0:00 I've known a lot of dudes who will judge and just not even they'll just pre-select who wins because that's their friend yeah they don't even care wow say their name yeah [Music] do you guys know what's going on in the Irish dancing world right now yes I don't know is it I could just imagine Steve finding this article last night and it's like I can't wait to Tee It Up to these ████ guys well dancers she's a dancer too yeah Irish dancing river dancing is it I got it I'm not even a dancer ding ding ding I can do that ████ right I don't know every Irish dancer is like not the same thing you know the dance community's not talking about the Irish dancing somehow we're blocked out from this gossip oh wow
0:51 somehow maybe someone's trying to save us how would you guys so if you guys were cheating at dancing which I think one of you has done before I won't say who I clearly cheated to be second place [Laughter] it's harder to do Anthony Lee was stealing votes how would you cheat at dancing cheat at dancing like the real way like you're wearing like double shoes or some ████ double shoes you gotta Grease the judges I don't know like how do you how do you cheat at this you gotta grease how would you cheat at your type of dancing and my type of dancing probably extra shoes take muscle relaxers and you're like ████ actually but so relaxer I think you'd have to do some do something to your competitive yeah oh yeah yeah like Tonya Harding that ████ right Tyler's shoelaces
1:41 together yeah while they're dancing laxative in the monster take the batteries out of the lights before they perform yo laxative in the monster might be fire dude yeah in a Monster yeah laxative would be yeah Ex-Lax I don't know what's it I mean other than like you know greasing the judges or some ████ yeah that's the kind of thing or maybe like uh right before our competitors just like putting oil on the ████ stage so ding ding ding that's what's going on right now there's allegations of competition fixing and cheating in the Irish dancing Community sick oh that's uh you know what though drama it means more in that Community because Irish dancing is more of a cultural route like they'll that s███'s been around you think we ain't got culture hundreds of years though so you
2:31 think they need something to spice it up or something technically not even allowed to do what we do yeah we'll get in trouble depending on who you talking about yeah oh because it's like you're you're ripping off somebody's culture we're only allowed to do derivatives of shenyoon which is a lot of variety great marketing by the way which is thousands of years back so the Irish dancing commission a governing body known as known in Irish as I don't ████ care [Laughter] you should care I don't has appointed a former judge to investigate claims that prominent dance schools and teachers have rigged competitions it has emerged this week it was it is alleged that at least 12 teachers in Ireland and other countries conspired to ensure certain dancers scored highly in international tournaments known as who gives a ████ International Irish tournaments yep wait
3:21 that sucks only because um if a teacher or like a uh you know a staff member or whatever it's if it's not like the kids or like the team's fault you know what I mean if it's like they're directors and whatnot then that like can totally ████ up their entire experience right and their perception of their self-worth as a dancer right pretty brutal but they're doing it so they can get more funding that's the reason why they're doing it dude oh I think so right because our teams win everything and they win everything they get way more funding so they should be doing that did second place win a lot of money never did you guys get a lot of money no not after taxes um and you gotta split like ████ 75 dances yeah eight ways yeah God damn 75 dances son of a ████ isn't it that's crazy does it admission uh like the age of the dancers or like what that
4:12 bracket of competition or no it just tries to tell me a bunch of ████ Irish words I don't give a ████ about Irish words yeah it's like are they still written in English it's like these are international tournaments are known as fish Hannah and it's like okay yeah it's it's actual language right what is it called Gaelic Gaelic one of my clients speaks Gaelic and I was like one why two why who do you speak it to yeah who exactly who do you conversate with and then he was showing me some words and I was like yo this is crazy does it go to like the Renaissance Fair every year I don't think so what's up what's the Gaelic word I wish I could tell you really oh well that is English dude I don't know but he says it fast and it becomes one word I know English when I hear it and that's English Steve are you you're Irish right are you a little Irish I'm a
5:02 little bit Irish Colleen are you a little Irish as well I'm not okay lucky I asked you guys yesterday and you guys told me everything and I forgot but do you know any like Irish deep cut stuff like from your history I know about the IRA car bombings I don't know what my stance is on it okay because I don't know anything about it yeah that's true I think probably carbon's bad yeah probably yeah but I don't know I don't know what their politics is or anything like that is what I'm getting at like I don't know what so you're saying you think the IRA is connected to this dance cheat bro I think they're connected to ████ everything in Ireland because I don't know much about it I don't think anything moves the IRA is deep in the pockets of the dance are they like the Irish mafia and government put together all right I think it's all in one I only know about the IRA through Sons of Anarchy and they sell guns through Hell's Angels so same I only know about
5:52 it through media ████ like like movies and stuff like like watching like peaky blinders yeah like one of the Harrison Ford Tom Clancy movies had some fugitive yeah fugitive I think no I don't know [Music] well they got to maintain that because they are the IRA right there you go I literally don't know they got to go these guys see that's the thing about Irish stuff like we should dive a little deeper in it no no dive deeper into dance stuff please yeah but through Irish and then we go back we backtrack through dance Irish dance you know so so apparently um they're the allegations are uh quote such unethical Behavior
6:43 cannot and will not be tolerated by this organization and and they're trying to make sure that they have like re-established fairness and transparency because not everyone's like questioning like this dance body what's fair though that's interesting I mean there are just judges that just choose what they ████ choose regardless right they're subjective there's just bad judges yeah with it it was really just getting greased like the judging people were just getting money on the side therefore they were making calls yep 12 teachers were requesting our offering to fix competitions and that was discovered by the governing body whoa I wonder what like the price is like if I'm like a judge I'm just out of curiosity you know I wouldn't do this what would be your price let's say you're judging a dance show well it's a big dance show someone goes here's a thousand bucks can you swing it the
