  I could have never seen that looking like Weird Al Yankovic.

• 1:01Speaker 01

  Dude, thank God for switches or I'd be dead right now.

• 1:04Speaker 03

  And those out.

• 1:05Speaker 04

  The new Seattle program, free switches.

• 1:07Speaker 02

  The hops.

• 1:07Speaker 01

  You play with them, you lay with them.

• 1:09Speaker 03

  How many impasses do you have at this point?

• 1:11Speaker 01

  Yeah, infinite.

• 1:12Speaker 04

  Eighteen naked cowboys in the showers at demolition ranch.

• 1:37Speaker 03

  Three, two, one.

• 1:44Speaker 04

  We just ruined so much eBay value right now.

• 1:47Speaker 02

  Dude, oh my gosh, sixty dollars in eBay at least.

• 1:51Speaker 03

  Dude, they're like forty dollars right now for a can.

• 1:53Speaker 01

  Collector's item.

• 1:54Speaker 04

  I never would have thought we would have had fucking eBay like second market value on Goth girl spit.

• 2:00Speaker 03

  I got mine rated last week. It's a ten.

• 2:03Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 2:04Speaker 03

  It's in one of those cases.

• 2:05Speaker 01

  PSA.

• 2:06Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:07Speaker 04

  It's gonna be my side hustle. Like I have an entire case sitting at the house and I'm just like, oh hell, man, maybe I can.

• 2:13Speaker 01

  Just cracking them and selling them.

• 2:15Speaker 04

  I feel like that's unethical.

• 2:16Speaker 03

  Treat it like the US government. We can just print it. There are energy.

• 2:22Speaker 04

  That's the problem, Eli.

• 2:24Speaker 03

  Well, no, see, we'll print a whole bunch, but if we give a few cans out to everyone just gets a one can, we're fine.

• 2:33Speaker 04

  Lord, I'm. Welcome to the Federal Reserve.

• 2:35Speaker 02

  Hi, everyone. Welcome to the unsubscribe podcast. I'm joined today by Eli Double Tab, our good friend, Brandon Buckingham, Brandon Herrera, myself, Don and Operator. Thank you so much for being here.

• 2:47Speaker 03

  What's up, bitches? Guess who's a war hero now? Our boy.

• 2:51Speaker 02

  Who got deployed?

• 2:54Speaker 03

  Play.

• 2:54Speaker 04

  It wasn't a technical deployment.

• 2:57Speaker 03

  Play.

• 2:57Speaker 04

  It wasn't a deployment at all.

• 3:01Speaker 03

  Play.

• 3:02Speaker 04

  He'll get it eventually.

• 3:03Speaker 02

  As many fireworks as possible.

• 3:05Speaker 03

  The big D-Day movie.

• 3:06Speaker 04

  Saving Private Ryan?

• 3:07Speaker 03

  Play that one. My brain blanked, dude. The older I get.

• 3:11Speaker 04

  TBI.

• 3:12Speaker 03

  Yeah. My, it's starting to really affect me in life. Who are you?

• 3:17Speaker 04

  No, that was a good time, though. Did a, did a quick, probably like two, three days in Jordan. Went to, went to Oman, went to.

• 3:24Speaker 03

  When? You have to explain the story because it was like a weekend thing and it's awesome that you did it. I gave you like a massive props for going and doing it. I like.

• 3:33Speaker 01

  It's crazy you pulled through. Yeah, the story is interesting. You guys were all, yeah, you got it.

• 3:37Speaker 04

  No, it's fucking, it was.

• 3:42Speaker 04

  How you doing, Brandon?

• 3:43Speaker 01

  I'm good.

• 3:44Speaker 04

  That's, it's good to have you back on. It really is.

• 3:46Speaker 01

  Happy to be alive. Yeah, it's been over two years. I appreciate you guys having me.

• 3:49Speaker 03

  It has been two years, which is freaking insane.

• 3:51Speaker 01

  Yeah, two and a half years.

• 3:52Speaker 03

  Okay, go on.

• 3:53Speaker 04

  Jordan. So, yeah, we like with two weeks notice, a friend of ours called us that we've done work with like veteran advocacy and stuff like that. Just like, hey, uh, just in case, you know, I figured I'd throw this opportunity to you. Would you guys like to go out and do a show for, for troops that are deployed in the Middle East right now? I'm like, yeah, absolutely. She's like, no, you don't understand. It's gonna mean a lot to the guys. And wait, did you just say yes? Like, yeah, like a thousand percent. And the way it worked out, like it was, you know, army stuff, super last minute. We didn't even get approved till 10 hours prior. And I was the only one that could actually make it out.

• 4:26Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 4:27Speaker 04

  So I went out to Dubai, then Oman, Jordan, then to the JTC, the base in Jordan, and then out to K Fab and did two shows in both those places and met with a lot of the guys there. It was fucking awesome.

• 4:40Speaker 02

  Well, you did two shows?

• 4:41Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 4:42Speaker 02

  Oh, I thought you just did one show.

• 4:44Speaker 04

  No, I did two.

• 4:45Speaker 02

  Oh, so the, the biggest thing that got me that I felt fucking terrible about because they were putting the, the flyers out like the unsubscribe show is here. So like fat electrician's gonna be here. Eli Double Tab, Don and Operator, and then Brandon shows up there and like, you basically did like a, a standup show for the troops there.

• 5:06Speaker 04

  I've never done standup in my entire life.

• 5:08Speaker 01

  How'd you whip that out?

• 5:10Speaker 03

  Thank you. It was a small crowd of like thousands.

• 5:12Speaker 04

  It was like, I think at K Fab, we had like over a thousand troops there. It was, it was, dude, it was a fucking great time. I love those guys. Like I've always gotten along with the military dudes like super well. So like, that was, that was a lot of fun.

• 5:23Speaker 03

  But, uh, oh, don't worry. Your one request was like, hey, there's no one's high. I can't do a live show.

• 5:30Speaker 04

  Yeah. I'm like, hey, the only time I've ever done a live show was with like five other co-hosts. Like on like a podcast panel.

• 5:36Speaker 02

  We can play off of each other and like tell the jokes with each other.

• 5:39Speaker 03

  It's months in prep getting like, that is a set we work on to get there.

• 5:43Speaker 04

  And I was told, I basically told them like, look, guys, I'm still down to come out. I'd love to meet with the soldiers that are out on the ground. Can't do the show, but I'll do anything else you want. Like serve food, whatever, whatever you want. Like I'm, I'm down to do it. Hand it a microphone like with an hour's notice.

• 6:00Speaker 02

  Because, because we thought they, they offered it to us and we're like, no, like your kids coming into town. Like I wanted to be here for the 4th of July with my kid. And Brandon went out there and you didn't know it was gonna be like an unsubscribe podcast type thing.

• 6:15Speaker 04

  I did not.

• 6:16Speaker 02

  And so we can't riff off of each other like we do in our live shows.

• 6:21Speaker 04

  I did, however, like it was a great time. I think everybody there had a good time. Um, but I did get a video and Chase or friend, please pull it up. Three, two, one.

• 6:36Speaker 04

  Of, because there was a flyer that they put out at K Fab basically saying like unsubscribe podcast coming here at this date.

• 6:43Speaker 03

  With C U M M. It was weird.

• 6:45Speaker 04

  C U M M?

• 6:46Speaker 03

  Yeah, no. The flyer's like coming here. It's like, wow, that's very army.

• 6:50Speaker 01

  Really gonna relieve the troops.

• 6:53Speaker 04

  Relieve the pressure. Yeah. But I, I had to text that to the boys to make them feel bad, but I had the whole crowd. I'm like, actually, while we have the opportunity, because they're like, where's the fat electrician? I had to explain like Nick's whole thing like, I don't want, I don't want to leave the United States. I don't want to leave the US. I don't want to go overseas. Like, okay. I, I have a video of the entire crowd saying, where the fuck is unsubscribe? Like as a chant. Just to bully, bully my friends who didn't go out.

• 7:24Speaker 02

  As you should have.

• 7:24Speaker 03

  We, we owe you all. We owe you. I'll go on patrol with you. By the way, I will do a patrol with you when we go there. If they do that at all. Brandon said he would go to on a patrol.

• 7:34Speaker 04

  I will. I accidentally, I may or may not have committed to doing a jump in Fort Bragg with the 82nd. The static line.

• 7:42Speaker 03

  Let's do like a SF one. So it's like.

• 7:44Speaker 04

  No, dude, we're doing static line. You won't coward. You're jump certified.

• 7:48Speaker 03

  Okay, I have to do one and then you have to also immediately do a free fall.

• 7:51Speaker 04

  Sure, I'm, I'm down.

• 7:52Speaker 03

  Brandon's like, oh, I can't control myself. Just flying and plummeting. He's like, this is way harder.

• 7:57Speaker 04

  The landing's way easier.

• 7:59Speaker 02

  Brandon agrees us all to a fucking hay ho jump.

• 8:06Speaker 04

  It was, it was a fucking phenomenal time. I really, I really did enjoy it. All you guys out there, every single person, like from the, the Texas boys, the, the state guard guys, the 82nd, everybody like our, you know, our contingent, you were incredible. It was top five trips of my entire life. I enjoyed the hell out of it.

• 8:24Speaker 03

  As, as a veteran, I will say thank you so much for doing that. Cause I mean, we discussed it when we were at the, at the racing thing. It was still like, hey, what you're doing is awesome. The troops are gonna be super supportive. My biggest worry was also I'm like, man, I don't want to have them being forced to do something they don't want to. But as you're saying, it was like very positive, which is awesome to hear because you are that break in.

• 8:46Speaker 04

  Cause I, well, I was scared of that.

• 8:48Speaker 03

  You did it for free too.

• 8:48Speaker 04

  Yeah, no, I paid my whole way. I didn't.

• 8:50Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's why I, I love it. And just a giant thank you for doing that. Like from.

• 8:54Speaker 04

  Cause I, I got your concern too. Cause you were like, dude, I, I don't want to go out there and do this like cringe, like mandatory fun. Like you have to show up and pretend you're having a good time kind of shit. But apparently like these guys since the beginning of Operation Epic Fury, they've been like on lockdown. They've not been able to do like re, no, no recreational shit. Like they've just been locked the fuck down. So this is the first time they've ever been able to have a gathering like that.

• 9:18Speaker 02

  I didn't even think about it because we would have like, it'd be those shows or anything. The last thing when you're running missions all the fucking time, you're like, dude, I just want to sleep. I didn't even think about like the opposite effect where it's you're on lockdown. So you have no idea if you could, like you're looking forward to a break. And as you found out, a lot of the, it's hard to get people like any kind of celebrity, A L S B L S YouTuber over there right now versus back in the day. So they really look forward to that. And it was wild. I don't know where, uh, two star general Lambert, what he does overseas, but, uh, you guys found each other and I got a text from him and this is again

• 9:59Speaker 02

  a two star now I deployed with. And he was like, hey, you coming with, am I gonna see you in Jordan on the July 4th? And you did on July 4th, which like you sacrificed your own.

• 10:08Speaker 04

  It was July 4th on the, on America's 250th birthday. Which like I would have loved to have been back in the States. That was, that was my answer to their question. We're like, they're like, yeah, we're having a hard time getting people to go out there because nobody, you know, they don't want to be outside of America on America's 250th birthday. I'm like, yeah, well, neither do these fucking guys. Like they don't want to be out there.

• 10:28Speaker 02

  Eli, the only thing I'm taking away from this is that Brandon hates veterans.

• 10:31Speaker 04

  I know. Clearly.

• 10:32Speaker 03

  That's the message. Brandon goes, and then they cut to you shooting RPG at a plane. Brandon shoots down veterans. It's like, that's what is a joke video. What?

• 10:43Speaker 04

  No, but, uh, uh, yeah, yeah. Lambert, uh, came out to me. Well, not came out to me, but he came up to me.

• 10:48Speaker 01

  He's gay?

• 10:51Speaker 03

  What the hell? He's like, you son of a bitch. Hey.

• 10:56Speaker 04

  But no, he, he came up and he was, he was talking about how you guys had, had chatted a little bit. And, uh, no, that was just, that was fucking awesome. Then I, and I told him like, hey, let's take a picture together. I'll send it to Eli. And then you sent, uh, you sent me back like, oh, give him a hug for me. And it was like eight hours later. I just so happened to see him the next day. Like, oh yeah, Eli, uh, said to, to give you a hug for him, but you know, we, we just met. So I figured, you know, a hearty handshake will work.

• 11:19Speaker 02

  Like, alright, alright. Buckingham.

• 11:23Speaker 03

  Top that story.

• 11:25Speaker 04

  Oh shit, Brandon Buckingham's here?

• 11:26Speaker 02

  Holy shit, he's here?

• 11:28Speaker 01

  I got nothing going on, dude.

• 11:30Speaker 03

  You just got back from also a, a

• 11:35Speaker 03

  USO tour.

• 11:36Speaker 01

  Yeah, my own deployment.

• 11:37Speaker 03

  Yeah. No, you dude, I, homie's been, I didn't realize how many times you've been shot at in the last, guess how many times this dude has been shot at? In the last year.

• 11:46Speaker 02

  Oh, he, he's been running around the section eights though, right?

• 11:49Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 11:50Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 11:50Speaker 01

  Yep.

• 11:51Speaker 04

  Well, you got shot one of the times, right?

• 11:52Speaker 01

  Well, uh, my camera guy got shot.

• 11:54Speaker 04

  Oh shit.

• 11:55Speaker 01

  I hate to say it with a big smile on my face, but.

• 11:57Speaker 03

  Dude, I'll say it for you. His cameraman got shot.

• 11:59Speaker 02

  Is he okay?

• 12:00Speaker 01

  We're having a good time.

• 12:01Speaker 02

  Is he sitting over there right now?

• 12:02Speaker 01

  Uh, no, it's a different guy.

• 12:04Speaker 02

  Okay, different camera guy. Oh, you had to replace him after he got fucking shot, right?

• 12:07Speaker 01

  Yeah, well, he, after that, he was like, fuck Brandon. Not really, but yeah, his name is Matt Offhacker. He's a really cool guy.

• 12:13Speaker 03

  Did you bounce him that day?

• 12:15Speaker 01

  I didn't give him anything. I actually sued him. I sued him for emotional turmoil because he wouldn't stop complaining. So bore it to the jugular. No big deal.

• 12:23Speaker 02

  Alright, the best way to do this, so lead up story wise, why do your cameraman get shot? What do you do?

• 12:30Speaker 04

  Real quick, did you dock his pay for being down on the job?

• 12:33Speaker 01

  Exactly. I was like, why didn't you duck and leave? You know the five rules of dodgeball. It applies with gunfights too.

• 12:39Speaker 03

  I bet you're yelling at the next day. Wow. Okay. First off, how long did it take for you to grab the camera and start recording again? Second, cause he grabbed the camera and recorded himself after.

• 12:51Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 12:52Speaker 04

  Well, I agree with Cody. Let's, let's start with the, start from the beginning.

• 12:54Speaker 02

  Yeah, let's go from the beginning. What, cause we haven't had you on here in like two years. Why do cameramen get shot with you, Bubba?

• 13:02Speaker 01

  Um, yeah. So I do documentaries all around, uh, the country and, and the world. And, uh, the only times that I've been shot at have been when I've been doing documentaries about, uh, different neighborhoods and gangs and stuff. So the time where my cameraman got shot, we were doing a documentary about the Bloodhound Gang, not the, not the band, but the group of rappers in Chicago. And, uh, we were at a music studio called Fort Knox in Chicago at three in the morning and we had, me and this rapper named Skrilla had posted, uh, a picture together at the studio. So I guess people saw that. They stalked us, waited outside the recording studio till 3am.

• 13:36Speaker 04

  For him?

• 13:37Speaker 01

  Uh, I mean, yeah, but it's, he's not from there. He's from Philly. So it really made no sense. And they had, I'm, I don't, I don't want to say too much about it, but they knew, they definitely knew who they were shooting at. You know what I mean? Um, so we left at three in the morning. As soon as we closed the door behind us, uh, I think five gun fired over 60 rounds, close range with switches. And I was with five people, four of them got shot, including my camera guy.

• 13:58Speaker 04

  So. Dear God, what was the range? Like the distance between you and the shooters?

• 14:01Speaker 01

  Probably like 15 yards, 20 yards. It was close.

• 14:04Speaker 04

  That's pretty tight.

• 14:06Speaker 01

  Yeah, it was.

• 14:07Speaker 04

  Cause like the switches are completely useless, like at any sort of distance.

• 14:10Speaker 01

  Thank God for switches or I'd be dead right now. We need to make more.

• 14:14Speaker 03

  That's what I'm saying. Hand those out. It's not free needles, it's that.

• 14:17Speaker 01

  Free needles and switches?

• 14:19Speaker 04

  The new Seattle program, free switches.

• 14:21Speaker 03

  You miss everything.

• 14:22Speaker 01

  But seriously, jokes aside, meth and switches to the US government, um, and the homeless people and the military. And yeah, elect me for Congress.

• 14:32Speaker 04

  Let's refine that a little bit.

• 14:34Speaker 03

  For the military and homeless people, it's a wild into the spectrum.

• 14:39Speaker 01

  It's a big range. Yeah. On, uh, say hi to Eli. We like went over all the, the shootings. So I don't know. I don't want.

• 14:44Speaker 03

  Yeah, get it. No, that's why I want you to talk about that stuff because the shootings, it's what these people love.

• 14:50Speaker 01

  The Chicago one's the most interesting really, but one month before that I was on 37th street in DC, not even filming a video, just doing, um, a music video, or I wasn't doing something for myself. I was just in someone's music video, YBC Dual, who's now passed away. And we just posted an Instagram story and it was like 10 minutes later, someone came up on the hill and shot up the house we were in and shot to the people I was with. So it's fun. It's a good time. You guys want to collab on a hood video together?

• 15:16Speaker 04

  Let's do it.

• 15:16Speaker 01

  You can trust me.

• 15:17Speaker 04

  No, a ride along.

• 15:19Speaker 03

  Type that, don't say them. Just type out, uh, five of the rapper's names without them seeing it. Brandon, don't you look? And then I'm going to make up three words. I'm going to see if you guys can guess which is a real rapper name and which one's fake. Cause he was saying them yesterday. I was like, huh?

• 15:35Speaker 02

  So I don't know why our guest, Brandon Buckingham, loves to go around the section eights with their switches and like,

• 15:45Speaker 02

  you know, their, their, their feeling of, well, if I go to prison, that's okay because that's how my life is. But he still chooses to go around them and it doesn't make sense to me.

• 15:56Speaker 04

  Journalistic integrity.

• 15:57Speaker 01

  I'm a hip hopper.

• 15:59Speaker 03

  Hey, you ever just wake up and felt like your mattress sucks and it beat your ass, punched you in the face?

• 16:04Speaker 04

  That's crazy. Does the mattress also [BLEEP] your mom?

• 16:07Speaker 00

  You ever wake up feeling like you slept in a swamp because you're disgusting nasty ball sweat?

• 16:12Speaker 04

  I see most of you on Reddit, so I know you have.

• 16:15Speaker 03

  Time to break up with that mattress.

• 16:17Speaker 00

  Get divorced from your mattress. Get a ghost bed.

• 16:20Speaker 04

  [BLEEP] that hoe. You're worth more. You're so strong.

• 16:23Speaker 03

  Well, guess what? Ghostbed just launched their new mattress line.

• 16:27Speaker 00

  It's designed to keep you cool, supported in all the right areas. If you catch my drift, your giant [BLEEP] hog and help you get sleep.

• 16:35Speaker 03

  These beds are built with its patented cooling technology, Brandon.

• 16:39Speaker 00

  So you can keep your giant [BLEEP] hog cool.

• 16:42Speaker 03

  Did you know they're built to last?

• 17:45Speaker 03

  I'm a hippie ditty hippie.

• 17:46Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 17:47Speaker 03

  Well, you haven't waited a while after the last one, you were like, you know what? Fourth time. Fool me.

• 17:53Speaker 01

  Yeah. The fifth time I'm shooting back. The fifth time I'm going to have the unsub boys with me and they're going to be eating some serious lead of return fire.

• 17:59Speaker 04

  You're, you're going to roll deep.

• 18:01Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 18:01Speaker 03

  Let me just pull up in like a black mark SUV that's bulletproof and it's just like, please start shooting at him. Please engage. Just everything's aimed, ready to go.

• 18:11Speaker 02

  I know. I don't want to kill your friends, buddy. You know, we shoot straighter than them.

• 18:15Speaker 01

  Well, the friend, my friends aren't shooting at me. It's the, it's the enemies of my friends that are shooting at us.

• 18:19Speaker 04

  The hops.

• 18:20Speaker 01

  Yeah, the hops. They're like, yeah, you play with them, you lay with them. You play, you lay.

• 18:25Speaker 04

  Eli over here is like, he's, he's begging for a conus.

• 18:29Speaker 03

  I know the one.

• 18:30Speaker 01

  It would be really fun to do a hood documentary with you guys. They like to drink.

• 18:34Speaker 02

  I'm just curious why they don't, just don't do any of that fucking bullshit and be active to like people, members of society, you know? If they just didn't do that.

• 18:44Speaker 01

  Yeah, I get it.

• 18:45Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 18:46Speaker 01

  So I mean, one of the interesting things about, um, so like, you know, rap is, is very prevalent in our society, modern society. And the shelf life of a rapper is so small, uh, or low because, you know, whether it's jail or getting shot, like, uh, a lot of history is getting written in a span of like one to three years, uh, with these rapper stories. So I do think it is interesting to cover. Cause a lot of the hood videos I did in 2024, like everyone in that video is either, uh, you know, passed or in jail. So it's like capturing a crazy moment.

• 19:12Speaker 04

  Literally every single one?

• 19:13Speaker 01

  Not everyone, but like, yeah, the big names, a lot of the big names and a lot of those videos.

• 19:18Speaker 02

  They also couldn't do that.

• 19:21Speaker 04

  Or they, they could choose not to.

• 19:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, like, yeah.

• 19:26Speaker 03

  Ready?

• 19:27Speaker 01

  I'm not, I'm not pro hood warfare. I don't think they should be shooting each other.

• 19:31Speaker 03

  It's like you, like it's capturing it and it's, I, I appreciate you doing it because you get to see that other side and you know, now you're like, what the fuck? Like, how do people rationalize some of this? Behavior where you're like, oh, okay. So this is okay with, uh, what they're doing. And then you come back to normal.

• 19:48Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's pretty crazy. The street politics and street vengeance, but yeah, it's, it's interesting because like out of the past 12 videos I've done, I think only two of them have been hood videos, but it's definitely the videos that people gravitate to the most, you know what I mean? Are the hood videos, but yeah, like the majority lately, I haven't even been doing, you know, that kind of content, but.

• 20:06Speaker 03

  A kid does that.

• 20:07Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 20:08Speaker 03

  A child would be like, you know what? I'm gonna reevaluate.

• 20:11Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 20:12Speaker 04

  You just had your first kid.

• 20:13Speaker 01

  I did, yeah.

• 20:13Speaker 04

  Congratulations.

• 20:14Speaker 01

  Thank you so much. But yeah, yeah. Since, since I've had a kid, I've only done one, um, hood video and it was in Detroit and it was about car thieves and we got the, the car shot up.

• 20:23Speaker 02

  It was, was it the Kia boys?

• 20:25Speaker 01

  Yep. They, they shot the car up, but we, I think we stole that, like, or I didn't, I should watch what I say right now.

• 20:30Speaker 03

  We can believe whatever. Like if you feel like.

• 20:33Speaker 01

  We stole that guy's car. It's crazy. They stole that guy's car and I was with them and then they shot the car up.

• 20:39Speaker 03

  How do you say it? They acquired a car and it got shot up, right?

