the transcript auto-captions · entered into evidence

0:00 [Music] so we are entering a time uh i think everyone's calling it the jk news renaissance the renaissance the renaissance i like it do people agree with that statement what's the jk news renaissance renaissance yeah you know what's funny is um this new era since we all have other side gigs and that this is no longer our main main we can do all kinds of funny experiments we don't care anymore baby am i wrong am i wrong it's like we could go to vegas and play we just ████ double down on people's rumors saying that you were you're ████ ████ off ████ us off you're god look at this you're like oh i made another group no

0:50 ████ you guys i don't need you anymore right so we played with that but that's the best part i actually like you guys that's a healthy relationship it's awesome that's what's funny right so we played into it people actually believed it and then we did the whole ████ skit out there we got the trump tower we could have got any other place yeah but we had to get the trump tower also could have eaten any other buffet and i wish we did for the buffet that was a must okay that was a buffet where i was like i paid for this for nine days nine long days yeah i was ████ up that was probably one of the worst buffets i think let me let me tell you let me tell you something that's dedication though man out of all of this really good buffets that one was and it wasn't just because it was like the food quality it just felt kind of sad yeah my life vitality dropped yeah but

1:42 there was a consistent plastic you taste in everything yeah yeah when you walk in in the middle so you're saying it's consistent carver looks at you like what the ████ he's trying to help you out dude he's like my family's in prison back there please don't eat here it's it's bad for us but you know what makes it worth it is because i knew that the appreciation of me showing you the food of your culture right circus but there's comments they're saying that was a ████ hilarious scene and i was like it was so worth it and we were out of budget because we spent 20 grand at the trump tower so we had to go there and it just kind of worked out that way it was hilarious for us for sure and it was my idea to go to the trump tower obviously because you know joe calls me and he's like okay so we we're just at jk today and obviously you weren't here because you're moving he's

2:32 like here's my pitch he's like we're gonna do this thing at the trump tower and it's your idea and i'm like all right [Laughter] [Music] okay guys this is mine this is me was awesome no we did a whole ████ off the record about being in the trump tower yeah we did a whole ████ joke i wasn't here for it but yeah it was good i forgot who was here for it trump was but you did fill me in after to your credit that's what i'm saying and then you're like it's your idea we're gonna do this take 100 responsibilities and the best part is like when we're we're about to do the video joe's like okay that first take that's not what we want and he's like here's this here's the take that we want and then joe's like well because steve's a huge trump supporter we gotta play into it dude it's so funny you know what i will say whatever the rumor is we gotta double down if he sees

3:23 white he must be a trump guy let's go oh and a jabberwocky supporter yeah i like the job well yeah what i will say about this renaissance is that in retrospect when looking at that triple yes that kind of felt like um in this new season kind of like our retreat yeah for sure yeah right it was good we all did become closer as a result of that yeah yeah and because some of the ideas that like you know uh maybe some of us might not naturally be inclined to like pitch most of it um having to commit to it felt like having to commit to this brotherhood oh yeah for sure you know what i mean so it was really really cool but there's just a sausage fish in here though yeah don't we need more feminine energy and

4:14 different perspectives but that's why i'm here i thought that's why anthony's here too i'm the feminine energy of the group i don't know what you mean by that but but doesn't it but what about the eye candy that's what we need right because that's what people miss they miss the eye candy anthony and ryan is there or just ryan ryan did you just flash your breasts i gave them eye candy dude i know they've been we got some horny incels and ████ that's been missing the and then steve's the big dick of the group you know sometimes sometimes uh because um i'm part of this dance club called kendra's uh sometimes fans will ask this question like how come there's no girls even though we have girls now but in the past in kenja's yeah how come there's no girls and stuff like that you guys put girls did you say ████ you ████ they could never be storm chasers that's what you said our fan our fans were like hey ████ ken just

