• 0:57The Fat Electrician?

  What's more powerful, I can submit you or you can do nothing to me? First time I met him, I rolled with him and he goes, your jujitsu is fucking gay.

• 1:04Donut Operator?

  I'd go out and find homeless people and I give them LSD and I'm like, I'm like the cops veins are made of copper.

• 1:09The Fat Electrician?

  Holy shit, I feel so good now.

• 1:11Donut Operator?

  Superman.

• 1:33The Fat Electrician?

  Three, two, one.

• 1:38Donut Operator?

  It's kinda cool. Oh, it's the killer apple. Oh, yeah. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the unsubscribe podcast. I'm joined today by Eli Double Tap, Bad Electrician, Steve Hargett, myself, Donut Operator. Thank you so much for being here.

• 1:50The Fat Electrician?

  What's up? Look, we got another Asian in the house.

• 1:55Donut Operator?

  Holy shit, we've been taking over since the last one.

• 1:57The Fat Electrician?

  Owner operator?

• 1:57Donut Operator?

  What?

• 1:58The Fat Electrician?

  Owner operator?

• 1:59Donut Operator?

  No, I said I'm Donut Operator.

• 2:00The Fat Electrician?

  Oh.

• 2:01Speaker 03

  Yeah, he's owner.

• 2:02Donut Operator?

  I can't owner operator. Yes, his new name, actually.

• 2:05The Fat Electrician?

  Owner operator here.

• 2:07Donut Operator?

  It's me and a bunch of fucking minorities on this podcast. The Asians are taking over. Oh, man, I would like to know while we're talking about it, what happened after the podcast with those sweet Asian people?

• 2:20The Fat Electrician?

  Wait, hold on. What happened?

• 2:23Speaker 03

  We had two Japanese, or two people, uh, man, when was Mr. Was it Fukunara?

• 2:31Speaker 03

  Fukunami? Funaki, yeah. Funaki hasn't been to the United States in 50 years. It's a 75, 76 year old man. So, um.

• 2:41The Fat Electrician?

  Why does that matter?

• 2:44Speaker 03

  You'll see. Okay, you'll see. So a video went viral, uh, was it end of last year, right?

• 2:51Donut Operator?

  Yeah, it was December of last year.

• 2:52Speaker 03

  And it was a YouTuber, Adam, that was, he travels the world and he goes to that rural outskirts of, uh, in one of the Japanese locations, like north of Tokyo by two hours.

• 3:07Speaker 03

  And this old man is just cleaning his little school and it was like English teaching school, plus a little cafe and he's like, he's looking at him, he's like, oh, he waves him over and uh, they just started a conversation and Adam ended up hanging out with him for two days and bro, and he came down with his daughter and it was some of the funniest, funnest moments and they are just sweethearts, but they were not ready for anything. Even the daughters lived here for four years, but she wasn't used to so everyone being so welcome. We're like, ah, hugs, all like talking very loud. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

• 3:52Speaker 03

  So they come onto the podcast, the dad starts talking and we don't know where the stories are going and they're just comedy gold.

• 4:01The Fat Electrician?

  He speaks English because he's an English teacher in Japan.

• 4:04Speaker 03

  Yeah. Yep.

• 4:05Donut Operator?

  But, cause I mean, the only thing we knew about him is that, that, that thing with his English school went viral. And so we're like, fuck it, let's have him on and see what he says. Dude, he talked about living in New York, being a taxi driver and getting blow jobs. And then at the end, he's talking about, yeah, I've got story. Like dude, this is awesome.

• 4:23The Fat Electrician?

  You know what they do with the egg? He went back to Japan.

• 4:27Speaker 03

  He opened the first Benihana in the United States.

• 4:31The Fat Electrician?

  I feel like that's a man's story.

• 4:32Speaker 03

  And he actually, they picked him because he was Asian.

• 4:38Speaker 03

  Oh, he's a Japanese man. He cooking the Japanese food. Very strong accent.

• 4:45Speaker 03

  Amazing. And then, uh, yeah, we were just laughing our asses off.

• 4:49The Fat Electrician?

  So you flew him here to be on the podcast or he moved back here?

• 4:54Speaker 03

  No, that was even cooler was we got extremely lucky. I seen that they just started their new Instagram page for the cafe and apparently doing really good. So I shot him a DM. I was like, hey, if you're ever in the United States, we would love to have you on the unsubscribe podcast. Think it would be a blast. The daughter, uh, Nanako replies and she's like, oh, uh, actually my dad's going to be coming visiting for his 76, 78th birthday. Um, next week we'll be in Texas. It was like fucking perfect. Well, whatever you need, we'll buy your tickets. We'll get you a hotel. Like we would love to have you both on. They show up wearing cowboy outfits. Like they were just having the true Texas.

• 5:36The Fat Electrician?

  stereotypical Asian tourist vibe. Wait, they were cowboys?

• 5:40Speaker 03

  Is it, uh, they dressed like cowboys for this. And now the dad has his store, which is really, the cafe is very America, like American flags and Elvis, he loves America. So that's what he wanted to have in Japan. And that's why when they were coming out here, we took him shooting, we took him and a homie was terrifying on a gun. So I'm kind of, dude, that level of an old 70 year old Asian man just going in the zone, never shooting a gun before. I'm like, oh, hold it like here, here. It's like, okay, ready.

• 6:10The Fat Electrician?

  Just finger, finger on the trigger, point it.

• 6:13Speaker 03

  Yeah. And he just goes to the 20 rounds like, oh, that was really, really good. And I point to the, the target. I'm like, holy fuck, homie. You just.

• 6:25The Fat Electrician?

  A zone.

• 6:25Speaker 03

  Oh dude.

• 6:26The Fat Electrician?

  A zone grouped.

• 6:27Speaker 03

  Yeah. No strays, even the, the range cadre. They were like, what the fuck? I was like, I don't know. And then the second.

• 6:34The Fat Electrician?

  There's some stories that he left out. For sure.

• 6:38Speaker 03

  But, uh, then they fired a whole bunch of different, uh, weapons, had food and then they went and got his first tattoo. He got a fucking tattoo.

• 6:47Donut Operator?

  What did you guys do to this?

• 6:49The Fat Electrician?

  Can't help it. We love bringing on foreigners onto the podcast. Our New Zealanders brought us a toaster.

• 6:56Speaker 03

  Yeah. Oh, and they brought us little, uh, like Lucky Charms.

• 7:00The Fat Electrician?

  Hell yeah.

• 7:01Speaker 03

  Lucky Charms.

• 7:02The Fat Electrician?

  That's what a show brought to.

• 7:03Donut Operator?

  What was the tattoo of?

• 7:05Speaker 03

  Uh, Texas.

• 7:06Donut Operator?

  Oh.

• 7:07Speaker 03

  Just a little, and on his arm, like right here, which I was exposed.

• 7:10The Fat Electrician?

  I doubt it. It's like a big no-no in Japan still, isn't it?

• 7:13Speaker 03

  Very big no-no.

• 7:14The Fat Electrician?

  Especially a rural part where he's from. There's like not tourists and stuff.

• 7:17Donut Operator?

  He's probably not going back though.

• 7:18The Fat Electrician?

  Well, I mean, I'm pretty sure the Yakuza's not branding themselves with the Texas outline either. So I mean, to be fair.

• 7:25Speaker 03

  And he wants, oh, uh, when we go, because we are going to all go there together. He wants us to come stay at his place, but he knows the, the sumo wrestlers that come from the Yokozuna. He's one of the Yokozuna.

• 7:36The Fat Electrician?

  People here.

• 7:39Speaker 03

  You're like, I ain't traveling.

• 7:40The Fat Electrician?

  Leaving America thing. It's not my vibe. I'm good.

• 7:44Speaker 03

  And that was Japan. Steve, hi. How you doing?

• 7:48The Fat Electrician?

  Well, I was going to go further into that story. Where are you going to stay? His English school?

• 7:54Speaker 03

  Home.

• 7:56Speaker 03

  They turned the upstairs into a, a little, I guess, like a staycation area. What are they called now? Bread and breakfast? Yeah.

• 8:03The Fat Electrician?

  The gang teaches English.

• 8:08Speaker 03

  We are learning a new words today.

• 8:16Speaker 03

  So it's a A is okay, but the R make it offensive. Yeah.

• 8:20The Fat Electrician?

  Correct.

• 8:23Speaker 03

  English so hard.

• 8:29Speaker 03

  I mean, they, uh, they hung out the next day. Connor did ask her out on the podcast because dude, her dad, even for the Adam video that went viral, her dad is talking to Adam and he's like, oh, are you single? He's like, yeah. He's like, my daughter, you should marry her. Whoa. Yeah. And you're very beautiful. You should marry her though. Then you can have a Japanese wife. I was like, oh man, his dad does not give a fuck.

• 9:00Speaker 03

  So, uh, Connor then asked her on a date and she's like, yes, but, uh, it was when we all went after shooting, we all like sat and ate and then they had to leave, uh, to Dallas. So that was their quote unquote date. It was fun, dude. Connor got shit wrecked that night. It was hilarious. Shout out to her boy.

• 9:17Donut Operator?

  He was, dude, he was starting to get there when he asked her on the date. Can I take your Delta on date?

• 9:22Speaker 03

  Yep. Dude, when we got to the bar.

• 9:25The Fat Electrician?

  King of the hills, like really popular in Japan, isn't it? And he's like literally the walking personification of Dale Gribble. Like I imagine, I imagine that's quite the catch over there.

• 9:36Speaker 03

  They don't understand each other.

• 9:40Speaker 03

  But yeah, man, that was a, it was a good ass time. I, I really enjoyed interviewing those people. Like, we were fucking laughing our asses off that entire time.

• 9:52Speaker 03

  Oh, sorry. Looked over there, I was like, what's behind me?

• 9:55The Fat Electrician?

  Nothing.

• 9:55Speaker 03

  Okay, now, now, Steve.

• 9:57The Fat Electrician?

  Yes. Hi.

• 10:00Speaker 03

  This is your friend?

• 10:01The Fat Electrician?

  This is Steve, my jujitsu coach.

• 10:03Speaker 03

  Yeah, do you live up there?

• 10:05Speaker 04

  No.

• 10:05Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 10:06The Fat Electrician?

  He lives in Austin.

• 10:07Speaker 04

  No, yeah. I actually live an hour and a half away from here.

• 10:10Speaker 03

  Oh, no shit?

• 10:11Speaker 04

  Yeah, I was like, I can just drive.

• 10:13Speaker 03

  Fuck yeah.

• 10:13Speaker 04

  So if you guys want to come there, hour and a half, train.

• 10:18The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah, the gang does jujitsu. I've been trying to make that happen for three years. See how it goes.

• 10:23Speaker 03

  I'll do it. We're gonna get everyone to, we've done boxing now like three times.

• 10:29Speaker 03

  Do some grappling. I haven't grappled in a long time.

• 10:32The Fat Electrician?

  What do you, six time world champ?

• 10:35Speaker 04

  Oh, not me, no, not me.

• 10:37Speaker 03

  Seven time world champion?

• 10:38The Fat Electrician?

  Two, sorry. Eight time world champion, Steve. Twelve time.

• 10:44Speaker 03

  He's like, don't do that. So you're a fifth degree Dan, black belt in Brazilian jujitsu?

• 10:50Speaker 04

  No, third.

• 10:51Speaker 03

  Fifth degree?

• 10:54Speaker 03

  Switch is changing.

• 10:57Speaker 04

  It's like bargaining in the other direction.

• 11:01Speaker 03

  We cut out all your answers.

• 11:02The Fat Electrician?

  You're a liar.

• 11:04Speaker 03

  Steve the liar is what you're gonna be known for.

• 11:07Speaker 04

  I mean, it wouldn't, lying is kind of runs in the industry, so it wouldn't be, wouldn't be shocking to anyone.

• 11:13Speaker 03

  How old are you right now?

• 11:15Speaker 04

  Forty-two.

• 11:15Speaker 03

  Okay, that, yeah, Asian. Look, yeah, I was like, I don't know.

• 11:18Speaker 04

  It could be, it could be thirty to sixty.

• 11:22The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 11:22Speaker 04

  Somewhere in the range, yeah.

• 11:24Speaker 03

  You have wise eyes.

• 11:25Speaker 04

  I get that.

• 11:26Speaker 03

  It's because they're.

• 11:28Speaker 04

  They're thoughtful. They're thinking.

• 11:30Speaker 03

  Thoughtful.

• 11:31Donut Operator?

  So you're not falling asleep, he's just, he's just saying anything.

• 11:35Speaker 03

  Damn, you've done, uh, what, jujitsu for how many years? Twenty?

• 11:39Speaker 04

  Yeah, almost twenty.

• 11:41Speaker 03

  That's dedication to the craft.

• 11:44The Fat Electrician?

  First time I met him, I rolled with him and he goes, your jujitsu is fucking gay.

• 11:51The Fat Electrician?

  I like this guy.

• 11:53Speaker 04

  Gotta be honest, you gotta be honest with people.

• 11:55Speaker 03

  When you're.

• 11:56Speaker 04

  It's the only way.

• 11:57Speaker 03

  And you're in guard.

• 12:02Speaker 03

  Your jujitsu's gay. You're the one on bottom.

• 12:08Speaker 04

  Ironically, that was actually true.

• 12:13Speaker 03

  So what you, what got you into it?

• 12:17Speaker 04

  Uh, actually, a friend, it was after I got out of the Marine Corps.

• 12:20Speaker 03

  Thank you for your service.

• 12:22Speaker 04

  Doesn't everyone here in the military?

• 12:25Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 12:28Speaker 03

  That's why we do it. Cause you tried to like pass it off immediately.

• 12:34The Fat Electrician?

  Now there's two people on the podcast that actually deployed.

• 12:37Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 12:40Speaker 03

  I love thanking people. That's a normal, that's like.

• 12:43Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's just like.

• 12:46Speaker 03

  Give it to one of them.

• 12:48The Fat Electrician?

  Double and give it to the next guy.

• 12:51Speaker 03

  Double and give it to the next one.

• 12:53Speaker 04

  I usually just say, it was my pleasure.

• 12:57Speaker 03

  But you work at Chick-fil-A now?

• 12:59Speaker 04

  It was my pleasure.

• 13:02Speaker 03

  Okay, so you got Marines. Dang, did you do combatants in the Marines? What's it called?

• 13:07Speaker 04

  Oh, McMap?

• 13:09Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 13:09Speaker 04

  Uh, yeah, but I don't know that that would qualify. Not really.

• 13:14Speaker 03

  Pissed off a lot of Marines, but they're on level one certified.

• 13:17Speaker 04

  Well, before we got out of the Marines, so I was in Twenty-Nine Palms, which is sort of like hell on earth.

• 13:27Speaker 03

  It's a butthole, it's the.

• 13:28Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's just like, but it's good. What's that?

• 13:31Speaker 03

  An instructor?

• 13:33Speaker 04

  Uh, Mojave Viper. They had like a urban, they set up like, so after we came back from the first tours in Iraq, they're like, we're not training correctly. So we need to change this. So I was part of that first group.

• 13:46The Fat Electrician?

  What were, when, uh, what years were your deployments?

• 13:49Speaker 04

  Two thousand and three, ten months, and then two thousand and four and five.

• 13:56Speaker 03

  That was Fallujah, I'm guessing you were pushing there?

• 13:59Speaker 04

  So we were on the Syrian border. So the invasion was first, and then we stayed. So Al-Nasrria and Najaf were like our big ones.

• 14:07Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 14:08Speaker 04

  And then it was on the Syrian border is, uh, Al-Anbar province, but it was still like,

• 14:16Speaker 04

  Huseba was kind of where everything was happening there. But then they were also flying us to like Haditha, the river cities, like we're in Babylon, based out of Babylon for a little bit.

• 14:27Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 14:28Speaker 04

  Like running out of there.

• 14:29Speaker 03

  Yeah, we were in the Diala River province is where I was out over there. So generally, you were in a different area.

• 14:35Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 14:36Speaker 03

  Beautiful area.

• 14:41Speaker 04

  Yeah. It was, uh, were you in the army?

• 14:44Speaker 03

  Yes, sir.

• 14:45Speaker 04

  Oh, okay. So when we went to Babylon, were you ever in Babylon?

• 14:52Speaker 04

  So it was an army base, but the Marines were running operations out of there. So when Mattis came up there, they flew us there to guard the base because we didn't trust the army to do that.

• 15:04Speaker 03

  Got to have a.

• 15:07Speaker 04

  So there's a palace on top of the hill, and that's where they put us. So every time that you want to go eat, you're like down and walking back up the hill.

• 15:16Speaker 03

  Oh, God, yeah, that would have been rough having to live in a castle.

• 15:19Speaker 04

  Yeah, on top of the hill. You have to walk up the hill. But anyways, we had, we put, we created like a slingshot between the pillars, and we're launching things at the army tents. Cause there's nothing to do all day. What can you do?

• 15:35The Fat Electrician?

  Did I tell you about when we, me and Ethan and Zach went out to Fort Campbell?

• 15:41The Fat Electrician?

  So this is a legend, it's not officially confirmed, but, and it reminds me of what you just said about not trusting the army. So Fort Campbell, obviously, Hundred and First Army Base, they used to store nukes there. And we went and we toured the, the nuke facilities and like the tunnels and stuff where they stored all the nukes. And that's an episode of Hidously Fat over on Pepperbox, but, uh, apparently back in the day, it's an army base, but the Marine Corps was in charge of guarding the nuke facility.

• 16:08Speaker 04

  Military history guy.

• 16:09The Fat Electrician?

  And over the nuke facility was a no-fly zone.

• 16:13Speaker 03

  We're gonna dress Connor for this skit.

• 16:15Donut Operator?

  I don't, I don't like this. I'm not gonna. If my attorney showed up looking like that, I'm going to jail, yeah.

• 16:21Speaker 03

  I hope the mic picked up, my knees popping. Just say it as a very comfortable. Oh, I'm, I'm fully combed up right now, dude. I'm fully combed. You can't get more comfortable than this right now. Whether it's workouts, golf, travel, being outside, or weekend plans with the friends, just being outside in general. You know how it is, summertime. I love being outside.

• 16:43Speaker 05

  And every year when summer hits, I realize I need clothes that can actually keep up with all of that.

• 16:48Speaker 03

  Funny you should say that, Brandon. But refreshing your wardrobe every summer sure can get expensive. Connor, where'd you get that sweet outfit, though?

• 16:57Speaker 03

  Stop laughing. I asked you a question.

• 17:00Speaker 05

  I got it at fabletics.com using code unsub.

• 17:03Donut Operator?

  It's not code unsub.

• 17:05Speaker 05

  Why are your fingers so salty? I went to fabletics.com slash unsub to get up to seventy to eighty percent off. When you signed up as a new VIP. When I signed up as a new VIP. What happened to the old VIP?

• 17:19Speaker 03

  Funny you should ask, Brandon. Dude, I took the quick style quiz. It was so quick. Did you select unsub when prompted? Of course I did. That's how you unlock the offer, right? That's exactly how you unlock the offer. That was a limited time offer. Yes, so don't wait. Again, that's fabletics.com slash unsub for seventy to eighty percent off when you sign up as a new VIP.