• 20:42Speaker 04

  They, they acquired the car, you documented it.

• 20:44Speaker 01

  Exactly.

• 20:44Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 20:45Speaker 01

  Thank you, US Congressman Brandon Herrera.

• 20:47Speaker 02

  Well.

• 20:50Speaker 04

  Listen here, motherfucker.

• 20:53Speaker 04

  I'm trying to help, alright?

• 20:54Speaker 01

  No, I appreciate you.

• 20:55Speaker 03

  And immediately he's like

• 20:57Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 20:58Speaker 03

  First like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

• 21:00Speaker 01

  Man, there's definitely some crazy stuff with that. But my recent videos, as you guys know, I, uh, my last video was with Reckless Ben, which is your guys' video before this episode.

• 21:07Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 21:08Speaker 01

  And yeah, there's so many-

• 21:08Speaker 03

  Yeah, it'll come right out later.

• 21:09Speaker 01

  The beautiful part about YouTube is there's so many fascinating stories and fascinating things to cover.

• 21:13Speaker 03

  True.

• 21:14Speaker 01

  Yeah. While like some of my most viral videos are the hood ones, I feel like there's been some just awesome stuff I've got to do. Like I'm about to go to Greenland in a week and cover Greenland, Iceland, and Nunavut, uh, Canada, Ikalawet. Just like what, what life is like in the Arctic. That's really exciting. And you guys know Papa Meat, my second to last video was a documentary.

• 21:30Speaker 04

  That was really cool.

• 21:31Speaker 01

  Yeah, it was super fun.

• 21:33Speaker 03

  Talk about that, cause you gotta go to like, uh, Hunter's farm and see like the donkeys, his life. I didn't realize he had that many pets. Cody, have you seen that video?

• 21:41Speaker 02

  No, I've not seen that.

• 21:42Speaker 01

  It was so fun.

• 21:42Speaker 03

  He has a lot of pets.

• 21:44Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 21:44Speaker 03

  Like a farm of pets.

• 21:46Speaker 04

  I know he's got his, like, his hound dog.

• 21:48Speaker 01

  He's got the Basset Hounds.

• 21:49Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 21:53Speaker 02

  Brandon and I just hung out with him.

• 21:55Speaker 04

  Yeah, we, we, we did our planning trip for the, uh, the range day this year.

• 21:59Speaker 02

  So, yeah, we, we, we have our range day every year. We bring a bunch of creators out and they have a good time. So we went out there to like scout our ranging day and look at the range and stuff. And we just happened to be there in our hotel and Papa Meat was there.

• 22:12Speaker 04

  I was the last one to show up. Yeah, by coincidence. I was the last one to show up and I, I, I go to the floor, like, we're gonna play some blackjack, lose some money. And, uh, I see Cody, uh, like, I see everybody, like, at the tables and I see Cody standing up, talking to, uh, to Hunter. I'm like, of fucking course.

• 22:28Speaker 02

  Of course. Papa Meat was there. So we got to gamble with him for a couple of days, like, that was like two weeks ago or something like that.

• 22:34Speaker 04

  What a great guy.

• 22:35Speaker 01

  He rocks, man.

• 22:36Speaker 02

  God, Tammy rocks. And can that man gamble? Yes.

• 22:39Speaker 01

  Really? Dude, that would be such a fun video, gambling with Papa Meat.

• 22:43Speaker 04

  The casinos would hate it.

• 22:45Speaker 02

  I've never seen him walk away from a table with less than he brought to the table.

• 22:49Speaker 01

  Really?

• 22:50Speaker 02

  Like, that man, yeah. He's, he's, he can gamble.

• 22:53Speaker 01

  Smart man.

• 22:54Speaker 04

  You know what, like, like a good luck charm, right?

• 22:56Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 22:56Speaker 04

  He's the opposite of that for me. Anytime he shows up at the table, he'll just give me advice. I'll take it and I fucking lose. Every time.

• 23:04Speaker 01

  Always double on six.

• 23:05Speaker 04

  But, huh, what, he's one of my favorite people just cause he's, he's just so independently, just organically funny.

• 23:11Speaker 01

  Yeah, I feel like, uh, people should really appreciate him providing such high quality animations to YouTube for free. It's like, such a, such a cool thing.

• 23:18Speaker 04

  Cause he doesn't do sponsorships. He doesn't do any of that stuff for like his, for his main channel.

• 23:22Speaker 01

  Yeah, main channel. Yeah.

• 23:24Speaker 03

  Papa Meat is now becoming his main. That thing is crushing.

• 23:28Speaker 01

  Oh my god, bro.

• 23:29Speaker 03

  And then Creepcast, which is...

• 23:32Speaker 01

  Yeah, one of the coolest parts about being a YouTuber is just getting, uh, being able to hang out with cool people and that being like your job. Like, we're working right now. I think that's pretty, that's pretty cool.

• 23:40Speaker 02

  That's, that's pretty insane, dude.

• 23:43Speaker 01

  It's a good job.

• 23:43Speaker 02

  Given the, the past jobs that we had. Eli got fucking shot. I was a cop. You manufactured firearms.

• 24:19Speaker 01

  I was-

• 24:20Speaker 02

  It's crazy to be able to sit here and make money doing this.

• 24:23Speaker 01

  You were what, sorry? Elementary school art teacher.

• 24:25Speaker 04

  No, yeah, I, I forgot about that.

• 24:26Speaker 02

  I could have never seen that, looking like Weird Al Yankovic, you know?

• 24:29Speaker 03

  That's why I can't see it. Hey, kids, happy clouds, let's go. Fuck these kids.

• 24:35Speaker 01

  It's hard, it's hard to, I mean, dude, to, to, to control a classroom of 37 children is, is, is difficult, for sure. So shout out to all the teachers out there. It's a hard job.

• 24:44Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 24:44Speaker 03

  I could not do that shit. Nope.

• 24:46Speaker 01

  No. And you can't even tell them to shut the hell up, be there? You gotta be like-

• 24:50Speaker 03

  It's just, yeah.

• 24:51Speaker 01

  Please lower your volume.

• 24:53Speaker 02

  You, cause you have no choice in the kids that you get. You're just, you're placed there with them, right?

• 24:57Speaker 01

  Yeah. And where I was, it was all about like positive reinforcement. So if like a kid was jumping on the table, you couldn't be like, get off the table. You'd have to be like, please take a seat. Would you please have a seat?

• 25:05Speaker 03

  Fuck, no. They actually think that works?

• 25:07Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 25:08Speaker 03

  Is there studies that show that-

• 25:09Speaker 01

  Montgomery County, Maryland.

• 25:11Speaker 03

  Is there any studies that show that is, I've-

• 25:13Speaker 04

  You saying that right now, like, the right side of my face is hurting. Like, just out of muscle memory.

• 25:18Speaker 01

  Yeah. Cause your, your dad's laughing you?

• 25:21Speaker 03

  Well, I don't, dude, it's, you learn stuff through, eh, any time in life, you better yourself when it's hard. If it's just, don't do that. It, please take your seat. There's no repercussions. There's no difficulty. You get to decide if you want to or not. Or so you get hit, you're like, huh, yeah, I'm gonna-

• 25:39Speaker 01

  You have a kid. So I feel like kids are masters of finding that line and getting right up to it or like just crossing it, right? So when you have 35 and they're all trying to figure out what the rules are and how close they can get to them without getting in trouble. So if the rules are so loose and the, the, the teacher has to be so like gentle and kind, they're gonna like run all over you. And that was a situation I found myself in. I was like, dude, these kids are damn near bullying me. I can't do shit.

• 26:02Speaker 04

  I saw a video the other day. It was, I think it was earlier today. It was on Instagram where like this guy was like client, or he was, he was doing a run with this kid. His kid was crying. And he's like, is it hard? Like, do you wanna quit? That's why we don't quit and whatever. Like, he's just like giving him like a pep talk. Like, the, the kid's like crying, like he wants to, to go home. He's like, no, this is why we gotta keep going. And apparently it went viral. And he's like, hey, I'm the guy from this video. I saw your internet comments and I've decided I've completely changed my mind. And so he did another like parody video of that. He's like, I'm sorry, buddy. You wanna quit? That's okay. You can. Tomorrow we'll try again and then we'll quit again. Like, it's okay. If anything gets hard in life, just quit. It's not a problem. You'll have no negative effects on this whatsoever.

• 26:46Speaker 03

  Awesome dad right there.

• 26:48Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 26:48Speaker 03

  Proper, like, this is how stupid you sound.

• 26:51Speaker 01

  Yeah, one of the craziest things of, uh, when I was a teacher is you couldn't take, uh, there was like no punishment. So you couldn't give kids suspension unless the police were involved. You couldn't take their recess. There was like no, um, you couldn't, you know, there was no-

• 27:02Speaker 04

  You couldn't suspend kids without the police?

• 27:05Speaker 01

  No, like, if a kid stabbed another kid with scissors, the only way you could suspend them is if a police report was filed, at least in Montgomery County, Maryland, where I taught.

• 27:12Speaker 04

  That's fucking insane.

• 27:13Speaker 01

  A kid would strangle another kid and if you, if I took his recess, then to like, you know, talk to him about what he did and punish him, I would get in trouble. So what they would do if the kid misbehaved is they would give him a laptop to play video games. And if you just think about that, like-

• 27:25Speaker 03

  Oh, it's positive reinforcement for negative behavior.

• 27:28Speaker 01

  Dude, if, I mean, if, if, if I could still like do my job and get, and get to play video games, if I fucked around, I would wreck this set right now and go smash my laptop and crush, uh, Premiere Pro, you know what I mean? And just play games. Cause, you know, you're like incentivized at that point to, to not do the right thing. You get what I'm saying?

• 27:45Speaker 04

  Oh, thousand percent.

• 27:45Speaker 02

  Yeah, no, no, no.

• 27:46Speaker 03

  That is wild. I know when Ryden had that one kid that like, this is, eh, like first grade kindergarten, like little Ryden. And the kid, Ryden went down the slide and then another kid went down and Ryden didn't move fast enough. And, uh, so he got like bumped or something and Ryden was like, oh, I am sorry. And went to hug the kid to say sorry. And the kid pushed him down. We got called to the school. They're like, hey, incident, recess, this kid pushed down the kid, but, uh, he said sorry. Uh, so just if Ryden says anything, that's what happened. I was like, okay, well, if it happens again,

• 28:24Speaker 03

  you're gonna have to call the parents here and they're gonna have to talk to me. I promise it's gonna go a different way. So are we good? And they're like, oh, uh-huh. Like, you gotta see, it's like, oh, he's gonna handle it like with the parents. I'm like, I do not fuck with that shit.

• 28:37Speaker 04

  About what age did, uh, was it like very apparent that, uh, Ryden was dealing with autism?

• 28:41Speaker 03

  Two to three.

• 28:42Speaker 04

  Two to three, okay. Got it. So this is like well after.

• 28:44Speaker 03

  Yeah, this is three years after and you could, like, it's Ryden, like, he has his voice and how he, I am sorry. And like, eh, he was in the, uh, special needs class for that stuff. So it was like, hey, general, gen pop, special needs with the gen pop.

• 28:58Speaker 04

  You were gonna do like the True Detective season two. Just hate this shit out of the fucking dad.

• 29:02Speaker 03

  I'm like, you fucking do it again.

• 29:04Speaker 04

  Listen, kid, watch this. This is for you.

• 29:07Speaker 01

  Yeah, what do you do if a kid is throwing your child to the ground at school?

• 29:11Speaker 03

  You go and you threaten, you know, threaten. You go, you go talk sternly to the teachers and then tell them to let the parents know that you want to also sternly talk with them. And that usually rectifies situations.

• 29:21Speaker 01

  And if it doesn't, then you do a Glock talk.

• 29:25Speaker 04

  With the switch?

• 29:25Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 29:27Speaker 04

  Is that what you've learned from your friends?

• 29:29Speaker 01

  Yes. I'm very intelligent.

• 29:32Speaker 03

  Gang sign. Gang, gang. Oh yeah, here you go. Uh, rapper name or there, there's eight names. Rapper name or fake name? We'll go with, um-

• 29:43Speaker 04

  Real.

  Yep. They really are. They're just gamertags.

• 30:50Speaker 01

  Yeah, they are. It's so funny.

• 30:52Speaker 03

  Do they just stop caring at a certain point? He's like, eh? Is it just gamertags at that point? Cause it does sound like them. Q fifty is highly specific.

• 31:00Speaker 01

  I, I, I love watching your videos because I used to have to deal with these same kids that you're dealing with in your videos, but it's like, I was a cop twelve years ago and seeing you deal with them these days is the same fucking kids, dude. It doesn't change. It's so awesome to just like shoot up the block and do all this shit and like, nothing really changes.

• 31:26Speaker 04

  What's the timeframe difference on that? It's like fifteen years, ten years?

• 31:29Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's like twelve, thirteen years. Yeah. Since I've been a cop and then he's dealing with the same kids and they, they fucking the look that they look the same. No, because they're black, but they, they look the same. They act the same.

• 31:40Speaker 04

  It's the same attitude.

• 31:41Speaker 01

  Just like, yeah, they're, they're still like, just trying to act out to like, do something in their world. Like, just do something.

• 31:49Speaker 04

  Oh, don't know.

• 31:49Speaker 01

  Even, even if it's like shooting at people, stealing a car, whatever, they're doing the same shit. Cause

• 31:55Speaker 04

  They just wanna make a name for something.

• 31:57Speaker 01

  Yeah, they just wanna be out there in, in the world and it sucks.

• 32:01Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 32:01Speaker 01

  I threw their shoes into the storm drain.

• 32:06Speaker 04

  Could you, uh, could you expand on that story a bit?

• 32:09Speaker 03

  Tony's cold roll off by through the shoes. And the storm drain. I don't even know what that means, but it sounds violent.

• 32:15Speaker 04

  Do you not?

• 32:16Speaker 03

  No, I do.

• 32:16Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 32:17Speaker 03

  I know what it means, but if you add a context, it is a very dark quote.

• 32:21Speaker 04

  It's one of my favorite stories from, uh, from your policing days. Cause I think you got it from a movie, didn't you?

• 32:25Speaker 01

  I got it from, uh, The Wire.

• 32:27Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 32:28Speaker 01

  That's based in Maryland. That's based near Baltimore.

• 32:30Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 32:30Speaker 01

  Baltimore. Yeah. No, like it's, it, and it's just crazy seeing that the same thing, like watching your videos and seeing they're acting the same way. From the kids that I saw, like when I was a cop, like thirteen years ago, it's the same thing. Like, like we were just saying, like, they just wanna make a, a name for themselves, even if it involves just like shooting up the neighborhoods their grandmothers have a house in. Well, yeah, what's crazy with the, the, the rap genre of drill rap is you're, you're kind of, um, incentivized.

• 33:01Speaker 04

  Drill rap?

• 33:02Speaker 01

  Yeah, drill rap. It's like a subgenre of hip hop. You're kind of incentivized to go do these violent, heinous acts and you can still get signed to a record label. If, you know, if like the buzz about you is you've killed four or five people, it's not like you're gonna be blackwalled. You're probably gonna have more opportunities. So.

• 33:17Speaker 04

  Summer loosened everything up. Wait, that can't be right. Nope, that's in the read.

• 33:21Speaker 03

  What are they doing?

• 33:23Speaker 04

  I don't know how you guys spend your summers.

• 33:25Speaker 03

  Brandon, since you're feeling under the weather or, you know, a little discombobulated.

• 33:29Speaker 04

  A little loose, some might say.

• 33:31Speaker 03

  Well, do I know how to tighten you right up? AG one.

• 33:36Speaker 03

  Watch me mix it. It's so delicious.

• 33:39Speaker 04

  But it helps you maintain energy, support gut health and support your immune system.

• 33:43Speaker 03

  The daily foundation nutrition comes in travel packs, which makes this way easier. Time to tighten up.

• 33:51Speaker 03

  Mmm, everything's tightening up as we speak.

• 33:53Speaker 04

  I can hear it. How does it feel knowing that you're consuming a drink that has both pre and probiotics and antioxidants?

• 34:01Speaker 03

  And superfoods. I feel like a god, Brandon.

• 34:05Speaker 04

  Well, that's concerning.

• 34:06Speaker 03

  My muscles are so tight.

• 34:09Speaker 04

  Alright.

• 34:10Speaker 03

  Did you know the next gen formula has seventy-five plus ingredients?

• 34:15Speaker 04

  That's slightly more than seventy-five.

• 34:18Speaker 03

  It's clinically shown to support gut health. And when you have a tum tum like me, you need it.

• 34:24Speaker 04

  If your summer got you nice and loose, trust AG one to fill in your nutritional gaps.

• 34:29Speaker 03

  And this will improve your key nutrient levels in three months.

• 34:33Speaker 04

  No, but legitimately, like if you travel even half as much as we do, uh, these little travel packs do come in handy. Very, very easy on the road. Visit drinkag1.com/unsubscribe.

• 34:52Speaker 03

  That's drinkag1.com/unsubscribe.

• 34:56Speaker 01

  Oh, cool. So these record labels are still paying people just because they have no, no derity. Yeah, I'm not making it up. Outstanding. It's a fact.

• 35:04Speaker 04

  No, I guarantee it.

• 35:05Speaker 01

  So weird. It's the fucking weirdest thing.

• 35:07Speaker 03

  That is wild.

• 35:08Speaker 01

  Most other like, uh, areas of society, if people know you've killed people illegally like that, you're gonna be barred.

• 35:15Speaker 03

  Yeah. That's, I didn't know that they

• 35:19Speaker 04

  I don't think it's, I don't think it's cancel culture when you literally murder a person.

• 35:23Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 35:24Speaker 04

  It's like, alright, there's cancel culture. Like he said something I don't agree with. It's like, no, he slaughtered a guy outside of CBS. Like that feels like a very serious offense.

• 35:31Speaker 01

  Seems like reasonable culture, but you know.

• 35:34Speaker 03

  Just sign that too. Like even from a business site, it's fucking wild to try to promote any idea, like any part of that process of, oh, here's his manager or the owner and be like, yo, we need to sign him because he just Iced three people. Have you heard his rap? Like, that's wild to be like, we need them.

• 35:51Speaker 01

  Well, and people get mad at me for making videos about it, but like, I don't force them to act any type of way. They're already making music that's on the radio, getting, you know, millions and billions of views. And it's really the record labels that are profiting the most because they're signing these people that are doing crime. And if they go to jail or they die, who gets paid? It's the label.

• 36:05Speaker 04

  When you, when you, when you say people get mad at you, uh, what are, what are they saying?

• 36:09Speaker 01

  Uh, you know, I'm a culture vulture. I'm taking advantage of these people. I'm a

• 36:13Speaker 04

  Taking advantage of murderers?

• 36:15Speaker 03

  Fuck that. They're already killing each other. Don't ever let anyone make you feel bad that you're showing this is the shit they're doing, like to each other every day. Killing each other in their own culture.

• 36:27Speaker 01

  I'm showing the reality of it. And if you watch my videos, I'm never egging it on. I'm pretty much, I'm hanging with them like I'm hanging with you guys. And it's just, they choose to talk. I'm not like, so did you kill so and so? Like they're the ones that are like bringing these things up. I'm hanging out with them.

• 36:38Speaker 04

  Volunteering it.

• 36:39Speaker 01

  I'm, you, you can essentially see the perspective of what's it like if Brandon goes and hangs out with this person? I don't come with like a weird slant, you know?

• 36:45Speaker 03

  No, you go in, uh, you're very, I mean, transparent on everything. You just go in and you just act. You just befriend everyone.

• 36:52Speaker 01

  Yeah, I'm not biased. And if they talk about something, I might do a talking head explaining like what the hell they're talking about, but I don't come with these like loaded questions. A lot of, uh, hip hop journalists do, but you know, that's cause that's what the people want essentially.

• 37:03Speaker 04

  That's one thing I will give you flowers for a little bit real quick is like a lot of your, your journalism and the documentaries you've done so far. Have, uh, like, there's so many people on YouTube that'll just egg the shit on and try to just like create scenarios for content, stuff like that. You just let it fly. You, you, you just straight up like, hey, I'm gonna go to this place where something's happening and I'm just gonna be a normal fucking guy and, and report on it. And I, I appreciate that cause it's not manufactured.

• 37:27Speaker 01

  Yeah, I appreciate it.

• 37:27Speaker 04

  You just go out there and you're doing real journalism, which is something that most real journalists don't even do anymore.

• 37:32Speaker 01

  And also Brandon, what he doesn't do, he doesn't try to cause chaos. He's not like, yeah, what did little fucking blip say about little blood about here? You just go in and you're just like, well, why, why are you mad at him? You, what's going on here? I don't wanna stoke anything, but it seems like yellow journalism has become the norm, you know, these weird slanted shit. But yeah, that's what's so interesting, um, about, uh, January sixth is I was there from

• 37:55Speaker 04

  I forgot about that.

• 37:55Speaker 01

  The morning into the night. And, uh, I had no idea it was like such a violent white supremacist rampage. Cause I was there the whole time. And I'm not like the bravest, toughest guy. I get like nervous and shook up. And I was there all day and I was shocked when I got home and saw the news that it was like such a, you know, obviously they broke into the Capitol building, but it wasn't that violent. Like we watched the video yesterday.

• 38:14Speaker 03

  Dude, I was about to say, it is wild how

• 38:17Speaker 04

  Have you not looked into this?

• 38:18Speaker 03

  Well, uh, uh, yes, but again, it's like, I don't trust all aspects, but when you have him filming, cause you get to see the footage. I never understood. It's like violent. Cause nothing showed true violence.

• 38:30Speaker 04

  The violent mob that like stuck within the red ropes.

• 38:33Speaker 03

  Yes. And like we're wa- walk in, but when your video really shows everyone's just there for like this, that whatever their beliefs are on that entire event, it's still peaceful and they're not yelling racist shit. They're just being very respectful to everyone, even you. That Chinese lady that was crying.

• 38:53Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 38:54Speaker 03

  There was like a Chinese lady crying.

• 38:55Speaker 01

  Where is God?

• 38:56Speaker 03

  Yeah. She's like, this shouldn't have happened. He should be in office. What's going on? This should not have happened. He should be in office. Like

• 39:04Speaker 04

  Very heavy Asian accent.

• 39:05Speaker 01

  Literally. Thank you. I didn't understand it otherwise. Eli, thank you. You're translating for me.

• 39:11Speaker 03

  But yeah, it's wild to see how big how, how they swayed that narrative though. It's, and we talked about like yours. That was my first time really seeing how they will switch anything that happens. The media is just gonna like flip it. You, Rich, and now that was like, Jesus.

• 39:28Speaker 04

  You guys have been friends of mine for years and years. And like, you guys know what I believe. You know how I am. Like you, you know, like behind the camera, like when the cameras are off, you know, you know who I am as a person. You guys have seen who I actually am and to see what the media portrays me to be. It's like, it's insane. You kind of like see the, the media twist and like, these people are not our friends most of the time. Which is why I think your stuff is so refreshing. Cause I, I think a lot of what you tap into with a lot of your, what I will call actual journalism is very much in the same vein as what Vice News was ten years ago.

• 39:58Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 39:58Speaker 04

  Like, I feel like it's that same like guerrilla journalism that people are actually interested in and not just like slanted stuff.

• 40:05Speaker 01

  It's funny because it's, I feel like it's easier to do authentic journalism. Like of, of course everyone has some kind of biases, but you have to put more effort into like, uh, you know, slant things and skew them like a jerk off. It's pretty easy to just be like, hey, what's going on? Tell me how you feel, you know, at these notable, um, things like January sixth. But yeah, I feel like my video was shadow banned because, uh, police for, or not police reports, news reports on it will have like five, 10 million views where they don't show any footage. I have like, you know, an hour edited down into fifteen minutes of like raw on the ground footage. It's pretty interesting. There's transgender people. There's Chinese people. There's black people. There's women. And nobody is being aggressive or violent. Everyone was getting along. They even sung the national anthem on the steps of the, the Capitol building. Together, like everyone.

