0:00 All right, so Tigger's been bugging me to do a podcast with him. And at first I was like, so you want to come on JK and we'll we'll shoot it. He was like, no, I want to do one with just you and me. And I'm like, you know how many followers we're going to have if we start off just you and me? He's like, how many? I was like, zero. Or we can tap into our fan base, which is you guys. So let us know in the comments below if you want to see this and I'll try to convince him to come on JK cuz then there's a built-in fan base and people already love them on there. I'm like, and he was like Yeah, and he was excited about it and I didn't know how serious he was until last night when I was I was just like after our meeting actually, I was finishing up some of the stuff I was going to do on my desk and then he comes in with his iPad and he goes, Papa, can I show you some stuff? I'm like, sure. And he goes, all right, the podcast is going to be called the the whale show.
0:51 And I'm like, why the whale show? And since me and him always like the same things, we always call ourselves like twin blue twin dragons or twin blue whales cuz we just we just like the same things all the time. So we'll be called the whale show and he wrote goals, more followers than Mr. Beast. And I was like, that's a pretty high goal cuz I was like cuz we can't even do that on JK, but we'll try. >> [laughter] >> And then he had jokes written about talk about the crazy story talk about childhood crazy stories and then he had one about talk about the story of how I got the worst grade in math class. And then yeah, he had like bullet points and like posted notes on his iPad and it just blew my blew my mind that like he was that about it. You know when kids they're usually like, hey, we should go
1:42 sell lemonade at the park. You're like, sure. And then 2 weeks later you want to do it? No. Cuz they're bored, but he was like every week. Like he actually wanted to come on today. And he was like, can I come with you today? I'm like, no, actually we have some new initiatives so we got to like >> [laughter] >> I don't want you to like, you know, muddy it all up cuz we have to make sure we hit it. Um but it was pretty cool to see him want to do it. >> When are you guys going to do it? Like soon? >> So, I told him next week for sure. Um I don't know which day, but I'll probably just come in and then I'll shoot a 1-hour podcast with him and see how it goes. >> Is he still in school or like >> in summer It's on summer break right now. >> So, you guys could just roll up anytime and just record that and then you guys are going to see it here first on JK News. They love Taika videos. They do. >> They kill. And I'm excited about it because, you know, like if you guys ever done any podcast with
2:34 like your significant other or just any like close friends, it's some of the most dedicated present conversations you ever have. So, like however conversation Whatever conversation I have hanging out with Taika while driving around, I'm sure this will be like a one-on-one in-depth with him and it's going to be super cool. >> Are you going to prepare anything? >> No, I want to see what he wants to do. I'm going to let him run it. >> host? >> If he goes, "Welcome to the Blue Whale Show." [laughter] Whatever, I'm just going to let him do his thing and then see >> He's going to be the host? >> I think he wants to be the host. >> I see um I see your jujitsu champion homie. Is it Adam? >> Yeah. >> Uh he had just posted recently about Is that his son also doing jujitsu? Doesn't want to cut his hair. Right? Wants to listen this music, whatever, the you know, this killer rock thrash band or whatever that I listen to and then
3:24 you're telling me about Taika like coming in with the iPad podcast episode. You know, and it's like bro, like the apple don't fall far from the tree, you know? No matter how specific and it's it's unique to talk about the niche of like what it is that you do or like a champion jujitsu you know, father is or whatever, but like I I imagine what this was like, you know, a century or two ago or three centuries ago when you only had so many professions in your village, >> And most sons took over fathers >> Yeah, the farmer, the ████ blacksmith, or what. How many sons were like hype to follow in their dad's footsteps? >> Well, it's so interesting cuz like we stopped vlogging like when Taika pretty much came around or have like his first few years or whatever. But I don't think he's seen, I guess,
