0:00 we get 2.1 million subscribers, you have to also get a trash bin tattooed on you. Oh, the recycle bin. And then it has to say it has to say self-portrait. Stupid. [Music] Welcome back to another special episode of the Careful Boys. For 18 minutes, we're going to watch Joe try to unicycle. No, no, it's it's it's it's not me. It's Nick. Nick wanted to do it. No, you do it first. I pumped the volume up for Nick. And then go up the ramp. Go up the ramp with it. Dude, that looks very dangerous. You could break a leg bent, man. You could break a leg in here, dude. No, that's fine. Yeah. Don't hit your head on trying to go to BJ's tonight and watch Pat's game. We don't We don't need a bro. We don't need to go to the hospital. Hey, hold on. We Uber you to the hospital. Just ride it like that. No, but it's crooked. Hey, Nick, does that make you feel really reassured right now? Yeah. I
0:51 like how the seat is right. Yeah. Just went like counterclockwise immediately. What happened? It the seat turned to the side. Uh-oh. Or did you break it? Not safe. It looks safe. Unicycle not safe. All right. So Joe, so this is an example like you had said for context. If you didn't see the other video, Bart and Joe wanted to do a sketch back in the day using these unicycles for a driveby. So they're going to hold guns. We were going to we're going to ride unicycles and we're going to go while we're riding it, but we never learned how to ride it cuz it was so hard. We spy you. That we decided to not do the sketch. So Joe, can you share us any other failed sketch ideas? So funny. You know, you could have just like cheated it, right? Like you guys could have been on a bike and then you cut you cut to you guys stopped and then you're sitting on the unicycle firing. Yeah, but we didn't have you back then with genius ideas like that.
1:42 Genius. We had running the ████ Yeah. Yeah. Fair, fair, fair. I think that's what you guys were running. It's like, sorry. Hey, I wasn't running. Okay. You're our employer now. Yeah, but no, I'm not. He said yeah. He said he said California, we got him. We got to clip that. Clip that. Give us a race. State of California help us. We need fair wages out here. Sweat shop boys. Can we get a union in here? We need AC. Do we get time and a half after 8 hours? One. Go. You look like odd job. Now try holding a gun, too. Probably not going to work out too good. Why are your hands on it? This is how you're supposed to start. Why are you turn You're turning the seat again? Read a book, Ken. Oh, that's what that's for. I don't know, man. You want to try? Oh, the seat's turning again. Dude, this is the smallest wheel I've ever seen. It's silence cuz you Yeah, cuz you keep pulling on it for freaking help. There
2:32 you go. You need help. Smart. That's already better than Joe. Already. This is killing Joe. No, dude. You got it. You can do it. You can do it. I have another one. Use your hip. It's all in the hips. Don't break your leg, please. We're trying to go to BJ's, dude. You got nowhere to go. You got to like Yep. Yep. You got to pedal. Got to pedal. Shut up, Ken. paddle. Oh. Oh. Already better than Joe. Already better than Joe. It went that way. Now the chair went left. Anthony, your turn. ████ No. Hey, just go as fast as you can. Like there's no space. No, dude. We got to go to BJ's lane. No, because if you don't go fast, it's not going to stay up. But we're on carpet. I know, but you need more friction. It's good. You need space. Start back here. No, that's not good. Good for the grip for the wheel. Start in the back, dude. No way, dude. Look. Start back here. It just go It just terrible content. Just
3:22 take off. You want to see a bunch of idiots trying to ride a unicycle? You got to let go. Check out this. I don't think that's how it works. Somebody's playing a video game right now and they're like, I I'm going to move to the next video. No, don't click away. Don't Don't click away. They're not talking about anything. They're just like, oh god. Oh, ████ There's the Nick riding a unicycle. Bro, this is really ████ hard. All those listeners, I think I need a bigger wheel, bro. See, no. You need balance. You need balance. That's what we thought. If you're playing a video game, just skip to the next one. Oh. Uhoh. Dude, you almost had it. Uhoh. Oh ████ All right. Honestly, it's not good content cuz I need to stay on. Yeah, I agree. Over here. I don't think I can go fast. They're still going. They're still going to do it. Hold on. Hold on. He's going to He's going to pull Ryan's going to pull this off. The difference is Ryan's willing to eat ████ and that's what you need. Yeah. What's
4:13 crazy is I've never seen anyone on unicycle before. I guess is how we're treating this. ████ this ████ He's got to commit. Got to commit. All right, committing in three, two, got it. He's got it. Three, commit. One, go. The thing's broken. That s███'s hard, dude. Hey, Joe, tell us about more failed sketches. To be honest, I want to lie and make up a good story so it'll be fun. But then like I don't I couldn't think of anything right now. That's cool. Yeah. So feel I mean maybe like the truth could work. I don't I don't really remember. Okay. How about this? So that's an example. So
