0:00 I'm pulling a card. >> Mundane stuff. >> I'm just pulling a card. They're like, Joe. And they're like, "Oh, you're different from camera. What do you want me to say? I'm a sucker." Like, >> have you guys ever heard a rumor about yourself? >> Yeah. David told me that a lot of other YouTubers think I'm just bat crazy >> cuz we were talking about how like >> I think it was talking about rumors, not truth. >> Yeah. >> Oh. Yeah, the rumors >> or at least something you could disprove cuz like I think David was talking about how like like he found out like people think that he's mean and >> what do you mean he found out? >> Like he No. Well, like cuz I think he was talking about like Asian entertainment and then like when they talk about you know whatever I'm like
0:51 I'm like what? I'm like what do people say about me? He goes dude they just think you're bash crazy and I'm like why? Like that's I don't even know them like that. >> Wait, you were really like taken aback by that? Like you really were like couldn't find out why you >> Well, they're entertainers. They should know that this is entertainment. Like >> like I mean yeah, I might be wild but like there's a different side where the camera's off and I'm talking to them face to face and maybe even then it's like they're like, "Oh my god, he'sing nuts off camera, too." Like I don't know. >> I don't understand uh when other people say that. So, like there's clips of like Theo Von on other podcasts like, "Dude, those JK guys areing crazy." >> And I'm like, "What? You're crazy?" I'm like, "What the hell do you mean?" I don't know what he >> Well, I think I I I kind of get it in terms of like I'm sure he was really
1:41 surprised that you guys say speak so freely about >> that's that's what that's what he was saying. Yeah, that makes sense cuz a lot of people were too scared. >> We were going to be woke Hollywood people. And then when he came into the room, he was like, "Oh, I miss I misjudged all of you guys. Like, I thought you were going to be like boring YouTubers that are just like >> not real people, >> but he felt comfortable like, "Oh, these are like my friends off camera." And he goes, "That's refreshing in LA, >> you know." Yeah. Yeah. In a world where everyone >> We don't act like industry guys. >> I don't want to get cancelceled if I say that wrong. >> I thought that too when I first met you guys >> that were crazy. >> That you guys were crazy. No, that you guys were free speakers and it was refreshing when I Yeah. When I first saw actual JK news when you guys were uploading like the first month, I was like, "These guys are ████ nuts." >> Yeah. >> Really? What were we saying? >> Because no one else was doing that.
2:32 Everybody else was like careful about what they said and no one was even cussing. Remember that? >> Yeah. >> People didn't even cuss >> cuz people wanted to be brand friendly. Remember, we never cared about being brand friendly and we lost out on so much money. >> People were not cutting. >> So much money, dude. And like and you just compare that with like cuz you know like with everything else we knew at the time people were just squeaky freaking clean. >> Yeah. Except they're like doing coke backstage. >> Exactly. >> And that's the funny part is some of the most like Disney ass people their real lives. They're ████ alcoholics. They're like snorting coke. They're like doing the craziest ████ We did that so young. We're over it. So like when >> when we go to parties and college things they're like, "Oh, you guys want to rip this bong?" And I'm like, "Not with you." >> Yeah, but yeah, I do it, but not with >> I do it with my friends back at home,
3:22 but I want to go to sleep. >> Well, I think also a lot of people didn't realize that a a lot of the firstgen famous YouTubers were introverted as ████ growing up. >> And then now it's their intro to like having like friends in a big place with like every now they're famous. Like >> you're going to have a lot of first experiences in that period. >> Yeah. They're going wild. And I was like, man, I already did this ████ when I was 14. I'm bored. like like let's have a good ████ meal and let's talk, you know, like that's all I wanted to do. >> During our Australia tour, they're like so worried about us. Like, oh, you got to be careful. Like, you can't say this, can't say that. Oh, yeah, for sure. Well, we could clean up our act or whatever. And then the ████ squeaky clean like Mickey Mouse ████ the R&B singers, >> they got like 16-year-olds twerking on stage and ████ And we're like, "Dude, you need to warn those ████
4:13 You ████ think we're going to say crazy ████ We're actually really obedient and professional. >> Just if if you give us the rules, we'll play to the max of the box, but we'll never cross the line. >> Yeah, >> these ████ are like, "Oh, we don't got to worry about them. They're just they just sing with the guitar." And then they had ████ all these 12year-olds twerking and ████ >> Got younger. >> 16 to keep dropping dropping dropping. >> What the ████ This is crazy. >> That is the running joke though. remember uh that old school skit Dave Chappelle had with Wayne Brady and like Wayne Brady was actually like gangster as hell. >> Yeah. I mean that's >> like that's like the running bit. Yeah. >> Yeah. The I mean we do have an image of like oh let's let's go wild. Let's play whatever, right? And then like I think it's because on camera we let it out like we let the fun out, right? And then
5:04 off camera we're like I'm tired. I just I just ████ ate a jalapeno and ████ stuck my dick into like a I don't know like a freezer >> regular >> and then now off camera I'm tired. >> I think it's the opposite for a lot of the restrained creators who are like probably squeaky clean and but their real self is like I want to ████ party and ████ >> you know? And then when you see them like they're wilding out. >> You go into these like Asian creator shows. It's like they're on stage, you know, talking about like God or whatever. I don't know what they're doing that's like squeaky clean after the show. ████ wasted, dude. Hey, have another ████ drink. Are you a ████ And I'm like, I didn't even have one drink. >> He's allergic to alcohol. >> Yeah,
5:55 >> but it's the funniest ████ People thinking you're crazy is one of my favorite things, though. I know. People always say it too when he meets like JK people in real life. They'll just be like, "You're not what I expected." >> Cuz he's just super nice, polite, says hello to the whole family. >> And I'm usually just working. >> I'm just out here like delivering like straws and I'm pulling a cart. >> Mundane stuff. >> I'm just pulling a cart. They're like, "Joe." And they're like, "Oh, you're different from camera. What do you want me to say? I'mma suck your dick." Like I'm ████ pulling a cart. Like the ████ dude. Yeah, the copy and paste in real life. It has to be that wasn't that circumstances are different. >> I'm like pulling a card of like just straws and cups trying to get over there, you know? Like they're running out. >> Dude, you're so funny. >> And they're like, "Oh, you're different for it, man."