4:14 the YouTube lifestyle. My other buddy Adam and his kid Yian, like he's in his prime. So when he walks into a stadium and everyone stands up in their seats and it's like >> [gasps] >> Damn. Like Yian witnesses that, right? I go to like Chinatown and then people like, "Oh, here, can you go park my car?" I'm like, "Yeah, sure." >> [laughter] >> Like I'm like a has-been compared to like cuz I'm just like, "What? What? Do you think it's what I do that makes him want to do it?" >> It's enough to get your son to a point where he goes like to a to a peer like like, "Look me up. Put some respect on my name." So something exists. >> That's true. >> You know, that like uh makes him feel like this is a um an essence to my identity. >> I do remember bringing Taika to the old office. He didn't give a ████ And then
5:04 [laughter] and then Ryan put up the plaques and then Taika goes and he goes, "WHAT ARE THOSE? THOSE are yours?" I'm like, "Yeah, those are all the channels we had." He was like, "What?" I think I think that must be a core memory in his brain. He's like, "I'm using this during recess." >> Oh, yeah. Dude, the unlock? >> Oh, cuz he probably didn't know how many subs you had. >> Well, he he probably sees it on other YouTube channels, right? So he goes, "Wait, you know." >> the hell? >> When was there ever an unlock for you and your dad? Like I don't know if I had a lot of those, especially at a level that like >> Lakers casino. >> [laughter] >> Well, as long as long as I could see as long as your peers are into it. >> So >> It's it's like it's like you're at that age as a kid, if your friends think that thing is cool, it's the coolest thing in the world, right? But that's why when people were saying that their dad did
5:54 XYZ, you know, even when it's like sold this house or whatever, and they're like, "What does your dad do?" And I'm like, "Oh, we just like dry cleaning." >> Yeah. It's like you just feel like a piece of ████ >> Yeah. >> It doesn't matter how respectable or honorable or whatever. It's It's about what your your peers think of that thing. >> You hear that, Mr. Lee? That's what you made Anthony feel like a piece of ████ >> I said it doesn't matter how noble or respectable, right? But that That's what That's how kids are, right? So, I think if there's a relevancy there, if if somebody could be like, "Dang, your dad is that?" That's the only That's what like it's is proud to be that you feel pride in as a kid, right? >> sees people come up to you where they go, "Hey, can I take a picture with you?" >> You know what the funny thing is? I >> [laughter] >> I always try to spin it. I'm like, "Yo, they come say what's up to me." And I'm like, "You know why they say what's up to me, right?" He's like, "Cuz you do you, so I'm like, "No, cuz I'm a world champion jiu-jitsu guy."
6:44 >> Oh, you got I saw you LOSE AT NAGA. >> [laughter] >> I LOVE HOW HE CALLS YOU OUT. YOU'RE NOT EVEN THAT GOOD. >> called me out. >> Dude, when I went to go roll with them, and then I asked Tyga, I was like, "Hey, so who's better at jiu-jitsu, your mommy or daddy?" He goes, "Mom." >> Yeah, that's a fact. >> All day. >> [laughter] >> Hard fact. >> Yeah. >> But yeah, it's cool. I'm excited. I'm excited to have him on, see how it goes. And it's cool cuz uh it comes up in conversation all the time. And I broke down the math room once cuz he was telling me how like if he made a channel, he said it's going to crush. And I was like, "You know how hard it is to even get like 10,000 views?" And he's like, "What do you mean? I just got to make a video." And I'm like, "You make a video right now by yourself, it's probably going to be zero views." And I'm like, "You need to make 100 videos, and each one of them gets 100 views, that's like 10,000 views."
