0:00 at the time where like we got kind of like burnt out with everything else that we were doing yeah but if the excitement's there and the people's there I'm always down to bring it back the Channel's there yeah you guys um you guys know the rapper n Choppa no oh yeah he's dope right he he got he has grills I CH never in my life n never in my life I don't know any of his songs though honest I don't either to be honest but he has a new uh video uh that just came out a week ago and uh everybody is in an uproar because the location that he shot it at sucks it's so ugly W check it out that's why they're mad yeah they're mad because the place sucks I don't believe you people complain about everything though what the check out check out his
0:50 check out his whack ass music video it does kind of like Ikea that sucks well we got to mute the song you you mute it stick in oh my my God it's our old office it's our old office what the fck lower the volume lower yeah yeah yeah there you go oh my God that is so dude that ████ right corner is the JK offer used the ████ film JK party right there what the ████ that's cool it's a good location very cheap dude that sucks I know exactly where that is Joe you ever done that on those sites no not there so wow that's cool what's that Coachella it might be who's this choreographer pretty bad
1:41 that's I do agree that location sucks that looks like it's one of the offices inside I know why would it is it is look at the doors hey look that's the editor room oh that's where you guys filmed JK party wait is it actually our old office yeah that exact room it looks like it the building oh oh the room that building or that room yeah it kind of looks like it that's you guys shot JK party the roof like that I don't think the roof is at high oh oh that's sick but the windows dude what the ████ wow that's cool oh my God that place had so many great memories but dude that's David so's Office right there is that David's office no you know they made us take down the whole thing the walls everything the fake tree oh my God yeah they didn't even want the bathroom I was
2:31 like we built a ████ great bathroom did you make like showers or something we ████ made a sick ass bathroom damn I guess that's they wanted all this demolish I guess the location gets cooler after that part yeah yeah yeah that was that was crazy man the other day we were talking about how much we spent on all those I think it was like 17 grand a month jeez that was that was just a rent we had three building like three spaces we had one for the Studio One for the office and then one just green room that we ████ use once a week yeah but the idea behind it was that green room was supposed to be an expend Extended space like we originally the vision we had was creating like a whole like mini M Boutique MCN for ourselves yeah yeah yeah I remember that you wanted like other creators under the
3:22 same umbrella and stuff yeah we wanted to like give our friends like the opportunity to build their own brand within and then we have a big like you know it's kind of like the concept I said earlier about like you want your friends to do well it did it didn't it help a lot of people cuz I knew David had an office in there and he would always do meetings and stuff yeah D David had a space there and then um eventually it turned into a storage room yeah I think like when we were building it it was really nice cuz we had like what four channels at the time maybe yeah yeah and then um the thing I mean we made a lot of expensive mistakes like the JK party set worked out really well but JK news didn't work out well like when we did it I didn't like it and then the fans hated
4:12 it yeah I remember that if you don't like it that's pretty bad do you remember I liked it well I I wasn't there I wasn't there for that but I remember the I remember seeing that set all the time and you guys always told me about the story yeah but you came in a little afterwards when we did party and everything else but I didn't like the way the desk was shaped it made it created so much distance like this is more cozy and this like setup just worked right but the other one it was too professional to the point where it felt like it's this one right yeah that one oh oh wow wow Good Morning America yeah yeah yeah it looked cool but there was um if it it felt more distant yeah you guys are definitely very distant it looks it looks more professional and I also think that this show I think like when we've seen some people watch our
5:03 show it can confuse people I think the way that this is set up and how it cuts to people around the room cuz like oh and they're in the same room looking at each other like it takes a second to figure it out whereas I think that just directly tells you what it is you know what sucks about those tables is because it's so horizontal you have to turn like this that was what I didn't like cuz it would have been better if we probably had like just couches and chairs and everyone's like in a living room setting and then you had cameras that just zoomed in it was a wide whatever um but you know the craziest thing is like what what Ryan did to the office here is like oh ████ dude this is what we needed mhm and you know the other person that did that stuff we paid him a hefty dollar and we didn't even end up using that ████ we redid everything with like Gio
