0:00 [Music] an indian couple is suing their only son for over half a million dollars good oh for not giving them grandchildren half a million dollars what's what what are they are they saying that they put in half a million dollars in investing into him just to get a grandson i mean because they didn't get it i agree you're gonna see her you're gonna see tycho because they give you a kitty's just like i just want my kid to have a kid those are you with kids how do you feel about this i don't know like i got one kid so i only have one chance i guess you know how much you can assume for her and i would never i would never fathom like suing my kid for making a life decision that he wants to make on his own so if he if your son grew up and said i don't want to ever have kids it wouldn't affect you at all i mean i feel

0:51 i feel bad because i'd like to have like future generations of my name continue but i don't think i'd go to the extent up soon my kid yeah like my dad would be like oh you sure you don't want to have more kids do you want to have more kids because i told him i didn't tell him we're trying yet but we're going to try this here but he was like you sure don't have more kids it'd be nice to have wear more grandkids i'm a ████ you only had one you put pressure on me if you wanted to have more grandparents only got one chance i'm like if you wanted more kids you should have had more kids instead of ████ putting it on me and then he's like yeah did you see yourself when you were a kid yeah that's a lot of pressure you wouldn't mind if taika was like grew up and didn't want kids yeah that's up to him well he's going to be um a gay in cell i mean he's going to be a gay ancestor gonna be a gay incest boy you

1:41 need to elaborate i still don't know where this is that's it that's all we're gonna talk about that's your plans for him you're gonna keep him on track because he wants to get married to his cousin that's what he identifies with yeah so i'm missing some pieces of this equation boy cousin he wants to marry him so that's why that's his future husband yeah when you ask him who do you want to marry he says my cousins okay there's two dudes gotcha so that's what he wants at what point will you be like you by the way you can't do that it's it's funny though because when you are a kid you and you imagine i gotta spend my whole life with someone it is the people you have fun with most yeah yeah yeah yeah think about what you're gonna do like i'm not gonna do it with a girl right now and they'll get married and they're practically just roommates yeah it's all good my best friend is my cousin am i it's true

2:31 if you were asked that yeah so this family they um they raised him educated him only child by the way and they they spent a lot of money to put him through pilot school all this stuff this dude's a stud and um and then when they married him off i mean this is a different culture entirely but yeah they don't think that uh that the kid is supposed to not have a kid that's crazy in india too or is it here indian oh that's like for them it's like what do you mean you're not gonna have a kid that's weird yeah that's like that's like a human like necessity you have to have a kid but then i feel like times are changing though like in the developed world the birth rate has gone down significantly especially since kovid because everyone's like fearful of like what do i want to raise a kid into the global warming and a pandemic and like job instability kind of like thing and the developed world the birth rate is going

3:22 up because they need some more survivability of their of your blood so maybe like what we're finding is like more educated folks are are more fearful of raising kids they should be absolutely yeah i just want more vacations bro and i just know that when you got an infant around that's just not happening you're locked down for 18 years yeah when when was it when you realized oh we could go on vacations together now and i don't have to like worry too much about like i don't know like when you have a kid right you're just like okay there's like the first few years where you're just like crying all the time you're like man i can't even enjoy the ████ beach right now dude and then later it goes like i think we could travel i think probably like when vincent was like 12. but it wasn't actually until just this year when he turned 18 where i'm like i'm free really yeah so when he had his birthday party you

4:13 were also celebrating and we celebrated edc and i'm like i'm dancing out and i'm like i'm a free man now and he's like hey dad was there any actual like overnight change between him being 17 and 18 that was like a thing that you were like oh when you're 18 this will happen did anything like anything new occur like where i think it's just more of a psychological change okay so you weren't like now you got to move out no is he uh gonna commute to school or he's gonna go or whatever so he graduated high school last spring okay and then he he actually he didn't want to go the four-year route like his friends did and he took a a course up in socal to learn how to fabricate with carbon fiber oh hell yeah that's nice he just started working for spacex a couple weeks ago oh no way making rockets yeah but now for him

