0:05 Welcome back to another episode of Careful Boys. Today we have Nick the Ear with us. What up? What up? What up? >> And we also have Mr. Jason Chenny. >> Uh Jason said something really interesting the other day when uh when we were just talking and uh he he had mentioned like what do you think about when people make content out of like helping homeless people? Like is that [laughter] is that like entirely earnest or is it something that can be I guess accredited to oh that's nice because then the revenue they make from these videos of helping homeless people they might be able to help even more or is it just purely like narcissistic like a um look how nice I am. >> I I think it does more good than it does bad. >> Okay, >> that's what I think. It's never >> even if it's for clout. Even as for clout, >> it does remind me >> because Yeah. Because for the people
0:56 watching, the point is probably what I'm thinking of is when I watch that content, it makes me be like, man, I should give a homeless person a dollar. >> Do I do it? We're not talking. [laughter] We're talking about the YouTubers in question. Okay. But it does, and I'm sure that, you know, that that spreads positivity out there. And if he could get views and make money on a channel so he could give more money to more homeless people, that's fine. Okay. >> I think >> what about like what is your I guess when you're thinking of a content that's helping homeless people. What are you thinking of first? Are you thinking of like giving them money, giving them food, giving them a makeover, you know, when they give like haircuts and they make them like look good to go get a job kind of deal? >> I like when they put a string on a bike and they leave it out there and they go free bike and someone
1:46 >> steals it and [laughter] then they prank them. >> Honestly, I think >> at what point do they help them? I think no. Honestly, with that kind of content, I know people like that ████ but I feel so bad every time I watch that. I feel so bad. I don't know why I feel bad for the person, but I feel so bad for >> when the when the when the bicycle seat blows up, like they steal it and then it >> Yeah. Like I like I I get it. I get it. It's like, yeah, you don't want your bike stolen, but part of me feels like, damn, bro. >> The ████ >> I'm [laughter] I'm I'm very cynical, so I see way more negative than positive. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah. So, one, I feel like the whole narcissism egotistical thing where it's like you you're you're the video itself, you're trying to show, oh, look, I'm helping this guy, right? >> Um, but that's your assumption. >> That's like the person like like uh on a wheelchair living his life. He's been living his life like that for 10 years.
2:36 And as soon as you see him, you're like, "Oh, no, no, no. Let me let me help you up." He goes, "Motherfucker, get the ████ off me, dude. I'm trying to go to Subway or whatever." [laughter] But you're like, "Oh, but you don't have legs. I have legs. I don't know how like you're the one viewing like that right now. You're looking at him like the homeless guy. He's like, I'm doing my own ████ legs. >> I just ████ I jacked off in a corner. I ████ shot in that bush. I had a great day so far. Homeless by choice. >> You think they [laughter] would say that? And I'm off the grid, ████ You think they'd be like, "Yo, this day is lit, bro. I got my bindle and everything. That's all I need." >> I used to live on Olympic and Fig, right? There's a homeless guy. He kicks it at the bus stop every day. And you can tell when he had a ████ great date. [laughter] I saw this fool. He was He pulled out his dick. He ████ peed, right? He peed all over. And then he went like this. I was walking my dogs. He pulls out out of his ████ like trench coat
3:27 or what the ████ he was wearing. He opens a six- piece chicken nugget and this ████ steam comes up. >> It's hot. And I'm like, damn, he got a hot ass fresh one. And he goes like this. >> No [clears throat] sauce though, brother. >> Like that. And I was like, and you could just see his face. >> No sauce. That's savage. >> Yeah. Now imagine a ████ guy that just intrudes on his experience. >> Okay. >> Hey, the guy living a s█████ life and there's ████ cameras and ████ He's like, "What the ████ bro? I just ████ got this from McDonald's." So, I feel like there's that that thing where it's like, "I'm my life's better than you and your ████ sucks ass, so I have to go and save you." I feel like there's a little bit of that. And then also the other part is um if you're doing uh a content like that, >> yeah, >> I can't help but feel like you're trying
