0:00 [Music] and welcome back to the quest crew podcast where we are lucky enough to have lovely guests here thank you guys for coming cast of jk news thank you for having us you guys couldn't get anybody else couldn't get anyone else actually it's um it's we only have one jk member here which is nick because it's joe from tiger belly oh right anthony from kenja's and bar from barbell brigade and i'm representing jk news thank you i am the resident jk news guys did you know you were the jk embassy that's the knicks official is it the lionheart academy no it's nte training baby that's what's up oh nickname your training why did you grab my harmony nte training the year yeah why you never talk about

0:50 this ████ i'm jk you're on my arm when you said that just because you know i'm just a little nervous example so he's trying to give us a little he hates promoting himself this is so funny what do you think that is pretty young i think that is about me let's talk about it he hates compliments too that he's doing a good job he can't stand we should give him more wake up sharon all right guys so welcome to the quest crew podcast counting your calories with jujitsu welcome back hawk this is the first time having you here with uh your buddy ryan as the official host now we're stealing him away from your crew as well as we have this other dancer here that you're very familiar with from six

1:50 you know like on the show yeah anthony gets like made fun of a lot but i always like to rational in my head it's because everywhere else other than this room yeah he's like the coolest see we have to balance it out yeah yeah he's probably one of the most distinguished decorated half to balance the industry and he's still working that's the difference we're all not really working and the weird thing is he likes coming here too anthony he's so cool he's like brad pitt on the outside and he comes in here and he's bobby lee all of a sudden it's kind of like i think it's kind of like when people go to like dominatrixes it's like a ceo that likes to hire a hooker that drips candle wax on their ass wait so when are you guys going to start handcuffing anthony during these podcast patreon that's my picture oh okay if this was hawks the guest today yeah he's gonna be administering the ball gag this episode for you

2:41 yeah ████ i have a question when you first met anthony lee what was your first impression so that's why we wanna hear what he has to say yes when was the first time i didn't he's like not memorable not memorable at all no well i have a terrible memory did you meet up backstage crying you know what we were ████ doing we were ████ at a party doing this for like half an hour we were ████ at a party we were like what is this wait what is this first time you met we were doing this for like half an hour what is this can you explain he's he's gonna say it in a nice accident so it understands it's just that's weird how do you expect to win anything like that that's crazy no we were talking about a couple months ago but it's this you know you have different techniques and dance and um there's one called fixed point uh it's

3:31 like more like an animation popping technique and i think at the time it was kind of new to it so we were just practicing it and we found out that i guess um that was whack i had introduced it to mike or something and it was yeah it was such a weird surprise did anybody master it was like did it get passed around and there was one person no you're dude you guys are fix pointers okay so the idea the idea i'll give a basic idea but the funny thing about it is like uh we were learning how to practice like if you have one fixed point then anything that you move that one point stays fixed right that's the idea of it so even if you take your finger away from it and you put your fixed point now here you should still be able to create the same illusion right so that's the concept but the funnier concept is that you're at a ████ party in la and you're sitting in a corner of room while everyone else is socializing a drink

4:21 with hot ████ and ████ you're just sitting there like this for like half an hour like but the funny thing is whenever we started touring his quest and we would do club shows and stuff same thing i would be just sitting down doing that it would be like the craziest party and then you would just kind of see is that hot and he's like in a vip booth that's deserted way in the ████ corner and he's just going do you know what that's like that's like that's like can when we're doing when we're going on our walks i just see can like i don't know if this is the term but he's just voguing like this but he's smoking 100 percent corrective yeah yeah he's voguing right you know that's that's the behind the curtain of being an artist though because when you see an artist perform right it's so ████ cool it's so insane but behind like rappers are like sketches elephant

5:11 velvet sullivan you know what it's so not cool that's not that's like the whackest ████ ever but then when you come out oh ████ drink so ████ cool or whatever but behind the scenes ████ the garage collage this might be this might be a hot take but i don't think rappers do that that's their version of ████ y'all dude elephant velophant dude his second try garage yeah yeah yeah when it's collage dude stop rapping that's your best rappers don't do that man yeah crazy rhyme words they gotta work on their juices and they're not using it they're not using any help he's trying to they're just going in the corner they're just like

6:02 there's no dictionary it sounds like this there's so many tools so that's basically how we met artists that was 2005. substitute this for our penises and it's not a hat it's both like this [Laughter] it's not touching it's not touching it's not even a sword fight it's a ████ magnetic dick energy yeah yeah so for anyone who doesn't know me and hawk have been dancing together since 2000 probably four holy ████ wow eighteen years got done yeah and then we've been dancing against anthony for even longer than that yeah we're like for like 58 years yeah from our past lives all right we'll do this let's do this so we have representatives from the quest crew yeah and we have a representative from the kinshas

