Come and see.

Potato man will get ya. Ho-tatoes. You're gonna be a lip dick fucker with the potato man in your room. I'm gonna save them. May I have a tatoe? It's definitely onion and cheese. I like how the... Hold on. Now I'm nerding out about this. First of all, it's weight in grams, so automatically I don't like it. But the interesting part is it doesn't have calories...

It's measured in energy, and it has kilojoules. It's how many kilojoules are in it instead of calories. So this has 545 kilojoules of energy. Which is a pretty base measurement. Which is 7% of your daily caloric intake, apparently. What could you power off of that, Nick? The only time I'm familiar with using, like, kilojoules and shit for power is, like, explosions for how much it takes to die. The explosive shits Eli's going to have after eating this. Oh, bro, that...

his locker too he just opened it dude that would be my locker it's the apocalypse and I'm like oh safe that's unlocked I open it it's nothing but cheese I'm like Chase include the video we're talking about real quick yeah my hard edit of my cheese locker I was like fuck I want to poop myself dude as soon as so my girl asked like why is she's in the group chat too with everybody she's like what the fuck is the cheese thing about I had like just a deep exhale

And then for about four minutes had to explain why the U.S. government propped up the dairy industry and now we have caves full of billions of pounds of cheese. She's like, why are you just, why are you sighing? Because I don't know where to start. It's a whole thing. It's a thing. There's lore. Super Matt. Cody, start this bitch up.

Hi everyone, welcome to the unsubscribed podcast. I'm joined today by Eli DoubleTap, Nick the Fat Electrician, Brandon Herrera the AK guy, myself Donut Operator, and we finally got all the boys back in town together. Woo! You know what the- Oh fuck, we did it backwards! Oh shit, I have- Three, two, one. That's what explodes. Fuck. Show got it in some way. Nah, we're fine for now, but don't start your car. No, we're good. Riding. Oh god.

Hi, everyone. My boys are back. I miss it, dude. We've all been like out everywhere. Been traveling, working. I've been in Iowa. Everything. He had COVID.

Yeah, that was fun. Cody didn't catch COVID. Somehow. I was just fucked up the whole time. I don't know. I think I might have had it. It was just a negative. Or your BAC just killed the virus when it tried to take root. I think so. Brandon and I were in Orlando for, what, four days? Yeah. Well, we were only supposed to be there for like two or three, and then the hurricane hit. So we got stuck at the Gaylord Hotel, which, you know, if you're going to get stuck somewhere, it's not the worst place to be. At a resort? They make a dope-ass hotel.

If you've never been to the Gaylord, it's like a compound inside. It's almost Vegas. It's a city inside of a fucking compound. I love that place. It's a campus. It's like you have restaurants, you have everything, but there's an open-air atrium that just has a greenhouse roof. It's massive. It feels like a dystopian city, that everything on the outside is toxic.

And like you just like humanity has rebuilt itself in this fucking greenhouse. This posh little greenhouse. Like, hello, we have a very nice exquisite food and bars. They really do. They really do. Yeah, it was rad. It's like Snowpiercer, but stationary. In the front of Snowpiercer. Yeah, exactly.

We got up that one morning to come home and all the flights were canceled. So what do you want to do? I don't know. Drink, I guess. Me, when you left, because you had a fucking hell of a journey getting back to like flights getting canceled and delayed while you're in the airports. But me, me, Trout and Delance just went to Disney World.

Wait, we went to downtown Disney like Disney Springs. We just went bar hopping there. We're like, fuck it. It's literally across the street from the hotel. We're like, all right, well, we could drink in the same bars or the bar in the hotel or we could just go to Disney. Dude, that's where we went. Disneyland. Oh, yeah, that's right. You guys just got back from Disneyland. Oh, yeah. We the first time in my hundreds of flights. I missed my flight.

Really? I was an hour off. And the day before, I was like, babe, I told you, hey, we have to leave at 3 to get there at 3.30 because our flight's at 5, right? While I was looking at my phone, she's like, yeah, to a T. I was like, flight's at 4. So I was like an hour off of everything. So we're about there. I'm like, oh, shit. Okay, well, Raiden is going to be landing. I got to figure out a situation for this. Baby mom was flying with him. And then I asked him, I was like, well, what's a later flight? We don't have one. I was like, hmm?

Okay, well, fuck me. Austin. Is there anything from Austin right now? And they're like, oh, yeah, eight if you want to leave from Austin. And they're like, and you'll save $450 from all your flights. I was like, fuck, yeah. We Ubered Austin, flew out, landed, and then did the Disney thing. But holy shit, Disneyland with children? Not as much fun as Solo because you're just stressed out the entire time trying to find where the fuck they're going. Hold on. How many times have you been to Disneyland without kids?

Twice. All right. We have different tastes. That's fine. It was like, you couldn't pay me to do for 800, but whatever. That's fine. It reminds me of the Playland thing. Like a single guy go into like a kid's Playland. It's like, which one's yours? I don't know. I haven't figured it out yet. What do you got going on? Yeah.

I feel like there's a meat canyon video about that whole. There's two actually. The Disney adults. Yeah. There's two of them. Dude, go and going there. You see the NPCs of the world. Jesus. Just go in there. Flexing his fast pass on all the pork. Oh no, not fast. Thank you for that thing. It's called a DAS.

Riding gets to skip to the front of the fucking lines on all rides. Really? Oh, yeah. Dope. You have to do an interview, which also this is... Can I borrow riding? Yes. Oh, dude, the gang borrows riding. We're going to all the amusement parks.

We gotta open that up in clarification as to what the fuck that means. Yes, for amusement parks. Jesus. Also equally fucked up. But how much did we raise for autism awareness with our t-shirts? It's called my nature's lightning pass. I feel like we should just get issued fast passes for life. Like we've helped the retarded community so much that... Dude, I will say this. Keep it.

Fuck a hundred like so many of you for what I'm about to explain. This is the only thing that got me actually I was like, okay now I'm frustrated you have to go in line and you have to do an interview with the people at Disneyland like right and they have to do an interview. The dude's dressed up like Mickey Mouse the entire time. Hey kids! I'm interrogating you. You got denied home! Wait, wait. Make eye contact!

Wait, wait, it's an interview to prove that he's actually autistic. Because so many people have probably faked. It's probably discussed probably how many people have faked. Bro, that's why they started setting them up. The lady and the daughter in front of me.

It is a line. I got there at eight in the morning because otherwise the line gets out of control and it was still like a 30 minute wait to get right into interview. I was like, Oh, we'll do this. Cause he does. The homeboy does not want to wait in the sun and just stand in a line that I'm going to hell. Yeah. You're talking. All I can picture in my head is avatar. The last airbender where they like roll out all the different toys and

And like the avatar is supposed to pick the one that belonged to the previous avatar. It's a train. It's like your kid picked the fucking Game Boy, not the train. Get out. You're lying. I was picturing them taking a ride and throwing them into a room with like flashing lights and loud noises and just seeing what happens. Disneyland. I'm like, here you go, kid. My whole thing is like, oh yeah, he's having a reaction. I just fucking wonder. They're just like, oh, okay. So you're saying that your son is averse to loud noises, flashing lights, and crowds. What?

fuck are you taking him to Disneyland? That's why he had headphones. And he built the journey for we could not deviate from. He's like, first I want to ride the Ferris wheel, daddy. I was like, okay, where's that at? He's like, over here. Just lead the way. But the ladies and daughter in front of us

18 year old daughter, 17 year old daughter. And she's talking to one of the workers and she's like, my daughter's autistic. And I just watched the daughter was in the disability line. Yeah. I was watching the daughter talk on a phone, just like texting, pick up, uh, doing that, like looking around board. And I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? And then the daughter's like, mom, when are we going to get this done? I'm like, Oh, you, I was like, Oh,

Oh, this is what the line is. Family behind me, super sweet dude. I was like, hey, nice tattoos. His daughter had Down syndrome. Really sweet girl. But when we got up, they did the interview questions. Hey, how does he do in crowds and everything? I'm like, Ryan, come here.

The guy was like, bud, come here. He's like, okay. And he'd squat and just play his video game. I was like, eh, if he's not having a good time, he will just literally peace the fuck out. He'll bounce. He'll be like, I gotta get out of here and walk off. They watched his interaction. Super easy. But at the end, she was like, oh, okay. Yeah, I can see. Like, he's not going to do good with lines and loud noises and all that shit. My question was like, you guys started doing this because people were abusing the system, didn't you? For autism and stuff. And she was like,

That's what I fucking thought. I was like, this is that blue hair autism where it's just like... You're autistic online. Yeah. Oh my God. I totally am autistic. I'm so neurodiver. I was like, you fucks. And that's why Disneyland now has an interview process for getting the DAS. It is absolute horseshit. But yeah, don't do that. I hate you as a human if you do that. It's just, it's stolen valor for retards.

Ryan starts a channel calling people out. He doesn't have autism. Pretty soon. Why are you liar?

I'd be glued to that channel. He just becomes like one of the pedo hunters. Just like hunting out people with stolen valor autism. Never makes eye contact. Talks out of whisper. You're wrong. You're wrong. Daddy, they're full of shit. Get him, Ryden. I'm going to kill you. Whoa, whoa. Calm down, bro. Here's a machete, Ryden. How does that make you feel? But he had a blast. It was a great time. He got all his rides in.

Fucking Jesus. I am so sorry for a lot of you that don't live in California and tried to do that because holy shit is that a lot of money if you're not

I've never been to Disneyland. I've been to Disney World a bunch. My family goes there a bunch. I've been a couple times as an adult, but I've never tried the California one. I hear it's smaller and way more crowded. So to classify, just to make it clear, Disney World, Orlando, Disneyland, California. Where's it in California? Anaheim. Okay, gotcha. And then it is for five people.

It was $1,800 for the three days. God damn. Or $2,000? Yeah. Like just to get in, not including like hotels and stuff? That was just for the park. For how many days? Just to get into the park. That was three days. We only did two, but for a three-day pass because it was more money if I got two-day passes.

I was like, what the fuck? They know what they're doing. Isn't there like some ridiculously expensive like members only club inside of Disneyland? Joe, what is it? Like 10 grand a year or some shit to get in. Is it Club 33? Like some insane amount of money. It's like for celebrities and shit like that.

And you know there's adults that have that, right? With no kids. Oh, for sure. It's like an exclusive VIP invite only almost. Yeah, this is like rich, rich. It was. A-class celebrity rich. It's the Illuminati of Disney adults. It was where the only place you could drink for a long period of time. It was the only place you could drink. In Magic Kingdom. Yeah. Alcohol. The initiation fee is $25,000 and annual fees are $12,000.

initiation fee at 25 grand. Initiation fee. 12 grand a year after that to maintain your membership. Suck off the mouse or something? Initiation? Keep that 25 grand out!

I have zero interest in ever going to any Disney amusement park. I'd rather go hang out with Chuck E. Cheese. Mr. Chuck E. Cheese? Mr. Cheese himself? The Cheese? Charles E. Cheese? At the Rat Casino? More my speed.

Bro, I took my fu- oh my god. The rat? My dad. My dad! The rat casino with his fucking gold coins? Bro! Hey kids! You wanna play some games? Okay, so... It's a fucking Italian accent. You wanna buy some coins? Smoking a cigar. Man, Disneyland's way better actually. I almost got kicked out of third grade.

for selling shit tell us more so the fucking boy scouts when i was in third grade were raising money by selling these peanut butter and jelly flavored lollipops so i came to school with like a hundred dollar bill because i never spent any of my money from birthdays or christmas and i bought all the lollipops from all the boy scouts they were a quarter a piece i bought fucking all of them from all eight boy scouts and then i went and sold them for two dollars a piece to everybody else i made a ton

kind of money in third grade. They wanted to kick me out of third grade. The fucking principal told my parents I was going to be a drug dealer for doing this. If my son did that, I would be so fucked.

- Proud. - Well, my parents were. They were like, "No, he's an entrepreneur. Fuck you." - That's capitalism, boy. - Like, "Goddamn. This boy's got a good head on his shoulders." - I had a proud dad moment literally two days ago because my dad works at this construction company and they had the company picnic where all the employees come and they had games for kids and shit and they had these little gold coins that the kids could win by doing whatever games they had out and then they could take their coins and go buy prizes.