• 17:42The Fat Electrician?

  Nothing goes over this thing, period. There's fucking nukes there during the Cold War. Marines are on guard, live rounds.

• 17:51The Fat Electrician?

  Fort Campbell got a new officer in charge of the base, a new base commander. Take me up in a fucking Blackhawk or a Little Bird, I want to see my base. Okay, fly me over that part. We can't, that's a no-fly zone. I'm the fort commander, we do whatever the fuck I want. They flew over, the Marines started fucking shooting at them.

• 18:11The Fat Electrician?

  And it was just kind of like, that's what they were told to do.

• 18:15Speaker 04

  That's strange.

• 18:17The Fat Electrician?

  And the historian there is kind of like, there's no actual evidence that that happened. And I was like, yeah, I fucking bet because the base commander looks like an asshole.

• 18:26Speaker 03

  So fast.

• 18:27The Fat Electrician?

  That's embarrassing.

• 18:29Speaker 03

  Why did you do that? Why tell them in a quote, I can do whatever the fuck I want to do?

• 18:40The Fat Electrician?

  Well, we gave the Marines bullets and said, shoot at anything that flies over.

• 18:44Speaker 03

  Four stars. Three stars.

• 18:47The Fat Electrician?

  I don't know if you know this, the Marines can't see your four stars while you're in the helicopter above them.

• 18:52Speaker 03

  Dude, fucking military bases, I did not miss that shit at all. It is weird, like when we do, uh.

• 19:01Speaker 03

  Have you, uh, did you watch the Pentagon episode?

• 19:04Speaker 04

  No, but I heard about it. Saw the, saw the cred.

• 19:08Speaker 03

  Yeah. And you get it like, meeting that high rank of people, you have that same mindset where it's like, what the fuck? Cause you've probably never talked to a general in your life. Maybe one.

• 19:19Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 19:20Speaker 03

  It's a, and a lot of people just think you interact with generals or like higher ups all the time.

• 19:24Speaker 04

  No, especially all of us. We're, we're all E4. We're all E4 on the podcast.

• 19:29Speaker 03

  Grunts.

• 19:32Speaker 04

  Like I never, I don't think I ever met an admiral in the Navy.

• 19:35Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 19:36Speaker 04

  One time, yeah.

• 19:37Speaker 03

  Super rare. Like, and then you'll meet like maybe a one star, but now it's with.

• 19:43Speaker 04

  Yeah, but it's usually in like a specific setting. Like I remember General Mattis was running when we were coming off of like,

• 19:54Speaker 04

  off a mission or something. And he's just like, hey, talks to you for a second. Like, holy shit. Yeah.

• 20:01The Fat Electrician?

  Keep running.

• 20:03Speaker 03

  See, that's the mindset. It's like,

• 20:08Speaker 03

  they were running, like everyone's licking their, you're doing the side by side runs, like anything so they don't see you. Uh, and.

• 20:17Speaker 04

  So you're talking to these generals?

• 20:18Speaker 03

  Well, the.

• 20:19Speaker 04

  In your thing?

• 20:20Speaker 03

  Yeah. Well, now, cause they invited us to, we were at, um, uh, dang it.

• 20:27Speaker 04

  Two fifty?

• 20:28Speaker 03

  No, the, I mean, even at the two fifty, who, uh, retirement for.

• 20:33Speaker 04

  Randy.

• 20:33Speaker 03

  Yeah. Randy's retirement. It's like John, General George. So his retirement, hey, do you want, guys want to come out, hang out? And that's on base and it's this entire event, but then you're just hanging out with the general of the army, like, or the sergeant major of the army. And then they're just cool. Like we're just all bullshitting, having fun. And then other people are like, what the fuck? We've had people.

• 20:57Speaker 04

  They're like, I'm out. I'm actually out now. So.

• 20:59Speaker 03

  Yeah. That's what I said.

• 21:00Speaker 04

  It doesn't, doesn't matter.

• 21:02Speaker 03

  Fucking.

• 21:04The Fat Electrician?

  It's just funny. Cause like it's, it's this mix of like people that are there in a professional capacity and we, we just get invited because he likes us.

• 21:11Speaker 04

  Right, right, right.

• 21:11The Fat Electrician?

  So he's like having a very professional conversation with like people in uniforms and suits. And then he sees us, oh, what's up guys? And walks up and like high fives us and gives us a hug. And they're like, who the fuck are these degenerates? It's so cool.

• 21:24Speaker 04

  We're fucking pounding beers with them. And then it's like oh, four and oh fives are the bartenders serving. It's like his aides serving us. Hell yeah.

• 21:32Speaker 03

  Yeah, they had ma- like majors and, uh, lieutenant colonels is serving for the event. Like, man, what the fuck?

• 21:42Speaker 04

  Two scoops.

• 21:44The Fat Electrician?

  We, we like, we're getting stopped at the gate and we're like, yeah, we're here for, you know, the General George's party looking like this. And they're like.

• 21:51Speaker 04

  That's the best.

• 21:52The Fat Electrician?

  No, you're not. And we're like, yeah, we are. They wouldn't let us in the first time. They wouldn't let us in and we had to make a call and then a full bird colonel comes rolling up in a GSA. And it's like, let them in now.

• 22:06Speaker 03

  Instant lakes.

• 22:07Speaker 04

  I mean, that is a good point though. They shouldn't let you in.

• 22:09The Fat Electrician?

  Oh, for sure. They should be stopping.

• 22:11Speaker 04

  They should, yeah, they should be not letting you in.

• 22:13Speaker 03

  Well, that's what was weird. The last one, it was, we go up and like, hey, what's up? And we're trying to get to the event and it's just me by myself. And naturally the Uber can't drive through the gate. So I hop out and I start to walk towards the gate. I was like, uh, fuck, I need to find my paper. Like Eli. I'm like, yeah. Oh, I, you're good. Go on through.

• 22:34Speaker 03

  Fuck yeah. Hell yeah.

• 22:39Speaker 03

  It's just a weird experience now coming from like enlisted side at a lower level. And then you're seeing all that shit.

• 22:45Speaker 04

  Revenge of the grunts.

• 22:46Speaker 03

  Yeah. Yes, exactly.

• 22:47The Fat Electrician?

  And then like the house.

• 22:48Speaker 04

  We run, we run the shit now.

• 22:50The Fat Electrician?

  The house they have the party in is General Pershing's house up on the hill that every joint chief has lived in since Pershing. So like they walk in the room and they're like, yeah, so, uh, this is the elevator that, uh, General MacArthur had illegally installed against orders. So his mom could live here with him. Um, here's the phone that Eisenhower used to answer in the middle of the night to see how World War II was going.

• 23:15Speaker 03

  Bob Hope tore this wall down.

• 23:17The Fat Electrician?

  They're like, yeah, this is, we, we call this the Bob Hope room because, uh, this window's not original. He, uh, Bob Hope said he just wanted a window there. So they grabbed a sawzall and cut one. Like, and there's just like this window that's like forty years newer than the rest of the house. It's like, like this is awesome.

  Oh man, good old time. So you were in for us. When did you get out?

• 24:31Speaker 04

  Two thousand and six.

• 24:33Speaker 03

  Okay. So you did it for?

• 24:34Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 24:35Speaker 03

  Okay. Smart.

• 24:36Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 24:37Speaker 03

  You're like, oh, was it nine 11 that kicked it off for you? You're like, oh, I want to join.

• 24:40Speaker 04

  Yeah. I was, I think I joined in November of two thousand and one. It's like, yeah, we're probably going to go to war.

• 24:47Speaker 03

  And you were during that first.

• 24:49Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 24:49Speaker 03

  Push with no one knowing what the fuck's going on, which would have been like mop gear sometimes or.

• 24:54Speaker 04

  Yeah. It's funny because I listened to, no, it was mop gear for I think 27 days.

• 25:00Speaker 03

  Gross.

• 25:01Speaker 04

  Which, yeah.

• 25:03Speaker 03

  Dude, the fuck, dude, the sweat, like the sweat.

• 25:06Speaker 04

  But we were, what was interesting was we're sweating through them. So you have your mop suit and then you have your flak jacket on. And then you take it off at the end of the day and it's wet. Like, ew, this is supposed to protect me from.

• 25:23Speaker 04

  The water's going through it.

• 25:25Speaker 03

  Just sticky. So then you did the like ten.

• 25:28Speaker 04

  Well, it was, so I went to bootcamp in June, June of two thousand and two.

• 25:37Speaker 03

  Gotcha.

• 25:38Speaker 04

  So our bootcamp's thirteen. Yeah. So ours is, so I graduated high school and then left like two weeks later. So our bootcamp's thirteen weeks. And then you go home for whatever. And then we go to school of infantry. And then we got done with school of infantry, I think December. And then we went to the fleet. And then we deployed like two weeks later.

• 26:05Speaker 03

  Gotcha.

• 26:06Speaker 04

  So it was basically like, get your shit and go sit in Kuwait.

• 26:11Speaker 03

  Damn, that's a quick turnaround. We're like, what the, okay, we're over there. Then Kuwait and then God, you're running the M16 A4s.

• 26:19Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 26:20Speaker 03

  Yep. Those big old.

• 26:21Speaker 04

  Yep. Yeah.

• 26:21Speaker 03

  Chonguses.

• 26:24Speaker 04

  And then, uh, and then they're like, here you guys get ACOGS. And everything that we'd shot previous was iron sights.

• 26:33Speaker 03

  Dude, when we got, when we got over there and walking into like one of the chow halls and seeing Marines, I'm like, why are they, what are they, we still make those? Like M16, but still like.

• 26:44Speaker 04

  Like figure it out.

• 26:44Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 26:45Speaker 04

  The Marine Corps, they're like, here's the shittiest stuff. Figure it out.

• 26:48The Fat Electrician?

  Go clear out a city with a musket. Foot long.

• 26:53Speaker 03

  The ACOG.

• 26:56Speaker 03

  Okay, there it's broke.

• 26:58The Fat Electrician?

  Hey, you laugh. The Marines got investigated after Fallujah for those ACOGS, alright? Have you, have you ever heard that?

• 27:05Speaker 04

  No.

• 27:05The Fat Electrician?

  There was a, there was like a legitimate, uh, inquiry into the Marines executing people during Fallujah. Because there was so many fucking headshots. And then the investigation was basically like, no, they keep poking out of windows and the Marines got ACOGS now. They're just fucking doming people as they're driving by.

• 27:27Speaker 03

  This is so gangster.

• 27:32Speaker 03

  So he did, after, uh, three tours, you said?

• 27:38Speaker 04

  Two.

• 27:38Speaker 03

  Two. Okay.

• 27:39Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 27:39Speaker 03

  And these are nine to 10 month tours?

• 27:41Speaker 04

  So it was only 10 months, the first time, because they didn't have a rhythm yet. So, you know, we pushed all the way to Baghdad. Then, all right, you're done. You're going to go home. Right? So the Marine Corps is an invasion force, not a occupying force. And then they just kept pushing us back longer and longer and longer. Which was a problem because that's not the group of people that you want to be. Occupying any city, anywhere in the world.

• 28:12Speaker 03

  That's true. Look no further than right outside the base.

• 28:16The Fat Electrician?

  Dead, broken or pregnant and all the bad guys are dead. There's only two things left to do.

• 28:23The Fat Electrician?

  I'm about to get B A H.

• 28:30Speaker 03

  Yeah, I don't uh, so what was your short, how long was the second one then? So I don't know.

• 28:36Speaker 04

  Then it was seven months.

• 28:37Speaker 03

  Damn.

• 28:37Speaker 04

  So you know, Bush is like, the war's over and everyone's like, yeah, we're going back.

• 28:42Speaker 03

  I did one tour sixteen months.

• 28:45Speaker 04

  Where?

• 28:46Speaker 03

  Iraq.

• 28:47Speaker 04

  Oh shit.

• 28:52Speaker 03

  That's why.

• 28:53Speaker 04

  Where were you?

• 28:54Speaker 03

  Uh, so we were in Baghdad or East Rashid was our A O.

• 28:59Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 28:59Speaker 03

  We lived out in a cob.

• 29:00Speaker 04

  It's, it's not the same.

• 29:02Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 29:02Speaker 04

  Cause you're on like a nice base with like a chow hall.

• 29:06The Fat Electrician?

  You're using a lot of words.

• 29:08Speaker 04

  You're drinking.

• 29:09Speaker 03

  So.

• 29:10Speaker 04

  You get to drink like, yes.

• 29:12Speaker 03

  I again, uh, I was in a cob. We lived out in sector. I gotta rotate every twenty-two days for showers.

• 29:20Speaker 04

  Oh, okay. So you actually did real stuff.

• 29:22Speaker 03

  Yeah, unfortunately.

• 29:23Speaker 04

  Okay, you camped. Well, there's a lot of people that were there for a long time.

• 29:27Speaker 03

  I know.

• 29:28Speaker 04

  That were on like a nice base. Like our guys would get wounded and go back and be like, dude, this is incredible.

• 29:32The Fat Electrician?

  You guys got a Domino's?

• 29:35Speaker 03

  I got, when I got shot, I was on a mission next day because I went to the wrong aid station.

• 29:42Speaker 04

  Is that your fault or is that the?

• 29:44Speaker 03

  No, I listened to that. It was, it was a fucked up day. It was mission two. We lost two of our own, two died. Six got sent home from a mortar just, or uh, one mortar just landed right on base, shrapnel dome. And again, this is mission two. And then they were like, go to this aid station. I go there and then they're like, what the fuck? No, go to this aid station. I'm like.

• 30:04Speaker 04

  Yeah, that sounds about right.

• 30:06Speaker 03

  I go, they do everything. I'm like, okay, well.

• 30:10Speaker 04

  I think you're good.

• 30:11Speaker 03

  I don't have a pack. I was a, all right. Next day, just right back at it.

• 30:16The Fat Electrician?

  Quavis, weren't you shot yesterday?

• 30:18Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 30:24Speaker 04

  How long had you been in?

• 30:26Speaker 03

  Uh, you're uh, two years leading up to that deployment because we stood up the unit. So it was two CR.

• 30:33Speaker 04

  Okay, you had a fool.

• 30:35Speaker 03

  The whole turnaround, when we first got to the unit, we had uh, E fours as like first arms. Just because it was a brand new unit. We were just like getting in people. And like, hey, we gotta build up the striker unit, then send it over. But uh, when we deployed, it was always uh, it was the, the tip of the spear. So it's East Rashid and we lived out in sector in each time. So we never got a go to.

• 30:58Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 30:59Speaker 03

  We got internet once every twenty.

• 31:01Speaker 04

  Why was it so, uh, I mean, that's the way to do it though, to be honest.

• 31:07Speaker 03

  It has its perks. It went really quick.

• 31:10Speaker 04

  Yeah. I mean, the, the distraction thing is not good.

• 31:13Speaker 03

  No.

• 31:14Speaker 04

  It's not good. Um,

• 31:17Speaker 04

  so why were you there for so long? Was that just how you guys did your rotations? What year was it?

• 31:21Speaker 03

  Two thousand, this is the surge. So two thousand six to two thousand nine is the army.

• 31:26Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 31:27Speaker 03

  That surge. So you would, they could only put twelve months as how long you could deploy and every army deployment was twelve months. And then the second you land, then they extend you for three months. So you have fifteen months, but then I was Advon, which fucking sucked. That means I was out in country first.

• 31:44Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yes.

• 31:47Speaker 03

  So I was like, uh, so.

• 31:50Speaker 04

  That's the worst too. It's like your second time out and you're just like, this is gonna be a long.

• 31:54Speaker 03

  But you get a ten day break in between. Dude, I, I still felt bad for the guys that you're a month into a fifteen month deployment. And that's when your mid tour leave is. So like, okay, go home now. So you barely like acclimate to anything. And then you're back home for ten days and then you're going.

• 32:11Speaker 04

  Where they send you home, home?

• 32:13Speaker 03

  Yeah. Oh yeah. So Advon for mid to relieve is you get to go anywhere in the uh, world that you want to.

• 32:20Speaker 04

  And then.

• 32:21Speaker 03

  From Iraq? Yeah.

• 32:22Speaker 04

  Oh shit. Okay.

• 32:23Speaker 03

  So then they fly you, do your thing and then you come back after your break.

• 32:27The Fat Electrician?

  Hmm. That's ten days.

• 32:29Speaker 03

  Yep. A lot of people went to Amsterdam.

• 32:33Speaker 03

  A lot of soldiers like, what?

• 32:39Speaker 04

  Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. So it's a completely different like rotation.

• 32:43Speaker 03

  Yeah. That's why I was like, oh, interesting seeing uh, how long you would have to go for. Cause.

• 32:48Speaker 04

  So then it turned into seven months. So the first one was just long because of that.

• 32:53Speaker 03

  They, uh, twelve months, it stayed twelve months until I think.

• 32:56Speaker 04

  No, for us it was seven months.

• 32:57Speaker 03

  God.

• 32:58Speaker 04

  Like that was the, that was the rotation for us.

• 33:00Speaker 03

  Which is smart. Like that is a, I think that's the six months, seven months. And then you're back and you get it like decompressed compared to fifteen, sixteen months.

• 33:08Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 33:09Speaker 03

  Brutal on people.

• 33:10Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 33:11Speaker 03

  Especially families, dude.

• 33:12The Fat Electrician?

  Compare that to like World War Two. It's just like, oh, well, we're going until we fucking win.

• 33:16Speaker 04

  We gotta win.

• 33:19Speaker 03

  I was thinking about that.

• 33:20Speaker 04

  No idea. I mean, what, you're the history buff.

• 33:24The Fat Electrician?

  What?

• 33:24Speaker 04

  What, what was it like back then?

• 33:26The Fat Electrician?

  Well, it's like, uh, so I mean, I just, I just.

• 33:28Speaker 04

  You have no clue when you're coming back?

• 33:29The Fat Electrician?

  I just did a video on it. The, the part that blows me away about like World War Two is at that point in time, you have to realize like, everybody thinks of like the nineteen forties of like, because you only see videos of like people in cities. Like you've got a good idea what like New York City looked like in the forties, right? That's not most of the United States.

• 33:50Speaker 04

  Right.

• 33:50The Fat Electrician?

  Most of the country at this point, especially the further west you go, is still fifty fucking years in the past compared to that.

• 33:58Speaker 05

  I love those. I love those so much. It actually, it tastes very good.

• 34:01Speaker 03

  Uh, it looks like I'm drinking like a chunk of pollen that has oil mixed with it. This is all you do once a day. That's it. I'm, I'm skeptical, but I'll give it a shot. That's really good.

• 34:13Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 34:14Speaker 03

  It tastes like, it tastes like very good orange juice. So what's in it actually? Turmeric, organic milk thistle, organic dandelion root extract, organic ginger root powder. And sodium and potassium. That's it. Oh, orange juice concentrate. I knew it. Oh, and monk fruit.

• 34:30Donut Operator?

  No, well, I'm just looking at the other ingredients list, like all the other shit that's in it. And there's not a lot. It's basically just the fucking supplement facts. Let's be honest, modern life is rough on our bodies and there's certain choices we can make that makes it rougher. And if you've been feeling sluggish or just off, your liver might be trying to tell you something.

