0:00 You just go to Home Depot, you prank old guys, you get in fights with them, and then eventually you become Christian and you say, "I ████ up. I learned." >> Welcome back to another episode of the Careful Boys, where hey, Nick's back in town, everybody. >> It's good to be back in Vegas. >> Nick the dick. >> Nick's back home. Nick the >> and I figured I figured also that this would uh this would be one of those particular topics or stories that a guy like Nick might get a little bit offended by. So >> I get offended by everything actually. >> More like mad about >> I get mad about everything >> if it's about cyclists. >> It's not about cyclists. It's not >> I'm actually I've actually healed that. It doesn't >> Oh okay. Is the Rose Parade extending its like length >> past wherever I live. >> It's also growing. Goes right right in
0:51 front of him. >> It has to stay in Pasadena. That's That's my graph. >> He hates the Rose Parade. >> It can't change to a different city. >> So, uh on social media right now, uh it is trending. I mean, I think it's always kind of like happened. Um but it's trending apparently right now that teens kind of film themselves provoking people. >> I'm pissed, dude. >> Well, and then trying to just get some version of a viral video. Uh >> ████ me up, bro. ████ me up. And then >> Yeah. And it's just >> like the shock shock factor. >> A lot of a lot of really dumb. >> Some are very creative. Some I really like. >> Yeah. >> Well, creative ones half the times are actually scripted and those are really safe and nice and I'm like I'm down to be fooled >> versus like you're just going up into somebody's ear and just like you >> or the guy that goes, "Yeah, people's ears." >> There's this one guy I really like and you guys probably have seen it. He walks
1:42 up to old people in like Vegas and they're all playing slots and you know what kind of people I'm talking about. He'll wave like a a giant clock and he'll try to like hypnotize him and the guy's like, "No, get the out of here." Like, "What are you doing?" And then another guy comes up and like security off it. He's like, "Yo, have you seen this guy? He's been hypnotizing people." And then the old the old person's like he's like, "Yeah, yeah, I saw that guy. He just trying to come to hypnotize me." He's like, "Is this you?" He shows an AI video of the guy hypnotizing the old man and then making out. And then he's like, "Dude, he's been doing this to you." And the old guy is like, "What the f███?" He's like, "He kissed me." And then he tries to find the guy. He's like, "Why'd youing do that, man? What are you doing?" >> That I think >> that's pretty funny. >> But still, don't ████ with all people. >> It's ████ up to do. But >> yeah, >> the AI ████ out. >> Come on, dude. >> The AI ones are so
2:32 >> good. That's pretty good. >> When they get people who are sleeping like they're sleeping on the subway and like, "Hey, this guy was just cuddling with you, bro." >> Cuz like >> they can't tell. Yeah. Oh, >> if that was me, bro, I'm done. I'm I'm good. That's me, dude. Like, that's me as an old person. Like, I can see myself. >> When you're old, too, you're just like, "F███, I don't remember. >> ████ kiss me." That's me. I'm the perfect mark for that. >> Your mom's the mark. >> I know. >> Those are still almost fair game, though, because it's just like one to one. I don't like the Jack Dohy ████ where he has a big ass security guard and he's just provoking people and the security guard steps in to fight you if you don't like what's happening. I don't like that ████ I think that's ████ >> That's actually the the wackest thing you could do. But I mean those are the examples, right? Like you just know that like even not being overly creative and
3:22 not being whatever and you can still get super viral and that's what everybody's trying to get, right? They're trying to get ████ clicks and engagement. So now there's just kids going out there doing the dumbest ████ >> I know, man. I wish they could just stage their videos like Steve Green's old channel. >> Yeah. People don't know that it was all fake. also creative that when it's so creative like dude he would have like 15-minute videos of the idea. >> Vitali just got deported to Russia. >> Hey, you're just going to nuke his whole list of articles. >> Oh, was that one of your uh topics? I thought we were on topic. >> I'm just kidding. I don't know if he has that. >> No, no, no. Continue. Continue. Well, cuz I kind of feel like the all of these things kind started in our era like the pranksters and all that and then they started hiring, you know, and and then that that ████ up the whole scene.
