Fat electrician

You may have seen her
And Brandon Herrera, myself, Donut Operator
Thank you for being here.
This is Doug.
Hi, welcome, guys.
Thanks for having us.
God, you guys are in the mix of the big demo retirement.
Yes.
Send off.
I mean, I'm fine.
I just worked at Bunker.
So Bunker's doing great.
This one over here on the other hand.
My wife's fucked. I'm kind of cut, yeah? This one over here on the other hand. You're like, oh, my wife's fucked.
Yeah.
I'm fired, but that's okay.
God.
I know how that, yeah.
I would love.
Sorry, I was like, let go.
It's fine.
Going in a different direction.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Retirement.
Let go with glowing recommendations.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's true.
For everyone that doesn't know, you guys have been with Bunker and Demo for how many years?
I started in Bunker branding in 2018.
So basically since the beginning.
And when did you come on?
I've been working for Matt almost four years.
Almost four years.
Yeah.
Because didn't you guys know each other like way before?
No.
No.
So we moved.
Really?
Yeah.
Wow. Off on there lord yeah i don't know why i thought you guys were like high school friends or something no we didn't know them until 2018 yeah i actually didn't know what demolition ranch was when i took
the job no shit yeah what a fucking i thought you guys have been bernie buddies and you ran
together all the time you're not even funny you moved out here i mean we became really close
friends once we lived here.
But we didn't know them before we got here.
Obviously we
worked together and we got really close.
Way off on board.
I've been in the screen
printing and embroidery world for like
almost 15 years. And when they started
Bunker, they bought an automatic screen
printing press, assuming that it prints shirts automatically.
And it does if you know how to run it. And that's when I started Bunker, they bought an automatic screen printing press, assuming that it prints shirts automatically. And it does, if you know how to run it.
And that's when I came in.
Yeah.
Came in to help.
It's kind of like a CNC machine.
Yeah.
Where it's like, it makes parts by itself.
Well, yeah.
Yes.
You have to know how to buy the merch.
You've got an engineer to run it.
Right.
Yeah, exactly.
It seems so easy and dirty.
Yeah.
So, if you guys are unfamiliar, Bunker Branding basically does the merch for every single one of us. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So if you guys are unfamiliar, Bunker Branding basically does the merch for every single one of us.
Yeah.
Yeah. And so they brought me on because they needed somebody to run production. And
I guess I'm good enough at my job that seven years later, I run the whole thing.
Were they in the current warehouse at that point?
No, no.
Or did you show up to Matt's garage?
No, I was right after Matt's garage. So there was probably nine months from like start a bunker to when I came on.
Cause I remember the first warehouse.
Cause the first time I ever came down was maybe like, I don't know, 2019.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They were just renting that one.
It was the, the, the mural, like the painted mural on the wall.
Like everybody was huddled around a fucking space heater in October.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so when I started, we had like four creators maybe and like eight
employees and now we're over 70 with way more than eight employees in a 12 000 square foot
warehouse with three shipping containers outside because we still got too much shit uh and now
you're expanding the fun part of new business so it's So it's going well. Yeah. It's going great.
But then you're like, fuck.
You run out of space really quickly.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
It's a fun time.
When did you guys... Okay.
I love that you never knew that.
That's really funny.
I was way up.
I literally just assumed that's why you were in the position like...
Nope.
Hard work, not nepotism.
Hard work.
Yeah.
Which is awesome.
Yeah.
So then you guys just became... Well, well you guys were together but then that's how
you expanded and like oh meeting mayor matt and that friendship and then bringing you aboard
right once we moved here and i met mayor and hung out a few times we all you know became close
friends and then matt brought me on later on to help him organize his life a little bit. And that kind of just grew from there.
And then now here we are.
That's about it.
Back in the demo, Ranch was always just kind of crazy and unorganized.
Because it was always just a bunch of dudes.
Just dudes like, I guess we'll shoot this today.
And then like, did anybody order it?
Like, I don't know, maybe.
And he was like, you know what? Maybe we should get a woman in here to shape things up.
And yeah.
So Jenna came on board and really.
It's kind of funny.
Like, cause like it's obviously you, you have to run it like a business if you want it to
succeed.
Right.
Right.
But at the same time, how the fuck do you stream it?
You can't Amazon streamline a bunch of redneck shooting shit in the background.
Like it just, it's not a thing you can do.
No. I mean, we really, we would not a thing you can do. Yeah, no.
I mean, we really, we would have a content board
and kind of get ideas out.
And then I would just start ordering
and try and get as much planned ahead of time as we could
so that everything was ready once it was the day
to kind of just get it done.
Yeah.
The hard part is probably scheduling stuff out
with everyone.
Yeah, it never, I mean,
I could put a million things on the schedule
and it will never happen exactly how I want it to,
but it got pretty good.
Yeah, yeah. I always say it's like herding f I want it to, but it got pretty good. Yeah.
I always get hurting feral cats with all of the men in that world, but
they kept me on my toes and I was very entertained
always, so that helps.
Molest that mic.
Get in there, girl.
Bring it as close as you want.
Bring it as close as you want.
We won't make you do the
rite of passage that we all have to do.
Deep throat in my ankles.
Only for men.
Clint, go.
No, no, Clint.
We need to see your fucking stats here.
Hold it next to your forearm
first. Tell it it's me.
That one fucking clip from like a hundred episodes ago just you and me just randomly
just like looking at each other like
can you get your teeth over it not trying hard enough are you sure you wanted to do this before
you're looking for jobs yeah yeah i love this you're like this
should set me up for success ma'am what is this no this is great yeah i mean so realistically
like the the hope is not have to go back to like the real corporate world yeah um i mean can you
after doing this for five years no yeah i mean yeah, yeah. What's Jenna's name?
The Tard Wrangler.
The Tard Wrangler.
The Tard Wrangler.
That's a new one, but I'm here for it.
She wrote that book up.
That's right, I'm gonna make merch.
That's her book.
There you go.
Teaching the Mentally Retarded by Jenna.
At least get it in either ass one time.
What the hell?
It's funny.
I love it.
So, we are... You fire me,
I call you a retard.
It's just...
It's what goes around
comes around.
Yeah.
This episode's gonna go out
after he's off the internet,
so that means I'm assuming
he's not gonna consume
any content either, right?
Yeah.
Maybe he'll be good.
Sure, sure.
You're watching this episode
from your house as he's knocking on your door shit shit shit what was the hard part of like
when i want to know when you met like these guys individually as they came into the circle
what the thought process was especially if you're not used to it and you're like
fuck dude is well yeah it took a lot of getting used to because like i didn't know anything about
youtube or the youtube world i just knew screen printing didn't you tell me that when you first
took the job that you were explaining to one of your buddies that you go ahead so yeah i accepted
the job still not knowing like entirely what it was i just knew it's a good opportunity
perfect yeah it was a good opportunity to like. Yeah. It was a good opportunity to, like, I was running a small, the production side of a
small screen printing shop in Corpus for a little while.
And I just, there wasn't much growth there.
The only people above me were the owners.
It was a small shop.
And I was like, this, like, let's take a leap.
In Corpus, Christy?
Yeah.
We lived in Corpus for about 11 years.
Corpus is my favorite city because it's basically like myrtle beach mixed with blade runner it's all the fucking smokestacks
with fire yeah yeah industrial everywhere the best beautiful the best explanation i've heard
somebody said it's a sunny place for shady people yeah nice yeah and that kind of checks out and
every every place you eat smells yeah there's a lot of fucking you know you're getting close when you can smell it through your car home here we are i've been once yeah i was like oh that's great yeah that's
i mean it was fun it was all right it was a fun city to live in it was big enough that it felt
like a city but it was also small yeah we're originally from like go really far to get places
like 30 minutes down the road a small town that's's outside of Bernie already. So this was like also kind of coming back to home.
But yeah, like I, so I took the job, still didn't really know what was going on.
Know nothing about firearms, nothing about YouTube.
And I was texting one of my buddies.
I was like, Hey, I just got a new job and we're moving back home.
Like how'd you apply in the first place?
So I knew a friend of a friend knew about the job and uh she was like
you should you need to try this and knew that he's what did screen printing like previously
i was like all right cool yeah um so i applied i came in pretty much got the job on vibes there
was apparently a dude who like there's a funny story actually matt's big on vibes with me i have
stories yeah it was it came down to me and some other dude who had run screen printing shops for 30 years
and had all the experience.
He just was an old dude that took five smoke breaks during the interview and all that stuff.
Then I came in and was just a young, cool guy.
Matt was like, I would rather hang out with this dude every day than that dude.
That's how I got the job. you're basically getting to choose your neighbor
yeah exactly right yeah so i text my buddy i'm like hey i got a new job like it's gonna be
totally different than what i used to do i'm gonna be making merchandise for youtube channels
and he was like oh cool so something like demolition ranch i was like no like actually
demolition ranch and he was like shut the fuck up what do you mean mean i was like yeah no i'm gonna like i'm gonna go run
production at bunker branding and he was like that's fucking crazy oh my god yeah and that's
the first i've never heard of he loads random shit and shotgun shells and spays cats yeah
that was the first time like the the enormous huge on that yeah kind of set in and so you know
but meeting everybody else too like you realize
everybody's just a normal dude like yeah uh yeah the first time i met jonah he came in town
y'all were doing like less than lethal stuff oh yeah and it was yeah it was a long time ago and
then when first time you came in town i don't remember yeah i think it was during else like
aka our beef yeah yeah and we went because
the original video was we were talking about this yesterday yeah eli was in that yeah oh really before
i knew before i knew eli that was the first time shooting with matt and i was used to how i filmed
stuff and watching matt and he's like he's like oh we'll do this i'm like oh this is completely like
running he was still coming on it doesn does it. I think at the time.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Like it was,
like that was the first time he was like,
well,
how would you shoot this?
I was like,
I just walk with it.
If I were good.
And he's like,
okay.
And you do it.
But that was the first time seeing that,
that style,
that ease of content being filmed.
And it like how everything out of the fucking water.
And then like hang out with
these guys not you you have like so much research that goes into yours cody has oh no you with your
shooting you actually do a lot of research on your shootings yeah yeah so brandon you're the
it was crazy like the first time hanging out with him and seeing like
the biggest gun tuber ever like i get to hang out with fucking Demolition Ranch.
It's like his brother-in-law with a fucking camera.
Like a GoPro.
Yeah, that was early years.
I was like, oh shit.
Oh, he's just like us.
Dude, we literally learned how to run and gun.
Like with cameras, with actual firearms.
Shit, I forgot.
The fanny pack camera shit?
Oh yeah, the ones that demo and i
carried around for a while i learned that from him yeah he still has that it makes sense yeah
when we wrote out his skit for that predator versus special forces video that was they had
the script and i had my script and did he well it was he doesn't script no and i told matt there was a predator versus special forces dude i learned how to vlog from matt yeah like because he he carried his little fanny his little
fucking pouch around on his on his hip with a little point and shoot camera and so i started
doing that and that's how i got my channel to like 600 000 subscribers my vlog channel
that's why you guys started seeing the donut fever dreams.
Yeah.
The fever dreams.
Right.
I learned all that from him.
Just like, Hey, you know, people just kind of want to see what your daily life is.
And I started doing the same thing and yeah, I got to fucking almost 600,000 subscribers
now because of, because of carrying my little fucking camera around on my hip.
Yeah.
He was the one that for his direction, he was the easiest person to give direction because again he's done how many videos hundreds
thousands yeah thousands so that was the only direction i gave i put it on a tripod i was like
you're doing one of your videos here's all i need at the exit he's like oh done first take i was
like cool we're done we don't need angles demos doing demo because you're you're coming from
hollywood you're coming from like
corridor digital like them having massive fucking camera yeah the highest quality people on set yeah
30 people on set and you have demo with this little fucking point and shoot camera just like
this this this that's my favorite kind of youtube though it's just like oh we don't need like a
fucking hollywood production we're like three fuckheads in the woods with a gun yeah it really
is we make jokes all the time because we hired on David and he's like excellent
with a camera. He has so many skills, a lot of things that he's done. And we brought him in and
he had like a gimbal the first day and Matt's like, take that off. He was like, we don't do
that here. Let it be shaky. It's fine. We had to severely dumb down his work for the channel.
