0:00 a lot of the dance jobs unless it's like maybe like a tour it's like you train so hard and you go so crazy and then like the jobs you usually get are like yeah oh yeah for sure could you do the na neigh I'm like I love the na breaking for na [Music] ne okay you might have to think pretty hard for this but what is the worst job or gig you've ever had I got a couple let's start that's how we you that oh I used to work in the juvenile detention center oh that's cool for juveniles okay yeah I was a correctional officer oh you yeah I was like you correctional officer and I would have to stop fights and stuff like that how old were you when you did this I was pretty young I was like 25 is that normal that like the cosos in there are
0:51 like yeah so that job is like a job that just needs people to fill the positions and I needed a job at the time so they they'll take anybody D really damn so yeah I did that and it was like it sucked cuz going into the facility we couldn't take our phones so I had no idea what's going on in the outside world for 8 hours and I'm just dealing with bad kids all day having to stop fights prevent fights from happening like and I worked at the time I was working 130 the shift I was working 1:30 p.m. to what is it like 9:30 P 9 or 10 p.m. so like my whole day will be gone yeah uh it was just stressful man and the crazy thing is I was more I didn't like my co-workers more than like some of the kids oh really that made the job worse is who you worked with honestly cuz like the the people who get these jobs were
1:42 like people who wanted to be cops or whatever but since this job is so easy to get or like they wouldn't qualify for like the police academy they would come to and they would have like this power like this power yeah and I I just I just did not like it at all did you feel like you had any like influence over the kids like in a PO like were you able to like reach them or was it kind of like you just have to do your job like so they tell you they tell you in like the training program they'll tell you you're not going to change any kids lives in here so damn straight up straight up you're not going to change any kid's lives in here don't cuz that's your your job is not to change your lives it's just to like they have they have like uh what you call it not counsel counselor or something like that to do that part so that's already somebody's job my question is how is the chat it was it was it was pretty good honestly but I hated it I just just fly and oh you just grabbed the fly but like this and I
2:33 grabbed it the fu it's dead oh it's bleeding actually bleeding she literally was like put it out of its misery yeah it's already dead double smash double tap yeah but yeah uh stopping fights so there was one kid who actually like attacked me oh so I unprovoked he just oh no so he got in a fight with another kid and usually what happens is officers will come and stop and the kids will be like all right now we have to stop he just turned around and just start swinging on me oh uh but he's a little kid so well not a little kid was like 16 what's the penalty for swinging at a co uh so it is a felony so felon yeah so they get so usually when that happens is uh they'll get sent to uh County which is like a basically an adult uh adult facility uh where it's like a 20 23 and one so they're in in their s
3:25 23 hours and they get only 1 hour out as opposed to what we were we were more like a dorm situation where you hang out so there you would get sent to like a actual like actual Jail uh but yeah I mean that job sucked that's a pretty intense one yeah I hated that job so much I was so depressed how long did you do it for a year like exactly a year like I I put in my two weeks and I was like oh ████ I've been here exactly a year and that's the most depressed you ever been that was the most depressed I've ever been in my entire life cuz you're just seeing like just bad kids who aren't making anything better of themselves and then on top of that I have to I have to be prison without my phone not knowing what's going on in the outside world like if like some bad news happens yeah bad news happens I don't I don't find out until 8 hours later did you ever did you ever in that entire time connect with any kid where you like I see potential in this no honestly you
4:15 do see like kids are like damn like you're actually a good kid but you're a knucklehead who's just hanging out with like other or like they have ████ parents who like like enable it's just like damn that really sucks but is there any Asian kids in there yeah there was a there was a there was a not a cambod they get their asses beat all the time no actually you know they were they were down there wasn't a lot there was maybe like maybe two or three but they got down cuz this separates by race naturally the same way that jail does yeah does so you can't really avoid that like it's a little it's a little a little different because like gang culture now is like it's not so much about race it's more about money about making money so they don't really care but it does in ways still once you're in in there this probably goes back to the OG Style dang it's pretty wild yeah man that does suck that's pretty intense yeah you
