Starting point is 00:03:49 Back in the day, when you first started, is it something you were like, hey, I want to do this? Or what was a career you were looking into before going into this? I mean, I've been doing YouTube and shit forever. When I first started, I was doing doing like Mario

Starting point is 00:04:43 I'd freak out. I learned very quickly that that wasn't necessarily something I wanted to do all the time. Once I started really getting into it, I was like, all right, it's time to switch it up a little bit. But I still like the games and everything. I think I'm going to just do Call of Duty like everybody else. I don't know. I was telling them before you came in, I was watching your GTA RP because you do that. And then when you were a Navy veteran, bro, that had me dying.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Thank you. I was like, yes, thank you. First off, thank you for your service. Absolutely. You're an American hero. I just feel like I need the guy with the one leg. He's an aviator. He got fucked up.

Starting point is 00:11:08 Nice. Hola, Eli. Le estando gustado mi podcast? Sorry, Batty. I don't speak Japanese. Well, if you're up to date on Babbel, you know that means, are you liking my podcast? Wait, how did you learn how to speak Japanese, Batty? That's Spanish, Eli.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Agree to disagree. Best way to learn a language, Eli, is immersion. Living where the language is spoken natively every day. But, Batty, that's not possible for everyone. So what's the second best way to learn a language? Babble. Immersion on your phone. Babble.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Because with Babble, you can start speaking a new language in just three weeks. In three weeks, I barely speak English after 38 years of my life. Hey, Batty, did you know we peak as children? So when people call me a man-child, it's a compliment, right? Exactly. Scientists say when you're a child, that's your peak of learning languages. But since you can't go back to being a six-year-old, we've got the next best thing.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Babble on your phone. Babble is designed by real people for real conversations. Hey, Batty, but this summer you can start learning a new language with Babbel. Why Babbel?

Starting point is 00:28:40 about the controversial thing and i guess it's not too controversial, it's kind of funny. I like to do weird titles and thumbnails and shit. Yeah, you do. I like to make my thumbnails and titles just fucking absurd, just because I think that I want people to laugh at the thumbnail before they even watch the video. I uploaded a Gmod RP video, and it was around when the Joker movie came out and I was acting really stupid in the video and I was like, you know what would be really funny? If I got like a thumbnail of the Joker and just uploaded it as the Joker full movie HD 2017. And so that's what I made the thumbnail entirely.
Starting point is 00:29:21 I was like that's fucking hilarious and i got a strike for it oh and it wasn't like i don't know why i got a strike i mean i guess i know why but like i could tell you nothing in the video was was the movie at all yeah just the thumbnail and the title somebody reported you bro that means you made it when you start hitting fucking copyright strike after copyright strike after demonetization after age restriction, it's literally just people reporting you in metadata. Oh, I believe it, yeah. No, it is.
Starting point is 00:29:51 And that's why I try and tell people, like, I don't think I could, like, creators who have a huge following, they're like, everything's just falling apart. And I'm like, no. Shut the fuck up. Just keep doing it. I'm like, you hit a little bit of a wall, bro. The hard shit's already done. Just keep doing it. Make a little bit less money. little bit of a wall, bro. The hard shit's already done. Just keep doing it.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Make a little bit less money. Get a little bit less subs this month. Next month, you're going to be okay. Well, I feel like my fans love that kind of shit. My fans are fucking, I mean, they're crazy in a good way. Like, everybody I've met has been super cool, and I feel like they feed off of that kind of shit. Like, they just love when fuck shit happens.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Yeah, yeah, yeah. They love the story. That's a genius title. Because it's your platform. You have a huge platform. You see that pop up. It's like Joker movie HD. Finally.
