0:00 how about a pizza party that's back to your silly goose time that's what I was like yeah oh that's time dude you should do a pizza party but just buy one pizza [Laughter] [Music] all right we need to talk about this road to 2 million if we get there YouTube Subs I'm talking if we get to 2 million what are we gonna do to celebrate we all look at Bart the fans have like so many different suggestions but I want to know without knowing any of those what would you feel like doing well one of the things we're talking about in the chat that I thought was pretty cool was the whole meet and Miss idea he wanted to do a mobile meet and greet I wanted to do a meet and greet where like we're on a double decker bus and then we're like we'll meet you guys here at this time right and then so all the fans show up and then we show up on

0:50 double decker bus and then I'm like all right try to catch us and then we just slowly drive away that's like the uh parades when you win the championship you know like the Warriors driving through San Francisco Steph Curry's just like this Hammer drunk Clay Thompson's ████ tripping on him with the ████ trophy you know there's one player with his shirt off that'll be Bart yeah you want a parade a silly goose time silly goose time what let me let me uh tell you some suggestions that people actually want right it's like these are terrible ideas I'm gonna get to them let me let me think of these I think uh some people wanted uh JK to do a classic like JK party and play Mafia and do all the games and ████ oh

1:40 cool relive the past that's wholesome that's very important of course that's cool but it's like that's affordable yeah more than the double decker bust double decker bus I like Adventures so like let's say we like I don't know Mafia in the woods yeah right and then we're in the middle of the ocean and then we let people know what the GPS coordinates are and they get to rent jet skis and then meet us over there so that sounds scary that sounds like a dumb good idea jet skis it's still a meat and Miss but on the water everybody ready jet skis meet us here at these coordinates as we bounce bone out as we fly over people don't even know how to read coordinates I think it's an overestimation on how many people have jet skis but that's just you just rent them for like 20 bucks an hour or something right no way it's 20 bucks

2:31 that's not 20. inflation at the beach they're like 60 70 I think at the beach because it's more maintenance and on a lake they're cheaper but on the beach they're they're more we're gonna go lake Lake Mead then what's our uh YouTube analytics for regional subscribers like what areas what countries are like the highest subscribe probably past the US what if it was Haiti Oh you mean the second to us yeah second to us and stuff like that am I invited on this ████ yeah I know are you invited yeah let's just leave now let's just do our own thing back here we need you guys to like help us think because we're too ████ close to like figure it out I like work I think that's nice for saying no you're not necessarily invited but we need people thank you I think you go down the list of analytics where Anthony's going here and you choose like the city that's biggest on the list not the smallest in the world right keep going no you know

3:22 what I mean like because Paris is going to be top five you don't go to Paris but if like there's some random one that sneaks into the top 20 go there and throw a party like Lake Paris yeah yeah all right so U.S is roughly 55 of the viewership second to that's Canada and then after that's UK Canada I'm like wait so it's only the people that understand English probably uh most of the US is in California too okay yeah is there like a cool city in in the U.S you know a little sneaky boss Summerlin very cool to get a boat in the UK in England and then have them have people the the British people meet you in the channel the channel or on the teams that can work that'd be nice I don't think he's decided about it how about a pizza party that's back to your silly goose time that's what I was like yeah I'm speaking Bart now one of these OG San Gabriel yeah all

4:15 Park yeah and we'll just buy a stack of Costco pizza nice pizza party yeah oh that's time dude you should do a pizza party but just buy one pizza [Laughter] we just come in here when we hit two Milli just everybody bringing like a weapon of choice and we just destroy and demolish what we can and rebuild um just rip ████ off the walls ████ talk okay it's just like a spear who the ████ comes with a spear that'd be so inefficient the arcade you like games why in the ████ would you go for the one thing that hasn't even been here that long can I bet a dollar can I just want a dollar if someone's gonna get stabbed oh probably we'll take that bed I'm ████ ripping Bart's