5:06 might have taken it man I worked in jail like wa Pest Control right after that Pest Control was the next Thing Pest Control is the next thing I honestly loved it yeah honestly D cuz you're by yourself hero yeah you're by yourself all you you just go from one house to another just spraying the house you have your own music on and they're usually not at home right yeah they're usually not at home yeah so I was chill for that yeah that's weird how the first one sounded so cool and the second one not and it's like no that that job took it out of you man yeah for sure but then Pest Control was like what does that mean that you you're really good at getting rid of dud all all that means you're spraying chemical around their house oh so it's you have to like learn how to like was it like a tough skill or no you got to learn their language yeah I I joke I tell people I did four whole hours of
5:58 pest control education wow it's like it's literally like a 4 hour it's like a 4 hour class to get like the certification like a 4 hour class yeah basically a video and you like take a test which is easy ████ is it like different stuff for like different is this all like insects right yeah you learned about different insects but you spray the same ████ it's like it doesn't matter it doesn't matter it's just you learn about it when you go in there with the thing Are you supposed to look for specific spots or you just spraying everything no you literally just you spray like the foundation of the outside and if they want the inside spray you like spray the base do you ever feel bad killing a bug feel bad really no you don't have you don't have it depends on the bugs like uh in Arizona we had transanal so I'll see a trans I'm like ████ like I don't want to oh hell no that they're cool transs are if insects were just like even the size of like a chihuahua like insects are so op like that's crazy they are intense like the
6:50 giant beetles there's a beetle that it shoots acid out of its stomach as I watched like a whole hour of like videos the other day in Hawaii there's flying cockroaches that was my first experience ever we call them the b52s those are wild you ever play with them yeah one time landed on my friend's head my friend was like yo my friend's like don't kill it that's Bob one came home with me oh what the ████ so it here yeah it was just wild it was in my luggage and I got home and I opened my luggage and it just flies out and I was like dude this he started breeding in California did you kill it oh yeah okay good cuz I was say I don't want that ████ in La can you imagine cross breeding with regular cockroaches imagine he's like I'm out of here guys to a new life in California in the
7:41 suitcase like you're never going to believe this I was already so freaked out and I saw at A's house I saw it this house centipede house centipede look it up it's so freaking scary house it it's this big it's this big and I it looked like a furry thing running I was like what's that was like all leged legs and they run fast the legs go out in every direction like that yeah W it's so what was the size of this thing that big that's cool they run so fast that's why you get a cat cuz cats would eat all of that but apparently they do no harm and they will eat the Cockroaches they will eat the Cockroaches they eat cockroaches yeah they eat cockroaches man you ever think about how like oh insects like when you're just like walking on grass like you're just like caring insects you don't even mean to like you know how
8:31 lucky we are to not have another species bigger than us that's just like I'm just walking just boom like your whole life like your whole civilization you mean like when every time you're walking across your lawn you're like killing just innocent bugs and I like to just think time works differently for them so they lived the whole life that's how I think you know what I mean like it's crazy like imagine if it was just like we're here and all of a sudden someone just someone giant decided to walk through here and we're all just yeah but they don't they don't have a feeling yeah it doesn't matter they don't have feelings bro just like a little tiny fly they even got Facebook dog right they even got credit cards smack them all what besides your um your what was it the medical thing did you have any other bad jobs like that were hard on you in the Netherlands m not that much that I could think of the the emergency one was like the most stressful yeah but other
9:23 than that no not really Netherlands pretty good with jobs huh depends I was to school most of the time so and then I was what about gigs did you ever do any photography shoots that didn't go right um no I got some couple of girls that wanted shoots and then they they were all so insecure that they didn't like all the photos I'm like and that ████ the whole mood for me so I kind of was like I never yeah that's tough I've never been in that situation but I can sympathize so are they telling you while you're shooting that I don't like it even when you edited all those photos cuz they had lot of pimples too so he had to do a lot of work on Photoshop and stuff and they still didn't like it because they were insecure and there were really good photos like something like that I've definitely done a head shot session where I got him back and I
10:13 was like crushed like yeah no it's it could be but that's that's something else then that's probably I was just awkward I feel like I was just like oh it wasn't your fault yeah it wasn't the it wasn't the photographer no the photographer was awesome he was the man it was really me like I couldn't I couldn't do my face I couldn't you see it in yourself you're like this is awkward do your preferred headshot face right now to the camera what you wish what you think it looks good hold Look Away 5 six seven eight hey very commercial very commercial Now give me like drama okay ready 5 six S8 and one wow T Noll what I'm saying now give me um UMB t telenova t NOA 5 6 7 8
