Maybe I'd be more of a car guy. I had no idea how to respond to that.

I got to be like, oh, I know this. This podcast is just turned into us, like, remembering we read on the fucking internet. Say hi to Eli. He's racially ambiguous, Brandon. His hair is fucking fabulous. Don't I, a dark joke disposition. There's a fat electrician.

unsubscribe. Three, two, one. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the unsubscribe podcast. I'm joined here today by Eli Double Tap. I'm a huge asshole right now. Vin, actually. Well, actually Vin.

I was trying to... I'm actually then. I was trying to think of the actual Instagram name. Actually, Vin. Oh, actually, Ben. It's the same everywhere. Yeah. It's even better.

Just keep digging. Just keep digging. Yeah, no, it's fine. Anyways. Brandon Herrera. He's running for Congress. I'm an asshole. Donut, you're a little hairier today.

It happens. I shaved some. I knocked it down. I took it down to a two. It feels better. This is pretty leading next to me. Dude, I seriously wonder if we could Velcro shit.

Do you know? You probably could. It wouldn't surprise me. Dude, the fit electrician over here. I don't, dude, I was looking at photos when you first started on tub. Huge difference.

I think we only lost like 20 pounds. Not that much. 20 pounds. That's a decent bit. We'll see. Muscle, too. Your close fit different, I guarantee that. I've seen a lot more shirtless videos being posted of you by your wife.

There's been one. That's more. That's a 100% increase. Exponentially more. That's just more. While I'm unclogging a drain. I'm like, I see that fit electrician. Why are you unclogging Hannah?

Bro. What? She's like, I don't know why. How come my drain out? We have like the hers, his and hers sinks. She's like, how come my, my sank always clogs and yours doesn't? And I was like, she has, she has shelves. She has a, a shelf sitting on it with, and it's like 30 bottles of shit layer, another 30 bottles of shit that she rubs all over her face every night and then washes it down the drain.

It's like, you're just, you're dumping petroleum down the, rain every night. It clogs it. Like, I don't know what to tell you. Like, what do you mean? I was just thinking like four tears of her shit. And I'm like, over on your side, it's just a razor. Okay, I see her point. I have a toothbrush and toothpaste. The end.

Deodorant. That's not getting washed down the sink. Like, it's fine. The shower, I don't know if you have the showers that just start like walking shower. It starts to. Yeah, start into a bathtub because the hair is now clogged it. Yes. You have longer hair.

So it's a, no, thank you. And then you just remove it, pull out a rat, throw it away. And then, yeah, relationships, women. Can't live with him. Can't have sex without him. Well, the Greeks found away. Jesus Christ. Hey, welcome, Vince.

Welcome to the podcast. Thanks, guys. Yeah, you do very politically correct family-friendly content. How did you end up here? Um, great question. Eli's in his car era. That's how? Yeah, yeah. Eli likes cars. I like cars. For most guys, that's enough for it to just click and boom, somehow we're friends.

So you wind up racist. Yep. Are you going to have to? What's your favorite race? Just. Oh, my gosh. How do you get into those guys? I don't know. We both like cars and now. I'm going to meetings.

Yeah. Different racing helmets. Hmm. I will say all the guys have watched your content one form or another because Nick brought up the three pedals

multiple times I think my friends sent me that clip cool I guess I'm making it now it's funny shit sweet we got to convince you to do maybe you've done them already and I'm a even bigger asshole

I haven't seen all your videos but I want you to do a whole series on Smokey Unic Oh, dude, I'll get to that. The F1 stuff is technical and nerdy, but the Smoky Unix stuff, that's just devious. It's just, we are blatantly doing illegal things. I have no idea what that is. This is, okay, well, give a quick, so not who you are really quick.

So people are like, we're just throwing everyone in the deep end right now. That's fair. What the fuck is going on? I like cars. I make Formula One content, particularly about teams who cheat. Formula One is like a science fair for cars. It's always evolving. Teams are always striving to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build the fastest thing possible.

It's like fighter jets with a steering wheel. But the rules are so complicated. Something always gets lost in translation. There's always a way out of making some way to make your car faster that someone hasn't thought of. Yes. The way it was always described to me is it was like an engineering competition disguised as a race. Pretty much. Being run by an HOA.

I like that, unfortunately. I like that. Well, everything is very rules-based there. Even if you find a way to cheat, as long as you did it by the book, you did it correctly, you can get away with it for a little bit. Now, when we get to NASCAR, when we get to Smokey Unic, that is more so just, oh, no, no, this is not allowed, but I'm going to do it anyway. But I'm going to get away with it. His favorite line, if you're not cheating, you're not trying, it's never a war crime the first time. Exactly.

Yeah. Man built an empire on that. Smokey Unic was a, I believe he was a bomber crew in a bomber crew in World War II. And then comes back and becomes a NASCAR driver. Smoky Unik? Yeah. As in like, not that kind of,

Unic. I mean, not that kind. That's how you pronounce it, right? Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, no, dude cheated at everything. He's got legendary ways of cheating. Some of them were against the rules blatantly.

Some of them weren't. Here's just an easy example. Formula One, Ferrari found that a rule said that you can't flow more than this much fuel, so they timed the sensor to see how fast it was working, and in the moments where the sensor wasn't measuring it, they told the fuel pump to put just a bit more fuel in. So like, very nerdy, very complicated, very... I mean, I guess you got like 5% more fuel in the pic-o seconds it's not looking at it. Cheating, but nobody would ever catch it.

Exactly, like such a minute thing. And then you look at Smokey Unic, hey, we're gonna dip this car in acid. And it's going to weigh a lot less. Structural integrity? If you crash, will you die? Likely. But look how fast it is. More in line with his.

That's what they're doing to get more fuel. Smokey Unix looked at the rulebook and was like, it says I can only have a gas tank this big. It doesn't say how big the fuel line can be. So he put a two inch fuel line in his car. So we have an extra seven gallons of gas. Yeah. They made him drop the tank and the legend is after they took the tank off and told him he was disqualified.

He's like, well, that sucks and then drove off anyways because there's so much fuel in the line. I didn't know that. All right. I already. I already like this. Dude's a legend. Dude's a legend. I want to get around to making it, but I still feel like there's so much I have to learn when it comes to storytelling.

I'm so happy I'm getting the views and the audience. now. It's such a blessing, but I can still be a much better storyteller. And to do it justice, that guy is insane and it will take an insane amount of effort to do it justice, I feel. So I'll get around to it. His basketball. Oh, yeah. He also used to, because like, for my understanding, I could be getting this wrong, but like they used to roll up empty, we'll fill your gas tank, and that's how we'll know that you have the right size tank. Well, he was like, okay, he put a bigger tank in, but then put a basketball inside the tank, inflated it

to displace enough gas, and then after he passed the test, he'd pop the basketball and yank it out, so then he had extra gas. And then I believe he also, the 7-8s. Didn't he do that? This is, so insane. It's like, oh, it's not confirmed, but it is,

if you want to read that one, I have the actual whole story. You're a better story telling. Seven-eighths? Wait, just listen. This man, again, just give it a second. If you ain't, you try it. This 19. This 1967 Chevy Chevelle race car is considered by many to be Smokey units Magnum Opus. Although the popular urban legend claims that the car was actually 7-8 scale version of a stock Chevelle, the truth is it's perhaps a little bit less wacky than that. Still, the modifications to the car were significant.

Smokey moved the body of the car backwards, three inches for better weight distribution, raised the floor, smoothed out the underside of the car for better aerodynamics, and made the bump. and fenders flush with the rest of the body. In other words, even though it looked like it, the car was longer, was no longer a stock Chevelle. So like this all basically gets summed up is he made a seven, eight scale race car of the car. And nobody noticed because it's just from, okay, from what I've heard, this, this didn't touch on it. Excuse me. Is when, when he did that with the Chevelle, that was allegedly a new model.

And so they needed to confirm against a normal Chevelle that that is the right thing. Because like if someone just brings you a car, it's like, oh, yeah, that's the car. Well, actually, I don't know. We need to compare it to the stock one. He built another one but was stock and left it in the parking lot. So when they looked at it and they went, oh, this looks a little weird, but I guess it's fine. Oh, guys, when I was pulling it, I saw one in the parking lot. We could just go compare it to that one.

Yeah. He didn't even say it was his. level of fucking genius I love it. I forgot about that. He didn't even say it was his. He's like, there's one parked out. We can go measure it real quick.

There's a problem. They go out and measure it. Son of the bitch. Tell me that's it. Yeah. Insane. Man, don't hate the player, dude. Dude,

home is just having the best life. Formula One, it's crazy because you have their three pedal. You have so many different things in Formula One that happened. even the Braun team. Yes. And they did an extra diffuser. Just because the verbiage was.

Oh, gosh. I forget exactly what it was. But in essence, if you're looking from below the car, a certain piece of the car can't do a certain thing. And in essence, what they figured out was, well, if we just put another one on top of it, you can't see it from below. So we can just have two of them. Science. And yeah, it's amazing. The rulebook is so thick.

It rivals like the United States tax code, blah, whatever. So you can find something in there if you're determined enough. I'm going to sound like, I don't watch a lot of racing, but I'm going to sound like an asshole. I hate the rules. Or I at least want an open class. You know what I mean? I've said the same thing about MMA. Like, have an open class where you just let them blast as much steroids as you want, just because I want to see it.

You know what I mean? Like let the, let the engineer. nerds strap some dude to a rocket ship and send him around the track. I want to see it. Dana, please. Get us the open division. Dude, open division UFC would sell way more tickets. That's what I'm saying. And then like, how much cooler would it be? Then it's not being the champ champ isn't two weight classes. You could be the clean guy that goes and unifies and beats the steroid guy and be the ultimate champ of that weight class, like clean and you're able to beat everybody on steroids too.

Yeah, you got Demetrius Johnson versus Bain. I'm taking DJ. I'm going to be honest with you. I mean, I would be hard-pressed to bet against him, but no, that would be very interesting to have like the peak of like the steroid division versus clean. I don't know because I feel like the guys who would opt to do it naturally would probably be better like technical fighters. And then the guys who would just blast steroids would just be funter to watch.

But I mean, I get, I guess I get. get it for like race car because like if you you can make a car that can outperform the human body at this point and people are just going to get hurt like i get that m m m m i also get because it's a contact sport you're punching and kicking people you don't want something to do to punch through another guy's head you know what i mean people are also getting hurt but like baseball fucking let them blast all the gear they want what are they going to hit too many home runs who gives a fuck well they're doing that now the steroid olympics yeah right i heard yeah that's like an actual thing the enhanced games no this is news to me this is obvious they they're They made a big deal about it and it was basically like they were basically doing the Olympics, but you could be on whatever you wanted. And they were, it didn't go that great. They were anticipating breaking a lot of world records.

And I think one guy came close to breaking like one. A lot of it's going to, because those athletes would be too far. If you're training your entire. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It was all the, all the people that are actually the best weren't willing to go blast a bunch of gear and lose out on the Olympics. So they were getting like somebody that would have placed. or whatever to start blasting gear. And apparently that wasn't a big enough of a difference maker.

Weightlifting, I think you could do some. Yeah, much more likely to be Mr. Olympia in the, you know, enhanced games. Also, Mr. Olympia, famous for being a clean sport. Same thing with strong man competitions. Everybody's clean in that. Sure. Come on. Chicken and rice, dude.

Yeah. You forgot the broccoli. I do love the strong man competitions because it's like, nobody even asks. Everybody just knows. It's like, yeah, they're all blasting outrageous. amounts of gear. Nobody cares. Like, I want to see you think you're an excavator. Go. I want to see. I'm sorry. I was what? Throw the boulder over that fucking high jump five times. I want to see Eddie Hall think

he's construction equipment. You can make it happen. Garner, you've been sitting on a business idea? Oh, I've got so many business ideas, Eli. My newest one is that I'm going to sell pants to slugs. Well, Brandon, Tell him what he can do about that. I'm going to sell salt washed jeans to slugs. You're f***ing with my customer base, man. Well, either way, you can find your customer base and sell to them on Shopify.

I don't know how many slugs are on Shopify. More than you'd think. Are you saying Shopify will make the business easier for Connor to make it happen? As easy as it can be. From the moment, the first slugs ready to pay. Shopify also powers millions of businesses worldwide. I do know that because the first couple businesses I started, I actually used Shopify. and it made it actually manageable to do.

