0:00 I have a whole list of different types of classes and stuff that I want to take that I I never got a chance to do them it's like a $10,000 class go to a beach this guy literally texts the group I show interest cuz I'm like that sounds really cool then he's like it's Connecticut so you obviously have to buy plane tickets for yourself to go learn how to drown in a plane and then he calls me a flake because I'm second [Laughter] [Music] guessing welcome back to another episode careful boys where today we are going to check in with Bart and ask him how life is has been since no longer having Baro now that it's been a while oh the what the difference is yeah like what's it's got to be like night and day he finished peeky blinders I know that's crazy he actually finished a series I feel like
0:50 it's been pretty cool um yeah that's like one big thing where I feel like I've been able to do normal people ████ cuz before I was like super busy yeah so even like uh back then when we used to watch Game of Thrones like try to keep up with like it coming out back then we'd watch uh it would take us a week to watch one episode Jesus cuz we'll watch like five yeah five cuz we're so tired by the end of the night so I'll watch like 5 10 minutes and we knock out do you even understand what's happening the next time you turn it on we rewatch a little bit but now we're like actually watch the full episode that's pretty cool we get to go on like random spontaneous dates which is cool oh we should go eat here y'all been doing fing fine dining when your date oh every every Thursday we try to do like a nice place like a actual like yeah you go to you go to like nice restaurants like on one of those what's a nice restaurant like one of those list type like did you go to
1:41 like spago or something like that we went to spago we went to uh when the food is like this small and the plate is this big you know you balling you know you're getting ripped off left and right you know you got to go to ████ McDonald's afterwards to fill up yeah been going there once a week I go before sometimes what about your like I guess like your your mental habits cuz that's got a that's a really fast change from you thinking about barbell almost 24 hours a day to now it feels like um I feel like it probably you feel like you have less PTSD a little bit cuz like when you when you're run I mean I'm sure Joe's going through right now but like anything could happen at any time so you always have this layer of like spidey sense going off what's ████ what the ████ happening there's going to be this delay in production or this happens
2:31 or that happens and you're just and it's just a constant and you don't even realize you know like you could be at trying to enjoy like Valentine's Day and there's this constant thing that's just buzzing oh yeah and then now that that's like completely off it feels like like still my life is it completely off though cuz like don't you still have the gym we do but it's not as crazy as um they do a good job running that yeah so you're not stressed about it yeah as on the as as the online side of things and then um I think the biggest part too is barbell at its peak our cost of operation was like anywhere from 30 to 50 Grand a month so if we if something gets delayed or whatever like let's say you have uh 200 Grand in the account it's literally won't even last a quarter wow because if some if something gets delayed and you
3:22 can't have that drop it's like every it's like 50 gs 50 gs 50 G's every month it's it's crazy so it's cool to like not have to worry about such such a big machine and it just it just feels like still and so it feels like very calming and I feel like um it feels nice actually yeah I really like I wonder how long that's going to last because like you were at it up now you're kind of like in the middle right because then that middle is going to now start to Plateau if you don't do anything now so what what do you think is going to be like your next thing with all that space so I did start exploring a bunch of other like initiatives and as soon as I got into that I realized I was starting to pack my schedule again and which is kind of like the opposite of what I wanted to do so we kind of um we talked about it now me and Jo actually schedule like a a monthly
4:12 check-in now with each other which is kind of cool so we can kind of talk about like our life finances just everything and just kind of make it a very intentional thing almost like treat like our what we're trying to do with our life as like a business almost but then obviously like way more way more romantically and emotionally and then um we decided like we're not going to do anything uh like business-wise until next year just to really enjoy ourselves and have a good time yeah what day next year I don't know what time I'm a change Man Steve I don't know are you that way me and Jo laughing it's all scheduled still it still has to be scheduled it's the best scheduled romance yeah so it's been it's been cool so like recently thank thanks Ste man I'm taking my shoes off again well every time I go to the John I put shoes back on then I keep kicking them and I come back so it's yeah it's
5:02 been it's been pretty cool cuz I've been able to say yes to a bunch of things which I felt like I would never was able to say yes to you know like I've been wanting to take shooting classes so recently I was like swimming uh shooting shooting oh I took I was able to take a shooting class that was yeah that L cool and then uh thatch was in town so we did like a there's like this real estate Stam that look crazy that last property that you posted it looked like a Civic Center that one is the highest the most expensive listing in Vegas of all time all time what what was it it was uh it was like this house in McDonald Highlands or McDonald Ranch U and then I found we found out that it was the owner of Lone Depot's house lone Depot loan Depot is like one of the biggest mortgage companies in America I thought it was like Home Depot's competitor or some ████ you know yeah but the one competitor it's the loone yeah it's just
