 Did Asian viral sensation Lil Tay just fake her own death or does she just have the worst parents in the world? Yo, we got to talk about this because this went Super viral both the news of her death and then the news of the hoax and now people are debating about who to blame Let's just say this Andrew Lil Tay. She definitely had her little day in the sun Because even legitimate news sources were tricked by this despite no governmental agencies No police departments. No coroner departments ever verifying this. So a lot of people are basically signaling this Andrew This is it for social media. It's peaked. It's only downside from here. Get off social media All right, everybody Please hit that like button check out other episodes of the hot-pot boys But don't get off YouTube because you need to watch more hot-pot boys because we actually deal with facts and we pop up Little screenshots of our receipts of the searches, you know, so you know what we're referencing But anyways guys, I do want to talk about Lil Tay. Okay, she is half Chinese mostly grew up in Vancouver Her mother is Chinese and I guess like I guess the weird thing is is like she's one of the few Asian people that Everybody talked about like everything from like kind of the urban circles like your DJ academics to your reddit pages your general reddit Entertainment you unless Jackie Chan passed away. You would never see these You know urban sites post anything generally Asian. Yeah, it was it really interesting. Why why is she so like why did people? I don't know if they cared about her, but they talked about I mean she was a huge sensation in 2018 Andrew We're talking about Tay Tien, which apparently a lot of people were reporting her name to be Claire Chee Hope But it's actually Tay Tien, you know, actually we call her Shao Tien. That's where a little Tay came from So there's just a lot of misinformation out there. Yeah I mean her brother is Jason Tien or mom's Angela Tien Chris dad is her hope Chris hope is her dad I mean, I think that she sort of captured everybody's attention because there was this little hopper girl And you could say she kind of has like a Eileen goo look right like you don't know whether she's white or Asian looks like half But acting sort of like the youngest flexer ever on all you broke boys You can't even get this Ferrari and I didn't even start rapping yet And that really captivated people's attention in 2018 like she was probably one of the most viral people in America that year she was so viral even Eminem dropped a bar about her Eminem is one of the greatest Rappers of all time top 10, you know, and he's like oh got more fans than you and your own little city little kitty Go play feel like I'm babysitting Lil Tay. Yeah, and I think a lot of people now are debating like do are we glad that? Lil Tay is alive. Are we sad that she tricked us and what's going on in her life? Like you know what I mean like what is she being exploited or she herself some little little clout genius That's like toying with everybody's attention economy. Listen if it is actually child exploitation and actually serious like child abuse It needs to be investigated from a criminal standpoint CPS somebody called the doc the police got to be called But if this is some social media BS and the parents were either trying to take her off social media Or she did this whole hoax herself her and her brother just to get attention so that she could go do a bunch of podcasts in a year From now launch a crypto coin. Yeah, then shame on her and I'm down to cancel her for it if that comes out to be true but I think Part of me. I also I'm glad that she's alive because I was like slightly sad I was like, dang, I don't want to hear a little tape passed away. That's not cool You know, I'm sad, but I'm glad she's alive and now that she's alive. I'm over it Like I don't care what happens anymore, right? You are Officially disengaging Taking up so much of my attention and so much of the airspace and it has been such a distraction that I'm like dude Just stay alive and shut up and nobody care about her anymore, right? Value like her her content is like not she can't come back and do the same content Unless unless she's been practicing her rap skills this whole time and she comes out with some fire Oh, she starts rapping like Eminem. Maybe then maybe I'll pay attention Let's get in the comments section somebody said she must have just watched that Dave episode Which is a little dicky show where he faked his death because it almost seems shot-for-shot like that somebody said no She more had watched Jesse Smully a someone said listen guys This isn't even surprising in the past month on Instagram sharks have been eating people like chicken nuggets Aliens have been dropping by earth for coffee and cake and somebody just faked their own kidnapping a week ago So let's just go for it. It's 2023 fake your death and then just announce it 24 hours later Who cares life is weird somebody said you listen when teens become deeply involved in social media It appears to become more important to them than anything