Jake's stepping on cake. Smash videos. He makes so much money. He falls off like doing a line. That's a tier three. Tier three, Jake?

That's how I make money. Boy, you guys got to put that like tier five at least. At least. I just want to see him do the wine stomping thing when he falls off the thing. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. I love everybody. This is like a classic internet. That is just, yeah, that's so old, but it's like instantly recognizable.

It's like the first time that you have the wind knocked out of you. Yeah. Oh, oh, oh. I feel like I was- Sounded like a dying walrus. I was like seven years old and I like fell down the stairs and like, you know, my back hit the stairs on the way down. And I went over to my parents genuinely confused, like saying that I was dying seven years old and I like fell down the stairs and like, you know, my back hit the stairs the way down. And I went over to my parents genuinely confused, like saying that I was dying, thinking that I was dying.

And then they realized like, oh, you're just an idiot. I haven't had the wind knocked out of me in a while. So I don't think I've ever had it happen as an adult. I have still. Yeah. So if I start mouthing off, just, you know, off, just hit me right there so I can feel it again. Thank you. Thank you, Justin.

Okay, I was like, who in the group would have done that? I was like, that's new. I was so confused. I was like, Justin is naked and not afraid. I looked over. I was like, Joe wasn't wearing green shorts. You guys should just have that. You're like, my head counts.

While a super interesting conversation is happening you should just have somebody walk by with their ass out it's like right in front of the cameras just he'll do it used to it Tony let's start this bitch oh wait three where three two one hi everyone welcome to the Unsubscribe Podcast. I'm joined today by Eli Doubletap. Mr. Ackman himself is back. Brandon Herrera, myself, Donut Operator. Thank you for joining us. We love you.

I love how you said, is back. Is back. Yeah, he's been here. Yeah, back in San Antonio. Back in San Antonio. He's never been on the podcast. Back in the fantastic city of San Antonio. Cody, you remember when we interviewed him the first time? Yeah, well, he was at the Range Day. Yes. That's never been on the podcast. Back in the fantastic city of San Antonio. Cody, you remember when we interviewed him the first time?

No, he was at the range day. Yes. That's what I meant by back. Okay. Yeah. I was just looking at the Zach Galifianakis equations going by you for a second. I was going to try to trick him into being like, yeah, we did a podcast with him. I was going to go along with you.

Podcast at the range day. Gaslight him. If all three of us teamed up on him, we could have gaslighted him. Cody's like, how drunk was I? No, him and I danced at the **** together. Yeah. We were two-stepping. So that's actually...

There was a plan to have him on the podcast before, but of course with the range days, we just fucking backlog eight different episodes at once, and everybody is just fucking tired at the end. So we had to push it. And we were already this... You were like, the range days, the date we picked picked and then it's like fuck it's like one day or two days before the live shows like yeah it's okay you guys had to pick the best of the best and i didn't make the cut but you know i'm here right now and uh i think you guys actually reached out to me like a couple years ago for the

first time oh really and i think yeah i think i remember you seen our numbers like and now you've seen our numbers like well no i think i think my channel was demonetized so i was like a little bit uh yeah i was i was like welcome to the fucking club buddy welcome to the party pal we're pretty good on unsubs surprisingly i'm surprised yeah i don't know how we stay as monetized as we do because we only say it yeah yeah that's so much more you're not showing the murder like i do yeah or building uh firearms or you know building the gun the homemade pipe gun that killed the Japanese prime minister or anything. What did you do? You never heard?

No, what'd you do? It's a long, fun story. It basically ended with me making some satirical tweets about what had happened to me from this other content creator. He had called my mom, harassed her basically told told her to stop told her to tell me to stop making videos about him you want us to beat the out of him the drama's over we should probably find out who the creator is first it's robert oh burst but basically he did a bunch of and um didn't get punished for it so he started posting satirical tweets about like,

I'm going to start this new series called Doxing Adventures with Actman. I'll be doxing and harassing the employees at YouTube. It's going to have a lot of family-friendly content. So I made these satirical tweets because this guy had been doing this stuff. I think I remember that, actually. Yeah, they took it as legitimate threats, even though they had me on speed dial. And they called me. No one does that first.

Well, actually, my YouTube partner manager called me. And he was like, hey, can you take down those tweets? People think you're serious. And I'm like, yeah, no problem. I'll take it down. But I'll screenshot it first. So that when they come out and say, oh, you did this, I got the receipts. So that's the short version.

But, yeah, so when you guys first hit me up, I was dealing with that. Well, it wasn't the best state of mind, but we came through it, and now I'm here and happy to be here. The backdrop is really fucking awesome, I got to say. We got everything from gamer to teaching the mentally retarded. Yeah. Legendary helmet. Dude, it came together pretty good. We are proud of this backdrop.

We're all like adding more shit as we go along. Yeah. Like each one of the things that are back there, just something that we have added to it. Yeah. We went from all just like anime and gaming shit to literal, like fucking hunting license of a pedophile hunter. Like it's, it's evolving. And the best part right there, if you ask me, just like anime and gaming shit to literal like fucking hunting license of a pedophile hunter like it's uh it's evolving and the best part right there if you ask me among us among us yeah

dude watching your videos from old to now is you you started off with a lot less face time you didn't show your face as much yeah You went through that phase and you're like, fuck this. Yeah. I want some recognition. Well, actually, it's kind of funny. Like, yeah, the older videos, I was like, I didn't know how fucking lighting worked. So it was always like super orange or it just looked like dog shit. So I would just record my voice. But then I realized, hey, if I'm trying to find gameplay footage that's relevant for everything I'm saying, well, if I just

record my face, then I can always default to that when I don't know what to put on screen. Makes making videos a lot easier, because then you can just... Yeah. I'm not ugly. People don't mind looking at me, I think. Right? What a nice descriptor. Comment below. You don't mind looking at me.

The comments are like 1 to 10. Write how hot he is. Act man, hot or not. Left or right? Hold on, I got a mute first. Shit, dog. I'm swiping right. Damn, boy.

Gotta channel the inner Zoolander. Dude, I know what our Patreon is now. Shit. What's your content consist of, like, mostly these days, though? You know, game reviews is always the bread and butter. It takes me a fucking millennium to get them out. But also just kind of like talking about the industry, what's going on in it, any controversies. You know, people love a good controversy.

They love controversy and comedy so if there's good stuff to make fun of you know some bad hot takes out there around gaming um you know from people who are misinformed that's always people love that shit you're a predator i'm a predator of bad takes all right all right so what's the most recent controversy that you're you're going in on you here here's one you guys will like because you your video on this was fucking fantastic because you truly break it down is sjw and it's a couple years now but how in depth and how pissed because you see it from the proper view like stop ruining games based off of oh is it that one company no this is a lot so this is everything from the video from like 2017 like the really old one but it's a good

take for it because you're breaking down like race you're like race isn't an issue stop pushing this shit and then you fast forward to 2024 and that shit is really resonating on film video games and how assassins creed and like the new one shit like that people are just like just give me feudal japan yeah because it's all i want literally your point and do you still stick by that well there's a lot of points that i stick by i think the the landscape has kind of changed where i think there's more like false shots than there are like bullseyes sometimes you know people like rail against games when it's and they call it woke when there's nothing really in it that makes the game worse. And that's kind of where I always stand. If you can point to this thing and say, okay, this is how it makes the game worse, and this is

how it could have been done better, and this is how it took me out of the game, then that's Last of Us 2. I've never played Last of Us 2. Neither have I. So how do you know? Because I looked into it, and I'm like, man man that does not sound like something i want what happens in the first hour fuck you yeah yeah i i read that too but i also i don't want to ruin it for the people that want to watch the show because i'll probably it's been four years i think the show i mean oh yeah because the people who don't play the games watch the show yeah yeah no so like there's there's always, like, some, like, ideological influences on video games.

But that doesn't mean, like, anytime there's politics in a video game, it's, like, automatically bad. You know, like, obviously, Fallout, Bioshock are prime examples. Oh, the Fallout thing with the New Vegas developer? Oh, oh, shit. I forgot about that. Apparently, it's all capitalism is the problem. Really, that was really our greatest flaw this whole time. We didn't know this.

I can't remember why we got into it at one time, but my favorite video game of all time, or Brandon's favorite video game of all time, is Fallout New Vegas. Round of applause in the audience, but Brandon's favorite video game of all time is Fallout New Vegas. Like, it's the one of the fucking best games ever. Round of applause in the audience, because that is a based take. One of my favorite games. And so I don't know what got us onto it on Twitter.

Or what got me onto it on Twitter one time. I was like, oh, hell yeah. I want to tell this developer, like, or the, it was the lead producer. We found out that the guy responsible for putting the AM-180 in the game, one of the. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because we shot the AM-180, the, you know, the.22 caliber gun that has the drum mag on top. It's like a pan-fed magazine. It's like 177 rounds or whatever.

Unless you go with the bigger one, which is like 250 or some shit. Which you'll obviously go with the bigger one. Oh, yeah. Of course. So we were like, wow, we're so happy they put the AM-180 in the game. It's one of his favorite guns. Yeah. It's my favorite gun.

Fallout New Vegas is my favorite game. And I was like, oh, I'm going to hit up the developer and tell him that, like, Joe, thank you for putting the AM-180 in the game. He blocked me on Twitter. And I've never interacted with him before. And so I was just thrown back I was like what like just sad like little boy Cody like I was just like

me going on Hideo Kojima I'm like I'm gonna send Hideo a message and it's like blocked I'd be like the fuck did I do it was like a public tweet though cause it was and it was like people were getting pissy that we were like, dude, what the hell? Because we were just like, no politics, no nothing. It's like, oh, dude, it's so fucking cool you put this gun in the game.

We're big fans of that gun, you know, real life, blah, blah, blah. Come shoot it. Yeah, yeah. Would you like to come out? We invited him to come shoot it. Would you like to come shoot it for real instead of behind a desk? Like, not, you know, in an inflammatory way, but like genuinely, like, do you want to come out for a range for a range day like oh these gun boys are fucking upset that somebody doesn't love them it's like no it's just like that was kind of a you could just say no thank you yeah there's that's fine like i'm

like what do you say fuck me for yeah well there's a dude there's like what what like three or four am 180s in the united states there's more than that but they're very rare they're very rare and we were wanting him to come out to shoot an am 180 when i bought mine it was uh it's not even a transferable it was 13 grand 14 grand something like that they're very rare and very sought out now i need to look up this gun but but yeah we looked him up to try and invite him out to a range day and we were already blocked for some reason. That's ridiculous. That would be like Hideo or any one of my directors that I watch. I'd be like, Christopher Nolan blocked me.

First off, how does he know me? In a second, why the fuck did he block me? There's a version of that, man. 250 rounds? Jesus. That's the drum right there. That's actually my gun he's holding. Wow.

