0:00 thank you [Music] welcome back to another very serious episode of the careful boys we have a featured careful girl here let's give it up for clean again careful boys and the careful girls is that a good b-boy is it good is it good I love it he loves it I think it's great that means I don't is that potential it's already met its potential all right so it's very interesting we're gonna have a serious moment we're gonna have a serious conversation right now because you know we don't talk about this kind of stuff a lot but we want to ask and check in on how you guys are all doing why are you so mad already I just threw my head off let's talk about it serious questions we haven't asked how you're doing we always talk about other people
0:50 and other people let's minimize the bits let's maximize the feelings we're maximizing the feelings yeah we're cranking all the way up yep how are you feeling I know ████ we're friendship honestly I honestly feel very happy really excited I feel uh stop running no I'm serious I feel like very happy I feel like I'm in a good place in life right now feel like I'm very busy with work what's going good what's going good for you in life everything what are the what are what are the the like if you got a couple of like buckets or whatever which one's getting filled up pretty good my work bucket's getting filled okay busy love and work my relationships with my friends I feel is great and my wife you know everything's good and then you know having that's it everything's great I have nothing to complain about right now nothing to complain about in two months the rose Parade's coming don't talk to me in two months dude okay
1:40 in two months I'm gonna be ████ pissed yeah and then so how did that feel like is there anything really feel different honestly I didn't really feel different I felt the same I felt like I was kind of expecting you know well I'll say this since the pandemic this has been the first time where I feel like normal again I feel like kind of back to normal because so much of my life before the pandemic was all in the gym and I was working all the time to completely ████ nothing at like during the pandemic and then now I feel like I'm back to kind of like my old routine and working again so I feel very excited about it but the only difference is you have like 11 000 more followers on IG now yeah that's cool that's really cool you're a real one dude no I appreciate it's cool that's that's a cool thing but it's uh yeah I'm just happy to be working again that's it I'm just losing followers
2:30 but you also gain a bunch too really but you're also toxic yeah they call me yeah yeah that's what kids call you yeah the kids why do you think people want to follow you is it Geo maybe I'm boring I don't know like all this guy does is do squats every day oh yeah he loves this kid yeah yeah dude all this guy does is show his fat tits all the time oh that's all it is you know I know it's not about you right now but the amount of work and time you put into your IG stories I'm like dude if you just did that to your feet you'd probably be way more famous but other than that like back to Nick you don't think Bar's not famous Bart's famous no Barcelona videos all this combined minus most of us it's believed by this one friend I didn't hear that I heard a friend and
3:22 I heard I heard friend and I heard it dubbed yeah actually which is weird yeah I'm thankful for you for all you guys as well it was weird he's like how am I gonna bleep that out of the social media like I said duck I heard it was not going on tick tock speaking of Ryan how are you Ryan damn it dude I think I'm okay I I thought about it recently and I think for a while I started to feel a little bit sad that like you I think when you get to your late 30s get ready for this you you really start to notice that uh you just look a lot different to yourself in the mirror faster so like between 30 and 35 I think that's kind of like a nice age to be but once you're like 36 to 39 within those three years your reflection changes a time like you just go oh oh that's me
4:13 now okay is it because you look further away from like like 25 or something you know what it is it's half you're aging quicker and half you don't look in the mirror as often you just don't check yourself out as much and so when you do you it's like the increments the increments are just like larger you know like when you don't see someone for a long time and oh you grew so much it's like the opposite of that you just go oh wow that's what you look like now on you piece of ████ but it's like uh but then I started to realize it's fine like uh I realized that the age I'm at now is um it's the age my dad was once I gained sentience of life like when I was like four and I realized who my dad was and what my life was my dad was this age and it trips me out and I'm like wow okay I think that's pretty cool interesting perspective yeah because to me I think at that age my dad was in he looked like
