0:00 just post more videos of you guys doing breaking cuz what the you guys do are pretty crazy but in in the Australian uniform dude that's going to be a hot Halloween costume we should just all be Ray I'm going to dress like the P vter whose dick hit the thing t a p [Music] my all right so I feel like we finally warmed up to this topic everybody in every video in every IG Post in the last like week and a half has been telling us to talk about Ray Gun oh we're not doing this isn't going to be an OTR I can't wait to talk about it with you we could talk about it as long no 20 minutes dude 25 minutes you can't you can't do a tner on Ray Gun oh God okay fine we will talk about it for as long as you guys want why is her name ray gun and why is it such a cool it's Rachel gun I know that's annoying dude can I tell you what I know and you guys tell me if I'm correct why is your AKA dick nun dick nun is good cuz it's funny you know ray

0:51 gun is like it's a little too cool yeah yeah kind so she has a master's she has a no PhD in break dancing as you guys who are I know if it's in break no it's something else it was like something unrelated propaganda it's like you know how people can have a master or they can have a a degree that has a focus I think that's kind of what it is what was her focus it was in break dancing I'll tell you that 36-year-old dancer lecture at Sydney's Makari MCC University she earned her PhD in cultural studies in 07 and described herself on the school's website as being interested in the cultural politics of breaking okay so how do you does that make you want now that we're there's been some time already there are a a couple really good things that have come from this B boy Victor one of our American Representatives yeah he said that like he's never gotten more like messages about like hey like I

1:42 found you through this whole like Rachel gun thing wow so that's the thing that we're all hoping for that there's some kind of like a positive outcome ofing into break dancing yeah like it's has more eyes whatever yeah like most people are making jokes about it but then even if among that you know millions and millions of people that are laughing about this if there's like still a higher amount of people interested in it than normal that's good for the scene I did watch more of the break breaking I almost said break dancing I'm not a ████ newbie dude I don't know what the time it is no it's B boy break dancing I've been watching a lot more of of the uh what do you call matches pretty good battles sure battles battles I've been watching more battles because of ray gun yeah cuz then it ████ up everyone's algorithm now like it's forcing it on them now cuz it thinks that they want to see it yeah you know what's funny is good thing though

2:32 because there's so many uh dance friends I have they're like super proud right but then like the meme pages I follow not just her but they think it's hilarious that breaking is on the Olympics and they're just laughing they're like oh my God I can't believe the Olympics has this dance ████ on there for the safety of being uh righteous dance members in the community and stuff like that we'll we'll throw a couple disclaimers of some things real quick just so there are some facts spoken on JK news and then after that we can all just throw down our opinions on and funny thoughts okay uh number one like we talked about it is breaking it's not break dancing so get your ████ right number two um there has been like over 50,000 people that signed a petition on like petition.org or change.org or whatever about uh wanting to do an investigation and inquiry into how Rachel or Ray Gun potentially uh kind of scammed the

3:23 system because apparently it was her husband right her husband's like the board but that that that petition was taken down and she addressed it or whatever so Technic Tech Al we can still throw our opinions on it but technically that's like no longer being pushed um another huge thing is that people are saying that oh because of her poor act or or you know display uh breaking is no longer the LA Olympics in 2028 that's not true I still believe it though I still believe it it's a very very funny narrative I'm going to push that narrative single it was never in La before Paris started yeah that decision was made many months ago prior to and and you know for that out of all places it should be La though yeah for real you would think but then it's La itself that didn't want it new's against breaking no he just whack wack so so like those those are things that we want to get out

4:13 the way uh first and foremost and then of course we still have to like as much shine as like one person is getting for the virality of report performance uh just for the sake of being dope community members you also want to give shine to the people that killed it like B boy Phil wizard from Canada who took gold you know I mean to uh everybody who was saying Shar kicks and Victor was really the gold round battle whatever that's also opinion but still like be with Victor who plays third second place was Danny Dan from France that's for the B boys for the B girls of course you got to give it up to B girl Amy from Japan second was B girl NAA from I still think it's Lithuania and then third place was who won third oh uh 671 from China so so Props to the people that actually did place and represent breaking at a super high level like if you really watch their

