0:00 [Music] welcome back to a very special episode of careful boys where we are indeed very careful boys super careful today we got anthony lee pretty exciting hey whoa i haven't sat in a seat in a long time didn't your boy mike song come out with the app it's pretty sick man my song specifically like song what mike song taking all the beats making the big moves man i had a dream about mike song one day never met him was i closed on yeah all right nice he was in the dream and i was like oh i know anthony league and that was the whole dream what did he say after that was he like embarrassed or was he like he just looked at me like perplexed in my dream he just was like like i didn't exist him in your dream how ████ i'm gonna talk to him have you ever had someone come up to you and they they um they make sure that they know that you're a tuber but they want you to let somebody else know that they
0:50 say hi can you play the scenario out okay yeah so it's like it's like hey uh hey uh yeah you're on jk right hey can you tell joe what's up [Laughter] i can't say that that one's happened yeah not about you but that happens oh where's david or where is this person how the ████ do i ████ know i'm just here ████ buying water and ████ yeah david's in torrance [Laughter] where else would he be jesus christ oh so you saw my song of dreams [Laughter] the creative freedom that you could have and that's what you chose yeah nikki did
1:42 tell me that she was playing poker last night and she was like she's like there's this guy who's jk fan and he just kept on asking me what bart's workout regimen was like i ████ know she's like i ████ know oh so annoying i'm so sorry nikki that's ████ good to work out right now good question i'll show you guys the texture i feel like that's a good question though right what's your workout regimen before we get to this this stupid thing big macs i do the kinjaz workout regimen that you can get on the kenjus dojo for your cardio that's why you got abs right i do reps on a me sandwich no this is awesome so you built the ████ app huh it's uh it's technically not an app's online dance tutorial platform we call it just dojo for beginners okay finally teaching people how to dance huh no dude about time
2:32 online give back to your community jesus christ you ████ um i think you know the crazy thing is uh when the studio or when the pandemic happened and we had to close the studios before we closed them down there was this moment where we're like oh we should take things online and a lot of people were doing that right everybody started jumping on like that like what was taboo or what was like not cool before in a purist artist form it's like i'm not gonna take online dance classes suddenly every ████ person and their mom was like throwing platforms isn't that funny when they gotta survive they finally throw away their pride it's so true it was like nah ████ that man i'm ████ beer man i'm never gonna go ████ mainstream and ████ they're like i can't pay the bills i'm not working at mcdonald's i'm gonna teach you how to ████ dance online this will never go digital
3:23 i'll never go i need a ████ personal personal person man people within the industry though are usually the hardest on themselves like when when you started telling me about you guys were gonna take it online i thought it was the sickest ████ ever but then when you're telling me how like um oh i don't know or whatever and i'm like i don't get it i just feel like i think artists are the hardest on themselves and they feel like they're gonna i don't know sell it out or do whatever but you never know who they're selling out to or who their own personal enemy is for me i just from the outside i'm just like oh it makes perfect sense they're ████ expanding they're crushing it yeah yeah well you don't understand you're not a real artist but dancer the dancer that's true from dancer to dancer i was i was kind of embarrassed that you sold out like that bro because i never saw my art you know what i mean like
4:13 we sold out super hard because uh we're not even doing the advanced stuff there it's all just beginner stuff so oh my god bro super hard sell out so it's just this left side and that's it because he has the inside of his right arm doesn't even connect it just stops here really where the inspiration really comes from though is like when we actually before the pendant when we had the dojo right um after abdc is when we crowdfunded on indiegogo and we were able to get a bunch like over a hundred thousand dollars to open up the kinder dojo in monterey park that's more money than we got for beating you [Laughter] someone give ryan a microphone ████ drop it from the ████ top of the ceiling i try to point that out you guys did better in the long run look at that ████ up that's true this guy dude is a gemini though cause you you like stop there
5:07 i've never met anyone who chills more than you it's out of all of us ryan's the biggest ████ winner yeah the biggest killer and ryan's just chill like we're all talking about exciting stuff and ryan's like so what are you guys up to and he's like he's and he'll just suddenly sit there and he's like all right i bought some he throws it away like a duck happens when you're worth 19 million dollars that's the attitude you live he's got energy dude retirement he's hired no but that's great dude that's great dude ryan sitting here he's like i heard some people pay rent huh how does that work directly you pay at the beginning or the end of the month you give them a check did they take that it's clearly more lucrative to get second do a gofundme and then you end up with more profit
