0:05 thank you chilling bro get me I'm getting you ████ you look amazing that's amazing huh I heard I heard hey Bart let's go and I was like I grabbed all my ████ and I went around the corner here and then I'm listening to you guys and then I hear I can hear everything and I can hear Barton go like hey Steve are you there [Laughter] [Music]

1:05 thank you [Music] welcome back to careful boys we are very careful boys and today we're talking about defend look the economy's kind of weird and stuff like that it's time to defend buying expensive ████ go let's go buy an expenses where do you need all these cars and ████ for dude yeah I only got one car you got ████ multiple Vehicles no I only got one a truck what are you what are you at now I got three trucks he has three reliable ones I have three trucks but they're in different states that's a pretty good Flex honestly three license plates too I have three license plate no two no I have two do

1:57 you have the rainbow um Hawaii um license plate yep that's cool Super Rainbow I'm Pride every day right and don't you don't you have two of the same truck yes I do I have a 2023 Tacoma one in Hawaii one in Nevada that's tight same color no oh yeah unbolt your plates and just swap the plates that'll be hilarious like I just go and take my Nevada plates well I mean people do ship their cars to Hawaii so it's not that rare because you'll see like Virginia plates and stuff and you're like wow especially military people you drove over the ocean yeah I have an argument actually to buying uh luxury things yeah during like I think we're dressed for this sometimes are tough right you're still creating jobs

2:47 you know yeah going to Louis Vuitton like you're giving the Louis Vuitton CEO a job yeah yes I see you're still stimulating the economy because the thing is if nobody spent money from Rich all the way down to work in class and poor that that means everything gets ████ but if even in recessions like Ballers keep spending right more incredible and that's what keeps things going even though the rest of us poor folks don't have anything to really spend on Colleen do you like designer stuff uh I don't I don't like anything with name brands anything not even one thing right anything like it I like I like what about L cameras well that's different it's different because I feel like

3:38 there's like Gucci and everything right like some people might not like Gucci wallets but they might have a Gucci like fishing pole they went straight to like clothing and like accessories um that I don't like name brands for but obviously when it comes to like quality products in cinema of course like you don't got a ████ Minolta camera yeah what's that I don't know right yeah ████ yeah you probably got the cool ████ like a Lumix the Sony or something a Fuji film you know Fujifilm yeah like Ryan you probably use Yamaha and ████ sure yeah yeah yeah I will I will defend brands in the in the case that you don't have to buy it as many times if you get a good one that's true it does luxury always have quality nope it's wonderful branding luxury or a luxury guarantees quality of

4:28 life when flexing on others yeah yeah quality of life is wonderful we're dripping in luxury right now we are yeah I feel like on my skin you know some Brands some I would say some brands are though like for guns I try to buy the most expensive one in it like the reliability and how it works is like 10 times better than the regular like gun so yeah I agree you know kills people 10 times faster yeah well he doesn't check it out more dams their souls if you run like a thousand rounds through it you're gonna ████ kill a thousand people which is yes yeah but then if you have a gun that's jamming all the time you're like ████ maybe yourself too yeah and sometimes like if you know what you're getting the resale value is so good like a Rolex or like a wonderful Toyota because like

5:18 when when I had this uh cool little Rolex I was just like man ████ War it's brand new it's so nice had it for like five years and I was like oh I probably didn't wear it for the last two years so I went to sell it and I got 500 extra for it and I bought it brand new that's crazy so that it happens like that sometimes you know I mean you can't you probably can't do it on a Louis Vuitton wallet but like the Rollies you can like that wasn't meant to be luxury it was actually like Rolex and like Omega they're meant to be like really really precise instruments like a Range Rover that like it's not meant to be yeah the actual divers and ████ astronauts used it and then rich people like to buy crazy ████ so they're like dude is that what the the watch that went to the deepest parts of the the ocean and then they kind of like the market drove it up yeah the market

6:08 elevated it when those two brands are actually supposed to just be like instruments so G-Shock has a chance they're coming back baby do you remember when um Ben Baller was Diamond studying the G-Shocks that was a very popular thing to do that's how they elevated the G-Shock I would love to ice this thing out dude it's already pretty icy honestly yeah that's pretty freezing that's pretty heavy he's shocked dude I didn't carry that on your wrist you should ice out your crypto Ledger I should do that actually but I need to have a reason to do it so right now everything's on that's on his trash worthless trash if you guys were a luxury clothing brand which one resonates mostly with you I love well until they ████ up recently I loved um valenciaga Balenciaga bro that was my ████ you're a Balenciaga kind of big time I could see the shoes on you but then they're like hey we have a new clothing line about ████ kids and I

6:59 was like Jesus dude this is crying crazy for me I never see anyone at the Balenciaga store but the Chinese really Chinese love it they never seen the marketing that or like they never seen the the the the cancel ████ that we did and even if they did they're like we don't care because the kid already make the Balenciaga do they really don't when I was in China I remember that even the like the camera guy or the grip or any any even the lowest like level of uh people working on set had like off-white they had like dope ass Brown yeah and they would tell me is because of the status like they'll just save up their money and go and buy that ████ so they could like belong yeah just so they can like like uh that way they'll be noticed in the same like way but this is a discount way because people think it's Versace yeah

7:50 and then they have to really look and go oh it's not dude I went me and Nikki were on the strip and uh I was with her parents so we're taking her to like the touristy areas and they wanted to go to the ████ Venetian and ride the gondolas until we found it's like 700 for four people actually I'm exaggerating but it was nuts we're like we're not doing this ████ for a 10 minute ride we go back and forth ████ though ████ that but we while we were on the way Nikki and her mom wanted to go check out this like cool art store so we go in there and I'm dressed in one of these because I was on this trip and I have to do it it's my ████ brand right I have to represent my brand and ████ right so so I'm in the store and this guy completely ignores everybody else in the store and just comes up to me and bugs me the entire time and we're in the tiger suit this is Amazon 47 dude dude you're a big bomber and this guy's like this guy's like oh you like tiger and I'm like yeah I like
