Signing a prenup, getting robbed, & living with my in-laws ft. Bryton & Jade
111m 8s
Brighton and Jade, a married couple known for their YouTube channel Ninja Kids, share the story of how they met on a chance encounter during a double date. Brighton, a YouTuber with over 24 million subscribers, was initially unknown to Jade, who had never seen his content. Their relationship blossomed quickly, fueled by shared excitement about adventure and content creation, including a memorable trip to Malaysia where they attended a royal birthday party. They married after 11 months, choosing to wait for emotional readiness and a strong sense of mutual commitment. The couple has traveled extensively, including to Dubai and Saudi Arabia, where they’ve worked on high-profile action parks and events. Their family is close-knit, athletic, and deeply involved in their careers, with members skilled in martial arts and physical feats. A recurring internet myth—people believe Jade is pregnant due to fake YouTube thumbnails—adds a layer of humor to their public image. They’ve also expanded their influence into new ventures, like a potential residency at Ringling Brothers Circus and family-friendly performances in Branson, Missouri. Despite their fame, they emphasize authenticity, family bonding, and a grounded lifestyle, balancing public visibility with personal values and real-life experiences.

- I had to leave my bridal party to go sign a prenup.
- Part of the issue was I made one on chat GPT.
- All the day before the wedding.
- Brighton Myler grew up in front of millions
as one of the original stars of Ninja Kids TV,
a kids martial arts channel
with over 24 million subscribers.
- My dad wanted to start a family vlog channel,
so we went to Costa Rica and Panama for two months.
We got burglarized, so all of our camera gear, electronics.
If we would've started that family channel,
we may not have ever started Ninja Kids.
- A decade later, Brighton is all grown up
and just celebrated his first wedding anniversary
with his wife, Jade.
- Everyone thinks I'm pregnant all the time.
- Why?
- There's a YouTube channel that posts fake thumbnails
of our family.
- But it's kind of a big problem with my whole family.
- Sometimes his sister, they get in a huge accident.
- My siblings die all the time on YouTube.
- Yeah, and people message us like,
"Are your siblings okay?"
- We talk about getting invited to perform
for the Princess of Malaysia, why they had two weddings,
and living with their in-laws as newlyweds,
all on today's episode.
- Please welcome Brighton and Jade!
- What an introduction.
- Yeah!
- Let's go!
- You guys are so awesome!
- So cute!
- Guys, this is your first podcast, right?
- Yes.
- Yes.
- We're so excited.
- Are you nervous?
- A little.
- A little bit?
- They've done a lot in their careers.
I feel like this is probably more chill.
- Yeah.
- Oh.
- True, but Jade said the same feeling of nervousness
is excitement.
- Yes, that's what I told myself.
- So we're excited.
- So I'm like a little bit nervous,
but also the same feeling.
I'm also excited.
- Yeah, as I said that, I'm like,
Brighton, you grew up on a family channel
that has like 24 million subscribers,
so I feel like you're probably just used to this stuff
at this point, right?
- Yeah, it's true.
It's definitely a different podcast style,
but you know, I love being on camera,
and so it's a good time.
- I wanna get into how you guys met.
You just got married a year ago,
which congratulations, by the way,
but when you guys met each other,
did you know who he was?
Did you know that he was this famous YouTuber?
- We actually have
the best story about how we met.
- I think it's pretty epic.
- No one would ever be able to guess.
It's not, we didn't meet on a dating app.
We have the best story, I'd say.
- Let's hear it.
- So I was actually on another date.
- What?
- Yeah, that's how we start.
We love this.
- You were on another date.
- I was on another date, and it was a fun time,
but it was just like a first date.
And so I was driving in the car
with my bro, it was a double date,
and so we were driving on State Street,
- That's cute.
- And I saw Jade in the car next to me.
- Wait, you dropped off your date.
You gotta say you dropped your date off.
- Yeah, she's not with us.
She's not with us anymore.
- I was gonna say, if you like--
- Right, no, no.
- Wait, you were on a double date with your brother?
Was it also his friend?
- No, my bro, my friend, my friend.
- Oh, okay.
- Not my brother.
- Was it also a first date for him?
- Yeah, yes.
- Oh, that's so fun.
- Just a fun, casual thing.
So we dropped off the girls,
and then we were driving down State Street,
and she was in the car next to us,
and I just said, "Hey, she's cute."
So I rolled down my window,
and I was like, "Roll down your window,"
and she rolled down her window.
Oh, not the first time, actually.
She tried to ignore us.
- Yeah, we need to tell my side of the story,
but you can keep going with yours.
- She ignored us at the first light,
so I followed her to the next light.
- Followed her.
- And then she finally rolled down her window.
I got her number, and I called her right away,
and the rest is history.
So that's how we met.
- Wait, I need to hear your side of the story.
- Well, my side, he followed me for a good amount of time.
- Were you by yourself?
- Yes, and I looked crazy.
I had just gotten done with work.
I had changed into my workout clothes.
I was going to the gym.
He had just gotten off a date,
so he looks his very best, you know?
And I see this car keep following me,
and they keep looking over at me,
and I'm kind of nervous.
I'm like, "Why is someone following me?
"What's going on?"
I was in a college town,
so I thought someone was pranking me or something.
I didn't know, and so I kept ignoring them,
and then finally, he was like, "Roll down your window,"
and so I did it, and then, yeah, then he was nice,
but he followed me for a second.
So I was a little concerned, but he was really cute,
so I was like, "Okay, I'll trust him."
- The only thing you heard him say was,
"What's your number?"
- He just said, "I think you're cute.
"What's your number?"
Like, yelling it, 'cause it was loud,
and so I don't know why.
That was the first time I ever gave my number out to anyone,
like a real number.
I would always give a fake number just to be funny.
- Yeah, it was fate.
- I know, but I just was like, "He's cute.
"I don't know.
"I want to try it," so I gave him my number,
and then we drove off, and he called me immediately.
- But to answer your question,
she didn't know who I was. - I did not know who he was.
I had no idea.
- No.
- So we met, and he calls me, and he's like,
"Hi, I'm Brighton.
"What's your name?"
We talked for a minute,
and I asked him what he does for work,
or does he go to school, and he's like,
"Oh, I'm not in school.
"I just make videos for fun."
I was like, "Is that a red flag?"
You just make videos for fun?
What does that mean?
- I probably said YouTube videos, but--
- No, I don't think you did.
You were very chill.
You were like, "I just make videos,"
and so I was like, "Okay,"
and then later, I looked him up after the gym,
and he had like 100,000 followers on just Instagram,
and I was like, "Oh, who's this guy?"
And I go home, and I asked my little brothers about it,
and they were freaking out, freaking out.
They were like, "You just met the ninja kid.
"You need to go on a date with him.
"He's so awesome.
"I've watched him forever,"
and I actually wasn't gonna go on a date with him.
I was supposed to leave on an LDS mission,
and I was kind of done with the dating scene.
I had just moved home from college,
and so I said, "I'm not gonna go on a date.
"It's fine.
"He's cute, but it's fine,"
but my mom's the one that was like, "You should just go."
She kind of forced me.
I was a little bit annoyed.
- She was the MVP.
- Yeah, my mom's like, "Just go.
"You never know," and we went,
and the first date, I was like, "Oh my goodness.
"He is so different.
"He's the best."
He just was so cool,
and then we literally hung out every day since then.
- And she didn't go on her mission.
- And I didn't go on my mission.
- You didn't go on my mission.
- Oh, no.
- So we got married instead.
- You guys totally broke my theory,
because I've literally always said,
"Why do guys try to make moves at red lights?
"Because this would never work."
- It worked.
- "What would this ever work on?"
- It worked on me. - First try.
- It worked on me.
- It worked on me.
That's really sweet.
That's really sweet.
- What made him different?
'Cause you said you've been on dates before.
You dated other guys.
You went to, you were at college, you said?
- Yes.
- Did you stop college early to do the mission,
because you just didn't feel fulfilled?
You needed to do something else in your life?
- Yeah, I was at college for over a year and a half,
and then my friends and I
kind of just wanted to serve a mission.
I wanted something more.
I wanted to grow as a person,
and so maybe a mission's where I should go,
and I love adventure,
so I was like, "Maybe they'll call me Summer Cool,"
and then I got my mission call.
I moved home,
and then I was supposed to leave within two months.
- Where was your call to?
- Denmark, Copenhagen.
So I was really excited.
I was really learning Danish,
so I was like, "Oh my goodness, it's gonna be the best."
- I'm gonna take her this year to make up for it.
- Yes.
He said he would take me there.
But yeah, and then I met him,
and he was just so genuine.
He just felt like,
you know those college guys,
those bros you always hear about?
That's kind of the people I was just going on dates with,
and they're kind of lame.
It was okay, but he was just the best,
and he had the coolest stories,
and I thought our lives would just fit so well.
- What was the story he told you on the date?
- Oh, okay, so on the first date,
I like to ask people three truths and a lie.
- Okay. - Do you have anything cool?
And I ask him, and he says the most insane things,
and I'm like, "Do you know how this game works?
You're supposed to tell the truth, and then one lie."
But he told me, "What was it?
You visited the princess of Malaysia.
You went to her birthday party."
- Oh my goodness.
- What was it?
- I don't even remember the other ones.
- Something like scuba diving with sharks.
It was just crazy,
adventurous stuff, and I'm like,
"You are crazy, I want to do that."
I want to do that.
- Pause for a second.
Can you tell us a story
about you visiting the princess of Malaysia?
- Yeah, it was a great time.
- It was a great time.
The royal family called us up,
and was like, "Hey, we want you to come
to the princess's birthday party."
And we're like, "This has got to be a scam.
This can't be real."
- Right.
- But it ended up being real, and we went,
and it was super cool experience.
We got to see the palace, and that birthday party, - Oh my.
- was the most insane birthday party.
- I can only imagine.
- They spent millions of dollars just on a birthday party.
- Wasn't it, she's like six years old or something?
- Yeah, six-year-old birthday party.
- Oh, so she watched the YouTube channel?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Oh!
- Yeah.
So she was a subscriber, and wanted us to come,
which is why they made the effort to reach out,
and to fly us out there.
- Bro, that's like when I've heard about different rappers,
or like Justin Bieber performing
at like Saudi prince's birthday parties,
like that's what this was for you guys.
- Exactly.
- That's so sick.
- It was a good time.
So we've got to go to a few fun birthday parties.
That one's probably the most unique.
But we just did DJ Khaled's kid's birthday party.
- And Patrick Mahomes.
- Are you kidding me?
- Patrick Mahomes, he went to the Ninja kids action park
for his kid's birthday.
- The Kardashians came to the action park.
- Yeah.
- We didn't get to meet them unfortunately,
but like cool people.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
- That's insane.
- That is insane.
