  Demolition Ranch could have been over before it ever started if that truck would have broke down on the way.

• 0:34Speaker 02

  This is sucking Matt's podcast now. Four guys off demo.

• 0:38The Fat Electrician?

  We're all gonna get canceled and Matt's gonna have to come out of retirement like Fat Thor and save all of us.

• 0:43Speaker 01

  To the New York Times, the Demolition is a cult.

• 0:45The Fat Electrician?

  That's a note he's going to go out on.

• 0:47Speaker 04

  Yeah!

• 0:50Speaker 04

  Say hi to Eli. He's racially ambiguous and random. His hair is fucking fabulous and donut. A dark oak disposition and there's a fat electrician. Welcome to Unsubscribe.

• 1:09Speaker 05

  Hey, everyone, we just wanted to say a giant, giant thank you for 200 episodes.

• 1:15Speaker 01

  I know I haven't been there for all 200 episodes, but I'm genuinely privileged to have been here as long as I have. And frankly, I'm only here to just make sure that Eli doesn't cry this time.

• 1:25Speaker 01

  Don't do it.

• 1:28Speaker 05

Thank you for everything you guys have provided for us and we are so humbled and appreciative of it.

  When my best friends started this podcast out of Cody's Kitchen, I never would have imagined it would have gotten here. And I'm just, like I said, privileged to be a part of it and I'm so fucking thankful for all of you and I'm looking forward to where it goes in the future.

• 2:06Speaker 05

  Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. Keep doing amazing things. Enjoy this episode. It was a blast to have Matt on for one more time.

• 2:14Speaker 01

  It's sad to know that we're gonna shoot him after this is done.

• 2:16Speaker 05

  It's the hard part. It's why we're sad.

• 2:18Speaker 01

  It's like putting down the family dog, but you know what? Somebody's gonna do it.

• 2:24Speaker 06

  Thank you guys so much. Enjoy the episode.

• 2:27Speaker 05

  Wait, you just popped yours?

• 2:28The Fat Electrician?

  I got another one. I'm gonna drink them all, it's fine.

• 2:31Speaker 06

  That's very true. Okay, ready? Oh, we'll pop it first, I guess.

• 2:34Speaker 05

  Three, two, one.

• 2:38The Fat Electrician?

  Demo's last day, I'm going hard as fuck.

• 3:06Speaker 05

  Wait, Saturdays?

• 3:07Speaker 07

  Yes. Then this one's gonna be next week for 200.

• 3:10Speaker 02

  This is 200?

• 3:11Speaker 06

  Thanks, guys.

• 3:11Speaker 05

  I mean, we gotta decide, do we wanna push this 199 or 200?

• 3:14Speaker 02

  200.

• 3:15Speaker 06

  This is 200?

• 3:15Speaker 02

  Fuck it.

• 3:17Speaker 06

  This feels like 200 energy right now.

• 3:19Speaker 02

  Oh, I fucking like it.

• 3:20Speaker 05

  And you're gonna get drunk. You're already drunk.

• 3:22Speaker 06

  I'm already drunk, I sip this.

• 3:25Speaker 02

  No, we're just really happy to have Demolition Ranch here today because as you all know, he just announced his departure from YouTube.

• 3:31Speaker 06

  Yeah, and this is, that means this is for sure my last Unsubscribe Podcast ever.

• 3:36Speaker 05

  We'll see.

• 3:36Speaker 06

  That you, you know what.

• 3:38Speaker 02

  Allegedly.

• 3:38Speaker 06

  Definitely the last.

• 3:39Speaker 05

  It might be the last one you agree to.

• 3:41The Fat Electrician?

  It's the last one he remembers.

• 3:43Speaker 06

  I get drugged, I'm just like... I'll just put my arms around.

• 3:46The Fat Electrician?

  We hit Bernie. Demolition Ranch.

• 3:49Speaker 06

  We're in a puppeteer, man.

• 3:51Speaker 02

  I'm just so glad to feel, yeah.

• 3:53The Fat Electrician?

  I retired from YouTube, but I like killing kittens.

• 3:58The Fat Electrician?

  It's like, leave his mouth, bro.

• 4:01Speaker 02

  Dude, this is a, this is a sad one for me.

• 4:05Speaker 05

  I know, you got, I think for everyone.

• 4:06Speaker 02

  Afraid, yeah, I mean, I mean for everyone because you've helped all of us so much, man, with your platform.

• 4:13Speaker 06

  And we good.

• 4:13Speaker 02

  We absolutely love you for everything you've done for our community.

• 4:17Speaker 06

  That's awesome to hear, and I've had a lot of people reaching out with, you know, similar sentiments, and it's, it's weird, it's, it is like something we just kinda decided to do recently, and it's very scary and sad and...

• 4:33Speaker 06

  Weird, but like overall, I'm, I'm, I'm pretty excited about it. I'm pretty excited about moving to the next phase and not being worried about the next video anymore and that kind of thing.

• 4:43Speaker 01

  Numbers.

• 4:44Speaker 06

  Yeah, numbers, I'm just not gonna care.

• 4:45Speaker 01

  And the way you, the way you said it, where you're like, man, I just really want to figure out who I am without YouTube.

• 4:49Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 4:50Speaker 01

  That, that, I think that kind of hit all of us a little hard where it's like, fuck, man, I don't, yeah, I don't even know.

• 4:54Speaker 06

  It's weird because yeah, YouTube was me for like 15 years, like.

• 5:01Speaker 01

  Almost.

• 5:02The Fat Electrician?

  So you're like, are you gonna get into history or smoking meat? Those are your two options.

• 5:06Speaker 06

  I, I just actually started smoking meat, so it's probably gonna be that.

• 5:08The Fat Electrician?

  Damn it.

• 5:09Speaker 06

  I'm gonna get in that phase. Smoking some meats. Yeah, I know, I, I don't know.

• 5:14The Fat Electrician?

  Damn it, it's true.

• 5:16Speaker 06

  I, I met a guy this morning, he just wanted to have coffee and like sit down. He's a guy that retired. Um, he said three years ago, he like, he retired, so he saw my video and he was like, it's kind of a, a guy, an acquaintance I know. And he sent me a text and he's like, man, I'm proud of you. And, uh, you know, if you want, I'd love to go sit with you and have coffee. So I went and had coffee with him and, and, uh, he was kind of asking what my plan was. And I was like, I don't have a plan. Like, I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna kind of sit around and see what happens. He was like, that's perfect. He's like, that's what you need to do. A plan will come to you. Uh, you know, stuff to do will come to you. Work will come to you. And you'll figure it out. Don't try to figure it out before it happens.

• 5:47The Fat Electrician?

  Oh my God, we're all gonna get canceled and Matt's gonna have to come out of retirement like fat Thor and save all of us. It's gonna be awesome.

• 5:55Speaker 06

  Yeah, that's true. I'm gonna retire for a while until you guys need me again.

• 6:01Speaker 05

  His video is like. I don't negotiate with them at all.

• 6:09Speaker 06

  Yeah, whenever y'all are down, I'm just gonna come out of retirement to kick you.

• 6:15Speaker 01

  He comes out of retirement on the side of YouTube.

• 6:22Speaker 06

  Now that, now that they all got canceled, I'm back, bitch, it is. Let's go.

• 6:27Speaker 01

  Nah, seriously dude, like, uh, a lot of us took a, like, just, we looked up to you. We don't anymore.

• 6:35Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 6:39Speaker 06

  Fuck you.

• 6:41Speaker 02

  Yeah, Fat Thor. A lot of our career was just looking up to you and and just looking at what you did and just going off the basis of what you were doing in your videos.

• 6:50Speaker 06

  Yeah. I mean, I did that to a bunch of other channels, too. Like, I I had so many idols on YouTube because I I love YouTube. I think it's so cool. I loved I loved the whole process of like growing the channel. And there were so many channels that I like aspired to be like. And so I kind of modeled little parts of my videos like them. And and so, yeah, it's it's cool that I think I've done that for a lot of people, too, like, you know.

• 7:10Speaker 01

  Because we all had like the FPS Rushes and stuff like that when we first started.

• 7:13Speaker 06

  Yep.

• 7:14Speaker 01

  And I mean, it's crazy. I think we talked about it on the podcast the other day, but just like the fact that FPS Russia at one point was like a top seven or eight YouTube channel on YouTube, period.

• 7:23Speaker 06

  Yep.

• 7:24Speaker 01

  It's like, man, the closest thing we have to that now is you.

• 7:28Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 7:28Speaker 01

  And it's it's it's it's it's a cool end of a chapter, though. I'm I'm proud of you, man.

• 7:32Speaker 06

  Thanks.

• 7:33Speaker 01

  It's awesome.

• 7:33Speaker 06

  Thanks. I appreciate it.

• 7:34Speaker 02

  Yeah, for your for your vlog channel specifically, you had like Atwood. That's someone you looked up to.

• 7:38Speaker 01

  Yeah, for sure. Yeah, he was one for sure.

• 7:40Speaker 02

  Yeah, that's awesome. And I looked up to you for my vlog channel.

• 7:43Speaker 01

  Yep.

• 7:44Speaker 02

  And you helped me out so much, man. Sorry, I'm just this is sucking Matt's dick podcast now.

• 7:49Speaker 05

  I like we got the title.

• 7:52Speaker 05

  Four guys suck off demo.

• 7:55Speaker 06

  We'll get some views.

• 7:55Speaker 01

  We get the couch photo.

• 7:57Speaker 05

  Yeah. But it's all of us. Tim standing behind us.

• 8:06Speaker 05

  We couldn't do it.

• 8:07Speaker 01

  It's just a shadow of a dick and it's just like the the Willem Dafoe.

• 8:16Speaker 05

  What was that? What was one of the determining factors? Like, 2024, did you have a feeling, hey, leading up to this, I I'm probably going to retire next year?

• 8:25Speaker 06

  No, not not really. We had we kind of figured it'd be eventually. You know, there's there's like. I don't know. It's like I accomplished all the goals that I'd ever wanted to accomplish and then kept going for five years after that, you know, it was like, so it's just kind of like, why am I still doing this? But really recently, it's kind of hit us that like our kids are all getting very old. And I'm realizing they're gonna leave soon. And I'm just like, this is weird. And I like, we have made all the money I need to make from YouTube. Like, it's like, we don't need more money. We don't need more-

• 8:55Speaker 01

  Hundreds of dollars.

• 8:56Speaker 06

  I've made hundreds. My bank account has hundreds of dollars.

• 8:58Speaker 01

  Hundreds of dollars.

• 8:59Speaker 06

  I don't need more fame, you know, so I was just like, I'm just kind of like, take a break. And I'm not saying it's impossible that I won't come back in a two, three, four years.

• 9:08Speaker 01

  In a podcast, let's say with your friends, maybe?

• 9:10Speaker 06

  It could happen. It's possible. Right now, I think it's not. I think I'm like, maybe done forever. But I just decided, yeah, I'm just gonna cold turkey quit in a couple of months, like wind everything down and then just stop. Which actually is weird that we said a couple of months and then it like, we looked at it and like, oh, that ends right on April 1st. No one's ever gonna believe us that we're actually quitting.

• 9:30Speaker 01

  That's really funny.

• 9:31Speaker 06

  I was like, we said that at the end of, yeah, this month. Really? Yeah, two months. It's like, shit, that's April 1st.

• 9:37Speaker 05

  We just had a business convo about anything happening on April 1st.

• 9:41Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 9:41Speaker 05

  It's the worst.

• 9:43Speaker 06

  I'm gonna make my last video on April 1st.

• 9:45Speaker 01

  It's actually really good.

• 9:46Speaker 06

  They're gonna be like, wait a minute.

• 9:48Speaker 01

  Or reverse psychology it. Drop a video on April 1st saying, I'm still doing YouTube.

• 9:54Speaker 06

  That's what I said.

• 9:54Speaker 01

  And then never upload again.

• 9:57Speaker 06

  I changed my mind, guys.

• 9:59Speaker 01

  I'm back, baby.

• 9:59Speaker 06

  We'll be back tomorrow. We're gonna take a one week break. We'll be back, you know, and then just never come back. And people are like, I don't understand what's happening.

• 10:08Speaker 01

  The meme of the kid waiting next to the door to like, waiting to prank my dad when he comes home. Day 379.

• 10:16The Fat Electrician?

  That's how it ends. Guys, I'll be right back. I gotta go get some milk. I'll never return.

• 10:21Speaker 02

  That's pretty good.

• 10:23Speaker 06

  Just gonna go down to the gas station, get some scratchers. I'll be back in five.

• 10:26The Fat Electrician?

  My guns.

• 10:26Speaker 05

  That's how it should end.

• 10:28The Fat Electrician?

  My gun tube dad never showed back up.

• 10:30Speaker 06

  He went to get some cigs.

• 10:32Speaker 05

  So it just it. What was the, was there any determining factor or was it just waking up one day and be like, yo, I just wanna, you know what? I'm tired.

• 10:43Speaker 06

  Yeah, I mean, it's, it's been, I would say it's been a couple of years where I've like been slowing down, you know, and being like, I'm not as driven to do this anymore as I used to be. But yeah, as far as announcing it, um, no, it really was just like all of a sudden, just kind of a, a realization that I don't really know why I'm here anymore, you know? And it's still fun.

• 11:04Speaker 01

  I think they call that depression.

• 11:05Speaker 06

  Yeah, I think I might be it too. Not in life in general.

• 11:10Speaker 06

  It's still like fun for me, but I'm just not driven to, to do it anymore. And I, I wanna find, I, I like being driven, you know, and I wanna find what drives me now.

• 11:20Speaker 05

  You wanna be hungry.

• 11:20Speaker 06

  But I think, yeah, but I think I have to stop doing this completely to figure out what drives me now. And so it's like, it's that, it's my family, it's just wanting to also just be normal, you know, not be a social media person anymore, to not worry about what's happening on Instagram or Twitter or any of those things. I wanna just like step away and just like, and, and maybe just detox from it for a while and maybe I'll come back in two years and be like, oh, I feel refreshed, you know, but.

• 11:44Speaker 05

  Fuck, no you won't.

• 11:45Speaker 06

  I'll probably be done.

• 11:47Speaker 05

  That is a hellscape. I never want to go back.

• 11:49Speaker 06

  Like I, I think I just wanna be a normal guy. Yeah, it's weird. Cause it's also really fun to not be normal. It's fun for companies to like, send you places and you get to go do cool things and that's so cool. It's cool to go to shot show when like companies like pay your way and you get to go to a cool hotel and do all that kind of stuff, but yeah, like you have been to shot show a ton. I don't wanna go anymore.

• 12:08Speaker 05

  It's exhausting.

• 12:09The Fat Electrician?

  I'll treat you like shit for free. That's what you're looking for.

• 12:14Speaker 06

  Like the first, the first four years. What a friend.

• 12:19Speaker 06

  That is a service I can provide.

• 12:23Speaker 01

  I feel like you've done that before, though, like where you've kind of gotten to like into the car stuff. Where you're like, all right, you know, I'm still doing the gun, but like, I want to find something else. Cause you really do, like, people don't understand, like, we are so jaded to guns now.

• 12:36Speaker 06

  Yeah, well, and I've been half assing Demolish Ranch for five years, you know, like, I feel like.

• 12:42Speaker 01

  Sponsors love that.

• 12:44Speaker 06

  Like, we still do it because it's still, there's an aspect that's really fun, of course. And I do still like guns, I still like getting them, but it was hard to think of videos every single week. And so like, my crew, you know, you started hiring people to help me and like, I felt weird, like I wasn't devoting everything to a whole video, you know, and so it was kind of weird, like, I feel like that's sort of half assing it. Even though I still had, you know, people helping it, the videos were better with people helping too, but it wasn't all me anymore. So I feel like that's kind of been me sort of slipping out of Demolish Ranch for a while, where you still get a video, but you know, it's not just me alone in the woods grinding out this video, me alone in the woods grinding.

• 13:22Speaker 01

  There's a certain magic that is lost after a while, that you just can't really get back.

• 13:26Speaker 06

  It's been going down for me for a while, where I'm just like, yeah, I just don't, I'm not obsessed with it anymore like I was.

• 13:33Speaker 01

  Your heart's not in it anymore.

• 13:34Speaker 06

  Years ago, yeah, but I don't know.

• 13:37Speaker 01

  Maybe you'll get, I don't know, because I, I've, I totally understand where you're coming from and like, it's awesome for you to just take a step back and you're like, I don't need this and I want to watch my kids grow up.

• 13:47Speaker 06

  Yep.

• 13:47Speaker 01

  That's fucking, I think that's commendable, but I also know how guys like us are wired and I'm wondering if you're going to get bored.

• 13:54Speaker 06

  I am worried about that and my wife is worried about that. She's like, what are you gonna do? Like, you're, you're gonna need that, you know, release, you need that creative outlet and.

• 14:04The Fat Electrician?

  Been working 18 hours a day for 15 years, you think you're just gonna shut it off for an extended period of time?

• 14:09Speaker 06

  Learn how to knit or something, I don't know.

• 14:12Speaker 01

  Demolition knitting.

• 14:14Speaker 02

  Can I just shit on people real quick?

• 14:16Speaker 01

  Sure.

• 14:17Speaker 02

  On your behalf.

• 14:18Speaker 01

  Sure.

• 14:19Speaker 02

  People who say he doesn't add to the second amendment community, you're retarded. You're absolutely retarded. He made guns fun for everyone.

• 14:30Speaker 01

  Get him Cody.

• 14:30Speaker 02

  The second amendment fun. And so say he's never contributed to the 2A community. You're retarded. You're a dumb piece of shit.

• 14:39The Fat Electrician?

  It's not only that. It's like, he made it approachable to a degree that like, no offense Brandon, but none of the rest of us do it. I mean, look at how I appear and like you with like the jokes you make and everything else is like, oh, this dude's legitimately just like a good family man dad.

• 14:55Speaker 06

  Well, I talked to Cole Young about that because he's obviously very political about his 2A stuff. Like his videos are all political and we were talking about the difference in what we both do. And it is something like, I'm also not a super political person. Like I don't want to.

• 15:10Speaker 01

  So we have Brandon for it.

• 15:11Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 15:11Speaker 01

  I mean, I look at it like combined arms.

• 15:13Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 15:14Speaker 01

  Where it's like, all right, there's air support, there's artillery, there's infantrymen. It's like, well, he sucks hand to hand. Well, that's cool. I still need him to fucking.

• 15:20Speaker 06

  Well.

• 15:20Speaker 01

  Call down a fire on that.

• 15:24Speaker 06

  Even if you're one of those guys who is like demolition ranch should have done more, you know, I think that's where those, and it's, it's I think a loud minority of people that think that I'm anti 2A because I didn't do more, but.

• 15:36Speaker 02

  Aren't they the loudest?

• 15:38Speaker 06

  Even if you're, yeah, even if you're the guy who says.

• 15:39Speaker 01

  It was a soft pitch. I knew somebody was gonna take it.

• 15:43Speaker 06

  I didn't even hear that. Even if you are one of the guys.

• 15:47Speaker 02

  Demo Ranch's take on movie theaters.

• 15:49Speaker 06

  Cancel me. I don't care. Uh, if you think I should have done more, like I just don't know how you couldn't step back and be like, well, it wasn't a net negative, you know, it was still a net positive. You're still making gun content. You're still making it easy access for someone who doesn't know anything about guns to not feel like, well, this guy's super political and all pro gun and he's scary. I'm just like, I'm gonna go out and shoot these things and it's gonna be funny. We talked about it on the PSR podcast where I'm like, man, you need the demo ranches, the John Wicks, the Call of Duties, like that's the very beginning of the funnel. Cause like, if you just hammer fist people with the constitution, it's like, are you correct? Yes, but. Like you need to get people like warm them up, a little bit of foreplay before you just slap them.

• 16:32Speaker 02

  You're saying to most of the foreplay?

• 16:33Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 16:35The Fat Electrician?

  It's also being like the infrastructure with how big you were, like the things that other people were able to accomplish. Cause you enabled them to like, last range day, you probably don't even know this, but there was like, some pretty big people from YouTube that showed up and I was like escorting them around range day and like within 20 minutes, they'd never shot a gun in their life and they had shot in pistols, rifles, machine guns. And one of them was like, I feel really safe. This is not what I was expecting at all. When I came here, everybody is so nice. And like, everybody's being very professional and like safe with all these guns.

• 17:09Speaker 06

  I'll be so pissed if as soon as I leave YouTube, it gets really easy for gun tubers. You can just come back.

