0:00 I would love to be in a fight area. I just grab my Sony camera, put it on 120 fps, and just film with the whole thing in slow-mo. >> But then, are you on this cruise by yourself or are you with your wife? >> No, this one I have to be with the homies just in case we get into a fight. >> It seems like you're the people they don't want on this cruise. [Music] >> Have you guys um ever been on a Carnival cruise? >> Uh-uh. No, but Princess. >> Oh, we did Princess. >> Isn't that Is it Isn't that for older people? >> I found out too late. All cruises are almost >> Yeah, I found out way too late. We were the only young group there. >> Oh, man. Yeah. Well, there's a new um set of rules that they're implementing that people are uh saying are racist. >> What What is it, >> dude? Here we go.

0:50 >> Racist? What is it? >> Like Like, is it like no black people allowed? And then they're like, "That's racist." They're like, "How? It could be argued that some people would say it does have that tone, but uh so in case you you're not familiar, Carnival Cruise over the years has kind of built sort of like a negative reputation in the way that like um like they call it section 8 of the seas. >> What? >> Which is like really >> Holy ████ >> Yeah, it gets a lot of like roasting. Um >> section 8 of the seas. >> Yeah. I' I've never been on Carnival Cruise. This is all just me reading this article, but um here's the new rules that some people feel are targeting a specific race. >> Okay, I'll let you know if they are. >> Uh this one. Okay, here the first rule. Curfew for minors. Passengers under 18 must now leave public areas by 1:00 a.m.

1:42 unless participating in supervised activities or accompanied by an adult. >> Wait, how is that racist? >> Cruise. Cuz on a cruise, I feel like all everyone feels safe, so they let their kids run wild and then the parents do. >> That's like the advantage of being on a cruise. >> And then it says guests are also banned from running and making noise in hallways. >> How's that racist? >> Well, it depends what hallways. Cuz if it's like the dorm, you know, the rooms, >> I mean, I can see that. I >> tell you this though, if you are up 2:00 a.m. in the hallways of Circus Circus, it sounds different than the 2 a.m. in the hallways of the win. >> Yeah. And I there's a certain uh maybe maybe or maybe not. There's a certain skin color that likes to make different noises. >> Yeah. >> I never >> bunch of bunch of pale Irish men. >> Yeah. >> Uh so then here's another one. Uh they're banning Bluetooth speakers. It

2:33 says the use of personal speakers in public areas is no longer permitted. >> I'm dead. >> Everyone uses speakers. No. >> No. No. But not >> This is different. >> This is different. I'm telling you right now. This is different. >> Wait. What? So what? You have to have a plug-in one? >> Well, no. You just can't you can't play your own music blasting in a public area. >> You just can't be playing hip-hop and sea walking all over the ship. >> Yeah. Like why the ████ Nobody wants to listen to your music. Get >> I never thought about bringing your own music on a cruise ship. >> Well, you can't anymore. >> Oh yeah. >> Yeah. >> But in general, like why? Just get your headphones in. >> And then uh this one's strange. I don't really know what this one is. You can't have handheld fans anymore. >> What? >> Uh it says Carnival noted >> that's racist against Asian aunties. That's a >> It said Carnival noted that the non battery kind of fans used in social dances pose a safety hazard

3:23 >> like these ones. Like >> there's like a It said there's like a weird There's a Weird fan. >> Oh, that's towards Chinese people. >> That is That is Chinese people. >> It is. >> Yeah. The non pad battery powered. >> What is the weird fans that dance? What is that? Do you guys know when they're like that when they're doing the fan dance? So, I'm imagining a line of Chinese ladies doing >> Yeah, but you know, to be honest, I haven't seen Chinese ladies do that. Boots on the ground. >> I don't think it's a Chinese thing. >> Oh, really? Play some Terresa T with some fan ████ >> And then another one is um the cruise line says no more cannabis products are allowed on board. >> So, you can't smoke weed on the cruise ship. >> No blunts. I think >> if they're in international waters, is it illegal? >> Technically, so the uh the funny twist