6:46 >> That's so funny. That's >> Hey, a JK rumor that's based off a truth that made its way outside of JK that is pretty funny is now any fan that runs into me at 9 or 10, they always go like, "Isn't this Pastor Ben?" Oh yeah. >> No matter where I go. >> That's a good one. Yeah. >> Is this past your bedtime? >> Well, that is true. >> That's true. >> Honestly, it is. >> That's the true. Yeah. People always say that when they uh they send me a message that they ran into you and they're like, I was surprised he was up. >> Like I guess they ran into you at some MMA thing and it was at night. >> Bart was awake. >> Yeah. It was like recently. >> You were probably in a grappling competition. It was like some MMA event and you were there at night and then someone immediately sent me a message like, "What's this guy doing out?" >> That's I like that. I like cuz the diamonds are really into our world, you know, like our ecosystem. So, they know
7:36 all the little like quirks and stuff. >> One of the weirdest rumors that that I heard was um >> there was a time where like there's this B boy from Sacramento. His name is Morris and he's like really like a OG basically. Uh and um >> he thinks I'm racist. >> No. What? He thinks I'm racist. >> He thinks you're racist. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. But that's cuz you ████ said monkey at the wrong time. >> That's You're a little bit, aren't you? >> Yeah. >> I'm not stupid. >> It's not. >> But he's a he's a homie and everything. And then back when we were doing Quest Crew shows and stuff, we would always try to uh like find a time that we could work with him and like integrate him in. And then uh we did like Teen Choice Awards >> and uh for like Sean Kingston, we brought Morris to just to like do the show with us. >> And then um someone from his camp who
8:27 like didn't like that he was working with us uh was he tried he told him like, "Hey Morris, you know that quest crew that those guys are like they're all male prostitutes, right?" >> What? >> What the ████ >> Yeah. >> What the hell? Mor is like, "What?" >> I don't know if he believed it at the time. I feel like he did believe it cuz like >> cuz they do seem gay. >> I think that circle of like of B boys was like they they were like kind of like dumb in a way. So they were just like, "Oh, those Yeah. Quest crew just they're just they just get >> you guys were hated on so much." >> And I think like but male prostitutes is really crazy. >> That's hilarious, man. >> Like what? >> Well, you know what I think it is? I think people they have to find a way to justify your success. >> So they go, there's no way they just worked hard and got on TV like that, you
9:19 know? But they're like, but if they ████ around. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> But I think that's like that's I equate that to people going like, oh that guy's Buffy takes steroids. >> Mhm. >> They're like they have to use something to justify it. >> But it's funny because he like when they told us about that, we were like what? You guys believe something so crazy like that? Like it was like some weird like I don't know. Maybe cuz it's like we're down here in Hollywood, so it's like, "Oh, that's why." >> How else are you going to get the Teen Choice? >> I know. It was really funny. But that was probably the most outlandish rumor I heard. >> I would believe that though, >> cuz you know, when something's so out of the box that you can't even imagine why someone would make that up. >> So, it's so extremist. So, it has to be believable. It has to be true because why would your mind make that up? >> Yeah. It's like too crazy to not be true. >> Yeah. >> I'd be like, "All right." I'd just be like, >> weird thing to lie about.
