Gentlemen, we meet again.
Why is this happening?
It gives me so much anxiety.
Like, how are you this fucking stupid?
That's how the fucking game works.
The hurry shit.
People have been falling for the Norwegian print scam forever, like Nigerian.
Yeah, whatever.
There's just Alexander Scars Guard.
It's scamming your grandfather out of money.
Day to Eli.
He's racially ambiguous.
Brandon.
His hair is fucking fabulous.
Don't I?
Dog, joke disposition, and there's a fat electrician.
We'll come to unsubscribe.
Okay, everyone ready?
Yep.
The gang gets cracked.
Three, two, one.
I've seen that film.
Mm.
The gang cracking.
That one's so good.
Yeah.
That one's so good.
Corn tub.
Hi, everyone.
Welcome to the unsubscribe podcast.
I'm joined today by Eli Double Tap.
Nick is in town.
Brandon Herrera, myself, Donald Operator.
Thank you so much for being here.
Who's in town?
Yeah.
Who's in Paris?
That's me.
Now hopefully, now that you've chopped all your hair off, hopefully people will stop confusing us.
No, it'll still happen.
I got confused for you three times in Japan.
Brandon, you're talking a lot this episode.
Yeah, I know.
Cody, can you start the episode?
Hi, everyone.
They think we all look alike?
I still like Matt's dad confusing you both.
That's the peak of confusion.
Matt's dad, a man who has.
met both of us several times.
Yeah, Demolition Ranch's father came up to us and we were at lunch a couple weeks ago and
he came out to me.
He was like, hey, congrats on your race.
Yeah.
For context, I am sitting a foot to Cody's right.
He said directly next to me.
Connor and we were talking about that.
We don't know how that fucking happens.
I'd never look at you both and be like, yep, brothers.
Mexican and a white dude.
He's going to say, there's words I can say that he can't.
That's true.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, he can.
He can.
Yeah, yeah.
I've got a pass now.
Wait, what, how?
sexually transmitted
yeah sexually transmitted racism for my
Mexican oh yeah yeah
you can say it too go for it
I don't know I sound right off I think I'm only allowed to say
half of it why huh Hannah's adopted
she's like a coconut
but she's like hella looking
yeah she's white on the inside though
yeah that's because of you
well
welcome to the podcast
hey what's up bitches
like fucking this one
one tastes really good.
Actually, it's the second weekend.
This is really,
I,
I just realized that might be
my first time trying it
and it tastes really good.
Yeah.
Lemonade and tea.
It tastes like an Arizona iced tea.
It tastes like an,
bleep out me saying that though.
Like, never let me say those words
because they will sue the fuck out of us.
Really?
They went after liquid death
for armless Palmer, right?
Yeah, that was part of the joke.
Have you heard that?
No.
Yeah, they had a new flavor
that was like a
flavor and they called it armless palmer and they got sent to cease and desist by the
Arnold Palmer Foundation or whatever because they weren't authorized to use it.
So they said fuck it fine and renamed that flavor dead billionaire, which is great.
It shows violence.
I told you what I wanted to name it, right?
We had all those good names.
I had a Pomerator.
It's like a play on Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Terminator, you know.
The palminator.
They said that even then that they would probably go after us legally.
Just fucking crazy.
We can't use any of the cool names.
I'm not going to lie.
That's kind of lame.
Just being like,
I'm the first person to ever mix lemonade and tea together.
I own it forever.
It's like Joe Rogan going after all podcasts because he started the first podcast.
Actually, I'm the white guy with tattoos.
It talks about bullshit on the internet.
You're going to have to have a discussion about this.
Cody's back from Japan.
you have any great questions to ask him about his country because we're going there all together next year.
No, we're not.
See, I said, I don't have a passport and you can't make me get one.
We're going to make them get a passport.
I actually have some connections.
Yeah, we got some powerful connections.
We can make this happen now.
Nick is going to enlisted, by the way.
We got you a military ID.
You're stationed in Japan.
I didn't even do anything.
Guess you just got recalled.
No, if I was going to go out of country, it would be Japan, though.
That would be, you know, we've already set a tone.
They know better.
I was just going to say, like, not even for meme reasons, just because I'd legitimately
like to go see it.
Like Hiroshima or Nagasaki.
Which side note, America, that's so far away from Tokyo.
That's the problem.
I didn't realize.
That's a journey to go there.
I don't even drive to Dallas anymore.
Like, I fly, but it's like six hours.
It's a six hour in the bullet trade.
Yeah.
it's a good good
Japan's really like long
yeah
it's a fucking
just a
boomerang
it's a long as boomerang
but I mean
Cody had nothing
but he wanted
he hated coming back
no it was it was fucking rad
man even on the bullet train so
they'll just bring in beers and liquor
and all the like food and everything
it's super cool and you can turn the
chairs either which way you want to face
and like everyone's just super nice
you want to tip
anyone. Food's incredible.
Quality's incredible. You guys are real
tall. What's the like
exchange rate like for money?
I think we're, um,
I think we're, we're
more the US dollar. Oh, it's a lot more.
Yeah. I think it's almost double.
Yeah. In to dollar.
63 cents for a yen dollar. So you had like a lot
more purchasing power. No, not
63 cents. Oh my God. No.
Holy shit. Yeah. Never mind. Yeah. Yeah.
It's point. It's 6.3.
Yeah. So like a thousand.
Yeah, a thousand yen was like a dollar.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
We're doing okay over there.
Yeah.
And houses are cheap.
We're just looking at one that looks very American.
Massive, 177 grand.
Iowa stuff.
With no mountains.
This had a mountain background.
Yeah, I did.
I did learn, though, if you can find a house that someone died in,
then the house is like half price because the Japanese people are really scared of ghosts.
Which makes me wonder, maybe Japanese ghosts are real.
If it affects the real estate price, you got to wonder.
Eli, do the, uh-uh.
Just hear that coming down the halls at night.
Holy shit.
Holy shit.
The fetter rectuation is here.
You got to do the, the, the, ooh, in an Asian voice.
They boo.
They boo differently.
Buhr
Sounded Japanese
Oh God
Getting haunted by a ghost
I can't understand
He's like trying to warn me of danger
I'm like ah shut up
This is the ghost figure
But slits
Well it's like the guy
Who's now that
The acting
The guy
What is Hongkow I think
His
Yeah you don't think you can say that
What is his
I think it's his name.
It's C-A-O.
Honkow?
Cow.
Yeah, C-A-O, I think.
Yeah, Hongkow.
He's the new acting director of the, or acting secretary of the Navy, I think.
His whole thing that they were trying to like dig back in his history and he made some
joke on a podcast or on a new show.
That sounds familiar.
But he's a very clearly Asian man.
He's like, yeah, they're calling me a white supremacist and this.
this, this is like, I mean, I mean, I couldn't be a white supremacist because they'd need to
custom cut a clanhood with slits in it or something like that.
I can love that shit.
Oh my God, Nick, you made the Reddit page because what did I do?
When we were super shitwrecked and you were talking about like one of the big nukes,
the guy that reacts, the nuclear engineer that will react to videos.
Okay, yeah.
He watched one of them.
And the comments, though, on that is,
yo, that was like a four-hour podcast
and they were shit wrecked.
It was drunk history.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
All the comments of you defending.
Because they're like,
what the fuck?
This guy's just spitting nonsense.
He's lying.
What a piece of shit.
Reply.
Homie was like 30 beers in at this point.
He's doing an actually pretty decent job of holding the story together.
Which one was it?
The submarine nuke.
Which one was the big one?
It was like the nukes that we lost or something?
something or like what?
It was a one that was built that hadn't been deployed yet.
It was like 200 megatons or something like.
You're talking like the Sarrbomba like the Russian one?
No, no, no.
I have no idea.
I don't know.
That's my least favorite thing about shorts is like I see so many shorts where it's like,
oh, no wonder some people hate me.
It's like here's a 30 seconds of me shit wrecked obliterated,
ranting with my friends about some random bullshit.
And they're like, this guy doesn't know anything.
Well, my problem with those shorts too is,
A, they just steal our shit and get the views.
But B, they cut out all of like your hedging on it.
You're like, I don't know.
I think I read somewhere where they said, and they'll just cut straight to like you saying it as
definitive information.
Colleen Ward did a video on one of the shorts taken out of context about me.
Which one was that again?
I was on a podcast and I was like, I said, I told a story about how like I hate going to
shoot with somebody for the first time because I've had it happen.
multiple times where somebody's like, hey, do you want to go shoot at the range?
And I'm like, yes.
And it turns out that their version of going to the range is like the very hunter version
where they want to sit up in a supported position on a chair and they want to shoot 12 bullets
in an hour very accurately, which isn't what I'm into and not what I hear when you say,
do you want to go to the range.
I want to go shoot 600 rounds of ammunition.
Didn't he title it something like.
The fat electrician hates hunters.
Oh, he said like hunters shouldn't be allowed to go to the range.
the range or something like that. I was like, wait a
say any of that. I was just like
there's a miscommunication in let's
go to the range between different types of shooters.
That was all I was saying. What the
fuck go on? You should still
come on the podcast. We'd love to have you.
He's like, he's like a friend of ours.
No, I know. He like, he was cool about the whole thing.
He's like, that's not what the fat electrician's saying.
But, unless you're a bunch of.
Though he doesn't end with that.
Yeah. I mean, like, cool, thanks. Because the title is very
different. Like, fat electrician says
hunters shouldn't have guns.
No, that's all it came out of.
The clickmate title is aggressive.
Sometimes I have that conversation with DeLance,
because we'll go back and forth on like title thumbnail of a video or something like that.
And he'll propose a title.
I'm like, mm,
I really,
I know that's going to get a lot of views,
but we can't use it because it's objectively wrong.
Yeah.
And it's the N word.
I need to find this.
Those were my titles.
I know.
I don't think Brandon heard it.
No,
I didn't.
What you said?
I said,
and it's the N word.
Oh, no.
That turns out.
You're just like,
It would get a lot of views from other sources.
I feel like it's an instant age restriction on YouTube.
Unless you're Colleon.
I think you can get away with it then.
I don't think you can't.
Yeah.
There's a difference.
Yeah, he can.
I can't for some reason.
Tried it.
You're like, I keep A-B testing it.
It never works out.
Cody's like a real good time.
Now there was just the N-word.
I never picked it.
But why is this happening?
And that,
he's like got his goggles on, like mixing test tubes.
Like, I just can't figure it out.
You should. I was, I was test that.
12 minutes in, we're already rough.
I was trending on Twitter two days ago for shitting on communists again.
And all they did was prove my point.
I just every, this guy's never even read Carl Marx.
And I saw that.
First of all, yes, I have.
B, the notion that you have to read 3,000.
pages of bullshit to acknowledge that it's bullshit is retarded and I believe my analogy was if I write a
3,000 page essay on my slamming your dick in a car door cures cancer. You don't have to read it before you
call me a f*** retard. My favorite was the top comment. It was like real car door dick slamming
has never been tried. I'm serious. If I could have like just a shitty superpower, my superpower would be
to be able to post my videos
and then go back in time 24 hours
just so I can steal the funniest jokes
from the comment section
because it's always funnier than me.
Some of y'all motherfuckers are really funny.
Most of you aren't,
but some of you are.
IG comments is probably one of my favorite places.
Oh, dude.
