0:00 what was your favorite what's your highlight I don't even know where to start yeah did you know where you finished [Music] though welcome back to JK out of the closet Anthony's back today we're talking about how Anthony went on this tour called the Tik Tok tour and how that changed your life forever tick tick tour tick tick tour wait yeah Tik Tok is a different yeah you probably read it wrong I did read it wrong yeah really that was a life changer leave from the front absolutely the front credit to me when this is the one we all went to yeah this is the one we all went to that was life changing for me because of timing referencing the last video that was like right around the same time that I was either what year was that 2011 right August I don't even
0:50 remember I think I just got laid off makes more sense cuz I don't think Tik Tok existed then yeah tick tick existed it was called a tick tick tour because the poreotics were so big at the time oh yeah they just won ABDC and then they were always ticking oh I know one of them yeah they do that it's annoying huh and this is their second tour right it's technically the TIC tick 2 tour no they were like Justin Bieber big yeah they were just in Australia yeah yeah they they they were on a music video [Music] huge are you ready let's go 1 two 1 two three let's go and then when we when we did the tour with them man like thousands the they
1:41 did a music video with Justin Bieber and music video with Bruno Mars that's right Bruno Mars really yeah yeah they're in the um today I know the monkey after ABDC they were in Monkey cost were on ABDC and we're doing all these things oh ████ so porotic is headlining uh JK is there so like you guys Gio and uh Casey was there yeah me Joe Gio Casey but come on man we swim all the way here to Australia to be the underwear model and you don't want to do it anymore what's the real deal is it because your left nut is smaller than your right nut you don't want the people to know that okay and then my CH my Joseph Vincent Jr Kino po post on The Architects uh who else was there I got the ████ flyer bro I that's memorable
2:33 for me did you say parotic already yeah they're headlining and then it was you why is it in the bathroom if it's so memorable ran put it there you yo mama cruzo was me Victor and Lawrence because Mike couldn't make it cuz Mike was doing a cob modern stuff at the time yeah actually I don't know where it went I know where it is it's all way back the wall on the left I'll get it no that's the that's the USC one yeah no you're thinking about the idx one yeah yeah no but I framed it up it was a good time it was a good time so anyways this ended up being a huge one for me because I still wasn't a full-time Dancer by any means this was just like a gig that yo mam crew got yeah so I was like okay cuz yo M crew would get like a gig here and there we would do like University of Chicago we would just do random stuff
3:24 you know at time Victor was huge with like uh ytf stuff Mike was huge Waba stuff I was huge just huge like bodied and so like stupid but I was still doing YouTube stuff too so it wasn't like a like who is that random guy it was just like he's their friend um so we would just do random shows as well and then we got booked for this thing Mike couldn't make it but we still we still went through with it I ended up meeting y'all for the first time and if that's not a big enough lifechanging moment like there it is um but I remember that this was at the time where I I just been laid off so this was
4:17 huge financially for me even though I maybe got like like I don't know like three grand or some ████ like that you know um it was huge financially cuz I needed money and two like I ended up meeting people that would be very very PIV pivotal in like the next few years of my life leaning up to like where I was do you guys know I was actually performing with porotic for a while too no no yeah I was per I never saw any of those but yeah you told they were all at random clubs and he's wearing a mask so you don't remember doesn't wear mask he's the only one in a mask they were sunglasses bro oh my bad my bad my yeah um so like yeah that that just ended up being such a huge moment for like I feel like God ordained type stuff for me to be there because one two things happened and this is this is more so like for the Deep fans that like know what's up two things happened one I met a lot of amazing people that
5:10 like I ended up building really long lasting relationships with all the way to the point where I started doing JK films skits with you guys and Lawrence was there too we were doing the very very straight routines and then uh when JK news happened like you guys had the the dopeness to continue to invite me as a guest all the way up until now we're sitting here in 2024 I get the privilege of Hosting PVP style you know what I mean ████ with this with this group of fine gentlemen that we call the care boys CL huh y full circle but um also though was uh never really got a chance to talk about this but like me and Victor were really really really close I'm talking about me Mike and Victor we were your mom crew we were the closest of butt buddy style homies that like had done everything together up until that point
6:01 since we first met in college in 2004 we did everything together we lived together we rolled together we like partied together we went through each other's you know um highs and lows of like new girls and breakups and everything there might even be some Eskimo stuff I really don't know but askimo Brothers don't bring it up hell yeah um but also the point is that like me and Victor we was going through a straining relationship at that time for different reasons uh just through the years I I I did my best to support something that I think uh both of those guys were going through something so unique at the same time like blowing up on Via YouTube to like blowing up on TV or just blowing up like I said I was always trying to be a supportive friend in that way but uh it just ended up kind of pulling us apart
6:51 in different ways and I just remember this particular trip actually being one of the last straws cuz I got into a few arguments with Vic uh on that trip and that was actually one of the genuine last times that we like for real got down together on stage and like did some stuff where we were like really really cool um and that was a a hard time for our relationship and uniquely it was also a time that I met a lot of people that would become very very close friends of mine so when you replaced them I absolutely replaced them but it took but it took like 40 people to replace them see that's how much like I I always think about it like this like when it comes to like guys and like having girlfriends and stuff you can have like a 52c card deck you can go meet girls and they can rip them up and you can just like replace it with another deck but for some reason when it comes to like homies that break your heart you only have a couple cards yeah
