0:00 yeah maybe she actually likes when you tell her how stressed out you are and I I think it's been making me feel better that is a woman thing like they want you to talk about you know like cuz you don't want to be the guy who always talks about their problems all the time and you're like Jesus [Laughter] [Music] be welcome to Steve show here we got another amazing episode of the careful boys and you know what it's that time of the year again well we got we got period I know Nick hates this please don't do it but it is July July another quarter has passed oh we got check we're supposed to check in with each other in on Nick hey when you first started Nick it took you like 15 minutes to finally get to a story about yourself yeah now it
0:51 takes him about a minute cuz he he was busy bullying yeah who's I bullying dude I'm not bullying nobody crazy I get bullied that's kind of my on the show let's check it on Nick bullied I think so speaking from somebody who gets bullied on the show do you really feel like you I think I get bullied from who he gets the most bullied on the he gets the most you get bullied on this show yeah you get attention that's it's cuz you're the hottest guy we had to puncho first of all stop don't even hit me with even the way you put your hand out like that I don't like that wow oh yeah I ran into Gilbert at Tokyo Fried Chicken in downtown like yo dude what's up and he's like yo congrats on the mov don't kill Fried Chicken Water Park closed huh yeah uh I think it's closed because they moved to downtown so everybody go to downtown because it's bomb.com over there that's what happened I thought they gave up he's talking about oh you moved to Vegas blah blah I was thinking about it y y y blah all these reasons
1:42 and he I can't believe people were moving out there he's like Steve convin you I was like no Steve actually doesn't give anybody Bart is the one who's convincing everybody and then we had he's like is Nick going to move blah he's talked about yeah yeah and then both of us at the same time we're like no he's probably not going to move and literally at the same time they like she's too ████ and we said at the same time cracked up so hard you guys are bullying me behind my back say to your face I wish I could be one of the ones that said she he's too ████ what the ████ um yeah probably I want to have that moment with you can we see it in three one two one he's too ████ I would like you say my name first you say my name first oh Nick a ████ all right 3 two one Nick a ████ that felt so good actually he's all tough on the outside but on the inside he's like I can't move to Vegas it's too scary did you do single cloes you could move to Hawaii with me I want to move to Hawaii that
2:33 sounds way me and talking I also live in Vegas so technically yeah I've been battling this homeless guy that's been sleeping outside my house for a little bit just like haai was a new guy he pulled up a mattress and he's sleeping inside of my front like area so and and the whole time I'm thinking I'm like we got to get the ████ out of here dude we got to move yeah how much more of that do you need to actually do it well first cuz we can round them all up and tell them your address they're they don't need to cuz they're just kicking it outside anyway um honestly it's our timeline's a little different man because it's uh Tiff has to do some medical stuff before we even start planning for that try to stabilize her health first yeah bro we got to we got to deal with some we got some upcoming events we got some surgeries coming up so we got to kind of get through that first and then and we
3:24 talked about that cuz I think I don't want to say a lot of things are on hold right now but it kind of is on hold like it is if you have like one major issue yeah like all our focus is on that right now so it's it's kind of hard to uh I don't want to say think about the future but it's in the next month we have we have to go back to Cleveland again for another surgery Vegas is closer to Cleveland it is it is the flights will probably be cheaper and that airport is way better too Harry Reid for known as McCaron is pretty sick oh it's not it's not McCarron anymore no forly don't is why did it change everyone still calls it that locally but what ████ terminal can you like go oh you know what kill some time I'll play some slots I like the I like the uh the mon rail in there yeah that's pretty tight oh yeah yeah you know that's probably a way better feature than the terminal train that takes you from one terminal to the
4:14 I hate being on it I hate having to use it but I like that it's there and it's fast especially when you're you have a connecting flight when you got from T3 to T1 baggage claim I'm a local yeah CL T1 T4 what else is going on with in your life it's having to come to ████ JK all the time dude dude no um how's linard it's good it's busy it's really busy and I just feel like right now I'm just uh being a little stretched out a little bit I feel like I need to kind of spend more time what's the first thing you cut JK nte train no probably not nte training honestly probably training clients yeah yeah like in person isn't that your main bread and butter or do you feel like it's shifted no it is it is that's my main bread and butter but it's like such a podcaster now you but no not even dude it's like we do it a couple times a month but like you know capping my schedule like 1:00 so then I could do all the other stuff I need to do like what errands yeah honestly bro
5:07 these ████ dogs got to go to the bank these dogs got food for less or something honestly as boring as my life is yeah that's a lot of it what is your is your day like packed like what is it like what when when do you start your day and then when do you get to like turn your brain off so to speak to relax I usually start my day around like 6:00 a.m. 5:30 sometimes and then I got to take care dogs before I leave to go train clients and then I'll come back around um depending your 11 or 12 okay you should probably cut the dogs or keep going yeah I got to get rid of dog honestly I got to get rid of the dogs let's get rid of one um but it's just taking them out I just you know I love those little ████ and then just cooking I got to cook for I got to cook lunch for us and then I got to go back to the gym cuz your lady works from home yeah she works from home and I got to cook sometimes and then I got to you get that grab lunch there every day sometimes that's pretty cool yeah it's