• 40:47Speaker 04

  Oh shit.

• 40:47Speaker 03

  It's dude is pe- like.

• 40:50Speaker 03

  It's wild, especially when you hear how that was twisted to when you watch his footage and it is not like a little one offs, it's throughout the day. Yours covers everything. It's just.

• 41:02Speaker 01

  The only violence I saw was a cop shot a guy through the face with a rubber bullet. It was the only thing I saw, but you know, that's because they were trying to get him to get out of there. But yeah, I've been to concerts that were scarier than January 6th. And I have no incentive to say that, like, I'd have no problem being like, it was a madhouse. I don't care.

• 41:17Speaker 04

  It would theoretically be a better video for you if it was.

• 41:20Speaker 01

  Yeah, it would be more viral if I was like, they were crazy.

• 41:23Speaker 04

  Yeah. Well, I remember your, your stream coverage, because that was, I think, one of the biggest live streams you ever did was covering all the news, news footage at the time, right?

• 41:30Speaker 03

  Yeah, at the time I had 97,000 concurrent viewers watching me.

• 41:38Speaker 05

  Stay cozy and look cool with up to 60% off cold weather gear at Nordstrom Rack. Save on cashmere, outerwear, boots, and more from brands like Ugg, Vince, Kohan, and Hunter.

Great brands, great prices. That's why you Rack.

• 42:03Speaker 04

  Which is fucking insane.

• 42:05Speaker 03

  All I did, I turned on my computer that day on January 6th and I was like, guys, I'm going to cover everything that's happening. And I just skipped between news channels. And it didn't get too crazy. There were a couple of people that were like trying to burn flags and shit in there. And the people around them were trying to keep them from like burning.

• 42:23Speaker 01

  I think those guys were feds. I think the flag burning people with their, their faces covered, I feel like were feds, dude.

• 42:29Speaker 03

  Like I remember my stream specifically, there were people trying to cause trouble and there were people taking their, like stopping them from causing trouble and they were like, we're trying to have a protest right now.

• 42:40Speaker 04

  I think a lot of people like on Jan 6th, I think there was a really good job with a lot of the like true believers, like just the people that were there for the right reasons. That did a lot of self policing that like when somebody would say like, oh, let's go commit an act of violence. They'd be like, no. And they, they shut that, that, they shut that shit down pretty.

• 42:56Speaker 01

  Yeah. And all the mass crazy, uh, instigators, they didn't want to be on camera. They didn't, they wouldn't give me an interview. So I don't know. They, they definitely, there was people there with nefarious intentions for sure.

• 43:04Speaker 04

  For sure.

• 43:05Speaker 03

  Yeah. I remember specifically, there was a group of people, I was watching it on live stream. There was 97,000 people there with me. Watching this live stream. And there was a dude trying to take the news camera, like take their cameras away from them. And the dudes wearing like American flag shirts and dudes that were like, we're just trying to, we're just here just to be here. We're trying to keep him from taking the news cameras away from them. So there were people trying to fight the, the, like the actual anchors doing their job. And the dudes in like the American flag shirts were trying to keep those guys from taking cameras away from people because they were like, we just, no, we just won't, like, we just need news coverage. Like, we're not doing anything bad.

• 43:50Speaker 01

  Yeah. Do you know who else was there that day? That is now like a big YouTuber? January 6th. Nick Shirley.

• 43:57Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 43:59Speaker 01

  He did coverage.

• 43:59Speaker 04

  I met him at the, uh, the UFC 250.

• 44:02Speaker 01

  Yeah. He's a cool guy. I reached out to him. He's, uh, down to come on the podcast if you guys.

• 44:06Speaker 04

  I'd love to have him. Yeah. Seems like a good kid.

• 44:09Speaker 03

  We love you. What you've been doing, we know you're racist and all that, but we still look past that. No, you're crushing it, dude. It's.

• 44:15Speaker 04

  Ignore this guy.

• 44:16Speaker 03

  It's wild to see how they tried to even paint him. Like that dude looks like the most innocent. I'm just doing journalism. And I'm not meeting him. That's what I get from watching.

• 44:25Speaker 04

  He's just a journalist. He's doing like basic shit that journalists should be doing. Like he's really doing like, I, I actually, I was talking to somebody earlier today and I compared you with like Nick Shirley in a way where I'm like, yeah, it's just like an independent guy with a camera. That's doing shit that journalists used to do before the job was just spinning a narrative.

• 44:42Speaker 01

  Yeah. Tommy G is another one of those people. Um, and yeah, I had no idea Nick Shirley was such an evil guy. I've known him for like five years.

• 44:49Speaker 04

  Oh dude.

• 44:49Speaker 01

  Apparently he's really bad.

• 44:50Speaker 04

  Atrocious.

• 44:51Speaker 03

  Is it, is like him, because he goes in, it's just like, here is all the data. And when we watched the Minnesota, where, where did that?

• 44:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, the daycare frauds.

• 45:00Speaker 03

  Yeah, Minneapolis daycare one. I was like, I just seen snow and then when he released, I was like, everyone's going to think he filmed this in one day. And it was the day before Christmas, not understanding it was probably filmed for like weeks leading up to that. And I was like, and then you watched narrative happen. It was like, oh yeah, there we go.

• 45:16Speaker 04

  All the leering center fraud bullshit.

• 45:18Speaker 01

  Yeah. And how could you not be upset about that as a taxpayer?

• 45:21Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 45:22Speaker 01

  Like no one benefits from those people, uh, doing, uh, daycare fraud except them. So yeah, you should be upset about it.

• 45:28Speaker 03

  He, he's not antagonizing people too. That's where we're talking about the journalism that you do comes in where you just, you're just asking people questions. The same thing that Nick does. Hey, what's going on here? Hey, what's going on here? You shouldn't get mad at that. Just asking people questions. It's insane.

• 45:45Speaker 04

  Yeah. It's not leading questions either. It's not like I'm coming up to you on the street like, uh, when have you decided to stop beating your wife? You know, like, like different shit like that where it's like just insinuating wrongdoing. You're just like, hey, I noticed that you received this amount of money in taxpayer funds. Um, do you actually have any kids at your daycare center?

• 46:02Speaker 01

  Racist.

• 46:03Speaker 04

  And then they immediately paint you as just like the worst person ever. It's like.

• 46:08Speaker 03

  These Somalis, let me tell you about these Somalis right now, dude.

• 46:11Speaker 01

  That's crazy, dude. I don't know. I can't, I can't be around those kind of questions, dude.

• 46:16Speaker 04

  How dare you? It's stuff that like any reasonable, a reasonable person would just be like, oh yeah, look, we'll refer you over to like our PR guy, whatever. Like we'll, we'll give you all the, the data if you want it, whatever. But they just shut the fuck down.

• 46:27Speaker 01

  Well, I think that, I think a lot of those people have been arrested now, I believe. I could be wrong, but I think it's like, yeah, I think they've been, a lot of those.

• 46:33Speaker 04

  Probably not enough.

• 46:34Speaker 01

  Yeah, not enough, but.

• 46:36Speaker 03

  How much money was taken? It's like, you are, man, it is wild. Now that you guys are pointing out, it's like, you have such a clean way to document everything. Tyler Olivera is like, he's big, but he, dude, I love his content, but it's still more leading like versus how you do it, you approach it. He still has that. He's like, hey, these people, piece of shit. And he calls them out, which I do love. But you go in just like, I'm being friends with everyone.

• 47:00Speaker 01

  Yeah. Yeah. People don't really know what, uh, what I am exactly. You know what I mean? I get it from both sides. I'm like called a racist Nazi and also called like a, you know, Antifa fruitcake. So.

• 47:10Speaker 04

  That means you're pissing off the right people.

• 47:12Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 47:12Speaker 03

  How many N passes do you have at this point?

• 47:15Speaker 01

  Infinite.

• 47:17Speaker 01

  No, it's actually for every time.

• 47:19Speaker 04

  He's not a coward.

• 47:21Speaker 01

  Every time someone, uh, one of your homeboys gets shot as a white person, you get three N word passes. I've, I used mine up though already. So I'm out.

• 47:28Speaker 04

  No, you can use them all right now.

• 47:31Speaker 03

  You do know one of those.

• 47:32Speaker 01

  No kidding.

• 47:33Speaker 03

  No.

• 47:34Speaker 01

  No kidding.

• 47:35Speaker 03

  You do know one of those hood rats would pull a fucking Glock out and shoot you in the chest with it at any moment.

• 47:40Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 47:40Speaker 03

  And then use that as a badge on her.

• 47:42Speaker 01

  Yeah. I really don't want to die that way. I also don't want to die from septic pneumonia or cocksucky cocksucker virus.

• 47:48Speaker 04

  Let's talk about that a little bit because you, you had a very serious healthcare, uh, health scare recently.

• 47:53Speaker 01

  Yeah. It was the same thing that, uh, the NASCAR driver Kyle Busch passed away from, uh, pneumonia. So you have like an infection in your lungs and then it gets into your bloodstream and it shuts all your organs down. Same thing that Ben Askren had that rotted away his lungs. He had to get a lung transplant.

• 48:06Speaker 04

  Cause like, if you look at the before, after a Ben Askren, like it was pretty serious.

• 48:09Speaker 03

  That's what he had?

• 48:10Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 48:11Speaker 03

  Oh, I didn't realize that was a case. Yours was bad, but I'll let you tell that because it's wild.

• 48:15Speaker 01

  Yeah. I mean, I had like a stomach, a stomach condition for like, about like two months where I was vomiting like every day or every few days. And we couldn't figure out what was going on. I'd been at the hospital four times and then one morning I woke up, my feet were completely swollen, like huge. You know what I mean? Like you could almost pop them. It felt like, and I was deaf. And luckily.

• 48:36Speaker 04

  It's like the water retention or like.

• 48:37Speaker 01

  Yeah. Just, I, I don't know if it was water retention or blood or whatever. Um, and they took me to the emergency room and they immediately put me in an ambulance, sent me to Dallas, uh, medical city. And I was in ICU for two weeks and it was like a whole week of the doctor essentially not knowing if I was going to live or die. Cause my ejection fraction, which is how much blood your heart pumps to your body was at like between eight and 12%. Uh, what it should be. And a healthy person, it would be like 75%. So, yeah, it was horrible. I felt like I was suffocating because I couldn't breathe out of my lungs. My, uh, heart wasn't beating enough blood to my body. So.

• 49:10Speaker 04

  Never like intubate you or like, did it not matter because your heart wasn't working right?

• 49:14Speaker 01

  That was like, yeah, the next step would that for them to be like, put me, uh, you know, on like a feeding tube or a coma, induced coma or whatever. But luckily I didn't get to that point. They were really considering the last few days before things got positive, um, putting a pacemaker in. Cause that's like what helps your, uh, heartbeat. But yeah, that was definitely the most, way more traumatic than the shootings because the shootings happen quick and then they're over. But this was like seven days and nights of being like on the border of about to be dead. So it was terrible. And yeah, I'm still on, I'm going to be on three heart medications for the rest of my life. We'll start metoprolol and sperina. Yeah.

• 49:47Speaker 03

  Just, uh, reference that, uh, standard ejection fraction is normals 50 to 70.

• 49:52Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 49:53Speaker 03

  Mild, mildly reduced borderline 41 to 49, reduced heart failure at 40% or less. And you were at fucking 10%.

• 50:01Speaker 01

  Yeah, around 10%, yeah. Full on heart failure.

• 50:03Speaker 03

  Holy shit.

• 50:04Speaker 01

  It was terrible. I couldn't breathe. It was hard to talk. And something else that's interesting, if you can't breathe at all, you can't laugh. Cause I remember like trying to like some, if some funny shit would be said and I'd be like,

• 50:16Speaker 01

  because I couldn't get enough air to laugh. I remember that.

• 50:19Speaker 03

  We, it was, uh, we FaceTimed and then I got off the call just to wish you like, hey, get better. He was struggling like,

• 50:27Speaker 03

  like, hey, and then winded. Like you just say one word and winded. A lot of times it's a, it's a little bit disappointing when you're dealing with doctors or multiple doctors. That's why I started using superpower.

• 50:40Speaker 04

  Not that kind, but they do have a simple blood draw that gives you information on over 100 of your biomarkers.

• 50:46Speaker 03

  That's way more than you normally get with a standard doctor visit.

• 50:50Speaker 04

  And the best part is you could do it all in one place with superpower instead of going through one of those expensive, like very expensive blood panels that a lot of doctors would charge you for. Mine was over a thousand dollars, like the first time I got it done.

• 50:59Speaker 03

  And this is a proactive preventative healthcare.

• 51:03Speaker 04

  Which is, which is why the biomarkers are so important for different things like, you know, not even just like cancers and things like that, but you can figure out ways that your body will respond to things later on down the road before they become a problem.

• 51:15Speaker 03

  85% of members. Cover early risk factors for diseases. Seventy nine percent of members uncover heart disease.

• 51:23Speaker 04

  Oh, good God.

• 51:24Speaker 03

  Yeah. Forty nine percent of members slow their speed of aging.

• 51:27Speaker 04

  Legit, if you've never had your bloods done, I mean, it's something that we talk about. I mean, we've talked about before on the podcast. If you've never had it done, get it done. It's, it's actually a very good thing for you, not just for the now, but moving forward in the future.

• 51:40Speaker 03

  And Superpowers is one of the most affordable, one hundred plus biomarkers, all for one hundred and ninety nine dollars.

  Tell them unsub sends their regards.

• 52:15Speaker 01

  So you were actively making his condition worse?

• 52:17Speaker 03

  Exactly. I was like, oh, drink me. So tell me again about this story. It was.

• 52:24Speaker 04

  Like they're being socially exhausted and then you were physically exhausting him. You were killing him.

• 52:29Speaker 01

  Yeah. After I had the phone, I was like, Eli's so annoying. No, I'm just kidding. I was really thankful that you cared and so many people cared.

• 52:36Speaker 03

  I was immediately, once I seen that, I was like, I'm gonna let you get off the phone and sleep, buddy. I was like, rest, holy shit. I'm glad you're okay. But the breathing and everything was wild because it was like every breath was a problem for him. So it was crazy to see.

• 52:51Speaker 01

  It was gnarly, dude. It was super gnarly. I'm happy I didn't.

• 52:54Speaker 03

  We're glad you pulled through.

• 52:55Speaker 01

  Die from that. Yeah. It's been a great perspective enhancer, having almost done.

• 53:00Speaker 04

  Believe it.

• 53:02Speaker 03

  Good. No, that.

• 53:03Speaker 04

  At the bare minimum, you're like, hey, we're glad you're still alive, bud.

• 53:06Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 53:07Speaker 04

  It's like, that's, that's crazy experience, though.

• 53:08Speaker 01

  God hooked me up in a big way because, you know, most people, when that happens, usually you just die or, you know. It could be worse. Like, I could have had a lung transplant, you know what I mean? So to have that perspective and just be thankful for being able to, my body operating and functioning. I feel like has really helped with my mental perspective on things.

• 53:28Speaker 04

  Sure. What's, what's funny to me, though, is the amount of people like, this is just the fucking internet in general. But when all that shit was going down, people were just like, hmm, I think he's faking it. He's faking it for views because obviously he wasn't getting enough beforehand.

• 53:41Speaker 01

  Yeah, I was like, I was on a pretty, it's on a pretty hot streak before the sickness and things have been a lot colder. You know what I mean?

• 53:48Speaker 04

  Yeah. Well, do you have any idea how you got sick in the first place?

• 53:50Speaker 01

  So they don't know for sure, like how pneumonia would happen. It could happen, you know, a multitude of different ways, but. I think it was from vomiting and then maybe aspirating on a bit of the vomit and getting an infection, pneumonia in my lungs. And then, yeah.

• 54:04Speaker 04

  Vomiting from?

• 54:06Speaker 01

  Uh, they never found out what the vomiting was caused by.

• 54:09Speaker 04

  No shit.

• 54:09Speaker 01

  Like, so you know how like your wrist hurts really bad? You go to the doctor, they'll be like, you have arthritis, which is just like, uh, you know, inflammation in your wrist.

• 54:16Speaker 04

  Got it.

• 54:16Speaker 01

  They tell me, you have irritable bowel syndrome. Like, yeah, whatever the hell that means.

• 54:20Speaker 03

  I got.

• 54:21Speaker 04

  Here's nineteen things that could have caused it. It's like, cool.

• 54:24Speaker 01

  Yeah, but I took a bunch of ulcer medication for my stomach and vomiting subsided, so.

• 54:30Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's just like Eli with like his, you know, memory loss and like gaps in memory and things like that. And he claims it's TBI, but we just think he's old.

• 54:37Speaker 03

  It's both.

• 54:38Speaker 01

  I think he's making, making it up.

• 54:40Speaker 03

  Now it's just everything.

• 54:41Speaker 01

  You're making it up for views.

• 54:42Speaker 03

  Who are you? Where am I right now? Just confused at life. Yeah, dude, that was, again, wild to see you go through all of that. And then, because you were down for the count for how many months?

• 54:56Speaker 01

  Oh, man. Uh, it was like two and a half full months of like really unable to do anything. Something that is really interesting is when you have heart failure, your vision can be blurred. So I had super blurry vision that kind of stopped me from being able to like edit my videos or do anything.

• 55:11Speaker 04

  Lack of blood flow or?

• 55:12Speaker 01

  Yeah, I guess something, something like that. Um, but yeah, I got out of the hospital. I'm six foot three. I got out of the hospital about a hundred forty, a hundred forty four pounds.

• 55:19Speaker 04

  Holy shit.

• 55:20Speaker 01

  So I was, you can see, you can see the video.

• 55:23Speaker 04

  No, I know you're, you're lean as shit right now. You're looking like Timothy Chalamet.

• 55:26Speaker 01

  Yeah, and I'm like one eighty right now. So you can imagine thirty five pounds.

• 55:29Speaker 04

  Holy fuck.

• 55:30Speaker 01

  Less.

• 55:31Speaker 03

  That's insane.

• 55:32Speaker 01

  It was pretty crazy. But yeah, I have, I have an older brother named Kyle who passed away at thirty four years old from a heart attack. So. Uh, I'm super thankful that I got to like experience what I experienced and not just be done because he like didn't get a second chance at. At life, you know, it was just kind of over for him. He had his big catastrophic heart thing and it was done. So I got to have mine and live and then, um, go on, so.

• 55:55Speaker 03

  Well, I love your positive mindset after too, because we talked yesterday, but you're just like, I want to crush life and you have that new perspective. You're like, oh. Shit, we are pretty fragile and it can end like that. And add a family kiddo in that mix. You just really start to push yourself harder and you appreciate.

• 56:13Speaker 03

  You look back at some of the stuff you used to get frustrated at or messed with you and you're like, man, that was nothing. I have no. I should have laughed at that compared to what you went through.

• 56:24Speaker 01

  Yeah, it would be, right now for me to be like all depressed and anxious would be such an injustice to, uh, God, you know, for like sparing me and letting me stay on earth. I feel, you know, and everyone deals with depression and anxiety. It's very normal, but I, I, you know, it's crazy to think about me being sad. Prior to the health problems because obviously my health is way worse now than it was before the heart failure. Like I'm still dealing with health stuff. But, um, my mental side of things is so much better just because, you know, I got to see how bad it could be. Like dude, if I, if I, if I had to, uh, like close my eyes and open them and I was in the heart failure mode, it would just be so horrible. So I'm really stoked that that's not happening.

• 57:00Speaker 03

  It's relative. Everything you experience is relative and what you, now you're like, okay, that's, that sucked the most.

• 57:07Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 57:07Speaker 03

  So everything above that.

• 57:09Speaker 01

  Pretty cool.

• 57:09Speaker 03

  Fucking dopey shit. That's, I mean, Tab gets to hear it. I'll be like, she's like, oh, what's going on this? I'm like, eh, at least I'm not getting shot at. That's literally my bar of that sucks way worse.

• 57:20Speaker 04

  That was eye opening to me as well. Like on the Jordan trip is like everywhere we went, especially on that one base, like everywhere we went, it was. Okay, here's the area we are, uh, forty yards over that way. That's the bunker we hide in if we get, uh, incoming. You know, we had to go into like bunkers like two or three times, like not, not had to, like, it wasn't like incoming thing or whatever, but like, we're just like going in there, like they're showing us like the whole setup, stuff like that. And then, you know, leaving there, knowing that I'm like getting a flight back to the US in twelve hours. It's like, oh, thank you so much for coming out, whatever. Like, thank you for, for doing this. I'm like, dude, I, I have the easiest job here. I get to go back home. Tomorrow. You guys are stuck here. Like there's dudes that were out there on deployment for ten, eleven, twelve months so far.

• 58:02Speaker 02

  Oh, that, that one, the one picture you showed me, you're playing cards with those kids. They had to have been like nineteen fucking.

• 58:11Speaker 04

  Nineteen, twenty, twenty-three, like. It's a lot of the kids that are out there now, uh, they, they weren't around during nine eleven. They weren't even born.

• 58:20Speaker 01

  Yeah, because we were.

• 58:23Speaker 03

  I mean, you're looking at it because your average infantry, infantry soldier is, uh, I want to say it's nineteen. Eighteen or nineteen, it's a young age, but eighteen to twenty-one is when you're in, you do your service, you get out. So it's all babies out of high school, like comparative to us.

• 58:39Speaker 04

  Yeah. And like, like, don't get me wrong, like those guys were all fucking awesome. But at the same time, it's, it's kind of mind boggling for, for guys like us to think about like. These guys were born while guys like you were deployed in GWAT.

• 58:50Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's, yeah. Chris and me were talking about that. It's like, holy shit, these guys are being born when I was deployed.

• 58:58Speaker 02

  Yeah, because, because we were sitting around the, the, the table this morning. We had breakfast this morning and. And Chris, you know, he, he was in the surge. I think he was in the surge too. And then he, he was a Blackwater guy for the, there for a minute. And it's just crazy thinking about, because you and I, Eli, we're, we're ten years older than fucking Brandon right here. And then, and then Brandon got to go out and hang out with these like fucking twenty year olds. But you're, you're all amazing. It's just, you're doing a great job, guys.

• 59:31Speaker 03

  Thank, again, thank you, uh, every, everyone out there, the men, women, uh, you sign the dotted line. And we truly respect you for that.

• 59:39Speaker 04

  What was even cooler was that, uh, the week prior to me getting there, uh, like a couple of days prior to me getting there. A bunch of the guys at that, uh, forward base that I went to the, the second day, uh, had all just decided in country, definitely not for the bonus. Uh, but had decided to sign their reenlistment.

• 59:57Speaker 03

  Yeah, you gotta reenlist and so.

• 59:59Speaker 04

  They did, they did a bunch of like, a bunch of reenlistments like the day before I got there.

• 1:00:03Speaker 03

  Reenlistment for anyone that doesn't know, it's when your time in service, you would either get out or you have a choice. Hey, I'll sign up for three to four to five more years. I'll get a bonus and, uh, I have to swear back and, and re-up my contract essentially. So, uh, a few soldiers did that, but what they ask you.

• 1:00:20Speaker 04

  Even all the shit that's going on right now, like all those guys were willing, like, these were a lot of the dudes that like, not being too specific with stuff, but like. If there was going to be a boots on the ground action of any kind, like these were the guys that were going to do it. And they were there in country, haven't seen their families in God knows how long. Uh, they were the ones that decided, like they, they decided to raise their hand and say, yes, I'll do it. I'll do it again.