- Also, I don't know why when you said the princess,
I was not thinking a six-year-old.
- Yeah, yeah.
- That's so sweet.
- I feel like a six-year-old, they're like asking her,
"What do you want to do for your sixth birthday?"
She's like, "Well, I know I could probably
"literally have anything."
So, my favorite YouTubers, let's bring them.
- Yeah, yeah.
- That's sweet.
- It was a fun time.
- Were you able to vlog the birthday party?
- We did.
It's on YouTube.
It's on the Ninja Fam channel.
We did a lot of fun stuff in Malaysia.
So, people can check that out.
- They got like a police escort to the soccer game.
- Yeah.
- I don't know.
They just got cool stuff in Malaysia.
- Very unique.
He's got the second largest car collection in the world.
Over 2,000 cars.
It was amazing.
- Over 2,000?
- Yeah, over 2,000 cars.
- Beautiful.
- It was insane.
- You have lived some life.
That is crazy.
- Imagine this on a first date.
Someone's just telling you these stories,
and I'm like, "Goodness.
"You're crazy."
- Did you tell him on the first date
that your brothers watched him?
- I think I did mention it, right?
i don't know i remember on our first date i had it was during christmas time so all of my extended
family and cousins were over and they were all mega fans so when he came to pick me up i had
to keep everyone inside they were trying to run out and like get his autograph well i couldn't
come in anyways because i was on a knee scooter i couldn't walk on our first date so he wasn't
supposed to drive and he drove that was my first time driving after i hurt my foot it was a very
chaotic first day but it worked out that's sweet i love you guys remember all the details too
what was the timeline from the first date to getting engaged almost a year like 11 months
okay yeah so it's still pretty quick but i feel like in utah that's a long time i was just about
to say some of my some of my friends that grew up in utah were like yeah we met and then like
measured in weeks two weeks later we got married it was awesome like that's crazy so that's good
so why 11 months why did you guys wait 11 months to get engaged i know we were young we were we
were in a rush and it just felt like
the perfect time for us and just trying to figure out we wanted to date through every season
just to know we were making the right decision it's it's a big deal it's the biggest decision
yeah we'll ever make and so i know i mean and to make that while you're a teenager is crazy right
because yeah were you 19 when i yeah i was 19 when we got engaged wait are you 19 when we met
i turned just turned 20 when we got engaged okay two months before so yeah it's a little scary
and i don't know why in my mind i'm like i want to be 21 when you when we get married i'm close
enough let's just wait till after then yeah he always said that why do you have a specific age
that's weird but i don't we were just so close i'm like let's just cross that benchmark and we'll get
married you know what's funny is my entire life i always wanted to get older i wanted to get to the
age of 21 like in my mind that was the age when you could yeah you're already able to vote and
you can drink and you can just like your people take you i thought people would just take you
seriously yeah and ever since i've been married i've been married i've been married i've been married
passing 21 now i'm like oh gosh i'm getting old oh oh frick okay let's get oh and so like
it's it's kind of fun do you do you feel because you're right now you're 22 right yeah so how does
that feel like do you do you feel older do you feel how do you feel your age i don't know i still
feel pretty young for my age especially i can't believe we were married over a year now and i
still feel young but i'm already ready for those next steps when are we having kids you know i've
been the person in my family to just want things early in life so i've always gravitated to to do
older people things and um i don't know i've always been an old soul and just wanting to do
the next progression in life and keep things moving well you've been in your career already
for a very long time yeah you're like very established you're like kind of like we're almost
a part of the adult world like as a young teen because you did you guys start the channel you
were 13 yeah i was 13 okay
do you okay so it blew up pretty quickly huh yeah our first video has over 100 million views so
goodness that's not most people's youtube journey let's just put that out there for anyone that's
like trying to grow on youtube that was not our journey that was our journey by any means um so
that's pretty crazy so with that type of like eyes on you at such a young age like did you go to
regular school like were you able to do normal things yeah so up until that point i was going
but i was also full-time competitive in gymnastics so even before youtube we were always very
active and my dad owns a martial arts studio so i was already a second degree black belt by the time
i was 13 and i was doing competitive gymnastics and so i was already doing part-time school just
doing the core classes at school and then um basically doing electives with other activities

whale fall rated pg-13 in theaters october 16th get tickets now and so when we started youtube
it just we were just even more busy and so we started an online thing and i kind of did online
through high school and it's definitely different i think every kid wishes for something they don't
have and i didn't have the typical experience of going to school and maybe i didn't have as
many friends as a lot of people did but i wouldn't trade it for anything because um you know i had a
great life and i have so many fun opportunities that comes with creating youtube and doing
things like that and i think it's a great way to start a new life and i think it's a great way to
start a new life and i think it's a great way to start a new life and i think it's a great way to
like that so i wouldn't trade it but it's definitely different it's not the normal
childhood experience i would say yeah it's probably more like the life of like a child
actor or like any any child like prodigy in certain area like that's like high achieving
um did your parents both stay home then with you guys as you went through the rest of the school
yeah i family was always very very important i think our family's closer than a lot of families
sometimes i'm jealous because jade has tons of friends great friend group but like my family
was so tight and so she's like hey at least you have a really tight family it's okay it's just
different pros and cons i mean she has a great family too but um they were always around we
always worked together even the martial arts studio we would go together my parents worked
together at the studio they worked together in youtube so they were always around um are you
saying you didn't really did you not really have friends outside of your family yeah we didn't have
a lot of time like i do have friends but not but it wasn't like a priority in my life where i got
to go hang out every single day yeah yeah it was yeah just different different focuses priority
we were out of town all the time and visiting the princess of malaysia yeah exactly and sometimes
when you're busy friends will just assume you're busy and then stop yeah it's just a different
experience yeah that's pretty amazing i feel like the way that your parents
navigated such a like they probably didn't have a lot of friends that they could call up and be like
hey so when our kids go viral online and like have these amazing opportunities that no other like
there's not a large network of other parents to consult but it seems like they did like a pretty
awesome job of like keeping you guys grounded and rooted amidst a crazy lifestyle and did like did
the youtube channel come first or did you start acting first because i want to say i saw when i
was looking things up you
even had a stint in in a movie correct yeah exactly so we this is a long story so youtube
was supposed to come first we were on a fan so we went on a two-month family trip because my dad
wanted to start a family vlog channel okay so we went to costa rica and panama for two months
and we got burglarized and so all of our camera gear electronics and my my family we did all right
but that was a huge
setback financially and it was a big deal and so when we got back from our trip then they signed
us up for acting and to do movies so i did get into movies and that ended up coming first
and i was in a movie called the last straw um so it was a great time and i think that definitely
prepared us to what ended up happening and i think if we would have started that family channel we
may not have ever started ninja kids so everything happens for a reason i guess so it worked out
but um but yeah we were trying to start a family vlog channel first and getting burglarized do you
remember the the burglars where did you see them no we didn't see them we think we were staying
at a house in costa rica and we think the people who own the house have something to do with
how it happened we don't know for sure but when we left um someone came in and took everything and
was gone by the time we got back and it was just a very suspicious
scenario so we think it has something to do with the people who own the house but like the house
didn't look broken into or anything right and it was like perfect none of their stuff was taken
or anything all the stuff that was there it was just our stuff so it was it was a weird situation
that is yeah unfortunate wow why do we even know what to say yeah i don't know if that's been
shared on youtube i don't know if that has either i mean your dad didn't start youtube for what
seven more years after that well that's 2012 and then we started in 2017 so okay so that's crazy
several years later was that was what's your relationship with like with your parents was
this like one of those situations where where you got like the the tiger mom and tiger dad who were
like get back out there and do your thing like i don't know i don't know what that yeah what's
that vibe it was a very interesting thing if you ask any of my siblings that's still probably one
of their favorite family adventures ever just because it was the first time we had ever done
something like that and i was like oh my god i don't know what that is and i was like oh my god
something big like that so it's very monumental in our minds and i think my dad was quiet for like
two or three days and we all knew it was a sad thing and my mom would take us i think she took
us to go do surf lessons while my dad was coping with all the lost items but then after a couple
days we still had a month or a month and a half left of our trip and so we were deciding if we
go home or not and my dad said just hey let's finish out the trip
and let's have a great time and now i don't have work to do i have time to spend with all of you
guys and then at one of our next locations we were out at night and there were a bunch of people on
their work computers working while they're in this beautiful tropical paradise and it was almost a
silver lining he was just able to say hey i'm just here with my family enjoying it and so it turned
out into a really great thing in the end but it was the the the first few days i was like oh my god
right after was not a lot of talking happened just um but after that it was a great trip and
i was only eight and then my ashton was six and then the twins were four so we were all really
young oh goodness but it ended up being great time that's sweet it turned around for sure
jade what is what was the first you know year of your relationship like being uh you know that that
while you guys were dating because you weren't yeah you didn't get engaged for
11 long months oh it was the best we are so similar that we stayed so busy we went to
egypt and finland and paris and dubai where else did we go we we went all over and it was that's
just my dream and so we got to go and make some videos together and it was so busy yeah and i was
happy that she was someone who was excited about my life to be a part of it um because um other
people i've dated weren't necessarily as excited about those certain aspects and so it would have
just been a completely different life if i was doing it on my own rather than having someone
that wants to do it with me and travel and make content so yeah was that like a question on the
first date of like hey are you okay with being public and like having this crazy life i don't
know if it was a first date question but i think it was an important thing to me when it came to
getting married
that i needed someone like that and she was the perfect person because she always wanted to
do content creation just never got into it on her own so it was a perfect segue for her life that's
cool at what point was it like okay we're not married but we're gonna be like a couple online
when we got engaged okay yeah we were getting ready yeah we tried to keep it pretty chill and
then we got engaged like let's make videos let's make a channel together that's awesome yeah how do
you ever
made any videos on the internet no and so i would have for fun a little bit with my friends when i
was younger just because i thought social media was awesome but it's scary to start i'm sure you
guys know that too it's just scary to put yourself out there and everyone could judge you and so i
was in a very different path i was going to dentistry and so very different you have amazing
teeth oh thank you that's the best compliment that's so nice thank you that's so cool you're
into dentistry yeah so i loved it i went to trade school while i was also in high school and i did
oral surgery assisting wow and so that's actually another story that's how people think that we met
because that was my first time on camera ashton his brother came in and i took his wisdom teeth
out and so but that was my first time on anything and that was that was a big thing everyone thought
that's how we met that i was ashton's nurse that's funny that you mentioned that because i saw
somebody mentioned something about how you guys met with you getting your wisdom teeth yeah so i