5:52 one Mega Home Depot store yeah it's like one of the one of the biggest loan or mortgage companies I know I knew things change right after barbell because like Bart would hang out you know like we went to the Thai market and I was like oh ████ you're coming and I'm like damn that's cool and then like there's a different energy of like Bart's not like there but not there you know where he would be there but he's like all right cool are we done all right I got to go y like Nick style yeah yeah Nick now now Nick is like that yeah that's like Nick you know what's funny even Jason chenny said that really like so Jason was in town right he like I you want to come out check out my show I was like dude you know mean I ████ say yes to everything now so I went to go check I went to go check out his show we hung out afterwards and then afterwards he was like but uh are you always
6:43 walking I was like what do you mean he was like even like you know even we hanging out you feel you're working I'm like damn really so I didn't really understand that I was like is it cuz like I'm on or but I feel like I was relaxed but maybe it's just because I'm so used to like the gears are turning all the time time yeah I don't know but and you do keep a tight schedule so whatever it is you're like I got a heart out and I'm gone like a smoke bomb out of the room yeah yeah well I think a lot of things changed too when you moved to Vegas cuz I remember sitting in your jacuzzi and going oh ████ I better leave soon it's almost 10: but we just kept talking and I was like oh ████ like I'm not overstaying like it's chill and this is before you sold barbell but um I think like recently when you were inviting everybody to do the the class uh remember the the drowning class
7:33 yeah drowning underwater with the fuselage explain explain that expl giving me ████ cuz I was down and then you're like it's in Connecticut anyways this is something that Bart used to do I would say like pre-a right where he would come up with these crazy ideas and no matter how ████ busy he was this was a thing as like let's ████ do it right but then when he got super swamped with everything like that yeah ta is a ████ Ruiner but like there was no more of that and then so I haven't seen that out of him in a long time where he would find fun ████ and just for no reason it's like let's learn how to drown and he sends it to us at 5:25 a.m. can you explain what that program is yeah it's like um for people that want to train on if a airplane
8:23 crashes into the water how to like get out and swim out of the so it's a simulation yeah simulation of a scenario that would never happen but it looks so the they have a half body of a plane it crashes into the water and then it starts turning like 360 so you got to learn how to take the seat Bel out and all that stuff it's turning 360 while you're trying to get all guys that work on an oil rig have to do that what's the like cuz oil rigs are airplanes what's what's the fatality rate so far well the class yeah well there's scuba divers underneath so if they see you they'll come save you bro I try to hold my breath while I was watching it and I was like I can't last 10 seconds how long does it take typically to get out of there we'll figure out once we go take the class you really want to do it for real yeah and you have to fly to Connecticut for it I had a I have a whole list of different types of classes
9:14 and stuff that I want to take that I I never got a chance to do them so I'm now I'm like I'm a it's like a $10,000 class go up to a beach yeah can we just like hang out like we could practice we could practice that at a beach maybe even like play a game of pickle ball or something yeah that's reasonable but this guy's literally texts the group I show interest cuz I'm like that sounds really cool then he's like it's Connecticut so you obviously have to buy plane tickets for yourself to go learn how to drown in a plane and then he calls me a flake cuz I'm second guessing wait how much how much is that thing it's a th000 okay so you're literally buying a hotel room get it's like 2K 2K it's a whole event it's a whole thing so I buy a ticket to the Bahamas personally yeah dude can we just like hang out stay at a resort dude I'm
10:07 down I'm down to do a I want to do a cigar Factory trip if you guys want to do a cigar Factory trip you could go to Dominican Republic buy the plane ticket though sure but that sounds way more fun today's video is brought to you by Uncommon Goods spark something uncommon this holiday with just the right gift from Uncommon Goods what's really cool about Uncommon Goods is is they have a whole bunch of uncommon things that you can go ahead and like look for and you're like what is this I never seen this before it's so unique it's not like going into one of the stores that that that just like all across the nation you get the same exact thing this is rare this is unique it's from independent business owners just like this this one here is probably handmade in La Delight phase 3

