0:00 foreign welcome back to another amazing episode of the careful boys today we have with us from Christian Farina welcome back Kristen thank you thank you thank you very much uh you may not have a quick answer for this one but um I thought it'd be cool to talk about who was the coolest person in your school and where are they now me and sitting right here okay easy quick answer I mean it's kind of hard to beat that outfit dude let's go you weren't just like that in high school though I was getting my ass beat where are they now every day I woke up yeah or who was like I mean uh none of us could say that we were the coolest person right definitely not I definitely wasn't no I had a lot of friends who who did
0:52 you at school with Cole Hamels what's that he's a major league baseball player who won a World Series later on that's pretty tight that's pretty sick I went to high school with Eddie Murphy's Son charlie Christopher Christopher I feel like everyone who grew up in the valley has some type of friend or neighbor or someone that's a celebrity or related to us you're out here already like Wisconsin we got oddly enough he wasn't the most popular is it miles or uh Eric or Christian Christian oh okay one of my friends dated him oh yeah random yeah wow what'd they say herself or maybe I just texted myself and I didn't know I guess it doesn't have to be relegated to school but like when you were a a team
1:43 you know who this person when it came to those movies Jesus there was like that's a real life there was like one cool guy yeah one cool girl but I think that's fake I think what I remember in high school junior high is there were different clicks yeah and there was the coolest person of that group or of this group and that's you know that's kind of what I remember okay here's a person an actual person I wish I knew what happened to this guy but um in Cerritos there was this one b boy I think it was like I was like 15 at the time and everybody used to talk about this dude um and his name was Bon like b-o-n and uh I think he was Filipino but he was like for some weird reason everybody was like yo this dude bond has flares
2:34 and this is when we were all still learning windmills players were like one level up from from windmill wow this kid Bond got flares and we were like dude he must be a God because back then it's like that's basically like saying someone can fly yeah like at this time big deal to us yeah because we were still learning Basics and then I remember I went to some party one time like at the beach and I saw him and he was doing them and I was like that if I was that guy I would be done with life I would just be like this is this is it he won yeah and he was like really trendy like he kind of um you remember when Cisco went solo after Drew Hill and then he had like silver hair he he did silver hair during Thong Song like era he bleached it yeah he he had silver hair and everybody was like that is so tight I don't even know if it was paint
3:25 or something but he he bought was his hair and it was all like super silver I think it might have been like sprayed did that make you want to go silver no it made me think like I could never be that cool even though that's such a dorky thing today no no but that is true though that is true but he was like the coolest of the cool but I never knew what happened to him do you ever maybe we should search him up on Facebook or Instagram maybe we should all see what the ████ what are they doing now a lot of the coolest Cerritos people like they kind of just did other things but he was from a really cool uh b-boy crew at the time that they they had such cool names like one of them was uh uh Dance Floor terrorists wow like so cool this is probably like around 2001 too so it's kind of this is 98. oh pre pre-terror pre-terrorism
4:15 ahead of its time but he was super core of our post World Trade Center one bombing I'm working through a bomb place so it's still kind of risque in between that time let me try to think I don't know whatever happened to that guy but he was super cool I don't think I've ever been to a school where there was that guy or like there was no person all of the schools I went to except for the private school that we went to were like you had over 40 people you had a ton of people in class it just felt like so many people doing their own thing every yearbook has a person that's like voted most popular in a way there's got to be someone there there was no one that was popular today you know the hot girls or the jocks like but yeah awkward for me because like I was the guy hard huh no because yeah I mean I bet you were the guy like what's the guy
5:06 what were you doing in high school what was your amazing so my the thing is I was a ████ loser my first year because I was like super insecure freshman type but then once I got into dramas yeah then I like ████ was confident boy all kinds of things were cool I like was the lead in my school played my first audition so then after that it was just like oh yeah that's all working everything's coming up Steve so then um I got apparently this is what I found out later on but apparently I was voted best actor which is crazy I'm not even a very good actor but I was voted best actor apparently every because I'm so tall every year I was voted best actor until I finally was able to receive the award as a senior standout the yearbook committee told me that you won since you were a sophomore wow and they always gave it to the runner-ups so suck a dick everybody