11:05 and one oh hey what you doing you chilling bro you killing it I'm going I'm going to have the editors mess your face up so when you see this is my fear realize my fear my fear no my fear give me one cleen oh he wants to play too he wants to act he want to um give me John Wick if he was gay 3 2 1 just normal normal noral you can't tell I think you should to tell give me another one tell us something give me another one give me another one ready you're going to go South Korea look up look up South Korea now now slowly change to North Korea that's good now we know the
11:55 difference if we ever have to arrange them I don't think they know about it oh yeah they weren't here for that one I well we now we know the difference he thinks he can tell North and South Koreans apart 200 no I know so if you ever need that done that's your guy it's a big difference what what about you bad jobs bad gigs bad dance performances that you got suckered into doing I think a lot of stuff is just like they they hit you with like the exposure or like the opportunity or like you know we're building right now and like you know it's like this could really lead to something else like I feel like I've done a lot of stuff like that like I'm yeah I think more than I'd like to even like think about it's like bro like so much of it is just like for the potential next thing but then the next thing is like the same thing but then I was like a cocktail waitress for a while that was horrible it cocktail witches we
12:46 but it was it was awesome in terms of like the staff was cool my managers were super cool it was at a comedy club so it was like really fun like it was really cool but like just like the sheer like volume of people you have to get like all their drinks out and all their food done and it was just like it was a nightmare it was honestly a nightmare but listening to Comedy all the time and this is at a club where they have to order drinks right yeah so it's like a two drink minim so it's not like you it's packed yeah I like worked at this like massive place and it was like there's no way like The Closer on they haven't even got their first beer I'm like I'm so sorry and like especially like the rows were like so tight so I'm like holding this tray which I'm not extremely strong you know so like I definitely have dropped drinks on people like oh my God yes it was literally horrifying it's what can you offer them after that Happ another drink that's all maybe like a dessert be like oh we're going to take care of your check not even that it depends like how bad it is
13:37 would that come out of you if you had to do that no thankfully our managers the managers were super cool so they they kind of like hooked it up like that cuz they get it they get it it's like it was just too much that's a lot to do yeah yeah I worked at Forever 21 I worked at like retail yeah that I I didn't last anywhere I could I couldn't I would just like hide and like what's wrong with working at Forever 21 why was that hard it's just like like it's because it's fast fashion there's just like so much clothes like you know those like little boutiques and you can kind of put stuff back it's like when it's like a mall but it's like one store it's a lot I worked at a daycare that was awesome I love those kids was dope yeah daycare was super fire the only thing though is that I had to it was like basically like a we had to like perform for the kids so we had to learn all these like little songs but it was like Prett cool it was kind of awesome but like the thing is like it all be a song you know but with the word
14:28 just like slightly tweak so it's like the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star but it's like this like thing about Christmas instead and then but I just could never memorize anything because I was like working so much at night I was like dancing all night and then like I'd have to wake up at like 8: in the morning and these like little kids they don't even know where they are they literally don't even know they're there and I'm having to sing this song with a puppet and I'm like the parents are all holding their kids looking at me and I'm like and the rockets red like oh my gosh it was literally like the kids are doesn't know the song like notle little star like it's a variation you just start you never performed like that she never had bad like actual bad uh I feel like there's so much potential for dance to go bad yeah I think you're good
15:18 you're lucky though yeah I mean there have definitely been a lot of bad gigs but it's kind of like my mind I'm just like I'm just here to dance you Ain never you've never been you mean you've never been hired to do a project for someone where the choreography was so bad but you had to do it that is man that's like the challenge though cuz I kind of I think a good dancer can make any bad Cho look good oh don't say that you're going to end up hired by the worst people but like a good like that's you know if you're hired and the even if the the content's not so strong like you just got to pull up and Dam sell it you know so there's definitely like I have my opinions but at the end of the day I'm lucky to have the job so I'm just like true you know got to be grateful but yeah I think the main thing is just like doing stuff for free and then like they're just like hoping that like oh you guys can all split $1,000 amongst
