I'm like, i'm so wet around i'm like no please don't i need a tourniquet soaked cody hi everyone welcome to the unsubscribed podcast i'm joined today by eli double tap habitual line crosser chris cappy with task

and purpose brandon herrera and myself donut operator thank you for tuning in what's up bitches happy veterans day is this the veterans day episode yeah oh yeah that's awesome oh happy operator. Thank you for tuning in. What's up, bitches? Happy Veterans Day. Is this the Veterans Day episode? Yeah. Oh, fuck yeah. That's awesome. Oh. Happy Veterans Day. I'm glad that we're all veterans here. Fuck off. I can't believe every single one of us is. Some more decorated than others.

You just got a purple heart. Shut the fuck up. He's got two of them. A double. I wasn't supposed to be on this episode. I wasn't supposed to be on this episode I wasn't supposed to be on this episode we all serve in different ways how did you fucking convince me to go on two of these this is a

trap door trap bitch is better than stay who was that it was Andy Andy Stumpf I think oh yes he was arguing yeah it was on Twitter. Somebody was just like, oh, you should have double Purple Heart

recipient Brandon Herrera on the podcast, blah, blah, blah. And he just replies dead serious, what the fuck is a double Purple Heart recipient? And I'm like, guys, this is going too far. You have jumped the shark, and this is now becoming a problem.

So what did the last AI say you had? It said you had two purple hearts. I don't know, man. I think I saw a Legion of Merit in there as well. I think it probably is best at this point to just double down on it. Just actually steal Valor? Yes. Take all of the Valor.

You like the fucking AI picture? Oh, yeah. just go yeah just actually steal Valor yes take all of the Valor and be like the fucking AI picture oh yeah dude chat GTP when it makes images of him one of these days

you'll know how to say GPT GPT you do it a different way every time it's one of my favorite TGT chat GPT

TTT chat TBI just like he is a motherfucker it gives him dog tags no matter what that's it's like awesome Chat GPT, TTT. Chat TBI. It gives him dog tags no matter what. That's awesome. I love it so much. I never even wore dog tags. That's how you know it's fake.

Because mine were in my boot. Oh, no. Because if you get blown, that's... They want to know whose leg belongs to... Yep. It's actually true. We knew ours on a belt loop into the back pocket because if they get caught in any of the moving parts on the system,

it'll like, and you're dead. It'll pull you in. Yeah. That was, well, funny you say that because that was one of my favorite parts of, I think when Trump dropped the first Moab there in Afghanistan, that was what they said is that, like judging off the pieces we found,

it was approximately 126 people. I love it. Do what? There's a lot of paste. Dude. It's like we've got 87 legs, 42 arms. Like, what the fuck? What does Nick say?

Like, the U.S. is the best at bad guy to baloney medicine or something like that? I mean, that makes sense. I helped call in an airstrike once, and the 30-mic mic from the AH-64 just turns them into pieces. And then one of the squads had to go out and pick those people up, and that's probably how that kind of number gets determined. They're like, we got this many legs. We identified a dude by cutting his hand off, putting him in the hide system.

Happy Veterans Day. Yeah. 76,000 pounds of bad guys. Based on the head. You're measuring him in poundage? How many? Divided by 85 pounds apiece. Depends on how much they weigh.

We'll do an average. This is fun. Yeah, it's Veterans Day, so we all get a uh this is the the big one put together should be everyone's already thank you for buying so many t-shirts holy shit we got those numbers just as i was in the bathroom y'all are kicking ass and taking names already yeah oh we just announced that like today yeah like a couple hours ago so i think we raised like 110 000 for autism charity i did see that one that was that's fucking amazing i would love to if we can smash that a good goal would be to double that i would love to see us do that because

we're working with some great veteran charities this month dude i'm so excited and just all all across the board you have all these amazing stories and then all the individuals that are coming like even you guys just coming uh thank you for coming yes i was like bringing my share of autism to this so and i mean that what flavor of autism does everyone here have the retard my my i i'm every video is about the military for some reason. I cannot figure out why. Military-tism, missile-tism, gun-tism. Police-tism. Police-tism? Brutality.

That's called a kink. Play that level of Quake. I have the ism, guys. Autism? No, racism. It's like, no, Cody, no! Oh my, everyone fucks it up. no racism there's an ism we've been called it you do this I do He's like, oh, I'm sharing Cody's friend. How you doing, Chris? He's like, uh-oh. Oh, shit, yeah, we can talk about that.

Fucking fuck. That was, yeah. Both of you, shut the fuck up and just let me roll with it. Both on Pepperbox now. These are the new content creators for this amazing adventure that we are slowly figuring out as we go 700 videos seven holy shit no oh my god doctor doctor doctor doctor well it's kind of like the new avengers where like nobody cares but like everybody it's all the avengers that show up with like special education instead of powers

yes watch out we're good at it no it is we are weaponized i can i just say one thing it is having a streaming service like where we have a task and purpose coming aboard habitual line crosser now we're in this space where trust us we did not envision any of that this fast and now we're here legitimately honored to have people like task and purpose and and eli on uh i was waiting for it i was like is he gonna okay well played well played had to sorry let's go of course dude it's it's wild to be there I was waiting for it. I was like, is he going to? Okay. Well played. Well played. Had to. Sorry. Of course. Dude, it's wild to be there, especially how fast this community has. For me, it's a privilege to be with you guys on that platform.

And it's a good feeling because I get a little bit wider of a left to right limit that I can be as a creator on that because of the subscription requirements and stuff. So it's, it's really good. There's so much crossover. Like we do those live streams. Yeah. We did those. Yeah. Those are fun. It's like people love it when they, I get so many comments that people are like happy to see you and Ryanyan and preston so yeah i'm stoked it's it's wild and it's it is a blessing to be able to provide that for everyone out there because it's still we're learning as we go like the entire team is learning as we go and now we're in this new territory where no one's been jake's like well we've had it here but now we are well past that scale and we're like okay well now we're just fucking in new territory and we're figuring out as we proceed.

But thankfully to all of you, we're just listening back and forth, having those comms. So it's like, okay, what do you all want? Okay, we'll implement that. We'll figure stuff out. And we are further than probably any of us has imagined at this point and how big we're growing we're like holy fuck well it's one of those rare occasions that like actually unknown occasions that so as content creators we listen to our following like that's what we do you guys want this let me implement that like we pay attention and now you have control even when it's negative

for your own yeah psyche you listen to the comments like yeah but now you guys i mean you're in control of a of a platform so you can implement those on a higher like level than you ever could before which is fucking wonderful so like the viewers themselves have more control over the future of that platform than they even probably realize yeah yeah that's i don't like how much control they have and on that note fascism sometimes I put out a video and I'm like you guys should like this and they don't

you don't need to be ruled what is that free will all about I fucking love Christmas dude all of this has been this is gonna die I hate why why didn't you all like what I like you sons of

bitches I spent so much time I dive deep into China's intelligence agency and like only 500,000 of you watch it hey that electrician habitual line cross, and myself started a second podcast over on Pepperbox. Kind of consensual.

Nick came up with that genius name. It's us reading military stories and reacting to them. Think Creepcast, but with us. It's a lot of laughs. And that will be up Monday on Pepperbox. And we'll have some clips on YouTube too. I watch Cody's videos and sometimes I get a little bit of a hard-on. And I don't know if that says something wrong about me.

You sound very military. No, it's, I mean, it's a good breakdown of a good shot versus a bad shot. Like, the circumstances. But then, like, when I just hear that whack, whack, whack, whack, like the quacking. The quacks of justice. Oh, I love it. It's so good. Yes, there's nothing wrong with that. quacking. The quacks of justice. Oh, I love it. It's so good. Yes, there's nothing wrong with that.

I love it. Quacks of justice. I do like when you're with the Pepperbox side, when you started uploading the normal, people are like, oh, this does hit different without the quacks of justice and the blurries. It's a bit different now. Now you see what we see every brunch. We're just like looking at each other and just show each other like fucking snuff films like oh hey i'm looking at this for darwin awards like oh well i'm looking at this police shooting okay does that ever like um how do you say does that ever weigh on you when

you watch that shit because so i make a lot of videos on like the war in ukraine and then after a couple of weeks and months of like watching funker 550 sometimes it'll get to a point where i'm like i maybe need to like step away does it ever bother you or yeah yeah uh i i was thinking about quitting in a thousand videos and eli won't let me no i was like oh oh yeah you can quit yeah just step away it doesn't feel like you can quit you can't be ashamed cody be ashamed do not shame do not shame unsubscribe for giving us praise that's exactly how i feel in the military i've tried putting in my two weeks every day from like the past four years i mean if dude it fucking sucks watching that all day because i just want

to you know hang out with my kid my girlfriend and be happy right but anytime a cop has shot my videos i take my ad money and i just give it to them so i'm giving cops like 10 grand every single time they get shot my videos so you know just putting goodness into the world and letting that come back to me on top of that like what doesn't help is that like it's one thing to see something and everybody unanimously agrees like, oh, that's fucked up. Yeah. But whenever there's discourse on Twitter where there's 80 percent of the comment section is retards who know nothing about policing, know nothing about the law talking about, well, that didn't have to like Jesus Christ. I can only imagine. Yeah, it sucks, man. We had, oh, fuck, the one that came up this week again.

It's the wedding party, and they get into a brawl with the cops. I saw that. And the girl's trying to take the cop's gun, like actively yanking at it for like five seconds. He turns around and cocks her, and they're like, oh, well, he didn't have to do that. I was like, no, she was trying to take his firearm from him and he pays taxes oh yeah that's true i can relate to that because okay so i felt like when i was in iraq i felt a little bit like i was like a kind of a cop a bit because i was there during like the occupation phase of the of the It wasn't like the invasion phase.

So every time I would see people talk about anything having to do with the military, I'm like, you're making a judgment on someone who has to make a decision in like a split second. And then now with the benefit of video and everything, it's so easy to kind of like Monday morning quarterback what's happening. So I can relate to the frustration. Wasn't it like last year they had their first ever gun cam, like on the long gun and the officer, he had a long gun. It was the first time it had ever happened.

It was an officer involved shooting and they had a camera on the rifle itself. It's happened like a year ago. I remember reading the rifle about it. The one with the laptop, right? It was a couple of years. Shot through the screen? No, not that one. It was a couple years ago.

It was a did something, shot at police, and the officer had a gun cam on his pistol, and he just lit this dude up. That's awesome. Oh, that's right. We met the company at SHOT Show two years ago, and they're like, you're the reason our company is doing

so well right now. Really? Because that was my most watched video of all time. It was like 19 million's like 19 million views what's the size of a gun cam on a pistol it's like it's got to be tiny right yeah it looks like like when you mount a flashlight underneath the barrel it's like that size it's like a bottom picket to anything but it automatically records it's like a gopro or like a one of those like fucking traffic cams where like 30 seconds on either side of you pulling the trigger. Yeah. Oh, wow. That's pretty cool.

Skip this if you hate veterans. Wait, why the fuck did you cut to me? We're happy to announce that Underdog is going above and beyond their sponsorship obligations to help us help veterans. Underdog is donating $5,000 to our Veteran Charity Month. So if you're looking to put money down on sports or the fights coming up, and you want your money to go towards somebody that supports veterans, try Underdog. And they'll match half your bet up to $500 with code UNSUM. Which brings us to the fight.

Mike Tyson, the man, the myth, the legend, is fighting Jake Paul. Yeah, I don't think you have to really say who we're putting money on. It's Tyson. Tyson with the knockout. Iron Mike, baby, you got this. Look, I already got think you have to really say who we're putting money on. It's Tyson. Tyson with the knockout. Iron Mike, baby, you got this. Look, I already got a win on Tuesday. I'm looking forward to another win on Friday. You know what I mean.

200 on Tyson. 200 on Tyson. Bro, you're going down. Go download Underdog and support them because they are supporting now us and a couple of veteran nonprofits. They really didn't have to do that, but we appreciate their support. Have you seen the meme of the gun cam thing where they had like they showed like a prototype or whatever it was maybe it was just the meme but it was like a revolver that had a like an old flash photography style camera on the bottom of it and it was like oh things that

i've shot at and it's like spider deer furry just like a furry doing that. Oh, my God. It's constantly arguing with people online. It's like the dude sitting on his couch who hasn't fucking walked a mile in 10 years, and he's watching a UFC fight, and he's like, I could have taken that guy. Or he's saying, well, you should have kicked him here. I would have shot him in the leg that works really good in the round it hit i would have hit her it went up it went through the top he wants tom bleeding yeah it doesn't matter that they have an artery in the leg that easily bleed out from the femoral that takes a lot of

time to bleed out from yeah i know what a minute a minute flat or like 40 seconds i think i talked about in one of my videos too if you hit someone in the femur it explodes because there's so much muscle tension on it it freaking does this oh yeah even if you break the femur doesn't have to be like shot in it if you were just you know i don't know how there's like few ways to break the femur but i don't know if you find you find a way to break it. It's like the hardest bone in the human body. Car accident. Yeah, exactly. Like you are done.

Yeah. Cause when it snaps, it pulls, as you're saying, all those muscles are pulled in tight. It's just why a femur or on your, yeah, your femur, when it shatters, it can just slip and go up and then tear the artery. Cause like aside from the head, I think the second and third most bleedy parts of the body are the hip and the thigh. Yeah. Yeah. Apparently I was here, I was talking to a medic friend that like they're like getting shot in the abdomen not really that scary like you you can lose a lot of intestine and it takes you a

while to bleed out but they're like getting shot in the pelvis get to a hospital like that you will die quickly that's why i think we were talking about it recently it's like you know any words that are fought in the future are going to be fought with plate carriers so you should fucking shoot them in the pelvic bowl yeah and i will do the trick really quick the more you know aiming center mass is a little bit less like it's protected so i mean it's still gonna fucking rock your world like it's it's gonna hurt take the wind out yeah it's i mean i don't i've seen videos of people like with a plate carrier like oh that wasn't as bad especially with modern tech because it's not hitting your body it has that plate and then the um the nine mil kevlar behind it so just wait till

they find out about dick meta yeah yeah thank you shot me my unit we had cockpads, as we called them, and my buddy would always say that he had the biggest cockpad in the battalion. It was giant. It was huge. Did he just get an extra? Extra large, just a cockpad.

