I can see his Google search history.
And this dude is the loneliest scammer in the history of scammers.
He was trying to start a stable of hose.
Hey, you might see my wiener. Sorry.
All right, unsub. For this episode, we're going to break out our special community Kool-Aid.
Eli did 9-11?
Say the N-word.
Oh, my God.
Say hi to Eli.
He's racially ambiguous, Brandon.
His hair is f***ing.
A fabulous donut
A dark joke disposition
And there's a fat electrician

Oh, man.
I trimmed my nails recently, so that was much harder than I expected.
And that was pretty embarrassing.
You guys, crick me.
First time that statement has ever been said on this podcast.
Don Frye intensified.
Dang it's John right now.
He can feel it in the air.
Human resources
needs a word with this man
I'll kick this bitch off
Hi everyone, welcome to the unsubscribe
podcast. I was joined today by
Eli Double Tap, Ryan Kelly,
Brandon Herrera, myself,
Donut Operator, thank you so much for being here.
We'll see you in the next one.
Bye, guys.
That was fun.
Don Frye is currently coming to kill
Ryan, right? Yeah, I'm not going to make
it very far or long.
It's like the Apple Alert.
Don Fry has your location.
it's that one that it's the uh the this air tag is following you but it shows a picture of
don't it's like you know what's a mustache is just following you it's like i'm so sorry don fry
becomes encrypted yeah what's up brother how are you doing this has been we're all
confused of i was like man where did ryan come from who was the one that suggested this at first
and then it was like oh you talk to cody you're trying to figure out who to pin it on yeah sorry
And then we all were like, holy shit, yes, we do watch this guy's content.
Oh, my God, yeah, Ryan.
Oh, fuck, yeah.
This will be a fun one.
Well, thanks.
And that's, that's, that's, so many people know me from so many different weird names that I've
gone by.
So it's, uh, I feel like I should clarify just for the audience.
Like, I'm not a real youth pastor.
I just look like one.
And it's unfortunate.
I went to Christian school.
Amen, brother.
Right?
Yeah.
Went to Christian school for like 18 years.
I just became the most generic looking white guy.
So it was just like, you give me an acoustic guitar game over, you know?
Just funny because we have actually had a youth pastor on the podcast several times.
Really?
Okay, Wendigoon.
Wendigood.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, that's cool.
I forgot about that.
Sunday school teacher.
Whatever, the crossover.
It's a Venn diagram and it's all right there.
Yeah.
I did not realize, yeah.
You're like, generate NPC character.
You're the white guy.
I have the easiest.
I have the easiest time starting any RPG because it's like, yep, that's perfect.
I don't like that.
Every time.
I literally, I started working for a company called Portal One and they do like mobile game stuff,
but they also do shows.
and I pulled up their app for the first time.
I swear to God, it was a guy in black jeans and a red flannel
exactly like I used to wear constantly.
And I was like, did you guys just hire me
because I look like the character?
They were like, no, this is just so unfortunate for you.
So what all style of content?
Because as you were just saying,
I didn't even know about the scamming stuff.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's how I found him was the scamming stuff.
I was about saying.
I thought you reached out because of that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, then he does
his dude, he's Nick Love on
History. Oh yeah. Well, not quite there. But I mean
I, I love messing with companies
and that's been such a treat. Because
that's where I first found you. It was like the Volkswagen
stuff that, hey buddy, hey buddy,
yeah. I guess as soon as
because we were talking about it a little bit before the show. So I'm like
who the, like, I just look at the name. I'm like,
God, who the fuck are we? What? Oh,
this guy. That one. Yeah.
The one that has made his agent's life for
brand deals impossible. Like, that's
the guy. Yeah, no. I
I do so many company videos, and then I'll try to do other history as well as like sometimes
international weird news because I love to drop into the voices or things like that.
But otherwise, it's the scam busting stuff, which that started about a year and a half, two
years ago.
I guess, gosh, probably two and a half now.
Yeah, I use, so I have my master's degree in Homeland Security.
And I use the techniques for like Ocent as well as cyber and social engineering to be able to
play the scammers off against each other and then make them think that they're.
that they're scamming me while I'm scamming them.
What is OScent?
Open source intelligence.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
So there's a whole OScent framework that you can walk through to be able to find good
information about people that you have like a general idea of online.
That anybody could find, essentially.
Yes.
It just takes a long time and you got to walk through it.
And it's, uh,
the more you do it though,
the faster you'll.
Absolutely.
Why you'll have like people like habitual when they're talking about certain missile programs
or whatever, he'll say things like,
oh, this is like, this is like, I'm not breaking.
this, you can Google it.
Like, that's...
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I swear, I promise this is out there.
And that's a lot of it.
But sometimes it gets really interesting because, you know, sometimes you're borrowing
IPs or you're doing a man in the middle attack to be able to, especially for scammers
that are like threatening victims.
Well, I would like them to sweat instead.
And so we've had a couple of those that are really fun.
Would that?
Yeah.
Dude, and just for reference, he has it where he can tell the individual what side of the bed they
sleep on, right?
there are there programs and people that have reached out to me that I've gotten to work with that there was one for a geolocation service that it would get your phone down to three centimeters and so if you had a leaky device that's a lot yeah yeah yeah yeah so two dudes apart is that right now it uh they they gave me some access to it and there was someone who was threatening a person who reached out to me and so I pulled their IPs and
I pulled their device.
I used a couple different systems, and then I ran it through their software.
I could tell you where this guy stopped to get gas on his way home.
My favorite was, though, was being able to tell him, hey, this is the pump you used.
And also, you sleep on the left side of the bed.
Stop.
That dude never contacted that person again because it was just fun.
It was just so much fun to be able to, like, screw with them.
It is the deterrence.
Deterance doesn't work.
It does.
That is a great example of, like, here.
But what are you going to, you sleep on the left side and you just went to this gas station, this is your pump?
I'm just going to go be quiet other way like that.
Is this, a lot of these people, are they like foreign or is it domestic or what?
So it's a mix of a whole bunch of things.
And that's, that's what's weird.
And I was actually talking about.
Dude, this is fucking crazy to listen to.
So I am working on, I've actually started applying and I've got a college that's interested in, I'm looking to get my PhD, specifically in fraud to be able to, and tracking this.
And my dissertation is on the, for some reason, the localization of fraud techniques, which you wouldn't expect.
So, for instance, you guys are on a podcast.
I'm sure you get the emails all the time.
Hey, do you want to be on this podcast?
It comes from a Gmail.
Those are exclusively from Pakistan, exclusively.
Interesting.
Now, why?
Now, they're looking to steal both the accounts.
They're looking, by the way, Facebook and Metas, they have the worst, most glitchy, what's called business, like account manager.
and it's very easy to break.
I can break it in 20 minutes, maybe.
It's embarrassing.
But they will break that.
They will take control of your accounts.
They will then post a whole bunch of things
that are supposed to piss people off,
rile them up.
It's disinformation, which they're intentionally doing,
but also they're making money from it
from all the hard work that you guys have put into it.
Now, they do that all the time,
but that is exclusively Pakistan.
And if it works, why would it exclusively come from there?
Why is extortion almost exclusively from Nigeria?
Why are shipping scams mostly in the U.S.?
Why?
I'm trying to think there's even more,
but it's like pig butchering, heavily in Southeast Asia.
India.
Yeah.
We have a list.
Yeah.
We have quite a few.
And that's the interesting thing, India, so you ever get the PayPal scam where it's a,
it's a fake receipt, but it looks real?
And then they've got a number.
So they're trying to use you call that number.
That is a fake Indian call center and almost always out of India.
And it's a scam.
Now, they're all localized.
If for something so global, why would these techniques always lead back to the same places?
It's because it's their training centers.
It's the governments and illegal bodies that are operating there that are teaching them specifically why to do it this way.
Now, you said governments.
That's very interesting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Like, what's the objective there?
What's the stated goal?
Like Russia, what they do?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, it's just targeting the United States or American?
No, no, no.
Like, what's the –
Not even – I mean, it definitely – there's parts that target America.
Obviously, Russia is notorious for their –
for their bot farms and I was telling Eli about it earlier that part in Superman where you see the monkeys typing on the thing that's the closest to real life part of that entire movie because like as crazy as it sounds the people that build bot farms are actually incredibly talented and that's why you can't really find a really good like you couldn't find a service to do it they're specialized in that and so some people will do it to the states some people will do it to other countries like it happens all over the world but it is designed specifically for disinformation in certain cases or in other cases just to make the most amount of money.
I mean, you see all this fake ads, the fake, like, news articles.
That's a billion-dollar industry.
So it's fascinating that way where...
Or especially astro-turfing.
Astro-turfing, yeah.
I see a lot of that going, oh, wait, astro-turfing as far as...
Do you mean with, like, what's it called, fake protests and things like that?
Yeah, yeah, different stuff where they're just like, there is no controversy.
Now, on every post they do, there's 75% of the comments are about this controversy.
Then real people then look at it, like, oh, wow, there's a controversy.
So you just invent.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, you've completely fabricated a controversy out of something that didn't exist.
And you've made people angry.
Yeah, Reddit does it.
I mean, across the board.
It's one of the hardest things is now when I see a post or, hey, this individual is replying this way, my first thought is this, is this even a person?
Is this?
We've made it 10 fucking minutes in the podcast.
We're already at dead internet theory.
I know.
That's the thing.
It sucks because you're like, wait, is this trying to rile me up?
Because look at all these internet comments from this one response and this name does not seem like a name somebody to create.
And they just did their job because even me sitting there for like one second, two seconds, like, is this real?
I'm not going to reply either way.
What should I do?
I'm like, oh, we did get to dead.
Also, by the way, I'm the idiot that when you said Astro-Turfing.
I was talking about fake news articles.
And I was like, yeah, they do a lot of Astro-Turfing ads.
And I was like, they do?
They're a big fan.
They hate real grass.
You're just a fucking shill for grass.
Look at this sod, like that's, yeah.
This fucking big lawn guy.
Big lawn.
You're just a sucker for big lawn.
So that's an interesting thing that you mentioned to is like the fake, like fake comments, fake engagement, fake protest that we know that they happen.
And what's interesting is like, so I reach, because I do all my stuff against like companies that have terrible histories, I reached out to a company not too long ago who claims they can make your event look any way that you want.
The fuck does that mean?
Oh, it means that like.
Oh, do you want a, for instance, kind of exactly what you mean.
Do you want a protest about something?
Even if it's something that nobody cares about or it's not even real, they can fake it for you.
They've faked it for, like, businesses.
They faked it for people that are like coming in foreign dignitaries that they just want to make themselves look good.
I reached out to them pretending to be, and I should keep this pretty vague because I haven't gotten to hit this company yet.
I'm excited.
But I said that our state was passing a law that I was against, which by the way, the law,
made it so that the age of 18 is when you can get married because the state was having a lot
of trafficking.
And so I was like, no, we're actually, we're against that.
We don't like that.
And we'd like to fix it.
And so, and I'm like, yeah, it should be as young.
It's 14.
Easy.
Like, why are we not doing this?
And they were like, we can absolutely help you with this.
We can definitely get you a protest.
We can show you how to do it.
We will work with you on it.
I was just like, no soul whatsoever.
Nothing at all.
It was crazy, man.
I understand a lot of these laws, like, were in a completely different time.
It's like, you know, that life expectancy was 50.
You know, you were getting married on the farm back in, like, the fucking 1880s,
and, like, these are all holdovers.
But, like, to actively lobby to keep it that way is, like, a fucking bizarre.
It's kind of crazy, right?
And the reason why I picked that is I was like, I feel like, and of course, even in the state that it was, it passed unanimously.
Everyone was like, no, we're good.
This is, we can stop this now.
Yeah.
But what state was it?
Well, yeah.
So I'm, and I'm from.
Yeah, we can beat that part out if you need, if you want your plan.
Let us know how to edit around that.
I might.
I'll explain more of it later, but it's, uh, yeah, dude, it's, it's an interesting thing where
you see all that stuff.
There's so much fakeness as far as bots and with everything.
And then, you know, gosh, all of our comment sections, how much of it is just real?
You never know.
And especially like platforms like TikTok, I mean, the first 18 comments are going to be all,
they're going to repeat my caption to me and then say something vaguely about it.
And then it's going to get a whole bunch of fake likes because it's porn bots.
So that's just, yeah.
Have you seen those, the, the fake TikToks that they, they pointed out,
like, it was a set that they had built and it was in China.
And it was all these, like, these white women basically saying, like,
this is why I'm independent.
I don't need a man.
I don't need children.
I don't need all these things.
It's basically like, basically tearing down the family structure of the United States.
And they're like, wait a minute.
And they started zooming in on shit in the background.
And the labels were all in Chinese.
It's freaking Huawei in the background.
Yeah.
Like, wait a fuck.
in minute and it's like it's just that astro-turfing of belief so i haven't seen that yet but that's i mean
nothing shocks me it's it's how they're doing it right now even with some of the um hey look there was
we let in illegal immigrants or immigrants into this country look at how this section is now
and they're just using it out of context yes some are it's like hey japan hey this is on the
specific street in japan this is actually what's going on but some they're just using
how this immigration is treating this part right now oh and then comments everyone's pissed off
like holy shit this is why you don't do this and then you go deeper and it's like wait this isn't
even in that country this is actually in this country i've seen a lot of those now where they do
it's it's jokingly they like zoom in on a random part of like fucking bumfuck alabama and they
use footage from switzerland yeah yeah like oh you're from you think huntsville's a shithole
well, what about this?
And it's all shit from Europe?
Yes, absolutely.
Yeah, it's just so crazy where you're just like, oh, man, well, and nothing, you know,
it's easy for us to, like, we're getting trained to see it.
Obviously, younger generations are.
But even then, Gen Z is more likely to get scammed than boomers are at this point,
which is crazy.
Like, there's been statistics and studies on it because they're on devices more.
And so I see way more of that when people reach out to me.
