0:00 no one's talking to each other on trains anymore everyone's just bearing their heads in their books oh something that's true it's like yeah maybe you don't want to talk to the person on the train cuz they're ████ boring and dumb I do think there's a difference between a book and then someone on their cell phone looking at midgets flying across the [Music] screen welcome back to another highly important episode of careful boys today we are talking about bullying oh I love bullying so much but do you love the way it used to be wait how many I think it's worse how many of you guys been bullied ding ding ding that's how you learn how to be the best bully up and down the how many how many of you guys have bullied oh dude yeah that's you graduate to that

0:51 how many how many what how many of you guys bullied you two like you got bullied but you also bullied I don't think I bull way you never bullied anybody don't think so yeah I don't think so either feel like some so so this is my my my thought about bullying right is a lot of people are bullies but they don't know that they're bullying that's true cuz there's a part of bullying where we're about to awaken you now you're having so much fun roasting someone or playing a game with someone oh yeah but they're not playing but for you you just can't resist playing with them cuz it's fun mhm and then finds out later you've been ████ this guy up in their head right cuz they Oh I thought we were playing I thought we were joking together yeah but then it's like they ain't having fun you're having fun so probably a lot then I think so

1:42 cuz like I think I would say like I don't know if it's a clear 50/50 split I would say like 50% there's malicious like let's f ████ ████ with this kid it's funny to do it I think the other 50 is like friendship getting out of hand and then if they can't handle it like like how we love buling my friendship just got out of we're having too much fun that's so funny like when we out Anthony ele right people people get mad at us because they think that's bullying oh because of because in their life that is Bully because I feel like they were that kid in the group of friends that they love to get ████ they like ████ with this kid they're bullying this kid but it's kind of gray area cuz he's also one of the they don't see Anthony backing off about it later yeah

2:32 cuz the way I Define bullying is when the power Dynamic when one is clearly greater than the other so in this room I feel like we're all equals so Anthony it's like he just likes taking it to me that's not even bullying right it's kind of like a a little gross in a way almost like you know like if if a bunch of dudes jump the rival gang that's not bullying they're equals the next day they are going to jump them back but if a bunch of thugs jump the nerd that to me is bullying yeah that's bullying that's like the power Dynamic is way different what happens when a bunch of nerds jump a thug that's punching up that's fine that's kind of that's kind of tight actually that's ants killing a scorpion yeah yeah yeah yeah for real that's Revenge do you think that like so like bullying today I feel like it's completely different like how it's

3:22 done I think I hadn't even when I was younger and I was bullied or I was a bully I had never dreamed that it could reach the level of cyber bullying I never thought about that it's like you can't escape it now yeah and it's like forever you know everyone I bullied just has memories correct also you could leave school the worst of it was like maybe AOL Myspace right so now it's just you can't it's inescapable just like putting a video of somebody around so everyone has it or some ████ like I just never thought of that yeah it's so crazy it's so dangerous too but you guys are younger so when you were in high school and internet was already like a thing did anything like that happen in school or like reached cyber level well there was like a video we kind of talked about this earlier there was a video of this

4:12 girl that got like she was having sex with multiple partners sh and that video I remember I was a freshman and I remember coming to high school and I was like yo people are having sex like I was like what then people with multiple partners like I was just tripping out so that that was one culture shock to me um and then like uh teenage sex but then they would talk about how this video was going around all the teachers would like lecture us like hey like you guys hear about this BL the teachers knew yeah like it was just kind of a thing that and so like well like the cool teachers like one of the cool teachers was like Hey like this is ████ up like don't you guys ████ watch on this don't pass it around blah blah blah oh my God I was like dude we didn't ████ I I'm not going to do nothing I was like I didn't even see the video how was it being passed around like group chat yeah like I think like uh like aim

