Starting point is 00:04:28 So is this what you guys were doing last night? You were coming up with this? We tried to do a haunted video, and we went to Donkey Lady Bridge or something. It was supposed to be scary. You went there? Yeah. Okay, so the story is Wendigoon explained for us. She lives on the fifth street.
Starting point is 00:04:47 She can't stop eating donkey Never been to donkey bridge All my homies know donkey bridge The story The story is that like sometime in the 1800s There was some, you know, mamacita From San Antonio And she had a donkey And one way or another she got in an altercation with the town
Starting point is 00:05:02 And the town killed the donkey So she threw herself off of the bridge Okay okay this is the funniest thing isaiah's saying this as if it's like a creepy thing she fused with the donkey in the afterlife and now if you go out there you can hear the donkey braying if you turn off the car for 60 seconds you hear in the middle of the night so this is this is like this is like texas his Texas Hispanic version of Catherine the Great. Yes. This is the worst cryptid ever. Just a donkey lady comes out and oars at you.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Think about the boobs. Yeah, it's not Wendigo. It's like Donkey Cooch. Yeah, you have like a Wendigo. You have all these terrifying creatures. Is it like a centaur? Where it's like top half is Mexican chick and bottom half is donkey? I was asking Wendigo about it. I was like, don't you think that it's kind of not that scary that it's like a centaur or it's like top half is mexican i was asking
Starting point is 00:05:45 when you went about it i was like don't you think that like it's kind of not that scary that it's like a donkey of all animals and he's like well it's more like the amalgamation of it together and i'm just thinking like so it's like the donkey have like a girl or like a donkey pussy juicy donkey so it evolved into us sitting in our car the front half is a donkey. The front legs, the back is her Mexican booty. Exactly. One of them big old women in San Antonio. That's Charles Barker. Or it's the opposite, where it's just the rear half is the donkey and the front is just a Mexican lady.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Either way, that's some big old lips on both. So we're in the car just trying to make it funny. And then I start getting into some monologue where I'm just speaking. There's this youtuber in my space that got exposed recently named mama max and he would try to get people's attention by being like joe rogan you need to talk about the youtube pick aside joe rogan pick aside joe rogan this dude literally called out like charlie called out a whole bunch of people and yes yeah okay he he raised money on a patreon and a bunch of other shit for
Starting point is 00:06:47 hunting like he was like we're crushing this these are real life stories all this stuff and that's why you raised money to stop everyone can get behind all fucking fake it came out basically these are actually stories i just made them up he was uh he his his plot was he would mix real stories with like a hotline miami so he would be real stories with Hotline Miami. So he would be like, I'm going to kill the hotline Miami. And so he would always do this deep voice he would put on where he'd be like, Joe Rogan, you need to talk about me on your podcast. Moist critical. And so I started just going into the voice and I was like, Brendan Herrera's donkey dick needs to acknowledge donkey lady bridge.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Donut operator will be operating the donkey late into the night with the AK guy. I thought you were fucking around with like, I thought you were doing a Joey Diaz at first. Like, all right, listen here, Joe Rogan, Joe Rogan, I'm going to need you to just talk to you out from behind from the front,
Starting point is 00:07:41 from the back. I had the donkey's monkey out. No, but we, we were, we were just trying to like make ourselves laugh. ourselves laugh because we literally didn't see fucking anything. We got there to the bridge. Oh, he brought you to the bridge.
Starting point is 00:07:50 He brought us to the bridge. I thought he was just telling the story. No. No, no, it's a real... I've never heard of this in my life. I haven't either. Donkey P***y Bridge is a real thing. All right.
Starting point is 00:07:59 There is Donkey P***y there. Wendigoon brought you there? Wendigoon brought us there. He made us go there at gunpoint. This is going to become a new Mecca for unsubscribe viewers. They're just gonna take selfies at donkey bridge That's why one of my go exactly okay He asked me for a shotgun loaded with salt so that explains it you should be really good at yard work. Because of the half donkey part, right? I like the couple of seconds in here.
Starting point is 00:08:32 I guess. She just loads up the back. She comes after you with fucking chonkless, just hitting you with them. Donkey chonkless.

Starting point is 00:10:11 What in Tard Nation? What in Tard Nation? We can get way more autistic. Have you guys heard of Skibbity Toilet? Oh, yeah. You've heard of it? My son, my 14-year-old watches the shit out of that. He seems cool. Wait, he actively watches? He doesn't.
Starting point is 00:10:26 What? Actively watches it? He showed me what Skibbity Toilet was. The way you said it, it was like Netflix for him. No, no, he doesn't sit there and actively watch this. Part days work and just pull up Skibbity Toilet? Does he know about Baby Gronk? Oh, no, I've seen him, though.
Starting point is 00:10:42 You've seen Baby Gronk? Yeah, yeah, on Instagram. Baby Gronk messaged me yeah, on, like, Instagram. Baby Gronk messaged me on Instagram asking me to retweet his tweet the other day. I don't know if he even knew who I was. He was like, hey, Tom, can you retweet this thing? And I was like, you fucking know me, Baby Gronk? He's the most famous nine-year-old of all time. Do you know Baby Gronk, Brandon?
Starting point is 00:10:59 Is it, like, the Gronkowski, like, his son? It's not really his son. It's sort of like a spiritual successor. He's like a nine-year-old who plays football. I've heard the name Baby Gronkowski, like his son? It's not really his son. It's sort of like a spiritual successor. He's like a nine-year-old who plays football. I've heard the name Baby Gronk a shitload. I've never seen the memes. Okay, now that you're back, important conversation. So Baby Gronk is a nine-year-old who plays football,
Starting point is 00:11:16 and he rizzed up a cheerleader from LSU named Livvy Dunn. Now, Livvy's a very pretty 20-year-old cheerleader or something. Wait, a nine-year-old? He's nine years old, and they say that Baby Gronk rizzed up Libby Dunn. Man, I'm glad those ages aren't reversed, but anyway. People won't have a problem with that. He rizzed her up, but there's also
Starting point is 00:11:32 someone called the Drip King who's the king of drip. He's another young man who's been trying to rizz up Libby Dunn. Some people will say that Drip King stole Baby Gronk's rizz. They're both going after the same cheerleader. They're both going after the same prettyleader. They're both going over the same pretty cheerleader. They're both like 9
Starting point is 00:11:47 years old. I think Drip King is like 12, so he's got kind of an edge. They do like those older guys. Tom definitely is 21. I was going to say he's in between the age groups. I'm so confused right now about all of this. We're going to bring it back. A 12-year-old
Starting point is 00:12:03 just being called Drip King? That dude's getting p***ed when he hits high school. Have you heard of the state of Ohio? If you're familiar with Ohio? Yeah, I know the state. I am aware of Ohio. So Ohio is where you go to get Riz. Riz is charisma.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Riz. And that's how you get a girl. We have Riz as something else here in this podcast. Riz-m with a tism. So I know you guys are all struggling to get women, obviously. I'm suggesting that you fly into Ohio, you get some charisma, and then you talk to Baby Gronk about
Starting point is 00:12:31 how to Riz up, live, be done, and that will transfer into the rest of your life. So what's sad is I never knew that's where Riz came from, too. You said it just now. Charisma. I never played that together. You're not the only one. Please tell me I'm not the only fucking person. I'm with you. Our audience right now is like, what are these young whippersnappers talking about?
Starting point is 00:12:48 They're being educated. I'm right on the border of Gen Z. I get some of the humor, but I'm not part of you. You're not one of us. I'm not one of you. I can kind of pretend. I'm not associated with Gen Z. I'm not associated with Gen Z.
Starting point is 00:13:05 With Zoomers? Jesus. Right now, Brandon, you have an amazing thing happening in the Twitter sphere. Oh, my cancellation. Did you pick the worst topic? Oh, my God. Yeah. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:18 I'm now being canceled because, you know, I always joked months ago that I can't wait to run for office because I'm going to find out so much about myself that I didn't know. Now, apparently, I hate veterans and I want them to do a slide. Yeah. Didn't know that. Yeah. Because of a joke I didn't make, a joke I was joking about not making because I said it was too far. At a table full of veterans during a veteran sewer slide prevention conference I spoke at earlier that day, hours prior.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Huh. You definitely hate the veterans. Clearly. This is probably the most we'll get into politics on this podcast. But your opponent fucked up so hard on that post. And then doubling down, it's like, a person, a vile scum like this needs to burn in hell. And you're like, uh. Yeah, he said like this needs to burn in hell. And you're like, uh. Yeah, he said, I need to burn in hell.
Starting point is 00:14:07 People like me who make fun of veterans and shoot up churches. Like, hold on, what the fuck? No, it was funny when you made the joke. We had just come from the panel where we were talking about veteran and how to prevent it and then you had a purple heart veteran to your left and then you had me and nick to your right i'm at a table full
Starting point is 00:14:32 of veterans yeah like and the funny part is like one of the things we talked about a lot during that panel is like this like stuff like unsubscribed like stuff dark humor stuff like that is one of the last things like the military's failed veterans the va's felt veterans politicians have failed veterans the last thing they have to rely on is dark humor you want to take that from them fuck you you're the problem go on that one if everyone is laughing at the joke and you are the one it's oh god how they framed it in the community notes coming in just fucking oh fucking slapping him really hard. It's like, ah, this was actually taken out of context. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:09 You don't look good, bro. We better do 23 push-ups for whoever his social media manager is. Yeah, one extra. One extra push-up, dude. I feel like what Twitter is made for is just assertively saying something wrong so confidently and then just getting destroyed by the community notes.
Starting point is 00:15:23 People are amazing at it. It's kind of fun. That's why Twitter is like especially after elon took over it's become it's become one of my favorite social media platforms yeah because everybody's just like more retarded yeah pretty much they're confidently retarded which i love i just i love people walking into a room and saying something like demonstrably untrue yeah i think it's awesome yeah especially since the introduction of community notes oh my my God, Community Notes are awesome. Those are my favorite now. They are savage. Twitter is the bully food.
Starting point is 00:15:48 It's this place where I open the door, I'm like, what's Cody doing? Okay, he's calling that person a retard. That's cool. There's Brandon. He's also doing the same thing. I like it. Here we've got some gay porn.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Oh, there's just death videos. Yeah, it's mostly just like fucking snuff films. But you're just like the fucking old black lady meme. It's like, what's going on in here? Oh, loud. Everything's on fire. I get on once a week. I'm like, ah, time to check in on the Twitter.

