0:00 thank you Jason wants to share something with the class oh I wanted to share that what did I want to share huh I wanted to ask um Anthony uh what was his earlier I wanted to ask um what was the point that you wanted to you you were committed into JK from um oh that was a serious question yeah we're gonna say that for later okay you thought that's what you wanted me no I didn't think that was what you're gonna say what that's what okay then we're gonna switch we're gonna switch now now we're gonna answer that question now [Music] welcome to another amazing episode of the careful boys where we today have the amazing Jason Cheney in the building wow
0:52 Jason Jenny he's pretty great um maybe a slightly better grammar rephrase that question you know what I say it the way I want it yeah okay hey ████ that guy you say how you want to say yeah wait wait wait go ahead and say it the way you want to say it yeah man man ████ you man no no no it's huge over there no yeah sucked in stop cameras these ████ am I right no I'm talking about you ████ one of them and they're ████ moms all right nobody over there now go and ask that really harmful wholesome question again no I was really curious because um earlier I was asked that's really rude for them to keep on bothering us like that while you're talking go ahead thank you
1:42 you bulldozed me well what is the because earlier I was curious because you said you created your schedule and uh with uh JK around it you know and I was just wondering what was the point is there a point or is there a time period and what are the things that you um that affected you for you to decide to wanted to commit to just kidding news that's right that's right yeah that was a very good question we were talking about this during lunch what do you mean that's right I just asked you this so don't act like you didn't hear this 30 seconds ago that's all all right just answer it like a normal person all these ████ ████ who ████ aren't paying attention he just asked this what do you mean that's right a minute ago I think schizophrenic dude all right that's right that's right honestly he's zany
2:33 watch out lady guy okay so uh was there a point in a time let me rephrase this in a way that these ████ understand no they understand uh uh a point in time where I uh I decided to dedicate more of my time to JK and stuff that we were asking yeah more of a time yeah okay yeah um I think uh number one uh I've always loved my time here at Jacob sitting here many times before I feel like especially with whatever few experience I have on like social media most people know me for dancing but the thing is the way I like as a choreographer and a Creator I'm always dancing to these like ethereal songs or like deeper songs and that's a real true expression myself a little schizophrenic like Nick said I definitely have a side that I don't know how to express in words maybe more
3:24 sensitive more whatever and I end up like expressing that through my dance so if people didn't know who I was as a person at all they only judged me off my dance I probably seem like a really quiet deep thinker uh like sad and emo kind of yeah sad emo yeah kind of a ████ you know but that's true that really is true that's a part of my soul that needs expressing in that way but then there's also this other side where I get to kind of just you know be a little bit more myself and talk freely and be an idiot where the ████ it is that I am here um and that's like also I've learned to realize just healthy and fun for me too just like a fun part of my life um but the thing is when I would have those experiences here on JK it would always be like few and far in between it would be like as guests right it so if I was like teaching or prioritizing whatever my dance career was if I had a pocket of time I would come down here to guess and I'll you know people like
4:14 borrow Joe would invite me here and just like you once in a while just come and I'd be like man this is really ████ fun but I didn't think that that was like me or my thing right much like I'm pretty sure all of us and I'm relating to it mainly like Nick and Ryan because I think we're all like newer regulars right see the nodding see the nodding we're like newer regulars on the spot but because like we do like quote unquote other things but having this kind of platform was just really fun and a different kind of way for us to like find ourselves you know what I'm saying so when it came to like the pandemic and then like all the ████ like the dance jobs that I had the Studios closing the traveling and teaching all that stuff went kind of down the drain suddenly had all this free times and I was desperate and I was poor so I was like oh man JK you
5:05 and that's where I am now JK I'll give him a chance finally yeah yeah that's our desperate and poor I guess I'll go with you guys wow that was a good night that took a turn that's very heartfelt thank you yeah how does that make you feel for hearing that it makes me feel very uh appreciated no but but but to be true though there was a time where suddenly um without traveling stuff like that uh I was home and before I always wanted to be a part of JK in a different way you know what I mean just like being like I love my time here I get to be a different but honest version of myself but it was just at a guest level what's up with the orgy
