0:00 Man, I would love to like delete my knowledge of a bunch of like TV shows and stuff so I could rewatch them for the first time. >> [laughter] >> You know what I'm talking about? You know when like Bart comes here and he's like, "Why didn't you guys tell me Dumbledore died?" And you're like, "B████, it's 2026, number one. Number two, that seems so fun." >> And welcome back to another episode of The Careless Boys. >> This is a This is an interesting thought. If you could like permanently delete a piece of like common knowledge from your brain, something that you you know, but you didn't >> You wish you didn't know? >> Or like a spoiler or a fact about somebody, like somebody you you used to like I don't know. Just anything that you could just delete. >> Like carrots don't make your eyes
0:50 better. >> I heard that was actually true, though. >> Yeah, so that was a big one I was hoping that we would eventually get to in this video. >> That's not true? Wait, you're telling me that's not true? >> Yeah, you could eat as many carrots as you want. It doesn't make your eyes better. >> My vision is getting worse, and I do eat a lot of carrots. >> I thought it was a fish oil thing. >> But carrots don't do nothing. >> I think it's a single eyelid thing. >> Is that your final answer? You only get one answer. You only get one answer per video, so if that's your final >> That's going to be the clickaway then. >> [laughter] >> People are like, "Fish oil? What the >> Boring. >> Omega-3s? What the ████ >> What's something that I would remove? Man, I feel like I don't know a lot about anything in general. I feel like I don't have any I don't have much As I'm getting older, I'm thinking like I don't think I have much valuable information up here. >> Dude, you know what? I I really wish I could remove like as As fun as it is to
1:40 talk about, I still think the cost is too great from being exposed to too many um anti-Muslim, anti-Jew, anti-like anything like that. Like even though it's interesting to receive this info, I just think back to ████ American History X. Do you remember the ending of American History X when not the ending but when the dude's in jail and he's so like ████ clinging to being racist and then the guy goes yeah but like think about it like how has any of that made your life better and he can't say anything. That's how I feel like all this content is. Like yeah it's like we get to ████ find out like who's really behind all this ████ the stats behind murder, black on Asian crime, whatever. Like yeah we're aware of it but like how much better has that made your life? >> It makes you more mad. >> Yeah and I I just feel like it makes you more bitter and I would I would I could exchange that knowledge for just a more
2:31 peace of mind. I would do that. Like I would erase every like thing I ever saw of like racially about everything because I don't think I've ever applied it to anything truly meaningful. >> Except being racist. >> Cuz I continued to mind my own business. Well I just feel differently about ████ but I'm not like I'm not picketing anywhere. I'm not like standing up for anything, you know. >> Arguably I wouldn't understand myself saying that I think JKN News has made me a much more cynical person. >> [laughter] >> 100% all bro all the news stories for a while the news stories we would get are so sad where you just go I don't think I want to watch the news anymore. >> Those are all Steve stories. Um but especially trying to host and like trying to like the things that we bring here is like 5% of the things that we have to filter through and see before we get to like all right we'll bring that here. So when you're looking up news
3:22 90 plus percent of it is ████ tragic and ████ up cuz there's no good news doesn't make good news, right? >> Yeah it doesn't it doesn't. >> So it's like you end up you maybe you read something here that was cool and then you try to move on to the next thing and it's just ass forever. >> The hate that you run into in everyday news now is like insurmountably higher than how it used to be. Like you might run into you know things that you that kind of were hard to swallow, tough pills. But now the opinion pieces are so extreme that it's like the thing you're reading is trying to get you to hate a whole group. >> Cuz it gets crazier and crazier and crazier. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> Coverage turned into opinion. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> You know, and it's like if there's nothing that's just coverage anymore. >> And I get that they have to be more insightful in order to get clicks. Like everything has to be more extreme than the last in order for you to be
4:12 interested. That's where I feel like I've fallen into the machine and I'm like, "Do I wish I could just reset and then just go I mean not that some of it's pretty useful and where I'm not going to be, you know, a ████ uh deer in the headlights around certain people at certain times. I get that. But then also, I just think it made me like a bitter person towards situations I don't live in. You know what I mean? >> It's quite unfortunate when you grow up and eventually learn the whole ignorance is bliss thing. I think anytime you're faced with that it's like, "Oh dude, would you rather know this or would you rather be ignorant?" When you're young, you're like, "I'd rather just ████ know." Older again, man, I'm like, "Don't tell me anything." >> I think it's good to get to get to an extent where you're great. Now you know enough to not get mugged at night. After that, like you may not need some of that ████ >> After that, you're just going to hate yeah. You're just going to be unhappy more frequently. >> Exactly. You're just going to be
