0:00 [Music] welcome back to careful boys we have with us chad miyate in the hot seat you know what happens for hot tea right it gets extremely toasty but it starts very cold we ask you increasingly warm questions by the end you're going to be extremely uncomfortable and you won't want to answer any of them but for now we're going to keep it safe bart's going to start off with a very cold question super cold when it comes to your fabrics fabrics are you more of a uh iron type of guy or a steamer hmm that's a good one i normally steam i hold a shark steamer what do you have against irons nothing i use it for my suits steam for regular clothes [Music]

0:52 let's go how did you meet everybody here oh that's a good question i forgot [Laughter] what he knows over a long ass time like man i don't know do you at least remember you know the old the oldest longest year august oh because like we we did like videos even before australia didn't we i thought that he was on the base that was shot at we shot at a base right the military base oh do you remember qatar no here illegally it was it was awesome i can't remember when i just remember shooting with you guys and we shot like like a g6 and you guys were dancing and

1:43 freestyling and you had guns with nate nate when was damn wait how did you get up get joined that one he was important audience yeah bro remember we wanted periodics for the finale oh pull it up okay yeah that's crazy okay this is one of these moments yeah did you know you're on a basis illegally that was illegally yes a lot of us could have gotten mad trouble we broke into a military base to do that oh hey things that happened when you when they broke into it illegally yeah none of us were trying to get away i thought it was like what did you break today bring my old boss on next time and then you guys can ask them about it we got let in by a special key oh allegedly allegedly he just did this hey what's there 60 people watching this video

2:35 so you've noticed that video's got to be over 10 years old oh yeah so that's at least 10 years that was the uncle days yeah so you were just you were a background dancer while they were like doing or what yes okay because poor artists are always background dancers never to front of stage no we were on the tick tick tour that's sure then we brought them on our tour yeah oh no oh it was periodic's tour yeah yeah tic tac toy on their second floor on their second australia tour yeah is that the tour that was a hot disaster no the one after that okay because there's like our tour was dope we got paid too because people every influencer talks about that australian tour that was terrible it was after us after us okay thank god that's why they got blacklisted and it was a different crew that did it before they got blacklisted yes that other joy that went bad you guys had nothing to do that one no we got all the toys that were dope there you go

3:27 they tried to copy the tick tick tour it was a competitor or something so the same it wasn't the same crew that brought us out some other crew brought out tim and all these other people and they didn't pay them because you know youtubers back then they didn't do contracts they didn't do none of that they didn't we were the only ones that asked for half payment up front first right right smart yeah because we're like you gotta pay for the tickets but you gotta give us some spending money bro you know because of that disaster that's the reason why i never did a show in australia because it's just scary huh well there was two other shows after that that i was asked to be on same thing happened and i was like wow dodge the bullet because that was like the accent australian ladies is god damn beautiful and they're so fun yes and they love our accent why am i talking like this well you guys have an accent to them though that's why you guys are exotic love it we are exotic there's not

4:18 it's a great combination yes anyways i digress who can you smash in a battle all of them let's go no but i'm going to say that out of confidence yeah but no don't say that yes no wait out of honesty yeah stop being a chat is this your first time on jk news first time okay so uh if you were to explain this to joe aka your wife jolene uh how would you explain what jk news is no how would you explain who joe is we love each other let's go don't bring it over here we know each other she knows me you know julian hell yeah yeah before you guys oh what you got to say like that man i don't know no no no no no no that's a nice compliment i hope

5:08 somewhere out there someone's going hell yeah i know ryan it's so aggressive ryan someone knows me that hard that hard wait so is me yeah is me and bart the first people you've met or if you've met someone here before us we met i don't know when though actually i mean like i met you guys on abdc so it's like we did so we didn't know you before you guys were on abc you know i met you before abdc yeah yeah because like when i was on pacmodern yeah i met you when you were downtown pack yeah yeah wow you guys because because eris made out with my wife at the time so what what i love your ears we're just kidding yeah wait but you guys weren't dating no no we weren't dating we weren't dating this is before i was even you phrased it

