Guns, Money, and Love

[@thelurkingpanda3605]

Holy shit your shirt Simon. Why is no one talking about his shirt. It literally says "I club seals". Holy crap thats crazy...

[@alma_rdnk]

I'm from Texas and I can honestly say we do have A LOT of gun conventions here. Like one every month.

[@AlyssaTaylor9]

I grew up in Washington state (northern part of U.S) but moved to Georgia (southern part of U.S.) my freshman year of high school. My dad had always owned a gun, not like a machine gun, just a little pistol, but he never took it out or anything, just had it in his room in case somebody broke in. Gun culture is vastly different here in the south. Here, it's considered unusual if you HAVEN'T fired a gun. Since coming down here, I've had some gun training. This may sound weird to some foreigners, but shooting is actually really fun, and I've gotten pretty good at it.

[@leavemealone2006]

***** not true. There shooting ranges where you can do clay shooting with shotguns or target shooting with pistols. My friend in Seoul took me last summer and we had a blast (pun intended lol)

[@leavemealone2006]

***** no problem, man! I don't think most Koreans know about it. It is a little pricey, but not too expensive for a few hours of fun. The staff will actually teach you as well :)

[@ROSEprincess101234]

I'm from the US and a normal greeting with friends is a hug and some of the more touchy ones is a kiss on the cheek. I walk around arm and arm with friends sometimes and nobody thinks anything of it.

[@camy_1026]

I'm Italian, and it's really awkward hanging out with my American friends because they're so weird about any touching of any form. I'm used to kissing people's cheeks to greet them, holding hands with my friends...heck, I've watched my friends shower.

[@markigirl2757]

A lot of those places that speak Spanish Italian French ect I noticed they are more touchy it was weird at first but I quickly adapted to it! It be funny to see a Korean react to it if they visited those countries 😂

[@Delphinium2089]

3:23 OMG Isn't what Martina was humming from "You're Beautiful"?? I absolutely LOVE that drama!

[@JadestonePony]

Lol, I grew up in Texas and neither my family nor most of my classmates' families owned guns. Then again, it was Austin, so, you know... Keep Austin Weird. :)

[@victorvictor987]

These tl:dr videos are great! I love all the videos though, and I like variety between tl;dr vids, music Monday's, Korean like a pro, and wtf!!!

[@mizzishtar456]

I know what you mean about the hugs! I Korean stuff I've noticed people who are not crazy close tend to stay away from contact. I have an overwhelming desire to go to South Korea, but I am pretty sure I would starve of "skinship" (man,that word rocks^-^). I love hugs and hand-holding and cuddles. I would pay someone in Korea to cuddle me if I got lonely. The first person to hug me would not be released until the hugs quota was filled.

[@HarmoNYCMovement]

I just refreshed my youtube homepage for a good 30 mins straight because I was so excited for todays video. Then I had a spasm when this showed up :) :) BANG BANG BANG, BREAD BREAD BREAD! I love this video so much :D

[@karkinissan]

As soon I understand what Simon's t-shirt meant, I started laughing like a maniac.

[@pandaninja001]

well, i grew up in denver and when i was in school, it took a long time for friends to get comfortable with enough to like hold hands or sit in each others laps. but when i moved orlando, i met people at school for the first time and the next day they all hugged me. i was so weirded out!! but i'm used to it now.

[@YangSunWoo]

For every 100 Americans there are 101 guns owned by civilians. Pretty disgusting if you ask me.

[@goldslugz]

What's disgusting is you generalizing all Americans. Some people have never even seen a gun before. It depends on where you live.

[@YangSunWoo]

You do realize that those are statistics. I'm American and I still find those numbers absolutely disgusting.

[@goldslugz]

YangSunWoo Where did you find those statistics? And even if those numbers are correct, which I highly doubt they are, it's our constitutional right to bear arms. If you have such a big problem with it, become a lobbyist.

[@YangSunWoo]

www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/united-states It's correct. And it's our constitutional right to bear arms... FOR THE MILITIA. We don't have a militia anymore, so why keep something that is killing 32 THOUSAND Americans per year (And rising). The absolutely ignorance of Americans is what I find disgusting.

[@goldslugz]

YangSunWoo You were right, my apologies. But again, it's our constitutional right to bear arms. If you have a problem with it, do something to change it and if not, don't bitch about it.

[@jyeoms]

I'm from Singapore and yup, we also thing people with bungalows are very rich so when we watch American movies when everybody has bungalows instead of public housing flats, we think that Americans are all rich.

