Starting point is 00:00:29 Can't wait for your Radical Life channel. You know we gotta clap. I gotta remember the clap on that. Cody, introduce us! Hi, everyone. Welcome to the Unsubscribe podcast. I am joined today by Eli Doubletap, fat electrician, Sam and Nadine of your New Zealand family, Brandon Herrera, and myself, Donut Operator. Thank you for tuning in.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Hi, everyone. We were supposed to talk about shooting guns today. Guess what we didn't get to do? Yep. Texas pissed on us. Yeah. A lot. God said no.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Yeah, absolutely. We were trying to show them the Texas way of life, which is fully automatic machine guns and barbecue, white claw, I guess, things like that. At least we got a couple of white claws. It's the worst trip ever. We promised you all of this. Here's a white claw.
Starting point is 00:01:19 You could have bought that. White claws anywhere else. Things you don't have at home. Went to America. Did you shoot guns no yeah like we said we'll take a rain check we'll have you fly back 14 and a half hours just to spend some more time with you guys super quick layover you guys how long have you been in america for now nine weeks oh wow yeah what's your favorite place oh i knew this was coming it's tough i mean now that we've been in san antonio it makes it even harder to decide.
Starting point is 00:01:45 No, it did. It shocked us. Nine weeks is longer than half the people in San Antonio have been in America. Spicy podcast. He can make that joke. He's Mexican. And illegal.
Starting point is 00:01:59 Hey, wow. No, I'd say probably Yellowstone National Park is my favorite. Yeah, it was stunning. Beautiful. I'm making you pick a city okay all right go on me first yeah um i'm gonna go with i'm actually gonna go with san antonio i am i am i am it reminded me like the the river walk reminded me of christchurch that avon river and it also it just gave me vibes of like europe you know which we'd been to last year and it also it just yeah it took me back home all at the same time but also had full texas vibes too yeah and it's the most sort of like hispanic
Starting point is 00:02:34 styled texas city i've been to all the you know beautiful colors and the vibrant you know which continent did la remind you of? Wow. Well, last year... That's funny because when we landed in LA, that was my first time driving on the right-hand side of the road. The right side of the road. Well, we say the wrong side of the road. And that was like a seven-lane each side wide
Starting point is 00:02:59 freeway. And I was just holding on for dear life. I mean, my knuckles were just like pure white. That would be weird. Kids, kids. Why are there other people on the road at the same time as me? What's the biggest? Why is no one indicating? Yeah, true.
Starting point is 00:03:18 What's the biggest road you guys have on New Zealand? Like how many lanes wide? The freeway, maybe four per side. And that's like most that's yeah that's massive yeah yeah absolutely here yeah yeah that's our small yeah we're mad we can't pass people if someone's going really slow do you have like assholes in the left lane or do you know what that uh so that would be right that would be the right the right lands for crime over there for pretty much yeah perfect yeah that's wild all right that's where all the
Starting point is 00:03:50 action happens they also are like they think was this would we say 75 was like fast 73 miles an hour was considered fast yeah i think 68 is like our matt that's the expressway. It's 68 miles per hour. That's my commute. That's a residential area. In Texas, it is. It is. The speed limit's here. You're hard here. Yeah. Well, I was driving following one of you, and I was like, I'm not even going to try.
Starting point is 00:04:15 I'm just going to hang back. The big Shelby truck. Oh, that's the one. I'm on the wrong side of the car, and on the wrong side of the road. us different side of the car so it's like it's a whole it's a whole different thing you have to really focus focus and how is your trip so far what is your like the when you came to the united states it's for your youtube channel what has been the main thing you're like okay we're gonna land here and travel, get an RV, or just did you have a list of destinations you were planned out? Yeah, so last year we planned this big European trip, right, because my dad is from Italy, so I spent a lot of time in Italy as a kid.
Starting point is 00:04:55 And so, you know, I hadn't been back there in 15 years, so we planned this big Europe trip. And also I lost my mother during COVID to cancer, And so we took that trip in her honor. And then I was on the phone to the travel agent. I was about to book this big European trip. And she came running over to me. She's like, stop, stop, stop. Why are we not going to America? Because we normally go via Dubai or Asia and then head up to Europe and back.
Starting point is 00:05:19 But she's like, why don't we go through America? Let's just do it. And then we can make a whole bunch of videos and stuff like that. So we ended up going five days, LA five days in New York, like six weeks in Europe. And then on the way back, we did five days in Miami,
Starting point is 00:05:31 five days in Fort Worth, like the historic stockyards and then back in New Zealand. So we did that as like a round trip. And so, yeah, that was kind of it. That was like our first taste of America. It was like the stereotype of taxes.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Oh yeah. That's what you think of when you think going from LA to New York to Fort Worth is like the stereotype of Texas so good going from LA to New York to Fort Worth we got all corners hey fuck you this is the same country yeah it's wild
Starting point is 00:05:57 and so then we went back and we were like we need to do an RV trip because like so many of our subscribers are like you need to see small town America you guys just went to all the big cities well we kept getting told you didn't see America you saw big city America and they were like that's not the same and they wanted us to come back and just you know see a lot more and so did we like I felt like we wanted to just like the more of America we see the more we want to see oh yeah and that sentence is such a uniquely American sentence and I love it that if you only saw the cities you didn't see America yeah yeah that's what we were
Starting point is 00:06:29 told so yeah yeah so we thought hey what better way to see a whole bunch of small towns than to get an RV and just drive five and a half weeks see everything yeah Yosemite so far has been like holy shit this is gorgeous Yosemite was amazing we saw a fucking fly oh yeah get it in the eyes no but um yeah yeah like yellowstone no yosemite was amazing that was actually probably your favorite out of the national park wasn't it yeah but yellowstone was amazing for me because we saw our first ever grizzly bear in the wild there's oh wow there's there are no bears in New Zealand. That's like seeing a unicorn.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Would you rather be alone in the woods with that or a man? Do you know that thing? It's okay. Is that a boy joke? No, it's like a TikTok joke. It's an extremely political American joke. It is. It's a huge trend with
Starting point is 00:07:24 TikTok. I don't know tactics I don't know it's political no it's not not political it's just a weird-ass is it political bad was the bear or a man political or not. It was more like... Oh. Okay. Okay. So we have to ask Nadine that question. Now that you say that, I'm not saying that. So if you're in the woods with your girls, right? You're having a girls camping trip.
Starting point is 00:07:50 It's by yourself or is it with girls? By yourself. By yourself, I think. You're walking through the woods. Or women would ask their husbands or their fathers, it's like,
Starting point is 00:07:58 would you want your daughter alone in the woods with a bear or a strange man? You don't know. What kind of bear? Seriously, what kind of bear? You say what kind of bear, but I say what kind of bear. Excuse me, what kind of bear? What kind of bear? Seriously, what kind of bear? Excuse me, what kind of bear? What kind of bear?
Starting point is 00:08:09 If it's a koala, like, I don't give a shit. I'll roll the dice on that one. If you get merged by a koala, I can't help you. Black bear and polar bear is a huge disparity. Calling you an STD, that's fine. No, they do. What? They have syphilis.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Yeah. All koalas. You didn't know that? No. I didn't know where you were going with that, dude. I'm like, no, it's science. I'm not just shouting out STDs. I'm like, what are your intentions with the bear?
Starting point is 00:08:39 Koalas have two functions. They're going to eat eucalyptus and have syphilis. Yeah. That's it. Just like Al Capone. It's like, Eli, whoa, calm down. Eli just like straight up,
Starting point is 00:08:51 we're six minutes, nine minutes into a podcast, and he's like, so anyway, fucking a koala. Jesus Christ. Thank you for having my back on that. I mean, it's an Australian thing. We don't identify with that. We're New Zealanders, but we don't even have koala bears we got nothing there yeah pretty much what what does new zealand have like what's way back to the question bear or man okay bear or man oh that's tough because i think i would say man
Starting point is 00:09:15 you would rather run into a man in the woods than a bear yes okay but i don't know bears because we don't have them so i just know them as like real scary. Like I'm going to absolutely maul you. Nope, that's the point. Right. Correct idea. So yeah, I'd go with a man. Yep, good job. It was weird.
Starting point is 00:09:31 A lot of girls were saying, how many girls? On TikTok it was like, I'd rather have a bear. They all have blue hair. But wait, do they both have syphilis? Probably. Jesus Christ. Just getting into semantics here. Come on yeah not enough information to answer this question brandon wanted to fuck a koala
Starting point is 00:09:50 not now not now i saved his life you got roped into that like it on me. It's like that got the fuck in the reverse because we can't remember. This next one for Congress is going to be dope. Have any of you guys been to Australia or New Zealand? No. No plans or anything like that? Dude, we're 100% going. We're going to the...
Starting point is 00:10:19 We're 100% going fucking where? To New Zealand. And we're going to go to the green... What's that dragon? The green dragon? Oh, yeah. Hobbiton. Yeah, we're going to go to the green... What's the dragon? The green dragon? What's the hobbit bar? Yeah, Hobbiton. Yeah, we're going to Hobbiton.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Oh, for sure. We filmed a video there. Yeah, we did. Like the Shire? Yeah. That's there. I went to the Shire. Wait, I was making a joke.
Starting point is 00:10:36 No, it's a bar and everything. You can get shit. Oh, yeah. It's a small bar? Where they filmed it and everything? Yeah. Okay. So Eli just walks in his normal size.
Starting point is 00:10:44 Yeah. I just walk in and don't have to crash down. crash down like ah mexicans as far as i can see and hobbits yeah that's the same place that they actually shot the movie and they just kept it all original yeah and then in fact recently because it all just used to be like facades on the side of the hill so you couldn't you open up the door and it was just dirt so they didn't have any real hobbit holes but now they've actually fully furnished the interior everyone and you can go inside walk around yeah and if you want it you can do like a full dinner they bring you out like you know the old school like chicken and you know beans oh yeah we did that yeah it's really good medieval what's an old
Starting point is 00:11:14 school chicken versus a modern chicken like it's just cooked it's just you know it's just drumsticks the colonel didn't get a hold of it. It's not fucking deep fried. And as the ugly American, I don't want it. I want to have the things that the FDA allows only in this country. I like everyone's learning. STDs. Not pointing at you that you have them.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Koalas. No, my doctor made sure I knew about STDs a while ago. Hobbiton. These are great things in New Zealand. That's where I'm down to go. Yeah. That place is fucking dope. You've named one thing.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Hobbiton. There's two. STDs in Hobbiton. No, STDs in Australia. Okay, never mind. Those are in New Zealand. Wow, New Zealand's cool, right? Wow.
Starting point is 00:12:04 We're progressive. Little people in dick warts. Wow, New Zealand's cool. We're progressive. Little people in dick warts. Thanks, Eli. I mean, we can see the real Mount Doom from our bedroom window. Yeah, we can. Seriously. The eye just looks at them when they look out the window.
Starting point is 00:12:22 It's like the las vegas sphere okay so you've seen a grizzly bear and you're like i'm assuming you're in a vehicle okay so we jumped out we were at a ranch and they take you out on a thing called a yellowstone day they take you out like a big van there's maybe like 10 of us and the whole day lasted you know nine to ten hours and we i was just the whole day i was just like look i don't care where we go like old faithful great cool all that stuff i want to see a grizzly bear that's just like my ultimate and so we got about i don't know nine and a half hours into the day i'd almost given up hope and we were just heading on the road back outside the east gate and then it was nadine and denzel who was sitting in the very
Starting point is 00:13:11 back of the van i was i stole the front seat because i had my camera and everything and all i heard was bear bear bear behind me and i look out there and i say bear too at the same time so we just screeched onto the side and the thing is is we were the first ones to see it normally you pull up on like a whole bunch of people who are all you know with their cameras and everything all standing around so you join the queue we were the first ones there and it was this beautiful mum and her cub and she and we're not joking yeah we're not joking we pulled out because it was like the perfect situation because we put like there was like this pond or like really small lake it was maybe like 35 yards away from us because there was a body of water between us. We everybody felt safe
Starting point is 00:13:47 Yeah, just walk on the edge. Yeah, like those are out of the car. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, we're right like one and a half the distance of this room and then that would have been the Grizzlies standing right there Yeah What kind of gun? A Glocks 45 What kind of guy? He was a good guy, he's from Missouri Yeah, he was really cool Shout out to Craig
Starting point is 00:14:13 Grizzlies are terrifying I want a rifle Everyone else jumped out too So we were like, oh sweet I'll just be faster We have a buffer zone Grab the.45 Everyone else jumped out too, so we were like, oh, sweet. Cool. I'll just be faster. Yeah, exactly. Grab the 45. We have a buffer zone. Yeah, grab the 45.
