Badlands Media - Y-Chromes Ep. 73: Beards, Brotherhood, and the Battle for the Republic

Episode Date: March 9, 2026

In Episode 73 of Y-Chromes, CannCon, JB White, and Cam Cooksey return for another unapologetically masculine roundtable that blends humor, cultural commentary, and serious geopolitical discussion. The conversation moves from beard grooming, gym culture, and fatherhood to deeper questions about modern masculinity and the role men must play in rebuilding strong communities. The hosts tackle current events, political narratives, and the growing cultural divide in America while reflecting on how men can lead with strength, discipline, and responsibility. Along the way, they debate media narratives, discuss health and lifestyle choices, and keep things light with plenty of laughs and off-the-rails moments that make Y-Chromes what it is. It’s a mix of brotherhood, debate, and blunt truth telling as the guys sort through what it means to be a man in a time when everything seems designed to confuse the issue.

of the badlands explain those badlands that's a hell of a name all right good afternoon ladies and gentlemen welcome to ychromes and especially a welcome to those who may be watching daily harold while this show is going on and have decided to come over to the dark side and that's not just because two out of the watch out watch out how you gentlemen doing today

Yeah, you know, but. Well, he's a white Mexican, you know. Alpha likes to play both sides, you know, like we as black people.

It doesn't matter how we sound, whatever, we always got that skin tone. Alpha can pass every once in a while when he goes places, you know. He keeps his mouth shut.

Yeah, man. I don't know. It's pretty badass, though. I know, I know, but I'm just saying because he drops down to like the microscopic level. Oh, shit, that's a good question, man. Do the survival tip, I'll think about it.

How about, yeah, all right, here we go. Let's go ahead and jump in. And this is coming from Wild Boy, R-I-L, on Facebook. and all other social media platforms. And this is a very important tip on how to make a long lasting torch. So when you're at night, you can see. All right, gang, let's build an all natural torch using only two natural material.

Let's get into it. First, we're going to need a stick about three to four feet, about an inch to two inches in diameter. Next, we're going to need some fat wood. And we're going to get this fat wood from a knot on this. fell pine tree. So I'm going to cut right at the base of it's not. Fat wood is simply dry wood that's full of resin and is really flammable. Yeah, that's what we're looking for right there. You see that amber looking color right there? That's exactly what we're looking for. That's the fat wood. Now we're going to take our fat wood and we're going to process it down. We're

going to just take all the dead rotting stuff off the outside of it. And this is what we want to be left with. So next, what you want to do is you're going to cut you some squiremen. cross slits into your handle. You want to go down maybe a couple inches. You want to slide you a little stick in there, just so it to stay open. You do the same thing in the other direction. You want to do it, you want to take your fat wood,

you want to stick it right off inside that crease. And now you want to beat it down to where it's in a nice and tight. You want to take your saw blade and you want to score this. it's going to act as a fire start. So we're going to take our flashlight. We're going to get it started. Now this torch will probably last you anywhere from an hour to maybe an hour and a half. It's also windproof.

All right, gang. As always, if you learn some, make sure you hit that light button and make sure you share it with the friend. Wild Boy, R-I-L, how to make a torch. It's actually relatively simple, man. Two sticks, one of them a little bit dead. You know, you got to have a saw. You got to have a means of igniting the fire, which, by the way, he also has a cool video where he takes a battery and like a stick of gum. Take the foil off the stick of gum, strip it down.

And then, you know, wearing gloves, put it on the top and bottom of the battery and hold it over your, you know, fodder or kindling. And boom, light that right up. So if you don't have the flashlight like he has right there. How to make a torch. Yeah, D-Dale, what kind of flashlight is that? That's a good question. He doesn't say what kind it is, but there are survival flashlights out there that you can, if you look up a flashlight with an igniter, they have them with both the electric igniter like that,

and also with a flintstone on it where you can, you know, do the old-fashioned way as well. Bama Bich says, I love this guy's videos. Yeah, he's a great follow if you're into that kind of thing. So I would definitely check out his video. So there we go. we've got how to start a fire. We've got how to start a tour, make a torch, how to purify water, turnicates, and and and and and and and and and and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and that will be, uh, and, uh, and, and, and, uh, we got to find foraging for food. I, I, I, you know what? Last week, we didn't do it. And I was actually going to go over snare traps, how to make snare traps. So we'll do that for next week. And that will be, uh, uh, at least the small game portion of the food.

that so there we go matthew trump says why do i feel like finding fat wood it would be harder than i think when it really it'll definitely be harder than you think maybe don't don't get those blue pills use some natural stuff like get that that that all right so he still ain't got no alpha and he hasn't texted and tell us why he is not here So it is what it is, man. All right. So again, for those of you that are new, we do a survival segment and then we do a superhero beat down. Not always in that order, especially since football season's not here.

And we can't kill 50 minutes of a show talking about the week in review. We could talk about the combine, but that is boring to me, to be honest. Like, I'll watch a couple highlights. I'm like, nah, these dudes are fastest fuck. The strongest fuck. That's about it. Let's keep it moving. Bro, I was just in the village.

this weekend visiting my mom for her birthday. Happy birthday, mom. Today's her actual birthday. Dude, my wife, my mom was asking, like, she gives me her phone. She's like,

put in how to watch your shows. And I'm like, and I'm showing her like, okay, Boomer. I'm showing her, right, like on Rumble.

And she knows how to do it on the TV, but not on her phone. Yeah. So I'm showing her. And then she goes to Christy, you do the same. And she's like, well,

I do the show on Monday after, you know, Brian show. And I'm like, no, no. And she's like, after Brian does Wycrums,

No, no. I hope she's watching my mom watching this show. Not that it's that bad. It's that bad. Jackie says, leave mom alone. She's a saint. My mom is the nicest person. But anyways, there was a point.

Wait, wait. She'd be horrified by your antics? I mean, what are you saying? J.B., come on now. Nah, she were on the show. No, she wouldn't be horrified. I mean, this is his mom. She knows him.

I was going to say stop what was that old saying like every every guy every person has to remember that their mom was 21 time exactly yeah yeah jb was harping on that one episode

I don't want to go back down that path what what happened you were talking about how moms are still women too you're ladies too baby stop it stop it damn right it's just saying wait it says stop don't joke about your mom I'm not joking about her at all

I'm just saying I don't want to watch in the show. You know what? It's probably the okay boomer part that people got offended by because we got some numbers in the chat. I mean, if you're asking me how to use Rumble or YouTube, then I mean, I'm sorry, but you're going to get that title. I'm sorry. I mean, they were they were young when the internet started, man. Like they were in their at least they're what, 40s, 30s, probably 30s, 40s. Okay, okay. You know, I am of that group, you know, I mean, come on.

Yeah. Go easy. No, but J.B., you know how to set up a camera. You got your mic working today. You're good, bro. You're good. Man, J.B. texts me like, Brian, how do I get this going? How do I do?

No, so that's actually like a really, like, interesting thing. Like, J.B., your generation has probably seen broadly the greatest advancements in the history of mankind. I agree. and and you know we remember the spread it's incredible from when you were a kid uh because things changed so rapidly and so fundamentally it's incredible i mean when jb was growing up they still like tied letters to pigeons and like threw up in the air i just i just remember you know like my parents you know and this is the thing you do the one little generation back and it's like yeah they were riding into town.

Yeah. Horse drone, no carriage. They were riding into town. Like, oh, wow. Well, especially you grew up, like, you grew up around Alachua County, right? Jacksonville. Jacksonville. Okay.