5:57 that's ████ me with more work that was 100k and go go fund me uh it was the indiegogo campaign yeah dude so we open the studio we're on our high horse totally like like the highest we've ever been this is 2015 or whatever right and then i remember all of us were like all right let's we're gonna ████ teach our community so we started booking out all the classes all the kinders are teaching this advanced ████ and i remember a handful of us maybe we're getting like full classes but for the most part the amount of people one who will uh want to dance like hip-hop is already kind of like a small bubble and then number two like learn it from asian people like especially back then dude and then like level three it's like kind of more like iso stuff so it's like really really advanced too like who's even good enough to even be at that level to learn something so we would always get like these we'd always get like these uh you know these tall lanky asian kids like myself that were like head to toe and kendra's gear they're super fans and they'd be like oh my god
6:48 it's my first class oh wow ████ this is really hard and they're like discouraged because it's too hard yeah but they would have a good time but at the same time like consciously as a teacher you know of a small studio too so it's not like thousands of people in class you're just kind of like ████ this is a really hard routine i i'm just gonna have fun with it you know what i mean and it would work but then we would find out that the beginner's classes when it really wasn't even about the choreography combo or who the teacher was suddenly everyone was signing up for those classes and they would build their community within themselves and they they would practice in the parking lot they created their own facebook group a lot of passion yeah because and they would just meet new people along this kind of beginner's journey that had way less pressure to like you know there's also a little bit of that toxic culture in like dance classes too where it's like everyone's trying to be seen everyone wants to be acknowledged you like kill it yeah and then like get competitive like
7:38 in your class dude like the most swaggiest 3 000 balenciaga outfit just to make sure that like when the camera's on you're like freestyling after the routine hopefully you get booked for some like nonchalant concept afterwards but that makes me want to wear a beret and a ████ glasses and go you what is your name i'm gonna make you famous star you see right in dude you would fit right here ryan knows what i'm talking about he's going to be standing there with a clipboard what is your name oh my god those moves that's important that's part of the economy now like it just happened to become that way it's so weird it's it's just how it is right it's the culture but but now when we started seeing the beginner classes again without even knowing who the teacher was everyone would just sign up because they knew they were gonna have a good time i was like why are we trying so hard you know what i mean to like do such an
8:28 advanced and complicated thing that's difficult for us as creators always trying to outdo our last routine as well when there's so many more people that find joy in just connecting not necessarily becoming the best in the world i think i think it's harder it's harder to teach beginners classes too because they sell stupid because because they're such a balenciaga what's that is peter pan's shadow dude one hat away from a zorro costume ████ peter pan shadows dude so so it's hard to i think it's harder because because this is a funny thing about it it's like you have to be a super good dancer already and then you have to go back to your first frame of mind on what made you fall in
9:19 love with it way back in the beginning so you kind of have to gloss over all the things that you're doing now and it's like how do i connect with this person so that i don't make it intimidating you know it's like super difficult to do that not every teacher even can do that at all online so you're only doing it to a camera and never actually interacting with the student but just needing to feel what it must be like right to be a beginner with what you're doing so you're like it's like a weird sense of empathy in like a non-physical environment yeah it's kind of like isolated a little bit yeah but i mean it's the future you know what i mean it's like it would be it would be foolish to just be like nah like old school everybody come to the studio if you want to train you know in these two hours today's video is brought to you by masterworks masterworks allows anyone to become a shareholder in legendary artworks from the likes of picasso banksy and basquiat to name just
10:12 a few whereas in the past you needed millions for that level of art now anyone can invest with masterworks here's some reasons why masterworks is worth the investment contemporary art prices outpaced the s p 500 total return from 1995 all the way to 2020 by 106 percent contemporary art has a price appreciation of 23 on average when inflation is above 3 and that's happening right now contemporary art prices have appreciated 14 annually on average from 1995 to 2020. unlike some assets that can be printed out out of thin air there's only a very limited supply of this asset such as this painting we have
11:03 over there made by bart the unfinished sun it's a thousand ethereums it's one of a kind and as time progresses the supply will only continue to become more scarce making it more sought after diversify your portfolio with an asset that actually performs better when inflation is high and our listeners get to skip the wait list just go to masterworks dot art slash record see important disclosures and regulations at masterworks dot io slash cd that's masterworks dot art slash record yeah which we still do that we still do all of it at our advanced workshops like that but to like really still be able to reach people i mean some of our biggest fans are like india the philippines brazil you know what i mean all these places that can't come to la and train