5:59 very weird no that was my wife this is where you guys get into a fist fight that's so aries huh not surprised either well eris was making out with a lot of people exactly that's right it doesn't count oh my god who's heiress he's on quest and he would always make out with girls on dance teams yeah and he likes making out with a lot of women yeah sure and before i name eris dude yeah i want to trust him from the ghetto letter dude he's like what's your name my name is get the out of my face yeah you're sexy he sounds like a cologne already what are you an heiress too you yeah where are you dude what do you owe what laughs i like that question though how would you explain to your wife jk news oh love jk news you know what's funny i was listening to jk news when i moved to china for a year for

6:49 kinjas because like they sent me overseas to what for hot blood dancing no it wasn't that actually so as as you were representing ken just in china doing work for kinjaz yes i see uh no kind of sort of in a more professional way we have a partnership with a company in china called sino stage and then they needed a media person and chad was the best guy so in order to get somebody over there that both represented both entities kenz and simon stage he was literally not only the only but the best representation and we asked him fairly it's like hey true this is like a 10 month plus job and i remember asking him that and i was like if you go you're gonna go for like a year and he was like i'm down so i was like that well you were in china so he was doing media for our sister company silent stage it wasn't you are going for kenja

7:39 you basically did what i just did yeah you got to get the semantics straight you speak a little cantonese or mandarin oh a little bit oh did you learn wow that's pretty good that was horrible i'm sorry did you learn that there yes i learned that that was my go-to saying like i'm sorry my chinese is really bad hey why don't you speak a little cantonese you ching chong i could only say uh my middle name and then bart was like that's not even that good otherwise they don't like that hey rule that would be the worst form of whatever you could say but continue i that's the crazy thing is that i can't even say anything in

8:30 mandarin say anything in spanish pasadena [Laughter] you know what that means it means like chinese chinese japanese you can't see me eat that's what kids used to sing yeah they used to say that to me at school too but it sounds so beautiful let's get straight to it uh if you had to kick somebody out of poriads who would it be myself you're so safe this is a horrible one because i was the last edition i was i was a substitute for like wow so there was the original five and then they had a sixth person from san diego who was like the

9:20 lost periodics not to be named because he was just like a random guy name him his name is robert robert you're cool but then he's from san diego so then he was never around and then jet li went to korea to just be korean because he loved korean girls and then he does that thing there that's why he went i love you hey hot seat baby i ain't lying best hot seat baby giving the truth out okay so then it was like so then i was on this dance i was on this pack modern long beach collegiate dance team with like the other half of periodics and they're like we need a substitute and then they brought me on for like these like little gigs and we started winning first place at all of them and then they brought me on to this like olympic thing or like or hip-hop international where it's like usa versus the world and then we won and you're like all right you could stay i was like

10:10 sick and then from there that's how america's best dance who recruited us wow so you're not the worst member you're actually the reason why they call me the lucky charm even though i'm the worst dancer you really feel like you're the worst dancer i was the worst i was only dancing for two years at that time oh the most likely experience in general in this capacity is very uh subjective in the explanation i think there's also like chad was one of the best people to memorize counts formation be on time you know what i mean a whole different caliber of what it makes to be a professional dancer dancing well as a physicality is different from being a professional dancer i think chad's very professional i agree as a dancer i like to say that i'm a really good dancer but i don't have those i pull up like a g6 i don't know those those those i can't work in a group i'm more of a superstar but i want to ask a kenja

11:00 question if he sucked as a dancer so hard why did you choose to bring him in your crew cause kingdoms is more about great people i don't want to be a part of it that was literally the greatest thing you've ever said about cancer thank you thank you but uh but but when did that conversation come into play because you're part of periodics right yes and then this is the part of i'm very against in the dance community the switching sides the hood hopping the the orgy of dance members and different crews disgusts him oh like i just squad it's just loyalty right it happens in the dance world it's a disease but it's a disease the olympics are horrible he's so passionate all-star team is horrible and it's horrible but also games are horrible today's video is brought to you by audible you know what i've been listening to uh audiobook wise oh yeah yeah i've been