So, I mean, even, well, I don't know as much about Jack. I know Alachua was definitely way back in time. Like, they're not up to speed still today. And, and so what I actually grew up in was the suburb. outside of Jacksonville and we lived on a dirt road you know and so we had to walk to the top of the road to get our mail okay so it was fairly rural even though it was a suburb you know this is how much things changed because the growth in florida was incredible and so it just it just kept iterating and yeah man i just integration was during my school years so you know a

From second grade, let's see, yeah, second grade was the last year I went to a six-room schoolhouse, one room for each grade, all black. And then we integrated in my third grade year. And that was fascinating. So one of the things, J.B, that I thought was fascinating. And I think this was at Gart when you did the one-on-one with John. one of the things that I heard is because you went through that, you know, Brown versus Board of Education and the desegregation of schools and everything. And one of the things I found that was really fascinating was that even after that desegregation, when people are like, oh, yeah,

they're still rampant racism and all. You were the class president. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I had dinner in Tallahassee. I actually, I think, posted this on Facebook somewhere.

But I was having dinner. Friday night in Tallahassee with a close personal friend, a North Carolina boy, and I was telling him about where I grew up and that it was just incredibly idyllic. And it was. And he was taking issue with it, you know, because, I mean, there was all kinds of racial stuff going on around the country, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, including in Florida. But yeah, we had relatively little of that shit. And yeah, my older brother was class president. My younger brother was class president. And this is at a school that's 95% white. So it was a phenomenal town. I just can't explain to you how phenomenal it was, but it was. And there were all kinds of issues. You know, it's not like it was perfect.

It wasn't like there wasn't occasional, you know, black white shit. But all in all, just phenomenal. When there was occasional black white shit, was it like, to the core racist? Or was it just like something happened that sparked a moment of like animosity between the two? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I do. I do. And it was a little bit of both, of course, because you definitely had your share of what would I say, unreconstructed white boys, you know, had a certain mindset, a certain thought. process and might be a little envious about this, that, or the other, or just didn't like the mixing and the mingling. Now, remember in the chat where I gave a comment, I don't remember what we were talking about. Somebody asked the question and I was talking about, yeah, it was, why is there so much black on black crime?

But the black American population is the most insecure population in this country. And what you lined up getting, and I think you either. saw a little bit of it at the Jesse Jackson funeral. These motherfuckers will not let certain shit go. And they see racism everywhere when it's average ordinary shit that's happening. But you can't tell them. That's average ordinary shit that everybody has to deal with. So yeah, you're going to get this kind of a mix. And when you're growing up in an area where it's again, I'm back to my little crackers and niggers, niggers and crackers. everybody knew this all the crackers knew we as niggas were sitting around talking some shit about crackers and they were doing the same just this is just the way shit was and of course

it happens to this day still in its own little way so that's human beings being human beings on a certain level that's just all there is when you've got a mix of populations i just it's like Italians in New York talking shit about the Irish and the wasp were talking shit about all of them, you know, this kind of thing. Yeah. And you look, do you want to say some? Oh, yeah, for sure. So, J.B., one thing I'm asking you, and more so from, because I wasn't around for that time period, but I have a lot of family that's lived all over the place. And I would say that, wouldn't you say that where you lived was definitely an outlier, though, in that first time period?

because my parents grew up in rural Arkansas, and I had family that was in Virginia. I had family basically all over the south, a few up north, and their experience was very different than yours. Let's put it that way. Yeah. Now, here's one bias, and you can make what you will. Florida people will tell you Florida's different.

And on a certain level, Florida was different because so many people were moving in from all over the place, many, many, many from other parts of the South. People think it's just New York, New York. No, no, no, no. Hell of a lot of people were moving to Florida from the South. But it was just an incredible mix. What I think made my little town, particularly idyllic, was we were so close to the Navy base.

So you didn't just have populations moving to Jacksonville. You had service members coming from all over the place. And I think like at my high school, there probably was. were because it was a booming suburb of Jacksonville, many people, white people, running from desegregation in Jacksonville. You know, because there was a, I just think, boy, we could have probably stories about how this transition happened all across the South because there was the decision. Then there was the desegregation. And then all kinds of neighborhoods started transitioning from majority white to majority black. And X number of white people said, yeah, we're getting the fuck out of here. And so they moved down like to my suburb, my county.

And so yeah, it wasn't that the move was. And this is the thing about the South that people, I think, just don't get, you know, the caricature. It wasn't that they were running from black people because they hate black people. it was a very difficult time. And there was a lot of shit going on. And now you got to deal with conflict. And it's like, you just want to fucking come home and not be bothered and not be worried about shit. And so you then had media pimping up division like we see now.

And so I just, yeah, a lot of people don't get that kind of part of the South. But listen, to your point, Cam, my wife is from Carolina. Okay, South Carolina. And she grew up, I think, in a county that may have been 80, 80% black. She went to an HBCU, South Carolina State, and there had been like a shooting and some black kids were killed. I mean, they had real racial division far more than I experienced. And, you know, of course, I didn't go to FAM in college. I went to UF. So I'm in a majority of white environment yet again. And so I think if I had gone to FAM, there might be a different story that I'd be telling. There might be some stuff that was happening in Tallahassee, you know, bus boycotts and all this other kind of stuff.

But hey, that's not my, that's not my history. Yeah. Real quick, the only reason I brought that up is because I think that because the difference between where you grew up and where, like, my parents grew up, where your wife grew up, there's obviously even more animosity from the people that grew up in those areas versus where you, grew up. But I think the thing still holds true that people just can't let shit go. They see it as what they saw growing up. And what I'm saying is you started at say you started at the 50 yard line, they started at the goal line. So when they got to the 50 yard line, they're like, all right, we made a bunch of progress. And then when they see something, they start going back to the goal line. They start backing up because they're just like, whoa, hold on a minute. This reminds me of when I

was at the 20 yard line, when I was at the 30 yard line. And I'm like, mom, dad, like 1990, I was born. I was born. You guys had me in an area that was like J.B's area. But in the 90s, like, I can't go back past the 80, or not the 80, I can't go past the other teams like 20 yard line. Like, I'm in the red zone, bro. Like, I'm not going back. And so every time they try to tell me a story that like, they're like, oh, this happening today reminds me of when I was a child.

I'm like, that's that's apples to fucking like. And Cam, I know you, I know you've seen this because, man, they can be really quick to slip back into these motherfucking crackers. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, my parents don't use that word, but like it's the same sentiment. You know what I mean? Like it's the same thing.

And it's, it's only specific moments because they both are college educated. My dad went through medical school, although he dealt with racism in a medical school, which is a whole other story for another day. But yeah, man, it's crazy how quickly they slip back. And I'm just like, if you want the progress that you've been fighting for that people legitimately fought for from the Civil War on, like to the Civil Rights movement, you can't go back. Because when you go back, you're just, you're just, you're shit on everything that they've done. In my opinion.

Yeah. And the mindset of the country, this is what I try to say to people, is like, look, we're lucky as fuck to be in this country. And the mindset of the country is to think forward. You're not dwelling on the shit from the past. You're not getting in the mud. You're thinking forward. That's what this country does.

And we've never. And Cam, I know you know this. I think I know your people know this. We've never had as much opportunities we have right fucking now. there was a black president even though he was a piece of shit we had a black president like you get what I'm saying like the fact that his his bitch ass got to be the president just let you know like bro you can anybody can sell out these days everybody and did that punk motherfucker motherfucker goes to the jesse jackson funeral and does punk motherfucker shit yeah like he didn't grow up in a nice area in Hawaii and come on now but go so going back to the original point that kind of kicked that off is, you know, J.B. mentioned the dirt road leading up to his home and people legitimately when, you know, when he was a kid and when his parents were younger, especially, still riding around on horses. And then J.B., correct me if I'm wrong, but when you went to Deadwood,

you took yourself driving Tesla to Deadwood. Yes. Yes. Phenomenal. I mean, dude, what a The change. Yeah. And think about it. I mean, you've got people still right now, clueless about the incredible technological change. We are living through right now because it's, you talk about what I've experienced during the course of my life. But my God, the leap that we're getting ready to make and we're actually making right now is phenomenal. It's phenomenal.

