0:00 [Music] welcome back everybody to another amazing episode of the careful boys where today we are doing our final homie checkin of the year I don't want to do this Nick we've done three we've done so many already the whole point is the checkin it's called the checkin you know what this is why the older generation thinks we're all ████ weak I think we're soft and we're soft look I feel like we did three check-ins in the past two film sessions we've done we don't need more than that I think we've done enough check-ins have you checked in enough just changed to a Nick check-in episode we should do a Nick check I think there's something wrong with Nick Nick is displaying a little bit of toxic masculinity here everybody raise your hand if you're in favor of Nick checking only what's going on Nick check did you get a black belt it's not enough yeah it's not you know what you know I would
0:51 love to get some sleep I haven't been able to sleep recently why cuz the dog keep keeping you these ████ that's the main reason just the dogs yeah cuz we there was a time where um just be honest no seriously there's a time where we let the dog sleep in the bed and then Tiff is like we can't do this anymore and I'm like okay and then they scratch and they're barking at night and then guess who got to check on the dogs to tell them get in their face be like shut the ████ up me just me why barking at night there cuz they want to come to bed they want to sleep with uh mama and papa the door is closed and they're they're scratching they're in their crates so they have a little crate they have their own little crate they have their own little area and they go like that but they got problems no my dogs don't dude they're fine you thinking about getting like those Shock Callers that train them to not bark it was it was a conversation cuz you could wake up and you could just hit the
1:41 button but apparently the shot color is just like a vibration just to get them like you know like hey uh it's not inhumane because they're not human yeah that's true you canot treat animals like animals I will say this if you ever done it before which I did it in the '90s to like we had a dog and we did that the dog was so surprised by it that it bar bked about being shocked and then it barked about being shocked and then it barked about being shocked so it just kept on it was Bas but um nightmare I will say it's been getting better like they're letting us sleep a little bit longer you know which is nice but whenever you wake up in the middle of night sometimes you're just like you really can't function throughout the day it's really ████ hard and you're like this is inconvenient this is bro it's honestly sleep gets broken yeah it's pretty rough and then I have to talk to clients all day I have to you know do this show and I'm like dude I am I feel a rough life bro dude it's
2:33 ████ tough DK later a nightmare oh it's a nightmare I got to talk all day and talk about myself yeah I have to push on a topic throw it to somebody else I'm running out of ways to make excuses about when you have I stutter and I go what the ████ is your problem since you have like other podcast that you do if you're sitting here and you kind of think of a really good joke do you sometimes save it for the other one oh yeah do you like hold back here so you could do better on the one like less staff and stuff so you're like more of a priority I feel like I've seen you do that you're like oh you're like J that this would be good for our MMA podcast and that show grows and gross and gross and JK and then I do YF JK video on that podcast yeah that'll be good that'll be
3:23 good written by Steve D please well how we need some more views that would be great balance with all of those different things though mhm some sometimes I go what the ████ am I doing cuz I'm like am I doing too many different things is this good content well because startup which Demands a totally different type of attention yeah but then again too it's like my role on it isn't that crazy either you know like we'll do like I'll produce the show as far as like the topics and all that stuff but it doesn't take that long oh okay yeah it it's not a hard hey hosting a show is tough well I don't have to do the hosting I just have the bones I just just I make the structure and I give it to Gil and then he does it oh so like uh you're Ali ooper yeah I'm Ali ooper I'm an ass sister wonderful yeah but um yeah no it's good it's good well Gil I don't know how he gets it done cuz sometimes
4:13 he shows up to here when we're not even filming and he's like I'm here guys yeah exactly well then and he doesn't show up and the T we how we say come down he goes I'll be there and then we're like where's Gilbert and he's like I didn't I was supposed to come and I want to shake them dude I want to ████ Shake I'm like how do you get things done with you do you feel like you have enough time time for Tiff amongst all of it that's a conversation that we have where she goes like hey like what's up man haven't had no dick in like a two months what the ████ and and then also for my mom too like she'll be like I haven't had a son in a year I trained my mom so I can see her yeah so I can see her at least twice a week and she got you know she has she has osteoporosis and all that ████ so we're trying to like you know tell her to stop drinking milk I'd be telling her she comes down to linhard a train yeah she I see her twice a week so then um she'll and then like Tiff and my mom will have conversations about how they don't see me enough and I'm like oh
5:03 great that's cool what do you say like man a man can't ████ work around here and earn for his family without these ████ ████ not shutting the ████ up sounds just like Nick I be talking like that like you ████ be tripping that's what I say let the man work cuz I feel like as you get busier with stuff and I see you do more stuff I also think damn that's good news and bad news good news cuz then he's finally able to pay bills bad news is he can't go fishing yeah I can't enjoy I can't spend my money he can barely hang with he can barely hang he can barely hang with T he can hang with Tiff you said Nina he can better hang with Tiff unless they're taking a picture for the Christmas card yeah we went to your 70 that was tight a moment that was a moment in time that is cool U yo somebody was cool why can't we do that more but you know what though your boy was ████ an Uber driver I was
