Speaker 2: your skin.

20
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of

21
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: respect for the laws.

22
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: Do you remember when we asked people to submit their

23
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: best fog horn leghorn? I thought, surely there's gonna be

24
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: a money fall horn leghorn out there. They not only

25
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: weren't good, they were awful, just terrible. It surprised me,

26
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 2: be honest with you. Let's go back to Brook, who

27
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: is fourteen? Why do I take notes on these? She's

28
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: five five one twenty plays golf her best. She's a driver,

29
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: not a putter. What did I write the number eight for?

30
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: Did you mention the number eight?

31
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: No, sir, I didn't.

32
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: That's weird. I put eight apostrophe. I don't know what

33
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: that was shorthand for.

34
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 6: I don't know either, but I like the number eight too.

35
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 2: I'm just wondering if you said something that I was

36
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 2: trying to take a quick note on. She did say,

37
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: Arnold Palmer, but I didn't write that down.

38
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: Hmm.

39
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: And I put lowercase letters for I put capital B,

40
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: lowercase letters in a capital E at the bargain. What

41
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: you gonna flood it?

42
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 6: Matt?

43
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:29,280

Speaker 3: My goodness.

63
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 6: Okay, So I don't know if anyone can relate to

64
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 6: this because it's pretty unusual. But my mom too long.

65
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 4: You know her.

66
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 6: She was recently in between banks, okay, and she was

67
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 6: while practicing to be a housewife. She picked up a

68
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 6: new hobby. Okay, every single day of the week.

69
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 4: And this is so random.

70
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 6: She in her free time, she would take her time.

71
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: Rom I just checked it the tape. Your favorite iron

72
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: was an eight iron. I knew I wasn't crazy.

73
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 6: Oh okay, yeah, remember, Okay, So your mom any will

74
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,440

75
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 6: in Houston, Galveston, maybe even Texas. Okay, I don't know

76
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 6: what she does in her free day.

77
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 5: And she buys.

78
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 9: The ugliest oil paintings and she and china and and silver,

79
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 9: and it's so ugly and she puts it all around

80
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 9: our house, and our house looks like a hoarding museum.

81
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 6: It's so ugly.

82
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: And are they Asian paintings?

83
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 6: She has like fifty paintings with like the Emperor of China.

84
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 6: And she's like, they're gonna sell some good money, and.

85
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you something. I'm going to tell

86
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 2: you something about East Asians. We used to use the

87
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: word oriental, and somebody decided that was offensive, but it's not.

88
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: It shouldn't be. The orient was was a technical term.

89
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 2: East Asians have an esthetic for art that I don't

90
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: think the Western mind gets. It is something about uh

91
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: structure and timelessness or antiquity. There is something about the

92
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 2: Eastern mind and the Eastern esthetic for art, especially oils

93
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: that you see and and some Americans, some Westerners will

94
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: go through a phase of this and and the ar

95
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: it's consistent with the architecture and and the attire and

96
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: the way and and it's it's consistent with the body

97
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: language and the scenery and all that. And what is

98
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: amazing about that is it is relatively timeless. Whereas Western art,

99
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: you know, you had the Renaissance, you had that the

100
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 2: various periods through Italy, France, that the Flemish, Dutch you had,

101
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: and then you had the modern Americans. This Asian aesthetic

102
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: is consistent for a long period of time. And I

103
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: have seen that in more friends' homes who are Eastern Asian,

104
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: whether that be particularly Chinese, but also the Vietnamese and

105
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 2: I am fascinated by it. And you know what, you

106
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: want to know what's funny brook when you are you're fourteen,

107
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 2: when you're my age. If you're lucky enough, your mom

108
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: will still be alive. But if she's not, then you

109
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: will remember these words. You will look back on that

110
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 2: very fondly, even if you don't love it today. And

111
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: not necessarily because the art will have all of a

112
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: sudden changed or your appreciation of it will have changed.

