8:29 that dude come on man yeah it I don't know what was happening but it was a Taiwanese like variety comedy show that's dope you enjoyed it though a lot of talking or the experience was ████ cool oh it's like fast-paced huh yeah I don't know what was happening but it was cool yeah there's a red light district in uh in Taiwan too like a massage thing did you go no one with family can you get can you see previews like ta what about Beetle nut you do Beetle nut I love Beetle nut Bean L Bean L Bean l i mean he he seems like he would like be he I heard I heard that when you go to those places does that mean there's topless women selling it the beetle nut yeah I heard that no dude that's not a thing topless women selling Beetle they are skimpily dressed though right like
9:21 those glass like glass windows with like pink lighting and you drive by and you pick it up they're bikinis they're in bikinis and ████ and you come out and then they give you one hit you grope it and then you also get the beetle nut what really yeah left it always H tradition yeah is it cuz it's closer to the heart mhm what's the reasoning for putting those things together why would they need to do that attraction have you ever had Beetle nut I did yeah when I was in uh China how is it it just gets your heart ████ pumping it didn't do anything for me me it's really bad for you I never tried it's like in phetamine isn't it what me is really bad for you anything's bad for you man Oxygen's bad for you man what too much too much yeah hey what's up guys just in case you have seen some of these lovely pieces on some of our gentlemen here these awesome Jade pendants or you may have seen the recent JK Adventure where we went to J Jewelers just remember that the sale is on now if
10:13 you want to visit the J jewelers.com it's not like crazy but like it's like coffee kind of is like coffee but it just gives you that like like you're about to die think yeah like a stroke you give you a mini baby baby stroke yeah yeah but but that but that never comes it never comes it would never come but maybe though it's like on the way to something that you know it's edging the stroke no I'm good dude stroke edging is fire I was in first time I went to Taipei I felt like I was in Yokohama Chinatown what is that it's Chinatown in Japan yokahama if you've ever been there it it feels like Taiwan why because the buildings in Taiwan is Japanese style construction bunch of
11:05 pagodas but then the food there because they came in they have similar food similar yeah like it's more like Northern Chinese food like like dumplings and things like that so they have that there and it's all Chinese people at the Chinese Chinatown in Oklahoma they're mostly Mandarin speaking when you walk around taipe it feels the same yeah I feel like we really Embrace uh Chinese and then also Japanese because they're grape yep I know suppos to you embrace it for that reason no because you have to history you don't have no choice it was forced was colonized yeah yeah um but I really like that though that because there's so many different cultures and then our uh vegan food is really good too because of Buddhism yeah Buddhism yeah because they
11:55 have like a buffet thing vegan and U like a Soup Plantation like a Soup Plantation but like delicious there's a vegetarian restaurant Plantation is delicious every corner there is why cuz of Buddhism is really big it's really strong and then like um they'll be like national days where everyone just eats vegetarian food wow but it's really tasty L and ████ like they got their own Taiwanese lent yeah they got their own Taiwanese L pretty much buil in like uh is it called like ████ tuu or some ████ yeah there's like a day that everyone the whole country is just vegetarian do you guys do it do you participate I like meat I like meat too n but my mom will do that ████ but do you have to give something up in the same way like lint no it's just you just everyone eats vegetarian that day it's like you're supposed it's like a day of like maybe cleansing spirit week would you guys be able to homecoming week would you guys be able to live in Taiwan I would love it I would love to live in
12:46 Taiwan you have you have family still there at this time family and but also just the food and transportation you're not worried about a China o nah you're not worried about a China he's buffed saying said come at me huh expion no that's not true well explosion would come from China probably oh don't say that oh you're the one who you're the one also who said the other word that we have to censor at 11 minutes that's my bad continue why you why you got to make me feel bad in the middle of the episode man hey go back to the that's style anyways yeah but I I would live I would live there but it's just that I think the F the family I have now and then friends and it also work um all together you're making it too real remember when you said said you could live in Taiwan for like God damn it $10,000 there was a wrong answer right there easily yeah that's you could make your money stretch
13:36 like a ████ out there yeah but would you be able to live out there I think I could it wouldn't be preferred but I I definitely think I could cuz just it just be a completely different lifestyle I feel like when you think American you think I got a car and I drive and I walk my own feet everywhere you know it's like you live your life kind of like that whole like main character energy we're talking about I think in Taiwan you you have to get used to getting plugged into the system so it's more system living like how do we all kind of work and live together that's what you were saying about Japan I feel like what my friends told me that lived in Taiwan they said that it's like a third world country not third world country but like if you're ████ balling uhhuh you're balling but if you're just trying to make it it's hard as hell and then you could be a decent living but like the real estate it's