It's crazy.
That being said, all the new AI stuff absolutely will one shot any boomer that comes
It's hard for me to tell some of the time.
Dude, absolutely.
Yeah.
We haven't.
I've been waiting because on say hi,
we didn't get to talk about any of this shit.
And I was like,
fucking God damn.
This is,
oh,
this is what I want to talk about.
But this is how we got here.
Well,
just keep that shelf for unsub.
And I'll just be super excited for fucking the unsub episode.
Now we're going to talk about this shit.
Because it is,
it's one point.
It is the AI.
I was showing him the Will Smith 2020.
Yeah,
the spaghetti.
Yeah.
Yeah.
To 2025.
And it is.
Like one, you show anyone up until 2020, hey, here's Will Smith eating spaghetti.
Not a single person would doubt that's not what that was.
It's like, oh, okay.
Cool.
Where did you get that?
Yeah.
That's it.
When the first edition is him just like vomiting it out and his hands are turning into spaghetti.
Will Smith and spaghetti are involved.
Yeah.
I can confirm both are true.
It almost feels like one of those
One of the ones where the CAPTCHAs
Where you're like, is Will Smith and Spaghetti in this?
Maybe.
I think.
Yeah, I'm going with that one.
Oh, cool.
Now I can't access my bank account for three days.
Today's unsubscribe episode is brought to you by booking.com.
Booking dot yeah.
Cody, how much do we have to travel?
We travel a lot.
Actually, with the live tours, we use booking.com to set up everything as we go on this.
journey of life. Because God knows it's a lot of travel and anything to make it easier is much appreciated.
Brandon, so when you have to book for your partner, but they only want 800 thread count sheets.
Oh, that's easy, Eli. Get a new partner. No, go to booking.com. Oh. Before we had any sort of relationship
with booking.com, I have used the service before. Genuinely, sometimes they have really good deals.
One of the great things about booking.com is it provides really accurate reviews, like really detailed
reviews. It saved me once.
Cody, did you use booking.com when we stayed
at that sweet vacation home?
Heck yeah. What else would I use other than
booking.com? Find exactly what you're
booking for. Booking.com.
Booking dot, yeah. Book today on the site or the app.
What got you into the scam
side of everything? What was that? Like, oh, I'm actually going to do
content about this. So, and this, I'm glad you asked that
because this is the most important part of it. I got scammed.
Oh. And yeah, because everybody thinks that they
can't get scammed. But you're married to her now. Yeah, I know, I know. That's very, yeah. No, she's
playing the long game. I got to be honest. He redeemed, Damon. Yeah. I'm back. Yeah. No, if anyone
got scammed, poor girl, she's so sweet. Yeah. I, oh, yeah, so I, because everybody can get
scammed. And the craziest thing about it is like, you never see, it was Jim Browning, I want to say,
the guy that's very famous on YouTube for busting up scams. He lost his YouTube account for a while
because they were able to get through
in a way that he didn't expect
and, you know, props to him that he talked about it
because, like, yeah, anybody can get scammed.
I was getting ready to move from Los Angeles back to Missouri
and needed to have my car shipped.
And so I went through a real company
that was 100% verified
and they accidentally put me in contact with the scammer.
And so, you know, half up front, half at the end,
and I lost $712.50.
Now, comedians were not known for making a lot of money.
And so that sucked.
And I was like, uh-oh, and I just bought my engagement ring, too.
So I was like, I was not in the right place for that.
And I was so pissed off.
And I was like, wait, you know what?
I have my master's in Homeland Security.
And I got enough time and I'm very angry.
So by the end of the first day, I had their driver's license.
I had their home address.
I had their phone numbers.
I had their emails.
And I knew they lived out of Indiana.
And so I called their local FBI field office.
And I go, hey, guys, would you mind going and picking this person up?
And they go, why do you have all this information?
And I explained to them the scam.
And I swear to God, the desk agent at the FBI goes, dude, I just got scammed that way.
Are you kidding me?
Do you know how crazy that is to go to the person who you need help from?
And they're like, that happens to us all, man.
Like, that was.
I just think about like the other side of that is imagine scamming the FBI.
Bad idea.
Bad, yeah.
I wouldn't recommend it.
No.
And that's the thing is a lot of these guys take shots on people that they don't know.
who they are and like that's a dangerous game
my friend. Obviously look at you
day one
I know how to bury him
fucking imagine Liam Liam Mason
I'm like the wafiest Liam Mason
ever like he doesn't seem
threatening you didn't it
I had a particular set of skills
that make me a nightmare for a person
like you imagine shoving somebody
at a bar and then they turn around they've got two
cauliflower ears and you're like
aw no
I'm gonna be in a lot of pain and
Yeah.
They're about to fold me and I'm the laundry.
Well, sir, I'm going to start my three-part apology by.
Love the ears, by the way.
What was the next?
Okay, you got all that information.
You called the FBI.
What happened to that guy?
Called them.
And again, I don't, okay, I've got a story on where I did find out what happened to some people.
And that's, that was interesting.
I, so for a lot of these things, I give them the information, like, whoever it is,
whoever's either the victim or I called their local police and things like that,
give it to them. In this case, gave it to him. Contacted the company.
The company wasn't going to do anything about it. They were pretty terrible about it.
I made videos explaining how I walked through everything. And they gave me my money back.
They were very like, okay, he's reached a lot of people. Please stop doing that.
What was the company?
Oh, gosh, I don't even remember the name of the company off the top of my head. I'd tell you if I did.
It's in a video, though. I'll have to pull it. But yeah, we did that. Got my, got my,
got my $712.50 back, but because millions of people had seen the video, I started getting
absurd amounts of emails from people going, hey, can you help me? Hey, can you help me? And since then,
I've gotten over 8, 9,000 submissions for this type of thing. And it's been really fun to be able to
hit that back. So it has great content. It was so much fun. It was great. But the craziest start
like a harem of your own dudes that like, follow me up on this. Yeah. Please go off.
Just more than dudes. Yeah. You should just start a harrow with dudes.
Okay, what's the rest of your story?
It was very, yeah, Brandon just one of the harem of dudes.
Yeah, very intentional.
If you just have like a bunch of people that also have these skills that have a similar background,
that you're like, all right, I just want 10% off the top.
I've got all these people coming to me for them.
You can each make your own content doing the same fucking scamming shit.
Brandon, we just call those organizations.
No, it's a harem.
I was proud to use harem.
he's going to make him all wear skirts and beat him
raw and leather the whole time is that normal
it doesn't feel normal
Brandon's boys and they're like
well don't make it gay
you said harum brother
when you said a harum of dudes
guys just can't hang out with their bros anymore
whatever I always wish that and that is the thing
it's like if you could if you made dumb money
what would you do I would absolutely fund an org
of those guys and we would just hunt these guys
Because it's, it's so much fun.
It's so satisfying.
Also, like, whenever I do it, I always do it pro bono for any type of people because they've already lost money.
You know what I mean?
And I can't guarantee anything.
And that's the tough thing is once the money's gone, it's really hard to catch it or get it back.
We have had some success, though, with crypto being able to freeze it when it's moving from a cold wallet to a hot wallet and being able to, like, say, buy, bans.
Buy, buy, buy, why am I forgetting the name of this?
Just know that one of the companies.
And, like, you can get it frozen there.
And that's really cool.
And then sent back to the original.
Binance, thank you.
I don't know why I was like stroking out there for a second.
Sorry, guys, my code reset.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Yeah, turn me off, turn me back on.
It's pretty much that.
Don't repeat that.
Anyway, back to the harem.
Yeah.
The harem will help you with that.
Yeah, yeah.
The harem's really good at it.
Yeah, they got quite the cycle going.
Brandon's boys.
He's like, stop calling him back.
That's not my her name.
Dirty Mike and the boys?
Dirty Mike and the boys?
Yes.
Yeah.
dirty mic of the boys yeah thanks for the f shack right yeah we will be back for your
Prius was it the Prius yeah you can't keep us out of your Prius son yes what an on threat yeah
very specific I uh the one of the crazier ones that I had was so it was the scam out of a call
center in India PayPal faking it I got on the phone with them in so many different voices I mean
I'd tell you what, I was having a blast.
It was, they were not having a good time.
It's like, no, tell me more about this.
I want to know.
And it's like other things, like, I'll tell you what.
I mean, I'm bouncing off everything.
I've called them back probably eight times at this point.
Every time they give me a little more information or I pull different information from
them to figure out where they're at.
And I find out where they're at.
And I send it to like, I felt the FBI's IC3 form, which they're not going to be able
to do anything about it.
But I'm annoyed.
So I sent it over to the Indian government.
I found the email for their cybercrimes division
and I sent all this information to him
and I was like, that's never going to do anything.
Cut to six to eight months later.
I am doing it.
I'm performing for colleges.
That's what I normally do is I tour colleges
for a stand-up.
I'm performing colleges
and I'm in the middle of nowhere, Virginia.
And I get off stage and I'm meeting, greeting with people
and they're all very sweet.
And this guy comes up to me and he's like a 6-4 Indian kid.
He's much bigger than me, which isn't hard to do,
but he did it anyway.
Very large indeed.
Yeah, he's a very big kid.
And he goes, hey, man.
I go, hey, what's your name?
And he goes, A.K.
And I was like, like, what about what we were talking about here?
I was like, nice to meet you, AK.
And he goes, by the way, you put six of my friends in jail.
Good.
And yeah, it turns out they busted up that call center.
And he knew the people, he knew some of the people that were there.
And one of them still on the run in the Chennai district is what he told me at the time.
And so, yeah, weird.
Because I normally don't get to see the outcome of it.
What was one of the better?
What was one that just?
the craziest one you had to deal with like hey we got this but this was the story that set it up
and then they gave this much money but here was the outcome from it oh dude i mean the craziest
one is so there's there's kind of two answers to this um the craziest one where we got a lot
of details out of them and had a little fun with it is a uh a guy that was pretending to be hairy
styles trying to like catfish girls and he's he's he's trying to get these girls and so a girl
email me and she was like, hey, this is the guy he's pretending to be Harry
Siles, have fun. I was like, I bet they're Harry Siles had like a bunch
of little symbols and asterous and shit over it.
Well, you want to FaceTime?
I can't, babe. I'm sick. I'll go out of concert right now.
Oh, dude, my camera's broken. I don't have the phone that has a camera on it.
Brother, that is literally exactly to a T what it was. I mean, like, he's like, oh, yeah,
I'm in the studio right now. And I pulled his IP. No, you're not. I don't know that, I don't
know that Harry Stiles has ever filmed in the studio
in Lagos. Okay? Like that's not
one time happened.
I just don't know how you admit
to that. Admit to falling for
that to get somebody to help you. Because like I
if I got catfished by fake
Sidney who had a really thick Indian
accent and sounded like a dude,
I don't think you could waterboard that.
Where's your money go, Brandon?
I bought a hooker's.
Yes, I did. And drug.
I did. I did
all drugs. I did sex with the drug.
and had a lot of hooker smoke.
Vegas lost.
Vegas lost.
Vegas.
Vegas.
She had great jeans.
So thankfully,
this person didn't get scammed by it.
They were just, like, targeted by it.
So thankfully, but, well, you know, hopefully.
Yeah.
That they told you.
Yeah, that's true.
I sent this to him four weeks ago.
Yeah.
And by the way, I wasn't going to tell anybody.
Okay.
Yeah.
I think Harry Styles is it Harry Styles?
I don't think so.
I pull his IP and then I'm like okay well that's fun but like what if we pulled more
you know so you guys familiar with what a man in the middle attack is it is exactly what it sounds
it's tower kind of in a weird way you're not super wrong you're more right than you're wrong
person in the middle is getting fucked right yeah tell me I'm wrong just go back to the
harem the man's in the middle yeah well the man's are on all sides actually that's just that's just
a bunch of dudes being bros man it's brain and causes it had it yeah
I was just going to say, oh, you thought two guys was the devil's three.
The trifecta.
Oh, so, uh.
What we're talking about?
Yeah, this bit roasting dudes, apparently.
Or as Tony calls it, Thursday.
Sorry, that was just cheap.
That was so cheap.
That was a non-sec, what I'm sorry.
Cody's just taking splash.
No, I didn't say Cody.
Oh, I think you said, Tony.
Yeah.
I was like, like, Cody's just in there.
What you say, fuck me for?
Yeah.
Okay, so man in the middle is scammers.
Let's get back to the Indians, dude.
Jesus.
What a day.
We're only half an hour in.
Hi, guys.
We're making a good time right now.
So we had to put, so I do a man in the middle attack, allegedly.
I should always say allegedly before these things.
People always get at me and they're like,
shouldn't admit to this because people will arrest you for this. And I was like,
here's the thing. No one will press charges for this. Okay. The guy in Nigeria is not
going to press charges, but he doesn't know who I am or where I am. So it really doesn't matter.
Also, you're a comedian and everything you say is an ingest. It is, of course, it is in
jest. Keep that in mind. Anyway, so yeah, so a man in the middle attack may or may not happen.
I pull his username and password. His password is happy man for life. And you know what?
I like a man that's trying to aspire. Happy man for now. Yeah. And that was correct. So I
I'm like, what are the odds he has to factor on?
Low, because they create so many of these accounts.
So I get into his Google account, and I've got access to everything.
I turn on his location.
I can see which device he's using.
I can see his phone.
I can see everything.
My favorite part is I can see his Google search history.
And this dude is the loneliest scammer in the history of scammers.
Guys, it was just a freaking list of followed by what is Mormon.
They was just like, he was trying to figure.
out what, like he had never
met Mormons before and apparently he was trying to scam
somebody I guessing out of Utah and so
he's Googling, what is Mormon? Harry
Stiles height
Nile Horan height
like Norman.
The crossover. He was
trying to start a stable of hose. He was
yeah, he had his own harem, but it wasn't
going well for him. Harry
Stiles Mormon gangbing
I'm horrified at how
good AI is getting because that's going to be
prompt at some point.
