0:00 Yeah, most people don't eat out hookers. Am I right? >> That was my 30s. >> But yeah, >> that's when I was responsible. >> Mid30s. >> Late 30s. >> Oh, early 30s, dude. >> Welcome back to another episode of the Careful Boys, where Hey, Subie, how do you feel about Gen Z? So I I'm I always get very confused on that. Gen Z QR S TU. >> Let's just look at the dates. >> Yeah. Yeah. Let's look at the dates. >> What's the real date? Cuz there's Did you know? Did you hear what a Zelennial was? >> No. >> What? >> Oh, is that the mix between millennial and >> There is a clear cuz I employ a ████ ton of Gen Z, right? There is a clear difference between Gen Z that are closer to millennial in age. And the difference
0:51 I think are the Gen Z's that went to high school and college in their youth before lockdown. So if they went to high school and college during lockdown, their personality is completely different. >> Isn't there a difference in even millennials too? There's like a two-part millennial. Uh there's like a Zelenio and then like which is closer to Gen X and then there's like a or that's Zelenio maybe with a Z closer to Gen Z. Yeah. But then there's also like Yeah. Like a Gen Z that's closer to millennial >> Jen Zalinski. >> But I don't know. So Gen Z generally refers to people born between the years 97 and 2012. generations often called the digital natives because they grew up with the internet, smartphones, and social media and are characterized by their
1:41 techsavviness and pragmatic financial outlook. >> That's a huge gap. 20 >> pragmatic financial outlook. >> They they're technically or apparently generalized as pragmatic and financially conservative. Having seen the financial struggles of millennials and facing events like the 2007 to 2009 recession, Jenz is more cautious with money and focus on avoiding debt. According >> is that the um what is that one movement? Is it called like fire or something? >> Oh, uh >> the early retirement like there's like this one movement right now where like whereas I think in from our parents >> financial independence retire early. >> Yeah. I think from our parents we we go okay we we work at this job for 20 30 years then you retire when you're supposed to hit retirement age. I think there's another movement where it's like how can I live very like frugally and then retire when I'm 30 or 40. And that
2:33 sounds more like the Gen Z people, right? >> I I enjoy and am trying to adopt that movement, but maybe I'm adopting it too late, so I'm still just a regular millennial. >> You enjoyed your 20s, bro. And you paid the price, my friend. >> Hell yeah. >> Hell yeah, pimp. >> And I'll pay it again and again. >> Get it again. >> But you know what I mean? Like that's kind of the trade-off is like when you're young, like I think enjoying life is like makes sense. >> Yeah. But the way we did it, it's like really cool cuz like most people say enjoying life is like going to the movies and drinking on the weekends, >> right? >> Like that's >> that's not bad, but that's like most people are like their 20s is just clubbing and drinking a ████ >> Yeah. Most people don't eat out hookers. Am I right? >> That was my 30s. >> But yeah, >> that's when I was responsible. >> Mid30s. >> Late 30s. Oh, >> early 30s. Dude, I'm just
3:24 >> or I forget. But anyways, when you're in your 20s and you're a millennial, you went to the parties, you went to do a lot of drugs, you did a lot of fun stuff. Not saying that they don't do that today, but there's no club scene like we had. >> Oh, yeah. And they're not drinking alcohol the same way. Yeah. >> Cuz even if you didn't drink back then, the parties were crazy. Like you go like Vegas, like all these places. It's just uh that's just a thing that everyone did every weekend. But like no one does that no more. Like >> they do it but yeah it's way less. >> It's not in the same way at all. Yeah. >> There's always outliers. Well, I bring them up because there is a viral social media trend that's called Gen Z's great lock in right now that's happening. >> What is that? >> They're locked in >> lowkey. It just sounds like uh it's like a Bart 24/7 thing. It's weird. >> What the ████ is that supposed to mean?
4:14 basically viral social media trend they that promotes a period of intense focus on personal goals and self-improvement from fall to the end of this year. So they're doing like a threemon lock in where they like lock in to personal goals. >> Good time of year to lock in too. Quarter four, baby. >> It's kind of It's kind of sick if it's a viral social trend. Imagine that becoming a viral. >> It's better than ████ the tide pods and ████ or ████ doing donuts in an intersection. I think I think that's dope because you know >> we're punching old people and grabbing their wallets. >> Yeah, that's awesome. >> It's all thanks to us >> to us. Why? >> To older people. >> Yeah, we set the we set we built the roads or some ████ right? >> I'm in 95. >> He said 97. >> He's a selenial. >> You're 95. >> I'm 95. >> I was ████ in 95, dude. >> Tupac died in 95. >> He did.
