0:00 We just got to remaster the audio and the visual for for Mr. Rogers and just rerun that >> honestly. >> Yeah, Mr. Rogers is awesome, man. >> It's still relevant. >> You gonna be a good neighbor. >> Yeah, it's really cool. >> Did you guys all rage out during the trolley part? Cuz that s██████ pissed me off. >> Wait, what? >> Every single time the trolley came out, I was like that mother. >> I think you needed more compassion and intelligence and empathy. [Music] Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Careful Boys where we have Hannah with us today. [Applause] >> Yes, cuz you're from UK. >> UK. >> That's never going to die. >> As always, we want to thank uh everybody who subscribes to our Patreon. >> Thank you guys. >> And everybody who does not only makes it

0:50 so that this channel won't die potentially, maybe hopefully at least slowly. Um, but also you get to join in our Discord and chat with us from time to time. You even make some suggestions and ask some questions. So, here's a question from our Discord from Mr. Zimuro. I believe you're a mister because you're uh icon is a >> call you mister or Mrs. or mister. >> Uh, mister. >> Ask, "Hey, what things from your childhood that aren't around now will you raise your children with? Old TV shows, toys, old school video games, stuff like that." Oh, >> I've been seeing a lot of people like doing just '90s cartoons cuz something about modern ones are starting to mess with the minds too crazy. Like they're too um it's like an it's like an Coke addiction. >> Like what what '90s cartoons? >> The ones we grew up on. So like they're showing them all of like Sesame Street or like not well it's not a cartoon but

1:42 you know like Yeah. >> I think like the if you want to go not the conspiracy route but like the more subconscious route. I think they they want um the current shows to kind of reflect modern society like you have like a absent dad or whatever >> modern tolerances. >> Yeah. And then so it's like like subconsciously you're ingraining that's the normal versus the with the way we grew up it was nuclear families like family matters full house everyone was around. >> So it's almost like >> that's true. >> Full house had no mom. >> Full Okay. Yeah. Yeah. But family matters. >> That was kind of different. That was like revolutionary. >> Didn't she pass away? >> I don't know. I forget. >> But that that was a revolutionary story. Um like a like a moment. Yeah. >> Cuz it's like a no mom and then you have gay daddies, >> right? It's like they're dysfunctional or married with children. They're dysfunctional but they're still together.

2:32 >> So I feel like people are like I want my kids to see what a nuclear family looks like instead of >> like what you should strive for. >> Yeah. What you should strive for versus it's already ████ up. you know, it's already the less preferred outcome and then you you're just okay. >> Normalized like broken families. >> Yeah. >> Or or a good or a good perspective of that was like Fresh Prince of Belair >> where Will would come and participate in a nuclear family and like be shown an example of one. Yeah. >> Or like Family Matters >> that was mentioned. >> He wasn't there though. >> We were still Yeah. I do I do like the uh the idea that like if um like I'll see with my sister's kids and stuff like they might be watching random like cartoon shows or things or play with things that exist today that are new IPs

3:22 that are really popping for kids today but they don't have the relative like the how imagine if like uh my kid's daughter was playing with Barbies and she played with Barbies when she was a kid so they would have some sort of connection there but if it's like a new IP like okay cool like that's what you like versus that's also what I liked, this is why I liked it, and we can connect on it, you know, like I the the certain IPs like Power Rangers or Teenage Mut Ninja Turtles that are kind of almost like everlasting. >> Yeah. >> Like hypothetically, if like, you know, uh my son or something were to get in that and be like, I like that when I was a kid, then you you'd vibe out and you'd really world build and play with that, you know? >> Yeah. Ninja Turtle is a big one for that. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. They keep on reinventing that for the next gen. But you want your kids to be lame. Like they're all like they can't fit in cuz they're just like watching other stuff and the other kids are just like, "I don't know what that

4:12 is." And they're like watching outdated stuff. >> Well, that's why if it's still modern today, >> if things are still being rebooted, it's not like uh >> like you're watching the throwback version. >> It's not like I'm just going to show my son like Blood Sport over and over and he can't >> he can't relate with any of the other kids. >> Absolutely nothing wrong with that. >> True. Mo most of the reason you watch stuff when you're a kid is in order to talk about it with the other kids. That's true. >> You're all into it together. It's like a fad like whatever. >> But >> it is weird though cuz we came from like Power Rangers to like the next might be Woke Rangers and I'm just like Rangers. >> Who do they beat up? >> They don't. >> Inequality. >> Yeah. >> Our Woke Rangers was Captain Planet. >> Captain Planet was fire though. >> Heart. The most useless ████ heart. >> Captain Planet was dope, though.