And we're living through it. 100% all right let's get into the superhero beat down by the way i got an update from alpha uh he will be here shortly he had a uh an issue with the uh the little ones and i'll just i'm sure he'll tell the story yes probably going to be way cooler coming from him than from us um so on today's superhero battle we've got an interesting one we've got making his second return to the show Darth Vader versus Gandalf Oh shit

I'm ready for this one Some Lord of the ring So what are our predictions? Gandalf versus Lord Vader Is Gandalf the gray it appears not What? Gandalf the gray? Yeah Although

If it's getting up the gray It should be It should be If it's getting off the gray it should be Darth Vader But I'm still going to go with Gandalf I'm going with Gandalf. I'm going with Gandalf

sorry, Brian. And J.B. is like, who the fuck is Gandalf? J.B. is frozen right now. So, when I change, I want to read the chat, you know, and it's like, damn it, for some reason. Use your phone to monitor that. You think he can see his phone, that little thing? J.B., you know you can see the chat in Streamyard, right?

No, no, no. Stop. You know you can see the chat in Streamyard, right? In Streamyard. Yeah. Oh, my God. How the fuck do I? Leave a chat. Right. Comment.

On the top right. Go to comment. Bro, you haven't known this this whole time? Oh, bro. Your life is changed. See? Welcome to 2026, baby. Bitch.

This is one of the call boomers and it's like, guys. You, you, motherfuck. You motherfri. We do. We do this whole time, nigga. We knew. Damn, J.B. Trying to help you, bro.

I keep trying to tell you, I'm 66, motherfucker. All right. All right, guys. This is a Vader versus. Gandalf from Bat in the Sun on YouTube. A great channel. Tons of content if you're into superhero stuff for sure. And here we

go. Oh, it just dawned on me. We did not get J.B.'s prediction because he was frozen. Gandolph or Vader? You know, I hate these fucking segments, man. I know you did. I don't know any of them. It's like, I think I know who Darth Vader is.

I know Gandalf, motherfucker. I know that. I'm going to Gandalf. I just think it's gay. You just think it's gay. Alright, here we go. Come alone. We must make haste. Stay behind. I have come for the ring.

You shall not park. Looks like tiny bright. That's right. That's right. For us of truth, so this dark lord is through nature. Deceive you. You are a fool, wizard. Your sorcery does not compare.

to the power of the dark side. That is irrelevant in this moment. The one ring is more powerful than even you. To wield this power means you are willing to destroy any good that is left inside of you. Can you do that? ... ... power is weak, old wizard. Your magic betrays you.

I know don't Anakin's tactics. One's greatest enemy is like... enemy is myself. You have too many demons to possess the ring. Your master is defeated. Now hand me the ring.

Ring to rule them all. His fucking walking stick was stronger than Besscar, dude. He's like, that blew my mind. I was like, get the fuck out of that. That stick can't stop that than I thought about it. That's concept school, though. The fact that he turned into young Anakin. That's badass. I don't know about young

Anakin, but definitely. Definitely anakin. Yeah, younger younger Anakin alpha you missed it bro I was listening you missed it Gandalf versus Vader now as I was I was listening to it and what's the what's the little midget dude's name Frodo Frodo went out like a little bitch in the end yeah photo went out like a bitch bro What's he gonna do though put the ring on bro try it that he should have put that he should have put the ring on because then he'll disappear Vader couldn't have seen him and then he would end up somewhere else. That was that was a bitch move. Vader would have just like thrown his lightsaber around the whole realm that he was in and he would have just chopped Frodo down.

Cool. Whatever man. At least go out like a hero, bro. Fucking pushing. Instead of being a bitch. I mean, Vader with the ring. I mean, ooh, cool. Now he can disappear.

Like, really? If you're Vader, you don't need to disappear. You just stand there and fucking rage on everybody. Tell everybody, man. I don't know. The reason I like that one so much is because there's like this ongoing battle between Lord of the Ring nerds and Star Wars legends. And Lord of the Rings nerds are exactly that compared to Star Wars. And yeah, yeah.

Hey, that's clerks. Clerks too. We watched that clip. Yep. Yep. I just made fun of Star Wars. So, our Lord of the Rings so hard. I made some Tolkien freak puke.

And you guys. And you guys look the same to like the rest of society. That's what J.B.'s thinking. Wait, real quick, though, when I was, so when I was in New Zealand, they filmed the Lord of the Rings in New Zealand. So I don't know what people remember, but in the movie, there's like a passage where they hide underneath. There's like a covering. The horses run by, whatever. When I was over there, I was watching the news and somebody dumped the dead body under there. That's like a hiding place that they put dead bodies.

Because it's just like a normal pathway along a room. Yeah. fucked up, bro. Like, literally, they're like, they showed the body back and I was like, what the fuck is the news over here? They're like, see, dead body right there. I'm like, you're feeling's fucking wild, bro. So, Alpha, you are only

38 minutes late this time. You all don't even know what I was dealing with. Come on. Come on. Come on. As long as everyone's, as everyone's healthy, we want to hear it. Yeah, yeah, everybody's healthy. So my, my five-year-old, she's been doing with the little bug.

And I tell her, hey, go brush your teeth. You know, I have the routine that I do before the show starts. And I just hear, Daddy! So it's, you run in there, right? Like, it's that kind of scream. And I look and there's like blood in the sink, right? So I'm thinking like, she pulled her tooth out or something. And she's like, my nose.

So there's like, coming out of her, her right little nostrils. She had a nose bleed that's on her sleeve. She's panicking. It's just because, you know, she's been blowing and blowing and probably picking, you know, she shouldn't do that. And so finally got there, but she was just freaked out. Because this is the first one. She's never had one before. And so cleaning it up, right? But in her panic, like she got it on her little stepstool. She got it on the floor, right? The smaller ones just looking like the hell coming up my sister's face, right? And so I'm cleaning her up. And then the little one decides that, you know, oh, you know, she's trying to be a little helper.

She grabs a towel off my thing, drops it on there, right? It makes me a bigger mess. So I'm like, So finally I'm sitting there and I'm like, all right, baby, like you're fine. Let's pinch your nose. I started for her. I pinch her nose, how to put her head back. And I'm like,

okay, now you got to do this. Like you got to show me, you know how to do it. So just put your fingers where daddy's fingers are. So she's pinching it. And I'm like, we got to put your head back, right? And I can see like the little toilet paper's filling up.

So I'm getting the next one ready. And I'm, you know, just tossing them in the, in the toilet as we do it. So finally, it looks like it's pretty much stopping. So then I do that.

I'm dad, dude, right? So I just, you know, I make the little torpedo tissue and like, foo. Yeah. I'm like, all right. Now just pinch it and hold it there. So I can clean up this damn. Looks like, you know, one of like freak show scenes, right? So I'm cleaning that.

Get it all cleaned up. Then I don't know. It's one of her like nice little shirts. So I'm there trying to scrub the shirt. And it was just, it was a damn catastrophe, bro. Daddy daycare. Oh. Damn, dude.

it was well we're glad it was one of those ones where it's like like like you like you freak out with them but you can't show that you're freaked out because like everything you do they're about to read for the rest of their life yeah right like if like she sees that i'm freaking out because my princess you know what i mean i freaked out i just i kept it internally you know but it's like you know it's just like you're good you're cool you know and he's in issues this you know i could see in her little eyes she's like rescue me from whatever the hell is happening, you know? And so it's just, damn it. It was a moment. All right. So we're going to do a, uh, we're going to do a segment here that's probably going to piss off some people. Oh, shit.

Off a whole shitload of people on X over the last couple of days. Oh, I think I know what it is. Go on. Oh, no, it's not. No. Armeet Dylan. puts this out on X. Alpha, I'm sure you've seen this, right? I have not. Oh, I saw it. Well, I saw that she did the post, but I was like, oh, she went to the gun range and I just didn't look into it.