We actually all use Shopify with Bunker and everything we do. All our businesses actually do operate under Shopify. When Snail Trail jeans finally takes off, I will be using Shopify. With Shopify, nothing stands between your idea and making it a real business. Except Slug's ability to use the internet. But go make one. Start your free trial at Shopify.com slash unsubbod.

gosh, unsub pod. Unsub pod, UNSUB-P-O-D. Have you seen some of the guys that are doing stuff with Scott, Kentucky Ballistics? Oh, dude. Yeah, Brian Shaw out. Yeah, he had Brian Shaw out recently and everything like that. Like, he's, some of those guys, because Scott's already, like, he's a big boy, right? Like, my boy eats his fucking Wheaties.

But then you've got somebody like a pro bodybuilder, like one of those strongman types next to Scott. You're like, oh, Jesus, that man's a giant. Yeah, he's one of the best. strong man of all time. He's 400 plus pounds. Yeah, he's been, he was top three for like over a decade. Yeah. He's one of the strongest humans to ever live, period. One thing that I think really surprised me about looking into the athleticism of some Formula One drivers is how they look relatively normal everywhere, except the neck. Neck. Yeah. It's it's a nerveing. What neck?

The toe. The amount of neck. training that they do and like all the different have you seen those i'm sure you have all the different videos where they just like try to like push on their neck or whatever from those angles and they're just solid like cannot be moved there's some pretty impressive videos of just normal people going through like a f1 training program and some of the cardio stuff like you some humans can do that that's that's fine it takes a little bit of training but the strength stuff for the neck is insane like they'll there's a band you put um on your head and you in essence just do reps of of these Because you need to do that because when you're in the car, you're pulling 5G.

Your head weighs 10 pounds. It weighs 50 now for two hours. Once your neck goes, it goes. And you won't be able to drive like this. So normal people can take 20 and maybe hold it, whereas these drivers load up to about 45 kilos and just do it for reps. Fuck is a kilo. Insane. My bad.

90, 100 pounds? Nice. We were talking about Czechie cheese really quick before. I was like, I got to get back on track. This is why we started, but we like rushed to the podcast. Because it's like pause. There's a Chuckie Cheese thing. Sir Charles.

Charles Entertainment. Yeah. Go on the background of how this got started with parents fighting because I didn't even know that. We were talking about parents fighting at Chuckie Cheese, which led me to go into all the stuff I know about Chuckie Cheese from doing my video. Eli doesn't watch my videos, so he's astonished by all of this. So it's going to be like a live reaction. Guess who founded Chuckie Cheese? So Charles's cheese.

No, no, the guy that, like, started the company. I can't remember his name, but I know what he did. The guy that founded Atari. Wait, same dude? Yeah. Basically, Atari was making arcade games at that point in time, and he was getting pissed off that arcades were making a shit ton of money because he was, I make an arcade machine,

and I sell it to an arcade, and they make 10 times as much money. is me and I'm the one that made the machine. So he's like, oh, shit, I need to get into the arcade game. And then he has the idea to combine it with food. Well, what kind of food is going to be the easiest for kids and people to go eat pizza? Eat it with your hands. It's not a sit-down thing.

Nobody's in a hurry. Whatever, go grab a slice of pizza. So he decides he's going to make this pizza arcade place and he's going to make it for kids. And originally it was going to be, I believe it was going to be called coyote's pizza. And the mascot was supposed to be a coyote. Well, then they get the animatronics ordered and made up. up and there was apparently a disconnect with whatever factory made the animatronics in the suits, and they made a giant rat instead.

So he's like, oh, fuck it, it'll be fine. We'll call it Chuckie Cheese, Charles Entertainment Cheese. And then like, I can only imagine he got some pushback in the boardroom of like, are you sure you want a rat as the mascot for your restaurant? It's like, it'll be fine. So Charles Entertainment Cheese is actually, that is the legal name. I thought you guys were fucking making. No, no.

It's like, no. Is it better or worse? No, no, no. For the fighting, I thought it was great. No, there's like company lore. You can get on like Wikipedia and shit and find out the lore. Like Charles Entertainment Cheese grew up in an orphanage and like he's got a whole backstory. So he was Stuart Little?

Basically. Oh. Yeah. But then the original Chuckie Cheese when it first opened is just like a fever dream. Like you can't fathom how insane it was at the time because the original Chuckie, like we're all thinking of the Chuck E. Cheese we knew growing up. When Chuck E. Cheese first came out, Chuck E. Cheese, the rat, like the animatronics,

had a New Jersey accent and a fucking cigar. And he would talk shit to all the other animatronics. Like, like bad jokes, like a New York comedian. And one of the other animatronics was, I think her name's Dorothy. Oh, no. The hippo that plays the keyboard. And she had gigantic kits that would move up and down while she played the keyboard. And it's just like,

You built this place for kids? That is truly lawless times. They had to make that animatronic. Yes. Somebody got paid lots of money to, wow. Yeah. So that goes on. What are the other interesting things?

Was there only one location at the time? So there's a bunch of, somebody else tried to like rip off the design and then they opened up a competitor for a while. And then they ended up reconverging and it was like a whole company thing. But the other. parts are. There was a speech I found. It was kind of like a TED talk, but it wasn't an actual TED talk where the Atari guy was talking about how you wouldn't believe all the things, the mascots, like the people we paid to dress up in the mascot outfits, would do in the

locker rooms behind closed doors. So I think Chuck E. Cheese might start furries, is my theory. There was that. And then during COVID, they went fucking wild. So during, During COVID, the Italian pizza chef animatronics guy is, I believe his name's Pascuali, something like that, like some very overtly Italian name. That sounds like it fits. And so it was like Pascuali's pizza or whatever the fuck it was. And during COVID, obviously nobody's going to Chucky Cheese. Dolly Dimples. Dolly.

That's what it was. Dorothy Dolly. I had that messed up my hand. She actually had tits too. Yeah, huge ones. And they bounce up and down. Holy shit, yeah, that's that low-cut top. Because now she wears a hot-cut top.

So the Italian pizza chef during COVID, they weren't getting people to go to Chucky Cheese, right? So they were going to go to business. So a lot of the Chucky Cheese is what they started doing was they started selling on DoorDash. But they didn't want to sell as Chucky Cheese. So they labeled it as like Pascuali's pizza. So people were ordering, thinking

it was like a locally owned Italian restaurant. from them. Then they were getting Chucky cheese pizza to learn their fucking house. Honestly, genius. I would never have ordered DoorDash from Chucky cheese. Nobody would.

Never a million years. No. So you had this and then what is the average of fights now? I have all the stats in the video, but it was like if you get on YouTube, there's an entire playlist of like, it's like 90 or 100 something videos of just shaky cell phone footage of

Chucky Cheese fights. It's all Chuckie Cheese fights. Um, when you put it like, well, because he, because it was that one. No, go on like, because it is for me, I'm like, oh yeah, when you have kids fighting being shitheads and then you introduce alcohol to this mixture. Did they sell booze at Chucky Cheese? Yes. Well, that explains it. Yes.

That was the biggest selling point. Like, dad gets home from work. Mom needs a break. I'll take the kids to dinner. I'm going to go get f***ed up with this giant rat while the kids fuck off. To be fair, I haven't been to a chunky cheese in 20 years. so I don't know. Do they still sell those there?

No, they saw that. Now they have a strictly enforced two drink maximum. So she, two drink maximum. Um, there goes their income. Some busy urban locations accumulating between 40 and 60 police responses in a single year. Tampa 61.

Uh, Oakland, Illinois, 46. Uh, Brookfield, Wisconsin. 15. It's like,

but what was your one? The one that was like the highest. It was in like, uh, uh, number. or something. God, I think it was like Omaha or some shit, but it was like an outrageous basic. I'm not positive it was Omaha, but it was a bigger city. And it was so bad and the

cops were having to go there so often for fights that I think the local municipality refused to renew their liquor license. It was such an issue. Holy shit. Well, that's what brought me to like, what is the average, God help me, fights per year average of a Chucky Cheese establishment across the I don't know. It's got to be a lot or it was back before they tried to rebrand and get rid of booze. And how many does corporate say is okay until they need to intervene or do something about it? Are they still making money? That's probably the answer.

I guess. Oh, they are 100% having that conversation. Is it costing us more yet? I guess the math in my head makes sense now. How much is this insurance costing us? How many or how much liquor sales do we get? If one outweighs the other, we're still going. Well, it's like Fight Club with the ratio of,

like insurance yeah insurance yeah for a simple math a company to do a recall parents beating the shit that's how they got to the two drink right here we're yeah three drinks start it's costing way too much like it's premiums it's called compromise okay yeah also what happened to chucky cheese they add an extra chromosome dude they made it look so nerdy and horrible now it looks like clip art their new logo i was going to say what was wrong with this the old one, but it still looked bad when I was a kid. Yeah, but it was iconic bad.

Yes, correct. Yeah. Now it's just like, you know what we need? New bad. Oh, we got Brandon, you have now with, well, we can talk about it. The suppressor, SBR, everything going on right now, which is the same for today. We'll see if that age is very poorly. But yeah, that's what I'm doing tonight.

So there's a decent chance. Tonight I will be one of the first people to ever. lawfully get a suppressor transferred to me without an NFA tax stamp in like 93 years. So yeah. It's just a stamp now. There's no tax applied anymore. It's just a stamp. That's true.

That's actually unironically. That's one of the reasons why federal judges and hopefully it goes to the Supreme Court, they're saying that the NFA tax stamp is no longer constitutional. Because originally when the NFA, so it's the $200 tax and all the tax stamp bullshit that goes along with registering a suppressor, short-barreled rifle, short-barreled shotgun, or a machine gun. The reason it was, so that was put in the NFA of 1934. The reason why it was declared constitutional by the Supreme Court shortly thereafter, and not a violation of the Second Amendment, is because they're saying, well, you're not registering the firearm.

You're registering the tax. And Congress has the constitutional authority to levy taxes. Okay. Fair enough. but now that the big beautiful bill reverted that tax down to zero. So it's now a $0 instead of a $200 tax stamp. People are saying, well, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. The whole reason you decided, I think, five to four, that this was constitutional in the first place was because you were registering the tax, not the gun.

Now there's no tax. What's the deal? Well, Texas federal judge agreed. And so just last week, it was put out where he put out an injunction saying that, well, that we, yeah, now that there's no registration of tax, Yeah, this shouldn't apply to SBRs, SPSs, and suppressors. And the DOJ had seven days. Sorry, we're getting into the legal weeds on this.

No, it's fine. The DOJ... Kind of the content I do. Just keep going. Okay. Keep going. I'm almost there. Everyone's optimistic. The DOJ had seven days.

They technically have like 60 or 90 total. But on the original federal judge's ruling, they had seven days to file a stay or something like that, basically to counter that ruling. from the federal judge. We are currently six days and 14 hours in to a seven-day time window. And so GA calls me last night. And they're like, hey, would you and Westfordell like to come up to silencer shop headquarters

just north of Austin? And right as the clock strikes midnight, be the first two people to officially apply legally in the jurisdiction of that federal judge in Texas, file to do a transfer of a suppressor without an NFA tax stamp. And so that's what we're going to try to do. And if they try to give us legal shit for it, then we get to go right back to that judge, like, hey, they're not following your ruling. And then we can then use that to escalate to the Supreme Court.

Can we do a gang does the same thing? So hold on. theoretically speaking. I'm just saying. Theoretically speaking, there could be a Supreme Court case. Herrera v. ATF. Yes. Theoretically speaking, I haven't run.

that by the GOA lawyers, but that's theoretically possible, yes. On eliminating the N of A. Which is wild. Again, if you don't, so this is probably a different world for you. If you needed a suppressor SBR, which those rules are trying to break down like a pistol AR versus an SBR AR is the dumbest thing you can ever do. Editor, show a pistol. Now show a rifle. those two things now this sounds funny but I'll send you the things later what is an SBR felony

and what is a pistol perfectly legal in all all states the difference of those two things being 10 years in federal prison is absurd 10 years like and it is for putting on a front foregrip a vertical foregrip it is one of the biggest things or putting a hole through the back so this is considered a pistol. I've seen some of these. This isn't a world I'm familiar with, but on occasion, I've come across a couple posts of like, oh, yeah, this is totally fine. You get these parts here, you put this with this, and then what do you mean?

That's a pistol. So that's a rifle. Yeah. And that's a pistol. Ah. Yeah, no, that doesn't make sense. No, no. It never fucking does.