That's fucking hilarious. We hated those things. We still wore it. We wouldn't wear neck. We wouldn't wear the shoulder. That's stupid. Every dude I knew was like yeah protect the ding ding when i was in i don't know i don't know how police are with like the protection meta as you would call it but like when i was in iraq they went nuts it was almost like a overbearing the government turned into like an overbearing parent where we had like shoulder pads the dips and daps yes the dips the daps dude i everything they were afraid that somebody might like trip uh falling out of a striker or something you know what i'm talking about dude this is they

make kevlar shoulder pads for your body you look like a football player it's like and they went through that we weren't at that was during during, as you were saying, the occupation. Or not the surge. The gay part of the war. Yeah. I had the gay part of the war. I fired around paperwork. And you're like, oh, this sucks dick.

So you... We went to Taj Mahal one time. You mentioned Taj Mahal. You lived out in the cobs. I was like...'s taji at in uh baghdad it was like um so it's like 15 kilometers north of baghdad and then i lived on a little outpost that was like the size of a football field thank god nick's not here what were you saying kilometers oh oh yeah yeah i'm just talking in communism speak right now

for uh just for my commie audience out there their benefit um but i mean that's like we we in the military we talked in terms of like clicks and stuff so i don't know how to translate to american speak but uh yeah so the outpost was about the size of like a football field. And then we had another outpost that was a chicken coop that we had converted into a barracks. That sounds very army. Yeah. Like it's your burn.

You're burning your shit at that point. You're you got your JPA. Enjoy the salmonella from the chicken shit. Oh yeah. A lot of dysentery. Yeah, exactly. But I forget what the question was, but that's the answer.

You're just getting experience because I was taught. We did a cob for almost six months in Baghdad. So I always try to explain. I'm like, oh, we got to shower every 20 days or stuff like that. You're burning your shit. It doesn't register to people like that lifestyle, though, because it's. Well, my diet was Pop-Tarts and frozen meatball subs and rip it and rip. And so happy veterans day.

I know a lot of you out there are watching right now and you know what this is. This is a rip it. And this was what everybody drank on. Like if you had guard, we basically rotated between like eight hours of guard tower duty. And then it was like eight hours of patrols. And then eight hours of you go on raids.

And so no weekends off. Yeah. No days off. What? Days off would suck. Days off would suck. That would be the worst because then you had to like stay busy. But you had to find a way to stay busy.

But these rip-its kept me alive alive and this is not a sponsorship this is just i hope like only so i brought a bunch for everyone but then i thought i was like people are gonna feel weird if i take out like five rippets so now there's only one for me but don't drink if you uh i don't i was if you're pregnant i was thinking of the other one. It was the wild tiger, I think. Yeah, wild tigers, they'd have those overseas, too. Ribbits are just pure cancer, dude. But boy, do they wake you up. They do the trick. I mean, yeah, you probably have them.

The first time you were in Iraq, you had them, right? Fuck off. What were you saying? No, I was going to say, Chris, what was your MOS? Infantry. Okay. So I was National Guard chris what was your mos infantry okay so i was national guard infantry was nasty girl infantry so basically like i enlisted thinking that i would hate it and i was like i'll do three years in the guard and just deploy and get out and like that'll be it but i ended up loving it and it ended up being like he likes the sound a man makes when he takes his last breath. How many appointments did you go on? Just one.

Okay. 15 month? Nine month. Oh, you lucky prick. And a three month stateside. So it was like a year away from home. But yeah, no, the guys that we ripped, the guys that we replaced was a 15 month tour. They were the 25th ID out of Hawaii.

15 months, dude. They were. It was like you walked into, you know that movie where everyone's going stir crazy it's like a horror movie and they've been in the like cabin for 30 months is that the crazies yeah it was like walking into the middle of the crazies and these guys had they'd gone native they'd gone a little bit like is that wait is that racist no no Back to the question Apocalypse now with the dude they find the colonel and like everybody's just fucking like okay Well, that's honestly like every time I've had experience with either 25th ID, which is surprising because they're out of Hawaii.

25th is Hawaii, right? Yes. And then 173rd. Now Native's getting a little bit more racist. We're turning it into. But those dudes are always like, they're so, I don't know how to explain it. They're so numb to like everything. They're just like, you guys want to get shot at today? We're going to go over here.

Guarantee we're going to get shot at. Like they're just so numb to everything. They're just like you guys want to get shot at today we're gonna go over here guarantee we're gonna get shot at like they're just so numb to everything they're like don't walk on that road you'll die but if you want to go ahead dude like 15 16 months yeah the same sector does that you were second idea right yeah my grandpa was second idea 16 months and we lived out in a cob for like they're like hey you're you're here and that is it from four months until it went to mocha and then that was a new cob and then your exact same thing but they had actually like cooked food and everything and then you have people that lived on um base too but that was for the most part it was just three months or four months of out in sector rotate every 20 days we had 20 day rotations back to base for a day like oh showers do everything and then rotate back out so yeah

that was when we would go back to the fob taji every 30 days and we would have showers once a week and we would rotate between the different jobs of like qrf guard tower duty and patrol patrol and it was just like a blur of and then also rotate between like this circadian shift of between day and night um it sucked what a ball you know that's what's interesting like and i can kind of like identify with both you guys because granted i was a 19 kilo at the time but like all we did was walk everywhere we had no tanks in afghanistan so we were circumstantially just running patrols and running tower guard and it's interesting to like when i remember back people like you know is there is there things that like you don't really recall as much and i'm like there's entire days like maybe weeks that i don't remember because i was so fucking exhausted like

i've been sitting there before like did we go on a patrol today and they're like i i think we did like you have no idea where the fuck you went it's like nobody remembers the thursday at shot show oh shoot we just talked about this the other day shooty drinky thing whatever we call it is that gonna be our new shirt the shooty drinky thing yeah yeah it was that text of just jake and he was like when does this end when does shooty bang bang thing and shooty drinky bang bang convention shooty drinky bang bang oh it's just kind of that thing where you can only get so exhausted dude i'll admit you know shot show is entirely self inflicted but unless you work there in which case and we're working but we also drink with

all the work we do. And gamble. And gamble. I feel bad for the people that have to man the booths because they're out there with us. Because for them, this is like their party time. They're out there drinking with us until 2 o'clock in the morning. They have to be manning the booths front and center at 6.30 in the morning and do the entire thing until 5 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and then do it again. I'm like, dude, I don't. I'd rather shit my hands and clap. And the amount of just like extroversion that they have, that they can talk and shake that many hands

and like say hi to that many peoples. It is, it's truly impressive. They probably hate us when we do booth appearances. Oh, yeah. It's probably a relief, I'm hoping, for them. Actually, yeah. Because everyone probably like runs to you guys instead of swamping them

I don't know how it feels I'm gonna try this year I'm gonna go that's my first SHOT show oh shit welcome to the f***ing party welcome to the party pal it is a you think you know it's like ah I'll be a dude especially the older we get

the harder those days are like fuck i think this will be my 10th shot or 11th let's say brandon's been doing this since he's 19 before he could drink legally yeah there's some fun stories about the black rifle stuff back in the day you're like oh i just want to be i i want to do this for a living one day and like now i'm there i'm like oh hom, you had no idea what was ahead. It's all good stuff. Well, a lot of good stuff. A lot of good stuff.

It's a fun time. We get to hang out with everyone. We get to just also not be extroverted. We are forced to that. And then we interact with everyone and then we want to die afterwards. You're like, does anybody here consider themselves an extrovert? No, no, no, no. i'm a fucking hermit yeah i i realized i thought i was an extrovert until i went to my first my first big shot show where i like was

popular by any means uh and then i remember having the conscious thought because it was 2019 i was like man i think i'm just an introvert with a big battery. So you can handle, yeah, because that's what they say is that if, if interacting with a ton of other people, like gives you energy, then you're an extrovert. But if it kind of like,

it's, yeah, each interaction just takes a little bit more than you're an introvert. That's when I realized that wasn't me, but like, I don't get me wrong.

were watching world war z and i forgot you had your the movie's better than the book that's what some say i heard brad pitt was really onto something brad pitt versus zombies movie i think it would have been a great movie If they didn't call it World War Z Yeah That's what they basically wanted They were like let's make a zombie movie And let's hijack this property To glom onto their success

Which is wild In this day and age you'd be like Hey let's not do that and come up with something original And then it will do good What's it called did the same thing the giant monster movie uh the pacific rim the first one that was handheld even the last cloverfield they did they've done multiple where it was literally a horror movie and like i'll just slap cloverfield and we'll change what was that one with the marines and the like uh the aliens came in i felt that was

more like world war z than the world war z talking about battlefield la yes i felt like battlefield la i just thought that was a pretty good movie right that's what i'm saying like that was more like a world war z movie than world war z even was dude all they had to do was take world war z turn it into a mini seriesies on HBO or something, and every chapter, that's an episode. Like an anthology. Yeah, because every chapter is how one individual survived the zombie apocalypse. It's so good the way they jump around like that.

I enjoyed the book. Your arm is World War Z, right? Yeah, my entire sleeve on my left arm is World War Z. So you must have felt like it was an affront when they kind of sacrileged the the movies just kind of tore it apart because i feel as though like hbo when they saw how well um i'm blank walking dead yes no no the other one the uh the the video game that they did the first one was i thought very good last of us last of us i thought the first series was actually pretty damn good and it's because they basically just took the video game they got and they copied it yeah and the second one's probably gonna suck like the video second

video game sucked yes but like uh that first season was killer and if they had just done the same thing as like world war z no pedro don't go golfing it's it's kind of like how the people who made the borderlands movie could have just taken borderlands 2 and made it a movie now put kevin hart in it and make it fucking lame i was i love borderlands i was so fucking let down okay okay so what uh before i forget before i forget the reason that all i brought all that up and uh let me just like work it into here because i feel like a lot of people probably will know about this is uh con plan 8888 which in the military we have these things called yeah con plans which are it's short for concept plan concept of a plan and they're basically kind

of like contingency plans and so the army our tax money we pay a ton of money towards coming we pay bureaucrats to come up with all kinds of just crazy what-if scenarios and legitimately we pay like steve out there and carl to write out what would happen if a zombie attack happened so there is a actual U.S. DOD plan, con plan on a zombie attack, how to fight a zombie attack from the government to, I'm almost really quick. It's insane. And the only reason it was released was due to a FOIA request. Freedom of Information Act.

Right, correct. For three years, it was secret. So people thought, hey, maybe this is like um a disguised plan maybe it's a stand-in for like how to actually do a martial law or like civil uh civil dissent um but it's like pages and pages and it talks about how to put down you know basically like a large a virus or you know so it was really is coming my heart good to know like if they just had like different plans where it's like fast movers slow movers 28 days later style zombies versus Walking Dead zombies they just have all of those different plans

put out what they really did I will text it I'll text it to you right now what could do you know? Legitimately, the army points out, okay, here's how you fight fast movers. Here's how you fight slow movers. Here's how the government should respond. Complan 8888. If you look it up, it's a PDF now because the government had

to release it. I love his lockdown videos. To make it less like oh i'm sorry oh yes so to make it to get rid of like okay so the boring idea of it is that it's just they were they were okay your average infantryman does not want to listen to a briefing and if you put up a bunch of slides about hey how do we invade nigeria that's boring but if you put up slides on how to fight a zombie apocalypse that's more exciting so that's like the boring justification for why they made it but i'll send it to you guys it's wild well what pisses me off is i literally just dropped

a video us versus zombies and i didn't know this existed so now i god damn i'm gonna have to read stupid stupid how much did we spend on that? It was $38 million to write that up. Listen, I wrote the same thing in seventh grade, all right? Oh, fucking Max Brooks already wrote the thing. About zombies. Your money, $38 million of your money went to a plan to fight zombies do you do do you remember what happened in world war z how they finally like destroyed all the zombies so what i liked was uh there was like the battle of new york right or the battle of yorktown

yonkers yeah which is just north of new york yeah and the zombies were like their bodies were just piling up and they had the bradleys and they had like that was my favorite to me world war z is all about the fact that how would modern military equipment fare against yeah brain dead zombies which was completely gone from the movie it didn't work yeah so they were just dropping like bombs yeah they just ended up being overrun because the more you kill like just kind of adds to them but how did it how did it i forget exactly how it ended okay so the the way that they finally like corralled every zombie and they finally were able to clean up the world is they got a bunch of like sharpshooters they taught everyone to shoot for headshots and they had like basic

infantry rifles they had like m14s like basic that will kill something in the brain in one hit and they would blast like ac dc or they would blast metal music and so they would get in a square and just wait for all the zombies to come to the music and they would just pop them and when you're when you run out or you're you're feeling fatigued you would pass your rifle back to the dude behind you and they would come up and so they would corral thousands of zombies around them and just destroy them all with headshots and that's how they eventually solved it it wasn't like super amazing fucking expensive military equipment it just ended up being a dude with a rifle with like a 762 in it it wasn't brad pitt it was just an average the reason the thing that is like genius about that book is that they thought of that procedure

they thought of that like uh he has to pass the rifle to the next guy just that like granite level of how do you kill all these zombies was to me, that was the beauty of World War Z. For the one thing in the book that really, and it was the only thing that popped into my head when you were talking about how they finally eliminated them. I think it was during the battle of, of Yonkers might've been one of the other chapters, but they. I love where we're talking about this.