Oh, really? Yeah. So I did that video with him. It's admin results. Have you ever shot, shot like cut out this star with a bb gun that's exactly what that gun does yeah that is pretty cool and what's funny is that they used to use it back in the day like for policing and stuff like that like or for uh riot control stuff because it was technically uh it wasn't less than lethal but it was less lethal lethal. Yeah. Because they didn't have like beanbag rounds, like rubber rounds, stuff like that. So they would just use 22 rounds to like shoot.

Just fucking crazy. But yeah, you guys heard that the New Vegas, I think one of the writers came out and said that, which I vehemently disagree with, that capitalism wasn't actually the point of the Fallout games. It was actually about how war never changes and that mankind's innate nature causes them to wage war. And it wasn't just a slam against capitalism. I'm very upset. Wait, the writer said that?

Yeah. It's not like that's the tagline of the game or anything is that war never changes who could have put it together i i don't know if only there was a hint yeah if only there was like four or three words yeah four words at the start of each game to just kind of like lay out what the message was i don't know that seems a little reductive war never changes okay i can hear connor over here thinking i can hear his thoughts right now all i was gonna say was like technically that's only three words well he says war twice yeah yeah it's never changed you all right that's a little

pedantic what is it's i want to know how many developers like after it comes out because i i truly believe a lot of those games fall out. One fall out, two. I've played the first two, three in New Vegas a long time ago, but love the first two with isometric view. Those games, when you made those, I don't I truly don't believe when they were writing it's like

this is what this represents. They're like, this is fucking dope, and then we'll make mutants and then this is the cohesive story and then however it turns later. I just want to chuck a mini nuke and a deathclaw dude like but the controversy around the average player the controversy around it now is that uh some people on reddit and across twitter are disagreeing with the author or not the writer reddit but reddit never changes but to be fair it never changes everyone's entitled to their own interpretation of the work but i do think it's funny that like there's people who are more

inclined to be like no this is this is all because of capitalism the fall universe is the way it is because of capitalism and uh the writer's like well it's more about like human nature and war no bro it's like in the fall nature and war. No, bro. It's like in the Fallout universe, China was the one that launched the nukes first. But the communists, you mean? Don't slander them in front of me. That's fucking crazy. Don't you dare slander them in front of me.

of communism though I've actually I've actually been reading into it and uh Nick loves communism it's it sounds really good on paper it's great isn't it yeah on on paper it is and wait you brought us something i i brought something made some some scripture to share with the people oh wow oh it's going in the background what are you chucking jake don't worry about it see i think this episode two. I think people, when they think of communism, they think of all the times it's failed. But it's never actually been implemented properly. It's never been implemented the way you would do it.

Yeah, exactly. Oh, thank God Nick isn't here. Fuck, dude. We should all sign it. What's up? Dude, Nick, have you watched how this is how you set off? This is how you set up. Okay.

We're going to definitely put this in the background. I actually... Actually put it next to the retard one. Yeah, Nick will be suplexing you into the fucking corner. Can I just share some lines of scripture? Oh, please. Go for it.

Thank God Nick isn't here. Fuck jesus don't feed the ukrainians i'm sorry was that not in the original book or like i picture nick like right now looking around like a disturbance in the forest and then jesus said nobody should be allowed the fruits of their own labor we should all be equally as miserable the end it's pretty good summary what's funny is i actually i own a hard i own a hardback copy of this as well as like wait is that as big as he's a communist yeah so that's the funny part if you look you took a picture anywhere they can be anywhere all right mccarthy's if you look if you took a picture of my library, you'd be very confused. Because I do a decent bit of reading, I think. And I think most important, like, most historic texts are important to at least read through.

And so, like, I have intentionally in my fucking wall, I have a copy of Das Kapital, The Communist Manifesto, and Mein Kampf all together on the same shelf. Just to confuse the shit out of anybody who walks into my library. Wait, this is fucking only 40 pages that's that's all they needed that's all the paper they had this is what started like and this is what people go off of there's no food in there one page for every million people it kills you know there's actually there's actually a modern example that I think kids can relate to to figure out how communism doesn't work if you guys have ever played Valheim or Minecraft with your buddies yes and you leave your chests unlocked you know let's say you guys are building a world

together in Minecraft and you got you got your own house everybody has their own house you know you guys are mining stuff you're getting materials all this stuff you got your different chests with signs like this is where the wood is this is where the diamonds are you log off for a couple days log back in and you're half your house has been destroyed and all your shit is gone and you tell your buddies yo dude where's where's all the wood where are the diamonds oh i used it to build my own. That's why communism doesn't work. It went to the front line, comrade. Yeah, exactly.

Look at new wall, comrade. This is my house. Yeah, but mine, mine's gone. Very nice structure to build base off of. Yeah, but we built new buildings. With your stuff. We built a community building over here. No, that's exactly, like, it's actually funny because, like, whenever me and my buddies would play Valheim, like, you know, you'd get those people who would just kind of, like, around, but they would just take your shit.

And then, like, your shit that you worked for, you went out and you got that iron ore. I know. Every single. I like it so bad. You're going to be so pissed because you're like, bro. Bro, I'm in for this shit. Every single f***ing April. I know. I get it so video game you're so pissed cause you're like bro every single I'm in for this shit every single April

I know I get it yeah yeah so in case any kids were wondering communism doesn't work I like that

and then Karl Marx you have to paint to see his grave which is you didn't know that that is the thing in order to the satire writes itself in order to see his gravestone you must pay money no way i'm so excited to fucking google it that is an i believe you you're filling this seat dude you are you are

our stand-in nick right now you're ranting against communism and you have no sleeves he gets up and he's like what I don't even know about communism walks away Nick's not but I'm being serious I actually love coming oh I see yeah we on a real note hurts you grab my gun for me I grab two I'll do it myself now three bring it Nick I can just you for the gift yeah you're welcome that's definitely going next to the other book I did bring another book

put it next to teaching the mentally retarded and the communist manifesto we just said that five minutes ago I was adding on to the joke I was like put it next to the retard and the guy was like put it next to the retard. And the guy was like, put it next to the retard book. Now, I did bring another book. Teaching the Mentally Retarded?

We're just going to go ahead and just throw that in there. Yeah, yeah. You get it first page, you open it, and it's like a nice surprise. The plot thickens. So originally, I really was deeply invested in communism. I truly believed in it until I started reading this other book. And I started really diving into it.

And well, it comes from a very trusted source. And he just was really starting to speak some truth to it. And I started to realize that communism probably doesn't work the way people think it does now if you want I did bring the book with me yep have you guys read this oh my god this is

yep nope even better again a author a h Nope. Even better. Try again. Oh, A-H. Author A-H? Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. You knew what this was, right?

Oh, I knew it. One of the reasons I knew what it was. I just like you were like, I'm coming on to Unsub. You know who would love some books? See, we're trying to be. I have quite the catalog to pick from. We actually want to be fair and balanced so we brought both

I no shit have a picture somewhere he has some great points as you were saying so he's got some great points that's my copy at my house next to a bunch of the German stick grenades I got the 1939 edition printed in English just because I thought it was wild

that you couldn't buy it on Amazon but you can buy the communist manifesto in English just because I thought it was wild that you couldn't buy it on Amazon, but you can buy the Communist Manifesto in Das Kapital. Well, this was more expensive than the Communist Manifesto, so I guess communism does... It has a couple more pages. Yeah, a couple more pages,

but when someone brings out a copy of Mein Kampf, your first question is probably, why do they own that? There's a lot of good reasons. If we turn to page 447... Is that a bookmark?

Have you actually read this book? It's dog shit. Yeah. It is so skitso. It sucks. It's so bad. It's all over the place. They're just going to cut segments out of this brain and be like, yeah, I own a copy. Oh, great reading. It's just segment-ness. And you're like, well,

here's our career. No, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cut it up for the intro so it makes me look like a fucking unhinged Nazi. And we all just agree. Yeah. And Hitler said, here he is not frightened by anything at all, and his baseness becomes so gigantic that nobody need wonder that in our people, the personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living appearance of the Jew. That's the two-second intro now.

You heard it here, folks. That's the intro people are going to be like, well, I got to watch second intro now. You heard it. That's the intro where you're gonna be like, I gotta watch this episode now. What the fuck? I never would have assumed this would be the one. Like, yeah, let's get the video game guy on. That's pretty easy, man.

There's no... Fuck, dude. I was actually surprised. I know you guys like history on this channel. I'll be real. Well, the interesting thing about this is that this is an annotated version of MindComp. So, basically, it has thousands of Twitter community notes on all the shit he said that's wrong and stupid. So, that's point number one.

Like, if you try to read this without. Oh, it actually does have, like, annotation notes. Yeah, exactly. And. Oh, man, it have annotation notes. Yeah, exactly. And... Oh, man, it has some roots in Nietzsche. Yeah, so they released this in 1939 before they invaded Poland. So it offers

a pretty interesting perspective of what the sentiment was right before World War II broke out. You know, because Hitler, I think he came out with it in, what, 23? Mein Kampf? I want to say it was a little later than that, yeah. 33? Mom! Mom!

Did you see my race? Of course I did, darling! Look, you did your best. You tried. The thing is, it's not about winning. It's about taking part. Next year you might do better. But I did win, Mom! You did? When it's sunny, part next year you might do better but i did win mom you did when it's sunny make sure you can still see at spec savers get two pairs of glasses from 149

and one can be prescription sunglasses hey the sun won't wait visit specsavers.ca for details conditions apply yeah it was somewhere in there but but, you know. They ally themselves with Marxist mortal enemies. Yeah, see? See? This is where I started to, you know, I started to break away from the communist cult. And now I think I'm on something much better. Wow, no, you were close. It was July of 1925.

I didn't realize it was that early. Yeah, no. So, like, so this didn't really come to the States. They couldn't read this in English until way later. And when it came out, I think the first copies, they didn't really censor much in Nazi Germany. They were pretty free speech advocates. Yeah, they were big on books.

What books did they burn, Eli? The interesting part about this is that it actually highlights the sections of Mein Kampf that Hitler didn't want people outside of germany to read so you have like what he's trying to hide what what his actual a deep dive up so it's actually good reading this one would be a very good reading there's no point to read this book unless you read it with like annotations and like the backstory of like yeah he's fucking and it's nice that it's really not like it's not a modern annotation it's a this is historical context before Germany is the enemy this is what the sentiment was at

the time I completely agree like that's really really interesting to see yeah it's a good excuse I just hate the Jews I mean that's what I have it, but, you know. We're going to get along. Not because of that statement. But I never thought I'd have an intellectual conversation about the fucking, I guess, validity of reading Mein Kampf in 2024 on a podcast. I actually want to share part of the review for it. So there's like a brief. There's like a brief review. Poland gives this one star. No, no, no.

Like a review of Mein Kampf by Dorothy Thompson. Shout out Dorothy Thompson because she fucking lets him have it. Okay. I just want to read the first paragraph. Okay. So this is her review of Mein Kampf. Americans can now read the text of the book that has shaken Western civilization. Keep in mind 1939.

