0:00 Like if we go out >> Like elder respect and all those rules. >> comes, "Oh, what would you guys like to drink?" And Taika's like, "Can I have a Sprite, please?" I'm like, "What the ████ Just for that? Jumping in front of mom? No Sprite." >> Yep. >> I'm like, "You better wait till the old It gets to your ass." >> Yeah, yeah. You're last on the totem pole, brother. >> Welcome back to another episode of The Careful Bowies. >> Low-key boys. >> Low-key kings. >> We're going to get super Asian right now. What's the most Asian thing about you that you can cannot escape? >> Do I like it or not like it? >> That's up to you, man. >> Oh. >> Like you're really good at math. You can't escape the fact that you're really good at math. >> Bart's good at math. >> Oh, I thought you were talking about yourself. >> That's That's why I said like you. >> I'm pretty good at math. >> That's the thing you can't escape. The most Asian version part about you. >> No, cuz I can't escape it. Sometimes I just feel like being dumb and I just
0:50 look at numbers and I don't know what the hell I'm looking at. >> So, you do escape it. >> escape it. What I can't escape, yeah. >> Oh, being shady? All right. All right. All right. What ways are you shady? >> Asian feature. Exclusively. >> Well, I know exactly what you mean. >> being Chinese. Maybe being Chinese. >> All right. You mean like a like a penny pincher? >> Or you mean like >> Like being cheap? >> Just like I feel like >> Trying to smuggle people? >> No. I feel like there's like regular world Like you just walk through regular world, right? Like you know when you go through a supermarket, they put the aisles and there's like a obvious flow of how the world's supposed to go. And I think most people view those things. But then in my brain, like I sometimes can't help but see like all the different scams or like like heists
1:40 or things that are available and I choose not to do them. You know what I mean? >> So, you're always staking out a joint every time you walk in. >> Like when I go pick up Taika from school, right? And then there's like some kids that like walk home, some kids ride their bikes home. And I'll see the kid walking on the sidewalk. I'm like, "Look how kidnappable that guy is." >> That's not Asian. >> I feel like I do that. Do you do that? >> I'm I can't >> Yeah, but I don't think that's Asian. That's like human nature thing. >> those thoughts. And that's two Chinese guys right there. >> I do that immediately. No, is that an Asian trait though? >> No, no. Looking at a kid walking by themselves and thinking that person's going to >> You know what I do sometimes? >> But the shady part of it where you just you just see a lot of >> My version of that is sometimes I'll see a guy walk on the street and he'll have like I'm not like I don't consider myself a very materialistic person in that way.
2:32 But some guy will have us like some nice Yeezys and I'll be like, "Man, what if I just beat the ████ out of that dude and just took his Yeezys and just dipped?" Like nobody would know. And I go, "Nah, you can't do that." >> That's the Korean side of him. >> That's not Chinese, is it? >> That's like a I don't understand that because that's a with great power comes great responsibility thing. >> No, like but even even when I was with my buddy >> Cuz you know you could decimate some fools. >> probably pull his shoes off him. >> Cuz I would do Yeah, I would do that with my buddy. My buddy would be like, "Man, what if you just" I was like He would sit there and be like, "Man, there's nothing stopping us from just grabbing that fool and just taking his shoes and just dipping." You know? >> That's Spider-Man like going through the skyscrapers. He's like, "I could ████ that fool. I could ████ that fool. I could ████ that fool. I could ████ that fool." I could ████ that fool. >> Nah, but me and a homie like talking like that. Like we've had actual conversations like that. Is that bad? >> But that's like are you doing it cuz it's funny to talk about? >> Kind of. >> Yeah. >> But But there's a part of you that
3:22 really I think it's just intrusive thoughts. >> This is this you know what everybody has intrusive thoughts and everybody's intrusive thoughts goes on to something that they have less self-awareness of, right? Like if you're really good at math and I'll just going to be really really bad analogy, but you're probably like looking at numbers in a different way than a regular person who's not good at math. >> Yeah, that's true. >> Yeah, so same thing. If you were like a black belt and you just see you're probably looking at everybody and everyone constantly is getting sized up as a subconscious feature of your ability. >> Mhm. >> You might look at everyone like they're prey. >> Not everyone. >> That's your Mongolian side. Most people >> Most people you're probably >> Hey, where do you live? Let me go through your stuff. >> Hey, that's your Neanderthal side. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> You probably look at most people and just like I'll ████ you. >> No. No. Maybe when I was younger I would. But I think back then I was more wrong