5:53 she was like you know what this feels so weird cuz at the time we're like oh we need to pay these like Hollywood like set designers we could be legit all YouTubers fall for this yeah we wanted to like upgrade ourselves and then they did such a s█████ job I was in disbelief I'm like these guys they do movie sets and then they spend dude 50 Grand 100 Grand all these ████ what did it cost to build like the the new set that you didn't end up using we spent a couple hundred grand on everything ho moly but that's everything that's like the set all of the the equipment okay the the drywall the design of the office the soundproofing there's so much I think up to like 300 grandish we paid oh it was a lot we built a whole new house good for
6:43 you party set was fire though D I love that party set yeah yeah that that was great the coolest I was like yeah it was fun to play ████ in that set too it actually like brought a different energy to everything I think cuz the JK news one I think like essentially they executed they didn't the the way the reason why they did a bad job is because I think they didn't really do their homework like for you like you you understand us right but I actually think like some people just have like this basic way of doing temp template and then so this also like there's a lot of creative with you and smack I think you guys even the way the tiger belly office looks or like their set now is just so much better than like a standard template of like a news Studio or
7:33 whatever which is funny cuz all you really have to do is just talk to the ████ person you're working for which they did yeah you just got to like find out what what things are uh and and the fans you just have to like read the fans which is so cool cuz this is all just Easter eggs everywhere it's nothing but Easter eggs the whole place yeah but what um remember I remember when I was there for JK party when we're like from the perspective of sitting on the set there were a ton of people on the soundboard that were a ton of people that was this guy how many employees did you guys have not on camera at the time probably like six I think six or seven the total roster was about 30 people is on payroll jeez yeah but that's when we had three channels d three channels and then so the the way that we did it is like we wanted to make sure that the guys behind the scenes like can doing
8:24 mostly sound at the time and editing and um we wanted to make sure that they can um like sustain a living with us and also like it's just easier to to give them enough work versus um if you have to freelance then you might your schedule might be all crazy so we wanted to give people like some stability there so a lot of the uh different Channel ideas was about that it was like all right well we got a camera guy here and it's like well you know one show a week isn't enough so like how we going to produce all these other shows and then and then we they can also edit for them too so a lot of the guys that were doing camera op stuff or or the day like like gig gig day thing like they were also editing too damn that's tight yeah but
9:15 he did the whole sound system for us like we bought a soundboard yeah I remember figured it out tight yeah and then um I just remember seeing so many people and thinking like this is a real yeah my job was to my job every morning was to just go and mic everybody up set up the boom mics turn everything on and just like watch the show happened and you know I think that the experience of coming on to set was like it was like mind-blowing because nobody was doing it at that scale in our community and I remembered coming in there and like Julia was so good at like making sure like you had everything you needed and then we'd go to the back and I'd see people steaming your guys' shirts and like what is this ████ it was like such a level up from what we were all used to I mean w f did did it
10:08 too they were doing it weekly they were doing it weekly they're nice they're so nice I like they actually I just like doing that to them yeah no they they actually did something that inspired the ████ out of us because they got the YouTube space and then they did that game show remember that game show they did no I never watched it yeah cuz I clicked on something else JK party for us was like trying to do a Japanese game show oh that show that channel was just a a behind the scenes channel for a skch sketch originally that's what it was yeah okay if you could do it all over again is that what you do just a Japanese game show I wanted to go crazier with people sitting on park benches and then the the bch back and they go down a ████ slide into chocolate sauce they have no idea what's going on into chocolate sace dude
10:59 there so many more things we wanted to do but we got so spread thin that we didn't get to execute all of them and one of them was like till this day I really want to ████ do it right I think Bart's ideas were more like weird Mr Beast ideas and mine was more like Japanese game show IDE ideas Bart had this really good idea and it was um you remember that one Japanese game show it's called something um school and then and like they s the classroom different games for different speak English yeah so his was like we should rent a jail and then he's like all right guys already do this now but he goes all right and he we'll have different games like in the jail and he's like for one of them it's like a game of tag and like a a buff dude will come into the shower
