0:52 thing yeah awesome Blossom and then you had the dip in the middle so good and they had a lot of baby back ribs yeah they still have that oh they had it on the wall dude you didn't see that baby rib all over the wall how was it it's a little bit saltier than like didn't get it once you had real ribs I know I ████ up we had rib by was it good guys steaks good they were bomb Prett bomb I was surprised I don't like like steaks at diners yeah I'm surprised you guys all got steaks it was good we were just feeling manly that night yeah that's fine but yeah there was a lot of camaraderie I felt very that's with going home and being like you know what I really appreciate this group of people and of course that's why I had to shout you guys out thank you so much for paying for it as well taking us out spicy Mars were ████ spicy spicy

1:43 Rita dude spicy was really good too you just ruined our moment he we were having a little thing I had Coke gave you your moment that was our moment you took it away Cherry Coke I didn't get Cherry Coke I got a spicy Mar hey let's go spicy girl they were so good they were good they were shout out Chili's you guys are all talking about the drinks part all I got Cherry Coke and Joe goes I got Coke we're just going around the table what' you get Ryan said water how how fast he said I got put that in yeah so that um basically yeah is this good content that took me to thinking about a type of conversation and uh wanted to talk about friend circles today this is my least favorite

2:33 one wow I guess we'll talk about something else where's the bottom of the list his no we will we'll get to the bottom of why it's his least favorite that's a good idea all right so everybody's got different circles all right so it would be great if everybody could share what they believe their friend circles are and kind of categorize or name them and what those circles bring to your life that's pretty cool okay even though Joe doesn't like it I get it I get it yeah that's very cool it's my least favorite Circle this is your least favorite Circle JK is it really really pass a lie detector test no right you're all my lovers you know how they go oh I wish um you know if I could create my perfect lover it'll have her titties her legs her head her butt her personality this

3:27 lifestyle and you put it into one instead of doing that I just spread it all over you guys so this is my my titties group love that we're the titties group it's a good analogy okay can you can you explain the other groups that you have this is my group that actually gives me stability and this is the only stable routine thing I have in my life where every month two times we meet up to talk and I don't have to really do anything but just sit in have fun and that's the that's the goal and it's been very consistent throughout all my years but also it's like a place where everyone has each other's back and we get to just go focused on like something that we really like to do which is just

4:18 joke and have commentary on funny ████ yeah and there's something very therapeutic but also like rewarding cuz this is also a business so it's not just a place where we get to hang there's like purpose involved too and we have a fan base behind it so it just I don't know it just kind of does it fulfills me in my life and I think that I'm just I'm just like I'm I it's hard to get bored of it and I'm like wishing it will never end yeah dude knowing you by the way it's so funny cuz everyone knows you the camera Joe all this stuff and you troll a lot more than people know but a l watching watching you do business ████ is with like me and Colleen and and and um and Anthony my name Anthony yeah you're Anthony um what was your name again

5:08 dancer ████ no we were all we were watching you do do business ████ yesterday through the glass and it was just cracking us up because you're just not the type of person who looks like he would be doing serious business but what did it look like it looked like a guy who's like he's like places an order for like 50,000 ninja stars on the phone but he's like he's like on the phone he's like very seriously talking about ████ face and like you tell he's in int negotiation so we're just laughing like being like he's like he's like we have too many plastic n trucks we have to ████ movies we have to move we have to movies he's like a martial arts surplus store so it's just so funny but you are you are an actual business person but that just cracks he's trying to buy a Sizzlers yeah I think this is the place where I can be the polar opposite of what I am off camera yeah yeah that makes sense this is like a

5:59 place to be have a lot of fun yeah it's like the guy who's like an executive and he goes and gets ████ pegged by exactly this where I get candle wax dripped in my ████ ball stomped on that's more atony but yeah I I do more of the I put on the high heels and stomp on his let's bring the focus back y'all let's bring the focus back so how would you how would you other circles my other circles I think like I'm a firm believer of like you um like let's say if everyone wants to play basketball right and then and then let's say like this friend group doesn't want to then you got to find that that friend group that does or or whatever so like I have my a travel group or I had a travel group one of them moved to Cambodia and all that and that was travel yeah cuz

