0:00 Chinese people like, "Oh, what's that?" And then it's like, and you're like, "Wait, what the f███?" And you look into the windshield and it's just a person looking at a bird or something. Oh my god. Welcome back to another episode of Careful Boys, where we have Chinese expert Anthony Lee. >> Chinese expert Lee, the leader of the CCP. That's very false. [Music] Jesus, dude. Can we keep that in? >> Can we? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> The Taiwanese guy says, "So, >> it's funny cuz we we have hella Chinese people, >> but he's the main one." So, Bart,
0:53 remember how like we were talking a long time ago about the type of um I guess like the Chinese culture in the 626? >> Yeah. >> How it's it's so like hard to manage sometimes? Like if you go to Costco, it's kind of a pain in the ass. >> Oh, that kind of culture. >> Yeah. >> Does that happen anywhere in Vegas? That same like Chinese like >> Yeah. What about the Spring Mountain Chinatown here? >> Spring Mountain Chinatown. see anything that's similar to that or is that purely like feel like it's more of an LA Chinese thing? >> I think it's a pure LA Chinese thing. >> Really? Yeah. Cuz like I when I first went to Costco out here, I I was getting ready. I was like, "Oh, ████ It's going to be like Costcora." And I go there and I think it's diverse enough where it's just like a regular Costco. And I'm,
1:43 "Oh, sick. It's not people fighting over the ████ last dog bed or some ████ you know? We're at the ████ Alhamra Costco. There's ████ three dog beds left and they're ████ No mine. No mine. No mine. I'm like, god damn, that's ████ crazy. >> How about How about at the buffets here though? Cuz I be seeing or they're LA Chinese come. >> Yeah, they're bringing this ████ over here. >> My crab leg. No, ████ you. Oh, cuz our Chinatown is actually hella diverse. >> It's like you go to like a Korean restaurant or whatever and it's like black, white, Hispanic, whatever. So, it's it's different. I think in the SGV there's so much fresh immigrants from Asia >> that it's like they're just driving like it's China. They're ████ breathing like it's China. Blowing boogers on the ground like it's China. Breathing like
2:33 it's How do you breathe like it's China? Buying soy milk like this. Like like that. >> They just like they're just China but in an American zip code. >> Okay. Yeah. Interesting. >> What's with the urgency with dog beds? Why do they need them so bad? >> I don't know, but they're fighting over ████ all the time in uh a Hamburg Costco. >> That's the last Swiffer. >> Okay. Is your experience with Chinese people in America very similar to that where like they kind of you kind of run into the more like I guess abrasive or rude kind of Chinese Americans? >> Uh short answer, yes. Um, I think it's not like uh it's abrasive. >> Yeah. >> But I don't I think it's rude to our standards. >> Oh,
3:23 >> that's that's the only thing. So like and it's rude if they don't adopt our standards. When I say our, I mean like American or outside of China. Yeah. Yeah. Like you go to a place and you have to follow the rules of that place. It doesn't matter if it conflicts with where you grew up >> because you're not where you grew up anymore. You're where somebody else is growing up. >> But China don't believe in that ████ So, what goes through the >> what goes through the actual like lo if anything at all? What goes through the logical mind of like a Chinese person that's being really annoying? Do they are they aware of it? >> You want me to tell you? Yes. They're like this. Oh, I'm in America. I love to be here. Please tell me about your country. Go. >> Uh, okay. Oh, go go go go go. >> That's Chinese style. >> What is that? >> What even happened? >> Like, shut the ████ up. I got it. I understand. And then they're just going to go about their day. Oh, that's how
4:13 they go. They like you can like, "Hey, sir. Oh, so this is the balage." Oh, go go go go go go go go. And they're just going to like walk and go do whatever the ████ they want and then like they go maybe like ████ make a wish in a fountain. Oh, sir, we don't This is the fountain. We don't make a wish here. Oh, go go go go go. Like they're just going to do whatever the ████ they want wherever. >> That's Chinese. >> If that guy was in China, are people annoyed by him there? >> The ones that do whatever the ████ they want? Yeah. No, because >> I think everyone everyone's doing what? Yeah. >> Oh my god, dude. >> Hey, you you've been a Changland, right? Ching Chang land. >> Jesus. >> Yes. >> Chang. >> You're reading my car. That's my line. I'm supposed to say that. >> But but but I've been there, too. I didn't see this when I was out there. So, was I in the wrong like places? Cuz like when I was
5:04 in Beijing, when I was like in Hong Kong, like I didn't see people cutting in lines. I didn't see like I was at McDonald's, everyone was in line like normal. They weren't fighting. They weren't do all these crazy ████ So like like is is it like that over there too? Cuz like in here I know what you guys are talking about. >> I mean, >> but when I was out there, I didn't see any of that. >> To me, it's not to to say that like Chinese people don't know how to like follow rules. I think they if something is like an unwritten rule then like that's not written. I'm not going to follow it. >> Write it down, buddy. >> Yeah, that's that's the difference. >> Like social norms that are just like written rule civic sense. >> Yeah. They're they're not savages. >> For example, this is what I hate about certain drivers that rhymes with smileys. Regular people, right? If you're driving
5:54 and you see some ████ that like catches your attention, you're like, "Oh ████ what the f███?" You'll pull over and they let the through traffic go. >> Uhhuh. >> Chinese people like, "Oh, what's that?" And then it's like, and you're like, "Wait, what the f███?" And you look into the windshield and it's just a person looking at a bird or some ████ >> Oh my god. >> They just >> like I'm driving this my this >> it's their world, my world. I'm narcissistic. ████ you. >> Right. No. But but yes, in a different way. I think I think it's not narcissism that in traffic specifically, for example, in China, it's like there might be like road lines, there might be like street lights and stuff like that, but because no one follows the rules, everybody has to pay attention all the time and is careful and then you rarely see accidents. >> Really?
