Oh, I could have told you that before we started.
God.
Always, when I sit next to you, Nick, it's a f***ing sweater.

He's an exothermic human. I'm always

What do you want from me? Nothing. Shave this arm.

No. They'll be covered in
ingrown hairs.

Right up here, big boy.
He's funny.
He's pissed about it.
He's mad about it.
Is this what you guys drink when you're on your periods?
Hi, everyone.
Welcome to the Unsubscribe podcast.
I'm joined today by Eli Doubletap, Nick, Fat Electrician, Ryan, Habitual Line Crosser,
Brandon Herrera, and myself, who's leaving now.
I'll miss you forever.
He shits himself.
Like, whoa, that started really hard.
Damn.
We just pushed his body out the way.
Got two more hours with it.
Hey, everyone.
Whoa, hi.
New to the podcast, Mr. Ryan.
We have different takes.
I can't wait for this episode because it was already hostile in there.
It's going to be very hostile.
Mitch has been fighting with
the guests lately.
That's true.
Me and Steven almost got in a fight
over how much power Hirohito had during
World War II yesterday. That was interesting.
It worked out though.
You won?
I don't know. We can let the audience decide.
I feel like I won.
Today we're just going to decide whether or not
your mother or your mother
loves Shakespeare more.
It's spelled a little
bit differently.
I'm actually going to take the
plunger. It's good.
It is surprisingly good.
Get this man a bush light.
You want a bush light?
Oh my God.
All right.
This would taste great if you dumped it out and filled it up with rye whiskey.
All right.
To be fair to you, tangerine is one of my least favorite flavors.
You actually, you genuinely drink this stuff?
Uh, you put this in your body.
So try this. Homophobic about White Claw. We gotta have this much better. I could do that. Thank you. Cheers. Drink this stuff
With six guys and a couple of cameras before you drink on a different way
I might I might you know We all pay for college different ways.
When you're an 11...
When you're an 11 bravo
and you're out for a 21 day field problem.
What happened?
You cut off...
Never mind.
No, go for it.
The way he cut it off earlier, I thought you made a pretty edgy joke right out of the gate.
Really?
Well, you were talking about things going a different way when you were surrounded by men and drinking,
and you said, you know, when I was 11, and then you paused.
I thought you made a really aggressive joke, and then you're like, I was at 11, bravo.
So how was karate?
I read a little bit too far into that one.
We don't go to camp anymore.
I'm going to fucking kill him over here.
Jesus Christ.
Get my notes out.
There we go.
The infantry is probably one of the most homoerotic organizations a man can be in.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
The way I scale it is infantry, army.
Hold on.
Stay with me.
Marine Corps in general.
Marine Corps infantry.
Oh.
Yeah.
I go Marine Corps.
This is the thing.
The Marine Corps infantry is the gayest straight organization that exists in this world.
They'll be like each other and just be like, yeah.
Yeah.
You like that, Pogue?
It's the weirdest thing, man.
You're gay for looking.
It's fucking weird, man.
I knew a guy who made a Fifi.
Are you familiar with what a Fifi is?
Yeah, we've all deployed.
A Fifi is a device.
I don't even know what a Fifi is.
So Fifi is an acronym
and it is a device that simulates the gentle touch
of a woman. You would
typically take a medic's glove and roll it up
in a towel
and you would take some KY
jelly that the medics have and you would
use that to
procreate. Ingratiate yourself.
I just picture so many notes being taken.
It's like the Swiss family
Robinson fleshlight.
I want small guy.
For ten seconds, it's good to go.
This guy, he took it
and he went out to the
wood line and he put it in the crack of a
tree and grabbed the two
branches of this tree and the
whole wood line's moving.
You were in the infantry.
Dude, straight out there jungle.
Don't fucking tell him that.
I just...
Jungle.
My brain just...
He's making ape noises.
My brain just took that way from him.
I'm sorry.
He was very rough with that tree.
What was his nickname after that?
Groot?
George of the Jungle?
Oh, fuck.
What year did you get out of the Army?
Oh, God.
2014.
So you joined in 1994?
I'm almost 50.
94.
I'm almost 50.
You've got to watch Peacetime Army 2, actual Wartime Army 2.
Yeah, and you know what's crazy is that
you have
in the 90s, it was
all like, who are we supposed to fight? I don't know.
We're going to
make up enemies, right? The Krasnovians.
And
occasionally you'd pretend to be Serbians.
1-4 is
the best unit
of the Russian army. Well some some guys third acr would
say differently but one for best unit of the russian army the krasnovian army right 75th
motor rifle regiment and we never had bad guys one fourth they are the bad guys that nato can practice
against the bad guys and we would wear different uniforms drive uh m113s that are vismodded to
look like our bmps and so on and uh yeah we would fight against the good guys which would be
well what was the laser gear miles yeah miles miles good at the time and you know honestly
like it's it's fun for a couple of days when you're in germany and it's like 50 degrees and
you've been outside for like you know four days at a time
you're like all right let's light a fire maybe nato will call an artillery on us that way we
can go back to the warming tents you are infantry that's like a strictly military thing you know
what sounds better than this fucking dying strictly a military mentality. This was back in the day.
You walk around with, literally,
and I've said it before, walking around in the middle of the night
and patrolling, everyone's just like,
what about the cherries?
Well, I won't feel it.
As soon as you're done inhaling,
stop.
Funny story.
Funny story about that.
I was a cigarette smoker for years before I switched to cigars.
I love cigars.
But cigarettes have their own magic, right?
And I was on a hilltop.
Trout knows this.
Trout has a cigarette in his mouth.
I'm lit right now.
Just unironically.
He is our in-house barber man.
I'm telling you.
I was on a hilltop in Germany, right?
And it was my turn for watch, and I lit up a cigarette,
and I was smoking a cigarette.
Now, there was this one guy.
His name was Smitty.
And this guy, he used to carry the M60 machine gun.
Very heavy machine gun.
That was before my time.
Big fucking guy.
Sometimes they give it to the small guy. Your machine gunner's name was Sm. That was before my time. Big fucking guy.
Sometimes they give it to the small guy. Your machine gunner's name was Schmitty.
Pause real quick.
Hold on. We just missed something.
Eli goes, sometimes they give it to the small guy.
Were you on gun team? No, I was the SDM.
Oh, okay.
I could shoot, thank God.
It's like Don Graves talking about
how his fucking higher-ups hated him,
so they gave him the flamethrower as the shortest guy.
Jesus Christ.
I'm sorry.
Just continue.
So I'm up on this hilltop, and I was smoking a cigarette,
figuring, no one's around.
NATO isn't around, right?
I'm smoking a cigarette, and I'm ashing.
And this guy, Smitty, he loved carrying, or he loved shooting the 60,
hated actually carrying it, right?
Hated it.
And so, like, we ended up, I was a dragon gunner at the time, which is an anti-tank
missile, so I was having to carry some of his ammunition because he couldn't hump it.
God, this is so different than, like, I don't even know what a dragon is.
A dragon, it's an anti-tank missile.
It's wire-guided.
It's similar to the Javelin, but before the Javelin.
Wait, wire-guided, that's tow. Well, the Javelin was wire-guided. It's similar to the Javelin, but before the Javelin. Wire-guided, that's tow.
Well, the Javelin was wire-guided, too.
It was created in the 70s, and it was a small wire-guided
missile. It reached out to about
1,400 meters. Now I learned something.
Hey, here we go. I used to carry this damn thing.
I carry this damn thing
up and down freaking hills in Germany.
And technically, it was a
Sager, which is a Russian missile,
not a Dragon, because we're the bag.
I actually have a Sager missile in the shop.
I thought you were about to make a racist joke.
I'm sorry.
It does sound offensive.
Someone called me that, like, whoa.
You dirty fucking Sager.
Nobody liked this guy.
Nobody likes Smitty, right?
Apparently not.
They made up a slur.
For him.
Give a 60 to the second.
I'm sorry.
Had a couple of cigarettes, and then I swapped out for the next guy to go on watch, go to bed.
And stand to.
Stand to is the time when everybody has to be up.
I think it's half hour before daylight and then half hour before sunset, right?
Because that's when the French and Indians attack.
I've never had...
You've never had stay in town?
No.
There's some actual...
So it originated when the French and Indians would attack
because they would use the sun at their back to...
To attack, yeah.
It's a natural...
And the Taliban...
I'm surprised you didn't know about this.
The Taliban would often do that.
Sun up and sun down.
They would attack during those times
because our NVGs, we own the night.
I got very comfortable in the night in Afghanistan.
During the daytime, we can see as far as they can.
We have better optics.
We're better shots.
We don't fucking spray and run in sandals.
So they would attack when the sun was going down or coming up.
Yeah, I'm surprised you didn't know about that.
Oh, shit, they're here.
You never did stand to?
Before they come over the hill you're like
They're coming
I know I was like they're Indian
This is the
They're here
Holy shit I'm sorry.
No, we didn't because even at Fort Lewis,
Joe Bob's in position.
You didn't even stand to.
No.
How the fuck have I missed this?
Yeah.
Before a half hour before,
like maybe it was a nineties thing.
I don't know, but he didn't.
Well, he knew he did it.
I didn't. I don't know. Did you't well he knew he did it i didn't i
don't hold on did you ever do afghanistan no did you ever do afghanistan that might be it afghanistan
was pretty well known like that was a pretty common thing the taliban were smart like we
killed all the dumb ones all the smart ones would like okay fighters they've been doing war yeah
like a long ass time and ideally as well for stand to you start all the vehicles at the same time so
you have a count like four three two one everyone all the vehicles at the same time. So you have a count, four, three, two, one.
Everyone starts their vehicles at the same time.
So the bad guys can't go, okay, there's one vehicle here, one vehicle here, one vehicle here.
Okay, so it's everyone's up, running, and then you guys are smoking cigarettes.
Well, I went to bed, and I heard this voice.
Watch your language.
Sorry.
This voice.
Beep that out, Chase.
This voice goes, what the heck, guys?
What the heck?
What the heck?
What the heck, guys? What the heck? What the heck?
And Smitty gets up and there's burn holes in his sleeping bag
and there's
ash on his hair
and his face. Apparently I had been standing
right below him while I was smoking.
And so he's
screaming at the top.
It's like echoing off the hills in Germany.
You were just ashing on him? I didn't know. I didn't know he was down there. It's like echoing off the hills in Germany. You're just ashing on them?
I didn't know.
I didn't know he was down there. It was dark.
That was disrespectful.
Damn saggers.
They're just ashing on him.
It is a slur.
My squad leader,
what's going on?
He runs over, shut up.
It's stand two. You've got to be quiet.
He shows in the holes.
He's like, who did this?
Who did this?
I'm like, all I know is it was probably me.
I know who's about to do it, Nato.
Right.
So we actually get back.
And he gets madder and madder the longer we're out in the field.
We get back.
And when you come back in from the field, you'll clean off your gear.
Clean off all the mud.
These rooms, clean off all your gear.
He's like egging me on.
We're cleaning off our gear and he's
challenging me and stuff.
Finally, he throws his gear down and goes,
That's it, Macbeth. I call you out.
He storms out.
To a duel?
What is this?
Third grade, meet me by the flagpole.
And my squad leader was like, he called you out.
You got to go do it.
Now, this was relatively.
90s was a hell of a time.
This was 60 pounds ago.
So I was 5'10", wet.
I'm 155 pounds.
I don't think your height change is wet. I'm 155 pounds. I don't think your height change is wet.
Yeah.
Very confused by that.
My dude wet.
I got a part of my body's height changes
when it gets wet.
That's Nick's fucking Tinder profile.
So my squad leader's like,
dude, he called you out in front of the men. You got to go fight him.
I'm like, oh, great.
So I'm skinny guy, 5'10", 155 pounds.
And this guy, he was a former firefighter.
At least he said he was, right?
Like, you know, who knows, right?
Volunteer.
He was a big dude.
He was like you.
He was like, you know, barrel chest dude.
I'm a big dude, apparently.
And I'm like, you know, I thought you know I thought I'm walking out there thinking
oh man this guy's gonna kick my ass
and I go up to him
I think it's gonna be one of those
like I throw a punch
he throws a punch
break it up guys
break it up
you know someone
that's if you have battle buddies
we fought
they're like damn
he's gonna
stop
we fought for like
three freaking minutes
he beat the crap out of me
someone's gonna stop at any moment now your face for like three freaking minutes. He beat the crap out of me.
Someone's going to stop at any moment.
Now, your face is just getting pummeled in.
He beat the living daylights out of me.
From that day forward, you hated sagas?
The funny thing is that
a platoon sergeant from another unit
comes out of an early room
and says, break it up, guys, break it up.
You know, and! I'm bleeding.
Have you seen the other guy?
We do. He's right here. He's quite fine, actually.
He was fine.
He was fine.
I say to my squad,
why didn't you just stop us?
He goes, I don't like
Smitty either. I wanted to see you kick
his ass.
After the first minute you didn't notice,
it's not going that way.
No, no.
Maybe by round two minutes in.
That's the modern Ukraine conflict.
McBeth is making his hands hurt.
Don't interrupt.
Hey, Eli!
Whatcha doing?
You're filing taxes.
Well, that's not what my taxes look like, but either way, I'm here to talk to you about ExpressVPN.
Why are you here?
Oh, I see you're using incognito mode. Did you know incognito mode won't hide what kind of taxes you're filing?
What do you mean?
It doesn't matter what mode you use or how many times you clear your browsing history.
Your internet service provider can still see every website you've ever visited.
Do you want people to know these are the kinds of taxes you're filing, Eli?
Wait, are you in my house?
What makes you ask that?
Gesundheit!
It doesn't matter if you get your internet through Verizon or AT&T or your local internet service provider.
In the U.S., internet service providers can legally sell your information to ad companies.
Leave me alone!
Were the taxes I sent you not good enough for you, Eli?
I don't want to see your taxes.

But, you know.
Thank you.
So these are my pre-
Open it up.
Okay.
It's the second best thing to come out of Maryland.
Old Bay.
Old Bay seasoning.
Brandon, I'm so sorry you missed out on this.
I'm not a seafood guy at all.
So, like, that's easy. I'm putting it in my bush light.
You can put it on popcorn.
You can put it on french fries.
Can you put it on bush light?
Maybe.
I was about to say, it's not tahini.
I would snort that stuff.
I've never tried Old Bay, so I might just take a little...
Give me a little dab on that knife.
Are you really gonna fucking I'm from Maryland
cast has gone on for quite some time that is the most sociopathic shit I've
ever seen in my life graduations I'm an infantryman and I'm a Marylander.
Well, I'm retarded.
I was like, he's gonna...
Chase,
I think we have to technically blur that.
I don't know the rules for that.
Nobody ever thought the fucking rules about that.
Just put a drawing up
and said he snorted it.
There's gonna be some fucking mod YouTube. if the YouTube executives have to have a meeting
about whether or not they're going to monetize
snorting seasonings
I'm happy
if you get demonetized
I apologize I get demonetized
all the freaking time
I'm thinking of our YouTube rep just sitting there like
Ben Affleck with the cigarette
we had to have a conference
actually I told them.
Our beautiful YouTube rep misunderstood what I said.
Uh-oh.
We had the two World War II veterans on, and he was like,
and something else.
We got to blur that one, too.
Yeah.
Chase, blur that.
It's a shortened word for Japanese people.
That is exactly what you fucking think it is.
I thought it was
shortened for jalapenos but i'm just also that yeah that's what they meant yeah come to find
out that got age not age yeah age restricted or demonetized for that and i was like hey uh can
you get that checked again we fixed it uh it was what they said in the time he's like well i'll try
to pitch that to the guys so the next day he's like okay i said in the time he's like well i'll try to pitch that
to the guys so the next day he's like okay i'm on the phone he's like okay so i just tell them that
it was how they spoke in the day i was like what what he's like well you told me to tell them that
it's okay to say i was like no i didn't know we edited that out for you buddy no you do not have
to go and tell them okay to say balls to him. Balls to him for fucking making that argument to Silicon Valley.
I'll make that argument.
They need to be racist.
Listen, it's just like your grandfather in the back of a video
thinking about who's allowed at the front of a bus.
It was a different time.
No, for real, though, I don't think it's any different than saying Nazi.