It probably already could be.
Oh, we're all horrified.
Anyway, man-made horrors, beyond our comprehension.
Involving Harry Styles.
Yeah, poor Harry Styles.
He's not ready for this.
Oh, that's taken things in quite a few different directions, not just one.
So you had all this information now, and now you're like, okay, I have his Google search history, which is absolutely terrifying.
So, by the way, yeah, I had bait him in, I had pretended, because I couldn't be the normal
accounts that I'm on, which are normally like older guys or different types of people.
So I became a college girl named Sophie.
I was 19.
My parents were super overbearing.
And I just want to talk to Nile about my life.
And Nile just wants gift cards for me.
And for me to set up a crypto trade, don't know what's going on there.
But I send him first off because he was super rude to Sophie.
And I was like, first off, I'm not Sophie.
Second off, don't you dare talk to Sophie that way.
Okay, that is ridiculous.
That is absurd.
And I go, third, and he goes, I would, I would never be rude to a woman.
And I get, I send him his search history and I go, bit of a wanker, aren't you?
Now, he starts to panic and I'm excited.
And then I send him his location and he blocks me, which is sad until you realize
that I'm still in his Google account.
So I unblock myself and go, nice try.
And he panics and panic deleted everything he had.
And I was like, that was incredibly satisfied.
You know he burnt his house down, right?
it was five minutes later he's like it's just some shirtless Indian dude in his front yard
burning his clothes I don't know about this yeah yeah he uh yeah that's that's always that
fun stuff where I love that stuff where it's just like because they always make these people panic
you know what I mean I see a lot of sex distortion too which is happens all the time it's normally dudes
and I oh Finn's gone yeah that happens so I just put out a Facebook post saying hey if you get my dick I'm sorry
You might see my meat.
Ben did literally happen to him, right?
Yes.
That's not what he said.
Yeah.
Finn was just proactive.
He's like, hey, you might see my wiener.
Sorry.
Brandon, what kind of shirt is that?
I'm glad you asked, Eli.
This is a poncho.
Brandon and I actually wear poncho so much.
We constantly end up wearing the same nice poncho shirt.
Good thing nobody's ever pointed that out before.
Now, if you guys have ever seen one of our live shows or this podcast in general,
you'll see Brandon and I wearing these incredibly comfortable gray looking shirts.
the time. Finn, pull it up with pictures. They're literally always wearing the same shirt.
I got turned on a poncho like a year ago. I've been wearing them ever since. I personally prefer.
I think this is the Westerns. It's got the pearl snaps because it's hot in Texas and I like something
breathable. Who's the thing I find really cool? Brandon, do the glasses trick. So ponchos have this
neat little thing in the pocket where you just take your glasses. No, the other one. Be more specific.
Let's get the shit about that. All right. Watch everyone. So if you got fat,
fingers and you smudge your glasses all the time.
The bottom of the shirt
actually acts. It has like a microfiber
so you can clean your glasses.
I make him clean my phones. He does.
I like the hidden little pocket on the
breast. Wait, what? Right over here.
Got a little zipper pocket. I didn't even know about that one.
Is that where you hold Cody's heart? And his
drugs. Things you might need
to know. Pancho has put a lot of
thought and detail into each one of their shirts. Oh, holy
They're soft. They're really soft. They're really
soft.
Yo, what?
That's my one, like, thing is fucking fabric sensitivity.
I don't wear our uncomfortable shirts.
This is comfy as f***.
That's where we wear them all the time.
So poncho's got a bunch of great styles,
the original western denim and ultra light.
If you're looking for the perfect shirt,
something breathable, and stands out in a good way,
give poncho a try.
Go to poncho outdoors.com slash unsub
and get $10 off your first order.
That's P-O-N-C-H-O-O-O-O-D-com slash unsub.
Yeah, and apparently girls were hitting it up, which is not the only time I've seen that happen where it's like,
my meat got leaked.
I now have a girlfriend.
It's like, wow, dude, like you played this into, you rolled this into a different system.
No, no reverse card.
You really did, yeah.
Thank you, my favorite scammer.
You were fantastic.
I met my wife because of Abu.
I'll bet your mother.
The quickest, my screwed up version.
Well, I was being blackmailed at 19, and well, here we are.
But that's the thing is like most blackmailers
It's just like don't respond to them
It's not like they're gonna come find you
So the easiest thing is to don't respond to them
It's the most important thing is because you can't blackmail someone you can't get a hold of
That goes there's so many things but yeah I had this guy that was reaching out basically like oh I've got you know these pictures of you
I've got this whatever and it's like very clearly like Indian scammer
Yeah I need two Bitcoin or and I will all I will go away and this this that and
Like all of his information was very funny because I was reading this email out of entertainment and it's all
wrong. And it's like it was it was a like an old address of mine. Like it was a place I did
live at some point. And we asked three to five years ago kind of that time frame. Yeah pretty much.
Okay. So it was it was it was a picture of the wrong house. It was a picture it included was of
my old neighbor's house. I'm like you're I have a feeling I'm pretty safe. Yeah. Got a question.
Did it come in a PDF? Oh, maybe. Mm-hmm. That was a scam run around for a while and it was
people there was a lot of data that was leaked they got a hold of address from about three to five
years ago and it would send you your image like an image of your house or they'd suck and they would
send an image of your neighbor's house and yeah they'd be like we caught you looking at stuff and it's
like no you didn't also why'd you send it in a PDF I don't know why they were so format pro
like it was a very weird time very very professional yeah I got I got the same scam but they
it was like a year ago right yeah and they they sent a picture of like I this was in I was
lived in Alabama at the time and like they they sent me uh I wasn't I wasn't I wasn't
I was a living in Alabama, but the address they sent was an Alabama address.
The picture that they included was like some fucking place in Arizona.
Like, what is wrong with you?
Are you in Phoenix, Alabama?
Look, man, try better.
Like, try.
There's so many of those things that you're just like, okay, now I'm just embarrassed for you.
And that's not a good look for any of us.
Like, that's not good.
Do they not have maps in New Delhi?
Like, what the fuck?
The lot of those ones were coming.
Actually, those ones I didn't pull the location for it.
So I'm actually not sure where that one was.
But a lot of extortions, Nigeria, and that was crazy.
And the craziest one that I've had, I had a guy that lost, I want to say, it was $560,000.
Holy shit.
And that was, that was one of the low ones for some of this crypto stuff.
You can see wallets get up to easy $10, $15, $100 million.
And it's nuts.
Yeah.
Oh, it hurts the soul.
That's one when you like, I got scammed out of like $500, $700.
I'm angry.
I got scammed out of fucking $8 million.
I'm like, oh, no, I don't.
I don't want to know what it tastes like.
I'm hiring you and then immediately after I'm hiring him.
You know, we could start a really cool crossover, don't know.
We could have something go crazy.
It's kind of like every realtor knows a mortgage banker that they work with.
Like, it just kind of like, yeah.
Once you have the information, here's a guy who could do something about it.
Every guy who finds people has a person that makes people disappear.
Like that's, yeah.
I had a guy.
Do they have a, is there a referral code?
for that.
Can I get a 20% off?
What is that?
Yeah.
The affiliate link.
Don't out and Ryan's death squad.
Incorporated.
We're in LLC.
We're getting off the ground.
We're loving.
We had a, but the guy who lost
$560,000, I could show him where his
scammer was. I could show him everything.
And he wouldn't believe me. He thought I
was the scammer. And I had it. I was working
for his son trying to get it back.
the craziest thing, and it's a Mark Twain quote,
and I'm not going to do it completely correctly, but it's...
Why say Jim?
Why say Jim?
Oh, my God.
What's the name is?
Call him Jim.
That could have been his name.
There's only one Jim in town.
Guys.
We know who you meant.
We know who you meant.
You didn't have to say it like that, please.
Well, don't look up, uh, what was it?
Oh, the cat?
The cat.
The cat.
What's his name?
Cthulhu.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That dude was, yeah.
Yeah, you wonder of like all of his dark thoughts were just like, he was just...
Dark thoughts?
Yeah, yeah.
He was just using allegories for racism.
He'd be like, yes, no, but they are evil.
And like, they're monsters with tentacles like that.
That's just how he's seen him in his head all the time.
Like, even because the thing was...
He was just a psychotic.
break 24-7? He never left
his house. Like that dude was constantly
he probably did think that that was real.
That was like 1840s racism
in the turn of the century though.
That was like, that's true.
We had cars.
It was aggressive.
Very good author, that.
Great author.
Anyway,
let me tell you about
the same story.
Jesus.
And, you know, we got way off the top of it.
I'm sorry.
Oh, I'm good.
We just going to sweat.
Wakes up in a cold sweat.
Anyway, lovecraft was not a good dude.
Very big on statistics.
Like, love crap, no!
Lovecraft, why? Why are you the way that you are?
Eldridge horrors beyond our segregate.
Comprehension.
On our racial ability, believability.
believability.
Yeah, Lovecraft.
What a guy.
Oh, good old HP.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hewlett Packard.
Anyway, I can't say that, Joe.
That's where we draw the line.
Oh, yeah.
Our editor.
So we love you, Finn.
I told you, we have fun.
Yeah.
I was trying, I was like, oh, you just have fun.
We'll worry about it in post.
Because he's like, what's the line I don't want to cross it?
It's like, oh, you're good.
You're fucking good.
We've seen all your clean stuff.
If you cross that line here, you actually get like a fucking coupon to a stick joint.
Like it's, yeah, if you came in and we were like, oh my God, youth pastor, right?
That would actually have been the greatest episode of all time.
Yeah.
You could put the title as you're never going to believe youth pastor right.
And it would make sense.
That would be.
Yeah, but the Mark Twain quote before we got off the rails.
Yeah, we even lost Cody.
That's tough.
That's a pretty crazy litmus test.
He lost Cody out of it.
Oh, yeah.
You couldn't believe what Mark Twain said.
Yeah, that's fine.
But it is easier to scams or to like defraud someone
and to convince them they've been taken advantage of.
Right.
Because no one ever wants to believe that they've been scammed.
And so that's what I got with this guy.
and what I've seen multiple, multiple times with, like, parents of kids.
Like, I can walk them through.
I can show, like, hey, they're working for a fake company.
Here's the website.
Here's when it was created.
None of this lines up.
Here's the actual company.
All of this is real.
And, like, you can just Google it.
You can do a whole bunch of OScent stuff that I did.
And the parents will just be like, nope, we just choose to not believe it.
It's, fuck.
It was who got catfished that believed he was dating.
Was it Taylor Swift or?
Oh, she was.
would say that. That guy
would not believe
that it wasn't Taylor Swift or
whoever. And all the old like
or like, I don't know, 50 year old women that think they're dating
Brad Pitt or something like that. Well, this is the same
thing. Yes, all the time. Yeah.
This was one of those famous people
they make their career
based on it's like, hey, you've been catfish. It was the guys
that did catfish. So they started their channel
back up later. Now they do it
still to this day just for YouTube. That's
old school TV. Bro, and it crush us
now. I'm sure it does. You think that went
No way. No way. No, they're making all that a ton of money because they're like, holy shit. Yeah, we just do it ourselves now. We don't have a TV taking everything. We're not paying 90% to MTV. Yeah. So yeah. Okay, fucking dope. But one of the guys, it was, it was like one of those famous actresses. And they could not convince this dude. They were showing him everything. Here's where her IP is. Here is where this scammer or this catfish person. This is where they live. This is how they're doing this. And he's like, nope. Would.
not believe it. You kind of feel bad
for that because that's where you're starting to verge
on mental illness. I know which one you're talking
about. You're talking about an actual, oh, oh, oh.
I don't know a single, like, Pamela Anderson.
Oh, oh, oh. Tommy. Tommy. Tommy.
Tommy. Oh, Tommy. What's his? She was trying to cheat on
Tommy. Oh, no.
I forgot. Yeah, yeah. I've also seen
that, by the way, too, where people are like, yeah, I'm just really
trying to, like, cheat on him. Or I've also seen a lot of dudes
that are like, yeah, this star reached out to me. She's trying to get out of
the business. And I'm like, hey, White Knight, you're not, no, it's
not that. Let's tone it down.
I'm going to save her. Yeah, you're thinking
with the wrong head there, Chief. You're not
the guy. No, you're not in.
It's, yeah. She was
the trad lifestyle.
Yeah. There were
a few hundred that were the guy, though.
Yeah, yeah. There were. But yeah,
so they had to find them behind a $3 pay
wall. It was
a dude just, hey,
this is not that person. And watching
that dude, he was in his 30s
lower, like,
late 20s and fighting these guys that do this for a profession on camera.
He's like, no, it's that I'm dating Taylor Swift.
No, trust me. And you're like, holy shit, it doesn't matter.
That loser who plays for the chiefs, he ain't got nothing on me.
Yeah. And that's what is wild seeing that much ego or I don't know if it's just that
sunk and fat like it's a sunk cost fallacy mixed with like delusion and honestly
the fear of being wrong, you know, the fear of like you put so much time, effort,
normally money into it, do you really, or would you rather just kind of live in that fantasy?
And you do see a lot of like, that kind of fantasy.
It's very, we were talking about it earlier, but like some of the stuff that I said it was like cults.
And it's very, very similar that cult mentality of like, okay, well, what if we all just
believe the same thing, regardless of it makes any sense or not, but we're all together in it.
We have community.
Yes.
Like that sort of thing.
It is.
It's the community that they've created with like their scammer.
Oh, damn.
You said community.
That's a right joke.
Oh, no.
It is already.
You must drink.
Oh, damn, we are a cult.
Oh, no.
That's what we start going by.
Guys, you know that phrase that we say where we all drink together?
Oh my gosh, do we have Kool-Aid? What are we doing here?
All right, unsub. For this episode, we're going to break out our special community Kool-Aid.
You all have it at home. We sent it to you.
It's the white packet.
It's just unsub-juice over bleach.
