm like I'm like I can't I can't turn it too loud. Not past 25. Not past 25. >> Did you guys share walls in your house
11:49 with other neighbors? >> But even then it's not like we were rocking subwoofers back then. It was just like the thing that came from the TV speakers. It's not even like loud. Yeah. >> Especially when you live in a house with like six people or something. >> Yeah. >> It's all loud. Everyone's doing something. Yeah, so your TV you can't hear what's on the ████ >> I do enjoy though that like every rule that was a rule, everything that was like the fiber of their being as parents, now that I like I'm rarely home to keep me home, I could do anything. I get away with anything. I could show up like ████ drunk. I could They'll give me like the one fan that's in the house and they'll suffer for it just as long as I can just be there. And it's very sweet. >> That is sweet. >> It's crazy how it goes full circle, huh? >> I appreciate say something nice about your parents.
12:39 Appreciate your parents right now, please.