Cutter is three, my oldest son. And he had like all these coins that he had won and he goes up to the prize counter. He's like, I want that toy. And I want that toy. And I want that toy. And the lady's like, okay, it takes this many coins. And I like explained to my three-year-old, you have to give her 15 coins. And he's like, I don't want to. And I was like, buddy, that's the only way you can get the, get the toys. And he's like, I'd rather have the coins. It's like, fuck it. Okay. So now my kid just has like 50 of these gold coins that aren't good for anything, but he wants the money.

And I love it. He just recycles them. He just... But I can actually smelt them, sell the precious metals, and then buy it on Amazon. He just kept all the coins for some fucking reason. He's like, Dad, Juan, I don't need your fucking allowance anymore. I know. He throws a coin at his dad. Get away. I don't want to alarm you. Get yourself something cute. I don't want to alarm you, but I think the games are rigged by the rat.

Rat looks shady as shit, dad. Are the rats building tunnels? Oh no. There's a wire around the casino. Oh no.

So we can operate with impunity. Oh, my God. I hate Disneyland. That is like Chuck E. Cheese. So did the minorities. Oh, yeah. I didn't say that shit. I did. Do you know how many Mexicans go to Disneyland? It took me a second to register. What the fuck? Sorry about Disneyland, but Chuck E. Cheese is a very minority. My people love that. Not the Asians. They afford Disneyland. I'm sorry.

Have you seen how much they've changed it since we were kids, Eli? Remember we had the ball pit and the tunnels and stuff? Everything was fucking steady. Chuck E. Cheese. And now it's purely just gambling. And you can drink there now. Really? What the fuck? Did they have the animatronic? No, they did away with it. Did you have that mouse in the shitty pizza?

Yeah, because I was going to say, like, kids in our generation, if they get rid of the animatronics, they're never going to realize why Five Nights at Freddy's was weird. Also, have you seen the new animatronics on the tech they use? Fucking Disneyland's animatronics are weird. Like, the Star Wars section. The face projection stuff they use now? And just animatronics. Like, I was like, the Star Wars one, it looks like the actual actors are just up there talking and making eye contact, and you're like...

Yeah, because back in our day, it was just like...

Yes. But now it's just wild. A mouth moving with an audio track playing that didn't sync up. That was it. It looked like watching a bad Asian fighting movie. It's like puppeteering almost. It's dubbed. Yeah, dubbed. So they're fluid now? They just do everything? They do fingers move everything. And they're like, oh my god, you guys are finally here. Holy shit, we need to do... They don't say that. Hi, Charlie. Go fuck yourself. Holy shit.

Hi, Ray from Star Wars here. I need a fucking cigarette. Did you go make a lightsaber? That's the only thing I would ever want to do there. I didn't make the lightsaber. I did go to the bar. The lightsabers. I haven't been to the bar in the Disney world. Dude, the bar is gangster. The one time I went, they had a line that was like an hour and a half long just to get there. I'm like, dude, I'll just go to the bar outside of Disney property that's like a tenth the price.

You know drink shit and literally an alien behind the counter What would you like? He's also got a weapon But no isn't the lightsaber like 200

How much are those? I don't know, but if I'm going to Disney, I'm doing it. Dude, they put on a... That was an amazing experience just walking in there and be like, holy... It feels like you are in Star Wars. The bar, dope as shit. We just got right in and then you just have a line. They have like... Kids are allowed in there, but the drinks, they have hard drinks. I was like, oh, wow. They're not holding back on the booze here.

And you're allowed, they do cut people off at two drinks because they're like, eh, let's not have shit-wrecked adults stumble. That'd be dope, though. So dope. The bouncers are all dressed like Han Solo and Chewie, beating the fuck out of the parents. They always shoot four of us. They've got actual guns with, like, the pepper bullets in them.

It was a good ass experience. I was like, fuck yeah. Say what you will about Disney. There's a lot of reasons to hate on Disney. Trust me, I know. They do immersion so well in their parks. I love the craftsmanship. I love the creativity of it. Part of me will always fucking just dig that. They do. A top tier show. Which also goes into one segment I would love to talk about with y'all. The new Deadpool Wolverine. Wait a second. I'm sorry.

Did you see what the new Toy Story is about? Yeah. Have you seen the teaser for the new Toy Story? No. The new Toy Story 5? Is that what we're on? Toy Story 5? Toy Story 5 is they teased it, and the teaser is a picture, and it shows Woody and Buzz and all the toys peeking over, and it's a kid underneath a bed sheet clearly holding a tablet playing video games. So the new Toy Story is...

versus tablets or technology. So the toys are going to be trying to like compete with tablets and iPads and shit. I was like, that's going to be cool. There's going to, there's no way that isn't depressing. I,

Maybe. I hope not. I feel like that's the only way they can... Toy Story has progressively gotten more depressing. Yeah, the kid's going to turn nine and you just hear the Pornhub jingle. Fuck! You've got cancer, Andy! Andy, you have cancer! You've seen the meat candy video. Oh, yeah.

You never come back from infinity, Andy. It's like seeing the face of an angel. Anyway, sorry. Deadpool versus Wolverine. Did you watch it yet? Oh, yeah. Okay. So good. Everyone agrees that was just... Everyone. Literally everyone.

The box office, everything. They broke a bit. That is the highest grossing rated R movie of all time now. Or the fastest to break a billion, I think. Or is it highest grossing? It passed Passion of the Christ, which failed. That's hilarious to compare the two. Very complicated. Marvel Jesus.

they made the joke in the in the movie yeah like they knew it was gonna happen it's just like like i don't understand like you guys know the recipe like you guys have the comic books you have the cheat sheet all you gotta do is do what's in the comics and make a fuck ton of money you're like nope lesbian space witches that's what we're going with who pays to see this shit weird what if we made them happy

Imagine that, Borderlands. $110 million and made $11 million. Is it out? Yes. It's horrible. That's hilarious. I didn't know. 8% on Rotten Tomato. So I actually, somebody approached me to get one of my guns in that movie, and I said no. Good. Yeah. I just looked there like, oh, yeah, we can get this in there. Like, we won't even charge you. Just give us the gun. I was like, no. Like, that looks like shit, and I would actually be embarrassed. Don't f***.

There's no... I will try to keep this spoiler free. That's fucking hilarious, by the way. Good for you. That's awesome. I saw the cast and everything. I saw Kevin Hart, which I like Kevin Hart as a comic. I hate him in anything he's in. He's not... I hate any script he's given. It's trash. That was the worst casting you could ever do. They're like, hey, the big, tall, fucking hardened soldier, Kevin Hart. Bad. It's like, what? And then all the female actors, Kate...

Blanchette. Blanchette. She's a fantastic actress. She can't play a 20-year-old. Sorry about that. She's like, what, 50? What he said. She's fucking 50. And then Jamie Lee Curtis is supposed to be playing a 30-year-old.

They were talking about the borderlands. She's playing a 30-year-old and she was doing fucking probiotic yogurt commercials a decade ago. That's a bold strategy. She was old when I was in middle school. Right. That's what I'm saying. They dropped the ball. But I'm so glad both came out at the same time to show. It's like, hey, just fucking, you know what you can do?

Follow the guidelines. Or just have fun with it. Wolverine, Deadpool, literally just said they made fun of Disney during the movie. And then they just don't hold back the entire fucking time. And I love it so much. When...

Uh, quick spoiler when Captain America Chris Evans Chris Evans shows up and you're like, oh god it was so fucking funny He's like, wait, what? Flame on! He's like, what? Huh? I fucking, and that speaks to something It speaks to something that I preach about a lot where it's like, okay If you have somebody with a singular vision, like a creator, or a founder of a company, right?

That has a great idea and they like follow it through. Like you see any of it, like, uh, uh, Apple, uh, Steve Jobs, Steve Jobs. Thank you. Steve Jobs, Walt Disney, any of these people, like as long as they're at the helm, things will do well. But as soon as you give it to a board, it gets fucked. You should run it through 55 people that aren't successful and see what they think and make them happy. Sounds like a coffee company. Yeah.

As soon as you... As soon as... As soon as you... Honey!

As soon as you take the founders vision away and give it to a board of people that aren't successful shit up. It's like Ryan Reynolds always was like a singular guy who was successful in his own right, had a vision, wanted to fulfill it. The board tried to fuck it and he them back and release that trailer without their knowledge. And

and fucking like basically force them into giving the fans what they want. And then ever since then, they've given him what he wants. And he fights back when they try to fuck him. He prints money for them doing just Deadpool as Deadpool. And then they cut. I love that they cut apparently Marvel, Captain Marvel and She-Hulk. They were supposed to be in it and they cut those scenes. Good.

The fucking Marvel's movie that just came out? Whatever the fuck that was. They all fucking bombed and then you just had perfection. And even that movie had emotion. It had really good, fantastic acting. Hugh Jackman. That boy. Shredded as fuck. And the scenes with him shirtless and the reveal and everything is so fucking good. Oh, God. Cavalry. If we could spoil that. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I told you spoilers before. Fucking spoilers again. It's still good when you watch it. It doesn't matter if we spoil it. It's fucking great. Not to nerd out, but did you know that their healing factors are polar opposites of one another? One's based off of the death. It's like cells dying and having to repair. Deadpool's based off of death and Wolverine's based off of life. So Wolverine just immediately gets replaced with brand new living healthy cells immediately. Whereas Deadpool gets replaced with

also dying cells, but in a different phase of death. So like all the cells that Deadpool regenerates with are like cancerous cells that are also dying. Um,

So they're literally like yin and yang as far as life and death, but they're the same in that they can both never die. So Deadpool is constantly dying and Wolverine is constantly healing. Constantly living and have the yin and yang aspect in that they're both perpetually immortal on opposite ends of the spectrum. That's kind of cool. Do an FI scene in the minivan.

It went on for so long. All I could think about...

They have jujitsu in cars now. I've been wanting to do it for so long. That's all I could think about that entire fucking show. It's a Russian thing, right? No, it's like they do it in America. Really? Like, oh yeah, no, it's straight up. Like you start jujitsu driver and shotgun in a car. 60 miles an hour highway. No, I mean, the car is parked or whatever, but like it's a legit jujitsu match starting buckled up in a car and they like, you're no, you're buckled in at the start. Oh,

So like part of the strategy. That's what I was thinking. That's part of the strategy. That's like some of the strategy is like literally trying to grab your seatbelt and their seatbelt at the same time so you can unbuckle yourself and they can't unbuckle. Oh, it's hilarious. You can walk around, Connor. Show your face, dog. Thank you, buddy. You're welcome, dad. I love you. I love you too, dad. You're not a disappointment like my future children. I'm sure they'll be great.

They're gonna be fucking dope. What are you talking about? I wanna try one of these taters. Get it. Dude, they're so... The tater... You better like it because the tater man comes. Tater cheese. The tater man's gonna get you. The tater man. It smells like cheese. It's because it's cheesy. It's onion and cheese. I just picture a show in the bathroom. She turns the light off. She's like, tater man, tater man. I can't do it. Flips the light on. Can't say it three times. Yeah. Say tater man three times, your car blows up. It was that...

You just hear a boom outside. We were talking about it on the PKA podcast when I was on the other day. It was the guy who was huffing. It was a Reddit post of a guy who was huffing Spider Killer or whatever the fuck. He's writing in his journal. He's like, 11 huff okay, 12 huff poop man come. And just like the next slide is a shit bed. Yeah.

What the did you stop me from telling Cody at brunch? I don't remember. Oh, hold on. If I can do this really quick. Go ahead. You guys will like this. This, I, this was a bar in Tampa. What? When I was in Tampa, when we did me and Sav did that quick vacation, like we literally landed and then left and you guys went to Florida. I was like, Oh, what the fuck?

We were at like nine, nine o'clock. The bar closed at 10. So like, Hey, we'll grab food really quick. Just grab food really quick before they close. We don't want to be the assholes go there. They're like, Oh, uh, well, kitchen's closed. Like you fucks guy comes over. He's like, I'm so sorry. Here's two shots on the house. I was like, okay, that's a good start. I was like, we'll order two drinks then ordered two drinks. And he already three shots. Cause he did one himself with us, the bartender, uh,

So we all drank. What a guy. Dude, that's all I needed. And we had our drinks and then he brought two more. He's like, hey, I just made these. You want them? He just made shots. He followed the recipe. Just cooking them. Yeah.

