0:00 We're both peeing, holding our dicks, and I'm like, I'm a really big fan. He looks He's like, "All right." AND I'M LIKE, "F███, WHY DID I SAY THAT?" >> And welcome back to another episode of the Careful Boys. We're lucky to have Chris Hosa back in here with us, y'all. >> Come on. Come on. >> You just told this really, really cool story, the cool part of the story. Yes, sir. uh about De Chappelle like um you know seeing seeing the Dominican usher and then you run into him backstage at this event and then him just being like you got it bad and it's like he like >> knows number one you exist and number two laughed as his ass off probably and so that's funny ████ he's seen on the internet. >> Hell yeah. >> Would you say he's like the goat of your industry or at least for you? >> Oh man. I mean yeah I would definitely say that he's he's definitely goated for sure. You know what I mean? I I personally like okay like I understand
0:51 that he deserves to be on that Mount Rushmore and rightfully so. You know what I mean? I like a Bill Burr as well. I like a Sebastian Mosscalco. You know what I mean? Um >> this is your Mount Rushmore specific like Well, no not even that. This is like this is like a today's like you know what I mean? My >> or like comedy's Mount Rushmore. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> I'm saying like yours like what what was >> mine? Mine is like your alltime number one. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So my all time is uh like Eddie Murphy, uh Jamie Fox, Martin Lawrence, um Dan Cook, early you know early 2000s Dan Cook, even though I still even top 10 was >> Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But this is just you as for mine, you know what I mean? Like the people that I that I like and love are those who are um very animated. Uh uh um the actouts are crazy, do a lot of character work, you know what I'm saying? Um so yeah, like a Jamie Fox or a Martin Lawrence. Like that's like my style, you know what I
1:41 mean? That's why I like a Sebastian Mosscoo. He's very physical, you know, I mean, animated. So, that's like that's what I implement into my comedy, you know. I mean, Dave has a crazy pin game. Like, he's an amazing writer. He's amazing comedian. Like, all that, you know, I mean, he has good acts, too, but I'm more the physical, you know what I mean? Like, I like to really like use my body, use the whole stage. Yeah. Mhm. >> I I asked that because I'm like I'm curious in your guys' respective industries and or field, who would be like a GOAT person in your game that if they had recognized or noticed you or said that you're really good at what you do, you would take that to heart? >> Like a tea master or something for me? I don't >> master like Bob went up to you like, "Yo, >> I see you, Joe." >> Who was it? >> We're enemies, but >> Bob's like, "Hey, dude. Keep going, man. You almost got it." But even even during like JK film days, who was it that recognized y'all's skits that was like,
2:31 "No way." They just >> Wesley Snipes. >> No. No. So, our I think our biggest moment our our biggest moment with JK is when we auditioned for In Living Color when they're bringing that back and then to make Keenan weighins laugh in front of his family. I think that was that was like a high that probably me and Joe felt for like at least a year. They chose both of us and I was like that's like back then it's like you can't have two Asians. One is already too much. But it's like >> we were both selected to be on um in Living Color. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> I was like dang that's crazy. That means we're going to like there's two Asians. That's never happened before. >> Yeah. For Yeah. Like a Bobby Lee from Matt TV. Like Yeah. Yeah. But damn that's fire bro. >> That's probably >> And and y'all were actually like they like they were in the room and y'all had them cracking. >> Yeah. So, it was uh it was an open casting call. It was one of those where
3:21 like you go I think it was like a like comedian days with standup comics, YouTubers, improv. Everyone just goes and so we saw a lot of the same people that we would see at like comedy shows or whatever. Oh, okay. This is like cuz usually, you know, they have like a cat like a type day, >> Asian day or white day or whatever, but it was like a comedian day. And then so we're like, okay, cool. And then we just finished the show coming back from the east coast and we got like three scripts we had to memorize for the audition and me and like ████ how the ████ are we going to memorize this ████ for the audition the next day. So on on the plane we're ████ cramming cramming cramming cramming. We're like ████ I don't know how much we can and they're old like uh Matt TV sites. So we we we read them like oh remember this this sketch. >> We go there the ████ casting director comes out and then she was like we're actually gonna scrap all that. We're just gonna do You're just gonna do uh like a minute or two of just improv.