5:03 a dad like he looked you know like like older grown man or whatever and I'm like oh that's cool that I don't specifically I feel younger yeah like I don't I don't feel old but for my age I'm like I should when I look at all my friends that I grew up with I'm like they look like you know they're my supervisors at work or some ████ and look like how you thought you're dead they look like how I thought I should look like let's be stereotypical though dancers are in a different boat right like not only are you drinking the ████ Fountain of Youth every day but just culturally it's you know you're just constantly hip and and forward thinking and am I speaking about myself maybe I like that he's like I just can't help it am I protecting my own future insecurities I don't know am I projecting my insecurities looking for companionship and then hearing the void
5:53 yeah perhaps perhaps more than likely it's nice to rather than be you know I'm constantly hip versus having constant hip problems do you do that with yourself pretty regularly what's that do you do these check-ins with this I didn't used to I think that's what's different is that like I didn't I never thought about it it's very autonomous because like I've been used to looking pretty young in my mid-30s like I was so used to people always going like oh my God you're 30. oh you're 31. it just kept going and I think now it's like oh you're 39 I thought you were 33 like it's something that's not that far off you look like you're 28. yeah I would still guess you're 28. thank you but uh it's not as important to me anymore it used to be where I was like I felt like oh ████ the day that I look my age I'm gonna be really sad I braced myself and I got there and I'm like it's cool because it is a part of your identity right as far as like everyone always telling you like oh you look so young speaking of part of your identity though
6:43 from far away from not being as close to Ryan like a long time ago his hair was a part of his identity yeah like the whole right anime thing and having like ████ like Final Fantasy style hair and being able to have it be Immaculate and your hair still is immaculate you can't you sometimes you come in here I mean I'm just happy to have here bro like that's it I'm just grateful hey ████ you ████ piece of ████ ████ oh my God Steve hates Ryan oh my God Steve really needs friends is your insecurity speaking out and filling a voice uh no I'll get it it's like in fact yeah maybe if it was like 20 years ago and you can't do ████ about it I plan on getting that thing where they take care from the back of here and they put it up here like fine but you kind of have to we do not have more hair up here than like I want right now I want I want
7:33 mother nature to take effect because it like I want to be able to do it quicker but they they want you to have most of the damage done already so that once you do it it's like set and then you can just ████ attack so you're in like your own self-described limbo exactly it's annoying because because I've been using like this like regenerative hair stuff um product stuff for years and it's actually like worked pretty well it's not great because like especially under these ████ lights um like you know what I mean you you just are able to see like more of like what's going on I don't know that dude don't hold that I don't give ████ honestly let's go baby that's some Dome yeah it's but it's like yeah I got it's like oh whatever you know you can kind of see what's going on with it right but like I kind of gotta wait because unfortunately I just still have too much of it in the front so yeah I gotta kinda
8:24 it's coming baby it's coming you're like close to like uh like old martial arts Kung Fu Master you you just shave your front half and braid the rest yeah dude I'll get there I'll get the Iron Monkey s so yeah but it's just like a waiting game with that and then um as far as other ████ though I just like I think my grandma's about to go so that sucks just found out about that I mean she's 94 right and but one of the funniest things that happens with with that especially that age you tell someone your grandma's about to go how old is she 94. oh yeah okay it's still your grandma dude it's like like well she deserves it that should have happened a long time ago yeah I think it's past due she's lucky yeah but like she's reached a point where like um
9:15 so my mom like takes care of her and stuff I've talked about this before but like my grandma now starts to call my mom mommy oh yeah usually she's been a tough bird like forever and like she's had her mental facilities and all that kind of stuff but now it's kind of going pretty quickly so it's it's not looking great so it's kind of one of those things dude many people go through way worse stuff right I can't believe I've had my grandma this long yeah like I I never even knew my other Grandma the green Grandma never know are so having my grandma is unbelievable but yeah it just it's a it's just a bummer but I'm very thankful my mom survived breast cancer last year very happy about that and then again this is the this is the convenience side of me like I have to basically apologize for like it's like I know that I'm bleeding on you guys but I promise you it like it's all good but

