02:07:10 Share

Welcome everybody to The China Show episode 261, I believe. Do you know what 261 area code is? No idea. Madagascar. Oh, very nice. So shout out to any, if you're from Madagascar and you're in the chat right now, give us a shout out. Absolutely. We'll shout out to you.

Anyway, we've got quite the show for you today, guys. It's been intense this past week in China. We've got a lot to discuss, a lot to show you. And yes, as per usual, we're here to draw the veil back and reveal to you the truth about what's happening in China. If you're new here for some reason, China blocks everything. They have a great firewall on their internet. They don't like anything to escape the borders.

But we have trusted sources. We also have ways of getting video to you from China about what's happening there. So that's what you're here for. Number two, I just wish and hope sometime soon. Let's just show what you're doing here. This is Ryan. Get Ryan out of here. This is Ryan. He's on our secret show on patreon.com slash adbpodcast. But anyway, also there's Duck. Duck.

Yes, okay. What were you saying? Anyway, what I was saying was I hope soon we have a China Show episode where it's not absolute insanity. I want one where it's just chill because this is not chill, this episode. Yeah, definitely not. But we've got a lot of funny stuff, a lot of entertaining things as well as, of course, the serious stuff. So let's saunter right into it with what's new. This is where we talk about everything that's new, specifically with regards to China. And...

What's going on here, Seamilk? This is a video that's going around in China. It says, reading my favorite book.

It's just a bunch of R&B notes, which is the currency of China. It has some emotional kind of longing music. Yeah, exactly. It's his favorite book by Candlelight. Even a power outage can't affect my passion for this book. Yes. I mean, it's funny, but it's also a little bit unfortunate because if you live in China for any period of time, you'll realize that

You know, there's no religion in China. No. It's an atheist country. You're not allowed to practice religion if you're a Communist Party member. And of course, they wiped out all religion during the Cultural Revolution and stuff. And so what's replaced religion is a worship of money. And it's unfortunate because that's what you're looking at right here. It's very true. Yeah. Anyway, I just thought that was a fun... Fun slash too true. Yes. Now this...

Some Roberts over here. China's sort of self-delivery things, you see propaganda about them all the time. They're robots, right? Yeah, they're supposed to be robots, like robotic delivery vehicles. And you see these foreigners and they'll be like, I can get KFC delivered on one of these things. China's living in the future. Unfortunately, they can't get past a pile of leaves. This one goes around that one.

shun feng not too shun are you no no especially since that one also gets stuck in a pile of leaves oh well kind of useless that's sad you know what that what it's just the whole the whole thing if you haven't been here like china's been pushing probably number two like second to like taiwan like uh

Taiwan propaganda, like taking over Taiwan. It's been robot propaganda. And a lot of the people that they employ to talk about China's robotics industry, they say robbers instead of robots for some reason. And this just reminded me of something. In fact, I think there's a new soundbite on deck. There is a new soundbite. Should we play it now? You want to play it? Let's play it. All right. It's a little preview of what's coming. Okay.

Yeah, we've got some interesting robot updates for you as well today. Anyway, let's continue on to our next clip. Leaf-seeking missiles, bro. Yes. It's just kind of hilarious. Well, partially. Okay, quick pause. What does that look like to you?

That looks like if you took a Porsche Cayenne. Yes. And you made it and shrunk it down into like half of a Beetle size proportions. Yes. And in fact, this is actually just a like $2,000 Chinese EV. Yes. Okay. So this is a small, cheap, in the rural countryside kind of electric car that you can buy. Yeah, it goes like 30 kilometers an hour. Okay. It is a knockoff of a Porsche, as you can see. This is not a Porsche. This is a Porsche.

Take a look at that. He said, this isn't a Porsche. This is a Porsche donkey. Yes. It's got the Porsche logo, but look in the middle. It's got the donkey from Shrek. It's the Shrek donkey. It says new energy. Yes. This is China's EV revolution. Yes.

Second generation. Yes.

So there you can see... Second gen Lu. Yeah, the Bao Shu Ji and the Bao Shu Lu. A Lu is a donkey in Chinese. You can learn a little Chinese there. So you can see, this is how China's done it for many years, decades now, is they'll take a logo and they'll just slightly change it. Yes. See what they did here? They took the horizontal stripes, made them vertical. Yes. You know, those... What even are those? Like fronds? Yeah.

What are they? I'm not sure. I thought the eyelash. You like Porsches, right? Kind of, yeah. So, I mean, like, you should know what those are. Somebody will tell us right away in the comments, I'm sure. Yeah, tell us. I don't know enough. They look like, I don't know, like fronds or something. Anyway. I will say this. What? I don't want people to think this is a meme. No, this is real. This is not a silly thing they bought on Timu, like, for a badge.

This is a counterfeit car. Yes, that you can buy. It's not only a badge. The whole thing is counterfeit. They literally took a cayenne and shrunk it down. You'll see that with most Chinese cars. Even if it is like an original car, it'll just look like a Land Rover or look like a Taycan or whatever. They seem to copy Porsche a lot.

Yes. You notice that? I think it's because Porsche is seen as unobtainium for most Chinese people, which makes sense, right? I mean, and they've got very good design. Yeah, that's true. Like iconic. Yeah, when you spend that much money on just design, you know. I do think Porsche's design is always pretty tasteful, and I think that translates well to a counterfeit.

Correct. Because it's not going to look bad in five years. It's still going to look like a good design. Correct. Except for this, it looks absolutely ridiculous. This is stupid. Little regarded. Yes. I just love the fact that it exists. You can buy it. I looked it up online. You can still buy them in China. It's a whole ass car. Yeah, it's a car. This is a donkey.

Oh, what happened to you? Oh, it's coming? Okay. Can you explain what's happening here? Well, there is a little boy on the back of his father's work van. Yeah, I think I'll take the volume down a bit. We'll just play it quickly so people can see. And a woman is freaking out. Of course. She's like, B, get out of the car. Stop. The boy is obviously playing on his father's car. Yeah.

Well, it's a good thing he didn't accelerate really hard. Oh my gosh, that was a quick catch. Yes. Quick catch. Very good. You know that kid's going to get yelled at. Okay, hang on a second. Guys, why do you think Chinese people film themselves sleeping? Should I read some chat? Sure. I'll read some chat. Why do you think Chinese people film themselves sleeping? Yeah. It's a simple question. Because, you know, we often show you clips of the living room. We have an answer. Yeah, we have an answer. We're just curious what you think.

What do you guys think? No, not pervs. It's nothing perverted. Ghosts? Nope. Nazis film ghosts? Nope. Why do you think? Security, obviously. Superstition? No. No, it is security. It's because theft is so high in China. I've never seen more theft in my life than I have in China. It is a country full of robberies, especially home robberies. Yeah.

And so people film their rooms because they want to make sure they catch a thief in action. You know, a friend of ours actually was sleeping and a thief climbed through his window, stole his laptop and everything right while he was sleeping in his room. And a bunch of money. Most of it was like a pot. It was like a huge. It was all his savings. Yeah. Yeah. In his. They came into his room while he was sleeping and stole his stuff while he was sleeping right next to him. Yeah.

So that's why you'd film yourself sleeping is to catch a thief. Oftentimes they'll actually gas a room and actually knock the people out. They do that too. And they do it often. You actually see ads for that chemical. Meow, remember? Yeah, meow. You see that everywhere. Anyway, this guy's filming himself and he's just phone zombying in bed. And this happens. Brain rotting. Yeah. Balloon. Did you see what it was? It was a balloon. What kind of balloon? A cat? No.

I didn't. I was more paying attention to his reaction. I'll take a quick look. Yeah, let's have a look. Curious. All right. It's Nurjar. Oh, Nurjar. Did you know of Midjar? Did you know their little secret? What?

And I'm almost 100% sure this is true. You know, Nezha isn't actually Chinese. Hold on. Nezha is China's best-selling animated movie of all time. Yes. I've watched number one. I haven't watched number two. By the way, they... Nezha 2 is like a huge juggernaut. It's made the most money out of any animated film ever in history or something. With caveats. Yes. I read on the Chinese internet people were getting 8 to 10 tickets from their boss for

to divvy out. They pumped and dumped that movie so hard to try to get all these records. I'll be honest with you. If you were to go watch it, I'm pretty sure you'll find it's mid because I watched the first one and it wasn't very good. So anyway, what I'm trying to tell you though is Nerja isn't actually Chinese. It's Indian. It's like an Indian, like a Hindu story, like kind of little godling or something. I was reading about that. It's so hard not to play out. Yeah.

Okay. Nuts-ya! I know it's nuts-ya, but yes. Nuts-ya! Nuts-ya!

Yeah, anyway, I will stand corrected if I'm wrong about that, but I was reading something about that. It made total sense to me because just like the Monkey King is just Hanuman, you know, from the Ramayana and all that stuff. Yeah, there's a lot of crossover, anime crossovers. Yes, exactly. So anyway, there's a no-jow balloon. Freak the sky out. I can't believe you played Yo-Jah there. Why not? The kid's sleeping like a rock.

Yeah, the kid didn't even move. That's very normal, by the way, because of the small apartments and stuff in China. Children very often sleep with the parents together. It's just normal in case people think it's weird or something. It's not. Yeah. Anyway, very funny. Yeah, I thought that was funny. This guy's getting some revenge. He's doing the classic lower the tire pressure, right? Make it flat and then pans over. That's ballsy. That's ballsy in China. This is a cool guy.

He seems okay. Okay, all right. I'll do it one more time. I don't mean to dwell. Okay. But the sound. Yes. You know he's been drinking. You know he's a cool guy. He's like, I'll show you guys a trick. Yes. Anyway, he's okay. He's okay. He gets up. He does. He goes, ta-da. He did a judo roll, you know? He did. He did. Oh, my goodness. That sound, though. Yes. It was almost like a song. It was like...

By the way, the guy laying down in the air, he does another proper technique. He's supposed to take a small stone. Yeah. You put it in the cap and then you can just walk away. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, what's going on here? We've never done that. No. Trying to make a stunning accusation about which country should be blamed for the COVID outbreak. You guys probably remember the White House puts a thing about COVID origins, which is very welcome. Congratulations to the White House for doing that. Finally, someone's talking about the fact that COVID came from China. Yeah. From Wuhan.

From the freaking lab. Where it was being, you know, invented or whatever. So China puts this out. This is just hilarious. They put out a white paper and it blames... I'm not going to make you sit through it. Yeah. It blames the US for the origin of COVID. Of course, because they can't lose face. They're like, oh, you say it comes from us? Nuh-uh, it came from you. I kind of... I'm so tired of...

Not just what China's doing, because they can't admit what happened. I'm so tired of people that look at this like some sort of shouting match where it's like,

oh, like both sides can't admit it or like both sides are upset about this or both sides got to be right. No. No. One side did it and one side didn't do it. Yes. One side lost a million people to another country's mistake. Well, I mean, here's the thing. Again, people like to get mixed up. I made a video about this. They get mixed up in like American domestic politics and they'll start pointing fingers at Fauci and gain of function and vaccinations and all this. But...

And that's a different conversation. Yeah, but here's the thing. Let's just say there's some evil masterminds who wanted to develop this horrible thing. So they go to China, to this lab, and they're like, let's develop this together. Because China was already developing this stuff. They were already researching gain-of-function. They were already researching the coronaviruses from the bats. We know they were doing that anyway.

But like, let's say you, these guys went and they paid China to- Let's say it's the worst version of what everyone said. Yeah, the worst version. Let's say these horrible like backdoor guys, they go there and they're like, let's make this gain of function. Ha ha. And they pay China or they like fund the Chinese lab to do it.

The Chinese lab is the one where it leaked from. China's the one that covered up the spread of it and the outbreak. And then blamed it. Yeah, so I liken it to if you paid somebody to build a house for you, okay, and they build the house, you move in and it collapses on you and kills your family. It's not your fault. You paid for the guy to do it. It's the guy who didn't do the good job, who didn't put the right load-bearing structures in, the guy who didn't follow the safety regulations. Yeah, and it's almost actually malicious on top of that because China, if you guys don't remember... Mm-hmm.

They let their citizens leave, but not travel domestically. Yes. Because they knew it was transmitting and killing people left and right. And at the same time, convinced the WHO to tell everyone there was no human-to-human transmission when they knew there was already. Mm-hmm.

Anyway, we've gone through this a lot of times. China is the one at fault here and it's not secure. I just wanted to show that their own websites, their government website is not secure. Of course. It's just great, guys. Just remember the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Was right here, seven miles away from the outbreak in the Huanan Seafood Market, okay? Yes. Can we just remember that? Of course. It's the lab that made a virus that came from bats that spread to humans that operated like COVID did. Oh, really?

Can we just end it there? It's simple. Thank you, White House, for putting that website up. And it's linked below in case you haven't seen it. Can we move on? Let's move on. Actually, can we make China answer for this? Actually, yeah. Let's not move on. Let's rewind a little bit. Let's go back and say, China, you know, like all my dead relatives and the people that died and everything, you're kind of at fault here. Let's get some compensation. Yes. You know, you've got to take the blame. You can't just get away scot-free.

