Brandon and I had a fantastic time recording this. We were truly blessed to hear these stories and it is absolutely motivating. As you can see, this episode is four hours and 13 minutes and we did that for all of you and these stories deserve that much time. If you want to laugh, this is an awesome episode for that. But most importantly, if you want to be motivated and see what trials and tribulations some people go through to get where they are. This is the episode. I hope you guys enjoy it. Keep kicking ass, keep taking names, and hopefully this motivates you guys to go out there and crush life. Also, if you can do me one quick favor, Ryden has started uploading YouTube videos. And when he got home, he opened it up. He's like, I have zero comments. I just want one video or two videos to have some

Right. That happens sometimes. We've had a couple of those.

We call that the juicy podcast incident of 2021. It was a big deal. It was a big deal. It's like a Wikipedia page, like a battle. You've got combatants and shit on the side. Yeah. There's a list of... There's, of course, an obituary. It was a big day.

This podcast is dedicated to the brave fighters of the muja hadin welcome okay so uh hi everyone welcome to the unsubscribed podcast god that felt good to do we're joined today by my friends eli double fab juicy Eddie and narrator and myself not donut operator mr. Brandon Herrera everyone isn't isn't former congressman yeah yeah former almost congressman shit yeah I was about to say well yeah there's a tradition here okay what's the tradition yeah the it. You grab one, and on the count of three... What is that? Wait, hold on. What is that?

It's a spicy... It's good. I've never seen that. It's unfortunately... Three, two, one. Oh, yeah. That was actually a very sexy click. All right, we did a little out of order.

Sorry, I'm not... I'm not Donut. Well, at least you remembered it. He's here with us. Donut's here. Oh, I'm not Donut. Well, at least you remembered it. He's here with us. Hi, everyone. Hi, everyone. I thought those were his ashes. Yeah, he's here with us today in spirit.

Poor guy exploded. There's ashes in there. He came back from California. I told him to cease fire on the bullying, and he just melted down in front of us. Cease fire! Cease fire! The campaign's over with and he's just literally just melted. It was like fucking Terminator 2 with just the thumbs up coming from the lava. I've served my mission of destroying people on Twitter.

I can rest now. Credits for all this. Just turned into a pile. Just ashes. The end of Operator 2. And you'll rise out of them again. For round two. Do you guys have...

First off, I love that you guys put... You take jokes. You nail jokes. And you push the envelope. Even though you have a younger demographic than like us we have like that 30 i think 35 is probably our average i would say so yeah somewhere yeah like that you guys are like that 16 uh yeah it's it's like 16 to mid-20s but yeah i think so yeah youtube says otherwise youtube says the majority is 18 and over like between 18 and 24 but we know the little 14 15 year olds out there like yeah

making 18 plus accounts like yeah and a lot of those people's like have grown up carrying on their own career i remember doing that when i was like yeah i did that yeah i did that yeah my original youtube account like fucking 50 dude like No kid follows that. It's like, is this porn time? Are you 18? No. They're like, damn it! Damn it! It's like the fucking memes of the fence in the middle of nowhere with tire marks around either side. What am I

going to do? To your point, I think that's one of our staples, is just making fun of each other and basically our group, which Molly and Josh aren't here, but our group is just basically made up of five dudes that are just friends and dudes. And we just joke with each other. We joke with each other and we have that camaraderie with each other.

And I think we don't fake it and we also don't, like, sugarcoat anything or hold back. And we're just, like, very real with each other and with think we don't fake it and we also don't like sugarcoat anything or hold back and we're just like very real with each other yeah and with our audience and i think they they vibe with that because everything is so curated on youtube that yeah something like what what we portray is it's just much needed i guess it's just a genuine friendship I heard a bunch of dudes joking with each other familiar yeah right but like the way that you guys talk to each other and some of the stuff you say it say like reminds me of me playing with my friends you know growing up and playing video games and shit which that's not allowed on YouTube anymore for the in the the public perception like most people are afraid to still do that but you guys are just really real about it.

Yeah, I mean, I feel like we've always been that way. So it's like not really a big shocker to anybody. It's not like someone who's trying to put up this picture-perfect image, and then the group chat leaks, and they're in federal prison.

Well, don't get me wrong. If our group chat leaks, we're still're in federal prison. You know, it's like... Well, don't get me wrong. If our group chat leaks, we're still going to federal prison. I don't... We don't even know where to start on this. The discord leaks of 2024. I just get a knock on the door. It's like... I'm ready. Let's go.

I can slap him on. They don't even have to say FBI open up. They're just knocking on the door and you're already there. Take me. I'm sorry. Oh, you made it past the Claymores. Well, our fair game. Sir, I'm your Uber Eats.

Yeah, we delete all of our group chats every year. Oh, that's probably smart. We're overdue for this next one, but we typically just purge our group chat. Not a bad idea. In case anything happens. It's really something I feel like everyone should do. Typically just purge our group chat. Not a bad idea. In case anything happens. It's something I feel like everyone should do. We're reaching for the phone right now.

Burn it all. Burn it all. It's awesome. Half my group chats have moved to Signal now. Shit like that. Signal, Telegram. Keep it as safe as possible. Birds, exactly. Unless they're birds owned by the government, you know, the ones that are The ones with the big batteries and yeah, yeah, you know charge of the power lines, you know, just

government conspiracies I've never seen a baby pigeon I'm just gonna say that. Hey, hey, hey, that's how you guys look. I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm gonna keep it real. I've never once seen a not full-sized pigeon. Yeah, no. They did videos like, this is what one looks like. Never proved it.

Wait, has anyone actually seen it? No, I'll do you one better. I saw this one fucking, it was like a green text. It was like, have you ever seen a pregnant Asian? I was just... Not in person, but... It doesn't count no it doesn't count it's not in person somebody's like what do they just like spawn like call of duty like you know i heard this i heard this somewhere recently and i went back through both of my trips to japan and i'm like You go through every photo Where are the pregnant Japanese ladies? I haven't

I saw them with kids. Is this a fetish or something? You're just like looking for them? No, yo dog, where are the pregnant Japanese ladies? I'm like trying to I'm trying to remember. I cannot remember a single, spotting a single pregnant Japanese It's a rare spawn. No, it is

God damn it Okay, have you ever seen spotting a single pregnant Japanese. It's a rare spawn. Yeah, it is. God damn it. Have you ever seen your neighbors unloading their groceries? Yeah, well, okay. Yes. 3 4th of July's ago, saw her unloading the groceries. 3 4th?

3 4th of July ago. Is that like some segregation joke? Is that like some 3 5th's comment? 3 4th of July ago. Is that like some like segregation joke? That's like three weeks dude. Is that like some like three fifths common? No, no, no, no. Like three fourths of July. You're like the parents that are like, yes my child is 56 months old. White privilege is getting an entire July. There's a crazy punchline to this though.

Alright, alright, alright. I saw her unload the groceries and I thought of the meme. She died that night in the backyard. How do you know in the backyard? How is that a punchline? Because I was there. This is crazy. This is crazy.

The next day. So we had our 4th of July party. I saw her unload the groceries. And I'm like, that's crazy. My neighbor's unloading the groceries. The next day, someone's knocking on my door. And they're like, can you hop the fence and unlock this house from the back door? They're not answering.

I'm like the grandmother or whatever this. I hopped the fence and like unlock this house from the back door? They're not answering. I'm like the, you know, grandmother or whatever this, I hopped the fence and they're there. And I'm like, they got them. They unloaded the groceries. They blew the cover. They unloaded the groceries.

You're not allowed to do this. A neighbor. You're looking at your decaying neighbor. Wait, you kind of just glossed over the fact that you saw this dead lady in your, did you see the dead body? Yeah. Yeah. But like, listen, wait, you kind of just glossed over the fact that you saw this dead lady in your- Did you see the dead body? Yeah, yeah, but, like, listen, it's- But yeah, but the groceries, though!

If you are a neighbor- God! If you are a neighbor- This is the weirdest trauma coping I've ever heard. If you're a neighbor, be careful. Be careful when you unload your groceries. Don't get spotted. Don't get the exact-

Did you feel a little bit responsible because you were the one who- Because I spotted it. Yeah, I haven't even thought about that. That's fucked up. bit responsible because you were the one who wanted it? Yeah. I haven't even thought about that. That's fucked up. You killed her, dude. Yeah, it's your fault. It was you.

Put the wrist together. Oh, my God, dude. You didn't just lock me out, dude. I don't live it. Oh, good. I remember the story, but I do not remember us putting two and two together. You might have been responsible for killing your neighbor. Don't say that.

It'll only be seen by hundreds of thousands of people. It's quite fine. Well, it's the same thing if you go to a huge city. They have the gigantic cranes that build the towers and different skyscrapers. Have you ever actually seen one of those cranes being pulled up? Actually moving?

No, like a crane being built. They're just there. Actually, no, like building the crane. It's a crane being built. Oh, yeah. They're just there. Actually, yes, because of 1604. Oh, yeah. San Antonio. There's so many fucking, there's so much construction here. Yes, I have. I've never seen the crane going from point A to point B, though.

I know what you're talking about. I'm like, wait, I have not seen a crane getting moved. Seven crane operators die in San Antonio. Oh, no. It was you. You ratted them out. You witnessed it! Wait, did we make sure that no one spotted Cody unloading the groceries?

Oh shit. Oh no. Bon abapenado. He's dead. If I see a pregnant Asian lady unloading the groceries and then working on a crane like... That's what caused Nagasaki. Texas gone.

Japanese lady unloading real pregnant. She looks at you and you're just like, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. It's a fucking like, Katniss every... That's the ultimate spawn. At that point, pull out a Pokeball.

You have to catch her. You're never going to find that spawn right again. I was gonna say, how many of them are in your basement, Jesus Christ? You have to catch her. You gotta catch her, dude. My basement? None. My basement? White guy thoughts. God. You have to catch her.

White guy thoughts narrator. Alright, British Museum. or this was like i thought narrator all right british museum this was supposed to be like the most pc podcast we've ever done and we've gone harder in like what eight minutes yeah 12 minutes we're going hard just yeah i can throw it nice i am so excited for this one um i know a little bit about your story zero on your story and you've told me your story but i don't know if you've heard one of these stories it is amazing and inspirational of how far you guys came and even with like the card stack to get you he was fucking in debt he was like i'm gonna give up here's my he hit that pivot point in life and you're like hey babe but and i can you tell that story i want to go through each one because this is

motivating as fuck like sure sure yeah is that is that what we're starting oh yeah oh yeah let's do this the story of how you overcame down syndrome was really inspirational that one too yeah he's still in the process you're still working on it your syndrome may be down but your funny is up my guy syndrome down money up You know what I'm saying? Disability? Stack it. He's still working on it. I love being able to say we've raised so much for autism charities

because we just have that pass now. We can just make whatever jokes we want. Fucking congrats on that. Oh, thank you. These amazing people out here. Insane. Absolutely insane. Yeah, that was awesome, bro. They crushed it.

Yeah. How do you guys? We'll get to that. How do you guys feel? Our audience is a chaotic force for good. Yeah. Nice. That's probably about the best way you could possibly put it.

Well, even the ladies, when I called, because I just cold called those three places. It was like, hey, blah, blah, blah. And I waited until the end, so we seen how much money we raised and that they were like, Oh, Oh, well you just go to the website and donate. I was like, Oh,

let's a decent size check. We're just trying to figure out how to do it. Uh, the community raised a lot and they're like, Oh, okay. Okay. Well,

like, uh, I'd still go to the website. I was like, okay. So it's like 50 grand. They were cool. Whoa.

Oh. And that was just one of the groups. Yeah. Yeah. And they're like, ah, well, um,

I need to put you on a different call. Uh crap one lady started crying like and all of them are been super supportive they did we put like 200 or 300 kids through a summer camp for autism with just 25 000 shout out to bunker they're actually doing 25 000 more dollars i knew about all the stuff we raised but like that kind of hit me a little hard. When you put a definite number on the kids and shit, it's like, fuck. I forget we're doing things. Good days. Good days. Good days.

Like, you've possibly impacted that many lives. Directly. Like, it's insane. And it's an awesome experience. And again, it was thankful for everyone that bought those shirts. These offensive-ass shirts, which is awesome. Straight from gunship. When I saw you walking with that, I was like, that's a badass shirt.

That shirt is perfect. I didn't realize that that was a shirt that... Yeah, one of them is just shooting puzzle pieces. It's like, fuck this shit. But they did... All of them reached out they they're super stoked super happy going to the bank to withdraw that money that lady was like are you sure we're just donating this this is for a month of raising uh selling shirts then that lady was like i'm in the wrong business fuck you're donating this it's like yeah we raise money it's to an

awesome cause yeah all of them are super supportive and they want to come back probably help the same people next year and see what we can do again so damn change of families we love it that's good work cheers to that yeah cheers to autism cheers to autism autism but anyway sorry to derail on that oh it's fine yeah talking about some of you guys background because i'll be the first to say like to autism. But anyway, sorry to derail on that part. Talking about some of you guys' background, because I'll be the first to say, I've known you guys for a while, especially you guys, because you guys are relatively local. Fuck you, I guess.

But I don't really know much about where you came from. We've talked a little bit. What's funny is that we were introduced to you guys from Juicy. Really? Yeah.

No shit. Okay. How'd that happen? I think I got a hold of Cody. For a range day or something like that? Yeah. I was messaging Cody about a range day. Sounds funny.

Yeah. I think that's how it all started. Yeah, that's how it started. The range days are such a good intro funnel to just meeting people for the group. Oh, absolutely. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's how it all started. Yeah. That's how it started. Like the range days are such a good intro funnel to, to like just meeting people for the group. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah.

We were, we were doing range days with you guys before, before, before it got so big. Yeah. Yeah. Back when it was like 15 dudes. Yeah.

That's pretty much what it was when we went out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cause back then we weren't like trying to put on a range day. We were just trying to like, I mean, shit, we're already going to the range. Like, do you want to invite a couple creators that we think are cool yeah yeah that's literally all it was yeah and now here we are sitting down together we're cheering breaking drinks sharing autism i love it

is it contagious apparently yeah you get enough of us on the same wi-fi router and we're i was just watching limitless and i was like imagine if it's a pill but it gives you autism oh you start standing really good because when he's like he does the jug and all the stuff starts happening i was like that's literally what they describe autism like. It's like the overload of sensors. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, I need that pill. It's just Adderall. Yeah. Methamphetamines and go. And back to my story with transitioning from methamphetamines. Yeah. Autism and meth. Autism and meth leading to this.

No, I didn't do meth. That's not how my story starts. I love how you left the autism in. You did autism and meth. I did a little bit of autism. I've done autism. Didn't agree with me. I think it actually was compatible.

I think everybody in our business is like, I've talked about this a million times, but everybody in our business to succeed at the level that we have has to have a little touch of testimony. I say the exact same thing. There's a test online that we wanted to take. Well, we were planning a video where all five of us go to get officially tested.

Yeah, yeah. And go through the whole thing. I can save you a trip. Yeah. The fact that you ignored a dead lady for a minute. Put the groceries. Whatever.

I like half the fence and I was like guys? Yeah, I'll just unlock the gate. I'm sorry. It was wild. Yeah, I'll just unlock the gate. I'm sorry. It was wild. She's sleeping.

She's tuckered out, man. Big nap. Very big nap. I'll tuck her out. I swear the last thing she did was unload her groceries. I wasn't watching her, but like... Someone must have been. Yeah. Someone had to have observed her. I made sure to look through a mirror. Yeah. I wasn't watching her, but like Someone must have been yeah Someone had to have observed her. I made sure look through a mirror. Yeah

Very spurred anytime you walk outside and you see your neighbors pull under their driver you pull out a mirror Bro and then you watch them through the mirror and they're reaching into their trunk pretending to pull out groceries, but they're not What the fuck are you talking about? Groceries are not real Okay story bro andy ralph andy ralph andy ralph we're just edging we're edging the audience this is what happens every time we like do anything this is why we can't anytime we do like we hop on to record videos we hop on discord and it's three hours of this before we actually yeah oh my god yep that's why we started uh we started just doing brunch before we do anything now because we know that like just get out the socialization.

Fucking when we come here, it's time to just get down to business. Yeah. Work, work time. Yeah. It's hard, though. Or film videos or whatever. Just starting. Those tangents just go.

And then you're like, oh, this conversation is nowhere where it was supposed to be. Bring it back on tracks. That's why, depending on the time frame, we get director Eli. Oh, yeah. Very much so. And then everyone's like, Eli's mad. I'm like, no, I'm just moving along. We're just sitting right on track.

I have to do the same thing where it's like we're in the middle of a joke or whatever. I'm like, all right, let's get this knocked out. I won't go home. We got shit to do. Sleepy time. All right, can I start my story now? Go for it, brother. If it pleases the court.

Go for it. Well, I guess I should start by saying who we are, The Boys. We have a channel called The Boys. And we started YouTube at different points in our lives. But we all culminated and came together making VR videos. And the reason we got so popular was because we were doing VR videos that were completely out of the norm. Like you had most gameplay videos are like you're playing a game and it's like you're watching someone play a game like, oh, look, I can pick this up with my VR hands and things like that. You know, it's like same old shit.

And you guys were building Auschwitz and Minecraft. Exactly. Basically. Exactly. That's the best way to put it. Yeah. Exactly. shit and uh you guys were building auschwitz and minecraft exactly basically exactly exactly and so you put us in a room together and we started like fucking with each other like mess messing around and saying jokes to each other making fun of each other and we're playing pavlov which is a uh it's a it's a shooting simulator in vr and put us in a lobby together and now we're playing russian roulette and like cheating the rules and like shooting each other. We just started like building narratives, right?

And like just improv-ing and like building out like, I guess, a scene and a situation. Yeah. You know. Using virtual characters, which if for those at home that have never used a vr headset or seen a vr video it's filmed from the perspective of the person so what you're seeing is first person perspective yeah right so you've got a group of five dudes the way i would equate it is like we're basically like a it's like a comedy set but in virtual reality where we're literally the directors and the camera people at the same time and there's five of us in

a room and we're like hey shut up for a second don't talk over each other can we do this again do this again or do this again and we're like retrying scenes and things like that and and okay we're gonna throw them off the building okay the wasn't good, but let's do it again. And this time scream louder and shit. So we're actually like improvising, but also directing the video as we go. And it was a different style than what most VR gameplay videos were about. It wasn't gameplay. It was five dudes

coming together and... It's because he watched you bring your groceries out. Yeah, he's trying to get up. You got like 15 minutes. Fuck, I better hurry up and tell my story. How many times have you done this? He's like looking

for neighbors. Gotcha, bitch. I'm terrified of the day. I'm like bringing my groceries in and I look across the street and it's fucking you with Groucho Marx glasses with the nose and mustache like fucking it's like looking up from a newspaper it's like this

I just wave that's two episodes in a row we've done a cryptid that's a cryptid. That's his cryptid. Oh, that's a good one. That's a slenderman. Yeah, slenderman, but watching you with your groceries and you die the next day. You're like reaching for the trunk.

Just looking around, making sure nobody's there. Just like. All of a sudden the static comes in as soon as you grab the groceries. Oh my god. All alone? Time to trim the old pubes. Hey there, beach babe! Are you ready to soak up those summer vibes and get the perfect beach bod?

Thanks for fucking cutting into my time.

It was like community theater, but in VR pretty much. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's kind of what it was. And it also wasn't anything PG. We were going at it like... And the thing was, we were also making fun of current events. So we got popular during COVID because most people were at home.

And our channels just exploded during that time. We had already been working up to that point, but that time it exploded. I think a lot of people had a similar thing going on with that. Especially with camaraderie-type channels, because that's kind of what people were craving. And being in VR, that's the only way that we could get together, especially because two of us are in Australia. Right. They have the daily butthole inspections and everything like that. Exactly. Yeah. So we were doing skits where we were like, we were playing, what was it?

What was the game called? The other shooting game? Contractors. Contractors. Contractors. We were playing Contractors and we were like in a neighborhood. It was like, it was like a, it was just like a neighborhood map. And we were doing skits where like, Mully couldn't come outside and we'd be like, oh,

we got you a little vaccine for you. And we would put it in his front door and he'd be like, oh, the vaccine. And he would come out and try to pick up the vaccine. And then as soon as he stepped out of his door, we would shoot him. Just unload on him. Unload like RPGs and everything.

Now you got fucking pranked. And so that's the kind of shit we were doing. And that's different than Australia? No. From what I was told, that's how they handled it. Pretty much. You walked outside your domicile? We were just showing them what would happen.

Stay in your fucking house, Molly. Learning. You're a fucking guy. So we would make fun of current world events and uh i think that's why people fell in love with the with the channel and then we transitioned into um vr chat which is another social platform it's kind of like a facebook but with vr characters and people community their community made characters so uh one day like the metaverse like the metaverse

that no one fucking uses like the metaverse except people are there you sound like my grandma trying to correlate oh yeah yeah like that thing you can do on the facebook universe it's like the fucking what alt history hub's like yes jimmy like your game of thrones um so yeah so we were we transitioned into vr chat and um there was this unfortunate event that was happening on tiktok called the no no square trend oh god um and uh it was because of us and molly it was molly hops into a molly molly called me at 2 a.m yeah you can tell this part so molly started an entire trend yeah so the no no square thing was the story okay the no no square was thing was literally point of origin, which I feel a lot of grief for. He's the no-no squad guy. He started a meme. It's awesome.

He called me at 2 a.m., which he normally did because of the time zones, and he would just call me and be like, I had a TikTok idea. Wake up. We gotta make this TikTok. And I crawled out of bed. Never fucking call me at 2 a.m. saying, I have a TikTok idea. Wake up. I probably **** myself.

I'm not right at that point, Brent. Call the **** online as soon as he calls you at 2am. I got an idea for TalkTik. What? Pow! Is that going to go off? Eli! Eli!

That's when you know it's bad when you just don't don't get a call from at 2 a.m but at 2 a.m you see eli has gone live on tiktok and you're like oh no i guess oh no it's over juicy must have seen him well boys i guess that's it just like god damn. You made the same joke I was about to make. You made the same running joke where it's like, have you seen me go live on Facebook? We've always had that running joke, actually. That's a dark joke and I like it. See y'all in the gift shop.

One of the members in our group have always said, if you ever see me go live on youtube it's happening on facebook right no youtube on youtube oh shit if i ever go live on my youtube channel i mean honestly same it's happening yeah and i'm like all right i'm about to do the funniest thing ever and for my final joke. Can people reset? You get what you fucking deserve, Marais. Holy fuck. I'm so no-no square.