5:02 unhappy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> And every time I open up my phone, it's a reminder of how sad and bleak the world is, right? Like the first thing I I just opened up my phone right now and it's a it's CCTV footage of people getting blown up in in Palestine by missiles and I'm like, "Dude, this I before it used to be like a a viewer discretion advised warning." Now I'm just getting this and I'm like, "Damn, I'm going to get more of this. Thanks a lot, Subin." >> Yeah, yeah. Now now you saw like 1 second of it. >> Thanks Subin's Telegram. Ever since Subin sent me links, my algo has never been the same. Then you you see the same video again, but now somebody's going to be like their heads in the corner of it and they're doing commentary on it. >> [laughter] >> Yeah, exactly. Yeah. >> In like eight languages and it's like that this this is just the ████ world. Or just >> all the different like political pundits, they always take turns on going to each other's podcast and just arguing
5:52 with each other and I'm like dude, what are we doing now? And it's for the sake of getting clicks cuz when two people like collide and they're on the opposite ends, it blows the ████ up, right? But they would always they would always condemn the big like Fox News and CNN for doing those same stupid things and now they're doing it on their own podcast now. You know, it's like everywhere you look is just conflict conflict conflict. >> And the weird thing is that like >> You have to opt out a little bit for sure. >> Like let's say that my statement of me saying like I don't think I need to ████ like know every time of random black dude kills an Asian elderly person. Like that's ████ cruel of me to say because that's like me feigning ignorance over a situation that's happening cuz that is something that's happening all the time, but the people who would be mad at me for like how dare you like not care about that are probably doing less for their community
6:42 than I am already. You know what I mean? Like I think I believe in the whole thing of like take care of what's within your arms reach and then that's if everyone did that, everyone would be a better off, right? Like I don't think I need to ████ try to change the minds of people way the ████ over there if I can't even get these people listen to me right here, you know what I mean? And I think people who are pissed about, you know, you're not doing a good job with your audience or whatever, they can't reach anybody. >> And you're also getting trashed by both sides, too. >> Exactly and there's no way to keep up. Yeah, you can't keep up with that. >> Like both sides gets mad at you and you're like, wait, I thought we were on the same team actually. >> But then what do you want me to do? Like cuz if if I like put so much attention to this one issue with all the ████ things going on in the world left and right, my algorithm is designed to give me more of that issue. So what I'm trying to say is that like it's not that I don't care about it, it's that like if I focus on that algorithmically, it's
7:32 going to look like that's all that's happening. >> Even if you're successful at making impact there, you're problematic if you don't help other issues. >> Exactly, yeah. >> Which the whole world is issues anyway, so like the second you're like I'm going to stand up for injustice. That's the rest of your life being a hero. Like it's it's it's a tough place to be, you know, like and you'll never you'll always fall short of it. >> just be a good example in your lane. Like whatever your lane is, be a good person in that realm that you actually have influence in. But I think it's useless to be telling everybody like, "Hey Asians everywhere, watch out, black people around." [laughter] You know what I mean? Like that's not ████ helping anybody. It's just making everybody miserable, pissed off, racist, and unreasonable. >> You know, when I first was asked this, I was it was way more innocent and dumb. I was like, "Man, I would love to like delete my knowledge of a bunch of like
8:23 TV shows and stuff so I could rewatch them for the first time." >> [laughter] >> You know what I'm talking about? You know what like Bart comes here and he's like, "Why didn't you guys tell me Dumbledore died?" And you're like, "B████, it's 2026, number one. Number two, that seems so fun." >> Yeah, Bart's jealous. >> [laughter] >> I just ah, that seems so fun. >> Which one would you want to watch again for the first time? >> Oh, dude, first time? Dude. >> If you only pick one. >> Oh. >> Game of Thrones? >> No. >> Peaky Blinders? >> No. Cuz I could still watch that the fifth time and love it just the same. >> You don't you get surprised? >> the most emotional like uh and it would it would suck to start now, but like the most emotional ride I've ever gone on for a single show, so to speak, was Naruto. The anime.