11:53 i've always wanted to learn something and wanting to learn something from us because they saw us on nbc or whatever it's not like i want to learn how to do the sense and do the hardest combo ever it's like i just i kind of want to just learn some of the moves and like understand what that's like you know so so hopefully this is just like a a step towards being able to reach all those people and and also for us dude as a business that you know having to close the studios that ████ was tough you know it feels kind of like a failure in a sense even though it's like it is it really is it totally is a failure yeah our good friends are like it's not really your fault our bad friends are like it's a failure uh it's totally your fault says bart quan or hurt quan over here but to be able to like try again and to find out i don't see mcdonald's closing [Laughter] franchises multi-billion dollar corporation always see trillion dollars dairy queens and
12:43 ████ do you know what you do see yeah soup plantation you see old pizza hut buildings and they're not pizza building i know yeah but they're a pizza hut buildings yeah right they're really good they're pizza hut drills don't miss or or wind chills because you know they got the ████ smooth triangles remember circuit city oh circuit city where they had the ████ circuit in the middle of the ████ thing that's in the clouds i didn't know that you needed a whole store for that many wires and i didn't know why my dad kept getting more but we had boxes full of wires in his closet and i guess it gave him joy i also don't know how sears is still liquidating and still closing i don't get that either just a real estate company now they just have ████ tons of real estate that's like their whole business i feel like sears has been like closing down for like 15 years it's a
13:33 great way to get people in the store that's true i've seen them running one montabella has been closing for 10 years right yeah i've been to series a bunch of times and every time i'm there an employee commits suicide the lights are always like the fluorescent lights are always like really dingy and dark so dark jesus flickering yeah it's bad in there i think i think you were right at the cusp of understanding your market and then the pandemic came because i think this is your true demographic all right there's asian girls all over the world that want to be defiant and say no i'm not going to be a ████ doctor mom no pharmacist here you know i'm going to be a dancer and ████ but because they're very goal-oriented and they want structure and class and they want to get grades and ████ a dance school is the perfect place where you can look like a rebel but
14:24 still be scholastic you know what i mean scholastic rebels that's not the type of rebel but still be scholastic yeah that's gonna be great and ████ that's ████ diplomacy you guys are talking about it i'm gonna hire joe to be the guy who gives out grades because you shouldn't okay this is what you should do okay you got your after school program right with the defiant asian girls that are just like nah ████ that would be kpop you know and then you got like you got the morning and afternoon classes for the chinese grandmas so the stretchers all generations of asian women and there's a huge market for that huge my free advice is giving you right now yeah yeah this is christ i'm a genius marketer and i don't know why you don't take this stuff no i'm taking it all right dude look like a rebel but still be a scholastic yeah that's pretty funny i
15:15 like that he's like what the ████ is going on out here he's like this is where the asian grandmas are supposed to be yeah we talked about this this is where they learn their self-defense you know what's cool though that i like is that there's not a lot of dancers in the industry that kind of grew to the level that they did where they're still teaching basics like they're most of those dancers are only teaching advanced or master so it's dope at doing that i don't know if you guys ever seen this footage of with twins teaching in class whether it's like it's like a room of 200 kids trying to take la twins class and of course you're so ████ famous that everyone's gonna want to take it out but no one can do one thing that's like mike tyson this room with 200 people are just doing random ████ is is that kind of the standard in like the dance industry where like most people i think you just get to a level as a teacher you want to teach what you think is dope or beneficial so like you know what's rewarding to yourself yeah you know what but also nothing you can't help that a bunch of random fans are going to take your class either you know
16:05 oh yeah but mike imagine mike tyson is like teaching a master class you guys are teaching a master class but for the beginner class hey put your hands up trying to survive for 30 seconds what try to survive so like just walk up to the guy just knock his ████ ass out like he's ████ hard get him on your website i would take a class 100 computer class with a guy i don't care what it is a computer class yeah it could be cl he could be doing clay pots and ████ i think mike tyson should teach a master class on pigeon training yeah he's like really into that is he really yeah yeah dude ████ room in las vegas his wife didn't mike
16:55 didn't mike tyson's like ex-girlfriend or wife or something like edith pigeon was dude i don't know it sounds it sounds real it sounds like something i think the pigeon was named robin kids maybe i'm tripping that's a that's a funny thing to trip on but i made that up his wife ate his ████ guy has he talked about it a bunch on his podcast and stuff i feel like he got like really upset and like did he did he ever beat his wife like he kind of has a documentary about like him sending pigeons out i feel like his wife cooked his pigeon when she was pissed at him or some ████ so he like beat her i can hear him getting stoned on his podcast and he's like man these pensions they really understand you honestly if you type that into google right now i bet you could find that i bet you find that exact clip there's like two my tysons though there's one that like i'll ████ kill the world and then there's the new like guru um it's the weed sensitive guy that's the