didn't i didn't see anything about you wait you actually took them out so i'm an assistant but i
was in the surgery and i helped most of the time i'm not the surgeon but it was just me and the
surgeon the whole time so yes i saw his wisdom teeth and every everything oh so me and ashton
are tight it's his brother i didn't even take his out took his brothers out so that's probably why
you didn't see it it's on his his brother ashton's channel got it okay but yeah that was the first
time i was on camera so you can see me in the background kind of nervous because i'm not supposed
to be in it but
yeah but we kind of talked about it and we're like hey she's cute but she had never been
announced on social media so it wasn't a full hey this is my girlfriend oh did you did you
kind of tease it though in the video yes yeah or did you like joke about like oh i think we
should go on a date yeah yeah exactly yeah exactly exactly he was like i should get the
nurse's number i think i should get her number that's cute yeah and so people know we've told
our real like how we met but people just assumed that's how we met because i hadn't been on video
anywhere
got it okay that you know it must get confusing with people us making yeah making assumptions
obviously you guys we tease that tease that there but like has there been like an assumption someone's
made other than that that was just completely yes incorrect yeah everyone thinks i'm pregnant
all the time why i don't i think they just want us to have babies i think i'm hoping that's why
i'm hoping it's not because i look pregnant but there is a youtube there's a youtube channel that
posts fake thumbnails um of our family all the time and they get good views on the videos so
it's been posted and they've seen thumbnails of it so they feel like it's real even though that's
not us interesting are these ai thumbnails about jade being pregnant exactly a lot of times
sometimes i'll have twins sometimes it's just one baby yeah but it's kind of a big problem with my
whole family like anything shocking or even things that make us look bad or something these channels
will be like this happened click on this video and the thumbnail is crazy and obviously it never
shows anything like that but yeah but it's kind of it can get confusing sometimes his sister they
get in a huge accident or patron almost dies is what they say yeah my siblings die all the time
yeah and people message us like are your siblings okay yeah and yeah it's a big deal i don't know
why people do that but just
a couple weeks ago we were at a meet and greet thing and one of the parents said
congratulations dad and aunt and uncles to my siblings as if she was having kids and i i didn't
correct her because it was so quick yeah but i i figured she just assumed jade was pregnant because
of those videos yeah it seems like your audience is very obsessed with the idea of you guys having
kids yeah is that something that you guys see down in your future yeah we we want not right now
let's see i don't know i i don't think it's something we need to rush but i'm excited for
kids and i want to be a young dad so i could see it in the next couple years maybe sooner i i don't
know we'll see i think i'm probably more on board than she is as of right now but oh yeah i would
love to be a young parent and have lots of kids it's just scary to move to the next step that's
a big deal and it's a lot more physical on her and so it's easy for me to say i'm ready
you're like yeah let's do it yeah you're like i don't have to go through it this is a lot
100 well then and then you get to the next stage which is actually taking care of a living
breathing little mini human and and you aren't getting sleep and so that's like i i think
becoming a parent is probably was probably the biggest change that i've ever experienced and i'm
like ever and i and i feel like that's probably i think a lot of parents would probably say the
same thing well i'm curious because we got married the same ages how long did you guys wait we waited
three years okay okay yeah it's a good amount of time well no we started trying after two and we
and griffin was born after three yeah a little after two because great our oldest turn is about
to turn four and we're about to celebrate seven well he wasn't born we didn't have the baby until
three years okay okay yeah like literally exactly three years i don't even know what you're what do
what he was born july 3rd yeah our anniversary is july 6th yeah yeah he's born like right after
wow yeah yeah it's almost perfect that's awesome yeah we just have to wait another year before you
get pregnant or something like that okay if you guys want to copy us copy everything now i think
it's a good timeline we also did date a while like before we got married we did three years
before we got okay yeah so but that season of newlywed like life is so memorable like we talk
about it literally every day we're like remember we did this just because that stage of life is just
so it's so busy you're doing so many like mountaintop
things like because you can do things at a faster pace than with kids you slow down like what was
your first year of marriage first of all wait i need to ask about the wedding was it a massive
wedding it was awesome we had the best wedding ever it was a party it was we wanted to be a
party and it was a party i don't know we probably had six or seven hundred people there whoa yeah
we didn't expect that either we just sent out invites to whoever of our friends and then
everyone showed up i was shocked how'd you feed that many people we ran out of food very quick
oh you did yeah we didn't have a full meal for the reception okay it was just a luncheon right
before with like the close it was 175 people okay so we fed all those people a real dinner and then
we had this massive jumbo charcuterie board that was supposed to feed that many people i think it's
supposed to feed 500 but we had more we had a lot more than that wow it was fun goodness we don't
know that many people yeah
700
either it must be him because i didn't think i did either he's like i have no idea who paid for
the wedding it was so my parents were in charge of mostly mostly the wedding and then his parents
were awesome and wanted to pay for the flowers and the honeymoon so it was kind of split it
just depended it's probably pretty even honestly probably is how much they spent but it was our
parents most couples are moving towards that now right yeah we're both the oldest so we didn't
really know how to do it and so our parents just talked to each other we just figured
out what everyone feels comfortable with yeah that's sweet but yeah are your families both
pretty close i would say so they're friendly okay they don't go out every weekend but
every once in a while yeah that's fun are your siblings close yeah i ask because our family is
just an abnormally close are they like they're like people that are like not even necessarily
related or just like all considering everyone family wait that's sweet yeah so cute our
siblings are actually really similar ages and opposite genders so we keep trying to have our
siblings in our family and we're like oh my god we're like we're like we're like we're like we're
always so we had my sister and his brother in a video and the whole video we kept pushing them
close we're like you guys should date that's cute yeah we keep trying it probably won't happen
they've never been on a date no no they haven't because you could have double cousins i know
that'd be kind of cool that would be kind of cool and then i have another brother and his sister we
keep trying to set up but it's not working out but they're so fun that would be really fun yes
but then our little brothers are tight they hang out all the time that's cute the 12 year olds they
love each other
that's really sweet the fact that you have 12 year old little brothers is so crazy to me i know
like our kids are like almost four the not a big difference question for you guys so you guys got
married in the temple and then did a reception afterward yeah that's kind of the norm in utah
right like that's because because i think usually at least like i'm from missouri everyone just gets
married once could you explain for somebody that doesn't know like why why the two weddings why
the two two events yeah that's a great question
we it didn't used to be a normal thing because the reception the second wedding where we do a
normal ceremony isn't an official wedding at all we're not getting married it's just for fun
honestly because everyone's seen the movies and they're like i want to walk down the aisle
like my parents and most people our parents generation never did the second wedding thing
yeah it's more of a newer thing because people want to experience that and you might not so also
in the temple when we got married that's when you officially are married through the state and we
believe you're getting sealed in the temple together for all eternity um but a lot of people
that aren't members can't go in the temple and so he has a lot of family and i have a lot of family
that couldn't go in so we still wanted them to be part of the ceremony right can you take pictures
in there too no just outside just outside then is that another benefit then too is that you get like
traditional wedding right exactly that's cool your parents do they have wedding pictures or no
yeah just outside the just like the beautiful
castle looking temple usually just take it outside yeah but that's mainly why just because
people want that experience yeah even though you're not actually getting married yeah okay

are you like really good at making food because i that's so that's all our friends all our friends
are lds make amazing such good food such bomb food i'm definitely learning i'm trying i wouldn't say
i'm bad but he is amazing i like to barbecue he's a
ultimate barbecue master oh yes i wouldn't say a master but i really enjoy it i've always loved
cooking with my mom and so it's kind of stuck so i just like he's so good at it he's being modest
every party i'm always the one to cook the burgers or i did a brisket recently and that was fun yeah
wow yeah so i enjoy it i never thought i'd find someone that's such a good cook like i just figured
i would be better but i'm not better than him bryden cooks more than you do is what i'm picking
up on she probably still cooks i cook more but i think he cooks harder things than i do
if that makes sense like all the smoking i don't know how to do any of that do you make
hawaiian haystacks i never have i grew up on those but i'm never gonna say all of our friends
are lds would make us hawaiian haystack that's what my mom would make me all the time you know
what i think you gotta describe what this dish is because it's kind of crazy for people that
describe the hawaiian haystack what is it it's like coconut yeah it's like i don't even know
how to describe it it's like chicken it's like a cream of chicken it's like a cream of chicken
soup looking thing on top but i don't know what how do you describe that it's just like a casserole
of things i've never had combined but it tastes really good pineapple pineapple yes that's not
that's what it is pineapple and chicken and something crunchy on top yeah these little yes
i need it wow i haven't had that in years i forgot i just unlocked i remember when we lived in hawaii
our neighbors were like this is kind of an lds delicacy you gotta know you know how to make
crepes though right like have we ever made crepes i don't think we are not breakfast people at all
we don't eat breakfast we don't eat breakfast skip that when i think of a classic utah breakfast
i think of crepes we are not fitting the utah stereotype i guess goodness it's because you
guys like you've been to middle asia with the with the princess you're traveling a lot so much
asian cuisine that is our favorite okay love it yes so that's probably ramen we did a ton of like
yeah hot pot cream barbecue thai food what about our do you have a i can't talk right now do you
have a swig order that's a good one i don't have a swig order that's a good one i don't have a swig order
that like is your go-to that's we don't drink soda goodness you guys are yeah literally not
hitting any stereotypes i know we shouldn't live in utah because we don't go any to any of the drink
places i don't love that people normalize dessert for breakfast and so that's just not something i
i do you are a black belt so you probably eat super healthy yeah you're fit yeah it's at the
gym yeah we we i try not to eat junk food and yeah i could go for some like french toast you
know that's my
favorite but we still just for breakfast i think it's great i think it tastes great but people just
don't realize they're literally eating dessert for breakfast i eat three even though it tastes good
okay all of my stereotypes about about like that i just made a bunch of assumptions and i was so
off what is it most of the time you're so right okay what is it that people get wrong about utah
what's like an assumption that people are just i don't even know if people get it wrong or i think
we're just weird
when it comes to utah i think they pretty much nailed it yeah you guys nailed it like everyone
i know drinks like we don't drink soda which is weird because most people do and the fact that i
don't and she doesn't drink coffee right no right so no caffeine no no we drink caffeine sometimes
was what like you the drink we had this morning sometimes i work with brands and they're really
clean ingredients and they have like some type of natural caffeine and i love that stuff but
i don't know i don't know why we haven't had to live off of it
caffeine yet no it's definitely not a need i feel like every day but i'll drink it if if the drink's
good not too crazy that's funny do you guys you guys don't have a swig in arizona do you do and
our neighbor designed the swig logo oh dang so that's our claim to fame that's pretty cool right
um yeah it lives down the street from us so pretty pretty cool stuff um well okay so so you get you
get married that's pretty cool right so you get married that's pretty cool right so you get married
