0:00 Well, if you went to Vietnam, you had those Vietnamese baddies. But the Middle East, because they don't have all those baddies, is just a bunch of ████ dudes that you become friends with. >> Dude, don't. Dude, Middle East, >> there's no Middle East baddies. >> Middle East got baddies. >> And what's up y'all? It's another episode here with the Careful Boys. And we got Subin back from boot camp, everybody. >> Yo, he was around a lot of men. >> He was a lot around a lot of big men apparently. You said you was feeling too small and you wanted to dive into talking about feeling too small. You feel small. >> No, there's exact words. I feel like a ████ >> Oh, I just lost hella weight. And then uh the guys in there, dude, they're like, you know, 18year-olds, 6 feet, black dude from the south, 200 somethingbs, and he just picked my ass up one time and I was just like,
0:51 >> why was he picking you up? >> Was it hot though? Was it hot? >> No. You know, you know how we, you know, we just get in front inside of in front of each other's face sometimes as a joke. He said, "Man, I was like, "Shut up, bro. I don't care." I was like, "I don't give a ████ how big you are, motherfucker." And he goes, "Oh, yeah." Picked me up and I WAS LIKE, "AH, >> TOO EASY." >> That's an instant lesson. >> Oh my god. >> And you know, usually when someone picks you up, you could tell if they're struggling a little bit, but this 18-year-old big ass dude named Washington picks my ass up and I was just like, in my head, I was like, "Wow, I would die. I would die." You know, so I was like >> to make out with you right now. That's what I would die to make out with you. That's what you're saying. >> So, um Okay. Um I didn't want to do it. So, I was just like, "Bro, it's I was too light when I came out of 06. I was 139." >> Oh, ████ >> I went in 160 and I came back out at 139.
1:41 >> Oh, >> yeah. So, um it was just ████ ridiculous. So, >> some muscle. >> Yeah. As soon as I came back, I just started eating much as I can. >> But you look better now, though. Like, you look like you lost weight, but you don't look like skinny and scrawny. No, but I'm telling you, when I came straight out of osit, I felt ████ scrawny. I remember looking at myself in the mirror and I was like, damn, I got a chin. And then I looked >> Oh, so you gained some weight back since then. >> Yeah. Yeah. But every like then I started looking around the mirror and I was just like, whoa, whoa, whoa. >> So, anything under what, 250 is victim weight? >> I think anything under 200. >> 200. >> Yeah. >> You look fit right now, though. It looks like like the weight got redistributed into good places. >> Well, yeah. I just been trying to like at least every day you can do push-ups, you know? So, what I learned in in all set is just if you can do push-ups every day, you'll be decent, you know, just just do 10 push-ups every day. It won't
2:33 hurt you. But, um, yeah, man. I didn't I just I just got tired of being skinny. It was cool while I lasted. I felt great. I lost my, you know, my my big ass belly before >> before going in. And then, uh, when I lost it, I was just like, "Oh, this is cool." And then I looked at myself again and I was like, "This is gay." >> Yeah. >> Who's the oldest guy in your boot camp? cuz I just recently saw an article. This dude was 49 and age. >> Bro, I saw that, too. Some white dude. >> I thought there was an age limit. >> You could sign a waiver. If you're fit enough, you could sign a waiver. >> So, it's more of a fitness and health requirement capability. >> I see. So, if you're not going to be a liability to people, then you could join. >> Yeah, that's more the waiver for sure. >> But then if you're like like let's say you're 50, but you run a six-minute mile, you could do like 15 20 pull-ups. You're like, "Dude, you're more fit than half these 18-year-olds." You just sign a waiver and you just get in.
3:23 >> What I learned, age is not a really like a like definition of old is you can't move and do ████ like that. You know what I mean? That's my new definition. If you're old, if you keep saying you're old, you you're in a wheelchair. But if you can move, maneuver, run, think, you're not old. That's just how simple I'm going to make it. You know what I mean? >> Because the oldest guy in my ████ platoon was a 39year-old named Badgie. >> Muslim black dude. And he was fit. >> ████ I Dude, his six-pack was ████ solid. >> His six-pack was like about to bite your lip. Be like a six-pack, >> bro. Sixack and >> hot schlong, >> dude. Yeah. No, no offense, but like I mean what? Sorry, but like uh no homo, but he was like ████ a stud. You know what I'm saying? 39year-old grandpa dude
4:14 looking ass. >> 39 grandpa. >> Yo, what are you talking about, bro? 39y old grandpa looking ass. >> Yeah, but he's a Muslim dude and dude, he kept up with he kept up with everybody. He's always in shape, very strict with his diet, the food over there. He just didn't eat pork because he's Muslim and he's like the one of the coolest ████ dude I met to this day, man. >> Who's your best pal in there? >> These two Brazilian dudes >> cuz we just just like the more mature ones in there, you know? So, we're just very calm all the time and realistic about everything. We're also like trying to compete with each other in a way where we're always trying to get better in everything we did. >> You know, that actually makes sense because my my jiu-jitsu coach is Brazilian >> and he says a lot of like they call Brazilians angry Hawaiians. >> Oh. >> So the culture is so similar that that's why a lot of Brazilians and Hawaiians just click cuz they just get each other.
