0:00 I have to say though as great as JK as the audience is because really you guys are the best think Casey neistat's audience a little bit better [Music] and welcome back to another amazing episode of the careful boys don't move look how cute so cute CUNY wow which one's the cute one oh thanks guys well uh for this off the Record what we wanted to chat about per Ryan's suggestion was who have you blocked on social media oh that's a good question Colleen I just I just blocked Ryan how you doing I got to you first dude I block a lot of uh trolls or fake

0:51 accounts that just want to harass uh my fans in the comments yeah that happens a lot you give harass a lot in the comments the like Instagram or whatever like they might argue with other people my comment or like just whatever like they make up unpleasant experience for our actual supporters they kill the vibe yeah that makes sense yeah then for me it's just like better to not have that around you know do you feel like you're inciting the violence how well I don't know I'm like why it's a question I'm a ████ inside violence I am violence oh ████ that's tight it's really cool I mean that's like something Judge Dredd would say yeah dude and then he blasts all the all the criminals Batman I posted recently on my story someone that uh messaged me I think they

1:41 messaged me through the like knowing that I was on the JK account that day I saw that and they were talking to me and they were like hey can you unblock me I was like they were like you blocked me when I was 10. yeah you deserved it you little ████ that was like that's so funny the fact that this person remembers yeah it's like almost a decade ago they were like they were like all I asked was how come he only post car pictures and then you commented and said how come you're blocked and then I was blocked do you block people for fun that's so funny and then I was like oh ████ I remember that so I unblocked them I bet that made you laugh though it did it did because it's so stupid yeah because I thought it was just like a dumb thing you know what my favorite you guys probably get this dm2 but have you ever had someone DM you and say hey

2:31 can you tell like BART to stop blocking me or Dave oh yeah yeah yeah yeah as soon as they say that ████ they get blocked I blocked well that's because they're good judge they're good judge I trust Bart and David more than I trust you you ████ stranger why would I fight on your behalf and tell my close friend hey man there's this ████ stranger that you blocked he's a good guy man think you should unblock that this is a good person give a second chance man it was his birthday he was a little bit drunk he was only 10. he didn't mean it there was a very strange situation I ran into where like um I had this friend who runs this like nightclub and he was like yo I got a great live band at my club you should come by with the guys and just and dance like it's really fun I was like all right let me check it out and he goes uh yeah let me send you some info and then

3:23 he sent me the band leader it's like a funk band he's like oh here's the band leader like uh he's excited to meet you and I was like I can't see his page and then I realized I blocked this family and I don't know why so then I told my friend I'm like hey this is gonna sound weird but I can't go because I must hate this guy I just don't know why I don't like them or you're like so I have to confess something ten years ago I was posting a lot of carpets like a lot of garbage and this ████ audacity and then saxophone Joe just added too much of a problem with it yeah why don't you pull some ████ regular daily picks and ████ wait so if you block someone you can't look at their stuff no because I I went to his profile and it was just like black but it said but then

4:14 it said unblock yeah and I was like oh what the ████ and then I was like bro like I wish I knew why I did this I have no clue well you just randomly block people no I don't I only block people but they're like if they said something like that I you know was like oh that you can't be saying that ████ or something or if it's a bad day but this dude is like or if it's like hey how can you put something yeah I think that was just like me being petty that's so funny this guy like he's like a established musician I'm like why would this guy why would he have a problem he's probably an ████ I love this guy refresh his feet she's another our picture the ████ is with this guy and he's 10 years old he's like another Acura Type R [Laughter] really wait how many years has a gap before this person I think it was like a

5:06 decade yeah wow it was something like that it was forever that's what it gets after you unblock him the next comment you just block them again um that's what everybody's saying about it and what about when someone blocks you um how would you know how do you know that do you see there you try to search for this page and you don't know yeah like from that guy's perspective that you blocked like is he just well he said that like uh that he saw that I was on JK and was like oh cool he's on JK now and then clicked my name on the things and was like oh I'm blocked it wasn't something that he like remembered for 12 years like every morning I think he knew because I because I said why are you blocked and then blocked them so that's a funny exchange as a 10 year old then he didn't think he was like I think he forgot that he was still blocked and then he like clicked my name after JK stuff and was like my God yeah have you noticed if

5:59 you've ever been blocked by someone because I never been on anyone's pages I don't know how yeah I guess it depends like if something like I don't know if you have a falling out with a person in real life and that's the only time you'd really care to change that's right I've unfollowed I wouldn't have blocks though well it's nice that you can restrict now what is the recession so it's like it's basically like a block but they don't know they're blocked oh that's tight you can also mute and that it's the person that you would restricted can see comments or interact that's good because sometimes you just don't want to deal with it it's like I'm gonna unfollow you and then like three months from now you're like why'd you unfollow me it's like I don't ████ even remember I just don't like you you could just mute you can mute well back when you guys like have relationships and it didn't work out did you block or unfriend on MySpace or some ████ like the person you

