0:01 [laughter] more of this ████ ████ >> again. This one's wearing Chucks and Lok. >> A monk wearing Chucks and Lok, dude. >> Welcome back to Careful Boys. Today, Bart's not talking to his mom anymore. >> Yay. >> Hold it. Hold your yays. >> No. So, as you guys know, I am trying to work on my relationship with my mom. >> Yeah. >> And I try really, really ████ hard. Um, but as you guys know, my mom's a warlock. >> So, it's really hard to like be on the same page, find common ground, relate even. And my whole life, my relationship with her has always been this one-sided confusion say, Confucious say, Confucious say. You're just like, D, you don't know ████ ████ about me or anything, right? [snorts] I'm like, all right, I really want grandma to be in Taika's life. So, I try to communicate
0:53 with her, but I feel like I've lost hope. Because um my mom sent me this, right? Watch this ████ ████ >> You could put it on. No, >> that's AI, dog. So, it's a monk walking on water. >> That's just ████ AI. She sends that to me, right? She thinks it's real. >> And she goes, "His water kung fu is hella good." >> Oh my. >> She says, "Hella." >> I know what she's trying to express. And then I go, "You like fake s███?" And then she goes, "No, it's real." And and I'm like, "This is AI." >> She's arguing that it's real. >> Yeah. And I go, "This is AI as f███." And then she's like, "Oh my god, AI? That's so ████ scary." >> And then I was like, "Don't be so easily fooled by people."
1:43 >> Yeah. >> And then she goes, "Well, you know, this type of kung fu back in the day, grandma and grandpa used to tell me about it all the time. It's just so cool that we can all see it in real life now." I write impossible. >> What? >> So, I'm still trying to entertain this thing, right? Meanwhile, >> saying impossible is not entertaining it. >> Well, I'm I'm entertaining the I didn't show I didn't hang up on her. Got it. >> But you said impossible. >> I'm still going back and forth with her. >> Got it. I'm just trying to understand. >> So me So meanwhile, while I'm doing this, I put the phone down cuz I'm like I could already catch myself like >> getting pissed. >> ████ well getting pissed and also ████ up. I'm like, if I really want this relationship to work, >> I can't use the method. I can't treat it like a normal relationship where if someone tells me something I disagree with, I can give my opinions and through the through the discourse, we have a
2:34 better understanding. That's how normal people build relationships. But my mom, because she's on a different ████ planet, >> Yeah. >> we're not even speaking the same >> phys physical realm. [laughter] She thinks people can ████ levitate and ████ and like so it's just like >> she thinks Crouching Tiger is a documentary. >> ████ I'm like, "Babe, I think I'm ████ up." I'm like, instead of pulling me and my mom together, I think I'm inserting a wedge. >> I'm like, "What should I do?" When she sends me ████ >> You can't just take it. I You can't just take it. >> It's hard, right? So, I go like, "What should I do?" >> You should ask your dad for advice. >> How? >> Sorry, that was that was a really poor take. >> Damn, dude. >> So, I use I I showed Gio that video. I'm like, "What would you have done?" No, you you you knowing my mission. I want to build a sincere relationship with my mom. >> She goes, "Oh, easy." When you see the video, go, "Oh, that's nice. What are you doing today?"
3:24 >> And I'm like, "What the f███?" >> No, that's ignoring her, bro. >> Well, it's it immediately corrects the course of the conversation to build connection. >> Oh, yeah. >> Cuz then my mom like, "Oh, you know what? I went to the park and then we could talk about the park and we can actually have an hourong conversation actually doing the thing." >> That's actually good advice. instead of talking about not doing the thing. >> There's a better way surely than like discounting what she sent you though. >> Well, how I mean that that would be within seconds we're we're on the right track. >> Never change. We'll >> never change. >> You just have to get it out of the way. >> Or else I spend my whole relationship setting boundaries and there's just boundaries all over the place and we literally can never reach each other. >> I would feel like a better son if she died thinking that was AI. >> Yeah. >> But if you spend that time talking about other ████ you will, >> oh, cool. She went to the bakery or whatever. just being a better son, just like talking to her about other stuff. Yeah. >> She continues. I was like, "Ah, f███."