The reader will find the English writing rhetorical, turbid and digressive, Americans can now read the text of the book that has shaken Western civilization. Keep in mind, 1939. The reader will find the English writing rhetorical, turbid, and digressive, and the text disorganized. Do not, however, criticize the translators. Hitler's first battle was with the German language, and this fight, at least, he has never won. God damn. Mic drop moment. There's more Let it be said that if the world is overthrown By this document and the man behind it

It is overthrown without benefit of grammar Or literary style Dorothy's spicy dude Dorothy's spicy Shout out Dorothy Thompson bro Dorothy fucked him up I know right Dorothy was on the list Good thing she was over here Dorothy Thompson, bro. Dorothy fucked him up. I know, right?

Dorothy was on the list. Good thing she was over here. Yeah, right? No, she doesn't stop there. Yeah, man in the high tower, or man in the high castle. Hitler had to conquer Germany to compel even Nazis to read this book. Oh, God damn.

Now, of course, it is the German Bible running close to the annual circulation of the Holy Scriptures, but there are plenty of high-ranking officials of the German government who have never gotten past the first two chapters. I couldn't either, by the way. It is most definitely a book that one can lay down. Dorky's fucking savage. So, like, I mean, on the real the real it's like it's really interesting to

see what people actually thought of the book in 1939 like before they invaded poland yeah i know right she fucking dropped the mic but there's also a funny uh at the very end of her review she says um this is all something tribalistic pre--Renaissance, pre-Rome, pre-civilization. Against the instinctualism of this book, against the fetish world, mankind has striven upward, feeling his way step by step through ages. Occasionally he has relapsed when civilization became too hard. Then we have had a dark age. Are we in for another? I think not.

Well, that didn't age particularly well. That last part didn't but everything else Dorothy that was a bold prediction one that did not come to fruition Dorothy hits you know 99% of the time but just that 1% it kind of sounds like Dorothy calls World War 2

she like no ballsed him into World War 2 she just fucked him up dude some of those like some older books like they really have a way with words where they're just like, they just hit you with some kind of lethal dart. Anyways, what video games are you playing? Dude, that is, this is when Nick would have been like, damn it. I wasn't on that episode. Yeah, I f***ed out.

Sorry, Nick. Holy shit. Yeah, this is the deepest. We're like, oh no, we we're going thank you for the gifts well but so so in relating that to video games like one of my favorite video games is call of duty world at war which i think yeah yeah does such a fantastic that's that's a slept on video game there because i love that one too 2009 i think in terms of like all like how many call of duties there are maybe people don't give that story enough enough credit yeah because it really pulls no punches i really love the simulator when you're the russians pushing into berlin and it

gives you the mission like kind of like the no russian thing where it gives you the option of doing the russian simulator they really nailed it what level was that brandon i don't remember i don't know it was dlc right it was the historically accurate version there's a reason they wanted to be captured by the americans yes yes it was the americans were the great guys to surrender to yeah dude that war is like again, again, America did fantastic. But Russia, poor Russia, just what they went through, like, Stalingrad and that push. And it was just 20 to 40. There is an estimate of 20 million guesstimation on how many died during that war for the Russian side.

Was World at War the one where you're laying down in the fountain? Yeah, yeah. And they're shooting everyone around you? Yeah. And they're like, just lay still, brother. Lay still. And then you hear that main menu music of the lady kind of singing. I'm not going to try to do it because it'll probably sound fucking terrible

coming out of my voice. But if you know what I'm talking about, you can hear it. Or if you hear it, you'll be like, oh, yeah. I'm going to go back and play World at war tonight oh yeah absolutely should yeah so like video games uh they can inspire a lot of different kinds of passion whether it's for like storytelling or history so i got i got really big into history uh just specifically world war ii um because there's so much to it. Just like that book. It's one thing. It just inspired you.

To be clear, I think the Nazis were gay as fuck. Wow. Controversial take. Yeah, I know. You know, that Hitler guy, really not a fan.

I don't want to go out on a limb. But I'm the one who brought a copy of Mein Kampf. So I feel like I need to clarify where I stand just to remove all doubt fair chase vfx him with the hitler mustache my favorite part was like i always loved uh during the campaign they're like oh he's a fucking neo-nazi this is this is this i'm like my entire platform is i hate the government you know what the nazis

loved government they were real big on that shit. Dude. Oh, yeah. This would have been a good, like, Nick sitting in. You would have been in the middle. Nick would be like, I can relate to you very well. Yeah, yeah. No, see, my original plan. World War II.

My original plan was to, because I talked to some of my buddies who are, like, big fans of the podcast. And they were like, oh. Shout out to them. Yeah, yeah. If that electrician is on you got to you got to start talking about communism so what do you think about the molotov ribbon drop you know uh they they should have kept it alive if hitler wanted to win but that's but damn he knew what that was immediately that's impressive so you actually do a lot of

research and like history you're big is world war ii your big like piece that you're like i love doing research or reading yeah yeah i get um i get pretty into it like i go through obsessive phases with things um i don't know if any of you guys have no adhd different that too yeah yeah you you have your rabbit holes that you do yeah yeah i like to think i'm not autistic that i have like decent social skills um do you want to go make out? You have great social skills. Yeah. So you picked up on all the cues. Yeah. Yeah. Better than you could say about any of us. Yeah. He's like, yeah. Well, that's, that's what we, Brandon and I also talk about quite a bit. It's like, if you're in this game you're making out yes yeah yeah you got to be

autistic at some level where you focus on like something like world war ii or you focus on vietnam war you focus on something like that and you just dive so deep into it do i think we need a fucking parking space because we're like disabled like autistic no but like there's a little touch of the tism in every one of us well you might need a special parking place but um how we just got on the reddit there is one it cracked me up there's a it's all right i get social cues so i have three purple hearts fuck off don't do it thank you that's incredible so anyway the subreddit eli oh yeah the subreddit was uh a dude that maybe has autism or claims or he could whatever but he's like hey don't use the word retard um anyone like you can

have your feelings and if we hurt your feelings hey like that's not gonna apologize for that because that's we do us you do you we're very big on that we'll never pc or dumb something down just because we hurt somebody's feelings if you're autistic but or but i don't know fucking however it affects you it affects you negative but like he was like going into these oh god one two three i have no feelings on that and then number three he's like no out of the people with autism he's like i have autism blah blah he's like cody and brandon they don't have autism eli does i'm like god damn it why would you point to me of all the people when an autistic person is like you have autism like i can tell it's like my son does i've got autism in my family and you know there's we've taken i've taken tests at my fucking my entire shop it was like a joke at one point we all took the test

we're like all right we're gonna be 100 honest i scored second out of all of my employees next to the guy who was diagnosed i'm like all right well that's that's a that's a result i'll fucking process that later i say i always say have your spouse do it and then if you score high you're like oh i scored lower it's like yeah new high score with her is that good or bad like that's bad worse actually i'm like oh i feel like when you're because i was a kid and they diagnosed me with adhd and like i've had my own personal problems like in school and uh focusing on stuff i try not to think that i have a diagnosis because I try to view it as like I just think differently. Superpowers. You have a different operating.

I always say it is a different operating system. Some stuff's harder. Some stuff's easier. But don't try to change everyone else because it's like, hey, my life with autism is more difficult because X, Y, and Z. Guess what? Ryden will never say that fucking statement ever in his life because my life is dope daddy i just got cars and something else because you did this but he is happy make yourself happy find whatever is your tism because fuck if you

have autism you have something you are dialed the fuck in on and you're going to excel at that do that make that happy. Yes. Relationships and stuff might be more difficult. Read a book about that. You can overcome that shit. Or not. But then just be happy.

TLDR. Whatever we say won't unretard you. That's the next shirt unretarded I cast social skills what do you want from me dude not very effective so I actually do have a legit ADHD diagnosis from a while back

I found out that if you look at the pie chart for ADHD versus autism it's a fucking circle. It's close. Yeah. There's a huge correlation. So also, try not to let words hurt you too much. But also, I had a buddy who's, I think he's in his late 30s.

He was diagnosed with autism. And it was kind of like. It affects you, dude. I don't. Don't let it affect you. Don't let it make you feel like you are less than what you are. You are just different and you are your own person. Some people, when they put a word on it, it fucks them up.

Yeah, exactly. When it's like, well, because there's the same you've already known, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Now you just die. That I can't wrap my head around because i was like why would that affect somebody because i watch videos of people getting affected like i got the diagnosis and you see it like crush them i'm like it's not cancer like it's not a new thing you grew like you're right it's you're not like physically deteriorating say i

only have 50 more years your life you have life well but to have like a doctor be like you know what actually there's something fucking wrong with you up there did you know that buster i'm like yeah i did yes but still it's as you're saying it words or anything it is the um did you is is it acted upon is it me like what's the meaning behind it and when you say it if it's fucking hatred yeah it makes way more sense but a lot of people you can say retarded say autism you can say whatever all of us are gonna laugh about it you can make white jokes mexican jokes i don't care if it's a joke it's a joke unless you're saying it with like hatred, then we might have a little bit of an issue. What was that for me?

Oh, thank you, Connor. Wow. Thank you. Yeah. You guys are a lot of fun to talk to. I don't really get too many opportunities. I don't know if it's the autism, but I couldn't tell if you're being serious. Well, that's no, that's why we're on the same wavelength.

Same spectrum. These guys don't get it. These fucking normal people. Except for Eli. Yeah. So what do you think of the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923? To be honest, I'm really not familiar. Go on.

No, that was Hitler's first attempted coup of the government by force. Okay. I'm genuinely not familiar. Really? No. I hope you stand up and don't know anything about World War II. It's just that seat is so imprinted with Nick. Yeah.

Because that's his seat. This is a Nick moment. I'm like, you have talked about a piece of history that I don't know about. Dude, this... People are riveted right now because history. Yeah, history. So you guys don't know what I'm talking about, so I can say whatever the fuck I want. And as long as I say

it with conviction, you'll believe me. I'll just read the comments later and see if they fact check you, but yes. Or, better yet, Google it. No, it was basically no i was basically never do i can't remember if it was uh we do that all the time on the podcast we're just like oh fuck if only the nightmare nightmare brick could tell us well so hitler wrote mind conf while he was in prison right yep he was in world war one after world war one he was a soldier decorated soldier, and then rose to power. So World War I ended in 2000. Or excuse me.

Jesus Christ. Sorry. World War I ended in 1918. So he rode Mein Kampf seven years later. Okay. But he was still a decorated soldier during. Yes. Right? He had an Iron Cross and everything, I believe.

Okay. Yeah. I hate giving Hitler any props, but. I mean, dude, you cannot. Leadership giving Hitler any props, but I mean, the dude, you cannot leadership wise. You can't say, oh,

he was a bad leader. When you rise to power to that degree, you can't be like fucking. He was, he was Eli double tap. You cannot say Adolf Hitler was a bad leader. I mean, he had bad ideas.

He's still, he was good at gaining power. He was not good with exercising it. No, I would agree with that completely. He was terrible with power. Really? That's a pretty hot take. I know, yeah.