5:56 the thing is it is really hard to search but it is hard sometimes to say like the real thing because it's on the thing but I know what you mean the same like a another true self in another party oh I was scared I thought you were going deeper into an orgy thing and I was like oh man oh we will but yeah no um so so then once you know not having like a bunch of like other dance stuff and stuff and just like having more time at home I think I was always 60 out of the country you know before the pandemic and then suddenly I'm like stuck in the country in a different way but the cool thing is like these guys didn't care about kovid they're like ████ you can spit in my mouth right that's what I said and I caught it like five times [Laughter] we don't give a ████ you get spit in my mouth and I remember being like dude
6:46 these guys love me oh that's all they accept me and then they're just really into that I know I love you too organically I got to you know just because we were all here it became more regular and I was like hey I'm I'm here and I just like I think I've always been really forward with people like bar and Joe I've been really comfortable with my relationship with Bart and I was just like be honest with him you know I'd be like hey I'm here if you guys like want me to stay around I would love to and then he was just super cool about it he was like Yo dude like yeah for sure him and Joe they just walked me in as like you know they I became a regular so you will uh and then there was this time that they just needed more hosts and a lot of like that you know responsibility fell on Steve because he was kind of just like this interim host and they're just like hey uh you know like Steve you got to do this blah blah and he was like I don't know I'm just trying to fill in and I was sitting there and I was like uh I've kind of host stuff from time to
7:38 time I think I'll be pretty good and then they were just always open every single time I like uh kind of like asked for something they were always open and then because of that I just feel like my relationship here and my place here just like they just accepted it and they just let me be myself and that's why I was like you know I just want to dedicate myself to a place that like is open to me except me for who I am all the time allows me to express myself in a way that all my other platforms don't allow me to do that you know what I mean you know I was talking sorry to divert the attention to care bulldozing me right now oh I was talking to Ken and he was saying the same thing it's like it's really I feel like more rare nowadays to find like a group of people that uh that just has what you just said like accepting and trusting each other with their professionalism and their love and
8:29 their work and it's hard to find that and that's really cool I think I think it's a privilege to have that for sure you know when you collaborate or you work with a lot of different like different businesses or groups of people it's way more rare than you think to just have like a group of people that can co-exist professionally yeah but still transcend that personal boundary and be like oh I actually trust these people will consider my friends and am down to do things outside of business you know what I'm saying so this just happened to be a pocket and a family that made sense and it was easy for me I think you know what I mean to dive into a place like this but I think that's a great question to ask even people like you know Nick and Rick who are also I would love to hear all but even Kathleen Colleen Colleen Colleen I'm so sorry [Laughter]
9:21 yeah no I know but it's just I don't I'm so bad with the ████ well it's a unique name too it is a unique one and I really like this is Jason you guys I remember the dad the dad and the mom thing I remember stories more than like I'm really bad with remembering a lot like words I apologize no no no no apology does a little more actually look hey Nick Steve may not be here but this is still the uh believe all women's side right so you should believe me when I say hey I got this let's apologize immediately disagree with what's happening right now by the way I'm Anthony I know oh okay wait guys wait wait it like turn such a Sentimental moment into just JK Foolery hey he'll say anything to avoid it being asked the question
10:14 I'm curious about you just open up once dude I'll be ████ dude I'm always honest okay okay say something that's going you guys asked me to start doing JK are you angry already hold on hold when you guys ask me when you guys ask me to start doing JK I go this must be a sinking ship dude I'm gonna be rough but but Ryan May is bringing the ████ numbers back up he's bringing members though back up but it's true though but honestly see like the first time David asked me to do a podcast right on his podcast yeah I was I was like freaking out I was like Jesus Christ he must not know anybody I was like why is he asking me to go no I was like I was like David Last Resort because everything good you know what I
11:05 mean so he kept asking me to go on and then this dude eventually asked me like hey you want to come do JK and I was like all right dude if you if you need me to go on but um I was kind of I was like super nervous I didn't know what to expect um and I thought I was like they must be running out of ████ gas they can't get anybody did you already have your MMA podcasting yeah we were doing that at the beginning of the uh of that pandemic um and it was around the time you asked me to go on JK was it before a pandemic wait but did you when you asked him to call on JK did you ask him as a guest or did you just sit right in that chair he just asked me to come here I remember texting the right Nick when you asked him that's what it was I messed up and he was like oh my goodness he did he did he did ask me in person so I was like all right okay automatically promoted some of us had to go through