So she puts out this post, all right, and we're going to politely nitpick it. And she puts this up and says, not bad from 10 yards. Okay. Okay. And the gun community is relentless. Like, we are just the gun community. And I'm not, I'm not going to say, we because I'm not necessarily in the gun community, but we gun, gun, gun, unfficianados are assholes straight up, straight up. And she says, 10 yards, not bad from 10 yards.

And I mean, look, she's got one, two, three, four, five, six drop shots. Not bad. Okay. I don't even know how many are center mass.

But let's unpack this because this will lead to the next segment. It's not like we're just going to sit here and rail on, on our meat, Dylan. It's awesome to see an assistant attorney general, you know, putting something like this out in the, you know, the climate around the second amendment. It's a good thing. Hold on. Am I, am I blind as shit? I see, I'm seeing two. Leave it alone. Leave it alone. No, I'm saying, I'm only seeing two. You got one up here in the top left. Oh, okay. I didn't see. I didn't see. I don't see one here. And then you jump down here. You got one here. Technically, these would still be gut shots. But, you know, no. I really didn't see those. I only saw the two that were to the right.

So that's why I was just like, I'm blind or what the hell's going on? Okay. So look, I'll tell you guys, when you watch how this shooting occurred, like this wasn't rapid fire or anything like that, they should all be within the second shade of white here. He's not a problem. I understand that. I understand that. I understand that. What was the controversy?

I mean, what is the problem? I see it. I'm bragging about it. So here's the form. I support her on this. I agree. So do I. So do I.

However, however, however, however, this is a, this is a, oh, I'm not sharing the right screen, by the way. Here's the thing. When you're going to post like that and say not bad, then that's, that's great. That's fine. You know, but like put something like I'm going to keep working at it or whatever, because a lot of people will get, go to, and I was a firearms instructor for, you know, 10 years. I've got numerous firearms certifications from Tom Givens to Masad Ayub. I've got a ton of like firearm certifications. Did you say Massad?

Masad Ayub. Okay. Okay. M.A.S. I think it's N.A. I'll just fucking leave. Oh, look him up. He's like one of the most renowned firearms instructors in the country. It's my JV's boys.

Max. Yeah, buddy. So anyways, the point I'm making here is a lot of people will take that target. and be like not you know that not to brag but that's pretty good and then they won't train for a year or they won't train for six months or whatever the case might be they also will you know pat you on the back and you'll think oh everything's fine with this i don't need to get better i just need to get to this level and then i'm good there you know this is the one aspect i think where you need to be critical and you need to have alligator skin if you're

going to post something like that and get critiqued because the form in these videos i'm about to show is atrocious, atrocious. She's not a competition shooter. This is leading into this segment alpha. The fact that, you know, all those shots with the exception of, I think, three, you know, all would have hit the body.

Like, I'm good with that. Yeah. Like. And I like the fact that she posted. Yes. Because you ain't sitting there trying to say she's fucking perfect. She said not bad, which is true. And, you know, she's a fucking chick. I mean, come on, man. No, I'm with you on that. Posting it is huge because it, it's, it's, it shows other people like, hey, this is something that you should.

I want to get out and do. Yeah. Exactly. I agree. But again, Alpha, going back to your point about not bad, it's not bad in the situation that they're in. It's, this would never fly in an actual. you know, fight or flight, you know, gunfight situation. And here's the point. Let me play these videos. Okay. So you're seeing, you know, very slow shots, three seconds between each shot or whatever. The one thing I will say, they have phenomenal grips.

I don't know if you guys can see the grip, but whoever taught them, the grip is freaking spot on. That is an excellent thumbs forward grip. The foot stance I'm not too big of a fan on. This one's not as bad as the rest. This one's pretty bad. Is that Harmeet? I think this is.

Definitely indicates the lack of comfort. Yes. Now, that can't be how you train. How do we know that's not the first time? Or even if it's the fifth time, it could. You know how many times you have to, like it. And I think this goes men or women. You know how many times you have to shoot,

especially when you know that there's a camera on recording you, And there's someone there to monitor if you learn before you get comfortable. Like that takes a long time. And you probably know. I'll be on it. I don't actually think I was comfortable with the pistol until I became a cop. I don't even think that the Marine Corps gives you enough pistol train. No, it doesn't.

It doesn't. It doesn't be comfortable. Unless you fall with pistol and then you get a little bit more. But most Marines don't fall. That's still not enough, though, man. You know what I mean? It's compared to what we do for rifles. not even it's not in the same universe you know what i mean but we you know we'll strip we'll strip

a rifle down like a naked woman love to do with our eyes closed you know there's there's comfort there you can have you can have an entire stadium look at a marine snap in and he's not even to hesitate because that's how comfortable we are with it you know it's it's it's repetition you know and i actually you know i think the community coming after her for that is retarded all you're going to do is deter that you're you're going to now when someone goes and shoots they're you're going to hurt their confidence that the community should come in and say hey good on you let's see what the you know constant improvement on the next one let's you know let's get some less drops get it on there but good on you for doing that you know good good shit on that

like be support be motivating there and then you know as the videos come in or the static photos come in then be like hey you know adjust your you know adjust your legs or work on your shoulders you know or you know stop you know like you know you know start adding things but i think someone especially a government official comes out does that i think we should be 100% supporting them behind that especially or just leave it be it's like we live now everybody's got a fucking comment and critique shut the fuck up i'll tell you what i'll tell you what i'll tell 99% of the guys that'll show their dog target and everything's on the x i'd be like all right motherfucker do that while I'm shooting at you now.

That's the point that I'm getting at is. So if you if you look at the videos, they're being instructed here. And this is a separate video. We don't have to play it. But that's that's the stance that this instructor is witnessing and they're okay with it. Weight on the back foot, front foot. I don't even know what like if that's like the karate kid like, you know, the crane front foot, like your toes up in the air. First off, they're also shooting with sandals, I think.

which is a big no-no. Like never go to a range, but that's just range safety shit. Let a casing land on that toe. Exactly. A piece of brass gets stuck in between your big toe and your middle toe, and yeah, you're screwed after that.

But I think my critique is more on the instructor here. I was going there, man. The instructor, nobody should be going after the person that's training. The instructor's the one fucking up. Tell her to do, if she's going to keep doing this in these videos, the instructor should not lose their job,

But like, people should be shit on the instructor. Be like, what the fuck are you doing? Are you telling this woman to do this? I agree. Well, even that, even that, you can't know the circumstance, you know, and the fear. You know, you're working with somebody. And it's out of context. You just can't know.

I got to agree with this on on JV. It's out of context. Like, you don't know, like, maybe her meat was having a grip and sight picture issue. And listen, it's like, we're going to. All of the women have fucked up stances, though. And then we'll work on that. Well, because maybe you're working on that. It's like, hey, we're just going to make sure you can hold the damn thing and shoot the damn thing and hit paper.

And then as because here's the thing. That could be a training thing too. It's like, all right, they don't have the proper stance yet, you know, but they got a good grip and they're getting their sights and they're hitting paper. And it's like, all right, and they're happy. And now you work on the stance. And now all of a sudden you're not dropping rounds and it's like, there's more confidence. And they're seeing like, hey, every time I, you know, adapt one of these. the things that I'm being trained on, I get better and better and better and better.

What do you want to do the stance first, though? Because once you change the stance, it's going to change the way you shoot. Obviously, this is different for sports, but for sports, if you start off training, like as a young kid, whatever, you teach a kid the wrong way to start. They're going to be fucked up for life. They're never going to be able to excel at their sport because they're going to learn that muscle memory of the wrong way to stand. I think it'll be, I think that'd be dependent on trainer. There's probably trainers that'd be like, yeah, stance is more important. Other ones that'll be, you know no grip and sight pictures more important i think that would go i never did formal training so i don't know but i think it would that would just kind of fall on the trainers how i would see that so typically

and and again this is the way that not only the way that i did instruction for for new shooters but also for the way that um that i was taught you know how to teach new shooters you're going to start with the stance is one of the first things stance and actually grip is probably the first thing because you got to teach them how to, you know, not, and this is beyond safety. Safety is always the first thing. Teach them, you know, the four firing rules, you know, the four weapon safety rules, that kind of stuff. But then from there, you're teaching them how to handle the firearm, how to grip it properly, because a lot of people still think you do the hand on the bottom like this and, you know, all sorts of crazy shit that I've seen. Yeah, sideways. If you're in the hood, you know, kill shot. Learn, though. You're born knowing how to shoot like that, bro.

