Did you find yourself in situations where you were outnumbered ever?
Oh, wow.
Make me think about this.
So it's Saddam Hussein's hometown.
All right.
It's a metropolitan city.
A lot of bad guys tried to hide in with the good guys in Iraq.
Iraqi police bring back someone they captured who was like very powerful.
The entire army that was into crit saying, if you don't render us your prisoner,
we're coming to the palace and we're going to kill all of you. And that was the scariest hour of my
life. All right. Part two with Bobby, we've gotten a lot closer. So this one will be fun, man. I'm
pumped. How you doing? Good. I'm good, brother. Thanks for having me back. What's up? Absolutely,
man. So how are you liking it in Vegas? You've been here like a year now right yeah um i was here before during covid which a lot of people escaped california because i lived up in
the bay area and it was real shut down so a lot you know a lot of people from california came out
here to kind of get away and get a little bit more of that good old american freedom but um
it was dead here it looked like the zombie apocalypse out here as well so i was here but i
really wasn't because it was closed this time around i'm enjoying it i'm starting to feel
like i'm i'm home or where i belong for the first time in over 20 years you know i've moved a ton
haven't really lived in jersey since like 2004 so yeah it's been uh it's been a pretty long road
but i love Vegas.
I tell everybody Vegas is if you want to be a creator in any type of space,
even Hollywood's coming out here,
I believe the North part of Vegas,
this is where you gotta be.
It's cool to see you say that.
Cause a lot of veterans struggle to find,
like you said,
the second home once they get back.
And you know,
I see so many of my friends just bouncing around,
living in basements,
cars or whatever,
but it's cool to see you found a home man yeah yeah it took uh i laugh and i say like the first the first almost 40 years was a hell of a ride and it was tough because the next 40
to 60 or 80 or 100 are going to be absolutely ridiculous uh and uh actually your guess i was
talking to one of the guys yesterday he said said he fully believes that with technology now,
we can live till we're 150.
Wow.
And I looked at him, and he was, you know,
you could tell somebody's just like saying some shit.
He really believes that with the food and the knowledge we have,
we can live till we're 150 years old.
Wouldn't surprise me because there's people hitting 80 to 100 these days
without the technology, and now they got all this ai stuff they'll be able to detect health
issues super early that's always been an issue it's funny though you see the guy the old guy
who smokes two packs of marble reds and eats a ton of bacon and drinks nothing but black coffee
and he lives till he's you know 99 years old no issue and the guy who's like going to the gym
every day has a stroke at
38 you just never know genetics yeah it brings up the question is if because like some people
think you have a date already set in stone of when you're gonna die you know what i mean
do you believe that dude the more i look into numerology and astrology it's kind of scary
yeah i don't know if i'm fully into it but i don't know what do you think i think i'm if that's true then whoever's trying
to take my life he's he's sweating because i've been getting away i've had i'm at like at least
my 15th life right now especially after iraq yeah you've had a couple in your death you're
talking to my house about one of them about being blown up by a mine right yeah yeah yeah uh well
that you know back in in iraq when I was there in 2007, especially before that,
IEDs were huge, improvised explosive devices.
I always said it was a coward's way out.
They don't want to stand and fight us.
So we're just going to blow the Americans up from a cell phone at 500 meters away
in the safety of our building or wherever they are so ieds were i think one of
the most casualty producing um ways that americans lives were taken in the whole in the entire iraq
war so that was their biggest weapon yeah i didn't know that i thought it was gunfire mainly
no small arms fire is you know it is drastic but um i mean you're talking in ramadi in like fallujah and some of
the invasions uh of like the cities in the initial push the gunfire was a lot more but once they got
they got they got smart i mean some of these ids were so improvised like so we we have different
ways that we're going to clear building like if we know somebody's in a building if we have a vip
or like a bomb maker somebody and we already have intel or we have a snitch and we're going to clear building like if we know somebody's in a building if we have a vip or like a bomb maker somebody and we already have intel or we have a snitch and we're
going to go hit a house it got to the point where like we first of all night vision and all anybody
knows if you use night vision your depth perception is off you got to train so many hours and it just
sucks i didn't know that oh try yeah Try to clear a building in real time with
night vision. It sucks. So if they got to the point where guys would literally break a house
and we say go loud. When you go loud, it means we're not trying to sneak anymore.
We don't care about the enemy hearing gunfire. We don't care about white.

Rules and restrictions may apply.
So we're just going loud.