No, that's just what they said back then right oh that's true well no but it's also like in the context of like
yes the nazis were german but it was a very particular type of german at a very particular
point in time you fucking not like i've got a joke that you're gonna love oh dear god all right
all right so i'm not racist it's now the 10th day. I'm not racist, but I got a joke I'm going to love.
10th day of the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk, right?
And Vladimir Putin doesn't know what to do, so he calls Stalin's ghost.
He says, Stalin, help me.
Nazis are in Kursk.
What do I do?
Stalin goes, do what I did.
Send your best Ukrainians and ask for US weapons.
Fucking Christ.
Good. Let's talk about the
Ribbentrop Molotov Comp.
Go for it, Nick.
Okay, fine.
So, because you...
If anybody hasn't
seen Ryan's content, he's really good
at like
finding misinformation and
propaganda from Russian sources
or pretty much any other ones, but
you track stuff back, and one of the things
that I looked into a ton
was the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact
of World War II, and
Vladimir Putin, I think it was
2018 or 2019,
actually went and made it a law that you're not allowed to.
Well, you're allowed to talk about it.
You're just not allowed to have the incorrect opinion about it.
And they've actually arrested people.
And it forced the, not the UN, some other gigantic agency to put out a statement that, no, the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact absolutely was a catalyst for starting for starting world war two else would have been like nato eu uh it might have been eu yeah i think
it might have been yeah i'm not familiar with this pack the ribbentrop malta pact was a non-aggression
pact between nazi germany and the ussr okay i've heard there was also a secret portion where they
had agreed hey i'm gonna attack poland. You should attack Poland around the same time,
and we could attack it together.
And then if you did that, you can have this part,
and I'll have that part.
And then we can all split up Europe together
while we're not fighting, but we're also not allies,
even though we're declaring war on people at the same time
and not fighting each other.
Which they had a great time until Hitler failed the trust fall.
Yeah.
You got him with that one. He just spit all over. which they had a great time until hitler failed the trust fall yeah um fucking i do want to talk about poland for a second like okay so if you guys have seen
someone poland doesn't even like to talk about no no i think they do i've european texas almost a joke they fucking
exclusively talk about poland in my comment section anytime poland's mentioned they shit
their pants it's well i made the joke about little european texas and people like well why do you
call it that why do you call it that and i was like okay let's let's go through the and this is
just off the top of my head these numbers may not be perfectly accurate but like poland when the u.s said this is for sale they said yes like that's
that's pretty much what the united states government has 270 high mars we have 270 of them
you know how many poland bought as many as we sold 460 high mars high mars the the high mobility
artillery rocket system the fuck oh gotcha yeah it box that shoots the giant rockets. Oh, fuck yeah. Which is basically the box.
The box on it.
The one with the box.
Which is got a Ukrainian fucking really hard.
Were you like a 42 Alpha or something?
It's infantry.
They're really good with guns.
That shifted tides in Ukraine from my understanding.
I'm like learning a whole bunch.
We can make HIMARS faster.
Let me see.
They just bought.
They're building 48 new Patriot launchers to create 12 new Patriot firing batteries.
They're building 600 K9 artillery pieces, 800 K2 PLs, the freaking tanks.
They bought 250 M1A2 SEP V3 Abrams main battle tanks.
Like, literally anything they can get their hands on pulls like, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Sick of people fucking with them.
Bro, they are.
To be fair, if anybody has a historical reason to be worried about Russia.
Yeah, it's Poland.
So that's why.
I get it.
They're armed as fuck now.
They are.
It's cool to be in their TA, their territorial army.
To be a college student, if you're not in their version of the National Guard,
if you're not in that, you're not getting a girlfriend, dude.
Because your girlfriend's probably in the TA.
They are the European version of a battered women's shelter.
I shouldn't have found that so fucking funny.
Oh, man.
We may need to edit that out for me.
I found that way funnier than I fucking should have.
Just for that one spot of him laughing, it just goes back to normal.
I should not have laughed that hard.
I feel bad.
No, you don't.
No, I don't.
Holy Jesus Christ.
Yeah, no, Poland is, I mean, that's just, they're building, and this is the thing, Poland,
I thought like Poland just got fucking steamrolled, right?
I paid attention to history.
Well, when I started digging into it,
White Death.
They have,
well,
no,
that's Finnish.
That's Finnish,
Finnish,
yes.
Isn't there a Polish sniper?
The Winter War.
The Winter War,
yeah.
Was there a Poland sniper
that was Finnish?
There was probably
several Polish snipers.
Simo Hoja.
Yeah,
Simo Hoja is Finnish.
That's the White Death.
Oh,
sorry,
I thought that's what you asked.
Yeah,
no.
No,
you said Poland.
Nevermind.
Yeah.
They even have like, I was looking into some of their history.
So they have a museum ship.
And we have a museum ship, right?
We have the USS Constitution, just in case any fucking rapscallions want to get a throwback to, like, what we did to the Brits in the 1800s.
But so I was, like, looking into it.
And so when Germany and Russia invaded Poland, like, they took all their ships that were built and just bailed out to the United
Kingdom and then just proceeded to fuck with the Germans up the English Channel like that's all they did was just fight with Germans
Just are some Germans. Let's annihilate that shit with their their battleships that they had
They just they had two of them and they're like we're gonna you up as much as we can which to be fair based
Yeah, no, it's not
dude
They like they were literally like, you know when you play risk and the first person that like
really loses their like area of operation but they have like a couple little territories that's
literally poland just fucking with everybody else all of world war ii they go to their first alliance
they're like hey dude can i just like operate in this little area that you own and i'll just
fuck up the people we don't like and they're're like, sure. It was Polish artillerymen that had Wojtek, too.
What's Wojtek?
I don't know that.
Wojtek is the Polish artillery bear.
Oh, yes.
From the Battle of Monte Cassino.
Wait, they had the bear that actually would walk around chasing.
Yeah, they had the bear that carried artillery around.
Pull that shit up.
And they used it to interrogate somebody.
Yeah, it was hilarious.
They used it to interrogate someone?
That is the best way to interrogate people.
You're going to get waterboarded you're going to get waterboarded
or B, there's a bear standing
behind a guy and you're like, hey,
where's Muhammad? And the bear's just like
You're going to say
real fucking quick
I'm going to just
leave the room for about five minutes.
We declawed him and took his teeth out.
Still really strong.
Still gonna hurt you.
He's very horny right now.
We gave him Viagra.
A horny bear?
A horny gummy bear.
That door is fucking unimaginable, bro.
That door opens in six minutes.
I guess my mom's not watching this show.
I could have told you that before we started.
This is where I think it would have been a good idea to watch an episode of the podcast.
What am I getting into?
I watched your AK-50 thing.
I appreciate that.
This means he has no idea what the offenders are.
Oh.
We'll get into that in a bit.
You want to do it now or you want to wait?
I feel like it's better if we warm it up.
Okay.
Just kind of like, what is it, Botox?
Voitec?
Voitec.
There you go.
Better when you warm them up.
The **** bear.
Oh, I mean, that was the whole story.
They had a Polish artillery bear.
It was hilarious.
He changed the story.
He wasn't moving around.
He's the **** bear.
That's the way it's changed in my mind.
Back to the Molotov Pact.
The reason I brought it up was because I think and I've seen other people have said that the reason he actually cared back in 2019 to start shifting the narrative around the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact was because the argument for why Russia shouldn't be in control of Ukraine was always, well, you know, you've started World War II.
Like, you started this issue.
You don't get to complain that it didn't work out your way or you're a huge contributing factor.
So there's kind of the argument that, like, Russia's been keying up the disinformation and propaganda years in advance.
Yeah.
And I thought that that would be interesting to you.
And it kind of goes right into your alley because I watched your video about tracking down Russian bots on Twitter and proving it.
It's pretty fascinating, honestly.
Before you go into that, you do amazing work.
And the level of in-depth stuff you go into, I'm like, holy fuck.
This dude was infantry?
Yeah, I'm pretty surprised, too.
You definitely got way higher on the hazmat than you just decided.
I'll do that one.
I'll do that one. I'll do that one.
At first I felt like, all right, four years and I'm done.
I stayed and I kind of liked it.
I went to college while I was, you know.
He heard you could get naked pictures on these computers.
He's a fucking expert now.
He's a fucking expert.
I was that guy then.
I do know how to set up a local area network for grunts.
But that being said, I went to school for computer science while I was in.
And I got a bachelor's in computer science, a master's in engineering management,
and then later got a master's in cybersecurity.
Jesus.
And, you know, it used to be I'd find the bad guys,
and we'd put a hellfire through their window, right?
And now I find the bad guys and I expose them online.
Okay.
Sometimes I still do the other thing.
I do want to ask.
And you can, like, blink once for yes, blink twice for no,
so we don't, you know, violate anything that may be from a three-letter agency.
Were you or were you not ever personally or helped responsible responsible for a uh aim 9x hellfire the knife
missile um unaliving a human in this world i don't do weapon airing when does fast grocery

Instacart.
Groceries that over deliver
fuck i don't know what to do now i don't know what to do with my hands
that answer was that answer was the information is out of my hands i don't
fucking tell that answer was i've never played hot potato
but there was a guy that was blindfolded and I told him the direction.
Okay.
Fair enough.
That's like, God, one of my, uh, a, I, one of my relatives will say, uh, was in the Pacific
theater and then he was in, uh, Korea and then Vietnam.
What he did in Vietnam, he did a little bit of a spook work.
And the only thing we were ever told was that he would go up in basically spy planes,
like observation planes or whatever
with some of the locals
before the United States was in Vietnam.
And they would just take pictures.
And they would take pictures of, you know,
observation bases or whatever
and whatever they took pictures of.
Get them topographical nudes.
The next week when they went up,
those places weren't there anymore.
But his job was to take pictures.
Were they in like a U2?
I couldn't tell you, to be honest. I genuinely
don't know. But that was the only thing we were told,
is they would take pictures of stuff. And then it just so happened
that the next time they went up to take more pictures,
the things they took pictures of weren't there.
Was it like an Air America kind of thing?
I genuinely have
no clue. Air America was like
the CIA's Air Force
apparently this
never mind
I probably shouldn't say that
I mean maybe I could
I don't know
three letter agencies
apparently still operate
four F-117 Nighthawks
for the United States military
I didn't know that
that's not surprising
yeah
we have four of them
in our inventory
and they're operated
by three letter agencies
from what I was able
to find on the internet
and that's just
what's declassified
yeah that's
well like this is the thing recently we've come up with some shit all right my
missaltism is going to take off here do it right no pun intended we've come up with some and it's
just it's if anyone else in the world had done this we'd be like oh my god but because it's us
the world's like okay like they're just so used to us coming up with weird shit so we took a
standard missile six which is a surface to air i think it also has surface to
surface capability out of a vertical launch system on an aegis fucking destroyer and we like
yeah let's put it on the bottom of that f-18 so now we have the aim 174 yeah it's what by the way
it's the return of the phoenix missile the the missile can go further than the f-18 can see with
its radar so the way it's going to work is another plane can lock onto a target
that AIM-174 fires from beyond the horizon.
That is so fucking cool.
It's literally the baton race.
It's so fucking terrifying.
It's the F-35.
The F-35C will find the bad guys, and the F-18 is the bomb truck.
That's the missile truck.
That's just so terrifying. You could be chasing an American aircraft and be f uh f-18 is the bomb truck that's the missile truck that's just so
terrifying like you could be chasing an american aircraft like haha and then a telephone pole comes
out of the stratosphere and sends you back to your god like that's just the most terrifying
shit and then i hate to fight america like i gotta go up here we need to kill okay
look how fast that jet's going what What the fuck? It's dead.
I can tell you, I have no idea what went through someone's mind when they decided to fight us.
I can tell you.
Well, five, five, six.
I can't tell you.
Just start.
There was this one guy i remember he was uh
he was jam you know the little close sorry about that oh you're good this one guy he was jam you
know and uh he uh the kid worked in the uh iraqi police station and there he was kind of assigned
to us as like a little helper boy like we'd give him a couple of bucks and he'd go get Aish or, you know, whatever, you know, bread and Cokes and stuff like that.
And one time I saw that he was taking down like our bumper numbers on our vehicles, you know.
Oh, he was a town man.
Yeah, he was Jam, Motti Army, right?
And I was like, dude, you know, I'm going to cut him out of Bic.
I was like, you know, Omar, are you going to kill us today?
La, la, la, la, la, la. It's a dickie.
Bukura, bukura.
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow I kill you.
Would you like to meet a bear?
I have a super f***y bear.
At the same time, you probably experienced this in Afghanistan.
Anybody who stood up got cut down.
Which they've never seen a bear in their life. so that's already scary as shit, by the way.
The fuck is that?
There's some in the zoo.
I don't know.
It's like that scene from Rogue One where they have the tentacle alien come in and interrogate the guy.
It's like, what the fuck is that?
I have no idea.
It's a shaved bear dressed as a dominatrix.
But like, okay.
Jesus, Eli.
What the fuck?
That's called warfare.
You know how much
a dominatrix costs
in Washington DC area
why do you
$350
I'll tell you
I've started
fucking two white claws on this guy
I wouldn't touch this to somebody else's lips.
How much Old Bay did you use
that day?
Off that
bottle.
Now,
when I
evaluate someone for spreading
disinformation, I humiliate
them online, and then I find their
email address and I send them a bill for $350.
Does it always start with?
$350 of dominatrix services.
If you want to be humiliated on the internet, I will be more than happy to do it, but I'm going to charge you for it.
So I was, that's phenomenal work.
I'm sorry, I just... My mistletoe...
You threaten them with prostitution?
I sent him a bill for $350 for...
You want to...
...harmless humiliation services.
I actually...
I was at a convention, and I met a woman who...
She was a TikToker, and she makes her living...
We do post these, by the way.
Oh.
Okay.
Go on the internet.
Keep going.
I met a woman who was kind of like an online dominatrix.
You know, she was a TikToker.
And she would charge.
And she would just, like, from the comfort of her own home, humiliate men online.
I'm thinking, like, how?
Men, we are to blame for this.
We are to blame for it.
I don't know what.
I guarantee she's making six figures.
Oh, guarantee.
Guarantee.
Not only that, she owned three houses. This was in Arizona. It don't know what this is. I guarantee she's making six figures. Oh, guarantee. Guarantee. Not only that,
she owned three houses. This was in Arizona.
It was in Arizona. Three houses.
She was like renting two of them out, living in one. And I'm like,
I'm here making videos where... This is what
happens when you don't kiss the homies goodnight,
gentlemen. This is what
happens. Slaving away like a
sagger. Making internet
videos. This is what happens when you don't.
Talking down to people.
Are we just going to roll it all together by the end?
He's going to be like, oh, so this sagger had his bear, right?
When you don't think about the Roman Empire, this is what happens.
Yeah, this is exactly it.
Poor Chase.
But your misceltism.
My misceltism, yes.
Sorry, jumping back to my misceltism.
So there's two more things.
One, this is still in development right now.
I just heard about this thing.
Never seen a picture of it.
I have no idea how it functions.
But I don't know if you know, very recently, the United States Navy did a SYNCX,
where they take an old ship and they're like, we're going to fuck this thing up until it sinks.
Yeah.
Which is cool.
I love that we do that.
They took a B-2 stealth bomber.
By the way, there's two countries in this world, those who use the metric system and those who have stealth bombers.
I think it's alarming how long we have them.
That's my favorite part.
They still work.
They almost have a bomber that's comparable to the B-2.
It's like that shit we had 48 years ago.
Out of the fucking century?
American Desert Rock.
Sucks to not have Howard Hughes.
So they drop this bomb, and it a bomb from a obviously a stealth bomber cool and they're like fucking 50 000 feet up cool but it's called a
quick sink and it's literally designed to fuck up boats which is a great name awesome i i don't know
much about it but apparently it can track down a boat traveling at like 45 knots so from the stratosphere a stealth plane can drop a
bomb that chases you the fuck down on a boat god bless america i love that that's my okay why is
it called the quick sink i'll show you because i don't want to slow sink to quickly sink your
money in time to quickly sink your boat that's what it's designed what does it do is it like i have
no clue how it works i don't know shit about it it's still from what i read it's still in
development i don't think it's fully gonna say okay there's a boat in the water oh wow
it's called a fucking bomb i would assume it's just a big bomb like some sort of like explosion
under the surface that creates a vacuum or something. It destroys.
It's under the water already.
That's crazy.
It reminds me of that thing we did for Mr. Beast with his boat.
Watch.
