0:00 I actually don't but when I do it's usually road range stuff where people are driving stupid or whatever like the typical stuff that you get mad at can't even imagine well his mad is probably like it's [Music] not welcome back to careful boys um what is the most trivial thing about which you have a very strong opinion oh dude all my Tak Petty things that you're just like strongly passionate about everything that's this guy's life yeah that's his whole existence yeah yeah yeah yeah I think I think Nick hates everything you know I think I cooled off I I stopped doing that ████ what happened what happened I like I just started realizing that I'm wasting my energy thinking about like sometimes it is kind of be like to be funny cuz it

0:50 is funny to me to be have such a strong opinion on something that's so small and so menial wait so that means that was real well kind of I think it's real a little bit sometimes it is what's the most recent thing that you got pissed off at that was like it's not even a big deal man let me tell you like it's not real highand chicken oh you get pissed that no not that kind of someone someone didn't signal and they turned into your lane oh recently it's been people riding their bikes on um the sidewalk while I'm walking my dog oh that's hard if you have a dog yeah that's some Nick done ████ though yeah yeah yeah but cuz it's like dude you're blazing down the street I'm walking my dog and I'm walking and these guys are just ████ they're they're going down they're they're going pretty fast like the tights type of cyclists or like like ████ pun people trying to get to work people trying to get to work

1:40 and I'm like it's 1100 a.m. I'm trying to walk my ████ dog you you have any sense at all you know by way you're probably late to work it's 11:00 a.m. I like you're never going to make it you'll be nothing in this world that's how I am you know no but I know it's ████ so stupid but part of me just like gets a little annoyed and I go it doesn't matter and I just move on but it is funnier to like really feel mad about that and like say it to you guys would you say you're not as angry as you appear on the show oh yeah for sure I think so I think you're angry or no you think I'm angry at the little things nah nah nah I think that you just juice it here in a humorous way but like when you're it's just you I think you're raging that's what I think but it's like an inner ra it's an inner rage that you don't show on the outside though is that true I think I I could picture Nick at like ack McDonald's or whatever and then

2:32 a little bit of ketchup squirts on his you know shirt and he goes to the napkins thing and it's empty he's like mother I like to blame people for is you know and then and then he reaches over the counter grabs the guy by the collar and ████ pulls them pulls I throw a burrito at the ████ lady dude and like how'd you get a burrito it's McDonald's I get mad at like bureaucratic ████ you know what I mean like like where I have to go to the DMV I'm like dude this is ████ this is stupid this is is dumb well dude the Vegas DMV you don't even have that tell them about it y this is no joke I was dude dealing with the Vegas government it's a different ████ feeling than you want to know what's ████ crazy you can get a corn dog at the DMV I swear to ████ God say that did you say you have popcorn there's concession stands you get a Slurpee you get a ████ Pizza Vegas calendar crazy dude

3:23 play Slots was your last I good shot no but there's ████ Pizza you could get Milk Duds buy ████ snacks and ████ it's crazy and they're nice dude if you forget something they don't tell you to ████ off go no they don't throw your paperwork back at your face yeah like I had to have Nikki like like take a picture of a document that I didn't have with me and like send it to me and like this lady was like don't worry I'll wait for you it's all good I was like are you kidding me in California she'd be throwing me out of here she had security taking me and and she be rubbing her ████ ████ while she trying to come like they love that ████ so mean dude that place sucks she's like I'm ████ squir it sounds like most of your problems come from living in la oh yeah kind of the traffic the bicycle is look

4:15 anytime you guys bring up ████ about how like cool Vegas is I can't argue with it that's why I'm upset is that's why I sit in silence cuz I'm like yeah you're probably ████ right and I have no rebuttal pry chill it's one of those things where you're like man this ████ Desert Oasis ████ town and then you start doing things differently like wait the DMV here actually is nice and they actually help me fill up the paperwork if I don't understand it what the ████ what's your guys' pothole situation what is that what what's yeah I don't pot what is that oh is that like marijuana we have marijuana over there pot holes in California is is what trivial thing that I get upset about that's not trivial dude that's your everyday freaking see that's what I'm talk about thank you for supporting me dog these ████ you know these guys wouldn't even know is it trivial to get