4:12 >> Oh, yeah. Like the Craigslist ads for stuff. >> But kids always been pranking. I just think now with uh fame and fortune behind it and they see the success. So I think Vitali is a good example or like the Johnny Somali guy where like they just do shock ████ I think Vitali had some creativity in some of the ████ he did in the past. His original stuff was good. >> Yeah, but I think it you keep having to break that shock barrier every single time. >> You got to top yourself. >> Yeah. >> When you start The part I don't like is when you start praying on the innocent people. Like I always thought Jackass was dope cuz they just ████ with each other. >> Yeah. >> You start praying on innocent people that don't want to be involved and you make a mockery of their ████ That that part's sad. >> If you're the clown, it makes more sense versus you make >> like what he was doing in the Philippines like messing with cops and stuff. It's Yeah, it's >> But it's also like the lowest brow. It's like who the ████ is laughing at this? Like who's holding their belly laughing?
5:02 >> A ████ nine-year-old. And then they grow up wanting to be that >> watching Practical Jokers, dude. That's way funnier. >> That's way funny. >> It is really ████ funny. >> It's also easier actually to believe that there's like nine out of 10 kids maybe uh are either average, laugh at whatever, right? There's maybe one really really good shy kid in that group. Otherwise, there's definitely ████ So, it's like when you when you do these dumb things, you're going to get a majority of people that are engaging with it. And also, like the dumb things, people engage with even if they have like a moral co code to be like, "This is wrong. You shouldn't be doing this." Like, they get more engagement. They get they >> it's rage baiting. Yeah. >> 18 views because they spent 18 minutes trying to ████ write a comment and be really really upset and articulate. You know what I mean? Like, they're just getting more traction. And so it's the
5:52 system is rewarding it, right? So so people start doing dumb things. Uh and in this particular story that I'm bringing it back to is some people do stupid things and get stupid prizes, right? Well, there's also like some people do stupid things and then this situation escalates and it's like what the ████ just happened, >> right? So, this particular uh situation happened uh where it was at a Home Depot recently and uh this person just posted I think on like a Reddit thread or something like that as an anonymous member, but this gained a lot of traction um and said, "For awareness, my father was at the Home Depot on Walnut Street this evening around 6:30 p.m. and was physically assaulted. A group of teens appear to be provoking him while filming, apparently part of a disturbing trend where individuals try to elicit a reaction and record it. One teen in a gray hoodie repeatedly approached my father and whispered explicit inappropriate comments to him. After
6:43 this happened several times, my father swatted the camera away. At that point, the visual recording became violent, slamming my father against the wall, ripping his jacket, and then fleeing the scene. >> Damn, that's this old dude was just shopping at Home Depot. >> At Home Depot, bro, when I go in there, I can't I can't have any distractions cuz I'm trying to focus. I always ████ forget something. Trying to figure out the goddamn miles. like you can't. >> There's always these hot girl pranks at Home Depot and I'm like, "How come that never happens to me?" >> What are the hot girl ones? >> A lot of hot girls are looking for husbands at Home Depot because they're tired of feminine boys and then and then they're they're they're promoting their Only Fans and then they're wearing bikinis and stuff and then they ask guys like if they if they can help them find stuff. >> See, that's that's tough because that's funny, but like maybe that's maybe that's hurting an innocent man's heart. >> No, that's a good prank. I like that one. >> Okay. Okay. >> I don't ever see those in public,