We're really good at tangents. Yeah. So Molly calls me to him. He's like, dude, there's this... I found this funny song. And I just want you to get... I have this this avatar so you can just pick avatars they're like uh publicly searchable and like an index it's just a little green fucker in underwear right it's this little green guy in underwear and he's like put the skin on i'm like okay and he like, we're gonna go to this map, draw like

a little square around yourself, and just like sing the song and dance. And I'm like, word. Okay, so I like get in there and I draw this little square and this little toothbrush you and then you're in. I'm like, no, no, don't touch me there. All that shit. I have it right here. I have it right here. It's 10 seconds. Yeah. Oh, here we go.

This is the original. This is what started. No, no, don't touch me there. Big forever original. This is what started. No, no don't touch me there forever This is my no-no square. No, no don't touch me there. No, no What are you doing here, Molly? And then it's literally like It's literally like two days later and like It's like Justin Bieber's like posted like a fucking tiktok doing it i'm like what we're like what is going on it was not abused bro it was no it was it was insanity i got like

800k subs that month from jesus from like 50 i was at like 50k subs uh on youtube all y'all's growth just real quick is fucking ridiculous yeah it was it was mind-blowing this has like over a hundred million views and most of them came from the first night yeah you woke up how many views were on like i think it was like 60 60 is within like a day or two i think it was like it was it was it was overnight the video right now has 9.2 million likes and most of it came from that initial pot. The initial pot. 9 million likes? Yeah.

Brandon, that's more than any of your videos views. Thanks, buddy. Just put them off last. First of all, that's not true. Second of all, it's really close. Yeah. Fuck. Those are likes. You of all, that's not true. Second of all, it's really close. Fuck. Those are lightness. You're like, what the fuck?

Wow. I'm just feeling the fucking heat over on this side of the table. God damn, boy. Wow. How does it feel that he's infinitesimally more successful than you? That was the wrong word, but whatever. Time to go live. had this process of um

of videos right like our videos were filmed with tiktok in mind because this was this was back when tiktok was just starting to blow up it wasn't what it is today so this is this is like late 2019 early 2020s that this is that this is all happening this is like musically going into it was musically had just turned into tiktok and there wasn't a lot of gaming content on tiktok and the gaming content that was on tiktok was just random clips of the same shit you see on YouTube. So that's why we decided to go this like comedy set style videos, because we could take those clips, put them on TikTok, they'd get millions of views overnight. And then we would release a video and then the video would get a ton more views. So we were studying the algorithms on both sides and came up with a theory that

ended up working for us that the algorithm would reward you if you bring in outside eyes, right? So what if we took advantage of TikTok, put our YouTube channel in there? Now you've got all of this influx of people that are watching us on TikTok that want to see the full video. When they watch the full video, then now the YouTube algorithm would recommend you more. And so you've, you have explosive growth, explosive growth from two different angles coming in at once. Um, so we had, we had a formula set up to like take advantage of TikTok. Yeah. That's something I don't think a lot of outside people when they see, Oh, you do YouTube. Oh, how hard is that? Like there's so much that goes into looking at your data. A, just like the, the day-to-day of running a big business like that

but be like looking at your data and figuring out how to manipulate the algorithms and how to do what nobody else is doing in order to anybody can do youtube in order to succeed to a massive level on youtube that's fucking hard absolutely there's a reason why people are where they're at yeah fall off it is understanding the algorithm. Fuck, we pushed Wednesday, your election, the numbers were Tuesday evening. I pushed back my vacation, my two-day vacation. It's flight because I was like, hey, tomorrow, good idea for an episode. And Brandon's like, fuck yeah.

And everyone showed up, knocked out a really good episode. And then you see today, it's one of 10. Yeah. I think he fucking talked ten. Ooga booga, just watching shit right now. You pushed back a vacation I lost, so I pushed back going live on YouTube. Had to fucking, you know, just had to get with the boys, you know?

And then get with the boys. Real quick. I was going to say with the boys real quick I'm gonna take a quick piss I was gonna say with Your one point Because he spent 10 million you spent 1 million right We were like roughly when the dust Settles we'll know the formal numbers but roughly

We got outspent about 10 to 1 I'd imagine someone made a joke they're like when do I get My money back imagine if you lost you had to Repay how much you You would be You would be like okay let's not spend that much because if this goes south bro i got 10 million my bank account or you would just go harder oh god yeah knowing that it's all or nothing this is where the gambler comes out this is the politics i want to see that dude's been all his card that has a whole new mad max dynamic to the whole situation i have a feeling i have a feeling that when this new

generation of kids gets into politics in the future we're probably going to have election nights be a 1v1 fortnight match i still offered like i i offered throughout the entire playing. I'm like, I will end this on a boxing match. Yeah. Dude. Like a boxing match for charity. And if you, if you win, I resign.

I made that offer several times. Like I will just recuse myself. I love that idea. It's going back to like when the Kings would fight, like me versus your best or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Let's do this thing.

Throw down the gauntlets, kill each other or one person does achilles it's so good now um well wait for him i guess right now i want to go back to your like because again this is learning the algorithm i'm telling you i'm telling it all back i know you asked me about oh i know and I will get there. Way to monopolize the mic. Thanks, man. Yeah. Well, you know what? I'm starting to remember why we didn't invite

them on a podcast before. Yep, yep, yep. This Mexican just doesn't shut up. It's kind of funny because out of anybody, we hang out with you more than anyone. Like in the fucking San Antonio YouTube sphere that's not a GunTuber. And it never dawned on me we never had you on before. We just did that.

You guys are like. I'm a pretty forgettable dude. I'm trying harder. And now that I think about it, you know what? I'm going to go home. A lot of people are going live on YouTube tonight. I'm going to go unload groceries and stand and wait for a neighbor to see me

I'm just gonna stand there inside my car Hey! Hey! Hey! Look! Look! You're just gonna go live on YouTube, literally while unloading your groceries The surefire way Oh yeah, that's a life hack Or well

Jokes. It's all coming back to that story. I want to, like, paint the whole picture, if that's all right. No, do it. Because that is, like, the algorithm of business. Everything you guys did was calculated in order to maximize viewership. Exactly. It's not like, I woke up and did one video, and now, look.

I feel like that's most people's understanding of it. Absolutely. While this was blowing up, we understood that memes don't last forever yeah right so we while while we were in the process of blowing up with this meme and milking the shit out of it we so what we did was we took that character and basically associated it 100% with the Nono Square meme. So now we were taking that character and putting it in our videos all the time. And now what we did was we bought the rights. We bought the rights to that character and the IP of that character from the creator. And we then transitioned that character and altered it to match each of our personalities.

So then we made the green brush, we made a baby version, we made a Mexican version, we made a crackhead version, we made, and then we associated that with each of us. Right, so my- Who's the crackhead? Mully. Mully. Mully.

We would do videos in a daycare with a baby brush and he would go in and try to sell them drugs yeah it would literally be like four year old and he's like he's like shooting up heroin

and be like you gotta try it kid give it a try just give it a little go and then we have like the baby versions of the characters trying drugs

like oh god are you allowed to say how much the buyout was for that character if you remember I can't remember

to be honest I remember how much it was tens of dollars are we allowed to say dollars i don't know if we're allowed to say it or not i don't know we can bleep it was just curious yeah yeah i mean at the time yeah at the time that was like a big deal yeah that was like right in the beginning so it's not like we like had but you got your money yeah it was enough to be an investment yeah yeah well because because we didn't know where it was going to go from there so we were like you know what let's let's buy it let's let's uh let's buy the rights to it and let's expand on this idea and if anything comes from it then we will have the rights to this thing right and we'll be protected in case we get sued

for using the character in different ways let's just get it out the way now and put the investment in now yeah and so god that's a hard one like a piece of paper where you're like this green character and actually being like hey it's gonna cost x amount and you're like okay and yo bro i just bought a green toothbrush for and it's just like a model that some dude just made and publicly put up in vr chat but we all saw the signs and we're like we're gonna make we made we ended up like from this thing now looking back at it we've made merchandise from it yeah we've we've made music videos with it we've started a music career from the No No Square thing.

And we've expanded that, evolved from that. We altered it. We ran that meme to the ground. Finally, like very aware. We were very self-aware of what was happening. So we actually killed the meme off at some point. We made a video about it and shit. Like get back in your grave and shot it and shit like that.

You know, like, you know, so we were very self-aware of what was happening and uh you old yellered your own creation we uh no no don't touch me there playing russian roulette with all six cylinders. So we ended up just running it to the ground and we evolved from VR videos, which made us very, very successful in that space. And we transitioned that into a real life content. So now we do the same thing we did in virtual reality, but in person. So we now get to travel

the world and do videos the same way we would do them in vr in vr chat well can't throw each other off buildings unfortunately yeah um yet we're good but now the videos that we make people know us from those times and we've now expanded the audience from just people that watch video games to now people that enjoy like irl content yeah they like the dynamic you know yeah so the transition wasn't actually at least for us wasn't hard really you guys killed it was it was an easy transition for us to do because once we started getting together in person the first time we met, we're like, there was no, hey, nice to meet you.

It was like we've known each other all along. It's the same energy. You're still like a bunch of dudes hanging out. It's the exact same. Which is to the credit of VR. Like being able to learn, like we were making videos in VR to the point where we were learning each other's mannerisms.

When Among Us came out out we knew who was who like the body language because of people's body languages even when we when we only made each other like for once for two days or something like it's just like you just learn so much about people through just even just vr like it's crazy so there was no there was like no transition yeah from vr to real life and you still had the active mindset to do that. You weren't like, and I think that's a credit to you guys. And Brandon, anyone that's still in the game of YouTube, they adapt through time.

They don't just stay stagnant. It's like, oh, I'll just do this, this, this. Instead, you killed your most successful thing that got you famous. That is adapting. We knew it was going to die. We knew it was going to we knew it was gonna die as it was happening and we were planning the next step as it was as we were enjoying the fruits of that labor and and and writing out as much as we could that we always say chestnut checkers that's like one of my favorite statements because it is it's like hey okay this has a lifespan

we got to move on what is that next step and all of you evolve together which is fucking dope to see and that's just like the that's just the overarching story of where we started and how we got here pretty much with a lot of little details left yeah fun details left out but um each of us individually had channels beforehand i think you might be the only one that didn't have a youtube channel it was great it's the lucky and you're like you fuck oh i was i was very from day one i realized how self i was very self-aware about how lucky i got like from day one his dump stat was luck do you know how they found him? Yeah. Oh, yeah. He was told. Yeah. Yeah.

We're going to tell you. Brendan, do you not know this? No, I have no idea. This entire, like, one of the craziest fucking stories possible. Each one of us has a really cool, like, upbringing backstory, Howie. I feel like this is, like, Ocean's Eleven. You're hearing the backstory behind everyone on the team. But everyone's retarded. Yeah.

Each one is one of the 250 we sent the summer Thank you guys for sending me to summer camp For that check man, thank you for that check. I wanna be going to summer camp. I'll make sure to send you pictures. I want all the pictures. Can I get one of those? You read my mind. You want?

Thank you. The way you've been sipping that, bro, I've been like over there like Damn girl You're hitting my drink with that top light-skinned Riz This will make no sense to anyone over 40. The what? The what? The what?

The what? We just started a campaign. We just started a campaign. We haven't announced it yet to our audience, but we're the Fellowship of the Crayon. It's a Baldur's Gate campaign. Are you Marines? Are we what? Marines?

No, we're playing Baldur's Gate. I didn't know if this was related to you. No, we're called the Fellowship of the Crayon. Yeah. It's just autistic people? Yes. It's like our characters are the stupidest fucking thing you've ever seen. Wait, oh, oh my God.

And this is from Baldur's Gate 3? Yes. Oh, I can't. Yeah, sorry. I just, again, I just derailed you. Another time. Dude, those cut scenes must be an. You have a demon god's like, no, I will end this.

And you're like, no, not today. That's about how it went. Not making eye contact with the demon, though. Actually, no. Counterspell. Yeah, counterspell. Pretty much. No, daddy.

These Cheerios are bullshit. These Cheerios are bullshit, These Cheerios are bullshit. I'm glad you fucking got that. Love that one. Oh, man. God damn it. Damn, you overloaded that. Hell yeah.

Just how I like it. Thank you, Tron. Thank you, chef. What a crap move. This is a joke I made earlier. He's over there flipping the hibachi all sorts of crazy while he's putting out a cigarette on a screaming child. He's acting into the flavor. And when we got Cody back,

the food tasted significantly less like cigarette ash. Most of that sake has not gone into the food. No. Oh, you got the one. Never a cooking ingredient. most of that sake has not gone into the food no that's funny dude so brandon this is probably my dude everyone's had like when you start in your youtube careers we've all had different experiences his is probably the most insane when i listened to it i was like bro that is the most motivational shit because this dude also didn't even have a green card at the time he was wait a minute that part of my life is over. Aren't you Mexican too? Isn't this cannibalism? Yeah, kind of.

E2 Herrera. Self-hating Bane. This episode's called Brown People. And I'll just hit your guys' skin. Do we force them into blackface i feel like we've done a skit about that at some point wait actually if you try to be a if you're a black character in vr chat is that blackface we've definitely done that at some point yeah i think we've done 100 i think we had i don't know i can't remember there's we've done so much shit it's harder but no one no one is safe

you know and i think that's why i think that's why our audience loves us is because we're we make fun of each other but we make fun of everyone and everything these jokes are rated e for but we keep it like nothing's malicious no exactly exactly i think the biggest thing is like context fucking matters. It's like, are you doing it because you hate people? No, absolutely not. Are you doing it because you think it's funny? Of course.

You know, we're trying to... We're comedians at the end of the day, at least in what we do. And we're trying to make people laugh. And there are attempts at jokes. None of it's malicious, which is a big thing. And I feel like people... I feel like... Context is key. Context is key, yeah. and i feel like people i feel like context is key

context is key yeah and i feel like a decent amount of people can discern that a decent amount that's what i always say yeah decent that's a good way to play it that's what i always put with like because you know people took jokes out of context this entire campaign like i had 10 million spent trying to ruin my life over jokes yeah like look you don't have to think that i'm funny my fucking other half doesn't think I'm funny like three quarters of the time. That's fine. You're allowed to think that.

But at the same time, it's like you have to know that like this was a joke. Like this wasn't done maliciously. This is something that's done at an attempt at humor. And if you like, just like iDubbbz used to say, back before that went fucking sideways, like either everything's funny or nothing's funny.

Exactly. Yeah. Everything's on the table. Yeah. Like there's no hate in anybody's heart. You're just fucking, you're making jokes. fucking sideways like either everything's funny or nothing's funny exactly yeah exactly everything's on the table yeah like there's no hate in anybody's heart you're just fucking you're making jokes and the way the way you include people and when it comes to comedy the way you include groups of people is by making fun of them too yeah if you want to include disabled people like yeah it's and most disabled people would fucking laugh at the jokes anyway because they're being included yeah exactly you were making a genuine attempt at saying something funny that's what's important and making them laugh yeah you probably wouldn't just like you're not just dogging on someone and just like what like it's the reason i laugh at mexican jokes

is because i can relate to them so much and it's fucking ridiculous and funny right I feel like if I'm if I'm a disabled person and no one can say anything no one's saying any jokes about me it's hard to relate it's it's it's it's easier to relate if there's a joke that's targeted at someone like me which makes me feel included you know you're not yeah if you don't make the jokes and you're excluding an entire audience we had one of my favorite comments on today's episode that went out was man i am uh gay and autistic y'all fucking crush it i'm like hey there we go yeah you gotta make jokes about everybody like the autistic people the the the gays the uh the disabled like your fruits and vegetables yeah speaking of autism, when I was in high school,

I did a game-making summer camp, and I learned how to make video games. And I made a video game that won the first place price in that camp. It was super lame. It was pretty much a copy of Mario, but with a penguin. Yeah. Um, that's, and it had kingdom hearts music. Um, but anyway, anyway, so, so I won the first price and the second place person was going to be doing a speech with me. And I had no idea what autism was, you know, it's like, I had no idea what it was.

I knew the word, but I didn't know what it meant. To be fair, that's like largely a last 10, 20 years kind of thing. Sure, sure. People didn't really know like we know now. So we're practicing our speeches on stage in front of the committee. So there's no audience yet. This is the day before our speeches. And I have my speech written.

But the second place guy goes first. And he says, well, I'm a little more autistic than I am artistic. That's how he started his speech. Fucking gangster. Which, which is, which is pretty gangster thing to say. And I was like, all right, how do I, this is, that's pretty good. How do I, how do I top this?

So I, when I go up, I'm like, well, what can I say? I'm a little more artistic than i am autistic so you just accidentally dabbed on this poor kid you killed him holy shit and then he went live on youtube i remember and i didn't know i was like i remember you fucking dunked on him. That's insane. No, I was like. Well, it wasn't.

Bro, I'm telling you, there was like five people in the audience. It was just the committee. It was the practice speeches. And I remember my director was like. And then the people next to him, the girl next to him was like. And then the committee guy was like. And was like i remember sitting up there i was like what did i say did i say something wrong yeah like i don't i was like was that better yes yes you did you said something very right so i edited my fucking speech and i was like okay i'm not using

that one tomorrow because of the reaction i got but then the guy came up to me and was like, okay, I'm not using that one tomorrow because of the reaction I got. But then the guy came up to me and was like. So black people, right? Yeah. I'm going to go with this one instead. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, that's my first encounter with the word autism used in a real world context. Nice.

Crazy. I had no clue what it was. Yeah. It's just bad. Oh, I'm glad you changed'm glad you accidentally just crushed some autistic i'm glad you changed it because you would have actually fucking destroyed them like that would have been the end of everything yeah yeah yeah and it would have all came crashing down in front of the moment looking back at it now that's like the most like asshole-ish way to

like take the first place speech and dab on the dude that got second place. If your game was Penguin Mario though, I want to know what fucking second place was. Math. Lining up trains. I was going to say, it's literally just counting apples. It's just train tycoon. But you just line them up.

It's a loop video of two trains in one movie. It's just text above that says, which one's moving? Yeah. Math was, I was not ready for you to just come in. Math. Holy shit. Well, I'll stop edging the audience. I'll tell my story.

I was going to say, what's our timestamp, Eli? Oh, we're good. This is fucking fantastic. I our time stamp how long did it take to get here for 12 minutes we're now 54 we're an hour in we've told you about that one TikTok we made remember when I was talking about how we all understand the algorithm

yeah that was what that was just fucking edging until now i'm giving you watch time here oh yeah um but no you've hyped up my story a little too much i think no dude no it's pretty good now now like it's pretty good now if i tell it it's probably gonna not be okay i'll tell my story i'm not a citizen not a citizen okay um i'll start with i came to this country legally but became undocumented by overstaying and i lived all my this was when i was seven years old my parents brought me here so i've lived my entire life under the radar pretty much until recently that I got married. So I didn't have a green card. I didn't, you know, there's like growing up in that way is, I thought it was just normal.

Real quick, I just feel like the SpongeBob, like the seabear with the line being drawn now. Yeah, yeah. You win this round. It's a no ball. sorry please continue i apologize i just couldn't let that one go that's fucking funny no that's funny um yeah growing up like you're a cannibal. You're a cannibal. Eat your own, huh? I said undocumented and you start laughing. Damn.

Look, I got PTS over my last nine months, right? Yeah, true. Oh, fuck. Anyway, yeah, so grew up undocumented um i'll i'll spare the pity party but it was it was pretty difficult um you know parents had to start their own business because there was no way for them to legally work um and so we would that's the that's the way i grew up up until i was uh I couldn't even get into most colleges simply because of the fact that I was undocumented.

So coming out of high school, I had to like, go with colleges that for some reason accepted a tax ID number and not a social security number. Could you list those institutions please? So I went to Texas State University. Sorry, sorry. Could you list those institutions, please? So I went to Texas State University. Sorry. The conference has come down. Just out of curiosity.

Sorry, where was that again? I actually forgot the exact process that it took to get into college, but I got into college with a tax ID number. I must have used a fake name or some shit can't either confirm how much did that tax id number cost i can't fucking remember dude i had it since i was a kid um anyway so when i started youtube because i was in a uh really spot. I quit college. So I quit college to start my own business.

So how old were you, roughly? This was 2014 when I left college. So I was 22. A military age male, got it? Yeah, the military age male. We were the same age when we started YouTube, actually. Remind me, I got a funny... This is crazy, dude. I got a funny... This is crazy, dude.

I got a funny story about having to sign the fucking... What do you call that when you turn 18? Draft. Draft. The draft. I had to sign the selective service thing. I had to sign that. And I have a funny story about it, but we can circle back to that if you want.

Yeah. But so I left college to start my own business and um i was messing around with like what people most people call pyramid schemes like companies like amway and that kind of shit oh yeah so like trying to get people to sell products underneath me and and shit like that i was like i'm starting my own business yes and so I left college because I realized you know for me that's not what I wanted I was doing a music degree and I was like I'm probably gonna be just playing saxophone at bars for the rest of my life and it's either that or become a saxophone professor and I want neither so left college to start my own business and I joined a few different companies sold a few different products and it completely flopped but I was like hustling I was like going door-to-door cold calling

people and never giving up and I was simple I learned that from my parents because my parents never made any excuses you know they never asked for any handouts or anything like that they were never on the streets they were always like they always taught me that I had to, you know, if I wanted it, I had to get it. And that this country was the place to do that. Take responsibility for your own recovery. Take responsibility regardless of the situation. Right. So my mom didn't have any business cards. So I wrote, she didn't speak English either. So I wrote her business cards handwritten on a piece of notebook paper and we spread like 300 of them in a rich neighborhood and she got her first client like that you know what was she doing cleaning houses yeah cleaning houses yeah that's how she

started as well it's either that or construction that seems to be like the two most i i joke around because like my first business that i ever really did was when i was a teenager i fucking i literally cut grass. It's like, yeah, well, that was kind of the free space and bingo for me, huh? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. That was the only space for me. Can you pay me under the table?

Me, we good. Hey, you pay cash? Cash only. Cash only. You pay cash? I got you. Okay. That was really what those rich people saw is they saw handwritten notebook paper and they're like, not going to have to put aside 401k for that.

Exactly. Exactly. And it's cheap. But... Felt like you were trying to sell me on it when you said that. When he said, and it's cheap. Listen, man. Listen, man.

So I was, by this point I met Gabby, who is now my wife. Ten years together, very proud of that. Fuck yeah, man. Let's go! Let's go. Let's go. We don't do that here. Oh, sorry.