It's a Glock with a stock and a fucking rifle, pistol. AR with a pistol brazen rifle pistol Yeah yeah um And they did a really good job I mean if you look at how the individuals did fully autos Or forced reset triggers or bump fire they also did the exact same thing For uh skirting the rule book Brandon do you need not a good one more time you got this buddy

Brandon can you brandon do you like this there bud brandon where do you store your firearms all over my house in every fucking crevice well do I have the product for you nixone here hand it to me Brandon so I can show you Brandon this is stopbox stop box we love box you're selling me what's in the box you have to open it and find out all right well let's see if I can do this oh wow look at that oh it didn't stop you can I hide my goop in that you can hide your goop in that Cody do you know I love this thing why why why why

God, why? Because you don't have to use keys. Gun, not included. Cody, you've got multiple cats in your house, including Squirt, who's quite the scrapper. Would you want Squirt to have access to your firearms? No, he's violent. Well, then Stop Box is the perfect product for you.

No cats getting inside that. Or people without thumbs. Mmm, hmm. The nice part is it is actually TSA compliant. I didn't actually know that part until a couple months ago. That is actually really cool. Just put a little lock through there. through there. Exactly. When you check in a pistol or any gun, if there's a hole that a lock can go through on whatever you're checking your gun in, you have to put a lock through that. This has one hole, so you just need one lock easily accessible once you land on the ground. I know you're not normally a one hole kind of guy, but this is definitely an exception to the rule.

Never worry about tariffs because everything is sourced right here in the USA. Wait, what are tariffs? I'm pretty sure I shot a few of them.

No. Which is, I understand that because this is my realm, you know, the firearms case. Like, I understand this world better than any other world, which terrifies me because I can only assume it's true for every other industry. The people writing the laws have no idea what the fuck they're doing.

So it usually, yes, because I bring this up too, and the part that drives me nuts is you want to know who decides what the national electrical code is. So, like, the rules for safety for how electricians have to install things and make the world around you safe so you don't get electrocuted in your house. Well, of course it would be electricians. Yep. Oh, oh, really? Unironically, yes. I did not expect that. That is, that is actually, that is actually, that it's actually, that it's a little committee that get together.

Every, I think it's every four years a new code book, every three or four years a new code book comes out. But there's national committees and you get appointed to this committee and you represent this region of the country. And you guys get together and be like, okay, what do we have on our docket of things that we need to look at? And all the committees get together and come to a consensus on we have this new thing got developed or somebody, got electrocuted in their pool. Here's what happened. How do we make sure this never happens again for installing electrical stuff safely and still making it like cost effective and efficient? And master electricians get together, come up with the solution and they say this is the new policy on how things have to be installed and the quality of which things have to be manufactured.

See, that makes perfect fucking sense. I thought you were going to rug pull us. I'm like, no, it's just some dumb bitch that basically runs this like an HOA that's never installed any sort of electrical thing in a room. But like that's what I'm saying. Like that's how everything should be like that's how doctors should be setting up like what the qualities of care are for the medical field. Electricians should be doing electrical shit. Plumbers should be doing plumbing. Leading gun mass production people should be doing all the gun shit.

Like why don't you have the experts make the fucking rules? Or at least give us a seat at the table. Yeah. Right. That's why I don't give us. Why did that happen with like electricians? That board formed obviously with thought process. It's like, hey, we'll be in charge.

And then how does it go off the rails into? I actually do have the answer on that. Thank you. Because it's not, that is like a board. It's like an actual board of industry experts. The firearm industry tends to get regulated by legislation that's drafted by people that are out to make people feel good. They have no idea what the fuck they're doing.

It's not a board. It's just some congresswoman, congressman from some blue state that comes in there and basically just decides, oh yeah, no, we're going to legislate this now. And then you get these weird, fucking artifacts in the firearm law. And it's like, oh, wow, that was written by somebody that had no clue what they were talking about. And the reason why is because

it was. That makes way. Yeah, nobody's really jumping over their jumping over themselves to regulate the electrician business. Which doesn't make sense. You just figure it'd be like, hey, you're in charge of this. It's with a NASA director. Isaacman. Isaacman's. It's great. The exact individual

you would need in charge and direct. NASA because why? Because he is a self-made man and then he also did spacewalks before even going into this on private sector. He did spacewalks in the private sector too, right? Yeah, he did. So he was a self-made billionaire starting at the age of 16, founded shift for pay, succeeded. 16. Incredibly. Like just very, very like just American success story. He was a fighter pilot, did all sorts. Owned like one of the biggest fleet. of fighter jets in like privately owned fighter jets in the world and then was you know obsessed with space loved everything about you know aerospace and everything like that did multiple

trips to space did the what was that project called um blue the four no not blue origin it was um inspire or inspiration for that's what it was inspiration for and uh like all this stuff before he even and no now and he's the director of NASA and he's now the only director of NASA and he's now the only of NASA who has ever even been to space. It's like, this is probably the most qualified guy you could have ever picked. Hibur intelligent, too. Like, only hired his dad at 16. He is one of the most intelligent dudes we've ever talked to on the podcast.

It was tell the story why, because that's the cool part. Which part were there flying jets? No, he had to hire his dad at 16 to drive him around because he wasn't like, go ahead. He could not drive. And then because of the individuals and how big these deals were, they weren't looking at a 16-year-old kid as the dude. In charge. Yeah. So the dad would do the pitch.

Yeah, he had to teach his dad how to give his sales pitch. Oh, my gosh. The whole story reminds me of the Albert Einstein anecdote. Yeah. It's hilarious. Like, it's the same thing. We joke about that. Me and Aubrey.

So Aubrey helps me drive through, you know, West Texas, things like that. A lot of times we got the longer leg. so I can, you know, work and stuff like that. And we joke as he's heard my, you know, Q&As and town halls and stuff like that so much that we think he could actually, he could probably answer a lot of these questions for me. That's funny.

But do you want to tell that anecdote so the AI bots can clip it? Again, I don't know. Again, I don't know if this is a real story, but the anecdote goes, Albert Einstein was touring the country, given speeches at all these colleges on physics to like all these highly intelligent, you know, college professors,

graduate students, yada, yada, yada. and he just gets dog-ass sick one time and he can't do it. Well, his driver, he's had the same driver the entire time. He's heard him give the lecture a hundred times. He's heard him answer all the questions a hundred times. And he's like, I can't do it. And the driver's like, I can do it. He's like, I've heard you.

He's like, all I got to do is go up there, rinse and repeat. Same shit. And so he goes up and he does it. He gives the lecture flawlessly and then he's answering questions. And Albert Einstein is sitting in the crowd watching. And Albert Einstein is like, holy shit, this guy actually. like he's pulling this off right now. This is awesome.

And finally, like one of the top professors stands up and asks the question that the driver wasn't capable of answering. And the driver goes, sir, that question is so obvious my driver could answer it. And then points to Albert Einstein in the crowd. And then Albert Einstein stands up and answers the question, which. That's brilliant. Which this is obviously before the age of, you know, anybody knowing what Albert Einstein looked like. He wasn't a meme yet. There was it, well, they're not even that.

Like, think you'd have to have a book or a newspaper of that exact human to know what they look like. Yeah, and it's not like, uh, you know. News, there was a TV fucking blasting everything. It's not like research papers have a picture of the author on the back like a book. You know what I mean? It's just a name on a page. Oh, this is by Albert Einstein, leading expert and whatever the f***. So nobody knew what he looked like.

So maybe it happened. Maybe it didn't. I don't know. Humbies up there talking like that. I'm not going to die. I guess. Either way, it's a great story. Yeah.

He talks the talk. That must be him. So with, what's one of your favorite stories with Formula One where you've covered three pedal? Every time you say three pedal, I immediately think demolition man. I don't. But I think Demolition Man with the three seashells.

Yeah, I forgot about that one. Can't cuss. They find you in. Oh, yeah. He doesn't know how to use the three pedals. All restaurants are Taco Bells. Man, I forgot a lot about this man. But no, what's the three pedal thing?

So Formula One team is playing around with trying to make the car faster. They all do that. One of them goes, hey, what if we use the brakes while we're accelerating to help stabilize the car? Like help turn it. If we only break one wheel, it'll help turn the car. Like, okay. So for like 50 bucks worth of materials later, they just get another brake pedal, hook up another brake line, and hook it up to just one wheel. Like, hey, this track mostly has right turns.

So let's hook it up to the rear right wheel. Just driver, when you're accelerating, just press that right brake pedal and it'll help turn the car and see if it works. They try it. Hold on a second. We're like half a second a lot faster. That's pretty great. For 50 bucks, oh my gosh, you got to spend millions in F1 to find half a second.

Heck yeah. And so in essence, they were getting away with this until someone started taking photos of their car, leaving corners with the brake glowing like lava hot red. It's like what the heck is going on? That happens before the corner not after. So there was a race, a few races later, the car breaks down. A photographer is next to it. Sticks his camera down. It takes a photo, three pedals. This is when all the cars are automatic already. Is that not allowed? It wasn't not allowed. That's the thing with F1. It's just like, oh, shoot, we never thought about banning that because no one ever thought about doing that. But the funny thing is, one of the cars had three pedals, and the other car had four. They

didn't get a camera in that car. One of the drivers had their clutch. One of the cars. The cars are automatic. They've got paddles. You change the gears as a driver, but they still have a clutch pedal. You still need to launch the car. To first gear. Most have it on steering wheel. One of the drivers couldn't get used to it. He said, no, give me, give me a clutch pedal. I need to do it with my that's how I train. That's how I know it. They're like, okay, so you're You're going to have a gas pedal, a brake pedal, a clutch pedal. And now we have to fit in that other pedal too. His car had four, but the photographer didn't get the camera in his.

So three pedal and four pedal car when everyone else had two. I think my favorite story you've covered was the, I think it was McLaren. I'm probably wrong, but it was McLaren that figured out how to weave carbon fiber a particular way. Yep. That was incredible. Just like. That was last year or two years ago? That was just a couple years ago.

That was just a couple years ago. That was recent. Yeah. If you want to tell that story. I don't know. I don't know either. Sure. Absolutely.

All these little things, just going back to, you remember how we were talking about the two layers of arrow underneath with at the beginning, Braun. That was a team bought for one dollar. They bought Honda for one dollar. Brand new F1 team, Braun. They were the only ones that came up with this. They fucking won damn near every race that season as a brand new F1 team, which does not happen. Never happened. They won so good, Mercedes bought them.

No shit. Yep, they are a Mercedes now. Yeah. Probably a good payday. Not bad. For a dollar. Yeah. I mean, the like...

Actually, that might have been like in corporate history, possibly the best. A dollar. Dollar to... Nuts. So I can explain that carbon fiber weave thing if you want really quick. Okay. Go slow. We don't care.

Cool. All right. Look him in the eyes what you do. In essence, do you ever stick your head? hand out of a car window when you're driving and do that thing where you like you just change the angle and the air pushes it up or down. Might not do it recently, but you know how that works. Yeah.

Yeah. In essence, that's what F1 cars do. As you're moving through the air, the wings are designed to suck the car to the ground, opposite of an airplane. If you get pushed into the ground, you get a lot more grip. That's how they go so fast through these corners. Problem. When you do that, you're messing with clean air.

And now it's dirty, meaning you're generating drag. So the more downforce you make, generally, the more it slows you down. So you have to find a balance. Now with F1 cars, where it gets annoying, is they go through corners, but they also go through really long straights. They want to go as fast as possible everywhere. So ideally, you want as much grip for the corners, you want as little as possible when you're going straight. Well, there's a lot of rules about, hey, your wings can't this, they can't bend, they can't flex, they can't whatever. well if you're smart enough you can find a way around it sorry just like for

clarifying when you say your wings can't do this you can't do that you can't like have a motor electric motor mechanism that makes the wings go up when you're hitting a corner and then back down on the straightway something like that at that time depends on the rules depends on the year the current ones every car does that they've put that in in the rules but back just one generation so 2022 to 2025 those cars they were only allowed to flip open a small part of the rear wing in certain sections. That's it. Everywhere else, you're stuck with all this drag.