7:33 though. That's a blessing prank, right? >> But ████ with someone's dad. That's ████ up. >> I know. That's ████ up, man. >> They're just there in there doing the job and >> they just jumped him. You know, he's trying to get some PVC. >> And some teens was are strapped these days, too. So, imagine it escalated to the point where your dad gets shot. >> Yeah. >> By a teen. And then, or if it turns the other way around and your dad in self-defense, grab the gun, and then ends up shooting the kid. Now, your dad is a teen killer. It just doesn't turn out good at all. >> Teen killer. You say it like that. Cuz that's how they that's how the media that's how the media makes it out to be. >> Yo, it's true. >> Sounds like a like a a new show. My dad >> teen killer. >> But that's how the media >> Yeah, you're right. It sucks. Yeah, they twist it. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Teen killer. >> I know. >> Well, I don't know. We all did stupid ████ ████ though, right? I think that's a part of being a teenager. But like the crazier you grow up, the
8:24 crazier your pranks are. So, like I think normal kids their pranks would probably be like I don't know like let's let's um tap this guy's shoulder on the right side and then he'll look this way but like no one would be there. You know classic. >> Hey, what the was you dude? >> 5 million views, >> right? >> And he's looking that way the whole time. >> But I guarantee you these kids got ████ up families and ████ >> Well, yeah. >> And this is their level of pranking. Keep >> it within ourselves and don't don't hurt innocent people. >> They're keep They're competing with each other, too. That's what's hard. >> I remember there was a one trend, this was like 10 years ago, where guys would stop traffic and then there was one dude, he would jump on the hood of a car back first and he would just lay the guy. >> You talking about like that boon gang guy back in the day. >> He had dreads. He was a black dude. >> Boon Gang. He became like Christian.
9:14 >> Oh, he did? >> Yeah. >> So, this is what they do. You just go to Home Depot. You prank old guys. You get in fights with them. And then eventually you become Christian >> and you say, "I ████ up. >> I learned I was stupid." Like maybe instead of like doing gang ████ this is what kids do now. They just do pranks. They try to go viral. >> I'm actually thinking about that and I'm like maybe that's better. >> I don't know, dude. >> What's better? You know, cuz like are these the same uh to >> this is ding-dong ditch now. You know, >> are these the same dudes that if they weren't doing pranks to see if they could get viral real quick real quick are uh breaking into houses and just like jacking ████ real quick or breaking into cars? Are are they kind of the same a little bit cut from the same clock? >> I think kids that go do pranks, they're suburban kids. If you're in the south side of Chicago, you're out there hitting licks. You know what I mean? Like >> I mean that's still going to happen regardless. I'm just saying like are this is this that next category or these
10:06 just taggers? I think pranking is like a socioeconomic like you live in the BBS, you're trying to have some fun with the boys. Instead of ding-dong ditching, you're gonna like mess with the guy at Home Depot. That's what I >> I think everyone pranks. >> Yeah. Everybody does their own like cuz there was a stage when you were >> Now you get rewarded by millions. >> But that's what I'm saying. That's the upside. But when we were doing when we were we wanted to be like the Jerky Boys and do prank calls cuz the jerky boys were doing it. Now we want to be like ████ these kids want to be like Jack Dhy or Neon or whatever. So they're going to do like that kind of ████ I like Neon. I like it. I think it's funny. >> You think You think Kobe Ryan did pranks? >> Nah, dude. No way. He's doing ISO drills all day for sure. Io drills. >> We probably We probably just need more like father figures and the kids will stop ████ around. >> But kid, not all kids are good at basketball. You know, >> baseball, ice hockey.
