0:00 trickery you just gave me a ████ frosting with cinnamon roll and you're like do you like your two-part food I'm like I think that's one food [Music] welcome back everybody to another amazing episode of the careful boys where we are currently off the Record the record all right okay this is a I'm nervous two-part OTR prompt two parts all right no no no one part for her one part first a b yes daily ideas again to his face let's do that one where where they asked if you had a knife in your back or a dick in your butt which one you pull out first that's the first question probably the dick in the butt so the three biggest three parts that's the first

0:50 part there's another two part after that if everybody wants to just answer that real quick you rather die before being gay I'm gonna pull it I'm gonna pull the dick out first for sure not because I don't like it but because if you got a knife in your back and you pull out what if you start bleeding that's well that's my question is is it the same perp is the guy stabbing your back while humping you or is someone humping you and then another person goes get off my boyfriend and he stabs the back accidentally the context is important yeah is the knife already inside or is it like more of like hey don't move and it's on the outside it's in your back and you're like ah I think it's in because the penis isn't just like hanging out by the butthole just ████ it they're both in yeah if the dick in my back is friendly I would ask him to remove it when he was removing himself

1:43 all right so I would leave the knife in for sure because of Bart what BART said yeah oh oh yeah I didn't think about that try to take the dick out I thought you're just homophobic and you just want to dig out no no no yeah okay all right so I asked uh recently uh and and uh somebody came back uh for I asked for OTR prop suggestions and this one was submitted by a Janie dang all right so two-parter listen to part one all right think about this think about your most difficult time during your teenage years all right so one explain what your most difficult time was and then part two is what advice would you now give that team oh and why is this two parts did you not hear me split up the parts Oh I thought that was one part I see

2:38 you just gave me a ████ frosting with cinnamon roll and you're like do you like your two-part food I'm like I think that's one food right you're gonna you're gonna take the frosting off and go here's the cinnamon without the frosting and here's the frosty that's ████ weird don't let them wiggle his way around yeah I can't imagine anyone going do you like your two-part food oops Yeah we'll try the two-part food it's like prime rib and then they go here's the uh juice sauce you're not even sweating Anthony I was listening okay and I sounded like a one-part food but then he was chewing food too two-part food man so maybe that's why I didn't hear it he wants a setup in a slam dunk so the setup is okay think about when you were in a depressed little teen and you thought life was over and then you were in a dark time and then the slam dunk is

3:30 what the ████ would you tell and slap the sense into that dumbass kid thank you you're welcome that sounds like a single one Cinnabon though right yeah uh so I had I had acne as a teen and stuff and that was really annoying and like super like really bad yeah it was bad it wasn't as bad as like so I had like I had like a younger brother who like had it way worse than me but I was also like obsessed with trying to fix it and I don't think he was as proactive as I was Haha a little fun um but then thank you um but but that ████ didn't work on me actually I but I tried everything I tried like everything and the only thing that ended up working for me for me ████ was Accutane and and every time I talk about acting people go people kill themselves on nicotine and like you know maybe that is true but it works for people who really

4:20 need it and bro in my opinion people already ████ in the head from what acne does to your head that you know yeah maybe they killed themselves because not working hard because of the first reaction you have to Accutane which is your face explodes a little bit and then it ends up clearing up because your face is adjusting but I always had this problem of excess oil like my ████ skin would just continuously produce oil like I remember when I first started dating Nikki even I used to have to take it like go from Maker Studios take a shower at home real quick before I saw Nikki because my skin my skin like probably an hour and a half after is already starting to get oily and I had to do I had to do four tours of Accutane to finally make myself a crystal Factory huh yeah wow were you taking after 10 when you're dating Nikki or no yeah I I got myself some Accutane from like India and I had

