Starting point is 00:01:17 Okay, ready? Three, two, everyone. Welcome to the Unsubscribe podcast. I'm joined here today by my co-host, Mr. Eli Doubletap, our very frequent guest, Ethan, Mr. Habitual Linecrosser, and I believe for his second appearance, Chris Cappy of now Cppy army formerly task and purpose but maybe call me cappy is on the table um we're gonna say you guys might be call me maybe no no no yeah you need to start a new channel called task and porpoise and it's just about turtles the whole channel is about fucking turtles it'd be hilarious anytime anybody types in task and purpose but there's nothing but turtles i'm not just in that statement it's just breakdowns of blastoids from pokemon like it's like what welcome back buddy

Starting point is 00:02:20 it's great to be here thanks for having me man, man. I appreciate it. We're excited. You got a whole new, uh, you're, you're taking that solo journey. You're about to doing the leap of faith, jumping off, going solo, not scary at all. I guess most people probably don't realize, but like, so what is the, I guess, what was the dynamic at the task and purpose channel? Cause for the longest time I thought you were like a one-man show or two-guy show i had no idea oh so for the longest time i was like a one-man band for the first two years i wrote edited produced shot uploaded all the content and then after i proved that like okay there's something here we're getting some views then they started to invest i got a full-time editor task and purpose gave me me a ton of opportunity. And always going to appreciate that.

Starting point is 00:03:08 Yeah. Very grateful for that. But you didn't start out on your own. You had financial backing at the beginning? Yeah. So a lot of people have that same question. They're like, tons of people, when I said I was leaving, they're all in the comments. I thought you owned Task and Purpose.

Starting point is 00:03:24 Right. And I not at all. Never owned Task owned task and purpose didn't sell it like that was not what happened like you said like i don't know if i honestly would have been huge on youtube if they basically fronted that period of time you know like when you're first you're putting out videos and they're getting like 300 views where it's a full-time job, but you're not making full-time job money. Yeah. So they were paying me a salary while I was getting like 300 views, a thousand views. And then after the first six months, a year, it started to become profitable, started to blow up. And then I got locked into a contract with them for like many years, um, producing content, making the show for them. But yeah, I had that financial backing in the beginning.

Starting point is 00:04:10 And it really was, it was huge. They let me like, they let me do whatever I want, which is crazy for a company to let you just say whatever you want, put up whatever you want on the YouTube. Because when I got there, their YouTube channel had 800 subscribers. No one was putting anything on there. So I was like, hey, can I upload stuff on here? subscribers no one was putting anything on there so i was like hey can i upload stuff on here and no one said no so i took that as a yes which that's not like that's not life advice no that is how consent works no well it's not all right not that joke i'm gonna take that one but like okay so once i started making money and really taking off like the whole thing happened so fast for me um yeah i don't know you you had like task and purpose before i think they focused more on meta youtube a little but it was

Starting point is 00:05:04 like articles news articles and then when i got but it was like articles, news articles. And then when I got there, it was so me and Patrick Baker, really close friend of mine, still friends, great dude from like Ranger updates. We would just put up skits on Facebook because there was no YouTube. So we would just put up like funny videos on Facebook and stuff.

Starting point is 00:05:20 And those would get some attention. And it was mainly task and purpose was a website and an instagram and they would do all these articles they also they have somebody at the pentagon jeff shogle amazing correspondent at the pentagon asking questions to the you know the top people at the pentagon and uh their website put out like really articles. And the YouTube side has always been very separate from the website side, though. Yeah. It had its own voice and perspective. So that dynamic also gets to a point where it makes sense to split at a certain point.

Starting point is 00:06:00 And yeah, I mean, you really dialed it in, too. You were doing up to two a week, correct? For a long period of time. For the last three years, we're doing basically like two mini documentaries. Yeah. And you're a dude. I wasn't even here for his podcast. You got him to quit his job. Way to go.

Starting point is 00:06:15 I learned from the best. He showed up one time. I want to say I could be a professional. I'm going to roll around in the mud with the rest of these degenerates. I got to hang out with three retards. That was amazing. I quit, guys. There you go.

Starting point is 00:06:31 But it was – you – two a week is ridiculous. And the level of – I mean Nick is once a big one. Like once every other week was three. I do two fat electricians a month and two fat files a month. So it's once a week. But the fat files are, you know, they're like 10 to 20 minute videos. Whereas the fat electrician ones are like 45 to an hour plus. But the amount of research that goes into it and then the amount of detail you go into. And the amount of information that you are able to absorb and maintain has all, I remember I texted you once.

Starting point is 00:07:03 I was like, how do you do it and you're like just good at it man be better get good build different no but it's really impressive what you do like uh my situation is a little bit different we. In order to pump out that amount of content, I work with a team very closely that I could not do what I do at that pace without these guys. And a lot of my researchers are also with me on Cappy Army. So this team is just really amazing people that I could not do it without. When does that actually go live? When are you rolling out the first? Saturday. No shit.

Starting point is 00:07:56 Oh, that's like. And it'll be the video on Saturday is going to be a full explanation. Because I feel like the audience has has they've given me so much over the last six years and it's been my relationship with that community has driven and built that show and i'm appreciative of that and i feel like i kind of owe them like an explanation of hey this is what happened like i love cat task and purpose keep watching them here's a full rundown of sort of like how we grew the channel and where we're going in the future because there's things like there's things i want to do and invest in and that i really

Starting point is 00:08:31 couldn't do under task and purpose and there's ways i wanted to like incentivize my team and make sure that they get paid what they expect to get paid and you know when you're working for a company you're not in control of the goals you're not in control of the goals. You're not in control of the compensation. So I like, yeah, I needed to take on the risk in order to do that. But yeah, I think you're doing it the right way. And it is a lot of those companies. It is a weird mindset. And I think they are learning. You had like donut media and a couple others, but it is, Hey, we'll build this in an individual.

Starting point is 00:09:04 And then that brand is now your identity. And then. Yeah, the company usually doesn't realize how important that is. It'd be like that electrician if that was owned by like an electrician company. And then you're like, I'm out. Nick out. They'd be like, fuck, dude, you could go anywhere else. That channel would be like.

Starting point is 00:09:26 Donut Media is for fun, you bring them up. So one of the things I'm very grateful for is that they linked me up. Like I got to be mentored by the CEO of Donut Media. Really smart dude, very appreciative of that. He taught me how to like, okay, how are we going to take this once a week thing and make it a twice a week thing? And, you know, double that ad inventory

Starting point is 00:09:44 and think about it more of as like a business because when i was doing a one band band thing i just only thought of it as like cool i got a green screen behind me and like i'm just gonna you know i don't want to worry about business and money side of things but you can't you know i got i had to grow up a little bit and then the stress comes yes and then like part why did i do so many businesses that was stupid well at least what's your first video rolling out for uh saturdays other than the explanation that's the why i left task and purpose video on saturday and then after that we're going to be hitting people in the teeth straight in the teeth with geopolitics, weapons rundowns,

Starting point is 00:10:26 and just good old-fashioned war. I don't envy your comment section. Covering current event geopolitics. Gaza! Bro, it's Tomas and Jews!

Starting point is 00:10:42 Everybody's got very strong opinions on places they can't spell I can barely pronounce them you know I'm right I can't spell I can't spell that word but I have very strong opinions about it and fuck you if you

Starting point is 00:10:59 disagree with them and I know they would respect my opinions if I went there it's like a lot of people just never went to a third world country or experienced war. If you don't, then you have this weird mindset that everyone is like a typical American, kind, friendly, or they respect your life or any of that. That can go out the window. Fucking lickety split. Lickety. Geety geopolitics sucks man like

Starting point is 00:11:26 i i even tried like i had to throttle back on some of the things that i say because people have such strong feelings in the world and geopolitics is i mean my mind is just comedy and satire and stuff like that but you like break it down cold hard facts like this is exactly what's going on i do not envy you man i do not that's why i like history i get in there like this guy killed a lot of nazis everybody's like yeah today i found electrician hitler a hero we just go down that rabbit man nick really did the jews deserve it not that bad i would like that that should have been your april fool's video you just do a pro like pro communism 100 all the good ideas stalin had four second video that's yeah bang out fucking the end they're like open an empty book and then shut the video off i actually now that everyone's here you guys

Starting point is 00:12:33 how did you meet each other we ran into each other at shot show one year and then we just messaged back and forth yeah yeah it got hot and heavy i was fucking wrecked same i remember drunk nick's my favorite it's very drunk elon hey how you doing bud you're a good guy i'm like nick's hugging he's happy right he's the happiest kind of struck i'm telling you when you get when you get nick a little bit tipsy just take him to ih IHOP at 3 a.m. It's true. Yeah. He's a simple man. I haven't shit at IHOP this trip yet. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:13:09 Yeah, you haven't. We're going to do that tonight. We're going to IHOP so you can shit there tonight? Mm-hmm. Okay. So we got different history segments. I want to know each one of your different favorite wars or moments in history because they're going to be different, I'm assuming. Because yours is world war ii nick i mean probably that's where you like fucking hammer it

Starting point is 00:13:30 i want to say world war ii because there's a lot of really interesting things that happen in world war ii however the more i learn about aircraft desert storm is just a symphony of destruction it's beautiful what schwaropf did. It's gorgeous. You talking any time in history? Like current events? You can do current events if you like. If you like now, war, yeah. I mean, I like Assyria.

Starting point is 00:13:54 I do. You know what I like about Assyria is you talk about how like, okay, geopolitics can be like, it can be a third rail, like a hot topic. But Syria, everyone can get behind the fact that like fuck isis that's fair actually yeah yeah so true what about you eli i don't know world war ii i like well i actually like the old if it's american history world war ii just crazy just that mindset actually putting yourself in that position where you're riding in a boat at depending on age 13 to 20 and then you're just heading towards a beach bullets are

Starting point is 00:14:32 whipping by hitting and then you're just dismounting running into it or you're in irijima doing the exact same thing or jumping out of fucking airplanes getting lit up like all that is wild and then japanese history like uh the ido era was uh uh to shiro not uh nobunaga like his rise to power and then how he almost unified japan and then yosha i forget his name yoshi he then unified it and it was just a farmer that managed to get that much power into that prestige, and you unify an entire country. That was a very big war country. That never went away until two suns came out.

Starting point is 00:15:12 Yeah, it was like two reset buttons hit some pretty important talents. And that reset that warrior mindset real f***ing fast. We go from warrior mindset to sun twice anime. I love how I love how I love how isolated

Starting point is 00:15:30 Japan was from the rest of the world like for a long like it's just fucking crazy it's just like the era that's never gonna happen again you know what I mean it's just the era of discovery of like we've unlocked the whole map at this point like we know it all we've seen it all but like just the idea of like just some dude on a fucking pilgrim on a wooden boat rolls up

Starting point is 00:15:48 it's like what are you guys doing oh you're wearing pottery and chopping each other's heads off all right this is this is wild what the fuck what is going on why did he do that no i dishonored his lord when he quit fire him better like i have a i just have like i don't even know how to explain i have a fascination with like animals and discovery of animals where it's like imagine being an explorer and like rolling up on australia and there's giant dog bunny kangaroos hopping around you're like do i even tell anybody about this or they're gonna burn me for being a witch like they're gonna put me in an insane asylum like you know the fucking like the platypus

Starting point is 00:17:26 like god inventing animals and talking to the angel like all right i want a bug give it like eight legs like 17 eyes and you're like gosh this is you're getting crazy with this one give it an ass rope it's like that when uh the i want uh i want a hundred legs it's like two insects they don't have any distinct form and they're like i want to be long and skinny so it's like boop and it's like i want lots of legs so and there are two millipedes like yay and he's like what's your third wish and one's like more legs and other ones like teeth centipedes you've seen how big they terrify me they're poisonous they will murder shit like centipedes and the giant ones that are like the size of your arm yeah fuck off did you know a couple years ago

Starting point is 00:18:10 they discovered a new spider in australia i'm not making this up right like i watched this guy on instagram and he's like breaks down different animals and shit all over the world like mostly it's australian shit because i don't know if you know like dude they got jellyfish that are this big that'll like send you to the yeah no it's like the beta yeah all the new animals spawn from yeah dude but yeah so that is not where you want to be born you're like what a beautiful land everything kills you dude it's insane um so like the wandering spider is like one of the most venomous spiders in existence um i believe it might be the most but it's it's like i don't know they're like two two-ish inches i mean it's a big fucking spider

Starting point is 00:18:51 don't get me wrong the new species is a wandering spider that is three times the size of the previous one and guess where it's at australia the rest of the world's like you know coming up with buildings and technologies and austral just playing Ark Survival Evolved. Like, fuck that thing. Dude, that's why I live in Iowa. Yeah, maybe. It's cold there. Guess what can kill you? Nothing except for your own stupidity. Centipedes are the only thing on this planet that scares me worse than a fucking spider. And I had one crawl across my foot one time.