5:05 my point my point is that you know there's also a bunch of like girl clubs out there that don't have guys in it and like those safe spaces that allow for whatever chemistry or conversation come about is natural just you know what i mean and in this space even though for sure there have been like women in the past that have been part of the show and whatnot but in this renaissance in the season because it's like all dudes i gotta admit the chemistry and the fun that i have here is on a whole other level and i want to take credit for being this genius who's like [Laughter] i had this trajectory right yeah like it's been so female empowerment focused that it was that that everyone this this space for men disappeared yeah so then so then i'm

5:56 like we need to bring that back because then maybe we could we could at least represent the guys that don't want to be in cells right but see that's my that's my narrative to kind of squeeze in here but the reality is the girls just don't want to ████ come here that's the truth so the truth is they started dropping like flies and after a while it was kind of hard to you know have regulars come here but i said you know what it's a new era and i do i do really believe like this is just me honestly speaking we are living in this weird era of redefining what is masculinity what is a man a good person supposed to be right and i feel like there's just so much of these confusing role models right especially like the whole men's right stuff and i

6:46 don't really get it but it sounds like anti-woman wait guys don't need rights what's men's rights what is that um it's guys who are i love that we should just leave it at that what is that first of all guys who are playing world of warcraft need something to listen to and we try to be that we try to be that every ████ time okay and that and that's it that's that's what i meant but then what i've been witnessing though is that like there's a lot of there's a lot of separation right there's like there's this weird ████ thing going on with like super democrats super republicans super ████ pro female i hate men super ████ male male guys that are like no women allowed i'm running away from all women male guys you know i'm not the ████ male now right not to be confused with male men because that's a different

7:37 profession you want to know when ashley's the best everyone acts like it's like joe and bart or whoever they were like no more chicks on jk and not what actually happened which is like there's a lot of people who are really mean to the chicks here exactly and the chicks are like we don't want to go on here anymore because everyone's so mean and then no no no it's not the only thing you make it sound like it's the word the comments are amazing yeah yeah yeah the comments are mean that's what it sounds like yeah you look at that i was like wait no the comments are so mean to these chicks and then they're just like i don't want to go anymore ████ this ████ this is not worth it at all i won't go here anymore and then the comments are like see you guys want to hear the chicks here what a sausage fish it's like yeah you made it a soccer mess you stupid ████ yeah you like the titties

8:28 they're gone because of you you no more no more ████ anything you know what's crazy you know what's crazy no more eye candy here i don't know why chicks get it so bad because like sometimes i'll say crazy ████ right when i say crazy ████ like deals like on her instagram whatever and then dms damns dance i can't believe we're ████ with this guy i don't even i can't believe i'm a kid with this guy and boom boom it's just all this ████ hate right she goes oh my god what did you say on jk news i'm like oh i don't know she goes check your dms check your tv i'm like i look and i'm like oh we love you on jk it's so ████ good i'm like oh i don't have anything because they're two ████ cowards hey babe i'm doing good because it's too ████ coward to talk to him directly or any of us they go to the women and she hasn't even been on in ████ like three years or some ████ what happened to the chicks here like what the ████ like it's like yeah no ████ that's the thing is like and a lot of and then that's why that's

9:19 also why a lot of girls just like they stick on big mood because the big mood fans don't ████ with them the way that ████ jk fans ████ with i wonder how it lasted so long it's because they're being nice oh my god everyone's so ████ stupid though they're like i don't know i don't get i yelled at this chick for like four hours why won't she respond to me and not not everybody who's watching right now obviously the ones that tend to unsubscribe and they came back later but you know who you are though commenters are different than the normal audience let's be honest yeah yeah that's a hundred percent true a different thing because there's also ████ out there that make multiple accounts and just keep talking ████ religiously and try to you know yeah but they also say the real fans me and joe ████ up when we bought luna at five dollars [Laughter] today's video is brought to you by curology