5:58 cool thing to find out yeah so I was like really I was like do you feel like can you give back my three years of honors yeah I didn't these people didn't learn it they should be stripped of their titles and you did it because you couldn't get it because you weren't seeing people thought I was a senior because senior yearbook and as a sophomore people thought you're a senior yeah nobody ever thought that about me when I was a sophomore why are we asking the prom King dude that's true you were the coolest no I definitely wasn't record you ████ piece the way you look at me dude I think I think it was a situation the more I'm thinking about it I think it was more of a situation like what Steve had where it was like some other guy got it but then I was the runner up I I always forget that we're amongst royalty and we actually have a royal person here that's pretty crazy not like it's easy to forget that no dude I think they were
6:49 there were way cooler guys in our high school like yeah but they're all like gang bangers and stuff so everyone Pasadena yeah somebody's I don't know how like what what extent they were of gang bangers but like they were like there are a lot of Bloods I went to high school right South Pasadena is the nicer the nicer area having a tattoo in high school was already pretty cool because it's so hard to get that yeah you have to pull some weird strings under 18. yeah pretty hard I knew a few shops that would still do it remember how like our school didn't have a lot of white people yeah it was like mostly Asians yeah there was one dude uh his name was Clark and he was like they he was like the only white guy but the stuff he did was so cool and unattainable to us like he was voted most like popular like cool guy but what do you do like I don't know
7:39 if what he did was like play baseball well that's the thing is I don't know if to other people that's like very standard but to us we were like dude that's so cool he's like from the movies because this kid would like uh at 15 16 he was already riding motorcross oh so aborted yeah like extreme sports stuff yeah yeah he did he like freaking Monster Energy also knew how to edit video like at the time he knew how to uh like I could edit videos at the time but I had to use two VCRs but he was already using a computer and he did um he would put like Fox Racing logos over like superimposed over his videos of him doing jumps over like sand dunes he's got the poser dude that's so sick he ended up becoming a firefighter too oh dude what a cool guy dude yeah he's a firefighter All-American grew up doing dirt bike yeah Motocross then became a fire man yeah so it's like it's like everything that you want a
8:29 white dude to be when you're in high school it's like we were like dude this guy's so cool dude he's going to the X Games I just know he will yeah and he was just always above everything like he he'd ever really commented too much on anything he would just go yeah cool you know what I mean like so you couldn't catch him slipping on anything because you don't know his opinion hot takes yeah no hot takes yeah exactly like you could be an ████ he should be like all right doing your thing man yeah he was just a cool guy I bet Colleen was like that in high school unbothered yeah yeah pretty much you're pretty awesome I would just like I don't care yeah I was just uh jump from group to group so if like a group had drama I'm just I wasn't about it who's your favorite group that you hung out uh The rosters definitely all the white people for sure yeah yeah yeah was your school
9:20 predominantly white I know it's pretty mixed pretty nice oh yeah where'd you grow up um so West Hills technically but went to school in Woodland Hills oh but out here I picture your school being like Clueless yeah oh no because the valley it is the valley but it wasn't like that although you know what was it like although kind of though because there were some girls who like wrecked their Mercedes and be like oh mommy and my daddy bought me a new one next week that's pretty sight yeah that's pretty cool did you did you have beef with those girls um were you just like these dub ████ would you like that yes did you start like vicious rumors about them yeah yeah were you mean were you a mean girl a little bit um I bet she was true no girls were mean to me yeah why do you think girls are mean what is that what made you a mean girl now yes you're mean to me did you do the dance
10:10 were you a dance drama I was in dance I was in drama I was in all the artsy stuff yeah I used to make fun of Bandos non-stop if you're in band Bandos literally coming at you yep nobody cool was in band ████ no dude well what about that nobody cool the higher up you go like the dirt chairs or whatever the ████ the bigger loser dude everything Biggest Losers of all was the teacher why because they're fat with a tuba yeah dude exactly exactly it worked the opposite I think in in our schools like if you could play a lot of instruments they were you were the coolest person yeah yeah wow there were some dudes that could literally play any instrument and you were just so cool no not me exactly the marching stuff yeah we don't have the ████
11:01 thingy you never football team it was it was because we had a flag football team yeah no we were we were Ash no we were Ash there was the cool thing is that there's there's a such a shortage of students that band would ask people to learn other instruments to fill roles whoa every now and then you'll get this like Prodigy dude that could be like all right yeah I'll just learn the bassoon right and then he'll just like be a different seat and you're like what the heck those are the guys who go to Vance Beach and they play every instrument at the same time they got a piano harmonica and a drum tambourine yeah they're making so much money every day yeah how big was your school like your graduating class 60 people 60. yeah because the soil was small I I got kicked out at like seventh or eighth grade but it's basically K through 12. oh so you knew everybody no wonder you knew who the