Starting point is 00:14:28 Shoot the slow guy in the leg. We need a bear to get down first. Do you guys see the hot springs and all that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So the crazy thing is, though, is that in New Zealand, especially the area that we're from, Lake Taupo.
Starting point is 00:14:41 So if you think about this, Lake Taupo is twice the size of Lake Yellowstone. And it's natural. It's um the crater of a super volcano just like yellowstone too still active so yeah and we've got like hot you know hot pools we've got the like we don't have many geysers but we have we have like we have loads of steam steam vents and stuff like that if you wake up early in the morning you drive down a highway like you know two minutes outside of our house, the whole land is just rising with steam from all the volcanic activity. And we have those colored pools and stuff as well.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Like I think you guys call them paint pots. Yeah. Oh yeah. Those like real hot colored pools. You guys need to go to Yellowstone. Have you been? No, no,
Starting point is 00:15:18 I haven't. None of us have. You've explored more. Paint pots? Yep. And they're really bright colored, like blue and orange. Wow. Have any of us have. You've explored more. Paint pots? Yep. And they're really bright colored like blue and orange. Wow. Have any of us?
Starting point is 00:15:28 Loads of different colors. They're like boiling with water. Yeah. Is the water so hot that you can't touch it? No, no. You can see it's actually like boiling. Oh, that's an acidic one. It's something else too, right?
Starting point is 00:15:40 It's not just water. Like sulfur. Sulfur. Sulfuric. You ever hear the stories of people falling in those yellowstone yeah we got those in new zealand too yeah a couple years ago there's a guy like his dog fell in and he went to save his dog and jumped in just boiled him no you just boil just boiled him yeah it happened um in new zealand as well on rota raw yeah yeah it was a kid i think
Starting point is 00:15:59 climb the fence yes it was sad i like when people ignore ignore fences. Like, meh. Yeah. Meh. To be fair, though, Yellowstone didn't even have any fences. No, there was way less protection than New Zealand. Okay. This is America. You guys present that problem. We actually noticed that. So we went on the sand dunes in Idaho.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Oh, yeah. We were hiring one of those. Buggies. Like a. Sand rail. Side by side. Yeah, side by side. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:24 And they just dropped it off and said have fun good luck have fun yeah didn't even tell me how to put the thing in drive it was like no idea it did not work like a normal car i was sitting there for a while like 45 minutes of like do's and don'ts and all the things we call that a self-correcting error well i think i think it works better. Trial and error. That's the old meme. Let's just take the safety labels off of everything and see what happens. Brandon, how fast did you learn how to jump?
Starting point is 00:16:55 How fast did I learn how to jump? Out of planes? Yeah. I did jump school in under 24 hours. Yeah. Like all five jumps. Now that I think about that, that would probably be mind-blowing to a lot of people. That's static line. So, yeah. So, can you become a commercial pilot in four and a half hours? Now that I think about that, that would probably be mind-blowing to a lot of people. That's static line.
Starting point is 00:17:08 So can you become a commercial pilot in four and a half hours? No, it's a lot harder to fly a plane. It depends on your race and gender. Me and Brandon. That's an actual plane. You're really good at that. So you did five jumps in 24 hours, and then they just like a badge on your back and said you're good to go oh they pinned it to my chest with their fist but yeah pretty much close enough okay wow that's i did one tandem and then jump wow and that was it yeah i did and that was
Starting point is 00:17:39 free fall wow i did do one tandem like a year prior but oh yeah yeah you don't remember how they land or anything no i remember falling out of a plane you'll figure that's the cool part about static line though is that the plane does the work all i have to do is jump out of it and know what to do when it gets tangled yeah versus free fall you have to learn you just have to know which still insanity to me is uh the first dudes that jumped from free fall yeah it sounds so easy to float or just like maintain a body position that is the hardest thing in the world to do your body goes wherever it wants you are a bag of shit just bouncing around wow yeah you have to really figure out how to hold position in order to control where you're going in the air
Starting point is 00:18:24 has it more to do with like technique physical strength? Oh no, physical strength fucks you because you try to fight it. Learn that for like three days straight. In the tunnels, like the wind tunnels bouncing off the fucking walls? Because you learn in a tunnel, an air tunnel, and then you try to fight it. If you put any pressure, your body just slams against the wall really quick. Imagine having to learn that without being in a wind tunnel first. Without the guys who did it before those existed.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Do you know how they teach it before wind tunnels? On little scoot boards. They're just like, keep your hips down and put your body up. We're going to push you on a scoot board. Good. You look good. You look good. And they threw you out of a fucking plane. That was different. They taught us. They basically good you look good you look good and he threw out of a fucking plane this is way different yeah
Starting point is 00:19:05 jesus yeah they they taught us uh they basically put us in our parachute rig all that shit and then they hoisted us from basically like an automatic cherry picker they just picked us up like all right now right all right now left all right you know how to do it getting that fucking sesna we're tossing you out of a plane. Like what altitude are we talking? Between, I want to say, 1,000 and 2,500 feet. Oh, okay. Different heights. Wow.
Starting point is 00:19:35 So interestingly, I think Taupo, where we are from, is the only sky diving, is that correct? Yeah. Place that doesn't have an age limit. So a lot of American YouTubers that want to do it, they come to Taupo because your children can jump out of planes which is so weird because we're just talking about all of our safety things and how american is like yes we got one point yeah we did we got one point so there's no weird one to just wait no don't worry about the hype for this right just go see your kids can jump out of planes yeah yeah i imagine whoever the uh well maybe the
Starting point is 00:20:06 the chinese miner who's stitching this child's parachute has got to have mixed feelings about it a parachute rigged for a six-year-old like this feels wrong do you have any bad habits that you need an alternative to no why do you ask well have you ever heard of the flavored air category no tons why it's quickly becoming the leading alternative to bad habits is that the one that's a whole new movement towards better habits led by the sponsor of today's video fume fume is an award-winning flavored air device with flavors like crisp mint and orange vanilla fume draws flavor to your mouth hole and there's no vapor so you can use it anywhere there's no
Starting point is 00:20:44 nicotine it's not addictive non-toxic's no vapor, so you can use it anywhere. There's no nicotine. It's not addictive. Non-toxic flavors. And no batteries, so you never have to worry about charging it or what happens when it dies and you freak out. It's a guilt-free alternative. It looks awesome. Brandon, feel the weighted cool design. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:20:58 It's almost like it's made to fidget with. Like it calms anxiety through the use of magnets and things. Which of the core flavors is your favorite, Brandon and Cody? Crisp mint. I like orange vanilla. It's like a cream stickle. Fume has served over 300,000 customers. And you could be the next success story.

Starting point is 00:21:31 I like all of our faces looking. He's turning his mic down. I'm turning his mic down. Getting nervous saying it. Everyone's looking at me now. vegan a crossfitter a volunteer firefighter and someone who jumps goes into a bar which one tells you about the shit they do first oh that's tough they didn't ask how i knew back to crossfit do you guys know how to do crossfit i have a question you said you got a raptor yeah i do we can bleep that out if you don't want people to know what car you drive one of my latest videos was me uploading a video about
Starting point is 00:22:17 putting an upgrade in it how big of a pain it like did you have to import a specific car that you want because i know some countries it's really hard to get like over in the uk it's really hard to get hellcats and dodge challengers and then it's like because you guys i'm assuming you import all your vehicles you don't have any domestically made no no there's nothing and the the majority of vehicles is japanese so all of your japanese brands yeah we've had that for the longest time but then we start getting things like ford and like chevys and you start seeing like we i mean we've got actually quite a big classic car scene there so you see like balayers and you know old school you know camaros and dodgers and stuff but uh for me i've actually got a ford ranger raptor so not a you guys think it's so cute little i've got i've got i've got the baby brother
Starting point is 00:22:59 so i've never heard yeah i don't have the f-150. So my one is a 3-liter V6 twin-turbo gas engine. It's about 400 and something horsepower. Wait, is it the size of a Ranger, though? Yes. Whoa. This one worked out in front of Reece the other day. 500 horsepower? Jeez.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Yeah. That thing rips. Yeah, 0 to 60 in about like five seconds. Does it get stolen a lot? Yeah, they can do, yeah. Yeah, not so much the Raptors. I mean, you can't drive south of the border of New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Well, there is the South Island. We're not joking. So all our friends have had Raptors. They've been broken to. Cody, how many times has your vehicle been broken to? Nine times. Brandon, how many times has your been broken to and then stolen? About a half dozen, then stolen. That's two people.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Here, only in San antonio that is just in the last two years richard ryan too man yeah richard ryan that's a thing here oh yeah like raptors are targeted like oh it doesn't have to be a raptor just for raptors because yeah that's one of the nice parts because it's security issues and things that's one of the nice parts about uh like areas like this of texas is that like people don't really break into houses because they know there's a gun behind every fucking door, but they'll break into your car when you're not around. So what are they taking from the car when they break in?
Starting point is 00:24:11 The cash guns, just petty crime, you know, just taking a chance, seeing what they can find, just popping doors, looking for cash guns, electronics.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Yeah. Our most, the most stolen car in New Zealand is actually a Subaru Impreza. That's the yeah because apparently it was the back window
Starting point is 00:24:27 was the easiest thing to pop out in the world so apparently everybody just went around doing that I had that happen to my Impreza
Starting point is 00:24:33 back in the day the Raptor even Ford knows it's just like a screwdriver you hit it it doesn't set off the alarm
Starting point is 00:24:39 and then you can just take it off the driver's side door handle thing and yeah it unlocks it well ours has been sitting for nine weeks, so I hope it's still there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:48 You're going to find out when you get home. Undercover. I miss it. Yeah, big time. Sick of the rentals. I didn't even know they made Rangers. I learned something new about cars. Yeah, look it up.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Ranger Raptor. Just watch my video. I did a whole video on it. I think it's going to rip. Oh, yeah. Like stupid. Had a lot of fun. In fact, the reason that I uploaded that video is because I'm starting the journey of making New Zealand's fastest Ranger Raptor.
Starting point is 00:25:09 Oh, wow. So I'm going to try and go all out. Yeah. I'm going to try and make that happen. He's got the only one. I was going to say. In Australia, they've got a big scene for that. They've got like, you know.
Starting point is 00:25:19 They have crazy trucks. Yes. Yeah. Australia's got a massive truck scene where they, I mean, there's like 10 second Raptors and quarter mile doesn't 10 seconds. So they just go crazy. It's been since like early two thousands. It was during the import scene in America.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Then they had the truck scene in Australia and a lot of the oil field guys. I don't know why I fucking know this. A lot of the oil field guys would go and buy the, I forget there's a specific truck that just rips. Holden. Is that the one? A Holden. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:46 So they, they're crazy. They're like, um, they don't even look like a truck. It's like, they're like almost like a sports car, but just with like a truck bed added to the back of it.