4:13 to this is that like people are people were just calling it racist, but then people were also saying it's racist to call this racist because that's like you're pointing out that this points to one race. >> Yeah. >> So you just >> cuz I didn't even know these were stereotypes. >> Yeah. I think it's going over my head a little bit. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It's It's kind of a strange thing cuz I mean I'm not familiar with this uh with how the cruise ship actually is, but when you watch videos and like each of these rules has like the example of people doing it, >> but if I had the name the person that's doing all this, the name's going to be Jerome. >> Well, yeah. That's that's all the that's all the examples like on social media and even for the people that are upset about it are like, "Yeah, that's like it's obvious who they're talking about. >> That's not Peter Chen." But but then also at the same time people are like well then these are not I guess not good behaviors they want on the ship

5:04 regardless >> regardless >> I don't know when as soon as they said that it's the section section 8 of the sea that's when I was like oh it's just ghetto >> so if it's >> cuz if you think about Vegas right and all the different hotels it's like a clear example of who they're going for and it's not just like you know this is for the rich crowd this is for the middle class crowd. This is for the seniors. Like every hotel has a theme. Like if you think about the California hotel in downtown, it's all Hawaiians. Like they're looking for people that live in the state of Hawaii that come in, right? Circus Circus is just ghetto. Like in the stratosphere, they call it the ghettosphere. So it's like if you want to gamble and then you're low income, it's like but here's a way for you to still access Vegas. >> Like the motel, all that stuff. The win,

5:55 it's the ballers, right? the Venetian same like convention people ballers whatever so I think Carnival Cruise it's like yo you marketed and you made it low that's what I'm saying >> it's you that decided to you know service a certain group that's your fault >> it's like Frontier in a way to me >> yeah like you guys want to be a discount place who you think is going to come people that have discount prices like you know like that's that's what they could afford >> their whole life >> it's like if you're taking all their money and then you're telling like, "Oh, we don't want you guys." >> Yeah. >> But you're taking their money >> or don't don't even act like what you normally act like. Don't even enjoy what you normally do. >> It's like that's >> right. Right. Right. Right. Right. >> It's like then why don't you remodel your boat and service someone else? Like if Princess Cruises is known to uh

6:46 service like senior citizens, >> right? Then dude, they did that perfectly cuz when we went, they played YMCA like every ████ 30 minutes. >> The whole crowd, they were energetic. I never seen old people so hype, bro. They were they they had energy of a 20-year-old. And they >> handrails everywhere in case you lose balance. >> What up, guys?

7:36 >> dude. They were drunk and partying, man. Like they were I was like, "Wow." like this is where they, you know, so I'm like, >> yeah, that's where I'm like, race aside, it's like if if that's if that became your demographic for so long and they knew that and now suddenly they're like too good for it. >> Yeah. It's like ████ opening up a Dollar Tree and you're like, "Stop acting ghetto up in here." And it's like, "Motherfucker, you're a Dollar Tree." Like, "What the >> Or it's like Waffle House's reputation." >> Yeah. Like, "Stop fighting." And it's like, "No, this is the place where you eat and fight." Like fighters have to eat, too. >> They got to eat somewhere. >> Yeah, that's what that's is kind of like I think like I get it. I get that like any place where they're trying to make money, they want to uh I guess like they don't want to alienate a certain group that you know like like they're like, you know, all the rich white people are

8:26 going to want to come to the ship now. It's like they just, you know, be a different thing entirely. >> Yeah. Just be like Soul Plane. Like just straight up >> Soul Plane. just be like, "Dude, put that I don't know, make it leopard print purple and then put some rims on that ████ and go full on embrace it." >> It just feels weird not to change it all, but to ask everyone there to change. >> Yeah, that's weird. >> That's what I'm like. I don't know because then this is >> that like you said, when you look at the market of the ships, if it's that price point, what other what's the alternative if that's where they want to be, you know? >> Dude, a Asians need to own it. You know when Asians like open up businesses in like Latin neighborhoods or black or whatever, they start doing ████ They're like, "That's what you like?" Okay. >> Yeah. >> They don't ████ go, "No, you must take off your shoes when you come into

9:16 my store." You know, like they don't do that ████ >> Take off your shoes. >> You know, they're like, "Oh, Mexican people, they like a Lucas. I'm going to buy all kind of Lucas." >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Right. >> That's true. Right. So like that's that's I think that's what they should do is Carnival Cruise be like what do they like I think they're just doing it in the wrong order and they're doing it too obviously. >> I think you can covertly >> kind of almost trick people into behaving better by like having incentives instead of penalties. You know what I mean? Instead of being like no more this, no more that. It's like I don't know if you know who you're communicating to because if you have if you're talking to rule breakers already, what the hell are you what are they going to do? like just obey you. I would have been like this is a smokefest ████ carnival. It's kind of like a gay cruise. If you want to come here and