Depends on what area that the country you're born in. What side of the tracks? You learn to shoot like this. You're going to shoot properly. But they, and to be fair, they all had great grips. They had the nice good thumbs forward grips, you know, their arms. None of them really had their arms locked out. They all had their elbows slightly bent.

That was great. But stance is one of the first things that you teach people. Now, granted, not every single time that you're in a gunfighter, are you going to be able to get like the perfect stance? And I tell people this all the time. So you do want to practice all different stances. You want to practice, you know, what do they call it, the weaver stance where you're to the side. You know, you want to practice one hand, offhand, you know, left hand versus right.

And this is more advanced stuff. But fundamentally, when you're getting started, you want to teach them the boxer stance, you know, with your feet's a little more than shoulder with a part, your strong foot a little bit forward, weight on your front left foot. You know, if you're righty, wait on your front left foot. Teach them eye dominance. Like, do people even know, well, and I don't know if they taught this or not, but this is something I can teach. people real quick that are listening if you do you do you guys all know your dominant eye I know alpha will for sure do you guys know how to tell what your dominant eye is no okay so I'm gonna teach you guys real quick take your fingers your

hands and make them into a triangle very small try I know what you're doing here very small triangle no well actually actually somebody will quit this I don't give a fuck because this is how you teach my dominance So put your hands in a let's do a circle like well then that's getting into something completely different Hold your arms lock them out in front of you and with both your eyes open Focus on something out in the future out in the distance and put it inside of that little hole And now slowly slowly pull your your hands back to your face and whatever hand your hand goes to that's your dominant eye Okay. So hold it out, hold it out in a spot like that, like you put something in the middle and then slowly pull it back to your face and that will tell you what your dominant eye is. Keep both eyes open. Okay. So most righties are going to be right eye dominant. I'm weird. I'm left eye dominant. I'm right. I'm right handed, but left eye dominant. But I train myself through the Marine Corps to shoot, you know, rifles with my right eye. I still aim with my right eye, which is crazy because you're not supposed to. But.

Are you ambin extras? Nope. Nope. Nope. And I throw and hit right handed. So I'm like I'm a righty through and through. Um, but yeah. Anyways, the whole point in that was just to kind of get this conversation started. And I wanted to get into, I wanted to, you know, play like a little video that Alpha will probably have the most insight into. But I do want to play this to, to loosen everybody up a little bit here. There you go. Now that's some shoot right there. that's some shoot right there. So I'm going to play this clip here. And this is a, and this guy, kinetic concepts on Facebook and X. I,

well, I don't know if he's on X. I think he's on Facebook and YouTube. There's a lot of videos like on, on room clearing and that kind of stuff. And again, if you're still at Hermit Dillon's level of experience, you're probably not going to have to worry too much about clearing a room.

But there's a lot of people that are firearm, officiados train like you fight. They're a little more advanced level. And so which of these three methods? And I want Alpha, don't you answer first. I want to get Cam and J.B. on this first. Although J.B. was in the Army, so he might, you know. But all right, let's play this. Which method are you using to clear a room? When the decision's been made to enter the room. Option one, option two, or option three. when the decision's been made to enter the room. Option one, option two, or option three.

One more time. When the decision's been made to enter the room. Option one, option two, or option three. All right, Cam. I said three, but I was guessing two first, but I'll go with three. The reason I said two is because you don't want to show the gun at all. The reason I said three was because I saw with the, the before he entered the room, you saw the corner.

Then when he turned, he saw the other one. All right. I think, Cam, you're, well, go ahead, Alpha. What do you think? Three, three hundred percent. Never to. Never. Cool.

I'm glad I went to three first, then. I'm glad I settled on three because I was like two maybe. And I was like, no, that seems like a bad idea because that's how you get shot. Because you just walk in, you don't even have it ready. right three all the way you're clearing the majority of the room before you ever break the yeah that's that's why i thought of it what one looked hilarious to me at first to be honest i was like that seems like you're going to get a hand shot but so there's there's only one scenario where i would ever choose to alpha and that is if you know if there's somebody else in the room

and it's it's like a get in there right now scenario and you know that they're in the corner you know, and I don't know how you would know that, maybe you walked by or you got some, some sort of idea that they're not front and center when you, when you, in your fatal front, when you come through the door, that's the only way that two would ever be acceptable. And it's still not. It's, it's absolutely stupid. Three all the way. Okay.

Three all the way. You want to pie the room. It's called pying the room. And you want to, before you break that threshold, you want to get as much eyes on as you possibly can. And by the way, if you are going to have to do two because you know that they're in the, you know, they're on that side of the room and they're not in the fatal front you never want to come in at full height because if they're in that corner and they're locked on that door they're going to be

center mass up in terms of like predetermined aiming on there so if you're going to come in there you want to come in lower than uh than where your center mass would be that makes sense yeah would you you agree or disagree on that alpha uh it it depends you're not wearing full battle rattle you're not wearing full battle rattle you're not wearing arm that changes that changes that changes everything you know what i mean yeah if if if i'm going in there and and and you know i'm just i'm civvies then yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna definitely do something that's different what than what i think they're gonna anticipate 100% have you ever done to alpha have ever no no i've never done okay now um we'll do it changes up when you got more than one person too you know what i mean

Um, you get your sectors of fires, you, you'll breach together. Um, but more, I would say 90% of the time in that situation, you're going to be going with three. Or like, like, I think it was smays that said it. Someone said it's throw a flash bank. Well, I mean, that's things are wild on an incendiary grenade. They, they make us experience those before we get to use them. Well, so in, in the military, that's the rule is you never enter the room without a flash or a and the flash being a flash bang, the bang being a concussion grenade or a frag grenade or something along those lines. But yeah, definitely three, pying the room first, making sure that you get as much depth into that room before you actually put yourself, you know, where you're vulnerable. Because once you cross that threshold, you're vulnerable from every position in that room and you can only look at one part of the room. And they know where you're coming from, too.

There's situations where it's the anomaly. And this is where the level of confidence comes in with the tactical team. Because when someone makes a decision, there's no time to be like, hey, I don't think so. Hey, listen, it's someone, you know, your, you're, your, your, your, your number one, number two guy makes the decision. And you just react. And we were doing an entry. And we knew that these were, you know, high threat targets. You know, there was a gang injunction that we're doing.

when we go to hit this house in the back and by you know all you know hindsight we we were as covert and quiet as you could expect like we did everything perfect by the book there's no way this guy should have known that we're coming and you know when we hit multiple targets all the teams are hitting at the same time so this doesn't give someone to get on the phone and let everybody know so all targets are being hit and like I said we we were we did everything perfect And I'm number two guy. And so as the guy is getting ready to breach in, number two is first one into the door because one is the guy that's carrying the,

the battle ring. And as I'm looking at, I'm like right at the perfect angle at the window where you know with the blinds, you can see just enough. Yeah. And so as we get there and we're getting, you know, lined up to make entry, I see the guy and there's a shotgun, a sawed off shotgun on the armrest of the couch against the wall. Like right across me. It's like it's it's right in in my purview and I see him getting up and running towards it.