113
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: It is because that's the mother's milk of your childhood,

114
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 2: and you will remember that. That will be a place

115
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: marker for you in time. It's crazy how that works,

116
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: but it's true. There are things that drove me crazy

117
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: about my mother that now I just I don't. I

118
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: still think it would drive me crazy today if I

119
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: went back, But it's kind of It's so it becomes

120
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: so much a part of you. It's the old, the

121
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: old uh, Peter Frampton, I'm in you right, You're you're You're.

122
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: The people around you are in every sinew of your

123
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: existence and you can't wash them off. And it's just

124
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: later that once they're gone, you realize, oh okay, yeah,

125
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: you know that a part of who I am both

126
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: my DNA and it's nature versus nurture sort of thing.

127
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: But it's part of who I am that cannot be

128
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: washed off, that will never be forgotten. It may not

129
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: be top of mind, but it'll be there. Joe, I

130
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: have one minute. You're up, got.

131

Speaker 4: Hey, buddy. You know what really caps my rear in

132
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 4: is when I'm trying to get my cold twenty four

133
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 4: ounce on the way home and it's somebody in front

134
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 4: of me trying to pay for a coke with a

135
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 4: damned debit card. Now I put some money, I get

136
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 4: silly read over that I have to not say something

137
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 4: that so I could punched in the snoop. But I

138
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 4: always have my money in my hand. I'm like, see

139
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 4: this is green. See this put them in your pocket.

140
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know the the it's almost to the point

141
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: that nobody uses cash anymore, but I and I miss that.

142
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's part of the control factor, but

143
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: I and it's part of the ability to tax every

144
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: transaction and control every transaction and eventually shut you off

145
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: and be able to say, no, you don't have any

146
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 2: money anymore. We control the computers, the same people who

147
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: did that during COVID and would have would have would

148
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 2: have h would have closed us into our homes the

149
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: way they did in China if they had the choice.

150
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: But I miss the old days. I walk around with

151
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,880

152
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,319

00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 5: Where as sign where from the mother?

161
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: It's the Bible rights El Casino. I turned fifty one

162
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 2: next week, and I truly believed that by this time

163
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 2: in my life I should have number one stop dropped

164
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: and rolled, and number two dove into a ditch so

165
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: a tornado could pass overhead. Ain't that the dang true?

166
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 2: You think about how much time we spent learning to

167
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: stop dropping roll, and it feels like we never really

168
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: got to use that skill. I remember, after nine to

169
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 2: eleven and Todd Beemer and The Less Role, there was

170
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 2: a comedian I can't remember who it was. And he said,

171
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 2: listen that there will be no more hijackings because every

172
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 2: white dude is getting on there looking for some a

173
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: rab and going let's roll y'all ready, and he's he's

174
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: already size it up his army that he's gonna You're

175
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 2: not gonna take over a plane with a razorblade ever again,

176
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: because he is ready and he is he is building

177
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: his army from the moment. He's got his strategy in place.

178
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: You take that one, you take that one, and this

179
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: is what we're gonna do. It won't happen again. Yeah, So, uh,

180
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: let's go to Sandy. Oh no, sorry, let's go to Trevor. Trevor,

181
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 2: you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, Trevor.

182
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 8: You know what really grinds my gears is when people

183
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 8: steal my dad's mail out the mailbox. I thought it

184
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 8: was some thugs that just broke in there or something,

185
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 8: but I guess you're right. It's the employees.

186
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 2: Hit what postal service employees?

187
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 8: I guess. So that's what the news report said.

188
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: Oh it's pretty Are you sure the mail is making

189
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,599
Speaker 2: its way into the mailbox?

190
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 8: Yes, because he delivered it to the mailbox. And then

191
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 8: I thought, because it's on a deserted corner. No, uh,

192
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 8: most security cameras, nothing like that. I thought that someone had,

193
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 8: you know, snatched it or something. I don't know, but

194
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 8: I guess it had to be the employees.

195
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 2: Well, hold on, if it was the employee, he wouldn't

196
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 2: put it in the mailbox and then take it out.

197
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 2: It would just never arrive and he would have plausible deniability.

198
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 2: So my question is, how do you know that it

199
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 2: ever made it in the mailbox to then be purloined?