Like it's actual military. I know, right? Obviously the battle of Yonkers. We lost a lot of good men. The chaplain, the going around around like there was somebody who was bit reading in their final rights and then just putting a bullet in their head like

that dude that's so fucking that was one of the chapters too dude that's wild that's how chaplains get ptsd hey you're gonna execute people too it's like i signed up what hold the fuck up yeah there's a whole chapter about the chaplain going around and having to do that yeah dude like that's wild is that was the one thing that popped into my head as soon as you were talking about like how they finally finished them off i was like how did they and then i thought chaplain i was like no he didn't do it yeah it's a shit job right there dude it's wild that book if you guys have never read it like read it. Something we were talking about before the podcast started. That is fucking Mel Brooks' son who wrote that. Mel Brooks of Spaceballs.

Yeah. Blazing Saddles. Blazing Saddles. He did. Wait, did he do that? I did not know that. Did he do it under a different name? No.

No, Max Brooks. Max Brooks. Oh, that Brooks. Yeah, no one just connects the dots on that one. He's also, funny story, he's on an episode of Sons of of guns where they do the ultimate zombie survival gun which they end up being it's like a ruger 1022 inside of a p90 chassis because it's fucking sons of guns whatever that didn't age well that's fine no no what would be your ultimate zombie gun oh i've listened to everyone i actually have a portion to go over everyone's a weapon platform because you're talking about the four and the 416 taking it over

start off with brandon zombie survival like all right tism touch for me personally like if infinite ammo or everything wasn't it wasn, I'd say AK-105. That's my go-to. That is an issue, though, in a zombie apocalypse. What's the round that's most readily available in the United States? I have it decked out. You do have to worry about logistics. Decked out AK in 5.56 with quad rails and everything like that.

I've got the whole thing. We're actually going to be releasing these guns pretty soon. I basically built the perfect, my mind like american ak and so we're building a few of them you guys are welcome to them if you'd like one i haven't yet what else scratch if 14 and a half inch pin and weld fucking suppressor ready everything like that's that's my gun i'd like i'm now convinced i'm like zombie apocalypse in the in the united states like that's what i want my gun. Like I'm now convinced I'm like zombie apocalypse in the, in the United States. Like that's what I want. 10.5 inch.

I'll take it. I'll do that just for you. You can get picky about a free gun. I don't agree with Brandon. I have a lot of guns. I just put the barrel like, what do you want? No, no.

I just, uh, okay. So you're going to have national guard. You're going to have the army. You're going to have the whole military out there dying. with the barrel like all right what do you want what do you got cody no no i just uh okay so you're gonna have national guard you're gonna have the army you're gonna have the whole military out there dying dropping weapons everywhere it's gonna be m4 platform so a basic ar platform because you can pick up parts if your gun breaks down you can pick up a new one five five six is gonna be readily available everywhere everywhere that's well that's what a five five six eight k i wouldn't do it with the ak platform though though. It's almost like we have a weapon design warehouse at our disposal.

Famous last words of Brandon's like, I got bit! We had a weapon design facility. Don't let me get bit, motherfucker! Now we have a shop we can't use. Oh, no! Like, no, just cut his arm off! Now I'm still infected We can't use We saved him he has no arms I love how your zombie apocalypse plan is let me get bit

Worst case scenario, guys. Yeah, no arms. Little, little left. Fuck. That makes sense, though, because it is like AR, like bolt carriers, all the little shit where you're like, eh. It'll be laying everywhere. Well, I think it also depends on where you're at geographically. In the U.S., of course, AR or M4 style. But I'm just saying, like, let's say me in the military stationed overseas,

the most world common round, 7.62x39, is AK round. And AKs are fucking everywhere because when the Soviet Union collapsed, they sold them to everybody. I guarantee it's the one time we go on a trip together, like the gang does Japan, and that's when that happens. And we're like, mother fucker. Like, we're stuck in a country with no guns Luckily one of us has already built the guns you can build in Japan

Chase show how that turned out 75 with great show I think I got I mean I feel like I got to go belt fed though. Personally, I think if I'm going to, yeah, if I'm, it depends. So what you said, you made a good point. It's like, okay, geographically is going to matter because are you in like a safe house or are you stuck in Japan? It's going to make a difference. But I feel like if I'm stuck in New Jersey where I'm at, probably want some kind of belt fed. Lots of belt feds in New Jersey where I'm at probably want some kind of belt fed. Lots of belt feds in New Jersey.

New Jersey is famous for their belt feds. Actually, Picatinny Arsenal. He's like Mark Matty. Legitimately, yeah. But, so, yeah, like, if I had a choice, I'd probably go, I mean, XM250. The 250 would be dope. Is that the new one?

It's got the mitigating recoil choice. 338 normal? There's a version of it that's 338 normal that I got to fire. And it's sick because- That's the crazy one. That's the one you can just walk and shoot. You got to shoot that? Yeah.

Yeah, sick. Let me fire it. It's really nice because- So I've fired a 50 cal. I've fired a M240. And they say it's kind of between. They also say that it's the nice part about it is

that the impulse is more like a straight pushback. It feels like just instead of So I loved the.333. That's how I would put it.

I hate I understood all of everyone we're still breaking the same uh same same that's fucking cool yeah no i've wanted to shoot with there's a lot of those like the uh i think ohio ordinance has theirs too that i am i got to play with one take it apart at shot show last year oh dude it is dope because it is all it is is it is a 2024 version of the mg34 actually it's hot we're on to something that i wanted to pick your brain about oh and particularly if if i could you you are more than welcome let's go i was gonna say before we get to that can we ask what was his PUP? Oh, yeah. We'll go down. We'll work down. We'll go down.

Let's go. We're going to work down. I still want to know. We got this. We're still on him. We got 338 LePool. Not LePool, but. I do want to know that.

But also, I also want to know. So I've been covering like the XM7 forever, the NGSW. Then it was XM5. Like, I wanted to know what your thoughts and what you, how did you like, because I found it to be a bit of a bucking bronco. It was a lot. But also I get that, like, the U.S. Army is going for a new doctrine thing. They're trying to hit out to, like, 800 meters.

But from everyone I've talked to they kind of feel as though hitting out that far is for like an regular soldier that's that's a lot to ask to hit out to that distance i mean i don't know depending on the optic you give them and stuff like that yeah right there's yeah hitting out to 800 yards for anybody who's never done it that's not easy to do um my all of my uh my my issues with the xm7 or the or what do they call it the sig uh i don't know whatever it's yeah sig xm7 xm7 uh i i have one in 308 and everybody's like well you you how do you fucking know what it is you don't even have the real caliber it's like six eight or uh 277 fury like all of my problems with that weapon platform have nothing to do with caliber i understand why they chose the caliber they did i i get that that makes perfect sense

the issues i have with it i've showed in the video very clearly like the over insertion stop lack of over insertion stop where it's like okay let's say you run the gun dry boom boom boom boom boom you're out you're 20 run mag you drop it you throw in another magazine you slap it in super hard because you're full of adrenaline you're getting shot at and you are shooting people you slam it in and you try to send the bolt home and it jams because you've killed the gun because you've thrown the magazine in too hard to me massive fucking problem you know what we're trained in the military insert slap again to make sure it's set and now you're like with your video as it points out that is you gotta also add the like slap it on your head a couple of times to make sure your brain's working yeah i totally get that because i feel as though a lot of the jams on the m4 for a while there

were also like polymer mag related i don't know i mean i just remember they basically told us not to use p mags for a while on the m4s that we had for that for whatever reason that it was just like jamming with them i feel like they developed that over time. The new gen PMAGs in 5.56 I feel like are pretty good. That's universally accepted as some of the better magazines right now. I could be wrong on that. That's just my understanding of it. No one knows. There were so many issues.

Even the handguard. Things that you would mount for example a PEC-15 to. Like a laser designator. Something that you would use under night vision if you're using the advantages that the American military has. Like we fuck at night. Sorry, that's just like our thing. We own the night.

Afghanistan was the reason that I got comfortable in the dark. Like that's – I'm much more comfortable in the dark now. The first time I ever put on like white FOSS dual tube nods, I'm just like, oh, this is why we win wars. This is just shit. It fucks you put a laser designator on that handguard and it it sways so much that it's like you can't use that to reliably zero and like you all these issues are adding up just in the one that they sent me which again sig i'm very appreciative and i want to help but like i could never recommend that gun so i had a crazy thing

happen where i put out a video about basically the soldiers feedback on the xm7 and i went through kind of all the open source information on it and you're basically reading like joe's it's your common joe's feedback on hey it's funny because you read stars and stripes you read these different publications and all you're hearing is like i love it it's so powerful oh my god and then and then i want to read that article oh my god yeah and then so i put out this video with like it's about the soldier feedback and then a bunch of dudes hit me up privately and they're messaging me saying like what the fuck why did you cherry pick my comments and i come to find out that like the paos in the military the public affair officers are legitimately cutting out all of their negative feedback

yes i believe it like i genuinely believe that this reddit post popped off went viral and people this guy was like task and purpose chris cappy's a asshole because he cherry picked all my comments and i'm like all i did i all i know is what stars and stripes puts out you're just like this this is what i had but i totally get his point of view because if i saw that i'd be like what the why are you only take so the pao cut out all of his negative feedback he had he said he had 10 minutes of he said he had 10 minutes of talking to the PAO about shit he hated and how it's impossible to clean and this and that. You need a tool.

You need a tool to take down a bulk carrier. I could go on and on about his complaints. He said the MOA on it was like, I feel like I'm probably getting too far into the weeds right now. Did you try to use the charging handle on it? There is no such thing as too much into the weeds. Now people are like okay so this guy he was making fun of me so hard but i had to like blast it out to everyone that i know and just say

like guys read this because this guy has a point and i kind of i messed up like i should have dug deeper but he's putting out all this stuff about okay it's a four moa on this rifle which so he said every third because it's so over gassed like every third shot it just wings and just sent out the right he said the rest of it are like a two moa which for context the m4 is like a i think a four moa but probably like as a new they should depends on the standard issue ones i think yeah and it depends on how much you shot it and when's your last it is a lot of so i was just blown also not blown away because i'm like not that surprised that the government would do that

but they just saw all of his complaints and they said hey uh let's cut that shit so you're saying the government willingly withheld information about soldiers operating a piece of equipment so that way they could sell a specific weapon they wanted to and maintain a contract so somebody got some money. You're lying. I'm asking you a question right now. What do you think is easier? What do you think is easier?

Changing the military's decision on what product to buy or making a product sound good? That's fair. That's absolutely fair. We have two options here. Man, I love this. The gang shits on the XM7. Oh my god. There's a lot of sick stuff I like.

I'm an XM7 enjoyer. I love it. But also at the same time, I wish I did if they sent me one. After the video I made for them, they have like... I can't say this but they're not in a hurry to work with me right now i'll take one to test out i don't have anything against sig i really don't i just that thing in particular really kind of

my ass because there's so many other like if you try to use the charging handle on it good luck things like almost i'll show you i'll show you mine it is so stiff it's almost unusable like you have to use the left side charging handle but the military's uh their guidelines for what they needed in that program was they needed a standard charging handle in the back for whatever fucking reason just be the reason was because it was like we don't want soldiers that are already used to this to change so they have to have that and the front charging handle or side charging handle yep dude i can't wait till the xm7s filter down to like the police force and we can finally see some some donut operator videos with the xm7

yeah i can't wait till cops carry those see that's wild. I hit him with the first three shots, but the fourth one just went all wonky and hit the neighbor's dog. I don't know what the fuck happened. Hey, it's only... That's the ATF breakdown.

So what about them squirrels and raccoons? Oh, yes. Return them to dust oh no

Jesus Christ have you not heard about tell me were you talking about the acorn no no no I don't know then oh Cody this is not a good people fucked up on this one

this is in your neck of the woods. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how I'm going to talk about this one. But go ahead. We're trying to figure it out together. So seven years ago, TikTok guy, social media influencer, he found a squirrel. Its mother died. Like little baby squirrel nursed it back to health. And it's been his baby for the past seven years.

And because of the squirrel, he's been able rescue hundreds of animals like through his charity that he does because he posts videos of him hanging out with a squirrel like jump on his shoulder like jump on him and he loves it uh new york i can't remember the exact agency that came in but nydce nydce d-e-c. They got a search warrant and came into his house and took the squirrel and the raccoon that he was helping with his charity and they euthanized them. So the whole return to the dust thing kind of... I'm sorry, man.

I'm so sorry. I was going a different direction. Yeah, no, you're good. You're good. What the actual... Yeah. Yeah. And this was a famous, like the squirrel has

a million followers. They came in and they ended that thing? They got a warrant. And what was the reason? Because it was just not... There were complaints about the squirrel. And he's like, dude, the squirrel

was indoors. It was in his house it was just chilling with him this is like a homie squirrel like it would just like yeah honey walk around with it if they would date so many videos I got to see the ferrets that are more no he was in the middle of getting the squirrel registered as an educational animal but there were concerns about the spread of rabies so the raccoon and the squirrel that was why they killed it is because they had to they had to check it for rabies and the only way to check it for rabies is to cut into their brain so they had to

kill it they had to put it down to check for rabies that they didn't know existed there'd only be a concern for rabies if one of the animals had been contacted by an animal that had been contacted by a rat. This is a government agency we're talking about. I don't know what I'm talking about. It might have rabies. Let's check. Yeah. It was the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, which I'm sure they do a lot

of good things, but that was, holy shit, dude, you're going to steal this squirrel from this dude's house who's never bit anyone or acted out of hand that's huge on social that's where i do not get how something like that goes through all those changing of hands and that high up where somebody's like he said hey this is gonna happen to just double check even a smidge i'm like hey okay this is a famous squirrel what are the repercussions what are the optics on this Four administrators and a judge signed off on that warrant. That's what I was reading in the article this morning. I was like, that's nuts, man.

Dude, and then police set him and his wife outside their house for five hours while they searched their house. It's like, you're doing this to a guy that has a fucking squirrel who saved hundreds of animals? Let's also put this disclaimer out. This is like, we all learned about this hours ago at time of animals. Let's also put this disclaimer out. We all learned about this hours ago at time of recording, so there's probably a lot of more information that's going to come out. I wouldn't assume

it's good for the government. It's overreaching. Based on very little knowledge we have right now. Dude, that's a politician in Brandon right there. He's like, guys, I'm going to cover my bases right now for everyone. You sound like me. Always wait for the context to come out. Yeah. But this is one of those

where it's like, the squirrel ate me. I was like, oh god. It was an evil squirrel. I don't see the squirrel like, yeah, exactly. Fucking a child or anything. The chomo squirrel. Then they would've let him go. It's New York. It gets lots of punishment.

