To come from a broken home and still be able to be a good father to Taika and a good husband to Geo is something Bart should NEVER feel bad for... He's doing a great job if not amazing!!! Most people would act like literal assholes and then blame it on their upbringing!!! You are an amazing human Bart...

[@leyla1827]

Wow.. I hope Bart sees this comment because this is the biggest accomplishment in life

[@shadeie6395]

Seeing this after knowing what happened to his dad is just sad

[@jinblaze132]

especially when bart said his father hugged him for the first time in forever

[@Austin-if7ne]

@@jinblaze132 as Bart was kicking him out of his house

[@pervysage4934]

yeah this shit hit different. considering how many times Bart has mentioned what his dad's been saying he's going to do on several videos

[@seansoku67]

​@pervysage4934 it's all on his father. He was stubborn and that lead him to have the life he had and resentment from his son. He was a coward

[@idkman1195]

​@@seansoku67 Yea, it was all on his dad.

[@tasnimkhan1624]

Man this hits way too close to home. I don’t know how parents suddenly expect so much when we didn’t cultivate a close relationship. I grew up in south east Asia so I have the same upbringing about being “respectful” to parents etc etc so that guilt is inbuilt. I totally feel you there Bart! Everything you said hit me so hard! Thanks for sharing!

[@Dave_of_Mordor]

It feels like the entire continent is full of narcissists. Just a bunch of people using their kids for their own need.

[@DareFrank]

With a parent or parents like bart's dad, its so bittersweet seeing them start to come around knowing that they pretty much laid the groundwork on YOUR trauma and your hatred towards them. And honestly you can't help but think it's only because of their age, atleast thats how i felt.

[@honniebunn1051]

this is oddly comforting for someone that’s in the same situation and seeing bart being where he is rn

[@millardfilmore1403]

I know everyone laughs along when Bart is talking about his relationship with his parents but MAN is it tragic. All I can say is, this is a lesson to parents not to mistreat your children lest the future comes and you find yourself all alone. It’s crazy man.

[@CocaKolaa]

JustKiddingNews a place where only the owners are shirtless on camera 🤣 jokes aside, this is one of the best episodes

[@TheEifaa]

It one of the best

[@bethnichols2875]

Wonder if they will show Bart's new tattoo on here then, that he got when he lost to Geo. Saw it on Barbell Brigade.

[@cherryblossom72555]

I remember that time when Bart said "I will do everything to keep my parents divorced bc they're crazy together"

[@tinabeee7350]

Bart appears to be really well-adjusted and has a good perspective on the situation with his parents. I’m proud of him for doing whatever he had to do to get to that point.

[@x3Stoopid]

Bart is actually a great son. It’s okay to set boundaries. It’s ok to assert your opinions. As long as it’s out of love. I’m actually delighted that Bart’s parents are rekindling their situation. Hope everything works out! ♥️

[@santoryu2753]

Bart is 1000% better than the type adults that comes out of that type of toxic broken families. He is 1 in a million fr.

[@Dave_of_Mordor]

@@santoryu2753 well he has a pretty supportive social group outside his family. That helps a lot

[@user-un7yy3rh6h]

@@santoryu2753 i would not be sane if i grew up with bart's parents for sure lmao. straight insanity on both sides

[@d.oldbanana]

100%

[@mhz2462]

Bro he sold his dad's house, made him move to Vegas then he wanted to move in with Bart since he doesn't like Vegas and has no house, so Bart decides to move him in with his mom which is sure to cause problems

[@jobe1938]

anthony gesturing while joe tells the story 😂

[@xtinareally]

Man bart hit home on so many levels I call my parents my kids 😂 Never could put that into words, like how you know you have to set boundaries but it hits you in so many conflicting feels 🙈

[@joven999]

I literally look up to Bart as my main model for what a great father looks like. And it hits extra different because I didn't have a father to look up to growing up.

[@mitchs3559]

Nahh. His son is a bad af

[@TheEifaa]

I'm wishing bart an his parents all the best

[@CatDogWalk]

Things did not turn out well. Bart's Dad very unexpectedly took his own life at the home of Bart's Mom. Totally devastating for all involved. Rest in Peace Paul Kwan.