6:52 if you were going to draft the remaining members in this room to be on your quest crew members who would you pick and why why would you pick me to be on the quest and why would you pick me to be on the kingdom fight throw voguer and he said velophan fight for every single one of them on your crew and why would joe be more on the question if bart was on quest i'm already first pick i know yeah i know we would i will be on quest we would have better rhymes elephant and developer there if you were there we would just be way more fit but then we wouldn't be able to say who helped us because he doesn't like being told that he's good at it join the crew and never tell anyone he was a part of the crew and also not even talk good about the crew yeah and he'll also be like uh yeah i'm gonna go to rehearsal oh i'm just kidding i got to

7:43 be with my wife that's ████ nick dude i don't know the ████ you're talking about dude ████ be like hey what time is dance rehearsal all right i'll be there oh wait i actually have to train david so i'll see you guys later i'm still a trainer which side will toby on i don't know i mean i've been wanting to be a kinja for quite some time you know but then like i was never invited so yeah until now how much does it cost to be in kindergarten yeah six hundred dollars a month a week steals that's a steal right wait it costs to be in a dance crew i'm too cheap for that ████ i think it's like church and it's 500. i thought it's like church well i guess you have to give money in the offering

8:33 but then it's like suggested you know oh yeah this is also suggest now you guys have to fight for bart i don't think anyone is no no you guys have to pick up something from barbara hey we actually pay you to be in jk that's different man that's not fair do you gotta pay to beat a guy wrong you got it all wrong i think that's why this show's going down that's what we should do start charging we need to charge people like you charge people for barbell brigade right yeah when they come that makes sense do we gotta sell the seats oh my god how much how much does it cost to be in quest if it's cheaper than kendra's i mean your life your whole reputation i'm in dude time i'm an expectation so it's free all this plans you had for life as a straight man throw that away yep you'll remember [Laughter]

9:25 yeah i don't know i'm too masculine for that yeah yeah i think you're more of a kendra dude yeah cages are like the pinnacle of masculinity you know what though i think like dance wise dance style wise quest crew has too much break dancing and i'm not ready to break my bones it's all an illusion yeah yeah if you really look closely it's just this with their bodies so like we've professionally figured out how to look like we're doing more than we are yeah to the point where we'll come off stage and each member will get the wrong compliment like a personal goal yeah dude you were flipping all around like crazy you're awesome man other guy because he did the he did the jump over you guys yeah if you really look at any of our shows he's the only one really

10:15 doing flips him and rudy everyone else is just kind of going underneath them i have a question for you you're doing ████ barely my flip i do like one flip and then hirano does the one leg thing yeah i'm not really doing but then the thing is at the end of the show everyone thinks everyone had an equal part in everything this seems so acrobatic yeah well oh also you do the thing where you land on your back that's kind of a flip it's like a hassle florida you see you guys ages ago at the ████ long beach convention center 1984 the day i was born just barely sticking out looking at a show oh ████ there was someone in your joey and they always got a reaction because they did this super gay move where they touched their toes and then rolled up slowly oh that's probably that's victory

11:05 that was his move yeah i saw that and i was like man that's a real gay clue no like i was like what's coming up the real yeah that's a really cool move hey uh speaking of speaking of gay so everybody really really loves your accent how do you do a gay british accent it starts gay it's your job to straighten it out queen like she divvies out that role there ever oh so it starts you have to get it it starts flamboyant yeah what does a flamboyant british accent sound like the baby the baby comes out and goes what looks milk please that's your dad you idiot i'd like to have milk of the penis

11:59 right that's british that's a bye baby because you got to be gay they drink their tea with me nobody's gonna say that like it's just that's so disturbing well they are smaller yeah they're more articulate they're more articulate than americans i think yeah i i love it though when i asked the question when i'm like i have no idea what's funny it's like after knowing him for this many years i've heard him have to explain his accent so many times like that's the first thing people say when they meet him they're like why do you talk like that yeah why do you talk like that yeah like he's choosing chinese way you're supposed to talk like that why don't you talk like this one why are you not talking like this who's that i don't know that would be so funny for what your asian accent's very unusual did the asian accent they're like why are you