4:14 So, she continues, "Chinese old school kung fu was like this." And then I was like I was like, "Okay, I believe it, but it's impossible to prove and there's no evidence. >> This is a worthless argument. Truly." >> Yeah. Then she sends me some ████ I placed my child in your hands ████ lullaby ████ and I'm like, "Okay." I don't know. I just didn't even know how to respond so I ignored it. >> Is it a video? It's like Love Graphics. >> We'll watch it together. Actually, I never even watched it. >> Make it landscape. We don't even know what's happening. >> Yeah. What's landscape? Landscape. >> Like and subscribe. The >> What the ████ is happening? It's a It's a love song to the parents. It's a It's ████ It's just like, >> wait, what if you just watch the whole thing and you feel something? >> I don't. I've tried it. I've tried it
5:05 since I was four. I tried it since I was four. How about that? >> Okay. Hive mind. [laughter] How do you get that? >> Wait, so she Why is she send that to you? Just what what's the relationship? Is you guys send memes to each other? Like >> No, it's not like the relationship is she's trying to always influence his brain. >> Yeah. She's just trying to be like, look at how nice this this song is to a mother from a son. >> Why can't you be like that? >> It's It's suggestive. >> I get the relationship totally. And >> we're two I think >> that's her trying her best to also reach me. >> But we're two ████ what are those fish called? Tetras or whatever. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> We're two bettas in a glass thing ████ never being able to touch each other. >> Fighting fishes. >> But at least I'm on planet Earth. I don't know where the ████ she's at. Then she sends me this ████ ████
5:55 >> More [clears throat and laughter] of this ████ ████ again. This was wearing Chucks and Lok. >> A monk wearing Chucks and Lok. Dude, >> you don't feel like this is like the appropriate moment to start sending her some AI thing that you think is going to just fool him. >> By the way, can I just say real quick when Jesus comes back, he's screwed because we're all going to be like, "Oh, AI." >> So here she goes, "Look." And I'm like, "You like AI videos?" And then she was like, "You know, when I was little, mom and dad used to tell me about stuff like this all the time." Then I told her, um, you >> I did a crazy like chat GPD translate thing, but long story short, I was telling her like, you got to be really careful this AI stuff cuz one second you believe this, another second they're going to have a fake presidential assassination video like in Taiwan or some ████ and you're going to believe what the hell is going on. >> You thought about illustrating the
6:45 absurdity by being absurd, like taking a picture of your mom and then making her run across a lake. >> I was going to do one of myself. >> Yeah. >> And I asked Grock, "Can you make me a video of me walking across water?" But it said it can't generate an AI video. I'm like, what the hell? >> Anthony can help you. >> That's probably Sora. >> Sora. Sora will do it. >> I can also do it with Grock, I'm sure. >> This episode is brought to you by Lucy. It's 100% pure nicotine, tobaccof free.

And then um I go I was like, you know, I actually have a friend, our mutual friend, Kung Fu Phillip, who lived in the Shaolin ████ temples and ████ >> Kung Fu Phillip that I'm like, they can't do ████ like that. I'm really trying to like find a way to level with her. And then you know what she says? She goes, that's because that's the front of the temple ████ The back of the temple ████ where they're flying around. They're not going to show you these things. >> Bro, you should go crazy with this cuz you can use Anthony. You can use Sora and ████ You you No, you could be like you could be like, "Hey, mom, look. Dad's back." And then and then and then you and then you're like, "Oh, and by the way, we're closer than ever." And you lean over, you start kissing your dad on the mouth [laughter] and you're like, "Oh, look. Me and dad decided to run across water together cuz we accept God." You know what's crazy? My mom's on such a crazy planet. When I
9:18 do that, I think instead of having the desired effect, it would be like, "We're a warlock, too." >> Oh my god, dude. Yeah. I didn't. I did. Yeah. I knew you could tell the future since you were born. There's something special about you. I knew you could tell the future. >> Oh, man. >> So, yeah. >> That's rough. >> And Yeah. She's telling me like, "Oh, the front of the temple ████ They just make money. The true warriors in the back of the temple." >> You see, you see what it is though? Why Gio was right? The more that you talk about it, the deeper it'll go and she'll say something that makes you even more mad. >> So, you would have saved yourself the trouble of knowing she the whole back of the temple thing if you change the subject. >> I get it now. I get why Gio said that >> the last video she sent me was this and I just have to It's all AI. [laughter] >> I just have to ignore it. This was walking up a wall. >> She's like, "Aha, this one's real."
10:11 >> So she thinks that [laughter] >> So she thinks this stuff has been happening since before she was born and they have enough cameras now to capture all of it. >> Yeah. >> Is like how she logically maybe is going through the >> But dude, that's that's just scratching. If she was a white lady, she would have just been an alien lover. But unfortunately, this is, you know, that for for Chinese. >> What's ████ crazy is, uh, just two weeks ago, me and my cousin, um, we we bonded over something cuz he was out in Seattle. He came out to Vegas just to hang out. And, uh, one of my mom's homies, she's this lady that can pull medicine out of thin air. And I've seen it happen before, but I've also seen magician shows, so there's a very physical and logical reason of how things can happen. So, she might just know optical illusions, right? >> Slight of hand. >> She was so Yeah, she was so convinced that this lady has special powers and my