So we weren't set to make the breach yet. And so I just you know, I go breach and you know my guy big old dude, big old dude, right? He just hits that. Boom. And we go in, you know, not doing the clearing like we did, went straight at him and did the takedown. Now, let's just say that would have ended up in, you know, a shooting, right? And one of us gets hit or there's a second guy. that's in there we probably would have got very criticized on well why why'd you go in like that and

not do it the proper way and in a lot of aspects it'd be a fair argument to make but in this situation you have those milliseconds and it's if he's going for the gun then chances are that's probably the only gun that's in that room but again you're still it's a gamble you're still making a gamble in that situation it worked out good for us because i'm getting to him right when he's putting his hands on and I'll like, I'll shoot your fucking head. You know what I mean? And, you know, and, you know, it happened without, you know, any violence after that. But it's one of those situations where, like, you know, that's the anomaly.

You know what I mean? And that's just, that's just trust, man. Because the guys coming in behind you, they're sweeping the room. Like, they're still going to do, you know, what they got to do because they're looking for, you know, the other threats. Because you don't have time to say, hey, there's a guy going, you're like, you just don't. Let me ask your question. Alpha, were you, how many, how many of those situations had you been in before? Do you feel like you were polished at that point?

Like, you've done it up at times? Yeah. Yeah. Would you have done it if it was your first or second time? That's my other question. It's hard to say because, you know, I, I had more entries as a Marine than probably ever as a cop. Like, it's just, I mean, shit, how many times you do that a day? You know, especially in the beginning part.

You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, it's this. Now, that said, you know, the majority of the entries I did as a Marine, it was probably like less than 5%, you know, or actual ones that, you know, had conflict attached to them. You know, like there's a huge, you know, you could say, you know, did, you know, 10,000, you know, but only maybe 100 yielded, you know, like conflict. as a cop in those entries those numbers are different man well the other the other big difference between being a cop versus a marine is as a marine we're going in to kill like we're going in and we know almost immediately as a cop you can't go in with that that mindset necessarily because

you have to first identify them as a as a direct and immediate threat you know and in the marines by the time we're going into a situation like that we're pretty damn sure that it's it's you know a direct threat and if it's not and you fuck up nobody know nobody saw habit and and can can probably understand half of this that i'm going to say right now so when i got on the tactical team with the gang unit you know as point man you have that big ass shield that you see in the movies that has the light and the glass and then there's an arm part right so you got this big shield here and then your your arms in this little cutaway that's stuck there so you got like massive coverage, right? And I would say more than a third, no, that's, that's, I would say

probably half, if not more than half, I would not deploy shield. I did not feel, because it's up to you. And I just didn't feel comfortable with it because I revert back to us, you know, as Marines. It's having that rifle going in with that rifle. That felt like second nature to me. So even though I had less protection, that felt more comfortable to me than, you know, using the shield. Now, there are some situations where, you know, we anticipated like this, this guy is going to shoot like he's going to shoot back at us. Sargent didn't allow for discretion. He's like, nope, you know, you're taking the shield. You know what I mean? Because look, we're all going to get behind that shit starts happening,

you know. Um, so you had that, you know, but it was, it's great because we even have these soft shields. Like, they're still, you know, protect you. you know, but you lose the ability of the window, you know, because it's, it's this one that drops. It's like a bunch of Kevlar that just folds down. But, you know, it's, but no, man, it's just, I felt more comfortable without the shield than with the shield when we would do injuries. So, Jess Koch in the chat said, went to Top Gun training. They always taught not to enter at full height if possible. Unless, like Alpha, like, as soon as Alpha was kind of like, I knew he was thinking as a cop and not as, you know,

civilian doing that. You don't want to do that with body armor. First and foremost, it's a lot heavier. With the adrenaline, your legs go weak. And the second you step into that room, if you lose your balance, you fall over and you're not stopping yourself from falling. So yeah, with armor, you don't want to do that. But if you don't have armor, then yeah, you want to get your ass in there and do it that way. The other thing about this is that situation we just presented as a civilian. you should never be doing that unless there's something in that room that you absolutely need like your kid or you know a loved one right somebody else that's a direct threat right like there ain't nothing to go in that room for and risk that unless it's something that you immediately and that complicates the shit out of that situation if they've got somebody in there with them so i'm calling the pros of that situation man you know what we should do for next week alpha You and me, do you, you don't have stairs in your house. Damn.

I was going to say we should make a video. I'm not bougie yet. Just break into someone else's house, bro. I'm not busy. Just go shoot at someone else's house. I do, unfortunately, live in a two-story house. And I was saying we should both make videos on clearing stairs, both up and down, and see how we overlap in doing that.

But since I'll tell you what, mine will be different because I have. had to act. I actually had to abandon some of the ways we did it in, in the Marines, um, because it just wasn't functional as, as, as a cop. You know what I mean? Um, and because the other thing, too, is in the Marine Corps, at minimum, you're going to have three people with you. Right. Right. You know what I mean? At minimum in law enforcement, sometimes you're by yourself. Yep. You know, so you, you do have to, you know, adapt to these things, you know, I'll tell you what, man, three story apartment complex. you know it's i'll tell you i'll share a story with you guys and it you know spoiler alert uneventful didn't turn out to shooting so just want to make sure everybody aware of that we have to land a target right

it's because we we we know that this is a bad gang dude it's jb cam it's one of your types of peeps so you know you know so so we know hey man i don't i don't i don't fuck with the idf like him man We're talking about, so we know that the propensity for violence is just going to be higher, right? Let's just be honest. And on top of that, the apartment complex is called Rosa Parks, right? Oh, don't come up and Rose of Parks like that, bro. Come on now.

I'm just saying, you know. Was it on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard? It wasn't. It was in an area known as Gatewaying. It's the Gateway Posse Crips. It was a Crip gang member. And it's, it's, you know, I think when these people engineer these, these apartments for the projects, I think there's like this, like this little hidden. Like I know this is going to be like like a death trap. You know, like I'm going to design this for the ultimate death trap for law enforcement. Because that's essentially what this design was. You know, there's, you know, you come in and then the entire complex is looking in at you. And your, your avenue is, there's only two ways into that, that neighborhood as it is. begin with. Um, but we had to land them and we just, we couldn't do it any other way.

We can do it through, you know, you try bird, try helicopter. We just couldn't land it. So we knew one of us is going to have to go in there and physically, you know, land that person. And so I got, I got mental issues, so I volunteer. And, you know, but here's where it gets uncomfortable. Remember, you're not going in with the uniform, right? Where people know, you know, back off, don't do nothing. No, like, You're going in there looking like a like one of the Mexican homies. Right. And in a in a in a project where it's pretty much 98% he held the darker shade of brown and I'm going there and you can't have a vest like you have zero protection.

You know. And so I have a wired the wired AirPods. This is how bad this is how long ago it was. And I'm in there. I got the hoodie pulled over and I'm just acting like I'm talking to a chick on the phone. And sure shit, you start getting the guys come out. You start getting the whistle calls. You know, people want to know what's up.

You know, yeah, they do. You know, and you hit them up and just like, nah, you know, I'm waiting for so-and-so. And you better, you better make sure that that so-and-so lives there or, you know, shit's going to go sideways. I mean, we have a safe word, you know, once because I'm, there's a cop that's on the phone with me. And if I say something, they're going to come in. But, I mean, a lot of shit can go wrong. I remember, man, my armpits, because I had a hoodie, but my.

t-shirt armpit bro. Shredged. Trench, dude, I was, I was stressed on that one. Everybody has a gun there. Like, I would see guys come out and they had a gun and that's not uncommon. That's not uncommon. Like, I made a note and I'm just like, hey, Mark

13 down, you know, BMA, you know, this and this for guns. We can come get him later, you know. But I was stressful times, man. But then it was the rush. Like, once you landed it and you got the guy and you got in the car, just like, ah, it's pizza.

King Alpha, at that point. Alfa, are you an adrenaline freak? You know, yes and no. Yes and no. Like, I won't always seek it out, but once it happens, I do enjoy it. You know, but, you know, age and maturity. No, that's a lot, you know, as I, the guy, I was interviewing. Jay Gatlin on Saturday on people.