5:03 probably or something I forgot what the ████ it was but it was like a cell phone video being Tex That's crazy cuz when we were growing up there was no real evidence it was just rumors like did you hear she went to that party they ████ busted a train whatever busted a n but it's like you hear about it or you were there and you saw it but there's no like right there's no like recorded evidence that will last forever that's the rumors and I think that girl eventually left the school like she yeah that's crazy yeah she was like yeah I forgot what happened but I'm pretty sure she left the school and we never saw her after that and I was just like yo this isra and the school is a big school like our graduating class was like 400 kids D so like that was only our freshman class right so it's like holy crap and like you hear about the whole school hearing about you're like what the ████ and

5:53 that's a thing where the whole school will hear about that that's like hot news for yeah back then and it's and it's hard for the kids to not see you with a dick in the mouth if they already saw that dude and then now they're they have just videos of everything now damn that's rough man you are branded like that forever yeah your reputation bro it's like if you ████ your pants or something at assembly there was a guy and his name was cantaloupe because his real name because his brother found a cantaloupe with a hole in it and he found out that his brother would like to microwave cantaloupes and ████ them so they called his brother cantaloupe so he told everybody he told everybody and everyone started calling him cantaloup ████ that was his name damn just cuz his brother did it that's wild I don't know Cal loes were that

6:44 fine yeah should we try it it's probably slimy and ████ if if that hole is actually your size too he would microwave cantaloupes and ████ them but see like even that happening in today's age would just be a straight up video of him doing it yeah that's rough man cu recorded it oh yeah cuz people can't remember everything forever but then when but I remember cantaloupe though I didn't forget that ████ never forgot it's just a funny name you know it's not that bad though cantaloupe what do you mean to be called cantal oh yeah that's his name ████ can you imagine this fool at this fo's at the supermarket and then he's checking out and he's all like ████ sweating and ████ and then the the lady on the red registers like you find everything okay and he goes mighty fine boy did I mighty fine oh yeah he's

7:37 like I'm having a threeome later that's nasty did you have internet ████ happen when you were in high school internet ████ yeah no we we we I was we never had internet cuz in high school we were moving around too much from Hawaii to sack and then I was never home yeah cuz we never had internet you had a normal childhood yeah yeah yeah we couldn't know my mom couldn't afford internet nothing so we were just ████ we were just outside saved your life man graphing and ████ smoking graphing I like it graphing no no no you don't get to say that do do you think there's um a level of Calis that forms though like let's say if cuz it's weird for us right we didn't have the whole video and no internet but let's say if now everyone has internet and everyone has seen like

8:29 funny or embarrassing videos of everyone is there like a layer of callus like now this is the norm and maybe these kids aren't as affected as how like the transition kids would have been I think I think there is a level of kis but I think the ones that are prone to killing themselves over it back in the day would still do it now yeah you know what I mean like that that solution which is not really a solution I think is still in play cuz now one thing can go viral and like you're from Burbank but some guy in ████ India yeah what an idiot he's the catalou guy cuz things go viral like crazy yeah that's why I think it's that's true cuz back then you could just like swap schools in the same city and then like you won't really know hey but if if you could survive that and like handle it okay you know honestly for sure it'll be

9:21 pretty cool but also I think because now that cyber is into play um I think some things blow out of proportion a lot easier like maybe the original person didn't mean for this to happen but back in the day when you spread rumors it was like everybody was like doing it together but then here something could just be misplaced it could be on a USB that it shouldn't have been on and the wrong person gets it and then it just goes to the whole world and it's like oh ████ I that was an accident you know what I mean like who ████ knows man you get hacked what up guys thank you for watching us for so long if you like what we do please support our patreon Joe tell them what we have to offer so every week you get two videos one never relased director's cut and another one too hot for YouTube patreon only every freaking week you get that and you get access to our Discord where you can come

11:03 didn't do it until my 30s like no like I didn't ████ I didn't I had my name was Joe Joe Oh I thought it was like tagger Joe at hot. got him T Joe S but I I I didn't have my full name I didn't have any information online yeah a lot of yeah a lot of people like they did the same thing and I just thought it was the CRA but then we were trained to like be skeptical but now like everyone does you know you do your Banking online you do everything online right so then I think they're too um relaxed mhm so I'm like maybe they just I don't know like record everything send foot like the and then they're they're not growing up being kind of cautious about what they put online would you want to be a kid in this day and age ████ no cuz I definitely would not want