• 34:48Speaker 05

  Stop drinking. I've been trying to get off.

• 34:51Speaker 03

  Dose for your liver is a clinically backed liver health supplement. This isn't just another capsule or powder. Dose is a liquid supplement. That's a supplement that takes the shape of its container. It's taken in a daily two ounce supplement and it tastes just like fresh squeezed orange juice. Zero sugar, zero junk, zero calories. When you're ready to give your liver the support it deserves.

  Head to dosedaily.co/unsub. Or enter unsub to get thirty-five percent off your order, your first subscription. Your body does so much for you. How about you do something for it? That's D O S E D A I L Y dot co slash unsub. So you have all these dudes joining the military that

• 35:35The Fat Electrician?

  I've seen a car once. There's one rich guy in town that's got a Model T. I'm still riding a fucking horse to school. Like, I grow up, I grew up in a log cabin with no power and no plumbing. And then you ship this guy off and six months later, he's a fucking airborne soldier jumping out of the most technologically advanced plane on the fucking planet. And I think that's a big part of why like that generation just, he never really talked about his service. Cause imagine leaving that from your parents, farmers that don't even have electricity in their house. And you come back home like, what was the war like? And it's like, how do you explain to somebody like that without a TV? There's these giant fucking planes and there's fucking guns.

• 36:15Speaker 04

  Flies through the air and tube.

• 36:16The Fat Electrician?

  Like, how do you even begin to explain? It's sci-fi to them. So like, that's the interesting part to me. But uh, like the dude I just did a video on, he uh, he, he's in Bible college, trying to be a preacher. He gets drafted his junior year. And he like shows up and they're like, all right, um, if you want to be artillery, go over here, medics, engineers, infantry. He doesn't even know what the words mean.

• 36:40Speaker 04

  Yeah, exactly.

• 36:41The Fat Electrician?

  He doesn't, because like, there's no TV, nobody, nobody's seen, you know, Saving Private Ryan. He has no fucking clue. So he's like infantry, infant, that sounds, babies must be able to do it. That sounds easy. So he goes to the infantry part. And the.

• 36:56Speaker 03

  Give me a baby. Just break it or take care of it.

• 37:01The Fat Electrician?

  Next thing he knows, he's at fucking leading a platoon and they're like, yeah, we're sending you to the, to the Pacific. He's for the army. And they tell him, they're like, all right, you're spearheading this amphibious landing onto this island. You're gonna be the first one fucking there. So be ready. And he fucking Higgins board, the fucking door drops on the Higgins boat and he goes running out, fucking guns blazing, but like, nobody's shooting at him. He's like, what the fuck? And they, they get on the beach and there's just fucking dead Japanese dudes everywhere. And they like, start getting a little bit of, they get in like a little skirmish or whatever. And then like, they find out, oh, the Marine Corps got here seven months ago. It was fucking Guadalcanal. And the Marine Corps had already been there for like seven months. And, but he thought it was like the moment.

• 37:47The Fat Electrician?

  So he's like, okay, change of plans. We're shipping you to a different island. They ship him to New Georgia, which was basically Guadalcanal two point O. And uh, he fights all through the New Georgia campaign, which was fucking brutal. His platoon gets fucking cut, his battalion gets cut off and surrounded for thirty days straight. No food, no water. He loses like sixty fucking pounds. Comes back, gains weight in the hospital for like two months. They send him back out, gets surrounded again on the fucking island.

• 38:14Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 38:15The Fat Electrician?

  And comes back, gets fixed up. And then while he's um, back at Guadalcanal, which is an airfield at this point, because the US controls it and it's like a major hub. They're like, we need people with extensive jungle combat for a top secret mission. And he had like just gotten a letter from back. He got two pieces of letter backdated fourteen months. One was from his parents saying they were getting a divorce and the other one was from his fiance saying she was leaving him. He's like, fucking, I guess I'll go.

• 38:46Speaker 03

  Man, imagine I was like, at least I got mail today.

• 38:52Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 38:55The Fat Electrician?

  So like his life.

• 38:57Speaker 04

  Go out, go out there and kill some people.

• 38:59The Fat Electrician?

  So he volunteers for it. They don't even tell him what he's doing. There's like, get on the fucking boat. They stick his ass on a boat. He like goes to a Pacific island, then a Pacific island, then he's in Fuji, then he's in Australia. He's like, where the fuck are you guys taking me? Then he winds up in India. Again, imagine somebody from the nineteen, this dude grew up.

• 39:17Speaker 04

  Do they have units or the whole units going or he's just?

• 39:19The Fat Electrician?

  No, they took volunteer only. So he just volunteered with whoever the fuck else and they were making a new unit. And next thing he knows, he's in India. Again, dude from the nineteen forties that grew up in a log cabin in Michigan and you show up in India. He's like, he, in his memoirs, he talks about like the street vendors and like everybody's poor and begging for money. He's just like, what the fuck is going on? He's like, they kept putting us on these old ass trains the British built a hundred years ago. So I don't know what the fuck is going on. Then they wind up at the Taj Mahal. Again, dude that grew up in a log cabin in Michigan. What the fuck?

• 39:54Speaker 03

  Dude, that'd be wild.

• 39:55The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 39:56Speaker 03

  You don't even know.

• 39:57The Fat Electrician?

  Seen a picture of it. The first time you see the Taj Mahal's in person like, oh.

• 40:01Speaker 03

  Wow, that's cool.

• 40:04The Fat Electrician?

  All these poor people built that big titty building. This is impressive. Like, wow. So then they end up like training more in jungle warfare and.

• 40:13Speaker 04

  Yeah. I was like, what, what exactly was the mission?

• 40:16The Fat Electrician?

  He's, he was one of the first guys to be a Merrill's marauder. Have you ever heard of that?

• 40:22Speaker 04

  No.

• 40:22The Fat Electrician?

  Merrill's marauders would go on to become the seventy fifth Ranger Regiment.

• 40:26Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 40:27The Fat Electrician?

  Their first mission was three thousand guys that had exclusively volunteered. We're gonna walk from India into Burma, like five hundred fucking miles through the jungle. And then just conduct guerrilla warfare against the Japanese and help out China. For, I believe they were in combat for seven months straight and their only asset was just go in the jungle, fuck with the Japanese. Whenever you run out of food, water and ammo, call us, we'll airdrop shit to you. And he lived in the fucking jungle for seven months. Yeah. So did that. And then like the war finally ends and he goes back home and gets to finish college, but it was like.

• 41:09Speaker 04

  Goes back to college.

• 41:11Speaker 03

  Dude, that walk again, you're walking. Didn't we?

• 41:15The Fat Electrician?

  They covered.

• 41:16Speaker 03

  Thirty, it was like a thirty day, just if you were nonstop, it takes like thirty days to walk that. Now, Kuwait, I'm not this, I fucking map with a little azimuth and you're like.

• 41:30Speaker 03

  I think that way. And the maps back then, they're probably not that fucking detailed either, which is wild.

• 41:42Speaker 03

  You're, dude, that shit blows my mind.

• 41:46The Fat Electrician?

  Shit the marauders got into. It was so fucking funny though. Like they brought some, they brought, I think, I think nine or twelve Nisei with them, which were the American Japanese guys that had volunteered in the American forces. So they brought them to translate and they're like, their first big mission, they went out and basically the Chinese army was attacking the Japanese and pushing them back at this village. So they came around the backside at high ground.

• 42:13Speaker 04

  So we're helping the Chinese at this point.

• 42:14The Fat Electrician?

  Correct. Yeah. So we're helping the Chinese.

• 42:16Speaker 04

  Important.

• 42:17The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah. And we come around the backside and fucking sandwich them and we're waiting for the Chinese to basically push the Japanese out of this village and then they're gonna fucking mow them down on the way out. Chinese weren't fucking getting it done. And they're like, fuck, if the Chinese can't push them back, like we're just.

• 42:34Speaker 04

  You gotta draw a picture of that battle. So it's like, these guys are shooting this way, pushing these guys into these guys who are gonna start shooting.

• 42:42The Fat Electrician?

  Correct. Yeah.

• 42:43Speaker 03

  Ambush.

• 42:46Speaker 03

  This man's infantry.

• 42:48The Fat Electrician?

  The Chinese weren't getting it done.

• 42:49Speaker 04

  Geometry of fire.

• 42:52The Fat Electrician?

  So the, the Nisei go out and they like tap the enemy phone lines and find out there's a big ammo dump in this village. So then they called in a fucking airstrike and blew the whole fucking thing up and basically just scrambled everybody and mowed down absolutely everybody. It's. It was bad. So then after World War Two, he finishes, becomes a preacher for two years. And then.

• 43:15Speaker 04

  Goes back to college.

• 43:17The Fat Electrician?

  Get, goes back to college, becomes a preacher for two years.

• 43:19Speaker 04

  Always.

• 43:20The Fat Electrician?

  Then he gets reactivated to go to occupation duty in Japan. And he's like, can I be a chaplain now that I officially have my degree? And they're like, no.

• 43:31The Fat Electrician?

  And he's like, fuck. So he goes back in his infantry.

• 43:34Speaker 04

  How, how much time has transpired from?

• 43:37The Fat Electrician?

  Like five years.

• 43:37Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 43:38The Fat Electrician?

  So like five years later, he.

• 43:40Speaker 04

  Trying to become a priest to killing all these people, going back to become a priest and then.

• 43:46The Fat Electrician?

  Well, he, he talks about having to go back to Bible school his junior year and he's like, yeah, I didn't fit in anymore. I go, yeah, I bet. It's a bunch of fucking homeschool kids and you've been running around in the fucking jungle for three years, Merkin dudes. What's up fuckheads? Yeah. Yeah.

• 44:03Speaker 04

  A little different. Yeah. Different perspective on life. Yeah.

• 44:07The Fat Electrician?

  And so then he fucking goes, he's on occupation duty in Japan and they get ahold of him. They're like, fucking North Koreans attacked the South Koreans. Grab your shit. We gotta go up there and handle it. Don't bother packing your personal stuff. It'll be like a week. It was not.

• 44:22Speaker 04

  Korean War.

• 44:23The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah. So he, he should, he shows up, he's one of the first dudes. He shows that he's one of the first dudes at the Pusan perimeter, which is like when the North Koreans had pushed them all the way down to that little tiny chunk at the bottom. He's there and he gets sent out on guard duty and they're like, just defend this perimeter. It's a safe area. Nobody's coming. He gets all his guys. So he's got one platoon. He gets all his guys set up in like fortified fighting positions and they're just fucking chilling, hanging out with the boys.

• 44:50Speaker 04

  What rank is he now?

• 44:51The Fat Electrician?

  He is a captain at this point.

• 44:54Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 44:54The Fat Electrician?

  So he's a captain. He's in charge of this platoon. And he's like, through the field, God, it's fucking Korea. You can see twenty miles away. He's on binos and he's like, there's a whole fucking formation, like a hundred dudes coming towards me. And he's like, he gets on the radio. He's like, I got a hundred dudes coming towards me. Uh, they must be South Koreans. This is a safe area.

• 45:15Speaker 04

  They look the same.

• 45:16The Fat Electrician?

  They get closer. He's like, hey, they're carrying Japanese rifles, which is what the North Koreans are carrying at this point in the war. I know what they look like because I fucking spent five years fighting them. It's a safe, it's a safe area. It's not them. And he goes back and forth with the fucking HQ like five fucking times until they're literally shooting at him. So they start returning fire. He winds up getting shot, runs back to the aid station, gets a fucking tourniquet put on so he doesn't bleed to death, goes back out. And his, his platoon ends up killing, I think, four hundred guys and repelling an attack of seven hundred dudes. And he gets shot like multiple times, ends up in the hospital.

• 45:56The Fat Electrician?

  And while he's in the hospital, the standard operating procedure is if you're in the hospital for sixty days, they send your ass back home to America. Day fifty nine, he gets orders to go back out.

• 46:05Speaker 04

  You're good. Goes back out. Extreme version of your story.

• 46:10The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 46:12The Fat Electrician?

  Goes back out, fights through the rest of the fucking Korean War. And then I'm not, it's an hour and twenty minute long video. So I'm literally hitting.

• 46:20Speaker 04

  You gotta go watch it.

• 46:21The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah, it's not even out yet, but it will be by the time this podcast comes out.

• 46:26The Fat Electrician?

  He fights through the rest of the Korean War, goes back, writes the fucking handbook on guerrilla warfare tactics and like a bunch of infantry shit at the Pentagon. And then he's like, I want something different. I want to do cool shit. He's like, I'm sick of walking. I want to be airborne. He's like forty two. When he gets airborne certified. And then they're like, well, you're airborne now. You want to be a Green Beret? Fuck it. Why not?

• 46:48Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 46:48The Fat Electrician?

  Becomes a Green Beret at like forty five and then he finishes out his career by going to Vietnam where he advised Laotians on how to combat communism for thirty six months.

• 47:00Speaker 04

  Yeah. So you're CIA.

• 47:02The Fat Electrician?

  He is a Green Beret operating. He's basically McVey Sog, I'm assuming.

• 47:07Speaker 03

  Live out with the people.

• 47:09Speaker 04

  Showing them how to. They got the chaplain thing out of his system.

• 47:13Speaker 03

  This is called.

• 47:14The Fat Electrician?

  No, then he went on to be the, um, the YMCA, uh, religious life on campus head for Texas A and M for thirteen years, went back to being a preacher.

• 47:26Speaker 03

  God, that's full circle.

• 47:28The Fat Electrician?

  His nickname is the Fighting Preacher. Is what they called him. Dude, he's got a funny, when he was a, when he was at New Georgia that first time. So they get surrounded that first time for like thirty days. He recovers, they go back out again, they get surrounded again, but this time his unit has a couple of like native guides with him. And the unit, it was all guys that were already previously surrounded. So they like knew the game from the get. So like, they were literally out there just stealing all the rice that the Japanese soldiers had on them after they killed them. And then the natives were being like, oh, if, if we use a bark from this tree, it tastes like chicken. Like they were having like fucking Master Chef competitions. So you can make the best fried rice.

• 48:09The Fat Electrician?

  Eventually they started to run low on ammo, so they sent him and one of the guides out by themselves to like probe the enemy line and find a spot they could break out. And him and this guide, Beatty is his name. They go out and they walk right into a fucking ambush, get lit up by machine gun fire. And they like fucking high tail it out. They dive into the swamp. They hide in the swamp for a while till they think they lost them. They get out all covered in mud. Adrenaline is so high. He's like, we need to see if we got shot. He checks Beatty, get all the mud off him. Okay. He wasn't shot. He checks himself. He's got a fucking bullet hole in his helmet. Didn't hit his head. Fucking went around, went around the world. Didn't hit him. He's got another bullet lodged in the heel of his boot. His wristwatch got shot off.

• 48:54The Fat Electrician?

  And he has like two more bullet holes in his clothes. Everything fucking missed him. His native guide, indigenous guy. Then asked him, cause he's like functioning as a chaplain to these guys also at the whole time. So like, everybody knows he's very religious. Beatty, the native guy is like,

• 49:12The Fat Electrician?

  your God must be really powerful. And he's like, how, can I like worship this God? And he's like, yeah, man, this is like, except Jesus is your Lord and Savior and blah, blah, blah. Like you could be a Christian. Yeah, no problem. And he's like, okay. And then they like say a prayer together while they're still behind enemy lines, like on the side of the swamp. And as far as this indigenous guy is concerned, he's now a Christian.

• 49:33Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 49:34The Fat Electrician?

  Which, from his perspective, he now thinks that he's fucking immune to bullets.

• 49:40The Fat Electrician?

  And he starts fucking singing and dancing loud as fuck behind enemy lines. And Logan is like, bro, shut the fuck up. It doesn't work that way. So he's like, created a situation for him.

• 49:52Speaker 03

  If you think about it, fucking dude, of course, he was like, you're just indigenous. So he's a little Chi- Chinese or whatever, at that time.

• 50:03The Fat Electrician?

  Whatever that Pacific island was. Yeah. Just you're covered in mud. You're looking at this white dude that just everything misses.

• 50:10Speaker 04

  You're invincible.

• 50:10The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 50:11Speaker 03

  Oh my God, he has a fairy. Good God, look at him. Can I also be Christian? Yeah. They baptize in the swamp water. Holy shit. I feel so good now.

• 50:23Speaker 04

  Superman.

• 50:24Speaker 03

  And then he's like running, shooting, comes back. He's like, oh, Christian got so good. It's like, yeah, you're not invincible, homie. What do you mean?

  That'd be the hardest thing to explain because you would just think it's magic.

• 52:22Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 52:25Speaker 04

  That's hilarious. You would have never thought of that. You can't, you can't make that up.

• 52:30The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 52:31Speaker 04

  You can't make that up.

• 52:31Speaker 03

  Well, those, I love those stories. And I, again, though, the mindset of that, where you don't, you have a mission. Yeah. But it's a very broad mission. You have to get here.

• 52:43Speaker 04

  Yeah. And then what?

• 52:47Speaker 03

  People are going to try to kill you along the way. And you might find random shit or link up with other things. And you're just like, I guess. And this is all like 20 year olds.

• 52:57Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 52:58Speaker 03

  That's what's crazy to me. And then it's a 30 day, 60 day, like, how long were they at, like the Battle of the Bulge?

• 53:05Speaker 04

  No, I don't know off the top of my head.

• 53:07Speaker 03

  You're just freezing.

• 53:08The Fat Electrician?

  Battle of the Bulge was huge, though.

• 53:09Speaker 03

  Yeah. They're massive.

• 53:11The Fat Electrician?

  Are you talking about the 101st getting surrounded?

• 53:13Speaker 03

  Yeah. Like when you're cut off and then they're cut off for God, like, I mean, months at a time sometimes. Fuck that. Then you have stories like that where it's absolutely crazy.

• 53:25Speaker 04

  Hey, so you should look into, uh, you were talking about Guadalcanal.

• 53:29The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 53:29Speaker 04

  So our company was Charlie.

• 53:33The Fat Electrician?

  Oh, really?

• 53:34Speaker 04

  Which is the company that fought off all the Japanese.

• 53:37The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah, Henderson.

• 53:37Speaker 04

  Yeah. So it's like the only company in the Marine Corps that has two guidons.

• 53:41Speaker 03

  How does half of that make you feel?

• 53:43Speaker 04

  Cause they, well, you don't, you just by luck end up there.

• 53:48Speaker 03

  No, I was saying Japanese and Marines.

• 53:51Speaker 03

  The fuck are you?

• 53:54The Fat Electrician?

  Inside of Steve, there are two wolves. One of them thinks it's kind of fucking based.

• 54:03Speaker 04

  That just went right, right over my head.

• 54:09Speaker 04

  But that's a, but look, you should look into that because that's actually interesting. That's an interesting story.

• 54:16The Fat Electrician?

  So is that, like with Barcelona or with Edson's Raiders?

• 54:20Speaker 04

  No. So the, so Charlie Company gets left alone here. And so this is where the Charlie comes in.

• 54:29Speaker 03

  Ah, interesting.

