0:00 [Music] welcome back to an exciting episode of the careful boys and yes there's a geo here there's a geo we have a a lady with a massive clip that fits in with us oh how do you know about my clip bro welcome to the show bro and today we got brandon lee in the house [Applause] just to clarify he's not the lady with the massive clip that joe's talking about he's actually really cool so brandon welcome to the show man how you doing i think you're doing good good man good brandon is a undefeated professional boxer right 24 so i heard and you know why because every time i look at instagram some uh fighters will pop up because i'm into you know the the
0:50 male sports and then um when i saw him i was like yes because every time i see an asian ████ push it down i'm like yes i'm too ████ scared to do that ████ but ████ i've lived vicariously through you man ████ it up that's the perfect turn to me like yeah when you see asian dudes that are like into cosplay and stuff do you go [Laughter] like i feel like everyone's like everyone has their own thing i'm in the cosplay hey good answer no you're just nice are you into cosplay at all would you ever consider that i mean that's not that's not my thing but i mean if you like that go ahead because i see asian dudes at comic con i'm like why man what and then i'm like hi bart be more like him dude dude do that kind of thing my crew does cosplay i don't know he goes through there because he's
1:40 booked to ████ speak at comic con and he's judging everybody there why is that's here he's just shaking his head the whole time like these ████ people he's asian he's asian back to the boxing let's uh back to the boxing i do want to say though that this is for asian person this is like the equivalent of making it on joe rogan it was a big deal yeah that's just pretty big welcome welcome to the asian rogan show he's like ████ who booked me on this ████ you know what's funny though is like the first the first thing anthony asks brandon's like hey you ever seen one of these episodes goes nope and i was like i love this dude already there's people be like yeah man it's ████ dope and i'm like get your hollywood ass out of here you don't ████ know what we do here actually like a year and a half ago maybe two years i was at um i think i was like a blaze piece of biology and this kid came up to me
2:31 i went to i went to school with him and then i haven't seen him for a while and he's like i heard i heard you on a bar kwon's broadcast i was like what and he's like yeah they were talking about you what and he was like i was like what and then um he's back talking ████ yeah that's in the back i'll beat his ████ ass that's like he's here right now they're talking about me and then or you guys i was just ████ around dude don't take it seriously dude he always talks about how he kicked your ass crazy i don't know i think he was asking like oh how do i know you or some ████ like that i was like oh we just connected through ig but yeah i thought it was pretty dope yeah yeah i saw you like yeah i saw on the explore page i'm like what the ████ this is crazy and that's how i think i reached out instagram explorer dude i bet you anything because you guys are liking his videos that ████ pops up on mine probably oh cause that's where you saw him on the explore page of instagram i'm glad we're talking that's right
3:25 he hears about you through the explore page every time you do pop up though i'm like mad props like like like yup and i get distracted to be honest there's like a hot girl and then when they pop up i get distracted and it's hard to compete i follow them instead i'm sorry you're competing against boobs man it's kind of hard to do uh so when did you when did you get into boxing like that that's what geos y'all um thank you i started training at the age of six but i've been in the boxing gym since age two and i had my first amateur fight at age eight oh ████ wait did you say two i've been in the boxing gym since two years what does that mean like you've been observing or you've just been ████ around ████ people just observing ████ around uh because my older brother he's 90 years older than me so i used to go to the gym with him and um he used to be like training and i just watched and you know just trying to mimic him playing right now
4:16 was he like your first inspiration to get into boxing yeah by far yeah probably how come you made it he didn't then [Music] [Laughter] so disappointed i think uh asian dad questions that's what he was saying on the podcast by the way i think probably our stars are totally different he had more like a punch of style and um i think in boxing oh you have to explain that to everybody everything is punching right because when i hear that i'm like that's a punchy style more like yeah like more like a coming forward mike tyson style like oh gotcha i feel like my style is like more i could come forward or like a box you could do both yeah finesse yeah it all depends like on my opponent and i just feel like uh i'm so not a fighter so like when you say i can come forward or i can box what does box mean relationship the box is like i can move around like i could be
5:06 like a mayweather got it i can move around i can counter punch like come forward apply pressure so all depends on my opponent um and plus i think i had like more opportunity and more experience in the because i said i had a close to 200 amateur fights damn yeah so so when did your brother stop going then they like aged he stopped like age 16 or something and then he started again he stopped again like a year later because he fought you and he was like ████ that ████ i suck no i think i really think that uh it was kind of like what you said earlier about applying that with your son i think my my dad was too hard on him at first i burnt him out maybe huh so he burns him out so i think when he's when he started with me he kind of it on a different path yeah every time you win then does your dad look over to your brother and just have a tear no