5:06 upset if there's a log line at the post office like if you're trying to like mail something yeah I think lines in general make me mad you're supposed to get in line right but dude one time I was just I just needed to like mail one thing and I know you could just drop it off in the box but like isn't it better to like get it certified or whatever and so I went to the post office and I was like Yo dude this Line's too long dude so you know what I did I went to UPS and I know like their ████ is kind of s█████ too cuz I actually got a package that was lost from UPS I was like ████ but there's no line so I just went so you'd rather have no line have your ████ get lost yeah yeah yeah I don't blame you because I was like dude I do not want to wait here just for this one thing you know so that those are like the little things that I get upset at my trivial thing that I really rage about and this is so dumb but I really do get mad about

5:56 it whenever I see like if you go on Reddit gaming or whatever and you see people like they got a picture of their kid playing like regular Nintendo and it say raising them right or whatever and I'm like I'm like let me just tell you something right now dude you are excluding your kid from like what's happening right now in gaming when they go to school they don't relate to like what their friends are talking about gaming cuz you got them playing ████ Pac-Man likeu Mega Man one yeah and so like they're like wait what's all this new ████ and stuff like that and then they just grw up to hate you yep because that you need to know that your kid played Mario 1 or whatever they like the Vintage stuff yeah compared to now it's like cool yeah Mario 1 and everyone's like yeah that's the best one I'm like yeah no it's not the best one that's true it's like everyone has Sega and Super Nintendo and then you have Atari at home exactly plus there's a fallacy

6:46 that because those games are harder that they get better at games and that's not true you get B quicker cuz then they'll play a today game and go what the ████ is all these features and menus and ████ why is it in 3D 3D yeah you just get better at old old games it's like that's it oh you know what pisses me off ████ uh cops that are just in the corner oh yeah the radar gun that's the most ████ ████ just trying to catch ████ you ever catch them before they're like when they're about to set up that's the most ████ you'll see them like go on the freeway they look like they look sneaky yeah they back into the shadow of the ████ tree and ████ I'm like dude you went through all this training to ████ just cash put a branch over a branch to cover it go do some real cop ████ whoop a criminal's ass or something I whoop a criminal's ass I'll tell you I'll tell you an irrational

7:36 thing that pisses me off and it's super not it's not fair at all I get mad when I see girls out walking with the ████ boot like they twisted their ankle and they have to wear that boot I hate that I hate that wait what boot when one of the boot is you know when they have to wear that foot brace they they put it on they put on a fake one they don't eat it no it's real oh what but you don't believe it he don't no I hate seeing like cuz like smack knows like she she always Point him out cuz she's like oh you hate that huh because I I'm like why are you out why are you walking there so if you guys really pay attention there's so many out there and I asked smack I'm like is this a girl thing and and then she's like yeah I think I think a lot like maybe they twist her ankle on a heel weak ass legs heels but then they have to wear that boot you know when you break your foot you got to wear that boot now that

8:27 I've said it it's going to activate it in your life what pisses you off that they're still walking cuz their steps are uneven I'm like ████ stay home oh yeah or they'll go to like things that require so much walking they'll go to the ████ Vintage Market or the festival and they're just like they're walking hella and I'm like dude take a break it's that a flea Mar you know what they need is that little bicycle that you put your knee on and you can but you'll never see one on those you'll see guys on that you won't see no l imagine these chicks like they just got out of rehab and they've been working on this leg for a long time and they're like okay I feel like I can find finally go out and just go to the market again feel like a normal person and then they go there and Ryan's over there in the corner like are you ████ dumb go home and rest so you don't you don't like fakers that's why I think it's irrational cuz I know I'm not supposed to be affected by that but I see it so often that like it can't be a coincidence anymore I'm like why is

9:17 every girl busting her ankle getting a brace and then still going out very common injury these ladies now now that I've said it you're going to see it now you just got to test them you got to accidentally bump him and step on their holy ████ you are Vietnamese and then they're like oh sorry sorry and then it's like see it's not broken it's like dude test them dude in my community right there there's like people who drive in the middle of the ████ road and they clearly don't know where they are what house they're going to so they're going like not even 1 mile an hour oh yeah and if I could press a button and just have a space laser destroy the vehicle and kill them inside I would press it every time and I'd spam it to that's that's California Behavior year though it is dude Vegas drivers are worse I'm sorry I love Vegas I'll know but they drive slow they drive slow in Vegas dude everyone yeah going from