[@VivianWLumbley]

anthony over there interpreting while joe talks 😂😂😂

[@Nyla3li]

I skipped what I was about to watch to have the new updates on Bart’s parents story 🤣😭 Man Bart is such a good son god bless his heart .. wish ur parents all happiness and great health 🤍

[@jvtoon]

I haven't thumbs up a JK video in years. I usually just watch, chuckle, then move on. But this one was just sooo good I had to. Barts situation is just so relatable, entertaining and heart breaking. This whole episode as a whole was just solid with everyones contribution to the conversation. Episodes like this is why I still watch JK so thank you for sharing!

[@CatDogWalk]

Look for updates. Bart's Dad has since died. Devastating circumstances for all involved. RIP Mr. Kwan. 💔

[@iRAYJCAM]

Thanks for sharing Bart , hit home for me personally, I still beat myself down when I feel like my cup is too full so I spill out and then everyone thinks I’m the crazy one . Life is life and we just gotta keep on climbing the ladder! Much love!

[@maree8956]

Wow I can’t believe they got back together ! You’re a great son Bart, good luck with everything and good luck to Geo for hearing it all haha

[@emogirlhashervengz]

That would be so wild if Barts parents did end up falling in love, especially after everything they've been through. I can already imagine what Christmas day is going to look like if they're still together by that time hehe

[@victoriaskyful]

Currently going through this battle too of setting boundaries vs feeling like a guilty child. Super fitting episode. Good luck with all of this Bart!!!

[@RonomanRpper]

That's so adorable tho, i'm glad Bart's parents moved in together.

[@bethnichols2875]

Bart's life just seems to have come full circle, only this time instead of him helping with his mom's rental property, he is going to be helping with his dad's rental property.

[@uri25kmister36]

This really just hits home how long I’ve been a fan of jk news I’ve been following them for nearly a decade , seen taika and Luca be born seen joe talk to his dad , seen jk members come and leave and seen barts parents get back together, feel like part of a family I’ve never met 😂

[@alany8880]

Great video. We need future updates on Bart’s parents’ situation

[@jcbauce]

This is the update I've been waiting for!

[@bethnichols2875]

He talked about it today on his and Geo's podcast as well.

[@bethnichols2875]

Bart, for the rental property remember what your friend mentioned about how he got sued when his tenants slipped in the shower because it didn't have a rubber mat in the shower. Something to keep in mind to look out for with the rental agreement for your dad's place.

[@Alexander-xk2nb]

What if Bart comes over catches his dad eating his mom out like when Joe caught him eating someone out 😂😂😂😂

[@JordanReedYT]

I forgot about that story 🤣

[@weenie_head]

Where can I find this story lmaooo

[@Alexander-xk2nb]

@@weenie_head I don't even know. I saw it on a recent video and on 1 from like two years ago. I watched both within the last 2 weeks so I don't know how recent the other one was.

YUCK! LMAO!!

[@-HazexD]

Wait what???🤣🤣🤣

[@gaguchan8263]

Completely different story after the news that just dropped

[@bella2048]

🥺❤️All the love for you, Bart.

[@nonyobiz6481]

Bart, I went thru the same shit with my pops. But he stuck by me when I needed someone to be there for me. Now he's passed, over 10 years.....but there's not one day that I dont wish he was still here. Just treasure the moments you have with him and your mom. No matter what they put us know that we will miss them when they go and you'll realize all the time fighting or hating them could have been used more wisely with them. But you are a very good son.....

[@applepieclub5012]

Despite everything they did to him, Bart still treats his parents well. He’s a good dude.

[@roygbiv9038]

Bart, just get your dad a dog.

[@brianazhang8003]

or get him a cat

[@Rpgotoko]

So Bart is basically Bart Simpson in real life.

[@XXXskilzXXX]

idc we need monthly updates on this!