[@ilavalolipop]

There's a stereotype even in Texas that everyone owns a gun, but that could not be further from the truth. Really. I've lived all my life in Texas. I am pro-gun CONTROL and am a very liberal thinker, a democrat, currently enrolled full time in university, and I'm in an honor's society. I'm also not alone. My boyfriend of 3 years also feels the same as me and we have numerous like-minded friends. Just like Martina said in this video, I know that there are people where I live who have guns and hunt, but I have never even seen one in person. So just to reiterate, I am a Texan, I've lived almost 21 years in Texas, and I've never even seen a gun. Yes, conservatives and their ideas of guns are annoying and scary... but every Texan shouldn't be stereotyped like this. It's simply unfair. Me and my boyfriend and my friends are not brainless gun loving hillbillys. We are people who deserve to be treated as unique individuals. So yeah, just thought I'd give an alternate perspective.

[@silverfinspy]

I think it really depends on where you live in Texas as well. Urban dwellers are much less likely to own guns, while every farmer I've met has owned at least a hunting rifle.

[@Peachesandburbon]

I don't really want to get into a political discussion but I did want to point out one quick thing in your argument. You said "Yes, conservatives and their ideas of guns are annoying and scary...but every Texan shouldn't be stereotyped like this. It's simply unfair. Me and my boyfriend and my friends are not brainless gun loving hillbillys. We are people who deserve to be treated as unique individuals." Since you chose to bring up being stereotyped I would like to point out that that is exactly what you are doing here by calling conservative ideas "annoying and scary" and saying that all are "brainless gun loving hillbillys" I'm a conservative and I don't own a gun. I am also a unique individual just like you and deserve to be treated like one just like you. It's "simply unfair" to stereotype anyone and that includes conservatives. Maybe there are some conservative values that you don't agree with and that's fine with me. There are some liberal values that I don't agree with and that's fine too but don't get into the habit of stereotyping people into categories as you might miss out on some wonderful people in your life.

[@Whoisthis2003]

M Sweet I know this is a super old video and an old comment, but I defiantly agree with you. I come from a conservative family myself and live in Oregon. My father owns and uses guns and I myself have shot a gun many times. It is defiantly unfair to label conservatives as unfair and scary. My father is very strict when it comes to gun use and safety. I have never once seen him act reckless with one. Just as liberals can get upset about being labeled and categorized(like many normal humans) conservatives do too and it isn’t fair to do so without knowing the person

[@c4r2747]

OMG! You guys' videos make my day every single time. I am jealous of your korean friends. I wish I have Canadian friends like you guys!

[@shadowbaby4ever]

so true, im from the us, so when i see a drama where the two main characters are having a real moment and the scene and music is set and your just waiting for them to just have this wonderful amazing kiss!..........they hug..............been left truly unsatisfied from many many dramas. lol but still love watching them =)

[@GrayceDreamer]

hahaha! I just finished re-watching You're Beautiful w/ my family and we all had a discussion at the end about the lack of a kiss ending (with the hug replacing it), and here you are discussing it and singing the theme song!

[@christinengo08]

I'm a AAT(Asian-American Texan) and my family lives right on the coast of the San Antonio Bay in a small town. My dad personally owns 2 guns, a BB gun & shotgun, which is mainly use for hunting whenever his friends invite him to go hunting with them. Not all Texans owns a gun, only to those who hunts and commits crimes.

[@BabyAlchie]

Happy almost four year anniversery!!!!!! I love you guys!

[@wobinwobinwobin]

I've never met any students from Korea before (who weren't raised in Canada) so I'll share something about Japanese exchange students that stayed with me. On the first day they came to school with me, they saw friends hugging each other as greetings. They seemed a little confused, but they realized it was a cultural difference. You should have seen their faces when they saw a couple making out against a locker.

[@tokiz0896]

My school is like that too, sometimes people act like if they are a couple but, they aren´t , i mean its just the way we show our love

[@BlackSunshinenl]

loved spudgy humping the letters :D and awesome vid! Hope you guys are having an awesome week:D

[@purplextoxin]

I love the wall stickers on the cabinets :D can't wait to see your new place

[@victoriasmith4372]

I think Martina was humming "I promise you" from your beautiful!!!! Omg I LOVE that drama.

[@JohnLemon237]

I appreciate your shirt Simon.