Starting point is 00:19:20 Millipedes don't have teeth. No, that's fine. That's not gonna fucking, like, that's not that thing. That is that on steroids. Centipedes are just angry little just, there's no other way. They're armored, angry fucks. Like, that's all they are. They're hard to kill.

Starting point is 00:19:38 They're angry as shit. They're the bug version of a honey badger. That's what they are. United States is the best. We don't have that much. Well, never mind. We had that black widow in the garage the other day. It was a big black widow. I was like, oh, hi.

Starting point is 00:19:54 What's up, black widow? Wolf spiders don't bug me. When they bite you, they take a chunk, right? You're thinking of brown recluse. That's the one. Those are poisonous. Tissue necrosis. Yep. You're thinking of brown recluse. Yes, that's the one. And those are poisonous, venomous, whatever the word is. Tissue necrosis.

I don't know if you guys have them here. Fuck is a tarantula hawk? It's a wasp. They're huge. They're like the biggest ones in the United States.

Starting point is 00:22:11 Honestly, they're really good temperament wise. Like they'll go right past you. They're not like a yellow jacket. They won't fight you for your food. Like they got shit to do. They're just going on their merry way. But if you piss them off, one of the most painful stings on the planet,

Starting point is 00:22:22 what they do is they hunt tarantulas, sting them. The tarantula is paralyzed, still still alive they drag the tarantula into a hole lay an egg on it and then the egg surgically eats all the parts of the spider to keep the spider alive as long as humanly possible and then finishes it off and goes and finds a new fucking spider once it's grown up it's terrifying like why is that here australia like you shouldn't have just i will the most terrifying thing that could happen is just insects just instantly become like 20 times the size of like man size oh yeah that'd be hilarious i mean even that would be terrifying this is america you think i won't shoot fuck fuck, 8.6 Blackout at a giant ladybug? You're wrong. You get the one peaceful insect.

Starting point is 00:23:09 What have you shot? You shoot that one? This is the part that bothers me. This is the part that bothers me about, like, Jurassic Park. Everybody's like, oh my god, what if there were giant monkeys? They're still susceptible to fucking bullets. You know what I mean? Like, I need a 20 millimeter

Starting point is 00:23:26 rifle to kill a t-rex the fuck you do oh that's a great point in all those dinosaur movies there's never like a bradley with a 30 mic mic not even that there's never just like there's never just billy bob with a 12 gauge and a raptor runs a pow no not a single fucking time although in what was it the third one old boy he had a 45 70 he had the marlin he did that's why like jurassic park movies are bullshit like you expect me to believe you brought dinosaurs back to life and there wasn't immediately if not the people that developed the technology a bunch of billionaire rednecks in west texas with a private ranch where you could go hunt a floss raptor for a hundred thousand dollars that's exactly what would happen immediately immediately would happen i don't know about

Starting point is 00:24:20 raptor red story like it would be on every wall. A trophy raptor would be all the rage. Everyone needs to have some type of dinosaur on their wall. Utah raptor. That's the part that, because it's like, oh, dinosaur. The only reason humans are around is because dinosaurs aren't roaming the earth. It's like, no, it's not. We'd fuck dinosaurs up. My four-year-old, I took him to the zoo.

Starting point is 00:24:43 I got him a little necklace. It's a little acrylic. And in the acrylic, there's a shark tooth. Well, he keeps wanting me to take the shark tooth out of the fucking acrylic. I'm like, I can't do that, buddy. It doesn't come out. Well, I want the shark tooth out. And I'm like, fuck it.

Starting point is 00:24:53 I get on Amazon. I bought a pound of shark teeth for $7.99 on Amazon. You're going to tell me dinosaurs are fucking us up? Get out of here is there a similar animal that's like on the land that is as dangerous as like a raptor today grizzly bear right a grizzly bear would fuck a raptor up and you don't see people like people get grizzly bears do not rule the earth so again my brain maintains stupid information but the largest land mammal in the in north america is actually a polar bear it's not a grizzly bear polar bears

Starting point is 00:25:31 are slightly larger but also polar bear for some reason my brain retained this are the only animal in north america that actively hunts humans they don't give a they are so polar bears yeah polar bear yeah brown bear black bear there is like lay down or make yourself tall. Polar bears. The only one is fucking run. Like that is all. There's no like you can play dead. There is. It's going to kill you.

Starting point is 00:25:52 How does it go? If it's brown. It's brown. It's brown. It's brown. It's brown. It's brown. It's brown.

Starting point is 00:25:54 Lay down. Black. Don't look back. White. Say goodnight. If it's white, it's trying to colonize you. Run. That's not a race name.

Starting point is 00:26:00 Oh. Oh. It knows I have oil. The polar bears fucking this chase is brought to you by coca-cola wasn't there a couple years ago someone found like a hybrid like a polar bear and a grizzly bear like a kodiak got down and it looked brown but it had the same like genes i swear that was a thing somewhere they're like ligers yeah i answered theoretically i know they're liger facts they can't they can't right they can't reproduce oh like a mule they can yeah they're terrifyingly big though have you seen oh yeah have you seen how big a liger have you seen kenny the tiger oh the down

Starting point is 00:26:46 syndrome tiger google it google kenny the tiger oh my god wait he's fucking trisoma 21 kenny the tiger it's i think it's the only known tiger like that a derpy a derpy you see a derpy boy? Yeah, look at Show Chris. You've never seen that before? What a sweetheart. How did he get- Did he get himself captured? You've been the one away. I'm sorry. What the fuck's wrong with Kenny?

Starting point is 00:27:26 That's how I can cancel right there. I'm sorry. Woof. Woof. What the fuck's wrong with Kenny? Oh. What the fuck? That's how I get canceled right there. Can we just start looking at different derpy animals? That's the entire podcast. Everybody's laughing at derpy animals. They're like, what the fuck did we walk? Dude, that's like, bro.

Starting point is 00:27:42 Where? Like, it's a f***ing liger. Yeah, so I saw one. I went to one of those cat sanctuaries once to film, years ago, to film a doc on them. And they are freaking huge. So I want to know, aside from captivity, how did that happen? Because tigers is like the furthest... Well, when a mommy lion was a daddy tiger very much

Starting point is 00:28:05 when a mommy lion wants to get her flakes frosted and she calls tony so tiger is the furthest they go west is like india and the farthest east you'll see a lion is like the f***ing horn of Africa also further f***ing proof humans reign supreme because exactly how that happened we were like look at the size of that f***ing cat let's catch it that's fair transport it across the planet

Starting point is 00:28:37 and then don't think any further than that and they end up just like when it gets too big and dangerous then they give it to one of those sanctuaries well they caught the big cats more they caught them and then they're like now make them fuck yeah huh it's sterile i didn't see that on tiger king put it out in existence again yeah i think i like going back in like what you're talking about back in the day it is crazy when you hear like the war stories of like elephant battle elephants it's like, oh, how do you get rid of battle elephants? Oh, let's light these hogs on fire and it'll scare the shit out of them.

Starting point is 00:29:11 They're just figuring out what worked and what didn't work. But can you imagine not knowing what an elephant was? Yes. Dude, that's insane. Is it? Maybe in spear and sword time. I'm saying's like way modern time though not modern yeah you know what i mean like i don't know like 1200 like if there was like i don't know we rolled up on an alien planet that had like a primal civilization and they had like the equivalent of war elephants

The one Navy SEAL in it, Black Guy, Bald Head, not David Goggins. He still does content, but it was like your turn and you're up. So it would be like the four hosts of unsub is what this show was, but it was like, it's Eli's turn at some point in the next month, we're going to kidnap Eli and drop his off in the middle of some environment.

Starting point is 00:39:59 And he has to like survive and make it to this objective. But like, they got so like one dude went scuba diving and the seals were already under the water waiting for him so when he went down they yoinked his ass and then just stripped him of all his shit and dropped him off in the desert and he had to like clear 30 miles in like this amount of time or whatever and there was another one where uh the dude was going to, uh, like a conference, like shot show or some shit like that. And they had like corroborated with the hotel that they were going to chase

Starting point is 00:40:31 this dude down and they chased him down and they had it all planned out. Like we're going to start chasing him here. The only way to go is this direction. Cause this guy's going to come and block this hallway. So he's going to turn left at the end of that hallway. There's an elevator. He's going to have to take it. It's the only option.

Starting point is 00:40:45 So this dude goes, runs, gets in the end of that hallway. There's an elevator. He's going to have to take it. It's the only option. So this dude goes, runs, gets in the elevator. The elevator doors open. They shut. He thinks he made it. The elevator. They built a fake elevator into the back of a semi truck.

Starting point is 00:40:57 So when he gets in the elevator, it just fucking pulls off. And it was like the loading dock of the building. And they had, they got him. It was funny shit. I gotta remember what that show was called. It was hilarious. I would be so

Starting point is 00:41:12 pissed at my friends. How could you ever? That would be giving me trauma. Hey man, we gotta get in the elevator. I don't know. How do you ever trust your friends after they take stairs from it? I hate my friends. it's your turn okay let me go to my panic you guys could have just asked me what'd you guys do today you guys filmed a little for uh habitually fat we and about woodworking or furniture furniture yeah we went to the texas furniture museum didn't know that

Starting point is 00:41:46 was a thing we didn't either so we went out are you driving you're like no like so they have this thing out in what the hell's the name of that town new brothels new bra brunfels yeah brunfels yeah brunfels there you go that's the word um we went out new brussels is a very different place yeah i know right um we went out and uh originally we had gotten well my my missus had gotten a hold of a blacksmith and this guy was actually a former forged and fire champion and shit like that and he's like hey i got some stuff set aside was that alex or alex alex alex alex yeah alex knows you yeah i know alex yeah and so he's like i got some stuff stuff set aside for for you and nick and i was like all right cool so we went out there and forged uh turns out i'm pretty much professional i'm better in forging in every way because nick was talking to a fan and getting free beer yeah

Starting point is 00:42:33 everybody knows nick some uh like native american dude and uh he had like full get up because it's like a renaissance like festival thing there so he had like this full uh get up and he was a marine corps crew chief for 30 years oh this was like cosplay world war ii or no it was like it was like western style 1800s history buff yeah you're in character so he was like in character but then he saw me he was like i love your video like he went by went by pulling out a cell phone. He broke character. I looked him up. Uh, I posted him on Instagram.

Starting point is 00:43:09 Look at my Instagram real quick. You see his outfit. Yeah. He looked good. He looked dope. Yeah. And he was super big fan of you. And I was,

Starting point is 00:43:15 I was in there, uh, forging away. Um, you know, I'm just wanting to know Doug Mark. I'm coming for the next championship. Uh,

Starting point is 00:43:22 we're unfortunate. I love that show. It's, it's wild, but I love that show. And then wild, but I love that show. And then, so the, not the owners, but the. Is it? No, no.

Starting point is 00:43:31 It's on my actual wall. Not a story. Oh. I don't know shit. Yeah. Nice. I'll send that to him. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:43:41 Dude, he was like, was he just stoked? Yeah, it was super cool. He's a crew chief survived a helicopter crash from 6 000 feet like he's cool as shit what the 30-year marine corps veteran holy shit and a former huey crew chief god dang i should we call him crew native american i'm sorry i'm sorry. I'm sorry. I couldn't. Nick's just like, we cannot call him that. That guy's going to be in the comment section like, this piece of shit.