Starting point is 00:18:12 he's a 10 out of 10 person he is oh yeah he's our boy that was my first time meeting him and like he couldn't be any nicer
Starting point is 00:18:19 because we originally said no when you guys mentioned coming down here we said no no we don't really like those fucking guys and I'm like oh Wendigoon's coming oh okay said, no, no, we don't really like those fucking guys. And, oh, Wendigo's coming.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Oh, okay. Yeah, sure. Those guys are gay as fuck. They can't come to my fucking range, bro. Verbatim. Verbatim. As you said. Actually, you texted me antibiotics as well.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Yeah, exactly. I have a separate keyboard for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You actually just sent me a voice memo. You deleted it after one second. You refused to type it out. No, going on to, well, well meeting windigo and all that stuff your i will get back to yours your content your editing skills but my favorite part is the stark contrast between each video you have hey here is the people in the underground in la
Starting point is 00:19:01 and then you're uh vegas and then on the then a month later you're like also here's some fucking harvard bros and your persona completely changes on how you interview these people like the homeless people in the tunnels and whatnot under uh las vegas and it's so serious he does like you do such a fantastic job of presenting yourself and when you're down there talking communicating with them and you're super respectful and then how is how are those when you're like hey i'm putting on this face of i'm gonna be respectful it's gonna be less memes i guess there's just certain topics like drug addiction or homelessness where i'll just approach it very like serious knowing i'm like doing a journalistic piece and then other things i'm like oh i'm gonna fuck around i'm gonna get drunk i'm
Starting point is 00:19:41 gonna you know meme so it's just like two different approaches to the videos. Because I think you can do both. Like you can meme on certain things without making the person the victim. Yeah, 100%. And I don't want to be pigeonholed with what I do, you know. I want to be able to do whatever I want, and I'm not just like a purely serious guy, so. And then it really comes across in your content. How long, like even doing something like the uh the vegas underground

And then I went and talked to them to just like establish a rapport of trust that I'm not trying to come and take advantage of them.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Made sure they were cool with me coming. And then I came back the next day and spent like six hours with them. And they were telling me all these crazy stories about the hauntings of the tunnels under Vegas so I went back at 3am and actually walked the entire distance from yeah from the links to the Rio it was fucking spooky
Starting point is 00:21:36 I wouldn't do that even if I knew it wasn't haunted did you hear like Cody this is all underground and what's more crazy is drainage tunnel, right? Yes. And what do they, when a flood or something happens or a rainstorm, people die. The homeless people will die six at a time because it just water rushes and drowns them.
Starting point is 00:21:57 And it's miles before you actually get popped out at a golf course. They call it taking the ride. Taking the ride. Jesus Christ. Is that where the ghosts come from, then? Like, the hauntings? Yeah, there's that. And they also say that...
Starting point is 00:22:09 And these ghosts keep asking to borrow my microwave. Or change. Give me money! They claim there's, like, people in suits that, like, haunt that area, like FBI, CIA people that work with the casinos. I mean, I don't know how much of it is, like, you know, just homeless persons' brain playing tricks on them and folklore and what's true.
Starting point is 00:22:28 The guy in the suit was trying to just tell you to leave the property. He was a real person. He's not a ghost. Well, it's crazy. The homeless people also, you have reasonable individuals that are like, do something with your life. I was like, homeboys just telling people, it's like, hey, if you're in this situation, like, don't don't like follow a dream but follow it don't don't become like this and
Starting point is 00:22:50 their biggest issue which surprised me was the id problem they just struggle getting an id all of them were like i just want a fucking job and i want to be able to get my identification i can't do that and that's what you were harping on on on the video. It was like, Hey, they can't even do this. So I actually followed up after I did that video with one of the nonprofits around there that helps them and was trying to like, see if I could help them get IDs. And it turns out that, uh, they make them pass a drug test to get IDs, at least that nonprofit. And they refuse to do that. So that was something that I learned, but yeah, there's like different subtexts of homeless people, obviously. But I felt like all those people that I talked to that day were like people that were just downtrodden in life and just wanted to be as free as possible. So like they had options to like go live with their family or they could go live in a homeless shelter.
Starting point is 00:23:35 But they don't want to be told when to wake up, when to go to bed. They want to have ultimate freedom. So they choose to sleep in a sewer under Vegas. Because one would think like in, you know, first world country like the United States, with all the programs we have, all the non-profits we have, homelessness is borderline a choice. Between friends, family,
Starting point is 00:23:52 government assistance, non-profit churches. Yeah, no, because if you don't know anything, that's a very controversial statement. But seriously, there are so many programs. There are so many people
Starting point is 00:24:01 that are out there trying to help. But a lot of people genuinely prefer, they choose that life. Mental health issues that stack. That's so many people that are out there trying to help. But a lot of people genuinely prefer they choose that life. Mental health issues that stack. That's why a majority are veterans. And it's just mental health stacked with that. And then you have this compounding problem.
Starting point is 00:24:16 And then that's just life. They're just homeless. Skid Row is a good example of that. Well, I've been there as well. But people that don't interact with the homeless or understand the problem are just so delusional. Just like on both sides. you know what I mean? But it's really telling. We were in Maine, and it was like fucking three degrees out. And I went to a homeless encampment up there, and there were some people passing out toiletry
Starting point is 00:24:34 bags. And they said that the entire homeless shelter is empty because no one wants to be told when they go to bed. Because if they go to bed, they don't let them get high. Yeah. They don't. Yeah. In Maine, the homeless problem is weird, though,
Starting point is 00:24:45 because where you normally film, you talk to homeless people, a lot of them are very willing to speak. In the Northeast, they don't want to fucking talk to you. They don't want to talk to cameras at all. Why do you think that is? I think they just don't want to be known.
Starting point is 00:24:56 They're, like, embarrassed about it. They don't see it as a good thing. They don't want to be seen. You know, they see it as, like, a momentary stint they want to be a part of. They don't want to be, like, quote-unquote embarrassed on camera, you know? I mean, there's something to that, I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Yeah, for sure. I mean, if I was homeless, I wouldn't want to be in a Brandon Buckingham video, no offense. And then you have others that are. Don't worry, they're not going to watch this. Yeah, yeah. Some people want to be, you know, have their story told and want to be heard. Giant computer they have in their tent. I don't blame you if you don't want to be in a video.
Starting point is 00:25:21 That's why I never walk up to homeless people like filming like, hey, can I interview you? I'm just like. No, you're super respectful for it. And then they're home, you know. And the Hawaii thing was fucking crazy. If you want to see in three years that gap for rent or average house cost. Very telling.
Starting point is 00:25:36 $770,000 to $1.3 million. $1.5 million. In three years. That's how much housing jumped. In median. Allahu. Oh my God. Yeah, Brandon and I were talking about this a little bit the other night.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Like, what's the white people word? Howly. Yeah. What does that mean? That's like the N word for white people. Yeah. Does it like have like a honky? Does it have like a meaning?
Starting point is 00:25:59 Cracker? I'm not sure. It's just a derogatory term. Howly? I want to start calling my friends Howly. You fucking Howly. Hey, what's up, Howly? Hey, what's up, bro?
Starting point is 00:26:05 My dad spent a good bit of time. Hard Y. We got to take it back. Me and my Howlies. We're taking it back. Let's go. Hard Y. Howly.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Bitch. Or E. I don't even know how to spell that. My dad, because of the military, spent a good bit of time growing up in Hawaii. He's like, they fucking hate white people there. My dad's not even like 100% white's just like dude that's like that's they they do not like americans so to speak yeah well those stories that you were doing it was crazy if you watch that it is this there is an encampment where the homeless live or the you
Starting point is 00:26:39 don't call them homeless you call them houseless they call themselves houseless i don't really do like the speech policing if you get really upset that I say homeless like I apologize But I'm gonna keep saying in my life. I didn't tell that video isn't it the same fucking thing home They're just being picky like show us extra respect by saying exactly what we want you to say actually resent that it's not a waffle house It's a waffle home We beat the shit It's house this year, it's my wife. It's houseless this year, but in two years it's going to be some other fucking thing.
Starting point is 00:27:09 It's crazy because you had these individuals. You had that one girl that was houseless for however long, went through high school, just didn't tell anyone. You have these stories of overcoming, and she's like, yeah, I'm houseless. And the rules to live in these little areas like you can't steal they have rules and like hey just follow these and you can stay here as long as possible and all of them are like yeah they're super respectful no one steals from us everyone gets along like okay they have something going in the right direction and a majority are is they
Starting point is 00:27:39 have full-time jobs like 50 of them work full-time they just can't afford fucking housing they're like yo how much is like a condo they're fucking unbelievable and if you look up the hoa prices uh bro dude that's making me shit myself shit cody guess how much hoa brandon and cody guess how much hoa is in hawaii hoa you know your monthly yeah just just like monthly how high do you think they can get well it depends on the community that you're living in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Hawaii isn't. Okay. Is this a gated community? We'll say a nice gated community. Per month or per year? Per month.
Starting point is 00:28:16 500 bucks. Yeah, I'll go with him. $2,000. Jesus Christ. 24 grand. Just for HRA? Fuck you, Baltimore.
Starting point is 00:28:25 And very commonly just for a condo that is not nice with no perks, $700, $800 a month. How do they justify it? I look nice in Hawaii. Holy shit. Sorry. I think with the weather, a lot of the property is damaged. I'll suck something else myself. I'm going to do push-ups for you, bro.
Starting point is 00:28:41 How do they justify it? I believe I was told, if I remember correctly, with like the weather and the aging of the building, there's like a lot of upkeep they have to do or some fucking bullshit. But for 24 grand a year per tenant, tear it down. Yeah. Build another one. It's,
Starting point is 00:28:54 it's really, uh, absurd. That's why. So how do you survive out there? If you, you know, are an uneducated person that doesn't have a high paying job.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Yeah. Like if you're working in the service industry, like, you know, you're a waiter or like a bartender. You Yeah, like if you're working in the service industry, you're a waiter or a bartender or something like that. You're not getting... You're fucked. Fucking 24... You're spending two grand of your money. You're like, okay,
Starting point is 00:29:11 HOA's paid this month. Wish I could get rent. Damn, glad I finally... Thank God I finally paid off my house with fire. Say you get a 400 square foot condo, costs $1,800 a month with a $700 HOA. You're screwed. So everyone's... A lot of Native Hawaiians are leaving the area.
Starting point is 00:29:27 Do you guys know what the Native American Micronesian racial beef that's going on? It's good too. In the late 50s, America dropped like 57 nuclear bombs on Micronesia for testing purposes. What's it called? The Bikini Atoll, Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob SquarePants. There we go.
Starting point is 00:29:43 I think we talked about this on the podcast before. The amount of nukes that have been dropped just in testing. There's only been two nukes dropped ever in warfare. How many nukes do you think have been dropped total? Definitely hundreds. 1,200? It's like thousands. Really?
Starting point is 00:29:59 I want to say it's over 2,000. I would have guessed like 40 before I researched the shit. Yeah, we dropped so many fucking nukes just out of testing. Between us, the Soviet Union, you know, whatever. Russia was big. Russia, like with the Tsar, it was 100 megaton bomb, and they were like, meh, half it. And they dropped it like, hmm.