10:07 ████ dudes all day, this is the place to be. So, it's like, oh, instead of being like, no marijuana product, we're going to sell the don't bring your weed. We're going to sell the weed on this cruise when we're in international waters. We could smoke all you want. >> Businessman right now. >> Yeah. >> I think that they didn't I don't think they're doing it gradually enough, >> right? I think if they're going to say that, they should just word it like super like >> like how could they word it? >> Vocabulary change and everything. You know what I mean? >> How could they word it? >> I don't know. It sounds smart. Where where where they're like, "Huh? I don't know what that means." And then and then and then after that after that when they get in trouble, why is it here? And then you just pointed it out and then here's a fine >> without avoid and avoid all this. Oh, you're talking about the fine print ████ where we can't read this lawyer

10:57 talk and then we get in trouble for no reason. >> But I don't think those rule I don't know why but I don't see those rules as that racist and maybe I need more like clarification. But I do think they're dumb because those are all the things that you do on a cruise and what you expect when you go on a cruise >> in my opinion. >> Yeah. You you expect to party. You expect to Yeah. It's 24 hours. Like you're not going It's not like a resort. >> It sound And it sounds like Carnival Cruise especially like if that's the if that's the equivalent of like Frontier Airlines or >> Everybody knew Carnival was ghetto. Everybody's like the cheap booze cruise. Like that's the whole point. >> It's for like college kids that are on a budget that want to go to Cancun or whatever and ████ drink all day or whatever. And it's like >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It's going to attract a certain seems a little bit pretentious to just

11:48 be like, "We don't want to be like that anymore." But they're not changing anything about the ship. Just trying to change the people in it. >> Just do a quiet carriage like they do on a train and do it like at a discount. So you stay on this floor. You can't smoke weed. You can't do anything running around and it's like $50 cheaper or something and then do it that way. And then people who want to go there >> and then you could just slowly over time like have one quiet carriage than two quiet carriages. Oh, people really like it. We're doing three. And you just blame the customers like it's selling out. We have to expand it. >> You're a sneaky little. You need to present that to them. >> Yeah. They weren't sneaky enough because I know what they're trying to do, but it's like that was probably the most laziest way to do it. >> Yeah. Or have us have have different sections like the smoking section, the non-smoking. Yeah. >> Smoking and non-smoking was a really

12:39 kind of covert way to like separate classes. Yeah, >> I felt like the upper classes smoked. >> Yeah, I guess so. >> Cigars. >> Yeah, cigars. >> Maybe maybe Bluetooth is the new way. >> Would you guys ever do a cruise? >> No. >> I've done a few. >> I really >> I would only I I did it when I was in high school, but that's it. >> We went to Mexico. It wasn't the greatest >> because that's not a cruise that you're actually It's not for the destination. That's just like for the actual journey. Oh, okay. >> So, what is a good one that you've been on? >> Alaska. >> That's the one she wants to do. Everyone says Alaska's great. >> Let me tell you, that is the most senior ass cruise ever. It's really It's all old people. All retired. >> Old people clapping cheeks all day. Beautiful. >> I love old people. >> Oh my god. >> Yeah. I rather be around old ass ████ I'm old as ████

13:29 >> dude. The scenery is ridiculous. >> How long does it take to go from LA to Alaska? >> You fly up to Seattle. >> Oh, you fly to Seattle first. I would just rather be on any cruise where people aren't fighting. >> Yep. >> Well, that's that's like going to a hockey game and not looking for a fight. >> Honestly, people are fighting on Alaska cruise. >> No, no. Like, no, no, no, no. Oh, yeah, that's true. Okay, you're right. There is no fighting on Alaska. >> I didn't see any at least. >> I would love to be in a fight area. I just grab my Sony camera, put it on 120 fps, and just film with the whole thing in slow-mo just to film it in slow-mo. See what the reactions are. How did they throwing punch? Just kid. Just for fun. But then are you on this cruise by yourself or are you with your wife? >> No, this one I have to be with the homies just in case we get into a fight. >> It seems like you're the people they don't want on this. I'm just I'm just a

14:20 filmer.