Starting point is 00:30:35 He was in the Joker movie? Holy fuck. I also want to do one, and I've been waiting for the right time to do it. I'm going to do one of Elon Musk and put, put like the red emoji circle and do like bitcoin live stream but it looks like i got hacked or something so that's in my that's your next one yeah that's in the bank that's the plot right there i just i like doing stuff like that because i think it's fucking funny because people like people are like what the fuck is this you know they see a notification or something well that's what happened to me i was like what the fuck is this long ass
Starting point is 00:31:02 title and crack head eyes i I'll click on it. It worked. And there he is. Grant, what about you, man? There's been so many. There was one recently that was actually really, really funny and luckily everyone in the comments
Starting point is 00:31:19 had my back on it, which I was like, whew, thank God. But I was hanging out with my buddy Internet Aaron, and I was showing him some really fucking out there memes. And of course, he's a black guy, so I had to throw some racist memes in there.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Oh, of course. Fuck yeah. And as we were... One of the ones that came up was the new Mortal Kombat game, and one of the assists that you can use, like one of the characters, is a cop. Yeah, I know. That just beats someone with a baton. And I was like, man, that's wild. Like, everyone
Starting point is 00:31:52 got, like, all the writers in the room and I said it just like this. I was like, that's so crazy. Like, how all the writers got in the same room together and looked at the roster and was like, so half the roster is white and the other is colored and and he was and he starts busting up and i was just like what he goes like colored
Starting point is 00:32:12 is crazy i was i was thinking that as you said it but i didn't say it and i was and i was like i was sitting there and i was like wait what what happened and but uh luckily he was just like i think you mean people of color. And I'm like, there's no good way to say it. And he just started laughing. But luckily everyone in the comments. I never think about it. It's like, hey, what's the color board down the street?
Starting point is 00:32:35 Like, that's what I was called. Like, there's a Mexican in the white area. Like, oh, the little wiener guy down there. And I'm like, oh, they're meeting me. That's what I thought when you invited me. I'm like, I'm going on
Starting point is 00:32:48 the colored podcast. You're going on the colored podcast. You walk in and see, it's like, there's a lot of white people in there. I'm in the wrong room.

Starting point is 00:33:05 I love that. I've never heard that one before smell the rain coming yeah you ever smell the rain coming yeah I have and then just like me growing up on a farm but like in Northern California we grew almonds but the way that we set it up there was almonds
Starting point is 00:33:24 you grew almonds? that's fucking weird Nuts than I know what to do. Yeah, but like my family's families being grown on was Nico's like You said like you were offended. You were like, almonds? I'm like, bro, wait, what? I've never met anybody like that. But yeah, but no, we called, my grandpa called them almonds.
Starting point is 00:33:57 And I walked up to him one day because I was just like, Grandpa, why the fuck do you call them almonds? Like, I say almond joy. Like, what's going on? And he goes like, well, well you see when they're on the tree and they're growing they're almonds right i was like okay he's like but when we take the shaker to the tree and we drop the almonds off the tree the letter l drops too why almonds why i don't know okay all right just to make sure there's no fucking explanation for this. What is the shaker?
Starting point is 00:34:27 So the shaker is like a giant... Mexican. They walk out. Me and Eli. There's almonds. We're just like... One has really big forearms. One has a bucket
Starting point is 00:34:45 No but But no it's essentially like a little Cab covered tractor And it's got like two big prongs In the front and you drive up to the To the tree and it clamps onto the tree And it literally just vibrates the fuck Out of the tree
Starting point is 00:35:00 And just drops all the almonds onto the ground And then you take a sweeper Same deal another big vehicle But just has. And then you take a sweeper. Same deal. Another big vehicle, but just has like, it looks like a street sweeper. Just sweeps all the almonds into like a single line in the middle of the row. And then you pick it all up.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Is this like a family generation? Yeah. Is this still ongoing? Yeah. I was supposed to take it over and then... Was your family mad when you were like Dad, I'm doing YouTube. He's like, you're going to be a goddamn almond catcher. Get off that computer. You'll be an almond farmer.
Starting point is 00:35:30 It's checking. Like your father and your father before him. It was super funny because I'm allergic to almond dust. It's fucked. It was fucked at birth. It was never meant to be. And it was literally because as soon as I was born, my grandfather and my uncle both came in completely covered in almond dust and like all the shit that makes your skin itchy during harvest season.