10:09 okay check this out curology they come in a little box like this super chill every month to my door they got really cool stuff because i don't like doing skincare and um i never did it until i started working with curology like over three years ago they've been sending this to me every single month and they made it super easy and simple for me boom we got the cleanser i just do this in the shower real quick real easy moisturizer you know going to places like las vegas my desert face turns into the sahara desert so so dry right okay but best of all is this here it says my name joseph fujitsukawa right and i have a special formula just for me that you guys can customize for your particular goals that you need for your skincare routine

12:42 you put five grand didn't change your life forever but instead you talked ████ and you got wrecked dude you got so wrecked i love it when we got ████ petty whop on the podcast they had this information you wreck yourself so hard or what they've been watching every ████ video every single video what i know what stephen joe invested in yeah but you didn't buy it yet stupid ████ they could have put a couple hundred bucks in they would have thousands you could weigh that half for over a year thank you well this one's new but thank you because i could afford it you know i mean how many millionaires did you make wow over ten easy a dozen not many people warren buffett and ████ him though ████ him he did the old way i don't like it that way and me being the you know me you know we all love to troll and ████ you know but

13:32 i do have to give it up to you steve you know that's another million you made for me too you know it's a big yeah a pleasure honestly you were one of the few people who were like this is a five-year plan for me i'm gonna do this and you said it with at the jump you're like i'm gonna i'm gonna get in it's a five-year move for me and you became a millionaire twice um you can only become it twice if you lose the first million though that's but that's the beauty right that is the beauty that doesn't happen in five years the beauty is in the struggle yeah when does anybody turn like a couple thousand dollars into like a million dollars twice but in reality you don't realize it until you cash out that's why it's called realized gains and losses if you don't understand how the game works it goes up and down in value all day but you got to minimize risk you have to attack the game in a different way like like the way that we're attacking the game like we could print bitcoin print it right because we didn't buy bitcoin

14:23 and hold bitcoin this whole time we were um migrating our funds into other assets like luna and so because of that we actually beat bitcoin in the ass and the ratios so we can accumulate more assets um because of that with less pain points so so that becomes much easier i can now cash out and that was my whole plan the whole time i told my crypto corner crew i'm like hey look we can um you can you can just buy bitcoin now and chill if you want to that's a strategy in it of itself but if you want to win in the ratios against bitcoin that's how you print bitcoin that's how you mine bitcoin better than just buying an ant miner or something like that you can actually buy a crypto that will beat bitcoin the ratios and i've done this like three times now it's not like i'm ████ new to this it's i've done this every run but you're a con artist steve i know i'm a congress it sucks it's kind of my dude my corners my corners are so sad and who were these millionaires that you made they're just imaginary so it's

15:14 all ████ i'm just making it up it's a fever dream you don't be genius let's interview all the ones that made it bro that'll be ████ that'll be a dope video yeah yeah yeah let's do it it's actually those are all crisis actors they're ████ fake like the sandy hook ones right yeah hey that's why we're in jk and that's my favorite thing to point out to people is like yeah every time i want jk like everyone knows i talk about crypto and then everyone in the room is like man we all got wrecked because of steve oh no they're not doing that because we like watch rolls why aren't they doing that i got wrecked because of steve yeah how rick half a million dollars sorry i know man steve makes us lose all the time it's a blast dude we still talking about the renaissance or we're done the financial reports here's the thing sure not bad one thing that came out of this this happy accident right that i really love is that

16:05 um when we were uh like pre-jk we were taking into consideration protecting some people in here right because some people don't want that attention some people like our wives and girlfriends and and friends and people who were here regularly not everyone is out here to do comedy solely or whatever right like they still are being part of such a hard take on something exactly and they don't want that kind of attention and drama like they don't want to get cancelled or whatever but everyone here is a dj that just doesn't give a ████ and what that does is it creates a freeing environment where we can just talk freely without thinking like oh damn you know should we watch out for like anthony's kings and ████ because they might like lose all their money in china yeah you should yeah but we have what we want we won't we just ignore it it makes no sense but shout