Crazy take. Terrible with power. But I mean, even his people that ideologically were consistent with his worldview did not really love his leadership and his decision making, especially toward the end of the war. It was just off the rails. Well, a lot of people in the Nazi party, because there's so many like fascinating stories within world war ii and uh valkyrie yeah valkyrie um but a lot of a lot of like the nazi higher-up leadership didn't actually like believe what he was saying they just were like along for the ride like oh this is how like if i grab on to

hitler i'll go tells rise the ranks yeah yeah i think that was what happened to rommel too They just were like along for the ride like oh, this is how like if I grab on to the hill or I'll Go tells rise the ranks. Yeah. Yeah, I think that was what happened to Rommel too, but not mistaken Did he I think I think Rommel he was the one in Africa doing the Africa campaign, right? Yeah My great uncle actually fought under him in the Africa Corps and was actually captured in El Alamein and brought back to the United States As a POW. Wow. Yeah. I think to Texas. And now we have Brandon Herrera.

Mexico. Unfortunately. Yeah. Unfortunately. No, but I think, I know we've kind of been going all over the place, but like history is super fascinating. I mean, you guys, I don't need you to, I don't, you guys don't need me to tell you that. You guys own all these cool firearms and like World War II relics that are real. No, but explain what you're talking about.

Oh, the beer hall pooch? Yeah, dude. I never heard of it. Oh, you never heard of it? No. I don't remember what that is. I dropped out of high school, dog. Well, this was Hitler's first attempted coup of the government of the Weimar Republic.

Because back then, the Nazis were a smaller group, and they would hang out in beer halls, right? And they would get some drinks, and they'd be like, Those Jews! Can you believe them? It sounded a lot like our friend group. Minus the Jew part. Yeah, yeah. I'm not good at a German accent. Sorry.

Sorry, I just associate racism with the the south that's the one thing that would get you cancelled we're not racist like shit I'm from Washington you guys there's a lot of jokes you can make about me so he started small if I'm not mistaken

Weimar Republic is when the German economy is in a complete downturn the money means shit small yeah no no so if i'm not mistaken like this is why more republic is when like the the german economy is in a complete downturn yeah the money means shit after world war one they have in like four years they're given all these um terms that are like like the treaty of versailles uh the league of nations is like propped up they make these incredibly unreasonable demands which like sows the seed of discontent among the German people, which Hitler exploits. I'm pretty sure even like one of the main French generals during World War I straight up said about the Treaty of Versailles,

the only thing this is doing is postponing the war 20 years. He wasn't wrong. He was not wrong. He's like, this is completely unreasonable. They will never be able to complete this. But the Beer Hall Putsch was like, one day they attempted a coup of the government hitler and a bunch of other nazis basically tried to invade the government i can't remember exactly

what building but they tried to take government officials hostage and basically say like new regimes here boys uh i think 15 nazis died they called it the beer hall putsch because they assembled in the beer halls. They left and then, you know. It's all a bunch of hammered fucking dudes. Yeah, but they basically tried to get this old decorated World War I general to come in and say like, Yep, yes, guys, this government is over. The new one is here.

Obviously, the coup failed and, you know, Hitler was put in prison, which is when he wrote Mein Kampf. No shit. Okay. Yeah, he wrote Mein Kampf with one of his closest, like most fanatical devotees. You would say Rudolf Hess, if you guys know about him. No? That guy was a fucking crackpot even for the Nazis. Dude.

When you call somebody a crackpot, you're like, fuck. Okay. Man. Man, I was listening to this Hitler guy, but Hess, he was a crackpot. No, the Nazis thought he was a crackpot you're like fuck okay man like man i was listening to this hitler guy but hess he was a crackpot no no the nazis thought he was a crackpot so this guy this guy's career highlight was in 1941 he went solo like he's he's one of hitler's closest like advisors rudolph hess surprised you guys don't know about him you should really look into this guy we're not nick yeah yeah yeah he'd probably know i know the. I really don't know much about his personal life or anything. So the highlight of his career was, I think, in 1941,

when Germany was at war with Britain. I think this was after they had beaten France. That was 1941, I believe. They were at war with Britain and bombing them, and Rudolf Hess was like, you know, we can't fight a war on two fronts. So he was fucking crazy he thought he could take a plane fly it to great britain meet the duke of hamilton and negotiate terms of uh like a treaty so he he flies he just flew there he went behind hitler's

back he's one of his like most highest top top advisors this is mid-war. This is peak war. Yeah, he was the deputy. This was before the U.S. got involved. This is 1941. This is still peak war. Before Pearl Harbor. He was the deputy fuhrer. That was the rank he was given. So basically, like...

But peak war for... I mean, Britain at that time, that's still like everything is getting conquered. It's scary, yeah. Like, bad time. Like, Britain's basically the only one putting up

a fight right now. And, yeah, so he takes this plane he somehow manages to avoid all the radar stations in britain uh but he runs out of gas he can't find like where he's supposed to go to meet with this random fucking aristocrat who has like no connection to the government yeah it's a it's a crazy fucking story he he abandons his plane. It crashes. And then he is immediately apprehended and arrested. And he spends the rest of his life in prison. Holy shit. Until he was the last Nazi in prison from the Nuremberg trials. He was the last one to die.

And he died in the 80s. The last guy to die outside of Argentina. Yeah. It's a crazy story. You guys really should. Rudolph has. Also, if you want to watch the Cody's face right now, he's like, what the fuck? No, I was like, I got to watch more movies, dude.

Dude, I will tell you guys. Have you guys heard of, this is the best World War II documentary series I think I've ever watched. It is the most comprehensive. I think it's like 26 parts. It was produced in 1972. So this is like 27 years after the war ended and to to pique your interest the tagline i think the director said to get to like what his goal was in producing this uh documentary series on world war ii is i wanted to interview the people that dropped the bombs and the people they were dropped on so he so there's

interviews from like german citizens both yeah yeah you get all sides it's it's called the world at war completely free to watch on call it that was the call of duty game right i think that's where they got them yeah okay i was just making sure but the docu-series is called the world at war anyways i'm talking a lot no shut like dude yeah i i cannot stress enough like that is what as you can see we shut the fuck up and are listening because it's something we're learning yeah yeah and this is that weird podcast where people are like huh they're gonna talk about come and then learn for 20 minutes straight yeah that was fucking dope yeah yeah the duality man yeah yeah the duality man which way western man so how big are your cum loads they like like we talking

i actually had an idea just now we might cut this with the cum loads no not necessarily that's the highlight no no not cut that that's gold um would we want to get my 92 year old grandmother on here the german civilian during world war ii yes a hundred percent i will ask i'll see if she she'd be willing to fly but she's still like pretty you know pretty damn lucid for you absolutely should because i mean you never know when i mean my grand grandparents are gone i wish i talked to them more about like stuff i did talk to them about like history and like what it was like growing up this is it's a completely different lifestyle we get to learn a completely different view because you're talking about no tech like technology very non-existent computers don't exist you're living in the now and then war is

going on which is yeah even talking to iraqis during like the iraqi war you got it was fucking weird going into different houses and hearing their points of views or seeing what was happening and then like oh yeah we appreciate what you're doing because my dad just he got kidnapped and killed one day and you're like yeah holy fuck what and that was just their day-to-day so oh me ma herrera it's uh oma oma's oma that's what we of course you know german but i i mean i we'd always talked about one day sitting down in front of a camera and just like documenting her life experience i couldn't think of a better format than here she's like the Jews and we're like oh my God dude I actually they were this tall oh no she's cut away from that you you can you don't have to see what he's doing to know what he's doing when he says that it's

better left up to the imagination but she talks about like her experience of like going through the bodies every day as like a 14 year her experience of going through the bodies every day as a 14-year-old girl. Going through the bodies looking for her brothers and her dad. Yeah. Seeing every day that was just a normal thing. Her actually getting shipped off to the French countryside during the early days of the bombings. And basically getting kidnapped by a French family that she ran away from like as a 14 year old girl going through the the the black forest alone to like walk all the way across europe back to her home

in uh in germany it's fucking crazy she's got some stories dude even like fuck like we the idea of bombing cities because you're in like like, World War is completely different rules. You are bombing cities. Civilians are then part of it. Near Pier is wild. Dude, like, war, war, like, total war. Well, you have such different rules of engagement, Geneva Convention and all that. Like, we weren't allowed to.

People, unless, they can point guns at us. This is combat. People are pointing guns. You're like like you can't shoot unless they shoot at you first so you're like okay this fucking sucks and you hold to that standard no matter what and then to hear oh yeah you're just doing city bombing raids or in Japan doing the fire bombs and watching cities burn and it's affecting civilians fucking mind blowing to me like i can't wrap my head around that environment at all and when you think of war war fucking sucks like in my head i'm like war sucks this war war never never changes yeah war capitalism capitalism never changes but yeah so Meemaw always welcomed on

I think I might try to make that happen if it pleases the audience I think that actually that would be really cool friendly advice I actually in 2015 just a few months before my grandpa died of a heart attack I actually like set up a camera and filmed him and like asked him some

questions about his life. Yeah. And, uh, I'm really happy I did that. Cause like after he died, I cut up this video and played it at the funeral or no, not at,

not, it wasn't at the funeral. It was after the funeral, everybody came back to the house. The wake kind of thing. Yeah. And, uh,

you know, the, the dog that they had, his name was Zach. He like, you know, when somebody that they had his name was zach he like you know when somebody dies and like the dog doesn't know like where the owner is anymore yeah the the saddest thing was like when i was showing the rest of my family the video like zach the dog came up and was like looking around but i would say you should do it uh sooner rather

than later just from personal experience yeah Yeah, I mean, that's up to you guys. I think that the reason I brought it up on the podcast is because I know I've got to run in a second, but this is the first time I ever thought about doing that. I would love that. That is a completely different experience, and I guarantee we don't, unless the

audience is like, fuck that. I'm like, we're doing it anyways. Fuck y'all. Fuck you guys. Fuck you guys too, I guess. Show some goddamn respect to Oma. If the audience doesn't want Oma on, we're going to come to your house and we'll kill you.

Oma won't have to beat your ass. She'll just tell me to do it. These guys got a firearm or two and it's not just these puppies. They've been shrinking lately. I need to fucking get back into them. Yeah. Flex a little harder, bud. got a firearm or two and it's not just these puppies they've been shrinking lately i need to fucking get back oh have they yeah it's oh flex a little harder bud wow i'm stretching man i've been sitting here for a bit when you go back in the boxing gym i know you gotta start which way is north do you see my beach ball? Yo, you got it. You can outflash me with it too, bro.

Just pull the sleeve out. No. That's weird to me. To me. Why? I don't know. I'm a high-bun body now. I'm like a female.

I'm like, no, stop. Do you think you could beat me in arm wrestling? You probably could. I hope so. I'm putting money on your life. That guy knows all sorts of fucking shit. I know. I'm like, awkward. Praise. praise i hate it talk about cameras switch the subject no we have to get omaha out yeah autism we have to get omaha out we'll fly her first class i'll probably go back because she hates

flying because the last time i think she flew anywhere was in like the 70s back to the United States. So planes are different now. I'll probably go there and fly with her. Oh, yeah. That's what I was about to say. Can we escort her back? Right. All right, Oma, you're with us now.

