0:00 thank you [Music] welcome to another great episode of careful boys we have with us today Colleen Lionheart I wanted to know since we're of the generation where we were not entirely Born Into the internet the attitude I kind of had to figure it out as we were growing up we you know 56k mash it was rough we were having and experiencing the most unsupervised internet usage days that were possible hey uh very very little ways to hide anything you were doing as well as a very little reason parents even gave a ████ about what you were looking at so during that time when you were a kid did you ever make friends with people online that you never actually met in real life yep yes
0:51 where uh I don't know where but uh but I would usually troll all the time and pretend like I'm like a 15 year old girl and then I would try to like seduce dudes and then what's the legend dude somehow I ended up talking I found out I was talking to a chick who's really Joe on the other side and then we started like talking and then I think through our conversation we realized oh ████ like she's in Anaheim and I'm in Cerritos just kind of close wow and then it went from there to on the phone and then uh we really and then we started realizing some of our friends probably go to the same church or whatever and no they know it's crazy but I don't know what happened from that point oh you didn't get like touch I mean she was a real girl right you talked her on the phone yeah a lot of times unless I don't
1:42 know there's some crazy technology it's like a muscles like Manti Teo yeah yeah yeah or even the FBI ████ dropped the ball it was a real girl and you never met that's pretty cool you're the only guy I've ever met who actually met a real girl this was like Jewel your ████ luck is insane trying to be a part 1998 baby wow yeah it's like back in the day the cool thing is back then like I know now there's a stigma about like meeting people online might be creepy whatever back then it was cool because you know there were very little stories like you didn't hear a lot of bad ████ we didn't know how weird it was yet no not at all like you could just go on prodigy or copy server whatever everything was just about meeting people just saying random ████ and tripping out that someone talked back yeah ASL you're a real person you're on a computer and it's like whoa you're a real person and then you start connecting with like-minded people I
2:32 remember like in Early College where it's still kind of weird or you've met people online but there's like forums was like a big thing and then my buddies that were into like ████ reptiles and like fishes and stuff they would start they're like hey you in the world because I was a guy I was always the guy with the truck so you just become the automatic help me move ████ guy yeah so it's like hey can you can you help me we're gonna go ████ pick up his fish tank or whatever and then I'm like because all I don't know this guy's cool and we show up to people's houses don't worry he's a lizard guy he thinks of random things piranhas and like and like you're just like what the ████ and I'm like man it's like a whole nother side to my friend that I never knew I mean so this is what you're doing when you're ████ lurking around online this ████ talking to other reptile people so you're not describing Joe no this was uh one of my other buddies I feel like a lot of these
3:22 stories I'm like it could be Joe yeah so that's Sancho it could be Joe I mean Joe probably sold those things he's showing piranhas at the time my other friend was more of a customer as a buyer you like he liked those things you want to bought from Joe so in terms of people that um meeting online that I did meet there was one dude back in the day in early 90s AOL um you would have to go into chat rooms and the different chat rooms if you went to the Asian tab would be like split up by what type of Asian it would be Pinoy panai there would be like Cambodian there'd be like all this stuff and you just go in and talk to people and then what we used to do in the Pinoy Pinay chat room is we would uh raid other culture chat rooms and just talk ████ for no reason we would go into the uh cambodians chat room and just keep typing Cambo soup Campbell Soup like over and over so they couldn't believe and then we would do
4:12 these macro images where they were like dashes and stuff but it would make the Campbell Soup can all right and then it would just take up the whole page and then we would just piss them off like crazy because before they couldn't even reply anything like oh yeah it's like dude baby just ████ their chat to death and they would all leave and they would be like so back in the day for no reason for absolutely no reason Filipinos just were beefing with the cambodians for zero reason and that was just because of you used we would do back and forth it was kind of like a lightheart joke and then the guys that would do that with I was like dude this is fun like you're actually really cool and stuff and then I found out uh later on that that dude was also like got into breaking at the same time no way and then I would see him in the b-boy Pinoy Pinoy chats and I'd be like yo this is tight oh ████ yeah and then uh later on he ended up uh