[@klsygrms]

the guns in Texas thing rings true for small towns but not so much in Austin....I have live in both and my family moved to Austin from a small town in east Texas and my dad brought maybe 20 guns(used for deer hunting) and we actually left some of the guns in a gun cabinet in our house in east Texas....Guns Galore in Texas, but meat isn't so a lot of people stock up during hunting season

[@Dinosaurseatcarrots]

I'm asian and I used to find hugs really intimate and awkward between friends but I when I moved and went to a school full of foreigners, hugging became totally natural and a lot of skinship is done. These days, when I watch korean dramas, I feel annoyed that they hug, it's like what's the big deal! KISS PASSIONATELY ALREADY and totally melt when they hold hands when usually, I wouldn't. thanks for your TLDRs, i love learning about you guys and korean culture.

[@amanda1271]

this is the funniest tl;dr video ever (besides the one about how simon proposed )

[@danilizcapellan2212]

Did she hum the theme from 'Your Beautiful' ? Made my day!

[@missnerdyfox]

i really don't like it when people come up to me and hug me but lately everytime i get tired in school or where ever i will just hug people and pretty much just lean on them... still don't touch people i don't know (who knows where they were last...)

[@Cristalstar3]

i like the beun beunbeun beun beun beun beun beun music at the end of each of your TL;DR's. Its so relaxing ;D

[@bipolarpanicdisorder]

I really really like the horn ditty at the beginning of this video. Very very awesome.

[@andra749]

@ketichini it's a part of their kitchen in their new apartment.

[@duuffos]

probably the most awesome intro on the internet. you moved right? tour of the new place!!! pretty please?

[@gloriarobledo3215]

I know this is almost 10 years old but I will say I laughed at the Texas part 😂😂 Maybe not all of us own guns, like my family, but I know my sisters husband's side of the family own guns since they go hunting. In my high school, we had specialized programs and the people in the law program were training to get their open carry license, IN HIGH SCHOOL. I think some of them already had it by that point but yeah, if that didn't scream Texas, then idk what will.

[@lightangel452]

Yeah, in Latin America we are really touchy feely even among strangers and in Canada thats like a taboo "Respect my personal bubble!" lol. I kinda got used to it though and whenever I go back to my country I have to reset my thought process

[@jiahk1994]

It really isn't that much more possible to see a kpop idol in korea than you would see in america's LA/NY. My cousins are actually friends with snsd- but its not like they can go out to eat whenever wherever because their schedules dont work together all the time. but i guess you actually do have a chance to see at least one idol, considering we have a lot of shows that usually happen in normal streets- like runningman, infinity challenge, kdramas, just regular kpop shows, etc.

[@CalestoBella]

My family fit these stereotypes. My dad hunted so he had a cabinet of like 14 guns in a cabinet in his office and a double barrel shotgun in the closet upstairs (I am from Canada btw, not Texas.) We had two acres of land so lots of space to run around. Yay living in rural Ontario!!

[@PiroMunkie]

I haven't been hugged by anyone outside of my family in years. *single tear down cheek*

[@AngelStar5161]

I'm from Idaho everyone owns at LEAST one gun and uses it a LOT! Our biggest attraction is what is called the Crash 'n Derby which is were a bunch of racecars go out and ram into eachother until theres only one left that can move. We deepfry everything. We talk with southern accents. We ride horses. And we slaughter cows...hows that for stereotyping?

[@wolfgurl196]

Ah! Yes, your guys' videos always make my day! thank you :) haha, interesting video, I'm really liking these segments. Keep up the good work, hugs from Washington (the state).

[@choco4569914355]

3:22 - humming Promise -3 I love the Hongki (Hunky) version from the drama You're/he's beautiful! :D

[@chocochitu]

the music that Martina sang in 3:21 reminds me of the song Promise in "you're beautiful" lol

[@TheDingfish]

yay i knew it!! discovered walking dead like literally 2 months ago and zoomed through the whole series and now im obsessed with zombie fiction haha, at least once a day ill imagine what it would be like to suddenly have an outbreak right in front of me when im somewhere new (or somewhere familiar...anywhere really lol) and i cant help but think in the initial panic, guns really are the best because theres no way the average person would dare or know how to kill them by hand

[@laughsaremeds]

Lmbo at the humping Spudgy!! - I loved the skinship talk.. and Martina caressing Simon's face haphazardly.. Lol!!

