0:00 [Music] welcome back to hot seat the show with the hot seat and and and also the hots questions today we have bart quan oh no okay it's scary being here it's the first time i'm here and it's kind of scary scary right now dude taiko's been there dude you got to focus up here i don't know you have like a little bobby pins that's all folks and to start it off usually we have you starting it off with the coldest of the coldest questions ask yourself what we're going to have ryan do it this time if that's okay i'll do a bart style yeah yeah what would you think is the most good unnecessary south american language venezuelan what the ████ how come but it's all spanish

0:51 that's a cold question no venezuela is the whole language in the dumpster brazilians speak portuguese dialect of venezuelan is useless because if you you could always borrow a little bit from ecuador and borrow a little bit from colombia and you can kind of understand what everyone's saying and the whole the whole like sandal shape wow sandal shape he just made that up he just made it up like he makes up when he asks the question and you can hear it what paper towel company would you be would you be one ply or two ply mad libs himself how often do you shave once a year no honestly burn have a schedule don't make fun of me and schedules okay okay it's coming um i i honestly shave every uh sunday night and every wednesday night why is it because in between why

1:42 um well because my my jk news is always thursday through friday or thursday through saturday so i hate thinking about ████ because i just like to be free so if i just set times that i do it then i know i'll always be like camera ready do you have like an alarm or something that tells you shave time no i've done it for so long i think it's part of my circadian rhythm you know that it's a wednesday yeah like wednesday night i'm like shave time what's the last oh sorry what's the last time that you scheduled something that you knew you were being bart ridiculous about what does that mean something that didn't need to be scheduled even bart recognized like man that's kind of stupid he schedules when he busts the nut and sex dude you've been so even something that i find really yeah yeah i don't find any of it ridiculous sex scheduling there's not even more yeah exactly you scheduled sex with yeah we know that you how do you how do you

2:32 schedule it anyway also once a year well so she's busy too and then now we have a kid so you got a third person equation so it's like don't do tycoon you're sexy you can't just have sex ████ at seven p.m when tyco's eating dinner and ████ that's weird who says you can and i guess you can uh we did try it when when he was taking a nap but then have to be keep the couch from rocking too hard because then he's sleeping right there and then also felt weird because you're looking around or whatever in the moment and then you're like wow true um the weirdest scheduling thing man you really don't find any of it ridiculous okay i really don't know good to know i like it because it helps me i believe you i don't want you to have to make something up it helps me he always makes something up though the one time he doesn't make something up uh so so we're going to triple the heat a little bit

3:23 we just started no no just a little bit just a little bit we're not going to yeah this isn't the main one don't we just give you a knife you can stab me in the ass i know i didn't say it no um so so recently you want us to so so recently you had a contest um and i'm just gonna pull up a picture of this contest what's the contest so this contest hey what is this this guy's prepared train with bart uh-huh he was training was bart yep yep yep you get to work out with them you win the contest the month of april you get to train with bart yep okay and speaking of scheduling we picked three winners so here let me just read this real quick and then um and then i want to gauge the room they wanna ████ train with you all of us are friends and we don't want to train with you well that's a good argument but but i think that training the part i can see how people are pretending you guys either how do i ████ train with you to get my ass ████ kicked no no listen to this listen to this okay uh if you win right we'll meet at

4:13 9am that's not what it says you're ████ like i said with me at 9am that's how i know you did you got this ████ photoshopped what are you talking about this is ████ you you you posted to somebody you posted it dude oh you know i think i wrote that actually yeah what the ████ i know you did because because i want you to listen are you ready yeah this is why bart needs to run his ████ by his friends because bart wrote this i knew you did by the way okay check this out that's my schedule he says we'll meet at 9 00 a.m train from 10 a.m to 12 p.m see okay nothing unusual so you get to hang out for an hour well those people roll in different times a little bit 30 minutes late especially their vietnamese or whatever it makes sense i'm always early lunch from noon to one lunch from noon to one yeah we try and we eat okay now here's my favorite part personal q a from one to two yeah so