5:57 like would you regret it i ████ up on the first one or did you tell your brother to hop over the ropes we wanted this together just crying is your papa your coach yeah okay yeah this is day one do you ever look at other coaches and like yo pops that guy's kind of better than you man that's what he does that's what this guy does we went to go see a coach one time um i remember i made my television debut back in 2019 and we had hella people reach out to us and one of the coaches was buddy mcgirt oh really yeah so he's like a big time coach and he reached out to us and we went to go work with them for i think we went like we one time and uh we worked with them and then we went back home and me and my dad were talking like damn the same things that i did with him you and i are doing it so what's the
6:47 point of switching it up so that's tight yeah so can you walk us through like a training day or something like that when i'm in camp or not i can't when i'm when i'm training in cabin okay let's do ink oh wake up five o'clock go for a run how long just two miles uh come back make some breakfast make my dad some breakfast he'll go to work what's your breakfast like is it like diet or is it like cereal like kimchi and fun off camp oh i'll ████ wake up make ramen or in camp i'll probably eat like three pieces of bacon a piece of bread and one egg um and i'll probably just chill go grocery shopping clean the house try to work off my breakfast and then i'll probably go take a nap wake up uh you take a nap right after you wake up i like to sleep okay he's a professional athlete bro
7:40 he's at the peak performance he's got a he's got a champ dude that's why you're messing up so when i wake up from my nap i love how he has he ran but he hasn't got to the workout yet yeah he's just just like a chill down no dude when he goes jogging he beats up every other jogger he leaves i wake up from my nap i probably do like so i also go to cal state san bernardino so i'll probably last semester i didn't go to school too wow so what are you studying criminal justice oh ████ no way so i wake up maybe i'll do a class or i might just skip the class for the day that's what i like to hear dude good for you man i'll either our last cap i went out to eat a lot for lunch so i went to go get like a little steak some potatoes some asparagus and then for dessert if i have like creme brulee damn you fancy i like that that's like a
8:30 solid day details right now making you feel like how do you crack the creme brulee like i just thought you could crack it so so this is a better question like what's your how different is your life off camp versus in camp a lot different yeah oh yeah so what's in camp and off camp um what do you mean like for the people who don't know and me too including one has cereal one has bacon yeah yeah so one so pretty good camp is like everything's serious i don't go out no more because are you training for a fight or like yeah you got to make weight or whatever i'm training for a fight i got to make weight my mentality is totally different i'm watching more film um i'm not going out when i'm out of camp i'm going to irvine once a week to go eat i'm doing podcasts yeah i'm waking up whenever but do you still train like like like right yeah right now i'm still training five days a week but it's not as not any
9:22 clothes as heavy as i'm in camp so after my class uh i'll get lunch and then after that i'll chill my dad come home we'll work out and then after that i go run three miles or four miles so you're going to twice a day why he needs those extra naps bro and that's just not even part of the training it's just that's just you just have to run those two times it's not even part of the the myth and just to get the cardio yeah and then so i'd be like a monday or that'd be like a monday and or that'd be like that'll be like a tuesday and thursday a monday is kind of similar but i go sparring so what do you do for fun what do you do to unwind after outside beat people up that's that's one side of it but what's the other what's the other side yeah like your vice yeah yeah something i like to do is cook but i can't really cook one on the cup why not because i'm i gotta watch one of these but like off camp though you enjoy
10:12 cooking oh that's cool what's your favorite dish i'll see like chicken wings or something i'm like damn that sounds good so i'll make that i can make like shrimp tacos chicken parmesan wings whatever i know today's video is brought to you by bon bon's mission it's simple make the most comfortable clothes ever and match every item sold with an equal item donated so when you buy bone bust you're also giving to someone in need boom buzz designed their socks shirts and underwear to be so comfortable that you can't wait to put it on every day everything they make is soft seamless tagless and has a luxuriously cozy feel they're made from super soft materials like merino wool pima cotton and even cashmere which makes them perfect for those cozy winter layers there's a pair of bomba socks for