4:12 >> And we're like, "Oh ████ ████ yeah. ████ this ████ script." So we could >> Oh, you were hype about it. >> We're hype. No, we're hyp. Cuz then that's what we we >> like improv. >> Like improv. We like character work, you know? So now we're all the comedians, you could just kind of see them like in the corner like, "Oh no, I need a script." >> Like everyone's just working on their own ████ you know? Yeah. >> And then I go in the bathroom to go pee and then I see uh Keenan Ways come and he takes a piss next to me and I'm like it's kind of kind of like in that like like little guy in a giant moment. I was like we're both peeing holding our dicks and I'm like >> I'm a really big fan. He looks he's like all right. AND I'M LIKE ████ WHY DID I SAY THAT? YOU SON OF A ████ ████ And then he goes and he leaves you know cuz then the whole time you're just like you're like this and you're just like these little these little YouTubers in a giant Hollywood world. That's what it felt like. >> Yeah. And then yeah, they called us in
5:02 one by one and then you would see the room get smaller cuz after everyone does their audition, they all leave and then I forgot if Joe went first or I went first. But then yeah, it was him and they're trying to do they're trying to bring back in Living Color to be like a four quadrant show, right? Like ████ old people, young people, ████ guy, girl, whatever. So he had his whole family to test. >> So like little kid that was like five, teen, I think his wife, whatever, just sitting there like just go. So you have like I don't know it was like 60 seconds or maybe uh >> five minutes to just go off. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And then so we both went and then we're like ████ I don't know how that went >> and y'all went individually >> individually >> by ourselves and then there was a casting director there and then like in Yeah. They're just like oh you have any characters or whatever and I was like yeah I got this one this one this one and I would just go off. >> What was the characters you went with? >> It's the ones that we were using on our JK films. We had like Asian ones, Mexican ones, whatever. Yeah. White
5:53 ones. >> No, I know the characters. That's what I'm wanting to know. >> Mr. Peterson. >> Hell yeah. >> I made up like a random story >> where all the characters had to talk to each other and it ended with I think the white guy telling him to get the ████ out of my country. >> So it was like some Asian guy doing something that the white guy like, "Get the hell out of my goddamn country." And they was like, "Why you talk to me like that?" And then you So it was just like just talking to yourself for like a whole minute and you don't even know like you're just being schizophrenic. >> Yeah. Just being schizophrenic going like this. And I'm like ████ I hope this ████ works. But then like the next week we got like, "Oh, they want both of you to come back for the screen testing." >> Tired, bro. >> First time we started getting plugged into the Hollywood system cuz then out of nowhere, no one has our ████ number. >> CA gets a hold of our phone. WME gets a like agents just start calling out of nowhere. We need to set up these
6:43 meetings. ████ lawyers. We got the Fox has a contract. We're like, what? How do people get our ████ number? It's crazy. And we started doing like this whole like agent, lawyer, manager tour. And it was like it was just insane. >> Holy ████ >> They want you. If Hollywood wants you, they'll find you like that. It was it was crazy. >> So is that something that like now I mean obviously you guys are incredibly successful in y'all in y'all's lane and stuff like that. But in that moment, I'm sure or I guess I asked like is that how we all like this is it? Like we're we we make it like we're we're we're in >> until they gave us the contract. So the contract was sick. It was from Fox. It was like guaranteed like 11 or 13 episodes. 30 G's per episode. So, we're like, "Oh." And this is like ████ what is this like 2000 >> adjusted for inflation >> 10 12 or whatever. I'm like 30 G's. We're like this is crazy per episode.
7:35 And then at the bottom it says non-compete must shut down YouTube channel. And that's when we're like wait what the ████ You want us to shut down our YouTube channel that makes 5Gs a month? And then but for us, we saw like the long game, you know, we're like, >> we're like, ████ that's crazy. But we have full control. And then what was crazy is, uh, we were like kind of at the split in the road, like, do we make 300 G's in 6 months >> or do we hold on to this baby YouTube channel that potentially has, you know, other growth? We talked to the casting director like, dude, we really don't know what to do. And so she passed like pretty much our gripe and message on to Keenan Ways and you know them they own the rights to everything they've ever done. The whole Wayne's family. >> So he was like he replied back if you
8:25 can't hold on to your own ████ don't ever say yes. >> So we we took that as like okay >> respect >> respect cuz that's cuz at the end of the day >> yes you want to make it in Hollywood. Yes you you know you want to like make it big but business is business. You have to own your ████ So, I think that was one of the deciding factors. We're like, you know what? We're going to have to say no to this crazy ass contract. >> And they cannot ain't working. It didn't even air. So then because it was a non-compete, too, that was like for 5 years or something like that. During that time, we wouldn't have been able to be on another show or post anything on our YouTube or else we would have violated. >> Yeah. >> So, it's like imagine if we said Yeah. and then they can it. you don't even get the show going like any of that. Yeah. >> Damn. >> Then they didn't see social media as a