9:13 >> Oh, dude. That you only have enough life to watch the whole thing once. >> Well, that's the thing. There there's like, you know, and I'm not talking like Bleach anime type stuff that has like 600 episodes. I'm talking like let's say like 200-something episodes that you're down to watch. If you could genuinely start over, you would have so much fun for a long time. >> There's only 200 episodes of that? >> When you skip all the fillers in between. >> going to say, I thought there was way more. >> It's not like 600, but the point is Kent's drooling right now with you talking about this. >> How emotionally fun like going through something for the first time where you're just like like this is like a a mind-blowing like what the ████ moment. Let's say that happened, right? And you were able to delete that and watch it again. Do you think your yourself at your age now would enjoy it the same? >> I would have to get through the first like 30 episodes cuz they're drawn, kiddish, and old. >> Oh, the art style is like yeah. >> Once you once you build a relationship and get invested in the character and you're okay with it, everything is fine.
10:03 You don't trip about it once ever after that. >> you erase it from your memory and start watching it you're like this ████ sucks. >> [laughter] >> And you turn it off you're like this is ████ whack. >> It's possible and likely. It's very possible. >> You know, Airbender ████ on this. >> [laughter] >> The live action one. Cuz you know, when you're an adult you rewatch it and you're like, man this is ████ terrible. Did I used to like this ████ No wonder I was so stupid as a kid. >> That's how what Double Team was for [laughter] me. >> Which was Double Team? >> The one with Dennis Rodman and Van Damme. We were like we were like THIS ████ SUCKS AND IT'S SLOW. >> I got to do that with Con Air I think. >> Sometimes it's fun when you forget you truly like you must do this. You forgot you even saw that. And you're watching it like it is the first time. And then you get to one key scene and you're like, I've seen this ████
10:53 >> That's how I found when I watched Con Air. I recently watched it again. >> Con Air is the ████ >> Oh, you forgot that you watched it? Like as in you didn't like it now? >> Well, as it No, no, no, not like I didn't like it, but I was just like yo this movie is actually wild as ████ dude. >> It's so crazy. It's ████ wild. Remember like Johnny 23? >> Yeah, bro. That's what I was just about to bring up. You know why they call him Johnny 23? >> About to make it 24. >> Cuz he R-worded 23 chicks and he's like that's his name Johnny 23. >> So he tally he like tattooed tally's it? >> And he he goes he goes, "Only if they knew what the real count was." [laughter] And you're like it's Danny Trejo. >> [clears throat and laughter] >> That's who I haven't seen Con Air. >> What? You haven't seen Con Air? >> I haven't seen it. >> I'll eat Hold on. I think I have it. Wait, Steve Buscemi is like a Hannibal Lecter character, but he molests
11:44 children and he's like it's so crazy, dude. It's so over the top. >> And and he has whole scenes with this one girl, this one child. So, the whole time all you think is the worst is going to happen. >> Yeah, but he's like so sweet to her. >> All I know about Con Air is the plane hitting a guitar thing. >> Oh, yeah. Hard rock, the old hard rock. Another building the new hard rock guitar. >> Oh, yeah. >> Well, isn't there that scene where he's on the plane with her? >> I'm sure I would ████ love it, dude. I'll watch watch Con Air now. >> Dude, that happened to me with American Sniper. I thought I I thought I hadn't seen it. I was like, "I'll watch American Sniper." I got all the way to the end. I'm like, he d- Oh, I he dies. Duh. >> I remember this. >> [laughter] >> So, you watched the whole thing? >> Cuz you know what you know what it is? It's so sad, but you know what it is? When you see a movie on a plane, it's and then you d- you see it in like your actual home, it feels like a different movie. >> True. Cuz it's edited for time.
12:36 >> [laughter] >> Cuz it's edited It's edited for size. It's edited for It's edited for the airline. >> For size. >> Or right when the climax hit, it's always like, "Boom, please buckle your safety belt." And you just get taken out every time. >> ████ [laughter] >> Deleting memory of movies that had huge twists would be fun, though. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like Memento.
