0:00 A lot of Japanese people don't speak Japanese. And the reason why is cuz like there's no usage. >> Well, the best thing is you can watch uh and understand manga and anime. >> Yeah, but if I'm not jacking off, it doesn't matter >> what. >> I mean, isn't that what it is with the tentacles and all that? >> That's called hentai. >> That's called manga, dude. What are you talking about? Read a book, will you? Welcome back to another episode of the careful boys where question is, what is a cultural or family tradition that we are now glad to ditch? >> Now glad to >> beating the kids. >> No, no, no. That's okay. >> Oh, okay. >> Uh, I think speaking Japanese. >> You don't want to speak Japanese? >> What? You trying to ditch that?
0:50 Wait, you don't want to speak Japanese? >> Wait, can we explain why we're laughing? >> That's hell funny. >> So, we we have we're doing this video over. So, basically, we're deja vuing. Last time he said beating the kid. >> I said beating the kid. >> I thought he was going to say it again. >> What are like your family or cultural traditions that we are now glad that we're willing to ditch? >> Beating the kids. >> I thought you said you want to do that. >> You're willing to ditch that? >> Well, it's cuz Anony's mic fell off. the way you wanted. >> He didn't say it. So Steve said it for me changing his answer. >> No, cuz I thought it was so much funnier to do it this way. >> The acting. Yo, that's what you should appreciate. Watch his acting when he goes hm. >> By the way, >> if you're playing Mafia with Joe later, remember that? H cuz that's a guilty boy. >> Okay. So you think the speaking Japanese
1:40 that's you're glad to ditch that. You don't want to pass on. >> He's just ████ improving it. Come on. >> I I No, I want to keep it. >> Come on. >> I want to keep it. I do. I do. I think my I think they'll be mad. >> I just did that one for you guys. >> That's pretty funny. >> Well, now they now at least they can be let in on >> people will be confused cuz like Steve never got beat. >> I know, right? >> Yeah. >> But do you guys think the legit question like as we Americanize, right? A lot of Japanese people don't speak Japanese. The reason why is cuz like there's no usage. Like I get if you live in LA and you speak Spanish, like it's helpful because like you could get a lot done. You could do business with the Spanish community, whatever. >> Well, the best thing is you can watch uh and understand manga and anime. >> Yeah, but if I'm not jacking off, it
2:30 doesn't matter. >> What? >> I mean, isn't that what it is with the tentacles and all that? >> That's called hentai. >> It's called manga, dude. What are you talking about? Read a book, will you? But do you guys really think I mean like Taika doesn't speak Chinese or Mexico. >> Wish he did. >> You wish, but then like it bec. It's kind of like out of the way is what I'm saying. >> But didn't you guys like do that and it just didn't really work out. >> No, we just I think it's on us. We just didn't stick to it enough. Yeah, >> cuz I'm saying like how the practicality of it, right, is like yeah, you could learn another language, but it's like the reason why we don't hold on to it is cuz there's no point in using it. That's also because most Japanese people that end up in America learn English >> and it's no different than like I learned hella Spanish but I failed it four times. But like I have never had to
3:20 use it in like 30 years or whatever. >> So why would I remember that ████ >> But then to be honest, if so many people like Mexicans came to America and didn't keep speaking Spanish, >> would Spanish really be that useful in California? >> No. Because it's because it's useful because there's so many Spanish speakers. Yeah, exactly. >> Well, that's not the right question. The the question is more like if you didn't fail it four times and you were proficient at it, >> yeah, >> would you randomly actually be like, "Oh, this is useful." >> So, I had to use it one time when I my my car had uh two pop tires and I had to talk to the tow truck driver and I was using Spanish, >> but he was Armenian, so it didn't work. >> And yeah, he was Yeah, >> he's Armenian. >> Oh, he was a he was a sp he was a Spanish dude. He was a Mexican dude. And that helped me a little bit, but he was sort of like like
4:10 he looked at me like I failed Spanish four times like as I'm trying to say ████ But he knew what I was talking about. >> He's probably going to have an easier time understanding English >> honestly. Exactly. So, exactly. >> Higher. I'm sure he knows what that is. >> Well, no, but I was talking to him and it was like talking to like a bookcase for like probably 3 minutes and then I realized, oh ████ What were you trying to say to him besides that >> two tires? >> So the tow truck guy is basically like where do you want this car towed is what he's asking you. >> Um he was asking me if I had my keys and >> yeah like or he was he's basically saying if I could leave my keys on the tire overnight then he could tow us to a spot where he has a buddy who could hook us up. >> Oh. And it and I understood enough to know that that was Gucci because I failed Spanish four times and I just got
