0:00 thank you [Music] and everybody welcome back to another amazing episode of the careful boys and today is all about cans yeah I hate you can I love you love you too dude can't this part where you riff all right so uh the other day I was um at my office and I was typing up some stuff and then I was like dear Nick I really love the way that you roast me on JK and I really think it comes from a genuine place because I think you actually hate me and I just want to say that I'm gonna uh hate you back every day all the time you type like that love can and I sent you an email you sent me an email

0:50 yeah you check check your phone I'm just kidding I didn't send it I got him oh I reached my phone that was me riffing bro can't tell us and and the family of friends and fans out there fans the fans fans tell us something that you've never told anybody oh man that's a tough one huh yep I don't know what what have I never told anybody uh uh dude I can't think of it I have no how long have you been at JK how long I think since I lived with you so what year was it however long that when was that 2000 2013. 2014 probably 14. a lot of something that Joe's done that like pissed you off the most oh dude actually you know what's funny

1:41 you never actually pissed me off to the point where I was like oh God damn it Joe like but there were like sometimes I was just like dude this is what it's like living with Joe living with him yeah yeah please please elaborate we lived no we lived no it's got to be longer than 2013. no it was only like 2009 and ████ no no not that long I was still I barely got out of high school then okay okay yeah but I knew you back then though that would have been weird if I lived with you that's the things that Joe did that pissed you off ah dude he's never done anything that pissed me off really what was like living all those years he never deleted your footage I mean the only thing the only thing maybe like this is like more my fault was like telling me to wash the dishes and I was like oh man I always wash my dishes but I guess I didn't today and then he

2:31 yelled at me that was it it wasn't that bad so but he was like it was like living with like an older brother kind of so it's that Dynamic ish but but also here he's like your boss so it's kind of like that dynamic-ish right yeah but I saw I can't really say anything because he's he's my boss no dude it's the attitude let me take some notes to make sure for the review I'm gonna get fired oh oh why I left JK if you could change anything about JK what would be um the whole set really no I win well because like the paint and stuff I would definitely change the paint dude it's just mad old yeah I wouldn't I wouldn't

3:21 redecorate it for sure if we decorate it too yeah I don't know anything but like anything but yeah I know but it's a good song I would put artwork I would put uh I would get rid of the couches I would oh those are not good those are good couches man no they're not to lay on you not to sit to Leon not to look at you've laid down on those yeah dude no I think we got them for like 200 bucks each the way it is too but it would be cool to see it like just different run no we need it we need to change it who would you bring back that's not currently on JK that's a good question oh bichoy I love beach oh yeah yeah I would bring him back because he's I lived with him too so after I live with Joe I live with Detroit and then me and him were like we pretty much like play games all the time smoke weed whatever we hung out a lot whoa huh what was uh living with B

4:13 Troy like it was chill like low stress like there's barely any like does he ever ask about me I don't think he even knew you yet no I'm talking about now dude now does he ever ask about me like what's that Nick guy doing is that what he sounds like wait do you do you talk to him now no but every time I hung out with beach I was like this dude's cool as hell I really like that no he's dude he's super cool but uh he's too bad he's gone now he's like what number what happened to him get him back I don't know I think he just left right I no he's he's no it was like he was going up there to take care of family and stuff and he decided to stay and he's uh he's working in film and stuff but he's working up there yeah yeah yeah but a lot of fans say that this is like the sickest era of JK do you agree with him

5:03 yes I do agree you've been around for over 10 years now and you haven't had a raise since how do you feel about that um it's not about the money man I don't care about it I'm not here to get dude I make the least amount of money here than anywhere else you don't have to save it I'm clearly just here for you didn't explain why though okay because you have a whole company now because what people don't know behind the scenes is a lot of the people who've edited for us can't took all their jobs because he has an editing company now I didn't take their jobs but yeah um I pretty much took their jobs but I think it's because like what I see in JK is like what I've always seen in the past where it's like I used to look up to you guys I still kind of do as like Bigger Brothers and I