There's certain times I could just see
I'm like something feel goods on my feed
and I'm like, I know why this was presented to me.
Opens the comments.
I look at my, mm, look down, 8,000.
there's only 200 likes that's wild it's the whole like I sprained my ankle running to the
comments I was just telling Cody before you guys got here I was like I think my favorite
feature of Instagram at this point is whenever I see the most heinous reel of my life
and then I see that Cody's already liked it I just feel like I'm following in your footsteps
every time I go on Instagram it's like a detective I will do that fucking I'll get hi Eli like I've
comment on one of the f*** up what?
And then Cody's like, hi, Eli.
They'll do the same thing.
Gentlemen, we meet again.
Sir?
Sir.
I just rage bait on there at night.
That's been my pastime lately.
Vigorously rage baiting.
Oh, yeah.
I don't even believe in the things I'm saying.
It's just funny.
Literally, Cody throwing a grenade in a room.
And then I'll mute the conversation.
station and never go back again.
I got one of the top comments, and I still get
notifications from it, one of the top comments on like
a Netflix clip, because it was from the roast
of Kevin Hart, and it was the one Chelsea
handler when she made that joke about like, oh, now
that your favorite presidents made the draft
mandatory, I hope you go to
Iran or whatever. And my
comment was just, wait, did
she not know that the draft has been
mandatory since like 1948?
Yeah, forever.
And it just, oh my God,
angry, angry lefties in the
comments. I'm like, wait, all I was just a question. I'm like, wait, did she not know that the draft
was mandatory already? Like when you turn 18 as a dude, you have to. Selective service, yeah.
Like, there have been like a couple years stints where we didn't have it, but it was,
it's been pretty consistent for the last, like. Have we ever stopped it? We stopped it,
I think, I think Carter re-upped it. It was out. We stopped it briefly for like five years after
Vietnam, I think. Oh, no shit. I didn't know that. I thought it was still mandatory. I know
with females are the only ones that don't have to do, right? Still.
Yep, that's the one.
It's females.
Is it?
Yeah, that's the hiccup is combat arms.
If they want to be in that space, then they do need to do mandatory.
So is just a female from L.A.
She's just so disconnected.
She didn't know the draft was mandatory.
Yeah, that tracks.
Today's video is in the partnership with Monscape.
The men's grooming brand who is trusted by 13 million men worldwide.
Father's Day is around the corner.
And you know what that means the same problem we all run into.
Which razor will my dad use to shave his balls best?
Can you even imagine telling my 70-year-old dad's like, hey, dad.
So makes shaving your nuts way easier, pops.
But my dad does have a beard here, and he needs to keep it trim.
And because of that, the new Beardhedger Plus is a solid upgrade without
breaking the bank. Now a lot of you
probably used tremors in the past and
they're clunkers. We don't want
no clunkers around here.
14 different link settings, which
covers one millimeter of stubble
all the way up to 20.
So whether your dad's a clean
tight guy or a
my dad, bearded biker, Mexican
Asian dude, this
is the trimmer for them.
On a real side note, I do use
these and any manscape
product for
majority of what I do
when it comes to cleaning up
or cleaning down.
They work really good. They have amazing
battery life. You can beat them up
and they continue to work.
Also they're waterproof so you can shave
in the sink or, you know,
the shower. It's Father's Day.
Skip the boring stuff and get them
something who'll actually use
and love. Head over to manscape.com
and use code unsubbed to say 15% off.
Plus free shipping. That's 15%
off your entire order plus free shipping with code unsub at checkout. And if you need it today,
you can find Manscape at a store near you. Nick, you just got back from the what? You were with
Mr. Codes. Oh, Mr. Codes. I've been. I've been everywhere in the past two weeks. You're with Mr.
Zach just in a veteran. I was with Zach and Iowa doing underwhelming. I was in Savannah, Georgia
over in Paris Island with Ethan and Phil.
and then we flew to El Paso so we could drive to New Mexico.
Awful state, by the way.
Why, why?
Did you do that?
There was like some planes.
Well, no, there was planes that I wanted to look at in El Paso.
But Ethan's like, oh, it's close enough to where I live in New Mexico.
We're just stay at my house and drive there.
Okay.
So I got to go to New Mexico, stay at Ethan's house, then drive back to El Paso.
Yay.
Yeah, it was a good time.
It's not that close.
We did get to see a, it's a.
It's like an hour from Ethan's house, surprisingly.
It's not horrible.
Yeah.
But no, we got, there's like a super cool museum in El Paso.
I think we would text you about it.
It's called War Eagles.
Yeah.
It's like, every time I go to a museum, it's very, I'll say like professional, I guess.
Not that these guys weren't professional, but it's very like the stuffy clinical professional.
That's like, oh, and whatever, some dude talking about stuff.
They're like, yeah, you want to sit in it?
Yeah.
So I got to sit.
a P-51 Mustang, got to sit in a P-38 Lightning, got to sit inside Rolls-Royce car, pretty much
anything I wanted to sit in and dick around in. They let me. It was awesome. So speaking of
expensive-ass-cars. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. Speaking of planes in El Paso, like military planes,
there is, so a lot of El Paso is in my district. So my district goes from like San Antonio
all the way out to El Paso and like all the border in between. Last time I was there, for one,
I went to the original like the Roses Cantina, like from the song El Paso, which is just kind of
fucking cool. Like, you got to do a pilgrimage. Like, they've got like a tribute, like a shrine to
Marty Robbins there. But while I was there in the parking lot, there was a truck. Big iron on his hip.
Yeah. Like out in the West Texas town of O Paso. Beautiful song. Yeah. Never on.
Eli, renowned for his music knowledge. Yeah. All right. One day when it gets picked up as an anime intro,
you'll learn it. I'll say real quick, we haven't talked about this in a while. Eli doesn't listen to
music. He just listens to anime intros in his car.
Widen's the same way he hates music and I love it. Oh, turn that off, Daddy.
My cool, dog.
That apple dropped directly to the ground.
But there was a truck outside that had a rap on it. Oh, oh, God.
There was a rap on it that advertised. There's somebody there that owns like a B-29, I think.
I might be misremembering, but I think it's like a B-29.
I think that was parked at this museum.
Because apparently it still functions.
Like they fly it.
Yeah.
Which is pretty sure it was at that museum.
No shit.
Yeah.
Because I don't know if they do like charity rides or something like that, but they do shit like that and they were advertising it.
I always wanted to see how expensive it would be to take the gang up in a B-29.
I could probably make that happen.
I think we should do it.
Yeah, we could probably make that happen.
But like the cool part about this museum is they had like all these World War II planes, all these Cold War airplanes.
they said it was like all but like one of them flew to El Paso to become a museum piece
from all over the world.
Yeah, they like flew all of them there and parked them.
And they're like, yeah, technically we could get any of these up and going again if we wanted to.
He said the main problem is being able to get a pilot that's licensed and all the shit
you have to be licensed in to fly that type of plane because it's so different than a jet.
So you have to be like prop driven.
this and this and this and this. He's like, and most people that do it, there's no money in it.
So it's just commercial pilots that have to maintain eight additional licenses and log all
these flight hours just to be able to do it. He's like, we can't get people to, that have that
much time because they're all just dudes that work for airlines for a living. So you know, like the guys
that are into flying like that, a lot of them think that's coolish. You know, there's a lot of people
that have the licenses just because they want to be able to do it. I wonder how many hours they have
to do because that was the one thing for skydiving, which was wild. You have to.
to do like 25 jumps.
You have to maintain like a jump every six months or three months.
I was like, oh shit.
Okay, that's wild.
I don't know what the maintenance is on it, but static line was only five jumps.
But did you have any?
So you could go do it now?
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Yeah, free fall was like you have to do it every six months.
That's what I was saying.
I don't know the maintenance.
They didn't imply that there was anything crazy on that.
But yeah, no, I just had to get my logbook and like did the five jumps over the course
of like, it was over like a day and a half.
I felt like I got hit by a fucking truck.
You did.
Yeah.
Falling at like 50 miles an hour.
I only had one bad landing.
That was the way.
I think it was like my third jump and I got overly cocky and I hit the ground way too fast and PLF very poorly.
And you felt every moment of it.
The next day.
Isn't it like 30 miles?
How fast are you landing?
I want to say it's like 18 feet per second.
Something along those lines at nine miles an hour.
Cucking dog.
Too much.
I would never do static like, no.
It was fun.
I want to do it again.
I really do want to go back.
to Palakia. I think the gang should do it.
Nah.
This so opposite of the spectrum.
I had a great time.
And that's one that like, I'll do it.
Last time you guys did skydiving stuff in Salt Lake City, me and Cody had a great time
trying to get booze in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Yeah.
That was an event.
That was pretty fun.
We, they looked at me and Cody the same way I imagine people look at barbarians.
It was like 11.
1145. Yeah, can we get two
mimosa's and a shot of titos?
I have to go get my manager.
The manager has to come explain to us.
I can't legally serve you till noon.
And then I can only serve you one drink at a time.
And like, their liquor, do you remember how they had to do the glasses?
One drink at a time and it measured out.
Like it is.
So just to people know, Utah is measured.
And then you can not have two.
Yeah.
You cannot have two drinks at the same time.
You have to.
well the weird part was like they would come with the new mimosa's and we would have like I don't know this much left in and they're like did you want to finish that and we're like yeah we'll finish it just set those there they're like we can't oh I forgot about he's like I have to legally pick the empty glass up off the table before I can put this one down yeah it's like they had electric spouts to get the exact amount of of liquor in there too did you see that every spout for booze is electric there is no heavy hands
Hans. It's like, nope, this is all you get.
Salt Lake Cities or Utah in general, I guess, is like always the example I give when I'm
trying to argue with people that are like, you can't have that law because of separation
of church and state. It's like, that's not what that means. If you get enough people of any
religion in a demographical or geographical area and they vote whatever the fuck they want into law,
it doesn't matter what their reasoning is, whether it's because I feel like it or because
God says so. That's not violating separation of church and state. That's not what that means.
Also, people seem to think that like the separation of church and state is in like a foundational document or something like that. It's like that's not actually like any legal. The term separation of church and state is from a private letter written by Thomas Jefferson to a Baptist minister in Connecticut is where that term originated from. Right. I mean, the first amendment, you do have like Congress shall make no law, you know, regarding the establishment, like regarding religion essentially. Like you have the freedom to practice religion unimpeded by the state. You do have the freedom to practice religion unimpeded by the state.
state. The only thing the separation of church and state is meant to refer to is because we had
just separated from England. And in England, they had the church of England. And church and
politics got intermingled and it f*** everything up. So we said, we don't want to make that
mistake again. So in order to not do that, we're going to make it a law that you cannot
declare one particular religion or one particular branch of Christianity, the official religion of
the country or the state. That's all that means. It's not saying you can't. It's not saying you can.
hang up the Ten Commandments in elementary school or just saying like we're not going to have
handmaidens tale style fucking like state uh state enforced religion yeah interesting that's all that
means but nobody gets that because they don't want to no and if you say it they get mad
yeah that's one of those things people will get really pissed for it's like words i know
step away from that one huh so what are you doing now for uh you filmed all of that that
I'm guessing you did habitually fat.
Yep.
And now you're just, what's your actual Nix get?
Because you have to have one around the corner right now.
For a fat electrician?