No clapping cheeks. No clapping cheeks no clapping cheeks we were living in an apartment together and i started you i started a youtube channel because i've had been i've been watching youtube since like 2008 2009 and i was like in love with the gaming space in YouTube. So I was, I had it in my head that I was going to make it in life in some way through my own actions. I like, I cried wolf. I told my parents I'm quitting college. They were so, they were so upset cause I was, I was the very first person in our entire family tree from that side that was going to go to college in the United States and become successful through that route. You know what I mean? So everything was riding on

me. I had so much pressure. I'm like the first born of the family. Like I got to carry the family name and, and become successful through college. And one semester before I was supposed to graduate, it dawned on me that I felt like I was not going in the direction that I should be going in my heart. I knew that wasn't my, my place. And so luckily I had people around me that were supportive this was people I met through those businesses that I was trying to associate with and they were like you know what you should you should do what you should try and fail your way in your own way right was your family still supportive at the time or were they yes they were very they were very supportive but they were especially my mom she was very disheartened yeah she was very disheartened man it was like it was like me all mexicans relate on that she cried like that

yeah that's what i was scared of yeah i Yeah. That reminds me a lot of me quitting college for the exact same reason. Oh, did you quit college as well? Yeah, three semesters in, I was out. Yeah. I was supposed to be the one that went to law school and did all those things. And I'm like, hey, I'm quitting to pursue YouTube. And I'm just watching my parents do the meme of stress 99%. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 99% yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah high school yeah too much like high school so much I'm just gonna go to war but sorry no you're fine but yeah so I I left college in that way and was doing the business it was trying businesses and I had something to prove at this point, you know, like I was going to I was going to make it because I said I would. I just didn't know how. And I'm just very stubborn in that way. So the one of the businesses that I was a part of completely crashed. And I was like like I had everything

riding on that you know I was left with like nothing in my bank account and at the same time I was working at Target I had I had side jobs because you know I still have bills to pay for and I wanted to be responsible so I still had a job um and then I started YouTube on a whim I was like you know what I'm today's the fucking day i'm gonna do it like this is this is this is my calling i'm gonna do it and i didn't have i only had an old pc and so what i did was i figured out how to record on the playstation 4 and i was like i'm just gonna try it i'm gonna do it i didn't have a tripod i didn't have a camera i i only had a computer i didn't have a desk so my capture card my table was like a thrift store like

fold-out table fold-out table that was my dinner table because we didn't have much and Luckily the the place we were renting had a It was like it was like the place where the dishwasher goes in the kitchen and but the dishwasher wasn't there So I put a chair up to it and that was not like that was now my desk right and so i started youtube in that way um that became the desk but i started it on a table with the ps4 there the same computer i'd been using for a long time to record things i didn't have any money to buy any subscriptions so i learned how to edit on like free software um i'm old old windows movie maker used to fuck it hard that used to

really fuck they fucked it up they yeah when they cheated all the charms gone now at this point it's 2016 i'm 24 years old and i'm and i i thought it was too late for me to start anything i'm like i'm too fucking old for this like i should have started when I was 16 or whatever. But I wasn't going to give up, right? So I still stayed true with it. My tripod was a napkin holder stacked on top of books with my iPhone in front of it. And that was my camera. Made it work.

Then I decided to make things even more complicated. I didn't have to but i wanted a green screen because i wanted to have i wanted to be the youtuber that had like the the green screen and i was just like a little floating head on the bottom of the screen so now i needed a green screen so what i did um because i didn't have any fucking money it was i went to walmart and got one of those fold outout cardboard. Oh, fruit class projects. The science fair projects. Yes.

I opened that up and I also bought a green construction paper. That's genius. And I taped it up. Holy shit. And so I sat and now I had a desk at my kitchen. So I pull up a chair in the kitchen and behind me was two other chairs. And that's where I stood up the green screen, the $3 green screen that I made for myself. And now I had to figure out how the fuck to key out the green colors so that I could have the videos.

So my first few green screen videos was me with a bunch of fuzz everywhere. So you still see the square. But it was so shitty because it was free software it wasn't adobe premiere um but that's how i started my channel right um so that was that channel was called sauce eddie um and that channel went on for well it's actually my most successful channel now but i'll get to how that happened um that channel was started in 2016 by the time it was 20 2019 i was selling cars at the same time so at this point like we had a lot of the similar i was i was selling cars man i was selling cars and i still had this dream that i

had to work for myself but i knew that it it wasn't gonna happen if I just quit everything. So I was stacking. It was my full time job to sell cars and then come home and film and try to edit as much as I could after coming home. What were you filming at the time? Gaming videos. Yeah. Like what kind of stuff? Counterstrike, CS Source.

Mostly horror. Okay. Horror videos, horror gaming. That was kind of like the thing, like Five Nights at Freddy's type of thing. Oh, like way back when? Well, no, this was in 20s. This was now, so we're fast-forwarding now, so it's like 2017, 2018. Okay.

So Five Nights at Freddy's was kind of matured by that point. Yeah. okay so five nights at freddy's was kind of matured by that point yeah so starting a brand new channel was really difficult to do at the in that era especially in gaming when you had like the behemoths the markipliers the jacksepticeyes and those guys that had already like cornered the market to let's plays i just wanted to be like that it's wild because like we're all starting youtube around the same area and like around the same era we're like looking up to the same people like i remember watching the markipliers like the five nights at freddy's videos stuff like that like me and delance would actually sit up and watch videos like that like look at what they're doing here

like this is really fucking interesting like yep yep um way to do it so right before i started selling cars i decided to try some vr videos so i bought a uh i bought an oculus headset and the way i bought this headset was really stupid because i ended up spending my entire paycheck by accident instead of putting it on the credit card i put it on the debit card oh that's tragic and was it like literally in the moment thing like you accidentally all the motherfuckers who've ever been broke in this room oh my god and uh man i remember it was it was probably like the lowest moment for me because I had this. So my studio had evolved from the kitchen, my studio to a thrift store, like makeshift desk in my bedroom that Gabby and I like it was it was it was a desk and a bed. And so while she was sleeping, I had to still record, you know, so dedication.

She was she was very, very supportive the entire time, the entire time. She was extremely supportive of all this. But my lowest point was that was telling her that, hey, I'm out 500 bucks. And I remember I had bought this from like, I bought this headset used, so I couldn't just return it. I just used the wrong credit card. Uh, and I had to tell her like, Hey, I can't make my half of the rent this month, you know? And, um, and she was very, she was very supportive. She was very supportive. Thank God. She like, she had some savings.

And I think she might have asked her parents for help. But I made a big no-no at that point, right? I had nothing to show for it. Luckily, it worked out. Yes. Yes, 100%. But I remember it brought me to tears that i only had four dollars in my bank account and i couldn't i couldn't fucking pay for food or i had four dollars in my you're depending on somebody else

where he's like a man like for your man or especially mexican culture you take care of your family exactly it was like i had four dollars in my bank account and nothing to show for it and a dream that's all i had you had some you had a cool vr headset that's true yes i did my videos at this point we're getting around 100 check this thing out though yeah my videos are on this point we're getting about 100 views which is huge fucking huge man huge 100 views per video like oh yeah yeah, I was making a whopping $300 a year off of YouTube Yeah, man. I remember my first ever like YouTube I Guess paycheck or pay stub was three hundred and twenty nine dollars for the year of 2017 or something like that

If I remember correctly, but I couldn't even withdraw it because there's a limit of like 500 that you have to get before YouTube pays you out Yeah It's right there it's right there it's right there it's right there it could be yours it's gonna be mine i just i i it's funny that you say that because i remember the first time we me and delance were looking at this recently because the ak-50 video that like that's been a project we've been working on for eight fucking years and so like going all the way back to the beginning i remember we were we were looking at the ak-50 video like man we just hit a million views in hours but i'm like man i remember the first time like we just hit a thousand views in the

first day holy fuck yes we're cooking with gas now we're gonna really do it yeah it's just you fucking build up from there like the first time we ever hit a hundred views in the first hour was crazy yeah yeah yeah but it's it's there's something about looking back at all this stuff that's like makes you very grateful for being where you are you know and it's i think a lot of people give up after because a lot of people put it in a time frame of one year and i this group doesn't it is like hey what is the one year goal the three year goal the five year goal and how do i get there not seeing like in six months it's like i only made 100 views yeah i'm quitting right now yeah yeah without fail everyone always overestimates what they can do in one year but they underestimate what they can do in five yeah yes yeah literally right there i think we

literally have a seven year roadmap yeah yeah so, like... We have a seven-year roadmap, but, like, a six-month lifespan. Yeah. Pretty much. Jesus Christ. At fucking best. Especially if he catches you fucking bringing your groceries home. Fuck, man. You're like the...

You're like the girl from The Ring. When I was told that at the beginning i don't know why that just wasn't like super like significant in my head i'm just like oh he said the grocery thing i'm gonna tell this story it's like i just i i just i feel bad that we're like dunking on a trauma in your life but it wasn't even like honestly wasn't even like wildly it's because you're autistic yeah it was probably autism you just got a random encounter chase just cut to uh eddie peeing for this next yeah oh god we do that so much it's just 30 seconds like every time in a boy's video whenever i piss

i'm like holding the fucking mic to the bowl. Like to the bowl. Like. Dude. Dude, homeboy's frying bacon in there. Cooking pork chops. When I did, I saw like local like KSAT News did an interview with me at one point. And I'm like, hey, do you mind if I use the restroom real quick? Blah, blah, blah. And like they're just used to like, you know, fucking people not like me, not YouTubers, but like normal people or whatever interested in the community, whatever.

And so like I go to the restroom and I go to the sound guy. I'm like, hey, real quick. Here you go. He's like, you do do YouTube for a living. He's just like, thank you. You have no idea how many hours of fucking people pissing I've had. Thank you for not making me listen to you taking a shit. I really appreciate it

get real good at turning those mics i just saw the relief wash over his face he's just like a professional oh my god just catching those things with the tv show is i had to always i got really good at turning off mics for conversations it was like the second scene was kind of like and hold and done yeah just in case it's recorded i I don't know what they're going to do. I didn't tell you about – I did that on accident when I was doing the jump training shit for the jump school. Yeah, I accidentally – the second jump I ever did – because they give you a radio where they're giving you commands. They're telling you basically how to do all this shit. So you jump – static line jumping out of a plane, like round canopy.

The second time i jumped i forgot i was like man they're just talking to everybody on the same channel i'm gonna turn it off i never turned it back on oh my shoot tangled like hello what do i do yes so i just fucking yeeted myself out of a sesna with a tangled shoot i was like what did you you learned really fast what you have to do is you pull your risers or the cord above you as hard as possible, and you just kick your fucking legs. Bicycle kick. Yeah, and one way, you're like, whoa. And that's how much you move.

And then you just wait for, like, whoosh. And you're like, oh. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't realize until way too late. I'm like, my fucking radio was off, and I, like, hit the ground. And, like, he's like, oh, very good. You listen to commands really well. I'm like, my fucking radio was off, and I hit the ground. He's like, oh, very good. You listen to commands really well. You guys weren't saying shit.

So my radio was off. He's like, your what was what? Oh my god. That probably could have ended very poorly. Is my mic recording? Tony just said, he's cooking bacon in the bathroom. Oh yeah, I forgot.

You could hear me. I should have put it closer so you could hear me. I should have put it closer so you could hear. You guys have worked together for a while. I forgot I had a microphone on me. I know you would have done it if you remembered. So poor

getting through it. You just told him. So anyway, you're fucking broke. Poor. Guns in your mouth. Just fucking wait. Jesus Christ, man. And he can't afford the gun.

The gun was accidentally on the debit card instead of the credit. Wait, but I don't have a green card, so I can't even own one. Nope, no bullets. The courts just changed that. Fucking hell. Oh, God. own one no no bullets the courts just changed that fucking hell um yeah so god yeah what were we yeah you just bought the headset yeah you're getting a hundred views uh again 100 views a video but this thing's gonna happen regardless you know what i mean this is what i I want. And I think there's still privated videos on my channel of me telling my audience, like, celebrating the 50 subscriber mark. 69 subscribers?

I thought it would be funny to celebrate 69 subscribers. I think, is that video unlisted? It's not unlisted. No, I have all of my old videos. I have three hard copies of that video because it's so funny, spread throughout all of my electronics just I have three hard copies of that video because it's so funny. Spread throughout all of my electronics just in case you ever unlist it. I remember those days of starting a channel really early.

Previous channels I've had where you try to do the sub for sub thing. Every fucking subscriber. Every subscriber you get is like a battle. Oh, yeah. Now we get jaded. You look at a thousand subs, you're like, alright. Bad month.

Thousand subs nowadays is an apocalyptic. It's ramen. Yeah. Cool. So no rent. Nice. And I was trying to publish every day. Day to day.

Every fucking day. Crazy. fucking day crazy every day fuck that while while selling cars right so i figured okay what if i just like i learned this car business thing as much as i can i learned how to sell really well so i i ponied up learned how to sell. I was a top salesman. I wasn't number one all the time, but I was top salesman of the month. I was selling about 12 to 14 cars a month, which was netting me like four to six grand a month, which at the time was really good for me. But I learned how to use the phones so i'm like an internet appointment so i'm i'm getting appointments set up instead of having to actively try and get customers i've set up my i've spent the first three four hours of my day

setting up appointments and the next the few hours afterwards that were left of my day, I went and bought a laptop. And I was bringing my hard drive and editing videos while I was at work, openly on my desk. Also on the debit card. But this time I could afford it. My managers fucking hated me, bro. They hated me. I bet. Because they couldn't say shit.

They couldn't say shit because I was still selling cars. So it didn't matter what I was doing at my desk. And anytime they come and be like, and I had one manager. How often do you think about them now? Almost never. Right now. Weird. Almost never.

I had one manager that would come up and be like, you want to make six figures a year like me? You got to get off that fucking laptop. Well, I don't want to make six figures a year like me? You got to get off that fucking laptop. Well, I don't want to make six figures like you. I want to make seven like me. I wanted to get to six figures first. And then, but he had a really funny saying, and I'm not going to repeat it, but you can put two and two together. He was this black guy that was making around 200 to 300k a year he was doing good and he was he was doing good he was he was his used car sales manager he was he was a fucking g um but he used

to say he used to call himself a six-figure yeah black man black man black man that doesn't that doesn't rhyme as well I'm gonna call Darnell and have him insert I'm assuming he calls him a six figure he used to say he used to say

he used to tell me if it ends with an A, it's okay. But ER gets you sent there. There we go. All right. Yeah, word. And he'd say, get off the laptop. Get off your fucking laptop. I heard you talk with your VR boys.

That hadn't happened yet, but that'd be, yeah, that was, anyway, so. That hadn't happened yet? That hadn't happened yet but that'd be yeah that was anyway so um that hadn't happened yet so uh anyway i'm editing my videos and dream is to quit fucking selling cars because i hated it with a passion man it was so miserable it was so miserable constant bullying like every fucking day but you know you had to it's hard you had to be a shark and take it all you know folders thrown at you like every it was it was a really bad environment specifically that dealership um but anyway so um 2018 i finally 2018, I finally catch my big break and get a video that did over 100,000 views. I mean, that's a huge jump. Yeah.

That's massive. And I'm laughing because it was a Fortnite trolling video where I would do like Spongebob voices and troll little kids on Fortnite. So you succeeded in life by bullying children. Yes. Yes. 100%.

It all started with that autism speech at the game making. Oh, I see. Yeah, that was the trailer. And I was like, I would come home.

Now I would come home and practice character voices. So I'm like sitting in my, Gabby would have dinner and I'm like so i'm like sitting in my gabby would have dinner and i'm like okay gabby i gotta go to the room now and like i'm just like i see why you all get along right now and then uh yeah i'd get to the room and just anyway uh make videos and whatnot, come edit them at the job. And this voice trolling started going viral for me.

So I started picking up on that and I started doing more voice trolling videos and more voice trolling videos. But I didn't know how the algorithm worked at all. I didn't know that I was killing my channel by making viral content and at the same time putting other random shit that had nothing to do with that yeah so i was just throwing shit against the wall it's like oh i know voice trolling does good but i always wanted to be a gaming youtuber so let's put this out yeah so i always wanted to be like markiplier and jacksepticeye and pewdiepie and those guys uh so i want to uh i'm going to put out a detroit become human part 27 even though it bombed all 26 have bombed 27 is gonna be the one the final one comes out wait till they're not ready for it yeah wait till they see this right and then it's like voice

trolling 500 000 views detroit. Detroit Become Human, 200 views. So that's a recipe for disaster. You're confusing the algorithm. And people who show up to your channel, you're confusing them because they're like, oh, well, I'm here for this, but I really couldn't give a fuck less about this shit. It's a very good point. I've watched it a lot. It is the idea of just like, Hey,

if it's not working, don't fucking push into it just because you want to do it. This is a business. You have to go where the views are going. The analytics will tell you to a T Hey, this fucking works. This doesn't work. If it doesn't work,

you know what you do? You don't dump lots of money. And that's right. It doesn't work. There's also a paradox that I've noticed with pretty much all successful YouTubers, which is if we have a project that we care a lot about and we want to put a bunch of money and a bunch of time into

because we think this thing's going to fucking work. Like I've always wanted to do this project. It fails. Yeah. Every time. Every fucking time. It never fails. Yep.

Eli doesn't, the podcast, I can tell you that was on the bottom list of things. I was like, I want to do that. Never in a million years. Like I wanted Freddie Wong. the bottom list of things. I was like, I want to do that. Never in a million years. I wanted Freddie Wong. I wanted to make movies.

It was like Freddie Wong, Corridor Digital, learning from them. I was like, movies, shorts, skits, doing all that, being able to do it really well. And then podcast was just that. The bottom of the barrel. It's like, okay, weird. Here we are. There's something to be said about doing what you love. You have to figure out how to make that work.

Yeah. You can pay for what you want to love. You can't just do everything like, well, I think it's a good idea. It's like, okay, cool. Enjoy poverty. It's different when you have a good thing going. Yeah. Like when you have a good, stable, steady thing going and you're like, fuck it.

I got time and I really like doing this. I'm doing it on the side. It makes me happy. But I have figured out that stable thing and I'm growing it and I have my plan. Right. Now I can do also on the side some stuff that I like maybe doesn't do as good, but I feel fulfilled, you know, and I have a plan and I'm furthering all of it. Figure out how to enjoy the thing that's making you money while also using that

money to fund the things you enjoy. The perfect way to put it. You can be artistic and autistic at the same time. Exactly. That's not what you said before in the podcast. I've grown. He's watching me. The character development in the last

30 minutes has been nuts. Insane. Yeah, so the voice trolling was doing well. I didn't know I was driving my channel to the ground. But on a month, I made $5,000 on YouTube. Finally. Mind-boggling. Now, let me put this in perspective.

After 800 videos of nothing for three to four years. I still don't have 800 videos. This story is crazy, dude. For three to four years, finally, something good comes. And a couple of viral hits come in. And I get my first YouTube paycheck and it's five grand. And I compared it to what I was making in the car business. And to me, I had made it. I was like, I fucking made it. This is my big shot. At the same time, Gabby gets a job opportunity in San Antonio. So I'm like, this is

my time. You can, I can finally quit my fucking job and live out my dreams as a YouTuber. And I can do this YouTube thing full time. I was like, in my head, it made sense. If I'm doing this on a part-time basis right now, imagine what I could do if I did it on a full-time basis. And right now it's making five grand. Imagine what it's going to do if I do it full-time. Like I could double this and we'll be good. So I'll move to San Antonio. Let's move to San Antonio together.

Take that job offer. You keep doing your thing. I'll do my thing. And I won't be at a job anymore. So I put in my two weeks at car sales and they thought I was fucking crazy they I got made fun of for leaving the car business the last thing my manager said to me was I'll see you back here in a couple months give me a call I got the same shit literally the like the exact same response yeah guess you'll never be a six-figure

holy shit that was epic the execution was nice so uh this is early 2019 early 2019 i leave my job and um i was about to start the most depressing fucking year of my life because i leave and i come set up at my new house and i recorded a shitload of videos so that I could have stuff putting like to go up while I transitioned and The channel fucking tanked I'm in a new house I'm ready for my next and my channel just my next video is like the next voice trolling video went from like a few hundred thousand to like Almost a hundred thousand the third one down down down down because i was running

it to the ground with these other fucking let's play videos and i went in a couple of months i went from that five thousand in that month to about three hundred dollars a month and you've given up a career at this point i gave gave up a good car sales job, yes. Because it sounds like at the time you were doing like $60,000 a year. That's pretty good. It made sense in my head. You know, $5,000 a month. I'm like, yeah, fuck it.

Let's do it. I'm going to chase this dream. And I'm watching my channel slowly burn, right? I understand I have savings, right? But I'm still responsible for half the rent and the food so i'm like how do i extend how do i extend the life of this channel so i started a soylent diet and i was super fucking skinny do you know what soylent is you know i was i was very confused as the correlation between those two things not a soy boy diet i yeah

slow motion okay can we get a zero poker face i was very curious oh my god i'm here for the ride what What? So I was, instead of spending money on more food, I was buying drinks. Soylent is a meal replacement, just terrible for you. Yeah. But I was drinking. You might end up like a bread tuber. I was drinking cheap meal replacement drinks. Yeah. To to extend the life

of me chasing this dream. I can have ramen in this. Ramen and soy, maybe. Ensure and shit like that. Luckily, Gabby's a really good fucking cook and she was making at least when she came back from She was cooking soy.

I put pepper in it. Seasoned it up enough it's now warm i made soylent and chicken tonight oh my god it tastes really good anyway so i was leaving living off of cheap fucking food and um min-maxing. Min-maxing. Exactly. It was min-maxing.

After that summer, the channel was down to $200 a month, and I'm down to about $4,000 in my bank account. And I know I can't just sit there and fucking ask her to pay the rent. Sure you can. feel like I'm at my precipice can you like can I borrow your parents' credit card? Jesus Christ. Your mom always gives you money. I didn't ask my,

I never talked to my parents about this. Like I, I told them the story later, but Mexican culture, this is the hardest, like asking for money or anything. I don't know. My dad is so star versus my parents are so pissed at me for not telling them what I was going through during the...

They thought everything was fine, but I didn't tell them shit. But it's the trials and tribulations. Exactly. I had to go through this shit, right? And Gabby was like... At the same time in my relationship, we had been together for like seven years. And Gabby was like, hey, we've been together for a long time. When are we going to get married?

You said you want to marry me, and I did. I've always wanted to marry this girl. She's the love of my fucking life. And I've always wanted to marry her. But I told her, I was very honest with her. I said, look, I have to make something out of myself because i don't right now i'm undocumented if i marry you that to me feels like an easy way out if i get like citizenship or my green card you know for me that's what it was an internal kind of it was an internal battle that i had something to prove

and to me what that was was proving that my family was right in moving to this country. And that I wanted to prove that the American dream was still true and possible, even without what at the time felt like citizens had a head start with, which was social security number, benefits, and medical insurance and all of that. And taxes. I also paid my taxes. Fuck your taxes, Don. Sorry, that was a layup. That's actually

fucking funny. I did pay my taxes, the way if you're watching joe biden you probably don't understand anything i just said yeah he's watching but he doesn't know what he's watching why is that yeah he's just looking at the camera. It's funny. But yeah, that was my reasoning for not. I told her, you know, I want to do this without the papers to prove that it can be done. Because there's a whole generation of people coming in of kids that are also in the same boat like myself that might feel like they have no hope or they have nowhere that they can go and i want to i want to be able to tell my story that's in a way that's still relatable to my people persevere it's always perseverance exactly like there's always a way up and so she she

understood that and she said i'll just continue to be supportive. And then when you're ready and when you make this thing happen, we'll get married. And I said, okay, sounds good. Which is incredible that you guys finally got to do that. That was awesome. And that's why I cried my eyes out at my wedding because that's when everything just came rushing back. That was that goal that was achieved. Exactly.