Starting point is 00:25:55 And it's just two seats in the front and it's like a supercharged V8. Yeah. Yeah. Kind of like that. Yeah. 700 horsepower. Stop. Like that's the low end model.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Yeah. Fucking tarded trucks. Yeah. Yeah yeah that's crazy yeah yeah and then now where you go what's the next place you're gonna uh after san antonio where are you guys going uh heading up towards like uh dallas fort worth arlington that whole area up there yeah gonna see morgan wallen check out a texas rangers baseball Nice. Yeah. Lots of sports around here. Yeah, yeah. And my auntie's got family in Dallas, so we're going to meet them there as well. Kids are going to meet up and hop in the swimming pool and, yeah,
Starting point is 00:26:33 have like just relax for once. Because it's been nine weeks of like psycho, just go, go, go. So finally. We kind of do like travel vlogs. Cody does his vlogs. And then you're the only one that does vlog out of the group right i think so you know nick does i don't for patreon but yeah are you vlog for patreon yeah oh that's cool yeah yeah they're not they're not very high effort right
Starting point is 00:26:56 we've done a daily vlog every day oh wow yeah so we've had people like follow like every single day i do just like a there's a caveat everyone is shot in vertical so yeah just as a warning different yeah to what we do on youtube but yeah yeah yeah it's like like real time you know yeah that's cool yeah that is i have a question for nick oh boy so how come uh out of all the different, you know, you brought up the reaction channels that watch your stuff on this podcast. What, what made you reach out to us? I got tagged like a hundred times that you guys wanted to shoot guns in America. Cause you were coming through. Oh, really? So I'll get ahold of them. Don't get any fucking ideas. It only works once, but there's not many, I mean, most reaction channels are American based. So it's like they Don't get any fucking ideas. It only works once.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Most reaction channels are American-based, so they have that opportunity all the time. You guys were coming to America, so I figured, why not? You got Vegemite for us to try? I wanted to try some. Stop it. We've got a toaster.
Starting point is 00:28:04 We've got bread. We've got cheese. You're shitting me. We've got a toaster, we've got bread, we've got cheese, we've got butter, we've got Vegemite. Ever since that song from Men at Work, I've never had Vegemite. Have you guys had Vegemite? The gang has a Vegemite sandwich. Yeah, we do. Trout's getting it going.
Starting point is 00:28:18 I am weirdly excited. I feel like Nick has a sweater on all the time because your hair is just... Like every time I'm like, damn. Like, I'm like, his sweater's a town. No, that's his arm. Wait, he has tattoos.
Starting point is 00:28:38 He has little sleeves. This is why I like it when Rich comes to town. It's also why we can't sit by each other. It's not because I booped him that one time. It's if our triceps rub, it'll start a fire. It's a hairy man. It's like Velcro. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Guys, get over the bar. They're stuck again. I think we're having trouble with the toaster. You guys don't have toasters here, right? We have toasters. We're fucking America. Do you eat toast? Jesus. Have you guys never heard of these?
Starting point is 00:29:10 They eat bread. What else would we take back? Literally, the first food that mankind developed, the Americans probably haven't figured out how to cook it twice. There's no way.
Starting point is 00:29:27 No American has ever been like, man, I love bread. Put it in the oven again. I will say that with a caveat, they may not have made it to Indiana by the looks of it. What do I do? Dr. Avery, honestly. We just come in tongues. It's tea kettles that we don't have here. That's what we don't have. That's more out of principle. So do we just toast it to like a one
Starting point is 00:30:00 so it's a nice brown and then put it on? Our electricity is only 120 volts what do you guys use yeah i noticed that we use 240 yeah it's nonsense yeah yeah but how many times did we get asked do you guys have wi-fi down there oh yeah yeah i'm from iowa people ask if we have roads yeah we've been asked that before yeah yeah discover the exciting action of bed mgm casino check out a wide variety of table games with a live dealer or enjoy over 3 000 games to choose from like cash eruption We'll be right back. or concerns about gambling or someone close to you, please contact Connex Ontario at 1-866-531-2600 to speak to an advisor free of charge. Then MGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Or are you just on gravel, like dirt road? You know? No, I don't know. Do we need an Atlanta to set this up? She knows how to make it perfectly. A lot of the people have experience. Or do we let them figure it out? He can make the toast.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Wait, is there a specific way we do this He's gotta fuck it up Oh if it's all in the preparation Right right Okay do you need to cook the toast too Should the woman get in the kitchen No in America we just shoot the bread until it's I was questioning why you left the kitchen
Starting point is 00:31:22 Why is she here talking I used to have to wrap a bread on a gun barrel and fire it properly. I was like, why is she here talking? New Zealand's weird. Eli's internal dialogue at the beginning of the episode. Maybe the recipe's in the white claw? I think the way that they say it down there is progressive you guys like maybe roshan came out of his pocket what have i got myself into what is that even made out of did you might yeah uh so okay i'll spoil the surprise we normally we normally tell people who try it after they've had it,
Starting point is 00:32:07 and sometimes I play a bit of a cool trick and I say, you know, it's cow brain paste or something like that, and they have a moment. Oh, it's like head cheese. Yeah. Can we get that here? Kind of. But anyway, it's actually just... There's so many ways they can go.
Starting point is 00:32:20 It's just... Schmegma is the word. Schmegma. It's just a byproduct of brewing beer. Really? That's what you scrape out of the bottom ofegma it's just a a byproduct of brewing beer really huh that's what you scrape scrape out of the bottom of the vats when all your brewing process is done
Starting point is 00:32:29 and instead of throwing it in the waste like what most of you guys probably do here is they actually just treat it and turn it
Starting point is 00:32:37 and like you know add some certain ingredients and then they just turn into a spread and there's no alcohol in it it's just the zero alcohol yep
Starting point is 00:32:44 it's just a byproduct it's it never took off here wait till you in it. It's just the byproduct. It never took off here. Wait until you try it. We haven't tasted it yet, so we might know. I've heard. It's amazing. It's one of our favorites. I know. I'll have it every morning if I had to for breakfast. It's a breakfast thing. More or less. You can have it as a snack. We'll prepare it two different ways. The more common way is probably just toast with butter and vegemite and then there's also same thing but just with a little bit of melted cheese on top
Starting point is 00:33:13 and that kind of cuts through the vegemite because it's a very strong salty taste so have a bit of cheese and that kind of levels thing out a little bit you know it's like yeah it's just i'm interested greatest thing on earth but there's you can go crazy with it like my mom she grew up on veggie mike cucumber sandwiches think about that you have how much beer are you guys brewing a lot do i gotta be fucked up to enjoy it i'm being led to believe i need to be there's only one reason they discovered it, eh? Because it was the byproduct of the beer. They were so drunk, like, I'm hungry.
Starting point is 00:33:50 This is all we got. After we drank all the beer. Go take shots. What's that? Need another drink? Yeah, one more with two things. Damn, okay. The girl's like, we're shit wrecked.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Nice. Has it to do with us? No. Oh, okay. I was going to say, if we say something weird like a Kiwi word or something. Thank you. That's probably definitely what the guy is doing. Something stupid.
Starting point is 00:34:21 Cody says something racist. Here we go again. But what if it's an Elmo's favorite song? You guys are in for a ride. Shit. Is there a seatbelt on the seatbelt? What did we sign up for? It's not family friendly.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Click. No, it's all good. We just have fun. That's always like. Yeah. It's what does the best. Because as you've seen in America, you get all this like completely separate, everyone yelling at each other. So this is that. We just make dark jokes.
Starting point is 00:34:59 And then we have the most fantastic group of people. I'm going to say it that way. I was about to say you almost said the word i almost said the word group of people out there that just always rally behind it laugh they're some of the the nicest kindest humans ever and i will say the same for the guys no matter like the dark jokes whatever yeah everyone get cut like put into the slots it's all bullshit there these are some of the best humans i've ever met in my entire life and i would not trade any of these friendships for any of the pieces of out
Starting point is 00:35:31 there that are i mean we've we've cultivated an amazing community here yeah cheers you weren't getting out of that one yeah but you look at like the communities on reddit or anything like that god damn it drinking they just suck and they're like where we burn that that sucks i would never want to be part of that no well after everyone having a good time all fucking day imagine spending your entire life trying to figure out why you should be angry and somebody else shouldn't have a job yeah it's like no if it's funny, it's funny. I don't really care. Joke's about me.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Was it funny? It's my first game. I mean, if it was funny, then go for it. There was a comment on the Tiny Guns 3 thing that cracked me up. It was like, imagine serving in that war and these guys downplay it by making a skit of it. If somebody shows the war on G-Wat and makes a skit of it like if somebody down if somebody shows the war on g hot and makes a skit of it i'm gonna laugh at it not gonna be like oh that hurt my feet we literally the day it came out we're sitting next to two guys who were there yes literally the day
Starting point is 00:36:36 came out two world war two vets we should have showed it to oh god as he told never mind wait what story about the picture it was like i heard that story from a 99-year-old man. Oh, right. The picture of his high school girlfriend in the foxhole. Oh, yeah. Then when he was done with it, he let his buddies borrow it. Wait, what? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:56 What? You let that. You were there, Eli. You were there. Did he say that? Oh, almost positive. He said that. Maybe I was misinterpreted.
Starting point is 00:37:03 He was in a foxhole. He was like, hey, pass it over this way. I don't think he said,. Maybe I was misinterpreted. He was in a foxhole. Hey, pass it over this way. I don't think he said yeah. Did he? Never mind. We're at war. That's how it was. Oh, Don. Then he had a flame. There we go.
Starting point is 00:37:16 Oh, boy. Yeah, we went to the Pacific War Museum today. Huge. Saw all the stuff they had there. Where is that? It's like 30 minutes from here. They had, so during the attack on Pearl Harbor,
Starting point is 00:37:31 there was five Japanese, you're going to have to bleep this part out because you can't say **** on YouTube, by the way. Really? I found that out the hard way. I did not fucking hear that. You can't say **** on YouTube. Anyways, it's a Japanese little person submarine,
Starting point is 00:37:43 and there were five of them that snuck into the attack on Pearl Harbor. Four of them got sank and one of them ended up beaching itself and they have the actual submarine there. The Japanese Bridget. Wow. The Bridget submarine. Wait, hold on. Was that built for that or just regular Japanese
Starting point is 00:38:00 people? God damn it Eli. The submarines are small, not the people that operate them dude imagine a submarine beaching on your shore and five fucking get out of it and you're just like what the fuck is going on I guess you should shoot
Starting point is 00:38:34 are they kids? I don't know are they kids? what the fuck it immediately goes to like man you think in all the museums in the world there's at least a really small set of samurai armor. There had to be one.
Starting point is 00:38:51 That's it. Aim low, boys. They're riding Shetland ponies. It's a two piglet sword. It's just like the minivan coming across the border in South Texas and 30 people. A clown car submarine full of... Anyways, they had a really small sob that was operated by two full
Starting point is 00:39:07 grown men so i'm surprised they have a full uh pacific theater museum this far inland uh so it's in the hotel that general nimitz was born in uh so general nimitz was like top dog in the u.s navy during world war ii so there's the link. Yeah. Okay, cool. So, but yeah, it was a really good museum. My, my grandfather,
Starting point is 00:39:28 my grandfather was a fighter pilot in world war two. No, sure. And the Pacific theater. Oh yeah. So I, my biological father who I didn't really know that much growing up, it was weird because at around the age of like 13,
Starting point is 00:39:41 14, I just developed this insane like obsession with world war ii aviation i'd like you know mustangs and spitfires and yeah all that sort of stuff it's your autism you get to choose the special interest and so uh and then i i met my biological father for the first time something like my early 20s and he brought along with like an album with him and he showed me all these pictures of him uh sorry his grandfather like in his corsair his mustang his kitty hawk or his war hawk as you would call it and all these different i mean like this guy's crazy he would he would begin the strafing run on like a warship in front of him a japanese warship he would let go of the controls of the plane get out his camera look through the
Starting point is 00:40:19 sights with his camera take a photo and put it back down and then carry on with his mission he was and i've seen I've seen that photo Yeah, it's insane. Hey chat. So we're going Influencer yeah $5 dough drop a bomb. Yeah, so a long line of influence Yeah But but here's the kicker is that my biological father is like one of the biggest comedians in New Zealand history He was yeah. Yep had a whole bunch of like TV shows and everything Here's the kicker, is that my biological father is like one of the biggest comedians in New Zealand history. He was... Really?
Starting point is 00:40:46 Yep, had a whole bunch of like TV shows and everything. So it is weird how it kind of passes down through. No shit. Yeah. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh! Eli!