10:09 >> They do look pretty gay. >> That too. >> No wonder their hair is always nice. If they said we were gay prostitutes, I would be like, "Yeah, >> I thought male prostitute just meant gay." I didn't know it meant for women. >> Just meant gay. >> Get paid more. >> I know. >> I heard a rumor that um my ex and I were swingers and >> Were you? >> Yeah. No. I was like, "Yeah, no." weird. It's not a rumor then, huh? >> And it wasn't a the rumor. I don't even know how it started, but it got around >> and I was like, "No, no, I'm just checked out of the relationship and our relationship's failing. That's what he's seeing other people and I don't care." >> Oh. >> Oh, there's that. >> Wow. >> That's >> That's very sad. >> That's a weird ass rumor to to have,
11:00 though, cuz >> That's fine. >> Yeah. >> But you're so You're so not swingy. You're so that sweet. >> I know. It's like they went to swingers before just cheater. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. They're cheaters. >> It's not like you're flirty with people and ████ >> That's weird, right? Instead of being like, "Oh, she's getting cheated on." It's, "Oh, they're swingingers. She's totally cool with it. >> They have an open." >> I think he was like down with it cuz it made him look like >> Oh, then a scumbag. Yeah. >> Oh, right. And it made it look like you were down with it, too. >> Yeah. That sucks. Get away with it, mold. >> Damn. >> Dumb. >> That's a whack one. It >> is a super whack one. So then I had just people in the dance community thinking I'm I have a swinger pass. >> I never heard I didn't hear that ████ That >> Yeah. >> Well, good. >> I don't know any other rumors about me
11:53 that like maybe cuz I don't even care. >> Yeah, that's true. >> So like I never I don't even care what people think. You sound like such a you sound like such a hate me cuz you ain't me kind of >> like you know when people they like did you did you see what they wrote about me in Reddit or whatever. I'm like dude I've never even searched or I don't give a ████ >> Why care about >> Well, I don't think Yeah, Reddit's not real. >> I don't even care. I don't even search for those things cuz like if I don't know you I literally do not care about your opinions. >> I agree with that. I think real rumors are the ones that are within your community when not like ████ not like crazy people on a computer like just >> Yeah. people see like a very small >> peers. Yeah. Your peers and stuff. Yeah. >> There was a uh not a rumor but I had to ████ stop our friend like cuz he'll come up with some funny assumptions
12:46 about like Bart or my wealth or whatever, right? And then like he'll be like, "Man," he goes, "If I was as rich as Bart," I'm all like, "Bro, you make like 3 400k a year. I don't think any of us makes that." >> Like, and he goes, "No, no, no, no, no. Trust me, you guys make way more." Now, I'm telling you ████ right now, I know how much company. Yeah. >> Like, I've seen your bank. >> Yeah. I saw your WT. >> I'm like, >> "We don't spend like you, bro." And then he goes, "No, no, no, no. You guys, you know, you guys know what you're talking about. Like, I got to pay ████ taxes. And he was like trying to like tell me like he has it so hard because he has to pay taxes and we don't. >> And then I'm all like, "What do you say we don't pay tax? We ████ pay taxes." >> And then like he just he just thought that well, for one, he thought um Bart
13:38 had unlimited cash and he kept buying houses because he's like >> unlimited cash is great. And then he he's just like and then it's like he thinks the way that business operates is like once it's open like >> the money just pours in. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> There's no ups and downs. >> Can't spend as fast as you earn. >> Turn on the faucet. Coins are going to come out. >> And then he's like, I ████ hate business owners cuz you guys cheat the system and like you guys like have all these loopholes and you cheat taxes. And I'm like, and I'm a hardworking man and I get a salary and I don't I have to pay taxes. And I'm like, that's your fault. But at the same time, I don't ████ have the loopholes cuz I don't have the same income as you do. I'm like, dude, you get a guaranteed like salary. >> And I'm like, well, you don't keep 300k or whatever you get. That's like you might get taxed 50% or whatever it is,
14:29 but that's your fault living in a state like this. >> I'm like, you go you go open a business to >> Yeah. >> It's so easy. Yeah, >> but I was like, >> yeah, I was just like, nah, it's not even what you think it is. But he was so sure. >> I think some people though, they do bring >> some people bring that up though. Like, >> like if I was to go, man, dude, you're so ████ rich, dog. Like, some people say that so that you you can ask them what they make and they can say it's more. >> Like, they want to bring the topic up so they can talk about how much they make, but then they use it as a guise of like, "You're so rich, Joe. Oh my god, I wish I was like you. I wanted like you." But they just are they're trying to find an in to talk about >> they want to hear like wait wait wait why but how much you make >> exactly you know that's just like a little thing. >> Yeah. But I I I had to stop that ████ real quick cuz I was like it is dude it's not like we have it great and you have it like so hard.
15:19 >> Yeah. That's why like I feel like in his head he's like I know you don't. >> And then later he's like I made the right choice. ████ you guys. >> Yeah. It's like a weird like to just confirm their own like insecurities. >> Yeah, that's whack. >> That is whack. >> ████ >> nine to fives were sick, dude. >> We're always jealous of the opposite side anyway. >> There's pros and cons to everything. Yeah, >> you can do both. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, >> but it's not. >> You can. You sign up for everything. >> You can do both. >> He's going to run a business and Ji and be an army. >> Mhm.