They would go in a house, breach the front door, and the IEDs were now made slash social hour rules and restrictions may apply light so we're just going loud they would
go in a house breach the front door and the ieds were now made where as soon as a light or a
flashlight hit it it would blow up wow so crazy and how big was the radius i don't know i think
just any type of light we used a lot of uh you know the surefire brand which is pretty powerful
yeah on our on our m4s and a lot of
our equipment over there so yeah you go to clear a house at night thinking you're just gonna go take
you know somebody and you know ask them some questions or whatever the case is you're worried
about gunfire maybe somebody with an ak and you walk in you kick the door in you go look up the
stairwell and there's a bomb and you hit the sensor and it blows the whole house and you have no time
to react right no you're dead you don't, right? No, you're dead. Wow.
Yeah, you don't know.
You're just... That's scary.
Did you find yourself in situations
where you were outnumbered ever?
No, no.
We were pretty lucky.
There was one night where...
Oh, wow.
You make me think about this.
So I lived in a birthday palace in Tikrit.
So outside of...
Cobb Spiker in northern iraq was so takrit
is saddam hussein's hometown okay all right it's a much metropolitan city probably the size of
inner vegas like the strip and maybe to like just before like spring valley so they all
supported him there at the time we were there you kind of knew who did and who didn't um because of
there's a lot of poverty so you know like his supporters lived in like some some really dope
houses and then they also had like yellow markers like some of the streets like the curbs were
yellow and um so what i'm trying to say is i lived in a city that was pretty corrupt because of Saddam.
And we lived in a little palace with the Iraqi army.
So the Iraqi army at one point came back to the little palace that we were at and said that they had acquired a high value target that they believe believe was in charge of an al-Qaeda cell.
But he was also a general or a colonel or somebody in either the Iraqi army or the Iraqi police.
I think it was the Iraqi army.
So he was a bad guy.
Basically, a lot of bad guys tried to hide in with the good guys in Iraq.
Because there was no like
hey that guy's wearing that uniform this is a world war one so the only time i think we would
have been outnumbered is we were literally in the palace and the uh iraqi police bring back
uh someone they captured who was like very powerful and they got a call from literally the entire army that was into crit saying if you
don't render us your prisoner we're coming to the palace and we're going to kill all of you wow
so they tell i and i'm a private like they don't tell me much you know i found out more after but
they're like hey wake up it was like two in the morning get to the trucks they said like do not
let anybody in this compound but they're
coming and that was the scariest hour of my life just literally like there's walls that are maybe
10 feet 20 feet at the most brick you're in the middle of the city of takrit 6 000 miles away from
jersey you know 20 years old and you're told that 300 Iraqi soldiers are coming to take back their prisoner
who's a part of Al Qaeda and they want him back oh my and there's like 15 of us did anyone pull
up they never came oh thank god thank you I would have been man but I was uh that was one of the
most I've had some pretty scary nights like actually getting hit by an ID and certain things
but that hour of just sitting there it's like it's like waiting for the bully to just beat you up and he never he never comes that's terrible yeah that's fine did you reach
a certain point where you kind of accepted death was pretty possible yeah have you heard that
before i've heard of people come to peace with it but i don't know how to relate i've never that
was a perfect yeah that's a perfect way to put it you're always scared anybody who says that they were not scared
on a deployment to you know overseas is full of shit yeah like you're scared i mean i'm scared
to get kicked in the balls like of course i'm scared to get shot you know but you do come to
this point where like i don't know if you're just you accept death or you just you you forget about home and
that is just your reality now like i was there 15 months you know like after 10 months on a
deployment going on patrol every single day and like that like i don't i don't say i deployed to
iraq i say i live there that was home right there was no if i thought about home or jersey or
you know going back to germany or like the end of the deployment i don't know how i would have
drove myself nuts it's like guys in jail you know they say like if you count day to day you're going
to drive yourself crazy yeah so i did in a way accept death by just being able to perform because
if you if you do not accept the fact that you could literally have your torso blown off by a can of pepsi while doing a dismounted patrol you're never
going to be able to operate at your full capacity you're never going to be able to walk down a
street every single window every kid playing soccer every freaking goat cow car is going to
just make you want to throw up and you're not gonna be able to move so yeah
you're walking around not knowing who to trust so were you even engaging with the locals at all
all the time oh you are yep yep all the time we did a lot with the iraqi police um and we basically
had a map like a huge map and we had pins like that like thumbtacks and the the color of the
thumbtack basically told how they felt about american forces
so if it was red it was like they kicked us off their property you know they it was bad our
interpreter was like no they were probably saddam loyalists or they could have been a part of a
al-qaeda cell at the time whatever the case is they did not want americans there then we would
go to other houses if it was like blue they, they invited us in. We drank chai. We sat down and had great conversations with them.
