0:00 if you're so good at impersonating or or doing a bit off of some Korean or Korean accent that people don't even know if you're Korean or not yeah you did your research you know what I mean you can't even be [Music] offended welcome back to another highly important episode of careful boys today we are lucky enough to have with us Mr dumfound oh wow oh wow thanks for having me guys was the last time you were here I was here I want to say 5 years maybe pre pandemic damn what do you think it's got to be prepandemic it was pre- pandemic right Dam yeah for sure 5 years dude it feels like a long time since you've been here but then I think social media also moves fast so it also feels like not that long
0:50 but long ago yeah yeah no I I I don't know it's hard to gauge the time during the pandemic years but last time I was here yeah it was um I mean still dudes you know you're here there still a gang of dudes surrounded nothing really changed yeah I feel like 2020 to 2023 felt the same one year it was all just one year for you one year for me that's true cuz it kept getting one uped and then like you're like oh can't get crazier then they ████ like invade Ukraine and ████ and then they like dude it can't get crazier and I think it's still getting crazy after yeah is it pretty crazy right now 2024 is prettyy crazy too it's pretty crazy and and it's an election year so it was tight like not having deadlines or not giv a about deadlines for a while like when all this
1:41 like started shutting down in my head I was like oh damn like this thing I got to put out this time like that doesn't even matter anymore you know cuz I would fantasize about those moments back in the day like I'd be like oh Dam if there was a post-apocalyptic that would be so they don't have to turn this thing in next week you know like I would think like it would just be so was small you know like to be honest the first like couple months of lockdown when like nobody really knew what was going on was honestly the sickest time I know I feel bad saying it was fun when was that when was that is that April or March March as soon as everything locked down like everybody yeah it it it was literally just like a school's out thing you know suddenly you have to stay at home with your homie or your partner or whatever and then it's like people are just picking up new skills and ████ or like bingeing everybody was watching Tiger King I was alone for 60 days at the time everybody was saying like a month 3
2:32 weeks tops and then it'll blow over and then that's when we were like oh ████ this is like really this is really happening the only thing I didn't like was like getting groceries delivered and needing to ████ wipe ████ down and stuff like that or whatever you know I didn't wipe nothing down I just went dive right into the groceries when did you when did you start uh fun with Dum your podcast it's been about 5 years now oh okay it's been a long time I mean I just really just did it for fun I didn't get any business thing get together I just like putting stuff out or talking you know like I feel like podcasts are pretty easy like it's like the easiest form of things content it honestly is I mean I mean obviously you know you require all this camera work editing all those things you do need a team but far as as a creative doing a podcast is like one of the most entrylevel creative things you can it
3:23 feels like it feels like right in your wheelhouse too cuz you're like verbally gifted I it's just like know I just it's like the older you get is funner to do a podcast cuz you don't you like complaining about stuff old Asian man yeah exactly an old Asian man could have done podcasting years ago oh yeah dude they would have killed it we're on our way to being that I mean we are that yeah but uh we're just waiting it out you ever done a full podcast where the whole thing is rhyming no would that be a crazy no cuz I'm going to feel like I'm Lin Manuel like I got it's a Hamilton podcast like no but you were on that hella early cuz cuz I even remember outside of the YouTube Center one time doing the like hot box in your car oh yeah that's like one of the original podcast I mean that was more like an interview series but I think like doing something out of the car I was really early on cuz you saw a
4:14 lot of people doing like Seinfeld doing Comedians and Cars Getting Coffee you had uh James Cordon the karaoke thing you know but that was like before both of those you know what I mean Ian if you guys find another car interview show before mine let me know but my thing was early might be the first they wer hot boxing that was fun yeah yeah I mean that's probably safer you know that's why I couldn't get no brand deals now we're not going to endorse this you guys are just doing drugs in the car so going back when was the first time that you three met Joe and Bart and dumb when did you guys first me God damn long time dude now you're like asking me questions on the test that I wasn't prepared for I think it might have been through wax it was through wax and then I I could have sworn it was on at a show or something like that that and then we went to a wack show or something it must have been almost almost 15 years I would
5:05 say that we've met oh the rapper he well I met him online cuz someone else introduced me online first was it Danny might have been even I remember watching his stuff before yeah cuz I remember someone going yo look at this guy's ████ killing it at all the battle raps everybody was watching your and then Korean History Channel was like like that was my favorite ████ oh you actually liked it I loved it bro I love because I what size are you you got to cosign you got to cosign dude no I I cosigned the show because it's like if if you're so good at impersonating or or doing a bit off of some Korean ████ or Korean accent that people don't even know if you're Korean or not yeah you did your research you know what I mean you can't even be offended you can't be