Exactly. Exactly. So we kept going forward and kept the Soylent diet up. And then you realized you didn't want a wife anymore. You need a strong husband to take care of you. I'm so glad I met you have I ever told you you have the most beautiful eyes no but when you get drunk enough you thank me for my service

holy fuck you gotta warn her brother But when you get drunk enough, you thank me for my service. Holy fuck. You gotta warn her, brother. That was insane. The first time. I'm so sorry to detour, but we had to, bro. It's gonna be like a minute. First time, I fly over to Eddie's house,

and we're doing like this boys IRL video. We're not even really doing IRL videos at this point.'s just for funsies Eddie gets fucking hammered what's the first thing he does viciously thanks narrator for his service for like an hour only what is going on that was before I realized he was just posted up you You never had to tell me. All I had to see was the first time we brought out the 249 to the range and just the way you looked away as you opened the top cover.

I'm like, ah, yeah. I own that fucking thing. I don't even do that. That's the mannerisms of the man that had to carry that for a while. Oh, fuck. Anyway, we're getting to the punchline of the story. Finally, after how long have we been recording this?

Two years. Yeah, it's been like five, I think. Two hours. Yeah, so we... We got one out of the three. Yeah. This is going to be a long podcast i did it i have been watching uh molly and josh on tiktok blow up and i was starting to implement my strategy

for myself in for my own channel for saw seti and it just wasn't working for me but i remember um i had five thousand my bank account left and i kept getting this this idea kept coming to me that was like start a vr channel start a vr channel start a vr channel so finally i go up to gabby and i was like hey i'll never forget this moment because i'm it's it's it's nighttime and she's in bed and she's ready to go to bed and I walk in like just like the top light illuminating and so all you see is like the big

ass nose. Fuck. Holy shit. Gabby, you know this YouTube thing that hasn't worked for the last four years? I've got a couple options here because I only got $5,000 in my bank account. I could either A, go back to a job,

which I'm happy to do at this point because we need to pay the bills and I only have a few bucks in my account left. Or, you know this YouTube thing that hasn't worked for years? I'm thinking about starting from scratch again. Double down.

But this time it's going to work. I promise you I have this big idea and it's going to fucking work. And I've now learned everything that I could from YouTube and everything that has worked that hasn't worked, it's all in my head and I just need a fresh start. And I'm going to feed it through the TikTok algorithm. I've got it all planned out. has worked that hasn't worked it's all in my head and i just need a fresh start and i'm gonna feed it through the tiktok algorithm i've got all this straight i've got it all planned out what do you think the numbers mason what do they mean

and she goes uh she said uh keep following your dream i'm support i'm gonna support you i'm gonna support you Within the first month. What fucking lab did they grow her in? She's the, I'm telling you. There's going to be so many comments. Does she have sisters? First of all, I want to start you too. Oh my God.

She's my fucking guardian angel. That's awesome. But. Like anybody who's seen you two together, like that you're clearly yeah and on the same page yeah awesome love hanging out with you both you thank you for your amazing couple appreciate it the punch line is is that i started eddie vr and implemented everything i learned um within my first tiktok somebody commented and said something like oh i like i like this i was playing a it was a porn game but in vr all right but straight jerk but it was not it was not. It was a girlfriend simulator.

So you get to interact with this girl before you do anything. So I was like, okay, I could use the first half. And your now wife was supportive of this. Yes. I literally know what you're talking about. It's VR Kanojo for all you gooners out there. Babe, it's video game. Babe, you're ruining my day.

Shut the fuck up. I love how you're telling a real life woman to fuck off. It's for the video. I have to count the pixels. I remember doing a TikTok where I slapped this bitch in the face with a dildo. In the video game. In the video game. That is somehow the worst sentence said on the podcast.

Not my wife. She was an angel. So here we are. I'm talking about the video game character. Not my wife. She was an angel, so here we are. I'm talking about the video game character. I slapped her with a dildo and I said, Bendeja, wake up. Because she was like, bro, this girl was getting

on the bed asking me to do shit that I was not going to do. And I was like, Bendeja, wake up. Get out of your bed. And so I grabbed the dildo that she had in her hand and I slapped her with it and it was really funny. And people was like, pendeja, wake up, get out of your bed. And so like I grabbed the dildo that she had in her hand and I slapped her with it. And it was really funny. And people were like, oh, it was really funny when he said pendeja and yelled in Spanish.

So I was like, okay, what if I just like start throwing in my Spanish bits and in my videos? Babe, I am now an abusive Mexican husband. Yeah. Yes. But only on the internet. Both ways. Within a month. Yeah.

Within a month, Eddie VR got its first silver play button. Jesus Christ. Crazy. Within a month of starting the channel. Within a year, I'm skipping ahead here, but within a year i'm skipping ahead here but within a year eddie vr went from zero to over five million subscribers i'm sorry within what a year one year zero to five million so dude i've been doing this for 10 goddamn years i don't have that so Jesus Christ. If I cut you off real quick, this is the level. You went from 800 videos to this point to then having the idea. It's like, hey, I've learned from my old channel.

Yeah. I'm going to fucking nuke it and start a brand new channel. My spouse is supportive during this. I have no – my money is running out and you did this on a whim, but you took all that knowledge you learned through those 800 videos. And you're like, hey, I hey i'm gonna do this now and i am i am placing all my bets on this one and it fucking worked and all it took was someone to believe in me yeah and god damn and it gets even better a few months later molly and josh comment on one of my videos right before before that comment, I'm in a call with Mully, by the way. Right before this comment.

We'll get to that whenever I do my three-hour monologue, but I already knew Mully at this point. And we're in a call, and Mully's going, who the fuck is this guy? Because Mully's already doing VR, and he's like, this fucking guy, who is this? Who's this Eddie VR guy? This guy's coming up. We gotta keep an eye

on this guy. And he's like, maybe we should get him in a video. I'm gonna comment on his thing. Like... Ha ha funny taco man! That was the comment. That was the comment. It was ha ha funny taco man. And I flipped the fuck out.

I was starstruck. I was like, there's no way Mully messaged me. And he invited him. He's trying to bully your ass. And then he invited me to a video. And you can go back and watch this for anybody that watches my channel. You can go back to the first video that I ever joined. It was a Pavlov lobby. And it was the first video that I ever joined with the boys and you can see how nervous i am because you can see my vr hands doing this i'm in there shaking stimming exactly exactly so that's what happened within a year and then i'll keep i'll keep i'll keep the ending to this short but the punchline of the story is this, is that Eddie VR had its big rise

and its big success. It's still a very successful channel, but it isn't my main bread and butter anymore. So from Eddie VR, I watched and I was able to predict when that channel wasn't going to be as popular because of the climate around VR videos and that kind of stuff. And I noticed that Saucetti, the channel that had been dead for a couple of years at this point, was starting to get a fresh wave of followers and views from the VR videos. I never promoted this channel. And that channel. All of a sudden at random. Made $5,000 in a month. Again.

And I was like oh shit. Okay hold on. So I picked it back up. And that. I changed the name Saucetti. I privated all my videos. And I started fresh on it. With the new name Special Ed with two Ds. Oh, that's a good fucking.

Because my teacher used to call me Special Ed. Why? I have no idea. Anyway, anyway. Is that special? I thought you were more artistic than you did. Not true. so uh it all came back to that channel because that channel now is about to surpass the eddie vr channel how many okay and how many is eddie vr vr has over 7 million subscribers right now

brandon wants to fucking go live right now special ed special ed is on its way to 5 million special ed is on its way to five million jesus christ and i've i've pretty much like the vr channel is now just kind of like a play project i just get on it when i feel like i want to get creative with things my main bread and butter is now the special ed channel and now i'm able to do videos like Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, and pretty much regardless of what I post, I have a very loyal following and people that will watch those videos. And I'm living that dream that 2016 me set out to do. I just didn't know how it was going to play out. And I just had to follow all of the signs and stick with it as long as I could without giving up.

And I look back at that moment now where I was standing in front of Gabby saying, hey, I could go back to a job or I could start this Eddie VR channel. And I see that as a crossroads. It was like the moment I decided I'm going to go all in, God took away everything from me and said, let's see if you actually want it. You know what I mean? And so I was at a crossroads. I just didn't know it. I could have gone back to a job and I almost fucking did. Safety net.

I mean, you're like, fuck this. I almost went back to a job, but all that I had to do was just prove that I was still in it. And the moment I chose to start Eddie VR, it was like God said, okay, he's in it to win it. He's not going to quit. He's not going to quit. He wants it. And all of my dreams came true.

I think at a certain point, all of us have a story that's kind of like that. There's a fork in the road where we get to make a decision and we all made the same one. So now that the podcast is over, what are your stories? Well, let me tell you. I'm going to do my 10th piss of the podcast. Go pee-pees.

What we can't do. Is everyone good for a long podcast? I'm good for a long podcast. I would love to do a long podcast. Are we going the long game on this one? This is this is my bad i'm sorry because i don't know how to tell no i'm just having so much fun that was such a well-balanced like we were joking and going tangents in between like it was a well-balanced good long story here's what's gonna happen next if everyone's down for a long i'm i'm down to hear both stories. And then I wanna do, you guys just did wings,

and the boys are going to explain all these motherfucking sauces that we're about to indulge in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Guys, all right? First off, Oh, shit. Can we just take a second?

The cooking... I'll do a pull. I guess so. Now breathe fire. It's a boy. Oishi. Arigato, Kazames. I have hepatitis B now.

I speak English. Arigato. So do I. I speak English Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you I like I learned probably you just through watching anime a lot of us is like oh I watched a lot of Japanese

anime he's also like literally been to Japan yeah that too that helps yeah I just got back we've been a couple times we were forced to learn some shit until you go that like you have to really

now it's like okay now if you get a cold now you gotta learn how to fucking ask for it cause no one's gonna, okay, now if you get a cold, now you've got to learn how to fucking ask for it because no one's going to help you. How do you ask for cold medicine? So I'm sitting there fucking studying Google Translate. Okay, okay, okay. And then I go and I'm like, tell the lady. I was like, achoo, por favor.

Yeah. Anyway, but yeah. You're forced to learn that shit. It's like nobody knows. I mean, it's... It's to learn that shit. It's like nobody knows. I mean, it's a blast, dude. It's a fucking blast. You guys have started a sauce company. A food company.

It's a food company, and our first launch is a sauce. I fucking love this. This is the motivation that gets me hyped. It has to be such a pain in the ass dealing with like FDA and all sorts of shit. So we've been working on these for almost two years. Two years. Like, I mean, like in the trenches almost two years. Yeah.

Not even like just talking about it, but like in the actual process. Which is, it's a testament. Are you partnering with a company or are you like? We are partnering. We're partnering with a company and a chef that can make our recipes for these. So you're not starting on a blank slate. We're not starting on a, well, yes and no. Yes and no, right?

So yeah, we are partnering with somebody who's bottling, with a bottling company. We're partnering with the company that's also got the chef. So we've got the chef. Yeah, yeah. But these are not um white label i'm gonna have five these yeah exactly yeah these no not that like there's a difference like not saying that you're like just relabeling somebody else's shit but like you're partnering with somebody who's already got the certifications and shit to be able to make your own exactly exactly exactly exactly exactly yeah. Exactly. There's a fine line there. Yeah, for sure.

We definitely don't have the time or energy to start something like this from scratch. Thanks for the pain, sir. There's daddy like. But every single one of these sauces has our personality in it. This is going to be the first ever

mukbang episode of fucking the Unsubscribed. Un-subscribed. Thank you, sir. This is real good. So let's start, okay, from left to right. Do we want to do Lee Spicy to Spicy? Lee Spicy to Spicy. Okay, that's fucking fantastic.

And I know a two. They're already lined up. Oh, are they? Okay, this one's least. Yes. Fuck it. Okay, from viewer- Yeah, they are.

Yep, they're already lined up perfectly. We'll start with two and work. All right, to left camera. Left. Fuck it. Okay, from viewers. Yeah, they are. Yep, they're already lined up perfectly. We'll start with two and work. All right, to left camera. Left to right. Thank you, thank you. Grab a couple. Grab a couple in there. There you go, there you go.

So we started a company called Hungry Boy. And for now, our first launch is these hot sauces, which we've been working years on. Some of our most popular videos just try it without the sauce yeah just a little one some of our most popular videos are hot sauce videos and that's kind of how we started our irl stuff and like i mean like me and eddie personally or we just love hot sauces. We did a 50 hot sauce tier list video.

It was... Dude, I made it halfway. It's like... So there it is, Gerd. Which is why we made his just honey and seeds. He ate half of the tier list and then laid on the couch and we almost called the ambulance.

90% water it's called the white people sauce it's honey spicy as fuck honey and crackers so our most popular videos are hot sauce and um we decided you know what we're fine we're we're gonna work on this and it just took us too long to do. But it's finally happening. This is Sweet Sting. This is by him. By narrator. And so this is... I was making a joke.

I didn't realize it was literally honey. Yeah, it is. Wait, what? I said, why didn't you say honey? That was a total fucking joke You actually did, no? No Yeah, it's honey

Well, shit Surprise, motherfucker Surprise, motherfucker So this is Sweet Sting The main components are honey, garlic, crushed red peppers Little extra stuff that I won't say in there. This is the entry level. It's cum.

It's cum. It's spit. In the form of garlic aioli. Yeah, yeah. Narrative passed out four times making that bottle. So what we did was we each came up with. We're going to try our first. Sure.

Yeah, we'll take a bite together. All right. We put together a bunch of flavors that we wanted and ingredients. And we got a chef to nail it. So we went through like four or five different revisions of each of these with a chef. Some of them more. Some of them even more. And until we got them right.

And we wanted each to be like our own. There's our personalities in each of these. Our individual tastes as well. Yeah. Like what we individually wanted for our sauce. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Cheers, boys. This is sweet steak. Three, two, one. Yo. All right. That's really manageable. That yeah yeah i don't like like sweet and salty is my least favorite thing but when you like that dude this is fucking good yes yeah approval actually in my opinion it's the best sauce for chicken wings yeah this is the one that like

it's got the right amount of spice to where you can eat a lot of it. You can have a lot of this sauce. The tiniest bit of tang. We did a lot of experiments with like different foods. Yeah. So each sauce goes well with different things. So if you have all five you're covered. So I can take that home right?

Of course. These are for you guys. You and Eli can fight to the death over it. That's the shit that I would like if I was going to like door dash something to the office. That's what I would probably do. Literally just. Yeah. We'll have a fucking pallet sent to you guys. Don't worry.

You know what would be really good? Like a spring roll with that. Holy shit. I've not thought of that. That would be fucking insane. It's got like an Asian, like an Asian zing to it. That would be nuts. Dude, if you dip that with spring rolls or something.

Oh, fuck yeah, dog. Oh, shit. oh fuck yeah dog oh shit oh he's ready how does human meat taste with there's a little blurb on the there's a little blurb on the back from each of us yep which um we'll save we have chad gpt to make all of them yeah pretty much read it read that blurb narrate it so and this and what's on the back of this is actually a true story so it's uh when i was a kid my grandma called me honey bunches because i was because i was so sweet the older i became spice started to be a more prominent flavor in a lot of the food that I liked. This hot sauce is a combination of how sweet and

spicy, when melded together, can be the perfect flavor combination. That was sexy, bro. I like that. I love this so much. Can you be my sugar daddy? Yeah, man. Now we're moving on to the butt bubbler.

This one's by Mully. This is Mully's. Okay. I like how you have a spice rating. They're from one to five. That way you're not just like, oh, this one looks good. Just start at the final boss.

Dude, that one is good. Sweet stink. Thanks, man. I really do. That was really good. The sweet stink is like, you can definitely just run through a whole bottle is good. Sweet Sting. Thanks, man. I really do. That was really good. The Sweet Sting is like, you can definitely just run through a whole bottle of it. Whenever I play

D&D with everybody, that bottle, we've already gone through two. All of you are under 30, right? No, I'm 30. I'm 25. I had to think about that first. I'm 32. But it's awesome to see. It's that level of just entrepreneurship and then creating stuff like this where you're still refining it because you all probably had a say in it in a little bit. Oh, yeah.

We revised our sauces. We wouldn't let this come out if it wasn't. It's a fucking top. You're like, I'm bad. I'm 32. What not having a birth certificate do to a motherfucker? But I'm 30. Got to kill those fingers.

That's fucking funny. Sorry, I couldn't let that go. You don't have to apologize. That's fucking funny. The butt bubbler. The butt bubbler. This one? Almost like a marinara as well

It's like a spicy marinara Yeah I can see that What I I've experimented with all of these With food This one goes excellent with fries Fries

Yeah Oh yeah And like it pizza-fies your fries Fries Any pasta you mix in Literally any pasta Oh Yep

Yep Also chicken parmes as well Chicken parmesan. Fried chicken would go good with that. Yep. Do I just love it? You can like just. So you like it.

I know. Who has the best Australian accent? I'll do it. Eddie has the best. There you go. This is Mully. In a secret location, I combined the finest tomatoes with rich garlic cloves and sharp parmesan. I didn't know you could be racist against white people in 2024, but now you know what it looks like.

The hottest, most fragrant, spicy peppers and other secret and epic ingredients from the Bottle-O. This is the Butt the butler. This is the butt bubbler. If you consume this hot sauce, then your butt will be bubbling. That's it. That's the story. Molly's going to throw up when he watches this. He's going to be like, fuck. What do you think, Grace?

What do you think? Is Grant's still your favorite so far? Yeah. Grant's for chicken right now. For chicken. Yeah. You got to have it. For chicken. Yeah. When I can so far? Yeah. Grant's for chicken right now. For chicken. You gotta have it. When I can do this. Yeah.

Good sauce. This is Josh's sauce. This one I've tried. Is that green? Yeah. Serrano vinegar and garlic. This one on fish and chips is fucking nuts. This one had a more any fried fish.

This one is insane. You know what I put that on? I'm fucking talking. Dude, fajitas. That was the first time I think I've ever heard Mexican E-Lite come out. Fajitas. You got to get that good phlegm

in the back of the throat. He saw the liquid green sauce and he's like, throw it back to his ancestors. Do it in a breakfast bowl or something? Ready? Ready. And go. Get it.

No mames, homes? Dude. That's still really easy. Yeah. For level three? Yeah. That's a level three. Oh my god. I'm Ms. Holmes. Dude. That's still really easy. Yeah. For level three? Yeah. That's a level three. Oh, my God.

I'm loving this. So good. It's a really... It just kisses your tongue. The back of this one says, I really like this other hot sauce, so I just copied the recipe. Enjoy.

That's actually what the back says. Does it? No. You get a C&D from like four different companies. I Does it? No. I was like, that's a fact. You get a C&D from like four different companies. I knew it tasted familiar. Evergreen sauce context sauce. It has like a sweetness to it too.

Yeah. In the jungle's depths, I stumbled upon an ancient recipe etched into stone forewarning of a sauce so potent it could fuel rockets.

I concocted Gut Grenade using this ancient formula birthing a hot sauce of expensive flavor set to have secured victories in ancient culinary wars. It's fucking epic. That was like eggs or something. Like an egg,

like an egg. Yeah. Tortilla and egg. Oh yeah. Chilaquiles with the sauce on it. What? Mexican Eli's coming out. I know.

Hey, he's not Eli anymore. He's. What? Mexican Eli's coming out. I know, dude. Hey, hey, hey. I've seen all new signs. Hey, he's not Eli anymore. He's A. I'm my friend. Taco. Hello.

He does like some crazy fucking hand motions and then a lawnmower appears like, he's coming out, dude. Eli, are you okay? Are you okay? My name is Eli. My name is Taco. Fucking business cards in all of our pockets are at the table.

Yo. Taco. That was good. That's fucking good, dude. Yeah, man. All these are... So far, like Josh's on fried fish has been my favorite. It's been my favorite thing.

I had a tuna melt earlier and I put Joshua's sauce on it. It was good. That sounds weird when you say it like that. Are you carrying it around now? I want to get one of those bottle sanitizers filled with sauce. Oh no. Let's try this out.

That is viscous. You might have to cap all and give it a shake. Oh, that is viscous. You might have to, yeah. Hit the bottom. There you go. That is the, excuse me, the Mexorcist. I can only imagine whose this is. This is my sauce.

I really, it was inspired by my mom's recipe. She used to make this kind of like roasted garlic sauce whenever we would have barbecues on Fridays. Oh, there's garlic in this? Yeah, recipe, she used to make this kind of like roasted garlic sauce whenever we would have barbecues on Fridays. Oh, there's garlic in this? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this one has guajillo peppers, tomatillos, and it's actually like mom came over to my house, and she had never like put this sauce into a recipe before.

So I was in there taking notes, trying to translate it for a chef to be able to recreate and bottle it. Because she never measured it. Because she's never measured it. I love this story. She's just like, you know, Mexican moms. Tu par chancla? Yeah. There's pieces.

I was wondering, like, what needs to be translated? This much? There's ground up chanclas in there. Yeah. And what's the heat rating on this? This is about a four. It's pretty spicy. Four out of five.

All right. It's pretty spicy, but this goes excellent on any Mexican food. Tacos, beef. I haven't tried it on chicken wings yet. It's good on chicken. I've tried it on beef. I have not tried it on chicken. It's very bold.

Yeah. Not on a beef like tortilla. No. This is my favorite episode just because I get to eat rings. I'm in heaven right now. Normally we just have to drink this entire time. There's a halftime show. This is fucking epic.

Dude, we just sober up. This is great. Do you want more wings? This is awesome. Now we can drink more. Dude, they're so... Does anyone want any more wings? I've been, like, using one wing per shot.

I'm eating a whole fucking wing over here instead of a bite. I'm just... I got five wings for that reason. I've been drinking Soylent all day. I've got three, so I still have one whole ass wing left. No, f*** Soylent, dude. That shit was bad. That is the...

Yeah, that is... Yeah. All of a sudden, you like Harry Potter and Joe Biden, and you're like, oh, f***. Oh, no. You're like oh fuck Oh no You're a soy boy Eddie We have taste bud trauma This is a full five Wait did you read the back of that?

I just told Como estas? Hola buenas tardes. My name is Dora. I'm kidding. This recipe is inspired by my mother. It honors my Mexican roots in a few words, bold, spicy, and savory. The Mexorcist is a blend

of chile de árbol, guajillo peppers, and garlic. I recommend pouring it on your tacos, steaks, or chips. Disfruta. This one is quite hot. This is not viscous at all. This will just like fucking pour all over.