5:04 that's an example of how like you guys want to do something and you just like wasted money. Okay. What are other ways outside of the LA office that you feel like you wasted money? What are other examples that you just blew ████ stupid money? Oh my god. LA office is good though. I think LA office for sure. And then I think second is the Trump Tower video. Trump Tower. Oh my god. That was a How much money was that room to film inside of four walls and you can't even see the We could have done that anywhere. Anywhere. Could have done that. Why did we do that? I don't know. That was I guess whose idea was that? Um I think it was your guys idea. I wasn't even there and then you guys let me know what the bit was and and then the bit was that I came up with the idea cuz I'm a subject not your guys idea was it definitely was we didn't have we didn't have equity in decision-m
5:54 at all. I just showed up. Yeah. We we officiated Ryan into sometimes that day good ideas come from this place like everybody getting tattoos after we hit 2 million subs. Facts. Facts. And you can't have one without the other. I always forget. I'm not saying everything's terrible. Me and Ryan were just at the lagoon in our neighborhood the other day and uh I looked at him across the way and I saw the tattoo and I I started laughing cuz I always forget that we even have the tattoo. And then I I'm standing next to him and I'm just we're just like we have matching tattoos together at the It's like the most insane thing. Well, that was us at the gym just the other day. This guy's wearing shorts and I was like, "Your tattoo is ugly, man." In my head. And I look down at my ████ and I go, It trips me out. Every time I have to explain the story, it's a whole thing.
6:44 Yeah, it's a whole thing. But it's real fun though at the end. And they every time I explain the story, they all go, "Oh, okay." Yeah. Okay. No, every time I explain a story, it always starts with the same sound effect cuz everybody's like, "Oh, what does that tattoo mean?" And then I always go, "Yeah." Yeah. The deep side. Y Yeah. Cuz you can't just say what it says. Oh, no. You have to give. So my buddy was in the Marine Corps a long time ago. So my buddy was in the Marine Corps 2004. Him and his best friend at the time got this tattoo who's Korean and they're not friends anymore anymore. And he's Chinese and they wanted to get a match tattoo that was of neutral territory. We got colonized by Japan. So let's just go with Japanese. No, you you can't skip that part because you have to provide the fact that they didn't know what it said. I skipped that part. And then they went to a white tattoo artist who doesn't know what it was. I used Google
7:35 Translate. I include that part. I include that part. But I did the Google Translate on my shin the other day and it said fear no one. Hey, it it corrected. No, it still says the wrong thing. It doesn't actually say fear no one. So the same thing that happened to Bart is still happening to us now. But guess what? So Google Translate is still wrong. It's never been up. People will be dumber and this will actually mean I'm not afraid of anybody because less people will know. And then the joke will be lost. Cuz we're going to rely on AI for everything and people are going to get dumber and dumber and dumber. And then guess guess who's going to have the last laugh? Old Steve Green after all. I'm not afraid of anybody. Nope. No one. Not one man. Cuz even Japanese people will read it and be like, "Oh, they're going to check the Google Translate and realize it's fear cuz they cheated through school." Yeah, that's what I think. Damn. I think we're going to have the last laugh after all, boys. Yeah, I
8:25 think we got this one. Yep. Dang. I should have got the tattoo, too. Huh? No. No. Really? You would have done it. I would if you guys asked me to. No way. We're going to ask you to in a different location. Yeah. If we get ████ stamp. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. ████ stamp. If we get 2 million and 50,000 subs, I think you should have Hey, you know what? Harper can right down the chest. Chad, you got to get on your lower back and you're only allowed to wear baby T's. No. Crop top only. I have a baby tea for you. Down your spine. I want it down your spine. On the on the bottom. On the bottom. Lower. Lower. Lower spine. Spine. Right on your L5. down because you know why? Cuz you you're behind the scenes. So that's behind the scenes, guys. They got to be back here behind the scenes. Behind the scenes. That's funny. Yeah, cuz you edit, man. You've always been a part of JK. But behind the scenes, what's gay? What's gay?