So, yeah, we basically tried to knock on every single door from Codicea all the way through the city of Tikrit.
Wow.
Obviously, it's impossible to do that because there's a lot of high rises.
But anytime you got, and some of you guys that have been overseas
can attest to this uh it sounds crazy and morbid but i remember times being on a dismounted patrol
where there was a lot of buildings around us like let's say saddam boulevard in the center it's like
the biggest we called it the gut like because if you go through there you're basically going to
get in a fight and we would um i personally would always have
candy and it wasn't just to give candy out it's because like i always believe the sniper is not
gonna shoot through children to kill me wow so i would always get a bunch of kids around me and
take a knee and hand out candy smart so that i had sniper cover with with with kids yeah kids
are off limits for snipers right kids and i hope so they I hope so. They were at least when I was there.
That's what I was saying, the movies at least, but yeah.
But then that same guy who doesn't want to shoot a kid
will blow up himself in a marketplace.
Right.
Yeah.
Were there suicide bombers there?
Oh, yeah.
We had vehicle-borne IEDs, which is a VBID.
I have a funny story about that.
A lot of people don't get to see the things that I saw,
but I was also living it for the first time as a kid,
even though I was like an army soldier,
like I was a child, you know?
Yeah, you were like 20s, right?
I was 20.
So I remember we got,
we were working with the Iraqi army once
and in the middle of the city was like a depression,
kind of like the size of a soccer field.
And we got intel that there was a car there
that could possibly be weighed down or be like a depression kind of like the size of a soccer field and we got intel that there was a car there that could possibly be weighed down or be like a bomb so we went with eod guys explosive
ordinance guys and some of the iraqi army guys and sure as hell it was like a regular car but
it was like you could tell it was weighted down but so um long story short it ended up being a
bomb so the eod guys and i'm 350 meters away in an up armored m11 51 humvee
yeah inside with like headphones on like looking out this four inch thick window and these guys
the eod guys you crazy bastards they come out in like space suits and walk almost right up to this
car wow with a huge like you ever like you know the pool skimmer well yeah yeah they
look like that but it had at the end they had a like a blasting cap and they put it in the car
and then they what does the cop do they blew the car in place they did they did a three minute
countdown and blew it up but they got that close to that thing dude you couldn't pay me enough
and i've been blown up but i didn't like walk up to the bomb and go hey let's blow it like yeah yeah some those eod techs are nuts man they got balls so is it true when you see a grenade
that someone throws you're supposed to jump on it if there's people around you um i guess that's up
to the person there's a lot of people in this world that i'd kick it towards um but that's a
decision that very few have had to make and only fewer heroes have made,
you know?
So I don't know.
Um, I do know that like there was different tactics when I was there.
They had a lot, a lot of the issues that we had were crowds and then a hearts and minds.
So when you're, when I first got there, I was there under, under Bush and then middle
of the deployment um obama won
and then when obama won obviously presidents when they come in they want to do make change so he
decided that american forces would now allow vehicles to to pass them and ride with them
so that we could seem a little more equal well he's not the one worrying about the car blowing up
or you know somebody you stop because somebody's crossing the street and then a a car comes from the side and
takes your whole squad out right so um when people people have asked me like and i brought up earlier
about like how our politicians are so separate i am one of the few people and my battle buddies
that have been directly affected like my my direct daily life was affected by the decision of a sitting president.
Because I was a gunner in the turret in Iraq who used to be able to keep cars 100 meters away and try to keep some type of safety boundary.
And because of the president's decision, they could now pass me within three to five meters.
Wow, that's scary. I used to do this and my soldiers would say like why do you do that and i would just
say so when i'm back home in my casket at least my face is still there for my mother geez because
when those bombs go off a car bomb you're you're done yeah damn what a decision and now the current
administration how do you feel about that with Biden?
You know, I, I, a lot of people would think, cause I'm like this tattooed up white guy that I like sell like Trump hats out of my trunk.
But I just went to college in San Francisco when I walked away from the department of defense and got tired of like, you know, just training all the time and dealing with the DOD.