5:06 painting off no no no no no no no no I'm gonna do that just spear right through the ████ eyes yeah it took me like four hours did you think about it for a long time I've been dreaming about it since it was like three it's like one goes like this one goes like that I was trying to make the color smooth and I couldn't I think smooth is the exact opposite word I would use for that yeah so it goes India then Australia are the last two you got to go to India India would ████ be gangster dude go to India you got to go to India let's go film a couple episodes yeah we create that no I don't want to be invited ████ down I heard a sketch I heard it smells like ████ oh you get used to it number one number two depends where you go right right I guarantee though ████ our Indian fans will pull up I

5:57 can show you a place two blocks here that smells like ████ it's on two blocks that's pretty good I mean all of Chinatown smells like ████ over here don't matter dude the food will be good the fans will be great that's all that matters it is it is gonna be ████ bad we do a pizza partying in Mumbai and have what by Wednesday Curry Pizza bring some Costco what else you know what I mean bring Costco Kirkland Signature to India yeah my boy got the teas okay so so obviously we're not going there because Bart doesn't like the smell I've got to go to smelly places Mr stinky tofu that's close enough yeah so what other things could we do at two mil in terms of content yes yeah what did some fans say uh well the party is one uh they want all some fans want to bring back old JK and then have some thing where we compete against old JK versus

6:47 new JK with weapons this is this is where they need to start going to fan fiction where they start writing it because I think the fans also need to be practical about what we're gonna is that impractical to bring back just a bunch of people that might have like ever so slight animosity towards us [Laughter] yeah that's actually a great idea I love being uncomfortable for viewership yeah but if we have one task like rebuild the office or destroy the office maybe it's cathartic for them too oh that's true yeah common enemy yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and Bartell we're like waiting to fix it we're like hurry up guys come on you could feed them by one pizza

7:38 stupid what do you guys celebrate normally like I don't celebrate birthdays no just I mean like as a human even you know let me show you this thing we don't have much to celebrate this guy's busting a joke no I mean in your lives because like some people celebrate you know like oh my God yeah oh my God it's our sixth month you got a car wash I'm so proud of you ████ like that this is how bad we are at celebrating pop that right now then so we got this bottle of crisp so we had a uh an intern didn't wasn't the the what is the term the sharpest tool in the shed he's stupid okay she's stupid yeah and then we needed a bottle of crystal for a shoot and then um I don't know why this is during the time where we don't have very many budgets she spent like 300 on this

8:28 yes real Christa yeah we're like oh is that how much that is buy it you never watch the Jay-Z music yeah we could have did something else but she bought it and we only had maybe 500 bucks in the bank account or something so it was a good deal we got stuck with this and then we're like you know what when we hit I think a million subscribers or something we're gonna pop it and this is back in 2004 as you can see I don't know if champagne's will last very long it doesn't last over a year maybe maybe two so it gets better it might be rotten and we've never popped it because I think once we hit that marker we didn't even care though they're probably no bubbles you didn't care it'll taste it'll taste like shame but there'll be no bugs like me and Joe never really celebrated birthdays or you know just even personal celebrations so why the ████ are we shooting this video I think because you guys are here Angel our Asperger robots oh okay so we're humanizing the channel a little yeah you guys do have Asperger's oh no

9:18 we do so you need us and one pizza please dude the dancers are saving the channel dude honestly don't say that Steve's not gonna like it Steve said it the other day he did he did say that ████ yeah he goes he goes ████ the dancers are saving the channel he's in like that no way he didn't say that all right you know what we're gonna do we're just gonna go on JK live right now and IG and they're gonna tell us right now anybody give the suggestions on how you think we should celebrate 2 million followers we just have every guest that came in in the last two years all at one time but just let them know no pay are we really on track to getting there because we've been going down and then we

10:09 started coming back up this year which is really cool thank you guys and are we on track to catch to go to get in there yeah okay we're at 1.88 right now wow and it's gone up about 10 to 20K per day in the last uh five days wow you guys are awesome it's the Yankee Yak huh yeah The Tick Tock be bumping it's a tick tock and the YouTube shorts yeah so we need to figure out what we're gonna do celebrate because everyone's expecting something really cool oh another another idea that someone had suggested was uh they wanted to do something where we we picked our favorite guests that we've had on the show since New Era and we make them do it episode but none of us are here it's just each if I don't get invited I'm taking that first it's like six of the best guests that we've ever had yeah and then their show is so much better that