12:40 out and she like comes up to him and my grandma told my mother she's like if a man ever puts hands on you ever one time like puts hands on you you ████ leave right so my grandpa's pulling this shelf and my grandma comes up my hand like what's going on today and he finally like it comes out and he like elbows her and then she immediately turns around goes to the closet takes out a suitcase puts it on the bed and she's like ████ certain loading clothes in there and he's like Freda what the ████ is going on and she's like she's like you know my mother said he put ████ hands on me I swear to God he was like free I didn't even ████ know you were there what that she's like yeah yeah you ████ hell on me I can't believe this ████ a great woman honestly so how do you Rectify it I reckify what that oh he
13:31 just explained like ah this drawer was just a mistake yeah yeah but she doesn't know because he's just gesturing over here and she's just hearing she's angry already so then all she knows is she comes up behind him and he ████ like hit her with his elbows just no it's just a collateral damage but yeah but then she she's laughing telling us that story right so like it's great but but yeah it's just one of those things where I'm very glad that I had a strong woman raised my mother who's the strongest ████ woman and um yeah just I feel lucky that especially because like growing up I had my mother and I had my really hot sister good Lord to look up to strong women here yeah a lot of strong women around me at all times so I just feel very a lot of tens yeah a lot of tens yeah well thank you for sharing yeah of course but I'm good otherwise oh come out of the pandemic though man gotta say I miss people a lot glad that I had this room
14:23 honestly this room was a Saving Grace for me for sure because like like all you boys because like uh pandemic is hard for like social people like ████ it's hard but yeah it is what it is I know people had a way worse so again there you go me apologizing for um feeling everything for feeling apologizing for feelings yeah you can't have any fun how are you how are you Colleen how are you I would say the the short answer is overall good I don't have anything immediate to complain about there are things make something more of what make something up make something up take something up to complain about to make anything up um but I will say this I I do feel stagnant creatively I feel I met in um some of my relationships in my life um so I'm seeking just different perspectives and different ways of
15:15 experiencing life so Ayahuasca absolutely oh yeah you're interested in that maybe maybe one day what about some mushrooms I've done it have you done my Alaska part no it just sounds like the those are the key words that those Ayahuasca Retreats oh stagnation yeah you feel stagnant or you want to better your relationship come here and trip balls for five days come here and trip balls there needs to be a little more intention behind it ████ pants that's a good place to start yeah that's that's pretty good yeah just trying to meet new people who have maybe different lives than I or different experiences that I do right because you typically surround yourself with people who do similar things that you do so it tends
16:05 to get stagnant the conversations tend to get stagnant or the experiences do so oh it's all you need new friends yeah I do I do that's why you're hanging with us huh absolutely I do you are welcome here whenever Joe's gone everything else you gotta ask these guys I'm not I don't make those calls sure we don't know we get our pay cut how are you buddy yeah Anthony oh man um you know what's interesting I think um as like a more grown adult now obviously overall things are pretty good uh now let's get past that I think as an adult now like for example back in 2008 during like the last kind of like recession and like things were tough like I was still I just graduated college I had this Veil over my eyes you know and about like ████ everything is
16:56 possible so you don't really focus on like any of that stuff you're not like mature enough you're not experienced enough you're not like working with like larger assets like everything that you have is very like you know small minded I feel now uh is one of my first times truly understanding especially as an adult like the impacts of things like a recession so things are definitely more complicated we joke around about things like pay cuts here but like you know this is this is one of the things all of us do things outside of here and they're like you know put enough things that add up from like indirectly or directly from the recession and you're recognizing all the time you're like oh things are tougher now you know what I mean yeah you're just I'm so happy you know I mean I'm still like very thankful gratuitous all those reasons why you keep yourself going in in the day and ████ like that trying to stay motivated and disciplined but overall you realize you know like uh gigs fall through more work
