0:00 I never ate pork so much it almost doesn't feel like a meat it feels like another genre of food that's not meat it's like human meat [Music] well welcome back to another great episode of careful boys today we have Mr Jake Tran with us wo we got a homie that asked us a little question if you would like to ask a question have it addressed here on off the Record all you got to do is join the patreon which gives you access to the Discord and you can ask us whatever you like this is from Mr hakam hakam hakam hakam that's cute yeah all right um he he'd like to know what's something you regret buying oh I don't live life with regrets oh my of course of course I knew there'd be a Twist remember the cone t-shirts oh ████
0:52 con 2020 wait what was ity con 2012 how many did you buy just what what the f I don't know maybe you were really into the movement the biggest scams ever dude they had they had so much Cony merch man that was crazy you know just jumped on it tried to be a man of the people trying to help and then next thing you know Ryan's pulling that t-shirt up that photo up for to make fun of me like 10 years later uh I think it's gone now good but yeah that was a great I I didn't it wasn't on Google it was on your Facebook I had to turn back 50 pages for that one but yeah you did buy that shirt that's really funny oh that's a good one man I regret it too and we all force ourselves to forget because it's embarrassing yeah a little bit we brought it up here you didn't buy one of those nope you don't have regrets you did a good job that's a big one I
1:44 think our joined regret is the set in Downtown LA that we bought hey speak for yourself cuz it provided happiness for the moment were you aware of that per it was inet but you're right news when they had expanded into this have you been to our the studio in downtown we didn't know him back then maybe I B remember we spent half a million dollars building that ████ oh wow yep see that's a that's a big regret right here take a look at take a look at that that's the that's what this became I do not remember we could have we could have bought ████ hell of real estate when it was cheap as ████ too it was probably like back what was it 2015 2016 I know but you know what what we just didn't know what we didn't know man yeah that's the same thing if like
2:34 bought Bitcoin instead of the ████ complex real technically though that building paid for itself cuz we made money off of it and if you think about it it's not a loss but I do regret it reg yeah it doesn't have to be a loss to be regretted that's fair well I was going to say the same thing cuz we both probably regret the same thing but um I don't really live life with regrets but if I if I if I look back now and even even the things that I have here I go that I have to spend that much so I like I like what I got I got a lot of ████ uh but like that case there I got it customade uh-huh 8 Grand oh wa by a Craftsman who's retired now wonderful right I have a t- room same Manu like
3:25 hand handmade dude handmade it's sitting in a storage locker somewhere you won't find any nails in it it's like a nail no nail carpentry yeah handmade and the guy's retired now but he made stuff that was $25,000 that's not yeah that's not regrettable that but no I do regret it cuz I'm just like oh yeah and there's a residual payment cuz he's got to pay for storage but he doesn't know what he's going to do with it and I'm like um at the time okay it was cool and I had a lot of love and I for it and I was like that's so cool it was very afterwards I'm like I need I need that money yeah well at least now it's cool again yeah that's we repurpose it's got something inside of it that's priceless so good job you're you're right but yeah there's a lot of things like that you know like where I'm just like dude that was fun
4:16 yeah but I need that money back now it was nice to have seen what you guys were capable of doing with that much money though it was pretty impressive thank you that whole studio was almost probably could have triggered other creators to have shot way higher than they were originally meant to because of us yeah mhm but the person that wins at the end is the Persian land lord mhm he didn't let us stop paying R during Co by the way yeah same with his Filipino one no way look at the PTSD in Anthony's eyes he was like unless you're directly affected and and you have a doctor's note there's you got to keep paying every single ████ and I think our rent was like 17 G's a month wow ████ pretty cool huh man I was like I need to be a landlord I think that's a good ours was
5:06 27 well now you can do the same thing to someone else what about you Nick do you have any regrets I I'll say this I really don't spend my money on like I really don't spend my money on stuff like that really yeah got like 40 G but but you also yeah but that's that's stuff I use you know what the catches with you though you may not buy a lot of things you may not spend money on expensive things but your threshold for regretting purchases is very low where you won't even be happy you got the wrong asyo kind of actually that's true actually now that you bring it up that way now that you're bring it up my life is full of regrets you're very quick to be like this sucks it's mostly like restaurants where I'm like ah we shouldn't have spent money on that but like my I'm like a Goldfish Memory I'm like yeah all right that's it Oh okay that's so you forgive and forget yeah cuz it's like