Starting point is 00:44:16 I'm sorry. He's like, no, no, no. But then we went and saw, they did a cannon firing and there was a guy there and he was actually kind of like, I think around me and and nick's age he's been doing this for like 20 years and like told us everything we ever wanted to know about this cannon like all sorts of information like how different cannons worked like this dude that was his tism which was great and like so we all always love like finding people who just geek out about their topic and so one of the last things we went and visited now fuck that go back to the cannons oh you want to go back to the cannon thing was wild

Starting point is 00:44:49 because i was like i was like obviously you guys don't have like a ford observer and you're like calling in like coordinates and shit on a 1800s cannon right i was like so you guys just fucking like give her the warning shot and then die or like just kentucky windage it in from there i mean he's like he's like kind of but he's like you see the setup back here like 10 feet back from the cannon he's like this is where they would make the charges that they're shooting and the dude manning that station is like one of if not the smartest dudes on the battlefield. He's basically a mathematician. So the dude at the back, after they fire once, would make the charge and how much black powder in the ball they were shooting and everything.

Starting point is 00:45:32 He would adjust the powder as they go to get more or less distance and gauge the fuse on if it was a high explosive round or when they wanted it to explode. So it's just this weird, it's like the complete 180 of like a sniper where it's like i have match grade ammunition that's a static thing and i'm gonna adjust the scope it's flipped to where like now the scope is the static thing and i'm gonna reload my own ammunition to make it work on the back end and on the during

Starting point is 00:46:01 battle during battle and they're like a well-trained crew could fire every 15 seconds so this dude is just doing math dude back there with a fucking muppet i was like holy that's really impressive 15 seconds holy shit yeah it's like a one-man artillery crew just and it's just cannonballs that are either i mean bouncing that one was six pounds yeah it was a six pound cannon so just a six pound fucking no chain ones were terrible well he was explaining like there was a really cool story about um a group of like 300 americans after the alamo they got cornered and shit like that and like what they were all doing to each other it's a really in-depth like it takes a long time to explain

Starting point is 00:46:44 but he explains that the spanish at one point in time to like convince them to surrender because they ended up surrendering is they were loading chains just chains into their uh uh cannons and firing them at the treetops and chopping down the tops of the trees the trees down on top of them to get them to surrender yeah i mean that was absolutely that that worked for me when they had the the balls like your back to back end is chain linked you're gonna see that start rotating through the air and that chain starts cutting shit apart and absolutely decimating it's a fucking lot terrifying also thinking about on the battlefield especially what line formation did you do you got in a fucking line and just like

Starting point is 00:47:23 fire and they're shooting giant cannonballs and then you watch your buddy just get obliterated by an eight pound i mean he was he's the iron but he was explaining like the different they'd throw in there he's like they throw like forks and spoons in there cut up horseshoes toss them in there like grape shot like explaining how all the loads work i was like like, God, man, humans are really, really good at killing each other. Oh, yeah. But then, oh, I do know. Yeah, I wouldn't want to go out by spoon.

Starting point is 00:47:48 No. Like, please. That's the last way I want. At least making a knife. Oh, man. And then we got into the furniture museum, and I'm not going to lie. I like your guys. Dine by spork.

Starting point is 00:48:00 We went to a, we did some canines. I met a Native American, and then we went to the furniture museum. Well, I guess the weird thing is called... What's the Swedish... Visually fit. What's the Swedish...

Starting point is 00:48:12 Meatballs? Ikea. Ikea? Yeah, that's your museum. You guys are just walking around Ikea? Just drunk off our ass. Wow! I'm going to be totally honest with you, though.

Starting point is 00:48:24 Like, going into the furniture part i was kind of like least excited about that if that makes sense and we get in there and this dude i understand how people feel when i talk about missiles now he had me like starry-eyed about furniture he was like tying furniture not kidding like american civil war and like five minutes into this rant i was like holy this guy's making old furniture entertaining this rant, I was like, holy fuck, this guy's making old furniture entertaining. This is fantastic. It was crazy. He had us looking at one chair. Well, two chairs, technically,

Starting point is 00:48:50 for like, I don't know, 15 minutes. He had a tattoo of the chair. It's his favorite chair. He had a tattoo of this. It just looks like a normal old dinner chair. Fucking listen to this. He's got a tattoo of the chair right here, and he's got a pin of the same

Starting point is 00:49:06 tattoo and it says ask me about my favorite chair so obviously i asked him about the chair he's like come here i'll show you he pulls out there's two identical chairs i mean identical like not like oh those are two chairs in the same no they, they're the same fucking chair. Like the grain was the same. It was insane. And he's like, okay, so one of these is original made by this famous furniture maker, some German dude that migrated in age. He goes, and then they wanted to recreate this style and Texas had a bunch of people in prison. So they wanted prisoners to start making furniture. So they gave this chair, the OG one, to the prisoners and said, make exact copies of this chair. And the prisoners did it to the point where one of the corners at the very front of the chair had broken off and was glued back on.

Starting point is 00:50:01 The prisoners did that. You could see where they broke the corner off the chair and repaired it and there was like one piece where there was like a big chunk like a gouge out of the seat they matched the gout like it was literally 1800s prisoners being smart asses and our or beat malicious just malicious compliance I'm so sorry I'll get the glue on there just terrifying

Starting point is 00:50:28 it was crazy dude had me engaged in furniture for like an hour he tattooed a chair that's not his does he own the chair no he's the curator of the museum and he's been working there forever it was crazy we found the 1865 version of a maga that was

Starting point is 00:50:46 that wasn't interesting so there's a stitch on the back of a chair that he explains and it's called the lincoln stitch so if you were a confederate and you had a lincoln stitch or if you were in confederate states and had a chair with a lincoln stitch people when they walked in immediately knew which side you were on yeah if you if you had a lincoln rocking chair lincoln rocker a lincoln style rocking chair it was basically like what is a lincoln style rock it's just a particular style of chair but it's associated with like abraham lincoln okay so like it was like oh if you have that chair obviously you like abraham lincoln which means you're not on the confederate which in texas part of the confederacy so and then he had like this story

Starting point is 00:51:22 about how the people that owned this house this furniture museums and uh they had this chair and their sons were um they you know obviously they're in the south so like they're part of the Confederacy but they didn't want to be so they had this plan where they were going to try to escape to Mexico and then take a boat up to New Orleans to fight for the union. And they ended up getting killed and it ended the whole family's bloodline. It was a crazy-ass furniture museum. Dude, this guy

Starting point is 00:51:51 tismed off in a way. What the fuck did I miss out on? I said, they text me, you want to go to the furniture museum? You know what I said? No. What? I'm going to do taxes. I went in and was like, we're going to do a furniture museum. Anything else.

Starting point is 00:52:07 I went into this with a mindset of like like all right we're testing my skills can i dick joke my way into making a furniture museum entertaining and the whole time i'm like holy shit it was it was really crazy i was not prepared for it dude like crushed it it was really really cool he was explaining like the whole like oh in this country they use this to build and they use this wood here when they move here in this time and then he's like instead of these bricks which they did with like the architecture in these houses he was explaining like how the german roots fed into this and they used adobe in this and like it's fucking nuts pause which one of y'all told him he should start a youtube channel none neither of them i got distracted when he should start a YouTube channel? None.

Starting point is 00:52:45 Neither of us. I got distracted when he said there was a Renaissance Festival in December. And I was like, you guys going to have that night MMA shit? And he's like, yeah, actually. I was like, can I do it? He's like, if you sign a waiver. I was like, ha ha. I'm down. In December.

Starting point is 00:53:40 you got all the contact information but it was honestly like renaissance i wasn't super enthusiastic about going to this thing but the people who were there in the history that they like showed us made me very excited about being there I was like actually this is really cool I'll watch so I'm gonna watch this all right at some point in the videos you're autistic about furniture you know that right yeah he's like a 68 whiskey he deployed to iraq twice he's like oh yeah is he married uh yeah his wife is a former uh she was behavioral health yeah yeah they met in the army honey yes you can go play with your friend i like his writing notes it's a study for when we first got in there like i saw this one shelf in the corner and i was like that's a really nice shelf i really like out of everything in there i was like that sticks out to me that's great dude went down

Starting point is 00:54:27 like it's made of this wood this is why we know it's classic open it up look inside here like the tism just straight it was beautiful like you know in pond stars where you could walk through the door with like a unicorn's foreskin and the guy's like i got a buddy that can tell if this he's the guy that that guy would call for anything related to furniture yeah this guy knows a shit ton are you gonna go to the medieval

Starting point is 00:54:54 to that medieval place yeah if we go I'm in 100% yeah we're 100% doing some fucking night fighting. I mean, we gotta talk. Ukraine's probably gonna be using armor by then, right? Ukraine's using older shit by the day

Starting point is 00:55:11 at this point, so I mean, it'll probably be relevant to his channel. That's how effective chainmail is. Any day now, they'll be using those same old cannons. Great shot. We were talking about it last night when we filmed a different episode that German SWAT is wearing

Starting point is 00:55:28 chainmail again. How come? Because they're stopping. That's all the criminals have over there is knives. So that's what they're running into. You know what doesn't work on knives? Plate carriers. So there's literally like they look badass. It's fucking like the chainmail headset

Starting point is 00:55:44 dude's got it like an AR or whatever the fuck the German SWAT dudes have. It's a multicam and a plate carrier. They look pretty dope. That's sick. Also, it's suck dick. Yeah. No, I can... Put on chainmail.

Starting point is 00:55:55 Now put on your plate carrier. Now you're ready for mail. The only part of chainmail that I found like... Because I wore it with like one set and my buddy, he used to make it. And I was like, let me try this on. And it was like just like a vest.

My favorite thing to do is to go to those Renaissance fairs and like dress up and then just immerse yourself in that world to me like me and my wife did that last year it's so exciting to just go and like pretend you're somebody else for a little bit and the winged hussars arrived sorry i was we were talking about classic battles and i was at the siege of vienna in like the 1500s i don't know if you guys are familiar with that at

Starting point is 00:59:21 all no i've any of those classic any of those like historic battles especially was it henry is it king henry when it was younger it's in the movie where it's just showing uh french king versus him and then it's just the mud he wasn't wearing plate other guy was and it's just the brutality of those fights because it was what's that channel it is medieval knights fight and it is just brutally realistic hey this is if two knights fought this is how it goes it's just like clink clink clink then it turns into mma and then it's them trying to fucking stab the other guy in the neck or groin with one of their been playing kingdom come deliverance too and i'm assuming that the fighting is just so annoying in it it's so difficult to nail down i'm assuming that yeah

Starting point is 01:00:06 swords it's not like movies where it's like i cut through your steel plate it is dink i wonder yeah dink hammers i don't think this is gonna make us fight damn it what i was gonna have a hot take and say a medieval knight would fuck up a samurai i'd probably see i knew you'd agree with me damn it it's a hard one like i will say okay because both you're still medieval knights had um steel like they were steel and you got better you just got better equipment and they use bamboo and layered wood because arrows so that's the only thing they were worried about and then by the time they were uh nobunaga is the one that introduced here comes ezekiel with the warhammer and then you die literally you watch those big-ass warhammers just kill because your head gets imprinted also i mean

Starting point is 01:00:56 sorry what's the samurai weapon that was called the the name for it like literally translates to like sword breaker it was like a gigantic baseball bat with metal studs oh that's it and it would like break katanas and they would just bludgeon you to death yeah the big like he's not joking it's like a giant like when he says a giant baseball bat is a giant baseball bat with spikes on it and it was meant to bludgeon and break they did a fantastic job of that because arrows and then nobunaga introduced firearms and they were like that's dishonorable but he fucking cleaned up japan firearms like just blew through everyone i i also think that a lot of it boils down to not just a difference

Starting point is 01:01:35 in armor but a difference in armament because like a katana is not a stabbing weapon can it yes but it's not really designed for it's more of a slashing weapon and then but like a knight is going to have a broadsword, a claymore. Those are stabbing weapons. Those are also slashing weapons. So the samurai is probably quicker on his feet, but they're going to have... They may also have a...

