0:00 You You ever see those memes where it's like guys >> like no sleep, whatever. >> Yeah. >> 2:00 a.m. still go to the gym. And it's like guys with a cold. And he's like, >> "That's how I [laughter] feel like." >> That's true. >> The minute I get a cold, I'm like, "Ah, ████ I need a helmet." Holy ████ A helmet. What the ████ Welcome back to another episode of the Careful Boys. When was the last time or a time in general, Ashley? When was a time that you pushed your body to its fullest limit? >> Yeah, like that time you jacked off like 10 times and then you couldn't do it anymore and you ████ dry heaving and >> 10's not my number. >> You found a way to get the 11th round. [laughter] >> I was like 15 easy. >> Damn.
0:50 >> No, I'm joking. I'm joking. That's crazy, dude. >> Dude, I'd be pale afterwards. I >> think I did more than five or six, I think. >> Really? >> In one day, >> I think. And I was hurting already, but I was still horny and I couldn't control myself. >> That's like junior high discovery. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Is that what you mean by push your body to limit? >> No, I was I was thinking you would say something like when you ran the marathon, but you know that works, too. That's a different kind of marathon. >> But what about you? You're in the physical industry. >> Yeah. When did you ever break? >> Yeah. >> Physically. >> Or do you do that all? >> It was when we were training for MMA fights all the time and uh we're getting one of our guys, Hinrich, ready for his strength conditioning. And the workouts we'd have to do were just awful. It was just like sprint bikes pushing the sled for like way too like for an hour, you know, and just like ████ like there'd be times where you get on the bike and you're like you kind of want to cry cuz you're like ████ I don't know if I could do this. We're doing sprints. We're dead
1:40 tired. It's like the end of our workouts. >> Who designed the workout? Was there a coach or >> We had a strength coach. His name was Brandon Henry and he was like running. He was like a CrossFit guy. So he was just putting and this is kind of like in the like in the the days where >> just boss with the wall. >> Yeah. Just going getting after it, but it was still like, you know, there's there's tons of science behind just pushing your body and getting to that like lactate threshold area where you just feel like you're going to ████ die and you can't push. So, but it's been so long. Well, last time we did that was probably for the last jiu-jitsu comp I did where we were just training and we're rolling all the time and we're just doing sprints on a bike and we just do intervals. But now as I got older, I was like, "Ah, maybe I shouldn't do that as much." But it's getting to a point now where I'm like, "F███, I got to start doing that ████ again where like I'm getting like cold sweats. I feel like ████ all day
2:30 after I do it." because it does take so much out of you and sometimes like when you're thinking about like oh I have to like work and do things later then you're like ah maybe I shouldn't have pushed this as hard but back then when we were training for fights like we that's all we did and we didn't really have like our business to worry about we would just train like a bunch of ████ and it was just it was the aerodyine bike broke that ████ sucked and we would just do ████ man it was like like 12 sprints in a day like max effort and you just you couldn't do anything after that. You would have to just sleep all day and it would just ruin you kind of. But it's it's been a while since we've been pushing it that hard. Um yeah, because I don't know, part of you just feels like there's Yeah, we just couldn't function after that, right? But we haven't had a real reason to do that because it's hard to
3:20 get up for that for like a a jiu-jitsu match unfortunately because you're like, "Yeah, we're still wrestling. It'll be fine." >> You don't feel like you're as in much danger, huh? >> Yeah, for whatever reason. But when you get like a fight booked and you're like, "All right, you're going to fist fight somebody." You're way more willing to to to push yourself that hard. But the last crazy endurance thing we did was training for the marathon. That was pretty hard. I wasn't expecting Well, I knew it was going to be really tough on my body, but like when we ran what the highest mileage we did was I think until I got injured was like 17 miles, I think. >> Didn't we run a 17 mileer? We ran from So, you know, our house in Glendor, we ran from Glendor to HMart in Arcadia. >> What the hell? >> That's crazy, right? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. We ran all the way to HMart Arcadia. That was