• 17:16Speaker 05

  $200 CPAs, everything plugs in. I'm out of retirement.

• 17:23Speaker 02

  Well, I was talking to the people that you're talking about. I was talking to them too. And I'm like, you thought we were just a bunch of dumb fucking rednecks. Who like go out and just like bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Fun.

• 17:34Speaker 06

  Which fair, half true. And we're smart rednecks that go bang, bang, bang, bang.

• 17:38Speaker 05

  We go bang, bang, bang, bang. This is dangerous.

• 17:41Speaker 02

  But they were like, you guys are so safe and like, this was the best time we ever had. It's like, yeah, yeah, that's what we do. And you paved the way for that. And like, can't appreciate you enough, buddy.

• 17:53Speaker 06

  I helped pave the way. Plenty of people helped pave the way there. It wasn't true, but.

• 17:56The Fat Electrician?

  Didn't feel that way when I was standing on your range.

• 17:59Speaker 06

  Yeah, those are scary.

• 18:01Speaker 05

  Hey Brandon, you ever wake up in your bed feeling like you just fought in a war?

• 18:08Speaker 06

  Yeah. What do you ask?

• 18:09Speaker 05

  You ever wake up and feel like you slept in a sauna?

• 18:12Speaker 06

  Yeah, I believe that's called night sweats.

• 18:13Speaker 05

  Me, you got a trash mattress, Brandon.

• 18:16Speaker 06

  Why are we talking like Macho Man Randy Savage?

• 18:19Speaker 05

  Cause today we're talking about our premier sponsorship, Ghost Man.

• 18:25Speaker 05

  Ghostbed mattresses are built with cooling technology. So you're not sweating through your sheets like some street bum. You stay cool, comfortable, most importantly, you sleep through your night. I got you for three minutes, but I got Ghostbed all night. You know what's longer than three minutes, Brandon? Any sexual experience I've ever had. Ghostbed's 20 to 25 year warranty. And you've got a 101 night free trial to test it out. Oh, yeah. And you know what, brother? They don't just sell mattresses.

• 19:07Speaker 05

• 19:30Speaker 01

  That's ghostbed.com/ unsubscribe.

• 19:32Speaker 05

  Use code unsubscribe. I'll show up under your bed and make ghost noises until you do. Go now. I just want to reiterate, none of this was in the script.

• 19:47Speaker 05

  I don't know. We started talking like Brandon said. But is it you? You have, everyone here has a story with you, like your first.

• 19:56Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 19:57Speaker 05

  The AR, and even then it was like, you had me on the AR video to go against him.

• 20:02Speaker 01

  ARs versus AK guys.

• 20:04Speaker 05

  And that's how that circle started.

• 20:06Speaker 06

  Did you say AR gays?

• 20:09Speaker 01

  It was, it was a bit of a.

• 20:11Speaker 06

  AR gays versus AK guys.

• 20:15Speaker 01

  Proying slip. I remember, uh, yeah, a bunch of people hitting me up, uh, saying like, dude, Demo Ranch just stole your video.

• 20:22Speaker 06

  It's because I stole his video.

• 20:24Speaker 01

  I had to complete opposite take. I was like. Fucking just starting out on YouTube, I maybe had like, I don't know, 30,000, 40,000 subs. And I was like, fucking Demolition Ranch just stole my video. That's so cool. Cause like he mentioned me at the end of it.

• 20:37Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 20:37Speaker 01

  Everything. I'm like, that's fucking neat.

• 20:38Speaker 06

  I gave him credit and then I invited him out to make a video. So I felt like that was a good trade.

• 20:43Speaker 01

  I think we talked about that on the podcast that we just filmed yesterday. It was, it was, it was kind of fun just to see the, the early days of bunker and like just everything as you were still like kind of kicking off a lot of the infrastructure that you've managed to build over the last, what, five, six years?

• 20:55Speaker 06

  Yeah, it's been crazy. Yeah, the last six years have been a big change.

• 20:58The Fat Electrician?

  I think Matt accidentally hooked me up the first time I was on Demolition Ranch. I don't know if he did it on purpose or not.

• 21:03Speaker 06

  Hooked you up?

• 21:04The Fat Electrician?

  It was, it was me and you and Admin all competing to win your L M.

• 21:08Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah.

• 21:09The Fat Electrician?

  And like, I've never gotten a free gun before in my entire life. And he's like, alright, here's the challenges. We gotta try to shoot guns while we're getting shocked. I'm like, fuck, I got this.

• 21:20Speaker 01

  I had an electron, man.

• 21:21The Fat Electrician?

  I've been shocked plenty. I was completely unfazed. I was like, there's no way I'm beating administrative results in shooting. It's not gonna happen. Like, I'm alright, but this is his job. And then he's like, we're getting shocked while we do it. And I was like, oh, fuck, I might win this.

• 21:37Speaker 06

  And you did. And man, Admin wanted that gun so bad. You didn't, you didn't seem to care.

• 21:43Speaker 01

  What gun was it?

• 21:44Speaker 06

  It was just an L M T. It was a 308.

• 21:45The Fat Electrician?

  It was just a 308 L M T with a badass scope on it.

• 21:50Speaker 06

  But.

• 21:50The Fat Electrician?

  I was like, I want this really bad.

• 21:52Speaker 06

  It's so bad. And he was like, actually kind of pissed at the end of the episode.

• 21:59The Fat Electrician?

  And then we got to do jujitsu together.

• 22:00Speaker 06

  For three seconds.

• 22:05Speaker 06

  I was like, what did you just put me in?

• 22:08Speaker 01

  That's, that's gonna be your title on a business card if we ever do those. Just like, uh, the fat electrician, head pretzel maker.

• 22:14Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 22:15The Fat Electrician?

  My, my, like, my, if you could, if I could snip any three seconds from my entire YouTube career, it was when I went like this and me and Matt shook hands before the match and, okay, go. And Matt goes, you're not even scared.

• 22:30Speaker 02

  Means he's done it once or twice.

• 22:32Speaker 06

  He was like, I'm a purple belt. And I was like, cool. I'm not any belt.

• 22:36Speaker 05

  I don't even know what that means.

• 22:38Speaker 01

  I would have been terrified at the slow hat reverse.

• 22:40Speaker 06

  What did we tie? You and I tied? And so the, it was like,

• 22:43Speaker 05

  Yeah, we had a tiebreaker.

• 22:44Speaker 06

  Whoever can win in wrestling would win. And you're like, I'm a purple belt. I was like, well, let's fucking go. I guess you're gonna win.

• 22:51Speaker 02

  The first time I came out, we shot each other with a,

• 22:53Speaker 05

  Dude, that,

• 22:54Speaker 02

  With less than lethal weapons.

• 22:55Speaker 06

  That was a good video.

• 22:56Speaker 02

  What year was that? Jeez, I don't know. Was it 2018, 19?

• 23:00Speaker 06

  We both looked like babies. So maybe, yeah.

• 23:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 23:03Speaker 05

  You just came down to Texas where we just moved there.

• 23:06Speaker 06

  He hadn't moved yet.

• 23:07Speaker 02

  I hadn't moved yet. He, he hit me up and he was like, hey, dude, you want to come shoot less than lethal weapons at each other? I said, fuck yeah, dude. Diggle's Ranch wants me to do that? Hell yeah, I'm coming.

• 23:17Speaker 01

  What was the one thing you didn't want to do again? You're like, I, I will not be pepper sprayed, I think was your thing.

• 23:21Speaker 02

  Yeah, that was one of the things with the, the bolo, the bolo was the,

• 23:24Speaker 06

  Bola wrap.

• 23:25Speaker 02

  That was the worst. You shot me with the bolo wrap.

• 23:28Speaker 06

  It had these little like fish hooks that would like fly around you and wrap you up and then hook into your skin. And it was, the, the company was like, yeah, y'all can shoot each other with this, but don't be running while you do it. And we were like, oh, that would have been so cool. Like shoot them and it wraps your legs up and knocks them over. But it's because if you're doing that, it would just rip your skin open.

• 23:44Speaker 02

  Yeah, because it was a, it was a 38, uh, blank 38 that projected it, right?

• 23:49Speaker 06

  I don't remember. Was it?

• 23:50Speaker 02

  Yeah, it was like a,

• 23:51Speaker 05

  Normal bolos just have balls at the end of town.

• 23:54Speaker 02

  So this is, dude, this is like, in the wire cord. Yeah.

• 23:57Speaker 06

  Kevlar line.

• 23:58Speaker 02

  Kevlar line.

• 23:59Speaker 05

  Out of a drawer.

• 24:00Speaker 02

  With fish hooks on the end of it. It looks like,

• 24:02Speaker 05

  That sounds as demo ranch as it gets.

• 24:04Speaker 02

  It kind of looks, it looks like a cell phone almost.

• 24:07Speaker 06

  It's, it was like made for cops. And so it's like, it's a less than lethal and you just shoot it and it'll wrap up arms or legs or whatever, but it just goes,

• 24:17Speaker 06

  and like hooks on you.

• 24:17Speaker 02

  And then fish hooks go in your skin.

• 24:19Speaker 01

  That's gotta be horrible when you hit him in the neck and it just,

• 24:22Speaker 06

  It's a tourniquet.

• 24:25Speaker 06

  And it's like, yeah, you can't get them like they they hook in your skin like fish hooks. They're in you. And I mean, we had to like pull them out of our skin.

• 24:32Speaker 02

  You had to take pliers and get them out of my skin.

• 24:34The Fat Electrician?

  Hard to cut.

• 24:35Speaker 06

  And it's Kevlar line and it's crazy.

• 24:37Speaker 02

  Yeah, that was gnarly.

• 24:38Speaker 06

  They were cool.

• 24:39Speaker 02

  With the taser guys there too.

• 24:41Speaker 06

  Yeah. And the water cannon.

• 24:42Speaker 02

  Yeah. Oh, the water cannon was gnarly.

• 24:45The Fat Electrician?

  There was nothing funner than having a friend's like, yeah, I have these houses that are full of mold and we have to rip them down. I was like, can we, can we do the meme?

• 24:53Speaker 06

  Shoot them?

• 24:54The Fat Electrician?

  Can we do the meme for when the big gun is for when the enemy's hiding behind my enemy's refrigerator? And then we went out and did that fucking video.

• 25:01Speaker 06

  Shot a house?

• 25:02The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 25:03Speaker 02

  And it actually went through all of them. Surprisingly, a lot of lower calibers.

• 25:08The Fat Electrician?

  Like nine millimeter was enough to go through one exterior wall of fridge and penetrate a human. So then everything else is just like, I mean, well.

• 25:16Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 25:18Speaker 02

  Of that video that you guys did together?

• 25:20The Fat Electrician?

  The, the, you know, the meme, like the desert eagle for when the burglar is hiding behind your neighbor's refrigerator?

• 25:25Speaker 06

  Yeah, it says 50 cal for when the burglar's hiding behind the fridge in your neighbor's house. And it like, supposed to be like, it goes through everything, which.

• 25:33The Fat Electrician?

  Surprisingly, nine mil does that actually.

• 25:36Speaker 02

  Full metal jacket?

• 25:37Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 25:37The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 25:38Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:38Speaker 06

  People don't realize walls are not thick.

• 25:41Speaker 02

  Full metal jacket.

• 25:42The Fat Electrician?

  I read through the comments on that video, all the Europeans just shitting on American construction methods.

• 25:47Speaker 06

  Cause they're not made out of.

• 25:48The Fat Electrician?

  While they're sweating and 27 people die every time you guys have a heat wave because you can't install air conditioners. Morons.

• 25:55Speaker 06

  Side eye to show. That was fucking aggressive. Jesus Christ. I watched that happen like, Jamie, pull that shit back.

• 26:05The Fat Electrician?

  We just get done shooting through this house with seven different calibers of guns. And I was like, yeah. Good thing you guys shut the gas off. And that's like.

• 26:14Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah.

• 26:15The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 26:15Speaker 06

  We should have done that.

• 26:18Speaker 06

  We were shooting a different house out on that property. So I guess we should have learned.

• 26:23Speaker 02

  American state.

• 26:23Speaker 06

  We were shooting a different house out there and we hear.

• 26:28Speaker 06

  And we're like, oh no.

• 26:29Speaker 01

  It smells like eggs.

• 26:30Speaker 06

  We thought we, we thought we hit a gas line. I was like, I didn't think there was gas in this house. And we start freaking out.

• 26:34Speaker 01

  Oh God, it was just the squatter.

• 26:35Speaker 06

  We realized it was just an air.

• 26:37Speaker 01

  Why is he hissing?

• 26:37Speaker 06

  Like there's like, there's like compressed gases in there.

• 26:40Speaker 01

  Freon?

• 26:41Speaker 06

  Yeah, like freon. And it was hissing. I was like, oh my gosh, this house is about to explode.

• 26:44Speaker 01

  Crackheads do weird shit when you shoot them, man. I don't know. Trust me, I don't.

• 26:51Speaker 02

  They're gross, Bam.

• 26:53Speaker 01

  No, no.

• 26:56Speaker 05

  Holy shit.

• 26:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, so. Moral of the story, we've done a lot of crazy shit together the past ten years.

• 27:02Speaker 06

  Yeah, it's been, it's been a long time. That's crazy.

• 27:05Speaker 01

  Better part of a decade.

• 27:06Speaker 06

  Yeah. When did you move here?

• 27:08Speaker 02

  Shit, uh, five years ago.

• 27:10Speaker 06

  Okay, yeah.

• 27:11Speaker 02

  Yeah, but I was coming out here and hanging out.

• 27:12Speaker 06

  But yeah, you'd already been making videos for a couple of years.

• 27:14Speaker 01

  Yeah. Cause you stayed with me. You live, you and John lived with me for like two weeks?

• 27:18Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah. I lived with Eli for a little bit.

• 27:20Speaker 05

  I forgot about that. Yeah, fuck, yeah. That was twenty, like twenty twenty.

• 27:23Speaker 06

  And you came like a year after that or?

• 27:25Speaker 01

  I have a couple of weeks. Yeah, it was pretty.

• 27:27Speaker 05

  Twenty twenty some.

• 27:28Speaker 01

  It was the, the big winter freeze, uh, the snowpocalypse.

• 27:32Speaker 06

  Snowpocalypse here.

• 27:33Speaker 05

  You were there for that.

• 27:34Speaker 02

  Yeah, oh yeah.

• 27:35Speaker 05

  We were staying at her buddy's house. Yeah, and then Brian pulls up during the snowpocalypse in his truck.

• 27:41Speaker 06

  He's like, what the hell?

• 27:43Speaker 01

  I moved my entire life, like my girlfriend at time, everything, like we moved across the country, like Texas, where it's fucking hot. And, uh.

• 27:50Speaker 06

  We took a wrong turn.

• 27:52Speaker 01

  Cause I was already like, I was already spending months at a time in Texas, just hanging out with you guys or like doing work shit or whatever. I'm like, I'm just moving to San Antonio. And, uh, yeah, what it, we get to Houston and the snow starts to fall and I'm like, oh fuck.

• 28:05Speaker 06

  Houston snow is crazy. That's insane. You're right next to the ocean, the Gulf of America.

• 28:10Speaker 01

  The Gulf of America, freezing.

• 28:12Speaker 02

  Well, he, he got here when no one had food, no one had power.

• 28:16Speaker 01

  No restaurants were open, no grocery stores were open.

• 28:20Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 28:20Speaker 01

  You were moving your entire life. You don't have a fridge. You don't have food. I think we, we went to a Buc-E's and I'm just like load up on everything calorie dense, cause it might be a minute.

• 28:28Speaker 05

  Yeah. And you pulled up, I don't know if we can keep this, Brian, it's your choice, but I just liked, then you had a conversation for an hour about it was not safe to drive.

• 28:39Speaker 01

  Yeah. So, somebody had wanted to go home. And I was like, I don't know how to explain this to you. Like, I'm like.

• 28:47Speaker 06

  We can't. That's not a option right now.

• 28:51Speaker 05

  He was just sliding down the road like this. He's like, is that good enough? Are we good?

• 28:57Speaker 05

  Bray walked back in. He's like, yeah, we're not.

• 28:59Speaker 02

  His first night in Texas, we're in a, what, a two, three bedroom home? And there's probably what, like 15 adults in there?

• 29:07Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 29:07Speaker 02

  Cause it was the only house that had power at the time because it was on the, the hospital grid.

• 29:11Speaker 06

  Yep.

• 29:12The Fat Electrician?

  Batty fetus.

• 29:14Speaker 05

  What? It was just like.

• 29:15Speaker 06

  Gushers.

• 29:19Speaker 05

  No, no, no. It was like just gushers.

• 29:21Speaker 06

  I made a pot roast for everyone. That was so fucking funny, man.

• 29:27Speaker 05

  That was like.

• 29:28Speaker 02

  It's like Vak, he's like, oh, we're all gonna eat each other.

• 29:30The Fat Electrician?

  You guys are all sitting there like, all right, who's gonna be the first one to eat one of Batty's lizards?

• 29:38Speaker 06

  I look back and I was like, those were such good times. None of us knew what the fuck was going on, man.

• 29:44Speaker 01

  When it comes to weight loss, you don't need more advice. You need more of what works. That's Weight Watchers with real tools designed to take the guesswork out of what to eat, how to move and how to build habits that actually last. That's why Weight Watchers members lose more weight.

• 30:00Speaker 06

  Real people, real results. Weight Watchers Core Plus. Get started at WeightWatchers.com. In a six month clinical trial of over 370 people, those using Weight Watchers saw significantly better results than those following standard nutritional advice alone. See the 2025 study published in the AJCN.

• 30:15Speaker 02

  Also, another one of the first times I came down, we killed Goldie.

• 30:18Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 30:19Speaker 02

  You had the van, the, yeah, the minivan.

• 30:21Speaker 06

  Yeah, we bought this minivan. We painted it gold and it turned out to just be the best running thing ever. Like, we couldn't kill it. We just kept making videos with.

• 30:27Speaker 02

  It was like a Hilux.

• 30:29Speaker 06

  Uh, no, yeah, it was like a Hilux. Yeah. But yeah, we made videos forever with it. And then finally it was like, kind of getting pretty beat up because we were just running it into trees and.

• 30:37Speaker 02

  You tied it to, what, we were in that like little reservoir?

• 30:41Speaker 06

  We didn't tie it.

• 30:41Speaker 02

  Beside bunker HQ.

• 30:42Speaker 06

  We tied the steering wheel, turned a little bit.

• 30:44Speaker 02

  Oh, really?

• 30:45Speaker 05

  And it was just doing circles.

• 30:46Speaker 06

  We put a brick on the pedal and just let it go around in circles and we just ran back. We're like, ah, the car's just. And we're just like, well, let's just shoot a different calibers and see what happens and.

• 30:57Speaker 02

  That was the first time my son came down too, because remember John was just like, yeah, like, yeah, just kill it.

• 31:02Speaker 06

  Kentucky was there and he, I can't remember if it was him or Batty, one of them two shot a fifty BMG incendiary at it. And then the van lit on fire and we're like, oh my gosh, if this thing burns all these trees and we're like.

• 31:14Speaker 01

  We kinda have to stop the van now.

• 31:16Speaker 06

  So we were like, well, how do we put it out? And I had this one little faucet, but no hose. So we just had buckets and we'd fill it up and go dump. It's a water. Water's not great at putting out gasoline, by the way. So we're like trying and we'd somehow did get it to go out.

• 31:27Speaker 02

  Yeah, that was, that was the first time my son experienced Texas. And he's like, this is, this is what Matt does.

• 31:33Speaker 01

  Guys are crazy.

• 31:34Speaker 02

  It's like, yeah, yeah, this is, this is it. We just shoot the minivan going in circles.

• 31:38Speaker 06

  Pretty good introduction.

• 31:40Speaker 01

  Yeah, that sums up demolition ranch.

• 31:44Speaker 02

  Do you ever think about like when your kids get out in the real world and they're just not surrounded by our group like?

• 31:50Speaker 06

  My kids are not surrounded by our.

• 31:57Speaker 06

  Have you guys ever hung out with my kids? Rarely.

• 31:59The Fat Electrician?

  I've never even met his kids.

• 32:02Speaker 06

  I keep my kids far away from our group.

• 32:05The Fat Electrician?

  I've only met Merrill one time.

• 32:08Speaker 01

  It's whenever I was like, especially when I was coming to visit or anything like before I lived here. And we'd stay at the YouTuber suite.

• 32:16Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 32:17Speaker 01

  And uh, just like waking up the next morning, I'm like, I'm used to like hanging out with all the, the guys, whatever, like all this degenerate shit. And then like walking into your kitchen as your kids are getting ready to go to school and there's pancakes out and whatnot. I'm like, I feel like a horrible.