5:10 it sent over is it cheaper there it was way cheaper and then yeah and then my health insurance sucked too so I didn't want to go through that because it was going to be more expensive so I got it sent from India and I just like guinea pig myself with it because I don't recommend doing that by the way but um but I I just that was my last tour with it and then my skin finally stopped over producing so P Diddy really got to um you know P Diddy really got to you on those commercials I remember those Oh I thought it was P Diddy was doing all the brand deals for it it's been proactive oh proactive oh proactive didn't work on me it actually made my skin more oily which was insane you don't have any acne scars yeah your skin is crazy I got lucky man but um I I you had a lot I was obsessed with Wow getting my skin right so yeah that's pretty cool that you don't have any like lasting things yeah it runs like some members of my family they have it really

6:00 bad where they have the ████ scars and ████ from it and I just didn't know what that was like because none like it was either some people had it really bad in my family or nobody had it at all yeah I had a rough and then I remember um but people have had way worse than me but then I I just I think my biggest thing is that uh that I would tell myself I guess uh it's just like enjoy life a little bit more like this will go away one day and you will wish that you went to more things because I used to not go out yeah ruins your whole like idea yeah yeah for sure I would avoid lights like this in fact to this day lights like this giving anxiety when you first come in here because I just remember oh how it accentuates yeah it makes your skin look way worse yeah so like and it was just over for like a decade or like when you take group pictures with people under bad lighting yeah yeah awful so yeah that was a big one for me also I had a

6:51 girlfriend one time tell me you people like to comment on my smile and pictures sometimes but I mean this one yeah exactly so so this is I'm about to dunk on him so hard right [Laughter] no so um my I had a girlfriend tell me not to smile in pictures because she doesn't like my smile and that was my first girlfriend what a ████ I know so then after that I just I don't know how to get my head to smile normally oh my unless I'm like laughing at stuff like people there's plenty of memes of me laughing and stuff like a candid one it's fine but then if you're at the pose for one holy ████ wait let's just try it this is a video it's not a photo try it just try it with the teeth with the teeth show the teeth show your teeth Steve show the teeth I have to be silly I have to be silly right yeah I don't know how to like psychologically I just can't like because I was at such a vulnerable state

7:42 right well you have such a nice smile Agony kid oh thank you bro no acne kid don't smile in photos I don't like to take photos because I'm an acne kid and then it was just like oh ████ and then the whole time you had a bad smile that's crazy for someone to say that yeah don't smile in pictures that's wild yeah thank you for opening up oh no problem no problem good prompt good prompt but yeah just I would say I would say just experience things more because you aren't going to remember it as much obviously I remember it but you're not gonna like you know you're gonna have more memories than you do of like not being out right seems like you're not gonna remember it still doesn't smile in photos to this day it still gets his right accused it's like in there now yeah yeah that makes sense so yeah I'm glad I'm glad you made fun of my smile that was awesome I said it was nice clip that and delete it actually I think

8:32 the hardest time for me was when uh I think like sophomore year of high school is when I started to drop in grades and I had such a really severe tethered uh value of good grades means like good enough person and then like I think I just got so distracted by other creative things that I I like wanted to do music I wanted to do so many other things and I just wasn't understanding math very well because I didn't have a good teacher and then um and then I really was like my self-esteem was like super ████ because I was like damn if I'm not good at school and to me the school's everything which is like what they indoctrinate into your mind that like I just had no value like as a human I was like God damn it like there's nothing I

9:23 can do in this world because I didn't know when nobody had ever come into my life to tell me there was anything else to do so uh at that point like I think I wasted a lot of time just being really sad about that which is funny because I think that strained my relationship with my sister too because my sister's super smart and she was a big uh what is it like a big figure in my life that would remind me that I was not smart we were competitive in a weird way so she was how many years apart are you guys two years she was two years older than me she's like I ████ did that ████ already yeah she was like in your shoes super smart and like she was like always yeah she always had like the best grades that and we went to the same high school and everything and then like she would always remind me that like oh you don't know any of this like you're done she would rub it in your face yeah and it's like hard because when you have