• 1:00:41Speaker 03

  And they had you?

• 1:00:43Speaker 04

  They had me, uh, they had me promote a few guys, like a couple, like pin their, uh, their new ranks and stuff like that. That was, that was really, that was a fun experience.

• 1:00:50Speaker 03

  Getting rad, dude. Punch it? Or are you like, I'm not gonna hit this?

• 1:00:54Speaker 04

  It was Velcro. It was the Velcros. It wasn't the.

• 1:00:57Speaker 03

  So what we do now is here, bam, or you hit here, buddy?

• 1:01:01Speaker 04

  Well, I wish I would have known that. So next time we go, if we do that again, that's.

• 1:01:05Speaker 03

  I don't know if they still do that, but.

• 1:01:06Speaker 04

  No, because I know, I know like the Bloodwings, when I got the, uh, like the jumps, jumpstarters, like they, yeah. They had to pin me twice because they fucked it up the first time.

• 1:01:14Speaker 02

  Eli, did Brandon get deployed?

• 1:01:16Speaker 04

  No, I did not. I, I, I had, I got optioned.

• 1:01:20Speaker 03

  We get to go on.

• 1:01:20Speaker 04

  I had the choice of going there and choice of going home, which is more than I can say for most of the guys there.

• 1:01:25Speaker 03

  We're going to do a patrol, though. That's the one request I have when we go. I mean, the guys don't, I just want to go on a patrol. And then whoever wants to join.

• 1:01:34Speaker 04

  I would love to, yeah. I don't know, I don't know how they do that.

• 1:01:37Speaker 02

  Can I pick my rifle?

• 1:01:39Speaker 03

  Huh? Yeah. Yeah, bring everything.

• 1:01:42Speaker 02

  I can pick my gun.

• 1:01:43Speaker 03

  I'm sure if we're going on patrol, they won't say anything. I'm sure there's some drop.

• 1:01:48Speaker 02

  Can I talk to the local tier one guys and pick my gun from them? Hello, Delta gentlemen. May I have one of your rifles?

• 1:01:57Speaker 03

  To go on patrol.

• 1:01:58Speaker 04

  They lamped into some of the armories.

• 1:02:00Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:02:01Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah. I got some photos. Well, maybe, maybe put up, but.

• 1:02:05Speaker 03

  Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep.

• 1:02:07Speaker 04

  They're running some old school shit, man. Like a lot of those guys, especially the MPs and shit. They're running like, you know, twenty year old M4s that are all like pick rail with the rail covers, like ancient, uh, aim points.

• 1:02:17Speaker 03

  What was my?

• 1:02:18Speaker 04

  I didn't see a single Eotech while I was there.

• 1:02:20Speaker 03

  Why do you think my text, when I seen your gun in the group chat, I was like, I, there is a zero, not a non-zero percent chance that I, one of those guns I deployed with because it was the exact same everything. I was like, okay, that's an M4 A1 or A4, it's an M68 red dot. And then the bus, everything lined up was like, oh.

• 1:02:40Speaker 04

  That's the new contract FN's actually.

• 1:02:42Speaker 03

  Oh, no.

• 1:02:43Speaker 04

  Yep.

• 1:02:44Speaker 03

  Yeah, I did not know that.

• 1:02:45Speaker 04

  But you know, like a lot of that stuff, it's like, it's just, it looks so fucking old school. It's like, man, this is.

• 1:02:50Speaker 03

  Well, my, my.

• 1:02:51Speaker 04

  The tier one guys, I'm sure get way different shit, but.

• 1:03:21Speaker 04

  My favorite story that you told me earlier was, um, you, you managed to find a fucking Ma-Deuce on top of a truck. And the, the army, that like one of your people got you around was like, well, this is this. And you're like, son, I know more than you. I didn't say that. Somebody said it for me. I was nodding politely. Like, wow, this is a 50 cal? He's just like, somebody stopped him, was like, he, he, he, he knows. And I just went, yeah, I have one at home.

• 1:03:53Speaker 03

  Due to a private Bible.

• 1:03:56Speaker 04

  But, but I, I got to get up and like, take a picture like on the 50 cal up there. Um, and I, I fucked with the guy because I saw a loaded belt. Like it was a belt, like they're four to one, like four ball, one tracer.

• 1:04:06Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:04:07Speaker 04

  Like it was loaded up.

• 1:04:08Speaker 03

  Blink, blink, blink, red, blink, blink, blink, red, or black, maybe, actually?

• 1:04:13Speaker 04

  Well, it's, it's just standard ball rounds, like your standard 50 cal ammo. So like four rounds of 50 cal and then another round of 50 cal. It's a tracer.

• 1:04:20Speaker 03

  And it's marked, you'll see like when I say blink, blink, blink, it's no markings. And then the tracer is red or black?

• 1:04:25Speaker 04

  Uh, I think it's red. Yeah.

• 1:04:27Speaker 03

  Okay, I remember that.

• 1:04:28Speaker 04

  But I was up there and I was fucking with the guy because like he's down there and I'm up in the, the top of the MRAP. I go, so if I push these paddles down, what happens? Knowing he couldn't stop me if I wanted to. And he just kind of goes, he just like slumps his shoulders. He goes, the neighboring village and my boss will be equally upset.

• 1:04:51Speaker 04

  Yeah, okay, understood.

• 1:04:54Speaker 04

  Yeah, it was, it was a great time. All those guys were fucking amazing.

• 1:04:57Speaker 03

  Dude, would you want to go with us and do a doc if we go?

• 1:05:00Speaker 01

  In Jordan? Hell yeah, I'll go anywhere. I love traveling.

• 1:05:03Speaker 03

  You do a doc with?

• 1:05:04Speaker 01

  I think he does that.

• 1:05:06Speaker 04

  I talked earlier today with some of those people. They said they were opening it up potentially to the idea of doing more bases like outside of not just Jordan, but like some of the, some of the other bases there.

• 1:05:15Speaker 03

  I'm down.

• 1:05:16Speaker 01

  Yeah, I could essentially act as just like the residential journalist guy to document whatever y'all want to, you know, I don't really come to it with that much predetermined stuff. So you could just plug me into any situation, really.

• 1:05:27Speaker 03

  I think for like, if we do two, live shows, back, back, come back and then have him.

• 1:05:31Speaker 04

  Especially if we do like. If, if we do like meet and greets at a couple of bases, like just like the opportunity to go hang out with the guys and do like two live shows at big, you know, big bases that they could put something on, dude, I'd do that in a heartbeat.

• 1:05:44Speaker 03

  If we go, we'll eat chow, we can serve chow. I'd be down to serve chow at like lunch.

• 1:05:48Speaker 04

  Stayed contracts with a lot of local people. I found that out. Ben, you being the, the amazing journalist that you are, just walk around and be like, hey, what's up? What's your daily life like?

• 1:05:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, that'd be really interesting.

• 1:06:00Speaker 04

  How far that would go just to show people like what's happening? And the amount of people that showed me videos too of like, oh yeah, during Operation Epic Fury, like when all that stuff kicked off with Iran for like the first like week or so. There was like, oh yeah, we would get like incoming like fourteen, fifteen times per day, like in the very beginning of it. And they showed me video like as we're standing in the place that video was taken, like, oh yeah, this is video of all the, the stuff being intercepted over the base. Like shit that was coming, like missiles that were coming from Iran to Israel that were being intercepted mid air, right above the base was fucking crazy.

• 1:06:36Speaker 01

  That's gnarly. And how, how long were some of these guys on lockdown for?

• 1:06:39Speaker 04

  Like since the beginning. So like since like March.

• 1:06:43Speaker 01

  Damn. So months and months.

• 1:06:45Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:06:46Speaker 03

  Is there lockdown, they're just going to, they just stay on base twenty-four seven?

• 1:06:50Speaker 04

  Stay on base, like all the tourism activities, like before, apparently you could go to like other places. There's a lot of places in Jordan that are very cool. Like, like Petra, things like that, things you'd want to see, right?

• 1:07:00Speaker 03

  You could actually go downtown and do stuff.

• 1:07:02Speaker 04

  Now it's like they're, they're locked down on base. A lot of the recreational stuff, like when we were at, uh, the second base we were at. Uh, they said that they haven't had an, a gathering of more than like a hundred people in months since Epic Fury kicked off. Shit, Brandon, you were like, what do you guys do for a daily or something like that?

• 1:07:19Speaker 01

  Yeah, like what's, what's life like? What do you guys do for fun? How do you let off steam? What's on your mind? I'm, I'm curious what's on their, you know, what's on their mind as well. That's a great question. I like asking people.

• 1:07:28Speaker 04

  That'd be cool.

• 1:07:28Speaker 01

  What's on your mind lately?

• 1:07:29Speaker 04

  And so they, they don't, I don't know if they feel like this these days. They don't trust journalists very much. And why would you?

• 1:07:36Speaker 01

  I wouldn't, yeah.

• 1:07:37Speaker 04

  Exactly. Little bastard. If you're coming with that, I would never use the J word around you. Like you're, you're not a journalist. Yeah, Brandon rolls with us. He's just like, hey, guys, what are you up to? What's going on? Like you're not going to make them look like holes on CNN or, you know, any other major news network.

• 1:07:52Speaker 03

  Brandon, Brandon, look what I got you. I got you your own poncho shirt because you don't own one.

• 1:07:58Speaker 04

  I've never had one. Editor, play any clip of unsubscribe.

• 1:08:02Speaker 03

  You do always wear them. Why?

• 1:08:03Speaker 04

  That's because Poncho makes shirts for guys that actually go the outside.

• 1:08:07Speaker 03

  That's right. You will touch grass when you wear a poncho.

• 1:08:11Speaker 04

  You don't have to, if that scares you, but if you do like touching grass, these are a great shirt for you.

• 1:08:15Speaker 03

  They have an inner mesh to like.

• 1:08:17Speaker 04

  Yeah, dude, that's, what? That's why it breathes so well. Like actually like in, in West Texas summer, like I'm on the road in West Texas all the time. Ponchos are like the uniform because they, they look good. You know, the pearl snaps, everything like that, but they also actually breathe. So you can be outside and just kind of roll the sleeves up and like, you look good and you feel good.

• 1:08:34Speaker 03

  The boys and the pearl snaps.

• 1:08:36Speaker 04

  And ladies love them for the record.

• 1:08:38Speaker 03

  It's probably the best shirt he's ever worn.

• 1:08:41Speaker 04

  I'm not even kidding on my daily attire. Uh, Poncho is like seventy-five percent of it.

• 1:08:46Speaker 03

  I think everyone wears ponchos.

• 1:08:48Speaker 04

  Yeah, because it's great. Like it's, it's comfy. You, if you need to be professional, it can look professional. Uh, but otherwise just like going around, it breathes well. You could be outside doing sporty shit. Like it's just, it's all around, just good for anything.

• 1:08:59Speaker 03

  And they do have a little bit of stretch.

• 1:09:01Speaker 04

  But I didn't have to worry about the cost of refilling my wardrobe with ponchos because we had the code unsub.

• 1:09:05Speaker 03

  How much do you save with that code?

• 1:09:06Speaker 04

  Well, I'm glad you asked. If you go to ponchooutdoors.com slash unsub, you'll get $10 off your first order.

• 1:09:12Speaker 03

  It's a hell of a deal, Brandon.

• 1:09:14Speaker 04

  To make it even better, you get free shipping on top of it.

• 1:09:16Speaker 03

  By God, I'm going to start wearing poncho.

• 1:09:19Speaker 04

  You'd be crazy not to. Like, I feel like people call me a politician the same way they call you a journalist.

• 1:09:25Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:09:25Speaker 04

  I don't like the title, but yeah, that's kind of what I do.

• 1:09:28Speaker 01

  Yeah, for sure. Yeah. I mean, if, if I, if I interviewed someone and then they saw the final product and they felt like I misrepresented them, I'd feel like such an asshole.

• 1:09:36Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:09:36Speaker 01

  You know what I mean? I don't want to be that gotcha guy. Cause also you don't need to, you know what I mean?

• 1:09:41Speaker 04

  He's not Australian. That's cool.

• 1:09:43Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:09:44Speaker 04

  Rigged questions and shit. Whatever could you be talking about? Could we be talking about, you fucking cocks?

• 1:09:50Speaker 03

  That happened before or after they were on?

• 1:09:52Speaker 04

  I think, uh, well before.

• 1:09:54Speaker 03

  Okay, I wasn't sure on that one.

• 1:09:56Speaker 01

  Wait, the boy, boy?

• 1:09:57Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:09:57Speaker 01

  Remember I, that was like a big part of my video.

• 1:09:59Speaker 03

  Oh yeah, you did defend you were like, yo.

• 1:10:01Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:10:02Speaker 03

  I forgot about that.

• 1:10:03Speaker 01

  That was like a big part of my video. Like these guys came out there and they did this. So like, yeah, let's see what it's really like.

• 1:10:08Speaker 04

  I hate that shit because I'm like, I, I, at the end of the day, like, I really don't care where your political ties are. Like I'm not one of those guys that's like only political, which is really funny for somebody in politics.

• 1:10:17Speaker 01

  Yeah, I get what you're saying.

• 1:10:19Speaker 04

  I'm like, dude, as long as you're a realistic, down to earth guy, you're cool to hang out with, you're genuine, we'll get along. Like there's a lot of my friends, like, uh, we, we talk about this all the time, but like Ethan habitual line crosser. Me and him have very different opinions on certain elements of foreign policy. But he's still a good friend. I, I'd die for that man. Good fucking guy. You don't have to agree with everything I think. I don't have to agree with everything you think, but I'm still, he's a, he's a good, down to earth human. I love him to death.

• 1:10:45Speaker 01

  Yeah. When I watched the boy, boy video on you guys, I was just like, bro, that's so lame. So lame how they did you bringing out the, the child targets and stuff, which that isn't even legal to do in most ranges. You know what I mean?

• 1:10:55Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:10:56Speaker 01

  Uh, what they did. So it's just like ridiculous trick, being tricksters.

• 1:10:59Speaker 04

  And we didn't even know, like we, we, we got that. We're like, is this like a demo from some printing company? Like why the fuck are we getting these? Yeah. And they pretended like that was just something we had.

• 1:11:07Speaker 01

  It was weird. I dissed him pretty heavily, but then I did a video about Lebanon and they commented on that being like complimentary towards me. So I don't know. I feel like there's, you know, there's a bridge there.

• 1:11:16Speaker 04

  And I still don't like.

• 1:11:17Speaker 01

  I feel like they're not just bad guys.

• 1:11:18Speaker 04

  No, no, not at all.

• 1:11:19Speaker 01

  They, they just did a kind of a shitty thing.

• 1:11:21Speaker 04

  And I still like, I, I got along with them great while they were there, which that's, that's the most disappointing thing. Cause if I could just call them out as like a complete piece of shit, that would be one thing. But we got along for like three days.

• 1:11:31Speaker 01

  They make pretty good content. I like their stuff besides that video.

• 1:11:34Speaker 04

  Yeah, I like a lot of their stuff and I, I, I think that they were, they were cool guys to hang out with, but it's like the fact that you would go to the nth degree to be that disingenuous is just, it's irritating because I know you're capable of being really cool.

• 1:11:46Speaker 01

  I think it's so, like, I, I imagine I come out here, hang out with you guys and then in my video with you guys, it starts off at the, a school shooting ground. That's like, that, remember that's how their video started? That's like, bro, that's a pretty interesting context to start the video out.

• 1:12:00Speaker 04

  And he, he, he DM'd me afterwards, basically apologizing for the video.

• 1:12:05Speaker 01

  Like, why not?

• 1:12:06Speaker 04

  Because you, no, I'm, I'm. He, he DM'd me and basically he's like, hey, sorry, but if I was going to make the video that I was going to make, um, I thought you wouldn't have allowed me to come out and you wouldn't have helped me with it.

• 1:12:19Speaker 01

  I bet you still would have though.

• 1:12:21Speaker 04

  And I told him, yes, I, I said, I would have. Yeah. Even if I knew that was your tilt, I would have helped you with it because it was a cool project. I just would have asked that you give me. An opportunity to say my piece to give the other side.

• 1:12:33Speaker 01

  So you're not blindsided?

• 1:12:34Speaker 04

  That's, that would have been all I asked for.

• 1:12:36Speaker 03

  Wild.

• 1:12:37Speaker 04

  Alright, I'm different. Fuck you, boy, boy. Fuck you, I did a thing. You're pieces of fucking shit.

• 1:12:42Speaker 01

  Yeah, I understand that perspective. You guys welcomed them into your home and

• 1:12:45Speaker 03

  That's what kills me. It's being so nice and like providing the ammo, providing, providing a lot of money that costs to shoot.

• 1:12:55Speaker 04

  Ammo, guns, three days of me and my, my crew's time.

• 1:12:58Speaker 03

  Yeah, thousands of dollars and you were being very respectful.

• 1:13:01Speaker 01

  If they want to do such an anti-gun piece, why do you guys have to be the vehicle that takes it there? You know what I mean? Like, why do, why do you guys even have to be in that video? I don't understand.

• 1:13:10Speaker 03

  I think there's a lot of it was just, oh, we'll catch them off guard. This is how they're gonna act. And then it doesn't happen. And they're like, huh. Huh. I thought they were gonna act a specific way, like they would laugh at the kid targets. And then when it's pushback of like, what are we doing? Oh.

• 1:13:25Speaker 04

  I'm just disappointed because it could have been done better. Like, it could have been done in a way that, like, everybody wins, both sides are represented fairly, and we do a cool project.

• 1:13:33Speaker 01

  Like my video.

• 1:13:34Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:13:34Speaker 01

  Still got a million and a half views. I got paid. You guys got, uh, you know, to hang out with someone. No, you guys.

• 1:13:41Speaker 01

  It's good, it's good.

• 1:13:42Speaker 04

  It's like everyone is saying, we would have, we would have like complied with everything you wanted to do and hang out with you. And it's exactly what fucking Brandon came down and did. He did this, he did such a good video.

• 1:13:55Speaker 01

  Yeah, it was a great time. We all had fun. I really appreciate you guys providing me with that opportunity.

• 1:13:59Speaker 03

  Dude, you've been a blast. Like, we've always, like, I respect the shit out of you. You make great content. And then you're just all around a good dude.

• 1:14:06Speaker 04

  And that was, that was one of the things, I was actually talking to my dad earlier today, and he was asking like who the podcast guest was today, and I kind of had to explain like what you did a little bit. But I'm like, no, he's not like a lot of the other guys. Like, and one of the things that stuck out as far as something that let me kind of like have an insight, having not met you before, but like having an insight on your character a bit, is, you know, we had had like minor interactions in the past, but when we invited you to Range Day, and you had like a plus one, like a camera guy, uh, but you had asked for an additional plus one, which like occasionally happens, like that's fine, whatever, but you'd ask for an additional plus one for your grandfather.

• 1:14:43Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:14:44Speaker 04

  Like to come out to Range Day. We were immediately like, yes, absolutely. That sounds fucking awesome. But like, you know, a lot of these guys would have brought out like a girlfriend or a this or whatever. And you're just like, no, my grandfather'd get a kick out of this.

• 1:14:54Speaker 01

  Yeah, shout out to Paw Paw. Dude, I love that guy.

• 1:14:56Speaker 04

  That went such a long way. What's your video called that you made about Brandon and like hanging out down here? What was your video?

• 1:15:02Speaker 01

  Um, I think Inside the Life of Gun Tubers, I think.

• 1:15:06Speaker 03

  Yeah. What's Up with San Antonio Grinder, I think was the title of that.

• 1:15:10Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah. We're hot dudes in San Antonio.

• 1:15:13Speaker 01

  Yeah. Five gay guys with guns.

• 1:15:16Speaker 03

  Hey, we high five all this and we float around.

• 1:15:21Speaker 01

  Bang.

• 1:15:24Speaker 03

  All our guns sound like that. Bang, bang.

• 1:15:28Speaker 04

  Eighteen naked cowboys in the showers at demolition ranch.

• 1:15:32Speaker 03

  Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. That's my machine gun.

• 1:15:36Speaker 04

  Dear God.

• 1:15:41Speaker 04

  Couple guys in the audience got it.

• 1:15:43Speaker 03

  That's fucking hilarious, dude.

• 1:15:45Speaker 01

  Bang.

• 1:15:48Speaker 03

  I would make a gay son of a gun now. It moans when you shoot it.

• 1:15:54Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:15:55Speaker 03

  Yeah, no. Kitten.

• 1:16:00Speaker 04

  Just having a muzzle brake, like instead of like a trumpet thing, like just makes a gay noise.

• 1:16:06Speaker 03

  Your million dollar idea.

• 1:16:07Speaker 04

  The muzzle gay.

• 1:16:08Speaker 01

  It'd be intimidating. You just hear gay moans, like, oh, my God, they're coming.

• 1:16:12Speaker 03

  Literally.

• 1:16:14Speaker 01

  Get that, yeah, get that in the hand.

• 1:16:15Speaker 04

  Put one of those in the hood. It's like double emotional damage.

• 1:16:18Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:16:19Speaker 04

  Not fucked up. You know what just killed me about those fucking hood rats, though?

• 1:16:24Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 1:16:24Speaker 04

  Is, oh, hell, they would, they would.

• 1:16:27Speaker 03

  I don't know why hood rats sound racist when you say.

• 1:16:32Speaker 04

  It sounds so racist when I say it.

• 1:16:36Speaker 04

  Anytime, anytime you'd arrest them, the, the biggest thing they could say against you was like, you gay, like, you gay, you gay.

• 1:16:44Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:16:44Speaker 04

  It's like, I know when you guys go to juvie and you go to jail, I know you fuck each other. I know you do.

• 1:16:50Speaker 01

  Holy crap.

• 1:16:51Speaker 04

  I know you do that. Didn't you say that you guys would use that against people where if you had like video of them fucking another dude, like you would use that as like street blackmail? You think the dudes at the fucking jail don't send us the videos of you guys fucking each other? Because it's not gay if you're in prison? And you're calling me gay? I've seen you fuck another man. No, you call me gay, you gay. You gay as shit. I've, I've seen this happen. Like, I have seen this happen.

• 1:17:18Speaker 01

  That's wild, dude. You're not wrong, though.

• 1:17:21Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:17:22Speaker 01

  Oh, fuck.

• 1:17:26Speaker 03

  Brandon just faded away in bushes. He just fades through his chair.

• 1:17:30Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah, I trust Chase.

• 1:17:33Speaker 04

  Do you want another drink?

• 1:17:34Speaker 01

  Yeah, that'd be sick.

• 1:17:34Speaker 04

  Uh, what would you have?

• 1:17:35Speaker 01

  Uh, a little bit of Coke with the, with the sauce.

• 1:17:39Speaker 03

  Dude, that's, have you had any police interactions when you're hanging out with any of the, uh, gangs or what, filming your videos?

• 1:17:47Speaker 01

  Yeah, I would say the, the most negative one was I was in Cortland Avenue in New York, and I always have a fanny pack on me, and I was leaving filming with these guys, and then, um, like, three cops, um, like jogged at me and essentially immediately put me in handcuffs without telling me anything and searched my fanny pack. Uh.

• 1:18:06Speaker 03

  Oh, really? For you? They just?

• 1:18:08Speaker 01

  Immediately, yeah. Which was pretty crazy. It was definitely illegal. But I kind of get it because it's like, I look like I could be a crackhead hanging out, either buying drugs or buying guns from people. So I didn't like throw that big of a fit. But yeah, that was the worst experience. It's like half on camera in the video.

• 1:18:23Speaker 03

  Or you're just like, yo.

• 1:18:24Speaker 01

  Cops swarmed me. It's like, yeah, it was like, I think it was three or four cops. Yeah, they just like swarm me. But I, I get it.