11:51 listening to scars and stripes so it's written by my good friend tim kennedy and he's actually really nice he told me that um i'm his favorite second favorite asian on this planet oh so who's this first so this is cool this is actually a he hatch he actually has an adopted asian brother talks about but anyways what's really cool is he came out with a book called scars and stripes and is about like his upbringing and um he sent me the book and i could read it but actually listening to it was way better because i hear the entire story in his voice oh so he's reading it yeah it's his voice you can hear his emotions so there's like so much more to the book now than versus just reading it in text and what i'm imagining what he's going through you know so it's super cool and that's why i actually really enjoy audiobooks like in addition to how convenient it is and you know my

12:42 drives from vegas or whatever i can pound through a bunch of books but also being able to hear it from the author's perspective is super cool that's true and if you're a audio learner such as i i do have a lot of books but it's much more harder for me to actually dedicate the time to sit there and read and make notes and do all that stuff so when you're on the go and you want all this other stuff to like so when you're on the go and you want all of these books that you want to catch up on or whatever it is audible is the awesome place to do that and aside from books they have a lot of other things too they have entertainment they have audible originals they have many many things outside of just books so let audible help you discover new ways to laugh be inspired or be entertained new members can try it free for 30 days visit audible.com off the record or text off the record to 500 500 that's audible.com

14:25 worse so he sucks now no but he's still great he's actually better now going better now yeah what was wrong with him we get through this story in like 15 seconds so we can move on to juicing okay at the end of the day everybody needs to recognize that also me and chad were dancing on another crew a non-profit called cold shock los angeles together for many years nonprofit it's different you can go to your high school and still be a part of boys and girls club free hood i get it so chad myself and la duvera were dancing together constantly and we would do in our own way all the time so because we were dancing together it was kind of like regardless of crews it was like yo we already rocked together kendricks was never like a one team or nothing it was always like you you give what you want from it and like blah blah blah that's it he doesn't like it cool let's move on he's skeptical look at joe

15:16 right now dude you're able to move like anthony very well yeah he's one of the greatest movers that i know it's not just my style but in general make money have you ever have you ever been doing a dance that he taught and you were like i don't really like it but i have to do it anyway you're like he just does too much iso obviously the answer is yes honestly i'm already team isil i came from a team that's all robotics and but what about all the emotional song choices he likes this i'm a scorpio so we're naturally freaked out emotional so i was like i vibed with everything anthony was doing chad's a good boy huh thank you hawk thank you me too foul dude no i mean means everything this means headlines and this means it was made to tour tick

16:06 tick toy so many friendships memories and things happened from that tour and they're still there i'm still friends with everybody there victor's on skinny oh bald joe joe you look like you just got out of prison dude i'm kidding dude you look racist yeah white people it's american history is this you know what the funniest thing is so there was like this uh music video that uh is that can uh yeah so yeah i literally thought uh dumbo was a girl for the longest time and i remember i talked to jeff that guy on the left i was like it's really progressive that you guys have of one female member jet started cracking the up no

16:56 you're not bullshitting me you swear to god i legit thought he was a girl so like and it was really interesting because he was wearing a tank top i was like yo let's go kind of free dude so i was tripping the out this girl kind of freaked out no girl definitely not a girl this is not a joke i legit and then you know i think it's his wife now right they were making out on set and i was like dude had a lesbian this kind of hot and i was like yo this is hot as yeah and then my mind went and then he jacked up the dumbo that night yeah dude yeah i was legit shocked that was one of the most embarrassing moments for me ever when i'm literally talking to somebody that's his close friend and i'm like dude man really progressive man you guys have one female member and he starts busting up laughing and he's was like i already know who you're talking about i

17:47 was like what do you mean i didn't get what he was laughing about i was like what are you talking about i'm like holy that tank top skinny girl he's a boy i love how it's not even just pictures of videos it's like you're still seeing them in real life and making that assumption this is a bold skinny girl good for you yeah well it wasn't this one it was a tour before where cannes dick story happened yeah his kickstarter the big black chocolate cake more context to that which is probably why he got more embarrassed from that love you can is because like we were at a club and we were judging a bunch of like go go dancer girls that were dressed it was like towards halloween wearing like nurse outfits and like they were just like a bunch of hot girls and they were just like walking down a catwalk we're all judging them and then

