2:30 working out a commercial gym and he's doing the whole thing of VoiceOver as like a cowboy and I'm like what the ████ is this guy doing he's talking about yeah man I'm about to HP them dead lifs and he's just like going crazy for like 15 minutes I was like this dude's a psycho but he was Lifting for real but I was hearing was Psycho um psycho cu no one's doing it I was like who what the ████ is he talking about he an Asian dude deadlifting and I hear I hear ████ a cowboy gar Brooks narrating it uh and then I think we just became we're like emailing buddies for a bit his house do a better Western accent I think that was bad that was bad no he does no he does do a really good it's probably way better than mine cuz he always does the the he's like those people from China he he does that better than most people was Sample sample China China so I think uh I came down
3:22 once or twice and did a seminar at Barber Brigade and one of those trips he invited me on here and that's probably when I started you had no idea no clue why did I think you were a fan before you came here I don't know I didn't even watch YouTube I've never watched YouTube in my life so you never seen any of our original crazy ████ you remember I was at your house with G and you guys were showing me all that old stuff okay so when you first saw that what did you think cuz you know Bart as a fitness Guru yeah and and we were already friends I already knew you personally by the time he started showing me this I'm like and when you saw the video were you like yeah these guys are just idiots yeah you show me the original uh I like that yeah the original videos then you show me some of the like music videos yeah cuz even as I think we're just beyond the generation that really watched YouTube you know we all like created it but now people watch it like Netflix I never really watched it I watched it for basketball highlights and
4:13 then like Usher music videos I used to watch it for fight videos yeah stuff like that bum fights but then you find yourself at Bart's house trapped having to watch old videos that he made what he showed all the homies you know he started showing your videos and and then I looked around like oh man the whole world you showed video I always I always put the homies on yeah like drix and all those guys like he just started showing like anybody that did YouTube YouTube dude I think my first video of you that I saw you watch I just saw one video at the time and it was uh and now I'm thinking about it it was you you had braces I think and you were yeah yeah yeah and you were just you were doing your accent in like a a room somewhere and like I think you were making like make doing songs we used to make a lot of music yeah and I just remember being like dude dude this accent's nuts like this is wild I was like this is different than
5:03 Kev Jumba that's what I remember thinking cuz at the time that was my only reference was like Asian YouTube was Kev jump and I was like oh I guess all the Asian dudes are doing going on YouTube and then and then I was like oh that's did Bart have a tissue on his nose cuz he had a nose bleed he might have I just remember him wearing a hat and like a furry hat yeah and I remember I think you were in that video too me was it both you guys oh was there funk in the background were we teaching people how to dance I just remember the accents and you guys were just doing silly stuff and I was like dude this is ████ wild this was a wild time I remember did you judge us at the time yeah in that moment if I told Little Nick I was like little Nick these guys you're going to one day work with them would you have believed it no absolutely not You' be like you like there's no way I'll work with these guys who like have made money off reinforcing Asian stereotypes I was like that's not me
5:54 dude no but I remember thinking the accents were funny but I just remember being like this is ████ wild like this is a wild wow but it's a trip almost every video we made afterwards I always go like why do we do that and then I saw the skits and I remember liking some of the skits and CU I remember seeing I remember seeing like David's videos of him like doing the commercials the Nike commercials or whatever I was like this is cool like ball handles this stuff make kind of sense sometimes and then I saw you guys do one together that was the one I we talked about where you um you're trying to give him money back or whatever yeah yeah did you see the car wash I don't know if it's a skid or music video that like scarred my brain what was the car wash I don't know I think I saw both y'all's dicks we chill with the homies in the car wash car wash no that's car pool I don't know both you guys were wear oh he's talking about the one where it's like I think there's hot chicks wash oh and then we get H we swap them
6:44 and then we come out and then we're in like daisy dukes and then like yeah maybe our balls came out yeah ████ was flying I was scrubbing the ████ whole car with my nuts were you guys in the G Style video with uh David no we had our own you guys had your own one by the way that video straight up wouldn't work now because Bart's too hot yep it was better what BART did that's what BART did it was better doesn't Nick kind of look like young Joe right now I like young Joe I like young UNC ball a little bit a little bit if I had a G-Shock on my wrist you know or is that racist just looks like you're wearing a ████ shower curtain dude I'm wearing my boyfriend's shirt dude I just slipped over I remember our first standup comedy show was at the Laugh Factory oh my and it's crazy cuz people usually like work their way up to the Laugh Factory oh no