6:44 >> Yeah. >> Yo, Hong Kong cab drivers are wild. >> They be drunk and smoking a cigarette, >> but it ironically works. Whereas over here, I think everybody's narcissistic here because everybody thinks the rules. I'll be like, "Hey, everybody's supposed to follow the rules. Like, this is my right of way, so I'm not going to pay attention to everything that's going on and I'm going to do it at 80 m hour." Which is why we have way more deaths and accidents here >> because everybody's in their own I think the problem with America specifically is everybody's a main character. Whereas China's so huge, everybody's accepted that >> China's the main character. >> Yeah. They're NPC. China's China is the main character and you're just NPC existing. >> So, you just exist. You don't necessarily think like, well, I need to pay attention to this person's dynamic and their story. >> You just ████ do what you do until you get told off here. Like, >> and then you're like, oh, like I I
7:35 didn't realize I was doing something wrong. So, when they when they like let's say that you do have a guy that's really annoying at Costco or whatever, and then he gets told like, "Hey, that's really annoying. You can't do that here." Do they compute it and go, "Okay, I'll remember for next." >> Oh, go. >> Hey, is it Can you guys not fight over the dog beds, please? Oh, go. >> They understand English, they'll compute it. >> What if someone says in Chinese like, "Hey, you're in America now." Like, that's not what people do here. Kind of deal. >> I think Chinese people are also very stubborn. >> That's what I'm telling you. They're They'll literally just go like, "Okay, okay." And then in their mind, I'm like, "I won't do it at Alhamra Costco. I'm gonna go do this at Montabella Costco." >> Damn. But but but I also think when the like the real greatest like problems or like serious moments happen, they'll follow the rules. >> Then they'll respect it. >> They'll follow the rules better than >> what serious problem happens.
8:25 >> So I think for Chinese people, they have a ████ gauge. So if they think it's ████ they're just ████ you. Like the dog bed, I'm I want the best deal. You're not going to let me get the best deal here. I don't give a ████ It's ████ dog beds. But if they're like, let's say we're on a ████ airplane, we have to get out here in a single file line or else we're gonna crash. Then they're like, "Okay, yes, sir. I do whatever you tell me." >> Okay, got it. >> ████ rule like, "Hey, can you guys not stand up uh and block the ████ lavatory on the airplane?" >> Oh, okay. >> Yeah, >> that actually made hell of sense. >> Yeah, >> but if it's a real one, they're like, "Okay, now you're speaking my language >> because it's inconsequential." Yeah. Whereas the inverse, right? Like in America, it's like on the ████ rules and stuff like that. It's like, "Okay, sure. We'll just follow the rules. Why don't you follow the rules?" You get
9:15 like caring about everything. And then an emergency happens and everybody's the main character. >> Yeah. And then everybody scrambles. >> It's the opposite, >> dude. I think I'm hella Chinese, dude. Cuz I get to I No, cuz my yard, right? Like if my yard's looking a little yellow, I'll extra water it. And I'm like, "This this rule." Oh, yeah. What? You water it every couple of whatever. Oh, five days in the summer. I'm like, we're doing six days this week. We got to ████ get this thing back. You know what I mean? And then they send me a notice like, "Guess what? We can see you using your water, ████ We're on your ass." And I'm like, "Okay, okay. I get it. I get it. >> Yeah. I'm sorry." Yeah. >> Yeah. Okay. Okay. >> Interesting. >> Yeah. Cuz that's like if they're at a buffet, they're going to fight for the crab legs and then not even eat it, leave it. But if they're like going through a famine, then it's like stay in line. This is your ration. And no one's fighting to steal all the food.
10:06 >> Yeah. >> I do remember that when I was in China and we were at an amusement park, people would cut in line and then when you catch them, they just without even saying anything, they just go back. >> They don't go, "Uhoh." >> It's inconsequential until there's a consequence, right? So >> they just creep in front of you. You're like, "Excuse me." And they go >> or or you don't even have to say, "Excuse me." When in Rome, right, you're in their country. If they're cut in front of you, you cut in front of them. And then the second they go like, "Oh, you can't do that." Nobody else can now. >> Ah, yeah. >> I'll be in traffic in in uh Vegas here and I'm like, "There's all these ████ construction codes." And I build this up over like a week and a half, right? I'm like, "So much construction zones. All this ████ There's never construction people." So I'll have Nikki in the car and I'll be driving and I'm like, "All this ████ construction s███." I'm like, "No, we're going off the off. There's nothing in between these cones right now. Who gives a s███?" And then immediately Nikki starts screaming. She's like, "There's a ████ truck right there." And as soon as I pull in, I'm like, "Oh, ████ Oh,
10:56 f███." And I go back and I'm like, "Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. You have Chinese logic. >> I get it, dude. Cuz I just don't respect the these rules. I think it's all ████ until I'm like >> That's Chinese philosophy. All rules are ████ ████ until like something >> proven otherwise. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> I'm there, brother. >> It's a ████ until my life is at danger, which I don't know. I kind of ████ with that sometimes. >> I ride with that. >> Versus sometimes you follow all these rules, right? We live in a We actually live in a society in a country where you follow a bunch of rules and the people who don't follow those rules, you're like, "Why am I paying for insurance then?" >> Yeah, that's the worst one though, right? One of the worst ones. >> What the ████ Why am I Why am I losing out because I'm following the rules? Yeah. And it's like that's our society. So, it's like what are we getting mad at? >> That's true. >> Legit.
11:46 >> That's very good. >> I'm hella Chinese, brother.
