You just stay black. >> No more bets. [laughter] >> No more bets. >> So if there's eight donuts, they're like, "Don't eat anymore. Just leave it. Just let it rot." >> Welcome back to another episode of Careful Boys. Um, for those of you who believe in astrology and maybe you govern your life a specific way, you make certain little decisions here and there about work, friendship, whatever based on star signs, you still are doing nothing compared to the extent that some Chinese people go in order to make room for their beliefs such as funue. We're going to talk about certain beliefs that some Chinese people have that uh overgo
0:53 the way that they live. >> That's cool. That's cool. [laughter] >> I've been around Chinese people all my life. >> You like it? You like the >> But um I knew that a lot of people practice fune and stuff and like my friend had a fune warlock master. >> How do you gain warlock status? >> Well, I call him Mr. Warlocks, but he's a m he's like a guru, right? >> He was a locksmith. [laughter] >> He's just a locksmith. But um I was having sleep problems and then he was like, "Draw me like how your room looks like and where your bed is." And I was like, "All right." And then um um yeah. And then he told me to change and rearrange my ████ >> What's the correct configuration for And did you sleep better after? >> I thought I did, but I was pretty
1:43 insomniac till I was 38. >> Damn. >> So in in the time I think the placebo or whatever at the time it ████ made me feel like I >> He didn't ask what drugs you were doing at the time. [laughter] It's not important. >> Were you doing amphetamines at 9:00 p.m.? >> Were you doing it right [laughter] before bed? >> Are you getting sunlight 30 minutes in the morning? >> Cuz you know what's crazy? Like word on the street is the the MGM Lion, they reorganized it just because the fun was bad and >> reorganized it. >> Re uh Yeah. Repositioned it to face the other side of the street cuz it was turning away Chinese customers. That's how crazy it is. >> Wow. >> Yeah. Fun is insane in the Chinese community. >> I have a question. So like what's the difference between fune the zodiac and then like chi? >> They all tie in together but they're technically separate things. >> It's a big question.
2:34 >> We're going to have to do >> but they're tech part two on this. >> They're separate. >> Can we afford to edit this one? It's going to be pretty long. So, so um so the zodiac determines like what kind of person you are and like what are your strengths and weaknesses and what things you should avoid or attract yourself to to have a more smooth or successful life. Your fune is like how your environment affects your life. And then chi is like has to do with mainly for health like your internal and stuff. >> Okay. That's the hot cold stuff. >> Yeah. So if your chi is ████ insane like ████ Goku or whatever, then you could have the most ████ up funue and you could be invincible to it. >> So how does fune adapt to the changing uh evolution of like furniture design like and how houses are made and and like new architecture?
3:24 >> Well, that's why the Chinese fools, they like Chinese furniture cuz it doesn't change. It's ████ the round the ████ round wood ████ Like if you want to >> the food dogs everywhere. >> Yeah. You really want to stick to Chinese ████ >> Like you go to some of the most ballin neighborhoods, >> super sick mid-century modern home, two food dogs in the front if it's a Chinese person. >> If you have a Spanish style home, you have to get like three food dogs. >> Yeah. >> To to balance everything out. >> And then they'll have that ████ octagon mirror and ████ you know? Like if there's like >> if there's like a a light, >> the towel mirror. >> Yeah. Or like a telephone post too close to your front door, they ████ shine the ████ octagon mirror to blast the energy away. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or you have those little crystal balls hanging from a string that just rotate. >> And then if you got a crazy ass ████ like my mom, >> she never does textbook. She does textbook and she goes, "How do I scale
4:14 that?" So you know what we did one year. [laughter] >> So usually people get the octagon mirror, right? >> What she does is she's like, "What's even crazier than octagon mirror? the back of a walk. So, we went to a supermarket and we bought a walk that's like this big. >> Makes her own funray up. >> Back of it is like one of those like you know those corner mirrors so you don't crash into >> like convex >> convex mirror. We hung ████ walks all around the house [laughter] to reflect all the energy. >> Were they seasoned or not season? >> Not [laughter] cuz that changes if it's seasoned. You're like I don't know if you should put that up there. >> So [laughter] my mom takes whatever is textbook and makes her own crazy ass style. So like if my homies come over the wiser ████ walks all over your house. [laughter] >> Wait, how long did you Wait, how long did you have walks? >> Thank you. >> You caused the great walk shortage of 1998. It was you.