that was a year ago life's been crazy since right you guys have been doing a lot of travel i saw you
guys went to beast land in saudi arabia can you can you tell us about what the past year has
consisted of we went to beast land in saudi arabia and it was so cool we've been hired out to go to
dubai the last few years and so it's just a quick hop away to saudi arabia which is why we had to
stop by um but we've been going to dubai the last few years they've been hiring us out to do some
um so yeah that's been really fun they build a ninja kids action park on the beach every year
what so they've got this big billion dollar event in abu dhabi it's the motn festival mother of the
nation event and then they always build a ninja kids action park and and fly us out this is a
this is a temporary action park yeah yes it's not a permanent one no a temporary one and it's a huge
thing they have tons of other things on the beach too it's like a mile long maybe not that long but
tons of fun things who is the business
partner that's like helping with the action park i think it's just the government yeah the government
government the government tourism like their tourism board does a lot yes they're trying to
compete with dubai because abu dhabi and dubai they're an hour away from each other same country
and they're the biggest competitors and so they're just trying to one-up each other we had to hop
over see beast world or beast land while we were there and it was cool i think jimmy did a great
job with yeah with beast land it's crazy and the people there loved it and the culture loved it i
think it was great for the it's temporary right yeah it's not just for like only two months or
something yeah yeah have you met mr beast i have met him no way uh-huh i've met jimmy i worked with
him kind of so basically i did a video on my channel i flew out to his first beast burger
location okay and we got to go in the back we met him for a little bit and then i asked if i could
just work the beast burger line because there was like 20 000 people waiting for burgers that day
so i i had i got to help
some merch and just hang out with the guys for a little bit and it was a fun time this was at the
the first like actual physical location that they opened the american dream mall and actually at the
american dream mall the owners of the mall came up to us because his kids were subscribers to the
channel and they're like hey we want you to put a trampoline park or something in our mall so now
we have an action park because i wanted to go to beast burger now we've got an action park there
that is how many action parks are there
i think there's 12 or 13 locations fully branded but there's about 20 in the process of being
switched over from other trampoline parks or being built like so there's about 30 atr that's a local
one that's called yeah it's a local park i think we have one it's a chain yeah okay they're in mini
ninjas class our kids are in mini ninjas class they absolutely love it that's so cool that's so
cool but yeah we it's trampoline zipline slide
so yeah we do all sorts of things that is so fun we're actually going to the first opening
out of the country in scotland i think this year oh it's the first out of the country action park
that's what they're doing it's just crazy that is so cool do you ever get sick of your family
um we spend a lot of time together we spend a lot of time together they're great and we get to do so
much fun things but it's a lot more time than most people get to spend with their family they do a lot of time with their family
so good compared like thinking about it yeah i'm impressed that they don't fight as much as i would
think we have a great family dynamic so it works but i just don't know if life's nest i don't know
if you're supposed to be around your family 24 7 like we do so sometimes it's a lot but we love it
we've had a break we haven't done much in the last few months and and so we're gonna go on tour and
it'll be fun but that's really cool yeah growing up on a on a family channel were you were you
paid at the time or did you have like some sort of like equity stake in in the family business how
does that work because you're still operating doing shows touring right with with ninja kids
how did how did all that get worked out it's a great question i do have an equity stake in the
company and also we get paid from the tours and things but when i was a kid it was a little bit
different because we mainly got paid we started our own personal channels around the same time
okay and we mainly got paid from those and so
a lot our our channels obviously got really successful as ninja kids grew yeah and so it
was kind of as we were working um on our own stuff and a lot of times something would happen and
they'd even throw videos onto our channels and so then we would make most the revenue off our own
yeah personal channels which all kind of grew as we worked on ninja kids and the kids channels so
it all kind of worked out that way wow okay so then like everybody basically every kid within
has their own dedicated personal channel yeah and it was almost like we were collaborating when we'd
come together and then for big a thing for big things and big events we always get paid for those
okay percentage but um that's how it mainly went for the youtube videos we would just collaborate
together and then some people would make the money for that video and some people would make the money
for that video just whoever's channel it would go on pretty much is it true that you guys lived
with your in-laws for like a little bit after you got married as newlyweds as newlyweds tell
me about that yeah living with your in-laws as newlyweds i want to hear from your perspective
yes we did so we got married and about a month after we got married we went on a tour for 12
weeks and we lived on a bus with my in-laws yeah it was awesome honestly i was a little nervous
going on this thing 12 weeks is a really long time i had never gone anywhere that long in my life
going from like from what what city to what city so we had 50 cities across the u.s.
so we didn't leave the country but we went to basically every major city yeah in the country
okay well how many 50 cities 12 weeks how many days is that you're having you're doing a show
multiple shows a week five five shows a week wow yeah yes so it was were you in the show
i wasn't i worked behind the show so their dog is also in the show i was in charge of their dog
cute so me and her hung out all the time and i helped her get on and off stage and then i also
went on a bus with my family and then we went on a bus with my family and then we went on a bus with
my family and then we went on a bus with my family and then we went on a bus with my family and we
got to work with that and it was so fun yeah and we were also on a different bus than my family
yeah there's two big buses and each bus had the a room in the back like the suite and so we took
the suite of the crew bus because we were the only other couple yeah and then my family was on the
other bus we a couple nights we would go over there to play games with my siblings and stuff
yeah so we had a good time but for most for the most part we were on a different bus and we were
on a different bus and that made it um honestly a little more manageable because during the day
it's not like we were just with them the whole time we we had our own space to sleep in a full
room and stuff which helps but it honestly was awesome it was way better than i expected i feel
like i actually got really close with his siblings it was just a once in a lifetime opportunity i've
never thought i would go on tour and so i actually thought it was great way better than i expected
yeah how do you sleep like are you sleeping walled the bus or are you sleeping on the bus
moves yes so we never knew where we were going to end up usually we just would go to bed and
wake up in a new city and it was great but yeah it got rocky some nights especially going through
the mountains or wherever we were driving it people get car sick sometimes it'd wake you up
because you're shaking so bad so but you get used to it i feel like you can't use the bathroom on
the bus you can't shower on the bus you can't use the bathroom on the bus you can't go number two
yes the number one rule is you can't go number two is what they always say yeah i don't know why
but did anybody else sleep on the bus yeah i don't know why but i don't know why i don't know why
i don't think so they said it was like a 500 fine or something well some people got sick and they
like threw up in there and they got in trouble for that you're like what do you do i know because
no like where do we go oh okay yeah that's one of those things you don't think about like i feel
like i was like romanticizing this bus a little bit and now i'm like no it was terrible and the
the first leg we got lucky because my parents bus smelled so bad like urine just when they got it
yeah i smelled so bad something wrong with the pipes broken so our bus was totally normal and
their bus they couldn't hang out in the family room area um we had a little so sick yeah we had
a little break in between and then we went back out on tour and their bus was much better that's
when we were able to go and play games but i kind of felt bad for them those first few weeks they
you're like stay over there i'm just picturing an entire herd of like little children doing
like ninja moves while watching you guys perform is that what
is that what this looks like kind of it was really fun you should you should are we coming to
arizona this next no i think we're staying on the east coast because it's a much shorter tour
this year it's only two weeks yeah really quick we'll travel i mean they would love we could get
you tickets they think they're ninjas they think they're ninjas it's so awesome that's yeah except
they can't say ninjas they say engines yeah our young our youngest instead of calling it many
ninjas he calls it uh many many engines that's actually where they're having their birthday
party i'm giving away
it is actually the coolest show you would think you'd go and it's just like a little kid show but
it's a full storyline scripted show i've watched it what over 50 times now and it's actually so
entertaining you guys would love it we've had many parents come up to us and just be like i
didn't expect to come with my kids and enjoy it because we do a lot of fun stuff acrobatics type
things and then it's very interactive with the kids which is fun
that's so cool your parents were always entrepreneurs right because they if they
started this martial arts gym like so they had the like the base knowledge of like how to run
something like this but i'm sure they never intended on it becoming what it has become
like exactly size that is pretty wild that's pretty cool so does everyone in your family
did have to be a ninja i guess apparently pretty much yeah imagine marrying into a family where
all of them have the most insane skills you show up and everyone's just hucking backflips and
can you do a backflip i'm learning i can do it on the tramp we just made a video where he taught me
to do a backflip in like four hours on the ground she face planted a few times i face planted a few
times but i got it a couple other times cute but they're just a very athletic skilled family
i think that's sweet you're like trying to learn the family trade like you're like all of them are
doing okay here we go this hasn't been announced yet but we are gonna be in the circus this year
- No way.
- They called us and they want us to
come do a couple shows in the,
What is it?
What's the circus called?
It's the biggest circus.
Rigby or something?
Rick and, no, we'll have to look it up.
I don't remember what it's called.
Ringling?
Ringling Brothers.
That's amazing.
Yeah, we're going to be on the Ringling Brothers Circus.
Yeah.
That would be a good time.
You guys need to do a residency in Vegas.
Seriously?
Seriously.
A Vegas show.
No, actually, for real.
But wait, maybe that's not.
Maybe that's family friendly in Vegas.
Yeah, maybe Branson.
But maybe it'd be good to have a family friendly show in Vegas.
Because people are like, families go to Vegas.
Wait, hold up.
No, this is where your residency would be.
Branson, Missouri is like, have you guys heard of Dollywood?
Yeah.
Yeah, in Tennessee.
So Branson has a very similar vibe to that.
There's Silver Dollar City, which is actually owned by the same company that owns Dollywood.
But there's just a ton of different country music artists.
But there's also a lot of family performers.
Family performers.
Interesting.
Like family singer groups.
There's just all sorts of family shows.
That would be like, Branson, Missouri would love you guys.
Branson would be very grateful to have you.
Yes, exactly.
All wholesome.
You know, nothing.
Yes.
Yeah, very different than like a Vegas show.
It's honestly, it's like a very wholesome version of Vegas in a way.
Cool.
So you've never been there.
You'll have to check it out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You guys need to go visit.
We're always pushing Branson.
Branson.
That's my childhood.
Branson, Missouri.
Branson, Missouri.
That's awesome.
That's awesome.
That's awesome.
What's like the most common question people ask you guys when they, when they see you
out, out and about, they see you in public.
Um, I mean, I always get the question, the pregnancy question, when are you having kids?
When is the next ninja babies?
They always ask me that, but what's another question?
They always say ninja 2.0.
That's funny.
Um, one thing they always ask, they, my family stopped making content for a long time and
so they haven't made videos on ninja kids for a couple of years.
And Ninja Fam, it's been over a year.
No way.
So one thing they'll ask about that and we're mainly the only ones making consistent content.
Okay.
Um, so there's been talks about, uh, revamping Ninja Fam.
I've also, um, there's been talks of revamping ninja kids and there's a chance I'll be like
a producer and ninja kids to create the content and bring on a new generation of, of ninja
kids.