5:57 pretty sweet but then I got to go back to the gym this is the most boring video ever and then I got to go train clients from like 4 to 4 to I don't get back till like 9:30 at night and then wait what happened to the first five set eight hours I said I'm training clients train clients train clients from like s to like oh June one do you wait for the weekends to go to Costco so you can spend forever in there I actually should go to Costco I don't go to Costco I go on Mondays no I'm not going to go I'm honestly I want to I want to go everyone's been telling me the Costco that aren't in aamra are just way better more efficient I'm about to go drive all the way to San Chinese people ruin they ruin it wait you don't have a you don't have a Costco in the your area I do but it's like I ████ hate going there it's the worst what's wrong with the Costco in Al what do they do bro it's just so crowded the part you know dude
6:47 you everything you hate about Chinese people imagine times 10 in a supermarket oh so like imagine like oh ████ this this but you look at it yeah I'll be Chinese look at it you know what I don't like about Chinese people EXC me I'm at this or something's on sale something's on sale they'll ████ they're boxing out yeah it's like they're also like Hawk and lugies at you no one can ████ drive like ████ everyone the parking lots a mess bro the aisles and the the shopping carts are a ████ mess they're parking the the the the shopping carts horizontally in the ████ Theo think about Chinese people on plane aisles that ████ land you know Chinese people with ████ crab legs at the buffet like that everywhere that's my CRA legs yeah that's my reference point always samples ████ free samples it's like oh want to try this new hot dog no everyone's like oh this
7:37 is pretty good hey every everybody come here everybody everybody come here here go here go it's like the whole family's there like what the ████ bro Tak all pass them out hey you guys try these hot dogs uh anyways and then dude I'm in the gym till like 9:30 most nights and I come home and I cook dinner backto back clients s days a week not like that I say this but isn't it time to maybe just like raise your rate so that that's what I'm going to do I'm going to do that so I can block out a good chunk of time didn't we have the same conversation like a year ago we did and then the year before bro I'm one of those guys I have to run into the wall 50 million times to be like you know what maybe Anthony Lee was right that's what I hey uh uh why you so stupid do you trade hey do you trade seven days a week uh sometimes if I'm not here then I'll take Sunday
8:28 off but when I'm here I'll work Sunday mornings to ACC if every like let's imagine that you raised your rate right and every one of your clients was like great what how much of a raise do you think you're thinking and remember every streaming service every year raises their rate yeah for sure but that's the other thing though too is like I always have this weird thing of like oh I want to you know make sure I could accommodate all my clients but now I'm at a point where I'm like bro I'm burning myself out and I feel like I can't even provide a good service what's an amount that will make you feel guilty what's an amount yeah like percentage I try to help you with business all the time but you refuse like double is just once again I'm a ████ idiot um well I think nowadays like in the LA area people charge like $150 $200 an hour yep I thought that's that was standard for private yeah but he charges $25 I do I
9:18 do 75 I do like 75 cents on the dollar um but now yeah I'm at a point now where I'm like yeah I just I don't want to do that anymore what is your hourly rate it's like 85 to 100 all right this is what you do depending on how fat this is what you do okay oh man okay now listen for the clients you say hey you've been around for a while I have to ████ increase my rates but here's the thing um if you can't afford it this is what we're going to do I'm going to start doing group classes and for those that you want to be grandfathered into that rate you come between these hours so those hours now you double triple quadruple that same hour cuz now you could do two to four people at one point you don't have to be there ████ watching them do reps of 10 what up guys thank you for watching us for so long if you like what we do please support our patreon Joe tell them
10:09 what we have to offer so every week you get two videos one never release 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 chat with us and ask us questions that become episodes here cuz we're going to answer them and we're going to take it seriously and we want to give you the responses that you want so come stay connected with us join our patreon click the description below for full details yeah I went to Nick's personal class and it lacked it lacked a personal touch and then so you already preface it to them like hey I have to do this cuz I'm getting I just have too many people now I can't ████ do this if you can't afford the rate this is your alternative for those of the people that can and you can't they can't afford it then you ████ bump it up to 150 and then you
10:59 tell them I'm going to give you the white glove hand to hand I'll even give you a hand job at the end yeah yeah and and you discount the rate for the small group people too you know what I mean so they feel like they're getting a deal to join up with other people yeah no that's that's definitely an option for sure that you're not going to do you're not going to do yeah you're not going to do I'm not going to do at least two more years I don't like how Joe was yelling at me and you could check the decb they went up a little bit and I'm not yelling at you I'm frustrated at you can can you have a hey can you make a tear can you make a tier that's more comedy based it's always comedy based Bud um the other thing though too is like it comes with a standup show yeah it's like comedy I'm just unsure the whole time uh comedy you know those have you ever seen those comedy tracks I went to Comedy traffic school that ████ was funny as ████ was it yeah it was at Denny's no