5:55 offended that was like you know like you know L Sherry I mean Sherry col yeah remember Lil tasty do you remember the character that she did mhm she did the character on where she did the sketch where she wor like a Laker jersey I don't remember but she killed on everything she does yeah she did this character called Lil tasty and it was really funny these bits that she would do and I thought that was her so when I like like said like let's link up let's meet and she came and she was just like herself like a regular person I was thrown off cuz that's how good she played the bit you know what I'm saying I think when I saw Korean History Channel it was the same thing where I was like I can't tell what ethnic background these fools are and I know you guys did that ████ forever for where you guys wouldn't reveal that ████ for and that was so frustrating cuz I I would get to know y'all and I would still like try to guess every time I meet you guys up um but that's how good
6:46 that bit was man I still think you guys have some of the best Korean aosi impersonation of all time and I'm talking that over Bobby Margaret Cho you know like some greats thank you you know what I mean I I for real it came from hours of being lectured by aushi you we would go to our buddy's house and their uncles or whatever just be like you know Japanese is a so bad and I'm like I'm Japanese American I don't know he's still responsible but he they don't just get wasted and I'm just like ████ dude all right I'm sorry the best part about how you guys play it up is that stuff where you guys talk like talk ████ about other Asian cultures is the best part of that that impression you there's accuracy with that hura
7:36 number one like that's that's the best part of that ████ you know there was a uh a sketch that you did with Joe back in the day where he's trying to get you to wear a shirt oh yeah that was so how did that even start like that was Bart's idea I was like but like how did you pitch that to him and how did you agree to do that I think I barely wanted to do it to be honest Bart thought it would be Hil Bart is like the ultimate troll dude he thought it was okay I remember spe specifically cuz I was like this sounds crazy but if we could do this I'm dying in tears if we can and he's all like what we got to do is we got to come out with merch cuz we got to find a way to pay for these kids so we had all these different merch ideas right like we I mean we still do today we got to pay for these ████
8:26 videos and then um he had still never figured it out to come up with a Korea number one t-shirt yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and then the soccer game was coming up oh so remember when they were doing that out here and then they did the whole pting thing and all that so we're like what this would be sick if we could like ████ sell this and then like we could support you know the home team well not home team but we know La is going to represent for Korea right yeah yeah yeah especially K Town right I felt like it was one of those things like like Mexico was going for Mexico but all of Asian America was going for like Korea so to line that up we wanted to do um like we just wanted to get all of our friends who were Korean and force them to have the shirt on that's very specific target market non Koreans were
9:18 just banking off of the Koreans to make money so when that was on paper if it was ever on paper the idea so for those of you who they were probably on paper we wrote all our so what was it like cuz I know like in the video it's Joe is like some Outreach like Korean Pride activist and he's trying to get random Koreans to put that shirt on I'm mad because the kids today are as like they not down for it the way that I am that's that was the like down for the culture yeah yeah cuz like you know how like old people always think that the younger ones don't have the pride like in all Asian Cult of course of course so that's just kind of the same play of like you're not not as into it as like like where's your pride wait could I ask you guys something about the Korean History Channel thing uh like first it originally was
10:09 presented as like some kind of news show right but where did the news part come into play you know like how did why was it presented in that way where it yeah why do we call it that I think cuz we were like journalists you need we used to copy remember um was it like from like a TV like seeing channel 18 or it was it was it was yeah yeah it was it was like a public access like news show or something yes so funny and it's like we got to give you guys the updates cuz you guys don't know what's going on so we wanted to use that as a way to like lecture the public I I think that was I think that's why I loved it because you got cuz I grew up on Korean news you know like my parents would always have it on you'd have the the city in the back of you know I used to hate the Korean news news