I mean, this is...
By the time the smoke clears, it's just underwater.
God bless America.
I love it so much.
That's amazing.
God, make sure to leave cookies and milk out for Raytheon
tonight.
And then the last thing.
The good and bad list.
A missile goes down your
chimney.
That's for the bad boys and girls.
I can't talk about the weapon here.
So, very recently,
we know Iran was playing a game of fuck around
and we helped them find out a little bit.
Honestly, it was just a flex.
So they fired X amount of drones, like 400 drones and missiles at Israel, right?
Yep.
And obviously Uncle Sam was up there just playing fucking whack-a-mole.
We were having fun.
We were using it to just train.
That's really what it was for.
We just sent up our pilots.
We're like, take out as many drones as you can.
Every single one of those things was a lifetime of minimum wage taxes like that's what it was it was just so but what they did is they for the first
time in history i believe it's the sm3 i'm almost positive it's the sm3 because the sm2 is like a
patriot kind of in the sm6 is more like a thad talon so the sm3 is designed to go way the fuck
up there so they smoked a missile outside the atmosphere now that
may just sound like amazing and cool on its own but like i want to put this in perspective so
when we defend outside the atmosphere yeah exo-atmospheric it went outside the atmosphere
and said i'm gonna fuck you up out here you're not hiding from me that's like straight up iron
giant i am superman yeah like from a boat at sea level. Okay. But the crazy thing is, so most air defense systems, like we work best when we are the target.
So like if I'm protecting an airbase, I'm on that airbase.
And as the missile comes in, I shoot it as it's coming back down in its terminal phase.
Patriot shoots in terminal.
Thad shoots in terminal.
So the phases of flight of a ballistic missile going off on a missile is launch, boost, apogee, separation, and terminal.
That's how an average ballistic missile flies at apogee which is its
highest which is usually when they're outside the atmosphere depending on the missile um they're
also moving the fastest they have the most amount of energy the navy said fuck you i'm gonna kill
you when you're your fastest so now i'm 100 after seeing that i am 100 convinced that the
modern u.s navy can smoke an sr71 blackbird just because of that you can't get high enough and go
fast enough for them not to be able to kill you which when we were talking about this a little
bit earlier i am 100 convinced that we absolutely did not need to do that there's no reason we we
just did that for practice we're like i just want you to fucking know we can. Like, that's the amount of just, I'm going to do this because whatever reason.
Like, I love that.
When I tell people, like, Patriot is a good system.
It's a fucking great system.
Aegis is better in every way, every shape of the fucking idea.
I tell people, like, the easiest way to compare them is Patriot can see you if you're the size of a softball and about 100 miles away that's kind of the the common connotation aegis can kill you if you're 190
miles away in the size of a golf ball and that's 190 in any fucking direction horizon to the space
station whatever the you want to be away is that by proximity of the explosive or is it like the
actual in from launch uh depends on the interceptor and we've
had it since the 80s yeah we've had ages i know it's an old system i just don't know if they're
considering lethal range like from when the missile explodes in the blast radius or if it's like
impact a golf ball so i believe it would be for that i'm also not sure if you're allowed to say
well i don't know now we're in that weird i was like i don't i don't know for the sm2 3 and
6 that they still use i don't know which ones are proximity and which ones are kinetic so patriot
like pack 2 is a proximity shotgun blast yeah uh i'm gonna say this the exact same way a cw3
said this i'm not gonna say his name in front of my entire battalion okay pack 3 is like some of
you boys when you were 15 tip to tip he said this in front of the whole fucking battalion.
It's like the interstellar thing.
What are you doing?
Docking.
And pack two
is like some of you other boys at 15
tip to explosion.
And I was like, fuck.
He said this and I just all of a sudden
quietly like, this man should
lose his job immediately but we're like he's a cw3 this is the only podcast for him we got
demonetized was it the slurs or the government secrets
legit we are the war thunder
which podcast did we give away military secrets on?
You don't remember which one.
There were a couple.
Bing!
Oh, my God.
We never gave away...
Sorry.
You gave away secrets?
No.
No, that's fine.
Nobody can prove we ever did.

We need a history lesson.
Tell us some cool history shit.
I'm so good.
Wait, wait.
Hey, history man.
When was that system developed?
The Aegis combat system was in the 80s.
So this is the thing.
That's what makes it more terrifying because it's like that is from the 80s tech with AI
and the weapon systems coming out from that.
It is a killer robot.
It is a killer robot.
What's so crazy about Aegis,
people think Aegis,
they think of an Arleigh Burke class destroyer.
No, it's the whole fleet together.
So if Aegis, if an S...
Oh, great, we built a hive mind.
It pretty much is.
Yeah.
So if it decides,
so like let's say a radar anywhere in the fleet
picks up a target.
Elon's sweating right now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Picks up a target.
It can go, cool,
I'm going to kill that target
with that boat's missile and
fire it like it it's fucking insane what it just can that's really cool wait now it's it so it'll
be like hey this is the closest boat to this and i i will just take this kind of like what i was
saying earlier it's like it's a baton pass like it's fucking technology and just it's doing it
while it's moving on the ocean and fighting and hurricanes and shit like my radar
if it if it like sinks half an inch it's like re-implace me and i'm like fuck the missile knows
where it is because the missile knows where it is not but sometimes it doesn't know where the
ground is i don't know if you know that yeah patriot chased enemy missiles into the ground
in 2003 because it didn't know where the ground was but now we teach you where the ground allegedly oh yeah allegedly we didn't do that to be a couple of bankers above
oh you want to go on right you want to get off the gold standard
oh i think i've laughed more in this podcast than any of the other ones I've been on, man.
I'm dying right now.
We're doing all right.
We're doing all right.
The kids are okay.
Dude, I will say the last time you were on with Demo,
you, me, and I was like,
this is going to be the biggest episode.
It was like demonetized.
Really?
Yeah, I don't know why.
Lots of fucks.
Lots of fucks happens.
It's fine.
Chase, you got that. It was me? Yeah, you said, I think it was 17. Lots of fucks. Lots of fucks happens. It was actually you. It was me?
Yeah, you said, I think it was 17
fucks in 18 seconds.
That was aggressive.
You kicked off
my miscellanism, okay? That's a you problem.
He's
teaching shit to the army.
At a certain point,
it just flies. It really does.
I want to be like, you know our military is like so great
and so like the military anyone who's been in the military realizes that all it is is it's taking a
mirror and showing it to the population like we're just like 40 year old mirror it's a portal to the
shit we had 40 years ago i did a video just the other day,
just actually technically last night,
where I used
Medea as an
analogy. I could be
bad all by myself.
And someone commented and they said
how do you know Medea? I was an
infantryman. Did you ever see the infantryman
friend group meme? Yeah, you're a black
dude, a Hispanic dude,
a white guy wearing a cowboy hat because freaking of course.
I'm just – I'm watching you like explain like,
okay, so there's the current Ukraine situation.
So anyway, drawing back a comparison to Norbit.
You know what?
And, you know, a good movie is a good movie.
But one of the neat parts about being an infant or being in the military
is that you have this friend group that you would never normally have.
Yeah, and you go out to the club when you're in Germany,
two white guys, one of them has a cowboy hat,
one Hispanic guy, a black dude, and an Asian dude.
And you're all buddies.
They walk into a bar?
Yeah, they all walk into a bar.
Sometimes they even get thrown back out again.
Never.
Never, ever happens.
Period.
I've closed a couple of bars.
Oh, yeah.
I think everyone.
What was your favorite experience?
Like, just going out with the boys in a different country.
Was it Germany?
Yeah, Germany.
I mean, I've been to Germany, Fort Stort, Fort Bliss.
If you had to have a great time and go back in time,
any of your boys in any country.
Savannah.
Pivotal.
Pivotal.
Boom.
I don't know.
Pivotal.
It would be River Street in Savannah.
Really?
No shit.
River Street in Savannah.
I've only been a couple times.
I've never really.
Maybe it was the 90s.
You know, it's the 90s, and you're...
It's kind of...
A port store is kind of weird, because it's like you go out...
Romania?
All right, so if your wallet hits the ground in Romania, what hits it first, germs or a Romanian?
Jesus Christ!
Fucking Christ, man!
You know what they call a...
You know those lock boxes they have for mail and shit?
Like, you know, you go up with a key and open it and get your mail out.
You know what they call that in Romania?
Free stuff.
An advent calendar.
My Romanian followers are going to be like, this is not funny.
It's all right, your AKs are shit.
Ryan's like, when did i get myself into my mom is not gonna be able to watch you're in the infantry this might interest you okay i was uh i did a video with demolition ranch today okay and he
let me pick the topic and i wanted to answer the age-old meme question you are you familiar with
the meme of like where you're grading different calibers and 50 Cal is for when there's a bad guy hiding behind the fridge at your neighbor's
house. I wanted to know the smallest caliber that you could actually do that with. So we
actually did shoot through a house, through a fridge, into a ballistic shell torso with
different calibers to find out which one it was. 22 penetrated much further than I thought
it would. It made it, dude, it went through an exterior wall, through the back of the fridge, and dented the fridge door.
Were you shooting through a wall and then spaced 30 feet in between?
No.
That is the big one.
That is the big one.
22 has probably killed more people than any other freaking caliber.
Because the gangbangers can't afford the big ones.
Or it's like, oh, you know, it's just a.22.
I knew a guy, this is a buddy of mine,
who his sister was like this,
that her ex-husband was banging on the door,
banging on the door, let me in, let me in.
And she took 22 rifles.
If you come in here, I'm going to shoot you.
And he broke in through the door,
and she shot him, hit him right in the you. And he broke in through the door, and she shot him,
hit him right in the chest, and he fell back on the railing.
And he's lying there, and he takes out his cigarette,
lights his cigarette, and the police come.
He's there smoking his last cigarette.
The police come up to him.
There's a hole right in the sternum.
The police come up there.
The bullet's sticking out, and they just pop it out,
put a Band-Aid on it freaking take him to the police station
and what's funny is that uh as if that wasn't hilarious a murder story
so my friend killed this guy right my sister
domestic violence am i right my sister met another guy and this guy heard that story and so he bought
her a real gun you like a.38.
I thought you were going to say he bought a bigger gun.
Which to me, I would think is like,
you might be signing your own death warrant here.
She already shot one boyfriend.
Eventually, she broke up with him.
He said these two became friends.
The two ex-boyfriends became friends,
and they would hang out around town at the bars and just talk about her.
I don't know what it is about that girl, but it must be something.
I wish, if she was still single, I'd try to get her number.
There must be something about this person.
Not your sister, then?
No.
Okay.
I was like, wait, where is this girl?
Is she your sister's friend?
No, Army Buddy's friend.
Oh, okay.
Sorry about that.
I heard the same thing.
Army Buddy's sister.
There we go okay I
was like you can get your sister's number ask your mom But 9mm actually... That would be a good t-shirt. What are you doing, step-sergeant?
We had one yesterday.
Fuck, what was it?
Step-nomad?
Yeah.
Step-nomad.
Was it step-nomad?
We were talking about the Mongol Empire.
Oh, God.
Yes, it was.
Step-nomad.
Yo, speaking of nomads...
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Oh, sorry.
Guns.
Yeah, we gotta finish this story.
9mm punched through the fridge. 556 punched through the fridge then i wanted we're gonna do
50 cal obviously but i wanted to do 8.6 blackout because are you familiar i'll let brandon explain
the ballistics it's so amazing it's so 8.6 blackout is like uh basically the equivalent of
uh 300 blackout but for five or for a 308 instead of 556.
So they take 308 and they neck it up to 8.6
millimeter. They beef up the cartridge
or they beef up the projectile.
Are you hunting dinosaurs in this thing?
Just wait.
You have the energy of 308
but you have
it subsonic so it's below 1000 feet
per second so it doesn't have the pop
of the ear. You could suppress it pretty easy. And it's below a thousand feet per second so it you know it doesn't have the pop at the ear you know if you could suppress it pretty easy and stuff and it's a one to three
twist rate versus your standard ars like one eight to one twelve i mean so when they came out
so so kevin brittingham basically developed a way that uh you were able to keep uh energy because
people are worried about okay energy is really what causes
damage with the projectile so like okay
so velocity is the way you do that so the
E equals MC squared that C
being the squared part that's the part that matters
the most the energy that is behind it not just
the mass so
what they ended up doing is they increased
the twist rate because if you
can't accelerate it past a thousand feet per
second because then you go you know supersonic and gets loud and it defeats the fucking purpose.
So what they did was they accelerated the rate of twist.
And so they had, instead of linear velocity, they had centripetal velocity, I guess what you call that.
And so they basically just keep energy in rotational energy instead of linear energy.
And so they were able to make it a fucking very heavy hitting cartridge while still not breaking the sound barrier.
Think of a drill bit.
It penetrates like a drill.
It is.
It will.
Grantham actually, Mike, did a video on it.
Shows how hard it hits.
Subsonic ground.
Again, subsonic.
This is less than 1,000 feet per second.
Hitting a ballistic dummy head at, I think it was like 200 or 100 yards,
and the head, it was equivalent to a 12-gauge buckshot going off.
It just fucking exploded.
Because it's also wider while it's delivering that energy, and it's just, oh, yeah.
That cavity, it creates the second it hits and expanses.
It just opens up everything.
I have never heard of this cartridge.
It's terrifying.
It's developed by the same guy who did 300 Blackout.
Yeah.
Kevin's kind of a smart guy.
He's kind of a smart guy.
He knows his guns.

So the 8-6 went through the wall, through the fridge, and then it started keyholing.
And it keyholed through four more walls and the kitchen cabinets out the other side of the house.
Did you build a house?
What range were you on where you did this?
No, they had a range, but they just shot through the neighbor's house.
Sorry! Jesus Christ. No, they had a range, but they just shot through the neighbor's house. They knew roughly where the fridge was.
Jesus Christ.
Here's actually, I think that it would definitely be different if there was stuff in the fridge.
The 50 Cal was also keyholing, but that was the wall after the fridge.
50 BMG?
Yeah, 50 BMG keyholed all the way through the house also.
That's terrifying.
Most people don't know this, but modern fridges aren't really thick.
Yeah, I'll buy that.
It's probably all just... i just got a 45 70
i'm happy with that it's fun what do you have uh henry yeah good old liver action 45 70 the gold
boy got the brass butt plate uh lets me know after about a box and a half of shells yeah it feels
real good they weren't designed with compensators that is just like a cut off burrow and be like
oh man the recalls real nice on this thing
it's like a 12 gauge that's angry at you like that's what that's what the recall feels like
it's way slower yeah that one's got a little bit of ass to it yeah i got that thing i was like i
really wanted one and then i like took it to the range once i was like that's cool i'll make it
like a display or something or just like for rapscallions that break into my fucking house
wake up every just in case the rapscallion gun yeah the rapscallions to break into my fucking house? Wake up every... Just in case. The rapscallion gun?
Yeah, the rapscallion gun.
Fighting pirates? I don't fucking know.
We're using rapscallions today, okay boys?
Next to your loaded blunderbuss.
Home defense shot with silverware
from a blunderbuss.
Just like the founding fathers.
What was this?
Okay, so almost every round went through everything uh
almost uh damn near and then it well after we found out that nine million five five six would
go through a wall through a fridge and into a ballistics gel dummy then we moved the ballistics
gel dummy into the bathroom shower while still shooting through the fridge into the shower where
the fuck were you shooting was it in one of the abandoned houses? Yeah. So he has a, he bought an abandoned resort from the 1990s.
Probably should have started with that.
That was fun.
So he has, he has two like abandoned houses.
They went to the neighbors, the Motel 6.
They were like, I mean, they're like full of mold.
Like you can't, there's nothing you can do.
They just need to be torn down.
So he's like, well, I mean, let's shoot bullets through it.
I mean, pretty unique opportunity.
But uh, so we have, we had 50 Cal rounds hit a ballistics gel dummy while the rounds were keyholing.
Those were terrifying.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
That's how you shred.
What is that?
A dude had a new armpit.
It was bad.
You could see.
So this is where I round do this through his torso.
Geneva is not a big fit.
Like, no, no.
That's why the 16s got reworked because they would start tumbling, right?
Back in the...
Oh, yes.
The original Mattel models?
Like the shit ones.
They would start tumbling.
Mattel, I think that's an urban legend from what I was told.
Really?
Okay.
Yeah, because Mattel made like a toy around the same time.