12:39 like out of nowhere it was like let's just go to the beach and body board or like yeah it would be like Hey Joe you want to go to this restaurant and I'm like man I bought all these groceries I don't think it's the right thing to do and for some reason my dishes are half ████ finished and we're at In-N-Out or whatever we're at some kind of restaurant so he always want to do spontaneous ████ yeah I mean I remember when me B David and Gio were talking about tacos old Gordo one time oh yeah and then we literally drove to San Diego just to eat tacos and drive back that in one conversation we're talking about it next thing you know we're ████ down the five freeway from La PR tired so we used to waste a lot of time like a ████ T of time but that's like a more fun spontaneous like I feel like now B's spontaneous is like crazy crazy yeah cuz
13:30 he's a rich man spontaneous yeah he got the money now to go crazy D you guys are crazy I'm not crazy pre pre taica though I didn't know him pre-o pre taica he was just like a down ass ████ like it was like we're going to like we're we're going to do we want to do this it's like Bart Bart's there or if you if you had like a party somewhere Bart was there Bart was present then taica shows up Bart's there Bart is just orbiting taica as taica just walks around and tries to kill himself everywhere that's true that is what happens to have a kid though yeah for sure yeah taica ruined everything taica ruined everything but now he's also at the age where it's less so it's pretty chill like you don't have to he's not trying to kill himself yeah that's big so your brain so your brain's less off oh he's he's a wild kid but he's not
14:20 trying to kill himself so it's your brain is less on on him well I mean you always had barbell during those times but I think the difference is when everything grew like when JK barbell when everything grew at the same time that's when it became like oh ████ like we're working all the time versus like when everything was small and manageable then you can ████ around how far back do you have to go to find a time where you guys were chilling and you weren't working at all like there wasn't a thing at all yeah there wasn't like a project you were doing together and you were just friends like prej k then how far back is that when is that 2007 yeah cuz 2007 is when we did JK but even then that was fun cuz the first year we didn't even get paid like it wasn't a
15:10 business it was just literally a fun thing but was the mindset kind of the same where you were like I'm still hustling for this and I want it to be something or you were just doing it purely the only obligated thing I think was when we decided let's try to be on like a consistent every Sunday oh and that but that didn't that happen after we went fulltime yeah cuz before all even the JK stuff was fun driven versus business or goal driven for a long time yeah it would just be like oh dude we should act like this this these characters are fun and we just meet up we'll drive down to OC with our director at the time and we'll go just drive the streets looking for a good place to shoot everything was fun based and it was still fun even when we were like I remember sleeping like 3 hours a day and we would film from morning till night
16:00 and I think the the the Blurred thing to me is like because it's fun and like the way you're making money is like you're making more content which you enjoy doing or you're traveling doing shows and whatever right and you're Landing deals that you never landed before like six figure deals so that's just like holy ████ and that's fun and then time passes and it's like couple years go by and you don't know it gets blurred like it I don't know it's weird it's kind of a weird experience cuz you just don't expect things to all hit and when they all hit I think you're like oh ████ this some big boy numbers yeah when it was like when JK was like a ton of people when you had the big studio and there was like a staff of like 20 people and ████ how did you guys ever hang out outside of work with all of those people
16:50 not all but like yeah but in it was hard to get everybody together but everyone actually hung out yeah it was like Pockets it was mostly like some of the editors would hang out with with us some of them would all hang out with each other or whatever it was just like pockets of yeah one of the parts that makes me happy is um some of the editors that don't work here like they all left on good terms and like let's say someone has a major life event Like Pat for example got married and I'll see a bunch of the other JK party editors all be there I'm like that's dope like people formed real friendships during like the whole thing was really really cool yeah even though I wasn't invited so yeah me neither even though they also formed real enemies yeah that's ████ up I got invited but I was in Hawaii yeah I think those there
17:42 were it was like one of those things where the work and the play was so blurred cuz the friendships were you spend time with the you vacation with these people but it's just convenient to Vlog so you did it anyway and then there were times where the camera was off but you just go and do ████ and hang yeah I think there was a lot of that and it was really it was normal for a long time until we went I would say a year before Co so 2018 is when we're like oh ████ all of our personal relationships are actually suffering from spending so much time just creating content and I think that's when it was like Hey we got to figure out what to do here maybe we'll reduce the channels we don't need to do all of them damn and I think that's around the time when we we focus with Steve more to create long form like TV series movies cuz we're
