0:00 I don't know. I I' I'd say I' I'd like to think I'm not that greedy, but then there's been so many times in my life where I could have cashed out like a million dollars in crypto, for example, and I'm like, "Nah, dude. Let it ride, brother." >> That's why I think I'm a number nine. >> I think I'm more up there. >> I might be a 12 then. >> Welcome back to another episode of the Careful Boys, where we have Jason Chenny back here with us, y'all. >> Thank you guys for having me. >> Jason had a great question for us. He said, "On a scale of 1 to 10, how greedy are you?" >> Yeah. I'm I'm curious about everybody. >> Who do you want to ask first? Go ahead. >> Uh Joe, >> on a scale to one to 10. >> Yeah. >> Okay. What? All right. Don't Don't be JK about it cuz I just want to see. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> What do you think is the greediest greed if you could think of like the most greediest?
0:50 >> If you could screw like your family over to get money. >> That's 10. >> I think that's 10. >> Yeah. You kill people to you. I mean, >> and it's also like you 10 would be you're taking from someone who has less than you already. >> Yeah. >> Then what's what's like five? Is that like acceptable greed? >> Five is that every time you're faced with the decision, you're always going to consider >> like how everyone feels. >> And then 50/50. >> Yeah. I think I'm a nine and I'm very long-term greed. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> You're a nine. >> Yeah. Cuz >> we just talking about 10 being screw your family over. >> That's crazy. >> Cuz like but like long-term greed is like I'll give and give and give and take care of people and then think of long-term ways >> to get greed >> of winning. >> That's not greed. I don't think that's >> ████ greed. >> That's conniving. You're conniving.
1:41 >> What that is? >> I've also I also don't know example of you doing that. >> I think you're a three. >> It's still it's still the long game, bro. >> The long long game. >> The long long one. see the fruition of that plan. >> But is that 500 years from now? >> You got us. >> That's like being a murderer who hasn't MURDERED YET. >> JUST WATCH OUT cuz I'm going to ████ you guys one day. >> He's putting the plan together. The plan's in motion. >> So everything you do and how you conduct your all your dealings are in the in the end, you'll benefit more than anyone else. >> It's it's number nine because everyone gets before I do. >> So far, everyone has beaten you. So, that's your intentions, but it's never worked out. >> I just suck at it. >> I have another question after you guys. Uh, what about >> I don't know. I I I'd say I' I'd like to think I'm not that greedy, but then there's been so many times in my life
2:32 where I could have cashed out like a million dollars in crypto, for example, and I'm like, nah, dude. Let it ride, brother. >> That's why I think I'm a number nine. >> So, I think I'm more up there. >> I might be a 12 then. >> Yeah. Yeah, that's why like I would like to think that I'm not that way, but I literally have examples of that multiple times. >> But I think crypto is like a different thing though. >> It is. It is because I didn't put that much into it. But still, I think that you're a pretty greedy bastard if you only put like $20,000 into something. You turned in $1.3 million and you're like, I think it's going to be 5 million. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> You know what I mean? If you done that, you're pretty greedy. I think >> you didn't even take 20 grand out, right? >> Like that's >> Oh, I took 100k out. >> Yeah. Okay, that's fair. That's fair. >> That's That's not being greedy. >> So, you like a 67. >> I think it's I think it's 67. I think it's really easy to be greedy though when it's not indirectly uh affecting
3:24 anybody else. >> That's true. Yeah, that's true. >> That's why level 10 is you have to harm others to get it. >> But nine, you're hurting people though. >> Um >> 10 you're killing >> cuz like Okay. What level of greed do you think is like owning a cyber slave cafe? >> Whoa. >> Oh, yeah. That's up there. >> 10. >> That's up there. >> Wait, that's greed? >> Well, you're providing jobs. >> Uh-huh. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> That's got to be a 10. >> That's 10, right? >> Cuz you got cyber slaves. What What would be worse than that? Cuz I feel like that's a 9.5. >> I think any slaves is agreed. >> Yeah. >> But then But okay, but but you're like if you cyber >> take care of them. So isn't that greedy? You mean keep them alive? >> Barely breathing. >> Feed them and ████ >> Okay. >> And you have to employ people to You're basically a slaver. Yeah. If you're a slaver, that's pretty pretty much max greed, isn't it?