Get over it. Now, the way they would check to make sure everyone was actually following these rules is they would devise tests. The FIA got smart enough of like, hey, we told you you can't bend these wings, but when we look at these replays, your cars are driving and the wing just goes as you speed up. They shouldn't be doing that. So they made tests. We're just going to grab a huge weight, like 190 kilos.

a lot of weight and attach it to a part of the wing. And if it flexes more than this much, that designs banned. Like, you're disqualified. You got to fix that. So McLaren figured out, hold on a second. Carbon fiber is a strange material because it's not like metal. It's not like anything else really. If you change the direction of the weave of the carbon in it,

you can make it strong in certain directions. And so when they measure that, they're just going down. that's it when they put the weight on it that's the only direction they're checking okay well what if we weave it in a way where it twists when the drag or when the down force is pushing it down but the air is pushing it back too and it does that so they in essence devised a way mechanically to make something twist when downforce and drag was applied in a particular way and it only moved the wing a couple millimeters. It took teams a while to notice,

but in essence, every car is driving down the straight. You look at the rear camera footage of this car, and the wing just goes just a little bit on each corner. And it was enough for about two miles an hour. Which isn't huge. But on some tracks, that's enough to and now that's enough

for an overtake. Every little bit counts. Just insane the level that they go to to find something. It's point two. I mean, you're looking at point two to point four seconds on a big, big straight. that is cooking, two miles per hour. Yeah. Like, they got to drive the Formula 4s.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, they got to rip around and those things. It was great. It's kind of funny because, like, initially, you're always worried about, like, oh, what happens if you crash? What happens if this? It's the opposite problem because, you know, we've been driving our entire f***ing lives. Yeah. And so your initial reflex is, don't die, don't crash.

Yeah. Take this corner a little slow because you're not, you have no idea what the machine is capable of. Mm-hmm. And so it's funny to see, like, as we, as the three-day course progressed, like, how we got faster and faster just because we were just, like, sending it. Like, my best laps, I told Eli about this after. Because Eli's got way more race experience than any of us. I'm just like, okay, I was just sending it. And I'm like, fuck it.

My lap, my fastest lap, I was telling myself in my mind, what would Eli do? How would Eli take this? And it was a couple times I came very close to the grass. I'm like, oh, Eli probably would have done a little better than that. but on the back straight Connor just looked in his review because I was following him and he was like

Connor was usually breaking or lifting at that point in the back straight and he looks up and he's like right there he's not breaking well just keep going as fast as possible just hammered to the floor that's amazing it's an interesting strategy to be

judging your breaking based on the guy behind you he looks up I'm gone oh oh yeah Connor just listens I know it This time of year always has me reaching for layers down here in South Central Texas. Why is that? Because it's September and the temperature is constantly fluctuating between 100 degrees and 80 degrees.

The VIR hill in the back straight, you're going like a buck 30 and you press the hill and you don't know if, especially buck 30, we'll rewind. When I was talking to the Skip Barber team, they did an amazing. amazing job, but they said, well, you're with a whole bunch of dudes. They shoot guns, military. Aren't they going to push it? Like really hard. I was like, anytime I took guys racing,

they hold back pretty good the second they're in those fast fucking cars. It's also fun to be able to develop that confidence because like we, we had practiced, like, I got to practice for like an hour on a racing sim on that thing. Like, I really didn't get much time, but be able to tell the difference between like on that snake stretch, right? And on VIR, you could just sail through it in the racing sim, but in real life, it's like, those rumble strips. It's like, oh, that's actually shifting.

Like, that's pulling my car a different direction. And really quick, the back, the snake part is full throttle. But when you first start doing that, guess what does not feel like you should do that full throttle? You don't feel like a fucking video game. I would say in the video game, it's everything's smooth and you're like,

and then in real life, you're like, oh, shit. It's like fighting the steering on swipes dripping in your eyes slam it into the side of the car. Well also, like the one time... This is nothing like the simulation. The one time I forgot my padding, like the padding that

you put in to like adjust to the chair or to the car. And I'm just like so every like... Like all those, any imperfection in the road I just felt it through your bones. Through my taint. It was so bad. Oh, there is no.

So when they don't have cushion, you're on carbon fiber. You're on exposed carbon fiber. Oh, perfect. And like, Connor had been that, it was the last day. They give you a new car. Yeah, they finally, well, so I'm tall. But they, so they put me in like, they had basically, they had three sizes of cars. They had small, medium, and large.

Okay. And the, quote, unquote, large car was long enough for me, but it was clearly made for a guy who weighs 80 pounds more than me. Understood. So when I was getting put in it, everybody else had, like, the foam pads to space them out. I didn't need that because my feet were touching the pedals. Yeah, but it was a hard, yeah, hard plastic, just like bucket seat. And then there was a ridge in the middle of the seat, which would go between the ass cheeks of someone who has an ass,

something I'm not in possession of. So when they strap you down, like, point out here. Two, two by fours. They strap me down and physically, like physically I was down. Like, I'm stitched down. Yeah, left, right. There's a whole lot of movement. And then that ridge was right on my coxsw.

And so every bump in the road was just vibrating through my spinal cord. And so when I got out of the car every time I was like walking like I got f in the ass. But then taking the turns to the even tiny G forces in those little F1 or F4 cars. It's like two to three Gs in an F4 cart. Probably. Yeah. Being cinched down but not left to right. Every time I would take a turn, it would slam to the opposite side of the car.

You got no room, like, where your legs are. So, like, we looked at it the next, like, after, like, day two or day three. Like, dude, we all have, like, hot girl bruises on our knees. Like, just were like, how the fuck did those? Oh, yeah, right, slanting. Elbows and shoulders. 2 G's, 2.5, 2 to 2.5 G's under acceleration breaking and cornering. And, like, because VR, have you done VIR?

Virginia, there is. I've not done that much racing. I was, I was like, hey, it's going to be South Course OBS. smaller course because I didn't go oh they're gonna put us on the three main straights where you go like a buck 40 a buck 50 they're brand new to this full course I was like Jesus Christ okay here we go we did sit in a classroom for nearly 45 minutes yeah and it's strapped in and the the one corner of the kink so you're going through the S curves which again you want

to lift if you're not used to it like the first time you're like oh you're not you're not supposed to go through these flat they're binding and then there's giant curves that also just rumble you and then you go to a corner that you go like a buck 10 yeah well which one the fast was it turned 12 the fast 12 the one right before oh right before the yes yeah yeah it's like a buck 10 can yeah that was the one i sailed it that was the one where i'm like race like he like because like really like on the on the ass you're just like minor adjustment you're just sailing up you're

just like all right keep it to where I'm not totally on the rumble strip and then that one I sailed it a little too hard on my fast lap and I'm like cool was like kissing the grass a little bit like alright won't do that one that past again because I just because I did what you you said

and just not hit it with with any break at all yeah I was like oh yeah you can just full throttle that and then Ethan's was in denial simple Simple. Ethan responded in the text index. He's like, there's no way you can take that at full. Well, to be fair, Ethan's dealing with a little more inertia.

He was the only one that got into the vehicle without any pads. I'm like, it's good. And his body didn't move. He's like a blob that just sat in and it's strapped in. It's like Nick didn't go, but I don't think he could physically fit in one of those cars. I think Ethan's quite a bit bigger than me. If Ethan fit, I could fit. Well, lengthwise, but I think you're wider than he is.

I don't think so. I don't think so. My shoulders might be as wide as his shoulders, but he's a big boy. Ethan's a big dude. Dude, we had so much fun. Where were we? I think me and him went and did habitually fat, and the people were like, I thought you were way bigger than Ethan. I was like, why?

He's like, fucking six three or some shit. And like, he's significantly bigger than me. Ethan's a tall boy. Ethan's big dad. He, everyone just had a good ass time. It was, uh, I wish you guys were there. That was like, no. 10 of 10, we'll go back.

Literally, everyone, text, respond. It was one of the greatest times. And now I have the Skip Barber and the rush team. They're like, hey, we'll do it again. Then we can actually go race. And everyone, it was day one. I think Brandon says, he's like, day one. Brandon's like, oh, okay, I think that's good enough.

And then day two, you go back and you're like, I fucking get it. Yeah. Aside from how, like, temperature, weather-wise, how miserable it was, it was still so much fucking fun. But day one, sitting in the car, the little instructor, the little Mexican dude,

he came over and was talking to me. And I was like, I was fucking shaking. I was like, never been in a race car before. Like, I've driven fast. I'm an American.

But I was just like, and I'm like trying to calm myself down. And then I'm getting over the, what do you call it? Small spaces fear. Clostrophobia. Yeah, because it's bacon in the sun

and I cannot move. Five. This is a five point and our boy, um, bar none. Yeah, bar none, yeah. He did not like, he couldn't do it. Five, yeah. Instantly, he was like, nope, go to the fuck out of here. I'll take a must take.

Give me the, dude, bar none the second they strapped him in and five point, he was like, I'm fuck, no, give me the fuck out now. Flostrophobia hit hard. The same thing happened to Brandon. He probably won't admit it on camera, but that shit, as soon as I was cinched in, like baking in the sun, I'm like, well, I can't. You can't be like pull a lever and walk away. It's like, fuck, we're here.

And then, yeah, he saw that. And he's like straddling the front of the car sitting down. He's like, just breathe. You need to relax. And I was like, I know, man, I'm trying. And he's like, he's okay. And then, yeah, like, first like two times around. Just listen to my accent.

Finally everything came out. And then morning too, we're all walking in like, let's get in the cars. It's incredible to me. How many things race cars do that are. are genuinely unpleasant to us as humans, and we still just adore them to pieces. I mean, you can sit there sweating, uncomfortable, claustrophobic, your head hurts a little bit, you're aching here, you're sore here. There's so many things.

Well, that's the marriage is great. I was going to bring up the Jeremy Clarkson thing. Once you are one with the car, oh my gosh. It's amazing how unpleasant they are, but once you get inside of it, nice and warm and fun the car six well the one tried

told her I wasn't into it you're like babe they didn't air that episode crazy they deleted it out of oh no what happened the Jeremy Clarkson bit about when he's talking about developing a relationship with a car

he's like something that non-car people don't get is like all the little imperfections of a car like I name all of my cars I develop a relationship with him. I've driven shitty fucking cars my entire life, but I love them in their own unique ways. Your Jeddah. I know your cars.

Joan Jeddah. Yeah, I know your cars because you've talked about it. Dude, my VR6, Jedda. Oh, I talk about that car so romantically that my ex-girlfriend got jealous of a car I used to own. She was like, I hate when you talk about that car. I was like, I loved her more than you. We aren't together.

If Joan hadn't have exploded, we'd rest and piece her head gasket. I'd still be with her. Car's jiggled a little more. Maybe I'd be more of a car guy. You would make a soft car? I had no idea how to respond to that. I'm like, I didn't want to f*** them. We will, oh, we'll go back to this one thing because Nick, do you know the vehicle of

when it was all the females built it? Yes, Volvo. Volvo had a car that, yeah. Have you heard Nick tell the story? No. is a fantastic story. I don't even remember off the top of my head. We could just go over some of the features. You asked me some like F1 stuff that I made recently and I'm like,

I completely blank. I know. Do you know the features? Some of them, like the headrest had a hole so that your ponytail would. Yeah, that was genuinely a good idea. The center console was like more open so you can set your purse there.

Also a good idea. Then we get into like how actual fucking cars work. It goes a little bit off the wings. Oh, I remember one. Yeah. The hood. It doesn't have one. You can't open the fucking hood.

It's closed. It's got... It's what your husband's for. I read the shit that these female engineers were saying for their reasoning behind stuff. And the female engineers were, I never have to open my hood. The only thing I do is, if I ever do, it's to fill the windshield wiper fluid. So there's two, there's the hole where you put gas in, and then there's another hole next to it for putting windshield wiper fluid in. and there's no fucking hood.

You got to take the whole front end off. I've never met a woman who put windshield washer fluid in her own car. These are engineers. These are the best of the best. These are the most highly trained. She's aware that at least two fluids go in a car. But then it raises a question, how do you know when the oil's good? How do you do all that shit?

Well, we're just going to install an emergency beacon in it. And the car is going to notify the dealership to call you when it's time to bring. You can say it calls your husband? Might as well. The dealership. What were some of the other features? If you look at the car... It's like disappearing.

It had like 7,000 cup holders or something. It's a real wide. No, no, no. If you look at this car. If you look at the car, it's two-toned. So the upper half is one color. And the lower half all around the fenders and the bases are a second color. That second color isn't just for aesthetic.

That second color is all dent-proof. Ah, it hides the brake dust. And I don't know if it was the dentproof part or the whole car, but they said in the, in the brochure thing, the paint job is designed so like all the dirt and shit runs off of it. It's basically self-cleaning, similar to a no stick frying pan. We're the exact words in the advertisements. Marketing for women. The recessed wills. Oh.

Go ahead. Do you know? I've heard of the allegations. I believe it had recessed wills. And cameras to avoid scratching. It was one of the first cars with self-parking feature ever. This is like 10 years before that was like a standardized thing. This is 2004.

Yeah, this is like very early on. It had a self-parallel parking feature. But the other one that's funny is I don't believe it had a spare tire. And the reason it didn't have a spare tires because they just said, fuck it, but run flats on all of them. Oh, I forgot. How much money was spent on this project that never launched?