Starting point is 00:35:52 They're like, let me see my nephew and my grandson. And they picked me up and the nurse, like according to what the story was, my mom told me, the nurse whipped around. It was like, what are you doing? He was just born. And so they were just like coating me in doing he was just born and so they were just like coating me in almond dust and I just went were you born on the almond farm? No. It sounded like you're like my grandpappy and my uncle walked in. That sounds like a superhero origin story. Like you would become one with the almonds. I would have never been able to do YouTube if it wasn't for my grandfather giving me the ability to puff up like a state puff marshmallow man if I come into contact with almond dust.

Starting point is 00:56:24 about our ways I'm like oh thank god i just said with that i'm retarded so that's what you did everybody gets a little with thought sometimes okay i freak i i hooked up a toro like a little uh which is like a little go-kart truck looking deal so i would use that go up and down the orchards to for ant bait, all that shit. It was literally- Wait, what? For what? Spreading ant bait for the almond trees. Cause like a lot of ants go up the trees, don't want that. Oh yeah, we would know this, obviously. No, excuse me.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Common almond knowledge. This is day one stuff, Eli. You guys are definitely gonna hear me pee on this microphone. I like how you your like, duh, so they don't go up the tree and eat the almonds. I didn't know that. Peeing ASMR. Climbing up there and bringing them back down.
Starting point is 00:57:17 I don't know what I was saying now. I want to know more about ant bait now. Spraying ant bait for almond tree now. Yeah, you would drive a go-kart. Oh, right. So, yeah, no, I drove the Toro once, and I hooked it up to a little trailer to the truck, and apparently I didn't hook the front hook on
Starting point is 00:57:36 because there's a little latch. A Toro? It's a type of go-kart slash truck looking thing. Imagine a golf cart without the top. Is it like a type of like go-kart slash truck looking thing imagine imagine a golf cart without like the top is it like a gator yeah oh okay
Starting point is 00:57:51 yeah gator got it gator but that is usually I hooked I hooked that up to the trailer me and super
Starting point is 00:57:58 me and super trying to look you're just throwing words at us you're like man the ant bait with the gooper you hooked the thing up to the toro with the ant bait I'm like you're just throwing words at us you're like man the ant bait with the gooper you hooked the thing up
Starting point is 00:58:06 to the toro with the ant bait I'm like you're naming Pokemon right now toro shoot man that's a four dollar word right there
Starting point is 00:58:13 shit I'm so confused my fucking southernisms are coming out but uh no but I I tried to hook that up and I was like
Starting point is 00:58:21 alright we're all good and then I just took off onto the main road and I watched cause I heard, and it wasn't hooked on all the way. So it, uh, it literally just popped off of the Toro.
Starting point is 00:58:34 And I just watched in the rear view mirror as I'm driving around a corner, the, the, it comes off the trailer, smacks the back of the trailer, hits the fucking back gate. And so it's just like drag, I'm dragging it along the highway, or along the freeway, fucking sparks flying everywhere,
Starting point is 00:58:50 and then the tour just goes, and I'm like, and I pulled over to the side of the road, and I had to like, run into the middle of the road of all this traffic, like, please don't hit me, I have to grab this! That's high quality ant bait in there. I can't go home.
Starting point is 00:59:07 I'm in traffic. Stop asking me what ant bait is. I'm farming almonds. Hold on. Oh, no. Get my Toro over here. Grant, your story is... If these trees die, I don't eat this winter, okay?
Starting point is 00:59:24 Yeah, you're... Now I'm winter, okay? God, yeah. Now I'm like, okay, this is Grinch childhood to his entire life. Dude, my shot was weird. Yeah, it's completely different. I also stole a Toro to drive into the small town when I was like 10 because I was really thirsty for a Mountain Dew. And then my uncle found me and he goes like, ha ha, you're fucked.

Starting point is 01:00:40 I did the same. My high school was 80 was the graduating class, I think. If I graduated, it would have been like 80. I don't know if mine was that small. It was like 85, 90 for me. Yeah. Yeah, 95. 95 for sure.