11:54 to be with the technology now too much pressure too much pressure no iPads are sick dude but the games though the games we grew up on man they get boring after a little bit you have to admit the games now are way better now oh man the games are crazier yeah yeah but also I think it's that's what's messing up our kids heads is how crazy the games are now games video games but you know they were saying the same ████ about us like all those kids watch cartoons all day going to fry their brains all those kids play games it's the same ████ dude Ed and Edie that was after my time yeah nobody Watch Ed no Dam y old you know funny there was a article in like the 1800s and they were talking about how when books became like super easy to

12:47 like buy cuz it was it became cheaper everybody started like getting into novels and ████ right so they're like no one's talking to each other on trains anymore everyone's just bearing their heads in their books and whatever I'm like that's the same ████ they say about cell phones something that's true it's like yeah maybe you don't want to talk to the person on the train cuz they're ████ boring and dumb and this book is just way better like I don't know I do think there's a difference between a book and then someone on their cell phone looking at midgets flying across the screen cuz I feel like it was the curve was like like no one know how to read everyone started reading people got smarter and then now we're really ████ dumb yeah dud cuz now you're just like dude those are some ████ fat pits right there like yeah booty

13:39 midgets yeah it's all the stuff that's not good for you like in your face cuz I used to I used to equate them so like the same and then I realized like oh sometimes the other thing is just a endorphin drip you know it's it's not even about what you're looking at you just need something yeah like a dopamine right it's that it's not really like you know it's like it's like uh is it uh Jesse M was saying this one thing before about how like once you catch yourself jacking off just cuz you're bored it's a problem yeah it's like are you really horny or you are you just you just want to feel something you know and then it's like uh what's good what's good what do you think what's a what's a balance to jacking off I mean I thought you jacked off because you were bored yeah that that's why you did right like no I mean like you get horny you get horny cuz that's the part sometimes people don't even get the horn

14:30 oh you just start touching yourself they just want to feel something when they're not even like triggered by anything they're just like I just want to feel well I mean chimpanzees D ████ play with their dingler all the time and they're bored yeah and they sniff and smell it and ████ yeah they poke they poke daddy gorillas in a butthole and then they smell but that but that's what reminds me of like you know the choice of reading reading a book or like something that actually has a very like you actually come off as a changed person versus I just need to occupy my mind so I don't depress myself cuz there's that too you know like people don't want to be their thoughts so they just need to look at ████ it's just different forms of escapism but who has time to read a book I don't know a guy that wrote a book especially in California man you like ████ got to go traffic two hours oh got to do a laundry takes 3 hours that's why audio books are Game Changer bro I can't man I'm looking at random cars in the freeway for no reason it's just not

15:21 it's just not going to comprehend I think like know it's weird if you bring that kind of if you if you bring that to bullying right what they're trying to do is eliminate any type of like aggression or or or exposure to like opposition or whatever but I think that's setting up your kid up for failure but on the other hand I know what they're trying to do is like they're trying to control it to where you know kids get killed from bullying you know like or like it gets ████ up to the point where like now this kid's like living his life with crazy issues because of how severe it was cuz there's no like it's almost like discipline like how do you create a system that's standardized that gives people enough pressure where they can experience this

16:12 social skill and be like okay I know how to deal with bullies now now when I go into the real world I could deal with aggressive guys or whatever but I'm like but what they're trying to do is eliminate it and create this false reality to where when they grow up they're going to get ████ ████ eaten yeah and but but I think the one of the things that it's hard to I guess like when you now that we've grown up right if you look back and really think about some of these people you bullied like I always think of this one kid uh I I basically started going to school with him from age five and I saw him all the way to to eighth grade he's just the dumbest kid the slowest kid he smelled he was like uh annoying he was poor just like things that aren't his fault but like he was getting bullied because of these tra yeah you can't bully for those things but he never Rose above all the