Starting point is 00:30:14 I'm sure the fish had a really good time with that. Oh, yeah. They dropped this on land. The Tsar is one of the most insane bombs. They dropped it on land? Yeah, they did an air detonation on land. Do you know where? 2056.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Nuclear weapon testing since 1945. Way more than I think. And for reference, you have, was it 1,000 kilotons to equal a megaton or is it 100?
Starting point is 00:30:34 I think it's 1,000. So what just happens to all the land that's used for it? A lot of it was underwater. Underwater? I mean, the fish down there I imagine are not enjoying
Starting point is 00:30:40 that too much. That's where Spongebob goes. Go zero. Exactly. Go zero. Go zero. No, no, no, no. I'm a Goozy. It's a Goozy ride. They're not enjoying that too much
Starting point is 00:30:53 One of the bits that never made Why I went to Japan if I talked to the Japanese people in my regular voice They wouldn't know what the fuck I was saying, but if I was like, oh, sushi fishu, I feel like they would get it more. Oh, 100%. Did you experience that? I was like, arigato, Kazamis. I am a hero. Like, you have to do it. Right? Yeah. Oh, it's weird even talking in Japanese because you're like, arigato, like you have a higher cadence of speaking. I'm like, why do I do that
Starting point is 00:31:18 automatically when I, whatever. All that goddamn anime. And I got some ass. Speaking of which, I need to watch the new solo leveling. Dude, the new solo's good. It goes hard. So everybody in this table watches anime except for me? I'm not a big anime guy.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Fucking Eli gets me and Brandon into it. I get good ones. Did you just fucking anime face on that, you fucking queer? You're gonna start doing this. A rainbow flies over my head. So kawaii. The more you know, gay. I've watched like three actual animes I've enjoyed.
Starting point is 00:31:54 I never really got into anime, but he fucking, like two of them are because of Eli. There's like a few I like, but the voice acting always throws me off. Like I feel like in like American animation, they can can have a, hey, how's it going? And anime is like, hello, how's it going? It always has to be a super exaggerated. It's very cartoony. It's a fucking cartoon, I get that. It's very exaggerated. I like Death Note. That's a really good one.
Starting point is 00:32:16 If you haven't watched Death Note and you want strategery on brain fucking and one of the most base dudes you'll ever meet, I'll just fucking kill everyone that disagrees. We're just going to kill them. I'm going to write your name in this book. You probably like...
Starting point is 00:32:29 Well, sir, I did watch the Netflix adaptation. Oh, I am so sorry. Oh, yes, the Hawaiians hate Micronesians because the American government is giving Micronesians free housing and free health care and just benefits. So there's a huge... Largely agree. They were giving...
Starting point is 00:32:44 How much property did they get or housing and stuff i don't know all the i can't remember at this point but i know that they the hawaiians call the micronesians cockroaches and like hate them yo right you don't hear that on the fucking so based that's that's fucking wild they were yeah that's some hate right there i think it's really interesting when like like, strange racial groups, like, have racism. Because you usually just hear about, like, the white versus black guy, so Micronesian versus Hawaiians. And they hate the island boys. That was cracking.
Starting point is 00:33:13 All right, boys, new racism just dropped. Check it out, you guys. Call that new racism patch, make sure you download it tonight. Get the Micronesian DLC. Update your racism. We can hate who now? What? At the click of a button? This is Joe.
Starting point is 00:33:33 The age of technology, I swear. Yeah, the new derogatory terms. Unlocked. Howley? Howley DLC? And cockroaches are apparently derogatory towards Micronesians. I call people cockroaches, but they're not Micronesian. There's a lot of people that they're YouTubers.
Starting point is 00:33:49 I didn't know what the fuck a Micronesia was. I thought you were talking about Turks. Where's Macronesia? I thought you were talking about Mexicans. Turks? Yeah, Turks. That's actually, that is legitimate. Yeah, I was going to say, that would make sense.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Fuck them. Turks, Romanians. Glass Istanbul. Never mind. What's one of the racist you can say to Bulgarians? Yeah, I was gonna say you that would make sense fuck them Turks Romanians glass Istanbul never right What's on the races you can say to Bulgarians? I? Don't know just insult them for being fucking stupid call them fucking looking in bread. Yeah, Bulgaria Bulgaria is one of the only countries that ever built the AK properly, so much respect for that. Shout out to Arsenal. You guys are doing it.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Yeah, we love our Bulgarian audience. All right. I feel fucking drunk from this. We're going to talk about guns. I do want to compliment your level of... You have a team that works for you. Yeah, get that dick. But you're doing like...
Starting point is 00:34:42 I'm having a stroke. One-hour to four-hour hour videos and they are well edited both y'all's fucking videos he's a machine great how long does one video take when you do your research on a just a random individual so if you see a video that's coming out it's probably been in the work for three four weeks probably um at minimum um one video see a video that's come out, it's probably been in the work for three, four weeks, probably at minimum. One video we just finished that's going out soon is about Randy Stare. He was a mass murderer who he believed that...
Starting point is 00:35:12 Okay, context. You guys know Danny Phantom? It's about to get crazy. So there's a character in Danny Phantom. The guy who was made by the dude who liked feet? Bush Hartman. No, no, that's Dan Schneider. Dan Schneider. Where all my bitches at? I need all my bitches at the end of all bitches.
Starting point is 00:35:27 You see, you put on his whack. All right. Okay. But anyway, so he was a... To anybody who doesn't get that reference, that was really weird. He was a YouTuber named Randy Stare. He had a small channel with 10,000 subs. He was actually acknowledged by a lot of big people.
Starting point is 00:35:40 He sent Markiplier fan mail and Markiplier acknowledged it. He made an appearance in a Ray William Johnson video. he was acknowledged by fred commented on his video so he had like some attention um but anyway he uh old school yeah old school um he's been he was around for a long time but uh due to mental health issues uh he not only was a transgender which was nothing wrong with that but also uh he delusionally believed that uh the afterlife was comprised of ember's ghost squad so ember is a villain from dandy phantom that sings a song called remember he would listen to that on repeat and he believed that in the afterlife if he killed people he would then become a part of ember's ghost squad and so uh he like fantasized the columbine shooters and everything else you told me i would have never guessed he
Starting point is 00:36:23 was delusional. No, no. I mean, that's the most reasonable thing he believes, to be honest with you.

Starting point is 00:37:24 Shit. Not to make light of the shooting but i believe as i've been researching there was one girl who was in the store who made it out because she had her headphones in she didn't know what was going on so she was just like chilling over here and he was like and she's just like what just happened anyway um was this buffalo no that was only like a year this is this is in pennsy was like 2017, 18, something like that. We just finished a video about this, so we wrote it. We finished writing it.
Starting point is 00:37:50 It probably took two months to write back in. I want to say you've never heard of this. It's like you've probably heard if you look up like the Danny Phantom killer. There's videos like a lot, like 13 million views on YouTube about it, but they're not as in-depth as what I'm doing. But we finished writing it back in November. It's like 27 000 words it's like 80 pages or something and we just finished editing it uh like the other day while i was here and we gotta do now we have to do revisions on it and my editor has been working on is working on a fucking chromebook so i gotta buy
Starting point is 00:38:17 him a new computer for the next one but um that's a particularly long one that one is like a two hour long video for an hour one um if it's just about like a random low cow that could take as short as like a month or something like that. Um, but usually it's like short as a month. Dude, a low cow is the best shirt. You,
Starting point is 00:38:33 you better have a shirt. He's one of the milk. You don't know. Low cow. I've never heard that before. Oh, that's like the wings of redemptions. The wings of redemption,
Starting point is 00:38:40 DSP boogie. These are like the super mainstream ones though. I, Randy stare at someone I see As like a school shooter Lol cow basically What the fuck is a lol cow? Same A lol cow
Starting point is 00:38:49 A lol cow is somebody Who just gets like Laughed at a lot on the internet They call them a cow Cause you milk them for laughs So it's like So it's like So it's like
Starting point is 00:38:57 The people that are there Are like lol cow Yes So it's like Hey Cody you hate When I make fun of your hat I'm gonna poke you And make fun of your hat And milk gonna poke you and make fun of your hat
Starting point is 00:39:05 and milk you for the content they're the people that basically make their living off of being hated I mean a lot of them don't make a living they're just hated but they're addicted to the internet and they have no self awareness boogie boogie's a big one Chris Chan is like the most infamous one of all time
Starting point is 00:39:20 I would say the goat? did you just call him the fucking goat? the zur is the goat i would say the goat did you just call him the fucking goat the goat is the goat the zir is the goat okay dude the level you deep dive on these individuals it is insane because i'm trying to yours is like very consumable so i'm like taking notes yesterday and today and then yours i'm like i was showering i was like just put this on while i take my shower and listen to you talk okay Okay, what the fuck just happened? Fast forward a little bit. That's the
Starting point is 00:39:47 experience I have a lot of listeners, and that's how I watch a lot of YouTube, too. I watch it. I'm listening to it while I'm doing something else. In the shower, working out, something like that. Masturbating, listening to Wendigan. Today we're going to talk about the conspiracy theory. And then you hit... I'm at the tip of my iceberg.
Starting point is 00:40:03 I am at the tip of my iceberg. But yeah, I've just been, I've been like a super internet person. Like I've been like terminally online, I would say since I was like, I don't know, 13 or something. So I'm just like, so into it. And I actually like, like these stories and care about them. And it shows cause you're doing like, if you guys haven't watched some of his big content, you see a three, nine months ago, you have a video that is three hours long four hours long it's also the chris christian christian it's also 10 million views in nine months you're like
Starting point is 00:40:35 and the level of dedication and how much information and how you do the videos it's fucking ridiculous i appreciate that i think it's my most popular video christian is uh anytime i do a christian video like it will blow my views out of the water to the point where you guys know how you have like the ranking system of like views. If I get a one out of 10 on a Chris video, I just disregard it as like, that's a freebie because, uh, it's just like people fucking love that story so much. And Chris is really the inception of low cow culture. Um, he's like the reason why so many people are followed the way they are so many trends and websites were created because of that like kiwi farms was created because
Starting point is 00:41:10 of chris chan and all these websites that follow lolcows sort of obsessively i would say um exists because of chris and then there's all these other people like boogie dsp wings they get brought into the fold as like youtube lolcows um and there's like a whole universe of them cyrax is one of them there's like a whole there's a whole Cyrax is one of them. There's like a whole, there's a whole cinematic universe in my head. Some people have Marvel with Iron Man. I have like internet retarded people who I watch. It's so crazy.