I don't know. It just cracked. Like, whoever at Volvo was in charge, this is hilarious. Just like, we can't design this. If we design what they need, we're going to be sexist. We're going to let them do it. They can say the quiet part out loud. Yeah.

That's... I guess they haven't changed too much because very recently. Women? No. Volvo. Volvo. Volvo? Oh, gosh.

I brought my Polestar in. It needed a windshield. I got a loaner. They gave me a Volvo EX30. Tiny little thing. Super small SUV. Thing is very strange. I just made a video about it.

It's very much like a Tesla. Everything's on the screen. The key is not a key. It's a credit card. There's no, there's no battery. it, you can't lock or unlock the car, you walk up to it, you tap it, like all this annoying little things of like, why did we change something that didn't have to be changed? And it's like 45 grand, which is not expensive for a car.

Very cheap for a car. Yeah. So a lot I didn't like about it. However, zero to 60, 3.4 seconds. That's cooking for a fucking... That's the same as a GTR. It's ridiculous. It makes no sense.

This car, the steering feel on the firmest setting, I could drive it with a pinky. Like, no steering feel, no nothing. It just felt like an appliance. But the moment you punch it, all four tires. Amazing. I loved it. It's no longer on sale in the US anymore. I have no idea what Volvo are doing.

I have no idea. Today's video is partnership with Manscape. Manscaped. Mamscaped. Don't do that again. The men's grooming brand that is trusted by over 14. million men worldwide. Let's be honest. A lot of grooming tools either overcomplicate things. It's so so confusing to me. Oh, what I'm in there trying to shave my pubes and I don't know what's going on.

I don't know left from right. But Manscape isn't overcomplicated. I figured it out on my first try. And it's not just pubs. They actually have the beard trimmer. That's the beard on your face. That's the pubs on your face. So funny enough, I bought like the deluxe version of the beard trimmer from Manscape because I actually do like trust the brand. I legitimately, we use this stuff. And I, for whatever reason, forgot we were sponsored by Manscaped, and I bought one on Amazon. Instead of going to Manscape.com and using code Unsub to get 15% off his entire order. Right.

I know we've got a stack of this stuff over there, but I also didn't even take advantage of the discount that we promote. You get 14 different link settings with that. From one millimeter stubble all the way up to 20. It comes with two combs. It's just trimming on Cody's mic. head to manscape.com and use code unsub to get 15% off and free shipping. That's 15% off your entire order, plus free shipping at manscape.com when you use the code

unsub. Or if you need it today, you can head to a store and find Manscaped at a lot of stores. But don't do that. Go to manscape.com and use code unsub 15% off. Why wouldn't you do it? Plus then they'll continue to give us money. When they asked how you found out about it, tell them unsub sends their regards. If you ever covered, um, Who makes the golf? Is that BMW? Volkswagen. Have you covered when they, their EPA scandal?

No, I haven't done that one yet. That would be a good one for you to cover it. It's legal when it's measured. Yeah. Yeah, I love that. You know about that? I would love to hear it again. Because again, this is, if he knows it, he could tell it.

Is this something, I haven't researched it recently. I just know some of the points. Like, if you know more about it, go for it. It was basically like EPA, they have emission standards. You know what I mean? And different states have different things. So like at least I haven't lived in California for 15 years. But when I live there, like I remember my dad had like, you know,

Moni Carlo from the 70s. And it was always a big hassle because in California, you have to get your car smog tested to make sure that they're emitting an appropriate amount of pollution or whatever. So very strict regulations on like new cars and everything. And all these new cars go through testing. They basically hook it up to a dino, see how much it's emitting at different speeds. You can cut out the catalytic converter.

It's not legal. but you can do it. It's worth money. No, it fixes the emissions problems. Oh, that too. But,

uh, because it makes out into the end of the air. Yeah. Uh, so basically what, what Volkswagen? Well, Volkswagen did.

They, they, uh, they, with the golfs, they weren't passing emission standards. I think there were diesel ones. Yes. Yeah.

Yeah. This is a massive billion dollar. Diesel is a dirty fuel. Yeah. It's a dirty fuel, but it has more energy in it, which is, It's useful.

They did the same thing in Europe too. So then they basically, well, we can't pass these emission standards. We're not going to fix it. We're just going to make it so the computer knows when it's hooked up to a dino and it's going to run different and emit less pollution. And then the second it's not hooked up, it's going to run like normal. I didn't know that part. Yeah.

I'm pretty sure the EU sued the f*** out of Volkswagen. Well, that's what I thought was like for billions of dollars. I just didn't know they were doing the whole, hey, when it's hooked up to a dino, it's just, whoa, whoa, the whole. Just kidding, we're doing great. Yep. The cats that haven't been on for you. Hurry up, guys.

I'm here. What's the fuck going on? Holy shit. It's insane and hilarious. Yeah. It was like, yeah, as long as the traction control is off and the steering hasn't moved in more than like 20 seconds, that's how they could tell. We're probably on a rolling road or a dino.

So we're probably being measured. So make sure. everything's actually on. Because when it's not, it was magnitude tire. Then you get into like, like I hate CAFE standards. They're the dumbest thing on the planet.

So everybody, again, emissions bullshit, right? So CAFE standards are basically, the government said, we need cars to be more fuel efficient. We need to come up with a way

to penalize car manufacturers that are not making fuel efficient vehicles. And the idea they came up with was CAFE standards. And what they said was, here's the emission standards that you can have and they based it off of how large the vehicle was. So you ever wonder why Chevy 1500 from the early 2000s and 90s is like a mid-sized truck today

and then a Silverado today is a land yacht? It's because all the car manufacturers said, oh, I just have to make the truck physically fucking larger and I don't have to increase like frown with all this emissions bullshit. Cool. I'll just make the trucks physically larger. Looping back around, it's almost like the people that are making these regulations don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

Exactly. But like that's why trucks are so fucking massive now and like the Europeans and everybody makes fun of us like, oh, you guys like driving big trucks because you have tiny dicks, blah, blah, blah. It's like, no, they literally only sell those here because the government told them. Like, hold on a second. They have to be massive. It takes a lot less money to just make the car bigger.

Let's just market this. People will fall in love with it. It's already rolling on its own. Yeah. Like, that's a 90s F50 versus at 2026. The size is absolutely astounding. Yeah, I mean, if you look at a Ford Ranger today, it's like the same size, if not bigger than a 1500 from 2005.

It's crazy. Well, I mean, even you look at a lot of the old cars. That makes way more sense. Even cars just weigh a shit ton more. Like your original Miata weighed 2,100 pounds, 2,000 to 2,100 pounds. And now they're 23,000. Well, some of that, not that in particular, but like everybody was kind of roasting. I think it was last year, a year prior, BMW came out with like some high in sports car that weighed like 7,000 pounds.

I think it was the M5, the current one. And everybody. Hybrid wagon thing. Yeah, everybody was like roasting it. And I was like, they're not doing it because they give a f*** up for it. they made it that heavy so people could use it as a business right off because it has to be six thousand pounds to be a commercial vehicle every g wagon you see in the nicer parts of town every g like that's why the g wagon weighs that much that's why like they will if they're

close they will deliberately go we're going to add weight so this can be a business right off yeah massage seats no that'll help actually original cap 19 plates in the back might as well i like it 1990 originally 3 500 pounds 2026 five thousand two hundred pounds oh that's a lot it's like you're making vehicles less efficient yes radically so yes oh we were but the rules we're fine that kind of reminds me um I was gonna say have you all heard of the Amazon loophole mobile the one no okay great so Amazon delivery vans park kind of anywhere they want to, sometimes not great, particularly in very urban downtown areas. Bad. Traffic, they get in the

way. Some cities have passed laws that, okay, vans, not okay. What is allowed cargo bicycles. So the rules are you have to be able to pedal it and you can't have a steering wheel like a car. It has to be like a bike, right? Oh, no. So Amazon goes, okay, we will develop a cargo bicycle. I'm going to fred Flintstone the fuck out of this. Here, I'll show you one at a time. Here are the cargo bicycles. Yes, they are peddled. This is the Amazon loophole mobile.

That's a cargo bicycle. What the fuck? Jesus. Do that one? Yeah. Yeah, that's like, yeah. Let me see this. Here we go.

Brow. He's pedaling. It's legal. Hold on. What are they circling there? I have no idea. Oh, it's a water bottle. Dude, that's like the, what is it, diogenes?

Like, behold, a man. Bro, you know how much money you could make if you just, like, turn that into six cubicles where drunk people could get a ride home from the bar? Dude, all you're talking about is like a party, party bus. Yeah, the whole thing where like six people bicycle on it. You can park everywhere, though. And DUIs probably don't apply so you can get shit ripped too. Yeah.

I mean, do you see those all the time, like the streets of Nashville and shit like that? Amazon virtual. rat parties. I like Amazon. I'm like, now we got this. Just pause. Those are the rules?

Let's cook. All right. Hold my abused employee. Maybe that's why the water bottle was served. That's something. They need to fix on the next model. Yeah. Why are we wasting weight on a water bottle holder?

These conditions are too livable. What was one of your like? Got to put them in the Dune suit. Oh, gosh. Recycle their water. No. Jeff Bezos, get on that. You said you learned a couple different ones just for this podcast, I know.

And that's where I was like, okay, I got to hear these ones. So if that's one of them. I did have one topic I researched that I haven't made a video about that is incredibly interesting. Connor, could you grab like a piece of paper, like an A4-ish shaped, just anything? The fuck is an A4 piece of paper. Yeah, I guess. It's like a standard. You worked in office job.

Standard paper, no. No, really? No. My wife's a teacher. She just asked me to laminate stuff. Is this too small? No, that'll work.

Yeah, I just need like one page out of it. I was going to say, you have upstairs on the firm? Yeah, that's fine. That should probably work. You need to rip, Joe? Yeah. Sorry.

It doesn't have to be too straight. You're the first person to come on this podcast and ask for paper, by the way. Perfect. I think so. Broke a 275 episode of the record. Yes. No one was asked for paper.

Yeah. It was because F1 is a very technical and nerdy sport, and I will try to do it justice with an example. You're amongst the elite that probably knows how to read. All right. Anyway. No, I'm good. I don't need to write on it.

So, Formula One. What paper for? In a few minutes, you will see. Physics. Here's some, almost everything that we've talked about, guns, Amazon, on F1, whatever. Most of the cheating loophole things happen in this sequence. Rule comes out.

Someone goes, what the heck? Find a way around it. That's usually how it works. Well, this particular example, very different because this team found out how to make their F1 car faster on accident. I absolutely love that about this one. So the time it's late 70s, F1 teams are starting to figure out error is a good thing. of just making the car as bathtub shaped to hit as few, you know, air molecules as possible,

hold on a second. We can actually put wings on top of the cars. That will make them faster? Heck yeah. All these weird new shapes are coming out. They're putting wings on the front of the car, the back of the car. Like the fronts of the car have a spoiler that looks like it goes on the back, just on the front of it. It's incredible.

They're just messing around with stuff. But that creates drag. Teams are trying to figure out how can we make these. cars generate more grip without putting extra stuff on it. Lotus goes, hold on a second. So I was going to say give him daddy issues. Sorry, continue. Oh gosh, Lotus goes, can we use the shape of the car as a wing?

Let's try out some stuff. So they build a model, throw it in a wind tunnel, and they start testing it. In essence, the car is just on a moving platform. They shoot a bunch of air at it, and then they measure how much the car car is pushing out. And they measure it and they're getting really weird results. Every time they measure it, the grip goes up. Guys, what the heck is happening? Oh, I don't know. I'm not right. I'm sorry.

Like that's my PTSD stair where I just blank out. My bad, my bad, yeah. Trust me. I don't, nothing's happening up there. They're in a wind tunnel. They have this model here. They press go, 100 mile an hour wind. Okay, we made this much grip. Do it again. We made more grip. What? Do it. Do it. it again. We made more grip. This doesn't make sense. Let's go look at the model. What's going on? They go in, they look at it. Okay, so some parts of it are made out of cardboard, yes, and some parts of it are drooping, which isn't good. Let's fix that really quick, and then just try it again.

They fix it, run the test, and it sucked. Okay, maybe the droopiness is a good thing. So that's what I tried to do. Never mind. Thank you. So in essence, they take some cardboard and they stick it to the side of the car. Because what they were doing, it's the- friends we made along the way. Here's what they were doing. Clipping this. Oh, gosh. The sides of the car, they, in essence, decided, let's make these shaped like an airplane

wing, but upside down. So, instead of generating lift, it generates down force when we go forward. And because they were drooping, they were getting really close to the ground. They fixed these to stop them from drooping, but they put cardboard. on the side of the car to kind of seal where the air was around it. Ran the test again, insane downforce. Just ridiculous. They're like, what the heck is going on?

