0:00 I want to wrote to like Bruce Lee, but he's dead. >> [laughter] >> He was dead when I was in fourth, fifth grade. >> I'm saying. >> You ████ >> Hello. Welcome to another episode. >> [laughter] >> Oh, were you talking to me? >> You careful boy. We're going to be talking today a little bit about some things, but first here's THE TOPIC. >> WHY ARE YOU SUCH A GOOD Jewish lady? >> It's Pam Pam Ferrito. >> We used to do topics all the time. Now we just chat. >> [laughter] >> The um the thing I was going to ask is are there any famous people, whether they're like A-list celebrities or just >> A-list? >> [laughter] >> people you admire >> Woody Allen. He's number one. He's my favorite. My
0:51 favorite celebrity couple, Woody Allen and the the little the young girl, the one with the snub. The Chinese one. >> [laughter] >> Talk about talk about couple goals. >> That is Woody Allen's wife. >> They're still together. >> [laughter] >> Is she still considered adopted? >> After all these years? >> I think it's a little bit of both. >> You know that's true love. >> [laughter] >> Are there any celebrities you ever either wrote to or DM'd that never wrote you back? >> Red Hot Chili Peppers. >> You did? >> Cuz we had to. We had to in like ████ fifth grade. >> Red Hot Chili [laughter] Peppers? You had to DM them? >> No, we had to like write a letter to like somebody. >> Who can read that ████ dude? >> And you it was like fan mail, so like I remember there was like a book there was a book I did I did to them and Hootie and the Blowfish. >> Hootie and the Blowfish were too good to
1:41 write you back? >> Hootie and the >> What did you write to them? >> No, I don't I don't remember like >> Fear, give it away, give it away, give it away now. I can't stop listening to your album. >> [laughter] >> Yeah, it was just like I really love Californication. I was just like just weird ████ like that. >> it. I wonder when they're going to write you back. >> on the other side were my two favorite songs, I I'm your biggest fan. >> Aw, that's really cute that you liked them that much. >> That's hella cute. >> But it was an assignment you had to >> Yeah, it was an assignment. You had to like write like a fan letter or some ████ that would be mailed out and use the postal service or whatever the ████ >> Right, right. Yeah, so it probably just went in a pile. >> Yeah. [laughter] What about uh you ever DM anybody that like never said nothing back to you? >> Sliding in the DMs? >> Yeah, I mean it don't have to be like a hitting on a girl, but like just a a person that you thought was cool like that did something cool where you're like, "Hey, man." >> I have for like some like collaborative
2:31 purposes and also just to give props on some ████ >> And you ever been ghosted after like or no response? >> Oh, for sure. I mean of course there's going to be times where you get no response. And also for the longest time I didn't know with IG that like people had to like signing into a DM, you have to check hidden or requests >> yeah. >> back then. And then like I remember when I finally discovered it like all these bookings and ████ like that that I missed. >> It It breaks my heart, dude. I missed out so many opportunities. >> Yeah, so like at that time I'm sure I also ghosted so many people. So at that point I didn't I didn't really take it so like I was like, "Oh, maybe all these people who didn't respond to me also don't check their s███." >> Yeah, I wonder why sometimes it goes to hidden request and like how do they choose, you know? Like do they think that it's spam? >> I don't know. Cuz sometimes a a message will go to hidden and sometimes a
3:21 message will go to just regular. >> Or maybe it's like lack of mutuals or something, so they just think it's not someone that would know you. >> It sucks cuz I be losing out on life with that ████ dude. So that was that was a thing, but uh But yeah, I I think especially in in our world that where we've been constantly like collaborating with people and just like reaching out and stuff like that. I think it's a lot more I'm not I don't know if I can relate to like uh just a sliding into the DMs for somebody and like feeling a sting of ghosting or no response because that's just a normal thing to me. Like you might reach out to a client or a brand or a thing or a social thing, you know, and like you get nothing all the time. So, I'm super desensitized to being ghosted or whatever. >> We once had this mission in Quest Crew. Like, I I think it was it was very early in our whole thing. It was like after ABDC and we were like, "What do you want to do? What's your dream job now that
4:12 like dance crews are like kind of getting work?" And we made this I don't think I ever told you this. We had this like meeting and we made this conscious decision that we wanted to tour with Black Eyed Peas. >> Oh, dude, that would be so fun. >> But it was based on nothing. It was just based on the fact that we were like, "That sounds cool. All right, let's make it our mission." So, then what we did was we made a whole separate set, like a different piece where it was to nothing but Black Eyed Peas music all in a row to try to get their attention. And then we were like, I guess we were going to try to send it to them or like whatever the avenues are to reach them and show this to them. >> Shout out tabs. >> And then all we got was uh somebody had said, "Oh, they don't hire guys." >> Oh. >> That's [snorts] it. And that's as far as that went. >> you mean like one of the people in their