Same. 😄

Good on Bart for setting boundaries ✨

I honestly just want to hug Bart. It will be alright dude hopefully 🤗😅😅😁

“Too long won’t read”😭💀

[@BeautyBySailorJ]

The ironic thing that a good friend had told me was that, as our parents become older, they just tend to act like children and i felt that

[@freddie4682]

The guy that keeps saying barts fucked up clearly doesn’t know what it’s like in a broken household. He needs to shut up and let Bart vent without being judged lmao

[@sxhxlzxb]

Barts parents needs a romantic comedy film

[@isabellamotte]

Frrr it’s too good!!!😭😭

[@kaptainzdragon5478]

Feel like this trope has been done before by Michelle Pfeifer and Alec Baldwin

[@corsicawoods7395]

Not Asian but I do have foreign parents. Going through the same exact thing. My parents want to be super involved all of the sudden and I couldn’t put it into words when trying to explain my distance/lack of enthusiasm/hesitation but Bart put it beautifully. Using it the next chance I get. Great video for new parents and inspiring parents.

[@-HazexD]

Lmaoo this is crazy🤣 never in a million years thought Bart parents will get back together 🤣

[@zuychan]

In hindsight his dad was looking for a reason to live

[@143yaknow]

Old Chinese people are really a different breed, my parents are a trip but they did end up going back to Hong Kong when I moved out way back when

[@Kieoreon]

I love bart's promises for taika for when he gets older; That promise from Bart is sooooo promising!!! Taika will have a great father in his childhood

[@healmeimhurt-.-]

Much love🙌

[@lizasoto3370]

This is epic! They are definitely going to live happily ever after 😂

[@YGLuv2NE1]

I totally get how bart feels guilty about setting boundaries. The cultural beliefs definitely clash. Asian vs. American. I'm trying to learn how to set boundaries with my mom through therapy for the sake of my own mental health.

[@ninanguyen480]

really great pod

[@lovelynn93]

Bart's parents together is pure chaos lol

[@ClubAmerica92]

I believe his father feels guilty and now that he’s of age and feels like maybe things are coming to and end he is trying his hardest to amend things and spend time with the family.

[@Sunova_Gun]

Sometimes it’s too late

[@ZevFei]

Bart must be so happy for them parents.... I feel like Bart is their precious gift from God. It's impossible to both couple to get back together in healthy way after all that.

[@TheAVJ2]

barts way of putting boundaries is pretty fair they took 18-20 years from him and now that hes gone he wants the freedom he never got from either parent

[@chinasamue]

Let’s put some cameras in parts of that home and follow his parents relationship 🤣 because this will be hilarious 🤣

[@sympul]

This episode was too funny man

[@simonyeager6062]

I love Bart so much man. He's been my hero and he always will be.

[@TinaMarieDiaries]

“Bad boy” 🤣😂

[@anthonytony4139]

Its crazy how many people have become parents to there parents because there parents just didnt have certain common sense to teach there kids that so kids had to develop that skill to take care of parents instead of the other way around has to be a mental thing

[@JYingo0]

@21:46 joe feeling lefted out was hilarious lolz

[@CuongChanster]

Alex has the best situation of parents. I'm jealous. Lived in chaos

[@modern362]

Steve is going to have a field day with this 😄

[@the92r]

This was fking hilarious… watched twice already

[@12345jli]

I've been going to therapy for a similar situation as Bart, and it's nice to hear this type of... conflict and inner turmoil talked througu, even if it's in a very Bart-way lol. Definitely feels validating. It's a very.. traditional culutural thing, to be this enmeshed in your family's shit, especially as an adult, and building boundaries and dealing with guilt and tact is majorly difficult.

[@chrisdu4107]

Oh man... the internal Asian Filial piety vs. Toxic relationship is strong here

[@marrz8244]

Fantastic conversation 😆✌️🤘

[@jazminfranco1355]

As a first gen i was so appalled bc it feel so bad venting about these sort of things but after a while i got really sad of how represented I feel in these sort of situations

[@christinekim361]

"Nothing to see here." 😂😂

[@bethnichols2875]

My thought went to Ryan saying in a past video that if someone pees in public they could be charged as a sex offender.

[@simply_geri]

oh myyy gaaddd!!! i feel for bart coz it's the same with my relationship with my mom 😭😭😭😭 so difficult 😭😭

[@Rich_Pisa]

let’s gooo sponsor ad!

This funny because my bf parents weren’t together when I got with him. They got married and divorced twice already. And then we noticed the dad sneaking off at night to meet someone , turns out it was his mom. Now they live together but as friends lol

Man I relate to Bart so much in trying to set boundaries with my immigrant parents while at the same time punishing myself with guilt and shame for speaking on my own wants/needs as opposed to what they want.