11:55 the guests and get in trial by fire he went straight to the BART table no but but it was stable some people that's the real table Yeah that's the believe all women table that's right I don't believe it but but when you ask why am I not on that side I clearly believe it why not what are you saying about yourself by default but I think you guys would slowly ask me to come back every now and then and then and then all of a sudden you guys just kept asking me to come back and I was like all right ████ okay and I was like kind of skeptical I was like all right we'll see because I didn't think I was I'm gonna be honest I don't think I was that good when I came on because it was weird because now I think differently on the ████ well I definitely feel more comfortable talking talking but I still I still feel like I'm ████ dude you're top six here top six I'm kind of I'm trying to get over can I'm still below can dude and he's not even on camera um but no uh when you guys started
12:45 asking me to come on I just uh was really unsure I was definitely unsure but I really like being here with you guys this is a lot of fun yeah bring it back why are you pointing me like that see but he's asking you he's asking what was the moment where you're like I'm committing well I didn't ask that you just oh the moment the moment I committed was uh was when you guys asked me to be a regular yeah when you guys asked me and I was like all right you sure Nick's like they must be running out of regulars but look I'm gonna be honest like that's when it was in my head I was like ████ like all right if you guys want me to keep coming back I'll come back you know because I I do hold you guys very high regard I do like I I've said this before about Joe and Bart and even David too just as far as like you guys you guys have helped me
13:35 out so much and you know anytime I could be of use to you I'll always try my best you know but at the same time being with everybody here getting to meet everybody has been really ████ cool and it's like dude the fact that I can call this work at some point is crazy you know like that that is pretty cool it's nuts dude the fact that I can come over here and you know shoot the ████ with you guys and say slanderous things about everything dude if I say this at work I do say the stuff at work anyway but my job is different but as far as being able to say this out loud onto a platform that has a good amount of people watching is correct I still never in my life would ever believe I would be doing this so it is pretty fun cool I hope you take it seriously someday hope you open up finally explain yourself
14:26 no but I'm very thankful to be here I'm I'm as much as I joke and I always do all that it's it's really cool to be a part of this happy to have you man hey ████ you dude I'm complimented I hope you start hanging out with us outside the office I want to hang out with you guys more it just you know sometimes it just eight hours is enough I also wonder about I don't you want to ask barters when did you choose to commit to this no where did you get out of no I was curious about Ryan and also Colleen I uh for me I think um I mean I've always watched JK like the same time that I started my dance stuff seriously was the same time that JK kind of started their stuff so it was like neck and neck you kind of not that we're
15:16 competing but we're working together for independent Asian representation in media so it was a very like easy thing to be an alliance unspoken to be like wow these guys are you know helping push this whole thing forward so I always had the respect for that and also once new started is when it really started just like watching it all the time and just having it on just like a lot of people might do just as you get ready or when you're doing other things you just kind of have it on and it was great and then the first time um I done like a sketch or two with them in the past but then once I came onto news and I did a full day I remember thinking dude for hours we just hung out and I built such a good rapport with him and I'm just never gonna ████ see them again that's a weird thing to do you know like what that's it and then I remember I wanted to come back but I didn't want to be weird and go hey you guys need a extra seat somewhere or anything but like bus to Anthony yeah so I would just wait for him to hit me up
16:06 which hit me up just one video just one ████ video you're even joking about something that I know you like I love I love that in you I love that one ████ that secret I love that it's about Ryan right now put it back to you please fine please Ryan you'll save me you win every thing just give me this one I think that's the thing that meant a lot to me is like I've always you know I've been friends with a few of them I never got really close to them until we started doing this and then I was like I just genuinely enjoy it that's the main thing underneath all of it underneath all the work underneath however long it takes ████ here I just like it and also at the same time I appreciate the you know like it's maybe JK's not as Asian
16:58 Centric it doesn't have to be but I love the idea that um it's an option out there because I feel like in the beginning whoever was just doing stuff on Independent Media that was Asian that's all you got now you can not like us and that's okay because there's so many ████ choices out there and I think that's really cool to still be around and just be authentically what we are rather than try to cater to what people want to see us do which is important to me because I think it took a lot of time for independent Asian creators to achieve that to be like hey guess what there's enough of us now that we don't have to ████ be the exact type of Asian that you want it's like hey this is just our genuine ████ lives we're gonna say ████ that might not be agreeable we're gonna like have views that might be expired to somebody but that's authentically who these people are and I think that's an important thing in a very rare platform to have real quick I want that that's my