And people thought that it was...
It's not a fucking far stretch
to say that an American toy company
or something like that would be making it.
Brunswick, the bowling ball
company, made the gun grips for my
1911. I mean, the same guys who
make your washer and dryer
make the fucking Gow 19, so
it's not really a huge stretch.
I'm joking.
GE, they make things that spin and
clean
that's what they do
both the same
model the same commercial
same fucking motor
I need to clean my clothes cool I also
need to destroy a fucking
convoy of towel hair you're never gonna believe
this
we have you covered because the bullets would y'all like
yeah so like i've i've interviewed quite a few uh vietnam era like infantrymen that were running
point and like all of them when the m16s came out fucking hated them and most of them all of them
except for one i think had their wife or their parents mail their either Mossberg 500 or their Remington 590 from home.
And they went around through Vietnam with a fucking shotgun.
I was actually just talking about this a little bit earlier about the early M-16s and one of the things that did it.
And Wendigo did a pretty good video on that.
I missed a couple things, but he did a great analytical take on what actually happened there with the military industrial complex and like really just like the the people the powers that be
not wanting to move to the m16 and ended up sabotaging it like the the the
cartridges that they were using at the time the manufacturer like eugene stone
are basically saying like hey you should never ever use this type of powder for
the cartridge for the five five6 that you're using for this
and they were like yeah but we have a shitload of that powder and it would be a lot cheaper
and they already hated that and they wanted to keep the m14 or whatever it was so they
they used a lot of that powder and it caused a shitload of issues a load of jamming issues with
the m16 so it wasn't exactly a problem with the platform it was a problem with the ammunition
that they were given in tandem with the platform
without cleaning kits also
I think it had to have been part of the environment too
because even in your Trump video
where we do the ear shot
everybody's watching the ear
but if you go back and watch Brandon's video
in its entirety
you can actually watch, as soon as it clips the ear
it clips that much ballistics gel
and within 6 inches the round completely keyholes.
I will also say this.
This is that is a problem with the distance that we were shooting it from.
Okay.
Because you have an issue where, sorry, this is like you're touching my face now.
Oh, I'm loving it.
Go for it.
Once you get past a certain, if you're within a certain distance of the round, leaving the muzzle, certain rounds are worse.
Like honestly, five, four, five, one of the round leaving the muzzle certain rounds are worse like honestly 545 one of the worst if
you actually watch it fucking leaving the barrel like in the larry larry vickers videos
it takes a while for the i guess rotation of the round to actually catch and make the rifle round
go straight okay and if the the tail of the round will actually fish around for a bit before it locks in.
So it's because we were so close.
Because we ended up wanting to replicate it dead on where it was hit and not blow the fucking head off the dummy.
But I mean, that could also make sense from those Vietnam guys' perspective.
Because if a dude's popping up from 20 feet away out of the bush and you're trying to shoot through brush.
Because one of them told me they hated the m16 because the bullets would ricochet
off grass my point is is what he said i'm not saying it's true you had to shoot a guy two or
three times to get their attention because the rounds were going you know it was green
potentially be a problem but the thing is any rifle round no matter five five six whatever
it will do that that's cool have a period where, like, basically, think of a Nerf football,
where it takes a while to right itself.
We need to go back to 45-70.
So the original was a 1-14 twist rate.
So it would rotate every 14 inches.
That's why we're saying with the 8.6, it's 1-3 twist rate.
So you have like
stabilizing well before it even every three inches you're making a rotation yeah versus
one to fourteen which is no wonder it was key holing shit at that time or tumbling because
that is those were 16 to 18 inch barrels i'm guessing for the original out for the original M16 pretty sure it was 20 yeah so one rotation
before one and a third
yeah that's
crazy
we're back from the after show with something
we forgot that was important
it's our organic cut so
Ryan yes go ahead
we have a superhero group
that is like the Avengers
except that we're...
Retarded.
Yeah, that's a great word for it.
Yeah, sure.
We all have powers that are normal, like superhero powers, but we have offsets that the group
gets to choose that are, let's say, not safe for work.
Okay.
So we would like to ask you if you'd like to be a part of our
superhero group. What power would you choose?
Is there any money in it for me? No, we can give you
the examples. God, you are crazy.
You told me about the offenders
but I've never been asked to join.
We got a double.
For example, Eli's power.
I am Crime Cook. I can
travel at the speed of light like the Flash.
Unfortunately, I can't interact with objects for five minutes after doing that.
He gets there and just has to bear witness to whatever crime he wants to stop.
I can take notes in my head.
Ma'am, are you okay?
Ma'am, fight harder.
You have a superpower, but you also have a little offset that we determine.
You get to pick the superpower.
We get to pick the offset.
My superpower is I can find the clitoris.
You're gay.
Thank God!
Now I don't have to worry
about the thermostat! I'm dying! God! Now I don't have to worry about the thermostat!
I'm the fastest!
He's instant!
Fuck, man, I can't talk, man!
Fuck!
Oh, holy shit!
Instant talk! Instant talk, Nick! Holy shit. Instant.
Oh, fuck, Nick.
In all honesty, this is not a bad outcome,
but we got to talk about this poop thing.
He got his real superpower.
He doesn't have to fuck with a thermostat.
That's what he really wanted.
Oh, my God.
Holy shit.
Go on.
What's your super power?
I am crying.
Shit.
I don't even know where the fuck I'm at.
How can I top that?
I can go back in time five minutes.
Only where exactly where I'm at.
I just need to recoup
my foot. Why are you giving yourself
offsets? I was like, pick a real superpower.
Okay, fine. I have the power
of inconvenience. I can move your
table one inch to the right to make you stub your
toe. That's an offset.
Pick a fucking
superpower. Fine.
How about that?
You're gay
Weirdest proposal
They shook on it and everything.
Oh, man.
I mean, they're good.
They got it.
We don't even need offsets now.
Fuck.
Welcome to unsubscribe.
That was the funnest offender we've ever done.
Oh, my God.
You were in Fort Lewis?
Yes, sir.
Strikers?
Yes, sir.
Eli's got some fun striker stories.
I have my face on a striker.
We ran it through a building striker.
We've done a lot with strikers.
Have I ever told you what 19 kilos, as used to be one refer to the mgs striker
as i was in the system the mgs i was in the first mgs striker or next to the first round ever fired
in iraq with the mgs striker next one of the first kills with an mgs striker like right here
was the ticker and that's my buddy we were in a firefight. I got hit. Gun went off.
And I thought it was an IED.
It's the reason.
He was like, that IED was crazy.
I was like, that was the striker.
And then Sarko, shout out to you.
He was like, you good?
We're like, yeah.
What the fuck did you just shoot?
That was a dude.
It's the reason I ask you a question at brunch and you say, what?
Well, because this is the thing.
When I was a 19 kilo, the only reason I couldn't stay 19 kilos was because I was kilo 4 trained and not romeo 4 now the difference is kilo 4 was on the seps the
system enhanced package the more modern tanks and romeo 4 they were trained on the mgs striker
and back then president obama was like we don't need tanks anymore and whatever and so thanks
obama yeah and so all the guys went over to mgs and and I was like, cool, I want to reenlist.
They're like, pick a new job or get out.
And I was like, I like missiles, and fucking that's where they sent me.
Yeah.
Yeah, we used them to, literally, if there was debris to get on senators.
When we were exfilling on that mission, there was debris, so we couldn't get out because the Iraqis felt like debris, so we couldn't exfill onto the main MSR.
What did we do?
Sergeant comes up, I got it.
MGS-4.
I can underbreeze that real quick.
Yeah, really fucking great.
Realistically.
Okay, drive it through.
Realistically,
artillery was one of those positions, though,
that got a buff by God or technology or whatever
because it's like,
all right,
we're just going to sit back here
and just lob a bunch of shit at the enemy
as soon as we were like,
yeah, computers can make us hit it within a toenail. Everybody's like, all right, we're just going to sit back here and just lob a bunch of shit at the enemy. As soon as we were like, yeah, computers can make us hit it within a toenail.
Everybody's like, what is this?
This is way more terrifying.
Dude, I tell you right now, I have never met a group of people in the military who love eliminating humans as much as field artillery.
I'm just telling you, it's so strange.
I'd be in the smoke pit hanging out with these guys.
And I talked to one of them.
He was a 13 Juliet.
So his job is like,
he works in the FTC,
like getting people,
you know,
like getting them on target.
And there was apparently some Taliban guy.
He was the guy doing math,
right?
Yeah.
He's the guy who does literally like the kids in China,
doing math on the abacus.
It isn't there.
That's him.
Like these degrees i guess the way he was saying he's calling in fucking stratagems
so he's telling me he's like there was some some taliban guy like popping out of a cave
shooting or whatever and they're getting back in the cave and so they were like hey uh you know
get deal with this and he's like okay i mean i can i can get one shot no problem and he's like
and he's like all right he did the math and he told him their deflection i'm not using the right
fucking words fa guys i'm sorry i'm an air defender and uh like he's like you know round
out and they fired cool and like 30 seconds by, dude popped back out right on him.
Like at his feet.
Good dude.
One five five.
Mind you.
Like that was a triple seven shot.
For one dude.
For one dude.
Because that's all they had, I guess, was triple sevens there.
They didn't have one one niners.
And so like everyone else in the talk was real quiet because they're watching this through like the raid camera.
And he was just like, yeah!
So proud of himself. this through like the raid camera and he was just like literally like the buzzer
beater and basketball
yeah it's so straight everybody else is over You dropped a 1-5-5 on that guy? That was one dude. I found a foot!
Yeah!
That's a good day.
When you get a bad guy, it's a good day.
Just tell him that
I was on a date and this girl
said, how do you feel
when you put a hellfire through somebody's window?
She did not use those words.
Did she say hellfire? window she did not use those words what was his name
the gay thing,
when you think about it, how great would it be
to go out on a date and talk about football?
Oh, man.
He would make fun of me for not having
a boyfriend instead of not having a girlfriend.
I'm with it. It's just like the
farts that throw me off.
You'd never have to
worry about the thermostat.
That's true.
Now, the only problem I can see is, like, the butt.
My problem is the guy.
Hold on.
I think it's what's attached to the butt.
It's all fun and games until it's anything regarding intimacy.
Hold on.
The Giants are great, but how do we make them better?
Let's add poop hold on that's
gonna be a tough sell there hold on that i you have no idea how much of a crowning achievement
this is probably the worst sentence ever said the crowning is a great use right there
that is
so okay you guys ever have, like,
okay, so this is guy talk here, and it's
being fucking true.
Try with this Chinese food.
World's best ex-boyfriend shirt on.
Connor.
What that girl you're talking to
asked you yesterday in one text?
Certainly not.
Sorry. What?
What was the text she sent you out of the blue
tell her about what
oh about Bohemian Grove
tell me about
Bohemian Grove that was her opening
to the conversation which he's the conspiracy
theory guy so it was
it was a hellfire
it wasn't the opening we were talking about having
a thousand children whose neighbors were
cousins what the fuck anyways It wasn't the opening. We were talking about having a thousand children whose neighbors were cousins.
What the fuck?
Dope.
Wait, names of those cousins?
Whose neighbors were cousins.
Oh, neighbor. Okay.
So you're not being fruitful in multiple ways.
Ah, yes.
It's certainly not about vaginas being assholes.
Okay.
What?
On that note, and this whole part's probably going to have to get cut the fuck out.
But anyway, so.
A lot of it is edited.
Have you guys ever, like, had, like, guy talk with your buddies?
And you're just, like, you're playing video games.
You're just shooting shit about whatever.
You're, like, existential.
You can, like, conspiracy theories and all sorts of shit.
Somehow, we ended up on the topic of, like, gay man sex.
Okay?
Stay with me here.
Stay with me.
And I was playing video games my wife
heard this walking by and i was like you know you ever take a poop and it feels really good so i'd
say like 50 of butt sex probably feels all right and like she just looks at me she's like what the
fuck and you don't have to worry about the thermostat just like the outstrokes This is way too many military people on this podcast right now.
We found how many people it takes to make this game.
Let's close this podcast out.
Let's get each other back.
Eli! I'm a ghost. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Let's talk about it.

Hey, medics have one job that I could never
fucking do and that's
not sticking a
thermostat in someone's
man's or in another
man's and that's
triage.
I could never do that
shit.
You really do that.
You really put IVs up
at guys around the
silver bullet.
I've done that once.
I thought you're
talking about
thermometers.
That happens a lot.
It's usually reserved
for so like when
somebody is like
malingering.
So like we've had
people that would like I'm going to come to the aid station four days in a row because I think I have heat stroke at 8 a.m.
Over and over and over again.
So he can get out of doing his job for four days straight.
It's like, all right, well, here's the note.
Hand that to the medics.
And like they already know.
But it's just like, it's time.
We're going to get the core temperature for sure. And we'll see if you come back tomorrow with fucking heat stroke. out hand that to the medics and like they already know but it's just like it's time we're gonna get
the core temperature for sure and we'll see if you come back tomorrow with fucking heat stroke
so my my girl's a medic so like the one time i had i had a actually like legit medical issue
at some point and like my my blood sugar fucking tanked like to where like i if it wasn't for her
i would have been face down on my kitchen tile, like, bad off. And, uh,
she fucking, like, ends up straddling me on the
couch, rubbing cake icing in
my fucking gums. I was like, alright,
so if this doesn't work for you, and if this doesn't,
you know, end up stopping you from passing
out, the next is
I have to take that same fucking finger of cake
icing and shoving it where the sun doesn't
shine, so you better fucking stay awake.
And I have never been
more motivated my entire life i will fucking i will pretend like i'm okay i will this is how
this is when i really understood autism and sensories and taste right and hates he fucking
hates medicine we had to take him to the doctor one time. He had to have a rectal medicine inserted. And then
we were home. He got sick again. This is like
six months later, a year later. This is your son?
Yeah. And
I remember he was like, I'm like, you gotta go to the doctor
buddy. You're sick. He's like, no.
I was like, we gotta take medicine. He's like, no.
I was like, okay, it's medicine or it's
the butt medicine, like the rectal
medicine. He's like, okay. I was like,
what? I was like, okay, wait, hold it. You want, like the rectal medicine. He's like, okay. I was like, what?
I was like, okay, wait, you want to do the rectum medicine versus normal?
He's like, that's fine.
I was like, okay, this is autism for a whole.
Really, guy?
My guy.
I was like, it's a pill.
Are you sure?
He's like, it's fine.
Freaking send it.
Yeah.
I was like, now I understand autism to a new level.
He'll do that over regular medicine. I'll never call it a big deal for you never mind i'm sorry it's a big deal you were just overreacting
yeah that's i well this is the thing so you're you're uh with a girl who's a is she a nurse
medic or yeah flight paramedic okay flight paramedic and then you were a medic and you you got a Purple Heart
So you've been around medics you've been around medics and I feel less qualified medics have I know everything
They have two speeds and like I've never experienced the second one
But the first one is oh you're being a baby like no matter what it is
Like you could have something as long as they know it's not life-threatening
You have yet to yourself up bad enough for them to give a shit
They're like a smack you like it. you got like fat tissue showing on your arm they're like yeah
you're a bitch go get some duct tape you're fine right and then there's the one where they're like
trying to act cool they're like you're gonna be fine dude you're gonna be fine like i never want
to look a medic in the eye they're like you're gonna be fine man i promise yeah that's when
shit has gone downhill real fast there's a real comforting factor to your being a bitch. Yeah, like this.
That's the second
part of the training kicking in that you're about
to die. And they're like, make sure you tell them
it's cool. And you're like, it's cool, man.
You're not going to die.
You're going to be okay.
You're going to be okay.
Pulling tourniquets out.
Oh, man.
I will tell you,
so tourniquets
holy shit yeah my arm was cut off and reattached
yeah it was
next time start with
that is a scar star
you want the whole story
start at the end
we already fucked up
1994
you know private Macbeth
joins the army Infantry.
That happened in the military?
No, no, no.
This actually happened.
But it goes all the way back.
All right.
So I had this drill sergeant.
Drill sergeant Rinks.
Eddie, you should talk like this.
Like when I became an instructor, I wanted to get a voice modification.
So when I talked to my pilots, I would talk like this.
That's exactly how you would talk and he was like a god he had been in panama he had been in uh granada granada he hadn't been in the
first golf where he was on the trail then or he was a drill sergeant but um you know we we this
guy revered the guy we revered this dude he was like a walking god of infantry knowledge. And I remember
one day someone had an ND.
