0:00 one time I did see him CLE out a whole box of nerds though you took down a whole box of nerds supposed to last a week and then he was just like popping did his stomach hurt didn't he get sick cuz I remember I went to his desk I clean up your desk he's like all right and I see him pick up the box like this I'm like yo is that empty he goes [Laughter] [Music] yeah was there anything that you weren't allowed to eat growing up a lot yeah what was yours not as much as Bart probably well the first one was no meat in the house ooh that's tough my mom's a vegetarian oh really no meat in the house so that so dinner pretty much suck but did you grow up eating meat like just in general up to 67 yes cuz my mom was normal um we had like pork chops

0:50 you know like just regular steak chicken whatever and then at 600 when my parents got divorced my parents went my mom went cockoo and I think she's going to save her life by not eating any animals who told her that who gave her that idea some some like neighbor who moved in close to you guys and like she started hanging out with her too much probably he's trying to hit on her mom and stuff just there's this thing in Buddhism where it's like you you don't really repent in the temple cuz that's just words it's worthless in Buddhism you repent through action so if your marriage didn't like play out it's probably something you did before so then you would like go like I'm going to vow the next 5 years to not eat meat instead of fixing your personality or conflict resolution skills it's don't

1:40 eat beef deprive yourself of one of the building blocks of life yeah yeah it's like one of the funniest stupidest things ever um so I couldn't eat that and then my mom also was just got on a weird nutrition tip so like anything that had artificial flavors or coloring she wouldn't let me eat at home wow so nothing fun capricans squeezits yummy ice creams none of that even if we went to like let's say a thrify ice cream you know as a kid you're really attracted to Colors so you like see like rainbow sherb you're like that's all artificial colors so I could only get like uh like vanilla or vanilla and coconut or like you know vanilla and coconut like those like Grand coconut rainbow sh to this day blows my brains when I look at it it does look ████ crazy or that cotton candy one that's like blue and ████ pink idea that it's an artificial color

2:32 is funny because even vanilla like correct just cuz it looks like what you think it would be yeah correct cuz it's not like the thrifties is like true Madagascar ████ vanilla ground extract you know it's still probably just vanilla flavor coconut it's not coconut yeah wow so you weren't allowed to uh anything her diet basically just reflected on you but outside of the house you just ate whatever so that was kind of cool where like outside of the house she let me eat whatever so at school at school that's when I can get like McDonald's Pizza Hut or whatever it was a but it was a religious decision that your mom made like eating meat is is a Buddhist thing right it's a Budd you you're not trying to eat you're trying not to eat your dad cuz like you know they believe in reincarnation so it's like what if your dad came back as a cow and now you chopped them up and you just ate your dad somebody's going

3:23 to eat him yeah so so it's like sometimes you can eat your dad at McDonald's that's that's basically what she was saying I guess once in a while your dad could pop up in a happy I think it's one of those like not on my watch you knowe can't be in the house yeah what age until that what did you say that if you want to ████ eat your dad not when I'm watching until I got I got kicked out of school so I moved in with my pops and my dad my dad's a regular Chinese dude that likes ████ chicken feed and all kinds of crazy ████ so I moved in with my dad and then started eating normal stuff again but then when I first moved in uh since I ate such a clean diet for 9 years pretty much I would smell my dad cooking any meat and it smelled rancid like like it could be shrimp chicken beef whatever I it was like whoa what the ████ did someone die

4:14 no way how sad what what was a normal meal like at home then for many years of that's vegetarian like what would lots of leaks like well there's a I don't even know if you can eat leaks so in in Buddhist vegetarianism is even crazier because you can't eat aphrodisiacs either cuz they're cuz they're emotionally charging so it's going to make you horny onions or uh things that like kind of get you going so onions are out of the question Garlic's out of the question onions gets you guys horny or what no no there's five there's specifically five things and I think leaks is one of them there's five things that in vegetarian Buddhist vegetarian restaurants they will not cook with those things so if you go to happy fam on Atlantic there's zero garlic in other food cuz there's those five things I didn't know that those were considered aphrodisiacs yeah

5:04 cuz ████ get you going or some ████ I don't know what the like it makes you want to fun cuz you're trying to remain peaceful you're trying to remain peaceful that's true cuz if you're a Buddhist monk trying not to jack off that makes sense you don't want like to eat a oyster and be hard all night yeah you know that's kind of rough if it's just you and your mom in the bed and we're just ever so slightly grazing each other couple years it's going to feel like but good thing but good thing we didn't have those vegetables so none of us were aroused no garlic around the house dude that must be rough oh man y garlic I can't imagine being a teenage no garlic dude dude I'd be like ████ horny and I'm like God I need to check off right now but I'll be so sinful maybe that's where my low tea came from from all the years of not not having the ingredients of tea I don't know dude could that be