200
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 8: So my dad had delivered it to the blue mailbox

201
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 8: on the street corner, right, And it's a check, and

202
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 8: I wish you would stop. I want him to stop

203
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 8: using checks, but he won't.

204
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I know that's an age thing, Trevor, I

205
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,599
Speaker 2: get it. And this was an outgoing mail.

206
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 8: Right, And I don't know what they would know. How

207
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 8: do they know that this is check? Let's grab it.

208
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 7: I don't know.

209
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: Well, they'd take their chances, right, an outgoing piece of

210
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: mail to whatever. And then is the check being cashed

211
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: after that?

212
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 8: I think it was put into a bank account of

213
00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 8: some sort.

214
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 2: I don't know. Well, it would be interesting to know

215
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: if they were able to cash that check. How old

216
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: is your.

217
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 8: Dad, Trevor, let's say about fifty five?

218
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: Fifty five? Yes, sir, you make him sound like he's elderly.

219
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 2: He's my age.

220
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 8: Shut up, Ramon, Well, he just won't into technology, I guess.

221
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh that's aggravating. Well, let me tell you what

222
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 2: I did for my parents. I took over their banking

223
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 2: and I do it online. They have a bank in Orange,

224
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: and I do it online and I now pay all

225
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: their bills. It took me about two years. My mom,

226
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: because she was so old fashioned, she would write out

227
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 2: the checks and the good news was I could see

228
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: every check that cashed and I could see it online.

229
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 2: But now I write all my dad's checks online. And

230
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: so there's no handwritten check anymore. And you know there's

231
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: no risk that. But at fifty five, you're not taking

232
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: over his banking for him. I can assure you that.

233
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 8: No.

234
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: Well, that is frustrating. I took your call because it

235
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 2: said the subject you were calling about was Asians. You

236
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 2: must have called in about Asians, and as.

237
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 8: You were, you were talking earlier about Asian aesthetics. I

238
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 8: don't know if there was a lady. Yeah, I didn't

239
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 8: quite hear it all. Yeah, but this is Asian aesthetic

240
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 8: called in Japanese gardening called wabi sabi. That's very interesting.

241
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's the real hot green peas.

242
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 8: No, right, right, no, but just where they have like

243
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 8: these old, old looking things, right, old looking things like

244
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 8: old teacups, old old bamboo shoots, it and it it's

245
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 8: part of this whole tradition or something that that I

246
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 8: don't know, if you put that in your front yard,

247
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 8: your neighbors aren't Maybe they may not like that, but

248
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 8: at least I don't live in Ho, so I can

249
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 8: do that if I want.

250
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 2: You know, there was a it was I may get

251
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: the decade wrong. I want to say it's about the eighties,

252
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: but there was a huge it was a trend that

253
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: people got really into Japanese tea gardens and pagodas and

254
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: Asian architecture and kimonos and the tea services and the

255
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 2: whole thing. And I don't know, I'm not even kidding.

256
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: I don't know if that was kung fu movies. I

257
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 2: don't know what that was. But there was a period

258
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: of time there and people were building their houses with

259
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: this architecture or they were renovating houses. I saw houses

260
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 2: in the Inner Loop where they would renovate houses and

261
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: they would take a nineteen twenties craftsman bungalow and put

262
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: a Japanese style door, which is basically it was basically

263
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: a regular door with what looks like a labyrinth on

264
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: the front, a maze on the front of it, and

265
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: a big bulky round door knob, and they would basically

266
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 2: kind of Japanify the house. And it was a very

267
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: big trend, I'm telling you. And they would have little

268
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 2: babbling brooks and say you'd have little waterfalls and tiny

269
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: waterfalls throughout, and it was all part of this kind

270
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: of meditation phase and all that. But the reason I

271
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: went to your call is I thought we would open

272
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: the phone lines to people making observations about Asians. Now,

273
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: they want to be very clear on this. This is

274
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 2: not a beat up on Asians. You can say something

275
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 2: ugly about Asians if you want, or you can say

276
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 2: things you love about Asians, or you can simply observe.