5:04 rounds and what they had to put down it's like that's ████ incredible who's your favorite though who's your favorite who's your favorite performer Logistics all day all the way just like friend and family like Logan all the way lowy kind of got robbed a little bit but like that's the whole point of it it's any given day it is a subjective thing you can complain for years at every single battle but that's not the point the point is like people going out there and like it's anybody's anybody's day do you feel like the commentators did a good job of commentating like the understanding of the sport I think kid David and Ronnie were great I think kid David is ████ amazing at commentating that's my opinion I thought I think I thought they added a lot to it cuz it helped me understand what the scoring criteria was cuz I didn't know what the ████ I was looking at so I kind of understood but I'm going to leave it up to the actual B boys in the room to like give their deeper comments I'm just like a fan of the game and stuff so um B boy Ryan B boy can off camera that those are

5:56 those are my disclaimers I want to get out just for the sake of like being proud of the community cuz that's what everybody in the commun is trying to do is like rather than like repost this meme of her like they're trying to implement more like real breaking I wish you guys were a little bit more mean spirited but now that but now that we've said all and done all that unless you guys want to add anything yeah for sure let's go to town if I was a non-binary break dancer and I don't go be boy or be girl what should I be you should not be be them be them just be them yeah you don't be girl them oh ████ be boy they well bday you don't even need b day you don't even need to have B boy or be girl in your name at all what you don't have to be like B boy storm or B boy wi you don't have to you could just be jits then you could just be gay ass Joe G Jo gay

6:47 Jo gay ass spinning Joseph that's finishing yeah I what's your breaking name Ryan it's just Rye yeah subin ryane is a cool one be girl be girl Rye where does rye come from chos my friend uh be girl Ryan is kind of cool it started because the my first crew they we they made the name anime for me because I always like looked like a ████ cartoon okay yeah and then um and then when I wrote anime on like signup sheets they didn't know that that word was new back then so they say Ryan well they didn't know what anime even was like a lot of like B boys and then my friend Adam Bomb like gave me he was like it should be my anime I was like oh that's ████ tight so then I I wrote down the signup sheets and they would read it wrong so I would miss my name and I would miss the whole

7:37 battlez they would go like oh next up Ryan Ryan to the floor and I would miss it so then I spelled it phonetically with the May on it so then they would have to like say it yeah that's where that came from how many times did you miss before you started correcting them twice as a as a b boy Legend B boy I wouldn't even say that are you leg as like legend in the game hey he is a b boy Legend I'll say it he's Legend you just went into your Legend just goes into a different character Arc I took a different skill tree how does it feel like to see this in the Olympics and get ████ laughed at I think it's I think it's honestly like I I do think it sucks because I saw firsthand like what it was like for there there were B boys that they dying

8:28 wish like B boys that have passed that are legends that one of their dying wishes was to see breaking in the Olympics wow like so it sucks to to have that like when you're aware of that yeah like oh man if this guy was still around to see this you know but then you see where the focus has gone it's like ████ man like but again like there a girl hopping like that like a kangaroo but it's like again it's hard to say that like there's again like we're all just waiting for the long-term benefit of this if it never comes then it just ████ sucks I think it'll definitely happen for sure because think about all the people that I would never experience having a conversation about breaking with but now people are talking about way more and it's literally everywhere I can't stop seeing this girl wherever I go but then there's also this this thing separately right in the I I want to say

9:19 like the late ' 80s early '90s breaking had a really like bad death where like it became so oversaturated that people were making fun of it that they'd be spitting on their butt going like look I'm boy you know like it was that whole like that generation went through that where they had mad identity crisis because they were on top of the world like the star B boys of that era and then it dropped to nothing and they all had to like get different jobs some of them like got into ████ crime and passed away like really bad ████ uh it's the opportunities that won't come because of this that I'm afraid of that like people will think it's just a joke and they'll always see it the way that Reay gun did it and that's not something you can control but it's something where like like the other day like the practices that I host we have a be girl there that practicing and she SATs something there ████ broke my heart she's just like she's sitting there

10:10 trying to lab some moves and she's like does this look like ray gun and it's that where I'm like I ████ hate that to someone to most people it probably does and that's the part that I'm like ████ what up guys thank you for watching us for so long if you like what we do please support our patreon Joe tell tell them what we have to offer so every week you get two videos one never relased director's cut and another one two hot for YouTube patreon only every freaking week you get that and you get access to our Discord where you can come chat with us and ask us questions that become episodes here cuz we're going to answer them and we're going to take it seriously and we want to give you the responses that you want so come stay connected with us join our patreon click the description below for full details why why why do you think it gets so much