Oh, my God.
We don't even take off the bleach logo.
logo. We just put our see-through
sticker on top of it.
Drink it. It tastes like shit.
Don't do that. Don't actually do that.
Please don't do that. Please don't.
It tastes real bad.
On sub-slogan is
sarco-feelius satanicus.
These guys changed.
It's really out of control.
I feel like something about the podcast
is different since their eyes started glowing black.
Yeah.
I didn't expect that, but it was pretty cool.
We never managed to stay straight off.
Brandon, that was a hilarious joke.
Cody, what are you doing next?
Sacrifice riot.
Oh, man, I knew it.
Don't ever advise me to these things.
Of course I was going to happen.
You know, guys, it was a good last run.
And you got the final scam.
Yeah, I did it.
That last us all along.
I thought it was a podcast.
Demonic Sacrifice.
It could happen to anybody.
It could.
You don't know who you are until it happens.
Did not see this one coming as he's strapped like this.
Yeah.
I'm on the wheel.
Oh, man.
I'm beginning to get the sense that this isn't a podcast.
Yeah.
Why would you say that right?
It's because the mic isn't following me, so I feel like I'm only catching a half of what I'm saying.
Oh.
Dear God
Yeah, so
That was really off the fuck
I love this
This is my favorite style
Of Jesus
Chaos
I do
This is my favorite
Shit in the world
Oh yeah
Okay
So that is one part
Of what you do
And then the other part
Which I think we've all watched
Is hey buddy
By the way
Side note
You did Nintendo
I'm very disappointed
You did not do a Japanese
accent
You could be the rent
I'm seeing you all the white accents.
I was like, he found his line right.
Do you know, if you were to came in, it's like,
I'm like, oh my, do you know how many comments I get
where they're like, do the accent?
I'm like, I'm not.
Okay, like, that's crazy.
Like, because I've done things on like Indian.
You coward?
Yeah, I've done on Indian companies, Chinese companies.
And I'm like, that's weird, why the voice cut off?
And I was like, you freaking know why the voice got off, dude.
It's not going to go well.
it's yeah no I've got a I've got a nice gradient of Caucasian that I'm allowed to do and I
stick with that that is it because I watched the other ones further like oh German what's he
gonna do for this one I was like ah yes there he was just like ah no no that's always this guy
yeah it's just like hey buddy yeah let's cross that one yeah we had a bigger
fireball crushed through wait you think that Mazda Toyota like you think I'm gonna
Or I did Samsung.
Like, first off, if you're going to see me try,
do you know how many hours it would take for me to sit there
delineating between South Korean, Japanese, Chinese,
like all these different, obviously different languages,
but like I'm having to learn the accent.
Like, it's just not going to happen.
I feel like you can ballpark that one.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
He ballparked it.
What happened?
Didn't go well.
You hear that, Asians?
You're not worth the time to learn how to do your accent.
I don't know what happens.
I don't know.
I don't know what happened to him, but I can't find his Instagram anymore.
Yeah.
I actually can't find him.
He's dead somewhere.
If you do an accent, the yakuza is not going to come for you.
No, it's way worse.
It's going to be white women online, and they're going to be so angry about me.
They're so scary.
They are.
Look, I'm a pretty wafy dude, okay?
We thought, are you a youth, past.
You need to have an AK be your bodyguard.
Okay, that would be awesome.
Do you want to borrow my ghost bed pillow?
Does it smell like you?
Yes.
Do you feel that cooling technology?
It's definitely not a hot pillow.
I got to get out of here.
Give me my pillow.
I'm the one that has to sleep here.
You guys have your own houses and your own pillows.
Quit touching it.
All right, real question.
Can the gang do a pillow fight?
Not with these.
A slow motion pillow fight?
No, they're heavy.
It'll hurt.
Are they really?
Yes, they're premium.
Dude, that would actually suck.
I don't think I'd want to get smacked with that.
I'm swinging it hard, okay?
Your son, you walk up and just tee off on your kid.

What's funny, one of my really good friends is a guy named Parth.
And like, and like we've talked about stuff before.
And like he, that's a sturdy name.
It is a sturdy name.
He's always from India.
And like, I've like had him on occasionally to do it.
I've got some other Indian buddies that I'm just, they're just like, do it.
And I'm like, no guys.
They can't like, they want to see me fail.
They want me to do it because they're like, oh.
I think they're just, yeah, they're protecting their scammer friends.
But I have vested interest in making sure you get canceled.
That I get killed.
Yeah, that's that it's over for him.
Yeah, so it's so funny because everybody that I know that I'm like,
is that I'm buddies with it or on these levels or like part of those groups are like,
do it.
And I'm like, no, you're trying to get me stab.
Stop doing that.
Like, I'm just, yeah.
I said it multiple times.
Like our white buddy Clint, Clint or ponisher from back in the Freddie,
Wong days. He did cardboard warfare. Why does dude you will ever meet? Does the best Chinese accent
you will ever hear? Does he do the eyes? Oh my God. No. No. Oh no. But anytime we go to
Freddie's parents and they are from China, like they moved from China to here. They only want to
hear Clint do that accent. Like, oh, Clint, do that accent. It's so funny. Listen, how good he is at that
Oh, Kuntitjohn is so funny.
And Krik's like, I feel so uncomfortable.
This is so fucking awkward at dinner at time.
And I'm like, this is my first time meeting these guys, too.
Oh, my gosh.
Well, also, think about it.
That is actually the worst case scenario.
Worst case scenario, I kill it.
And then everybody demands I do it from that on in front of these.
That's winning.
I don't know.
To worst case scenario, I get a bunch of views and make money.
No, no, no, no.
What's the accent I got to do?
No, no, no.
Well, I'm sitting there.
It's a pretty fucking dog to me.
Nobody gets offended and I got a new stick.
Is that horrible.
Okay, somebody brings Clinton here.
He's the only one that's going to get it.
Okay, he's the only one that sounds like you'd understand.
Yeah, no, that's, but it's German always because like that's my wife's German.
She's from Berlin.
So I was just like, in fact, some of her friends are like, it's weird.
You do the most generic German accent.
It's like across all of German, but you know what it is?
Because I'm this type of dork, it's a, oh, Edward Rick Rolfen from Call of Duty Nazi Zombies.
Yeah, every time.
Yeah, it's just, oh my gosh, working together, that's what friends do.
Like, that's always the voice.
So I'm like, oh, man, I hope nobody figures out where that comes from.
Well, they will know.
Yeah, that's true.
I love that you, like, and people say, oh, it's the most generic German accent.
And I'm like, how autistic do you have to be?
Like, oh, you're not choosing from, you know, this part of Germany.
Have you met Germans?
I mean, like that.
To be fair, yes.
Yeah, that is...
Now, they're a focused group of people, okay?
It's like a quarter of my DNA is German.
Is German?
Okay, got you. Trust me, I get it.
Yeah.
His grandma.
If you've seen her house.
Yes, in OMA?
Oma is 93 years old.
Wow!
The episode is OMA.
We call her OMA during the episode.
No way. That's so cool.
I grew up thinking that was her name because that's just what we call there's...
Of course.
Oh, my God.
It's very neat, orderly.
She's still living alone at 93, and she is...
She's killing it.
She was a World War II survivor as a civilian.
Okay.
I was like, she's a World War II.
Pauses.
Oh, this is going to get weird.
Okay.
Well, I asked, she was a Panzer driver.
Like, she was really just.
She was good.
Yeah.
So many metals.
So, so, that's.
We called her Zafirs Fraulein.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I was thinking like the bitch of Buchenwald.
Like the actual, like, there was the woman who was like the terror of Buchenwald.
And I was just like, oh no, grandma, please.
like that's my so i go with my wife to go talk to like her her nanny from when she grew up and
her nanny's her husband he's very sweet and i asked my wife pretty nannies her husband no her
nanny her nanny her nanny's husband i'm hopefully still my wife's husband i was like maybe
what hopefully yes so we have like we have did she kind of family make it i asked her early i was
like hey what did your grandparents doing the war and she was like oh i
really don't know. And I was like, you know what? Not an okay answer. We're going to have to find
this out. Turns out they were like in college at the time. They weren't actually like,
they didn't serve. I was like, oh, thank God. But like, college age? But they were
studying to be doctors. And the joke I always make is, oh, yeah, they were working under a
mangola. But he, yeah. So they, they, he's top in his field. Yeah, he is. He's number one.
Yeah. He takes two of everything. I'll tell you. But he, uh, Jesus Christ.
Got him. Yeah, it gets dark.
Okay.
But I'm talking.
Some weird college credits.
Yeah.
This is very bizarre.
Well, that's why they have all their, you know, dissections and everything like that comes before ethics.
They don't give you the ethics course until after.
That comes after.
That comes way later.
If it comes.
But yeah, so we're sitting there talking with her, and I understand enough German, but I was talking with them.
And her nanny's husband starts talking about like, oh, yeah, my.
my father when he was in Stalingrad.
I was like,
we're going to have to take a
freaking pause on this.
And he was talking about his dad in Stalingrad.
And I was like,
his dad fought during Stalingrad and like described it.
And he's writing a book about his dad's firsthand experiences of that.
And that was just a crazy moment to have like,
obviously grown up in the States.
I always had World War II veterans and like met him.
It was made a lot.
But I've never met someone who was like,
oh yeah, we were full right there on the other side.
Like, it was just, it was a crazy, and also, of all the battles, the Battle of Stalingrad is one of the most brutal of all time.
You can add again.
It doesn't do it justice of like, oh, it's another battle.
This is, how many people did we lose during D-Day?
I mean, the entire war effort, we lost, what, 240,000 troops?
I thought it was 400,000.
It was like, is it 400,000 or 400,000?
It could be like, even 400, we'll say, we'll round up.
It was 416,000 military troops.
It was close.
So 416,000 we lost.
Stalingrad.
That is one.
Two million.
Yeah.
And I mean, it's winter.
They're cutting each other off.
Their house-to-house fighting.
I mean, it was just, so hearing him talk about that, I was like, huh, wow, this is,
this is a crossover I didn't expect.
And so, yeah, just met some interesting people, I think is the fair way to say it.
kidding yeah no but my wife is really sweet and she hasn't even tried to say i will say that's nothing
scary she occasionally sleeps talks nothing's scary in hearing german and sleep talk that's the
scary shit you guys will ever hear that's just oh my gosh just in the middle of the night
oh yeah for all oh oh oh yeah who just means breakfast she just wants breakfast she's hungry
but like it sounds so angry it does well i've woken up to her her brother and her dad taking a voice
call and i'm like oh this is it they're back
The flags are rolling down outside right now, I'm not going to make it.
I won't even tell that one.
We're going to film that.
Now I'm scared.
No, it's the one where you guys had this idea for a wasp, and then I changed it into the, hey, let's do the, we vote for the mayor.
It's the dog, a dog becomes the town mayor.
It's like this cute thing.
It's like, oh, and our new town mayor.
And it's the dog.
and we handed the key or whatever
and then it hard cuts to
dogs doing the German
march flags rolling down
with occupied Nazi and that mayor
dog is now taking control of the
United States and we're like they're got out of control
so fast
that's it it's just like
that's what happens when you elect a German
shepherd
I just think everyone thinks it's going to go
this cutesy route and it just goes
so dark I just looked it up
if the stats I have are right
more people died in the battle
of Stalingrad than U.S. military deaths
ever. So is that the $20 million, right?
20 to $40 million was lost.
No, no, no, no. That was Stalin Grad.
Oh, Solingrad to 8.
Yeah, 2 million.
2 million. That's all of it.
That's more than all our wars combined then.
Yeah. Yeah. So
American Civil War is, that's obviously the big, well, we got
two sides. I hate to put it this way, double
points, but you both sides were us.
No, yes. Yeah.
Yeah.
$620,000.
Oh my God.
I just thought the most screwed up thing, which is double XP weekend.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Double XP half decade.
It was crazy.
Yeah.
It's still.
Straight up like.
Antietam and all that shit was like the bloodiest day in American history.
Like those battles because, I mean, think about it like no matter where a bullet's hitting, it's an American.
Yeah.
So it's fucking crazy.
The install and grad is more than that.
Yeah.
And they were all of everything, all put together since we were a country since we were founded.
Every war, every skirmish, every paddle, everything.
Wow.
Wow.
Terrifying.
You put that in perspective, all of Gwatt is like, what, 10,000?
It's like seven.
Yeah.
Like a baby, like nothing.
It's not going to wrong.
That's fucking good.
Like, I'm glad.
Oh, yeah.
It's great.
It's just how much war has changed until you can have like two million deaths in a single.
Because Gwatt, you're looking at, you know, almost 20 years.
Exactly.
You're getting 7,000 versus like four years World War II.
What does it?
41 I want to say 42 it's something what's that what the the total death toll for
world war two wasn't it 41,000 or 41 million the number one it was really low key yeah
the one I'm looking at here is a 405,000 no total total total total total oh totally and the Russians
are like 20 of that yeah so yeah that's what's crazy it's like Russian I'm my I'm Jamie
counted we don't know Russia one that's the thing they've still I don't believe they've
still ever officially released their numbers which is so total deaths are anywhere between
70 and 85 million. Whoa, I was off by a lot. I guess I was thinking also crazy. Civilian deaths
50 to 55 million. Military deaths, 21 to 25 million. It was more civilians. I think the, when was the
last, I think World War I was the last time that it was more military than civilian. But otherwise,
it's normally more civilian, which is even definitely wasn't GWAT too. Yeah. Like that by a large
margin. Yeah. That makes sense. I don't know why I just like gave Eli this stink. I don't know. Like
it was your fault. Yeah. Yeah. I was looking for
like affirmation on the sentence that I just said
and then I realized it was like
I just love Eli. Did you just
blame Eli for the entire global war
terror? Like that's, we know what
you did. Like that's crazy.
Shine's spotlight.
Eli did 9-11?
No, but you did technically.