11:50 I'm in I'm in you sold me and it was actually legit like they'll like wave a ticket after you go to this they have every type of traffic school you can think of there's clown traffic school there's all kinds if you look it up yeah maybe I should do clown personal training it help it help makes it more bearable what the ████ nothing be watching a clown get disaster say that I'll just smash watermelons in the gym or something at what point in your training thing is you doing Jiu-Jitsu coaching well usually I do well a lot of my clients are some of them are Jiu-Jitsu guys striking and then personal training too oh so it's a mixture of ha and it it keeps it fun because if I do too much of one thing I want to blow are you able to teach are you able to teach Jiu-Jitsu well over like video like computer when you're doing those so nowadays like the the it's all it's all like um instructionals
12:41 so we we've definitely been trying to develop some instructionals that I could put online on my website so people can buy it so that's the thing that I've been spending a lot of my time on is doing more of the online stuff so like online instructionals so people could just buy it and then for and it lowers the barrier for entry you know so people the get choked program yeah yeah how to get tapped out a million times do you want to get knock are you having trouble getting knocked out by your sparing partner knock the ████ out that's Prett Co how to take a punch are you hiding your chin a little too much yeah so like it'll be that'll be my video series probably damn dope man you know it it's tight to hear though that you are getting stretched out as a hot commodity because there was also an earlier uh season of this show when we were talking about you like it was probably post pandemic where you're like picking up clients and trying to like fill in your slots and stuff yeah too
13:32 much free time or whatever so I want to say too much free time what the ████ to way too much leure you called it Leisure type hey ████ you guys I was always working dude you were kind of desperate for money or something like that like bringing up pay raises all the time hey man you want to get trained for free I'll train you but but it's dope to see that because like the uh everybody who uh is is chasing that success and like gets to a certain point like they do start having to measure and evaluate like the time is money thing so like I feel like that's where I'm at too where I'm like I got to that's a great problem I got to balance my time with my f cuz you know Tiff is always like bro you're never home and it's true wow don't make her sound like that you know what I did at one point when I was uh my mom says that to me too when I was mainly just teaching dance work shops especially in the beginning uh I used to do this thing because like maybe it's because the dance industry had like less of a a
14:22 clear I guess like structure and like how things happen everything was kind of happening for the first time traveling internationally teaching these like hour and a half long work shops so I would like have my rate and I'd be like throwing it out there cuz I was doing my own bookings and stuff be like I'll do this much for a class and people like all right cool and I'd be like ████ did I charge too little but I'd also be so so shocked so then when I would go to these like random countries and stuff I would also be that guy who like at the bar would talk to like one of the other teachers and she be like hey like once we cozied up like yo can I ask you a personal question like what's your rate and in my mind if I knew that I could at least do a good enough job or maybe even better than that teacher in a different way every single time I ask these questions and I found out I could raise my rate that's what I would raise it to yeah cuz you know you're always just battling the market so if you're sitting there saying like everybody charges like 100 150 to 200 I had a jitu coach that
15:15 charged me 100 bucks an hour and he gave me Co that sounds like a good deal he gave you recommended him he gave you her immunity honestly he gave and this say he gave us Co probably and I was I was supposed to be there and I didn't get it and this is a 100 bucks back in like 2019 yeah that's a big deal that's a lot of money but just saying like it really does sound like he doesn't know his worth I think that's what this conversation is about yeah yeah I think tomorrow I think tomorrow 150 yeah change rates tomorrow dude tomorrow just just ████ these people over Dude right away don't even don't give them any War J remember the whole world we're all just like small pegs on this this giant peg board especially in our own country right it's like inflation yeah if inflation's Rising then also minimum W is rising so it's not like anything makes sense but like everything's trying to react to like if you don't react or
16:07 respond you're going to get ████ I'm paying $10 for an Americano you know what I mean that's a that's a that's a you really should man when for my Studios I raised my rates when inflation went up and I lost like half my clients and I had to put it back down so yeah you should do it I lost my half my clients I had to close down well here's the thing if you raise your rates to that point right if you're charging 85 bucks right now even if half of them leave you're still doing okay yeah for sure and then now you can work oh half of them will leave half as much the time you're still going to you're not spread thin and then everybody's talking about how you're like really concentrated on them you can do a better job like you said and then that's better referrals yeah so a lot of my mentality was like you just got to be in the gym you just got to ████ you know as much as you can as much as you can volume volume volume but not I think that served me for like my early 20s and like my late 20s but now it's like I