Negligent. Discharge. In basic?
In basic. And it was actually
in the
starship. Did you go to
Harmony Church
or Sand Hill? Sand Hill.
I was at Sand Hill. Wait, there's a Harmony Church?
Yeah, it's like the older. Okay, yeah.
They didn't have that. That's okay.
So they had to, you know, when you put away your weapons,
you pull the trigger.
Oh, this one guy.
I guess he wasn't inspected right.
Oh, so it wasn't like an NDND.
He did it into the fucking designated area.
Vertically.
Oh, shit.
Okay.
And then as a private, you were not.
That's a fucking problem.
That's a problem and it was a problem
with the drill sergeant
he goes in
like Shang Tsung
comes out
he's like
your soul is mine
and the private dies
exactly
these drill sergeants
they smoked us
I want to say
for about two hours
and at some point
I was like
I'm going to quit
I don't want to
play army anymore
I'm going to quit
and I don't know
if he was saying it
to everyone
but he said it to everyone,
but he said it to me.
Now, this guy, by the way, Drill Star and Ricks,
he used to make me carry around a book of Shakespeare's plays.
You know, they go,
Mac, we would be waiting a chow, you know,
standing in a parade dress.
Macbeth, Macbeth, where's Macbeth at?
I wants to hear a sonnet.
I would run out of my little book and read it.
Do the voices, Macbeth.
So yes, it was blackface.
Ah, ah, ah, Macbeth, you so funny.
Ah, ah, ah, I don't like white people.
I make an exception for you.
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
We're definitely on blackface.
So this guy.
So I'm Johnson.
That's who I'm picturing right now.
I'm picturing the full-on UNSC armor.
I was doing, I was on my back.
I was doing flutter kicks, you know.
You fought pretty good, Farbrick.
This guy, he puts his round brown like one millimeter.
One millimeter in front of my face. He goes, pop it, McBat.
Never give up the will to live and i was like okay and like i like at that moment i didn't give up the will i decided i was
gonna i was gonna push through this and i did i graduated from basic and i eventually i became
an instructor i got to teach soldiers which was one of the most rewarding moments of my career.
Now, the funny thing came when I got out and I did triathlon.
They call me an iron marshmallow.
I don't look it, but I do triathlons.
I do marathons.
Who's they?
Everybody, it wasn't me.
My wife. God, wouldn't that's they? Everybody who isn't me. My wife.
God, wouldn't that be great?
Just conjure her into
beating for me.
I can't even get a freaking date.
It's tough being a smoker and a gun
owner in the Washington, D.C. area.
You're not the one guy who asked
how you felt after tossing a hellfire.
That's true.
So, I was
riding my bike, and I'm riding
and I'm riding and I'm riding, and it was 5.30
in the morning, and I take a turn. I take it a little too
fast, and I realize that I'm about to hit a light
pole. This is in, like, Odington, Maryland.
I'm, like, way far out. And I'm
about to hit this concrete light pole, and at the last
moment, I do this! You know?
And the light pole cuts
my arm off. Your shit, like, is it off-off? It's hanging by a couple of my arm off now like is it off off it's hanging by
a couple of tubes dude when you see it it's not great like look how fucking yeah and i can only
move my arm like that so i remember i'm sitting there and i'm thinking to myself do you have like
finger like mobility and shit like yeah i went to physical therapy for a year like my gunshot looks like i i don't know i've got a bad mosquito bite no i uh looks like a fucking yeah this was not
from combat but i i i actually went to physical therapy and i did everything they told me to do
which is why i probably slowed most of my i can't like when i try to pour m&ms in his hand they all
fall out oh crap i can't do that right that's so you walked in a bike and then fucking jesus a bicycle bicycle
yes uh tri bike it was going uh 18 miles an hour and that's why i live off of my firm belief that
if it doesn't have tits or a motor i don't ride it good idea so i'm lying there and i'm like
how many seconds do i have to put on a tourniquet? I got 15
seconds to put on a tourniquet.
And so I have my bike jacket.
I want to have a cigar rail at 89 miles an hour like
God intended. I got
one of my bike wrenches and I tightened
down my bike jacket. Holy fuck.
They don't tell you how much it hurts. Oh, dude.
Yeah, ours did. Ours was like, it's gonna
be terrible.
Turn until the red blood, the bright red blood stops.
It hurt.
It was the worst pain of my life.
And I remember I picked up my arm.
I look at my phone.
And I'm like, all right, I don't have a signal.
When was this?
About 2019.
Oh, god damn.
Holy shit.
And so I'm looking at my phone.
I don't have a signal.
I'm out too far.
I'm thinking, all right, I can stay here or I can, if I stay here, I'm going to die.
Like maybe a freaking, a jogger will come by, another cyclist.
But if I stay here, I'm going to die.
And I remember my drill sergeant, never give up till we're here to live.
And as I pick up my arm and i start walking
and i start walking down that trail until eventually i get i get a signal and i call
9-1-1 and they're like well we don't know where you are you need to keep walking they actually
sent an ambulance and i had to walk to the ambulance they didn't even come out a little
thing they made me get on then they hit every freaking bump on the way there.
Did you ever reconnect with that drill sergeant?
I did not.
No.
If you're watching this, drill sergeant.
What's his name?
Drill sergeant.
Drill sergeant Ricks.
Drill sergeant Ricks, if you're watching this.
He never lost a wheel.
Drill sergeant that was black and had that voice.
Comment below.
They take me to the hospital.
It's a teaching hospital.
So they send
these nurses in, these student nurses
in, and
some of them are coming, and I guess they don't get a lot
of amputations there, so they want
to show them what it looks like.
And I'm lying in bed, right?
And some of the nurses come in, they're like,
ooh, turn around.
This one nurse comes in and goes, how'd this
happen? I told her. And she goes,
I wouldn't have been able to do that. And I said,
yeah, you would have. Never give up
doing what you do.
She's like, this guy
turns around like he's mentally
ill too.
That guy's
racist. Therapist on aisle
nine.
We're going to send mental health down here and the doctor to fix that arm.
Don't worry, we got you.
More surprises, just that fucking scar is gnarly.
Yeah, I mean, you should have seen it.
I can show you the x-rays.
I look like the Terminator.
I want normal pictures.
I just want you holding the skull, but it's a tibula.
I can show you the...
Most of my left arm.
I know, I know.
I was like, put it up on the screen, Chase,
and blur it out so you just see like...
Most of my left arm is metal.
I am like the Terminator.
I don't even...
Eli, where did you get shot?
I don't even know where.
Mine was...
Like the IEDs did more...
They shook my brain more than the bullet because the bullet grazed off.
It bounced off the wall.
It rode down the wall.
So it lost a lot of the kinetic energy.
Was it like a grazing wound?
No, it just hit and then barely went in, stopped,
and then I just had a massive bruise that wrapped all the way around
because the next day I went to the wrong aid station,
did not get any time off it was on a mission the next day the most army shit i've ever heard in my
life yeah i went to the wrong hospital after i was shot so i didn't get a day off yeah so and
they sat down the striker and it's climbed over me he put his hand right down on my leg to climb
over me i was like oh shit sorry and then it was supposed to be an easy mission.
Oh, yeah, Ennis knew I got shot.
He just forgot it was in that leg.
Then it was like, hey, we're not, dude, we just lost two dudes,
and a team got sent back.
We won't go on missions.
An hour later, we got a mission.
It's going to be easy.
Yeah, we got to do it, guys.
I used to have a commander that was like that.
I'm going to go there.
I'm going to fight for us. I'm going to go to battalion. This is BS, Bob. I used to have a commander that was like that. I'm going to go there. I'm going to fight for us.
I'm going to go to battalion.
This is BS, Bravo Company.
This is BS.
And then an hour later, it comes back.
Well, Bravo Company, we got to do it.
We're a Bravo Company.
Literally, we're a Bravo Company.
That sounds like the most generation kill shit ever.

If you have questions or concerns about your gambling or someone close to you, I bought a little company and then ran up to the mission.
It's an easy mission.
No one's there.
I was like, okay, I'll lead it.
I was leading the squad.
And then a machine
machine gun goes off i'm like fuck i'm in a field so i like pivot around the house everyone falls
like what the i was like hey what the fuck is going on and then holly peaks always like hey
sorry that was us we had a breach with the 249 i'm like why the did no one my heart was like
we had to breach with the 249 yeah i don't know why we had to breach
with the 249 yeah I don't know why
they had to breach with that for reasons
I tell you right now we had this guy
I look back on it and I'm like
it just made sense at the time
the construction standards aren't great a foot works
yeah
we had this guy you say what you want about the 249
we had this guy face not like face from the A team
on his Texas ID he looked like leather face
he's the ugliest motherfucker you ever meet but I love face his name this guy face not like face from the a team on his texas id he looked like leather face he's the ugliest motherfucker ever but i love face his name is james haynes
leather face from texas i'm telling you he's awesome dude and he took his gangster grip for
his saw and put it on the side like a tommy gun and then fucking wolf hooked it to his shoulder
and that dude hip fired like a g dude face was the shit i loved face man he was good dude everybody
either has like on the 249 everybody either like, a horror story or they loved it.
There's no in-between.
And I think it all, like, from what I've heard, it all depends on your armor.
Yeah.
Like, whoever took care of it.
Like, if you replaced the springs, you replaced everything, like, it ran great.
But if you just fucking let it ride for 20,000 rounds, you're fucked.
I had this other saw gunner.
He's part of the reason I'm deaf.
Marlon P. Macoco.
He's a little Filipino kid.
Best. I can tell him, hey, Corpor corporal you're a fucking macoco chew through that
door roger corporal and he wouldn't even fucking question he would just go like best soldier i ever
had man and uh coco he kept that saw like immaculate it doesn't matter if he didn't fire
a single around like you could eat out of that saw it was immaculate and then that little son
of a bitch he cleaned the 50 cal on my truck one day and it was like perfectly clean and i was like coco what are you doing he's like i cleaned the
50 sergeant i was no you don't clean the 50 that way man no what are you doing so i was like washing
your coffee cup yeah you don't fucking do that did you just put flavor dishwasher, you freak?
I had to explain it.
I had to show Makoko, like, no, the.50 fire is better dirty.
Like, the M2, she's better dirty.
So we took it out to the room.
She finds a groove.
Like, it's just a perfect spot.
And that was back in the day where you still had to do the headspace and timing.
Nowadays, it's just shove it in, twist, and it's done.
Wait, for real?
Yeah, they fixed headspace and timing. Nowadays, it's just shove it in, twist, and it's done. Wait, for real? Yeah.
They fixed headspace and timing.
It's the A1 or model.
Still the M2, but it's just the new barrel.
M2, A...
The new...
What the fuck?
Our boys are nodding right now.
It's our shit. We just shove it in
like three clicks to the right. Alright, we're good.
You know that's what we're talking about. It's walk it in,
rotate out, look in the window, good to go.
A lot of you don't know this.
If you would have got a M2, if Civil War would have happened,
you would have found a machine gun out in the battlefield,
but cool, you would not have been able to make that thing run worth a shot.
No, it would be a single-shot piece of shit if it didn't explode.
What the fuck?
I did. It's not working carlos
hathcock figured it out oh you just did a video on that oh yeah did we talk he's got the world
well he had the world record for the longest confirmed kill for a long time with an m2
what was the exact distance it It was 2,500 yards.
2,500, Jesus Christ.
That's the thing.
In my
chats and stuff, they'll ask me,
what is your favorite weapon? If it's not a specific
style of weapon that you're asking for,
it's the M2 heavy barrel.
Every single time, it takes the reliability
of an AK with the accuracy of a
fucking sniper rifle.
It's a bullet hose. I love love it I love everything about mark 19
will jack somebody up a total 19 I have never seen a single all right I'm just
gonna go up on a so please everyone gets tangent time go I've never seen a weapon
system that has more issues than a mark 19 I hit the mark I I could never get
one more than like three shots out of it without having to fucking re-rack it.
LSA on that,
you gotta take care of it.
I put the whale sperm in there
and the shit that they gave,
well,
it's a different type of lubricant.
I don't know what it's called.
Oh, I bet.
They're just like,
put the whale sperm in there.
I'm like,
all right,
I get this fucking tube of grease
and like wiping it around in there.
I don't know what the fuck it's made of.
Because I have seen like people
like sit there
and have to kickstart this thing. Like it's a goddamn motorcycle from the 50s. Yeah the fuck it's made of. Because I have seen people sit there and have to kickstart this thing.
It's a goddamn motorcycle from the 50s.
And I get it's probably the same thing with the saw and whatnot.
If you replace all the shit, you keep it immaculately lubed and whatnot,
and it doesn't have a billion rounds through it.
It's probably okay, but I have seen people have so many fucking problems.
Ours were so unreliable, we took them off our trucks and replaced them with 240s so we had 250 cal trucks and two 240 trucks and i'll let the pig eat i love
the 240 it's a good solid weapon mounted or dismounted i love the two you also can't do
escalation of force with a mark 19 that's true that's there's one
again the generation so we're where the warning shot bounces and hits the guy in the head.
Fire a warning shot.
This is a grenade launcher?
I hate this story.
With the warning shots?
Yeah.
I want to say who.
What? They ran away?
This is 100% true.
Also, Mark19Stores.
Love you, buddy. He had one in round when we were clearing it. The weapon system was
fucking up during clearing.
You don't say. Weird.
Imagine that. And they tried to
demote him until they actually
found out it was the weapon platform
because he's like, hey, this is not fucking
doing.
I just cooked one off in Baghdad and we're
like, uh-oh. No way at all. So they have... Sorry. doing. I just cooked one off in Baghdad and we're like uh oh.
No way though.
So they have
Sorry. The 40 mils
a lot of them have a minimum arming distance.
They don't have a maximum.
Exactly.
That shit landed way up
and then went somewhere. I mean if it landed somewhere soft
just hope a kid doesn't pick it up I guess.
That's just. What?
I mean yeah it's a great hope. I found a it somewhere soft. Just hope a kid doesn't pick it up, I guess. That's just... What? I mean, yeah, it's a great hope.
I found a golden goose egg.
I'm sorry.
Some of those kids got really good at the mining.
The ones who didn't, well...
They were hopping around, yeah.
Darwin.
Mark it on the FBZ, too.
Playing Minesweeper as a child in America.
How the fuck do I play this game on my dad's computer?
Playing it in a different country.
Whole different experience.
I tell you right now, so we live right next to a minefield in Afghanistan.
Like, literally, you go out the gate of my cop and, like, 100 yards away, minefield starts.
We didn't know it was there.
The 82nd, who we ripped out with, like, didn't tell us it was there until we were driving one day through this big open area.
What's that?
Where is this?
Malajat, Afghanistan.
Oh, okay, got it.
Chicago.
And Chicago.
No, and we didn't know it was there
until like we were driving along
and I looked out the window
and I saw the red side of about four rocks.
That's how they marked them there.
The little Afghans will take a rock,
they'll paint one side red, one side white,
and they're like, okay, don't go on the red side.
And we were on the red side.
So that's how we figured out it was there.
And I saw, I met go on the red side. And we were on the red side. So that's when we figured out it was there. Jesus Christ.
I saw, I met, like, in that minefield.
That's the reason why Burma's never won the Olympics for soccer.
That's it.
Jesus Christ.
Fuck.
And, like, that were canceled.
That was the one.
Yeah, that was the one.
I like Nick gets this look in his face.
Good.
Sorry, I just think of things and I say them.
I met two Afghans out by that minefield.
One of them was a straight-up American capitalist.
I would have imported that man into the United States and made him a citizen.
We kept on hearing explosions two or three times a day.
We're like, what the fuck?
We go way out there.
There's a road that you can get through the minefield and on the far side there's some
dude digging in the mountain and he would like dig as far as he could and then go dig up a landmine
put it in there and shoot it until it exploded to get further he was pulling gems and shit i think
that's called stimulating the local economy i couldn't even be mad at this guy i was like uh
don't dig in the minefield?
Like, no one knew what the fuck we were supposed to tell this dude.
And the other one, we saw this guy on the raid camera.
He was out there, like, digging around, like, looking for a landmine.
We're like, all right, let's go talk to this dude, figure out what he's looking for. What do you say, raid camera?
So there's a camera on a giant pole that sticks up, like, 50, 60 feet in the air.