5:55 linked that's probably it boys have you ever measured really high though in the past I never got it measured oh but yeah so so even smelling meat for the first time even opening like let's say Oscar Meer like ham sandwich meat I'd be like this oh what is this ████ ████ like it would be like just a crazy smell of meat yeah but I feel like Chinese Chinese veggies are fire still I feel like the way Chinese cook veggies but then now imagine your dinner is just five veggies it's like rice and then just five meal of veggies if I was going to be vegetarian though Chinese is the way to go Chinese or Indian that's I say Indochina like type cuz they can eat vegetables and it doesn't tastes like vegetarian like when you're eating American vegetarian stuff you're like Bland I don't want a ████ bowl of

6:45 salad every day pale bro it's like that's all you did steam it like that ████ whack like there's no ████ then after they start getting really creative and then so you eat stuff like uh you know like Lotus root like a wood ear like they have all kinds of crazy vegetables and that became my normal thing like just having I remember having my best friends over for dinner cuz you know like when you're kid you always want to share meals with your friends and then I brought two of my friends over and then the next day they told me never to invite them cuz they threw up ████ how do you throw up off of vegetables that's a weak ass stomach you're a kid I feel like if but then you go to your homies house and they got mac and cheese with sliced hot dogs inside like dude what the ████ is this next level ████ what was the foods you couldn't eat growing up for we were religious as hell so they adhere to all

7:35 of that stuff where you can't have so we ate red meat okay we ate like like beef we didn't eat pork we ate a lot of fish but mostly uh beef and fish no shellfish no no shellfish what about the sweet shrimp on the sushi you can't eat that then no shrimp no shrimp at all yeah wow but so my uncle was a pastor so when you go to his house it was strict like pescat oh okay our house we still ate red meat good compromise um or else you can't have Yoshinoya yeah no we love but also I was uh um I I was what do you call it like I was allergic to a lot of foods so I mainly ate fish beef and vegetables nice we couldn't even have like if something was cooked in lard you still couldn't have it oh my wow it doesn't matter if it's pork or beef lar or whatever uh if it was pork oil yeah you

8:27 could so none of the hostess products we could have w so like Twinkies dingdong there all of it has like a large fry oh it does yeah it says it says on the on the ingredients you know how like in the old old old testament they have like um unclean kind of foods right like they go you they have rules and then I think out of that like Muslims they created Halal and then like Jewish people they created like kosher yeah but then the seventh day at Venice we have a wonderful Prophet who had a dream about like all these ████ bad animals that like they were eating cloven hoof animals yeah and it had and then they had extra rules on top of it so it has to be like fish with gills I think oh no no um and then uh it that's why you can't eat catfish no Bottom Feeders no shrimp you can't do

9:18 that so you could eat like trout nothing that cleans the ocean yeah or it has to be fish with like scales what about like a halit is that halit that's okay isn't that like a bottom ocean type thing or no I don't know I don't think they're a bottom feeder though I think catfish is the main one you couldn't have yeah catfish like sea slugs whatever lobsters yeah yeah um I didn't know what a lobster even tasted like until after high school and did you like it after it's pretty good the Lobster's fire and then you had to have fire hoofs animals with hoofs and multiple stomachs yeah weird so no pork but you could do cow Dam and you know the the founder of Kelloggs the the cornflakes he's a Seventh Day Adventist and he was trying to develop some um unhorny Foods

10:09 so when young men ate it it'll chill them the ████ outow and so Corn Flakes was one of those what about the other animals like uh lamb or goats could you guys eat that stuff I'm sure but culturally Asians didn't eat it so like goats have hes right yeah I think other churches might eat it a h too it's like a it's like a has to have the split or something that's so hard I picture like one of those like uh I don't know what they're called zoologists or something MH and then you have like a church leader and you go and what about this uh no like what about this and you find one of those animals or like in between like a platypus what about this like that's when you know they're winging it winging well does look like a duck does look like a duck I feel like the church is

11:00 it own Foods though that is very unique to SDA like um fried chick you ever seen that it's just chicken that's not real like is this vegetarian chicken is it made out of gluten deep fried I never ate that we ate a lot of gluten like literal just like they would skim the top get gluten and they would make fried chicken kuragan stuff with that just the gluten yeah it's kind of it's kind of good actually it tastes like yeah like like a chicken nugget oh a lot of uh Chinese vegetan has gluten stuff like that too yeah and they'll make chicken nuggets out of that right also I think they had pretty fire like veggie patties before like Whole Foods and all that stuff had it oh yeah there was lots of yeah our whole school had had veggie burgers cuz they wouldn't Ser serve real