16:56 outs to you though and shout outs to you and actually all three of you guys because you guys never really got into comedy to do comedy but like you know for the sake of comedy sometimes you do a crazy hard take and your heart's not even in it you don't even believe in what you're just saying it's just in that moment this was the funniest thing to do or say or whatever because we're trying to make each other laugh yeah we're trying to ████ each other up right like with with words and like make it make each other break a character try not to get fired but i think like out of context or if people don't understand the game of comedy which some there's some like people with asperger's watching they probably think we mean every single thing that we ████ and as a person with asperger's you could say that i can say that because they're all just ████ around like we're just saying ████ to ████ around like i just ████ called jill's mom earlier and told her i have a gun to my head and probably freaked her out for like 30 seconds or something maybe less probably less april fool's day you ████ idiot it's really the first

17:47 honestly shout out to you guys for for for being down to being like always playing with the fine line of being canceled and ruining your actual real businesses that actually like feed you guys you know for the sake of comedy i thank you why isn't geo in this room bart why isn't you in this room right now she wants to be a mom but surely it's because this room is so toxic mark gio said that even though we're toxic men and she hates our guts um just kidding but but she did tell me this like you know how she was here recently and um you know she was she was like man i had a great time you know it was great like reminiscent but she realized that the energy has changed and she likes this change but then it also felt like i'm used to it but i don't want to break it apart that's how she felt like and i was like that's yeah that is interesting

18:37 because i'm like you're always ████ welcome you're a part of this family like let's go right and you fit right in but she was like no like when you guys were going at it it felt like you guys are this all-star basketball team and you have these plays and i was like on the sideline and i didn't want to mess it up we're the generals dude he's like poop and kaka so classic we're grooming him yeah no but i get i don't i understand well it's it's interesting too because i loved having all the chicks around but i think people don't realize how much the toxic group of people just turned them off

19:28 from being around yeah and keyboard warriors specifically i mean even julia talked about this too when she was a host she's like over the years it chips away at you and it ████ with your head so hard right and then they just want to do a good job she just wants to host she's not here to do comedy like we could all take it we have people saying i'm gonna ████ kill you when i see you one day i don't give a ████ suck my dick today you know you guys get those messages dude we had guys ████ emailing us and saying i'm going to i'm going to ████ murder you one day like come on do it facetime yeah why yes right after all right cool suck my you know average sized dick before you kill me please your dick is huge dude don't worry no no don't lie it's all hyped but when you didn't sign up for this right like it i think it's very scary it is like in

20:19 the ████ that they do to the girls look at julia bro she didn't sign up to be a ████ on-air talent people tiff didn't either none of these chicks did and then they all get ████ with over the years and then everyone acts like it's some like ████ war going on but it's like dude there's so much more going on than you guys even realize like because you guys like well not you guys the the audience the jk real audience is great but the dicks are ████ loud and so so all the girls hear that feel that like like they all get the ████ from the group so it sucks but the remaining careful boys we're okay with all that let's go it's cause you played safe man let's play it safe but let's keep going and for me i just like this new era where we can experiment and explore a lot and it seems like the people that stuck around to see what would happen they're

21:10 along for this ride too and i'm super grateful for you guys watching too because it's almost like we got this new chance to kind of shed out all of the people that just didn't mesh well with you know maybe what we're going to do next yeah with the next generation sure or where you saw it going but it's it's really not even just that for me personally i i can only speak for myself right but like i just know that when i'm in this room i feel like everybody has my back and i didn't always feel that way like the whole time it sometimes would feel like if i said something if i'm on camera with somebody else they would maybe try to pone me like and not in a like fun jovial way necessarily it was like no they're going to ████ get me good yeah they're trying no i don't know what you're talking about yeah yeah if i leave then i think about it for like a couple days i'm like wait am i like are the am