else young people really need to stay off their cell phones and Social media. Yeah, I mean I think either way because so many people were speculating Oh, did she commit suicide was it a murder suicide? Did she get in a jet skiing accident in Alberta and then a lot of people are like dude We were all speculating we were all on this edge of our seats and then it just turned out to be fake and you're launching a crypto coin Yeah, that's what I heard man. Oh my god. If you guys buy that coin You deserve to be broke. Yeah, somebody said listen guys This is playing out exactly like Lil Tay's camp wants a poor kid is exploited by her family becomes a sad reflection of social media Disappears now wants attention again So they fake a story about our death and guess what everybody falls for it and reports it and I get it They need views and it's their job and it's just such a pathetic stage. We reach that a society Nobody even cares what's real or fake anymore even legitimate news sources were not even checking before they reported the news Yo, so what if we had like a a Judge like what if you had like three strikes on social media like all the news sites would post you a couple times But if you did them wrong then they won't post you anymore. We need to start actually cancelling people But see here's the thing and you are Positing that they care about what is right and what's wrong. They just want the clicks I think if Lil Tay is proven to get clicks what she clearly has with the faking her death If she does another thing this stupendous enough and it gets clicks Lil Tay will still be near the top of the search news SEO I don't know. I don't know if people have the appetite for I'm a little bit Journalistic integrity integrity has been compromised in the name of consumers Wouldn't have the appetite to hear more about Lil Tay, right? All right. Listen if Lil Tay so she's still she's still live But let's say unfortunately she happens to pass away like next year I don't know if this news is gonna be as big because people are gonna be like, oh my gosh Like did she already like die or whatever like, you know what I mean? It depends. I think it just depends on how many clicks that her name gets literally I think that people are literally just looking at that name Lil Tay and they're analyzing the hardcore deep analytics on it Andrew is it more tick-tock? Is it more Instagrams and more social media or is it more parenting? Why does it feel like social media is showing the downfall of American society or North American society from within well? There's a lot of blame to go around David. Do you blame the individual? Themselves that's abusing social media. That's just putting out their content and putting out all these lies No trying to heat up the attention pie, right? Because there's only so much attention pie Do you blame the news sources that give it attention? Do you blame the consumers for caring? Do you blame the parents for raising that kid because the parents can't control everything the kid does? So there's just a lot of blame to go around or do you blame the capitalistic system that allowed them to make millions off being this Ridiculous internet character like the same thing man It's like I mean, you know if you don't like some some rap music But you give it attention because you think it's a bad influence, but it's also highly entertaining Then that's also you're also to blame. Yeah, no, it's true people always make that argument saying. Oh, man I'm so sick of this mumble rap. It's all about violence, but then sometimes the ultra lyrical rappers are a positive message rappers They don't get the attention and the gravity they need to sustain You know their economics are at least at the same level Somebody said I hate anybody named Lil anything bad, baby Lil pump Lil Tay none of them add anything of value to society all horrific I do think if you put a little in front of your name or you put bad in front of your name You probably are not a super serious person. You're probably not making a highly intellectual content. That's positive I can almost assure you so I think this is why that person said that. Yeah, I mean, of course other people were mad I feel so dumb following this some people were really angry about it some people really mad Let's just get into our takeaways Andrew Is it kind of sad that this is the only way and I'm not saying everybody considers Lil Tay Asian? I always thought she was Asian I've seen her speak Mandarin and like understand Mandarin But like I get it cuz she doesn't look, you know, it's how I got the hop of look But like is this weird that this is the only way the Asians can penetrate like the low-end market, you know I mean, I'm not saying I lean goo like switching teams to China and winning a gold That wasn't discussed on like geopolitical like Fox News, but I'm talking about Amongst just like a person who works at like Burger King. They're talking about Lil Tay But I think she just kind of falls into Like this comment said like the bad baby viral like kind of sphere where it's like like the Jerry Springer