5:55 feel like even though you don't think so I think you guys are good Role Models like for me personally and so that's why I look further up right yeah and you always say that too which I like that's such a beautiful mind thing to say because you're not making yourself like oh I'm the ████ listen to me blah blah you're like whatever you know no I am two people below me you have more potential really that's a great compliment from Joe dude it's really chill and you know it's never really been about the money it's just more so like how can we co-exist in this ecosystem and like Thrive together that's that's what I really like how often do you think about me throughout the day at least once a day really yeah

6:45 I go I wonder what Nick's eating today because he he would be telling me what to eat what kind of role model is Nick to you huh what kind of role model is Nick to you uh I think Nick yeah I hate I don't know I don't really hate this ████ ████ I ████ hate you what was your first impression in this Nick I was like who's this guy that's the right answer that's a really good first impression it's like yo where do you where did you come from yeah why you look so weird yeah what what's up with his ears you know all right dude that's enough all right that's too far okay in your opinion when you say that you do believe that this era of JK is like amongst your favorite along with the fans why do you think that is why I think because you guys just don't give a ████ anymore like about what you do but you don't sounds

7:35 like an insult more than a compliment you don't care about your company you don't care about your voice and it makes it good because when you try when you're like a tryhard I don't really like tryhards who would you who would you say is a tryhard this guy yeah man you fighting you look too hard with those ears that's not funny you guys we need to cut this yeah Ken you need to edit this out no but I don't think this is like I'm gonna I'm gonna my ears are tearing up a little my ears are ringing they're swelling up they're getting bigger and bigger it's just like kind of hard no I I really do think the attitude matters it's not like you don't care about the work itself

8:26 it's more so like how you're carrying yourself while you're doing the work yeah you know that's a good call so I I can see that and I see that you guys are more happy you know because I like to see my friends happy and I used to see you guys when you weren't happy when was that when was the least happy time probably like three years ago really maybe four I don't know what was the tone from your point of view it was more careful it was actually careful oh it really was literally it's like oh no it fell hell back you're right not do this and do that because of what people think you gotta edit so what kind of things did you what kind of things did you hear and see after the cameras would cut back then uh not it was it didn't feel like natural so so you know how when we cut it's still the conversation still keeps going it's still fun and whatever whatever no don't give them our secrets

9:16 they've already seen it supposed to be completely different but like before it was like cut and then the faces turn off and it'd be like that yeah because because as an editor as an editor I wasn't here yet like I used to not be in the back room but even when I'm editing it you can see it when you cut but then the footage keeps going like you could see it damn yeah yeah but it wasn't like like obvious it was more subtle you know what I mean but you could tell so what do you want to say to the fans that uh actually believe that you live in this room um give him a message dang uh thank you guys for watching because without you guys I wouldn't be you know I would be homeless right now yeah it's on you know the only reason why I'm

10:07 here is because of you guys he can't even use the AC when we're not filming yeah keep it off I get sweaty yeah there's no windows so that's that's why I'm skinny I don't get sunned is that why people yeah my bones are brutal if you had to look Joe in the face and in the eyes right now and ask for a raise how much would you ask how much does that for a percentage-wise where would you be comfortable how would you back up that request um Joe's going bar right now we get about let me think let me do this don't get real numbers percentages like you or be like cut it out anyways double I would ask for because you took 40 off of before I would add I would say like 20 back on damn that's hella nice you didn't get reduced though

10:59 oh I did it I thought I did debate back I think it felt like it nah okay we're not even here we're not even here so you say you didn't ask for a raise in 10 plus years oh that's true I mean I think if you want to give me a raise I think it should be like as much as Nick's getting at least I have to actually know a little more than anything like Nixon least paid one here dude you gotta ask someone else yeah dude I don't get paid much dollars an hour make mine 10.50 no it's just not ████ say that he gets 100 and I want to base it off him you're a little do that ████ bro huh he gets 100 an hour oh do what a hundred uh give me like a hundred and five dollars that would be the same ratio as 10 and 10.50 that's good math is it maybe yeah I can't do math right now but I would whatever he's getting give me

11:50 like why'd you pick me because I hate you bro I like the adding up bro um out of all the videos you deleted which one do you regret the most ah none of them it was all trash no regrets no regrets no I I feel like that that was a pretty big oofy doofy I feel like I made it and not by re-editing I try to use editing skills yeah but yeah and then it happened again but this is fault it was no so it happens but it's okay like with the power of editing you know we can save things you can't save it if you never recorded exactly with the power of anything oh you can I I saved it I saved it with screenshots