Starting point is 01:01:54 That thing. Ah, okay. What is it called? Tetsubo? Which is a big-ass log with metal studs. The wakatashi or wakashi it's the small so you're always carrying god bless you and they would have that to kill themselves with or to like stab it's like an antique japanese cyanide

Starting point is 01:02:15 and then cut my head off please dude uh been doing a stupid amount of research in like that old wet swords slashing stabbies repairs repairist repair rapperist dude it is the most terrifying word where you're like yes i, I'm a rapierist. And you're like, I would not say that. If you're good with a rapier, if you use it, that's your name for it. Those are still considered the best.

Starting point is 01:02:55 On a one-on-one duel, if there's no armor, that is what wins no matter what. And I was like, that's bullshit. I was going through everything. I was like, there is no joking. Those dudes just dudes just fuck up and they would kill everyone just because of the length and then it's just like it's like through the heart and you're dead there's no ifs ands or buts watch the fights on it's ridiculous they fuck shit up we got totally into medieval here god that that is a sexy man that just walked in i was like wait who just walked in i got quiet i would try not to ruin the show you did instantly instantly mr capi what are

Starting point is 01:03:31 you doing with um now with geopolitics which one are you going are you going to stay on the ukraine war that's going on right i cover i cover everything including you know american systems what are you thinking i cover a lot of times we'll. But rolling out the game, what are you thinking? I cover, a lot of times we'll go into what the United States plan is for certain areas. Talk about how the United States plans to, if they were, their war plan for Iran, for instance, how would they hit Iran's nuclear shelters? What weapons systems, where would they attack from um like i talk about ukraine yeah oh so okay have you heard about diego you're like oh this is boring very interesting oh my god so have you guys heard of diego garcia just as much this way it's a floating aircraft carrier basically but it's an island so it's an unsinkable aircraft carrier

Starting point is 01:04:25 kind of in the middle it's like off the you know like a thousand miles from iran and it's it's a british territory that they've had for forever and america like owns a air base on this island and they put all their b2 bombers oh i saw that they just put them there right yeah so that's where they go and um that's where they get all their combat power and build up there and it's when shock and awe in iraq right that's where they took off and flew from and just bombed the hell out of iraq from it's the closest place basically like logistically to run missions into yemen into iran and also project power into like you know china let them know what's up but so i love covering things like that like diego garcia that base it's just insane the floating island it's well it's an island that is basically an unsinkable aircraft

Starting point is 01:05:25 carrier because it's just for aircraft essentially and yeah like these so since the end of world war ii because things worked out pretty well for us like we got to essentially have all these pretty dope bases and i mean if you want to talk about the different some of the most strategic bases in the world there's like um bagrum for a long time was a very strategic base air base there's in uh in romania we have a massive air base that projects power into like the black sea and no no one can kind of match america african-american sea you made it way worse. Yeah. You go on and on. This is super fascinating to me.

Starting point is 01:06:14 Because that's the stuff I don't have any idea of. Jordan, also, we have an air base in there. No one really knows about it. But Jordan is... Because they don't like to talk about it. They named a shoe line after it, actually. The air base in Jordan. Yes. And it is fly. I air base in Jordan. Yes. Yes.

Starting point is 01:06:26 And it is flying. I was about to be like, It's got a picture of Uncle Sam dropping a bomb. You fucked me up because I've been there. So I was like, I was like, MSAB is a new effort. Yeah, I've been through MSAB. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:06:38 I was there for like a week. We did a, we call it Operation. He's jealous right now. Yeah, we call it Operation. You got to go there. Who invited you there? We call it operation. Jealous, right? Yeah. We call it operation. You got to go there. Who invited you there? We call it operation combat patch because like my battalion was split.

Starting point is 01:06:51 We had one battery in Jordan and three batteries in UAE and the guys in UAE didn't get combat patches. So like we called it crew immersion, which was literally them. They would send us a crew. We would send them a crew, go there for like a week and then just go back. So that way everyone got combat patches. called it operation combat patches it was a waste of time uh you know how i got mine i got shot we were uh during that time i think quake you got a combat patch and i was like well you guys get to stay here and get like hazard pay? And they're like, yeah.

Starting point is 01:07:25 Hey, I got mine in Afghanistan. Don't give me shit. I know. They're good. But those like those units where that's what they do. Just like rotate for a week. It's like, okay, come back. Everyone's good.

Starting point is 01:07:35 Good. Head home. Yeah. It's insane. And there's several bases in Jordan. Like the Jordanians are like, okay with us. Ish. Like we just like, hey hey you guys are jordanian or american like we would drive past them and like it looks like a hobo town if you've ever been there because there's the main base and then yes nick is huge yeah right nick loves traveling overseas how many passports do you

Starting point is 01:07:58 have uh none yeah they were trying to get him to Africa to go, like, on this nice... Safari? That's fair. No. But... It's just like a resort. This is not like Struggle Bus. No.

Starting point is 01:08:14 But from the mean... Look at me. You're like, Nick, we should go to South Africa. They're renowned for their hospitality towards white people. No. Not interested. Kind of got fucked up by apartheid we're going to a state yeah but uh the the the patriot side is like i don't know 15 20 minute

Starting point is 01:08:32 drive from msab so but like in between the air base and the patriot site there's nothing there's like random like houses but you're still on a jordanian base and there's just like jordanian dudes out there like doing jumping jacks in the desert like in uniform you're still on a Jordanian base. And there's just like Jordanian dudes out there, like doing jumping jacks in the desert, like in uniform. You're like, what is happening? It's the strangest thing. And then you land there and they're like,

Starting point is 01:08:51 yep, it's Syria. It's over that way. That's what they use that base for. They fly the resupply to, uh, I think, right.

Starting point is 01:08:59 Yeah. Yeah. They, yeah, they got another Syria base. There's another base. I don't know. Tower 22 is right over there. The one that there's another base i don't know tower 22 is right over

Starting point is 01:09:06 there the one that got maybe i don't know it's the the soldiers that were killed by the drones like tower 22 might have been where we landed i don't know so like near there we got on a c-17 at msab pause go ahead soldiers killed by drone our soldiers who yeah it's what it was like the first you know for the longest time they said like no american soldier has been killed by drone our soldiers who yeah it's what it was like the first you know for the longest time they said like no american soldier has been killed by air you know an air attack since i don't know vietnam i think it was and you can't really say that anymore because in 2023 three soldiers were killed by a drone attack by insurgents at tower 22 what is it like a normal small drone exactly no shit one of those type of tower 22 is in a rough spot though it's like the corner of jordan iraq and

Starting point is 01:09:51 syria like it's not in a good spot it's a rough neighborhood yeah have you done are you gonna do a video on like the border between china and india i've done oh yeah i've done i've covered that i love that it's some of my favorite like throwing rocks at each other to avoid like escalating there's a there's a chunk of the border between india and china and it's literally just like hundreds of soldiers from each country fucking looking at each other with a like a river in between them and and bats and they have like baseball bats and they like frequently get in fights and beat the out of each other with chains everything except for the rule is no explosives yeah and there's so it's even more specific than that it's like they signed a treaty where they said

Starting point is 01:10:35 okay we both got nukes right how do we make this not go hot we're only going to use what's called cold weapons so you the rule is it's literally it's specifically 200 meters and slappers only it's hilarious it's 200 meters so they have artillery cannons like but they they have to be 200 meters away and they can't use on each other so they end up just getting into brawls and like every once in a while they'll kill each other or dudes will die by like getting lost in a river somewhere. They freeze to death and shit. It's the most bizarre. We were talking about like medieval rapiering each other.

Starting point is 01:11:20 This is basically that. There's going to need to be some bleeps in this one. They're coming at each other with bats and yeah yeah there's just footage of it on the internet it's crazy isn't there the hooligan soccer people isn't their border with pakistan also like kind of questionable like they just stomp in front of each other yeah i think pakistan's one where they have like the performative aggressive dancing they like have a dance-off it's it's wild india india is on another level china and pakistan are kind of they're they're cool with each other i think they like each other and then india and pakistan not so cool india and china not so cool nobody ever talks about the american plan for

Starting point is 01:12:02 china is just give india a bunch of cool shit and let them do their thing i'm just still picturing soldiers on both sides and like no bats today they're like walking up you laugh that's what we did that's what we did in the the fucking tree incident in north korea yeah that's exactly what happened oh or the uh the jellyfish cannon incident that we did on kind of consensual when okay we'll go to that wait wait okay this i did a video on it it's uh operation onion there was a tree that was obstructing vision of one of the observation towers in South Korea, looking into North Korea. And it was like an issue.

Starting point is 01:12:47 They had to get rid of this fucking tree. So they sent a crew out with axes and chainsaws to cut it down. And the North Koreans showed up and there was this huge brawl. And I think two men ended up dying. I think it was two, maybe three, but I think two. And America was like, okay, the tree's still up.

Starting point is 01:13:09 We can't let this fly. So they fucking brought in troops, like thousands of troops on standby. And they had the South Korean special forces there with them. They had, it was, I run through all the stats, but it was something. It was like fucking like five B-52s doing hot laps on top with like

Starting point is 01:13:33 50 F-4 Phantoms doing hot laps over top with multiple Apaches doing hot laps over the top. I hope this guy had just one axe. He's like... hatchies doing hot laps over the top i hope this guy had just one axe like and but they told them so they told the americans it was the same bullshit we're like we can't go in

Starting point is 01:13:55 there with guns is what they told the americans so the americans are roll roll up and they start pulling out like axes and shit like they're ready to get in a fight about it because the north koreans shouldn't have guns either but there's just all this ordinance on top and thousands of troops with guns ready to run in and then the south korean special forces guys rolled up and they parked their humvees and they got underneath the humvees and dropped shit down that they had tied under they had crew serve machine guns and shit they had claymores mounted on their chest and they're just pointing this fucking 50 kill at the bridge while the americans are just like chopping down

Starting point is 01:14:30 this tree it was like just the biggest like fuck around and find out moment in human history god i love how much it cost to chop down one single tree this is true you know i will say that's probably the only time in american history the amount of money we spent actually went to the job at hand like i just didn't line some contractors pockets like everybody was like look we're not taking any overhead on this where i'm gonna need 5b52s holy shit god oh hello what that?

Someone sent in a story about this U.S. naval submarine. Well, they were obviously, you can't go near naval submarines when they're in port. Like, everyone knows that. Like, you're're gonna get shot well apparently

Starting point is 01:17:05 these individuals during red tide which is full of jellyfish um greenpeace pulled up and so like originally they were like we're ready to just blast them and the captain was like no no don't do that like if they board we'll deal with it and long story short greenpeace decided to board this u.s naval submarine and the crew beat the living shit out of like and threw them into jellyfish waters there was one guy they finally got a water pump going so the the ship the sub is sucking up like 150 gallons per minute including jellyfish that it's now churning into jellyfish stew and throwing at greenpeace at what like 200 psi so you're ripping people off of this ship with jellyfish water like it was it was one of the greatest stories i've ever read i loved it i

Starting point is 01:17:50 loved every bit of it so like as soon as you were talking about baseball bats and i was like that's immediately what i thought of is like u.s naval submarine putting in work with the jellyfish cannon god see like i think my life's cool and then i hear stories like that i'm like i got so many more things to check off my bucket list. I jumped out of a plane. Fucking cool. That, though? Cutting down a tree?

Starting point is 01:18:14 Where you're getting circled by everything? You got to live that moment. Like, we're going to just park our entire GDP over top of this while we're chopping this this fucking tree down like north korean gdp isn't even a fraction of what was up there i think last year they're like 2024 their gdp was like i want to say like four or five billion like it was not much or maybe that was their their defense budget i don't know i think that tree also for them held like a really significant it was like their their leader had planted it no because according to according to them uh who's the kim jong-un whatever his dad his dad planted that tree is what they said but yeah

Starting point is 01:18:57 according to them his dad planted every tree on the planet and he's i thought it was like specific no it wasn't that tree it was literally every tree was technically he and he's i thought it was like specific no it wasn't that tree it was literally every tree was technically he's johnny apple seed of north korea you know he also apparently invented the burrito according to them like i don't give a what those you know what i didn't know whenever like i'm just gonna refer to north korea's communism now because like everyone's like oh it's a it's a socialist dictator blah blah blah and i'm like hold on i didn't know this until recently. Did you know Stalin appointed Kim Il Sung

Starting point is 01:19:28 Kim Jong Un's grandfather in charge of North Korea? No but it makes sense. I didn't know that. Stalin was the one that was pushing for the invasion. Yeah. When it started I had no idea that Stalin was like you're in charge of North Korea. Yep. No clue. That's exactly what happened. Yeah. You had the Korean War everything else

Starting point is 01:19:44 I didn't know that. I don't know why that's not what happened. Yeah. You had the Korean War, everything else. I didn't know that. I don't know why that's not common knowledge. The Soviet Union backed that invasion. Oh, I know that. I know they backed it. Kim Jong-il, you know about his golf game? So Kim Jong-il, just like how he planted every tree ever. This was reported by North Korean state media.