It's 90% spit. That's why I drink it. It's spit and chewed up garlic. Me and Eddie chew it up personally. It took about 10 days to fill the vat. That's it. You almost passed 10 days to fill the vat. That's it.

You almost passed out, but you got it done. Let me tell you, your jawline has never been sharper. That's right. It's a strong jawline now. Oh, wow. Yeah, that is. Brandon wasn't lying. This is like liquid.

Yeah, this is liquid. Now this one is hot. I like my sauce hot. When the Mexicans coughing like that. Wow, this is... This one's delicious on wings, dude. I haven't tried any of these on hot wings. Oh, that's a wing sauce. The shack or

the... Oh, yeah, this is hot. Well, I put this on my Popeye's chicken sandwiches. But here's the thing, though. Yours is the hottest out of all of those, but I love that yours has a sweet note to it on the back. Yo, that one's good.

That is... There's that lippy, like, pop, pop. Yeah, it's spicy. Are you alright, Brandon? Okay, for Tweek and Show, come here, the whitest of the folk here. Try Grantest of the folk here. Try Grant's white folk one.

Dude, but try it. Try it. It is so fucking good. I don't know how you want to do this. I don't know either. This is very awkward. You can come over and ride. Here, here, here. Bam. Sweet. Please, take my chair.

I'm trying to fuck myself up on this hot one. Just a quick sweet sting, because that fucking. Yeah, that one right there. If you're white, you don't like spice, this is the one. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Also, if you're a fucking spicy, spicy one, if this is the hottest one, this is fantastic. Stop being gay, bro.

No, man. I went back and forth a lot. You can't tell me to stop. It never comes to mind. Because I personally love really spicy food i just casually really spicy food and i wanted it there's that level where your mouth hurts and it's not fun to eat anymore yeah i wanted it just below that it's like honestly i don't like spicy food like i don't like spicy for spicy sake yeah that being your strongest

spice like it is definitely spicier than everything else yeah but i don't hate it like it's good yeah it's like you could keep eating i hate it when you i literally just did yeah i did it i double dipped on that one because it was still good i hate it when you go to eat something spicy and your mouth hurts so much that you're like i fucking don't even want to eat but you're ko'd after that it makes my mouth actually hurts it's like sensitive i mean don't get me wrong i wrong. I still need more liquor afterward. Dude. Those are all fucking fantastic.

Thank you. Thank you, man. That means a lot. You guys are just coming out with that fucking. You just came out and hit another home run. I'm like. No, no, it doesn't. Honestly, I think out of all of them, I still enjoy yours.

Okay. White people approved. Mexican approved. Everyone approved. Dude, because I can tell each one with the different foods. I wish we brought different foods. They're vastly different. Fish for one, tacos, carne asada.

But it's like your gears are turning, right? Like, oh, this would go good with this and that and this and that. And that's what I fucking love about the whole collection of sauce sauces are you selling a pack yes um yeah yeah we are selling a pack we still sell them individually and then there's also a pack we're working on stores yep we're working on putting these in store shelves they will be there tell them where to tell them where to go get it if they want to it we're releasing them in june and for the record we're not sponsored in any way no they're not paying us

we had the idea. If you guys said they were all dog shit, then that is what it is. That is what it is. Well, funny you say that. These all fucking suck. I actually really like this one. You do? That's really good.

The spicy one? I told you, man. No shit. That sweetness on the back. Let's fucking go. Because, dude, show. I don't know why this fucks up. Yeah.

So have you seen a lot of Indian food? And Sho would always get, like, butter chicken? I love butter chicken. Yo, man, the irony of the- Oh, go on! Those from the British Isles really loving Indian food. It's almost like there's historical context for why you like that. You liked it so much, um... It wasn't me. historical context for why you like that. You liked it so much. It wasn't me.

I didn't call her out. And next in history, we're talking about the Boxer Rebellion. You guys are slayed with these. Holy shit. Thank you, man. That means a lot, man. Thank you so much. These are launching first on hungryboy.food. Put your email in and you'll get notified as soon as we have a release date and they're ready to go.

But they are releasing in June. You go to Hungryboy.com, and then you can, for five cents a day, feed one of us. So just all of us in a Sarah McLaughlin commercial. Isn't that commercial? So if you buy these hot sauces, you are supporting a disabled veteran. Yep, a disabled veteran, an undocumented immigrant. Did you just bring the right and the left together? We just bridged the gap with bridge the gap you're supporting a

disabled veteran undocumented immigrant and a disabled person so go to hungry boy dot food we're covering way better than Kylie Jenner's Pepsi ad we did it boys well we're very proud of these and we hope that we hope that everyone loves them we definitely wanted to we definitely wanted to separate our brands from a YouTuber

you know what I mean so these are not related these are made by us right but the Hungry Boy brand has nothing so if these are on store shelves it doesn't relate to a YouTuber. Does that make sense? It doesn't scream YouTuber much. Kind of what we try to do with everything. With our clothes.

Like our clothes and stuff like that. It's building those empires. Not one. It is, hey, okay, we have one. How do we then brand off from this and then build other empires on top of it? And it's so easy, too, when it's something you're actually like, it's a bit goofy to say I'm passionate easy, too, when it's something you're actually like... It's a bit goofy to say I'm passionate about fucking sauce,

but like... Are you? Yes. Then yes. I like sauce. I like hot sauce. Now I'm like, okay, I know what each one will go on. We're going to do Kobe's cookie show with this motherfucker. That's what we were doing when we were making them, too.

Trav, do you have the cooking board? Oh, dude. Okay, so what do you think the best one would be on elk? Elk. I have a shitload of elk left over from when me and Cody took one in Utah. I feel like yours. I feel like Eddie's. I don't know.

Oh, what's that? It's a cooking show. It's where all the meat's gonna be placed. Oh, that is so fucking nice. Pepperbox. Holy shit. Yeah, Pepperbox, unsubscribe down here. There you go. That is so nice.

I love that cutting board, dude. That is precious. Man, y'all need a taste tester? God, that looks good. I still have a little egg. That's what you guys are coming down for. Can I lick it? Can I lick it?

I still have a little bit of like Edris Elba leftover when he was on Hot Ones. What? Your sauce is still like in the back of my tongue a little bit of like Edris Elba left over when he was on Hot Ones. Your sauce is still like in the back of my tongue a little bit. Tickling. Tickling away. It's not painful, but just reminding me it's there.

It's just little kisses. It's just a knock on the door every once in a while. It's not like, here's Ghost Reaper. It's going to rip your butthole. Yeah, it's not like that. Ghost pepper. It's not like that. We're not here to rip anyone's butthole. Yeah, it's not like that. Goves pepper. It's not like that. We're not here to

anyone's butthole. Not at all. Meanwhile, everybody within fucking 100 miles of Scandinavia I mean, show and tweak and they've made it through it, so it's fine. I'm opening another white cloth. This is super white people approved.

Wait till I've got a one-liner and then fucking let her loose. You know how many people he's killed by watching them unload their groceries? He's going to go up after today. He's been sniping, dude. I'm just going to say the fatalities of unloading groceries are going to go up after today he's been sniping dude i'm just gonna say the fatalities of unloading groceries are gonna go up a lot after this podcast all i'm saying is that like there's a reason to do like heb delivery and door dash it's just somebody else takes the ball for you there's a reason i unload my groceries with my garage door closed

oh he's watching him through your front window it's like the fucking death note the zip of the pants the moment it's witnessed you're done that's why there's a different delivery driver every time gabby orders groceries exactly they've all died yeah dude you're welcome no witnesses this new cryptid I love. The Watcher. That's what it's called? That's great. Congratulations, you've nicknamed yourself. You're now The Watcher. Fuck! Now you know what it feels like for everyone to edge you before you start your story.

The Watcher is like a watcher in groceries way, not like a cuck chair in a hotel room way. You know? I have to clarify. That's your offender's superpower. You are now peeping Tom. That bitch is unloading laundry.

They're dead. They're dead. Food. Laundry. If he observes you doing a normal thing, you're dead. You're dead. Within 20 minutes.

Captain Cuckold here. Do you have, like, a cool down? No. Oh, dude. That's dangerous. There's no cool down. Post-nut clarity does not exist for him. No.

There's no cool down. He just goes to, like, a fucking, like, neighborhood laundromat just like, you're all f***ed up. Yeah, dude. And when Parabinoculars, they'd take out a whole block all these college students are fucked just pull up just all right i still graduating class of 2024 one pair of binoculars sorry Sorry, narrator. Anyways, your life story. Dude, you in a farmer's market would be crazy. So anyways, Iraq. Did you say Iraq or Iraq? Iraq.

Well, to be honest with you, I'm a little bit between Iraq and a hard place. You're going live after this. Yeah, probably. Oh, man man you came from an almond farm yeah i did about that almond almond farm i used to pronounce it ammon yeah yeah that's fucked yeah right yeah dude i don't know about gay but it's pretty fucked yeah there's a whole story but um no i grew up i grew up on a uh on an almond farm and uh it's the whitest story i do it really is northern california almond farm no wonder your sausage made of honey bro i literally grew up around bees my entire life i could probably throw a habanero at you and

fucking kill you probably this defense i've ever heard for that I grew up around bees bro let me tell you I've never heard like it I fucking love you bro I've never heard a guy that like like this big burly ex-military dude just like casually my tummy hurts the way that you do bro the way that you do it's true no i love it it's great it's a it's a it throws people off it's very fun oh i just you're i i i i'm just again i'm gonna gas you up real quick for your story but you were very just unapologetically you like 100 you have been since i met you out of all of us out of all of us yeah like i would

literally say out of all of us like and i think we all put forward our like true selves but obviously you amplify that for a camera um but you've always just been like you're just you like just the fellow you hold nothing yeah it's love it. He actually, what's crazy is, so he was part of 2CR. Yep. So we stood up 2CR in Fort Lewis, and then they transitioned to Germany. Yep. So I obviously know what that is, but for the audience who doesn't. He has a medal of honor.

My first acronym is Two Crazy Retards. What does 2CR mean? I don't know what this means, dude. What is 2CR? The most dangerous unit in the military. It's only two people. Two Crazy Retards. Oh, the boogie!

Give them 249s, and they are going to kill a lot of people. The two most dangerous men in the world. Jesus Christ. Why do we call him uncle if he's not related? You're the dad about to drop the bass. But please, what's 2CR? So 2CR is a Calvary regiment. 2 Calvary, I think that's what, right?

Yep. First squadron, second cave. But when we got to Fort Lewis, this is pre-surge, so everything's getting set up. When we got to our base, they're like, hey, you're part of 2CR. We literally had, it was like an E4 for 1st Sergeant, and then a 1st Sergeant actually took over. But for a long time, it was like privates and specialists are the leadership in this. Nothing's getting done because it is 20-year-olds running a fucking regiment. Look, privates and E4s just like lower enlisted.

The lowest of the enlisted. They're like, you're all in charge. Nothing's happening. You want to do training? No, y'all are off. Good luck. Everyone's running each way. So it's too many crazy reasons.

Yeah, too many crazy reasons. Too MCR. So it is, we get stood up and then we switch to 2nd Infantry Division and then 2CR goes to Germany. Yep. My unit then became his unit because of that. Really? Yeah. So you're like, oh shit.

You're in the 82nd. You're in the 82nd now. Yeah, exactly. That was crazy hearing that. I was like, holy fuck, that was my old unit. Then they stood up, Shrinker Bay. We're connected beyond words. Penises touch, we dock. Bing bong.

Nice. Now he's in Germany and you enlisted at what year? 2013? and now he's in Germany and you enlisted at what year? 2013 yeah 2013 I essentially like I as soon as I hit 18 years old I was like well

fuck these almonds pretty much especially since I'm allergic to almond dust which is bro that is fucking wild, dude. Wait, what? Do you not know this? No, you're allergic to fucking almond dust? 2,000 years ago, your dad would have thrown you off a cliff. You're watching him unload groceries and it just happens to include almonds.

You know, someone's going to make a meme of that scene in 300 where they throw out the little defective babies off the cliff. And it's going to have your face on it, dude. It'll be my grandpa and then I'm going to be Peter. It reminds me of that gif where they fucking edited the Lion King where Rafiki just tosses the milk. So, holds an almond up to his nose. He sneezes. So yes, really, really quickly. Super short to info dump on that.

You were nerfed. Mom's fine. So essentially, I was born. The moment I was born, my grandpa and my uncle were covered in almond dust because it's harvest season. And when that happens you shake them off the tree a lot of crazy like not the baby's the almond yeah no not me okay as soon as they tell you in a minute yeah yeah we'll talk about it but as soon as they got to the hospital they were like oh let me see my grandson and my nephew oh god and meat coated in

almond dust they just picked me up and started holding me like look at him and the doctor was like all right so what are you doing and took me away like they cleaned me off like did all that but it was too late i was infected uh so my because i was so new my skin didn't didn't re obviously was reacting to all this you know all this new stuff and the almond dust caked on both my grandfather and my uncle. So are they the reason why you're allergic? Oh, no shit. That's the irony of the story. It's the early exposure.

It's the early exposure stuff. How did we ever survive? I don't know. What the fuck? Back in the day before NICU, they were just like, again, off the cliff. Figure it out. He's weak. Wow. He's gonna grow up to make a honey sauce throw this

Not my not my son nobody can eat narration Yeah, when I was a kid nothing seemed to happen stitched up but like as i got to like 10 years old it triggered fuck and as i was because after 10 years old that was like essentially in farm terms that was like all right you're working now figure it out family business so but as harvest season came around they i was i was it was hot, but it was like the scene from Dune. It was just mist and dust everywhere. The spice? Yeah, it was just the spice everywhere.

So you were the original mask wearer? Yeah, 100%. Because once it hit me, you did it before it was gay. Or excuse me, before it was gay. If it was just a slight reaction, I would have been fine i would have dealt with it it was to the point where if i if i was not wearing even if i wore like a long sleeve shirt like a flannel and like jeans and i would i tried to tape my jeans up so when really to get hives i was just gonna ask about My entire body would flare up like hives.

Yeah. I just picture a boy in the bubble, but two arms sticking out that have the clappy things. It's like you're shaking trees. You're like rolling over that hamster bubble. You watch too much anime. Yeah. Arms come out, shake trees.

He's got the little T-Rex grabbers. Yeah. Exactly. 15 years old in the hamster bubble. Technically midlife. Technically midlife. Technically midlife. Picking single almonds. Jesus.

It got to the point where it was so bad, the only thing that would cure it is immediately going to the hospital and getting a steroid shot. That's insane. That was the only thing. How old were you at this point? Ten.

So you're ten years old with almond allergies, having a midlife crisis. Yeah. I can't be white. Yeah, exactly. But of course, I still had to work on the farm. So my grandpa would instead give me different jobs, like different tasks.

Like he would put me in like the shaker. And like, so I would, I'm in a cab. I would go up to the tree. It would clamp the tree. And I'd hit the button and just vibrates really fast and drops all the almonds off. Starring a 10-year-old versus one old. This figure getting killed by a Hershey's bar. Well, that's the thing, which is super crazy.

I can eat almonds and be completely fine. It's literally just the tux. That's it. So wait, is it just on your skin? Yes. So eating them is fine, but it's actually having it on your skin. Yes.

Do you still have a hives reaction to this day? Yes, to this day. Holy shit. So I literally, as I grew older, my grandpa was like, you're not taking over the farm. So instead he put me out in the thousand acres that he owns of trees

oh that and he but he was just like to survive on your own essentially he was like here's the only thing to eat is almonds he was like he gave me a a four-wheeler and then with a spreader on the back for ant bait so i would go up and down all of these rows and rows of trees every single day with ant bait to make sure you know none of the trees would get ants and down all of these rows and rows of trees every single day with ant bait to make sure, you know, none of the trees would get ants and infection, all that shit. So I was like, cool,

but that's, that's the reason. And then when, when you shake the tree or the almonds off the tree, uh, when it drops, so does the letter L. And that's what my grandpa called it.

Ammons instead of almonds. Fucking ridiculous. Yeah, I know, but that's everyone in North. Yeah. But it was funny. Cause it wasn't just us like my family it was most people in northern california would say almonds which is hilarious and then almonds i'm i'm more amazed that your parents definitely had a conversation they have to have more kids because you're not the one and making passes Listen You are definitely the weak

Because they found you were defected Listen, I mean because they found out you were gay A thousand years of spreading ant bait or being thrown off a cliff Is that why they added the A to LGBTQIA? Almonds Almond allergies being thrown off a cliff is that why they added the a to lgbtqia almonds so but because essentially because of that um i grew up with that mentality of like the core rules like family of course family is number one uh that uh always take care of your family

treat others the way you want to be treated um and that was a big one that i that i spend my life with so if i meet like someone new you know i'll treat them like a friend before you know i'll treat you as a friend until you prove otherwise yeah yeah so at 18 uh after i graduated high school i was like i looked at my parents i'm like i'm no longer your problem essentially like if i want to get an education if i want to go to school and get a job you're not paying for it so i went military um how i got the cav scout role though is that they showed me a fucking special forces video and they asked me do you want to be batman and i went hell yeah you got the mustang in the end so you're right yeah so your recruiter fucked you. Recruiters never lie. Ever. You show up for a couple years,

11 Bravo, and you will be special forces before you know it. Let me tell you. They gave me an airborne contract. How many years? For four to start out with. During the service, they'd be like, hey, if you sign this

18 x-ray contract, you'll go special forces. It's five years. It's special forces, but it's a five-year contract. 1% pass to make a special forces. So they got a five-year contract out of your ass. The gate.

If you didn't pass, you would still be hooked for five years. Yup. Infantry. Yeah. Fucking life life you got that one percent shot so you're telling me there's a chance i met the some of the people i met going in under the 18 x-ray contract this is people that just played video games for a living and you're like like, you're fucked. I'm Jules Hart. And I make special forces. Oh, dude. And you watch him fail at two setups

and you're like, dude, I watched people sign up, go in, and they could do not even two setups and they were dying.

Like, Jules Hart. That's insane. Yup. And they're going to war and Jules Hart's like, yeah, you're a crude lie,

but now you're five years in. I'm glad they don't have to perpetuate the lie like, yeah, you're a recruiter lie, bud. Now you're five years in. I'm glad they don't have to perpetuate the lie like, yeah, Ranger school is for you, brother. Drew's eyes are just basically like, why the fuck did this recruiter send me these retards? I can't even stand up. What the fuck? I'm just like, who are Drew's eyes? So how did you go from being lied to by your recruiter to YouTube

so so far we have you're allergic to the land that you live in and then you get finessed earth hates you and the government hates you so I went in and then you get finesse earth hates you and the government hates you move on yeah yeah so did i so i went in did my did my training to fort my or my basic training fort benning did that

um and then uh with that after my basic training i went to go do my airborne school and from there i got 41 clubbed for those of you don't know 41 club is you need at least 42 push-ups in order to qualify. You get to 41, but once airborne school or certain schools have a certain number of people, they'll usually be like, we don't need any more. I got to 41, did 42, I had

30 seconds left, and he goes, 41. I'm like, that's really weird. All right. I was like, what's wrong sorry he's like ah i just arched your back all right made it flatter 41 what happened oh well you know you just uh you didn't go down far enough and i'm like this motherfucker dude so i just did i sat there for 30 seconds 41 over and over and he goes oh looks like you didn't pass and I went fuck you all right yeah that's insane 41 for dinner again yeah

so they they went ahead and they were like I looked around at how many people because we already had like a big group for for me trying to get in and they were like you want to try again at 2 a.m again tomorrow and i was like you can go fuck yourself yeah so they switched my orders to vilsoc germany to be in the striker cab unit not too bad though not too bad pretty decent fucking call you like and that led to a bunch of different stuff like you know me taking a shit in front of uh a president you know all kinds of different stories. That's a different time.

Wait, you guys have like the craziest things happening and you just gloss over them. You killed somebody. You killed someone and you all shit in front of the president. You spent way more time on the fucking almonds than that. Yeah, you're like, I shit in front of the president anyways.

Okay, really quick then. Before you fucking just skip over it. Yeah the metal the law the On the side of the mountain shit the fucking metal that you got. Oh, that's cool. Yeah the javelin metal and Then shitting forever president you have to tell those stories i'm not gonna let i'm not gonna let you gloss over okay i will let everyone out there a lot of military dudes just don't like i've told a couple war stories yeah yeah just because we're just like whatever but i've been in like i don't know i've said like i could say 50 to 70 gunfights just doesn't register in my head i was like oh everyone in the military is yeah and a lot of gunfights until i realized it's not as normalized as i thought it was yeah yeah

i thought everyone got shot at what you don't get what really what huh no i don't want way more rare than i thought it was yeah my my unit was the one uh uh that was right after uh 42 cr came back from afghanistan so that's why we got dictated to uh my unit was nato so that's why i got to go to like poland latvia lithuania estonia ukraine or russia like we just traveled yeah um for sure show for shit but for that one, yes. So we were out there doing just a giant NATO thing. We were stationed in Poland, and we were doing eight months worth of training out there. So we were out there sucking it up for eight months, limited tents. One of the big joint unit operations that we were going to do that day, we did it. Most of it was – everything was fine but the the polish president

was coming out to like as like i don't like as gay or no just like see what's going on you know a cohesion military but well i don't know maybe i don't know i'm always president like hey i'm coming out i don't know what i don't know what? I'm here. Yeah, just in case you're wondering. Military activate. Go. Hi, NATO. Hi, NATO. But essentially, after we did that exercise, the joint group exercise, we went around and parked all of our strikers in certain spots, cover, conceal, all that shit.

But I was like, we've been out here for like six, seven hours. I pounded my MRE, but they also had this really cool vanilla milk. It would go right through you. It doesn't matter if you had an MRE or not. So MREs, there are certain

that constipate you, and others are just like, you gotta shit. You gotta go. We've tried MREs. I made them have it. He made us have MREs. I've had both experiences. Game of the Red Chickagum? Yeah, dude. So at that point, my stomach

is gurgling and I look at Sarn Hampton. Bubbling even. Bubbling even. And I looked at Sarn Hampton and I'm like, Sarn, I gotta go. And he's like, okay. If you hurry, you can go into the wood line hopefully nobody should see you because it was like maybe one or two rows of trees in the in this like giant tall like yellow grassy area so i'm like all right too easy i get out there take

out my e-tool my little shovel dig a little fucking hole and i'm like and i'm just squatting and as i do that i see one black suv roll up and then another and then another and i'm like that's pretty weird to be out here omen mafia yeah you're late on your payments. Is it over, bros? Yeah. So. You just joke when it's a piece of shit. Oh, fuck. This fucking retard's been a lot too long. So I thought, what about it? By order of the pinky fucking almonds.