Just very easy to consume these people are ridiculous Is it like honey boo boo? Are you saying they're speaking ridiculous? Like I don't know. I think it is unfortunate I think it's interesting that a lot of people don't talk about her being Asian or I guess it's not an issue And I guess maybe I'm glad that it's not I guess it goes to show you that if a girl I think particularly Asian female who doesn't appear to be super super Asian looking and Also doesn't act Asian so she doesn't represent Asian culture or Eastern culture and philosophies Then I feel like her being Asian is not really a point. Yeah I think the only time I've seen a guy be half Asian and not have it be talked about is the Octo mom's Father, you know the people who had ah, yeah kids or whatever. Yeah, we had like nine kids or something. Yeah Like the dad was half a John Kate innate. Yeah. Yeah John. Yeah, John Goslin or whatever his name was Um, I guess does it also feel like this is an interesting observation Andrew that uh, like fob Chinese Which I believe Jason 10 Angela 10, which is her brother and her mom because I think she has a half brother Who's full Chinese from China from another marriage and her mom born in China Yeah, her mom is a fob from China was born in China born in China And I'm saying that like is it interesting that I feel like whether it's getting into Wild illegal things or just in the news for some sort of like fringe non-model minority thing or even doing You know even more adult video or something like that. It's a lot of people from China You're not gonna see that type of like edgy extreme behavior Prototypically from Chinese Americans. Yeah, I think that there's more Foreign-born Asians in America. Most Chinese are foreign-born 60% right I was only a lot of American-born Asians tend to assimilate harder into One of the pre-existing cultures in America, which would I guess temper them a little bit or put them in this kind of role Where they don't I guess act out as much or something like that No, does it seem like ABCs are super normie? Yeah And if you see somebody who's a pro MMA fighter this crazy clout driven social media personality or living like rice gum or whatever They would be more like a somebody from Asia or just something. Yeah, cuz they're outside of the box They're just being very non-confucian I mean you could say a lot of the most famous Asian-American actors are even from Canada too, is there something about being from a different country low-teh seamu? There's I do think that Asian-Americans from Canada play ourselves very small and play the game very conservatively for good and bad Yeah, because there's pros and cons of everything, you know, there's a lot of Asian Americans I think a lot of American-born Asians tend to go into different fields different careers like they tend to maybe Just want to climb the corporate ladder and stuff like that and want to live life and go to nice bakeries And also I think Asian-Americans are taught to at least on the high end really appeal to like a very posh crowd and not like You know, I'm just gonna go ahead and say a lot of people follow a little Tay not that for sure Not like a big book reading crowd probably not no No, I think that's safe to assume but anyways guys up. Oh, I got my last takeaway Shame on the news man. Oh, yeah shame and we're talking about major news outlets with people paid to vet information and do due diligence Reporting on little taste death literally based off a chat GPT AI written thing whether it was by her mom or a manager or herself chat GPT wrote her eulogy dude There has to be a limit on social media guys like there needs to be a law that all the social media has to Abide by that's like hey if we talked about you this amount of times and you've Lie, yeah, in order to get attention then we cannot talk about you anymore You are banned from being talked about but that would then again go against freedom of speech and go against the freedom of the Stupid consumer to consume this and give it attention Literally, I think social media has peaked now after the little tape has captivated both Mom-and-pop as well as Institutional media outlets for 24 hours can't commandeered the headline section. It's a wrap It's officially a wrap this whole thing is going down I think people in their minds have to filter out news better and you have to tell yourself This is stupid you have to say you have to have the stupid filter and say listen. I like cat videos I like these fight videos. I like these cooking videos shark I mean Metal videos, but this is hits my stupid meter. So anyways guys have that stupid meter up I recommend it have the filter up. Boom. Hey, but I'm glad little taste alive though. Yeah. Yes I'm glad little taste a lot. Yeah, I'm glad she's not dead. I'm glad shaltay is still around Shaltay lives on yeah, but I can't lie. I don't want to hear about her on social media anymore. Please nobody post her Yeah, but just let her be alive All right, you guys let us know what you think in the comment section keep it civil until next time with a hop-hop boys. We're out