Yup.
I did a guy by the name of John Lewis Barkley.
White guy.
For sure.
He's the one who talks about San Antonio, right?
No.
The old women.
Famous basketball player.
Yeah.
Sorry.
No, you're good.
It's right there.
No, I mean, I don't know, just some dude that he's one of the most decorated warfighters of World War I, but he got shafted just because he wrote the truth after the war, so everybody fucking hated him.
What do you mean by the truth?
So after World War I, there was like two.
What is Cody's bright?
What is Cody mean by the truth?
You ever heard of the Rothschilds?
No, after World War I, there was like, the only opinion you were allowed to have was,
like very like all quiet on the western front like all war is bad we're never doing this ever again
this was a war to end all wars blah blah blah blah blah well he wrote his memoirs and they were very much
like he talks about how he made a bunch of mistakes and how he screwed up missions and how he
almost got himself killed and got other people killed and he has a dark sense of humor and he
did not feel bad about killing people that tried to kill him which in 1930 i guess was like
very jarring of a perspective to have you were supposed to be very like
Captain America-esque.
And so his book like flopped and everybody painted him as like this war hungry killer,
which he absolutely wasn't.
But, uh,
it was just like an honest retelling.
It was like,
yeah,
it was an honest,
accurate retelling.
And,
um,
he actually goes on to make like a creepily accurate prediction about
World War II.
Because he became a journalist later in life.
And in 1930,
he writes an article basically saying,
Russia and Germany are going to start another world war.
And this is still during the period of like,
That was the war to end all wars.
We're never doing this again.
And he's like, no, it's going to happen again.
And he goes, it's going to start in Europe and then it's going to spread to America.
And it's mostly going to be fought in the air.
We're not going to have horses.
It's all going to be tanks.
And the chemical weapons are going to be so much worse, which isn't accurate.
But we made nukes.
Like, creepily accurate depiction.
Everything else other than the chemical warfare is like spot on.
Yeah.
I think everybody just kind of looked around.
We're like, well, let's not do that again.
That was fucking horrible.
but the, well, that's one of my favorite little factoid about World War I.
It's because, oh, God, World War I is, like, fascinating to me because it's, it's one of the least talked about wars, but it's the most interesting, I guess, underrated in that sense.
Abraham Lincoln did a good job with it.
Sure did.
He was certainly there for it.
According to Tech, Tom.
Oh, yeah.
Jeez.
We love you, tag.
We love our boy.
That man's knowledge of history is.
All right.
At least Cody got it.

But one of the things that was interesting is that the French general, I forget his name,
but he was technically, I think, commander of all allied forces in Europe.
he made a prediction about the Treaty of Versailles and basically said like this is so
restrictive on the Germans like this is going to ruin the German economy the only thing
we were doing is postponing this war 20 years what was the restrictions on Versailles oh it basically
was like German reparations they we destroyed their economy that was why you had like the
the German the Weimar Republic afterward where their currency was worth less than nothing you
had a ton of like sex tourism and all sorts of like Germany was in shambles for a very long
time. Like they essentially economically had no choice but to not follow along in those guidelines.
And that's what allowed somebody like Adolf Hitler to take power is because that was a big selling
point is he's like, we're not going to listen to these restrictions anymore. And that's why a fringe or a
radical ideology like that was able to take hold, which then again launched World War II. And so that
French general fucking nailed it right off the rip. John Lewis Barkley, like he got the medal of
honor. He was one of the most decorated guys of World War I. And his Medal of Honor action,
he was a scout. And he was out at like this observation post behind German lines by himself.
And he had a field telephone. So he, which is in itself is a wild notion of like, I'm going
behind enemy lines. I'm going to string out cable. Hope it doesn't get stepped on and then have a
string showing the enemy where I'm at. Kind of a crazy job. But that's what he was doing. And he's
like overlooking this big field and a battalion of Germans show up in the wood line and he goes
to radio, fucking radio's dead. So he has no way to communicate. So he can't tell him that this big
attack is coming. And in this field like 100 yards away, there's this French tank that's been
knocked out. And he's like, I can't make it to this fucking tank without them seeing me and
killing me first. And whatever, don't know how it happens, but Allied artillery,
drops smoke in this field
separating the line of vision.
So he runs back
the other direction towards his lines,
but there's a bunch of German shit
in the way where Germans have abandoned
a bunch of equipment,
grabs a German machine gun
and a bunch of ammo,
runs it down into this tank
and gets inside of it
and gets in a firefight
with a German battalion
for like four hours.
And their tank?
In a knocked out French tank.
Oh, do you.
And he holds up this counter attack
for like four fucking hours.
by himself.
Holy shit.
He goes into detail up.
He went through four,
he estimates 4,000 rounds
of ammunition.
Now that barrel had to be,
well, that's the thing
is I talk about it in the video.
Like, you have to realize,
this is like the most fucked up
game of red light green light.
Because he waits till all four to 600
guys get out in an open field.
And then he opens fire.
He runs three belts through
and then the barrel's too hot
to keep going.
So then it turns into a game of like,
they're all laying down.
Yeah.
And the only.
way they can hurt him is if they get to the tank.
So he has to manage the heat of the gun reloading and trying to convince all of them to
stay the fuck away from him at the same time.
So every second he's not firing, the Germans are like, did he overheat the gun?
Is he out of ammo?
Is this my chance to get up and run at him?
And he's not with him too.
It's a super f***ed up game of red light green light for four fucking hours that he had to play
with these dudes.
That one movie.
What was it?
Mamma ni mamma da
Thank you
Squid games
Yeah
See
Holy shit
Except you got shot
When you moved
The first time
Brandon
Do you need not
One more time
You got this buddy
Brandon can you
Brandon
Do you like
Brandon
Where do you store your firearms
All over my house
In every fucking crevice
Well do I have the product for you
Nick Schum
Here hand it to me Brandon
So I can show you
Brandon this is
Stopbox
Stop box. We love box.
You're selling me.
What's in the box?
You have to open it and find out.
All right, well, let's see if I can do this.
Oh, wow.
Look at that.
Oh, it didn't stop you.
Can I hide my goop in that?
You can hide your goop in that, Cody.
Cody, do you know why I love this thing?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Because you don't have to use keys.
Gun, not included.
Cody, you've got multiple cats in your house.
multiple cats in your house, including Squirt, who's quite the scrapper.
Would you want Squirt to have access to your firearms?
No, he's violent.
Well, then Stopbox is the perfect product for you.
No cats getting inside that.
Or people without thumbs.
The nice part is it is actually TSA compliant.
I didn't actually know that part until a couple months ago.
That is actually really cool.
You just put a little lock through there.
Exactly.
When you check in a pistol or any gun, if there's a hole that a lot can go through
on whatever you're checking your gun in, you have to put a lot.
you have to put a lock through that.
This has one hole, so you just need one lock easily accessible once you land on the ground.
I know you're not normally a one hole kind of guy, but this is definitely an exception to the rule.

Well, it's crazy is that that is, just imagine that you're waiting, you're holding,
you're like, okay, maybe overheated a few of your friends stand up.
They get mowed down.
He's like, okay.
Pause.
Wait.
That's one of those, the helmet on a stick trick.
Fuck, dude.
But then he talks about like, he has to do a barrel swap at one point and like just how fast.
he was moving to swap out the barrels.
And this is World War I.
I wonder what the fuck he was using.
It would have been a German Mark 8, I think.
The first I was thinking was it the MGO8?
Yeah.
MGO815.
I was just about to bring that up because I just bought one.
Of course.
Yeah, so he.
So I'm actually in the process of doing a video on one of these right now.
That's what we think.
It's like a maximum gun that was cut down to be like a relatively man portable.
It was like the first one of the first like actual like light machine guns.
So like in his book, because that has a water jacket on it to keep the barrel cool.
He talks about like running out of water.
Now the gun's going to overheat faster.
And then he's he's about to like basically abandon it and just like run for it and hope that he doesn't get shot.
And he crawls into the driver's section where there's another door that's going to give him like the best shot.
And when he gets in the driver's section, he finds some oil.
So then he puts oil inside the water jacket.
But then he so he keeps it in this firefight with oil in the water jacket.
but then he talks about how like, A, how hot it is inside this fucking tank in broad sunlight
shooting thousands of rounds of ammunition inside of a fucking can.
And then once he put the oil in, the fumes coming off the fucking gun.
He's like, I couldn't breathe out there.
Oh, dude, the burn.
Yeah.
Just him talking about all that shit.
It's like whole crap.
So that would be contained for the most part.
Well, would it is a machine gun now?
Yeah.
So it's like a closed system or like a lot of, I don't know, our gaskets are kind of
out so like the water leaks and shit like that but like at the time it would be pretty enclosed
because even like with the like the 240 and saw when we started shooting when you're up to like
400 500 000 rounds there's just that gas cloud that hangs out because that's the gas because that's
the gas because that's gas operated so the gas is shooting back at you so this is if i'm uh talking out
my ass a little bit but like i think the maximum of the mg 08 are short recoil so there's no gas
system it's the the the jacket around the barrel is entirely there
just to keep the barrel cool.
So in a perfect world, it doesn't leave.
But then the oil, I'm just getting heating up and everything.
Well, he talks about, I mean, he's also, it steams out, but then also like when he's
putting the oil in, he's also got 600 dudes running at him.
So he's, I don't know if he even put the cat back on, but he talks about dumping it in and
it overflowing over the gun or over the water jacket.
And then so, I mean, you have all the oil on the outside of the water jacket, heat
up so he just couldn't fucking breathe and then they finally get artillery sited in on him.
Oh, fuck.
The tank gets hit with artillery and he fucking survives and keeps fighting.
It's crazy.
How did he leave it?
It was just because they dropped the.
He, well, they dropped the smoke.
That's what let him get in there.
And then he was in this firefight by himself for they don't know exactly how long.
It's between two and four hours that he held off this entire battalion.
Sure.
It felt like fucking days.
Yeah.
Bro.
And he'd already been up for like.
three days already at this point on this recon mission.
Just flow state of killing Germans.
Yeah.
And like it's yeah.
How did he leave?
Well, eventually,
apparently after you get in a fucking firefight by yourself with machine guns for
two to four hours,
the Allied force are like,
there's something going on over there.
Eventually guys showed up.
And, uh,
yeah,
he like,
so what happens is,
he's in this firefight
and then right as shit's really going south
Allied artillery starts lighten up the Germans
and they start retreating and then allied forces come in
well then the Germans had already struck his tank
with the artillery
he doesn't know how long he was out
he just wakes up
and when he wakes up he's like well I'm not
dead but he hears gunfire going on
the allies had showed up and now they were getting
in a fucking firefight up on the ridge with the Germans now
so the Germans thought he was dead in the tank
so then he gets back in the tank and starts opening up again.
Nice.
To help him out.
And then once the battle's like over,
they show up and he like staggers out of the tank and as some infantry platoon gets to him first.
And the lieutenant's like,
who the fuck are you?
Like what?
He's like,
Barkley with the intelligence unit.
And he's like,
what the fuck happened?
He's killing Germans.
So his original book is titled No Hard Feelings.
The new name for Saul.
Yeah.
Also why it didn't perform well at the time.
The new name is Scarlet Fields referring to what the fucking field looked like in front of this tank.
And he like staggers out and the lieutenant's like looking at this field of dead Germans.