11:02 mom's little sister is pretty connected in Taiwan. Uh they got a like convention together uh to show that this this lady's powers are real. >> Uh-huh. >> And there's cameras, all the news were there and all that stuff. >> Wow. Under those circumstances, of course, she couldn't perform all of a sudden, right? >> Some James Randy stuff. >> So, she ends >> she ends up getting ████ like locked up for like 30 days or 60 or whatever the ████ >> What do you mean? Like >> what the the the the >> by the law? Yeah, because like she's like doing fraud or whatever, right? >> Oh, yeah. >> But my mom is so ████ cuckoo that she just goes, "Of course it couldn't happen." Like people don't practice these things when there's cameras around. So, she's still on that lady's side. And that is the lady that
11:53 >> she wants to believe. >> Came and set my dad free when the whole dad ████ happened. >> And so, till this day, my mom is still on her side. And me and my cousin, we like had like a bonding moment. Like, aren't our ████ parents crazy? They're like, "Yeah, dude. They're ████ crazy on another planet." >> Send your mom video of David Copperfield making the Statue of Liberty disappear. [laughter] >> What does she think Lance Burton is? And to her point though, like she's seeing these videos that are AI now that are AI representations of things that she's been seeing the whole time in movies. >> Proof for her. Yeah. >> Or seeing with her friends that do slide of hand. >> It's confirmation bias. >> Yeah. But that's that's different than like randomly new generated content that like maybe we've never seen before. But like for decades, Chinese movies and theaters have been doing that. >> Yeah. So now she's just seeing the AI version of something that's a different
12:44 presentation because for that she suspends disbelief goes to a movie theater expects it to be fake but >> which even in that is a representation of something that she believes was a truth. >> That's it. So even at that point, the movie theater is a reflection of things that actually happen in ancient China. >> That man comes from because like I think you know most of us would probably just troll the ████ out of our moms and then just be like whatever and then move on and then like but then like clearly like it gets you riled up because >> instantly. >> Yeah. Right. So there's something might you might be like you know there might be something there as to why it pisses you off so hard. >> That would piss me off too though. It is. But there's a point in life where you just accept like your parents are crazy in a certain way and then you just got to like >> I think what I think what pisses me off is is a couple of things. One is uh
13:36 she's never understood me my whole life and she still doesn't >> and still trying to influence you >> cuz she'll like ever since I was a kid she'll bring over like oh your favorite ████ pineapple cakes. I'm like ████ I never ████ said I like those. You like those. You know, it's like that kind of ████ where till this day it's she still has a image of me of who her ideal son is. I'm not that and she keeps feeding this >> and or keeps either feeding this or going, "How come you're not like this?" >> So, there's that part that irks me and then there's another part where she wants to be in my life more. And I'm like, "Well, the only way to be in my life more is if we make it a two-way relationship, and she still doesn't make it a two-way relationship." >> Do you think your mom's a narcissist? >> Honestly, I think so. >> I think she is. >> Kind of what I'm vibing. I >> I think so. And I think I mean to make it real but also kind of funny that's I think he she probably drove my dad to do what he did
14:28 because it's hard being in a relationship I think like if my dad's trying to go back and rekindle ████ right it's hard to be in a relationship with a wall and then the wall is closing in on you. >> Yeah. >> Cuz like she doesn't give you anything you want back. >> Mhm. >> She's just giving you what she wants. So I remember when my dad was still alive like like u >> he was last ditching it. He was like, "I want you back." Right. With >> Yeah. And I was already warning my dad. I'm like, "You know how mom is, right?" "No, it's okay. I'll make it work." And then I remember like a weekend like, "Man, this ████ got me going to the park doing ████ push-ups and walking around." And then and we got to go to the temple after. Then she forced me to get vegetarian lunch. I'm like, "I ████ told you that's how mom is." Like, she's going to put you on some regiment that she thinks what an ideal person is supposed to do. >> Do you want Do you want to send your your mom this video of you walking on water? >> ████ yeah. Let me see. Is it Bart? Dude,
15:20 >> he's the guy. >> So, this is going to be complete opposite of what Gio recommends, but it's going to make me feel good. >> Yeah, this is going to feel good. This is what petty boys do. >> ████ yeah. >> That's you. [laughter] >> ████ yeah. >> All right, let's put it on Steve's computer and play it on the TV. >> Tell Can you have him uh You're responsible. She gets sent over the edge over this stuff. How hard is it though to make two or three adjustments? What's the adjustment? So, one, I need Lok on. [laughter] >> Two, after I do that, I want A CROWD GOING, "YAY!" Cuz that's what >> Oh, yeah. Cuz that makes her believe the atmosphere. People are watching. >> Yeah. Cuz I don't want her to go, "Oh, that's just Grock, man." [laughter] >> She's like, "What is that? Open AI." >> Yeah. What's that? Open. Yeah. >> That's just Grock, [laughter] man. >> If Grock doesn't know what Lok is,
16:11 what's the specific way to >> glasses? Wait, don't don't cut it cuz we're we we should actually do we should actually show this. >> Show what >> for the fans. >> How fast does it make make the theme? >> You mean send it to his mom? >> All right. You ready for this one? >> Do the reaction. >> You ready for this? >> That's it. That's it. >> That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. >> That's what I'm talking about. This will make me so ████ happy. Oh, hell. He puts it on. >> Oh ████ >> That's what I'm talking about. [laughter] ████ yeah. >> That's sick, dude. That's dude. I'mma send you water. >> By the way, I did the >> be petty out there. Be petty, kids. >> I did the Google imaging. I I Googled his photo and I took it put in Google Gemini and like turned this man into a monk standing on water. And then I took that photo and put into Grock. Create video. >> Listen, we tried the Geo way. Hey. Yeah,
17:02 but what about what's going on in your life? Cool. What's going on in your life? Semi off. >> This is about being petty.