Oh for the hefty oh i shouldn't go hefty yeah okay got it thank you for the warning yeah no you're welcome oh boy doesn't smell like anything like jam maybe okay yeah what kind of flavor should we expect very salty it's not sweet at all a little bit tangy can we do a bite yeah go for it three cheers just do it be honest if you hate it
Starting point is 00:42:49 you hate it if you don't you know if it's okay it's okay it's just really salty it's like spicy cheese spicy cheese so there's no haters
Starting point is 00:42:56 that's terrible no this is really salty that's just salty as shit that's good yeah okay it's like salty buttered toast
Starting point is 00:43:03 it tastes like something yeah exactly really good why do people hate this I know you probably did it right That's good. It's like salty buttered toast. It tastes like something. Why do people hate this? You probably did it right. Americans are fucking it up. People try Vegemite and they feel like throwing up. They're like, this could kill a small child.
Starting point is 00:43:17 I was expecting one of us to project off based on the way that you were prepping it. We have a specific flavor. You're going to have the crackers, chicken, and a biscuit? Yep. It tastes just like chicken and a biscuit. A little saltier version of chicken and biscuit. Salty chicken. Try the cheese now.
Starting point is 00:43:30 You want one? This particular slice of cheese was, I don't know if it was one or two, but anyway. This is the normal weight. Oh my God. That's not terrible. Just go for it. It's really salty. Salty chicken and a biscuit.
Starting point is 00:43:40 If you like extra cheese, yeah, go for it. Yeah. Out there. Vegemite. A Vegemite sandwich. Just kind of fucks. What are you guys doing with cheese? I'm cool with it.
Starting point is 00:43:50 Yeah. That cheese is going to fuck me up. I'm fucked. Here's your stuff. Yeah. They're both. We have T-minus one hour. We got T-minus 15.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Eli, calm down. I'm like, oh, God. Tony got T minus 15. Eli, I'm down. I'm like, oh God. Tony, close this up. Higher. It hurts.
Starting point is 00:44:15 He's just sweating like his fucking pain. Okay, so Vegemite, what do we think? Honest opinion. Yeah. That's not terrible.
Starting point is 00:44:23 It's passable, right? Seven out of ten. Yeah. Oh, okay. See, it's all in the preparation. What do we think? Honest opinion. It's not terrible. It's passable, right? Seven out of ten. Yeah. Oh, okay. See, it's all in the preparation. Why do people hate that? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:44:30 With the cheese, too. I'm going to try the extra cheesy one, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do it. Sorry. I feel like Vegemite should start sponsoring us. Why are we not sponsored by Vegemite? We're out here getting rid of the myth that Vegemite is disgusting.
Starting point is 00:44:41 We're here breaking myths. Wait. This is an inside job for a big Vegemite. Is there, like, different brands? Or is it just, like... Okay. So here's the thing. rid of the myth that it's disgusting wait this is an inside job big vegemite is there like different brands just like okay so here's the thing okay okay trout gonna get one oh pass it around seconds seconds who wants seconds i can make more i mean i can literally get that i want to see what trout thinks of it do it yeah you saw how i did it so yo that's so good. Everybody seemed like they liked it. Told you.
Starting point is 00:45:07 All in the preparation. I love how you're coming to our country and now we're the ones who are now culturally enriched. But the thing is, our channel started by trying American snacks. You think it's me because we're all alcoholics. So one of our first videos ever was trying American foods for the first time. So that's why we flipped the script and we thought we'd bring our stuff that you guys traditionally have heard was terrible.
Starting point is 00:45:30 Can we even get that here? Like is that something? Amazon. Really? Amazon. Get yourself a three pack. Yeah. That is.
Starting point is 00:45:36 I tried something new today. Yeah. I'm telling you. It's undiscovered. It's undiscovered. Sorry. So like are there multiple brands or is this just like okay? So we should like okay, so there's one thing we should say and that the fact is that New Zealand is this it is to write
Starting point is 00:45:52 There's Vegemite and there's Marmite and so the difference in taste is very very small Like we would probably ought to tell it you guys probably wouldn't is Vegemite the brand yes okay so Vegemite's the brand it's the brand and the product it's actually made in Australia whereas Marmite was always traditionally made in Britain and because New Zealand is basically just like you know like a Britain part two so it's the same thing with worse teeth yeah pretty much yeah so we chose Vegemite naturally understood yeah water I would like a cheeseburger. He actually had to do that on the Google Maps. I was trying to speak to the car, and it was like, I don't know what the hell you're talking about. And I was like, I'm sorry, I need to actually go to this place. I put on a full American accent, and I was like, no problem.
Starting point is 00:46:55 You'll be there in 30 minutes. Gotcha, bro. Just question marks came up first. Reporting you to the local police. I've got an imposter. That's good. I'm pleasantly surprised. Okay, awesome.
Starting point is 00:47:16 Why do people shit on that? Exactly. Because they take a spoon and they go into the jar. That's stupid. You're just eating a spoon of salt at that point. You wouldn't like mayonnaise either. I don't like butter. Other countries are like
Starting point is 00:47:31 mayonnaise. It's disgusting. I was wondering why I liked it. I mean a spoonful of peanut butter or jelly is fine because that's what you normally put on toast. So you don't associate that kind of really like that you literally need like a thumbnail size piece on your knife and just use that for the whole bit and that's it that's it and that's
Starting point is 00:47:52 what you get well we don't get jelly in new zealand no jam we get jam just same thing you guys know the difference oh i know the difference we were told less bits of fruit. I don't know. Is this a boy joke? Okay, well. I entered that one prematurely. No, no, boy, man. You started it. Okay, go. No, I am going to say the boy joke. No, I have. Go on, Nick.
Starting point is 00:48:16 Oh, you can't jelly your d*** into an a**hole. It's a joke. Oh, my goodness. You asked, like, boy joke? Like, boy joke. Oh my goodness. You ask like, boy joke? Like, boy joke? Is that a new t-shirt on the merch store? It's a little bit more aggressive.
Starting point is 00:48:36 It's like, I can't jelly my d*** in your ass. We should say it one more time. Yeah, go for it. Just in case we might get monetized. So, you're New Zealand fans. So, you can't get jelly. You can't get boneless chicken wings because you guys haven't developed boneless chickens yet.
Starting point is 00:48:56 What else do you not have? No. Wait, that's why we haven't bred them yet. Your guys' FDA doesn't allow the modification of boneless chickens. If you think you've heard a horrible sound, just wait until you visit a boneless chicken farm. He's rolling around on the ground. He's slapping the chicken. It just sounds like the movie's playing.
Starting point is 00:49:31 It's like fucking the thing. Cronenberg Morty. I'm fucking crying. I'm having a good time. See? We need like wait hold the fuck up boneless chicken like or not boneless chicken boneless chicken wings aren't a thing they're chicken nuggies they don't have chicken nuggies we got chicken nuggets but we don't have like boneless wings so like the chicken nuggets yeah exactly and they they look and taste kind of. They're like that dodgy kind of chicken. You guys have McDonald's?
Starting point is 00:50:08 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Like what restaurants do you not have that we have here? What's the difference between the two? I got McDonald's has different menus in different parts of the world. McDonald's menu is almost the same, but we still get fried apple pies. Yeah, deep fried. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Yeah. You guys haven't had that since like 1992? Weirdly, I think your, is it FDA? I don't know. The food thing? FDA. Said that the deep fried apple pie from McDonald's was no longer good for health. And it was banned across America.
Starting point is 00:50:37 But everything else on the menu is great. But you guys did deep fried cheesecake. Yeah. Oh yeah. That's the stuff. So I don't know why they picked on the apple pie from McDonald's, but anyway, we still get it. When does fast grocery delivery through Instacart matter most?

Starting point is 00:51:32 of that we don't have we did you guys try in and out yet yeah yes okay oh yeah yeah we did which is good it was great filet though is the one you need to try we tried it we tried it loved it yeah fantastic yeah it was really documented. Loved it. God's chicken. Fantastic. It was really good. You can now go to heaven. Nice. As long as you're not dirty. Wait, do you guys, okay, they're probably like, what do you mean? That's a thing here.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Oh, it is? Yeah, Chick-fil-A is very controversial. I know. I know about it. Yeah, like closed on Sundays and everything. Yeah, well, they're very, they're just it's it's a very christian company like they're not open on sundays and then i think like in 2012 the owner said that he thought that marriage was between a man and a woman and they've tried to cancel the restaurant ever since but the chicken's just too fucking good it's the way they make their sandwiches the the pickles don't touch just like god intended how have i never heard that one and is the chicken barnless makes more sense because i went in and i asked i was like i'll
Starting point is 00:52:38 pay for two sandwiches but you just do like one spicy chicken patty and one regular chicken patty in the same bun and they said absolutely not so really basically yeah that's not how i've gone into them in the eyes and made it in front of them stop me the homeschool kid in front of you just doesn't get paid enough to care no it's that girl from the meme. Oh, God. No sauce? No Chick-fil-A sauce? Yeah, that's right. I could have gone without seeing that Meat Canyon video. Yeah, Meat Canyon made a great video on that one.
Starting point is 00:53:16 What else does America have that you guys don't have or you can't get a hold of? Machine guns. Yeah, that's fair. What was the story story I know Australia's origin story if not good I know why New Zealand did that's a quick one
Starting point is 00:53:34 it's not a good one the Tasmania shooting that would have been Christchurch right yeah that's a more recent one but they have one in Tasmania and Australia. And then after that, they basically just banned most semi-automatics or military-style semi-automatics. But then we had an interesting chat with someone in the Buffalo Bill Museum about guns in America and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:53:58 And they're like, if you had no mass shootings before that event and then you had none since, they said they asked the question, how can you then credit the ban on the military-style semi-automatics for stopping any future shootings? So was it just an outlier to begin with? You know what I mean? Yeah. Also, most New Zealanders didn't have any semi-automatic rifles.
Starting point is 00:54:21 So when our government said you have to hand them in it was a buyback so you had to like so my brother had a particular magazine style in his gun and he had to go in and they purchased it off him this is the police buyback yeah um and they yeah hardly anyone in new zealand actually has those type of rifles anyway that was more to do with the magazine capacity right not that they told the government about, of course. But I think it was held up as this big, like, everyone should do what New Zealand did. But actually, it didn't affect New Zealand massively
Starting point is 00:54:55 actually making that rule anyway, because hardly anyone had those kind of guns anyway. So, yeah, it was just one of those things. Before I came on the podcast i did like some reading up on the history of gun guns in new zealand and laws and everything like that and so in 1992 they brought out the arms regulation and this was like the defining sentence which i thought you guys would like to hear was that uh this legislation is designed to create an environment where owning a firearm in new zealand
Starting point is 00:55:25 is more of a privilege than a right yeah at least they came out and said it yeah it's like the archer quote it's like no you're in america now you just imply it yeah so that was kind of like that sentence kind of defined my research on the history of guns in new zealand it was it was more about so what they do is they they um they instead of registering the firearm they registered the person so they kind of they stop it at the person so it's like is that person fit and proper i mean when i got my firearms license she had to get interviewed about my mental health it's like he wasn't even in the room so they said do you feel comfortable with your husband having a gun and do you feel comfortable with your husband having a gun?
Starting point is 00:56:06 And do you feel comfortable with his mental state and all that kind of thing? So with mascara running, you went, yeah. And I was like, thank goodness she lied.
Starting point is 00:56:13 I said, yeah, I'm totally comfortable. They actually have to like look around your house and make sure that you've got like a safe place to put your firearms
Starting point is 00:56:20 and everything. Like it's like a, you have to have a safe, a pretty intrusive. It's kind of like having an FFL here in the, the u.s really having a federal firearms license like if you're going to be a dealer or manufacturer or anything like that they they come they do an in-person interview like that you can't you have to have an absolutely clean background they have to prove that you have like a a location that has safe firearm storage it's pretty similar but that not
Starting point is 00:56:42 for just typical firearm owners right it's for like machine guns suppressors manufacturing anything like that or any NFL really yeah the guns itself that's what you have to go through yeah there's weird all the laws are just like all over the place that's why it's very confusing to a lot of people if you just hop in you're like like we could show you a pistol AR versus an SBR versus a rifle AR, and you could not. It's the same exact gun, but two of them are felonies. Yeah. And then you would look at them and be like, what's the difference?