16:08 the five of you this is what we have we have a budget of $1,000 and it's like bro like we're all going to make like that's that's what I hate about the dance world is that like you have to do that so much in the beginning and you also have to do that in the middle and sometimes in the end like you got to make those calls that are like just sometimes you only have a few minutes to decide if you're going to do it or not or it's like well they'll take care of your flight they'll take care of your stay but like you're not getting covered for the actual work you're doing or like they don't understand like the toil of like say a set is like 5 or 10 minutes but like it took us months to hours and hours to figure it out and like to make it like you could finish something quickly but to have it like be like well you know how you know what I mean like to make it like really worthwhile watching like that's a whole other Beast it's a lot yeah it's a lot of work it's definitely a labor of love like you
16:59 really got to like it yeah you got to love it I think that's like it's like I keep thinking about this like I can't wait to not want to dance anymore so I can just like have dude I can't wait to but I still want to like my heart still wants to dance but it's like I can't wait for this desire to be like removed from my heart just so I can like get on with my life well it's even I think it's even heavier yeah it's even heav for you I think because you you also run teams of kids that's an even heavier responsibility than just yourself it is too cuz it at some point like now I'm kind of like in a more sturdy place with it but for a while it feels like you're selling this like lie a little bit because like if I'm struggling financially right and then I'm here I am teaching these kids like put their all into it and obviously it's like Recreation fun and like skill building
17:50 and it's good for all the reasons like we're Sports sure yeah yeah yeah but then if they're thinking they're going to be a pro dancer and like maybe they will you know like God's plan right but like it's like knowing where I'm at I'm like I'm trying to get them to be like this is important it's like oh my gosh like it feels like I'm feels like I'm like tricking them you know what I mean like I feel like I have like some guilt about it but then now where I'm at I'm kind of like no it's important to like enjoy the creative process and enjoy yourself and like who you get to you know become on the journey is like so much more important than like actually you know so now I'm in a good place about it and I feel like yeah let's dance and like and we'll it for free you know what I mean cuz it's about like that that feeling but for a while it can be like very like that's why I tell all my kids that I coach like go to school St in school go if you can yeah
18:41 exactly sometimes that's you're you might be the only voice that some these kids have that's telling them something nice well I went to school too I think that's why I'm like just go just go you'll get it'll be over what if you told him to go to school and none of them showed up the next day yeah allc yeah they don't show up to rehearsal cuz they're all at school yeah like oh my D to go ████ school so he said this is more important hey guys I was just kidding follow your dreams ████ I guess that's that's almost the same as like a business teacher at a university when he doesn't have his own business that takes him away from teaching and you're like wait what you're teaching me how to do business but you are a teacher right you ain't got n yourself ████ it's a little funny but but then for for dance at least you know that's the reason they're there is not I I I don't think any especially for B boys it's even
19:32 easier to see that that's not the result because some of the best B boys are the poorest dudes on the planet and we do that right dude it's one or the other it's either you're really good at dancing and you have no money and because you spend all your time dancing or you have a lot of money and you're like not so great at dancing or you're like you know like it's like you're a better businessman than a dancer yeah of course yeah we got trade off of your time you know so it's like most of the best like free sellers it's like that's all they do and like they're lucky they're like they're like What's it called like in martial arts movies they're like sages that you never they're like living in a ████ cave but they're like the best at what they do yeah it's very similar to that you pay for things in different ways for sure respect both both ways yeah I had to quit that ████ long time ago ████ dance career I was like this is not it you want me to do how many air flares
20:24 how many times like quick how much or $500 ████ no man hell no or the funny thing too is like a lot of the dance jobs unless it's like maybe like a tour it's like you train so hard and you go so crazy and then like the jobs you usually get are like yeah oh yeah for sure like it's just like giving like can you party for 88s and it's like sometimes that's all you got no it's great it's great but just pay me 88s could you do the na neigh I'm like oh that's so I love the n breaking for n NE I love all Tik Tok dances yeah I'm there