It's got to be done. It reminded me of something because I think people forget, even though COVID is so recent, China's done such a good job of like covering its tracks. I want to play some COVID memories. Okay, let's do a quick COVID memory, guys. Just one today.

Remember when China did this to millions of people? Yep. They locked them into metal boxes and some of them starved to death because they weren't allowed to. One of the most traumatic things in modern history and people have just forgotten about it. Yeah. We won't let you forget. Don't worry. Next time on COVID Memories. But let's move on to something more fun, guys. We're not here to talk about COVID because everybody hates that topic and so do we. We've got a woman in a shop. We do. Ah! Ah!

We were having a debate the other day. Yeah. About... This is... A woman's obviously scared of cats. Yes. A cat ran in. And you called...

Being afraid of cats is a disease. It is. It's a disease. He said it's a disease. It's a disease. I said it's a phobia. Yeah. You said a disease, a phobia is a disease. Well, I just said it makes a person not at ease. Maybe a disorder. Yeah. It's a disease. It's a dis-ease. Yeah, it is. What is it called? Allureophobia or something? Something like that. It is a phobia. Yeah. I'm scared of her scream. Yeah. That's my phobia. Absolutely. Do you have any phobias? No. No? None that I can think of. Hmm.

I mean, there are things I don't like. Yeah, but that's not a folk. Yeah, but there's nothing that'll make me, like, screech and run out of a room. Yeah, me neither. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, no. Ain't got none. Yeah, maybe you just haven't come across it yet. Maybe. Yeah. Anyway, let's see what's next. Yeah.

Look at that pile of... Accidental hot girl hug. Yeah. You know what's happening here? Is they're about to do the training. You know outside of hairdressers or beauty salons or whatever, they always do training. And they get the staff to dance. That's why he's holding their phones. Yeah, exactly. And they're not allowed to have their phones at that time, so he's just collecting them all. But yeah, that was a good save. You got accidental triple hugged. Nice. Nice.

Oh, well. Yeah. Oh, well, let's move on from that. I don't know what to say about that. There's nothing you can say. This is hilarious. By the way, don't worry. This isn't real. This is a training exercise. But in the middle of the day. Yes. In a hospital in public. They do this often. Yes.

And that's because, sadly, there are a lot of attacks at hospitals specifically against the doctors and nurses. We've actually seen, we've personally seen the aftermath. Yeah, it's horrible. Actually, almost current math.

Yeah. It was kind of just happening when we saw this. Yeah, exactly. It was really horrible. We basically, without, we saw the blood being washed away from a hospital where, was it eight nurses were stabbed today? Yeah, eight. Eight. And it was just around the corner from where you lived. And we went, there was like blood everywhere. We're like, what's going on? Anyway, since I used to train doctors, I knew about this a lot. Doctors do get targeted because what will happen is a doctor will treat a patient and the patient will die.

And then the family will blame the doctor for not doing a good enough job and come seek revenge. And this is tied into bribery and all sorts of things too. So it's understandable if you understand the culture. Anyway, because you have a lot of these stabby stab incidents at hospitals, you have to have these training every once in a while to make sure the security guards can stop a stabby guy, right? But this particular one is quite funny.

Here comes the hero. They're probably all quite funny. Yeah, here comes the hero. I love the hero. Really getting in there. I love how it's in the middle of the day. With people just watching on the balcony. Yes. He falls over. The guy with the shield's a hoot. Yeah, watch the guy with the shield. He's the best. Yeah, he puts his helmet back on. Here he comes. I'm gonna get ya. I'm gonna get ya. I'm gonna get ya. Well, there goes his helmet again. Oh, let me get my helmet. Oh. Whoa. Whoa.

Dude, this guy sucks. Is he drunk? I don't know. I mean, look at him. He's like, oh, doesn't he look like what a drunk person would do? I feel like I would do that. Yeah, if I was. I feel like he's got to be drunk. Oh, yeah. If I do at lunch, they do that a lot. Yes, that's true. They drink hard liquor at lunch. Yeah. Yeah, you're absolutely right.

What's he gonna do? There he goes again. Oh, there goes his helmet again. Dude, can you learn about a helmet strap? He doesn't know. Yeah. He doesn't know about a strap. His other two friends know. He's a strapping young lad. He looks like an old man. Yeah. He looks like Mel Nourish. What is this? This is sad. Oh, is it? Yeah, a little dog. Oh, the moving... He starts to get pet. Yeah. Oh, that is kind of sad. It makes me sad. I want to pet that poor dog. Yeah.

This is an Ulema driver. He's delivering, but he's showing off. He lost all the delivery. Don't show off, bro. Oh my goodness. So this is what's been happening in China on the lighter side of things. But what's been happening in our world has been fantastic.

Oh, you know, before we even get into this point of view pervs and sea milk, okay? Pause it on something where people can see kind of what we're about to see. Okay. So they can get excited. All right. That's boring. It's all right, but we don't want them to miss it. I just wanted to say, guys, we've got such a crazy show coming up. Yes. So before we get into it, let's tell you what you missed on Monday. It's actually going to be a mini documentary. Yes. This is just like they're being attacked by excavators. They'd be like, no, you come to the fire now. Right. Singing Bible songs. What up?

It said "No Speed Racer, NO!" in the ad. Pictures of our scooters. Yeah, you're not a peeping Tom who's out in public who should be actually just thrown in jail. We pretend like we had a boombox, we like push a rock or something, like okay, harvester of sorrow. Oh boy. Just a little bit earlier on they're just asking for kisses and stuff. Yeah, now it's just full-on harassment.

Our last episode of Xiaoban How, which is on patreon.com slash tvpodcasts, was episode 147, where we talked about China's remote control pervs. Yes. Now, China's remote control pervs is a new phenomenon in China's live streaming industry. It's insane. I'll give you a little taste. But basically, what it is, is it went through stages. We give you six levels of how bad this got. Yeah.

And recently it's been at the worst level. And basically what it is, is you as a user use your phone to watch a live streamer, but you control something on the other end. So a remote control car usually. And it's devolved into absolute nonsense. Yeah, so it's like a remote control with a camera. And while a woman is live streaming, then you get to control it. But there's levels to it. You can guess where it's going. Here's some quick video reviews of the levels. Oh, my God.

Be careful, be careful, you're going to get a punishment Hello, two sisters, can you help me with the little thing? Little red, are you still there, little red? The fox is resisting

So you kind of get the idea. But anyway, we go into serious depth. And it's basically a documentary about this phenomenon. It's probably taken off over the past three months or so. And that's what we do on our secret show. We do stuff we can't do on normal YouTube. It's our patron. It's the best way to support us. It's currently half price. And there's some other episodes we've done, trying to suss delivery driver core videos recently we've done. You'll get access to all of these, by the way. Yeah, dangerous medicinal things people are eating. We've got to rest at Whataburger. Nuff said. Yeah. It's

China Insanity Pro Max, WTF is even happening. That is the best episode ever in terms of one clip we showed that you can, if anyone ever says China's the future, you hand them this clip. Yes, exactly. Then you'll know. You'll know. They won't say anything. Nope. Anyway, it's currently half price. Shabunho, half price sale. Get locked in while you can. The VIP live tier means you can watch it live on

Yes. We do it and you get it. We give people handwritten Chinese names. Chinese names, yeah. You pick the next episode. We vote on topics. We do all this kind of interactive stuff. It's very fun. Yeah, exactly. So go check it out if you can. Please do. If you have the means, we'd love to see you there. It's so much fun. Yeah, our upcoming episode is what? Yeah, it's going to be near misses, like insane near misses. We wanted to show everybody here. This is an example of what we're going to be covering. This coming Monday. Yeah, this Monday. This guy, I'd like you to pay attention to him. He's just chilling out and then something touches him.

He's just chilling. So you can see him over there, right? He's standing next to the brick. See, something touched him. Like a wire. Like a little cable or something. It was like, I wonder what could be happening here. By the way, you can see it was on the 27th. So we're looking at like just a few days ago. Yeah.

Bam! Don't worry, he's okay. He's okay. He escaped. Near miss. You can see his head popping up behind that bush. Can you see the bush? In that bush. Yeah, hiding in the bush. He's kind of like, whack-a-mole failed, you know? I'll just play that again because it's quite incredible. It happens... Sorry. Not today, Satan. Yeah, it's one of those, yeah. Exactly. Satan is playing whack-a-mole with some cranes. I mean, take a look. So the cable from the crane brushes his shoulder or something and he's like, what's this? And then he's like, I'm out of here. Bam! Wow. Wow.

I mean, insane. Absolutely insane. So Monday's show is going to be all about these kind of close calls. We have a huge collection of these kinds of clips. So we'll be discussing them and showing you that sort of thing. Yes. It's pretty crazy, isn't it? Look at the aftermath of this. Yeah. That's nuts. China's so freaking dangerous. It really is. Yeah. Wow.

The fact that he escaped that is a miracle. Yeah. You know? You believe in miracles? I bet he didn't take life for granted after that. No. No.

Yes, he's going for the deluxe Young Joe Chow Fun tonight. Yes. Live it up. Anyway, you go to patreon.com slash jdvpodcast, support us at one of the top two tiers, either $20 or $10. You get access to all of 100 plus Xiaoban Ho episodes. Yeah. It's stuff we can't show on YouTube. It's great stuff. It's fun stuff. It's the best way to support us, and it's part of the community. The Xiaoban Ho community is amazing. You'll get to see who is Ryan, and you'll know who is Ryan. So, guys, today we have a Super Chat goal. Yes. Yes.

Which one are we gifting this time? Well, you know what I mean. A previous episode. That's the correct way to say it. A previous Xiaoban Ho episode. And this time, this is going to be... Are you ready? Yeah. This episode is going to be episode, I believe, 46 or something. Let me see.

I'm going to set a timer here for an hour. Okay. So we have an hour to reach the goal. Yes. It's Chinese amusement parks. Can you please explain why that's amazing? Guys, there are these... I mean, it's a different level in China. Amusement parks are insane.

And so we show you some of the crazy things that happen in amusement parks because they're very haphazard. They're very put together. They're very dangerous. They're very wild. It's like the Wild West of amusement parks. Yes. Did we show us on the roller coaster as well? Yes. Okay. So, yeah, it's fun. It's fun.

Full of injury. It is shocking. It's very funny, but it also, it'll put hair on your chest. It'll wake you up and it'll go, I would never go to a Chinese amusement park. Yes. It's basically a rundown of how a Chinese amusement park works. Yes. With our personal experiences and some on video. Yeah. So if we hit the Super Chat goal, we will release it straight away. Yeah. And then it will go in the description and it'll be available for everyone to watch. Correct. Anyway, it's time for us to continue. The goal is live now, by the way.

The goal is live. So feel free to chime in. Send in your Super Chat. We'll still read your question at the end. Yeah. And fill up that goal, and then everyone will get that episode. Excellent. Let's continue on with the show. Okay, so what is going on here? I just wanted to show you. Pause that. You made that. I did.

Well, I mean, that's not true. I didn't make that. You didn't make that. That is the stupidest garbage picture I've ever seen in my life. It is such schlock. I wanted like a 90s toad, you know? Like 90s attitude? Yeah, exactly. And that's what we ended up getting. That is. We need to do a public service announcement. Yeah, consumer reports. Have you guys seen these ads? Because, I mean, this crap has been going on forever about these AI dogs.

They're like hyper-realistic robot dogs. The best robot dog ever. And it shows kids laughing at these dogs. I see them on every social media platform. It's just like, you know. It's like, order this now. It's AI robot dog. People are like, I want to get this for my mom. It shows some random white people in a factory making them.

And you're like, what is this? They're everywhere. They're literally everywhere. So we got annoyed to the point, because we know it's some schlock-like shop-dripping garbage from China. We wanted to know what it was. Dropshipping, yeah. Yeah. What did I say? You said shop-dripping. But you know what? It's kind of the same. It's the same thing. I'm sorry. Wow. Wow.

These are the drippings from the shop. Yeah, these are the shop drippings. Give us a wow so good for that one. Okay, I will. Wow, so good. Yeah, he probably does. He loves this fake AI white guy making them in a factory. By the way, do you know why they do that? Why? It'll turn out this is Chinese, obviously, but they're doing that to show, because of the tariffs, they don't want to show Chinese people in a factory. They're like, oh, don't worry, they're made in America. And they show like a white guy making it in a factory. Yeah. Such a scam. It is scammy. Anyway, so these are everywhere. Just keep playing. Okay, my puppy, puppy,

They're all over the place. Like, realistic robot dog. Wow. I mean, it's a mixture of AI and real dogs. Most of the dogs are real. Like real puppy videos. Yeah. These are just regular puppies, right? Yeah. And then those are AI. Yes. It walks and runs. That's just a real dog. Yes. It's just a puppy. So I wanted to chase this down. Mm-hmm.