6:49 were dating you would first change your status your relationship to no longer you know like Dude That's Heavy you remember that like the next 10 people that you'd hopefully have a relationship with once you click save and it says I'm single and you click save you wow there it is my life is different my life is different and then people can comment on it I remember that the pain of like breaking up and then seeing that you were removed from their like top eight yo being removed from a MySpace topic was like a ████ yeah as a huge ████ you also big time early warning sign that maybe your relationship isn't going so good you start popping down in the top eight like they start moving you moving you down flushing you down a little bit yeah that was a scary time for vulnerable youth first would be like a

7:39 sibling you're like okay I can understand that and it's like a cousin and you're like oh oh all right so you told me you didn't even like this because yeah what the ████ and then it's another friend here it's a second cousin it's like oh they could actually ████ and it's actually legal so you're losing your rankings that's your thought process and then it's your best friend then you're like wait what what the ████ yeah yeah that didn't happen to me either cruel dude when's the last time you guys signed into your Facebook bro I can't even get in there every time I try to deactivate it and I forget the password of life it's like it's like Bally's yeah yeah what was I trying to do again they did this ████ it years ago where like you can't um if you you know I was people were trying to sign into this meal all the time or whatever and so I I got blocked out and they're like you need to unlock your account by having one of your friends say that it's you and so I need to do that with two people one of them was my grandmother who doesn't use Facebook at all she just has a Facebook

8:29 account and then the second person was some random ████ person that I added because I was just like we're not in my early early YouTube days when I had like 10 000 subscribers I was just adding people on Facebook because I was like sure I don't care who gives a ████ I don't give a ████ and then it's just some random kid like some random like Mexican dude like like probably 12 years 13 years old when I when he followed me is now like a full grown man and like he I don't think he even remembers any of that ████ so I'm like I gotta ask this guy like hey it's really me yeah I'm just like ████ this ████ you Facebook I'm not touching it that's Facebook dude you know what's a weird thing that happened to me not too long ago I was at uh this club and I ran into this guy and he's like Ryan and I was like yeah what's up he's like dude I used to ████ hate you man oh cool man that's right well yeah because he said that like on um on zanga or like bro let things go my boy pre Myspace

9:21 days he he like he had a crush on his girl that he also didn't know but like we I guess we both followed her blog and then he said that like that he thought she liked me so he was like hated me and he would just hate watch all my stuff and hate watch my ABDC all throughout my whole career he's like oh ████ that guy yeah he followed you on every social platform to hate watch and I was like what girl are you talking about and he goes oh it's this girl like and then he told me and I was like bro I don't even ████ Know Her Like She's you just created this whole scenario are you ████ serious he's like I hated you for like 12 years Dan you should have looked and be like bro dude I smashed the ████ yeah and then I put her in the garbage she mentioned she liked you too but then ████ it yeah I was like I bet you this

10:13 guy he hate watched you and spent so much time with you but he didn't even talk to the girl yeah I don't think he ever did dude the idea of watching you the idea of watching you kill it on ABDC but being like this is so funny to me but the idea of watching you killing ABDC but like week after week after week after a week until you win come on get eliminated he's like voting against me and ████ oh I can't wait they need ████ watches oh I hate you yeah sounds like a tough challenge I don't think he never got to see you lose you won but it's like over that it's like crazy that ████ though at that point in life was very important to us adolescents you know so I can understand how that like ████ lives really rent-free in a huge part of your brain you know yeah I mean that's a hell of a crazy thing to assume like just because we both have her like on our followed blogs

11:04 hate watch not even I used to do it all the ████ like how does that work how does it work I don't even know how to process hate watching so um okay perfect example there's um a certain person on Instagram that Bart put me on to who's like Miss inspirational every ████ day let me teach you about business and let me teach you about inspiration about inspiration I ████ laugh my ass off at every single post oh that one yeah yeah yeah and she's always like like mid like hoping your business and marketing is really just about personal uh personal ability and like like friendship and like building trustful relationships with your clients and I'm like oh my God this is the most generic ████ like she thinks the fact that she thinks that this is like next level ████ is why it's so ████ hilarious to us does she actually have like an example of of finding success using these or

11:55 she's just talking about the Mantra of it I don't know I think she's a face to make it person it's pretty uh like what everyone else says it's like the most generic ████ ever but without examples of like it's like ████ that you put on wood and like put your mom has on her wall it's like it's like actually a live laugh live laugh love lift it's very uh inspirational quotes meme page it almost sounds like one of those Dr lesby and twitters oh those are great those are great but no yeah um so yeah I hate watching I I hate I hate I hate also that is that a haywatch but you're just laughing you're not affected right because the way have you hate watching is like you actually don't like the person hate them so you study them I don't know her there are some people that you like cringe when you watch but you can't look away because it's like you know like car accident it's like oh like this like I I follow a couple people that do Post like that they do like food stuff