Starting point is 01:20:01 It was Kim jong-il in his first ever round of golf achieved a score of 38 under par including 11 hole-in-ones on the pong gang golf course in 1994. dude they just they up that guy like he is a god have you seen the meme where it's like the north korean dictator's superhero power is turning everyone in the room into a Wii character. Because everyone's just jumping and clapping. It's so good. Dude, that guy did so much. You know, for any runners out there, this year is the first time in six years they're bringing back the Pyongyang Marathon.

Starting point is 01:20:41 I did a video. I did that part in my video and the jokes i mean they just write themselves pyongyang is the capital of north korea yeah but what so they have a marathon there and they haven't done it in six years and they're inviting the world to come participate they just started like letting foreigners come to visit now they shoot them before they get i have no there's always that chance i'm not going there you. I'm not trying to get extradited to Russia. I have no clue. Yeah, I saw that.

Starting point is 01:21:08 I was like, these jokes write themselves. I'm still waiting for the UK to extradite me for all the shit I talk on Twitter. Oh, it's good. Apparently they said they were going to start doing that. I hope they send an unarmed cop to my house to arrest me. Oi, larder! Excuse me, I'm on a chain mail. Oi, I'm here to see you

Starting point is 01:21:26 Are you in? Where's your gun? Oh we don't carry guns in the UK We have this thing called doctor in law Let me introduce you to my 4 year old With a.22 Your kid gets a fucking state sign before you. Why does he have nightmares?

Starting point is 01:21:53 This would be so cool when he goes to school, though. First grade got a teardrop. He's got a deployment patch of my front yard on his shoulder. It's your hat. It's just that. It's just a UK flag with a tally mark underneath it. That's all it is.

Starting point is 01:22:13 Dude, Iowa's gun laws and shit, just like the culture, I would totally get away with it too. Oh, absolutely. I would be like, what happened? Oh, yeah, no,

Starting point is 01:22:22 you don't even worry about it. High five. The cops would give me a high five when I show show up a foreign nation trying to oppose their law here bro so like i because i have like five cops or students and iowa is a standard ground state which me or not uh standard well it is standard ground state but they have uh mutual combat laws in iowa so mutual combat is literally like you could just say you want to fucking fight about it and walk out of the bar. And if that motherfucker follows you, you're legally allowed to fight about it. So that's different than stand your ground.

Starting point is 01:22:53 Stand your ground is like when you're involving like guns and things of like, you don't have a duty to retreat. But mutual combat is like, we can get in a fist fight. Like if I say, do you want to take this outside? And you say yes. And you follow me. And the cops show up and the bartender's like that guy said do you want to take this outside that guy said yes followed him out there and then they got in a fist fight and that dude whooped that dude's ass like nobody's getting in trouble right the cops will show up and like referee it it's like throwing down the gauntlet pretty much yeah today's equivalent of a gentleman's

Starting point is 01:23:26 beef there was a dude i want to say it was somewhere in the u.s he found a weird obscure law i remember reading this a couple years ago i'm gonna have to find it he was like 80 or 90 something years old and he got a traffic ticket and he tried to invoke trial by combat i remember that footage that was like i saw that i was like this is wonderful like dude and you know he would do it like he'd be like fucking let's fight i think they just like dismissed the whole case so like dude like we're not doing trial by combat for like an 80 ticket bro like just go on your merry way it's not a big deal get on camera is new york a stand um mutual combat state to retreat duty to retreat you have you you have a duty to retreat you have to try and try and retreat even if it's available including in your

Starting point is 01:24:18 own home so that's like the opposite of a stand around it's like don't do not stand your round yeah give up the ground give up the ship is the flag the ground not anymore hey you ain't got no ground yeah okay that's the official but i also like i i learned pretty recently that the stand your ground is not like all encompassing in different states like wyoming which is where my uncle lives the only reason i know this they view stand your ground that is your home your vehicle and if you're a business owner your business that applies to a lot of castle doctrine too because a lot of castle doctrine includes your vehicle in a lot of states yeah god bless america for the states that have that not new york obviously you know or california i look i don't know any other ones but those are the two off the top of my head that i'm almost

Starting point is 01:25:09 guaranteed new jersey's probably the same yeah it's not a state it's a made-up state isn't it weird how all the states where you can like get shot for being a fuckhead are all the ones that are the safest yeah isn't that strange well i will say there's an incentive to not with people yeah people don't get fucked with very much or detergent detergent yeah something's like close to yeah i will say there's one state that's kind of like i pay very close attention to it is the state of arizona very loose gun laws everywhere else outside of phoenix super safe phoenix not so much so like that's the only caveat to that like everywhere that like the looser the gun laws are usually the lower the crime rate and that's why i have an a6 my bedside nick and you call it crazy does phoenix the city have a bunch of like crazy

Starting point is 01:26:01 gun laws though i don't know off the top of my head because i know like illinois illinois is pretty strict in general but like the city of chicago and the surrounding area has even stricter gun laws yeah so it could that could be like a municipal thing or county listen nicholas guns kill guns are dangerous yep that's the whole point i'm aware thank you for that pencil'scil's right, fuckhead. Yeah, I got it. Guns kill. I sure as fuck hope so. I didn't spend all this money for nothing.

Starting point is 01:26:39 Oh my God, Rich is in frame now. Everybody say hi to Rich. Why are you picking on Ethan? Look at me. hi to Rich. Why are you picking on Ethan? Look at me! I'm Rich! I'm gonna walk in quietly in my Hoochie Daddy shorts and a Megadeth t-shirt and pretend like I'm not trying to be distracting with my magnificent mustache. Fuck you. You're flagging me

So we got these fake knockers that you can wear, and Rich put them on underneath his shirt. And I got to say, from the neck to the navel, it didn't look bad. I did look like bob from fight club i will say the hairy triceps were doing it for me with the humongous tits yeah it was like a handle to hold on to it but never mind i hope that doesn't awaken something in me why do i have

Starting point is 01:28:00 velcro gloves don't worry about it. What? You're naked with fake tits with Velcro gloves. Most terrifying image I can think of. Richard running naked. You unlocked a new fear. I didn't know that

And instead of trying to pretend that we're like, you know. Oh, yeah. It's all democracy and rainbows. Yeah. Okay, I get it. Sure, we're like you know democracy and rainbows okay I get it

Starting point is 01:31:07 sure we're the good guys alright but like why don't we just embrace that us and China if we join forces hypothetically like who the fuck could fuck with us nobody we could run this shit Europe is like

And then I was like, okay, that's just where he keeps his drugs. Did you already take it? And then he goes and gets like a protein bar. Wait. And then he goes and gets 8-6 blackout ammo. That was so rude. Were you not there for that? Oh, my God. We're going to get you a protein bar. Oh, I was supposed to wait. And then he goes and gets 8-6 blackout ammo. Oh my god, that was so rude.

That is strong rum. It's good. That is really strong rum. Yeah, I'll take one of those waters, Sir Nicholas.

Starting point is 01:34:16 I was trying to not get fuckered up today, but... Chokes on me. Too late, gay boy. Look at this. Too late, gay boy. Power health. Richard late, big boy. Look at this. Too late, gay boy. Power health. Richard, hi, everybody. My boy.

Starting point is 01:34:31 If you don't stop resisting three times in a dark room, Rich will show up. He's just swinging at the air. Just swinging at night. It's I know my rights three times. Yes. I know my rights. I know my rights. I know my rights three times. I know my rights! I know my rights! I know my rights! I hate it so much.

Starting point is 01:34:54 How many Buffalo PD members does it take to change a light bulb? Oh, none. They just keep beating the room because it's black. Oh, man. the room because it's black. Holy shit. I've done it before. I've heard it before. That's different. I'm sorry. I love you, Rich.

Starting point is 01:35:21 Stop apologizing to me. You, Rich. All rightizing to me. You rich. All right. Mr. K, we just watched your video on, uh, you just covered the one with the dude tossed a grenade and he ran out or did that just come up? Like the dude that was fucking wild. The combat footage analysis one. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:35:40 That the trench warfare that they're in is just fricking brutal. The dude just barely dodges a grenade Runs it. Have you had any of you know? I've seen the final four, but I haven't watched it dumps his face like who is saying that is like a pumpkin exploded We were talking about that earlier Yeah, his face were like this and then so here one of the reasons I feel like it's important to or like for some people it's important to see that because I think a lot of times you get like a very sanitized

Starting point is 01:36:09 look of war a look at war and unless a humane look at it yeah it almost seems like glorified it's like a movie like oh I get it but I think it's good the more people see the like brutal

Starting point is 01:36:24 reality of it that you know there's nothing glorious about this dude just happens to run up and like turns the corner at the right moment and it's a it's really just like a roll of the dice that he gets his muzzle in that guy's face before you know he happened to be like switching from his grenade to his rifle you said violence of action that's always i mean that's you can't stress that enough violence of action is what wins a lot of the time remember how people are just like obsessed with room clearing everyone's like oh let's clear this let's learn how to kick the door and you know it's like it's a choreographed we're all gonna be like ballerinas it's like that's apparently that's not really the thing anymore now you just throw a grenade into that room. What are you doing clearing that room?

Starting point is 01:37:06 That was the thing before America got super into rules of engagement. The Marines were really big on the just throw a grenade in first. Think fast, shit ass. Just yeet it in. Just close your eyes. It's a flash off.

Starting point is 01:37:22 Carbone is still one of my favorite things was engagement carbones like just pulls pins immediately i got a grenade fucking get rid of it as we switch the mentality of like peer versus peer war it's like you're not going and clearing that room or building you are flattening that building you are going and planting c4 charges on that building what are you doing going in and like risking clearing it no your deal is cqb at4s yes well it's a lot easier when the bad guys wear a uniform fuck i'm not gonna lie like that's the one thing that like i kind of get

Starting point is 01:38:05 a chubby about is because we've fought man dresses and sandals that hide amongst the population for 20 fucking years and i would love to be like looking at isr and be like that guy's in a russian uniform wearing that stupid armband let's send him to his god like that dude that fucking like the trench warfare it's like i didn't even realize until you pointed out they threw a grenade in that room. That's why he rushed homeboy. Which I don't know. If I was him, if someone threw a grenade at me, I would just freeze and be done.

Starting point is 01:38:34 And a lot of people would. But this guy had the presence of mind to decide to push up. Which is unreal to think of. I'm going to go toward the guy that just got an assault through the ambush yeah yeah yeah like it really takes something like you talk about their uniformed so when i was in ukraine something that was um a new experience for me was getting

Starting point is 01:39:00 artilleried by getting hit with Russian artillery, Russian grad rockets and Russian airstrikes and I'm like this I feel like how the insurgents must have felt. But you had a microphone and a camera camera guy never dies, you're fine that's the principle that I went with

Starting point is 01:39:20 I'm holding a camera you can't kill me I'm being mortared dude the thing that I thought was crazy about his trip was that they were like I was like, I'm holding a camera. It's crazy. That's what you're like. You can't kill me. I'm being mortared. I'm like, fucking Jesus Christ. Dude, the thing that I found most crazy about his trip was that they were like, don't wear press. Russians hunt press. And so do the Ukrainians. Wait, what?

Starting point is 01:39:34 Yeah. Oh, yeah. The Ukrainians and the Russians. Hold on. I didn't know about this. Yeah, dude, that fucked me up. Yeah. I took the press pass right off.