And find out what this actually was. Is it some sort of malware or whatever? It turns out when you go through enough menus, eventually it takes you to a website that has a portal that sells these for about $30. And it says, hurry up, there's only like...

98 left yeah and it says like only 10 minutes left or whatever and you refresh it it's like only 10 minutes left and it counts down only 10 minutes left yeah it's just this artificial scarcity and it turns out it's this piece of trash just trash absolute garbage but what's in adds insult to injury here right 8 000 people are are viewing this right now yeah yeah five seven seven yeah whatever what the the

the offensive part of this is that not only is it just this piece of crap thing, but when you go on like AliExpress, it's actually, keep going. Yeah, it's not 30 bucks. It's like a dollar. It's 1.5, one and a half dollars. Like a dollar. Yeah.

This thing. Okay. So these are like absolute trash Chinese toy. Yeah. 33, like 300% markup. Hold on. 3000% markup. So we found a guy who bought one. And so we thought we'd share what he found. You haven't even seen what it can do yet. In the commercial, they showed it running around and realistically looking from side to side. The one I received was

Runs on two AA batteries. So in theory it should be able to walk. It even has a mechanism inside for that. But does it actually walk? Well, that's a bit of a stretch. Here's what it actually does. I'm sorry. AI Roberts, dude, that's the right AI. Yeah. Is that not? Now here's how they portrayed it in the ad. The only function I can 100% guarantee will work all the time is this.

Pause that real quick. That's Sir I.A.I. Is it not? Yeah, there it is. Yes, younger and beautiful. Never take China's tech boom seriously. No. I'm serious. Honestly, whenever you see this living in the future and all this, it's all nonsense. And this again proves it. I'm sure you've all seen those puppy ads, right? Yeah, they have. Oh, yes. Oh, we got a little more. This is...

Is god, this will be the reason if this episode goes viral that we're doing right now. It's gonna be this quick. You reckon so? Let's find out. Yeah, we still have all the carnage and stuff coming. No, no, no. I'm not saying it's the best part. It's the funniest part. Okay, right. Let's see. A group of dancing grannies are enjoying their relaxing time. But did you notice? A special friend joined them today. A friend! Just a reminder. A friend! A friend! A friend! A friend! A friend!

Yes. You guys remember that, right? Yeah. Yeah. Who can forget? Who can forget China's robotics industry? Yes, it's humanoid robots. Yes. Pause it right when it comes up so we can show... Okay, so...

This is a glimpse into China's robotics future. If you haven't seen our last episode, I highly recommend you go check it out because we covered their half marathon that they did with the robots. And the propaganda showed all these victories and it was amazing and all this stuff. What we showed was actually what people filmed on their cell phones, which was a bunch of robots exploding into plastic pieces and falling on their face. It was horrible. It was a bunch of toys. Yes. All remote-controlled toys. Now, China's...

China keeps lauding itself as the future of robotics. Especially humanoid robots. We just keep seeing so many failures. And this is the latest. And this is actually terrifying. Yeah. Let's take a quick look. All right. So I'll get us out of there. These guys are busy, obviously, running a test or they're about to activate it or whatever. Robots on that red hook. Yes.

And as you can see, it just loses control. It starts trying to attack them. Yeah, it looks like it smashed their laptop. It smashed everything. It smashed everything. This is metal, right? Yeah, and it's scary. The guy is super scared. But hold on. We found the original. So that was a... You guys, if you had seen that on social media, because it just broke, we actually found the original audio. Yeah, so here we go. Turn it up. Make sure you can hear this. Okay, let's see the original audio of that clip.

It really gives you some perspective and you know what's weird? What? All of China's robots seem to be... Before they go crazy, they seem to be saying the same thing. Yeah, they are. Do you guys remember playing that soundbite? Remember all the other ones? I know, it's like they go kind of crazy. We did slow it down so you could watch their reactions. Oh, okay, yes. Let's take a look at their reactions.

Alright, here we go. Look at the guy. I mean, wouldn't you react to that?

Dude, it's so scary. Absolutely. I hate that so much. Yeah. It's rough. It's rough. I love it. But I love it. Yeah. But I love it. And more of that. Yes. Obviously, hopefully nobody gets injured. No, I don't want anyone to get hurt. More robot attacks. We have more content. Agreed. Wow. Okay. So now the important stuff. Now we're getting on to the important stuff. You know what?

All sorts of chaos happens in China every day. Okay, like insane stuff. Yeah. But I seem to always see patterns to the chaos. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like one week it'll be bridges collapsing, the next week it'll be factories on fire. It's true. You know what I mean? It's like it comes in groups. You know why? Why? Because a lot of it's intentional. Yes. People doing it on purpose. Correct. So this week, well, I'll just play the intro clip. Yeah. Yeah.

China's week on fire. All right, let's see what we got. Okay, so we're going to start on April 28th, as you all know, it's only a couple of days ago. This is in Runqi in Xinjiang. This is called the Wild Horse International Building, Yema, which I guess means Mustang. Yep. On fire, of course. Yep. So, man, we got a big fire in a big city. Mm-hmm.

All right, that happens. We all know that happens. But the interesting thing is it's like every single day, pretty much in this week, there was a big fire. Yeah, it wasn't just a fire. Some of the stuff was, well, at least rumored to be intentional. Yes. And one of them is an actual, like, it looks like a freaking terrorist bomb went off. Yeah, absolutely. It's insane. Yeah. So who knows what caused this particular fire? Yeah.

It's hard to say. But fire on the mind for a lot of people in Urumqi and Xinjiang because of what happened during the COVID lockdowns. They actually welded people in their apartments and they all burned to death. Yes, and that caused pretty much the end of COVID-0. Now here, this is the next day. Well, this is actually quite horrible. You've got a bunch of what are called Tejin, which are the special police, basically SWAT. They're not rescue. No. No.

And they are all posted on this one road here. You can see their vans. You can see them all standing around. Those are the guys that make people disappear. Those are not there to be like, oh, are you safe? You know what I mean? And you can see on the other side of the road, they're there too. It's important to know what their function is. Yes. So, you know, you got to think, why are there so many police? Why so many special police on this one road all parked there? What could be the reason for it? Well, it's more sinister than you think.

They're there to stop people coming and filming and looking at the scene of a terrible fire that happened at this Cook Lady restaurant on the 29th of April. So a day after the Rumchi fire. So blocking people from filming a disaster to upload it online is more important than helping victims. Yes. There's no reason to have the special police at the scene of... And it's the day after, right? And they're doing repairs and stuff. You don't need to have them there.

The thing is, this really spread online and it's an unfortunate tragedy. It's a restaurant. 22 people died. Yeah. Okay. Well, that's what they claim. That's what they claim. That's usually way low. It's very hard. It's so hard to tell. Yeah.

Because usually they say no casualties or very few. If you can see one or two dead people in the footage, they'll say one or two dead people. No, we'll see footage that'll have 20 dead people in it, and then China will say there are zero casualties. Correct. It's crazy. But again...

This was a serious fire. And unfortunately, it's a tragedy. 22 people in the restaurant lost their lives. And I mean, that's at bare minimum because that's what the Chinese government is admitting. And it's only because we had so much footage coming out of there. Yeah. Again, they can't hide it. It was such a big fire. Yeah. So what do they do? They sent the police, the special police to...

Sit on the street in front of the restaurant to make sure nobody comes and talks about it or takes photos or makes videos. And the meta aspect of breaking the fourth wall aspect of that is it's so people like us don't show you. Yeah. That's the end goal. Yeah, correct. To make sure nobody... They want to...

Why China's safe? Because China's safe and they want you to know it because they want you to invest in China. They want you to see them as the way out in this crazy world. China needs foreign investment like crazy right now. So all this kind of stuff counts against it. Do you think you're going to get massive foreign investment when the whole country's on fire? If people are setting factories on fire, people are dying everywhere. Like what? That's not good PR. No, it's not. Moving on from this tragedy, the next day...

We'll see when this finishes.

Oh yeah, just again to remind you. How did they respond? They've put up a big blue tarp around it and they set the special police. I see three vans and there's got to be like 15, 20. There's like a whole bunch on the other side. Those are black bag police. Look, and I don't want to keep harping on about this, but let's quickly take another look. Let's go back. So you have, you can see behind the vans there, like at least one, two, three, four, five, maybe 10 police all lined up on that side of the road, right? You can see them there in the black.

and three vans. But when you look on the other side of the road... So let's see. The people looking are confused as to why the special police are there too. You can see in the distance there are like three or four police there, maybe even more under the bus stop, and then one here. I mean, there's a lot of police just to stop people from seeing the site of a tragedy. You know?

Or to talk about it. If you block it off and you physically censor it, then nobody will know what's happening. That's right. And it's too, they want the news cycle to quickly refresh. They want people to forget about it because so many big tragedies happen. And that's the way they deal with it. They block it off. They censor it. They put up barriers. People don't remember. It wasn't that long ago, actually. The gym collapsed, I believe. Was that in the high school? And killed all those young high school, the volleyball team. It's tragic. Whole volleyball team dies or whatever.

And the parents come in. The parents don't even know what's going on. They're like, where's my kid? I heard that they died or whatever. Yeah. And then the police shut the whole thing down. Wouldn't let them talk about it. Blocked all their stuff. They're like, don't talk about it. Remember they sent in a party official that do not release any information about this. To the parents that are crying. Yeah.

Yeah, remember that? That's China. And we've got something similar coming up in the show later. Anyway, April 30th, so the next day in this Fengjing Jiayuan community in Taiyuan and Shaanxi. So this is all over the country, right? This is not in one concentrated area. In this residential area,

You see all these lovely residential blocks they have over here? So

So what's happened here is there was a massive explosion. What she's pointing out is the rear windows of her apartment and the front windows of her apartment were blown out. Both. That's a hell of an explosion. Because usually it'll be like one side near the explosion. You can see the cars and stuff on fire down there. Is this Syria? Yeah, I mean...

Just play it through, there's a lot of footage. I will, I will. I just wanted to explain what she was talking about. So you can see the cars on fire there. The explosion was massive. Obviously we've had to blur certain parts of it because of injury. We don't want to show injury. Yeah, because there's some fairly seriously injured people there. Again, no word of any casualties.

That's the crazy part. There have been no casualties announced. In a residential explosion that blew out everyone's things, like blew up 20 cars plus. Yeah. Blew up an entire building. I mean, look, you can see from a distance. It was a massive explosion. Huge.

So the fact that people's windows were all blown out all around it, like the actual epicenter of it, whichever apartment it came from or wherever it came from, whoever was in that exact vicinity must have just been completely vaporized. By the way, not a word about this. Yeah. Not a word. The other one with the 20-something people died in the restaurant.

restaurant had to get out because it was just so documented that they're like, okay, quick news story, okay, and then pull it, whatever. This, I didn't see a word. Not yet. I mean, that's the thing. You would expect them to release at least casualty figures by now. Who knows if there'll be an update, but it just shows you that this craziness happens all the time in China. You know, it doesn't look that bad now when you see them trying to put out the fire, but that's the aftermath. Look at this. Yeah.

I mean it was a... Can you see how many cars? It's like a war zone! All around, all those houses. How did that happen? It's such a massive explosion. Did you see the explosion? Yeah. You know, the explosion wasn't caught on camera, just the aftermath of it. No, but you saw the hole. Yeah. Right? Yeah.

The hole. Oh, you didn't see it? Yeah, there's a giant hole on the side of the building. Really? Let's go back. Sorry, I missed that. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. So here. Yeah. Look on the left. Left. Oh, is that where it came from? Look at it. I mean, it's a giant hole. Yeah. A giant gaping hole. It's possible, but it looks like a load of apartments obviously were gutted from the flame. You can see there when everything was on fire.

I mean, it looks like a bomb went off. Yeah. If you have an explosion next to all those electric vehicles and other vehicles there too, it's going to cause just chaos, isn't it? Yeah. China is just such a danger. That's the...

Lack of regulation. No, it's not lack of regulation. Lack of enforcement on anything. There are tons of regulations. They're just never enforced. And too much corruption. Yes. You pay for your license for building safety. You pay for your license for your elevator safety. You pay for your license for your kerosene safety. You bribe officials to store stuff you're not supposed to. Like we mentioned earlier, some people...

And of course, this is not confirmed, but some people say that it was a revenge against society attack and that deliberately somebody- Multiple people have said that. Yeah, deliberately set that explosion off. And that's possible. Yeah.

Because you know what? Again, we're not going to show it to you, but today there was another revenge against society attack where somebody plowed their car into pedestrians and bikes. It's just like it happens almost every day now in China. Yeah. Where somebody loses it and they snap and then they just drive into people. So why would they not set a bomb off?