• 1:18:29Speaker 03

  Yeah, I mean, you're in that area and then they don't know.

• 1:18:31Speaker 01

  What am I doing there? It's like, I'm a YouTuber. It's like, yeah, are you buying crack and have a gun? I get it.

• 1:18:36Speaker 03

  Where they caught off guard when it's like, oh.

• 1:18:38Speaker 01

  As soon as they realized I didn't have anything on me, they like left quick. But beyond that, I mean, I've done dozens and dozens. I've had no, no negative interactions. Like, we've had interactions, but not really that negative, you know?

• 1:18:49Speaker 03

  A lot of times if you're respectful, like, it's just a respectful game. Yeah, that's what people don't get.

• 1:18:54Speaker 01

  That was the one time I was like.

• 1:18:55Speaker 03

  De-escalate or escalate the situation? Oh, de-escalate it by being nice and kind.

• 1:19:02Speaker 01

  But, I mean, yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't blame them for thinking.

• 1:19:05Speaker 03

  It's a hard trade off. Yeah, you get like everything, dude, that's, if you're growing up and that's all you're surrounded by, and then your parents are saying and reinforcing a certain behavior, then you have no idea. Like, it's just, it's that generational battle of, well.

• 1:19:20Speaker 01

  Yeah. And then we had an interesting interaction in Kensington, Philadelphia, if you guys are familiar with that, that part of the country. It's like one of the worst, uh.

• 1:19:28Speaker 03

  It's a drug, drug place.

• 1:19:29Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's like, it's like Skid Row of Phil, of the East Coast.

• 1:19:32Speaker 03

  Isn't it like the hot, like one of the highest, uh, places for fentanyl?

• 1:19:37Speaker 01

  Yeah, fentanyl and something called, uh, trank or xylazine, which is a horse tranquilizer that has, uh, necrosis factors, like it rots your flesh.

• 1:19:46Speaker 03

  Cody, have you?

• 1:19:48Speaker 04

  Crocodile.

• 1:19:48Speaker 01

  It's similar.

• 1:19:50Speaker 03

  So this, uh, you've probably seen footage. You ever seen where they do, uh, some of these drive bys where it's just people, like it looks grimy as fuck, and then everyone's just zombieing out?

• 1:19:58Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, it's usually.

• 1:19:59Speaker 03

  Skid Row in like LA and shit like.

• 1:20:01Speaker 04

  No, it's same, same thing.

• 1:20:03Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:20:04Speaker 01

  Same vibe, just East Coast. It is where, I would say, I've been to both of them videos on both. It was worse. But yeah, my video in Kensington is one of the few videos where I'm actually just hanging out with all those people over the course of two days all, all night, just like, like we're hanging out right now. Um, and it's a pretty insane perspective.

• 1:20:19Speaker 03

  I mean, I'm curious, what, what do you think that chemical mixes they're all like fucking with? It's gotta be some fent in there.

• 1:20:25Speaker 01

  It's the, the majority of it is fent and, thank you so much, and xylazine, uh, which is the, a horde, like I said, a horse tranquilizer that rots your flesh. And they, they mix it up because it has like, uh, benzo properties. So it's like, uh, you know, anxiety reducing with the painkiller.

• 1:20:42Speaker 03

  Yeah, so they're just out.

• 1:20:43Speaker 01

  So you can see my videos there and on, um, uh, in Vancouver, East Hastings Street, people will have no skin all over their legs or no skin all over their arms.

• 1:20:53Speaker 03

  Brandon, what, what video is this that you're talking about? Your video?

• 1:20:56Speaker 01

  The, the one is the King of Kensington, uh, it's, it's got like four million views. I think it's my third most viewed video. And then East Hastings has like a million views. It's life on East Hastings Street.

• 1:21:06Speaker 04

  Because you have such like a raw and unfiltered look at some of these societies and like some of these elements of society, rather, like, do you get age restricted a bunch?

• 1:21:15Speaker 01

  Yeah, there's some, there's some problems, uh, with the monetization for sure. But yeah, that's why, that's why things like Pepperbox and things like Patreon are, are so beneficial because, yeah, people probably have a bit of a skewed perspective on how much money they think I make. I wouldn't be making a GoFundMe for my health bills if I was like, I had millions of dollars in the bank.

• 1:21:33Speaker 03

  He's making one billion dollars off of this a month.

• 1:21:36Speaker 01

  Yeah. No, there's a lot of demonetizations and, and stuff like that. And for me, I'd rather have like a really good video that is evergreen than have it be all crazy censored and show like a warped, uh, version of reality. And then I get paid off of like crap. You know what I mean?

• 1:21:52Speaker 03

  But should we put him on Pepperbox? Just answer down below.

• 1:21:55Speaker 04

  Yeah, who would like to see him on Pepperbox?

• 1:21:57Speaker 03

  I think it'd be great.

• 1:21:58Speaker 01

  A documentary section on Pepperbox would be sick.

• 1:22:01Speaker 04

  So we're looking and doing a few documentaries like with Jack and stuff like that. Like, that's something that we, I think we, I think it's also like a huge asset to Pepperbox too, to be able to show like these unfiltered views in societies like that or elements of society where you can't do it on YouTube because they'll, they'll age restrict you and they'll basically just plummet you in the algorithm to the ground where nobody sees it.

• 1:22:22Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's ridiculous. Some of their policies, they don't make any sense. Like, you can't even talk about, um, uh, health, disarm. You know what I'm talking about? I don't want to say it because we're

• 1:22:34Speaker 02

  Blanket.

• 1:22:36Speaker 01

  Well, you can't.

• 1:22:36Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:22:37Speaker 01

  You can't really talk about mental health stuff. You really can't talk too much about drug addictions. Like in my videos, uh, like I've done segments where I'll go and I'll show like the addicts suffering in the street and then I'll show like some of the places where they could get help and YouTube will make me remove the rehab sections because you can't promote rehabilitation services on YouTube.

• 1:22:54Speaker 04

  Cause that's something we've talked about a bunch on the podcast before is like veterans side and things that I think are incredibly fucking important, but you can't talk about it without risk risking YouTube.

• 1:23:04Speaker 02

  You said the word, Brandon.

• 1:23:05Speaker 04

  Yeah, no, I said, oh, we have, we have to use

• 1:23:07Speaker 02

  Sewer slide.

• 1:23:09Speaker 04

  Stupid fucking words like sewer, sewer slide, or like, what is it? Self.

• 1:23:13Speaker 01

  So dumb, dude.

• 1:23:14Speaker 04

  Self delete, like shit like that. It's like, dude, you're just devaluing an issue. That's one of the biggest things that we're facing.

• 1:23:19Speaker 01

  Yeah, it needs to be talked about and not the action to be normalized, but talking about it should be normalized. That's the only way that you can get help. So when YouTube makes it so impossible to talk about it, the only person suffering are the people that are like actually suffering.

• 1:23:31Speaker 04

  Which pisses me off because it's corporations like Google that are basically making the decision that instead of actually finding ways that we can get these people help, I'd rather have sponsorships from Nabisco so people, people can buy more Oreos. That's the, that's the decision that they're making. They want it to be advertiser friendly.

• 1:23:46Speaker 02

  The trade off Funko Pops.

• 1:23:49Speaker 03

  It's wild when you put it in that perspective.

• 1:23:51Speaker 01

  Yeah, that is messed up.

• 1:23:53Speaker 03

  My friend offed himself with, thank God that Captain America Funko Pop came out.

• 1:23:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, they got an extra two million from Funko Pops. Have any of you guys been to Greenland before?

• 1:24:03Speaker 04

  Never.

• 1:24:03Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:24:03Speaker 01

  Oh, well, that kind of ends the conversation.

• 1:24:06Speaker 04

  No, it doesn't. It makes it more interesting. What's up?

• 1:24:09Speaker 01

  Well, I've never been, but I'm about to go in like next week. So I just wanted to know if you guys had been and what it was like and everything.

• 1:24:14Speaker 03

  I hear it's icy. It is Iceland and Greenland, but they're opposite with.

• 1:24:18Speaker 04

  Just flip us off?

• 1:24:19Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:24:20Speaker 03

  Sorry, sorry. But it's opposite and, uh, the scenery.

• 1:24:24Speaker 02

  Do you learn that from Mighty Ducks when we were growing up?

• 1:24:27Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 1:24:28Speaker 02

  Aubrey knows who I'm talking about. There's the only, the only reason I know the difference between like, uh, Greenland and Iceland is because growing up in the Mighty Ducks, they said, uh, Greenland is icy and Iceland is green.

• 1:24:43Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:24:43Speaker 02

  Mm hmm.

• 1:24:44Speaker 03

  That's actual like true.

• 1:24:45Speaker 04

  Well, yeah.

• 1:24:46Speaker 03

  Yeah. That's probably where I remember that from is Mighty Ducks back in the day.

• 1:24:50Speaker 02

  Like back in the day.

• 1:24:52Speaker 03

  Show off the mix on video. Ah, see you guys watched it. Ben, play it back with me mixing it.

• 1:24:59Speaker 04

  So it looks like purple drank, but what do you have there, Eli?

• 1:25:02Speaker 03

  I have the longevity mix and this stuff actually tastes really good.

• 1:25:07Speaker 04

  What's the purpose of the longevity mix?

• 1:25:08Speaker 03

  Longevity.

• 1:25:09Speaker 04

  Why would anyone want to live longer?

• 1:25:11Speaker 03

  I don't know.

• 1:25:12Speaker 04

  Well, if having more life is something that's interesting to you, you should try blueprint.

• 1:25:16Speaker 03

  Now with one scoop, what all do you get? And why am I drinking it? Because it comes with everything. Magnesium, glycerin, creatine, you name it, it's in it and all in one scoop.

• 1:25:27Speaker 04

  How does it taste?

• 1:25:28Speaker 03

  There's no artificial sweeteners in this one.

• 1:25:30Speaker 04

  Can I try it?

• 1:25:31Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:25:32Speaker 04

  No, it's like, it's a pretty like flavorless, which in for something like this is a good thing.

• 1:25:35Speaker 03

  This is blood orange.

• 1:25:36Speaker 04

  That's why it's pink.

• 1:25:40Speaker 03

  It also helps with your mood, focus, sleep, cellular resilience and healthy aging.

• 1:25:46Speaker 04

  It's what Brian Johnson uses, which is why he looks so young.

• 1:25:49Speaker 03

  If you don't know who Brian Johnson is, he's the guy that is trying to live to be 200.

• 1:25:53Speaker 04

  He wants to live to the year 2140, uh, which it means that he wants to be in his prime during the year 2077 because he's a major cyberpunk fan.

• 1:26:01Speaker 03

  And because it is just one scoop, you don't have to have all the pills and the bottles everywhere. And even creatine, gone.

• 1:26:07Speaker 04

  It's science-backed, precision dosed, no bull.

• 1:26:10Speaker 03

  And blueprint is third party tested. So they make sure none of the bad stuff's in there.

• 1:26:27Speaker 01

  The nineties. Greenland is like the biggest island in the world and there's only like 50,000 people living there. But, uh, I've heard some interesting stuff about like Thule Air Force Base in the north part of Greenland. And there's like some stuff allegedly going on with Russia and America and a possible, you know, conflict up there.

• 1:26:42Speaker 04

  That's one of the reasons why Greenland's always been very, you know, one of the reasons why we've always kind of looked at that is because it basically cuts our response time in half. If we were ever going to have a nuclear threat or things like that, like that, that sort of response element is why, one of the many reasons why Greenland's always been appealing to the United States.

• 1:26:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's super tactical position up there, right?

• 1:27:00Speaker 04

  Yeah. Cause I mean, anytime you're going to go to Europe, like you basically have to pass over Iceland or excuse me, Greenland.

• 1:27:05Speaker 03

  Fuel everything from there. So it's a lot shorter distance to just.

• 1:27:08Speaker 04

  And they've, they've allowed us to have bases there. Like we're, we're allowed to basically be strategically located there.

• 1:27:14Speaker 02

  What are you going up there for, bub? If we can talk about it.

• 1:27:17Speaker 01

  Yeah, of course. I'm going to Nuk and, uh, Aluasat, which are the two most inhabited places of Greenland. I'm going to do videos about like, uh, you know, life in the Arctic or life as an Inuit. And then I'm going to go to Reykjavik, Iceland. Uh, this viewer reached out to me saying that he was a former drug dealer and has all this information about the criminal underworld of Iceland. And I was like, that sounds pretty interesting. So I'm going to go out there and talk to this guy and all the, the people that he knows. Um, I mean, I'm kind of rolling the dice. I don't really know him, but I've talked to him on the phone. It seems interesting.

• 1:27:45Speaker 04

  You won't get shot, but you might get ice picked.

• 1:27:47Speaker 01

  To the heart.

• 1:27:48Speaker 03

  Way worse.

• 1:27:49Speaker 01

  And then, and then I'm going to Ekalo at Nunavut, which is the northernmost province in Canada. Just like similar thing. There's actually like, uh, 15 homeless people in this place called Ekalo, which is like freezing 10 months out of the year. And, uh, yeah, I just want to see what it's like for these people and, you know, what their everyday is.

• 1:28:05Speaker 02

  What, what do you, what do you think your biggest criminal enterprise is in Greenland? Like, what do you think that they're, they're doing up there?

• 1:28:12Speaker 01

  That's a good question. I would think drugs.

• 1:28:15Speaker 02

  Well, I mean, definitely it's drugs everywhere. What do you, what do you think they're?

• 1:28:19Speaker 01

  I don't know. Cause I was looking into, there's no like gangs or organized crime. There's no prostitution. There's no, there, there, there's not much. It's mostly domestic violence because.

• 1:28:27Speaker 04

  Too cold to not have clothes on.

• 1:28:28Speaker 01

  Yeah, seriously.

• 1:28:30Speaker 02

  But it's, it's methamphetamine.

• 1:28:31Speaker 01

  Yeah, probably methamphetamine. I would.

• 1:28:33Speaker 02

  I haven't looked it up. I'm just, I'm just.

• 1:28:35Speaker 01

  I think so.

• 1:28:35Speaker 02

  If you're, if you're in a, like an isolated country like that, and you're, you're, you're trying to build some type of illegal trade there, it probably is going to be methamphetamine.

• 1:28:46Speaker 04

  Cause I mean, you can't grow anything.

• 1:28:47Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, exactly. You can't grow. There's probably not a big weed trade up there. It's just.

• 1:28:55Speaker 01

  Their days are wonky. They have something called the midnight sun.

• 1:28:57Speaker 02

  Eli, do you look it up?

• 1:28:58Speaker 03

  The highest drug usage is cannabis and psychedelics.

• 1:29:03Speaker 01

  Psychedelic.

• 1:29:03Speaker 03

  Well, well, very low rates for opioid or ADHD meth drugs. So those are the actual low use. And they use the two opposites.

• 1:29:16Speaker 03

  Into, I wouldn't have guessed like weed and get tripping balls, but if it's.

• 1:29:20Speaker 01

  That's fascinating.

• 1:29:20Speaker 03

  Rocks and stuff. Maybe they just.

• 1:29:22Speaker 02

  It's going to be methamphetamine.

• 1:29:23Speaker 01

  Yeah. When I get up there.

• 1:29:24Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:29:25Speaker 01

  I would imagine they have something called the midnight sun. Like, uh, their days are so wonky. Like half the year it's bright all day. Half the year it's like dark all day. It's pretty.

• 1:29:33Speaker 02

  It's like the vampire movie.

• 1:29:35Speaker 01

  Yeah, pretty much. It'd be a great place for vampires.

• 1:29:36Speaker 02

  What's that fucking vampire movie? Yep. Yeah, thirty days of night.

• 1:29:41Speaker 04

  That movie was perfectly mid.

• 1:29:44Speaker 02

  Perfect match. It could have been cooler.

• 1:29:46Speaker 01

  Yeah, they eat whales.

• 1:29:47Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah. Josh fucking, um, Hardness is in it. Yeah.

• 1:29:51Speaker 03

  Yeah. The whale, are you going to try whale if you can?

• 1:29:53Speaker 01

  Uh, yeah.

• 1:29:54Speaker 03

  That's.

• 1:29:55Speaker 01

  People might be pissed, but.

• 1:29:56Speaker 04

  Whale meat?

• 1:29:57Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's illegal, but they can do it. I think that's.

• 1:29:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's part of their culture. Yeah.

• 1:30:00Speaker 04

  It's like a religious thing.

• 1:30:01Speaker 01

  They have it in Japan as well. I tried it in Japan. Unless.

• 1:30:04Speaker 03

  How was that?

• 1:30:05Speaker 01

  Or maybe I didn't. I don't know. It was like a mix between fish and steak. It was good.

• 1:30:08Speaker 03

  That's what.

• 1:30:09Speaker 01

  I had raw whale.

• 1:30:10Speaker 04

  So high fat?

• 1:30:11Speaker 01

  Uh, I don't, I'm not sure what the, what the fat count is, but I know people get really upset about it, but you can't complain about like a culture that's been eating whale for hundreds of years, doing what they do.

• 1:30:20Speaker 03

  Yeah. It's part of their, well, it's, it's one of their, um, as you said, it's like a religious thing or it's this social thing they do once a year with the stabbing the whales.

• 1:30:29Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:30:30Speaker 03

  Right? Is that the right place where they bring them and stab them with? No, no, in Greenland.

• 1:30:35Speaker 01

  I've seen that in Japan. I'm not sure. And I'm not sure in Greenland, but I know that it's like a big, there's not very many resources. So it's kind of something that they rely on. It's like seals and whale.

• 1:31:17Speaker 04

  That is alarmingly fair.

• 1:31:19Speaker 01

  Yeah. That's really interesting.

• 1:31:21Speaker 04

  Well, there, I think there's also a huge difference between like hunting something to extinction for excess or for export or things like that versus like this is something that my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather did. Like, you know, this is something we've always done and they're not at any risk if we do it at this rate.

• 1:31:35Speaker 01

  Yeah, they're not going buffalo mode.

• 1:31:37Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:31:38Speaker 01

  I think they're being reasonable about it.

• 1:31:40Speaker 04

  If you pull up the fucking picture of like the, the stack of buffalo skulls that we had back in the day when we were like expanding onto the frontier, we kind of went ham.

• 1:31:48Speaker 01

  I don't know if that's a saying, but buffalo mode.

• 1:31:50Speaker 04

  It is now.

• 1:31:51Speaker 01

  Yeah, like it's, you know what I'm fucking talking about.

• 1:31:54Speaker 03

  That's a good shirt, actually. Yo, I'm going buffalo mode and you just stacking bodies?

• 1:31:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, ripping shit up.

• 1:32:00Speaker 04

  Just with a skull, a big skull.

• 1:32:01Speaker 03

  A buffalo skull, buffalo mode?

• 1:32:04Speaker 01

  Yeah, that would be interesting. I want to do videos about, um, life on the reservations for Native Americans. I feel like that'd be interesting. I haven't done that yet.

• 1:32:10Speaker 04

  Awesome, guys.

• 1:32:11Speaker 01

  Um, you do?

• 1:32:12Speaker 04

  Yeah, we actually do.

• 1:32:13Speaker 01

  That's sick.

• 1:32:14Speaker 04

  If you, if you want to get hooked up, we can.

• 1:32:15Speaker 01

  I would like, I know, like, yeah, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma are like big areas.

• 1:32:19Speaker 04

  Arizona.

• 1:32:20Speaker 01

  Yeah, Arizona, the Dakotas.

• 1:32:22Speaker 02

  You know, they, they have their own gangs too. So you gotta watch out for that.

• 1:32:25Speaker 01

  I've heard that crime and drug use is really rampant and on some of those communities.

• 1:32:30Speaker 02

  It's pretty gnarly.

• 1:32:31Speaker 01

  As well as mental health issues.

• 1:32:34Speaker 03

  Alcoholism, uh, yeah, they have a couple of issues.

• 1:32:38Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:32:39Speaker 03

  Alcoholism, they, why is it a problem? It's like their body.

• 1:32:43Speaker 04

  Well, so it's, it's, um, it's something that I always thought was overblown. Like I always thought like, oh yeah, well, anybody could become like, like an alcoholic, like if you, you know, with the wrong habits. Uh, one of my, my mentors back in the day, I will say, was majority, like his bloodline, it was majority like Native American. And I always say, he's like, ah, no, I don't really drink, you know, beer, alcohol, anything like that. And one day he had a beer with us. And I won't out him. He's still a very good friend. I, I love him to death. I thought it was always like super exaggerated. He had one angry orchard, like one, one like sugary beer. And he was like piss himself in his chair drunk.

• 1:33:26Speaker 01

  Yeah, cause they metabolize it differently.

• 1:33:27Speaker 04

  Very differently. And I, I thought he was fucking with me. And he was piss himself into like, I don't want to get up and go to the bathroom. Like he was that bad off.

• 1:33:36Speaker 01

  Whoa.

• 1:33:37Speaker 04

  And.

• 1:33:37Speaker 01

  Of one?

• 1:33:38Speaker 04

  Off of one. And it, like 10 minutes later, he was fine. Like they just metabolize it super fucking fast.

• 1:33:45Speaker 01

  That's what I heard about Greenlanders as well.

• 1:33:46Speaker 04

  Really?

• 1:33:47Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:33:47Speaker 04

  Interesting.

• 1:33:48Speaker 01

  So I was really, I was curious to go to the bars on a Friday night and see if I could, you know, capture some of that alcohol culture.

• 1:33:53Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 1:33:54Speaker 01

  Cause apparently they get like hammered off three drinks, like hammered, hammered.

• 1:33:57Speaker 03

  Isn't that wild reading? It's like they don't care about meth or anything. It's like cocaine and cannabis are their two main. Everything else is very low use.

• 1:34:04Speaker 04

  That's Greenland?

• 1:34:05Speaker 02

  Brandon, real quick, if you, if you do the rez thing, we know a guy.

• 1:34:10Speaker 01

  Yeah, that'd be really cool. I've, I've always been really interested. I've never done it. My grandfather has a, uh, half-blooded, uh, Native American sister. So I want to, I want to trace and see if I have any Native American roots. Or like if, if she had kids, I would have Native American relatives. That would be really interesting.

• 1:34:26Speaker 04

  You might have claim to a casino.

• 1:34:28Speaker 01

  Seriously, I'm going to cash out. Blackjack.

• 1:34:33Speaker 02

  Yeah. When, when it comes to law enforcement out there, just like let us know.

• 1:34:36Speaker 01

  Yeah. Cause it's different, right? The rules are, the rules are different on the reservation. They have their own self-governing situation.

• 1:34:41Speaker 04

  It's very strange because they're, they're within the continental United States, but they're kind of governed as their own independent, you know.

• 1:34:47Speaker 02

  It's like a sovereign type thing.

• 1:34:49Speaker 04

  Yeah. Not like sovereign citizen. This is where like legally they're actually sovereign. They just read something on Reddit.

• 1:34:55Speaker 01

  Yeah, I feel like there's a lot of interesting stories within there. Yeah. I was doing some, some research on like, uh, what, what was it? Um, like Sitting Bull? Do you know what I'm talking about? The guy? He died in like 1901. That's not that long ago. It's like the, the Wild West and the, the end of the Native American, uh, situation is pretty, pretty interesting how recent that was.

• 1:35:14Speaker 04

  Yeah. It's like, it's, it's definitely, uh, it's, it's kind of crazy how you, you'll read about these things throughout history and then you forget that like your grandfather was alive when it happened.

• 1:35:23Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:35:24Speaker 04

  Like, you know, different things like that. It's, it's, it like, you don't, you don't contextualize it until you hear something like, yeah, Rosa Parks was alive to watch the movie Shrek.

• 1:35:34Speaker 01

  That's true.

• 1:35:35Speaker 04

  Oh, fuck. Wait a minute.