That was a great interview, by the way. Sorry to catch you off, but people need to go watch it if I haven't seen it. That dude is, that's a hero right there, man. That's a hero. I'll say it right now. He's a hero, man. 100%, man. And, you know, we're talking about a story where, again,

and it was within my first three or five years. And I'm in a foot pursuit, stolen vehicle, gang member. We're jumping fences. And this is after I realized I don't have my radio disconnected on me. And I can hear the sirens of all my partners, but they don't know where I'm at. Well, you're committed. Like, hell, no, this dude ran.

I don't catch them. And then probably going to be an ass-whipping at the end of this, right? Like, that's your mentality. You go and you get, you know, 13-year, 14-year me on that. Dude jumps out the car and he's running to neighborhood. It's just like, you know, Spanish male, blue hoodie. Let's start setting up that perimeter, fellas. I set up the perimeter.

We're going to be here about, about 30 minutes. We're going to wait for the bird to come in. we'll go in as a team and we'll find them hiding under one of the you know one of the sheds or something or something. It's a vertal shit. Yeah. I'm too old for this shit. You're just like each, you know, you start realizing man like you can't go can't go insane even even with all the heavy gear on, you know, just the the Sam Brown and the radios and the ammunition and the soft fest and all that. Jump in a fence, jump in a fence. Like that takes a toll on your body, man. It beats you up. Let's play this video here. Somebody.

had sent me this last week. I didn't get a chance to play it in time. It might have been Smey, actually, in the chat that sent this, but I have never wanted to own a Caltech. So full disclosure, I love the Keltec sub-2000s. I don't own one, but I really want one just as like a bugout gun. For those that don't know, it's like a 9mm or 40 that can be broken down to like an 18-inch square. Pretty badass for what it is. You know, and they used to be relatively cheap. Now, they're like 7,800 bucks. They used to be like three or 400 bucks. But check out this commercial that they put out now.

It's obviously not on television, but this is the ad that Caltech is putting out for their new. I think it's the MP50, I think it's called. Who you think they're trying to appeal to there, Alpha? Man, I've never owned one, never shot one. I remember the very first time I even mentioned at Caltech, I about got the shit kicked out of me by everybody in the locker room. And you should. And you should. you know because you know i i didn't grow up around guns you know the the guns that my cousins had

they didn't talk about them because the shit was hitting because they weren't supposed to have them you know you know what i mean points yeah yeah high points and shit like that yeah and so my my first exposure to firearms um like legitimate wasn't until the marine corps you know i went out you know probably 12 13 with with a couple like the old football team buddies to you know go hunting with 22s but other than that i didn't really get my experience exposure to the military. So I didn't know a whole lot about guns until the military and law enforcement. And then like I said, the first time I mentioned Caltech is like it is like asking for a bud light couple years ago with the mavaney stuff. Right. It's like what the hell wrong with you?

You like penis in your mouth, boy? Like no. I just have a Caltech. So that that already kind of created the picture for me. And I was like, yeah, never going to talk. about that again that was a learning experience so but those tell tech keltec does actually make a pretty decent um fuck it's been so long since i've seen one i'm trying to remember the the shotgun they make a semi-auto shotgun that's pretty badass uh can't remember what the fuck it was it says it says ksg and a ks7 maybe one of those two my i think it's the ksg let me let me look it up but that's the mp 50 the p50 is what you can get so

The MP50's got select fire. It is... Come on. Why is this taking so long? No, it's... Yeah, it is the KSG, and it's pump action. I thought they made a semi-auto version, though. I don't know. Maybe it's the... Maybe that's the seven. That's the semi-auto version.

Anyways, had a nice little gun segment there. We haven't talked about guns too much on this show. And that's... Not really at all. Kind of a manly thing, so... Do you have a gun that you prefer? No. Are you not a gun guy, J.B?

You don't like guns? No, no, I'm okay with it, but you know, my wife is freaky about shit. And so, yeah. I bought my wife. Her first gun that I ever bought for her was a Ruger LP9. And then eventually got her a Glock 19. that was too big for her

so I got her a Glock 43 and I took the Glock 19 and now I pretty much carry all the guns so they just I just have like 10 guns around my waist everywhere I go carry them all you know because you got to have them all man you got to have a backup gun to the backup gun no I'm just kidding oh boy who Dax is like Pokemon

yeah I have the sub 2009 millimeter they have it in 10 millimeter now damn awesome tool fits in the center console of my RAM well ram center console is like a fucking gun case certain Rams yeah my wife tried to bring a a loaded Glock 19 magazine through TSA one time oh yeah he forgot obviously right oh yeah she forgot it was she forgot it was in your purse and yeah TSA guy was like is there a reason you have a magazine in your purse and she's like to read on the airplane and the guy's like no no

No, no, like a loaded gun magazine. And she's like freak out. And like, they had to like do the pat down and everything. And they're like, we have to take you back to a room. And I was like, okay. And I was walking with her. And they're like, you're not taking her without me. And they're like, okay, we can do it out here.

And so they like, you know, did like this whole like crazy pat down. And the funniest part of it is the people we were traveling with as we're going through. She gets like the preclear and we all had to go through the normal clear. And we're like, oh, how did that fucking work out, Mr. preclear? You know? Anyways. Where to Alpha go?

Maybe another nose. Another nosebleed. All right. Let's get into the shenanigans of the show. And I've got a whole bunch to go through. But, Cam, I'll let you, because we've been, I've been, I've dominated everything today. So I'll give it over to you. I was trying to find this one clip.

Oh, no, you're good. You're good. Go ahead. Oh, pull it up. It's two minutes, but I'm trying to cut it apart. first because I'm trying to find the part because I've got I got to there pretty quick on a purfrey why women live longer than men there's a couple things you're gonna need to know when you're on a file I'm probably safety it's like um like if you come to this fence over here

this one ah fuck it's a little you're not supposed to touch it don't touch it because it's electric why don't you say that I was getting into it and you grab your pants I pointed at the fence the fence fence can be that bad it's electrician it's electrician he's just from New Zealand he's No, it keeps the cows. You think I'm not tougher than a cow? Yeah. Chau bunga, baby. Pek-a-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

That's for bulls, actually. Buhn't. Don't try again. Don't try again. Don't touch it. Don't touch it. Woo! Try it's a fucking rush.

Try it again, Jimmy. Try it again. Don't go again. There's a fucking rush, hey! There's a fucking rush, oh. I don't know, yeah, yep, yep, yep. Oh my Lord. Fucking retarded.

Yep. Fucking retarded. That is one of the reasons why women longer than men. Here is the second reason. Don't drink that. So I learned about how to find out how you have a UTI, so I peed in the cup. And then when I dip this and this is how, this is the new thing, I told you not to drink it.

You just don't listen. Told you not to drink it. Apple juice. It's a joke. It's apple juice. I was about to say, why you putting piss in the fridge, lady? Not labeling this. Well, she said you have to mix it with apple juice. I guess, I don't know if that's how that works or not. You can't mistake apple juice for piss.

for piss. If it's mixed again. I mean, he made that look like, I hope that's fake because they're nasty man. How long is this apple juice been sitting here? So I moved it up to 1.25 speed, but this is what you said about Christy reminding me of this. Oh, what's going crazy? I know it's crazy. I got caught up into crazy. The fuck am I doing at the airport with a goddamn piss on not supposed to be doing shows and shit. That was a mistake. I had too much luggage. too many guns. My motherfucker bad. At least my nigger friends understood.

Our white friends didn't understand it all. That mother, what? He had a gun. Niggas like, uh, yeah. White people were like, but it was stolen. Uh, yeah. I'm gonna shoot a nigger with my son. Got the bullshit like that. Bam, bam, there's evidence. Come find me. Fucked up part about it was the TSA person was cool. It was a nigga. He like 24. He a fan. He's talking all professional and shit. And then I just heard the nigger just come out of me and scare both of us. And he was just like, yeah, man, I watch while now all the time.

