0:00 Okay, you know how when some products are so good that it's universally recognized that like oh, this um Japanese product is the best one and everybody knows >> Like a Japanese TV or something. >> Yeah, a Japanese TV or >> Japanese is like number one. >> Yeah, Japanese is is a one. >> It's Korean skin care product. >> Or like leather, leather from Italy.

I think that's unbeatable. >> Yeah. >> Best lady boys for sure. That's like going to Turkey for like hair transplants and and veneers. >> Yeah, the best. >> Asians are known for the best lady boys.
0:51 >> There's some other things like that where it's like this country, this product. >> like Chinese with scams. >> [laughter] >> Is this true or if you go to a Chinese market, you'll see like a box this big with candy and then there's like a little window where you can see the candy, there's one candy and you assume there's what, 20 candies in it? You open it, it's just the one candy. >> Oh, [laughter] what? >> That's hilarious. >> Yeah, the window of the candy you saw, that's the only candy that's in there. >> That's ████ crazy. >> Holy ████ >> mean, they did level up the game by having those Chinese uh scam centers. You know, those things that are basically like Google campus sized scam centers and they kidnap people and force them to work in them. That's a freaking new level. And now they're doing it in other countries that aren't even China. >> Yeah, a lot of countries are biting off the Chinese scams. >> I think I like Chinese scams better than, you know, like the better than the
1:42 African and Indian ones. >> more honest, no? >> You get something out of it and you go, ah. Well, that was my fault. >> Well, they feel more advanced rather than like I'm a prince. Give me money. >> Yeah, and I think they've evolved it so much that now it's almost like a legal scam because they're not like kidnapping people or doing whatever. Now they're just doing replicas of stuff. >> like a test of the consumer's intelligence. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, like that was like, "Oh, we'll just make an LV bag. We'll make an LV bag for a quarter of the price. You want to buy it?" >> You know what a Chinese scam feels like? >> It's like I'm willingly buying a counterfeit. >> That's a Chinese scam. >> Yes. >> Cuz it's like I know it's cheaper. >> Not a scam. >> fake. >> Yeah. >> But you know what? I'm down. Versus like maybe uh I don't know, like a real like Russian scam is like, "Here's a Rolex." And then
2:33 you buy it for full price and you're like, "Hey, wait a minute. That's ████ fake." See that? That doesn't feel right. >> it explodes. [laughter] >> Yeah. >> That's what you're saying, right? >> wrist, you know? >> What's the best thing when you think Korean? Like what do Koreans make? >> Hair products. Skin care. I think they're crushing it with skin >> So Korean skin care. >> I like their movies right now and TV shows. I think when it comes to Asian >> Quality Asian cinema. >> Yeah, like story, TV, they're really doing a good job. >> all those categories dial down to subjective preference. I think once we talk about Korean skin care, all the women are like >> unanimous. >> Yeah, that's true. >> That's just undeniable objective science. >> Right, right, right, right. >> I think it's that. >> They put a lot of money and research and time into having the best like skin care stuff, right? >> Yeah, they they do a really good job with it. >> And Korean uh plastic surgery as well?
3:25 >> Oh, yeah. People will travel far and wide to get plastic surgery. >> For the quality, not like how people go to Turkey cuz it's cheap. >> I thought Thailand was a big one, too. >> For plastic surgery? >> Not necessarily plastic surgery, but for like really good quality but luxurious medical experience. So they have You seen their luxury medical like tourism? >> Thailand? >> Yeah, Thailand. So I think it's also like a lot of Southeast Asia, a lot of people go there to get like some plastic surgery or medical treatments or whatever, but they have these luxury experiences. >> a spa. >> Yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> Like you go to the doctors, but then there's also like a steam room and a chill area and like water and like that's from like >> Your operations overlooking the lake? >> Yeah, it's like beautiful. Yeah, it's not like an American hospital where like it's like jail, you know? >> They give you a happy ending?