• 32:32Speaker 06

  That's what was so hard about being like living this YouTube life is I'd have people come in and they'd spend the night. Cause we had this little separate apartment that was just, we really just bought that house. We thought it was cool. There was like an apartment in it. So people could come in and make videos. But normal guys who don't have kids, they stay up till three in the morning. And I have to get up at six in the morning to like feed kids and take them to school. And so it's like, I would be like so worn out because I'm, I'm waking up so early. And then like the people, not, not you guys in particular, but some guys like wouldn't wake, actually donut probably, wouldn't wake up until like, you know.

• 33:06The Fat Electrician?

  That's for you.

• 33:06Speaker 06

  Noon, I'll drink it.

• 33:07The Fat Electrician?

  You're having one Bush Light with me before you retire.

• 33:09Speaker 06

  I'll do.

• 33:10The Fat Electrician?

  May I have a Bush?

• 33:11Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah. Yeah, but they wouldn't wake up till like noon. We can't start making videos till two. And then like, I gotta pick up kids from school at four thirty and I'm like, this is not working for our little day, but yeah, hard figuring out that stuff.

• 33:23Speaker 05

  Family life plus YouTube life, you can make it work. It's just challenging.

• 33:26Speaker 01

  It was like that in the political world too, because it was like I had to like drive four hours to West Texas to do events or whatever. So I'm like, I'm doing all the YouTuber life, but I still have to wake up at six o'clock in the morning to go start my day with a four hour drive. Yeah. Like that was the juxtaposition of doing what we do and doing anything else a functional adult does is very difficult.

• 33:47The Fat Electrician?

  Everybody wonders why I haven't moved to Texas yet. It's because it makes it really easy to not have to fight that battle.

• 33:53Speaker 01

  Have a normal home life.

• 33:55Speaker 05

  Last night at the bar, I was like, I gotta go guys.

• 34:00Speaker 05

  Well, I was like, you guys staying here?

• 34:01Speaker 01

  You missed some really funny shit.

• 34:03The Fat Electrician?

  Bro, it got aggressive after you left. We almost got in a fight.

• 34:07Speaker 01

  With who? An eighties action movie villain.

• 34:11The Fat Electrician?

  Literally bear in mind, we stayed up till three in the morning the night prior, watching both versions of Roadhouse. And then we almost got in a bar fight the next night.

• 34:21Speaker 01

  I feel like that was completely not our fault.

• 34:23The Fat Electrician?

  We were sitting there minding our own business and a woman that apparently was 40, based on what she said and was recently divorced, that she said five more times, came up and was hitting on some of us and, you know, we were polite or whatever. And we were like, yeah, cool, blah, blah. And she talked for like five, 10 minutes and then like went off.

• 34:45Speaker 01

  Standing over our table while we're just trying to hang out.

• 34:48The Fat Electrician?

  We're talking.

• 34:48Speaker 05

  I was like, oh vodka, you guys.

• 34:51Speaker 01

  They were offered a bunch of.

• 34:52The Fat Electrician?

  How did you know she offered to buy us vodka?

• 34:55Speaker 05

  I was there.

• 34:55The Fat Electrician?

  Oh, for that part you were there? You were there for the second part.

• 34:59Speaker 05

  The first part was like, yeah, I was like, oh, vodka, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, well, I gotta use the restroom real quick. And I went and fucking shit because I had cheese.

• 35:08Speaker 05

  When I came back, they weren't there. I was like, no.

• 35:11The Fat Electrician?

  So she went and was like making out with some other dude that she went and found at the bar for a while, very aggressively, like licking tongues at the bar.

• 35:22Speaker 01

  Getting kicked out of the bar. It was aggressive.

• 35:25The Fat Electrician?

  And then as they were leaving together, she stopped at our table again. And it was like saying hi again.

• 35:32Speaker 01

  Cause you have three exits to make up your mind.

• 35:35The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah, was her phrasing. And then, uh, the dude that she had left with has already walked out and he comes back in like two minutes later. And he's got like a Hawaiian shirt with like the bottom two buttons done like his whole chest is out. And he's got one of those like Colgate flosser picks in his mouth and he's chewing on it like a 1980s cool guy with a toothpick. It's like, you coming with me or you staying with these boys?

• 36:02The Fat Electrician?

  Ken Trout looks around like, did that just?

• 36:05Speaker 01

  We all did like just the sunglasses off like. Just not saying we're hot shit, but this is a bold table to have that attitude with.

• 36:14The Fat Electrician?

  Unless Grossman. Table of three grown men by yourself to walk up and be like, these boys is insane.

• 36:22Speaker 02

  You have this 250 pound gorilla right here. You're gonna call him a boy? With Brandon and fucking Trout sitting there. That's.

• 36:30Speaker 05

  Also, he's like, I'm getting late at night. And then the girl's like, oh yeah, I forgot about you.

• 36:37Speaker 01

  I don't know how to say this, but like, this guy doesn't look like one of us. Like it's just a very mid skinny white guy where just like.

• 36:47The Fat Electrician?

  1980s tough guy at a bar and we just got done watching Roadhouse. So it was like, and in the back of my mind was like, all of us can post bail. This is.

• 36:58Speaker 01

  Man, I just wanted to go home.

• 37:01The Fat Electrician?

  There's some mug shots that won't be good for my career and there's some that would, and this is one that might be pretty cool.

• 37:08Speaker 01

  I missed it for Trump.

• 37:10The Fat Electrician?

  Just saying.

• 37:10Speaker 01

  He sold a lot of shirts, man.

• 37:13The Fat Electrician?

  It's kind of my thing.

• 37:14Speaker 02

  I just remember them being shit wrecked when they approached and then.

• 37:18The Fat Electrician?

  It didn't get better.

• 37:20Speaker 02

  I didn't figure that. Like, ooh, okay, I'm out.

• 37:25The Fat Electrician?

  I'm sorry.

• 37:26Speaker 02

  Okay, I dadded that one. I, I went home last night.

• 37:30The Fat Electrician?

  You were out for that part.

• 37:31Speaker 02

  Yeah, I was like, I want to go see my son. You guys went out and almost got into a fucking bar fight with a 1980s villain.

• 37:36Speaker 01

  You would have been so pissed if we got in a bar fight without you.

• 37:39Speaker 02

  I know, that would have been horrible.

• 37:42Speaker 01

  I was asleep by now.

• 37:42The Fat Electrician?

  Her drunk friend comes, I've never seen a man so openly displaying his wedding ring and I was like, okay.

• 37:50Speaker 01

  How were you sitting?

• 37:51The Fat Electrician?

  I was sitting like this.

• 37:53Speaker 01

  With your wedding ring hidden?

• 37:54The Fat Electrician?

  She was like standing above me. So I was like this, listening to the conversation and her friend walks up like, this guy's trying to show off his wedding ring. And I was like,

• 38:04Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 38:05The Fat Electrician?

  No, but also yes.

• 38:07Speaker 01

  Defensive posture because I don't know you and you're hovering over me.

• 38:10The Fat Electrician?

  I'm uncomfortable and you're dressed like Han Solo in January.

• 38:15Speaker 01

  That is pretty funny.

• 38:17Speaker 05

  Don't talk shit about the white Whitney Houston.

• 38:20The Fat Electrician?

  Oh my God.

• 38:21Speaker 01

  She did say that.

• 38:22The Fat Electrician?

  She, she literally, she was so drunk. She's like, I did, I did, after we just watched her make out with the dude at the bar.

• 38:29Speaker 01

  I just go, why?

• 38:30The Fat Electrician?

  I recently got divorced.

• 38:31Speaker 01

  Nine, 10, brother. This all happened over the course of 30 more minutes.

• 38:35The Fat Electrician?

  I shouldn't be doing this. I just got back from church from worship and she's like, I go to a black church. They call me the white Whitney Houston. And I'm trying, I had to get up and go to the bathroom. I was laughing so hard.

• 38:48Speaker 01

  God, she's trying really hard. Damn, 30 more minutes. Damn.

• 38:53The Fat Electrician?

  I should have stayed longer.

• 38:54Speaker 01

  You guys were not picking up what she was putting down. I don't think we wanted to pick up what she was putting down. NPC behavior, dude.

• 39:04The Fat Electrician?

  What was, um?

• 39:05Speaker 01

  The random encounters from GTA, what is strangers and freaks? It was like, oh, fuck. All right. This is entertaining.

• 39:11Speaker 05

  Hey, Brandon.

• 39:12Speaker 01

• 40:28Speaker 05

  We've talked about this, like, and I don't know about you, with Cody it is, did you ever have that thought process, like, hey, I'm retiring, at any point before that was like, I'm gonna hand it off to my kids?

• 40:39Speaker 06

  Me?

• 40:40Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 40:40Speaker 06

  Were you ever like in that? Oh, you're talking to me, sorry, I was still thinking about the.

• 40:47Speaker 06

  I honestly don't know if I want my kids to do this, you know? I don't know, but, but yeah, someone, someone did like ask me if I would ever sell the channel and I was like, nah, I don't think so, I mean, I mean, I guess everything is for sale, like, if it was a crazy.

• 41:01Speaker 05

  200 million?

• 41:01Speaker 06

  Yeah, if it's a crazy amount, like, I, yeah, I can't say that I would really stand strong on that, but like, there's a, a big sentimental part of it where it's like, I want it because it's something I created, it was my baby for so long.

• 41:11Speaker 05

  It's your legacy, dude.

• 41:12Speaker 06

  It's something that like I loved, and so, I want it for me, but then it's also like, what if in 20 years, I want to be Hickok45 on the internet, you know, still making videos? Or what if I want to let one of my kids go ahead and take it over and have Demolition Ranch come back if YouTube is still a thing in 20 years, you know, or five years, 10 years, whatever it is, you know?

• 41:31Speaker 01

  It's an interesting perspective, because like, if you, if one of your kids approached you, let's say in like two, three years.

• 41:36Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 41:36Speaker 01

  Like, they're a little older, and said, Dad, I want to do YouTube, what would your advice, like, what, what's your take?

• 41:41Speaker 06

  Two, three years is too soon, there's, they'll still, they're not old enough yet, but if they're in their twenties, yeah, if they're in their twenties and they want to do that, like, yeah, go for it, I don't care, I mean.

• 41:50Speaker 05

  We're the first generation of YouTubers, dude. What do you do, what do you do with that channel?

• 41:55Speaker 06

  Right, and, and like, if, if YouTube is still a thing, like, we also would have the first, like, generate, like, multi-generational on YouTube. Like someone, yeah, I mean, now you have actors who their parents were actors, you know, the Charlie Sheen's, you know, and

• 42:10Speaker 05

  Every business, every business that you start, especially a family business, it is, I've started this, this is what I'm doing. I'm gonna pass this off, you take care of it. This is the first one where it's like, I don't fucking know, because it is scary. You're like, I don't know if you wanna.

• 42:23Speaker 06

  Yeah, when they're in their twenties, I think it's great. Like they're old enough to make their own decisions and everything. And so I would be totally fine with that in their twenties. But yeah, there's so many like Martin Sheen, Charlie Sheen, like

• 42:35Speaker 02

  The scars, the scars guards.

• 42:36Speaker 05

  Scar guards.

• 42:37Speaker 06

  And, and yeah, like that, that's great. You know, their dads obviously helped them get there or whatever. And so if that is how YouTube is, that is kinda cool. And so I kinda like it.

• 42:46Speaker 01

  We all say like, oh, you know, if YouTube is still a thing, like it blows my mind to think about it. Uh, but like YouTube currently is twenty years old.

• 42:53Speaker 06

  Yeah, it's, it's, it's like my, my whole career.

• 42:55Speaker 01

  I just watch your fucking face change entirely.

• 42:57Speaker 06

  It's true though.

• 42:59Speaker 02

  Everyone is like.

• 43:00Speaker 06

  Yeah, but it's, it's, it's something that like my whole career, I've thought, you know, especially I was a vet for the first, you know,

• 43:07Speaker 02

  Thank you for your service.

• 43:08Speaker 06

  Half of it, yeah.

• 43:11Speaker 01

  We pass it off to you.

• 43:14Speaker 06

  But yeah, I was a veterinarian. I held on to that because I was like, well, YouTube is, it's new. It may just disappear any day. So I don't want to count on that as my career. And so I did that for a long time until like I was making way more money on YouTube. And I was like, okay, it's, it's more fun. It's more flexible. I can do it whenever I feel like it. And now it's way more profitable. So I guess I'm gonna do more YouTube than veterinary work. And where was I going with this? Oh yeah. So then we kept, we kept using it, um, as just YouTube may disappear at any time. Like I knew like, okay, two years from now, YouTube might not be here. But now that it's been going for 20 years, it's like, what if this is still here in 20 more years? What if YouTube is like a lifelong career, which it looks like it could be.

• 43:56Speaker 02

  I think that's the new Hollywood. I think it's replacing.

• 43:59Speaker 01

  You still have the fifteen, fifteen minutes of fame, you know, because like I, I don't think I'll be here in 10 years. Like on YouTube, like at the same place, like I, I don't think I got that in me. Like, I don't think that's a thing that any of us like 10, 10 years from now, I'm like, I I don't know. This has an aspiration, David. We just don't know what it is.

• 44:16Speaker 06

  Person in 10 years, like, you know, similar, but you're gonna change in that amount of time. And I don't know. It's weird.

• 44:22Speaker 02

  Oh, people keep getting shot, so I'm gonna be around forever.

• 44:25Speaker 01

  Well, you got job security.

• 44:26Speaker 02

  Assholes never die.

• 44:28Speaker 01

  I mean, your entire channel's watching assholes die.

• 44:36Speaker 02

  What you uh, so like you got, how many subscribers did you get on Vet Ranch?

• 44:40Speaker 06

  Uh, four million or something, I'm, I think.

• 44:43Speaker 02

  Yeah, that was doing good.

• 44:45Speaker 06

  Yeah, it was. YouTube is what killed that. So YouTube made it to where blood, you know, like if there's blood, you can't make money on it anymore.

• 44:53Speaker 02

  Yeah, even if you're like taking care of a puppy or a kitten.

• 44:56Speaker 06

  And so, and mine was like not gratuitous blood. It was like, I'm showing how a surgery works.

• 44:59Speaker 01

  Cause you've been censored it too, like blurred.

• 45:01Speaker 06

  I tried censoring it and it really, the censoring took away what I loved about Vet Ranch, which was I could take, like my dad was a veterinarian. And so I got to go in the clinic as a little kid and watch these crazy surgeries. You know, I'm sitting there at the edge of the table watching these crazy surgeries. And I was like, that was cool as a kid to see, cause not many kids get to see that kind of stuff. And so I thought Vet Ranch is cool because I can show kids across the world what it looks like to take out a bladder stone, or what it looks like when a dog eats this and you have to cut its stomach open and pull it out. But then YouTube came through five years later and just made it to where you can't make any money on it. It was like, those videos were really expensive and really hard to make. Cause you know, they took a month of me like following these dogs throughout their recovery or whatever.

• 45:43Speaker 01

  But because it's educational, you can still watch some gay dude nare his asshole on YouTube.

• 45:48Speaker 06

  Can you watch that?

• 45:49The Fat Electrician?

  Yes.

• 45:49Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 45:50Speaker 05

  It's a whole thing.

• 45:51The Fat Electrician?

  Well, uh.

• 45:52Speaker 02

  Oh God.

• 45:54Speaker 05

  Do not pull that up.

• 45:59The Fat Electrician?

  Straight up boobs are against the rules unless you're holding a baby and you claim it has anything to do with breastfeeding, which is a whole nother level of disgusting. Cause there's all these women like on Instagram and YouTube reels and everything where it's like blatantly promoting OnlyFans while holding an infant. And I was like, that's fucked up.

• 46:17Speaker 06

  The even, I don't know if it's weird or not, but where they have a fake baby?

• 46:20Speaker 01

  The dolls?

• 46:20Speaker 06

  Yes. What the hell?

• 46:23Speaker 02

  Like not to get on my old man's soapbox.

• 46:25Speaker 06

  Algorithm too.

• 46:27Speaker 02

  Matt's sitting over here trying to show kids that like, yeah, blood is a thing. Taking care of dogs is a thing. This is a thing that happens in your life.

• 46:36Speaker 01

  Real skills.

• 46:37Speaker 02

  Yeah, real like, like teaching young people like this is. Part of life and they fucked you.

• 46:44Speaker 06

  And we were doing, we were, it was all homeless dogs. So we were like net positive. We're helping out, you know?

• 46:49Speaker 01

  It's almost like charity work.

• 46:50Speaker 06

  It was, I mean, I was getting paid for it. So it wasn't charity work for me, but like we're doing net, net positive stuff, which was really cool. And then they cut basically all funding for it. And it was like, well, I can't spend a month working on these videos that I'm not going to make any money on it. Well, now I'm going to lose money on every one of them. And so it was hard and just kind of took the, took the, the, you know, the fun of making them. When I had, I tried censoring and then it just, you couldn't show anything. And it was just, I don't know. They just felt lame. And then I, I wasn't making money on it.

• 47:18Speaker 01

  Would you ever go back to it? Like just as like a thing now that I retired, you're like, you're going to go back to.

• 47:22Speaker 06

  That is one of the options that I think may happen is go back and just be a regular veterinarian again, which is weird. A weird, a weird thing to think about. Yeah.

• 47:29The Fat Electrician?

  I'm gonna have to get a hurt dog to get you back on Unsub.

• 47:32Speaker 06

  Yes, yes.

• 47:33Speaker 01

  I know what I have to do. I just don't know if I have the strength to do it.

• 47:37The Fat Electrician?

  Doug, I'm sorry.

• 47:42Speaker 06

  And the screen goes like.

• 47:46Speaker 01

  The black guy crying with the gun like.

• 47:52Speaker 06

  Yeah, that's on the table. It's weird.

• 47:54Speaker 02

  Cool. Your family still owns like, still has the practice, right?

• 47:57Speaker 06

  Um, yeah, yeah. My, my sister-in-law like purchased the practice from me. Yeah.

• 48:01Speaker 01

  Oh, okay. Yeah. I knew you sold it. I didn't know you sold it family. That's cool.

• 48:03Speaker 06

  Yeah. Yeah. So.

• 48:05Speaker 02

  So that's actually like, hey, this might be, what is the other one other than that one? Have you had any other options for yourself? Where you're like, oh, this sounds.

• 48:12Speaker 06

  Like what I might do?

• 48:13Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 48:14Speaker 06

  Um, maybe I'll just become like a rancher, just like have cattle and just, no, I really don't have any plans, but like I might, I might do nothing like that for a while. Like I'm just gonna like, I need to put up some fence. I'm just gonna do old man shit for a while. Like I really, I don't know.

• 48:28The Fat Electrician?

  Bro, Matt's going hardcore Yellowstone. It's awesome.

• 48:33Speaker 06

  Vehicles and just ride a horse to town. If you see the guy on the horse, that's me.

• 48:37Speaker 02

  Dude, I got my thousand videos in like, can I come Yellowstone with you?

• 48:40Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 48:41Speaker 02

  Okay. I'll just be a ranch hand.

• 48:43Speaker 01

  All my friends are Yellowstoneing.

• 48:48The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah. Okay. Guy that just recently ran for office. Like you're not doing it too.

• 48:53Speaker 06

  Fuck you, man.

• 48:55Speaker 01

  That was a very poignant example.

• 49:00Speaker 06

  So like.

• 49:01Speaker 01

  In the show, he won.

• 49:06The Fat Electrician?

  So I guess like, I'll be honest, like I didn't, I came in so late, I never really looked up to you as like the content creation side, but like the cool part for me was one of the first times I'd ever came to town. And we were talking and you were like, I flew in Friday night, I was flying out Monday morning and I was like, "Hey, you wanna get together, do whatever?" And you're like, "Oh, sorry man, my weekends are for family."

• 49:28Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 49:29The Fat Electrician?

  That was super cool to me, just like, so like I look up to you as like-

• 49:32Speaker 06

  That's why I told you, you wanted to do this podcast yesterday, which was a Sunday, and I said, "No." I said, "I had stuff going on."

• 49:38The Fat Electrician?

  I didn't.

• 49:40Speaker 06

  But that's fine. I was just hanging with family.

• 49:41The Fat Electrician?

  Like, smart, smart. I love it. So like, I don't look up to you as a content creator, but like I look up to you as like, okay, I got little tiny kids right now, so it's like, how the fuck do I navigate doing this while also trying to be a good dad?