12:45 and then sometimes you just can't like for a while like mukbangs I would watch mukbangs I was like I hate watch because I couldn't stand it but I just couldn't stop watching it and now I love it and I'm a fan yeah I think that's different I wouldn't even call that hate watch though because I feel like that's such a um that's always too sad like there's uh it's like watching a a dancer that I know that I don't really like them as a person but my man this guy's ████ talented you know what I'm saying so it's like it's different there's also like clearly a joy or some sort of inspiration I do remember um before they had the muting feature or restrictions I did uh for a moment unfollow one of one of my uh one of my crewmates because he's annoying but I said this I specifically mentioned this in a GroupMe or on social media I was like I love y'all but if you're just only put if like 90 of your posts are Selfies I'm not gonna follow you oh

13:37 really yeah damn is it is it a male yeah no I crack I'll crack up with him all the time about it but still dude you post selfies I can't handle it I can't ████ handle it I like it when their whole Thief is the same selfie with different backgrounds yeah yeah even girls too bro because at a while after a while you're like if this person might be crazy that's what I think yeah when it's too many of their faces and it's just like yeah they're like Jesus all selfies it just feels it feels like a beautiful girl posting herself I can handle it yeah I'm not real I'm not a little ████ okay Steve I ████ hate it all right it's like I hate jack off right after do you guys care if someone hates you no if I did I don't know how I would even

14:28 stand up it's on the relationship prior right yeah if there was a relationship yeah you don't wanna yeah because you don't want to feel hate from someone you love that hurts yeah it's like you care about them but then just like a random person yeah I mean we're in entertainment we're we're we have an audience like there's people that's gonna have judgment and all that and there's people that are absolutely like in love with you and there's also people that just ████ hate you I would say initially I don't care but initially I am curious and when I'm curious I want to find out and if I find out I might care yeah yeah yeah like their opinion just why like like if they're like oh I hate you because this then I'm like oh ████ I might care about that you know what I mean but if it's like somebody just randomly hates me I don't care but I'm like I'm curious I think it's really cool like one of my favorite things is is how

15:18 the audience or the community around JK changed so much and how like now when you look at there'll be like some ████ serial hate Watchers in the comments that are like you look at all the comments they've ever made and it's like 10 weeks in a row of dead Channel channels dying Channel's dead but then now we're growing and growing and growing but there's like always people like uh but we're still dead I think like Melanie's one of them and like they're always in the comments under those going like why are you still here dude yeah it's sad it's pretty sad I love the defense of like the JK people now that they're so quick to to just be like dude just go you know what I mean because I don't think it was like that in the old right it was just comments yeah it was like that was like the only way to get attention to your comment using comments right I think like that era with um a lot of channels

16:08 drama channels they kind of came out and then like people started liking that and then like a lot of uh fake YouTube stuff like ████ with their fans you know like then you start to scrutinize all of creators because of some people that were just constructing like a honorable life on camera but then in reality like behind the scenes and we all we all know that there's so many people that do that ████ they're like oh we have the perfect ████ marriage all of them yeah and we've we know who they are but then it's like also it's like yeah but oh I would hate watch that I would hate watch that for sure yeah but then you know but then the audience do you know how like I'd imagine how much they feel duped if they've been following them for a long time and then they go like oh what the ████ they're not the people who I

16:59 thought they were well there's a cognitive dissonance there too even when it gets revealed like hey this perfect family is not that there's people still sticking up for it in the comments being like that's true no like we don't know like it's like they're literally saying we hate each other yeah the truth is we just ████ hate each other and then there's people just like oh no but like I don't know I don't know it's like boy but I think after all that like no no YouTuber was like a saint so then they they they treat everybody like I I guess like maybe the critics would treat everybody as if they're like money grab grubbing like weirdos you know yeah yeah but I don't know I think that's just comes with the territory of having an audience you're gonna have people who love you people who hate you people who pass judgment I have to say though as great as JK his audience is because really you guys are the best think Casey neistat's audience a little

17:49 bit better and all I mean by that is if you go to Casey neistat's comments it's not just people love his videos but they're like and I love your ████ ads your AdWords are so goddamn good your eyes are so creative and good I'm like man that is like wow even I love your ads tip of the cap to Casey but when you watch his ads do you feel like he went above and beyond than other people his ads are pretty sick though we just got words you know what he does dude this guy like if I could edit and ████ film like him come on today's video is brought to you by tushy and Bart's like tushy's great because like yeah you know because like yeah you can smile dude