Just brewing them. Rev up those fryers. We're making shots. So he's like, here, you want more? We're like, fuck yeah. And then he's like, hey, I made these espresso martinis. He brought them out. I'm like, man, his bill's going to go to fuck actually. Yeah, dude. And then he brought chips out. He's like, hey, the chef, he just cooked some chips and some dip for you guys if that's good. I was like, fuck yeah. Hell yeah. I appreciate it. American chips or British chips? American chips. French fries. Mexican chips. They were...

Fucking tortillas. Corn chips. Yeah. Okay. Tato man. Happy. Tato man. Very happy. Goes back. We have a couple more, uh, order one more drink, drink. And then we're like, Hey, close out the thing. He's like, Hey, don't worry about it. Um, just he, one cent. He just put it. One cent was our bill. He was like, just if you could give us a Google review, that's, that's it. I'll cover. So you tipped him 0.02% two cents. Exactly. I was like, no,

One cent still. Daddy always told me. But District South, fucking District South and was it Tampa?

Do you remember the guy's name? It was like two J's. Wow, he made an impact. Two J's. My brain is also... Was his name JJ? Multiple... I can't come up with another name that's got two J's in it. And seven shots in one name. Yeah, it was like Joseph, Joey, sorry, sir. John, there, there. Jingleheimer, Schmitt. Go give some Google reviews. I just want pictures of Spider-Man. I was just so happy. I was like, holy shit.

Joshua! I was right! Ha! Joshua and Lewis. Not two J's. One J and an L. Close. It's close in the alphabet, I guess. But holy fuck, like... There was a famous expedition. Almost named that. Yeah, I remember. Literally.

It's okay. King Trout got it. I'm fine. One cent. I was like, oh, man, you guys are fucking dope. And these guys had no idea anything. Like, they didn't know nothing. They're like, what do you do for work? I was like, just dumb shit. Dumb shit. I drink and I know things. And at that time, I was shit wrecked. Sav, I've never seen her so shit wrecked. I saw her shit wrecked the other night. She was way more shit wrecked.

Oh, bro. Yeah. Oh, dear. Oh, the Kiwis got... Yeah, they got her. Those motherfuckers...

Because they did a drinking game based off of every time Nick does this. Yeah, every time I got embarrassed in their opinion, they did a shot. They were fucked up 30 minutes in. That's what they were doing shots on. I was hammered. It happened every other sentence.

I'm like, I've known you for a long time. I don't know if I'd ever say I've seen you truly embarrassed. They were literally doing like any time I did this, which is just like my normal state of being, I think. You're the thinker. They decided to do a shot about it. I can't help it. I'm sorry. What was on the agenda? Wait, we had a couple. We were talking about. Sorry. Yeah. Brunch. I was telling something to Cody and you made me stop talking. What were we talking about? I told you to write it down. Oh, I thought that was a police officers in UK.

Oh! The uniforms are there. Oh my god, have you seen this? The rant. Because I was like, oh, is it Hugo Voss again? Cops? No. Okay. Cops in the UK and I think it was Germany, but for sure the UK. Pictures just came out that cops are starting to wear like fucking chainmail headdresses because of knife attacks. There's SWAT teams going into buildings wearing chainmail because they don't have guns. They're just worried about knives. That's level four armor in the UK. I was about to say, we're just worried about...

Everything's just regressing like in the chain mail. We're going back to Pykes, homie. We got to Kevlar and now they're like, no chain mail. Oh yes, the police showed up. I just want to see a trebuchet hit a fucking apartment building. In America, we have the Claymore Roomba. In the UK, we have hot oil poured over the second floor. Nature is healing. Motes are about to become meta again.

Bro, the UK shit's wild. You saw them like they're talking about extraditing Americans. I've never laughed so hard my entire life. Like, dude, like our group of friends is better armed than the entire UK police department. And I'm not even saying that ironically.

I looked into it because I was going to do a video on the whole zombie knife thing for Fat Files. And the way the UK law enforcement departments work is really funky because you have your normal patrolling police, your constables, and they're just rolling around, not very armed. Maybe pepper spray? Yeah, like pepper spray and a fucking nightclub or whatever and a taser. But like...

The way it works is like if somebody has a weapon, like say you had a fucking machete or something and you were like having a mental health episode in the UK, constables would like surround you and their job would be just to keep everyone else away from you so you can hurt anybody while they wait for a tactical fucking SWAT team to show up. Whereas America is just like, no, literally any street level cop would be like, Hey, please put the knife down. Yeah.

Yeah, really quickly. Unless it was a female cop. They would just roll up and shoot you no matter what. Sir, buckle your seatbelt! Cody, it's like GTA. It's like GTA going from one star to four immediately. Cody, would you want to expand on when Brandon got pulled over? No, fuck that. If you were in the woods alone, would you rather run into a grizzly bear or a female cop?

I don't know if this helps the question at all, but do I have a gun? That makes it worse. That's the new trend you just started on, TikTok.

sorry you don't have to answer that it's okay I already know my answer I know I'm picturing in my head this shot it's like reaching back up here big

It's a cut to Cody? I'm just thinking it's a cut to Cody in the Revenant. I made the right choice. He survived that one, to be fair, in the Revenant. Don't appear big to a female character.

That's a shirt! Dude, you can't say that when I'm taking a sip of a drink, dude! That's a shirt, Cody! You need it. Don't appear big to a female. Fuck. The survival advice is all the opposite. It is. It's like a black bear. Oh, fuck.

Oh, God. Sorry. You just have that checklist of things. To be fair, that's the same with a male cop. You just ran up on him like... Probably not going to end great for you. Oh, my God. Oh.

I had a dream the other day. Remember when Steven Seagal had a cop show? Oh God. Yeah. I had a dream that him and Cody were partners. It was the funniest shit on the planet.

The whole time I was just being like, oh god. Cody was just hungover the entire time. Stop. Stop. To be fair, he wouldn't get out of the chair. Stop wrist locking people from inside the driver's seat of the cruiser. I just love in your dream, Cody was hungover. Art imitating life?

Oh, fuck, dude. I'm so happy with today. That is the funniest I've laughed since the New Zealanders. Dude, those guys killed it. We've had some bangers, like banger after banger after banger. Fucking y'all beautiful humans out there love it too. You guys liked Faith? I know it'd be dope. I can't believe that they brought a fucking their own toaster because they thought Americans didn't have toasters.

Well, to be fair, they were right with this house. I mean, this house doesn't count. We literally use it to film podcasts and drink alcohol. Man, I've never looked over there and just seen the sea of booze on that countertop. Yeah. It's fine. Don't worry about it. It's for the guests. You could kill any homeless guy with the amount of booze on that countertop. Irish whiskey? Of course I would. I might do one too. I will say it was... Oh, speaking of which, it was actually hilarious for me because I just happened to... Oh, hello. Hello.

All the boys. I parked my Cybertruck somewhere like downtown San Antonio. Like just to grab something real quick and get back in. And I got back in and I didn't realize until like I walked back to my car. There was a homeless person that was sleeping on the ledge. Like right next to where I was parked. I thought you were about to say the ledge of your truck. Because it's got so many edges on it. It was just like the raccoons breaking into the back.

But no, I'm just sitting there. I'm like, man, me being in a downtown, like downtown type of layout, getting into a cyber truck while a homeless person sleeps next to a shopping cart right next to me. That is like, it is cyberpunk as fuck. This is like a cyber dystopian, like critique on capitalism.

I'm a popular opinion. And it can pull itself out. So you're like, ew, it's so close. Ew, brother. You can't drive this. I can't decide. I don't know that Cody will have a strong opinion. I feel like you should have to have a special license to drive a Cybertruck, to be completely honest with you. No, because I won't get it. I'm just saying. Like, look, if I need a special license to drive a truck with air brakes...

I feel like a 7,000-pound vehicle made out of jagged edges of stainless steel that goes 0 to 60 in two seconds should maybe have some qualifiers behind it. To be fair, if you buy a fucking Raptor and just load it down with 5,000 pounds of lead in the back, you could do that. Still not accelerating as fast. Well, yeah. Not even close. It's a fucking skill issue. It's also not made out of sharp edges at all.

It doesn't matter. Although it's really cool that like, I guess the doors are bulletproof. That's kind of neat. Apparently none of the fenders are. I didn't, I never cared. I'm not getting shot at. I don't fucking care. In America, we, I wonder, I wonder if the Europeans can't comprehend. This isn't an issue in America. I wonder if SDI would buy a cyber truck so we could shoot it and test it. What? They could use mine as long as they replace the doors.

I mean, if that's a standing offer, I'd do it. What are we talking about, boys? Oh, God, we're doing that? People shit-talking SDI. Let me check the list. SDI talk. Oh, there it is. Oh, shit. Oh, no. I've been thinking about doing this video for a while on the B channel. Just doing like, hey, we need to talk about SDI. But, you know, what better place than to do it here when I'm not prepared to do it? But I want to do it now.

No. No, we do. I want to talk now. No, we do. This is... Okay, so if you don't know what we're talking about, at first it was way worse because I think Trout... Trout! Of course. If you say his name two times, he appears. Tater Man. He's on the back of the...

Poop man cum. The original thumbnail is what you've seen that I've seen, which is... I'm glad you think that's as funny as I am. And they switched it. I think that might be a different video. I looked. I think it might be a different video on the show. They probably just did the beta test. These are run different thumbnails all at the same time. I might be talking on my ass, but I swear I saw it. Either way, they ran his face in the first three seconds. Is it that one there?

Yep. But they didn't have that. So the original did not get it. It was his face off to the side, and then it said it's SDI scam, and then it did the autoplay thing. So they switched it. Got it. Okay. So originally it was just Mike's face and everything, and I didn't see. I don't look at who's playing. It's just a natural like, oh, okay.

Grantham is video. So I scrolled and it started playing. Grantham starts talking. So I was like, oh, this is a fucking... It's a Grantham video. Literally what I thought. Oh, yeah, because they did open it with that one. Yeah. So I was like, oh, this is fucking weird. Weird. And then going into that and then it switched. So I was super caught off guard. I didn't know what the fuck was going on. And that's where I was like, wait, hold on. I text you that day, remember? I was like, what's this about? Oh, yeah. And I was...

We're fucking really going there, huh? Here's the thing. I think SDI sponsored one video of mine over a year ago for like 15 seconds. It was like nothing. I don't really have any attachment to SDI at this point whatsoever. And I was like, I mean, well, fuck it, maybe. I don't know. I looked into them for the 15-second ad I did two years ago before I was relevant, and they seemed fine. But fuck it, I'll watch your entire video and hear you out. And every complaint they had...

apply sure i mean it applied to sdi but it also applied to every other two-year degree on the fucking planet because they were like you know if you graduate from sdi you're not going to be a master gunsmith you know if you get a two-year degree in fucking anything somebody won't hire you immediately because of it yeah no shit like i don't why didn't my masters in medieval arts pay out

To be honest, I looked into this a long time ago because I heard people bitching about it, especially with the whole GI Bill thing. Yep. I mean, this talk's been going around for a while. And I looked into it and whatnot, and the conclusion I came to was, look, SDI is one of the main sponsors of the channel. And if they drop me because of this, then whatever it is, it is what it is. I'll find money elsewhere. I don't really care. Yeah.

Like I always say my real opinion like when I'm talking in like situations like this I say my real opinion whether or not it's you know popular I'll make money on it. You know you know what that makes you it means you actually back what you support who crazy golden tigger like I'll do fucking old and take will also do like a raid shadow legends ad and like you know what if you want to play raid have fun to

Mobile game. Who gives a fuck? If you want to do SDI, if you're making a life-changing decision, I guarantee you're going to look into it.

Please do your own fucking research. You're going to learn, and if you have an SGLI bill, you're going to get fucking paid. SGLI? Much different thing. GI bill. Oh, that's the one when you die. That's a real acronym. Yeah, but I know it's a real acronym. SGLI bill is when you die? Yeah, I think so. Okay.