4:10 >> I was toast after that. >> That was nuts. >> But it still felt like all right, we could we could like handle it. It'll be all right. Like afterwards, but for whatever reason, the the sprints on the air dive bike, those are the worst. Or even Have you ever done a Versa Climber? >> Oh, I hate those. or like Jacob's ladder. Like those things, >> those are ████ awful where you're you're you're on this I don't know what you call constant >> and you're midair, you're suspended, you're just doing this the whole time and if you the minute you slow down, you drop to the bottom and it takes so much momentum to get back up again. That ████ is awful. And it does make you feel like, "Yeah, I don't know if I want to do this." I've never got rabdo or anything like that before where you're like pissing blood or anything. That's how you know you like overreached and all that, but >> Jesus Christ, >> that's not okay. But as far as like the last time I did that, last jiu-jitsu tournament, I had
5:00 one match and I felt like I got hit by a truck afterwards [laughter] and I'm like, "Damn, I'm getting old, bro." Like >> like cardio and conditioning is lowering. >> Well, it's not even that. It was just like, you know, your what your body can handle now is a lot less than, you know, when you're 20s, you can ████ bounce right back, >> right? And then like when you do something I was like, I think it was like 32, three. Yeah, 31. >> That's way different. >> Yeah. Yeah. You And it's not even it's not old by any means, but you just could tell like the the level of what your body can handle. [clears throat] >> You see like a young guy that's in his 20s have like eight matches. You're like, "How the f███?" Yeah. Like >> who are you, dude? >> You know what's really cool about not being athletic? [laughter] >> You never know what your peak is, so you just keep progressing. >> Yeah. Yeah. when you're starting at the bottom. >> Keep going >> cuz you keep surpassing what you probably would have done in your 20s, but like I'm still better than when I
5:51 was 20. So, >> you did like Spartan races and stuff. >> That was probably one of my hardest. >> Spartan race is easy. >> Smoked it, huh? You literally ran a marathon. No training. >> That's crazy. >> That's actually crazy. >> That's ████ crazy. >> I think all So, like out of all the like dance ████ I've ever done, I thought this is my absolute like juicest. Like when all the tour shows that we did all like when I did the no training run a whole marathon that was like infinitely more destructive than anything I ever did. Yeah. If you want to find >> cuz you have to run into a CVS to get Tylenol >> more than anything I've ever even thought I could experience in the world. If you want to find your limit, your the thing Anony's talking about, >> I don't recommend doing that, but if you do that, you will find your limit. And you will and you will sit in that limit
6:41 for hours >> with no training, >> bro. >> No training marathon is insane. >> But I'm happy that I got to see what that was like cuz my biggest thing really was like um if I actually do this. I'm pretty ████ impressed that I would go that far to do something so ████ ████ >> When did you >> When did you feel cramps at mile? What? >> I think it was uh eight >> eight mile. >> Yeah. And then and then both of your legs were just ████ and you got to walk >> from the waist down just like or like from my thighs down swollen as ████ >> Yeah. >> And he just willed the rest of it, >> which is even crazier. >> I just like power walked on swollen ████ limbs whole way. I felt like my foot was going to bust out of my shoe. >> That's when people go to the medical tent. >> I could have the whole time. But the that's the thing, man. Like if I never
7:32 knew the limit. I thought I knew the limit all these times in dance because everything I ever did in dance, whether it was on TV shows or competition or or uh like like tour dates, I thought those were my limits and I'm like, damn, that was me at my limit. Oo, I hit my limit. It was ████ ages away. >> See, this is why I wish I shared my story right before him, cuz mine's probably was the dance TV show stuff.

[laughter] >> Are you serious? >> You know when your body aches are so ████ bad. >> THAT'S WHEN YOU PUSHED IT TO the lip. >> I could have swore as I was going.