18:38 like that's when the cake came out and then we saying happy birthday can so it's more embarrassing in front of the girl a hundred percent wait what happened he nodded he jumped his face in the cake and now now he hates chocolate forever yeah wait really for real because of that oh yeah because he was on like mushrooms or something so he had a massive bad trip wow can't get over it chocolate's great don't demonize chocolate the positive the positive part though is black dicks are perfectly fine because the shape of a black dick cake is completely fine no bias toward that but chocolate okay because it's pushed into chocolate cake there's a chocolate dick cake chocolate and he doesn't like chocolate because of that because of that yeah he got but now he likes dick yes [Laughter]

19:32 i used to love chocolate i hated dick but now so on cam's embarrassing moment right have you ever had anything like that like that you're just like oh god this is crazy and i just can't get over it cause you're on the hot seat we gotta let we gotta know yes yeah it's gotta be on yeah yeah we know about cans this has been the best diversion of hot seat from the gas though yeah it's been about everybody else except the kids i know we haven't heard much of your stuff hey welcome to me i know he's really good at that because i observe what's the worst thing that happened within periodics worst thing that happened within the team yeah within the

20:23 team i just like the way he said periodic takes i never heard it like that before are you trying to after this bro let's go dude it's too sexy yeah i mean other than like the group semi breaking up into not semi breaking up like couple members that had to leave and then us picking up new members and like figuring it out and becoming like and keep going and yeah so what's that what's that experience like right because there's a certain chemistry when you have a certain group and you're trying to bring other people in how do you work that i mean at least like when we were picking up other people we were trying to pick up people that we were dancing with on like other teams or like that we knew beforehand or that were cool guys that could possibly even move like us or that would vibe with the squad so that's what we did like we picked the people that we knew and then speaking of which hot take hot

21:14 take hot tea when you guys were voting on me how did you vote well yeah because because like you were about to join you were supposed to be on friday if you didn't know anthony performed a few times with periodics a few times you're like four feet taller than everybody in the group that's that's one of the main reasons why he didn't make it on the spot you would stand out john that's true everybody was four feet tall and anthony was seven foot houses look the same stew what do you think is that the same touch that's true we're out here [Music]

22:11 yeah it's funny because like when we were in rehearsal over anthony like i said everyone was like four foot tall so then i was like right anthony you gotta get you gotta squat yeah take a seat anthony yeah but i love you was that one of the main reasons why he didn't make the cut to pour y'all that was one of the main revenge story where you said well you then i'm going to be a king john you get smaller so yeah that was one of the main things i was like we were all rehearsing at quest dance center which is where these are from where they know the trademark that was very disloyal by the way you didn't have your own dance group you might as well go all the way i know right me or anthony i mean why would you practice at the quest center when you were poreiatic like because we didn't because we didn't have a periodic center well you had my living room that's what he's bitter about do you want us to practice hey just answer the question what was your vote

23:01 yeah oh my vote was hell yeah anthony should be it and then i got vaped wait wait go back other other let's go back let's go back real quick and finish up that story because i want to know what i've been you're about to vote for you to be on jk news for years to ask this question i am yeah i'll tell you this i remember um so i was in i think i was in italy with charles yes i was in italy charles we had performed a few times charles was uh lobbying for me to join the crew because it was like kind of like a disconcerting time your guys management had you all over again again there was like a lot of blah blah but i had enjoyed dancing with half y'all post tick tick because like it was all cool so that's why you were recruiting now i

23:51 remember i remember i was like uh we gotta we got a dtr we gotta define the relationship so they had a whole conversation about me right and i remember it was la de vera who's also king just love you love he was the one who broke the news and he pretty much said that like yo uh a lot of has happened to periodics and right now instead of bringing in new people finding out something new we gotta rework everything that had happened and find ourselves before we can add somebody else yep which is true and i was like that's very respectable so then after i was like cool and not preaching then i was like let me go full force with kendra's and then bring charles over to you guys and chad and chad and law yeah dan you're a genius [Applause] [Laughter]

24:44 you shall not pause so did just tell us this did any of the people that voted against him end up in king's no there's your answer oh i never made that call consciously and it's never fully up to me it's never fully okay but you felt it you want the truth of kendra's i never make a decision about myself on who joins the crew i can never do that it's never allowed sorry dumbo [Laughter] yeah that's what you get for wearing tank tops and seducing me

25:38 you
