0:00 you know the funny thing is I feel like it would be if he ever came in he like dude I'm feeling great today give me all you got I think we would actually be on our best behavior like a man and we'd be all suspicious we like why did he say that if he's like I'm hanging by a thread guys I think we would still be like here's some microscopic [Laughter] [Music] scissors welcome back to careful boys today we're talking about how we think J K will end oh wow I never even thought of it like that predictions predictions um I don't think it'll end with cancellation in the way that some people might think I don't think we are the Cockroaches of YouTube cool and we've been cancelled so many times I don't
0:50 think it'll end like that and we we can we can survive an apocalypse I think where it will end is when everybody else starts to be so consumed with other priorities where even if they want to be here they can't that makes sense so it's out of out of necessity because it's just Steve is a multi- woo millionaire and then he's getting he's doing all these talks and you guys like guys I can just never Key address an's opening up one after other car lots cuz now EV is hot and they need to get the kjas to do the carlot grand openings he can guys I can't be here Nick is now U Jitsu fcking Master opening up 10 schools and doing grand openings with he's opening 20 MCD Dojo giving away you don't think Anthony will stop coming just cuz he don't want to be here Anthony it's way more like
1:43 he's like ████ you guys it's fuing close close how close getting there how many vids how many vids 80 vids left you got 80 BS three vids to go I was thinking about it we should have like a visual meter for his patients that the fans can oh like you know like Street Fighter with your life force where is it at put number of videos that he could do I say he's got 80 videos left I say like 30 dude dude that's so so little that's like four days no we should we should really have something where he can go back there and add some like color to the bar whenever he's like going through it so we can go oh ████ that really no no come on please please what I said he like erases an O A Zero from the amount of numb patience me it's like a fundraiser you know when people do that for all of our sakes I just clock out sometimes I think I think Anthony TR secretly loves it though he he also stop it with that dominatrix
2:34 nonsense I think I think I think it's a pain ████ I think yeah he's a he likes to be financially dominated we' said this we've said this on the channel many times okay okay okay I I I open car lots whatever move on wait what if what if every time you have a fun video like when like when we're when we're going to do like wood today we're going to do wood and W not today wood or and you you have so much fun that you go add videos yeah oh so it goes like this goes like this it's always changing yeah he's like plus five I'll be very honest we should do whiteboard in the B and there are times when we lift you up like that and you feel like hey you guys like me and then you put it on and then Steve slams it down and then you add it back yeah the only thing I'm afraid of if there's a visual meter for you guys you're going to just push it to the Red Zone every time but we'll pull it back we'll pull
3:24 it back but but if it goes all the way red then you're going to you're leaving yeah and then we get Red Zone Red Zone you let it oh oh we got this much to spare what would be good is like on on the beginning of the day you start in like far right right close to the end already so we're like uh oh we got to be in our best behavior to get Anthony back right and then sometimes after lunch he might be far on the other end that's great you should walk in and just slam your back down be like guys I'm having a pretty rough day all right take it easy on me so it starts there like yesterday you can't you you woke up at 4:00 a.m. or whatever right tired so yeah to add life we got to add life up yeah so then we already know we're like oh this isn't the pr guys no this is way better honestly this is way better other days you might come in and just like Max it out yell and be like give me all you got Give Me Your Best Shot boys yeah my helf
4:16 confidence is so high right now yeah like Anthony threshold video is better than when is JK going to end test me well that's that's one in the same though I think it is cuz he is JK if he leaves it's like going to kill the fun cuz's you know the funny thing is I feel like it would be if he ever came in he like dude I'm feeling great today give me all you got I think we would actually be on our best behavior like a man why are you feeling so good today God damn it we'd be all suspicious for like let did he say that but if he's like if he's like I'm hanging by a thread guys I think we would still be like here's some microscopic scissors how much can we unravel This Thread but keep it intact a little bit I got a question for you guys um do you think
5:07 you can age out of this like does it feel like something where you're like oh this is something you do when you're younger or whatever and then you know it's not kind of for me cuz for certain YouTube content I feel like I aged out of I don't really see myself going back to doing certain videos I did before yeah like uncle said I'm go J I actually might oh ████ okay never mind like what like what stuff what stuff like Street pranks and stuff like that I don't really see myself going to universities and like you know simple pickups do fun yeah like random street yeah man on the street stuff I don't think if you did simple pickup now as a married man that'd be funny your whole premise is like you're not trying to tell them that you're married that's funny I think that'd be good just a side idea yeah that would be hilarious pick up on girls while you're married there he's a guy that does that really ah never mind there's guys that do that without trying to be on camera so true
5:58 fact that's a real problem problem in our world actually but I think yeah I was do you guys think you can age out of it like cuz I can actually see myself honest answer all the way honest I think we're meant to age out of this I think we were supposed to find people that could catch this Essence and carry it on and then eventually people don't lose it when we've aged out so like SNL right yeah like everything I see I think everything's meant to die with you it's just like will the next generation of it like still have a remainder of that there's also something too about like you know how like Dr Phils on TV like is long as we've been alive basically I want like like I wonder if he ever felt like am I going to age out of this or whatever cuz it's almost like the same problems will always exist and I think there's the same problem will always exist of people trying to relate to other people but and I also think it's the uh what is it called the whole package you know how sometimes you have