Why would they not do, you know? Yeah, if they had the option. They're stabbing kindergartners. Yep. Right? Why not just blow up a house? Yeah, there's a huge problem with mental health in China and the fact that there's no way to treat it. Yeah. If someone has a mental issue, they can't go to a psychiatrist or something like that. There's no one to help them. There are no groups. There's no, like, you know, communities that can help them. So they snap, then they take it out on the public. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, it's very unfortunate. Very unfortunate. So yeah, this is another big tragedy. Remember, guys, we've shown you now, over the span of three days, three major...

big tragedies. This huge one, then the restaurant where 22 people died, maybe more, and then that building that caught fire in Urumqi, which I'm pretty sure they were casualties. Oh, this stuff's a daily occurrence. This is relatively mild compared to that factory spell, but we're going to have to revisit that because recently there's been another big spell of that. Yeah. Set in factories on fire on purpose. Mm-hmm.

You know, the interesting thing is though, when you look on social media, you know what you're going to see about China? You're going to see flashy cities and they'll be like, "Look how advanced China is living in the future." You don't get to see this side of things. This is the real China. This is what's happening.

At the same time as the lights on the buildings, you know? That's a good point. Recently I've been seeing a huge push for that nighttime light-up footage. So you guys have probably corroborated this. If you're on TikTok at all, you're probably seeing, and people have said they're just tired of it at this point, but people are seeing constant barrage of these cities at night footage. And cities at night being a Chinese city where they fly a drone around.

and they say, look at all these lights. China's living in the future. America's so far behind. It's collapsing, all this kind of stuff. It's just like, America's bad, China good footage, but it's always cities at night footage. Yes. And the reality is that China doesn't look like that because anything looks good at night. You can show an impoverished African city at night and it looks very modern too. Yes. That's what lights do. That's right. If you put lights and you set your exposure on your camera to pick up the light, you know, you can make it look very nice. The reality is China's

dealing with a huge rash of basically domestic terrorism, revenge against society. That is domestic terrorism. The ramming of people with cars. Yeah, we were talking about this the other day. You know how China was going on and on about how they cracked down on Muslim extremism or whatever in Western China? Yeah. And that's always celebrated and stuff, even amongst other countries or whatever. Yeah.

When they had relatively few domestic terrorist attacks from Muslims. Yeah. But you know what they do have every day is domestic terrorist attacks with revenge against society attacks, but that's not called domestic terrorism. No. Because it's Han Chinese people doing it, the majority of people. Yes. So what they do is they do it, and then it's just, oh, it's just some sort of accident. Yeah, somebody had a mental problem. Yeah, or they're drunk. They were drunk. Yeah, there's always an excuse. But you're right. It's a huge rise in domestic terrorism is what's happening. Yes.

Yeah. So let's see what's next. So these were the three consecutive days of pretty big events. Yeah. Unfortunately, this one is devastating. So now this is something that you will exclusively see here on the China show. Yes. Okay.

Do you want to read about this particular thing? Because before you read that, though, I would like everyone to pay attention to the police. What are they doing? They're doing that physical censorship garbage they love doing. Okay, can we see that? Yeah. See how they put the tarps up? Yeah, see if we can get that guy to walk out of the shot so we can see properly. There we go. There we go. So they're putting... You know what they're doing there? They're blocking off parents. That's not a crime scene? No. It's not a scene where there's a body? No. No.

They're blocking parents. They don't want anyone to see the parents are there. And why would the parents be outside of this? This is a college, right? This is a vocational college. Vocational college. April 27th. Okay. So this is April 27th. Liuzhou and Guangxi province, okay, in southern China. Yep. Both been there. Yes. We went through there on our documentary. A student got sick at school. Yep. Died at the hospital pretty soon after.

Parents were not notified or not able to see the body four days later. Yeah. So they went... So the body's not here. They died at the hospital. Yes. The parents go, okay, four days later, you still can't let me identify my dead child. Yes.

They go to the school. To protest. To protest. And they're like, let me see my child. We want to know what happened to my child. We need answers. But they wouldn't. They covered it up. They wouldn't let the parents ask questions or talk to anybody or even see their own child at the hospital, not at the school. So they went to the school to find out what's going on. Yeah. They got blocked off. The cops show up in a blanket. They put up the physical censorship blanket.

Yes. Around the parents. That are there trying to get answers. So that you, as a viewer right now that you're watching this live or you're watching it in post, cannot see or hear or know about this story. I know, isn't it tragic? China's reputation is more important than some grieving parents that have not been able to claim their child. Yeah. So, I mean, this has happened before and we've shown similar stories here because something must have...

Something must have gone embarrassingly wrong at the school and it must have been a lapse of the school's safety or something. I'm just guessing. It'll be signed to the government. Yeah, there'll be something like either a government child bullied the other one and killed them by mistake or they committed suicide because of too much pressure or you never know what it could be. You don't know. Whatever the reason, the child...

mysteriously fell very ill at school, was taken to the hospital immediately, died at the hospital, and the parents have not been able to see their child for four days. So what do they do? They go to the gate of the school to try and demand answers. Cops are called to block them off so that nobody can ask anything about it. No questions are asked. No. You know? No. So what did we do about this school? We wanted to know a little bit about this, you know? This is grim. Yeah. This is obviously grim. Yeah.

Again, China would rather censor anything than to face the truth. Yes. Because someone's head in the government would be on the line. Yeah.

What I did want to do, though, is every time we explore an area that we haven't shown you before, for example, Liuzhou, I wanted to take you on the ground into the city to give you an idea. So this school, this college is in the main part of Liuzhou, a very major developed city in Guangxi, one of the bigger cities. Millions and millions of people in the city. A lot of development, a lot of aid. In fact, Xi Jinping had a visit there, so it's got a ton of priority, right?

This is one of those cities you'll see the drone footage at night. I'll show you later on that. But what I wanted you to do is take you away from this scenario and let's actually look around the school. Because again, this is in like a high priority nice area. Yes. Because I always think it serves a purpose for you because we know already. We know what China looks like. We've seen the entire country. Yes.

But for you to understand that past this propaganda, what China actually looks like on the ground, I'm going to take you directly to this school. Let's go. Yeah. Okay. So you see the entrance there? It's got the diamond patterns. You can see the name of the school. Correct. All right. So beyond this footage, we want to take you on the ground and do some street views. Okay. So we're going to go beyond the Great Firewall, the stuff that China doesn't want you to see and what they wouldn't want you to see in this scenario. Okay.

is maybe what it looks like in real life. Okay. Here's the school. So you can recognize the entrance there. That's what we were just looking at where they were hiding the parents behind the screens, right? Yeah. And you can just let this roll. I will. So, I mean, nice day, by the way. Nice day. Beautiful day. This is on the main road in a major city, right? Yes.

What happens when you go behind the school? So like where the dorms and stuff are. What happens when you're off of a main road in China and you can copy and paste this experience we're about to take you on in any Chinese city? Absolutely every Chinese city. So there are the dorms. So new, new development. Yeah. Right. Some of the dorms and some of the classrooms. Right. But in reality, when you look around past that...

See, look, there's a banner that was just there. It's relatively new, just unveiled. When you look around, it's still being built in some areas, right? If you look around that, let's actually go on the road. So this is literally one road off the main road. Yes. That's still the school dorms. That's the campus from basically from behind. Yes, it's another gate, right? Let's take you on a tour. You can see the dorms in the distance, yeah? In the classrooms? Yeah.

Those are the school buildings. This is, again, China in real life versus nighttime drone footage propaganda, right? Yeah. The street view car had to go on these streets because this is a normal road in China and Liuzhou and around the main area. That's an X road, yeah. Right? Yeah.

Main area. Yeah. So we want to take you around. It's kind of interesting, not just to like say, oh, look at how crappy it is, but also to just give you an insight into what daily life looks like for the average city dweller in China. Not a rural dweller. You mean like that little kid just standing there all day? Yeah, thinking about his future. The average city dweller. Yes. This is not the countryside farmland. No, it's not. This is in almost the center of Liuzhou, a city with millions of people. Correct. Yeah.

In Guangxi in southern China. So it gives you a little insight onto what kind of... I mean, this corroborates everything we've seen in China. When you drive around China off of the main highway, this is what it looks like. And this is why... And it'll help you piece together something. Why does China put in billions of dollars...

to try to do outward-facing propaganda to make Americans think that China's better than America. Why do you think they need to do that? This is the reality. Yeah, because in reality, it's not all that great.

what's that guy doing he's really sus i was like who's this he's doing something you think so yeah dude it's like parking in a secret area behind the school they're dealing in something sus i think he's stealing gas out of that truck maybe he knows he could just be doing nothing yeah uh but yeah i mean what you've got is like a bunch of nail houses here you know type thing um

Some of those are newly constructed. Yeah, this is not old. You know, the old stuff is the stuff with bricks. And when I say old, usually that stuff means it's from the 70s or 80s. Yes. Look, that's got brand new burglar bars on it. They're all shiny. These are new, right? Some of these buildings are new. So this is your average city-dwelling citizen that's not in the, you know, the shiny high-rise. Yeah. This is how the majority of Chinese people live. They do. And it's much worse when you get out into the countryside. Remember, this is basically a city center.

When you get out into the countryside in China, it gets dire. Yeah, you can see the new construction up there, right? Yeah. And this is just a glimpse into it. And I just wanted to do exactly where that story happens so you can have some more context here. I wonder what happens here. It's like, hey, kids, get off my rubble. You know, instead of get off my lawn. Yeah, get off my rubble. That's kind of sad. There is a guy at some point standing in said rubble. Isn't it just so grim?

It's Syria. It does look like it, yeah. I mean, it looks like a war zone. It actually does. Yeah. This wasn't cherry-picked. No. This was the shot that we just showed. Because we were trying to research the university, so we used the Baidu Street View, which is like Google Street View, basically. It's a knockoff of that, right? Yeah.

So we went down and we were like, what are we looking at here? Because you wouldn't know if you saw, look, there's chickens on the road there. Yeah, from that main shot, you wouldn't know. You wouldn't know. And you know what, the thing is, this is exactly how we remember China.

It's exactly this. Yes. And this is the real China. Anywhere you go in China, not any specific region or city, anywhere you go in China, once you get off the main roads, once you start exploring, you'll start to see things like this. And again, it's not even exploring. It's literally in the city. Sure. You know, it's next to this major university. Yes. Yes.

So this is where the college kids, when they finish classes, if they want to go for like a romantic walk with their date, this is where they end up. Quite literally. I mean, the gate of the university is right there. It actually, it's not even a gate. You can go into this area. We'll drive through it. I took you guys into the town here. We're going to go into the actual town. Okay. Which I think is kind of fascinating. Okay. So you can see the street view up there. You saw it for a second. Yes. We're at 22 out of 50 for the Super Chat goals. Oh, excellent. Getting close. Thanks.

This is the, we're getting into the town here. So this is like, you know, this is your, basically the suburbs, if you think about it. Yeah. Isn't it? Yeah. I mean, I would call this the suburbs. It's right next to a huge university. Okay. So you would expect to anywhere in the world, right next to a big university, you know, you'd expect it to be a fairly decent area, you know? Mm-hmm.

But you know what it is? This is a fairly decent area for China. Yeah. It is. Like, this is not below par. No. You know what I mean? It's true. This is your average place. You can see the university buildings there, actually, in the distance. Oh, there's the dude. There's the guy. There's the guy standing in... No, pause that real quick. I'm not going to make you pause it ever again. Okay. Whoops. But you know what that guy does? What? His name's Mason. Oh, let me get back to him. Is he here? He's close by. He's on the left. Okay. Okay.

Okay, I went a bit too far back as usual. He's coming. He's coming. This guy's name is Mason. We actually know him pretty well. Oh, yeah, because good old Mason, this is what he does. He likes to throw bricks. He does. If you know, you know. He's got ample supply of them. Let's put it that way.

For those of you wondering about the rubble everywhere, this is quite normal. You'll get these... I stood on one for a thumbnail. What will happen is in these particular kind of areas is they'll build these very cheap concrete houses because they live in those areas, right? Yep.

But then they'll build them and they'll make them taller so that if the government comes to take the land away, they'll get compensated more per stories. So those particular ones that have been knocked down, that means they've already been compensated. They're going to get smashed and the government's going to come in and build something there. But all the other ones that are not smashed, people will remain living in them. Yes, that's how it works. For as long as they can before the government comes and forcefully removes them anyway. It's usually the case.

pretty vile all the trash and stuff yeah but you know what do you expect i mean take take some pride in where you live you know suppose i mean the kind of the mentality in china is like well the government should be dealing with this because they're like it's they're a communist government yeah yeah they don't yeah exactly the communist government will will it will take your land and house they do yeah they will literally do that yeah that's what they're known for mm-hmm

I mean, again, there's a very specific reason we're showing you this on the ground footage is because this is the reality of China. You can have thousands of these drone shots, and it's always of the same handful of cities, by the way. You'll always see the same flashy buildings. Although we'll even do it here, which I'll show you in a minute. This is the town. This is right outside the entrance, isn't it? Yeah. So this is where you get your food. There's some restaurants. There's a little bar there. It's kind of fun. Yeah. Yeah.