Even with class warfare warfare he starts it
was like hey this is gonna look way better than you guys are used to yeah he starts that episode
like i'm like that's fucking chef's kiss but it shows what works and what doesn't it's like
hiring like a professional muralist to be like no i'll finger paint it
it is really funny though because so many people like are afraid to start youtube or like start
content of any kind because they're like man i just don't have the budget for like a fucking
editor and like a nice camera and lighting or whatever i'm like all of us started on that
fucking shit right there not me this didn't exist when i started you got like a nokia flip phone
i didn't have this thing but it is um what was it the barrier
to entry is so low now dude for your iphone there's a new movie getting filmed all on iphone
they're actually 28 years later crazy yeah a full-ass movie getting filmed not like an
independent film like a big fucking budget yeah budget budget and because all the control you
have on the the ip Pro is like next level.
And then going into, I will say, having a podcast, which is the lowest, in my opinion,
it was like the lowest barrier of entry on like cameras and gear or anything.
And be like, oh, that's not going to do anything.
I like to do cinematic shots.
I want movement.
I want all this incredible shit.
And now it's just four sticks.
I love it. I appreciate the shit out because it's entirely personality based now yeah it's like are you taking equipment out of it for the most part we still have a nice
yeah but not really like no you know like we're not in like a real studio or anything
we threw this together in a kitchen this is yeah this is a living room this is a living room for anyone that does not know that
can't i mean yeah now with the other one you get to see the actual but when you have to succeed off
of people talking for two hours it's like oh god forbid you actually have to have personality
yeah or either be interesting or funny yeah or both or both hopefully yeah and that's the success of all of you guys in general
like the one thing i've learned about youtube is and is when especially when it correlates to
merchandise anybody can watch a video about a police breakdown you know anybody can watch a
history video or a podcast people watch it because they want to see you do it and that's that's where
that breakthrough happens, right?
You're not just filming whatever.
Where the numbers go up, yeah.
It's because you're doing it or because you're doing it.
Like, that's where you see the big jump and stuff.
Yeah.
There's the personality behind it.
Like, you can just do ASMR videos and get tons of views,
but, like, nobody cares about your channel.
They care about you, yeah.
Building that community.
It's the person, yeah. Drink. Oh, no. Community. nobody cares about your channel yeah they care about you yeah building that community yeah drink
oh no community but i mean i uh but legitimately like there's there's stories that i already know
about but if i see you do a video on it or wendigoon do a video on it i'm like yeah i'm
gonna fucking watch it anyway i know 90 of this but yeah right fuck it like i want to see people
i like do it yeah it's the way you present everything it's like fucking like waco something
like that it's like i know the story of you present everything. It's like Waco, something like that.
I know the story of fucking Waco.
I know what happened, but yeah, we watched Wendy do it.
Yeah, of course.
Four hours.
I watched your videos of police shooting breakdowns that you showed me the raw footage at brunch.
You're like, hey, you want to watch a murder?
You can watch the video later on.
Hey, you want to see a dead body?
Of course, it's morning
you guys know how Mikey got hired by Matt
no
I'm curious what your story is
Mikey's his name right
yeah
you could put up the picture chase
if you could of Mikey from Demo Ranch
so I was hanging out like the first time
I ever filmed with Demo
I think we were strapping like dog shot collars to our legs trying to shoot.
And it was me and Edmund competing for an LNT.
I didn't watch that.
What the fuck?
Yeah.
He's like, yo, have this LNT and we're gonna have a shooting competition.
And whoever wins gets to take it home.
Did you cheat?
And one of the, oh, I cheated like a motherfucker.
Yeah, I was.
Oh, the huck straight up.
He didn't budge.
And I was like, why isn't he moving?
And he was supposed to be shocking him the whole time.
Well, no, the other part, because we, they set up a, they set up battleship and we had to walk up with a shotgun
and point blanket. And there was cans of shaving cream on the other side.
I stuck a couple of cans of my shaving cream out of bounds.
And Mikey comes up as like that that's out of bounds. And I go, I know.
You're not cheating. You're not trying. I'm not losing to admin.
He's a gunning tigger. He already shoots better than me. Fuck him. So admin so we did that and then like how's your new lmt
it's the one that's on my coffee table in the background of all my videos
it was a funny day just on it and then like the final event was we were shooting like 100 yards
away at a big operation map and we had to shoot directly through the holes while a dog shot collar was
strapped to us.
So I don't give a shit about getting shocked.
I wasn't phased at all.
So that gave me a pretty big advantage too.
But yeah,
I was hanging out with Mikey.
I was like,
how,
like how the fuck do you get this job?
You just homies with them or what?
And he's like,
no,
bro.
I was,
I was on indeed the,
the job website and responded to a job as a ranch hand.
I hired Mikey.
And then showed up thinking he was going to be like bailing hay or feeding cows or some
shit.
Like, no, we're putting Lego heads in a shotgun shell.
Yeah.
So when we put things on Indeed, we don't put Demolition Ranch for obvious reasons.
And so I asked Matt, I was like, what about just ranch hand?
And he had done that before back in his hometown and we go to meet him at black rifle for an
interview and we like show up i made chocolate go with did he have the mullet because i didn't
want to go meet a dude by myself and we go out there and we start like interviewing we were like
so have you heard of demolition ranch and he was like yeah i'm like do you want to work for it he
was like yeah that was literally it immediately that's the story of mikey
yeah i mean usually he didn't freak out that was the thing if they like light up like a super fan
then it's a hard no i've been hiring people for bunker for seven years and there's tricks to know
like yeah you bait them yeah yeah it's hard to hire people in this in this arena there's a right
answer and there's wrong answer to to this. However you answer this means
this interview's over in my head.
Just sit down and be like,
do I know Matt Carriker? Here's my shrine.
It's like, oh, wow.
This'll be hilarious.
What's Matt's middle name?
Oh, you know it. That's a red flag.
Yeah, that's funny.
Oh, God. Poor Matt.
I'm the one that fucking doxes him as i do all my friends
you did do that one time i did do that one time you did a lot of squats what
weren't you the one that did admin without his balaclava on for the first time
two different times was it on instagram yeah okay i think i remember that yeah i remember
like i don't think
you're supposed to show his face yeah it's like the second or third time i came out to to hang
out with matt i was i was filming his dog and i was doing my vlog thing he taught me what he taught
me to do that he helped you vlog things make sure you get your friend's phone number yeah
his dog had the fucking oh i didn't know his phone number on his collar and so he was like
hey cody matt calls me he's like hey cody did um did you uh dox my phone number because he
had people calling him oh no i was like fuck dude i'm so sorry i did not mean to do that
hanging out with the boys is like neltamimper
showing where they are so i didn't know well the funny part about the admin one at least is like
if you didn't know who he was you wouldn't you wouldn't yeah they would never recognize but
and that was back when he was still like very heavy like you know uh hiding his identity yeah
and everything but like if you knew you were like oh what there was like two people in the comments
that picked up on it because we're we're in uh i know those eyebrows anywhere yeah we're in salt
lake city and i paid the dude way too much money the dj to do the the sardicard champ from dune
the home in a club and just piss off everyone there oh he scared the hose it was
it was like full of college kids
that were like just fucking vibing out
and then that comes on.
It was the last time he ever did that.
You didn't do it again?
No.
That's a lie.
Cody goes to a lot.
Is that your favorite now?
Cody's drunk and there's a bunch of people on a dance club.
Cody's walking up to that DJ.
Here's a thousand dollars.
Ruined their time.
That's so funny.
It's fucking hilarious. I love it. We did it after the live show in dallas like last cycle with a pop of meat yeah

Yeah, me, Jenna, David get in an elevator.
This random dude gets on with us.
And we're just like, hey, how's it going?
We hadn't seen his face before.
We genuinely didn't know it was him at first.
And then like elevator dings right before the door opens.
He pulls out a ball of club and puts it on set.
And David's like, oh shit.
It was really funny.
That's how even PSR, when I went to grab him,
like went down the elevator,
I was like, I have no idea what this guy looks like.
Why did I go?
He's like, oh, he was.
I'm like, I think that was the last thing you said
before you went down.
You're like, I hope he knows what I look like.
Zero fucking clue on that one.
He took his goggles off.

That was a big eye reveal.
Just the eyes?
Just the eyes and how he's comfortable doing it.
I don't know.
Did he say he was going to do it a full Maskerville ever?
Or is it just to keep separate?
Is it a profession thing?
Or is it just a kind of?
Just, okay.
That makes sense.
Can't say what he does.
I'll tell you after.
But it's pretty funny.
He prints shoes and repeats.
Yeah.
Smart autistic level of detail in printers.
You guys had a heyday.
When the comments are saying, it's like, man, Eli got out autismed.
I was just looking at Cody, I'm like, I don't know.
I was re-watching that because we were all just like, we had a long week.
We were drunk, whatever.
But we went in the weeds, and Eli just like yeah i totally know me and eli are looking at each other just like i have no idea what they're
fucking saying he lost it yeah i'm i still feel that way when everybody talks about gun stuff
yeah i have no idea what any of y'all are talking about me and uh it was like it wasn't vegas it was
the time we were all together before that we might might have been here. I forget where we were, but Zach was there.
And it was me and Zach were in the rooms next to each other, so we had all split up for the night.
But me and Zach took the same elevator up, and Zach was just like,
man, I really need to find what I'm autistic about.
And I was like, what are you talking about?
Because at dinner, like 20 minutes prior, was right Luigi, a guy had shot that CEO. Yeah.
And you literally in the first time seeing the footage go,
that's the problem.
Like immediately you're like me.
Yeah.
You're like,
it doesn't have a,
whatever device.
It doesn't have a Nielsen device on it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Look at the grainy security camera footage as it just comes out.
Everybody's like,
it's a BNT station.
I'm like, nah, it's like a retard. it's got a fucking glock with it you didn't know zach
is like just how how does he know that i don't understand and then me and zach were just talking
about it for the next week as everybody on the internet's desperately trying to figure out what's
going on it's like yep brandon was right in four seconds yeah You were talking about Betterment with a Sign. Yeah. Betterment with a Sign. Yeah.
Sorry.
Isn't his autism cardboard?
Why, God, why?
He's really good at cardboard.
I just want a stick figure with a sign that just says my autism is cardboard.
Perfect.
I know again.
Yeah.
What size? Yeah. Speaking of speaking of what are some shirts you've
had to say no on yeah i think it was one of them they said no it might be back on the table again
i don't know maybe when matt says he's getting off the internet they reject our medicine so
they can sell their cures they say we can't have comealicious shirts.
Just to tell you guys,
sometimes us,
we will bring them t-shirt
ideas and they're just like, no, we can't
print that.
For every comealicious shirt, you get
two tickets into Matt's raffle, right?
Yeah, let's go.
Clip it.
He can't be mad at you for making money.
You know, I just go,
that was after.
I can still get fired.
Hang on.
Let's not get fired.
You still need a point income.
Come on.
What's our new one for?
We have silly geese on there.
Cyclists don't go to heaven.
Cyclists don't go to heaven.
I'll get working on that on Monday. That's a good one. What? Cyclists don't go to heaven. Oh don't go to heaven i'll get working on that on
monday that's a good one what yeah cyclists we already have the art for it yeah you tell me
there was there was the other one all cyclists go to hell it's a more aggressive way of saying it
it's got to be like the all dogs go to heaven cover art a little bit different
cyclists get pissed in the comments i know meat had that and then when
really the fat people won poppin me he's like i didn't give a fuck i'm gonna just tell him
when they attack him he's like dude i'm a fat piece of shit i don't care what you say
there's also a difference between somebody who rides a bicycle and a cyclist yeah these are
completely different breeds of people. What bothers me is
the thought process that goes into
like, I'm really into cycling.
I feel like
there's levels to things.
You know what I mean?
I need to wear a full-on fucking skin-tight
singlet to reduce
wind resistance.
Elite-level
competition thing.
You can still exercise without
that suit.
If you're a hobbyist,
I'm more aerodynamics.
Bro, you're 45 pounds overweight and you're on your way to a
brewery. Let's fucking calm down.
You're 62 years old.
You haven't competed, period.
