0:00 All right, hot take. Asian guys don't get divorced. They just get roommates. If you fall out of love, you do not legally divorce. You stick together for the honor and saving face of your family and everything that you stand behind and you just die with something in your heart missing. Is that true or false? >> It's true. It's kind of true. Yeah. >> I think especially the older the generation cuz I've seen and heard this with my grandparents. And my grandparents ironically is uh like my I guess inspo for love and romance cuz by the time I was around and was more cognizant, I would see them like like arm in arm going down to the park looking at My parents are divorced, right? So like my I guess model of like what a marriage looks like it's already ████ But when I see my grandparents, I'm like, "Wow, that's so ████ cool."
0:50 They go and get soy milk in the morning and they walk around Taiwan and all that stuff. >> On mom's side? >> Mom's side. But then later on uh when my mom when my grandma got amnesia, that's when like all this stuff started coming out. So it was almost like a reverse Christopher Nolan Disney movie where it starts off all like happy and and fairy tale. And then my my grandma got amnesia and she would like come out the kitchen, "You never ████ me enough cuz you ████ cheated on me." And I'm like, "What the ████ is grandma saying?" >> [laughter] >> And then my mom Then my mom would start backfilling the story like Christopher Nolan style like, "Well, remember when grandpa used to work on the ships?" I'm like, "Yeah." So he would, you know, set sea, go to sea and then grandma would raise me and the siblings and then he had an affair and then he would come back months later and uh but he was
1:41 since he was still putting like money like bread on the table, like they they also wanted to keep things together and I'm like, "Oh, ████ That's ████ crazy." So I'm I'm kind of glad I got that version of the story where it's not like where you It's age appropriate. You know when you're a kid, I think fairy tales it's like it is age pro because then all the other stuff gets too complex. And then um yeah, he ended up coming back. They fixed their marriage and what my most of my memories is is them happily like married ever after. >> Well, maybe with that amnesia, that's like that's like what she's been holding on to is all right? >> Alzheimer's? >> Alzheimer's, yeah. >> Oh yeah, Alzheimer's. He said amnesia. >> Bro. >> [laughter] >> I was like I meant to mention I meant to mention. >> But he said amnesia. I was like how was that >> No, no, no. I meant [laughter] to mention. I'm so sorry. >> thinking about Pokémon. >> Oh, dementia. >> Okay. >> So sorry. Alzheimer's. She had Alzheimer's? >> Like a soap opera. >> All right, so when she got chickenpox >> What is amnesia though? We should look
2:32 that up actually. What's the difference? >> Before we say something stupid, I think you just don't remember actually. Like it doesn't come back. There's maybe short-term anyways. Jason Bourne. Short-term amnesia. >> That's not dementia? >> [laughter] >> Jason Bourne is dementia the whole time? Jason Bourne's dementia. He's like, wait, how many exits are there? ████ >> [laughter] >> How many steps to the door? >> He goes into a fugue state. >> Yeah, my I ████ up. I ████ up. >> He's sundowning, bro. That's what it is. That's how he's able to kick ass. >> Yeah, but then I saw them stick it together. >> Yeah. >> And I've seen this in many Asian American or maybe mainly Asian families where they do have a rough patch and I think they think like everything is temporary and they like either fall back in love or they work it out and then they they end up cool. >> Or is that just the exact classic
3:22 example of the like that Asian compromise? >> Yeah. >> For it, right? It's it's like the it's like you're seeing them arm in arm because she made a choice one day to be like, I'm just going to cut this entire [clears throat] part of my like heart out. Because we got to make this happen cuz we got kids. He's putting bread on You know, there's so many other variables that are like survival is more important than romantic like perfection. You know what I'm saying? So so it's like I just >> You know what I think the real >> Cut that out. You know what I think the real variable is? I think the the real variable Like I don't think divorce is good, but I do like that it's an option on the table because nowadays women ████ work, too. It wasn't when you're just a stay-at-home mom. Like of course you're