6:51 you know sometimes you really travel well with like a circle and then and you can't make the group too big you can't make it too small cuz if I'm not like a I don't like like traveling by myself all the time so I we had a travel group going on that was really fun cuz there's like a balance of like boug how bougie are you how much endurance do you have can you hike like five miles plus whatever and then the type of traveling you like to do it's different right some people like to Resort ████ some people like living in the hammock ████ right so um it was really cool to have that Travel Group and then now I'm starting to have like different business Partnerships where most and all of my things were like here and then mainly with Bart right but then since 2 years ago I started going out no three maybe

7:41 and exploring and finding different groups to do business with that's pretty fun yeah nice yeah but we're the we're the titties for you yeah you guys aren't the butt who's the who's the butt David um just David just David yeah I don't know I like to think that David and you are getting into multiple businesses where you work I do know you do all the work everywh and David just calls me with ideas David just calls me why you late to ████ work dude he just calls me and scolds me and then he hangs up and he doesn't talk to me for six months hard ████ man yeah and then we just beat up taxi drivers together that's how we do that's what I heard pretty cool man saw the video I was like definitely don't release this it just looks like you guys attack the ████ taxi

8:31 driver there's no context I've not seen that yet there's not enough context for this great video the audio is even better Bart made a screenshot and he put it into our group chat and he got a perfect moment where the guy flying back like this and then I'm just holding a Hannah's backpack so it looks like I'm about to T Chuck it at him but I'm pulling it out like that it was a pretty yeah it was about you Mr eay I for circles I think like I don't have too many but they're like I would I would say like my dance circle is pretty much Quest Crew Circle and that's just like multi-generational different dancers from like old ass dudes to like new kids and then uh and then I have like the party rock history

9:21 side like the music producers and people that I met through working with LMFO and stuff and that was very job related for a while and then and then I have my gamer side which is like a lot of people that I basically spend a lot of time talking to but hardly ever see cuz it's mostly in the middle of like literally like Discord um yeah and then that's I think that's pretty much it wow I thought you had so many circles yeah cuz like you know what about like a car like the car scene stuff oh yeah yeah yeah I I that I think that maybe that might come back into play before I used to have a really big like nice car Circle but then I stopped going to those events after I didn't have any more like cool cars so that kind of like everyone kind of dissipated but then now as cool as we thought what can't believe it I can't

10:13 believe you're not as cool as we thought yeah but it was um yeah but then that kind of like fizzled out and then make room for his dark web Circle yeah did guarantee for sure he has a dark circle there when I was younger I did but it wasn't dark web it was just regular web you started it and then it became the dark web it's a four CH it's a four CH it was a funny thing where like for the Silk Road that's what they called it exactly it was in like the late '90s I want to say like 97 or '98 there was a a large group of us that uh we used to meet in a specific AOL private chat all the time yeah and we always said we would meet up like in the future when we grew up and it was like years we would just meet up and talk some of those dudes are still waiting go into the chat room I don't know what happened

11:03 to any of them there was like 15 of them yeah oh they're keeping tabs we can't sign back on or aim you know that it's gone really no you can't yeah aim is gone it's gone yeah I don't even know what email they used to sign up for it too how remember probably like AZN Thug 101 or something no I didn't have one oh and then High School like high school friends there's like two sets there's my friends within high school and then the friends outside of high school that I had in that period that are now like I don't talk to anybody from high school everyone's just grown up and wildly successful so oh I have those friends too yeah past friends that you don't even hang with but they like hit you up on Instagram you have group chats with them and stuff yeah yeah I have that I'll never forget having like a friend where it's like we'll be friends forever and it's like I never talk to that ████ exactly yeah it's the when you're in high school you kind of know that in high school like towards the end

11:53 I'm like I'm not you get tattoos with Shin Shin tattoos well that's different yeah that that doesn't mean that much to me all right so talk about your circles oh my circles so obviously you guys that's easy mode um and then yeah I have a fantasy football group that I've been in for like 13 years now it's like the longest thing I've ever been in ever but it's so star studded dude it's stacked with ████ tubers bro stacked bro um now they're all good people like do you know Joe Beretta yeah from and he's really cool love him all those guys um you know and then I have a group my neighbor group that I hang with too in Vegas and Like watch football with they're all from the same street or just in the neighborhood in our like basically on the same street are they similar are they similar in h uh yeah

