0:05 What's up, y'all? Welcome back to another sick ass episode of the Camp four boys where hey, you ever work in a group setting in anything? Could be project at school, could be a company, you know, business, whatever. You make a mistake that cost your group big. Oh. Yep. I'm not even going to say what it might is. You guys go first. You mean deleting the book? I don't even need to say it. Oh, ████ Have you messed up that hard? In a group setting? I think I've messed up a lot for myself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm in that boat. But like I don't remember when I've done anything that was detrimental to other people. Yeah. Besides getting canceled on this channel and then like other people have to deal

0:56 with it. I mean that's a pretty That's a pretty relevant one. That's a That's a big one. That's a big one. No, like I just feel like when it comes to group class, like anything with a group I'm hyper like I cannot ████ up. I feel like a group keeps me more accountable than like what Joe said, if I was by myself. If it's my own ████ I'm like yeah, whatever. But if it's someone else's ████ I feel like I'm on my best behavior cuz I'm not trying to ruin nothing. Me, too. Why, you ████ some ████ up before? No, it's just a good question, man. Yeah, it is a good question. I mean, let's go with Ken. You deleted something though. Let's start with Ken and let's get all the details and the specifics of which files you deleted. It was the episode with uh Bobby Hundreds. That's a ████ That's a big Hey, bro.

1:46 one angle It was this angle. Um My angle. Yeah. And it the the Okay, this is basically what happened. I'm like changing the cards, right? And this is before I had my new system that I do now. So, normally I would take out the cards, dump the footage, check the footage, then put a new set of cards. What happened that time, because I didn't figure that out yet, was when you would tell me to come out, I would grab new cards, put them on the table, change the cards, and then I got it mixed up without realizing it, because I was like either in a conversation or whatever. And then the next step for me would be to format the cards. And then I formatted one camera, and as soon as I hit format, I'm like, wait, is this the right card? You formatted before checking it? Yep. Oh, that's a bad step.

2:37 Yeah, so yeah. So, for me, my issue was not paying attention and the process that I had, it left a lot of room for errors like that. And you were high. I was not high. I was normal. And you were drunk. I wasn't. Good thing Bobby Hundred is easy to book, too, so. Yeah. But the thing is like he's the head of Disney now or whatever. easy to bring him on any single time. After that happened, I think the future times where things would get deleted wasn't really on me. It was just like either somebody didn't hit record or some ████ like that. It's just just like other things, but that's kind of hard to avoid, too, I think. It happens here and there, but other than that, that was like the only time where I was in a group work setting where I was like, oh, ████ I really ████ up, you know? But then I I try to like make the most of

3:29 it. I try to like save it and whatever, and just never never let that happen again. So. Shout outs to Bobby, though. Bobby is the head of Disney Global Merchandising now. Which is ████ insane. It's a big ████ deal, man. ████ insane. How did he get that? Um, I think How do you get a job like that? probably because he has done a lot of licensing through like the last two decades. And he actually has his hands in a lot of stuff like um IP management to nonprofits to like he does so much across the board and like the people that he like he works with like Gary V and like he just like rubs shoulders with like the highest levels of people. And so I think it probably was a natural fit for him to take his talents from

4:20 like a streetwear brand onto something that is much more like um widespreading. Do you think he thinks it's the happiest place on Earth now that he works for them? Oh, that I don't know, but I know he's been a Disney fan forever. I mean I think it's a really smart move on on their part too because like they you know like you see you see what like Virgil did with like Louis Vuitton. And then Pharrell following those footsteps. You see how like Ronnie Fieg from Kith is like also merchandising have for like you know in the New York Knicks or um or just maybe a bunch of New York ████ in general. Yeah. Um and it's like you you're just seeing these streetwear cultural influencers that also have a deep rolodex of collaboration potential. And then for Disney that makes sense. They're already doing licensing collaborations all the time. But like if you just do a