Don't worry. We wanted to take her back to Germany because she wanted to see her hometown, but it was kind of sad almost. She recently decided she didn't really want to go because she's like it's so different i i won't it it's not the place i knew no it's just fair i mean it's been half a century yeah they let all the jews back in did you see that fucking it's like a screenshot that's like 15 years old but it's like a facebook post where it's uh it's like a girl posting like where are all the cute jewish boys in berlin and somebody's like a facebook post where it's uh it's like a girl posting like where are all the cute jewish boys in berlin and somebody's like i hate to tell you who's gonna tell her who's gonna

let her know like this is crazy but uh it is it is also wild to be that uneducated if you are in berlin imagine not asking or like asking that question unironically yeah knowing that that's not going to be the first response somebody makes well i guess people have different friend groups than we do what do you guys think is the most interesting aspect of world war ii like the the part of the war that you really uh get the uh the the tism tingles for dude i man i'll there is the nukes the the nukes the nukes and then nicks talk about the one guy that was captured, which I can't do it justice, but that one individual was captured in Japan, one of the pilots, and then they just question him about nukes. Oh, yeah. Do you know this story?

This dude knew nothing. He was just a military pilot. Knew fucking nothing. Tell us about the nicks. So they kept torturing him. And he was like, oh yeah, I know. We got a hundred of them. Yeah, hundreds. So that is part of why

the Japanese government were like, dude, what? Hundreds? Exact quote. The Japanese emperor Hirohito. Dude, what? The guy that was just trying to stay alive at the time? Yes, 100%.

And this is documented. Like, documented. They captured him. They interrogated him. He admitted, oh, I do know about the nuclear program. And then they were asking questions. They brought him to scientists. And scientists were like, I don't think you know shit.

Actually. And he was like, fuck fuck i don't want to die atoms neutrons electrons zeros and ones and they're like fuck they have hundreds of them what's your your favorite part of world war ii oh the the weapons being developed at the time fuck you took mine is that what you were going to talk about too this is well nerd what is the sternberg well you can you guys can talk about two different things because they also had the uh oh fuck they had the i'm skipping on the name that's why they have them in the in call of duty they're on gavir now the wonder weapons oh oh some like the crazy like german like yeah yeah like all those crazy german weapons that they were like telling people telling the public like when they

I think it was like 20 years ago. They found it in

Canada. It was a radio station, wasn't it? It was a weather station for Bonn. Well, Brandon's about to get out. I'll bounce out if you want to talk about this. I do want to hear about this. You get to pee?

Well, obviously, besides why the Jews suck and all that, the interesting reason to read Mein Kampf is to read the same words that brainwashed millions of people

to try and understand how the rhetoric worked. It's so fucking schizophrenic, though. It is. It's a dog shit book. What was their girl's name that was doing the the below it uh uh what was it what's her name hawk hawk tour no the the girl that was below that that was like this is fucking garbage oh dorothy thompson dorothy oh yeah yeah our girl dorothy was just just torn to pieces yeah yeah shit must not have seen it

yeah shouts out Dorothy Thompson I was too busy hating the Jews there goes my Congress run I disagree so Antarctica yeah because you're asking like what's some you know what was like yeah the most interesting yeah what's the most interesting thing and and something that i remembered that you did was uh yeah the nazis in antarctica just like doing the hollow earth theory stuff yeah the nazis believing that there was a hollow earth so there was something called the thule society which was like this occult nazi society they were trying to find the origins the whole purpose of it allegedly was that they were trying to find the origin of the aryan people the master race i'm sold sold already so there was a lot of like

symbolism that's where like all of the runes come from and the Black Sun. Heinrich Himmler was very, very big into this. And there was a belief within the society. So it was like a whole archaeological group that was part of the Thule Society. It's like the whole Indiana Jones shit when he'd be digging up and the Nazis were like, oh, we need to find the Ark of the Covenant so we can gain that power that type and Hitler was fully on board by the way on this yes yeah that's he just fully let that known full send and part of the belief was that the earth was hollow and at the north pole and the south pole there is an opening and you can go inside to another earth called hyper hyperborea and that's

the origin of the aryan people they're from inside the earth where there's another planet and uh so there's a conspiracy theory i made a youtube video on it not to self-plug this sounds like truth to me it certainly certainly definitely happened. The Earth is hollow. You've seen Godzilla vs. Kong, right? There's another planet. To reference another piece of scientific media. Have you seen the documentary? Godzilla vs. Kong.

Kong Skull Island. Well, they say at the start of the movie based on a true story. Sorry. Go on. So the theory is that they sent an expedition to go inspect whether or not there's a hollow earth. Maybe they did. Maybe they didn't. I don't know. There's no evidence of that. They definitely went to Argentina. But they had a whaling base.

The Nazis established a whaling base on Antarctica because they needed – they got cut off from their supply of butter from primarily i think england yeah that sounds fucking i don't know why this they got cut off from their supply of butter it's all about butter dude i can't believe it's not butter uh and in order to produce margarine the main like now we use fucking corn oil and that's a whole other thing but uh the main supply of artificial fats and oils at the time was whale oil. Like, what's the video game? Yeah, you're a gamer.

Oh, yeah. Quiz me. Yeah, where you're like a criminal or whatever, and it's like kind of a steampunk type world. Cyberpunk. And it's all about whale oil. Oh, about oil? Yeah. They're like whale.

It's like a whale oil world. Huh? And you have like superpowers. You can like shoot rats at people. Rats? Yeah, it came out like 10 years ago. Is it Dishonored? Is that the name of the game?

Never played Dishonored. Yeah, same. That could be it. It sounds like I don't. I think you're right. Swing and a miss. But they got cut off. Connor just made up a video.

He's like, you've never heard of the dystopian future with whale oil? Where you shoot rats as magic? I might have made that up. You could have. I've never played this on it, so you could be... It's only a nightmare. Very fever dream-ish. Like, no, the whales.

We get our power from the whales and you shoot rats out of your hands. That's how it happened, Dad. It's real. Let me yell sour, though. It's real. Let me yell at you. It sounds like a great gameplay mechanic. Rats! They just gnaw on you. Anyway.

Well, nobody played that enough to know what the fuck it was about. Nobody played that. Apparently it is Dishonored, you're right. Wait, you can shoot rats? All right, all right. Yeah, yeah! Hell yeah! I never played the game either. I just remember seeing my friend. Wait, you can shoot rats? Alright, alright. Hell yeah. I never played the game either. I just remember seeing my friend play it. You can shoot rats out of your hand.

You have two gamer cards now. I've given you mine because I don't deserve it. Amen. Now I can say the N-word. What? Wait, wait, wait. I do not endorse this political message. Nice. That's the N-word, right?

Yeah. Okay, how is it making it sure? Ninja. Ninja. I thought I stepped in. You were thinking it. After the racial and Jew talk. Yeah, not at all. Tightening my microphones.

Nervously kicking feet. There are ticks. Me stroking mustache. My microphone's crazy. Nervously kicking feet. I know. Everybody has their tics. Me stroking mustache. So Hitler found the monkeys in the middle of the earth. Yeah. So back to the Antarctica thing. Yeah, no, they got cut off from their supply of butter.

So they needed an artificial fat, which comes from whale oil, so they could produce margarine, which I guess you can't survive as a society unless you have something to spread on your toast. And then the Nazis moved down to Antarctica to establish a whaling base, or they were just kind of scoping it out. But two months after that, they invaded Norway, which has all of the whaling ports in the world.

That was no longer a concern they abandoned it uh the british had a base down in antarctica and they said it was so that they could observe argentina but it was to observe the nazis it was all it's a whole thing the earth's not hollow there's nothing going on down there it's very cold you can trust me i've been down there except for godzilla and kong actually kong is the only one down there because godzilla was up on the earth but he actually cycled through the no yeah no kong's down there there's there's i believe it the nazis were onto something that's where all the uh the kong people are yeah yeah the move i just hope the director's actually in Middle Earth filming Peter Jackson.

And he's like, no one believes me. Those VFX fucked all of it up. Why does no one believe me? I'm sorry. That one sucks so bad because you can never prove it. You can see the Kong there. I'm so sorry. Don't apologize.

The fact you keep circling back to the Nazis being correct is what I find most upsetting. Somebody's got to fight for him these days. Somebody has to stick up for the truth. So anyway, about that Wukong video game. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. What did you think of it? You played it yet? I haven't played it yet. I don't play video Wukong video game. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. What'd you think of it? You played it yet? I haven't played it yet.

I don't play video games. I go outside. Oh, okay. Can I give a... Get him the fuck out of here. Huge... King Trout came from Red Dead 2. King Trout?

That's his name online. Yeah, my name came from that video game. That's a good name. I also convinced Eli to play the game. Literally, I started playing it. I finished it. I know, and Eli was obsessed with it for like three months there. I learned how to spin revolvers from it.

Only three months? It was probably six. Do you guys want to know something? Okay, I might spill a little bit of a secret. Spill on the beans. I had plans to collab or talk to Roger Clark, the voice of Arthur Morgan,

for a video to promote an audiobook about Red Dead Redemption and its connections to cowboy history, but there's currently a strike going on so he can't do anything. Oh, fuck do anything yeah i forgot another strike started yeah there's another strike video game side yeah yeah video game side so like voice actors ai you

know they're they don't want their jobs to be replaced by ai not 100 certain on that but i think that's that's so it is what's their fear is because there's no way in their contract and if you've ever worked with corporation or hollywood style to save money they will literally be like hey we have his voice we have literally hours of like hundreds of hours of dialogue we can use and then we'll just replicate his voice for the video game on the next round so we don't have to pay that dude we just do this and then video game artists the hardest part is royalties or anything like that's non-existent in the video game space yeah so i was talking to this guy who's who was working with roger clark on this audiobook it's also like a physical book and we were talking about collabing which would oh my god i'd never

fucking fanboy harder i would have to like contain that you know try to refrain from doing all the Red Dead 2 references and like I don't get you don't get you no more howdy man I'm here for money howdy girl howdy girl

that's a good girl you're alright girl but um That's a good girl. That's a good girl. That's a good girl. You're all right, girl. So if this strike ends, there is a possibility I could do a really cool interview with him. Because he does the voice of this audio book. So it's a really cool thing to promote and collab with on. Anyways. In the character of Arthur Morgan? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hell yeah. and collab with on. In the character of Arthur Morgan? Yeah.

It's like a book about how Red Dead 2 ties in with actual cowboy history. Cowboy history is dope. Narrated by Arthur Morgan. That's the guy you want. That's a selling point, I think. But because of the strike,

obviously he has certain obligations to not... Make money. Well, yeah. He's not allowed to because he's a member of a union. Well, yeah, because he's sticking up for all the other guys. You know what I mean? That's an opinion you can have. Well, for him to go outside of that and say, fuck those people.