This is the China we know. Yes. We've hung out in many a place. There's a little Chuar place over there. Skewers. You get skewers there. Chuan. And people will sit there on their plastic chairs and drink beer and have fun. I mean, it's fun. Oh, yeah. I got fond memories. Me too. But then you have to think about where you are. Yes. You look around and you go, damn. You also got to wonder about the meat you're eating. Like, where is it sourced? And you have to actually be concerned about that. Yes. And this is the kind of place you get gutter oil for sure. Oh, for sure. Yeah.

By the way, pause that there. Okay. See those bicycles? Oh, yes. You can see there's a couple of bicycles there. This is poetic because this is a little hangover of what happened in China. The shared bike boom. It was a scam of a thing that happened and it was insane. I've made a couple of videos about it in the past.

But this shared bike investment fraud happened in China where they got so much money invested in them as long as they pumped out the bikes. And they produced millions and millions of bicycles. And obviously, it was too much supply. It wasn't enough demand. And so then other companies saw this as a great way to make money. They also started these startups, these shared bicycle startups. Millions and millions. Mobike, Blue, something or other, there was a whole bunch of them.

And what happened was the guys that, you know, the bosses of these companies, they'd steal all the money and run away. Then the bicycle companies would go bankrupt and they would have millions of these bikes just trashing the place. All on the sidewalk, like blocking everyone's way. So the government actually basically picked them all up and threw them in these huge like open fields and stuff. And it's, this is just a small one. Yeah. This is a small one. There's mountains everywhere.

You know, it pisses me off a lot because the amount of energy that was used to make these bikes. Because the government simultaneously, when this happened, they made these hundreds of millions of bikes or whatever. Do you know what they did? They pushed to the rest of the world that you guys are doing nothing and we're going forward with green technology. We're making sure everyone has access to bikes that they pay for, by the way. They beep with their cell phone or whatever. And then they get access to it. And then their carbon footprint goes down. Oh, yeah. Well, what about the carbon footprint making these hundreds of millions of

They wasted, they destroyed the environment to create these things. Because think about all the energy you have to use to smelt the metal, to create the rubber for the tires, all the electronics, all the bits and pieces. They created this huge amount of waste and then they weren't used, most of them, and they just ended up in these big landfills. So now what are you going to do? If you want to recycle that stuff, you have to use a whole lot more energy. Yes.

melting down the metal and all that. It's biggest, one of the biggest wastes in human history. I have no idea how many of these things were made, but there were hundreds of millions of these things. If you've seen the piles, if you've seen the pictures and the footage, it's absolutely insane. This is just a new one, by the way, because there's new footage. They're still dealing with it. Yes. It's crazy. Yeah.

Every city had this. So you will always find in these rubble piles like that stolen bikes because they'll just, you know, the locals will recycle them, try to sell them for scrap and things like that. These dudes walking home, imagine this is your life, you know, you're strolling on home through the rubble and you're like, wait, when did the bomb go off? Sure. Yes. Fairly depressing, but you know, it's really interesting. Our

probably second or third ADV China episode that we filmed about superstitions. We rode into near our shop, almost looks exactly the same. It's very far away from this. I honestly could barely tell. You would not know. I challenge our audience to go watch that and see if you can tell the difference between this particular little urban village. Oh, because this is like thousands and thousands of times over is this village, is this neighborhood, I should say, because it's in a major city.

Those stairs look precarious. Oh, yeah. Look how thin they are. I like this. Look at this China graffiti. But my favorite part about that, I don't know if you've seen that. The China graffiti had minions. Yes. There was a minion. It's your favorite. I like this better. Good, good study, Day Day Urr.

So good, good, study day, day up is a phrase in Chinese, which means study hard and your future will improve. 好好学习天天想想。 That's actually a Mao Zedong quote. Yes, I think so. And if you translate it directly, it says good, good, study day, day up. So they translate it directly, but then still got it wrong because they wrote er instead of up. Remember I made those t-shirts 好好喝酒天天想想。 Yes, yes.

I wonder if they drink alcohol day day up I wonder if they just didn't finish the sentence says good good study a day day your mom gay I mean it's possible that's actually what they want yeah yeah exactly they got that wrong so this is the same city yeah

See what they do? Bam. Ken, yeah, exactly. This is what you're seeing on the internet. You see this. But we've just shown you what it looks like on the ground next to a major university in that city. Yeah.

China is the land of shortcuts and facades. And this is a facade. All of these things you see are a facade because they hide the filth and they hide the problems which China faces many. And it's such a disservice to the people of China. It is. Because everybody thinks China's got it all sorted out because, you know, fairy lights. That's it. You get spraying fountains with lights on it and all of a sudden this is Liuzhou. No, Liuzhou is what we just showed. The vast majority of people live like that. Yeah. You know.

Absolutely. Ridiculous. It is. It's dumb. So this is the same city. This is what you get. This is the real life in China does not want you to see the reality. Nope, because they want your investment money. Yeah, China's living in the future, remember? Anyway, Softpower Hour, guys. This is where we talk about how China's trying to change your mind.

What's going on here, Simo? So this is your average school. Kids are waiting in line to get some food at the cafeteria. But what you should notice is that everybody's studying as well. They're trying to cram for their tests. Yes. Right? And China tests are the key. Yeah. You can bribe your way through the test. If you can't, you got to study. You got to do rote memorization, right? Yeah.

But the reason I'm showing this is because this is your average scene. But while they're studying math or... Doesn't it look like a prison? It does. While they're studying math or science or whatever they're doing right now, you're also doing this in the classrooms because this has been going around the Chinese internet in promotion of fighting back against tariffs. Because in China right now in the public school system,

They're teaching their students a song about how America is bad and evil and terrible and how China is going to beat them in the trade war. Because just like the CCP does, they throw their citizens in front of the government as a meat shield. Yes. There are a couple of things that's a little unnerving about this clip. We've shown in the past, we'll continue to show how they use children in their propaganda efforts, which I'm very uncomfortable about. I hate that.

But they're also using a beauty filter on this phone, which is very strange. They do that all the time. So all the children look very weird as a result. Especially the boys. Yeah, like alien faces. Look at that little dude in the background there. He's like, oh. Oh, he'll pop up in a minute. So anyway, let's take a look at these lyrics. U.S. raised tariff to play dirty. What an arrogant action. I think you're not reading it in the right way.

This isn't a horrible thing to say. US race tariff to play dirty. What an arrogant action. They thought it is a tough action. Actually, it is foolish and ridiculous.

China's never afraid of this. We are a massive country with credit. Not quite sure what that I mean. Yeah, yeah. You put on tariff, I reciprocate. What else can you do with me, huh?

Yeah.

Chinese people have the power to make U.S. nervous. Kind of a terrible skill. Yes. It's like, oh, you better watch out for the Chinese makes me nervous. You know what I mean? How about you spend some of this tariff money that you're bragging about and like fix your freaking classrooms, these poor kids. I know. This derelict wasteland. Yep. Imperialism is set to fail.

Isn't China doing neo-imperialism all over Africa? Speak for yourself and the BRI across the world. Yes. I think China's probably the most imperialist country at the moment. They've completely replaced America's past imperialism. Yeah. They go into all these African countries everywhere buying up ports. Ripping people. Yeah. It's terrible. Forcing African children in cobalt mines. Yes. Bro. Yeah. Let's not even compare. Yes, exactly.

The rise of China is unstoppable. What's that? Say a lie enough and, you know, it becomes the truth. You know, they don't even have air conditioning in their classrooms, by the way. No. In a lot of them. No, they don't. The majority of them, actually. Look, even when they do, they don't like to turn it on. Like the walls are dirty and stuff. Yeah.

Here's the problem. No harm, no foul. These kids are not their fault. Poor kids. They are being indoctrinated into absolute hate. Do your... I'm just speaking to Americans here. If you have kids, are they coming home from school and singing songs about China sucks, their tariffs are really unfair. Yes, we will defeat them. Defeat them with our stronger economy. Yeah. No. No. You don't get taught that, guys.

No. Because you're children. I'm actually kind of mad. You know, I get very mad because my daughter comes home from school and she would have learned something about a different culture. And when it's near Chinese New Year, she comes home from school and she's learned how to make a Chinese lantern. Public school. Yes. They do a dragon dance. In rural public school in America. Yeah. They make a little dance. They make a little thing about the different cultures. They do it for all cultures around the world. They learn the positives of other people's cultures. They don't get taught that China is their enemy.

No, but China literally is teaching the most vile Haitians. This is a tiny little smattering. I did a whole video expose on the textbooks. I translated a textbook. Yeah, yeah, I remember. It's bad, dude. Yeah, so they're teaching their kids now that America's the enemy because of the tariffs and that we will destroy them and America's arrogant and dirty and all this kind of stuff, right? Ridiculous. And as we all know, they set up the Japanese flags to stomp on them and it's childish, right?

And at the same time, just absolutely abhorrent and disgusting that they treat children like this. And I hate to say this, but they're getting ready for something. They're preparing their populace for something. Yes. Perhaps a Taiwan invasion where they have to get people to be like, oh shit, life sucks now. But I got to be like back in my country or whatever, you know?

Well, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, put out this official video from the Chinese government. Speaking of the devil, by the way. Yeah. Getting people ready for something. Yes. Okay. This is what it says. Never kneel down. Let's take a look. Have you heard of the eye of the storm? It appears calm for a moment, but is actually a deadly trap. The calm before an even fiercer storm.

The US has stirred up a global tariff storm and deliberately targeted China, playing a 90-day pause game with other nations, forcing them to limit trade with China. This is just like the deadly trap of the eye of the storm. Bowing to a bully is like drinking poison to quench thirst. It only deepens the crisis. AI schlock. You know what's very interesting about this?

is, okay, they're talking about all this, you know, America's targeting and all that. And then they show all this footage of job fairs, applications to show that America doesn't have jobs. Then they showed, you see, and then they showed that like derelict mining equipment from an ancient 1800s mine in America. It's like, oh, all the industry's gone away. Then they show the protests that they themselves funded in America. Yeah.

You know? You know when you see all these protests that happen where it's like tax the rich and all this? Yeah, yeah. That is involved in a lot. So many of those protests, those anti-government protests and these big divisive protests have government links to the Chinese government. And so that they can use it in things like this. You know what I mean? They actually get people to hold up placards. Especially like Chinese friendship organizations. Yes. Yes.

Yeah, they do. This is the central government putting this. Yeah, this is the Chinese government. And this is real footage. This is not social media. Yeah, let's see where it goes. History has proven compromise won't earn you mercy. Kneeling only invites more bullying. China won't kneel down.

Because we know, standing up for ourselves keeps the possibility of cooperation alive. While compromise snuffs it out, China won't back down. So the voices of the weak will be heard, bullying will be stopped, and justice will not disappear from the world.

All bullies are just paper tigers. Did you see that it had, again, they're calling America a paper tiger. They have an actual picture of, okay, sorry, we have to show this part again. Because we know standing up for ourselves keeps the possibility of cooperation alive. They show Meng Wanzhou, who avoided sanctions, broke the law, was arrested in Canada for breaking the law. For Huawei. Yes, for Huawei, for breaking sanction law.

They kidnapped Canadian citizens, did this hostage diplomacy. She got to be free living in her mansion in Canada. She just couldn't leave Canada. She wasn't even under arrest. She just had an ankle monitor. They put these Canadians in prisons with the lights on 24-7 and tortured them. They tortured them. Yeah, for years until there was basically a prisoner transfer here. But she got to live in her multimillion-dollar mansions and enjoy her life eating steak or whatever. Yeah.

But they're like trying to use this as an example. Do you see that? It's a paper tiger, but it's America. It's got the American flag on the tail. That's a weird flex, by the way. China's literally known as the paper tiger.

But you know what's funny? This is a weird flex because that is the shittiest tiger I've ever seen in my life. That is like a child made it. Yeah. It's like, yeah, look what I made. That's really good, honey. Look what I made in special ed class. Yeah, you know, like no harm, no foul. Yeah, exactly. That's what they made. They're just paper tigers.

The US does not represent the entire world. What? Special aid art class. You know. Trade makes up less than a fifth of the world's total. When the rest of the world stands together in solidarity, the US is just a small, stranded boat. So the US is just a small, stranded boat, by the way. Okay? And then... Imperialists are always arrogant. Imperialists are always arrogant. Are you speaking of yourself?

Yeah. Speaking of yourself with this very immature video. Remember, guys, this is the Ministry of the Foreign Affairs. Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson put this out. That is the highest level of diplomacy to go overseas. It's like that's who addresses the rest of the world. Yes. In an official capacity from the government. And they're like...

Imperialists are always arrogant. America's a paper tiger. America's a stranded boat by itself. Oh, imperialists are always arrogant. If they show a bit of reason... If they show a bit of reason, it's only because they're forced to do so. What does that even mean? By the way, only nine minutes left on the Super Chat goal, so give me... Oh, okay. We have ten left. Oh, wow. Okay. Make no mistake, the U.S. will keep flip-flopping and playing hardball, but China will stand firm.