9:15 compliment. They saw it as competing. They saw YouTube and TV was competing. >> Yeah. >> They didn't see like, oh, you could bring your fallen over here and this builds this. They build each other. They didn't see it like that. >> Damn, bro. Damn. Y'all really like at the early on stages of like, I need to own my masters. You know what I'm saying? I need to own my, you know, in in the in the I guess YouTube uh uh world competing with that. But that's ████ tight, bro. Cuz now that's ████ dope story knowing that like now what what it is now. You know what I mean? Like it didn't go go through and y'all made the ████ perfect call. You know what I mean? >> We also had friends that worked for us and we're like dang, dude. But we we supply their lifestyle. We pay them $1,000 a month. There's no way. What are they going to do for food? And then we're like, nah, man. We got to keep this. What are they going to do to pay? They got to pay rent. >> Yeah. And I think that was that was another thing too where we're like, "Nah, we got to we got to think about
10:05 this in the the group." >> Yeah. >> Damn, that's ████ tight, man. It's inspiring, bro. Y'all really the the the early on pioneers of this game as far like like I said, coming from the lane that y'all made paved in the YouTube world, you know what I'm saying? But like holding on to it cuz bro, I would have took that like took the the contract and all stuff like yeah, I'm in it. You know, I have the the goal or the dream to be an entertainer and be in Hollywood and be, you know what I mean, limelight and all that stuff. Boy, >> dude, we know you would have taken it and you would have facetimed your ████ dad. >> Yeah, bro. >> In the room with with Keen Ivory W >> in the in the middle of my audition. >> Look at how I'm coming up in the world and ████ Jesus Christ. You scare me, dude. You scare me. >> But you know what, man? Y'all y'all are also y'all are from Cali, you know what I mean? In this world and you know I mean I'm from a small town like north of Houston. So like like I was ve would be
10:55 very excited, very like oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. >> I was excited. Me too. I never met a celebrity like until that year, I think. >> Okay. >> One of the craziest meetings is uh we went to CIA and then just at like the waiting room area, it already looked like the ████ future like the way the building shaped. So, I was just sitting there like like ████ with my best bought clothes from ████ Tilly's or some ████ I'm got to ████ impress. And then you just see like crazy people that you see on like I think ████ the singer from Coldplay just walks by. Like it's just like the craziest celebrities just walk by normally and I'm like what the ████ is going on? >> Holy ████ >> It's just the crazy world. >> Yeah. >> So I know that feeling now. >> What was that one production company we went to where it was like Ben Affleck's brother or some ████ and there was like all these I don't >> Casey >> Casey Affle. Yeah. >> No, it's better known as Ben Affleck's brother. >> Oh yeah. Yeah. My bad. My bad.
11:46 >> I don't know. But it was like Yeah. It was a blur cuz it we had all kinds of crazy ass meetings. But I I'm I'm more happier that we made Wesley Snipes smile and we were at a house party and then the guy was he was ████ uh >> Do you smile like Blade >> with fangs? >> The face came out. >> Big smile, dude. I love that Blade smile. >> He needed the serum. >> Y'ALL ARE SO FUNNY. ONE OF the coolest things for me was uh I was doing my trolling videos and then Morgan Spurlock, the guy who did Superersize Me, he called me and it's like it's like what you guys were saying like like it's like how do they get your number? >> How do they do that? >> It's so random, dude. >> But he called me. I guess he got it through Maker or whatever the time. But then he was like, "Dude, I'm such a I love your trolling videos." He's like, "Let's do something like let's just figure out something to do." And then I
12:37 was like, "Sure, I'm I mean, yeah, you're Morgan Spurlock. You superize me." >> The ultimate troll. >> Yeah. Know exactly. I love his ████ And so I was like, "Yeah, whatever, man." And then I thought like, "Okay, that was just nice of him to call me and let me know he likes my stuff and like, let's do something is what people say >> and like see you never." >> Yeah. It's like stage one of networking. >> Yeah. And then like a 4 months later, I got this whole contract in the mail of like, "We want to do this documentary series with you or whatever and like here's the budget and like we'll pay you this much and all s███." And I was like, "Oh ████ we're actually going to do this." And then they they flew me to New York and I filmed it. It was actually during the Super Bowl, which was crazy because I never missed a Super Bowl, but I was I was so I was actually filming I filmed with for like three weeks in New York and and then something happened to the production company and like it was just one of the many things that got
13:27 sheld and never came out. >> Oh, damn. >> But yeah, it was but he was so cool and I like shot at his house. >> What was the documentary about? >> Hamburgers. Yeah, I I honestly barely remember at this point, but it was like um it was about like different things that you didn't know, like different things you probably didn't know. >> And so it's like it was very strange that they picked me for that because like I don't think that I'm a things you didn't know guy. >> It's like those those uh those carousels or it's like facts that don't sound like facts, but they're actually >> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. And I was like I don't think I'm a busters and ████ >> It's like Adam ruins everything, but like >> Right. But I don't think I'm that guy. You know what I I mean, like I'm more of like I'll make fun of something guy. >> You're a things that everybody already knows guy. >> Yeah, I'm a things everybody already knows guy. I'm a things that you probably saw a bunch of times already guy. >> I can see you doing that if the facts
14:17 were just really normal facts that everyone >> but doing it intensely. >> Yeah, >> but you didn't know. But he's supposed to show you. >> Did you know? Do you know that that rain is comes from the sky and like it's it's it's recycled water like ████ like that for for for maybe ████ who have who don't know that. >> But yeah, I don't know that it got shelved with many different projects, I guess. Yeah. But then that guy died. >> Oh ████ >> Yeah. Morgan. >> Yes. Uh Morgan Spurlock. He died a couple years ago. >> ████ man. The