I thought they were like a fucking stolen valor right now. I don't even remember what it... SGLI is like your next of kin kind of shit, I thought. I think so. 200. 200. But my whole thing is like... My whole thing is like, if you think that you are going to learn everything you need to know about gunsmithing to get a real career and be able to open up your own place or whatever, based on a two-year internet degree, you're fucking retarded.

But if you have no other choice, like if you're in a situation where like, hey, I can't move halfway across the country to go to a gunsmithing school and like dedicate the time to do three years doing hands-on stuff. But I'd like to at least get my start in it and I'd like to like learn basic stuff that I just – I don't know. Then sure, that's a great spend of a GI Bill, most of which people don't fucking use anyway. The part that – that was like the part that pissed me off is like there was a ton of comments of people that were like –

I never planned on using my GI bill, but this was like an accredited program. So I got to take essentially two years off, get paid, like get to party, do whatever, get a degree in something that I was interested in. And then I got to, you know, go do whatever after the fact. And now I can go to machining school or whatever. And like, that's fucking cool, which I think is fine.

And then... Yeah. Is it not a value? Like if somebody were to show up applying for a job at your shop and they had a two-year...

like program they had gone through, would that not be of more value to you? Can I see somebody here real quick? Yes. July. I raised my hand. It's the host of the host. Yeah. Hi. Uh, so what I always say is I don't give a fuck about your paper. If that school motivates you to go further and you research and you develop past that, that is what I want.

as an employee as a business partner anything like that because that shows initiative and it shows drive that piece of paper i don't give a fuck about like most of the guys here don't have none of does anyone have a college education i mean i have a couple of two-year degrees but guess what i'm an expert in nothing shut up jake jake fuck you lawyer jake where did you go notre dame are you still a practicing attorney sir

That's why you knew Condoleezza Rice went there. The chick has a degree. The hunchback of the unsub house. Fuck off. We start beating him up. Loudly crumpling chick bags in the background. But that's the thing. I've never hired off of a degree ever. I don't care. I care about your practical experience. And that's what I try to tell people. With SDI, it's like, yeah, if you want to just only do an online degree while you're doing other shit, you're doing other things while you get your GI Bill, doing at least something with it.

and then get some practical experience. Intern at a gunsmith shop. You will never, ever be able to substitute real-world experience for shit you do online. You gotta do both. You gotta do shit in tandem. What do you mean I'm not gonna be an expert after I do a two-year online course, Brandon? Yeah. God damn it. Well, that's another thing me and Connor were talking about the other day. They're like, well, you know, you could just learn everything you learn on SDI, like fucking on YouTube. It's like, yeah, you could say that about literally anything.

Imagine how I feel going to fucking history school! I know. I was gonna call back to the joke I made one of the first times I was on here with you when you were like, I'm going back to college to get my degree in history and I was like, what are you gonna go work at the fucking history factory? Yeah, exactly. He's just Britain history. Packaging it and shipping it out. Who have college degrees that they do not use at all. I don't have one. Granted, I worked a fucking skilled trade for forever and now I have a bullshit made up job. But, uh...

And it's wonderful. But I feel like I'm okay in history. I have no degrees in it. It's your own volition. You've chosen to learn something you may not have had the chance to learn otherwise. Harvard has fucking lectures for free on YouTube. You can watch right now. They also sell courses on Taylor Swift. No,

No, but they also have free ones. Yeah, no, literally. I took a sociology course from Harvard online that would have cost me, I'm assuming, $10,000. I think my whole thing that like, this is where I get my fucking ass chapped a little bit is when people say like, is it a scam? It's like, okay, well, it is no more a scam than any other fucking college. Yeah, like literally, unless you're going to engineering school,

The doctor. Doctor, nursing. Yeah. Or to be a lawyer. No. It's the same shit. That's my advice I give people in person. Like, if you're not getting a degree in, like, if you're not trying to be a doctor or a lawyer or maybe an engineer. Yeah. Same shit. I don't, I feel like your time could be spent better elsewhere. Joe, what degree do you have? Video game development. Video game development. I did not know that. How many video games have you developed?

- Fuckin' none. - Guess what show does fuckin' do? Social media and business div- - What?

She does not use an HR degree ever in this podcast. I fucking promise you, you don't. We just learned she has an HR degree as a whole. Can I talk to you after the podcast about the things Eli has made me touch? You told me to talk to HR. I'm just kidding. Talk to HR. Oh my god, a woman speaking? Hold on. Hold on. Cody.

Was it at 76% strength? Then it's appropriate.

I knew you were getting out of here. Eli's like, get a butt cheek on here. Oh, I was going to tap out. Cody, you got to stop saying retard so much. Go talk to HR. And I just punched her in the face. I don't know. She came back to me and said, everything's fine. Yeah. I was like, where'd that black guy come from? I just, I can't wait for the moment. The people threw an encyclopedia at me. He's in the background. He said, for legal reasons, I'm supposed to say that's a joke. That's a joke. I'll just say Minecraft.

I'm going to say two things that seem kind of contradictory right now. But like if I for the people who are talking shit about SDI, like there are legitimate reasons to say that like you don't think it's the best option. Like I understand that there's a lot of reasons to talk shit legitimately about like college degrees in general. And like I'm one of those people that is like a proponent for like, hey, dude, if you don't need a college degree, like maybe seek other options first. First, like first off.

But also, the people that have doubled down on shitting on SDI and they've made it part of their personality, I can't wait for them to go through this podcast and try to cancel us next because we had an ulterior opinion. Fucking bring it, first of all. We have a great track record of almost bringing down enemies of the podcast. Well, the annoying part for me is like... And governments. People in general, all people, I don't care what walk of life you're from, everybody loves to be a giant killer.

Everybody wants to be David going against Goliath. Goliath. I love Goliath, dude. There's always the constant... Geishas Christ. Everybody's willing to hop on the bandwagon of trying to get rid of something huge all the time. So if somebody...

If you've never cared about somebody's opinion until they started shitting on somebody else, you should reevaluate whether or not you should hop on that bandwagon. Because if their entire bandwagon is just shitting on other people, it's probably not great. Let me tell you the lowest hanging fruit with social media is shitting on things that are popular. If you can't be interesting on your own, like this is not an attack on anybody in particular. This is just like in general, like this is just a rule that I've noticed. I've been doing this for fucking over 10 years.

If you can't get popular doing anything else, you shit on things that are established because what is the old saying? Or show your tits. Or show your tits. That's true. Try it, Nick. You should give me a little fucking areola here. What is it? It's like you talk about me because if you talk about yourself, nobody would listen. Yep. It's hating on others for no... That's why you're not successful. If your sole purpose in life is...

It's holding yourself back. It is shitting on others, shitting on your boss, not saying like I wasn't giving opportunities. Other people had it better than me. If your most popular video on YouTube of all time makes it to the number one spot after two days for shitting on other people. You have a fucking issue of what you're doing and that is the problem. You...

Don't fucking do that. That is why you are unsuccessful in life. Your main focus is why do they suck? Why did they hold me back? Instead of what every motherfucker at this table has done, I got to do better. I got to do better. I got to do better. No one at this table thought...

I'm sucking or that video didn't get views because X, Y, and Z. It was like, I sucked on that video. It didn't perform. I even at the gate of doing college like Brandon did is, hey, this isn't for me. How do I be successful in this field? I'm going to be repetitious in this field. I'm going to do years, not fucking weeks, not months. This is years in this field in order to be successful. Cody fucking DM me at 18,000.

on I think 18,000 on YouTube. Yeah, 18 to 20,000 on YouTube. I want to hear that. I've never heard the origin story of how you two even met. I actually want to hear this. Yeah, I've never heard this. Wait, for real? No, I haven't. Yeah, so we had like, okay.

We've had, I'll have Cody tell it, but just for before we tell that it is Brandon. I met you at how you weren't at 30 K 30, 40, something like, guess what? It wasn't like, well, they're holding me back. Oh, the algorithm's fucking me. None of that shit mattered. It was, I want to be successful in this field. I'm going to continue. I'm going, I'm hungry. I'm fucking hungry. I'm hungry. What's your future book title? Oh yeah. You're not shadow band. You're just boring. Yeah.

That's it. That's fucking it. And if you're not succeeding, it's your fault one way or the other. And I know that's kind of like victim blaming or whatever fucking... No, do that. Seriously. You should see failure as an opportunity to improve yourself. If you're not doing well...

Like in your state of life, it's been that way for me. Like aside from all the internet shit, just in, you know, when I was a fucking contractor, like running my own business, it's like, if I, if I didn't have customers booked out through the winter, there was something I was fucking up. It's not, it's, you know, I need to get myself out there in one way or another. It applies to all aspects of life. And the woe is me.

like self-pity shit i have a childhood friend who i love very dearly but he loves any and every excuse to blame everyone but himself for anything that goes wrong in his life and it is it's a miserable state of being it i just can't i can't fathom living in a self-created world where everyone is out to get you because that's not the fucking case say it

What? Say you should have been an electrician and not a carpenter. Say it. No! I know that's where you're going. Say it! I wish somebody else would have picked up after me. That's what he's trying to get me to say. I wish I could have walked onto a job site and just left my fucking mess. Break the fucking drywall. God, fucking electricians! Fuck!

But yes, the always me self-pity shit will get you nowhere in life. Seriously. My first instinct has always been if I've ever failed at something where other people succeed, my first instinct is to ask, what did I fuck up that they got right? No. And I don't understand. Yeah, it's like, obviously it's the world's fault, not me.

If you're doing that, you are fucked and you are going nowhere. No one will remember your name. I will say that outright. Because you're a race, class, creed, how you're born doesn't fucking matter. We're actually the most – we are way more ethnically diverse at this table than the average social justice warrior conference. I can say – I'm like I grew up with seven people in a 600 or 700-square-foot house.

Poor as fuck. We had mice and rats. We're like, and guess where? And I dropped out of high school. I love that. I dropped out of high school because I fucking hate school. Yeah. What age? What year? It was my senior year. I was like, fuck this. Okay.

Your senior year? Yeah. You were on the last lap of the mile and you're like, fuck it. Yeah, I was like, eh. What did you do after? Well, they said I have to do another... They said, okay, you have to do one more year of school. So you're going to have to repeat your senior year. I was like, eh.

yeah, it's not going to happen. You red shirted for a year. Yeah. So I was like, got it. I'm dropping out. I'm going to go get my GED, got my GED. And then I started, Eli's got a GED. I got the GED, good enough diploma.

I did that and then military and then military is like hey I'm going to continue to learn continue better myself and the only reason I am where I am not I self-taught everything from videos to business to camera and now watch it because you're a dumbass fucker we're just saying something because like

Every professional YouTuber I know, as soon as they see you and they have a new camera, they walk up and they're like, Eli, here. Do your thing. Do your whole autism thing. They just hand him the camera. Cody didn't even say anything today. Cody just went like this and handed it to me. I grabbed it. I was like, bro. That is one thing I will say about you over everything else is that like,

God, this just feels like the gang does self-improvement. But no, you are always thirsty to learn shit. All I want. I'm calling you a thirsty hoe, I guess. I'm the thirstiest of hoes. It makes me so happy. And then seeing all you guys still, it's the same thing. It's driven...

And being around individuals that not fucking kill me. If I hear excuses, it kills me. Fuck you, Eli. I'm still mad at you. For what? I filmed half a video in your studio one time. I filmed 80% of my Ching Lee video in my studio at home. I filmed the last...

30% yeah 20% real but like after editing it was like 30 to 40% editing fixes at all or whatever but I like filmed the last chunk in your studio because I was here and I needed to get it done and like I had fucking a hundred comments Eli's got a way better setup talking me like oh Eli's got that good audio damn it

You can't give them the good good or else they'll never come back. I know. But it's like we're finding the craft and finding business partners. Show is my favorite example of this. You have an individual that has a HR degree. And a Powerpuff Girls shirt. Yeah. And video game development. She doesn't touch it. Guess what she fucking slays? Social media, business development, and...

I mean, those two things. And then I don't know the other shit. If you have a high enough IQ, you will slay at any profession you actually put time into. It's drive. Period. It's literally drive. I will like more than degree, more than anything. I don't care what your fucking education is. I've hired and fired a dozen people. I don't care what your education background's like. Like, I care how much you want to learn. I care how much you're willing to adapt to a new environment. I care how much you're willing to put in. Sweat equity matters to me. Oh, yeah.