5:02 I would run into him from time to time in my life in different real life scenarios in person yeah so it turned out later like one of the guys that did my crew his name's Rudy he's actually cousins with that ████ guy no way and then now today like uh we were talking the other uh month about hollow hollow ice cream and the hollow hollow ice cream place got tagged in the comments like you should try this place turns out he's the ████ owner no way this guy keeps popping up in your life crazy is that yeah to marry this guy or something yeah so what was born out of Cambodian hate is now a nice little princess that's crazy and here's a really interesting story about people I'd never met this is gonna be really ████ weird so another uh subchat in AOL at the time it was called Dr game whiz doctor game was was not only a chat room but it was like a little it was aol's
5:53 only gaming section that was just all about video game stuff you can go get codes for games you can get strategy guides it was called doctor game ways okay in the chat room there was one doctor game was who's probably the owner of that little subset thing that was sanctioned by AOL so you can't just make your own doctor games so this guy would talk to people like hey welcome to the chat if you guys have any questions whatever I thought that was so cool I was a kid at the time maybe like I was probably in eighth grade I thought it'd be cool to make an AOL name called game whiz Junior and I was going to act like I was affiliated with the chat but I acted like a robot so I used those alt fonts where you could just make weird symbols like wean dings yeah like weird things that you normally people didn't know how to like color your font like if you hold alt and you say oh one three four let go it would be like a cross that you can't normally type so I would like do these weird symbols to make it look like I'm a bot which they didn't have at the time and I
6:45 would be like welcome to the chat I am your Bot game whiz Junior and people would ask for codes for games and I would just look them up at some other source because I had stacks of gaming magazines and I would tell them the codes they wanted to know as if it was an auto response and people were freaking out they would go there's a ████ automatic robot giving us the codes to the things we're asking for sure and I did this for a year straight a very helpful tool yeah dude yeah were you like a Good Samaritan and then at one point I ████ up and I did the alt code wrong and one of the symbols was off and it started this huge like conspiracy of like I think game was junior is a real guy you noticed that he did this symbol wrong right here and all this whole chat of like 100 kids were like I think he might be a real guy it was a real thing and I got so embarrassed that I left the chat so they ████ themselves out on all these cheat codes they had it for like a couple hours that's the most internet
7:35 thing ever we have to call out something that doesn't ████ matter and then you ruin the whole fun of it yeah and then game whiz Junior jumps off a ████ cliff yeah let everybody down I remember I remember one time I turned in uh one of my my fifth grade or sixth grade like homework assignments All In wingdings wow that's also the most bar thing I actually wrote the paper but then you know how like you're like messing with fonts you highlight the whole thing and I was like oh what it's ████ butterflies and zippers and ████ like that oh my God you thought that this is just to be funny yeah I got in trouble they did say like and they had they created the the new rule like Times New Roman 10 or 8. he standardized the policy for essay
8:26 turns because teacher went through a box of red pens trying to correct your paper no this kid hasn't happened to me again it's all the yin yang symbols yeah yeah teachers like hurting their cramping their hand because they're doing so many ████ red markers teachers got a ████ re-f██████ type in in wingdings font and translate it to figure out what you said yeah you ever meet any girls online I don't know I I think I always like randomly would chat and ran things like that like just uh genres of things but I was always I didn't know who I was talking to so I didn't ever really pursue deeply and then I always had very limited amounts of Internet time and then my sister got it because she's the older sister yeah so I always got ████ what felt like 10 of the time that she got because she was older what about doing the whole like aim era did