• 54:30Speaker 04

  They get surrounded by however, I'm not a history buff, but you can figure it out. A lot of people.

• 54:36The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 54:36Speaker 04

  They kill them all. They repel the attack. And then the next day, so Charlie is spelt with a, instead of I E, it's like E Y. So it's a, like a white flag that has a skull and crossbones. And then it says Charlie. So then they fly this flag and they repelled the attack and they like kept Guadalcanal.

• 54:56Speaker 03

  Fucking crazy, dude. That's all those stories. I'm just like, what the fuck? What the fuck? So you got back, you did your thing, and then you're like, well, I'm going to get into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

• 55:08Speaker 04

  No. So I got back, got out in 2006, and then I went overseas and worked in Southeast Asia.

• 55:19Speaker 04

  That's a long story, but my dad was pretty connected in the military and government out there.

• 55:25Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 55:25Speaker 04

  And when I got, so I was raised over there and I was raised in Thailand. And my dad worked with the military. It's consultant in that area. So when I got out of the military, there were a lot of opportunities because there's a lot of conflicts in the south of Thailand, Philippines, obviously. It's a lot of, a lot of shit going on all over the world. So, uh, the people that he kind of came up with were now running the country.

• 55:55Speaker 03

  Oh, shit. Okay.

• 55:56Speaker 04

  So I had an opportunity to go over there and then I worked in that region for almost six years.

• 56:03Speaker 03

  Nepotism.

• 56:08Speaker 04

  Um, and then, you know, I'd be there probably 10 months out of the year, back here a couple of months. And one of my friends was like, hey, you should go try this class. Walked in and.

• 56:20Speaker 03

  Did you do any, uh, like Thai kickboxing or?

• 56:23Speaker 04

  Yeah, I actually started that when I was a kid.

• 56:26Speaker 03

  That's, oh, okay. Fuck. Yeah. That's gangster. Dude, those, those kids are monsters.

• 56:31Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's, but when, so when we were in, this is Marine Corps for you. They would have like, it's called Pancreation, but it's basically MMA fights where you don't punch in the head.

• 56:44Speaker 03

  Oh yeah. It's like the old Silva Vanderlei, like.

• 56:47Speaker 04

  But you, but there's no like head punching. So like Camp Pendleton will just have like, all right, you want, you want to fight? So let's make brackets and everyone could just go fight each other.

• 56:58Speaker 03

  This is how like Bass rooted why he did palms and would really good at liver because.

• 57:03Speaker 04

  But here was like no face, like no strikes to the face, not even like open.

• 57:07Speaker 03

  Yeah. Have you seen some of the?

• 57:09Speaker 04

  Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about.

• 57:11Speaker 03

  Yeah. When he's like.

• 57:11Speaker 04

  They're like, he'll, I mean, you're punching them in the face.

• 57:14Speaker 03

  Body.

• 57:15Speaker 04

  Yeah. It's, it's a punch.

• 57:17Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 57:17Speaker 04

  At that, at that point. Uh, but then, you know, I, oh, this is great. Sign up. And then some fucking dude would take me down and I had no clue what the hell was going on. We probably solved this. We should probably figure this out.

• 57:34Speaker 03

  I'm good ride until I'm here.

• 57:35Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 57:37Speaker 03

  Don't know what to do with my limbs because they grab everything.

• 57:43Speaker 04

  So they have a little bit of that in the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program. Uh, but didn't really have like any training.

• 57:54Speaker 03

  Awesome. And then that's what got you into like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. You just fully went into.

• 57:58Speaker 04

  Well, no. So then I started training and then they're like, hey, you can compete in this. I was like, that's incredible. And then you just, I think it just gives you something. Well, there's a lot of things that are similar to the military inside of Jiu-Jitsu. Like one, it's hard for everyone.

• 58:17Speaker 04

  So it's like, it just sucks, right?

• 58:19Speaker 03

  There's rank.

• 58:19Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 58:22The Fat Electrician?

  You can just look at somebody's uniform and immediately know things about them.

• 58:28Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah. And me.

• 58:30The Fat Electrician?

  That is a nice part about the military where it's like, yeah, little small wiry dude. Oh shit. Little small wiry dudes got multiple bronze stars with V device. All right. Never mind.

• 58:43Speaker 03

  The most dangerous dudes, they always look unassuming and you're like, what do you do?

• 58:46The Fat Electrician?

  I can't talk about it.

• 58:47Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 58:50Speaker 03

  Yeah. Terry is a great example.

• 58:53The Fat Electrician?

  We Kevin came out here. Kevin's the owner of Q. He made the honey badger. He made.

• 58:58Speaker 03

  Oh, okay. Cool. Yeah.

• 59:00The Fat Electrician?

  He came out here and we like, we did a podcast with him and it was great. And then we had a, a party, a pre-range day party for Cody and Brandon's range day. And that party was going on. Eli's like, we gotta come back. Me and you were gonna film one with Terry. I was like, who the fuck is Terry? And Terry was like, one of his friends that was just sitting on the couch watching the whole time is, I don't know, five, eight?

• 59:19Speaker 03

  Oh, he's five, six.

• 59:20The Fat Electrician?

  Five, six, short dude, kinda built, little wide, just looked like a normal country boy, like completely unassuming. I was like, okay, who the fuck is, who the fuck is Terry? He's like, oh, that's the guy that they sent in to save Captain Phillips. Oh, shit. Terry's.

• 59:36The Fat Electrician?

  Oh, alright, yeah.

• 59:37Speaker 03

  Now he's couch surfing.

• 59:38The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 59:39Speaker 03

  Terry's.

• 59:39The Fat Electrician?

  Stacks bodies.

• 59:44The Fat Electrician?

  Hearing him tell those stories were.

• 59:45Speaker 03

  Wait, so he's one of the shooters?

• 59:47The Fat Electrician?

  He was the guy that led the team that Halo jumped into the ocean, got picked up by another ship and then tracked his ship down. And then waited for all three pirates to have their heads in a porthole at the same time.

• 1:00:01Speaker 03

  Just woke up from a nap when he killed.

• 1:00:04The Fat Electrician?

  And hearing his perspective on like, he's like, I don't know, I was doing special forces shit and I jumped into the ocean, got on a boat and the captain of the boat's like, alright, what are we doing? You're the captain of the boat now. He's like, I don't fucking know. I'm the captain of the boat.

• 1:00:15Speaker 03

  But you're a captain. For like rank, it was nothing to me. I don't know where the fuck boat is.

• 1:00:23Speaker 04

  That's incredible.

• 1:00:24Speaker 03

  And he woke up from the nap he talked about. He's like, yeah, I was waking up from a nap and then walked up with stress. And then the guy's like, hey, uh, shots coming up.

• 1:00:36Speaker 04

  Well, that's dead. But that's why I like the, our military training is so good. Cause you're just, you're just training again.

• 1:00:44Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:00:45Speaker 04

  It's just real shit flying back at you.

• 1:00:48Speaker 03

  All the time, all the time.

• 1:00:50Speaker 04

  It's like, nothing changes.

• 1:00:52Speaker 03

  Dude, those, uh, so presumed, when did you? Did you just fully go into it out the gate? Or was it just like, oh, with the competition and then aggressing camaraderie, you felt?

• 1:01:06Speaker 04

  No, well, it's actually funny now because now we have eight schools. And we actually have like a company. But when I started, it was like for me. So I never, I, like, I kept going probably because of competition, but I never thought of, like, I never wanted to teach people it. Like, I never wanted to have a business, like I had a job. Which a lot of people, I think in the industry don't. Uh, so. Like after, actually after I, I won a world championship at brown belt. So do you know the ranking system?

• 1:01:43The Fat Electrician?

  Yes.

• 1:01:44Speaker 04

  It's like white, blue, purple, brown, black. Uh, after that, I just like stopped training.

• 1:01:50Speaker 03

  No shit.

• 1:01:51Speaker 04

  Yeah. Cause we lived in like the desert in California. So it wasn't really like higher level guys. I think I was just kind of athletic. I don't think I was really good. And just like, liked the fight. So I was like, I'm not gonna have a chance at, as a black belt.

• 1:02:07Speaker 03

  A lot of the people, that's what's hard. Uh, I forget which. It's like one of the Shoto Connor, original Japanese guys that brought martial arts to the United States. Um. It was one of his disciples. He just didn't have any equals at his gym and he was fucking talented, but in that area, he was just. He hit pinnacle and then he just was having a hard time pushing himself. Cause all the other guys left. And then he declined without those dudes that would really push him. And he's like, it sucked that that happened. That's why they came to the United States to have more people.

• 1:02:42Speaker 04

  Funny though, cause like now, I think then, like, so even inside of jujitsu, like. So I, I got my black belt like eight years. And then I just kinda stopped training. And then my brother got me to train with, who is now my coach. And these guys are like the most legendary brothers in like competitive jujitsu. But it's not even just about competition. It's actually like the mentality of training. Like I never knew how to train. Like I would just go into the gym and fight every day. And like, that's how to train. But now like, especially being older, if I decide to compete again, like.

• 1:03:25Speaker 04

  I know how to train. I don't need to have like guys that are equal to me to improve.

• 1:03:31Speaker 03

  That makes sense.

• 1:03:32Speaker 04

  Does that make sense?

• 1:03:32Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:03:33Speaker 04

  There's like, even inside of that, it's like, even inside of that art, there's a lot of confusion. Like, most people don't actually understand it.

• 1:03:43Speaker 03

  And I, it's a really good point because you can overtrain. People don't think about that. Even working out, you can just overlift and then your body's not gaining weight.

• 1:03:52Speaker 04

  With you guys and just like not really be in shape, but.

• 1:03:58Speaker 04

  Like.

• 1:03:58The Fat Electrician?

  Still beat the shit out of me. Yeah.

• 1:04:00Speaker 04

  No, but it's like you, it's so, it's like really, it's more about like efficiency.

• 1:04:04Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:04:04Speaker 04

  Right? Or like being able to survive. So like, I can let Nick, like literally beat the shit out of me and like, I can still keep going. Like I can still survive or like not be submitted.

• 1:04:14The Fat Electrician?

  Shit out of them until I get tired.

• 1:04:16Speaker 04

  So it's like, what's more, what's more powerful? I can submit you or you can do nothing to me.

• 1:04:20The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:20Speaker 04

  To harm me. Like which ones, which ones?

• 1:04:22The Fat Electrician?

  I've tried asshole.

• 1:04:26Speaker 04

  Just give up.

• 1:04:28The Fat Electrician?

  There's nothing worse than like, he's like, he walks into my gym for the first time. He's like, what do you, and like, we do like six minute rounds. He goes, oh, just turn music on. Alright, go ahead. Attack me. It's just like me, dead 10 minutes later, breathing out of every orifice of my body for air desperately.

• 1:04:47Speaker 04

  Till you're tired. Like your technique doesn't start till you're tired. So it's like, okay.

• 1:04:53Speaker 03

  That's a good way. Uh, who, who's the other one athlete that says that? It's like, I don't count it until the burn starts to happen, lifting weights.

• 1:05:02The Fat Electrician?

  Tyson with, or Muhammad Ali with pushups.

• 1:05:04Speaker 03

  There it is. Yeah.

• 1:05:07The Fat Electrician?

  Push up. He doesn't start counting pushups until he's at like at muscle failure or whatever.

• 1:05:12Speaker 04

  Yeah. I mean, well, cause at the end of the day, you have to, it was actually for fighting. It wasn't for competition.

• 1:05:19Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:05:20Speaker 04

  So you don't get a timer. Did you get a timer in war?

• 1:05:24Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:05:25The Fat Electrician?

  Stop, pause.

• 1:05:27Speaker 03

  Sixteen months.

• 1:05:30The Fat Electrician?

  I'm hurt.

• 1:05:32Speaker 03

  That's been going on for too long now. Let's, let's call, let's just take a break.

• 1:05:36Speaker 04

  Which actually, didn't they do that in like world war one or?

• 1:05:39Speaker 03

  Two.

• 1:05:40The Fat Electrician?

  Uh, no.

• 1:05:41Speaker 04

  When were they like, alright guys, time out.

• 1:05:43The Fat Electrician?

  Trenches.

• 1:05:44Speaker 03

  Oh, that was, okay. That's even more fucking wild.

• 1:05:46Speaker 04

  Yeah, but even what, didn't they stop at night or?

• 1:05:49The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah. I mean, there's all these. Celebrated Christmas together.

• 1:05:52Speaker 04

  And someone's like, maybe we should just not follow those rules.

• 1:05:57Speaker 03

  So that would be so unnerving though, like middle of fucking trench warfare. You're like.

• 1:06:02The Fat Electrician?

  Ding ding ding, time.

• 1:06:04Speaker 03

  Watch me.

• 1:06:04The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 1:06:05Speaker 03

  Hey, what's up, dog?

• 1:06:07The Fat Electrician?

  You wanna see me trigger Eli's autism? What do you do now for side gig work?

• 1:06:14Speaker 04

  Oh, security, security?

• 1:06:15The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah. For who?

• 1:06:19Speaker 04

  Well.

• 1:06:19The Fat Electrician?

  Well.

• 1:06:20Speaker 03

  We can beat the.

• 1:06:21The Fat Electrician?

  What career path?

• 1:06:22Speaker 04

  Boxing?

• 1:06:23The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 1:06:23Speaker 04

  For boxing? For boxers? Yeah, yeah.

• 1:06:25Speaker 03

  For boxers?

• 1:06:26Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:06:26Speaker 03

  Bleep the name.

• 1:06:27Speaker 04

  Hey, so do you know who Jesse Bam Rodriguez is?

• 1:06:30Speaker 03

  Yeah, Bam.

• 1:06:30Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:06:31Speaker 03

  No shit.

• 1:06:32Speaker 04

  When did he fight?

• 1:06:34Speaker 03

  Uh, Bam is, Bam is one of the most terrifying New Mex- New Mexican.

• 1:06:39Speaker 04

  He's American.

• 1:06:40Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:06:40Speaker 04

  But he says it. He's, I've been with him. He does interviews or like, starts speaking to him in Spanish. He's like.

• 1:06:48Speaker 03

  No, he, so when I, I always say he has a Mexican.

• 1:06:51Speaker 04

  Wait, when did he fight?

• 1:06:52Speaker 03

  Well, he fought Bam's last fight was. Two months ago, month ago?

• 1:06:58Speaker 04

  No, dude, it was Saturday night.

• 1:07:00Speaker 03

  Oh my God. He won. He better have won.

• 1:07:02Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:07:03Speaker 03

  Knockout?

• 1:07:04Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:07:04Speaker 03

  And he was facing the other guy that hadn't been.

• 1:07:06Speaker 04

  No, a hundred, yeah. Another, the champ at the next weight class up.

• 1:07:10Speaker 03

  Yeah. Cause Bam's going up. This is his second.

• 1:07:13Speaker 04

  But he's not, he's, he's the best fighter in the world.

• 1:07:18Donut Operator?

  Guess who's the inheritor of a new pot? Not Brandon, cause he doesn't cook. It's me. Notice how it didn't dent even against Connor's hard ass head.

• 1:07:27Speaker 04

  Yeah, I smelled toast.

• 1:07:30Speaker 03

  He's cooking the meal of his dreams with Hexclad. I love Hexclad. How was your dream? It was great. I cooked a grilled cheese sandwich. Thanks to Hexclad?

• 1:07:39Speaker 05

  Unironically support this product, so.

• 1:07:41Speaker 03

  On a serious note, we all use those. They've replaced even my cast iron skillet. Now I started using that over my cast iron.

• 1:07:48Speaker 05

  They're, they make a big old wok. I don't know. I don't know the technical term for it, but the big like round one.

• 1:07:54Speaker 03

  No, it is. It's a giant wok.

• 1:07:55Speaker 05

  But yeah, no, the, the wok, dude, get the wok.

• 1:07:57Speaker 03

  Dude, they, they get hot as hell.

• 1:08:00Speaker 05

  The heat distribution is phenomenal too. Cause like that wok, like if you put it on, uh, if you use a gas stove, like somebody who knows how to cook and not an electric stove, uh, I'll forgive it if you're renting. But, uh, the heat distribution is so perfect. You can drop an egg in and not only does it glide around, but it's so evenly heated all the way around. Make some fried rice in that wok.

• 1:08:23Speaker 03

  Hmm. Oh, and it doesn't stick thanks to Hexclad's anti-stick. What's the feature called?

• 1:08:29Speaker 05

  Turbom ceramic.

• 1:08:31Speaker 03

  And that's usually the big trade off with anything like this is easy to clean, trash to cook with, or vice versa. This is like, hey, we got you all in one pan or pans. So if you're planning on spending time behind the grill this summer, don't make it harder than it has to be.

  That's H E X C L A D dot com slash U N S U B. Is my nose bleeding?

• 1:09:08Speaker 03

  Not yet, but I'm sure it will soon. That dude, I'm.

• 1:09:11Speaker 04

  So he doesn't fight like a Mexican. He fights like.

• 1:09:14Speaker 03

  He's one of the most technical aspects.

• 1:09:16Speaker 04

  With power.

• 1:09:16Speaker 03

  Yep. Cause he's dude, how he level changes and then how he sets up his other punches. Cause he is actively looking Mexican is.

• 1:09:25Speaker 04

  He said he goes into like, he said he goes into the flow state. He's like, I don't even remember knocking these guys out.

• 1:09:30Speaker 03

  I, I cannot wait for him to fight, um, monster.

• 1:09:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's what we're talking about with the weight classes. Yeah, we'll see. I don't know.

• 1:09:39Speaker 03

  Cause he has how much more weight?

• 1:09:41Speaker 04

  So I think he'll probably fight. I mean, it's what he wants to be honest.

• 1:09:45Speaker 03

  It's a good payday.

• 1:09:46Speaker 04

  There's a, yeah, I mean, it would be, yeah, it would be the best. It would be the biggest fight in boxing, which is ironic considering that he's 118 pounds.

• 1:09:56Speaker 03

  18 pounds. Yeah.

• 1:09:58Speaker 04

  But yeah, so he won at 112, 115, just won at 118.

• 1:10:04The Fat Electrician?

  Boxing weight classes are crazy to me.

• 1:10:06Speaker 03

  He's three pounds. That's why you get his pack yells.

• 1:10:08Speaker 04

  But then it's like, but then, but it is. So let's say he probably weighs 128 when he fights. Right? So he weighs in at 118, weighs 128, but then like, and now he could come in at 135, like.

• 1:10:25Speaker 03

  Just come in.

• 1:10:25Speaker 04

  I mean, that's a big, like it is a big difference.

• 1:10:29Speaker 03

  It's a huge difference.

• 1:10:31Speaker 04

  So, I mean, cause Bam's small. I don't, I don't think anyone thought he would progress that like quickly through the, but he's 26 years old. I don't think he'll fight much longer.

• 1:10:42Speaker 03

  He's a mo, like knockout power, especially at that weight class.

• 1:10:46Speaker 04

  Watch. Yeah. You have to watch. This guy is ridiculous.

• 1:10:50Speaker 03

  Dude, I love how he fucking.

• 1:10:51Speaker 04

  There's nobody else. There's like it. Yeah.

• 1:10:53Speaker 03

  He switches dances like it's.

