0:05 Welcome back to an episode of Careful Boys. Uh, today we're going to go ahead and hear from Mr. Jason Chenny who has a highly intelligent question to ask us. >> You can't say highly. >> So smart. I don't even know if we'll understand it the first time. >> Yeah. You're using all these three syllable words. So, you have to use those same three syllable words. >> Yeah. >> All right. Um, so what I was thinking about is >> Yes. As I was contemplating, [laughter] what does contemplating mean? Um, it means it's like modern. >> So like [laughter] temporary planing. >> What does modern mean? [laughter] Um, >> like a beautiful girl. >> Oh, what a beautiful. Um I [snorts] was thinking about oh when if

0:55 like a business or like a athlete or whoever is at a very high level and very famous and very successful whether it be power or monetary or political just do you think everybody at that level will always have like not a downfall but maybe like um like a big scrutiny you know >> or like a scandal or or SC or no or like a dark thing like >> Oh, okay. Is there a dark side to the success? >> Yeah, dark side to the success or >> what do you mean that's a dumb question? IT'S A GOOD QUESTION. [laughter] >> THAT'S WHAT THE ████ I'm trying to say. >> Yeah, >> that's not a dumb question. Like if you took any person that was highly successful, if you if you dig deep enough, are you going to find something evil? >> Yeah. The evil or like just like a big sacrifice? Because you know >> Oh, a sacrifice. >> Yeah. the big sacrifice or like or or

1:46 just like a dark thing because I feel like a lot of like dark things that's the part I'm being confused on cuz it seemed like is there do they have like skeletons in their closet >> or like black people in the closet? >> Yeah. Or like black people in the closet or is it or is it like or you're just saying sacrifice like what what are you talking about? You know, honestly, when I was asking this question, I wasn't sure what my question was, but I just know that I I'm like, "Oh, I'm interested in this area because because maybe I'm just trying to ask like um yeah, because I've >> Okay, I I understand your question >> because I feel like whoever is very successful, they at one point people always um like I don't know like Justin Bieber or whoever, they go, "Oh, but he did this like he did drugs or he crashed cars." >> Are you saying like a bad thing I like that you did? >> Yeah. Like like something >> do you think everybody who's successful has that like whoever is it? Do you know

2:37 what I'm talking about? Like like something that people go, "Oh, but he's ████ this guy." >> Oh, but he like >> Yeah, but there's only like eats kids. >> Yeah, but Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or or not not that crazy. >> Oh, I misunderstood them. >> Everyone that gets to a certain level, >> do they have like a evil side or non non-preferred side like that? >> Non-preferred non-preferred side that Yeah. >> Like like did they have to screw someone over to get there? Okay. >> Yeah, I get it. >> But I feel like whenever people do that, I I I'm always kind of like >> Yeah, but like >> Well, you know, here's the that's the interesting thing about that. >> Oh, oh, sorry, sorry. Can I say real quickly? Like Conor Conor McGregor, he's like so successful and then people are like, "Oh, but you ████ did drugs and you did this." But it's like, bro, yeah, he's a human being. He do whatever the ████ you want. >> That's the part that I think is really interesting. It's subjective. So, let's say that you let's say for yourself,

3:28 right? If if if you got to the top of where you wanted to be and you think you did a pretty decent job of it, someone else might not. Someone else might think that you screwed them over to get there >> in a way that you don't disagree with. Like you don't you don't agree with them. >> You know, like um maybe like you had a guy that thought you were going to be a comedy duo, but you decided to go solo and for the rest of his life he goes, "Jason Channy's a piece of s███." Because he abandoned our project. He got to the top over something negative like leaving me. You know what I mean? I think like no matter who you look at, somebody in their life thinks that they screwed them over to get there. >> Even if they didn't, it's hard to tell. >> Do you think that all people who's achieved a lot [snorts] should be a good role model? >> But that's what I'm saying. I think we that my point is that like people like Conor McGregor or whoever that did or

4:20 Gandhi or whoever that is >> Oh, Gandhi had some No, but I'm asking you though, >> how do you feel about >> how do you feel about like if this guy's the best basketball player, Kobe number one, >> but then he likes to ████ cheat on his wife all day long or whatever. >> Whatever your thing is, I'm like this is just a human being and he did whatever he did to to get there. But when people scrutinize, they go, "Oh, but you ████ did this thing." Yeah, but he he's a guy, too. There's people who are not successful doing crazy ████ >> But it's like that's >> why can't you accept a person that is >> I think people shouldn't put someone on a pedestal >> unless they're trying to be a pastor. Like if that's your thing, like if you're the embodiment of like I'm going to live >> moralitywise. >> Yeah. But behind like the like if I'm gonna live like as Jesus did and this is my persona, then I'm like, "Okay, that's

