0:05 Welcome back to another episode of Careful Boys. We have social media expert Nick Don with us. >> Woohoo! Back again. Social media expert. >> These are all backhanded compliments. >> We're going to have Nick a professionally react to this clip that's been going around. Um it I feel like not a lot of things have been this viral in a minute, but I can't stop getting this freaking video on my feed. >> It's like almost they're pushing it on us. >> Yeah. Oh my god, this one? He said his wife is up for grabs. Ooh! That'll good fall through. He went like that.

0:55 He fell down from a slap. That's a big body. That's Larry Wheels, though. It looked like he was nice about the slap, too. Did you see the other ones? There's like Yeah, we'll get we'll get to him. We'll get to him. Yeah, man. What do you think of that, Nick? He said his wife is up for grabs. >> Yeah. That's what he's saying. Does he just do rage bait stuff? Because all I see I saw this and then I saw Yeah, I saw this one and I'm like is He just likes to say things to get on other people's skin. Apparently what he was doing was this is what I I had to look into this cuz I was like, why is he going around after this? Apparently he was drunk. And he was talking all this ████ right? >> of scenes? Yeah, so the first slap happened and then after the slap

1:45 happened, he started instigating fights with people cuz he was pissed. Like he wanted to fight and ████ All right. So then brings us to this segment right here. >> [laughter] >> Oh, why they blur it? I don't know. >> [screaming] >> I don't know why it's blurred, but well, it was a nice one. Threw an elbow over the top and it just dropped him. A lot of people are saying it's staged though. What do you think, social media expert Nick? I at this point any that ████ is all up for grabs. Like it could definitely be cuz Rampage is getting so many views. He makes so much money. Tiki is his manager. And he's a manager for a lot of MMA fighters. >> former former MMA fighter, too.

2:36 >> UFC fighter. That's the guy that just punched the dude, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, it could be a way for them to get views because obviously everyone's talking about this and everybody has an opinion and it is like satisfying to see a guy who's talking all the ████ A lot of people didn't know the guy that's getting slapped. Like no one really knew him. We I used to we used to watch him cuz he used to go to like the hood and start boxing dudes. And like he was like me and David would watch his videos all the time. He's like, "Bro, you watch this dude?" He's a he's a good boxer. Is he a pro boxer or what? He he fights for like misfits and he does all like the the influencer boxing stuff. So, like he's got hands, bro, you know? But he you know is hanging out with all these influencers and then the whole like Larry Wheels wife stuff is also viral. You know, that's going crazy. So, they just like double down on it. Cuz the first clips I saw of this was way earlier on in the stream where him and

3:27 like Larry Wheels were like wrestling or doing whatever and then like punching each other. Cuz you know like the whole like size don't matter type thing. He was trying to prove that. Yeah. And then so he socked Larry Wheels in the stomach. Larry Wheels pretty much like did nothing and Larry Wheels socks him in the stomach and he flies back. But then when he flies back, it looked like he sold it. >> Yeah. Like we're like they're shooting an action movie. So, the whole like uh interaction I was like, I don't know if it's real or not. >> Yeah. And then he tries to like then they have like a whole wrestling segment and I'm like oh you could tell this guy don't wrestle or grapple or do jiu-jitsu or any of that stuff. And then so I'm like I don't know if they're really trying to prove that point. Cuz I think if they're really trying to prove that point where size doesn't matter you would want to see like Larry wrestle with you know who was that take me down a thousand dollars >> Giorgio. Giorgio. Yeah. If you had Larry Wheels wrestle him I think that would be like okay does size matter or not. Cuz

4:17 that guy actually wrestle wrestles but >> Yeah. Yeah I don't know. I think it's staged. The whole thing? >> that if there's anything that's staged it's probably the ████ elbow. The elbow the elbow he hits him with it's like down so you can't see when the camera yeah yeah yeah. So this is it. There's a moment where he goes yeah Nadim is my manager. Oh he's your manager? [laughter] He goes Nadim is my manager. He's like you don't you know Nadim and he's like oh I don't know Nadim. Nadim is Yeah cuz I think Nadim is managing people. Nadim is his manager? >> know he managed him cuz Oh I didn't know that either. >> Nadim manages a gang of like high social media guys. >> yeah. He's the man. Are Nadim? Yeah I think pretty sure. Not even all disrespectful ████ but I don't like you at all though.

5:10 Are you the guy that got slapped on video? >> I did but I'll slap the ████ out of you though. Leroy Jones. No I'll put you I'll make you another clip. I'll do that. Seriously? I'll do that. Hi. Come on. Okay. So you look at it's it's it's You can't even see Cuz you can't see what? You can't see the fight that went on after. I don't think it doesn't look like much of a fight went on they were getting broken up. >> It looked like he was walking away and he was punched him in the back and then he didn't feel anything. >> [laughter] >> Cuz cuz the thing about the size argument is like you have to be within a certain there's a happy medium for the size argument. Like you can't be too small against a guy like Tiki who's ████ like He's like 250, you know, like >> to the point where he's where the people that are socking him are in on it? >> Yeah. Oh. landed type of thing? I think

6:02 so. Like hey, I'm going to talk some ████ then you're going to sock me up or whatever. >> He's a manager. Like all these guys, they're career people. They're not like stupid kids at a party, but they're playing that like oh, look at this ████ annoying piece of ████ at a party. I'm a I'm going to smack him around real quick. Cameras are on. Like he could actually sue him for assault and all that ████ but there's probably like a we're going to ████ do this and I'm not going to sue you and then, you know. Wow. I think so because look at how much benefit they got and he got ████ up three times that day. I wonder if that's good for his brand or not. I don't think it is. Cuz if he's if he's a boxer and he's trying to make it, I wonder if that's good for his brand to like get socked up by everybody. I think the the attention is what's good for everyone's brand. So like If this is real, I'd be like Tiki, bro, you can't be elbowing guys in the face like that.

