0:00 oh [Laughter] [Music] welcome back to another episode of careful boys we have with us Mr Jason Cheney I heard you've been secretively coming should we fire you you know what yesterday I came early you did you did I'm late so you average yeah averaged out oh yeah did you just ████ scissored no I don't like when people wait for me I feel like that's like I used to have dreams where I wake up and I'm like oh ████ I missed a client session or something like that like I have I have nightmares like that what the ████ happened today because none of your ████ businesses why'd you walk

0:50 in so mad though no because especially over 30 minutes late yeah that was a pretty long one first first shots at 10 15 baby I was 15 minutes late all times at 10 per Michael's email no big deal yeah right Call times at 10 first shoot times the door Dean because of Steve but go ahead used to be 10 45. but this morning I left the house at 6 30 a.m to go train clients and then usually I get here by like 10 ish you know 10 15 ish you know it's really anyways but on time for the first shot okay I mean all right not me but there was a gas leak my wife calls me at 9am saying hey there's a gas leak in the house it smells really bad of gas and I was like ████ so I had to leave the gym you know she wasn't lying because she don't lie about stuff like that even though she lies about other stuff she wouldn't just be waiting at home with lingerie like oh yeah oh that's a good gas leak and then she

1:41 farts yeah that's a Ty leak that's a title that's like best case scenario but okay you don't ever go like how do you know this ████ gas leaking I just ask her yeah just keep giving her ████ no well I just was like she sounded worried so I was like all right this is like some big deal I'm trying to derail my days yeah they're trying to ████ my day up so I go home and I'm like oh it smells real before I get to my front door I can smell gas oh no so it was really ████ bad so I'm like I'm pissed hurting are you dangerous huh is it are you dangerous was dangerous are you endangered dangerous I like I wasn't danger that was dangerous man wait where was where was Tiff this whole time was she

2:31 just in the house she was in bed she was sleeping why was she in the house she's in her lingerie in bed sleeping I left early and then she calls me at nine she opened up all the doors and windows and stuff like that but it went back to sleep no no she was like cleaning that she was she was about to leave the house when I got there so when I got there she's like I gotta go she had to go pick up her mom or something in her lingerie yeah I know crazy in a in a ████ coat but I was like all right dude ████ okay so I had to call the gas guy I was like kind of pissed ready because it smelled so bad it was like the worst gas like I've ever smelled and then I look at the oven and it just on oh my God we haven't used the oven because your boy got a kasori air fryer ████ 10 quarts amazing so I don't even I don't even use my oven so did you turn it off but that works it wasn't even on like so it was just it was mechanically on yeah but the dial

3:21 was off and the oven was like the light was on because it's like you know like this that's not a gas leak that means someone left it on no we haven't touched the oven bro I'm gonna tell who touched it then nobody Cooks in the house nobody well I cook in the house your dog touched it no no it we didn't touch it someone touched the knob the nozzle you got me a ████ liar dude no I we didn't touch the we didn't touch the ████ thing no because when the gas guy came here he was like oh this is a faulty lost dangerous this is a faulty night it was good I was almost it's a faulty knob yeah we haven't touched it I swear to God it just opens by itself oh I wish maybe you're ████ happy millionaire with your cool ass ████ oven call me a ████ liar man I am just turned on by itself make this Cop come off by itself how about that oh shut it off

4:12 by itself no I'm telling you because we have it we got this air fryer I haven't even touched the ████ oven because the oven for the stove that my leg so the stove that my landlord gave me there's no there's no like temperature control I have to buy like the internal that's ████ ████ so it's kind of a ████ janky ass oven that's why I was like I'm gonna buy air fryer because I'm gonna use that instead anyway so the fact that it was on in the morning I was like what the ████ is going on how do you turn it on actually like a ████ knob Jason knob on the on

5:03 with other knobs you probably yeah I'm just trying to I'm just trying to take some notes take you back on this ████ guy's bit okay no I was wondering so it doesn't make sense right oh he's just fat kicking her ass ████ bite him I guess I don't know where I am right now it was Twitter baby not but the gas guy came and this dude was like I can't find the leak and I was like bro huh I was like dog there's a ████ you smell the gas dog like you kidding me so I was getting kind of mad at the gas guy for a little bit not not mad but I was getting frustrated in my head I was like he's dangerous this ████ better find it while while he's checking all the things the oven turns on again oh ████ it's a ghost right I don't know and he goes oh oh that's what it is I was like yeah ████ I'm trying to