And then the tank that was knocked out and then hit with artillery again with him inside of it.
It's like, holy shit.
And then he just like staggers two miles back to his HQ tent.
Because I mean like, like, goes to bed.
Tanks in World War I were not armored.
No, not.
by modern standards or even by World War II standards.
Like mortars are a new standard.
Gas is a new standard.
Tanks are new like that was everything introduced.
Yeah.
I mean, he talks about all this.
He's like,
he's like,
all I could do is hope that they didn't have mortars or an anti-tank gun
because I was fucked and he's like they didn't.
But he talks about them getting their maxim set up in the woodline
and they start just shooting.
Basically,
the Germans were just throwing everything they had for suppressing fire,
trying to get them to stop so that they could get guys close enough with grenades
or be able to shoot into this porthole that he was shooting out of.
And he talks about how loud it is inside the tank.
He said it sounded like a thousand people had hammers beating on it.
Oh, my God.
Just.
And not service connected?
Yeah, no shit.
No, 100% not.
World War I, known for their earplugs.
That's the crazy part.
All the things that our grandfathers and great grandfathers did.
And like World War II, World War I, no of those motherfuckers had earplugs.
is that mortars are not you like artillery and everything even we didn't use it much it's just when
i heard the scale of like 60 to 65 million shells fired from both sides in a 10 month
conflict in one battle yeah well because that's where it was like mass mass manufacturable and
stuff like that like i mean we we we still like we had predecessors to that like in the
civil war for example like we had mortars like the cohorn mortar and like big like stuff that was
for that and then you had like airburst shells like it's not just a big steel ball like the shit
exploded midair oh see i didn't even know that was a thing yeah you would like cut fuses
and that was one of the jobs for a lot of the guys on the cannon crew is um like you would have
fuses sticking out of the cannon ball with the explosives inside you'd cut the fuse based on the range
you were trying to fire to get it to airburst over the top of infantry then that's when you said
that's like dialed the and on it where they're like it's reverse so like now a day is you
would change the optic.
You know what I mean?
You would change the optic to the ammunition because you're using like match grade
ammunition with like a sniper rifle.
It's the example I use.
The cannon guys were like, no, we're setting the canon where it's at.
And then the mathematician back there is going to add more black powder to the charge
if we needed to go further or less if we need it.
So like they were they were on the fly.
They were manufacturing the ammunition on the fly to the job as opposed to just changing the site
and having a fixed.
fucking wild.
Speaking of which,
I may have made a purchase.
A cannon?
Yes.
Yeah, it is
a big boy.
Oh my God.
I didn't.
Besides comparison.
Next to a humphy.
I was warned in advance.
They're like,
you know this this motherfucker like
with the carriage and all
is like 12 feet long,
right?
Like, yeah,
I got to clean up my garage,
but yeah.
Are you shooting it?
Oh, fuck yeah.
No, absolutely.
That's the one thing I want to do, like, I got a lot of ideas and I don't want to put necessarily all of them on the internet.
But I do want to at some point, like I've got a bunch of ideas.
Yes, that's what we're going to do.
That's why we bought it.
Yeah, strap into it.
Like you're the British occupation of India.
Strap them to the cannon wheels.
But that's something I do want to do is like test a bunch of different loads on it.
But the one I want to try to find a way that's not a destructive device.
And I don't.
I know a lot of those.
limitations legally speaking, but I don't know where this falls, try to replicate like an
airburst exploding cannonball like from the Civil War. Like with the black powder inside,
with the fuses and just show impact on targets. If you were able to actually get one day
air burst. Just show what a fucking shard of cannonball does at 300 yards. So this is like another part
of that John Lewis Barkley story that was just like interesting and cool to think about. He talks
about when he first gets drafted and he shows up to the train station on his way to basic training.
And it's like him and another guy that's getting drafted.
And they're just like hanging out at the train station.
And he has this old white dude with a white beard down to here come up to him.
And it's like, you boys in the in the army?
And they're like, yeah.
And he's like, yeah, I know soldiers when I see him.
And then he's like, I'm a veteran of the war between the states.
I want to give you some advice.
And the civil war guy tells him, stay spread out.
Don't get grouped up because they're going to get fucked up by grape shop.
And it's like he like implements that later on in the war like with machine gun fires same principle.
But like it was just interesting like, God damn.
It's a close.
I don't know.
Muskets and cannons to tanks and.
But the rule still applied.
It's like, hey, do this and you will be safe.
Because even to this day you have staggered formation by six feet to 12 feet, I think between grenades.
Right.
Well, it was just.
It was crazy for me to think about like my son is going to feel that.
way when I tell him when he's 20, like, oh, yeah, I've talked to World War II veterans.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Oh, yeah.
Holy shit.
Because by the time my son's 20, every World War II veteran is going to have passed and it's
going to seem like something that happened 500 years ago to him.
And I'm going to be able to feel like, no, yeah, here's a video of me talking to multiple
World War II veterans.
I mean, I remember the day when I saw the news article that said that the last World War
One veteran had died.
Yeah.
And that just kind of felt like monumental.
Like, oh, shit.
Like there's literally none of the.
left. Like we cannot get those stories anymore.
There's like 2012, right?
I don't know exactly when it was, but it was, it's one of the reasons why I love what we do
on the podcast where we get to platform World War II veterans to be able to tell those
stories and like keep them forever. Because there will be a day. I hope it's not soon,
but there will be a day where we can't get that anymore.
Everyone's always blown away by that too. It's like you talk to any veteran organization
or just people in general. That's the coolest thing we do is, holy shit. You got to sit down with
those guys and like share a beard.
It's like, yeah, it's fucking dope.
Having a drink with World War II veterans is really fucking cool.
And then I walk out.
What store did I go to yesterday?
He knew who I was.
And then the first thing he said, hey, it's the second guy to drink a white
claw at the Pentagon.
I was like, fuck you, dude.
I never, no one's ever said that.
And I started out like, motherf-fri.
So I went back to the Pentagon after.
all that. I had some meetings going on
in D.C. like, I don't know, fucking two weeks ago.
And I had to go back to the Pentagon
and our tour guides,
cool as far. Because like before the meetings,
we had like some guys that were giving us like the official
tour of the Pentagon. They were fucking rad
on subfans. You guys were awesome.
Had a great time.
And there was somebody that we were talking to like kind of
passing in passing in the hallway.
And somebody had brought up the concept or the idea of like,
oh, yeah, well, the alcohol, you know,
it was something like, oh, well, can't wait to grab a drink later or whatever.
Yeah, you guys have a bar around here and they're like, no, can't drink in the Pentagon.
And I just kind of like, well, you can if you got a permission slip.
And she just goes, you.
She's like, oh, we heard about you guys.
Mine's framed in my office.
Yes.
I'm keeping this forever.
It's over a year and a half or about a year and a half later.
our reputation precedes us in the Pentagon.
Good.
Good.

Cody, what's the next thing?
What's your next police breakdown, but then more importantly, your podcast, because you're covering the cool shit.
Yeah, man.
I had to, I feel bad about my audience for the crime is fun stuff because I had my wedding.
Then we went right into the honeymoon.
I didn't have time to prepare anything.
I'm supposed to be doing it weekly.
But I think the next one is going to be crimes that happen in carnivals.
And then, yeah, yeah, people that got murdered by like carnies and shit.
And then also rides that killed people, you know, murdered them technically, I guess.
Yeah, just crazy shit like that.
A lot of failures of rights.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
There was one case where a dude was, uh, a dude was, uh,
They were asking his coworker at a funnel cake stand.
And so she, she, uh, she throws batter in his face.
This is fucking, he fucking, that is as carny as it gets to.
Yeah.
And so she, she throws.
It's such a good name for a country song.
Yeah.
They were asking my coworker at funnel cake stand.
But yeah, she.
Yeah, by Zach Ryan.
Fingered by a Carney.
By Zach Ryan.
Yeah.
The phone.
Yeah.
The phone.
Yeah.
Oh.
she throws batter on him and he's like fucking falls over and his head goes in the deep
fryer and he literally funnel-cakeed his face it's pretty cool uh yeah a lot of a lot of crime i got that
going and then came up looking like a meat candy yeah exactly how uncoordinated oh
there's like a fucking looondy too comes back out like trying to
And then hand it to $5.
That'd be $5.
Handed to an obese child.
You'd think like how can someone be so
uncoordinated?
But we've been watching all the Indians on Twitter lately, brother.
That's getting out of control.
I've been sending lots of videos.
They know that trains have to follow the tracks, right?
You can't just get attacked by a train.
Bro, I'm telling you right now when you, at least when I went through school to
an electrician, you get to spend a couple hours of your time watching Indian people get fried
by electricity.
Hell yeah.
Like there's some videos where like it's just like, what are they doing?
And it's not like a one off where you're like, oh, and that's him paralyzed now.
Yeah, I would think so.
His homeboy jerking him up.
But I mean, the train ones like there's it was.
It had to have been either an electric train or it was just a high voltage line running next to the train.
And some Indian dude is standing on it and reaches up and just grabs a high voltage line just gone.
Have you seen the 20 of them moving in like a shrine or something, the middle of a field where you can clearly see there's a line.
And so they're all holding this giant shrine.
His line, all of them just drop.
Oh, wait.
No, I haven't seen that.
I thought you were talking about when they were like.
No, they do.
The tower, it's the huge tower everyone's riding on.
It falls over.
Yeah.
And it is, that's like a 50 foot tower.
Have you seen the David Attenborough one where it's the fake documentary, but it's all the real videos?
And here we have the Indian with its native predator, the train line.
As there's clearly no indicator of where the train will.
will be going in the future, its prey has no chance of survival.
AI is moving fast across the enterprise.
But without visibility, it's just chaos.
Different tools, different models, different teams using AI in completely different ways.
Service now turns that chaos into control.
With the AI control tower, you see all your AI across the business in one place.
What it's doing, what it's done.
and what it's about to do.
So you stay in control.
To put AI to work for people, visit service now.com.
Let's see what happens.
It's like, it's very funny.
Nothing.
It's not funny.
I just picture Indian people like, like dear.
Another train stops.
It really does illustrate, though, the reactions on some of that.
Like how different our mindsets are, like just Americans versus, you know, other places in the world on, on the value of life.
because man, the reactions to that,
like if I would be horrified
if I watch somebody get smoked by a train in real life, right?
But at these people, it's like an everyday occurrence.
There's just no reaction whatsoever.
I don't understand it.
The video you showed me yesterday.
With the dude with the shotgun on his chest.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I'm going to do that on Darwin.
Yeah.
Oh, that's, I think that's the one I see.
Yeah.
He's just dancing, having a good time with the shotgun on his chest.
Just pointing a loaded shotgun at his chest and fucking with the trigger guard.
It goes off.
Have you guys seen...
And then they dance it by...
They danced in the way.
They danced in the way.
And he's like,
don't want to fuck up everybody else's good time.
Like, what the fuck?
Have you guys seen all the videos where it's like...
It'll be like in America or whatever.
And it's like, I don't know, a Chevy Equinox where they like...
The rail guards for the train station both fall and they're stuck in between them.
You, Jesus fucking.
You can just see the person has time to like, oh, I'll try to reverse.
Oh, no, that rail guards.
down. Okay, I'll try to drive for. Oh, that one's down too.