Also, if you're
in the fucking lane
that thousands,
a vehicle that weighs thousands of pounds
should be in you shouldn't be there yeah unless they can go the speed limit then they shouldn't
be on the road right if you're on the highway doing 65 as a cyclist dude i'm gonna hit you
i literally have i i i was gonna say i've done that. I've never hit a cyclist in my car.
Play it back.
I've come around the corner before.
Up in the hill country and whatnot.
I'm driving the speed limit.
I come around a corner and there's
fucking 10 middle-aged guys
doing 30 under.
Around a line corner.
I'm like,
if I hit you, I feel like that's not even my fault
no but oh yo we're gonna i don't know what the law would say but yeah my bicycle like i'm treated
like a car fuck you they don't go to heaven dude that's all i'm saying play jeremy carson's part
right here he hates my favorite time is jeremy was watching fucking 10 cyclists run a stop sign
and pulling them over
and giving every single one of them a fucking ticket
for running a stop sign.
And that's why you're a hero.
America's hero.
You don't belong here.
What was that proof?
Or what shirts did you say no to?
Because we had like Kamalisha.
You want me to get to the Burger King crown? You you never say no you kick it i have a boogeyman that i get
to say no to same thing like i tell my employees like anytime you need me to be the bad guy say
hey my boss would let me do this you're that it's fine yeah you're the boogeyman yeah I'm trying to think there's been
I mean not that many right
we did have
the
you miss shirt was up for a little bit
oh yeah they did take that
he's already catching a bunch of shit
we probably shouldn't sell a you miss shirt
48 hours after the guy tried to
oh yeah
you didn't know about that a shirt no yeah no but
it was like it was like legitimately like it was like a rub it in your face like trump's still here
like that's yeah it wasn't like a bad thing yeah i mean yeah they're everywhere right like i do
remember during all that shit because i had a shirt that was up that oh yeah yeah yes it was
completely innocuous until that happened then Then it was like, all right.
It was, wasn't it?
Even Asmongold talked about it.
Yeah.
Because I had a shirt that was right after my congressional run.
And it was just the red.
We had hats, I think, too.
But it was the red hat, like, make politicians afraid again.
Yeah.
Oh, that's right.
Which was the whole, like, that was the point.
That was your whole, yeah.
Like, I want you to be afraid that I'm going to take your job.
Somebody takes a pop shot at the president
and then it's like, oh!
The comments lit up about that.
I forgot about that.
Context needs to be there on that one.
Right.
That was the one time I think you guys reached out.
You're like, hey, we're taking this down.
I'm like, heard.
No argument. That's fine.
We ran a silly geese shirt there for a minute.
That's what he was talking about, the you missed one.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, we try to separate it too, right?
Like, yes, Bunker Branding is a brand of itself that we're trying to push and sell.
But also, like, we're just the medium between your merch sales and your fans.
Yeah. So you haven't decided if you're a platform or a publisher.
Kind of.
Yeah.
So you have to live it.
So you have to live it.
And Bunker has a line, too.
So, yeah.
Hands off real quick.
Yeah.
Like, because I remember that we had that conversation with Unsub because they're like,
look, we have a lot of, like, Bernie moms that, like that go to softball practice with us.
Can we please not have a shirt that says
cum on the front page?
Because it sold really good, though.
That's that devil on the shoulder.
It's hard to argue.
That was our number one.
That was an email that we blasted out.
That was your bad?
Yeah.
It was the big...
The shirt's still for sale.
But it was just a big email blast calm 300 000 people
so you buy this at 300 000 this big yeah and whose idea was that so we didn't even think about so we
have a graphic designer that designs all of our emails a new you know new creator on board just
grab some of his shirts so we grabbed the most recent yeah like that was just the one he picked and as we're approving it we didn't think anything of it
and then like yeah as soon as you open it it's just he probably knew and he did it anyways and
was like this is gonna be hilarious a lot of boutique owners downtown very upset yeah
yeah he can be that way a little bit talk about the fucking boutiques in downtown bernie oh my
god why do i do let's go do you not know this no what happened oh you guys definitely have to know about this
maybe i don't know enlighten me i'm not sure what are there 27 boutiques in downtown bernie
my conspiracy theory is that rich uh rich guys in bernie literally just buy their wife a boutique
so she has something to do to resell amazon jewelry so they can fuck the babysitter it's and it's a tax write-off right can't they
use that yeah it makes sense but they just want to get their wives out of the house
the what the meme for income levels where it's like um both parents are working one parent works
with a stay-at-home stay- stay at home parent one parent works and um
spends a bunch of money and it's like the top highest income level is one parent works and
the other one has a business that loses eighty thousand dollars a year
it's it's money laundering i don't really know what money laundering means
clint's convinced that they're in the back yeah so so why we all know something's up no one's buying 500 tops yeah exactly thank you anytime i've
ever walked in it's dead yeah going in and out like how do you keep this open it doesn't make
any sense from a person who has a business in downtown bernie right trust me no one's buying
yeah a lot of traffic there yeah yeah like you're just like
right off main street too yeah really close but you know it's like it's for fun right it's like
yeah like like 50 skate shop that's for fun because i always wanted to have a skate shop
it's not making me any fucking money it's breaking even every single month i will tell you guys that
honestly but walking down bernie like one time i just decided to walk just down the main street.
There were like 27 fucking
boutiques. And they're selling
like you were saying, the same shit.
Just like Amazon shit. Yeah, they all order from
the same people for sure.
There's literally the same shit in different
places. Yeah, we had to get
used to, we clearly don't look
like the normal people of bernie
we love you guys we have no idea what you're talking about yeah i walk in with all my tattoos
at the school and the monster like yeah that's true we do have that going for us
that's the next quote roll it back you look like we have that going for us. Shit. Put that on the fucking monster.com.
Why is this on your resume?
I'm white.
Privilege, please.
We're going to get our business cards
white card wrangler.
That's right.
Name, phone number, email.
That's it.
Do you have my attention?
It's the cover letter.
Yeah, it's quite the town.
I mean, I love it.
It's nice and safe for our kids.
It's a great place to raise kids.
Definitely.
Yeah.
The fucking, the one bar that we go to sometimes, I've got the card.
Oh, the upstairs one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We'll just take the upstairs one.
I've got the card to go up there.
Yeah.
And sometimes they're like, do you belong here? That's my favorite's my favorite that's what you're saying with the tattoos yeah like what uh
i'm going way back to like the baddie days uh of like first moving to san antonio and whatnot like
years and years and years ago when we all went out to that fucking nice like uh really nice steak
joint yes i do yeah we we all like all The guys got up to go use the restroom.
And because
we're not dressed like it's a nice place.
Were you wearing a cum shirt?
I wasn't.
A lot of cut off sleeves, tattoos,
everything. They body blocked
the front door.
The servers stood in front of the door.
Escorted us.
Because I was like, hey, where's the restroom?
We'll take you.
It's like two people escort.
It's like,
I'm going to run from this fucking place.
There's a bunch of Mexicans and white dudes with tattoos.
They can't afford this place.
They thought we were going to run out on them.
And yeah,
did that.
We were the only ones in flip-flop shorts,
t-shirts.
Everyone else.
This is like suits dining out out, like an event.
They're like, what are you celebrating tonight?
I don't know.
Thursday?
We're hungry.
We dropped in.
I wanted steak.
That's enough.
Room of slacks.
Gingham t-shirt with a puffer vest on.
That's casual Bernie for sure.
That's the upscale casual Bernie.
They saw me at the dealership
that one time. The Ferrari dealership right there.
Did I ever tell you about that one?
No.
I had just gotten back from Key West.
I had driven a Ferrari around
an exotic car dealership.
This is you and Chuck, right?
Yeah, me and Chuck Liddell.
We went to an exotic car dealership.
Down in Key West.
That is where Key West is. Yeah. And so they, uh, I didn't hear that part.
I'm also retarded. I'm sorry. They were really cool about it. And they gave us a,
they gave me and Chuck a yellow Ferrari to drive around Key West for the weekend. We were like,
super grateful for it. We drove it around. I get back here to San Antonio and I go to that, that, uh, that dealership right
next to the, it was the highway, right? Yeah. So like, I, I was kind of thinking about like,
I like Ferraris a lot. And so I went in there and I was walking around and every single person in their office would like, yeah, they would look at me and go, like, dude, I'm seriously looking at Ferraris right now.
You're missing on a commission, bro.
Every single person would look at me and go.
You didn't get help for like 30 minutes or an hour.
I didn't get help at all.
I was wearing a t-shirt and a backwards hat and I was like, hey, I just want to check out this car right here.
And every single one of them.
We pulled up to buy a Toyota and a McLaren.
That's pretty funny.
They can't ignore you when you do that, I guess.
That's pretty funny.
Sir.
I'll never forget when I was like, I don't know, fucking 19.
There was a Lamborghini dealership past where I had to drive a bunch.
And I showed up one day just as a 19-year-old kid in a fucking t-shirt.
And then for whatever reason, I was doing something where I had to wear a suit.
And the difference in treatment between just being a kid in a t-shirt and a kid in a fucking full suit,
immediately everybody wants to talk to you. I got a free
fucking notepad.
They're like, oh yeah, have this,
have this, whatever. It's just like, wow.
And we never do that
as individuals. Policing
or anything?
Do you mean
profiling?
I would be the same dude at a Lambo
dealership. I'm like, 99%
of that dude with the backwards hat and
shorts ain't buying a fucking Lambo.
Just trying to get a test drive, get his ass out of here.
You're just a 1%
donut. I'm like, fuck, I missed
the commission. God damn it.
You know we would all do the same.
Nick walks in with a
this shirt.
This is my favorite.
I feel like you have a much more honest conversation
that way.
Yeah.
100%. It's way better.
All the time.
It's a hard one.
Stereotypes exist for a reason, I guess.
Only hot takes here.
It's a blast. What are you guys doing now that um you're gonna be running bunkers yeah your job nothing changes for me but i am fired we'll say that again um so we're gonna start a youtube
channel i think we're gonna do a lifestyle youtube channel we filmed our first video and it's gonna be edited on monday we're gonna get it out and then we're going to start a YouTube channel. I think we're going to do a lifestyle YouTube channel. We filmed our first video and it's going to be edited on Monday.
We're going to get it out and then we're going to launch it and just run with it.
We've learned so much over these past few years about YouTube and like how it works
in the business.
And I think we want to try it.
I don't see why not.
I feel like we would miss out if we didn't give it a shot.
Buying a boutique in downtown Bernie.
I mean, that's next on my list.
Yeah.
So there's not enough of them. Yeah. I'm only going to hire people with tattoos. Good. Yeah.
People have the entire time. The entire time I've been at bunker, everyone's always like,
why doesn't bunker have a YouTube? YouTube. Like I want to see what's going on. Like,
it's a real business where like we actually work and we actually do stuff. So like,
if that happened my
job is now figuring out like all right i showed you the screen printing press already like you
know now we got to go bigger and bigger and we got to really like write content where we shut
the building down because we got to do fantasy factory stuff to keep people yeah going but if
it's like partially what our channel is going to be, when stuff pops up, I can film
it with my normal day to day so people can get that look behind the curtain at the bunker.
At the same time, you guys were always doing cool stuff.
When Chaka was over there and whatnot, you guys did the team dodgeball and stuff like
that.
There's always stuff.
Stuff that really wasn't even filmed.
We just have a fun culture.
Yeah.
Last time you were down, that i was barbecuing dude oh
yeah that's stuff that happens is it argentinian yeah yeah bro just open flame he made like
empanadas and like pineapples and all kinds of shit yeah we had uh um this is my grandfather's
recipe no we had a argentina you say Ufaville, Argentina, you say.
Ufaville and CallMeChris and all their friends came out to have a tour of Bunker.
It was the perfect day.
Ufa takes one bite of an empanada and just looks at me like a deer in hell.
He goes, bro, I don't know what's happening.
This thing's so good, I want to start fighting people.
That is all he said.
That's just the idea.
Cody, look!
What?
Not at me, not... look at Brandon.
What?
What?
Yeah, that's right, Cody.
This is the Dell 700 by Turtle Beach.
Do you mean the ones that have an 80-hour battery life with Quick Charge?