11:01 like uh I want to say people are really sassy about breaking like on for the Olympics a lot of people have really strong opinions like what Joe said it's all being turning into means I think I think it's fair though because it's the same ████ we talk about shot put or ████ or the curling you know like it's just to you that's not a sport I get it like that's fine if that's just not if you just want to make fun of it that's okay but if someone internally like you don't got a shot you don't got a curler that almost looks like a ████ prank they all look like killing it right I think internally if we have a representative that made it there and makes it look dumb by herself that's on us is smack going to do a side by side video of dud even she doesn't want to cuz she feels bad because it's like I don't want they're both Australian I don't want rean to be like bullied or anything because it's like but then you have to ████ understand that it just

11:51 sucks dude but don't you don't at some point don't you guys have to like as a community distance yourself from that type of performance but then I feel like like when you watch the gold medal matches it does it by itself I think like the higher ups in the community are doing what they can to try to soften the blow and redirect the attention to all the positives and then there are also people in the community that are which I think is dumb I think they're trying to break down what she's doing and show that it's actually not that bad I think that's stupid I'm like if we just all admit if we just admit that it sucks and we had the baddest litmus test of all time which is the world understanding that it's whack like let's call it back and move on can I tell you everybody has to go around the room and talk about her your favorite part of the dance that she did Homer Simpson Spin and she did this and she she was doing she was holding her chin the whole time and she ran around Homer Simpson SP I just kind of

12:41 like when she did a pike on the floor oh yeah that's a hip escaping honestly I think this was funny because of the memes the kangaroo the PO the kangaroo when she was when she was on the floor and touching toes like what you said and she's like folding herself that's on that's on that's made it to Jiu-Jitsu like you look at like the B boy battles right you look at the bbo battles and then you look at from Japan there's a dude named hero 10 who also didn't technically win any of his matches at all you know what I mean but like what he did was so like so so in a sense I'm not I would never compare them but like for the sake of like what if they if you don't understand the culture and you're just looking at like a point scale it's like he also didn't win any of his matches or anything like that but like for that to be a a quote unquote losing bracket person who just did the sickest ████ phenomenal ████ but then like only in the community is that

13:31 getting shared like not really many people it's not like that's going on Fallen yeah it's not none of us saw that when they did the bit on Fon tonight about rayun I was like my draw was my jaw was dropped I was like oh my goodness and look how easy it is to do she almost looks like identical but that but that's the thing though like that's the that's the limit scale he's talking about like you can joke about that because you can do that and the second that like for the culture on the Olympic scale some you as a spectator you're like I can do that that's where it's like that shouldn't have been there cuz like if you wanted to make fun of hero 10 you wouldn't be able to ████ comprehend how to start so so for a for a guy like hero 10 who's I remember you were saying like he's kind of the favorite to win the whole thing I remember we talked about like months ago I didn't say hero 10 I said sha kicks yeah sh kicks uh that's my fault but like is it is it a judging issue is it

14:22 is is that the criteria that they base the rules off of what do you think it is it's hard to say man the judging system is so complex it's not like when you watch a jam it's just guy going I like this there such if you actually like uh Kujo actually posted he's one of the head guys of uh World Dance Sport Federation and he posted the exact criteria that they go by and it's hard enough that in order to even be a judge you have to go through like two weekends worth of uh camp and testing to qualify as a person that understands this I'm not going to lie I didn't know a lot of those judges never heard of and that's the thing and cross who's like the guy that uh he's like one of the Patriarchs of like B boy events he broke down who each judge was and even he was like I don't know who this guy is really like there's a couple of them they don't know but and they have to be International I saw like crum's

15:13 video too cuz he like applied to be a judge it was just some French waiter that they found but then here's the here's the reason for that it actually is a good reason is and Kujo uh detailed that he goes hey you know what it turns out that some of your favorite B boys are not actually going to be the best judges and it turns out that some of the best judges didn't have the most spectacled career like there are some B boys that are so ████ good that they won't take your judge criteria and they'll just go no I'm just going to pick who's tight you know like that's you just which is something that okay cool like we there's something called legendary judge where you don't have to do any of the testing because they just know you're that legit and there's very few of those are you one of them and no ████ no and there's there's also people that they awarded that to that declined taking it at all like crazy legs no