I went to barber school and
then I went to cosmetology school at Paul Mitchell in the Bay area. Um, my wife, um, and her, you
know, came from a really strong liberal family. I have a lot of, you know, gay friends and some
trans friends. I love everybody, but I get put in the bubble because of how I look. People just,
they just assume I'm like kicking down doors and, know throwing bibles at people um what i will say is i've never i've never voted and and the reason i've never personally voted is
because i was a soldier i was a sergeant and i had a job and like i tell you you're my friend
if you're my friend i'm loyal to you forever that's it so i was loyal to whoever the sitting
president was and my my chain of command.
So I felt like if I had voted, I'd have a bias.
So I just wanted to do my job to the best of my ability
at all times with no bias.
So I've never really voted.
I was in San Francisco when it was announced
that President Biden won.
I was actually filming a commercial for film school
right up by the famous houses
that are called the Painted Ladies.
We had to, after two hours of filming and about 40 people on set, we had to break down and go home.
I've never seen in my life so many young white girls dance around with champagne and scream and people beep horns. Like it was crazy.
Wow.
The entire city of San Francisco erupted.
I was literally in the heart of the city when they announced Biden won.
I've never met a Biden supporter.
I'm telling you, when Biden won, San Francisco was probably like Portugal at the World Cup won or something.
It was nuts.
Wow. was it looked probably like portugal of the world cup one or so it was nuts wow little like little
little white girls who probably never had to deal with anything crazy in their life
they're in san francisco going to college at a park on a blanket like come on they're running
around dancing as if like it was the greatest thing that happened to the world and and i love
that they felt i want people to be happy. But this administration has proved,
and it has nothing against who the person is
or the administration.
But this is, like, is this real life?
Like, as far as I'm concerned, this is our time.
And we're supposed to be the most educated,
you know, group of people because of technology than any other
time in the world right yeah but we are the dumbest group of people i've ever seen it's crazy
yeah and one of the things you say is uh people kind of forgot how to connect with each other
right yes do you think that's because of social media you know my wife's 10 years younger than me than i am um and super hot uh so you know i didn't grow
up with social media you know we had i think myspace myspace was a thing after high school
but i you know i didn't grow up with social media like we had like i still had a nokia phone and i played snake on it yeah and you know
and i had a beeper what's up uh it's a little you know it's probably a quarter of this
no no it's a little pager okay so like if your mom wants to get a hold of you
your pager has a number and she'll page you like whatever your code is like my dad always did 9-1-1 because
he was a cop and that meant like call me okay you know and then i'd go to a pay phone and i'd call
him oh so you couldn't even talk on it you know okay it just vibrated on your pants interesting
yeah a lot of yeah a lot of guys used it to like sell weed back in the day but uh communication
when i grew up was what we're doing right now like this is a lost art you know um talking to people and for some reason
i don't see it getting any better and i'm guilty of it like i'll be home sometimes on the couch
and i have my beautiful wife my daughter right there and my daughter's on her ipad and my wife's
on her phone and i'm on my phone and it's depressing man i don't know it's addicting
dude it's tough and i try not to go on my phone
when i'm like physically talking with people but it's super hard sometimes because our lives are
so like all over the place you know what do you think what do you think is next um did you i did
just hear that elon musk has successfully rendered the first neural link yeah first human got it i'm
not gonna get it yet though do you know about that a little more is it is it more to like connect you
to your phone and it's like a bluetooth in your head basically yes you have access to i believe
the internet in your head so if you want to google something in your head you could just do it without
a phone wow yeah i think he said the first few thousand will probably be people that have
disabilities or paralyzed yeah apparently it can cure that which is nuts
because it fixes the missing thing with in within the brain that's crazy yeah so i mean i'm excited
for it we'll see what happens it's a little scary though i'm not gonna lie yesterday i was driving
home from the wind um and i was just looking at the buildings and i follow las vegas of like 1950
you know on on instagram i get to like, look at Vegas and, you know,
in a way different view than we'll ever see it. And I was looking around and I was just thinking
like, what is Vegas going to look like in 500 years? Could you imagine flying cars? Probably.
I mean, that's it. Even if we're here in 500 years with all this world war three talk going on,
right? Yeah. I think that at the, at the biggest level of leadership, meaning presidencies,
those men have never really lived a hard life.
So I don't think if it comes down to nuclear war,
if they know that if they press the button, they die too,
I think they'd be too scared to push it.
Yeah, I think everyone's scared to be that first one, right?
After what we did in World War II.
No, I think they're all pussies
and like they'd be scared to actually go to war.
I don't think, like, do you think,
well, maybe Trump would press the button
knowing he's gonna die.
Like, oh, if I press this,
they're gonna bomb me in five minutes.