5:04 They just get it. >> No, that's that's what happened. We just understood each other. We understand each other's little things here and there. And like they're they're super serious about training. They really wanted to learn CQB. They really wanted to learn how to shoot better. They really wanted to learn like uh squad leading and stuff like that. So that's how I got really along with it. And they were my bunk mates. >> Were they around your age? >> Yeah. 26. They're both like 26. 27. >> So the oldest guy in your boot camp was 39 >> and the youngest was 17. >> Youngest was 17. >> Wow. >> Mhm. >> Pretty big range. >> Do you still talk to these cats? >> I talked to my Brazilian homies. We're in a group chat. They're in he's in uh he's in Florida right now. They're doing uh they're in like Blackhawks right now in training and ████ They're all in their weekend training right now. >> When you guys are in there and you hear about the Iran war kicking off, are you guys all ████ bricks a little bit?
5:54 >> What was the vibes from that? >> I don't know if we were ████ bricks, but we're just like pissed off cuz we're like we joined at a peaceful time. So, you know, >> what the ████ all this ████ We we're joined at a peaceful time. So we're like, "Yes." You know, we're just like, "Okay, it's calm." And and then and then out of nowhere, we're training. And then we're getting yelled at cuz he's like, "You ████ guys suck ass. ████ you national." You know, Jos will clown on National Guards, but we we're the most high speedest ones. We were killing it out there. And they're like, "Just because you guys are National Guards, you think you guys can't train?" You know, some guys were National Guards, so they're like, "Because you guys are National Guards going back home, you guys are going to be not training and ████ like that." But you know, when we were in there, the the two national guards got uh killed. >> Yeah. >> Or the one dude, remember that one dude from Syria? And they're like, soon as that news popped off, they're harder on us. So they got even crazier on us. They
6:45 smoked us even more. They made us take the training serious. So we're just like, "What the ████ is happening?" He's like, "Because you got National Guard, that doesn't mean you guys can't be like doing less training." But the whole time me and the three dudes were all NG's were training even harder than half the people there, too. And then um uh soon as we're like we're doing a brief mission, I mean uh we're in a ████ room briefing. Out of nowhere, Jos go, "Congratulations, everyone's going to go to war now. Iran kicked off." And we're all like, "What the f███?" And all the young kids were like, they were hyped. >> Yeah, cuz they don't have kids. >> Yeah, they don't have kids. And they all want action. Yeah. >> They said about ████ time I can kill ████ and you're just like whoa whoa. >> They're all like 19 like 18.
7:35 >> What do you mean ████ like that? >> Ready to blast? >> Yeah. So you got guys are ready to blast and then me and my Brazilian homies and the older ones looked at each other like ████ idiots. >> Get a VA loan, >> man. House. >> Yeah. I was just I'm trying to just like be about it. >> Damn it. We signed up during peace. >> Yeah. We both were like >> It's true, huh? >> Yeah. We came out during a such a uncertain time. Yeah. Yeah. >> Cuz I guess something happened in Syria. National Guards got killed. Something happened in Syria again. And then now Iran kicked off and you're just like, "What the f███?" Right when we joined, you know? So, and the NG's we got to worry about it too cuz if ████ does pop off, NG's got to go out there and be like, you know, we got to go, >> what's the NG? >> National Guard. >> National Guard. We got to be out there doing security and just holding a post, you know, while the active duties gets mobilized and ready to go. And then the
8:26 82nd went out. Remember? >> Yeah, I remember >> when the 82nd went out. >> Airborne went out. >> The airborne infantry in the army. >> Yeah. So, you know, it's just weird. Some some guys came back home and they already have a deployment coming up in two months. >> There's talks of a ground invasion that they're prepping for for Iran. >> I don't want to know. I don't care. But, uh >> hopefully you get uh if you do get activated goes to Asia or something. >> Yeah. like Singapore or something like that. I'm cool. Where's the food at, ████ I want to try their foods. Hand chicken. >> Yeah, >> you're just going to be eating MREs in Singapore, >> bro. I don't even want to eat any more MREs. That ████ was ass. >> What was the best one? >> N the the maple p uh maple sausage. Not going to lie. >> HE SAID, "THAT'S ASS." And he goes,