Starting point is 01:39:42 I'm like, I'm not trying to make myself a target. There are also a ton of Russian press getting killed. But I didn't want to go in. There's some press that go in. I mean, I don't consider myself press. I was a war correspondent. I'm going and corresponding. I'm going and reporting on what's happening.

Starting point is 01:39:59 The crazy part of my trip was that I got to actually go to Russia. I got to go into the Ukrainian-occupied part of my trip was that I got to actually go to Russia. I got to go into the Ukrainian occupied part of Kursk. Oh, yeah, you were in Kursk, yeah. Yeah. Which now, where I was, is now under Russian control at this point. Woo! Oh. I thought it was funny.

Starting point is 01:40:23 I'm sorry. Rich is going to arrest me, put me in handcuffs, and send me off to Putin after this. I'm going to be taking hot dicks in the gulag. No, but they told me, they were like, if you go there, there's a good chance. Don't go to Uzbekistan or Venezuela because they will extradite you to Russia because Russia is opening international criminal cases against anyone that illegally goes into their country so but i was like you know what you only live once dang it you know you can't go to venezuela i heard it's beautiful my wife is so upset our honeymoon is ruined our plans didn't

Starting point is 01:40:59 you say the whole time you were heading into kursk it was just like like middle of the night fucking foot to the floor like giving it the beans to get there so there were two like really bad missions that i went on the one was the curse which was broad daylight then the other one was the drone mission which was pitch black off on a broad broad daylight in in an armored vehicle and it's like a hour from sumi which is the closest closest Ukrainian town. And the whole ride is just that hour road is really... It's like holding a plank, but with your butthole the entire time. If I can say one thing. All cratered.

Starting point is 01:41:37 All shot to shit, blown up. You're going on the moon. You're not picturing, but it slows you down and it slows the logistics down. So all the supply trucks that are heading there and it is every every truck that they have in ukraine they basically paint a triangle on you know it's all civilian a lot a ton of civilian trucks that they've repurposed as like throw a bunch of 50 cal in the back of this like uh just toyota and drive it there but they they did each one was marked as military because that's

Starting point is 01:42:06 like legally you have to do that so you put the triangle on it but that's the whole route the whole route is just ton tons of trucks back and forth like thousands of them going day and night and the roads are torn to shit and there's no you can't fix the you can't take time to fix them because they'll get hit. So we're going at like a snail's pace, which it should take 30 minutes, but it ends up taking like an hour and a half. Get to the border. As you get closer, it's like just blown up Bradleys on the side of the road, blown up T-72s. I'll tell you guys like how – sort of how I got permission to go there because there's like no western media was allowed to go there but um okay so let me let me start from there so i did dude this is yeah no this is the story that i couldn't tell on youtube and so if i

Starting point is 01:42:57 can really quick it is going into moctedia we were on that 30 minute hour is an hour to hour drive to there you're it's like the moon. That's how I equate it. Yes. It is a moon, and it's just craters in the road. And when the ROE changed to, hey, you can just, if they look shady, shoot them. I was like, wow, wow, that's a new engagement. And you are like, this is a real bad area.

Starting point is 01:43:19 Because it looks like the fucking moon. The roads are just blown to shit. So you know what i'm talking about yeah you're like a hundred percent it is yeah and you're like uh it's not a good not a good neighborhood i was i was holding on to the old the old shit handle for dear life as they're driving through there okay so the way i got permission to go there because when i went into ukraine my whole thought was like they weren't going to let me go to the front. Because there's a lot of Americans that go there and they're like, this guy, he's just here to like, you know, it's like war tourism, shit like that.

Starting point is 01:43:55 And there's a lot of people that they see there and they don't let go to the front. Essentially, you're going to tell me that somebody high ranking is a YouTube fan of yours, aren't you? No, no, no. It wasn't. I mean, well, what would you do go to front it was like it was a little bit like that but basically i got to i i didn't want to like i didn't want to act like oh i got i wasn't oh you're a fat electrician. Let me take a picture. When you're right, you're right. So I feel like you can't fly into Ukraine.

Starting point is 01:44:35 They'll shoot your plane down. And they've done it before. You have to fly into Poland, into Warsaw, and then take a 17-hour train ride into Kiev. And there's no men on that train ride because it is martial law. That shit is locked down. If you are a man, you are not coming in and out of that country. So it's just like women and children on that train ride.

Starting point is 01:44:57 You get there. As you get more and more east, you start to see the signs of war. There's like bunkers. Get to Kiev. And I'm like, let's so i we hired this fixer this guy on the ground he's like my producer translator and i'm like let's go let's go to the front let's go to the front he's like no spend one day in kiev it'll be worth it i wanted to i wanted to be like no i'm paying you like you gotta do what i say but then i'm thinking i'm like you know what maybe maybe i should listen to this guy like mate he's he was

Starting point is 01:45:33 born in russia lived in ukraine since then for many years maybe he knows something i don't okay i'll put my ego aside really glad that I did because when I'm there, we went out that night. I got annihilated with these Ukrainian intelligence guys. It's basically like the CIA, but Ukrainian. You got drunk with them. Just completely obliterated. Don't use annihilated with war.

Starting point is 01:45:59 Yeah. I was like, that's why I don't have my arm. Yeah. There was this drink that they have that i don't know what it was this is kind of like a red bull vodka bizarre drink that got me it got me turned i just like this is the day before you're going to the front line well so the so we're like making i'm like making fun of ukraine he's making fun of America and we're bonding. And he's like, you know what?

Starting point is 01:46:26 I like you, Chris. You're a good guy, Cappy. And I was like, I like you too. Cappy army. He's like, what can I? Yeah. Nothing says I like you like sending you into Russia. I was like, he's like, what, what, like, how can I help you out?

Starting point is 01:46:42 And I'm like, get me into, get me into Kursk. Thatk that that would help he's like actually i'm very good friends with the guy like i used to be in the same unit as the guy that's in charge of the kursk operation i'm like sure you are okay no like all right cool you'll get me into kursk he's like no really i'll set it up all right sure then it really did happen drunk cappy dude future future cappy hates cappy wakes up sees a text you're going to curse glowed up he's like fuck just i i can't imagine a worse text message to wake up to like you're going to the front line in Russia. It's a formation I did not want to show up for. Last night. So, keep going. I'm here for it.

Starting point is 01:47:34 Yeah. I said, I'll stand by it. I go, wow, get drunk and volunteer for the Russian front. What an idiot. I wanted to know what was really going on there. I wanted to know the truth.

Starting point is 01:47:58 And, uh, curiosity killed the guy. Drunk Happy's this. Your eye jog this. He gets super stupid to Asian. The truth comes out. one drink one shot okay go on all right so we meet in sumi which is like an hour I told you guys we got across the border and the artillery fire. So as we crossed the border, they're like, okay, this is the part where it's the worst part. You basically, the infiltration to the front. They're like, this is under enemy fire control.

Starting point is 01:48:39 So if you look at what the situation was like in kursk basically we're surrounded on three sides by the russians they're to the the west east north all around us and they just floor it and they turn on their jamming device and it's loud as fuck it's like ew thing that's i'm probably going to die early from radiation yeah exactly okay you hear it's like and i can feel my brain like a little bit get scrambled fuck i'm like picking up fm radio from the states and uh it is so they're just flooring it down this road you know where you see the border situation the border has like the it says russia on this big giant like soviet blocks that was probably made in the 80s and it's the most surreal experience crossing that border and we get into suja and the outgoing right away as soon as i get out of the uh vehicle i was not prepared for like the outgoing even

Starting point is 01:49:48 and it's just the explosions or she this you couldn't really see in the video but you feel the earth like move from the outgoing rounds from the 155 that they're sending out constantly because basically they're doing uh covering fire because they know that okay we have the one american journalist coming in correspondent coming in and so i get to speak to some russian civilians that basically anyone that's staying there at this point are people that they're like we've lived here forever and we're not going anywhere like this is my home that we built 30 years ago. If like the Ukrainians are occupying it, Russians are occupying it.

Starting point is 01:50:32 This is like a very poor part of the region. And I asked them like, why are you here? They get them in touch with their family. Like, here's your daughter. They're begging you to leave. And they're like, I'm not. I'm staying here. It's my home.

Starting point is 01:50:49 And that's basically the prevailing opinion of the Russians that I spoke to that were there. Like, the Ukrainians, they had a mission with me. Like, they wanted, you know, their propaganda purpose. They wanted to show the American audience that, like, we're not there killing and pillaging. That was their goal, right? And my goal was to show basically – I wanted to show people the logistics of large-scale war. I wanted to show people – And frontline.

Starting point is 01:51:16 Yeah. I spoke to the Bradley guys, the guys that run the Bradleys there, the guys that – strikers. That's the type of vehicle that I was in in iraq i got to see it in kursk the 80th uh air assault units that were like with the the bradley's the the abrams there got to meet all those guys that are fighting on the front in kursk and that was like my goal show that story ukrainians have the story that they wanted to show and the russians have their side of the story that they are trying to tell which is they're they're claiming that the ukrainians are coming in and just killing everyone it's like yeah of course wherever war goes people die people

Starting point is 01:51:55 are dying civilians are dying i saw ukrainians living out you know they're taking shelter in houses and the russians are bombing houses straight up just like airstrikes on houses and ukrainians are staying in them russians are also using houses it's not like a american military in iraq we're on bases right but if we were to fight a near-peer war would not be able able to do that. We would be in houses. And we would be hiding. Distributed. So. These are part of the reason why I went there.

Starting point is 01:52:33 I understand like. Insurgency warfare. I get how that war. The logistics of it. But I wanted to learn and understand. How does a near-peer battle. What's the logistics of it but i wanted to learn and understand how does how does a near-peer battle what's the logistics of that how is the sausage made of that and i got to see basically exactly how you have to fight if you have to worry about missiles hitting your your infiltration uh you

Starting point is 01:53:04 know you can't be on a base it's fucking wild because we lived out we did cobs so it was we lived with the populace that was that is a platoon or sorry a company is all that lives out in sector so that is in your day patrols you're interacting with the populace you're walking you have you're still from bala you're whatever eagle whoever your uh fob is you're you're not near them and you're interacting with the populace every day you're trying to win them over and figure out what's going on that is wild on a front line and then it's two countries and both have a different like hey can we bomb that no we can't and then their civilians are like hey i've lived here x y i will never move out from this area as a 68 whiskey you might find this

Starting point is 01:53:49 interesting the medic side of the story so different where you know you we were we feel lucky as like we can get them out within 30 minutes an hour there. They're looking at, you get wounded like six hours. Yeah. It's like 17 hours, like 24 hours that they got the tourniquet on and they can't get them out of there on both sides. So that's just like, I mean, it's, it's tourniquet letters. Like that's a deadly, you're losing a limb yeah isn't it exactly isn't it like 50 uh what is iraq afghanistan u.s soldier is five percent ten percent um death rate 90 90 survival rate once you get to a board base and operate it on or anything like that versus it's like 50 50 for it's because of the drives so the fpv drones make it so that they cannot the uh kazevac cannot get to get them bring

Starting point is 01:54:55 them out they're just like it's too risky we'll come get you it seems less risky and i'm not being a smart ass here and maybe you guys can let me know. Isn't attacking, like... That's what I do. If they had a Red Cross, you're good. If they have a Red Cross, like, even in World War II, like, our medics didn't carry weapons. Now, in the GWAT, they did because the Taliban are fucking... Sorry, I know we're going to have to blur that. I don't...

Starting point is 01:55:17 I hate the Taliban. God, I hate them. I think we have to blur that. Oh, I hate them so much. I'm almost positive medics carried weapons in World War II. World War II? They would carry medics, but as long as they had the cross, you were not allowed to attack that vehicle.

Starting point is 01:55:30 Or as doctors, it was aid stations. Double check. Maybe in the Asian... Are you talking about like war crime? Yeah, like saving Private Ryan. The medic didn't even carry a fucking weapon. Yeah, the war crime. He said she said.

Starting point is 01:55:43 Well, that's the whole thing. Yeah, it's near and dear, like at the end of the day like at this point in world geopolitics you know what's a war crime war yeah i mean like literally the whole conflict is a war crime because russia like yeah all of war is a war crime so like the notion of like people bitching about, that's a war crime. It's just people that have no grasp on reality at all. Yeah. Acting like they know nobody gives a shit.