18:34 like that's what we at the time that was like what we wanted to do yeah so it's like why are we doing this as the fields Channel JK party all right we like it it's fun but like maybe it's time to like let go and let other people kind of carry it on and then we could focus on creating danger boys and stuff like that and right when we had all of these colleges like ready and lined up to do a danger Boy tour yeah I remember that so Bart now now that you have all this mental capacity like are you going to ever are you ever going I feel like I'm like a recover Down syndrome patient are you ever now you can think again cuz that's how Down Syndrome works like are you ever going to revisit any creative Endeavors in film and everything cuz I feel like that's something that that really launched you to where you're at now like now that you're back in this space of
19:25 like oh I have all this time like do you feel like that's something you would ever be like maybe something spontaneous in that area will happen I really want to I really really really want to um I don't know what it is yet because the biggest difference is before I didn't have a family so now I do so now it becomes kind of like Financial stability is number one so I feel like I I kind of have to earn that's how I started getting into like real estate and everything um but I feel like I have to earn my place to kind of have fun and do those things but I definitely want to whether it's like writing again or or even like auditioning for random things or creating projects I definitely want to because I feel like that's what brought me and Joe together to create JK and all that stuff in the first place and I still have uh a lot of fun doing it and I feel like just everyone in this
20:15 room that's together like we all have kind of like a unique voice that I think would be really cool to still offer the world I feel like once we're all Ballers of America it'll be so easy to finance some ████ like like mean and mean style but you know what thinking what would be really ████ good with this group is um a live show like a like a modern cir show that isn't so like like kind of Stuffy yeah yeah but like a modern cir show yeah but with more gymnastics yeah all anon's when did we all do acrobatics like 10 times more gymnastics what the heck is that thing you posted recently that said like thing oh so shout outs to David Park um uh I don't even know how I got connected with him but he's like a big fan of jks he
21:06 grew up on JK and he wrote a bunch of like those you know like those uh like X-Men series that that you'll see like the the Side Story lines he writes a bunch of those he's like a legit writer and then um he was putting together a project and I just randomly hit him up I'm like hey if you ever have like space for a random character i' would love to play and then he wrote back and he goes are you ser serious he's like if you want to I I'll plug you into this new pilot I'm working on I was like oh ████ I was like yeah I'd love to and then so he's working on this project called uh the metrop paladins um and it's it's pretty cool I think it's like um it's kind of like another take on like Magneto and Dr Xavier but in a different alternate universe we have good mutants bad mutants and then so we did our first uh what happened profess Professor what the
21:57 ████ did I say doctor it's mister mister we we had our first we had our first table read and then my character is kind of like kind of reminds me of uh which I think is good cuz he probably knows that I don't have acting chops so my character is not that deep but I think he's more of like a Colossus kind of like like a just a muscle type character and he's kind of like an enforcer like if these two these couple of guys aren't are acting up like hey this is what the ████ we're trying to do you know so I don't have to like ████ emote too crazy and have to put on a like I think crying scene yeah I think he just wrote he wrote for me which I'm like okay cool this is going to be easy to tackle interesting when does that shoot or what's the deal with it what's so it's a it's a slow project we have our next uh real read on the final script in November and then he's going to try to shoot in 20125 is it live action yeah 2025 and then he's going to
22:50 is it a pilot or a feature pilot for TV series yeah and then from there you might be a serious regular maybe that's tight but it's dope to see how when when you're like a seasoned person and you're working um in the industry even his Pilot feels like at a pretty high level like you know like he books a studio to do the table readit I thought I going to go to some Fool's living room but it was like it was like at a studio to do the table read there's already BTS cameras the Wardrobe person is already there to kind of hear how everyone's take on their characters so they can start brainstorming how they want to create the costumes and ████ so I was like oh ████ this is a way different table read I'm used to it's Tiz I'm used what's it called again metropolitans you could check it on IG that's pretty cool cuz then you're going to absorb all of that right when you guys start shooting and then I feel like that is going to inspire you to do your ████ I feel like
23:42 and you know what's tight half of the people I met that are JK fanss too that's it's ████ cool you know what else is TI like you'll do anything now that you don't have barbell but put more time into JK it's because JK is its own beautiful honestly we can't I don't think I think it's The Perfect Storm the way it is let me stick up for him for a sec JK out of the closet came from his brain now that he's not in barbell that's a fact true but at never but it created a ████ train wreck in the back end like a ████ ruin now we'll never hit our quota we're always going to be chasing never hitting quarters we ended up losing money doing it it's pretty cool but it was a great series exactly that's his brainchild because he had free time so credit we need more of that thanks B