4:17 to do like, "Hey, look at me." >> Yeah, I agree. I agree with that. But the thing is, you sacrifice one homeless guy [laughter] >> for to for everybody to view and then a a big p some a lot of people see that and go, "Oh, I want to help, too." But then you sacrifice it. >> Everyone does that. >> Well, no, they do. watch the homeless video. Do you go, "Oh ████ >> let right now I'm going to drop everything I'm doing. I'm going to go outside and find the first homeless guy and go do it." No one does. Literally no. Wait, wait, wait. Some people You're >> special few. Some people do. Wait, wait, wait, wait. There's There's this guy the the way he does it is the most wholesome because he will put like uh like what are the the thing called people give money? >> Go find. >> Oh. And then they it goes directly to them and he he does a follow-up video of
5:07 hey look we got him a house do I mean like every person he does it to he he shows like receipts there but then >> that might be good that might be good >> but then some yes most people are not doing it like that but there's small amount of people who maybe go do it one person out of a 100 thousand maybe one not me but but they go but do you think it's still worth it to sacrifice homework I when they ask the question, if they're like, "Hey, um, do you mind if I give you a haircut?" Whatever. And then, you know, during the haircut, you hear their story and then it humanizes them. I like that because >> you give them a chance. I don't like it when you just like >> just drop the scene on them and that guy's just like, >> "What the f███?" Like, he's just ████ like just smelling his ass and he's like, "Wait, what the ████ Why is all these people all up on me
5:57 >> smelling his ass?" So, you're telling me, [laughter] you're telling me, bro, >> if I were to do some content where I go man on the street and I go, "Hey, hey, homeless guy. I know you're down your luck. >> I'll do some jiu-jitsu to give you a free personal training session [laughter] right now. [gasps] You know, I know you're really down your luck. Do you think I could help you out?" They'd be like, "Get the ████ out of here." No, but in general, >> yeah, dude, >> would you do that? Would you do that though? Why would they want to do a workout? >> Okay, dude. When I lived on Olympics, there's a homeless guy. He He's We have a light post right in front of my house. or where I lived. This guy was sleeping on his light post. That's where he's posted up every ████ night. He has like sleeping bags and ████ like this. I see a van pull up next to him. This guy gets out with bags like from Target, you know, has like the red circle. He shows it to him. Bunch of fresh towels in there, brand new. He goes like this. The homeless guy goes like this, sifts
6:48 through it, going back to I'm like like they have their own life. >> That's true. You know, they have their own life, their own wants, their own needs, their own goals. It might not be like our financial goals or whatever. >> But don't you think the gesture is nice, though? The gesture of the fact that this dude was going around trying to offer. >> No, because that guy was sleeping. >> Okay. >> He was sleeping and the guy pulled up because he thought his life was better than his and he had to go like this and he's like, "Oh ████ what the f███?" >> You know, >> what is a person? [laughter] >> But what what is cynical take? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's so sad. >> I think people are living their own lives >> and then the people that are like doing the content, >> they're just straight intruding. That's why I like how they ask a question. Hey, Mr. I don't I don't mean to bug you, but would you like to have a free haircut? I think that's different than just boom, lights, camera, action. You're on
7:39 YouTube. And then >> that's especially funny if they wanted to be off- grid and then they end up viral. [laughter] >> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. >> But it is crazy to There are some guys that they'll ask them like, "How did you end up on like on the streets? Like, what happened?" I kind of like those a little bit more cuz the people are talking about like their story or whatever and then you know he decides to help them out or whatever >> cuz now it's about him not about me. Look at this dollar I'm going to get. [laughter] >> Yeah. >> I don't like the ones where the guy sets up the tripod and then he like films himself talking to the homeless guy. I don't really like those ones. >> Jason loves those though. >> Yeah, those are his favorite. >> I've been going down this um what I like is this guy. He goes keeping the homeless in the streets and he'll just come up with a ████ box full of cigarettes AND JUST GIVING IT or like he has bottles of just vodka and he's just had and you I've never seen a homeless