Starting point is 00:57:13 It's like, oh, see that foregrip that's vertical on the shorter one? Ten years. Ten years in prison. Yeah. And then every state is different. So if we were to drive across the country, some of the things in our vehicles would be like oh it's legal oh it's a felony oh it's legal again oh it's
Starting point is 00:57:30 a felony these two states up it's legal again gets a bit confusing my favorite part is that you can take a you know a belt fed like an m250 cal like you'd mount on a truck or a humvee or one of your recent videos had one right yeah exactly that yeah if you had a semi-automatic version of that anybody over 18 in most states could buy one you mean like the semi-auto one like you had in your video sure the semi-auto one i had in my video exactly right i get it no if you had like a legit like semi-auto m2 any 18 year old that had 15 grand could pretty much buy that and that's fine perfectly acceptable wow but if you had a pistol that shot 22 long rifle that had a two round burst function you would go to prison for 10 years tiny little bullets our firearm laws are so it's not matching
Starting point is 00:58:14 up clearly decided by people who don't understand them yeah okay that's where people get in trouble it's a weird thing and what kind of rifle or firearm do you own over? So I own a 30, 30 Henry side gate. Yeah. Like a repeater rifle is like, I just, I always wanted like a cowboy gun. Like ever since I was a kid,
Starting point is 00:58:34 I was just like, when I grew up, I didn't care about like, you know, hunting or anything like that. I just want like a cowboy gun. And I got like a real nice one with like engraving and stuff on it basically.
Starting point is 00:58:42 So I can pass it down to Denzel. Is that, that's one of the lever actions. Yeah. The reaction. Yeah. So I get, it's like beautiful gold with like theving and stuff on it basically so i can pass it down to denzel is that that's one of the lever actions yeah direction yeah side gate it's like beautiful gold with like the walnut and everything how much was that there versus i don't know so that i think that was almost 2000 new zealand so that would have been about 1200 us that's pretty comparable yeah that's not right yeah it's not bad yeah so it's about that but the problem is finding ammunition so 30 30 is not too common in new zealand so yes even after quigley down under yeah so sometimes i just go in and they're
Starting point is 00:59:10 just like no that was a different island oh was it really oh it's a swim away do you get it like with the ammo do you have to do anything with registration of ammo or you just get to go buy it no but you have to store in a separate safe to your firearm. What the fuck sense does that make? Yeah, exactly. It's self-defense. It's hand-to-hand. I think it's just their whole reasoning behind it.
Starting point is 00:59:33 I think, like, I could be wrong, but I think it is so that if, like, a person who doesn't own the firearm, like maybe a kid or whatever stumbles upon a safe that's open, they can't then put the bullet in the gun and then go and play with it or whatever. So it's kind of like this one of the axe murder breaks into your house you can run around and open two safes wait yeah i think i forgot the second code just give me a second like what the fuck is the code he's sitting there with his butcher knife just like tapping on the wall yeah okay you ready yet or if somebody was going to go out with ill intent you know it would take them an extra 75 seconds yeah exactly yeah you'd have to set your alarm for two minutes earlier that morning
Starting point is 01:00:14 so i actually tried to get a handgun in new zealand like a few years ago and i had to i started to just like unravel this process of like just how difficult it was so the only way you can own a handgun in New Zealand is if you're actually part of like a target shooting like competition club and you have to actively be visiting that and if you stop if you buy the handgun and you're in possession of it and then you stop attending the gun club they start paying visits to your house they start like why aren't you going you know what's going on here and for me like the nearest range that i could actually go and use a pistol that was like three hours drive so i was just like oh wow this is insane and and like i said
Starting point is 01:00:54 i mentioned earlier the gas prices i would yeah exactly that'll help uh so and then like i mentioned earlier um you know if the if you were to go to your gun club and participate in a competition you have to call up the police and say i'm leaving at 11 a.m this morning i'm going to be back at like 2 p.m and so taking my gun in the car the cops will have to know exactly where you are and when you're gonna be back you got pulled over and you had a gun in the car you were already cleared i can i can hear like brandon's brain i've been pulled over many times with just an armory in my backseat. And the cop's like... My whole thing is that
Starting point is 01:01:28 if you're going to go do something criminal or something that they were trying to stop by putting in laws like this, I'm just imagining. Obviously, you're not going to call the police and tell them you're going to go do anything. They're just looking at like, alright, so who called in this morning?
Starting point is 01:01:47 They're like, damn, we've got no leads. Exactly. That's pretty much it. I got a bank robbery too. I'm taking my gun out at 11. I'll be home by 2, 1. You guys good?
Starting point is 01:02:01 We'll do the accent. I was actually told on the accent thing I was told a long time ago the difference between New Zealand accent and Australian accent can be deciphered by asking them to say fish and chips I knew it was coming
Starting point is 01:02:16 let's see if you get it right I can't I actually don't remember the difference to be honest I don't remember which way it goes I'll say the Aussie version. You say the Kiwi version. Okay, go. You do Australia. Go.
Starting point is 01:02:28 Fish and chips. Fish and chips. Wait, you sound American. Yeah. Yeah. Fish and chips. You sound like you can own guns. Fish.
Starting point is 01:02:36 Fish and chips. Fish and chips. That's Australian. Yeah. And New Zealand is fish and chips. You sound American. That just sounds American. Fish and chips.
Starting point is 01:02:43 My God. You said it all wrong. Fish and chips. We're going to give you a gun for that. Fish. Fish. That's what we give. You said it right. Here. chips it's weird because they think we say for some reason they hear us saying fush and chops yeah so they so the aussies they mock us and they're like oh the kiwis always say fush and chopsups. Yeah. Fish and chips. Yeah, fish and chips. I feel like that's really similar.
Starting point is 01:03:10 That's what I'm saying. He sounds American as you say that. Exactly. Sounds like you're saying it right. Yeah. We always try to say that too. He's saying it the right way. I like this man.

You guys, so Nadine, you decided to, when did you put the bandage on the ear? Oh my gosh. She did this on social not knowing what's going to happen on her social media. What the fuck happened? Yeah, she was telling me, I was like, oh, that's a dangerous thing to do.
Starting point is 01:04:46 It lasted seven minutes before I deleted it. Seven minutes is a long time. It is a long time. Just so the girls out there know. Wait, really? Seven minutes is fine. Out in the wild. We're joking.
Starting point is 01:04:57 So we were downtown just here in San Antonio. And I don't know, where is it? Ripley's. Yeah, Ripley's, believe it or not. And you've got like a head of Biden and a head of Trump, like as in the, anyway, I walked in there
Starting point is 01:05:09 and I had a serviette. Napkin. Or a napkin in my bag. And I thought I would, I thought, hold on, what is that word? A serviette.
Starting point is 01:05:18 Serviette? Yeah. Why do I sound so weird? You were just talking about a napkin. Yeah, exactly. It's the French word that we use. And just... Gesundheit.
Starting point is 01:05:28 I just, yeah. I just took out the napkin and I was like, and I put it over Trump's ear. Just, I thought it would be funny. No, I mean... I was like, what the fuck? You posted that? I thought it was a coincidence,
Starting point is 01:05:42 something that you were talking about. You intentionally... Is that bad? I still think it's pretty funny. Oh, well, a lot of people thought it was a coincidence something that you were talking about. You intentionally... I still think it's pretty funny. A lot of people thought it was funny. I thought it was funny. I was just updating his head. And what happened? How did the internet react?
Starting point is 01:06:01 From both sides. There was no... Everyone was offended like everyone was offended everyone I was like okay sorry I guarantee you're like babe this is gonna be amazing
Starting point is 01:06:10 yeah let me put my phone down and turn it out shit where's the delete button I can see people thinking like
Starting point is 01:06:18 I would see that and think like oh well maybe I wouldn't post that you know I could see that thought but like I don't get why anybody would be
Starting point is 01:06:24 actually pissed about it. You know what's really exciting? There's an alternate reality where Trump didn't turn his head and the Civil War is broken out and you two are desperately trying to make it back to New Zealand in the middle of a Civil War. That already feels like a movie.
Starting point is 01:06:40 Well, no. Escape America. Escape from L.A. with the iPad. What kind of America not one where you from man. That's rough. We have magic money. Wake it up to that North American server of the apocalypse. I was going to be like, water. Water, please? Pass the test. Some water? Can we get some water, please, here, guys?
Starting point is 01:07:16 Everybody else level one? I want to see which side of the road you drive on. Wait, that's actually, have you guys watched, what's your favorite show? God damn it. Australia. Mr. Inbetween. Have you guys seen that?
Starting point is 01:07:29 Mr. Inbetween? What? No. Oh, the Inbetweeners. No. Or is that... Oh, okay. Oh, I think that's British. No, sorry.
Starting point is 01:07:35 I've never heard of Mr. Inbetween. No. It's like an Australian crime drama written and directed and starring Scott Ryan. Scott Ryan. Really? That's pretty good. We find that a lot, actually, because we did a subscriber meetup.
Starting point is 01:07:47 And some people that were there, they were like, oh, do you know these people? We're like, what is that? And they're like, it's a New Zealand drama. Crime drama. We're addicted to it. It's a fucking big island. Yeah. You would think we would know, but we don't.
Starting point is 01:08:01 It's the same thing being in the military. Remember you tell someone you're in the army, and some lady would like oh my son is in the army too you must know him it's like no there's actually 500 000 soldiers they all wear the same outfit it's really hard oh you mean private johnson there is one of those no so i'm really mad we didn't get that picture of us almost getting executed right we tried we did they said no oh yeah go on sorry we went to the pacific war museum all right and there was like apparently they had just had a reenactment i think like that morning there was like i think say they did otherwise it's just weird well no i say i think because i didn't see any people walking around in American uniforms,
Starting point is 01:08:46 but there was an alarming amount of Japanese people walking around in Japanese World War II uniforms. This is with Japanese. This is with World War II vets there. Actual Japanese vets who were there. No, no, no. The reenactment. Yeah. Actual World War II vets who were there with people dressed up in their 20s as Japanese soldiers. Dressed like the guys they fought.
Starting point is 01:09:09 And then 100-year-old vets that we interviewed, they were there with those, the cosplayers. Yeah. What are they called? And we obviously were idiots. So the first thing, one of them recognized Brandon and was a fan. They were from Canada. They came down for this reenactment and Brandon was like. I was like, oh, dude, no, like, you know, pleasure. so first thing one of them recognized brandon and was a fan they were from canada they came down for this reenactment and brandon was like i was like oh dude no like you know pleasure you
Starting point is 01:09:29 know thank you guys so much uh i appreciate that you guys are fans but like yeah they're like oh you want to grab a picture i'm like yeah absolutely let's let's jump in and i'm like is there any way that we can grab like the four of us because there's three of them four of us and i saw they had like the bayonets they had like full kit well and everything like dude is there a way that we can like get on our knees and do a hostage photo where you're slitting our throats or some shit? And they're like, they were terrified. They were like, no, we absolutely can't do that.
Starting point is 01:09:53 Our government won't allow it. Oh, okay. Yeah, there you go. It was these gentlemen here. It's a government thing. And they were great. They were amazing people. It was super cool.