Cody, they're also noise-canceling.
Watch.
Brandon, put on your headphones.
I don't wanna.
The thing I hate about Texas is these.
They're horrible. But the food is really good. That's the one thing I hate about Texas is these. They're horrible.
But the food is really good.
That's the one thing I have to say about them.
I don't know what you said, but I'm sure I agree with it.
I wish I had those headphones for that.
When I was a kid, I always wanted Turtle Beaches.
These were like the be all end all, like this is what all the cool kids had.
But I was broke, and so now it's cool that I finally have a set.
When I was a kid, those didn't exist.

Now that you mention it he is a twin
What? Y'all wanna get that deep into the Nazi lore?
You trying to Mengele?
Do you dive into Nazis?
He's like oh I like the history part don't you worry
I'm just too gullible.
I thought you were like, no, really?
No, no.
Yeah.
He's not.
But yeah.
Clearly, everyone missed.
As it turns out, if you freeze drive on as a twin, they die.
It's like, wow.
What's the YouTube channel going to be called?
Yeah.
I think we're just going to call it The Sanders.
For us, yeah.
We haven't really.
We've kind of spitballed a little bit on that to figure out. And we haven't landed on anything. Yeah. Outside of just about us. So he's going to call it the Sanders. For us, yeah. We haven't really, we've kind of spitballed a little bit on that to figure out, and we
haven't landed on anything outside of just about us.
So he's going to show Bunker.
We're going to show our actual in-depth dive into our life and what it looks like in this
crazy work world.
And so I'm also going to be, we haven't really talked about it yet.
I'm going to start a channel with Mikey and David, and it's going to be a bit of a spinoff
channel from Demo Ranch.
And he's going to tell his fans, be like, I'm not going to be here anymore.
But these guys are, and they're still going to do this fun stuff.
Yeah.
No idea when this video comes out.
Yeah, when he leaves, there's going to be a void in that space.
Because if you guys don't know, there's a crazy background lore to all of us,
especially that I'm just hanging out at Demo all day.
Yeah, we've been on the channels for a while now.
Yeah, dude.
I'm looking forward to seeing all that you guys do.
We're excited.
Even with all of us.
It's like, even though you guys just aren't on camera all the time.
It's like you guys have always been there in the background.
Yeah, we're around all the time.
So we see the way everything works all the time.
So we want to jump in.
Yeah, we're already basically in the world.
We're just not main characters yet.
And that part is a little scary.
Do people actually give a shit?
I think I'm fine.
It's the hardest part.
But viewership will let you know.
It's like five views.
Fuck.
Yeah.
Babe.
Is off the ranch going away too?
Yeah.
Everything's going away.
Everything's going away?
I didn't know that part.
Yeah.
So yeah.
That makes me sad.
Yeah. Tell me about it
that question of what's going to happen with this next generation of youtubers with their kiddos are they going to hand it off or they just kind of shut it down that's what i was i was talking to
you about that it's like eventually when i leave my youtube channel because i have a thousand twenty
videos now on my main channel it's like what do you do when you just retire?
You just give that to your kiddo.
I have a fever dream that John is going to go become a security guard for a
little while and then just start doing security guard video breakdowns to
troll you.
And it becomes immensely popular.
That would be hilarious.
Honestly,
that's a pretty solid idea.
That's great.
And it does.
We're the,
cause we're the first generation of like youtubers people to
do this type of stuff so what do you do when you're done with it yeah i always wanted to like
hand it off to like one of my boys or something like that like if i if i got to that point you
know a few years from now we're either you know shit's just like declining or like i just i'm
done like i just want to retire yeah it's like hand it off like kind of like spider-man all
right miles morales there you go.
Here's your mask.
They're going to try that.
That's what we're leaning into with the channel.
We'll see how it goes.
It won't be entirely Demo Ranch.
We've all been on Demo Ranch a lot.
Really more in the last year.
We've been a lot more involved in that in front of the camera.
Do you think that was intentional?
I don't know.
If Matt really thought he was going to quit. We and being a part of it i don't know i mean if matt
really thought he was gonna quit we didn't expect it i don't know yeah it was more of a it started
feeling like friends hanging out at the range and doing crazy shit like that's what we did and it
was fun yeah so we want to keep doing that oh you mean like us backing a truck up to a house and
throwing a fridge through a window yeah wait till you see the video we just did it's pretty epic i
can't actually say what it is but it's pretty funny this will probably come out in like two weeks two to three weeks yeah
okay yeah so it'll be you can say it then yeah oh yeah so he ran he he brought out the 510 and
did y'all ever see the murder van with all the guns yeah um he demolished it and knocked down
three trees in the process and it was a disaster what's that the gold man no no the big red one
so mikey or we all we mounted guns all over it.
And we did a video on that.
But the van's just been kind of sitting around.
And now he's going to be done with YouTube.
So he was like, we should just smash it.
So he ran into it about 20 times.
He knocked down a bunch of trees on the range.
And it was a mess.
But it was fun.
I think the Goldie that you were talking about, that was the first time I brought John out.
Yeah.
Goldie was a long time ago.
We destroyed that years ago.
That was fun, man.
My son had such a good time.
He shot the fuck out of that.
Did it light a fire?
Because didn't you do it around a circle?
Yeah, he chained it and then let it drive itself around the circle
and then shot at it, I think.
And then that was the first time Whistle and Diesel diesel came down we brought it to behind the bunker and
whistling diesel brought monster max and crushed it behind bunker so yeah oh shit yeah a lot of
fun times it's just it's the more you talk about it the more i realize like it's just what what a
fun concept where you know your channel is going away in a couple months and you're just like man
we're just pulling out all the stops like yeah i don't need to invest anything else into this like
let's just do whatever we want that's kind of what the feeling is in the office right now is like
what can we do that's big and fun and crazy and we're trying i mean we're doing our best to think
up whatever we can you have a show like how i met your mother or like the last season is basically
just a love letter to the entire show right yeah That's definitely kind of what it feels like in the office right now.
It's dope to look at it like that.
In the mirror, dude.
Yeah.
But then we're, like I said, hopefully everybody's super sad that it's leaving and they kind of know us.
So the hope is just jump on over to our channel.
It won't be the same content, right?
No, it's going to be different.
We're pretty different people than they are just in terms of everything, right?
It's like Matt's own personal hell where all of his friends are still YouTubers,
so he's not actually off camera.
He's just not making the money anymore.
Pretty much.
Maybe you have all the recipe for success.
That was funny.
It's a recipe for success.
Right.
We know how the business runs, right? Jenna's literally spent the last four years- Yeah, I've been doing it for success. It's a recipe for success. Right. We know how the business runs, right?
Jenna's literally spent the last four years doing it for both Off the Ranch and Demolition Ranch.

i still think this is a small like i still think this is a small podcast until like
it's the people come up or anything and we were the number two veteran podcast in the
fucking world which is so cool.
Like three quarters of it.
You're a true veteran, Brad.
Did you see when you walk into this house?
I saw the fucking shrine you guys made.
I didn't make that.
I came into that and I was like,
who did this?
I forget who.
I was like, that's Aubrey.
I think that one was Jake.
I missed the shrine.
I'm going to have to look at that one.
Hard to miss.
If you have all these guys will say it is if you know what to focus on and how to do it, you can be successful in the YouTube space.
Right.
Prince repeat.
Mr. B said he's like, give me a new channel without my face.
I'll still build it up to like five, 10 million.
Yeah, which is crazy it was uh jay schlatt i think came over
to demo that one time uh where he basically admitted to uh like building up a channel
specifically for that it had nothing to do with him didn't have his face didn't have his voice
anything and like he built it up over like 100 200 000 subs in like a year so crazy because it's
like you just know how to do it yeah Yeah. Yeah. So we'll see.
We're going to try.
That's how Fat Files started.
Yeah.
I just wanted to see if I could do it again or if it was all just I got lucky once.
So I just started the second channel.
I didn't really tell anybody I was doing it at all and just uploaded the video.
What is Fat Files at right now?
I think it's about to break half a million.
That's awesome.
That's pretty quick.
But there's a lot of people that don't know that I have two channels.
So there's a lot of people that just think that the Fat Electrician channel uploads random videos about businesses and hockey games and shit.
That is really funny.
I literally just – I watched one.
I was like, great video.
Today we're going to talk about Waffle House.
So a lot of the videos on Fat F have like a million views but it's only
got half a million subscribers because so many people don't even know it's a different channel
yeah that was that first one was that liquid death i was like weird transition okay but
oh no it's a whole new channel
it's like popping me like when uh when mikan decided to get away from mikan and doing his
normal animation stuff and he started started doing Papa Mii.
And it's so fucking hilarious just watching any of the stuff he does.
Yeah.
We all love your videos.
And then when you started doing just not military stuff, you're still bringing your personality in there.
And it's so fucking good, dude.
Yeah, the humor is so on point.
We talked about it last time you were here, too.
I wasn't in the military
even though everybody in Bernie thinks I am
because I'm a big guy with tattoos
we can make that a thing
the amount of times I get thanked for my service
is crazy
because we're also in this world
we're in this world
so people just assume
and I look like I did
and I always have to be like no I was a pussy you're and I look like I did. Yeah. And I always have to be like, no, I was a pussy.
You're smart.
I just say pussy.
Smart.
I'll go to H-E-B and people will be like, thank you for your service.
You have it more often than you think.
I never get that in public.
I'll just like an old new C in my license plate, and they'll get a knock on the window.
It's like, thank you for your service.
And then I'm confused of why an old dude just walked over my car. then i asked him i'm every time it's happened three times i'm like
oh thanks how'd you know it's like the purple heart on your like uh yeah when you guys when
you guys before i became a host when you guys transitioned from baddie's dining room to this
this house all the neighbors thought eli was a fucking drug cartel. What? I mean,
think about it from their perspective.
A bunch of cars roll up
one week a month.
Your McLaren pulls up and he doesn't live here
and he just puts a bunch of shit inside.
At the time we started,
I was rolling up with a Raptor,
Brandon's rolling up with a Raptor, you're rolling up with
your fucking dope-ass car.
It's like a bunch of really nice cars.
Yeah, you were driving the Porsche at the time.
And there was a bunch...
I love our neighbors. They are
the sweetest people. But she...
And they grab our...
If we used to, if we had a bunch of packages,
they would take it and hold it for us or put them
in the house.
But initially, they just thought drugs
were getting ran through this house. So there was a stack of boxes that's there's like eight boxes big boxes yeah and then
they the neighbor she grabbed it and she left uh uh on the ring doorbell she was like i know what
you do we have your stuff next door if you want it and then moved it all there and then i walked
over and she's like what are you like husband he's a vietnam vet yeah yeah vietnam vet awesome and uh and then she was like
oh well this and this i'm like oh no here come here i'll give you a tour and then afterwards
military all that she's like thank you so much and now they're the sweetest neighbors nicest
fucking people they thought for sure i was a prove yourself in the podcast house it's like look
we're all better this is what we do because even our guests coming through the house
tattooed fucking dudes yeah and they're doing something shady and you have fucking neighbors
where nobody is at the house ever except for one time a month. There's 18 cars outside. Like, all right, come on.
That is really funny. Until all hours of the night.
Yeah.
Checks out.
I get it.
And then, like, especially, like, houses like we have, like, at guys our age.
And then you just have, like, these massive groups of tattooed fucking...
No one lives here.
With $100,000 cars.
Then you've got Chell walking around with her Irish accent.
Like, the Irish mafia and the cartel are working together.
Selling goons to the IRA.
Now they love us.
Yeah, Shell's walking through the front yard
like, no, I just manage them.
I just do.
Hard wrangler.
Yeah.
You've got your own.
What was one of your Wrangler. Yeah. Our team got your own. I like that. We imported one.
What was one of your craziest stories dealing with like demo
and that entire era
that you guys have been part of?
Oh, gosh.
Yeah.
I don't even know.
That's like a favorite story
that hasn't hit the internet.
Not that everything's kind of...
Or it could happen.