5:04 >> And Steve was ████ >> and sucking. Dude, >> you were like nine. >> I was 10 years old, bro. Double digits, homie. >> Uh, let's go. >> 95. You're a 10, huh? >> But no, I'm saying is it's thanks to us cuz we be we be making like our age people be making postes like saying lock in get money. >> So it's our memes that got them motivated. >> It's us. >> We did it. Or our mistakes. >> This guy's actually way more boomer than I feel like you're >> Yeah. You're way more boomer than all of us. >> Yeah. Officer. >> Oh, boomer meaning >> like a good thing and a good thing. >> Yeah. Yeah. Like like locked in zero. >> Yeah. Locked in. Do not to the kids though. The kids think you're lame. >> ████ the kids, man. What the ████ you talking? >> That's very Boomer. >> Very Boomer. >> That's funny. Like growing up, I was always with older kids. Remember remember um Quest? >> Yeah. Remember the guy who tried to to
5:54 um who who was getting you to do gay stuff? >> That's right. >> No, you know. >> No. No. There's that guy. There's that guy. >> Getting groomed by that guy. >> We can reference the video. Don't make us reference the video. >> Reference the video in the comments. Reference the video in the comments. But listen, the raver didn't touch me in my sleep. >> Didn't somebody hit you up about that afterwards when you made that video? >> Yeah. Uh, >> put it in the comments. >> His his sister actually hit me up. >> Yeah. See, guess who didn't hit me up? Is the guy who was touching on my ████ penis while I was sleeping? >> Yeah, cuz he's dreaming about it. That's why he's not hitting you. >> You think so? You think he is? >> ████ yeah. >> And he's dreaming. >> But yeah, the sister actually hit me up about that. >> What did she say? >> Um, dude, >> I think we did a video. Not to avoid the prompt, but what she said was just like, uh, >> why you do that to the family? >> What you said was very harsh, and I don't believe it was true. And I said, you don't have to believe it. I know it was true. >> So, she told you just to say, "I don't
6:44 believe." >> Yeah. But she said, "It's not it's not nice of you to say something like that." >> You didn't name the guy. >> Yeah, exactly. All his friends and family did his did their best to make sure he was out the street. And I said, "Right, but he tried to ████ me, dude." >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Why would I make that up? try to clap my cheeks >> at the end of the I told her at the end of the day this is an experience that I had to go through what I had to witness and she laughed at you. Okay, >> it's not about you or it's not about this this and that. I do >> about a gay relationship that I had. >> It's a true story. I'm not >> stupid. We can't afford to lose subscribers. You should have just like conceded and told her to smash the like button. >> Yeah, smash the like. We need those subs, too. >> Well, I did say thanks for watching. And did you say hey, did you say hit the bell for next time? Yeah. >> I'm going to do a update on this. And did you say, "Hey, think if you if you're looking for socks for winter time, you should check these out." They got the careful.
7:34 >> No, next next time I'll do that. Next time I'll do that. >> Do we still have more socks? I need some more. Those are really good socks. >> Get more. >> They're great socks. Shout out. By the way, the shirts are very high quality. Very high quality. >> Very good quality. >> So, Jenz's great lock in focusing on shifting from summer's soft like a soft life to a disciplined period of hard work. Goals include working on personal resolutions, habits, and projects that might typically be deferred to the new year, starting early on your fitness, your finance, your whatever it is. Activities include fitness, diet changes, meditation, prioritizing sleep, reducing screen time, and establishing morning routines. And the time frame runs from September to December. It's the lockin time. >> That's dope cuz I feel like in our era, anytime you do any of those things, your friends just call you gay. I I want to call someone gay, but nobody here is like act active about this. Like >> nobody's locked in right now.
8:24 >> Well, no. Nobody's being an activist about it because if so, whenever somebody tells me like Nikki like before bed, she's like, "You should limit your screen time because it's" and I'm like, >> you know what I mean? If this was the 50s ████ >> you want to throw hands. >> You try to throw hands. >> So, you would you wish that we all kind of preached harder so you could call us gay harder. No, I'm just saying like some some things that they say sound a little lispy to me, but not everything, but something. >> But most of this list is good >> cuz it's like if you were to do those things, just do it. You don't need to parade around. That's what it is. >> Exactly. Right. >> You don't have to go this is my lock in period. >> You don't have to wave a flag about it. You just >> lock in. Yeah. Oh, I see. >> But it's nice if it's an entire cultural movement. Like so >> that is kind of cool. Yeah, >> because then it it almost builds like a
9:15 community of like accountability which is very helpful for some some people can lock in because they're they're that disciplined. Most people aren't and most people need help but don't have like the space. >> Sure, it's nice but they won't I guarantee you a lot of them won't do it. They're going to go back into their ass getting clapped and cheed up on every weekend cuz they can't stand it. These these Gen Z's are going to go out and say I'm a lock in. and they're going to look at titties and be like, I'm I'm breaking my locking. >> I'mma start popping lock. >> Those those people who would have broken it anyway were always bound to, but people who were just in the middle who needed a little bit of help >> or some people might need to try like three times before they make it >> or just a routine change. >> Yeah, I think it's cool. >> I want to lock in in the holiday. Holidays is usually when I tap out. Holidays is like I'm going to gain
10:05 weight on family foods, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas, New Year's. I'm like, that's why New Year's resolution makes sense because you just want to let the ████ go. You've been working your ass off all year >> to try and maintain. You want to enjoy. >> Doesn't it feel like the beginning of the year to holidays, you you work so hard to make that much money just to spend it all in the holidays? >> You do that? >> I don't do that. >> I feel like I do that sometime. I work so hard and when the holiday comes, it's just bomb. >> I work the hardest on the holidays. What are you spending it on? >> No, just I'm just saying gifts and stuff. But lat but recently these last past two years every holiday I've been uh holiday year comes around I just been freaking trying to focus on how to make more >> cuz in the industry holiday season business goes down >> jobs go lower everything goes slower.