Starting point is 01:56:13 Real quick. You watch the combat footage of the knife fight, bro. That's the only thing that I could not handle it, bro. That one. I couldn't fucking stomach. This is a. How long is that video? Two and a half minutes? Fifteen minutes?

Starting point is 01:56:28 The full one. This is two souls and it's only them. There's no one around. Gunfight, gunfight. Out of ammo. They go to knives and are fighting for fucking fifteen minutes, stabbing each other, biting each other, and it shows what war is

Starting point is 01:56:46 like it is fucking wild the worst part is you hear later on the russians interview the guy he's from like uh he's this he's from a tribe that's like really north uh you i'm gonna get it wrong he's he's he's like he's a con he's not like a bad guy is the part he's actually the reason he went into the russian military is because he wanted to stand in for his kid basically yep he's got a kid that's like 18 years old that was going to get conscripted so he's like i'm going to go in the place of my child that's the only reason he was there and you hear that and you're like i don't even know how to feel anymore because like you know i you hear that and you're like i don't even know how to feel anymore because like you know i'm full cars on the table like i'm very partial to ukraine in

Starting point is 01:57:29 the west and like feel awful for what's happening to them but at the same time you like you hear that and you're like oh my fuck i'd have done the same thing right like literally literally the only thing that's making you the bad guy right now is the geographical location you happen to live because every dad would have made that same fucking decision that was the one like i can watch a lot of combat footage i can watch a lot of people get blown up i can watch him get shot like even like some of the close range stuff like getting shot in the face doesn't bother me that knife fight like i had a come to jesus moment like i showed it off and i was just like sitting there for like 30 minutes by myself i I was like, that that's,

Starting point is 01:58:05 that's worse than anything I've ever seen. That is like, they talk, sorry. They talk to each other. He's like, you're the greatest fighter I've ever known. He's any other guys.

Starting point is 01:58:16 Like, you know, it's like, sorry, brother or something like that. They apologize. They talk to each other. He's like,

Starting point is 01:58:22 just please let me die. Like it, dude, it's insane. Biting each other. Dude's like, just please let me die. Like, dude, it's insane. They're biting each other. Dude, it is fucking war. Like, if I could show anyone war, it's like, here, you want to know what war is?

Starting point is 01:58:32 That is war when guns don't work because they were shooting at each other. Out of ammo. Now it is a knife fight. And now it is, I'm biting you. I'm stabbing you. I'm wrestling with you. I'm cutting your hand.

Starting point is 01:58:44 And this is what war looks like and then it's still the respect for each other too i'll say those drones are by far so there's like i'm sure you'll love talking you'll understand this very well there's like certain throughout history there's a couple of paradigm shifts in warfare right yeah like the machine gun black powder black powder yeah the tank maybe there's like five or six or whatever it is but uh I feel like drones are one of them it's one of those Paradigm shifts where it's like this has changed the equation in some like really fundamental way and the crazy thing about the drones is that you cannot hear them until it's already too late the that you'll hear that at about 50 meters a drone can move 50 meters in two seconds

Starting point is 01:59:37 so think of all those footage that you've seen probably on like instagram or wherever where like you see somebody get murked by a drone they hear it and then one two gone like it is unbelievable we we talked uh at the pentagon it was the one thing it's soldiers are going to have to start learning like three gun and then shotguns and i guarantee that is going to be part of the combat load is how do I take this out? Skeet shooters could do it really quick. Soldiers are not going to be fucking, Hey, here's,

Starting point is 02:00:12 I do this and I can operate on a 20 inch shotgun birdshot. Take it down. Most I do. It sucks to say I give 95% of soldiers. I pistol. You were going to suck of soldiers a pistol. You're going to suck cock with a pistol. Period.

Starting point is 02:00:29 It doesn't matter. You're not, if you haven't trained with a pistol, it is the hardest shooting thing. Yes, you can shoot an M4 AR. I hand you a pistol, 9mm, doesn't matter. You are not going to be good. And then being able to pull that out from concealed or even open holster and then transition to a target you cannot do it i can do a holster my faster shot 0.55 seconds from here to seven meters i can do a 0.55 draw to shoot on a beep and then from a actual concealed 0.9292.88 on average that took fucking autistic level of training to get

Starting point is 02:01:08 there now your average general soldier oh I dead yeah dead yeah I the last time I was here I was talking about like when I deployed to Iraq I was there during like it was kind of the gay part of the war it was like the occupation

Starting point is 02:01:23 it's like IEDs on the ground, it was like all that nonsense. We were not invading. It was not... We had such different experiences. Yeah, you got initial push. You got some... I'll say this,

Starting point is 02:01:40 your ROE was different than mine. But, so now I would say the war in Ukraine, that with Russia, like it is the gay part of the war. It is just drones. Like you cannot infiltrate to your position on the zero line in the trenches without a fuck ton of drones just with you. It is the part of the war where it's like just stalemate can't move can't even get to your position like big old terrifying when it comes to like the the gun thing and this is maybe a video you want to look into because i just found out about it uh recently in nevada

Starting point is 02:02:18 um benelli is great shotgun manufacturer us has used benelli for a long time they just designed a new shotgun specifically with a new shell for drones they just designed it so i it's in testing right now in nevada and i know i and what made me like kind of like look into that is you brought up an incredibly like i know you probably did it to be satirical on fucking twitter but it was a really important point he was like every single infantryman should have to shoot clay pigeons in basic training. There's something along those lines. They're starting to do that. Yeah, I was like, that makes perfect sense. They're starting to do shotguns against drones in boot camp.

Starting point is 02:02:54 Or not boot camp, but like, I don't know. I saw... We talked to the fucking Pentagon. Like, the dude that's in charge of all future weapon systems. We talked about that to him. Here is my launch video. It's going to be about the hunter-killer teams in the 101st Airborne. These guys on the ISV infantry squad vehicles, they're the dudes that are getting the first guys that are getting the FPV drones, like attack drones, organic to the squad.

Starting point is 02:03:27 101st Airborne are getting those.'s these 100 kilo teams and also uh you have a squad the whole the whole new the new doctrine is that you push out this recon team that does all your counter uav and also your offensive UAV. It's like a separate platoon. Nick, do you know what this is? It's called Warzone from Call of Duty because I just unlocked a drone. I'm doing that. And then I have a jammer. All I want, all I want

Starting point is 02:03:57 is for drone warfare to lead to the point where there's one dude in the squad and his job is to carry an M4 or whatever the fuck the army switches over to and then he just has a big ass backpack full of bullets and on top of the backpack

Starting point is 02:04:15 is a 9mm little Gatling gun this big I just want a miniature sea whiz on the dude 22 22 this big i just want to i want a miniature sea whiz on the day 22 would that be for drone defense i i tell you right now drone defense is big in the air defense world so like we have two counter uas schools but like every single day how can we stop them how can we stop 100 a 22 mini gun that just you walk a dude

Starting point is 02:04:46 joe schmoe private joe he has to carry the the shit backpack it is what ships uh what's the mini guns the ships use uh the sea wiz yeah yeah yeah that's what i'm saying like or they have the like they've been working on the freaking robotic mule basically is what it amounts to but like imagine if you just got to that point or even a normal mule like bring a fucking donkey with you and strap a little sea whiz to its back i will say that was tried like i went to the artillery museum that was a thing they put a small artillery gun on back of a mule uh they tested it once they fired it the mule immediately panicked like injured the person in charge of it and took off running so i mean we may need to may need to like remanufacture i feel like there's a difference between artillery and

Starting point is 02:05:37 nine mil minigun i think a 22 minigun yeah the problem with that is it's rimfire. Rimfire ammo is kind of shit for full auto, so I wouldn't trust it. But any smaller caliber. What's a FN 5.7 would be good for it. Dude, that. And then it's just automatic. It does like a C-Wiz. Yep. Closing weapon system, C-Wiz.

Starting point is 02:06:00 And then the private Mosquito Wings has to carry that shit weapon system but you're safe it's all done so they're watching right now the boy best job i ever had write that shit down i'm gonna email bo we're gonna we're gonna move on past that because i have too many ndas with my name on them to really go into too far like kinetic systems is not really a big thing electronic systems my unit in the national guard and so 133rd uh out of the 34th infantry division came up with the iron man backpack because that was like our unit's nickname was the iron man and they we came up with the iron man backpack i wasn't in yet it was a group that was the iron man and they we came up with the iron man backpack i wasn't in

Starting point is 02:06:45 yet it was a group that was the iron man back iron man backpack when they did it they took the you know what it is yeah it's like a thing it's developed now the dudes that invented it got paid out for inventing it and uh they took the what's the fucking hard shell plastic thing for your back off a rucksack the frame oh yeah they took a rucksack? The frame? Oh, yeah. They took a rucksack frame basically and took two.50 cal ammo cans and mounted it up by the shoulders and ran the helicopter belt feeder. And they just filled it with 5.56 or.308, whatever gun they had. And they ran it from the backpack straight into the side of the.240. And that's what their.240 gunner had had and they like basically macgyvered them and all the all the 133rd guys in i think they were in iraq when

Starting point is 02:07:32 they did it might have been afghanistan they were in either one but they invented and like they had multiple dudes running around with this 240 and just a-fed 240 with a helicopter strap coming off their rucksack, and that's what they were carrying in battle in the army. He's like, give those guys a check. We're taking it. Real quick, before... Miniguns, you know, a movie stuff. The backpack thing?

Starting point is 02:07:59 Miniguns, they shoot blanks in those movies to control a minigun. I have video of somebody shooting a minigun with 7.62. Blanks. I have videos of me mag dumping a minigun. 100 rounds, 120 rounds a second. 75 rounds a second, 3,000 rounds a minute, give or take.

Starting point is 02:08:21 There you go. Autism. Yeah. Now, the difference when you actually put real loads, not blanks. The recoil is much different. Bro, watching. We have it on video. It's like we test if we did a burp with a human holding it and like braced.

Starting point is 02:08:38 Boom. Bigger guy. Goes like this. And we have big, big, big hitting right in front of his foot and then he's like a big dude yeah and it was instantaneous had to let go of that fucking trigger we're like oh oh my god because i remember we were all filming it and then i looked over at people on the right side i was like actually you all get over here real quick and they're like wow i was like trust me it just whipped right instantaneously and you're talking about 0.2 seconds it is one two three at the ground

Starting point is 02:09:14 kicking to the right terrifying 240 way more manageable i bet nick could do it i bet they have it all over dvids yeah don't be a bitch beautiful thing you could do it they have it all over dvids yeah don't be a bitch beautiful thing you could do it they have the dvids uh video i might have it on my dli now that's fucking gangster they use still the minigun like platform though yeah and they just fed a 240 just fed it straight into the 240 from i mean think about it you don't have to carry a 50 round starter belt if it's all linked together the 50 rounds this is literally my unit so the red bulls like the dude's got the red on his helmet yes yep that's the one here's the the actual one like from my unit

Starting point is 02:09:59 step one i've never seen this fucking step one if you're on gun team rip a belt but that's actually not bad at all that's that's actually awesome i went to a usa you know like the big it's like the convention for defense yeah so they tried copying that basically a bunch of defense companies after that showed up at a usa with belt fed 240s link link fed china like let me get that contract i think the futures i really liked for the um next generation weapon i really liked the i think it was uh general dynamics it came out with the plastic cased ammunition i was i thought that was genius i thought the guns were ugly as fuck but the idea of plastic case light ammunition man like you still just injection mold a thousand rounds at once that

Starting point is 02:10:51 was my biggest complaint being on gun team is how heavy i got to rammo is i got to go and test the fire that weapon first of all their one has like a recoil mitigation so you barely feel the fact that it feels like a full 762 round basically you shoot it you could pick up those rounds and you know when you pick up hot brass yeah hot those were cold wasn't that wasn't that part of the issue though is they had they had an issue dissipating heat because a lot of the heat from the gun when it fired was carried out of the gun in the brass so i have to assume based on the fact that they didn't win the contract and that sig did i just have to do the reverse math it's got to be some issue with that right like i have to assume that after they fired it uh x amount of

Starting point is 02:11:40 times that the barrels wore out faster or something. Plastic is melting in there or something like, I don't know. It was probably a similar issue that the Abrams has. So the, the Abrams shell, right? The one 20 that we use. Oh yeah.

