Thank you JK family for joining us 🫶 I’m so grateful I got to do this w Bart & Joe!! If you liked the pod- check out the one I did w Dumbfoundead too! As well as the CEO of Jubilee
Great video, I honestly never get tired of hearing Bart and Joe talk about where they came from and where they are today. Truly inspirational to so many late 90 Asian kids
@@MbisonBalrogIt's all lies to you until Johnny Chang goes onto JK and reveals that he did remember Joe from those days and validated everything 😅. Truth hurts bro 🤷♂️
@@Kamui916 Well geez, I must be the only Asian never to be in a gang. What gang was he in Yakuzas of Beverly Hills or Compton? LOLOLOLLZ you having a group of people you socialize with does not mean you a gangbuster, buster.
@@MbisonBalrog Joe never admitted that he was proud to be in the gang and associated with them lol. Idk why you get hella pressed about it when Joe clearly says he wasn't about that life either and the circumstances got him into it before he realized he himself was a phony and got out cuz he can recognize that life was not for him 😂. He got in for protection like many other Asians so idk why you speak like you know so much bro lol. You're talking as if you've ever been around gangbangers to understand it. I'm Asian too and have never been in a gang nor do I ever want but I've got very close cousins who are in it still rn and have done some bad things/time and a lot of them all said the same thing Joe has said once they realized that gangbanging was not the right move just like Joe did🤦♂️😮💨
@@MbisonBalrog Joe has admitted to being in the gang and participated in quite a lot of their stuff until he realized it wasn't worth it. He called himself out for it and has called himself out for his decision as well knowing full well he was just trying to survive like every Asian boy back in the 90's which are my cousins and brothers era as well 😅. Even after these facts. It doesn't invalidate the fact that he was in a gang and was a part of it 😂
So much love for Bart and Joe ❤ Their loyalty to each other and the people around them is so hard to come by. May they continue to prosper for many more years.
@@1utube01Those employees you talk about that they were not loyal to got free trips to Japan and everywhere else including hotels and food all paid and extended paid time off whenever they wanted on any short notice. You also didn't know they gave the whole month of December off to all employees and still got paid in full??? Yea but they weren't the loyal ones 😂
@1utube01 If you gonna use Copium then atleast use it right lol. This isn't copium when it's literally facts and it's vlogged and public how they ran and treated employees 🤣.
Damn you really are intertwined with the JK fam. I see you all the time in the JKNews comments but I didn't know you watched everything JK related. You are a true JK fan
everybody needs true homie like Bart and Joe man they real definition of homies . specially the business partner thing cus that’s how friendships are ruined
Thank you Eric for this podcast, its the very 1st one ive watched. Joe & Bart are what brought me here. Been watching them for years on the various JK channels. But Ive really enjoyed this interview and to see their personalities in real life. A lot of what was spoken was very cathartic and also being Asian very true with generational thinking. It was fun, informative and great questions and pacing. Seeing how they both think and intellectualize concepts was truly eye opening. Keep up the great work im glad I stumbled onto this podcast
but man amazing pod bro , amazing host. had great questions , even tho i watched these guys for years, you asking the right questions gave me more detailed info on their experiences 💯🙏🏻
man i grew up on JK everything. i always say this , growing up, Bart was always a inspirational to me. dude has same experiences same mindset i had, he had some motives like me, he got beautiful family, great businesses with his wife and his best friend. dude fr still a inspiration to me now 💯 always gon be happy wit JK.
It’s super cool to hear Bart talk about joining ASB his senior year because that means he and I are both alumni of Mark Keppel’s ASB. I went to the same high school as Bart and Joe but in the 2010s
I remember how Joe looked when i first started watching Jknews (when Geo was pregnant) and he looks completely different 😂 haven't stopped watching since!
First time listening to ur podcast and wow this is great! Really enjoyed seeing Bart and Joe talking abt this kinda of talks and ofc all thanks to ur great lead and questions❤
@@hectormendoza5660only one fan got it tho finally bro. The one guy who was so adamant on receiving the shirt in the comments just got his recently due to his extended determination 🤣
The top 2 "reference gifs" that pop up in my mind everytime i see Bart is Geo describing the frist time she saw him, and her first impression was how straight his posture was, and that sweet asian lady talking to him and him saying oh sorry i dont speak the devils language...hahaha.
If Bart and Joe were in gangs and committed crime then I must literally be only Asian who never ran with gang and lived an honest life and be productive member of society. The worst I done is cheat on tests
You can hear and see it slightly but ima vocalize it. I kinna tear up every time i hear both JK member's stories, i'm happy their perseverance has rewarded them
What Joe was saying when he went to the career fair is true with all high schoolers. Unless your parents are in the field, you will likely not know your options out there. There should be a class called Careers where you get to learn about different careers out there. As a kid, all you know are like the stuff that is in the kindergarten board - police, fireman, teacher, janitor, doctor, nurse, lawyer, businessman, engineer, pilot, soldier, etc. You don't know things like dental hygienist, radiology technologist, HVAC repair, cyber security specialist, management consultant, actuary, data scientist, comptroller, air traffic control, government jobs like state department or US foreign service officer. And even something like Doctor or Lawyer, there is like so many specialties within like surgeon, ob/gyn, opthalmologist, immunologist, endocrinologist, epidemiologist, ER, pathologist, psychiatrist, oncologist...