4:12 not going to get divorced. So, like you it's going to be so difficult. But nowadays it's like because you can separate and you still have a means of income. That's I think that's why most people are getting divorced now. >> That's why you like it, dude. Cuz if you get divorced, you're going to get hella paid out on her, dude. She's She's rolling in dough compared to you, bro. That's horrible to say. >> [laughter] >> Well, now I know why people don't like you, Anthony. >> You're a dark, sinister man, actually. >> [laughter] >> First of all, Omicron can't be saying that. Second of all, you're bringing outside stuff. >> [laughter] >> No, it's uh >> Not fair. >> No, that's true cuz just a few decades ago a lot of females couldn't even have a bank account. So, if your entire livelihood is on the man >> Dude. >> then it's like, "F███, how do you get divorced and start all over?" Right? Cuz even in Philippines like I think for a really long time
5:02 you can't get divorced. Like it's not even a You just There's no such thing. Yeah. >> There's not a guy that does that service yet. >> It's like I I can marry you more. >> As in when you get married, like that's it. That's the end. >> That's it. >> Until literal death do you part. >> Yeah. Well, I mean now I think you can get divorced, but like for a long time you couldn't. But then it's that same thing of like why would you if you are just like a wife that got plucked from obscurity and then you have no job, you have nothing, you have no way to like support yourself. Like >> Okay, this is a very ignorant question. Was like divorce like an American-created concept? >> I don't doubt separations between human beings had happened. >> America was the first to have it? >> No, I I know that obviously there's the whole like marriage annulment under the church. >> Like we made it popular, maybe. >> Yeah, for like royalty and stuff back then, you know, in castles and ████ they had to annul things legally in the eyes
5:52 of God in order to do some >> Well, cuz that's like Henry the VIII, right? He's like, "I'm going to start my own religion cuz Catholics don't believe in this ████ and I hate my ████ b████." >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, so they had to do something that So, I understand that. I'm just saying the concept >> I'll say this on the record, I hate my ████ ████ >> The the concept of divorce. [laughter] You know what I'm saying? It feels very American. >> Very western, very American, very maybe white-collar move. >> It could also start with the whole like us going to war, the whole industrialization, women now in the factories, and then it becoming like, "Wait a minute. Like we have more options and more choices and more independence. And if we're going to make it this whole equal thing, and if it's not working out, then yeah, let's let's divorce." >> Or isn't it true that like at least in the Asian culture, more of the time people are getting married logic first
6:42 and then hopefully romance at some point? >> Yeah, my my my grandparents were arranged marriage. >> Yeah. >> I guess like historically that's kind of like more I mean in America totally different lifestyle, but >> If you do arranged marriages, no such thing as divorce. >> Bro, yeah. >> That's it. >> Arranged divorce. >> All right, yeah, yeah, right. You wish, dude. >> That's why we have so many divorces. Everybody's out here looking for love, doing it the right way, and all that stuff. >> Arranged marriages might be where it's at. Might be making a comeback. >> we also This is going to ████ sound bad, but like I believe we also have more divorce because we have more women influencing other women to divorce. >> That's what they say. They say in a group, if there's a couple that gets divorced, the chances of everyone else in there like I forgot what it was, but it skyrockets. >> Yeah. Because like I don't I don't think generally men, at least what I'm exposed to, I've been exposed to more men influencing men to get married.