5:03 because a lot of these people from out of town they have a bunch of questions to ask they're like don't be asking me questions while we're lifting weights that's exactly right we meet at 9am don't ████ talk to me to the personal q a that is from one to two no ████ questions no ████ questions dude you trying to hang out with people for five hours and then they ask only in the fifth give some time to think about it's just more intention it's like when we're working out it's like conversational but then you know people are always like oh look i got my sister's as hot as anthony's sister save that for once that happens every time right squat or something he's all squatting he's all like oh one of my challenges is i want a ████ ball on anthony's sister but hey hey hey hey hey he's the hot seat that's true that's fair yeah no we just try to give it a little bit more it's loose but we just try to get a little more direction so that like it feels

5:54 structured okay yeah so do you hate me now no i don't hate you for it buddy it's just ████ hilarious for me it's hilarious to read as your friend i'm like of course what else is on schedule oh then you return to barbell by three so it's a very normal day but the fact that you can't ask him questions for five hours it's ████ so if you guys win and you're watching this don't ask until one okay i don't even ████ talk to him until what you got five hours to formulate your questions the winners are gonna be announced in a few weeks too no q a's what do you mean i thought i made this up what do you mean you said i made this whole ████ graphic up but i read it and that's oh yeah i wrote that i forgot i wrote how are you choosing the winners uh just do random it was just like a fun like for the month of april every purchase you get to enter in a chance to like train with me or whatever so it was it's just like we'll just go through the theme like like a slot machine nice okay okay all right so uh have you uh ever wanted to like ████ slap taika ████ it all the time what the ████

6:45 what was the latest time yeah that's every parent i feel like i actually did do it once i felt so ████ in a ████ face what'd you do it was uh this is when he was bro you you want to ████ make him fly look at that it wasn't hard this was like i forgot one or two or something and uh it was like i don't even remember what happened i was feeding him and then i don't it was like one of those like you don't when you tickle you you flinch yeah you flip you tickle dude you went pop ████ you know what he did either like he spit in my eye or something but it was automatic it was like that and as soon as that happened i'm like oh my ████ god i felt so ████ bad so whatever like extra precaution i have um i'm just like oh ████ i gotta like if i feel out of control of the situation like if it's parenting or whatever i always like go and take a breather and let you handle it i just felt so bad

7:35 yeah what would you say because you're you're a guy who gets to work out a lot of his ████ anxiety and your stress and ████ what would you say you stress about the most when i stress about the most you can't say joe yeah i ████ stress bro because we already know we already know i can relieve stress what do i stress about the most that's a good question um i think probably like what my life will be like within the next 10 years i think yeah yeah but after that you don't stress it's like 10 years no because i think like he's on schedule 11 years he's fine yeah because honestly the way that i i have like this uh what is it called um my my method for like troubleshooting or anxiety gauging i call it the abc xyz method whereas like let's say if i come

8:27 into a room right how do i meet people oh you shake their hands say hi off from a glass of water that's like abc and what's the worst case scenario oh i have to kill them or whatever i have those from the beginning like worst case scenario best case scenario covered then everything else is fine yeah and then so i think with my life and like having a family i think i have like so i have savings it'll cover me for like six months to a year i also have pretty good retirement now and then i have uh we have a house so i think all the blocks or buckets of my life are pretty covered yeah except for the next 10 years got it so that's that gray area so you don't know where 50 i'm ████ set you know but then it's just from here from like 40 to 50 i think i'm still relying on my current career on what i'm doing to fill in that space and that's like 12 years then

9:17 maybe 12 years yeah and is it because it's because your current career is still a lot of work that that's that's where you're like okay i would have to have it less by then yeah i feel like for everything that i have going on it's like if the engine isn't going then it goes it slows down versus some [Music] i feel like as soon as i like don't go like choo choo how much how much cold cash you got to have in the bank for you to like not worry about the next 12 years where you feel like yeah in one account or the total or what today's video is brought to you by upstart saying goodbye to high interest credit card debt is one of the first steps toward financial independence but