And then they just sit there and for like 15 seconds waiting for the
train. It was like, fucking drive through it.
Like, I don't. Well, a lot of them flex and bend outward for that exact reason.
And it literally, it is the most frustrating thing.
It gives me so much anxiety of like, how are you this stupid?
And then they just like get out and run. It's like, I don't.
It's the one, I swear, one backed up and there's a vehicle and they backed up.
And then they just gave up.
because they're like, there's a car behind me.
Nothing in front.
So they did not just go forward and get...
Dude, there's one in my district.
I think it's in Pekas, where it's like an old train station.
And there was a train derailment.
I don't remember what it was, like a truck in the road or some shit like that.
But it sent a train into an antique train station.
Like full on, like train.
And there were people in it.
I forget what they turned it into.
But there were people inside.
this thing as a train derails and just sails into this antique building.
In Charles City, Iowa, the only time.
Oh, a show.
Similar story.
A live show.
A small town near mine, Charles City, Iowa.
There is a dive bar in an old train station, and the dive bar is called derailed.
I'm not shitting you in, I believe, 2014.
a train derailed and hit the bar.
Hmm.
I mean, you're asking for it at that point.
What was the other?
Yeah, that is the train station, that brick building.
Half of it's not there anymore.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, so it just hit.
Oh, it was bad bad.
Yeah.
There's a, uh, did you ever?
I don't think anybody died, though, thankfully.
The police officer that forgot to pull the person out.
Oh, no.
Oh, they did get killed.
driver, I think.
He had someone cuffed in his SUV.
She did.
And she leaves it on the tracks and gets out and starts talking to someone.
And train just smacks it.
In the play.
Oh, dude.
Homies arrested on the train tracks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know if they died or not.
I can't remember.
I think they got fucked up really bad.
They made a lot of money.
Trains are notoriously quiet.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She, uh, no horns or anything.
Or, thank God there wasn't an acorn then.
She would have shot him too.
I thought the train would stop.
I had my lights on.
It was supposed to pull over to the side.
I can't remember what her thinking was on that one.
That was a while back.
Just imagine being the, you just get arrested and then put it in a car on the tracks.
You're like, huh, that's weird.
What kind of Scooby-Doo-Doo-Ass?
Like, duddly do right death?
Like, that's absurd.
You're literally tied up on the train tracks.
Yeah.
And then her reaction to it is like, oh, my God.
there was somebody in my car.
That was the reaction.
It was like, huh?
Why the fuck did you park on the train track?
You can do like, as you said, five feet in either direction, avoid the situation altogether.
There's no way of knowing where a train will be.
They move at all axes famously.
If you get hit by a train, it's your fault.
He's the exception to the rule.
Yeah.
Cody's researching it right now.
Yeah.
So they ended up being charged.
The officer was charged.
I'm trying to figure out.
I would certainly hope so.
The woman suffered a fractured,
tubia, broken arm, nine broken ribs and a fractured sternum in the incident.
They originally wanted to hit the cop with attempted manslaughter or reckless, attempted reckless manslaughter.
How do you attempt manslaughter?
I don't know.
But they ended up getting reckless danger.
Put him in a train.
Well, if there were ever a scenario.
Arthur Morgan here.
Yeah, they ended up getting reckless endangerment and third degree assault.
How did you park on the train tracks?
Again, you do a pull, you stop there after pulling somebody over and then march them into it.
And the first thought is to run away.
Be killing people like Red Dead Redemption online.
Mm-hmm.
Have you seen the guy stack like 40 people up on the train tracks?
It's the inverse trolley problem.
Yeah.
What would you guys do up in Dallas with Sack?
It was like, I don't know.
It was some,
the government's trying to figure out how to combat propaganda.
So they brought in a bunch of YouTubers for advice and then.
Didn't listen?
I mean, some of them listened.
Was that what that was?
Basically.
Oh, I thought it was like a bad thing.
Well, yeah, but it was specifically about like propaganda.
So like the examples that they had were,
like after the Maduro raid, that picture that was going around of like the dude that captured Maduro.
It's just like some operator like smiling with somebody with a bag on their head.
They're like, that picture was from 10 years ago.
Like that's not the guy, but everybody was sharing this on the internet.
And like that guy's been retired.
But now A, that guy has to deal with it.
And it's like, B, you don't want to be sharing around.
Like people can figure out who that is now.
As families at risk.
So it was very much like.
how to keep family members and service members safe from all that BS.
Like that's, yeah.
Yeah, how did that photo get out there in the first place?
And then that's, I'd be like, where did that come from?
Did he post up?
Like, that gone circulation somehow.
Right.
But I wouldn't, I wouldn't even consider that propaganda.
Like, that's just getting shared around on the internet because everybody wants to,
the, everybody wants the clicks of being first.
Oh, we got the guy who was on the raid.
Yeah.
And then it gets shared around, even though, like, half of those were fucking AI.
Well, so, I mean, there was multiple, like, um, I won't say which ones, but it was, you know, like, veterans organizations and like, um,
nonprofit organizations.
No, like, they were being cool.
Like, they were asking us questions on how to solve stuff.
And, like, my big piece of advice was like, you know, your issue is like, people are putting out bad information.
And even journalists are putting out bad information sometime.
I go, why don't a lot of you guys that are these nonprofits and, like, institutions?
that do work with government because they're like,
we've tried talking to Meadow,
we've tried talking to X,
and they won't help us solve the problem.
I'm like, yeah,
that's never going to happen.
No.
If you want to do anything that you could actually impact,
get a bunch of you guys together
and actually come up with some type of stamp or verification
and then potentially even get that to be a checkmark
on social media platforms where you could be like,
hey,
this military influencer or this independent journalist has this checkmark
or this stamp of approval from all these organizations
of actually putting out really accurate information all the time
so that people know where to get reliable information from.
It's going to be funny the first time one of those gets yoinked.
You're putting out AI bullshit and they just yoink your shit.
Yeah, but I mean, how useful would it be
if there was actually a nonprofit organization out there
that regardless of whether you're a left wing or right wing content creator
if they just gave the stamp of like,
this person puts out accurate information.
It's kind of like the MPAA in a way.
Like movie ratings?
Yeah.
That's a hard one though because no matter what like it's going to happen.
You can have an org that says, oh, you can trust us, but still first people out.
You'd almost just want the U.S. military after a raid happens.
It's like here's the fucking dudes with blurred faces.
They did it.
It's done.
Release it all out there.
That's the only information you give.
And like, oh, okay, well, the government did it.
Yeah, because if the only information out there is false information, then like that's very
hard to combat.
You'd say, oh, no, this is the real photo.
It's just like, I mean, right after bin Laden got killed, that was, what, 2011, 2011, 2012, something like that.
Everybody remembers the shitty Photoshop of like a mangled bin Laden face that was just completely fake.
But that went everywhere on Facebook because there was no real photo.
That was fake?
Yeah.
Did not know that.
I thought that was the real thing.
Nope.
It was like an amalgamation of like prior photos mixed with, you know, some.
Well, that's, and to my point, exactly, like if that's the only thing that floats out there,
dude, it's hard to combat.
Boom! That's right. Blueprint, longevity mix.
It says to show it off. I was doing that anyways. Plus I'm drinking it, because I actually use it.
Blood orange. You know who made this? Brian Johnson, put his face up.
It's the dude that's like, he's trying to live forever. And this is the viral, long,
mix that he drinks every morning.
I actually started to do the same.
One way to look at your body is Formula One.
Now, if you're on the grid racing for a World Championship,
would you just put in normal trash gas,
or would you put in race fuel?
Clean race fuel.
Now, think of the same thing, but instead of gas,
it's food and supplements.
So first thing in the morning's longevity mix,
followed by protein shake,
and then another protein shake,
some creatine, and another protein.
So what does one single scoop do? It does promote better sleep. Energy, cognitive performance,
mood, focus, cellular resilience. That word. Also, Blueprint doesn't just make longevity mix. They also
offer essential capsules, all designed around the same data-driven philosophy. Science-backed, precision

Seen how much the Osama bin Laden
baseball card is now,
the MVP cards?
The what?
Yeah, so they used to have
like trading cards.
I have a sh-upon of them at my house.
Back in the day.
And if you can get it PSA graded,
like at PSA 8 or 9, Osama bin Laden.
Like the most wanted thing?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not NVP.
Well, they're baseball, but it's not the, it's not playing cards.
It's actual, like, baseball cards pretty much.
I have a shit ton of them at my house in the box.
Tops during, it's like our, it was top,
it was during Desert Storm.
So it's different than the ones we got.
Could you, right on top of the Gulf War cards, but they're like, they're Osama ones.
Yeah, the ones that person get to us.
But the Osama one, if you get a PSA graded, yeah, kind of like these.
But NAC graded like eight or nine, they're like two or three grand.
What?
Yeah, I was looking.
Oh yeah, no, I'm looking at it.
Yeah, no, it's like $2,500.
Yeah.
Operation Enduring Freedom.
2001,
Tops Enduring Freedom, Osama,
Osama bin Laden,
PSA 10, gem, mint, 19 card,
$2,500.
There's one signed by
Rob O'Nill on eBay right now.
That's really funny.
I messaged them. I was like,
hey, can you get me one of these?
Or, hey, can I just get you five cards
when you sign them?
Drive up to Austin.
and be like, Rob, sign these real quick.
Thank you.
Side hustle, we just start getting our guest to sign ship for us.
I did not know.
The playing cards of people that they've smoked.
We should get, we should have a homie, print us another trophy skull that's like blank.
And then just have all the war veterans that we bring on sign it.
That can be something cool for unsub.
What's his name?
skull.
I think it's called trophy skulls on Instagram.
What a niche.
Trophy war skulls.
Is it that guy?
Yes.
Yep.
Okay.
Trophy war skulls on Instagram.
I hope so.
You can order from him.
He'll make you custom ones,
whatever you want, I think.
I don't know what I'd want on a skull.
I just think it's cool.
They look 100% like it is.
So, yeah, his Instagram and we thought they were.
We thought they were real.
When we first saw it in the box, it was like, we all just kind of looked around like, do we cut this?
I remember Googling, am I legally allowed to have this when he first opened it up before we realized that it was 3D printed?
Like, they look scarily real.
The joy on our faces is the more terrifying.
No, we had never been that happy opening anything.
One human skull and then disappointment.
Well, that was the second.
thought. It was like, the first thought was like, oh my God.
The second one, like, cut.
Oh, my God.
It's like a hamlet.
Like, we're having to take custody.
Like, who's got the skull this month?
It's my week with the skull.
Dude, they look fucking dope, though.
See, I love that shit.
Mr. Brandon, what's your
the next good fun politics?
stuff do you get it doing? Fun politics. None. I don't do any fun politics, but I mean, it's, it's work. It's, it's another, you know, full-time job on top of it, on top of everything else. But it's, it's good stuff. Because right now we're, we're focusing really hard, you know, memes aside, you know, like it was, you know, oh, Tony, this, this, that. But like, now we really are taking it very seriously because there is a, there's a vacancy in the seat right now. So there is nobody representing Texas District 23 because Tony resigned. I don't know if we've even.
said that on the podcast, but he publicly had to resign because of his actions. And so while it's good
that bad things happen to bad people and there's still accountability in the system, I feel like
that's a huge white pill. There's accountability. You could still call out these people. And if you have
enough momentum behind it, you know, there are consequences. But now there's no representation for the
district until the election. So we're trying to do everything we can because it's a Republican seat.