4:14 >> Yeah, I think so. >> Yeah. So, cyber is better cuz you're not dealing with people and then you paying them less. >> No. Am I wrong? >> No. They're doing cyber crimes for slavery. Like they're >> Oh, okay. Never mind. >> They're forced to operate computers. >> That's like I remember being on one of those tours. Um, I went to like Washington's house or whatever and then after the tour we're outside and I heard this lady be like, "Well, they had he had to treat the slaves pretty well cuz uh you know they we saw the slave quarters and ████ and it's just like Jesus lady >> and that was my mom. >> Jesus, your mom was giving you couldn't ████ her." Yeah, I do think there's like >> you're the only victim of your greed level of greed and then there's like it gets to a point where like all right when there's victims from your greed
5:04 then you're getting ████ greedy. >> I think also how you see other people's actions determines where your greed level is at. Like when we would go to um like for when we would travel for Quest Crew, we do all these shows. >> Sometimes we go into the green room and there would be a bunch of items that were on the rider. Like you have all the drinks you asked for, all the snacks you asked for and they're laid out on the table. >> Yeah. So, you know, as you would you go over there, oh well, maybe I'll have this, maybe I'll have that. Whatever. >> In the meantime, someone else might go in there, open up a duffel bag, and just move all that ████ into their bag. But is wait but is it but the thing is is that greedy or is does that person need it and you're being greedy for not letting >> greedy versus greedy? That's greedy. >> Well, I think I think when you're all in the same boat, I mean, we're all making >> Oh, it's your friends. >> Yeah. Oh, ████ We're all like it's like imagine like several dudes in the same
5:55 team making the same money but then one guy just takes all the free ████ puts it in >> his to me if somebody goes to one of those Golden Globe or Oscars after parties and they sneak in the Gummers ball and they start grabbing goodie bags or whatever that are usually worth like 30 to 50k each >> I say let them do it cuz like those people need it. >> Yeah. But a jar of candy that's pretty pathetic. >> Yeah. But I think the if you're seeing it as like, oh, that's kind of ████ up, then you're probably not as greedy. Otherwise, you'd be like like you'd be fighting over it. But I think you could be greedy but not cheap. >> But if Okay. But the thing is like if everybody is doing decent, like doing okay, and then you're taking snacks, it's like I just be like, "What the f███?" Okay. >> Yeah. And it's before anybody's got them. >> Oh, now that's stupid. That's what I mean. It's not like, "Oh, if you guys are not going to feed, >> that's ████ crazy." Yeah. >> Well, is I don't what you think is greed
6:46 or like a little bit of autistic. >> I think I think it's narciss I think it's narcissism and greed. >> Let's do this spectrum ████ Why are we always blaming spectrum ████ for everything? Sometimes you're just a ████ ████ >> Yeah. >> Yeah, that's true. If a if a downsy kids knows right from wrong. >> That's what I'm saying. >> Yeah, definitely. You're definitely have to be >> guarantee you, dude. But it's like that uh the the scarcity mentality thing. Like my grandma will always uh collect bags. >> Oh yeah. >> Like like um shopping bags to use it as trash bags and whatever the thing is. >> That's cool. Yeah. Being cheap is not the same as being greedy. >> Oh, but maybe that guy is cheap though. >> He's definitely cheap. >> Yeah. And it's not like your grandma was taking those bags from other people that needed bags. >> Oh, right. You have a snack. Oh, people wanted snacks though. Dude, my grandma
7:37 had a lobster in her freezer that was from 1975. >> Not a bit. And when we found it, it was in like the '9s. We're like, "Grandma, why do you have this?" And she's like, "I live I lived in the Great Depression." She's like, "I keep everything." That's what I'm saying. >> So, yeah, I know what you're talking about. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> The great part is the fact that you don't check with everybody like, "Is it okay if I do this?" >> Instead, it's like, "Let me just do this before anybody says something." >> It's like, that's where I'm like, "Okay, that's greedy." >> But Oh, yeah. But I just don't know. >> I'm not greedy with like you want a ████ ton and then it gets bad when there's other people suffering because you want something. >> I think I think theoretically I'm I think we should find real examples. >> But my thing like that specific example I my thing is like I don't know what his financial be wellbeing. >> Same same as mine. >> Okay, that's my thing. Like if you're doing okay, you could afford the ████