But I, you know, just most of the people
that get into like that high leadership,
the president have never had to be on a roof
getting shot at or like been
homeless or watch their mom do drugs or like whatever the case is they've lived a pretty
successful life of hardships but not like threats right so they probably compromise with the other
president before they press the button it's also super hard to know who our actual enemies are
because i don't trust the media and they painted china as an enemy they painted north korea russia and you really don't know my brother you would know because
you were physically there but yeah but were they even the enemy or were they freedom fighters right
i look back now like amir al-bazi is a friend is a friend of mine he's about to fight for the belt
in the ufc he's from baghdad wow when i was there he was a kid damn he was in probably middle school
and now i'm i'm
giving this guy a hug at the ufc apex why did i go to iraq because of 9-11 you know painted some
hate into my heart because my dad and almost passed away like i was the perfect incubator
for hate and i look back now at 18 years later and i think why look at the country like who is
the enemy my older brother's in china right now my nephew is half chinese his mother is not american
born she is from china like so i support chinese people through and through that's my blood nephew
it's my first nephew china's supposed to be an enemy but my brother's there having a blast right now right and he said it's beautiful the people are intelligent
and articulate and he loves it chinese people are hard workers man i don't know who the i think
we're the enemy i think every person individually is the enemy facts i think it's on a human level
right yeah i mean who even knows about north korea i mean maybe they're chill dudes over there i don't know never know that movie maybe we should uh that was a good movie
that was a good movie that was funny um any tattoos you regret i did yeah yes if i can give
some advice to you youngins um obviously i'm real tatted up i would say that if i could take most of my face tattoos off um i would
because there's been tattoos are weird being in the content creator space it's been pretty positive
but coming from like the dod police and certain things has been pretty negative um i would tell
anybody like under 40 years old that doesn't have like a job and a pension and, you know, a successful business, do not tattoo your hands, your neck or your face because you're going to get judged.
You know, I'm very good at opening my mouth, smiling and letting people know who I am based on like what's on the inside and not on the outside.
And I surprise a lot of people.
I get people like they want to cross the street sometimes.
And then I'm like, hi.
They're like, oh, you're like not a murderer.
I know I look like I just got out of prison. So I would say the street sometimes. And then I'm like, hi. And they're like, oh, you're like not a murderer. I know I look like I just got out of prison.
So I would say the face tattoos.
And if I can give any advice to you young men and women out there,
do not tattoo your significant other's name on your body.
So almost 18 years ago, I was on my way to Iraq.
And I was married to somebody I had just met.
I thought I was in love. Oh, you just met i we were together three months i got married wow yep because i didn't
think i was gonna come back from iraq and if i died she would have got like 400 000 cash okay
so i was just like might as well because then you i'm not coming home anyway why not like you get
money for it well i didn't expect to come back so uh but i got her name tattooed on my entire back
jesus um you want to see it i've seen it i'm gonna show the camera if you want i will yeah
fuck it right it's probably the biggest name i've ever seen tattoo wise i had her name across my
whole back and then i had to get it covered oh my gosh crazy and now it's a skyline right now it's
the new york skyline wow um did she do the same i don't think so i don't know um i hope so because
i know she's remarried with a with a you know a beautiful son now but uh she at the time she got

biggest things is the serenity prayer everybody knows that so anytime anybody that's in the sober
community or like, you know,
knows about addiction, they see the serenity prayer, they put it immediately with addiction,
right? I get out of the army, I'm home, I'm putting a trampoline together at my dad's house.
My brother's friend who I've never really met comes over and says, do you want to help?
And I said, yeah. He takes his shirt off and he has the serenity prayer from the top of his neck
down to the bottom of his neck down to the
bottom of his back.
And I'm like, oh man, how long you been sober?
And he goes, what are you talking about?
I said, what do you mean?
What am I talking about?
He had this three feet long serenity prayer on his back and he had no idea.
I said, bro, every time you take your shirt off, people think you're a recovering drug
addict.
Wow.
And he's lost it
you have no idea no so we're talking about tattoos do not get the serenity prayer uh until you do
your due diligence yeah that is rough bobby man where can people find you learn more about you
your vlogs and what you got going on uh so uh right now i just started a new podcast called
the life of war podcast um i wanted to do something for the veteran community and for mental health to give back because
we're losing up to 25 veterans a day to veteran suicide.
And so, yeah, you can tune into at Life of War on Instagram.
It's pretty much the same.
And then I'm doing a vlog every week.
So every week I'm finding a veteran who's pretty much where I was six years ago, doing
drugs, down, depressed,