So the squirrel should have someone. Now it has to register itself. Fuck, man. You know, it sounds like the beginning of John Wick. I'm just saying, like, you know, somebody fucked up a squirrel. That's how you make John Wick.

That's how you create John Wick, right there. I'm picturing American History X. They're just telling the squirrel to bite the curb. Oh my god, dude. F*** up. Don't do it. I don't know. I just heard it.

Don't do it. Just in case you didn't know. The last thing you see is Edward Norton in his underwear and then a squirrel. Squeak. Oh my gosh. All right. Every time I'm on this podcast, I'm like,

this is the one that's going to get it. You guys just try and one-up it every single time. That was my first. No, I'm saying that was my first nine episodes, and it hasn't happened yet. What number are we on right now? Joe, what number did we release? 185.

Hey, look, we're still here. I talk about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict all the time and I'm just waiting to get canceled. Well, dude, I have an actual part of it is I wanted to talk about the North Korea shit, which is wild and also that dealing with

modern politics or at least wars and then the pushback and that flux you get from both sides because you're like you're just presenting information and you are still an asshole for doing yeah but i get off on it i have a question in that regard because like i've in the very beginning the uh russian ukraine war uh i actually your videos were almost exclusively what i watched because when that first kicked off I have a question in that regard. In the very beginning of the Russian-Ukraine war, your videos were almost exclusively what I watched. Because when that first kicked off, in the first two weeks, before we realized, oh, this is just going to be another forever war.

I've seen this before. He never watches my videos, if that makes you feel better. I actually do now. Fuck you. I do now. USA versus XYZ. I love it. We're getting there. Especially the Z. Oh, the Z. Yeah, fuck. I hate those people. I've got to redo that one now. Thanks. okay usa versus xyz yeah i love it we're getting there especially the z oh the z yeah

i gotta redo that one now thanks but like when it was first kicking off i was watching a lot of your videos because it was very interesting to me because i'm like i'm looking around like does anybody realize how close to world war three we are this is this is a big deal dude i uh first of all that means a lot because not to s your d too much but love watching your videos on all the big inspiration for a ton of the stuff that i didn't before that i didn't know you knew who i was that was kind of cool actually one time i i referenced you very briefly in a video uh as like a joke in in a positive way and like always have love no i'll send it to you it was a good thing it was a good thing um but

he just got used by info i was trying to end i did yeah if check out our our appearance on info wars we're on there now and uh unless you're a globalist or an elitist 76 will commence again if you don't watch task and purpose i love uh but so so actually it's funny you bring that up because I feel as though I want to say like in the beginning of the war, we all knew so little about what was happening. And I got so much wrong about like – Yeah. I've learned so much since then about how to talk about conflicts at that scale because I have my experience of what Iraq was like. And we know

what like coin operations and counterinsurgency is like and it's such a different animal from uh like a high intensity near-peer warfare and it's a very different way you have to talk about it and i realize now that like the war in ukraine it's so much better to talk about those things in terms of you know how like the cia actually talks about it or how like the k the fsb talks about it in russia which is likelihoods so it's more i talk about things more like uh now saying so you hedge right exactly yeah no legitimately like well you have to because even the top intelligence agencies hedge because they know that there's so many variables that go into a war of that scale that trying to predict them, it's almost more meaningful to say, hey, because North Korean soldiers are deploying to Kursk in Russia, it is highly likely that it

will have an impact on the battle in Kursk and so when i first saw the invasion of by russia i talked about things more in like an absolutist point of view so i've learned a lot since then about like yeah and so uh to me that i've always learned by my family always told me that like talking about politics is impolite, and I agree. But my way around it now is talking about geopolitics is a little bit easier because American interests are the same kind of almost no matter who is in office. So at the channel, I talk about it from a point of view of just American interests. Because that's what I kind of wanted to talk about a little bit because, and I'm sure the comment section will tell me I'm wrong if that is the case. But I feel like you come at it from a relative impartiality where like you don't, you're not playing left-right politics.

You're just kind of like, hey, this is what's happening. They're here. They're here. Their best move is this, but they're probably going to do this. And that's kind of your breakdowns. I try to be upfront about my bias. I've my, okay. So we all, we're from like the same generation where I'm 35. Like we're all around that age. Right. So we grew up with, uh,

excuse me. Are we sniffing? Can I just the young ones? That's him. Uh, 28, uh just the young ones that's him uh 28 uh it's the young ones i smell good you smell good thank you buddy okay the point i wanted to say real quick was just like i grew up listening to rush limbaugh listening to like um what do you call it am radio and i loved it and i felt as though i wished a little bit more that in the media people would just be up front about like where they're coming from because i feel as though everyone has a bias and a point of view so i've tried to approach it from hey i'm gonna put my cards on the table like here's yes i am pro-american but also i'm going to tell you

yeah it's true it's true and you'll be surprised how many people will say this task of purpose is racist only against the one type hello new york times against the one type. Hello, New York Times. You know the type. I've come to bargain. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like, short answer.

I try to be impartial. We gotta get Eli back. Give us a minute. That got me. I wanna know what race you are. I wanna call you a slur. How do I insult you? I would like my slur to land, please. A second slur hits Tower 2.

Oh, shit. Don't sell my job. No slur hit tower seven that's crazy we're not we're not sure if a slur hit the pentagon based on surveillance video no slurs of it Jesus Christ let's deviate this comment he was making a very very actual intellectual and I was like

racism sorry I apologize for that we back? continue please I was saying yeah yeah my whole approach has been like to try to be as unbiased as possible because i feel like you reach more people that way because i think i hate preaching a little bit i hate preaching to the choir sometimes so which is

like a double-edged sword it It's like a Final Fantasy VII sword. Where... Buster sword. Fucking weirdos. Is that what this is? That's the dragon slayer. We used to have the buster sword. I want to touch it. Touch it.

You can touch it. Can I? Yeah, touch it. Lick the tip. That is the dragon slayer. Okay. Bigger than the buster sword. Yes.

Anyway, I'm proud you know the buster sword. I'm happy now. You misdirected yourself on that one yeah i forget where i was but i will notice like i mean don't get me wrong my job is more of the comedy aspect and i i know where my place is and in the scheme of all this is i make a joke about something using a little bit of facts a little bit of artistic liberty but I like, I've noticed that a lot of people will see that and be like, well, what is he talking about? And then they go and they find your type of content or something along those lines where they're like, okay, now I'm educated on what's going on. So like mine, ultimately I just kind of filter in, but I, I've also realized that not so much just like your own individual

bias, like, you know, America first or this, you know, whoever you're, you promote, it's oftentimes your perspective can differ based off of like past experiences. So like my brain works in a tactical sense. So like tactically $200 billion, zero American lives to reduce 95% of Russia's pre-war military. That's a, that's a tactical decision. And that makes sense to me. But then there's people who look at it, let's say from a political perspective or like, you know, Americans are not are not you know they're struggling to get funding during hurricanes and stuff like that and it it kind of pits some of us against each other a little bit in that aspect because i look at it through a tactical perspective you know you look at it maybe a little bit more political you look at it through uh law enforcement perspective or

something along those lines but that can also be a huge difference there. Anytime my perspective gets labeled political, I'm like, oh, no, no, no. I just thought it made sense. Yeah, no, actually, to your point, I've seen, I know a lot about you guys and the viewership out there. I get YouTube sends us analytics,

and I've seen how... Are you becoming the Joker right now? I see. about you guys and the viewership out there. I get YouTube sends us analytics, and I've seen how... Are you becoming the Joker right now? I see. Do you like these analytics? I can see that... You want to know how I got these stats? My analytics taste like iron. No, I've seen that our viewers are shared

amongst everyone here. I've seen we share audience. YouTube tells us that. Oh, yeah. It sends us through. Related channels. Yeah, there is like the, what do you call it? Like a filter through basically all of us.

I share a lot with Nick, the fan electrician. I share a lot with him. I don't think I've ever seen Brandon's name pop up in my shared. It makes sense that you guys are Brandon. Oh, yeah. Cross Ballination. If you don't know this analytics will show you it's like hey related channels the host because the other hosts

are killing it in life it's like oh yeah and then we use their names their titles their tags in our own section that also helps populate your algorithm to the point of um yeah like not to make it political but it's definitely true that uh aid to ukraine like so i'm i'm kind of forward i'm into it i feel it but at the same time i feel like people who pretend like it's not uh that there's no cost to it that like it doesn't take away from things in america like that's a little bit naive. You know, if you're going to spend a shitload on the military and you're going to spend on foreign aid,

like it's going to take away from America. Friendly reminder, the United States gives more foreign aid to everybody else in the world than everybody else in the world combined every year. Right. Yes. We just gave a million to Vietnam. I don't know if you guys know that. Oh, yeah.

For the hurricane. Yeah. That's something that like, and I'll put this out there as somebody from like an opposite perspective who doesn't like a lot of Ukraine funding and things like that. And like, yes, I probably one of the best arguments I've ever heard in favor of that. It's like, okay, if we're spending so much on defense spending, it's to weaken our strategic enemies. And if we can do that without spending any American lives, I totally understand.

And not only that, but a lot of our weapon systems that we currently have built have been built with the idea of taking out the weapon systems that for the first time in human history are in play. And we can see how those weapon systems do against those, like, you know, Russian tanks, Chinese, stuff like that. We have learned so much. Oh, yeah. And while I don't agree with it necessarily to a degree of like,

hey, let's not maybe spend half a trillion dollars doing that, I understand the argument. It makes sense to a degree. So let me reduce that argument even further because, like, here's what I'll say about it is that it's so it's not even like a trillion it's 26 billion that in terms of like cold hard cash that we're sending to ukraine over three years it's 26 billion but factoring in equipment and everything right so then you have to factor in how much does the equipment cost which is equipment that we were going to like get rid of anyway and offload

anyway and it actually costs more to hang on to but I wouldn't even look at it in terms of like weakening the enemy because to me that's a weak argument like let's weaken the enemy that to me isn't even worth it I mean sorry the only thing that you argued is fucking bullshit still the best part is

all the difference I didn't mean it that way this is great a couple of claws to me that sounds like is all the difference. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way. A couple of claws deep. To me, that sounds like somebody that is a homosexual. Yeah, that's all right. Wait, did you see my Grindr profile? Is that what's happening right now? I was wondering why my phone was going off.

He was holding it. So far, he hasn't seen any women on there, but he's holding it. Turn left in two feet fuck oh oh stop kissing no but it is good you have like difference of opinion you shaking your head no to what brandon is saying is look we're not killing each other crazy uh but expand on to what you're talking about like break that down so to me me, it's more about, to me, if I'm going to be honest with you guys right now, can I? Love it.

I'm going to say that I don't mean this. Can I say that I don't mean this? But like America is an empire. It is an empire. We're an empire, guys. Like we are a frigging empire. We are everywhere. We have 800 bases all over the world we are an empire and if what

happens to an empire when we retreat when an empire retreats when an empire is like i'm done like i'm out and so uh you look at the british empire when they were unable to protect the suez canal when you look at uh the dutch empire when they fell apart when you look at the Dutch Empire, when they fell apart, when you look at the Ottoman Empire, any empire that's unable to protect their foreign interests, they fall apart. And what happens to them after that is that their dollar, their currency falls apart. And their currency is usually like the reserve currency of the world. And right now the dollar is the reserve currency. currency so my argument is that if we are an empire which we are i feel like we're an empire uh if you let that fall apart to me i look at foreign aid like it is an insurance policy it sucks to pay your car insurance i hate paying my car insurance but when i freaking fucking like

when i just i need to get into the left lane, and I just, I cut that guy off, and I hit him, and it wasn't my fault, officer, but this got real, I totaled my BMW, and goddammit, Tammy, I just want to see my kids. This just got real serious. Guys, we are an empire, okay? And if we don't invest in this empire, and it falls apart, and the dollar dies, we are an empire okay and if we don't invest in this empire and it falls apart and the dollar dies we are in trouble can i counter that on top absolutely there's also a difference between uh an empire well acknowledging that we are an empire versus what we should be doing should we

be an empire should we be spending all this money in these foreign places versus should we be structuring our entire economy? And if we're going to be stealing money from the average American taxpayer to fund certain things, is that where it should be going? Or should we be strengthening our own economy and establishing the dominance of the dollar through peace and trade versus through foreign interests that have nothing to do with us. Dude, that's the multi-billion dollar question because you're absolutely right. This is what I think no one can prove, which is that what is more beneficial from the American interest point of view? Like, is it more, so we gain, I think we can agree. I think we both see the other side. I think we can agree that we gain a lot

by having so many people dependent on us, for instance. Like Europe is dependent on us for instance like europe is dependent on us for security and uh we get a lot for that a couple times yeah yeah um back-to-back champions so what i'm saying is like we get a lot for that we're able to use sanctions as more able to use our money as a weapon our money is like more powerful than a bomb when we use our sanctions we can kill more people with our sanctions than we can with a uh with a bunker and geneva bitch is less about it yeah and we do it right so we like looking at you canadians throw so much weight in the un and like we can just around we do what we want we're on top holy shit but then there's the other side of the argument which is like i like would it be

because you're breaking down both sides so well love it dude so the other side of the argument is that so we benefit a lot from that we certainly benefit a lot from being the top dogs but the other side of the argument which is that you which are what you're arguing for is is that we would actually benefit more from allocating that money differently, which I don't think you can prove. I don't think you can – you're lying if you say you can prove one way or the other. Because, okay, if we were to invest all that money in America instead, it would just change the game radically from how we've been doing it. So I can't, I will, to be honest, I can't say it's like you say you report on stuff now where it's like, well, it's most likely going to do this, but you don't know. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. I will say from a historical sense. And again, I'm a student of history. I pay a lot of close attention to everything that happens in history. And it sucks. Like, I totally agree with you. We don't want to pay all this goddamn money to keep everybody stable we don't want to we don't want to send all this aid like i would much rather i i am a huge like person when it comes to like take care of americans i'm huge on that but i also understand like you guys are talking about taking care of americans also means taking the fight to the enemy's front door before they come here i also like but historically whenever we enter into isolationism which is the early 1900s and again in the 1930s a world war broke out somebody pulled us in every single time the united states entered into isolationism like we're

gonna just do our own thing you guys fuck off i'll also put this out there when you're talking about empires empires usually fail when they overexpand and they're unable to provide for their own and that's why they collapse that's own. And that's why they collapse. That's why they retreat. That's why they pull back. Not because they voluntarily pulled back, but because they couldn't, but because they had problems at home. They couldn't financially afford the empire they built. So do you want to know what the greatest argument for me was? Actually, I saw it was a tweet that you made.