I didn't worry about that.
Oh my God. Cody technically
did 9-11. I got so many questions.
Reminds me of the Muppet movie where it's like
Kermit goes back. Yes, Kermit goes back in time and the towers
are still there. And it's like, what the hell
did Kermit do to make
9-11 happen? It's
so crazy.
That's the one, it's the
bluey, I think, where they had like an episode
where they had TSA.
I've never seen
this may shock you, I'm not a big bluey.
No, it was some screenshot I saw
where they were just like, oh, you know, showing kids, like, hey, these
are just parts of normal life. And there was an episode
where they had TSA and they're like, this implies the
existence of Bluey 9-11.
Oh my gosh, yes.
Oh, God.
It's like Cars.
There's planes, which also makes it.
And there's like, somehow there is apparently like the implication of the global war on terror, but within the Cars universe.
Oh, no, it's Carr Hitler.
They're supposed to be, because there's definitely car World War II.
Oh, which means that one of the hoax wagons got out of control.
There's like, Sarge and all that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, my God, you're right.
Holy shit.
I never thought about that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's the, he's like the Willis Jeep, right?
Yeah.
That's so funny.
me to imagine it's just like man
give us that cars cut i want to see that extended universe
rated our pixar just drops
cars four cars four
hitler's return yeah it's just like
oh my god there's little tires up at 45 degree
angles no the russian front is just like them slamming
20 million lottas or whatever the podcast is
oh my gosh just those eyeballs
of those fucking beaches on normandy
the french mission and tires are
retreating like it's just they're getting out
getting shot you're like what the fuck
happened to cars this is so dark now
let's cut back to how Cody started or Cody
caused 9-11 yeah I'm really curious
about that you can't just kind of drop that on me
and like oh I'll figure it out later
if I would have been born like
10 years 12 years earlier
I might have could have prevented 9-11
because every
what are you Mark Wahlberg what's happening
right now yeah well I could have
stopped it what's going on there had been a lot of blood
in first class
I found
When I was an avionic electronic technician in the Navy, I found a flaw in all civilian and military aircraft where they haven't accounted for buildings being built the past 25 years to avoid automatically in the navigation systems.
Like they do for terrain.
Yeah, like they do for terrain, but they haven't accounted for skyscrapers in the past like 30 fucking since skyscrapers have been built.
Yeah.
So I brought that to Northrop Grumman and worked with engineers on it.
And they corrected that and started putting skyscrapers in the navigation systems.
You got a Navy achievement.
I got a Navy achievement medal for it, and I was like, I was only an E3 at the time.
Oh my God.
Congratulations.
But also, dang, I see it though now.
Yeah.
Oh.
Just a couple years early.
Just because you were, you were fucking lazy.
You were late.
Yeah.
During 9-11?
12.
What a piece of shit.
Can't believe if you really just.
I'd fuck that up, man.
That's crazy, though, to think about, we were talking earlier about like, with, uh, say
had Eli just about like the butterfly effect is so crazy that way and you do think about like man
you rarely hear oh man I could have actually done that and then you hear the story you're like
oh he could have actually done that mom and dad would have met seven years earlier like yeah
yeah there's a reality oh man yeah so it's your mom's fault
your mom's watching the podcast like I hate these guys yeah
death threats. Like, what do you do?
I have nothing.
Mama donut caused G-Wat.
Well, that's a hell of a sticker.
Mama donut is one of the nicest humans on the face of the planet.
Oh, it's so much.
Just sweet old Southern woman.
Yeah.
Okay.
Is she still in Alabama?
She's in South Carolina.
South Carolina.
Okay.
It's a part of.
From the South.
Yeah.
Oh, Cody.
Oh, man.
We call her mom.
Yeah.
Mama,
I love that.
There's something about that southern accent.
We had like, I always distinguished between country and southern accents.
Because in Missouri, you go far enough out, you get country accents.
That's what I get with, like, my grandma and people like that.
But it's different than southern accents, because southern accents is going to be a little slower, a little sweeter.
But country seems to have a little bit of twang, but they got things to do.
It's like, we're getting the hell out of here, I'll tell you what?
Like, it's just like, we're moving, we're going, and it's, I just feel like that's different than Southern itself.
It's like antebellum statesman versus Boomhauer.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Huh.
You got that?
Check.
Check.
All right, squared that away.
So with, what is now with these, what do you call them, your company?
Do you just call them your company?
Everybody just calls them the hey buddy videos and I never corrected that.
So I think it's just that.
That works really good because the level of depth, like sob.
We briefly talked about the sob one.
I'm trying to think what is another one?
Nintendo I'm trying to
You're trying to avoid the Nintendo one
No I like the Nintendo one
But it's all of them
We're so crazy on how in debt you go
Yeah freaking
They got free
They did what now
They had love hotels
Which were for just people
Just to go and get freaky in
And then yeah
Essentially
That was Nintendo
They also had taxi cab service
That's common place in Japan isn't it
It is more
It is much more common there
Yeah
Yeah
Saab is crazy to me
Because they did the AT4
And then they also did
You know
The 93 car
And then they also did
The grip
So they've done like planes and everything else and as well as, but yeah, they were, they were
an aerospace company first.
And then after the Second World War, they were like, oh man, all our people are bored.
Do you guys want to make cars?
They're like, yeah, we want to make cars.
And that's why they like pioneered crumple zones, seatbelts early.
Like that's the reason why the key was in the center is because if you put the key up normally,
when you get an accident, your knee normally crushes into it and it'll either break the key
or it's really screw up your knee.
So they were like, oh, yeah, we just looked at a whole bunch of,
like crash test footage because we did that with planes and we're like this works so yeah
sob is kind of crazy and they do a ton of like shoulder mounted either recoiless rifles or like rocket
launchers and oh god that's got to be fun that's gonna be so awesome you just did a video the other day
about the uh the handheld minigun the micro gun yes so that came across my feed and i fucking i like
i know the owner of that company like i i completely forgot no way that was a thing
shut up yeah what they're dope so that the five five six mini gun that
was me like in 2017 wait who's which was that had they actually it seems like a handheld
mini i know is that our one boy uh no it's uh it's emptish out of the harem okay um well we
have a friend that makes them too but seven six two which you cannot no troll no you're
talking about oh really james degrote yeah yeah yeah yeah okay de grote yeah yeah we try one time
yeah yeah i've tried blanks you can do a fucking full dump yeah second you add in hey this is a
project off flying out and now we're doing with physics. That thing whips around. So that
equal and opposite reaction is a bit of a motherfucker. Yeah. I have never talked about this
physics. Don't you hate it? The recoil of boom, a hunting rifle. Now multiply that by 4,000 rounds per minute. You're making a really fast, like, windmill at that point. I have never talked about this
publicly, but I had an idea on the, on the docket for years. And I hope somebody does it. I hope I
hope I'm the one to do it if I have enough time.
I've always wanted to figure out the math on it.
We actually did the back of the envelope math just to see if it was feasible.
I think we can on the minigun rocket jump.
Wait, what?
Yeah.
The backward recoil of a mini gun is that enough to lift a small person.
How small are we talking?
I'm willing to lose weight.
That'd be awesome.
I think you might die.
Okay.
I didn't think about that far.
Brandon, if you did this one in conjunction with Freddie.
Yeah, because his whole
Oh, the rocket jump videos.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I would fucking love to do it
because we would have to like build a track
obviously to make sure it's safe and whatnot.
But just seeing if we could get the lift.
I guarantee that's a pepper box pay.
Like put it on YouTube but let pepperbox pay for it.
And then we'll just do more shit on the back end.
But that is a video that everyone will fucking eat up.
That would be like crazy.
We did it.
Do you want to be on this video?
Do you want to be on this video?
do a real life rocket jump? Yeah, but we'd have to do with like a weighted dummy at first and everything
to make sure that, you know, you don't want to get too crazy. Dude, minigons, as we're shooting a
mini gun at the ground to try to lift somebody in 10 feet near. Look, there's worse ways to go out.
That's all I'm saying. That is a, wow. Okay. Oh, man. This is the shit I think about it,
night. Empty shell. Question. Are they still doing stuff? I don't know. Okay, because I didn't know
either. And I tried going through a whole bunch of different things. I couldn't tell if they were still
active with it, but it looked cool. I haven't seen shit from them in years, but I do know that they did
at one point have a firing prototype. Wow. Yeah. So that was like, I don't know if it still is. I don't
know. They had a bunch of like pending contracts and stuff. I don't know if that ever went anywhere,
but I do know at one point there was a very controllable, portable, man held, or five, five, six
mini gun. That's so cool. Oh my gosh. Where you would deploy that? I have no fucking good.
It's cool, though. It's incredibly cool. But yeah, what does that use? Like,
There's zombies?
What is the military use for this?
Ambushers would be fucking gnarly.
Here's my thought.
That's crazy to think about it.
Everybody wants to do the fucking,
and empty shell if you do still exist.
You're more than welcome to take this
in case you haven't already.
Everybody wants to do the cool guy,
Predator, you know, Jesse Venturo,
like, oh, fire the minigone from the hip.
I think you should turn it into kind of like
what they did with the 1919,
turn into the stinger, put the fucking stock on it,
and have a bipod around like the housing or whatever
and do a where you could use it for an ambush
where now you just have a fucking Eotech up top
like they do with some of the M134Ds
and just bhr-now you actually have a usable
whoa that is the craziest ambush machine of all time
it's the ammo because you have to carry all that ammo
but it's 5.56 at least yeah but you're still
I mean like so much
my question is also how are you going to feed it
that fast? Is it going to be like that? It has to be built. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Could you feed it
enough to keep up with it and do you have enough belt? It was just like any other minigone. Yeah.
They do have some of the ones they have like a feeder. Yeah. Where it's like electronically
assisted. That makes sense. Okay. Yeah. So it's yeah, kind of keeping up with it, especially the aircraft.
The aircraft they have to. That's what I knew is the aircraft style version. But that's, God, that's such a
funny image. It's just like, yeah, we sent Todd out to do an ambush. What's he doing? Oh, he's going to do it.
like that is yeah he's got it all yeah now i would think each person your squad just carries like
a nice chunk of the belt yeah yeah yeah we have those backpacks that have like 500 600 rounds
yeah that's three away that's when you get the the the fucking giant how much
fucking kid from the midwest who has the IQ like a room temperature IQ but he's giant to carry
that he's you got the backpack buddy he's a big marine he knows knows his potatoes all moving stuff
like that's the whole thing like the army survival manuals for like
like a World War III against China or whatever.
It's like, all right, well, these are the edible plant life, the fauna things in the area you can use to survive.
Average Marine from Frikan, Arkansas.
The average NVA soldier has 320,000 calories inside of him.
Oh, my God.
I see that so much.
So we're like, God, I love the Midwest.
At minimum.
So this is for 7-6-2, but it.
It's 56 pounds for 1,000 rounds.
Wow.
And then you have to house it.
So 5, 5, 5, 6 would probably be like...
Half out.
Yeah, about 3-4s of it, probably.
Wow.
Maybe half.
Maybe half.
And then whatever the housing is
and that chain system to run it
or the belt system to run it up to it.
And then you're just dumping rounds.
So many fucking bullets.
So much death.
Gosh, it reminds me of trying to remember.
I think it was North.
Was it North Room?
No, it was...
40 pounds for a thousand.
Okay.
Not Northrop.
It was, it's one of the flight companies that tried to do the aircraft aircraft carrier
with the with like little planes on the wings that they could detach and like send out.
And I remember doing a video about it, but it's the most insane thing because they were like,
okay, well, first off, it needs to be nuclear powered because we needed to be able to stay
out there for about 41 days.
And it's like, hey, crazy start.
Okay.
Like that's an insane beginning.
And yeah, they were like, yeah, we're like, yeah, we're like, we're like, we're
just gonna put it's like a hornet's nest of death it's crazy you could send one and take over any
country on earth like that was this is why i love like skunk works is because they just give them
money and they just go hey look you guys are obviously morbidly autistic you could figure out
ways to kill people that we haven't even begun to think about here's a few million dollars
just fuck with shit yeah yeah just around and then they come back we're like oh wow we figured out how to drop
fucking submarines out of
airplanes that can do nuclear strikes all over
the fucking planet. You're like, oh. Your submarine can fly
now. Yeah. It's a plane. Yep.
Yep. It does both and all.
Like that's, yeah. We thought what if it was
a crossover between everything? And the brazen
bull. So now it scoops the human
up and cooks them. They scream.
And it makes them afraid.
And then it shoots their body parts out and kills
people. And you're like, what? Because they're
morbidly autistic. It's actually powered by the screams.
It's the R-rated version of Monsters Inc.
It's the R-rated version of Monsters, Inc.
We must get there.
Ding.
Start prodding the president.
Bring in the next P.O.W.
We've been in law school.
They feed on fear. It's great.
Oh my gosh.
Government's like, you didn't.
did what? We turned souls in the fuel.
Yeah. The DOD
inspector's like, dear lord!
We didn't know
we'd proven souls yet.
Yeah, but we made them gas.
Yeah, that's great.
But we made him gas. They're invading
hell now. Yeah.
Hey, 2'6, this is more prices
than oil.
That's what it took.
The Lockheed guy doesn't even look up. He's like, yeah, we've had
the theory for a while.
Yeah. We actually watch, we played Doom
2016, and we're like, we can make that work.
That's so, I love that stuff so much.
Dooslayer.
That's just the name of your weapon?
No, it's the name of a dude.
It's a doomslayer.
Yeah.
We have one now.
We own one.
Yeah, that's part of our program.
That is, like, that, DARPA, some of these crazy things that they're just like,
what if we throw money out and wait until insane things come back?