I was going to say craziest
was the assassination attempt. i would love to hear
your guys so we were at dinner with matt when it came out with like a bunch of people when we found
out we were having like a giant friend dinner thanks for the invite sorry
oh a friend dinner he sent us that that text like in like a big group group text yeah basically
not so many words chad am i cooked yeah so he we were all sitting there and matt kept checking his
phone we were like what are you doing and i think i want to say it was drew that texted him and was
like dude he was wearing your shirt and all of us were like what and i go and i look at my email and
every major news station is in my email being like asking for us to talk to them and i was like oh
hell no like i'm not talking to anybody at this point for obvious reasons good journalists aren't people
yeah yeah we're not gonna talk to you yeah it was crazy it was insane yeah if you guys don't know
what we're talking about it was the second attempt first first attempt the first attempt on trump's
life but you guys were all having dinner and he was like oh yeah and that drops and we were like
oh we pulled up to the dinner party yeah like oh yeah and that drops and we were like oh we pulled up to
the dinner party yeah like oh somebody just tried to shoot trump like that's crazy yeah
we saw it and didn't realize so we're just kind of like chatting like oh that's weird and then
we sit down for dinner and matt's just like it's like every he was keep checking it obviously our
group chat was on fire oh i'm sure and then because it was the hardest i've ever seen where
the guy gets you know he got grazed
but he got shot yeah he had a campaign event immediately just oh like this yeah
he won i mean yeah everybody was like this this election's over yeah yeah so then he like pulled
us aside and he was like i don't know what this means yeah i don't know why this is bad yeah and
it was crazy it was a crazy week or two We actually shut down the storefront at the bunker, too, because...
Yeah, we were worried about people showing up.
Yeah, we didn't want people coming in and asking just our storefront associate who just
works there.
Undercover journalists.
Yeah.
Whatever to do anything.
I mean, it was a media fest.
That's all they were doing.
But you did a really good job.
You followed the rule that most people don't follow.
It's like shutting the fuck up.
Right.
Exactly. Yeah, 100%. And the't follow it's like shutting the fuck up right exactly and his strategy behind it matt's video video he did a really good job yeah
he did and we were proud of him for that and we're like yeah he showed it to us before he put it live
and we're like yeah this is perfect like we all like obviously no one wants to be a part of any
of this yeah it was crazy yeah it could have been it could have been way worse you know yeah
watching it was like they're in a militia I was like well they never
met any of these people
I was shitting my pants at the time
because I had just taken out
a very substantial loan that my
house was up against to buy into
the company and three days
later that happened and I was
like well that fucking sucks for me
I'm just glad that anybody who's tried to take
shots like that has been just a complete shitter really bad at it like man i'm so glad it's only
the worst kind of people that suck at everything and try to do this because yeah yeah for sure
like that we got really lucky you know everybody talks about like the media bias and this and that
and like that was the first time we actually like seen it got to see it firsthand or like
articles about the things they were saying
were so the demolition ranch is a right-wing like hardcore militia and they called it the
demolition ranch like if you did two seconds of research yeah you know they're called demolition
you fucking idiot like not the demolition yeah yeah it was like through about nine months of
that yeah it sucks so we don't hate the media enough, dude.
No.
If you think you hate journalists enough, you don't.
Yeah.
The lies they're willing to tell is really insane.
And we saw that firsthand so quickly in those first two weeks.
And we were like, how is this even possible that they can publish it?
It doesn't make sense.
And it's all for clicks.
It's all just to get a headline.
Right.
Yeah.
And they never correct it after the fact.
And if they do, it's like a fucking footnote at the bottom of the thing it's already done beforehand like does not matter what you
there have been articles where it's like this and it's like oh it's that wasn't true but you got it
wrong they're professional click baiters yeah like they literally make their money like care about
yeah i've said i'll say it again they're shitty influencers yeah at this point because all they
care about is clicks but they're just not even good at it. I've seen it for years, bud.
Yeah.
Every
single...
We talked about it earlier.
1,022 cop videos
now. Anytime
the cop does something slightly
wrong, even...
It doesn't fucking matter if they were wrong or right.
As long as the media gets
their clicks and that's what they were doing with matt there like as long as they get some fucking
adsense and they can get their clicks like that's all they were doing that's all they were doing
the thing that drives me nuts about your content though is it's like all he does it all he does
is defend cops we'll also say bro he's got a fuck ton of videos calling cops fucking idiots and saying they should be fired.
You gotta watch more than one.
Like, I don't know.
Like, I just.
Boom, like, are you like, have you watched these ones?
The one that I always share is the one that happened here in town while the kid was sitting in a parking lot eating a burger or eating at McDonald's.
Oh, we did.
Yeah.
Brandon did the McDonald's video about that.
Yeah.
Like, you shot me in my car?
Yeah.
That's one of the only videos
I have where we did a skit.
It was with you.
That was really funny.
The laugh track I loved.
I forgot about that.
How the fuck did that not come up during the campaign?
That's a good point actually i
don't know man they didn't do their research yeah because because that whole video i'm like you
fucking idiot cop you dumb piece of shit like what the fuck were you doing and no but i'm a bad guy
it's yeah i'm with the fucking guy on the planet making fun of this cop but no no i'm a bootlicker that's the internet you get
like it'll skew it push it out and then tread harder daddy yeah but you guys recovered really
fast from that incident well there's another there's another attempt like a week later so
it's crazy how something that big like how quickly the dust can settle and
everybody just forgets like no one has no one's talked about it or commented about it at all
well yeah my bad now great but with the rule we follow it's like give it two weeks the internet
will forget if you address it holy shit yeah then everyone's gonna probably make a video on
set addressing and you're also making you're leveraging your own platform to give it gas.
Well, he addressed it so head on.
Obviously, I have nothing to do with this guy.
And eventually, cooler heads did prevail.
You're right.
He was in a unique situation where literally he did nothing wrong.
No, you can't control this guy.
Buy your merch.
That kid went into his
closet that day just happened to grab that one it wasn't a freaking shirt or or he had ulterior
motives and he was like i'm gonna make this look bad about guns and he googled who's the biggest
gun youtuber yeah you never know i'm gonna buy that shirt we wanted to fit into a pro truck crowd
right like there's so many different things.
He's like, ugh, black today?
Nobody's going to know what was going through
that kid's mind other than
300 Win Mag.
Yeah.
That's why we were on the same page.
It was the free space of bingo.
I was waiting.
I was going to...
What about you?
Other than that situation, what was the craziest?
It's just been a ton of fun.
We get to do these crazy events.
The Cletus and Cars events are some of the most...
Those are so much fun.
Those look amazing.
You should go.
It's so much fun.
Just always forget. It is hard work because we go set up a mobile merch tent and we just take enough people
to run it so like it's a 12 plus hour day we're actually in the booth selling all day long but
then at the end of the day we get to watch like at the last event someone put a jet engine inside
a minivan and the back wheels were spun off of the turns
of the jet engine.
Yeah.
And they did a burnout with it.
It was so cool.
It was fucking crazy.
That's fucking neat.
Yeah.
It was so cool.
Can we talk about, and remove this, Chase, if you need to, but can we talk about the
one fan that came up that was chastising you over not having a 13XL shirt?
That happens everywhere we go.
Really?
And that's actually not unique to what we do.
We have that same problem at my old shop in Corpus.
I have literally printed an 8 XL t-shirt.
It's like a throw blanket.
It's crazy.
It's a parachute.
Yeah.
And we get the same thing.
Why is it more expensive?
Because it's like fucking 18 shirts worth of cloth.
Yeah, right.
Because it's four times the amount.
But the same thing goes for like tall tees and women's cuts too.
Yeah.
Like, yes, there is a very small percentage out there.
We tried it.
We sold tall tees.
We sold women's cut shirts.
It's not big enough.
The six people that bitch about it are the only six people that buy it.
Like.
Yeah.
And half the times they don't even, they don't even buy it.
Right.
Yeah.
They just want it to be an option so that yeah yeah now we in a handful of our stuff we do go up to six because 6xl is
something that we can like get easily uh we actually just did some of your stuff in six
because he was like hey uh my name's the fat electrician and the big boys can't buy my stuff
i mean fair i got a lot of emails about that yeah uh but yeah we daily
daily is probably too harsh but like at least one a week is something along those lines of yeah but
like somebody didn't somebody come up yes it's always weirder when it's in person because they're
genuinely pissed that we don't have it stocked like no we didn't travel states away with a bunch
of 6x t-shirts yeah i can only bring so much stuff here and it's got to be the stuff that is going to sell like turn their oxygen there's a thousand people here
yeah there's a thousand people here that are size large and you that are a size 7x like right
i'm not gonna consider it's not realistic for us to travel with that i probably shouldn't say it
do it but you're, we can delete it.
We're the same shirt every day.
That's not why people are going to think you're gross.
But we love our fans and we love the customers of bunker brand.
I gotta say that.
Yeah.
It's just hard when you're getting in those like 18,
we would love to make a size 18 shoe for two of you. Right.
You're buying entire fucking molds yeah
one shoe is thousands of dollars to create we we've heard from uh the shoe that we've been
doing people are like can you make an extra wide shoe and as you're saying it's like you
gotta get the molds for that molding 22 000. Yeah, it's just not worth it. Just for the rubber sole alone.
That's crazy.
It's just not realistic to do.
Or that we decide because we hate
fat people or we hate people with big feet.
That's not the point. We wish we could help
you all. We fucking wish
we could print this much.
You're a small part of the community
that we are a large part of the community.
Logistically, it's a fucking challenge.
And on top of that, maybe just wait for fucking
RFK to ban seed oils so
you're not 800 fucking pounds.
I don't think it's just the oil.
It might be a little more than that.
I think it's a progress to a lifetime of bad decisions.
We talk about this all the time.
How many calories do you need to eat per day to stay that size?
Yes.
I'm not talking about somebody who's like...
Like 10,000, right?
It has to be up there.
Yeah.
Not somebody who's mildly overweight, but like my 600-pound life.
You need a crane to get you out of bed.
I love that show.
I do.
It's a guilty pleasure.
It's a guilty pleasure because you're having
to constantly eat all day i can't feel like much yeah so like if you're getting that big
then how much do you have to eat you're like you're on a bulking diet it's the laws of
thermodynamics yeah period not allowed to say that well at that point they just stretch their
stomachs out so like they can just keep filling it up it's like on big bone like your uh bones are like two percent of your weight yeah
it's like this it's that x-ray where it shows like a fit person versus a fat person
but the bone structure is the exact same yeah it's just everything else tacked onto those bones
you know what fuck it we're going here um I can't fucking stand getting on like fitness influencer Instagram and just having some
normal size like gym trainer be like, I mean, I would eat less and move more and just autistic
heavy labor breathing screeching in the comment section of fucking women being like, you're
not a doctor.
You don't know that
people are different it's like no it's literally physics like if you eat less fucking calories and
you burn you lose weight okay you ever seen newton came up with this have you ever seen
and like my argument is and how i know this is true for sure without a peer-reviewed study and
i'm not a doctor watch any fucking footage from any pow camp ever there's
never any obese motherfuckers in the pow camp when they're starving to death just saying yeah well
you know if you you have too much of a caloric deficit your body actually stores more fat like
tell that to the holodomor right yeah yeah there is over there there is genetics that go into it
I'm a naturally bigger dude
my whole family is just on the thicker side
I always joke
I have to work pretty damn hard
to look kinda mid
I gotta work my ass off
to be like
that's your first shirt
by the way
kinda mid that's kind of interesting. That's your first shirt, by the way, for your YouTube channel.
Kind of mid.
That's a real good shirt.
That's actually really kind of good.
Get that three weeks of time.
Perfect.
I love this.
I'd rather be a little fluffy
and be able to bench 315
than be 200 pounds and hate my life
because all I do is fucking eat.
Just diet.
Chicken and broccoli.
That sucks. I feel like it's important to say like we're not targeting
people that are slightly overweight and like oh if you want to be technical i'm probably
you're the one bleeding over into my optic it's not my fault no 500 600 pounds yeah
when you get to that point where you're like on a mobility scooter every day
you can't think that's healthy yeah yeah it's idea of, and I'm being a personal trainer back in the past,
it is one of like, that's what sends me
You're so autistic. I'm looking at your phone,
you're googling laws of thermal dynamics.
I said Newton,
and I was like, that's not right.
I do not believe in Newton. It was
Rudolph Clausius and William
Thomas that came up with...