11:00 I come home I want want to watch cartoons my my parents have Korean news on I'm like this ████ is the most Bor it's like way more boring than regular news it's like dude the fact that you guys filmed that one episode in a Vietnamese News channel is even better yeah our buddy was uh working for some local Vietnamese like station and OC and then he goes man we can make this professional and when we walked into the studio the funny ████ is it looks janky as hell but when I walked in I was like we're in a real ████ movie studio we're in the big time like we made it you know that people had like cameras on tripods and a ████ soundboard and we're like this is this is this is sick for 2008 or 9 or that's was that was crazy though to have a set like that is pretty cool to even like have someone put a lav on you you're like oh ████ hey
11:52 shout outs to my mom shout outs they're like the vietamese Vietnamese production crew were they like what the the ████ is going on I don't even think we were like allowed to like film there oh okay that's all the down bro it was like a weekend there was a Vietnamese protest outside we just came in and then we just started just shooting no one was in there cuz everyone's like 60 right they're like old school like like TV production and then there was just a young like 28-year-old like assistant director PA yeah so he would just bring in like I think they probably thought they're his friends or whatever they didn't know what we were doing but they were just cool with it they're like oh yeah just go do whatever dude enemies people are the ████ so ████ funny and the Korean dinosaurs or whatever you guys talking about that ████ was so funny damn I
12:43 don't know where the ████ all those ideas came from but it it's almost like I forgot and then like when you bring it up and we we recently saw the videos to promote the new shirt I was like oh ████ that's crazy we did that that was my favorite ████ from y'all still I think it's just so something about it like it's so overthe toop like Mad TV territory you know like it's just so good I feel like those characters were more believable than the uncle characters yeah cuz those guys those guys are wild as ████ look at that they don't even exist in real life that's a joke yeah you know that's a joke yeah you know that's a joke yeah these characters was something else and plus you were you were pretty good straight man as this character too like you weren't as wild so it was like this guy might actually be Korean oh and the hair was so believable too yeah it was just so yeah the hair is pretty believable
13:34 man so funny so funny what's crazy is we were trying to be aishi in that video we're aishi now though you know what I mean like we're trying to be 40 in that video we're 40 now which is ████ crazy I used to in my songs and battle raps used to make fun of the opponent for pushing 40 I'm like you're pushing 40 and now I'm pushing 40 I used to have it in my lyrics you know like I'm like I'm smoking Blunts and drinking 40s while you're pushing 40 now I'm pushing 40 it's like it's so funny thinking about so crazy did you guys ever have any other sketches that you wanted to pitch to him but you were like he's not going to do it D was always down yeah he was anything I think there was one that invol every time it involved rap and stuff like that I remember we did the
14:24 characters while you were promoting the uh uh mixtape did with wax and I remember when we were um interviewing you we had to keep like redoing the take cuz you guys kept laughing yeah yeah and we're just like just stop laughing and we had the giggles for like five minutes straight yeah I think I asked I hit you guys up about that I I asked you guys if you guys would do this thing for a promo thing where they would interview our little collab project and ████ cuz it was so funny man I think during the early YouTube days there was like almost no one said no really cuz even though we did that making fun of suicide and then you were just down to be in it but people were just like oh let's do it like I just met these dudes too and I was like yeah sure I don't even what was that about like everyone took pills to die together or something the way that you guys wrote it it was like a sketch
15:14 where uh you take this pill if you want to like kill kill yourself and you just get really happy and you just die that's how you explain it to me when I got there no prep yeah we're just going to they like all right take this pill and then just like laugh like crazy and then just die you know's kind of tied about our process like me and Joe would have crazy ass ideas but then since we don't have we don't have the hard job of pitching it you know we write it and then we have our like table read whatever and the rig will go produce it she has to go and explain it to people which is kind of cool yeah I don't know how I would pitch that to make people want to do stuff like that it was fun because it was like me Steve and then um arica sat just and all three of us are like all right ████ it and then I think after that you guys are
16:04 like oh people got kind of mad about that sketch oh yeah what what are some of the moments that you guys almost got fullon cancelled like was that moment that people you said people got mad I think there was a there's quite a bit one of them that I was like this one there was this one that I was like what the ████ this was crazy I didn't see this one coming remember we did the music video for the name brand shirt yeah yeah so I had this character called Reckless necklace and I think everyone just hated his voice yeah yeah and then it was just all like ████ ████ this guy's voice it was just and we have to I think we have to take it down because the voice was so bad his voice what what was his voice like the voice do the voice he sounded like a pimp I think he was like like he laughed like dude yeah bro they were I was trying to make fun of all the all those
