0:00 I imagine all these Japanese people trying Taco Bell for the first time in America and they just ████ their pants. American style diarrhea, dude. Holy ████ balls. It's a very get with the program culture where it's like you're an outsider, but you're welcome. So how do they welcome you exactly or or or not? >> They welcome me by saying, "Go back to America." I wish what we adopt from them is how to be civilized. Okay, have you guys seen this on X, right, Twitter? They started to do this default thing where it immediately translates Japanese into English and vice versa. So like American users are able to just read tweets and it's from like a Japanese cat that you would you would have never been
0:50 able to read before. This has been going on for like like a month now and there's just been hella like this between Japanese and Americans >> or English speakers. What do you think that Why do you think that is? Well, one is Japan has a huge I think they might even use X the most out of all the countries. So it's like a big user base. And then um they've always liked US culture, but like cos playing it they just thought it was fun. So like I think Americans just caught on to how much they love American ████ And then cuz there's memes like be the American that Japan thinks you are. So like >> Oh yeah, that's a great meme. And so they're all like trying to make their food more like American barbecue and Americans are trying to make our food more like Japanese
1:40 barbecue. And they're like sharing pictures on Twitter and it's all being instantly translated so they're like they're like it's like homie culture right now, you know? So like this is some guy who just he he's this Japanese guy who went to Whataburger in Texas and he wanted to post about it and let all the all the American boys know that he actually tried it after like they like like Joe said it's been a month of this so he's like I'm going to go try Whataburger. Like there'll be guys that like they'll just have a picture of like a southern cookout and then in Japan and then they'll be like I wish I was a part of this and then they're like getting invited and ████ >> Wow, that's cool. >> they'll show like like a like a you know like how they have those tractors with the spinning big front >> Yeah, yeah. cylinder thing and they'll have Americans will have like meat all over it and they're like this is enough to feed like one American. Yeah, that that's a big joke out there
2:31 of how much we eat cuz like you know how in Hawaii there's hella Japanese tourists and if you look over a whole family sometimes orders like a person's entree one person's entree and they split it. >> Yeah. Like I was at a I was at this breakfast joint Boots and Kimo's ████ bomb, right? And they have like these smothered pancakes it's so fire and then you get like a entree and what what what we'll do is most Americans will get like an entree and then you have pancakes and then that'll be your meal, right? We saw a family of four share one ████ omelet and one pancake stack. Damn, I mean that's that's probably more healthy though. Definitely. Yeah, yeah cuz American breakfast size is crazy. >> Portion control baby. We don't give a ████ But yeah so check this out so this is a guy who he says to my American friends who
3:21 showed me so many amazing barbecues, guns and dogs I wanted to share this with you from Japan. It's a facility in Kyoto where you can experience cutting a straw target with a Japanese sword and by the way that's me doing the cutting. So he's just showing this for the boys. >> sick. That is really Look at what we got. They do show and tell and ████ It's so slow. >> buddy. Bro, tell us when it hits. >> it goes. Boom. Oh. That's dope. Sick. Thing that he way too slow on the up up keep. >> I can see so many like random fat dudes in Oklahoma going, "I wish I could slice some s███." Yeah, dude. Remember those Cold Steel uh the demonstrate or Cold Steel demonstrations? The guys that would slice the water bottles back in the day? I love those guys. It's like that
4:11 reminds me of guys laying in the Star Wars kid. Oh, dude, yeah. That Star Wars kid. >> Stuck in computer lab, he's doing Star Wars ████ and gets made fun of forever. One of the first like earliest viral videos. >> Yeah. There's a um I think it was a expat community or something, but basically it's called America Town and they have a whole Is it in Okinawa? Uh I forgot where it was, but it might be near a base. >> Yeah, cuz I was thinking it's probably near like a a military >> yeah, America Town, but they they they get all these like American um like franchises there and then you can go have the American experience. That's funny. Speaking of Okinawa, this guy's just like, "America, this is Okinawa taco rice." Just Taco rice. >> that's rice and then there's that looks like beef. >> And then the cheese, okay. One just opened up as a pop-up in Hawaii and I I
5:02 really wanted to go, but it's yeah, it's like a A taco rice place? Have you had those haystacks before? Like a Frito pie? Oh, yeah. So imagine a Frito pie, but instead of Fritos it's just rice. I imagine all these Japanese people trying Taco Bell for the first time in America and they just ████ their pants. DEFINITELY. AMERICAN STYLE DIARRHEA, DUDE. IT'S CRAZY TO THINK THAT WE COULD LIVE IN A WORLD THOUGH WHERE it's almost like we're all using the same platform and everyone from every language is just writing whatever they're saying and we can read it all. Yeah. Remember when you get like sometimes you'll get like a Instagram reel where it's auto translated? You ever seen those? >> yeah. It'll be like you'll be like what the ████ Why does it feel so weird? >> of order even, yeah. And then the And
5:52 then the way they're talking is like so off. You're just like, what is this? Oh, and then you see the the mouth doesn't sync and you're like, oh, these are Venezuelans or some ████ >> Yeah. It is pretty cool though to know it went from blowing the ████ up out of Japan to now being best friends. I know. See how fast you can freaking recover and progress? >> like what? Less than 50 years. >> what we adopt from them is how to be civilized. Like you know, like following order and like having a straight line going into a concert or if like, you know, like everything could could be orderly. Not everything has to be a riot every single time. Do Jap- Japanese people don't cut lines, right? No shot. Dude, they'll ████ form a line when there doesn't even need to be a line. I'm like, what the heck?
