- The military is the biggest group of rats and assholes you've ever fucking met. - Made a CQB AT4. - Hold on, time out. - Get on your fucking iPhone or your Android and bitch about it. Go buy a plot of land, roll around in the mud and fuck each other. Nobody cares!

The Lawton Bomber. What does that word even mean? Lawton is the land where flavor forgot in Oklahoma. And bomber is an explosive. Is it? I've never heard of it. It's a bomb. It's a bomb. Explosive? Do you know anything about explosives? I know they suck. Why? I know I don't like them. But why? I don't get it.

I think it's just the thermal barrack ones that suck, actually. The what? Thermal barracks, yeah. See, that's a big word I ain't got. That was a joke. A vacuum bomb. Never mind. Yeah, it's a fuel air. Never mind. He got it. The engineer's laughing his fucking ass off in the corner. He's crazy. Break that shit down with crayon for me next time, all right? It's a grenade that you have to throw and then leave the structure.

You can't be, I mean you can, but you shouldn't. - Like that's an actual thing we have, like this exists. It's not like a theoretical. - No, it's real and we had it, I carried one early on, like before they came out and-- - We're gonna have all the coolest stuff. - If you throw them, like you shouldn't be in, you should be at least five rooms away when you throw it. And it came with a five second regular grenade fuse. - That's not enough seconds. - What?

- At least it wasn't the flashbang. Dude, what catch would people have? - Yeah, 1.5, yeah, 1.5. I love the Navy flashbangs. They were the best, the light ones. - I haven't seen those ones. - Well, they blew off a bunch of people's hands, so apparently that was a problem.

Do this line because you're like, I got pain. They make you want to vomit. So I had a squad leader in Afghanistan who was just batshit crazy and he got bored and he would throw, we'd be at the range right next to our cop and he'd throw the riot control grenades over the wall and fucking, by the way, those hit every fingernail on every single one of your hands. The rubber...

- Those things hurt so fucking bad. But then, I was in a tower in the middle of the night, minding my own business, and I hear clunk clunk clunk, and I look down and just white, and I could hear nothing, my equilibrium was off, I started dry heaving, it was the worst experience of my fucking life. He flash banged me in the tower, 'cause he was bored. - Overpressure. - Yeah, and that's how you get TBI. - And on that note, welcome to Unsubscribe Podcast.

How y'all doing? How y'all doing? Today, we have an epic episode. Nick is back from his accident. The Fat Electro- I fucking hate you. I'm sensing a backstory. Who we got? There really isn't. That's the sad part. Habitual. Habitual line crosser. And then we got... Tyler. Tyler. Tyler. Our big-

Tyler Gray. There we go. That's all I got. That's my title. They're just going to type in Tyler in Google and be like, I don't know who this dude is. Your Navy SEAL, right? I'm joking. Don't kill me. Only when I'm working. I love that.

It's absolutely true. So on this episode, we're just I'm excited for this. So I haven't seen Tyler. We have my boy. Probably when we shot the video. Yeah, I know. It's been fucking forever ago. It was like forever ago. So you know what year that was? Twenty eighteen, I think. And seven. Eighteen. Yeah. Wow. This is or seventeen. This is me. We did a Memorial Day video. Matt, Tyler, me.

Had an idea, I was like, okay, this is how I want it. - You had an idea. - I had an idea. And then in two days, it got 30 million views.

Jesus. Yeah, it was a fucking monster. It was a monster. It was a great video. Still one of my favorite videos we've ever done. Great job. You're bringing back old friends together. I got my new friend, Ethan, that I've been talking with on the internet for a year. I brought him here so I could get him fucking fired from the military. That's why I brought him here. I know. I'm going to get him kicked out. That's my whole goal. I mean, can't you get fired for anything nowadays? I know. Somewhere, if I'm not on the Army's watch list, I'd be really surprised. Somebody somewhere just watches my content like,

Let me see if I can Google that. Just to see if I've stepped over the line a little bit too far that they can arrest me. - You should see his camo face paint. It's just black, it's weird. - You're saying that shit 'cause you had more than lips in here like a week ago. - That's the new meme, the army makeup kit, but it's just all black. - I can't do this. They won the war but got canceled on the internet.

It's so weird that the kid only comes with one color now. And black is found nowhere in nature. I know, that's always the best thing. It's like darkness. Darkness. Oh, we stick out real bad. Wear your black boots because you know that color doesn't exist. Dude, Nick, so we had Nick was, Nick had a terrible accident. What happened? That lined up perfectly. There I was in Australia wrestling wild bulls.

Amphibians. Fuck, I don't know. You tell me what happened. You made this shit up. You were trying to teach Europeans about the standard system. That's what you were doing, right? It's true. You had something on your last video. There was a swelling or something. I didn't notice it, but everyone was like, what happened next? What happened? Did you have a swelling of your face? I have no idea. Dude, people were pointing at it. I was like, what the fuck? It's called edema. Probably. Medically.

No, I have no idea what you're even talking about. I swear people put, never mind, Nick. I'm sorry. I thought it just coincided with something because people were like, what happened to his face? And maybe it's just your face. Probably. I don't know. I'm so sorry. And yes, Nick is a host. We are going to be rotating the host. Cody is a host. Fucking Nick's a host and Brandon's a host.

And then we're going to have guests on. But Eli's not a host. I'm not a host. I'm a guest always. Is this the mic that Brandon put his mouth over? Because it smells like gunpowder and political change. I'm going to hear for him.

- There we go. How's everyone doing? - It's good to have you back. Good to have you on for the first time. - Yeah, it's been way too long. - And then we got Mr. Nick. Nick's gonna have a story for us historically. - Oh fuck. - He has one, I hope, in the can. We're gonna, and then ask amazing stories from you both. - Oh, oh wait, have I told that one? The reason we do a straight no volts test?

- The what? - So one of our things with missiles is we find out like it's a test. We make sure there's no stray voltage in any of the lines or anything like that. And for like years, no one knew why we did this test. It was just a safety precaution. Come to find out and it's like a random obscure fact. - Shit, wait, wait, hold on. Before you finish, we gotta pop these. I'm an asshole. By the mic, everyone in front of your mic. - Nope, get ahold of it. - Three, three, two, one. Have you ever said why we actually do that? - On to your story.

I have no fucking clue. We just started it. And it's a thing now. That's the new audio sync instead of the clap. Oh, yeah. It is. Oh, yeah. We didn't talk about the clap no more? That's the real reason. I just fucked it up. Yeah, you're good. His audio is going to be out of sync. That's how little I drink carbonated drinks. I was like, oh, shit. I fucked this up. How do I do this? So,

So in the 1970s, I want to say it was like 72 or 73, we had the Nike Hercules system, which is America's, honestly, my favorite air defense system we've ever come up with. The theory was you just put a nuclear warhead on the end of an air defense missile and doesn't matter how many jets Russia throws at you, you can hit them all once and they're all just gone.

'Cause America, that's what we do. We did this several different times. But-- - Wait, we literally just was like, let's put a nuke at the end of it? - Yeah, it was either a two kiloton or 20 kiloton. - That was like the 1960s through the mid 80s, though, for everything. The Cold War, we were like, fuck it. - And their theory was, as long as we set it 100,000 feet up, we should be good. Don't know how, I don't math that math, like I'm not a nuclear engineer, I have no idea what that does to the atmosphere, but we're there. But anyways.

These things are stored horizontally and then they would, you know, point them up obviously to use them. In the 1970s in Okinawa, Japan, stray voltage arced from somebody and set off a Nike Hercules horizontal across the island and like killed three people. And the Navy had to send out divers to go fish a nuclear warhead out of the ocean. That's a real thing.

- Just from an arc? - Yeah, yeah, it arced and accidentally set off the solid state fuel. - Bro, that private was probably terrified. - Oh, fired. Fired a thousand-- - No, he was dead. - Yeah, that was-- - No, imagine if he walked up and he's like, "Uh oh, oh no." - Just go. - "Big Star's gonna be angry." He's just waiting there, you're like, "Hey, Captain."

I lost the nuke. I just set it off. It was a small one. Built by the lowest bidder moment is what that was. Well, it's like technically, so this is a true story. I was at some gas station and this woman at the gas station came out and was chewing my ass about using my cell phone while I was pumping gas.

And she's like, I can't explode. I'm like, yeah, I know it's theoretically possible, but I'm like, do you hear it on the news? You know what I mean? I was like, come on, calm down. Yeah, it's very low on. And she was irate. And I'm like, God, come on. Oh, people get pissed now. Crazy, man. Crazy. Ah!

Just pull back just a smidge. You're probably going to have the craziest stories out of this entire... I don't know what stories. You have a couple. You have stories you can't tell? Yes. You have a whole blocked out list of stories. Redacted. We don't know what happened for these years, but the rest of it... And the crazy part is those redacted stories aren't military stories.

They're, you know, certain genre of personal life. Well, go into your history. So, like, what is your background? Background? I was in Army SOF, Special Operations. Spent almost 10 years there. Got medically retired after getting hurt. And then moved to Hollywood. Started working in entertainment.

And did that for about six or seven years, then started working on a TV show called SEAL Team. And I've been working in front and behind camera on that for, oh God, I don't want to think how long, like six years.

They have a really good supervisor if they're using you as the guide. So what color was your little patches on your shoulder? What color were they? So the best part of that, you know, working, I was the advisor for so long. And I said in the very beginning, I can do, I can advise on anything unless it involves boats and or water.

I'm like, if it has to do with water, I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. I'm telling you right now. And then every time somebody would come, something would come up boat wise. They're like, Tyler, how do you do this? I'm like, I have no idea. I told you, I don't do boats. I don't do, uh, maybe seal stuff. I don't do seal stuff. Yeah. So you're playing a seal and you're like, well, people always ask me why I wasn't a seal. I'm like, Oh, simple. I can't swim.

And they're like, no, really, no. I can't swim because I do not float even a little bit. I'll jump in water and sink right to the bottom. Well, not to the bottom, but my head will not be above water to breathe, which apparently is important to float. You might need that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But no, I've never, yeah, that's. What was your, so when did you join? Joined in 97, end of 97. And then when was the accident? Oh, five.

And then what was the accident? I got blown up in Iraq. Dang, Skippy. Where in Iraq? Sadr City. No shit. Only the nice places. Only the nice places. You know, one time I was at this airbase and the Wi-Fi went out. It's kind of the same thing. Oh, man.

You're like, we're not the same. My Wi-Fi went out. You want to know PTSD? The power went out in the gym. I couldn't lift. It was awful, man. The networking system that connected the Xbox went down and we could only play one player. But you were the knife with the red? Yeah, I had a cool job. I'm assuming all of us

look up to you, looked up to you, especially during that time frame. You were like the upper echelon is what I was, I was like, those guys are so cool. Look, they don't have name tapes. - So here's the funny part about that is, you know, when I was in Ranger Battalion, you know, that's when I saw the unit, I was like, oh my god, these guys are like gods, right? And then you're there one day and you see some Rangers

Looking at you that way and you're like, oh my god, they don't know I still suck Like they think I'm cool and and you go through all that training of the year over a year and all this stuff and then you get to a team and you think you're hot shit because you've literally been doing everything every day for a year and then you get to the team and you realize that everyone is leaps and bounds better than you and you suck and

So it's an interesting... So it's a reset almost. It's the strangest thing. If you want to know Ranger Bat, it was the funniest shit is watching my buddy Campbell when he got to Ranger Bat. And I seen him at Best Buy. And I remember running. I was like, bro, I haven't seen you in so long. I was like, where are you? You're supposed to go like 80 seconds. He was like, I'm at Second Bat. I was like, oh, fuck yeah. How is it? They fucking hate me, Eli. Jesus.

I think they want to kill me. Oh, was he an import? Yeah. No, he just got brand new private, just put into it. He like passed and then he tried out for rip at the time. Yeah. Got accepted. Went right there and he's like, they want to kill me. Oh no, that's absolutely true. Do they shit on you until you have like a scroll and a tab? Yep. You're just dog shit. Yeah. But, but,

So I think that's awesome. And the reason is, no, you've got to start from the bottom. You know what I mean? You've got to start from the bottom. You've got to be treated like shit in order to keep that humility. No matter how cool what you're doing is cool, you have to realize that you're still just freaking part of the machine. And I loved having that basis as an infantry soldier there.

Because all combat CQB is a great example of everyone's like, Oh, CQB is this blah, blah, blah. No, no, it's not. CQB, I define as it's infantry combat in a confined space under extreme conditions.

That's my name I made for it. But it's like, that's what it is. It's just infantry combat. Just because you're indoors in a tight environment doesn't take away the principles. So if you don't have a basis in those principles, you're not going to be good at the cool guy stuff if you don't know how to do basic infantry stuff.

That's fucking crazy. I can't even imagine how many rounds you did. How many rounds would you shoot on a typical shoot house or training exercise compared to... So when I was... I'm not talking about training, but when I was out of training, I would shoot a case a day. A thousand rounds a day. That's more trigger time than my entire military career. I'd grab a case and go shoot it. And the thing is... What the fuck?

Because reading stories, there's a, I forget who wrote the first book about. Eric Haney. And it's like everyone had a callus, and that's how you knew from pistol training and firing. It's like where the callus was. I don't know if that's true now to this day. This is like 80s or 90s. No, he was late 70s, actually. He went through in 77. The whole, that's a funny story, so very quick shout out to him. So I get out of, as soon as I get out, I

I am like, okay, I want to go work in Hollywood. So I like looked up his contact information and called his like manager and was like, Hey, I'd like to meet with Eric, have lunch with them, whatever. And he at the time was executive producer of the unit. No shit of the show that was on at that time. So I go and had lunch with them and, and, uh,

I didn't have a basis for understanding at that time how good his advice was. What did I know? Nothing. But he really gave me some good advice. But what's funny is that show was on CBS. SEAL Team, however many years later, was on CBS. So it's just a funny, you know, like I'm having this conversation with him, and I guarantee what's going to happen is somebody I've had lunch with or whatever in five years is going to be on some show,

You know, that I tried to give them advice that they probably didn't realize was good at the time. Just like I didn't realize Eric's advice was good at the time. But yeah, it's just it's a every everything I see in the military specifically to me is just it's just like a cycle. And it's like we're all on the same cycle, just at different timelines. That's how I view it.