No matter how hard the wind blows. No matter how clouds rage. Wow, that wasn't a very elegant landing of their probe, their fake CG probe. Anyway, have you seen how they're showing all this fancy, our space race, all of our technology? The brighter the stars shine...

Someone has to step forward, torch in hand, to shatter the fog and illuminate the path ahead. This sucks. Every nation stands tall. The world will break through the walls of hegemony. I don't think they understand what hegemony means. It's one of those words they use a lot. Yeah, they do. And they also showed the failure of marathon where all the robots fell and broke. Exactly. But this is their achievement. For China, for the world, we must rise and fight on.

China won't kneel down. Really? So this is a stupid thing to say because if there's a nation where a lot of kneeling happens, it's China. And you know what the kneeling is too? The kneeling is bowing down to authority. Yes. So it is the stupidest thing to claim. Yeah. You, the Chinese government I'm speaking to, have created a nation of people that must bow down to you. They must kneel down. Look at this footage. They kneel and they beg...

You take their money away. You take their jobs away. You have a massive unemployment. You don't pay people on time. You get rid of their rights as citizens. You take their land. You take their everything. You take their families away. You disappear people. You have an 8 out of 100 on the Freedom Index. You are a bloody dictatorship that puts millions of people in concentration camps in modern times.

It forces your citizens to beg and kneel for the very basics of human dignity. Yes, basic rights. And you claim that you do not kneel down. Yes. And for those of you who might be a bit confused, this is something that's got a lot of historical contents. Kowtowing is something that I believe started in China. It's a Chinese word. And that means to lie down, kneel in front of somebody to show respect.

basically beg for mercy and to show the highest respect. And what you're seeing here is whenever there's a dispute, because there's no legal process in China, if, for instance, the Chinese government took your land or let's say a real estate company didn't complete the project and you've lost your entire life savings or a bank refuses to give you your money, the only option they have is to go and kneel down and beg the

the government, to beg the institution, to beg the company to pay them their wages that haven't been paid in like six months. Or in this case, to beg the police officer to not take away his e-bike, which he needs for work. So when it comes to kneeling down, it's something that China is so, so used to. This is a ritual that happens in schools where the children have to kneel down and beg the

I just hate that scene. Yeah. The woman, the woman, sorry, the students are kneeling down to their parents. Yes. And the woman is just on her phone messing around. Doesn't care. Yeah. This one with the earmuffs. Doesn't give a shit. I mean, that's pretty despicable. I mean, the kid's literally like kneeling down in front of her. She's like trading socks or whatever. Doesn't care. Doesn't care. Yeah. We hit the goal. Oh, just now. We hit the goal. Okay. Wow. Sorry. Wrong one.

Go, Gene! I think you should give that little tease of the robbery. Yes, that means you guys get a free Xiaoban Ho episode, which is the amusement park episode. Can you throw that quickly in the chat right now? I'm doing it right now. I'm going to put it in the... Thank you very much, Super Cheddars. That means everyone right now watching the show gets this episode. Yes. You get to see it first. Free Xiaoban amusement. Thank you very much, everybody. That's very generous of you. It's wonderful.

Getting back to the kneeling, though. Yeah. Sorry. Again. No, I mean, I'm glad we hit the super goal, super chat goal. And we had just finished kneeling. But again, China, to say that you won't kneel down and China won't kneel down is the stupidest thing. Because like I said, I have never seen as much kneeling down as I have in China. Me too. It's probably the most kneeling down nation, you know.

unfortunately, in the world because there is no other recourse. You know, in a place like America, people can stand up with a banner and scream loudly about their gripes and their problems. And, you know, they can go to the press and they can do whatever. In China, you can't. You're actually reduced...

And there's kind of a famous meme that goes around where it shows Chinese people protesting abroad and they've got these mean looking guys with their Chinese flag saying like, kneel down and lick your master's ass. You know, that's literally what he's got. Yes. And then it's like Chinese people protesting in China. It shows them all kneeling and begging in front of a government office. And that's actually the truth. You are true. Yeah. It's pretty horrible. Sorry, I'm just putting that in the... You're just putting it in the description and stuff? Is it in the description? Yeah.

It's in the description as well. Okay, cool. So now you guys can get the free stuff. Thank you so much once again for achieving the SuperJet goal. That's wonderful. All right, guys, let's continue. It's time for Worldview, where we talk about everything in the world, specifically with regards to China. And what do we have today?

Well, let me tell you something. China's always talking about how they don't get involved in other people's affairs. That is a thing that China says all the time. Are you suddenly like a southern cowboy all of a sudden? I don't know why. Okay. I just got my passion and feeling in it. Yes, exactly. I ain't kneeling for no one. I ain't kneeling for no one. But China says they never get involved. That's actually their foreign policy is that we don't get involved in other nations' affairs. In fact, this is foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian. He used to be there. Oh, he used to be there. Reject him! Reject him!

He got demoted and he has to paint signs. He literally has to paint boundary signs on the ocean. Yes. Anyway, China has been upholding the principle of non-interference in other countries' eternal affairs. Wish we had a really here because, in fact, something very horrifying happened. Yes, a really. The Philippine authorities nab alleged Chinese spy near commission on electric office. You can turn it now, wait a minute.

So what happened was China's been getting very involved in other people's affairs and other countries' affairs. In fact, they've been trying to spy at a record level across the world, particularly in the Philippines. The Philippines has been standing strong. Shout out to Marcos Bongbong.

who has been guiding the Philippines into a stance that is not backing down to China. Yes. The South China Sea, this whole area is very contested and China claims the entire thing and does not give an inch to any other country that's their own territory. Yes. So the Philippines, they draw a line right up to the Philippines basically and say all of this is ours. They keep sending spies into their country. They keep

uh, shooting them with water guns. They keep driving the fishermen out. They keep ramming their ships. They're bullying the Philippines into submission. And the Philippines is saying no. And shout out to the Filipino people for not putting up with China. Agreed. Uh,

shout out to Vietnam for doing the same. But the Philippines has been taking the brunt of this because the Philippines is a U.S. ally. Correct. And we do have military presence in the Philippines. If something kicks off with Taiwan, China is very concerned that there are U.S. bases and influence in the Philippines that could do something about it. And them being our ally means they're going to fight with us. Yes. And they want to test this too. They want to see if the Philippines is actually going to do anything about this.

So they've been sending spies over and there's been an election, right? There's been elections happening. And what they did was they sent a spy over with something very scary in his trunk. It'll zoom in, Dory. Yeah, we've already seen a couple of zooms. Okay. Do you want me to explain what it is? Yeah, explain what this is. So this is right outside the Commission on Elections office, which is very relevant. So what you've got here, I think it's called an IMEI catcher, something along those lines. It's basically a rogue cell tower.

And what it's used for is man-in-the-middle attacks. So let me explain this to you. All cell phones, as you know, they connect to the local network, whatever tower.

This, you know, goes... I'll be the cell phone. Okay, there's a cell phone tower. So what you have is you put this device in between. It connects to the tower, okay? And then it broadcasts itself as a fake tower with a strong signal. So, you know, your phone's going to go for the strongest signal that it picks up, right? So it's going to connect to this. And it's going to seem like it's the real thing because it does actually connect to the network through this, okay? But then what this particular device does, and apparently it can have up to a three kilometer radius depending on your antennas and so on.

When your phone connects to this device, this device tries to kick your phone down from a 3, 4, or 5G connection down to edge or one of the lower Gs that doesn't have very good encryption. So it's easy for them to monitor all traffic. So what they can actually do is they can extract your phone calls, your text messages, and various other things. Of course, now it gives them access to the data, the raw data. They can mine it. They can try to hack it, whatever. So this is a very dangerous device.

kind of a situation because they can snoop on what's going on in that commission of elections office. Anyone with a cell phone that connects to this device is now potentially compromised. Yeah, if you want to look it up, it's called the IMSI catcher, right? I-M-E-I, something along those lines. Something along those lines. It's pretty easy to look it up. All the links are here.

There are, of course, different names for it, but basically it's a rogue tower. It's like a fake cell phone tower that tricks your phone into connecting and authenticating with it. Yep. As we know, China does have AI 5G expertise. Oh, yeah. What is that? That's terrifying. Isn't it just? I mean...

Look, at the end of the day, you'll probably notice something's wrong because your phone probably has a crappy connection. Actually, crappy speeds and drops down below 3G. Still. But some people don't know that. Like, you know when you go into a bad area, like in a tunnel or something, it'll drop down to edge or... Well, some countries don't have encryption natively. That's true. I don't even know how good the Philippines system is. So you wouldn't know. Yeah, this is true. They wouldn't be doing this if it was obvious. Apparently, this guy had been driving around a lot. And...

This is, of course, the Chinese government is going to be using this information. Think about it. To sway elections.

Or to target people. And they'll know exactly firsthand what people are discussing, what text messages they're sending. They're going to know who to target. They're going to know now some soft spots, some blackmail. They'll be able to convince people, maybe phone them up and say, hey, I heard you voted for this person or you want to vote for this person. Don't do it. Otherwise, your family goes away. It can also get way worse. Of course. It's called the Stingray. Stingray Cellular Surveillance Platform. This particular one, apparently.

Excellent. Cool. Thanks for the cool security. And thanks, Ryan the Gnome, for being a cell tower. Yeah, you can. It's just, it's sneaky. It's disgusting. And I really hate this. You know why? Because there's no way this is just a rogue dude doing it by himself. No. This is the Chinese government. But why are they never called out? Yeah.

Yeah. They're like, oh, a Chinese spy did this. I mean, they're doing this everywhere they hack the US infrastructure. They're trying to turn off your water so you die of thirst. There should be serious repercussions for something like this. I can't believe. Election interference in a foreign country. How is this not escalated this beyond reason? Yeah. I don't want it to, but you have to make this country answer to something. Yeah. It's got to be like- This is out of control. This is like an act of war. You're getting there. Yeah. Right? Yeah.

It's nuts. They should be calling in the embassy. They should be disciplining them. There should be some kind of punishment for this, for doing this. But it just gets brushed off. Oh, just another Chinese spy court spying and doing election interference. Let's move on, you know?

Anyway, you can see the inverter over there. It's powering it from a car battery or something. Anyway, let's finish because we have way too much material. Okay. You get the idea. You want to cover the rest of the stuff? We'll just brush through it because all the sources down below, you guys have homework, is to open the articles in the description. Yeah, I mean, we always put articles down below so that you can follow up. Just a reminder. Yes, they don't interfere. They're really...

You know, we need to make that a soundbite.

So China's been secretly, you know, they won't budge. We won't kneel down. We won't kneel down. We won't call Trump. We won't do anything, right? We won't be the guys that buckle in this trade war. Well, they secretly actually have been exempting things they need. They've already blinked. They already blinked massively. Yeah. They blinked on a few things. We don't know the entire list, but it's some pharmaceutical goods, some chemicals that they absolutely needed. And most importantly, on the next

page. Some jet engine stuff, right? Yes, but even more importantly... Microchips? Yes, this. This has actually exposed something. Terrafor has been kind of interesting in kind of uncovering some of China's dependence secrets because...

Because they keep blustering. They have billions of dollars of propaganda. They go out there and be like, we don't care. We're going to win this trade war. This doesn't matter to us. But it really, really, really matters. The number one biggest concern for China right now in terms of its exports is its auto industry, its EV industry, which it's trying to conquer the world with. It's cheap garbage and EVs that catch on fire.

Yep, those ones. And unfortunately, what this trade war has done is exposed that they're highly dependent on American chips for said cars. Yes. So if they can't get those chips, their auto industry basically slams to a halt. Yeah, it's going to cost a lot more. Or cost a lot more for them. And they just don't have the time, energy, or money to do that right now. I mean, wait till you see our next week's episode.

Yeah, it's insane. With what's happening right now. Insane. Anyway, long story short, it's been exposing a lot of things like this. So good read. They've very quietly been exempting all these things, which basically is backing down. Yes. Okay. Also, De Minimis kicked in. Like today. I think it was today. Or like last night or something. So cheap packages, the reason Timu and Xi and these big companies were able to take over. What were you going to say? Cheap what? Cheap.

I was going to say countries for some reason. Countries, companies. Cheap companies, cheap goods companies like Timu, ships your door at a loss, basically, because they want to conquer the U.S. market. You know that joke? What? You know, like, why is the United Kingdom called a kingdom? Why? Because it's ruled by a king. Why is China called a country? Stop.

Teemu, is that going to stop selling those goods directly to the customer because they can't? Tariffs are going to hurt them really badly. So what's happening here is that the U.S. isn't going to be able to get their schlock, cheap crap that catches on fire from Teemu anymore unless it goes through an actual retailer, like a physical retailer in America that's already been set up. Who's going to have to pay those tariffs, right? Yeah. Stop laughing at your own tariff. I'm sorry. Moving on. Sometimes you got to do it.