11:52 and then he'll have a dildo it goes everyone's naked and you got to run around and not get tagged by the dild oh my God is there a referee yeah what's the point of contact for the dildo to tag you it has to go inside of your body no want to wants to dild set it can go in any part of your body but it has to go inside your body and viral yeah that would wi that would that would went viral and also I think the police would have come yeah we've been raping a jail they all side waivers this so would have been different jail games yeah of like know was like oh my God that's some crazy ass IDE that's crazy because so many years later didn't like K end up doing that exact thing imagine K trying to blur everything like oh my God yeah this is insane blurs the whole video
12:42 yeah I think there's a there's a bunch of streamers or guys that do that yeah K I think Ka did that oh like prison games prison games yeah and that did go like that's a genre viral yeah yeah dude maybe you guys should have done it that was too late to the game to go back what was your weird Mr Beast idea well like kind of things like like that but um they're they're just yeah they're not like game show idea they're just weird oh like like high quantity things where it's like yeah and then um or last person to stop touching yourself cuz JK party has always been like okay like profit-wise and then it got to a point where it wasn't anymore and then really um I think like I wanted to do really fun ████ like come up with a gag store a gag store yeah like there were these
13:35 guys at the time called bat 19 and I thought it was so genius they would create like sketches and things for all of their products and then they had like big gummy worms they had like all these different like toys and it went straight to their uh brain integration like heavy exactly and I'm like well I wanted to do things like that but we never got around to it there's a lot of things that I still haven't been able to do but um I think we all got burnt out cuz it was like it's hard to run the business and then like be the be the guy yeah yeah and we never sure that's super hard especially when you're scaling too cuz you guys scaled a ton and now you got to manage even more stuff while still being on camera and doing ████ that's that's the hard part and I I think at the time
14:25 too we didn't really like know how to seek out mentorship or like anything and a lot of our priorities at the time was fun first business later and and your guys's crew and cast were homies all of them yeah so it was different you have to kind of bite the bullet that you take when like you hire all friends like it's harder to run it is it is cuz a lot of the stuff we did is like probably should have fired a bunch of people much earlier well you you you just always need that that producer that doesn't give a ████ about you and just needs to get the job done you know like that guy that doesn't even like you yeah yeah you kind of need that yeah yeah exactly I think we created more of a lifestyle business than an actual business it was like it was more like a it was a Utopia honestly it was definitely business but yeah yeah yeah exactly feating a addict that's all
15:16 it was the here's the question that that everybody wants to to know is like what would it take to bring JK party back oo what would it take what would it take yeah join the ████ how much funding join the ████ patreon that'll help I think funding and staff okay cuz one we don't have the same staff that we had or the cast so we have this cast but then I mean I think we can make something really fun I think we need um we could we could go back and explore but I think it's like yeah the funding will come with the viewership now that I understand how to monetize better um I can probably build merch around it better I just think we need bodies again we need people to actually work behind the scenes and you need people that actually want to do it too cuz then you can't just get like random people you know what I mean that's true a heart I
16:07 think toward the end of it everyone got burnt out they didn't want to do yeah cuz that's the main thing cuz it's always like every company or every job you get there's like what is it retention rate where they come in and they're like ah ████ this job and then they leave you know well cuz me and Bart we we we basically like said hey if you guys want to run JK party meaning the team we're like if you want to keep it going go go ahead but we're out and I think for the last year of JK party me and Bart were just like hey we'll show up to shoot but like you know if you want to manage the channel and run it we we basically let like Aunt do it we let like booy and Julia do it and they just kept it going yeah yeah so I think it's it's it's it was more of a interesting at the time where like we got kind of like burnt out with everything else that we were doing yeah but if the excitement's there and the people's
16:57 there I'm always down to bring it back the Channel's there yeah I don't want to spicy dude dude the channel needs to come back just for this just to torture him let's do it torture and we build an entire set right we we all are inside the set and we have like an attachment to the door and then the the show is Anthony can't quit if Anthony does quit and he goes outside he falls down a ████ ramp and falls into chocolate sauce it goes down in chocolate sauce becomes a big chocolate Sun