12:49 not talking like this one because that's what it felt like they were doing aquafina she's like dude i'm from new york and they're like why don't you talk like this who said that like the people they're like everyone that's criticizing like the reporters and ████ no because she like sounds hella urban and they're like no you're appropriating yeah yeah but it's like she's like what am i supposed to sound like we can can you do an american accent i've gotten this so many times too oh yeah you gotta give him a sentence though yeah yeah and i'll do a really bad job with it okay it's probably better now uh say um uh my name everybody calls me mcbee or or i'm colonel john mcburney yeah yeah i am colonel i'm colonel john mcburney i'm colonel with john mcburney colonel john mcqueen no that's that's

13:40 your american accent but try to get more clint eastwood with it i'd say old enough for kisses yeah okay so i tried like a western old enough for kisses oh enough for kissing oh that's good that was really good it's the context maybe it depends yeah it sets you up better that's pretty good that's pretty good so like you know party being in quest crew i feel like you guys getting some fun shenanigans so the funny thing is that like back in the day whenever when he was like kind of new here uh and then after meeting him people go to me and then go why is that guy he has an english accent i would say he just he just does that it doesn't help when when we go to a restaurant or a cafe and that's what they say to the the waiter and then they just look at me as if i'm joking the whole time so we leave with them thinking that and i'm just an ████ at that point

14:31 committed talking to him and he's like talking normally they're looking at them like oh they're like okay okay they're like it's freaking it makes it worse when i try to explain too because they're like oh wow you're really committed but well it's got the backstory too wow yeah because the story is actually naturally complex so it sounds like he's just freestyling it if they think you're a ████ ████ yeah you're a total ████ other one so the point that i've like this happened so many times when like when they say that i'm like yeah yeah sure that's you know and it doesn't help that we live in l.a because they're probably like ████ actors you know what you should do you should ham it up even more and do like a crazy even more stereotypical british accent and then just see if that like eggs them on a little bit but you know what's crazy is that for the longest time i would think why would anyone do that you know that's just so stupid that's mental illness until i actually met someone that

15:21 that did it and then it was really confusing to me well all the time yeah even though that's not where they're from but what's the rationale for that though i i don't i are you cool with this person i don't know him that way well it's like it's almost like i manifested that because i used to say that i would as a joke i would just go yeah he just done that for attention to be cute and then late years later we meet a guy who's doing it probably for the same reason for sure for that and i was like oh just to like but i was amused that someone would actually do that was there accurate though i wouldn't know he was doing an australian accent oh was it for fun or was it i guess like what if you do a scouse accent the ████ is scout like that like that's all i got can you do it i'll just say the actual way

16:11 can you do it what's that um accent what's your what's your is your action southern what is it i don't someone told me you sound posh yeah i'm well because i grew up in oxford so oh yeah maybe in comparison that's not one of the dictionaries you know oxford yeah that's high class it doesn't sound like a university that's for sure was it remember we were in the philippines and we were ordering food and you told me to act like i don't speak english i was trying to act like i was filipino and then they were like you ████ speak english can you speak tagalog no i can't your guys's crew sounds fun because you're when you talk about your crew it's just problems it's like you didn't mess each other up oh don't speak english can you tell us what you were thinking about that roe v wade thing just before

17:02 the camera wait we're trying to keep this channel dude oh yeah my bad this is like early maybe like earlier earlier 2000s we used to do this thing called gradual gay where if you were gradual oh you're in food at a restaurant yeah you have to get through your whole order start really straight and by the end of your order you have to sound super flammable like the stereotypical flamboyant you have to do it in this graph line do you start macho macho yeah they'll be like yeah welcome jack in the box all right check this out all right check this out i want some fries hey listen boss make them curly and then for the burger you know put on sourdough maybe a little cheese do it without laughing yeah i gotta do it like i'm so stupid

17:52 who's the best at that i don't know probably because i'm gay the guy better be the best the guy taking the order because it's so gradual it's like oh okay okay okay and then at the end it's like hang on a second you have to like hide it like what just happened you're gonna be so gradual you pull up to the window and you're like i thank you oh can you give me some more extra ketchup please it resets every time every window every time every window but that's like a five second exchange i know the credit card it has to be big it's not gradual anymore so you'd rather be a crew that does stuff like that rather than he's more natural to his personality complaining and ████ wait what kind of complaints has you have you heard from always complaining about something it keeps going it's very macho take

18:46 did you get lean program working it doesn't look like it yeah attacking ████ dude it's literally like would you rather be in the hugely successful company or just have a ton of fun to get nothing is that a backhanded i mean you guys heard it here first can just have no fun no fun they're hugely successful super that's why their outfits are so dark and sad and they cover their frowns sad they cover their frown purple and flamboyant happy masks are crying because we're at the end of the order yeah yeah yeah we're at the beginning of the world yeah we're already ordering the sauces on our side yeah

19:52 you