I want to go on this YouTuber's channel. No, I would not have him on those terms. Did you tell him to do it for free? What's that? Be like, do it for free what's that be like do it for free represent can we just pay these people to do something no that's what they're sticking up for yeah so union you gotta you gotta read the communist manifesto you're like damn it why am i in this cause well would you would you want a role like arthur morgan replaced by somebody no i mean qualified trust me like hollywood sucks as a whole i've

watched i've got to be part of that industry i know how fucking shady it is and then the flip side of ai is a lot a lot of people on strike suck at their job that's what sucks because you have the talented yeah but roger clark clearly does that dude so whatever he's sticking up for i'm on his side yeah and then it sucks it's like the other like 80 probably do suck at their job or the writer's strike was one of those weird ones where it was I'm not taking my scripts. When you read a lot of Hollywood scripts, you're like yeah, dog. You suck at what you do. Jesus fuck. You do not deserve money right

now. But then you have the top tier that actually... Encouraging alcoholism. The top tier actually deserves to be paid. I noticed your drink is empty, good sir. I just need some whiskey. I i'm sorry i feel like we just completely derailed your whole nazi antarctica no i don't know that was done we're on it okay okay yeah welcome to unzub yeah well just that's just the nazis yeah you really want to say

nazis go back no no no he's like sorry we derailed the Nazi conversation. It's just my ADHD. Let's go back to Nazis. We could do an entirely new podcast just about Red Dead Redemption 2. Fucking all day long, dog. You guys beat it? What ending did you get? The good one, obviously. I got the worst one.

We found that out. I was like, what? I was like, ooh. That scene, though, however, when he goes back for the you went back for the money uh how do you mean cody go la la la as jack well yeah no no no we'll keep it as vague actually it's hard spoiler no no no no spoilers actually we'll stop right there you gotta gotta go for the money. All you'll know is that there's a decision at some point to go back for the money. That's it. But that doesn't really matter.

Oh, I thought it was entirely based off of your standing. It's part of it. Yeah, that's part of it. So there's four endings. Because I got the worst one. Yeah, you went back for the money and then you were an asshole. Yeah. Is that what determines it? That's it. That's the only yeah we can't we can't

ruin this that's all i'm gonna say can't so we haven't got the ending yet i haven't been there all i'm all i'm gonna say is i died in the rain as cody i will say you're in that hard part because you just started and it does take that little the mechanics are weird and they don't explain it but once you open that world up jesus but i i'm so glad this year was the first last year going into this year was the first time i've ever played it because it was a experience that i actually finished a video game this story is so fucking good so good i haven't also the side stories too like you have you did you guys do that what's your three level of side quests well we'll only spoil like like random you know side quest shit nothing nothing main plot just because like to rob somebody else of that enjoyment dude the circus

the circus quest was so funny the did you do it yeah we. You got to follow the like. Dude, oh, it's a dog dressed up as like a zebra, dude. Or a horse as a zebra. Everything. And then that's all I'm going to say. It's like that classic rock star like fucking shenanigans that's so perfect. The story of that game is so good. The girl I was dating at the time, every time like a main story cut scene would come on, she would ask me to like call her into the room so she could watch it like a fucking movie it's so i learned how to spin

revolvers and toss them and do all tricks with revolvers because of that metal gear solid like metal i started playing that i was like i need to buy two revolvers and i was like metal gear solid and it started spinning now i'm very good at spinning and tossing revolvers adhd or all i mean you try to emulate the things you think are cool right you're so fucking gangster that's why yeah that's why suck dick where are your tattoos they're on the way he ordered they're coming in yeah like the voice actor you were talking about who's doing, or, you know, that you're working with right now. Roger Clark.

I haven't talked to him directly. I talked to the guy who's working with Roger Clark on this audio book. Okay. And it's a physical book. He definitely does the voice of Arthur because he has his own voice. And then when he's, like, doing the character, he, like, puts on a voice. But the gentleman whose name I can't remember, Chase, please put his name up on the screen.

He's a wonderful voice actor who does the voice of john marsden that's his voice that's john's voice yeah he's from like nowheresville indiana and he's just like i watched an interview and it was like all the voice actors and they're going through and they're like getting into character and everything and then it cuts to the guy who plays john he's like yeah i'm going on and i'm gonna play john marsden it's like okay that's just his voice they found a guy who had the perfect natural voice the best thing about it too i think uh if memory serves he did the like rockstar rockstar loves to recruit like unknown people because like they people because there's no hyper buzz around some person that nobody knows. There's no chance of them spoiling their upcoming project. Very smart, actually.

Very smart. So they found, I also can't remember his name off the top of my head, which I feel bad about. His name's probably John Marston. I think it's like Spencer or something. I don't think it's Spencer. White Hoff,. White Hoff. Something White Hoff. Anyways, I think Rockstar recruited him to voice in Red Dead Redemption 1.

And then he just went back to his actual humble farm life. And then they came back to him five or six years later. It was like, hey, we're doing Red Dead Redemption 2. You want to come back? And then he came back to him like five or six years later. It was like, hey, we're doing Red Dead Redemption 2. You want to come back? And then he came back. And he's like an actual. He's just a guy. Yeah, like an actual cowboy kind of dude.

Modern cowboy. It was like a video of him. It was a documentary of them. The making of, I'm sure. That's what you're referencing. I think so. He's sitting on his front porch smoking a cigarette. And he's like, yeah, they asked me to come back and be john marzen again well like the guy who played trevor in uh gta 5 like he hates it you know about that i do yeah

he hates do you want to know a fun fact about me if this this might this is going to trigger a large part of unsubs gaming audiences that i have grand theft have played GTA 5 twice. Two gaming sessions. One when it first came out. The day it came out, I played the first mission. And then a second time was for a collab with a different YouTube channel. And I've never played GTA 5

outside of those two instances. Really? Yeah. Eli's gesturing that he's never played it at all. Dude, Raiden. Raiden's favorite game is Grand Theft Auto. We've had talks on... Raiden started playing that at the age of

eight and I'd be like, hey, you're borrowing cars. We had a whole thing. He's like, okay, daddy. I was like, you say please when you pull somebody out of their car. Ask him to borrow it. You're trying to teach him yeah yeah i was like yeah like colin curtis is like fuck he really likes his homeboy can beat that entire game i didn't know this until um like a few years ago he came he was like oh and i have to get to this part and he

knows every fucking autism he knows everything on grand theft auto so he will be up to a portion of the game to unlock a specific portion but then you ask him hey what's this or the end he knows every portion of that game to a t but his favorite thing still to this day and he will do it for hours at a time he collects vehicles parks them on the train track and watches the train hit them and explode. Well, who doesn't love that? He just does that for hours. He's like Oh, Ryan likes trains. Weird.

They're in that perfect line. Grand Theft Auto. Yeah. You're saying you're doing all this. Did you grow up reading cowboy books or anything? Auto, yeah. Did you, like, you're saying you're doing all this. Did you grow up, like, reading cowboy books or anything? Nah, man. I mean, so I live in Washington, right? But up north.

Yeah, Washington State. I always have to clarify because of fucking D.C. Those plebs. Weird, you have to clarify. Well, I mean, when you say Washington, people naturally want to. But so I didn't grow up with cowboy books. Well, I mean, when you say Washington, people naturally want to. So I didn't grow up with cowboy books, but on my dad's side of the family, they lived up in a city called, not a city, a town called Linden,

which is like the city. If you think of Washington geography, it's basically the city right before the Canadian border. Yeah, right up there. Very small town. I think the movie Footloose is based on linden because there was actually a time where they weren't allowed to dance on sundays there it's it's actually fun fact about linden uh i believe this is true correct me if i'm wrong chat but um in linden out of any towns in the united States of America, it has the most churches per square mile of any town. Wait, you couldn't fucking dance on Sundays?

Yeah. Well, I mean, dancing is of the devil. So if you dance, you're dancing with the devil, you know? Dude, I love old. The further we get, it's like, man, we're kind of retarded back but but to answer your question uh i didn't grow up like with cowboy books but i did grow up with grandparents who lived a more rural lifestyle like who like my grandfather had to like he dropped out of the fourth grade to work on the farm so he never got more than a fourth grade education but he was very fucking smart despite that how old are you uh 30

okay yeah so i'm old as i'm old as shit man but you did grow up watching like tombstone and like i watched tombstone a bit yeah yeah i just remember like every sunday my father would put on tombstone or like something like that like john wayne like yeah yeah yeah old cowboy movies yeah yeah uh Fucking all day long. Yeah. John Wayne. It was the best time ever just watching that. God damn it. Red Dead Redemption 2 is like every John Wayne cowboy movie just in video game form.

And you control the story. Do you want to shoot this person or save him? It's the triangle. I saw a meme today. It's the triangle i saw a meme today is it it's a triangle and it was like men are on one of these three corners and it's cowboy samurai pirate it's the cowboy fantasy i'm on cowboys and pirates i'm on samurai and cowboys so you love ghost of tsushima fucking dog sushi ghost sushi ghost we've had done episodes about sushi ghosts back in the day.

Dude, sushi ghost? I have a 15-year-old son now, and I raise him like John Wayne. He hits him. No, no, yeah, exactly. I strike him constantly. You remember that scene where he's like... Son, I want you to grow up to be racist. The specific scene i can't remember what movie it is with john wayne where he's like you can't swim you can swim now it's like that whole kogan uh backdrop and was it mr nanny or what was the movie

where's the backdrop they captured on camera on accident wait do none of you know this it was filming when hulk hogan's like mr nanny or future cop or whatever fucking hulk hogan movie it was he's riding the harley and you know i'm talking about with the dog yeah and then it's a random stranger in the background they didn't know this is a dude in the background like chucking a dog in the river yeah you've not done bro oh my god now you've not yeah this is a whole thing uh god what movie was it no no holds bar no dog dog scene was a steer in steering Hulkamania when he was the best person on the planet wait is it no boy you know shout out show for being our

our database or Jamie our Jamie Jamie pull that yeah Jamie pull it up it's like a cutscene and they've missed part. Wait for it in the background. Wait, someone just chucks a dog? Into the ocean, yeah. What the fuck? Mr. Nanny. Mr. Nanny. It's a full-grown dog, too. Yeah, that's still right there. It's just a doggrown dog, too. That's still right there.

It's just the dog in charge. I just like that make. That's not intentional? No, that was a fucking random occurrence. Okay, to be honest, that dog probably loved doing that. Oh, yeah. He's probably super stoked.

He landed the movie, and the guy fell back in the ocean. How do you miss that? Easy. You're like, Hulk looks good next. It's on the editor. Circling back to Hitler. He kind of reminds me of Dutch

in a lot of ways, right? So about that Chinese game you're sponsored by. Tiananmen Square Massacre. Go on. We can go into Black Mif Wukong. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, I do.

Okay, first off. We're canceling each other. Let's go. Black Wukong. What is it? Oh, my God. He's so racist. I know.

Sorry. African American Wukong. Sorry. The best part of that is how they led up the game. They released a trailer four years ago, said shit, and then two weeks ago, I think, they were like, oh yeah, it comes out in two weeks.