9:17 you were you able to like by that time I was talking to friends already oh yeah it was just like you know when I wasn't like trying to meet new people through I am I was trying to like get chicks aims at my school you know what I mean and like just kind of be in like those groups classic Anthony but maybe it's also because I'm like younger than you guys about a couple years right so it's like uh by that time people started like having their aim identity and like being able to talk about that versus like your identity you're hiding behind your identity and you're just in chat rooms not knowing who people are yeah by the time you're like handing them out and trying to meet people with this like digital username you know does anybody else remember their username their aim username absolutely yeah a lot of weird chats I had like XPO folks X I'd like 64. I mean like like poor folks okay so there's this ████ in Buena Park on ████ uh be sure if there's a Po Folks
10:08 restaurant do you remember this why are you repping it I don't know I just thought it was ████ funny I ate there one time like it looks out the window I ate that one time and I was like it's all right but then it's like Po Folks and I like it that much I was like my parents are poor or what kind of food is like Cajun literally thought I was like my parents are poor Po Folks is like poor ████ parents and I was like that's me wow you identified me you thought it was funny hello folks yeah yeah ████ break but I really did I was like my parents are poor so my old screen name was silly goose but the second o was a zero see did he identify with a goose but that's like Asian gangsters that time had names like that though Bert Swan and the goose that's interesting some of the scariest Asian thugs I met had names like that in real ████ life they like there were some
10:59 gangs that were like yo what gang you oh Teddy Ruxpin gang Teddy Ruxpin and they look ████ fiercely I heard to say the silly goose gang yeah like there were people like one of my friends uh older cousins was a uh like a two-time cop killer already so yeah metaphor so he's one of those dudes where like if if like they pulled him over uh if cops pulled them over and then they like they ran whatever his information they would shoot him on the spot like they wouldn't even like put him in jail or whatever they're like okay this is for killing like our our brothers like you like I don't care what it is if we find so he's one of those guys where he's like he's so on the verge of either getting like exported back to Vietnam or ████ thrown in jail for life that he was just down for anything because he's so ████ crazy because he's on that edge you know like it doesn't matter where he goes it's gonna be the worst sentence ever and his name was muffin
11:53 you look the craziest ████ this one his name is muffin yeah he was loved at one point yeah I guess I don't know how did he just get muffin it was just so you get a name like that well it's because the way he had his hair so he had slick back hair and I guess the way he faded it it always poured over a little like a muffin top so muffin became his thing but then he's like this crazy ass ████ just named muffin dude scary yeah there were a lot of gangsters like that in chat rooms too they had like gangster chat rooms on AOL I guess the island isn't that funny yeah pretty much like all the Asian Thug dudes and they would put their gang in their screen name and I had my ████ Team Fortress classic clan in my streaming we were 5150 they're criminally insane because like when you're a kid you find out about that and you're like oh yeah we're thinking so then that was our plan crazy 5150 and then we played Team Fortress
12:44 classic and beat up on these other teams and ████ but those are the guys I knew but I never met him but then like I everyone called me snake because I like Metal Gear Solid so it was like call me snake like I whisper it too yeah you never try to meet up with any of them like No And if you guys are in San Diego or uh I I don't I there was no reason to it was like we played games online we played this one game online and we played it really ████ well and and that was the only reason I had to even talk to them really like outside of like my normal friend group oh I recently met um I totally forgot for like six four to six years I've been playing GTA online with a friend that lived in the Netherlands that I just met like randomly online and we've just been playing GTA like uh with a group of like 12 of us sometimes and then uh I met her recently when I was in
13:34 Amsterdam for the first time oh cool yeah it was dope did she look like what she thought he pictured in her head yeah like a ████ Netherland person how does it feel like meeting interest meeting someone that you've known without I think it's I think it's different because nowadays games are different than it would have been back then where like back then it was so much about the game and then now it's so much more about the social so like we know so much about each other's lives from just playing and talking for hours it's really like therapeutic in a way yeah and so like meeting in person is really just like meeting a close friend for the first time like that's the opposite of meeting like family you know like my mom's like this your cousin you guys are best friends I'm like no I don't know who the ████ he is is
14:26 [Laughter] exactly the opposite of that yeah well I don't know where the ████ they I don't give a ████ about the same blood doesn't mean ████ [Music] foreign