9:13 >> You got wrapped up. It was like [laughter] and I'm just in my ████ robe and then they gave me my ████ my I got a bombas. >> Oh. >> And I was like healthy. >> This will help me feel better. >> Push it to the limit. >> I put it on the counter and you know when you use your last drop of energy, you can't even open on the spot. I had to like put it on the counter and go like this. [sighs] Just rest and then get scissors to cut it open. [laughter] >> Damn. Like an obese dude. That's pretty hard. >> That That was my limit. >> We're talking about pushing it to the limit by choice. >> That was I was pushed to the li together. >> I was like >> I was like ████ I wish someone could just feed me. [laughter] >> That's more to your limit than like your biggest PR in like deadlift. >> It feels like it. I don't know. [laughter] You ever see those memes
10:03 where it's like guys >> like no sleep, whatever. >> Yeah. >> 2 a.m. still go to the gym. And it's like guys with a cold and he's like >> that's [laughter] how I feel like. >> That's true. The minute I get a cold I'm like ah ████ I need a helmet. Holy ████ A helmet. [laughter] What the ████ >> Your safety hazard. >> Okay. Let me let me spare your brand. >> Okay. >> Would you today be able to handle more so boot camp or bodybuilding competition again? >> Yeah. The swords competition looked like that was your limit. >> Yeah. That's true. Oh yeah, you didn't eat for like a week. You weren't even sentient for you had ED and you couldn't ████ your brain. >> I would be able to do that easier than boot camp at 40 years old. >> Oh, boot camp would still be worse, huh? >> Cuz it's non-stop. You can't turn it
10:54 off. >> I could still like, oh, I'm not eating. Maybe I'll ████ watch some TV or like, you know, there's like a lot of like brain rot distractions you can do. >> There is none of that. It's imagine like it's training 24 hours a day. Every second of the day there's a thing you need to be doing. That's tough. There's no way. >> Yeah. And people are yelling. >> I'm too comfortable, dude. [laughter] >> So comfortable. >> ████ that. Why would you do that? >> You can't even eat without them yelling at you and rushing you. >> Yeah. Them yelling at your face is crazy. >> So, one of the things they'll do will be like ████ I don't I called it I don't even know the name of it, but it'll be called ████ tornado day or whatever, right? The drill instructors come out for ████ no reason comes and has all of us open our foot lockers, which is like this little box store ████ in it. They just ████ trash, throw everything together, whatever. And then
11:44 in 30 seconds, everyone has to sort their ████ And then that's what you live with for the week. So for the next week, I'm wearing your right shoe, your left shoe, you're wearing Nick's underwear. [laughter] All our s███'s ████ for the whole week. I'm like, I'm ████ 40 years old. I don't want to deal with that ████ If I go to a ████ store right now, they don't have my size. I'm leaving. [laughter] Like, I got to ████ deal with two left shoes and ████ >> Hey, can we go to your house and make tornado week? [laughter] >> Let's go, dude. >> Nuh-uh. >> You wear TA shoes. >> What was your crazy dance? >> Yeah. What's your What's your limit? >> It's not the same. This guy was like, "Yo, doing those dance TV shows." Which he like won and stuff. He's like, "Yeah, I thought that was my limit, but this was infinitely more." But honestly, people who win usually are working harder. [laughter] >> Hey, I'll give it to you, man. Quest
12:34 crew. >> Eight hours worth of rehearsals and all that. A long day. >> Crazier. ABDC is was >> That was ridiculous, though. >> Plus, like um what was like them returning as a season of champion. Somehow I was on that show and it was my first time and we were already like older. I was probably like 28, 29. Um and so we thought to ourselves, we're like, "All right, we got to like train and get ready for this show." So we did. Like we all our whole crew basically went like pescatarian. We were our warm-ups were long. Our our workouts you did all that >> were were intense. We were we were trying to get on the same page of physicality on a lot of different things so we can match each other. >> So we were like really training in a certain way. But the funny thing is when you actually get on the show so I think our auditions and we were I think that was when we were like we're good. But then when you get on the show that's when it becomes truly team no sleep. >> Yeah. and then like malnutrition and