4:13 though. I was way more wrong. I thought I could beat up way more people than I actually could back then. >> So you're getting smarter and more mature and more skilled. >> Yeah. >> Or less intrusive thoughts. Yeah, less intrusive thoughts. >> What about you guys? >> You know what I think is is is an Asian trait? I think victim blaming is an Asian trait. >> Yeah, it really is. It is. It is, dude. >> Go-to impulse. >> yeah. Yeah. Because it's like Asians are not known for like, you know, if your kid ████ up in school, Asians are not the ones that are like, "I'm going to talk to your teacher and straighten all this out." You know, that's more like ████ whites and blacks and ████ But Asians are like, "You ████ up. What did you do?" Yeah. They they immediately like they don't want to hear the story. It's your fault. >> That's why the kidnapping scenario makes sense from an Asian perspective. It's not like, "Look how kidnappable that is." It's a Once that kid gets kidnapped, it's like, "Well, I saw them on the street and it kind of looks like
5:04 >> It's kind of your fault. >> That is victim blaming because you're like, "It's your fault for thinking you could just walk around as a kid." >> Yo, actually >> How dare you? >> That is probably my most Asian trait. >> I can't shake that either. I'm I I go to that first in my mind and then I have to manually shift the gear, but my first instinct whenever anything happens, something drops in the house, anything like Smack is about to tell me a story about something, the first thing I'm going to think is like, "How did you ████ up for this to happen?" And then I got to go, "Okay, that's What am I Why am I Asian?" >> I agree. I agree. >> You know what I mean? That's a very Asian thing. It's a learned thing that's like culturally present. >> Well, I mean, to be fair, if as a child you learned that and paid your dues for always being wrong regardless, it's only fair that you get to see the world like that. >> That's true, cuz we're older now.
5:55 >> Yeah, you already paid your dues on it, you know? That's like That's like looking at elders and as a younger person to your elders, especially in Asian culture, all the time. It's always the respect. It's always they eat first. It's always the You You speak to them a certain way. It's always get up off of the seat or whatever, let them sit down. >> Get up off of the seat. >> All right, anyways. But the point being is when your ass gets that old, no shame. You get bowed down to. You put your feet up. You pick your ████ nose and you You flick that in public. You don't give a ████ cuz you paid your entire life respecting them regardless. I think that's the Asian feature. >> That is a very Asian feature that we automatically respect old people. >> That also sucks if the modern society starts ████ flipping their ████ like they're doing with every category of everything. >> Yeah. >> Right? Cuz all the traditional values are seen as like almost ████
6:45 >> toxic or whatever. >> Yeah. So imagine you pay your dues in our generation, you get older, you hope to do it, but you get canceled as an old person. >> Asian folks, it'll never change. I think it's so ingrained in all of us. >> We're ingraining that ████ in Taika right now. >> Even with the younger gen Like that idea of like I think that respect, I think it's always going to be a part of just Asian folks. >> Like if we go out >> respect and all those rules >> server comes, "What would you guys like to drink?" And Taika's like, "Can I have a Sprite, please?" I'm like, "What the f███?" Just for that? Jumping in front of mom? No Sprite. >> Yep. >> I'm like, "You better wait till the old It gets to your ass." >> Yeah, yeah. You're last on the totem pole, brother. >> And then he'll be like, "Okay. I'll just drink water." >> Yeah, that's right. >> No ice. >> Yeah, but knowing you, he's like, "Okay, I'll just drink water." You know, I'll say, "Sir, you're good, bud. Get you two Sprites for him, please." >> Two Sprites, Shirley Temple, and a root
7:35 beer float. >> He did a good job cuz he recognized he was wrong. So let's get him Can we get him a case of Sprite? >> Consolation prize. >> A Sprite? How about A BIKE? >> HOW ABOUT A 3D PRINTER? >> SPRITE, you can't spell Sprite without Sprinter. >> How about some filament? >> Yeah. Respecting old people is definitely like like up there, for sure. >> I think that's pretty >> Cuz like we respect old people of all races. Like it's not just like all their Asians, right? >> it's not racism, it's ageism. >> I feel like old people love me for that reason. You know what I mean? Cuz it's a great They know that we're one of the good ones that >> That's probably because to the rest of the world you're a threat and then to old people you're not a threat. You're like this little Asian boy. >> Dude, no one looks at me like oh, this guy's a ████ threat. They look at me as like >> When they get to know you. >> No, when they even when they just look at me, they they go like this guy's just weird looking, that's all. We're not to
8:25 worry about him. He's just weird looking. >> That's why hate stop Asian hate was so appalling it's cuz there's so much footage of like people suplexing grandmas and ████ >> Their our most sacred demographic is getting ████ up. >> so wildly the opposite, yeah. >> When we take care of everyone else's grandparents. >> Yeah, exactly. It's like I would never do that to your ████ whatever race your grandma is. Whatever race she is. You know what race she is. >> What can't you escape, Joe? You can't escape Japan, we all know that. >> Your accent. >> Oh. Oh, here another more lightweight scam one would would be like uh I feel like Asians would try to like either share Netflix passwords or find a free pay-per-view link. You know, it's just like just always trying to do the >> About this guy, this guy gets mad at me when I give him the link. He's like I'd rather buy buy it.