277
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: It's a free speech zone. I don't want any derogatory

278
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: slurs or anything like that, not that anybody in our

279
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: audience ever would, but it could be whatever observation you've made,

280
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 2: and it doesn't even have to be a deep observation,

281
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 2: just something you've noticed about Asian people. Now, when I

282
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 2: say Asian people, I'm not opposed to Indians being described

283
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 2: because my wife is one. I'm not overly protective. But

284
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about is the orient I'm talking further

285
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 2: east of India. So, uh, we're going to talk about China, Japan.

286
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna put the Philippines in there, because

287
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: for me, the Philippines are a more tropical Asian and

288
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 2: a different a different kind of breed. We're talking about Romon, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, China,

289
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: and Japan, with a heavy emphasis on China and Japan.

290
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 2: Just something you've ever noticed about them. It could be

291
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 2: something you've noticed about the restaurant, something you've noticed about

292
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 2: your coworker. Something. It could it doesn't even have to

293
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: be a big deal. Seven one three nine nine nine,

294
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: one thousand.

295
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: You will sleep like Michael Barry, a superior.

296
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 5: I hadn't taken away.

297
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 2: You know, I think they got it wrong. I think

298
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: they secretly said secret Asian man and they just didn't

299
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 2: want to get in trouble for it. You ever been

300
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 2: to Japan? All right, it is open line Friday. Your

301
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 2: observation on East Asians, whatever that may be. It might

302
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: be a little thing, might be a big thing. It

303
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 2: might be positive, it might be negative. It's a little

304
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 2: bit of everything. Chad's a jury duty so he's not

305
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: listening because he's half Japanese, because you do not want

306
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 2: him whipping ass on this. All right, Seawan, you're up.

307
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: Can we get some kind of lightning round but with

308
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 2: its slightly East Asian flair while while you're thinking about it? Okay, Shawn,

309
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: you're up. Go all right.

310
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 3: I wanted to say that basically, I'm a little skeptical

311
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 3: sometimes and I go to Asian restaurants because I know

312
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 3: how good they are about saving money. So it's hard

313
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 3: for me to believe that they throw everything out and

314
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 3: they should.

315
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 2: That's just me.

316
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 3: I could be totally wrong.

317
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 2: But you don't have to justify your opinion. If it's

318
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 2: your opinion, your opinion, I'll tell you mine, and I'm

319
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 2: gonna tell you this right now. And this is I

320
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 2: believe this one hundred percent. When I walk in and

321
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: I got a pee and I'm about ready to burst,

322
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 2: I know they're gonna tell me they don't have a bathroom.

323
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 2: What if everybody said, no, we don't have a bathroom.

324
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: You got a bathroom, You damn will have a bathroom.

325
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 2: And you know you have a bathroom. Now, I'm gonna

326
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: go right here on the floor. Are you gonna let

327
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: me use a bathroom? See? That's the social compact. If

328
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 2: everybody doesn't participate in the social compact, it breaks down.

329
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 2: You ever notice that you go into a sweet little

330
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 2: old rural lady from Lufkin, Texas, and she's got a place,

331
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 2: you go in there. I'm sorry, ma'am. I'm probably never

332
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 2: gonna buy any of your preleans, But do you have

333
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: a bathroom? Your honey's right around there.

334
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: In a corner.

335
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 2: Uh, just push the door real hard because it won't

336
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 2: It won't always close, and that latch don't always. But

337
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 2: I'll keep an eye make sure nobody goes. She's concerned

338
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 2: that you not go to the rest that's not part

339
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 2: of an international social compact. If you go into an

340
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: Asian owned place, they are not going to let you

341
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 2: have the restaurant. They're just not terry. You're up your

342
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: observation on Asians.

343
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 10: The other day, I was driving to work and I

344
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 10: see a car in front of me. Happened to be

345
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 10: a small white Toyota, and I saw the bumper sticker

346
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 10: it said Asian driver, good luck, and I just started

347
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 10: laughing and I passed him, and sure enough it was

348
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 10: an Asian man.