Real-time fact check. That was the guy that invented
the figs. Yeah, I was like, I gotta fast check myself i don't think newton's what i fucking hate
but it is like
and we've had amazing stories from uh the people out there of losing weight to like hey this is
what got me motivated to do better be better and you always if you're fat and you're actually like progressing in that journey,
it's like,
you know what?
I made a fucking mistake or a lot of mistakes to get here,
but I'm stopping it and I'm going to be better versus the person getting on
airplane.
It's like,
Hey,
they tried to charge me for two seats.
Yes.
You fat piece of shit.
Yeah.
Why the fuck are you?
When I get charged extra money because my carry-on is too heavy,
fuck you.
600 pounds, fuck off.
And yes, when you're walking down the aisle
and we have a fucking seat in between us
and you're like...
Go on.
Sometimes there are...
The aggression is like rising.
Sometimes there are big people
who just fucking can't help it because they're big people.
Yeah.
J-Wolf.
J-Wolf.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Jacob.
We have our buddy Jacob.
But he's also like 7'3".
Yeah.
That's what I'm saying.
He can't help that.
He is fucking 7'3".
And, you know, he's just fucking 400 pounds.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, we do merch for Robert Oberst.
And that dude is a fucking mountain.
Massive dude.
He's 6'8", 400 pounds.
Not a guy.
And athletic.
Yeah, he can't help being that big.
I remember the first time I met him.
You can visualize what that is until you see it in person.
Wasn't it J-Wolf?
I think I met him a few times.
Yeah, the big guy that follows us around the SHOT Show.
Yeah, I know.
He's big.
He's a mountain of a human being that yeah in the words of fucking oliver anthony uh if you're
five foot three and 300 pounds maybe taxpayers ought not pay for your bag of fudge rounds
i love that we dove into uh we hate cyclists we hate fat people and sometimes someone wearing a demolition ranch shirt trying to
launch ourselves into the internet
people who ride bikes
fuck people who eat too much and remember that time
someone tried to kill Trump in a demolition ranch
t-shirt I love like fuck people who ride
bikes for exercise and also fuck people
who don't
that's kind of what it adds up to
you won't get any of that on the Sanders chair coming to you soon we have said though now
that we're like on camera i was like yeah this is like a time we really need to take that yeah
like that opportunity to get our shit in check a little bit get a little more in shape i feel a
little bit better about it keeps you which i will say i'm so thankful about staying in shape because
of the internet right because yeah you want to look a certain way. Yeah, bring back bullying. Am I right?
I feel like the world is these days.
It's kind of wild.
You know, we talked about that earlier where I was like, man, you get on Twitter
or IG comments now as a whole.
Instagram is bad, yeah.
Oh no, what's this video?
Because my algorithm.
Oh, you're talking about our algorithm?
Dude, because mine is like heartfelt.
And then I don't know when i click on my comments i'm like
i do if i see if i see something like that i know like i look at the comments like
it's gonna be bad oh i can say comments and all our texts comment do the comments
i think i sent cody a reel the other day it was like the day that tiktok was banned for like 12
hours or whatever but it was like the day before like leading up to the day that TikTok was banned for like 12 hours or whatever, but it was like the day
before, like leading up to the count, and it was
the scene from, I forget which
Matrix it is, but they're all in like the big
mech suits with machine gun hands
getting ready to fight the tentacle.
Octopus things come through the walls like,
me and the boys getting ready to defend our racism
app against the characters dancing.
It's like, Jesus!
He took a drink in the characters dancing. Jesus. Jesus. He took a drink
at the wrong time.
Oh, no. 1500 pro graphite at 0% financing for up to 72 months with an available 5.3
liter V8 engine,
20 inch high gloss black painted aluminum wheels,
off-road suspension with available two inch factory installed lift kit.
Plus a towing capacity of up to 13,200 pounds.
You'll be ready for anything.
This truck month truck month is on.
Now ask your GMC dealer for details.
Let's talk over a racism app.
I don't know when Twitter or X and
Instagram became the same thing, but now
my entire fucking Instagram real feed is
just car wrecks. Oh, no.
I was like, damn, when the fuck did this get here?
The TikTok refugees don't even know where to start.
Oh, God.
TikTok refugees. Such a know where to start. Oh, God. TikTok refugees.
Such a good term.
They tried to fucking take over my Instagram.
Racist app, dude.
They tried.
Jeez.
I feel like, on a good note, I feel like we should do an unsub fitness challenge.
Like a 90-day challenge or some shit like that.
That'd be fucking rad.
I would start that whenever this episode goes out.
I'm all down for that.
I'm about it.
Start fucking boxing every day again.
Done.
Yeah, you were super in shape for a while there.
6 a.m. till 6 p.m.
You're welcome.
Oh, that was such a backhanded call.
I don't mean that.
I remember when you were in shape.
That was cool.
You're not out of shape now.
You know what I mean.
I played a backpedal.
Yeah, backpedaling.
You're not out of shape now.
Well, we bring in all the podcasts and make fun of Brandon. You know what I mean You're not out of shape now. We bring him on the podcast.
You know what I mean.
I'm out of shape.
What does he mean?
I think it'd be fun if all the hosts on Unsub
took YouTube boxing matches
at the same time on the same card.
We talked about it at some point.
And fought each other?
No, just like other people.
I couldn't hit anybody off the table. You hit me. No, we're not fighting each other no just like okay other people you know i don't like we're all on the same card you hit me no we're not fighting each other we're not fighting each other i don't
think we're all any of us are in the same weight class even but i mean if we all fought on the
same card against others i just think people are like why don't you box donut i'm like i don't want
to hurt him i want to hit my friend yeah same thing i don't want to hurt brandon dude yeah
he's calling you he said he doesn't
want to hurt you
he's assuming he would win
I'm saying both of us
would pull punches
probably
I would hold back
against Brandon
if I had to fight Brandon
I would hold back
because you think
he's weaker than you
because I love Brandon
I'm just trying to
start a feud
I'll never forget
you're going to hold back
what the fuck
because the one time
we were sparring
because we were training
for my fight
and I just I fucking like let loose on one punch and like fucking immediately like
bloodied your nose or your lip or something and i was like look we're sparring still like on the
clock dude i'm so sorry man and you're like still mouth guard and you're like that fucking
i'm used to fighting so it's like i'm not getting hurt i'm when he hit me, I was like, there we go.
That made me actually...
That's the first time I couldn't read.
It was a surprise punch and it hit me.
That's what I want to see every time.
It was a genuine surprise.
You were like, you got it.
I was so happy.
There we go.
That's what I want to see.
It would just be hard to train against you guys.
I would seriously hold
back. I wouldn't want to... Yeah, you feel like you never
go full force? Yeah.
Never go full force. Then we come
here, we're just like, oh, I'll grab you another white clock,
Cody, since I have to fight you next week.
Yeah, just keep starting.
What's that? The new Gorilla Mind stuff?
Have you tried it? No, I haven't.
This is not a fucking... drink anything yeah they have a
lot of caffeine more plates more dates say 400 milligrams 300 is that the is that the
whole bunch of everything is that the lock and load company it is actually yeah that's actually
pretty good i knew he had it i never tried it it. Oh, 200 milligrams of caffeine. Never mind.
That's not that bad.
That's like the usual Celsius or Lani or whatever.
I had cut all caffeine for a long time after
my heart stuff.
After you died a few times.
I died a few times.
Didn't you have a fucking heart attack, dude?
No, I didn't have a heart attack. It straight up stopped.
It just stopped. So the electricity from his brain to his heart stopped it stopped completely four times yeah
it's a ac or dc uh i don't know it's a good question ac thermodynamics i don't know
first cardiologist i saw he was like looked at my chart he goes i'm a plumber you need an
electrician i'll go find you a guy.
So Nick walked in.
Goodness.
He's like, I got you, bro.
Why are you here, Nick?
I was just saying that I stopped.
I didn't feel any better.
I just felt like shit all the time still.
Getting off of caffeine for, it was almost like six months.
Yeah, it was a while.
I was like, when's my body going to be like, hey, we can do this on our own.
We don't need it. It just never came back. I feel like we're at the age where you don't get it back
right like that's still just now i'm just tired and i can't drink coffee or energy drinks like
this sucks i kind of i got there at one point too because like um i used to drink like fucking
three white monsters a day yeah i was bad i i was like prescribed adderall and everything like that and drank
monsters i can't i can't take that stuff i can't do like huge amounts of caffeine like i can't drink
full energy drinks without having like a fucking panic attack yeah i don't know when that happened
on it now after his old stuff yeah apparently a little trauma gives you panic attacks so i got
those crazy yeah i had to watch your husband die four times in a 36 hour span.
Were you actually
like flatlining?
He flatlined four times.
Holy shit.
One of them was for
21 seconds.
You were literally
flatlining and it's
like.
Yeah.
So.
No.
They didn't shock him.
They got it back.
Nothing.
That's what.
I hate this conversation.
Did you see nothing?
Oh, I accidentally
opened it.
No, not like that.
I'm not.
No.
You sold a fucking void. Yeah. it so what's the void like black but also one of the so the time he was out for the time he was out for 21 seconds when he was coming back yeah so i was
we know it was 21 seconds because i was hooked up to a monitor yeah he was in the hospital when
that happened he was already on monitor so they actually tracked it and when he was waking up
he said i'm hallucinating and i was like okay what are you hallucinating i'm like trying to get it
back up he doesn't remember saying it so what i remember every time feel dizzy for a second
black just lights out and then like slowly every time the first thing I remember is hearing Jenna's voice. And that was like my like grasp on reality.
I was like, oh, fuck.
I like, yeah, wake up.
Like fucking get there.
And then like I slowly come to and everybody in the room is like, what the fuck just happened?
You still laugh?
Funny story.
Dark humor.
So we get through it, right?
Dark humor.
The first time it happened we
were at lunch me jenna mikey david we're sitting at a booth in a chinese restaurant in uh bernie
apparently you can't say what i'm not gonna say what restaurant uh and i don't know anyway
hit the table roll out of the booth and like i'm out that one i i think i hit my head for like a
minute on the first one like we had an ambulance on the way i played so i played football my whole
life i i know what a concussion feels like the rest of the day i was for sure concussed yeah
definitely you're out of it so i wake up i'm like it's fine guys it's fine i get back everyone in
the restaurant is like it's not fine like everyone is freaking out back at the table and i look around everyone's quiet i go sorry i ruined
your black panther party that's your t-shirt and david david just looks at me he's like
fuck you yeah i can laugh now but everybody at the table was like shut up we were all fully
traumatized not not to like be fucking gay about We were all fully traumatized at that point.
Not to be fucking gay about it or anything, but how has that shifted your perspective on stuff?
So the first year was tough.
I still don't have a diagnosis.
I have no idea what happened.
My body just ran out of electricity to put my heart.
That's more terrifying.
Right.
So now I have a pacemaker.
In a couple weeks, it'll actually be two years uh the first that long ago yeah man it feels like it was a couple months right yeah it really does um so yeah i have a pacemaker in it is working
most of the time the last time i actually got it checked yeah i go in they put this device on me
and it like sends all the information to it which is modern medicine it's freaking crazy it's weird they can speed up his heart while he's sitting
there and lower it and watch it to make sure it's working correctly i put this thing like over my
shoulder doctor gets the laptop out he's like okay clickety-clack clickety-clack drops my
heartbeat down you don't feel that right because your heart beating slower isn't that big of a
deal and he's like and then i just feel my heart racing and when you're not exercising you're not doing anything and then your heart just starts like at 120 a
minute it's called a panic attack yeah exactly it is it was it's such a crazy feeling um but he said
so right now my device is working about 80 percent of the day so thank goodness for pacemakers yeah
heart is not beating on its own um and that is that your heart is just you need that fucking
yeah what the fuck that's basically what they told us they were like it's not gonna work on
its own anymore so we are living cypherpunk yeah yeah thank goodness they have that right i mean
and so the it took a long time it it was more of a mental game than anything right to like come to
grips with i'm okay right like it Like it's not going to happen again.
I'm fine.
And it was probably like almost 18 months or so into it that like I finally was like,
yeah, I'm good.
