0:00 You guys ever have those thoughts that were like everything that we've ever said is kind of like sitting on a server somewhere and you got like a 9-year-old, you know, my kids turning like seven months tomorrow. You got a kid on the way. Eventually, they're going to be like finding these clips. It's already backfired with me. [laughter] >> What? How? >> You know the whole like uh that one basketball clip of me and Tao? I'm just like backing backing up against how or posting up on him. >> And then uh >> that went viral. How many views? Like >> eight or nine figures on like on TikTok or whatever the ████ And then um for the longest time I think uh that video is called like Diddy Basketball or something like that, [laughter] >> man. >> That's what it's called. >> So like you titled it. No, no, no. >> Oh, it got retitled. >> It got retitled. So people would post it and then even post the uh the mirror
0:51 version of it cuz I would see it go both ways I guess to like I guess uh >> make it seem like a new video. >> New video. And uh it got around Taika's cousin school. Ta school. >> Oh wow. >> Yeah. It was I was just like what the ████ But good thing there's no context with that. [laughter] So there's no like real like oh your dad said something crazy. But it's just crazy that >> What would Ta say about it? It's the physicality of you pushing your button to him is what's funny. >> It's a big butt though. >> Yeah. But then it did get to a point where he was like, "Hey, can we not do that in public?" [laughter] >> All right. I will. >> How did that make you feel when he said that? >> I get it. Like >> did you feel bad? Did you feel like a >> There's a that 10% um Asian parent that wants to gaslight. So like my mom, she would call me like like a like a cute name like B or Baba or whatever. Ever since I was a kid, right? Then you
1:41 start. >> Yeah. Then when you start getting ████ cool when you're like 10 or whatever, I'm like, "Hey, when we're at school, don't ████ call me like B. [laughter] Call me Bart or Bart man." That's what I said. >> Okay, B. [laughter] >> And then, you know, like you're the Asian parent thing. They're like, "What do you mean I give birth to you? I call you whatever I want. I love you." So, they don't even try to understand. >> You will always be my little B. >> Exactly. So, I try not to do that. And so, when Taika does that, I do go, >> "What did you want to say to go, what would have been your version of it, >> my ████ I'm the one making you famous, ████ And then [laughter] I go, you know what? >> I did all the heavy lifting in that video. >> I understand. I'm the star. >> I understand. I won't Let's not do that. We won't do that. >> That video is so freaking funny, though. The fact that you you're like it looks like you're coaching him and you miss a cell. [laughter] >> Yeah, >> that's the funniest basketball. That's something he's involved in. What's something that's like
2:31 >> Oh, like something you said on your own. >> Yeah. Or that just exists where you're like, "Man, I I don't know how I'm going to explain this one when he sees it one day." >> Probably all of them. I mean, there's one where there's a video of me ████ like gooning in a tree or whatever. That's gonna I had to explain that to like half the jiu-jitsu guys [laughter] cuz I cuz I I coach I coach uh technically one of the one that I coach is a minor, right? And then so there's like there's all those dudes there. >> You were going they see me as like, "Oh, cool. That's Hanato, strength and conditioning coach." >> So there's like a certain like like category you put that in. >> Yeah. >> He'd never goon on a tree. gives a lot of cool like strength and conditioning advice and content and then like JK News reels come out and my feed is like a like that right it's like wait what the ████ he's ████ go hey Hanato's coach
3:22 is ████ gooning in a tree and then there's like kids are like what's gooning so I don't know there's already stuff like that that backfires where people are like oh yeah yeah I gotta remember the so he he he coaches and he does JK news he coaches and he does they gota [laughter] like remember that those two worlds are like this. Even though it doesn't make sense, they got to remember. >> I feel like my kid would just think everything I do is lame. But I think as far as JK goes, this probably isn't even close to being embarrassing. >> Yeah. I think that's really easy for at least me too. >> Yeah. Like JK just feels like nothing. But then like when it comes to uh the clips of me from like TV, I that's way more embarrassing. >> Really? Why? >> Because I think my personality is so different. You better not say it's your salsa dancing episode. >> No, not that. >> Okay. Because that was my favorite thing of all time. >> It's my offstage dialogue when I'm
4:13 talking because I'm so much more timid back then. My personality is so much more like subdued and I'm really shy. And that I think gets pointed out more for people that like know me now and they see that they're like, "Dude, who the ████ is that? Why are you so like quiet and like weird and shy?" That's I think more like my kid would probably be more like, "Who the hell's that?" You know what I because that's not how I would talk to them or or be like, you know. >> Yeah. From Taika's perspective, he thinks JK News is ████ rad cuz he goes, "You guys could just go and just just cuss." [laughter] >> It's cool for a kid. >> I'm like, "That's not the point of what we do." But we do get to say crazy ████ >> Most of it. [laughter] >> I mean, based off of like the world, what we talk about is the same as just being profanity. >> Yeah. We just talk about things that
