0:00 can't watch an RV music r b music video without thinking like I think this guy wants to ████ me like there's a sheep blowing behind him he's looking at the camera like oh this guy you're all looking good [Music] welcome back to careful boys we are very careful boys and today we got Tyler back hey hey Tyler and uh we finally get to meet Nick's children yeah I brought him today I hope that's okay with you guys Leon and Winnie Winnie Winnie the Poo named after Danica McKellen she's named after um Winnie the Pooh I guess really that's what Tiff that's a good Winnie also I named him after Leon black from Curb Your Enthusiasm I was thinking Resident Evil I just

0:51 thought Leon was I was like man Leon's a cool ass name that's cool man it is Resident Evil yeah that's mine familiar oh yeah that one too that one too I'm neon Leon so today we are talking about uh what is something that's popular that pisses you off really gets in it grinds your deals literally what we're just talking about right now so right now it's like uh can you play the one Biden clip real quick okay so this is what pisses me off right now and I've never really been political because even like when I was in the military like uh people would be Republican people would be Democrat they're all military and they're talking in the workplace and no one got their feelings hurt and they it was almost like it almost actually felt like they were talking about sports we're like oh ████ the Bulls ah ████ the Lakers and then at the end of the day they're gonna stick to the guns but it's

1:41 like a friendly acceptance on both sides now it's like they you hear the other side as whatever and the wall goes up and it's not accepting and almost like I can't hang out with you I've uh during like the heat of all of it in the pandemic I've even heard people like my mom's toxic I can't talk to her she's a ████ like whatever and I'm like what the ████ that's your mom dude like but because she's a she's a trump supporter Trump supporter or Biden supporter or whatever no it's this clip of of Biden this is this is Nick's president by the way it's my brother maybe just between a man and a woman and states must respect that yeah I get mad at is stuff like that if you repost just to call out the inconsistency the the social climate is

2:31 immediately you're a trump supporter I'm supporter I ████ knew it and you're like no I'm just going wait that person changed their words quite a bit and you know I mean we even see it in the comments too like there's no such thing as a moderate like we're not allowed to be moderates which most of us are like you have to pick a side and if you if you pair it one side talking points then all of a sudden you're completely that you're a Die Hard alt-right or a super woke liberal yeah it's fun on the show too because like I think we're all kind of trump comedy supporters like yeah we all laugh our asses off at Trump ████ all the time all the time and then but then I'm also like yeah I think like the every president we've had in the last like 50 years is a war criminal yeah yeah they're supposed to be yeah but yeah no exactly what the BART said what's kind of crazy though I I think I

3:21 was a trump comedy supporter and then this year I think I became a trump supporter no because like hey you could only transition because all this so all the ████ that he said like it was like it was like like I believe in the vaccines whatever and we need to build the wall and all this other ████ right you're like man that just sounds ████ crazy you're laughing at him so hard and then you see the the Border crisis that we have and then in the board all the people that are crossing over I think they already cost three uh Afghans that are on the FBI's Wanted list for 9 11. oh my God like that is part of the security where people think oh what is it against Latinos that you hate and it's like no ████ it's against insecure or unsecured borders it could be anybody it could be Somalian pirates like all the bad people that are coming in and I'm like damn I think his wall is kind of like a good idea

4:13 the Somali pirates are just coming for Treasure yeah oh that's true we don't want anything x marks the spot give them some Lucky Charms to leave that is a weird thing that I don't like the trend of Corporations being politically like charged and also like like standing for like more out like moral causes and stuff like that because like well they're just trying to sell ████ but it's that's not even being said but the people don't understand it's marketing but they're kind of being fooled like Nick buys rainbow leashes yeah for his pugs right yeah because I get it when a small business like on a community level right like let's say I'm showing them today can I can I be honest though what the ████ is that so look when I bought them on Amazon this is my honest story people don't believe me but you my own sister doesn't believe me I was uh

5:03 buying and I couldn't figure out what color I wanted to get so I was like oh the rainbow one's cool so let's get all of them so I yeah I got four of them and then my sister saw me she goes getting ready for Pride or what and I was like I ████ hate your sister too I was like no I didn't even realize so was your sister like don't appropriate my culture because you're not gay like me no she just thought it was funny yeah because that's the thing too like let's say you like rainbow yeah now you're immediately like gay pride supporter or what like what what if I just like rainbow like everything also too Technicolor Dreamcoat everything's so tight I'm just a leprechaun all the games all the gay dudes in my neighborhood with dogs they're like extra nice to me because of that rainbow leash that's kind of cool so they're like you're an ally it's like a hack I mean it's an ally but you can't beat it but no see though yeah I get beat up a lot yeah people maybe that's