17:45 weirdest do you see the video where he was at like a comedy show or something like that a guy pulled out a gun yeah and then there was like a big scuffle and afterwards mike tyson like sees him gives him a hug and they hug it out he defused it pretty well was someone trying to shoot mike tyson i guess two other guys were fighting one guy pulled the gun out and then mike tyson was like hey man like what's up and he gave him a hug and i think it was all good what's mike tyson he just went up to a ████ dude it's crazy he was sitting there watching it at sunset there's like a comedy show and this dude came in and wanted to meet mike and he started telling mike yo like we should do a fight so it'll help me like gain some notoriety this random guy and then the security dude was like trying to kick him out and then the dude just pulled out a gun and cocked it and then everyone just kind of stopped ████ yeah it's ████ mad and then he goes he was
18:35 just like i'm just playing man it was just a joke and then everyone's just like yo dude and then my april yeah mike was like no just come here just come here and then he just like dabbed him and then dude put it away and then and then as he walked out he was like he went back to security guys i could have blown your brains out in front of everyone and then he just left they let him leave no charges ████ real game oh i thought he was holding the head of that guy tyson too so so what's your what how do people go uh take your take your class with mike tyson in it yeah yeah um so uh all they they do is uh if you check on like instagram or all of our ads that we've been posting like consistently for like the last week um there's a link and then it's it's built on this platform called you screen which a lot of different creators like put out types of content like that so it's super easy
19:25 and ████ you can go ████ on your tv tv or a tablet or phone or whatever the ████ um and it just has all the tutorials right there they're all beginners their skills and drills and stuff it's ████ 12.99 a month which is like less than a single class but you know you have ████ 30 videos there already and we do four videos a month or it's 120 bucks for the whole year so it's like 10 months to see as a someone who's maybe interested in dancing like we're we just pretend i'm a master but we're gonna pretend that i don't know nothing and i'm like all right oh dance i always wanted to dance and i click oh okay i'm gonna buy and then now what's the first thing i see first thing you got to buy is a zoot suit cherry popping daddy i got the hat already you know that's what i'm saying turn on some zapping rods okay so what's
20:16 the first thing um is it like because it's scary like it's like oh this is just so perfect and professional why we wanted to build the platform too uh because it's all beginner stuff it's super super easy for somebody who has never danced before to go on because most people are like like all that dancing is really cool i want to do that but you don't know how to go from like a to z everybody's trying to jump to z you know what i mean whereas like with these classes when you jump in you're gonna see ████ b c d e f g style like classes that are just depending on your framework depending on your style depending on your speed or your comfort or maybe you already really are familiar with the songs we're just using a lot more like you know when we choreograph advanced stuff sometimes you're always trying to like find the most innovative sounds and then nobody knows what song is and that's what makes it exciting whereas over here we're going to do like all your favorite songs top 40 ████ so if you already have a familiarity you're like oh i already knows do a leap a song
21:07 then memorizing the steps to it is actually going to be a lot easier for you you know when the hook is going to start or the verse or whatever you know when she says this you know oh okay cool and then as you sing it in your own head that's what beginners do a lot they're like kind of like mouthing or humming or singing the song themselves they'll be able to like associate that with really basic steps um is honey like the most iconic dance movie yes nobody but seriously no no which one is this ass ass ryan what's the most in honey too i'm not going to ask ryan you got served i think it depends on what style if you want to go hip hop i think maybe you guys serve the most iconic because of what it was at that time yeah it depends that was our introduction in the rainbow people say beach street some people say isn't it technically black swan though that's the most prestigious save the last dance no what about what's that one right it's like i had the time of my life and the guy picks her up swayze uh ghost
22:01 great ████ dance that's the best dance movie that's a great dance movie dude should we all learn a routine and then practice it refer to all of us we should take a class at the kinja studios as the careful boys dude i think i think if i take that class you're gonna afterwards ask me to join the kimchi's dude i'm actually gonna buy a balenciaga outfit right now we should go there dressed like dancers and then we could try to show off can you teach us a class yes small short class yeah once you sign up for 12.99 i'm going to i'm going to you are a kenja are there are you don't need to sign up anymore are there different tiers or is it 12.99 for like everything it's 1.99 for everything a month or 120 for the whole year oh okay that's it oh nice cool so we're just hoping a bunch of people sign up and then forget that their account's logged in
22:52 dude some dudes hourly rate for privates is higher than that what's the refund policy can they sign up and i learned for a week and they get their money back no it's a rug pull we just bounce satisfaction guaranteed no hell no 2022 dude [Music] you