6:42 I think they love it based on how opposite it is. Oh, that's why. I see. >> Yeah. Well, at least like the ████ that I hear and it's it's always like how big everything is, how like free everything is and how like people could do whatever they want. So, I think that's the Cuz you know in Japan, like if your train is 3 minutes late, then your fare is free. Oh, wow. >> I wonder if they come here and like Southwest delays a flight. They're like, yes! I want to experience a delayed flight. So, these guys are just saying to my American brothers, we're fans of of the Cowboys from the movie Tombstone, so they dressed up like it. That's cool. >> The purple handkerchief? Tombstone, they they wore those colors? No. No, but They look like gay cowboys. >> just wearing cowboy outfits. >> Not even close. >> Not even close. I I I really like how
7:32 endearing it is. Yeah. >> This is like when Marty McFly went back back to the future to like the old West. >> in that pink and green like, yeah. But you know how like the whole um people were like I don't want to culturally appropriate, right? But like out there they like seeing foreigners wearing kimonos and everything. Yeah. Cuz they're like yeah like like when they see people walking around wearing like all the outfits cuz that's what they want to do when they come here. They're like I want to ████ dress like >> Try to try everything. >> They'll do that ████ from over there. I know, right? Yeah. >> They'll get ████ cholo culture all of a sudden. I wonder what they think of Beverly Hills Ninja like Chris Farley in a ninja They probably think it's hilarious.
8:22 They're probably more like why is the Chinese guy playing the Japanese guy, remember? Robin Shou. Oh, yeah, yeah. Liu Kang. Oh, yeah. What's that guy's name? I don't even know. >> Ernie Reyes Jr. Robin Shou. Oh, Robin Shou. Yeah. But yeah, that's that's so fascinating. This is united the internet and and >> this. It's cool. I like trading cultures, trying different things. I hope the internet who doesn't understand this can learn more about how easily Japanese culture like is accepting. You know, like they're so easy to mesh with. They're so down. They're so cool with everything. They're not going to be all up stick up their ass about you wearing ████ ninja outfits. Yeah. But they're also like so I think them and Iceland are the only two countries that are kind of homogeneous or like that's just the
9:12 whatever race is there it's not like multicultural. And then there's only like less than like 2% of the population is like other than Japanese. Oh, wow. So a big part of it is like if you're not from the city, like if you're non-Asian, like let's say you're black or European or whatever, they everyone's going to want to take a photo with you. So like right what like Tokyo is like New York. They're like tired of immigrants or like you know, they're just like there's already too many here or whatever, right? But as soon as you get out into the countryside, they've never seen non-Japanese. So they'll just be like, "Can I take a photo with you?" And then people like, "Why?" Yeah, that happened to me. I was I was I was getting off the plane in Taiwan and I these Asian people came up to me and they asked me for a picture. I just thought they were big time Steve heads or whatever, but obviously they had no idea who the hell I am. They just wanted
10:02 a picture with the like a big tall white dude. >> Yeah. So I think they're just fascinated by like the outside world. And then and then cos playing is a big thing in Japan where like they get into like anime and they want to dress up and play that ████ yeah. It's all in good spirit. I I really like it. I think this shows like how easily you could bridge gaps. Yeah. And this is across like the ocean. We should be able to do that easily here. >> Do you know what the funny the funny thing behind all of it is is that they're so easy to bridge gaps with and like exchange culture, but you can't be moving there and becoming Japanese no Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Bro, even they're racist against me. >> Or if you What if you go and assimilate to them, though? Like you like if you go there and you don't bring your American culture and then you're like, you know, when in Rome? Like do you think they would be more accepting? Maybe on paper, but
10:53 every Japanese American I know like what he just said that does business there or works there or lives there, they are not accepted. >> Yeah. Yeah. We're we're kind of like the what do you call it? Like you're tainted by other cultures. Oh. So like once you You're like a bastard. It's not about just the blood. So like you could be 100% Japanese, but they're like, "You're an American." And it's like, "Why?" Cuz you're born and raised there. The way you sit, the way you think, everything about you is American. And they're like, "You might speak Japanese, but you're not one of us." Yeah. And then so there's things that culturally people are okay with that it's like a hazing process a frat. So, it's like if you're down to be a little ████ to be a part of the hierarchy, to drink the Kool-Aid, then you're one of us. But, if you're not getting with the program, it's a very get with the
11:44 program culture where it's like you're an outsider, but you're welcome. It's It's different. Yeah. So, how do they welcome you exactly or or or not? >> They welcome me by saying, "Go back to America." No, they're cool. They're like they'll they'll call me like when I start speaking Japanese um you know, I think the the translation's more like, "Oh, you're you're you're one of us or your people from the home." Or whatever. Like but they'll like the normal people will treat you like that. But, if you start working there, if you start >> Corporate world, huh? >> Basically, yeah, having to deal with like, "Oh, I live there." Neighbors will be cool. Like the everyday people are cool. It's It's just like here, right? But, then like when you want to let's say I don't know. Let's say you become a part of a company and then you want to like go up the ranks and all that. It's It's different. Like you're still going to have a problem.
12:34 >> you at a distance. >> Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Mhm. But, I think it's changing though. Like there's a lot of people that are not even Japanese that are entrepreneurial. Like there's this one British guy. I think he's like um a like I just watched a podcast of him being a a recruiter. But, he he makes hella money. But, he doesn't compete with Japanese companies. What he does is he gives bilingual Japanese speakers jobs in an international market. So, like there's ways to make hella cash there and become like a boss and work in the economy, but you can't compete with the moguls there. Yeah. Wow. Sick. We love you, Japan. I don't. ████ you guys.