5:54 it after brown belt then for you oh ████ yeah when I was a kid I moved to California from Virginia right and the teacher gave us like this thing to color and I was like oh cool like I'll just paint I'll just color this Castle in a rainbow and then after that the teacher was like super sensitive around here and I didn't even know the gay people like owned the that flag get because it really wasn't the case yet that's not fair dude well they kind of she thought you were getting those gay after that for sure they stole it from the Hawaiians yeah like the license plate in Hawaii is the giant rainbow right and then it's been like that for ████ decades I bet they're like oh bro they just jacked us bro that's cool bro my mind's just so used to this point like whatever I mean honestly you guys can have the rainbow back like I'm fine with that yeah can I be a spokesperson like I don't we don't

6:44 want the rainbow anymore honestly I don't want the rainbow either I don't like the rainbow give it back to Hawaii yeah give back to them they wanted and Hawaii should give it back to the Bible I like what you were saying yesterday about how the rainbow like doesn't go with anything no it's a fashion disaster yeah it's so hard to match collars with these guys it is though it's like rainbow only matches with rainbow because taika loves Rainbow because it's all the colors yeah but then because it's all the colors it goes with nothing I just don't like how like like also because like my hoodie right here has some cool like rainbowy like type patterns on the back that's more tie-dye right that looks cool I want that to be it because like when it's in lines like this right yeah it's just very boring I don't know are you dunking on my leashes dude rainbows actually look straighter to me because they're all exactly they're all like exactly roygbiv because

7:36 they're not like but like when Tyler turn around like those are actual distinct colors that are different yeah but then like this is so straight to me and it's straight it's like red orange yellow I feel like mixing it together like that represents sexuality a bit more like realistically as well because it's more like more of like a spectrum it's not like this line people aren't like in these like myself that's the news symbol from now on I only do it's straight right I feel like I've always hated Trends and that's what got me into comedy because like I never liked mainstream when it was mainstream I never liked things that were popular when it was pot like it was good you know the comedy got Trends too you're either too early or too like like it's a

8:27 classic yeah like were you one of those kids who's like you know in sync and Backstreet Boys were like kind of fire where you're kind of like I like it but I pretend like I hate it I was that yeah yeah I did that but the house I like that I like the pop but it didn't really ignite me the way that like certain other music genres did like like Michael Jackson that's probably the most pop that I went but like other than that like the Britney Spears NSYNC that genre um I mean I listened to it but it didn't hit for some reason I hate Backstreet Boys and NSYNC but I know what alerts don't know why [Laughter] do you like I think when they first came out and I was in high school I was like ████ I want to kill these guys and then wait what about Justin Bieber because every

9:17 like high schooler I knew hated Justin Bieber like every guy hated it you know what I think it is I liked him because he was the generation was not like competitive that's what I think it is so like we were way older so it was like a cute kid right yeah I fell for it I I I really thought that he was some cocky little kid and I was like ████ that little cocky ass but then I watched this documentary no I did I actually really did he's kind of a cocky kid in there he's a cocky kid but he but he was so musically gifted I had no idea I just heard his songs and like baby baby baby I'm like this is a ████ killer song dude wow and people like wow he wrote this song I'm like who gives you a baby baby baby oh that's good writing to you like you know I mean like I just was ignorant about it I thought you were gonna be sarcastic saying like you know how they doctored a whole like thing how he was discovered just off a random video and

10:07 then he wasn't already managed oh I didn't know that yeah was he already managed I think Scooter Braun had him so they orchestrated that Discovery they mildly did that's what I didn't like in the documentary that fool was slapping Scooter Braun every five minutes was I slapping yeah he would just be like surprised well Pat across his face I don't know if I like this kid I think I liked them before this documentary that's why you got to read your contract and just slap him in the face when I saw him drawing I was like okay okay ████ up I was like he's actually pretty good amazing but I didn't know that and the way that they presented him and or portrayed him in the in media that I saw which is like commercials and ████ I wasn't like watching the same TV that all the kids who loved him he plays everything too guitar piano like he plays everything I just didn't know I did I did think it was kind of funny though when guys would like look at boy bands and be like oh that's so gay and