I love some of the stuff that it's come up with where you're just like, wow, that person was really smart and should also,
we should keep an eye on them for like freaking sure like that's we're really good at spending money
on stuff and then they just hide it how long was the psychic one oh stargate yeah isn't that
stargate like uh the projection um yeah astral projection not astral projection it's like um
psychic psychic psychic things where you could see where the things oh but of course it never
worked is in astral uh that's a different thing but astral projection what is remote viewing
remote you and there it is yes
and this is one where you're like
millions and you're like oh but they got rid
of it
yeah
it's like 30 years
we're doing it again that one asshole said
he found the arc of the covenant
and he just described the scene from
fucking Indiana Jones
it's around there's a lot of sand
it's dark and people who speak Arabic
oh wow
yeah exactly thanks man
yeah you really narrowed that down
That was the one weird part that we did talk about where they're like, they spent, I'm shitting these numbers out, they're not real numbers, but like 80 million the first two years.
They showed their findings to the CIA, and then they got like 150 million for the next couple years.
It's like, that was because the one guy was, when you look at their breaking it down, Y files, he did A.J. does a really good job of it.
And he then does, okay, this is why it's fake.
But then he goes on, he's like, yeah, this is the hard one because he was 90s.
percent right on when he would do this stuff or we'd bring in two the top two in the field
and they would both have pretty close ideas and AJ tries to break it apart for the most
where he's like this isn't fake he's like this is the hard one where I don't want to believe in
this shit because it sounds stupid but just as Brandon said they go hey we're going to put
40 80 million dollars in it and then two years later like here's a hundred and sixty
million dollars. It's a shit that makes you go
huh. Well, you guys realized there was also
like an absurd amount of LSD being passed
around the office. There's the other option
is like, did you put 15? I put 150.
Ah! Pass me a tab.
You know what you mean? Like this.
I was just listening to his actually. I think it was
I'm talking about Operation Midnight Climax
where they were just luring people into a brothel
and giving them a bunch of LSD.
Just like American citizens.
Yes, absolutely. I think it was San Francisco
just like back in the 70s.
wait what was this they were they were trying to like see how LSD affected people and so
they they titled it midnight climax which is objectively hilarious and they went into brothels
and they just drug Johns the official write up on that why funny giggles and this is the and again
this is the US government oh yeah there's been this is a verified well there's the story about
the NATO guy, the NATO, I'm going to say general who got kidnapped by an Italian group that was like, I want to say they were like, they were a communist Italian group that had previously killed the former prime minister of Italy. And so they were like, yep, we got him. We'll kill him. Like, but we want information. And so they tried to bring in the Stargate guy. And they were like, he is in Italy. And they were like, oh, yeah, we freaking know that, dude. And it was actually the Italian police that ended up going in. They busted through the door and like,
punched out all that they essentially put some huge italian guys on it but turns out that general
his name's dozier i want to say he's still alive to this day but he still has hearing damage
because they didn't want him to be able to communicate with anybody so they put headphones on him
and just blasted rock the entire time and he's like i gotta be honest i still can't listen to rock
the same way ever again like that's that was his entire thing but yeah stargate was tried they
tried to implement it and they were like damn like that wasn't even close no shit yeah
So was that the failure where they finally pulled out of it?
I think that was towards, that was in the 80s.
And so I want to say that was closing up where they're like,
Hey, we're tired to spending money like this?
And they were like, let's move it to other things.
And it.
Well, and so this is where like, because I don't obviously think any of that shit's actually real.
But it makes you wonder because there's a lot of shit that the government spent money on throughout the years like Operation Mockingbird and things like that.
We're like we actually spent a decent bit of money like the CIA controlling our news organizations and all sorts of shit.
And we don't worry.
Nobody who was ever involved with it ever went to jail.
Nobody got repercussions for anything they did.
But one day suddenly in the 90s we decided to stop.
And we would never do that.
We would not do that.
That is always the thing about like, you always wonder what in so many things,
what our technology is going to like?
What are people going to look back at us and go, oh, man, they were idiots.
You know what I mean?
And there's plenty of it.
Because we look back all the time at people and we're like, they were eating that.
That's a terrible idea.
The first emperor of China, he was trying to be immortal.
And so he drank a life-giving potion.
It was mercury.
So that didn't go well.
Because it looked really cool.
It probably did look awesome.
That can't be bad for me.
Oh, you see a shiny metal?
Yeah, you drink that.
You live a hundred a year, you know.
Forever.
Gorgeous shots, you talk a lot.
And it's the cool metal going down.
You talk, man, I feel dope.
I feel dope and dead.
And super dead.
I feel like the two things for that, or I think three things for our generation.
It's going to be lead, lead, microplastics, and radiation therapy.
Like radiation therapy is one of those weird ones where I'm like, all right, is it better than fucking dying from cancer?
Yes, objectively so.
But I feel like in a hundred years when, you know, we've solved a lot of these problems, they're going to look back at that like bloodletting.
No, I will.
Like you were, you decided to get blasted by radiation.
That was your fix.
I think that will have, I think they'll stay around for a while.
But the microplastics, until we have a better one, you know.
Microplastics are one where we don't know.
There's a lot of things where we just don't know right now.
It's like food dies colors.
Well, like, we know we just don't care.
Lead.
Makes me think like vaping, like popcorn, like things like that.
Oh, do popcorn.
Oh, do popcorn.
It's terrifying.
Like, lead is, dude, that is how, what was the trip to?
Was it the South Pole or the North Pole?
and it's that they went one way we're not sure which but they
one of them but it was that famous hey we're going to hit here oh shit they did tack
welding the cut cost the government did on that expedition and the cans were welded with
lead I want to say like soldered or something like that yeah but lead and then sure shit
after six months eight months they're just eating lead oh the doctor on it we're seeing scurvy
or what they thought was scurvy with gums and people going crazy he started feeding the monkey
the food the canned food monkey in a month what ape shit and they're like oh yeah we're all there
for that yeah it was like oh fuck we've just been doing lead poisoning this entire time oh shit we're
sorry but everyone dies wow yeah those are some of those crazy not service related and because
And again, as you say, yeah, exactly.
Oh.
Let's just chalk this one up to a learning experience.
Yeah.
I think we all learned something.
Bikini bottom or any of those.
Yeah.
Yeah, the bikini atoll.
Yeah, dude.
You just walk towards nuclear explosions.
It's like, hey, we got to write.
Joe, fucking private.
We don't like you that much.
Go that way.
Yeah.
Like that.
This is the shitbag private.
Yeah.
To be fair.
At least I got my mask on.
And the radio.
It's just just fucking murdering.
It's going to look really cool.
I was going to say that had to be a, like, no pun intended, once in a lifetime experience.
Just to fucking, that's rad.
Highfiving as you walk.
That's, uh, look, somebody get a picture.
Okay, this is awesome.
They did.
They had the courtesy to film all of it.
Imagine being able to say I was one of those guys.
Imagine being able to.
For a short amount of time.
You're dead.
Yeah.
Your DNA has been blown.
We really did.
We fucked a lot of those guys.
Not service related.
not so much no i mean those do russia the cancer rate on that was fucking absurd oh yeah
doesn't omit to the amount of numbers from Chernobyl they it's like 50 or it's a ridiculously
low number of like oh yeah they never met too they also russia i want to say just in the last couple
days came up with a uh the cure for cancer but yes exactly and they were like yeah no it's working
on everything it should be really good and it's like a vaccine for it for cancer and it's like
It reminds me of, I'm going to say, it's their Armada T-14 tank.
It's like, oh, yeah, no, it's going to work as well as that when they have to tow it off the military parade.
Like, no.
Like, cancer's a broad term.
Like, it's not one specific thing.
Like, you don't, it's not like curing a virus.
No.
It's like 18 different fucking individual things we all lumped into the word cancer.
That is what is so frustrating, especially for people that, like, you know, they go, oh, they're, you see a lot of the conspiracies that they're hiding the cure from cancer from you.
First off, if you're dying of cancer, that's the most brutal thing.
anyone could ever say to you and then also yeah which one because it's not one thing i think
the biggest like the thing that drives me crazy about that is that you have people like uh
steve jobs who was like objectively one of the richest people in the fucking world yeah and like
had the most uh most money writing on his name and his further continuation like making things
for the company died of fucking kidney cancer uh was it pancreas pancreas pancreatic he had it he had
knowledge on it at like phase one and he could have done more but he did a whole bunch of like natural
things and didn't do anything. And then it was too late by the time. If there was a cure,
like you don't think that guy might have had the access to it. That's what always gets me to
is like some of these like pharmaceutical companies, whatever you think about them, like their
executives, their CEOs get cancer and they're not going to use it. Like they wouldn't like,
because hey, give me that test vial 18B that we keep down in the basement. Yeah. I want you to go
down there just find the good stuff. Not that I'm putting it past pharmaceutical companies.
No. But yeah, I'm not like over here simping for a fucking, you know,
$500 billion pharmaceutical companies.
No, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, no, let's make that clear.
That's not the point.
It's the point is they would use it.
And it's just, it's more sad when they say it to people who believe that.
And then either die or get really sick thinking someone's keep, how brutal will that be?
Someone's keeping something from me like that.
Like that's, yeah, yeah, yeah, they're gatekeeping it.
Yeah.
I don't know if that is, yeah.
Yeah, what's up?
Get wreck.
Yeah, yeah.
This is a word and it's the cure for cancer.
gatekeeping the
DLC of living
to 80
oh my god
hate it when the DLC gets
gatecapped
so rough
dude even watching
your
did you see his buyer
bear
bear bear
I did
I've done the videos on bear
oh really yeah
I saw
Wendigoon did a video on that
I think too
I don't know shit
I think
I'm not sure
but I did a
I did a long form, but I've also done the short form on just everything Bear was involved with.
And, oh, my God, they were the worst.
They were so evil, but they also go back and forth between making drugs like aspirin, which is, you know, everybody uses.
And then drugs like heroish, which is their slang for heroin, like it's the, don't worry, it's the non-dictive version of morphine that they said it was.
And then they did like, they did something else awesome, Prontacil, which.
which was like the first antibiotic.
And then they did the gas for World War I.
Like they did phosphine and chlorine glass.
Okay, they did chlorine gas.
Yeah, the aphrine was the one I was thinking of.
Afrin?
Yeah, I was not thinking of Bayer, I'm sorry.
Oh, no, you're good.
But yeah, it's crazy.
Yeah, it's like, hey, they made aspirin.
Mm-hmm.
And then they also made all of this shit that was fucking
terrible. Oh, and then they did this, which is good.
Yeah. And then, holy
shit, they fucked everyone
with this one thing. And how you break that
down is wild, because I haven't seen it done
in that way.
But your
tangents, they're only, you keep them nice
tight and short. I'm like, man, this is so much
content in a single breakoff
story. Digestable.
Well, thanks. Try it.
Yeah. Dude,
it's been crazy. I've got
one coming up that's Hasbro.
And oh, yeah.
Yes, I was like, please bring this up because I don't know anything about it.
So Hasbro obviously does a ton of different toys.
Sure.
And they were the first that did Mr. Potato Head, which by the way, was just a regular potato.
They just sold the sharp sticks to put in things, which apparently they're not allowed to do anymore.
In the 60s, they were like, did you just sell children a whole bunch of sharp things?
Seven-year-old?
Yeah.
Oh, 100%.
The first Mr. Potato-head was just sharp, like, hands and stuff like that in a box so you could stab an actual potato.
So you have a seven-year-old looking at a sister like.
are you a potato
again
daddy
so running out three arms
what's a
what's a
fagger's alien
did you
cron and burger
sister
like that's horrible
yeah
a eyeball right here
a mouth on their cheek
we're not doing that morning
yeah
well I'm already
yeah
they did that
then they stole
the idea from Monopoly
uh it was
originally invented by a woman who I don't remember her name off the top of my head, but she
called it the landlords game. And it was supposed to show that like, yeah, landlords will
crush you and then the port, like the renters get screwed. And they were like, yeah, but
what if we refixed this so the children could crush their parents with debt? And that's how
monopoly got made. A guy named, oh, is it, oh, I don't want to, I don't want to say a name just because
someone's going to be like, I'm suing him. But it's like, John C. Monopoly. Yeah, John C. Monopoly.
that was the guy he uh steyne he stole the idea
wait hold on
john see monopoly stein got it cody
the one who apparently didn't have a fucking monocle
yeah yeah the that whole
you've seen that mandela effect yeah the mandala
yeah it's so crazy but yeah they stole that idea
and they bought it from parker brothers and then my favorite is
is them getting them come up their comeuppance from a guy
named lani johnson who is a nassah engineer
who ended up working on like the nuclear power for space probes and then also ended up working on
the stealth bomber program.
And so the coolest dude, he was at home playing with a heat sink at one point and water shot
out of it.
And that's how we have super soker because he figured out the pressure behind that.
And so he made super soaker.
He sold it to someone.
He should have kept getting paid royalties.
I think it was Laramie.
And then Hasbro just hid the royalties from him.
Like that guy couldn't do math.
Are you kidding?
And so he found out and he sued him
And he won like $73 million
Yeah, right? As he should. Yeah, right? As he should. And he's just
sailed off in the abyss. He works with kids now like helping them engineer stuff
He's like he's like one of my favorite people of all time
The more I learn about him and I'm like, damn.
How old is he know? He's like in 70s.
Bro, and now they don't even have Super Soakers anymore.
Really? Yeah, you can't you can't buy them during the summertime.
Why don't wait? You can get those little, the little pump ones, but you can't get like the ones we had his kids.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You could just like, fuck your friends, like, get up to their eyeballs
and hit them in the bridge and clear ones.
You're really not making a solid case for bringing them back.
Yeah, right up in their eyeballs.
Remember how we hurt people with them?
When that releases from their socket.
Do you know how fucking sad that is thinking, like, my kids won't have super soakers?
Do you still have your old ones?
If you can find them.
We're going to make a run on eBay right now.