7:41 that's true and you only have so much space you know what I mean it hurts kind of like a thousand times more no offense uh to anybody ████ because you're replaceable you're nothing Anthony Lee is what it is but that was just how I I understood my relationships with with dudes and homies and stuff true so it just again when Bart you know asked us all to like think about like five moments that really kind of affected or changed our lives and stuff like of course I had to think of the TIC tour for all the greatness like if I didn't meet y'all JK like man JK is one of the sickest things I've ever been able to be a participant in in my life I really love this place I love his community I love his people I like Steve a little and the fans are cool thank you so much um merch is really really cool but but it also happened to be also just a very pivotal
8:31 Arc of where I feel like the hill started going downhill for my relationship with one of my best friends um and that was a tough time for me so yeah but you you seem fine it seems like it didn't even bother you one bit it was like totally cool you've recovered them seem like you had a best time ever and it was like probably for the better it sounds like took 13 years I'm finally talking about it so this this Con is this the one that you guys got stuck at customs with the tiger yeah is that the same one this is the same one how many people were in the crowd for the tick tick tour we were in multiple cities yeah we were in Brisbane Sydney Melbourne Perth and then back to another city I think we did what was like the average attendance for do you guys remember thousand at least wow the audience was big back there one of the venues we did they're saying that's the venue that Lady Gaga performs at oh ████ like so at this at the beginning of
9:22 YouTube because like um to Australia like they don't go oh that's a a traditional celebrity or whatever celebrity anything coming out of America is just coming out of America so anything is a big deal and the way the fans were is bananas at this point did you guys have any performance or anything like this at the time that was like that would reflect that personally I never seen fans like that they were trying to rip your clothes off while you were on stage wow it was crazy I felt like you're like K-pop status and they're like Rowdy cuz this was during the time too when um Asians didn't know how to act in a crowd like seriously like a lot of line huh no like they don't know how to um give feedback they don't know how to be an audience member are they running their grocery card into you and then moving on no like they're just quiet so well I mean depends where you
10:12 go if you go to Texas or or whatever like they're Rowdy right they know how to express themselves and have a good time but most people they were just awkward in the audience they would just and we never had a crowd for over 100 respectful couple hundred people but Australia was thousands and they're all like expressive so they're just like and like I'm talking like the energy was just crazy groupy girls would somehow find out all of our hotels and they would show up and like people would be ████ on this tour that's like Vicon except that most of the it was like a bunch of kids and you guys remember the show too right so it's it's like a basically a mini concert with all these like YouTubers and stuff like that right you got people that are like dancing all sexy and ████ or like people that you saw dancing on ABDC like very serious shows in a sense people are singing like
11:02 they're bringing their guitar out they got beautiful ████ voices and just swooning ████ left and right and then our group comes out and we're wearing ████ tiger onesies doing the show right and I think that we're weird but then when I like peek over cuz Jake news comes out these two come out as ████ Uncle chin Uncle Sam and I'm like are these guys my people cuz we're both just in ████ ridiculous outfits while everybody else is hella trying to be sexy ████ hella cool and Bart ████ hated you Bart didn't like me at the time really what's the story on that I don't know what was the story on that I don't know what the story on that hated you I did that's like the story right huh you guys were there and you guys were like that guy sucks no that's more Gio that more Gio oh it was Gio um I liked Anthony I liked everybody there that was
11:52 a great time my bad my I do remember a very surreal moment like the first stage we did we came out in the outfits and I remember going on stage and then hearing like the crowd Roar and then going is this ████ real life ████ cuz we're wearing these stupid ass outfits that we bought from like the Salvation Army these characters that don't even make any sense and there's like a thousand something plus people yeah and we're shooting videos off of like old school cameras that somehow developed some fan base I just remember going this is ████ insane I don't know what to make of this but I was like good thing we had our show planned so I just went through with it but it was like I just couldn't believe all that was happening am I really in Australia right now the craziest thing was um we all slept in a matter of a week less than 8 hours total
12:43 in 7 days in a week so every night we probably slept about 30 minutes to an hour what the hell if we were lucky it's cuz after every show there's also immediately you just get taken by bus to the Afterparty and the Afterparty is crazy because they're just Fanatics fans and you're having a good time I'll never forget was it a a dude that Gio pushed like across the ████ room yeah that's when I was like cuz I was already like who Gio's a tall girl and then like some dude either came up and like danced on her or something like that or kissed Bart or some ████ I think it two things a guy kissed me Gio didn't do anything about that Gio watch I heard I heard she slipped her hand down her pants she was jerking off the another dude started dancing on Gio and the thing GI just pushed him bro she shoved him and like it looked like it's almost like an organic Cipher kind of a circle so