• 1:10:55Speaker 04

  He just makes these guys look stupid and they're champions.

• 1:11:00Speaker 03

  That's the most demoralizing thing.

• 1:11:02The Fat Electrician?

  I just think it's funny that the boxing guys hire the jujitsu guys for security. That's all I'm saying. I just think that's the funny part to me.

• 1:11:09Speaker 03

  Dude, that's fucking crazy. Uh, my coach, Daniel, he's huge fan of Bam. Uh.

• 1:11:15Speaker 04

  Yeah. Cause he's from San Antonio.

• 1:11:16Speaker 03

  Yeah. And like Daniel.

• 1:11:17Speaker 04

  I think his next, I, I'm thinking like just listening to like his interviews and I think the next fight will probably be another

• 1:11:28Speaker 04

  118, another fight at 118, probably to unify and let him see how it feels. And then like.

• 1:11:36Speaker 03

  Cause going up to the big one, it's way more brutal and a lot of people

• 1:11:42Speaker 03

  think they're just like, oh, it's just moving up weight classes. That's how you see world champions fall off. Cause they go to the wrong weight class and now I'm not as fast and I rely on my speed. And now where I'm used to being able to move, I'm getting tagged or age also will determine. You start seeing people find off.

• 1:12:02The Fat Electrician?

  Doesn't like limb, like reach start to really play a big advantage too? Like if you're going, if you're not naturally that high in weight and you start fighting people with a lot longer arms. Like, I feel like that's what we saw last night with Taporia versus, uh, Gagey. Gagey had so much reach. Every time he tried to come in, he was eating jabs.

• 1:12:20Speaker 03

  And homie wasn't moving his head.

• 1:12:22Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:12:22Speaker 03

  Face to fist style.

• 1:12:23Speaker 04

  I would agree with that, but like you, you would know just from watching, like this guy is different.

• 1:12:30Speaker 03

  He's.

• 1:12:30Speaker 04

  Like they don't know where he is. Like the way that he moves is like, it's, and he's, he's always close. He always finds a way in.

• 1:12:38Speaker 03

  He's a slip stance where it's like, hey, I'm over here. Now I'm switching positions. So I'm back to orthodox tagging you trying to turn into him. And he is knockout power, which at that weight class, those dudes get hit and they're like, uh.

• 1:12:52Speaker 04

  He fought, uh, so there's a, he did another big fight in Phoenix. So that's where he won his first title. So he's been fighting like most of his big fights there. But there was another boxer Estrada. You remember? He was like, so he's been the champ for a long time. Mexican, like Mexican fighter and Bam fought him when he came up to 115, I think. And in, in Phoenix, and he stopped him, I think in the fifth round with like liver shot. Like writhing in pain on the like, but you could see from the get go, it's like, this is over.

• 1:13:28The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah. KG almost got taken out by liver shots.

• 1:13:31Speaker 04

  Dude, I, I actually saw that highlight. I was like, dude.

• 1:13:34The Fat Electrician?

  Did you guys watch the fights?

• 1:13:35Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:13:35The Fat Electrician?

  Did you watch it?

• 1:13:36Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:13:36The Fat Electrician?

  Dude, so good.

• 1:13:38Speaker 03

  It's poetry. Again, no head movement.

• 1:13:41The Fat Electrician?

  I, I, you couldn't, you couldn't have wrote, I was talking shit about the UFC card. I still, the card was like meh overall, but you couldn't have wrote a better, if you would have wrote that main event, people would have thought it's fiction a hundred percent, like five to one underdog American going in against.

• 1:14:04Speaker 03

  Was that, was he five to one?

• 1:14:05The Fat Electrician?

  Five to one. He was five to one underdog.

• 1:14:08Speaker 03

  No respect.

• 1:14:08The Fat Electrician?

  Going in against a foreigner, fighting on American soil on America's 250th birthday. And the American goes out there and just beats the piss out of them.

• 1:14:18Speaker 03

  Oh, okay.

• 1:14:19The Fat Electrician?

  Until he quits on the stool.

• 1:14:21Speaker 05

  A grand.

• 1:14:22Speaker 03

  Oh, okay.

• 1:14:22Speaker 05

  Nothing crazy.

• 1:14:23Speaker 04

  The, uh, yeah, that's funny because it's kind of like the built for war thing, right? Like, okay, you're going to come out and just stop this guy. It's kind of like the Strickland thing. Like, oh, you're just going to come out and stop him. Like these dudes are built, like Gagey's been knocked out, but not in the first round or second round or.

• 1:14:44The Fat Electrician?

  No.

• 1:14:45Speaker 04

  You know, it's like maybe in the last second of the fight.

• 1:14:47The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah. That was with the Matts Hall way. He got, he just, Justin Poirier knocked him out too. I think those are the two.

• 1:14:54Speaker 04

  Oh, okay. Okay.

• 1:14:55The Fat Electrician?

  But he's an American, so that doesn't count. Yeah.

• 1:14:57Speaker 03

  You just got those, uh, the skill levels and there is where, oh, this fighter can beat this fighter.

• 1:15:02Speaker 04

  I didn't see Makoto was like, there's levels to this.

• 1:15:06The Fat Electrician?

  Well, you could tell like, and I, I was texting Connor the whole time the fight was going on. And I was like, the longer this fight goes, the more in favor it is with Gagey. Just cause like this guy's, I don't think he's ever went out of the first round or second round for a fight. And he's going into the third, fourth and fifth round with Gagey, who pretty much exclusively lives there.

• 1:15:26Speaker 04

  He lives in like deep water.

• 1:15:28The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 1:15:28Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:15:30Speaker 04

  We're just going to get the shit kicked out of us. One of us is gonna.

• 1:15:34Speaker 03

  I, nice fuel tank. I have a new killer. Reactor just runs.

• 1:15:39The Fat Electrician?

  I text, uh, I text Connor, it was like the third or fourth round when, uh, Taporia took a shot and tried to take down Gagey. And Gagey, you could literally look, he takes his shot and Gagey doesn't even move. He just looks down at his waist and is like, and then fucking sprawls and makes him eat it. I was like, this fight's over.

• 1:16:00Speaker 04

  It's like when, uh, well, there's two. So one is like when Conor McGregor shot on Nate Diaz.

• 1:16:05The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 1:16:05Speaker 04

  You're like, oh, okay. This is, this is over. Yeah. And then, uh, when Shamiya full guard.

• 1:16:12The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 1:16:13Speaker 04

  Didn't he just like, ah.

• 1:16:15The Fat Electrician?

  I have to get this to the ground. Things are not going well.

• 1:16:21Speaker 03

  I'm going to get down. Do the

• 1:16:26Speaker 03

  dang it, uh, fuck, my brain just, uh, I'm surprised they didn't stop the fight or his coach let him go back in.

• 1:16:36The Fat Electrician?

  Fucking bullshit. It should have been stopped. I was going to be so mad if he lost because the doctor thing.

• 1:16:41Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 1:16:42The Fat Electrician?

  When the doc, you can fucking hear it that they're like, bring the doctor out. He just said, he can't see out of his right eye. They bring the doctor out and you can see the doctor go, fight's over. He can't see out of his right eye. And then. The ref comes out and is like, I'm gonna let it go. And even Joe Rogan and DC were being like, well, this is kind of bullshit because they just let him rest for an extra 60 seconds when he was fucked up. And then he came back out super fresh. And I was like, this is the Tim Kennedy fucking scandal all over again.

• 1:17:12Speaker 04

  But what do you, but what do you think? What do you think that is? Just bad judgment in the heat of the moment?

• 1:17:18The Fat Electrician?

  I think it, I think it was a hundred percent that the ref was under pressure of he did not want the main event of this historic fucking UFC event to get stopped due to doctor's stoppage.

• 1:17:31Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 1:17:32The Fat Electrician?

  I a hundred percent think that's what it was, but.

• 1:17:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, you're not allowed to say, I can't see. And then they, yeah.

• 1:17:38The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah, it's fine.

• 1:17:39Speaker 04

  Let him go.

• 1:17:40The Fat Electrician?

  I'm sorry. That's like literally the one thing they're looking for. Can you see? And he's like, can't see anything out of my right eye. Fuck it. He's good to go. Then his face just gets turned into fucking hamburger.

• 1:17:51Speaker 03

  He looked like Jesus from the Passion of the Christ.

• 1:17:56Speaker 03

  Dude, his face was fucking mangled, dude. You're like, oh, oh, you're going back out as a, like, if I was in his corner, I'd be like, dude, good job.

• 1:18:08The Fat Electrician?

  Okay.

• 1:18:08Speaker 03

  Throw that out.

• 1:18:09The Fat Electrician?

  Gage's post fight interview was hilarious because he's like, I knew he's like, and you could see it because he had his, uh, his eye was bleeding first. And he's like, I knew I was gonna win as soon as he started bleeding. And I was watching in the fight too. And I remember seeing it. As soon as he was bleeding, he kept doing this and looking at his glove and then going back to fighting and then doing this. And he did it like 10 times. And he's like,

• 1:18:30Speaker 04

  Gage is like, oh, he doesn't like that.

• 1:18:32The Fat Electrician?

  He's such, he's such a pretty boy. He's worried about his face right now. He's like, that's when I knew it was the turning point.

• 1:18:39Speaker 03

  I would have been staying on that right side. I'm like, I'm gonna work on this side of your body because you're, everything's gone. Just getting punched in the face over and over. It was a good, I mean, that was a war. And then, uh, who are they complaining about, uh, for elbows and punches in the back of the head? They're like, oh, because there's a bunch of shit going on right now.

• 1:19:00The Fat Electrician?

  I don't remember.

• 1:19:00Speaker 04

  Oh, the pre-oral fight.

• 1:19:02Speaker 05

  That clip was fucking nasty though, man. Just back of the head, like seven, eight times.

• 1:19:06Speaker 03

  And they're like, they're not stopping the fight. I was like, I don't know. On that one, it's always back of head is a dangerous place to get hit. I mean, everyone knows that. And they were just letting it slide because he didn't even get told stop pretty much, right?

• 1:19:18The Fat Electrician?

  Hmm. I was watching. I didn't think it was.

• 1:19:21Speaker 04

  Yeah, I thought it was like kind of the side.

• 1:19:22The Fat Electrician?

  I mean, I thought it was to this area of the head, which is fine. I mean, it's literally.

• 1:19:27Speaker 04

  Well, I don't know what the definition of the back of the head is.

• 1:19:29The Fat Electrician?

  It's, I always thought it was the, the triangle right where the spine connects to the back of the head. And I thought he was doing a decent job of avoiding it. I would, like, I watched it live. I didn't think anything was too egregious.

• 1:19:40Speaker 04

  Well, I think it was coming this way too, right?

• 1:19:42The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah, it was coming. It wasn't straight up and down. It was coming from the side.

• 1:19:46Speaker 04

  Straight up and down thing.

• 1:19:47The Fat Electrician?

  Which that whole, the elbow rule is fucking stupid to begin with. It's good.

• 1:19:52Speaker 04

  Which one?

• 1:19:53The Fat Electrician?

  The 12 to six elbows. You can't.

• 1:19:56Speaker 04

  Oh, that it's not allowed?

• 1:19:57The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah. Do you know why?

• 1:19:59Speaker 04

  No.

• 1:19:59The Fat Electrician?

  Because back in the day when UFC was like brand new and coming up and John McCain was hardcore against it. And they were like struggling to let any states even let them hold events.

• 1:20:11The Fat Electrician?

  The boxing commission was in charge of like coordinating with them to make the rules for MMA, to bring it mainstream. And one of the dudes at the boxing commission, who knows fucking nothing about fighting outside of boxing, went to like a martial arts demonstration to learn more, which good for him. That makes sense.

• 1:20:30Speaker 04

  Demonstration.

• 1:20:31The Fat Electrician?

  At least he's trying to learn. I'll give him credit there. But he goes to like a fucking karate demonstration. And one of these fucking karate black belts does the fucking 12 to six elbow and breaks fucking 15 landscaping bricks with it. And he goes, oh my God, we can't allow this 12 to six elbows. That's where that rule comes from.

• 1:20:53Speaker 03

  Imagine he hits a head with the.

• 1:20:59Speaker 03

  Eyeballs hitting the crowd. It's like, I told you guys that was dangerous.

• 1:21:06Speaker 03

  The headless corpse as he chunks it off.

• 1:21:10The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah, that's literally where that rule comes from. Insane.

• 1:21:12Speaker 04

  Well, it's probably the same as the heavyweight rule, right? Like some of those things probably existed. Like, okay, we have to cut it at 265 because everything over is too dangerous.

• 1:21:22Speaker 03

  What?

• 1:21:23The Fat Electrician?

  Now you're 300, you're 300.

• 1:21:26Speaker 04

  Fight. Figure it out. Just don't bite each other.

• 1:21:29The Fat Electrician?

  Pretty much.

• 1:21:30Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:21:31Speaker 03

  Back in the day, yeah, you could just, because you could attack the groin at the gate, right?

• 1:21:35The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah, that one dude is just straight up. He had caught in a submission, was just punching him in the dick.

• 1:21:42Speaker 03

  That elbow.

• 1:21:43Speaker 04

  Well, even Hoist was like pulling the one, was pulling Kimbo's hair, like that one.

• 1:21:47The Fat Electrician?

  Yep.

• 1:21:48Speaker 04

  Like, got a haircut after that.

• 1:21:51Speaker 03

  Dude, that was back in, man, those old, old UFC was crazy because it was just.

• 1:21:56The Fat Electrician?

  Dude, bringing on Don Fry is one of my favorite podcasts we ever did.

• 1:21:59Speaker 04

  Oh, really? Is he, is he in Texas?

• 1:22:03The Fat Electrician?

  Uh, Arizona. He lives out in Arizona and he, but he came out here and he is exactly who you hope he is. He's every bit of who you hope he is.

• 1:22:12Speaker 05

  Just slamming whiskey, calling people queers. It's awesome.

• 1:22:16Speaker 03

  Dude, that's Don Fry. Like, yeah. And but my wife, Sal was like, dude, he's like, have the one with the big tits make the drink.

• 1:22:26Speaker 04

  All right.

• 1:22:27Speaker 03

  Yes, Don Fry.

• 1:22:29The Fat Electrician?

  We're at brunch. We sit down to brunch and Eli always orders like fruity drinks. And Cody's drinking manmosas, which to Don Fry looks fruity also.

• 1:22:38Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:22:39The Fat Electrician?

  So Cody orders a manmosa, Eli orders whatever fucking pink fruity drink he gets. I'm not drinking at the time. And Don Fry is like talking, what are you queer? Like talking shit to Eli. And this little like bubbly waitress, and he's like, can I just get bur, you got bourbon? And she's like, yeah. And then she like pulls up her menu and she starts reading off like all the craft drinks that have bourbon. He's like, sweetheart, I just, just bourbon. And she's like, oh, okay. And she like goes to walk away. He goes, make it a triple. I don't want you to wear your shoes out. She's walking away. He's so funny.

• 1:23:17Speaker 04

  Oh my God.

• 1:23:18Speaker 03

  Such a good old boy.

• 1:23:20Speaker 04

  What does he do?

• 1:23:21Speaker 03

  Don Fry, YouTube stuff.

• 1:23:23The Fat Electrician?

  He does Don Fry. He's Don Fry.

• 1:23:25Speaker 04

  There you go.

• 1:23:26The Fat Electrician?

  He's like a legendary character just roaming around the map now.

• 1:23:29Speaker 04

  Just being himself.

• 1:23:30The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah, a hundred percent.

• 1:23:32Speaker 03

  They just record him just saying quotes now. That's what I need. Yeah. And it works. I mean, you go, his channel's doing quite fine with that.

• 1:23:41Speaker 03

  Don't be a.

• 1:23:44Speaker 04

  And he's like a bobble, he needs a bobble head. It was just like.

• 1:23:47Speaker 03

  Yeah, just push it.

• 1:23:50Speaker 03

  Old Don Fry. So what is, uh, now, do you like boxing, UFC? What, what's your favorite shit to watch? Are you, do you do, you're like, eh?

• 1:23:59Speaker 04

  No.

• 1:24:00Speaker 03

  What do you, any sports you watch?

• 1:24:03Speaker 03

  What do you do for fun? Do you stare at a wall?

• 1:24:07The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 1:24:08Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:24:08The Fat Electrician?

  It's horrifying.

• 1:24:09Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:24:10Speaker 03

  Hey, what's up? I'm showing him Noble suitcases because.

• 1:24:14Speaker 05

  I'm intrigued.

• 1:24:14Speaker 03

  I bought one before they were a sponsor and then two weeks later, they're like, do you want to work together? I was like, yep.

• 1:24:21Speaker 05

  So this is one of those where like you used it beforehand.

• 1:24:24Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:24:25Speaker 05

  So not even joking, when we were traveling, uh, in Virginia the other day, I was like, oh, was that like one of the sponsor suitcases? And then you showed me all the features. I'm like, oh, actually, okay. I think I get it.

• 1:24:34Speaker 04

  Oh, you can use your fire, this can carry firearms too. You can just check it in with it.

• 1:24:37Speaker 05

  Oh, is it like TSA approved?

• 1:24:38Speaker 04

  Yeah, literally TSA. Yeah, they're all.

• 1:24:40Speaker 05

  Oh, no.

• 1:24:41Speaker 03

  Ooh.

• 1:24:42Speaker 05

  Oh, so you could just, you could just throw a fucking gun in that.

• 1:24:44Speaker 03

  Passer.

• 1:24:45Speaker 04

  It already has the TSA locks with it. So the TSA can check it really quick with their.

• 1:24:50Speaker 05

  Same key for both locks?

• 1:24:51Speaker 04

  Yep.

• 1:24:51Speaker 05

  So in that case, it's compliant. If you want to bring a, uh, surprise mouse cutool that will help you later.

• 1:24:56The Fat Electrician?

  Everyone loves surprise mouse cut tools.

• 1:24:58Speaker 05

  The robbers don't.

• 1:25:00Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 1:25:01Speaker 05

  They have an open container compartment.

• 1:25:04Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 1:25:06Speaker 04

  Wow, I bet you could put a laptop in there.

• 1:25:08The Fat Electrician?

  How would you know?

• 1:25:09Speaker 03

  I don't read Egyptian. I had a bag that I used to use. I don't do that anymore because this replaced everything for travel.

• 1:25:16Speaker 04

  I used to travel exclusively with a Kroger grocery bag. The holes were getting large.

• 1:25:22Speaker 05

  You never replaced the bag?

• 1:25:24Speaker 03

  But don't take our word on it. 500,000 suitcases sold in the highest rated luggage brand in the category on TrustPilot.

• 1:26:00Speaker 03

  Very Japanese of you.

• 1:26:02Speaker 04

  No, uh, well, our business, we're super busy. It's like, that's a lot.

• 1:26:06Speaker 03

  You said eight gyms?

• 1:26:08Speaker 04

  Yeah, and more.

• 1:26:10Speaker 03

  More.

• 1:26:10Speaker 04

  More, more coming soon.

• 1:26:12Speaker 03

  Geez.