We don't understand what we've just discovered, but this is amazing. So what do they do? Well, here's what's happening. Piece of paper time. If I blow above this page, what do you guys think is going to happen? Nothing. Nothing. It's a little hard to see, but it moves up.

Yeah. That's freaking weird. What is going on? Bernoulli's principle says if air is moving faster, it has less pressure. So because air is moving faster above this page, it's lifting it up. They found out how to do this. Oh, like that? Yeah.

There you go. So I was kicking it. Yeah. So it's basically a vacuum created above. Create. Correct. So they just took that, flipped it upside down. They accidentally put two of those on their car.

Anytime they go forward, the car just gets sucked to the ground. Incredible. It's even more effective when you seal it and don't allow air to escape. All of it has to suck the car to the ground. So that's in essence how they did that on accident. Yeah. And this is like mid-70s? Mid-70s.

Yeah. This is before computers and everything. Yeah. This is all just try and see. It's one of my favorite parts of like, for example, Ford v. Ferrari, where they just have like all the tassels on the car because they're just like they're not doing this shit in cad or like doing like all these fancy computer programs they're like it what's the tassel doing tape ball of yarn binoculars look real close where is where is it going up it was um god dang it was Ken miles because the

computer system at that time said no this is what we need Ken's like no it's lifting get that shit out just put the tassels on it and then they list it's cool and then sure shit oh he's right it's lifting. It's actually why they created the single scoop instead of the dual at the first Mark 21's had dual scoops so were very small and then they went to the Mark 2 which were

a giant single scoop that pushed it down plus the canards, canards, however you say that fucking word that gave it that extra GPT is what I got in high school. Hey what's up I'm showing him noble suitcases because I'm intrigued. I bought one before they were

a sponsor and then two weeks later they're like do you want to work together I was like yep so this is one of those were like you used it beforehand yeah so not even joking when we were traveling uh in virginia the other day I was like oh was that like one of the sponsor suitcases and then you showed me all the features I'm like oh actually okay I think I get it oh you can use your this can carry firearms too you can just check it in with it oh is it like TSA approved yeah literally TSA yeah they're all oh no oh so you can just you can just throw a fucking gun in that Hasser! It already has the TSA locks with it, so the TSA can check it really quick with their...

Same key for both locks? Yep. So in that case, it's compliant if you want to bring a surprise mouse kutul that will help you later. Everyone loves surprise mouse kutuzles. The robbers don't. Oh. They have an open container compartment. Oh.

Wow, I bet you could put a laptop in there. How would you know? I don't read Egyptian. I had a bag that I used to use. I don't do that anymore. because this replaced everything for travel. I used to travel exclusively with a Kroger grocery bag. The holes were getting large.

He never replaced the bag. But don't take our word on it. 500,000 suitcases sold in the highest rated luggage brand in the category on Trust Pilot. But you know the only thing better than buying one of these? What's that, Brandon? Buying one at 46% off. You can go to nobletravel.com for up to 46% off your entire order. Does every suitcase come with a 100-day money-back guarantee?

I believe it does. And free three-day express shipping? And we didn't even mention it has a lifetime warranty. So that's nobletravel.com for up to 46% off your entire order. After you order, they're going to ask you how you heard about them. Tell them unsub sends their regards. Also, fun fact about Ford versus Ferrari. Carol Shelby is the reason chili is a restaurant exists.

Excuse me? Yeah. What the f***ing? You know so much about restaurants. I can tell you about the cars. Nick's like, do you know about Chili's register? I'm like, no, Nick, I don't know. Carol Shelby, about fucking cars.

Carol Shelby loved chili, okay? Oh my God, you're right. He does. He had like chili cookoffs and stuff all the time, and he would go to these chili cookoffs. I think he would host some chili cookoffs. He started the very first chili cookoff in the fucking United States. Exactly. So he started the chili cookoff. And his son-in-law, Larry Levine, I think is his name. His son-in-law got the idea at one of these chili cook-offs.

There's no restaurant that, like, makes known for chili. So he goes to Carol Shelby, rich-ass father-in-law with the idea of like, I want to open a chili-themed restaurant. And he's like, oh, dope. I'm rich. Here's the seed money. And that's how Chili's got started. That's incredible. Pretty sure.

So, well, it was funny because I was just remarking this to Connor, like, yesterday, I think. We were just driving down, you know, the highway in San Antonio. And I saw, you know, like the turnoff where it's like food this way. And they have all the different logos for restaurant. I'm like, Chili's branding is so good because all it is is just the picture of like a chili emoji and an apostrophe ass. I think everybody just fucking knows.

It's like branding 100. I didn't think about that. There's, dude, does Shelby? He moved to Africa after Ford f*** him over. That's when he got into South Africa, I think. What year was this? It was after the Ford versus Ferrari thing.

70s? No, he actually started a spice company in South Africa. Really? Yeah, I forgot all about that. I forgot all about the chili thing all together with anything I appreciate it.

I want the fastest car. Done. I like chili. It makes sense. I'm a simple man. That is the first thing that comes up. I type in, maybe it's just my phone listening to me, but Carol Shell

first result. Carol Shelby, Chili, chili. Boom, very nice. How the fuck? Because you don't think of that. That was the last thing you think of when you think of Carol Shelby. Carol Shelby's original, I forgot who's a Texan. Carol Shelby's original Texas brand chili kit is a popular store-bought spice mix created by the legendary automotive designer and racing driver. It's when you made it when you just get to do side quests like that.

Racing legend Carol Shelby organized the first ever world championship chili cookoff in Terolingua, Texas. Terolingua, that's in my district. Traveling of Texas in October of 1967. I mean, same thing with Atari. I'm gonna open a rat casino. I'm going to.

Yeah. Moral of the story. Dude, I would have, do what you like. I would have paid money to be in that fucking boardroom at Atari. Hear me out. Gosh. Child rat casino.

Oh, okay. The rat's gonna smoke a cigar and yell profanities at the other animat Wait, there's other animatronics? Yeah, hippo with huge tits. They bounce. Anyways. It's fun.

What's the show? What's smoking? Don. What? Don Draper? Don Draper. Madman. That is Madman.

It's madman. The rat and the boards and everything. Listen, there's this rat. No, I'm going there. Like, I'm going miles from this place in like a week and a half for campaign stuff. Like I'm actually kind of want to go to the place of the first chili cook off of Carl Shelby. Or, excuse me. Cheryl Shelby.

Am I right about Chili's? So Chili's... Carol Shelby. Drum roll. Racing legend, Carol Shelby, helped inspire and fund the very first Chili's grill and bar in Dallas, Texas in 1975. After his son-in-law, Larry Levine used Shelby's chili enthusiasm and Terrellangler cook-off concepts to design the casual dining restaurants menu theme and startup seed money. Impressive. We got them.

You get it. I was like, oh, I know this. This podcast is just turning to us, like, remembering shit we read on the fucking internet. Ah. Wow. Podcast. A living off of it. I just, I really want just like the slum dog millionaire thing to happen.

Like, how? Which famous race car driver inspired a popular restaurant brand? Carol Shelby was Chili's. It's just flashbacks to this podcast. You activated like a Manchurian candidate I mean if you look at even any of us now

It's like unsept Oh, echelon Oh That Venn diagram Of connecting shit Of what we're attached to now is Can you talk about your company? Which one?

The Tita? Yeah. Mustang? Yeah. Mustang armament? Yeah. Yeah. What about it?

I don't, I didn't know that until literally you sent me a link to it. Oh yeah. Yeah, me and Nick bought him. A.R's. Did you know this? Yeah. Oh, Jesus Christ. Yeah, me and Nick both did videos on him. Sorry, I keep up with my friends.

I like surprises like this. Then I get to learn everything on the podcast. Great reaction. Like, yeah, no, I didn't go to his wedding. I like surprises. No way. Show me photos. Wow, isn't that cool. Cody's married? I got that happen and then the books are I think we're going to have them done by Christmas too for the kids books so that'll be cool yeah dude you got one of our homeboys endorsement for the books Randy so the first book I've gone through the whole spiel before like every you learn a bunch about different war heroes in every book and like so the first book is about dick bong and then the second one is about pappy gun and then the third one's about Lafayette pool the tank commander that few series based on. So that was the first Army one. So I sent the finished book to Randy and let him

read it. He loved it for kids. So he like wrote an endorsement that we're going to put on the book coming from, you know, joint chief. And then I think we have, I haven't got it back yet, but the director of the Richard Bongue Museum in Wisconsin has a copy of the first book. So if they like it, hopefully they write an endorsement too coming from the museum director would be pretty cool. of this is like it's not AI bullshit. It's like all you wrote this and, you know, had illustrators do all the artwork. Yeah. So we have like illustrators.

And then I wrote. Drew, right? What's that? Papa meat was artist. No. No. That would be why. They're more kid appropriate.

No, I think we're, uh, they're going up for presale. But I'm putting them up on pepper box first. So pepper box is going to have like two weeks where they get there's a discount on everything and then they get um there's like some limited stuff like signed copies and there's another kit that has like three different quack bangs in it in like an ammo can that the books come in there's only a limited number so they get first access to that and then uh i'm doing i'm giving away my raptor next month for merch giveaway but for pepperbox people if they if they do buy this or whatever they get entered in that giveaway also even though it hasn't started yet and they get

What does that go on? The Saturday, the 15th. Okay, cool. Yeah, fuck yeah. Yeah. And that one, we're like literally right after this podcast, we'll take a 30 minute break. And then Nick and I go into that podcast.

And then you have the autism talk tonight. Yes, which you're still down for it. Yeah, I'm going. Isn't that what we've been doing the last two hours? Yes. Oh, it's just. fantastic. Do you like cars? I'm a lot. I'm actually, I'm legitimately curious because this is clearly like a passion for you. I don't know how we would have been able to tell based on how you're dressed, but you, you, you, you care deeply about it. I'm curious how that started. Like, where did you get into racing? Gosh. I remember my parents telling me that I would stand in the backseat of a car and look at other cars that we're driving by as they were driving and call out, uh,

to my, to the best of my ability, what the, what the make, model, brand, whatever was. And my mom found it funny. Thank you. Thank you. My mom found it funny until my dad noticed. Hold on a second. He's getting these right. Yeah.

And ever since then, I was kind of like, huh. But no, yeah, ever since I was a kid, dude, I don't know what it is about them. They just make me feel things. And it's great. Just looking at them, driving them especially. Like, it's, I, there are so many topics you can talk about with passion. Yeah. And I genuinely enjoy that.

But I think what I really like about cars is at the end of the day, once we talk about all this cool, cool crap, it is technically possible to go look at an F1 car, to go get a ride in an F1 car. It's prohibitively expensive, but it's possible. And just to talk about like, hey, two and a half G is what you can pull in a Formula 4 car. And then some of you guys did that, it's insane being able to, like, this is what I'm passionate about. I love talking about it.

I love and then experiencing that. Being able to like take it a step further of like, whoa, this is the feeling that I associate with all these things. And I think just expanding my knowledge about it just builds a deeper appreciation for it too. For sure. And that's an interesting delineation between, I think, like male passions and female passions where like something that I was told a while ago that just kind of clicked with me is women talk about people, men talk about things.

And so like everything that we. are passionate about as you know like for me it's guns for you it's cars there's other you know for some of you it's trains whatever it is it's something mechanical that just fascinates us that there's different models or there's specifications there's you know this is the way this performs against this and we're just our mind is so into that yeah it's just it's kind of funny to see how different people they latch on to different passions but at the end of the day it's all like the same root fascination. Yeah. It's kind of cool. It was weird watching something predictable and works.

Brough. I have a question for Eli actually while we're on the autism talk. Are you aware that the puzzle piece is no longer the symbol for autism now? Oh, people hate it. We changed it. That's why I actually used it every time because people started pushing back against it. What was the... I talked about...

Oh, they hate... What did it change to? Oh, Google it. Oh, you haven't seen it? Google it. Google New Autism symbol. I can't wait to see your live reaction to this. People got pissed that all our merch had puzzle pieces,

and I specifically did that because they got mad about it. New autism... That's some petty stuff. That? Yep. The Rainbow Infinity symbol? Yep. What the fuck?

If you have autism. of your game. That's only true for Connor. What the fuck? It's one of those things where it's like, who's the comedian? Oh, what's the comedian said?