5:04 >> It might still be on there to be honest. I haven't paid attention ████ >> Hanging walks. [laughter] >> That's so dope. My mom does make up her own room. >> My mom's crazy. >> Okay, let me let me just ask you a quick question. Um if you could >> Yo, comment below if you got walks in your house hanging >> hanging walks. >> Got to know if there's any more out. If you could just like make a rough estimate. All right. How much money do you think in your mom's lifetime has she wasted on Chinese beliefs? [laughter] >> Chinese beliefs. >> He's like seven figs, dude. >> How much do you think it like if you had to just ballpark estimate? >> If I had to add all of them, >> impractical Chinese beliefs, >> Buddhist donations, funue, ████ chi, all that ████ like readings, >> all the donations to get you to not deploy. [laughter] >> Yeah. All of it. >> Yeah. Probably over over 300 grand probably. >> Wow. >> And that's the stuff that you do know
5:55 about. >> Yeah. [laughter] Yeah. Probably over 300 grand. >> ████ >> Yeah. My mom's crazy. >> My lord. >> Though if she's like donating to monasteries, I think that's normal. >> That's good karma though. >> That's like donating to church. >> So she like dollar cost average monasteries. Like that happens every month. Every year. Yeah. [laughter] Every month. Every year for like the last 20, 30 years. on a bull run right now, dude. The monasteries are are ripping right now. >> Do you think that her satisfaction of like does she feel like it's a lot of that's really come back and blessed her, though? Is she happy? >> Yeah, >> that's pretty cool. >> Then you can't say a dollar was wasted. Yeah, you can't really say she's wasted any money at all. >> She is a She is She comes off as a pretty happy person. She's giggly all the time and ████ >> She's very happy, very optimistic, very good energy. It's like I can't even imagine those times he's chasing you,
6:46 throwing ████ at you and over bending a lamp. >> Well, she hung all those walks and blocked all the ████ energy. That's why. >> Did you Did your family believe in all these uh little kooky kooky cute things? >> No walks, but uh they Yeah, they definitely is the same thing. Like you can't um you can't cut your nails at night or >> you can't whistle like the ghost come. >> Wait, why can't you cut your nails at night? Because ghosts have long nails and if you cut them is like something. >> So you'd got to do it in the morning. >> Yeah. Before it's >> when they're not around so they don't see it. >> Or like um my >> Do the ghost believe in daylight savings time though? Like what time is it? >> You got to adjust. You got to adjust. [laughter] The rule is when it's dark. >> This episode is brought to you by Lucy Breakers. My favorite nicotine pouches out there. Now if you guys already are into this stuff like me, I go with the 4
7:38 mgram. They're kind of the lowest and lightest end. They just kind of give me that nice little uppy hit that keeps me focused so that I can focus on things like JK News or Driving Straight or whatever it is that might be in in the zone for me. So that's how I get in the zone. I take the light ones. If you're a little bit more gangster, you can go up on that next higher level 8 milligrams of stuff, but this was the one for me.