17:03 way up until that's what I mean is like some people they're destroyed from that point cuz usually like their lives already suck but then people making fun of them even harder exactly and then that's what I think they're trying to prevent so that this kid doesn't off himself or whatever cuz you know how some people when they're faced with that type of bullying and they overcome it they become the ████ sickest people but more than that most people kind of don't and they just start sucking worse and I think like I'm I'm like still friends with this guy and he's still a ████ loser it's sad and it's like I watched him get me fun of for like nine straight years and like and there's this one time where he almost ████ did it because we had a geography be and he got like second place but everyone was like n he cheated he's stupid he must have cheated and everybody just called him a cheater he can't even win had a geography be

17:54 where you can't even cheat wow so they so he almost like had that moment of like oh I'm actually not stupid but then no one let him have it you know and I think like from there he just he's like always depressed he always looks a mess he's he looks 30 years older than me like slob just like really you're still bullying his ass I'm still bullying no I just I keep in touch with him a little bit but this dude is just so consistently sad I've never seen one good thing happen in his life I feel like also there's certain traits about people that makes you want to bully them bully them yeah it makes you want that's true that's true I agree I think there's something very human about that and I'm not saying this to justify it that but there is something innate where if we're completely honest with ourselves we look at someone and we

18:44 go ████ you I'm going to ████ talk ████ to you cuz there's something about you that's off and it's making me feel weird yep yeah and he like get away from me you got a ████ up face yeah or or just like bullying the right Behavior into someone yeah he like dude why the ████ do you stink like why do you stink so much know a good question we he's like I don't know why I S so much for that kid I we we always thought he was ████ his pants cuz he just like smelled like ████ but then like by seventh grade we learned that he had hosis like he had the clinical sticky breath he had it was his breath but he just it made his whole like self stink what that's the but he couldn't help it like he just had his health was just real ████ he didn't have like siblings to help him D he had an older sister who has nothing like him I don't know what she couldn't like help him a little bit like she's too much

19:34 older she she had she was in she was in eighth grade by the time we were in like first grade she was like out yeah damn but then like I just think about like people like that like he wasn't he wasn't a bad guy I totally agree with bullying people who are ████ ████ cuz I think that's what they get but then this dude never hurt anybody but I watched him live through bullying for n straight ear and he turned out exactly what you would think would happen to a guy who never fights back I think I think when people talk about when bullying is good though it's the point that you just brought up about ████ that need to get checked because there's like smart aliy mean like condescending and like they're just like always making a ████ snarky remark and then it's like dude shut the ████ up and then and then they get it right and they're like what and then they play victim but it's like but you've been kind of a bully I almost think that you can't be against

20:26 sexual harassment and bullying I think you have to be for bullying if you don't like sexual harassment cuz that's what gets a lot of guys to stop acting like that it's cuz they end up ostracized they end up super bullied by other men and then they start they stop being ████ idiots because if they hear it from other women it's not it's not they're not going to stop yeah they don't stop because of women they stop because yeah other dudes have to check up exactly so he's gay then yep that's what I was thinking the whole time yeah then you have to stop bullying him immediately or else it's homophobic I I think bullying is the answer to a lot of things that people complain about well yeah how do you think humans like checked each other socially and regul like Villages and like communities yeah violence no literally like how do you think America got to take how do you stop bad guys is through violence you don't ████ stop

21:16 Bad Guys by begging them to not hurt you right that's weak mhm yeah but I do think like what is the like people are still trying to defend I mean Define what the limit is of bullying of like when is it too far when is it cuz what sound it sounds like your homie went through some ████ up ████ and it's like oh that's kind of too far but then some people you hear stories and then you're like sobbing about how they used to be bullied and then you're like yeah but I remember you you're a ████ ████ to everyone you deserve people talking ████ to you being mean to you cuz you kept being mean to everybody else and then they don't know that and I think a lot of these folks out there that are like oh I was bullied as when I was young and it's cuz you have a ████ victim mind and you didn't know what a what a dick face you were and everyone was so annoyed of you it's honestly like how everyone like there's some people who visualize every homeless

22:07 person they see as being a ████ amazing guy when he wasn't homeless it's like no some some people have ████ up so consistently so that they could just end up there sometimes like come on don't support bums you're you're a pretty good summer oper that's exactly what we said