5:04 are, you know, any kid would be like every topic anyway. So, it's like I get it. >> Yeah. Cuz when you think about it, you know, like if you're at least the way I imagined it once I'm able to speak to my daughter in like a normal way, her watching JK News just feels like more of dad cuz that's how I am. So, she'll be like, "Why am I going to watch more of you acting how you act normally?" She'll probably laugh more at the ████ that doesn't seem like me. She'll be like, "Who the ████ that?" You know what I mean? That's where she'll make fun of me probably to be like, "Wow, you're so like you're not even commandeering. You're such a wimp." >> Or she's going to change you. So then you're going to watch this video or back at JK era and you're going to be like, "Dude, I was so different back then." Just like you talk about your interviews. >> Could be. Yeah. Maybe I I'm on my uh third trimester of personality. >> Wonder what that's going to be like. >> I do imagine to that concept though,
5:55 like you go in waves, right? It's like there's like so clearly a moment back then where I was like, I would never raise my kids the way my parents raised me. >> Now I shut the ████ up. >> Yeah. >> You know what I'm saying? >> Yeah. You change completely. >> You really believe and understand a certain thing and then you like change completely. You know, I'm like wait for that moment when like your kids going to like love what you do and then they're going to hate what you do and then they're going to respect what you do. You know what I'm saying? >> Yeah. It's definitely going to go in those in those uh waves. >> It doesn't matter what you do, man. I also think a huge leg up that we have over our parents though, our parents never explain ████ >> Yeah. >> You know, so it's like Mr. Miyagi style. I think at least for us, like imagine if Mr. Miyagi just told ████ Danny Laruso like, "Hey, when you paint fences, it's going to make you so strong. You're going to ████ that guy up. >> It's going to work on your blocking
6:45 >> versus just making him do it." And then he goes, "I don't want to ████ do it anymore." >> So I think for us, we have a leg up cuz we actually >> Mr. Miyagi ████ it up for our generation. I bet you so many parents went home all inspired about teaching without teaching. You know what I mean? >> Yeah, exactly. >> ████ it up for us. Like, don't worry. I don't explain. You're going to be better for it. >> Yeah. >> It's going to be better when you learn yourself. >> It does work though, man. >> It is. I I learn better when I don't know what the why the ████ I'm doing it. >> Yeah, that's what my parents did. They're like, "Watch. Go ahead. Put up the hanger. Good old." Imagine that's what they did with me. That would be >> Everything's kung fu. >> Try cleaning place makes you a martial artist. Begin your fold again. Wow, my fold is so strong. Mom, [laughter] >> I need to learn math. Mom, this doesn't help me with math. >> Double limb roller like I showed you yesterday. Oh my god, my technique is so amazing.
7:36 >> Is that why you have such good body control from like the dry cleaning? >> Just opening and closing, just moving in like right angles. [laughter] >> Dry cleaning's only in 90° angles. Lid rollers are squares. >> Yeah, because your parents were probably like, "No unnecessary movement." >> Yeah. You know, like you don't waste any movement. >> Clean strokes. >> Yeah. >> Don't waste your movement, man. >> My parents were way more Vietnamese than Chinese, but yes. >> Why you wasting? Look at all that's waste. [laughter] WASTE >> 45 degree only. >> You don't know hypotenuse [laughter] cuz that probably played some type of role, right? >> Dry cleaning. >> No. >> Made you clean. >> I think I think um >> attention to detail. I think dry cleaning. Yes. I think it played a type of role in like imagine a kid having to
8:26 understand things like invoicing receipts, customer service, change transactions, like you know uh all the ████ customer orders and putting things like >> Well, cuz you were doing that like what 15 years? >> I was doing that when I was like ████ 6 years old. So, >> do you think that probably helps out subconsciously with businesses? >> I think it helps out a lot. I think it also helps out a lot that like >> that's a badass skill you learned. when you see a business that is very like bare bones like a a toz, you know, like the you're you're there to open the door to the person who closes it to like cleaning up like the the fallen over like food in the back of the kitchen when another person or or taking care of the customer for when you're a toz on something that's like a service job. >> Yeah. >> You really ████ learn a lot about the world. That's it, bro. >> Did you help you socially because you have to talk to customers? >> I think so. That's how you start talking to babes, too. >> Yeah, that's how you started talking to babes. So, how clean you want this? [laughter] Yeah.