I'm the most likely nominee.
Well, I am the Republican nominee, but the most likely the person that's going to fill that seat.
So we're already working hard on establishing like a ground game and solving problems.
Like the Big Ben Border Wall, we were big on that.
AI data centers, the Howard Solstice power lines cutting through the district.
We're working on real issues that are, I mean, mostly bipartisan.
It's not just like a Republican Democrat thing.
It's like a real, real issues that impact people here.
and if I can do all of these things
and fix all of these problems
before I even take office,
just imagine what I can do
when I've actually got the sway of a vote.
And so that's kind of the tactic we're taking now.
It's just solving the problems
before we even have the fucking seat.
That's all I was wondering how that works
because I have again no idea on any of that side.
It's like no one's in the seat.
So it's not on pause, as you're saying,
you still have to show up
and then try to sway it without.
Yeah, well, because I can still talk to,
for example,
that run the data centers. I could still talk to the power companies. I can talk to specifically
with the Big Bend border wall is a great example. So I can talk to the folks that I know in the White
House or in the Department of Homeland Security, which I went and I met with both in person
when I went to D.C. and advocated for the district as far as not having the border wall in the
Big Bend National Park. Because it's a natural barrier already. Like they're talking about
putting like a 20 foot fence on top of a 90 foot granite cliff. Like it's a natural barrier.
it was responsible for like a record low immigration like even during the peak of the border crisis out of all of the sectors of border that one was responsible for like 1.3% of illegals and I think they were like almost all stopped. It's just a very hard place to illegally immigrate. But it's a problem for agriculture. It's a problem for, you know, wildlife. It's a problem for tourism, which that economy and that county very, very heavily depends on. I don't want to get too boring with it, but it's like serious policy shit, right?
And because of our advocacy and thanks to plenty of others that really helped in that, we were able to get the White House and DHS to say that they are no longer seeking a border wall in Big Bend National Park, which I'm very proud of.
And so now we're trying to move and make sure that that's the same for the state park as well for the same reasons.
But we're making progress.
We're actually getting stuff done.
And I don't even have a seat.
So, I mean, that's, again, it's like just trying to solve the issues.
like if I can solve this many issues before I'm in office, imagine what I could in.
That's awesome.
At the gym we go to, it's still while we've talked about it before, it's just older individuals that do not watch YouTube, but now they know you specifically for that.
It's very strange still.
Yeah.
Great advice sometimes.
It's getting awkward.
You're Brandon Herrera.
I love your work.
Which work.
Thank you, man.
What do you mean?
Dude, it is like 60, 7 year olds walking up in the gym.
I'm like, you're Brandon Herrera.
I'm like, that dude does not know what YouTube is.
There's fucking no way.
And they're like, but.
But it's good, though, to permeated that because, you know, you can't win elections online.
No.
Like, it's stuff like this.
So, like, that's, again, what a lot of the donations and everything go to is like permeating that culture where, you know, we're doing radio ads, TV ads, mailers, stuff like that, meeting the voters where they are.
And it's been, I mean, clearly fairly successful.
Have we considered pro Brandon Herrera AI slop?
That seems to be very effective against the boomers.
What if we could just get some AI videos of you like, I don't know,
saving children from trains or whatever, like you flying in.
That's a horrible.
This was a horrible podcast to bring that up on.
I know.
So there was almost a lot.
To my understanding, I don't think of this past.
Almost, Brandon.
Almost.
Nick, go on.
Yeah.
Where they were, they were basically would have banned.
Riding these ice deers stuff.
Banned AI from political advertising in the state of Texas.
I'm like,
I wish it's because it's so cringe.
I didn't say advertising.
I said,
what if all your friends started shit posting AI?
Oh,
that's fine.
On Facebook.
Specifically Facebook.
Legitimately like,
it's going to be a lion.
A female lion drops a lion
lion cub in Brandon's arms.
Yeah.
All right, don't do.
And runs off.
And Brandon nurses it.
back bald eagles landing on your shoulder and shit don't don't do literal slop but I will say this
the new front of this this this the new front of this war is on Facebook so uh just so you know
I have a campaign Facebook and so does my opponent so it's all the AI slop of like look at the
new creature they found off the coast of Costa Rica blah blah blah blah blah like sea monster AI
slop and it's just you beating the shit out of it it's gonna be great I I a
guys. It's going to work so good.
It went from Will Smith eating spaghetti to one-shotting anybody over 60s so quick.
Dude, there's those ones. It's the bear. Have you seen the mother polar bear knows it's
exhausted and going to die? So drops off cub into canoe of man. No, I've not seen that.
And then it is, the polar bear like walks up and it puts the cub in the canoe. And the guy's like,
what? Oh my God. It's a POV shot. And then the polar bear where a polar bear lives.
Brandon.
The polar bear dies.
And then he goes like this,
the baby polar bear is looking up
and he's like petting it.
And then the title is,
it's like mother polar bear knows it's dying
and gives its cub to somebody it trusts.
And the boomers got one shot by that.
They're like,
a mom always knows when to trust somebody.
Those are the same ones that have like that.
I shot my balls off at Cracker Barrel.
Like, sure.
At that.
Well,
I love these.
It's funny he says because at the thing,
a lot of like the,
I don't know,
like I don't know if the correct terms like VSO groups,
like the older veterans organizations that are now,
you know,
worried about taking care of like older veterans,
their biggest concern was online scams with AI
and old people getting tricked by AI
and every influencer in that room is just like,
there's nothing we could do about that.
I'm sorry.
Like, people have been falling for the Norwegian print scam forever.
Like, this is just, there's, Nigerian.
Whatever.
What do I say?
Norwegian.
You said Norwegian.
Yeah, whatever.
That's fine.
There's just Alexander Scarsguard.
It's scamming your grandfather out of money.
Dude.
Sorry, it was a guy saves Polar Bear Cub because an orca is.
is going to kill it.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Oh, bro, he saved it.
Yeah, that's true.
I love his speedboat.
Dude, the killer wall is trying to get it.
He runs off with it.
Let's go to the...
Why is it changing sizes?
Wait, and then the mother bear
ripped the tin open,
but then seeing they were taking care of it,
so then they left and set them.
Dude, that's beautiful.
Dude.
There was one.
It is boomers week.
It's their cryptonite.
There was one I saw on,
on X the other day where it was like a video of a shark jumping out of the water
and attacking a helicopter that was like landing on an aircraft carrier and like took down
the helicopter and it just said like, he said, my mom just sent this to me with the caption,
Pray for our service members.
I don't know.
And I don't have an answer for how to combat that.
You can't.
That's the shitty part.
Like I just.
I just like it went from Princess in Nigeria to this.
Dude, those scammers are getting pretty gnarly, though, man.
They'll look up videos with the old people's, like, grandkids,
and they'll run their voice through AI and then get the AI to call them,
be like, Grandma, I need $5,000.
I think there was a story.
Bill, why are you in South Africa?
I was arrested, Grandma.
Okay.
I think it was Woody from PKK at one point where, like, he has a, he's got an autistic son that's like,
It's a grown-ass man now, but like still, I think he still lives with them and everything.
But his parents got a phone call using his son's voice saying he was in a car wreck and needed money or something like, it's something along those lines using his voice, which is fucking crazy.
And I, again, if you don't know any better, how do you, how do you explain to an 80-year-old person?
Dude, even before we had AI, like when I was a cop 10 years ago, we would have old people get scammed all the time.
and two or three times I took the reports myself
and I would say, well, did that sound like your grandchild
asking for money?
Well, no.
Dude, why?
Why would you send it?
They said they were a friend.
It's like, okay.
Older people get really gullible sometimes.
That's just sad.
That's just despicable.
They go after older people like that.
The AI thing aside, I still, and it's not even like 70-year-old.
I know 45-year-old people that can't use a computer to save their life.
It's just I can't talk about.
about the mother of all bad decisions when computers were first coming out and you're just like,
this is a fad. I'm not going to waste my time on it. And now you're completely computer illiterate.
Well, I know how it happens, though, because like I've seen like some of the AI stuff and, uh,
and with TikTok. I think that's where I drew my line in the sand like, I don't know, six, seven years ago.
But we hired people for TikTok specifically. Fuck you. I knew that was coming. But I was like for TikTok. I'm like,
that was my line in the sand. I'm like, I'm not going to learn this. I, and then I, in that
exact same moment, I'm like, oh, this is how it happens, huh? Yeah. You just, you find that line,
and then 20 years later, you're getting one shot by just AI slop. Have you ever woken up and
felt the immediate need for a nicotine pouch slash and slash or a cup of coffee? I can't talk. It
says no neck on the can. Yeah, no nick allowed. Be gone. How many pouches, cups of coffee,
or energy drinks do you need throughout the day to stop from crashing? Too many. Did those
cause anxiety or make you feel on edge?
I love edging.
Well, that's why using Ultra pouches can be a game changer for your energy levels.
Ultra is the ultimate guilt-free pouch.
They deliver ultimate focus and energy that lasts one to two hours.
All without nicotine or caffeine.
Well, if they don't have nicotine, what's in them?
Great question.
Ultra partnered with leading neurosciences to develop these pouches, Cody.
You mean they have neutropics and adaptogens in them?
I know you mispronounce neutropics, but yeah, they got those.
Neutropics!
And adaptogens.
They use Infinity, all rights reserved, PX.
Alpha GPC.
Healthianine, a totally naturally occurring amino acid.
And vitamin B6 and B12.

guards. Please, for the love of God, show your support. Even AI right now, a lot of, it's surprising how many
people do not incorporate it into their day to day and help. And it is wild to me. I'm like,
this is the really good tech. It's very helpful if you use it, right? I find it to be the opposite,
frankly. I feel like there's a lot of, like, probably Gen Xers for the most part, who feel like they
missed out on a lot of the social media boom and, like, the gold rush of social media, and they
don't want to miss out on the next thing. And they overuse the shit. And they overuse the shit.
out of AI. And they just think AI is the answer to everything. And they send these like
horrifically, they post these horrifically edited reels and things like that thinking like,
I'm cutting edge and everybody under 30s like, ah. Do you guys notice that too or is that just?
I think there's that. Again, it's you do not have, it's like us trying to use TikTok or the
people actually are studying and be like, hey, you can do this right. And as long as a human is viewing it,
and then you train it properly,
you can get some really good help out of it
and it makes your job more efficient.
But a majority of people don't do that.
They're just like, I've already talked to people.
They're like, oh, what do you mean train your AI?
I'm like, oh, okay.
You have no idea how to use even grok or chat.
GTP.
I'm going to get it one day.
One f***ed day.
I'm going to nail that name.
I just don't even correct it anymore.
It's like whatever.
Eli versus acronyms chapter.
37.
I'll tell you what it's not good at history.
It sucks dick at history.
It's awful.
You don't say.
I hate it.
Oh,
you can't use it because then it's fucking giving you.
I can't use it.
I've,
when it was first,
like I'll check in on it every once in a while.
Like after I already know everything and I'll just ask it a question.
Horrifically wrong.
All the time.
It does that with a lot of crime reports.
I try to research too.
Like I'll ask it be like,
hey,
where are the,
Did Addy Murphy grow up?