Starting point is 00:41:32 The generation gap. Cause like there's probably people watching this podcast that are in their, you know, thirties, forties, fifties who have no fucking clue who 90% of these people are. You probably, but also to be fair,
Starting point is 00:41:41 a lot of people my age don't know who they are. I am super autistic with this. That's fair. So you've come to the right place. Thank you. I appreciate that. Well, you have three. You guys have.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Everyone automatically near the finger. You have gun autism. He has cop autism. I just have autism. Autism. Yeah. Yeah. Talk about how you built out your like team and how you leveled up your business.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Yeah. So a few years ago I, uh, was putting out videos semi consistently, but it was like, it would probably take me like three weeks to a month to get a video done. And that just wasn't enough, um, to compete. And so I started hiring people. So, uh, at this point I have like eight contractors who work for me. Uh, one of them over here, Lucas is filming. Uh, he does my new channel, Tom IRL. Uh, this is why we're here. And then, uh, I have a second channel, Tom Dark Or Tom After Dark, where I do
Starting point is 00:42:27 Tommy Darko Luke, get on camera No relation to my race Luke! I'm only allowed if he tells me Here, take my seat Just say hi real quick I gotta take a fat piss
Starting point is 00:42:42 Do you need help? We'll help you This guy's been filming and editing all the IRL stuff Just say hi real quick. I gotta take a fat piss. Yeah, take that fat. Do you need help? So this guy is... We'll help you. I like that shirt. This guy's been filming and editing all the IRL stuff, which is a new thing. But my second channel is more of topical stuff. So every day, I think like moist critical. Something's going on.
Starting point is 00:42:55 I'm going to talk about it in the YouTube sphere. Could you try to look more uncomfortable here? No, dude. How often are you in front of the camera, bro? Not often. I mean, sometimes Tom will put me in when he says he doesn't pay me at all on videos and stuff. And then I can sneak myself in and everyone will comment like, can you please play the camera guy? Can you actually pay him?
Starting point is 00:43:10 I won't fucking pay him. I actually don't get paid. It's not fucking happening. We'll film videos and he'll make every time we meet a new character or meet a person that we film, it's adamant that he mentions the first thing is I actually don't pay him. He just like, he pays me to film. I'm a blessing in disguise to be filming with. He buys me dinner.
Starting point is 00:43:26 He pays for my plane tickets. Like a gentleman. Like a gentleman. He'd be babbing on that. He'd be babbing on your shit. He'd be babbing forever. Brandon, he might be the only guest to have you be in hair. He has that.
Starting point is 00:43:37 Yeah, it is. You got those waves. You got the wave going on. Yeah, yeah. I'm white too. You have yacht club hair. You're white, really? I'm white.
Starting point is 00:43:43 For real. For real. You're so not BTA, bro. Oh, I appreciate that. on yeah yeah i'm white you have yacht club hair you're white really you're so not beat here bro oh i appreciate it so not so not beats here is oh man that's the new name so not beats here brandon you're ass here dude i like you more than my son you know that i like your name too your first name is pretty cool yeah no everyone named brendan this is the new uh yeah no no brendan's can fuck off yeah brendan's no piece of shit here cockroaches but i think what's cool about tom like emerging into the irl scene is it's really good because the video essays i feel like have a certain like ceiling and limit that you can hit where you can only go like so many videos and talking points
Starting point is 00:44:17 you can like do about people emerging into the irl scene like give some a total new level of creators to meet and like people to talk about and it just takes the journalism content to like a whole nother level because like what brandon does like what i do is like i have a sort of insecurity or gayness about it because it's like i'm sitting behind a camera judging people from afar if you're doing in-person irl content meeting someone you're going to have a different impression of them whoever they are and so in my mind combining the traditional sleep go to sleep go to sleep go to sleep he's getting turned on in my mind, combining the traditional... Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep. He's getting turned on. In my mind, if you combine the traditional research with the in real life stuff,
Starting point is 00:44:49 I think that could make a really cool kind of content. Like what people like iDubbbz have done. Like what he used to do. I was just going to say iDubbbz. Oh, yeah, the content cops? Yeah, back when iDubbbz was funny. I mean, content cop, the Airsoft Fatty video is a really good example.
Starting point is 00:45:02 I know the Sam Hyde video, he has some beef with Sam, but I still think that both videos work in tandem really well and that was like some of my favorite piece of content that came out whatever that year was 2021 22 um so i really like that kind of stuff like some my real goal is like combine what brandon does with what i do which is why you guys met destiny the other day he came out here yeah um i filmed with him for a week recently we'll be dropping a week-long, we got like 100 hours of footage documentary about him pretty soon.
Starting point is 00:45:28 So that should be good. What are you going to talk about in that documentary? What's your goal when you meet up with people like this? What do you go in there with the intent of doing? So the goal is sort of twofold. It's like, what is the public perception? And what is the private perception? So with Destiny,
Starting point is 00:45:43 somebody who's been streamed like fucking 10 hours of his life every single day since he was i don't know 19 years old 20 years old um the goal you know he's 35 okay he was some people don't know this he was like i think the first time first full-time live streamer um i didn't know um he goes way back to the beginning um he was also the first he did the first irl live stream way back in the day he would uh call himself on skype on his phone on live stream and drive in the day he would uh call himself on Skype on his phone on live stream and drive in his GTI to McDonald's to get food in the middle of the night and nobody else is doing that um and you couldn't even do that on Twitch back in the day so I think he would get banned because Twitch used to have archaic rules like you can't do IRL streaming
Starting point is 00:46:16 it has to be fucking gamer shit but I find Destiny super interesting he's super fascinating to me he's like a liberal but he's edgy you know he is progressive yet he He's super fascinating to me. He's like a liberal, but he's edgy. You know, he is progressive, yet he says slurs, which to the average person is like, how does that fucking compute? But in my mind, it makes perfect sense. And I've been watching him
Starting point is 00:46:32 for a long time. And he's also reaching kind of a new apex on YouTube and stuff. He just debated Alex Jones. He debated Alex Jones and Ben Shapiro in the same week
Starting point is 00:46:40 that I was filming with him. And now he just debated Jordan Peterson. He's debating Norman Finkelstein very soon. Oh, I want to watch that Jordan Peterson debate. That would be really fun. Really good.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Yeah. Really good. Cause like, obviously I disagree with his politics almost like vehemently, but I, the thing that I can say about him is that he seems at least honest. I think he is honest. He's not like one of those like fucking virtue signaling,
Starting point is 00:46:58 you know, Fox. He's right. And honest. And the, the, the interesting thing about a right, right.
Starting point is 00:47:04 And honesty, you say he's my son's honest. The interesting thing about... Right and honest, do you say? He's my son's honest. The interesting thing about the virtue signal which you're talking about, which to me the biggest one is Hasan Piker would come up in my mind. Hasan Piker! Hasan Piker, I'm coming to kill you!
Starting point is 00:47:15 He came from Destiny's... No, in real life! I'm going to wear your clothes and makeup! So he came from Destiny's community. So Destiny was streaming for 10 years before hasan started streaming and hasan was just like a little guy destiny's community he was streaming sometimes and then he blew up and then they had various debates and disagreements eventually i think once destiny realized he was a full-on like tanky communist like revolutionary rather
Starting point is 00:47:40 than like a somewhat reasonable democratic socialist um and then they have like a big split off and the same applies to horse cock guy bosh horse cock holy con bosh who also is from destiny's community blew up not really bro tell them about it okay yeah let's do a pause cold turkey might be great on a sandwich but sometimes it's not the easiest thing when you're breaking bad habits we're not talking about some weird crazy mind voodoo from your neighbors. Use your own sarcastic example. We're talking about our sponsor today, Foom. And they look at the problem in a different way. Not everything in a bad habit is wrong. Award-nominated device that does just that. So instead of drastic, uncomfortable change, why not just remove the bad from your habit? Right, Henry? Help me. You're going nowhere, Henry. Instead of

This shit is the horse cock okay so so vosh is a communist youtuber that came from destiny's community he has anybody want another drink while we're going into this to be honest i i kind of hate us too sometimes but you know so he has like 500 000 subs on youtube
Starting point is 00:49:23 but uh the other day he was streaming and he accidentally opened up a folder that said taxes on it and in the taxes folder was illustrations of little girls getting oh how'd that go not well not that well yeah not why did what do you think how that i don't he practically doubled down not practically he did he was like look i thought they were a short stack goblin type thing. First of all, not a little girl. And secondly, I just want to be the horse. And he walked himself through like if he was the therapist, if he was going to a therapist to talk about the horse thing.
Starting point is 00:49:56 Is he fucking here? He doesn't want to be a human with a horse cock. What is that sound? You heard that, right? There was definitely a sound. There was random sounds. Dude, when I was setting up? There was definitely a thud. There was random sounds. Dude, when I was setting up these cameras, sorry to interrupt, there was fucking random sounds.
Starting point is 00:50:10 I heard walking upstairs. I went upstairs to my gun. I was like, no one's here. What the fuck is walking upstairs? Is the outside right there, or is there a room? There's outside. That's the outside. You heard that, though, right there?
Starting point is 00:50:24 It sounded like somebody's wrestling in the walls. It's CNN. CNN can't hurt you, Cody. It's okay. As I put my gun back on before I sit down. CNN just shit on me, speaking of CNN. Really? What's CNN do, dude?
Starting point is 00:50:40 They had me in one of their videos about Kensington, Philadelphia and said that i exploit people for clicks what'd you do there and i did the exact i did the exact same thing they did i went to kensington philadelphia and documented the drug addiction and trank epidemic that's going on the fucking irony of anyone from turner broadcast group saying you exploit people for clicks like what is my ulterior motive what am i doing what's the spin I'm putting on it that's unjust or unfair? What they did was just what you do, but like less funny, less entertaining.