4:16 >> Yeah. >> Wow. >> [laughter] >> That's what I need. >> They ████ fix your meniscus and then give you a ████ >> Mhm. >> That's crazy. >> But it's Imagine it all that for like $100. >> $100? >> Cheap, that's why. >> Meniscus and a ████ >> [laughter] >> What's the split there? >> surgery for like $3, dude. It's ████ sick. >> I think that era is slowly going or quickly going away, I should say. >> Why? Because of all the visitors bumping up the prices? >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, because people would do that before and it would be like a the unspoken like slightly taboo thing, right? The idea of like, "Hey, I'm going to go go do this job, like go get this nose job, like keep it on the DL type stuff." But then when it becomes like a social media and socially acceptable or like this is the place influencers like top place to get your nose done and it's like so acceptable, then it just becomes
5:07 like the world knows what the rest of the world is paying for it or is willing to pay for it. So like even >> Oh, I see what you mean. >> your third world what was third world pricing is now like, "But we can at least go to like $5,000." >> Yeah, they're ████ it all up. >> Cuz even Vietnam, my dad just got some and I thought to myself like, "Oh, well, at least you got it hopefully for like cheaper." He says how much it is, I'm like, "Geez." >> You got the veneers in Vietnam? >> Yeah. >> Oh. >> Like there was still five five digits. >> Woah. For veneers? >> For the whole thing. I mean, it's a lot. It's it's still cheaper than America per tooth. >> Score out of 10 on how well they did though. How do you think? >> No, they did wonderfully. You know what's funny? You see a person every day type thing, you never think twice. Right? I was like, "What?" I see his teeth all
5:57 the time. Now I'm like, "God damn." And then I see photos of his teeth pre-veneers. >> And they were bad? >> Oh my god, I forgot it was it's ████ Gollum, dude. I didn't realize that. >> Oh. >> It's my father, you know? I'm just like, "Whatever. That's just like how it's been." >> And veneer price doesn't change by how Gollum you are, right? >> No, no, no, no. I don't think so. I think it's the same process. Cuz they got to shave it down to like a little skinny thing. >> Make the little shark teeth? >> And then yeah, and then they put it on. >> How I mean, if you go super Gollum, like you're missing full stuff, then yeah, but I don't know. >> I'm just saying, like, you know, I would have assumed it would have been a lot cheaper. Uh but it was just like I get it. Like you sh- would be able to If you know the whole world pays this premium, and then everybody outside of Vietnam is coming to you, then you're like, "Well, I'm sure you'll at least pay this." >> Which country makes the best guns? >> Here. >> Asian? >> Countries? >> In general.
6:47 >> Guns? >> How What's the country attached to best gun? >> Well, America and Germany, maybe? Or Austria? >> Probably America and and Germany, yeah. >> Better than Germany? >> Well, Austria, Glock is from Austria. CZ's from the Czech Republic, I think. >> It's depending on what exact gun you want. >> shoot- But most guns are American. Like or like the best quality. I mean, maybe I'm biased. >> Like when militaries of other countries are stocking up, they they would prefer to get American weaponry? >> It depends on the contract they have. So, like >> I think it's more based on the contract rather than the quality of the weapons. >> Oh, okay. >> In terms of like how many they can get at how much and and how fast. >> Yeah. >> I think it's the supplier. >> Sig beat out on like Glock like 3 years ago. >> Well, yeah, Sig used to be like a I think German-based company, but they're almost like a American company now.
