if you can't tell by the title this is gonna be kind of a serious video unlike
our other straight-up goofball videos I mean songs about pineapples so
something is going on in our lives and has been going on in our lives and we
thought we should make a video about it so if you guys click to see a funny
video you're not gonna see it so this problem started ever since we
were kids so ever since we were kids our parents limited our career options so so
basically both our parents encouraged us to only be doctors lawyers engineers so
it's the top tier careers that you could get when you go to college and graduate
and have a great sustainable job for the rest of your life and by constantly
telling us that we grew up thinking all right either we're gonna be a doctor or
a lawyer and we both chose doctors because there's no lawyer subject in
school and we both like science more than the other subjects in school so
like lunch nah besides what lunch was my favorite subject so we chose to become
doctors so we both thought we have to be doctors so our entire lives all that was
stressed to us was us being doctors to impress our parents or to make our
parents proud so basically our career options were through a scope this small
and we have to pick here instead of everywhere else and mind you this was
taught to us from a very young age but as kids me and Gary had like all sorts
of hobbies we like to try different things I for example if I was gonna be
an NBA player like a lot of kids do it a bunch of things what did we do bro we
like should we shop videos we made songs like what the videos did we shoot but we
like shop first what we did vines we did to Milan like when we had a video camera
we even we made videos on that camera like we were trying to fall off or bunk
beds and make a video out of it like and we broke the camera putting it on the
thing trying to make the camp we were the biggest goofballs when we're at home
or when we were together and as kids we did like all sorts of things we paid
like sports we paid music instruments and stuff we went to acting school at
one point because yeah we made vines at one point solid solid two binders and
even though we did all these things as kids
the closer we got to high school in college the more we were told that only
the high tier careers are what you're gonna do this mindset that our parents
have is because they came from another country and school was basically a
guaranteed job for the rest of life our parents have this mindset
because they came here as immigrants in their 20s I saw these careers that
Dayton had the opportunity to become a doctor an engineer a lawyer for their
son to become a doctor engineer a lawyer yeah and those are like the highly
respected careers are a doctor you're saving lives a lawyer engineer like
respectable smart intelligent right so when you start comparing it to anything
else the other career is not as good mind you they even have the opportunity
to they couldn't go so many years in school and they had us and I needed like
to work and get a medical school and be in debt
yeah our mom had us drop college yeah and she still went she had birth then
went to class a weak leader yet birth and missed the test and got ahead yeah
yeah I even know that well now you do so now fast forward today they were both in
college and we both chose bio as our major in college but after my first
semester in college is the bio major I changed my major because I hated it I
was like I don't want to be a doctor and I have a life epiphany like I don't want
to be this like a family doctor so I changed my major to psychology to be the
psychologist and at the time we started doing YouTube videos and it got more fun
and fun and we got more into it and we realize that there's careers outside of
being just a doctor and that's after like two years of college realizing like
not everybody is a doctor or a lawyer so basically fast-forward now and we
become a little bit bigger on YouTube even though we're so small we gain like
a little bit more fans a little bit more like traction behind our videos and I
realized that this is what I want to do and this is what I can do so you tell
your parents mom like I want to be an ice cream salesman and she goes an ice
cream salesman you mean a doctor you can be a doctor and sell ice cream and now
both your parents who have supported you your whole life for me they thought I
was gonna be a doctor and now you're telling them no I'm not gonna be a
doctor I don't want to be a doctor I wanna be this ice cream salesman
thank you still okay what you said YouTube there so ice cream salesman
translates to doing YouTube okay that's me
and mind you when we started YouTube we went to two separate universities which
was like about hour away from my house and we came every single weekend and
recorded videos and went back record videos and went back so and then we
edited during the week row of skits over the phone
and we did this ongoing for over a year yeah and now that I realize that YouTube
is something that I want to do instead of go to call
via doctor and my current situation at my university is that I'm living alone
and now that I'm living alone not wanting to be at college and it's not
that I don't want to do the work right not to brag I'm actually really good at
school and now since I don't really want to be
on my college it's become basically miserable to be somewhere you don't
really want to be and not having a choice
basically and having to drive an hour to go to his apartment and hang out during
the week because I'm alone in my situation I've been studying biology for
a long time and halfway through making YouTube videos I realize that you can be
successful doing anything you actually want and put your work into but the
problem is that there are people around us that don't want us to do that so they
don't they don't want you to succeed at these certain things because they only
want you to be again the top tier doctor lawyer blah blah blah the problem is not
that I don't want to become a doctor the problem is I need to choose what I'm
going to do for the rest of my life and my decision is gonna be all up to me and
have no one else's influence on it or I'm gonna make sure that no one else's
influence is on it so I'd be confident for the rest of my life that I'm doing
what I want to do because I wanted to do what I want to do got it good so now
basically our parents think what's best for us is what they think which is for
me being a doctor and staying in school and not giving me the option to do
whatever I want in my life and that's on YouTube even though I know I'm gonna
succeed at whatever I do I want to make that choice and I'm gonna pick that
career not you a lot of it does stem from our parents thinking too much of
what other people might think like they don't want to say that their son makes
YouTube videos they want to say oh he's a doctor he cures cancer that's that's
what they wanted and like they don't understand that YouTube is a different
kind of cure I cured your laughter I don't know thank you laughter I used
laughter to cure you I don't know so they constantly I say what if you fail
what if you fail like what if you try to be a youtuber and you don't go to school
and then you go at homeless and you fail everything they're saying towards us is
like you're gonna fail so don't do it it's it's easier to become a doctor not
you're gonna fail but what if you feel like what if you fail like the chances
aren't high for you to do that so don't do it the chances are high to me there's
no doubt I don't see this whole chance thing I don't understand this mindset of
what if I fail because me and Gary literally put so much work into making
our videos good we know that we always improve you know we put out good videos
and at the end of the day it's like believing in
yourself and putting enough work to get there and I don't understand this what
if I fail no I'm gonna do it until I make it happen and you have this these
people constantly telling you no don't do it or like no I'm not I won't support
you and to me it's like I'm at a point where I don't care because this is what
I want to do and I sit here trying to convince them and convince them and I
think I'm getting the upper hand a little bit and to me there is no doubt
and yes we're not the biggest on YouTube yet but no no man it's like there's not
a lot of people that watch us but we get like such good comments all the time and
I guarantee that even though right now probably you're watching us when we're
really small I guarantee you one day you're gonna also watch us when we're
big so if you're watching us now you're the reason we're still doing what we're
doing right now is because of your support so hopefully your support sticks
till the end which at which there is no end but so even though basically our
parents and our family they don't want to see us do YouTube the thing that does
keep us going is you guys we apply to you guys we talk to you guys because we
love it we love the support you guys give and we know that it's gonna
continue and there's gonna be more of you guys I know it
so ya we didn't make this video to say oh our lives are terrible we have to make a
choice our parents are making us do this no it was kind of just to let you know
so you guys who are watching this now hopefully believe in us as much as we
believe in us and that's a lot that's a lot of belief that's a lot of belief so pick into
your pockets and take up all the belief you just spit all over me sorry
they don't want us to succeed in life, they don't want me to succeed