Cause we'd love for this ninja kids to be a brand that grows well beyond our family.
That's great.
That's cool.
It wasn't meant to be a family channel.
Even from the first video, we had tons of other, um, actors in it and I was, I wasn't
a main character.
I was like a bully and then there were several other power rangers and so it was meant to
be a brand that could, you know, rival Disney one day.
And so the action parks is like the first step to that.
And so the goal with ninja kids is to create content with future kids, which there's a
lot of really talented kids out there and we want to give those kids a chance to shine.
And I think they used to have a chance in Hollywood, but that it's gone pretty much
Hollywood doesn't need people who are really good at stuff anymore because CGI is really
good.
All the old martial art actors are like the last one was, um, you know, who was shark
boy?
I forget his name.
He was in twilight.
Taylor Lautner.
We've had him on our podcast.
Oh yeah.
Oh, I watched it.
Taylor Lautner.
He's great.
Um, but you don't pronounce his name like that.
What was it?
Lautner.
I learned that from you guys.
Okay.
Sorry.
Continue.
But Taylor Lautner, he was like the last person that was really skilled to get into that world
and it's not really a thing.
And so we'd love to give more kids opportunities and then to grow the brand into something
that, uh, out, um, that lives for a long time.
Yeah.
I can already see a show coming out of this.
Honestly, finding the next ninja kids.
Yes.
Like kids would think that was so cool and fun to try out for.
The new ninja kids.
That's a really great idea.
I like that.
We want ninja kids to keep going.
It's got huge potential.
And so finding great kids is honestly the easy part.
It's finding great adults to run the content.
And, um, my family and my dad, we, there was so much happening and so much going on that
we couldn't keep everything up.
Um, so we're trying to build the team, um, from the bottom up to potentially restart
the, the content to bring you back to life.
I'm, I'm confused though, because, okay, two things.
One, I, I looked at the ninja kids channel.
I saw that you guys posted nine months ago.
Was that like a collab?
It was probably a compilation.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
That makes sense.
And then the other question I had is.
Did you leave?
I thought, I thought I saw a video that was like, I left, I'm gone from the ninja fam.
Right.
That was probably when I left on my mission.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
So there was like an, I'm leaving.
I think it was after that.
It was you, it was like shopping for a house.
Oh yeah.
I'm leaving the ninja fam house.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Yeah.
So that's what it would have been.
That was on my channel actually.
But it also was because there was different ninja kids.
You guys aren't kids anymore.
Right.
And so you guys had other people acting on ninja kids TV.
And so he kind of was like, I'm going to focus on my main.
We actually did try that.
We did a talent search.
Yes.
And the talent search was really successful.
The kids were awesome.
It did well.
But that was also when we were handing off, not just new kids, but new creatives and the
creatives just didn't have what it took to keep the brand going.
And so my dad just shut it down until we can find creatives.
But yeah, left the ninja fam, moved out of the house that was just before we got married.
I moved into an apartment with a friend.
And so that was that video was, uh, was going on your mission.
Was that, was that humbling?
Was that like to just to go from being on camera a lot and you know, people recognizing
you, I'm sure you still got recognized for your mission.
Um, but yeah, to go and like commit yourself to service, was that kind of like a hard shift
to get used to?
I, I loved it honestly because I, I'd been doing YouTube since I was a kid and it was,
it was honestly the perfect time in my life.
I just became an adult.
It was the perfect time to leave and go experience something else rather than what I grew up
in.
It wasn't just me being a YouTuber.
It was about, it was time to go be selfless and see what the rest of the world is like.
Yeah.
And of course I still had a lot on my mission.
I did get recognized.
I did a couple assemblies and things like that because, yeah, so that was fun.
Um, to explain that for people that don't know what you're talking about, like what
is, what is this an assembly that you did?
Right.
So in one of my areas that I was in, there was a school teacher and she, she knew about
the Ninja kid stuff and she was like, Hey, you should come to my school and do an assembly
at the school.
And so I think that was a really cool opportunity.
My mission president
Did you have to get special permissions?
Yeah.
So basically the leader of the mission, I called him up and he said, that's fine.
He was a big fan of using your talents and I didn't go up and preach.
We didn't talk about the church at all.
Okay.
I had a name tag on, but besides that, it basically wasn't mission related very much.
I just went up, I did a few flips, talk to kids, um, Ninja kids.
It was a great thing for family values, which align well with religion and Christianity.
And so it was more about being a great person and showing respect to your parents.
And that definitely comes from our martial arts background as well.
So we were able to share some of those things.
We did some challenges with the kids at the school and I think it was a super cool opportunity.
That's really sweet.
That's cool.
Okay.
I'm just so curious.
This is such a dumb question, but martial arts versus martial arts.
Is Taekwondo versus karate?
What is, is martial arts both of those is what's, what's the, I had that same question.
I don't know.
I need to know cause I need to sign some kids up.
So martial arts is, I'm sure you've heard MMA.
So mixed martial arts, mixed meaning basically all different styles.
You're learning different styles.
So it's karate, Taekwondo.
And so I did martial arts, our base was Taekwondo, but we did jujitsu, grappling, Muay Thai, and
all of those things are kind of different.
And so martial arts is just enveloping all the different fighting styles together basically.
And learning those things.
So Taekwondo is more traditional like forms and it's very, and, um, I liked watching you
do MMA boxing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Have you fought somebody before?
Have you ever like punched somebody in the face?
So I've done sparring with full gear.
I've never been in a street fight or anything and I don't know why as a kid, I always kind
of wanted to, I'm not the kind of person to hop into a fight, but I always felt like
I'd do pretty good.
Like I'd be ready if it happened to happen.
But I did do sparring, um, especially as a kid, I did a lot of sparring and that was
a fun time.
I feel like it would get, it would suck to get punched in the face.
Broken nose.
Oh yeah.
You probably had some serious injuries.
Yeah.
I've broken 10 bones.
Oh my.
How?
Walking through all 10.
All different things.
That's a great.
Okay.
I've broken my collarbone.
This was Christmas Eve sledding into a tree.
Okay.
Not ninja related.
I don't think any of them are ninja related.
Nothing too crazy.
Uh, I mean this one was gymnastics.
I broke my elbow.
Um, how do you break your elbow?
So I was vaulting.
Um, I don't, the, the event, the vault and I was just doing a round off.
It was a simple thing and it just kind of hyper extended the bed the other way.
Yeah.
Oh, I've broken both my wrists.
I've broken my knee.
some fingers and toes and i don't know yeah ten total a couple other things yeah luckily i haven't
had anything huge i've never needed needed a major surgery um and so nothing stung by a deadly
jellyfish true i did see that thumbnail that looked pretty intimidating yeah deadly yeah so
it's a portuguese man o'war and they they can be was it in hawaii it was in cabo yeah okay that
happened to abby she got she got stung by a portuguese man o'war yeah we think we that's
what all all of our neighborhood local kids were like that's what that is okay they told us it
wasn't super bad but it was not good yeah yeah i peed on it no you did not and also it was i
didn't get stung bad but yeah that still is not fun yeah it did not feel good and i never felt
like my life was in danger luckily but it was really painful i got stung on the calf and
something about how it works it just goes up your nervous system and so it hurt really bad
and my groin and then like all the locals are spraying with windex apparently that helps the
it didn't feel like it but this doesn't feel right yeah you're supposed to not put this on
your body but the best thing was jumping in the hot tub that was that kept the pain from spreading
and i don't know if it would have ever been a permanent thing or actually harmful but it was
painful for an hour or two that's freaky and you're in mexico you're kind of like okay what
do we do yeah i didn't want to go to the hospital if i needed to what are the craziest things you
guys have traveled a ton already what are some of the craziest things like have you skydived
have you we have gone skydiving i would say for me the craziest thing we did
we flew to london for the weekend and we went wing walking do you guys know what that is
oh my gosh oh my god i think so but describe it to me yes you're literally strapped on the top of an
airplane while it's flying it was crazy and we did a loop loopy loops while i was on top of the
airplane it was so cool it was crazy i thought my face was gonna fall off yeah do all that stuff
before you have how do you do it because i think afterwards my fear has gotten so much worse how
do you do the loop i don't understand how like the plane the plane you're just strapped on and
it goes you're oh so they the plane goes upside down this was in london yeah i would not have
thought this was a london excursion so it's actually shut down shut down here yes why do you get shut
down here because it sounds right so the main guy that did it here in the u.s did something really
dangerous with two i think it was his grandkids they were like 11 years old and he had them not
strapped in he just had to hold on to the part of the plane while he did a loop-de-loop and brought
him back down so they didn't fall i don't know how they held on to the plane would they have
parachutes on i have no idea i heard they i don't think so please tell me you wear a parachute when
you do this thing no how are you not what you're strapping in with like a good harness
and you just are standing there no i'm wearing a parachute did you tell your parents before you
did this or did you just do it they're all on board my parents i don't think i told you were
raised by different people his parents are adrenaline junkies they're crazy awesome my
parents my mom gets really nervous we tell her mom after we do my mom is this kindest soul but
yeah she was a little nervous so i just don't tell her things until after so wait like i got
scuba certified and she was stressed after i told her that yeah what'd she say about wing walking
oh i don't even know i can you remember she tries not to react she tries to pretend like she's cool
but it really stresses her out but i need someone in my life that keeps me like that but she cares
a lot yeah i'm skydive certified so i took her skydiving yeah and so we went and that was a fun
time that's so cool yeah and we like she got scuba certified for our honeymoon and we went scuba
diving with sharks and sharks that made me nervous yeah but it turned out great that's awesome okay
we did ask our audience
to submit some questions for you guys okay and if it's okay the first one is from lizzie she said
what was your first big argument in marriage oh our first big argument we never argue i can't even
think of one um first i couldn't tell if you were no we're pretty good but you know everyone has
something i can't do can you think of a first big argument well when i was watching the brock and
the toilet paper being the wrong way for sure she puts the toilet paper on wrong that that's so funny
which way does she put it on towards the wall i guess you know what i mean so like it comes down
towards the wall that is well she doesn't do it on purpose that's not why she prefers she just
doesn't think about it like i do oh you just never once thought about how you just put the
i have too many things to think about i just like put it on yeah exactly about the direction
sometimes you know if i'm in a rush if i'm scrambling i'm like oh no we're out
no time by the way it's a lot of work to put that thing on there
it's true but getting used to living with someone where you're obviously we have a lot of similarities
but we're inherently different one example i'm a lot more
introverted
introverted than she is she's more extroverted most people don't know that because i grew up on
youtube but it's it's a skill i've had to grow and so she's always like feels like i'm never
responding to her when i'm like i just i'm not talking right now i don't feel like i need to
talk and she's always talking and it's just it's just a different um life experience getting to
learn and grow together yeah really learning a different personality yeah it's been really fun
but different you have different times that you both are
watching and you're like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god
wanting to go to bed because i feel like that was a major hurdle that we still we finally resolved