6:49 like that host that's like that's that's done this thing and then they're like one and the same and then when they leave they're like dude I ████ checked out 10 years ago but then 30 million a year was so ████ good so I feel like there's also that too where you it's like if it's just pure P passion pure art um you don't it it's different than the whole enchilada I guess well we're definitely not doing it for the money I think that's a different I think it's also like your fans grow up with you yeah that too so like you know to even like a do Phil reference or whatever like with what we're doing it's not age dependent yeah like it the the only thing that's different un theye out well the difference is and when we see it with our fans too that like watched us when they were in high school now they're they have children or whatever but also because we're getting getting older too
7:39 we're not talking about high school problems as much we're talking about like problems as adults so maybe when we're like all going through retirement we're talking about the problems with retirement we don't have social security but like those fans that followed back then or like that age demographic that latches on is that why the viewership goes like this yeah yeah yeah because people are dying that's natural though they're not aging out just for example like dance or sports right there's clearly an age out for that whereas like what we're doing in terms of just having conversations at the end of the day that doesn't like like Steve says it's just like people I think you you bring up a good point about everyone growing with us and we're moving as like this because our conversations change and then they are aging with us so they want to hear the same things about kids about family all that stuff I can see us not age out
8:29 but maybe like what the word like tire out mood out so like George Carlin was like traditionally funny yeah that's right and then his last stuff just seemed like a angry man but it's still comedy but angry like a lecturer yeah like a lecturer so I can see like the talks might change but the or Vibe out people are like oh you guys used to be like Jim Carrey and then if you look at Jim Carrey now he's actually very cynical and you're like oh ████ you're way different than dumb and dum yeah cuz we went from clown to rightwing extremist so I see like like people also Vibe out later you know I could see that happening but then Jin car's in Sonic the Hedgehog and I'm kind of like there he is he's back with enough money yeah you still get him exactly I kind of think it's more like um our our thing is like Howard Stern like he's still ████ doing his thing right or like
9:20 and it's just conversations really if you think about it and being honest yeah about your life if you think of what the core is but his guests are still people of now he's not interviewing the people that he knew back then I think that's the difference true there's like a fresh there so there does need to be the integration of today's world yeah we need we need to have a more intentional version of that if we keep it going cuz like think about Joe Rogan he's in his 50s right but then like he speaks to from gen Z all the way to like senior citizens yeah because of the guests he has the brand new he also leads it by at least I've heard him say he leads it by his own personal interest like if he has like he can go from like talking to the Rock which I didn't even listen to cuz I don't care but like cuz you know what I mean but you didn't really want to listen to that interview right like what he going to say he talks to like that guy um hedgcock or Graham hanock or the
10:10 alien guy this is fascinating ████ you know and like that guy would never be allowed anywhere to talk to anybody and Joe Rogan's like I just find him really interesting in this topic but he platforms all of these extremists yeah he just wants who he wants whatever he talked to a wolf expert and I was like what the ████ is this couldn't stop listening to that I watched like four seasons of ancient alien dude like it's fun as as a follower or listener of like Rogan podcast though you would hope that he goes on for as long as you like to listen that's true that's true especially with the fun guests you're like oh I wish he keeps bringing on these these these different variety of guests he used to have Alex Jones on way more that ████ cracks me up Alex Jones is probably one of the funniest guys that people don't get I know he's kills me he's really good selling gay frog dude it's the best ads are you know what it also is too is that uh like for our
11:01 system we only have guests that typically somebody here personally knows them in some way so it's easy to have them they we know they're not going to take something the wrong way the the less I guess like life you live outside of here the less people you're going to meet that you're like you should come out of JK you should come out of JK the more that you know like we're not like kids we're like we going into every social event that somebody in the community throws you know what I mean and at that point you're networking like you don't even know you're networking and you just know a 100 people every day but it's like now it's like a lot slower so like very rarely will I meet somebody that I'm like hey you should come on you know what I mean most of the people are people have known a long time so we're also in that world it's also like whoever's already in your circle yeah we don't socialize like the way that we used to like when we were like in our 20s and ████ I kind of think that lockdown ruined that for a lot of us
11:52 like I didn't go right back to how I used to socialize and I don't know if it's a age thing but I think it's a routine thing for me at least interesting yeah cuz I never really did the networking events but I did just know a bunch of friend groups and yeah I don't know maybe um it's probably both yeah maybe it is both right cuz you have more time when you're younger to hang and then the when we when you get like into family building then that's when a lot of people in general stop meeting new people and you have your set set friends yeah yeah you also Bond differently with people at this age you know it's not like when you're like younger you guys go do crazy ass ████ and you're best friends that night you know what I mean like it's a lot different now you know what' be an interesting analysis is uh what Joe Rogan would Age out of first his standup comedy or his podcast I think he'll always do his podcast on his podcast he