13:25 like if you're really pushing it like that's why we're passed out in between every other take type stuff and if you're like also on like the director side of it when other people are resting you're like now working on the costumes you're working on the music you're working on all these other things so then you're really your body's just like by the time we finished the show we were like skeletons >> we had like no meat to our bones >> there's no food or catering or whatever or how does that work >> there's no time to eat it Yeah, >> bro. Like, as soon as we would get done, I would sleep in the parking lot for 2 and a half hours and come right back in. >> In your in your car? >> In Yeah. In my car. In the parking lot at Warner Brothers and then I would just come right back in the morning. We start working again. >> ████ >> Yeah. It was crazy. >> That's crazy. >> Which is why when we got to NBC World of Dance and we did that like a year or two later, there was 13 of us on our crew and all of us like were Asians. So, we started be cheating the system. And
14:15 anytime they wanted us to do extra shoots outside of our own designated stuff, we would only have 11 or 12 of us and then one or two of us would always just take a nap because they couldn't tell which agent was missing. >> Damn, that's a good hack. >> Rotate someone else to go get some rest >> except for like the core leaders. But >> that's a [laughter] good hack. >> We always had somebody taking it out cuz it was it was all ████ You know those pickup shots are all dumb. Everybody has to be full costume at like 8 in the morning and then you just sit around. You heard it. The whole game is hurry up and wait. Yeah. >> And then you're like, I could be eating right now or rehearsing or sleeping, but I'm just doing pickup shots to make another group look better for their story. >> Yeah. >> You're like, ████ this. >> That was crazy though because we were the fact that we're all in competition and we were all not sleeping was pretty cool. At least it was nice to see you guys were also ████ dying, too, >> cuz ABC was way crazy cuz you had to do
15:06 an opening week performance. So, you weren't just working on your own show. You always had to like do a joint show to open the show. And then sometimes you would have collaboration weeks and work on like separate other routines or sometimes you would have two shows in one week and it was just you were not sleeping. >> Yeah. There's nothing. And you had to perform every day like that was the best like like minute of your life. Like you had to you had to be on a game. So it was just like insane. They it wasn't a high budget program so they didn't provide like we didn't have rooms and ████ You know what I mean? They were just like all right come from home and then just figure it out. >> So they're casting specifically LA bas uh LA based people. Well, no, they're not. It just h so happens most of the people that won in the past are in and around LA, but then uh for uh for ABC the first time we did it, everyone we had hotel rooms and we lived literally next to the studio so that everything you did was revolving around the show.
15:56 But then here it's like no, live your life. Just be here at this time and then be ready for anything. It was kind of like unfair and that >> but the times are just like unrealistic for you [clears throat] to >> unrealistic. Unreal. Like that is the best way to put it. Yeah. Just unrealistic. They're like, "Yeah, make sure your show is ready and then make a second show cuz you're doing it twice." And then you uh Neo's coming, so we're going to have to make a piece with Neo. Like, no. ████ that ████ dude. We just didn't care. What an honor. >> We were almost going to revolt. We were like, "Hey, y'all want to get together and just be like, nah, we ain't doing these group pieces no more. [laughter] >> It's too much." >> Me and Mike were like, "Dude, let's ████ stand strong and just link arms." >> Nah, dude. Yeah, that's I could see why that would be a push. >> But no, I never did a marathon or anything gangster. Hey, do a ████ marathon. No prep. It'll make ABCDC feel like a picnic, dog. [laughter] >> Well, that's why I want to do it. To make ABCDC feel like a picnic. >> We would all do it together.
16:47 >> The place your mind goes. >> No training. No. >> The place your brain goes is insane. You just like start going into the cosmos. >> We should do a no training marathon. And we hold hands and we duct tape them. And we're not allowed to take the duct tape off until we're done. Can't we just all do acid and have our brains go into the cosmos? >> Yeah, we can do that. >> [laughter]