5:01 enough out of it. >> Oh, I see. Okay. >> That's cool. >> To know if not for that, I'd been >> you just be clueless, >> right? And then like we didn't have like translators or anything like that. This was like in 2012. >> So like yeah, thank God for that. >> Or if we lived a um a lifestyle that was supported the practicality of it. M >> so like for example um our my old neighbor all his kids spoke Spanish and so uh cuz his dad played basketball in Spain. So to keep that up even though he doesn't play basketball in Spain anymore every summer they spend the whole summer in a Spanish- speaking country >> to keep that up. >> So if we did that thing >> Yeah. So if I >> Well that's enriching in general. >> Yeah. So, so if we did that, right? Like, let's say we made it a thing. Every summer, cuz that's what I did. And I think that's why my Mandarin is so
5:52 good. Every summer we go to Taiwan and every winter we go to Mexico. There'd be a reason why Tao would keep it up because when we do travel, >> his vocabulary for those things like goes through the roof. Like all of a sudden, he could say sentences and Mandarin and all that and then as soon as you come back here, he just forgets everything because we're not really using it. >> Yeah. Yeah, I was hanging with a couple that um they had their their kid watch Bluey and Mexican just to piss everybody in the room off. >> Was it Azuli? >> It was just so weird and annoying. It's like I get it. You're getting your kid in touch with your culture and ████ Your kids's not going to remember this ████ in two ████ years, but go for it cuz cuz it's a it's a dedication thing. You have to be committed to it like in a way that like I don't think is going to work in America, brother. I just don't think it's gonna work. Aren't there already like Mexican cartoons to watch that are not
6:42 >> the dub? Bluey retraining. >> Every kid wants to watch Bluey, dude. So deal with it. >> Cuz I think the reason why we did it cuz we had family members that couldn't speak English. So that's why it was practical cuz it's like I could I could communicate to them. >> But that's funny cuz if it's for you as a parent, then just give them the real Mexican culture and give them Mexican shows. >> Amen. >> Cuz that's not the culture. That's just a re-ransated dub. But like there's so many good weather girls on Mexican TV channel. They're always speaking Spanish and they could you could learn a lot. >> I'd rather do that than Blueie. >> I'll be glad to be rid of the Saturday. You can't do anything that doesn't have to do with the Lord rule. >> Oh, that's Saturday's like the best day in a kid schedule. >> Years of my life. That was the drill. Every Saturday. >> So Saturday morning, you couldn't even watch cartoons.
7:32 >> No, that's that was my big gripe. I I've never I never even seen one. >> Never saw X-Men 97. >> No, I That's the thing. That was the big >> X-Men 97 wasn't there at that time. It was just >> It was called X-Men. >> It was just called X-Men. But I know what you're talking about. Yeah, >> cuz X-Men 97 is today's >> I'm making it relevant for these ████ watching, not for you. >> He's giving a crutch. Basically, they already know if >> No, these ████ watching this. >> Yeah. No, I that's why I was sad because people would talk about it at school that did see it and whose parents weren't supervising them on Saturday and I would be so jealous. See, when I get to see it, it was cuz I did weekend sleepovers at someone's house. >> Yeah, I know. I never got to do that. So, then I had to watch everything later. But they just It served No, it did no good. >> No, >> it didn't make me closer to God. It made me hate him. >> It didn't It made me mad. >> It made me so anti-religious. It's like the perfect If you want any like kid
8:24 generation to completely hate your religion, >> do it on Saturday morning cartoon. Yeah. They'll be like, you're just going to be like for the rest of your life, ████ this religion, dude. >> It just goes back to the thing Steve was saying before about how like it's it's big. It's a bigger deal to be able to fit in with all other 29 kids in your class. Like, if I'm the only one that I don't even know what they're talking about, like, >> oh yeah, >> that is like detrimental on my >> You're chosen, >> bro. Imagine your first day of school. You turn the kid next to you, you're like, did you see Roman the Bronx last night? That's Tao right there. >> Like come on, dude. It's 2025, bro. Like >> Chong Lee. Chong Lee. At least say Squid Game or something. Like goodness something. >> Crazy. He doesn't care about that stuff. >> I don't know. But you know what I'm saying? >> That's like cuz I'm That's what I'm worried about cuz he likes weird ████