11:51 cool kid was everybody everybody knew each other very well it's probably like the same thing as going to a school in a small town yeah dude my graduation ceremony too for ████ ever oh my God that must take ages it was like hundreds and hundreds of kids yeah that was like ours ours was like 500. I remember there'll be birthday parties and it's literally like the whole grade the whole grade is there yeah whole grade they'll invite like the whole seventh grade or something I couldn't even fathom by the time when other other kids would tell me like yeah my school has 3 000 people I'd be like I like I barely knew people I would sometimes like see people in the Halls had no clue who they were but they were in my class yep that's crazy how old are you that way uh 25. oh my God but I prefer it that way
12:41 because ████ already oh ████ oh yeah dude because I feel like if you're in a small class like you really can't escape anybody yeah no I did my own thing yeah yeah like that but people were really rich at my school like it was like a wealthy area I wasn't like that but I was on the cusp of it so a lot of people their parents owned like huge Brands and companies so House Parties weren't insane right Lake parties boats access to drugs in the wild Lake parties that sounds crazy wow yeah no it was it was a fun place to grow up were you a mean girl no I like didn't talk to many people eight months I had one friend that got invited that was like my really close I mean I had a group of friends but like her family was nope they did have money and stuff you
13:32 know making jello shots but yeah I wasn't involved in school never went to prom never did stuff I just was like invested in dance you didn't do prom either no I didn't do prom I didn't do it either I mean I went for like a moment uh just because you know my mom wanted pictures yeah you know going to prom suck but I gotta love dancing so I was like ████ tearing it up outside you love dancing when Anthony's here well I don't when he's here dancing becomes a dark moment in history [Laughter] it's unpatriotic yeah we're gonna talk about how we dance around a bunch of dancers no no embarrassing that's different social dancing there's a lot of I didn't know that we were dancing to Tim's wedding yeah that was fun it's a little weird
14:23 like bust out into choreography when everybody's just social dancing there's a lot of there's a lot of really it's so awkward don't do that really great dancers that can't social dance yeah it's a different thing that's like Dude You're a drama kid right yeah that's like okay drama kid parties we're like yeah and kids are like doing monologues and ████ because they're like too much are you serious dead serious no bust out monologue they have like a character they've been working exactly okay is there okay back to those parties is there a hacky like monologue that people would do all the time no like the one I mean every model looks kind of eggy right because it's all drama monologues like it's all you mean like Shakespeare ████ yeah because it's all really from the back you have to project from the back of the theater so it's like it's like shouting acting shouting the person in the first row is like God yeah I've been to like musical theater parties right yes dude oh my God
15:14 those should be attacked by Al Qaeda if anything it's like you're like remember like when George W Bush was like they hate us for our freedoms they hate us for our freedoms I'm like they hate us because of musical theater kids those kids have too much Freedom what do they do bust out into musicals yeah they're just always they sing everything they say to you yeah man I would have been in there ████ punching everybody for no reason you've been saving lives for good reason I guess I think it's great that like for the most part a lot of artistic people aren't cool because that kind of fuels how good they get at a thing yeah because they just hide away with their thing and they get amazingly good at it the shame is a part of it I mean what happened to just getting ████ piss Alice piss all like drunk and drugged out in the garage and just jamming out and thinking you're like a rock star this is good with this thing to do too
16:05 that's normal I think it still happens okay yeah like what this just sounds like uh like that movie that that that musical movie where um it's like Les Miserables they're acapella groups the bells for me I don't know because he doesn't Pitch Perfect yesterday yeah yeah I like that ████ perfect yeah yeah that is kind of how it feels because I did I did Civic Theater for a little bit what's that it's like when you do musicals that you rip off from real ones and you just have a whacker cast and you perform it at City theaters interesting so I did actual musical like subsets of that you mean like a community college thing not college but like they're shaming you they're like like if you think I mean no it's super whack but like it's it's still funny