• 1:26:13Speaker 04

  But it's a, but the gym thing is interesting because I think when you start looking at like, like, everyone here is fine, right? So when you think of like martial arts, I think there's a misconception of you see like, oh, jujitsu is good for like us. Cause we're like strong or athletic and like really it's better for people who are not that.

• 1:26:37Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:26:38Speaker 04

  Right? Well, the, probably the biggest, like when I started, when did you start?

• 1:26:44Speaker 03

  Twenty eleven, twenty ten.

• 1:26:46Speaker 04

  Okay, so about same period of time, a little different, different path.

• 1:26:51Speaker 03

  Training trajectory.

• 1:26:54Speaker 04

  But, uh, like when you come in, it's like you show up, someone's gonna try to kill you. And then if you're, you know, tough enough, you stay. If you're like, oh, maybe this is good for me or, you know, okay, I didn't like that. But so it's not like the environment isn't really set up the right way for the people who probably need it the most.

• 1:27:14Speaker 03

  That makes sense.

• 1:27:14Speaker 04

  Right? So like, I would have never thought to put my, I have three daughters. I would have never thought to put them in jujitsu, the way that I learned it. Right? Now they do jujitsu twice a week. They also do cheer and whatever other things, but like you will do that. So I think when we looked at it, or when we started, it was like, well, how do you create the environment for those people to be able to benefit from it? Well, that's hard because most of the industry is like, talking about steroids, they're like people, it's like, it's just, it's so not what martial arts is supposed to be, like the Japanese way, right? So it's like, kind of this, like, it's kind of like a thug fight sport.

• 1:27:55Speaker 03

  It's very much, it's, I mean, there's obviously different, every gym has a different vibe.

• 1:28:01Speaker 04

  Yeah, exactly, exactly, right? That's, which is crazy. And then what's funny is like, I was a consumer. Like I said, like I'd never really wanted to teach. And then, uh, so when I started training again, I'm already a black belt. And there's a guy named Salo Higero. And if you look, this, this guy is intense and he's insane. But he has such a good way to think, right? So when I start training, he's like the nicest guy. And then, uh, he was like, okay, let's train. So we train, I think it's like, there's a timer, it's like five minutes or whatnot. So I just kind of avoid like the fight.

• 1:28:43Speaker 04

  So like this guy's like seven time world champion, like if I survive, this is good. And survive is like not engage. So like the timer ends and he's like, keep going. He has like crazy voice, right? It's like, keep going. I'm like, shit, no, there's no time limit now. So eventually like, you know, mouths be chokes me. He's like, oh, you don't spend a lot of time there, huh? No, actually, actually almost not. Right? So then it, then I start training with him because I'm like, okay, I'm, I'm not learning. So there's something I'm missing in what I was taught. Right? And then for three years I'm training under this guy. He lives in San Diego. I live like almost three hours away. And every time we train is like no time limit.

• 1:29:29Speaker 04

  Basically until he's tired or bored. I don't know, whichever comes first, maybe. Um, but I, I'm thinking, okay, I'm a, I'm a brown belt world champion. I'll probably be okay. And like, I might as well be you, training with him. There's just no, like, it's not even close. So I think that part, I'm like, I remember one day he's like, you think that just because you get your ass kicked, you're getting better? I'm like, yes.

• 1:30:06Speaker 04

  But, uh, but inside of that, like, I learned a lot more about, like, they viewed jujitsu as martial arts. Like they wanted it to change. So when you're trying to, so we always say like, we see something wrong with the industry and want to change it. Like that's hard. So you think, oh, if I change things for the better, people are going to be on board with it. No, right? The opposite of that. So, yeah, so it's like, it's very time consuming. Right? That, and then I have three kids, like I used to love sports. Then they started teaching me about politics and I'm like, no, thanks.

• 1:30:42Speaker 03

  Smart enough.

• 1:30:42Speaker 04

  And then, uh, it's like, yeah, I'll watch it. Like I watch boxing when I'm sitting ringside, watching title fights. That's a different situation. But, uh, yeah, at home I don't.

• 1:30:55Speaker 03

  Interesting.

• 1:30:56Speaker 04

  I don't really have time for that.

• 1:30:57Speaker 03

  I still like your, your mindset on martial arts, because it is a, what, nineteen, nineteen thirties or forties is when it was like.

• 1:31:06Speaker 04

  Jitsu?

• 1:31:07Speaker 03

  Everything, like the belt system. Even, because I didn't realize that belt system was a more of an American thing. It was like here.

• 1:31:17The Fat Electrician?

  It was like the karate kid movie that turned karate. I mean, karate existed prior to that, but like, it was literally the karate kid movie that made martial arts mainstream. And like really brought about like the, we're gonna have thirty separate belts just to make money and.

• 1:31:30Speaker 04

  If you go back far enough, like, one, it's Japanese origin.

• 1:31:36Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:31:37Speaker 04

  So let's like, start with that. So it's jujitsu, not Brazilian jujitsu. That's what we teach.

• 1:31:43Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:31:43Speaker 04

  Um, but also like, if you go back far enough, like Teddy Roosevelt was a huge, learning jujitsu, right? And it wasn't, he wasn't learning Brazilian jujitsu. He was learning jujitsu.

• 1:31:56Speaker 03

  Which came from Judo to Jitsu, right? It was like Judo then.

• 1:32:00Speaker 04

  No, so it was jujitsu first.

• 1:32:02Speaker 03

  Interesting, okay.

• 1:32:03Speaker 04

  Right? And it was basically like, how do you fight without the sword? Cause there was the samurai and there's people that are much better. I'll, I'll destroy the history and all the history buffs will call me out on it.

• 1:32:15Speaker 03

  I can do it.

• 1:32:17Speaker 04

  It's, but it's like, really, that's where it started. Now there's a pretty big Japanese population in Brazil. Right? So it goes over there. Now, around, I want to say around the same time period, Judo starts, Jigoro Kano is the founder of Judo. And he's trying to create something that's, they're able to put in the education system. It's like Judo is in the education system in Japan. It's part of it, right? So this was educational. And it started with jujitsu and then there's, you know, a couple of different types of jujitsu, but Judo became more standing oriented. And what Jigoro Kano was saying was, will you, it's all about efficiency.

• 1:32:58Speaker 04

  And if you want to be good at stand up, you can't be good at stand up and be good at the ground, was his part, right? So you have to be smart with how you use your time. That's why for like, when we talk about jujitsu, jujitsu is about efficiency. So really the longer the fight, you'll see who's the better practitioner. Right? So you start looking, so I think Judo had its, like, the Japanese culture is a lot more geared towards like honor. And now it's an Olympic sport and this is an actual sport. So the ground kind of got ignored a little bit, but then it also ended up in Brazil. And I think a part of it too is like socio economic. Like if you look in Japan, they have like the Kotocon and they have these big academies built for Judo.

• 1:33:44Speaker 04

  And it's something that's part of the system. And there's money.

• 1:33:48Speaker 03

  Lot of money.

• 1:33:48Speaker 04

  They're a world country, right? And then in Brazil, you have, you know, smaller places that are packed with people who love what they're doing. But there's not enough room to do stand up, like stand up requires room.

• 1:34:00Speaker 05

  If you're all, if there's 50 of us crammed in this living room and we're gonna train, we're not gonna all wrestle, like, nothing's gonna happen. It's too dangerous. I think there's a part of it that's that. But then also, the Gracies did a great job of, like, branding it. And then the UFC, and so I think, like, and the way that they popularized it was like, basically going into gyms and beating the shit out of people. So I think, like, some of that mindset, like, that's why it ended up being what it was. It's like, this toughness kind of idea. So I think with us, it's great because we have people that are, like, the best in the world, some of the best in the world, but then we still say, like, hey, the martial arts

• 1:35:11Speaker 04

  mentality is important. Like, this mindset thing is important. It'd be very different if, like, we're terrible. And nobody could win a match. And we're like, guys, the fighting part's not as important as, like,

• 1:35:22Speaker 03

  Right here. Yeah, that's what matters.

• 1:35:24Speaker 04

  So there's like, there, but again, like, a lot of that stuff. I mean, even the industry doesn't provide jobs. Like, there's so many things that are wrong with it. That's like, we're trying to look at this whole thing and say, like, well, how do you change something?

• 1:35:35Speaker 03

  It's a, right, dude, it'd be extremely difficult, as you're saying, even hiring or creating jobs for that, cuz hard salary, and now you're basing that off of how many students you have, and you're like, hey, Steve, I can pay you X amount to come do this.

• 1:35:50Speaker 04

  Well, you can solve, so like, the economics can be, like, the economic equation can be solved.

• 1:35:54Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:35:54Speaker 04

  What I, well, like, what I've figured out, I think with the team is, like, we have to create the military.

• 1:36:02Speaker 04

  Like, there has to be a way that, say this, and it won't come out as well, like, there needs to be an indoctrination process, and then, like,

• 1:36:11Speaker 03

  That's why I cut my hand earlier.

• 1:36:13The Fat Electrician?

  I need them to believe in not being a shitbag before I get them good at beating people off.

• 1:36:17Speaker 04

  You, because it's, it's the, they're, like, what happens when you go to boot camp?

• 1:36:22Speaker 03

  Oh, you get fucking demoralized and.

• 1:36:24Speaker 04

  Yeah, they break you, and then they teach you how to, like, you know, be human in their form.

• 1:36:30Speaker 03

  And I, I love martial arts because of that respect thing. That's why I was like, the kiddos, my kiddos, uh, still putting, well, not riding, riding's like, no, thank you, daddy. I do not want to punch. I'm like, oh, yep, got it. But, um,

• 1:36:43Speaker 04

  Why don't you put them in jujitsu?

• 1:36:45Speaker 03

  Raiden's autistic, autistic, like, he does, he will not like,

• 1:36:49The Fat Electrician?

  He'd be so good.

• 1:36:49Speaker 03

  He would not want to make eye contact. He'd be like, stop, stop.

• 1:36:53Speaker 04

  Yeah, but, but, but like, like, what, no, no, but, but like, what, cuz like, we have a lot of autistic kids that that train jujitsu.

• 1:37:02Speaker 03

  He's, so, uh,

• 1:37:04Speaker 04

  Depends on, yeah, like, yes.

• 1:37:06Speaker 03

  There's different levels to it, yeah.

• 1:37:08Speaker 04

  There's obviously, like, that's a level. You can, you can still train.

• 1:37:12Speaker 03

  I can still talk to people. I can shower sometimes. But, uh, yeah, him is like, like, uh, but the respect that they learn from is what I loved from when I was young, and that's what I took to the military and then learned that in the military, but it's the one thing I truly appreciate was that respect, and you're like, okay, walk in, bow, do everything.

• 1:37:37Speaker 04

  Yeah, some of those, like,

• 1:37:38Speaker 03

  Traditional martial arts.

• 1:37:39Speaker 04

  Well, some of those simple things are actually like humility.

• 1:37:42Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:37:43Speaker 04

  Right? And if you look in the world today, it's like, where, where'd that go? Um, but it's funny that you talk about that, though, because there are kids that, like, we do have a lot of kids that are autistic in the, in our programs. And it's, my wife was mentioning it, like, a couple of years ago, she's like, there's like, a significant amount. Right? Like, much more than you would imagine. Uh, but what's funny is there are some kids that, like, this, they would struggle with the conversation, and did you see them train? You're like, dude, just keep doing that. Just like, just, you, you know what? And then they get done, and they, like, cuz everything's, for some, it's all about, like, order in a specific way for, like,

• 1:38:28Speaker 03

  Repetition.

• 1:38:28Speaker 04

  For most of them, right? So it's like, you know, where it's like, you get done, you shake the hand, like, you tell your partner to thank you. So they just, like, maul some kid, and then they get done, they're just like, grab their hand, like, shake it.

• 1:38:39The Fat Electrician?

  The other kids crying.

• 1:38:41Speaker 04

  It's like, no, no, we're supposed to follow this process again and again and again.

• 1:38:45Speaker 03

  Right, okay, thank you.

• 1:38:50Speaker 04

  No, but it's great. It's great. And like, you never know, cuz isn't it like, there's something that gets their attention. Right?

• 1:38:58Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah, that's what you're looking for. What's that one young guy, wears glasses? He's like, I'm autistic, and he's world champion. Um,

• 1:39:07Speaker 04

  Oh, Mikey Musamecki? It's, yeah, yes.

• 1:39:11The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah, for sure, that's who you're thinking of.

• 1:39:13Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:39:13The Fat Electrician?

  Small guy, yeah, shredded.

• 1:39:15Speaker 03

  Yes, and he's like, oh, I'm just autistic.

• 1:39:17Speaker 04

  He's autistic. It's like, yeah.

• 1:39:21Speaker 03

  I picture that dude just like,

• 1:39:22Speaker 04

  You're awkward.

• 1:39:23Speaker 03

  I, I just think he, that's, he's like, I just wanna, Jitsu, just read it all day.

• 1:39:29Speaker 04

  Like, it's so embarrassing.

• 1:39:31Speaker 03

  Is it?

• 1:39:32Speaker 04

  Like, I, yeah.

• 1:39:34Speaker 03

  Interesting.

• 1:39:35Speaker 04

  It's like, that's the guy, like, that's the guy, you're like, we should promote, this is what we should use to promote, like, that's a market, that's, dude, zero chance.

• 1:39:45The Fat Electrician?

  That's the industry's fault. He's the only guy that good, he's the only guy that good, not trying to bang his female students.

• 1:39:52Speaker 03

  Cause he bangs jujitsu.

• 1:39:54Speaker 04

  Yeah, but it's like, that's the thing you wanna use to, like, draw people in. Well, that's like Victor, like, uh, my partner is not that kind of partner. I know, I know where you went.

• 1:40:09Speaker 04

  But he, uh, but like, you've trained with him?

• 1:40:11Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:40:12Speaker 04

  He's 6'5", 260.

• 1:40:14Speaker 03

  He's enormous.

• 1:40:15Speaker 04

  He's, like, the guy is like, the American dream. But I came over here, and he was 19 years old. Like, lived in the gym, like, won world championships, like, no money, like, figured it out. Was really hurt, wasn't gonna be able to go, keep competing, like, got healthy, we started the business. Now, he's a business owner, he's made a bunch of money on the mat, off the mat, but he doesn't, like, he just lives his life. Like, he's not, you know, autistic or making, you know, just doing weird shit. He's actually just like, helping develop other people. Like, he spent, what, a week or a few days up in Iowa for a while?

• 1:40:57The Fat Electrician?

  He was on Underwhelming Podcast with us.

• 1:40:59Speaker 04

  Taught, taught kids, teaches, teaching kids classes, teaches adults.

• 1:41:03The Fat Electrician?

  All the kids are like,

• 1:41:06Speaker 04

  His hand is like, this, like,

• 1:41:08The Fat Electrician?

  Bro, he grabbed my collar on my gi, um, it was like, from here to here, from pinky to index knuckle.

• 1:41:14Speaker 04

  Yeah, he's huge.

• 1:41:15The Fat Electrician?

  It was insane.

• 1:41:15Speaker 04

  When, when my daughter was, so we've, I've known him, let's see, almost 10 years now. So my youngest is 10. So when she was little, everything was like, is the Ferris wheel as big as Victor?

• 1:41:28Speaker 03

  Oh, wow.

• 1:41:28Speaker 04

  I'm like, well, just imagine.

• 1:41:30Speaker 03

  Yeah, I mean, it makes it.

• 1:41:31Speaker 04

  This big, and it's like,

• 1:41:34Speaker 04

  it's like, is the airplane, is, is the airplane as big as Victor? It's a little bigger.

• 1:41:38Speaker 03

  I'm just picturing him palming your head.

• 1:41:41Speaker 04

  No, it's literally, it's like, but he's, but he's not, you know, and it's like, he's a difficult matchup for, like, even the UFC, they just recently had a, they had a, you guys don't do UFC stuff, do you? You're not sponsored by UFC here, not yet.

• 1:41:59Speaker 03

  Go ahead.

• 1:41:59Speaker 04

  Um, so they had, like, so Victor's normal life, like, just got married, you know, has his routine. He teaches, he runs the businesses, develops other athletes. His coach is a world champion also, our coach is a world champion also. And the problem is all these guys that are, you know, making autistic videos, and they're being promoted, like, he just mauls them.

• 1:42:26Speaker 03

  No shit.

• 1:42:27Speaker 04

  So it's not, like, good promoting. Like, I messaged the matchmaker and was like, oh, you have Victor's kids, like, two guys he submitted, fighting on the card, and then they won't put him on, like, he, it's hard for him to get matches, cuz it's not, it doesn't grab attention, and then he's gonna beat you.

• 1:42:44Speaker 03

  Gotcha.

• 1:42:44Speaker 04

  Right? So it's like a difficult, but in, in his mind, or in our mind, like, the business will be so much bigger than, you know, the short-term success these guys are gonna have making their weird videos. Right?

• 1:42:56Speaker 03

  Makes sense.

• 1:42:57Speaker 04

  So it's, but the, but now, that's the guy you're gonna put as, like, ever, you should try jujitsu, you might end up like this guy. Like, yeah, I think I'll put my kids in karate.

• 1:43:08Speaker 03

  Anything, that makes sense. That would be frustrating from the marketing standpoint, because you are,

• 1:43:15Speaker 03

  it's kind of luck of the draw, too. Like, unfortunately, if you're this Victor's skill level and just being able to dominate, but he doesn't really care about how he presents himself on social media, then.

• 1:43:27Speaker 04

  No, it's the opposite. His is like martial arts, like, what he's doing, like, it's,

• 1:43:32Speaker 03

  It's not, but it's not like, you know, the, wow.

• 1:43:34Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly.

• 1:43:35Speaker 03

  Gets clicks, and then what will get shares.

• 1:43:37Speaker 04

  And if you, if you actually went and looked, cuz we had a meeting in the beginning of the year where we were talking about not even using jujitsu in any of our, like, messaging. Because if you look it up, it's like some dude beating his wife, or like, so, I'm serious, dude. It's like, you know, what's his name's girlfriend, like, some dude's on the run. It's cra, steroids. Like, the best person in the world saying, well, if you're not using steroids, you're, you're cheating. You're cheating yourself.

• 1:44:05Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:44:05Speaker 04

  Right? It's like,

• 1:44:06Speaker 03

  Even I've heard that.

• 1:44:07Speaker 04

  That's what, that's what you wanna, that's what you wanna be putting out there for, you know, so it's, like, that's the part that's difficult. And then, you know, so.

• 1:44:17The Fat Electrician?

  I have to do this. Do you know the history of jujitsu?

• 1:44:21Speaker 03

  I do not, too.

• 1:44:22The Fat Electrician?

  You would find it interesting, cuz you're all into Japan.

• 1:44:25Speaker 03

  It's if, unless it was during the, what, it would've been,

• 1:44:29The Fat Electrician?

  Samurai.

• 1:44:30Speaker 03

  Yeah, so, uh, then it would've been judo and,

• 1:44:33Speaker 04

  So it was jujitsu, J U, it was J U, not J I U. It was J U.

• 1:44:38Speaker 03

  I watched Jitsu Kaisen.

• 1:44:40The Fat Electrician?