Actually, Cody, you were talking about what street was it? Sorry, I shouldn't say basically what it really was about is like all these people from these hurricane uh got victims of these hurricanes and like they're getting six 750 bucks or something i'm like something is broken here obviously like if we're unable to provide for our own people, like no matter what benefit that we get from foreign aid, and I'm for foreign aid. This is someone saying from the perspective of someone who's for like foreign aid, something is clearly broken if we're not also able to like provide for Americans. I did want to actually ask about that because I got caught up. Same tweet because people started tagging me in your tweet about your mom.

And it's because I kind of took that hard stance about like, well, this is where the money is allocated. If you pay attention to the bills, like the vast majority of it goes right back into the U.S. economy. Like we're paying ourselves for our own shit. And I – shout out to Zach, veteran with a sign love that dude i called him we had a long conversation he's like sometimes you don't see the the forest through the trees and i was like what do you know i took a step back and i looked at all the facts and everything was coming out and what i had i got red pilled myself into is the federal government said that they were delivering this this this this this this this this like they had a list of things that they were delivering to the american south but you know

what i didn't listen to was the people who lived there and weren't getting it that's where like so i was like hey they're they're taken care of they got all this shit and i that's when i backpedal i'll straight up like i don't normally apologize when it comes to social media but i immediately backpedal like look i was wrong i thought you guys were getting all of this that i saw and you're not like that's where where i had to take a big step back eat that humble pie be like okay we up something's done eli have you heard about raycon's everyday e25 earbuds eli eli you must have had the noise cancellation on. I did. I couldn't hear anything. Just like I wish I couldn't feel anything. Oh, you mean these ones? Yeah. And I also thought, whoa, those are the same audio quality as the big guys, but for half the price. But if you haven't pulled

the trigger on these little guys, do it. Plus, they have a 32-hour battery life, meaning your days of raw-dogging flights are over. And 10 minutes of charging yields you 90 minutes of battery. Wait, it has a quick charge function? That's what I just f***ing said. Also, Raycon just launched their updated models of the everyday earbuds. Weatherproof and or sweat-resistant.

It was like when empires overextend, do you feel like maybe we're like overextended at this point?

I feel like when we can't afford to pay the interest on the debt we've already borrowed, we are hyperextending. And the people that are paying the price are the people that are paying the price of inflation, radical inflation. We're continuing to borrow money from our enemies. We are weakening ourselves. And the one thing that we have going on in the global economy is the American dollar, the USD. And when you have things like bricks, like alliances of, you know, Brazil, Russia, India,

China, like our enemies are actively forming against us right now economically. And the, our, our number one priority is weakening the American dollar to pay for an empire. We can't afford. I feel like that's an issue. And I feel like we need to be spending that money here at home and cutting

costs and, and figuring out how we raise our, like start american growth all over again that that that to me is a bigger priority is figuring out how to how to grow american jobs how to grow i feel like i'm back on the campaign trail right now and it's really giving me ptsd a little bit this is like i came for the come and i stayed for the geopolitics for you how do i let me let me interject one thing before you jump on that. This is conspiracy theory. I've stated this before. Conspiracy theory. I have nothing to back this up. No facts.

A lot of people are talking about World War III. Do you think right now it has already started just economically and not militarily? I think it's been started since the end of World War II. Alright. Financially speaking? Yeah, I'll prescribe to that. Not militarily, like financially speaking. Yeah, I was going to agree.

I would even say militarily, especially with... So when North Koreans were deployed to Russia, that then tied in. Which we didn't even talk about that at all. I want to hear you fucking talk about this. So that tied in. The CIA believes that there's 13,000 North Koreans, which is the largest conventional deployment of troops to Europe.

There's no historical precedent for it. Really, when you look through history, like North Koreans or Asian troops on the European soil, there's really no. Remember the last time? This is the battle with ukraine just to touch base this is even in their pamphlets as you're saying they are now putting it in north korean for hopefully to grab defectors like hey yo what's up if you come over here you get three hoth in a cot we won't do anything and north korean soldiers know how shit it is so if they hear that it is the idea it's like hey you surrender we'll take

care of you on this they put them on a cargo ship they shipped them to vladivostok they put them on the longest railroad trains i saw a comment on one of the videos i did and it was like these troops went from not seeing anywhere outside their country to suddenly being on the longest railroad track in the world. Well, maybe they're just backpacking to find themselves. That is a journey of self-discovery. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Imagine the sisterhood of the traveling pants, North Korea.

The sisterhood of the traveling xxxs pants this is an autistic episode i love it so much the wreck the prerequisite knowledge for half the jokes on this podcast they're in they are, these jokes. Then you need to be in. You need to be on the in. It's crazy seeing that. Because I didn't even know that was going on. You brought that up recently. And you were talking. How many defectors maybe have happened at this time?

The interesting part is that already Russians are complaining about, how do we integrate these guys? We've only got three interpreters for every 30 of them. So Ukraine is basically intercepting their radio transmissions, and they're already seeing what the Russians are saying. The Russians are already derogatorily referring to them as the Chinese. They're already not down with it. Because I remember when I was in Iraqaq like we had the iraqi force with us and we didn't always refer to them politely but my point is

no but it's crazy but we're not we're not even like thinking about how crazy it is because it is involving the pac in the European conflict. And it's like, it's, so then at the same time, also the Middle East is popping off and it's kind of, so to the normie, to the regular war enjoyor. Enjoyor, that was really drawn out. Did you say that in British? Are you guys not from New York? You might look at that and think like we're in World War III.

But also I would also like to remind everybody that there's other points in history where, you know, the Korean War, you could look at that and also think, wow, World War III is about to pop off from that perspective. Because you had, you know, China was literally fighting u.s troops u.n troops it was almost hotter back then vietnam with the french and the china like right and also uh the berlin like uh the east and the west the soviet union versus the west was way hotter too so you know yeah it's bad right now but also there's hope however the casualty list in the last two years. In terms of them, Russia and Ukraine? Russia and Ukraine, yeah. That's brutal.

It's pretty brutal compared to most conflicts. And if you're adding now to the fact that, like, okay, America is, whether you want to say directly or indirectly involved, we're there. And now the Asian continent is getting involved. It's like, all right, well, we're brewing all the ingredients right now the the biggest question is like how do we peaceful well how do we non-escalate so i try to a little bit sometimes put myself in the shoes of like someone in poland and i love the polish right they're beautiful people i love the polish god bless them so what would we do if so the distance distance between – I'm going to get this wrong, but I think it's like – what is it? The distance between Warsaw and the front lines is as if you were traveling from here to North Carolina.

Sorry, from New York to North Carolina. I believe it's about – They also got that little slice. Was it Kaliningrad or whatever? If you ask Tonyony gonzalez not far imagine though you're driving eight hours like man it's a beautiful sunday you want to go see war and you drive eight hours to a frontline conflict you wouldn't even have to trade off unless you were like you can't even like do a an eight hour drive come on that's like that's the capital of the first world country yeah i say that because i mean i couldn't yeah no he's absolutely right like poland has been

arming to the fucking teeth like and i don't know where they're getting all this money from but poland is the most like militarily expansive and explosive country that i've ever seen like compared to everybody ever well i've made this joke on the podcast before but i'm like for like 50 years their country didn't exist. Yeah, that's fair. Because if, you know, people, basically, they are the fucking, if you have two pitbulls playing tug of war, that's Poland. Yeah. Brandon, I think we could probably, I mean, I don't want to speak for you, but I feel like we could probably agree that, like, those European countries, it'd be nice if they paid more for towards their defense well I think that's where a lot

of the America first movement kind of like it's irritated with that where it's like you guys are way closer to the conflict and the United States is one of the few countries that actually can that actually donates completes their agreement to NATO was it two and a half percent or something which should be GDP yeah and we it's like we do like three and a half uh yeah we're right behind estonia was the top of their gdp and then poland and then us but that like most of the countries in europe that are part of nato don't give a fuck they don't contribute they they don't because you're supposed to be contributing

a certain percentage of your gdp toward military defense per year but they and then their flip side is uh or one of the issues that was raised was there's no punishment for not doing it, right? I mean, what we haven't so far. Now most of them reach 2% at this point. But the thing is, 2% really should be 4%. So that's kind of the goalpost is moving. But I think Estonia spent almost 10 percent like it's

crazy high what estonia spent i mean but estonia is right there right on the phone like they're i think estonia borders estonia is the battered women's shelter of the ussr like that's fucking i get why they're fucking upset i think america should spend like imagine if we spent 30% the toys we could have. Wait, is that not? No, we love it. We just get it. It's important to note that right now, America

is designing, let me see, three or four different directed energy weapons. We could have a Death Star. You were just like, let's invest more into this. I want some dope equipment. He's in the party afternoon let's invest more into this. I want some dope equipment. He's in the party afternoon. He's like, man, I want super DARPA.

At least it's Jimmy. What about a super DARPA? Give him that shit from Aliens. Just take Skunkworks and DARPA, put them together. We call them Scarpa. Let's make some shit out of them. We have Skunkworks flags DARPA put them together. We call them SCARPA. Let's make some shit out of them. We have Skunkworks flags. Can I promote?

What if? Okay, what if? I'm loving these what ifs. Let's do it. One of my favorite things we used to do in the military when we were on guard tower duty is we would do would you rather. Okay. I love a good would you rather. I thought we were about to talk about war

crimes rather kill an innocent civilian no no what do an extra shift I was going to say, I was like, wow. We'll be right back. We'll be right back after these messages. Technical difficulties. No, I was going to say, what if... Happy Veterans Day. Everyone's like, god damn right. This is the best episode I've ever been on.

They just keep... The tear keeps on going up. I fucking love it so much. What if? I was going to say, this is what no one thinks of, though, but what if we joined forces with China? It'd be like if the rebels and the Imperial Army joined forces. Who could stop us?

I get where you're going. Who could stop us? I get where you're going. Who could stop us? We wouldn't have access to graphics cards for a while. Oh yeah, we would. They're jumping off. Oh yes. We'll just take Taiwan

right off. Con plan 99.99. It is, we join forces with China. Xi Jinping. If you're out there. No, I don't like you, PJ. On sub is the reason these two nations join. No, no, no.

They can't stop us. Europe can't stop us. The Pacific can't stop us. Alright. That's it. This episode. Happy Thursday, world domination. It all started with us. You play too much

risk, my boy. Just hear me out. So fuck France. All I'm saying... Come on. France, what's their GDP every year? Come on. China and us, we would be unstoppable.

But there's a whole like that... I don't like where you're going. There's that whole like human rights aspect of us teaming up with China, man. Fuck. I wish Nick was here. Oh, he's feeling it right know. Nick-a-boo.

Oh, he's feeling it right now. Could you please- Your phone's gonna ring. There's a disturbance in the force. Could you please say, search your feelings in an Asian accent? Search our feelings, please. Four vets and one active duty service member. Oh my god, you got to search the field

in general? Got to use the force? Okay, okay. Oh, shit. I like how that started. Man, North Korea's fighting with Russia. That's where we ended. I feel like we completely, we didn't even

talk about the implications of that. We'll go back now. It's the we ended. I feel like we completely, we didn't even talk about the implications of that. We'll go back now. It's the same thing with the Korean War. We're just going to send in some Marines that are going to farm them for XP. That's what it says. That's what the fuck we do. Nick. Nick, how do you feel about this? Oh, if you

actually just called Nick and be like, hey, these two joining forces. Because our boy is currently recovering from titty surgery we're the podcast we're on the podcast should should the United States team up with China for what so I'm making the argument Nick hi it's Chris Cappy how are you first of all thank you for inviting me on um yeah just wanted to say, how dope would it be if we joined forces with Xi Jinping and we just ran this shit? The iPhone 17 would actually be cool. We love you, buddy. We miss you.

That was a better response than I could have asked for. Oh, my God. What the fuck? Oh, I love this so much. Can we get guilt-free iPhones? Oh, shit. Holy shit. Well, if my career wasn't over before we're definitely there so close i don't even know where to go from there god that's an olive that is to me that's an olive branch that's all i'm gonna say is that like that's me reaching out to the other side and i've i've talked to them before on twitter actually i've reached out to uh china yeah the mss it's like the china's version of the

cia and when you reached out to them or they like no actually i'll say this they actually they retweeted they dunked on me okay yeah they dunked on me on twitter and they got me pretty good i'll say they ratioed me pretty nice. It's amazing what happens when you own all the bots. Yeah. The bot bonds were aimed at me and they got me good. And sometimes, you know what? Sometimes you got to take the L and they dunked on me.

What happened? So I reached out to them after that, after they retreated me, and they said, like, hey, yeah, we're aware of who you are. And I said, can I come out and I'd love'd love to like observe what you guys are up to not in a spy capacity okay i was like this is not at all and he said it's kind of crazy because i don't know if there's any other capacity i'd love to observe what you guys are up to you put it that way yeah i need to relearn my spy when i put it that way? Yeah, I need to relearn my spycraft. When I put it that way, that was what you said! You said what I said back to me, and now it doesn't make sense. Now that you've repeated what I said, I hate it! He's like a closet communist or something.