10:56 >> That's why they're doing it cuz none of them are good at basketball. >> Dude, yeah. If you had a path and a road to college, everyone would be like, "Nah, bro. You can't be going to Home Depot. You got to go hit free throws." You know? I did play junior high school tennis because I didn't make the basketball and football team. >> Look what happened. He was doing gang stuff. Dude, >> it is it is something. >> He was out in the streets. >> Whenever they ask kids now and for the past how many years, what's your dream job, it's always something YouTube >> or to be some kind of a public figure. So if you think of that, if you have somebody who wants that really badly, they don't have creativity, skill or budget. Yep. >> They are just going to do the cheapest >> pranks is the easiest. How to get attention? >> Lowest hanging fruit. Yeah. we'll get attention and the first time it happens, the first time it hits, like you said, you're just going to keep topping it. >> But I heard that a lot from from the youngans these days, like for us it was like, "Oh, I want to uh be a musician or
11:46 actor." Like it was the role. It was the skill. Right now, like you hear a lot where they just want to be famous. >> Yeah. Just the fame. >> No, I just want to be famous. I want a lot of followers. >> For what reason? >> Cuz that's who the other kids talk about. That's who the other kids respect. That's who the other kids think is cool. >> They just want to be popular. But like there's no skill behind the popularity. It's just they just want the notoriety. And I'm like that's so weird. >> Yeah. But it's funny cuz that still outnumbs people with skill and notoriety. >> Like there are more people that you don't know why they're famous, but they're killing it. >> Yeah. Yeah. And some people have skill, but some people who don't will also have this skill where their threshold for like public indecency and stupidity is like that they're just risk off all the >> Yeah, that's true. like they have a skill of uh of just being able to do what most people with social behavior
12:36 like in general are like no I shouldn't do that like that's kind of whack. >> Yeah. So like they get to live by curiously through the pranksters cuz some of them are like I want to do that or like it's so forbidden. >> Every single thing that's been mentioned we've all laughed at. >> Yeah. Cuz you're like well I wouldn't do it but man it's funny watching a ████ Rir red do it. >> Creative ones. The creative ones. >> I don't know. I think um it's humans always been like this, but now it's going extreme because it's rewarded. So like if if there wasn't all the money and stuff for it, people be like, "Well, if I'm just going to do it to get my jollies off, I probably won't." But then more people that would be like, "Well, I could ████ it. I might I might like more people that probably wouldn't do it now, I think, are going to want to do it because the fame aspect. Since we can't stop it, can we just like monetize and
13:26 capitalize off of it? You know, like in basketball, right? It's like, >> you know, that you're going to get fined for that technical foul. >> Oh, yeah. >> Every now and then cuz you're like doing well, you're like, "Yeah, I'm ████ you." You know, and they're just going to go for it and pay the 15 GS or whatever if you're rich enough. >> What about the innocent dad that's getting ████ with? Can we just chop off the teenager's hands? >> Well, that's what I'm saying though. Like, if every single time if you do it, >> chop off a teenager >> and you could be fined for it, right? Chances are the ones that really get fined are the ones that get popular off it. They just got fined off it and small cut just goes to that that >> to the dad. That'd be tight. That'd be tight. >> I mean, unless it's like full lawsuit, like if you slam my ████ head against the wall like and there's bruising and ████ like >> those kids should be homeless now. I think >> if the platform just controlled it, that's all you need to really do because true with uh with OAF, they have certain stipulations where you can't create content in certain you can't be in
14:16 public like stuff like that. Like if you did prank content for a platform and the rule was that if you're in public, it's just going to get taken down or something, then that kind of that might help. >> Yeah, cuz I watch a lot of OAF content and they're in public mostly, dude. >> Really? >> No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. >> Lo, >> yeah, >> I just I just know that in 2019 when when I started my studio, that's how we got all the OF people because they couldn't shoot out >> and they if they weren't shooting indoors, then you know, they would get a studio. So maybe in the future that could be a thing where like hey if you're going to do prank content do it in the inhouse depot said do it in some guy's house. >> I'd be curious to see if they were to stage it. How creative they would get though if you're like all right here's the scenario. Try to create try to fabricate a viral moment and see if like
15:06 they all did that. What would happen? It would it just all be really bad if we could all see right through it >> cuz no one's that good of an actor. make that big of a difference to the ████ kids that love it the most? Can they even tell? You know what I mean? >> Cuz most people they'll look at one thing and >> yeah, >> most people will be like, "Oh, that's fake." But then like what Nancy was saying, there's a good amount of >> Yeah. Like that dude who goes to the hood and like messes with like homeless people. He always wants to fight him and ████ Like all them s████ are are stage, but then but they look exactly the same. Tam.