McDonald's and all the gasoline was rough. We started with nukes. You can't go bigger than nukes. No, Nick Scott, I want to know what story you're working on next. We'll get back. I want, I want to hear your fucking, I just filmed a video on the Berlin airlift and then now I'm working on the Berlin wall.

What you were saying is fucking crazy. When you say story, I want context. Like, what do you... Oh, we'll come back. I got you. No, your story on, like... No, no, no. His story. Sorry. Oh, so Nick. Have you ever watched Nick's? Well, no. That's why... So Nick is kind of a historian. The fat electrician is... Bro, you're a historian. You've shit... Now he's in college shitting on people.

But you're basically telling like a story of something that actually happened. I read all the shit historians wrote down and then I actually make it entertaining so people will learn it. Dude, that's awesome. That's kind of my goal. That's awesome. Have you done the Ludendorff Bridge? We talked about that last time I was here and I, oh, you should really. I've not yet. Because I can't articulate that the way you did it. That was like air defense coup de grace. Like that's,

That was phenomenal. Oh, man, I hope we get that. If you want crazy stories, like Nick, he's probably working on Run Right. Oh, as you're saying, like the Berlin Wall, I want to hear that, if you can give a teaser of it. But Nick deep dives into a lot of soldier ones, which is like, what's your favorite story you've done with? I like McNasty, personally. Jake McNasty. Jake McNasty McNeese. He's a

He's a paratrooper from, have you ever seen like that old World War II footage of the dude right on D-Day getting ready and he's painting him? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - That's Jake McNasty. - With the Mohawk? - Yeah. - Okay. - That's Jake McNasty.

For

$45 upfront payment equivalent to $15 per month. New customers on first three-month plan only. Taxes and fees extra. Speeds lower above 40 gigabytes. See details. Dude, he was a fuck up all through. He didn't have to go to World War II because he was a firefighter. And he was like, I want to go fight anyways. So then he went to some small town in Ponca City, Oklahoma. And just like went and...

beat the fucking shit out of his high school bully, like almost to death and then went and joined the military the next day. So he didn't get in trouble for it. I think it was just a huge fuck up all through training. Always got in trouble, beat up a couple MPs multiple times. And he was such a fuck up. They stuck him in his own platoon by himself.

Sounds like the dream. Yeah. So then they just keep giving him more fuck-ups, and then he just builds this platoon that ends up being the Filthy 13, this platoon of fuck-ups, and they're all combat engineers, and they're all super badass at their jobs. They're just not controllable. It's like The Dirty Dozen. Well, that's what it's based off of. The Dirty Dozen movie is based off of him and off of the Filthy 13. Nice. That's awesome. Yeah, so they...

They dropped him in on D-Day, and those guys were supposed to go hold this bridge that was going to be able to reinforce Utah Beach.

And him, he loses all of his guys and it's just him. And he starts picking up stragglers, like amasses 40 dudes, takes them to this bridge and they hold it for like three days. Reinforcements never show up. And then a bunch of P-51 Mustangs come in, blow up the bridge because they figured that he was dead and that he didn't get it and hold it. So they were going to get rid of the bridge altogether. So now he's just defending this big, you know,

creek river thing on one side and an entire battalion of SS Germans showed up and told him to move. And he said, no. And him and 38 random paratroopers took out an entire SS battalion. And then, uh, he jumped into, he, then he jumped in an operation market garden, cleared out Eindhoven and the entire town, him and his guys did that.

And then he's like... While saving five eggs? While saving five eggs, yeah. He's clearing... He's going through Eindhoven, right? And he talks about how they didn't have CQB like you guys did today. He's like, yeah, we just throw in a frag grenade and then crawl in on our hands and knees with a Tommy gun because the buildings had so much dust and shit on them you couldn't see. So they cleared a whole city that way and he goes into this furniture making factory and he finds a chicken. This chicken laid six eggs and you can't get fucking eggs on the front line in World War II. So he's like...

I'm taking these fucking eggs. So he sticks them in his cargo pockets. He's trying not to break the eggs while he's clearing rooms. They make it all the way through the city. And then they're like, cool, we're done. And then a fucking bunch of German tanks roll out of the wood line. And they're like, fuck. So they go and they got to take out like six German tanks. He ends up breaking one of the eggs. He saved the other five. From there, he's like.

From there, he falls back to France, and he gets put on 72 hours of leave, and he's like, fucking, I'm going to Paris to get booze. His officer tries to stop him. He's like, you have 72 hours leave. It's a fucking four-day trip to get to Paris. And he's really thinking, 72 hours, you're going to get to Paris, have a bender, and get back? And he's like, I don't know, but I'm willing to try. Yeah.

So he goes AWOL for like 19 days, gets hammered, gets fucking arrested. They bring him back in his chain of commands like, hey, we want you to be a Pathfinder. And in World War II, a Pathfinder had a 80% attrition rate for one mission.

Every mission they'd drop a Pathfinder Zenon, they needed two Pathfinders and one set of gear. They would drop 10 Pathfinders and two sets of gear just because that's what it took to give the mission a chance because that many people died. That's insane to think you're signing up for that. But it was voluntary basis only, so they couldn't make him do it, but they told him they wanted to. And he's like, they just wanted to get me killed. They didn't want to deal with me anymore. So he's like, but hear me out. Pathfinder school is in, I forget the town in England, but it's where...

What's the Ivy League college in England? Oxford? Oxford. It's the same town that Oxford was in and all the boys were off fighting a war. So Oxford was just full of college chicks. Oh my God. This guy's a genius. In his book, he's like an 80-year-old man and he's like, it was a mighty fine opportunity to get some postgraduate work in is what he fucking said. That's genius. So he goes... Everyone's playing checkers. This guy's playing chess. So he goes, he's banging all these Oxford chicks. He's going to...

Pathfinder school, he ends up graduating top of his class and he assembles this dream team because they put him in charge again.

He's getting paid as an E8. No, he's an acting E8 getting paid as an E2. That was another part of the story. That's bullshit. Paratroopers in World War II, because he was 101st, they all got bumped up to PFC after 30 days of training just to try to get these guys money because they're jumping into fucking Normandy. He was such a fuck-up. He was the only guy that they kept at E2 the entire time.

So he goes, he gets his Pathfinder certification. He thinks the war's over. And then there's like, oh, shit, Battle of the Bulge happens. And the 101st is surrounded by a bunch of Nazis and they need Pathfinders to jump in and call in supply drops. And they send in him and his team and they end up getting all these supplies drops sent in. It was like it was a shit ton of supply drops they called in and ended up like being a huge part of why the Battle of the Bulge happened.

Got one, saved the 101st Airborne, his unit that was trying to get him killed. And then he did one more jump in, not Prague, it's a name like that. One more combat jump. He did four combat jumps in World War II. And then he ends up with his unit going and taking over, fuck, not Rommel. Who's the other head Nazi guy? Oh, yeah.

It's like the right-hand man. No, I know who you're talking about. The political version. Heinrich Himmler. Heinrich Himmler. They end up going to Heinrich Himmler's fucking castle where all the art and shit got taken. Apparently, Heinrich Himmler was a huge fan of horses, right? So he had all the thoroughbred, the top racing horses from every fucking country the Nazis had taken over and had them sent to his castle. Now the 101st guys are just getting fucking hammered

hammered riding them around town just doing dumb shit god bless america this has to fall over okay yeah hundred and first is fucking sitting there dicking off of you know fancy art ancient fucking wine from the bottoms of castles and shit just get hammered riding million dollar horses and they're like fuck it let's go into town and put on a rodeo for all the germans so that's what they did they're putting on a rodeo with all these fucking horses

Nobody knows what the fuck they're doing. Like a couple of horses, they died. I didn't put that in my video because that was mean. But like they're riding some of these fucking horses to death and all kinds of dumb shit. So then he is. I love just for reference. Evan just told the story last week's episode about when they were taking the Saddam Hussein's kids. Was it Hussein? Yeah.

They were going to those castles and taking those, and then they'd get to it, and they'd be like, oh, yeah, they got Formula One cars and frogs. You want to go rip in them? They would just be ripping. The SF guys would be just ripping around in Formula One cars and bagged out. I'm like...

It's exactly the same thing. Nothing changes. So at the rodeo, he meets this girl. I think her name was Emma. I forget her last name. But he meets this girl. They end up hooking up and dating for the rest of the time he's in country. Well, this girl is the daughter of the Hitler for Youth chapter of that town. Basically, literally found the closest thing he could to a Nazi princess and fucks her the rest of the time he's in Germany. This guy's bad in a thousand. Then he goes back home and fucking becomes a mailman and just...

fucking retires. See, how do you become a mailman? Obviously, he probably did it to keep his federal retirement, I'm assuming. No. So when he first came back, because he was such a huge fuck-up, part of his ear got blown off in one of his missions, and they sent him to get plastic surgery. Apparently, it was hanging, so they wanted to get it reattached. And they sent him to some base stateside after the war.

And he showed up to the base and he had an issue with the MPs. And he told the head MP on the base that he was going to kick his fucking ass. And that guy said, you know, whatever, get your treatment, leave. Don't ever come back. If I see you, we're going to have a problem. And he's like, no, you're going to have a problem because if I ever come back to this shithole town, I'm going to be a civilian and I'm going to beat the fuck out of you. And they chaptered him out right there on the spot, kicked him out. And then he like,

He tried to go and be a smoke jumper, a wildlife firefighter pair where they jump out of the fucking planes. And they're like, now you're 25. You're too old. He's like, dude, I got four fucking combat jumps in World War Two. They're like, nah, not interested. So he worked construction for a little while, had alcohol problems, got over those, then became a mailman. It's like it's a reoccurring thing.

I mean, I just feel like the perfect end of that story would be he becomes a mailman, and then he goes postal. Ooh. God damn it. He's the one with the dad joke. All the stories bleed into themselves. Well, it's crazy he's getting hit up post, and it was people were like, holy shit, that was my mailman. I did not realize. That was cool shit. I was getting emails and comments. There's comments in that video like, oh.

Mr. McNeese was my mailman my entire childhood. I had no idea that my mailman was like this fucking badass. That's crazy. That's fucking wild. I mean, there's a serious thing about this, though, which is that type of person is just not tolerated in the military anymore. And I think there's a real problem with that. I don't think they ever are, though.

Like, I don't think they ever are until like shit hits the fan and they're like, okay, well now we're going to loosen up restrictions and allow it until we get shit under control. And then we're going to kick everybody out. You're right. When I came in in 2009, granted, this is after your time and your time and maybe your time. I don't know. It's fucking Nick's young.

Yeah. Y'all are young bucks. It sucks. I had a nine year PFC. This guy named, uh, Holy shatter. I think was his name. We called him big bird. He was like six foot a thousand fucking, but he's a really good mechanic. And like, he just didn't give a fuck about the rules. And he would like get drunk at work. Really, really, really good at his job. So like they never kicked him out, but he'd had like seven article 15s and he was a nine year PFC. And the dude just like work his ass off and then just, yeah,

In like 1730, they'd be like, we need this done. He was like, go fuck yourself. And he'd just roll out. Like this dude was just a legend. I love Saturn, man. Great people. But just like you said, they're not really, even now, they're not accepted and really haven't ever been accepted because they're just on the fringe.

I can't imagine being a decade in a job and you're like, clearing $1,800 this month. Popping those knuckles like, bro. On the positive side, I make so few dollars that I don't pay any taxes. I'm winning, actually. I'm making under $24,000 a year or whatever the number is. Holy shit. So yeah, that's what I do. I just dig up history. Dude, that's awesome. And he's so good. I was here for it. I was just like,

Well, I mean, what I work in right now literally is storytelling, and you are a great storyteller. But what you said, I think, is very important, which is taking information that's out there and maybe no one really, it's not common knowledge, and then turning it into something entertaining enough, as you stated, that is also teaching people. And I don't think there's enough people doing that

Like film. Film used to do that. And now it's just like freaking... Now they fuck up Napoleon. Now we're just changing the direction of a torpedo on ice. Was that fucked up? I haven't heard anything about the new Napoleon. I'm so fucking mad about that movie. I read the reviews. I haven't seen it yet. It's the worst movie I've seen in my life. Damn. So I think there's a couple directors that have Final Cut now. And then you see the side effect when no one tells you no.

That's what I've said. I mean, that's what it has to be. I appreciate it. And you've seen that side. Ridley Scott is an amazing director, without a doubt. But it's a... Executives. You need feedback from everyone to keep it tight storytelling. Kind of like what you said, like nobody tells them no. I think directors think that like...

Their version or like I feel like they think they're the main course meal and it's like no you're you're seasoning like you need to make it taste good but like the story needs to be its own fucking thing and they're like no this is my artistic interpretation of reality it's like no well that a that's dog shit because I can tell you didn't read the fucking book at all and like the entire fucking Napoleon movie dude they show like two battles there it literally it's like hey the French Revolution happened fast forward 10 years and

Napoleon's into some weird sex shit. This one battle happened. Napoleon's back into some weird sex shit. His wife cheats on him. They like 80% of the movies about Napoleon's sex life and 5% of it's about war.