He's like, why did autism get put in the flag? We count trans, not dicks. It was an autistic comedian. This is an autistic comedian. Like, that is super autistic. I'm trying to remember his name

of top of my head. He was very, funny. Let me type in autism on autistic comedian because he'll pop up first. That is hilarious. Comedian. He's saying, now if you want to count dicks. AJ.

AJ. Yeah, AJ Wilkerson. AJ Wilkerson. So if you haven't watched him, he is fantastic. It's kind of what he deals with with his autism because he goes up, he stems. He does not like being in front of. He's very like very stem

like centric. Because he doesn't He doesn't like crowds, but understandably. That key stymie as shit just in that screen show. Yeah, it makes sense. Like, so, but sharp, sharp, sharp, but one of his jokes was that. He's like, ha, puzzle pieces. I didn't know if that's the new one. It's offensive now.

It implies there's a problem that needs to be solved or something. I don't know. Dude, it was the same with puzzle pieces. It's like, what, they're different. You have to fit them into something. I'm like, oh, my God. Why does this fucking matter? Ryden liked a piece.

So we're like, I was like, hey, bud, do you like this? He was like, yes, Daddy. I want the puzzle piece. I was fucking good enough for me. You're autistic. I'm not going to argue with you. Let's do this thing. And then we built the shirts around that.

Also, real quick, forgot to talk about Burke. I just want to show it real quick. I'm so proud of this shirt. Dude, I don't, you talking about riding being okay with it. Just reminded me of this. So when I was in high school and a little while after, I worked at a facility that took care of. like severely mentally handicapped people.

And they all have, you know, different variations, whatever. They all have like different things that you have to do for them. Yeah. Yeah.

Special needs. Yeah. And one of the guys that I was taking care of, I was like 19 at the time, he was 28. He, but he had the mentality of like a seven-year-old. He could talk.

He could move around everything. But like mentally, he was like five, six, seven years old around there. Really strong. super into SpongeBob. It was his favorite thing in the world. Absolutely loved it.

That's fine. He wanted to watch SpongeBob all day. That's great. They were going around and they were, I mean, he's, he's going to live there for the rest of his life or in a similar facility. So they, and he has his room and his room has his stuff. And so they do this thing where they go in and they hire people to paint the rooms for whatever people like. And I was like, oh, he loves SpongeBob. Paint him a SpongeBob room.

Like put the pineapple on the wall. They're like, SpongeBob Squidward. Patrick started and they're like, we can't do that. Like, why? It's not age appropriate for him. The fuck. What do we talk? He's got the mentality of a seven year old.

He likes SpongeBob. Paint SpongeBob on the fucking wall. Like, what are we talking? We can do an under the sea theme, but it can't be SpongeBob specifically because SpongeBob is a children's cartoon and he's an adult. I'm like, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. He likes SpongeBob. Yeah.

Who gives a shit? Like, it's, dude, there. is I push riding harder than anyone. Like I'm very big on that. But also I understand the things he likes. And he still has his mini mouse glasses because they're pink. And we bought it like five years ago. He's seen him.

He's like, I want those guys. Fuck yeah, let's rock those glasses. To this day, he still rocks his glasses. A mini mouse has a bow tie. And then I will rock them with him. So he's just like, yeah, fuck yeah. We're walking down one. The other thing that pisses me off is it's like a Disney adult does that.

nobody bats an eye. Yeah, but a Disney adult wants to paint their room to look like Milan, nobody bats an eye, but a mentally disabled guy wants SpongeBob. It's like,

well, we can't do that. That would be age appropriate. We don't want to embarrass the guy. Like, I hate you people. Well, that's what also I wanted to talk about

with the puzzle piece thing. It's because I was looking for the word. I finally found it. It was the euphemism treadmill. We're basically like, you will use a word that's politically correct. And then people will start using that in common nomenclature as we do.

And then they're like, okay, well, that's no longer politically correct anymore. We need to find another word. And then eventually that word then becomes politically incorrect. And you're constantly seeking out new words. Yeah. Because before it was like, was it imbecile, idiot, like things like that. And they're like, oh, well, that's negative. Let's go for retarded, which just literally means you're slower.

Like, that's originally that was the connotation for it. It was the medical term. Yeah. Up on the wherever we have a teaching the mentally retarded. It's also an actual book. It's also an engine term. Yeah. Yeah.

It's a musical term. Like it's like it's an actual term. Like literal terms for everything. And then that became too negative. So now and then it became like a bunch of different. And it's, it's going to continue down that euphemism treadmill. And it's just,

it's constantly chasing your tail to be more politically correct than before. And I'm just tired of it. And I think society is in general, to be honest. There's no point in it when you have, what makes them happy? Do they give a shot? Ask the people like literally, I can ask Ryan, guess what?

He does not give a shit. He is going to like what he likes. But then also it can be like, hey, name the planets, name speed of light, like all this little things. He's going to know it to a fucking tee. I'm like, yeah, little man, let's continue that. But what makes him happy?

Is it SpongeBob? Like the 27, 28 year old man, that makes him happy. Make him happy. And then God forbid, I don't think it's about the fucking word. I think it's about context and intent. Like, are you trying to be mean to somebody who's out like there's a difference between joking around with your boys and trying

to intentionally be hateful towards somebody who is you know has a you know a condition or something like that like that's it varies wildly intent if somebody that's like we can say retard like in every any of these special needs or autistic non-profits we've donated to they've watched our stuff and they're like holy shit it's actually funny you guys don't care what you're saying, but you're also putting your money with your amount. We put almost $1.5 million. We've donated to nonprofits now. And they're like, you're doing an amazing thing.

We do not care. When me and Eli leave here, we're doing a forum for autism and not only autism awareness, but what we can do for the community locally, stuff like that. It's because we actually care about it. It doesn't matter if you say the word retard. And people will try to cancel you based on that. It's like, no, no, no, no.

It's your intent and your actions. Now, if you said that and calling that to any in front of any of these guys, you'll fucking die. That is the quickest death sentence. As you say it with negative intent, oh, I am so sorry for you. Oh, you'll get your fucking ass. The new one is obese. Excuse me? You're not supposed to say obese anymore.

Didn't you see that thing? Gillian Michaels just went on like whatever those YouTube shows are where they like, it was, I think it was surrounding. So she has like 30 obese people around her and she's sitting in a chair in the middle. It's a big room. And she, yeah. Dude, whoever, whoever organized that over at Jubilee where they're like, what, what shows do we have? They're fat people. Make it so the first one to run to the chair gets to speak first.

30, bro, hilarious. They're fucking winded when they sit down. The ganglars. The thumbnail multiple times. I just haven't clicked on the video. The ganglars about inertia. But like, Formula one.

You're on a roll in. Gillian Michaels was talking and she says, you know, basically, like, she uses a word obesity in the context of like the scientific term of like, obesity is really bad for your health. And the woman speaking is like, can we not use that language? We need to use. It was like she wanted to say fat-bodied person or something like that. We talked about that in the text because I was like, this sounds way. Yeah, calling somebody a fat body sounds way worse. calling somebody more obese like the medical term.

In the military, that's what we called. Yeah, that's what we called anybody that was. Drill Sarants would call him and it's like, hey, fat body, get over here. And I don't think people realize that was a derogatory term. Yeah. Well, it's also like anything a drill sergeant would say is intended to be derogatory. It motivates you. Rich.

And there's a, there's an objective medical classification for what is obese and morbidly obese. Like those are, it's not an opinion. It's not like you look this way. It's that you fall within these boundaries. I love the people that are like anti against the internet. Anytime you're like, hey, it's probably not healthy to be 5-2, 350. Are you a medical doctor? Have you seen my blood work?

Do you know? Like, I don't need to be a medical doctor. Like, I'm not a mechanic. If you fire up the car and it sounds like shit, I know something's wrong. Also, if half the body panels are falling off, I know it's not street safe. I don't know. Unrelated. How's your campaign going?

Great, actually. Setting that up for a while. things are going well thank you for asking you built a snowman for that one pulling that back back around completely unrelated I just I don't understand how you can try to say that stuff like that is healthy and you can you can point to a bunch of different things about like hey as a society we are way too into you know eating out or cooking in all these crazy oils or all these carcinogenic stuff like there's a lot of unhealthy behaviors that we have but to say that like being fat in general is healthy i just i don't understand how you make that jump we're the only

country that has we went from like well we're at 60% obesity rate i think which is extremely unhealthy and then when you go to other countries it is one where they look at you like what the happened for this because this diet fitness exercise it's just it'll make you feel better when you go of the gym with, like, all of us going to the gym. Guess what? Dave, we got a boy tweet. Dave has now been a month and a half, a month in three weeks at the gym, and he is crushing it. And he went from some depression to, he's like, fuck, I should have been doing this a lot

longer. And I want that for people. Like, I want it. It's not like, oh, I want you to be lesser than. It's like, no, I know how good this is for you and I want that for you. you know it's not like you're trying to make people feel less than no like you're trying to help them you want it's not coming from a bad place i guess is what i'm trying to say no i think a lot of people would be surprised we care about if we see you doing that we will be the first ones to be like yo

keep doing that we will help you we will guide you exactly oh it's one of the reasons or even if you go if you go to like people always say like well i don't want to get judged at the gym, if you go to like the biggest like bodybuilder steroid gym like out there and you're a much bigger individual, but you're out there working your ass off trying to better yourself, you will find nothing but support. If somebody tries to talk shit to you for that, they're going to get their ass beat because that's just not the culture. It's one of those weird things.

Well, people do think it's like bodybuilders are like meatheads are going to attack you. It's like, no, they will be the most supportive individuals and probably write you out a workout plan and a diet plan. They're like, what do you need here? That's steroids. Oh my gosh. Like, no, don't do that one. You hear that shit all the time, though, like,

jujitsu, because I need to get in shape before I go do that. It's like, that's what you do to get in shape, dude. I don't just show up. Like, I don't, I want to go to college, but I need to get my doctorate degree first. No, you go to college to get the doctorate degree. That's how this works. Like, I'm sorry. Like, I don't.

People want, they just make it really complex or just want an excuse to why they can't do something or why they are the way they are. And it is baffling. If I have to hear one more morbidly obese woman claim that I, how do I want to phrase this? The amount of people that have said something along the lines that defies the laws of physics blows my mind. It's not just calories in, calories out. It's more complicated than that. No, it isn't. No, it's not.

If it's not that simple, the government would have abducted you and hooked you up to machines because you're a renewable energy source that defies the laws of physics. You know what I mean? Like, you can't just eat less food and lose weight. Yes, you can. Show me one picture of somebody that's 350 in a concentration camp. You can't. They don't exist. It's not a thing.

well that's that's one thing too is like are there things that like play into that like with hormones as far as like what your body draws from first whether it's fat muscle things like that oh of course sure but yeah you're you're definitely if you're if you're running at a consistent deficit if you're actually like working and you've got like a 1,000 calorie deficit you are going to lose yeah what is it 3,600 calories per fat per pound of fat around there something along those lines it's like yeah that's that's just a mathematical reality what I find dynamics. Yes. What I find fascinating is I am not big. I was never big. I was actually quite skinny. I was borderline, not anorexic, but below normal BMI for a huge part of my life until I discovered

gym for a little bit. But for the past five or six years, I've been living quite a sedentary lifestyle. I started to get a lot of back pain, which was weird because I thought, hey, I'm skinny. I'm healthy. No. In the past four months, I've been going to the gym more often, and I've been doing some exercises, particularly for lower back for core. My back pain is gone. Yeah. Completely. Jim is just healthy. It's just healthy. Like, my life has improved so much because I can sit and not be like, oh, it's the chair. Building up the muscle. Yeah. So your back's not pulling everything altogether? Yeah. So a lot of people don't realize your core is extremely important if you're doing your planks, your sit-ups, your dead. lifts, squats, any of those activate the core and then it alleviates your back doing, your lower back doing the work. Usually it's tight hamstrings that are your posterior chain. Primary domines and then secondary is the secondaries take over and that's what caused that tension instead

of your glutes and your hamstrings doing the work. Your lower back starts doing the work. and then it just causes back pain. Yay. And then you're like, what the fuck's going on? I do not like this. I'm 22. Why does my back hurt? I will say, I think all the body positivity stuff's been dying down ever since they came out with the fat vaccine.