Nicotine is an addictive chemical or um or like you can't sleep on the same side as the refrigerator and then it because it gives you a headache,
8:28 >> bro. >> The same side as the refri. >> My mom used to tell me like don't put your head on the wall. It's cold. It's going to mess with your, you know, it's like ████ like that. Or I don't even remember. >> What were you having your head on the wall for? you know, just like sitting up and just putting my head, you know, like things like that. >> And my mom would be like, "You can't do that. It's gonna, you know, it's cold. It's not good for you." Blah, blah, blah. You can't sleep with a fan on you or some ████ You know, it's like all this like >> you can't have a fan on you when you're sleeping. >> But is is there like a Bible or like a grand wizard that puts together? >> Yeah, there's no urban dictionary for all this stuff. [laughter] >> There is a manuscript. There's there's an actual manuscript of it of all the rules. But I mean like I'm pretty sure in 300 like CE no one wrote about a refrigerator and how it's going to give you a headache, right? So >> no, but you just riff on it >> cuz if it's cold, what's cold? What's colder than the wall at night? >> The refrigerator. But then technically, isn't it emitting a little bit of heat
9:18 >> externally? >> So what would it be? >> You don't you don't rest your head on the back side of the refrigerator, dude. Where that's where the that's where that's where the heat comes from. And then if you if you question enough >> the backside [laughter] of a >> if you question enough then the feather duster comes out and starts whacking you 20 times. >> So you don't want to question it too much. >> But then how how much did you how much did you question these things before you just stopped questioning them with your mom? >> I never questioned it. >> Oh, you never even questioned it as a kid? >> No, because I already got the feather duster in the beginning. So I just said yes to everything. But then later on when I became an adult, I was like ████ all this ████ I'm like I'm like are you >> Did you guys had to like work on like removing your brainwashing like how some people were like cuz they'll do this with any religion you know like I did I got I got like the Christian ████ beaten the ████ into me. So then like
10:08 >> did you have to one day go a I could sleep next to a wall it's not going to ████ me up and did you have to like deal with like >> Yes. But then I have like, you know, like the like the Catholic guilt that Steve always talks about. Like I'm trying to rebel, but inside I'm like, I'm so ████ guilty. Why am I being such a bad boy? >> But the bad boy is it like I'm sleeping next to a ████ wall. >> Like ████ like that. >> So it's those kind of rules. >> Oh, I I do do I do that with numbers. 68 is a great number. And my mom really really believes in that. But then I every password I have is four and seven because those are the worst numbers. >> Tell people your passwords. No, but it's multiple four and seven [laughter] >> just to go ████ you. >> But but now I still feel guilty, but I do it. >> Oh, like it's a bad number. >> Yeah, it's a bad number. >> You shouldn't do that, dude. >> You better not put fours in your stuff.
10:58 >> What? >> Don't put fours in. >> Oh, yeah. That's like another thing. And a lot of a lot of Asian countries, they don't even have the fourth floor. Like when they're building, that's how crazy it is. Like the fourth floor just doesn't exist. When you're >> It goes 1 2 3 5. >> You're building a skyscraper. It's kind of like the 13th for America. >> Yeah, 100%. >> It's crazy. >> Damn. No. Fourth floor. >> Eight is like the number one of all time. >> That's the best of every Chinese person has eight in their passwords for sure. >> Eight uh when you pronounce it like I think in the Cantonese way, it means like you're going to ████ blow up. Like >> is that why Kobe picked eight? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Okay. But but then but then my mom will twist it sometimes like she if she sees a number like on a phone or choose a phone number whatever it's like bad numbers like 1475 or whatever but if it if she adds it together and it's like 8 88 she's like this is good. [laughter]
11:49 >> Okay that's the thing. So they do numerology. No they just do a lot of gaslighting. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They compensate. >> They'll like So like let's say you're if you really wanted this ████ Ferrari or something, right? And then you go there and then the license plate it's like 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 444. If it was a regular car, you I can't take that. But they'll be like, "How do I make it work?" Like four plus four is eight and there's just all eights. Dude, this is all [laughter] eights. We got to get this. >> It's multiples. >> Yeah. That's how Chinese people That's how Chinese brain works. >> Oh wow. >> So that's why they're so good at loopholes. >> They just make it happen. >> You're getting feather duster for everything because for [laughter] >> everything. Because you go, "Wait, you said it was this, so I'm going to follow this, right?" And then because they bend the rules, but they don't update you on the new rules, you're you don't do this.