349
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 2: You know, there's there's nothing funnier regardless what anybody is, redneck, black, Hispanic, midget.

350
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 2: There's no nothing funnier than people with a self deprecating

351
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: sense of humor. And it's also the ultimate show of confidence. Reuben,

352
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 2: what's your observation on Asian.

353
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 7: Whenever you go to any of their establishments, they bump

354
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 7: into you and they won't say excuse me.

355
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's probably true. You know, when I

356
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,719
Speaker 2: first went to India, I was bitching to my wife

357
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 2: constantly and she said, Michael, you gotta understand you. She said,

358
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 2: look at it. When I arrived in the United States,

359
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: I thought maybe the nation was on holiday because she'd

360
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 2: never seen so much space when you Asia. If you

361
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 2: look at the population density of Asia versus particularly for

362
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 2: those of us that are Texans, we got room to

363
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 2: move and they're being jostled at all times. I'll tell

364
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 2: you the other thing that shocked me, and I said,

365
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 2: India is not going to be part of this, because

366
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 2: we'll do that a different day. Is that I walk around.

367
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 2: I walk along the streets in India and people stare

368
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: at me, And when I've had enough, I'll go see

369
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 2: you staring at me. They're like two feet away and

370
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 2: they just look at like, do you not care that

371
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 2: I'm watching you stare at me? But the social awareness

372
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 2: of people in Asia it reduces. And by the way,

373
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 2: this is also true at a market in New York

374
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 2: of you know, which might be Dominicans and Puerto Ricans.

375
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: You get jostled in the It's why I don't like

376
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 2: crowds anymore. I don't. I don't like it's sporting events,

377
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 2: you know you go to. I don't even like to

378
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: go up the ramp at the Texans game, but I'll

379
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 2: do it because Crockett loves to go to an NFL game.

380
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 2: I just don't like. We're not used to being jostled

381
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 2: like that. Mike, what's your observation on Asians?

382
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 8: My observation is if one of them has their shirt

383
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 8: half fun tugs, but they just their hair is out

384
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 8: of place, they're probably legit crazy.

385
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: Well, why do you think that is.

386
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 4: I don't know.

387
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 8: I've just been around them enough.

388
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 4: They normally pretty well kept people.

389
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 8: You know, I'm not saying just expensively or anything like that,

390
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 8: just they're generally neat and Mikeence, Oh.

391
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is an outlier. This is This is like

392
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 2: what Chris Rock said about when you see a gang

393
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 2: of four black dudes and one white dude, if they're

394
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 2: getting on the elevator, it's the white dude, the Trench

395
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 2: Cote mafia that you want to be scared of, because

396
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 2: what he had to do to be accepted into that gang.

397
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 2: He's crazier and the rest of them. It's true because

398
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 2: most Asians are very orderly and very tidy. That is true.

399
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 2: And by the way, you may call in if you're

400
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 2: Asian and offer Asian perspectives on being Asian. That is acceptable.

401
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 2: One of the rules of this of today's show. Jay,

402
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: you're on the Michael Berry Show. What's your observation on Asians.

403
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 11: Well, let's start off with saying that I spent my

404
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 11: first fifteen years of life in Southeast Asia, so I've

405
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 11: got a little I've seen a little bit of Asia. Stillity,

406
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 11: I spent first first two years of my life in

407
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 11: in Singapore. It's been two years in in uh Jakarta

408
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 11: and then the rest.

409
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 2: Joy I love it, but I got twenty seconds. Could

410
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: you just state your observations.

411
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 11: They're they're very humble people. And I also backed this

412
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 11: up with I get on ships at the port every

413
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 11: day and they always offer me drinks. They're very, very humble.

414
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 2: People like drink drinks. Because I'll tell you what, the

415
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 2: Japanese have gotten so beef into beef and Scotch that

416
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 2: they've pushed out some of the American and Western Europeans

417
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 2: in the.

418
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 12: Whole view on the Michael Barry Show. I hate Japanese cars.