And you can, like, zoom in anywhere around your cop.
Yeah, we call them raid cameras. Yeah. And you can like zoom in anywhere around your cop. Yeah.
We call them cameras.
Yeah.
And so saw this guy cruise on out there.
We're like, hey, man, what are you doing?
And to this day, I don't know what the disagreement was, but he was like, you know, I do not like my neighbor.
So I take, let mine put it in front of his house.
Like that's what you're like.
It was fucking perfect sense.
Carry on
What are you doing?
I had no idea what the fuck to do
Let him go
In the United States
You could not waterboard that out of somebody
He was just like
I got no problem with you, my neighbor
Fuck that guy
They are so like that though 100% He was just like, I got no problem with you. My neighbor, fuck that guy.
They are still like that, though. Yeah, that's the...
Oh, 100%.
That is...
Death is no big deal over there.
It's strange, man.
I had a...
I don't know how much I should say about this,
but somebody that I used to know back in the day,
like, he had sent a video at some point where...
He was Lebanese.
Okay.
And he had sent a video of him firing a PKM
into his neighboring
village jesus just somebody i had talked to because i was curious about you know culture
and things they had certain like weapon systems that like we don't have access to or you've told
this story yeah and i was just like oh okay so it's a guy that i was talking to he's like yeah
this is a video of me shooting a pkm into my neighboring village where like i'm like oh god
you're serious and i'm like what what the fuck happened there and
he's like oh no it's all good uh after we did this uh they shot back at us we shot back at them
and then uh they decided to declare peace by offering our village another pkm this was all
over a goat yeah and they were just like they should shook the elders shook hands and it was
done like wow that's it's, that part of the world,
man, is so just fucking strange.
Like, the way they are about just murdering
each other. You know, I don't know if you've ever...
It's how, I mean,
ancient civilization used to handle it.
But it's like ancient civilizations
found alien technology.
Yeah.
I mean, it is dope.
Dude, it's, that part of the world is just so like
people like you know well why do they want to kill each other i fucking different tribe different
hairstyle slightly browner i'd like pick your fucking poison man like they just want to kill
each other you're part of this i'm part of this like there was these people that rolled through
by the way uh eli you were infantry actually you were infantry as well. Has anyone ever properly taught you how to breach and clear a tent?
It's because there's no fucking doctor, by the way.
Yeah, no.
What's that?
Mark 19.
I was going to say, flashbang through the opening, see where the bodies are.
I was a 10th Sergeant, Section Sergeant.
I ain't getting out of the truck.
I say, private, clear that tent.
That's how I clear it.
I just, so, because there's these, there's nomads.
You see the silhouette of an AK from the flashbang.
Like, that's the one.
But, no, so there was these, they're nomads, and they live in Afghanistan.
They're literally called Koochies.
That's a real thing.
I'm not making that up.
Not making fun of a culture.
They're called Koochies.
And they, there was an American that was was pulling security kneeled next to a power box
and uh the power box blew up it was full of uh tongue or like metal balls ball bearings and it
killed him took his head right off right you know sorry for that guy like that was that was fucked
up it's war and then like a week later we found some little kid playing with ball bearings and
we're like hey there little guy where did you get those and he's like my dad has a whole bunch of them where's your dad live at right so he's like and it was one of the coochies
living there in a little nomad village and like we we didn't know how to breach and clear a tent
so we like all got on one side and like took knives and like cut it open and like peeked inside
fucking like we didn't know what to do
the most horror movie way possible
we cut open the tent
why are you trying knocking
you ever tried to knock on a tent
I am so glad these kids of
crossfire finally come in home
they're just playing crossfire
well yeah we get
Americans cutting open a tent,
scaring the shit out of them.
But we found like a big old bag of ball bearings there,
like two or 300 of them.
And then we found some like IED,
like wire making and stuff material.
And we're just like,
yep,
this is the guy.
So like we hauled him off and next day,
Coochie village gone.
Like the tents were just packed up and they're like,
fuck this place.
And they rolled out.
Like they just left.
Yeah.
Nomad people.
That's literally what they'll do.
Yeah. It was wild, man. And they rolled out. Like, they just left. Nomad people. That's literally what they'll do. Yeah.
It was wild, man.
God damn.
Yeah.
It sucks to be a gypsy in a place we don't like.
With the Carlos Hathcock shot.
Oh, fuck.
I forgot.
We went on tangents.
Sorry.
It's fine.
We're going to get back in.
Carlos Hathcock has 93 confirmed kills, like 400 probables.
But he had this ridiculous standard because this was, was like the first scout sniper platoon in combat so he had uh he had it had to be witnessed by his commanding officer
for it to count as a confirmed kill so that's why he has as many as he does all of his because like
one of his homies was his command yeah so like he was best friends with jim land the guy that
was the first scout sniper instructor in 1960 or 1961 and he would go out on missions
with him so his only confirmed kills are from when he was on missions with jim land or when he was on
overwatch duty on hill 55 which he did a lot of a lot of and he the the vietcong would always just
operate at night and the marines could go out they could take anywhere in vietnam they could take it
over the problem was the vietcong just didn't give a shit about high ground they were just trying to move move logistically
so they would just like cool you guys take the hill we're gonna go through this low part at night
and whatever and uh over time hill 55 was a lot deadlier to people passing by because they had
snipers and they're like okay well we'll just stay extra far away so they didn't have any guns with
enough ass to reach out far enough so car Carlos Hathcock got some CBs.
It was like, hey, make a mount for my scope off my Winchester Model 70, and I'll just slap it onto a.50 cal, and then I'll just have to re-zero my gun every time I'm on Overwatch duty.
I love that he started with, fuck, I need a couple engineers.
Yeah, I need a couple of construction workers.
So he mounts his scope to the.50 cal, and every time he does, he re-zeros it on the same rock.
He's got this big-ass rock 2,500 yards out, and that's the rock that he zeroes it on.
And he said he recorded, like, three kills around the same distance, but the one that was, like, seen by a commanding officer, the first one, he's on Overwatch duty.
And a Viet Cong scout is whatever, and Carlos is following him, and he's, overwatch duty and a viet kong scout is whatever and carlos is following him and he's like
waiting is the max distance it's all the way out there so it's on that rock i did the math
ballistically even if he aims perfect it's anywhere within a six foot circle so like he can only get
it so accurate and then he's got to let jesus take the wheel on that he's gonna get so close
with the best conditions on that weapon correct yeah
best ammo like yeah your best case scenario even then there's a degree of luck but he at least
figured with the weapon at least i can get him to fuck off if they're trying to and that's not
full auto that is like boom yeah single fire bump like you're not okay one of those is gonna hit
right like it's yeah you gotta be dialed So this scout is walking along and Carlos is following him, waiting until he gets close enough just to get it close enough to scare the guy off because he's trying to get eyes on him.
And he's watching him.
He's watching him.
This poor fucking dude decides it'd be a really good spot to stop and pull out the binoculars on top of the rock that he zeroes the gun on every day
and he calls the commanding officer i was like come here you see the big rock
which one the one with all the bullet marks on it oh shit launches it i also did the math it
would have been like 3.2 seconds yep Yep. Three seconds after you fire a bullet.
It's fucking forever.
It's a long time.
It's enough time for you to tell yourself, I missed.
No, I didn't.
Yes, I did.
For sure.
So he fires and he's like, I missed.
And this Viet Cong guy, right when he fires it, the Viet Cong dude stands up.
And as soon as he stands up, catches it right in the side of the head.
Oh, forever away.
Dude, that guy was looking at binos, which is even
better because he would have seen a flash and be like,
huh, that's weird.
I wonder what he did. He stood up and caught it.
And just gone. You know, like, the
second, like, he was deleted
in reality and then just appeared
in the afterlife and the guys
at the pearly gates were just laughing. It like a tiktok thing i wonder what's
because we need in my in my video i had fluck do an edit the edit is an outfielder in baseball
running and jumping and catching a ball as it's like going into the stands, but his mitt is a Viet Cong guy.
It does take shooting at, I think, 2,000 yards the longest I've shot anything.
When you hit steal at that time, it is a five to six second delay from pull of the trigger, watch round go out, wait, hear the ting.
When I was an SVM.
To be fair, that's not the distance it that's
not the time it takes for the bullet to hit that's the time it takes for you to hear because
obviously like light travels way faster than sound and it's like crazy to get confirmation
like audibly it's you just sit there and you're like did i hit it i don't know and you're like
waiting yeah because when i went through the designated marksman course i only reached out
to a thousand i only reached out to a thousand. I only reached out to a thousand, but it's, I mean, you squeeze that trigger.
You, you like, did it move?
Like, I mean, because I only had a 10 power Leopold
Mark IV. Like, I couldn't fucking, a thousand yards
is like, wait. A thousand with 10 powers. Yeah, like
he did this with eight power. Oh, fuck
me. Dude, that's like
I don't even, that's like shooting
one of the grains out of a whole bay at a hundred
yards away. And it's a butterfly trigger.
And that is not the most you're like...
Little mushy.
Yeah, little mushy. You don't know where the break is.
It's a machine gun trigger.
You're talking about 8-power. You just went from a 6-foot
variable to a lot bigger.
Yeah, dude. I imagine
though, with that 8-power, he could probably see
fucking bullet trace there, which the first time I saw bullet
trace, it's so wild to me.
You can see, it's like the Matrix. You see it go up so i bet like in that eight power if there was
any wind or anything i mean it's a 50 cal so the wind's probably not gonna affect it i mean at that
range yeah it will but like i bet he watched that round come up and like just slowly come back down
until old boy's grape got popped like that's fucking beautiful and he just hit side of
if he would if he wouldn't have stood up, he would have been fine.
Would have went right over the top of him.
I would love to see it recreated.
I'm doing it.
Yeah, I know.
I recreated it through the scope shot to prove that that was possible.
And then we're going to recreate the 50 cal shot.
We don't even need to because nobody, that's like the one thing he did that nobody disputes.
It's still a gang shot.
We're still going to do it just to see if we can.
I want to see what the bullet does at 2000 yards,
like a 50 Cal with that much energy.
Apparently enough.
Oh yeah.
A hundred percent.
It's enough.
That is a large,
large round.
When you're going up heavier,
it's a little more right.
Brandon little heavier.
I know when we did the shot for 2000 yards,
it was 300 rum.
We could have done a 338 Lapua, but 300 rum was a little more fascinating.
Yeah, Remington Ultramag.
Okay.
Oh, got it, got it.
Yeah.
It was a little more.
It's a more difficult shot because it is a smaller round technically versus 338.
The wind and everything affects the bullet less.
I want to say 50 BMG is lethal out to like some stupid distance.
It's like lethal to three miles or something like that.
3.5.
There's,
there's a certain like metric you use for amount of energy delivered on
target at a certain range that like is still determined as lethal.
According to us military standards.
You guys think that even if it was at four miles,
the 50 BMG bullets heavy enough,
I wouldn't want somebody to overhand it at me.
Yeah, I guess.
It would still fucking hurt.
You know what I'm saying?
It would just wane into that.
Like, that's soft.
700 grains of your bitch.
Like, it's a heavy-ass round.
Well, I mean, that new one, the new world record, I guess, supposedly out of Ukraine.
There's no video of it.
They're confirming it themselves. It's like some crazy ungodly's like i want to say it's like 2.3 miles but
he did it with a 20 millimeter anti-fucking light armored like gun and i have no idea what kind of
like he was using anything like that like those those modified cords they're using or what i have
no idea cord i think would either be 12 i think it's 12 7 with
okay you have one of those there's a picture you probably look it up like the whatever gun he used
he's like posing with it it's massive and they're like yeah it's 20 millimeters like it's for anti
light armor and he was just fucking popping russian grapes at just crazy distances however
that's when you know when you're in ukraine and doing stuff like that like we broke a record like that it's probably one of those uh fucking like the the ghost of kiev kind of things
well god knows like what the accuracy is but here's the thing too if i had a 20 mil 20 millimeter and
i'm looking out there and i see just a group of russians my error of like my margin of error is
pretty low and i can just like... Were you aiming at that one?
Yeah.
When you got 15 dudes on top of a BTR.
I can see that.
We're not playing pool.
You're not calling your shots.
That's not the bullet with your name on it.
It's more like to whom it may concern.
I think what we were going to talk about earlier is some of the online misinformation stuff.
I literally was just looking at disinformation.
You pissing off everybody left and right and center.
Good.
I enjoy it.
I actually have it on my phone.
My old boss, Major Adam Craft, he lives here in Texas. I actually have it on my phone.
My old boss, Major Adam Craft, he lives here in Texas. He wrote me and he said that Putin authorized the sanctioning of Ukrainian bloggers,
meaning he's authorizing killing Ukrainian bloggers who are helping raise money for Ukraine.
I'm thinking like, wait, I'm your Huckleberry.
Who's nice?
I think.
Didn't they just.
Hold on.
I can have that feeling again and not go to jail?
Typical sick guy.
Didn't Russia just convict a gymnast or an ice skater of high treason for donating money to Ukraine?
Yeah, it was like $56.70.
Convicted over high treason?
Yeah.
Holy shit.
What do you want to know about disinformation?
I'm pretty good with that.
I just think it's interesting how, I guess, because I saw you did a video where there was a twitter account that was you
taking down misinformation of a bot like how do you i guess how do you initially determine a target
like when you're scrolling your feed on instagram or twitter x whatever the fuck you want to call it
and you're like ah that doesn't seem right what's the process of going from like seeing something
strange to proving it it it really it a lot of
it depends so uh so a lot of it's the same as is targeting like when you're when you're doing
when you're you're finding a bad guy right um i i found bad guys before and then i give that
information my client and my client you know does whatever with that information. But typically what I look for is I look for stuff that it's hard to put.
It doesn't smell right.
And usually people will send me information or they're consistently lying
or consistently filling a Russian narrative.
So once I discover that, the next thing I do is I take down, like,
all their tweets or all their posts.
And the next thing I do is I develop what's called pattern of life.
Now, typically, this is what we use to kill people.
So, like, I can figure out when you wake up, when you go to work, when you eat lunch, when you come home, when you make lunches for your kids, when you go to bed, I might know. I can even theoretically know what room you're in.
I can use a, well, I wouldn't do it.
That's a weapon-earing thing.
But I might use a tail or a bomb just to hit that one room that doesn't destroy the entire house.
So after I developed Proof of Life, it's fascinating.
You know, what blows my mind is people go to the same places every single freaking day.
They go to the same places every day.
You wake up, you go to work, you stop at the gas station, you come home.
Luckily, we don't.
No, apparently you don't.
But most people, they do the same thing every day.
They wake up, go to the gym, go to work, go home, go to the grocery store.
So you develop a pattern of life.
And from that pattern of life, you can go, okay, typically this person is online between this hour and this hour. They fall offline at this hour. Okay, this is when
they're at lunch. So you can develop a pattern and then you can actually take that pattern and go,
okay, where does this pattern fall into play with a typical eight hour workday? Okay, it's in
Belarus. Okay, so this is where this person is. So then there's other tools that i can use and one of the tools is if there's an email address one of the ways to to grab information is to look at
records of when people have updated their antivirus interesting yeah huh yeah you can say
okay so damn it mcafee has this email address this email address been used in an update of antivirus?
Okay, yes.
Okay, what computer are they using?
Oh, that's interesting.
What is their keyboard language?
Oh, it's Cyrillic.
That's interesting.
Yeah, Cyrillic is a word.
What's that?
I'm sorry.
Russian.
Oh, okay, thank you.
I appreciate it.
It's okay.
It's that little packet in the beef jerky.
Don't eat it.
Don't eat it.
That's the best part.
Honey, don't eat the cerulean.
So, yeah, basically, yeah, that's just one of the ways.
There's other ways.
Like, I found this one dude.
This dude claimed.
It's over, mother.
I hate the Ukrainian system. there's other ways like i found this one dude this dude claimed it's over mother i hate the ukraine so this one dude claimed that israeli snipers were shooting palestinian kids in
the head all right now israeli snipers use 338 lapua i'm sure oh for the most part is that like
a like i i don't know 338 lapua 308 but know what a.338 Lapua does to a human body, right?
Yes.
At least you can imagine, right?
So no one's bringing their kid in with a little hole in their head going,
oh, my son was shot by an Israeli sniper.
This one doctor claimed that, that he went to Gaza and he evaluated,
and he wrote an op-ed about it.