• 49:54Speaker 06

  He thinks you're a shit content creator.

• 49:56The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah, no, your content is dog shit, especially when I'm in it. But no, so like, the, the cool part to me is like seeing how you manage that and then, uh, hearing that. So I guess, do you have any advice for, cause like I'm constantly struggling with like, I had a, like a rougher childhood than I think my kids are gonna have. So in the back of my brain, I'm like, how do I traumatize this kid enough so he's funny and I'd wanna hang out with them, but also he doesn't hate me?

• 50:20Speaker 06

  I had a good childhood, like, you know, great parents who love me and supported me and everything. So I didn't have that. But, uh, I still wanna give that to my kids and, and I think, I think I have, I think, you know, as, as a YouTuber, you have a lot of freedom to hang out with your kids all the time. Um, but what I've started realizing is I also have a freedom, I also have the freedom to hang out with my kids more than I do. And so I just wanna make sure like, and there's been times when I've felt guilty about like, you know, for instance, my daughter's birthday is right around shot show. I've literally missed the actual day of her birthday because it was shot show. And I was like, this is the one thing that I, I gotta do this year. And I feel guilty about that, even though we celebrate her birthday two days before or whatever, you know, but-

• 51:01The Fat Electrician?

  So that's the advice, "Don't fuck my wife nine months from shot show."

• 51:07Speaker 06

  That's the kind of stuff that I'm like, I don't want to do that anymore. I don't want to have to like be like, well, it's just two days before. It's not a big deal, you know, and I'm there for my kids all the time, but like I want to be like to where they never can be like, yeah, dad missed my birthday every year because shot show was around that time, you know? But no, I'm, I'm not a perfect father at all. And I, I'm not aspiring to be a perfect father at all. But yeah, I just, I don't know. I just, I, I think in a few years, I mean, I, I have seven and a half more years where my kids are in the house. And I'm like, I want to have no regrets this last seven and a half years that like, I literally did every single thing. I went to every single game and I took them to school every time they needed me to take them to school. And that's, that's my plan.

• 51:47Speaker 05

  I think a lot of people, Cody, you're feeling that too. It's when they hit 18, 19, 20, they hopefully will move out and that's, you're going to see him maybe once a month, depending if it gets less and less. And then that's the life.

• 52:01Speaker 06

  Does John have his driver's license yet?

• 52:03Speaker 02

  No, no. Yeah, we're, we're working on getting his learner's permit right now.

• 52:07Speaker 06

  My wife's brother, his son just turned 16 and I didn't realize this. He, he said he didn't realize this. Whenever he turned 16, he was like, he's gone way more than he used to be. He's like, I thought, I thought we'd see him for like the next couple of years and then he was going to move out. He's like, now that he has his driver's license, like he goes to school in the morning on his own and then he comes home like, you know, they have a curfew or whatever on a weekday. He has to be home by eight o'clock or whatever, you know? And he's like, we don't see him until eight. He hangs out with his friends. He goes to basketball practice and he was like, I feel like he's already half moved out at 16 years old. And I'm like, that's crazy.

• 52:38Speaker 05

  Like, cause like you kind of want that.

• 52:40Speaker 06

  Yeah, for sure. You want them to start getting that independence and that freedom.

• 52:43Speaker 02

  Yeah. Well, I'm trying to teach John right now. I'm terrified because I'm like, hey dude, when you get out in the real world, you're not going to be around the demo ranch, the fucking fat electricians, the Eli, the Brandon Herrera, the Post Malones, like all the people that we fucking, we're around. That's not a normal, that's not a normal thing.

• 53:01Speaker 05

  You're not going to go out to eat every day. You're not like, these are not things. Buying your lunch. Everyone's going to split that shit. I'll take my check, please. Thank you.

• 53:09Speaker 02

  Like, yeah, we're not, we're not going out to brunch, dude. Like, and it's hard trying to impress on him. Like, this is not. Not a normal life. We do this because you know, we've, we've scratched and we've worked our way up in the world the past like 10 years.

• 53:24Speaker 06

  That's shitty because the kids don't see that because that, that was the, what were we just talking about? Where I'm like, man, I, I am so much more relaxed now than I ever was in my early, like I set my twenties on fire to get here.

• 53:35Speaker 02

  Yep. Yeah.

• 53:36Speaker 06

  And people don't see that, especially kids. So I can only imagine.

• 53:39Speaker 02

  Matt's working 18 hours a day. All of us, we're just working 18 hours a day trying to get this shit started. And we're at a comfortable place right now, but like, how do you tell a kid, this is not normal life. Like this is not what happens.

• 53:53Speaker 06

  He's just gonna have culture shock when he finally moves out.

• 53:55Speaker 02

  Yeah. He's gonna have to get like roommates and you know, live in an apartment and like, yeah, it's wild.

• 54:02Speaker 06

  Eat ramen six days a week.

• 54:04Speaker 02

  Yep. You can't go out and eat every day. You can't go out and drink and like, you're gonna have to manage your money, bubba. It's a shock. You're like, fuck dude, what the?

• 54:16Speaker 06

  This life sucks. I'm moving back to your dad.

• 54:19Speaker 02

  Get out. No.

• 54:21Speaker 06

  Well, that's what I, that's what I'm telling you. Code doesn't work.

• 54:24Speaker 02

  Yeah. I'm like, dude, like, I'm not gonna be here forever, buddy. I'm not gonna fucking pay for your meals or like your apartment or your car or any of this. So yeah, it's weird life, bud.

• 54:36Speaker 05

  Is that hard for you? Or are you like, hey, my kids are pretty set up. They're squared away.

• 54:41Speaker 06

  Um, no, my kids, we have a very normal home life. Like we have, I don't know if y'all know, but we don't hang out with y'all ever.

• 54:48Speaker 02

  Dude, I, I, we hung out like twice as fans, like bringing our kiddos over and I was like, oh, this is so nice. And then we're leaving by like eight. Yeah. That was so lovely.

• 55:00Speaker 06

  We have a very normal like home life for the kids. Get, we have a bunch of non YouTube families, not because of you guys, but just because we want our kids.

• 55:09Speaker 01

  Well, it's compartmentalized. There's two of them here. I'm not gonna say which ones, but the brown ones.

• 55:16The Fat Electrician?

  We were talking about it last night on the podcast with Quentin and Vanessa and how they're like that. They're like, every time you throw a house party and the YouTubers and the normal friends are invited, they're like the intermediary where the doctors are like, how do I talk to all the guys with tattoos and drank too much?

• 55:32Speaker 01

  It's like your birthday party?

• 55:33Speaker 06

  Yeah, my birthday party. I was just like, I'm gonna invite everyone I know.

• 55:38The Fat Electrician?

  It was so good.

• 55:39Speaker 06

  It was all my YouTube friends and all of my church friends.

• 55:44Speaker 01

  Half the room's fucking sweater vests and glasses and the other half is doing shots from an AT4.

• 55:50Speaker 06

  I was like, man, these are all the people I love in the world. I'm just gonna invite freaking everyone here. It's gonna be awesome. And it was. I had the best time ever, but it was, there was two groups there. It was a school dance. It was like the girls and the boys are split up. But it was funny seeing like, like JT was there and he like, he found my, my air force buddy and they just start talking about air force stuff the whole time. Like people started connecting. It was hilarious and I loved it.

• 56:13Speaker 01

  I know how to talk about the NASDAQ.

• 56:18The Fat Electrician?

  What cali- what caliber is that?

• 56:21Speaker 06

  But yeah, we, we had an AT4 rocket tube. We put a beer bong in it and we called it the Beer Zuka and it was awesome.

• 56:29Speaker 05

  Did all of us pulled from it?

• 56:31Speaker 06

  Yeah. I mean, I got like my accountant friends to take Beer Zukas, you know, like we had, we had my, my family doctor Beer Zuking. It was awesome.

• 56:40The Fat Electrician?

  The dichotomy of man.

• 56:44Speaker 06

  Like, what the fuck?

• 56:46Speaker 01

  We really did like, it felt like having split personalities.

• 56:49The Fat Electrician?

  It's like Spartacus where all the wealthy ramens are throwing a party and they bring in the gladiators. It's like a sideshow.

• 57:02Speaker 06

  You can tell who's on YouTube because like all those guys have sleeves.

• 57:06The Fat Electrician?

  Hand tattoos are a good side.

• 57:09Speaker 06

  Not a lawyer.

• 57:13The Fat Electrician?

  Hey.

• 57:15Speaker 01

  So I talked about that, like getting like neck tattoos or something. Cause it's like, just so you know, we're never going back to a real job.

• 57:22Speaker 02

  This.

• 57:23The Fat Electrician?

  That was my commitment when I got these. I'm never going back.

• 57:26Speaker 05

  That's why I get hand tattoos now. I'm not doing that again.

• 57:29The Fat Electrician?

  I've become too confrontational.

• 57:31Speaker 01

  Never not work for myself ever again. Like that, you just can't.

• 57:35The Fat Electrician?

  It was like worst case scenario, I'm going to open up my own electrician shop and I'm still going to work for myself. Oddly enough, when the power's out, you don't care how many tattoos the guy has that shows up to turn the lights back on.

• 57:46Speaker 01

  Although I did see a guy in Vegas who really made that commitment, like harder than I've ever seen. Passed him in the grocery store, had fucking SS runes tattooed on his neck. Like, man, that guy better be self-employed or he's just not employed.

• 58:02Speaker 05

  He's a roofer.

• 58:03The Fat Electrician?

  Works for the gas company.

• 58:10Speaker 05

  Oh my god damn dog.

• 58:12Speaker 01

  He's a train engineer.

• 58:15Speaker 05

  Okay, everyone's an R and P awesome.

• 58:18Speaker 07

  When it comes to weight loss, you don't need more advice. You need more of what works. That's Weight Watchers with real tools designed to take the guesswork out of what to eat, how to move and how to build habits that actually last. That's why Weight Watchers members lose more weight. Real people, real results. Weight Watchers Core Plus. Get started at WeightWatchers.com. In a six month clinical trial of over 370 people, those using Weight Watchers saw significantly better results than those following standard nutritional advice alone. See the 2025 study published in the AJCN.

• 58:48Speaker 05

  Have to pee?

• 58:48Speaker 01

  I actually do have to pee, but you guys are going to be so lonely without me.

• 58:51Speaker 05

  No, we'll go pee too. I actually have to pee. I'm drinking more than I usually.

• 58:57Speaker 06

  I had a water bottle for this and I'm like, yeah, I gotta pee.

• 59:00Speaker 05

  Now we get asked the fun questions like, what was the worst moment in all of demo history? We talked about one, which I.

• 59:09Speaker 01

  That's probably what I'll bring up again.

• 59:11Speaker 05

  But your perspective is quite nice on the subject.

• 59:14Speaker 01

  Let's do it.

• 59:16Speaker 02

  What is it?

• 59:17Speaker 06

  Oh, we're going.

• 59:18Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's totally fucking rolling, dog. We don't hit pause.

• 59:21Speaker 06

  Yeah, my, uh, I mean, well, I don't know. Maybe it's just feels like the worst moment because it was the most recent. But yeah, it was the Trump shooting.

• 59:28Speaker 01

  The eyeballs on it.

• 59:30Speaker 06

  Yeah, well, I mean, it really was like, I don't want to be associated with this, but for some reason I'm associated with it. And so it's.

• 59:36The Fat Electrician?

  Hey, that was my worst moment, too.

• 59:38Speaker 06

  Why was that your worst?

• 59:39The Fat Electrician?

  Cause I had just taken a loan out against my house and spent a significant amount of money to buy into your company. And literally thirty six hours later, I was like, oh no, I'm gonna lose my house.

• 59:53Speaker 06

  Well, that was so my, so I, one of my like really good friends is an attorney. And so we do all like our contracts through him and he calls me and he's like, hey, I talked to one of my like big attorney friends and he was like, you could get, yeah, the first thing he goes, he said, hey, are all of your guns legal? And I was like, yeah. And he goes, oh, good, good, good, good. And I was like, why?

• 1:00:16Speaker 01

  Good, good.

• 1:00:19Speaker 02

  Everything's happening like, bah?

• 1:00:20Speaker 06

  Yeah, like, like my attorney friend calls me, it was like two days later or something. So it all like we have been watching.

• 1:00:25Speaker 01

  Yes, why you pause?

• 1:00:26Speaker 06

  Yeah, and he was like, he was like, yeah, he, oh, he said, good. And I was like, why? And he goes, well, because you're probably gonna get, um, they're gonna get a warrant and come like, look through all your stuff. And I'm like, why? And he's like, just because it's a big like nation worldwide, you know, thing. And they're gonna want to make sure you didn't have any involvement with it. I was like, because he wore my T shirt. He's like, he's just saying they might. And I'm like, well, that's gonna fucking suck.

• 1:00:52Speaker 02

  Just to preface the conversation, if you guys haven't seen it, we talked about it with Clinton Jenna last night, like there was a person who shot at the sitting president and was wearing one of Matt's shirts.

• 1:01:06Speaker 01

  The star of Beavis and Butthead.

• 1:01:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:01:08Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:01:10Speaker 06

  Well, and he was wearing one of the shirts that like our most popular shirt, the one I've worn the most, like a gray shirt that just says Demolition.

• 1:01:17Speaker 02

  Demolition.

• 1:01:18Speaker 06

  We have, we have sold so many of that shirts, so many of those shirts. All you guys have had one of those shirts and like.

• 1:01:23Speaker 01

  Immediately after, I think we all did videos like in that shirt, just out of solidarity, like, ah.

• 1:01:28Speaker 06

  I mean, and we like, I, I was going over to one of my buddy's houses.

• 1:01:32Speaker 01

  Solidarity for you, for the record.

• 1:01:39Speaker 01

  Just throwing that out there.

• 1:01:41The Fat Electrician?

  Brandon sabotaging future Brandon again.

• 1:01:45Speaker 01

  Politics bringing it out and they feel the need to clarify.

• 1:01:48Speaker 05

  I just like Brandon really like.

• 1:01:50Speaker 06

  Oh dang it. Well, that's gonna get clipped clipped out of context. Uh, no, I was I was going over to a guy's house that night just to hang out and he was like, man, did you hear about this Trump shooting? I was like, no. And I like, he tells me like, yeah, some guy took a shot at Trump. And I was like, that's crazy. And that's all we knew. And then like two hours later, my brother texts me and he was like, uh, have you seen this? And sends me a screenshot. He was the first one that let me know, Drew.

• 1:02:12Speaker 05

  Drewski.

• 1:02:13Speaker 06

  Yeah, Drewski. He was the first one to let me know. He like sends me, he's like, have you seen this? And I was like, that's not real. Where'd you get that? Where'd you get that picture? And he like, he's like, it's the one they're showing. And I look it up and I'm like, that is for sure one of my shirts.

• 1:02:25Speaker 01

  I didn't believe it at first.

• 1:02:26Speaker 06

  Yeah, I was like, there's no way. Like, that's insane. And it it was insane and it happened and it's crazy. But yeah, it sucked. Like, uh, you know, the news is talking about the guy's name and Trump and me.

• 1:02:39Speaker 01

  And your militia.

• 1:02:40Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:02:41Speaker 05

  My militia.

• 1:02:41Speaker 06

  The militia. This alt-right militia.

• 1:02:44Speaker 05

  Yeah, of course, the biggest two A YouTubers in the world. This militia.

• 1:02:49Speaker 01

  Fuck journalists, man.

• 1:02:51Speaker 05

  We don't, we don't bully them enough.

• 1:02:53Speaker 01

  They don't go to heaven.

• 1:02:54Speaker 06

  I did talk to the FBI. They did call like weeks later, like it was like months later, probably like two months later. They called like they they never did an investigation. I never got a warrant. They never looked through anything. I think someone probably was like, that doesn't make any sense. That's stupid. But the FBI did reach out just to like chat and they they said, well, you know, like, the guy was like looking through your videos like to learn how to like shoot guns and stuff and blah. And I went, wait, what? I was like, what do you mean? Do you know that? Cause no one's ever told me that before. And she goes, well, no, I was just saying, maybe that was happening. That's what happened. I was like, so why did you say that? And she was like.

• 1:03:26The Fat Electrician?

  I, I love you, but of all the gun YouTubers, looking at how to shoot guns efficiently is not what I would go to your channel for.

• 1:03:35Speaker 06

  But that's what she said. And I was like, why did you say that? And she was like, oh, I don't know. I mean, it was just like, I just thought maybe I was like, did someone say that that they found that out? Like, I don't know. And she was like, no, I'm not on the case. I have no idea. And I was like.

• 1:03:45Speaker 05

  Did he wear a can of beans to stop a bullet?

• 1:03:47Speaker 01

  Brandon in his, in Brandon's.

• 1:03:49Speaker 05

  That's what they would wear if they watched your videos.

• 1:03:51Speaker 06

  What'd you say?

• 1:03:52Speaker 05

  I just wore a can of beans on my chest to stop a round if they shot me. That's a demo dude watching your armor.

• 1:04:00Speaker 06

  So for like, like. I would like to say we're all professional shooters here in Brandon's video. How hard was it to recreate just shooting the ear?

• 1:04:08Speaker 01

  Yeah, well, cuz you had those like leftist conspiracy theories where it's like, oh, well, it was planned. He just wanted to get nicked in the ear, whatever. Literally impossible, like not, not like it's a hard shot. It's literally not.

• 1:04:19Speaker 02

  Cause you did it from 10 feet away and you had to do it, what, three times?

• 1:04:23Speaker 01

  Well, cuz you're talking about like MOA. So it's like one inch at 100 yards. He was shooting at like 150 yards. The gun he was using.

• 1:04:29Speaker 06

  Wind, all these variations.

• 1:04:31Speaker 01

  The gun he was using is like, uh, maybe like three MOA, two MOA, the dot he's using, two extra MOA, like all these things on top of it.

• 1:04:40Speaker 06

  Putting it on a sloped roof on a mag. He didn't have a tripod or anything, right? He's on.

• 1:04:45Speaker 01

  Those scary sloped roofs.

• 1:04:47Speaker 06

  He's bouncing on a mag while he's stressed cuz he knows people are yelling at him from the ground like.

• 1:04:53Speaker 02

  Like accidentally killed that poor dude in the audience.

• 1:04:57Speaker 05

  But stacking what you're saying it is. If a machine is precision shooting with that weapon, that optic, there's five inch variation every single shot. And that's being like gracious.

• 1:05:10Speaker 01

  Yeah, if you were a, a fucking computer, like if you were a Terminator level, level shooter and doing like the best possible, no human, uh.

• 1:05:18The Fat Electrician?

  No human error, literally the air and the machinery and the physics.

• 1:05:22Speaker 01

  Is bigger than your head.

• 1:05:24Speaker 06

  No.

• 1:05:25Speaker 01

  It's an impossible shot to, to fake, which is, it was just so stupid. You get all these people that don't know shack shit about guns that start going on their soapbox.

• 1:05:32The Fat Electrician?

  And then you get people on Twitter just clipping the slow mo footage being like, a YouTuber proved that it was a fake shot.

• 1:05:38Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:05:39Speaker 05

  I even that video, remember I said, it's like, you're gonna have, you should use a piece of ham for the ear because people are gonna see the ballistic gel rip.

• 1:05:47Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:05:47Speaker 05

  That was one of my things I said during the video, like, ah, they're gonna see the ripple and be like, see, it's fake and sure as shit.

• 1:05:54Speaker 01

  Dipshits.

• 1:05:56Speaker 06

  Ear tissues, cartilage completely different.

• 1:05:58The Fat Electrician?

  Cartilage, little bit different density than human skin.

• 1:06:01Speaker 01

  Don't hate journalists enough.

• 1:06:03Speaker 02

  Yeah, dude, you get these fucking journalists who have never done any kind of shooting, which we saw from like people we've had out at the range before. Never done any type of shooting and they're like, no, it was fake. This is all fake.

• 1:06:16Speaker 06

  The shit. What was the part where you were like, oh, this is?

• 1:06:21Speaker 01

  It's not, it's not gonna be that bad.

• 1:06:24Speaker 06

  It was, it was two weeks later, I think. And like, I was, I was actually pretty stressed for two weeks. I don't want to be associated with that. That sucks. You know, like someone died. Also, it was just like a bad deal all around. But it was two weeks later and everyone just forgot about it. Like, everybody was really like, we had reporters coming to my house. We had reporters.

• 1:06:43Speaker 01

  To your house.

• 1:06:44The Fat Electrician?