419
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 12: They're nasty. Remember that song Turning Japanese, That song in

420
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 12: the eighties of turn Japanese, thinking turn Japanese, to think

421
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 12: I'm going to turn into Japanese. I think so. Not

422
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 12: a lot of people know this, but that song isn't

423
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 12: about turning into a Japanese. It was really about when

424
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 12: you're all alone and nobody's looking and you're just like

425
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 12: super isolated and know that nobody can see you at all,

426
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 12: and privately you enjoy driving a Japanese car instead of

427
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 12: a Mustang.

428
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 2: That's the truth.

429
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 12: So I hated that song, but secretly I kind of

430
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 12: liked it. I like how people would take the toda

431
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 12: off of Toyota and so it would just say yo

432
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 12: on the back and that reminded me that yo is

433
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 12: Mexican for I or me, because I speak to some Mexican.

434
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 12: So when people had that in the back of their car,

435
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 12: they were like crazy, self absorbed in narcalyptic. So I

436
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 12: hated how they.

437
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 5: Would do that.

438
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 12: Michael, did you see that mosquito.

439
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 2: Attack Donald J. Trump? Man?

440
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 12: That thing was like a terrorist on his face and

441
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 12: then he named it Till named that thing Hillary and

442
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 12: smashed it and that was hilarious. And you can't do

443
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 12: that if you was teleprompter, how would you even know

444
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 12: there'd be a mosquito there? You couldn't do it.

445
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 2: That's why Donald J. Trump is the man.

446
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 12: He's a quick thinker on his feet, and like in

447
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 12: the blink of an eye, he created this vision where Hillary,

448
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 12: God hate her, she was a mosquito, exactly right. She

449
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 12: buzzes around and a noise of hell out of everyone,

450
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 12: and when you're not looking, sucks the blood out of America.

451
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 12: You know how old glory is like the bluest for

452
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 12: the fields of glory, and the whitest for all the

453
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 12: people and all the states and virginal women, and the

454
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 12: reddest for the blood of the saviors that protect us.

455
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 12: After Hillary is the mosquito. There's no blood left, so

456
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 12: it's just white and blue. And last time I checked,

457
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 12: Greece's flag is white and blue. Guess how Their economy

458
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 12: is terrible. They're bankrupt And the only thing I know

459
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 12: about Greece is that song Grease Lightning was awesome, but

460
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 12: everything else is terrible. I love that song, though. That

461
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 12: was like before John Travolta was a scientist, and man,

462
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 12: that is a weird religion.

463
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 4: Do you know that?

464
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 12: Man, those people are crazy. Hey, that's all for today,

465
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 12: except for one more thing I wanted to mention is

466
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 12: that because we were talking a whole lot about Civil

467
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 12: Wars earlier, and I wanted to say that everybody was

468
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 12: either Team Ironman or Team Captain America, and I was

469
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 12: totally Team Cap. He's like a walking billboard for America

470
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 12: and I love him. And guess who else made a

471
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 12: public declaration of being on Team Cap. I'll give you

472
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 12: zero guesses. Donald day Job, He's gonna make America great again. Okay,

473
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 12: that's really all all the time that I have, And

474
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 12: thank you for giving me this platform to share with you.

475
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,239
Speaker 12: And I love your show so much. I love Ted

476
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 12: Cruz also, and have a blessed day.

477
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: Hello Christy, you're on the Michael Berry Show. Your observation

478
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 2: on Asians.

479
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 10: Good morning, Czar. It's more of my kids' observations.

480
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 2: When they were at Klein High. They got them.

481
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 9: They said, you got to get into the Asian study group.

482
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 9: That's how you make good grades.

483
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 4: You're the brainiact yep.

484
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 2: I will tell you that Crockett's friend group is probably

485
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 2: because he plays, because soccer has become his favorite sport.

486
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 2: His friend group is probably one third Asian, and there

487
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 2: is no doubt that it is good for study group habits.

488
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 2: There is no doubt. I posted something about this the

489
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 2: other day and it makes people mad. But when you

490
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 2: consider how well Asian immigrants do in this country, I

491
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 2: have white listeners who get mad at me for this.