9:15 Genuinely, what's gay? That or two guys sucking each other's dicks like right here on your It's not even gay. I genuinely think the one cuz this is a cool on the lower back is gayer for sure. Yeah, cuz it says fear no one in his We get 2.1 million subscribers, you have to also get a trash bin tattooed on you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like an icon. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And And then it has to say it has to say self-portrait. Stupid. Self-portrait. Cuz he's a tra. Oh my god. I thought I thought you were going to say cuz my name is Ken and it's a can. Oh, that's pretty. That would have been That's actually pretty ████ good. I thought that's what you trash can. If I said that, I would have immediately taken a gun and blown my ████ head.

More ways JK wasted money. More ways. More ways JK is wasting money. Oh yeah. Yeah. JK's wasting money. No, we got that. We can list that one ourselves. How about this? We're going to BJ's tonight. That's a big waste of money for that. Of course. Well, I thought Kent's paid for it. Yeah, Ken, you could pay for it. You got to You could probably make way more now. No, it's
10:56 funny cuz he probably makes the most out of this company because he edits all the videos. That's dry. And he alarts all the little editing and he swears a AI can't do it, right? So then he keeps the cost high and ████ I don't use AI for your guys' video. It's impossible. If they would have probably done a better job, once AI is ready, dude, you're so ████ And you know, Yeah, dude. We're going to fire you. Yeah, but someone still has to edit it. No, I like the little comedy ████ the whole team does though. Someone still got done. Done in this town. Take that trash and put yourself in it. I think his ████ editing team is the highest expense. So, we got to cut that ████ man. That's the highest expense. Well, aside from you guys, but you guys are you guys are necessary expense, so it's okay. So, the editing is not necessary. Thank you.
11:47 We're worthy. It means a lot. It's higher than the rent. Yeah, the editing's higher than the rent. Oh, yeah, for sure. Because it's a lot of videos by percentage. How many vacations you got to go on, brother? Zero. I went on zero. Hey, by percentage, how much were you paying uh old old staff versus old cast versus this cast? Not that different. No, not that much different. Yeah. Well, excluding the bonuses. I mean, Steve's been around for that time. Bonuses. Also Steve's old cast but he's not. The only different thing that we did the only different thing that we did I'm just OG. It's different. Oh, I think the only different thing that we did is um people still got paid even if they didn't show up sometimes. That's That's crazy. That's crazy. Yeah, cuz he doesn't show up all the time. Well, because most
12:38 people didn't not show up. So then like you just had to be out for like whatever. So he'll skip one session, but it wasn't so crazy cuz we would shoot once a week. So if we shoot every Thursday, right? Like someone skips one or two sessions throughout the year. We're just like, "F███ it. Just pay him." Sometimes David would skip the first 45 minutes every single time. It's like traffic was crazy. I know, right? Yeah. That was this morning. Every single time. I think just about I'm the first one here, Anthony. all the time. Don't want to be I'm the least I'm the least absent here. I'm going to give I'm going to give you that. I'm going to give you that only because I'm not going to disclose other details regarding you being the first one here. Oh, I see that. Oh, yeah. Cuz I've been jacking off here all day. You guys are early. Jacking off. I'm the
13:29 first one here. Other ways you wasted money back in the day. other ways I wasted money or just like we bought this for this sketch and now that you think about it you're funny. Hey, so this is one of the biggest waste of money that we did early JK where we were students, no budget, right? So, um, we had this music video shoot and it was called We were just making fun of like name brand everything, right? And so, um, we had, uh, is that when you made name brand t-shirt? Yeah. Yeah. So, we had one of our friends go out and buy a bottle of Crystalall cuz we were like, "Dude, we got to at least like flex some real ████ you know, cuz it's going to look cool." And I remember me and Bar like we for some reason that was like the highlight, you know, when you like focus on small ████ as an artist and you think that's going to make or break the video and we're like, "Oh, we got to get