Thank you, Eric for having Bart and Joe on your podcast. Absolutely love it.
Of course! And thank you for watching ☺️
I never get tired of hearing Joe and Bart's JK origin story😂
Joe and Bart have felt like cool older cousins to me. Joe is why I motivated to start a business
Hello fellow Joemallian!
I love how they flipped their lives, you ain’t have to be in the game forever. They became successful I love them
Gang life is a young man's game. They'd have to flip their lives if not = hospital or jail/prison or cemetery.
You made it. Asian founders interviewing Asian OG creators
Never heard of these guys but appreciate the interview with these guys who have been going for 17 years!
thank you for being open minded and checking out the pod! appreciate ya
They're channel is sooooooo funny, u should check it out. You'd never know this is their history from their content, they're SO funny and chill.

Not really loyal to their employees 😂 But I dig their loyalty to each other.

These guys never age, funny insightful interview and much appreciated!
Joe Bart and the beautiful Geo are the best!
I think Bart meant "pharmaceutical" with an emphasis on the quotes. Not actual pharmaceutical. 😂
Yep- I agree 😉
He must have been quite the “pharmacist” back in those days 😂
clicked for thumbnail. stayed for nostalgia 👏🏼🥹
It’s wild that joe and bart are able to maintain this image of just hanging out and having a good time while working their asses off
Love Bart and Joe! Watch JKNews!

Joe and Bart are legitimately the embodiment of people built different. Unironically fr
@55:48 lmao! 😭 Enjoyed this pod, followed Bart and Joe for a hot minute. Love their story
Awesome podcast, been following these guys for over a decade now!
I was like 12 when I first watched the Unco Same gets jacked video. Now I’m 29 and it’s so cool to see how far they’ve come

The Secret: Friendship 🕊️
I can’t get over how much Taika looks like Bart. SPITTING IMAGE!
I love these guys.
Our bois made it
JK IN DA HOUSE
He went from gangs to government I'm like is he from Chicago LOL😂
It’s super cool to hear Bart talk about joining ASB his senior year because that means he and I are both alumni of Mark Keppel’s ASB.
I went to the same high school as Bart and Joe but in the 2010s
They are so cute so happy to see such a close bond ❤😁
Love them !!!
"Gangs in pharmaceutical industries" 😂😂😂😂
Aka Drugs 😂
I remember how Joe looked when i first started watching Jknews (when Geo was pregnant) and he looks completely different 😂 haven't stopped watching since!
First time listening to ur podcast and wow this is great! Really enjoyed seeing Bart and Joe talking abt this kinda of talks and ofc all thanks to ur great lead and questions❤
This was such a great podcast episode! Love Joe and Bart 👍🏻👍🏻😎 Both amazing individuals 😇 Thank you for sharing guys! Yall rock!
“Pharmaceutical ring” 😂
The upbringing is what puts a smile on my face and reminiscing of what they go through in life they’re my highschool influencers
The Goats
Does anyone know what gang Joe was from ?
Their view how a persons word should carry weight is true. A mans word should be worth as much as gold
I'm glad they actually changed. There's a lot of people that say they've changed, but they still dress banged out and throw up gang signs.
Next we need Anthony "SHOW ME THE PROOF" Lee
This here is the definition of Loyalty that only a few in this world find...
THIS IS AMAZING!!!!
That whole conversation about not wanting to repeat the failures of our parents during our upbringing is fkn gold man
Yea- it’s how do we break the generational trauma 🥺

Woah! First Jetlagged then my all time favorite people! I think you got a new subscriber :D
anyone you'd want to see me interview next? :D
The top 2 "reference gifs" that pop up in my mind everytime i see Bart is Geo describing the frist time she saw him, and her first impression was how straight his posture was, and that sweet asian lady talking to him and him saying oh sorry i dont speak the devils language...hahaha.
I love the evolution of us Asians in the States.
Been watching them since I was 14
Great video
Letsssss gooooo!!
Good interview
Idk how many times I hear the origin story, I will always click it.
Fire 🔥
If Bart and Joe were in gangs and committed crime then I must literally be only Asian who never ran with gang and lived an honest life and be productive member of society. The worst I done is cheat on tests
Joe and Bart cool uncles for the nerds
Such a good story. Shout out to friendship
CAREFUL BOYS!!!
You can hear and see it slightly but ima vocalize it. I kinna tear up every time i hear both JK member's stories, i'm happy their perseverance has rewarded them
Crazy I have been watching since I was 10 and I’m 24 now, time is going by way too fast
Holy cow, I would love to work in your company!
Damn, these guys really are humble
Careful boyz🎉🎉
LETS GOOOOO!!!
Jk fans since 14’
Ayee say the word OG bart n joe
I’ll start peacemakers 2nd gen 💪🏽💪🏽
Freaking amazing!!!❤
1:00:53 . That’s facts. Neglected even though your parents are still physically there
I knew the careful boys were Gs but they were really Gs lol
joe is slowly becoming bobby lee
We identified 5th high schoolers as super seniors lol
love some Bart and Joe lore
no wonder they were relating to Johnny Chang so much
these dudes are epic.
What Joe was saying when he went to the career fair is true with all high schoolers. Unless your parents are in the field, you will likely not know your options out there.

yeah I also feel like trade schools should visit Highschool campuses just like colleges
Damn these guys were crazy 💀😂
Everydays go to schools to be the good boys.
16:45 LMFAO
Loved this pod, relatable as fuck
What hood was joe from ?
Joe looked so cute with a buzz cut wtf
Uncle Same (Bart) DOES NOT AGE. 😊
Did Bart just said pharmaceutical ring, 😂 cant he just say drug dealer or illegal pharmacist?!