Listen here, lady, how fast can you run no but so the ccp is out there on twitter and um the he's like talking about how his family ran like the propaganda arm of the ccp since you know the uh the the revolution of mao zedong and so i'm talking to him and i'm asking him, Hey, can I come out and like hang out over there? And he said, due to the geopolitical tensions of right now, no. And so this is my new olive branch is like, guys,

let's join forces. Okay. We've got like 10, the last 10 years. Here's the olive branch. All I'm saying is the last 10 years of Marvel movies. I might be able to bring this one back. What has the Avengers been leading to? Captain America, Iron Man, US, China.

That's how we fucking get there. Okay, so hang on. Am I wrong? Let me caveat that there. Okay, so hang on. But what about this? Am I wrong? Let me caveat that there because we don't do caveat or piggyback. We say caveat where I'm from. I love it. We're going to caveat that.

And I think that this could happen as long as we have an alien invasion. Alien invasion. We team up. Yes. That would be it. That would be it. I think the entire world teams up at that point. It's time to that the premise behind

every alien movie ever? They're trying to make humanity come together. You know what's crazy though? They're trying to make them come. We're like, no, aliens! Stop! Let's just pick somebody who really...

This is awesome! Can we just pick somebody who really sucks? Like Carl. Why do we need an alien invasion? Can we just pick somebody who really sucks like Carl? Instead of, why do we need an alien invasion? Let's just find someone who really sucks. It's just so world rallies against one random dude. That poor guy's like, what did I do? I posted a video of me wrestling.

Get him! Just everyone hates this. i've been finding these the aliens are like they killed the squirrel yeah dude i found these uh on the rare occasion i scroll through my tiktok i don't know if you guys have seen these you've seen the ones it's like a like a like some dude doing a minecraft jumping puzzle in the background and they just take an ai voice and like read a story yeah dude but i why has no one fucking made this in every single alien versus human movies the aliens are always op and the humans suck but like these stories are all written as if like humans are like the barbarians of the cosmos and it's really cool like there was one there was like

this is when we learned not to mess with the humans and they like like abducted like three or four humans they're like take these and see if you can turn them into weapons they're like they say the humans are super resourceful like humans came up with all these new weapons from like random shit that they found they're like these guys are dangerous like what the fuck are these things and like why don't we have any movies like that where just people show up and humans are like okay we're gonna fuck you up now we're gonna just completely exterminate you and show you who is in maybe that's 40k that might be i'm not a 40k guy maybe that's how 40k happened we're just like we're in god's image and i'm gonna murder you as i always say technologically if they can travel

here they're going to butt rape us no matter how you look at if they've made it to earth like oh you're still at nukes that's cute so okay i mean everything i've heard about the aliens is that they're already here everything he's heard everything he knows okay right now they're already here we've gone from zombies to warfare to north korea to aliens i love this this is the best episode. You guys are talking crazy. They're already here. They're under the water, guys. They're under the water.

They've been here for eons. Are you talking about Mexicans? No, those ones swim. Wait, there's Mexicans hiding in the water? You're calling me a what-bag? Under the water? Where are you going with this i love how like the government came out about it right like right as everything was just civil unrest was all crazy and the government was like hey aliens are real and everyone's like i don't

give a there's some shit going on over here like nobody gave a look at the uh the mass deportation that happened under i believe it was eisen Really? I didn't even know that happened. I was like, oh, God. Eisenhower, I believe it was. It was 1953. Operation. Please tell me it's something super racist. It's Operation ****.

Are you fucking kidding me? I'm dead fucking serious. I mentioned this on the campaign trail because it was just the funniest thing in the world to me. I believe it's a thing. I cannot tell if you were joking right now. No, I'm dead fucking serious. I joke around. People are like, you can't do mass deportation. I'm like, oh, we've done it before.

It is an actual thing. Operation **** was an immigration law enforcement initiated and created by Joseph Swing, retired United States Army Lieutenant General. 1954 in June is when it happened. I was one year off oh my god dude the short-lived operation

used military style tactics tactics to remove mexican immigrants i just like they're like hey we gotta remove the mexicans we'll call it wait call operation way less racist rolling we were way up we were way more on the nose oh my god the fact that is specifically targeted Mexicans and it's called operationally different way worse it is just Mexican yeah and a fucking pig pen God you guys have a great idea for a video oh my god you're gonna need prison guards

so I guess me and Cody as soon as they got millions of Americans back from Europe at the end of World War 2 they're like oh that was fucking easy all eyes turn to Mexico like wait a minute oh my what what i i one of my favorite things like throughout history when it comes to like the united states

is okay i'm gonna be real with you we have committed genocide like everybody has okay but we exterminated like a lot of natives oh fuck like 250 million like a lot of natives and i love how like we backpedal in World War II. We're like, hey, can you speak that language that no one else speaks? How many millions? I want to say it's 225 million. It's like, if it's 250, that's not okay.

I'd be like, about 22 million about that time. I swear it was like in the 200 category. Because at that time of the United States, like, that's like, population drops. I could be wrong. I United States, that's like population drops. I could be wrong. I could have swore it was over 200. Guys, it was only 25.

But I just love how the U.S. backpedaled and was like, hey, can you speak that language that no one else in the world speaks on a radio for us calling tanks turtles and shit? And they were just like, yeah. Even better, put Nick Cage in it. Now paint him brown. We were just talking about how bad that was. That movie was not good. just like yeah even better put Nick Cage in it now every once in a while I like about once a year I call I like to call it get I get into the cage and I just watch like a shit ton of Nick! I call it getting into the cage. Willy's Wonderland, brother. I haven't seen that one. Which one was that?

I'm so happy with this episode. I'm so curious! I was all over the place. Oh, I didn't see it. Willy's Wonderland? No, I didn't see that one. Oh, it's bad. Don't watch it. That means I need to watch it. It's good. Yeah, like, it's good if you like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. Are you- okay, so. The Rock? Or Con Air?

Con Air. Con Air, 100%. I love The Rock. So this is a great... That hurts. That is a difficult question. Will you really like The Rock better? The Rock more than Con Air? Yeah.

Don't get me wrong. I like Con Air because his hair is just absurd. And every instance is just out of control. What do you like about The Rock? Okay, let me just hit you with this monologue. We've been arrested by a bunch of pain for pleasure seeking psychopathic marines. I about the monologue? Okay, let me just hit you with this monologue. We've been arrested by a bunch of pain-for-pleasure-seeking psychopathic marines. I love that monologue.

That's one of my favorite monologues ever. We never got any gifts from The Rock. That's fair. What's the big gift from Connor? What in the name of Zeus' butthole? We did get that gift from The Rock. Which one? He's like, how in the name of Zeus' butthole

did you get out of your cell zeus's butthole we got that i haven't seen that you're gonna have to i love the idea that like you're a military man so you know when he's in court in the beginning and it's like you're you would be held to a higher standard and i'm watching i'm like that's ridiculous he's an army ranger he's deadly with with his hands. That's why he got convicted. He's fighting eight people, one with a knife. And they're like, well, you're an army ranger. You registered weapon.

You killed one of them. In reality, it's like you killed three. Of course. And it's, I just want to get home to my wife. But I watched, I watched Con or knows. I watched Con Air and then i watched an interview with nick cage and apparently one of his most requested like when he meets people in public they're like can you say you know apparently everyone has that catchphrase

um his is put the bunny back in the box which is apparently his his most requested saying yeah that movie's what like 25 years old now i hate thinking about that oh my god it was a good movie like i mean this those are those are peak cage like the rock and and uh fucking con air peak cage i mentioned that i was born in the 80s recently and someone was like what i just like dude i know we're all the shit amount of actors in that too dude dude. Oh, yeah. You've had Danny Trejo. Dave Chappelle. Dave Chappelle. Is fucking in that. He bites it in that, I think.

Bashimi. Where does he live? I forgot. Yeah, Steve Bashimi. He escapes. John Malkovich is the bad guy in it. I think that's one of John, like Cyrus the Virus is one of John Malkovich's best. Like no matter what he plays in, he will always be Cyrus the Virus.

Like he plays criminally insane. Yes. best like no matter what he plays in he will always be cyrus the virus like he plays criminally insane yeah also can we just point out the fact that there was a movie uh back in the 90s called becoming john malkovich yep literally being being john yeah yeah where you just like you crawl through a like air vent in your fucking office job and you just become john malkovich and he knows this happens and everyone's john malkovich. That was, um, what the fucking Charlie Kaufman. No, the main, uh, it was... A guy from 2012. Wasn't it? Like the guy with the boombox?

Say Anything? John Cusack. John Cusack. Yeah, Cusack was a main guy. It was written by Charlie Kaufman and starring... How do you know that? So I have two things that I have a little bit of a problem with and like I'm obsessed with military and I'm obsessed with the movies

and those like yeah. Welcome to the world. Like people would make fun of me We're getting a lot more and more. I love it. Hell yeah. Everyone's like Cappy Fitz right here. People would quiz me when I was like on a bus and I was five and People would quiz me when I was on a bus

when I was five and they would ask me who's in the Batman movie? And I'd say Danny DeVito plays the Penguin because I just have a problem. I forgot about Danny DeVito being the Penguin. It was a good Penguin. He's been like a short, fat

old guy for 40 years. Yes. Danny DeVito and he's the main actor. It was a good penguin. He's been like a short, fat, old guy for four years. He's doing sub-combatials. Yes. Danny DeVito. And he's the main actor of... Oh, he sent me. And he's like, hey, this is my job. Yes, he is.

Have you guys seen him? Yes, he is. I love when these nasty, ugly bitches argue with me on Twitter. I always put the Danny DeVito and the penguin back up there. He's just a ball with tiny little twig legs. Have you guys seen Red, the retired extremely dangerous? Just watch that again. The other day, I like, I think his character in there, like he's still Cyrus, the virus.

He just, he just is, But he plays really, really good. Brother, I'm getting the pig. I'm getting the pig! And then he just fucking pins that one woman against the wall. And he's like, she's a spy! She's been following us! And she's freaking out. Come to find out she actually is a goddamn spy.

She was following us. It's got some of the worst gunplay in a movie I've ever seen. It's trash. What was in the pig? It was a thumper, right? Yeah, it was a 40mm fucking grenade launcher. It's trash. What was in the pig? It was a thumper, right? Yeah, it was a 40mm fucking grenade launcher. It was like an M203 with stock.

Yeah. Or something like that. Oh, the M79? No. It was not a... Oh, the f***. I thought it was the one-shot one. So the new new one was the M320, which I hate. Really? You don't like the 320 320 so i like it as a standalone

yes it has an under oh under it's huge yeah it's fucking gross right this podcast has been on the journey and i fucking love it favorite movie like top you're like if i know it's always hard to be like hey but if you like some of my favorite three you like click. It was not hard for him. Fight Club is in the top three easily. The book as well. But I would almost argue that the movie is a little bit better than the book in that instance. Other top three. Some of my favorite recent ones would be. I mean, so I'm watching Penguin right now.

The TV series. A lot of great TV. It's really amazing. Yeah. But what about you? i will think of more as you um what are some of your favorite dune probably oh dude did you like the second one though i couldn't get into timothy chalamet is hot as fuck and like i mean that i just like how confident i see if you henry cavill for me i'm like big, hot as fuck. That's good.

Dude's a good looking dude. I don't fuck dudes, but Henry Cavill. No, but I couldn't get into this part two. I don't know what it was, but the first one I really liked. No shit. The second one was... You liked the first one more than the second one. I just...

Maybe it was... You ever catch something at the wrong time and just not ready for it they seemed half done they just didn't seem complete I know they're trying to drag it out for several movie series cinematics were good, there were some things that didn't really make any sense I got to the end of the movie

I'll tell you this the only reason I enjoyed the Dune series is because I had Cody next to me for both movies in the theater and he was just explaining to me shit that I would have never known. I was like, yeah, because I got to the end and I was like, what the fuck is going on? You can appreciate it on a different

level if you're like, yeah. I grew up reading the books. I fucking love Herbert. I love those books. When Brandon and I were watching, I'm like, okay, this is why they use knives and why the shields don't work. Who's the bitch

putting his hand in the box? That sort of shit. That's a Benny Jesseret. They're basically space witches that have been around for generations. They control everything. Yeah, and you have to remember, going into these, a majority of directors, and this is top-level directors, a majority of directors and this is top level

directors writers they're like this is impossible to make to a screenplay because it is as cody will tell you so much information you're like and how many years from one and two should pass jesus from the one and two are directly together so like when one, that's when they go out to the desert. So those are together. But then you go to three, we're about to get into it. That's going to be like another 20 years passes. And then like book

four, it's another like 30,000 years. It's fucking wild. I'm just like, when does he become a sandworm i didn't that laid the ground sorry oh go ahead go ahead i was just gonna say that i feel as though dune laid the groundwork for all of uh you know like star wars to come basically all none of that would have happened without dune yeah frank frank herbert paved the way for like star wars and

everything to happen yeah so i've looked i like looking into the history of so when he wrote those books is an interesting time because you think about like was he talking about the middle east or was it kind of like just it seems as though it wasn't maybe necessarily no he was talking about the different culture that lived in the sand that declared jihad on the world and the spice is not oil because i always said people were like you're going to Iraq you're fighting for oil it's your blood for oil like what else is worth dying for it starts our he just dismounted the hind or the fucking black hawk I need to pee on that I will say the Middle East was I just black hawked every time

you landed this map dude you guys are gonna f*** up so much shit I will say that I think the Middle East was a lot more like cool and chill before Iran's Islamic revolution before that like have you seen pictures of Iran in the 70s oh yeah it's beautiful it looks like the u.s like people dress normal like they're economically great and then islamic revolution 5 000 people died and all of a sudden burkas