5:53 tell you is this the Home Alone house or the ████ oven turns on yeah running in the ████ room no but yeah it turned on and I was like what the ████ is this goddamn stuff so I'm I was living and it smelled so bad in the house so I was waiting for the guy to come and he fixed it and then he turned off the valve and I emailed my landlord and I was like yo you guys better get this ████ yeah fixed you better get this ████ janky ass stove out of here real question is where were you Halloween night Halloween night why why what's up who followed you home what Spirits yeah if there's oh there might be ghosts I don't think there's ghosts in the baking spirit I don't need to go to my house because wifey Burns sage and ████ that's crazy good thing she was a burning sage that day I know that's what I'm saying it would have exploded that was what I'm saying he was using incense last night one Candlelight and that's why I was ████ that's why I'm kind of pissed because like dude that's that's some really big so pissed because I would be

6:44 so scared well I'm mad because I'm like yo don't give me this janky ass stove like get this ████ stove out of here the guy turned off the gas it's all good but I just was like upset because it smelled so bad how come you didn't call the landlord first huh how could we didn't call it I sent them a ████ email this morning how come you didn't call them first what do you mean because aren't they supposed to get their guys to come fix ████ and then they they are but when it's a gas leak you've got to call the gas company uh you got to call the gas company right away and then they have protocol of like hey make sure you don't turn on the lights oh you can't even turn on the lights no bro you can't so I was like staying on my sidewalk and from my sidewalk I could smell the ████ gas that's so much gas and then yeah so I was gonna have to pay for that that's what I'm saying I was like you guys better ████ not bill me for this

7:34 league it's like the homeless guy like that's why I don't all homes can you cut up keep cut off all gas supply to your home because you don't even use it well I use it for like you know stir frying heating right yeah heaters heaters oh you just don't use the oven but you use a stove and yeah like I use the stove tops I just don't use the oven because the air fryer does just as good and then like I used to use the broiler but I think the stove was just kind of janky so I'm just kind of pissed like yeah Whirlpool no it's not even I don't even know what the ████ brand it is Sears I wish it was Whirlpool it's probably good Brad you wish it was I'll probably have to go seriously buy a new ████ oven but because I'm like I don't what did your landlord personally say in in like was he apologize they haven't they haven't emailed me back but I've been battling them not battling they're actually pretty cool they just got a new washing machine for us because it broke so I was like all right because

8:24 it's whatever and that's cool so like for the most part they're really cool but sometimes it's like Yo dude this is a ████ very dangerous thing you know especially that like tip was sleeping that's massively dangerous you know what I mean like that's a big ████ and the oven just turned on by itself like what the ████ is going on is it old probably yeah it's it's I'm imagining your house looks like one of those San Francisco houses and it's in the ovens from 1932. no it's not that old it's just say Pasadena it's the same thing yeah but but yeah that was my morning how was your guys this morning ████ dude I didn't smell gasoline fart that's for sure you're still getting fired though for like no excuse like I there's no excuse for being I don't like I don't like excuse me I like JK it's a fair company so you know thank you guys for my last day and um it's been an amazing ride um I actually need another person here

9:14 because it's gonna be hard I gotta go back soon you want to repair you wanna you wanna sit here you just got re-ironed man really I guess I know you're re-hired now I'll check ████ water balls all over this goddamn Place make sure the the carpets are so that was impressive I've never seen a ████ Cactus fly that's crazy crazy yeah and I was that was seagulled so you have to call the gas company it's not like a gas maintenance guy you got to call the gas California Gas Company and say yeah yo you got leak up in this ████ someone's smoking cigarettes they're gonna bolt my house how should they arrive within 30 minutes that's sick better than the police we're low-key okay so 29 minutes to die yeah what the ████ yeah what what that's why you have to leave the ████ place so you reported gasly and then sometimes how did you know all this protocol yeah because I have homies that worked at the gasket well it's like you call the guy yeah