16:55 that you know have you guys so like let's say you you know for as a stepping stone like you go through High School you do the drama there you go to like Community College and then maybe you get a role or whatever and then you go into film right or theater Live Theater you go to these levels right have you ever been back to like work on projects or something like taking a step down yeah just because you're just like bored to like do something at your high school or like any Community Theater level thing you know what's what's funny is that we kind of did something like that but it was more um so with Quest Crew when we would make shows we would want to if we had a really really big important show coming up to test the material that we made we would do a bunch of free secret shows oh it's like we would do like beneficial we go oh let's go with boys and girls club
17:46 and just perform for them so that we can get the routine into our bodies and see like how it goes and then fix things so we would have a lot of like preliminary versions of shows be seen by like just random kids and things like that and that way you don't have to feel like oh I don't I don't have the I can't do too many of these because we're not getting paid so it actually like made sense to take step Downs in a way but they weren't musicals they were like dance performances yeah I like to I like to sometimes go a lot of the times go to Just Community amateur nights to see them really ████ do their best to watch or to be in it oh not only to watch but to also see how big-headed some of these like American Idol auditions dude it's ████ hilarious not like Community Theater oh like a poetry slam in a cafe or something all of them like they really believe they're celebrities dude and it's so good you would have died watching my High School
18:37 production of Greece because like our grease lightning right was like a Ford Taurus and like it was like like a oh that's the one that you guys rolled Brown Ford Taurus because like you couldn't find a car we couldn't find a car and like dude the best ████ though was like they would they turned the ████ car on right and like it's a closed theater oh there's no yeah they're ████ gas are like the first five rows with like fumes yeah people are complaining like like I'm getting fumes and ████ and then like how do they get that in the theater dude do we drove it through the two double doors we drove it all the way in the back but like I played kaniki I was like doing the Grease Lightning song and like because in the theater version he's the lead of that song yeah and so he he and I was like dancing all over this ████ Ford Taurus and I didn't I don't sing well at
19:30 all I was basically like doing an Elvis I was doing that that's legit it was rough and I can't dance and it was rough ruff ruff ruff ruff all around but he's still one number one and then I took the trophy for the state okay no no no that was a really rough production but but that was the best part is like it's like what do they think this looks like yeah right like but that's what I love the magic of like of like theater acting and like musical theater acting it's just like look at this car wow this is this great this is grease lightning it's just like I never went in the front oh you could see people just be like it really is a you're doing it Peter moment yeah like you can't suspend disbelief because you got to sell it right like you're gonna be buying it doesn't mean anyone's buying it it's like I'm selling snake oil and I know
20:20 ████ like did that ████ with you as a kid like when you're trying to sell this part of this big greased lightning and then you see the front row people just like uh naked faces does that ████ with you you know I would love to sit here and tell you I thought it was funny yeah but it was really embarrassing yeah I bet right but looking back looking back it's ████ hilarious memorable yeah it was so embarrassing and I was just embarrassed like in general because I am not a musical person uh so I must have been a train wreck it was a ████ nightmare amazing and there was like a whole thing too because like the Drama teacher hired like drama kids but then the chorus people were like this ████ up it should be us like we're Stingers like why isn't it up and so so there was like this weird like crosswalk going on where it was like why are the drama kids starring it and like all the chorus people are going by like factions like Whispering so you're like singing up there looking at them like hating on
21:10 you yeah worse and I'm like I know I suck I'm sorry I'm like wait for dialogue scenes I promise I'm doing like uh I'm trying no dude that's the worst but dude and I think about that performance too it's just you just you just think about all the cringy moments right yeah there's no internet back then yeah I know dude and that's my favorite thing to go visit and watch I know but not only that the behind the scenes stuff that I know oh that's the best that's so entertaining so cringy man the worst is like for that this one show that I had to do was a musical and I think it was God spell and then um we're supposed to oh God I hate this ████ we're supposed to start an audience oh yeah oh yeah you guys start an audience and the director's like make conversation with the audience member so they don't know you're part of the show okay and then you stand up and you sing
22:00 and you won't go up to Stage so embarrassing so I go in there there's like flash mob 20 30 minutes till show and I sit next to this kid and his dad and I start talking to them and the dad just tells as soon as I start talking the dad tells a kid he's part of the show I don't talk to him I just go well all right so sad son don't talk to these theater people never leave you alone after yeah they're freaks your advice show like God dang great start