  The second and third assassination really helped you out.

• 1:06:49Speaker 06

  We had someone coming to our house. We had people calling, like reporters calling my phone and sending us messages and calling our work line and like all these people bugging us. Until I put out the video that literally just said, yeah, we, we didn't know him. I don't, you know, support this.

• 1:07:04Speaker 01

  I don't have a militia.

• 1:07:05Speaker 06

  I've never talked to him. We don't, we don't want this. And I was like, he literally just bought a shirt online. We, like, he didn't come to our store. We shipped it to him. And then everyone stopped talking to us, but they were still talking about us a little bit. And then like two weeks later, the world forgot about it and they went on to the next thing. It was literally two weeks and no one talked about it anymore.

• 1:07:25Speaker 01

  I don't know if I ever told you this. I had reporters that I knew, like had people that I had coordinated with from the campaign that were calling me about that, getting comment and shit like that.

• 1:07:34Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:07:35Speaker 01

  Like, it was a media frenzy.

• 1:07:36Speaker 06

  The reason, yeah, they were doing that because they had no information. They wanted, they were interested in me because they had no information. It was like, this is a guy. He, uh, he was this old. Here's his name. And he was wearing a Demolition Ranch shirt. So they were like, that's our only lead. We have to call Matt. You know, like, they had, like, really, if you think about it, we got no information on the guy. We still don't know motive, right?

• 1:07:57Speaker 06

  I don't know if they ever came out with like, why, why he did it.

• 1:08:00Speaker 01

  Incel looking head ass. I don't know.

• 1:08:01Speaker 06

  Yeah. And so that was all they had. And then they, they.

• 1:08:04Speaker 01

  Sorry, was that?

• 1:08:05Speaker 02

  I don't know. He could have fucking touched grass and talked to women a little bit more and then he probably wouldn't have done that, you know? Shinzo Abe type shit.

• 1:08:13Speaker 01

  On that Shinzo Abe grind set? I, I, I loved all the memes that were like Shinzo, like curving the bullet, the bullet, like shit like that. It was just like, Donaldson doc.

• 1:08:25Speaker 02

  I don't I I come on that's that's the oh my soapbox my dad's soapbox again that's the problem with youth right now what did Shinzo say touch grass fucking go out in the sunlight

• 1:08:38Speaker 01

  talk to girls in real life

• 1:08:40Speaker 02

  yeah talk to girls what they do they killed him

• 1:08:43Speaker 05

  touch a grass eat your ass

• 1:08:49Speaker 01

  it's like talk to real women touch grass and they're like the Japanese youth was like mm it's easier to kill you they shot him

• 1:08:58Speaker 05

  we always say like two weeks on the internet in like just shut the fuck up for two weeks or do a really good message and you're like hey

• 1:09:05Speaker 02

  yeah you don't you don't fucking talk about it like cuz I went through that a couple of years ago

• 1:09:11Speaker 05

  he did he did

• 1:09:13Speaker 02

  and then I got I got banned for it off twitch for

• 1:09:16Speaker 01

  really I don't remember that

• 1:09:17Speaker 02

  I think two weeks but what I did was not address it

• 1:09:22Speaker 01

  yeah I mean I never knew about it you didn't

• 1:09:23Speaker 02

  I didn't do anything wrong so I'm not gonna apologize for my words

• 1:09:26Speaker 05

  and I stood I I text you I was like do not apologize just fucking two weeks is gonna be gone and then

• 1:09:34Speaker 01

  that's the shit that kills me though is like people don't understand context matters cuz you weren't saying it in the the context of like you were trying to put someone down or like it was like it wasn't a hate crime

• 1:09:44Speaker 02

  no

• 1:09:44Speaker 01

  you're making a joke to a friend that fucking matters to me

• 1:09:47Speaker 05

  it was to my gay girlfriend

• 1:09:55Speaker 01

  sad notorious trans woman

• 1:10:03Speaker 02

  my best friend

• 1:10:05Speaker 01

  but in a queer like a gay way

• 1:10:09Speaker 02

  but no like like like what you were saying dude when it comes down to it like just don't address it because the people that make the headlines are just pieces of shit

• 1:10:16Speaker 01

  no yeah we almost didn't like we thought do we need to do this I was like I feel like I just need to like at least tell people I don't know him I don't know anything about him he just bought a shirt you know it had to be a mixed bag seeing how many views that video got so quick

• 1:10:29Speaker 05

  yeah the CPM

• 1:10:31Speaker 05

  he's like I'm gonna do a second video

• 1:10:33Speaker 01

  yep what's weird is yeah like it was definitely bad we didn't want that but then like views are fun so like it was I was like I was like yikes I hope this never happens again

• 1:10:49Speaker 05

  Matt dabbled in the dark side of the forest

• 1:10:55Speaker 06

  Yeah, I was like, this is the toughest battles.

• 1:10:59Speaker 01

  Two of his strongest YouTubers.

• 1:11:03Speaker 06

  I don't like it, but like, look at me views that guy. That's crazy. We went ahead and never talked about it again, but.

• 1:11:09Speaker 01

  I was telling, I think we were talking about it yesterday. We're like, you just sent that message to like all of our group chat. There's like all the, all the, the YouTubers, I guess in this group and you're just like, sent the picture of the shirt and you're like, chat, am I cooked?

• 1:11:26Speaker 06

  I was, I was cooked for a couple of weeks and then everyone forgot about it. So it was perfect.

• 1:11:29Speaker 01

  I mean, you didn't do anything fucking wrong.

• 1:11:31Speaker 06

  I know. And that's what it was. They like, I was just, I was worried. Like it would just kill everything and everybody would, you know, like, I don't know. I don't really know what I thought would happen. Like this, the, the, uh, the time sink, if I had to like go through a FBI investigation would have sucked. Um, and just the stress of that, but.

• 1:11:48Speaker 01

  I mean, a president being shot's a thing that hasn't happened in our lifetime.

• 1:11:51Speaker 06

  Right. Yeah.

• 1:11:51Speaker 01

  Like, what is the rulebook for that?

• 1:11:54Speaker 06

  Right. Yeah. I had no idea what to worry about, but I was worried about it. And yeah, it, it turned out for me. Fine. In the end, it was just a weird, a weird time.

• 1:12:03The Fat Electrician?

  Well, the other thing is like, if you were like some crazy person who was like anti-gun, anti-Trump, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's like.

• 1:12:10Speaker 06

  It would make more sense.

• 1:12:11The Fat Electrician?

  And you wanted to like make guns look bad and you got on the internet. It was like Google, biggest gun influencer. Like you're definitely one of the names that popped up. So like, it would make sense to buy your shirt if you were trying.

• 1:12:24Speaker 01

  Or like we said, or if you're just trying to blend into a crowd of Trump people.

• 1:12:27The Fat Electrician?

  Right.

• 1:12:27Speaker 01

  Like, there's, there's so many things and like, I think I said it the other day, like, we don't know what's going through this kid's head other than 300 Win Mag. So like, there's no way to know.

• 1:12:38Speaker 06

  Which by the way, that gun is fucking awesome.

• 1:12:41Speaker 01

  Oh yeah. I think there's some controversy that that wasn't the one that was actually used.

• 1:12:44Speaker 06

  Really?

• 1:12:44Speaker 01

  It might've been like, they said it might've been a SWAT sniper that was using 308. But the secret service 300 Win Mag is dope as fuck.

• 1:12:51Speaker 06

  Yeah. Which one, which one did you buy to make that video with?

• 1:12:54Speaker 01

  $15,000 gun. It better have been the one.

• 1:12:56The Fat Electrician?

  And which one did you buy first?

• 1:12:58Speaker 01

  It was, well, it was the accuracy international one. And then I texted it to Eli. I was like, yeah, I just bought this to make it, uh, cause I bought it from Euro Optic. And uh, I'm like, oh shit, perfect. They've got that one in stock. Awesome. And Eli's like, do you, do you, did you mean to buy the left-handed version?

• 1:13:14Speaker 06

  Oh my god.

• 1:13:16Speaker 01

  The gun alone, not the optic, and it's like eleven thousand dollars. I was like.

• 1:13:21Speaker 06

  And how are you gonna sell that?

• 1:13:23Speaker 01

  I got luckily Euro optic shout out. They have awesome customer service. Uh, I was able to get them on the phone super quick and they swapped out the order.

• 1:13:31Speaker 06

  I was lucky that you didn't realize that when you got it.

• 1:13:33Speaker 01

  That would have been rough.

• 1:13:42The Fat Electrician?

  Speaking of bunker, obligatory bunker's not going anywhere, right?

• 1:13:46Speaker 01

  True, yes.

• 1:13:53Speaker 06

  Yeah, I didn't think about that in the first video, um, that I like didn't address that. It was like, so is bunker gone too? And I'm like, oh no, no. Hey bunker's fine. Everything's fine.

• 1:14:02Speaker 01

  How many influencers do you guys have now? If I can ask.

• 1:14:05Speaker 02

  Forty? A little over seventy.

• 1:14:07Speaker 01

  Seventy.

• 1:14:09Speaker 06

  Yeah, it's cranking.

• 1:14:11The Fat Electrician?

  Paving the way for everybody else. T-shirt company you started in your garage.

• 1:14:16Speaker 01

  Isn't that crazy?

• 1:14:17Speaker 06

  Genius move.

• 1:14:18Speaker 01

  It literally, it feels like the new Avengers where you're like Captain America walking off into the sunset. You give your shield to a black guy and now you got all these other people that.

• 1:14:26Speaker 02

  You give your shield to Cole Young?

• 1:14:29Speaker 01

  That would be so fucking funny.

• 1:14:30Speaker 06

  Cole, hit me up.

• 1:14:31The Fat Electrician?

  And then he gets on and says that Captain America doesn't represent America.

• 1:14:35Speaker 01

  That was so fucking stupid.

• 1:14:37The Fat Electrician?

  Have you seen that?

• 1:14:37Speaker 01

  No.

• 1:14:38The Fat Electrician?

  The dude who's playing Captain America did an interview where he's like, yeah, I don't think that Captain America really represents America to me.

• 1:14:46Speaker 01

  That's for seven?

• 1:14:48The Fat Electrician?

  Uh, no, the guy replacing him, Anthony Mackie.

• 1:14:50Speaker 01

  Like, there's a lot of things I think Captain America can represent and I don't think America's one of them. I'm like, it's literally one of the two words.

• 1:14:59Speaker 06

  It's his last name.

• 1:15:04Speaker 06

  He's old lady America's son. America, comma, captain.

• 1:15:11Speaker 02

  John C. America. Come on, dude.

• 1:15:13Speaker 06

  It's those colors. They mean nothing. Everything, the shield. No.

• 1:15:16The Fat Electrician?

  The outfit? Nah, alright, whatever.

• 1:15:20Speaker 06

  Yeah, bunker's sticking around.

• 1:15:22The Fat Electrician?

  That's good.

• 1:15:22Speaker 06

  No change there. It's gonna keep, it's gonna keep getting bigger, I think.

• 1:15:26Speaker 02

  What is your, you were in the YouTube game for fifteen, sixteen years?

• 1:15:29Speaker 06

  I start, I actually looked this up. I started in two thousand and seven, which was eighteen years ago. But I was just like, I was dinking around on it.

• 1:15:37The Fat Electrician?

  I was in eighth grade, no big deal.

• 1:15:39Speaker 06

  Yeah, I was.

• 1:15:40Speaker 02

  I was in Iraq.

• 1:15:41Speaker 06

  I was, I was a college student. I was in seventh grade.

• 1:15:46The Fat Electrician?

  Eli, I was getting shot after free college that I never went to.

• 1:15:54The Fat Electrician?

  We were, I did, I did a one-on-one interview with Eli just about me or whatever. And I was like, yeah, I have like, I have like two associate's degrees or whatever. He goes, I had no idea you had a college education. I was like, it's an associate's degree. It's not that, it's not that big of a deal.

• 1:16:08Speaker 02

  It's a two-year.

• 1:16:09The Fat Electrician?

  I didn't even graduate high school. It's a huge deal. And I was like, you should go back to GEDs, GED classes, but pull up in your McLaren. That would be fucking hilarious.

• 1:16:19Speaker 06

  I'm just resuming an old save.

• 1:16:29The Fat Electrician?

  Just like Eli pulls up to community college to take entrepreneurship in his McLaren.

• 1:16:34Speaker 06

  A glowing orange legendary item.

• 1:16:39Speaker 02

  Dude, we talked about it for a while, just doing the ASVABs between the group. I still would do that. The military, what does ASVAB stand for anymore?

• 1:16:49The Fat Electrician?

  Vocational, whatever the fuck.

• 1:16:51Speaker 06

  IQ test slash SAT for, to figure out what job you take in military.

• 1:16:55Speaker 02

  Yeah, to get in the military. And so we talked about, all of us should take the ASVAB and just see where your scores are at now. You're gonna be great.

• 1:17:05Speaker 06

  What is it? Is it testing over like stuff you learn in school?

• 1:17:08The Fat Electrician?

  Uh.

• 1:17:09Speaker 06

  Or is it just like how?

• 1:17:09Speaker 05

  Yes and no.

• 1:17:10Speaker 02

  A mix of stuff.

• 1:17:11The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah, it's like, uh, it's like a mix of like an SAT test and like a general IQ test. So like when I took mine, I remember there being like diagrams of like pulleys and levers and it would be like if we turned pulley A, what would be the outcome of the lever at C or whatever?

• 1:17:28Speaker 06

  It's like aptitude.

• 1:17:29The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 1:17:29Speaker 06

  Cause I, I think there's even questions in there about like, and I've never taken it, but like I've heard like shit like the difference between like Phillips and flathead screwdrivers.

• 1:17:37The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah.

• 1:17:38Speaker 06

  And like a general life shit.

• 1:17:40Speaker 02

  For, for us, it's easy as shit.

• 1:17:43Speaker 05

  But then a lot of people.

• 1:17:44Speaker 02

  Eli pulls up in his McLaren to take it.

• 1:17:46Speaker 06

  I, I leave the podcast to go become a part of the Patriot Missile Program.

• 1:17:52Speaker 05

  So seventeen or eighteen years.

• 1:17:56Speaker 06

  Oh yeah, we got way off that.

• 1:17:57Speaker 05

  I know. I love it.

• 1:17:58Speaker 06

  Yeah, I started just dinking around eighteen years ago. Um.

• 1:18:02Speaker 05

  What was your first video?

• 1:18:03Speaker 06

  It's, it's like me and I had a ninety-five Corvette and me and my college buddies would take our cars to the drag strip and just like drive around or we did some drifting at this little elementary school across the street from my house.

• 1:18:13Speaker 02

  It's really cool that you didn't watch his video where he talks about all this.

• 1:18:16Speaker 06

  Yeah. And so it was like, that was literally just shitty videos.

• 1:18:19Speaker 05

  I'm a terrible friend.

• 1:18:20Speaker 06

  My face wasn't on it. I didn't talk. It was just we, someone filmed my car as I did a drag and that was it. But those are my videos. They're terrible. Like I was just uploading for my friends to see.

• 1:18:28Speaker 02

  Was, was your, your big like the thing that blew you up? Was it the shotgun shell thing?

• 1:18:33Speaker 06

  It was a bunch of little things. Um, also if you would have watched my video, you would know.

• 1:18:37Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, I don't watch your shit.

• 1:18:38Speaker 06

  Thanks dude. Um, also you guys are wearing the exact same thing right now.

• 1:18:43The Fat Electrician?

  At the two days in a row.

• 1:18:45Speaker 02

  I just backed you up, man. What the fuck?

• 1:18:46Speaker 06

  I know, but I just noticed again, like pearl snap, green shirt.

• 1:18:50Speaker 02

  At least it's not the same brand.

• 1:18:52Speaker 06

  We do that occasionally.

• 1:18:53Speaker 02

  We don't coordinate it.

• 1:18:54Speaker 06

  It was a bunch of little things.

• 1:18:55Speaker 02

  Saturday?

• 1:18:56Speaker 06

  Oh my gosh. How do y'all do that?

• 1:19:00Speaker 01

  Intuition.

• 1:19:01Speaker 02

  Well, I feel like would it be more gay to text you and be like, green shirt today?

• 1:19:06Speaker 01

  The amount of times you text me where you're just like, uh, by the way, I'm wearing green. I'm like, that's cool.

• 1:19:11Speaker 06

  Never mind.

• 1:19:14Speaker 06

  Uh, but no, we had, we had a bunch of little videos that went viral like over the years. And so everyone would just knock me up another level, basically.

• 1:19:23Speaker 02

  Cause the one that got me on you when it was like, I think it was like 2008, 2009, it was the shotgun shells. What, what are some of the other ones though?

• 1:19:31Speaker 06

  So the, the one before that was, was a baby deer playing with a, with my family's dog. We called it dog versus deer. And my sister, my brother.

• 1:19:39Speaker 01

  2007 YouTube title.

• 1:19:41Speaker 06

  That's all you had to title things back then. My brother found this baby deer.

• 1:19:44Speaker 01

  Not clickbait gone sexual.

• 1:19:47Speaker 06

  Emotional. Uh, my brother brought this baby deer home. My little sister raised it, bottled fed it, raised it with our family dog. They just played all the time. She recorded it one time. Super cute. I was like, let me put that on my YouTube channel. I put it on there. It went viral. It went on Ellen DeGeneres. It went on, uh,

• 1:20:02Speaker 01

  Really?

• 1:20:03Speaker 06

  Anderson Cooper. It went on like mainstream TV.

• 1:20:06Speaker 01

  All the gays loved it.

• 1:20:06Speaker 06

  Yes. Which was crazy back then to get on mainstream TV. And so we got, you know, a lot of views from that. And I, that was the first time I ever made money on YouTube. Like, I was like, this is crazy.

• 1:20:17Speaker 02

  How much money?

• 1:20:18Speaker 06

  Oh, we do.

• 1:20:19Speaker 02

  We have the same story then.

• 1:20:20Speaker 06

  That video made me $3,000 total, which

• 1:20:23Speaker 01

  Which at that time.

• 1:20:24Speaker 06

  It made 700 bucks in one night. Like literally I woke, I would, I was making sense every like, cause back then AdSense would like update in the morning. So every time I woke up at six o'clock to go to vet school, I would see like how much money I made. And it would say like 13 cents, 16 cents. Like it was always a cents. And then I put that video up and then one day I wake up and it says $793. I'm like, what the shit? Like I, I was like, there's no way. And so anyway, over a few years, I made like $3,000 total. But yeah, I kept making videos and then a couple of years later I made custom homemade shotgun shells just for fun. And it went viral and like the big gun YouTube channels at the time, Iraq Veteran and Funker 530, like they reposted it and like shared it, which was crazy to me.

• 1:21:10Speaker 06

  And then I had another viral video and then another viral video and just like every time I would just bump up a level and get a new wave of subscribers and.

• 1:21:17Speaker 01

  And I I know and love Eric from IV. But it's very, very funny for for you to be talking about him like all the big, big guys, you of all people.

• 1:21:27Speaker 06

  So much bigger than me. Like I remember bunker and Eric and Military Arms Channel and. Richard Ryan.

• 1:21:37Speaker 06

  And I was tiny and it was like, I remember the first time 22 Plinkster invited me to Tennessee. That was the first person I ever collabed with was 22 Plinkster. And I started talking with him and he was like, yeah, come up. And I was like, okay, so I took my first YouTube paid trip, like not, they didn't pay for it. I I paid for it. But I was like, I'm paying for a work trip. This is cool. And I went to Tennessee and he got Hickock to come up too. Which Hickock was giant, both in stature and in YouTube views and.

• 1:22:04Speaker 01

  Yeah, he's like a fucking transformer when you stand next to him.

• 1:22:09Speaker 01

  He's like seven foot.

• 1:22:10Speaker 06

  No, he's like, he's like six, eight, I think.

• 1:22:14Speaker 06

  Yeah, same as me. His his son is a foot, a foot, uh, inch tall. He's like six, nine, which is what I am.

• 1:22:19Speaker 01

  You can see them on a crowd. Like if you're at a YouTube range day kind of thing.

• 1:22:22Speaker 06

  You big dudes. And but yeah, I'm sitting there eating pizza with 22 Plinkster in his house. And someone just walks in the door and he hadn't told me that Hickock was coming over. I was like, Hickock is here. And I had like 60,000 subscribers at this time.

• 1:22:34Speaker 01

  Who's that bending under the door?

• 1:22:35Speaker 06

  Yeah. So it was, that was really cool for me is to see these big guys that, you know, later we passed up, but like. I remember them all when they were huge and I I just looked up to them.