5:10 who you are." But if you're Kobe and then you're just making a lot of shots for your team and that's what you're known for and you ████ win it for your team, why the ████ does it matter if he does anything else besides that? That's his thing. But even if Jesus But even if the pastor guy if he sinned or did a ████ ████ then I'm like [laughter] but but I'm still like yeah but you sinned. And I think that's a beautiful example to be like I'm a pastor but I ████ up and I would take whatever redeem and pastors should be >> because he's this guy's a human and are you not going to be forgiven? I think >> I think it's the hypocrisy that I'm against. So like so like if co Kobe never went up there and told everybody that I'm a loyal husband and follow in my footsteps >> follow me but a past championships that

6:01 is um lying to his >> members. Oh so truth truth is okay >> to me it's like >> well that's cuz he's supposed to be a leader of morality. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Where whereas like okay so like let's say a a guitarist right like Van Halen or whatever he's like and then or or and Justin Bieber he's singing music whatever right it's like why does it ████ matter if he got into a car crash and it was his fault that's how I feel >> it was like so >> yeah but my thing >> let him sing songs >> what about Conor McGregor like >> he's a fighter let him ████ fight people was he a great fighter >> I also think though like when you ask uh do people at the top if they have a dark side. >> I feel like more often than not they do. >> Cuz I feel like in order to tap into that level of success and to climb like

6:52 like let's say both the literal Mount Everest and the metaphorical, >> you need to have a way different person. >> So of course like Kobe's going to ████ ████ on the side because he's in this Genghaskhan state, right? I'm here to ████ rule this whole NBA thing. And for Kobe to be Kobe, this Genghaskhan had to destroy 12 other Genghaskhans who thought they were Genghaskhan, too. Just like Connor, Connor had to kill like 50 other Connors who thought they were Connors, right? So, if you're the Connor of the Connor of the Connor, of course, you're going to smoke coke and ████ and ████ ████ on the side. >> But that's when Yeah. And but is when people go like, "Oh, Connor is like he sucks." Or >> you're saying, "Why does it diminish the accomplishment?" >> Yeah. I don't like when people say like, "Oh, but he sucks because he's not good anymore." It's like, "Bro, but did you see what the ████ he did, though?"

7:43 >> And then the business. >> Yeah. It doesn't take away from it. I think people are examine examining it with their ████ C++ brain. >> But most people are like that though. They >> most people are C++ brain. >> Most people that is majority >> going to understand like what? They're not going to understand why this person with the A+ brain is doing this ████ cuz your brain is C. Like you don't have ████ lining out the door trying to suck your dick. Of course, you're going to be loyal to your ████ wife. This is why I think judging sucks. Like you shouldn't judge at all because like it's fun to as a joke, but in reality is most people are not tested to even be able to judge. Like your your mention to Kobe like he has just lines of women trying to like save the ████ in this in the ████ condom so they could get pregnant. Like they'll just suck in a heartbeat, right? Like no man >> has that opportunity. They're never tested. It's like a wimp going like,

8:34 "Man, I'm nonviolence. I take the path of no violence." It's like, >> you take that path cuz you're weak. >> You've never fought. >> Absent teens that are dorks. >> Yeah. It's You're absent cuz you don't even have a chance. >> Yeah. >> Now, yeah. You're not faced with the opportunity daily. >> But if a Navy Seal or Conor McGregor goes, you know what? I'm going to take the high road and I'm not going to beat your ass. Then you go, "What a good man." >> Cuz he has the capability to ████ beat your ass. Yeah, >> but you choose not to let your anger win, >> right? >> There's a guy, I don't know, like ████ DiCaprio. Today, I am not going to ████ a 25-year-old cuz she's a little too old, you know? Like, if he chooses to restrain himself, she he's like, I'm not going to ████ her today. >> Exactly. >> Because I'm I'm I'm going to practice restraint. Then it's like, good job. I

9:24 look up to your strength. But if a ████ incel nerd that's a basement dweller that smells like hot Cheetos goes, "Today I'm not going to f███." You know, there's nobody trying to ████ me. >> ████ Who's trying to ████ you? No. >> No. He's never tested. That's why it's easy for them to go, I I'm a loyal husband cuz I would have never done that. But it's like you've never had the opportunity. >> That's true. Yeah. >> It's like I'm going to stick to my diet today. I'm like, yeah, cuz you don't got food to eat. >> Yeah. YOU DON'T HAVE OPTIONS. YOU DON'T HAVE THE OPTION to sin. You ever seen You ever seen >> The ████ are you talking about? >> Have you seen Jersey Boys? >> The musical? >> Yeah. >> No. >> So, in Jersey Boys, the lead singer, Frankie Valley, goes through his life story. He cheats on his wife basically this whole thing. Has a girlfriend on the side. All this ████ And at the end, he's like, "Oh, if you're judging my actions, sell a million records and see how you do."