9:14 So he has a stuff. >> But you kind of made him like weird ████ >> No, no, no, no. He likes weird ████ >> But weird's not bad in some some respects. He he does have he is tapped into what the kids are on these days like the brain rots and stuff. So I'm okay cool. He has the pop culture social fabric stuff Roblox >> and then he has his own choices and he likes the weird ████ right? Like the Captain Sububasa thing. And so I asked him, I was taking him to school one day and I was like, >> "Hey, like does does anyone else watch Captain Subasa with their friend?" He goes, "I don't know what they watch." I'm like, "What the hell?" I'm like, "Do you care like that? Like what you watch cuz like do your friends watch it?" goes, "I don't think they do. I like it." And I'm like, "That's interesting." >> So, you know, the difference is he's got a bakedin insurance plan with Taika, that is like bar none. >> What's the bakedin insurance plan? >> Because like if you're not in tune with the rest of your classmates, your age
10:04 group, right? That is grounds for the only fear of that is being isolated or bullied. But then if you're in jiu-jitsu and you whoop that person's ass, he's a trends setter. Basically, >> it doesn't matter. >> No, you still need friends. >> No, you do. You You go to the ground, dude. You just take him to the ground. Well, the difference is you know who you know what Tao's best friends are? >> His parents. We didn't have that. Oh, that's true. Yeah. >> No, we we were in fear of them and they were so lame. >> Yeah. His heart's already full, so he doesn't care. >> That's crazy. >> I remember my dad made me cry when I got Back to the Future on VHS. >> Why? I mean, >> cuz I asked my mom to buy it and then uh when I when he got home, he said he didn't say I could buy that. >> Wait, what? What's wrong with Back to the Future? >> It's fair. >> It was just the the the cassette movie from Sam Goodie. Probably wasn't even
10:54 that much. >> So, he had to return it or did you get to watch? >> No, I got to keep it, but he he went >> he like scolded the ████ out of me for and I was like I didn't understand what the big deal was. >> It's crazy. It's crazy to get scolded as a child for something that like you couldn't have done without your mom anyway. >> I think he was just in a bad mood and just took it out on me. >> And I remember not being able to have things just because you're not able to have things. The the wilder part is thinking that like 30 plus years later that's a core memory for you. >> Yeah. Hey dad, this is a core memory. >> Core memory for me is we always lost the gray remote. And my dad would come home, Sherry, where's the ████ gray remote? >> It was like this big. How do you lose it? Sherry, where the ████ is the gray remote? And like we're like, a ████ we lost it again. What do we do with it
11:44 this time? Yeah, it's always us. There's so many kids to look for it, >> right? Cuz so by the time we got home, my mom was watching my mom was watching Oprah. She picks us up and she comes back home and Oprah's done. So who has the gray remote? The kids do. So we're just like, "F███, did I use the gray remote as a space blaster?" >> Oh, >> you know what I mean? We're like, "Oh ████ I think Kenny used it as a gun earlier." And did you guys have multiple remotes? Like >> No, it was one is >> Oh, that's it. >> TV remote. That's all you got. It's >> so easy to lose that. >> And at the time there was no like like you got to go to Radio Shack or some ████ to find a remote that you could program your ████ We didn't do that. My dad could have done that, but it's the principal. Where's the ████ gray remote? >> So funny. >> Yeah. So it's just like, "Oh ████ we lost it again, dude." >> It's funny because that problem hasn't
12:35 really been solved truly like futuristically. By the way, it got worse cuz Apple TV came out and they came with this little s█████ little ████ tiny little ████ This is the remote. It's this big and it's like and it's it's like made out of metal so it slides right through your couch cushions to the ground or whatever. So, you're extra ████ with it. >> Put a like a rubber cover for it that you get on Amazon for like $3. >> It's still small, man. >> It's still small. >> I'm a factory guy. >> You know, just use your phone afterwards. >> That's whack. >> All right, whatever. My whack.