5:56 you know like you said like you didn't know what you didn't know but yeah I'm really trying to like rack through my brain of like what I'll say this I wish I didn't sell my Miata when I did really you sold your Miata yeah I sold That's a classic but I wish I sold it later because if I if I sold it like 6 months after got popular dude cuz that's when uh I think it was during Co it was 2021 and everybody was trying to buy a used car and like if I waited like six more months I probably could have got like two three more thousand from that look like that oh my goodness hey that's me dude without the rollar it's pretty cool cool car they're one of the funnest cars to drive hey look up gay look up gay and then uh and pull up a picture of me in my car oh come on man um I'm really trying to think there there's not
6:47 much yeah I can't really think of anything right let me I'll think of something yeah call call Tiff we'll figure it out I got a really random funny because this is just stuff that you were at buying right yeah buying purchases own obviously you know I don't regret it but definitely like I didn't need to silly purchases yeah I remember being like dude I think the saxophone was so cool I'm going to try learning sa when was this uh this was in 200 maybe like 14 or something like that oh that's the height of the sax coolness hell yeah baby and I was living with Rob my my roommate who's a chef and a musician at the time so I was like bro like teach me some saxophone he's I got to teach you some saxophone I I bought a saxophone off of Amazon cuz like you know who the ████ am I right I don't need a expensive sacks so I just look for one on Amazon I find one it's 300 bucks oh that's a good price I got it I
7:37 maybe had like one and a half lessons but it was also like I was part of a small apartment and like when you suck at sacks it's unbearable oh my goodness so I I was I also F like had this embarrassment to like keep on practicing and trying it like weird hours and there's only a certain volume yeah blow this amount of air in yeah and you can't play softly in the beginning yeah and even the way you blow in it's like has to be a very certain technique right so I ended up ████ never using it and I think I actually randomly still have it somewhere you still have it probably dud let's start taking lessons you got an Amazon basic saxophone yeah it's not regrettable yet because you still have it I thought you like sold it at a loss or threw it in trash that's still you can still do something with it like what do you have any things that you regret purchasing um I've always been more of a
8:27 minimalist so I don't have many possessions yeah I remember that um but one thing I do regret a little bit at least is uh I bought like some tables before at clubs oh bottle service is a Bo yeah how much was that um let's see one of them was like 7K one of them was like a little cheaper like 2K or something yeah um and I think I needed to get that out of my system yeah just to ball out yeah yeah B but I would never do that again yeah oh then that's that's not too much of a regret cuz you you already know you had to get out of your system yeah versus like sitting there looking at this ████ saxophone in your closet being like what a failed moment there you know something that I thought would be like oh that was a purchase that I would regret um is Rolex watches but I actually felt like it made me think oh some luxury goods
9:19 are actually better to get yeah they're heirlooms so I had and they could probably appreciate inv value which did I sold I I basically made money off of one oh you already sold it I sold one of them yeah I was like wearing it and I was like wo party party and then I was like you know what I never wear this one I wee this other one way more so it's been sitting here for 6 months so let me sell it and then I sell it to My Jeweler buddy and I got like couple hundred bucks more so I was like I got a free watch and some like couple hundred bucks it's not even limited edition so I was like dude no wonder this is cool I love Kian Ry just because I mean that's just a whole game in it of itself too and you can make money off or pass it down yeah and I felt like I got a free lunch o I got one that I regret this is recent too I bought a pair of airpods what's regrettable about not the not these ones
10:09 they're too small no no dude like the ones with the buds the little extra buds the pros no I don't like those that good they bro am I say that again what's the difference they have a little like gel T these are the old generation they actually fit better I put on my ear it kept falling out I was like I like ████ these I was like I was like what the ████ is this these ones fit these are the cheaper ones for like extra like less than $100 these fit perfectly that one's $ 160 I got it for $1 130 on sale boy so it's for sure that's the problem they just it's not your ear no it's my ear it's my ear it's for sure my ear cuz like are the other ones noise cancelling I tried the noise cancelling I didn't like it bro okay there's this there's there's this feature where you do spatial you do spatial recognition or something and you have to like pan your camera around your ear I couldn't do it with my ear it just would like I was