Starting point is 00:51:10 Like there was no like good edge to it. There's a shitty. And then they were like, and by the way, you do what I do, but without retention. The main criticism I saw was like, you really filmed someone shooting up heroin? And I'm like, yeah, he asked me to multiple times and I filmed it and it's in the video. You can see me saying, I'm not comfortable really with you doing that and he's like no i want you to well also it's like what you're showing is the actual horrors of the epidemic and how these people are ingesting in my mind it's like yeah i want to show you the
Starting point is 00:51:33 reality of when you shoot up this drug it's not cool it's not to be glamorized it's like really horrific the way your fucking psyche shatters and but whatever it just shows you how i'm a colonizer it just shows you how challenged and intimidated they are by the internet because like really what you're doing is their job
Starting point is 00:51:49 at open source yeah like you don't you don't need a fucking you don't need a network deal you don't need any big funding you don't need anything you just need a fucking camera
Starting point is 00:51:57 yeah it's me and my old wrestling teammate Jabari with a fucking GoPro yeah they're terrified of that that's what I yeah exactly the same thing
Starting point is 00:52:04 with my fucking content man I was gonna say yours is perfect to a team I've been doing the same thing. That's what I, yeah, exactly. This, that same thing with my fucking content, man, I've been doing the same thing that he's doing. I'm showing the same shit that the news is showing. And they don't treat you like a news group though. No, you're a racist piece of shit. Even though you have the most non-biased breakdown of police footage,
Starting point is 00:52:20 you can see cause acorn cop, you weren't like, well, he had PTSD. Fuck anyone that says that. Homeboy probably never seen a gunfight in his life. If an acorn fucking hits a roof of a car, none of my friends will do two combat roles. He said in the interview, he's like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:52:38 I've never been shot. I don't know what it feels like. When I was a cop and working on SWAT and narcotics and doing all these things I've had an acorn hit the roof of my car before but no I'm a colonizer I'm a piece of shit
Starting point is 00:52:57 because of the content that I'm making that you guys have been making for the past 60 years it's like why are you and weaponizing it they get so mad that we're just doing it fucking better. Yeah, give us some tips. Where are you going wrong
Starting point is 00:53:11 with your interpretation of police footage? How are you being unethical or bad about it? Yeah, exactly. They probably couldn't tell you. Yeah, same thing. Well, I think it's just like... I thought this was a joke for a while, but when I went to journalism school,
Starting point is 00:53:23 I realized that these kids are... Oh, you're the enemy. I am the enemy. Well, I dropped while, but when I went to journalism school, I realized that these kids are- Oh, you're the enemy. I am the enemy. Well, I dropped out, so I'm back on the side, but I was a traitor for a little bit. But these are very envious, jealous people who hate YouTubers. They hate new media,
Starting point is 00:53:36 and they cling on to old media as like a means of just, I don't know, tradition, even though it fucking sucks. And that's what you saw with, I don't know if you guys remember years ago, PewDiePie got in controversy for making some jokes and the Wall Street Journal
Starting point is 00:53:47 wrote a whole hit piece about him. This also happened with Sam Hyde with Adult Swim, Joe Bernstein. The perfect, how I always compare this is, they villainized Mr. Beast. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:59 How the fuck can you villainize the one dude that just seems like a good dude? And it's not like you have to love Mr. Beast's content. No. He literally, I don't know if you guys know this, he owns a fucking giant, multiple giant warehouses in the south where he gives away turkeys on Thanksgiving. He gives away food to people.
Starting point is 00:54:17 And he said openly that his plan before he dies is to give away every dollar he ever makes. They get mad. Mr. beast cures a thousand blind people and they're like the fucking satan man himself as an apology tour he has decided to re-blind a thousand african men what they say is because he's making money off of it he's exploiting them right which is fucking ridiculous because if that is your mindset, what have you done for any community, period, in your life? Well, I changed my profile pic one time. Especially mainstream news, though.
Starting point is 00:54:54 They're like, this just in. YouTubers are exploiting people of lesser means for money. More at five after this commercial break. Of us doing the exact same thing. They do the same shit. Here to tell you about your local shootings and all the fentanyl epidemic. At 11pm we'll be filming a bunch of parents that got
Starting point is 00:55:13 their kids shot up and asking them how they feel one hour afterwards. It's literally that. That's where it's higher fucking career. I haven't seen a lot of YouTubers do that. After that, Mr. Beast is the devil. Also part of it for them is it's like a commie thing. So it's like, well, actually
Starting point is 00:55:30 Mr. Beast is bad because he's not fixing capitalism and instituting a Soviet government to save the West. And it's like, he's just a fucking guy. He's just a YouTuber. Even if you believe that that's the way to go, do you have any real expectation that Mr. Beast is going to do that? He's a fucking YouTuber. He's a 20, 24? Yeah, he's like the way to go do you have any real expectation that mr beast is going to do that he's a fucking youtuber he's a 2024 how old yeah he's like 25 yeah you have a kid that's
Starting point is 00:55:50 helping more than anyone's gonna fucking help a majority of the human race and you shit on that person it's that mpc part of the problem if that's the bro he brought water Bad parts of Africa like impoverished parts of Africa. He brought water there when they're like well well yeah Mm-hmm. We need to talk about how bad he is the NPC memes like the rich should give away their money to the poor Mr.. Beast does it I feel like YouTube content a lot of of it is, like, negative. Like, mine is relatively negative. I talk about negative things. Isn't it? Maybe we should have known that before you came down and did a whole video with our crew.
Starting point is 00:56:30 It's over for you. But shouldn't they be happy about the fact that, like, he has very positive content? Like, it's not like he's not shitting on people. Every video is like, here's how I helped these disenfranchised people. And it has, like, an inspirational, nice message. Isn't that nice? If you dumb down their complaint, it's that he's making money off philanthropy, which what is wrong? What's wrong with that? That's the way you can fund philanthropy
Starting point is 00:56:53 The government should but he's not he's not like a rich. They're so good at it He has money, but if you like listen to him on podcast, I guess he could be lying But it's not like he drives a fucking Lamborghini He bought an i8 and then he stole it so he could get a normal Tesla Model 3, right? I can verify. Do you want to talk about that a little bit? Yeah. He's worked with him, so can we say that?
Starting point is 00:57:12 Yeah, of course. Yeah, Brandon's worked with him. I've been with Brandon working with him. Since 2019. I've just been doing off videos and stuff like that. I've kind of seen them blow up over the last fucking, God, I hate this sentence, half decade. Jesus, we've been doing this a while.
Starting point is 00:57:27 You were the guy in a Mr. Beast video. Yeah, I did their fucking cannon video back in the day. I did their running from U.S. Army. Yeah, Zachary. The manhunt thing video. We did that. We did a few videos with them. And the joke back in the day was I'm Mr. Beast Explosives guy.
Starting point is 00:57:46 But, like, yeah, we really did, you know, help them with a few videos and such. But I've seen the evolution of it. And they've always been growth-oriented. They're trying to grow the channel as big as they can. But, I mean, the guy, I don't know if this is where he still lives, but, like, it's a very modest house in North Carolina. But, yeah, he seems like a relatively modest dude who's obviously just focused on the work.
Starting point is 00:58:07 And if you have a problem with the philanthropy, it's not like the philanthropy is too enriched himself. He employs hundreds of people to fuel the next philanthropy project, right? So I don't know. I don't really get the problem. God, you guys, I like, this is, if you guys are the future, we're doing right.

Starting point is 00:59:31 I don't know if you've ever, I want to watch you go interview these individuals. We've talked about it briefly on the podcast. It was the super inbred family. The Whitakers in West Virginia. They live a few hours from me because I'm from Maryland. Have you interviewed them? No.
Starting point is 00:59:48 Bro, that is... Okay, who knows the Whitakers? I mean, I guess I can contact Mark Leda from Softwood Underbelly, but I think you just drive to West Virginia, right? Like you fucking... You just go to their house and knock on their door. Yeah, they talk in grunts. That's the one you're talking about.

If you haven't seen it, the internet bought them a vehicle to get around in. Do you know the Whitakers? Yeah, I've seen videos about
Starting point is 01:00:34 them, yeah. Bro, it's the most. Cody, you've seen that? Yeah. The docs are so good. I love watching videos about inbred and or disabled people. My favorite genre. Yeah. That's Tom's first love. That's why you got into YouTube. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:00:50 Literally. Tom was stimming at those people. I want to make more videos. He's like, I have inspiration. It's the market player. I can milk you. When people have a,
Starting point is 01:01:02 you know, a moral aversion to incest, it's like, I understand your problem, but I got to make money somehow problem but I gotta make money somehow I gotta make money somehow that's the porn hub line look I understand your aversion to this
Starting point is 01:01:12 but we gotta make money dude I understand your aversion but big sister get over here that family tree is a fucking pole I was like dear god telephone pole and they break it down and it's a very kind family they just get by doing them and you're just yes they do what it's a fucking interesting daddy told sister mommy I can keep the kitty what is one of your most um where you actually felt danger because you go to like bad spots even
Starting point is 01:01:52 if you haven't watched this hawaii thing going to interview their blood crips whatever they were the first person the starting of it is like yo you're gonna get shot and then the next day after you left someone was murdered where you were interviewing people. Was that the 8 Mile? No, this is in Hawaii. This is Hawaii. Oh, no shit, really. The Bloods of Oahu.
Starting point is 01:02:14 Yeah. When was I most scared? Probably Oblock. Probably when I was leaving Oblock and someone fired shots off. Oblock is in Chicago. It's like where King Von is from. You guys know it? I'm not talking about the right people here.
Starting point is 01:02:33 I just know the crime rate. You guys don't know OG Bang Bang and Lil Flip and Sauce Waka and Peso Peso. Look at this group. Oh, yes. Of course. You know Lil Bang Bang, right? I only know it because I...
Starting point is 01:02:46 Oh, yeah. Yeah, that guy. Yeah, he's cool. I only know about it because I watched the preview clip you put up for your video. Okay, okay. Or maybe PKA is what it was. Yeah, I think I saw it a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:58 But that was probably when the gunshots rang out. Because Oblock has one entrance. It's like the most dangerous project housing in Chicago. It has one entrance and one entrance out. Why am I fucking saying that? One entrance and one exit. Yeah, there you go. Sorry. Line.
Starting point is 01:03:15 There's an advanced auto across the street. Where are the riders? The unsub riders, please. There's an advanced auto across the street. In between the entrance and that advanced auto, there's been like 20 people that have been murdered there in the past decade or two. And that's like right where I was walking when the shots went off. And I was like talking about it when it happened. I was about to cry like a girl.
Starting point is 01:03:31 You guys probably would have been fine. You would have been like, hmm, that's a nine millimeter. I've never been shot at. No, never. Never been shot. I wasn't shot at. I was shot near. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:42 He's joking. That's what I'm saying. You probably would have like not been scared i was talking to my buddy in this i haven't talked to him multiple in this i love you last week i haven't talked to this dude in years and he's doing fucking awesome but he was like oh i was like how often do we get in gunfights he's like i was like how many we get in he's like i'm like fucking probably 80 to 100 and something gunfights he's like i was like how many we get in he's like i'm like fucking probably 80 to 100 and something gunfights i was like yeah that sounds about i i forgot the number of how often that would happen and how normalized i got to i was like we used to walk and just smoke cigarettes at night on missions and they were like don't do I'm like, why the sniper at least we'll just hit here.
Starting point is 01:04:25 And I'm not going to feel the thing. We're fine. I was at the mindset. So desensitized. So desensitized at that point. I don't care. I just want Sarah. Fuck you.
Starting point is 01:04:35 Yeah. If you shoot me, it's going to be a headshot. Not with the way they zero their shit. So you'd get to where you wouldn't even flinch. If you heard gunfire. Oh, we did we
Starting point is 01:04:45 yeah we would have yeah we're very disenfranchised to gun a gunfire ieds the last id blast i've told it before it was like a giant explosion rocked the vehicle me over the comms was like id id id just drive through we pulled up sergeant major was like, Quavis, you had no elevation in your voice at that point.