12:44 like my next door neighbor is like I don't know he's like 3 years older than me yeah he's and he loves football so it's like ████ easy mode yeah um he's got a little daughter so it's cute watching her like she just started walking and ████ um that's cool it's like having friends on the same block again like when you grew up you could just visit each other like you guys are the ones who took the HOA down yeah nice he's my next door neighbor too so it's like when it's football day I just literally go next door it's it's crazy it's really cool um wait so there's no more HOA anymore no no no we took down the we took out this guy this group who was annoying as ████ we had them all replaced you okay that's good it was me and him and Nikki and like a bunch of people in the community who just came and ████ started sniping at this guy and yeah it worked and he was the male Karen of the group

13:34 he was definitely the male Karen yeah he still walks around the neighborhood like speed walking and ████ little ████ uh yeah and then I have my crypto Bros too like the the boys was a group I'm in called we call it whale chat those boys are my Bros like we've been through it all together and um yeah I I've still haven't met any of them in real life it's one of those like like you were talking about Discord it's like but um but yeah we all know each other and we all have each other's backs and I I I would I bled with those boys so we we have like a good tip Bond so yeah that's definitely but how do you know if any of them is like a child molester or something well they all could be yeah yeah that's a good point Joe it'll show in their profile pick do do you try to meet up with any of them or are any of them even local well they're like some of them are in Dubai and ████ yeah oh maybe they know zubie for tax purposes I

14:25 know that's what that was so interesting sick to do a retreat one day well one of my buddies built he built a ████ Resort in like the Mediterranean holy ████ so we're going to go there one day but we we just keep on getting too wrecked can't afford a ticket can't buy tickets so yeah that would I'd say that covers it my circle is pretty small like my main circles were pretty small um I consider my family my my main main Circle for sure my mom and my brother um they've been through everything with me um and then I have of course like my film the production side Circle the dance circle you guys of course um my fitness community and yeah that's about it and then any like little hobbies and stuff that I do I meet people through that and then and then your exes that

15:17 all hang out yeah yeah those are really they hover for a second chance and they're all conspiring how to get you back yeah yeah it'll never happen that's not what they say it'll never happen what they say that's good at least they have each other that's don't give up City Boys yeah yeah how do you know they're not child molesters should we just go around and it's a legitimate question is usually the ones that present themselves in this perfect light um that are typically the the ones that have a little bit more you know it's a hot iy they come across a little too honorable yeah yep so true I never tou nobody in

16:09 particular U Mine I think so we have JK for sure I think this is definitely like what Joe said it's um my like I feel like I could be super raw thoughts and have a good time and I think generally my raw thoughts are humorous so like it's it's good that like in the way that we speak because we understand that's like the tone that no one that brings up something that could be tremendously sad but already humorous no one takes it as if like a you're ████ up you know it's like the first thing is in yeah how do I understand this person even more so it's like a very open place which is really really cool like no judgment and the way you present who you are and how you feel does not have to be packaged you know cuz people will try to understand and

16:59 even if it comes out ████ up even if I like straight up said I am a child molester someone will be like what you really mean Ryan can you just clip that later though that could be good for the shorts that be great for the shorts we're trying to get our numbers up great text tone like someone would go what you really mean you know like that so that's how dope this group is yeah what you really mean is that you're a child molester no so there's this group um used to be called he used to be called pedal Bart cuz he would make all these jokes and then people people would have his back to have him reward his joke better well that's because Bart used to be like maybe he was just accidentally jerking that kid off we're like like no Bart he wasn't he wasn't accidentally doing that Bart it' be ████ like that and you're just like Bart how do how the ████ does

17:50 your brain work so there's uh there's this group and then um yeah May once you have your family that's becomes like your main group cuz it's like every you know your whole world revolves around like the kid and the family and family time and all that and then I have my um uh Investment Group with Joe and I have like my bar over Gade like fitness group and I always one of my favorite things is seeing groups kind of like merge together which is like super cool so like even like trying to convince most of this group to like either go to Vegas or like seeing like David like uh who used to be in the Super JK group uh kind of left and do his own thing but then coming back in into the investment it's