12:43 doesn't because on podcast he doesn't try to be funny right so conversations will always be conversations But Here There is a certain note we're trying to hit yeah and then so I think that's like another interesting thing I think eventually if you want to do the longevity thing it' probably have to dial that down down and be more conversational cuz that's what's actually Evergreen yeah he's still funny on his podcast but it's not the same as like doing stand he's not trying to be funny if it's a funny moment it's a funny moment I feel like we hit conversation more than we hit like needing to hit a certain note I I when it's working the best I think we do when it working the best it's a it's like a there's a certain blend of all of it I know what you're talking about but if we're doing like 50 sad videos even though they're all really heartfelt don't point to me he's a sad it won't be just kidding news anymore you know they'll be like that's just sad news just sad that might that might be part
13:33 of the discussion then why does it have to be just kidding news if that's a number that's steadily going down sad news is kind of tight yeah be just sad news not that it has to be but like the essence of like oh we're it's losing JK news or like the logo hasn't changed when we had Andy Newan in here and we asked him like what would you do for a dying Channel like us as a joke he had a very straightforward response which just like Rebrand yeah but we didn't really do that but we kept everything same like what's the value of like keeping everything so carefully the same if like it's not paying out that's that's where the we need to evolve I guess right yep broke his chair see we got to we got to evolve man that thing falling apart here no it's my choice my choice well New Life chairs my choice I think I think if you the real answer for how JK is going to die I think it's going to die because it never evolved I think my real answer it's a sad answer it's a sad answer because I think that's that's the
14:23 hardest thing to do I think like everything else is mad easy cuz that's like every brand right Blockbuster toys greater greater companies have died like what CU even brands that keep like and they survive they have the same name but then they reinvent themselves frequently so it's like it's it's yeah I do agree with that like how fast logos change in corporations is like so often like in your lifetime you've seen how many different coca-colas how many different Pizza brought the logo back Pizza I mean when Taco Bell went purple well see we can't even benefit from bringing something back as much as you know like we probably could you know like I saw the Batman design sheet I didn't know there's been like ████ 30 different bat logos crazy I thought it was like I thought it was like three of them super I was like holy ████ I think that's the hardest thing to figure out like exactly
15:13 in what way can you evolve that it doesn't completely compromise the reason why you even do it so you know what I mean like you know what I mean cuz then you never want to feel like a sellout either like this video might do hella good but you're like cuz like one of the things early on that me and Jo Joe viral for was this stupid ass parody video we did we're just dressed up in diapers cuz these crazy babies and then and then a lot of the coms make more of these make more like dude are you serious it was like it hit like 800k in one day ████ and then we like ████ spend 3 weeks we didn't want to be known for that we're just having fun but we spent 3 weeks writing like another script that we're actually really proud of and then you're like ████ we got to do more of these ones God damn it I think we're close to finding The Sweet Spot of it I think the more we do this and the more we like small changes here and there think that's how we get I also
16:05 think um having been in the game for so ████ long and seeing other people do ████ like one of the people that survived the longest literally I think is Phil Phil def Franco so ████ and what he did I saw it a million times he kept on making new channels like new brand new channels right he would do the same thing on a new channel because I think he got wise to the fact that the algorithm sometimes freezes out channels and like blocks your lanes a little bit wow and so fresh channels get boosted more in the algorithm so he doesn't post on his original Phil the Franco show anymore I think he well he moved it a bunch of times he did yeah SE right he rebranded it he also started that that um one group thing with Joe Beretta right where they were all like talking a white with a white psych behind them yeah like that he did all that stuff and
16:55 then kept on move kept on like kept it moving that way I think you're I mean your guys's like more permanent addition was the actual Rebrand and the careful boys was the Rebrand but the format didn't change much and I think there was a time when the news format was really ████ good and and it was working great for us because CNN and all the actual news channels weren't on there so there was a term called newsjacking back then and newsjacking was like you get a headline and everyone's searching for this headline online right so a lot of YouTubers that's when like Young Turks and all these guys came up really hard same with def Franco because they would be looking for these current events that went down and that's when JK news really popped off is because um we will be at the top of the search you know engine but then afterwards when the algorithm and all these things changed we kept the
17:45 format but we didn't evolve and do anything different to ride a different uh uh kind of wave yeah yeah and I think like we could have kept the same thing but like pivoted to podcasts or something like that or gone to hourong conversations long form yeah basically where this seems to be going cuz we're doing less articles and more long form now and people like the otrs more than the Articles right well I think it's cuz you don't have I think you you're they like the flow you know and nobody gives a ████ about like random chick who like dressed up as a diaper lady in like the UK and hid in a shed for like 13 hours you know it's like random stuff it's interesting but at the end of the day they just want to hear like real stories interesting stuff or crack up every time that I yeah that we're having the most fun I think it's about stuff like that and not and less
18:35 about the lady who dressed with a diaper and when do a ████ we just use that as a jump off but I think when people are telling interesting stories or creating good hypotheticals or whatever that actually is the most engaging yeah why don't you guys let us know you know what keeps you guys around what kind of videos you like the most I think it's cool cuz we always want to keep evolving and we don't want to die out we don't want to die sound so you sound so past dead put the meter up where are we at an Anthony's patience meter is a funny