492
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 2: If you came from India, you spoke English already, typically

493
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 2: even heavily accented, but still English. But if you think

494
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 2: of the Chinese who come here and the success they

495
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 2: have enjoyed, when you dig in and you see what's

496
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 2: going on in those households, you will see that sports

497
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 2: is not the primary focus, which is in many American households.

498
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 2: You will see that extra curriculars are not the primary focus.

499
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 2: You will see that dating as it is in many

500
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 2: American households for young kids growing up, none of that

501
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 2: stuff is the primary thing. It is academics, performance marks, grades.

502
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 2: It is having a plan, it is pursuing that plan.

503
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 2: And we can argue who we're blue in the face,

504
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: But when you're looking at the numbers of quote unquote

505
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 2: what we would consider success in life, those numbers are

506
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: going to matter because you're going to be a number.

507
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 2: It should tell you a lot that the Ivy League

508
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 2: schools have started discriminating against Asian Americans because too many

509
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 2: of them were getting in based on the old standard

510
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 2: of Valedicturne of your school tennis champion, violin champion. The

511
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 2: Asian kids, at the direction of their parents, go hey, look,

512
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 2: you're never going to be the starting quarterback. You're not

513
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 2: going to be six three, You're not going to run

514
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 2: a four or five in high school or four to

515
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 2: four in high school. So let's find something that you

516
00:29:54,160 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 2: can by sheer dint of practice and discipline every every

517
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 2: single day. And I think part of that is Asian

518
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 2: cultures really focus on things like discipline, obedience, respect for elders, orderliness.

519
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that I could live in that,

520
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 2: because that's not I am a blend of a little

521
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 2: bit of everything. But I do think that when we

522
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 2: start looking as a government as to how to solve

523
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 2: our problems, and they're all cultural, we should go in

524
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 2: and say, hey, hey, look, let's look at inner city blacks.

525
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 2: Let's look at inner city Asians that come here as

526
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 2: first generation. Let's talk about the cultural traits and the

527
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 2: fact that we're unable to It's really sad. It's a

528
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 2: sad indictment of the fact that we don't pursue the truth.

529
00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: We pursue not offending people. Look, I'm sorry if it offended,

530
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 2: but getting pregnant at fourteen is not a life path

531
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 2: to great success. Dropping out of school, focusing exclusively on sports,

532
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 2: all fatherless homes, committing crimes, all of these as opposed

533
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: to going to work. All of these things are things

534
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 2: that should be openly, candidly discussed, and if it hurts

535
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 2: somebody's feelings. So bit, if you care about people, you

536
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 2: talk about the truth, like RJ on the Black Line.

537
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 7: RJ, you're up, Bud, Michael. One thing I noticed about

538
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 7: Asians and just my sphere is a lot of them

539
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 7: will bi lingual. And I'll give you an example, like

540
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 7: normally I'll have a good conversation with one They're speaking

541
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,239
Speaker 7: English and perfectly fine, and then I'll have conversations another one.

542
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 7: They'll speaking to the perfect fine and then to look

543
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 7: at each other and start speaking whatever they speak, and

544
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 7: then they'll laugh and look at me. So I just

545
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 7: noticed how they kind of apply lingual in a lot

546
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 7: of ways. It specially my president. So that was all Michael.

547
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 2: Well, there's something glorious about being able to talk about

548
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 2: somebody right in front of their face in a language

549
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 2: they have zero chance of understanding, right, Chad Knockanishi because

550
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 2: he is half Japanese. He did live in China, he

551
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: worked in China, and so what's that did I say? Chat,

552
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 2: I'm sorry japan And so if he's in the presence,

553
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,719
Speaker 2: like if he goes to a downtown office building and

554
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: you where you know Japanese businessmen or they'll talk about

555
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 2: they'll talk about things, and he'll wait till he gets

556
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 2: off the elevator to say something about what they've said

557
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 2: in Japanese and they lose their mind because they don't

558
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 2: expect your observations on Asians coming up seven one, three, nine, nine, nine,

559
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 2: one thousand,