7:35 but our buddy was like Hey we're doing asan night you guys are crushing it bring your fan base so we were these characters and then we had this whole set that we IM rolling up to Sunset Boulevard we're going to take my girlfriend on a nice little date Friday night night and me and Bart had this idea that every content that we had to make had to be deep so then it had to have like a ████ message right and I love early tubers like that it was like and I think our message was like gratefulness to being in America and ████ and then Bart had a whole monologue about drinking toilet water this sounds and that was clean I remember doing that show and then um at
8:27 the Laugh Factory on stage and then looking out into the audience and there's just people that are just like like what the ████ is going on dude an early tuber mindset too you guys are leaving there and you're like that message was ████ good dud ████ killed I remember we talking about recycling we literally did talk about recycling or some ████ I I remember we did some ████ where Bart was acting like a owl yeah yeah like we're on the we're on stage and then Bart's like woo and I was like what why were we acting like owls I forgot but there was like yeah there was like a whole front row and half of them were like this and then like the red light came on but I'm like hell no my set's not done yet and we just kept
9:17 going strong would like gave you guys the courage to do ████ like that yeah that's crazy I think low IQ low IQ not much up here not much up here yeah yeah I low IQ yeah that helps I remember I had a in intense burning desire to make content that I had a vision for and it and no matter how stupid it was it wasn't stupid you're going to follow through yeah it was well in my head it was so stupid that I had to do it sometimes too it was like needing to fart how long were how long were you guys doing these Char how long were you guys doing these characters before you guys started doing like the the JK skits like the like the I think almost immediately immediately yeah it actually started because um I was ████ around one day and then I made a face on my chin and I flipped the camera upside
10:08 down and you remember there was people doing that on YouTube for a minute of course and then um it was like puppetry yeah yeah yeah and I had a story about how like my dog died and I had to bury it and I was crying and ████ and then Bart reacted with one of his characters back to me and he thought it was funny which character was it the Uncle Sam character and then and we were just doing this to make each other laugh like we didn't know I thought YouTube was like Photo bucket photo upload photos for a while was yeah and then you can use that use the HTML code to embed into like Myspace or whatever yeah I didn't know it was a platform people shared stuff so I would send things to Joe and he would send things to me and then they started getting like hundreds of views and I'm like what the ████ and people are like you got to make more you got to make more and I'm like what the ████ we
10:58 made a just films the channel and then instead of posting it on our own channels we started doing that and then people who are out there who were like I'm dumb but there's not dumb content for me you know they had they had a home they had a home yeah they found a home you know they saw they're like they're like going through a forest it's really dark and they just see a little light on the on the top of the hill you dumb wait oh they're dumb you know what blows my mind though so like this was a whole era right like 2007 till I want to say 2013 or whatever right during that time all those like views that we got like all these videos they got like millions of views right now and then being like 39 years old now and traveling to like Canada even like to Austria and whatever and then I was in the Czech Republic and this was the
11:48 weirdest experience is there's a Vietnamese community in the Czech Republic that all went to like English school together and they watched our content wow wow and they speak their accents just like you guys Uncle Sam chin ████ crazy they learned English from you guys yeah I got recognized in Sweden one time on a ████ Subway and I was like oh my God I'm the ████ man but it's just crazy how like the world watched our content that's a trip and they all connected to it somehow and I was like dude I don't even know what they're connecting to though not much up here the a lot of people laughed at us and I think that's one of our first mind-blowing experiences when we were doing this we don't know what was going on and like you know just the onset of YouTube it was just a huge like
12:39 movement and phenomenon that was going on and we did like a meet and greet at Tasty which is like a boba shop and we didn't know if it was going to be five people it was our first meeting our first one and then the director working with that at that time he drove so the I think the meeting group was like 12: or 1 and he drove by at 10:00 a.m. he goes hey there's already people here like at like 9:00 a.m. and the line is already going out the door or whatever and we're like what the ████ this is crazy yeah and our friend at the time was an off-duty cop so he was standing there with a gun like treating us like we're Britney Spears and we're we and then we're wearing ████ like this isn't that crazy yeah and it I don't know what was happening how quick did you like diversify cuz you obviously went to like uh uh AA fiels JK party took a while not until even JK news all that stuff was probably 2010 2011 that's pretty quick