but that was like he was like such a night owl i was like it's time for bed like what are we doing
here like did you feel like that was a hard or were you guys already aligned that's better to
go that was one of our best things we're very aligned we are very on it she will not go to
sleep without me it's never happened i literally can't either it's so fun it's the best i'm like
it's the best thing about bacon berry is that you don't have to sleep alone yes exactly but we have
time is bedtime for you guys we just started a new routine as of today yeah this morning we woke
up we waking up is hard for us we love staying up late and sleeping we're night owls yes but we woke
up at 6 30 this morning and that's what we want our new routine to be so we go to bed around 10
or 10 30 we were really proud of ourselves today yeah we got a full workout in before we usually
wake up it was great but usually i don't know between eight and nine is usually when we wake
up but we're trying to we're trying to do earlier just so we can be more productive during the day
i think one really hard thing in our marriage has been because we're entrepreneurs and we're all
we're always thinking about business and we're always working it's hard to know when that time
is that we can spend that time together and we never clock out is so right i'm sure you guys
feel that too we're learning how how do we clock out because our brains are always thinking about
the next thing i don't know if you ever figure it out i don't know no i feel like we force ourselves
to think about it and i feel yes so when you have kids it's easier because they get you on a schedule
and you know that you have to be there and be present for them so like five o'clock isn't hard
what's hard for me is like my brain like even it's like i i dropped out of college to do tick tock but
before i did that like how i got through college and high school and um you know even got good
grades was just always always just like working and not at the night at night time and so like
growing our youtube channel like growing um our yeah youtube tick tock growing everything i've
always just been a night owl as well and just over the past like year i've kind of turned
to just spend all that time with abby but now i feel incredibly lazy because i'm not getting nearly
as much done as i used to we get that so we feel like so we're like if we wake up earlier maybe
we'll feel productive some quality time did it work out or yeah i mean then you have kids and
then you're just i believe in you yeah i'll mess it up i believe yeah you will figure it out you're
gonna make it happen thank you thank you um another question this question came from hannah
says how did you know you were meant to be together oh kind of talked a lot you can start
i i think a huge sign was just she was a person that i could see my ideal life with and i we
loved adventure and we we wanted a similar path and i think there's so many amazing people out
there so many amazing girls um but not very many people that want the that have the same vision for
life and what that looks like because there's so many different paths you can go that you can go
down so i think just finding someone that has a similar path and a similar moral compass that we
can come together and feel like we click and and someone that was my best friend i think those were
my um my most important things i was looking for and i think she filled those boxes and we met in
the coolest way i'm like it must be fate so um but yeah we just had a really great time dating
and our lives meshed really well and and i think that's how i knew that we that we should get
married you put that so beautifully now how do i top that i would say something similar i was
really looking for a good genuine person that wanted the same life as me as well and also
my goal i would love to be a mom and i was looking for someone to be a great dad and
i see him with all these cute subscribers and he's just so
sweet and so nice so i was just looking for a good person that's great yeah that's really
sweet you guys that is really sweet this next one is from grace crossley i don't know okay
Okay. Yeah. Great. This is from Grace. She said, what is it like living apart from family for the
first time? I guess that's more question geared towards you. Yeah. So I did have about six months
before Jade and I got married. Um, Oh, actually I served a mission. Um, so as a part, I, I was
ready. I've always been the person to want the next thing. And my younger brother, Ashton, he's
not that way, but I I've always been the person who's just ready to do the next thing. So I was
ready to move out and go experience that. And I get to see my family enough. We still see them
multiple times a week. And so I still feel very close to them, but I, I was ready to do my own
thing. I wanted to grow up and I wanted to experience life and I wanted to grow. And
there's just some things you can't learn when you're in your parents' house. And so I just
wanted to get out and experience the world and, you know, have to figure things out on my own.
I liked that. I liked what you said right there. What's something that you've learned since
leaving your parents' house? Something that you really couldn't have learned from them and you
had to just learn through experience. Yeah. I think one big thing is my, my life was very
scheduled for me. Okay. Like we did gymnastics, martial arts, we'd film YouTube videos,
but learning to schedule your own life, put your own priorities,
learn to, you know, pay bills and do the normal life, go grocery shopping for yourself and
really not have someone always looking out for you, which having a great mother who can do that
is such a blessing, but it's also a great skill that you need to learn. Cause if you don't learn
it, you're going to, you're going to feel like you're behind. And if I didn't already know some
of those things going to marriage, then that might've felt more awkward for you. Cause you
would have been my new mom.
It happened to take care of me, but I wanted to, I've always been very self-sufficient in that way.
I like it.
This one says, do you miss doing parkour? And what was your fave thing about it?
Yeah. I, I love parkour. I, I honestly need to.
So you need to know where this lies on the realm of martial arts. Is it the same thing?
Yeah. No, that's completely different.
He has so many talents. I don't even know.
Yeah. Parkour is basically getting from point A to point B as fast as possible. And so that's like,
vaulting and flipping over walls and things like that. Um, so I loved parkour and I honestly
haven't been doing very much Ninja warrior. I haven't been doing very much parkour or even
martial arts. The main training I've been doing is what I'm doing in the shows. Um, but the rest
I've been really busy. And so that's something I need to make sure I hone my skills cause I'm
going to lose them if I, if I don't do them at all. So I need to get back out there every once in a
while.
And, um, I'm a little bit bigger than I was when I was doing parkour a lot in Ninja warrior. So
I could lose 10 pounds probably and make it a little easier. But, um, but yeah,
it's so funny. Maya says, what was the best part about touring?
And then she also had the followup of what was the hardest part. So whichever one comes to you
first, I can say my favorite part of touring. I met so many cute and awesome people. It was just
a time to actually put the people on the screen. Like they watch,
I got to meet them in person. How cool is that to fully see who you're who's watching you? It was
great. Yeah. It's more than a number and being able to impact lives that that was a really great
thing to see because my dad had a vision when he started Ninja kids to impact people's lives,
to go out there and do more than just watch YouTube and to go out on tour and see that
we're successful and have fun and see all these lives that we touch.
It was so amazing. You know, that's honestly why we do it and why we're going to do it again.
I, the show aspect is fun, but it's nothing near getting to. When does the next tour start?
Uh, is it August, September time? Yeah. End of August sometime. Cool. You said that's more the
East coast. Yeah. I forgot about that. But what was, what was the worst part? What was the hardest
part? Maybe sleeping on my legs. I was going to say, I was tired a lot. What else would you say?
It was really hard to be
productive outside of touring because it took up your whole life and almost we were so busy
outside of tour that it was almost, we had to put our lives on pause. So it was really nice getting
home. Going home was great after tour. That's true. We couldn't make as many videos cause it
was busy. Yeah. Cause I love touring, but it's not my life. It's not something I don't want to
be a tour person. I don't want to have to do shows constantly. I think a couple of weeks out of the
year is great. I don't think I wouldn't have done that. I wouldn't have done that. I wouldn't have
done the 12 weeks again. Honestly, this year it was a great one time experience, but I don't think
I would have done it again. Um, for you, it was hard on your body. You're hurt your back really
bad. I forgot about that. I mean, I just got sore just doing the same thing every day. And so I
don't think I'm a constant performer for the rest of my life. So I don't think I'll be opening a
show in Vegas, but no, I don't want to go out for a couple of weeks and meeting the people.
That's cool. Yeah. That's what I enjoyed. Okay. So you just like casually mentioned America Ninja
Warrior while we were talking. It got me thinking about what your experience was like competing in
that show. Can you tell us about that? Yeah. Uh, we love American Ninja Warrior and actually we
started Ninja Kids and they called us and was like, Hey, we want you on our show. That was when
we were a little bit younger. I was 14 and they were opening the American Ninja Warrior Junior
show. So we had never done Ninja before. And then we went out, started practicing. We went on the
show. We all completed the course at a buzzer. Um, and then we went out and we started practicing
together. Um, but none of us got close to winning or anything. Um, but then me and my siblings, we,
we loved it. So we kept training and then we all got to go on the adult show together, um, all
together on the same season. And so it was a really cool experience to go out there. Honestly,
I did pretty bad on the adult show. I saw a video of you doing it though. You looked really good.
Like there was a TikTok I saw where you're going from thing to thing and you somehow were on this
wheel and like went,
up like, like the, like one wheel was like lower than the other graphic on the screen.
Show a video on the screen of this. Like it was crazy how you just flew in the air upwards.
Yeah. I think I'm a, I think I'm a decent Ninja. I didn't go in expecting to win,
but I fell on balance. And so balance is really tricky because it's hit or miss.
It can take out even if you're really good. Cause one tiny mess up when you're doing hanging off
obstacles, it's really how strong are you? And you can get it pretty consistent every time. But
balance is a hard thing, especially when it's a balance course you've never tried before. And so
I fell on balance and it was like third or fourth obstacle. Um, so that was disappointing, but the
next year, the rest of my siblings went on again. I didn't compete again. I should have my sister
airs tonight actually. Um, yeah. And, but yeah, I, I thought it was a cool opportunity and my
and yeah, that's their main focus. How do you, how do you make money doing that? You don't make a lot
of money. I don't think they've ever made money off of doing it besides potentially making YouTube
videos about it. Um, but they, they're like world champions. They're on the USA team. Yeah. My brother
Ashton, he's really good and he won world finals in Sweden, Sweden. That's so that's pretty cool.
Got second goodness. So they're pretty good at Paxton's pretty good too, but he's in the same
competitive realm as his older brother. And so he, it's hard to compete, but yeah, I was going to
ask, are you guys really competitive with each other? We're really competitive. We've done tons
of challenges and the competitiveness is real. So is it ever like actually hurt your relationships
or is it just like fun competition? No, we can get upset for sure. And I think our relationship
are strong enough. We work through it, but it's a real big deal. We just did a challenge recently.
Honestly, it'll probably be our last YouTube challenge we do in that way. Um, and it's coming
out this next week, but I don't think we're going to do much competition because we're changing so
much. I'm not training as much as I used to. So I'm falling behind. That's like their main priority.
And then my younger brother Paxton has a hard time sometimes keeping up just because of the age
difference. Um, so I don't know if we'll do much competing in YouTube videos anymore, but we'll
always be competitive on who's better. Ashton, he wrote in his 10 year goal to beat me at an arm
wrestle. He'll never beat me, but he's training. So I gotta make sure, um, I gotta make sure I stay
up to shape, but, but yeah, we're very competitive. That's I know that someone on the recent Mr. Beast
Ninja Warriors on the show. Yeah. I know both of them, you know, them both. Yeah. Yeah. I think
Beast Games would be really cool. It's a little different coming from an influencer perspective.