[@SaeInHyeong]

Oh my gosh, Simon, I just realised your t-shirt says 'I club seals'. Dying from laughter right now XD

[@chrispassmore7372]

I'm from a small town in Texas and it's actually pretty weird that my family doesn't at least own a hunting gun. But we also have a major highway running through our town that's pretty notorious for murderers and drug traffickers sooo

[@warriorskk1]

You were so singing that song from You're Beautiful, because they do the hugging thing a LOT in that drama. XD

[@KpopLunatic]

Im really loving this TL;DR videos!!!! xD Its really funny and its all based on real stories xD

[@WhiteCheddarISbetter]

Was your dramatic music from You're Beautiful? hahaha I love that drama :)

[@desertfrog817]

Make me proud that I'm not the only Texan that watches Simon and Martina. I live in the northern area of Fort Worth and have to say there shooting range up here, not bragging, don't really care to much about guns.

[@VIPBJ21]

Cool answers. And I definitely agreed with u guys and im from US.

[@AlexPardo192]

When they were describing the 'Epic Hug Korean Drama Moment' they Martina was humming the song Promise from You're Beautiful ahaha.

[@DeannaRaquel]

For Switzerland, it's actually a law for all citizens to own guns. I live in the Sunshine state, out in the country, and my family owns a growing collection of guns. I have younger cousins (around 8 years old) that shoot guns. Up in Mississippi, it is natural to own guns, but down here in FL, where there are many foreigners and northerners, people tend not to be used to guns as much.

[@brittcliz]

I'M A TEXAN AND I DO NOT OWN A GUN! However, almost every home will have a gun in it. Especially in the country areas/small towns. It's not just a "Come at me bro!" kind of thing, but a lot of the people here are old-timey and still have the western town mentality. A popular country song actually opens with "Our houses are protected by the Good Lord and a gun, and you might meet em both if you show up here unwelcome, son." My point is that Texas does have guns. Just not everyone in Texas has one

[@AirsoftinInTheHeazy]

1. Love the T shirt 2. As far as 'seeing' a gun, its all about where you grow up. If you grew up in a City where gun laws were restrictive, sure you are likely to never see a gun, but if you grow up in a rural area, like I did, guns are very common to see. Btw Canada, Im in Maine so im right next door to ya!

[@anjelkrush89]

well, for the most part, they were very tolerant. they pretty much acted like it didn't happen. my family was much more accepting than the average korean person on the street, however. although i am full korean, i look very americanized in korea, and i got many looks, glares, and comments making me fully aware that i stood out. i also gained notoriety and popularity for it, which was cool. everybody wanted to be friends with the girl from america. it was quite surreal.

[@justinale09]

No y'all are right. Me and my husband have lots of guns and from Texas .... our friends same thing. Oh I love y'all videos! Subscribed! Y'all are so hilarious!

[@bslaornadhe]

The symbol is a 'club', like from a deck of cards. So the shirt reads "I club seals".

[@JtvJouri]

Yay! I love both of you, you teached me alot about the country i love. And both of you are my idols because i want to move there to! And thank you! Thank you so much!

[@Krazytangerines97]

hahaha thats the theme from YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! xD

[@mandapanda157]

I laughed so hard when y'all started talking about Texas! I guess it's true most of us own guns but I thought that was normal...I guess it's not?

[@CsoliaM]

Some Americans do own guns a lot in Texas XD but not everyone. Anyways........ Happy 4th anniversary!!!!!!! I wish all the happines and I hope you will always love and cherish eachother ^^ Simon Martina Fighting~

[@smile1609]

I'm Latina too and it took me soo long to get used to K-Dramas because they barely kiss or touch lmao I'm used to it now but I still wouldn't mind seeing more affection ;) I'm glad you posted this, I'm always thinking about this- glad I'm not the only one!

[@kuniklo]

lol i love the use of the "you're beautiful" song when its the slow motion hugging XD

[@microceratus]

Ah, you keep on reminding me of Xiah's Intoxication with the melody... I just had to watch the MV again.

[@LWPW0673]

I have never watched this one but I am so in love with the Texas comment. I am from Texas and I say that all the time!! LOL

[@MsAarynZhou]

I love Martina's headbands!

[@asuske]

Is this your new apartment? Loved the video, I live in Canada too and I've never seen a gun.

[@quentin015]

I was a foreign exchange student in Texas and... I've seen more guns than ever before! actually I had never seen one in Europe and I've even seen pink ones at the store!! But I guess that's not only in Texas.