And it'll start giving me all the information from like Alvin York or like completely different war hero.
I'll be like, no, he didn't.
He was born in this place.
No, he was born in this place at this time.
No, that's Alvin York.
Oh, you're right.
My bad.
And it always apologizes to like the.
It's like, oh, you're actually right.
It's like, yeah, man.
Do I cut the red wire or the green wire?
Oh, shit.
You're right.
My bad.
Wait, you're dead.
It's Husk.
Husk, IRL.
The guy that argues with AI.
Have you seen his vision?
No.
No.
This is the part where, again, Eli,
shows something to us that the camera cannot see.
What's Tony Hawk's brother's name?
Tony Hawk has an older brother named Steve Hawk.
No, I was thinking about his brother, Mike.
Got it.
Yes, Tony also has a brother named Mike Hawk.
He actually has three brothers.
He asks, hey, 80 or what letter has,
what number has an A in it?
And it was like 80 has a.
A in it. He's like, really?
This is chat GTP. Yes.
It has chat GPT.
GPT. Son of a bitch.
Fuck.
Difficulty impossible.
It has an A in it?
First impression. Can you just let me...
Shut up.
It is struggling
with baseline
shit.
Where's the other one?
Simple instruction.
Can you laugh at everything I say just to make me feel funny?
It doesn't have a counter either.
I can definitely throw in some laughs if that makes you happy.
I agree everything.
All right. I'm on it.
Just warming up.
Um, it smells nice in here.
There you go.
Even talking about nice smells.
I just crashed my car.
Oh, uh, well, okay.
That was a little dark.
My grandma's.
dead. She's been dead.
Oh, I'm really sorry
to hear that.
No, I'm supposed to laugh.
All his videos every day is that
fucking
Husk, you're crushing it out there.
Shut the fuck.
You're crushing it out there.
Shut the fuck up.
So, Japan, anything
weird happened or what's the, like,
food was good. I know you said that.
nah man it was chill it was just a good time what part of japan were you in we started off in
Tokyo and then we went to Kyoto after that so we like went up to the temples and saw the monkeys
on top of the mountains and did the basic touristy shit and it was wonderful dude you would love the food
the waggo over there there's a waggoo stand every 10 feet it's incredible as a kiyoto
food district oh yeah that market district with all the food on both sides that's so good
What would that?
What?
How do we get you to get a passport to do anything outside of the United States?
You don't.
Period.
What is your resistance to leaving the country?
Why?
Why would I?
Because I had a left, for one, I have left the country either.
Yeah.
But I don't know.
I don't have a resistance to me.
At some point in my genealogy, my ancestors looked around and said, this shit's gay, I'm going over here.
And I trust him.
It's enough for me.
Well, yeah.
Nobody's telling you you have to move away from Iowa.
I know that's a fool's errand.
But just, I mean, visiting places isn't bad.
I don't know.
It was bad enough.
They're like, you know what?
I will take a covered wagon to California.
Yeah, but they didn't have access to first class on a 747.
No, they didn't.
And they still decided to come here anyways because it's that bad out there.
You can go to Africa sounds so dope with Kevin.
No, it doesn't.
Okay, South Africa with Kevin, yes.
Yes.
Okay, that, yeah, that I would do.
If we get to go hunt.
I can hunt in Iowa.
Deer?
Yeah.
What am I going to hunt in Africa?
Nick, have you seen the deer in Africa?
They're a different color.
Their horns are funnier shapes.
I don't give a shit.
Actually, I will say most of what you could hunt in Africa,
or a lot of what you would hunt in Africa,
you can hunt in Texas because it's just all exotic.
I rest my case.
Lines?
Yeah.
What?
Probably.
No.
You can't.
I can find a guy.
Maybe I don't know.
You got enough money.
You can hunt whatever you want.
I swear he, doesn't he hunt, like,
everything there on his property?
I don't know if you could just a hunt.
Well, I think...
Yeah, the pride.
That's how they do it.
You can kill the pride.
He probably doesn't want you talking about it on the internet.
No, he takes photos of it.
Kevin is very love shitting on people when they, like,
get pissed about it.
I would figure, like, lions,
it, like, would fall into a similar category of, like,
elephants where it's, like, if it's, like, a problem animal or something
like that, then you can take him.
I don't, I actually don't know on that,
But I know in the United States you can't hunt a lion.
They're not here.
They're not native to the United States, Brandon.
That's what I thought you were asking.
No.
Okay.
I was like, no.
That's why you said, what can I hunt there that I can't hunt here?
I'm like lions.
Because I know you got places like ox ranch where they've got like rhinos and shit.
But like they have them just to have them.
Like you can't just here's 50 grand can I shoot one?
Kevin does not give me shit.
That's a leopard, Eli.
I know.
I just let me scroll further for a different large cat.
Music.
acronyms, large cats.
It's just Kevin with a house cat.
Kevin, I have to put my foot down on that one, buddy.
Rip beans, piano man starts playing.
Oh, I have a question for you about cats.
Is your cats water by its food?
Yes.
Try moving it.
Why?
Because I read something the other day that house cats are almost always
in a constant state of dehydration
because a cat's instincts
are to not drink water near its food
source because in nature
like contaminated fucking water or whatever
he likes it. I have running water too.
You always want to have a fountain too. They'll drink
more. Really? Yeah. Because still
water they don't like it that much. So that's why they're hydrated too.
So you got a white claw fountain to your house too. Yeah, that's true.
Cody's laughing. I hate that.
Cody just walking on all floors to the white claw fountain.
He's unlocking a genetic memory.
Spraying Cody with water.
Giant lion.
Yeah, there you go.
He kills everything out there.
I just wonder what the circumstances are that you can kill a lion.
You got a gun.
Well, all right.
You can do whatever you want.
We got free will.
I feel like we were hammering with Kevin one night.
He was talking about a lion attacking villagers.
And he went out there with the whole village and they killed it.
Well, the males age up and they stop reproducing,
but they fight off reproducing males
so there will be like a 60 year old lion
that's killing all the young males
that will actually breed
and they could kill them.
That was the story of a Cecil O'Lyion.
Yep, it was an alpha.
You can't explain that to an animal rights activist.
No, well, A, because they're retarded,
but B, like,
I don't know, it's fucking irritating
because every time I've ever gone on a hunt like that,
even the elk out in Utah,
like you're going after specifically,
like you're helping the species
because you're going after one that's past its prime that can't breed,
but they're keeping all in the elk's situation.
Like they're retaining the bulls or excuse me, the calves.
You're doing multiple things.
Excuse me, not the calves.
So you're paying, it's not an Epstein elk.
There's a reason the doctor did it.
So Cecil, it was a doctor that paid like $200,000, I think, to hunt that.
That money then goes to the tribe that is in that area.
They get all the meat, the skin.
Well, a lot of them don't realize, too, that a lot of the conservation that we have.
In the United States and across the world, that's great, is because of hunters.
Like hunters pay for all of that shit.
There wouldn't be money going to a lot of conservation if it wasn't for people that were willing to hunt stuff.
That's how they pay for it.
Everything.
I've looked into a bunch of like different stupid government interfering with hunters and conservation stories since I did that cocaine hippos video.
And every story ends the exact same way.
People get upset that hunters are killing this.
animal, hunters have to quit. The animal starts overpopulating and breeding. And then the government
has to pay poachers to go in there and kill them anyways. And it's like, okay, cool, you were
collecting tax revenue and getting somebody to do it for free and conserving the species. And now
you have to pay a mercenary money to go in there and kill them with tax money. You know how the,
the whole cows are bad because of cow forts for the environment. We have 60 million cows in America,
some cattle ranchers arguing with this person.
What do we have before cows, dipshit?
Bison.
We had 80 million of them roaming around,
eating grass and shitting and farting.
This is not new.
Just because it's a cow instead of a bison.
It doesn't.
But not only that, it was actually a huge,
it was a huge push basically saying that,
like, private ownership of animals
is better for conservation in certain regards,
like the buffalo,
because buffalo was just public property.
A lot of times, like,
the army was just having them eradicated.
They weren't owned.
And so that's why we don't fucking have any of them.
It's because there was no ownership.
If you own it, you protect it.
You want to cultivate it.
But if it's just public property, then, well, you saw what happened to the Buffalo.
Dude, those, that's one of the most gnarly pictures.
If you ever seen the Buffalo Skull wall, dude.
Yeah.
Like a fucking bone temple.
Yeah.
Tiny, tiny little person.
Did you watch the new bone temple movie?
That one was apparently really good.
It was very good.
You have to watch the first one first.
but yeah, it's good.
It's like a good series, I guess.
Yeah,
watch 28 years later.
Do I need to watch that one before?
Okay.
It's a very good idea.
You have to watch 28 years later
and then you can watch Bone Temple.
It's directly related.
There's not like a huge time gap
with a different story like the other ones.
It like picks up right where it left off.
But left,
the reviews were fucking stellar.
Also, Cody watched our movie.
Dang.
On her left.
Project Hail Mary.
Project Hall-Mari.
I thought it was really good, man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
See?
Conner's lame.
Good movie.
And then Connor, yeah, Conner's being old negative Nancy over here.
It's not the good of a movie.
Yes, it is.
I will say it's pretty good.
So you're going to forget it in like a year.
I'm like, I do that to most movies, frankly, but that doesn't mean they're not good.
I did hate, I was reading like some tweet or something.
And it was talking about that.
And then the top comment was like, the puppetry was really good.
I was like, Hannah.
Hannah.
But the puppetry.
We're in the theater.
Me and Hannah.
It's like, we're like the old.
only ones in this movie that your hand just leans over you realize that rock is autistic right and
I just fucking start dying it's 100% accurate amaze amaze that's why all the space
I do not like that name I like that name with this naming the planet that is a stupid
name because they call it like oh I forgot about that rock it's 100% autistic
of the more autistic that movie is.
He's 100%.
I will 3D print you a tunnel so you can walk.
What is this?
Stop touching shit, Rocky.
He's like the second he has his little thing.
He's just like, what is this?
What is this?
Oh, oh, oh.
I want some personal space here.
I picture this.
They watch each other sleep to wake up, right?
It's autism.
Is it really?
We're talking about your favorite movie.
The puppetry.
Oh, my fucking God.
Cody, what did you think?
Cody, what did you think of it?
I thought it was a really good movie.
It's so okay.
You know, everybody on the planet's wrong.
Connor's right.
It's true.
It's like the most seven out of ten movie that's ever been...
I think he upgraded that.
I think he's upgraded it since.
I think he's coming around.
Everybody talks about it.
That's a great goddamn movie that's ever been pretty about a fucking film.
It's so fucking okay.
I'm not.
saying it's bad. I'm saying it's fine. You seem to be very angry about it.
It's the okayest movie ever. Cue the mom, Dami.
Yeah, the godfather.
The fucking Star Wars, John.
What's that movie called? No Man Sky? What's it called?
No country for old men?
No.
What is this dumbass rock movie?
I already forgot the name of
Hell Mary.
Project Hill Mary.
Yeah, it's okay.
It's named after a Tupac song.
I think it's after the prayer.
Which came first?
The movie.
The mother of God.
It's named after this
movie.
Because it's so goddamn
great, apparently.
Like in the rock.