9:16 >> "It's still all the just the just add water packs. Those ones. >> It's not like it's you add water to the heater." >> Oh, there's a heater now. >> There's always been a heater. It's like a It's a reaction. So, it becomes this plastic bag >> and then you stick your M in there and then it heats up. >> Oh, these are those like literal like the the green like plastic ████ >> But you don't have time to be ████ >> heating up food sometimes. >> I didn't heat my MREs until after boot camp. After like once you get to your unit, >> then you actually have time cuz you only have minutes to scarf ████ down. >> So, what do you do? You open up the pack and you go like this and then you just done. >> No. So, you choose your time wisely. Hey, you guys got ████ 10 minutes to get back in formation and ████ Back to training. Some people risk it. They cut it and they wait and they just hope. And some people eat the snack while the food goes and then by the time it's somewhat hot. I was like that too. Immediately
10:07 soon as I get my M water, let it go. Then I eat all the snacks first. After you eat the snacks, the food's ready to go. Hey, you guys got two minutes. You scarf that ████ down and you throw it away. It depends how you want to play it. Some don't Some don't wait in there. There's like drinks. There'll be crackers and peanut butter and then the actual meal. So, it's like it's kind of like a two or three course meal actually. >> Damn near. >> That's fancy. >> Is there hot sauce sometimes? >> Always. Tabasco, right? >> Do they give you cigarettes? >> We had Tabasco one time and they got rid of all the old ones. The newer ones. >> There's no tobasco anymore. Newer ones came in. >> Do they give you cigarettes and and and like chocolate and stuff? >> No. No nicotine, no punch brand, no nothing. No caffeine, nothing. I watch this guy that opens up MREs or like all that and then like the old ones they'll have cigarettes in like a can and ████ >> That's sick. >> Like he'll open up like a That's sick.
10:57 >> That's ████ sick. >> And then like um >> but that's for when they were deployed, right? Like those those like World War II rations and ████ >> cuz there's like some old World War II stuff and then there'll be like uh chocolates, there'll be like sugar cubes or whatever for >> Dude, that that's what I want. If I'm getting deployed and I and I just got like one flask of some good whiskey, a cigarette, a joint, you know, like I'm like, "Dude, I'm ready to die." >> Hell yeah. >> See Vietnam pictures all the time of dudes with cigarettes in their mouths. >> Yeah. >> I just saw this meme that was talking about how they're celebrating like the end of the war. It's been 50 years. Also happened to be like the exact same time that a bunch of half Vietnamese, half white 50year-olds have been celebrating their 50-year-olds birthdays. >> Oh, damn. >> Pretty tight. we didn't know who their fathers were or whatever. Dude, that's isn't that just like the real the real
11:47 thing about like wartime cuz like war is like you you think it's like oh there this war happened during this era but really all it is is it's just one ripple of like making children of an era or a generation and then they all just live with that trauma and share that to the next generation until the next ████ war by the way cuz we're all still reeling off of like Vietnam war nonsense like us being like Asian-American all of us, Steve, you too. All of us being >> My grandpa was fighting you guys, dude. ████ you. >> Yeah. And winning whatever. Anyways, but the point is, you know, it's like we're all still living. >> Yeah. >> The 1970s conflict. >> Yeah, dude. >> Today. >> That's crazy. >> So, you're talking about going into boot camp during peace time, coming out during wartime. ████ that's going to happen in the next like six, seven months is going to be like 50 years from now. The issue of like that person.
12:38 >> Yep. >> Yeah. What sucks is if you went to Vietnam, you had those Vietnamese baddies. But the Middle East, because they don't have all those baddies, it's just a bunch of ████ dudes that you become friends with. >> Dude, don't. Dude, Middle East, >> there's no Middle East baddies. >> Middle East got baddies. >> No, like culturally, they didn't they didn't uh like in Vietnam it would be like you're on base and then you get to go into town. >> There's not that culture over there cuz you're just straight up in war war, you know? >> So there's not like this you can go into town. >> Yeah. Yeah. So not available. Don't get it twisted. They got baddies >> and you're fighting insurgency where you don't you're here's a town. >> No, there's a town, but are these town good Afghans or are they al-Qaeda and you don't know? So, you didn't really assimilate the way that those guys did. >> I'm just saying bad baddies got no
13:28 border lines, you know? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, there's baddies everywhere, but there's just no baddies where the bases are >> like actual bad like like evil bad like going to kill you bad. Mhm. Mhm. >> That was probably even harder, huh? Said there's no ████ you long time. I ████ you long time outside of a base in Iraq. >> Dude, that was like $5 in Vietnam. ████ you long time. >> Yeah, I ████ you a long time. So long time. >> That's funny cuz I just watched a documentary on the drive here about Vietnam. >> He was watching a documentary driving. >> Of course he did. >> But it was about the air scouts. But anyways, that was cool. That's funny we mentioned that cuz I was the whole way here. I was watching that documentary.