12:40 trying to you turn it up you're not facilitating man you're in the host of you okay i'm fine i ████ my mom in the dream is that what you want to hear how many times he told us that that was disgusting but go ahead he said he woke up and he vomited i did over that dream wow wow um when was the most pissed you've ever been at joe at joe i don't think i've ever been pissed that joe the ████ is wrong with him a little bit like a little bit when was the most pissed joe's ever been at you there was one time [Laughter] there was one time i remember where i was i don't know where you were but we were texting and it was i think it was about jk news merch or some ████ do you remember i don't know man i get mad it was about this it's the one and only time though yeah joe has never been mad at me and then it was a jk news merch thing and

13:30 then uh joe's never talked to me like this and then he goes man ████ it then do whatever the ████ you want and then i was like oh ████ what the ████ so i called them i'm like yo what's going on like like i thought we were just talking about stupid-ass designs and then he was like nah you know how you do that ████ ████ where you just like you keep persisting over and over i'm like oh yeah cause i do i know i have that he goes yeah dude just ████ going i just like he just felt like he kept pushing for the sake of pushing he goes so i don't even know i thought we're doing this but now that's so funny like if you just want to do that then just do that then i'm like oh ████ my bad i thought i was being collaborative but i don't think i was and then it was a good joke mad impression yeah yeah yeah yeah what the ████ it's so weird to imagine that you're gonna do that just do that then i've heard that before other

14:23 but i forget so but he's also never raised his voice at me though yeah that's true only that one time i was in text in text he raised his voice in text there's a lot of ████ every other word now and i was like oh ████ what the ████ going on and then gio was in that chat too because you know she was uh she was trying oh i remember now jill was like see friend knows it too you son of a ████ i like how she immediately had joe's back yeah yeah yeah she was so funny she was coordinating um me and joe are brainstorming the jk news like logos or whatever designs and she was supposed to execute it so she's just bringing it up so me and him to talk it out and then it ended up being like joe blowing up in there and just remember joe's in the chat too what would you say is the hardest thing

15:13 you've had to go through the hardest thing the hardest thing we had to go uh as like a jk as a company or just you as a man oh as a man man i've been through so much ████ let me see don't say your ████ deadlift dog [Laughter] my recent shoulder injury and i couldn't do face pulls with him he's like man i was ████ pulling and pulling and it was like oh yeah my shoulder went out and i was like ah i ████ missed the lift and i set a goal and i was like i can't hit that goal now it's gonna take me 18 more days so the okay this is the hardest thing i have to go through you know when you have trauma and you start burying it like crazy and you start uh like covering it up subconsciously with some sort of like with your own defense mechanisms yeah and it gets so far to the point where you forgot where the trauma is and you're just

16:03 living the new life so um i think back in 2015 or something or 2016 me and jill are going through like a pretty rough time so the only logical like therapy is to take a lot of ecstasy and just talk it out and then on one of them um we're just talking about all kinds of stuff because you just get supe super vulnerable uh vulnerable from it i was like flashback you know and ratatouille when he eats it he goes yeah and he goes back to me as a kid there there's this one time it flashed back to me i think being like 11 or something and i remember i was hiding in the couch because there was like these group of dudes i was hiding next to the couch at my house because there's this group of dudes that wanted to ████ me up and i was uh really scared when they came to your house that's your own house so i think

16:54 it was one of those things where like in fifth grade and sixth grade i think that's when boys start getting really rowdy oh yeah right and then you're like oh you think we'll ████ him up oh yeah you think i'll ████ him up and then i'm just ████ around with people i'm like oh yeah oh danielle ████ him up or whatever he'll ████ him up and then not knowing summertime these two dudes all of a sudden have ████ puberty and they're just huge and they're i'm like watching ████ like like ████ x-men at home like pre-pubescent right ████ just sitting there enjoying ████ uh spider-man or uh x-men or whatever and i just hear and then i can hear bart you the f-word of course i know you're in there whatever and i was like holy ████ and they would start throwing rocks at the window and they were banging out the door it was just me by myself and i was scared and i was like hiding in the couch and then i remember um after they left i felt like such a little ████ that i never ever