• 1:35:37Speaker 01

  Dude, yeah, that's crazy. That's super gnarly.

• 1:35:41Speaker 03

  In the past, Greenland government implemented temporary and local alcohol cell bans.

• 1:35:46Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:35:47Speaker 03

  This is also like 20, as recent as 2020, to curb domestic abuse and protect children.

• 1:35:54Speaker 01

  Yeah. Cause they're, they're chin checking their wives and, and kids off that liquor. So I read, I don't know.

• 1:36:02Speaker 03

  I've never heard of chin check.

• 1:36:03Speaker 04

  That.

• 1:36:05Speaker 01

  It's apparently a real thing. I don't know. I haven't been there. I don't know any of them. I don't think it's good that they're doing it.

• 1:36:12Speaker 04

  No. Wild, yeah, crazy take. I don't think that's a good thing. Um.

• 1:36:19Speaker 03

  I've just never heard it called that. Which, uh, video are you, uh, most excited for coming up? Or do you have them planned that far out? Where you're like, oh man, I really look forward

• 1:36:27Speaker 01

  Oh dude, I'm most excited about the India videos. Cause we went to India like last month.

• 1:36:33Speaker 04

  No shit?

• 1:36:33Speaker 01

  Yeah, for like 16 days. It was like the first thing I filmed since coming back from almost dying, which is probably not the most responsible decision, but.

• 1:36:43Speaker 04

  How was it though? Like what, what, what would you say about your experience there?

• 1:36:46Speaker 01

  Bro, so interestingly enough, India is so beautiful and just totally clean. And there's just no trash anywhere.

• 1:36:57Speaker 04

  I'd like to believe you.

• 1:36:59Speaker 01

  No, I was, I hope, I was hoping I could find a little enclave that was like that. But no, it was very, very, very filthy and a lot of piss and shit everywhere. But, um, that's just because they're having sanitation issues. But it, it was a really fun trip and I really enjoyed my time. I went to New Delhi, Agra, Varanasi and Mumbai. So we went all around and the Indian people were, were great to us, but there's definitely some trash problems.

• 1:37:19Speaker 04

  I grew up around a lot of, a lot of people that were like straight, like, uh, like not first generation, but like second generation Indians who had made it to the United States. Like I, I grew up around a lot of that culture and, uh, none of them want to go back.

• 1:37:32Speaker 01

  It's, dude, there's this culture of driving there where everyone honks their horn at all times. Have you ever heard about this?

• 1:37:37Speaker 04

  No.

• 1:37:38Speaker 01

  Like, uh, Eli was with me. It was so insane. I'm talking about, imagine, I know there's a thousand cars in deadlock traffic and every car is honking their horn.

• 1:37:47Speaker 04

  Why?

• 1:37:48Speaker 01

  It's apparently like, uh, just their culture of driving. Like I'm here, like on the back of big 16 wheelers, there's like signs that say blow your horn. I wish I was making it up. But me as like a, a little autistic, uh, retard, I was like spazzing out with all the horns. I was like.

• 1:38:03Speaker 04

  That sounds fucking awful. Like overstimulated.

• 1:38:05Speaker 01

  Yeah, it was very overstimulating. Um, but we did a bunch of, bunch of interesting stuff. Like we went to the city of Varanasi, which is called the city of death. And we spoke to an agory cannibal, a man that, uh, is a, uh, uh, I mean, not, it's not alleged. He eats human flesh. And we went to this gat, this crematorium gat where they burn like, uh, over a hundred bodies every day.

• 1:38:24Speaker 04

  So what's the scenario in which he, so as a, an open cannibal that he eats human flesh? A, why? And B, how?

• 1:38:31Speaker 01

  Um, so why is, is apparently to, uh, distance their fear of death. So they're like,

• 1:38:39Speaker 01

  apparently drink piss and eat shit and eat human bodies and, you know, hang out by these crematorium gats to lessen their fear and lower their ego is, is what they say. But this guy just fucking smoked weed all day and was kind of a dickhead, to be honest.

• 1:38:53Speaker 02

  But he also just ate.

• 1:38:55Speaker 01

  Dude, he, he had the skull of like a 10 year old and a 12 year old that he carried around that he, you know, severed from a body. Um, which I, I think is, you know, desecration of a corpse and isn't cool.

• 1:39:05Speaker 02

  Yeah. Does he know that's wrong?

• 1:39:08Speaker 01

  Well, they, they, it's apparently like accepted in their culture. So it's like, you know, who am I to say it's wrong? But in the, the way that I feel is like, yeah, dude, that guy should be in, in prison or at least have his ass kicked. Maybe I shouldn't say that, but, um.

• 1:39:21Speaker 04

  That's, that's fucking wild. It was like, oh, it's to lessen my fear of death. I was like, you could just also like, I don't know, go to church or something like that's, you don't have to eat the flesh of a 10 year old.

• 1:39:30Speaker 01

  Yeah. Do some pushups in it, mate.

• 1:39:31Speaker 04

  Yeah. Just anything, literally anything that just helps you with your.

• 1:39:34Speaker 01

  Yeah. We have that video and a bunch of YouTubers have done a video with this exact same guy, Raj Kumar Agori. I just thought he was a, a bit of a jerk off. And I don't, I don't rush to say that about somebody, but he was, uh, he was, he was annoying, bro. Like he, he thought he was the shit and he, I just thought he was a weirdo with these skulls and doing this weird, uh, ceremony and stuff. I don't want to.

• 1:39:53Speaker 03

  Do you feel like it was a lot of hyping it up? Yeah. Like I did all this. And it's just like stolen valor.

• 1:40:00Speaker 01

  Exactly.

• 1:40:00Speaker 03

  Like he's a cannibal stolen valor.

• 1:40:02Speaker 01

  If you look him up online, he's like had all these different girlfriends and apparently the real Agori, they wouldn't ever be on camera. They like hide in the hills and stuff. So, you know, I don't know what to believe, but, um, that was a really interesting video I'm excited for. And then there's a video about the, uh, Balsawa village. Uh, I'm probably saying that wrong, but it's a, it's a village that's right next to a landfill and the landfill has been overflowing. It's like a hundred to 300 feet high trash. And it's like pouring over this village where rent is like $20 a month. And we got to go in there and talk to people, met some really kind individuals, individuals that like, you know, welcome us, welcomed us into their homes and their church and, you know, gave us food. They call India the land of a thousand shopkeepers because everyone's selling shit everywhere. It was cool.

• 1:40:44Speaker 03

  Didn't I know it was called that?

• 1:40:45Speaker 01

  I think like, I hope I'm not just making it up.

• 1:40:47Speaker 02

  Brandon, I, I love you so much, man. But after, like, we thought you were fucking dying last year and we were so worried about you. You went to an Indian encampment where people eat, eat other people under a landfill.

• 1:41:06Speaker 02

  And this was.

• 1:41:08Speaker 01

  My first thing back. Yeah. It's probably a bit stupid.

• 1:41:10Speaker 02

  Okay. Okay. We, we love you. We love you, Brandon.

• 1:41:13Speaker 04

  Why do they have such a complicated relationship with trains?

• 1:41:18Speaker 01

  They just can't figure out that those things are dangerous. I guess. I don't really know.

• 1:41:22Speaker 03

  And here we have the local Punjab deciding to stop.

• 1:41:26Speaker 01

  And right where predictably his natural predator, the train will be. Why are there so many videos on Twitter of them getting hit by trains?

• 1:41:34Speaker 04

  I don't get it. There was actually, I saw there was a viral unsub short of me doing the David Attenborough voice on the whole Indian train thing. And half the people in the comments didn't know it was me doing the voice. They're like, how'd you AI David Attenborough?

• 1:41:49Speaker 01

  It's really good, honestly.

• 1:41:50Speaker 04

  But they really do. I really don't get it. And I understand that there's like a certain like cultural part of it where it's like a proof of, I don't know, bravery, where it's like, look at how will, how close I'm willing to get to this thing that will predict predictably kill me.

• 1:42:06Speaker 03

  The train boys? The train boys just go out, fight trains. It's like they're doing the backflips.

• 1:42:13Speaker 04

  Imagine like living your entire life.

• 1:42:16Speaker 03

  Wait, so there's actually, I brought this up. I didn't know it was to court women.

• 1:42:20Speaker 01

  I've seen that. The videos of them doing a flip and then like trying to, you know, get some.

• 1:42:23Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's like a bravery thing or like how like, oh, look at how cool I am or whatever. And then they get smoked by Thomas the dank engine. It's crazy.

• 1:42:31Speaker 03

  Yeah, the back, well, I was like the backflips because I got the videos of them like trying and then they never, very rarely accomplish backflip and then they're like paralyzed from the leg.

• 1:42:40Speaker 01

  There's some interesting stuff. Have you guys heard about Ghorhabba, the shit festival that is in India?

• 1:42:44Speaker 04

  I think Tyler.

• 1:42:46Speaker 01

  So we were scheduled to go there in 2024 and they ended up stopping us on the airplane. Like they, we got, we got to India and they wouldn't let us in. They revoked our E visa on the airplane.

• 1:42:57Speaker 04

  How?

• 1:42:58Speaker 01

  Uh, I don't know. I just feel like that shouldn't be allowed. So we, we were supposed to be in 2024 and then Tyler did it in 2025. It's a whole festival where they throw shit at each other, cow shit, because cows are sacred. And, you know, they eat poop, they drink pee, they smear poop on their face. Poop can help them sleep. It can help them wake up. It can help them with stomach problems. It can help all kinds of things. If you look at them.

• 1:43:18Speaker 04

  Import 2 million of them to Texas right now.

• 1:43:21Speaker 01

  We need them.

• 1:43:21Speaker 03

  I'm just happy I was born here.

• 1:43:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, crazy culture.

• 1:43:24Speaker 04

  We really did. Like we, we got the fucking lottery. Like this is the greatest country in the world.

• 1:43:28Speaker 01

  Dude, if you look at, if you look at the proposed medical benefits of poop in India, and not everywhere, but in certain places, it's crazy.

• 1:43:34Speaker 03

  Wait, this is actually like truly believing the poop pee pee is.

• 1:43:38Speaker 01

  It's wholly medicinal. Yeah.

• 1:43:40Speaker 04

  So something that went through a cow's body that started as grass, these are the health benefits of potentially consuming the waste byproduct.

• 1:43:47Speaker 01

  It sounds just like a racist fever dream joke, but they, they're the ones that are doing it and thinking of it. Like, you know what I mean? I'm not.

• 1:43:55Speaker 04

  What are they saying it does?

• 1:43:57Speaker 01

  Oh, all kinds of stuff. They even, there's even a thing where they think that smearing a certain poop pee concoction can lighten your skin.

• 1:44:04Speaker 01

  On their face. Yeah, there's all kinds of stuff.

• 1:44:06Speaker 03

  Cody, I need you to open your tongue and stick it out and go, ah, okay. And I just place a turd on it.

• 1:44:11Speaker 01

  Anyone, yeah, anyone who's mad about this information, we didn't make this up.

• 1:44:16Speaker 04

  I cannot see a way one would think that smearing cow shit on your tongue would lighten your skin.

• 1:44:23Speaker 03

  It's the age of information what's wild. Cause if you go on, I mean, IG, you get to see some of the weird stuff like when they're doing, uh, dude, that dude, he's like, Dr. Pimple Popper, but for India, but he just uses the same knife over on the like public watch.

• 1:44:38Speaker 04

  People use them as soaps, toothpastes and immune boosters. They are also used in spiritual cleansings. However, doctors warn against these treatments. There is no real proof that poop cures illnesses.

• 1:44:48Speaker 01

  So yeah, you know, you don't wanna, we don't want to be saying this, but we're getting this from them. Apparently they think that, uh, poops can help with immunity to all different kinds of illnesses. It can help with antimicrobial stuff. It can help with cancer. I mean, the list goes on and on and on. Poop is like the greatest.

• 1:45:06Speaker 01

  I can't even say it. Poop is like the, the best.

• 1:45:08Speaker 03

  Shows off camera just now. And she's like, yeah, no, I'm joking. She's looking discussion right now.

• 1:45:13Speaker 01

  It has so many uses.

• 1:45:14Speaker 04

  The percentage of people in Ireland who believe this has gone up recently.

• 1:45:21Speaker 01

  And in Frisco, dude.

• 1:45:25Speaker 01

  Poop has gotten popular in Frisco, I've heard.

• 1:45:26Speaker 04

  I've heard that as well.

• 1:45:28Speaker 01

  Yeah. But to be fair, apparently it's not all Indians. Plenty of Indians are not into the poop games.

• 1:45:34Speaker 04

  No, like I, I grew up around a lot of like second generational, uh, like Indians and things like that. And like, there's a lot of interesting holdovers from Indian culture, but a lot of them are like very secular, like very like, very first world, let's say.

• 1:45:46Speaker 01

  So they probably think it's, it's just as weird as we do.

• 1:45:48Speaker 04

  Yeah. Like if you were raised in the United States, like a lot of them are still just like, kind of like looking back at like traditional Indian customs. And that's, that's what I was saying earlier is like, they don't want to go back. They're like, what the fuck are these people talking about?

• 1:45:58Speaker 01

  I don't blame them.

• 1:45:59Speaker 03

  It's hard. And when you're raised in it, again, it is that taking that step back and you have to understand from their perspective, there is no age of information or it's very different compared to what we hear. And all the time, if your parents are like, yo, did you take your turd sandwich? It's Tuesday. You're gonna believe turd sandwich on Tuesdays. Extremely important.

• 1:46:18Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:46:18Speaker 03

  And you continue to do that and you'll pass that on to your kids and your kids' kids.

• 1:46:22Speaker 04

  You have to get whiter so you can go to a higher caste.

• 1:46:24Speaker 01

  They have a caste system. It's crazy. We got to see the Taj Mahal. India has a lot of beauty and a lot of cool things. Like it's, it's a very complicated, uh, place, I feel. You know what I mean? There's some really incredible stuff and the fact that they built the Taj Mahal in what the 15 or 1600s is pretty wild.

• 1:46:39Speaker 04

  That one building is older than our entire country. Like that's kind of like a crazy concept for us.

• 1:46:44Speaker 01

  Yeah. And it's like a testament to actually some of their civilizational prowess. I know people might laugh at that, but dude, just go, just visit that place. It's crazy. But the Taj Mahal is surrounded by slums, like in the modern day. You'd think like this beautiful wonder of the world has like a booming tourist economy and like rich people around it. It is surrounded by like the poorest of the poor. It was one of the worst slums we went to. It was like literally all of Agra around the Taj Mahal, which was interesting.

• 1:47:11Speaker 04

  And something too, we've had friends that have gone there and they're like worn against bringing like, if you have like a, a blonde girlfriend or something like that, just absolutely do not bring them into that country.

• 1:47:20Speaker 01

  Yeah, I wouldn't personally, but hey, do your own, do your own thing. If you want to, go ahead. I wouldn't.

• 1:47:26Speaker 03

  There's Ramana Jean. That's the Indian dude that was like, do you know Ramana Jean?

• 1:47:32Speaker 01

  No, I don't think so.

• 1:47:33Speaker 03

  He's the one that AMA the movie is that one Indian dude that was born in a low caste and then he just taught himself mathematics. Got to Harvard, was it Harvard? Cambridge. Like they got him into Cambridge because he just wrote a whole bunch of different, uh, papers. And, uh, the professors at Cambridge at the time were opening it and they're like, what the fuck is all this? And he solved a lot of shit. They had no idea. All self-taught. He just read books.

• 1:47:58Speaker 01

  Hmm. It sounds really interesting.

• 1:47:59Speaker 04

  Like one guy in the world figured out how to fucking not eat shit.

• 1:48:03Speaker 03

  Literally.

• 1:48:04Speaker 04

  That's really cool, Eli.

• 1:48:10Speaker 03

  I thought he did great shit.

• 1:48:11Speaker 01

  What's crazy is they worship the cow, right? And there's cows everywhere in the streets. Like there'll be a highway that has to stop because there's cows. But the cow, like half the cows are starving and sitting there in a hundred 10 degree weather. They don't treat them good. They just don't kill them. It's very weird.

• 1:48:26Speaker 04

  It's kind of funny because you'd probably be treated better as an American cow.

• 1:48:29Speaker 01

  Way better, bro. You get food, you get your own little encampment. These cows are just roaming this fucking concrete schoolyard and starving.

• 1:48:36Speaker 04

  That was the other thing too, in, in Jordan, that they had, uh, like stray dogs all over the place.

• 1:48:41Speaker 01

  Everywhere Lebanon too.

• 1:48:43Speaker 04

  All over, like they would find their way onto base. And that's like a base order is that you're not allowed to, to pet or engage with the dog in any way, shape or form. Cause like half of it's like rabies, but you know.

• 1:48:52Speaker 03

  They don't really, and when you say there's a stray dog, it's, people still think it's like, oh, one or two. And you're like, no, no.

• 1:48:59Speaker 01

  Hundreds, thousands.

• 1:49:01Speaker 03

  Just everywhere.

• 1:49:02Speaker 01

  And they seem tired too, right?

• 1:49:04Speaker 04

  Yeah, like a lot of them were like just always napping in the shade and things like that. But it looked like, I, I, the, the closest thing I could compare it to was like a Rhodesian Ridgeback. Like that's sort of like that kind of dog.

• 1:49:14Speaker 01

  The tan, with the tan fur.

• 1:49:15Speaker 04

  Yeah. And it like, it kind of sucked because like I'm coming from the United States. Like I just want to pet the dog. And that was just an unknown, no whatsoever. Like if you domesticate them, apparently they start getting aggressive. If you stop feeding them or stop petting them or stop like they, they, they get aggressive and then it becomes a problem. But that and disease and everything like that.

• 1:49:36Speaker 03

  That's over there as well. It's a big problem. People just don't realize it. Cats, you rarely see stray cats though. Like.

• 1:49:43Speaker 01

  True.

• 1:49:43Speaker 04

  Yeah, we didn't, we didn't see a single cat.

• 1:49:45Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:49:46Speaker 04

  But like in, in Islamic culture, like you're, you're forbidden, I think from, uh, from contacting the dog. Like you're not allowed to pet dogs or.

• 1:49:53Speaker 01

  Oh yeah. You can't have a dog in the house for Muslims.

• 1:49:56Speaker 03

  I forgot about that.

• 1:49:57Speaker 01

  Yeah. Cause they're like non, they're not clean.

• 1:50:02Speaker 01

  Boy, are they missing out.

• 1:50:04Speaker 03

  Wow. They're trying to ban them in Ireland? That's.

• 1:50:07Speaker 04

  Why would that be the case, Joe?

• 1:50:10Speaker 04

  No one in Ireland wants dogs, Joe?

• 1:50:11Speaker 03

  Dogs are allergic to potatoes?

• 1:50:14Speaker 01

  And why did the Irish change their opinions about owning dogs?

• 1:50:19Speaker 01

  Show.

• 1:50:21Speaker 03

  Show the camera turns around. All four cameras turn to show.

• 1:50:24Speaker 04

  I think the dogs have changed their opinion of who they want in Ireland.

• 1:50:31Speaker 03

  Oh, uh, fucking you've been to Japan. Cody just got back from Japan for the first time.

• 1:50:36Speaker 01

  It's so good, isn't it?

• 1:50:37Speaker 03

  Oh, it's fucking rad, man.

• 1:50:38Speaker 01

  So good.

• 1:50:39Speaker 04

  It's cool. It's a good time.

• 1:50:41Speaker 01

  Racist owner operator went to Japan and he loved it. No, but seriously, it is. The culture is different, right? It's a little bit different, but it is so clean. It is so beautiful. People are so respectful.

• 1:50:51Speaker 04

  It's awesome. And then you, you have to carry your trash around with you because there's no trash cans.

• 1:50:56Speaker 01

  On the street. Yeah. That was different.

• 1:50:59Speaker 04

  That was cool. So there's no trash everywhere.

• 1:51:01Speaker 01

  It feels so safe everywhere. Even in like the busiest of cities, you don't feel like anyone's going to rob you or ask you for a dollar or punch you or stab you in the neck or set you on fire or.

• 1:51:10Speaker 04

  I think that's just the places you go to in the States.

• 1:51:13Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah. I'm, I'm kind of referencing the worst of the worst, but a lot of major cities in America have some really rough parts you'd want to avoid. And I went all around Japan and it's super safe.

• 1:51:21Speaker 03

  Dude, when you go in Japan, like Cody, it's like you feel, you're just like, oh, I am good. I didn't even think about, you don't mind your phone out. You just don't think about anything. Like, no one's going to ask you for money even. That'd be, God, that'd be a weird thing to actually experience.

• 1:51:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, there's, there's no JBL speakers, just playing fucking random music. Like everyone's super kind.

• 1:51:42Speaker 04

  It was fucking awesome. High trust society. I think this would call that.

• 1:51:46Speaker 02

  Even?

• 1:51:47Speaker 01

  Yeah, I feel like regular civilians would like turn on you if you were playing music in public like they wouldn't go for it.

• 1:51:52Speaker 04

  They wouldn't be mad about it, though. Are they would be mad about it? They wouldn't be angry about it. Yeah, like, hey dude, would you turn that down? No, they'd all turn into the witch from like Left 4 Dead. Just start sprinting at you, ripping you apart.

• 1:52:05Speaker 01

  It's like, oh shit.

• 1:52:06Speaker 04

  Well, I, I, we, we went on a, one of the high speed trains there at one time and I, I put my bag not facing the way they wanted it to. And like they came up and they're like, you need to do this right now. And I'm like, dude, I don't understand what you're saying. I couldn't understand what the dude was saying at first. He's like, you need to shift your bag to the side and finally got it and turned it and everyone was happy. But I couldn't imagine anyone having like a loud playing speaker on the. How many people in, in Japan spoke English? Like ratio wise, would you say like 30%? No, dude, like ev- everyone at every shop spoke, spoke a slight amount of English. Like you do this, you do like, you do this, you have to do this.

• 1:52:49Speaker 03

  You hand them money, they will give you exact change back.

• 1:52:51Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it was fucking rad.

• 1:52:54Speaker 01

  No tipping either.

• 1:52:55Speaker 04

  Nope. That was also, that was wild too.

• 1:52:57Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's rude to tip there.

• 1:52:59Speaker 04

  Because I'm used to hearing United States, if like a server treats me very well, I'm gonna pull out a hundo and just like, hey, thank you so much for treating my, my party well. Like if we're hanging out at a restaurant or something, be like, here's a hundo. Thank you. Over there, they're just like, I would try to hand them like a hundo in Japanese, like a thousand, I think is what it was. And they were just like, no, no, no. It's like, okay, thank you so much.

• 1:53:24Speaker 01

  They're literally like, sir, take your money. Take your money, sir.

• 1:53:26Speaker 04

  They got mad at me because I was trying to give them money for having a good service to myself and my wife at the time.

• 1:53:33Speaker 01

  But their service is so good.

• 1:53:34Speaker 03

  Oh dude.

• 1:53:35Speaker 04

  And it's incre- oh god, it's incredible.

• 1:53:37Speaker 01

  They're so good.

• 1:53:38Speaker 03

  You, Brandon, you have to go. We, I, that's the one thing I want us all to take a trip there just because the experience of that. Everyone's so respectful. I forgot about when we went to that bar. It's like 90 minutes. Drink as much as you want for 20, unlimited drinks for $20 for 90 minutes.

• 1:53:58Speaker 04

  So this was, this, this trip to Jordan was my first time out of the country ever.

• 1:54:02Speaker 03

  Oh, what? I forgot.