Do when they evolved from like the little green ones?
had back in the 80s and they had the ones that were like
Excel 10,004
and it was just they're fucking this big
yeah the rich kids had it
yeah my parents could not
forward it. TX1 that was like that
big around yeah it's not a hose
it's just a hose that
walks around with them and you're like
The TX 1000 hydrofucker
It can't bathe those
pores that was the title
the poor bather
9000
do you hate poor kids and small animals we got you like that's oh my gosh
go be poor somewhere else yeah that's just why black poverty await yeah maybe the
people there hated kids clean those dirty yeah yeah advertising in the 80s was wild
guys they got away with a lot that was like I'm like looking up super suckers right now
I'm like, wait.
Yeah, you're not.
That's weird.
Because I really don't exist anymore.
But the real ones like, they don't, they don't have them anymore, man.
That's crazy.
Because I wanted to get my son one like a couple years ago during the summer.
And they don't have the pump action ones anymore.
Dang.
I mean, this post on Reddit is literally what happened to Super Soaker.
Oh, yeah.
These are all like really lame now.
Isn't it weird?
Yeah, they suck now.
I mean, we don't do a lot of shit outside.
Kids think when we grew up, we would go play these video games with each other on a split screen
TV. You don't do that anymore.
Oh, I'm going to go home and then I'll hop on
a lobby. I'll join with you. We'll get on Discord.
Man, but I remember the split screen
days were awesome. Land party shit.
Yeah.
Halo 1 on Xbox. Yep.
Original Halo. 64, just four
screen. Mario. Smash. Everybody
said they weren't screen looking and everybody
was. And everybody was screen looking.
And then you do the cardboard splitter.
I mean, my body. Or the sheet and take the sheet.
Yeah. And one person under your side.
It was like the Cold War. It's like, of
course we're not in cambodia yeah we were all nixon at that time yeah i did not look
i don't richard we all saw you okay now let ford have his turn okay he's trying his best
who literally 2009 marked the end of the super soaker yep whoa yeah no shit dude end of an era
dude that's crazy it's in the i want to say that is in the toy hall of fame though it has to
be no yeah yeah it's got to be you have those classics that will but it watching it change as
you stop interacting on it i'm going to my buddy's house that just didn't become a thing i don't
sleepovers i'm not does john even do that much no one does sleep over he hasn't done a sleepover
since he started school that's fucking it's not that he's a fucking loser okay
whoa whoa yeah no just like parents parents just don't do that shit anymore man i i miss like
You got Brandon.
I just...
I just thought like...
I didn't say that.
What did I do?
A completely separate thought.
I'm like,
Cody's had sleepovers at my place,
but it's because he can't drive home.
You've had more sleepovers at Brandon than John has.
It's like a bell curve of like being an adult.
Yes.
Oh, wait, I need sleepovers.
I'm too old for sleepovers.
Hey, bro.
Can I crash?
Yeah.
Bro, if I don't crash, I will crash.
Please let me say.
Family of four is going to be unhappy.
Unhappy.
Unhappy.
I don't know.
Even like living in neighborhoods
because I've lived in some pretty cool
fucking neighborhoods with kids around John's age.
And we would take our bicycles out.
And you got to be home when it's getting dark.
And like kids just don't hang out.
And everyone's online or on their cell phones.
And I sound like the old man now.
Hello.
Dude.
These kids in their cell phones.
Dude, we talked about it earlier too, but like that, that whole media overload,
the screen time that is getting out of it.
I mean, since COVID, it's jumped by 17% like for 13 to 18 year olds.
And it's now up to like nearly eight hours a day.
I want to say it's seven hours and 22 minutes.
Yeah.
Which think about that.
If you have everything at your, at the touch of your fingers, why would you do anything else?
But it's, I feel like every generation's like that to a degree.
Like there was, um, you read the old.
stuff about books and things like that.
Oh, these kids won't get the books out of their hands.
I mean, our parents, our grandparents' generation, or like our parents' generation,
even, like, look at these people that are, look at these kids.
They're just in front of the video games all day while they're playing together,
you know, like the split screens kind of stuff.
It's like, oh, back in my day, we'd just all gather around and beat a possum to death.
Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
If E.T. was real.
Me of my friends would have killed him with a hammer.
Oh, my God.
hell yeah brother he's buried like that would have beat him to racy's pieces he went home
like that's yeah he's with god now he is with he's with our lord and savior
do not save him yeah you do you do wonder where well especially you're seeing like
studies about like loneliness depression things like that they're affecting kids so much like
you're wondering like where we're going is there going to be a turn back you do see also a lot of gen z kids now picking up what they're they're calling like grandma hobbies where people are learning to crochet and they're learning to do things and it's kind of cool it is kind of cool yeah i just like the idea of like people hopefully bringing something back and you know because yeah i think there's a lot you can get through screens there's a lot you can get like talking like the same social interaction through discord whatever but there's something about analog just real world shit like even people are looking at now the way that uh going out stepping outside
in the morning and looking at the sun and just being in the sunlight the way that it affects
like the way your body regulates cortisol and all sorts of caveman brain shit that you can't
supplement and like just like those things like being around other people and having like
looking another grown fucking motherfucker in the eye and having a real honest human conversation
like a computer can't do that yeah when i'm when i'm doing like a lot of my healthy stuff
i'll get up in the morning and before looking at my phone i'll just walk around the block two or three
times yeah yeah like fucking feels great man it does i think there's something so nice about and
you mentioned like our brains are still i mean think about how much technology and our lives have
changed in the past 50 years 100 years clearly humanity is not adapted to that yet so of course we still
need the sun and we still need like exercise and all these things because yeah at no point are we
did our bodies go oh no we can sit for 12 hours a day that's gonna we're gonna no no that's gonna be
great for your heart and your blood vessels and your brain and yeah
And I talk about this with like parasycial relationships.
Absolutely.
Stuff like that.
We weren't ready for TV, let alone the goddamn internet.
No.
The idea that you can spend hundreds of hours watching somebody who's relating to you as a person, because that's what we do is like creators.
It's like, you know, of course.
Want to relate to people, you know, be able to make them laugh and like, you know, stuff like that.
Make their day better.
Yeah, yeah.
But being able to spend hundreds, if not like a thousand plus hours with somebody, all of your brain chemicals are firing.
off friend person I trust you know all this stuff under no circumstance in the millions of years
that we have been a thing has that ever been possible while the other person is firing off signals
of I have met you for 12 seconds you were a stranger yeah that is not a scenario that ever could have
occurred no kidding that just now has started to happen and I don't think humanity was ready for it
no no I don't think I don't think I'm totally with you where I don't think that we've been ready
for the change that has come
to us. I think it's interesting as it goes
further with AI and things like that, what are we
We're not ready. I'm not ready for that. No, either
my. In 100 years,
we went from no AC, no fridge,
ice, any of that shit to, hey,
look what we can do. Here is quantum
computing. Yeah. A hundred years
that has happened.
And 60,000 years of
homo sapiens like, hey, we can
do what we do. That
did not exist. And I was like, here,
a fucking hundred years,
blah,
I figured out,
you're like,
what the,
in just over a hundred years,
we went from a shitty 12 second flight from a couple of
bicycle mechanics in Kitty Hawk,
North Carolina to a billionaire just sent a car to Mars for fun.
Because he could.
Like,
that's funny.
Funny.
What a weird.
And we can talk about it instantly to each other.
And that's the thing.
The communication.
is something that none of us were ever prepared for and communication around the like the whole
globalization of oh i don't know someone in slovakia can tell me i'm a douche in 12 seconds that sucks
like that's a real bummer and and 10 of those seconds are because of shitty slovakian internet yeah
that's the thing but it's like why the why does that yeah and no one was ready for it the creators
weren't ready for it because you're not ready to be told by someone who's nine years old in in the
Philippines that he hates the way my smile looks and then but for some reason at the same time
they weren't ready to have this parisocial relationship where unfortunately my dumb ass face
pops up all the time and they goes I hate that guy you know what I mean like that sucks for him
too uh what a time to be alive movie stars was that big change beginning yeah yeah because it was
like oh look at these people all they had to experience it for 80 years before then it's like
oh everyone oh it went from silent
films and then those silent films died off into like hey here is talking colored action and
silent film artists that didn't know how to you like dropping the sea word dear god i know
but they they didn't know how to talk or whatever when it came to actually hey this is actual
film film but then you built these social relationships with movie stars and that was the next
big thing and now we are that next wave of you get to look at putify or
any of the old YouTubers.
Fucking Pewty Pie.
Orange.
What was it?
Anoying Orange.
Noge.
Fred.
Marcel de Shell.
Fred.
Fred.
Yes.
I've actually met Fred in real life.
Yeah.
But years later, like, when we were both adults.
And it was like, wait a minute.
And then him being thrown into that world of like,
ah, Pewty by being thrown in the world.
It's like, here's a hundred million subs.
How do you do that?
It's like, oh, by the way, you're going to be bigger than movie stars.
Fucking, Mr. Beast.
I guarantee he gets recognized more than any person other than, like, maybe Tom Cruise and, like, fucking, like, brand pit.
Yeah.
And then is that still, he might get recognized more than those guys because you're looking at half a billion subscribers.
Man, you also think about, like, they get thrown into it.
And we've seen the speed run of that recently.
It was with the Hawk to a girl.
Oh, God.
She got Haley, um, I don't know, Welch.
Welch.
She did it so right and then went so wrong, so fast.
And then immediately crypto and it immediately crashed and burned.
And it was just like, wow.
Which shows you.
Can you imagine that whiplash?
Like, I think we've all been on the internet for quite some time now, correct?
Oh, yeah.
But it's just one of those things where it's like built things up, moved it up.
She in, out.
Like, what would you?
Dude, I thought she was going to be the first one to get that five seconds of fame and do it proper because she did.
She's like, I'm going to wait to do anything, talk about it.
And then when she came back, she's like, oh, it's just, I'm just, I'm hell.
helping dog shelters and stuff.
And you're like, holy shit, she might not fuck this.
Okay.
And she did.
And crypto scam.
Yeah.
And you're like, well, crypto rubble.
Yeah.
I feel like that's kind of the nice part about, I think the way, at least I think all, the
way we all did things is, you know, success came kind of slow in the beginning.
Yeah.
Or really not at all in the beginning.
And then mostly that, yeah, started coming a little bit later.
Failure came.
Yeah.
You get to adjust to it.
Yeah.
You know, you get to kind of find your full.
before every mistake you make is national news well i got great news if i did anything right now
it would still not be national news so i think i'm just thankful to be on the podcast to be
right now watch national news you can make it buddy oh gosh i can honestly say
yeah don't hold yourself back i just i got a few things to say just start with that i can
honestly say that's a nice position to be in yeah man that's oh brother i don't
I don't envy it for like, that's, you're doing hard work, and I'm just sitting here and just like, I do giggles, and that's all I'm happy to do.
There's a thing that I say with a friend of mine, like, remember when we were just YouTubers?
That was really fun.
Why the fuck did we fuck that up?
Yeah, it was good.
It was fine.
It was wonderful.
Nothing was broken.
Sorry.
What?
Sorry, I talked to you.
You didn't, you weren't the one who fucking, you didn't pull the trigger.
It does sound like you talked him up the ledge.
that's you should do it brun
brain you should do it
booze yeah i was already thinking
about it cody and jim
and james
it was
i don't know i'm just i'm that spiteful
like if you're doing things that i i hate that much
yeah i'll throw my life away for that
yeah i just uh you know what i got nothing better going on
like that's like i got time
hey as the guy that's wasted a whole bunch of his time hunting scammers
which i get no reward for but i just like dicking with them
Yeah. My goal was to be the bad guy's bad guy. You know what I mean? I like that. I like that a lot. That's I guess my goal too. That's uh, same same but different. Same same maneuver. Yeah. I'm on team being petty as shit also. That's also. Yeah. I just, I like it when bad things happen to bad people. Isn't it? It's so satisfying. My wife is always the one who's like, you know, you get the question. If you had a genie, you could ask for anything in the world, what would it be? She's always like, I wish instant karma existed for everyone. And I was like, you're, you got a dark little.
heart there. Like, that's, but
true. Like, can you imagine? People would be so
much... Population decline immediately.
You rob someone,
your dick falls off.
Jesus, Cody.
Also, I love that that's your even keel for
that. Like, oh man, he took 40 bucks
in my wallet. What the?
Why?
I will give you her money back, but we got
a trade. It's like the South Park thing.
Oh, hi, look, his dick's flying off.
Yeah.
Yeah, oh.
Mine.
My, mine.
Ha.
It was trade bitch.
I like that.
Oh.
That is a weird thing, too, of history.
Is just the amount of, like, dick collecting.
Dude.
Yes.
Rasputin.
John Dillinger.
Like, there's,
wait.
That's the only two I can actually think of off the top of my head.
Allegedly.
He had a hog on him, though.
Yeah, apparently it was.
Oh, I think it's still in the museum.
No, allegedly it's hit.
I think it's like they are pretty sure it's just off a horse or something.
Like, I'm dead serious.
No way.
Oh, it's a hog.
But, like, I'm pretty sure it was just kind of like.
I hate this is going in my Google search history.
Oh, you can look up the pictures.
Rasputin's dick.
Apparently, he was just like this stinky nasty man, but everyone, like the women would come from miles away just to like hook up with all.
Yeah.
Because, yeah, it was just a weird guy that was a wise man.
And then everyone was like, you know what?
you see that today though do you do you not just see people that you're like how the hell does this
person how is this working right now i mean well and random women meaning like the wife of the czar
yeah the zarina yeah that's even crazy so they kept him along because he was able to calm down
alexei who had hemophilia so it would stop his bleeding and so it was he was the only thing that
could do it and it was really just the fact that alexei probably psychologically got
comfortable with respute and taking him down so it would slow his blood rate so it would finally
clot. So yeah, how crazy
is that, like, and then yeah, you just need him
around because we don't have clotting
medicine, so instead we got a sticky hermit
who's going to be, yeah, who bangs everything.