12:41 of other videos oh that's great and then we I could do ADR or something dude yeah let's do voiceover yeah save it you could save the footage that was never recorded buy a bunch of stock footage edit that has nothing to do with Jake there's a lot of stock footage of Nick yeah and just Nick narrating over stock footage yeah perfect who's been your favorite and least favorite guest to come on the show that's a good question oh I don't know like me watching or me just just in general just watching and editing whatever we're both being Vibes I think favorite guests this year well does it count if they're like currently like like recurring because I like I like to lean on here you don't have to say that you're not a guest anymore you know what do you like about it like you're like what do you not like about it yeah what do you not like about me clean yeah what why is she

13:32 the best and worst yeah why am I the best it's hard to say it's hard to say and worse why is the hardest why am I the best at being in the world a lot there's not a lot dude not like you wait is that does that make sense that's a good answer wow I came in during a time that is very natural male yeah I mean Fair the future's male dude that's all right okay so non-recurring non-recurring yes what up what up the pictures male maybe dude it's gotta be that guy that real estate do you know what I'm talking about that's ████ up I wasn't here that day he's the best you know what I'm talking

14:22 about it's not his fault it's not his fault I'm just gonna say real estate it was a weird ████ day bro it was a weird weekend he had no like prior explanation he didn't know why he was here and the whole time he didn't know what was going on and he didn't know any of us it's like I don't like him as a guest on the show but as a person he's really cool oh so what I mean so that's not fair to him because other than that all of our guests are actually really great like everybody has something to contribute to the room so Bart brought a guest on and didn't even really explain ████ and he didn't show up that day yeah oh wow I think what happened too was the first time he was here it was during the pandemic and you guys were talking purely about real estate so I think when he came on he was

15:12 expecting to purely talk about real estate and then we're like Kevin what do you think about three kids dying in Florida it's bad I guess and we're like let's make jokes about that so poor ████ guy has to sit here and just look at like what the ████ ████ what do you think about that you ever sell any joke houses we just did like because he was here for regular articles plus otrs and we did a bunch of like regular stuff it's like he didn't know where the pocket was to talk he would have like a whole 10 minute no word type deal oh I would say that's hard to do just naturally exactly yeah plus we all thought we were being pranked so we kind of took it half serious yeah oh Honestly though my favorite configuration of like the people sitting here it's always just the OG cast like careful boys like because

16:04 some of those videos like I laughed the hardest yeah yeah you actually like audibly laugh out loud yeah because I have to I'm like watching it and then like Steve or someone is just saying something so dumb and I can't like not laugh these are dumb things all the time he's the dumbest Sayer dude the fat con one was ████ funny oh dude fat con was rough oh yeah and this guy's just like trying not to crack up as hard that made it so much funnier funnier people people started to comment being like yo they changed the thumbnail so I

16:54 changed it yeah we changed it yeah we're trying to increase of our thumbnails you know I look like I was ████ getting the cramp from laughing that's why it was so funny dude it was great and then you use the actual photo of like the fat con speakers that made it so bad without contact I didn't even know who that was that was the keynote speaker wasn't that your article Anthony what are you talking no it is almost getting ████ thrown on the bus for other people's ████ he's the one who presented the article I didn't get any damage but it's like stuff like that where it's like you don't expect it to be funny because it's like oh just another regular cast video but then something like there's always gold nuggets in those videos yeah there were chocolate do you ever watch or edit the videos that you're in and laugh at

17:44 something you said uh no not really I just watched it and I'm like turn my brain off and I just go through it I'm not like watching myself and go oh you know that was it yeah that's so weird he's like that's a good taste what a favorite guest oh favorite guess did I not say it yet no we heard your least favorite that's for sure yeah you said Colleen it clean's your least favorite yeah she's recurring wait I'm the best of the worst she's the best recurring best recurring or non-recurring they're probably Jesus man oh wow because he's good vibes because he talks continue well you you said Jesus and then Jesus popped up what it says Jesus first century Jewish preacher and religious leader central figure how did I not listen to anything else until you said Jesus it's the magic word dude yeah he's really funny because like even off camera like he's just cool with