5:02 >> Captain Planet was dope. Yeah, it was cool. He was putting out uh forest fires and stuff with Hart. >> I was Captain Planet for Halloween at a quest party. >> Oh, yeah. That was nice. >> You know, that was like some woke propaganda ████ right? But it was >> Captain Planet woke though. >> Well, it was before woke. But yeah, it was it's >> But you know what is funny because Yeah, it does seem like the the lessons are common sense in a way. Like, well, yeah, don't ████ dump the oil in the ocean. But then the funny thing is that that's teaching you as Joe not to do that when the companies don't stop doing it. You know what I mean? It's like, "Hey Joe, don't dump oil in the ocean." Like, "I don't want to do that." Yeah. >> I'm not I'm not out there fracking in the ocean. >> I'm not doing that. >> You're teaching children >> because all the things that villains do are what corporations do. It's not the common guy throwing a freaking candy

5:52 wrapper out of his >> They want you to have outrage for it. >> Yeah. It's really funny actually when you think of it that way. Yeah. >> What do you have? What's something you grew up with? >> Playing outside. >> That's like >> That's kind of a huge one. >> I don't see that anymore. Yeah. Just kicking them out the door. >> You have meadows. >> Not in Blackpool. We don't >> Yo, that's that was refreshing going to England with you >> is there's so many kids playing outside. >> Like >> Oh, yeah. Yeah, >> we went to the beach and it was the one of the s████████ beaches I've ever seen, but they ████ are out, dude. >> Beach. It's beautiful. >> The water was brown. I never seen a brown beach water. It's just sand. >> That ████ looked like the ████ Gangas River. The Gang River.

6:42 >> Clean and dunes. It's beautiful. >> All right. The dunes are cool. >> Yeah, the dunes. Yeah. Yeah. >> When I was pretty shocked at how many people, you know, like those old 1930s pictures of like Santa Monica and you just see a ████ ton of people. It looked like that. >> Wow. >> And I was like, why is there so? And they're like, man, it's cold as ████ right? >> Like everybody's sunburned. >> It's She got sunburned, dude. And it was it was foggy and gloomy and she got sunburned. >> Yeah. Like not even like a a good amount of sunburn. Bro, it was it was 67° and everyone's in bikinis and thongs. >> It was not. It was like 78°. >> No, it was cold as ████ dude. >> I got a picture of you shirtless, ████ Let me get this ████ out >> cuz I wanted some sun. >> Your nipples Your nipples better not be soft.

7:32 >> Let me get this up. >> No, but the the difference is how many like kids are out playing. There's so many. >> I love seeing that. Yeah. If you go to the beaches here, I think there's still a bunch of kids playing. >> Look at that. Shirtless. >> That is not gloomy. >> That's not gloomy. >> That's not gloomy at all. The the overcast went away by that time. It was gone. >> It went away. That's why I took my shirt off. >> Sunny ass nice day. There's not a cloud in the sky. >> Having a laugh. >> Captain hat. >> Having a laugh. >> I don't see any kids in there. >> Yeah, I know. I avoided them. Yeah, but they're they're like not just there, but like just in the ████ village, the the main street, you go to the you go to the park, they actually use the park. >> There's like just grandparents just

8:23 taking their kid there. There's like there's like a lady with a newborn on a ████ picnic blanket. There there's everywhere, dude. >> It's just like seeing people not apprehensive or not scared is nice. >> Everyone's safe together. >> Yeah. Like you can see that out here, but you know they're like on edge. >> Find a perfect spot though. You can't just do that anywhere, >> right? >> And there's bums like I I think there was like five bums on the main street that we were on. But people just walk outside and like talk to him and then give them change. Like they're normal folks, right? >> They're non-threatening. >> Yeah. This one dude was like >> telling me the time, asking me for the time and I tell him the time and I was like, "This ████ going to ask me for money." And he just went, "Oh." like he's late for an appointment and he got out and he ████ left. >> Yeah, that would be a big one though.

9:13 >> But you, Nicholas, >> in my head, it's probably just like >> beating up my kids a little bit more, you know? Keep that old school. >> That's dope. >> No, I'm just kidding. I wouldn't >> I wouldn't do that. That's a joke. That was a joke. That was a joke. >> All the flower kids, man. No, I think I think it's a similar sentiment of like playing like cuz for me, dude, growing up as a kid, I didn't really get to play outside with my friends like that. I was kind of Yeah, dude. It was weird like growing up, I was just kind of like by myself all the time. >> Was your neighborhood dangerous? >> No, it wasn't. >> Cuz he's got nothing but sisters. >> They want to ████ >> probably play cheerleader and he's out here like, man, I want to Who's going to play Power Rangers with me? >> I was just setting things on fire. Like that's what my thing to do was. I just like setting things on fire. like chopping. I got in a phase where I found an axe and I found a bunch of like wood and I was just chopping wood, dude. Like