12:45 like there's this huge pressure of losing ever you know i mean like because it's almost like like let's say you get to like 30 40 and you haven't had a single loss like you always hear fighters go oh man that like loss took away is that is he being a ████ he says that i feel right now like if manny pacquiao were to lose it's like who cares yeah he lost so many times ready no if i were to lose right now it'd kind of be like oh he wasn't that good anyway it kind of they're so disloyal boxing fans are hella i mean there's been times not like laker fans there have been times where you go to a fight and they'll be let's say you're from let's say you're from this city they'll be cheering you on and let's say you're getting beat up now they're they'll start booing you it's crazy or they're starting for the other guy does that uh ignite your fire more where you're like ████ you then and
13:35 then you just go balls i do have like a lot of a lot of doubters out there so i while i'm training is like of course i want to win but the same time i have like something to prove how obsessed are you about your opponent when you're in camp do you like think about them every i'm gonna beat the ████ out of this much i do think about him every day but it's not like i'm gonna beat him up it's more like what can't what can i do that's better than him you know so like i look at every aspect of fashion to him i'm tired of him i'm better looking at him hell yeah on everything wow it's interesting what motivates different people because um we did mma and our karate teacher did a full contact karate competitions and he told us that when he went up the way he prepped is he would walk up and imagine that his opponent raped his sister so he would walk up to him and say why did you rape my sister and then ████
14:26 they're standing together and he's like what what like he would chant that like why did you work with my sister why'd you like he would say that and the circuit that he fought in was like it's called the tsubaki challenge it's like very small right it's all bragging rights like it's there's no trajectory for that career but for him it was like winning a ████ gold medal at the olympics maybe that's like the you know i feel like as men we all kind of have like ego maybe that's part of it or something yeah but it's an old school like mentality i'm going into battle i'm gonna kill it's like method acting right but fighting he's a down day lewis karate daniel i mean there's a lot of things that motivate me a lot of things but i could say that one of the things is like they want to eat or don't want to starve so i guess it kind of be like the same thing we use survival yeah for him it's anger everyone's motivated by different things yeah for you it's like after this i'ma get chicken wings
15:16 right and then for him it's more like i don't want to die when you're in the zone what kind of stuff like can derail you wait are you working for the other side you're gonna trap him you're gonna you're gonna watch this ████ ████ trap his ass watch out for bart dude if you had a weakness that you could exploit right now as a boxer for example like for example um when she used to be on the show very regularly like you know we're we're both castmates but we're also significant others right so in the morning we would have a like no ████ policy because we need to bring our a game to whatever our sport that we play right which is common i know ████ like no fighting like you keep it if it's something that's dumb someone forgot the like toilet seat or just things that it used to you would nitpick about it's like doesn't ████ matter let's get our asses here and we're gonna have a good day that's all that matters
16:06 right any tiny little thing that we would have usually bickered about doesn't matter like for you is there like a these are the x y and z things i got to do to make sure i have a like a good day or do you like if you like stub your toe on the couch like ████ man ████ my training i feel like the day of the fight as long as i have a good breakfast a decent lunch i'm good to go um that's all that matters like road rage someone else is ████ with built different does it doesn't affect you that's why he's 25 it's funny because i had i had my buddy drive up my car uh because he went to my fight i had to drive with my car and i texted him i was like if anything happens you crash someone hits you don't tell me it's after the fight gotta stand up don't tell me until after the fight bro your next opponent's about hey you're
16:56 home you crashed your car because it's so important to stay in the zone yeah i mean i don't want no distractions i don't want i don't want to think about anything that doesn't need to be thought over in the moment how come you decided the pro route instead of the olympic route so i would have made the 2020 olympics and i wanted to go to the olympics but the thing was that when you turn 17 when you go uh to uh international tournaments they take they took off the headgear oh so i figured if ████ if i'm gonna get hit with all the headgear might as well get paid for it um and i'm glad i did turn pro cause you know the olympics got delayed yeah decision and that's true yeah yeah because you don't get money off of that brandon how many times do you want to fight this year 2022 three times three times yeah three times so when you when the head cure comes up obviously more risk right so you got to be like more strategic and selective