Pocket dust. Disintegrates. Fucking Now I know how to kill you We don't even have to look it up there now. We just know exactly what your weak spot is dude Oh my god, you're gonna turn me into goop. Juicy got a cat, and the first thing I did was Google its weakness. Yeah, bro, I look over at Eddie's phone, and it's like, I'm not kidding, and this isn't a bit. We're sitting in my fucking house, and I look over his shoulder, because Eddie's like looking at my cat like, Persian cat weakness. I'm like, what the fuck?

Hey, we're just gonna do it. I'm like, what the fuck? Hey! We're just going to do it. I was curious. I was curious. What is this thing's weak spot? It's like this. You're like... I've never seen it. Yeah.

Who's that? Persian cats are not cats. They're like fuzzy caterpillars. They're shaped like a hot dog. It's weird. It's insane. It's a flat face. And they have a flat face.

I've never seen an animal that will bump into a wall with its eyeballs first. We straight up just ignored shitting in front of the president to talk about cats. Yeah. Back to the almond mafia. Yeah, so what's our time stamp just out of curiosity?

Two hours and 53 minutes. Here we go. I'll speed it up. But yeah, Yeah, so that's our time stamp just out of gear. Oh two hours and 53 minutes fuck me here. We go I'll speed it up But yeah, so essentially I thought it was it was at a hill and I thought I had you know decent concealment I didn't uh so as he they he comes out essentially so two guards get out Vehicle everybody else gets out and then you see you can obviously tell that this is this is the president everyone's shaking his hand going through going through the motions what year is this this was 2016 okay so still obama yeah yeah still obama so he gets out though and as he gets out so on a long strip of road, I'm down here on the left. And on the right, there's like a stage, essentially.

He gets out on the left side. And his whole thing is he gets out. He goes, looks around, goes, oh! And I'm just like, no! During the headlights, thank God. Wave. There's no other choice I wave at him

were you mid shit yes did you cut it off or did you just like commit I can't stop yeah did you do a nice wave I did the deer in the headlights

look up at him like this and I'm like you're like mid big foot and so like I'm already I have to finish so I have to finish so I, I'm already I have to finish I have to finish So I do

I'm slowly burying The most embarrassing shit I've ever taken You shit in front of a fucking president What are you doing here? And so I get my pants back up And I just go There's no easy way to do this.

So I just, I run as fast as I can to my striker and my NCOs popped out of the hatch. Like, you gotta be fucking kidding me right now. You're like, I don't know how to say this, but they're out of NATO. They pulled out and we need to... Foreign relations, gone.

Next time you have to use the restroom like is this like an obama level shit or like a deftron 2 like yeah yeah and this was also right after my nco almost called a fucking 10 digit grid airstrike on our striker so hilarious so but that happens um the what was the other story you wanted me to say the oh the javelin fucking yeah yeah the javelin missile the very last uh like training exercise that i ever did before i got out was uh they had me javelin certified so i for those don't know it's big old missile you play cod you know what it is it's a big old missile with a screen and then a wire that goes up in the air and then it comes right it's where they pay somebody

who makes 30 grand a year to shoot a quarter million dollar rocket and oh yeah so good and they gave it to the guy who has almond allergies and shit in front of the polish president and what did he do with it the american president what did he do with it wait was it the american president or the Polish president? No, it was the Polish president. Oh, oh, oh, this whole time I thought you were talking about Obama. Oh, no, no, no. No, no, no.

I just thought you were saying Obama. I was talking about the level of shit because it was up that level. No, I was taking a piss when you were talking about the Polish president. Oh, fuck the Polish president. You're a narrator. No, it was Obama. No, like, fucking, in the 20th century, they spent 50 years as a country. F*** them.

That's why I made the joke about him coming out as gay. Oh, shit. Oh, no, I'd be okay with that. I'd finish taking the shit. I had to. I'm not going back to the truck. Come on. I'm going to have, like, 15 Polish friends that I know

that are like hey let that podcast in but uh no so the very last thing that we ever did is they gave me they were like alright listen this is your final one you are technically certified we have a javelin for you if you

want to fire it and I went yeah 100% I do so they give it they they uh give my uh assistant assistant gunner because usually i'm i'm rocking the mt49 so the light machine gun and uh you guys have met him casey yeah buddy casey he was my ag um so he he grabbed he's rocking my ammo pack but he's also rocking the because there's

two components so he's got that and then I've got the javelin so we go through the woods it's snowing by the way so there's fresh Germany okay yeah so fresh snow everything's cold so we're like, we finally go through the motions.

We get up to the top of the crest of this hill. And we're like, all right, Grant, this is your moment. And I was like, sick. Apparently what I didn't know is that, again, I assume that if I've taken the class, the NCOs with me have also taken the class, so they understand how the javelin works. They didn't.

So when you lock – Terrible assumption. Yeah. Wow. So what they taught us is that once you lock on with a javelin missile, it's primed, you have a minute to fire that missile or it goes kaboom so me thinking everybody else in the unit knew that no uh i was like all right so i get up there i set up and they and my ncu goes okay he says 12 o'clock and he says uh but he doesn't give me meters he just says 12 o'clock and i'm like first

of all it's kind of weird so i'm searching through thermals for a target in the snow nice so can't she can't see shit at all but what i what's the what's the target uh it's just like a like it's like a destroyed tank t-72 yeah exactly a cold yeah something like metal blending in colder than snow that's not i was gonna say the engine hasn't run in 30 years yeah target ahead of you yeah where it's it's invisible neat so i was like this is weird so i just keep scanning keep scanning and they're just like of course nco is getting impatient he's like come on we gotta we gotta fire it and then i see something i see a heat signature and i zoom in hiker it is it does look like a t72 it does

look like a tank so i'm like cool that's it and i'm like roger uh all right sergeant i got a i got a target in front of me, 12 o'clock. I'm ready to lock on. And he goes like, perfect. You killed the president of Poland. The captain's like this. He's like, okay, you're locked. Grant's like this.

That's a long way. No. No. Fuck. But with that, so I locked onto it because it was warm. So I was like, okay, it's obviously they heat up some of them for the ranges. So I was like, cool, sounds good. I lock onto it and I'm waiting.

10 seconds go by. I'm like, cool. What now? 20 seconds go by. I'm like, cool. What now? 20 seconds go by, and I go, uh-oh. 30 seconds. Hey, Sarge, quick question. Y'all know I have a minute to fire this or it blows up, right? And he goes, white one, this is, and I just hear panic in his voice.

They called you White One? His Native American name. Army of Darkness. White One! White One! White One, fire it! You Polish president! Come on, now! Take the shot!

But, uh, yeah, but no, we were we were and that's why never mind out of all out of our troop we had different colors so we were we were white platoon red platoon and blue platoon

okay no black platoon not in Poland why does our platoon have a bad credit score why can't we sign any why can't we sign any weapons out of the armory Why does our platoon have a bad credit score? Why can't we sign any weapons out of the armory? Thought you would like that one.

Holy shit, bro. That's hilarious, dude. Fuck me. All right. So it's about to explode on you. You're about to blow up. You're about to blow up. And finally, you have 60 seconds before it deaths you. Yeah, before it goes.

This is not accounting for the amount of travel time. No. Yeah, it's literally, it's going to death in the tube. Yeah. So after that, I hear extreme panic for like maybe three seconds. He goes, fire the fucking...

Just over my head, and I'm like, okay. So, it's locked on. I'm like, it's going to be great. I fire it, and... It's going to be great. I saw the video after. I'm sure I'll... That's right, you have a video of this. You showed me the video. I don't have it on my phone anymore. You showed me it when I first saw it.

I remember seeing this video. So from my perspective, I watched as the missile leaves the rocket or leaves the tube, slowly drops. Nothing happens. Javelins, by the way, are terrifying because go on. Yes, because it exits the tube and then it drops. It doesn't just automatically shoot out. It drops first and then ignites. Because it has to calculate or whatever.

Yes. So in my perspective, I heard this is going to explode soon. I launch it and then I see it go. Right in front of you. So I think everything went slow-mo and i went well i had a good run and then it takes out luckily really thought it'd be the almonds well maybe on my next life I'll get a good re-roll. I'll change my stance up. I'll try a different build next time.

I'll try a different build next time. So it launches. And after it launches, they're like, hell yeah. And my NCO next to me goes, it hasn't hit yet. Where did you shoot it? And the hang time was maybe about eight seconds that we just didn't see it go off. And then way off in the distance, we see...

And I hit it. It said target, target hit, target confirmation hit. And I went, awesome, sweet. I hit it. And I look up and my NCO's like... You hit the Polish president. Yeah. Yeah.

Special election time. And I look up and my NCO is like, you hit the Polish president. Yeah. Yeah. Special election time. So he was pointing to, or what he, his words, he said, I was telling you to aim for the one that's 300 meters in front of us. However, we're in, we're on a hill. I couldn't see it. Also nothing that close was, was heated heated up so it's all just noise yeah just white noise and i'm like so what the fuck did i hit i'm panicking because i'm like maybe two months away from getting my dd214 and getting out of the army i'm like i can taste it and so we all go back into the big briefing room

and i see a two-star general walking you know those two sweet german hikers in that uh we're gonna blame isis on this one yeah those isis members in their javelin missiles they were decapitated. Don't worry, we got lined up. So we all stand up, and everyone goes to the tension, and he goes like, calm down, calm down.

So which one of you was the one that shot that javelin? And my heart drops. And I'm like, I shot someone or something important i'm i would have been like who's asking is it over bro yeah yeah so i was like you know it depends on what you want homie so at that moment i'm thinking two seconds later after after i, I'm just going to see MPs walk in. Like, I'm fucked. Oops, jail. Yeah. Prison forever.

So, reference, if you're in the military, generals are absolute. Like, anyone higher over. Dude, a fucking captain is terrifying. When you start getting lieutenant colonel, colonel, that is when you as a private or any enlisted other than, like, command sergeant major is you are. You're terrified. I was. I've told it before. I don't have a frame of reference because i'm retarded two-star general i i would give him shit and all the enlisted like why are you talking to a general that way first time general got in we're giving him a patrol of our area i'm up in the rear hatch fucking i'm like hey old general comes up i'm like what the

year old is shit sir is wrong with this he'd be walking if i'd see him just walking out in our uh cob i'm like hey fucking what why is your hat not on where's your hat at sir he'd be like what the he'd be like why is it what, what the fuck? He'd be like, why is it? What? Get down and do pushups. I'm like, fuck you. But he loved me. I gave him too much.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you going in at two star, you're probably like, everyone. I was specialist. I was, I'm done. Shout out to the E4 mafia. Anyway,

but we, so I see that and he goes, so who is the one that shot the javelin and i'm like i stand up and i go that was that was me sir it was all me and he goes you know you just you just set a new bass record with that shit and i'm like what yeah most polish embassy most polish ambassadors killed in one missile.

Well, this was back in Germany. But that's objectively worse. I killed him in Germany. The last time this happened, something very uncool followed. For about six years. So what had happened was that target was another, it was on another range, but it was for mortars. So it was just next, it just happened to be next to this one.

It was just way farther out. So I set a new, I think it's still holding, a new base record for the longest javelin confirmed hit at 4,500 meters. 4,500? Yes. 4,500? 4,500? Holy shit. Oh my god. What is that, like two and a half miles? Two and a half miles. Wait, how many meters?

It's like 4,500. It's 1,600 meters for a mile. Yeah, 1,700, something like that. Holy shit. What is it, 1,780? And the first time that I heard about this, I was at your house, and I saw the medal, and I just asked about it. I was like, what's this about? And you had the video at the time of the actual firing. He has somewhere.

You have the weirdest fucking awards I've ever seen. Yeah, so I got the, it was the coin. I got a coin from the two-star general which is somewhere in my house i need to find it uh i guarantee it's in my old military box that i just keep in the closet um but no what i do with my purple heart and they gave you dude you you you are so proud to be a 249 until you have to carry it. And you're like, fuck this thing. This is heavy as shit. And then you got a 240 gunner or the ammo bearer.

You just hate. Yeah. You really like that weapon, don't you? No, sir. I prefer the one that's half the weight. Too bad. But fuck. Carry that good.

12 miles. 12 miles. That's what. Yeah. Figured out buttercup. And I'm just like, and I had the Bravo. I didn't have the Lima. So I had the bigger bitch, which was awesome.

So you can be a bigger bitch. Yeah. So you understand why when they move me to a Bravo and Lima, right? So Lima is light and Bravo is back pain. Yes. That's why I have arthritis. That's why I have gout. Yeah. pain yeah yes that's why i have arthritis that's why his gout yeah yeah but uh that's why i was super happy when i got switched over to be a 50 cal gunner with an rws system so i just sat in the

truck and just played video games it was awesome you want a cheating system to killing people that system right there who was sick dude you could just pull up in the middle of the night and they're like bearing ids and you just send thermals because you run quiet too because it's diesel yeah yeah you stop like 500 meters before and they're like hey there's people on the street so what are they doing burying something in the road light it up cool meanwhile abdul's just trying to put a time capsule for like... A picture of my family lineage in the street where I was born. In 20 years, they'll look back on this moment fondly. This street, they move too fast.

I need oil. I will protect the kids in this neighborhood. Put a speed bump right here. Speed bump here. These hummers are much too fast. They see a Humvee, he's got a radar gun. These hummers are much too fast. They see a humvee, he's got a speed, he's got a rate of recovery. Much too quick, much too quick.

Put in a speed bump. For the longest time, I thought that... He hit Mohammeds at play. Shit. For the longest time, I thought that slow kids at play meant that there was like some really slow kids I got out and then after I after that I was like alright time to finally use this fucking GI Bill that I've you know worked so hard for whatever um and i was like okay well i've always been uh i've always wanted to do like voice acting or stuff with cameras like video photography videography i really i really wanted to do something for nat geo so i wanted to just travel and take videos and photos it was really

cool so and then a tenth of poland's leadership later you're able to it wasn't until uh three quarters in i found out there was a job called combat photographer and i'm like no fucking way so show up at civvies and be home by one whatever so literally a job in the military right oh man but i i got out and so i went back to sacramento so i was like i'm gonna start this film degree so i moved to sacramento did that i was i was like i'm gonna get at least a bachelor's like i'm gonna make some cool movies it'll be great turns out halfway into my bachelor's my four-year bachelor's degree school shuts down because the school was embezzling so word all right shit they're apparently they're making some shady deals as well with some uh other people that

were donating their money to keep the school running god bless for profit so and what they did afterwards is they were like you you have two options you can either a transfer your credits and you'll keep all of them just go to a different one of our schools. Or we will give you $3,000 as an I'm sorry and you can – you just sign this paper and you'll leave. Or no, it's $5,000. My bad. If they're making you that offer, that means they're worried about worse. Yes. Yeah.

Because in that contract that most of my friends signed, instead of just trying to go to the other schools um in that clause in the clause inside that contract it said no matter what you cannot sue us yeah you just got stormy daniels which as it turns out isn't the end either. So everybody got like, hooray, they got five grand, but they had like $30,000 to $45,000 in debt from their student loans.

Because that means their attorneys were like, this is a good deal. Please make them take it. Exactly. And it's students, so they're going to be like, oh, fuck yeah. Anybody with above a room temperature IQ fucking immediately recognizes that for what it is. Yeah yeah so that's why i was like i still want this degree and like that i i actually was one of the people that for one reason actually read the contract so i went i just want to go ahead and you know i'll can i want to get the bachelor's i really do so i looked at all the other art institutes that were still working.

Every single one on the West Coast shut down. Every one. I know the ones in Austria don't have a really good track record. Not the best, but they're trying. They at least have one mulligan. One. They have one. one mulligan. One. They have one. You're not going to make it, kid.

I hate the jewels! Our bad. Our bad. Our purpose is like, So the closest one that was still working was Dallas. And I was like, shit, I guess that's my only option. So I got in my car, packed everything I could in my car. My grandparents had their trailer that they would pull when they would go camping.

They put all of my stuff into that trailer and then me and my mom drove with my grandparents we all drove all the way from northern california to dallas and it took three days so we drove there set myself i was i was set up with a single bed half bath apartment and so i moved in and i start i continued school until the final just like eddie the final semester and then covet hit and shut the school down but luckily before that happened i was going through vr chat because as i was doing this film degree i still wanted to practice voices this is crazy too i love this it's so good yours is like i'm gonna start this thing because what year

did you start your youtube career uh oh god 2019 yeah 2019 is the first time i ever saw you yeah yeah 2019 so it was like i got out of the military 2017 did did uh yeah did that for two years and then almost done or two or three years then almost done and then when i got to the last thing i had to do was just the my senior project that was it but i was chilling in vr chat and i would be i would pick the smallest uh characters that I could find. Because it'd be really funny to see a little Pichu bird looking thing. Oh, look at this little guy. And I'd be like, hey, how you doing?

The tiniest little Pikachu that is on a counter so it can talk to people. Yeah. I'm just thinking the me canyon. You've got a nice little type of name. For the audience at home, this is the game I was talking about earlier, VR Chat, where you can go into a

community-made level. It could be a courtroom or a bedroom or a fucking theme park. It's public lobbies literally just for you to role play and or chat. Yeah, and you can pick any skin you want, like Kermit the Frog or fucking anything. I'm going to Kermit.

Yeah, exactly. Or a gay little green brush that sinks No-No Square. That is an option. Yeah, so that's the game. Sorry, that's all. No, you you got through that one you got through that one but like Eddie was saying we triggered a memory on that

that's one of the funniest VR chat clips I've seen what Eddie was saying yeah that was the game and I just liked it because it was live feedback so if I was working on impressions or anything like that people would either tell me oh that was really good that was really funny or you suck yeah so i practiced the real feedback yeah so as i was doing that josh and molly were making

a video and this is when they were like first starting out and they walked in they saw me entertaining people and doing like my narrator spiel and i would be like i would have like i had a snowball a blue yeti mic usb super shitty quality and i was just like hello everyone welcome and i would put on music and i would be like i i had a terrible day today but you made it but like just stuff like that yeah and i think it was struggalos i talked about which is a kevin hart joke which is hilarious but they walked in they thought it was funny and they're like hey do you mind if we put you on a youtube video of ours and i was you're really funny and i was like yeah just tell me the channel and i'll keep an eye out for it and see what happens and then a couple days later they posted it.

And I was like, wow, that's so cool. I'm in a, I'm in a YouTube video. This is so awesome. So I commented and it was like, Hey, this is the little Pikachu bird narrator guy. Just wanted to say thanks for putting me in. And it was really fun. And like 30 minutes later, I think I get a comment. It was like 30 minutes to an hour. I get a comment and it was just like, you were super funny. We should do more stuff together. And so I replied quickly. I was like, yeah,

no problem. And because they saw I was replying, they're like, okay, they're on. So they quickly messaged me a discord link. I got a discord and they deleted the comments. So no one would,

you know, so we all added each other on discord. You got friends. If you use the Wayback Machine, you could probably find the link to the private Discord. Yep. Probably. Which no longer exists because we've covered our trash.

Oh, we did. On a yearly basis. On a yearly basis. Which means if you use the Wayback Machine... This is way back in 2019, but this is a 22nd clip of narrator um and you had this primed and ready this is well i was looking it up just now yeah i do have it primed and ready because this is this is one this is one of the clips that like blew up with with him in it is

it the abcs yes it's the abcs and it is it's it's you guys are all so cute we were all going to thank you we were all going into public lobbies and shit and doing things that would... If anything funny happened, we'd put it on TikTok. So this is a narrator talking to a girl. Damn, baby, look at you. Listen, I know you may get this a lot. You are beautiful. Girl, I can sing my ABCs to you.

See, I'll give you an a because you're awesome a b because you're beautiful a c because you're confident and i'll give you this d because you deserve it and i go is that a yes and she's like all right fine i just yell i just yell she wants the d and everyone clapped yeah and that was the tiktok! And everyone clapped. And that was the TikTok. And then everyone clapped. And then everyone clapped. And that's how you're a narrator. That's how I was super etched into.

But yeah, after the school shut down. And so I was... But at that point, right before it shut down, I was at 100,000 subscribers thanks to the boys. Because they were like, buy a VR headset. We're going to make videos. You're in film school. You know how to edit yeah let's do this shit and i was like bet so i did that when the school shut down i was like i have two options either a go back to like best buy get a regular job again or try to do absolutely nothing but grind this youtube stuff i also do have the record for most Polish emissaries in the German...

So if anyone needs anything... I could probably hit Poland from here. So... 5,000 meters may not sound like a lot to you, however... But with that... Oh my god. So as that happened... ABCs, my lady, always be

conquering Poland. See me live on YouTube. Someone's gonna start to destroy Poland! What? With all the... Always blitzkrieg. I always have my A for arsenal.

Jesus Christ. Oh, man. Poor Poland. Poor Poland. They're doing fine now. Yeah, they're alright. Since the narrator left the fucking military. They're safer now. They've had time to recover yeah they caught their breath and you're so you took off like comparative you like yes when they're like landed and you're like and because how long did you take between you starting versus them finding i they so they found me uh and after that

they were like buy a vr headset make a youtube channel start it now and i went okay within i think two months i had a hundred thousand subscribers brandon from nothing a hundred thousand subscribers in two months when you've never done youtube oh i know that that fucking bothers me frankly i'm pissed it took me eight years for the three years i think it took three years for me to go from zero subscribers to uh i think 10 000 yeah that sounds about right and then from like 18 000 to 2 million i think took me another three years and it just kind of shows like how much like you could just try and try and try and try and then when you find your formula like you find find something yeah that takes off that's the thing you just gotta have like keep dedicating yourself to because that's the thing that's

gonna go on yeah yeah people so we we did that uh after i hit 100 000 and that's when the school shut down so i went all right i have a choice either a work at best buy and try and do this on the side and see how well it does or i just say go balls to the wall do this absolutely nothing but for a month so i would i started doing that where i would record with molly and josh at like 10 11 p.m and then because i was you know i was the the newer up-and-coming guy i was hungry and i was like also because of the time difference i I was like, I have to post before them. I have to. And that was my mindset at the time.

So I was like, if I get my video out first, maybe I'll get more views than what I do. So I'm like, let's try it out. So I would record from 11 to noon or noon, Jesus, 11 to midnight or 11 to one. And then I would just stay up all night editing myself. And then early morning I would post the video and then I would knock out for the rest of the day. I became a vampire. Yeah.

So I did that for the first month. I made just enough money to pay for my super shitty ass apartment and I could afford top ramen for, for two. You got top ramen, dude. Yeah. Damn boy flavor. You don't need to fucking flex on the rest of us.

No, no stolen for this guy. No. So I survived off of one month of doing YouTube. It was hard. You're wrong. My man's on a liquid diet after years. it was hard your dream's like you're wrong my man's on a liquid diet

after years and I'm just like wow meanwhile the rest of us are on a liquid diet after succeeding I think it's interesting

because once we all met each other like yeah we all have these stories right but we wouldn't be where we are without each other

yeah 100% without each other. Yeah, 100%. Without each other. And I can pinpoint the moment for each of us when, like, for example, for you, when we sat down with you and we're like, okay, look, there's this formula that we can follow. start featuring you particularly in the VR videos and having you be a part of the thumbnail and title and revolve the content around your talent and promote you in that way, your individual channel would... It was wildly... It was wildly strategized.