Starting point is 01:07:53 My favorite part is that album of shit that they did, like Ram Ranch and all that shit. Micah from Grantham can recite it from memory. Every fucking word, not only that, but like in the back of the van, when we were in salt Lake,
Starting point is 01:08:07 he is screaming it. Hey, naked cowboys ready to get like, he's just, he was awesome. Sorry. Yeah. Who's Micah?
Starting point is 01:08:18 He's a grand thumbs camera guy. Okay. Yeah. Super talented dude. Awesome. Awesome. My guy, he knew the entire album from memory
Starting point is 01:08:25 and was screaming it in the back of like a church van as we were in Mormon territory in Mormon territory amongst other things he screamed
Starting point is 01:08:32 in Mormon territory you guys gotta fire some fucking fantastic weapons that you weren't used to we did an amazing range day
Starting point is 01:08:41 thanks to the boys these beautiful boys right here they brought out some fantastic firearms 22s22s, revolvers. That's about it. Just a couple things. A couple things.
Starting point is 01:08:50 Paintball guns. Yeah, paintball guns. Airsoft. Airsoft. Nerf or nothing. And then we did what we do down here and shot some pew-pews. And how was that experience for you guys? Fucking awesome, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:03 It was great. It was like one of our best days of the past year, I would say. Yeah, it couldn't have been any more fun. I feel like I was like my maximum happiness had been reached. And then you're like, hey, do you want to shoot the Thompson? I'm like, what the fuck? So we got there at, I think, 1 p.m. or something. And by the time 6 p.m. rolled around when we left, I thought like an hour had passed.
Starting point is 01:09:21 Like I didn't realize how fast it had gone. It was excellent. Definitely my favorite gun that I shot was the MPp40 that was a super cool gun to shoot it's always it's a crowdfunder shoot it's sick like almost no recoil yeah it's one of the easiest machine guns to shoot yeah yeah uh i liked the galil it was okay the ak's were really cool uh p90 was super sick yeah um fucking hated the barrett fuck that thing that thing's that was one of the easiest guns to shoot. Holocaust on your shoulder. Get that thing the fuck away from you.
Starting point is 01:09:48 That thing is... What's funny is it doesn't recoil that hard. Really? It's just the concussion. The blast of that weapon going off will clear your sinuses. I feel like all the liquid in my brain left out of my asshole or something as soon as I shot it.
Starting point is 01:10:03 Welcome to your first TBI, buddy. Eat an avocado. You'll be okay. As as i shot it i remember i remember thinking like get this thing the fuck away from me first thing i said when i shot it was is my nose bleeding but i got punched in my fucking face yeah it was scary by a toddler right yeah like yeah that's what we said before we said uh like shooting the m82a2 feels like hoz bullet just jabbing you in the nose yeah fuck that thing but everything doesn't exactly hurt but it feels funny you know i feel like i got the wind knocked out of me or something yeah that's the concussion as well yeah even being being next to it's worse than shooting it yeah because like if you're right in the path of the vent dude like seriously like a mag of that and you'll have a nosebleed really it's yeah it's well yeah
Starting point is 01:10:47 it's what's the bad but concussion percussion all that is what is the even for a grenade yes shrapnel will do the trick but that is what usually kills you it's just that over pressure not good for the the old brain noggin yeah it was super cool though you guys have a cool property out there and uh all the weird animals and shit were pretty cool. Shout out to Demo. Yeah, Demo. Demolition Ranch, thank you so much for letting us use your property.
Starting point is 01:11:10 Yeah, super cool. What was your favorite? What was your favorite gun? MP40 or the P90. The P90 was sick. I feel like I was in Call of Duty. What's up with the goats? What's up with the goats, though?
Starting point is 01:11:21 The black-bellied goats? Oh, they just live there on the property. I like those little fuckers. Do you feed them or something? No, they just exist there. So he bought this property. It had been abandoned for 20 years now. And the goats have just lived on the property.
Starting point is 01:11:37 So they have constantly been going into the rooms. It used to be a resort. They've been going into the hotel rooms there. We found one dead, like a skeleton. They've been going into the hotel rooms there and just live. We found one dead, like a skeleton in one of the rooms. Yeah, one of them locked themselves in the room, in one of the rooms there. And shot himself in the head 23 times.
Starting point is 01:11:52 Yeah, exactly. He had information leading to the arrest of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Yeah, dude, he was talking about Epstein shit. It was fucking, it was weird. I just picture a goat leaning against the wall with a gun in his hand and his hoof. It smells like teen spirit.
Starting point is 01:12:08 The goat had a tattoo that said, I will not be investigated. Yeah, this poor motherfucker locked himself in one of the rooms there and just starved to death and died. Meh, meh, meh. Just trying to open it with his hoof. Of course, Heather took his fucking skull.
Starting point is 01:12:24 He's hearing all of you guys out there having a fun range day. He's like, I'm so fucked. Same height as you're laughing about being in this fucking room. You're gonna forget about me. That was the funny part
Starting point is 01:12:33 about having Sam out to an event. It's like, we weren't sure going into it. We're like, hmm, we like Sam.
Starting point is 01:12:39 Like, his content's funny as fuck. Like, he's just a genuinely, like, really funny, like, modern comedian right now.
Starting point is 01:12:44 Like, we don't know if he'll behave. Did he say anything? No, he was great. You thought he was going to take a gun and be like,
Starting point is 01:12:51 oh! Well, you're not sure. I know he's done content with guns before, so we knew going into it, okay, he's a gun guy. He knows what to do and not to do,
Starting point is 01:12:59 but we're like, all right, we have some high-profile guys here. We don't need a scene to be caused. Sam was awesome. He was actually a be caused. Now, Sam was awesome. He was actually a cool dude. No, he was a complete gentleman.
Starting point is 01:13:07 Great guy. Awesome person. Yeah, he rocks. But going into it, there was the apprehension where it's like, all right, which Sam are we going to get? Yeah. But after meeting him, it's like, you know, he's a really nice guy. And he wouldn't fucking pull up and do some shit like that.
Starting point is 01:13:21 Yeah, which is cool. And that's the weird part. Like we were talking about with YouTubers you've never met, right? You don't know if you're going, which is cool. And that's the weird part. Like we were talking about with YouTubers, you've never met, right? You don't know if you're going to get the version of them that's the real person, that's a cool guy, or you're going to get the fucking hit piece on the internet. Well, and that's the perfect segue.
Starting point is 01:13:37 What is one where you're like, I'm going to do a piece on this individual and there was the most recourse from it or pushback from it? Oh, shit. I think we just met one that I can't talk about actually oh can you make a fake one you can't talk about yeah um i don't i don't think there's been a huge one in the past few years that i've gotten like a lot of shit for us and pretty i pretty much try to keep the research pretty down pat i mean sometimes
Starting point is 01:13:57 when i talk about people i'll get like you know a twitter thread or something made about me it'll be like this guy did these things he said this word on this live stream on this date. Like, uh, I, the thing I feel the worst for honestly is just my friends. Cause like when I hang out with someone like Wendigoon, he is,
Starting point is 01:14:11 uh, he's more famous than me. Probably is like four or five times more famous. Like he's huge. Right. As you guys know. No, he's awesome.
Starting point is 01:14:16 Yeah. And he, uh, he'll get storyteller. He'll get like, we'll get like Reddit threads made like Wendigoon caught hanging out with known racist Turkey Tom. And it's like,
Starting point is 01:14:24 I just feel bad for people getting Rode on race it known racist fuck This is never coming. I don't feel that known yet chief chief. Maybe now that I'm below his face Congressman I'll be known but Yeah, I mean, yeah, I did I feel bad for people who'd like getting shit because of like shit I do but I would say I'm I'm not with the read the videos videos themselves I'm not a very controversial person it's more just like who I am sometimes you know I make an edgy joke on stream now and then I have a
Starting point is 01:14:49 bridge incident stuff like that and especially do you just get the bridge thing yeah I'm gonna call incidents the bridge incident and everyone that knows I had a bridge yeah
Starting point is 01:15:04 bridge I was yeah we were saying like god's donkey bridge i was like we were saying yesterday the the entire world is tom's n-word bridge base but no and what's funny is that like well you we joke about that but like that's we're making a joke about you know the bridge the incident that happened with pewdiepie yeah the world's big oh now second biggest uh youtuber that was half that size when it happened because it's like okay in reality like if you can you can pull jokes or whatever out of context or just you know one slip up somebody makes but that doesn't actually kill their entire career no it doesn't usually matter generally like cancel culture the thing i've realized is that the only way you
Starting point is 01:15:44 really lose is like there's well it's a month but it's like there's two paths you can either cower to it apologize yeah or you can make your entire career about the existence of cancel culture which is what some people have done inside you there are two wolves exactly i think one that's a fucking one that won't shut up. And so I think the best... Are you running for Congress? Yes. He's gonna win!
Starting point is 01:16:12 And it's gonna be hilarious when I get there. His opponent is such a fucking... I think the real path to take is the third path, which is like, just keep your head up, keep doing your shit, keep making content. Destiny, as we were mentioning, one piece of advice he's given me and many other people is like, look, if you get in controversy, you know,
Starting point is 01:16:30 chill out for a day, get off the internet. Don't do anything drastic. Nobody ever wished they responded sooner to like some kind of crazy allegation or something. And then past that point, just keep doing what you do because the people who understand what you do and know you're not a bad person, they're going to understand your intention. The people who don't, they don't want to anyway. They don't care. They don't really want a sincere apology. They want you to be on your knees
Starting point is 01:16:49 sucking their... They want your life ruined. Sucking their zur dick. That's the thing that drives me crazy is the people who apologize for shit that they did nothing wrong. There's so much of that on YouTube. Don't fucking apologize. You stick by what you fucking... If you didn't do anything wrong, don't cow to it.
Starting point is 01:17:04 The only people that you're impressing are the people who will never fucking like you yeah and the problem with that too is like you you create a uh an unfortunate expectation if you have a habit of apologizing or they think they can get you to apologize for anything they force it and like it's happened with cody and i mean i was even one of the first people with cody i was like do not fucking because Because we were both on the same side. I said a word one time. Yeah, and I was like, don't fucking apologize. You called a straight white woman.
Starting point is 01:17:29 My girlfriend, in joking manner. And I was like, don't apologize for that. And then he was like, yeah, I'm not going to. I was like, good. It's fucking stupid to try to bow down for a joke. A joke. These people hated you already. They hated you already. They hated you already.
Starting point is 01:17:45 They just found a thing to stick to. Yeah, they're like, you see why I hate him? Congratulations, you're still fucking hated. I mean, these people, you see the shit they say on Twitter. They literally want you dead and they want your children brainwashing on hormones. So I just, I just, I can't fuck with that. You want me to summarize that real quick? Yeah, what the fuck happened, Cody?