Starting point is 01:10:03 But immediately, the government will fucking... They were scared to talk about it. Yeah, they were like, dude, people but like immediately the government will fucking they were scared to talk about it yeah they were like dude you know like we cannot cross that line we're and like i'm just i'm thinking like like hey obviously we respect that you know we don't want to get anybody in trouble but secondly it's like fuck imagine being that scared of your own government wow that you won't take a joke photo that hurts nobody yeah the same thing at shot show with the chinese guys that was i was gonna say it sounds a little close to home in japan just across the south china sea china there was no tell that story and uh he had more fans that were chinese that came up and wanted a picture
Starting point is 01:10:36 with brandon and they took a picture with him like from china like mainland china like you know like they flew there and they're like oh yeah yeah, we're gun YouTubers or influencers from China. And Brandon's like, I didn't know you guys had those, but okay, sure, whatever, we can get a picture. And they go to take the picture and Brandon's like, everybody say fuck communism. And they got super fucking awkward. And the dude
Starting point is 01:10:57 that was in charge that took the picture took the card out of the camera. Oh, you got freaked out. Oh, shit. Oh all the repercussions there they're no longer alive they burnt those guys it's crazy seeing that reaction you're like what the fuck what is so i guess i don't know new zealand very much i know the uk has some pretty strict
Starting point is 01:11:26 censoring with like being edgy or saying jokes or things like that is what's thought police kind of stuff yeah well who's our boy that gets in trouble that we want count dankula well let's yeah scotland yeah scotland he i know he's been in trouble a couple of times i don't know if you know this but different islands well like the uk shirt where. I wasn't sure where he was from. I think it was the UK. I'm almost positive it was the UK. They actually put a woman in jail for like 60 days because she took lyrics of a rap song that had the N-word in it. But like put it in quotes and put it as her Facebook status and they put her in jail for like 60 days for it.
Starting point is 01:12:05 Wow. So like some countries are getting really strict on what you're not allowed to do or say, whereas in America you can kind of just do it. I mean. From what I understand in New Zealand, there's been a recent law that's passed and it's to do with online bullying. Yeah. My favorite. Don't let these guys on your Twitter account. Let's see that one.
Starting point is 01:12:24 My job. What? Why aren't you allowed to have access to the answer on Twitter Twitter account. Especially that one. My job. Why aren't you allowing them access to the on-sub Twitter? He's just online bullying. He was on his camera bullying somebody on Twitter. That's how a dick he is. Cody had Twitter on his camera. He was like, who's fucking dude? Alright.
Starting point is 01:12:39 They won't give me access to the Twitter. I don't understand why. Because you're a fucking homelander. You look like Butcher, but you act like Homelander. The amount of people that I have seen you bully into deleting
Starting point is 01:12:56 their Twitter accounts is insane. It's kind of fun. Butcher, you're afterwards. Yeah, but like you were saying, new zealand i feel like it has cracked down a little bit in the last few years but in saying that like over the whole can i say covid yeah yeah over the whole covid period uh are you guys as bad as australia was during that worse probably really no shit but i'm saying that uh the videos that were coming out of like you know actual uh just citizens like citizens in citizens in Australia getting dragged out of their front door by police.
Starting point is 01:13:29 Did you post this on social media? That kind of never happened in New Zealand. We saw Australians actually getting dragged out from their homes. Pregnant woman. You posted something on Facebook. They put her in jail. You're gone. That was when Sean Strickland was talking shit to him about when he fought in Australia.
Starting point is 01:13:45 The police have been prosecuted for that since, though. I wonder what is the... It's all come out back around. I wonder what the biggest difference between us and them that would make it so that police don't do that here. No idea. Can't think of anything. Some sort of deterrent.
Starting point is 01:14:01 Something weird. Nothing comes to mind, to be honest. There's a two-second something. I don't know. It's way above our age. I don't know. Come to us later. We'll get there.
Starting point is 01:14:11 That's insane. Holy shit. We had our... What's that? You need a little drink? You good? No, I'm good. We had our buddy Swagger Souls came through the podcast a while back.
Starting point is 01:14:21 He's an American who lives over in Australia now. He was talking about during the whole big COVID thing, one of his friends they they had an allotted time they could go outside oh yeah and so that and the boys yeah yeah so so their friend went into a completely empty park laid down took a nap fell asleep but he stayed out there past his allotted time no one around just middle of a park woke up with police hassling him like you're not supposed to be out here why are you out here right now why are you what are you doing like just woke up from a nap in the middle of a park with no one around did they maintain six foot distance or like they prodded him like like like covid would know like the government's trying to enforce the threesecond rule if you drop food on the fucking ground.
Starting point is 01:15:06 My favorite thing is we all pretended for like two years that it didn't matter in restaurants. I mean if you were sitting down, though. If you were at three-foot level, COVID didn't exist. But if you're standing, you have to have a mask on. If you're sitting down at a restaurant, you're fine. I forgot about that entire time.
Starting point is 01:15:21 That was flying. You need to trust the science, dick. What the fuck is wrong with you? Okay. The same invisible walls at restaurants and casinos that are protecting me from secondhand smoke are the ones that are protecting me from COVID. The fuck is wrong with you? God, I'm so sorry. I forgot.
Starting point is 01:15:42 What was it? Did they enforce on you guys? Did they even have restaurants opening at that time? They were closed for a while. Yep. Yeah. Full lockdown. Full lockdown.
Starting point is 01:15:53 So, like, one of the unique things about Auckland, which is the biggest city in New Zealand, is that it actually stretches from the east coast to the west coast of the nation. East side to the west side. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. So, it kind of, like a bottleneck's in like this right and then you've got and you've got the city so they basically cordoned off the northern border and the southern border you couldn't leave nobody out nobody in just full full barricade yeah like you were saying
Starting point is 01:16:18 escape from la with the eye patch kind of like that jesus christ yeah it was big time so we watch you win we were thankfully because we live in lake taupo which is about three hours south of auckland we had gotten out just before that happened a big part of um why we moved from our hometown in auckland to taupo we already had a house in taupo um was because they had so many rolling lockdowns and levels new zealand went up and down in levels quite a lot so it was like, we've changed level in a traffic light system anyway. It's hard to talk about that. Suddenly you're on this level and you're allowed to do this amount of things.
Starting point is 01:16:50 And then, oh, no, no, there's been another case down a level. You can't do this. It's like down to Red. You can't do DEFCON in the military. But it was only Auckland for a lot of it or big cities. So we had a house in a small town and we moved out. Well, let's get out of Dodge. Let's go.
Starting point is 01:17:04 Isn't it interesting how you can just control large groups of people when they live in close quarters with the fucking guns? I think that's a lot of Aucklanders actually, to be honest, woke up to that after that happened. They were like, I cannot believe how easy it was to lock us into a city. And no one could get out. If you gave an overview of what happened during COVID to somebody a year before it happened, they would have called you a conspiracy theorist. They're like, there's no way. People would never go along
Starting point is 01:17:32 with it. The government would never try that. It's exactly what the fuck happened and you went along with it with a smile. Yep. Because Tiger King was on Netflix. Which was also a wild time in American history, too. We all just stayed inside for two weeks and watched
Starting point is 01:17:47 a gay man with tigers fuck around. I remember that. We all watched it. We were there with you. I've never seen it. Really? Really? They don't have Netflix in Iowa? No. I'm busy watching World War II documentaries
Starting point is 01:18:02 and minding my own fucking business. They have the corn channel. You laugh. I swear to God. I was explaining to somebody the other day that you could hear corn growing in Iowa and they still don't believe me. I don't. You can. What? I swear to God
Starting point is 01:18:18 when you're... Iowa This is a psyop for us to visit Iowa is what this is. Iowa grows more corn than anywhere in the world. Does it sound like popcorn? Yes. I swear to God, after it rains in Iowa in the summer when the corn is really growing, after it rains
Starting point is 01:18:33 you can hear the corn stalks cracking as they grow. I was going to say, is it like a creaking? Yeah, it's like a creaking, popping sound that you can actually literally go outside and hear fucking corn growing after it rains. I hear that same thing after Eli does his weekly trendos. My bone popped.

They picked that. So I picked flying. They said, all right, well, you guys. We were like, Cody, you can fly. And he came up with that. It was weird.
Starting point is 01:20:15 But I want to erase this stuff. I think he just started with the offset. I guess you can fly. That was his offset. I guess you can fly. That was his own saying. I guess you can fly. That's really good. I thought we had a joke about that. That's how we're explaining that joke from now on out.
Starting point is 01:20:41 I can yell racial slurs, but I have to fly. Added bonus. I see this as an absolute win. Alright, Crown Cock. I can travel at the speed of light, but then I cannot interact with anything for five minutes.

He can't unlock his safe, so that's actually really good holy shit thank you edward what was that what i was gonna say this and i was like what else what else is crazy about the difference between america and new zealand uh the people people yeah um i feel like like this is what i boil it right down to i feel like that a 30 second elevator ride with an american is like catching up with your old best friend and in new zealand it's just like most of the time it's like awkward silence but in America it's like
Starting point is 01:27:06 oh hey man how you going yeah cool what number you know oh does that push number four for me does that vary state to state or like region to region a little bit a little bit slightly but it's always still just more I get in and like just it's just chatting it's just like non-stop chatting there's it's awesome I love it because America I feel like Americans wear their heart on their sleeves. Yeah. Whereas I think New Zealanders are slightly closer to like Brits where it's a little bit more sort of closed book. But in America, you're just like everybody wants to be your friend. And I love it.
Starting point is 01:27:35 That's cool. Americans are inspiring in that way. Very friendly. And also you guys like really get behind each other and champion success for each other. You're like, yeah, you're like a big family, really supportive behind each other and champion success for each other you like yeah there's you're like a big family really supportive of each other and I think that New Zealand has a lot of qualities kind of like the Brits where we're a little bit stiff upper lip a little bit a little bit closed off to
Starting point is 01:27:59 each other but New Zealand as opposed to the English we are really laid-back yeah little more easy going a little bit easy going we're not outgoing but we're But New Zealand, as opposed to the English, we are really laid back. Yeah. A little more easygoing. A little bit easygoing. We're not outgoing, but we're easygoing. Whereas I feel like you guys are outgoing. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:14 You guys are like, yeah. You're like a big happy family together. And you guys know how to celebrate stuff. Oh. You know what I thought about the other day, which is crazy? Tell me the only time where you think you hear the New Zealand national anthem anthem the one and only time the rugby game before a rugby game that's it it's the one and only time during the year where you hear the new zealand national anthem sung or played we play that shit all oh yeah big time we play your anthem in our car yeah i got chris stapleton's version going on repeat in my car we play it every time we enter a new country with oil. On loudspeaker.
Starting point is 01:28:47 It's called democracy. And more people need it. It's cool to hear that from an outsider. In America right now, it kind of feels like everybody hates each other. We get that a lot. We get a lot of Americans saying, it's so nice to hear people talk positively about us. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:06 I feel like nobody hates America more than some Americans. We've heard that too. Some, for sure. Yeah, we've heard that too. Yeah. Like the flag burners and stuff like that. Yeah. I just feel like there's some people that hate America
Starting point is 01:29:18 because they're having a rough time here. Yeah. Well, I mean, one of the main reasons we started the channel was to also just showcase that you could even like you could even be in california and still have something to love you can still find something to love even in california you know it's like it doesn't it like it doesn't have to be like a political sort of you know emotional decision i can just be like man like we went to yosemite one of the best times in our lives yeah you know there's lots of different things you can love about each different state there's even people in california you know that
Starting point is 01:29:44 we absolutely love them even people in california a different state. There's even people in California that we absolutely love. There's even people in California. A lot of them. There's even a couple. The only reason I'm saying that is because a lot of our subscribers and stuff like that, they say like, you know. I can't believe you went to LA. Yeah. Or like we went to Seattle and loved it.
Starting point is 01:29:55 And they're like, I cannot believe. How could you love a place like Seattle? It's like this, you know. You don't understand. I love heroin. Well, there you go. Seattle's the place. Yeah. We've had a great time wherever we've gone. It's just been there you go. Seattle's the place. We've had a great time wherever we've gone.
Starting point is 01:30:08 It's just been awesome. Yeah, it's been fantastic. So it seems that the cheese has hit Eli. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. He vanished. Almost. Five minutes before he can touch anything.