[@tackywacky99]

Jesus Christ. Bart's parents.. remind me of my own 😂😂

[@808Xian]

Dude that blue wall behind Joe & Anthony, there's a little spot on there, I kept rubbing my phone thinking there was some shiz on my screen

[@jimmymoua]

My parents have been acting the same way recently! I applied and funded myself through college. Graduated, got my dream job, and moved halfway across the country. Its been 5 years since and they didnt even visit me once while i visit them at least once a year. I finally bought a house this year and now they're asking if they can move in with me? I love my parents but they're acting like they're entitled to my hard work and success. They would literally guilt trip me, hold things above my head like how they gave birth to me, housed and fed me thru the years, and that i should repay them back and should be ashamed at how i'm reacting. WTF?!? I'm pretty sure that's the cost and responsibilities of having children! They dont even say these things to my other siblings who have their own houses in the same city/state they live in! I know for a fact that if they moved in, my home would no longer be mine. There's a reason why i moved away but i guess that physical boundary isn't loud enough for them to see/hear.

[@user-un7yy3rh6h]

don't let them move in with you, definitely. the moment you get guilt tripped into allowing it, you're just gonna end up with a big mess...

[@jimmymoua]

@@user-un7yy3rh6h oh i know. i've been adamant that they shouldn't move in. I've explained that uprooting their entire lives and moving to an unfamiliar location is not gonna go well for them. Their lifestyle, routine, and expectations are going to change drastically. Just like in this video with Bart's dad complaining about not being able to speak chinese at the local store or DMV, my parents would be in for a social culture shock as well. I think they imagine, living rent free, in a new home, without having to worry about a mortgage, bills, etc., trumps over everything else and is worth the sacrifice. Nope! I would be saying goodbye to my privacy and freedom and that is not something i am giving up.

[@GB-di1st]

Rip papa kwan

[@kurtlee3198]

I'm pretty new to this channel so its probs normal to most viewers but the dude doing the actions on the right of the one talking fucking killed me, that dudes fucking funny

[@shad0wCh8ser]

Yo! Asian parents be micromanagers and I feel like they want to be all up in their kids' life bc they f-ed up there life since they never learned to grow a pair and do what they wanted in life. It's like they met some adversity in life and instead of working through it, to get to the other side that's way better, they opt to settle for the status quo -since they have to follow the "societal norm" of what is acceptable in their culture. I feel Bart on this one. I'm constantly trying to set boundaries and they come back like we never had that conversation. You know the saying: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?" Well if that ain't the definition of Chinese parenting I don't know what is. I literally sit there like these ppl are LITERALLY insane. We just been through this and they're talking like it never happened. They just keep trying to do the same things that you keep telling them that it's not going to fly with me. I mean do what you do, but what ever you do, don't involve me in it. 💩's so ridiculous, I feel like I'm stuck in ground hog's day with them. And when you try to be nice and go out of your way to do something for them, there's no thank you or appreciation. It's more like why should I thank you? It's your duty. 🤨I had to break it down to them like maybe if you never left the motherland but we do it differently in the US. If you have Chinese expectations then you shouldn't have came to a place that operates on a completely different level. It's like teachers beating their students. You can't be a Taiwanese student beater and come over to the US and expect it to be okay to beat students. It's just not done here and the same logic applies. If you wanted to beat your students then you shouldn't have left Taiwan. 😅🤣 It's like you can't expect to go to someone else's house and start acting like what you do in your own home. Geez! read a room! 💩's crazy. The cultural difference is real. I'm a 1st gen American and they see it as "talking back"on anything I say but my American self is like, nah, I'm standing up for my belief -which is you gotta leave me the H alone! 😂

[@Daslickflip]

I’m lucky my Filipino parents weren’t as hardcore as other Asian parents I’ve seen. My mom’s a softy and my dad was kind of hard ass but it moulded me to have the need to protect my mom and defend myself against my dad. My dad also mellowed with time. I guess my Asian upbringing wasn’t as bad as others lol I consider myself lucky

[@mitchs3559]

Filipinos have the chillest parents of the Asians. Still more strict than white parents, but way more chill than other Asians