Which is he's known for as his... I mean, he was at war a lot more than he was getting fucking... Like Napoleon's battles, if you haven't read those, that's like his first claim to fame is when it was that rebellion. It was like 10,000 or 2,000. He had like 200 dudes. Yeah, he's a genius. Lost zero people, literally zero people and killed 2,000 or 3,000 people. It's fucking ridiculous. And they're like, yo, this dude...

What the fuck? Because he switched battle tactics. That was his thing. It was not traditional battle tactics. And he knew how to ambush. And he knew how to capitalize on that. So he'd get word of what's going on, like a rebellion. And he'd just fucking lay watch.

Like I was looking into, what was it? Genghis Khan, right? In almost every battle he fought, he was outnumbered in almost every single one. But like the way he would use his troops, like his archers would ride forward on horses. Of course, I'm paraphrasing here. And as they got to the front of the line, they would notch and fire their arrow and then turn back and then they would just notch again. And it was like a constant just hail of arrows from the front of his formation. I was like, that's fucking wild. Like you made automatic arrow guns in, what was that? 1300s, 1200s or something like that? Yeah, I do, didn't I?

No. On my list of favorite warlords. I'm pretty sure this is Napoleon. Obviously, you've forgotten more about this than I know. But wasn't it Napoleon who made, maybe not made up the concept, but really reinforced the concept of awards, valorous awards?

That I have no idea. That's what I was... What surprised me? I know... Dude, I fucking... I'm American historian, okay? 1775 and later. That's fair. I think it's that... I think... Again, it's been a while, but I think the quote was...

something to the effect of obviously translated from French, but it was like, it's amazing what soldiers will do for a piece of metal on their chest. But I know like his men fucking loved him. Like that's one thing they did get right in the movie is like,

Hit the French military. Love Napoleon as a leader. So like it was on the front line. It wouldn't surprise me if that was. Yeah. At Sierra, I discovered top workout gear at incredible prices, which might lead to another discovery. Your headphones haven't been connected this whole time. Awkward.

Discover top brands at unexpectedly low prices. Sierra, let's get moving. That's why any great leader, it's always like, yeah, these dudes were at the front line. You're right. It would make sense that he developed that system to reward his troops. Because, I mean, the dude got exiled and literally just showed back up, and they sent the military to stop him, and they're like...

Now we're just going to join him. Yeah. Like straight up. The guy just, he's, he's really, he just doesn't listen to reason. It's just easier for us all to join. Wasn't he the one quoted saying like, uh, like winners study logistics and losers study like battle or something like that or something. He brought up like logistics was a huge part of battle. Wasn't that Napoleon?

That one, I don't know. It makes a lot of sense. I think that was Schwarzkopf. Bro, Schwarzkopf is a shit. He's my favorite. It's the best military mind ever. That's my take. I'm going to have to learn more about him because I know fucking Jack. Yeah, he's that good. I said it as a joke. Yeah.

I knew I knew enough to say it is America's logistics infrastructure is just like have you ever I saw we've had to like have our finger on the ring me starting again Did I just Schwarzkopf trigger him you might oh yeah shit, but like for us in air defense we have to have pretty much our finger on the pulse of Logistics and we when we need something. It's like a strategic asset like it's it's

They will move the sun and earth to get you what you need. And I shit you not, there's been a one single circuit card. A single weighs like five pounds. Costs a million dollars, by the way. That's how much a circuit card costs. And they chartered an entire C-17 from the United States to where I was at in an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia. Honestly, you can go on vacation there. It's not a cool guy place. But we just have to say that for political reasons. And...

28,000 gallons of fuel in a C-17 to bring us one card. And they did it like that. That's the military. Get everyone on board. You want insurance? No. Oh my God. Do you want the best sleep in the world? Well, I can tell you the greatest bed and

Card for the military? Done. You want an entrance and get out? Fucking Berlin Airlift? Do you know about this? Very little. Oh, God. Okay, so right after World War II, right, Soviets still like allies, right? But Germany gets split up into four separate quadrants. America, French, Britain, and the USSR all own a chunk of Germany, right?

And then Berlin, the capital of Germany, also same thing. Everybody owns a chunk. But Berlin is 100 miles into USSR territory. Does that make sense? Yeah. Okay. So America pisses off the USSR, vice versa, whatever. Basically, capitalism is winning and communism is getting fucking butthurt about it. As usual. So communism is like, you know what? No, we're going to blockade off West Berlin.

So they block it off so that we can't get anything in. They cut off all the roads, all the railroads, all the waterways, everything. And at that point, they go to Truman and they're like, okay, three options. We can roll in tanks and start World War III. We can abandon West Berlin and let them either starve to death or join communism. Or we can try to fly shit in on cargo planes. And he's like, quote, we stay in Berlin, period.

And America, this isn't a real quote, but basically like America doesn't start world wars. We just finish them. So we're fucking flying shit in on planes. Right? So they have no idea how to do this. So they go to the British cause they've been experts in rationing for the last 10 years fighting world war two, the British run the numbers and they're like, you need every, everybody in West Berlin is going to need 1700 calories a day, which is going to be 1500 tons of food per day. And then, um,

The Germans or the sorry the USSR cut off the power to West Berlin too. So they're gonna need coal and fuel That's gonna be 2,500 tons per day, right? So you're at 4,500 tons of supplies a day through cargo plane and this time they had the p-47 which can carry three tons like this is impossible so I would like to make that work that's 1,333 planes per day. There's 1,440 minutes in a day

Like it's impossible, right? So they just start doing it. It's complete fucking chaos. They're sending planes from everywhere. There's fucking mid-air collisions as they're trying to get planes into this fucking country for food or into West Berlin for food. And then they bring in General William Tunner. And this was a guy in World War II that was in charge of logistics for bringing in all the supplies into China over the Himalayas. And he comes in and unfucks the whole situation in like –

With seven Sherpas.

Anyways, America, there's three air channels into Berlin. He's like, okay, two of them on the outside are going in. The one in the middle's plane's coming out. We're going to launch one plane from the two going there every three minutes. They're all going to fly at five altitudes, and they're going to stagger every way. So it's plane, plane, plane, plane, plane, plane, plane, plane, plane, plane, plane. All day long, three minutes, new fucking plane in the air. All day, every day.

Every day, 24 hours a fucking day. The West Berliners are like dope. They get it down to where they can empty three tons off a plane in seven minutes and turn that bitch around and send it back. Luftwaffe mechanics that were just fighting America two years ago are they're repairing American cargo planes to send them back. And America does it. We end up developing fucking bigger planes. We end up developing the, uh,

P-74 Globemaster, which can carry 25 tons. So we end up fucking delivering, I think the record was 1,300 flights delivering 13,000 tons in a single day. Over the course of 15 months, America had 277,000 planes get sent up, spanning 92 million miles, delivering 4.6 billion pounds of supplies all by air.

And the Soviet Union finally had to ditch the blockade because America put an embargo on their country. And their economy couldn't stand up to the embargo anymore. And they just couldn't wait it out. So they had to ditch that. And this is like why the Berlin Wall ended up happening is because they couldn't get West Berlin to crack because America could land a plane in Berlin literally every fucking minute all day, every day. And we did it for 15 months.

And it is the biggest logistical flex of all time. Oh, man. That is terrifying to me. It's awesome to see the power when America's like,

- No. But also, yeah, exactly, when we say no, you're like, what the fuck? - This is the thing though, so I got sent to Operation Afghan Welcome, which is, okay, Afghanistan was kind of a shit show, there's some things that could've gone better, I'll agree there, but on the logistics side of the house, name another country on this planet that can move 130,000 people, 3,000 miles in a week. You're not gonna find one. Everyone else can flex as much as they want, no one has the logistics infrastructure to try and move that.

It's terrifying. Yeah, but college isn't free. God damn it. With all that amazing stuff, my flight to get here... You know what I mean? It's like...

how can we do that? Yeah, it's like crazy. But you see this all the time with like certain... World War II is just a great example of these just unbelievable feats. And then you look at how certain things have run today and you're like, how did we lose that? It's like we're the ancient Egypt of ourselves. You know what I mean? What the fuck happened 80 years ago? You know what I mean? You're like, we didn't figure that out? You guys... Did you throw away the book on it? You know what I mean? Like...

But all this stuff, you're just like, how did we lose that ability? Because there's just so many astounding feats of not just logistics, but just amazing shit. But it's the same thing, though, that we're talking about with those troops aren't tolerated today. It's like literally whenever the government has time to get in and fuck it up, they fuck it up. So Schwarzkopf we were talking about, right?

Um, like he served in Vietnam and he almost got out after Vietnam as like a Lieutenant Colonel because he blamed politicians for, you know, losing Vietnam or whatever, which I'll argue. How about I become one of those? Yeah. So, um, but like, that's a big part of why desert storm was so fast and so violent. It's like basically Schwarzkopf didn't want to give politicians time to fuck it up.

By the time politicians could mentally comprehend what was happening, it was over. And we watched that feat of how fast it was like, we're Kuwait, and now we destroy the entire Iraqi army in three days. I think combat was only like...

It was short. The air battle. The air battle, like they had completely dismantled Iraqi air defenses, which was the most heavily fortified air defended country on the planet. This is the third, just for reference, this is the third most powerful military or fourth in the world at that time. Fourth. Number one in that hemisphere. Which is...

insanity. Wasn't it the same? It was either Desert Storm. I want to say it was Desert Storm before 2003 when the F-16, there was an F-16 pilot, boss of a fucking dude, evaded six surface-to-air missiles and zero countermeasures were used because they weren't functioning on his plane. He thought he was using them, but he was just wild weaseling. He was the greased-up deaf guy in the sky, man. He's never going to get me. He's never going to get me.

It's like the real Maverick. Bro, they couldn't fucking touch him. And yeah, like the F-16, it's a... So the crazy thing about the F-16, and I'm sure you've done your homework on this, is it's actually designed to be unstable. Like they built this thing, like we want it to not fly straight. It has computers that constantly do micro adjustments to keep it level as it goes through the air because or else it'll crash.

Like the F-16 has programmed Tourette's. Like it's intentionally vibrating in the air. So you can't fucking hit it. Just imagine that in your first flight. You're like, hey, it's acting kind of weird. It's just this shaky pulling thing. It's supposed to do that. Yeah, we made that on purpose. If it stops doing that, worry. We've got a problem here. No, that's a feature, homie.

But why? I want my, like, just straight. No. No, we don't do that here. If it's stable, call us immediately. Report that. They come, they hit the weak. You need to land immediately. There's better. If it's super stable, you might want to eject. Yeah. I love arguing with anti-America people in the comments section. Oh, my God. Fucking, buh.

F-16's not even that good of a plane. Fucking bull. It's like, really? Is that why every time America says they're going to sell some to other countries, every communist on the planet goes, fuck! Yeah, it must be a really bad plane. Bro, I run into that with fucking air defense, man. The trolls in the comment section fucking, well, yes, 400 can see 400 kilometers. Like, cool, and it's getting fucking bodied by cardboard drones, but how's that Patriot system doing over there, motherfucker? Like, shut up!

You know, there's an interesting point with this, with what you're guys saying, and I see it happen all the time, is what makes our...

war machine, what it is, isn't the gear. It's the people and the systems that have been developed to utilize it. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? I know you guys know this, but it's like, it doesn't matter. All the gear, the specifics, yeah, it's cool, and certain things are better than others, but it's like what I always tell people when it comes to shooting or whatever. Gear is the least important, as you guys all know, of the different things that make it important. Mindset, strategy, all those things, and we have such a

system in place of supporting coordinating air and ground at like all those systems that we built over all the previous wars experience that's something that the other countries just don't have even if they had our gear they don't have those systems and the people that have experience with those systems yeah every every near peer is worried about like the just the raw stats like

They only care about outperforming the Ross. I just want a plane that can outperform the F-22. I don't need the entire network supporting it behind. That's what they don't think about is everything else. We've been doing well. America, out of our 200, 300 years, I did the math. I think it was 18 years. 18 years, we have not done more. Out of 300 years.

We have not, or almost, yeah, close. Yeah. We have not done war. And this is statistical. Like, this is numbers. We have not done war for 18 years. Out of almost 300 years, 18 is like, we're doing peace now. And it's immediately like, we gotta fucking kick ass. Have you seen the

- Stock price? War? Who's pissing us off? Go! Our economy's crashing. World War III. - I'm telling you, we are 50-- - This video brought to you by Raytheon. - Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, your sponsors today. - We're 50 war tribes in a trench coat with a defense budget big enough to fight God. That's the best way to look at us. Like we're just-- - So this is a true story. I'll never forget this.

Yeah, it was Ranger Battalion at the time. This is early Afghanistan, 02. It was in Kandahar. And I was with a, you know, it's a little rocky. People are nice. Great vacation area. Yeah, it is. So the, and I was with a, what are they called? The paras. So the paras, I'm sure you guys know, but if you don't know, the paras are like kind of the Ranger Battalion equivalent of the British military. Yeah.

for lack of a better term. - See, no, I've never worked with those guys. I work with Afghan National Civil Ordinance Police and they smoked a whole lot of weed. - Oh no, these are British. British Paris. Yeah, they don't smoke, they just drink a lot. - Lucky bastards. - Yeah, and then, no, we actually hung out with them, the first time we hung out with them, they all got drunk and then just started beating the shit out of each other.

And we're like, British people are fucking. My first time hanging out with the SAS over there, we had a mission that was just real quick. It was like, hey, we got to track this dude with the tracker. We have their phone. We got to track it. And I remember I was like, man, this guy has like long hair. And so this is like, I want to go drink in my tent. I was like, we're in war. I was like, what? We got war shit to do, dude. Yeah. Yeah. That's a whole another story. I had a British cross training guy like break somebody's rib dicking around.