Yeah, yeah. And then the player base, it broke all the records, like Steam players, active players, everything. Second place, PUBG is still like the number one, like most concurrent players on Steam for any video game.

PUBG is like three million, but the number one like most concurrent players on steam for any video game pubg is like three million but the fact that like some some game that wasn't really as hyped as single player game single player game also um like people were i mean we all saw the hype with power world if like you were yeah in with the gaming community at all. Power World. I played the fuck out of Power World, dude. That didn't rank as high as this in player base. No shit. In fairness, the Chinese, they've got a lot of player base. Well, whether or not they are forced to play this video game

or they genuinely want to. Play Wukong now! You play the Wukong game! Play the monkey! Ho, ho, ho! Okay, okay. White monkey gang. Yeah, play black monkey gang.

It's pretty decent as far as I've played. There's definitely some very funny, interesting controversies around it, though. I haven't heard the controversies. You haven't? No. Well, they sent out a letter to all the content creators.

Go on. Oh, yeah, yeah. They sent out a letter to all the content creators. Go on. Oh, yeah, yeah. They sent out a letter, a list of do's and don'ts for Black Myth Wukong, for content creators that got an early code. I was not one of them, so I'm not bound by anything. Do tell. On the do's and don'ts, it you got the list pull it out it's a the do's or the don'ts far outweigh the do's yeah yeah let me just give me one sec please tell me it's in

broken english because i mean the gameplay is like um dark souls yeah yeah like the dark soul soul souls like souls like sorry souls like dude i played demon souls for the ps2 i i or ps3 three i was i was about no i had the korean version oh shit the FOA, shout out to Fire's Heaven. They were like, this game's hard as shit. And I was like, this is... Did you play that before Dark Souls came out? Korean or Japanese? Yes.

I played that. Oh, my God. Dude, gamer street cred, like, maximum. You played Demon's Souls before Dark Souls? Yeah, I've had the Korean version before it hit America. Korean or Japanese? Korean. That is fucking based.

Is it Korean? No, Japanese game. But they released... He doesn't even know the difference between them. before it hit america or japanese korean that is like based is it korean no japanese game but they released i can get this korean no the difference i had to get the korean version that worked on the ps3 there's a weird fuck now i actually forget how versus in something like that yeah now i'm like wait why did i buy that it wasn't released or released in japan or then korea before america we didn't get it and everyone fires the heaven board was like yo this game's fucking like hard oh you got it early hard yeah before it came to america so i was like oh i'm gonna try it the guys there that's how i got bitcoin 2010

it's like these are my og homies so we did that and i was was like, oh, played it. I was like, this game sucks. This is fucking, it's amazing. Like, holy, it's hard good. I was about to get him. Good, good, good hard. Souls-like games. Good hard. So quick anecdote. This is the thumbnail I have for this.

This is a good thumbnail. It's a good thumbnail. If you couldn't tell by the amount of laughter. It fucks me up. Okay, so the Black Myth Wukong developers, God bless China. We love what they're doing over there with the communism and everything. I brought the manifesto over for a reason. I mean, also just side note, I didn't just shave this goatee because it makes me incredibly attractive to women. But I'm trying to, you know, look like Lenin.

Anyways. Bring your book back out. Anyways. So the funny part about it, you said broken English. Do's and don'ts. Wow. Don'ts. Do's.

Enjoy the game. Do not. Okay. Thank you for telling me to enjoy the game. Yeah. The do's and don'ts of this game. First off, enjoy it. Enjoy game right now second the dunce okay well surprisingly the game is actually pretty like pretty decent not necessarily

mind-blowing but it's pretty cool to get like this kind of cut of chinese culture in a video game form i i equated it to like the the Witcher series being a vessel for Norse and Polish mythology and kind of like you know having representation for that sort of thing and being able to you know or like the the Souls game with the Japanese Sekiro second thank you yeah yeah yeah okay for just quick reference I had the Korean version because that was the first one that had English subs to it and that came out April 28 2009 that reference. I had the Korean version because that was the first one that had English subs to it. And that came out April 28, 2009. That is why I had the Korean version.

He's not racist! You had me confused. I was like, why the fuck did I buy the Korean version? The Japanese game was only in Japanese. Okay. I was like, did I? You gaslit me. I just want to take a moment to point out how fucking based somebody is for playing Demon's Souls before Dark Souls.

Because Demon's Souls was like hugely underrated at the time. And Dark Souls popularized it. And I was one of those people that played Dark Souls and was like, oh, there's another one? And then I went back to Demon's Souls. I liked it before it was cool. Yeah, exactly. He's a paragon. I was fucking gay.

Tell us about the dance. Yeah, yeah paragon. I was fucking gay. Tell us about the don'ts. Okay, back to the don'ts. I'll do it all in Chinese. By the way, the spelling mistake is made twice. It is not a one-off. At least they're consistent. Do's and don'ts. Okay, do not insult other influencers or players.

Don't insult the people. The influencers are that bad. I mean, that's fair. I can get down with that. There's no multiplayer voice chat, so I don't really have an opportunity for that. That's fine. You didn't grow up during modern warfare, too, but it's okay. Do not use any offensive language

or humor. Don't say the cuss word! That's bad! Okay, next one. Thank you, Eli, for translating. I got you all so they don't want us using words like and shit and dick nipples and shit like that and that also why in japanese or in chinese why is very strong word and then well just to clarify and i can send you guys a picture of the do's and don'ts but just to clarify this was a picture of the do's and don'ts. But just to clarify, this was a

list of recommendations for content creators that they sent early codes to. Trying to control a part of the narrative around Black Myth Wukong. By the way, pretty decent game. It's worth checking out. 7 out of 8 out of 10.

The third dance is do not include politics, violence, nudity, feminist propaganda, fetishization, and other content that instigates negative discourse. Don't let the white lady be strong. Women down, stupid bitches. Make sure you also don't talk about the negative discourse. Negative discourse. But also women, no go. about the negative discourse. Negative discourse. But also, women, no go.

But the best part. The best part. Okay. Cody's face right now. Yeah, yeah. No, no, I'm not going to say the law of force. Oh, there's a lot of jokes to make. Trust me. I make them in my video.

That's coming out soon. Probably before the podcast. I just like it was like racism, feminism, and discourse. Yeah. No, no, no. So the next one. Do not use trigger words such as

quarantine or isolation or COVID-19. Those are trigger words. Are you guys triggered right now? I am so triggered. COVID-19 did Those are trigger words. Are you guys triggered right now? I am so triggered. COVID-19 did not come from China. It did not come from the bat.

Move on to next point. Wukong, very good game. Very positive. White people like it. America like it. You are being very racist. I'm probably Asian. I'm Asian, so I'm good. That probably Asian. So I'm good. That's the only reason I...

He's ambiguous about it. What do you think he was? Just racist. I don't assume. You couldn't tell based on the shape of his skull? I just think you were so caught up. Let me take some measurements real quick. This guy's not into phrenology.

I'm like, he's going hard on the Chinese accent. Okay, but, but, but. So Mexican, Asian, Native American, which I did not know. I got that like whole 23 in me back then. You got all the passes. I was like 22%. Please have a child. Okay, okay, but. You got all the passes. I was like, 22%. Please have a child. Okay, okay.

And then my white son. So just a reminder, do not use trigger words such as quarantine or isolation or COVID-19. And you know what this means, boys? You know what they didn't mention? What's that? Go on. Well, I'm going to say it. I'm going to say it.

Looks like Tiananmenmen square massacre and winnie the pooh is back on the menu boys let's go black myth wukong wait cody have you seen a trailer for it yeah it looks great dude it looks absolutely fucking gorgeous yeah the graphics are really really good have you seen it yet no dude oh dude trout like for the sheer fact that they did no marketing and then two weeks before the launch was like it comes out in two weeks by the way i think they had uh they might have had one trailer a year ago at the xbox game showcase because i remember but like not much else besides like oh here's like a more official trailer you're like i gotta pee again yeah go go when cody started his crazy business of podcasting you know what he didn't

That's Japanese. Oh yeah, I can't do that.

That Chinese actually gotta go high or pitch. Gotta go to the high pitch. The high pitch. You got to go to the high pitch. The high pitch. You got the H2O. You drinking a white crock. Okay, white man. You go, look at you, dressed like twin over there.

Got the white skin. Got the white shirt. Got the blue jean. You need to unbutton one button. Match his chest hair, you know. There we go. All six of my chest hairs, bro. Uh-oh.

Borrow some from him. Grew it on. We didn't plan this out. Actually, we did call each other this morning. We're like, Send pictures in the mirror. You wearing your white shirt today? Yeah, I'm wearing my white shirt today, too.

How tubbed up are you right now, bro? Dude, the Wukong, but I will say the Wukong story is fucking. All the mythologies from back in the day are so gangster. I'm like, yeah, this is what we need more of. Retellings of it. And actually studios coming out. Now, will I play Chinese games?

Probably not so much because they still restrict. Even World of Warcraft. They re-skinned a lot of the the chinese version of world of warcraft is different than what we play really yeah they can't show the bodies they can't show skeletons big no-no dude china's actually been kind of on fire with recent games like blackman the wukong it's really good and also also marvel rivals you were saying that one's actually good that one's that that is the that replaces the overwatch that has been missing from my life like when overwatch 2 came out there was like a void of like the hero shooter and marvel rivals like yes i was sponsored by them but but it's actually a

good video like they're not paying me to say that to say this no it's like an actually good video game and they're gonna unlike overwatch 2 they're not gonna gatekeep fucking new heroes they're all free at release which is like i was a big cod fan i played the show warzone like warzone and warzone 2 i smashed those are my those were my jams when I was playing them. Then I stepped away from gaming. It was really hard. And your life significantly got worse after you stepped away from gaming. I almost became a statistic in the veteran community. It was hard.

Dave the Diver. I'm sorry, bro. He's going to play Dave the Diver. He was like, holy shit. Did you see that too? I checked it out. He kind of got me sold on it. I saw the reviews in the footage. He was like, oh yeah, it out i like like he he kind of got me sold on it i saw the reviews in

the in the footage he was like oh yeah it's kind of like it's like 10 10 on steam right now dave the diver and then how many reviews at 10 10 i think i think 97 of the reviews on steam are positive and that's like a hundred thousand hundred thousand reviews 97 positive like a 10 out of 10 100,000? 100,000 reviews. Wow. 97% positive. Like a 10 out of 10 on Steam, I feel like I could be wrong, but that seems like unheard of. And then they have 97,000 reviews or 100,000 reviews? 100,000 at 97% positive. And accounting for trolls, maybe like just shitting on the game because everybody likes it. Maybe you got an extra 1% or 2%.

So that's more like 98, 99 a single a single dude or not no that was animal well but like a small team worked on that game and it cody had cody's huge into cooking like that is his fucking forte oh yeah oh my boy can cook let him cook and actually exclusive on pepper box literally we just started the show with our boy Cody on PepperBox. Cody's the only one I eat, and I'm like, fuck you on how good this tastes. What is food though, other than shit fuel?