16:04 Crazy Legs is one of those people uh he they they think he anybody from The Rock Steady Crew should have been there that's also very see again like if you haven't if you if you're kind of outside of the thing like some of the Rock City guys have been involved not in drugs but they've been involved in some scandals that they don't want connected which I can understand but then there's some rock city guys that just aren't interested in becoming part of the Olympics they just don't they don't think breaking should be some of them just that opinion crazy like still hasn't sent me his video I bought you bought a video from him he he actually had a really good take on on Ray Gun yeah he had he had a really good take he just put it more on the event itself he's like this happened because somebody let it slip through the cracks you know but then again like I think now people are trying to like what I don't like is that a lot of B boys are

16:54 trying to almost catch the train by trying to defend her which I think it's it's just like the more you do that the more it's like you're the worse you're making it how did she actually get in then like what was it's to so the rumor and this like is something that we heard about like the day she was there like people were already saying that she was in charge of or had a hand in the qualifying events and that they someone had purposely made them occur so soon after promotion that people didn't have a chance to even you know compete they didn't have enough girls for the top 16 uh that you have to have a valid passport and all this ████ so it just kind of like ruled out a lot of really good people sounds kind of legit there it's still like not I don't know if it's been determined how much of a lie that is or if it's a lie at all but umz I've been into I've been I've been to some

17:44 youth breaking events where I was like there's some new generation girls that are crushing it and I'm like they should have been on but but then it's also it's also so easy and quick to say that right but then it's like maybe you look at like the Olympic boats during the opening ceremony us had like 600 people going there some countries had like three you know what I mean so it also just depends on like where the culture and the community is she could have had a bad night and then also like like what's dope what's dope though is like what's also going like mini viral is the clip of the girl that she battled in Australia and it's like that girl is like that girl's dope you know what I mean again probably not Olympic stage dope but it's like she's getting mad attraction because of how whack rayon's performance is but ironically I don't I didn't see that battle like the whole thing but who knows maybe Reay gun won that night because of a song that went on and the personality or like who

18:36 ████ knows you also can't find the match anywhere like you can't find the full match like I was trying to find it on the they took they took down almost all of breaking on the peacock because of I think I think it's hard to find like the videos now people are complaining about it why yeah I couldn't find maybe they'll put it back up but then like I think I think my perspective on this is is specific because I'm from breaking where I had to adjust and become I guess like palatable to a a regular person cuz I was performing for just water down well it's the way that I would break it a jam is different from on stage like cuz it can't be the same so if you look at like uh there's some B boys that are ████ Geniuses but if they perform that on stage people would be like boring like what are you even doing right that's what I think at B boy competition don't get it you know what I'm what a lot of the B boys that are

19:27 chosen and be girls that are chosen for the Olympics the ones that are good are like anomalies that can appeal to both sides like the big wild crowd pleasing power moves Yeah well yeah but then people if you look at like let's say Logan she can switch gears to entertain anybody and smoke anybody so that's like most Olympian Breakers that's who I would imagine all of them would be mhm this person this like ray gun is neither it's like she's not smoking anybody and she is also not entertaining you and I think that's something where like you have to ████ come to terms with this is what happens when that hits the main stage hey there's irony though cuz it seems like she entertained the world at like the highest yeah but at the expense of her own mental health I don't think that's what you want and at the expense of the entire culture yeah that's what I

20:17 mean like she's probably going through it she said she's devastated over it at the same time she's getting support but I don't think that's what anybody at the same time she went from 4,000 followers to like 163,000 and it's all people making fun of her isn't she a mill isn't she a mill now no she you could tell like I don't watch a lot of breaking so I don't know you could tell she's not that good but and in her eyes though she was ████ bringing the heat well the sad part is it looked like she brought the best like she like she was thinking it as she was doing it like she was like yo I'm ████ she was dancing her heart out in her head I think she truly loves breaking more than the average B boy 100% and that's what makes it like ridiculous you know what I mean she was supposed to make she loves it so much she got into the Olympics she's living her dream she's thought out this routine she worked on it she ████ executed