5:10 collaboration with some like XYZ Chinese company on some furry it's it's really just not going to bring any new interesting attention from the youth and like cross-cultural like swag. Like Bobby Hundreds is going to kill it. He's going to do some unique stuff that's going to make headlines. And like and he's got he's head of merchandising for everything like from licensing. So they'll be working on like video games and like That's so cool. Yeah, the stuff he has his hands in is like remember Family Style? That giant food festival that he would throw? Like that that it was like a big ass event that would happen, you know? He'd give you free slippers. And he sold that to Complex Con. It's it's just like his hands are in so much crazy ████ He sold it to Complex Con? Yeah, they sold it to Complex Con. So, now the Family Style is Complex Con's thing. They He just does things the next level, and it's dope. And then even the name Family Style is too. Like, it keeps within like

6:00 the Asian roots still. Yeah. And then he would have like the craziest sponsors and ████ Like, I went to one of his parties once, and uh it was just like a last-minute thing he threw together. I forgot what it was for. Um but I was I sat at the table with one of the uh reps from Stella, like Stella Artois, the ████ beer. And I was like, cuz I remember he messaged a bunch people, and he was like, "I'm just going to throw this thing together." I forgot what the reason was. It was an important reason, but I'm stupid, I don't remember. But it was like, uh "I want to throw I only got 2 weeks to throw this ████ together, so I'm just going to throw it together." And he rents Soho House in ████ um uh downtown LA, which is already a hard-ass venue to get. So, his connections are deep as ████ The whole thing is sponsored by ████ uh Stella, so they had free alcohol drinks for everybody. And then he has like food,

6:51 and he thought it would be cool to do a night market version of all the heavy hitters in all the Asian food circles. So, Mama Lu's was there, like ████ uh those Korean fried wings were there. So, everyone kind of had like a mini Imagine like a min a a night market of all the heavy hitters that everyone goes to in like K-Town, SGV, whatever. And then he had like a bunch of speakers come on and stuff, and I was like, "What the ████ This ████ organizes ████ in 2 weeks?" And I remember sitting next to the Stella person, and I was like, like, "How much does it cost to like bring you guys here?" He goes, "No, we sponsored it." "Bobby calls us, we just come here, so we provide free drinks for everyone." And I'm like, Wow, Bobby just calls us. That's ████ can move a mountain if he needs to." He's ████ crazy. He's got the Midas touch, man. ████ gold. Yeah.

7:41 It's going to be cool to see what he does with that position now. It's going to be cool to see like how that how he grows that brand cuz it's going to be nuts. You're right. I didn't even think about all that. It's so funny that instead of like us talking about our f███-ups, we're talking about his successes. No, but it is just fast it is just like Cuz it's more ████ It's pretty epic. Yeah, it's way more fascinating. you see when you see him like get that achievement and then when you realize that like this fool was sitting in this chair like you know, just talking like shooting the ████ with us. You're like Yep, and I deleted his footage. We got there. What's up? No, actually you're real G. I saw that post. I was trying to bring him back. But you know, obviously when you work with a giant brand like Disney he's like honestly they said no interviews until like everything is finalized. Wow. So Disney don't ████ around cuz they don't want anything to even have a

8:31 potential potential of getting leaked. So he was like I can't actually do any interviews. Makes a lot of sense. like dude this is ████ epic. Did he tell Disney that it was JK? He is though. How do they know? I should Yeah, tell him tell him. No, no, no, don't do that because I think Disney's going to be like especially Why do you say that? I don't even understand why you Yeah, what's what could go wrong? Like it's going to be a sick interview, but he's going to delete the footage. Yeah, yeah, it's don't waste your time. Yeah, don't waste your time. Yeah. Don't worry nothing nothing scandalous is going to get out cuz it's going to get deleted right away. Yeah, don't worry. That's just crazy. Damn. What about like school projects? Do you guys remember anything from that? What do you say Wayne? I've never ████ a group like that. Yeah, like group I don't know man. I think I'm trying to think like It's weird cuz I work in a lot of group