10:08 California to Vegas like driving wise must be tough it's tough there's a lot of slow but there's also a lot of drunk I realized a lot of drunk so it's it's at least in California you have like drunk good drivers cuz they're used to doing it but Vegas like I've almost got ████ sideswipe hella times cuz they'll run Reds or they'll just like not even look when they uh change change lanes the only Bill that went up for me when I moved to to Vegas from California was car insurance lot of accidents more likely to be accidents and all that kind of ████ oh you know what I ████ hate sorry I ████ hate when I can't text and drive problem does your does your body like anticipate what's going to happen so for example I'm driving right and I'm like I see the red light so my hand already goes to the phone I go like this

10:58 and I hate when I get to the phone it's green I'm like then why were you just green the whole time then might as well make this a freeway a very unique gripe dude this a freeway I'm like what's the point of stopping and going if we're just going to go oh I got one I got one when you go to the self checkout line and the person that is ahead of you one you I almost always get cut as I'm going to the self you would you would though cuz it's like open right yeah cuz like the line is like there's a little ████ thing that says like oh line starts here so I line up like a ████ ████ and then the person just goes oh they just go straight to the ████ thing and I'm like okay that's one and then and then when there's a line the people it's like five out of six self checkouts five of those people have never done self checkout before why yeah why they doing

11:49 it for the first time why you doing it for the first time a billion times that's a good one go to the and then they're like I got I have broccoli I have to what's the skew number got your all Thanksgiving dinner in your car too for self checkout dude come it's 15 items re less dude or or it's just like there's no sense of urgency you know what I mean they're taking their time and then they have to be like oh excuse me excuse me cuz the light goes off they ████ SC they try to buy alcohol on it and I'm like are you ████ are they dude you know you can't you can't buy alcohol in a self checkout line you know it says that are you 21 in all BR yeah and then yeah dude it's a whole ████ oh can I buy a gift card it's like no you can't buy a gift C here you got to go to the lady you know what I mean it's like it's Supermarket stuff we all go to supermarket right yeah is that relatable that's relatable that's the same as like

12:39 I I hate when people are when you're in line at like in andout or raising canes and someone is taking a long time to decide the options are so low how would you not know just get the the maniac always lines man freaking people taking their sweet ass time dude and to go line I mean in the car line or on the human line human line yeah because then you can actually audibly hear them go hm do I want cheese or no it's like yeah that's probably the only option bro waiting waiting to order when you're at the lady already oh yeah oh bro decide before you get there you have so it's inconsiderate yeah yeah yeah and asking 50 questions while there's a line behind you what kind of fry oil do you use it's like ████ go cook at home dog you worry about the fry oil go home I also listen to a lot of like sports ████ obviously right like different Sports Talk radio shows and ████ and one of the things

13:30 that drives me grinds my ████ gears is when guys are talking about everyone's talking about how ████ the refs right we all hate the refs the refs suck well I heard this one guy he's like such a little cuck he's like he's like you know when these ref go out there they're doing their job and like they blow it sometimes like these these guys blow it sometimes or girls I'm like there's no girl refs in the in the NFL you ████ what the ████ you what what youus why are you saying that there's not one be inclusive for no reason for no reason at all and I'm not saying and like good I ████ beat my meat to that fact there's no female refs I'm just like there's no female refs why are you including them if there's none there's a lot in Halloween on Halloween there yeah there's a lot of female refs on Halloween on Halloween yeah but that's because they're pretending oh oh dude they wear mustaches this is another thing I hate when going to K toown going

14:20 to Korean Barbecue on all you can eat place and the ████ waiter avoids your eye contact the whole night I hate waiters out of ey they're too busy they don't want you order more meat I don't want to bring you any water or anything they Dodge your eyes so I don't want to see you that's why good customer service at a Korean barbecue or all you could eat spot is very important you know absolutely cuz you need to get that second order I know a good one in sum oh yeah ████ your dude we had pass we had a dude in town who he owns a cream barbecue restaurant back in in like Baltimore and he we were taking them out and then the uh the the server was like what do you want and the guy was like oh how does it work cuz he it works differently out there here it's like column A B and C or whatever and then you choose what you want from that column so he's like um I think I'll just have column A and the guy was like yeah