10:04 I don't even know where to call that's a really practical answer look at the guests you guys don't got homies that we're going to go nope I got a homies at Edison when I first moved in when I first moved in the gas guys couldn't come out because it's like usually around October at least in this area October to December is when they're always busy so a lot because all the gas leaks be cracking and unlocked open the gasoline people ████ with the fireplaces and ████ fireplaces like the the old school um heaters oh the range yeah like the like the tall one like the furnace ones so people like a lot of times the gas guys are going around town or whatever and they're probably under staff like ████ everybody else but the hack that people would tell me is like you report a gas leak from like your furnace if you want to get it turned on and then people will come and turn it on for you and be like oh it's a gas leak but oh can you turn this on for me and then they'll turn it on the the heater for you so that's like one thing that people would

10:55 say but whenever you want a gas guy to come out you just kind of report a leak that's what that's what people say on the internet but for the most part if it's a real gas leak they have to come out within 30 minutes because it's like a liability thing oh wow so ████ but this is this is like a serious now everyone's reporting their furnace problems as gas leaks and then the people with real gas leaks have to wait longer now yeah yeah but even then even like the gas guys like they told me the same ████ they're like just ask for a gas just say you know your gas leak will come out and we'll ████ do that it's crazy that yours is a real legit high risk situation your house could have just become a yeah yeah it was ████ ridiculous we would have been doing JK news about Nick

11:45 [Laughter] yeah so that was uh that was my morning it was uh pretty eventful but your boy was and then I drove like a ████ demon over here but it was traffic wasn't that bad I don't have another uh emergency does um does that make you feel like there might be other things in your house that could be equally risky because if they're gonna let that slide maybe the ████ bathtub's just gonna shoot into the sky to be fair our landlords our landlords are actually pretty cool they're pretty cool but what about the building the coolness they kind of look like you dude they look like me is the building like older is that why no it's just like I I really think it's they they cheaped out on the ████ stove because they they furnished the place is this the first time it happened though in like years that's the second stove

12:36 we've had out of three years we've lived there oh two stoves in three years that's kind of a weird stat so what kind of stove are they buying the stove yeah that's what I'm saying the fir the first one stopped working and I was like hey we need a new stove and then is that a Kenmore actually no it wasn't even like a name brand that I've even seen before it wasn't a General Electric I think it was General electricity those are going under ever since China bought them that sounds like a really strange malfunction though like I know when things stop working but that's starting to work by itself that's like a weird and also too I think there may not be like a pilot or something so that's why the gas leaks you know what that happens oh yeah is it just like well sometimes the light comes on without turning on well the pilot is the spark yeah dangerous Jason you're right so sometimes some up in some old school ovens have a pilot and then the gas feeds and then it heats up the ████

13:26 thing oh yeah what my suspicion is that the pilot was out and that's why the gas was leaking because if it it would just be the fire yeah I mean the thing the little flame that like lights the oh but I don't ████ know I have no idea I don't know anything about it do you just turn off the valve in the bathroom since you're never going to use the stove I told the guy I was like hey please and he said yeah we have to and they have to put like a warning notice and then they have to put like they have to write a report you can't turn off yourself they got to deal with the tool or something I think you can do it by yourself but I also I'm like I don't know what the ████ to do time I didn't know it was coming from the stove I thought it was also coming from the meter because I was they were asking me is it coming from the meter and I was like I smell gas by the meter so they were like all right stay clear of the ████ home are you gonna go home today yeah so when I was there the gas guy was there dealing with all the stuff and then he told me yeah it's because he has like a little meter thing and he checks all the potential gas

14:18 leaks and then right when the oven turned on again there was no sound and then it sounds like rare like coming from the ████ meter so that tells you that that's where the gas leak is you want to hear the sound again yeah it's like one of those things where they measure radiation at Chernobyl kind of like that's exactly what they sound like or the guys on the ████ beach did you yell at your landlord no I just sent him a very strong email but it's not his fault though is it no it's not his fault but I just want to let him know he's fault Jason the stove is ████ up yeah and if it's a third broken stove within the years like that sounds like he got some refurbished Salvage stoves and then he got a lemon stove they usually send the handyman and the handyman is the humming Miguel he's cool ████ I told a story about how I was texting Miguel on accident and I was texting my wife and I was like yo Miguel's so ████ cool I love this dude and then he texted back and I saw that I texted Miguel on

15:09 accident and I was like I'm so sorry Miguel and he goes at least you had something nice to say but usually they're they're really cool but it just you know so happens that they just cheaped out on the stove what are you gonna do dude renters problems like tonight you're gonna sleep in the house yeah it's fine because the the the leak is thank God that uh Tiff's not like a candles person or something oh but usually but not in the morning huh good thing she's not awake and big kind of person yeah when she waked up as a ████ hit a joint or you guys don't got ████ in some dry ass sheets yeah you know in the middle of the night if you pull your ████ out of the dryer don't use the drying sheets sometimes you go and it's she just text me we'll see what the update is