Like it took some real adjusting for sure.
I'll be okay.
And I like, I imagine like even just like on a day to day anxiety basis, like that's
got to kind of weigh over you. For sure. This it yeah that's fuck that sucks yeah when we got home from
the hospital we have a close friend who's a doctor and he started getting really nervous when he
first saw the kids that's like a kind of shocking thing yeah i was in the icu and he said yeah he
was stuck for a while and so once we got home he saw the kids and he started panicking a little
bit and we called our friend and he came over and like gave us like a pep talk.
Basically, it was like his heart can't stop now.
Like even when he dies, they have to turn the pacemaker off or his heart.
It'll start beating.
Yeah.
Like when I'm old and like it actually is time.
Yeah.
It will keep pumping until the doctor comes in and shuts it off.
Yeah.
Like now I've done the research.
I'm like, so I'm just pumping blood for until
somebody realizes no apparently like when you actually die and all the function goes
the heart just stops and so it just like shocks it with no actual like pumping
so you don't like just like fucking phase in and out of heaven yeah lagging at the pearly gates
sorry sorry st peter i'm doing like fucking 10 frames right now
fuck i'm further back in line damn it yeah yeah but so like my my cardiologist is super cool and
he like he was like you're young you're healthy uh I think it was almost two years before that I ran the New York City Marathon.
I'm a healthy guy.
So what, like 35?
Yeah, I'll be 36 in a couple months.
Shortly before that,
we had done the beer mile.
This was like three years ago, right?
Something like that?
Yeah.
To stress how athletic you are,
how fast could you run a mile and you're like peak so the fastest
i've ever done a mile is like 6 30 ish but you can continue that yeah so i mean he's a big guy
like going back a little bit he won the bernie beer mile which is you know your chug a beer
quarter mile chug a beer quarter mile chug a beer for a mile and he fucking blew it out of the water yeah so turns out i found my
sport drinking beer drinking beer and running it sounds like the fucking catalina wine mixer
and so we found out about this thing and we're like man me and matt were like that seems super
simple like you know it should be fine and then we found out the record was like 10 40 or something
like that and i was like i a thousand percent can beat that and so we started training just drinking
water and running like we i have a ton of videos in my phone leading up to it we're like i'm on a
run i finish the run i run inside crack a beer and fucking chug it and like let's fucking go like me
and matt were just being meatheads to each other like getting amped up for this that's a long way to say you were hammered at 9 a.m yes so my time
the world record is like under six minutes which is crazy we looked into it it was really crazy
my time was 8 32 and just because we're looking and the previous writer was 10 minutes yeah you
practiced yeah yeah yeah like i practiced with you guys that one day when the old lady came and kicked us out oh yeah we tried to train in the
middle of the street at nine o'clock in the morning this lady just comes outside and sees a
white like folding table with like 40 beers on it and us two just like fucking slamming it and
then we just run away she's like hey what are! She was pissed. What are you doing? Yeah. Fucking Catalina Wadman.
Influencing.
She wrote a letter to Matt saying how disappointed she was that we had been on YouTube of her
yelling.
It was a whole thing.
Yeah.
She came out there and she was fucking screaming at us.
She was not nice.
Yeah.
Hold on.
Tell me about these beers.
So it actually, it was at a brewery in town.
So it wasn't even like.
Are these like craft brewery beers or like bush lights?
No, like craft beers.
We were practicing for it.
Lady screamed at us.
We went back to Matt's house.
We did it again.
Yeah.
We did two that morning.
Yeah.
And yeah, so when he actually did the thing, there was, it was craft brewery beers, right?
Yeah.
It wasn't just because we were slamming like Coors.
Yeah.
It was just like Coors Light. Like water basically yeah and yeah so there was one dude that was
keeping up with me the whole time again he's just like a skinny like he looks like a runner I look
like me yeah and like he's like he shows up thinking he's got this and I'm fucking I got
him out the gate and he's like struggling to keep up. Like, how is this chubby guy keeping up?
And so I remember we're coming into the last beer neck and neck.
And if you puke, you're disqualified.
And so I'm just staring at him.
He's staring at me.
And we're drinking.
And he like spits up and like pukes up a little bit.
And I just go, puker!
It was so drunk.
What were you guys drinking just whatever the it was so they gave it it was four different heavy yeah it was four different beers there was a dark beer in there for sure
it was the four different ones so you drink a beer run a quarter mile yeah drink a beer quarter
mile so they were bottles four beers four quarter miles 832 and then when you're done you realize i
just chugged four beers in eight minutes and my heart's pounding quick yeah like five minutes
later i told you i was like i'm i'm kind of drunk you were all drunk and then they went tubing for
the rest of the day they were just so incredibly hammered by the end of the day sloppy so all that
to be said i'm a healthy dude uh and so my cardiologist is like you're fine don't think
about it there's actually now the only thing that was wrong with you is fixed you can go back to
your life you can drink caffeine you can drink beer like just be a little more mindful of like
what you do and so that and so that's so is there like like you charge it somehow or like no so it's
got a battery i actually i can tell you how somehow? No, so it's got a battery.
Actually, I can tell you how much battery life I have.
It's like a conductive charger where, like, you lay down in bed.
No, there's no charger at all.
No, he'll have to get it replaced.
What did they tell us last time?
Ten years, I think. About ten years, I'll need a new battery.
And then after about 30 or 40, I'll need a new device.
What's even crazier, they did the pacemaker surgery while he was awake.
It lasts, like, a week.
Yeah.
So is it like a fucking watch where you like just walking around recharges it
no yeah it doesn't recharge at all i don't know what's going on the fuck's the last 10 years
it is really crazy especially working at 80 of the time like it's it's not what i'm pulling from
this is when you die there's just darkness yes that's all i saw jenna said one time i said hate that hallucinating
but the other three times like it sorry guys it's just it's just black uh what was it like before
you were born exactly yeah maybe you just didn't get far enough because you still had brain activity
maybe the the pendulet thing that's what i tell myself to feel better it's like yeah tell myself to feel better. Even if you're not a religious person.
Because if you're a religious person, obviously,
you think that there's an afterlife and everything like that.
There's a place that your soul goes
once you're gone.
But even if you're not, it's like the Penn Jillette argument
where it's like, is the year 1890
scary to you?
Well, you weren't there for it.
It's just like the year 2190.
You're not there. I have 11 years of battery life left yeah and then he'll go get it yep damn he can
keep an eye on it yeah you want to see my heart beat i think oh that's so that's creepy no i can't
actually see it but like future yeah it says it's active and it's transmitting to my phone and then we love this trick start
so this transmits to my phone my phone transmits to the cloud and if something weird happens my
doctor gets an alert yeah so if you go on splash mountain and your phone gets wet, you're fucked. No. No.
So, like, right after I...
Once again, it took me a while to get... Hey, everybody have a good ride?
Yeah.
So, last year, when I...
I trained to do the Murph.
First time I ever did it.
Because I was like...
So, one year...
A year to the day, I trained myself back up, benched 315, and then started training for the Murph.
That was the goals.
I'm going to...
You know, I got to get back to normal.
The Murph is the 2115.9, right?
No, it's a run.
It is 100, 200, 300, and one mile.
No, it's a mile, 100 push-ups, 200, or 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats a mile.
Yep.
100 pull-ups.
I've never done it before because I can't do pull-ups.
I'm 250.
Pull-ups at that big don't work.
But one of my friends is a fighter pilot here in town, and he does a big thing at his house every year.
And he's like, you've got to do it.
So I tried. How long do you have have i drink as long as you work you want to do under like a good time it's like under an hour yeah you can split it up too though right yeah so like i did
uh usually 10 20 30 is what i would do roll 10 20. Yeah. Or, or, uh, you can even go like five,
10, 15 if you're getting too tired. Right. But so as I'm training my heart spikes and it's going
crazy. I had an, uh, an appointment with my doctor like two weeks into training. He was like,
looking at my stats, he was like, have you changed anything about your, your life recently? I was
like, what do you mean? He was like, I like i'm seeing some crazy uh some crazy activity on
your on your stuff like what were you doing on tuesday at like 5 30 last week it's crazy they
can just know that yeah oh i was i was working out he was like what were you doing at your house
approximately 11. so it's like yeah it's that detail that like he saw for approximately 20 minutes.
20 minutes.
Casanova over here.
I know.
Wow, look at him showing off.
What a brier.
I was trying to pump you up, man.
I don't know.
We're living in the future yeah and so i
even think about like in 30 40 years when i have to change my device like what's the technology
gonna be then like i'll straight up just be a robot like yeah maybe they can just charge the
one you have and you don't have to get a whole surgery yeah because the surgery is the old
jen is like he's the old one please yeah
but no the surgery was when he was in surgery.
The surgery was nuts. I was awake for it the whole time. They did not put me under.
Wait, hold the fuck up.
You want to know how hardcore
fentanyl is? You can have heart surgery on
fentanyl and you don't feel it.
Did you just ask a cop?
You want to know how hardcore
fentanyl is?
It changes the history of mankind
yeah like that's that's actually how we're saying this of course people have never seen it in real
life or know like that's how fucking crazy this drug is like you are awake thousand percent i
what's crazy i hope my doctor watches this and he sees it with the stereotype of surgeons is what
they're like the bros of like medicine because you have
to be confident to like right i'm gonna i'm gonna put something in this 34 year old's body so he
doesn't fucking die i'm the man right like that's how you have to think yeah i hope that's how my
surgeon thinks right the goal right i don't know if i'm ready that's the stereotype
like anybody watch Scrubs?
I just told my surgeon it's not a cyclist.
They also shake their hand very shittily.
Anytime you meet a doctor.
They got to keep their hands
soft and nice, right?
Anybody?
But if someone's like...
If you do that handshake,
you should be euthanized.
I don't know, but they fucking do surgery
on our hearts, I guess.
The two worst handshakes is the little
like that and the guys who like
only seen a handshake in a cartoon,
so they think you need to go fucking one foot of vertical
movement. Every fucking surgeon
I've ever met, though, dude, it's fucking...
Gotta preserve the hands hands that's the livelihood
so they don't tell me or Jenna
that I'm not going under
this is why you pay for pepper box
and so
they strap me into the bed
and then like she's like hey we're gonna
give you fentanyl
we're not putting you under
it's Tuesday yeah if you feel anything let us know
they numb me around a little bit it's tuesday yeah if you feel anything let us know
they numb me around a little bit it's not even a fat friday
they put a curtain over my head so like i don't want to look and right before it happens i hear a doctor walk in and he says to some other doctors like i i can't i wish i could remember i was on
fentanyl trying to remember stuff and he says something along the lines like let's fucking do
this and like i hear a high five it's like fuck yeah
it put me at so much at ease at this like they just need a hand go up looking for a high five. This dude's got me.
I'm going to be fine.
Dude, I would be so hyped.
That's fucking rad.
Yeah.
Dude, I'm still more surprised that it makes sense.
You can't see it.
That's like one of the rules.
But it's also like.
That's shocking.
Yeah.
So people in my, this bothers the fuck out of me.
Because I've never been put under for any sort of surgery of any kind.
That will happen soon.
We'll hear the fucking issue.
Don't fucking tell him that.
When you get your butthole examined, that's what they do.
They put you under unless your brain wants to go wrong.
He's not close to 40.
My doctor just kisses me on the neck.
That too.
I need a new doctor. My family has a thing where
people in my family have whatever the
gene is where you
wake up during anesthesia all the time but you're
paralyzed so it's basically like sleep paralysis yeah you feel like locked in syndrome or whatever
every a lot of people in my family have that that's terrifying scared yeah don't get surgery
yeah because you're not numb during surgery you just are unconscious yeah yeah yeah that's crazy
they wake up and they're like like trying to like blink sporadically to wait to tell the surgeon that they're awake oh my gosh that's all they can do and usually they like tape your
eyes shut normally right i wouldn't know i mean that's true have you been under before yeah with
when they do the uh was it uh and uh colonoscopy and then the other one and I just hate the movement of your index finger yeah I was like this and they knew
see it worked
but it is the same
like I was put under
and they're like hey it's both
and you're
yeah
and I was like is it like at the same time
and they're like oh we'll do one
and the other was like same thing and I was like no
I was just kidding.