It was like training. It was like, it was infantry. Like I was a medic out with infantry, whatever. There's some British infantry, a humongous black dude. And he's like, Hey, did you want to show us how you guys like, you know, check after, you know, you think somebody's dead, make sure they're dead. Like there's not a grenade under him or whatever. He's like, Oh, okay. Yeah, sure. I leave them alone. Have some fucking private walk, like lay down, pretend to be dead. He's like, first thing I walk up, I give him the good news. This dude kicks this private directly in the fucking nuts. Actually does it private. Oh,

And he goes, oh, God, he's alive. And fucking body slams him. And this private had baby powder in his mag pouch. And the baby powder explodes all over his face. Oh, my God. That's sad. That poor private. He just kicked his ass. Oh, my God.

So you're sorry. So, um, no, that's what we're here for. The funny story is this. No, the, to that point, I was with, uh, a para, a couple of pairs and they didn't have nods. Well, most countries don't. The only people at that time in the entire British military that had nods were the SAS. Well, and the SBS, that's it. And like at that time, like our support engineers had nods, you know, you know what I mean? Like, and I just remember seeing that and going,

Wow. Like, okay, that's a huge budgetary difference. Bro, the Taliban had nods when I got there in 2010. Like, we found, like, bags of them that they bought off of eBay or some shit, and that's wild. What year was this? That was 2002. That was the very beginning of Afghanistan. Wait, were you there when, what was it, Operation Anaconda went down? No, so we got there right, literally...

I think 10 days. So we got there right after Roberts Ridge. Roberts Ridge was at the tail end of Anaconda. That was 1st Ranger Battalion. We got there and switched out with, oh, which reminds me of a good story. But, well, you'll see why.

We switch out with first range of time after Roberts Ridge, after Anaconda. And then Anaconda pushed all of them to the Paki border. So that's when we pushed and started building the outstations on the Paki border. You were like there, man. That was the wild west. You guys familiar with Anaconda? When I showed up, it was like Vietnam, dude. I would love, like your stories are going to be so, this is one of my favorite parts of it is,

how different military stories can get between and i know your story is like mine i think mine are like downplay homes like yeah i just got a gunfight every day no big deal and then i hear other people like what and then i like your stories i'm like what the fuck it's it's all relative to like you know your story is always boring to you oh yeah you know what i mean it's like blah blah blah like the only actually okay that's not true the one thing that was not boring to me was flugia

Like that was bananas. What unit were you with at that time? I was with the unit. No, I was with the unit. We were kind of attached to Marines, long story. But...

We were like, dude. I love how you're like redacting stuff right now. You're like, so I was. Well, it's like complicated. I mean, again, it's nothing cool. It's just complicated to explain it. But basically, dude, I mean, I remember showing up. Everyone thinks this is cool as fuck here. Yeah. This guy thinks it's cool. He thinks it's cool. I also think it's cool. I actually think. I'm just hanging out right here. No, I actually think Fallujah was cool. Like, I remember showing up to Fallujah.

Well, actually, this wasn't showing up to Flusia, but it was the first time we went to the city. And at the time, the Marines had it surrounded, literally. And I remember going to like this little base on like the corner of Flusia. And I remember driving in and getting out of the vehicle and just seeing the Mark 19 gunner like launch probably a whole can. And I was just like, so that's how it is here. Like.

Okay, you know what I mean? Dude, Colin. No, we were calling. Mark 19 is a fully automatic grenade launcher. It's not like a full cannon. How many rounds? It's like 50 or 100. No, it's 32. He would know. I'm not going to question it. Literally at that time, you couldn't even have a grenade launcher mounted on a vehicle in Baghdad. Like you couldn't even mount one.

because they didn't want them to have ammo or whatever. But there, they were just launching it. And then we were calling freaking F-18s in the freaking... Spectre, every night, would freaking literally be hot if they saw anything moving. So they would just fly overhead. We'd watch them, and they'd be like...

I love the sound effects. The sound is so loud. It like kind of drowns out, you know? So it's like loud and then it's kind of quiet, but yeah, that's true.

But the, dude, freaking tanks were shooting minarets. Freaking cobras were coming in and just launching missiles. It was like World War II. Completely different war space. But for a person that was so into World War II, I was like, this is amazing. It's fucking wild. It was. And it was the first time that I had seen something

an open war. Yeah. You know what I mean? Where just like it, the rules of engagement at that time is if you saw somebody in Fallujah, you could shoot them. Literally saw someone. That's, that's like a, that's like a wet dream to everybody who was in G wad. Like it has a uniform, kill it. Like that's just, well, we got, so it was like for mine, I went from a, they have to be like shooting at you to engage to, Hey, now here's the new ROE where we're,

When we were going to Moctadillo, it was like, hey, if they look shady, fucking shoot them. I was like, that's a change. We're going to a very bad area. And then we drove to that area. Define shady. Exactly. It's like, uh-huh. So it's one of those crazy things. I was like, holy shit. That guy's in the shadow. Shoot him. Whoa. When you were talking about the Spectre, though, have you guys heard about what happened recently with the Spectre gunship? Uh-uh. So...

God bless America, right? So obviously fucking we're going to make up a name of a country. Iran. I think that's a turdistan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, turdistan. And so they've been pumping all these money into these terrorist groups. These terrorist groups got a hold of some missiles and they decided they were going to fuck with American forces in Iraq. I can't remember the name of the damn base.

But they fired a ballistic missile in. What they didn't realize is there was a Spectre gunship hanging out that watched it come in and went to where it came from and then watched the guys go back to their house and then leveled the fucking building. But this is the best part. The entire time it was doing this fire mission, it had its ADS-B on, which means civilian air traffic controllers could see this thing doing its gun run the entire time. The whole world saw this Spectre just fuck them up.

This happened like a week ago. It was great. So I was going to say the, what was the thing I started with? Spectre? No, what was it? Oh, so getting their second bat or getting there in Afghanistan. And this is an interest. I feel this. No, I've never heard. We're all locked in on you. This is very interesting to everyone. This is not combat, what I'm about to say, but it's, I find. War crimes. I love those. Like the maroon. Read the shirt. Read the shirt.

Never a war crime the first time. You know what I always say about the Geneva Convention? I wasn't there. Well, America didn't sign up. I didn't sign up. What are you talking about? I wasn't there. I didn't sign that. Whatever. I don't even know who she is. When we went to Afghanistan, like I said, Third Bat was already there, did the jump off the... This is a critical part. The first stuff in Afghanistan was all based off the Kitty Hawk.

as you know much better than me. Holy shit. My brother was on the Kitty Hawk. That's the only reason. The entire initial part of Afghanistan was staged off the Kitty Hawk. No shit. Yes. Pause. The jump in and everything. It's a carrier. It was the last diesel carrier burned through 250,000 gallons with a diesel. It was a very famous carrier. I would say like probably one of the most well-known. I think it was like Enterprise.

Kitty Hawk, probably. I think the Kitty Hawk, if I'm not mistaken, I could be wrong here. Someone in the Navy will correct me. I think the Kitty Hawk was the last carrier that carried the F-14 Tomcat. If you want to see autism at a table, this is autism. Like, oh, the Kitty Hawk. Oh, this is weaponized autism. Hey, man, it's a spectrum. It's a spectrum, all right? You're doing autism touches? If I'm not mistaken, the Kitty Hawk was retrofitted to house soft forces, if I'm not mistaken.

I have to look that up, but I think it was. But anyway, so that was the initial thing. After that, there was this island called Misera Island off the coast of Oman. And that is where Afghanistan started its initial staging after the Kitty Hawk. So this is what's crazy. It was this small island off of Oman, and you get there, and it's...

It's like this beautiful island. We called it Paradise Island. So there you've got all the logistics troops. They've got like Midnight Chow. It's where all of the air crews are based. And combat troops there are going, spending a week to get acclimated and then pushing to Afghanistan. So it's like you've got this weird...

Okay. So this was a different staging area than Kuwait. Cause we did like Kuwait and then push into Iraq. Yeah. So that was, that was, no, no, this is Afghanistan. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. So this is basically Afghanistan. This is the Kuwait of Afghanistan for lack of a better term. So Kyrgyzstan wasn't stood up yet. I'm assuming. But now it's Kyrgyzstan. Uh,

it might've been at the same time as well. I know for this initial part, like most of this stuff was based out of this, uh, this Island. Uh, but I'm sure there was multiple. There wasn't enough logistic support close to it. You can't stand to surface at all. I'm sure. Okay. But, um, but anyway, so it was just this weird thing and we show up and we've been so excited to go to war. Like we're all so excited. First bat just 10. This is crazy. First bat just had, um,

So basically, from what I was told, they were there for whatever it was, three or four months, literally sitting at the airbase on QRF, which is the most shit job you can have. Literally, it's there waiting. You're doing nothing, and then they say go, and you have to spin up, and you're flying into, you have no idea what. It's like the worst job ever. QRF. QRF. So basically, and then, sorry, Roberts Ridge was,

a QRF job for first bat. So you had, uh, the, the seal helicopter issue. Forget the guy's name. Uh, you're talking about, uh, Chapman? No, no. The Chapman was, uh, in, in, uh,

No, Neil Roberts. So Neil Roberts falls out of the helicopter, gets hit or whatever, and then they send first back QRF in. So they do like nothing, again, from what they told me. They were doing nothing for months, and then they do one operation, and they lose like, I forget, like 10 dudes. I think the total loss was like 16, but first bat itself lost like 8 or 10 guys. So it was this really bad situation.

scenario so it was i'll never forget it because we're going in there bright-eyed and bushy-tailed everyone's got a high and a tight freaking you know no facial hair whatever first bat looks like they're zombies they're all got long hair they got facial hair they're tanned like freaking you know which just for reference like for ranger bat at that time if i at that time yeah when you see like a dish disheveled

People in bat, that's like a no-go a lot of times. So that was probably like a big surprise to you. Like, what the fuck? Why are these guys so disheveled? Yeah, well, just seeing rangers with long hair at that time and facial, you know. Because that's a big no. Like, ranger bat is like that extra, hey, you hold the standards. Perfectly standards. You do exactly what they say. And so it was crazy. But the biggest thing with them is you could just see them.

They were just over it. You know what? I'll tell you what it was. Cause again, I, I'm, I love world war two history, but I don't know it remotely as good as you, but it's like all those scenes where you got the new troops heading to the front line and you got the troops that have just been wrecked on the front line heading back. And these guys are all bright and bushy tails. And these guys are like,

Fucking have fun, dickhead. You know, that whole kind of like, you know, you're going to hate it like I do in three months. And it was just crazy. And then at the island, though, here's cherry. So imagine that happening on the island while they're also tracing like I think it was 32 cases of chlamydia to one person in the chow hall.

who was a very enterprising young lady that basically was like... Business is booming. I think I can make a lot of money here. This Aussie cost $500 a flight. So you got this huge, like all these people coming together. And then like I'd walk by to my tent or whatever, and you'd walk by the freaking Spectre crew. And I'll never forget, they had this huge cardboard, it was very well done art of like...

400 like stick figures, like eight tanks, like 17 AA things. And just, you're like walking in the Specter crews are just wrecking shit. And they've got like this kill board and you're like, wow, that's amazing. And while you look at their kill board, you look to the right and they're there tanning.

In the daytime, and then just going out at night and wrecking shit. I'm telling you. And I'm like, where did I go wrong? You know what I mean? Airmen, I really screwed up. Airmen love fucking... Everyone who joins the military is like, oh, Marines love to kill people, right? Or unalive people. We'll say that word here, right? But anyone who's ever been to an airbase and had access to that drive, you know what drive I'm talking about. We're not going to get into it too much. They are organized...

Terabytes of nose cam video and gun video and fucking gun run videos. They're organized by the number of kills. They're organized by the date. They're organized by geography. Terabytes of video. Airmen and Air Force pilots love to unalive people. I'm going to add one group of Air Force people to that list. Who's that? CCT.

I'm not sure. I'm not familiar with CCT. CCT are the combat controllers of the special tactics. Oh, the dude you call and stuff, right? Yeah, dude. And they're like, I've never seen the amount of savagery of just wrecking shit. They love doing it. All right, so I'll tell you a cool story. All right, I'm here for it. Yeah, let's do it. Because I mentioned CCT.

can we can we explain what a cct is real quick just so like yeah like just to understand the level of like shit this particular individual so like they're always they're air force yeah they're attached to other special forces units so they're they go out with navy seals armies delta whatever like they just air force is like here's one guy and that guy is basically the um

Interface the interface the Intermediate he's the diplomat. He's just dragging and dropping like fire. No, he's literally the diplomat between like the grunts on the ground and The largest military budget on the fucking planet. It's pretty much

And he's, I believe every CCT has to be licensed as a civilian air traffic controller because they're allowed to call in that many fucking planes at the same time that they're also the air traffic controller for the planes. Yeah.

is how much shit this one dude can call in. Well, like when he was talking about Anaconda, right? So Operation Anaconda, just a quick reference here. I don't know a lot of it. I graded a lot of essays on it. So, okay, I know a little things. But during the peak of Operation Anaconda, which so Northern Alliance was supposed to encircle, 10th Mountain was supposed to go through and fucking wipe them out. Cool. Northern Alliance fucking bitched out day one, ran off.