9:21 projects. I don't really do things by myself. I feel like my best projects are group projects. Yeah. Dude, you know what sucks is when you're in a group and then there's always that one person that ████ up for everybody else and then you have to do all the work to like make up for that. That's when it sucks. The other way around. You know what I mean? Like you have you have a team that's supposed to do A, B, and C, and for some reason there's always that one person that just like doesn't do ████ and expects everyone else to do it. think that is in our group, Ken? Who do you think it is? Just out of everyone that comes to this office pretty consistently. Dude, I don't want to point any fingers at you, but it's it's got to be you, man. the most porridge, and I show up the least. I know you don't believe that. Give us a real answer. Huh? Dude, it's got to be Nick. What? For sure Nick.

10:11 to play safe. For sure Nick, dude. All uh what is it called? All laid on Nick. bottles of water here. Yep. You eat the most food. I take the most poops. Nick's I think I'm I'm surpassing Joe. So I just waste them Yeah, it's probably me then. Okay. Dude, it's got to be you. It's not definitely not Steve. Steve. Cuz he's not here enough. Anthony. It's definitely not Anthony. Like Okay, honest answer. I think like if Joe didn't hit home runs from time to time, it would for sure be Joe. Joe for Joe what? Joe he'd be like just like sometimes like you know you're trying to keep the flow going. He'll go take a ████ He'll be doing double news. He'll just be yelling random ████ There will be a prompt and he'll change the subject because he just feels like it. If he doesn't like a topic, he's not going to talk for a long time.

11:01 He is the biggest derailer, that's And then he ████ hits a home run, and then you're like, "Motherfucker." Maybe it was worth it. There'll be a lull in one video at like the end of the day, and then something Joe's like, "Have you heard about this though?" And we're like, "Oh ████ THIS IS PERFECT." YOU JUST ASKED me to be honest right now. Yeah, you're like, "Oh s███." That video gets a million views or some ████ Bro, like the the the history of kung fu karate, bro. I didn't realize how crazy See ████ went. That ████ went nuts. I got to give credit to the way Ryan edited that though. He made it so concise and entertaining and it was just straight to the point. You want to know what's even crazier? I had a random person tell me the history of karate randomly afterwards and it was the same beats about you told it. They must have watched it. Yeah, they must have watched it.

11:51 So the funny repeated it back to me and I was like Funny does he know that you were in the I don't know, dude. I don't know. I don't know. Going into the comments of that post and then seeing people being like Joe's actually right and then going into the history of it too and like Yeah, and it's just like that's ████ funny. So many people passionate about the history of karate. Like who would have thought that would have got that many views and like My fascination is not the history of it. My fascination is like Joe's ability to be genius in one realm and ████ in the other. I think we all have that though. We all have that. That's insane. Mark of a true genius though. They can't be good at everything but they with the thing that they are good at is super like It's like this guy's like educating like millions of people on like the history of karate and like we're sitting here calling him ████ boy from time to time. And I feel like Joe like answered the question like this. He was like um and

12:42 then he gets up and then explains and you're like oh ████ Or or Joe is like he he's at like the world karate ████ convention teaching black belts about the history and everyone is like yes sensei yes sensei. And then he walks away from the podium and he's in a white belt and a gi. LIKE WAIT WHAT THE ████ I THOUGHT THAT GUY WAS SOME ████ RED belt or some ████ or some crazy body like His name is Masato. Dude that guy is ████ a white belt walking away he's teaching us all this history. Sometimes there's um formula Well, there's formulas to everything like a good hit song, a viral video, like even with shorts and how you present it you go with straight to premise and the question and then you go boom boom boom, right? So sometimes the way my brain works is like for one, I create an a a person that is