7:37 >> Oh. >> Like if they're a huge company over here. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. They have a giant headquarters in New Hampshire. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Isn't it interesting that like America is so good at keeping Chinese cars a secret? >> Yeah. >> Yeah, cuz I'm seeing these YouTube reviews of like electric cars and all this ████ and I'm like why can't we have nice things? And they get it for so cheap. >> First thing I'm getting First thing I'm getting is a luxury minivan from China, dude. Have you seen those? No, I'm just saying if we could have Chinese cars Have you seen their vans? They're so sick. Dude, their regular taxi vans are they feel like Maybachs. They're just like lit up all up on the top. Automatic Each seat captain seat like has massage stuff features in it. It's like it's just so chill. >> But if like it bumps into another car
8:27 all the doors going to fly off? >> No, they feel they feel strong, man. They're or like they're they're large. You don't You don't go super fast on them because you have a driver, you know? >> But when you think about like the different eras of like Asia beating America in tech, right? So it was Japan and then like Korea and then now China's having their golden era. Every single era has made America seem more and more in the like Stone Ages. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. >> In Japan, they were already having mobile phone payments and all this stuff. And then when you go there like in the '90s, you're like, "What the ████ This is the future." And then you come back to the States, you're like, "I thought we were the number one." And then you go to like Korea when they were having I'm like, "They got ████ uh fiber optics and high Wi-Fi everywhere in the early 2000s." And I was like, "Dude, what What the ████ I
9:18 thought we had Silicon Valley. Like how come America sucks?" >> Even back when they just had maglev trains. >> Yeah. >> We'll never We'll never get those. >> We'll never get them. And now China China just looks like they're in the future. >> Yeah. >> And I'm just like, "Why can't" And the the thing is if we ever had tech like them, it would be unattainable. Like but for them, it's ████ affordable. Like, the average middle-class person can get it. And I'm like, that's crazy, bro. >> We have it. We have the tech. >> We do? >> We innovate most of it, too. >> Yeah, but it's not readily available in mass for the middle class. >> Yeah, yeah, it's gatekept. They They like implement the systems faster cuz it's all state-controlled. >> That's true. Yeah, you can't say yes or no to stuff. They just do it. >> Ours is more government corruption-controlled. >> I think they do create The US still creates a lot of things. It's just that
10:09 once it starts getting manufactured in China, they make it like more efficient, better, and a little bit faster. Like, the drones Have you see the that Italian drone? It's like a one-person drone that actually flies for like half an hour, goes 60 mph. It's like four four blades, so if one of them goes out, you're still good. >> Wow. >> And you don't need a pilot's license. >> Oh. >> That was like $130,000 when it came out, and now it's like a little bit higher. It's like 140. But if you buy the Chinese one, which is like They They just like modify three versions of it. They make the blades a little bit bigger, so it flies longer, battery's the same size, and then they throw out some of like the useless padding and ████ And you can buy that for like 30k. >> 30k? >> That's what China's good at. China's good at waiting for someone else to make the first move, and then they'll make it cheaper, faster, better. >> Their version upgraded, basically. >> Well, cuz it's nearly impossible to not
11:00 have that happen when you hire China as your manufacturer. The manufacturer themselves go, "Why are we ████ not making this ourselves?" >> Well, it's I think you You sign a contract or not They're not supposed to. >> You wait for the patent to go out. >> That's what the Chinese scam is. >> [laughter] >> Oh, don't read English. >> They probably know what they're getting into nowadays. It's It's probably more one of those like, "You got a 90-day head start." >> Yeah. >> Realistically, and then this is out This is open source, basically. >> Yeah, it's kind of like Did you hear what Amazon does to people that let's say that you made a product yeah if you made a say you thought of a barbell product and it did really really well you start selling it on Amazon once it passes a threshold of selling too well gets flagged in their system and they automatically say it's inauthentic so that you have to appeal and tell them who your manufacturer is in order to say
11:51 that it's the authentic product so now you sell out your source they take your source they manufacture your product against yours and they sell it for less than it cost to make just to take you out of business and then it becomes an Amazon basic and they the price goes back up >> it's Costco Kirkland it's it was Forever 21 when Forever 21 was doing their thing >> oh dude Forever 21 was worse but >> did some bad stuff to people >> like like it's it's the big dog taking a dump on the little dog and it's going to make sense because the regular little little dogs are like cool cheaper same product I'll take it >> you know cuz we're all guilty of that like I'll buy the cheaper thing >> sorry dude but like this is this is the way of the world you know >> yeah it sucks >> I mean I feel like so long as they're making it better it's not but I don't know how you get around it it's like impossible >> you give me 80% of the quality but at
12:41 20% of the price I'm good enough too >> that's true >> honestly I think it's the same quality cuz it's the same factory >> if it's in the same factory >> right