They're like, this is dangerous. I don't want to be here. And they ran away. So now America surrounded, right? Target rich environment. That's the way we look at things. So then they start calling for everything under the sun and it took them a little while to get there. But once it got there for 10 days straight, they had over 200 combat missions a day.

thrown into the Shikot Valley supporting the Tenth Mountain. So, like, at first it was support these guys, and then it was, all right, we want you to hit them in the hills so they come towards us. So now they can choose to either die under a bomb or die from us. Like, that's what they get to do. Anaconda was fucking savage. That is so fucking gangster. It's so weird that our government gave people options. LAUGHTER

I don't get it. I don't get it. Jesus Christ. Sorry, continue. The key is we must give them the illusion of free will. Yes. That's the secret. Which one do you want to die under? Oh, okay. Well, this one sounds way fucking bad. This one sounds very diplomatic. Weird. So we're...

I'm now having to reject myself. So I'm driving from Fallujah to Baghdad in basically Iraqi cars. A Toyota Hilux. It was actually an Alfa Romeo, which I fucking had that thing going. So we're in an unarmored, unmarked supercar. Were you covered? Did you do fucking... Yeah, we were in... Evan did this. Evan was like, we were dressed like...

- Terrorists? - Yeah. - He's there with the edge and he corrected himself? - Hold on. - I'm like, Evan, I love you so much. - You can say that though. It's somebody who has completed their pilgrimage to Mecca. We'll go with that. - I know the first time I heard that word, I was like, this is like a lot of other words we used in the past. It's really gonna be against the rules.

Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. Yeah, you know, you know. You're like, we're using it now? I don't think we're going to be using it later. Yeah, I was like, during that time, I was like, I don't think we should call that. We shouldn't say that word. Well, but at the same time, it just goes to show you, too, how just little, what's the word? They

They have to desensitize you. No, but environmental, cultural. How little cultural knowledge they give you just for reference. You know what I mean? Like, there's so many things. I'm like, I wish I would have known that. It would have helped a lot. But so anyways, we're in the car. We leave. And we're just like, dude, this is not... And it was not a good time to drive. Like, this was crazy dangerous. And...

You know, we have no, we don't have Humvees. We don't have tanks. We have nothing. We're literally just ourselves in an Alfa Romeo. And war. And, oh yeah, well, not this time. Dude, we'd be driving and there'd be like IDs going off and freaking, I remember one time, I don't even know where it came from, but a bomb went off and I was like,

who dropped that? You know what I mean? Like that wasn't an IED. That was a bomb. He's like, yeah, fuck. I don't know. But anyways, he's like, I got you, bro. And this is the CT guy, CCT guy. He's like, I got you from the backseat. I was like, all right. So we're going and about 30 seconds goes by. And I start like feeling this rumble, like straight up Jurassic park shit. Right. I'm like, that's weird. And these two F-16s,

I'm pretty sure there were 16s, not 18s. They come down the freeway buzzing everything and just... You know that thing? Show. Show.

Yeah. And he says, that's ours. So he had us being escorted by two F-16s. You know what I mean? Well, I certainly hope it's ours. I don't think the Taliban got a hold of us. No, no, no. If not, we're fucked. No, he meant that like they're going to escort, you know, those are ours. Like I have control over them. They're going to be with us the whole way. And I was like, dude, dude.

I was like, that's cool. It's a good show of force. When at F-16, we had one or whatever, the same thing. They did a show of force for us. We called up, and they were like, we were...

EOD had to show up for IED. We just did a firefight, blah, blah, blah. And they're like, oh, just throw a F-16 for a show of forces. And flew up. I was like, that was the most gangster thing I've ever seen. Bro, I had someone, talking about a show of force, I had someone like, it was in stream. They were like, well, you know, why doesn't America do those like, you know, those parades, like the military parades and all the dictators and shit do? I was like, because the parade would never end. Like, I was like, let me put this in perspective, right? We have 19...

18,000 Humvees. If five a minute went by, that's three and a half days of Humvees only. That's just Humvees. That's the most epic show of force. You ever heard the phrase from sea to shining sea? Fuck, man. We have so much shit. America doesn't show up for us. It's just literally a live stream for three hours or three days of Humvees.

Vehicle One has presented. - Tomorrow we're gonna try him instead of you. - Is it North Korea that did that parade where the dudes all had Barretts? - Oh, was that? - Have you seen that one? - No, I haven't seen that one. - Dude, literally, we'll look it up, but put the image on here. It's like-- - G-Van, you're right here, G-Van's actually here. - Guys, G-Van's here, our editor is here. - It's literally an entire rows and rows of dudes, and they all have freaking 50 cal Barretts.

Those are like 40 pounds a piece. Those dudes are pretty strong. Dude, I carried one of those. It weighs a million pounds. It's our editor, G. He's here. We're going to have an episode next week or next week-ish with him. They had Barretts? They were just carrying Barretts? Literally, Barretts on their chest. There's like hundreds of them. I don't know. I just remember seeing that and going like,

That's odd. Parades. That's some communist shit. Well, like, it's like the dudes who do the... You ever see the ones right before they invaded or attempted to invade Ukraine? They ran out of gas 50 miles in. But anyways, when Russia went before they invaded...

Logistics man. So like they were doing backflips and like throwing axes and I was like, that's cool. You're still going to get shot from 1200 yards away. Like I don't know what you want to hear old that looked like he was 40 that smoked three packs of marble reds a day named Schmitty. I'll take that dude versus a hundred of them. Yeah.

The OG brown

Yeah, you know Fuck but that's my question. Why are all Schmitt e's the same guy? Oh

You're him. It's like a template. Do we have enough of the Schmitty template? No, we better turn that guy off. It's the random generated NPC every time. Schmitty. And they're like, wait a minute, wait a minute. How are we doing on skis? Are we good on skis today? It's the same guy. Everyone is a skier. Turn it up. Turn it up. It's always the same guy. Always.

Someone named Ski that was like that to a... Like a fucking T-Ski. Alphabet, as we called you. Oh, my God. To a T. Always the same. It's just like a... It's like a... Assembly line of soldiers.

fucking Christ. You do meet doppelgangers everywhere you fucking go. I'm waiting for the one I run into of him. It'll probably be some PFC with a smoking habit who just doesn't give a fuck about the military. But you know, this is the thing. Every and watch, listen to this. You'll never find him because my doppelganger is the fucking head of the E4 mafia. Every good NCO knows how to leverage the mafia.

Every single fucking one of them. Every bad NCO tries to control the mafia. Every good one's like, look, I'm missing all this BII. You can go home as soon as I find it. You got to find me first. That shit will be there. Hold on. I know the mafia's hiding spots. They ain't all hidden. No, you don't. Just get me the mafia. Open the shower. That technique works. I had the laziest dude. Here's how lazy this guy was.

Spotswood. That's his name. Spotswood. Spotswood was so lazy. What did you have to wake up at? I mean, formation was like 6.30 at that time. He would literally wake up and pull from underneath his bed a little tray of water and his toothbrush so he could brush his teeth in bed. He was that guy. That's how lazy he was. This sounds like Private Eli.

I had my bed made and I slept in my sleeping bag so I didn't have to make my bed. I did the same thing. Boot blouses underneath to hold the bed tonk so you don't have to tuck shit in every morning. I made my bed once in basic training. 100% true. Same thing. I got yelled at by drills. When I saw that system, I'm like, why don't we just do it this way? It's like the Pacho liner, dude. Greatest thing ever made. Oh, God. It is.

But anyways, we just finally were like, dude, what are we supposed to do with this guy? And finally we figured out, hey, Spotswood, here's a list. When you do all these things, you're off. I don't care if it's noon. Dude, that guy would get off by like 11 noon every day. It was the most...

tactic ever. It's just how you deal with laziness. I'm telling you, you got to use that mafia. You got to leverage the mafia the right way. Leadership. You treat the mafia right. You obviously hold them accountable when you need to, but when shit, hey, my lieutenant's missing half of the BI for their Humvee. The sooner it shows up, the sooner y'all go home. You'll have extra shit. They're like, why do I have a breach operating handle for an Abrams main battle tank? Fuck it. It's yours now, ma'am.

Like, just leave the shit alone. I'm telling you, the mafia, if you know how to leverage the mafia, you can get shit done. I think this is to a striker. Roger Beaks on. Fuck it. It's mine now. Yep, yep. Bonus door. Look back. We're good to go. Habitual. What are you working on right now? You have been crushing content. I had a blast doing my Asian accent with you.

I love that you were the first person who was like, "Eh, fuck it."

I'm going to just do every accent and I'm not going to care. And no one's fucking, you treat it like South Park. You're like, fuck it, I'm going to just go full send. Because you're not knocking on any country specifically. You're just generalizing. Exactly. And I lucked out. Originally I was like, I'm not going to do these things. And someone commented, they're like, oh, you only do white countries accents. And I was like, okay, so we will talk like a Japanese guy now. I just throw it all out there. Yeah. It is...

I haven't done the L's to R's yet. One day. Yeah, I haven't done that yet. It's a very white table. I'm a

allowed to do this. Wait a minute. You're not white. No, there you go. Yeah. You're good for me. Uh, honestly, the, the wars that are kind of like popping across the world are, uh, are keeping me pretty occupied. Like there's always, I just like, I watch the news and then I'll see some of like, I can make fun of that. That's really all I do is just, I can make fun of you. And I mean, the politicians in Washington really help out a lot.

But I don't use their face. I just use Washington, D.C. to make the joke, and that's how I get away with it. That's what I love. You asked me on the last video, you were like, hey, can you do the Chinese people? I was like, yeah, totally, bro. Oh, yeah. I was like, here you go. Can you do Taiwan, too? I was like, yeah, I think so. And then it just...

It worked automatically. Oh, man. That was that video crush. And you know what's crazy is that so many people knew it was you. Which is ridiculous. They knew. You know my Asian accent to that degree. They're like, I thought that was Eli. And then I seen who was tagged. I was like, that's fucking weird. Bro, they knew immediately it was you.

God bless you all for that. I'm going to make him a battleship. Don't worry. We're going to make him a battleship. I'm going to be the USS Wisconsin. Oh, yeah. I got some ideas, some plans up in here. The big whiskey spelled W-I-S-K-Y. The proper way. The big... Like that's what it is. What piece of content are you working on right now? We're trying to do a range day and stuff like that. Yeah. You've been super helpful in everything. The first time you came out, it was an awesome experience watching your...

dude how fired up you got same for you like everyone when they come and hang out it's awesome watching the motivation and now your long form is fucking slow honestly i you helped me out a ton with that like you've just been super helpful with everything i've needed right i ask questions about this setting that setting but for right now so um i was really diving into the air defense systems and i feel like i've run into almost a finite amount of air defense systems so now i'm kind of

into. I did one recently and we're going to see how lists work out well for me. You know, top five, this top five, that. So that's, I don't have anything in the pipe right this second. I'm actually, my wife went before I got on the plane this morning. She's like, you need to think of your next long form. Cause I didn't have anything stuck in my brain yet. And she's like, you need to figure it out. Okay. So while I'm here, I'll get something. I'm not sure what, what yet though. We'll figure it out. It's a little bit.

this group. Everyone's just like motivating off of each other. Oh yeah. It is super motivating. What like Nick you came down the second you came down you were like I need to do long form and then immediately you. Yeah. Your first long form came out and you absolutely slayed it. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Now you're fucking growing at a stupid rate. When you have Cody and Brandon, and I'm going to quote this, Nick's going to be bigger than all of us. That is what they say every day.

I love the way he tells these stories, man. Like, that's why like I'm handing you the Ludendorff bridge. I'm handing you operation Anaconda. Like, I just want to give this shit to you because like, don't get me wrong. I'm a missile nerd. I like missiles. You want to learn about intercept dynamics and fucking radar ducting and shit like that. Yeah, I got you. No, not a problem. But like the way you tell how history happened, I fucking love that shit. Anaconda and Robert's Ridge. Obviously it's the industry I work on. The other interesting thing about him is there hasn't been movies made about them yet. No. That's bird.

Virgin content. Can I say virgin? No, that's the line. Talk about content. That content got fucked. Unfucked content. There we go. Thank you.

Unfucked content. Don't say virgin. You can't say other words synonymous with vagina, but we're going to use clunge because I heard that from a Scott and it's fucking hilarious. Clunge. That sounds so dirty, doesn't it? It does. It actually sounds worse than the other. Sounds like a boss level plunger.

What if we merge intent and go, hey, girl, you want to take the clunge? It's like a plunge.

You know, together. I'll work on it. I heard that from a Scottish person. I was like, I'm never forgetting this. My brain decided that was what I was going to remember. The entire UK area is so much more fucking advanced on cuss words than we are. It's like they take it to an art form. It's so beautiful. There's been times I've been yelled at and I'm like, I literally don't know what you said, but I'm offended. Be honest. Everybody thinks that like America is really racist, but like

That other hemisphere is so much better at being racist. They're classist. They did invent it. Every time I talk to somebody from that part of the world, I'm impressed. We copied it from them. We just looked at it and went...

Uh-huh. Apparently that's what we're supposed to do. Well, that's what I like about Australians. They have such a liberal use of the C word. Like I was in, again, a non, or what did I say? YouTube does not like that. Yeah, YouTube does not like that. Don't say that on this show. Oh, I'm not going to say it. Bring it. But like, I was at the smoke pit. I just like YouTube. Like that's the N word essentially. And you're like, really? I don't think so. Eh.

And like there was these Aussies that Australia was throwing around the N word like that'd be an issue. Yeah.

You're right, though. They do use it. It really doesn't mean much there. It's like the word shit today. They'll even use it for friends. It's like the F word in America. It's very dynamic. You think I can get away with it with an Australian accent? Not on the... Dude, we watched the monetization. With one million women. Well, YouTube, we had a breakdown. We don't get demonetized much, but when we do...

I always like try to review it. And I remember the review. I was like, why the fuck did this get demonetized? Ryan Reynolds are the C word every time. Every time. Every single time. And they were like an hour and 38 minutes. Ryan Reynolds is self-deletion.