8:29 chips. Like what do you mean you taking the chips? What is it? Like you could afford the chips. Why'd you take it? >> It's great. That's what I'm saying. It's like he's probably not even going to eat it all. It's just he wants all he wants to have everything. >> It's also really ████ stupid. >> The reason he's making faces and he's making faces who is >> but but then here's a question for you. Let's say that you you hired um you're going to do a tour, right? A comic tour. You you get four other comedians to like open for you, whatever. What if one of those comedians goes around your back to the promoter and goes, "Hey, like why don't you just have the four of us back and and not Jason? We'll do it way cheaper." >> That's greed, right? >> Yeah, that's ████ up. >> That happened to us too with the same guy. >> Oh my god. >> I think he's a businessman. >> These are my definitions of greed because I've seen that happen and I'm and like how it makes you feel makes you
9:20 see where you are in the meter. I'm >> I would never do that. Most people who get relatively successful have to have to have an element of greed to get there. >> They they do. >> What do you guys have anything that that you would you you were very you were greedy and then you regretted it? Like did you do something that you're like, "Oh man, I didn't know if I want to do that." >> Yeah. I was the victim of my own greed with crypto. I think we can all agree to that. >> Yeah. >> We're bad boys. >> Okay. >> The best bad boys. >> Yeah. The best. Did you have you guys ever did that stuff like uh like hurt somebody or like affected others on accident? >> Probably repressed the ████ out of it in my mind. >> Okay. I'm too guilty for this ████ man. Like I I stole a ████ Little Mermaid Flounder inflatable toy from my my
10:10 neighbor when I was a little kid and I was I had it in my sink and I was splashing with it. Mom's like, "Where did you get that?" And I was like, "Uh, nowhere." And then she immediately busted my ass, took me next door. Um, I had to apologize and I never stole anything again or even thought about it again in my whole life. >> I'm just too guilty. The other day I was at a ████ store and I I I was getting kitty litter. And then I was like, "Oh, I'll get some string cheese." And I put the string cheese between the kitty litters because it was falling out of the basket. And then I get to the car and I realize I didn't pay for the ████ string cheese. And I walk my ass all the way back in there and I scan the screen cheese and because I just couldn't sleep if I if I did that ████ I'm just too guilty. >> I think you could be greedy and not shady. Like so like for example like I'll go to Costco, right? And I'm like ████ I have to pack my ████ with like 10 things cuz I think like I need it and then like right when I'm about to like
11:01 walk out I go but I don't want to ████ carry this so I throw it back. >> So then it's I'm greedy but I'm lazy. So then like >> my mind goes I want all of it and then you go a but I don't want to carry all of it. >> So then you throw it back. >> Greed is to me that it mean I think real greed is someone has to lose. >> So it's not like like there's a bunch of unused things that no one will have and you take it all. >> Those are meant for everyone and you're the only one that gets it coming. >> I think I'm I'm definitely greedy in thought. >> Like I have those thoughts >> like a ████ you ████ Like I like I I'm capable of thinking in a very greedy way and then I have to tell myself that's very wrong to do that. That's that you're being greedy. >> You have to remember there's 60 other Kes. >> I have to have that conversation in my mind before I could just make it to I I don't think I'm like just out the gate