10:56 >> Yeah. >> H >> not if you're Amazon or Target. >> Oh yeah. No I'm just saying in general I feel like I I'm always trying to lock in because when the January hits you're like ████ I think for for me and my family personally, it's like we're not gifts people anyway, so it doesn't really affect me. Like birthdays, Christmas, all that stuff. I don't really care about the presies at all. Like I just want to be around people like because it's about time, >> quality time. That's it. >> What's cool though about Gen Z is that they made all these lame things cool. Because our generation was like the more self-destructive and ████ up and and like and then you're doing hella drugs and then you're like ████ cracked out. >> That's the coolest thing. The more unhealthy you are. You're at 4:00 a.m. ████ eating Jack in a Box with your friends. It's like that's that was the cool thing to do. But then now it's like, "Hey man, let's be a part of this
11:47 ████ run club at 6 in the morning." And then you have the hottest people just running together. And I'm like, "Yo, that's cool." Cuz a run club when for millennials like back then a run club was senior citizens and lameos that are practicing for the marathon like it's not young hot successful people or like a ████ yoga club. It's a bunch of stinky ass hippies. It's not like goodlooking people. And then so now Gen Z made it like maybe it's commercialized or whatever, but they don't go to the club. They go to the gym on a Friday night. >> And I'm like that's ████ cool, man. But it's cuz they're I think they're being influenced by better people than what we had as influences. >> Like what did we have? We had like ████ rock and roll people and stuff. >> And these guys have like podcasters who are talking about health stuff and all kinds of >> sleeping early.
12:37 >> Yeah. Different resources. >> I got made fun of for sleeping early. >> You still do in this room. You still do. >> See, it's ████ up. That's why nobody wants to go to your house. If you're not ████ waking up with a syringe in your goddamn arm and then like and then like eating I don't know breakfast or go and then with a cigarette and then going to um and then go to the hospital then no one thinks you're cool. >> Yeah, >> you you do know why we make fun of you for sleeping early, right? >> Because I care about my REM sleep. >> Yeah, >> that's the baby. >> That's close. >> It's cuz you're lame. You're L A N. >> No, it's we want to call you to hang out. I wish I was Gen Z. Then my friends would make content about me. >> He's the influencer that ████ changed Gen Z. >> That's what I'm saying. We like to hang out with you and you you're like, I got a dip at 6:30. >> That's why I'm like, yo, dude, Jenz is doing the lock in. They're locking in for 3 months, but really it's just bar
13:27 every day. He's like, what do you mean? We could hang out at 8:00 a.m. and get a yummy breakfast somewhere. >> Okay, I think I don't mind that if it's just >> Yeah, get some diner breakfast. >> I like that I can only hang out with you past 7 if it's my ████ birthday. That's not a joke. >> We're laughing because it's not a joke. >> Yeah, but if you hang out when you hang out with him after seven or eight, he's probably just tired. Not even in there, huh? >> Yeah. He's worthless. >> He's catatonic. >> He's catatonic. Yeah, >> he's been like this. >> I know. >> In college since like I was 21. >> Your anxiety starts spiking because you're like, I'm wasting this guy's time. >> In his early 20s, everyone's drinking, watching a movie. This guy's like this. >> I invite everyone over to kick it. That's very sweet of you. You should still do the same. >> Everyone's smoking hookah, drinking. >> No. At 10:30. >> I'm not surprised. Yeah. >> And then everyone just draws on him.
14:18 That was it. That was it. >> I've known Bar for 10 years now. He's been this way the whole 10 years. So you've known him 10 years longer or 15. >> He's always been a sleeping beauty. >> Not surprised. >> ████ clock strikes. I've known Bar for like at least like 14 15 years cuz I've been on JK longer than you. >> Uh-huh. Sure. Let's Let's talk about that. >> Yeah. We'll wait for all Steve days so we have we can dedicate a whole 15 to it. >> How long how you been here long? >> Ed, cut out the last part. Cut out the last part where Steve's talking cuz we only want the truth here. This truth news.