And I read the op-ed and I'm like, that's weird.
He said he got a headache from the drones overhead
that's weird you know you these drones are flying way higher than you can actually you know here
maybe depending on the kind of drone but usually the drones fly too high for you to actually hear
them that's why they're you know that's why they're they're stealthy so it's kind of like
those like facebook posts where they have like a full intact five, five, six cartridge with a fucking AR 15 round hit my house.
Yeah.
Well,
I mean,
no,
remember if it hits your ear,
it'll take your head off.
So,
uh,
there was just a number of inaccuracies with these stories.
And,
uh,
so I said,
all right,
I knew who was the name of this doctor. And I knew and I knew that he had a practice in three places in Virginia.
So I went and I bought his cell phone milk data, his advertising data.
When you go into a supermarket, your phone is connecting with the Wi-Fi.
And that's why when you go to the checkout counter, you get an ad for Rao's pasta sauce.
Because you were standing in front of the pasta sauce aisle for 10 seconds.
And the store knows how long you're standing in front of that pasta sauce aisle.
So it'll send you a coupon.
So I'm like, man, I'm scared.
Everyone just got scared.
Everyone's like, that's why I turn all my shit off.
You're married, right?
Yes.
You're married.
So have you ever said to your wife, like, hey, we should go to Italy.
Oh, I know that time.
Yeah.
And then you go to the bathroom and you come back and you look at your phone and you're
like, oh, wow, there's ads for Italy.
My phone's listening to me.
No.
Your wife Googled trips to Italy.
And your home router knows that your two phones are switched.
So that's why I get so many anti-Semitic memes.
Damn her. And bus plug ads. Your two phones so that's why I get so many anti-semitic memes Oh, my God. Oh, God. This is from Austin.
We got Dotson here.
Garnt just yelled, you're out of the pocket with Ian Jones right now.
So then.
Oh, my God.
Hold on.
Hold on.
How does one buy cell phone data?
That was the same thing.
Because I was under the impression that you could do that, but I thought you bought it
in large batches.
You buy advertising data.
Yeah, you buy in large batches,
and you get it as different formats.
You can put it into a spreadsheet.
Are you just getting lucky, though?
Oh, no, no.
So I know what this guy, I know where his three offices are,
and so I just filter the spreadsheet
until I find a phone that consistently is at those three particular offices.
How do you buy a batch that you know is going to contain his information?
So you buy it for all Virginia
for a certain...
It costs...
I think this one costs me
$13,000.
But I really love
my job. Even during
the campaign, you know, just to geolocate
certain data. We would go for
registered voters within District 23.
And that's just how to be smart about it.
Not to spend large swaths of money.
You want to be as strategic as possible, especially with a smaller campaign like mine.
We couldn't afford to go like, oh, let's market predominantly on mainstream TV.
It's like, no, we want registered Republican voters within this geolocation area.
You guys make me feel bad.
You're doing it to catch bad guys.
You're trying to win an election.
I just do it to sell T-shirts.
I literally make dick and fart jokes as plain.
So I'm right there with you, man.
In this particular case, I figured out where this guy uh where this guy's three um three uh
offices were what cell phone was pinging from that from that i figured out where the guy lived
and from that i can see like all right uh this cell phone never went to iaw it never went to
dulles it never showed up at norc which are the two places you would fly out if you're going to
go to egypt which eventually go to gaza never showed up in cairo never showed up in rafa never showed up in conunis this guy lied
he was never in gaza he's never in gaza you're doing fucking god's work out here man i so this
is the thing and i i recently that's crazy well i recently explained to i will find you the army
so i was trying to explain to the Army National Guard,
and this is the analogy I use,
like the power of social media.
Like this is why he's doing amazing work
because so 23 years ago, September 11th, 2001,
the United States suffered the worst terrorist attack
in world history, like world history,
not just American history, fucking world history, okay?
Now here we are 23 years later
and we have people running around outside of colleges
praising terrorism.
It's because Hamas has a better propaganda campaign on social media than the fucking
IDF does.
Like it's a weapon system.
And it costs less.
Yeah.
Hold on.
TikTok is a weapon system.
Do you have any thoughts on, I just think it's crazy looking at politics because it's like generally speaking up until like the 90s i would say fuck communism's been a pretty american sentiment across the board
left and right and then like 2000s it kind of turned into more of a right-leaning thing
of hating calling barack obama a communist like bashing on communism all the time
but now for whatever i'm obviously social media but like republicans seem to be the one that
sympathize most with russia and democrats seem to be the ones that to peel that back a little bit
i don't think that's true at all an allegory okay an allegory that my dad used to to say was like
in the 1980s with him going to school he had like a very left okay an allegory that my dad used to to say was like in the 1980s
with him going to school he had like a very left-leaning english teacher and he used to wear
a shirt like of course this is like after 1984 red dawn came out and he had a shirt that had
like the fucking wolverines thing it said better dead than red and his english teacher hated him
for it like she was a very anti-regan anti-everything like very it's like i feel like this
has been a dichotomy within the United States for a while,
even if it was a little more subversive than now.
So I'm going to say I'm friends with Sebastian Gorka.
He was Trump's former.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
He's a friend of mine, too.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, Seb.
So I text him every once in a while.
I've been on his show a couple of times.
Yeah.
And we both work at Newsmax together.
Really?
Yeah.
What do you do at Newsmax?
I'm an Intel guy.
I do commentary.
How many missiles did I ran out?
I ran out 2,500 missiles.
I mean, it's a living, right?
It's way smarter than me.
Yeah. He's way smarter than me. So one of the things that President Trump did was President Trump was the first president to send lethal aid to Ukraine, javelin missiles, which helped win the Battle of Kiev.
And President Trump had the foresight to know that Russia, I don't want to say Russia wasn't a threat, but Russia wasn't the threat that the West was making it out to be.
We can give lethal aid to the Ukrainians.
President Obama gave blankets and night vision goggles.
That's fine.
Night vision goggles are very useful.
Blankets, I like being warm.
But President Trump gave lethal aid.
Now, when you talk about—
What year was this?
This was—I'm trying to remember. lethal aid now when you talk about what year was this this was uh i try and remember i want to say
2019 i did a video about it but i've also had half this bottle sorry just a little bit more
sorry just to add more i didn't mean necessarily even left-wing and right-wing politicians.
I was just talking about people on social media.
So that's because they're not real.
This is, I think, what we wanted to dig into.
That's because they're not real.
Dead internet theory.
I don't think there's any Republicans running around praising Vladimir Putin.
There might be some Republicans who they don't like the idea of giving Ukraine money when we have problems here.
I get that.
We're really not stuffing C-17s full of pallets of money and parachuting it out over Ukraine.
You mean like we do to Iran?
Well, that's a different story.
Do you know the money?
Do you know why we give money to Iran?
Because Iran supplies about one-third of iraq's power and so we take that money and we put it into like a fund
and it's either held by uh turkey or uh because i've been asked this question on newsmax it's
held by either turkey or south korea and then eventually we release those funds yeah yeah hold
on i just i have a pun to make i iraq pay your. This ain't Section 8, motherfucker. We can go into
why does Iraq make their own
power. That is one
thing. They had a thing
that happened over the last 20 years.
They took a big fat L.
Yeah.
So...
I like that simplification
way more. I'm just saying,
I'm sorry, all you chuckle fuck'm just saying, like, I'm sorry.
All you chuckle fucks out there,
and I have a college degree in gender studies and America lost in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Find me a single strategic battle that we lost.
I can come into your house, whoop your ass for 20 years,
and then when I get bored of you hiding in the closet like a bitch
and I leave, you can tell everybody you fucking***ing want to, you little f***ing
Never mind, sorry.
Is it a bit reductive?
Sure. Is it wrong?
No.
We're not
one of the reasons that
when people say, oh, we're giving $56 billion
to Ukraine, really
what we're doing is we're sending them our old stuff.
Well, I'm just tossing a number out there. we're sending them our old stuff well i'm just
tossing them right there we're sending our old stuff right so it's only about four times that
missiles expire right you have to shoot them they cost more money to get rid of
let them shoot them at the russians saves us money we get to build new ones
and there's not enough days on the dude once when we train on the itas
the uh which is the uh what well you're like
trust me i'm just keep going i'm thinking of retention and i'm like yes once once because
i have some questions too to bounce off absolutely so once uh like we were uh i got when we were training the itas which
is the toe system the new toe system uh we're training the itas and this guy from raytheon
gave me his card he said dude let me know when you have gunnery we'll bring you as many missiles
that you want because they they're going to expire we have to get rid of them. And one time, I think we fired 41 missiles.
Jesus.
In eight hours.
How much was that just for you taxpayers out there?
A tow missile cost $60,000.
But they're going to expire anyway, so it was cheaper to shoot them.
Dude, I never thought I would get bored shooting tows.
A tow is a wire gun and an anti-tank missile.
Oh, yeah, I know.
By the end of the day, we're throwing trash cans up in the air.
Pull!
They have an expiration.
It's literally a best-by date.
I mean, it's not.
You ever bought me the H-E-B?
It's the same thing.
I'll translate. You know how on
4th of July at
1pm, all the firework
stands go 75% off.
That's what's going on here.
They just don't want to pack this shit up and wait till next year.
Fun fact about the tow missile.
More pieces of armor apparently
I learned this recently
were destroyed at the Battle of 73
Easting by tow missiles than were by
Abrams. It is hell on a wire.
I have a Bunker Branding t-shirt. The tow fucks.
The tow fucks.
I hate when we, during my war, it was our war.
The AT-4 just weighed a lot.
So we'd shoot those first.
It was like going on missions with them.
They'll just remember these are lighter if you just carry the tube back.
We're like, okay, initiate the ambush with these.
You can usually tell a weapon system is effective when both sides are
co-developing it yeah that's well the russians have the core and they have several like what
i've learned through this whole thing is that russia has lied a lot like they always have but
like i did research on china recently and they just like all of our shit off of wish is what
they have like literally one of their their support helicopters is a blackhawk off of wish
well they were gonna buy it
We're gonna sell them the black no shit. Yeah, and the black hawk. It's a good thing. We don't buy anything from them
Z20 or so yeah
Cheap you know, okay
It's called a tall but five feet to call a shoe out and you do look
a little and you're hispanic right it's the military friend group yeah exactly it's the qz
dash blank it's like something america's already made before it's i mean well that's the thing
so recently they stopped developing next generation air
dominance they're just upgrading the f-22 and people like well why are they doing that the
f-22 is dated and it's like no we're so fucking far ahead that like when we go to war it's like
we're being sent back in time okay like that's just the real realism of it no one can fuck with
us logistically navally like anything there's a reason we call it near pure exactly it's insane like the number one air force is the air force
the number two is the navy and the number four is the uh marine corps marine corps yeah just
i thought i'd throw that out there logistically i have to tell you my chicken sandwich story
from egypt hold on what wait what I want to stay on the bots and people.
That's where we're at.
If a lot of these people
don't exist because they're bots and it's
all misinformation, do you subscribe to
dead internet theory? I don't.
But I would like to start killing people.
Let's talk about that.
Christ. Wow.
We're going to love this. It's going to be
great. Please elaborate. So I just're going to love this. It's going to be great.
Please elaborate.
I wanted to pose the question for those who don't know,
because you pointed out a lot of these accounts
that you think are Russian bots,
and you think a lot of the chatter going on,
especially when it comes to Twitter and things
that are more bot-prone, which I think
they have gotten better recently.
They're basically just
that talk to well at least they don't like try to sell me porn every day uh do they just they
talk back and forth and that just creates fuzz that basically drowns out the real internet of
like humans communicating to each other so basically at this point when people try to like
put something out on the internet are you actually talking to other people?
Or are people largely given up and they're just drowned out by AI?
Sometimes.
Or bots, things like that.
Is that a theory that you subscribe to, if not now, happening very soon?
I don't think it's ever going to happen completely because there's always going to be people posting things like, hey, look what I for lunch right like i just posted a message on twitter saying like hey i was just a bunker
brain i met clint today here's some neat footage so there's always the same time as doing that is
the touring test getting harder i will i think with if i can speak in on this looking at the
development of ai and VFX.
Dude, watching the new AI and then even female bots, chat bots, and how they can interact with guys.
Yeah, it's all men.
Yeah, and it is.
Like, hey, hold up a picture to prove you're real.
They can do that, and you're not going to. So guys are now spending real whore money talking to a computer.
Yes.
Oh, 100%.
I don't think that's that far of a stretch to just change it a little bit.
Dudes are having naughty conversations with like AI Hermione and shit.
There's a lot of weebs in my chat.
Because you get a C, bro.
Dear God.
I'm just saying.
IG, if you know what you're looking for for AI females,
and you can see all these profiles that are like hundreds of thousands of followers.
And if you know what you're looking for, you're like, that's AI.
Majority have no fucking clue it's AI.
I'm like, that is absolutely terrible.
Well, it fills a need, right?
Does it really matter?
No, it doesn't matter.
But if you're learning.
That's a horrifying thing considering the question I asked.
Exactly.
It's just learning.
So you're like, oh, if this is a need, how many other needs
are there and then how can we
weaponize this really quickly?
I was talking with you. How did I know you're real?
I was texting you
when I got your phone number
from
Ethan.
The guy next to me.
The fake one.
That genuinely helps my theory.
I'm getting this bottle.
We got it.
I'm Ryan McBeth, baby.
Let's go.
No, I feel like you should keep going.
We're digging into this now.
Did you ever do the, oh my God, dining out?
Or dining in?
Did you ever do a dining in?
Dining in, dining in.
Yeah, the dining in ceremony where you have the bowl of grog and the-
Oh, yeah.
We have basic training.
Try to keep me away from the grog, baby.
Yeah.
It's a basic training when you finalize the final ruck march for infantry.
That's what we did.
It's the final ruck march.
The only time I've ever had grog is at Army Balls.
And I tell you right now, the grog is-
I went to one Army Ball when I was a white...
What was the Army version of the mat shot?
I don't know what the mat shot is.
It's at the end of the night,
all the drinks that got spilt are fucked up
that collect in the mat.
Oh.
You dump it into a drink.
I mean, kind of.
It's significant.
They're like, for our time in the Philippines,
they put a Philippine whiskey in there.
Oh, yeah. It's cleaner. Yeah, it's slightly cleaner. They're like, for our time in the Philippines, they put like a Philippine whiskey in there. Oh, yeah.
It's cleaner.
Yeah, it's slightly cleaner.
And then,
Slightly?
Yeah, it's,
It's alcohol.
It's not fit for human consumption.
But I mean,
like military balls
are like the best experience of your life
because like the thing,
just get drunk enough
to enjoy the debauchery.
Like I will tell everyone
who's ever been to one,
just get drunk enough
to enjoy the debauchery.
The first one I went to,
there was like a couple of army wives almost got into a fist fight on the dance floor.
We had a sergeant call the cops on himself because he thought he had alcohol poisoning.
We had a retired CW4 pushing through the crowd because his 16-year-old daughter was brought there by one of my soldiers.
I'm telling you, it was so fucking good.
It was just the debauchery was just phenomenal.
If any of you guys out there want to invite us as your dates, we will join.
I would totally do that because I need a date like badly.
You hear that?
And if you watch the conversation earlier that they didn't delete, I might have to go to the mail side.
I don't know.
At least I won't have to change the thermostat.
That's what you're going to do.
Like a fucking thermostat.
Hold on. Have you ever?
No. Hold on.
Hold on.
We wanted to talk about that.
Back to you want to kill people.
Because I know where this is going
and it's funny. Yes, please expand.
So actually, one of the things
I've been talking about since last September
was we need to start kinetically targeting
disinformation actors
so if you are a
based
if you're a
I'm holding the base button right here
potentially
not American
closer
so if you are
if you're a civilian
working in a munitions factory making artillery
rollins for the enemy are you a valid target hell yeah but if you're working in a disinformation
only because you can potentially be killing our guys okay so let's talk about effectors
forget about weapons let's talk about effectors when you about weapons. Let's talk about effectors. When you buy a drill,
do you buy a drill because you want a drill
or do you buy a drill because you want a hole?
Buy a drill because you want a hole, right?
So a drill is a hole effector, right?
It creates the hole.
At what point are we sponsored by Raytheon?
I just...
Shh.
Shh.
He's just like,
shut the fuck up, Raymond.