• 1:22:45Speaker 05

  No shit. Cause I remember when you came on the corridor shoot, you were even excited.

• 1:22:50Speaker 06

  Cause Freddie was there?

• 1:22:51Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:22:51Speaker 06

  Yeah, Freddie was one of those channels that I watched a ton. Yeah.

• 1:22:54Speaker 05

  If you're an OG YouTuber like Freddie was.

• 1:22:57Speaker 06

  It was so cool to see, you know, Sam and Nico and all those guys that I'd watched forever.

• 1:23:02Speaker 05

  Yep. And they used one frame of you.

• 1:23:08Speaker 06

  All day to get my four second.

• 1:23:10Speaker 01

  What? What was this? What was the?

• 1:23:13Speaker 06

  Reloads. Reloaded three.

• 1:23:16The Fat Electrician?

  This is so funny to me because I'm two degrees removed because like they look up to you and like I looked up to them and Cody was the first one that I ever collabed with on YouTube. When he brought me on on subs. So it's just like.

• 1:23:27Speaker 06

  Different era now.

• 1:23:28The Fat Electrician?

  I'm watching my dad talk about my grandpa.

• 1:23:33The Fat Electrician?

  Damn it. That's how it feels to me.

• 1:23:36Speaker 06

  It's a very incestuous community now that I think about it.

• 1:23:39The Fat Electrician?

  Dad grandpa right now. It's very exciting to me.

• 1:23:44Speaker 02

  So heavy.

• 1:23:45Speaker 06

  I'm on my deathbed right now.

• 1:23:49Speaker 06

  And you're, you're the, you're the kid coming in. You're just like, grandpa's weird. I don't want to be here. I want to go play game boy.

• 1:23:55Speaker 02

  Die already. Get me a selfie.

• 1:23:57Speaker 06

  No, I'm gonna haunt you on episode 300.

• 1:24:00The Fat Electrician?

  Well, no, they're telling all these stories I've never heard before. And I'm like, oh, fucking grandpa was way cooler than I thought he was.

• 1:24:06Speaker 02

  Grandpa used to be cool.

• 1:24:09The Fat Electrician?

  Like my dad's cool to me, but he learned all that shit from grandpa. Awesome.

• 1:24:13Speaker 02

  He's, he's like, who convinced you to do long form?

• 1:24:16The Fat Electrician?

  Cody.

• 1:24:16Speaker 02

  Thank you.

• 1:24:17The Fat Electrician?

  God.

• 1:24:19Speaker 02

  Decision that like, I think you've ever, you've ever made.

• 1:24:23Speaker 06

  Do you know why you have 45 minute fat electrician videos?

• 1:24:28Speaker 06

  Fucking.

• 1:24:29The Fat Electrician?

  Hundred percent.

• 1:24:30Speaker 06

  Cause it was your first trip down, I think.

• 1:24:32The Fat Electrician?

  Uh, no, it was a while later that he really talked me into doing long form. Um, I just, I, I'll never forget like just how it all started. Just Cody hit me up on Instagram's on DM. Hey friend. I was like, hey, what's up? And he goes, you want to come on my podcast? Sure. And that was the, that was it. And now I'm here. So it's kind of crazy for me.

• 1:24:51Speaker 06

  But I remember having that, we, we had that conversation over at the, uh, the wing joint. The fuck, I don't remember where the fuck that like.

• 1:24:59The Fat Electrician?

  You guys bullied me into doing long form content. A hundred percent.

• 1:25:02Speaker 02

  And then now, now the main YouTube channel I watch is you.

• 1:25:07Speaker 06

  Yep.

• 1:25:07Speaker 02

  Fat files. Like I, I love your main channel, but fat files is so good. Like listening about Costco and like Chick-fil-A and all this shit. It's so good. Firearms Direct Club.

• 1:25:18The Fat Electrician?

  I didn't think anybody would, yeah. Also Pepperbox exclusive. I did a whole video on Firearms Direct Club. Some crazy person got involved. Yeah.

• 1:25:27Speaker 06

  And what's crazy is I haven't watched any of those fat files. I, I don't know what my grandson's doing. I don't care.

• 1:25:34Speaker 02

  This is just YouTube generated.

• 1:25:36Speaker 01

  Sitting at this table.

• 1:25:37Speaker 07

  It is really funny. Weight watchers now offers access to affordable GLP ones with our program. Our members are losing more weight with expert nutrition and side effect support. Better results, expert support. Get started today for as low as $25 at weight watchers.com.

• 1:25:55Speaker 01

  But I do you remember the first thing you said when like you were pushing back on the fucking the long form?

• 1:26:00The Fat Electrician?

  No.

• 1:26:01Speaker 01

  I do.

• 1:26:04Speaker 01

  Who's gonna watch me that long?

• 1:26:06The Fat Electrician?

  This is true.

• 1:26:07Speaker 01

  Isn't that crazy?

• 1:26:08The Fat Electrician?

  Well, it was weird because like the only so it was like Cody bullying me for like a couple of months about it. Like a couple of trips down to unsub when I was still just a guest. And then that was like in the back of my mind the whole time. And then we went and my wife gave birth to my second son, Cash. And I was like, fuck, I don't have a video planned. Like, I don't have my little three to five minute video with a joke every four seconds planned out. And I don't have time to do it because I've just like been helping my wife who just gave birth the entire time. Like, gosh, she's so needy. And I was like, fuck it. I like.

• 1:26:38Speaker 01

  So selfish.

• 1:26:39The Fat Electrician?

  She was like, you know, you're there for like a couple of days when your wife gives birth or whatever, like a day or two after, like before and after the fact. And I was like, sitting there and whenever I wasn't like helping, I was like, looking up shit on a Cassius Clay. The guy that we like named my kid after and I was learning more. I was like, oh, this guy's dope. So I was like, fuck it. I'm just going to try a long form video where I go over this guy's whole life and we'll see if it goes. And it was like my best performing video ever.

• 1:27:07Speaker 01

  Brilliant, dude. Cassius Clay video is awesome, man.

• 1:27:12The Fat Electrician?

  And then I was like, oh, oh, I should do that more.

• 1:27:15Speaker 01

  I would listen to any video you made on any topic. And I think we tested that yesterday. I think I gave you an idea and you were just like, oh, tell me more. I was like, I'll watch the video when you make a fucking eight hour breakdown of that company.

• 1:27:29The Fat Electrician?

  That's so funny. I'd like, there's been comments in my YouTube, like, you know, I don't read all the guy, I try to, but there's so goddamn many, but you know, you always open up studio and you can see like, the top 10 most recent comments or whatever. I've just seen so many videos where I could literally watch this guy talk about paint drying for some reason.

• 1:27:43Speaker 01

  Yep.

• 1:27:43The Fat Electrician?

  And I was like, alright, well, I guess.

• 1:27:45Speaker 01

  When are you doing something right?

• 1:27:46Speaker 05

  What are you gonna do, Delta guy?

• 1:27:48The Fat Electrician?

  Which one?

• 1:27:49Speaker 05

  Fucking nerd, the nerd dude.

• 1:27:50Speaker 01

  Dangerous name is one.

• 1:27:51The Fat Electrician?

  Billy Wa?

• 1:27:52Speaker 01

  No, famous glasses, every, uh,

• 1:27:55The Fat Electrician?

  Oh, Mike, uh, Mike Viney?

• 1:27:56Speaker 01

  Viney, yeah.

• 1:27:57The Fat Electrician?

  He's on the list. He's on the shortlist. I think that's what I'm gonna like dig into next after I'm working on a big Billy Wa video. And then after that, it would probably be him.

• 1:28:04Speaker 05

  Hell, yeah.

• 1:28:05The Fat Electrician?

  Billy Wa was like OG Delta boy back in the day. He like wanted to be a paratrooper during World War II, but he was like 12, so they wouldn't let him join. So he like joined for the Korean War when he was 17 and like ended up becoming a Delta guy by like sheer chance.

• 1:28:19Speaker 05

  How do you find info on these people?

• 1:28:21The Fat Electrician?

  Uh, they're like, a lot of them have written books or there's books written about them and like there's declassified documents by this point, but like this dude had-

• 1:28:27Speaker 01

  Forget forbidden knowledge, which means he has to read.

• 1:28:30The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah. It's horrible, but- He, uh, he, he was operational for 50 plus years. And like his, he started in Korea and his final mission was tracking down Osama bin Laden in the Middle East when he was in his seventies.

• 1:28:46Speaker 01

  Also known as, uh, what they knew him at the time was CIA asset, Tim Osman.

• 1:28:53Speaker 05

  It's an inside joke, so.

• 1:28:54Speaker 01

  I don't even get it.

• 1:28:55Speaker 05

  How few are gonna get it?

• 1:28:56Speaker 01

  I know it.

• 1:28:57The Fat Electrician?

  We're, we're, we're three levels deep into the conspiracies thing. That's not an introductory level conspiracy.

• 1:29:03Speaker 01

  It's, it's not a conspiracy when it's objectively true.

• 1:29:06The Fat Electrician?

  This is also true.

• 1:29:08Speaker 05

  Six, 50 or 60, how many years was he?

• 1:29:10The Fat Electrician?

  50 year, over 50 years. He was operational, but he was operational into his seventies.

• 1:29:16Speaker 05

  I did four.

• 1:29:18The Fat Electrician?

  He has an interview in his, he has an interview, he passed away last year, but he has an interview, uh, from two or three years ago where he's well into the twilight of his life. And I forget who did the interview. It was a fairly big person. And he was literally talking about, he tracked down Osama bin Laden on several occasions and on one of them- He was in the room with Osama bin Laden, but he didn't have a weapon on him. And he like talks about in detail in his nineties as a 90 year old man. Talking about back in the day when he was 70 being like

• 1:29:50Speaker 01

  God.

• 1:29:51The Fat Electrician?

  Debating debating with himself on if he was gonna try to kill Osama bin Laden with a pencil. Because it's all he had and he was heavily considering it.

• 1:29:59Speaker 01

  Kills him with a pencil. The towers fall anyway.

• 1:30:04Speaker 01

  Wow.

• 1:30:06Speaker 05

  Brandon Hussein over here.

• 1:30:08Speaker 01

  Congratulations on your nine mams. I'm just, uh, I'm just trying to make Nick laugh at this point is all.

• 1:30:15Speaker 05

  Well, this is the same dude that caught the jackal.

• 1:30:19The Fat Electrician?

  Uh, yeah. So he caught the jackal.

• 1:30:20Speaker 05

  And if you don't know, like the jackal was a, there are movies about him and then

• 1:30:24The Fat Electrician?

  The jackal is legitimately probably the closest living embodiment to a Bond villain. That we've had ever. And like, he was in, I think he was in Egypt and he just like went down to one of the markets in Egypt and like, that's the fucking jackal and like called up his contacts and then he like, like scouted and spied on the dude and figured out like, oh, this guy goes to the doctor every week for some injectable medicine that he needs. And they like staged the whole thing where like the doctor's office got cleared out and CIA operatives went in and were the doctors and the nurses and his medicine that he got injected with knocked him out and he just woke up on a plane in handcuffs.

• 1:31:09The Fat Electrician?

  On his way to France.

• 1:31:10Speaker 01

  Really awkward when you just fucking roofie a random Egyptian guy who looks like the jackal.

• 1:31:18The Fat Electrician?

  I don't know what you're talking about.

• 1:31:20Speaker 01

  I'm a carpenter.

• 1:31:24Speaker 05

  The guy was like in the jackal from 1975 or the seventies was an active assassin doing like high profile missions, which was more insane. Like no one could catch this dude. And then Humbo just ran.

• 1:31:35The Fat Electrician?

  They were looking for him for years and he just like bumped into him and then the Egyptian market.

• 1:31:40Speaker 01

  Synchronicity, bud.

• 1:31:42Speaker 05

  Bad, bad for one.

• 1:31:47Speaker 01

  What was your favorite moments in your entire career of YouTube? You have to have a couple of them.

• 1:31:52Speaker 06

  Yeah, I have, I have a bunch. It's, it's fun when videos go viral. Like, I remember when Custom Homemade Shotgun Shells took off. Like, that was, that was crazy. That was when, like, the Dog vs. Deer, I didn't try to make that one take off. That one just like surprised me. I was like, what the heck is this? And it was fun, but like, then I tried Demolition Ranch. I was trying to like make gun content and like it took off and Gun Channel started sharing it. And I like, that was when I finally broke into the world where it's like gun people that I watch are sharing this video. And that was like, super cool. But then, yeah, there were other highs along the way. Like when we, Donut and I bent barrels and like that video was like really neat. It took off. Donut didn't bend them. I bent them and he just came and put a video.

• 1:32:33Speaker 05

  His bare hands.

• 1:32:36Speaker 06

  But there was like little things like that. Like whenever like we first collabed with all you guys, it gets always fun like meeting y'all and doing something. And the internet, you know, loves it. They're like, I've been watching both you guys forever and it's so cool to see y'all come together. So yeah, there's, there's been a bunch of like highs like that where we make a video that just takes off and the comments, I'll tell you, you're awesome. It feels so good.

• 1:32:53Speaker 01

  I love the alternative too, where people are like, dude, I love your content. You should collab with Demo Ranch. It's like.

• 1:33:01Speaker 06

  Yeah, we should do that.

• 1:33:01Speaker 01

  Ninth time?

• 1:33:02Speaker 06

  We should do that sometime.

• 1:33:04Speaker 05

  What was your, like, top three?

• 1:33:05Speaker 01

  One of these days, Trout will meet Cody.

• 1:33:07Speaker 06

  Top three favorite moments of the last 15 years.

• 1:33:12Speaker 05

  YouTube related.

• 1:33:13Speaker 06

  YouTube related.

• 1:33:16Speaker 02

  Oburs is cool. That was a cool one.

• 1:33:17Speaker 06

  He's a cool guy. Yeah, he's, he's super fun. I mean, like, that is what's cool about YouTube is you get to meet all these people that you've watched on video and you get to figure out which ones are real and which ones are putting on. Oburs is one of the realest dudes ever. Like, that's just who he is. He's just.

• 1:33:30Speaker 01

  Who were some of the ones who were putting on?

• 1:33:34Speaker 01

  You're retiring. Who gets a fast break?

• 1:33:36Speaker 06

  I'm not gonna say it. Not gonna say it.

• 1:33:41Speaker 02

  Well, it's hard. It's hard too, dude, because like you've been around and met so many cool ass people. It's hard to nail down just like a certain like two or three.

• 1:33:50Speaker 06

  Yeah. Well, we've got to do cool stuff that normal people don't get to do, you know, get invited to cool things and getting flown all over the place and like got to fly on a private jet with guns, which was cool one time. Like that kind of stuff is like so insane to me. And so that was, those are some cool moments where I just felt like, man, this doesn't make any sense. I don't know how I'm making money doing this.

• 1:34:12Speaker 01

  Imposter syndrome.

• 1:34:13Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:34:14Speaker 01

  Imposter syndrome.

• 1:34:15Speaker 06

  A hundred percent. I

• 1:34:16Speaker 01

  Private jets are real quick imposters.

• 1:34:18Speaker 06

  I feel like I've had that like my whole career. Like I hope no one figures out that I'm actually a normal guy.

• 1:34:25Speaker 06

  Like, like, yeah, I have all these subscribers. I hope they don't realize that I'm just a normal guy and they're all gonna be like, oh, this guy's actually kind of lame.

• 1:34:32Speaker 01

  I think we've, we've all battled with that at some point too. Yeah.

• 1:34:34Speaker 06

  Unless you're a total narcissist and we're all just a little bit of a narcissist, but varying degrees.

• 1:34:39Speaker 02

  I don't know. It's just like, like grown up, what? Pourish shit. And then just like suddenly you're hanging out with all the cool people we get to hang out with every day. You're going to experience a little bit of imposters.

• 1:34:50Speaker 01

  Even in DC the other day for the inauguration, like I walk into like a party I was invited to and I get flash banged. The first people, I'm dead serious. The first humans I see are like Charlie Kirk, the Speaker of the House, like three senators. And I'm just like, I am in the wrong room.

• 1:35:05Speaker 06

  Yeah. How'd I get here?

• 1:35:06Speaker 01

  This makes no fucking sense.

• 1:35:09The Fat Electrician?

  Never felt that before.

• 1:35:12The Fat Electrician?

  Mine was Salt Lake City. The first time I went out with you guys for the, the Xanax event where I was like, hey, did you want to go to the club with Chuck Liddell with us? So I was like, yeah. It's like the guy from like, like Chuck Liddell, the guy

• 1:35:23Speaker 01

  The Iceman?

• 1:35:23The Fat Electrician?

  Ex- science commercials I watched on Spike TV. Yeah, I do actually like.

• 1:35:29Speaker 06

  That was me last year when Chuck Liddell came to my property. Uh, Junior Dos Santos was there. Goldberg was there.

• 1:35:38The Fat Electrician?

  Same one. Cause like

• 1:35:39Speaker 06

  Undertaker was there. I was like, these guys are all just standing on my land at this big thing we did. This is insane.

• 1:35:45The Fat Electrician?

  Dude, I went up, I've I've like, I've never walked up at one of those events because I don't want to be lame asking for autographs. And the only time I've asked for like an autograph and a picture from somebody was Undertaker. I walked up like, you were on my backpack for like seven years. It's really cool to see you.

• 1:36:02Speaker 01

  And in person, he's based as hell.

• 1:36:04The Fat Electrician?

  He's cool as fuck.

• 1:36:05Speaker 05

  All those guys are Goldberg, like Goldberg is like, again, Bill, Bill is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. But all the same age, kind of like within decade and he's been a giant part of probably most of our lives. You're like, fucking Goldberg.

• 1:36:21Speaker 01

  And he's so fucking nice.

• 1:36:23Speaker 05

  Call me Bill, please.

• 1:36:25Speaker 02

  Well, it's like being around people like that, like what, what did he, what did he do? He, he played for Georgia and then he played like professional football and then he got into, got into doing the wrestling thing.

• 1:36:35The Fat Electrician?

  Then he was the longest yard with Nelly.

• 1:36:37Speaker 02

  Yeah, we, yeah, we make silly YouTube videos. So just being around dudes like that.

• 1:36:42Speaker 01

  And then he was Jewish Santa?

• 1:36:43Speaker 02

  Yeah, he was Jewish Santa. Well, it's just like being around dudes like that. It's like, holy shit, what did I do right?

• 1:36:50Speaker 06

  Yeah, it doesn't feel like that's how we should be, but they're all normal. That's what I've learned too is everyone's normal. Everyone is a person. What?

• 1:36:58Speaker 01

  I don't, everyone's normal?

• 1:36:59Speaker 06

  Everyone, okay, how about not everyone's normal? Everyone is a human being.

• 1:37:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:37:03Speaker 06

  No one's, no one's.

• 1:37:04The Fat Electrician?

  Except for communists.

• 1:37:05Speaker 06

  No one's special.

• 1:37:06Speaker 01

  Like ninety, ninety percent of like the actors, YouTubers, whatever, like they're pretty, like you get that 10% that you're just like, dude, that guy's a animal. What the fuck?

• 1:37:13Speaker 06

  Yep, that's true.

• 1:37:15Speaker 02

  Eli, Eli, tell us, tell, come on. You gotta, you gotta have a celebrity you met and you're like, this person's fucking weird.

• 1:37:22Speaker 01

  Crazy.

• 1:37:23Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:37:23Speaker 01

  Like a crazy person.

• 1:37:25Speaker 02

  Cause you were, you were in the game long before we were, because you did the History Channel show, like you did all your stuff before. You ever met anyone?

• 1:37:32Speaker 05

  Arnold was the only one and but super nice too.

• 1:37:34Speaker 01

  Schwarzenegger?

• 1:37:35Speaker 05

  Yeah, but meeting him was the weirdest, like that was the only time.

• 1:37:39Speaker 01

  Never happened.

• 1:37:39Speaker 02

  Yeah, I didn't know that one either.

• 1:37:40Speaker 05

  Okay. What? Chase, pull it up. That photo is that one.

• 1:37:43Speaker 01

  Oh, fuck you.

• 1:37:47Speaker 05

  That was me moving to LA and within three months, like, hey, you're gonna VFX supervise on a commercial. Cool, sounds good. Boom, show up, reading script. And it's for a British company. I'm like, oh, okay. What is it? Okay, there's a fucking lizard of some kind or something. Like, got it, got it. And Arnold Schwarzenegger's like, oh, it's British, so just going to VFX like Arnold or something like that. And then Arnold rolls up, I was like.