5:02 team or just >> I forgot how we got word of that, but they were like, "Oh, they don't tour with other dudes. They just hire girls cuz they're they're guys. So, like they're not going to surround themselves with guy dancers." >> [laughter] >> But LMFAO did. >> That's different though. >> Oh. >> But I guess like Black Eyed Peas already had a thing like that where they I don't know if it's true, but then someone told us like, "Oh, yeah, it'll never work." >> What if they were just hating on you guys and then they cockblocked you? >> Who did? >> Oh, no. I mean, I guess it makes sense cuz we looked and we didn't see any either. It'd be like Pitbull. Why would Pitbull have a bunch of dudes? You know what I mean? It's like if you're already the guy, you know, unless your brand is something different, but yeah, they just we ran that set for I feel like >> You worked so hard when you could have got that information earlier. >> Yeah, we were trying to rack up views on like the shows that we did that had the Black Eyed Peas Black Ey Peas thing Wait, say like that. Black Ey Peas thing. [laughter] And then uh we're like, "Oh man, they're
5:52 going to think it's so tight. It's like such a great fit. It's such a good idea." And then just ████ nothing. Just never, yeah. >> Did any other group aside from LMFAO go like, "Guys, want to dance with me?" And then you're like, "No. [snorts] No No Justin Timberlake, your music sucks." >> No, the only other time that we did that It wasn't some big artist, but we we did like a small tour with this like kind of Asian rapper guy. And And it went ████ horrible. >> Really? What was bad about it? >> Because we were because they did that ████ where they This happens a lot with with tour dates where you you kind of have to ████ I don't know. There's no trick behind You just got to know this is happening to you. But sometimes they're paying you today's money with tomorrow's profit. >> Yeah. >> Where they're like It's like a thing where like they're only able to pay you because of they sold tickets at the next place.
6:44 And then if they don't sell tickets at the next place, guess who's not getting paid? You. And they don't tell you that until they don't sell them tickets at the next place. So that's what happened to us. By the time we did like the whatever cities by the time we got to the last city, they were like, "Oh, we don't have any money now." And then they were like, "Okay, but you still have to go on." And we were like, "We're not going to go on if you don't pay us." And then the club owner was like, "All right, I'm just going to make an announcement to the club that you guys refuse to go on because there's not enough people here." And that's what they did. They ████ us, yeah. >> Woah. >> Yeah, so that's It's one of those things >> What was the rapper's name? >> Uh The Run was his name. >> Not around anymore, huh? >> Nah, he probably died. >> Mhm. Jeez. >> Too much gangster ████ >> I don't know, yeah. He sucked. That was ████ up, but But he didn't do that. The club did that. >> Club did >> It wasn't him. >> And that club is gone. >> It's just he's the one who decided to do that business model where he doesn't
7:34 have all the money up front. And then the club was the one who are sleazeballs and they're like, "Okay, well, I'm not going to you know, this is my club and I you guys agreed to do this. So, we got caught in the middle of their drama and we end up paying the price because, you know, management's supposed to be ████ know that that could happen and when it does there's a contingency. We didn't have that. >> ████ >> Yeah. But, that was our dream LMFAO or LMFAO was like the ████ obviously that that skyrocketed bigger than we could ever think, but we didn't we really were like black eyed peas is going to think this is so tight and they couldn't probably couldn't give a ████ dude. >> Well, you know, you guys weren't chicks. >> Yeah. >> They weren't even looking. >> There's there are a lot of those instances where like uh we'll do some stuff and then like somebody really dope will like like our post or even maybe like message us to be like, "Yo, this is nasty." or like send a comment. And then we're like, "Yo,
8:26 like we'd love to collaborate." blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and then they just ghost. >> Yeah, that happens a lot. >> can't get mad cuz you're just like, "Ah, well, they they showed love and they're we're on their radar, I guess." >> That's as far as he wanted to go, maybe. That happened to us when we were competing as you guys. We wanted to use the Macklemore Can't Hold Us song. >> uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> They didn't give a ████ They didn't try to clear that ████ Macklemore was not He couldn't give a ████ Maybe we weren't Seattle enough, but we sent the whole thing. They they tried to clear it. He just said, "No." straight up. >> Damn. Thrift shop guy. >> he was he was on that indie ████ so maybe it was like it had something to >> Maybe, yeah. But, I felt like we were indie. Like we were even though we're on MTV, we're that's not the ████ number one show. And I also thought that like we'd done enough to kind of like blow his song up at least additionally with the way we used it. >> Yeah, with the dance, yeah.