like it's it was just wild man like they're they're like people just chilling by swimming pools yeah like beautiful women in bikinis and stuff yeah it's like i just went straight downhill that's why we never liked each other in the beginning you saw that lebanese nose and you're just like the nose you know actually cody i don't know because you play video games have you ever played and you can only buy it on i think you can buy it on disc now you can't digitally download it have you ever played empire battle for dune no it's a real-time strategy in the doom universe or a dune universe no shit so it's like like civilization or like command and conquer yeah okay and i played as i want to say it was atreides they had these like these big air platforms that have machine guns underneath

them so like by the time the enemy would send in an army i just them up the whole way but yeah empire battle for dune no dude i never played it yeah you can you can still get it in some places it's pretty cheap but yeah you can get it you know they're coming out with a new dune game too right oh yeah the the open world one yeah it's like an mmo isn't it yeah it's gonna be like an mmo uh capcom's coming out i'm not a huge mmo fan but i do like there are certain things that i like uh about it honestly lately i've been just getting into survival games i fuck with survival games what are you employing uh lately so because i'm a bit of a casual um lately i've gotten into there's two survival games that come out one is called planet crafter where the entire thing is like there's no enemies like the

environment is your enemy but you're terraforming an entire planet and then the other one is eden crafter which is like factorio meets planet crafter so i got like conveyor belts going everywhere it's like a snapshot into my brain like everything's just fucking connected it's it's nuts but you have to terraform like in planet crafter you're just terraforming the whole planet as one in eden crafter you have to terraform each individual section so like you got to run water pipes up to get your fertilizers to run and you got to run conveyor belts to get this thing to work like it's kind of cool dude i love factorio it's so yeah it's called factorio right oh yeah it's factorio where you have all like the different fucking conveyor belts oh dude you have some enemies that come in they don't matter though they're not it's weird that the enemies in that game are a part of it because

you just kill them so quickly yeah you just hold down a button shoot them real quick and it's dude factorio is fucking wildly fun it's like your tism on steroids because you want to get every efficiency to like the highest level you possibly can you want everything to be connected but yeah eden crafter it's still in pre-release and it's i mean it's got some fucking bugs crazy games like that are built to reward people with autism it really is it's wild it's so good i'm playing any games right now bud oh hell yeah i play so many games right now um i'm playing most of the games i play are on ps5 so i like a game that you can like get into and then get out real quick because it's like hard to put the time effort into anymore yeah We played Shroud recently, which I love that game,

but it does take a lot of effort. It's like an investment. It really is. It's another survival game. It's a survival game, but you can be like a wizard, a paladin. There's skill trees and shit like that. There's another update dropping November 5th, and they're opening the whole north.

I was blown away by the game because you could dig into the ground. It's just crazy. The games that I normally play are like Warhammer 40,000 where you can just get in and just murk a bunch of bugs and get out. I haven't played Space Marine 2. I heard it was really good. What were you guys talking about?

Command & Conquer, by the way, that's an inside joke on the channel because that's one of my favorite generals. So I crashed a LAN network in Manas, Kyrgyzstan with command and conquer generals i was playing with a bunch of my buddies and uh it was called shooters they had there they had like a land network and i was i told them i was like i'm really good at this game they're like all right well let's do us versus you we'll build for 20 minutes and we ran a timer and i built and built and built and they got through like three out of my six layers like they got pretty far uh maybe

four out of my six layers and then i was like all right time for a counter-attack and what i found was an area of the map nobody was at and i just amassed every like i was just constantly building troops and sending them that way so all they saw was a blue blob like just move across the fucking map and when i locked horns with the first enemy base the whole thing locked up and crashed i crashed the whole what's your what's your go-to cody what's like your when you're trying to blow off some steam rim world i haven't played that is it actually it's fucking brilliant dude what type of game are we talking about what type is it it's like a base builder type game really and you can't tell the characters what to do you just build the base around them like dwarf fortress yeah it's exactly dwarf fortress but in space dwarf fortress buddy oh dude i know we had entire segments we were

originally with the podcast it was gonna have segments for dwarf fortress because how off the rails that game can go with its primitive ai i now know how you felt during the geopolitics okay truck month is on at Chevrolet.

You get both on-road confidence and off-road capability dirt road ahead let's go truck month is awesome ask your shepard lay dealer for details you're talking about murder boat do you remember talking about that murder but all dude like

reading those stories you like kodu will attest to this there are entire stories and it prints out as shit is happening in the game you have no like it is very much hands off you're building how you do your base and all these little things and then it has stories about each character and every character has a story that is automatically or procedurally generated and then it reacts to what is going on so you have the the giant story about um cody will tell his so we have the the i forget what is it's the queen when she's like giving birth and the it's getting overrun by orcs and they're like fighting doors are dying and then she gives birth to hers and goes into a birth to a child the king the next the next king. Oh, I've heard this story. And then she pulls the baby out

and then uses that as a battle weapon and destroys all the orcs that are rushing in. And that is just one of many stories. And it's talking about her, like, cleaving heads off with this baby. Planned Parenthood 40K. Shit. Oh, my God. oh my god and it's just this queen this is like holy dude have you welcome to the podcast i'll just wait and then you have murder boat oh okay so murder boat is a whole story about people took dwarf fortress and they would have

i can't remember the exact specifications of it but it was one person would have the map for like 24 hours or something. And then we'd pass it to the next person. But the one story I love the most is like one of the dwarves fell in a moat that they had built around their castle. And the orcs like kept falling into the moat. Of course, that's what it was for. It was a defense. But that one dwarf was down there. But that one weak dwarf kept killing all the orcs.

And he powered up so much that he climbed out of the fucking moat and was just killing everything on the map. And they couldn't stop him because he was so powerful. So they collapsed the bridge. And that one dwarf lived. And he lived at the bottom. And he was just killing anything that survived. And then orcs were rushing in, and they fall in there. And there was literally this dwarf that was eating off of dead orc and just killing him. And it finally escaped, and it was just psychotic because you'll go berserk and you have no control.

So it's just roaming the land side. He's just a god. Yeah, murdering everything. Born in the darkness. Dude, just a god. Yeah born the darkness I don't know if you play survival games, but there was another one because you're talking about orcs and dwarfs So they this company came here which what their name is they launched one is called Return to Moria. It's Lord of the Rings Return to Moria. And you play,

it's eight player co-op, by the way. It's a survival game where you're fucking dwarves and you have to explore. The enemies in there, I have it on like one player difficulty, which means the enemies

are supposed to be easier and I play co-op and we still get our shit rocked. Like the enemies are so difficult to kill in that goddamn game. But like, you're just trudging through underground. You're like,

hey, I found a vein of gold. Let's go ahead and harvest this shit let's go fight these guys there's a orc over here that's enormous and shit i played that one for like a couple days i can't wait to watch the viewership drop off at this episode or it's just diving right now wait what's weird is it's like oh they're talking about that one or this and i can never predict it like i always look at the viewership graphs i'm like well i always say me then yeah i i pay attention to the retention like i live in the analytics of the video youtube to me it is my life it is my i

bleed youtube i can tell because of the amount of times you've made eye contact, you're doing it on purpose. Yes. And that's why I know. It's never natural. I'm like, oh, this guy knows his shit with data and analytics. We're just going to get over here with you. Hello. How you doing? Hi there. I'm good. And now it's two military guys together.

I was going to say, but it's offset by the military perks. Now he's just gay. Sometimes you... Again. I was going to say, but it's offset by the military perk. Now he's just gay. Again. It's like Marine Infantry. They're the gayest straight people you've ever met. I used to win every game of gay chicken that we played. My squad leader said I was the best at it.

Have you ever played with a medic? Medics have no lines, bro. The amount of shit medics have to shove in people's asses. I tried chicken with my medic i kissed a grown man no shame in my game and he won because like he did i went 90 he went straight up 10 and then he held it and i was like that's gross i can't do that dude it is it is a testament to watch um we were talking about this on the drive here you got really good leadership on analytics and everything in the YouTube space. Cause we talk about it all the time with, if you understand, if you just fucking learn analytics and what works and what doesn't,

you can go really far in this space. You had really good mentorship where the dude was like, Hey, this, this, and this. And then I didn't realize he controlled a lot. Oh,

I'm so lucky. I got to work with, there's this YouTube channel called donut media. Shoot. Like 6 million subscribers. He's like six million subscribers so I stole my fucking tag that's what they said step number one steal just like if they're better than you just steal their name no but like really lucky to have worked with them and and yeah there's like some things that just are universal that work across whether you're in like the police space the security space the defense space or the car space there's just some things that kind of work on youtube and yeah i was very lucky to work with the ceo of donut and learn a lot about

like what some of the visuals work yeah just well he was talking about um keywords phrases certain phrases on youtube that are and it's funny because it's like fads it's the same as in probably like the music industry where there's certain fads there's certain titles that kind of pop off if you use the legit it is legitimately insane or uh is a nightmare or is worse than you think or is better than you think and it works until it doesn't right and then you're like okay well what's the next thing and you right it's kind of formats that's what's crazy because we talk about if you we are boring during a lot of the time, we are working probably way too much. I can't stress how much fun we are lucky.

We are blessed to do this. But the amount of work on the back end from a day to day, you're like, oh, this is what we actively talk about and find interesting is like that shit on the drive here. I was like, well, i get the out of here this is how you go from a 10 to 10 to a 1 of 10 and you get to watch that actively really quickly he's like oh i just switched it to this and and only if like the content is there yeah because content is god content is on fleek and if the content is not there than by Felicia What you were you born again may marinate in the cringe Rhythm with the tits Skibbity oh god

Does that mean shit? I don't know bye everyone thank you i know you're like no stop talking about scimmities no but honestly like if it so my point is that if like the video sucks then doesn't matter what the title is doesn't matter what the thumbnail is but if the video is good and then the title and thumbnail support it and kind of it's like those things have to confluence together because like you can well that's one of the things that the algorithm did that I think kind of defeated clickbait is that if if people click on a video look expecting one thing right because let's say you have the best title best thumbnail in existence but your video sucks dick think if people click away

from it in five seconds then it depletes that in the algorithm yeah okay well that that's a good thing like if if your content sucks, then yeah, they're not gonna reward you for that. I tell people all the time, because obviously people I work with know what I do on the side, which is kind of like my main thing now, because the army is boring. But anyways, and they ask, they're like,

well, how do we do this, this, and this? And I was like, look, it starts with solid content. Because YouTube, at least in my experience, has one of the best discovery algorithms that I've ever seen like and i explained it like you ever like go online when you're a fucking like two trillion dollar company yeah your algorithms are pretty all right and like decently shaped you look up how to make like a whiskey and coke on youtube and then all of a sudden four hours later you're watching dudes build in the jungle with sticks and like that's the discovery algorithm going ham like that's what it is what do you guys watch on youtube can i ask that has this been asked

before a million times actually go for it bro i can't stop watching guys build cabins in the woods and it switches does your switch like you'll have a month and then yeah for whatever reason a new video that is older like your old style content you used to watch like months ago would pop back up it's like oh man i really do like that stuff and content you used to watch like months ago would pop back up it's like oh man i really do like that stuff and then it switches to that new subject for along so along that rabbit hole you ever get into um stealth camping yeah yeah like guys who are okay you dudes are my kind of weird so like i love watching i forget the guy's name but he'll like i think set up stealth camps behind walmart and he's like this is the I forget the guy's name, but he'll like set up stealth camps behind Walmart

He's like this is the best place around about There's a place that will be unnamed but like Okay, Steve across from our joint that we're just like Can I see it's probably that's probably yeah Steve Wallace this dude will find like camping in a yeah yes yes yes I love everything it's like all dudes

like you're the only one who's like what the fuck and all of us is like camping with Steve where he's gonna go to this round and that's all if we're talking about

the iceberg of like YouTube videos that's the tippy top because there is I'll just the weird shit and the stuff that I watch on YouTube

I consume so much YouTube at the very bottom you're like 36 views you're like I'm camping behind my ex-girlfriend because there is all just the weird shit and the stuff that i watch on youtube i consume so much youtube 36 views you're like i'm camping behind my ex-girlfriend's house and the problems with that are you even watching youtube if you're not getting arrested for the content? It's like watching dudes rent a U-Haul camper, and it's negative 30 degrees, but I'm going to camp in this U-Haul. I'm like, why would you do that? But I'm also just drawn into it so much, and I'll watch it all night.

Yes. I want you to know, from this conversation, you guys are going to start at least five new YouTube channels. People are going to go, stealth camping, getting a U-Haul. That's going to be the Pokemon evolution of fucking The Gang Does. The Gang camps at negative 10 degree temperatures in a U-Haul. Okay, this is a one-time thing. I am really miserable right now.

I would hate that so much. For me, it's a lot of controversy. I love police shooting videos. That's a top one for me. Road rage. Weird algorithm. Yeah, I like road rage. Because you're Ethan, very white.

Yeah, that's fair. I do like fighting videos. People getting into fist fights randomly. And racism. No, I'm just kidding. This is going to be that last one. Don't walk out of my room yeah but yeah that's for me I've never even heard of stealth camping now I'm gonna

watch I'm gonna be upstairs tonight like in a U-Haul red letter media I watch a ton of that love that I haven't watched them and they do that is OG OG you're talking about like Phantom Menace i think that's what put them on the map was their star wars but i like their formats of the just so what i like to

do is catch up when they do the right around this time of year they'll do the like here's the last 11 halloween videos that i watched and then you get like great recommendations for the stuff to rent on voodoo or not to rent you know speaking up do you guys remember riff tracks yeah yeah riff tracks it was uh it was like um mst3k mystery science theater 3000 yeah oh my god yes and then riff tracks was the offshoot of it yeah they they did they started releasing like audios where they would just riff on movies and they would sell the audio that you start the movie and start their soundtrack and play it and it together was like just basically audio commentary no shit they're back i've never even heard of it they were on comedy it's hilarious i was like when we're talking like

og youtube i go back to like epic rap battles of history which is by the way when we're like my first oh that was a good one yeah great stuff totally off topic but have you looked into the hypervelocity cannon they're using they're designing for air defense are you not talking about the typhon launcher no so what they did is originally they were going to build it looks like a paladin they put a longer gun and it's still 155 but um they instead of using it for artillery they actually made it radar guided it's a hypervelocity 155 shell that's fragmentation. Yeah, instead of IRCA. Yes, they got rid of IRCA.