10:14 grades it's such a it's such uh what is it called like it's like objective yeah yeah objective result of your brain and uh and and then it it all changed I think like there was this principle my senior year we had this one principal who was only there for two years and he had uh done this thing where like there was this one award that they were giving a student and he chose me to get it and I my GPA was like ████ one point some ████ and he gave me the award and I had to go to this like award ceremony at this like Bavarian like place with all these like random people and it was just for he thought I was the most creative student wow and then that changed my like perspective of like oh there's a value in like having ideas and like just kind of value being being able to play every single song over here yeah yeah but that's like like even that that like

11:05 that's the crazy thing it's like I've been able to do that my entire life yeah only at like age 17 that I feel like it was worth anything right because left brain gets punished exactly yeah it's just crazy I think like what I would tell myself is like the application of what you can do is worth everything yeah and um and it just it makes a big difference to not have a figure in your life that can tell you that do you ever tell your sister now like wait so how many times objectively have you been on TV yeah there's it's like it's all about finding your place are you guys cool now not really I think we still yeah still a ████ she's still trying to rub ████ in your face she tried I think she tries to be a little better but like I think there's always gonna be like we just grew apart at such an early age that it's we're just so on I mean there's

11:55 practitioner now and you'll never catch up to me I'm a practitioner yeah she's freaking super I can't imagine someone not being cool with you that's so entertaining to me and it's your blood you know you're such a chill boy but siblings though you know yeah yeah yeah it's just I wouldn't know but it's like kind of relatable yeah we just we just ended up being Polar Opposites like she's all academic and all like intelligent in that different way and then I I think as a way of trying to reconcile with myself how much I wasn't good at that I wanted to be better at alternative things it's so funny I think you're probably the smartest person in this room honestly that's like I would never thought I would hear that from anybody like for my whole like youth life I was like dude I'm the dumbest one everywhere like I really like thought that I mean this room is not a smart room the bar is pretty low our Collective IQ is pretty low

13:02 that's the crazy thing it's all about what someone like if you have one ████ per like if someone had been a great example to you and he's like look at my skin I'd go out I do this ████ look at my life it's like just to have that it's like yeah everything man yeah I think my story is kind of like yours where um so growing up I got into a lot of trouble so like first grade got kicked out of school and then third grade got kicked out of school and then I spent fourth fifth and sixth at another school so when you get kicked up so usually in like in the public school system you go to the school that's closest to you right so by the time you get kicked out you're like on the other side of the city you just can't pushed further and further yeah because it's like okay you're all the way over here so now when it's time to so I have a whole new set of friends

13:52 I spent the last three years with what sucks is my best friend that I grew up across the street from were no longer really best friends because we don't hang out that much so it's almost like this theme we're like oh man like I see him every morning like going to this car and we used to be best buds from five all the way until maybe eight now it's like I could see his life and then for his birthday parties he has different friends that come over yeah the ones that I recognize at the school that I went to and then now I'm hanging out with these people from this Elementary School but when you graduate elementary school and you go to Middle School it resets so now you're back at this one yeah so I go to Middle School seventh and eighth grade and I literally know nobody so it's almost like all the friends I just nurtured are going to this school now I go here I don't know anybody there and because I

14:43 was getting in so much trouble my dad was like I want you to be like super Square so uniforms are an optional thing but my my dad was like no you're gonna wear ████ uniforms all five days it used to be I think like four days you wear regular school and then Casual Friday I don't know it was a Friday you wear uniform but the other four was a casual the other days because I think they're trying to slowly assimilate at that time that's really weird it is really weird yeah it is weird and then so everyone's like ████ it's Friday [Laughter] so I don't know so day one of school I already show up with Uniforms on so I'm already the ████ weird kid that one no one knows except the wait don't I know that guy from like 10 years ago so I'm the number one I'm like the ████ lost and found 10 year old kid yeah then I'm the guy