It was controlled by a
guy who gives us
maybe she knew how good this movie was going to be
Jesus
the puppy true well
the angel Gabriel came down from heaven
and said you're not going to believe this
in 2026 a guy's going to control a rock alien
and everybody's going to talk about it like it's the
greatest thing that ever happened
he's literally the soy jack with the glasses
that just flying and screaming
I'm the soy jack
with the non-reddit opinion that the movie's fucking okay
I hope you get to the pearly gates and they're watching it because this is the favorite movie.
I will say the amount of Redditors, like, just the cringe types that are just obsessed with this movie is starting to fucking kill it for me.
It does ruin it.
Amaze, amaze.
It's like, dude, shut to fuck.
Just enjoy the movie.
Oh, welcome to Team Trout.
I said it was a good movie.
You're like, you're not allowed to enjoy it.
It was mid.
That's not what I said.
I reiterate, it's okay.
Calm down before you pass out.
Wait, what was the way?
Pause. Here, go over here real quick with him.
I was saying, it's the same thing that ruined
Batman, Heath Ledger's role in Batman.
You know what I mean? The people that were
annoyingly obsessed about that in the movie theater shooting, but yeah.
Don't even remember that. I remember the figure.
Aurora, Aurora, Colorado. But that was the third.
But he was, wasn't he dressed up like the Joker, though?
No, you just had a gas mask and everything in because he threw a
crazy, like color hair and shit.
I thought he was dressed like the Joker.
Yeah, I think so.
No, he just said like died here, I think.
I swore he bore a gas mask the entire time, right?
I don't, I don't think so.
I think people conflate it thinking that he, like, thought, like, I'm the joker, baby.
I don't think shooter from Dark Night rises.
So he had tear gas canisters.
That's why I thought he had a gas mask on.
What the fuck do you get tear gas out?
They spared him the death penalty by a single vote.
Fuck that guy.
Or cow.
So he's wearing tack gear, gas mask, and bust.
body armor and deployed canisters to
Reese a gas-like substance before
firing into the audience. You can just cut that part
out. But yeah, that's what I swore. I was like...
He was decorated with Batman,
or his apartment was decorated
with Batman paraphernalia, quote
unquote. I don't know what the fuck that means. Oh, and then he had
orange. He had orange hair.
He'd kill that guy.
Oh, apparently, oh, David, uh, what, Aragon?
Eragon, maybe. An actor from the MTV
television series, Pimp My Ride, stated that Holmes
called him twice the month before the
shooting took place.
He was the writer, director, and the star of the then-upcoming film titled The Suffocator of Sins,
which depicts a vigilante who shoots criminals, and Aragon claimed that Holmes showed interest
in the movie's trailer.
That's weird.
What a weird note.
And then how do you get his number?
1-800 pimp my ride.
Oh, but, Connor, what was the argument you were having with Brandon the other day?
Betlaw.
The meter with...
Here you go, Connie.
Oh.
Oh, my God, dude.
Dude, no, I'm gonna get fucking fired up.
He was screaming at me.
Because you're wrong.
Let me grab my drink.
What did I just walk into?
There's this fucking game.
And I can't remember what it's called.
Chase, I love making you work.
Pull up the picture of this game I don't know the name of.
You'll text me in two weeks asking me about it.
But there's a wheel.
I've seen it on like YouTube shorts and shit.
It's a big fun game.
No, no, there's a little, a little like ratchety wheel that you spin, and it gives you a gradient of points.
So it's like two points, two points, three points, three points, four points.
And it's a left versus right thing.
So let's say hypothetically, before I get to the argument that I have with Brandon, it would be like, I don't even know, things that are white, things that are black.
You spin the wheel without looking at it.
well that would be in the middle because some people are white and some people are black but you you
one person who has spun the wheel reveals where that gradient is so let's say it's like yeah like
three quarters of the way on the black side so you look at that and then you tell the other person
an item or an idea that will get them to guess because they they turn a dial that where they think
you're sitting on this gradient.
So I'm saying this thing's like...
It's called the mind reading, a wavelength.
The mind reading party game.
So something that's like more black than white, but it's not white.
It's not black.
It's, you know, like here.
So I would say like an Oreo, an Oreo cookie.
It's mostly black, but there's white in it.
So, yeah, 75%.
Great.
Or like 33.
Yeah.
Because two thirds of an Oreo cookie is black and one third is white.
Okay.
Boom.
There we go.
And then you reveal and then the person who guessed gets the points.
We had a card because Brandon and I play this when we are bored.
Just in passing.
Totally platonic board game playing.
Yeah.
Well, dude, the relationship.
Versus intimate board game.
Dude,
Monopoly just fucks me.
Like boardwalk.
I don't know what I'm willing to pay for that.
You owe me rent.
So my life friend.
Connor. Plotonic male life partner. I'm going for that hotel. Oddly enough, doing it.
My head pulls out the hair band. Oh, too much teeth. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
Community chest, you say. All right. Go ahead. So, I don't even remember what the card was.
Oh, no, it was illegal and prohibited. Illegal and prohibited. Okay, so on the scale, let me, I'm trying to
remember from the perspective of the camera.
Prohibited.
Correct.
Okay, so something that would be very illegal is over here, something that is prohibited
is over here.
I am of the belief, correct, belief that the middle point is where things, and show agrees
with me, she will, I will ask her to confirm.
She's Irish.
Yeah.
Car bomb.
Prohibited.
Things that are...
Mildly for a debate.
They're illegal.
Things that are illegal would be on the illegal side.
And then the center point is where things transition
into things that are prohibited, but not illegal.
I see it as a spectrum, but all right.
Yeah.
Brandon's certainly on the spectrum.
So...
New who, original joke.
Fuck you.
Dude, I brought a screwdriver on the center.
I was wondering about that.
This shit gets hot.
Illegal, prohibited.
The score range, 2-2-334 in the center, is like over here, the gradient.
So I'm trying to suggest something to get Brandon to put the needle where that would be before we reveal that's where that gradient is.
This is either going to be one of the most just controversial bits of the podcast or nobody's going to give a shit about this.
Nobody's going to give a shit.
But I'm very passionate about it.
So, gradients here, I said,
not putting your shopping cart back when you leave the grocery store.
Just being a fucking asshole, you unload your shopping cart,
and then you just kind of push it off to the front side.
You don't put it back in the little corral.
Brandon, in his infinite fucking wisdom,
says, or puts it over here on the illegal side.
No, I did not.
Yes, you f*** not.
Now we're to, oh, my fucking God.
There is no fucking way.
Jamie, pull up the picture.
Brandon suggested it would be,
there.
No
way.
No chance.
I would bet
quite a lot on this.
Oh,
yeah,
yeah.
Wait, yes.
You don't even
fucking remember
what side of the
argument you're on.
You were wrong as
no,
let me pull this
shit up.
When was that?
You don't know
how to work on those.
This is what I was like,
wait.
I'm sure you'd
like that fucking
Korean shopload.
They're together.
Like,
I know,
let's film.
I want you to not.
No, no, no, no, here it is.
I felt like, hold us.
This is exactly what your neighbors think you guys are doing in that house.
I accidentally might have implied that to one of the neighbors.
That did happen.
Oh, wait, I can't play the audio on this because I said words.
I'm not going to say on YouTube.
Two of them.
One starts with an F, one starts something.
They were back to back.
Funny enough.
Prohibited illegal.
Okay, yeah, there I was.
On the prohibited side, Chase I will send this to you without audio.
and then you get
Oh yeah you're right
He guessed fully prohibited
He didn't even remember
That's still
My point
My point fucking stands
You dumbass
That's not the most
prohibited thing you can do
That's not illegal
But it is the farthest away
from illegal
Because if you're right on the border
Of illegal and prohibited
It's something that's almost
illegal
No
Everything that's illegal is on the illegal side
Everything that's prohibited
Is on the...
Thank you
Everything that's illegal
is prohibited
You dumb thing
idiots, kissing your sister on the mouth is legal, but it's much more prohibited than not
putting your shopping cart back. Are we peeking the mic yet? By your logic, perfectly up and down
between prohibited and illegal would be perfectly legal. By your logic. Yes. It's neither
prohibited. That's stupid. I think that's stupid. It's a scale. It's a scale. It's legal. And
illegal is over here. So what would be between the two things? Something.
that is neither illegal nor
prohibited. That's how the fucking
game works. That doesn't make a sense.
We need to bar you from echelon.
Oh my God. No, this is espresso.
Every night. Oh,
that's that me espresso. Love you, Sabrina.
If you're watching, I'll fuck you.
I volunteer myself as tribute.
She's gonna get synthet.
How about we solve the argument
and just pull up the instructions
for the game? Now, if you
follow the instructions to a board game,
Oh, that nothing says I know I'm wrong.
Like, please don't pull up the instructions.
I agree.
I agree.
Yeah, let's pull out the instructions.
Hmm.
This is a good segment.
This segment of the podcast is called Brandon Googles the rules to a board game.
Legal?
Legal?
Prohibited.
Illegal.
It's not illegal, legal,
legal prohibited.
You're implying that all of the things on both sides of the scale are illegal.
It stops in the fucking middle.
Where it becomes.
prohibited. So the closer you get to
illegal, the more prohibited
it is, and then it becomes mildly
illegal.
Remember my black versus
white argument?
Remember my black versus white argument.
Hold on.
We're going to pull up the rules. Now I'm invested.
Now I'm invested.
Because it's shit like hot and cold.
I was like Nick's here.
Here's the way. Here's the
here's how you know you're fucking wrong.
So like the example they gave is hot and cold.
Okay.
So hot on this side, cold on this side.
Correct.
And then let's say, no, let's say, just shut the fuck up.
You had your monologue.
If your example is, okay, perfectly illegal, perfectly legal would be in the middle.
So it's opposite.
It gets to the middle.
Yeah, like perfectly opposite.
One second.
Perfectly opposite of hot would be cold, which would be in the middle.
But it's hot, cold.
Meaning they meet in the middle.
That's room fucking temperature.
No, so you would say that things.
Things that were cold were on the right hand side, but things that were hot are on the left hand side.
I love watching Connor know he's losing an argument.
I'm not losing this fucking argument.
The comments will show.
If you're watching this comment, timestamp, only fans.
So what was the confirmation on those rules then there?
He was right.
No, you didn't change the f***ing rules.
Who is the designer of this game?
Can we get them to weigh in?
I would really love the designer of this game to weigh in.
What?
You're suggesting by your implication that it should be all the way to the right prohibited.
It is absolutely in no way illegal, but it is prohibited.
So, nothing beyond that.
Ipso facto, Brandon Herrera is suggesting you should kiss your sister on the mouth.
Because that's fine.
Nothing's more prohibited.
That would be more on the fucking prohibitive side.
Actually, no, I would say that's closer to illegal.
Because in a lot of states, you can't fucking...
No, that's...
Dogf-dog.
That's all the way to the...
That's illegal!
Yeah, that would be...
It's...
It's both...
Fucking dumb, me idiot!
Wait, so it's legal to f*** dogs?
No, but it's not prohibited.
And on that note...
That's my second...
Dog joke in the past two podcasts like gone.
Poor Bo.
Don't...
Don't put that evil on the stage.
Yeah, welcome back to fucking Texas, brother.
And that's how you end the podcast.
Buy him.
Are we really ending?
That's the perfect outro in my opinion.
Bye, everyone.
Thank you for joining.