Like we have Jake, we have Finn. This entire team is built off of sweat equity. We've all done it. We all came here on our own volition. We all came here with our own shit. Like that's crazy concept because everyone struggled through it. And then if you have the opportunity from one of these individuals that you get to work with, it's learning and then continue to be like, okay, I need to be even better than that person because

At this job. To impress them. You should impress the individual you're working with. That's how you get fucking raises. Maybe not in corporate world. Even then I think you will fucking fly up the chain. If you do that. Because that's like show. You start at $800 a month. She's well past that. And owns part of the company. Because her work ethic. She has no degree in social media. Raise your hand if you regret that.

She's raising it so high with two hands. Oh, Jesus Christ. She's quitting right now. She left. That is me. I also am part of the company because I make dick jokes. Come. Come. Dick. But even then, it's great to see, like, everyone has their slot in how you operate the business. And that's the most... Like, for fucking this...

Can we talk about it? Shoes. We can talk about it. Can we talk about it? Wait, what? Editing fixes everything. Go ahead. Shoot flip-flop. We have some fucking sweet-ass shit about to come out. But it's like we know each person in the line of how they will push it and how it's marketed. And that is like you have two individuals with shoes.

I love it's white people with shoes and Mexicans with flip-flops. My favorite part is like the chocolate line. I've never realized that until now. Jesus Christ. Holy shit. Actually pretty funny. It works. It's kind of like class warfare. Coming to Pepperbox. Oh yeah. Dude, and now we have all these channels coming. Ah, I love just hard work. If you want to be good in life, fucking work hard, learn your craft, and

Don't think you're the best at it think somebody else is way better at you and you want to catch them That is how you will be successful. That is how you will develop I'll tell it a really quick story that I've never told before I was on a plane to Matt Carriker's house Actually the plane land the plane landed at San Antonio Airport. It wasn't like directly at Matt's place. He wasn't that big yet But we was fucking I don't know six years ago, maybe

maybe five years ago. I don't remember whenever the first AR guys versus AK guys came out and he took it and you guys, you did the video, the, the AK guys versus AR guys. They kind of spooked my video. I remember that he, he, uh, reached out to me. He was like, Hey dude, I know we kind of like spoofed your video. We gave you a shout out. Do you want to come film some content? And I'm thinking like, Oh, this is a guy that I've watched for fucking ever. Like this is dope.

Yeah, no, I'd love to do that. This is fucking great. And I'm on that plane. I'm just like, I'm writing up my priorities because I'm still, again, very young, hungry. I haven't really made my name in the industry at all. How old were you at this point? 21, 22. And then how many subs? I don't know. Maybe I'm guessing like 30, 40K. So this is like...

This is life-changing for you getting that. Yeah. No, to me, this is amazing. I'm like, dude, I have been able to legally drink alcohol for months. This is a crazy experience for me. I've always wanted this. And this is what I've wanted since I was like 16. And I always thought there's a future in this. And I was just going to push for it, push for it, push for it. I was maybe, I want to say 21, maybe 22, somewhere in that time frame. I don't remember now, but yeah.

I wrote down on that airplane like list of things I want to do and like just goals like setting goals I was constantly listening to like audiobooks and things that would push me forward one of the things I wrote down was I want to be the biggest gun tuber ever and at that point you got to remember at this point I was gun tuber number 242 I was low on that fucking list now I'm like four that feels great

Like, okay, maybe I didn't fucking, what is it? It's the old saying, like, better to aim for the sky. Aim for the moon. Or aim for the stars. Aim for the stars and fall short than to aim for whatever. Aim for the clouds, land on the roof. Yeah. Yeah, that's exactly what happened. It's like, I just wanted to be here and I was going to work my fucking ass off to get there.

And that's, I mean, I feel privileged to be surrounded by you guys. So not to be gay about it, but you should have talked shit about other people to be honest with you. I feel like it would have helped you more. That was the cheat code. Apparently I didn't know that. So I know, I just want to say, I love my friends. Cause it's like, you say that you're like not to sound gay or anything. Cody sent a sweet message, which I love. I love you for the message. And then I sent a sweet message back. It's, it's always hyping your friends up, but it's also like,

Also, you're gay. It's ending. Building your buddy up with something to knock him back down. By the way, that's this group of friends right here. I love you more than anything. Cody's message was, hey, you want to come on my podcast? Sure. Next message. Hey.

You want to come back? Okay. Now I'm here. Good group of boys. It's the best group of boys. That's why I wanted to switch a thing. Every time everyone's around, I'm like, this is my heaven right now. Also, if we can talk about, did you guys watch the break? Politics. No. No, no, no. The fucking breakdancing Olympics. Oh, it was hot.

Did you see this? The kangaroo? The kangaroo jumps? Fuck yeah. I wish you guys could see what we're seeing. This is not fucking Chase. Pull this up. Did you guys watch it? She looked like

One of the Wayans brothers in the movie White Chicks auditioning for the breakdancing scene is what it looked like. This is Olympic level too, which kills me. You know what pisses me off about this is like that's in the Olympics, but Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu isn't. I think it was like a publicity stunt.

Where like somebody just sent in somebody purposely terrible so that everyone would be aware. She has a master's degree. She was dead ass serious. She's like, this is my artistic interpretation. That sounds like an artist. Yeah. Yeah. And when you read about the back, because now it's like people that have read about it in college and have got the college degree for break dancing or whatever the fuck it is, they're trying to defend her and be like, why would you be so rude to that person? It's like, well, first off, you look retarded.

Period. Second, what the fuck, Australia? How is that? I say any criticism with the same energy that I tell you on the whole modern art thing. It's a tax front. It's not even that. The fun part about the Olympics for me this year are like, have you heard about the fucking geothermal situation and everything else? Oh, God.

Oh God. What Nick? Have you not heard about this? No. Hit us with that. Oh God. So France is like, did you see all our faces? France is like super hardcore into the, like we need to reduce our carbon footprint and all this bullshit. So the Olympic village this year isn't, doesn't have air conditioning.

Which is like a big issue when you have half your athletes coming from north of the equator from like countries that never break 80 degrees in the year. And they were like, we're not going to have air conditioning. We're going to have geothermal. And like I have geothermal in my house. I'm fucking selling my house and moving because it fucking sucks that much. So geothermal is just like –

We're going to pump water into the ground and the ground is cold. So then cold water is going to circulate through your house and it's going to lower the temperature. Like my house is 70 degrees, but it's, it's a hundred percent humidity. So it's like it,

It doesn't feel crisp. Like you open the door to my house. It's like it's not crisp, cool air hitting your face like when you open a fridge. It's just like – it's like, okay, well, I'm not fucking dying anymore. But also I don't feel like I'm regaining any health from that experience outside. I can't save here.

Yeah. I can't. Enemies are still near. I'm still taking radiation damage and fallout is how this fucking feels when I walk in my house. I'm down to plus one. Yeah. Like that's how it feels. And they did that with the whole Olympic village. There's literally Olympic athletes that are, have been caught sleeping in a park.

near the Olympic Village just because it's cooler outside in the shade than it is in the Olympic Village that they've supplied these people with. Are they required to sleep there? I don't think they're required to sleep there, but that's the only option they were given. So it's like you can sleep in this hot-ass house or you can do whatever. So a lot of people have been super fucking pissed at France because they're not helping the best performance. Historically, that hasn't been great. The best performance of these athletes and...

Yeah, I don't... It's been kind of a shit show the entire time. German Olympic medalists very pissed at France. That's atrocious, man. I see a bad moon rising. It's... Yeah, it's horrible.

This Olympic games are fucked. And then like the medals are already like the people that have won Olympic medals are already like being rusty and shit because the, the gold Olympic medals this year are 1% gold. So they're like already tarnished and rusty after like five.

seconds wait what is that for real no the olympic medals this year i think i believe they are one percent gold so they were literally versus like 1908 like they were a hundred percent gold like it was a fucking gold bar you got for winning the olympics versus now it's like fucking like patinas after time literally a day as you're like it's patina after a day like there's olympic medal winners that have like

Post it and they're like, this is what it looks like after a week. Stimming right now to not explain why this is Woodrow Wilson's fault.

Please. Please go ahead. Oh, can we? Yeah, go on. Oh, we're going to talk about Woodrow Wilson and the Federal Reserve and why our money's not worth anything anymore. Yeah, we'll do that. And then why Nick held back on the World War II veterans about FDR. And then we'll talk about FDR. And then we'll talk about fucking MacArthur. Do you know how you sent that screen graph? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I sent that to Nick five hours earlier. Oh, yeah.

Me and Nick. The exact same screen grab. We were bleeding out of our tongues trying not to talk about why FDR is one of the worst presidents we've ever fucking had. You're like, you old man's don't. It wasn't that. It was one of those like, you know, these are American heroes, but at the end of the day, it's like. I love watching both of your faces because I was like. I was watching Brandon going.

Like Nick does his fake. I respect you far too much. Even try to have, it's like, uh, so I have, you know, my, it's like my, my grandmother, uh, is, is my Oma. You know, I love her to death. She's a old German lady. She's 92 this year. I could never argue with her about certain things that she believes, but my God, do I want to sometimes grandma, you're retarded. I need you to shut the fuck up. No, it's not that, but like, it's just, you know, it's just like, Oh, you've,

I bet you believe that. It was a different time, Brandon. She has a lot of things. She was a German civilian during World War II, so she has a lot to say about the Juden. It's like my grandmother in the Deep South. There's a lot of things she can't say. It was a different time. You don't want to hear about the rock fights on the railroad tracks, buddy. Jesus Christ.

Oh, Meemaw. What? What? Meemaw dumb that was. What did I miss? I'm wondering what I missed. The rock fights on the railroad tracks. All right. I genuinely want to know about this now. What, Nana having the rock fights on the railroad tracks with the other people? I think that makes it worse. Somehow this is worse than talking about it.

I came back ready to talk about MacArthur and you guys are like, that's some other shit. Cody's talking about the mud people again. The alternative alternative brain shadow legend's dad. Cody's just like, you know. I just love how he gave me ownership over that. But MacArthur now.

I talked a bunch of shit about MacArthur and now everybody has like a bunch of questions I saw I saw your last video you kind of like dug into him a little like a bit at all Why is that a little bit? I just I have zero fucking respect for him. I guess like so MacArthur Here we go. So today we're talking about so It's Mjolnir you fucking blast beamer

I just love how you slide away, though. Nick holds his hand and it flies into his hands like, he's the chosen one. General MacArthur is the most overrated general in the history of America by a factor that's not even quantifiable. It's ridiculous how much I don't like this guy and how bad of a general he actually was. So General MacArthur is in the Philippines when the Japanese initiate World War II on America, right? Yes. And General MacArthur gets an order from

To abandon the Philippines. So PT boat operatives, I don't know how much you know about PT boats, literally like wooden fucking speed boats come in and pick him up in the middle of the night and fucking whisk him away to safety while he abandons all of his men to die and face a baton death march alone, which I don't know how much you know about like, you know, people like, you know, like being in theater and then your leader just like,

Peace. Bye. I know that. Fucking figure it out. My lieutenant colonel quit. Go on. So like not very encouraging. So he just like abandons his men. And the counter argument to that is like, well, he was ordered by the president to abandon his men. Now, personally...

I'm against that. I'm like a big, you know, like captain goes down with the ship kind of guy. Like I, I don't know this for sure, but I like to think I would ignore that order. I feel like a lot of other historic people that I look up to would have also ignored that fucking order, but he didn't. I'm not the arbiter of reality. I don't get to choose morality. Maybe he values following orders over doing the right thing. And maybe that is the right thing. I don't know, but I,

Then you fast forward to the Korean war and he gets orders to fucking stand by. Like, so if you don't know much about the Korean war, like the North Koreans attack, the South Koreans almost take over the entire peninsula. The Americans show up, beat the North Koreans back, secure South Korea. At which point MacArthur is ordered to fucking, okay, chill. I'm going to, I'm going to negotiate a

A peace treaty between North and South Korea. That's what the president told MacArthur to do. MacArthur is just like, nope, fuck it. I'm going to order all of the American forces to advance forward into North Korea. Try to take over the entire peninsula. Get within 40 miles of China's border, which...