13:31 though no no 200 was it news like just like a try out thing you guys were doing ████ arounds and this is the main Channel now all the other ones aren't alive anymore just kidding party was first a behind the scenes channel to support Just Kidding Films cuz Just Kidding Films was like it was the sketches right and just kidding party was behind the scenes to connect with the fan base in a real way so they can see how we created the content like this office is still structured the way we ran the business so that room where K is in it's all black because that was the editor's room so they could just be like dark and then color correct do all that the room that Joe's in that was like the rider's room so we ride in there and then back there if you guys look at that window it's still technically the prop and Equipment room so we have wigs whatever but before that was a viewing room so basically it's just a ████ ton of wasted real estate right now it's a Production Studio back then but now it's
14:22 I guess wasted real EST it's like being it's like being surrounded by old relics yeah like history you know things we don't use anymore but what blew up my mind though is like um we had that meet and greet in Irvine recently and it was our first meet and greet within since lockdown so like 3 years we haven't seen the public and it felt like oh yeah cuz we're doing the college tour before danger boys at UCI there like 400 people to them shout to them we did a whole we did a whole pilot called the danger boys two guys and now we're the careful boys yeah we're the careful boys chint but those guys are dangerous these guys are careful now but I was like 180 it was the same feeling for me cuz tasty was like oh ████ and then June be meet and greet was like oh ████ there's a
15:13 whole ████ line out here but the cool experience there was that there were some ride or dies from the beginning like they've been watching since like 2008 and they'll be like I've been a fan since those days and they're like man I ████ rode with you for so long these are my kids they're your next Generation fans we watch JK news together and I'm like this is Joe this is Bart this is Tiff we don't really talk to her we're working on a name change we's see what happens I'm a writer I'm a wrer but literally like hell of family members all different ages there's new generation they're like oh I go to Irvine down the street um I'm a college student I just found you guys a year ago
16:03 so I'm just catching up on all the other channels you guys have and I'm like damn a lot of my like employees and members are like college age are like 18 to 23 and they're all like huge fans like either grew up because an older sibling watched y'all or whatever you met them a bunch of them obviously when you come into town and that kind of blows my mind that's kind of like how I learned JK was like JK cuz I didn't really know like B's like oh yeah I have this other show you want to go on I was like yeah but then now like every everybody I cross paths with and a lot of people in the powerlifting world like they obviously know Barber G but they're like yeah dude I watched everything JK Uncle Sam like I watched all that stuff going up it's so mindful yeah it's crazy but this fo's a legend in two places he single-handedly brought Asians to ████ powerlifting for real before it was just white dudes that do Trucking stuff yeah it was just white dudes that hated Asians and now there's a lot of Asians in there brought all of China
16:53 yeah they brought him there on purpose and then all the white trucker guys are like this ████ brought the CCP to the powerlifting world not damn Chinese as Bart would say yeah Bart says it so everybody's conflicted emotionally I know right that's true Bart does say at lunch he's like I connect really well with those people sometimes I do ████ wild man but yeah I guess well this was actually a gift from my buddy who owns merch Labs the the the company that prints out all of our shirts and he just wanted to do this for me because he thought it'd be funny it's a DP ████ and then I posted it and all the fans were like yo I need one and I was like oh ████ I didn't even know that you guys remember cuz in my head I'm like these are all new JK news fans they don't even remember this era so this one's for
17:44 everybody out there who said yo print these shirts out I need to get one so now you can get one yourself very cool and I thought because I'm ignorant that Ryan made it because everything cool comes from Ryan but then I realized that that's that's a meme around here and that this nice guy actually did design this and we appreciate him thank you guys I still feel like Ryan has something to do with it how old how old is like Uncle chin now uncle chin in real life yeah he's probably like 46 no no no Uncle chin like when you created until now 16 years 16 oh so he was in the beginning years7 so he's old enough for kisses you oh yeah hell yeah have you seen old enough for kisses who here we go here we go I'm excited for you check this out so um you fan of Clint Eastwood he's a legend do you like Clint Eastwood no that's your name girl Amelia