Starting point is 01:18:02 I'm sorry, this was on a, this was in the middle of a live stream where we raised a quarter of a million dollars for veterans. In two days, we raised a quarter million dollars for veterans, which Brandon hates. Apparently, yes. I didn't know that. I thought I really got along with veterans, and really, you know, I found that out a couple days ago. Only $250,000, that's it?
Starting point is 01:18:20 Only a quarter of a million dollars? In two days? Very impressive. Impressive. Very nice. Let's see how much Tony raised. thousand that's it only a quarter of a million dollars in two days very impressive very nice let's see how much tony raised yeah so we were in two days we've done more for the better community period cody what happened though we were doing a live stream where it was uh me brandon eli It was a couple of our other friends in our friend's garage, and we had computers set up. So we were just streaming at the time on Twitch.
Starting point is 01:18:50 We get shit rekt, we have a blast. Yeah, yeah, we just got shit rekt. And all of our donations and everything went straight to boot campaign, I think. Yeah, went straight to boot campaign. Raised a quarter million dollars for veteran families, Gold Star families. And Eli's girlfriend was behind me. And I don't remember what chat said, but I turned around and I said,
Starting point is 01:19:10 hey, come over here. And to his girlfriend, a straight heterosexual female. I will say, that's a very weird way to address a girl. You think you'd be like, bitch. That was... I've never seen a girl you think you'd be like bitch that was I've never seen a girl and thought
Starting point is 01:19:28 well actually that's not true but usually usually I don't think that G fans over here I know our editor is like so many black boxes and beeps to do you're gonna need a lot of Adderall sorry buddy the entire episode is gonna be like bleep anyway my name is bleep and beeps to do it. You're going to need a lot of Adderall to get through this edit. Sorry, buddy.
Starting point is 01:19:45 The entire episode is going to be like, beep. Anyway, my name is bleep. But that was my first Switch band. Okay. Yeah, I got banned for a week. But it was? After being a partner for like two years
Starting point is 01:19:55 and bringing them an ungodly amount of money. And you see people's true personalities come out because there were people that were telling you, you've got to apologize right now. You've got to apologize right now.'s like no dude yeah i've never said that word to like a homosexual person like i like you've never said it except for that one time you've never said it in hate which i think a lot of people forget that keyword in hate if it's just a joke if fucking cody's like come here fucking bow my yards
Starting point is 01:20:25 i'll be like okay are you paying me i'm not gonna take where were you going with that but it's like it is in hate or whatever if it's in a joking matter it's it's a fucking word i'm not gonna get pissed by it the internet went up in rage for that was it like twitter just people complaining yeah i mean it's not your real Was it like Twitter? Just people complaining? I mean, it's not your real fans anyway. Yeah, that's true. People who are fans of you probably don't think like, **** is the worst thing ever. They probably don't care.
Starting point is 01:20:51 Like the fucking, there was, I'm not going to say some names, but a couple of people got upset on Twitter and shit. And I got banned for a week and was like, man, that's what I get banned for? It caused some group turmoil. Yeah. But then in two weeks, what happened? Nothing. It's exactly what happened? Nothing. It's exactly what you were saying.
Starting point is 01:21:07 You just chill out and let it happen. These people get bored and get on to the next person they can fucking harass. Especially if you don't get a good reaction out of that person. They'll find the next step. What they want is to have you on video crying or on stream having a mental breakdown like, I'm so sorry, I'm a good person.
Starting point is 01:21:23 I had a continuous lapse of judgment. I had a serious lapse in judgment when i filmed that homeless person being beat by my own boot where's the logical consistency with being upset that you called a homo a homophobic term to a straight white female it doesn't even like you're losing me you're losing me on how i'm supposed to be these motherfuckers would have never made it in a Modern Warfare 2 lobby. It's like a performative, like, just virtue signaling anger because you get Twitter likes if you're like, look what Donut Operator, 5 million subscribers, did. What the fuck is this racist doing?
Starting point is 01:21:55 How does he have any fans? Like, you get attention from that. There's like a community of people online that are like, retweet, retweet. Oh my God, this is so disgusting. The lolcows again. Yeah, I mean, these are the average, like, person who is living the life of a lolcow. line that are like retweet retweet oh my god this is so disgusting the locales again yeah i mean these are these these are the average like person who is living the life of a locale you know and
Starting point is 01:22:10 unfortunately the people in our position like there are 10 000 fucking people waiting in the wings waiting for us to fuck up or fuck up in any regard that they're just like now now now but if it's but if it's any like solace like just think about like do you think these are happy people probably not they're probably pretty miserable you know know yeah the other day. We have our lives, and they have theirs and yeah There's is probably best job. I ever had I've ever had I've let it get yours in the past. It's Monday, and we're drunk. I already drank my shit generally with stuff like that I think the best policies is just fucking should I Will do one you want I got you, bro. I need more. We'll do one.
Starting point is 01:22:45 You want to pause? Take a quick minute break. Tom's really modest, but I've met so many YouTubers, and he is one of the hardest working, probably the hardest working YouTuber I've ever met as far as like hours put in every week. Which is the next subject, because this is one thing. I always love our motivation segments. It is from, you are 21 21 and you're already crushing life. And like we,
Starting point is 01:23:07 yes, it happened later in life for us. You, no, 28. You all are crushing. I started when I was 24. He started when he was like 14 or 15. Well, to make it clear, to make it clear,
Starting point is 01:23:15 YouTube wasn't a thing when you guys were my, when you guys were 14, right? YouTube wasn't really popping off. I think I've got a similar story to you but just a little later.
Starting point is 01:23:22 Yeah, exactly. When I was 16, like YouTube was already a thing I was involved in. Yeah, there. It was close. When I was 16, YouTube was already a thing. I was involved. Yeah, there you go. So when I was 13, I was getting really into YouTube. By the time I was 14, I was sinking hours in. By the time I was 16, I was skipping school to make YouTube videos because that's just all I cared about.
Starting point is 01:23:38 But I don't like to say that I work hard because compared to, let's say, somebody who does manual labor, what I do is not hard. I say I work a lot. There's a difference between working hard and knowing how to delegate yeah right like you still work a lot you're not like necessarily slinging you know sandbags over your shoulder you're still working yeah and it's not to discredit like blue collar labor it is you are still managing how many employees do you have under you? Contractors, okay? They don't have health insurance, but like eight. Eight, you are still at 21. And resonate that
Starting point is 01:24:09 with yourself. It's like he is in charge of 21, or eight people at the age of 21. To be 21 and understand the actual difference between a contractor and a W-2 employee. That says enough already. That means he has an S-Corp and he's figuring out life at a very...
Starting point is 01:24:25 I do have an S-Core. To be clear, a lot of this is from my mother. I would not fucking know anything. My mom's like a fucking super Bulgarian genius mastermind. He puts like 60... I mean, look at his channels. Look at the three channels he runs. He puts like 60 plus hours of concentrated, focused effort in every week, no matter what.
Starting point is 01:24:43 And that's probably... He calls me sometimes and is like, oh, like he got a strike once and he couldn't upload for the week and he's like oh like what do i do i can't upload what do i do because he's just like so do i die well that's the only thing i really i like truly like i care about like people and friends and stuff but like my motivation in life is like solely towards my job but to be clear when we say working hard the hard work is like i sit in my fucking bedroom i wake up at 10 a.m 11 a.m look at twitter sometimes 1 p.m i look at twitter for what's happening i record a video i'm recording audio i'm writing something for like four or five hours i'm streaming for four
Starting point is 01:25:14 or five hours a day like it's not like insane backbreaking work no but but the creep yeah the creativity and and what you do like if you'd stop doing what you did on a nine-to-five, in your own mind, eight people would be out of a job. The stress of having their entire livelihoods, having a small football team's worth of people relying on you. That's the biggest point of stress for me. Part of the reason I want to do very well is the money I make is proportionate to the money they make. One of my employees has a kid, they all have like, you know,
Starting point is 01:25:47 houses to take care of. One of my buddies has a girlfriend he supports. So it's like, uh, the more money I make, the more money they make. And so that's why I have, uh,
Starting point is 01:25:55 on some of my stuff, we do a percentage model as opposed to anything else. Like on my second channel, my editor gets 40% of the revenue that I make because it's as hard as he works. This is as much money as he's willing to make. And so now he's, he used to work for like the feds, um, just doing like websites and stuff. And now he makes like $10,000 a month, roughly on average working for me just, uh, and he works
Starting point is 01:26:13 hard. I mean, he's working like, you know, 10, 12 hour days editing YouTube videos every day. But once again, like the work we do is like, uh, it's like we turn on, I turn on a camera. I talk about bullshit that I'm interested in anyway. And also as far as like what I got into, like, you can talk about like, Oh, we got into such a young age. But like I came in at the right time. I was exposed to the right things early on. Like there are circumstances that I encountered that made me primed to do this. Well, I will say don't discredit your work ethic because you are if you individuals out there, it is like blue collar versus what he does, what we do.
Starting point is 01:26:47 It is a completely different situation. Like, let's say you have a family. Your sole responsibility is like my wife and kid or just my child. And you're like, okay, I just have to take care of that individual. You just said it your best. You have to take care of eight employees. Make sure they're taking care of contractors with good... Oh, look at him. He thinks he's people.
Starting point is 01:27:10 Everybody who works for me is fucking subhuman just so you guys know. Why is he sitting at the table? Quiet. Shut up. Start filming. Lucas, start filming. There he goes. Lucas, show Dick. Let me see dick
Starting point is 01:27:25 all my contractors are also part of my blood cult where we do blood brothers and then we show each other our dicks to make sure that we all have blackmail on each other so to be clear if I ever fire them they're gonna have ample opportunity to destroy my life but you still crush it like or make my life I've gotten home at 6 a.m I've got a big weird dick it's kind of looks like a uh it kind of looks like a zebra or like a giraffe very specific yeah he's so weird I've got a big weird dick. It kind of looks like a zebra or a giraffe. Tom's a freak, dude. He's so weird. I've gotten home at 6 a.m. from filming all day with him, and I go to sleep, and I'm like, oh, I feel like shit. This is horrible.
Starting point is 01:27:52 He's like, oh. He goes to record another video and micromanage like four other videos at 6 in the morning for the next four hours. But even you, you just said, I got home at 6 a.m., and I continued to work. And I will say a lot of people in this job or if they want this as a job, they don't understand the amount of work that goes in behind the scenes to make it successful. Because none of this was just handed to any of you. It's not my favorite saying is like you don't ride an elevator to the top.