7:33 other way is it a televised answer or a community dance show televised well it's more worthy televised I feel like televised you can't do that you know what I mean you're gonna get caught how would you know how would they know it's just your opinion all right what if it's one of those um those like giant competitions was like a thousand Studios send their kids out guys because those are the ones that can benefit from cheating because their studio will gain popularity and more students come in and that also those competitions oftentimes are like three days and you're doing like all these age categories and you're just spending 12 hours just judging ████ hunches and numbers so you also have way less care almost you start desensing desensitizing yourself to like the humans you're just like watching the next school so you don't have relationships you're just kind of like what's your price what's your price say there's 12 rounds come on let ████ the amount of money in the dance
8:23 Community is already so little and we get paid so little to judge so I think it was pretty low it's like ten dollars that's a good answer 300 that's true 300 bucks no not more than that for sure I think uh I think I could get greased for like 20 grand wow I think these Studios have that money though well I just need to be able to buy my plane ticket and get away and you know into a non-ess tradition Island because the dance company is crazy they're connected to the IRA they can find me good point will it be a good way for them to pay you the 20 G's without uh tracking without like if people were to like scrutinize they'd be like do I have Joe helping me or is it just by myself no not yet Joseph I don't know if he's gonna buy the plane for me and then again no no no he's in he's in Hawaii Dude planes are 30 grand I think yeah
9:16 well I mean the way that we've always done it when we do International stuff is we take cash and we split it amongst the homies and then everybody carries it back in their bags period oh isn't that scary so that's why you have a lot of kinjas so you guys could run ████ fast I'm on Quest Crew dude if the IRA is subscribed I'm Quest Crew the easiest way would have just been for them to buy fake digital classes from you guys because there's no proof that you even like redeem them yeah wow send them a fake invoice that's a good way to move money Brian's wild why are you so experienced why do you know this sorry that's smart how's it got answers just on depth for all the shady ████ do you think that as Joe's doing the stupid plain bit Ryan's just sitting there like because that's actually for the sake of comedy of just going along with it but I'm like come on
10:06 he's like I know a guy on Fiverr that could do it like I was like that's not how you that's not how you want Coke yeah all right damn that's actually pretty genius dude don't do it though any of you guys do you know anybody who's uh ████ cheating in some damn ████ in our world uh not for you know what's funny not for money but just for like because that's your homie I've known a lot of dudes who will judge and just not even they'll just pre-select who wins because that's their friend and they don't give a ████ yeah they don't even watch the battle they're just like this yeah they don't even care wow say their name yeah you think that's worse and that's not me that's not me like just going oh I have a feeling it's like no like there they've said I don't give a ████ is that at a local level competition that's local ████ okay so it is a local level but to to these dancers there is no
10:57 difference whether it's TV local like your neighborhood sock hop it's that respect is equal to anything plus if you don't win your local stuff you can't even get qualified into some of the bigger stuff sometimes that like actually has you know like um some sort of sponsorship or TV backing you know what I mean they're all they're already like cherry picking selecting stuff anyway yeah I have some uh like power lifting reference and then so in the way like a powerlifting meet Works don't be like 10 20 people competing just kind of like any any like uh almost sport where there's like there's 10 people on the track racing only the first three are going to get medals the other seven if they just don't get disqualified or snap an ankle they're pretty happy just to be there so power lift things like that too and then so um if we if like my gym or my our team
11:47 goes and then the ref can tell that oh this person is just brand new or whatever and she's not even gonna meddle or do anything like that just to kind of give them like motivation so like for us it's like if you the squad has to hit a certain depth and then the the ref will give him like a white light like the ref will literally like the squad was a little bit higher hit the white light and look at me and like smile real quick thank you but it's just thick we just tell it oh it's just for a beginner it's just like it's just to pass them on to the next level I'm like that's all right so you don't like get all sad at your very first power level when we judge Junior competitions a lot of times the judges will get together and stuff and we'll be like hey what's everybody's lowest score yeah that they're gonna give they'll be like all right nobody go if it's like out of 10 or out of 100 like nobody go under the 50. yeah otherwise like you definitely always have that person's like this sucks and they're just actually grading in their mind objectively yeah but then it's like if you don't have Olympic style scoring
12:38 already in place where you're dropping the highest the lowest score or something like that then this person one person and that's their truth of judging and it crushes them though destroys somebody well what if you guys pick a set like lowest score and then somebody does not bring it at all and they're getting the lowest score and that's like the charity for them to be like oh dude 50 is good for you it makes sense because you still want to be constructive like these teams can get better but they're just going to dismantle themselves if you just go you guys have no ████ hole like plus it's not as objective like let's say with and this is my assumption let's say something with like power lifting her it's like if they lifted this many pounds and they did it this many times it's like a stat it's a number it's like recorded but like with dance it's half of it is so subjective anyway it's like your opinion so even when a team could be like super technically sound but you could be like but I like this artistic Choice better so I'm gonna give this
13:28 higher points and then that's like unarguable you know what I mean because there's such a 50 physicality to it and like such a fifty percent just are artistic ability or creative choices and then the judges kind of have that leeway to to choose their preferences way more gray area for us how do you tell a kid though it's like hey you're just not ████ serving you tell them you tell them hey you tried really good and then you tell their coach and this kid's not doing good oh okay that foundation of the lowest score is like the the equivalent to a participation award yeah that hurts my feelings [Music]