21:10 and it was horrible well in a way I also I can I can also identify with her a little bit because of like the fact that she's a professor of this thing and she's written papers on the same on the same ogs that are now talking ████ about her is crazy yeah and I I relate to that in the way that like once I was on ABDC all the like not all of them but like some guys I really looked up to were ████ on me yeah and so I'm like okay yeah that feels like complete ████ yeah but then they were ████ on you out of jealousy this is completely different yeah well that's this is also jealousy yeah kind of yeah yeah it also might be a little bit of that too because you know they're like I could have done more with that slot so could A to Z like but again like that's my main thing is that if there's a long-term benefit then no one can really be mad at are there a lot of good B boys and B girls coming out of Australia yeah there used to be there

22:02 used to be some ████ Legends but I don't know anymore they should have just submitted a kangaroo probably do way more damage good joke honest yeah honestly I mean been pretty put a doag on a kangaroo I think it's also the the reason why it's also a sensitive a sensitive topic for a lot of B boys and be- girls is the fact that majority of B boys and be girls will get so ████ good and it doesn't really amount to a sustainable life they'll just be Legends to the people in that circle like we look at these people like they're ████ Heroes and then they just like go on to like a substandard life and that was a huge thing that Logan was talking about in in a postmatch interview too and she said it so well too um it's just the idea that like when you get breaking into this part of the the world stage if it's represented well

22:52 then people will understand that there is a career trajectory to this and and the the reason why it's dope is because it's not a sport that is like a high barrier level of Entry like like if you want to put your kid and make them be really good at basketball you got to put them in programming that's going to take a lot of time and a lot of money and like uniforms and distance and that whereas breaking a lot of people come from because they don't have money or anything like that so they they resort to that version of self-expression because it's a cheap form of Entry that is amazing for the soul so then the second a bunch of young girls around the world are like in fear that what they're doing might look like ray gun that completely shuts down the the potential of like where this can go for people that really really need it but do you think it'll make everybody better though I asking the right questions no that's good I I really think like it is sad to see like girls like damn am I doing that and sometimes

23:44 yeah you guys are looking here's the thing but here's the thing prob by fire for real though for real I want to look like R look look here's the thing that's good if you're conscious of that don't do it and you're going to actually level up and do better which is good I see the positive side in that which is like all right I'm glad you're aware of that let's switch it up and actually get good cuz would you say like Ray gun's a is a product of like maybe the sport being watered down you know cuz obviously the sport gets big enough I think it's just a I think it showcases a true thing about regions I think that's all it is I really don't think she's this nefarious individual that cheated her way in and just like wanted to take credit I think she legit really thought she had something to offer she really probably is the best representative out of Australia I mean like if you go to any city in in or any anywhere in the world you're not going to it's going to be tough to fill a top 16 with dope bee

24:35 girls it's just not a common idea it's just you can do that here it's going to be hard it's not always like a thing that people expect like just because there's an Olympics are breaking that every region has enough people that can kill it like they don't and I think like the hardest part about this is just that break-ins never had a ████ figure like this like the most people will do is call you Jabba walkies which isn't even correct but like you know like the the joke that people will say to you like oh yeah you all like the jab walking or something like now we have Reagan as a reference and now there's ammo for people to just like say something to you that you're so sick of you know what I mean don't be a it's already happening but like we're all getting called rean every that's yeah how come you didn't do the kangaroo ray gun ████ and I'm just like don't you ever talk to me like that you know what I mean like that's disrespectful or what or what or what but again like there could Fu suck ass there could be

25:25 long-term benefits if everybody works together and like figures out a way to like while the eyes are on you to like maximize what you can B boy Victor said it best like he's never gotten more inquiries about breaking than now so that's a good sign it's ████ tight but you know if this just might be a thing breaking has to live with you know just post more videos of you guys doing breaking cuz what the ████ you guys do are pretty crazy but in in the Australian uniform dude that's going to be a hot Halloween caution you already know you already know that's going to be everywhere yeah hey bro we might have to do it we should just all be I'm going to dress like the P vter whose dick hit the ████ thingu it's just taped that way I'm so down I'm so down tape a p my nice