Starting point is 01:28:22 You take the stairs if you want to actually make it to the top. Elevator, shit's not going to mean anything and it's going to fail. Take the stairs, learning through process. That is how you will be successful. And you guys, even at young ages, which I fucking love, is what you're crushing at right now. And you have to choose your path. Like you can build it up on the side while you're doing another job or you can dive in. Like I got my master's degree degree became an elementary school art teacher
Starting point is 01:28:47 Quit my job on June 18th had backlogged like eight videos dove in completely and at the two-year mark of me having my channel I was down $20,000 Cumulatively six months later. I broke even and then now Yeah, I'll have a profitable channel, but most people 18 months or two years in I'm down 10,000 down 15,000 20,000 It's not working in two more years. I'm down 10,000, I'm down 15,000, I'm down 20,000. It's not working. In two more years, I'm going to be on 40,000. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:29:08 You start getting negative. So the reason that I feel lucky is because when I was, you know, 13 years old, I was learning like Photoshop basics and stuff like that. And it's all from like YouTube tutorials,
Starting point is 01:29:17 which is why college felt so worthless to me because when I was 18 and 19, I was in school and they were like, instead of, you know, I'm paying like $30,000 a year to be at this like private liberal arts college. And what they're showing me is the same YouTube tutorials that I was learning when I was 18 and 19, I was in school and they were like, instead of, you know, I'm paying like $30,000 a year to be in this like private liberal arts college.
Starting point is 01:29:26 And what they're showing me is the same YouTube tutorials that I was learning. I have my masters. They show you literally in fucking, in fucking school. YouTube tutorials is what I was learning. And I was like, how do you not know Photoshop basics? If you're interested in media at 18 years old, like one of the reasons I dropped out. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:41 It's just fucking stupid. And I think if I had gone for something different, like I don know business or something maybe that could have been no no i was going yeah no i promise you no business is no different i was doing i was doing i was going to school for business pre-law uh yeah campbell and it was the same fucking i need to sit down with business people like masters in business and i'm like what are you fucking well i guess i just i just don't want to preach to people about college being bad because i'm sure if you're like a doctor or something that's probably no i would prefer my doctor have gone to college yeah i watched a youtube video open heart surgery sometimes you get a doctor to learn how to fix a subdural hematoma
Starting point is 01:30:18 on discord and that's kind of a dark thing but to be clear like i had like you know five years kind of a head start where like i was living with my parents i wasn't paying bills i had a lot of free time to just do this shit stop discounting yourself you said i had a five-year well i'm okay i'm proud of what i did i'm just saying it's like yeah it's not all me like me and brandon come from nice families good families you know we we had like a decent situation if my dad had been like me or something i would have been tough to the youtube his tutorial is way harder harder to watch you could have been really good at you know sonic fan fiction and done that whole fucking song and dance that's the other uh that's the other route you can go down sometimes certainly yeah people make so much about like all racial privilege and stuff but i think parental
Starting point is 01:30:56 privilege is the biggest privilege in the world and we were blessed having good parents like changes your fucking life i don't even my favorite my i say this constantly, the best gift my parents ever gave me was the business mindset. Because I came from a family of entrepreneurs. They really were about that life. And I was told from, to a degree, it might be mildly scarring to most children today. But I was told, hey, if you work for somebody else,
Starting point is 01:31:21 you're a fucking loser. You will own your own business. You will do your own thing. And I'm fucking nine years will and i'm like fucking like nine years old i'm like i just like star wars dude like i don't know okay but like being taught how to get on w9 yeah they showed you the path right that's a yeah it's invaluable most people don't even think that the path is possible and it's a mindset like seriously because there are people who just think like their entire lives you know public schooling and everything they're just berated with get it like get enough education so you can get a good enough job and retire at 65 with a pension of you know a reasonable amount so
Starting point is 01:31:56 you can maybe make enough money that you don't die starving that's the dream well that's the american dream and you're like i think there's a um a false sense of security people getting like herd safety where they think like if i just do all the right steps if i do well in high school if i go to college if i get a job i'm gonna be fine and for some people it does work out but it seems increasingly for people in my generation uh it doesn't work out it doesn't always work out to go the basic path and i'm not saying everybody should be a fucking youtuber but i'm just saying there are other options there's no shame in like trade school and stuff like that I know kids who went to trade school is the way to go if I if I if YouTube didn't work out I would just start
Starting point is 01:32:31 welding or something or like driving trucks because those kids do super well kids I went to high school with who are like in trades are making more money than the kids who got college educated will ever make I'm 10 years post high school the trade people are killing it they have homes they're starting families they have kids most of the college people are like trying to they're waiting tables yeah you are spending a lot of money to delay when you have to face the real world that's what college is and you know 50 of the time nowadays but like trade school stuff like that like if you have an actual marketable skill that real companies need like if you know how to fucking weld and you're really good at a fucking journey jesus christ if you're really good at it. Like I'm a fucking journeyman. Jesus Christ, if you're 21, right?
Starting point is 01:33:05 Like you can fucking get a really good paying salary at that. If you're just a really good TIG welder, fuck yeah, go for it. You ever had a pipe break in your house, had to call a plumber how fucking expensive it is? Where do you think that money goes? Right? This is like my favorite. Even you is a perfect example of you got, you were teaching art school. Elementary school. Master. Yep. And then you're like, you were teaching art school, elementary school master.
Starting point is 01:33:25 Yep. And then you're like, now I'm going to do something completely different. And you still say you're not comfortable in front of a camera. You just learned that trade. Yeah. I'm definitely more of the like camera guy editor type. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:38 Cause that's what you started with. You're like, I'd rather be behind the camera than in front of it. But you're like, I have to make this work by being in front of the camera and now you're successful and now you have fucking fantastic docs about it and that was all self-taught i'm actually curious now where where did you start with youtube what what what made you get into youtube originally like what what made you get in front of the camera what was the catalyst for it yeah um it's kind kind of dark. My brother passed away September 4th of 2019,
Starting point is 01:34:06 and that was the first Thursday I was a school teacher, and he was a technical sergeant in the Air Force, and he had a heart attack. And I just remember after he passed away, it was very devastating to my family and everything. And I was thinking, like, damn, my brother did everything right. He was a technical sergeant, had his degree, and he was just living out, like, oh, I can retire in, like,
Starting point is 01:34:23 six more years or five more years. And I remember him saying that all the time that he had a heart attack. And I was like, I had gotten my master's degree. I hated it. And then when I was a teacher and I hated it, I was just thinking of my brother, like, damn, if I die when I'm 34,
Starting point is 01:34:34 do I want to die as a teacher or do I want to die having, you know, tried other things? And yeah, so there was just one Sunday in January where I went out and filmed a video about a massage parlor that was giving out handjobs in my local town. Just like your brother would have wanted. What's your brother's name?
Starting point is 01:34:50 Kyle Delane, yeah. Kyle. You're like, I would want this. This is for you, Kyle. I was actually going to ask about that earlier when we were at lunch because it was just very prominent. Yeah, the hourglass has his ashes in it. Well, thank you for Kyle's service. That's fucking amazing for what he did in the Air Force.
Starting point is 01:35:05 Yep, the Air Force. The most badass branch. Dude, he's the smartest branch. Air power. I will fucking, as a fucking dumbass that got shot. If you're wanting to go to any branch, the Air Force is the smart choice every goddamn time. Glass Los Angeles.
Starting point is 01:35:24 Yeah, but I was just looking at where my life was going, and I'm like, I don't know. The teaching thing wasn't for me. I taught in the hood, and I never gave myself the opportunity to just try something like YouTube because I was always going to school to be a teacher. And you're not taught.
Starting point is 01:35:36 That mindset of try something new, try something adventurous, and try something out of your comfort zone probably was super foreign to you. Yeah, my parents did not accept it at all. Because my mom's a teacher, my dad's the head of the IT department at the dental school in Baltimore. So they're like very well-to-do. And they're like, they're still like, hey, you should follow this job application to this day.
Starting point is 01:35:55 My mom wants me to go to college, yeah. Yeah, like to this day, our parents would be like, hey, you should go to this to get this degree. Or what about this job? My dad actually gets it because he watches a lot of Joe Rogan. So he understands YouTubers is like a concept and he's gotten more into it. And he knows like some of the people that I watch, like he likes like Tucker and Alex Jones and stuff like that. So he kind of got into that stuff. But it's changed in the last like five years.
Starting point is 01:36:16 My dad, my dad is like 50 and he's like Gen X, but he's like younger Gen X. So he's like just on the cusp of like he gets like YouTube stuff. He gets that kind of shit. My mom is a is from Bulgaria. She is an immigrant. She fucking YouTube shit is like she's like just on the cusp of like, he gets like YouTube stuff. He gets that kind of shit. My mom is a, is from Bulgaria. She is an immigrant. She fucking YouTube shit is like, she's like, you did what? You like film with this Brandon guy about some like retard or something. And I'm like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:33 She's like, okay, that is okay. You film with retard? Why you do this? And she's still, she's still like, ideally, I think would like. Jesus, no wonder they want space race. Dasvidaniya, Turgiton. But yeah yeah so she uh she still wants me to go to school but they are definitely proud of me and uh you know your parents are proud of you I know and they're glad that we're you know succeeding in a field uh even if it's you know to my mother not
Starting point is 01:36:57 going to Dartmouth probably would be what she wanted me to do but uh you know sometimes doesn't work out that way I'm definitely super thankful but I think my brother thing was the catalyst for me to like come on camera more. I actually, fun fact, I went to the Carroll County Current Tech Center, which was like an alternate school for art kids in high school. And I originally joined the video production class. But when I found out I had to be on camera, I dropped out and joined the print production. The fucking irony of that. That's how uncomfortable I was.
Starting point is 01:37:21 But still, you can kind of see it in the nature of my content. Most of it is like interview based, directing the focus to other people. I can say for sure, though, when I film with him, like being on camera is so draining for him. Like by the end of it, you're like, I'm going to fucking go sleep for 10 hours. I'm pretty introverted. I do see it that like I can see it even just in unsub. Like for me, like sometimes I just, a lot of my content is like, you know,
Starting point is 01:37:42 desk video stuff, and I know it's the same for you. It's like unless I have a script, like, it is so fucking draining to be on alone. But when you have an interview or when you're talking to other people, especially, like, when I'm amongst friends, like, people, like, my favorite people on the fucking planet, like, it's easier to just, like, let yourself out of your shell
Starting point is 01:37:57 and just talk. Yeah. You know, like, get lost in the moment, have fun. You don't even realize, like, we're on a podcast right now that I haven't even thought about that we're filming. Exactly. And that's the key to it, is not feeling like it's draining, because all i true i i'm an introvert introvert
Starting point is 01:38:09 but introvert yeah i could tell he was introverted more than i thought when i first met you dude this stuff is the most draining goddamn thing in the world when it is like especially with interactions with people or like any of those it is we will walk back and just sit there and be we've had many stories we'll just like break apart from the crowd and we just sit in the back room like you want a shot yeah i'll do a shot bro it'll be us three in a hotel room we exchange 80 words over an hour i'm just kind of out. His beds are kinda cold, huh? The hardest shit in the world. What's on Twitter today? Not much.
