0:00 cuz like a lot of La Asians are actually pretty like reserved you know like we're just like like everyone's kind of like all Wang Fu and ████ like oh I'm not I don't want to offend you don't offend me let's all be Phil Wang together Phil I love you but like everyone's like that right like everyone let's just drink drink my Boba half sweet of course not too much [Music] flavor and welcome back everybody to a very Vietnamese episode of the careful featuring to the B so question for you okay you've obviously been back to Vietnam is it a couple times now yeah literally two trips you've taken a group of people yep what what is that about by the way um so the goal of doing that was just to connect people to my culture and to show people like what Vietnam is all about
0:50 because like when I say Vietnam I feel like people think that it's like this third world country where we live in ████ huts and ████ and they don't realize like it's a really like fast Pac like country and we're developing so quick about to be superpower come on for real yes give it like 5 10 years dude so much business is moving there the skyline in Saigon looks exactly like the skyline in New York like it's crazy and so I wanted I wanted people to like really experience that and so like I just wanted to bring a group of people to like really soak it in because it doesn't you can listen to me talk about it all day but it it you can't really feel it unless you're there how do I become a part of the tour group that's too much liability for her man yeah she's not going to take you I have insurance um I've been to Vietnam thank
1:40 you very much have you been to the motherland yeah it's my motherland not yours okay for a temporary time Japan colonized it so okay it's kind of why don't you take him liability dude I don't have Jo I've been there before so I won't be that different okay it's not going to be that he'll behave I know people there okay well from all of your Vietnamese experience T don't count for you that's hilarious I love TK yeah we love TK how do you know TK I feel like everyone the dance world who doesn't who doesn't know TK yes I'm like oh my God the wild Bo doesn't know who TK in Skylight love you TK I don't know who TK is yeah you do you know you'll meet him Tony wi dude wow what a loser he's Vietnam's Tony Robbins all right he really is he basically is ████
2:30 he's super tall he's way taller than me he's so tall really anyways um so what is the biggest difference between Vietnamese people in Vietnam and Viet American people great question oo do you consider yourself a Vietnamese person from Vietnam yes how long were you born there yeah I was born how long I mean how long did you live there I lived there for 8 years and I was born there I went to school there you still like vietamese Pride American I'm vietamese as ████ okay if you have a fish sauce I think you're V yeah dude for real the funny thing is my buddy moved here like younger than you but he has a Vietnamese accent and I'm all like how why is he practicing it I think it's just like it comes down to application because I learned Vietnamese or I learned English through watching a lot of television and when I watch TV I would repeat what people would say and
3:20 how they would say it and I feel like that's what really helped me but to answer your question um I think Vietnamese people over over here have a more traditional mindset versus Vietnamese people over in Vietnam wow more traditional here yes what do you mean by traditional like they're like they're very stuck to like if you don't do it like how you know like we used to do it back then like that's you doing it wrong but over in Vietnam they're very open-minded experimenting they P especially like with food and stuff like can I say something about Vietnamese culture even though I'm an outsider yeah I agree because I was shocked I thought thought Vietnam would be full of conservative and like but everybody from their mama was tatted up fashionable they look dope and I was like whoa cuz
4:11 when I'm in OC I thought everyone's very religious and like they're covered up and then I was like oh when I go to Vietnam it's probably going to be even more hardcore like that but it wasn't there's so many people that are modern in the South I feel like up north is a it's a bit more conservative oh I never been to Han I went to Hanoi for the first time ever and it was honestly like a culture shock for for me yeah Hanoi is ████ dope though H what was the culture shock I just how conservative it was and how militarized it was really yes what does that mean like what was the like there were police officers on every corner with like just actual weapons straight up these babies and like they it just felt just more like you you didn't feel free like in Saigon it's like the city that never sleeps in
5:02 anoi it sleeps at like 11:00 you know there's like not really like a night life compared to Saigon oh really is that is that your Vietnamese American side calling it Saigon kind of yeah I guess but honestly like in Vietnam nobody even calls it hoian ████ yeah so is it like what do they call it HCM cuz a lot of my friends ride at HCM hm do you feel like uh Vietnamese Americans make safer choices is that what you mean by traditional like in terms of life decisions like paths yes yeah interesting or is it also potentially like like traditional because we're holding on to a culture that our parents brought over so there's no concept of progression it's just about remembering like what they came from whereas over there they don't have to remember they're there still exact so anything
5:52 new and modern you know what I mean which is a crazy concept never thought about it like that I didn't either can I tell you something about the Japanese culture that's very similar to the Vietnamese culture I'm going to tell you something so that's exactly what Japanese people say when they come here they go oh it's almost like you guys are my grandparents generation or like you guys are you guys are like what Japanese people used to be but when we come here we see how it's preserved so like the way we make our Mochi in L Tokyo the way that like our Kate clubs are all that ████ like they come in and they're like oh ████ you guys are like this you guys are like a Museum yeah that is crazier because Japanese people have been here for way more Generations so it's longer yeah so it's like the idea of that preservation that held for like five generations versus like the end of the day we're all still basically first generation Vietnamese people out here