Yeah, who bangs everything. And then, like, he drinks
constantly, eats everything and is very gross. And apparently
extraordinarily hard to kill. Yeah, it's
so hard to kill. Made of just pure adamantium
and Russian vodka rage. Like it was just
poison him, fucking shot him.
Yeah. Dound him in the river.
I think that's what finally took him out, but took everything.
They threw the kitchen sink at that guy.
You heard of Michael McCoy, or I'm going to say, it's, it's, Michael McCoy?
But it was a, it's the guys in New York that tried to poison this Irish guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, to take the insurance payout.
Yes, they tried to get the insurance.
They, like, took insurance out on this guy, and they're like, we can fucking kill him.
And no, you couldn't.
And he wouldn't fucking die.
They gave him an unlimited tab.
They were like, he's going to drink himself to death.
Oh, this.
Sam O'Neillah Academy did one about him.
Yes, yes, yes.
The little cartoon stick cartoon guy.
Yes, love that guy.
Yeah.
And he, exactly that where it's, yeah, they gave him wood alcohol,
which should make someone go blind.
At bare minimum.
And he just fine, walked it off.
They hit him with a car.
He was like, fine.
I think one shot or two shots of wood alcohol, like causes you to go permanently blind.
Yes, yes, it does.
Like, it's a very small amount.
It's tiny.
Also, apparently like, was it like an ounce?
of powdered caffeine can kill you.
Like if it's powdered because it's so pure.
If it's pure, I know nicotine's
very deadly. Really? I actually totally didn't know
that. Yeah, nicotine? Yeah, you do not fucking.
It's on the warning of every package.
No, I've been killed me instantly, but yes.
Really? You don't know nicotine was bad for it.
I learned that in the anarchist cookbook
when I was 11. Right?
Wow. Did you have the original anarchist
cookbook? Yeah. Yeah. I got a
Got it off lime wire.
Yep.
Oh, no, you probably had the Jolly Roger version.
Oh, I had the Jolly Roger.
I mean, okay.
Holy shit.
They teach you how to take a can of dip and like take, get the, like, concentrated nicotine
out of it.
And for the sake of a podcast, that's as far as we'll go on that.
Yeah.
They also teach you how to make napalm.
And again, that's as far as we should go with.
Which is like, there's like three different ways.
It's absurdly easy.
Don't Google it.
Please don't.
Yeah.
Please don't play.
Well, actually, no, that's my favorite.
It's highly legal for me to say.
That's my favorite part about YouTube.
They're like, we can't say it, but you can go to the company that fucking owns YouTube, which is Google, and find it in like four seconds.
These exact words, blah.
Yeah.
Nicotine, estimate 50 to 60 milligrams, which is crazy as Zen is now up to 12.
Oh, the ones in Europe are like 50.
Whoa.
50 to 60 is a lethal dose to a 160 pound human.
Probably like straight to the bloodstream, though, right?
I don't know. It's like you put alcohol in your ass.
Yeah.
But nicotine itself, that's why.
As one does.
Do we know if the donuts just pull that out of nowhere?
You guys know ass alcohol.
I do.
My ass alcohol level?
Yeah.
What's your guys?
A.A.O.
I won't docks him, but there was a friend of mine who did admit to doing that in college.
And I was just like, I always thought that that was a f***ing meme.
I didn't think.
Booth in the booze?
Oh, yeah.
Like an actual like vodka tampon.
Oh yeah?
Yeah, dude.
Fuck no.
Once again, you could not have waterboarded that out of me.
No.
I fucking knew this Marine who would go into the bathroom with a box of tampons and cheap vodka and come out trashed, you know.
Jesus.
Yeah.
What?
I don't know.
Also, I don't know a single person that like drinks for the sake of like I want to be immediately fucked up.
Like I just want to be.
But we are in a very different group of friends.
also that's true if we if i brought one of those friends around cody or you brought a friend that was
that type we would be like brandon have your friend can't hang out anymore your friend scares me
let's do 19 shots of tequila and then fucking pass out in a bush it's like you know your friend
walked in went to the bathroom is now drunk in five minutes also there's strings hanging as
ass I don't know if that's related shit passed it on the floor brandy where he's like a party
Brian, where did you meet him?
Yeah, yeah.
The naval base.
You should send him home.
I made a joke about that.
I don't know if you see my Lewis gun video yet.
I haven't watched it.
It just came out today.
I made a joke about that because it was a, it was a, you know, the Lewis, the, the, the
pan fed, uh, light machine gun.
Yeah.
World War I style like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was a design in 1911, uh, was produced heavily by the British.
It was made by an American produced by the British heavily during World War I was used
at some degree in World War II.
eight six right uh no uh american was 30 out six british
three oh three godish yeah but yours piss off bray just call bro i'm ignoring ely i'm ignoring
eli on purpose um brandon punches me yeah it's a human there is no community anymore
brandon goes ultra instinct beast is shit i hit all the proper quick time events
I was like, that's it.
That's the line, Brandon.
That was the podcast.
I watched Brandon go QTE.
Oh, like, that's crazy.
It was a U.S. Navy model.
This one in particular was built in 1917 for the U.S. Navy.
So it had U.S.N. on it and had a little insignia of an anchor on the receiver.
Like, you can also tell, by the way, that it plows through men.
I couldn't get that line out to save my fucking lines.
I couldn't do it with a straight face.
like six fucking times and I'm just like fuck I guess it's over yeah I guess that's like wow I'm
going to say this thing fucks dudes I mean but I was just sitting there waiting that was like my
landmine in case you watched it on stream you're just going to slowly watch him cross over that's so
cool I love any of that like history like weaponry and stuff like that there's just so many cool
oh there's so many cool like it's it's super interesting to
me like I just I love that shit man do we get to do it is one of the funnest shit even with
the guys like Tyler talking about CQB a T4s yeah oh being in the war and never experiencing
that and he's like you you shot one of those I'm like fuckhead what no I've never heard of a
CQB a T4 no neither of I was like like water tamped on the back blast or something like that
it's fucking crazy okay because that's casting fireball indoors I want to let you guys
But it's a Delta, it's when you have like the top tier operators that are like, yeah, we have access to thermobar grenades and all this stuff.
And he's talking about it.
And we're at the same war.
I'm like, bro, what?
I was playing on New Game Plus?
This is stupid.
Why didn't I have that shit?
What did the battle?
No, imagine being the guy that two years ago, the only thing he did for a living was herd sheep.
I know.
And that's it.
And then you got this fucking guy.
So you're talking to these guys and you're like, wait, that exists even?
That's crazy.
You had them.
And when they say that, it's like, I assure you, homie, totally different war.
Same government.
Different tools.
We had different wheels attached to our cars.
This was not.
Holy shit.
You were playing on a modded server, my friend.
that was not base game no but you get to hear stuff like that and you get to see the weapons
being developed and how they use it and you're like holy shit this is this is different yeah we seriously
we got to bring you by the shop at some point though I think you'd fucking love it oh I probably would
that sounds awesome it's like an arms museum really I see I love anything we did uh drive tanks
oh yeah oh yeah love them and did that with uh and so got to like go in and see everything I was
like oh man this is pretty crazy I love drive tank
is like fucking violent Disneyland.
It is.
It's great. It's great.
We love those guys.
That's where I met Grant,
narrator.
Yeah, because we'd been talking a line.
I was like, dude, I'm coming down to Texas.
And I was like, driving tanks.
We'll drive tanks together?
He was like, hell yeah.
And so, it's so surreal,
because you can drive tanks
and there's zebras crossing,
and you're like, what is happening here?
Am I playing the first Far Cry game?
Like, this is insane.
I'm literally like, yeah,
driving a leopard tank
and like trying not to hit the kudu.
It's like, where the fuck am I?
Yeah, what happened?
here. So cool.
Africa Simulator.
Yeah. I'm like, why the fuck
would I go to Africa when I can just drive to Yuvaldi?
That's an outfit. No, his
fucking how he sits.
Like, bro. His third world squat.
Dude, with his shoulders resting on his
kneecaps. Why?
I don't know how you can do that.
Maybe you're comfy sometimes.
Like, that's, I actually
don't know where all of his organs are.
I know. Like, if I'm real
with you, like there's something.
I know, he's crucified himself.
He's, I'm like, bro.
With his own legs.
I got to be honest, man, Ghalm would look at him and be like, bro, you need to stretch.
Like, this is crazy.
Oh, my God.
I am here for that.
You're like, ah, get away from me.
But he will spend so much time on that one scene now.
And I can't, he's actually posting that on.
He's like, I am doing it for my YouTube so I can make hundreds of monies.
He doesn't call him dollar shit.
I'm like, brother, they call dollars.
It's like monies.
Dollars, monies.
Okay, that's what we'll run with right now.
Look, you know what?
If you have hundreds of monies, it's not going to matter what you say.
You whip that out, somebody's going to give you what you want.
Okay.
I just get this.
The final scene.
Why is he bowing to it?
He has to get the perfect shot.
Autism.
If Brandon looked like that before the podcast,
we might be sides.
Listen.
When I got cyber, it's like, welcome to my AK-50.
But you know what I'm saying?
It's like everybody's got like they're in a hurry to have like, oh, I'm neurodivergent and I'm special this way.
It's like you put it in like, oh, I'm this, this, this in my bio.
Like it's a fucking badge of honor.
It's like, no.
We've talked about, like, as you're saying, you're like, eh, eh, you can qualify it at that level and you're like, at.
I'll joke about having like some tism ticks or whatever the fuck.
But like, I'm not going to go, like, we were talking about.
with like Disney World or like you try to qualify for the disability to get like you know ride
privilege or whatever like some of these families do like that's fucking crazy that's pretty
intense yeah it's I'm fat let me ride for yeah I'm chunky yeah no I don't watch isn't
watch go wait in line if you love a god walk there like that they make you walk extra
far you just keep going arch stretches are they just they have like a treadmill on wheels
that you have to walk the entire, like, uh, Q line.
Oh my God, you just have to keep going, keep making it work.
You have steps before allowed on the ride.
That'd be great.
You must walk this far before entering this ride.
Isn't it hungry or there's one European country
that you can do squats to pay for like your bus ride?
And I don't remember who it is, but it's like,
that's a terrible idea.
Dude, the homeless people will be so jacked.
They'll be leaping from building to business.
Running from the cops so incredibly well.
Wait, I've seen crackdown.
This is crazy.
all the cops
hate this idea
yeah
that'd be
wow yeah
every guy
I'm gonna have to
wrestle
is like an
mama fighter
he's got
crazy jujitsu moves
this is
I wasn't
ready
through me
yeah
I just
picture
I don't think
about that
at all
money
you're like
no
he's like
oh
it just blows
away
he's like
what the fuck
his fucking
thighs
just kick him
wherever he wants
like
what the fuck
dude you were
so powerful
if all
only I'd known.
Swaths.
What is your
favorite time
for history
right now
with the content
you do?
Ooh,
I always love
any of like
the last
150 years,
I want to say.
That tends to be like
kind of a good zone.
I love that you
narrowed it down.
Yeah.
Want to keep it
in the wheelhouse.
Yeah.
Just because,
I mean,
what the fuck?
You're like 13th
century outer Mongolia.
Yeah.
That's specific, and I like it.
To be fair, excellent time.
Wild time to be a farmer.
Bad time to be not Mongolian.
No, there's so many.
It's one of the only times that's true.
Yeah, seriously.
Got it so much.
And then they've just been sandwiched between Russia and China for the rest of life.
And it's like, man, that's rough, dog.
Like, that's a tough place to be.
Strong start.
They're just Asian Poland.
Gosh, they really kind of are.
yeah just yeah and unfortunately russia's scary on both ends of that one poland and them yeah yeah it's
yeah but i love i love anything mostly because we have enough technology and enough stuff
i'm terrified at what you thought it's like a game of pool like either they play winner
oh russia again i guess yeah okay here we are i got a different winner different player too
yeah word there's there's so much so we have so much information about it one of my
favorite things it's got to be like the uh the russian baltic fleet
that in the early, like, the Sino-Japanese War, or the Russian Russo-Sino War, essentially,
no, no, no, because that's Chinese.
Russia tried to fight Japan.
It went horribly.
And they essentially, they had their, their more Eastern fleet.
Sino-Japanese, yes.
Yeah, thank you.
They had their fleet, but it got kind of wrecked.
So they were like, we're going to send the Baltic fleet to back them up.
If you guys don't know where the Baltics are, it's not even freaking close.
So they would have to go all the way around, including they ended up having to go around Africa
because they wanted to go through, but people wouldn't let them through because they kept
thinking they were being attacked by Japanese submarines.
They were near Denmark.
They weren't even close.
And so they're firing at random fishing boats.
And at one point, they fire across and they kill the Russian Orthodox priest on their boat.
And then they're just, they're bouncing around from ports.
They're taking all sorts of animals as fun pets.
they ended up their freezer broke and they get the absolute just they'd get the brakes beat off them like they didn't do anything they literally one of their medical ships signaled to what they thought was another russian ship hey we're here friendly in the area russians and so the japanese who they signaled to were like open fire like that was that was it they got they got beaten to death yeah and i just love how crazy it was that they went through the whole thing like the guy the let's put like this
The captain of the main Russian fleet, he had a crate of binoculars because he was known for getting so angry.
He would just throw him overboard.
They brought a crate for just him because he's just kind of an idiot.
I love that so much.
Yeah.
Weird times.
I fucking love history.
It is one of my favorite things to just watch how mankind changes.
And you get to see the different communications falling apart.
And also it doesn't change.
Yeah.
homie, have our backs.
We're going to make sure you get
this entire journey.
The whole thing.
Until you land on us.
It's a really weird
analogy to make, but it's kind of like the movie
Prey, like the Predator movie.
Oh, yep.
Where it's like, history is pretty much the same
with a different setting.
Yeah.
It's the same fucking story over and over again
with different players and different weapons.
It doesn't circle, but it rhymes.
Like that kind of thing?
Yeah.
No, it really is.
I fucking love that.
On that note, Mr. Ryan,