China is backing the North Koreans because they're all communists. And then China attacks, understandably so. Like imagine if Brazil decided to try to take over all of South America and then they stormed up Mexico and got within 40 miles of Texas. Like America would understandably.

right? Yeah. Seems reasonable, utterly fucking predictable. Some would say, and they attack. It ends up getting a bunch of Marines surrounded by communist forces, gets a bunch of fucking people killed. And then he literally just ignored orders because he thought he was going to be the guy that like made the decision to fucking defeat communism out of nowhere. And it backfires because fucking obviously, and then he never takes any fucking

heat for it right so then it kind of just sets a tone of like okay well he's willing to follow orders when it saves his own ass but he's also willing to disobey orders when he thinks it's going to get him glory and honor and it backfires the entire time and i don't like macarthur and neither do most world war ii veterans and neither does fucking anybody else that kind of like reads anything about the guy and uh yeah they accepted a really cool sword though

Cut to a compilation of him smoking his corncob pipe on camera because he refused to do anything without a camera present. Well, people fucking died. He absolutely wanted to do Korea, yeah. Which I know a lot of... It's like the stereotypical boomer thing. It's like, we should have just let MacArthur do Korea, goddammit. Which, you know, controversial. I talked to my grandparents. My grandpa was in Korea. Pause. Fucking... What happened to your glasses? Why am I wearing my...

Relax. I almost said a name. Relax. We can watch Unsub. Then you can leave. Jeffrey Dahmer. I wasn't going to mention any gun-tubers. You know, there are three of them off the top of my head that I can name right now who have the exact same pair of glasses. Love one of them. Biker Bayfield? No. Well, he's one of them, but...

No, my grandpa who was in Korea fucking hates MacArthur. Most World War II veterans and Korean veterans hate MacArthur. Yeah, well, and I was talking to my grandparents. Yeah, so my grandpa who was in Korea and his wife, my grandma. And like at the time... Scandalous. Your grandparents were married? Good God. War. War.

Go on. Don't you ever say that word about grandma ever again, buddy. But... Have you seen my glasses? Eli will be in my freezer soon enough. Well, you know, Dahmer only killed and ate gay men. Like I said, so you're going to be in his room. But no, he was hated at the time. They called him crazy and shit. And he wanted to fucking nuke North Korea. And they were like, hey, maybe no.

You were saying the boomers wanted to nuke Korea? Well, it's kind of the stereotype. In modern day, it's kind of a boomerism of, we should have let MacArthur fucking... Oh, like the, we just need to turn the Middle East to glass. Yeah, that sort of thing is what I was getting at. It's like MacArthur has all the negative qualities of Patton and none of the upsides, in my opinion.

Yeah. I agree. There's like all the character flaws and none of the benefits. When you watch the motion graphic display of... Oh, we're good. Push. And then you watch Trina enter. Yeah. Trina. Player three enters the battle. Well, that's the other thing. And then you just see Swarm. They were the America of their side as far as that goes. Oh, I...

That's my point. It's like he was ordered to stand down, violated orders. And like, to me, that's the entire reason why I don't like him. Like he's willing to follow orders to abandon his men in the Philippines. And maybe like, maybe that's his moral ethical code. Like he just follows orders period. And like, if that's it, like, I don't know if I like it, but like, I can kind of respect it. If he's just a dude that like, if he's consistent, I follow orders period. No. And like, if he's super ultra consistent with it,

I can maybe kind of respect it. But then Korean War happens and he's like... It wasn't good enough for Nuremberg. I'm violating orders to get glory. And it's like, okay, so you're not just a dude that follows orders. You're literally just a dude that picks whatever the fuck he wants to do that benefits him the most, putting other people at risk the entire time. And that's exactly what it is. And it's like...

What, like, what did you think was going to happen when you knew that China was backing North Korea and you were like, I'm going to take over the entire fucking Korean peninsula and put my soldiers directly on China's border and expect them to do nothing like the most predictable shit on the planet. Like if I tell Eli, Hey, I.

Hate you and I'm gonna murder you and your family also I'm gonna show up to your front doorstep with guns and 50 other people and expect you to do nothing and then Eli retaliates and I'm like, this is completely unpredictable. I have no idea why this one I feel shocked right now. I'm socially I would say that even if he was you know his he was so rigid in his obeying orders and

I disagree with that because all of American military history has been made by men who were told to do one thing and said, fuck that. I have principles. I'm going to do this other thing. I completely agree. I'm just trying to be like ultra charitable. I'm trying to be like ultra charitable. And he still fucks it up with me being as charitable as humanly possible. He still fucks it up. So when you were talking about following orders, Hitler, Hitler,

Same punchline. You beat me to the joke. I know. I saw that brewing in your head. I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no. Talking about how many upsides Patton had, what do you think about his idea that we fought the wrong enemy? I don't know about we fought the wrong enemy. I'm a pretty big fan of him saying, World War II ain't over. We should keep fucking pushing and fight them too. Because last I

checked. Here's the thing that pisses me off about this shit. Everybody likes to talk shit about, oh, America didn't fucking join World War II until 1941. You know who else didn't join World War II until 1941 on the side of the

Allies was of the soviet the ussr right little backwards even they were fighting fighting on the other The USSR is better than America because they joined World War two in operation on the on the on on whose side Oh one. Oh wait. They were on the fucking German side in 1939 1940 up until 1941 and then they had to switch after the Germans decided to

Fight them too. It's complete fucking nonsense. It pisses me off. Same reason I hate the Italians. Pick a goddamn team. Stop switching when you're losing. Yeah, and your tanks suck.

Your pizza is awesome though. No their pizza sucks dick. No, thank you as a food The Italians are good at two things. Okay semi-automatic shotguns and carbs. That's it. No, okay? Nelly can suck my dick

Have you ever bought a Vanelli? No, I can't afford one. That was like the fucking, what's it, barstool? You ever been to Nantucket? It's fucking crazy. Dick, have you ever bought one? I can't afford it. It's fucking awesome, man. The Turkish knockoffs are just as good. I have no authority. You're very wealthy? My friends are very wealthy.

Sorry about the turkeyotic. First off, wait, go back to pizza. What? I'm just still, I'm sorry. I'm just still upset. I fucked up operation Barbarossa. Yeah. You pointed it out and I got, I'm embarrassed. You embarrassed me in front of Nick. I know what you meant. I know what you meant immediately. You're Mexican. It's okay. I'm not supposed to know history. Oh, also fucking comment section. Fuck you guys. Um,

Everybody got all mad after the last time I went on a rant saying that it's illegal to talk about the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact. Like there were some people that were all butthurt saying it's not illegal to talk about that. Sorry. It's not illegal to talk about the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact in Russia right now. It's just illegal to say the wrong opinion about it.

about it. And you can literally look it up. - They got fucked up by Finland. - In 2019, they literally started arresting people for saying like, yeah, we were on the side of the Nazis. They started arresting me. It's illegal to have the wrong opinion about it. So go fuck yourself.

Did you tell the story about the origin of the name of a Marl Talk cocktail? I like more drunk, it gets more aggressive. He's like, fuck you, I don't think I did, no. Oh, no, yeah, it was from the- Hey, people who pay my bills, fuck you. Hey, you guys- Not 99% of you, just the 1% that came out of nowhere because of the shorts algorithm. Fuck you guys. Yeah. Fight me in the comments. I have sources. LGBTQ. What? We should pause the shorts.

No, we don't bring that up. We don't bring that up. We are not going to talk about that. But the Molotov cocktail thing. I don't think you talked about the origin. I love the fucking story of the origin of the name Molotov cocktail. Don't worry about it. This episode is like...

I just want to bring up, we started with Disneyland. I know. My son with autism. And now we're here. Go on. Man with glasses. Yes, I'm informed. You can tell because I have fucking glasses on.

I'm starting my own streaming service. It's called Salt Triangle. Feel free to go check it out. Let me tell a story. Show, run. I bet I can run faster than you. So, the Molotov Ribbentrop pack...

or whatever. Pact, yeah. You're correct. Give me your shot glasses while he tells this tale. We're doing halfsies because this is expensive. So that's not a halfsies. The Soviets were hiding the fact that they were very intentionally invading Finland and they were going to split it with the Nazis same way they did fucking Poland. Yep. They split up all of Europe. Yeah. The Winter War came as a result of it. We all know that. But the reason Molotov cocktails are called Molotov cocktails is because Molotov

the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was from the Soviet Union. He was the representative and they were dropping bombs on Finland and so I can't remember in what capacity, obviously this is before the UN, but they were talking about how, oh this is for me, people are gonna be so mad we're shooting this because it's very, very high quality Irish whiskey and thank you again. People who are upset is show. Yeah.

Say it in Irish What did you say Jake He said Winnebago Winnebago They were at Hey Shell in Ireland Do they call retirement accounts IRAs Or what's going on there I made that joke two years ago Wait Cody are you joining Cody's joining Cody needs a shot Oh shit

Cody smoked. I'll tell this Molotov cocktail story one day. I know some gold is going to come from fucking Trout. I want to find some shit me and Trout disagree on just to fight about it. Like some gold in the Swiss lake that we aren't allowed to look into? The Nazi gold in the Swiss lake? Look it up. Google it. You can do that. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Don't ask the Swiss what they were up to during World War II. I love my friends.

Damn, that's really good. Damn, it gets way better. It's so good, it's annoying. I genuinely feel bad about shooting it because it's a high quality video. Have you had it, Joe? Yeah, she shot it with us. Can we go to that bar in like any of the 800 bars in Ireland? Can we go to any of the 800 bars in Ireland that are literally older than our country and just get shit-faced and fuck off? What is the best bar in Ireland?

She's like Applebee's dude. You've ever been to Applebee's? They got two for one Appleritos, dude. Half off Appleritos. She takes us to Texas Roadhouse. I pictured the fucking Matthew McConaughey like, hey, you just go to get like a $1 Margarita. I'm not going to lie to you guys. I have a bucket list and eating at a KFC in Ho Chi Minh City is on it. I love that. Just to prove a point. You are so spiteful.

I hate it. So at the international conference when they were having this conversation about what the Soviets were up to, they had been bombing the Finnish, for those of you who still remember what I was talking about. And the representative of the Soviet Union, Molotov, said, no, we're dropping food.

on the Finnish people. Kind of like we do to Gaza right now. Well, except they weren't because they were actually bombs. And he called them, he said, much like picnic baskets. So the Finnish people invented a way to melt tank treads where you put, you might have to censor this, Chase, because it's technically creating a destructive device. Don't worry about all that.

Gasoline in a wine bottle. Cap that shit. Light the fuse. We all know what a Molotov cocktail is. Throw it. It melts the tank treads. Finnish civilians were destroying Soviet tanks. What cheese steel were they using to melt fucking tank treads that way? I think they were bound by rubber. Communism. Yeah, I don't know. Communism. And so the joke... We call this steel. It's rubber. This is highest quality Soviet steel.

It must have been made of the same shit that they used in the World Trade Center. Hijo de su pinche puta madre, I'm one sentence away. I have the most alternative reason to why I think that was a setup on the planet. So anyways, continue. Which part? No, wait, let him finish and then let him cook. So the finish said, we're just giving them a cocktail to have with their picnic. And they named it after Molotov.

Oh, that was the biggest struggle of my life. And it doesn't land as hard. When it's a 20-second long story, it's much more interesting when it's 25 minutes. I still learned something. Thank you, Dad. I really did learn something, too. So good job. I didn't know that. Yeah, that's where the Molotov cocktail comes from. We all know the story of Simo Haya, so there's the Molotov cocktail. Anyways, I shit-talked him so hard in my last video. Simo Haya? Oh, I know. I have a whole segment only on Pepperbox where I just shit on this guy. I don't shit on him. It's just like...

Because my newest video that I just filmed literally yesterday is on Carlos Hathcock. And every fucking time there's a Carlos Hathcock video, people are like, Simo Hoya is better. Wait, where can we find the extended edition? The deleted scenes where I talk about Simo Hoya are only going to be on Pepperbox. Is it Simo Hoya or Haya? Whatever. Potato, potato. Is he Japanese? He's Finnish. You're going to fucking piss him off. Half Mongolian.