5:54 driving like ████ 10 hours a day going to Y cuz the whole ████ thing is driving it's far y biggest ████ look we we talk about like retrospect and stuff like that I remember not too long ago obviously like maybe a year or plus ago you know there was a time where you were looking to like build more clients and like you reach certain goals and like you know you were maybe slightly less comfortable in terms of like doing content because blah blah blah and now you're over here in 2023 you got like you know a whole new podcast show with us like you're at lionhardt you just got your black belt you got ████ two pugs and and you're just like constantly so busy now you know what I mean you manifested ite yeah so like on the one hand I still feel like a loser though how do I fix that well maybe you should like enter the competition once but other than that you've done everything that you set out to do and then some like I feel like you had a very
6:45 tremendous year how do you feel about that thanks man um I think it's human nature to always be like you didn't do ████ you got to do better and you got to keep pushing so like that's how I feel I feel like ████ it I still don't even you should celebrate a little bit I feel like I do though I do like a personal growth and like H goals thing like when I actually look around the room I'm like damn Nick did some real ████ this year what part of you feels like a loser like what what do you need to what do you feel like you need to connected to seeing his mom say that to his dad all the time oh ████ kind of kind of kind of kind of um in a room full of winners what do you need what do you need to do what do you need to do to to not feel like a loser M yeah but I I think it's okay to feel like that because I think it's part of
7:35 like the process of it all like the bigger picture but I don't like hanging out with losers so you better not be one I'm trying I'm trying harder to not be one don't like hanging out with losers you know what I think recently when this comes up is like December has been a slower month for like clients in general so you do kind of take your foot off the gas a little bit on that and then you focus time on everything else but it's hard to well for me at least sometimes it is like the noise of like you got to ████ do more like while you have this time off so I think those voices become a little bit louder when you have seasons of like a little bit more of like a down slope which is fine it's like the nature of the bid I breaks are good too yeah no for sure but like I think something I have to probably work on is not talk like that you get a lot of time management guilt yeah cuz now I feel like I have a little more time and I'm like what the ████ dude but I think you do need to take that foot off the gas and let your brain heal you know for
8:25 sure cuz sometimes you do rack your brain a little too much but and it also affects how nice you are when you finally do get to spend time with Tiff yeah yeah yeah you know but yeah I don't know man I think thank you for those kind words I appreciate that yeah man it's pretty clear though I think we all know you you're yeah I remember you're like oh man the ████ pandemic and like I don't got I got to go online and teach people and ████ and I don't know what to do yeah your gripes are different yeah and then and Steve's like man ████ Nick complains a lot your gripes are from the opposite side of the problem now which is good you know what I mean that's cool that's cool that's always a good sign I just I just want to make sure Steve doesn't make fun of me that's all if he's making fun of you that means he loves you the mostes ████ he say anything talk some ████ make him feel
9:16 talk some ████ like you're a ████ loser no you know what I will talk ████ on though when you ████ he he's like hey can I get the boys dresses and then these ████ idiots who don't have who don't have adult friends they don't have adult friends right they have friends not adult friends and I mean this because they had they they don't they've never had adults say like hey what's your address in this time of the year so I can send you a ████ Christmas card all of our friends have autism they don't do those kind of things all your all okay I'll let you say sh all your friends I'll tell you the ████ all of your friends are young kids that you raised to be your editors and then you that's why you don't get Christmas cards cuz they're ████ a bunch of kids they don't have they don't have I get Christmas cards but I have four ████ addresses so depending on where I am for the holidays
10:08 I needed him to send it to the right address yeah but dude this is so so it's what you said it's what you said that the kicker so that though my favorite thing Joe responds like cuz Nick's like hey can I get your addresses and Joe's like hey dude if you guys are if you're going to send like perishables or something like send it to this address I did not say you said that as a joke no no my joke was my joke was saying but my joke was like Joe be like hey guys if you're going to send me live live animals send it to this address I didn't say perishable I no you said you said packages but yeah yeah I packages but it's funny as ████ underdeveloped ████ adults if you're get S me P Simmons man I got to know where it's going cuz I got to be there how fresh are the P Simmons
10:58 they how fresh is the Pento dudeo and I love talking to tip about this because she was dying about it she just sent she was just sending an innocent Christmas card out this whole drama in our ████ she was giving me ████ cuz she was like can you get the addresses from the guys and I was like Yay I'll get it from them but I'm like I don't want to bother them blah she's like ████ get their addresses and I was like okay you I don't have conventional adult friends either that do that normally so that's what I'm saying all my friends autism cards my only Christmas cards on the fridge is his and Mitchell in me and Mitchell in bro yeah wait you already sent it out I need to check my mail what the ████ dude oh I got it I just got home last night check probably threw the trash dude took your mail your mail man hates you I just left last night no two nights ago G probably threw that ████ in the trash n it probably be on our F you just like you were at the Holiday party I wasn't at oh then maybe two days