15:10 what do you want and he was like column A I don't understand how like what do you mean cuz you're supposed to pick from it but he didn't know that and the guy wasn't explaining to him and then so he the guy was like okay and he walked away and then my friend who owns restaurant's like how are we supposed to know how this works I love when people get mad at you when you don't know the ████ menu like that we've had waiters mad at us cuz we wanted water can I get some water yeah it's like that was my first question I wasn't even asking you anything yeah I was at a taco truck here like two months ago when we were last year for the last block and uh I go up to the to the guy to to pay and it says you can pay with a card and I'm like great and as soon as I do that he's like as if you're splitting the bill eight ways I'm a scumbag dude cuzz he

16:01 has the option what do you have the option for if I'm the biggest scumbag yeah just say cash only right yeah that's so funny that's how it used to be when you used to take taxis back in the day remember that yeah when you would take a taxi and you paid with card they hated they would s for the whole ride yeah well I think everyone can agree the robots with customer service when you call in for the banks or anything the customer service robots oh I just give me a ████ human you know what the hack is represent 00000000000000 and then it calls really stop ████ with the phone how many zeros is it or you just keep doing it until they they they transfer you well I don't know like please press One ESP sometimes that works too sometimes I press two because like if you press one it might go to overseas like some you

16:51 know call center or whatever right but if you press two usually it's Mexican Americans oh that's so then you you I I don't know I accidentally pressed two one time it was Spanish and I was like oh sorry I I uh hit the wrong number and then they spoke English and I was like oh what a good hack wow hit that number and then 00000000 until someone comes up you can hear the anger in your zeros too I love itess the ████ out your I think customer service will always be like it's either the best or the worst like but most of the time it's like it makes me the angriest customers are also the worst too yeah yeah yeah and they're going off of their experiences too the workers I really there's there's another really specific thing but like when you're in like Universal Studios or Disneyland or something a theme park and then there's like a um let's say you're in the

17:41 elevator that goes to the right and it's themed and then you have the worker in the elevator who's playing a role and he's like welcome to the dungeon right and he's doing his best and he's like really into it and then you have a ████ teenager that's ████ around with him bro I want to ████ those guys up I hate those kids I want I want them to be gone you think you're so ████ funny dude like this guy's got passion in his work and that's going to kill it like doing his job and then they're they're crushing it for the kids that are there exactly and I really just want to ████ you ████ ████ di I hate that when when you have somebody or an adult an adult even like when they're just like demystifying that guy's effort the only time that it's is chill for me is during the Harry Potter Juan chooses you ceremony what happens there I those guys are like ████ going for it dude like it's like and by the way if you're it's like they're all theater actors but like we're really closed confined space so they're just yelling

18:31 at you they're throwing the they're throwing their voice to the back of the room and it's like you don't have to do this performing to the back of theater and they're like they're like good good evening like oh my God soon as like soon as that started cuz I I went to you wanted to ████ up Dumbledore huh oh bro as soon as that ████ started he's like good evening everyone and and and I was just immediately like okay holy ████ we're in for it now good evening you have to go through it to get your wand well I didn't want the wand I was there to watch and silently judge and then ████ on it later oh I appreciate workers like that putting character even the ones that don't have to like they're just the guys at the line welcome to the Tower of teror yeah yeah that's fun it's like you're not supposed to say that but

19:22 thanks I love that stuff man I feel like can doesn't get angry at much stuff I actually don't but when I do it's usually road rage stuff where people are driving stupid or whatever like the typical stuff that you get mad at can't even imagine well his mad is probably like no it's not no no okay so I I say I got to park my car I'm so angry no I saved my anger for like the really important stuff you save it don't save it when people are like screwing you over or like Rel ship like really like stuff that that means stuff to me that's when I really get upset like when I get disappointed at people or whatever it's always like something where it's like oh you should know better you know and that's what you're really like yeah I'm like come on man I'm still