Um, I'd love to be a part of Beast Games and maybe go collaborate. I don't know if I
necessarily need to go sign up and compete for, for the money, but I think he did a great job
on the series, but Ian Weber, who won the Island, he coaches my siblings. Yeah. He's great. No way.
Yeah. And actually right after the, after, right after the episode aired,
he called up my parents and was like what do i do with this much money because i think he was
my parents were like the only ones he knew that had money and so he came over smart with their
money so i actually saw follow-ups he bought some cars didn't he no no that was just that was fake
okay he's very smart we're good that's funny you're like your parents were like buy a bunch
of luxury cars i have a great plan for you yeah but he he got all the money so he hasn't paid
taxes yet so it's about maximizing how much he can earn through a money market or something before
he has to pay taxes and so that was a kind of cool thing you even talking about just like all these
like logistics behind the scenes your parents i guess how do they set you up to be where you are
today like where you're like independent you're still in the entrepreneurial space you didn't want
to leave it but you're recreating something your own like that's probably a big question to ask but
i'm just interested from a parent perspective my parents were raised very differently um my dad
didn't have a father figure in the home and my my grandma married four different guys throughout
his childhood and so he didn't have a strong family he left home at 17 and he he was on his
own and so it was up to him and it was up to him to learn and he had a lot of failures and
successes just learning through the pains of of what most people don't learn and so he wanted to
set us up in a different way because he wasn't set up like that my mom had a more normal childhood
with she had parents and stuff but she still didn't have parents who taught her about
money finances and so that was very important to them to to teach to us because you're right
the education system doesn't do a great job at teaching those things um so that was very
important to them and i think that's a really important thing to do and i think that's a really
important thing to do and i think that's a really important thing to do and i think that's a really
that's not cool but if you were accidentally like oh i think that's really cool that you do i can be
like you're kind of flirting i wouldn't really care but it's more of your intention i guess
do one of you tend to be like a little bit more jealous type than the other probably probably me
i'd say yeah i'd probably say i'm more more jealous you answered that so quickly i would
think so i don't i don't think you're overly jealous but i think i don't know maybe i'm more
chill personality about that i don't know how she's more chill i don't know what you said
i think she had more relationships and she likes to flirt i just like to flirt all the time yeah
she was more of a flirt in high school um and i wasn't around as much he dated one girl for
a long time yeah yeah and i had a couple boyfriends okay i'm gonna how about you just
take over because i'm just not i guess i don't know if we're saying if we agree or not i'm gonna
say though what bugs me is if someone now this is gonna make me look like i've done this i have not
oh no nor would ever where is this going but like when someone's like did you hear that this person
like cheated and you're like oh my gosh it's like yeah they kissed so and it's i'm like you gotta
you gotta like specify for me yeah what kind of cheating yeah yeah there's a scale the type of
cheating right because if someone's like they cheated and it's like oh they they kissed this
person at a bar like that's not cool you don't do that like yeah yeah pump the brakes on that
yeah that's also like there's a huge difference between that right like the actual yeah i i get
saying because like the flirting i would be like okay that's kind of not cool you wouldn't just
call that cheating right i i wouldn't be mad it's not like we're done you flirted no i wouldn't do
that but we would just have a conversation if we were uncomfortable or something yeah it would take
more than that to like it to be done yeah agree to disagree couples should combine their finances
after getting married
oh see we're back to finances we love finances three two one agree i would agree with that
that's good i'm even stronger on this one than the last one for sure i think it's really important
if you're going to be a team with someone i think it's a great thing to combine and do things
together and especially money is really hard for a lot of people and you know if you're not doing it
as a team it's going to be more difficult and if you're not yeah so i'd rather do it as a team than
separately are you anti-prenup um no we have a prenup we signed a prenup wait you guys signed
a prenup yeah wait no i want to know more yeah so we we have a prenup it just felt like the smart
thing to do my my parents had talked even her parents were like you should have her sign a
prenup she's loaded she basically don't have her sign it no they wanted me to sign it yeah
i didn't grow up with like crazy wealth and so i didn't really know anything about it when someone
says prenup
it's a very awkward conversation i immediately was like you're just planning our divorce like
you don't trust me you know um but the more i did research on it it was he's tied to a lot
of family businesses with ninja kids and stuff and i did not want to come to this marriage for
that reason i had no ill intent and so yeah it ended up being totally fine dotted line yes i was
like i just want to marry you for you i'm not coming in this because of you're part of ninja
kids that's weird but it is an awkward conversation it really hurts your feelings when it's first
my feelings hurt i was like you want me to sign a prenup yeah it and the worst part was
it is an awkward thing and so i kind of pushed it off until the night before the wedding so it was
really we were showing up at the bank at closing time to notarize i had to leave my bridal party
yeah i was doing to go sign a prenup i was a little bit sad i was like why did you wait until
the last day yeah you're like i girls just hold it i literally was like i'm gonna sign a prenup
my husband you're soon to be yeah i was like guys i have to run to the bank real quick i'll be back
like why yeah so it's really it is a really awkward thing planning on what if worst case
scenario yeah it just kind of sucks we're really hoping i mean obviously things have been going
great and we're hoping it's never an aspect of our lives totally most of the time it's not yeah
it just felt like a smart thing to do does it have a sunset period or like some sort of clause
some sort of clause where it just goes away like if you're married
30 years does it does it just no we didn't i chose not to plan that far i chose not to listen
to the details my attorney was like you got it did you get did you get like an attorney to like
review this thing well part of the part of the issue was i made one on chat gpt you made the
prenup on chat gpt so romantic because he was so nice and he's like i feel so awkward i'm just not
gonna get a lawyer i'm just gonna chat gpt and have you sign it right my lawyer checked
and he's like, "This can be
be like i could take this to court it wasn't it wasn't a great it wouldn't have worked out i could
have taken everything and i didn't want to do that no i wanted him to be set up too and so i was like
well let's write a good one if we're gonna do this i'll help you out and then my parents had
their attorney look over after that and so there was kind of all the day before the wedding i was
stressed this all happened everything we got a lawyer they got a lawyer the day because i had
my chad gpt one ready but it wasn't approved by people's families which is why it was last day
how many days before the wedding did you do your chad gpt prenup i don't know a couple weeks but
i probably spent like five minutes on it it wasn't like see this is so interesting yeah because when
we were like yeah combine your finances we were talking about like broke $250 we were like yeah
no problem yes
you
and so i think you i feel like the way you went about it was like it's it's prioritizing the
marriage and also just not being right you know negligent of businesses that you have like
established previously right and i wasn't even a part of that so i don't care to have the ninja
kid stuff like i didn't grow that so yeah i was just like i don't care if i sign a prenup but
before my wedding i was mad yeah it was like i'm focusing on the next day tomorrow's a big day
tomorrow is a huge day i'm waking up before i'm for my makeup
that's
it would have been a lot easier if i would have planned it more officially ahead of time but he's
sweet and just didn't want to bring it up learning experience i feel like everyone has to crash out
the day before the wedding right i certainly did so your finances are now combined right but the
prenup protected everything you had before okay so the prenup doesn't the prenup doesn't protect
any money so we'd we'd still split money 50 50 it's just the business itself yes so you don't
have equity in ninja kids you don't have equity right right in the bride to my channel your
channel that's yours yes right got it then i do in our couple's channel because we started that
after gotcha okay yeah that makes a lot of stuff i wasn't a part of i'm not but she'd still make
half the money from even what we're doing right now together okay it's just she wouldn't own the
business or future plans because there was another creator that did that with his wife and they didn't
have a prenup and so they couldn't even upload after because there were disputes like two and a
two people own the channel and they don't like each other anymore you know i mean so it wasn't
about the money she can keep all the money that we were growing together but it's i want to have
be the one to have the say on the channel which is valid i don't want to just have to shut down
because yeah because especially because it's something i had long before yeah our relationship
that is a really awkward thing yeah it's a hard one to have awkward hey you know what it's done
it is you did it and you did it and it'll never be relevant day before
play another role in your life have you guys talked about that since that day was this the
first time talking pretty much no kind of an invention we it was there were some hurt feelings
in the beginning just because of the timing literally was mainly why but we don't really
talk about a ton and we've never shared that this is the first time we've shared this information
i have talked about maybe i should get it virtually because there's nothing stopping
her from shredding that thing right now so
it's just
she's not crazy but like it'd be very easy for her to just go shred that and then
hey you know what you never know one bad fight you can really yeah alter every i'm not in your
whole future into a toilet paper yeah and that thing's getting shredded up i need to take some
pictures just in case oh my gosh okay well i would never now that we talked about our favorite thing
to talk about uh bickering yeah now that we talked about fighting let's do this one it's okay to go
to bed angry
our answer to this was different when we got married versus now
it's okay to go to bed angry three okay two one disagree oh no
we're different what's funny is that's literally the same answers that we would
yeah i disagree in the sense sometimes it gets late and we're not gonna figure it out
yes and you're yes yeah that agrees we're not gonna figure it out
until
the sun starts coming up so i'd rather get a good night's rest and we're always so much happier
in the morning do you wake up do you wake up happier no see that's what i'm saying
i think about it all night i dream about it all night we've never gotten to the point i've we've
always stayed in the same bed like i've never had to sleep on the couch or anything and so we
weren't angry enough that we couldn't literally be next to each other yeah but there's been times
where we're like let's talk about it you just flip over but i don't like it yeah my personality i like
to trash it out right away like let's get this going let's just figure it out yeah but he's more
of a processor and i think that's great figuring out is great but if we're figuring out at 1 00 a.m
there's we're just our minds we're not gonna figure it out it's true and then it escalates
yeah and you're more tired and more feelings get hurt yeah and then it's just like a snowball i
haven't done this in a while i'm just way too tired oh my look and then you're just like and
then you think you think you're making the wise decision by saying you know what let's go to bed
and then it's like you don't care about this marriage and then that's a whole other fight
but you know what i've just been you're so lucky i've just been so exhausted i have no fight left
it's just shocking honestly i think it's i think we've we've both gone to therapy and i think that
really also did i think that's really helped that did some things yeah it's really good that stuff
is real okay agree to disagree it's okay to go to bed at different times different times agree yeah
but we never disagree because because we go to bed at the same time every day but i think
i think it would be okay in certain scenarios i wouldn't be mad but i'd be sad but i don't know
if it's necessarily always the most healthy thing like say if you don't have a different schedule if
she has a girl's night and she's gonna be out really late i don't necessarily need to stay up
all night right or if i stay up all night i don't necessarily need to stay up all night
versa but if we're just at home together then i'd probably say it's no we're gonna go to bed
together yeah you don't stay up till 2 a.m for your wife to come home i used to it actually would
make it worse because i'm like i just miss her the whole time and i wasn't having fun so it's