13:33 there's just space and there's a bunch of people and this dude like comes with dance heart and she pushed him and I swear to God he slides the whole way like it was like a ████ movie effects where the GU soccer effect that's like my Giants yeah and I was like oh ████ she I want got to ████ with her and and it was just we would and then after the after party you would like sleep a little bit in the hotel shower and then you'd be on the next flight to the next city they're like all right call time 8:00 a.m. so like you get done at the club you have 30 minutes to reset you have to make it to your flight and then you might fall asleep on a plane but not really cuz everyone's hyping each other up and then you get to the next city you got to already go mic test you got to check out whatever make sure everything's good and then boom it's showtime what's your mic test Joe do it test ████ one
14:26 who I knew it and I don't know about you guys but that was like one of the most amount of drugs I took in like one week no I was sober by then I quit drugs by then yeah that's why him the two people that were the most healthiest him and Joseph Vincent got sick the rest of us I was smoking like a chimney cuz Joseph was jogging every morning he was jogging being healthy yeah Bart's like sleeping on time and ████ not going out and those two got sick none of us got sick bro we was ████ going so hard and like this is like me I don't want to put B on blast but one of the singers there I remember like we had just met but then once you start like doing Ecstasy with people on stuff like you're ████ best friends I'm like doing light shows on this guy dripping sweat in his mouth while he's like oh and we it just was so
15:16 deep and I was like what world are we living in because then you would go on no sleep and then the next place you would be at these people don't know me they know me by association you know what I mean I'm the guy in the tiger suit and they're just like ah and I was like this is this is fake I just quit my I just got laid off like this is crazy I like that you didn't name names but the only other singer didn't do drugs you you've done a lot of traveling for entertainment right like whether you're doing a show or teaching or whatever right and then you must have had a lot of fun but do you ever go man it just doesn't hit like the tick tick tour I don't think anything will ever hit like that right I kind of feel like that like it's like my first hit weed and then like I try to chase it and I'm just like well there it's been some really good moments but still like so
16:06 now you still travel do the whole China stuff is it different now at your it's like I'll be at like it hits in a different way like performing with Jackson and Sierra at Coachella it's like so next level that it's too out of this world it's like almost not relatable and it's also like it's also like not me you know what I mean I'm like performing for yeah my crewmate and like also like this person that we used to get danc with all the time and it's like it's out of this world at Tic tick tour like it does they were way less people but they were like there for users are there to ████ yeah yeah they're trying to suck you dry dud never going to be the same especially Aussies it was crazy performing like to me the the probably the top things that like took me out of this world were definitely like Coachella with like Sierra and Jackson um I remember
16:57 performing at the Dallas Cowboys uh season opener a couple years ago and when you're like seeing yourself on Jumbotron SL like I've just never been dancing in front of that many human this 2018 wow and then also uh doing we always we did the Christmas game at Golden State Warriors twice oh yeah that's crazy and both times it was LeBron was there against the Warriors but one time was with the Cavs and one time was with the Lakers damn that's Prime Time television it was prime time but so when are you going to miss Christmas I'm going to ████ miss Christmas at home for this you know what I mean you just like the way that your heart is racing like I'll never ever forget those moments but they'll never hit the way that tick tick tour did during that time because of like just what we went through and how young we
17:47 were too yeah when you're younger it's like way different yeah and it was a group together doing it together it almost felt like jumping into a tour bus and then like doing it together the whole way the first time your dick got raw from all the sucking ████ you were doing ████ are we out of time no we got three we got four minutes maybe yeah you got four minutes to think about it was your dick raw how raw was it Joe's expression speaks a th words I didn't have sex there without naming other names hell yeah I had moments but not sex I'll say without naming other names one of the dudes there who was like dating this girl anyways he had many options and then he came up to me and he asked me for my counsel on if he should because he was like he like I'm kind of dating this
18:38 other girl and then I was like I was like I don't know dude this this looks like a fun time t tour dude and then I was like who's the other girl and he name is this girl and she was my friend too and I was like oh but she's tight though I don't think you should and now they're married wow you saved him from making a bad decision shout out Chad match keeper love wow Chad okay hey Chad way to have a moral um moment but then way to have your buddy fix it for you she is tight right she was worth it she I think he said this at her wed but he wasn't so sure he did they weren't officially dating at the time it was one of those like very are which kind of means more though it kind of does mean more yeah so that was a good time that was a very impactful time for a lot of people yeah yeah was that the first time or the second time you got your butt ate out you said he didn't ████ I'm looking
19:29 for a loophole here or just a any hole no I I mean I made out with girls in the club and all this stuff and there was one night that we were supposed to that's weird and one of the guys got lost to the hotel room it was three guys three girls so the girl that was paired up with him started getting all like self-conscious and like where's he and then the girls now gave her attention and then we just like she thought she got ditched we were just like all right well I guess we're talking all night guess you're up for grabs yeah for grass and I wasn't um shotgun yeah hey people had sloppy seconds on that trip just no it wasn't me but wasn't me a lot of esimo brothers were created that trip by her oh yeah no joke yeah dude no the igloo got packed tight that ████ summer got a little warm in there dude
20:19 that's what I heard what a trip that was a good trip man was a good trip what was your favorite what's your highlight I don't even know where to start yeah did you know where you finished though you