That's how we said the 22. That's why now we call it the Ryan Reynolds yourself. Because if you say that word or reference it too directly. So I'm not allowed to say that someone irritated me so much I'm only going to do 21 push-ups tonight? You can say that. Okay. I don't understand. You can't use his name? No, you can say Ryan Reynolds. No, no, no, no. Ryan Reynolds is a reference to his superhero character. G-Band, you can't say G-Band. Block this out. You can't say G-Band. Okay. I got you. I got you. I got you.

Interesting. Very interesting. I didn't know that. We have a bunch of different... Suck starting a sh** solution. G-Man's like, God damn, I have to bleep so much. I gotta work so goddamn hard. You ever see George Carlin when he talks about... What's the best one? When George Carlin's like, doing that is like telling God, you can't fire me, I quit. No.

George Carlin was a treasure. He was so sad I never got to see him. He was an animal. I love George Carlin, man. Everything he did is just like so good. You know the first time he did was the eight words you can't say on TV? He got arrested. Like arrested. Wait, what? I saw a TikTok on it. I don't know how true it is, but like apparently he did it live on a television show and they arrested him afterwards. Dude, I remember being a kid or...

young adult, I don't know. And they straight up arrested two live crew when they did that show. Remember that? In 92? I think 92? They were not born yet. I was seven. Hold on. I was two. I was negative two. You were two. So they obviously watched that live on TV. I was two, too. I just remembered seeing it. My dad talked about it. I watched it on YouTube later. Five years later.

I was seven. Oh God. Oh, this is, this is, I want you to take this in ladies and gentlemen, this is what you look like when you get out of the military and you stay young. This is what you look like when you've been doing it for 15 years. And, um, I,

I daily contemplate the amount, nevermind, we're just gonna just move on. - No, yeah, when are we, what do I do to get you fired? So you just do content full time, yeah. - What do you gotta do to get me fired? I don't know, a lot of people wanna get me fired. The only thing keeping me important-- - She just starts it with his black face. He just photo shots it off. - Here's my plan, okay? Here's my two step plan. Step one, go to a War Thunder forum.

Step two, make a video about it and tell everybody thank you to Habitual Line Crosser for telling me all of this shit. That's my whole plan. And then he's going to get fired. I'll also get arrested. How many years do you have left? I got five years left, but I'm going warrant, so I'll have six years. You're volunteering for an extra year? Yeah, it's just...

Fucking rookie move. Bro, this is the thing. Hold on, hold on. Did you not learn anything from the first 10? Stay with me. I was a first sergeant for 17 days and I wanted to drink because the military is the biggest group of retards and assholes you've ever fucking met. And they were, I didn't know I wasn't supposed to smoke, crack, and drive. Okay, you fucking mongoloid. And like, but then you... Yeah, I'm so fucking... Yeah, you're talking about private issues are going off. I'm telling you, man, like...

And then you got some fucking... Fucking mongloid. And then you get some fucking SAR major that calls me, uh, Sar Long, why did he drink and drive? Oh, let me see. Look up my list. His parents are related. He had fucking eight lead paint chips as a kid. Fucking drank

What the fuck do you want from me, Sar Major? Like, no answer I can give you will make you go back to sleep. You're like, you know what? If I'm being perfectly honest in the safety breeze, I didn't actually mention smoking crack and driving. That's my bad. That's on me. That's on me. I got this. I got it. I'm going to add that to the list, and it'll never happen again. I piggybacked off the... I went with the template. I used the template. It's my bad. My bad. Fuck me.

Fuck me. I love the military. Don't get me wrong. I love what I do. I love missiles and fucking tactics and everything that I do with the system and shooting shit down. And I love being that asset. I love it. I love that you didn't mention...

privates in anywhere. No, no. I get a phone call at 2 in the morning and just like, Sergeant, my wife can't get on base. Why? Because she was driving without a license. What the fuck do you want me to do, you fucking idiot? The dumbest bunch of fucking idiots. Let me make a defense of that behavior. I'm only saying this because now I've been out forever. The military does make you so dependent on it.

You know what I mean? That in a way, it's not shocking that they're at... You know what I mean? It's like they make you go to them for everything. So, I don't know. I could see how the system... I'm mad at how much of a point he has right now. God damn it. I just want the cheap... Basic training, literally, like, I'm going to tell you how to wipe your own ass, and then you get mad at them when they ask how to wipe their own ass. You see it later. Yeah, it's a system. They tell you don't...

You jump how high I tell you to jump. Some people can recover. Some people stay broken from that. At this point, I'm sticking around for the cheap health care. That's why I'm sticking around. Oh, because it's so good? Yeah.

So on that, though, I was going to make a strong hand joke. I drank too much. I'm sorry. I was going to make a strong hand joke. You want another one? A hand joke, what? You ever seen a scary movie, too? Grab my strong hand. I do it with my strong hands. Yeah, it's a great movie. I'm going to hell. That's all right. I've used that joke many times. What's his name? I forget the guy's name. Funny guy. Oh, no, that was Chris...

Chris Evans? No, the guy, the strong guy. Anyways, I can't think of his name right now. But I've used this analogy before. I look at the military like a crazy girlfriend. It really is. And so it's like she's bananas. Oh, yeah. Bananas. But she's really hot.

And sex is really good. So it's like you'll kind of do you put up with what we're going to go shopping for light bulbs like

but you do it, you know? And then you're just, you're like bouncing between linens and things, Home Depot and freaking Bed Bath and Beyond like your whole weekend. And you're just like, how did I get here? I want to agree with you, but like after my divorce, so I've been divorced and I'm remarried. Um, uh, my wife is amazing. Honestly, one out of 7.8 billion people on this planet. I'm telling you. And, um,

But I have such a long list of red flags. Like if the military was like that, that far, I would just be like, I can't, I can't do this. Cause like, I mean, I'm telling you winged eyeliner, red lipstick, driving a Chevy Corolla or excuse me, Chevy Cavalier. Like these are weird red flags for the longest time.

In the military, I agree in some point, but after it's burned me in some ways, I got my red flags up about Uncle Sam. But what I'm saying is you're still doing it. You know, that's fair. That's what I'm saying. You want to break up with her, but you're just like, God, when it's good, it's really good. When it's bad, it's really bad, but I'm just hoping to be good more. Just do the content full time. You know what? Next year...

When I go to Halloween, I'm going to be in New York. How many years are you at? I'm at 15 years. Can't you say I'm done at 15? I mean, well, no. Technically, I've reenlisted and I would have to get out at 17. Dude, two years is a third of six years.

I know, but... Science. You're correct. Hold on. Let me hit my logic here. You know what sounds better than being a full-time content creator and doing good things with you guys all the time? Not whatever you're about to say. I can already tell. Cheap healthcare and a pension on top of being a full-time content creator with you guys. You're making a fundamental math error here.

I'm 100% serious and I got to put my foot down. It's a math error. Okay. How's the math error? I'm here for it. How much is your retirement? Oh, fucking not good. Probably 100% disability, which is like $3,400, give or take a month. Uh,

Which, hold on, hold on. That 100% right there is guaranteed right now. You don't need to do another five or six years to get that. That's fair. So now retirement, concurrent retirement, how much? Right now, if I were to retire, I'd make about $2,200 a month. Okay. So how much do you think he could make after five years of doing what you're doing?

Welcome to my... Welcome to Unsub's new series, Reverse Recruiting. You're gonna fucking quit. And I'm gonna prove it to you with math and science and shit. You're gonna... Fuck. And I'm saying that. I'm saying this because... You'll see the numbers and be like...

Dude, it doesn't make any sense. I'm serious. It doesn't make any sense. You're an American hero. I love what I do, though, man. I like missiles and shit. I love what I do. You're autistic about it. I literally got out...

And then I still play army and I get paid for it. Way better than you got paid. Way better. Being army. You can imagine being in control and only focusing on the things you like. Be a consultant. Be a missile consultant. But making like $400,000 a year. Yeah. Monthly. That's not a bad thing.

You're like, I can make two grand a month. It's working. Think about it, though. You're like, I can make two grand a month. Or hear me out, 30 grand a month. How much would a company insurance policy cost you? The best insurance you could fathom. $1,000 a month? Yeah, no, like $1,200 a month. $1,200 a month. Literally, that'll be like, can I add dental? You know what? I'm going to get vision. And it's a business write-off.

There you go, dude. It doesn't make financial sense. This is how they fuck you. This is how they get in touch. This is how we fuck you. Just do 20 years. Just do 20 years. Cut to next week and he's like, well, habitual line crosser's a new host. Full time. Is that going to be Texas? Everyone's just starting to move. Somewhere in the basement of the Pentagon, there's going to be a bunch of crusty generals watching this video being like, how the fuck did they get him to quit? Yeah.

it. We got to reverse engineer this and figure out how to get them all back. Oh, and also, kill

killed those guys. - Yeah, that's what you see, guys. - We become the CCT. Afghanistan, that looks like burning. - Specters over the house, and then where the little bodies flying out of there. - To be fair, the government recruiting is getting slightly better lately. The ads have drastically improved. Have you seen the new Air Force ad? - No. - Where it's like, the planet is 74% water. It's fucking this much percent earth.

and the air is 100% ours. And a fucking F-22 screeches by and does a fucking dead leaf move, and it's just like, join the U.S. Air Force. You know what they should add to that, though? They're going back to the dragon fighting the fucking... You know what they should add to that, though? But you'll never come into contact with that plane. You will be on the ground hammering away on missiles. You'll never even see a 22. You'll never see it. You won't...

Statistically speaking, this is not for you. You're part of a bigger machine. I mean, we only have 168 of them. I mean, that's all we have. But like when you compare it to other fifth gens that are out there, like the Su-57, which by the way, I don't know if you know this world. You know you're autistic, right? Yeah. I'm just making sure. For the Russian fanboys. I can't start, man.

They actively recruit officers. It does not have a large enough reduction in radar cross-section to be considered stealth by NATO standards. It is considered reduced visibility. So your Su-57 is not a stealth aircraft. But anyways, they have like, what, six of them that work? Ten, maybe? Well, I mean, to be fair, to Russia's credit, it is statistically impossible for a squadron of Raptors to take out a squadron of Su-57s. Because they don't have a squadron. Because they don't have a squadron.

Get fucked, Russia. Communism. Burn. Burn. You want to know why it's so much bigger than the F-22? It's not because it's better. It's because it has to have a bigger gas tank because communism doesn't have good enough logistics to do aerial refueling, you fucking morons. I thought their engines were just so far apart because they were a victim of fetal alcohol syndrome. Fuck. Fuck.

Actually in Russia... What do you mean? In Russia they just call that childhood. Comrade, we are the best jets in the army. Remember when we were shaking? I don't even know how to do a Russian accent. Did you see that they finally commissioned, like they're like, we're going to produce it, the Su-75 Checkmate, which looks like an F-35 off of fucking Wish.

It literally like, look at it. It looks like an F-35 with a, like a learning disability. Like it's just the worst fucking thing you've ever seen. Dude. What does F-35 have chromosomes? No, no, no. You got to do that video and do like a Down syndrome voice. Oh, fuck. Right? There it goes. Hey guys. I just picture an F-35 with a bad haircut. It's like a bull haircut from Dumb and Dumber. Yeah, it's that extra haircut. Fuck. Nick's like, goddamn.

God damn. I don't like my motors. We're really doing it. I don't like my engines too close together. It's a sensory thing. Shit, man. Oh my God. One day we'll be canceled. Yeah. They made a CQB AT4, which is pretty sweet. Wait. Hold on. Time out. That's what we need to hear about. A CQB AT4. Yeah, CQB AT4. It was awesome. Close quarters combat anti-tank. So basically what they did was...

For all those times you've walked into a living room and there was a fucking tank there. Stop! Stop!

No, you know what it's for is for that German guy who had the tiger in his basement for like the last 80 years Ready for it

Why is that used? I think actually the... I can't remember if the CQB had a thermal barrack. I'm sure they did it later after that. But basically what all it was was a huge water pack for, again, layman terms, a huge water pack in the back of the AT-4. So basically when it fired... You created a rocket water charge. If you were anywhere behind it, dude, it was like a... What's it called? A water impulse charge. I mean, it was like...

Just like getting shot with jizz. Like, saw the sketchers all over against the wall. So does that like honest, honest question? Just because I like my explosive. I like my explosive on how you describe water charges used to create a directional charge through a door. Just for those of you who don't know, I saw Ranger Bat do it one time and it was, it was like a work of art. The door is bent like a, you went straight back to kill the bunch of people inside. It's camping. Yeah. But what does that do with the, the rocket?

does that increase muzzle velocity? Like, I'm really curious at this point. I'm sure it does, and I'm sure they designed the rocket to pair with that, so I'm sure it's a different rocket than a normal one, but it basically just allows you to shoot it within a room. Okay, that makes sense, actually. Here's my thing. If you've ever seen one, it's fucking gangster. We all die. What?

It's a small nuke. So it was designed to reduce the back blast. Absolutely. It was literally designed to fire from within a building. Which, if you've ever shot an AT-4, you ain't shooting one in within a building. They could tell me I can shoot this AT-4 in a building. I'd be like, no thank you. You keep saying that word. I do

I do not think it means what you think it means. I feel like I have the Korean light to make fun of communism as much as I want. You chase that dream. I'm going to go use the little air defense room. I hate it being called that. Making fun of communism is kind of like making fun of the Amish.

they'll never see it it's fair you know that's not true though so like no i'm in college right now i'm like finishing history degrees like you'd be blown away at the they teach in college now dude i still i it would i i have this much of an inkling and i i actually really appreciate how it's melting down right now it's like they're starting to

How to say this? Their own bullshit is starting to like cause friction of their levels of bullshit. I won't go into more detail, but you know what I mean. They're fighting each other because only they care about the bullshit. It's literally, they're literally fighting each other and you're like, you guys know where this comes from? This faction of people is just like, I don't care what you think. So they're like, that seems hard. I'm going to go fight somebody else that's more like me because it'll be easier. Well, just think of the fundamental nature of what they're saying, which is,

You know, we're... I mean, we need a shirt that just says, That is such a good shirt. They're saying, this cause, whatever it is, this cause. And then you have people on the campus that disagree with it. They're wrong. Silence them. But you're like...