Everything was strategized. And it was the same thing for him, which we'll get to. But everything was calculated in a way. And we would like... We're looking at each other's analytics and being like, okay, well, you're here and you're here and you're here. him which we'll get to but yeah it was it was everything was calculated in a way and and they we would like we're looking at each other's analytics and being like okay well you're here and you're here and you're here right now we have a trending clip with you how about in the next three videos we feature you and we try to format some skits around you and try to get another viral clip and grow your channel because it's right here. We were the successful people all do the same thing.

How many people push back against that formula is fucking ridiculous. We try to help people and they're like no. We were doing that and fucking having so much fun doing it on top of it. It's funny because the comments would be like why are they bullying Juicy?

Why are they? It would be a video of me like walking why are you like because it would be a video it would be a video of me like walking we're just like in a house we're in a house and i'm beating the out of him and he always beat the shit out of me in vr and people genuinely started like like picking a side i think they're like but but what they didn't know is that it was all it was all planned by him yeah he was he was like he knew that that shit would would be like what would drive about it he knew he knew what would drive the content and it would be him getting bullied by me so he would be like hey i need you to hit me hit me harder and it's

like it's we are bro what do you mean hit you harder there's like yeah because i'm like two thirds of the comments on my last video were about that part where you came out of prison and then instantly beat the shit out of me so let's try to do something like that again like yeah keep that conversation going you know yeah as it should be it's yeah dude people fight against what works and what doesn't because man it's uh egos are the hardest thing to check in the content creation no it's not gonna work it's like but you can still do what you're doing and and strategize exactly because like we were still all posting on our own individual channels but we were all coming together and going like by the way like because it was at the beginning it was like five

different perspectives of the same video sometimes but we were all like we're all doing this because we know like if we throw you know juicy in this scenario with eddie where he beats it's gonna help him it's gonna help him and we were all doing that so we would do that to the point where certain videos like we would all do the same video from five different perspectives on each of our channels but we knew that one of like one video would help out one of us and in turn would grow all of us yeah because i mean you have literally five videos from this like up and coming group all coming out and it's the same session yeah same video from five different perspectives super interesting yeah and that was every time and because because this meme was because this meme was so powerful the characters that we built around it were so viral that we could post the same video five

different times from five different perspectives from each of our individual channels and it would bang across all five yeah and we all had our like little snippets we all had our own personal ways of because we all still edited our individual videos yeah everyone would get something pretty much like there would be so little different the end pretty much we all edited our own videos yeah and the end means it'd be different the end when he when he says the end we were posting individually and transitioning into the main we transitioned into we finally decided you know what we're going to build a company around this we're going to come together let's build the boys as a company and that's that's there's now a boys the boys channel which now has struggling five million subscribers so obviously yeah there's a go fund there's a go fund me in the description

yeah which is funny because it reminds me a lot of the ways that we've done unsub is like all of us were independently successful in our own ways like you know me cody you like we all just had our own thing going on and you know we we brought in nick like who was obviously like the next up-and-comer and instead of like like what you guys were talking about earlier instead of seeing like a challenge like oh well nobody else can concede can can succeed in this space it's like no there's no ego it's like yeah you're doing fucking great man here's how you can continue to do that yeah also can we help you can we bring yeah that's exactly rising a rising tide's gonna raise all ships yeah the way that we the way that yeah The way that we saw it in our philosophy was like, hey, you know what? If we can create this new genre of making videos that – because we were getting copied left and right by other creators as well.

You guys are so original in the format. That's what matters. You guys work together. And if we can help Juicy rise from zero to a million and Narrator rise from zero to a million and everyone just build up. It's the integrity of the whole ship. The whole platform. We're raising the tide for the entirety of the platform and we all will benefit from it. It's kind of like that old saying that it's kind of like a little fruity but it bears some actual wisdom is you know there's enough room

under the sun for everybody yeah yeah the fact that i'm succeeding isn't taking anything away from you yeah and we never we never ever went after anyone who used our videos in any way shape or form you let them because that like that that's like a community thing. They're also building that genre as well. And bringing more eyes to it. What we actually do, we upload our raw footage for people to edit. You can do whatever with our clips. We have that. If you want to do clips.

That's cool. That's awesome. It's just up on the internet where it's like, hey, go have fun. Fucking edit. All we require is you tag us. So that way you can do whatever. Put it on your own fucking channel yeah we don't care makes money like yeah definitely eclipse channels and stuff like that and jre clips yeah it's crazy it works well because and and people are i mean people are passionate also about your content are incentivized

on top of it so it's like they have the consent from you of like oh i can do this and i'm not gonna get struck down you know how many people have found their favorite podcasters just because they found clips on the internet oh i mean that's i feel like that's how you find everyone yeah yeah i thought about you guys before like there's no egos before i even knew you guys just like hey everyone it's friendships that work together and they're more successful you could have either if if let's say Eddie was like, you're like, this is mine. None of this would have happened. Instead you're like, yo, Hey, these guys are great.

I can get together as a brand. And I mean, it carries over and everything we do. Cause we, despite like, obviously there's people in the group that have always been bigger than other people in the group. Yeah. And some by like pretty big magnitudes, but split everything evenly and we always have i mean i mean exactly evenly and that has never been a question which has always led to a point of contention within you two like have you guys ever like thought about that no you ever wanted to fight

just always actually you know now you mention it. Yeah. Do you got any gloves? We got some soccer boppers at the garage. Funny enough, I actually have somebody that can train both of you. You know, you can let them eat each other. It'll be no. It's genuinely over. Now that I'm done with the campaign, do you want to go back to boxing every week?

I would fucking love that so much. All I want to do is train. I've gotten fat and just slapped. I just want to go back to fighting every week oh i would fucking love that so much i've gotten fat and just slap i just i want to go back what are you talking about dude you're the buffest motherfucker i know no no i need to go back to actually fighting every week because i felt so fucking good when we were doing that like after even after the fight was over with like last year i felt the best when i was boxing like two times two three times a week dude your cardio is good you like lose a lot of weight really quick you're like oh god yeah nope and then you feel like you can defend yourself no matter what like i just hit a mother in the face before i always thought like in a bar fight i'm like i know how to punch and then i like started boxing the first two weeks i'm like i don't know how to punch

after like you you fight somebody who knows what they're doing you're like I don't know how to punch. I'm going to get my ass shit out of me. It's been in a couple of our fights, but after you fight somebody who knows what they're doing, you're like, oh, fuck. This guy can do whatever he wanted, and I can just stop him. This is terrifying. And then you just keep leveling up,

and then you're like, hey, I'm really comfortable. You just smile when you fight. That's when you're comfortable. You're like, ha, please swing at me. I fucking hate it whenever we're like, we're sparring and then I just see you just do like, I'm watching you do like Zach Galifianakis where like 8,000 equations are going past your head. I'm like,

oh, Eli's about to hurt me. I can push now. It's great. Step one, move to the left. Step two, discombobulate. We're going to do the last segment, which is your story. Oh, shit. And then we're going to wrap up this podcast.

Because what are we at? This is already our longest podcast. Is it actually? Oh, yeah. By like an hour. Really? I can't wait to see how this does, though. Because this is also like testing that algorithm.

Yeah, it's experiment. Speaking of algorithms. Dude, if YouTube's like, if this one just goes like one of 10 and then outpaces everything, it's like, fuck. We're going to have a very different job. Dude, we got an eight-hour podcast on the way.

We just here for a day. 24-hour podcast. Would anyone like a beverage? I'll take a beverage would I be able to get another one of these? what is the book of juicy? fuck it's an encyclopedia so it all started

I was born in Florida central Florida. With an algae allergy. Just allergic to grass. Yeah, so. So Orlando. I was born in a town called Melbourne. Okay, yeah, actually, yeah, I've been there.

Why? Because a buddy, an old business partner of mine used to live there. That's fucked. Yeah, nobody goes there that's really weird i've never met one person in my life who's been to melbourne i've been told before i'm east coast fake so thank you fuck um yeah so that's where i'm from i have literally lived there my whole life until youtube started taking off and And then I moved out of there, moved to Tampa. So I live in Tampa now.

Yeah, I grew up in Melbourne and I started YouTube. My first YouTube channel was actually April of 2008. Oh, wow. Holy fuck. Yeah. So I was 10 when I made my first YouTube channel. How old are you now? 25.

Yeah, I could have done that quick math, but yeah. Yeah, yeah. Podcast math. Yeah, my first YouTube channel, I was in sixth grade, you know 25 yeah i could have done that quick math but yeah yeah yeah podcast math yeah my my first youtube channel i was in sixth grade which would have been like a god 2006 2007 yeah so it was about the same time yeah yeah and uh i initially started doing like super mario 64 speed runs so i like literally like propping up my fucking like digital camera with like my 15 fps video and like just uploading super mario 64 speed runs over and over again um you're a summoning salt guy i love summoning salt i have i have fucking seen that coming i have notifications on something so

dude one of the best youtube so good so what was the first thing that really like kicked off yeah so i started doing animation when i was like 12 okay um and that was yeah that was around like 2010 and it was like source filmmaker tf2 animation stuff like that yeah and i was like 12 and i had a video get youtube poop level kind of i made probably 100 youtube poops yeah and windows movie maker like fucking it was that was literally what initially drew me into youtube um and yeah so i had this animation video get 300 000 views in 2010 that's fucking insane dude this is 2010 for reference you're freddie wong i think was at the top of the game with maybe just cresting 10 million subs and that was peak yeah so that was fucking

incredible back yeah rocket jump and all them they were way yeah that is the most subscribed channel is 10 million views right now it's like 280 million yeah it was nothing like how it is now like it was such a niche thing that like to have a youtube account was a niche thing yeah exactly and um so before then i had actually so before when they rolled out the first adsense program you had to have like credentials but i was like 11 when i signed up for it i'm telling you the youtube analytics lie to you dude so So you had to have these, like, crazy credentials before. And I made this account. I found, like, a forum post about how to, like, game it.

Because it was the first iteration of YouTube, like, monetization. And I made this account on this, like, doctor's registry website. And then I used that to verify that I was a professional and get like ads. Cause this was like first iteration of ads. So I now had this YouTube channel that was monetized and you had to have like an MCN then too. And I went through like, it was like broadband TV or some shit.

God, MCNs are a totally different story. Nightmare. We'll have to go into that. One of these days, by the way, we need to do just a, just a,

our boys episode, just the core four where we talk about our start in youtube because my god this is oh yeah this is such good content i love this yeah it's all the different stories and how they got to and i'm so engaged in this right now just listening to how how old yeah and it's for the audience out there it is to show like the trials and tribulations other than Grant got handed things. The hard work. I'm joking. You have to kill a fucking foreign emissary. What the fuck are you talking about?

This guy literally went to Poland and blew it up. But he loved it. I already know, though, the amount of what happened with me. The fucking planets aligned. I was literally in the right place at the right time. And I know that for a fact. He's already a NATO persona non grata. But at the same

time, I want to give credit where credit is due because... Super talented. The planets did align, but if you wouldn't have had the work ethic to try and edit your own shit and do something with it, you wouldn't be where you are today you put yourself in the place to receive luck it's what you do exactly exactly it's

actioning on it it is oh this moment happened what do i do i i always said that luck people say oh you got lucky it's like no no no no luck is the it's the skill to recognize opportunity exactly and and capitalize and you got to put yourself is the skill to recognize opportunity. Exactly. And capitalize on it. And you've got to put yourself in the position to receive luck, which is opportunity. Because you don't get to be a shitbag and win the lottery and, oh, okay, I get a job. It's like, no, you have to recognize an opportunity when it comes around and then capitalize on that. A hundred percent. I always say with Gallagher when I met Rocket Jump, Gallagher said no to the con and I said yes.

I had no money when I went to that con. I spent and I was like, okay, well, I don't get to eat this week. Right in. And baby mama do get to eat. So I'm just going to sacrifice my food in order for a chance to meet Rocket Jump, Freddie Wong. And then I met them and I met him four times in that day, became friends with them. And then

at next year, they're like, hey, you want to hang out? Have you heard of Soylent? Shit like that. Like even that part of your story, I've never, I've, I've been friends with you for a long time. I've never heard that part. Yeah. It is like, I'm super interested in this stuff. Yeah. We'll have to do a game. This is what we do. But, and it motivates, it's always for the people out there where I look at it. I'm like, Hey, if you think your life is hard it's like that's

unattainable you work fucking harder a lot of the time is if you think you're working hard you're not i can tell you you stack your work ethic against a lot of these individuals and you're like man i am not putting enough effort forward for anything from gym to personal life to business it is you can go so much further if you have time to watch sports take weekends just relax you're not putting in the effort if you want to spend if you want to spend money without looking at your wallet you got to work without looking at the clock yeah yes god damn that's good that's fucking thing that i learned about the from the campaign that i'm so fucking thankful for that can't be taken away from me is realizing that I had enough time for 50 extra hours a week that I can now put into my businesses. That's something I didn't realize.

You found that 50 hours. Yeah, because I had to. And then I didn't realize, oh, damn, I thought I was busy before, but I really wasn't. You just gained a whole new perspective. I always learned, do what others aren't willing to do so that you can live where they can't yeah and to me what that meant at the time was like you know what i have zero talent but i can outwork every motherfucker and so that's my 7 a.m to 2 a.m work hours going to my full-time job so i can take care of the bills and then coming home and working on my dream yep and continuing that process until one day my dream can feed me and i don't have to

depend on my job anymore damn we're really in the i love you guys part of the podcast 10 white claws later anyway i was 11 years old um which is fucking crazy to have that work ethic at that age. So, by clause later, Eddie, I love, just thank you for your service. Thank you so much, narrator. Thank you so much, Eli. Oh my God. Yeah, so I don't know. I just realized that was something that I wanted to do.

And I mean, by this point, by probably like 11 years, I probably had made like 50, 60 videos. Like I was pumping them out. It was just speed runs and youtube poops nice um i love but then i started doing animations because i really really liked doing like funny source filmmaker what were you doing source filmmaker but it was before the official release so you had to do like the half-life 2 yeah crack to get the uh broken of Source Filmmaker. So with animations, by the time VR came out, that had to be like a godsend. Oh yeah, dude. Absolutely.

They had to just track everything in their bodies. Yeah, 100%. Instead of like a thousand times easier. Yeah, a million times easier. You just do it. Yeah. So yeah, I got Ad adsense right before that video they got 300k views and i was i remember when i first got my first check from adsense

it was right when i started seventh grade right christ dude i feel like a piece of shit it was seventh grade i was pirating cds and selling them at the flea market Jesus Christ. I feel like a piece of shit. In the 7th grade, I was pirating CDs and selling them at the flea market. What year is this? This would be... Oh, fuck. This is hard for me to game because I never finished school. 2011 or what year?

Probably somewhere around there. I have been back from war for four years. This kid is making money on the internet. I'm like, fuck that kid. I was downloading Livewire. So my first cash out was like $280. Which for an 11-year-old, that's fucking wild.

It was mind-blowing. It was mind-blowing. It was like, whoa, bro, I'm rich. No, literally. Mom, go fuck yourself. Yeah. Well, I wanted to make more like G modern SFM video. So I just spent it on like a new graphics card. Right. So I just upgraded my PC because that's awesome that you immediately were like, I need to invest harder. I sense sense. I was literally like single digits. I've always saved

my money and I've always loved technology. Reinvesting back into tech. Yeah. So I built my first PC I ever bought, I built when I was 10. So I just learned. I just figured it out because I really wanted to. God, that $110,000 went towards a good thing. Yeah.

We're going to the artistic summer camp okay you always more you always were more artistic i'll be in the pool my floaties on artistic Yeah Like my I didn't grow up with any money really like think we all other than Grant came from that background I had nut money I almost broke this chair off the term nut money I think you just made a first discovery

nut money and it didn't come from OnlyFans girls. It was you. I'm the OG of nut money. What do you know about nut money? Nothing. So yeah, it's fucking like growing up. Christ.

It was always like every birthday. It was just gaming all of my family members to like give me like 30 bucks for my birthday or like 50 bucks for my birthday so that i could save up to like upgrade my computer like build a new computer that's always what it was the only thing pretty much i ever spent money on um and i just kept making videos and i remember i was in middle school and one of the kids in my middle school had seen that animation that did really good and that like that literally kept me going for like probably five years because i was like that was like i'm fucking like seventh maybe eighth grade at that point and one kid from a total stranger like was like holy shit you did that yeah he's

like i love tf2 and i was like yeah i make animations and i did this video and he's like i've commented on that video no fucking way you made the spy crap video the spy crap i'm like that literally like kept me going for like yeah the first person you meet in real life like that it was like really attached and you're just like oh shit i'm like i know i get this out on the internet but like that real people are tangible effect yeah yeah these are real people you had a wholesome first fan experience my first fan experience was at a wing daddies in a really ratchet part of town and i was like really hammered and i was like me and gabby i was just fucking drinking and you got that youtube money this little six-year-old comes up to me and he's like eddie vr and i'm like and i'm like hiding the drink and grab the water and hi

okay and then i'm like i'm like where's and then he shivs you in the calf and runs away where's his fucking parents oh okay hi hi I'm saying hi to his parents before I say hi to this kid. I'm like, I'm making sure I'm being protected here. I don't want to fucking say hi to a seven-year-old in a wing bar. That makes you much different than other YouTubers. Well, I'm drunk as shit. Yes, I'm, yeah. Luckily, I didn't play Minecraft. I was just about to say.

Yeah. That kid would have been in danger if I was playing Minecraft. So, god damn. So, um. That clipped audio right there so i didn't mean you boys real quick so i started playing minecraft that's the next part of the story yeah so i started playing Minecraft. He just shot your star in the knee. Sorry, sorry. I used to be an explorer like you until I started playing Minecraft with miners. No, no, that's not what I mean. That's what they're called.

That's what they dig for coal in. Misinterpretation sorry James go ahead so I started doing like Minecraft and then Fallout 4 was coming out at the time and I started uploading these

Fallout videos and they started getting like 5k views and until that point I was getting like 60 views a video like nothing I'd have the occasional video get like a thousand views but nothing was like really catching and uh it was a lot of i was so young you know like i was just doing shit i wasn't really thinking about it too much at that age it's still insane you still had that yeah i'm like a freshman to that yeah i'm like a freshman and i'm

like like i've at this point I have hundreds and hundreds of videos. Because this is all I did growing up. I just stayed inside and made YouTube videos. That's what all my friends knew me for. It's like I just sat there and fucking made videos. And yeah, so this Fallout stuff started picking up and then i i kind of was like maybe i should do a lot of fallout stuff and that did good for a little bit until fallout of course fell off because games taper and i didn't realize that so that was a learning experience

and um at that point i was able to get like a couple thousand views per video minimum and i was like this is insane. And pretty soon I hit a thousand subscribers. Yeah. Nice. And I was like mind blown at this point. Because by that point, I'd probably been doing it for like 10 years. 10 years to get a thousand subscribers, right?

Yeah. I still have all my videos live. Let's just clarify that. Let's just put that into perspective. 10 years of making videos to get 1, subscribers 100 subs a year you're doing great people out there that's like i work so hard imagine that that is that is the perseverance you need it's shutting the fuck up it didn't happen over 60 days it didn't happen over six months yeah that shit like make shut shut up and makes me tweet.

Anybody like us fucking makes our brain boil. Yeah. When people are like, well, bro, like I tried YouTube for like six months. Yeah. It's like,

I'm like, are you going to try that? You did not try. Yeah. You gave up. And then you're like, well, it wasn't for me.

No, you didn't have, you didn't have it handed to you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like you just thought it was going to happen overnight. And I think lot of artists have that mindset it's like i have a great plan for the next six months and if it doesn't happen i'm quitting i'm falling for my safety i know too

many people like that well it's like you what you were talking about they overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in five yep exactly yep i love this table right now this is such a good everyone i know the comments like i am so table right now such a good table I know the comments are like I am so motivated right now the audience here will be so motivated I hope so oh it's not hope all these motherfuckers are going to be like I'm a piece of shit and I need to work harder

I need to upload and it's not just about YouTube it's about literally anything it's the same if I wanted to be a fucking mechanic if I wanted to be a fucking anything it literally applies to anything it's the same it's the same i wanted to be a mechanic if i want to be a fucking anything it's it's literally it applies to anything it's not just youtube exactly gonna get handed to you you gotta fucking earn it yeah and the thing that you'll find is if you go out there and you actually just keep putting in the work and make it happen it does like it's it's the people

who set an expectation for themselves and they do it completely on their own, like, fruition and everything. And it doesn't happen exactly how they want it to, and then they give up. And it's like, fuck, well, how bad did you really want that? The idea of, like, you shoot for the stars and land on the moon, like, that sort of thing. It's like, yeah, I set expectations for myself all the time that I fall short of all the time, but I fall short of them in a fucking rad way. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So yeah, you, you just set your expectations high and work toward those. Exactly. You'll end up in a great place. Yeah. So it's like all like, I'd be business partners with all of you.

And thankfully Brandon, Cody, Nick are my business partners, Jake show. Like everyone has these high expectations going into each and everything. And we may not hit the stars, but dear God, do we hit the moon every fucking time?

Because we're like, Hey, everyone's working super fucking hard. No one's quitting or no one hits the part. Like, Oh, that's good enough. There is never good enough.