Nick, what the fuck are you doing? He's like, Nick, what are you talking about? It's a gun in this bag. Nick, I don't even have a bag. What the fucking shit? I hate bags, Nick. I hate them. I hate them.

I don't even like them under my eyes, nigga. My niggas will tell you I hate a bag. That's good enough for that one. But when you said that about Christy, I was like, if Christy would have really, realize it was in there, she, she would have been funny enough to say that. I ain't my bag. What you're talking about?

I don't even like bags. I don't even under my eyes. Oh, man. So I got this video here. I don't know if you guys have seen this AI baby shit. Comedians. Oh, yeah. I love that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is fucking hilarious. Hilarious. Here we go. These are AI babies. telling jokes, I guess, about being a baby. It's a real routine, though, right? What's that?

It's a real routine. They're just using the baby. No, no. These are all jokes from a baby's perspective. Yes, it's like, yes, it's like AI wrote jokes. If a baby could tell jokes, this is what the baby's jokes would be, and they dubbed in babies telling the jokes.

I didn't know that. Best fitting is weird as hell, bro. I have to start potty training. I'm like, excuse me, you want me to go to another room and sit on a cold seat instead of shitting comfortably in bed? Are you fucking serious? Mom says I have to eat my vegetables if I want to get big. I'm like, oh yeah, Mom? I have to eat my vegetables.

No, for a fact, you ass didn't get that big eat no motherfucking vest. I'm gonna swear, I'm gonna to wash my mouth out with soap if I say it again. Do Dad, it promise me you won't use the same bar or soap that you watch your fat fucking ass with. I had a last night nursing last night. It's fine. I'll just get a lit... ...tains not play with our food. So while other kids get bedtime stories, I've got auto play. And my little bi is just YouTube asking me if I'm still watching.

I just got to know what that means. Sometimes I'll wake up in the morning. wonder who's my diaper? I don't poop there when I went to sleep. Was it you dad? Did you do it? I'm watching you, man. She's a doctor flipping me over and smacking me on my butt. Like what the hell did I do, bro? Why are you spanking me already? I just fucking got here.

Oh, that's great. Oh, man. Oh, my gosh. AI is going to cancel every job. You won't need jobs anymore. need jobs anymore there's no job like what's funnier than a comedian you know like uh what was that guy that we were watching last week that makes fun of everybody you know that that got canceled in minnesota like you don't need that guy anymore you just got it's way better to watch AI babies making AI generated jokes uh crazy shit that we would never expect to come out of a baby's mouth but we're

like holy shit that's the perspective of a baby yeah i think the only thing that'll last through this is uh is live stuff so like um like um like crowd work stuff like that but but the thing is all the people that have like regular sets that they go around doing the same set like every show that she's just gonna get washed out man yep what you got here all right so this one it'll be kind of hard to see what she writes but uh i'll break it down for you and you can see in the comments you was writing what did you write all by yourself i write what is it saying it says i love my daddy it says i love my daddy oh my god I love my daddy. You wrote that all by yourself? Amazing. Good job. I love my daddy.

Honey, you was writing. She literally just wrote nigger in huge letters. I love my daddy. I got a short one for you, Brian. It's for everybody, but I figured Brian would like this one. It says, I don't want to sound like conspiracy theories, But it's not like conspiracy theorist, but the whole thing about us living in a simulation, whoever picked me as their video game character need to step it the fuck up.

All right, I got no money. Got no career. My nose is stuffy. The weather sucks. Put him some fucking cheat codes, man. God damn. I think Jackie sent me that one. Oh, man.

Help a nigga out. Damn. Right? All right. These next two are quick, but you better not fucking laugh. Come on, swing on them! Come on, Big Loolew! Yeah, that's a...

Oh, look, you know, you know, somebody get up! Let him get up half a pint! Swing on! That's your head! Let's make! Let's get up! Get up, big Loo!

Get up! You need some help, get up, you, he got up. All right, come on. Somebody get the swinging. You all like your kicking nuggins out there. Get the swing! Don't run! Run!

Don't run! He can't get you anyway. Don't run, though. Come on, man. Y'all got, hey, y'all are playing a night. Oh, no. Hey, get up, Big Loo.

Go! Whop him! Wap him, big Loo! What? Have fun, man. Never smile it. All right. Now, this one,

you better not fucking laugh. You better not laugh. Don't tell me what to do. Oh. Oh. Oh, girl. Oh, no. Brian, no. We're all going to hell. We're all going to hell. Start your computer. No, that, you know what that is? That's my phone listening to Y-chromes and listening to Alpha. That's what that is. That's what that is. That is pure alpha right there. He knew it was coming. That's why he ducked out, man. Absolutely.

This dude, it says, uh, I don't even know what that's. T.S. stands for, but you only witness. Oh, the things. The shit. The shit. I don't know any of that stuff. I'm an old man at heart. I know. The things you witness, or the things you only witness at 3 a.m. Hickory, dickory, Doc, some horny chick.

What's up? My God. Oh. What fuck is a drum? No, it's just on the boardwalk playing music. I don't know what's wrong with that guy. It's probably on some drum. All right, all right. Before we get into rants, I got one more if you want. Jackie says tell your phone to refresh the algo.

All right, we'll do this one and then I'll close out with one before we get into, I don't even know if we have rants, but go ahead. Probably not. I can't take this guy anywhere. Dave, what are you looking at? Reese's new slogan. And what does it say? It's a good one. It's a great slogan. I'll let it play one more time so people can see it and I'll pause it. Reese's new slogan. And what is it say?

It's a good one. That's on Reese's, man. The best hiding place is in your mouth. I mean, it's the Reese's eggs, man. You got to hide the East. What the fuck was Reese's thinking? Nasty ass. They got us talking about it.

Bro, you ever notice, like, I fucking love Reese's, man. That is, like, Reese's are my favorite candy by far. You ever notice that, like, the hot. Holiday Reese's are infinitely better than the peanut butter cuffs. Yeah. Yeah. Like the Christmas trees. Yes.

Yeah. Like way better. And why is that? No, man. Oh, I know why. Because I bet you, I bet you's because like on Easter and stuff like that, Reese's candies are everywhere. So kids get them that don't normally get candy.

So then they get them at that time. They're like, I love Reese's. So then they want them throughout the year. So then they'll go back and get the other ones. There's only two things I can think of. One is it's either fresher because it's a holiday release. And so they're made, you know, so they're like the orange package could be out there forever. Maybe.

But I think the real reason, I think it's the ratio of peanut butter to chocolate. I think that's what it is because the, the shape is like almost predominantly peanut butter with, you know, the outside of chocolate. And so you get like a better ratio. I don't know. I can't figure it out. That makes sense. That makes sense. Because the cups are, the cups have more chocolate for sure. They're like just a little bit of peanut butter in the middle. Well, all right. This will be the last one.

Then we'll get out of here. Let the girls come on. But this is just one of those things. I played a video similar to this a while ago, but this is the opposite of this video right here. This is what you hope for as a man. He fucking did it. He fucking did it. he's looking around like he's like who saw that who saw that come on i know you all motherfuckers saw that somebody give me a fucking high five high five bro high fucking five do you remember the one i played a while back like way maybe maybe a year ago where the guy

was like literally taking them out of the bag when his wife put him in he was taking out of tag and then handing him to her again and she was looking at him and going no and putting him away and he'd take another one out of the bag give it to her and she'd go no and put it away remember that video yeah yeah you know what's up man all right guys well thank you all much for tuning in stay tuned you got alphas make sandwiches coming up here very shortly and uh of course you know after the gandolph video we got to play the the tiny bright soft disclosure ad to let us out of here because that's froto is i love that great ad yes it is all right gentlemen thank you guys as much so much as always uh alpha had uh his internet went down as well so