• 1:54:03Speaker 04

  I've never been out of the country. Like most people like go to Cancun or whatever in high school and like get a tattoo or whatever. I, my first time I was 30 years old and I went to Jordan to go visit troops. I don't know. It's pretty tight though. It was cool. It was cool as shit. Like flying into Dubai and then getting like my, my layover there and whatnot and like hearing, and I know like it sounds totally fucking normal. What if you think about it for two seconds, but hearing the Islamic call to prayer over the airport loudspeakers, super loud. As an American, I'm like, this is culture shock. This is kind of wild. But doing that and like going there to, to Oman, everything like that, like it was, it was really neat. It was a very cool experience and I would, I would love to do it more.

• 1:54:42Speaker 03

  Dude, we gotta, yeah. Then we need a plane subject for Japan because I think you would have a blast and all of us would go again.

• 1:54:48Speaker 04

  Yeah, especially if we.

• 1:54:48Speaker 02

  Japan trip, dude.

• 1:54:50Speaker 04

  Especially if we could link it up with some of the troops that are deployed there in Japan.

• 1:54:53Speaker 03

  Oh dude.

• 1:54:54Speaker 04

  Or stationed there, rather.

• 1:54:55Speaker 03

  Yeah. Just do a, oh man, where is it? Where's the duty station in Japan?

• 1:55:01Speaker 03

  Okinawa, yeah.

• 1:55:01Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:55:02Speaker 03

  Just doing.

• 1:55:02Speaker 01

  Oh, it'd be so cool to go to Okinawa. That's the island on the southern tip, right?

• 1:55:05Speaker 03

  Yep. We've never been, I've never been there.

• 1:55:07Speaker 01

  I've never been to Okinawa and I haven't been to Sapporo. I've only been to the middle stuff like Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto.

• 1:55:12Speaker 03

  Sapporo was, wasn't that, uh, Mr. Fukunara? Fukunari?

• 1:55:17Speaker 04

  Yes. Funaki.

• 1:55:18Speaker 03

  Funaki.

• 1:55:19Speaker 04

  Oh, he was, he was on the, he's on the north horn up there, right? Northern island of is Sapporo, yeah.

• 1:55:26Speaker 03

  Oh, so it's the same general area?

• 1:55:28Speaker 04

  Well, it's Hokkaido is the northern island. Sapporo is the big city up there, but yeah.

• 1:55:32Speaker 03

  Yes. And we got a place to stay too.

• 1:55:34Speaker 01

  Yeah, you guys gotta go. That place is so.

• 1:55:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, if we go seven hours north.

• 1:55:37Speaker 03

  Oh, we'll fly.

• 1:55:39Speaker 04

  It's more than that.

• 1:55:40Speaker 01

  Can you take?

• 1:55:40Speaker 04

  It's like five hours wide. There's no train up there.

• 1:55:42Speaker 01

  There's no train, bro. The trains are amazing. The magnet trains, they zip.

• 1:55:46Speaker 03

  You don't feel it? You're just like walking around, but it's like that Japanese video when they tested the new one.

• 1:55:51Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:55:52Speaker 03

  It's, boom, womp. The Japanese people are like, what the fuck? And just start laughing.

• 1:55:56Speaker 04

  All right. I have an idea. Pepperbox exclusive. You film it, come with us. We pay for it all. We go up there.

• 1:56:05Speaker 01

  Easy.

• 1:56:05Speaker 04

  We fucking chill out.

• 1:56:07Speaker 01

  Oh man.

• 1:56:07Speaker 03

  You had me at pay for it all.

• 1:56:09Speaker 04

  Easy day. So we leaving next month?

• 1:56:11Speaker 03

  I'm down whenever. You let me know. I go ASAP to Japan. I, the food is something, Brandon.

• 1:56:18Speaker 04

  Well, so dude, so I'm, I'm not one of these like, so Eli's like a Japophile. Like he just loves everything Japanese culture. He's like, oh my God, 7-Eleven, but in Japan. I, I don't know. I like, I. Well, did you say fucking Japophile?

• 1:56:30Speaker 01

  To be fair, the 7-Elevens in Japan are so good. They're different, I swear.

• 1:56:35Speaker 03

  What, what'd you say? Just say, listen.

• 1:56:36Speaker 01

  The 7-Elevens in Japan are so good.

• 1:56:38Speaker 04

  Oh dude. I'm sure, right? It's, it's kind of like the.

• 1:56:41Speaker 01

  You don't agree?

• 1:56:43Speaker 04

  I'm sure in the US it's the difference between like your typical like Exxon mobile or like Exxon versus like a Buc-E's.

• 1:56:48Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:56:49Speaker 04

  Right? Oh, this is really cool.

• 1:56:50Speaker 03

  Dude, 7-Eleven to a, like you're actually in a nice restaurant for food level. That's what's crazy. You're going, an American 7-Eleven to, I'm going to a four star restaurant in America.

• 1:57:02Speaker 04

  Cody? No, no, it, it is insane how, how good their food is in the 7-Eleven. I'll put this on the record, like when, whenever we do it, because I know we're gonna do it, press X to doubt. Like I don't.

• 1:57:13Speaker 03

  We're gonna go and then we'll record it all. It, it, until you have it, you can't, like the, the chicken, did you have the chicken?

• 1:57:20Speaker 04

  Chicken katsu?

• 1:57:20Speaker 03

  Yeah, uh, from the 7-Eleven.

• 1:57:22Speaker 04

  They had katsu and then they had like all sorts of shit in there. It was, it was fucking badass. It is good having you back on though. We, we appreciate you.

• 1:57:29Speaker 01

  Yeah, thank you guys for having me. It's, it's fun. I only live two hours away. I'm close by.

• 1:57:33Speaker 03

  Yeah, now you live up in.

• 1:57:34Speaker 01

  Austin now.

• 1:57:35Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:57:35Speaker 01

  Yeah, last time I was here, yeah, last time I was here, I was living in Maryland. So I was like 27 hours away. Now I'm two hours away.

• 1:57:40Speaker 04

  Oh shit, we're homies now.

• 1:57:42Speaker 01

  Yeah, close by, neighbors.

• 1:57:43Speaker 04

  Come down by like literally whenever, like we're, we're free for, well, whenever we're in town, but.

• 1:57:48Speaker 01

  Yeah, I'd like to more. I've only been back like, uh, doing YouTube stuff for like two months because of the sickness. So, yeah, it definitely, it's good to see you guys. It's good to be back filming.

• 1:57:56Speaker 04

  Did that really hurt you with the algorithm is like not being able to, to post very often?

• 1:58:00Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's what it's like so ridiculous of anyone thinking that I, this was like a, a money-making ploy. It's like, uh, yeah, I would have been fine if I just continued posting frequently. Besides like, you know, getting sick and posting four times over the course of seven months is not, that's not good for money-making or the algorithm or whatever. But yeah, it's kind of hard to post when your heart isn't working.

• 1:58:22Speaker 04

  Yeah, little things.

• 1:58:23Speaker 01

  Little bit. Yeah. And I'm so particular about it. Like I can't just have an editor like take the reins and do everything. You know, I'm like, uh, autism about it.

• 1:58:31Speaker 04

  How often, like before, before you got sick, how often would you post? Like you do it like a documentary that's about how long and how often?

• 1:58:38Speaker 01

  Usually like 30 minutes to an hour and at least, uh, twice a month.

• 1:58:42Speaker 04

  Twice a month? Holy shit.

• 1:58:43Speaker 01

  If not three times, yeah. And now we're like once a month or once every five weeks, but we're picking it up.

• 1:58:47Speaker 03

  When you watch your content, that's why it's like that. Holy shit, you're doing that twice a month. So wild. Cause you do put in a lot of effort, time in each one of your videos.

• 1:58:57Speaker 01

  Yeah, people think we have like a big team. It's like, I do the, a lot of the bulk of the editing, but also it's just me and like one other guy or.

• 1:59:02Speaker 03

  Other Eli. Other Eli, you want to say hi on camera?

• 1:59:06Speaker 04

  Maybe next time.

• 1:59:07Speaker 03

  Okay, he said maybe next.

• 1:59:08Speaker 04

  So that was no, is what that was. That was a very polite no.

• 1:59:11Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:59:11Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:59:12Speaker 04

  But I mean, that's kind of like me and, me and Delance. It's like he's, he was just a friend of mine that I grew up with. And, uh, one day I was just like, hey, I wanted to like kind of record some stuff. Um,

• 1:59:23Speaker 04

  I'll pay you in lunch if you want to follow me with a camera all day. And then 10 years later, me and him are still working together every day.

• 1:59:29Speaker 01

  Yeah, I think, I think the content can be so good, especially when, you know, the people who are touching it, uh, like care a lot. And it's not just becoming like commoditized and random people who are just trying to get a paycheck or messing with it.

• 1:59:39Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:59:40Speaker 01

  So, yeah, that's why I keep my team small, but maybe I'll, maybe I'll Mr. Beastify my shit sometimes.

• 1:59:46Speaker 04

  I was just gonna say like, like with Mr. Beast's, uh, Mr. Beast's team, like it just seems like there's a lot of people that came in like vultures, just like, oh, hey, you're doing good. Well, I worked in Hollywood or I worked in TV and they try to take over and it just makes the content worse.

• 1:59:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, it takes away the soul of it.

• 2:00:02Speaker 04

  Cause they, they don't understand our generation.

• 2:00:04Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 2:00:04Speaker 04

  It's like a bunch of 40, 50 year old guys that are like, well, I did fucking, you know, third rock from the sun.

• 2:00:10Speaker 03

  Highly specific show.

• 2:00:12Speaker 04

  I clearly understand like what your generation likes. Like you clearly don't.

• 2:00:16Speaker 01

  Speaking of Mr. Beast, do you guys know who Topper Guild is? Me and Donut, we're talking about this.

• 2:00:20Speaker 04

  I don't. Yeah.

• 2:00:21Speaker 01

  Cause you feel like you know a lot of the biggest YouTubers, right? Generally speaking.

• 2:00:24Speaker 04

  Topper.

• 2:00:25Speaker 02

  Generally speaking.

• 2:00:26Speaker 03

  I can, I have no, I've never even heard of this name.

• 2:00:29Speaker 04

  B-Li, I've never heard of this ever. No.

• 2:00:30Speaker 01

  Yeah, would you believe if there's a YouTuber out there that has 93 million subscribers? He's an American YouTuber and you've never heard of him?

• 2:00:37Speaker 04

  I never would believe it.

• 2:00:39Speaker 01

  And he gets like 300 million views a day?

• 2:00:41Speaker 04

  Fuck off.

• 2:00:42Speaker 01

  Topper Guild.

• 2:00:44Speaker 03

  He, I've never seen this guy's face. He has like Mr. Beast style thumbnails.

• 2:00:49Speaker 04

  I was just gonna say, it has to be Mr. Beast style shit.

• 2:00:52Speaker 02

  They're saying the same shit that I did.

• 2:00:53Speaker 03

  Ninety-three million subscribers.

• 2:00:55Speaker 01

  I think you're right about that. Uh, like, I think in twenty twenty-four, he started to get like twenty X the views.

• 2:00:59Speaker 03

  With Mr. Beast on his fucking thumbnail.

• 2:01:01Speaker 01

  He said, he said he was getting like twenty times the views because he dubbed his videos in different languages, but.

• 2:01:07Speaker 04

  They're all AI.

• 2:01:08Speaker 01

  Donut had a different theory. I think you're right about it.

• 2:01:10Speaker 02

  What was yours?

• 2:01:11Speaker 01

  The title's like.

• 2:01:13Speaker 02

  My theory was, um, Jimmy is coaching them through this. And they're an earlier generation, like they're going for like the, the ten, thirteen, thirteen, four year old, like fourteen year old, like demographic. And they're just doing the same thing that Jimmy's doing, but Jimmy's coaching them through it, but also Jimmy probably has a line to YouTube. And that's why they're doing so well. Cause I'd never heard him before.

• 2:01:41Speaker 04

  Like ninety-seven million fucking in subscribers. That's insane. I feel like I agree with you. You think he's doing like the Dr. Dre Eminem thing.

• 2:01:51Speaker 02

  Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Thank you. That's the best way to describe it. Yeah.

• 2:01:55Speaker 03

  I mean, you have K-pop demon hunters go on a hundred dates.

• 2:01:59Speaker 01

  What the hell is this K-pop demon hunter shit? Cause it's not just him. There's another.

• 2:02:03Speaker 02

  Well, yeah, they're, they're hitting, they're hitting that, that demographic. I was just saying like that, that eleven, twelve, thirteen year old, like young men, like demographic right now. And that's what's happening.

• 2:02:12Speaker 01

  So bizarre.

• 2:02:13Speaker 02

  And Jimmy's coaching, probably coaching that guy through it.

• 2:02:16Speaker 01

  Well, and there's another guy that we were talking about and his name is Zhong. He's got seventy-five million subscribers and he's posting the same type of shit like K-pop demon hunters got pregnant. I'm like, what is this crap?

• 2:02:26Speaker 04

  And what is the video content?

• 2:02:27Speaker 01

  That's what I'm saying. I haven't watched it yet.

• 2:02:29Speaker 03

  Oh, I mean, this is so weird. Cause you're like, oh, it's gonna be like, but it's all like high VFX and weird. Like. This? Uh.

• 2:02:40Speaker 01

  Yeah, I'm gonna have my daughter watch Little Bear instead of this.

• 2:02:44Speaker 04

  Yeah, Little Bear was the shit, man.

• 2:02:45Speaker 03

  Dude, that's okay. The comments, holy shit.

• 2:02:48Speaker 04

  Cause we're, we're about the same age, yeah?

• 2:02:50Speaker 01

  Yeah, thirty.

• 2:02:50Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 2:02:51Speaker 03

  Here's the stuff I don't get. Seventeen million views. How many comments?

• 2:02:56Speaker 04

  What?

• 2:02:57Speaker 03

  Seventeen million views.

• 2:02:59Speaker 01

  Oh, a hundred thousand at least.

• 2:03:00Speaker 04

  Uh, I'm gonna say ten thousand.

• 2:03:02Speaker 03

  Three thousand.

• 2:03:03Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah. No, he's, it's fake. That's fake.

• 2:03:06Speaker 01

  How?

• 2:03:06Speaker 03

  That does not add up.

• 2:03:08Speaker 04

  It's either fake or it's repeat or like fucking hotel TV.

• 2:03:11Speaker 01

  I think my last video has eight hundred thousand views and like five thousand comments.

• 2:03:15Speaker 03

  That's why, like, that's my biggest indicator when I see like these giant numbers. And then you look and you're like, whoa. So when I see ninety million and you're averaging one to three million views.

• 2:03:28Speaker 01

  It's rigged.

• 2:03:30Speaker 03

  There has to be set like.

• 2:03:31Speaker 01

  I think it. Jimmy Beast, reach out, dude. I want the, I want the beast push.

• 2:03:36Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 2:03:37Speaker 01

  I'm sick, Jimmy.

• 2:03:40Speaker 04

  I think. He said three thousand?

• 2:03:43Speaker 03

  Three thousand comments.

• 2:03:44Speaker 04

  On how many views?

• 2:03:45Speaker 03

  Uh, seventeen million.

• 2:03:47Speaker 04

  Seventeen million? Fuck off. So my last video had one point two million views. A guy used a machine gun in self-defense shooting. One point two million views, eight point three thousand comments.

• 2:03:58Speaker 01

  There it is.

• 2:03:59Speaker 04

  Fuck off. Fuck off. This guy's paying for shit.

• 2:04:01Speaker 03

  Look, fourteen million views. How many comments? Five thousand comments, fourteen million views.

• 2:04:07Speaker 01

  I don't get it. Is it cause it's kids watching it that are too young to know how to use a keyboard or what the hell is it?

• 2:04:12Speaker 02

  Also, you guys, we're getting into the, the YouTube content creation thing of this. But yeah, I, I think that he.

• 2:04:22Speaker 02

  I think that he coached these channels. And I think that he had a line to YouTube to say to them like.

• 2:04:30Speaker 04

  Hey, push the shit in the algorithm.

• 2:04:31Speaker 02

  Yeah, push it, push it a little bit.

• 2:04:33Speaker 04

  But I, I don't even think that's true. Cause like, if you push it in the algorithm, you at least get like an appropriate amount of comments. Cause like, this is. I, like, that's absurd.

• 2:04:42Speaker 01

  Bro, twenty million views, one point eight thousand comments.

• 2:04:46Speaker 04

  No, see bullshit.

• 2:04:49Speaker 04

  The gang accidentally starts a beef with like a much bigger YouTuber, but like.

• 2:04:54Speaker 01

  But is he bigger though? Like think about the fans y'all have compared to him. Like, could he sell out a show? Could he do a thousand people in an audience? I highly doubt it.

• 2:05:00Speaker 04

  Well, no, he, he definitely couldn't sell out an eighteen plus show.

• 2:05:03Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 2:05:04Speaker 03

  I, dude, that's wild when you say that shit.

• 2:05:05Speaker 01

  You'd like seven people there and they're all on the registry?

• 2:05:07Speaker 04

  Yeah, no shit. Like anybody who shows up to that show, like is, they're hunting.

• 2:05:11Speaker 01

  Yeah. What the fuck? Real K-pop demon hunters. Um, yeah, that stuff's weird though. I was looking into that, but he's making some serious dough if it's real.

• 2:05:19Speaker 03

  I mean, and alpha those view, I wanna know his reta- those are the analytics I wanna like dig into. And just go through and be like, hey, what's view retention? It's all autistic level shit, but it's like, where's the drop off? Cause if you're getting that many comment, eighteen hundred comments on twenty million views.

• 2:05:34Speaker 04

  That guy's a demon pop K through twelve hunter.

• 2:05:38Speaker 01

  Dude, K through twelve hunter is crazy.

• 2:05:41Speaker 04

  No, the guy who shows up to the show. Not that guy. No, I'm not calling him.

• 2:05:46Speaker 03

  I'm like, what the fuck? Oh, I did have, uh, I wanted, man, I forgot to bring the. The dragon. I wanted you to see the low bore axis on that new.

• 2:05:55Speaker 04

  Oh, I really did wanna see that. That was kinda wild.

• 2:05:59Speaker 03

  Yeah, I was like, did I bring it today? It was like, fuck, cause we got a flomp, Famas and that. And we haven't got to talk about it.

• 2:06:04Speaker 02

  You got all the guys.

• 2:06:05Speaker 03

  I finished, I finished the collection. I finished my collection.

• 2:06:08Speaker 02

  Have you told Brandon about the collection?

• 2:06:11Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 2:06:11Speaker 02

  Does he know what you're talking about at all?

• 2:06:13Speaker 01

  Yeah, we were talking about the Famas yesterday.

• 2:06:14Speaker 03

  That Metal Gear Solid, the Tri-.

• 2:06:16Speaker 02

  Metal Gear Solid. You got everything now. So what do you, what do you have right now? What do you got?

• 2:06:21Speaker 03

  I have an unfired nineteen ninety-six Mark twenty-three, three, three with a, uh, matching cat can and serial number. And I have both the government issued lamb and the civilian lamb, uh, still box, never been fired. PSG one and, oh, go on.

• 2:06:38Speaker 04

  Oh, no, no, go on. Sorry.

• 2:06:40Speaker 03

  And then PSG one in nice case with thankfully Brandon is the one that helped hook that up with a one minute conversation that cost me money.

• 2:06:48Speaker 04

  Yeah, I just called him up, like auctions going on right now, like that I was already watching. I'm like, Eli, you, you still want that PSG one? Uh, uh, yeah, yeah. Thirty, thirty, thirty grand. Yes or no? Right now?

• 2:07:00Speaker 03

  Yeah, I didn't know he was actively bidding.

• 2:07:03Speaker 04

  I had the page pulled up as we were having this conversation.

• 2:07:05Speaker 02

  That's the cool sniper rifle from it, right? The boxy type sniper rifle.

• 2:07:09Speaker 04

  If you know the G three, like the, the A, uh, the HKG three, it's like a, uh, like the PSG one is like the total sniperized version from the eighties.

• 2:07:17Speaker 03

  Yep. With a giant, my favorite is when we picked it up and I was like, that is a huge forward assist. And Brandon is using the G three that doesn't have that forward assist. And you're like, I don't think they do. I'm like, I think that's a forward assist. And you're like, holy shit. Cause it is.

• 2:07:31Speaker 04

  It's beefy.

• 2:07:32Speaker 03

  Beefcake. You know, on your AR or your M4s, you just have that little button. Like this is a fucking.

• 2:07:39Speaker 03

  It's like a Shure mic.

• 2:07:40Speaker 04

  Cause I always thought it was a, it was just like a G three that was, you know, DMR'd out essentially. It is not. It's, it's a, it's a much different platform than I was expecting.

• 2:07:50Speaker 03

  So we got that thankfully because, and we got a really good like, because of that last minute auction. I don't know how we got a good deal on that.

• 2:07:56Speaker 04

  It was a great deal.

• 2:07:57Speaker 03

  And then the Famas, uh, again, just lucky on that one and did not expect him to take said offer.

• 2:08:03Speaker 04

  So when are we going to do a Guns of Metal Gear?

• 2:08:06Speaker 03

  Whenever you want, dog.

• 2:08:07Speaker 04

  Okay. Cause I, I, I really wanna do that video. Cause there's so many.

• 2:08:10Speaker 03

  Can I dress up as Metal Gear Solid one snake and you dress up as Snake Eater or MGS five snake? I will buy our outfits.

• 2:08:18Speaker 04

  That's probably the gayest question you've ever asked. And that's, that actually. That's quite the title, frankly. Yeah, sure. I'll do it.

• 2:08:26Speaker 03

  I'm buying those outfits now. We're gonna cosplay.

• 2:08:28Speaker 04

  God damn it.

• 2:08:30Speaker 03

  Cody, you can just come watch. We make Cody's Eve.

• 2:08:33Speaker 02

  I'll be there.

• 2:08:34Speaker 03

  Cody's Eve from MGS three, the hot blonde.

• 2:08:39Speaker 02

  Can I be psychic? Uh, what's his dick? I'll just float in the corner.

• 2:08:44Speaker 01

  Is that a saying? What's his dick?

• 2:08:47Speaker 03

  I like it.

• 2:08:48Speaker 01

  It's good.

• 2:08:49Speaker 03

  One hundred percent.

• 2:08:49Speaker 01

  Is that a what's his name?

• 2:08:50Speaker 04

  No, we'll, we'll actually both be, uh, MGS five snake.

• 2:08:54Speaker 03

  Oh, that's perfect. No one will know the difference.

• 2:08:57Speaker 04

  Actually, both technically the same guy.

• 2:08:59Speaker 03

  Like Brandon, Brandon, Brandon, Cody, Cody.

• 2:09:03Speaker 03

  And it follows the story too. Good job. Yep. So we got that. That was my most proud moment. And I mean, period. As you, I think you said, you're like, you have some of the, you have a web, like massive arsenal. Mine's like smaller. It's just very specific autismo guns.

• 2:09:21Speaker 04

  I've, I've got a like just. I've got a bit of an arsenal of weaponry, uh, but Eli's just very like strategic. Like I want this gun, this gun, this gun, this gun. And they're all like pristine condition. I think the PSG one, I, I don't think it's ever been fired.

• 2:09:35Speaker 03

  There's like two of my MGS guns.

• 2:09:38Speaker 04

  The, the Mark twenty-three.

• 2:09:41Speaker 04

  Not only has it never been fired, this motherfucker has a gun that like, it's never been racked clearly because you could see like where the contact surface is on the barrel. Still has the paint on it. And even the, the magazine, anytime we've cleared the gun, we've never racked it. But you like push in the magazine to like press the magazine release and pull it out because the, the paint is still there on the ledge. Like it's never rubbed from just being cycled.

• 2:10:07Speaker 03

  Very careful with it.

• 2:10:08Speaker 04

  It's. A level of autism that I've never accomplished with any firearm I own.