22:00 i just cannon fire for that or like what the ████ is that that's my i do feel like a couple years ago the best at it the best a couple years ago when walkism was at its peak right there were people within guests and people within our own crew mostly guests for me yeah that would sometimes have these it would take the comedy out and it would get into a certain direction of just like trying to pone each other yeah and it was no longer about a group of friends just having a discussion sometimes we'll argue about ████ and joke about it and maybe it'll be heated arguments but we still have each other's backs but then the people that are trying to virtue signal and all that ████ and i didn't like that man and i'm so glad that we're past that and we're in a new era and we're gonna change and i feel like it reflects in our fan base too our

22:50 fan base everybody who was too woke and all that stuff they're gone yeah and it's funny too because people are like well cool you guys got this anti-walk thing going on it's like yeah we're for free health care and we're real ████ trumpers here you know people aren't even listening half the time it's like uh yeah okay a lot of people's intro to politics was trump that's the problem that's the problem so everybody sees it as either or it's like come on man there's a whole load of ████ pre this yeah that's the way you know you can't ████ teach them that much history i love the comments or the thought realm that we're a sausage fest too because i look around everybody here and i'm like damn the the everybody here has a ████ uh a woman back at home that they like love and respect like more than themselves or even each other so we're either simps chads or ████ oh yeah sorry

23:40 talk ████ about don't talk ████ about me i i i would never respect my woman anthony my mom gio and jill's my hoarder mother is a ████ also she has cancer so be chill [Laughter] ████ get cancer too apparently speaking of hard times i had two dogs one of them was female and i kicked that one in the stomach every day but to back you up that's a hundred percent true yeah in the true definition of being a feminist dude they do the ones that do they do paint a picture of word anti-woman when we're in loving long-term relationships with everyone says speak for yourself and they can't read between the lines they think we're all dan bilzerians or

24:30 like guys that are like absolutely going home and yelling at our wives every day people are so literal that they go based off just jokes and just random thoughts are just ping-ponging off each other versus actual like we have 10-15 years of video track record history of how we really are but no one wants to like see past yeah did you see the way that anthony looked at bart while bart was saying that like no one wants to see past thing anthony clearly is disagrees with barton thinks it's all ████ like that's all that are you looking at my ████ face through the thumbnail dude of course jesus but that's what i'm saying it's all it's like all this nuancy ████ that we're all like what the ████ are you talking about i genuinely want to know i generally hate women too selling i'm telling you my mom is i don't hate women i just hate seeing them succeed i hate seeing a boat that's why that's

25:21 my biggest thing that's the whole renaissance we've been trying and this is the renaissance guys bro man anti-women jk2022 i'm almost a good mom not a good prostitute [Laughter] terrible prostitute honestly terrible at bookkeeping awful yeah that's all i heard the reviews is that terrible bookkeeping that's in the same sentence as criticizing your prostitution rating but let us know in the comments below let us know if you guys are enjoying this new era how you feel about it if you don't enjoy it don't let us know that's the new era keep it to yourself as i do i do get a lot of really cool messages from people that obviously wouldn't have known anything about me if it wasn't for jk and they're all super cool so yeah all you guys that are just writing to me and just asking me ████ i like it

26:11 keep doing her thing if you hate me go on jill's instagram [Laughter] also also real quick me and joe were talking about this last night we had dinner together and it was awesome and it was like the best thing about this show is that i we really don't need to do the show we don't need it none of us do i ████ love you boys and i really mean it and like when i pick up my phone and i have a bunch of careful boys texts from our group text there's nothing better about my day than hearing from you guys and yeah that's sweet stupid that's awesome i love you dude i just mean it like i love it i love i love um know what you guys are up to and i love our little vibe that we have together and for whoever watches it even when bart's like what's tara not dead then i get mad i tell him i tell my wife he's a ████ idiot [Music]