8:30 person smile harder. See now he's speaking their language. >> They're like wow right and I'm like that ████ is actually way more impactful than ████ hey we're going to give you a place to stay in a,000 bucks new clothes and a job. And you see their face going a job [laughter] a well ████ I guess [laughter] it's like no dude give him the give him the ████ alcohol like and then every this guy he goes around right it's it's got that ████ um Drake song like God's plan. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. [laughter] >> The background. And he shows up, he gives him like machetes. Like he's got one where he's just handing ████ machete. >> Brand new machetes to all the homeless people. [laughter] >> What? >> Who is this guy? It's hilarious, bro. >> It's illegal, I think. And the smiles on
9:22 their faces. They're like, "Oh." And then they get the knife. They're like, "Oh, yeah." They're like, "Stay safe on the streets, bro." >> He's like, "Be safe. Be safe." And he's giving them all machetes. And he gives it to one guy and he goes, and you can see him go >> like he knew who he was going to kill. >> Yeah, bro. [laughter] Yeah. >> He'll just have a line of homeless people like they're just cracked out like hanging out at the park, right? You'll see a big puddle of them and he just rolls up and he just starts like giving them booze one after the other. And I ████ you not, I've never seen such happy people in my life. Like it felt like a ████ toddler at a birthday party and like everyone's getting free ████ candy. >> That's pouring gasoline, brother. Not only that, >> but you're speaking that you're >> that's real community service. >> I want to be like they're like, "Oh, look how look how good I am. I'm going to go to this kindergarten, give
10:13 everyone homework, and they're going to be so happy about, you [laughter] know, >> but there is something like that is true though. When you watch those guys that give back to the homeless community, there's always a thousand% every time you watch it, there's always a sense of you that goes, I feel a little icky about this." You know, no matter what happens, Yeah. >> Whole tagline is keeping the homeless in the streets. [laughter] >> It's not getting them. >> And and the funny thing is they're rainb brand deals. [laughter] So as he's doing it, he pulls up his rain bet. He's like, "We're going up, baby." >> Yo, we got to get a rainb brand deal, dude. [laughter] But I think also a thing that that feels weird when you see independent homeless help content is that like there are a lot of programs already in place like that the that your taxes pay for, right? and they're always looking for volunteers and they can never get enough
11:04 people to help with these things. But then you have so many people going off on their own and doing their own brand and their own version >> like machetes for the homeless. >> Like machetes [snorts] for the homeless. Yeah. But at the same time like like you know there's wholeies in in Skid Row that that need people to help but there's nobody you know >> my neighbor my neighbor ████ houses homeless people. >> Your what? >> My neighbor. >> Yeah. >> And I thought it was going to be a disaster but he's got it under control. So [laughter] >> they're cleaning up. >> That's crazy, dude. >> Um they look better than what they first did. >> He's like ████ rehabbing them and mentoring them and ████ >> Wow. >> So I'm like, "All right, you know, this guy's going to heaven for sure." >> I think that's the funny part is that like if >> he ain't doing it for clout either. >> Yeah. Like if you're so if if if you you want the clout so bad or you want to help homeless people so badly but then you've never volunteered at any of the
11:54 ones that are asking for like people to like come and like help at the soup kitchen or something, but you're like ah no one's going to see me doing it there though, >> you know? It's like I don't know, man. >> I can't spread awareness when I'm ████ doing the labor. I'm the marketing guy. [laughter] >> It's like that question how they're like oh if you're so for how like immigrants coming in like why don't you house some >> right? Like how many people are actually going to do that? Like how many people are actually going to be like, "I got extra rooms. Why don't you know these homeless folks?" >> I know we all we all did with our aunties and uncles and cousins and stuff. [laughter] >> They're kind of homeless. Yeah. Those homeless content creators, they should do that. >> Go to where they just immigrated and go, "Hey, let's I'm going to bring this guy into my house and then do content like that." That'd be pretty cool. >> Day in the life content. Yeah, that' be good. Then watch it.