• 2:10:15Speaker 03

  It's wild seeing. I thought it'd be more normalized because I just treat like video games, cards or whatever I buy. I'm like, oh, I seal and put away. Don't need to play with it. Everyone's like, you're gonna shoot that, right? I'm like, why?

• 2:10:27Speaker 03

  I'm like, oh yeah, I guess. The Moss, we're gonna shoot the shit out of.

• 2:10:29Speaker 04

  I mean, on with like the, the Metal Gear Solid stuff, like the, the M eighty-two A two, I think I, or the, the, the Barrett M eighty-two A two.

• 2:10:37Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 2:10:37Speaker 04

  Uh, is like the shoulder fired Barrett from MGS four, I think. Uh, I think it's the only one that's ever gone for civilian sale, period, ever. There were like twelve ever made to my, to my knowledge.

• 2:10:48Speaker 02

  That was the one where Chris Barrett called you and was like, where the fuck did you get that from?

• 2:10:53Speaker 04

  Yeah, I think I posted it on Instagram and he's like, I don't say the word unicorn very often, but that's a fucking unicorn.

• 2:10:59Speaker 03

  It's a, do you know what gun we're talking about? He has? Like when the owner, the creator of said gun calls you and be like, how the fuck did you get that? Imagine that.

• 2:11:07Speaker 01

  The shoulder fifty kilo?

• 2:11:08Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:11:08Speaker 01

  Did we shoot it last time I was here?

• 2:11:10Speaker 04

  Quite possibly.

• 2:11:11Speaker 02

  Shot it. He shot it. It was that one.

• 2:11:12Speaker 02

  A shoulder fifty.

• 2:11:14Speaker 01

  Yeah, we shot a shoulder fifty in my video. And it felt like I was getting punched in my face when I saw it.

• 2:11:18Speaker 03

  Do that for cut. So that was the one.

• 2:11:21Speaker 04

  My dad's shock. And he's like, why is it so loud?

• 2:11:26Speaker 04

  Yeah, you should have been wearing ear pro. What the fuck, dad?

• 2:11:30Speaker 03

  He turns to you bleeding ears. Oh, that's fun.

• 2:11:33Speaker 04

  Damn, that's loud, man. And dad, why were you wearing ear pros? Put like that, that thing with like your mark twenty three, you're like, oh, I'll never rack it again. And I'm like, I've got one of like twelve ever made. And I just huck it in the back of my truck.

• 2:11:46Speaker 01

  Yeah, that thing is sick, dude. They need to get that inside the hoods, bro.

• 2:11:51Speaker 04

  I, yes, those hood rats would do very well with the mark twenty. Yeah, they would do great. I feel like you, you're just like, you're the Nick Cage Lord of War type.

• 2:12:00Speaker 01

  Dude, I should start selling ammunition to gang bangers.

• 2:12:03Speaker 04

  This would be great in inner city communities.

• 2:12:06Speaker 01

  Drone warfare.

• 2:12:07Speaker 03

  AT fours and drive bys, cause they had to have black bat, black blast area clear and it can't because it's in a car. They're like, fire. You just see.

• 2:12:18Speaker 04

  You're just going through Chicago with like an ice cream truck full of FPV drones. You're like.

• 2:12:22Speaker 01

  Seriously.

• 2:12:23Speaker 04

  You ever wanted to fuck with the ops?

• 2:12:25Speaker 01

  They only live like a street or two down from each other. It could do some serious damage.

• 2:12:28Speaker 04

  You know, if they were smart, they would use drones, but you know what? They're not.

• 2:12:34Speaker 01

  Switches, dude.

• 2:12:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, good things. They grew up on section eight housing.

• 2:12:39Speaker 01

  Hey, there's no section eight housing in, uh, India. If you live in section eight housing, you should definitely appreciate that shit, dude. Cause in India, they have no windows or roofs and they're sleeping on the fucking ground.

• 2:12:48Speaker 03

  The trash places, wow, twenty dollars a month to live in garbage and you have nothing and they appreciate it, right?

• 2:12:54Speaker 01

  They really do appreciate it. They're very nice people. And you see like in America, you don't really see someone that has like a broken leg or broken arm. That's like healed wrong. You know what I mean? You don't see that that often. There was a lot of people in India that had like bones that were broken and fused wrong because they don't have access to health. You know, any, there's no.

• 2:13:09Speaker 04

  Their good doctors came here.

• 2:13:10Speaker 01

  Yeah, seriously.

• 2:13:11Speaker 03

  They rub turds on their broken bones. It doesn't heal anything.

• 2:13:15Speaker 01

  Surprisingly, doesn't work as well as you'd think.

• 2:13:18Speaker 03

  Brandon, it's like, hmm.

• 2:13:19Speaker 01

  Shit cast.

• 2:13:23Speaker 03

  Oh, I hate that idea.

• 2:13:24Speaker 01

  Don't knock it till you try it, dude.

• 2:13:26Speaker 03

  I'm not gonna try.

• 2:13:27Speaker 01

  You never know.

• 2:13:28Speaker 03

  Like, hmm, hmm. Oh, uh, what video did you want to do? You're planning on doing something with us. Did you have any idea of what?

• 2:13:35Speaker 01

  Uh, I think we would just like shoot this shit a little bit and then actually shoot some guns if you were, if you guys were down for it. And if it doesn't work in the schedule, you know, it is what it is. I could always come back another time.

• 2:13:44Speaker 04

  I do have to film, uh, this week anyway. So like if we, if we want to knock that out, we can probably do that.

• 2:13:49Speaker 03

  Whatever you like. It's like in your call, brother. We can do whatever you want.

• 2:13:52Speaker 01

  Yeah, I have a, I mean, I have a pretty casual approach to making content, so.

• 2:13:56Speaker 04

  How long you here?

• 2:13:56Speaker 01

  Uh, I was gonna leave tomorrow or what? Yeah.

• 2:14:02Speaker 04

  We'll figure it out.

• 2:14:03Speaker 01

  Yeah, no worries either way. I'm happy to have the podcast. Get the podcast.

• 2:14:06Speaker 03

  What do you want? What would be your ideal video with everyone? We can, we'll treat this as a writing room right now.

• 2:14:12Speaker 01

  I think just, you know, us hanging out, talking for like thirty minutes and about whatever like this casually and then going to the gun range and shooting some cool guns like the Famas.

• 2:14:22Speaker 03

  Would be fun with also what we could do.

• 2:14:25Speaker 01

  We could do anything else. Anything else y'all wanted to do, that would be good.

• 2:14:27Speaker 04

  You, you've seen my, my gun room, like my, my shop, right? Like the last time we were there with, uh, with Isaiah and all that.

• 2:14:32Speaker 01

  That was kind of like the, uh, the, you know, basis of the video mainly, I feel.

• 2:14:37Speaker 04

  It's, it's gotten better.

• 2:14:39Speaker 01

  So we could see that again. I mean, it's been two and a half years.

• 2:14:42Speaker 04

  Anything, anything you want to do, like, like our doors open to you. You've been nothing but good to us. So like, we're, we're more than happy to, to open it up for you.

• 2:14:48Speaker 01

  Yeah, I just, I think just like casual hanging out, showing the guns and, and shooting the shit would be fun. People liked it last time. I figured they'd like it this time. The last one's age restricted. So try to not get this one age restricted.

• 2:14:58Speaker 04

  There's ways we can get around that.

• 2:15:00Speaker 01

  Yeah, what? No more auto on YouTube?

• 2:15:03Speaker 04

  Yeah, it was a very stupid decision. I'm trying to get fucking pulled back. I, I understand why they're, they're trying to restrict it, you know, with like the, uh, all the Chicago switches, like stuff like that.

• 2:15:11Speaker 01

  But bro, like.

• 2:15:12Speaker 04

  If I have licensing, like the way I looked at it, I'm like, hey, if I provide YouTube with proof that I have licensing to do this legally, what's the issue?

• 2:15:19Speaker 01

  I really genuinely think the only reason I'm alive right now is because of automatic weaponry. Like if, if they had a semi-automatic and they were sitting there.

• 2:15:25Speaker 04

  Explain.

• 2:15:26Speaker 01

  Cause the five gunmen that stalked me and shot sixty rounds at me at close range, if they all had semi-autos and they were like, koo, koo, koo, koo, they would have killed all of us.

• 2:15:35Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 2:15:35Speaker 01

  They were like ten, fifteen yards away.

• 2:15:36Speaker 04

  If they were like us.

• 2:15:38Speaker 01

  Yeah, but they'd had switches and instead they were like.

• 2:15:41Speaker 04

  I completely agree. Most people think like, oh my God, if you add in like a, a, a fucking switch or a, uh, an auto sear to these guns, they're so much more deadly. It's like, no. You just expend ammo faster and then you're out of fucking ammo.

• 2:15:54Speaker 01

  Yeah. So, I mean, I'm, I'm really thankful for switches, legalized switches, all the gang bangers that need switches. This is all sponsored by US Congressman Brandon Herrera.

• 2:16:03Speaker 04

  Now let's, let's, let's maybe reel this back a little bit, but, uh.

• 2:16:07Speaker 01

  Wait, why?

• 2:16:08Speaker 04

  But legitimately, like if anybody's ever done a demonstration about like, okay, if you have thirty round magazine and you do a controlled burst, brap, brap, brap, brap. Versus just the, the full auto fire, just like fanning an entire group, like you, you don't hit shit.

• 2:16:23Speaker 03

  Why do you think the milit- US military switched from full auto to three round burst for a reason? And now they don't even train. I can tell you, they've talked about three round burst zero times in all the training. Did you ever put on three round burst when you were in?

• 2:16:37Speaker 01

  Never.

• 2:16:37Speaker 04

  I think three round burst was like a Vietnam thing.

• 2:16:39Speaker 03

  It was full auto and then they switched it because like, yo, the troops are just fucking blasting ammo. They're not hitting shit. And then, uh, because the weapons, they didn't have really good cleaning kits at that time. So like, if I can get rid of all this.

• 2:16:51Speaker 04

  Well, now look at Russia now with the, the AK twelve. They have the, the two round burst. They don't have three round burst. They have two round burst. No, it's not hyper burst. Hyper burst is like the AN ninety four. But like the AK twelve is the two round burst where it's just, it's very flat. It's just two rounds on target, which is pretty much all you'd ever need.

• 2:17:07Speaker 01

  Perfect.

• 2:17:07Speaker 04

  And it's divisible by thirty, which is where they learned from the Famas where, you know. The top tier guys, they released that video last year. Have you seen them running through that house? Where he's sprinting up to the house and he's, he, that's like a fucking good hundred yard sprint. And he goes in with his boys behind him. I think it's one of the first videos they ever released of top, like top tier. It's like a Delta boy doing it. And they're not using, you know, they're not using fucking fully auto or anything.

• 2:17:35Speaker 03

  Dude, it's controlled pairs. We always engage.

• 2:17:37Speaker 04

  It's speed, surprise, violence of action. Dude goes in just like, da, da, da, da, da, da. Everyone in the house is dead, like within fucking like a minute.

• 2:17:46Speaker 01

  So you guys think it's a safe thing to say, right? That switches saved my life?

• 2:17:49Speaker 04

  Probably, I would say so.

• 2:17:50Speaker 01

  Jokes aside, like.

• 2:17:51Speaker 04

  Cause like, uh, unless you have like a belt fed or something like that, I wouldn't see how anything outside of controlled pairs is actually useful.

• 2:17:58Speaker 03

  Cause like if I go to even dry files, I like da, da, da, da, da, da, my finger, I like, no, I'm pulling.

• 2:18:03Speaker 04

  That's what these guys are doing that, that tier, that like the tier one video I'm telling you about. They're just like.

• 2:18:10Speaker 04

  They go through the house and they're just like, everyone's done.

• 2:18:12Speaker 03

  And the second you break ninety, it's back to safe and then you're back up, fire. I didn't realize.

• 2:18:16Speaker 04

  This conversation got so autistic.

• 2:18:18Speaker 03

  I know. Dude, uh, well, I didn't realize that was a thing in, uh, my first shooting competition. I got like second on speed. And I was like, oh, that was great. Like blah, blah, blah, almost, uh, almost fucked up on one of my safety selectors and like, wait, what? You're. You were recycling your safety when you were moving? It's like, yeah. And like, why? Well, because the second you break ninety, you have to go to safe because you're not aimed at a target. And they're like, that's very military.

• 2:18:45Speaker 04

  Did you, in, in the military, did you ever actually have to do any like actual CQB?

• 2:18:49Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:18:50Speaker 04

  Like.

• 2:18:51Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:18:51Speaker 04

  Like clearing houses and shit?

• 2:18:52Speaker 03

  Oh, I did. Like for the first three months, four months was a lot of that. And then when we got to, uh.

• 2:18:58Speaker 04

  It's only.

• 2:18:59Speaker 03

  River province.

• 2:19:00Speaker 04

  One minute long.

• 2:19:01Speaker 03

  It was a giant push through CQB. So you're kicking down doors. I had Beeson will know this one if he's watching. Fucking Beeson, kick, kick door. I watch family as a wife and a husband step around with AKs middle of the night and I push Beeson out of the way. And then it's like, I just yell soldiers, army, army soldiers. And then they like, oh, the husband hands the gun to the wife. Yeah, I was like, oh, cause we, I understood their perspective in the middle. It's like midnight and somebody's kicking on your door really fucking hard. Like you're gonna grab your gun. So I was like, hey, fucking push Beeson, like clear it. Cause I don't want him spraying through the door.

• 2:19:38Speaker 04

  I just meant like CQB engagements. Cause like, I know like a lot of the stories you told were like, it was clearly like firefights and things like.

• 2:19:44Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah. And yeah, we'd have, it just happened way less. There's only probably like three to five actually in-house firefights. Nothing crazy. Most of it was outside on like engage from a second, third, fourth floor or back and forth. Very rarely did it happen in-house.

• 2:20:02Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's what I was talking about.

• 2:20:08Speaker 04

  Oh, so it's just a shoot house? Yeah.

• 2:20:10Speaker 03

  God, he is fucking.

• 2:20:11Speaker 04

  Yeah. He's booking. Yeah, but like tier one dude.

• 2:20:16Speaker 03

  Aim, oh, oh, he's already engaging, fucking ta ta ta ta. One, two, three. Dead.

• 2:20:24Speaker 03

  Is this a real video or training?

• 2:20:26Speaker 04

  No, it's real or it's training. It's training.

• 2:20:28Speaker 03

  Oh, okay.

• 2:20:30Speaker 04

  Down.

• 2:20:32Speaker 03

  Silence of action, dude. You like, that's why you.

• 2:20:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, no shit.

• 2:20:36Speaker 03

  Because it catches.

• 2:20:38Speaker 04

  He's actuating that flashlight too.

• 2:20:39Speaker 03

  Whole team. Did you see there was fucking six guys on him?

• 2:20:42Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 2:20:43Speaker 03

  That, and that's what you want, because a lot of times the average human or individual in that situation is like, okay, pause. Okay, if they enter this door, however they enter it.

• 2:20:55Speaker 04

  It's what your homies should be doing right here. They're not, they're not, they're not doing, they're not doing fucking.

• 2:21:02Speaker 03

  Watch how fast he pushes it.

• 2:21:03Speaker 04

  Let's not give advice to gang bangers on the podcast.

• 2:21:06Speaker 01

  No, but if there was one of them that operated this way, it would get crazy. It would get really crazy. I feel like they should not have guns. They should all have samurai swords.

• 2:21:14Speaker 04

  Yeah, so he's got his team on the back of him right now.

• 2:21:19Speaker 01

  Yeah, he's operating quick.

• 2:21:23Speaker 01

  Bing, bing.

• 2:21:23Speaker 04

  Boo hoo, down.

• 2:21:27Speaker 01

  Sorry.

• 2:21:28Speaker 04

  Boo. His team comes in behind him.

• 2:21:30Speaker 03

  All right, one, two, three, four, five.

• 2:21:32Speaker 04

  They're on his ass the entire time.

• 2:21:34Speaker 01

  Yeah, no switch, no switch needed.

• 2:21:36Speaker 03

  Nope, just literally control pairs all the way through.

• 2:21:40Speaker 01

  Yeah, if I had to be in a fight, I would not want to use a.

• 2:21:44Speaker 03

  I hated houses were the worst, most sketch thing. Firefight outside, way better than

• 2:21:51Speaker 03

  closed buildings, a way different situation, because you're like, fuck me, like, it's everyone in your left and right, and you're like, am I first on second, second, third, whatever? And then how are you flowing in here? And it's just quick engagement like da da da da da.

• 2:22:02Speaker 04

  Houses are where you understand like all the different tools in the tool belt, like as a civilian, you're like, okay, like a good, like combat rifle, you could do like 90% of shit, but like, then you start realizing like, okay, clearing houses. HEDP suddenly depend, like that, that becomes a very useful tool.

• 2:22:18Speaker 03

  And then, yeah, but then with clear distance, does it arm? I've told the story. It's like green. We tried to enter one house. It was super locked, like fucking padlock. We're like, how the fuck do we get in this house? We backed up. It's like, okay, we'll use a two oh three HEDP. We'll blow the door open. Too easy. Boom. It hits the door and falls like, oh, it didn't arm. Huh. Let's go back further. It needs to rotate more. Boom. And it falls. So we had two HEDP rounds and now sitting there, we're like, mark it on the map and say there's live orders. And then we went to the next house. We're like, eh.

• 2:22:52Speaker 04

  Yeah, there was a story that I heard at some point, not saying where I was, that I heard about. Um, where they were testing like drone munitions. So like, kind of like a Ukraine style, right? Where they had like a hand grenade and they were like testing all sorts of stuff and just like dropping it. And they had like one where they dropped from altitude, dropped grenade exploded. Okay, cool. Like, okay, we, we tested that out. Second one, they did the same thing. Third one grenade dropped, you know, pulled the pin, spoon dropped out.

• 2:23:25Speaker 04

  Landed.

• 2:23:28Speaker 03

  And then nothing?

• 2:23:29Speaker 04

  Nothing. Oh, those little sketchy ones. So that, oh, well, no, actually, no, I, I, I don't think the spoon dropped. I think it was just like it, the grenade itself had dropped in the field. And so it's still like, it's ready to be armed, but it's just kind of there.

• 2:23:44Speaker 03

  Yeah, you do.

• 2:23:44Speaker 04

  They had to call EOD. And then from what I was told, allegedly, uh, like a day later, they called EOD back and they said, never mind, we handled it.

• 2:23:58Speaker 03

  Yeah. Dude, we just would mark it on that on certain situations like that. It's like, ah, mm, oh.

• 2:24:04Speaker 04

  It's like, what, what the fuck do you mean you handled it?

• 2:24:08Speaker 04

  I heard a grappling hook was involved.

• 2:24:11Speaker 04

  It's like, well, you know what? You got it done.

• 2:24:13Speaker 03

  Okay, don't miss it at all.

• 2:24:16Speaker 04

  Fuck. You know what I think they're doing, Brandon? These kids with the switches and stuff. I think a lot of these guys came back from the war on terrorism and they learned from the special forces, maybe a couple of them were special forces. And they know how to do all this, this crazy shit. I disagree with. And they're, and they're letting these fucking kids be cannon fodder. Like the ones that you hang out with.

• 2:24:40Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 2:24:41Speaker 04

  While they're in the upper echelons or whatever criminal like organization that they're in. And they know how to do these things. They're just letting these kids get taken out and get shot and do all that. I disagree with all. Or maybe I just wrote a show. Maybe you did.

• 2:24:56Speaker 01

  Are you saying they're sparing their ops? Or what are you saying?

• 2:24:59Speaker 04

  They're letting these kids get killed.

• 2:25:01Speaker 01

  Who is?

• 2:25:02Speaker 04

  So the people my age who came back from the war on terrorism, they're, they're the ones. Okay. I, I don't think any of those guys came back from GWAT. I think this is all just like hood rats that are finding shit that's easily accessible on wish.com. You're too.

• 2:25:16Speaker 01

  Oh, my, my, my homie baby fifty has been to Afghanistan.

• 2:25:19Speaker 04

  Oh, what's his name?

• 2:25:21Speaker 01

  Baby fifty. I'm just kidding. I, I have this video series called I took a gangster too, and I go to all these different places. Um, and yeah, that's baby fifty. He's hilarious.

• 2:25:29Speaker 04

  I took a gangster too.

• 2:25:30Speaker 01

  Afghanistan. Good, good video idea.

• 2:25:32Speaker 04

  Okay, no, I, I was just thinking like, I took a gangster too, like a Taylor Swift concert.

• 2:25:35Speaker 01

  I took a gangster to a furry convention. I took a gangster to a brony convention.

• 2:25:38Speaker 03

  Did you? Seriously?

• 2:25:39Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 2:25:39Speaker 04

  Yeah, okay.

• 2:25:40Speaker 03

  Oh, my God. I want to know. Yeah, the brony. I just want to know the brony or which one was more crazy?

• 2:25:44Speaker 01

  Uh, more crazy, they were, they're very, very equivalent. I'd say brony's and furries, same vibe. You know, they like to dress up and do illicit sexual acts, but they all say like, it's not like that here, but I'm pretty sure it is. But yeah, shout out to my brony's out there. Gang, gang.

• 2:26:01Speaker 03

  Gang, gang.

• 2:26:02Speaker 01

  Um, and then, yeah, I also took them to, um, an abandoned insane asylum at three in the morning, which was really interesting.

• 2:26:08Speaker 03

  Dude, see that, I, I think that would be a lot more fun, because I think it would be very energetic.

• 2:26:14Speaker 01

  Yeah, it was super fun.

• 2:26:16Speaker 03

  They're like, oh shit.

• 2:26:17Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 2:26:18Speaker 03

  Oh shit.

• 2:26:19Speaker 01

  Yeah, he had his Jays on, dude.

• 2:26:22Speaker 01

  But yeah, it's fun. It's, it's, you know, it's, it's a fun crossover. And we have an unreleased one where I took him to Harrison, Arkansas, which is like, uh, one of the headquarters of the KKK zinc Arkansas. And we had, uh, baby fifty hood, hood guy talking to KKK guy. And they got along great.

• 2:26:38Speaker 03

  No shit?

• 2:26:39Speaker 01

  Yeah, got along great.

• 2:26:40Speaker 04

  What was the conversation like?

• 2:26:41Speaker 01

  Uh, I, I, I don't even, it was like, uh, like 15 months ago. I don't even remember. Um, I think they, I, they, they found common ground over something.

• 2:26:52Speaker 04

  You gotta forgive me. We like, we don't really watch a lot of YouTube. So like I.

• 2:26:55Speaker 01

  Well, the video is not out even.

• 2:26:57Speaker 04

  Oh, really? Oh, no shit. Okay.

• 2:26:59Speaker 01

  It's still in the vault. But, um, yeah, I don't know. Maybe it was like baby fifty was like, fuck the ops and the KKK was guy, guy was like, I don't like him either. I don't remember what they were talking about.

• 2:27:10Speaker 01

  They, yeah, they had fun.

• 2:27:11Speaker 04

  The enemy of my enemy.

• 2:27:13Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 2:27:14Speaker 03

  Well, on that note, if you guys want to do an after show for like 10 minutes.

  Yeah, in Harlem.

  No, no, no, it's one offs. Very one offs.

• 2:27:46Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 2:27:47Speaker 04

  Oh, shit. And the only reason they got caught was because one of them forgot to like take the front license plate off or some shit like that.

• 2:27:52Speaker 01

  Oh, what a slip up.

• 2:27:53Speaker 03

  And they had the, uh, the Ranger bat guys, the second bat guys that, um,

• 2:27:59Speaker 03

  the gang bangers in Tacoma said, we're going to hit your house and they fucking loaded up and were right. You know that story?