Starting point is 01:00:52 I don't know if mine was that small. Mine was like 500. Probably not much bigger. But that was all... Sounds like you're from the city. All Montgomery County, which is like 12,000 people. So, real shit. Right. Where'd you go? Yeah, what? Brentwood, California, but up in the city. All Montgomery County, which is like 12,000 people. So real shit. Right.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Where'd you go? Yeah, what? Brentwood, California, but up in the bay. So it's literally called Corn Town because it's literally just corn crops where everybody grows up. But my graduating class was like 500 fucking people. If something didn't go your way, would you look into your corn crop and go, oh, shucks. I didn't have a fucking corn crop, but that's just like with the outsides
Starting point is 01:01:27 of all that Brentwood was. So it's like, oh, welcome to fucking corn town. There's nothing to do there. So, yeah. Wendy's most important deal of the day has a fresh lineup. Pick any two breakfast items for $4. New four piece French toast sticks, bacon or sausage wrap,

Starting point is 01:14:26 and I'm like, my asshole and then I just roll on past it. TikTok is bad though. I feel like TikTok is way more strict on that kind of shit. TikTok is the worst. YouTube is way fine compared to TikTok. TikTok, you can't really. I'm surprised to get my accounts back from TikTok.
Starting point is 01:14:41 I've had a ton of community guidelines strikes. I don't know what they're called on TikTok. Fuck them. That's what they're called. Fuck you, TikTok. Eat a dick. They're called no-nos. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:51 Oopsie whoopsies. Oopsie whoopsies. Oh, my God. TikTok's the only one where it's like, especially gun content. Big no-no on the TikTok. I don't even fucking get it. It doesn't even make sense. That was the one thing that threw me for a loop, like, after I left California, where I was, like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:15:08 Maybe it was just because I grew up on a farm, but it was really weird to, like, show up to different places and be like, what do you mean you've never shot a gun before? What do you mean you don't know how to clean it and, like, take care of it and, like, how to respect it? What are you talking about? None of you shot a gun before? And I was like, what is going on? But that was, like, one of the things for me where i was like what is happening if firearms is a weird thing because like all everyone here owns one or two firearms and it is but i will say my military experience and then after i didn't have the weapons no i my weapons zero yeah I had my platform
Starting point is 01:15:45 but not to now I have every fucking weapon platform so I'm like well this is how this works this suppressor is an old fucking shit
Starting point is 01:15:52 where like back in the day it was like M14 or the EBR and an M4 that was the only weapons and then the M2 and the Mark 19
Starting point is 01:16:00 the grenade I love that thing I love that thing it's so fun the full auto grenade launcher the Mark 19 yeah you were the only. I love that thing. I love that thing. It's so fun. No, the full auto grenade launcher. The Mark 19? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:08 You are the only person I know that loves that thing. I fucking hate that weapon. You cannot tell me. It's the biggest piece of donkey shit I've ever used in my entire life. You can't tell me you were sitting on top of that truck and going...
Starting point is 01:16:17 Have you ever set it up, shot it, then dismantled it? Yeah. No, fuck you. You're a liar. There's no way. Everybody hates the Mark 19. So, soup, a Mark 19 is a full auto grenade launcher. It sounds cool to me. It, fuck you. You're a liar. There's no way. Everybody hates the Mark 19. So, soup, a Mark 19 is a full
Starting point is 01:16:26 auto grenade launcher. It sounds cool to me. It doesn't work! It doesn't ever fucking work! It takes fucking forever to set up, forever to take down and use it. But it's a fully auto grenade launcher. Yeah, but you're never able to use it when you want to use it. They only let you use it at ranges and you're like,
Starting point is 01:16:41 I fucking want to just blow everything up with this thing. I mean, they're cool though. They're like, I fucking want to just blow everything up with this thing. I mean, books are cool though. They're cool. Yes. Shout out to Storrs. Storrs, this is my buddy out there.