16:54 rappers that would laugh after everything they would say so they would like say a bar you're like OG l i I honestly think some people get more cancelled just when they're not likable you know it's not just content they put out but like some people just may look cancelable you know like that guy looks like he jacks off in public you know like he just looks like it I'm just say Harvey Weinstein like before he did his ████ he looks like okay this dude did something wrong he looks like an ogre he looks guilty yeah he looks guilty it made him look like a fu what's it called an orc or whatever Lord of the Rings they made an orc after him I mean do you guys judge people by their attractiveness cuz I do absolutely yeah I'm like dude but no no not not not in a it's not like you judge their character by their attractiveness you just judge
17:44 their attractiveness because you it's a human condition can they get away with more though scientifically it's been proven but you can also judge attracting this by character where some people just have a charm you know what I mean that's true too yeah it works the other way they may not be a good photo but they're a nice video I've seen David touch more titties than any other dude in the world what David S what do you what does that mean because he's so like he's so he's so no he's so like brother he's so brother like he could just be like and then chicks don't even give a ████ chicks yeah he's friend zoned this is a this is a dangerous territory but I like it 2010 no Bart basically Bart is saying he's a non-threatening gay best friend oh okay so that's why he could be like
18:34 girl show me your boobs and I'll tell you if they're good or not does he say that that's a sweet move yeah to get on the words came out weird just say David's gay we're in the clear I I I seriously like I've been um watching a lot of these like upand cominging Chris Hanson type influencers oh yeah it's so good chranson they everywhere dude and there's like kids doing it too doing it yeah there's like 13-year-old boys like baiting themselves they think it's really fun yeah they bait themselves yeah but without fail every ████ pedo they're ugly as ████ dude they look like ugly creatures none of them look like handsome good men cancelable they have subhuman features they look like they just ████ like ████ CP keeper they look like Herbert from Family Guy they look like weird
19:25 dude that's like a whole content genre right like Dog Bounty Hunter thing Predator catchers yeah but then like also when you look at all the people getting caught for weird ████ you're like man you guys are ugly I think I think there's enough data to make a look yeah you can formulate a look like horribly groomed like weird like there's you don't know if they're 50 or 12 it's like you can see the smell yeah they poor vision they're always wearing glasses they always have really thick glasses there's also there's also a seral killer stereotype look which is why probably Ted mondy was so like unique you know mean like pedals don't clean themselves up for their dates you know they don't they don't look the best kep they haven't showered in six days they're like they not going to give a ████ well their ideal mate has low
20:16 standards too so a lot of oil in their hair oh jeez bar always with the victim blaming have you ever been close to being cancelled for any reason close to being cancelled besides I think maybe I said something about K-pop on Twitter and like oh the like the K-pop fan fandom just went after they're strong fandom man I mean I have a whole different stance on that too now like k-pop's not my favorite genre but I appreciate like the work that goes into it but then back then you I was a young underground rapper and I said something about the machine you know manufactured or something and then like think like the BTS fans and like the whole K-pop industry went crazy on me so I was getting like like a thousand tweets at me per like every 30 seconds or some ████ and at first I was like you know I feel like people know that now though even what you said back then it's it's not
21:07 false well I mean they don't want to hear it though I thinke the fans yeah because the whole idea of something that's very well put together like if there's a whole team behind it you want to make it look like it's effortless you know like in the industry like in the music industry right like there's manufactured artists not just K-pop but in just you know pop music but you want it to look like this person was just discovered off the ████ Corner busking at Santa Monica prom you know what I mean these eight perfect looking people yeah yeah yeah could happen to you it could happen to you right right yeah it's a dream come true they just work really hard that's the thing they're still all amazing but I think even from then to now everybody realizes that like ████ 100 more groups were manufactured you know what I mean every fandom believes that the one they love is the exception if you can see that like every fanom is like yeah there are
21:57 but ours weren't ours are the only the JK fans were not manufactured dumb found it you guys like his music he manufactured himself there's no K there's none of that imagine I have my mom and dad and everybody just working on my stuff just liking all your your mom was making the beats and ████ hold on hold on before we cut get in the description below Korean History Channel right now and then uh and just make a note that dound and cosigned the creation of