14:27 already called for this is already called like everything is kind of like it's hard to like break into that like the the rent is so much the you could most people can rent but then it's almost impossible to buy like for like a one-bedroom apartment it will be like a million dollar or something but to rent it will be like pretty affordable that's why it's easy for me to go there now versus to come up now to come up would be so hard come up there like come up especially in the school system you have to be like a ████ genius to go to every single Next Level and that's why we're in America you know what I'm saying ████ yeah dude cuz you take the SE student there and they'll ████ come here and ████ make Harvard suck their dick cuz there're so crazy hey D hey is all the um Taiwanese people that come to America like the
15:19 wealthy people of Taiwan cuz it seems like or at least maybe I just met Taiwanese people that all know each other that own factories and ████ like in you know like their circle is like they they all somehow have a connection to a factory in China or they're doing something Imports Imports exp I think that's the only way maybe for Taiwanese people to be rich well no to like have a I think for a lot because of the import export and Factory thing that's what my father did and that's how we came here and I think um for a lot of Taiwanese people that's what it is because I think that's the most prominent um industry is your family well off over there uh they were at a time cuz I feel like for a lot of Taiwanese people it's once you get to a certain wealth level you send your kids abroad to yeah to to learn and
16:09 study yeah yeah that's how I went to Ana that's when my dad was yeah cuz that school is expensive as ████ yeah it was like I think like 20 30,000 or something a year imagine for high school like 30 GS a year for high school yeah oh man it crazy you had the best education though right no oh okay cuz then if you're like if you're in Taiwan I think it's hard to leave it be really hard cuz what other job would you be able to have in Taiwan that you could do that maybe like you could teach English maybe like oh okay you could let them feel your left tit and give them a beetle nut that'll be nice too but they could only afford themselves I think yeah but yeah what was your favorite and least favorite thing about Taiwan this last trip mhm the monkeys um my least favorite is my mom and my favorite was she being a pain
16:59 in the ass my favorite is the monkeys for sure wa well how come oh pretty low anging fruit man I saw a monkey my favorite monkeys make me ████ happy though monkeys are the best no my favorite is um reconnecting taica with family so you know how like when you're a kid like you don't really remember things too much yeah so it's like yeah like you could be you could spend like a week with this aunt and you guys get cool by the end of the week but then if you don't see that Aunt for four or five years then you feel distant again so it was like my my I mean ta kind of knows who this side of the family is like by name and kind of how they're related to me oh this is like my grandma's sister Grandma's brother this is my Dad's cousin whatever um but to kind of get him reacquainted so that even though we have like this distant
17:49 family we're like kind of nurturing those bonds and I think that part is really cool so Tao feels like very loved from from both sides and seeing him get more connected to his Taiwanese Roots I think is really really cool and then uh the other part is my mom's hard to deal with so does she still live out there no she lives here she goes back pretty often but um she's always just trying to do like the Asian parent type ████ where it's like I don't know it's hard to explain I'm sure your dad's like that but it's like a the kind of like oh go go go hug that on go go go go do this go do that and I ████ I ████ hate that ████ if they don't want to do it don't want to do it yeah yeah I hate that ████ and my mom is so adamant about like making she's saying that to you or to taica both so for me I'm like him he's
18:39 off limits you don't ████ talk to him did you tell her that I will and so she end up getting passive aggressive on the trip like I forgot I forgot what happened one of this like my my uncle my uncle random one of these those church fans you know that seats like 15 20 people or whatever and then um my uncle was oh tomorrow what should we eat for dinner or whatever and then my mom was like um well I'm not going to voice my opinion because apparently I'm like on someone's like ████ list or something sounds so cool in Chinese I'm sitting in the back seat I'm sitting in the back seat going like this ████ ████ why is your mom such a teenager why you got to air that ████ out I don't care don't just that's just Chinese mom stuff Bart she start saying that stuff Bart's like look at the monkeys
19:29 she's such a teenager passive does passive aggressive Chinese sound any different than like American style like English they probably do it in Proverbs and ████ it's it hits so so much deeper is the tone like that same thing that you just did kind of or is it more dead pan like it's kind of mixed with because Chinese is such an old language it sounds really formal too oh so it sounds like a ████ Emperor talking it's it's weird like like for example like um if do your mom do your mom be be your mom be your mom what did she say what did she say she said I forgot what the word is but for example he'll know um like if you say something to an elder that's not in that respectful tone yeah if my mom will go like like as a kid right and then th that is like something where it's like like blasphemy like it's like it's like those
20:21 type of like you're in court yeah you're in court all the ████ time that's how that Vibe is where it's like objection the lower subject dares to speak to me this way and you're like ████ shut the ████ up cuz English is so unfor and they all speak like that like this is this is my Offspring from America has come to visit blah and I'm like they're exclaiming things I'm like God from cantones it's way more casual it's more more like fun interesting Mulan ex so that's kind of like Posh British versus Cockney yeah like saying this will hold you in contempt Taiwan sounds really cool yeah between the two of you guys I wonder if ta's ever like I like my Mexican side more is he finally Mexican now or is he
21:13 still Chinese I don't know I'm going to try to bring him next time and then you guys have to ask him it's hard to say yeah cuz for the longest time he was just Chinese well every country he goes to that's what he thinks he is so when we came back from Korea he was telling everybody like come Korean come take him to Mexico next see what happens know