  This is not, I haven't validated this to the degree I do with the Fat Electrician video, so if I fuck this up a little, I'm sorry. This is my current understanding. So. So Samurai basically functioned kind of like feudal knights, like they just worked for different shoguns, right? So between Samurai, between the Samurai, there was like that professional, um, professional understanding of like, hey, me and you are homies, but you serve this shogun. I serve that shogun. We might end up fighting each other one day, even though we're cool and it's not personal, right?

• 1:45:12Speaker 03

  Oh, okay. Yeah.

• 1:45:13The Fat Electrician?

  So there was always that understanding. So a lot of times that Samurai like went to war with each other. At the end of the battle day, they would go out in the middle of the battlefield and have like dinner together. Cause like we're, we're off the clock.

• 1:45:25Speaker 03

  Well, and also, so I can piggyback, just add into it. One thing I do know, which is fucking wild. Same idea, like that it's wild that, oh, we're gonna have break bread now after we've been fighting all day. They would also, this was more before the fourteen hundreds. Was it not Bushido? I forget though. What is it called? The fighting style with sword?

• 1:45:49Speaker 03

  Ah, whatever. But you would have these armies like facing off and then usually it was like, they just challenged one at a time. You would have just two dudes fight one at a time and then kill and then the next one would go in there and kill, or I'm guessing that's part of it was.

• 1:46:06The Fat Electrician?

  So it all happened at dinner.

• 1:46:07Speaker 03

  Oh, okay.

• 1:46:08The Fat Electrician?

  So like jujitsu, while they're going to dinner, obviously like there's a lot of time, there's like the professional courtesy. Like I know Cody, we're fighting on different teams, but like, we're gonna hang out tonight and we'll go back to work tomorrow. There's also situations where it's like, I know Cody, I don't fucking like Cody. I kinda wanna kill him on the battlefield. And whenever you, so they would go to have dinner and whenever you go to dinner, it was like the big thing of like, hey, we're off the clock. If you draw your sword, everybody's gonna fucking kill you, cause we don't do that, right? Like you're breaking the code. So nobody could draw a weapon. So if you had a disagreement or you wanted to get in a fight with somebody over dinner, you would have a wrestling match.

• 1:46:49The Fat Electrician?

  And jujitsu and like submissions started to develop under the ideology of, okay, I wanna fucking kill Cody. I can't do it right now because everybody else will kill me, but if me and Cody wrestle tonight and I break his fucking arm, tomorrow, when I catch up with him on the battlefield, then I can cut his head off way easier. And that's where like submissions started to come in is I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna maim you right now. So I can fucking kill you tomorrow. And that's kind of how.

• 1:47:18Speaker 03

  Solid fucking plan.

• 1:47:20Speaker 04

  That the story of the last Samurai?

• 1:47:25Speaker 03

  We were, yeah, last Samurai, it's weird that we were looking that one up, I think, right?

• 1:47:29The Fat Electrician?

  Dude, my Samurai is awesome.

• 1:47:30Speaker 03

  French, but, uh, Tom Cruise is based off of a French guy instead.

• 1:47:35The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 1:47:38Speaker 04

  Story is completely different then.

• 1:47:40Speaker 03

  There, uh, uh, well, it follows like a lot that happened, just they were like, well, we'll just put Tom Cruise.

• 1:47:53Speaker 03

  One of the most famous Samurai in Japanese history, um, he's called the cowboy Samurai because he adopted, he would carry a thirty eight.

• 1:48:07Speaker 03

  So this is eighteen.

• 1:48:09The Fat Electrician?

  Wanting to be cowboys since the beginning.

• 1:48:13Speaker 03

  The one thing he would wear and cowboy boots. So he'd wear his normal kimono, the garb and cowboy boots, leather cowboy boots and that. And they actually.

• 1:48:26Donut Operator?

  Real life.

• 1:48:29The Fat Electrician?

  I love the cultural admiration between America and Japan.

• 1:48:33Speaker 04

  How did he even know that cowboy boots existed?

• 1:48:38Speaker 03

  He bought it like, so he was the one, he was like, hey, I don't like what's happening right now. We have to, uh,

• 1:48:48Speaker 03

  we have to build, yeah.

• 1:48:51Speaker 03

  He was seeing what was happening over like the colonization. Religion, all that happening. He was against that. So he was like, no. Then he teamed up with the guy that was in charge of the Japanese Navy at the time and they were, uh, they.

• 1:49:05Speaker 04

  We should wear cowboy boots. It's like, yeah.

• 1:49:08Speaker 03

  Like dude.

• 1:49:09The Fat Electrician?

  We gotta get mad drip so the kids like us more.

• 1:49:14Speaker 03

  Sakamoto Remora, like Sakamoto Ryuma, Ryuma?

• 1:49:24Donut Operator?

  Shows like an anime.

• 1:49:32Donut Operator?

  Is it, is it a comic book?

• 1:49:35Speaker 03

  There's his statue, his famous statue and his famous statue is the cowboy boots are on there.

• 1:49:40The Fat Electrician?

  Oh my God, he actually has cowboy boots.

• 1:49:43Speaker 03

  He's the second most famous Samurai, uh, some will claim, uh, Miyamoto Musashi.

• 1:49:48The Fat Electrician?

  Okay.

• 1:49:48Speaker 03

  So that dude.

• 1:49:49The Fat Electrician?

  Oh, that makes sense.

• 1:49:50Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:49:50The Fat Electrician?

  The most successful one.

• 1:49:51Speaker 03

  Yeah, the one that never died. He died an old man.

• 1:49:54The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 1:49:55Speaker 03

  In that timeframe and he would accept all the challenges.

• 1:49:57Donut Operator?

  This one lived on the mountain.

• 1:49:59The Fat Electrician?

  Wrote an entire book on cutting people's heads off.

• 1:50:01Donut Operator?

  Is that the guy that used the stick to kill people at first?

• 1:50:04The Fat Electrician?

  Yep.

• 1:50:04Donut Operator?

  Okay.

• 1:50:05Speaker 03

  At fucking.

• 1:50:06Donut Operator?

  It's like thirteen or some shit like that.

• 1:50:08Speaker 03

  He killed that fir- his first Samurai he killed.

• 1:50:11Donut Operator?

  Famous Samurai?

• 1:50:12Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:50:12Donut Operator?

  Yeah. He picked him, he picked him up and slammed him on his head and then beat him to death with a stick.

• 1:50:19Donut Operator?

  The other day.

• 1:50:20Speaker 03

  Twelve year old, he, uh, famous Samurai at that time.

• 1:50:23Speaker 04

  What were you listening to it on?

• 1:50:25Donut Operator?

  Uh, it was, someone was telling the story on YouTube.

• 1:50:27Speaker 03

  Oh, wow.

• 1:50:27Donut Operator?

  Yeah, it was, uh, he, he was like, I wanna make a name for myself, twelve years old. He finds the guy, the guy swings at him first and he just dodges it, picks him up, slams on his head, takes a wooden, a wooden katana and just beats his head in with it. Like, holy shit.

• 1:50:41Speaker 04

  No twelve year olds today are saying they wanna make a name for themselves.

• 1:50:44The Fat Electrician?

  Bring a stick to a sword fight.

• 1:50:46Speaker 03

  And he did, like, this dude had a poster, he was challenging any Samurai in the area and so.

• 1:50:51Speaker 04

  The twelve year old is like.

• 1:50:52Speaker 03

  Miyamoto seeing that, he's like, oh, cool, I'll do it. And the guy's like, fucking kid, what is he gonna do? And then he proceeded to crack him in the skull, knock him down and then bash his head in until it was nothing. And he's like, okay, and left. And then he just continued to do that. And then his most famous battle with Yojiro was showing up very late. He's like showed up three hours late to this duel. And you gotta remember like this is old Japan, so.

• 1:51:21The Fat Electrician?

  Is that why you do this for me?

• 1:51:23Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 1:51:29Speaker 03

  Pissed and that's how we won that fight. Homie was fucking pissed. Cause it was a three hour and homie rows his boat there and while he's rowing it, he carves one of the oars into a giant boken stick, makes it even longer, cause, uh, Yojiro used a, um,

• 1:51:48The Fat Electrician?

  That big bat thing?

• 1:51:49Speaker 03

  Yeah, well, like in the Dodge, like.

• 1:51:52Speaker 04

  They're choosing their weapon.

• 1:51:53Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:51:54Speaker 04

  Oh, and he was like, I'm gonna use a boat oar.

• 1:51:57Speaker 03

  And this is his last battle and this is, this is the most, this is the other, the greatest Samurai of that era too. So these are the two best fighters in the world.

• 1:52:07Speaker 04

  It's pound for pound, one, one, one versus two.

• 1:52:11Speaker 03

  Yeah, and fucking homie killed him with an oar.

• 1:52:16Speaker 03

  He's just waited.

• 1:52:17Speaker 04

  The level of disrespect on that one.

• 1:52:19Speaker 03

  He, you know what? Shade, he showed up. Dude, it's all about respect. He's fucking pissed. Cause again, he pulled up, he's like, didn't take a shower, didn't do the traditional, I'm fighting for my life. He was just a scrub.

• 1:52:32Speaker 04

  Like I'm gonna enrage this guy.

• 1:52:34Speaker 03

  And he was like, you're fucking late, da, da, da. He was like, okay, that's good. And then he's even more pissed, cause he has a wooden boat.

• 1:52:41Speaker 04

  This is crazy.

• 1:52:42Speaker 03

  He moves to the side and just whacks the dude as hard as he can in the head. And then one more time and kills him and then just bounces out, gets back on his boat, oars back to his little home and then.

• 1:52:53Speaker 04

  I'm gonna ascend into.

• 1:52:55Speaker 03

  And that was his sixtieth to, I think, he did sixty or sixty-four battles to the death.

• 1:53:00Speaker 04

  That's crazy.

• 1:53:02Donut Operator?

  Was that when the, the one where the guy's students were standing around watching too? And they just watched him get beat to fucking death?

• 1:53:07Speaker 03

  That, yep, yep.

• 1:53:11The Fat Electrician?

  I get asked all the time, like, are you ever gonna run out of stories for your channel and have to quit? I was like, no. Like I might have to expand outside of America, but I'm definitely not running out of stories I can look into, bro. Like, I went down a, like Vlad the Impaler rabbit hole the other day.

• 1:53:27Speaker 03

  Bad dude, fuck shit. I'm trying to find this guy.

• 1:53:29The Fat Electrician?

  The guy that Dracula's based on.

• 1:53:32Speaker 04

  Oh, wow.

• 1:53:32The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah, it's just like.

• 1:53:35Speaker 04

  That's hilarious.

• 1:53:37Speaker 03

  There was.

• 1:53:38Speaker 04

  Model gun kit.

• 1:53:40Speaker 03

  Three assassins came in and his wife's like, did you hear it? He was staying out in Tokyo or whatever it's called at that Ido. Uh, and he actually used the fucking pistols.

• 1:53:54Speaker 03

  And they're like, what the fuck?

• 1:53:57Speaker 03

  Cause he was like, I have a sword, but it's all closed. Well, I can just shoot people. It's way easier.

• 1:54:06Speaker 03

  I fucking love that shit.

• 1:54:08The Fat Electrician?

  Write it on your tombstone.

• 1:54:10Speaker 03

  I've never run out of history stories, usually like shit like that, but tell like Vlad, Cody, if you wanna savage Vlad.

• 1:54:17The Fat Electrician?

  Literally just like the Ottomans are coming with a massive army to kill us and Vlad, the basically the king or whatever of his area is like, I'll fucking handle it. I know how to handle this. He goes out, kills thirty thousand Ottomans and then impales them in a fucking, basically makes a forest of corpses.

• 1:54:38Speaker 03

  Right in the booty.

• 1:54:38The Fat Electrician?

  Impaled.

• 1:54:39Speaker 03

  Wait, yes. He learned impaling in prison, right? When he was like.

• 1:54:44Speaker 04

  How did he, how did he go about this?

• 1:54:47The Fat Electrician?

  He fucking killed a bunch of people with his army.

• 1:54:50Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 1:54:50The Fat Electrician?

  And then.

• 1:54:51Speaker 04

  How many people were in his army?

• 1:54:53The Fat Electrician?

  They were like vastly outnumbered, but like fuck tactics. They won like this victory and then just took all the corpses and impaled them along the road that the rest of the Ottomans would have to fucking come through. So like you're, you're gonna walk through a forest of all your dead friends. If you wanna come fuck with me again. It's like, damn dude.

• 1:55:11Speaker 03

  That's what that army.

• 1:55:12Donut Operator?

  The psychological warfare is real.

• 1:55:14The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 1:55:15Speaker 03

  That's what happened. And next army, that's why armies were like, yo, we're not invading them. Like fuck, no. Cause one of them like went over that hill and it was just thirty thousand impaled people. Just as far as I could see and you're like, oh, I'm up.

• 1:55:30Donut Operator?

  Yeah, we're good.

• 1:55:31Speaker 03

  We'll go the long way.

• 1:55:32The Fat Electrician?

  How much we didn't pay?

• 1:55:34Speaker 03

  I'll go around. We don't need this. We'll just put an X right here.

• 1:55:38The Fat Electrician?

  Didn't find anything worth value actually in that part of the world.

• 1:55:41Speaker 03

  Bad.

• 1:55:43Donut Operator?

  Some of the people didn't die right away either. That's the fucked up part. If it didn't go completely through or not through your heart, they'd be alive for a couple of days. Just.

• 1:55:50The Fat Electrician?

  Strap some weights to their.

• 1:55:51Speaker 04

  That was probably intentional.

• 1:55:53Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:55:53Donut Operator?

  That's demoralizing.

• 1:55:54Speaker 03

  Yeah. So it was as a teenager Vlad was, uh, held by the Ottoman Empire as a political hostage during that time period. That's how he learned how the Ottoman military culture and the harsh punish shit punishments. So that's how he learned impaling, which is why it was that fucked them up. Cause like, oh shit, he's doing, oh wow, we're assholes. We do this. Seriously. Oh God.

• 1:56:23Speaker 03

  But yeah, and then Dracula, that's, that's the man that came.

• 1:56:28Speaker 04

  Wait, so how did it turn into Dracula?

• 1:56:30The Fat Electrician?

  That's just the inspiration for Dracula.

• 1:56:32Speaker 03

  God, I wanted.

• 1:56:33The Fat Electrician?

  This is one of my favorite quotes ever is.

• 1:56:35Speaker 03

  Photo, just that old art.

• 1:56:38The Fat Electrician?

  Meh.

• 1:56:38Speaker 04

  That's incredible.

• 1:56:39Donut Operator?

  He's just eating a piece of pizza and some beer right there on the table, dude.

• 1:56:43The Fat Electrician?

  Get back to impaling.

• 1:56:46Speaker 03

  His whole face.

• 1:56:47The Fat Electrician?

  Well, I don't.

• 1:56:49Speaker 03

  Not like, I mean, she's like chopping off his body parts.

• 1:56:53The Fat Electrician?

  One of my favorite, I don't even know who said it, but like one of my favorite quotes of all time is what makes you different is what makes you dangerous. There's a thousand kings called the great. There's only one king called the impaler. Like, like that's, that goes hard, actually.

• 1:57:10Speaker 03

  Fucking terrifying. Oh man.

• 1:57:14The Fat Electrician?

  Cody, how you been, buddy? What you been up into?

• 1:57:16Donut Operator?

  Super duper, not much, man.

• 1:57:18The Fat Electrician?

  I like your new merch.

• 1:57:19Donut Operator?

  Oh, thank you so much. Crime is fun. I've been doing a lot of that. We're going to two episodes a week. So.

• 1:57:24Speaker 04

  A lot of the crime or?

• 1:57:25Donut Operator?

  Yeah, man. I do like crime history, kinda like how he does military history, you know? And then, uh.

• 1:57:31Speaker 04

  He said, it came out different. He was like, crime is fun. I've been doing a lot of it.

• 1:57:35The Fat Electrician?

  I mean, I bet it is.

• 1:57:35Donut Operator?

  Well, yeah, like, so my main channel, I do body camera footage. So when I run out of footage, I go out and find homeless people and I give them LSD. Yeah. And I'm like, I'm like the cops veins are made of copper. And I give them, I give them a hatchet. It's fucking great footage, dude.

• 1:57:50The Fat Electrician?

  There was some short I saw, I, I don't know if I sent it to you or not, but this dude is just walking around with a wheelbarrow full of handles of like cheap vodka with machetes duct taped to him and just handing it to homeless people around.

• 1:58:02Donut Operator?

  What a patriot, dude.

• 1:58:06Donut Operator?

  He's making so much content for me. It's outstanding.

• 1:58:08The Fat Electrician?

  All the homeless people are, thank you so much, man.

• 1:58:11Speaker 03

  Is that chaotic good or chaotic evil?

• 1:58:15Speaker 03

  You're giving stuff away.

• 1:58:17Speaker 04

  They get, uh, handle and a machete?

• 1:58:20The Fat Electrician?

  A handle. It's literally a handle of vodka with a, like a shitty Walmart machete duct taped to it. He's just walking around handing them to homeless people on the side of the street.

• 1:58:30Donut Operator?

  Pretty great.

• 1:58:32Donut Operator?

  He's, he always leaves before the fighting starts.

• 1:58:37Donut Operator?

  He what? Fucking bullshit. I said, he always leaves before the fighting starts. It's bullshit.

• 1:58:42Donut Operator?

  He needs to monetize that quickly.

• 1:58:44The Fat Electrician?

  Gosh, remember the bum fights back in the day?

• 1:58:46Donut Operator?

  That's what I'm saying, man. Stick around a little bit, you know, add a paywall and then machete fights.

• 1:58:52The Fat Electrician?

  Funniest troll moment of all time when they brought him on Dr. Phil.

• 1:58:55Donut Operator?

  Oh yeah, the bum fights guy. Yeah.

• 1:58:58The Fat Electrician?

  You, you know bum fights?

• 1:58:59Speaker 04

  I, I know bum fights.

• 1:59:00The Fat Electrician?

  They brought the dude that did that on Dr. Phil.

• 1:59:03Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 1:59:03The Fat Electrician?

  To talk about it. And he walks in dressed like Dr. Phil and he even shaved this part of his head bald with a mustache. And Dr. Phil's just like, just get out. He goes, why? He goes, get out. He goes, I do the same thing you do. I bring people in bad circumstances on and I record it to make fun of them. I'm no, you're no better than me.

• 1:59:24Speaker 04

  That's the best.

• 1:59:25The Fat Electrician?

  And like Dr. Phil kicks him off the show. It's insane.

• 1:59:30Speaker 04

  Wait, it got recorded?

• 1:59:32The Fat Electrician?

  Oh yeah.

• 1:59:32Speaker 04

  Televised?

• 1:59:33The Fat Electrician?

  It was like an episode. Yeah. You can pull it up on YouTube today. It's like, it's a top tier troll moment.

• 1:59:40The Fat Electrician?

  What are some of the stories you're working on recently?

• 1:59:42Speaker 04

  What's the latest and greatest?

• 1:59:43Donut Operator?

  We released UFC fights today to coincide with the fight that was last night. Yeah. Well, yeah, the bum fights too, but.