Are you guys missing? Do you not see that you're literally going against the first amendment right now? Do you not see that you're removing people's ability to have an opinion outside your own? Well, that's what's like. I love watching Nick because he discussed this last time. He's in college right now getting his test free degrees. Yeah, I hate it. So what are your pronouns?

But you're debating. Bro, I got amateur nouns at best. Fuck. Watching you debate them and just absolutely crucify. Because these are kids in his class. Yeah. It's got to be rough. I don't know how you can. You ever just have an entire. To be fair, there's a couple kids. And it's really funny because it's like, oh.

Your parents fucking raised you right, and then you fucking know how to read. Like, that's literally all this kid does, and he's just, like, wrecking everybody else in the class that's defending communism on a daily basis. It's fucking insane. Like, fucking... Well, that's not real communism. It's like...

Communism is founded in the fucking ideology of Karl Marx, a dude that is buried in a fucking private cemetery in England because he didn't want to be buried next to all the fucking peasants. He didn't want a state-assigned plot, which was available at the time, by the way. He didn't fucking want it because he didn't want to live next to you fucking peasants. And now if you want to go pay homage to the creator of communism –

You have to pay money to go visit this motherfucker's grave. Okay? It makes no goddamn sense. And you still do. You're like, oh, he's a fucking genius. This is the best way to live. It's never fucking worked. It results in genocide every fucking time. But clearly, it's going to work the next time we try it. It's going to be fucking great. We should absolutely do that. You just triggered a whole bunch of people in the comments. Fuck them. Fuck them. You know what? Get on your...

your fucking iPhone or your Android and bitch about it. It's all products of capitalism. Okay. You want to know why Karl Marx is buried in fucking England? It's because he got fucking exiled from his own goddamn country. So he went to the only place on the planet tolerant enough to handle that fucking moron. London, literally the birthplace of fucking capitalism.

How fucking sugar can we get him?

Oh my God. That's exactly what they tried to do to West Berlin. This is the best night of my life. Oh my God. Oh, fuck. They're better than us. We're going to blockade them off and starve them to death until they join communism. That's what they do every fucking time. Oh my God. I just... G-Man, that's your intro. And every time it's just like...

Well, that's not real communism. We should retry. Imagine if Eli made fucking egg rolls and every time I ate them, I violently shit myself till I got hospitalized. And every time I came to Texas, Eli was like, bro, this time my egg rolls are going to be the best egg rolls ever. How many fucking times are you going to eat those fucking egg rolls?

And by the way, everyone else that he's made roles for has the same reaction. Forever. Except instead of me violently shitting myself, it's millions of people getting genocided. You shit yourself to death. Oh my God.

Oh, this is the best night of my life. But don't worry. It's okay. It's okay. It'll probably work out. A bunch of people with four-year degrees that they don't use that have Skittle-colored hair are going to call me a pseudo-intellectual and tell me I'm wrong from their fucking iPhone and explain why the fuck... I'm done. So let's look at... Here's a...

A funny thing to look at is the 60s. Holy shit. And whenever somebody gives me some shit like that, I go, let's look at the 60s. What happened in the 60s? You had probably the most largest group or the most buy-in to change the world at one time. I would argue in the last half of the world. You're talking about the hippie movement? Yeah, hippie movement in the 60s. It was a large percentage of people saying we're going to change the world.

Did they? Yeah, they went to San Francisco, got a bunch of STDs, rolled around in the mud, fucked each other, and then changed nothing. And then one day they went, yeah, we can't change anything. Fuck, I need a job. Like, they all stopped. Actually, I shouldn't say all. There's some that are diehards, like the O'Leary's that are like diehard hippies. Hey, good credit to you. But by and large, every, by the way, every cult is always founded on the same idea, which is changing the world.

Every single one is founded on the same thing. They take a bunch of people that want to do good things and then they flip it into this devious plan that's under the guise of saving the world. I'll give you a great example. A great example that just happened and no one's talking about it. SBF FTX. You guys familiar with the story? I'm not. Largest financial sham in history. Do you know what his basis for this was?

Changing the world through effective... No. Well, here's the crazy part is through effective altruism. We're going to make... Here's the justification. Instead of just giving $1,000 to Doctors with Borders or instead of becoming a doctor, I'm going to make a billion dollars and then give it to charities and that is how we're going to save the world. That's effective altruism.

SBF takes that and under the guise of changing the world and saving the world, scams billions and billions. It's the largest financial scam in history. I haven't heard of this. Dude, FTX, the collapse of FTX, Sam Bankman freed. Now, you really look into it.

He absolutely did this intentionally. He's going to go to jail for it. They're going to throw away the key on him. But we're talking, I think, $20 billion. Dude, he went from a net worth of $32 billion to zero in...

A week, I believe. Holy fuck. Have you guys not heard of this at all? No, I haven't heard of this at all. It's fascinating. So Sam Bigman freed FTX Claps. So he basically created this company. How the fuck do you lose $32 billion instantly? So FTX collapses. Basically what he was doing was he was taking customers' money and then trading and betting on crypto. So he created a crypto exchange called...

and takes all these people's money. Wait, is that the one with the girlfriend? Yes. Okay, now I know. Caroline Allison, yes. Yep. Yeah. Oh, and by the way, her, she was in charge of a $10 billion company. She had no idea what she was doing, self-admittedly. Like, when you look at this, it's hard to fathom the point that I'm making. And by the way, you know what he did with customer funds? In 2020, I believe, he was the largest Democratic donor ever.

Dude, look all this stuff up. It's absolutely true. My point that I'm making on it is,

Under the guise of like this, this new, like save the world and help. It's just the same old song, which is using that as a manipulation to get people together to then basically get rich, get rich or, or gain power. Isn't that a Ponzi scheme? Pretty much like you take people's money in altogether. No, it's not a pond. I mean, it became a Ponzi scheme, but what they were buying was they were basically putting all the money into the exchange and then buying, you know,

Bitcoin, whatever. But the problem is, is he was taking customer deposits, transferring them into what's called Alameda Research. And then they were doing huge, basically they were a hedge fund. So the hedge fund was using customer money. They were unaccounted for, I believe, $8 billion. So $8 billion, they're like, yeah, we don't really know where that went. You're talking about a $40 billion company that didn't have a board of directors. Yeah.

A $40 billion company that didn't have an accounting team. Didn't have a group of lawyers. Wait until this guy finds out about the Pentagon. Unaccounted billions? Those are rookie numbers. Sam Bankman-Fried's like, or the Pentagon looks at Sam Bankman-Fried and is like, fucking amateur. Pretty much. But again, the point being is to like,

That is, he was absolutely, this was all under the guise of socialism. Yeah, 100%. And under the guise of socialism, he basically scammed billions and billions of dollars. And guess who bought it? That generation, his generation. I don't even know what they're called now. And quite frankly, I don't give a fuck. I hate communism. Youngins. You're talking about like,

But you got to research it. It's my, the level of craziness, it's an amazing story. And it's a story, in my opinion, of like, it's Sam Bankman Freed's parents were literally, what are they called? Berkeley, Berkeley professors. Like,

Like he came from the freaking everything is love school and he just totally wrecked everyone. Of course they were. Of course they were. No, I'm telling you, when you start looking into it, you'll be like, this is gold. The moral of the story is don't buy crypto. It's a scam, everyone. Fuck that. Buy defense bonds. That's what you need to do.

War bonds. I will tell you, Uncle Sam overspends. Either they're going to pay out or you're not going to need money anymore. Those are the two solutions of what's going to happen. That's the reality. Either that's going to pay out

or break out the fucking bottle caps because that's the new fucking currency. We have a problem. That's a fallout. It's a thing. We can all agree Uncle Sam overspends on some shit. So like in a Patriot system, right, you have a modern man station. It has a Logitech mouse. The mouse for the Patriot system you use like a regular computer mouse costs $7 at fucking Office Depot. But because it has a proprietary head that plugs into the back of the system, it's not a USB. How much does Uncle Sam charge? $740 last time I checked.

That's how much I'm- And that's going to some family from the guy that made the thing. That was- that's how much that mouse is worth according to the United States Army, but- Uh, nah I'm good. But I will tell you- Let's see, Comet doesn't buy that shit though. Because I know everything, so like, the Patriot system is a billion dollars and people are like "Oh that's a fucking crazy amount of money", right? The missiles, yeah whatever, the missiles are worth whatever, right? Cool. The missiles are fast, swooshy, kaboomy, whatever they have, lethality enhancers- Aren't all missiles fast? Yeah, but these are like faster- These are like fast, fast.

It's really awkward. I tell you right now, so you want to hear some crazy shit, and I can tell you guys this, right? So Patriot, I saw the only video in history of Patriot firing in succession with THAAD. Now, THAAD is our Terminal High Altitude Area Air Defense. Obviously. Right? And THAAD...

I thought that makes Patriot look like a fucking, yeah. So, but check this out. This is going to blow your fucking mind. That football player locked in the tackle missile. Oh man. Go on. So, so this was a civilian video, took him by a civilian head, hand it over to a military member, hand it to another military member, hand it to a friend of mine. And I saw it right in Patriot missiles, unclassed travel at mock Ford.

Mach 4 is how fast a Patriot missile moves. Unclass. They moving. That's... THAAD missiles move exponentially faster than this. Well, in January of 2022, Patriot and THAAD fired at the exact same time. This was in the United Arab Emirates. Houthi rebels decided to fire a missile. They fucked around. They found out real fucking quick. Right? So they fire this missile.

or missiles, and Patriot, you see like in the video, you see Patriot fireballs going up, and they're moving. I mean, Mach 4, that's pretty fucking quick. They're moving. They're cooking. And then you see one fuck-all missile just go flying past them like they're not even moving. That's a THAAD tower. That's what that is. But here's the kicker about THAAD, right? So THAAD is a two-stage missile. Missile goes up, separates stage one from stage two. This missile is the epitome of, but first, let me take a selfie, right? So this is what this missile fucking does, right?

It goes up, the warhead separates from stage one. The warhead takes an image of the target. The radar then takes that image, receives it, and overlays its own image on top of it to say, hey, is this the target? So the missile and the radar both take a picture of this fucking target. And then it goes, yep, that's the target. And then stage two guides itself in and fucking smokes it. How fast is it? Who's confirming it? Unclassified Mach 8, last I read it.

Mach 8, give or take. What's that? It. So it's... The computer's computer. It's double-checking itself as it separates. So the operator just fires and says, kill this thing. And it's like, cool, I'm going to go do that job. And it just fucking sends it. I guess the question I have is...

Is it possible that it goes, shit, I'm wrong. I'm so wrong. It absolutely could. It absolutely could. So like if it goes up and it's like, let me take a selfie and it's the wrong selfie, it's like, ah, no, fuck this. I can't do this. And then it fucking falls off, right? But like, here's the thing. Oh, it's going to have a problem in China. Yeah. I'm not going to say they all look alike. I'm not going to say it. I just like, Nick's like, don't let me. Look, look, look. Look, look.

I'm sure the Chinese and Taiwan equipment looks different. I'm positive. They don't have the same equipment. But like, so we overspend on everything. We'll let Eli come back here. He's like, uh...

Fuck you. Which one? For this fight, tie one. Just go ahead. Open them up. I'm sorry. Fuck, man. I'm going to cancel right there. It was perfect. I'll take one. Fuck it. And then, so...

Is the thing. Yeah. So you move in Iowa. Fucking I don't know at this point. So they're both better than Oklahoma. Yeah, absolutely. So the radar, obviously. So everything is expensive. Fucking Patriot missiles are like five thousand missile or five thousand.

$5 million a piece. The CRIs... It's 5,000 missiles to buy one Patriot. We traded missiles. It's like gold. So they're $5 million a piece, but the CRI, the Cost Reduction Initiative, I guess they skipped the fucking fancy ghost flames or some shit on it. They're like $3 million a piece. Honestly, you could park them right next to each other. I have no idea what the difference is. No, I couldn't tell you the difference between those two missiles. It's a patent going to some freaking dude who's getting paid off. That's pretty much it, probably. So, but the radar...

That radar is $150 million and every bit of that money makes sense. Cause I know what that fucking radar can do. I'm going to tell you some theoretical shit, obviously theoretical. I can't tell you that this exists in the world, but theoretical. So there's this thing out there, a theoretical called this called NCTR. You can look this up. It's called non-cooperative target recognition. Now the theory is that a radar pushing radiation beams, using light to measure auditory fucking returns. So as light moves through fucking sound, uh,

As that light comes back to that radar, that radar should be able to read the sound that is coming off of that engine of that aircraft. It could also measure that engine of that aircraft and then come back and tell you if that's an F-18 or if that is a MiG-29. It can give you a list of aircraft based off of the way the engine sounds and the size of that motor that it's getting returns off of at 300,000 kilometers a second.

absolutely fucking terrifying. That's a theoretical. Remember, that's theoretical, folks. Non-cooperative target recognition is theoretical. So what if they just build all their jets with our engines? They don't get our engines. They're sanctioned right now. I mean... That's fucking insane. So that's how... That's just...