It's really put a hole in that argument. I mean, I don't know if you guys, it's used to a very unhealthy degree right now. Oh, for sure. But, I mean, it just destroys the argument of it's not just calories in calories out. Unless you take this shot, what's the shot do? Oh, it makes it so you're not hungry. you don't eat as much. Oh, so it was that all along. I'll let you guys decide if you want to keep this. I don't know

if you've seen a lot of Hollywood's using that and abusing it to. Well, they look gaunt. Did you see Arianna Grande's video? No. She looks bad. The one that drives me nuts is Megan Trainor. No, this is brother. She was the one that got famous for being a little bit bigger and she sings a song. It's all about that base, about that bait. And she like has songs about being a bigger girl and being thick or whatever. Well, she started taking GLP's, whatever the Friar, Monjaro. And she, like, lost a ton of weight, which great, that's fine. Like, whatever. Like, whatever's healthy for you. If, if that is, if that's the only

way you can lose weight and that you, there's risks involved, like yes, but are the risks worse than being morbidly obese your whole life? If no, take the fucking medication. Here's what drove me crazy about it. Because people are saying like all the, all the risks of, you know, oh, you know, bone density and everything like that. from taking this g lp ones it's like well yeah you're telling me somebody who didn't understand anything about nutrition so they ballooned up to a giant weight because they didn't understand calories in calories out macro nutrients micro nutrients whatever now that you made them not hungry and they're having 900 calories a day still don't understand anything about nutrition they're just

eating fewer gushers it's like okay you're telling me that suddenly they don't have all the nutrients they need to feed their bones i'm not shocked yeah that should not be surprising isn't necessarily weight. It's healthy. Yes. Yeah. And that's, I don't know. It's a little harder to define. Ariana Grande. This is, this video came out 12 days ago. This actually people, the comments were just like, hey, we're just worried about you now. Like, that's it. Dude, her chest. You can see her ribs like in this area. Well, I mean, oh, God, yeah. Well, because people were talking about that with, um, that's a lot of people. What is it wicked? Dude. Yeah. Yeah, well, the wicked, exactly wicked.

And they're like, hey, we think like her show, like the shoulder bones. Dude, get this woman a cheeseburger. That's how we were like, what the fuck going on? The part that drives me nuts, like Megan Traynor obviously went on this medication, which is fine. But now her whole Instagram feed is her in the gym. And she's trying to play it like, in my opinion. She's trying to play it off like, I lost all this weight because it's hard work in the gym. But then you watch her doing exercises in the gym.

and I was like, she did not lose that much weight. 10 reps of shenanigans. Yeah, she did not lose that much weight with a 5 pound cattle bell. I'm sorry. Like this is, Connor.

Oh, fuck sake. We've been fresh out of a Somalia. Dude, the zingers. Welcome to the podcast. Yeah. This is pretty mild.

This is actually fairly mild. It's a skeleton with skin. How come she didn't get cast in the new he, man? How did Gerard let us? I don't get that job. Wait, how's the new He-Man? I heard it was... I heard it was actually pretty good.

Yeah, really, really good. I seen the first... I need to finish it. I watched the first, like, 30 minutes. It's like, oh, this is actually pretty funny right now. I enjoyed it in the context of this is what I remember from He-Man when I was a kid. I think it's fine. It's obviously cheesy.

But it's supposed to be cheesy. It's for kids. It's based on He-Man. But as an adult, I'm sitting there and being like, man, some of these guys' powers are f***ing lame. What's this guy's power? His neck gets really long. Like what a lame fucking power. It's like that's the weak

point. What's your superpower? Yeah, the structurally most vulnerable, weakest part of my entire anatomy. I can make it a really big target. What's his super? I exposed my heart. Whoa. Why? They can punch people. Don't you die

from that? That seems kind of useless. For movies, when, I mean, assuming you watched F1. Oh, yeah. Did you, what did you think of that? I got, like, everyone loved it. Nick, you loved it.

Okay. I've seen it like three or four times now. My man. Yeah, same. When I went into that movie, I didn't realize it started with the 24 hours of Daytona. And this was about a week after I had done the 24 hours of Daytona. Not in real life, virtually. I have got some car friends that I do sim racing with.

Is that I racing, right? Yes. We spent weeks prepping for this event. and we chose the Porsche 9-11. We did, I can still fear. So you did the actual digital 24 full fucking hours. Oh, I raise, dude, we have to actually, this would be a really good gang episode. It's not all me.

It was a group of four or five of us. So we take shifts. But still, someone stays up. You watch for, you watch four or five hours at a time. About, yeah. No shit. Yeah, it's a lot. But it's fun.

It's kind of grueling mentally. It's difficult. You're sitting there sweating the whole time. But man, the camaraderie. It's great. No shit. Yeah. I can.

still hear the sound of the Porsche transmission just in my mind sometimes when I go to sleep. It's great. So I went into this movie not knowing that it starts with Brad Pitt or Sonny Hayes driving the 9-11. And they did such a good job of keeping it accurate but entertaining and enjoyable. Oh, my goodness. The first couple minutes of that movie, I couldn't sit still. I was hopping up in my seat going, babe, babe, I got the engine sounds right. No movie does that anymore.

Do you hear it? They're doing... Yes, babe. Yeah. I'm just like geeking out over it. So, yeah, they did a really good job on the movie. I enjoyed it quite a bit. That's cool.

Yes, the F-1 stuff was awesome. But just the way that it started, like, sold. Huge fan, 10 out of 10. The average car guy's significant other, like watching it with them, like just swiping on Tinder like, yes, babe. The car noise is like, oh, my gosh. I love you. I'm the same way with guns and movies.

stuff like that. Was it Kevin we had on that helped with saving Private Ryan for the audio? That was really cool. I wasn't even on that podcast, but I watched it and hearing him talk about like the level of just audio work they put into that movie was crazy. I can say this now. I just got credited with helping with the,

uh, the gun noises and the gun sounds for the new call of duty coming out. That's pretty sick. So I don't think I told any of you guys about that. No. Yeah. Some of our boys at drive tanks just called me up one day. They're like,

hey, the call of duty crew is here. They need these guns and they'd like to record with this, this, this, this, this. Can we borrow stuff and can you come out and help us with that? I'm like, yeah, totally. Did they get that? Oh, we were doing like, we were just sitting there just. No, the AK50. It was ASMR.

AK50 was included in it just in case. Okay. And they figured it was easier to get that audio now. This is, it's really going to do a lot for the video game when I get shot by some 11-year-old that has a Ninja Turtle or Nikki Minaj skin to know that the gun audios. Correct. Yes. You might say that, but Fortnite.

Yeah, Brandon. Someone will appreciate it. I still remember being on YouTube and finding this video that was saying, like, every movie does snipers wrong. And I was like, what do you mean to do snipers wrong? It's simple. And there was a scene of like a long distance sniper shot. And the scene basically goes where you hear the sound of a gun going off and then the bullet hits him.

And then they go, no, that's completely wrong. Because the bullet travels faster than the speed of sound. it should be oh that makes sense it's amazing and so for me i have a similar thing just with movies whenever there's cars in there i cannot help notice when they do a disservice at almost any movie oh my goodness uh like baby driver need for speed i made a video about this on my youtube page where it just it drives me insane where you see a car with a very bespoke sound to it and it just changes every four seconds. It's almost unwatchable for me. No, I have to talk to you about this because I texted Eli after we did Formula 4. I immediately like I left from like we both left from the same airport.

We went to Dallas. You guys went home. I went to Jordan. Yep. And so I'm on this 15 hour flight to Dubai and I'm watching F1 of course. Yeah. You know, on the flight there. Just recently having done the F4 course or whatever, I'm like, what the fuck is Brad Pitt doing with his hands? And he's like, yep. I'm like, interesting driving strategy. Five minutes into this movie, I'm like, what the fuck's up with his hands? Straight away? Because it's movie.

Yep. Because you can't do this for a movie. It's boring and shit. They're just whipping that bitch back at boys. It's like, oh, he's under duress, obviously. Straight. He's fighting to keep the car. Oh.

Yeah. New guns and everything is one thing with all the guys. It's just like, the first one that did it right. was John Wick can tell that it was a lot of just like I mean John like changed the the gun world it really did yeah or in Hollywood aren't they like officially isn't Keanu Reeves like officially credited with the flick mag dump I feel like that existed long before him I've been running jokes of it before him but I do think he he more mainstreamed it to the general populace actually all they were

was the commercial back in like two. Like the old magpole videos? Yeah, when the guy goes like this and kills a back. He goes like, and it just, you know what movies I want to come back? I fucking love hot shots with Charlie Sheen. Yes,

Hot shots part due. Part two is so, when he's doing the Rambo thing and everybody's just falling down, he's got the M60, and then he runs out of ammo, and he just like grabs a handful of ammo out of a can and throws it and you hear bullet noises and they all fall down.

like that's so funny to me. War. It's fantastic. As a non-gun guy, what did John Wick the movie do for guns that was so much better than others? He actually reloads. Okay, that I can appreciate.

Dear God, they got it right. Oh, they're having a battle with suppressors in a subway. It was very artsy. I see. Have you heard a suppressed gun before? It's still out. you're going to know this yeah somebody doesn't

next to you you're going to be like the fuck the fuck was that was that a fly no no it's it's still but John Wick won really kind of I think was a turning point in Hollywood because so Keanu Reeves actually trained with Terran he was really doing all the

actual gunplay stuff he learned how to manipulate these firearms over weeks of training okay so and that came across in his weapons handling but all the different things like wall banging people like through sheet rock a lot of the like actual like the reloads the gunplay was actually it was like the gunplay was an actor in the movie got it like they they really catered it toward

that yeah and i think all the gun guys appreciated it because before then it was like the early 2000s with hollywood gun play was so those are stopping high caliber rifle rounds and shit it wasn't much different than the 80s and then john wick i feel like was it john wick or was it just that time period. I don't know, but I feel like John Wick was a turning point. Doors stopped. Any gun possible. Guns, cars, or excuse me, doors, cars, what's the actor that plays not, the actor that plays Goose and the OG. Oh, Valcommer. Valcomer.

Not Goose. Iceman. Yeah. What is the movie he's in where he really, he's like a bank robber and he reloads the M16. Yeah. Yeah. Like I, I have heard. they didn't show it at mine, but like I've heard they actually show that at like some infantry schools of like, this is how you're supposed to reload. And they show that clip from the movie Heat of Dal Kilmer back in the day doing that actual reload. Because they got the M4s, the FNCs, like heat was actually that that really was the first time people actually paid attention to gunplay in that scene. Because he was here, drop, reloading, slapping, and then back on target,

which, uh, bounding movement. Compared to like, Fast and Furious one when it's like, nitrous and the bolts fall out from the floorboard, and you're like, the second you know cars are like, my immersion's broken, yeah. Yeah, I can't enjoy this. Why did the floor plate fall? Because it said engine warning.

Danger to manifold. Yeah. Passenger floor. Watch it again. It's really bad when you go back and watch the original. I will die on the hill that Fast and Furious 3 is the best one. Oh, Tokyo Drift. It's my favorite one.

I just watched it recently. It's like not even part of the storyline. Was that the one where the guy like, it opens with a dude like crashing through the construction site and go, can I get a copy of that? Yes. I love that. It was good. That's my favorite Fast and Furious movie. And then the rest of them are just like, all right, street racing.

That's cool. And then like I blinked and the dude that was running the underground street races is now hacking into NASA. I don't know what's happening. Flying a J. rules flying a rocket. space and you're like, huh, this took a detour versus, yeah,

the mind they call him me a gongy, what is that? Tokyo drift was just in a cold. I mean, you know, it was just Hollywood being like, all right,

hear me out. Armageddon, where, you know, it was easier to teach oil rigors how to be astronauts instead of teaching astronauts how to drill a fucking hole.

That, but for nine movies of street racers doing everything. Yep. Wasn't it where he's one of the actors is like he asked the director that.

Uh, yeah, that was, uh, Ben Affleck on, uh, Armageddon. I was like, wouldn't it just be easier to teach astronauts how to drill a hole? Shut the fuck up. I didn't know about that. Okay, well, that loophole is, uh, just shut up and bang the hot chick from the Lord of the Rings. Yes, sir. I never thought about it like that.

Fine, I'll take the paycheck. Oh, just the idea is like, you know what's easier than training. Astron was to drill a hole. teaching oil rigors to fucking know how to travel into space. I will say, easy peasy. The cast, whoever the writer was,

did a great job at the list of demands. One more thing. We don't ever want to fucking pay taxes again. I was like, that would happen. That would happen. I'll save the planet. No more taxes.

We can do that. I guess. Sure. I've paid my deal. Dude, that works. Vin, where do the people find you on the social medias? Pretty much on every platform. It's just actually Venn, all one word, except TikTok.
