Starting point is 00:01:02 Welcome to Unsubscribe. 3, 2, 1 Hi everyone Welcome to the Unsubscribe podcast I'm joined today by Eli Double Tap Fat electrician Clint from Bunker Branding Jenna from Demolition Ranch Lore
Starting point is 00:01:20 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.
Starting point is 00:01:36 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.
Starting point is 00:01:50 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.
Starting point is 00:02:00 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?
Starting point is 00:02:15 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?
Starting point is 00:02:24 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.
Starting point is 00:02:52 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.
Starting point is 00:03:09 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.
Starting point is 00:03:17 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
Starting point is 00:03:32 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.
Starting point is 00:03:53 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
Starting point is 00:04:14 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.
Starting point is 00:04:31 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.
Starting point is 00:04:41 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.
Starting point is 00:05:07 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.
Starting point is 00:05:27 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.
Starting point is 00:05:43 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.
Starting point is 00:05:55 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.
Starting point is 00:06:08 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
Starting point is 00:06:23 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.
Starting point is 00:06:41 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.
Starting point is 00:07:26 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.
Starting point is 00:07:42 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
Starting point is 00:07:54 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.
Starting point is 00:08:02 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
Starting point is 00:08:31 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.
Starting point is 00:09:00 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
Starting point is 00:09:35 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
Starting point is 00:10:06 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.
Starting point is 00:10:44 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
Starting point is 00:11:24 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
Starting point is 00:12:00 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,
Starting point is 00:12:11 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.
Starting point is 00:12:20 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.
Starting point is 00:12:49 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
Starting point is 00:13:06 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.
Starting point is 00:13:46 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
Starting point is 00:14:13 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
Starting point is 00:14:47 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
Starting point is 00:15:28 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.
Starting point is 00:16:06 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
Starting point is 00:16:36 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
Starting point is 00:17:23 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,
Starting point is 00:17:39 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
Starting point is 00:18:04 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.
Starting point is 00:18:20 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
Starting point is 00:18:38 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.
Starting point is 00:18:51 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?
Starting point is 00:19:02 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
Starting point is 00:19:34 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.
Starting point is 00:19:54 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,
Starting point is 00:19:59 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.
Starting point is 00:20:21 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
Starting point is 00:20:56 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?
Starting point is 00:21:17 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
Starting point is 00:21:45 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
Starting point is 00:22:31 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
Starting point is 00:23:07 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.
Starting point is 00:23:18 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 hey brandon you ever wake up in your bed feeling like you just fought in the war yeah what do you ask you ever wake up and feel like you slept in a sauna?

I think it might have been at a SHOT Show event somewhere. It was at one of the parties. 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.
Starting point is 00:25:40 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.
Starting point is 00:25:54 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. Hit pause on whatever you're listening to and hit play on your next adventure.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Stay three nights this summer at Best Western and get $50 off a future stay. Life's a trip. Make the most of it at Best Western. Visit bestwestern.com for complete terms and conditions. That was a big eye reveal. Just the eyes? Just the eyes and how he's comfortable doing it. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:26:28 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.
Starting point is 00:26:38 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.
Starting point is 00:27:00 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.
Starting point is 00:27:37 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,
Starting point is 00:27:55 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.
Starting point is 00:28:04 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.
Starting point is 00:28:40 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.
Starting point is 00:29:06 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.
Starting point is 00:29:22 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.
Starting point is 00:29:32 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
Starting point is 00:29:57 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.
Starting point is 00:30:30 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.
Starting point is 00:30:44 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.
Starting point is 00:30:59 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.
Starting point is 00:31:27 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,
Starting point is 00:31:42 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.
Starting point is 00:32:13 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
Starting point is 00:32:46 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
Starting point is 00:33:03 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.
Starting point is 00:33:27 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.
Starting point is 00:33:40 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.
Starting point is 00:33:55 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.
Starting point is 00:34:10 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.
Starting point is 00:34:30 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
Starting point is 00:34:47 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.
Starting point is 00:35:01 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
Starting point is 00:35:38 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
Starting point is 00:36:26 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
Starting point is 00:37:09 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.
Starting point is 00:37:37 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?
Starting point is 00:38:08 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?
Starting point is 00:38:25 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.
Starting point is 00:38:39 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
Starting point is 00:38:56 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
Starting point is 00:39:18 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.
Starting point is 00:39:32 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.
Starting point is 00:39:43 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.
Starting point is 00:39:57 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.
Starting point is 00:40:12 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.
Starting point is 00:40:33 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.
Starting point is 00:41:18 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.
Starting point is 00:41:39 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,
Starting point is 00:42:10 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%
Starting point is 00:42:26 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
Starting point is 00:42:41 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.
Starting point is 00:42:55 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.
Starting point is 00:43:36 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,
Starting point is 00:43:59 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.
Starting point is 00:44:33 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
Starting point is 00:44:53 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:45:47 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.

Starting point is 00:47:14 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.
Starting point is 00:47:28 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.
Starting point is 00:47:51 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.
Starting point is 00:48:08 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.
Starting point is 00:48:21 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.
Starting point is 00:48:35 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.
Starting point is 00:48:42 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
Starting point is 00:49:11 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.
Starting point is 00:49:24 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.
Starting point is 00:49:48 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?
Starting point is 00:50:03 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
Starting point is 00:50:34 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.
Starting point is 00:50:57 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.
Starting point is 00:51:13 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
Starting point is 00:51:35 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.
Starting point is 00:52:08 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?