18:40 like cool to see like how these things you know like get together and stuff and and that's like one of my favorite Parts cuz also the Investment Group that we got into we all got into it like pre kids and then now we all have kids so now that also turned into like oh ████ potential like Family Social Circle Group as it's like moving there so it goes strictly from just money to like oh is this this could this be like the future um what's the word like you know your kids are raised by a village or whatever could this be the future Village it's just cool seeing like everything and they're already using their kids for business transactions like you marry my kid and then like just dowes and stuff yeah yeah it's a future Triad yeah yep what about yours um I love this circle I love the development

19:30 of the circle you know what I mean but we're not your favorite just say it well you're the booty just say I like the booty cuz you're all ████ yeah just say it no uh I I really enjoy I've mentioned on this show before that especially because like obviously I have like my kindas or my dance circle like like Ryan right where um that's so one side of me I think in in those circles like I'm like I don't know people are kind I'm respected you know stuff like that uh but no when I get to When I Dance that's just one voice and one person that I hear and I get to be a completely honest but different version of myself um just like Joe was saying too you know so like you like a big basketball in here we all pass it around we take turns

20:20 dunk yeah seen that move that's pretty good I love this circle that's my that's my move it's refreshing to have the duality in your life CH bit no I remember when you first came you were like dude this is kind of cool because people know me for kjas and dance and all these other things but then they don't really get to know the Creator behind that and then so when you started to develop a fan base through JK it was a different fan base from your dance world because they kind of were able to get to know your thoughts 100% yeah um I and I love the JK fans too because like you know know there's a difference when people like like you for your art versus like you for your thoughts right or like who you are as a person in in a different way so that's really really cool um one group one Circle that I've I feel like I just

21:11 started getting into that I appreciate a lot is actually like Nina's Circle oh cool yeah both her friends and her family like when we first started dating she would hang around like my circles a lot because you know the kindas like what we were doing where we were in our career everything was moving so fast so she was constantly coming to like our events or our hangouts or birthdays or like Banquets or whatever it is that we might have been throwing um but she was in the thick of things like uh grad school so it's not like I would go to grad school events you know what I mean so so that was like a developing tribe for her and she was always like kind of around my circle and then nowadays now especially all of them have graduated and they're all like working together so they work outings or their workout outings or their whatever um they're having like annual friends givings and this and that so like I I have transitioned from like the plus one where now we're like all part of a

22:02 circle as well and that has like spent years in the making too so now just being a part of that circle is really freaking cool to like learn more deeply about like who she is outside of our own relationship and like you know what she is to another community and me being able to Value those things so I love being a part of her Circle and her family is very very strong unlike my family like my family like love my family but you know the way that we see each other is different whereas like their family and I have a huge extended Chinese family thing too right so there's like cousin drama sometimes we come together for Lunar New Year and like holiday sometimes whereas her family they don't have a ████ ton of cousins out here and it's really just their family like Filipina matriarch style like everybody's in the family they see each other hang out text each other every day type ████ so like oh they don't have relatives not really

22:52 around here it's just their their immediate family basically her half sisters and and parents you know like my my parents-in-law um mother and father that sound weird but yeah so like their whole family Dynamic is different but now for me to be like truly and legally even part of that family too and like really be like I belong in that circle is a different Dynamic than I ever had in my own personal family and that's just really cool to be a part of so yeah I appreciate the different circles my relationship with them and what they're doing to me over time and how I'm I'm becoming a different person and and receiving and understanding different people as well which one do you think you could be yourself the most or or yeah which in which Circle do you think you're yourself the most uh there's um nowadays there a I think a dope thing about this JK Circle

23:42 because we do just get to just talk and like the crazy thing is like how often do you go see like your other friends and you sit down for hours and you're like let's just talk for hours yeah about everything and our belief systems and like how we view a certain random perspective and so this is such a unique OCC yeah this is such a powerful and unique thing that we're doing here that allows us to dive deep so I think like I get to find myself a lot here you know let alone be myself and become myself even though of course I have like deep levels of comfort and people have seen me from when I was a different person to who I am now in like my Kinder Circle and stuff you know true but yeah that's why I love this one me too I like how word an echo chamber is we just all say the same things we all believe I mean Harden our SS yeah yeah I really like how there's no opposition here and

24:32 everyone just a circle jerk that's my favorite part the best circle is a circle jerk