6:42 you that is a very ironic thing given that like if Vietnamese Americans are kind of preserving a culture that probably in Vietnam with how fast they're expanding is probably Way Beyond already like where Vietnam must be at it's probably like just ages cuz they're rapping in Vietnam and in OC they're still doing like Cherry Cherry baby they're still doing ████ 19 you know CH by night yeah that is so true if you had a choice to live in a community of Vietnamese people or Vietnamese American people what would you choose right now in America in America yeah in America but like the people that you're surrounded by oh vietamese American really yeah is just because it's more comfortable in like what you've gotten used to but I I do want to say I want to live in Vietnam right now like I want to
7:33 like spend half of my year in Vietnam and then the other half here the real estate's hella good the growth and everything and like feel it growth is crazy yeah my my goal right now is to potentially bring Dei back to Vietnam so I can provide jobs for my family that's still over there because my family now my cousins they're starting to have their own family have babies and we in Vietnam like it's hard to get jobs if you're not connected if your family is not wealthy and so I feel like uh if I have the opportunity to do that I would wait so the wealthy gets jobs yeah like it's when you're connected yes oh like oh like the Harvard grad here have like Wall Street jobs or exactly oh like good paying jobs that like are livable and you can grow
8:24 with it plus it's probably way more exciting to be part of like a booming culture cuz like we're they're like in their era right now so many Industries are becoming localized in Vietnam the complications with other like you know Mogul Nations like China and stuff like that or like textile moving or like technology or or things like the iPhone not being able to be made over there or whatever you know what I mean like so much stuff is just moving over to Vietnam also based off of like economic pric aren't they kind of cracking with the uh automobile competition too like the Vietnamese car makers are kind of coming up building V fast or something like yeah yeah V yeah that's the new like Vietnamese car yeah I I just saw one like the other day here and I was like wait that's like a Vietnam like I saw a bunch of that when I was over in Vietnam so it was oh so that's mad comment oh yeah and I think what's just starting to stir up too
9:14 don't Mar my words but I'm excited about it it's also like their pop music culture is just starting to like get out there a lot of Indie Vietnamese artists are just starting to get featured in random stuff like that and it's like ████ yeah Vietnam time even entertainment industry still man out of the Vietnamese American communities which one do you think is the most hype like OC San Jose regional Houston s Gabriel Valley like which which one of the like I really don't know because the only one that I've really known is like Orange County like I haven't really like I've gone to San Jose once but I never really got to like experience that like I haven't gotten to experience a lot of like those groups like even in Philly like I haven't even gone there do like a meet and greet tour yeah like this is the year that I want to like expand that southern viets are ████ crazy
10:05 I'm sure the most do of the do eyes they're they're expressive I love Texas Vietnamese Community man cuz when we used to do like those um you know like those YouTube like shows when you do the colleges and then when you combine where like Vietnamese already kind of has like a hype culture and then you combine that with the South and they have like step competitions yeah yeah I remember my M cuz like a lot of LA Asians are actually pretty like reserved you know like we're just like like everyone's kind of like all Wang Fu and ████ like oh I'm not I don't want to offend you don't offend me let's all be Phil Wang together Phil I love you but like everyone's like that right like everyone let's just drink drink my Boba half sweet of course not too much flavor damn why is he calling me everyone's like that right you feel attack you feel seen that's my order bro you know I mean like everyone's
10:55 like like yeah cuz I'm ████ mild as ████ and then you go there everyone's ████ crazy and it's hype and you're like what this is ████ sick it felt like that's where Vietnamese was meant to to move to wow I love that Houston yeah no Vietnamese people be raging dude yeah Florida Vietnamese people too man Gainesville Jacksonville Vietnamese Jacksonville Vietnamese already just sounds funny I like the energy there cuz everything is like walkable or mop pedable right so then like moped you go down and then it's it's this weird feeling like you just sit on your moped and you just go and it's just like in this big ass cluster ████ of humans and you just pull up and you get coffee with your homies and you go let's go get some noodles and ████ it's just like being
11:45 outside being outside just feels so good like you actually want to be outside like there's like a community out there versus like being over here it's just like I want to say and the restaurants I feel like the restaurants feel like a big old like Village of people that knew each other already but they don't right but you'll be eating a ████ toddler comes up and just sits next to you and ████ and you're just like what's this ████ baby doing I don't know I do love that and you're just chilling and then they'll just be ████ everyone be talking to each other this person on that table will start making friends and you're just like you're you feel like you're in a bar but you're just having lunch yeah dude the idea of like a bunch of restaurants next to each other with neon lights and then like just colored chairs and you're all sitting outside those baby chairs yeah baby chairs but everybody just eat out there it's like that's so cool and like almost every restaurants they would have like shows have you ever experienced that no