• 1:59:50The Fat Electrician?

  What, like what about them?

• 1:59:51Donut Operator?

  Uh, just UFC guys who have gone to prison.

• 1:59:53The Fat Electrician?

  Oh, that's a good one. That is no shortage.

• 1:59:56Donut Operator?

  Yeah. Um, what's his name?

• 1:59:57Speaker 04

  You could go into jujitsu guys next.

• 1:59:59Donut Operator?

  That's true too. There's a lot of those.

• 2:00:02Speaker 03

  What is one of the, uh, your favorite new ones you've done?

• 2:00:05Donut Operator?

  Uh, we went over, uh, what's his name? The chase the guy in his truck and shot him cause he actually assaulted his daughter.

• 2:00:10The Fat Electrician?

  He just got the guy that just like.

• 2:00:11Donut Operator?

  He just got released in February. Or he got, he got paroled out.

• 2:00:15Speaker 03

  He's the one that's trying to run for mayor?

• 2:00:17Donut Operator?

  No, no, I, I talked about that one too, though. That's coming out next week. I mean, uh, next week is vengeance stories. So yeah, that guy ran for sheriff and he's, he's fucking, he's about to win. He's going to the general in November.

• 2:00:28The Fat Electrician?

  What was the background story with that one?

• 2:00:30Donut Operator?

  Uh, this one, he called a guy, uh, who was trying to fourteen year old daughter. And ended up smoking the dude, shot him like, I think sixteen out of eighteen times he fired at him. And, uh, so he goes, he goes to jail for a little bit and they let him out on technicality, like mishandled evidence or something like that. And he ran for sheriff and he fucking won in the town that he's in. So it's a good story and we need to get him, we need to get him on here.

• 2:00:58Speaker 03

  Oh yeah.

• 2:00:58Donut Operator?

  Yeah. I think, I can't remember where he lives.

• 2:01:01Speaker 04

  That's, yeah.

• 2:01:02Donut Operator?

  He's, it's not, I thought it, it's such a Texas story.

• 2:01:05Speaker 04

  Feel good story.

• 2:01:05Donut Operator?

  Oh dude, it's so good. And, uh, I would love to get him on here and talk to him though. So that'd be cool.

• 2:01:09The Fat Electrician?

  We were talking about it on kinda consensual stuff, just like this. I think, I, I think that juries should be allowed to issue a new verdict. Like you've got guilty, innocent, and I think the third verdict should be kinda fucking based. We're like, we know what he did was wrong, but also I like that shit.

• 2:01:27Speaker 04

  Man, wrong, wrong. Broke some laws, but it was right.

• 2:01:32The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 2:01:32Speaker 04

  It was, what he did was right, but he broke some laws.

• 2:01:35Speaker 03

  There's something. At the end of the day, no tears are shed.

• 2:01:39The Fat Electrician?

  This is, this is, this is the good kinda bad. We'll allow it.

• 2:01:42Speaker 03

  Yeah. Imagine the emotional damage he has to. He killed somebody.

• 2:01:48Donut Operator?

  Yeah, it was, uh, his name's Aaron Spencer. It's out of Arkansas.

• 2:01:51Speaker 03

  That sounds about right.

• 2:01:52Donut Operator?

  Yeah. He just won the GOP nomination over a three term incumbent sheriff. Who, whose office had arrested him on murder charges.

• 2:02:00Speaker 04

  There you go.

• 2:02:02Speaker 04

  The people spoken.

• 2:02:03Donut Operator?

  Yeah.

• 2:02:03Speaker 03

  I wonder what that sheriff's thinking now. I'm saying fuck.

• 2:02:07The Fat Electrician?

  Coming for me now.

• 2:02:09Speaker 03

  Oh man.

• 2:02:13Speaker 03

  So what, uh, what's the?

• 2:02:14Speaker 04

  Wait, that's not, that's different from the UFC guys.

• 2:02:17Donut Operator?

  Yeah, that's different from the UFC. I'm talking about, uh, no, no, that's not the UFC one. That's the one coming out next week. I was just talking about vengeance stuff. Uh, the UFC got, what was his name? Valeskiv?

• 2:02:26Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 2:02:26Donut Operator?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was just about him. That's, that's one of the stories I talked about today.

• 2:02:31The Fat Electrician?

  Also based.

• 2:02:31Donut Operator?

  Yeah. Chase, chase the guy down and was shooting at his truck across like three counties. Yeah.

• 2:02:35Speaker 03

  What, uh, happened? What, is he in jail right now?

• 2:02:38Donut Operator?

  He's got let out February on parole.

• 2:02:40Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 2:02:40Donut Operator?

  Okay. So he's out now.

• 2:02:42Speaker 03

  Good.

• 2:02:42Donut Operator?

  With his family again.

• 2:02:44Speaker 03

  God, that's a hard motherfucker.

• 2:02:47Speaker 04

  What was it? Yeah. What are you thinking?

• 2:02:49The Fat Electrician?

  I'm be honest, imagine the. Balls on that although. Like.

• 2:02:54Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 2:02:55The Fat Electrician?

  World heavyweight champion kid like.

• 2:02:57Speaker 04

  Probably didn't think that far into it.

• 2:02:59The Fat Electrician?

  I.

• 2:03:00Speaker 04

  He's just, yeah, just another. I mean.

• 2:03:05Donut Operator?

  Oh, yeah, it was with Kane. It was his four year old son at a daycare.

• 2:03:08Speaker 04

  Dude.

• 2:03:08Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah, fuck it. I'm going nuclear.

• 2:03:11Donut Operator?

  But what ended up fucking him up too is he probably wouldn't have had such a long sentence, but the dude his kid had his mom and dad or stepmom and stepdad in the car with him. So his parents got caught up in the chase and the shooting and then the stepdad ended up getting shot two or three times.

• 2:03:27Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 2:03:28Donut Operator?

  So it became attempted murder.

• 2:03:29Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 2:03:30Speaker 03

  That was not.

• 2:03:30Donut Operator?

  So it wasn't just the pedo in the car.

• 2:03:32Speaker 04

  Attempted murder was would have been okay.

• 2:03:34Donut Operator?

  Yeah, it probably would have turned out.

• 2:03:36Speaker 03

  So you need patience. He's gonna be alone sometime.

• 2:03:40Donut Operator?

  Yeah, the stepfather was struck by gunfire, so.

• 2:03:42Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 2:03:43Speaker 03

  Damn. Damn.

• 2:03:45Speaker 04

  How long was he in jail?

• 2:03:46Donut Operator?

  He was a couple of years, I think.

• 2:03:48The Fat Electrician?

  God damn, imagine being that guy's stepdad.

• 2:03:51Donut Operator?

  You received a five year sentence.

• 2:03:52The Fat Electrician?

  Shit, your stepkid got you into. What's happening? Oh, the world. One of the greatest heavyweight fighters of all time is chasing us with a gun.

• 2:04:00Speaker 03

  Why?

• 2:04:01The Fat Electrician?

  Great.

• 2:04:02Speaker 03

  Well, I don't know. Why is he so mad at you?

• 2:04:07Speaker 03

  I can't tell you right now. Uh.

• 2:04:10Donut Operator?

  Fuck it. He only did 11 months. Got a five year sentence and did 11 months and purled out in California.

• 2:04:15The Fat Electrician?

  There we go.

• 2:04:15Speaker 04

  I mean, it was on, it's been going on for a while, right?

• 2:04:18Donut Operator?

  Yeah, it's been going on for a minute.

• 2:04:19Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 2:04:19Donut Operator?

  The trial, the trial lasted fucking forever.

• 2:04:22Speaker 03

  Yeah, I didn't know about the other dude getting shot.

• 2:04:24Donut Operator?

  That had nothing to do with it got shot. So that was the big thing in that one.

• 2:04:28Speaker 03

  Dude, what the fuck? Also, what the fuck? This is when I found out from, uh, Demetrius with our mutual guy we both know and it was that, uh, he'd been arrested for CP and we're like, wait, what the fuck? I was like, get the fuck out of here. He's like, yeah, shit, you're not. He, you know, he's in jail right now? This is a mutual, I grew up with great, like, great home, came from everything and then had terabytes of CP. Yeah.

• 2:05:00Speaker 03

  And I didn't know, I was like, oh, yeah, we just knew each other, which also extremely wild that.

• 2:05:05Speaker 04

  Immediately start distancing yourself.

• 2:05:08Speaker 03

  Oh, he was in jail. Demetrius is the one that, yeah, that's like, he was like, have you heard? I was like, about what? And he was like, bruh, bruh.

• 2:05:16Speaker 03

  I was like, get the fuck out of here. I text the friend group that all from that small Indiana town and they're like, like they didn't know. And then they were because they all grew up together. So it's fucking weird seeing that shit, especially when it's a nice home.

• 2:05:32Speaker 03

  Like, ugh.

• 2:05:32Speaker 04

  There's weird people out there. What are some of the other UFC?

• 2:05:37Donut Operator?

  Uh, there's this Russian guy. Uh, he fought, he fought in like one UFC fight and he ended up going crazy and robbing mobile phone stores. Then he went to the crazy house and escaped from prison for beating someone up and he went to the Poland, the Polish border, I think it was Poland, and they tried to arrest him and he started, uh, they found out he had a bunch of Nazi tattoos and he started screaming, I'm not a nationalist, I'm a racist. And so they arrested him again and then he got out and got this group of dudes together that didn't like prostitutes and they would go to brothels and beat the fuck out of people and it was, it's a it's, it's weird. And he spent like two years beating the shit out of people, like pimps and, and people who go to brothels.

• 2:06:18Speaker 04

  Like prostitutes or?

• 2:06:19Donut Operator?

  Yeah, man.

• 2:06:20Speaker 04

  People that went to see prostitutes.

• 2:06:21Donut Operator?

  He didn't like any of them.

• 2:06:22Speaker 04

  Just all bad.

• 2:06:24Donut Operator?

  Yeah, it was bad.

• 2:06:26Speaker 04

  So he's in jail now.

• 2:06:27Donut Operator?

  Yeah, he's in jail now. He might be out now.

• 2:06:30Speaker 04

  Hey, have you looked into, uh, Lee Murray?

• 2:06:34The Fat Electrician?

  Um, why do I know that name?

• 2:06:35Donut Operator?

  What did he do?

• 2:06:35The Fat Electrician?

  What he?

• 2:06:36Speaker 04

  He was, uh, the guy that knocked out Tito Ortiz in a bar fight?

• 2:06:40Donut Operator?

  Yes. Uh, British guy?

• 2:06:42Speaker 04

  Story? Yeah, yeah.

• 2:06:42Donut Operator?

  Yeah, he's in this one. The one that we released today.

• 2:06:45Speaker 04

  Oh, okay.

• 2:06:46Speaker 03

  Okay, I didn't, what's his story?

• 2:06:47Speaker 04

  Okay, I got it. It's, it's, it's actually kind of funny. So he's, uh, well, he was like a gangster criminal.

• 2:06:55Donut Operator?

  Yeah, he ended up, he did a heist.

• 2:06:57Speaker 04

  Yeah, like the biggest heist in history.

• 2:07:01Donut Operator?

  It was like thirty something million dollars.

• 2:07:03Speaker 03

  Holy shit.

• 2:07:04Speaker 04

  He's, he's half Moroccan. They're like, he's half Moroccan, right?

• 2:07:08Donut Operator?

  So he fled, uh, he fled there, yeah.

• 2:07:11Speaker 04

  So then they're having parties. Now they're, they, they get away with the crime. They're in Morocco. Correct me if I'm wrong, I made this. They're having all these parties. The neighbors call the authorities that they're gay.

• 2:07:26Speaker 04

  Which is illegal.

• 2:07:28Donut Operator?

  Yeah, he stole 53 million pounds and made it back to Morocco, which is not extradition.

• 2:07:33Speaker 04

  Yeah, no extradition. And then, yeah, and then, yeah, hey, there's, there's some gay people next door.

• 2:07:45Speaker 04

  Partied a little too hard. And then.

• 2:07:48Speaker 03

  What are they doing? Gay shit?

• 2:07:52Speaker 04

  That's the story, right?

• 2:07:54Donut Operator?

  I, I, I didn't know that part. That's hilarious, though. I looked into it, but I didn't see that these dudes are just being almost next door.

• 2:08:01Speaker 04

  You gotta look into this.

• 2:08:02Donut Operator?

  But, yeah, he went, so, uh, the Moroccan government ended up arresting him in 2010, sentenced him to 10 years.

• 2:08:08Speaker 04

  But then, how do you get caught?

• 2:08:10Donut Operator?

  Uh, I gotta, I gotta find that.

• 2:08:14Donut Operator?

  But, uh, yeah, he ended up, he ended up trying to escape prison and got 25 years. So he's still in fucking jail.

• 2:08:20Speaker 03

  I just picture them like, they're just rolling.

• 2:08:22Speaker 04

  UFC and then he had like visa problems, you know? Um, he was like stabbed, like the guy's story is crazy.

• 2:08:30Donut Operator?

  Yeah, he got, he got stabbed in the heart before his robbery and he lived. They ended up fixing his. He got stabbed in the heart. I don't, I don't fucking know. It's, it's weird.

• 2:08:39Speaker 03

  How the fuck do you live from that?

• 2:08:41Speaker 04

  The, uh,

• 2:08:44Speaker 04

  this is puncture, small puncture.

• 2:08:46Speaker 03

  Oh, that dude.

• 2:08:47Speaker 04

  Wasn't that bad. But he, he famously knocks out Tito Ortiz in a bar fight after, uh, outside, after like a UFC.

• 2:08:57Speaker 03

  No shit.

• 2:08:57Speaker 04

  Yeah, Matt Hughes or somebody, somebody talks about it.

• 2:09:01Speaker 03

  And knocked, I'm gonna have to look. Is there a clip of it or just?

• 2:09:03Speaker 04

  No, no, it's just a story.

• 2:09:05Speaker 03

  I, my favorite thing right now is watching Tito Ortiz.

• 2:09:08Speaker 04

  Speak.

• 2:09:09Speaker 03

  Oh, thank you. You watch that content?

• 2:09:11Speaker 04

  Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's, it's, yeah, it's unbelievable.

• 2:09:15Speaker 03

  You guys know what we're talking about?

• 2:09:19Speaker 04

  The fact that they gave him a microphone. And they're like, you know, you should interview fighters.

• 2:09:28Speaker 03

  Parents should outlive their kids.

• 2:09:31Speaker 03

  It's like, somebody would be like, what, Tito?

• 2:09:36Speaker 04

  You could, you can't even remember the things he says.

• 2:09:39Speaker 03

  No, cause it, I want to outlive my children. It's like the biggest quote on there.

• 2:09:44The Fat Electrician?

  38 seconds. You've done it again against Andrej Lasky in three minutes and 34 seconds. Let me tell you how you're feeling right now. I stay in shape, man. I stay in shape. I eat well, you know, um, I don't drink alcohol that much at all anymore, you know? I mean, not compared to when I was in my twenties.

• 2:10:04The Fat Electrician?

  I take care of myself now. Now it's about my kids, you know, I want to live. I want to outlive my children. Of course. Cannibal motherfucker, the undercard getting a cut of your hair, or is it just, uh, yourself and Chuck?

• 2:10:19The Fat Electrician?

  Well, it is just, uh, me, myself and Chuck. Buddy, on Saturday night, those little blue eyes are gonna be sparkling even more, man. Just wait and watch. Just wait and watch. This is my kingdom. And on Saturday night, I'm gonna roar some jackals like this guy, Chell, the P, Sonnen.

• 2:10:38Speaker 04

  He sounds like Biden.

• 2:10:42The Fat Electrician?

  Feels like he stole your thunder and this is sour grapes from you, like, uh, it, it's personal because

• 2:10:48Speaker 04

  This is a good one.

• 2:10:48The Fat Electrician?

  You're jealous of him. How does hearing that out of his mouth fall on your ears? Jealous of him? This guy can't even put a sentence together, man. Are you kidding me right now? He's, he's reaching for, he's reaching for those grapes. He's trying to make his wine and the wine's already signed in. Like a violin with that cheese and wine, um.

• 2:11:16Speaker 04

  It never, it never stops. It's every single time they put a microphone in front of him.

• 2:11:21Speaker 03

  And the best is Chuck Liddell, anytime they're on screen together when Tito's talking, just watch Chuck's face. Chuck's like.

• 2:11:29Speaker 04

  He's like, yeah, he's actually trying to understand him.

• 2:11:34Speaker 03

  Only took one or two shots to the face.

• 2:11:36The Fat Electrician?

  I still think, I, I know.

• 2:11:38Speaker 04

  It's probably Chuck's fault. That's why he's like.

• 2:11:41Donut Operator?

  Yeah. That's why Brandon isn't with us right now. He said Chuck called him at 2 AM the other night. He's like, come, come to the fight with me. It's like, okay. I guess.

• 2:11:52The Fat Electrician?

  I'll get on a plane, Chuck. Oh, okay. Do you know the, the Pat Milicich story?

• 2:11:59Donut Operator?

  I don't know.

• 2:11:59The Fat Electrician?

  You know, you know, Pat Milicich?

• 2:12:00Donut Operator?

  Yeah, I know he is.

• 2:12:01The Fat Electrician?

  It's like OG, like one of the first, I think it was like the first MMA jam down in Davenport, Iowa or whatever. He's got this crazy story about how he had like, I don't know if he had a fight or if he was coaching fighters, but they'd won this fight and it was like in Davenport when he was trying to do like you MMA leagues where it was like you had a team and you had a lightweight, a welterweight, a middleweight, uh, light heavyweight and a heavyweight. And it was like this team versus this team.

• 2:12:26Speaker 04

  Yeah, a duel.

• 2:12:27The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah, basically.

• 2:12:29Speaker 04

  But wasn't that called something like IFL or?

• 2:12:31The Fat Electrician?

  It was, I think it was IFL. Yeah. So he were doing, he was doing that and it was in the Quad Cities, Davenport. So he's like a legend. Everybody knows who he is at this point in time. And they go out to the club after the fights and some dude wants to go outside with Pat Milicich. And Pat Milicich is like, he's a big dude, but he's an unassuming guy, relatively speaking. And Pat's like, uh, fucking sure, dude. And he goes outside with this guy and the other guy then proceeds to tell him, do you know who I am? And Pat Milicich is like, uh, no. And he goes, I'm Pat Milicich.

• 2:13:04Speaker 04

  Oh, that's the best.

• 2:13:05The Fat Electrician?

  And Pat pulls out his driver's license and hands it to him. And the guy looks at it and fucking frisbees at One Direction and runs the other direction.

• 2:13:17Speaker 03

  I have been caught. Damn it.

• 2:13:20The Fat Electrician?

  This is the best.

• 2:13:21Speaker 04

  The odds of that.

• 2:13:23The Fat Electrician?

  Best compliment you could possibly receive.

• 2:13:26Speaker 03

  Do you know who I am?

• 2:13:28The Fat Electrician?

  Oh, shit.

• 2:13:32The Fat Electrician?

  I hope he chases that and not me.

• 2:13:36Speaker 03

  Dude, uh, well, we can move on to the after show if you boys are ready.