11:50 Burgers you can't eat red meat too they just don't serve it to the kids so you could bring whatever you wanted to to school you can bring your own lunch you could have you Burgers but they won't you want a black bean Patty for lunch they don't they don't serve meat for school lunches no yeah I remember going to my uncles's and then they're like we're going to make sandwiches and it was literally just sandwiches like with Alfalfa lettuce tomato pie of cheese and that was it yeah that sounds wack and I was like what the ████ where's the me there's even some people that don't eat fig newtons because there's a tiny percentage that there's going to be little creatures from the tree in there what you talking about cuz there's always a there's a slight chance that there's going to be a bug in the in the Fig you know how like there's different levels of vegan I feel like

12:40 SDA people try to outdo themselves of like what level of vegetarian you were like how far could the stick go up our ass yeah do they know that like as you sleep and ████ like that you eat like 17 spiders a year or something yeah you have to ask for forgiveness in the morning but they must be doing something right because you know L Melinda is a they live a long time how many football games do they win kind of stats they got on that they got hollow bones getting ████ crushed could you guys have Coke when you were kids Coca-Cola we could drink I mean sugar and all this stuff they I feel like they don't really have they didn't really regulate I couldn't have Coca-Cola unless it was like New Year's yeah what wait what was the reason for that I don't know my parents are ████ weird but did you have snacks and sugar and yeah yeah no we're garbage Southern garbage so like we ate like we had all kinds of ████ like ████ just

13:30 Coca-Cola that was the only thing yeah Coca-Cola I couldn't do any any um sodas until New Year's time it was a special occasion thing what about juice could you have tons of apple juice you could have juice yeah but just no sodas that's how we were too is the reason bro I don't know what if that's why you're so tall cuz it's actually good for you you think what if some days mom's like it was cuz you got so horny used to be ████ all the pillows in the house but obviously I went the other way like as soon as I became an adult I'm like ████ you guys I'm drinking zero all day ████ deal with it that was the only restriction you had dietary wise that's the one that sticks out of my brain where like I would go to friend's house and be like we can have Coca-Cola whenever we want get the ████ out of here you know like that it's like a New Year's champagne toast yeah legit legit seeing other people's Pantry

14:21 though did make me go oh man are we poor oh yeah cuz we probably had like different like high quality ████ it's just when you're a kid when you see like all the dopest snacks and everything like Twinkies little debes like you just go you're in ████ heaven right Twi was the main thing I was jealous of about everybody like Twinkies I wanted so bad is it because of the shape I just had it one time at I had it one time at school from some other kids lunch and I fell in love and I was just like oh my God can you bring more of these and then he just didn't have anymore and I was like dreaming of every day I do remember having either like ████ I forgot what it was what it was for maybe it was like you know we have to bring like earthquake kits or something and you you you put it you pack it with stuff that lasts forever and at the end of the year the teacher

15:11 gives it back to you and then a lot of my classes that you get to eat that for like lunch or whatever or get to share and I think that's when I had my first Twinkie or host this thing and I remember like getting ████ high like I at I'm like oh dude my ████ ears feel light or something maybe it fermented or something did you guys ever have that Little Debbie strawberry swirl one never had that no oh my God in heaven little debbi that ████ is insane the strawberry roll one right the little roll like a cinnamon roll but like in but strawberry roll with whipped cream did you did you think did you think ham and stuff was gross though I loved it oh you still loved all the things that we could Eon all that stuff oh wait wait ham like the veggie ham or you mean like ham like like pig pig h cuz you know the stuff cuz I grew up

16:01 thinking all that stuff was gross cuz I I never had it so I would look at it and go E look at that shrimp oh I think sometimes my parents couldn't read English right so like we would have baloney and I'm like this is tastes different I maybe I didn't know but you know how like they mixed pork chicken and whatever and baloney we would have that we would have salami with the you had spam we didn't have spam I never had spam until I went to Hawaii really spam so ████ ████ good I don't even have that palette the first time I had spam I mean I don't have like it I can't taste anything it just tastes like corn beef to me yeah it's about right that's a good count I can't even tell the difference first time I ate it was raw raw That's crazy cuz me and my Korean buddy was playing army so we would be like you act like those rations yeah he he had like a piece of spam and back