10:59 they're like hey can we just keep them these guests are dope yeah I'm not down for this one because I'm a little insecure okay it finally achieves perfect diversity I'm on bar space oh we're being a little overzealous should we do this video at like 1.99 or something like that you know because we're about to hit a recession people might start canceling their YouTube accounts I don't know yeah YouTube Alex [Laughter] a subscription and cutbacks yeah man it's it's interesting because I think we could do something pretty fun audio's not working they're saying oh wow thank you Ken

11:49 wow so we need to figure it out two million what do we do I saw some of the comments say that they want uh they want like Bart and Joe and them to like do a dance routine oh no I saw that too I ignored those because I don't that's because you're you're because of dancing in life no are you talking about you so you have like a big enough meet and greet or something and then oh ████ come up to you and ████ them yeah I don't think we're that big but if you got those fears I feel you I think so there's some SoundCloud rapper I don't know how big he is or his name but uh so one of my best friends and my roommate uh owns a security company they haven't come they have Dan come Glock up okay it's a charity event to be fair I think people in the rap game though that's different that's a little bit but you guys do say some crazy ████ yeah I would feel comfortable Dan would do it Dan would do it for free

12:40 that's cool let's have him around yeah we need some security for all like three people on jet skis that show up in the middle of the ocean [Laughter] [Music] I guess we're not really good at coming up with ideas let's go skydiving guys oh do you want to go Sky to jump out of the plane I did is this scary you'll be fine I think I'm too heavy what yeah you too swole no you could be what is it what's the total I thought it was 220. you might be 40 because you always have to be a tandem yeah that's true yeah ain't nobody trying to hold on to those fat asses how much are you got 220 more for the sake of jumping on an airplane I am give me a week I'll be 222. yeah you gotta you gotta cut weight for this yeah I got a big old dumpy you'll be pushing into the guy behind me yeah it's gonna be uncomfortable for all of us he's going to be boned up dude for sure just

13:30 brick fall sounds like for the most part people just want something to do with like to see more people together in one room that we've had over time so what if we do like a what if we do like a nine-man thing we get like because last time the fans really liked when we had like an extra person at each table yeah that's one of the most favorite things is the nine-man chaos yeah but then we we fill it up with you know good friends of the show and we just be but that's a dope ass idea yeah do you guys want more of a live thing or just more content thing you know to be fair I think if as a fan though as well when you're talking about something like 2 million you're talking about not like a moment like just just January if we hit it you're talking about like since the beginning that you started to get there you're talking about some of the fans that are there

14:21 are people that were in the the 10 000 subscribers so I might be really interested like oh this is a huge Landmark can I see uh like the uncles come back yeah oh not necessarily go produce a ████ skit like dedicated to me but like you know maybe we get some elgos out and we like have a little party I would love to see some old cast members you know what I mean that were ████ safe animosity members the ones that still love us type ████ you know Julia just remember I didn't do ████ you know I was a nice guy to everybody just saying that on record but um OTR um but realistically you know I'm thinking about like the history of JK and the things that I fell in love with and being able to see a little bit of that if it's not here today in the current you know what I'm saying I thought that would be cool if we did some sort of like that's what I was thinking maybe live like an auditorium type setting and then maybe we can have some of the like cut up uh

15:11 uh the more condensed content that we've been having we could screen and watch it live and laugh together and then if we can have a panel of all the people and we can like have a big one you might be able to record live like that yeah that might be you could literally do this at an auditorium yeah yeah that might be kind of cool oh dang we can't edit ████ out though I don't never say anything that I don't mean [Laughter] they want us to throw a wet fish at Anthony why I love that guy who's that you remember when you were saying like do you guys get afraid of getting stuck this is how it ████ starts guys it starts with a wet fish next thing you know it's a ████ knife you know what I mean you better watch out yeah I like that guy somebody said do a campfire uh episode that's kind of cute like we're just like it's just us around a campfire doing the same thing that's kind of