10:14 >> Yeah. >> Pretty freaking cool. >> True, man. >> People given the test will probably fail. It's It's a different world. Yeah. I don't even know what that's like. >> The dark side. They haven't had and you don't have the money to express your dark side. You don't have the opportunity. They they say like uh with with success comes more temptation. Yeah. Right. So like it's easy to be a broky and then be moral. >> Oh what what is if you guys have an example of have you ever have to face with any temptation to either drugs or women or whatever? >> I I was tempted when I was broke all the time. All the time and I failed [laughter] >> all the time. >> Oh ████ Okay. that you like. >> But like but like but like but you >> I think it gets crazier with the more money you have for sure. >> Yeah. >> But I I would say I would probably fail a lot >> because um I'm I'm also a very

11:04 analytical person. >> So if I kept thinking about it more and more and if I could find out there's less and less ways to get caught, I'll probably end up doing it. So like you know like let's say the the ████ treasury or whatever, right? If they print sheets of hundreds >> and then like let's say there's just uh one out of every thousand is a hundred that looks like a regular hundred but you have to throw it away. >> Yeah. >> And you have to put in the trash. >> You put in your pocket >> after like maybe 6 months and I realize what the system is. It'll probably start going [laughter] like this like every single I would. >> And you're the only one not doing it. >> I'm not hurting I'm literally not hurting anybody. I'm not like stealing from anybody. It's going in the trash anyways. when that when when I use it at the liquor store, they can use it again and again. No one's going to find >> it's not counterfeit. >> Yeah. I'm like, dude, I'd be ████ taking a hundred every ████ day. [laughter]

11:54 >> I wonder what everybody's um like moral stance is when it comes to like how much are you willing to hurt people to Yeah. to succeed or like have uh benefit yourself, you know? >> Like I wonder what everybody's >> I wonder too. so I could watch out for you ████ >> I think that's that's the hard part though is that like more often than not you're not I don't think like the path really has a lot of junctions where you go okay I'm going to have to hurt this person. >> I think a lot of the time what happens is you're not even conscious that someone's going to feel hurt and you just get there and then someone just has that to say about you and you're surprised by it and you're like what I didn't do that >> I I can't think of them but I'm sure I have. I think I think I have. Yeah. I think I just went about my day, my business, and then people just looked at

12:44 it differently than I did, and they were like, "Oh, all right then, Mr. Cool Guy, who went and did his thing, you know?" And I'm like, "What? Why'd you get offended?" >> The people who were raised for these positions >> cuz I don't think people understand that there's a lot of people that come from powerful families and all that. It still works like old school medieval times where it's like the daughter is raised up just to be married off to someone to help the dad's power. >> Yeah. >> And they are doing the family duty. >> And that may have been happening longer than what we're living in. [laughter] >> And it's not just that. There's like sons that are like this is your career path. This is what you're going to do. >> They're just a chess piece in their father's game >> like Hunter Biden. So >> yeah. Yeah. That sucks. You got to be born into got to comply. I see what you're saying now though. [snorts] But do you feel like you're are you

13:34 struggling with that normally? Like is that what you're >> curious about you guys? >> I I feel like I have traditional morals, like you know, you don't steal or you don't like ████ kill anybody or whatever. Um, but I think I whatever my morals are, >> most of it aligns with the law. And then there's the other ones that align more with the streets and then the other ones that align with family. So if like let's say Ta kills someone, I wouldn't be like, "Oh, I need to turn you in." I'm like, "We're going to ████ flee the country first." Because I I'm more aligned with that law. >> Yeah. >> Allegedly, guys. Allegedly. [laughter] >> But family first. But there'll be like Yeah. Yeah. Like some of it I align with the regular law >> but some of my morals is

14:25 >> street law like street and then and then some of it is more family aligned. >> Is it like are you thinking in the terms of like let's say Bart had a partner in real estate they go on this project together >> halfway through he learns that if he cuts his partner out he'll make even more money so he figures out some lame excuse to get that guy off the project and then makes way more money like that kind of thing. That's another >> like a backstab >> question also like what is the like for that one I'm I'm street law >> okay >> so if I give someone my word if I give someone my word I don't give a ████ what the contract says >> I'm going to give my word and I'll stick to it until I