Starting point is 01:30:23 Watermelon sucks. You don't like watermelon? no I like the lime one Cody is there any more lime ones? in the fridge go for it dig through I don't know that we have lime in those ones see what you find
Starting point is 01:30:39 I don't know which I don't know which box we got you guys good to do anything no we good no how much longer you guys in here in San Antonio
Starting point is 01:30:50 America oh America another week another week yeah how much longer in San Antonio uh leaving Wednesday I think yeah you guys been driving the whole way uh no no
Starting point is 01:31:00 so we've been flying between different places oh okay so we like the RV trip was like uh all the way up the west coast back down a little bit inland through like, you know Wyoming Idaho you guys stop the trees of mystery in Northern, California The trees of mystery never we went to the Avenue of Giants. Is it close to that? one of the core memories of my childhood because like i was born in northern california i was like we're gonna go see the trees of mystery like little seven-year-old fat electrician
Starting point is 01:31:32 dude the biggest fucking trees you were both still and an electrician the redwoods right in the radius yeah yeah yeah we knew of giants i'm sure we did that probably different it's different part yeah but like there's some part of northern california where the trees like do weird shit like i remember it i was a kid so i'm probably exaggerating with my kid memory but like there was a fucking redwood tree that went straight up and then right in the middle of it there was a fucking chunk that came straight out the side just as big as the base of the tree was it came straight out the side just as big as the base of the tree was. It came straight out the side like six feet and then another fucking tree straight out. It literally made a giant
Starting point is 01:32:09 number four. It was like an eight foot in diameter redwood the entire way through. It was crazy. Is that the national park where they have the archway you can drive through? We went around there. We went close to that. Those trees make you feel like
Starting point is 01:32:25 you're in a different world. And then they're like, this tree is... Literally, 900 years old. Yeah. You stand next to it and you're like,
Starting point is 01:32:34 oh. I love their pictures of loggers back in the day. I don't actually matter. You didn't matter at all. Why is this here? There are pictures from like 1840
Starting point is 01:32:44 with loggers posing with their saws.'re like look what we did we chopped down this 900 yeah i've seen that oh man it built 80 houses this tree's father was alive when jesus was crucified back when two by fours were two by four yeah it's the good old days right nick uh yeah what do you guys build your houses out of um mostly uh a tree called rimu oh really yeah what's the size i'm just well no i'm just sick of the goddamn british people making fun of americans for having houses made out of wood oh you guys don't make them out of bricks no no no no not many we do have some brick houses but also uh pine trees weren't native new Zealand, so they actually, the settlers came
Starting point is 01:33:25 and brought it, and now it's all over the place. So, I'm actually, I'm curious, what is one thing, now that you've been in the US for so long, what's one thing that you're looking forward to having back in New Zealand? Family doesn't count, don't be gay like that.
Starting point is 01:33:41 Coffee. Coffee, oh my goodness. You guys don't have coffee? Coffee. Oh, my goodness. You guys don't have coffee? No, we do. We have the greatest coffee. We eat in our opinion. You eat our coffee. What's the biggest difference?
Starting point is 01:33:53 Hate's a strong word, but it's kind of accurate. Yeah, not hate. It's from caffeine. It's a strong word. Thank you for using it. I appreciate it. You know what's another strong word? You said it.
Starting point is 01:34:03 Not me. Yeah. No, we just don't hit half and half like half and half like there's nothing like that New Zealand coffee I know are Wait, you just do coffee? Now, are you more into espressos? Yes. Cafe style, specialty coffee. So it's actually the grind and then how the pour is done. Especially espressos.
Starting point is 01:34:35 Dude, well, the amount of change that does to the flavor is fucking insane. No, it is. I did not know that for a long time. Even the temperature in which you use. We had a specialty coffee here, which was the same thing. Espresso. It was so hot. Coffee's a whole thing in New Zealand.
Starting point is 01:34:54 They hated it. American coffee. In America, I understand where you're coming from. In America, people think hotter equals of higher quality, which is not at all the case. It is with women. Well. Science. I can't beat you on that one.
Starting point is 01:35:14 But no. Yeah, it's the temperature thing where it's like, here's a boiling hot cup of shit coffee. Isn't that great? I'm like, no. That's what burns your taste buds off so you don't know the difference. And you have like 45 minutes to drink it. Right. Yeah, I'm not a fan of that. Yeah. Yeah. isn't that great? It burns your taste buds off so you don't know the difference. And you have like 45 minutes to drink it. I'm not a fan of that.
Starting point is 01:35:29 Working as an electrician, I'm like, oh it's break time, I'm going to stop at a gas station and get coffee so I can drink it on my next break. In fucking two hours. Two to three business days. I forgot about that. Is there any differences that you've noticed like traveling America in such a short time
Starting point is 01:35:46 just with like the accents? Have any accents from different regions thrown you off more than others? What's the hardest to understand is what he's trying to ask. So we got to, there's not much difference like up and down the West Coast, right? It's all pretty similar.
Starting point is 01:35:59 So we got to a RV park in Jackson, Wyoming and our next door neighbor was from east tennessee and so he was like oh man i was hunting burrs and i had this kiwi and he came up like that and he was like talking we were like sitting we were like both just standing there he's like whoa this is different this is really different like amazing guy like really funny we sat and talked for like an hour yeah and he was talking about how this kiwi guy just literally turned up like they were out in the bush like what out in the middle of the woods like hunt i don't know if the hunting is hunting bears an actual thing or is it like just is it looking for bears yeah depends on the type and depends on where you are but yeah
Starting point is 01:36:37 okay so apparently they were hunting them and then they had set up camp for the night and out of the blue this new zealander on a scooter just turned up in the woods and that was like it's like what are you doing what are we looking at here like this is crazy and so this new zealander gets off his thing he's like oh you're hunting bears you guys hunting bears you're like that and he's like and they're like yeah yeah we're hunting burrs and he's like and they all get off there and they apparently have the chat and apparently because he's ex-military as well and so he said the whole night this new zealand guy was just like asking them question after question about the military and be like because we don't
Starting point is 01:37:09 really have that kind of culture in new zealand where's the gay club at you guys got some military culture in new zealand with the big deck out back but the kiwi was like that's what we call big dick sorry i went english on the hat have you ever heard that's what we call big he would be a bear yes i know i know and we were in a city i can't remember which one no i remember now because we were in a city and then instead of beers like B-E-E-R-S, like for drinking beers, they'd replaced one of them or they'd hung like an A over one of the E's. And so I think I gathered that's what it meant. Oh.
Starting point is 01:37:53 Yeah. I like your point of view. That slang. You gathered that after about three hours of drinking there. For free! It all makes sense now. I haven't had to pay for a drink like that. This is a sausage fest. The word for the big wooden platform one might have attached their house Yeah, I love polishing my big dick.
Starting point is 01:38:32 Kids, go upstairs! This is the grown-up part of the podcast. Oh my gosh, there's a child in the room. So, how much military history or celebratory are you guys or your military? So the big one is April 25th, which is Anzac Day. So yeah, Australian New Zealand Army Corps. And that's moving. That's actually like really, that might be one of the only other times where you see the New Zealand National Anthem being played.
Starting point is 01:39:00 That's like the big one. You go there, you get there at like, you know, four o'clock in in the morning like before the sun rises and you stand there and there's like a big monument they have like a service where they're like you know playing military songs on the trumpets and then they do like a small parade usually where you see like you know guys that are like 90 something 100 years old and they're still in their uniforms when they served and they're just getting like wheeled along in wheelchairs and just sitting there just going man i just that's the only reason i'm here like living my life now is because of you and i just like yeah a lot of times we just like break down in tears and the military history is crazy oh yes it is i need to look at your
Starting point is 01:39:34 it's insane it's a tank first first off i just like it's still like first celebration like hey four in the morning you got to be there. We're gonna wheel you out about five. It's gonna suck dick. Nothing changes in the military ever. Why can't we wait till like 10 a.m.? Everyone's awake then. Those old guys love getting up at 5 a.m. What the fuck are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:39:57 I will never be up. It's like the good old days. Do you guys know about the Bob Simple tank? You have to. What is it? What is that? You don't know about the Bob Simple tank? Is it a New Zealand thing? Yes.? You have to. What is it? What is that? You don't know about the Bob Simple tank? Is it a New Zealand thing?
Starting point is 01:40:07 Yes. The Bob Simple tank. What is it? Say it. Explain it. In New Zealand in World War II, you guys were obviously very concerned about Japan potentially invading you for obvious reasons. I mean, you guys were right there. And they were trying to figure out, like, what are we going to do if the japanese show up and fight and you guys had like no real industry at the time capable of like developing and building tanks
Starting point is 01:40:30 you couldn't you just didn't have that manufacturing capacity and i think it was the man in charge of the department of works which is basically like the equivalent of the u.s parks department got put in charge of like hey fucking figure something out for us and he took a tractor because you guys have like 78 tractors on your island at this point he up armored it with thick corrugated steel and put a machine gun on top and made the bob simple tank it's like an internet meme It was the military industrial complex version of the Killdozer. I was about to say that. It reminds me of the Killdozer, but on a tractor.
Starting point is 01:41:10 Legit. And it's tiny. It's kind of adorable. I'll show you. Everybody makes fun of it, though. Good old New Zealand. Here's what it was. It's this little tiny tank that you guys whipped up out of nowhere. They call that Kiwi ingenuity.
Starting point is 01:41:26 Yeah. So, I mean, it's literally just thick corrugated steel with machine guns all over it. How are you up for a military? That's crazy. The Japanese. Oh, my God. You laugh. I believe the Japanese.
Starting point is 01:41:43 The Kiwis built a tank, and guess who didn't show up? The Japanese because they were fucking scared of it. Okay. Yeah, because they called it and I quote, ooh, woo. I thought the story was that, and this is what we were told. So the Japanese did come and they flew over. And submarines. And everyone had to turn off their lights at night.
Starting point is 01:42:04 So all lights. So there was a curfew for putting off their lights at night. So all lights. So there was a curfew for putting your lights on at night because they knew they were going to fly over and just scope it out. So there was a period of time where you couldn't like it was sun up, sundown. There was no lights, no candles, whatever it was.
Starting point is 01:42:18 And yeah, that's often the story that we were told. Yeah. And also the submarines. Also the Americans came to save us. So just before we actually left on this trip where there's an island just off the coast of auckland called waiheke island and it's kind of like a little bit you know further out to like the ocean where you
Starting point is 01:42:33 kind of want to look out because there's a big inlet but anyway so they they and the we had no money at all to set up like a battery or any defense positions so the americans basically came down their navy came down or your navy came down, well, your Navy came down, and set up all these different gun positions, these massive cannons that were all just facing out. And so now we, obviously the cannons are gone, but we have all the remnants
Starting point is 01:42:52 of the batteries that are still there and the underground barracks and everything and tunnels. You can take like tours and everything. It's like a museum. It's really cool. So New Zealand was legitimately petrified.
Starting point is 01:43:01 America showed up in time. Big time. When did New Zealand receive that? You guys need some fucking giant guns. Yeah, do it. I like America. It's like, you want these? Fuck yeah, we do.
Starting point is 01:43:13 Fuck yeah, we do. I don't know. Everybody makes fun of the Bob Simple tank. I like it. It's like one of my favorite tanks. Financially, they were at the whim of the United Kingdom at the time. I was going to ask, when did
Starting point is 01:43:29 New Zealand receive freedom from the United Kingdom? They didn't. We did not. You still? Our territory? Oh my god. What are you doing? Throw that tea in the harbor. You like coffee. You like guns. I heard you say both.
Starting point is 01:43:45 We'll start it right here. We have no part in this YouTube. It's all on them. Oh, I fucking did. Come at me, England. Jesus Christ. Americans really don't change. Let's get drunk and convince people to revolt against the British. USA! USA!
Starting point is 01:44:05 Tell me that doesn't sound like fun. United States of New Zealand. You're still a territory of the United Kingdom? Yeah, so we're part of the Commonwealth. Part of the monarchy. Under the monarchy. Well, now it's the kingdom. There was talk of them trying to become independent.
Starting point is 01:44:22 And that was over the last four years. Try to change the flag. I remember the flag i remember the flag taking the union jack off yeah but a little known fact about new zealand and you might like this or you might already know this but that new zealand was the first country in the world to declare war on the nazis i did not know that but i like it ever it's because of the time zones so news filtered through to us from the UK and we were the first ones who did it. It was a time zone. You got to do it. First time zone.