17:46 with who you fight when you fight how many how many times you fight exactly well uh so in the amateur games the dudes i fighting with no headgear you're finding the best of the best everyone from i mean you find the best dudes so you got to watch your elbows you got to watch your head butts and let's say let's send me bart fight he'll kick his ass for sure let's say we fight let's say we fight but he gave me a cut i can't fight something for it i cannot well i'm supposed to move up because i won i can't fight tomorrow because now i have a cut so now he goes what even though you beat me damn that's crazy i think at least i think so yeah it works like this just throwing elbows everywhere dude how do matchups happen uh for you nowadays like how does that even happen in the system of that um i have a manager so my manager handles all that are they looking for
18:36 uh a specific type of person they're they're are they always trying to go up a ladder or they're like are there like training bouts because you know you're trying to go up to another guy like how is that systematically um it all depends because so there's four main world titles in the professional boxing game wbc ibf uh wba wbo so right now i'm number nine by the ibf so that so that means that potentially i can fight for ibf world title in the next couple fights you're a top 10 guy now exactly so all depends which direction you want to go um which one do you want first i feel like any world title would be you know a huge accomplishment just because i mean as soon as you become a world champion you make history books so i feel like so i'll be happy to have anyone yeah i got i got a question so so you you're you're close to your dad right and he's your coach what if one day to take it to the next
19:26 level you got to get another coach and then what do you think your dad would say would you you think he'll be like no ████ that we're going to ride or die together or would you do you think he'll be like nah you gotta do this of course my father always wants the best for me but i feel like like i said i mean we're very experienced with other coaches and if it's not broken why fix it um my father is getting older he's like he's gonna be 55 this year he only weighs like 140 pounds so obviously he can't hold the mitts for me or he can't hold like the heavy punches for me so i have i have an assistant coach and he does all the heavy lifting pretty much i see but it's his strategy his like training his strategy um i mean he'll be sitting down on the chair and he'll be looking at everything but at the same time it's good to have my second coach because there's times where there's stuff that my dad doesn't see that he sees and your dad was a
20:17 boxer too oh what do you feel like uh is like your dad's strengths as a coach specifically him um just be my father he just knows what to push knows knows what's i mean uh you know it sounds weird but like think of me as a robot he knows what created me so he knows what i'm capable of so when i'm when i'm having a bad day or something he knows i'm better than that so he tells me he tells me what we need to work on so i could go have you ever trained before and then going hard to look always knocked out he's like ████ i'm trying to show you there's times where i'll be ████ jump roping like going hard he's like on his phone like see ████ all right hit that girl he'll just get up and go smoke a cigarette or something
21:07 you mentioned you mentioned that there was another coach that entered the picture that you guys were kind of like dabbling about like considering working with him who's this other coach uh buddy mcgirt so he used to be a fighter as well and uh he's he's worked with a lot of big names what's the most notable people that hit workplaces on top of my head recently uh sergey kovalev he fought canelo yeah he's a russian dude snap but he's fine he's ████ he's worked with uh old timers oh okay just for fun if you could fight anybody in the world who would be anybody probably logan paul oh ████ oh go get why not jake paul oh no uh jake paul only because like people a lot of people think that they're actual boxers you know yeah
21:57 and um just because you started boxing a year ago doesn't make you a boxer yeah i mean there's mice including myself we've been doing this since the age of you know six years old all our life that's all we know yeah and for them to just hop in the game and and be the main event i don't think it's right for the other for the boxing community do they kind of like look down at that like who the ████ are these ████ a lot of people do but at the same time a lot of people are saying oh yeah it's good for the sport but at the same time i'm like i don't know it's like it brings new eyes but at the same time it disrespects all the hard work you guys put in in a way yeah but um so my assistant coach he took his son to uh when logan paul fought ksi and uh logan paul was the main event and then devin haney was the co-main event so devin he's a legit boxer he's a good boxer yeah i think he's a he's a world
22:47 champion he has like a wbc he has a wbc uh belt i guess the the crowd there wasn't me watching them any they were just on the phone like ████ vlogging or whatever yeah and then of course when logan fought then so they're not going to hear supportive boxing they're just here supporting uh you just want to see does that increase the purse though like because the sponsorship gets higher so then therefore that's when it's kind of good for the sport i really don't know i did i did hear that logan paul or jake paul threw an extra 50 at people's purses on his last fight that's kind of tight that's pretty cool that's kind of tight do you think like the paul brothers get into boxing is kind of like dennis rodman playing basketball address that's wrong is good though never mind he was even better that is bad but paul brothers you heard it here brandon lee's coming for you and if that's not cool we can edit that out yeah yeah let us know man
23:39 [Music] you