17:49 answer too right right what if they subscribe to patreon we'll suck your dick and say anything yeah yeah as a white female that's also my answer yeah were you always in editing because I just want to also piggyback off of what Nick was saying like the clips are ████ amazing like the editing I did management for social media for other people in the past yeah yeah similar yeah you know I see the nonchalance already kind of coming off your lips but dude did you always edit at a superb level were you always the best at marketing I don't know that it's you've heard courses at University for this year it does help that I'm editing off an edit like it's Canon and his boys are doing the initial edit and then I'm just condensing it for short form so it's
18:40 really yeah I'm just I'm just stealing their Thunder no it's it's just you know it's just based off of what what I feel like we would want to see ourselves that's it you know um I mean I'm I'm only here because Ryan introduced me to to you guys and he was like you should really be on you're hilarious and I was like please don't tell them that no I didn't I said they wanted some like a white supremacy female so I said Colleen should represent that so white power after I just advocated for the Asian people right this all makes sense so what you're telling me yeah I did suggest you just because I'm like like my my friendship with her it's like she's a person that I've always known I can say whatever and she'll understand the tone of anything I say she'll know if I'm being serious if I mean sarcastic it's
19:31 all like she's just really good at knowing that so I'm like what better person for something like this than somebody who can tell when we're just ████ around and we don't really want everyone to die it's very true Ryan's going through his head he's like we're gonna say ████ up ████ Who's down ah Colleen a white power woman like a woman the first I've ever been laid bold as that white power woman you can have it if you want you could be dangerous you could be a power woman you know it's kind of catchy yeah just do that screw Lionheart nobody ever remembers that name anymore she's just easy to talk to and I didn't I didn't know that when she was on here she would do as well as like you know people really took to her like really quickly and it's yeah why am I still here Bart because you're awesome oh thanks see so we circled back to the sentimental part this is good somebody make a joke it's
20:21 awkward no you're really good tip your hat I'm I'm actually really appreciative of everyone here ████ you yeah thank you oh there it is thank you I was just busting a Nick yeah he's about to put us all in order you're like [Applause] it's about all of us later bro we don't want to hear it I don't want to hear it turn it off let's hear some compliments man no I'm really I'm really really appreciative everyone here because um I think we've what we were trying to do like me and Joe was trying to create like a safe space for just content in general yeah I started off with a lot of the Asian American stuff and it's cool to see all these creators now where like not everyone has to have the same voice and also as you know like during like that whole um Asian American movement phase like I
21:12 would say from like the 2010s like the 2015s as we start doing shows our shows like people that showed up became more and more diverse and then it was more about like people that thought the same rather than people that look the same you know and so in this group like we all we've always wanted to create like a safe space because like when you and your friends like your brother and sister or your like boys and your girls or whatever when you guys are ████ around and you say like crazy ████ no one is canceling each other in the group because you guys are just having a good time so for us like the chemistry the dynamic of like recreating that and then so that we can kind of bring and expand this camaraderie to the rest of the world was like so so important to us so we slowly moved away from the hall being like super Asian American Centric we still cover a little bit of those topics just because it can't help the way I
22:02 look you know and uh we so we we touch on those but we're really trying to expand and overall we're just trying to bring like-minded individuals in here and so for people to like have the same sense of humor and and and talk and Vibe and be able to kind of create like I think this room should actually be called The Writer's room because the only other place that I've ever felt this safe is in writer's room so when you go inside of like the actual Riders when you lock the door people could say the craziest ████ because we know this is the most insane brainstorm session that we're ever gonna have no idea is a bad idea you just say it and if it if it like rings a bell in the room that's what's going down on paper you know right and so in here we felt like that's what it was supposed to be and so over the years I think like you know we we've
22:52 always wanted to keep that as The Guiding Light as a North star and it's just like really really cool that um as where me and Joe are really trying to re-emphasize the whole direction of the channel that all of you guys came into our lives and were able to continue this journey so thank you guys so much thank you I'm just trying to I'm just trying to think of Colleen's perspective as Bart's trying to like be serious about like you know it wasn't about how we all look it's about how we all think I feel included thank you so much I feel included she's Chinese too yeah 32.1 it changes every time and somehow people keep believing me