Starting point is 01:16:53 We were over in Iraq. They were pulling up. This is the one time it malfunctioned. Mark 19. Oh, the one time it malfunctioned? Well, this is the bad.
Starting point is 01:16:59 Are you sure about that? This was the bad malfunction. Okay. I was going to say, there's bad ones. Legally, the only one. When you pull into, when you're like rolling streets,
Starting point is 01:17:09 you have to pull into your FOB or COBS. They were pulling into a FOB, which is like a forward observation base, full military, blah, blah, blah. And it was a big one. Pull in, you have to go in lines. Then you're like, oh, okay. They check the front driver and everyone goes in.
Starting point is 01:17:24 You're in a safe U.S. military bases military base stores was clear like everyone cleared the weapons they put the mark 19 on the strikers you put them upright you have all the weapon systems pointed upright stores cleared it put it and then uh he was like okay we're good and then they drop it like you're supposed to uh racket or leave one out, or I forget how the clearing procedures work. No. Weapon malfunction. He goes like, thump. The second it touched that thing, boom.
Starting point is 01:17:53 I fucking turned into a murder. Stores listening? I didn't do that. Like stores instantly got down. We're like, uh-oh, we don't know where that went. It shot straight up in the air? It shot somewhere in the back. It's just you're just like huh you're just waiting for that one little you're all just like this just friend the distance hear the little pop so bad
Starting point is 01:18:25 oh it might I wonder if they took it to the other one no no fuck it I'm getting food later it's fine
Starting point is 01:18:33 no it's fine I got you I'm gonna buy you food I'm a thingy we're about to wrap guys just so you know I'm gonna take care of you oh okay
Starting point is 01:18:39 also like you could have picked like a studio closer to the front office cause like dude not even the Iron Dome could hit that distance. Good lord, it was a walk. Anyway.
Starting point is 01:18:51 Fuck, dude. Fuck. Fuck. But yeah, that was a Mark 19 round that just soared off in a bad way. Dude, you're telling me no officer. Because I already fucking know any officer downrange is a fucking little bitch. He would have been like, I'm writing you up! Because they want to get a fucking medal, so
Starting point is 01:19:07 fuck that guy. So everyone wanted to demote him and give him an article 15 until they had a weapon specialist come and look at him and be like, nah, the weapon actually malfunctioned. Like, full-on catastrophic malfunction where it launched that. That's a catastrophic failure. Yeah, it just launched that
Starting point is 01:19:23 bitch into space. Now, is that something that would blow up on impact yeah yeah it was hard that's always like they're definitely out there listening just make you when you shoot the the mark 19 all you really wait for is just a it's a grenade like this and then once it rotates like 20 something times it's just a grenade as a 15 meter primer so once it travels anything further than 12 to 15 meters then it can blow up so boom and then you just go and you just wait for the because that means it's exploded fucking however fucking far away so that guy was like get the fuck down or something no i was i was like well it's not gonna be so it didn't go like immediately like straight up it were like, well, it's not going to hit the base. So it didn't go immediately straight up.
Starting point is 01:20:05 It's angled at 45 and it's going out. Okay, I thought you meant it went straight up. Oh, no. Literally the way all weapon mounts are set up is they will not go at a total vertical angle because we're all retarded and we're all on weapon systems. So everything has this cant where it won't go straight up it'll go straight down it's like
Starting point is 01:20:27 someone else will die but you're still going to get in trouble after it's kind of how it works I was still laughing at your corn joke
Starting point is 01:20:33 you said earlier oh shucks nope I get it now when you have to take your on the long strip of road you have to drive
Starting point is 01:20:42 into the cob oh you son of a bitch. Fuck it. You're like, hehehe, got it. We had one, oh my god, I forgot about that. Thank you for core memories. We actually had an S- Some core memories?