• 1:38:18Speaker 05

  Walked up to the director, he was like, yo, what? Like, we have actually Arnold Arnold, he's like, oh yeah, that's that is part of this. So you're just gonna be, uh, talk to him like blah, blah, blah. Cool. Did my job the entire day. Got to watch how Hollywood interacted with a dude to that level. And then got to see a completely different low, like.

• 1:38:38Speaker 01

  You look like my housekeeper.

• 1:38:44The Fat Electrician?

  You move my yards.

• 1:38:47Speaker 01

  No, it's a little bit more threatening if you know the story of this housekeeper.

• 1:38:50Speaker 05

  But it was like, they don't even have a, they have standards, they have everything. And then a stylist on set for specifically him on that scene to trim his hair proper. I was like.

• 1:39:00The Fat Electrician?

  You gotta do a blackface for bodybuilders just right.

• 1:39:04Speaker 05

  And then walking up and I was like, hey man, can I get a? His security got along with, they were all soldiers, like previous. So got along with them and then I was like, hey, can I ask him for a photo at the end of the day? Cause no one, that's a big no-no. A lot of the times he's like, oh yeah, actually, yeah, fucking do it, bro. Went and say, hey man, I straight up got nervous on that one. He's like, hey, can I have a photo? He's like, yeah, come here, bro. I was like, look what you do with the trips.

• 1:39:32Speaker 05

  They snapped it for me and went about my business.

• 1:39:34Speaker 01

  Cool.

• 1:39:35Speaker 05

  Wild, wild, but, uh, normal. I, I don't know. I got lucky. I got surrounded by a great group of dudes for who I've met. And for the most part.

• 1:39:49The Fat Electrician?

  Not too many shit. My, I think, I think mine's Nico for sure. Cause like, I was off the internet for like 10 years straight, like doing electrical shit and call it, yeah. And like, when I first got on TikTok, like Nico was by far and away the biggest military content creator on TikTok. So he was like massive. And then we met him in Salt Lake City and you guys were there. And I was like on edge about it. I was like, I don't think I'm gonna like Nico Ortiz. Like, we're not gonna get along. He's not gonna like me, whatever, whatever. And like, I remember the, I remember the second I fell in love with Nico Ortiz. Cause like, I remember there was a bunch of college frat kids at the pool table. And you had already went and set your quarters down to play next. And which is like the international symbol for like, I have next.

• 1:40:33The Fat Electrician?

  And they were trying to cut you in line and Cody was like. Fairly aggressive. Cody was sitting there stewing.

• 1:40:40Speaker 01

  We were gonna get in a fight.

• 1:40:41The Fat Electrician?

  About the potential of these college kids cutting him in line. And Nico was also not stewing, but like he was very alert. And I walked up to Nico, I was like, what's going on? He goes, oh, I think Cody's about to get in a fight. And if that happens, I'm double leg drop kicking that guy first. And I was like, I fucking love Nico.

• 1:41:00Speaker 01

  It was cause like his content, I was like, man, I wasn't sure I was gonna get along with him. I was like, man, I don't know. Like, it seems like his personality, like based on his personality online. I'm like, man, I don't know if we're gonna vibe. And he's like the nicest human who has ever lived. And I, I literally, he was one of those guys where I felt embarrassed that I thought I wouldn't like.

• 1:41:19The Fat Electrician?

  Same.

• 1:41:19Speaker 01

  You prejudged.

• 1:41:21Speaker 05

  Same. When we invited him on the first charity stream, he did, he killed on the charity stream. He raised the second most, I think. And again, it was, I did not know about the TikTok shit. So I just went off, invited him off of Twitch, was like 150 live viewership. And then his YouTube was at like 50,000. Text him on IG, he's like, hey, man, Bob, love what you're doing. Here, hit me up. And he's like, well, hey, I don't give my number out, call this number instead. It's mine, I was like, who the fuck is this dude? He has like 150 viewers. And then I got on the phone, we're talking, he's like, so what's your main thing? He's like, TikTok. I was like, oh, what are you on TikTok? He's like, 3 million. I was like, I'm so sorry, bro. I was way off. Now this explains a lot more.

• 1:42:03Speaker 05

  Came down, raised the second most amount of money for veterans and just a good dude. He had a blast. I was like, okay, this is a homie for life.

• 1:42:12Speaker 02

  No, Nico Ortiz is like, such a solid fucking guy. And dude, he's crazy on the internet, but like you guys seriously follow him. Nico Ortiz, awesome.

• 1:42:23Speaker 01

  And he'll, he'll tell it to you like it is too. Where he's like, he's not worried about your feelings, where he's just like, oh yeah. Like, I was worried I fucked this up. He's like, well, you did.

• 1:42:32Speaker 01

  You know, like, but that's cool. We got it. We got it. We're good. It's gonna work past that. He's like, but you did fuck it up.

• 1:42:41Speaker 02

  Well, he called me and Brandon one day and he's like, you want to go to this bare knuckle fight up in?

• 1:42:45Speaker 01

  No, it was the Jake Paul fight.

• 1:42:48Speaker 02

  Was it the Jake Paul?

• 1:42:48Speaker 01

  I think it was Jake Paul.

• 1:42:50Speaker 06

  Which one?

• 1:42:51Speaker 01

  Uh.

• 1:42:52Speaker 06

  I went to one of those.

• 1:42:53Speaker 01

  Yeah, we went. It was the one we saw.

• 1:42:54Speaker 06

  I went to the one in Ohio.

• 1:42:56Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:42:56Speaker 01

  It was in Dallas, I think. I don't remember where it was.

• 1:43:01Speaker 02

  I don't know. Nico, Nico's awesome though. He invited us up to this fight.

• 1:43:04Speaker 01

  And it was like good tickets.

• 1:43:05The Fat Electrician?

  I can't remember if it was Nico or Jake that was telling me the story about hanging out with Chuck Liddell in Las Vegas. Where like, they're like, you don't understand Chuck Liddell owns Las Vegas. And like, I don't know how much of this I can like say, so I'm gonna censor like the casino name, but he's like, Chuck was driving and we went to behind XYZ casino and he pulled up to shrubs. Like a wall of shrubs by the sidewalk, but the sidewalk had a cutout. And he called a phone number and then the fucking shrubs opened. And he's like, and then he drove his car up in and it's like a cul-de-sac of mansions hidden behind XYZ casino.

• 1:43:48The Fat Electrician?

  And we hung out in this house a little bit with some people. I don't know who they are. And then Chuck's like, let's go to this casino. And they walked through every security guard knew who he was and just like nodded and opened velvet ropes. And then we went on the roof and a helicopter picked us up and took us to a different casino.

• 1:44:07Speaker 01

  I don't know. Maybe, maybe we all just got lucky with the people we surround ourselves with, but we do know some cool people that are so down to earth. Like Chuck is one of those guys who's just like, he's probably the chillest legit celebrity I've ever met.

• 1:44:19The Fat Electrician?

  Oh, for sure.

• 1:44:21Speaker 01

  He doesn't give a fuck, dude.

• 1:44:22The Fat Electrician?

  No, he's awesome.

• 1:44:24Speaker 01

  He's rad.

• 1:44:25Speaker 02

  There's some stories in Key West I can't tell you guys right now.

• 1:44:29Speaker 01

  I can't tell half my Chuck stories, dude.

• 1:44:35Speaker 01

  But he's so fucking nice.

• 1:44:36The Fat Electrician?

  The imposter syndrome, when you're just like, I cannot believe this is happening right now.

• 1:44:41Speaker 05

  Majority of our life now.

• 1:44:43The Fat Electrician?

  I'm here for this.

• 1:44:45Speaker 01

  Like dial up mode, you're like, I'm pretty sure I'm hallucinating.

• 1:44:50Speaker 06

  He's the one that kept me out of the fucking fight at that, that one night. He went up and told the college kids, he's like, this is Cody's table.

• 1:44:59Speaker 05

  Weird, weird they gave, weird they gave up on that. Weird it was Cody's table after that.

• 1:45:06The Fat Electrician?

  Also, kinda mad. I mean, just gonna throw it out there. If I got in a bar fight with Chuck Liddell, that would be bucket list.

• 1:45:13Speaker 01

  I think we said that because we were all chatting, because this was like an ordeal that happened over the course of 10 minutes. It's like, we're all just like having side conversations with like, all right, well, we're about to throw down. And you're like, yeah, but we're about to throw down with Chuck Liddell. That's pretty fucking cool, actually.

• 1:45:30Speaker 05

  Chuck walks up to Cody, he's like, Cody, it's your table. Cody's like, they called you gay.

• 1:45:37The Fat Electrician?

  Well, even just like, so like, I was very new at the time when we went to Salt Lake City. Like, that was my first outing, literally other than coming to unsub, which at the time was in Batty's dining room or living room or wherever the fuck. And like, we were at that restaurant and Chuck's like, I got a buddy that owns a nightclub. You guys want to go? Well, yes. And we go and like, this nightclub is packed. And then like, eight security guards literally do this and just come pack to the crowd and cordon off this little area, like for us with some couches and like put red velvet ropes up. And I was like, this is wild. And then like, people start coming back from the kitchen, holding coffee tables. And the coffee tables were covered with like appetizers and booze,

• 1:46:21The Fat Electrician?

  like just pre poured shots and beers and just like setting them by the table. And I was like, what the fuck is happening right now?

• 1:46:28Speaker 06

  It's crazy that, yeah, Chuck Liddell being somewhere just makes the restaurant owner, the bar owner like so excited because like Chuck Liddell is there. So, everything's free for Chuck because he makes all the other dudes want to come hang out at that bar.

• 1:46:40Speaker 05

  This is wild. You have that level of, like Chuck, I couldn't even imagine Tom Cruise could call.

• 1:46:46Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:46:47Speaker 05

  He could call any restaurant, mom, pop, whatever. He's like, hey, Tom Cruise wants to eat here right now.

• 1:46:51Speaker 06

  They're like, definitely.

• 1:46:54Speaker 01

  Also, specifically with Chuck, all of the bouncers know who he is.

• 1:46:58Speaker 06

  Yeah, they all watch that. So they just think it's cool just to them. Yeah.

• 1:47:03Speaker 01

  When we did the range day after.

• 1:47:04The Fat Electrician?

  All the bouncers want to get in a bar fight with Chuck Liddell also. I'm like Chuck Liddell and the staff team. I get home team advantage anywhere I go with Chuck.

• 1:47:15Speaker 06

  Which was basically after the range day.

• 1:47:19Speaker 06

  What was one of the craziest shot show experience? I think all of us have. That's probably our most wild experiences, but. Yeah, were you going there and like? I walked through some casinos with Chuck Liddell. That was weird. Um, actually on the floor shot show, Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr. Was there and I went with him. And so we had all the secret service guys around us. It was just me and a couple of guys and Donald Trump Jr. And I'm just like, I didn't really know him. I was just following him through. We were all going to same place. And we walked through a whole shot show to go to Zach Brown's booth. And I was like, this is the weirdest shit ever. Like I have secret service walking around, like they were around me. So that I could go with Donald Trump Jr. To Zach Brown's booth. And I was like, what is happening right now?

• 1:48:02Speaker 01

  It feels like Mad Libs.

• 1:48:03Speaker 06

  Yeah, this, this doesn't make sense. Like, yeah, you're adding all those weird things in. We had a Clint was there. We're having this event. Not a, not event. It was a, like a lock in at bunker. We were like, let's all go to the bunker. Just the boys. We're all gonna just drink and hang out.

• 1:48:18The Fat Electrician?

  A lock in like it's church?

• 1:48:22Speaker 06

  It's, it is that like, well, I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, we weren't that now. We have had lock in. We're just like, we just spend that.

• 1:48:28The Fat Electrician?

  Let's all get drunk, read scripture, make tea shirts.

• 1:48:31Speaker 06

  Bring air mattresses to bunker and we just party until it's late. Then we all sleep on the floor and go home.

• 1:48:37Speaker 01

  To the New York Times, the demolition is a cult.

• 1:48:39Speaker 06

  Yeah, that's true.

• 1:48:41Speaker 04

  Honey, that flu keeping you up?

• 1:48:42Speaker 00

  Yeah, I don't got this.

• 1:48:44Speaker 04

  You need Nyquil Intense Flu. Undo your flu symptoms with Nyquil Intense Flu. The nighttime sniffling, aching, aching fever. Best sleep with a flu medicine.

• 1:48:52Speaker 06

  You do got this. Users directed. Keep out of reach of children. But this time we were just, we had a Christmas parade. We put lights all over my five ton. We drove it through Christmas parade. And then we're like, hey, everyone just come back. We're gonna party at bunker. So we're hanging out at bunker. And JT texts me and he's like, hey, Zach Osborne wants your number or something. And I'm like, cool. I mean, Jack. Once you're nervous, I'm like, cool. So I start talking to Jack Osborne. He's like, hey, it's my dad, Ozzy Osborne's birthday. And he, I thought it'd be cool if you'd say happy birthday. I was like, oh my God, like, Ozzy Osbourne wants like, needs a birthday congratulations from me. And so we were like, well, let's do this big. And I have the five 10, we're at the bunker. And I was like, Clint, what do we have here that we could smash? And Clint's like, well, we got a couple pallets of like water.

• 1:49:36Speaker 06

  And I was like, pile it up, let's go. And so we're in the parking lot and I like boosted launched this giant 20,000 pound truck through this giant pile of water bottles. And it goes everywhere. And I'm like, happy birthday, Ozzy. Love you, man. And we send that off. And then like 10 minutes later, Ozzy Osbourne sends us a video message back. And he was like, demolition ranch, I love your show, la, la, la, la, la, like. I thought it was gonna be, how, how did you get this number?

• 1:50:03Speaker 06

  But he sends us this video and he says, he goes, thank you. He, he's a little old and a little, a little spacey, but he's like, thank you for the birthday. Congratulations. And he's like, I love your show, demolition. And like me and Clint and all of the bunker bros are there. We're just like, yeah. It was like the coolest thing ever. And then we just partied hard the rest of the night. It was crazy train on a level.

• 1:50:29Speaker 05

  I didn't know this at all.

• 1:50:30Speaker 06

  That was so cool. And like, it looked like, I, I was like, the best thing that ever happened. We just partied so hard the rest of the night. It's like, that kind of stuff is all I needed to just feel like on top of the world. Like, that's all I listened to in high school, you know, it was like Black Sabbath, let's go.

• 1:50:45Speaker 05

  That's fucking wild.

• 1:50:47Speaker 06

  I still got, I'm gonna show, I'm gonna show my grandkids that video someday. What are we doing?

• 1:50:52Speaker 05

  Who's that?

• 1:50:53Speaker 06

  Did you ever post it? No, I never posted it. I've never talked about it online. That's kinda cool. That one was for me. That's kinda cool. But now that I'm quitting, everyone can have it.

• 1:51:03Speaker 05

  Jake, pull it up.

• 1:51:04Speaker 06

  Yeah. Well, that was, that was one that was like just a personal one that I thought was so cool. That's awesome. I didn't even know about that. No, I, I've literally never showed anybody.

• 1:51:13Speaker 05

  How was that like seeing that?

• 1:51:15Speaker 06

  It was crazy. We still say happy birthday, congratulations.

• 1:51:18Speaker 07

  That's why we laugh so hard when he says it.

• 1:51:21Speaker 06

  Happy birthday, congratulations. Demolition. Demolition, I love your show. It's my kind of show. It was crazy. And yeah, like being in this world, you realize like,

• 1:51:36Speaker 07

  Like y'all can't go anywhere without being recognized, right? And in the grand scheme of like fame, you're not that famous, right?

• 1:51:44Speaker 06

  Kind of.

• 1:51:45Speaker 07

  Still just a small YouTube thing, but then freaking the guy who invented heavy metal music.

• 1:51:51Speaker 06

  The Prince of Darkness.

• 1:51:52Speaker 07

  The Prince of Darkness.

• 1:51:54Speaker 06

  The Batbiter?

• 1:51:54Speaker 07

  That bat ran over a pallet full of water, like that's a cool freaking experience, like.

• 1:52:01Speaker 06

  I'll send it to y'all, it was fun.

• 1:52:02Speaker 01

  That's fucking wild.

• 1:52:04Speaker 06

  The closer you get to the top, the smaller the world gets and it's really creepy.

• 1:52:08Speaker 02

  That's wild. That is the first, I'm like.

• 1:52:12Speaker 01

  But imagine how guys like Brad Pitt feel.

• 1:52:14Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:52:15Speaker 01

  Like, can he ever go to Olive Garden?

• 1:52:18Speaker 02

  Can he go anywhere?

• 1:52:20Speaker 06

  I was telling someone about this, this week, I actually use Brad Pitt because he's like, he's one of the most popular dudes ever. I was like, yeah, like I get noticed a lot. You guys get noticed a lot when you're out in the real world. Can you imagine what a top tier, A-list celeb gets noticed? But then I was like, what if you're Shaquille O'Neal? You're a top tier guy, but also you just look different. You're giant, like you're gonna get noticed anyway because like, who's that seven foot person over there? And you're like, oh, it's freaking Shaq. He's worldwide renowned and he just looks different than the average person. Like that guy can never go anywhere.

• 1:52:49Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:52:49Speaker 06

  You can't have a normal night.

• 1:52:50Speaker 01

  He didn't go to that fucking gun buyback.

• 1:52:52Speaker 06

  Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah.

• 1:52:54Speaker 01

  His own gun buyback, right? We all went to Dallas because it was like Shaq's gun buyback. We're just like, where the fuck's Shaq?

• 1:53:00Speaker 05

  It's nice and warm, not rainy and cold the entire time.

• 1:53:03Speaker 02

  I know, we're just getting pissed on the whole time. It's cold as.

• 1:53:07Speaker 01

  That was, that, that was a core memory though. I enjoyed that with you boys.

• 1:53:10Speaker 06

  That was fun.

• 1:53:10Speaker 01

  Would have been better with Shaq, but. Would have been better if you hear Eli's just like, where's my giant black man?

• 1:53:15Speaker 02

  Sounds like an Eli thing.

• 1:53:18Speaker 02

  If you guys didn't see that video, that was, that was a fun one. It's on Brandon's channel.

• 1:53:22Speaker 06

  Did y'all do two of those buybacks?

• 1:53:24Speaker 01

  We did one in San Antonio because we're crashing gun buybacks, trying to like buy guns from people. And then, uh, like the first one went really good in San Antonio and then we went to Dallas to do another one because the video did so fucking well. And it was the one that Shaq sponsored and we were all just like Dallas, Dallas.

• 1:53:40Speaker 02

  Dallas.

• 1:53:40Speaker 01

  And then we went and it was just like 30 degrees and pouring rain, like misting, misting rain.

• 1:53:46Speaker 06

  And the cops kick y'all out pretty quick too, right?

• 1:53:48Speaker 02

  Yeah, so it's all of us just walking around, just freezing our asses off trying to buy guns. It made for some good stories. We didn't buy, I don't think we bought that.

• 1:53:57Speaker 01

  No, but we did get to talk to a bunch of people who did and like got some good prices on shit.

• 1:54:01Speaker 02

  Like the most crazy part was the like the pre eighty six. There was one Uzi, right?

• 1:54:09Speaker 01

  That was in San Antonio.

• 1:54:10Speaker 02

  San Antonio one.

• 1:54:11Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:54:11Speaker 02

  The Uzi.

• 1:54:12Speaker 01

  A transferable Uzi, new in the box, still in the styrofoam.

• 1:54:17Speaker 02

  Yep, they were giving it away at a gun buyback?

• 1:54:20Speaker 01

  A machine gun.

• 1:54:21Speaker 02

  It was a hundred dollars.

• 1:54:22Speaker 01

  Did they sell it?

• 1:54:23Speaker 02

  Was it? It was an old lady, right?

• 1:54:25Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:54:25Speaker 02

  She was like, this is in my husband's closet.

• 1:54:28Speaker 01

  But she actually sold.

• 1:54:29Speaker 02

  For like a hundred dollars.

• 1:54:30Speaker 01

  For a hundred dollars. To the police.

• 1:54:32Speaker 06

  It was like, can they take a transferable machine gun?

• 1:54:34Speaker 01

  Cause the police.

• 1:54:35Speaker 06

  Paperwork?

• 1:54:35Speaker 02

  They can take anything.

• 1:54:36Speaker 01

  So crazy. I legally, I don't need, I actually.

• 1:54:39Speaker 02

  What's that thirty thousand? Thirty thousand dollars?