13:34 allowed to go and experiment with what I say. So, like the way you guys know me on camera is just an exaggerated version of who I really am, but then sometimes I'm super ████ mellow, right? And then my brain will turn off until it gives me Literally, MY BRAIN WILL LITERALLY TURN OFF. Do you have you know the solar-powered calculators and you cover the solar panel? The zero disappears. The zero's gone. So, like that instance when we were talking with uh Andy and everything, right? I was able to see the opportunity and give myself a layout and layup and a slam dunk. Wow. Cuz I saw oh, here comes that moment of

14:26 this is a good setup for this story. Let me start with a funny premise and a question and then go into line by line the the rest of it. And I that's all it would work when we're playing cuz then it's at the end of the day like people are being entertained, they want a story, right? You can't you got to construct a story in a way that's still juicy, but still entertainment, but then my character that's telling the story is a ████ Mhm. I I get that last part, but you fine, man. I I thought that was great. I thought it was just But it's it's much ████ part. But I do it in layman's, right? Cuz there's a way that you can probably do it in a more historically factual way without curse words and it's more boring, but I just think it's so much more entertaining like drunk history.

15:16 Yeah. Like you can explain a story, but you can do it in a way where people all can understand and it's fun cuz it's like you're gossiping. To me it's like when you get like when you get like possessed by some like spirit and you get like a premonition and then once like the spirit like leaves you you're like oh you black out you're like what happened? That's like you might be like completely outside of the video like you're like not in this room and then you're like historical fact and then later on you're like I don't care about this sleep mode No that's true I get that. parts are when Joe is turned off and then he'll ask a series of five questions that literally their answers were first given. Oh no that's true. The children's ages were five and three and they're like wait how old were the kids? AND I'M NOT EVEN PLAYING FOR THAT ████

16:07 That's real right there. That's why it's so funny when the brain is off. Oh yeah. Dude but when the brain is off and it's apparent it's pretty funny too. It's also a form of its own entertainment. I remember I don't know if it was you or someone editing um it and they did a countdown of Joe losing focus in three two one and then you you just see me like and I'm just looking around and I start ████ with ████ The ones where Joe's staring at the bottom right corner and he's just like and Ryan or someone whoever is sitting next to him is saying something crazy and like the focus at Joe. I do him like man what is Joe thinking about right now? I'm like he's probably thinking about some ████ on Jhubie or something he's like Dude yeah. Those are good. It's like your body don't move. So it's

16:57 like my my screen is frozen but Ryan's talking you know. Yeah. I think that's pretty productive for this type of group though. Like just the randomness is I think it's needed you know. Dude the number one thing that's so small but a host will always see this is literally Joe be right here and then it'll be like, all right, three, two, one. And he's like, I want to get some tacos. And he's like, I got to make I got to make a coffee. Yeah, I got to make a coffee. Like, wait. It's like he hears the timer in order to make his disruption. Yeah. THREE, TWO, ONE. DISRUPTION. THE FUNNIEST PART WILL BE LIKE after one of the hosts say, all right, guys, we got a lot of videos to go through today.

17:48 So, we need to keep a tight ship today. All right, guys? And everyone's like, yep, all right, cool. Okay, cool. Ready? Three, two, I got to make a coffee. Dude, even just right now it's like, all right, dude, we're halfway done through the day. Like, this is our moment to take a walk. We come back in after the walk. He's like, dude, we're going to order in three and then we're going to take a walk. Wait, we just And I was walking out to go beat you guys for a walk. Joe's like, you going out FOR A WALK? AND I WALKED I WALKED AFTER THEY WALKED. We all walked and Joe's like, all right, I'm going to go for a walk. And I walked I walked Damn. by myself. All right, you know you know you know you got one of me and that's funny, right? But lately I've been having a little bit more self-awareness and I've been cracking up at me and Hannah together.

18:40 Cuz she'll be like this, too, and I'm ████ judging the ████ out of her and she's judging the ████ out of me, but we both don't know that we're doing it. And I'm just like, how the ████ are we running a company? While your her your brain's asleep mode, she's on full power. And it just keeps switching. Yeah, there we go. That's probably what it is. That's probably what it is.