10:57 I'm thinking it's not for you bro like of course like and it is gay it's like it's it's for women like or it's like it's like it's afford it's a different audience right so like why you why are you criticizing it as if it's made for you I think that's when you're younger your view is like that so that's why I hate them because you're like you think the whole world is made for me yeah I hate this I hate this I hate this and then you get older and you're like oh there's there's a lot of people yeah that's true can't watch an RV music r b music video without thinking like I think this guy wants to ████ me I'll be able to ████ my girlfriend like there's a sheep blowing behind him he's looking at the camera like oh you're doing I'm like oh this guy's trying to ████ you're all looking at the screen going but that is how vain you are at that age

11:47 yeah at that age everything's about that's very true but you do look at things as competition when they're in their same age rating yeah especially at that level Justin Bieber was like the same age as me so like all the high school girls were like you know liking him instead of the other high school boys so the guys are like what what the ████ like we're right here why are you liking this random dude on the internet that you're never gonna see yeah were you actually a fan of Bieber though like at all um I didn't like Bieber until after high school like when you dropped purpose and stuff I wasn't a hate I wasn't a hater though I just thought he was like like I knew it wasn't for me personally of course yeah dang dude imagine saying that the beaver's face this wasn't for me but nice to meet you it's not love me that's pretty good can you hear me this isn't my jam I don't like it

12:41 one thing that I think is funny is so gen Z they think they came out with all this slang but it's just Gay Culture slang yeah it's all from Friends it came from the drag clubs like the sleigh and all that like that's that's not even Millennial that's older than Millennial slang like that's just like 75 79 yeah that's like drag culture that's like all that what if they start calling each other Jive turkeys that's that's from airplanes it's just funny like they think they came up with that ████ and that's their era and I'm all like nah dude that's like old school yeah I think it is old school now though I think Soleil is kind of done am I wrong I'm hearing Riz and all that ████ printer print it the second we just said it it's now done

13:31 if I know about it you just the end of the era what about um any club clothing styles of today that are popular that you guys actually don't like he's coming back like because I missed it you know what's ████ nuts you know what's on coming back uh so when we were kids yeah like specifically us three there's crisscross right and they were wearing literally their shirt the other way backwards now the trend is moving in a direction where you know when things come back it's same but different yeah so people are wearing it backwards but because the designers know that they're just sewing back pockets on the front of jeans now so instead of wearing totally wearing it backwards it's a forward-facing but looks backwards and then they're gonna wear that backwards so it just becomes a regular shirt isn't that crazy I hate that I feel like all the most popular

14:22 clothes I see right now that are expensive looks like their finger painted on like people like literally just take like finger paints and like draw like a sun or something and it's like no it's high fashion yeah the low effort look yeah yeah fashion is interesting crunch graphic design that is a thing it is interesting because I feel like back like when we were in like school like people were inventing or like they were making their clothes and they were like it was it was actually a subculture where like there was some form of risk of being a certain style like right right whatever right and then now everything is commercialized to where it's just fashion like tattoos just fast is there a community there's no Edge is there some culture that's getting bullied now for looking different there should be wondering I think the bullies are getting bullied dude I think that's what it is yeah I feel awful for the bullies right now bring the bullion back

15:13 bodybuilders I don't know but like you know how like athletes like maybe like cyber Goths like maybe they're getting married because they're so dorky they have so many places to go though yeah so many bridges that have underpass yeah because it's it's like if you came to school in Cosplay in the in the late 90s early 2000s someone's ████ you up and taking your sword away no yeah even even like even in the early 2000s when I I was like grunge like kind of rock ████ people hella made fun of me but that's also why like those kids would have those chain wallets that they'll ████ smack you with or like you know dude I just look like a ████ Kohl's ad like my mom dressed me like a little businessman he looked old since he was a child I looked like I had I looked like I had like a beeper like you could have put right here like a young Sheldon yeah it