But it is.
You are.
Okay.
Yeah.
And then you're out.
And I woke up.
Sav's the one that said, I think she's told it.
Like the doctor's like, Eli, wake up.
And I was like, I don't remember.
I don't remember like five minutes of coming to.
And then I was like, oh, hey, what's up?
Yeah. I was like, I'm sorry. An's like sad talking. He's like, oh, hey, what's up? She's like, babe, what the fuck?
I was like, I'm sorry.
Anesthesia is crazy.
Yeah, Nick, you just had surgery recently.
Did you get your pec?
I've had a bunch of surgeries, yeah.
You had a shoulder, right?
Yeah, I've had both pecs, tonsils.
Yeah, I've had a bunch too.
ACLs, I've had all kinds of shit.
What was going under for you?
I've done surgery so many times that I dick around the whole time.
You like try to
make it to the station?
Every time they're like, they lay you down
and they put the mask over your face or whatever
and the anesthesiologist is like, okay, I want you to count
slowly backwards from 10. I'm like, what is it
for Francisco? And I'm like, wait a minute!
And they're like, out?
And it's like, time?

And, like, they'll put on, like, some cartoon and I'll be like, Cason loved that.
And they'll be like, we did too.
And I'll be like, oh, fuck.
How they talk, everything.
Especially you guys.
So different, yeah.
Even John, it's that idea of how they talk, what they find interesting.
It's a completely different messaging style of content. And you're like, huh? Yeah. different even john it's that idea of how they talk what they find interesting it's completely
different messaging style content and you're like huh yeah it's interesting or yeah when they were
little like i want to be a youtuber like that's not fucking real and then i got this job turns
out it is and then it's weird how many kiddos do you have two yeah and then they're getting older
you got a boy that's 14 he's going to high school next year yeah does he know how cool his parents job is yet or
i think so yeah he appreciates what we do and the fate like the cool things that we get to do
because of it i think is a big part of it that he he sees and gets it he's a pretty cool kid
when i first well one of when i first hung out with john like years and years and years ago
we're like we were at drive tanks and like like one of the first times we were hanging out anyway and like he was
shooting the fucking 50 cal on top of the tank i was just like yeah that was cool yeah i'm like do
you recognize how awesome this is you have no clue like yeah when i was the first time i shot a full
auto m2 i was like 20 and i like damn near came like that was fucking awesome yeah yeah dude it's
it's hard teaching your kids
especially growing up like like our kids are growing up just being around all this awesome
such a different you got yeah you guys don't understand how freaking cool all this stuff
is that we're doing yeah yeah and trying to keep enough of like reality set in like normal life
yeah it's a balance for sure yeah he it was a couple years ago he was
just being a little shit and i like i was just so mad he wanted to do something it was just
dumb i was like i didn't have air conditioning in my house until i was in fifth grade
you can fucking chill and i was like all right take a step back yeah like perspective is big
yeah dude you and i are on the same path right now. Like, dude, because I just took him to Shaw Show for the first time.
Oh, man.
And that's a whole experience in itself.
He did really good.
It's like, dude, you have no idea what you're experiencing right now.
Your world rocks.
Right.
It's pretty rad.
He's close in age, right?
They're like a year apart.
I grew up in a fucking trailer.
Right, yeah.
We didn't come from anything.
Okay, yeah, that's it.
You eat macaroni and cheese because you like it. I ate it because I had to.
We're not the same.
The first two years
of starting my business on ramen,
I had the glass
pan.
That was my meal. It all came from the
glass pan. Going out to eat
at restaurants was probably once every few years.
Yeah, that's what I'm trying to teach John too.
Yeah.
Like it was such a joy to go to like fucking, to go to Olive Garden or, you know.
Yeah.
Chili's.
I literally thought Olive Garden until 18 was like what rich people ate.
Yeah.
Like that was my mind.
It was that and Red Lobster were like the special occasion places.
Yeah.
Yeah.
People ask us
like oh why do you go out to eat every day because i can yeah it's like i because i remember
what it's like because you've earned it yeah yeah for sure yeah there's a local restaurant in town
that can relate to yeah my mom would just barter dance lessons for us to like go eat at their
restaurant for free and that was like we were excited about she did a lot of bartering yeah i'll pay you dance lessons yeah yeah yeah we got to go she owns like a
we were all poor
one thing we all always have in common is just being poor as shit yeah isn't that funny that's
that's that's where we come up from in this podcast. I always
get shit. They're like, you got money. You can buy a
truck. You can do this and this and this.
You don't understand. Everyone at this
podcast, every one of my
friends, we all grew up
very shitty.
I didn't grow up
like shitty, but we all remember
what it's like to not have any fucking money.
Yeah, definitely.
Why do you think I went to war and thought it was a good idea?
That's big small. Pretty fucking lifestyle leading up to that.
I thought that was a glorified lifestyle.
Probably grew up pretty fucking poor.
I was like, man, that sounds dope.
And I make $3,000 a month.
What?
It's wild.
Yeah, that was awesome hearing the first time when I went in the the recruiter's office how much i'm going to be making dude and you are i get
i get three thousand dollars a month are you really i can do that g life and then you got
shot you're telling me if i work for 25 years that's a million dollars
as long as you don't spend anything at all
you work 20 years you'll make seven eight grand a month i think so this
aren't major makes in the army after 20 something years wow yeah that's crazy
no i tore my knee in high school playing football and so i was told that like you
can't join anytime the recruiter would sit down like acl surgery i wish i had sorry my dad sat me down
he taught me how to join it because like i i had you know a lot of friends good thing for the enemy
that's the next kid good day for the enemy
it was just really funny because like that's that's what i always wanted to do because you
know i had so many friends that were like you know their parents were sf you know stuff like
that like just growing up in fort bragg like that was just the thing that you did and uh my dad's
like oh no go to law school and then like dropping out of like that that path in life
dropping out of that like three semesters
in i was just like well fuck now i don't know what the fuck to do i guess i'll try gun tube
i knocked up my girlfriend in college and then you met jenna right
we were going to school to be a PE coach and graphic design.
Great paying job.
Honestly, we made out great.
You look like a PE coach.
All of a sudden, the dodgeball
at Bunker hits different.
Yeah, I wanted to be a coach
and now I'm glad I'm not.
Didn't work out.
You're welcome for getting pregnant.
Time to drop out and get a real job.
Everything we do nowadays is like real job.
Yeah.
Sure, fuck.
Spring break 2010.
A normal job actually sounds really good at times where you're like,
nine to five would be fucking dope.
So you can just come home and like chill.
I mean, I'm still in the nine to five.
Yeah, we've been lucky enough that Matt was very family oriented in that so that like nine to five really was our hours all the time like we
we did normal hours and obviously we did weekends out of town and things like that that would add
yeah we really kept a relatively normal schedule through it all yeah that's the goal yeah always
yeah anytime nick comes into town he's always
just hanging out at bunker he's like up at the ass crack of dawn like there's nothing else to
do i guess i'll go get a coffee and go see what clint's up to i mean i don't know i got i got
little tiny kids you're used to being up yeah dad get up i want milk yeah you don't have a choice
yeah you know what i mean it's like i'm getting up at seven every day you guys don't get up. I want milk. Yeah, you don't have a choice. I'm getting up at 7 every day.
You guys don't get up until 10.
I'm not going to sit here at the young son's house
by myself for three hours.
I might as well go hang out with Clyde.
One of y'all needs to wake him up for milk.
Yeah.
I'm going to stand over his bedside
and be like,
I need some fucking milk.
Please give me some milk.
In my house.
Get milk. Turn on Bluey.
Fine.
You guys stayed over at my place last night.
I'd just wake you up standing over you.
I want milk.
I need milk, buddy.
What did we do last night, Brandon?
We went over to my fucking house
and just watched both road houses
walking trout made hot dogs
that's a good night
4 in the morning
something like that
I'm a wimp
I can't stay up late anymore
I was tired
I haven't slept much
and then waiting for food
I told you guys I was like i haven't slept much and then waiting for food i told you guys
it was waiting for food to show up i'm like i'm awake savannah
food got there eight as the amount of times i felt my phone on my face like just waiting for
shit and you know you're so fucking exhausted no i'm I'm fine. I'm fine. It's a good bit. Yeah. But you guys
had a good time? No hangover?
No, not at all.
That's a win. Connor was like, hey,
we need hot dogs right now.
He's like, alright, buddy.
At one in the morning.
And then he
demanded that we only eat them
with raw onions, which was giving
Cody a panic attack.
Because raw onions are the f***ing devil, dude.
Cody's like, you're not going to caramelize them?
Or is it like, put them in a pan?
Chef Cody. No!
Raw onions!
Do you expect everybody else to do it as well?
Is he alive?
Is he here? He's hurt.
He came down for a moment.
I'm hurting too, man.
I told you, I'm like, man, that last drink that night well last night i'm like that probably should have been
a vitamin water which one was your last drink there you go there you go
you're fucking raw onions you fucking crazy princess just
do this raw onion shit
so after this podcast
Sicario at my house
I mean you do have
ketchup and mustard
this time
if Trout wants to make
hot dogs
we won't have to wait
on that
I'm such a fucking
bachelor dude
I said I'm such a
fucking bachelor
I had a DoorDash
ketchup and mustard
that is definitely a bachelorDash, ketchup and mustard. That is
definitely a bachelor thing.
Having condiments and everything.
I will say, this is the first time I've ever
been over your house and there wasn't
a ballistic gel head in the fridge.
There is.
You missed it. No, it's on my staircase.
Oh, okay. Yeah. We're gonna shoot
him. It's Hitler.
Yeah, we're doing the...
I don't know if I can talk about this yet on the podcast,
but we're doing a video.
It's the assassination series and whatnot.
It's going to be the gun that killed...
Testing the gun that killed Hitler.
And basically recreating the shot.
I bought the original Reichmarked fucking PP...
I think Walder PP.
So you're going to go to shoot the dummy and then stop
and then film a vlog moving to Argentina?
Or what are you doing?
Exactly.
But I'm going to be like,
the dummy in the plane.
I'll watch out for the lady with Argentina in the corner.
I'm in a beach with a duck.
That has to be the cut
right before. That's a good bit
and we might use that.
I had a bit where I'm like
I really want to do a video
on the guy who killed Hitler.
Because if anybody
was a hero, if anybody is the guy you should listen to, it's the guy who killed hitler because like man everybody if anybody was gonna like anybody was a hero if anybody is the guy you should listen to it's the guy you should
who killed hitler and i'm like in the fucking earpiece what's that
oh hitler versus hitler it's like a mortal komb screen. I think I told you guys about hanging out with that fucking
dude that ran counter-ops in Argentina.
Yeah.
Place you can't go?
There's a cemetery. Yeah, there's just
places you can't go, but there
are a lot of towns in Argentina where
there are very blue-eyed,
tall, blonde people.
Wonder why. There are some
cemeteries you just can't go to.
You guys want to do what
gang does in Brazil?
I want to go see the Confederados.
Oh!
Yeah!
That would be interesting.
After the Civil War,
after the Civil War,
when they lost, a bunch of
Confederates were like, fuck this, we're moving!
And they migrated down to Brazil.
And there's like a couple of towns in Brazil that are completely founded.
And the population is predominantly the descendants of Confederates.
They're called the Confederados.
They like straight up do the fucking Virginia real in front of a Confederate battle flag.
Wow.
Like in fucking Brazil.
It's crazy crazy 150 years later
yeah just like confederate flags everywhere in brazil that's insane that is nuts yeah i've never
heard of that no it's pretty crazy that's a good gang episode because that is a wild
you're just showing that and you don't show where you are until you say it's like oh yeah by the way
none of these people speak english or do they i don't know i you are until you say, it's like, oh yeah, by the way, none of these people speak English. Or do
they? I don't know.

in the podcast,
when you gender swapped me, it looks
remarkably like Nick's wife.
Alarmingly. Shut up.
Bro, it's shocking.
We could be relatives.
That's pretty crazy.
Nick has never looked at me the same sense.
That's why he licks his lips.
Never shave your beard.
This is why I'm always happy.
You just keep the beard.
If you grow your hair out
a little more and shave the beard off,
we might have an issue.
An issue?