6:52 >> [laughter] >> Even if he's a ████ being a piece of ████ you got to like walk away cuz that's a bad look. I don't know much about him. I don't It's not that I like like him or not. It's just like dude, you just elbowed the ████ out of that guy. >> [laughter] >> Like it's just It's just a bad look. Like you're just But if you work in entertainment though, right? And then like the game is attention. They're actually doing their job. So like if this was some unrelated thing, let's say like they work at a nonprofit organization and it's a ████ charity event. Yeah, I don't know. Like I I don't think it's I wouldn't think it's staged, you know, but I think they're streaming. They're fighters. But you know, when fighters get around like this and they're drinking, ████ like this happens all the time. Where it's like oh, like you said something to me cuz this dude

7:42 is mad. His ego's hurt. That's what it really is. So, this guy's going around There was a clip I saw a clip of him talking to some random guy. And he's like, "I'll beat your ass." And the guy's like, "Oh, okay. All right. Well, hey, I'm just here to have fun." And he's like, "I'll beat your ████ ass." >> Oh, that white guy? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's like, "Oh, all right then. Okay, see you later, dude." And then he just leaves, right? And then he just going around this kid, Dean the Great, just keeps going around. And apparently the story is he was mad that he got slapped. >> trying He's like trying to punk all these nice people. Yeah. And then he he picked the wrong dude who just elbowed him in the head. >> another clip. I think it was Quinton Jackson he was trying to like make him feel better. He's like, "Hey, man, sorry you got slapped. You can slap me." And I'll say, "I'll take half the shame." And he goes, "No, I'm not going to slap you." And he goes, "No, you go ahead, you slap me." And he goes, "If I slap you, you don't punch ME BACK?" >> [laughter] >> IT'S JUST IT'S JUST WEIRD BEHAVIOR.

8:32 And like, you can tell this dude when he's talking, there's the Dean the Great kid, he's like he's so drunk he can't understand what the ████ is happening. He's like, "Nah, bro, you got to rub me my fade. You got to rub me my fade. Like, you slap me in the head." And And then he's like, "No, you guys aren't going to fight." And he's like, "I want to fight." He just keeps You know, like drunk guy behavior. Type in Dean uh Larry Wheels like wrestle or something. Maybe if that pops up. >> That dude just picks him up and just throws him >> Wheels, if you guys don't know, um he's like super big in the fitness industry and he's probably one of the top five strongest people to have ever walked this earth. Yeah. So, he's like he's incredibly strong. Hey, what you doing, bro? >> [laughter] >> See stuff like this, it does feel staged, you know? >> Oh. Like this seems like something I would do. >> This seems like the hanging with the

9:22 boys. >> This is what I would do, you know? Like if if I was with some like >> [laughter] >> massive dude, I would just ████ around, like Yeah, I guess that's true if you watch like the incrementing like Yeah. how they're just going towards that. Because I'm like, if you are really trying to set up does size matter? I don't feel like you would play games like that. But also, it is entertaining to watch, you know? Yeah, it is. Cuz you're like, oh, I see him box. He's a boxer. How is he going to go against one of the strongest people to ever walk this earth? He's just standing there? While they're talking around him? He look like a little kid.

10:26 He's so small compared to him. >> [laughter] >> He's trying to hug the wife? He's trying to be funny, dude. It does seem like they're running this bit. >> Yeah. It's true. I don't know. But also, I feel like in this day and age with like you know, people they like pranks and they like to like get a reaction. You know, just in the like the the age of a tally, right? Like everyone's trying to get a reaction out of something. Like who knows? Yeah, there's also that thing of like I think because you know, we're not streamers, but I I have a feeling that like obviously they know what they're doing and if I think they're directing as they go. And if something [clears throat] feels like it's going to pay off, I think they just have an instinct to like play it up. Yeah, yeah. The camera's on, the game is on. Yeah, exactly. When they were filming with Neon, right? So like before they have the event or party, like the people that were there would say, oh,

11:16 you know, they all come out with contracts. Before we even start filming, he actually goes up to everyone and says, hey, like don't believe everything that I say. I'm just we're just going to freeball this, but like a lot of the stuff that I'm going to do, it's like I'm just trying different things. And then so like people already have the precedence of oh, this is the game. So I'm pretty sure when they're walking into it everyone is notified up front this might happen, it might come over to you, you know. He's stealing your bit, Bart. >> [laughter] >> the neck brace. Yeah, he's stealing your bit. Yeah, so I guess that's true. It's like I feel like even though whether it's staged or not, I think they just they just really are good at what they do. >> Yeah. Cuz then all the people in the

12:06 comments are going I'm sure you're getting crazy donations. >> doesn't need to be staged in a weird way. It's like they kind of all get it. And if something happens they know it's almost like you know how to sell it. Like with wrestling, you know, like WWE. It's like it's a work, you know. This is exactly I've seen so many wrestling storylines like this. >> It is good yeah, it's really good improv. I would say that too, yeah. I would agree. Cuz it could be like maybe it wasn't pre-planned, but they rolled with it. Yeah. And it became the bit. It became the thing. Yeah. Yeah, they're all getting it. And he might just be that good of a sport where he's like yeah, it might make me look silly in the for a bit. Yeah. Someone's got to go full villain. Well, or we could just ask Nadeem. >> [laughter] >> Him Nadeem dropping the deem and he's like I don't know ████ Nadeem. You're like damn, dude. You know Nadeem. Tiki, I know you do.