11:00 like dude what the ████ I can't even get the special features and then uh I had to get someone to help me with these ones it took me a while but um yeah these I spent what 200 220 bucks on the other one damn and I was like dude ████ this and I just gave it to what's yours do you know this is so this is like a car guy conundrum and I feel like it's a cycle so if you're into cars right you get a car you never leave it alone yeah you always keep doing ████ yeah you do all kinds of ████ ████ to it and you customize the ████ out of it so all of my cars almost every other car is hooked the ████ up right like even my truck right now well J's driving it but there's lights there's ████ electrical ████ it's chipped it's tuned there's exhaust there's all kinds of ████ that's like done to it once you have something done to something that's stock in Factory because they pull
11:50 Plastics off or whatever it's just becomes noisier than when you get it off the dealership that's just the way it is you have rims there's rim problems the alignment is always going to be a little bit off you just have to deal with it's like getting plastic surgery like these weren't your knees that you were born with now you got these funky ass knees right yeah so you have you deal with this ████ you're like man ████ this ████ car the next car I get I'm either going to buy the one that's from the factory that way like Ford Raptor which is why people like that or a TRD Pro ████ 4Runner cuz it comes that way or you get a stock one so you get a stock one and then you drive it and you're like this thing's boring as ████ ████ tired of this ████ so the next car you get you hook it the ████ up again and then you're like I ████ hate this noisy ass ████ and it just keeps like right now my truck so every time I go right now every time I
12:41 go I try to find the best shop and the best parts to minimize it but it just it's always going to be a thing so right now my truck what sucks is I have um what is it called like LED or whatever ████ headlamps that are aftermarket one keeps going out constantly so this one goes out so I'm driving I'm driving like 6 months with only one headlight and I finally have the time to order the part bring it into the shop all that it's a ████ nuisance yeah put that in yes two headlights and then ████ a month later like God ████ damn what the hell but what's crazy is all the other crazy ████ works but I can't ████ turn on my ████ daylight cuz I'm be blasting the whole freeway really bright be arrested that's funny so I can only the
13:32 ones that I really need aren't reliable at all that's ████ yeah I'd be mad too I'm glad you said this I'm down this rout the next car the next car it's going to be stock stock but then I know I'm going to drive it for 3 years and go ████ this stock thing why don't you just get the Raptor or the TRD or something like that cuz even then they don't have enough Parts yet what if you did like 20% less modifications do you think that'll help no the only thing that you can do is do it he did and get two of the same truck and then the one's a daily driver that's reliable and then the other one has hooked the ████ up yeah well my case it's like I never have a finished dream car cuz it just I have multiple and then it's just unfinished projects everywhere yeah did you do that with a car you had um I still drive this car I had from high school nice but I'm
14:25 I'm shopping for a new one right now what are you looking at I was at the Porsche experience Center yesterday B had a Porsche I remember seeing that yeah years ago which one are you going to get um I don't know I can't I can't decide right now uh so I rented let's see I rented the GT3 RS that one's sick uh the uh 2016 model so that thing's ████ hard to drive though yeah it's a race car race car yeah a little too impractical yeah um I rented the Lexus um LC mhm uh like their twodo sports car I I really like that very dable um so I kind of leaning towards that right now cuz you need a daily huh yeah luxury sport is probably the best uh I'm also thinking about like maybe a Maybach SUV my my neighbor had a GT3 RS just to put in perspective it's like a super
15:16 ████ race car a brand new one's like 500 Grand yeah he he pulled up he was like you want to drive it I'm like hell yeah I get in it everything's loud cuz it's a race car so the brakes is like no you know and then like you go over the slightest bump because it's made to be on a track it's like and the ████ everything there's no there's no back seat right it's just roll cage everything is like ████ you got to be strong to drive it yeah I'm like what the ████ I'm like N I don't want to drive this thing this sounds like a lot yeah so I want to test out the turbo S2 yeah I heard that's a super daily a car oh what about the 2024 Mazdas like the Mias they're pretty pretty sick dude none of those problems while we're in that ballpark of know cool cars yeah we're talking about like sports cars like legit real sports cars do you think there's any danger of you
16:07 regretting a purchase like that um I would probably at leaste one oh see even that you do so sensibly yeah that's smart so I think that was what uh made me not modify the Porsche cuz it was a leased or else I would have been like yeah what can I put on this ████ but then also the whole time I was driving I was like this thing's ████ stuck I ████ this car why is it so ████ doesn't even have a churro machine yeah that's a money pit for what about you right yeah I think car things for sure are my that's my uh pit of despair for sure what's the car that you that you regret spending money on all of them really you actually regret even boxy big boxy yeah I mean I just it's it's funny cuz I have so many cars but they all equate to like one family sedan value like I have a bunch of like s█████