• 1:54:42Speaker 01

  Minimum.

• 1:54:43Speaker 06

  I have one.

• 1:54:45Speaker 02

  Blue and box.

• 1:54:46Speaker 06

  I have one that I bought seven years ago and I paid fifteen for it. Um, but it's a junky one. It's not like a name brand one.

• 1:54:54Speaker 02

  We shot that in Dallas when we flew.

• 1:54:57Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah, you were there.

• 1:54:58Speaker 01

  With the helicopter.

• 1:54:59Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah, shit, the Triarc.

• 1:55:00Speaker 02

  You guys did a drive by with a plane?

• 1:55:03Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 1:55:03Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 1:55:04Speaker 01

  It remember? Cause it didn't run very well.

• 1:55:06Speaker 02

  No.

• 1:55:06Speaker 06

  I just remember outside the gas station with the propane tanks.

• 1:55:11Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:55:11Speaker 06

  You're smoking.

• 1:55:12Speaker 02

  Oh, gosh.

• 1:55:13Speaker 01

  That sounds like we had a, that sounds like we had a full.

• 1:55:15Speaker 02

  We're talking about the helicopter event.

• 1:55:17Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:55:17Speaker 06

  Yeah. Brandon, you were there or not there for the propane?

• 1:55:20Speaker 01

  I wasn't there for the propane. I was there for the.

• 1:55:22Speaker 02

  Who was smoking on top of the propane tank?

• 1:55:24Speaker 01

  Who was?

• 1:55:24Speaker 06

  Alex Zedra, Leon Lush.

• 1:55:26Speaker 02

  It was Lush. I think it was Leon.

• 1:55:28Speaker 01

  It was probably Leon.

• 1:55:29Speaker 02

  Yeah, cause we're all, we're all.

• 1:55:31Speaker 06

  Do you know this?

• 1:55:31Speaker 02

  This is the first time.

• 1:55:32Speaker 06

  No, trust me. Leon Lush would be smoking on top of a propane tank.

• 1:55:37Speaker 02

  This was the first ever time.

• 1:55:38Speaker 01

  It's the first time we really like met that.

• 1:55:40Speaker 02

  Really?

• 1:55:41Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:55:41Speaker 02

  Yeah. It was a Triarc helicopter shooting event.

• 1:55:44Speaker 01

  Do they still make guns?

• 1:55:45Speaker 02

  I rode up with you.

• 1:55:46Speaker 01

  I don't know.

• 1:55:47Speaker 06

  If they still.

• 1:55:47Speaker 02

  We rode up together.

• 1:55:48Speaker 01

  We did?

• 1:55:49Speaker 02

  Remember?

• 1:55:50Speaker 01

  I don't remember, obviously. But no, that's right. Yes.

• 1:55:53Speaker 02

  I was like, oh, you're back this cuz I was on the way and I drove to your house. I'm like, man, I should have not drove to your house cuz it was on the way. I went the opposite way.

• 1:56:03Speaker 06

  That was probably the first time we really hung out a ton and I I bet I was like, oh, it's gonna suck being in the car with this guy for so long, but you're obviously very easy to talk to.

• 1:56:12Speaker 01

  I was very starstruck that one cuz I think it was one of our first times like really hanging out, hanging out. I had never met you before and like I'm like Eli's older has been in the industry for like longer than I have. So I'm just like, I don't know what I'm doing here.

• 1:56:26Speaker 06

  That's a perfect example of something that we got to do just because we're YouTubers. We got to just for free, get in helicopters and shoot guns out of them. Like I'd never done that before. That was crazy.

• 1:56:35Speaker 02

  Oh, that was the first time you talked about snapping puppies necks.

• 1:56:38Speaker 06

  Did I do that?

• 1:56:39Speaker 02

  What?

• 1:56:39Speaker 06

  No.

• 1:56:41Speaker 02

  No, that was the first time. That's where the joke comes from where you said, I've killed so many puppies.

• 1:56:47Speaker 05

  At a Denny's or something.

• 1:56:49Speaker 02

  I remember.

• 1:56:49Speaker 06

  That's probably true. Yeah. Yeah.

• 1:56:52Speaker 02

  That's the note he's going to go out on.

• 1:56:54Speaker 06

  Give it up.

• 1:56:56Speaker 02

  But yeah, we're we're so we're all staying at like a hotel next to this gas station and we go up to the gas station. And I can't remember who it was was smoking next to the propane tank. Was it Leon?

• 1:57:08Speaker 01

  A hundred percent Leon.

• 1:57:09Speaker 02

  He was like smoking cigarettes next to the propane tank. And we're like, wouldn't it be funny if that blew up and we all just died and what they find?

• 1:57:16Speaker 05

  I took this a little bit to realize what he was ashing in. And then when it clicked, we're like, huh.

• 1:57:21Speaker 01

  Yeah, someone was like. In a propane tank?

• 1:57:23Speaker 02

  Dude, it was the the the the cage, the little cage that he had next to the.

• 1:57:27Speaker 01

  Oh, God.

• 1:57:28Speaker 06

  Yeah, someone was just like, that's propane. And we're all like, eesh.

• 1:57:32Speaker 05

  And it's also like eleven, twelve at night and we're.

• 1:57:34Speaker 02

  And we're the dark.

• 1:57:35Speaker 05

  And he's cigarettes behind a seven eleven.

• 1:57:37Speaker 06

  We're in the dark. There's no lights.

• 1:57:39Speaker 02

  He was wearing the baby mask, remember?

• 1:57:41Speaker 05

  Yeah, I forgot about that.

• 1:57:42Speaker 02

  For some reason, they had these like life sized baby masks in the.

• 1:57:46Speaker 06

  I don't remember that at all.

• 1:57:48Speaker 02

  In the gas station.

• 1:57:49Speaker 06

  Oh, he's my shit.

• 1:57:51Speaker 02

  So we're like, if this blew up, they're gonna find a fucking baby mask on a grown man. Ah, it was a it was a wild time.

• 1:57:59Speaker 01

  Holy.

• 1:58:00Speaker 06

  And none of us had pants on.

• 1:58:01Speaker 01

  It was crazy.

• 1:58:02Speaker 05

  Yeah, dude. We were just dicks out.

• 1:58:04Speaker 01

  That was the, that was the same trip that, uh, we missed our flight because I did like an impromptu fan meetup that night in Fort Worth and me and Delance had to, I, I was so broke at the time. I literally couldn't afford to change my flight. I just, it fucked up. So we like, the only thing that my debit card could physically run was the deposit for a rental car. And so me and Delance drove 20 goddamn hours home.

• 1:58:30Speaker 05

  Serious?

• 1:58:31Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:58:32Speaker 05

  Cause we could only afford one day. Between us, we could afford a one day rental and just enough gas between our two cards.

• 1:58:37Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:58:38Speaker 05

  Cannonball run.

• 1:58:39Speaker 01

  We cannonball run it because we, it would, the card would decline the next day. There was not enough money for a second day.

• 1:58:45Speaker 05

  There is a lot of, just for people, it is taking those risks where like, fuck, I gotta, because in your head, it's still, it's like, options?

• 1:58:52Speaker 01

  I'm grinding.

• 1:58:54Speaker 05

  That was 18?

• 1:58:55Speaker 01

  That was six years ago, man.

• 1:58:58Speaker 05

  That's crazy.

• 1:58:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, fuck. Six years ago, I was too broke for a plane ticket.

• 1:59:03Speaker 06

  I, uh,

• 1:59:04Speaker 01

  God, I forgot about.

• 1:59:05Speaker 06

  When I was grinding, I wanted to buy an, uh, FN FS 2000. I thought, that is a cool gun. I want one of those. Uh, I think it'll do good on YouTube. It was $1,600. I found a guy in Austin. I was currently in College Station. It's like a two hour drive. So I was like, I'm gonna drive over there and buy this gun. I talked the guy down to $1,600. And as I was driving, I had an old pickup at the time and I was like, if this truck breaks down, like I was gonna spend all of my money on this FS 2000. And I was like, if this truck breaks down, like, I can't buy the FS 2000 anymore. Demolition Ranch could have been over before it ever started if that truck would have broke down on the way. Cause I would have been like, now I gotta get a tow truck. There goes a thousand

• 1:59:49Speaker 06

  dollars and I'm gonna just head back home and not have a gun. And I would have no gun to start the channel with and start making videos with.

• 1:59:56Speaker 05

  That's a terrifying part. Like every other, have you had any of that?

• 2:00:02The Fat Electrician?

  I'd have to think about it, not off the top of my head.

• 2:00:04Speaker 01

  He's been rich forever, silver spoon kid.

• 2:00:06The Fat Electrician?

  No.

• 2:00:06Speaker 05

  In the dream life. Rich snacking we call her.

• 2:00:10The Fat Electrician?

  I came into this a little bit differently. I had like mine started when I had already had one kid. So like I had a kid, he was like four months old and then I tore my pack and was off work and I couldn't be an electrician. So I was like delivering DoorDash in a sling, trying to make money.

• 2:00:26Speaker 06

  Can you imagine if years before you remember that guy brought me some food one time?

• 2:00:31The Fat Electrician?

  That guy brought me my groceries.

• 2:00:33Speaker 01

  You were still on a Ring cam. Nightmare one rotation, you get your fucking DoorDash and you open the door like today we're gonna talk about.

• 2:00:42The Fat Electrician?

  Today you're micro dosing Wikipedia.

• 2:00:48The Fat Electrician?

  No, so like I did that. So like I was very like, I worked way longer than I probably could have as a full time electrician, like running jobs. And then it finally like came to a head when me and my boss, who I'm still like great friends with, I stopped by and bullshit with him all the time. But he like pulled me in his office, like you gotta work this weekend. I was like, I can't, I gotta make YouTube videos. And he's like, you're gonna have to decide if you want to be a YouTube guy or an electrician guy. And I was like, if you're gonna put me in that ultimatum, I have to go with whichever one pays me more. And he was like so confident and he's like, I'm gonna assume that would be me. And I go, you'd be wrong. And he goes, I guess I'll see you on Monday. All right, sounds good. And then I worked for like six more months.

• 2:01:32Speaker 01

  So the first thing I asked you, Nick, what you do?

• 2:01:35The Fat Electrician?

  Yeah, Cody picks me up from the airport, my first unsub episode ever. I had no idea. I was just like trying to text you guys like, I just landed at the airport. What do I do? I don't even have an address to Uber to or anything. And Cody was the first person to text me back, picks me up in his Raptor like 20 minutes later after I've been standing out in front of the airport. I hop in, no idea who Cody is. I hadn't watched your content yet. It was just like my fans berated me in the comment section. You need to go on the unsub podcast.

• 2:02:02Speaker 01

  Was I even on that episode?

• 2:02:03Speaker 06

  He probably just thought you weren't on.

• 2:02:05The Fat Electrician?

  Cause you weren't a host yet. Yeah, it was the OG unsub host and me and.

• 2:02:10Speaker 01

  I was only on a third of the episodes back then.

• 2:02:13Speaker 06

  Probably thirty three percent on the.

• 2:02:15The Fat Electrician?

  Cody picks me up in his Raptor and there's just that awkward 15 seconds. It feels like forever. And Cody's like, so what do you do? And I was like, I'm an electrician. He goes, fuck, I'm retarded.

• 2:02:32Speaker 06

  Yeah, Clint asked you that, right?

• 2:02:33Speaker 07

  Yeah, first tour of the bunker, it's like, so what'd you do before YouTube? He just looked at me and went, "I was an electrician."

• 2:02:43Speaker 06

  Jenna did something similar, we're talking about, I was talking with Jenna about Kentucky ballistics, and she goes, "Where's he from?"

• 2:02:56Speaker 01

  So many people have done that before, they're just like, "Oh yeah, yeah, Kentucky ballistics, he's in Texas, right?"

• 2:03:01Speaker 01

  Sometimes, I'll give you a hint, where he really lives.

• 2:03:07Speaker 05

  Dude, Matt, thank you so much for everything you've done for the entire community. Been an amazing episode, you don't even have to plug yourself this time, which is fucking weird.

• 2:03:16Speaker 06

  Unsubscribe, bitches.

• 2:03:18Speaker 01

  To celebrate?

• 2:03:19Speaker 06

  I don't care.

• 2:03:20Speaker 05

  What do we do?

• 2:03:20Speaker 01

  We have you a shot of Fireball.

• 2:03:22Speaker 05

  We have to do one too.

• 2:03:23Speaker 06

  Yeah, where are y'all shots of Fireball?

• 2:03:25Speaker 01

  I don't know, I think this is leftover from Jenna and Clint.

• 2:03:28Speaker 05

  What do you want to shoot, Matt?

• 2:03:29Speaker 01

  Excuse me, Clint and Vanessa.

• 2:03:30Speaker 06

  I don't, I want to drive home today.

• 2:03:32Speaker 05

  Oh, okay.

• 2:03:32The Fat Electrician?

  I'll buy you the Uber, you're fine. See?

• 2:03:35Speaker 06

  Then I have to come back and get my truck.

• 2:03:38The Fat Electrician?

  For the 300 episode.

• 2:03:39Speaker 06

  I'll buy you the second Uber.

• 2:03:42Speaker 06

  That's true. Alright.

• 2:03:44Speaker 05

  Do we want to do a shot?

• 2:03:46The Fat Electrician?

  I feel like we have to, yeah.

• 2:03:48Speaker 06

  We have to, it's, A, it's episode 200. That's true, man, that's great, and Eli said, I think off camera, that I was on episode 100. And you'll be on episode 300.

• 2:03:58Speaker 06

  Lord willing, I won't.

• 2:04:01The Fat Electrician?

  It's gonna happen.

• 2:04:02Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 2:04:03Speaker 06

  Pendleton?

• 2:04:04The Fat Electrician?

  Oh, this is good shit.

• 2:04:05Speaker 06

  Oh, it's middle.

• 2:04:06Speaker 01

  It's pretty good.

• 2:04:07Speaker 07

  We're shooting...

• 2:04:09Speaker 01

  Probably shooting something that shouldn't be shot, but whatever.

• 2:04:11Speaker 07

  Very rare on the ball.

• 2:04:14Speaker 06

  That is not enough.

• 2:04:15The Fat Electrician?

  A leprechaun made that.

• 2:04:19Speaker 07

  We also are there with Rodney, on the show.

• 2:04:22Speaker 05

  Oh yeah.

• 2:04:23The Fat Electrician?

  Show, like, to what degree do you guys believe in leprechauns over there?

• 2:04:27Speaker 07

  What do you mean?

• 2:04:28Speaker 06

  Jesus.

• 2:04:28The Fat Electrician?

  Okay.

• 2:04:29Speaker 06

  Eli, those are fucking double manpores.

• 2:04:32Speaker 07

  Are they?

• 2:04:33The Fat Electrician?

  Those are baby shots.

• 2:04:34Speaker 06

  Those are not...

• 2:04:35The Fat Electrician?

  You have to pour four, not three.

• 2:04:36Speaker 06

  Divided up, Eli, come on. Wait, why are you doing four and not five?

• 2:04:42Speaker 05

  Oh, you're doing Fireball, aren't you?

• 2:04:43Speaker 06

  Oh, no, I'm gonna do that.

• 2:04:44Speaker 01

  Oh, he's like, I don't want fucking Fireball.

• 2:04:46Speaker 06

  I want to be cool like all the boys.

• 2:04:48Speaker 01

  Your obsession with Fireball has always been entertaining to me.

• 2:04:50Speaker 06

  Fireball's good, dude.

• 2:04:51Speaker 01

  Oh, fuck you, dude.

• 2:04:52Speaker 05

  Where did that start?

• 2:04:53Speaker 01

  You definitely were an A.

• 2:04:54Speaker 06

  Hey, Fireball, hit me up and sponsor me. Oh, wait, I'm quitting. Don't do it.

• 2:04:58Speaker 05

  Offer him ten million dollars.

• 2:05:00Speaker 01

  Sponsor the Sanders. I know all day I've wanted to be like, what's your next move? Oh, wait, oh, wait.

• 2:05:06Speaker 06

  What do you got? What do you got cooking on the channel?

• 2:05:08Speaker 01

  My family.

• 2:05:11Speaker 05

  That close? That's close.

• 2:05:13Speaker 06

  Just hand him out.

• 2:05:14Speaker 05

  Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.

• 2:05:22Speaker 06

  Man, it's been a good ride, boys. I'm glad you're a part of it.

• 2:05:26Speaker 05

  End of an era, buddy.

• 2:05:27Speaker 06

  This is weird.

• 2:05:28Speaker 01

  Right?

• 2:05:28Speaker 06

  So weird.

• 2:05:29Speaker 05

  This is a weird ass feeling. For real, it's a weird ass feeling.

• 2:05:32Speaker 01

  I feel like you're dying, but you still live twenty minutes down the road.

• 2:05:35Speaker 06

  Yeah, this is, it's crazy. I feel kind of like that, too.

• 2:05:39Speaker 05

  Dude, thank you so much for everything you've given YouTube community, us, like every, we've been in, each one of them, each one of us has been in a video. So thank you so much for that. Exposing us to your community and vice versa. You've just been.

  What you've done for the community.

• 2:05:56Speaker 05

  Yeah, dude, a true pleasure to work with, with everything you've done. Like, from the bottom of all our hearts, thank you so goddamn much.

• 2:06:02The Fat Electrician?

  Eli said, "Community."

• 2:06:04Speaker 01

  Well, yeah. It genuinely, though, it's, it's been a privilege to know you.

• 2:06:08Speaker 05

  Yeah. Thank you, man.

• 2:06:10Speaker 06

  Thanks, boys.

• 2:06:19Speaker 06

  That was like the Titanic thing with the musicians, you know?

• 2:06:22Speaker 05

  That was really smooth. Holy shit.

• 2:06:24Speaker 01

  It's been a privilege playing with you tonight.

• 2:06:26Speaker 05

  Thank you so much.

• 2:06:27Speaker 01

  I love we, we say shit like that. We, seriously, we'll still hang out.

• 2:06:32Speaker 06

  I still want to hang out.

• 2:06:33Speaker 01

  Something tells me you've got a lot more free time coming up.

• 2:06:35Speaker 06

  We live twenty minutes from each other. We're like, we'll never see you again.

• 2:06:37Speaker 05

  Rick Camber pants dark in a gun truck.

• 2:06:41Speaker 06

  I don't know, dude. End of an era, man. It's weird. Yeah.

• 2:06:45Speaker 01

  Pretty weird.

• 2:06:46Speaker 06

  I'm excited to see what you guys do, though. Tear it up, boys. Tear it up.

• 2:06:50Speaker 05

  All right, we'll leave it to the next generation.

• 2:06:52Speaker 06

  Yeah, this guy, our grandson.

• 2:06:56The Fat Electrician?

  I'm trying.

• 2:06:58Speaker 05

  Cody closes out.

• 2:07:00Speaker 01

  I'm sad.

• 2:07:00Speaker 05

  I know. It's not. No. It's like the hardest thing. I'm like, this is an actual hard one. This is a weird feeling. This is the saddest I've been on fucking the podcast.

• 2:07:11Speaker 05

  I was like, oh, this sucks.

• 2:07:13Speaker 02

  Thank you, guys, for joining the Unsubscribe Podcast. I was joined today by Eli Double Tab, Nick Fedelecrician, Demolition Ranch, Brandon Herrera, myself, Donut Operator. Thank you so much for being here.

  Wait.

  Oh, no.

• 2:07:31Speaker 06

  I thought we were about to wrestle.

• 2:07:32Speaker 02

  I know. I was like, what's going on?

• 2:07:34Speaker 06

  Oh, no.

• 2:07:37Speaker 06

  What are we doing with the gauntlet?

• 2:07:39The Fat Electrician?

  We've assembled the Infinity Slurs. Go ahead and close this.

• 2:07:47Speaker 06

  We have to collect them all?

• 2:07:48The Fat Electrician?

  No, you gotta don it. We've collected them for you. You get to don it and do the snap to end out your career.

• 2:07:54Speaker 06

  How do you get your hand in this?

• 2:07:56Speaker 02

  Only, only me and Brandon disappear.

• 2:08:03Speaker 06

  It won't go on.

  Hold on, I'll get you the Burger King crown too.

• 2:08:16Speaker 06

  Who's on the plane? As they say, do not go quietly into the good night. Yeah, I might as well create some drama before it leaves, right? Let's get on the news again.

• 2:08:27The Fat Electrician?

  Say your favorite letter really loudly with like seven periods after it and close it out.

• 2:08:34Speaker 05

  Love you all.