11:50 ago so what's let's check in with you Anthony Lee yeah yeah I'm hosting the promps I'm just the host so what about you I thought it was all Nick yeah Nick I can't fill up eight more [Laughter] minutes what what are you supposed eight minutes of deflecting maybe what are you supposed to do on a wellness check you're just supposed to say I'm well here's the thing the the reason why it even started the very first time was because you know there was moments of conflict and we were just like yo we should check in with each other because we don't know sometimes when somebody's going through some tough ████ that's true you don't know until you ask we we for ████ we did four checkings in Q4 bro I think that's good hey but the point is that you don't know until like every time until you ask the point is we're trying to like make it cooler for dudes to talk about their ████ yeah I I'll tell you something I don't got no sad ████ cuz my life is ████ sick but uh hell yeah ████ get too relatable I'll
12:41 give you a get my dick sucked every day you don't need to share I'll tell you I'll tell you appreciation thing about you guys is that like I mean you guys already know this where um there you know a like two years ago it was a it was a Rocky Point in JK right like like with uh lockdown we weren't filming every day we stopped posting every day I want to say like that was probably when we got the biggest hit is when when you stop posting like three times a day like like this news channel the the routine people will probably be like going somewhere else to get their fix right we were posting like on every other day or or whatever it was but that's when we saw the biggest drop and then after that a lot of people didn't want to film and like keep this going a lot of people were scared they're like oh well I don't
13:32 know ████ you know Co you guys you guys aren't being safe and ████ and then like I remember we did me and Bart did one episode with a ████ mannequin and the cuz nobody wanted to ████ come a Manakin and the deal you would you had Co so you had I'm a rider I would have been here you guys asked me to come but I was going to go to Hawaii so I was like I can't risk it my boys I mean but but yeah I just remember it being like damn dude I thought we really had some ride or dies that would just come through and then they didn't and then I was like really questioning I had Co yeah whatever dude actually had it but by the way it was ████ ████ but I still had it and I didn't want to get anybody Co so it wasy you actually had Co versus the people that were like oh I don't know about coming because I'm going to go see some family you know and then uh not
14:22 reasonable at all what you said it was part it wasn't even a part of it at the time okay they asked me dude I was going to I even said that I would come but I didn't want to get anybody sick that's what I said but the point is I think that's when I was like oh ████ you know this is different and then and it was so hard during that time to get guests to get people to want to be here and I was like this is the first time I hear so much ████ complaining about coming together to talk we're actually just coming together to have fun and talk right and then so I was like is this really a hard difficult thing to do I don't don't get it but then when you guys started coming in and we were starting to create this group one by one it was like giving me this like Joy of oh you want to be here and then the energy of people wanting to be here 100%
15:12 is such a different vibe than like when some people are like oh I feel like I have to be here and I'm like no one's forcing you but that I think that was a different kind of um kind of like a Awakening for me to just feel this group together and being like oh ████ this is different this is this is like I can see it happening again but differently well also I will say this too as an experience to member um it's weird it's weird when everyone like when it's like 5:00 whatever and people like is it time to go it's almost like I don't want to go no like I don't want to go even though you're leaving first again I am leaving first real soon but I don't want to like I like it here that's the thing it's nice to have everyone here want to be here me and Bart were like beg people to like want to be
16:02 excited about working on projects and I'm like how are we going to have a entertainment company when hella people are just like I don't want to do it no more and that's when you realize the mannequins don't talk bad yeah but then the difference was with you guys and all also the difference is you guys are all leaders in your own business right and it's a it's completely different when you're working with people that are just like initiators like you have an idea you just have Ryan do it and like you know it's just everyone's like everyone's like hey sometimes you need leaders sometimes you need followers that's part of being a good leader no one skill sets right yeah Anthony has ideas Ryan carries it out the David so the ideas man but then Ryan works for coffees he works this office is a true Testament of like when
16:54 everyone was like oh this place sucks we should change it no one's ████ doing a dam damn thing and then like Ryan's like yo I got this over the fall and I'm like ████ dude this is this is what it can be when everybody like goes full force and we're doing it full force part time so I'm like imagine what can happen if we do spend just a little bit more time and energy into it and then it's that's very exciting and that's what makes me grateful to like like keep this going and it's it's it's it's just a really awesome experience to to share that with you guys did brother yeah yeah 100% that's cool that's cooler of course yeah no what about you Anthony what do you let's bring it back to Nick on our last minute so you got any problems anything you want to complain about yeah um you said earlier today and this made me a little sad when you came in you said this is
17:44 the best sweater that I own do you need clothes how you reg that's ████ incredible this is a conversation that I have with my wife all the time with Tiff where she makes fun of me she goes I'm I'm sick and tired of you coming into my room where we're about to go out to go out somewhere and asking me is this shirt too small does this shirt look stupid do I look dumb that's what I ask her when I see her so yeah I do need some new clothes dud new clothes then yeah yeah I do need to get some new clothes I need Anthony Lee or Ryan to style me dude can we go to the mall sometime he would never go to mall I think that would be fun dude we just play dress up with Nick oh my God that'd be a JK Advent right there yeah it's like a it's like queer eyee but like ey even he another update I started a
18:35 Korean skincare routine and I like it a lot dude we don't have to share everything dude I think we're goodin us on check I started a new uh sadine sadine toothpaste