16:57 cars and then uh but you do do you do a bunch of cool ████ or ████ that you want to do to it yeah like trial and error stuff I just like to learn like different things on it and then and then I do the same thing I just buy like the sum of the parts is always greater than the value of the car by the end of it always always but then that's kind of like that's sort of the hobby that's the point the point is that you are you're embarrassed about it at the end but you're you're you loved every minute of it kind I want more cars too yeah like and I don't think I'd regret it I don't regret none of the I don't you don't live with regrets I thought that's the whole thing all the cars I got I got two of the same truck just a year apart I got 20203 2022 those trucks are so cool though but they're also an ocean apart Yeah well yeah one's in Hawaii but before that I had a cave van a Japanese K van and like your Land Cruiser is very
17:48 cool though oh yeah I'm keeping that forever dude yeah I'm going to do a Ellis swap or something and and Resto mod that ████ when it goes out but then is like unfished project so you might never do that huh well it's finished enough yeah finished enough finished enough I think I think the the the truck in Hawaii all I need is probably some TRD wheels and and and we good you know that's it I don't I don't need anything else um but I think I like when I like something I like it so much I want five of the same thing oh you know what I bought that I regret because I'm an idiot uh before I like when I was really ramping up my music production equipment I just started buying every ████ software that like I could have just so easily pirated not like not like main programs but like instrument packages
18:38 that are like like some of the most expensive Harps the most expensive bagpipes I was like I want the best ████ if I'm even working in Hollywood you know yeah so then I really bought all this stuff and then how much are some of those packages like 400 something bucks for like ████ for like one instrument for like a collection of Woodwinds wow you know but then I got a lot of them and then this is when I wasn't this is back when I that's as much money as I had so I was I was basically obliterating my account for this ████ thinking it's like a investment that returns but then by the end of it I just I got so good at it that I could make my s█████ instrument sound just like that stuff and I didn't know how to install most of that stuff because you had to do this thing where like there's so much uh piracy uh protection that you have to do this like iock USB make sure that you you do all
19:30 this like extra crap and it was so timec consuming I didn't have the right Hardware to support because it was so good yeah like a computer's not fast enough I never ended up using any of this stuff and they're still in the original boxes in my desk from like way back in the day and there're like hundreds and hundreds easily almost two grand of like instruments that I can emulate so well from almost scratch now wow so then that's me just thinking you know like when you get into a new hobby you think you need all all the best ████ not understanding that as you get better at the you don't need the best ████ oh damn yeah that's a bar I'll tell you something I do regret regret nothing back and for baby what is it what is it tell us not having regrets is that what you regret I wish I had more regrets one of my most accomplished and best feelings is when I go to Costco
20:22 yeah and I get stuff or groceries and we finish everything oh yeah yeah yeah when I don't yeah and that ████ bag of grapes half of that ████ is rotten talk to me I feel so ████ that's a good and the funny thing is like that s███'s like I wasted three bucks I've wasted thousands and I don't ████ care but when it comes to like ████ that's nutrients bro like that's so wasteful feels like you beat the game yeah yeah but then when you like it's even worse when you when you have a whole bag that wasn't even touched and it went that ████ head of lettuce ████ that ████ oh man dude that s███'s like $2 but have you guys you guys ever been to Phil's Barbecue in San Diego no I need very Asian Phil's Barbecue is it so
21:12 good it is good and uh whenever I'm in San Diego I try to get some and bring it back uh my friend I just assumed he would want some cuz he loves it too so I got like a full rack of baby back ribs and I drove it back like like almost like 2 hours what a good friend and I hit him I'm like yo it's hot do you want it or what and he's like my stomach hurts today I didn't know you were bringing barbecue ████ him I don't eat pork so I had to throw it away no oh you don't eat pork no what do you get beef ribs yeah beef ribs yeah do you have any idea the other friends that eat pork yeah I pork me and an pork ding ding ding you didn't know yeah why didn't you ask anybody else you just chose one person by that time he got off work it was already like 1: a.m. like freaking Hawk it's not Hawk it's AR ████ aish dude but that made me that that broke my heart a little bit to like
22:02 see that and I'm like oh no so you kept your seventh day vows huh yeah you going to break it yes Jesus I did you you break the pork one though if you didn't grow up eating pork it's pretty hard it's not in my palette it's crazy you can start now I do all that ████ you need more Chinese friends dude I never ate pork so much that it almost doesn't feel like a meat it feels like another genre of food that's not meat it's like human meat well yeah yeah okay whoa I'm in one more regret before we end this I know you have one um nah
22:57 okay