17:47 opportunities aren't showing up you know what I mean negotiations don't fly as well or you have less negotiating power for different things um so it's just a a more uh you know volatile and volatile you know there's less secure before you might put together like a plan for your business that you can see anywhere from six to 12 to like two years out you know what I mean three year game plan nowadays like you know realistically and still randomly feeling comfortable about it maybe it's an LA thing but like I feel like my schedule I can't see past three months because it can change any time or whatever yeah which is a little bit of a maybe it's a new normalcy that I feel a weird comfort with it or maybe I know other people in my own industry or circles are feeling the same thing so in that same way like I'm sorry people I'm sure people have it worse so you just don't complain anymore yeah you know
18:38 seriously yeah but like I I'm now definitely starting like as we keep rolling into like you know interest rates inflation you know recession conversations things that we even bring up here at the news table those are things that affect us like on our daily life even to a smaller even even to like gas prices right but when it kind of slowly starts affecting everything and again from a business point of view we're definitely affected you know what I mean um it's I can't not acknowledge that it's a more stressful time are you scared about it no I I mean I'm fine I think we've all I mean if our parents have endured worse I feel like we're gonna be fine right like I didn't immigrate here from a war you know what I'm saying like I feel no matter what I can't ████ complain in a good way yeah right um so like I feel like no matter what we'll make it through I don't know what the outcome of it is but like those
19:30 uh at once maybe when I was younger a little bit more naive but a little bit more like optimistic about things I feel like a lot of those visions and dreams have rationalized a bit and sometimes some of that childlike Wonder being gone is a bad thing yeah sometimes I think it's healthy and realistic but I feel like I'm we're I'm in that phase of life right now things are um hardening things are starting to like really kind of confirm and validate themselves as like the realism of the world and stuff I'm not becoming more cynical but I'm becoming more realistic about certain things and trying to readjust my dreams according to what's really you know reachable so yeah kind of a interesting time so well spoken you or anything it's very articulate very articular yeah so that wraps it up we did everybody uh did we miss anybody I don't think so um unless somebody lied Bart I didn't lie or unless somebody
20:22 went first and what kept it all positive only yeah say anything everyone Joe's not here buddy you can keep it real yeah I mean I keep a real joke he's not gonna call you out anymore you know what I mean we got your back I think for me um it's an interesting point in my life that I've never felt before because I think in like uh in your first like maybe like in their 20s you're kind of figuring out yourself right early 20s and then for me I was pretty fortunate where I met Joe and we like knew what our passion was so that was like late 20s and we just kind of pushed hard and it's it's really about focusing on yourself and what you got going on because your parents are they're older but they're not in a time where you need to take care of them and then so you
21:12 kind of just build this life right so if you get married you have a kid and you're just kind of like okay cool this is the life that I created the interesting point I have in my life now is my parents are coming back into the picture more and more together well my mom just kicked my dad out again it's not even another off director oh that's good the story is so good so now it's at a point where it's like uh it's a really weird power struggle because now it's like they look to me of what they should do and so now it's like instead of being able to just kind of focus on the family that I want to create I'm like oh this is like this is the start of the the burden era where like you gotta like it's a good name you know when you gotta like it's like oh we got to bring extra
22:03 diapers because Dad's gonna ████ them himself when you go to Yosemite you know like you got like you gotta start thinking like we're like the Young The Young bird has to like take the old bird in you know so it's like I'm just like oh ████ I don't know if I was ready for this you're the ████ slab of cement in between two bricks two hard ass Bricks now you gotta keep everything together so I'm like oh ████ now this is like even more things that I didn't think I had to worry about so soon but it came like pretty abruptly from like even my dad moving to Vegas and then going I don't really like it here moving back here I want to move in with your mom and then my mom's like all right finally we can try to give it a try we'll be cohabitants and then not get this ████ out of here like all of that happened in like ████ three months six months so now I'm like I thought I was just I just gotta focus on Barbara McCain and Just Kidding Films as if it's a nice life you know but then now there's like all this other stuff that I was like oh
22:54 ████ this is crazy so did you give your dad a pay cut I want to diaper cut yeah [Music]