15:33 that's wearing um you're the dork the Dork that's wearing the ████ uniform so I'm outcasted immediately plus this is the 90s so if there's fresh meat there's all kinds of gangs everywhere everyone's punking everybody yeah and so I gravitated towards this these couple of kids that are really into skating and like break dancing and stuff but I think like for some reason like in a diverse School Asian gangs kind of like feel other races are like off limits so they don't really touch them but immediately if it's like Asian dudes in like a locker room then they'll start punching people like for some reason yeah and so um immediately I got down maybe like the first week with people and then just over time I realized to prove my worth because if you fight someone and you are able to

16:25 stand your ground you're like coolness or a legitimacy Factor spreads much faster in almost a day like you can almost change your rep in one day you know you could be the wait who the ████ is that guy to oh ████ that guy just fought that guy and then not everyone kind of just gives you space yeah yeah so like I think I naturally wanted to hang out with this group because they just seem like like they're doing all kinds of like cool ████ like like drawing and like the Arts type stuff and I just realized like but for me to kind of like not get ████ with I have to lean more into this more aggressive behavior and group and then that kind of catapult catapulted me the first half of my high school into gangs because now when you go to high school it's that same residualness and then so now in high school when people really develop stuff like the guy that was like in

17:15 concert band is now a jazz band yeah or the guy that like played three on three basketball is actually playing you know basketball but then if you're the little scrappy kids then it's like oh ████ are you gonna join you're promoting into that next are you gonna join Asian boys you're gonna join Santa no you're gonna actually bang now and it's like it's like so it gets hyper focused into that and during that period I remember having this really weird like separation for myself but that's not me that's not me but that's how I felt was the only way I could survive was like like when we're like robbing houses and doing ████ like that it was like I'm like this is ████ so wrong but I felt like that's the only place I belong so the advice I would tell myself would be like just stick to who you are yeah and it's all gonna work out and it's you're gonna have a much more healthy expression because I think that's what got me crazy into Raves after because I felt like I was so like suppressed from

18:05 feeling feelings that the minute I thought ecstasy I was like oh ████ love everybody and it went from like this to like fighting every day to like that's just home hands we went from fighting every day to keep Juju yeah exactly damn that's crazy what how big of a Crossroads that point is of like which thing do you want to do but you felt compelled to choose one for a reason that wasn't really true to yourself because you like I felt like you started so back already it's already like who's that guy I don't know what the ████ that guy is like oh I remember from kindergarten so there's that and he's also wearing ████ like school uniforms so you felt like you're like 30 feet back yeah versus if you were just a new kid you could be like oh yeah I grew up in ████ Altadena oh cool then like right you're like starting from zero you're remedial because I started from like way back here and then it was like

18:56 Wow and they're like oh that's the kid I knocked the other fool out and they're like yeah I'm the kid yeah wow you know yeah it was like it was like that it's crazy too that you've gone out of all that like and you didn't have like a lot of repercussions like for Robin houses and ████ like you got pretty lucky really lucky well like I wonder what happened to the fool that you knocked out like whatever happened to that yeah what's she up to still in critical yeah no I mean this is like ████ a bunch of 80 pound kids fighting each other yeah yeah it was just a lot of fights back then like I would see locker room fights and especially in PE because it's so unsupervised at least once a day yeah that's when it was time to throw down yeah everyone threw down you I think more people got jumped though than one-on-ones or like one-on-ones would turn into group fights yeah yeah and

19:46 people were just like the older kids like uh the seven eighth grade like you know these like seventh graders like Scrubs yeah yeah it was such a big hierarchy like the eighth grade like you and him and then you just start throwing down and then if you're then it's like do you want to be a big class dude yeah it's like it's like if you don't fight they'll jump you yeah so it's such a thing where it's like okay you and him you and him like who the ████ are you you'll take him and then you just just ████ have to do it you could have just been a jazz drummer in another room