Starting point is 01:20:55 We had, god damn it, Grant, I'm going to throw this fucking white claw at your head. He's like, just stop. We had an S-Core MPs to base. They had to go from like balad to a uh another base i forget where that's gay so it was just a quick yeah it was just a quick drive we were behind them and in front so it was like hey our two units we'll just protect and fucking roll in you guys in your humvees do that we pull in we clear our weapons go fucking a dumb person in the 50 cal like pulls up to clear the weapon and look he's the mp they probably don't leave bay so they're super nervous about this shit and look okay we got to clear the boom just straight into the dune not like up yet like
Starting point is 01:21:40 pointed next to the gate why when you're coming into the gate bro i'm like i'll tell all my retards i'll talk i'll be like drop the fucking system i'll be like just let go because it's gonna go like this and point upwards at an angle so you're safe if you're at a base you do not need to be pointing the weapon system fucking anywhere nowhere i'll be like drop it and they'll be like you're 30 drop it this one did not was just like, we were in the strike. It was like, okay, everyone just, bam! We were like, what the shit was that? And then they're like, well, that's not my company, so I'm good.
Starting point is 01:22:14 You guys have fun with that. That's a problem. That's way worse than the Mark 19 incident. Oh, yeah. I mean, but we had a lot of those. Did he get in trouble? He definitely got in trouble. I was a different unit.
Starting point is 01:22:24 We were escorted, so we didn't even care. We were like, well, that's not our unit. They can go fuck themselves. This is my new salute. How bad do you have to be? Officer Doofly reported to the police. Who, sir? Who, sir?
Starting point is 01:22:41 You're so bad at your job, you have to arrest yourself. That's fucking crazy. Oh, shit. That's hella true. Damn. Because there's a bunch of MPs. Yup. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:22:51 I mean, you've seen all the dumb shit that will happen. You can't avoid the dumb shit. It's actually, the problem is that you can't avoid it. Signing up, you're like, I know I might get super mega fucked on this, but we're just going to go in there and do it, get it done. I'm going to deal with some dumb people in the military. There it is. Think of how dumb people can be.
Starting point is 01:23:10 And then remove 10 of those IQ points. Why'd you go southern when you said that? Because I'm southern. Well, no, it makes sense. He's trying to explain it to me. Yeah, I was explaining it to you. I was speaking English to you. Now I get it.
Starting point is 01:23:23 Now I get it. You went to White's Soup and you were like, all right, so here's the skinny. You know, I feel like that because this is the thing. No, this is the thing. Everybody in the military is either from Texas. 90% of the military is you're either from Texas or you're from fucking California. So people from Texas are dumb. Or the South.
Starting point is 01:23:43 That's that other 10% fucking percent. But hey, this is the thing about Texas. Oh, I know guns. I've been hunting with my dad since I was seven years old. I know the bam! You're like, holy fuck, you're getting arrested, dude. You're going to jail. I was, drill sergeant's the first thing you say.
Starting point is 01:23:55 It's like, who's fucking Southern? They know how to shoot and everything. And then you see all the hands go. Yeah. It is the first thing. And drill sergege is like, fucking we got to un-teach you everything
Starting point is 01:24:07 and then re-teach you on how to fire a gun. Which was super fun because they were like, all right, show me how you shoot. And I shot good. And they were like,
Starting point is 01:24:16 all right, you don't have to relearn anything. What was that? You grew up on a farm? And I was like, my dad's a Marine. Also, almond farm,
Starting point is 01:24:23 but yeah, sir. Call me Bruce Wayne. I'm real good at Almond Farm. I don't come from that. And so whenever I was out there with Donut and Brandon and everybody, I was like, please don't fuck up. Do not do something stupid.
Starting point is 01:24:34 When I got invited out to the range, especially the first time, I'm like, please, God, do not do something stupid. I was like, I think that's the crackhead eyes guy. I think I've seen him. That's when the crackhead eyes came out. He's like, the 240 bar was like, pow. He's the crackhead eyes guy. I think I've seen him. That's when the crackhead eyes came out.

Starting point is 01:25:20 But we didn't get to it because most people have never fired a full-auto. Before the Army, I'd only fired a pistol one time because my dad took me to the range shot it he didn't clean it