[@phatasm24]

Well. Housing in singapore has skyrocketed no thanks to a certain someone who has screwed up the pricing sheesh. But yes generally, it is small especially with the newer houses and as prices goes, it actually depends where you stay? If you're at the city area, chances are, condominiums can easily fetch at least $1 million and above as it is considered prime property. And some other areas in singapore as well (western end). And yeah well land constraint is one reason as well so *shrugs*

[@syfqh93]

from where I come from (Malaysia) owning a bungalow usually is a rich person. The bigger the house, the richer. It depends also sometimes, really rich people just wanna live normally in medium sized bungalow. I don't know about other Asian country having that point of view but I can relate.

[@tvtoms]

I agree with this and in fact, one of the reasons I've fallen for Korea in general is how people treat each other in ways that I was taught as a child were the proper ways to treat each other. Ways sadly lacking as I've moved to larger cities. It feels strange to say, but it feels a lot like home in that way, and I've never been there. Also, I haven't had a hug in literally years since my mother passed away. So I hope Koreans don't think Americans are all perverts doing skinship with strangers.

[@Mommy_Paladin]

OMG love the bread fun sound effect pun!!

[@foreverVIPful]

LOL did you guys sing 'you are beautiful' ost near the end? ^.^ love that drama

[@ketiba]

almost your fourth anniversary? cool! like to see how u guys celebrated it ^^

[@narinael]

Not to mention even the rent for a flat is high, even for just a month. Then there's the issue with jobs. And school. And pretty much everything.

[@JinSinX]

It is just amazing how the culture is so different.

[@CNWhite30]

@Imposante the skinship is the same here but to less extent boys don't hug that much, and yes hugging/touching between a boy and a girl is a big deal.. In short it's a cultural or religious thing =)

[@KpopCountdownIn321]

@kmelia85 Yeah... they moved already. Into an apartment! :)

[@SakuraYue]

AHHH~ I love the cupcake stickers? you have on your cuboards!

[@midnightsun111493]

Since you guys have moved to South Korea would you say it has been way easier for you guys to meet kpop celebrities like getting their autographs or getting your pictures taken with them?

[@zainlovesmusic]

About America being okay with skinship. It seems Japan has the same idea also from the mangas I read. But I understand why people think everyone is rich in America and Canada. It is because of the houses. Some relatives of mine from Jordan are shocked when they see how big our house is.

[@ICHEWBUBBLEGUM]

oh, and by the way, your apartment is SUPER cute!!!!

[@CarolynnMarkey]

I miss your guy's old house! :P So cute!

[@paradise0016]

Is it the same comparing to new york city where there's majority apartments, studios, etc... Unless you drive out of the city then you will see houses.

[@mx5hong]

Sadly, in light of what happened today in Connecticut with the school shooting, I'm not surprised with the responses regarding guns.

[@lealiebtbeeren]

i live in germany and when we meet a friend we will give them a hug to say hello. so when we had studens from france who did an exchange to germany they where realy surprised when we hugged them to say hello ore goodbye. now i'm wondering how korean studens would've react :P

[@MrEpiclost]

yeah bungalow is considered rich too in my country :P cause normally people live in terrace and apartments and a 2-story bungalow means the person is very very rich :O

[@lolyuginn]

Can't wait for the next episode~ ^^

[@AMHeartinSeoul]

I totally thought that when I first started watching dramas. I had no idea why the hugs were such a huge deal. The back hugs always make me lol, too. Like, when the guy turns to walk away and the chick runs after him and basically slams into his back. Ah, dramas

[@faeleia]

OMG Simon a bungalow is HUGEEEEE in singapore too!! OMG YOU ARE SO RICH GYAAA we usually stay in apartment buildings and buying bungalows are like tearing your heart into 4 pieces because you probably have to sell yourself to slavery to afford one if you're middle classed.

[@Rivere]

I see you're in your new apartment now! We need a tour! =D

[@SHINeeSakuraMoon]

Nice new kitchen want a similar one too

[@sleepzuzuzu]

The opposite problem with the skinship problem is that Korean girls tend to grab the arms and hands if they're with close friends while guys likes to touch each other's shoulders. Something I'm still somewhat trying to get used to.

[@sophieblee]

Lol, a 'bungalow' in SEA for some reason is 'a large detached house with more than one storey'(read: expensive), so imagine listening to that with this in mind. 😄 More confusion!!

[@lingyung]

I love when Martina said, "so what? It's a hug." Her expression was so funny! XD

[@purpleprinc355]

ive only watched two dramas out of like 30, where they go beyond shy hugs and those innocent kisses i remember my first drama i watched, i was like....what? thats all? a one sided hug, nice. LOL

[@lathreo1]

3:00-3:03 lol B2ST's Beautiful lyrics at the bottom!!