10:04 I had a fun time chopping wood as >> I had a good woodworking phase as well >> cuz you know what it was? It was like as soon as you make the connection you're like bro that was clean. Did you see how clean that that cut was? >> You hit the grain just right. >> Yeah. You're like dude that was easy. And you just kept doing it. I don't know why. And then I would I would try to like set things on fire. So like playing outside as a kid. I think that's a huge thing cuz you would explore but I couldn't do that with >> with uh like my my like group of friends. I guess I just had to do that by myself. >> You mean like your mom wouldn't let you like out or like >> she would let me out in the backyard and that's when I would just ████ around and >> go to the shed and be like what kind of paint thinners should I use to sound fire today. >> That one looks This one has the fire sign on it and I was like that's perfect. >> Yo, I make fire pits and ████ you know. That was that was probably the best. >> On your pits, you'd make the whole pit. >> I would dig. >> Oh, that's good. And then uh

10:55 >> so you were unsupervised for quite a long period. >> Yeah, dude. >> I would just go outside and I'd say I go play basketball, but then I would be like, "All right, now I I'm shooting hoops." But now I have this little corner >> and I would like uh make booby traps with it and stuff. >> Burn some ████ >> I would like shoot shoot uh I shot a squirrel with a BB gun and I immediately went like that felt terrible. I don't want to do that again. That made me feel really bad. >> Yeah, that one changed your life a little bit. Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. But then I went back to setting things on fire and that was good. That was safe though. I was real safe. >> Fire will be around for a while. >> So, I'm going to make let my kid play with some fire. Maybe supervised though. Obviously, I'm not a bad dad. >> Probably teach him some good pyro stuff, huh? >> Yeah. Yeah. This is the right combination that you need. >> What about you, Anthony? >> A camping trip. He wanted to make bombs and I was so tempted to teach him how to make one. >> Make How would you make one?

11:46 >> He like he would come up to us and be like, "Oh, he's collecting all this stuff." And we're like, "What are you doing with that?" And he's like, "I'm going to make a bomb." Oh my god. Have at it, kid. >> See how far you can go. >> He was collecting metal for shratinal. >> What? >> ████ >> Yo, that's crazy. >> He knows how. >> Yo, one of my cousins was talking to my mom in Singapore and she was like, "So, like there's these kids at school and they it caused me a lot of problems. So, I'm going to start a riot with my friends." And he's explaining how he and he was like drawing a diagram for my mom of like this is how I'm going to start the riot. And my mom was like, "What the ████ dude? >> I'm going start a riot. I'm going start a riot at school. I'm going to get all these kids and we're going to we're going to run. We're going to attack these kids." And >> oh, under the veil of like chaos. >> That's like jail, dude. This was reincarnated from jail. And I was like,

12:37 "What the ████ is up with my family, bro?" >> They believe it, too. That's the funny thing with these kids. >> He He was saying it so calmly and just like matter of fact, like, "Oh, yeah. That's of course I can't do it that way. I'll get in trouble if I want their fight and they're going to look straight at me. Yeah, it was some omocron stuff. That's good. >> Oh, yeah. Is there like a modern new age like Mr. Rogers? >> Wasn't it that Miss Rachel? >> Rachel. >> Mr. Rogers is so good. >> Oh, Miss Rachel probably. Huh. >> Miss Rachel. I don't even know what that is. >> I don't know what she does. I know she has a show and it's for kids and kids really like it and she that's all I know about her. >> And they teach you like lessons and stuff and he talks about her day like this. >> She's on a phase right now where she's like saving kids from Gaza. That's like that's been on her show. >> Mr. Rogers, it's different because it's a man being compassionate. >> Oh yeah. >> And I think that's what Mr. Rogers hella

13:27 resonated with me like perfectly. Whatever his intention was and how to reach kids got me 100%. >> It's cuz he autistic. Did you see he ████ connects the >> No, seriously. Like he's like so like savant level that he understands like what that kid is thinking at that age and then adults just didn't get it. That's not empathy, >> dude. Extreme can't just be intelligent. >> That's not compassion. That's not being compassionate. >> Brain being good. >> There was something so soothing about Mr. Rogers. Like when he'd come in the door and he'd take his jacket off like that whole I I that's burning my shoes. >> Yeah. And the way he's just like talking to you, you're like, "How come no one talks to me like that?" >> All the characters in the neighborhood. >> Just so nice. >> Yeah. I It just >> I know. And it it worked on me. It worked on me. You just say >> you're like that guy is a good guy but

14:18 he might be but he's a good guy. >> I don't know if there's something like that for kids where it's a guy or like a man that's like being I guess not like macho. >> What about Blue's Clues >> or Bluey? >> I don't know. >> Blue is good. They're Australian a goofy dude. >> We just got to remaster the audio and the visual for for Mr. Rogers and just rerun that >> honestly. >> Yeah, Mr. Rogers is awesome, man. >> Bring that ████ back. >> It's still relevant.