17:44 ever wanted to feel like that again like i felt like my life wasn't in my control so i think from then on is when i really got into like martial arts and lifting and doing all that stuff he went kung fu out of all things no i did come for before that oh okay and then i um i didn't realize uh and then i think you just start building a night a new identity so i didn't realize that there was at one point where i felt so vulnerable and so like ashamed of myself until we took ecstasy and then i was like boom that's like terry crews man he wanted to be strong because you know when people ask like oh like how did you get into lifting or you know doing that kind of stuff and it was just like oh yeah my homies older brothers taught me i mean that's how it happened but then there's also the homies that kicked it in the same garage but not everyone's lifting weights the other half were just sitting there smoking cigarettes or whatever right and then like so that the why it happened it

18:35 came to me where did you start like the next day or when did you start um i don't remember if i did um but i think i felt really like no one even knows because it was summertime it wasn't like you go back to school and people talk ████ right or whatever but so no one even knows but i just remember feeling like so ashamed like the whole song but you couldn't stand up and fight i actually just went out and got my ass beat and at least took it to hide like the little ████ behind the couch yeah well hiding like a ████ probably is really the subconscious birth of barbell brigade so you should thank those two guys dominating i'm gonna change the logo to a red couch a red velvet cat and a small child hiding behind it ████ couch brigade [Laughter] i remember when we were doing mma show i was like man why you ████ lift so much and you're like man all i want to do is ████ punch somebody through a

19:27 window grab a dude and pull him out of the car and i was like oh that's a good leap that's a good reason man that's a really good reason it's our lipstick i already forgot you know that's already what like 10 years and you thought that was your reason yeah yeah you just don't remember because you just have so many layers built up do you have like a super goal right now like something where it's like yeah i'm doing that ████ now it's no longer a car it's like an airplane window or some ████ while you're flying in the air dang you're like the fast and the furious it just keeps going up space shuttle's next geo out of a helicopter the production budget just goes up now it's a new motivation a super goal in terms of life or anything you want um i do want to do a movie like that's i think the main reason why all this stuff started so it's one of those things where like if if it doesn't happen when i'm 30 and it'll happen when i'm 40 it doesn't happen that'll happen on 50 but for sure making a movie like beginning to end is

20:18 something that's i've always wanted to do let's try it is there a script that you want to make like there's a bunch we wrote together what's your favorite like what's the one that you're like out of all these that we did this is the one we're gonna do if i get that opportunity when you get that opportunity i don't have like a favorite one i like all of them if i had to pick one pick one like let's say someone's gun your head dude oh then it's the uh uh 60 seconds one i like that one it's when the mcdojo man yeah yeah yeah this is a good one you must fight in the mma ring yeah i love i just i like action i like comedy it's that's like i like the end yeah there's a lot of really really good scenes i want to talk about them but it's probably gonna ruin it or spoil it you'll probably probably if you're talking about making when you're 50 i don't think anyone will remember but i understand if you had to fire one

21:09 of us here and then replace us with an old person you already fired in the past who would it be yeah that's really good pick one dude well there's so many people that got fired so many how do we even count you know that's like they all left on horrible terms too can't cop out with like a geo or some ████ dude technically none of them are fired julia was fired oh she was the most fired i was fired we booted her chinese ass out when she comes back every couple months i'll probably replace anthony with josh maybe we miss josh though there you have it guys thanks for watching the hot seat i'd replace anthony with and just fill in the blanks with the random name they didn't have to have worked here it's always got to be method you just want to ask it i'm here for the fans

21:59 you know i i'm here for the fans and the free gas money and food i would trade anthony for ted from wong fu are you here for the fans huh you son of a ████ [Laughter] strategically placed gingerbread it's upside down yeah i'm sorry sorry then arms rejection i accidentally left on that son of a ████ you could have grabbed the tabasco the red bull the kirkland water you know what you wanted held up you know you you