7:34 That's what I see more of. Yeah, I see more of that and less of like like stay single, it's cool. Look at me. Like that looks lame. Like you know what I mean? >> That's what all my married guys say to like the single guys. >> I don't know if my algorithm just became that over time, but like it felt like women go tend to like more be more like independent about you don't need this guy to be happy or whatever. >> That's true. When you see a guy that's like 50, you know, "Look at me, I'm in Mexico with no kids." He seems like a loser. >> [laughter] >> I don't know, man. I think I think it's I think it's every version of every way. You cuz it's it's the same thing I see in the group >> like a dad that has like a whole family, everything looks perfect, and they're miserable on the inside. >> Yeah. >> Same ████ >> Cuz grass is greener and ████ >> know what pays off later. >> Or they have a midlife crisis, and then they get divorced, and they go, "Yo, I'm ████ this one broad now." And then and then they hate their life and ████
8:25 you know? >> It's like Milhouse's dad. >> [laughter] >> Yeah, no, 100% cuz that's also true. But I I think it's not necessarily a marriage thing. I think it's just like >> whether they're happy in their situation or not. >> It bro, it's a it's a ████ you thing, I think. It's it's a you thing. It's a >> They were getting peer pressured to having a family and living a regular normal life. >> Like if you're a dumbass, I think your friend is going to easily sway you to do some stupid ████ Like I think that's just what it is. So it's like and and I think most especially in marriages, most people really fall for the grass is greener thing. They think no matter what their situation if they like, "Oh, I'm married now, but I could get back out there." I think like >> that suck it sucks to fall for that, yeah. >> And then they go doing the reality just never cool. It's just never what they think it is. >> And that's not to say like I'm I'm excluding any relationship where there's
9:16 abuse. Like obviously get out of there. >> [laughter] >> Well, I'm so glad I don't have rizz like Anthony cuz I never get tempted at all. I would never know what but I would do. It'd be a constant struggle every day. >> Cuz like for Anthony, if he's looking over the >> It is. Now imagine. >> [laughter] >> Oh, we proved it. We proved it. >> Why do you think I'm always only in with groups of guys? >> He walked into the trap. >> I'm only always with groups of guys. >> Easier to get groups of girls, that's why, huh? >> Cuz I'm gay. >> Shut up, dude. No one Anthony has discipline. >> I'm honestly uh just around boys all the time. And then when you get And then when you get married, then only the married boys usually end up talking a little bit more or or then when you have kids, now you're like mainly talking with the boys that have kids. And then the boys that don't, it's like you talk with them, but then it's like you don't get too deep in
10:06 stuff, you know, in certain things. And it's it's just natural. It's just natural. >> You guys are a bunch of dads, that's why. >> Yeah. And then you just talk about random dad ████ You talk about your You almost like You almost like mellow out, you know? You like everything around you kind of just like fades into like a smaller, softer bubble. >> Well, that's your world now. >> But then And then you start doing the regular ████ You start watching like sports and stuff. >> married guys go, "Yo, I've been hearing about this swinging stuff." You know? Like that's another weird side. >> It's true, right? You do the You do the You do the suburban life. You do the kid stuff. And then all of a sudden you hear some guys going like, "Yo, I think I think I'm going to ████ that guy's wife. I think we're going to do a thing." You just have that appetite. >> I can't even [clears throat] think about the logistics of it. I'm like, "Wait, you got like five dudes in my ████ in my house?" >> Why don't start at five, dude? Why start
10:56 five? That's ████ crazy. >> It's too much. It's too much of a jump. Like what do I I got to buy ████ a charcuterie board to make everyone >> [laughter] >> I got to host. >> Like two charcuterie with the five dudes? What are you doing at an open [laughter] house? >> Well, you want to be a good host or whatever, right? >> in between. >> You don't have to host [laughter] the dudes. >> You got to snack in between, you know? >> You got to be a good host and all that. >> He's like, "I got to get those little napkins with my name on them." >> to let my neighbors know, "Hey, on tomorrow there's going to be a lot of cars parked out." >> [laughter] >> So if they'll park around my trash cans or whatever. >> like just don't mind us. They'll be gone by 2:00 p.m. >> The logistics of it is crazy, man. >> The sad thing too is like, you know when you have that you know that picture that mental picture that single guy that never got married and he's like got all these cars and all this money and a nice ass house. That's such a small percentage of single guys. >> That is a very small percentage. >> Most of them are losers. They're not