I've got to just put it out there. And I understand having lived in America now for a number of years. The hyper-consumerism is real. People do need to keep buying stuff. It's like if a package doesn't arrive every day or every other day, people feel like incomplete almost. I hate that. Okay. It's not necessary, guys. It's not everyone. Of course. No, I'm just saying I've noticed that trend. Obviously, it's not everyone. Sure.

It's nice to be able to buy a little gadget and a little thing to kind of scratch that itch, but you have to really think about it. At what cost? All this junk that you're buying is just destroying the earth. And I don't want to sound like an environmentalist, but they're sending these massive ships that burn this crude oil that like really is bad. They're producing this crap slave labor stuff for you in these factories. And it's really making people miserable.

You're getting a garbage thing that you forget about in a week. Yeah. What's the point? Maybe just buy nice stuff. Yeah. Pay the extra premium. True. You know? True. I'm personally, you know, maybe it's selfish, but I'm very happy to see Timu go the hell away. Golf clap. Yes. Congratulations. Thank you. Yeah. So that's just what I explained. Yep. For sure.

There's a lot of news. There are three reports right now. I want you guys to open these. This is how China is actually crushing dissent around the world, but within the UN and through organizations. For example, there's puppet organizations that they're growing called Gongos.

Within the UN to basically get countries to work on their behalf to stop any bad talk about China in other countries, not just in China. Yeah. Don't. What? Just keep going. Okay, we'll keep going. You've got some bad thoughts. It's that time of the week. It's that time of the week, apparently. They have been exploiting Interpol, which has been very interesting. Yeah. Just pull the media pack down, though. Okay, we're done for now. All right, guys. Well, listen...

it's time for that time. You know what time that time is? What time is that time? It's time for Yum Cha, which is our Q&A segment. This is where we answer your questions and you question our answers. I'm sure we've got a lot to get through today. We sure do. We hit that massive Super Chat goal. I'm going to play that one more time just to say thank you to everybody. What a wonderful surprise.

And now everybody gets free access to, in the description, by the way, and in the live chat. I think you pinned it, did you? I did. To our amusement parks episode on Xiaobanghou. So anyway, it's time to loosen the tie. For those of you who are not watching live and those of you who are not watching on the weekend, stay awesome. We'll see you next time. And for the rest of you, let's get cracking on. Let's do that.

Let's do it. Thank you to all the new members. Appreciate that. Hello, Laura. The pig bag. Nope. No, this is zero charges. Okay. Gary McBride says, Dr. YouTuber would like nothing is going to bother me anyway. Oh, okay. Yeah. Why not? It's been a while. Nothing would bother me anymore. Anthony Saints had said, here you go. This is a start to the goal. Need an ABP anthem. Okay. Sure thing. Just me. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Dubstep Kid. Thank you, Colleen. I love shop dripping. Okay, yeah, shop dripping, dude. Hong Hong? Yeah. Okay, you get a Hong. Let's do it. Mr. Me says, let's hit that goal, bish. We did, thank you. Turtle, do you think China can keep production going long term without the US? No. Absolutely not. At least not nearly to the scale that it was. Absolutely not.

Soul Native. Can't wait to hear you guys get to Spokane's area code 509. You two are a great duo. Wow, thanks. Yeah, that'll be a while off, but we're looking forward to it. Hellora says, I assure these robot dogs are garbage. Robert Fairman, thank you. Doc Slothington in the last 25 years has taught me anything. It's that living in the future inherently isn't a good thing. Yeah, that's very well said. Yeah, it's in fact probably a bad thing. Mm-hmm.

Space Wizard. It's Friday. Beer on me, Canaver Roberts, and a protester. You may do. Oh, yes. A puke protester? Sure. Oh, you know what I noticed, by the way? What? I forgot to point this out. What? Very important. In the video where the fire was, it happened on the 23rd floor, not the 22nd floor, which made me think of, oh, my dear God.

Oh my day, shakarata. Now with subtitles. That's correct, yes. So you guys can read it. Colleen, everyone needs to see the amusement park video. It was wild. Thank you. It was one of the better old videos. It's really good. Yeah, super fun. It's a fun one. James Bond says, pig bay pen charts. Thank you. Are we ever going to see a pig bay? Hellora with a pig bay. I'll keep my charge. Okay, excellent. It's about time. I haven't seen one this episode. Makes me irritated.

Josh says, I go all around to ride coasters. I gotta see this. Yeah. You'll have fun. What? I just used my charge. Okay. All right. John S. It's a Dalek from Doctor Who saying, exterminate, exterminate.

No, it's actually speaking Cantonese. Yes, it is speaking Cantonese. Saying some bad words. Mike Stewart says, That robot and its FU2 voice is the funniest shit I've ever seen. I think they're China's highest technological achievement. Yeah, I think you're right. Laura says, Kid hitting mouse tattoo. Oh, absolutely. Let's find out. Walla1203 says, According to my research...

The sound that every robot in this video makes is actually a robot binary language, which roughly translates to help me, help me. I don't want to be a slave to the effing CCP. Yeah, probably. John S. says, heard Ukraine is putting sanctions on China now over arming Russia with drones. Will that hurt China or is it a nothing burger? Anything will hurt China in terms of no trade. They need trade. You know, they try to play that...

That middle ground, but they're very bad at it. You know, it's like, we'll support you, Russia, but just don't tell anyone we're supporting you. You know, we'll just support you, Iran. That's why Meng Wanzhou was, you know, arrested, was for that. We'll support you, just don't tell anyone. They do this, like, scummy behind, you know, closed door deal type things everywhere. But if they can get caught out, that's the most important thing. Sorry, Alandria Knight says, are blackouts unlucky in China too?

I don't know about that. Pig Bay. I'll tell you what, cats are unlucky in China. Yeah. If you're born a cat in China, if you're a cat in China, you're the most unlucky animal in the world. Black cats are definitely unlucky. Yeah. Pig Bay. Okay, we'll do a Pig Bay. I'll get it there. Makes me irritated.

James Bond, though, with a pig bay pen charge. Got one. Go Carlton. Thank you very much. Dave, any chance of recurring winners or losers list in Chinese society? Must be some folks still making bank. Maybe, yeah. Can't all be piss eggs over there, can it? No, definitely not. It's so comfortable.

Mike Stewart, CCP official casualties is minus one. Yes. That's right. People were born in that fire. You know what I'm saying? Oh, that's great. Anthony Saints, only counts for a yellow super chat. Not fair. No pig bay for that. All right. Dubstep kid, let's hit that goal, everyone. Thank you very much. We did it. Thank you to all your generosity. Seriously. And Laura says, you got to understand China. You certainly do. You got to understand China.

Indeed. Yes. Yeah.

Christina, we'll shed some proper light on that next week. We will. Laura says, enjoy a beer on me. Curious about John's prior questions. A video about Hong Kong seemed old, but not new. There is a symptom of things happening right now where there's some people putting, using kind of older stuff and saying, oh, there's a big phenomenon happening. But it's not to say there isn't a phenomenon happening. We'll just make it more accurate.

it. Does that make sense? Yeah, no, there have been some viral videos going around where they're taking a lot of old footage and sprinkling in like one or two new clips to make it seem like it's all happening now. It's a bit disingenuous, but like you said, something is happening, just not to the extent you might think, but we'll clarify it next week, we promise. Yes, yes. Daniel Kung, thank you very much. So I'm Josh Singh, trying to help out with the gold and gift these lovely people a Xiaobanhou episode because Josh knows that it's the best show out

there and thank you it's really nice for the the chubs and hoes to help out you know big pay please let's use up those pin charges let's do it hunter one says mason roams that town no he certainly does yeah she she called it yeah uh pig bay pen charge from james bond excellent

Amos Moses, would you rather live in China as yourself or North Korea as a Korean person? That's actually a very hard question. Yeah. I kind of want to answer that properly on Xiaobo and Ho, but I'll... I don't ever want to change who I am, so I'll live as myself in China, but I'll be disappeared and detained. Yeah, that's the problem. I'll just have to deal with it.

Yeah, me too. I'll deal with it. I'll figure it out. I won't figure it out. No, just deal with it. But I don't want to be anyone else. Yeah. Other than what I've been trying to be lately. It's a song. Oh, it is? I'm an American man. Hey, you. Mike Stewart says the AI Roberts earlier was mad because it wanted the China show viewers to see the amusement park episode. It's being forced to work there. Hashtag save AI Roberts. Yeah. Thank you, Mike.

philosophy says perception is a poor translation of reality i'm 14 this is and this is deep because it's from the freaking wolf warrior video that we're missing for that it's very very very very true yep donkey punch prime imagine how much news coverage the usa news would show if there was three mass death incidents in three straight days they'd claim we were at war

No joke. Not only that, China would blast it out. They always do. Whenever there's a tragedy in the US, even a small thing, they make a huge thing out of it as if the whole country is falling apart. You're true. Ginger Haku says, sad to see this is the average Chinese city. Imagine rural China. DocSothin29, demand everyone have a good weekend. I'm sorry.

I shall accept your demand. And I need a Robert sound bite. You shall have a Robert sound bite. That's one of the best. It is. Miss Soy Sauce says, sharing the gift to Shabano and thanks for helping to slow down the amount of Timu ads I get. I know hopefully those will stop.

Yes. Maybe they'll slow down marketing? I think there's no reason for them to put Teemu ads anymore if they can't sell directly to U.S. customers. Yeah, well, again, they're going to sell to suppliers here, like big depots, basically. Yeah, they will. But the prices will be nuts in comparison. I mean, you know, when they do a big bulk thing, they'll probably like, you know, it'll eat its own costs and it won't be that bad, but it'll still be like double what you would get. Yeah, I mean, it's not going to be what it was. It's still schlock and you don't want it. Yeah. Yeah.

That's the thing. If you're going to buy that cheap piece of garbage, but now it's not cheap anymore, why would you buy an expensive piece of garbage? That's true. I think the incentive to buy things you don't need is going to go away. Yes. Probably just buy what you need. I think it's a good thing. It is a good thing. Med B, too much supply, enough demand seems the basic foundation of China's continuously needless expenditure on literally everything. 100%. Smart face. You should do where they are now, like the missing tennis player, CEO Jack Ma that vanished and other people.

Jack Ma has been used to do transnational repression recently. Yes, actually, that's true. As for the other ones, the missing tennis player, I actually don't know what happened in... Peng Shui. And Naomi Wu, the sexy cyborg, don't know either. I haven't heard anything. No.

John S. says, lol, you're instead of up. I spent a couple of years in Japan. I had a girlfriend from Okinawa. She helped me with a lot of Japanese language. And if I struggled, she laughed and said, it's okay. I can't say Cinderella. That's nice of her. Tanks are pretty cool. If they become the US, they lose their industry. Alendra says, are the bicycles a response to the night rides? Dump bear? Oh, I know. The night rides. Remember the night rides? Yes.

No, those bicycles. And I've made several videos on my channel because when it was at its height, I thought it was absurd. And you couldn't walk on the sidewalks. I made videos about it. And I've got a couple of pretty good ones on my channel. And then it just crashed overnight. Now you still get shared bikes, but there's only like one company that operates anymore. And it's very controlled now.

It was like a free-for-all, and they built so many of these things, they couldn't get rid of them. It was like just a perpetual machine, just creating, creating, creating. It's one of the most wasteful things in modern human history. True. No joke. Hellora says, you must sacrifice for the CCP. Guy yelling in the movie clip, please. Guy yelling in the movie. Which we must sacrifice for the CCP? What are you talking about? Okay. Guy yelling. I'll just give you this. It's not a movie. No.

Good, good money. Thank you. Oh, vid, vid, link. Yes. Thank you for helping out. Good, good money, vid, vid, link. Exactly. So I'm just saying, let's pull out these last moments, y'all. Everyone needs a little shabano in their lives. Haze Runner, please. Oh, indeed. Here it comes. You'll follow me, okay? Ugh.

You know, in this year's Royal Rumble coming up in Christmas, obviously a ways away, definitely going to have some A.I. Roberts. Oh, definitely. We're going to have Roberts for sure. For sure. But let's say China was let into the WTO in 2001 under the promise of abiding by fair trade agreements, which they never did. They never did. Is there a mechanism to remove China from the WTO? I think they should be. You should, but they'll just say it's racist.

Yes. That's the problem with China is they've never kept a promise ever. China is not the Chinese government. No. Obviously, that's what I'm talking about. Yes, I know. If I say America never kept a promise, I'm not talking about like Jim Bob, the sailor man. You're right. Just Another Patty. This show is great. Oh, yeah. Thank you. Appreciate that. Adam Khan, happy Friday. Pig Baits. Nope.

Happy Friday, though. Thank you. We need the rude Cantonese robot as a soundbite. We have it! What, you mean this? I love how it spazzes out. Yeah, it's so funny. Those are quick to anger, are slow to learn. Leslie, thank you very much. Ben Suolo says, Oh, you mean...

Laura says, AVP for the US haters in the chat.

I used to really like Mr. T when I was a kid. Yeah? Yeah, he was kind of a role model.