14:19 Crystalall." Man, that's so funny. It's so ████ stupid, right? We're like 22 years old. I love it. I love it. And we're like, if we don't get Crystalall, I think we even had like a Lambo like for a shoot or something, too. But um we didn't even get to we didn't have to rent that, but we're like, we got to get Crystal. So, our friend buys Crystal. I think we still have the bottle. You do? We do. Yeah. We actually took it to the Vegas trip that we did in like 17 and we realized we couldn't drink it cuz it was expired. Well, no. We we No, I kept on putting it in a in a I filled my whole sink with ice and I kept shoving it in there and then we just kept on having to do other things, so we never got to actually do it. I thought we And then I just took it back here. So, it's still here. Yeah, but I thought we can't drink it. Put it in the raffle. Probably not. It's I think it's literally right there. It's like right there. It expires. Yeah. I thought it gets better. Put in the raffle. Go get it. Put in the raffle. Is it supposed to be positioned a certain
15:09 way? It can't be like There's like weird ████ on the bottom, too. Oh, yeah. probably not then it's for sure expired. But I I I think that it was irresponsible for us to buy like a $3 $400 bottle of alcohol and we didn't even know you can't return alcohol cuz that was the game plan. We're going to buy it for a shoot ████ flex and then like return it and then we didn't well cuz none of us drink. We didn't know you can't return alcohol. So, we're sitting there with a $400 and then we were broke students at the time and just sitting there. We're like, "We shouldn't have bought that. We could have ████ filmed another skit. Why did you want to buy it? You wanted to buy it." You know how much does it cost again? Like couple hundred. Damn. Like, it had to be I don't know. How much is a bottle of Crystal? Like 300 bucks or something? Damn. Where is it? Is it's
16:00 not in the alcohol space? No. Maybe you put it in one of these other spots. Has drank it. Hasawa took it for sure. $300. 300, right? Okay. $300 as a college student that like, bro, like we were all of our productions were like, "Dude, I can't even feed you. Everything's got to be done for free." Yeah, I know. We were like, "Man, that $300 could have gone for so much s███." That's hilarious. Yeah, but I mean, that was the cat that that just it's like same mentality, but now it's like, damn, gone more and more and more more each. It used to be in the same spot forever. Yeah. Who ████ took it and drank it? I don't know. The maid. The maid. Maybe we'll find out while we're moving. The maid drank it. One more. One more. One more. I think we I mean we talked about this before, but I would say the JK News set. Um
16:53 and then just in the way that we handled the the the that office at the time, um Bart was like, "Dude, we're going big game now. Like, we shouldn't design this on our own. like we need a professional. And I was like, "Yeah, you're right. We need like an interior decorator and someone that has experience that'll do it with good taste and we'll do Louis Vuitton couches." Bro, that was Louis Vuitton. When we went So, we went to Japan and when we came back, I was like, "What the ████ is this ████ I could have done better." And and dude, we spent I don't know, like ████ 50 grand or something on on top of the construction cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Holy God. And that ████ poor lady, she got cancer. Oh. So, she was in a dark space and I think like
17:44 everything just felt like a dungeon in there. And then like we were just like, "What the ████ happened?" And then it and then she just kind of like fell off the face of the earth and we're just like fell off the face of where what the ████ are we going to do with this ████ weirdass place? Dang. I mean, it looked cool. I but I don't I don't know a lot about that stuff. But to me, it looked cool. It was It was not what we wanted. I think it was it was kind of there. It was kind of office was my favorite. Well, his office was probably the most expensive. But she didn't design that. No, I designed it. Okay, that makes sense. It was just the raw space and I Well, that's a st I I spent like 20 something thousand just putting it together. Your office looked really cool, but it was also so inefficient. Like you could you had to like kind of like barely squeeze in the whole No, it was it was it was a place for me to