12:36 there's a show someone singing or or like no like they'll be dancing and singing and like yeah like full out like choreography like lights and all this ████ like a stage and all that yes like it's a normal thing that's dope now I I need to go to those restaurants I was doing all like the ones that are like somebody's garage I mean those ones are great I went to this one in the name it was like known for their boombo away right and by day it's a moped tire shop and by night like yeah they set up tables right and you see tires on the wall like all this ████ the grease whatever and the ladies just like in the front with a Boiling Pot just serving people up so in the back you go into the shop and you just you just in the shop eating eating boom way and ████ and I was like this s███'s ████ fire yeah when you went did you also go up to the area in dang with the bridge with the
13:26 hands yeah yeah did you go to the amusement park b b yeah did you go to the amusement park behind it is that not the ████ weirdest amusement park though it's like it's like it's like counterfeit amusement park yeah so weird but it's so Grand like I think it's like three times bigger than like the size of Disneyland and it's built on top of mountains so like to go from one spot to another you have to take a cable car like across but all they're like all their like performers at dress them and stuff are like all like the Europeans or Russians or random people that like come by it's like made up characters yeah so princess will be like someone from Russia or something yeah they're basically all russan I feel like a rich dude so imagine if you're a baller right and then you go to Disneyland you go to latte world you go to all these places and you get inspired and you just make something what's this place called B Hills F but then you're taking cable
14:16 cars from like one area to the next and as you look down there's just monkeys swinging and trees and ████ bro I want to go to Vietnam so bad this area too D is a Beach City it's beautiful I like yanang better as a city I haven't been to Nang yet you would love Nang I know like the beach the beaches there are incredible got and they got little Islands you go toland let's get out of the states let's go and every single time you walk out the hotel too there's like you know the Delivery Dudes are like you know the taxi guys there on like grab motorcycles and stuff and they always like Boom Boom Room you know boom boom boom boom massage oh they call it that there too Mass they do grab and grab you what's a boom boom what's a boom boom what's a boom boom massage you know boom boom jack you off tell boom boom show them the ropes Anthony why am I you should show him I'm not going to show him what's the boom boom show so
15:07 they don't have Uber Eats they have grab right so the grab guys they come around they do ████ delivery and then they'll grab your dick and jack you off really that's why it's called grab they basically just know where all the like ghetto massage parlors are and they'll take you there and it's like you literally are paying like the cheapest amount for people and and like the ladies there like the almost like the massuse there or the uh the ma'am there if you will The Madam she'd be like pulling up her phone on her WhatsApp and showing you photos of like the girls that they offer and stuff like that in the prime obviously in their Prime yeah you're like you like her I'm like no I just want a massage real neck and shoulders please you get a you could get a you could get a a scooter Uber so like a dude like from the grab like you just order one and a dude pulls up and then you just go like all right homie and then you straddle
15:58 him from the back like this and he just takes you around that's dope yeah and it's so and it's so cheap like it's like it's like a less than a dollar whatever like 20 cent ride say less yeah yeah you open up DD over there you going to have to drop your prices no I don't if you no you know what though I ate a at a steak an Australian Steakhouse that was like 50 bucks of steak like whatever it's you there are restaurants that are like Western prices yes and there's a and there's a crowd for that too um so that's why I was like oh DD would be great because I went back to Vietnam last year and I had a popup a DD popup over there and the prices were the same that is true what if one of those smart ass ████ beat you at Connect 4 you got to give them hell of free food they're all practicing for next
16:49 time probably ████ so haven't you had a lot of places in in Vietnam try to like get you to bring Dei there like ASAP yeah um no it seems like that would be like something that was popular here seems like it would smash over there I mean I think so I just I just don't think that like we found like the right Partners yeah going to happen soon I'm sureet to happen I wish I spoke Vietnamese cuz I was like this is one of those once in a LIF time opportunity places like you know booms right like doesn't happen it doesn't but Viet Vietnam's happening and also it's going to continue because they're one of the few countries in Asia where 60% of the population is under 30 years old so means that's where the superpower thing is going to happen cuz like Korea Japan China even they're all going to be like aging aging dep and they're not their population obviously the Vietnamese
17:39 population isn't going to like be as big as China but it's a growing and and and and a young population so there's going to be a lot of booming for a while man dude shout out to Vietnam huh shout out the Vietnam I want to go bad we should do a JK Vietnam we should copy her business model and then be like JK JK Vietnam tour and then we'll just have a ton of our fans come with us to Vietnam and then we'll do a tour and it we'll just copy what she does please you don't you want to or no I mean dude he's the boss right would you rather go I'm not a risk if you I'm telling you to go would you rather go with us or with TW to Vietnam to Vietnam I'd rather go to TW with honest question she knows way more ████ than we do damn Anthony you're