16:01 wholesome a cat a camping episode oh ████ that's a cool idea or they're saying do it but make it live so people can stream it that's kind of interesting yeah even a live episode that's pretty cool oh yeah it doesn't have to be a live event but I think a lot of aren't all fish wet that's like you still love that yeah that's actually a good idea like a live one yeah you just go live on the tubes yeah that might be a good idea that's pretty cool it's a wild show with a bunch of ████ peeps in there why don't you guys go paintballing with like like select fans that want to shoot us in the face yeah yeah I'm sending that one out for sure we're like these before just make sure they don't freeze the paintballs yeah you know I don't know if that sounds that fun park gets his eyes are real small that

16:52 means he's skeptical dude you can take prisoners you know it could be that kind of paintball they said go to Hawaii hey that's pretty cool yeah and then just what just like I'm here you guys should go to Hawaii eat some Spanish and that's how you celebrate okay and then wash it down with some matcha Joe's maybe I'm also trying to kill two birds one stone but maybe we could like auction off some of this ████ that we need to get rid of here to like fans and maybe half of it goes to charity but half of it really goes to rent and the rest of our pay cut you know what I mean but you know what I'm saying we got to get rid of some ████ here anyway we got liquidase recession there's a bunch of really really cool paraphernalia that belongs to expired champagne maybe no no bubbles that's dope it's got a story behind it you know what I'm saying actually you know what you and Joe should sign it and just keep it as like a Memento because opening is going to be pointless yeah right you should just sign it or selling it for 50 bucks it's

17:42 gonna have a point it's already because the bubbles are gone so you care I love my champagne you can drink it it'll be flat you know it'll be flat flat Crystal the amount of ████ texture in here that should just be sold oh yeah I'm just you guys can find memory sign memory cards like digital cards that would be pretty cool if when when we redo like uh let's say you hit the two million Mark then you we have to redo the place but in doing so we do auction or give away certain key like things that are sitting around do yeah if you guys have you know those digital clocks you have a whole bunch of them you you and Joe should take a topless photo and hide it in one of them and then like sign all of them and then have people auction them you know like auction them buy them and then one lucky fan will get a topless photo of you and Joe whoa what about a JK calendar just just let you know Bart's topless in almost every ████ shoot so uh

18:33 so is Joe sometimes Joe's more topless than I am really his nips are always out that guy's wearing the ████ fur coat with no shirt underneath you're wearing nothing with no shirt no I hook up with shirt on different photos on each card because that's what K-pop CDs do they have like daily Unique Images on in each package yeah it could be like a song you guys wrote a song and sing this like make a music video on one album full of Music see it's perfect it'll be hidden in each card now we released it but I don't know if we did a good job promoting it's called Uh special feelings have you heard of the tracks from there no it sounds like a banger though it's crazy I went to the club they didn't play it

19:23 people are asking for a skit oh wow what are the likelihood of doing another skip are you so sick of skits at this point you mean like yeah like that I love shooting skits with like throwback elements from like old ████ I just gotta know like my tattoos maybe oh you're gonna cry let's comment that I like the topless I like the skits too it's just the uh it's like one of those things there's so much pressure on the thing yeah that skin has to be perfect or else I'm not gonna feel happy with it and I know just with the constraints it's not going to be it would be like a bad YouTube Rewind potentially yeah yeah you know the best way the best way to alleviate the best

20:13 way to leave you that pressure is have uh people you trust someone else write it and you guys don't write it that way if it doesn't work out you're like well you know what I'm sorry but I didn't write it yeah you just blame it on Stephen that's the best way on your two Milli back to the skits thing that all the fans have been waiting for forever you're just like oh man it wasn't good but he wrote it yeah sorry guys once we wrote that one so who wrote it that's why it's all sad and ████ romantic and ████ hey I do I do kind of like the idea of live taping though a lot of people are agreeing with that campfire thing maybe you do the campfire thing combined with the life are you doing a Parks type deal a little outdoorsy just don't play guitar you guys can sing songs okay oh we got some guitars yeah we could do that like a special episode where it's kind of this just this but like a little bit heightened yeah it'd be kind of cool that seems appropriate okay or we just get ████ drunk and just keep on

21:03 shooting the next day like it wasn't a big deal and everything goes all ████ normal and thanks anyways yeah but then we can't get the deposit back with the double decker oh ████ yeah we'll party we'll see you guys at 2 million in the middle of the ocean meet and leave what'd you call it me Miss he's called me because not everybody's gonna get it thank you