11:46 rich. Well, I mean most most guys who are like I I would think most single dudes who ended up single and stayed single are just kind of like, "Man, I wish I found somebody. That'd be cool." You know what I mean? I think that's the majority. >> I think a small like a really small amount are actually like living like kings, you know what I mean? >> Also though, imagine though, imagine 40-year-old guy who never had to pay for like another other human being. Like dates and ████ this and shopping or kids and food and like >> Postmates is like freaking >> Imagine you only had to take care of yourself. I'm not saying this like I want it, Nina. I'm just [laughter] It's a hypothetical conversation. That's what Jake >> No, the savings are insane. >> I'm just saying that's so much money. Like if you're not rich and you're ████ 45 single dude, no kids, you don't have a lot of money, you're an idiot. >> think that guy's spending
12:36 >> Most of them aren't rich. >> Yeah, you don't think that guy's spending money on stupid ████ though? That's the problem though, I feel like. >> Cuz chicks will keep you in check. What the ████ are you buying that? >> Or you'll have another goal to spend it on. But if you're spending on yourself, I feel like >> Well, then you >> the it can get out of hand, you know? >> Yeah, yeah, but then you might not you might not have like a like a giant house, but you got everything that you like. Is that not a version? >> I think you end up turning into a loser cuz you Can you Can you imagine a guy Can you imagine a guy No, watch. Can you imagine a guy like you're like "You know what? I can't wait to get dim sum by myself tomorrow." >> Yeah. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> Could [laughter] you imagine a guy >> like 10 plates, right? >> And you even do that? Do they even let you? >> Well, imagine Yeah, you sit there >> to go only. >> You sit there, you got 10 plates. Then you have everyone like staring at you. You're like, "Uh maybe I'm not going to do this again." So, I think eventually you do become a recluse. Society will look at you as a weird guy.
13:26 >> And then you become the rich guy that's like nobody understands me, brother. >> I walk a path, a solitary path, and no one understands me. >> everybody else whack for hanging out with their wives. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. >> Oh, this guy sucks, bro. >> You don't think they like clump up? Yeah, they [clears throat] clan up. >> What do you mean clump up? >> Are they like lone wolves? >> you mean clump up? >> what I'm talking about? Like are they lone wolves? >> Maybe they become a pack of some sort. >> Look at the tape, bros, dude. Look [laughter] at those guys. They're all ████ >> They're entrepreneurs, they do. >> They were all alpha wolves of their own era and they all just linked up together at the end. >> Entrepreneurs, single guys. >> They got arrested together. >> [laughter] >> In capris. >> Which I can understand if that's their whole MO, if they're just like I never want to get married. >> Yeah, that's like your identity and your branch, sure. >> I'm just saying in general. It's like how some people are like I they're married and they're like we both never want to have kids.
14:16 >> Okay, how about this? What about What about the person who tried a long time. Yes, there's there's something wrong with them. I'm still going to say that, you know what I mean? But like they they did try. They wanted it and now they're like 45 and there's just nobody around. >> You know what I would do if I was that guy? I would go to a country where my dollar spreads like a ████ >> Dude, honestly, yeah. >> Because then you can live life truly and then if people have judgmental eyes, you can tell them to shut their ████ eyes by throwing like a $2 bill at them. >> [laughter] >> But in America, you can't, right? You go have dim sum, people are judging you, you're like >> [laughter] >> But then if you're ████ in like, I don't know, Thailand or whatever, like go shut the ████ up. >> though? >> That's why passport bros make so much sense. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> Like go shut the ████ up with my two quarters.
15:06 >> [laughter] >> That's what I would do. >> You can buy peace for yourself. >> you can't do that with like hundreds, but you got to be rich. You got to be rich. >> Maybe in like rural Idaho. >> [laughter] >> Where you can buy wives, too. >> Yeah, yeah, I mean >> I'd be down to buy some wives. >> Yeah, where would you go? >> I [laughter] don't know, yeah. Superior Grocers? Bayartas? Jaliscos?