That's theoretical. That's theoretical. It sounds like a freaking radar system with like split personalities. It's or, or a radar that can, again, theoretical is a theoretical thing that can dig through. You're just trying not to get fired right now. that can dig through a debris field. It can smoke you with a missile and then dig through your debris field and look for additional warheads. God, that, uh,

the proportional video that I made. Proportional. The amount of comments I get on it from like angry people that are like, that would never happen today. The American Navy is not that strong anymore. Blah, blah, blah. It's like, bro, fucking the USS Gerald Ford is parked off the coast of a certain region on the planet. It's so much worse than you fucking. It's so much worse. It's nuclear power and it's fucking.

500 megawatts of the weak link, logistically speaking, with the USS Gerald Ford is the fact that people have to live on it.

The only thing on that boat that needs to be replenished regularly is food so the people can fucking eat. That thing has left America. It doesn't have to return for anything other than food for the next 25 years. Nuclear power. Because it's nuclear powered and it has... Can't they just do like some freaking indoor gardening, you know? And it's...

Just raise like rabbits. I don't know. They wouldn't have room for missiles. It can generate so much power that you could literally park it off the coast of a major U.S. city after a natural disaster and it could provide power to the city. What does that plug look like? Does it have like four prongs? It's a four prong. It's the same as your dryer. It's the biggest Apple mag lock you've ever had. It's the biggest.

So for us, talking about power. USB-C charger. Oh, I got it upside down. We use this for library technology. Our cables are, I don't know, they're like two and a half inches cables and they're 208 volts, three phase, 400 hertz. That's what we're pushing. I don't know, Mr. Electrician could probably tell me that that's a lot.

But the THAAD, we were talking about THAAD a little while ago, right? THAAD, Turbo Mountain. I'm going to just go ahead and tell you that that radar, by the way, the unclassified range of that radar is 2,900 kilometers. That's the unclassified one. That's the unclassified range of that radar. The classified is 2,900 and

And one. Yeah, that's fucking... Always. Just remember, if you Google something about America, it's more. Like, we can shoot 10 missiles. It's more. Whenever communism says they can do something, it's less. Whenever America says they can do something, it's more. 100% of the time. I promise you. 10x multiple. Do you remember how disappointing it was? Why'd they build the F-15? What was the Soviet plane? Oh, God. The Foxbat. Yeah. They...

Soviets talked up this fucking plane so much in America. It's like, fuck it. We're going to build the F-15. And then they like caught one. Finally, I was like, oh, this thing fucking sucks. The F-15 wipes the floor with it. It's just fucking miserable. It's fucking ridiculous. Those of you who don't know, the F-15 is America's fuck around and find out. It has 104 and 0 kill death ratio.

104 and 0. That's real world. That's real world with the F-15s. Keep in mind, this F-15 has also taken out a helicopter with a guided JDAM before. Yeah. Like, it was just like, there's a helicopter. I dropped this bomb and smoked a fucking helicopter because that's what America does. I feel bad for that crew. Legitimately. That's the most embarrassing thing. Imagine going into, like, the afterlife and they're like, how did you die? You're like, what? Fucking... I heard an F-15.

15 pilot yell, Jordan! And then I fucking died. I don't know what happened. So you died in an air battle. Kind of. It was...

Kind of. It was with a jet. Oh, it went head on head. No. What else was he? Air above us. Only plane to shoot down a satellite that was in orbit. It fired an anti-satellite missile that fired up to 240 miles up and smoked a satellite just because America said fucking we're going to do it. Because we can. What satellite was it? It was an American satellite. It was for a test. Yeah, but it was because... It doesn't even work.

- America's doing it on our side. - We even say fuck us. - It was some country. - Yeah, it's like fuck us. - You punch your own back. - Some country had put up a satellite recently. - And yeah. - And America wanted to send the message of like, I don't give a fuck if you put a satellite up. The only reason it's up is because I allow it. So then we shot down one of our own to prove a point. - And then in 2008, we shot down another one with an Aegis system.

Just because America... I mean, allegedly. Sorry, that one's not confirmed. 2008, it was an alleged... I like you, like, nodding. Like, yeah, we did that. For those of you that don't know, Aegis is the military term for fucking laser beams. Yes. Just so we're all on the same page. Aegis is a scary bitch. Lasers are awesome. It's... Oh, so we have this... Go ahead. I'm sorry. Every fucking nerd, every time I make a video about the American Navy, they're like, fucking... I know, it's the

The American Navy wouldn't fucking last because Iran and Russia, they have hypersonic missiles that travel at 8,600 miles per second. Oh my God. Cool. The fucking USS Gerald Ford is surrounded by destroyers with the Aegis system and the Aegis system is a fucking laser beam that travels at...

The speed of light, fuckface. Which is like 186,000 miles per second. It's a lot fucking faster than a hypersonic missile, dickhead. Speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second. The fuck is a kilometer? You get returns. Go fucking sit in the car. Radars. I'm sorry. But aren't lasers faster than lights?

It's like strong light Better light it's more focus. It's why it's called a blue light sabers go faster. Yeah

For those of you, like there's some people, especially in my comment section, they're like, these little drones take out your Patriot system. It's like, okay, cool. So let's go ahead and bring in FS Lids, Slam Ninja. By the way, Slam, Slam is a really cool system. You'd like this as infantry guys, right? Slam is an attachment you put on top of your M4. And when you laze a drone that's in the air, you hold the trigger. And when your trigger gets to the icon that leads that drone, it'll fire automatically for you. And that's how you shoot down drones with the Slam system.

That's by the way, that's a slam the FS lids on the other hand just kills all fucking signal in the area So does the ninja and so does the the coyotes kind of cool? It's a drone that goes up and hunts down their fucking drone because America just does shit like that Shouldn't a coyote be a drone that goes and grabs a drone and takes it into another place. I just kind of explode through it That works It's not a coyote

And then you got the, honestly, big failure of research and development on America's side. Cause we have this thing called D E M shore ad, which stands for directed energy maneuver, short range air defense. Sounds like a laser beam. It is a laser beam. It's a fucking laser beam. And for the cost of a gallon of diesel, which uncle Sam pays like $4 for a gallon of JP eight, right? You can down probably 10 to 15 drones, uh,

So it's a laser beam on top of a fucking striker. Like they just like were strikers with fricking laser beams on their head. And this is in full production. It's at four 60th right now in fucking Fort Sill. They have them. They exist. They're real. They're here. They can shoot down artillery and anything size three or below drones. So commercial, it's a laser beam.

You just sit there and unfortunately, this is the big failure of research and development. Doesn't make phaser sounds, doesn't make Death Star sounds. We need to go back to the drawing board. Who are these engineers? I know, right? It's wild. No sounds. I just love that the comment section is being like, oh yeah, drone. The comment section that has like,

America bad opinion is like, oh yeah, well, consumer grade capitalism is going to defeat you. It's like, no, it's not. No, it isn't. I wish you the best in your future endeavors. Consumer grade capitalism is the shit the government had 35 years ago. They've got solutions well before they gave it to everybody else. The amount of shit, like, cause I mean, this is the thing. So we just stood up the counter UAS school on Fort Sill, unmanned aerial system. Sorry. I,

Yeah, drones. UAV, UAS, RPA. Every officer got a fucking OER bullet for a different acronym for just UAV. But anyways, so counter UAS school. And they stood up. There's like, I mean, there's L-MATIS, there's Mantis, there's Ninja, there's fucking FS LIDS. I mean, all these different systems. And they're teaching...

like special forces guys are coming down and they're like, how do I deal with drones? And they're like, well, we're going to hand you this thing, which it looks like a laser gun. And you're just going to pew and shoot them down. See, and that's the problem. Those guys are like, no, no. Like, how do I deal with this? I want to know how to shoot them myself with my gun.

I don't want to fucking, oh, we're going to give you a device and it's going to drop it and fuck you. How do I shoot it? Can you develop a bullet that's actually five bullets? You know that's what it is. What about a shotgun round, but it's like an eight gauge? I

I want a 40 millimeter grenade with a net. I like it. I thought about that. On a serious note, why has no one made that? They're like, sir, no, we already have this. No, it's a 40 millimeter. You're arguing back. The net. Oh,

In 2016, the Air Force used to drive around the airfield and just shoot at them with 12 gauges. Like, we were in a non-disclosal country in Southwest Asia, whatever the fuck it was, and they would drive around the fucking runway, and you'd just hear the Air Force running around with 12 gauges. Like, ah, they're shooting at another fucking commercial drone, man. Like, we had nothing for them back then. See, that's the thing. Who doesn't want to do that? You know what I mean? That's awesome. God.

I don't want a device. I just want a drone round. I'm going to be up till midnight tonight now. A while back, there was like a court case. It was getting pushed up the court system in America because it was in Texas. Some fucking drone was hovering over this dude's like. Oh, yeah. He thought it was spying on his girlfriend or something. He had a six foot high privacy fence and this drone was going over his house looking at his like 17 year old daughter like tanning.

or like in the hot tub or the pool or whatever. - I remember this guy. - And fucking dad, Texan, walks out with a shotgun, blows the fucker out of the sky, and the drone owner took him to court because he doesn't own the airspace over his land, and it was like getting pushed up, oh, I need to figure out where that went. - That's a good question. - Intriguing. - That's actually wonderful. I would really much, like very much like to know how that happened. - I wanna know the answer because like, I don't know, raises the question of like how much airspace do you own over your house?

Are people just allowed to fly drones up to your fucking window? Well, it's interesting. So a lot of our original drone designs, our original anti-drone designs for the whole world, like this, I mean, fricking every country, name it, right? It was to kill a signal and a lot of drones, commercial off the shelf drones have a return to like home. You know, they have like a return home setting.

And originally it was like, all right, we're going to follow it back and then we're going to bomb the living fuck out of you, especially in a country that rhymes with schmoo crane, right? Like we're just going to make up that country, right? We didn't, side note, we did the return home button back in like,

5 to 08. It didn't work so good. Oh, you had Ravens, did you? We had some problems. I have so many. So we were like, run it and throw it when we were first getting used to it. Fucking Ravens, bro. Fucking Ravens, man. I'm so sorry. And then we'd lose them and be like...

How much are those again? Exactly. Some afghan goes up with a nose cone like here. But no, so like the bad guys... Wait, wait, Nick, what? You have a... Go ahead, go ahead. Did you see the viral video that came out like a month or two ago of...

They were saying it was an X-160th pilot. I have no idea, but he was in this little tiny commercial helicopter with like one co-pilot and they were flying around the woods and this kid had a remote control airplane and it got caught in the trees. And he fucking walks up and fucking parks his helicopter in...

in the tree like there's branches coming into the fucking and he grabs this helicopter and the co-pilot grabs the helicopter and he takes back off and goes and gives it back to this kid and he's got a fucking cigarette in his hand on the controls the whole time

I was happy to do it. It was the most incredible thing I've ever seen. That's like the modern equivalent of some ridiculous story to get a cat out of a tree. You know what I mean? It's like, how is that even possible? It's crazy.

- Jumping back to that, right? So the return home option. So the bad guys got smart. When we first started doing the return to home, we would just follow it back home, right? Bad guys got smart. So they started originally just returning it to another location and then we wouldn't know where they're at. But then they got smart and started returning it to their detonation location. So they could just blow it up anyways. So when we killed the signal, it would just go exactly where it was headed anyways and they would blow it up anyways.

So we had to get a little bit smarter. So like the DEM Shorehead right now has a 50 kilowatt laser. Lockheed Martin just came out with a 100 kilowatt laser. And then I think it's either Northrop or Lockheed.

They're working on a 300 kilowatt laser, which is... A death beat. The downside about that is like once you burn the drone, what's behind it? Because you might blind a pilot or fucking... No, no. Fuck them aliens. Fuck them aliens, okay? Something bad might happen at that point. Now, if you loot your laser beams... Go! Go! It's going down! It's going down! Shit!

Bro, have you ever had a, was it L-RAM or whatever it is? L-RAS? Like it's a big box and it's got like a little fucking sight on it. And we used them in Afghanistan. You put them on a little tripod. They got an ASIP rate, like an antenna with them. No, 100%. Never used them. Bro, so we had these things. I assure you doing my deployment. Never in a million years. We had these things in Afghanistan. They had a really powerful laser. When you laser somebody, it would feel like they were bit by a bug.

I'm not saying my. I would never say this. Not my favorite pastime. It's called your inside spoiler. Not my favorite pastime, but other people I knew, favorite pastime, would find some random dude out there hoeing his field at two in the morning and just repeatedly shoot him in the neck with a fucking laser. And this is why people hate us. I don't know where terrorism comes from. I was weakness.

in the field and I got a tumor. Some dude in a fucking third world country just fucking trying to plant his crops getting fucked with people with technology 3,000 years ahead of him. You're just fucking x-raying their chest over and over. And America's like why do we have terrorism? Well, I'm gonna just go on a limb. I never said it was me. Let's be fair, okay? It wasn't me.

We're going to close out that amazing episode of unsubscribe. I'm so fucking happy for this. I'm so hard guys. Where can we find you? You beautiful sons of bitches starting with you. Oh shit. Actually, let's start with you. Cause I'll figure out how to do it by the time it gets to me. He works. He's a host. Oh fuck. You're just going over to me. A fucking habitual line crosser, literally everywhere except for I don't do Twitter. Yeah. Fucking Google it or whatever that. Yeah. Just Google it. Literally. I'm like the top three links that pop up.

Tyler A. Gray on Instagram. I'm going to follow you now. No, you have a podcast coming out? Yeah, I have a podcast that we're going to be releasing. I just haven't released it yet. That's a great question. Probably first of the year. What's it going to be called? Right now, he said, she said. Everyone give them follows, give them love, and fucking say your line, Nick. Quack bang out. Quack bang out.