I don't know. It just pisses me off. He looks full. Actually, actually, Simo Haya is better than Carlos Hathcock because he has more confirmed kills. And it's like Simo Haya has like what? Like fucking 700 confirmed kills or some shit? I think it's like in the 300s. Okay, so it's in the 300s. Carlos Hathcock has 93 confirmed kills, but in Vietnam, because they had just developed a scout sniper platoon, they didn't believe the kill count. So they were like,

The only way we're going to count confirmed kills is if it's witnessed by your commanding officer and one other party. Quick question.

What size elements does Scout Snipers go out in? Two. How many times does your commanding officer go out on a fucking mission? Fucking never. So, like, all of Carlos Hathcock's confirmed kills are from being on Overwatch duty on a hill. And he's still got 93 of them. That's my favorite part of your last video. Like, the super long video where you're just, like, the one kill.

kill he was super fucking pissed about internally. He wanted them to go back. Like, okay, there's going to be a plane that's down. They shot off the left wing and shot through the cockpit. It's going to be in this exact place. Go send scuba divers whenever you can. I fucking shot that plane down. And he was right. Pardon? He shot down a plane? No, no, no. This is my last video about Richard Bong. Oh, dude, I know. That's what I fell asleep to. Thank you for pulling that back. That beautiful video is...

It's fucking hot, isn't it? Ace of aces. I was like, my boy just has the softest of voices. Dick bong, homie. We FaceTime each other every night. We fall asleep looking at each other's faces. You hit the bong, you get high. Bong hits you, you fucking die. Dude, that dude murdered so many people. Go on. Anyways, so my whole point is like the confirmation difference between the two criteria is like, CMO Hoya was going out and just being like, yep, I killed fucking...

17 conscripts today that were running around with not snow camo in Finland. And they're like, yep, yep. This guy's a better sniper than Carlos Hathcock, who was killing Viet Cong snipers in the jungle, getting witnessed by his fucking commanding officer and three other people at the same fucking time. And they're like, well, he did kill more people. It's like, I mean,

Maybe, but hear me out. Like, there's quantity and there's quality, and I feel like they're... They were both killing commies, so... I mean, fair. 100%. I love CM Ahoya for it. It is stiff competition, but one of them is skinnier. All I'm saying is you have quantity and you have quality, and quality matters, right? You know what I'm saying? Like...

Khabib Nurmagomedov's got like what 29 and 0 in MMA he's got 29 fights so if I go to a fucking middle school I still bet against him every time at a principal if I go to a middle school and beat the fuck out of 35th graders am I a better fighter than Khabib no it's absurd

Oh, mashallah, he will win. That might be your greatest joke. God damn it. I just picture like Muhammad Ali. I still bet against him from principle. Muhammad Ali would have been on the same team. Muhammad Ali...

Unpopular opinion. I like Muhammad Ali. I respect him. That's a very popular opinion, I feel. I don't feel like that's an unpopular opinion. A lot of people shit on Muhammad Ali, like, oh, he dodged the draft. Oh, for that. I actually have a fair amount of respect for the fact that he was like, look, I'm not down with it. It's who I thought your kid was named after. No, it was named after the guy that his dad was named after. But either way, people are like, oh, he dodged the draft. I don't fucking like him. It's like, I mean...

Yeah. Is it the decision that I would have made? I like to think not, but also like... To be fair, take those people and ask them who they're voting for. Yeah, for sure. But like, he's like, I'm not going to fight that war. If there's consequences, that's fine. I'll pay him. And then he stood his ground and he paid those consequences. He didn't flee to Canada. He didn't run away. He was like, that's the deal. I'll fucking do it. And he did it. So...

It's hard to not respect that for me. Rope-a-dope the shit out of people. When was he called up in the draft? Was that in the middle of his career? Because they would have probably just Elvis'd him. It was a little at the middle but slightly beginning of his career. But he was still like, everyone knew that dude. They wouldn't have tossed him in the jungle. They would have Elvis'd him. You came close. No, not Cassius Clay. Muhammad Ali. He changed his name. Because we were just talking about

Because of the draft? He became... I don't think it was because of the draft. Part of it. Is it really? Eli, I don't think I ever told you about this. I knew his mom.

What? Muhammad Ali? How the fuck did we do boxing? Wait, hold on. I met him. Hold on. How does this fucking nuke drop off? Oh, yeah, we were talking about this the other day. Yeah. You've met Muhammad Ali. I met Muhammad Ali, yeah. What? Your story first. That's objectively better. I hate my friends. They don't tell me the cool stories. No, I met him, like, very, very late in life. So he...

Had the shakes? Yeah. No, I made a joke about it that somebody picked up on a few appearances ago of me, but he was fully mentally gone by the time I met him. He was sitting in a wheelchair. He had Parkinson's, which I thought was super odd at the time because his Parkinson's wasn't the way...

Normal people I've seen with Parkinson's will you know just have you know their muscle contractions and tremors and stuff He was almost like it was like he was boxing. It was the weirdest shit. Jesus Christ On that note I was trying to make a joke about him establishing the jab and then you basically said it was true Anyway on that note when I was fucking training every day for boxing I would I noticed that like when I was sleeping I would like fake jab in my sleep and

That's what you told your girlfriend. I had to tell her something. I was asleep. I'm dead fucking serious. I would wake myself up. At least the muscle spasm of the punch. I would do that same thing. That's fucking wild. But you knew his grandma? No, I knew his mom. I arm bar Mrs. Fat Electrician in my sleep all the time. I bet you do. That's why I beat my wife. You wake up.

I just figured you. Just full fucking T-pose. I haven't figured out how to put it into words, but like I'm trying to come up with a joke for like there's a lot of couples that both do jujitsu. Like my wife doesn't do jujitsu, but I have a lot of like other people that I teach where the husband and the wife both do jujitsu together and like they're both progressing at the same rate and they're both very good and

And it's like one doesn't trust the other. Domestic violence just turned into a very technical grappling. It's like nobody actually got hurt, but also somebody could have died in their sleep. They just like kind of like trying to get the dominance position, get the underhook. No, but a bar I used to go to in Raleigh back when I lived in North Carolina, the guy who managed the place, like he was very good friends with Mama Ali.

So like we just, we would randomly go out to the bar. I was like, Oh, Hey, have I introduced you to mama Ali? I'm like, Oh yeah, no. It's like, it's like the fourth, fifth time. Like it just, she was just there. She was just like a staple of the bar.

That's awesome. It was kind of wild. Side note, have you guys seen Big George Foreman, the movie? Not yet. I love his story. I watched it on the plane coming here like a year ago, like right when it came out. I'm dead ass. You need to watch it because it's legitimately my favorite fucking boxing movie of all time. Like it beat out Rocky Balboa. It's my favorite fucking boxing movie, dude. It's so good.

It's been out for years. It's so good, dude. You know, I've never heard of this movie. His movie is so amazing. Big George Foreman. Dude, his story is fucking insane. Did they talk about his love of grilling? Yeah. Like legit. Oh shit, like part of how he makes his money. I've never watched it. I know it's part of it. I feel like you can't not talk about that. They're like, hey man, you- Deadass series. No, they do. It's such a good movie. It's so good. Because that's a surprise to how much money he is making. Yeah.

because he didn't know yeah oh huh dude because how much when it first released would you guys do it with me like because like he's i think he's still a preacher in texas oh bro we're still alive can we go to church that's a gang i want dude gang goes to fucking church with george foreman would like make my hole i want to go to a sermon that that guy that guy preaches i'm down he is such a

badass and nick boxes him it's gonna be such a good episode bro you know how good you gotta be to just have you watched his fight this all of it i've watched all of them 40 years old 40s heavyweight world champion it's insane he goes into he's quit for a while and he's like i have

to make money. He is 75 years old now. Yeah. So he came back. This is a dying time. I don't know. I don't want to fight. He'll still fuck me up at 75. But I want to go and sit. I feel like there's no win. There's no win. I want to go sit and just hear him preach at church. I don't care. I just want to go and see it.

Okay, we're going to do the gang does Houston's three hours. The gang does church. Will you frame the verbiage? I haven't sat through outside of my gang fights. George outside of my wedding. I haven't gone through like any religious ceremony or whatever since I was like 10. If I get to do it the first time with George Foreman, I'd be so happy.

This is my dead ass series. Nick gets baptized. I've never been baptized. If George Foreman baptizes me, I'd be fucking ecstatic. We're doing it. We're doing it. Dude, this... Cody or Ambrian, this guy came... He quit for like a decade. Yeah, he quit for like eight to ten years. Do you guys know the story? No, the story of George Foreman. He quit for a fucking decade. Do you know the phrase, the rope-a-dope? Yeah. Okay, so...

this story he was hot shit he'd never been beat he went he won the olympics and like he faced a ton of shit from uh the black community because he was like you know waving the american flag and shit after he won the olympics and this is like obviously at a time where cancel culture was huge civil rights was a much bigger issue right popping off yeah twitter huge anyways

So he fucking, he faced a bunch of heat for it, whatever. And he ended up fighting Muhammad Ali as the heavyweight champion. And the rope-a-dope happened. You're like, you know what the rope-a-dope is? No, explain to the audience. So the top rope, Muhammad Ali identified that the top rope was looser than it was supposed to be because you tighten them. And he went in and George Foreman was known for just being a fucking power puncher. If George Foreman hits you, you fucking die.

Is that the famous clip of Muhammad Ali doing that? Yeah, shit like that. So Muhammad Ali identified that the rope was looser, so he dodged a bunch of punches, let George Foreman tire himself out, and then he went and finished George Foreman. And then after that, George Foreman tried to make a comeback, but he ended up retiring and became a preacher for fucking years. Like a decade, he became a preacher. Poor. Like, he...

He started a youth center to try to help give back to the community. And he ran out of money because his finance guy dicked off all of his, like, fucked off all of his money. And he wanted to make all his money back. So he started boxing again after he'd been a preacher for a decade. Just like not training for a decade. Not training for a decade. Came back as a 40-year-old man and won the world heavyweight boxing title again.

As a fucking 40 year old to win money to keep this youth center open for years, for years. Like I think, I think it's open to this day, but I'm not sure. But like, yeah, he fucking ended up keeping it open, won the world heavyweight title. I think he's still a preacher. Last I checked.

And it was incredible. Homeboy came back. And when you watch him come back and learn, he did cross guard. Yeah. He was a cross guard, which is this brand. This is how we do this. The mummy. It was called a cross guard. It was very rare in boxing. Homeboy would do this. Bop, bop, bop. Walk forward.

If you watch this dude... He just fucking held his hands out like this. He let you punch him, and then he punched you back, and then you died. Yeah, literally. You watch videos of him hitting a 300-pound bag, and you watch it just fucking swing. You're like, oh, shit. And one of the most famous videos is him walking up to a dude and slugging him, and the dude just crumples to the ground. He walks up like this and goes...

Homeboy just and dies. He just kills him. Yeah, dude, it is insanity. And that's where the George from a grill. Everything came from from that last step. This is after he's broke. He has no money. He comes back into boxing. He's like, hey, I can't support preaching or what I want. I believe in. I'll go back. This is the only way I can make money. And then he goes back.

And he fucking slays. And then like the George Foreman girl, which is hilarious. He was like, how's it doing? It's like, ah, man, you're like worth like $6 million. He's like, yeah. No, like he walks into the bank and they're like, they're

They're like treating him different. And he's like, what's going on? It's like, sir, you're worth like $12 million. He has no idea. This shit's going. Yeah. Jesus. It's such a good story. The movie's incredible. The story is even more incredible. What's the movie on right now? Like what streaming platform? I watched it on the fucking airplane, but it's big George Foreman. It's,

Legitimately, my favorite, not just boxing, but fighting movie. It beats out Rocky Balboa. It beats out A. Rocky. It beats out Warrior. No shit. It beats out all. It's my favorite fighting movie, period. It's so good. So what is it called?