9:16 >> Yeah, and and then yeah, we got nothing back. Nothing at all. He just said, "Nah, pass." >> What a lame ass Macklemore. Just just go back to the thrift shop. I wouldn't dance to that even if you paid me. >> Yeah, but it is funny when like when you write to somebody and they don't write you back, it does make you less of a fan even though you're not owed a response. You know what I mean? Even though they don't owe you ████ Like when you don't get it, it does make you feel like, "Ah, man, what a ████ that sucks." >> I'm trying to think of like fighters that I would write to, but I think they would just be mean to me. >> [laughter] >> I know they wouldn't, but like you have a fear that like they'd be like, "Shut up, loser." That's what they're going to say to you. They just responded that to me. I'm trying to think of someone I reached out to, but all the people that I wanted to write letters to as a kid, that were my heroes, they were dead already. >> Like who? ████ Bruce Lee? I couldn't
10:07 write to him. >> Andrew Jackson? >> Yeah, Andrew Jackson. My favorite >> Herbert Hoover. >> [laughter] >> No, like I wanted to >> Herbert Hoover, thank you for your vacuums. >> If I have If I had >> Pol Pot? >> project Oh, Pol Pot's good. Should wrote him a nice little letter, dude. >> Who'd you write it? >> If you had my power I probably If I When I was your age, when I was like fourth, fifth grade, I would have wrote to like Bruce Lee, but he's dead. >> He was dead when I was in fourth, fifth grade. >> That's what I'm saying. >> You ████ >> [laughter] >> But then as as a fourth grader As a fourth grader the teacher would be like, you have to write to somebody who's alive, and I'd be like, "How come I can't write it to Bruce Lee?" >> Okay, so Dick, you have to write to somebody alive. Who are you writing to right now? >> Nobody, Dick. >> Right now? >> Nobody. >> You can't slide into anybody's DM right now just to be like, "Hey man, love your work or whatever love your boobs, whatever." >> Love your boobs? Oh, that's different
10:57 then. I have a lot of people I can write to. >> Eva Longoria? >> [laughter] >> That's a good question. >> Salma Hayek? >> Nah, I wouldn't write That's a rude I I would have never said it to Salma Hayek. About her boobs? That's crazy, dude. That's ridiculous. >> Oh, dude, Salma Hayek follows Smac. >> Really? >> Yeah. Just recently, too. >> What? >> That's a ████ trip. That's so cool. >> Yeah, and every time she shows me another celebrity follows her, I'm like, >> What's the craziest one you saw besides Salma Hayek? >> The last week, Jennifer Aniston. >> What? >> Which is huge for us because we watch Friends almost every day. >> What, dude? >> Yeah, it's always on. >> Smac is Is she Is she going to start making some friends content? Which one do you think it is? It's the bird one or the like does she know >> Yeah, it's probably the bird one to be honest, yeah. >> Cuz some of those videos go super they're viral already. So, they're they're looking at it oh, that's so dope and then they probably follow her page.
11:47 >> Funny because she's not she's never been even one time uh hey, just reaching out saw you you followed me let's do something together not one time. And she's got her celebrities on her ████ are ████ everybody. Taika Waititi follows her like all like anyone you can think of just ████ starts following her and I'm like you don't want to message nobody and she's like no. And I'm like damn. I would be like >> She has all the power, dude. >> Yeah, dude. Everybody that I it's everybody I like, too. She's like the celebrity celebrity. Who who's one we were like let's let's hit them up let's hit them up let's hit them >> Yeah, who'd you message from her?