Starting point is 00:53:53 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.
Starting point is 00:54:15 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.
Starting point is 00:54:27 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
Starting point is 00:54:55 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.
Starting point is 00:55:18 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.
Starting point is 00:55:38 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.
Starting point is 00:56:06 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
Starting point is 00:56:26 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
Starting point is 00:56:40 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.
Starting point is 00:56:57 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
Starting point is 00:57:29 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.
Starting point is 00:57:45 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.
Starting point is 00:58:00 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
Starting point is 00:58:45 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.
Starting point is 00:59:13 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
Starting point is 00:59:36 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
Starting point is 00:59:51 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.
Starting point is 01:00:01 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
Starting point is 01:00:39 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
Starting point is 01:01:13 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.
Starting point is 01:01:49 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.
Starting point is 01:02:00 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
Starting point is 01:02:26 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
Starting point is 01:02:42 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
Starting point is 01:03:15 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?
Starting point is 01:03:36 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
Starting point is 01:03:52 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
Starting point is 01:04:16 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
Starting point is 01:04:39 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.
Starting point is 01:05:01 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.
Starting point is 01:05:17 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
Starting point is 01:05:54 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.
Starting point is 01:06:35 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
Starting point is 01:06:57 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.
Starting point is 01:07:17 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...
Starting point is 01:07:41 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
Starting point is 01:08:06 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.
Starting point is 01:08:12 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.
Starting point is 01:08:37 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.
Starting point is 01:08:47 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.
Starting point is 01:09:00 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
Starting point is 01:09:20 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.
Starting point is 01:10:09 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
Starting point is 01:10:25 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
Starting point is 01:10:56 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.
Starting point is 01:11:19 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?
Starting point is 01:11:34 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
Starting point is 01:11:45 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
Starting point is 01:12:37 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
Starting point is 01:13:12 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
Starting point is 01:13:41 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.
Starting point is 01:13:53 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.
Starting point is 01:14:04 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.
Starting point is 01:14:31 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
Starting point is 01:14:52 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,
Starting point is 01:15:14 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.
Starting point is 01:15:27 600 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

Starting point is 01:16:13 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
Starting point is 01:16:34 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
Starting point is 01:17:00 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.
Starting point is 01:17:29 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
Starting point is 01:17:45 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
Starting point is 01:18:14 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

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.
Starting point is 01:19:08 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.
Starting point is 01:19:25 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.
Starting point is 01:19:43 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.
Starting point is 01:19:53 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.
Starting point is 01:20:02 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.
Starting point is 01:20:18 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
Starting point is 01:20:46 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
Starting point is 01:20:53 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
Starting point is 01:21:01 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
Starting point is 01:21:18 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.
Starting point is 01:21:40 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,
Starting point is 01:21:54 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.
Starting point is 01:22:26 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.
Starting point is 01:22:43 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?
Starting point is 01:23:11 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
Starting point is 01:23:33 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?
Starting point is 01:24:07 He flatlined four times. Holy shit. One of them was for 21 seconds. You were literally flatlining and it's like. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:15 So. No. They didn't shock him. They got it back. Nothing. That's what. I hate this conversation. Did you see nothing?
Starting point is 01:24:21 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
Starting point is 01:24:48 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?
Starting point is 01:25:19 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
Starting point is 01:25:47 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?
Starting point is 01:26:32 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
Starting point is 01:26:57 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
Starting point is 01:27:41 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.
Starting point is 01:28:17 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.
Starting point is 01:28:46 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.
Starting point is 01:29:01 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.
Starting point is 01:29:46 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.
Starting point is 01:30:00 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
Starting point is 01:30:45 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
Starting point is 01:31:34 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.
Starting point is 01:31:57 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.
Starting point is 01:32:09 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?
Starting point is 01:32:21 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.
Starting point is 01:32:51 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
Starting point is 01:33:13 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
Starting point is 01:33:57 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.
Starting point is 01:34:17 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
Starting point is 01:34:49 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
Starting point is 01:35:17 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
Starting point is 01:35:56 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...
Starting point is 01:36:25 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.
Starting point is 01:36:43 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.
Starting point is 01:37:11 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
Starting point is 01:37:57 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.
Starting point is 01:38:23 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.
Starting point is 01:38:52 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
Starting point is 01:39:10 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.
Starting point is 01:39:48 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.
Starting point is 01:40:06 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...
Starting point is 01:40:23 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
Starting point is 01:40:39 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.
Starting point is 01:41:26 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.
Starting point is 01:41:37 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.
Starting point is 01:41:49 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
Starting point is 01:42:06 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
Starting point is 01:42:51 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.
Starting point is 01:43:06 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.
Starting point is 01:43:15 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?

What was going under for you? I've done surgery so many times that I dick around the whole time. You like try to
Starting point is 01:43:46 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?

Starting point is 01:50:35 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.
Starting point is 01:50:52 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
Starting point is 01:51:05 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.

Starting point is 01:51:48 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.
Starting point is 01:52:03 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?

Starting point is 01:54:31 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
Starting point is 01:55:03 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.

Starting point is 01:56:49 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.
Starting point is 01:57:05 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.
Starting point is 01:57:20 He came down for a moment. I'm hurting too, man.

Starting point is 01:58:25 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.
Starting point is 01:58:46 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.
Starting point is 01:59:08 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
Starting point is 01:59:29 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
Starting point is 01:59:58 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!

Starting point is 02:00:31 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.