18:34 sleep and hang. That's all it was. But it was relaxing in there. Like a $30,000 bedroom. Didn't you spend like 10 grand on a samurai suit? I I spent eight grand on a samurai suit and like 15 on that case. The sickest. And um man, I think Yeah, we blew through a lot of cash. Yeah, we blew through so much cash. And the memories though looking back samurai suit I wish I had mentors that taught me about a lot of stuff or else we wouldn't have gone through so much trial and error cuz man dude I actually learned a lot from that too when I started setting up my own office. I was like man I want to try to say cuz I learned it from you too when you were doing this whole office and you did only for like 2,000 I was like that's but I also didn't take a fee. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He just took the
19:25 money. In the re in the real world, you'd have to pay someone to put that much time. I only spent 25,000 25,000 plus materials. I wish I wish I knew you like that back then because like I think that's cuz you would have got it done for free. No, I think that's where a lot of our m like trouble came into is there was nobody actually like teaching us anything and it was just me and Bart egging each other on. And that's a lot of bad ████ can and a lot of good ████ can happen but a lot of bad ████ happened because because nobody was saying no but they don't even know what ei e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e either there's an alternative to the no. We don't have mentors. Everybody else was younger than us or they're working for us, right? And they're like they're all just going to be like that's sick. How do I help you make it happen? Right. Even the set, they're like it's going to be professional and then they never bought a trust system. They never bought
20:15 it was really rare that anyone in the creator space was making something at that magnitude. And when it happens, they see the set and they're like, "Wo, we made it happen." Insane. Yeah. And then you look back and then you meet you talk to all these professionals and they're like, "What the ████ I could have got that done for like 20K. You bet you spent 300,000. You got f█████." And I'm like, "Well, these guys work on movie sets and ████ so we thought they were professional." But that is what they get for that stuff. You know what I mean? Like it is like pretty set in the industry that they pay a s███████. So you have to know where to go and who to talk to. I hate when people say that in retrospect when they're like I could have got you this for this much. But it's like until it actually happens. A lot of people just say that ████ You know what I mean? I'm like where were you when I wanted this bill? I would have paid you. Cool. Give me the number. Give me the name. Who are they? Are they down to work right now? Sometimes the people who say that to you are the worst
21:06 people to ask when you need it. They can't they can't cuz the people that have said that to me that are like, "Oh dude, I could have got you a psych wall built for this and when I needed one, I hit them up and they did not come through." So I'm like, "Yeah, because it's the value is in." They want to just say that they could have done it better, but like make you feel like ████ Yeah. They just want you to feel like bad about It's not like it took a year to get it done. You guys got it done like Yeah. That was the cool thing. I mean, and then at the end of the day, we burnt that much, but we made like it justified what we made at the time. So it was still looked upon as like, well, we made money out of that. And it was a cra if you just look at how much we spent, it was like ████ up. That's ████ up. Yeah. Yeah, but then especially if you lost money afterwards. But yeah, but it's to your credit, it's so rare that tuber scum are honest about this stuff. Yeah, it's true. Usually they they try to act like they've only made the
21:57 greatest moves ever and they never tell you about the pitfalls. We made so many bad moves, but we had a lot of fun doing it. This ball.