Starting point is 02:11:54 You showed me that before. I always forget. Yeah. So the Abrams shell itself, all that is actually metal is the bottom of it. It has a stick in the middle. It's called the aft cap for the one 20. The rest of it is literally hardened cardboard that burns up in the tube the downside of that is if you're

Starting point is 02:12:10 slinging rounds all day your round can expand in the chamber and you can't extract that round for any such reason most of the time they tell you just kick it into the breach as hard as you possibly can and shoot it anyways but i assume that something with heat was probably along the same route like area i don't know if they could figure out a way to make the plastic absorb some of that heat though and just have the lighter ammunition like even just from like the war manufacturing aspect of like and being able to injection mold a bajillion cases for ammo. I would say that like, if you like for plastic, especially if you get a hot gun,

Starting point is 02:12:49 probably really increase their rate of runaway gun. I would shoot in the dark and say that might've had something to do. I don't know what the issue was or if there was, if I, if I had to take a shot in the dark, I would say at the very least, like you're the military, you're switching weapons.

Starting point is 02:13:04 You're going to want to go with the least amount of uncertainty and switching to a polymer case would be very, very different. Like that's. Are we still doing the six, eight fury thing? Cause I hate that round. That's what they're doing. So they're not just, it is, you look at the – what do you call it? Like the documents coming out of the – the US military has to release certain like budget documents. And we know that 2025, they're spending a boatload of money on the switch.

Starting point is 02:13:39 I hate that ammunition. I don't know. The thing that's weird to me is it's a lot more recoil. It's – so it's a really over pressured round and if you look at the actual so like they make six eight fury that can fire in this gun that's like normal but the whole point of it was to be able to penetrate uh body armor for near peer and to get the effect they want against body armor they have to have the the real ammunition that's like not for like training and shooting and to have the the real ammunition that's like not for

Starting point is 02:14:05 like training and shooting and targets and and the real ammunition it's like brass and then there's like a steel base and then there's the um the primer and they had to have that steel base because this round is so over pressured that it would fuck up the primer and it would fuck up the ejection and everything so it's like brass steel primer round and the round is like super over pressured and then for the you know like green tip has a steel pin in it yeah it would punch it's a tungsten pin and that's what's punching through the armor but the problem is from like the war logistics side like if world war three breaks out and we got to produce a bajillion rounds of ammunition guess where we get tungsten from russia china oh fair enough who's allied with russia it's just like you're building the whole battle plan off being able to get this rare metal that we can only get from the people that we would most likely be fighting in a near-peer engagement it just seems

Starting point is 02:15:02 fucking insane to me and then also you look at at the Russian forces going into the fight and you're like, they're, they don't all have body armor all the time. And how much of a, how much of a factor is their body armor? And the words of Ron white, does he have body armor on his head?

Starting point is 02:15:21 Yeah. Dude. No. So now... Dude, shout out to Kevin. Thank you. The 8.6 subsonic AP rounds are now a thing. Subsonic AP rounds.

Starting point is 02:15:34 Subsonic... This punches through level 4 armor like it's fucking nothing. Subsonic. So you do not hear it. So their argument, if I were to make... If I were a steel man yeah their case please okay so their argument is that you've seen the fire control system on it that uh i also don't trust computer sure like let's let's say best case scenario

Starting point is 02:15:56 basically they're arguing like okay we've got these drones that will send up and we will spot the enemy at 600 meters and we're going to engage them before they can engage us and the idea that they're arguing is like with that fire control system someone like me who's i'm not a great shot you i'll be able to hit someone seven eight hundred meters away whereas i couldn't before and that's like the whole doctrine behind it right is that like we're not doing the room clearing anymore we're hitting them out further hate that what do you hate about i just i hate that like why don't we just bring back like an actual squad fighting element like the loadout is insane it like, we got one dude with a machine gun,

Starting point is 02:16:49 one dude that helps the guy carry the ship for the machine gun with an M4. We've got a guy with an M4 and a grenade launcher. We've got three more guys with M4s and one of them's a medic. Like, why don't you just have machine gun guys, grenade guy, designated marksman with an actual gun. And he's talented and can reach out to that distance in those situations instead of trying to like cookie cutter to make every mother or super soldier

Starting point is 02:17:11 that's capable of engaging 700 fucking yards away that's the that is the very good counter so would you agree that that that um that m249 replacement is pretty dope though yeah the yeah i think i think everyone can kind of agree that like much to outdo the 249 right we should have been rocking the stoner 63 for the past 40 years i don't know what we're doing with the saw absolutely yeah like i think that so that's the weird thing about military procurement was that it was part and partial in that okay if we're going to replace the ms so what i think will actually end up happening is that exactly what you were saying which is like they'll give the xm7 to squad designated marksman and then the m4 will still be around a bunch and then you'll see the m249 cla to buy maybe even the m240 gets replaced by that no 240 got replaced by the

Starting point is 02:18:06 uh 338 norma which if you want a terrifying machine gun the 338 basically can replace the 50 in some instances yeah and you can walk and shoot it with so i got to test fire that yeah i got to test fire that and shooting it it feels like shooting the 240 the recoil mitigation is a it's it feels like you're being uh gas lit by the recoil you're like did i just shoot you did i i guess i did it's like that's 86 blackout that is subsonic you can we can... That's a chode of a 400 grain bullet. Subsonic will do AP rounds too.

Starting point is 02:18:50 The AP subsonic round went through four plates of AR500. And more fucking terrifying. You can... I have mag dumped 25 rounds at 50 yards all hit steel plate full auto there's zero recoil you know i'm glad q is like on america's side i really am

Starting point is 02:19:13 somebody says just the tip with this oh dude oh you want to see what they do oh dude and what they do is we're talking guns i'm not very good at guns. I'm a missile guy. The front one just fucks shit up. I like it. It's just a missile at the front. That is absolutely terrifying.

Starting point is 02:19:35 Fucking death flower. Yeah. And then when you watch it... That's one of those... No, no. Even more terrifying is... It was my bedside. Now I have like it is it was my bedside again now i have a 300 and that is my bedside because nick was like nick did the test of what it goes

Starting point is 02:19:50 through subsonic everything every it goes through everything for hunting or anything subsonic for the longest time you would never hunt with subsonic because it's inhumane because it's traveling under this yeah like the sound barrier it's not, it's not going to kill. It could maim or injure instead of kill. That thing though, Nick was like, well, we're going to do a video. Nick, what stopped it? Four or five pound gummy bears and a slab of ballistics gel,

Starting point is 02:20:20 which sounds stupid. Gummy bears are OP. You're not going to believe me me i have all the videos up on pepper box guess how do you know this no okay guess how many five pound gummy bears it takes to stop a 12 gauge at point blank five pound five pound like big big five pound three cappy one one and slug or are we talking doesn't matter birdshot point blank i mean that's still i'd expect at least two it catches the wad and everything fuck nine mil fmj yes point blank uh two five five six fmj five five six has got to be at least three no shit gummy bears five

Starting point is 02:21:04 pound gummy we've been testing the ballistics of five pound gummy bears and they are bulletproof uh one five pound gummy bear stops a 12 gauge at point blank one stops a nine mil fmj full five seven blank uh so i can stop wearing body armor you just put gummy bears on yeah it's edible body armor it's delicious so to give you that idea that's how like resistant um the other one we did was we did uh four gummy bears with a three feet of ballistics gel behind it 308 point blank full metal jacket we caught it in the ballistics gel after it went through four gummy bears and that's what it took to catch eight six which this is what the eight six does when it hits a gummy bear uh anything apparently so and the other thing is eight six the twist rate on

Starting point is 02:21:52 the barrel is one to three instead of like one to eight or one to ten so it's spinning like crazy so you're literally just hucking blenders at people it is uh the physics of it we were trying to catch this and before we switched over to gummy bears we took a support beam from a barn four inch thick hardwood support beam i thought i missed because i thought my i was so close i thought my acog was off and i thought it because i hit steel behind it because we had steel targets up behind like 40 yards back i thought i shot over and hit one of the steel targets went dead center went through the beam through three blocks of ballistics gel 40 yards down hit the steel target it sounded like a fucking car wreck it's the only reason i actually changed

Starting point is 02:22:42 it's still on my bedside but i have now like 300 back at my bedside because i was like huh maybe not the bedside because yeah i was like holy shit that's just gonna keep going you and your cover yeah i was like what the fuck dude that is nuts and it is wild well Mrs. Linecrosser, I'm buying one of those. I love my 45-70. I love it. I'm a lever gun guy. Like, do you know Henry put out like a magazine fed 5.56 lever action?

Starting point is 02:23:13 It's stupid. There's no reason to own one, but I want one. I like lever guns. This has been a really good episode. Once Nick gets back, we'll go to the after show. We'll do like a 10-minute after show. Oh, I three i gotta do the i gotta do the story well can we save it for the after show if you want to yeah i would love that okay because we're dude this one went two hours and 20 minutes i was surprised i looked down no no chris like you had us all captivated

Starting point is 02:23:40 bro dude you like hooked up yeah i looked down i was like oh that's great that is like that's the thing i wasn't like just trying to butt in to try and like spice things up i feel bad about that story i feel like i'm just like i'm just going on and on no dude i was like please do not stop that is the shit where you're just cap it is captivating and it's so relatable like from my perspective and then you see everyone else perspective it's just it's a different type of warfare that i've never experienced like i mean hell you've never experienced i'll tell you guys sometime about the drone mission too which is the one that was actually i was way more scared on that one i'll tell you some if you guys want to hear about it

Starting point is 02:24:17 sometime that's like the maybe a brief on the after show we'll see how long it is a drone warfare is the most terrifying i am so glad we didn't have to deal with that in g watt i'm so answer your question i don't think this is like a paradigm shift on par with like gunpowder the tag the drones yeah why do you say that oh it's just so like my brain like goes to like jujitsu. Oh, my fucking God. Shut up, Rich. Who asked you? Listen. Nick falls back.

Starting point is 02:24:53 If you lay on your back. No, because I tend to, I feel like I agree with you that it won't necessarily, in the end, when it comes to America be that way. Yeah. I mean, like in MMA or whatever, there's always like some hot new technique that becomes meta for a short period of time and nobody can figure it out. And then the second somebody figures out the counter and everybody learns that – it's just – it's always – because it's one move.

Starting point is 02:25:20 It's the same play. It's not like a dynamic thing. It's once you figure out how to counter it it's just countered and you move on so like once i it's either gonna be like jamming technology or like miniature sea whiz or whatever it's gonna get to the point where it's just like this isn't a world shifting event it's literally like once we know the counter it's just another box we have to check to make sure that's not gonna happen so it's funny you say this is exactly how i feel about it i feel like what we're witnessing it's it's always the the sword versus

Starting point is 02:25:50 the shield right and when there's a new sword whatever that is like that has the uh advantage for whatever time it is but then what you're talking about like once the shield catches up it's there yeah and i i would argue the same thing you're saying is that like when i'm so for instance if america was in this fight i think it'd be very very different like i don't think we're giving ukraine the ew uh tech that we have because if it falls into russian hands like no good yeah i agree that like we are counter uas and like uh what do you call it um you know counter uh close air support would be would perform very differently than ukraine's just because the sheer number of assets what we're seeing right now everyone's like oh it's like

Starting point is 02:26:40 all about the fpv you know i think if amer was in this fight, it would not be a trench warfare. Trench warfare happens when there's like a stalemate. So I agree with you. Yeah, I think, you know, is it a paradigm shift for this fight and these two adversaries? Like, okay, maybe. But yeah, like we'd have to see what is it really in a, um, yeah. Like how, how would America's systems perform against this?

Starting point is 02:27:07 Because first of all, Ukraine doesn't have air power like that. So would it, it would even devolve to like close range FPV strikes. We don't, we don't know. Right. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:27:17 Yeah. God, I've Nick close us out. We'll go to that show. Finish this off. This is, I love this episode. Thank you for coming to the Unsubscribe podcast.