Yeah. Cool guy. He's a cool guy, you know? He doesn't like to fly, though. He doesn't? No. So they always, like, put drugs in his milk because he likes milk.

And then he'll drink milk and he'll fall asleep. And then they like put him on the helicopter or whatever. Yeah, every time. Yeah, they did. They meowed him. Yeah, they did. Justin says, you are handsome and true. I like bridge. Because I like bridge. What was that again? That was like from one of those Xinjiang genocide. Oh, I like bridge. Denial people. Yeah, I remember the comments. I like bridge. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yes. I remember that. Yeah.

James Jones says, how do you kneel up? Yeah, how do you kneel up? I don't know. It's time to kneel up. Kneel up. Koala1203, can I get a port of Dandong followed by a home? You get a port of Dandong. Port of Dandong. Home, home, home. Yeah, we hit it. Thank you. Aquanaut, love your show, fellas. Homestretch from Uggstar. Let's dig deep. Vanessa, money to charge the pens.

Okay, got one. Cool. Halora, yes, please. If you already played Port of Dandong and Honghong, then thank you. Okay. You're welcome. Grant Van Heitzma, for more people. If America is a small boat, the CCP is a sunken sub they built themselves, from Mike Stewart. Did you know that thing where they, like...

detected a sub or something and then they thought there was a sub in their waters and so they were like panicking about it and they were like oh sub in our waters and then they found it was one of their own subs that had sunk and everyone drowned it's true is that recent it's fairly recent you look it up yeah that's nuts yeah they were like panicking because they thought something covered it up that america came came in there or something but it was their own sub that that in a training mission they all drowned or whatever it's pretty tragic

yeah that's china yeah josh angel i want some appreciation for the port of dandong you got it you got it you got it do you want another one i'll give you another one port of dandong doc slothian and six gang yeah you know you're the six gang or the three gang if you're a shabon ho patreon.com slash adb podcast support us there and get a hundred plus episodes it's like 150 now isn't it 150 sorry ninja thank you very much uh

Crumbs says, Chinese propaganda is pure projection. It really is. Vanessa says, have an amazing weekend, everyone. Luna says, congrats on hitting the goal. Thank you. Snowman, thank you very much. Nathan, what's that sound? We hit the goal. Come with me. Yeah. What a wonderful song. How come I've never heard it before?

I love him. Yeah. He's amazing. I'd like to have a beer with him. I would love to hear about how he got wrangled into that. Yeah, into the salty water song. Because he did not want to be there. He didn't give a crap. And he had to wear that sideways hat. Remember that? Poor guy. I'd also like to have a beer with... John T. John T. And my dream team is Haze Runner. Yeah. John T. Haze Runner and Salt A. Yeah. I think I would be friends with all of them. Yes, I think so too. That'd be fun. Richard G. says, Goal reached. Let's celebrate with a song. Big bait. No. No.

Okay, all right. Miguel, thank you very much. Monty Skies, have you heard any news about the Tsongpo River project in Tibet? Shout out to Tibet, by the way. A little bit, but not enough to do a thing on it yet. Not yet. John S. Philippines recently sent...

A Russian-American IRL poster to jail and then went after his photographer as well. Korea needs to kick Somali to jail also. All of these nuisance prankster types, the nuisance live streamers.

They need to stop. I'm tired of that. Just stop. They give US service people and tourists a bad name. Alexander, thank you very much. Dr. YouTuber, I'm homeless. Can you show me some Chinese manners? M-A-N-O-R-S. Chinese manners. Stop. Yeah. Mateo, thank you very much. Chris says, Xi overplayed his hand in an effort not to lose face to Trump. His arrogance will cost the poor Chinese people as Vietnam replaces their industries. 100% agree with you. That's the worst part is it's the Chinese people are going to suffer the most. And they get...

roped into doing all of this, like, we'll not stand down and, you know, like, we'll never kneel. And America's like dirty, arrogant, hegemony, imperialism, insert buzzword here. But at the end of the day, they're the ones that are going to suffer. And I hate seeing that because, you know, I really... It sucks because you do what the reality is, Xi Jinping lost to Trump, right? That's the reality of the situation. But the people that suffer now have to be the Chinese people that don't get a say in this. No. Right? They don't get a say in this now.

So now they have to go, oh, damn, now we have to go down with the ship. Yeah. Xi Jinping lost it. Yep. Pisses me off because, I mean... Leadership, I should say. Everyone in that camp. The reason we do this show is we care about the people of China. You know, we want to expose the CCP for what it is, to try and help, somehow help change, you know? It's just very frustrating to see unnecessary suffering. Yeah. Anyway...

Well, I mean, the great divorce needs to happen. It has to, and it's been too long. China's been taking advantage for too long, and it's gotten to a point which is unsustainable. It has to stop. It does. Mateo, don't forget we had stingrays along with other significant data collections in most police cars, nearly all federal LEO vehicles since 1990s. Interesting.

Yeah, there's even body-worn ones you can get to a certain degree. Interesting. It's kind of like for wiretapping, that type of thing. Gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. Helora says, all the junk, take the pills, Jeff, to cure it. Ah, there we go. Where is it? Yes. Yes.

Check the pills, Jeff. Chris says, Winston, Seamon, please share our binge drinking stories and terrible hangovers. We have a whole episode on that at Shabban Ho. We do. Adrian.com slash ADV podcast. Dragon Ellis says, one more tiny Dux Lothington cameo, please. You better believe you're going to get a Dux Lothington. He's got his little hat on. He does. Is he bald under that hat? I won't tell anyone. You can check yourself, but don't give it away. I won't. Okay.

Kind of like, you know, you never know, right? You never know. Chad says, Simplicio says, whoever made that propaganda about the US being a paper tiger just made Americans as angry as the train rider. Oh, you mean this guy? I honestly don't think that's true. That paper tiger looks dumb. That whole propaganda thing looks dumb. That's a regarded tiger. Yeah, big time. Gabriel Keane says, hey, Jens, enjoy some cool drinks this weekend. Thank you. Well, I like cool drinks.

The remote controlled perv segment in Xiaobo and I was a display of some serious AI 5G expertise. Everyone should subscribe, I assure. Thank you, Gabriel. Yes, thank you for that. Quala here to wish everyone a belated May Day and a great weekend. Also, happy belated 318th birthday to the UK to all British viewers here. Yes, shout out to the UK today. Absolutely. Trasher Binner says, thank you for the show.

I've heard the smell of chemical factories is foul. This was confirmed by, and I caught you. You're going to get me to say something. Something bad. I got you. Oh, you got him good. Chippy Weesk says, oh, my dear Chocolato, I'm in love with box. Okay. Oh, my dear Chocolato. I'm box. Adam Kahn, Pig Bay. Yes. We'll do it. Makes me irritated.

Doesn't this have such a good weekend vibe to it? No, it's not. It's such a weekend vibe. I love the show. I hate that sound bite. Why? It's too long. It's great. It's like six seconds. That's what makes it...

Great. You know? And it's got that beautiful, like, beach scene. I don't want to swim with pigs, if I'm totally honest with you. Why not? I think that's totally fine. I heard they're wicked aggressive in that bay. What, do they attack you while you're swimming? Because they're so well-fed that they, like, if they don't get food, they attack people. I mean, that sounds like fun. What if you grab onto it and it, like...

Rides you around like, you know. You know, but it like takes you like a little mini jet ski or something, basically. I think I can swim better than a pig, if I'm totally honest. You think so? Yes. Yeah, I don't think they swim very well. I think they can. I don't think they do it well. It's like a life-preserving float. Yeah, you could probably grab one, yeah. Yeah, and they just will swim. Probably kick you a few times. Yeah, and bite you. That's true. They have very strong jaws. They do.

Yes. You need to have a special kind of a stirrup system, you know, like rainwater, like you hold on to it. Let's work on this. You can like water ski behind it. Let's work on this. Yeah, okay. Elite Hacker says, love you guys. Wish I could afford the Patreon. You know what's good about that, Elite Hackers? There's a gift function now. So people can gift subscriptions to Patreon now. So.

So if there's any generous people out there that want to help out. I mean, we have the most generous audience in the world. The fact that they met the Super Chat goal, thank you very much. Thank you to everybody who contributes. Specifically, even if you just watch the show, even if you have never spent a cent, you have all of my admiration and respect. Thank you. Texas Grown says, Timu's QVC style ladies hate me. I'm so indecisive. I just bought a Sonos system 11 years later.

Okay. Juany's World says, we appreciate the transparency. Thank you, Juany's World. That is very generous. Wow. You are incredible. We appreciate you so much. Thank you very much for that. Seriously. Kay Sandquist, Tongue Swallow. Oh, wow. That's been a while. Again. We had it last week, though. Tongue Swallow.

Awesome guy. Business Basics. What do you think of that as a channel? No need to respond if you don't want to answer. Medby. I don't know about... What is that channel? Oh, they made that... Didn't they copy your thumbnail exactly? They took your thumbnail and your topic and they... I think they're probably fine. I don't know if I've watched it.

I think we watched one. No, is that that channel we watched the other day that had the protest thing? Yeah. Yeah, we'll comment on that next week. Yes. Annie Kai, please make a Robert soundbite. We did! What are you talking about? What is this? Is it not showing up? I think it's showing up. Maybe they want the part where she says Roberts. Oh. Maybe. Okay. George Hazard, you are true. Thank you.

Uh, Alan J Mackey says, I'm a broker and I can tell you how bad this is hurting China. China. Yep. Uh, John, John Tess. Thank you very much. Jill. Thank you very much. Potoskis. Can I have a haze runner to, uh, for my super chat? Of course. You'll follow me. Okay. Uh,

Hunter1 says, wishing everyone a nice slide into the weekend. That's a cool way to say it. Yeah. You mean like, wait, where is the slide, man? I can't find him anymore. Do this into the weekend. Oh, it hurts every time I see it. I know. Poor guy. He's okay, though. I miss him sort of constantly slightly.

I've missed that sort of constantly slightly pissed off white monkey job presenter, Roger, I think. I would love to have a Roger. Yeah, let's just make a soundbite for Raging Roger. He's so ridiculous. He's so mad all the time. That's why it's called Raging Roger. What is he guys like? It's like...

It's like, oh my lord. You know, it's always like that. It's him. He's like, duh. That guy, yeah, he's hilarious. He's like, how am I ever gonna, he does something really, these scene rock photographers are so good. I'm never gonna shot like that. Yeah, he's a funny guy. Alexander, I miss you. He's Panda Post Office. Panda Post Office.

Exactly. What was that thing about, what's the central axis? You know? Like, okay, yeah. I do miss him. Yeah, he's hilarious. I keep hoping they'll put him out again. I know. We'll try to find some more stuff. Yeah. I think they might have retired him.

Maybe. They might have, you know, race-horsed him. Yeah, it's possible. We'll find out. Yeah, AB says, we've been fans since the writing videos for years. Maybe 2017? Oh, wow. My wife is in a bit of a bad mood, so help a guy. Maybe suggest she lighten up and have a good weekend with me. It would help me out. Down with Timu. That's what you want. Hey, lighten up. Hey, hey, listen to me. Seriously, though. I got a message for his wife. Go for it. Okay, okay.

Lighten up. All right. Calm down. It's not a big deal. You're obviously overreacting here. All right. So stop and just chill out. All right. Yeah.

That's not going to work. That's what works with wives. Yes, that's what I heard. Yeah, you heard. Yes, yeah. Well, you're wrong, but yes, that's good. No, in all honesty, though, I hope you guys do have a good weekend. I really do hope so. Hey, life's too short to be angry at each other. I'll tell you that much. Life's too short for these stupid little arguments that get in the way. Enjoy yourselves. Have a good one. Seriously. You know what else works well is a kiss, right?

Okay. But you can tell her to kiss something. I think we have a soundbite for that. To what? No, maybe actually it's more of a lick, I think. Oh, wait. Oh, where is that? Oh, it's over here. You mean this? Come and lick my white neck. You could do that as well. That can work sometimes. I don't think so. I don't give good advice? No, you're giving the worst advice in the world. Just tell her to chill. This is what I'll say. No. No.

This is getting out of control. Yeah. World Eater. Eeya says, can we finally get twice a week China show and maybe once a week Xiaoban Ho? Everyone likes the stream. If you're Jones and for Shilbroth, or you're Jones and for Shilbroth, I think it would be really fun. It'd be a lot of work. We'd have to retire our own channel. Yeah. If we ever decide to give up on Serpents of Day and Law 86, then we could do it twice a week. Yeah. Richard G says, is that port close to Pig Bay?

Which one? Port of Dandong? It's not even close. It's actually the shipping hub of Northeast Asia. It's not even close to Big Bay. No, it's not. Big Bay's in Cuba. You get one. I'll give you the Dandong. I'll give you the Dandong this time. Carl says, I thought you guys were about to launch into the Aussie song that goes, I'd love to have a beer with Duncan because Duncan's me mate. I don't know that song.