9:15 >> That's my white side. That's my white side. >> ████ is that, Bart? Honestly, when you said that ████ to me, I was like dude, I know I know you're a rich guy, but that's ████ ridiculous. >> Watch the stream. >> Hey, one time I asked him for a stream link and then he scolded me and I never ████ talked to him again about that ████ >> to support, dude. >> And then and then who'd you hit up? >> up your boy. >> No, we're not ████ artists. Artists don't support Artists know that artists are going through it, so they are okay with it. >> No, we got to support each other. >> Okay, that's against union rules for SAG. >> Okay, you guys are successful, that's different. Speak to the regular artists that are still trying to make IT. >> YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. STILL TRYING TO MAKE IT. >> YEAH, you're right. >> I have I haven't left my craft yet, all right? From fighting to fame, whatever. >> Uh you guys came up with those gay ass titles, by the way. I ████ hated that title. >> You know what I think is a good one for Joe? Is the you know, like just doing Asian
10:05 accents all the time. Like I don't What? I think like you just can't stop. >> Yeah. >> But you know, some Asians ████ hate that ████ >> They think we're getting We're they're like they're getting uh sent back. >> We don't care about Nick Shark's opinions. >> heart, that's who they are. It's like being closeted gay. >> It's cuz you don't have ████ friends. That's the main reason for any of that. >> All the accents. >> All accents are fun. >> Yeah. You can't get sent back for doing Asian accents. The Asian accent will never leave. >> Yeah. >> Cuz they're going to keep coming over here. >> That's a It's a timeless thing. It's impossible. You know what was sending us back for a second, even though it's like similar? It was when Ken Jeong showed his little ass dick in ████ Hangover or whatever. That sent us back a little bit, and even then you couldn't get You couldn't get that mad. >> That's just his dick though, I think. >> That's what I'm saying though, but still it's like you How do How do you get mad
10:55 at an entire ████ culture? >> All I got to do is beat that, and I'm good. If I just beat that, I'm okay. >> But I think that was the problem that some people had. He set the bar low. >> I think so. >> Here's another Asian one you can't escape, but I think this might be only specific some of the Asians that use this thing. Is uh I almost only exclusively use the soup spoon. >> Huh? >> You know, like the the regular metal spoon? >> Yeah, you don't use that? >> The ████ spoon? I never use the ████ spoon. I always use the soup spoon. For cereal, soup, everything. >> You mean that >> Chinese one? >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> You cook with chopsticks? >> I cook with chopsticks too. >> Yeah. But that soup spoon I only cuz that's the most efficient spoon. The other ████ one that's made out of metal ████ burns your mouth if you try to eat soon to be I don't know why Koreans use that ████ you guys are dumb.
11:45 Honestly that's my gripe and the soup is the spoon is like this ████ big too. How am I going to get rice and soup in one? You want tofu and some meat and some broth use the Chinese soup spoon. Thank me later. >> Yeah that's that's good. That Chinese soup spoon is a ████ >> end the video now? >> You don't use that? You don't have that everywhere in your house? >> No no no we can end the video now.