worked out better not staying up okay we've tried both jade does that work out better for you when
he's asleep when you come home yeah i stay out all night no no i miss him i always want him to
be waiting on the couch for me or something yeah
i just always go and wake him up i'm like hey i'll tell you about my night i do that too you
gotta wake him up gotta give him the lowdown exactly agree to disagree white lies are okay
if they spare your spouse's feelings oh agree to disagree we talked about this did we have we ever
talked about this okay this is such a good one oh no i don't know my answer three two one disagree
okay we said it together i don't know that was a hard one i could have gone either way but i feel
like i'm really honest
i'm gonna say we were both probably way too honest like too honest like i don't know i'm not worried
about hurting her feelings sometimes because she just knows it's coming from love right and so she
gets over it that's true if you show me enough love during the day i can take it if you need to
tell me something it's true but our biggest take yeah our biggest issue though is she doesn't feel
like oh no i'm scared if she asked me about an outfit i am not a style guy i i don't even know
if it looks good so i just feel like that's true i think that is a way i feel like i'm guessing
which isn't a white lie because i do like it but i also don't know like yeah i guess i it's great
if you like it so no man has opinions on outfits i do you but for me it really just comes down to
the way like the way it fits you i think that's what it is you're a pervert what's wrong i think
you look amazing i like i like uh he does not like baggy clothes i don't know well okay if it's baggy
like i don't want it to be like baggy pants and a baggy shirt fit your figure yeah you gotta pick
either the pants or the shirt this is actually the only thing that you actually form an opinion
on if i'm wearing it if you're like if it's too baggy or too loose i'm also 5'2 so sometimes when
i wear some really loose things like you get your i don't know the trends though right so like if
you're asking me about like trending stuff i don't know well my family they're not fashionistas and
so i never was uh jade's how to teach me ah and so i just trust her and you showed up on our first
date with skinny jeans and running shoes hey he's got skinny jeans on you those aren't skinny jeans
those are like slacks slacks khakis and they kind of are tight-fitting they're becoming skinny slacks
but the point is the gym i was she remembers what you wore i do remember because i was like
skinny jeans you're like this is gonna have to we're gonna workshop this we would have not have
gotten married if i didn't change my style oh okay that's a little dramatic this is bad skinny jade
fill me in skinny jeans are out right yeah they're out i mean they're coming back i think but i still
feel like boys shouldn't wear them see i'm so far out of the loop that like i'm probably gonna still
be wearing them honey you don't have any skinny jeans i don't anymore not a single pair she's
thrown them all away okay they are not they're not in your closet i haven't seen those but she
she's helped me in dress
or even your hair is way different true my hair is completely different i don't know if you've
seen his old things he used to do like a slick back he didn't even know he had curly hair until
me no way yeah she discovered that you had curly hair yeah yes he would go to puerto rico and he's
like my hair's kind of frizzy it's kind of like in the humidity and so i said we should
to try curly hair routine and he has really curly hair wow he would blow dry it every morning and
slick it back what a discovery yeah we have the same haircut what yeah wait wait oh this was your
haircut yeah this yeah just like a little side if matt's hair is curly under there that would be
crazy that was my haircut no way and that's not like and your hair just naturally does that yeah
yes everyone thinks he got a perm but it's real he just didn't know that's cool i know crazy i
told you honestly you are a genie oh you figured that out yeah agree to disagree checking your
partner's location is totally normal three two one agree totally do that all day that's my favorite
pastime yeah that's great why do you check each other's location just see where each other are at
you don't tell me when you're going somewhere yeah it's like you just know that i'll check it
i'm probably getting salad and go it's like where's that salad he wants to go get a salad
hungry that's funny
one time you were just walking around and i thought you were getting me a book
oh yeah i knew before you walk around the mall and i was like what is he doing at the mall
yeah that was funny yeah i think it's just a convenience thing right it's nice to have
and we're always together so when we're not together i kind of be like where are you going
what could you possibly be doing yeah uh agree to disagree social media can ruin a genuine moment
three two one agree oh sad i would agree with that
wait can you elaborate on what that means are you meaning like filming the moment or are you
meaning like if we're on our phone scrolling during a moment i would say filming the moment
i was thinking filming as well yeah i think sometimes the stresses of filming in the moment
we don't do a ton of vlogging that's kind of not what we do but sometimes it's like we have to hurry
and get this shot like this is important we can't miss it and it just causes some stress because
we're working you know yeah i think we don't vlog normally we don't vlog normally we don't vlog normally
normal everyday life and i've never been a vlogger yeah even ninja kids it was never everyday normal
life um but we'll we'll vlog big things like our big adventures or big milestones and and so yeah
it does change the dynamic slightly but totally that's my problem with it is like i i as a creator
i love to like create the videos but then at the same time sometimes if you create too much yeah
then it's like you're robbing yourself of just like living the moment and not right like the
angle did i like set up the
scene and explain what we're about to do and then and then sometimes i'll just say i'll just fix it
all in post with voiceover and then but then like you film the video and you're like oh gosh i have
to go through and figure out kind of this yeah explain what the heck's going on here hey i think
that was honest that was very honest yeah that is on but on the other side it's awesome because
you have a journal of what i did so i'm like it's so worth it in the end but sometimes and we'd film
it anyways it's just filming it for a different reason yes because all these big moments we've
all been filming it for a different reason and we've all been filming it for a different reason
and we've all been filming it for a different reason and we've all been filming it for a different
it's gonna be filmed so might as well just make it good yeah this one i know we asked brock and
boston kessley agree to disagree i've tasted coffee oh three two one agree what we're crazy
we might have to end the interview no that's so funny i've never had a full cup of coffee
but i've tasted it did you like it no i think it was just like black
dark coffee i don't know yeah well so the time one of the times i really remember tasting it we were
in finland and i thought it was hot chocolate and i was freezing i'm like let's go really sugary hot
chocolate they gave me black coffee and it was just gross that would be really scary if you're
thinking you're gonna have yeah it's just when you expect something else and it wasn't it just
wasn't good but we've never had like a sugary i've never ordered it but i'm sure it's better
than what we had to taste it the one time i was in front of me why did you have to taste it i don't
know what you're talking about i don't know what you're talking about i don't know what you're talking
about i don't know what you're talking about i don't know what you're talking about i don't know
what you're talking about i don't know what you're talking about i don't know what you're talking about
i really do want coffee every morning and i would always panic if we were staying with people that
didn't drink coffee because i was like what am i gonna do i'm a freak but um he was like we stopped
at starbucks he was like but what does it taste like and i was like i don't want to lead you
astray but if you take one sip of this is that gonna be a problem and he was like okay i'll take
one sip i was like i don't want to lead you astray but if you take one sip of this is that gonna be a
bad that was basically the thing i think the word of wisdom which is what not drinking coffee is
based on i think it should be more tailored towards health and i think people don't treat it as being
healthy and i feel like i'm plenty healthy to say i'm following the word of wisdom even if i do drink
a coffee here and there which i don't but i think it's about health and that's how it started it was
a word of wisdom not by commandment and it's become a commandment but i but you're not it's about health
to me yeah oh so it's not okay i'm sorry this is just a curious question i'll ask later have you
ever seen where they compare like a monster energy drink to a cup of coffee energy drinks yeah and
you're seeing like the difference in the in the health benefits i mean that there's no health
benefits but that's how bad they are for you yeah i don't know if i've ever had a monster but yeah
we don't drink energy we don't really the only energy what's the energy drink we had this morning
um i've tried alani alani's good we're just not big drink people which is
everyone is surprised about by being in utah i just don't love drinks i'd rather have like a treat
yeah i drink a lot of water that's good but you haven't drank your provided oh shoot what yeah i
gotta like dodge the mic hey you know what i mean i'm not ended that you guys haven't had this water
see now we pressured him agree to disagree
agree to disagree we look happier on social media than we are in real life
three two one agree wait
is agree the good one we look happier on social media than in real life do you think we look
happier well i think the moments that we're showing are genuine but we don't show that's true
any negative we're pretty happy it is genuine i feel like when we're showing it but we're not
really vloggers yeah and we don't spill our our drama and we don't hang our dirty laundry outside
yeah um which everyone has that's a great everyone has that yeah and so i think the moments we've
shared are genuine but we don't share everything that's good that's a good answer i like that i
felt sad when you first answered but it makes sense now yeah i was like we're not happy
you're like i'm having a great time yeah agree to disagree your spouse should come before your
family three two one agree easiest one yet yeah i feel like we've kind of talked about that a little
bit but i feel like you guys are good job of that okay getting married young as well i feel like
this is something that plays a more prominent role in your life i feel like this is something that
i'm going to roll them probably people that wait until their 30s to get married and so um it is
something you kind of have to be proactive in doing i feel like we had to as well like
and learn because it's like you kind of are just used to following the flow if if of your family
and like oh yeah they tell me what to do i do it we do like this is how we do things as a family
it's like oh wait we're establishing our own family now and you kind of have to be more of
a bulldog in that in my opinion if you get married super young especially as the oldest right like
you're like setting the the standard a little bit and so especially since you guys are both the
oldest right especially with how involved we are with my family it's really important to keep those
boundaries different because it was with her family it's pretty easy and her parents are really chill
it's very simple but with me working with my family it's a little more complex to keep it
yeah like she's my priority if something happens between us i i'm gonna go this direction and
it's it's much different yeah agree disagree it's okay to have a best friend of the opposite sex
oh okay three two one disagree
why do you disagree i don't like that i know we've had some friends we're laughing because
we've had some friends that have some problems with that and they come to us and it just doesn't
i just don't think it's a good look i don't know you're like i think we're having you're having
this problem because it's not yeah
i think if she did have a guy best friend or i had a girl best friend maybe there was
we'd have a different opinion potentially but we don't and so i i feel like it'd feel weird
if she had a guy best friend if she was ever sad would call him like i'd be like i'm right here
you don't have to talk to that guy okay we're ending on a very juicy one
okay all right agree to disagree we got married too young
oh sorry three two one disagree disagree i was gonna trick you no i disagree i i'm very glad we
got married young i think it's gonna be easy to grow our lives together i think we were ready
i think it just depends on the person i think some people at our age would be too young but
because it is a very young age but i think we both feel more mature yeah we were we were ready for
for that yeah i feel like the more that we haven't been married super long
we've been married seven years and i feel like the more that we like age out of that season the more
i'm grateful that we started when we did because we have so many things that i'm just like we
already know that about each other we've already crossed that bridge like we've we've crossed all
these bridges like i feel like we're just able to go further with and it's it's such a blessing that
we met each other when we did to be in this place now and it's so cool seeing you guys like at that
like beginning stage and it's so cool to see you guys like at that like beginning stage and
I mean, getting through the first year, I feel like the first year is usually like there's a lot.