16:00 no okay it's all good still alive yeah how does it feel like you almost blew up your whole ████ house that's so crazy well yeah that's why I'm a little like on edge I'm like God damn it dude like that's a serious thing because you know people can ████ they die from that ████ they just be sleeping and they just yeah what do you do to get off edge hang out with you with the boys dude hang on that JK a little bit I haven't jerked off in a while dude oh is it because it's November yeah do you sometimes Watch Adventure though huh do you sometimes want an adventure what do you mean it's kind of cool if her house blows up that's true it's a good story for Jake for oti you don't I kind of how much better of a story would have been if my house caught on fire for OTR we would have been I would have pulled out the tapes right you and tip were out of the house that might be yeah if no one got hurt and you're like yo my house blew up I would have got the tables and we would have gone on site set up on

16:50 your lawn and then done the JK news with your house in the background it's still on fire yeah and it wouldn't matter anymore because you're not gonna live there but honestly the reason why I'm mostly upset is because I was gone and Tiff was in the house while that ████ was going on yeah that's true that's not ████ good at all did you ever did you go why didn't you ████ call the gas company that's what I would have said why didn't she well she why are you calling me foreign did you turn anything on this morning and I was like no dude I was 6 30 I ████ you know that smells artificial what you mean they put that in there the

17:41 methane in there so that if it's leaking you know versus if it was the natural smell you just wouldn't even smell dude Bart's kind of a scientist dog he's got Gas Buddies this dude knows all like these random facts very practical things though about science they make it smell so bad they should have made it smell like strawberries can we leak all the time I went back to Seattle and you see yourself that's you walk by with this fanny pack in the film I bet you dude you're turning it on and off like 50 times a day they got safety you gotta like push enter oh yeah it's like it's like bottles caps for pills yeah but that's why it's ████ weird

18:31 and then when the guy was looking through he was checking everything and I was like Hey do you find any where the league is he's like not yet we were there for like 15 minutes I was like bro it's the ████ stove I told you guys that ████ was on and then now it's off so I feel like I'm a crazy person because I'm like it's the stove it's not me and then I come here and then Bart ████ gets in my face about it and now I feel like I'm crazy dude check the nest cam oh it is a stove if it's been on it'd be warm so that's what I'm saying he was taking all this stuff out and I was like dude it's warm you can feel it right and he goes he goes nah and I'm like this dude it's his first day he gives him a break but afterwards when he saw it he was like oh yeah yeah yeah yeah and I was like ████ guy you're right but he was he was really nice you should be a gas guy too yeah yeah who are the top suspects so there's you Tiff the guy you beat in Jiu Jitsu at

19:22 that tournament do you guys have you have an animal like a cat we don't have an animal at the house the baker's ghost well I think it's ████ weird it might be just be a ghost like he said though you know those stoves you gotta like push them in and turn and stuff like that I still had to get the stoppers because my cats would still be able to turn it on so you have to get the stopper that stops IT from being able to push in as well and you put these little put these little rubber guys in there so I kept leaving the stove on and then my pots would turn black and I was like yo I gotta do something about this ████ cause I can't be leaving this ████ off when I delete when I leave the house and I and I searched and there's knobs that you can replace that you can control on your phone whoa but maybe it's not the knob though maybe he's like just like a wiring it's a knob because I leave it on and I cook something and then I leave it on and I leave the house oh you accidentally left it yeah it's the wiring in here

20:13 you're selling my dad dude my dad would always leave ████ pots on and we come home and it's like the pan is like a red hot dude the house is like covered it's like a Excalibur sword by that time but that's a blacksmith bro remember one ring to rule them all there's gotta be a better way like technology out there instead of me correcting my behavior I'm just like there's better there's got to be something better to fix this problem it was expensive but you could switch the knobs and the knobs turn yeah and then they turn off for you that's how that's how it is he's on his phone he's like dude I got this ████ thing that turns off your phone from far away this knob on my oven will turn my phone

21:03 off over there no but I'm glad you're okay dude glad everything worked out so honestly I still feel a little like I know yeah but you know what that's good training for a ████ adult life you're doing well yeah foreign