16:58 can't do that anymore field it's interesting cuz you know for sure there's a guy way worse than you with no following and no success is charging over you yeah it's just the black dude with a six-pack I know dude he doesn't know what the hell he's teing you guys are killing me so specific no there's so honestly the fitness there's so many Just Jack dudes n for real they don't know what they're doing but they look good so people think that hey I won't be like you you must know what you're doing but then all their clients have no progress yeah that's the hard thing I literally yesterday saw this uh I don't want to say his last name do you know Olympic weightlifter name is Kendrick no okay that's pretty specific you're obvious talking about black guy this guy he is a Olympian right he's that compete at the highest levels now it's more specific and then yeah and then he was teaching on his video he's like hey
17:48 don't waste your time doing curls make sure you make it a functional movement and curl and also press up because it gives a better stretch and I was like stretch on what exactly I'm like this guy is literally the best athlete and the worst coach at the same time but because of his accolades they'll be like sign me up sign me up he's the man he knows zero exercise signs you know what's funny though is people don't seek out his coach top Olympian but that's what they say though like why don't they seek out his coach his coach is the one that that happens a lot I don't know really with people that are like certified like good at that's why you want to learn how to dunk from white guy they can't jump and they got there oh imagine a Filipino guy teaching you to dunk yeah you're like dude this guy's been dunking since the eighth grade you're not going to learn ████ from them yeah that's like when you take you know
18:38 in high school when you have Spanish class and the teacher was like a native Spanish speaker and she can't understand why you don't get it yeah yeah yeah that's the worst that's like all my math teachers they're all so smart they're so good at teaching they're so good at math and they trying to teach it you're like are you ████ ████ you can't figure this out honestly learning had a dunk from a white guy is probably one of the greatest lines you just put out right now dude honestly all all the performance like d coaches they're all white guys that can dunk that learn how to Dun they got themselves there yeah they trained themselves to dunk to D yeah you want that guy you don't want you want Michael Jordan to be your coach it's cuz they got those jump shoes on East Bay yo first of all I was hella jocking those for a long time cuz I couldn't afford we thought that was our passage to the to the rim for they got little trampoline yeah I was too scared I was going to break my fingers I I'm serious I don't think you actually know how famous you have gotten
19:28 in the past P three years you're on our Channel you're with ████ us and and and so think about when you get the clientele right now they're going around and saying you know who's my ████ coach Nick is my coach and around their friends are like oh my God you have that guy coaching you isn't he the gay guy on JK hey his car says he's the deep throat King hey serious question serious question for real if a guy was to ask you hey I'll pay you the training fee mhm to teach me how to be funny would you do it what the ████ if that's really what he asked yeah I don't know if I could teach that you just you just know it it's like Michael Jordan teaching a guy basketball he's just no I wouldn't
20:18 know where the I would honestly Michael Jordan probably be a horrible coach honest answer if somebody asked me that I would get really uncomfortable and change the subject I that's a real question because like you should teach them you could teach that you really you really would be like disgusted at how many times people message JK account saying that you're the funniest one I'm disgusted you would be like you would cringe at that but they're wrong D you should send them all to him nah dude don't do that he doesn't check his ████ I would you should you should tell them that if they just PID $1 199.99 oh that's good so cheap yeah Nick's comedy School the class that would be so good it'll be one hour every week of Nick just dodging question honestly you guys are the one that told me I was a deflector and I was like I guess I am a deflector no don't say that you have to deflect it yeah I'm not ████ you guys
21:08 you guys change the subject just change the subject you guys don't know anything can't get don't tell us anything personal damn this was a good Nick check episode yeah see dude margar LLC man yeah hey see you next quarter opportunity don't tell us your personal ████ for another quarter I'm not going to say ████ anymore no your value girl you know me and TP had this conversation yesterday she goes I like it when you tell me things I go oh ████ because I I guess for like a whole like like a whole like month and a half I just was like I guess I do this I'm learning a lot about myself where I just internalize whatever I'm feeling and I just don't say a ████ word you know what I mean yeah and me and Tiff have been having a little more heart tohe hearts and we' been talking about it she's like kind of stuff do you talk about I kind of like when you share and open up about your feelings and I go oh feelings let's ████ yeah what's that like is that like you like pastrami sandwiches then you really really like it you like the Hat yeah and then you I haven't told you
22:00 this but I like putting a lot of mustard on it yeah maybe she actually likes when you tell her how stressed out you are and ████ and I I think it's been making me feel better and I think it's a net positive overall so maybe I won't be a deflector that to I that is a woman thing like they want you to talk about you know like it's that thing where in our minds it's like I don't want to trouble her with this ████ yeah but it's like no they want they want to be there for you cuz you don't want to be the guy who always talks about their problems all the time and you're like Jesus Christ going be a ████ ████ bit