So it was going to be IRCA, but now they changed it to the hypersonic round. Because they decided, they were like, we don't need to do what China's doing. I was going to say the Chinese, but I'm going to say, we don't need to do what China's doing. Yeah, I did a whole episode on the future of artillery in the U.S. Army. Oh, okay. We got the... Okay, there we go. Very good laser radar system.

American changer. Have you guys... Not as good. Some of that stuff... I work directly with artillery guys, so I get a lot of their know-how. Have you guys ever seen the ATACOM actually be used?

Look up any of the video from the a tachym attack? Which is the go on come stand for so it's a big missile that has 500 a pan in it Which stands for anti personnel or anti materials pretty much grenades 500 500 500 of those Explosive to make yet in like the the scary thing is is when you see this thing They got like high def footage of it You'll see it and it's flying through the air and it opens and then all of a sudden the fins turn and it spins to scatter them. Which is terrifying. That's gnarly, dude.

They showed me that and I was like, I am so fucking glad that's on my team. It is terrifying what they can do with those things. Written on the side in handwritten paint is don't tell geneva about shit yeah there uh was that the gimlers is 161 000 tungsten balls in one uh explosive yeah like that 160 000 161 000 so they turned in is the heaviest metal that we have by the way period they range from metal we use well they're different sizes so some of them are like buckshot and the other ones are like 22 caliber maybe 38 caliber hefty well other than like i mean we go like well what's more heavy than tungsten though uh depleted uranium yeah

that's dp yeah yeah like a tungsten ring if you put on a tungsten ring compared to like a steel ring metal whatever it is like it has heft i the first time i loaded a canister round in an abrams so like when you load the round in an abrams you push the knee switch a door that's like an inch thick that's uh so like you leave the door closed in case your ammo cooks off and blow out panels on the top just blast out you It'll ring your bell, but you'll survive. You push the knee switch. Door slides open. You have your honeycomb for your ready rack right there.

You just release it, and the round literally drops into your hand. The first time I loaded a canister shell, which is an Abrams version of a 12-gauge. It's 997 three-quarter-inch tungsten steel balls. They travel at around, I don't know, 6,280 feet per second. You know, not being specific. Gunner, canister, 100 yards, child. Wait, 6,000? Child. 997, three-quarter inch

tungsten steel balls coming out of one shell. What's the speed? 6,280 feet per second. What? I could take it. Okay. But the first... Reiterate, how many? I could take it. Okay. But the first... Wait, wait, again.

Reiterate how many? 997 three-quarter inch tungsten steel balls. At what speed? 6,280 feet per second. Brandon, how fast is the bullet travel? 5.56. You're looking at like just over 3,000. I guess.

And that's doubling the speed of a good rifle round. Like that's... it's insane. And when it drops out though, the whole front end drops. You're like, all the weight is in the nose where all the BBs are, all the balls are. You flip that bitch onto the breech, shove it in and arm it and get it out of the goddamn way. Cause it's going to, it's going to recoil like a son of a bitch when she fires. The cool thing that I'm hearing about is when i say the coolest death destruction thing is that they're now doing airburst rounds where so trench warfare is so hot right now right yeah just like in 1914 it's crazy i would love to see

how much of this podcast makes the internet because dear god like the amount of whatever you're at in this video just know that there's 20 minutes of missing redacted we legally cannot show you because holy fuck this is the good good put that in the intro they're now creating basically so people are like why are they switching that bradley shoots 25 mil so why are they switching to 30 mil i asked you this question go ahead continue this is fascinating to me too yeah we learned this recently the reason is because 25 mil you can't do airburst will with but 30 mil you can actually it's large enough the round is big enough that you can program it to explode at a certain detonate at

a certain point why can't you do that with 25 it's just not big enough to put the basically there is like a chip in the round that lets it explode at you type into the uh your laser range finder you can't do like just a longer or like thicker projo 25 mil can't do it that's what northrop grumman told me that was i said the same i asked the same thing i was like what gives but they said that was in the official work memo that's the reply this is the best podcast i've ever been on man this is going to be the uh what's that fucking war war game uh i kept leaking uh military secrets oh yeah war thunder yes this is the war thunder podcast i think we talked about that before

unfortunately so when did china and america become teams teams podcast is number two in the country but not where's your DoD subpoena somebody from China is gonna watch this be like we're not gonna team up and then we start talking about future weapons like fuck we should probably team up absolutely insane so like 30 mil so um basically the okay let's say you see an enemy trench 300 meters away you're in a bradley you put your uh cannon basically the remote control weapon system onto it and you do basically press a button and it tells you that's 200 meters away the technology then programs the round the 30 mil which is large enough to have this tech in it to explode at that distance so you're firing rounds over that trench and it's blowing up and sending shrapnel into the

inside of the trench so that's the big reason why we're trying to push to 30 mil. Because it's cutting fuses to the length to detonate at that point, right? Right. Yeah, I feel like you probably understand this better than me. Well, I thought we built, this is like OG Call of Duty level shit, but the XM25, I thought, was what we... Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah, that's literally why they were doing that.

It's like the new airburst through windows. Did you see, not at SHOT Show, but at AUS a usa they're making a new one it's now really yeah they made it oh that you see it yes yes it's a 30 millimeter high or high explosive accurate it's 30 shoulder fire grenade launcher i know what we're talking about oh my god i saw it look i don't even know if it's worth a damn but it looks so cool Yes It looks like a scar like this shoots grenades. It's so funny. No the new shirt militistic Yeah, it looks oh man, i'm gonna pull up a picture i forget who made it but it's i mean it looks like a rifle but it essentially has like it shoots yeah isn't it barrett uh the company that owns i think you're right i think you're right i think it's barrett but it's basically

like an xm25 without all the unnecessary sprinkles. Let's cut to a live and show them eagerly typing in their phone. There it is. That's it, right? That's it. SSRS 30mm. That's it. That is 100% it. 30mm. What the fuck? I'm going to do a video on it. We got the same picture.

I'm so confused. Did you show Cody what that looks like? Have you seen that? It looks like almost an AA-12 with a scar. Send that to me so I can put it up for trade. Okay, I got you. It's like a small grenade launcher. 30mm anti...

It looks like a 12 gauge. It's fat. Technically, any.50 cal is anti-material. However, 30mm grenades. Who makes that? That's Barrett or the Parrot Company anyway. I think it's only a 5 round magazine though.

I didn't read too much on it. Maybe 10. That's cool as fuck. I bet you could put all kinds of different rounds in it. It doesn't have to be explosive. There's like 7 rounds sitting in front of it. Barrett is asking me if I'm over 18 years of age.

So I can bid on this rifle. How much is it? No, this is definitely not like civilian. You don't have the licensing for explosives? Come on. Have you guys found the explosives guy on Instagram? I thought this was America.

So the funny part is, I've got all the licensing to be able to buy all this shit, but it's like the difference is whether or not they'll sell it to you that's fair yep which if you know a guy but yeah they can legally sell it to you they just they're gonna have to pass it by their boss yeah thankfully the boss god so we haven't even sold this to the government yet um uh why the did you give it to some guy in Kentucky? Check out the sweet YouTube video. Did you see what he did with a Serbu?

Wait, I haven't seen this. I don't know if I've... Ballistics. I don't know if I've seen that one. Yeah. 50 million people have. Oh, I was like f***, I don't know if I saw that one. Kentucky Ballistics, what happened?

No. Oh, wait, you thought, oh, put the jam in front of it? Yes, okay. Yeah, yeah. I thought that was a slap. That was a slap around with the 20, or 50 cal, right? Yeah. Yeah, it was the Serbu 50 cal. Yeah. Just jam a thumb in it. That's all you gotta do. He had a good time. And now he's fine.

We love you. I've seen him, but I've never, like, walked up and said hello. and now he's fine we love you i i've seen him but i've never like walked up and said hello dude he's one of the nicest people i met crispy and it was a really awkward interaction between me and him like it was like right at the end arranged i was like hey what's up man love your stuff you shook his hand and then like i stood there awkwardly and he stood there then he talked to somebody else i was like yeah i fucked this one up it was just an awkward interaction you're like we're gonna get along so much i didn't have it i do i don't know why my brain was just like you have forgotten everything now you forgot

you don't even know your name and i just and then he talked to somebody else i was like i fucked this up yeah that's fair all right i'm gonna just fuck off yeah crispy's great i met him back before the pandemic in like 2018 with Patrick Baker, one of my – he hired me at TMP actually, one of my favorite people in existence, really good dude. And we went out to Texas and it was like one of my first shoots ever. Hung out with Crispy, hung out with Jack Mandeville. Oh, Jack. I love Jack.

Had a great time. All good, very good friends of the podcast. Yeah, good peeps. I love Jack. Yeah, Jack. Had a great time. All good, very good friends of the podcast. Yeah, good peeps. Peeps. Yeah, I love Jack. Those dudes are super talented. He's crazy smart. I was not prepared for that when I met Jack.

Jack is. He's really fucking smart. He's a history buff, dude. Yeah, he is. We were talking about all sorts of shit. Because he plays the whole, like, oh, I'm so dumb character, but you actually sit down and have a conversation with him, and you're like, oh, I'm so dumb character. But you actually sit down and have a conversation with him. And you're like, oh, this guy is voting.

And he always has, he'll, like, talk about history in a way that you didn't think about it necessarily. At least for me. Like, he'll talk about it. And I'm like, oh, I had not considered it that way. It scares me when people like that. Like, they say a fact about history. And it's like, okay, well, everybody knew that. And he's like, yeah, but if you read the letters, it's like, oh, this guy dug deep.

I do not know how to read. So that is not fair. First of all, out of bounds. He's actually talked about reading his letters from his great-great-grandparents or whoever. He's got familial letters. Yeah. And these are like Civil War letters. No shit.

And he reads them, and it is insanity to hear how they talked back in the day. And then how old was it? It was like 16 or 17, talking about the marriage and everything. Well, I mean, it's just crazy the difference between the way people talked back then versus nowadays. It's like, hey, out of toilet paper, please help. I was thinking a different direction. I was thinking that they were so articulate back then.

So when I hear or read what they were trying to communicate back then, I'm like, why am i not able to articulate even i well that's our great great grandkids reading our text messages like yo tldr not having a great time i don't know what any of the and a dabbing and then the gif of this why were they so articulate back then why could they dab so well i it's only gonna get worse yeah but like i mean i agree with you that it's only gonna get worse but like i will also say that americans in general with humans in general were very direct back then like we don't we beat around the bush so much now that when you meet a culture that doesn't like koreans which is really interesting because i went to like a korean restaurant in lodden and i was like can i get an egg on this lady was like no and just walked away my wife was like that was fucking rude i was like no that's

korean like that's just the they're straight up like this is what's going to happen and you're not my dearest maria fuck my life the commander has walked away today. We haven't seen him in two moons. Two scores. They had days back then. Their insults were so sick, too. They were eloquent. He is so mediocre.

It's the biggest murder. No way. It's also important to note that an american president it was andrew jackson had won over a hundred pistol duels and like killed a guy on the white house lawn before yeah do not know about his duels yeah no i didn't know our homie just challenged people yo bro dude if you want to be president in this day, dude, 2028, I think homeboy comes and just shoots people. Why not be a bad thing? You know, I think he was the first president to ever be able to, like, step up and talk about his publicly recorded KD.

Like, yeah, dude, Andrew Jackson was a G. I didn't know I had somebody insulted his wife at a White House party. And that's the dude he killed on the White House lawn. Like, they went and did a pistol duel. He's like, pistols right now. Let's fucking go. And went out there and just blasted old boy, and then went inside and got shit-faced. Debates become so much better when you get a public challenge them and then shoot them in front of the nation.

When you got slapped by the glove in 1820, that was a big deal. Yeah. Dude, I want to say it was over 100. I'm just going from memory here. I want to say it was over 100 pistol duels he had won. And he'd been shot like three or four times I want to say during those pistol duels and just survived. It was like, I'm going to be president now. Fuck you.

Yeah. Dude, homies went hard. You're like, okay. Good. Meanwhile, we have a president who can't walk upstairs. It's a lot of stairs,'t be so cold i like the shane gillis where he's like as soon as he's done talking he turns into a roomba i'm so in moments like that i'm so glad for the deep state. I'm just so glad that we...

No, wait. Wait, can I say for a second? Can I talk for a second? Let him cook. I'm really happy in moments like that when there's no one at the helm. I'm glad that we have a deep state that can just take over and run this shit. So you're telling me we should be voting for the CEO of Boeing?

Not Boeing. They can't suicide all of us. Oh my god. This is it. Like, every time I think we've peaked, it's just, this is the one that's gonna get it. This is it. Brandon! I'm so glad when our president is asleep at the wheel. All I'm glad is that someone else can take over.

Thank God we've created a system where we don't need a president. The thing I don't like about this podcast is when I talk, people, they are laughing. I'm trying to talk. I'm just happy that we have a resiliency in this system. And I think we can all agree. We'll call it a redundancy. We'll go with that. Yeah, redundancy.

Yes. That's what my squad leaderancy. We'll go with that. Yeah, redundancy. Yes. That's what my squad leader always used to call me, redundant. And I appreciate that. So even when Biden has his faults, we have General Milley at the helm. Oh, fuck. Now, same, Sam, we get it. We understand. We are speaking the same language now.

Didn't he retire and get a job at Boeing or something like that? That's weird. That's Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, who was formerly a Raytheon chair member, who is now Secretary of Defense. I wonder why we picked Raytheon's radar for the LTAMs. I wonder why. I think West Virginia has an issue with inbreeding. Cody, close us out, beautiful. Go to the after show.