16:03 was insane oh you know what I don't like which is not I hate when uh when people are not committed to like being a Gotham what does that mean like if you if you're just like gossed out to the max like you just like white face like all this like straps but then you get into an Ultima and drive away oh Starbucks like a hearse you gotta have a freaking purse yeah you gotta ride a black horse yeah I think that that is what it is like before if you're in a subculture you're committed to it nowadays everyone's half-assing everything everyone's half-assing yeah for sure I think everyone's cosplaying like they're not they're not in it they were always cosplaying though I feel like everyone's a little bit just like mildly schizophrenic today so we

16:54 all have like 20 different personalities within us that are like all trying to like kind of surface because in the past you just kind of went to your group and that's like who you were around now you're with your group and then you're looking at like you know snapchats of other people in other groups and stuff so you're not you're not trying to assimilate to this one thing we're kind of trying to assimilate to so many things that's true because there's so much information and data out that it is hard to stay on one thing and now there's a there's a possibility for so much more subculture so you can just kind of dive in and dip your toes in all the time right that's true I guess it is easy to be hyper critical when the information age is way faster now you probably get tired of your own Trend after like way shorter of a time than we did you know the algorithm shoves it down here I committed a good four years to Nautica and Hilfiger in High School junior high Nautica that stuff was tight though yeah that

17:44 was really tight I do think the end of True culture is probably 2000 or 2010. then everything past that is just reinventions of the past dude you know you know it's something I I listened to recently that is a very good example of that is this dude was saying he was asking his son like hey what kind of bands do you like what artist do you like and he goes I don't know I just like chill hip-hop on Spotify and he goes which artist he goes I don't know I just like listen to chill hip-hop yo that is so he doesn't know they don't know artists bro yeah that happened to me because of lime no like you know like um vintage band shirts and like those things are really popular right dude like a lot of kids be ████ buying Brands and shirts that they they don't even they're just like I like the design they don't know anything about it yeah I'll be like oh ████ you like ████ train spotting they're like What's that and I'm like it's on your shirt

18:35 it's like that's a movie oh I like this picture it's like okay oh dude you like the Nazis not just like geometric shapes it is kind of crazy they don't know and I was like what the ████ well I wouldn't be caught dead buying things of Brands and like bands if I don't know it like back in the day it's like when you wore that ████ that's because you were like hella into Metallica that's who you were yeah you know like and then because you're trying to like be like yeah I'm into this and then they go oh you like Metallica too and you make friends and ████ right yeah but then like there's hella people that just buy it because they like their design I bought a Van

19:25 Halen shirt yesterday and I don't know a song by Van Halen you should listen to Van Halen you might like it yeah it was a cool shirt though yeah I like the shirt a lot yeah I don't know the albums though people always go what are the album I don't ████ know I don't know no that's like that's too deep of a cut sometimes for certain ads yeah yeah I'm not like the ████ psychopath dude Napster and torrent a just download everything I don't know that that's actually that's like it's like I have a blink shirt I don't know every single song you know what though ever since Spotify and like Pandora and all that um I don't know the names of songs so I can see why it's chill hip-hop do you feel sad because I feel like oh I don't know I'm not connected to the artist anymore I'm just connected to the genre I'm not sure I could name a Van Halen song right now yeah his example was funny this comedian guy I could hear it but I can't name the title and it's also mixed in with 80s AC DC yeah yeah

20:20 for some reason I can't name like any songs except for that one yeah thing he said it's equivalent to someone asking you what books you like and you just say helvetica and or if you said what kind of food do you like soft textures it's like it's because you don't know what the thing is times no you know the it's not ████ weird it's weird it's weird I never thought that would be a thing either have you seen spotify's new AI DJs yeah I tried it out yeah you were listening to your Tyler suitable radio station now playing songs that you were going to like and just like talking they do play songs that I like though which is crazy yeah they got enough data by now we've been using it you think there's a DJ out there named DJ Ai and he's like uh my career's

21:13 ruined because when I'm working out I'll type in like let's say like EDM hype mix and then all the songs that come out and then Geo's EDM hype mix it sounds like Forever 21 like I'm gonna go shopping in mine it's like like harder like ████ like knife party or like bloody bleach type stuff and I'm like damn this even though we typed in the same thing it ████ learned our choices it's like within the genre who you like damn crazy one of the other things I like is when you go to an artist and that creates like your own personalized radio station with the artists and other things that you kind of like you know kind of like they know how to make adjacent playlists my brain so good yeah you find a lot of cool stuff that way people like the kids listen to this are like are you guys ████ serious that's so old I know they're like we dig in record crates now