I don't know if you guys ever think that. It's never because, because it's the hunger. Yeah. And it's, there's, there's always, I mean,

there's always a place to improve no matter what because the moment that you stop looking at it that way is when you get complacent and then everything just dies so it's like i just made the deep state spend 10 million dollars beating a youtuber yeah by the way could have done better that sounds like a comedy central skit but it's real like when you say it objectively like that it's like that's fucking retarded why did that happen but it's like in my mind i'm like could have done better and we're always going to have that but the fact is like it's better to what is that shoot for the stars land on the moon then shoot for the or shoot for the clouds and then

land on the roof yeah yeah exactly two options in life and it's one do good and everyone out there it is persevere if you if you look at what you're doing right now you're like i tried my hardest look at what these guys endured to get where they are and like you got a dude starting at fucking 9 to 11 years old and continuing the hundreds of videos 800 videos two, and he blew up two millions. And then... Fuck off. Two premiere tutorials. Golden child. Old almond farmer over there. And before this gets away from me,

one of the most important things that I learned, and this goes back to what you were talking about, is that you have this... You feel sick. You don't feel like you've done enough yet. Like you still have so much more you can offer. And I learned, I forgot where the fuck I learned this quote from, but I internalized it a long time ago. And I've, and I've repeated it to myself and repeated it to myself. And that is success is not getting somewhere it's the progressive realization of a worthwhile dream

or goal and it's through that progression that you find that success yeah you know i feel i feel the most successful when i'm chasing something and not getting somewhere yeah and i think that's like i've learned that from jordan peterson amongst other people like you're never like men aren't happy because they reached a goal like find a fucking man who's happy because he got something yeah it doesn't exist you're you're you're happy when you are succeeding at chasing a goal that you set whatever it is yep yeah literally anything and that that's exactly the same thing yeah chase that goal with you know like no safety net you chase that fucking goal until you catch that it's there's no there's no there is no option a option b option c it's option a option a and motherfucking option a or nothing

yeah you know and andy forsella always says he's like motherfuckers that make it don't have a plan B. Exactly. They make plan A no matter what. 100%. I remember, and this may need to be cut from the podcast, but I fucking remember when I was in the very early days of starting my business and getting everything going, the YouTube, everything, I remember having a hollow point next to my bed called plan B. That was it. It like yeah it's literally it's like hey talk about motivation yeah it was like you you wait you wake up every day and you look at that it's like if this doesn't work out that's plan b so like you better fucking make

plan a yeah in other words you're you're putting the you're putting you're lighting that fire under your ass yeah it's the best thing you can do as a as an entrepreneur that is what makes the difference that's how you have employees that's how you make differences in others lives it's the best thing you can do as a, as an entrepreneur. That is what makes the difference. That's how you have employees. That's how you make differences in others' lives. It's not your own. Now you're like, Hey, I got to run this and I'm going to have to run it consistently for X amount

of years. Then I have to worry. Dude, being a nine to five would be for us. It would be nice because then you're not worrying about a paying others. Yeah. Ours. Other people are influenced. If we fuck this up yeah other people's

lives there's people that rely exactly on us and it's the same it's the same thing for us yeah it's a stress level that it happens real quick when it when it when that first like like hit me it was so overwhelming where i'm like, my actual continuation of this and work ethic is like, I, I basically have to provide for these people. Yup. You know, and I can quit on me, but I can't quit on other people. Yeah, exactly. So it's like, I mean, I need to be in this, in my mindset, I was like, I need to be in this, uh, i was like i need to be in this uh also for these people these people rely on me these people have families like it's yep that that was a crazy realization i can't quit you broke back down yeah

and on that note back to your story I gotta pee one more time. We're gonna get through this. Brandon's like, what? I'm like, to spice up. I can't fucking stop. It is fucking good sauce. I had a really like topsy-turvy kind of situation when I was like

just turning 18. I was held back a couple years, so I was only sophomore. Because you were retarded yes um artistic artistic um and basically uh i was in a situation to where i just just turned 18 uh i got a job when i turned 16 as a camp counselor on the summers and stuff. Took care of, like, it was massive groups. It would be, like, I had 60 people in my class, stuff like that.

And that was, like, super fun. And my dad, like, kind of got me into, like, construction literally as soon as I could hold something. So I. My father did the same. Yeah, yeah. It was a brown rite of passage. When it came working, I was like, okay. You can hold a maraca? Okay, here's a hammer.

Same motion. Same thing. I was in this position to where things happen and my mom was like, I was in this position to where things happened. And my mom was like, I was in the middle of a school year. I just turned 18. She's like, we're moving away. I'm like, what?

I'm not doing that. And I mean, I just turned 18. I was only a sophomore in high school, and I had no job at the time. At 18, you were a sophomore? He was just saying he was held back. Yeah, I was held back. Remember when you paid for his camp? Summer camp.

Yeah. Hold on. So I was basically given the decision of, like, well, I'm going to move. And you and your brother should come with. And I'm like, I'm not doing that. I don't know how I'm going to figure. And you and your brother should come with. And I'm like, I'm not doing that. I don't know how I'm going to figure it out, but I'm not leaving. Like, I got stuff to do here. Like, I'm in high school.

And growing up, because of a lot of my family situation and stuff, like, my friends, I've had the same friends since I was, like, 10. And it's a group of like six or seven people. And it's, that's like, that's my family, you know? And it's always been like that because I haven't had a super really expansive

family or anything like that. So that was always my family. I'm like, I'm not leaving this fucking place. Are you kidding me? Um, so basically I refused and I'm like i'm gonna stay here and um for a little bit i worked ended high school um but i couldn't work enough to pay the bills so

i dropped out of high school eventually and basically we just started like, I guess like group home. It eventually turned into a trap house by all regards. Like it was like as trap house as it could have been. And we just survived and worked and did goon shit for like three years. And I was delivering pizza. And I did that for a while. And I bust tables and this and that and odd jobs. And I do odd construction jobs and stuff like that. And I was still making videos in the background. And I never really fully partook in the goon shit.

Because I was like, I want to make youtube videos like i was never super into it um so like you you actively looked at people like oh well i would drug deal but i kind of want to do minecraft yeah no that's literally how it was and they'd be like word okay bet like yeah i get okay i got you like why you sound like finn right now like it would be like oh we're all gonna take shrooms tonight and pop some shit i'd be like okay well i'm gonna record this video so wait 20 minutes so i can babysit you it'd be like that like you literally like but oh god it's just like you were talking about earlier like you're you're actively choosing the harder path yeah succeed well yeah succeed. I was still like doing videos. Yeah.

And I was still working a job because I had to. And your friends probably called you crazy. This is what I always. You will always hear this during motivational speeches. People. Why are you doing? Come have fun. Do this thing.

Why aren't you doing it? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And the one dude that persevered and said, fuck no. I got a vision. I got a dream. Yeah. Yeah. I'm chasing that.

Where are you now compared to everyone else? is because you didn't exactly peer pressure all that dumb shit oh this is fun great you know what's not fun working but still at the end of the day if i'm pursuing a dream and bettering myself that's how you like doing that shit felt better to me you know i'd still have like the occasional night of fun but it was like i would much rather do this because this is fulfilling right yep and um so that went on for that was like a couple years of of that probably like three or four and then eventually i ended up getting an editing job for laser beamsam's sister. If you guys know who Laserbeam is. He's the biggest creator in Australia. Yeah.

I am too old for that. The Fortnite guy. Fortnite guy. That is why I don't know. I'm still too old for this. You know how you're the AK guy? He's the Fortnite guy. He's the Fortnite guy down under.

I don't want to answer questions. Want to answer questions? Who's coming on the podcast soon, hopefully? I'm so excited for that one. Oh yeah, who's that? Mr. Inbetween, Scott Ryan. I don't know who that is. Mr. Inbetween is such a great fucking Australian crime show.

He's the writer, director, main actor. He's a fucking rad dude all right that's your australian they'll instantly know oh they will know yeah they will know him they're like what the no way all right it's probably one of it's one of the best crime shows i've ever seen mr in between mr in between yeah on raw tomato like a 9.6 it's on hulu like it's yeah i'll check it out um so yeah i got this this editing job because when i originally signed up with that mcn they had a meet a creator chat and i met this guy named toasted shoes when i was when i was 14 sorry this, this guy Toasted Shoes is... He's currently being silenced by Warner Brothers. So he makes mods.

Toasted Shoes makes mods on games. And he actively mods. So he puts Looney Tunes... But he mods unmoddable games that cost him money. You've probably seen it. It's like, what's he under right now? He was modding something in... Mortal Kombat.

Mortal Kombat. Holy shit, why do I know this is insane? like what's he under right now he was modding something in moral combat moral combat holy shit why do i know this is insane because everyone knows who toasted shoes is but he never gets credit for it so he's never blown up because everyone always takes credit for his shit on the internet clips yeah and so this this time he got he got uh a season this is from warner brothers for all his yes yeah that's all of is a lot. We were in a call with him. That's all of his earning videos. That's his livelihood. We were in a call with him.

We called it the Warner Brothers support chat. And we told him, we're like, bro, all the boys called him, we're like, you have to capitalize on this now. This was like two weeks ago. This was like two weeks ago. So after we deliberated ideas with them and we're like you have to do this and so the next thing you did was i came from our little support group

he went to uh movie world which is a warner brothers like like a six flags but for warner brothers so they have all the warner brothers characters gold coast and he had And he went in with a what looked like an autograph book but was disguised. It was a consent release form for each character. So he goes up to it and he'd be like Tweety the bird and it'd be like a picture of them and then a cutout square. And he'd be like

can you sign right there? And then he'd pull it up and it's a consent release form. He did it amazing. So now he's fighting back with like, I have permission from every character themselves. At the Warner Brothers theme park. Dude, that will never hold up in court, but that's such a 200 IQ.

It isn't for court, but it was the biggest meme fucking strategy. Mind-b fucking like strategy it was so it was so good it was so fucking that's that 4d chat right there yeah it was so funny oh my god it came out so funny but that anyway toaster shoes is the hardest working motherfucker i know that always gets cucked by everyone else who takes his content and never he's always been that way like so I've met Joe through our MCM when we I was 14 he was like 15 and um he's like the point of origin pretty much for um anything Australian

so eventually like me and Joe became best friends with Erwinwin. Pretty much. He's like Steve Irwin again, but kind of like... Alive. Alive, yeah. And Ginger. Thank you for fucking slamming that one down. That one still hurts, bro. It's not what he would have wanted. I think it might have been a game.

It's fine. So Joe introduced me eventually to laser beam um and i was like just talking to him on twitter and he was like hey my sister wants to start a youtube channel and she wants to get more into youtube and i'm like i can edit videos i couldn't edit videos i was like professionally i'd never done it but i was like yeah i can do that i got this i'm gonna learn right i had never once professionally edited for somebody other than myself but i just acted like i knew how to and um that worked out that worked out so i edited for tanner for a while until eventually i quit my job at pizza hut and smart move yeah yeah yeah i quit my job pizza and they were like well you're

fucking insane have fun with that we'll see you in three months um yeah and uh i did that for a bit and then eventually joe's friend mully i get into this like snapchat conversation with him and me and molly are just like talking for this instance and that's it we talk like one time that's it and then a year later molly's working for tanner with me right so molly's kind of my boss and so i knew molly for a while he would grill the shit out of me. Just be like, work harder. Constantly.

Boss. Yeah. And one day he just called me and started ranting about his fucking life problems. And I was like, I've never been in a call with this guy. Mully does that. Mully's introduction to me was him like ranting about some bullshit. So he calls me and he's like could you believe this shit and i'm like dude my only interactions with you are you

grilling i don't even know you you're like you're like a famous youtuber i look up to why are you like telling me your life problems so anyhow my fucking wife literally and i'm like uh-, uh-huh, uh-huh. Meanwhile, Molly had started this VR channel. And I was like, man, that's fucking stupid. I was like, that might be the lamest shit I've ever seen in my life. No joke. That was my first initial reaction to Molly when he started his VR channel. I'm like, that is, I would not, like, clockwork. You could clockwork orange me. I'd fucking close my eyes'm like that is i would not like clockwork you could clockwork orange me i'd fucking close my eyes like that's there's no way you could it's stupid

i'm like this shit i joke about is like yeah the like bro you couldn't have waterboarded that out of me like i'm like i'm not that's dumb why would you do that like and uh yeah so he did that for a bit and then him and josh started actually getting like some success through it i'm like okay i guess i'm just retarded um and he was still working for tanner at the time yeah and we got into this call and he was once again ranting to me about his life and i still didn't really know him and i told him a joke and he was like that's a funny joke you're funny do you have a vr headset i'm like do you have a french maid outfit yeah do you do cat ears um he's like do you have your headset i'm like no and he's like you should get one

and uh you should start vr channel because you're actually pretty funny and i was still making like normal youtube videos at the time yeah yes and this time i was like okay maybe i'll concede because you know like i'd come around at this point i'm like okay these are actually kind of lit at first it was just like a weird idea to me like the pov and everything and this is like weird super weird concept especially when vr is first i never even put on a vr headset so it was like so strange to me. And he's like, you should get VR headset. And you're a funny guy. And I'm like, shit.

So I had $300 in my savings and like $30 in my checking. What did your credit card look like? My credit? So I didn't even have a credit card So I didn't even have a credit card. I didn't even have a credit card. I can't talk shit on that right now. Mine's currently maxed out. I can't buy gas on my credit card right now.

Mine was on a fake social. Yours isn't even real. Playing with Monopoly money. What's your name? John Smith. My name is john smith in the widest voice possible um i would like to buy a hamburger i actually got a credit card i don't know why i was just like yeah maybe i'll try this vr shit i

got a i got a fucking credit card um and went into debt because the only debt i had that time was like hospital bills and i'm like i'm never paying that are you insane like that's not happening um but i got a credit card and went into debt just to get a vr headset and i had 300 so i went 1300 into debt and i was like man i hope this turns into anything anything yeah because i'm making like a couple grand a month max like i could really this would be cool um and molly got me into this tiktok and he's like tell that joke you told me in that call when i was ranting about my life and i was like okay so i did the i did the little joke routine and it actually did really good. Holy fuck.

You nailed him. Is that our Japanese chef? Yeah. King Troutu. King Troutu. He's taking a little break right now. He took off the bandana and now he's put a cowboy hat on. He's going to cook a steak next. Every meal is a different costume.

Sorry, I didn't want to interrupt. Are we having a barbecue for dinner? Yeah. Keep going now. So yeah, I fucking got this VR headset and I did this meme and it did like average. It did pretty good. Like it wasn't anything crazy,

but Molly was like, yeah, that was funny. People liked that. Was it this one i i have it yeah i actually i have okay boomer pulled up yeah yeah check this out so this is okay boomer this is what you see is talking about boys i got that google home check this out ready hey google start a boomer chain yeah baby you can get this thing just go forever okay Okay. Okay. All right, shut up. Okay. Stop that. Okay, dude. What are you doing? So I'd even have a chance like vr channel when i made that i did that he was like talking about his life and i'm like this will be funny i'm like i have my google home set okay yeah and he's like do that in tiktok so that people liked it so i'm like maybe i'll do this vr stuff and then it took off and then i did one video and it got like a thousand views in the first day

And I was like my fucking little headaches. I was like no way we make it out of mud with this one Did you have at this point around two thousand right or something on my other channel like me? Well, how many won't be our channel? Yeah. Yeah, I had like a thousand subs Yeah, I made the first video So I got like it got like a thousand views but i got a lot of subs so you made a new channel from your previous one you had been working because everyone told me to yeah yeah um i love everyone just like we gotta start over yeah we start anew each and every time yeah dude i started over like three times oh yeah i forgot about that you did too

i did i had an airsoft channel in the very beginning which like i was in sixth grade when i started it like i was it was like 2006 i i started that over and then i started a uh another gun channel that i was just using like just you know shit i could borrow or whatever like wanted to do like call of duty guns in real life so i use guns that were like close and uh that i i started that over when i was you know both of those channels i think i got to like three four thousand subs yeah it started right over which like i look back now i'm like jesus christ how many like fucking millions i could be at right now it's adapting and overcoming yeah we do it in a targeted way so look at where you're at yeah you're right where you need to be at yeah not that i'm bitching about where i'm at now but it it's just kind of like looking back. I'm like, I'm in 2009

with 3,000 subs on a gun channel. It's like, where could I be fucking now? I just realized that women smell nice, so I stopped doing YouTube. You went from 3,000 subs with a gun channel in 2009 to fucking millions in 2024 with a gun channel still.

Yeah. That's pretty dope. It's not bad. I just look back and I'm like, now I could be dope. Yeah, yeah. It's not that good. Yeah. He's struggling. I just look back and I'm like, now I could be at like six, seven million if I wanted to be. But like, everything works out for a reason. You'll be there.

Yeah. Give us some time. Thanks for the motivation, buddy. I really could use it right about now. Oh, fuck. Okay. Okay. So, okay.

Boomer thing happened. Molly's like, make a VR channel. Because people really like this well he's like make a vr channel because people really like this he's like you should make the channel and i'm like i still think it's kind of cringe and i'm like fuck okay so i make it and we do the first video it did good i got like a thousand subs brain exploded because that took me like 10 years um and it happened in like a week and the second video we made i did this skit in vr chat where i was baby yoda and i got this girl with full body tracking to like do a full strip routine on me so i'm like baby yoda i'm like damn bitch she's like throwing it back on me i'm just literally

baby i'm just going crazy and that actually went like semi-viral and it was like the second vr clip i'd ever done no shit yeah and it's just taking off yeah you're like well there and i was like holy shit and then i got to 10k subs in like another week and i was like what the i was like this is this is insane and then molly introduces molly introduced me to uh josh and josh is like oh another fucking like uh random guy you've dragged in from the street literally his reaction that was josh's reaction yeah yeah he's like oh so this guy's funny like the other 10 let's see jesus christ yeah which was funny as fuck it was funny it was super funny and uh i guess i was funny because they they uh they were like bet jordan and i was like dope they introduced me to narrator and then uh one day

molly calls me and he's like this fucking eddie vr guy basically he's like he's stepping on our turf he's like i remember this and i'm not kidding we have never spoken to Eddie. I think he hopped into our side of the border is what they say. Yeah. Like, he's like, he's like linking me videos and he's like, we've got this illegal competition. I have some intel on this guy. We can get him out of here. Me and Eddie actually met in a Pavlov lobby. Way before the boys started.

I accidentally met him and I I was like I couldn't I couldn't tell him I was starstruck I was like it's you yeah yeah but I mean like a random it's like a cod lobby but like in VR and Pavlov and I was like and he was like and I was like I was in a team with him and he's like going in the front lines and he's not even recording he's just like

now the front line now in the front lines we have Eddie VR walking through this and I had no subs or anything at that point. And I'm like, I'm getting narrated by the fucking Harry. No way. And then I got cut off. I was going to ask him if I could join him for another game. And I got fucking dropped from the game.

And I couldn't. No. No. I missed my fucking chance. Anyway, so yeah, that's at this point though i remember so that all of the boys got together for pax 2020 yeah we made like a handful of videos together at this point south 2020 was right before antonio it was yeah it was here in san antonio and it was really yeah it was right before covid that was right before i moved here yeah San Antonio and it was right right before COVID

it was right before I moved here I didn't have the money to buy a plane ticket so Molly bought me the plane ticket because I had like 90 bucks in my checking account I had zero in my savings because I bought a fucking VR headset what's crazy is when I met Freddy and I was on

my last leg it was PAX West. No shit. Damn. Really? Yeah. No way. That's crazy. It all happened to PAX. We all got together.

It all happened to PAX. We all got together that first time. It was like what Eddie was saying. There was like almost no. It was easy. There was no change. Yeah. It was instantly.

Until we walked out of IHOP and I slapped Mully in the face with a dildo. That was great. Yeah. So for his birthday, he slapped him with a dildo. In VR? No. I want to feel the recoil. So that night we went to, one of the nights in PAX, we went to,

I think the club is called Paramore. It's here in San Antonio. They have drag shows on Sunday. So we went there for the first time together and that's where we were like that's juicy landed and went straight to this club like to come meet us and that was the first time i've flown like one time in my life at this point like i've been on one plane

for a family and where i like this fancy ass and some random australian is like carting me out to texas i've never been to fucking texas and i'm like i have like i have enough money for dinner and i'm like but we're like we're like i'm not hungry don't worry about me yeah i'll take water oh dude i've done that so many times when i was fucking broke like oh yeah no dude i just i ate before i came yeah yeah it's fine well i don't drink alcohol yeah that was the first time i ever met cody outside of like an event or something like that i remember i came down to like fucking fort mill south carolina i was on my way back to to fayetteville at the time i remembered like me and him met up for lunch just hanging out he was with his axe and shit like that i'm just like oh yeah no dude i'm good

like i just i ate before i came and like i was too broke i was too embarrassed to say like dude i don't have money three dollars left on my fucking debit card yeah like i have no money i can't eat the struggle is real i love dude by this point by this point that we met up all together um we had a solidified group and juicy was like the baby of the group he hadn't he was the only one who hadn't uh i guess flourished in the youtube space yet he had like 2 000 subscribers on his vr channel i had like three videos and by the time i went to pax i just hit 10k because the baby yoda meme yeah i think yeah it was something like i remember i just hit 10k and it was like mind-blowing and uh and he's at so he's at pax with no money and i remember i was like have you ever had an

old-fashioned before he's like what the fuck that? I'd been to a bar one time. My uncle gave me two when I was 12. By this point in my life, I had just gotten my first. You mean the pacifier dippy sauce? By this point in my career, I had just gotten my first big YouTube paycheck. And I had just turned 21 when I showed up. He had just turned 21. And I'm like, and Molly and Josh had gotten like their their first big break as well and they're like

trying like expensive drinks and shit like that and to me they were like 100 i was like what the is going on dude this is crazy right so juicy's here and we're like we have videos of all this shit and we're like we're buying them like expensive drinks like an old fat like a 15 dollar old-fashioned you know That's an expensive drink. You know what I mean? I'm like, the f*** are you doing? He's like, what? I don't even know what mixed drinks are.

And I remember, I shit you not, bro, that night we all sat down at the gay couch at Paramore. It was a good couch. It was a really good couch. We all sat down together, and we looked at Juicy and we were like, okay, bro, you're the newest one to the group or you're the youngest one in the group as far as subscribers go. And Josh sat him down and was like, okay, look, we're going to develop this strategy around you. We're going to make you the face of the boys for the next few months or the next year. And we're going to all put all this effort together and we're gonna make the boys flourish and you're gonna be the face of it for a while that way people can flock to your channel

and we can have um we can have you like grow all the pillars of the boys come up to come up to us so that we can have this foundation of all of us right and he and josh said within a year you're gonna have a million subscribers and i was like you're retarded dude i'm like the fuck are you talking about a million subscribers in a year i'm like i have three videos i literally like you're like the lean shane gillis dude i was like you're insane he told me he's we're going to get at least a silver play button. Probably a gold. I'm like, you're actually fucking like, you're out of your mind. And within a year, sure enough. It was like four months.

We all got our gold play buttons within a year. And Juicy got his coming from like a couple thousand subscribers. I had a month where I got 800,000 subscribers. Wow, dude. Yeah. Fuck. And it was like, I was still in the trap house. That's how fast this happened.

It was like a whole year before I was like, I can spend this money. Like, literally. Yeah. Because I was like mortified. I'm like, oh, my first big check was like, it was 27 grand. And I was like, this is more money than i've ever seen but it'll be gone like what if it just what if this is a one-time thing it took me about two years before i think i ever spent anything on myself yeah like two years of the money coming in

yeah before i'm like i'm willing to do it yeah so scared I, I, your story is like extremely inspirational, dude. Like to, to see like in such a short amount of time, you go from nothing to something and, and like such a drastic way. You could have derailed in so many ways and, and followed the,

your environment and like, yeah, yeah. And you're here like inspiring millions of people. That's very like, I'm fucking proud of you bro on that note i think now we can end this at four hours minutes we're not gonna do an after show no dear god after show yeah we're not doing that one i can't wait for the comments because i know everyone's gonna be like i get unsubbed for four hours and 34 minutes oh my god i.