9:16 >> Hey, go ahead. Ring the bell. >> Actually, ring the bell. Ring the bell. Ring the bell. Very clean. >> You talk to Cuz when you're the kid at the front, you talk to everyone. >> Yeah, you have to. Right. >> You're talking to the mailman. What's up, mom? [laughter] >> Ormans. You know what I mean? You're talking to the >> That's Do-Rack Anthony right there. [laughter] >> Dog Anthony. >> Hi, Shy. >> How'd you How'd you get this so dirty, baby? Come on, mama. >> Just a little low voice. [laughter] >> He's just a little pervert. Hey, stop smoking on laundry, man. >> [laughter] >> What are you doing, dude? Clean them. >> Is that how you like uh I guess like achieved getting over shyness cuz you you were forced to like talk to people. >> I think it took like 16 years for me to get over uh social anxiety. >> No, I think I was always able to just talk. I think knowing how to shut the ████ up was the skill.
10:06 >> You know what I mean? >> When are you going to learn that? [laughter] the point. >> Still learning, >> dude. He's emoting, dude. He's killing it. That's what Ta needs to learn how to shut the ████ up. [laughter] >> Did your parents ever uh yell at you or like discipline you in front of customers? >> Yeah, >> for sure. For like misounting the regist. >> They don't give a ████ >> He's like, "Why don't you upcharge this guy? Upsell this guy, ████ Why don't you ask him for the special cleaner? >> Can you upsell and dry cleaning?" >> Come on, man. I do, now that you bring that up, I do feel like [laughter] >> I do feel like they kind of got Karen one time and then and then that made it way worse. I remember I do kind of remember like a white lady kind of like >> doing a thing and then like all I
10:57 remember is afterwards it got way worse because like if I I I deserved every time. That's the problem. But the difference was like just the moment versus the you wait right there and then they got to go take care of the customer and you're sitting there just the same punishment's coming but now you got like a whole extra like 7 minutes [laughter] of like they talk louder. They're arguing a little bit when they're arguing you you know the whole script of customer service. So when they're already okay when when do you want to pick this up? You're like it's the last 30 seconds. >> Well it's like Jaws. You see the ████ fin coming. You're like, "Oh, >> oh, that's true." >> Yeah. Or like it would be like the end of the day and some ████ really went down and the last customer would come and you think you're saved because you're that little beep beep beep, which is your dad's about to whoop your ass. Little beep beep beep. You think you're safe? >> Well, there's like this like Confucious proverb. I forgot what it was, but it's
11:48 like pretty much saying like uh parenting is a divine duty. So, if you have this mindset of like parenting is what God tells you to do, >> you can parent any ████ time you want. And no other circumstance can get in the ████ way of heavenly orders. >> Yeah. So it's ████ crazy, man. >> It was my divine right to be your father. >> Yeah. It's ████ crazy. >> That's sick as hell, actually. >> Yeah. Then you're like, >> "So, so what what job are you going to make your daughter do to learn her way?" >> Yeah. >> What service job are you going to make her do? >> Probably be a professional dancer. >> Oh my god. Probably hella good. >> Just dance, monkey. [laughter] Just dance for this monkey. I can teach you this. >> You know, you know what's the the worst? It could be a JLo. The one, you know, it's the worst one, the one I hated the most growing up. And I thought that like there's no ████ further future logic
12:38 that could ever displace my understanding of this. And it's when you get into an argument with your parents and then the only backup they got is cuz I said so. They can't even ████ have the full regular com. You can't even articulate to me and and make me smarter with your perspective. You you end with cuz I say so. And yet now the older I get starting to sound real nice. The flow of it just as it leaves your mouth because I said so I'm I think I'm gonna start practicing. I don't know. It just it just feels like a good old like >> cuz now you get to do it. >> It's No, it's not even get get to. It's because like Yeah. To my parents credit that younger Anthony is too stupid to understand the articulation. I'm wasting your time. I am actually wasting your time and you should tell me to shut up and just beat me right now so I shut up and then tomorrow I will be better. I promise it
13:29 should actually just be that >> tell you on the car ride home but right now I'm going to smack you >> versus the necess like the actual necessary like let me explain everything so you fully It's like no ████ your ████ frontal lobe has not developed fully enough. >> But did your parents actually have the ability to articulate if they chose to? >> No. >> That's the difference. You do though. But yeah, that's the difference. Yeah. >> So that's cuz when I say cuz I said so now it's a choice. >> Right. Now it's a choice. But back then I don't think my parents could have even broke it down. >> No. Yeah. My parents still can't break it down. Maybe in their language they could