Starting point is 01:44:46 I was just picturing New Zealand as like fucking Jon Snow. Yeah, what the fuck? Fucking no army behind him. Make that meme happen. That is great. I'm just saying. Fuck you all. We're coming there.
Starting point is 01:45:02 USA, get these fucking pancakes. This is fucking North. Japan's right there. Shit. Turn your candles out. Turn the candles out. Mine grabbed it. I'm just picturing the little girl from Jurassic Park
Starting point is 01:45:20 that can't turn the flashlight off. I'm like, ahhh! I'm like, what? So. park they can't turn the flashlight off like ahhh so does that like do you guys not need a passport to go to the UK then or how does no we do what the fuck benefit are you getting so like in America like Puerto Rico's a territory and so would
Starting point is 01:45:41 you used to have the we don't need a passport to go to Puerto Rico or Guam cause it's our territory I think it might be easier and so would so you used to have the we don't need a passport to go to oh my god i think it might be easier for us to get into the country but i think you know because they're not part of europe the euro anymore the european union oh god this is really confusing so you're yeah so now i think that it's a little bit easier for us to get in i mean i don't know for sure but another thing i was going to say is that, you know, the Battle of Britain? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:46:07 So you had UK providing the most pilots, obviously. Yep. You had the Polish out for revenge. The Polish, yeah. Yeah, providing the second most pilots. New Zealand provided the third most pilots for World War I. Oh, sorry, Battle of Britain, World War II. I mean, you guys still, like, if you go to join the military in New Zealand, you're joining the UK military?
Starting point is 01:46:28 Well, no. You're joining the New Zealand. It's called the Royal New Zealand Army. But it's under the UK. Kind of, I guess. Yeah, if you want to go right back. And when we join the SAS, like, we know more people. What did you just do?
Starting point is 01:46:42 What happened over there? What happened there? Go on. Go on, go on boys! We're gonna podcast that now. She said we're still under the control of the Queen of England and Brandon said, well you used to have a queen and I said I don't know if you heard and she said, no.
Starting point is 01:47:04 So we've been trying to politely let you have a conversation while having a stroke. Fuck yeah, best joke. The implication you found out the queen died on his spine. I was edging an aneurysm. Wait, we landed on the moon? No way! I hope Chase cuts back as they're having a meaningful conversation. Fuck.
Starting point is 01:47:34 Sorry, go on. What were we talking about? They're not part of the European Union so they don't have the Euro, but they're still under the UK so they joined the UK military kind of, sort of, but not really. Oh, fuck. Okay, so this circles right back around. So there was kind of a running thing in our group chat where we called you guys the Europeans.
Starting point is 01:47:57 Yeah, one of the Europeans coming on. I sent a photo of the world map with two things circled. I'm like, by the way, just friendly reminder, Europe, New Zealand. But, apparently, up until Brexit, you guys kind of were. Pretty much. Were we, though? Told ya. Well, I mean...
Starting point is 01:48:17 Fucking hell. I mean, like, we are like, I don't know, we've never had any sort of major... We are in a bit of an awkward situation. It is a bit awkward, yeah. It is actually awkward. Yeah, let's face it. It's like, it's like, why are we even like tied to the British like that? Yeah. It is kind of weird. They hardly ever
Starting point is 01:48:34 come down and visit us or anything, so it's kind of just like That sounds awesome. It's kind of just like, do what you want, but just don't piss us off. Yeah. Sounds like my dad. Just stay within the boundaries and you guys are good. He's like,'s like my dad just stay within the boundaries and you guys are good just like my dad are there any financial ramifications of that uh i don't know not really that was actually my question is there a significant like advantage exchange rate wise between like being youtubers and making a youtube money because i assume youtube pays the same as it does for it like is that huge advantage huge it's a big exchange rate advantage okay oh yeah so that's
Starting point is 01:49:11 kind of what i was wondering because you guys do this full-time right yes yeah yeah so we get 60 cents to the dollar so if you we get 60 cents American we get a dollar New Zealand that's not the one now I know what we can drink with if we tell sexist jokes the girls have to drink that's not the rule that's not the rule
Starting point is 01:49:40 how are they not just laying all over the floor right now every time we're sexist you guys have to take 76 of a shot yeah so um yeah basically we get 60 cents to the dollar and uh everything we i mean especially the price of food and stuff like that is just cheaper in new zealand that's a new thing though oh yeah after it's kind of new yeah in the last three or four years and so we uh basically we came back from our trip last year and i remember saying one thing i'll never complain about again is the price of food in new zealand really oh yeah like what's how like give us like what's well so think about this right so if like
Starting point is 01:50:20 we get paid you know we do 60 cents us as a dollar new zealand we go to mcdonald's and but it costs the same like you it costs the same. Like you actually see the same number for like a Big Mac combo. So we're paying about 40% less. So like growing up, it was common knowledge that everything's cheaper in the USA. Like you go to the USA, everything's cheaper. Like you save your money, you go there, you go shopping, you get all the things. And we've had that comment a lot
Starting point is 01:50:46 we were shocked at how it was not cheaper yeah when was the restaurant you guys came to we came last year okay yeah you're fucked yeah right restaurant do restaurant pricing right now especially when you're like this is the worst family you have a family and you're like yeah this is genuinely the worst inflation i've ever experienced in my lifetime and and given that new zealand has some of the worst inflation as well so this is relative yeah oh yeah so the same sort of you know the housing crisis here housing crisis there it's all the same stuff but back in the days it just genuinely used to be cheaper in the USA. And even though you had an exchange rate that was unfavorable. So now we're paying, we feel like, the same amount,
Starting point is 01:51:29 and we have to pay double because of our exchange rate. But like you said, our income comes from the USA. Yeah. So if we're living in New Zealand. That's awesome. It goes back to your question. Yeah, that's awesome. It's a huge advantage.
Starting point is 01:51:41 So what do you guys have for taxes as far as? Okay, now we want to talk about disadvantages. Maybe. I mean, we mentioned the amount of tax, the percentage that we pay in one of our live streams, and people were just like... Flawed. What is it?
Starting point is 01:51:56 33%. Oh, sorry. That's really not terrible. 33% income tax. And it's obviously dependent on how much you... What other taxes? Do you guys have like property taxes, sales tax, anything? Yeah, rates.
Starting point is 01:52:10 So we have GST. So that's like... GST. It's about 15%. If we didn't have taxes. But we talked to someone that said their income tax was 9%. 33% is not. But we also supposed to be able to have 0% income tax.
Starting point is 01:52:24 So it's kind of like on a sliding scale. So the we also spoke to some people that had zero percent so it's it's kind of like on a sliding scale yeah so the more money you make the more money they pay i would i think like that's 33 sounds when it's all said and done because it's like you're getting taxed by the federal government and then you're getting taxed by the state that you live in and different states have different tax rates and and you get taxed more based on the more money you make from the federal government so like i would say on average ish when it's all said and done it's probably like 33 percent okay okay yeah i was gonna say upper income bracket for federal income tax i think is like 35 percent yeah oh wow but that's just
Starting point is 01:53:01 normal then if you have the state tax on top of that. Some states have 8% tax. Some states have 0%. Texas has 0% tax. But then you pay way more in property tax. So if you own a house, you have to pay more per year to own your property. Is it what we call rights?
Starting point is 01:53:24 I think it's council rights. It's like your local council and they charge you for the land that you're living on wait how okay like three thousand dollars a year or something whatever it is you know that's property tax yeah how much is a house like if you buy a three thousand square foot house first of all that depends where you are so auckland where uh we were... City, lockdown city. Yeah, exactly. Born and raised. I mean, like maybe 650,000 US wouldn't have even got you like a one bedroom unit. At one point. New York and California. That's right.
Starting point is 01:53:55 It's kind of like that. We got up to like Sydney, New York, Los Angeles type level, you know, like really bad. For reference, LA, me and Jake, or Jake and I were looking at a house. I sent him one. It was $1.2 million. This is a one-bedroom, 800-square-foot house with no yard or anything.
Starting point is 01:54:13 But you're not talking about the amenities. How much human shit is in the streets in Auckland? The fertilizer is great. Yeah, that's a given. If there's any, it's too much. What about the country though like property and everything how much is that out there uh i think it's fairly expensive all across new zealand it is pretty fairly expensive i mean we were we were really fortunate
Starting point is 01:54:35 to buy in the small town that we bought in because but the thing is is that and we technically weren't allowed to do this is that we bought a small town we bought a small we bought a small town lakeside home on my big city auckland wages and then technically we were supposed to shift in and live there but we just we just rented it out because that was just not a possibility for us and so uh we how we owned it for maybe two years or three years before we so we rented it out and then finally when all the you know big barricading lockdown stuff happened is when we just decided to stuff this this big city i'm just done with it the legal ramifications for that won't be a problem once you overthrow the crown exactly yeah of course yeah the queen and by the way bad news i didn't even know she was sick can't wait for your radicalized channel.
Starting point is 01:55:30 Your New Zealand guerrilla fighters. Down with the queen. Oh, no. I mean, that's already happened. The sequel. Be careful. She'll turn off your magnet shoes and you'll fall off the earth. Your toilets will begin flushing the proper direction. Yeah, actually.
Starting point is 01:55:51 There was actually something too. Christmas will be in July. Sorry. Something I was curious about too is some of the military history too on Australia. Or excuse me, australia in relation to new zealand because there's uh certain things that i guess i just lump them together a lot in my mind because especially when it comes to like the you know world war one world war two like it's a lot of it is the allies it's the same fight i'm thinking of things like uh like
Starting point is 01:56:19 waltzing matilda things like that that are very australian i guess yeah but you know gallipoli and stuff like that but i also i don't know if that's kind of a new zealand thing as well where you kind of lump into the same thing uh yeah because that's probably why we celebrate anzac which is collectively together yeah so that's all i know on that i was gonna say i would look like a retard on podcast i'm gonna host ask me that i be like, fucking whatever that dude said. The counterpoint. The electricity guy.
Starting point is 01:56:50 I've heard a lot of people referencing New Zealand as if it was the same nation as Australia. By the way, your toilet's flushed the other way. We need to go to New Zealand. I want to visit Hobbington. I thought you were just going to go to new zealand that would be i want to visit hobbington i think i thought you're just gonna go there like in the airport flush the toilet you know sure enough leave but here we are getting the plane fly home most viral video unsub ever does yeah and the gang

I was going to say, if it's the New Zealand capital, then I don't know what it is. It's not even worth the picture. No, we were sent letters from the mayor of Atlanta and the governor of Georgia. We were sent personal letters. For a particular reason? Because a big section of our channel was opening up boxes that we were sent. I mean, we must have been sent like 300 boxes in total from all different states and everything like that and a big one was from atlanta and they had sent us you know because i think coca-cola was
Starting point is 02:00:14 invented in atlanta or started there yeah so we get seen like all the different like books on coca-cola and everything like that and then in the bottom there's this envelope and it was like had like an official like government seal on it and everything we're like whoa what is this and we open it up and it was like a written letter from the governor of georgia and the mayor of atlanta it's kind of like how me and uh cody are kentucky colonels we are kentucky colonels yeah i'm not a kentucky colonel i thought for i thought uh for sure you'd be one by now have you checked do you have a po box or anything i do but nobody knows my last name is this kind of the thing where you like you you can buy a square foot of land on the moon?

You ever heard of KFC, Colonel Sanders? Yeah. He's a Kentucky Colonel. It's like a position of honor in the state of Kentucky.
Starting point is 02:01:03 Wow. And other famous people or people that have done something can get nominated. Raise your hand if you're a Kentucky colonel. The governor makes you a Kentucky colonel. And apparently they're popular enough to be Kentucky colonels. So it's like a popularity thing. Or a Q-R-N-D thing. Yeah, kind of.
Starting point is 02:01:17 Get nominated. People think you deserve it. So if things get serious, you guys would actually be like colonels in the state of Kentucky.