7:34 >> Stunting his growth with your old dinosaur data? You don't think like a kid algorithmically, like at his age doing ████ just on his own accord is not going to be way more successful than anything that we're doing now. >> I've seen it I've seen his videos. And a lot of them suck ass. [laughter] >> Brother, let him up Do you upload them? Upload them. >> Someone told me he doesn't want me to. >> What's ready? >> There's some funny ass ones actually. >> What's the premise on them? >> They're random, man. >> I think I just think in today's world, man, we don't know what you know? Everything we think we know That's true. That's true. >> In his kid world, though, it might go viral with his crowd. >> Yeah. >> It's like Ryan's Toys, you know? >> Yes, we don't know, man. >> Right now he's in the phase of uh trick shots. So, he'll be in the backyard with his iPad and he's just throwing a hundred bottles like Dude Perfect stuff trying
8:26 to land the perfect trick shot. Did you tell him that it was all edited? >> Dude Perfect is probably my most jealous YouTube venture possibility ever. >> Yeah. Why? >> Just because like the opportunities that like when you're the first at something that like technically I'm not trying to take anything away, but technically anybody could get good at that in a sense. >> But you got to be good. >> Technically. >> No, technically good. [laughter] >> But the thing is you get better because it becomes your thing. So, then you become the guy who Yeah. Yeah. >> All the attempts you >> Yeah, so now you're you're practicing something a million times over anyway. So, again, I mean Deets was doing it at a moment. Those were like a lot of his videos, too, but like he wasn't Dude Perfect doing it, you know, because like they were doing it first as well, I think. I think if Deets maybe was doing
9:16 those things before Dude Perfect started it, maybe Deets would be Dude Perfect. I don't know, right? The point is like you become what you start and timing is everything. I get jealous because I look at that one and I'm like that one is ████ fun. >> No matter what in any age, I think at like 70 years old, if I chuck a ball and it makes it in an impossible shot, the world still bows to your feet. >> All it takes is that one and then it was worth it all. You know, you're like, "Oh my god, that was amazing." >> Especially in video format. It's not even like that the roar of the crowd in the moment and you don't get a mess up. It's like you did a thousand, you got the one hit, you uploaded that and the world's like, "This is sick." >> I think JK is going to turn into a trick shot channel. >> Yeah, let's do it. >> Let's just do it, boys. Let's just Let's just make a hard pivot. I hope you guys are okay with this. Guys, ready to see us pivot? And we'll we'll we'll talk while we do it, though. How about that?
10:07 That's the new pivot. We have a little whole like a little water bottle we're trying to hit the ping pong ball in it, whatever, while we talk. No? >> I was doing ████ like this for a little bit on YouTube, too, with I was doing this thing during during the woah, this dance move where everybody was just hitting this ████ woah. So, I was doing this woah I ended up calling it ████ hashtag Anthony. I was going like stupid viral for the dumbest stuff, honestly. And I just kept on doing this one. I stopped doing my own regular dance videos cuz like why would I work for like hours caring about something when I could do something for like 10 minutes and be like, "Oh, why don't we just do it like this and get like 100 times more views?" So, I rode this for a little bit. Afterwards, I realized that this means nothing to me in my life. So, I was like, "Let me exit it before it becomes my identity." And I did this stupid other artist thing where I ended it before I could have ridden it longer like a smart person, but I like being dumb. Anyways, I got to the point where I had to evolve what I was doing cuz you can't just do
10:57 the same thing. So, then the trick shot element became a part of it. It was It was surprising where the thing came from, a hat falling on your head, thinking it was going to fall on your head but landing on your foot and then hitting the woah afterwards. Just stupid ████ like this. So, next thing you know, I'm just practicing the same thing for hours, sweating my ass off, doing like the simplest thing, but then the gratification of like a 6-second video when you hit something and everybody's entertained by it is so much easier and more rewarding, actually, than trying super hard to do like write a really funny skit with 18 locations, multiple costumes, people showing up on time and having a PA, getting kicked out >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> You know what I mean? >> That's why JK News survived and JK Films didn't. >> But that's what I look at something like a Dude Perfect and I'm like, that one That one's so fun.
11:47 That one if I was the human that was there doing 3,000 attempts and hitting the one and then editing that for the for the world that's the one I wish I could have started earlier. >> Definitely scalable, they're in Target. >> Yeah, and then you're meeting the coolest people and you're going to the coolest stadiums and now they're ████ their office, which is really just like a film studio for the craziest trick everything, is just the ████ most boy adult playpen ever. >> It's like a Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory but on steroids. >> Yeah. >> Exactly, even Rob Dyrdek had to be like ex- like insanely phenomenal at something. >> Yeah. >> With the Dude Perfect thing I I do again still think >> Takes mad skills. >> Yes, it does. But like >> But it makes you feel like everyone can do it. >> But yeah, you get to find the skills while you're doing it and only show the success. You the skating is different. Like you got to have a whole different
12:38 realm of got good at it and then started doing the stuff, right? This was like you can as you're learning but you still got lucky one time so you filmed and uploaded that one. As you're getting better you just uploaded the one that worked. Yeah. Anyways, I'm just jealous. Whatever.