Some of us play the fuck up to up he used the term effector
that's Northrop Grumman
hold on
Chase played just a random
ad from Raytheon
so you have
let's get that Raytheon money let's go
why do you use a weapon
you don't buy a Tomahawk missile because you want a weapon? You don't buy a Tomahawk missile because you want
a Tomahawk missile. You buy a Tomahawk missile
because you want an effect on a target.
You might want to destroy a bridge.
Now let's say you wanted to deny the enemy
the use of a bridge.
Cool. You might use a
missile or a bomb. You might use
a cyber attack. Have we declared
war on this enemy?
We're already at war. Pause. Just wait.
It gets good. We're getting there.
I'm strapped in. Let's go.
So.
Thank you.
And I'm ready to be gay. Leave the politician
hat off for five seconds.
So.
So.
My fellow Americans. I'm sorry.
Not that kind.
If a foreign bot network tells a bunch of weak minded college students to go shut down this bridge because to support Taiwan and Taiwan has always been Chinese.
And by shutting down this bridge, you are fighting the imperialist, colonialist, capitalist United States of America just wants to use Taiwan for its resources.
That's a weapon as well it is an information weapon and the effect is the same as blowing up the bridge or using a cyber attack on the bridge it is
exactly the same it is a weapon system and these people who launch these weapon
systems need to be targeted and killed a weapon system that we have been using in almost virtually every country
we have fingers in across the planet.
And are we allowed to be targeted
the same way in response?
That's up to their lawyers,
but I'm not aware.
Dude, I just genuinely
want to be a professional. Dude, I just genuinely... One of the best...
Hit it! Hit the base button!
Alright. Best answer!
Sir?
Alright. Aren't you glad you waited?
Yeah, I...
Let him cook!
I... I agree, but god damn. And then, and then you know what i'll do i'll go home i'll crack open a beer i'll order a pizza and i'll
watch the gnats and you know look you don't want goddamn.
You know, look, I obey some good shit.
Last week, last Sunday, I gave a briefing to the Ohio, to a JAG, a judge advocate general continuing education convention in Ohio.
And I laid out my case for this.
And I've been talking about this since September of of last year we need to start killing these people that if we are at war we need to start kinetically targeting
disinformation actors might just target the building might target the data center we might
target these individual people we might use some stuff that's up close and personal just to be
that's what you're hearing i don't He finds you're targeting them for speech.
To be clear.
Well, I'm targeting them for using a weapons system
against the United States.
By weapons system, you mean speech.
Well, it's speech that's inciting
a certain kind of behavior.
So by speech that is inciting
a certain behavior, you mean speech.
Hold on.
Time out.
I think there might be
these people that you're just to clarify the people that you're suggesting targeting
are state-funded actors that are going to a job where they have a factory of
cell phones with 50 000 social media accounts and those those are the targets i'm not targeting
somebody who said not like a shit poster,
I was a poopy head.
If you want to be a...
The only differentiation
between those two things
is whether or not the person
has the IQ to know
what they're talking about.
No, the difference is
that it's state-funded.
State-funded and has access to...
It's a state-funded weapon system.
Look, so I'll go even further on that.
Oh, man.
Do I need to move? Do I need to move?
Do I need to move?
I like it.
I'm right in between.
Let's go.
We were just talking about a military industrial complex or whatever fucking, like, you know,
redacted-esque company funding these things.
So if you're talking about America, the military industrial complex doesn't exist.
Well, Eisenhower disagrees.
Well, you know who else said words in 1963?
Governor Wallace, right?
Who said, like, oh, black people can't go to school here.
Well, that was also a problem.
Yes.
But just Charlton's team to get...
What the fuck?
Trump.
Eisenhower. Eisenhower was right in 1970, 1963.
However, by 1993, there was this event.
It was called the Last Supper.
You're right.
Jurassic Park.
The Last Supper.
The Last Supper.
Essentially, all of the top 15 defense contractors were brought into a room in the Pentagon, and they were told, listen, we don't have enough money to pay you all. So you need to start merging or you
need to figure out how to cut costs and shut down. Is that how Grumman became Northrop Grumman?
That's how Grumman became Northrop Grumman. That's how Lockheed became Lockheed Martin. That's how
Raytheon bought up ATK, all these other companies. Oh, it's RTX now. It's not Raytheon.
The military industrial complex ceased to be a problem
after the 90s.
They did. Honestly, so, listen.
Take a wild guess. How much money...
This has gotten off the fucking rails
in the last 10 minutes.
I did a whole video about this. You do not want to
contest me on this.
All that shit I said
about no monopolies, that was wrong.
Undo it now.
Take a wild guess. The top five defense...
I find this very intellectually stimulating.
Ethan's like, can I sit here?
I kind of want to swap, man.
No.
Oh, shit. Alright.
The top...
Just in case they start swinging.
The top five defense contractors.
Take a wild guess how much money they made.
Oh, okay.
Take a wild guess how much money they made.
Top five.
Top five of defense contractors.
Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, RTX.
Over what time period?
Last year, in 2023.
$600 billion.
No, $200 billion.
That's pretty low.
2023.
Top five.
All of them? Less than directly less 2023. Top five. All of them?
Less than directly less.
The top five.
Less than $20 billion.
I think I remember reading Lockheed Martin makes like fucking, I want to say like $2 million a second.
I would say.
Dude, it's nuts.
Okay.
13 point.
I want to say 13.6 billion.
That was pretty cool.
Less than 20.
13.6 billion.
Do you know how much money Procter & Gamble makes made in 2023?
Who's Procter & Gamble?
Procter & Gamble.
They make deodorant.
They make everything.
When they make money, brown people don't die.
Directly.
They can choke.
Procter & Gamble's a gaming company.
So Procter & Gamble made $14 billion last year. So Procter & Gamble's a gaming company. So Procter & Gamble made
$14 billion last year.
So Procter & Gamble makes
more money
than top five defense companies.
Now explain to me. Now, did they do that
in 2011?
I did not grab
the data for that, but
I wonder why.
Look, where are these peaks?
Yeah, let's look at peaks and valleys.
I can tell you this.
Do you personally... Well, maybe not
you. Do you personally know anybody who works
for a defense contractor? Yes.
Okay. Well, you work in firearms.
I'm a mulligan. I get it. Yeah.
But for most of us,
name a single person.
Name a single person.
A single person. Steve a single person. A single person.
Steve.
Who works.
Okay.
Steve doesn't care.
Steve's an asshole.
You just say it right in there.
Name a single person that works for a defense contract.
Steve Miller.
White man.
So essentially what I'm trying to say is that companies like, I think it was Apple that made $97 billion in 2023.
They don't even hold a candle.
So if you're a congressman and you have Apple in your office and you have a guy from Lockheed Martin in your office and they both have a briefcase full of money, who are you inviting in first?
Well, I can promise you, as somebody who's seen the inside of that game, which one shows up with the suitcase.
One of them organically has the money.
So, for the most part, Steve shows up a lot of the time.
Steve's a fucking dick and he lives there.
Was your counter argument to their no longer existing military industrial complex So when you compare it to, I think it's the S&P 500.
I think that RTX is like number 55.
So basically the whole idea behind the military industrial complex is that the government is buying planes and tanks and ships that it can't really afford or we don't need, but we're buying them anyway.
And we're doing it because they apparently expire.
Well, missiles expire.
They do.
The missiles expire.
If you disagree, Dick Daniels will shoot you in the fucking face.
It's the truth.
This M22
is expired. We need to pick it up right now.
Sorry, we're in the lightning round now.
We're just fucking around.
But the deal is that
when you look at these companies
and how much money they make, they don't really make
any money.
At least compared to other 11 billion at least compared
to other companies mcdonald's procter and gamble only the top companies on the planet do you own
any stock in lockheed martin any of the top five defense i was one of the only congressman that
was ever going to take office without owning stock okay because i'm gonna go to anybody here
at this table does anybody here own a defense contractor stock? No, because I'm going to heaven.
No, you don't, because they don't
make any money.
What do you own?
They just made a lot of money last month.
Does anybody here at the table own a 401k?
Or have a 401k?
There you go.
The one who owns defense contracting.
So, essentially, you don't invest
in defense contractors. I do. I work for a defense contractor. I work for the Texas Air Force. So, essentially, you don't invest in defense contractors.
I do.
I work for a defense contractor.
I work for the Texas Air Force. So nobody has any stock in Boeing?
I don't have any stock in Boeing.
I might have an index fund.
Boeing's kind of having a rough time.
As soon as I found out that...
Lockheed and Martin made a good chunk last month.
As good as Apple?
This is...
I think...
This is nothing.
Lockheed and Martin, like, tripled their...
Let me talk. Have you ever tried to sell
a gun to, like, the state
or to a state organization or something
like that? They wouldn't pass the background
check.
Alright, so, look.
When I worked at the Texas
Aramid Lab, it's a company that uses
AI-powered drones to...
Yeah, that's a big fucking...
That's in six months.
That was a month ago.
A lot of stocks went up.
That was literally during the assassination of President Trump.
That is what...
No.
When Biden...
It was the assassination or when Biden...
The Iranian?
No, Biden stepped down.
That was one of those two things that we see in that giant...
Oh, no, excuse me.
So, have they released their profits for the quarter?
Because that's where you got to look at.
Well, last quarter.
That's a question for Brandon.
Because I know that you're very against the speech thing,
targeting government-funded agents about speech.
Just playing devil's advocate.
Sure.
Let's go for it.
Let's explore.
Not generally.
The line for freedom of speech is a call to action for violence against other people.
So if state-funded actors are promoting violence against other people, does that change your thought process?
In order for that to be true in regards to international diplomacy or different things overseas, you would have to also accept the fact that us calling for action within the UK riots would be grounds for the United or the United Kingdom police to come extradite
US citizens, just like they're talking about doing.
Not US citizens.
I'm talking about like state funded agents going to work for eight hours a day running
a bot farm.
Convincing Americans to try and do sketchy shit.
What I think is that the, and this is what I think for most of social media, to be honest,
like, and this is a very this is a very nuanced topic.
I don't think that any of the laws have been written or any of the rulings that have been made about the laws that are on the books have considered the ramifications behind what has happened in the last five, ten years.
That's fair.
That's fair.
I feel like there's no actual legal precedent behind it.
We've not found the line.
Do you agree with that?
We haven't found the line of when you can kinetically target someone.
Because we're trying to figure it out now.
That was it.
Macbeth is over here like, I can do it right now, actually.
What do you think I was doing on the plane's Wi-Fi on the way here?
That wasn't exactly what I said, but it's close.
Look, you know, look, I just find them. I just find him
I don't do the weapon earring and you know
When you're by human I know
The fedora is getting more and more menacing
You thought it was Ryan McBeth.
This is El Chopper.
Am I an Iron Dome target if I say it was 5.9 million?
You boys ever played
shuffleboard with a mine?
We're gonna figure it out.
I'm just bringing it up that it's a problem.
And we need to start thinking about this because I guarantee you
that the day China decides to invade Taiwan,
it's probably going to be in 2027.
We've got three years before this happens.
I'll take all my fucking AMD stocks out.
The day China decides to do that, I guarantee you the next thing that's going to happen is China is going to wage an information warfare campaign over the internet and say to young, impressionable college students, go to the nearest naval base and glue yourself to the ship for China because Taiwan is being influenced by the capitalist imperialist colonists every
time someone says china i think it was that video donald trump don't listen to china china
i don't think you're wrong i really like so like let me just like i know i've kind of played
ironically let's kill people together i'm getting there i'm getting there That's the opener of the fucking thing right there Let's kill people That's the shortest intro ever
A rainbow
Let's kill people together
They're like man that intro beat was only one second
The more you know
Fucking Christ
I don't think you're wrong on that
I'm stone cold sober
As he pours more whiskey I don't think you're wrong on that I'm stone cold sober I don't believe you
there are definitely ramifications that will come to this stuff
but I don't necessarily think you're wrong
and that will be the best way
that is going to be an angle that they use
to target
we can't take it to court
and figure out what's right and wrong
until somebody at least does it once.
What I think is like... Canada, we need you to do Canada things again.
This scandal is what Nick's saying.
Look, Canada and Poland are both itching for some war crimes.
So I say we just put them in the chute,
let them figure it the fuck out.
Oh my God.
We've been...
Rangers lead the way for the last 25 years.
Go ahead.
We'll just slide you guys some missiles.
They're about to expire.
Give you a f***ing bear
and let you do that.
I mean, I wonder what happened
to the other Moabs that were expiring, to be honest.
Have you seen like the
Communist Party that was marching through Philadelphia
and then the new Communist Party
released like a propaganda
video to announce the new Communist Party?
They look so fucking gay.
Bro, did you find out why they're... There's been a Communist Party in
America since like 1906 or some shit.
Do you know why they had to launch the new
Communist Party? You're never
going to guess. Oh god, this is going to be good.
Is it branding? Merchandising?
In their mission
statement, they said that they had to start the new
Communist Party because the old Communist Party was too corrupt. in their mission statement they said that they had to start the new communist party
because the old communist party was too corrupt
and then in their propaganda video they've got like all this badass like blue collar like very
soviet era work together bullshit they've got like a welder welding on a pipe and they've got
whatever whatever and then they've got a fucking harvester you know like a combine except it's white and it's got the new communist logo on the side except it's not harvesting
anything so even in their commercials where they don't have great food you motherfuckers still
can't even imagine feeding people it's incredible i think it's great that also like fake communism
in a capitalist country didn't even work so they had to come up with new communism.
Fuck.
They didn't even have any power yet.
I was watching it.
I love watching debates.
And I was watching this, like, super hardcore, legitimate pro-communist guy just debate with somebody that read a book.
No.
And he brought up from you he brought up china and he's like i don't like communism
because mao zedong killed 40 to 80 million people and the dude's like well yeah there was some death
during the revolutionary phase but you know after after the revolutionary phase china actually saw
the biggest rise in the standard of living. Thanks to
Steve Jobs. Anywhere else in the world
has... No, fuck that. The breadline
got 80 million motherfuckers
shorter, Brandon. It's obvious
why nobody was hungry anymore.
What do you mean?
I didn't realize that we could just kill the week
and be like, oh, fuck, the problem's solved.
Now everybody's happier. After the
10% culling, an American comes along like, hey, I need people to build an iPhone. You're like, hey, fuck, the problem's solved. Now everybody's happier. After the 10% culling,
an American comes along like,
hey, I need people to build an iPhone.
You're like, hey, yes, sir.
We'll do it.
How do you feel about communists, Ryan?
I don't like communists.
I've caught on.
Actually.
There was that old saying,
kill a commie for mommy.
I've never heard of this old saying.
I guess I slap another magazine right into my M16
because all I ever want to see are bodies bleeding bodies.
You ever heard that cadence?
Pull a pin on the hand grenade.
Should have seen the mess I made.
Because all I ever want to see are bodies bleeding bodies.
Now, why did you sing it like Frank Sinatra?
Call for fire on the ice cream truck.
I guess those kids were out of luck.
But all I ever want to see are bodies bleeding bodies.
I would have loved to run with you.
I get your g's
soldiers were so high
the city got to get away
yeah you want to sing the new unsub intro song
if you have a
fucking yacht next year
I'm gonna know it was Ray Piotr
Ray cut us all in okay
there's a lot less bots on twitter I wonder what Ryan's
doing
he's bleeding bodies Ray, cut us all in. There's a lot less bots on Twitter. I wonder what Ryan's doing.
He's touching on his guys' bleeding bodies.
Just bought a jet.
You never say that, Cadence.
I guess I'm a little older.
This is back when we had the whole killing commies thing.
There was that...
The Twitter trolls disappear and the government's like,
we don't have any missiles that are about to expire.
That's the process.
I wish all the ladies were pies on a shelf.
And I was the baker.
I'd eat them all myself.
I said, hey, Pasarefa.
Hey, Barbariba.
Left, right, left, right.
Left, right, right.
I feel like the military had more soul back then.
All I had was killing the baby seals.
Sergeant Johnson.
I would have ran fucking all day long.
I'd be like, this dude's really good.
I get a repeat of C-130 rolling down the strip 19 times during a fucking run.
Well, I never, I told you my watch story.
I don't know if I should tell that story on here.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, you can if you want to.
Actually, let's do it.
Wait, hold.
We'll do it on the after show.
Brandon, you want to?
I got this one.
Join us on the after show where Eli Double Tap is going to butt chug an entire bottle of calamine lotion.