5:03 that's super dude so probably you must be so proud but like as a parent now it's like it went from a perspective of like i would hang up my son all the time we go work out because i work from home we go out for lunch go for dinner go hang out and stuff like that and now i only see him between the hours of 12 and two in the afternoon because his work shift is from 3 p.m until 2 a.m oh that's got a graveyard that's an interesting work shift that's so funny so then now he's the he's like the nine well not nine to five but he's got that like gap of like work where he's like disappeared comes over dad give me a beer it's like i tell my friends like i got a roommate now that's cool sick that you could just be like hey son can you make me a splitter and a body kit for my porsche oh yeah when are you going to start i'm going to start calling in those favors i just started calling it all his favorites he like snuck home something maybe top

5:53 secret he snuck up some like scrap carbon fiber from the present i was like you might not want to say that you snuck home like top secret one of elon's rockets is missing a fin as it's going up like what happened to the fin i was like did you see eric sports with the ████ hair and she goes fast though dude it's portions of space sex on it you say no i made this myself meanwhile the rocket's just twirling around in the ████ all of our calculations we're correct who stole the fish that's good all of our calculations are correct and then the rockets like turns and you see the fin missing and they're just like why it's the new kid again again you got multiple chances of multiple stolen fans that's so tiny

6:45 i feel like i like i really like kids like playing with my friends kids and like it's always awesome but then my own i don't know man it's it's just what do you mean having your own i mean you've had kids you know what i'm talking about we're like the same age it's like come on dude i see them and the ████ they gotta do i'm just like oh dude i can't wait to have kids to give away to people i don't think that's what you strive for like a wedding gift congratulations i birthed you it's like a it's like a takeaway thing in the centerpiece of the table you're just a child back in 18 years okay watching like ████ this uh show versailles right and um out there like there's no kids in the court so once a baby like they pop out a baby like

7:36 that's it like ████ the the princess and the princes they just get sent away and then other people take care of that ████ and then they come back later on you don't even recognize your own kids and ████ yeah that's how you want it that's the jomalian way kinda [Laughter] yeah it doesn't sound too bad you know yeah that's pretty interesting it is right and then you have no emotional connection to them eventually you know when it comes to their turn to reign that's why they can easily kill you but i i'm i'm down with the praying mantis ████ you're not really selling this very well you don't want to build a vengeance with your kids i think this only applies to joe i'm like that's very joe's style it is yeah it's pretty cool it's his own seed to kill him and take the throne i give you life weird now let me go enjoy the world like his son stabs him in the back and he's like ah that makes sense

8:27 so there's this classic book the homer's odyssey right oh yeah odysseus so a disuse was raised and he didn't know who his father was or his mother because they're raised by the court he ended up falling in love with his mother he didn't know it was his mom no i deal with his mom he became a ████ you know yeah true story right joe is going to create the next odysseus that's kind of fire dude i think that'll be pretty interesting to see how it turns out your kids are just science experiments i think so so here's another here's another little factoid with this family that might make you think differently they also paid for the son's wedding bought a car for the son when he got married so they did a lot of things that uh did he ask well i guess traditionally they are supposed to do that too in that culture so it's like i supposed to have kids because of that so he because in i guess

9:19 i mean not in all indian culture but in this particular case you are marrying off your kid it's not like uh hey my kid decided to get married it's like they still do that stuff it's the investment exactly yeah i guess if it's like all right like it was all clear and there's an expectation so every single step leading up to accumulation of 500 grand i guess so yeah because what if he from the jump said uh mom dad i don't want any kids ever like no pilots yeah no wedding yeah yeah yeah but i wonder if this whole time he was telling he was telling them like i don't want kids they're like well what if you know what if you get married you know what about now he's like i still don't want him yeah were you ████ up all he had to say was my balls don't work no they would they wouldn't yeah they would go put them through a test yeah like if they're gonna sue their kid they would be like all right well we're gonna

10:09 go to a clinic right now and double check that they would pay for like a surprise come analyst to just burst in the room gotcha come with this cup like they do for olympians with pp [Laughter] i'd love to see that business card here the common analyst [Laughter] [Music] i'll be taking this traditional families that want to sue their children i wonder if your tastes come like a cop does like this