12:39 Why did you do that? And then so now you get feather dusted for that. So you get ████ beat for everything. >> Damn. That's >> cuz they're the ones twisting the rules around. >> Damn. >> Yeah. >> So then you could make an eight of four as well. You could >> But you can't you don't separate it. >> Yeah. Yeah. You don't do that. [laughter] >> Once you get a eight, you're like, "That's that's perfect. You leave as is. You don't touch it. >> No division. Nothing. [laughter] >> Yeah, that's blackjack. You just keep it. >> Yeah, you just stay black. >> No more bets. [laughter] >> No more bets. >> So if there's eight donuts, they're like, "Don't eat anymore. Just leave it. [laughter] Just let it rot." >> Or they'll go, "Hey, we got eight people here. Each one of us just take one of them." >> Ah. >> They'll find a way to like >> My mom didn't want to move into this one place because the address ended with a four. >> Yeah. And she was like, "No, no, no. We can't do this." >> You know what's funny? my the house that
13:29 uh uh my parents got divorced in. That was the best address number ever. [laughter] They had so many ████ eights in there and they're like, "Yeah, this is the right house." And they got divorced. >> And then all the houses that you profited in real estate were like bad fun. >> Anti funue. Yeah. >> That's so funny. >> Then what if you were to tell your mom like, "Hey, mom, like the houses that are the worst fune I profited the most." What would her like compensation reason be? >> Oh, she's so good at that. I literally brought that up. She was like, "Oh, well, it's because I got your fortune tell whatever reading whatever." And then so because you're a because you're a rat and then this and then this rising sun, you were in like the bull run of your life. So during the bull run of you're invincible. You could live anywhere. >> Oh, you had an invincibility star. >> Yeah. There's like [laughter] >> start lighting up.
14:19 >> But dude, that's it's like astrology too. It's like when you talk to people that are in astrology, they will find all these different characteristics of a rising sun, Leo, or whatever the ████ and all because you were born at this time, they will come up. >> But but the funny thing is that that's why I like comparing the two because in astrology, as much as people do believe in that, they don't make as drastic or lifealtering moves the way that people do over Chinese ████ Like people who go never date a Gemini is because they've done it. Chinese people have no if they they don't even know because they're like I didn't because his name sounded like a four. >> My mom's uh house in Monterey Park, she spent I think like 50 G's uh demolishing the front part of the house just so the house door can face the other direction. So it was facing like south and then she wanted it face east I think. And then she demolished the entire front end.
15:10 >> Like I don't know anybody I know a lot of people that believe in astrology like pretty hardcore. They're not buying certain houses over it. They're not remodeling whole bathrooms over it >> because they don't have rules about houses and numbers and things like that. [laughter] It's not It's not built in. >> Yeah. They're not going that hard. I think Chinese people go the hardest for these beliefs. >> Dude, if they move the You said the the the lion for MGM, they turned it. >> That's the word on the street. They turned it. >> That's so crazy. But that sounds so legit >> just for Chinese customer. But if there's no rule book, what if one Chinese argues with another Chinese that the lion should be this way? No, that >> Well, they're just going to pick the cheapest option out of all. [laughter] >> But somehow there's no rule book, but we all kind of know the same rules. We all kind of >> I think there is a rule book, though. I think there is. I don't think anyone really references it. But there is a rule book. I think there is. >> We got to find this book and we got to review it.
16:00 >> Yeah, cuz how come everyone knows the same rules? That's what I'm trying to figure out is like what where does the core concepts come from? Art's mom is the creator. She's the author. >> She's ghost writing it. [laughter] She's like Joseph Smith. She's looking in the hat. She's like, "All right, guys. It says no more eights." Actually, eights are bad now. Actually,