11:52 like so ████ selfless. >> I think I have greedy thoughts at times and then I go that's being greedy and then I I dial it back. >> See, you're long-term greedy. Here's a good thing. Let's say that you get a budget, right? and they go, "Here's 20k. We want you to like film a video and produce it and hire people." Do you always try to make sure that you get an amount that's fair for you, or do you tend to lean towards let's just make sure the product is great first? >> Well, I don't think those are mutually exclusive concepts. I think it's always going to be a great product. >> Oh, okay. Damn. >> I think cuz that's the goal, right? That's the only way we're going to get the next job. Like that that's the foundation. >> Take care of your people, too. >> Yeah. And then if I don't take care of my people, they're not going to do the next job. >> So like to me is not like those are those are the the absolute like statutes that have to like fall into play. We
12:42 have to make a great product with it. >> Uh and now the greedy part will come into play. Like how do we make it a great product? Well, >> if I'm on it, it'll be great. >> Like if if I if I put this other if I put this other person and they're in charge, are they going to make it great? >> Yeah. Well, the the greed is like cuz in our world that's where you'll see that is someone will get a budget. They'll keep a ton of the money and just get everyone to do ████ for free. >> Yeah. >> It's like, >> wait, for free or just very little? >> Yeah. Or they'll say there's no budget or say there's very they'll like lie about the budget and be like, "Oh, you know what? Like, you down to do me this like solid and just be in this thing and do like gig workers will always run into that >> because a lot of people aren't being truthful about budget or some agents." >> Video ho too, man. Video hoes don't get paid barely. video. >> Think about it, dude. All the video hoes out there, man. They're always getting promised all kinds of ████ Like,
13:32 you're going to get so much exposure from this. You don't understand. Like, it's going to be great for your career and all that stuff. You know, there's a budget, >> but those poor video hoes, man. >> Yeah, there's a budget. It's just not for you kind of deal. Yeah. >> Hey, but they get a Subway catering sandwich, though. True. >> Those are fire. >> They are. They are, >> dude. >> Those are literally the worst sandwiches on earth. >> I know. What what uh in the scale of like fairness to to like of like when you Yeah. fair to like I'm greedy when you pay where do you usually lie because I know you said usually when you start you're greedy but then you you have a conversation >> I have mentally greedy thoughts. I'm not saying I start greedy. I'm capable of thinking like that. >> Uh I think I'm because I work with my crew mates like they're also like my boys. I think I'm more than fair. >> More than fair. Wow, that's really nice. >> When I'm working with people I don't
14:22 know, it's very easy to go to quote unquote industry standards. >> Yes. >> Like just like this is a typical rate. >> Yeah. And then you stay there. >> That's also because I don't know you like that. Like I'm not >> I'm not trying I don't know your life problems. I don't you haven't ridden with me in the beginning. I just brought you I just gave you a job. Everybody just wants a job. So if it's a standard rate, that's the fair rate because the entire industry said this is the fair rate. >> You should cut undercut everybody and say just hire Anthony Lee. ████ the Kenjas. Charge me cheaper every Kenja in one. >> No, >> I do the opposite. And I think that's where it sucks. >> I think I I >> Then we're not greedy cuz you've been the you've been the lead of projects where you actually got paid the least or nothing, right? >> Absolutely. >> There you go. Then you're not that greedy. >> Oh my god, that's so >> I feel like that's me all the time. Anytime if you can make the call and you actually didn't take the most money, then that's I I think that proves you're
15:13 not. >> That's why I get really greedy in crypto. I got to balance myself out. Okay, cool. >> I don't think it's greedy because you're willing to be the victim and save everybody else and you're trying to save it, but then you get ████ too because of your greed. >> Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> Boy, we've been ████ >> Oh, baby. >> The f██████'s good. Uh,