You cook like my uncle, except you don't dash your cigarette into it. Oh, we don't use MSG. MSG very bad. Isn't that what turns the frogs gay? Welcome to Let Him Cook. I straight up know i'm gonna have a terrible reaction to this he can cook and not just opinions on the internet some real fucking

food but i was like yeah you fish with a harpoon gun you swim and then you run a sushi store and it is fantastic you're just i like mindless games at this point in my life where i don't have to learn a goddamn thing i just i want to sit down and i want to play a game red dead thank you for that that was the exception where i was like i gotta learn everything holy shit this world's expensive didn't do the prologue or the epilogue i was like no don't fuck no you you take over as Jack and you're like, or John. It's like six hours.

Yeah. He didn't. No. You go to the Mexico part and it's like, who cares? Wait, are you talking about Red Dead 1 or Red Dead 2? You didn't play the epilogue?

No. Get back on that shit, man. Get back on that shit. Are you kidding? It leads. Oh my God. It makes Red Dead 1 even more tragic i've never played one i can give me your fucking gamer track right now bro you fucking well i'll only take half

of it because you did beat red dead 2 so what about my call my demon souls or dark souls actually okay okay okay i got a full card back yeah you got it all back. Thank you. I got my card back. No, no, no. Real shit. Finish the epilogue, play Red Dead 1 because if you haven't beat Red Dead 1,

like the coolest thing, one of the coolest things about the Red Dead Redemption duology, I guess, because there's two games, is you can play them in either order and the story is just as impactful.

If you play the first game, you kind of know how the second game ends, but you don't know how you just as impactful if you play the first game you kind of know how the second game ends but you don't know how you get there if you play the second game you don't know how the first game ends and then you get there funny story actually they got a bunch of shit for not having because um uh john wasn't the main character in two because whatever happened yeah and all those people turned out to be retarded because Arthur Morgan was the choice and you still get to play

as John Marston. Cody, everyone hated Arthur when it was trailer and you're like, you can't play with John Marston. This is going to be bullshit. And then everyone, literally everyone's opinion was like the biggest 180 in the history of 180s on opinions. This is going to be bullshit. And then literally everyone's opinion was like. The biggest 180 in the history of 180s on opinions.

I was wrong. John, really cool dude. Arthur, greatest character ever in video game history. To the point where there's a debate. There's a debate. A lot of people will actually argue now that Arthur Morgan is a better protagonist than John. Oh, 100%. Dude, he raised fucking Jack. He's a father figure to Jack.

Remember? Cody's like, I wish I played this. No spoilers, but there is a debate to be had there because. Both raised each other, some might say. They have turning points. Well, then the one mission I refused to play because afterwards That starts happening? That's when I stop playing.

I know. I will say, feel free to cut any of this garbage that you think is garbage, you know, or too much. But one of the coolest things about Red Dead Redemption 2 is that it flips the strongman protagonist hero on its head. So you probably noticed this. You might not have explicitly thought of it. How do you mean?

Wait, wait, wait. What you you mean? Wait, wait, wait. What you just did. Wait, wait, wait. What you know. How far have you gotten? How far have you gotten in Red Dead 2? Not too far. Connor, what did you just do?

I don't know. What he just did. Are you saying emotionally or physically? I don't want to spoil it. Okay. But. Tony, plug your ears. No, whisper in his ears.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whisper in his. So the traditional male protagonist who's, like, strong or, like, who starts off weak and becomes strong flips it on its entire head. Okay, we got it. We got it. Yep. Weaker and weaker. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Yes.

Which is, like, really compelling, right? Normally it's like, oh. It doesn't fucking happen. You get strong like it's a perfect representation because it's the antithesis of um like edge of tomorrow and it is the antithesis of edge of tomorrow because you're like oh any movie it's like oh i have to overcome this how do i overcome this my character starts off weak he you know he learns weak. He learns how to be a strong man. But it's like it's the opposite in Red Dead 2.

It's so fucking compelling and I think every guy can kind of relate to that. Everybody can relate to that process. You play the love story side arc? Which one? Oh, with the letter girl?

With Arthur's girl? Oh, with the, oh, the one. Yeah, the letters. The girl. Oh, oh. Yeah. With Arthur's girl? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, Cody, you, oh, Cody, you need to go home and beat this. You gotta get on this, man. I know. Everybody play Red Dead Redemption 2 right now.

That is the moral of the story. I hate, I fucking hate, I am actually glad I waited so long and I'm glad I played it in 2023 into 2024 because it took me six months to beat that fucking game time and the side quest you will just get on the side quest i was like i want to build that satchel to hold 99 of every object by god did i do that i was like okay this is really cool and then i didn't get a finish the side quest with the old man that's in the hut that becomes his friend. I didn't because it was too far in the game. I was like, fuck!

Or the people building the house in Act 1. I didn't get to finish that one. I was like, fuck! Dude. You got to start another playthrough, my guy. I know. Play the fucking game, Eli. I'll play it.

Dude, Cody. Oh, my God, dog. I convinced Eli to play it the first time I was on the podcast. And I did. And I was at his best. He would text me at like 3 a.m. And he would be like, dude, this fucking game rules. And then I found Connor's ending.

I was like, man, that ending. He was like, what? I was like, wait, what ending did you have? And then he told me. I was like, watched all the endings. I was like, you got the worst. I was a piece of shit. Yeah, Connor was like, wait, what ending did you have? And then he told me. I was like, watched all the endings. I was like, you got the worst of shit, huh? I was a piece of shit. Yeah, Connor was like, fuck you.

I bet you felt awful. I did. I genuinely, like, that was a really, like, I felt very bad. You probably felt like Anakin after he killed Mace Windu. Like, what have I done? No, I'm a huge fucking Red Dead Redemption fan because I was big in Red Dead Redemption 1 and the scene

careful I don't care he'll never play it it's a 20 year old video game which one? Red Dead Redemption 1 oh 1 yeah you can play it I think they might be remastering it but when you first ride into Mexico and it plays, I can't remember the artist's name,

and I feel like a piece of shit. He had a song in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, which is a weird thing. But he has a song. It's like on acoustic guitar, and it's like, Step in front of a runaway train just to feel alive again. And it plays as you're riding into Mexico as the sun is rising at the beginning of the first game. And that was like the first time I was playing a video game

and felt an emotion. I was like, oh, these can make you feel emotions. You felt something deeper. Yeah. It made me think thoughts related to real life. And then he got to unshaken. Unshaken? What's that?

You don't remember the... May I stand unshaken? Oh, that part. At the end of the game. You, Cody, you like very rarely in video games. Metal Gear Solid was the first. That's why I joined the military. I know that is the opposite of what it represents.

But I still was like, I want to do war. I want to do combat. I want to do all of this because of that. Hideo Koajima was like that's not what it meant and then he blocked you on twitter yeah i do i was so sad i was like i named my kid after did he really no he didn't know god fuck i've met hideo i got a picture with him oh okay i was like why are you wearing a shirt yeah i gotta meet him at an after party like five gamer cards at this rate, bro.

That's why my son's named Raiden. Metal Gear Solid. And then finding out Liquid Snake's Eli, I was like, this guy goes fucking complete, dog. This is all I needed in my life. Yes. But that was the game. Xenogears was another game that had me feel emotion.

If you've never played Xenogears, that is PS1. Very hard to get in a JRPGpg at our age it's very grindy very fucking grindy you go back and you're like story still aged very well and it's really cool to read it because the japanese are like look this will do great in america and then the american translator is like you're fighting God in the 90s. I don't think this is going to go over well. And they're like, but why? Okay, so you're fighting God. Like, literally, there's a boss named God.

But like Adam and Eve fell and you find them in the garden eating. Yeah, that makes it worse. My God. Name of something else. Better than my opinion. That's like. Deus. It means God in Latin and land yeah that works and they restructured everything you're fighting angels and the catholic religion like for

a 98 game based as shit you're like wow you guys went hard for 1998 and it was competing with final fantasy 7 at the time which is even more ballsy at that point well squaresoft made it both oh that was like the competition both released at the same time and it's why i'm like i fucking just young eli love video games and played the show older eli doesn't have time the point is cody god you've got to play Red Dead Redemption 2. And you've got to finish the epilogue. And you've got to play Red Dead 1. So you guys want to know something funny?

I don't know when you want to close this out. But one funny fact is that I played Red Dead Redemption 1. I beat it. And I've been getting... Stop bragging. I played the first one. I'm kind of a big deal. Look me up on the Actman. I'm kind of a big deal. Look me up.

I'm the act man. I post dog shit takes on video games. But so I had gotten a lot of requests to play Red Dead 2. And I was like, you know what? This would be fun. I'm going to stream my entire playthrough of Red Dead 2. And I did that. And I knew people were gonna try to like

like trolls would come in and try to post spoilers which they did and so what i told my audience to do was like hey guys those of you that have played red dead 2 and you know how it ends if somebody posts real spoilers just flood the chat with fake spoilers so i don't know what the to believe and that kept me that kept me safe so someone would post like what I look back on as an actual spoiler and they would be like dude I can't believe Dutch made out with Arthur

in that one scene that was a good scene yeah yeah exactly Tahiti you remember when he came it was great what plan what plan Dutch Tahiti! You remember when he came? It was crazy. What plan? What plan, Dutch? Tahiti?

Timbuktu? And then he bought it because they were stuck on an island. Fucking crazy. I will say that the random encounters in the game are the hardest part because you're trying to do good the entire time. You don't know when you're

doing good. Yeah. Or you'll't know when you doing good Yeah, or you're like a hello guy. What's up? How do you doing? I'm gonna say the horse freeze that or the horse kicks the guy and then you're standing there There's the dead body and the guy rides by he's like you kill somebody like I had a horse named General. And I raised this horse and my girlfriend at the time and I would ride this horse around. I didn't know that the fucking horses in the game, when they die,

they die for real in real life. They die-die. Unless you have Horse Reviver. Or a load. A hot load. But you might be going back a few hours if you haven't saved. Do you want to know why I stopped playing Red Dead Redemption 2?

You got me playing it. No. I killed everything. Jesus Christ. He's annihilating. I killed the horses. I killed every man in the first town I went to. If only there were children in those games. I killed the police that showed up.

I killed everything. Do you want a hug? I think he needs a hug. Cody killed the last person. He's like, and game over. He uninstalled it. If he finishes Red Dead 2, he's gonna get the

fucking bad ending. No, not 1000%. Nothing could stop me i killed everything everything i don't know if you guys know i was like a cs like cs go uh like professional back in the day it's like cs 1.6 i just i just killed yeah exactly headshot headshot headshot like they keep coming the horses the the cops no one could stop me no shot this game's boring i just keep killing these waves of enemies you're really a cs go pro or close to it or yeah. Do back in the day. Gamer card achieved. You can say the N-word now.

That is not what I said. That is not what I said. He said it. You heard it here first, folks. If the N-word is ninja, then yes. No, the other one with the other letters. No, no, no, no, no, no. Nice. Nice.