Big George Foreman is the name of the movie. And the actor in it did such a good job because they had the same actor. Oh, yeah, that's like last year. They had the same actor being him when he was young, going through the Olympics, fighting through heavyweight championship, losing to Muhammad Ali. And then he like wears – I don't know if he wears a fat suit or if he just puts on a ton of weight or whatever. But like that actor did such a great job in that movie. It's so fucking good, dude. Jesus Christ.

he was a big big person bro when he won the world heavyweight title he looked like a dad like that dude was walking in with new balance shoes and putting people in a fucking coffin he was incredible bad oh it's so good so what are we doing on sub fight so i haven't i haven't really what are the odds we can get george foreman on the podcast i think pretty pretty pretty good

I think at least 50-50. Bro, if we get George Foreman on this podcast, I'd be so fucking happy. I will sell so many fucking grills, dude. Dude. Dude, like this. 40-year-old man just putting people in the hospital. God damn. Dude, he hit like a...

Tank chase i'm gonna send you this also the guy he's fighting does not look like he's ready to fight george foreman these Yeah, a world can get watch this this is my favorite part bonk bonk dude Dead i've died and then the uh, uh, we're good we're good

Dude, at that weight, if you watch him punch his 300-pound heavy bag, it is the most terrifying thing you will ever see. Because it is, you've hit like a 100-pound punching bag. You get it moving. This dude, when he hits it, it's like, and it's 300 pounds. Just shaking the thing. And you're like.

that dude would fucking murder me if he hit me. Like, there's not like, I can take one. The other thing is like, everybody's used to like UFC and shit where there's like science and all this other shit involved. George Foreman came back as like a 40 year old man and won the world heavyweight title. And his training was literally like picking up a baby calf, a fucking cow. And just like walking up a hill and then chopping down a tree. So it was the literal like rock,

Rocky IV. It was the real life version of Rocky and he actually fucking did it. He watched that movie. He was like, okay, that's good training because the movie said it.

Gotta do this for Jesus Christ. And then if you do it and then punch a dude in the face, they die and then make the money. Be strong, hit hard. And then all his kids. My favorite part is, do you know his like six boys names? It's like six or nine. How many kids boys does he have? Yes. It's like six or nine boys. What are the names? Um,

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. They're all George, George II, George III, George IV. That's not how it works. If the British can do it, so can he.

It's my favorite part. He's like all of them are named George George Foreman the sixth I was like man. This is smart dad movie like George. They all you've never seen the movie Hey, listen here five. You've never seen the movie. No, no you need to watch it. It's so good I know what I'm doing tonight

Oh, fucking love. Also, side note before we close this out, Edge of Tomorrow. You guys watch Edge of Tomorrow. It's one of my favorites. Yeah, dude. Tom Cruise. Yeah. And what's her dick? Emily fucking Blunt, right? Dude, the manga. Sicario. The manga it's based off of. That's what you know. The manga it's based off of, super different. Like, really? Yeah. It's really good, but it's still like, the manga is full metal bitch. Her name, uh,

Emily Blunt. Emily Blunt sucks ass in Sicario. Yeah, that's what they called her in the mangoes. Emily Blunt. They called her everything is so closely related to how the movie played out. It was really cool fucking reading it. I was like, huh, never. Ending completely different. He has to kill Emily Blunt. Is that where you have to read left or right? Yeah. I don't know about it.

Sorry. He has to kill her. Benicio del Toro would have just actually killed her in the end of Sicario. Sorry, I'm on Sicario now. Speaking of him, sorry, what's his name? Benicio del Toro. What's that movie with him and the guy from Men in Black?

Tommy Lee Jones? Dude, that's like my favorite movie ever. No country? No, no, no, no, no. No, the one where they're like... Tommy Lee Jones is like the knife trainer for special forces. Oh, where they're in the Northwest Pacific woods, right? Yes. And he like... Hunted. Yes. Oh, such a good movie. Thank you, lawyer Jake. Oh, I love it. That's your name?

I haven't seen that. You've never seen hunted? Bro, it's so good. It was like Tommy Lee Jones right when he was on his kind of decline from like, he was a little older there, but he's still like good enough to fight like knife fight people. And he trains Benicio Del Toro to knife fight people.

And so Benicio del Toro kind of, he's like a CIA black ops assassin. He goes off into the woods. And so Tommy Lee Jones has to hunt him in the woods. Yeah. Like the CIA dude, Benicio del Toro has a, like a mental health crisis and he's just going to murder everybody. It's more R rated Rambo. Yeah. Essentially. And they bring in the dude that trained him how to knife fight to go in and track him down. And like,

It's not based on a true story, but the characters are based on real people. And I know who two of them are in real life. Wait, what? That I can't tell you on the podcast because they still work for the government. This is based off a real story? What year did this movie come out? This came out like 10 years ago. I was a child. No, no, no. Over 10 years ago. This is like 2004 or 3. This came out a long time ago, but I literally...

The dude that Tommy Lee Jones is based off of in that movie, the knife trainer, there's one person that's beat him in a simulated knife fight, and I know that dude personally. No shit. Uh-huh. That's kind of cool. That's fucking dope. 2003, dude. We're over 20 years old now on that movie. I'm old as shit. I'm 30. I used to watch that in high school. I loved that movie. You're old as shit. Yeah, whatever. I'm sorry. How old are you?

literally like a year and a half younger. Yeah, see I'm old as shit. Eli, how old are you? Like 7,000 years old and you still look younger than me? Alright.

Eli still calls the Old Testament the Testament. Anyways. All right. So we got to watch hunted and then we got to watch George, big George Foreman. Okay. That's your homework for the next week. Guys. You sat down to pay. Yeah. Was the water cold or no? I want to splash the water. So I feel like the water is colder in Texas. Every time I sit down to pay. It feels so good.

I feel like we need to start giving our fucking viewers, like, homework. That's what I'm saying, dude. What's the homework we give them? Big George Foreman and hunted. This has been one of my favorite podcasts because it's like, we started with Disney. Everything else now George Foreman and now homework. It feels like Fight Club when they give out homework. It's like, also, bully the UK government. Like, please. Punch one woman. His name was Robert Paulson. That...

Bob from Fight Club is my avatar, actually. Meatloaf? Meatloaf. No, the dude with the bitch tits. That's me. Meatloaf. Bob had bitch tits. What cum story? Which one? You're going to have to be way more specific. Yeah, which cum story? Huh?

Oh! No, we were talking about the umbrella. Oh, that's not the story I thought of. The umbrella. The CIA umbrella thing. What the fuck did I miss? Yeah, we were talking about KGB assassination attempts. No, I was talking to Ryder. K-I-B. K-G-B? Yeah, golf. Whatever, they're communists. I don't care. I went to check on my son. Son? And apparently they talked about injecting cum. No, this was before we started injecting cum. What is going on?

Go on. I am so lost right now. Before we started the podcast. Why did you bring this up? Shows just remember she's like the cum injection.

Oh, which one? Yeah. Before we started the podcast, Nick had actually asked me if I could recreate the CIA assassin heart attack gun. Because I want it. Bad, actually. Have you ever seen this? I know. I think I know the story. That was the one where they were like walking across a crossway. No, dude. There was a fucking... There was a fucking... Like a government...

Fucking interview like a meeting. What do you call that a committee an investigation? It was a congressional committee It was a congressional committee that was talking to the CIA about shit They've done and the head of the CIA comes out was like yep. I

We have a heart attack gun. Here it is. And he fucking pulls it out and he waves it around. And it's a 1911 with like a, it looks like a fucking six X scope on it. And he's like, yeah, it shoots a, it shoots a dart made out of ice. That's coated in puffer fish toxin that makes you have a heart attack and

It's the only time it's ever been seen ever. And they're like, yep, nope, this is a thing. We have it. We can just make it a heart attack. Yeah, they just asked him about it and he's just like, oh yeah, here it is. Yeah. What the fuck? Just fucking whips it out. And he's like, here's the heart attack gun that we developed. It shoots fucking ice darts. One looks super bored. And one's like, what the fuck? Shit. He looks like the Super Church guy. Super Church? Oh, yeah.

I know who you're talking about. The jet guy. The wind of COVID, I push it away. Be on, baby. Damn, they just whipped it out, huh? Be on, baby. Look at that fucking optic on it. Okay. How does it keep the fucking ice frozen inside of it? You don't need to. They're like, it's accurate within like 200 yards. I guess it's cold in Russia. It gives you a heart attack and you die. The end.

Well, the umbrella thing was the same thing. It just pushed a little pill into you. And then it just like, we did that with like just a normal person one time, by the way. What? You know that? A normal person as in like, I was checking my son. Yeah. No, like a 25. I, again, Google this. I'm drunk, but I'm fairly confident that a 25 year old showed up to the fucking hospital with a broken arm and the U S government injected him with a uranium pellet that emitted radiation and

And just sent him home and just to see what would fucking happen. That sounds refreshing. Ended up killing the guy. That sounds like basically just the Tuskegee. Tuskegee. Yeah, thank you. That was exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Tuskegee experiment except it was with a white guy. Speaking of that, I'm working on a video about the Tuskegee Airmen. Oh, wait. And like my favorite one. Yeah, go ahead. So is Spielberg. The fighter pilot. Which one? The one you just did.

Dick bong we're going down the hole the hour-long video. Yeah. Yeah, what about dude? That was that's the one I fell asleep to good. Did you guys watch his dick bong video? I would have never known you fell asleep to him dude all the time It's only been like the third time this episode eight times. What about no I did I did about the video though Yes, that is fucking insane. Like the guy was a she

Yeah, a dude just... As you pointed out, as one dude just watches a plane fly over, he's like, that's what I'm gonna do. That's it. Right there. His whole life. Yeah. And the dude just rises to the occasion and destroys everyone. And dies younger than any of us. I didn't talk about it. So I didn't talk about it in the video. He died at 25. He died at 25. So I didn't talk about this at all, but like it's...

It's super sad. So Dick Bong is the most well-documented person that I've ever researched. Every fucking thing that Dick Bong did is highly fucking recorded. It's insane how much documentation this guy has for his record because he was the ace of aces when they were like,

Like, it wasn't like Vietnam or GWAT. Like, it was beneficial to record everything and tell everybody about it. So, like, he is... Everything he did was super ultra fucking recorded. And he ended up...

His commanding officer, his name fucking escapes me right now, this second, because I've been focusing on Carlos Hathcock for so long. But General Kenny, sorry. General Kenny actually wrote down early on in his career that he was concerned about Richard Bong because he felt that he was such a nice, kind-hearted Midwestern kid. Pause. Pause. Was this yours?

That was mine. I thought it was a chip and I went to buy it into it. It's not a chip. Nope. That's my old, my old packet. Sorry. A hundred percent. Okay. I went and I thought it was a chip and it wasn't a chip. Connor, we're not going to call that Eskimo brothers, but what are we going to call that? Eskimo cousins? I was like, Oh, that's a B that's me. I'm going to put it back. Okay. Go on with your story. General Kenny actually wrote early on.

I hate my life. Early on in Bong's career, General Kenny wrote... I'm still recovering from that. I could have never told that story. No. The comments would have known. Anyways, General Kenny wrote that he was concerned that if Bong ever realized that the planes that he was shooting down had people in them, he would lose his heart and wouldn't be able to do it anymore. And...

This like that was like years prior and then he went shot down 40 confirmed enemies and Like as he was on his way back after downing 40 enemies. I

He, like, on the way home, witnessed another fighter pilot shoot down an enemy. And he, like, saw the dead body of the pilot in the Japanese Zero. And he, like, went off and fucking puked in the bushes because he realized that he had killed 40 people. It was, like, super fucking sad. Oh, shit. He didn't know there were people in the planes? It wasn't that he didn't know that there were people. He didn't have to personify it. In his mind, it was...

It was literally just like he just wanted to be the best pilot and he was going out there out flying people. Like it was well known that he wasn't good at shooting. Like he couldn't shoot at a good distance. But he would get so close to the enemy planes that it was like point blank range and he would shoot them down. And then he like witnessed somebody else shoot somebody down and like saw the aftermath and like –

It like hit him that like he had actually killed 40 people and he had like went off and fucking puked in the bushes after the fact that he had became the ace of aces. The dude that shot down more than anybody else. And it finally hit him that like it wasn't just objectives. It wasn't just winning a game. He had actually killed 40 people and it was like super hard on him. And he fucking went and puked in the bushes and he got sent home. Right.

It's kind of fucking sad. Well, it's like kind of Ender Games. If you haven't read Ender Games, it's that same ideology. Ender's Game? Yeah. He doesn't know. Spoilers alert. The book's fucking 30 years old at this point. It is a child that is brought up to be a general, and then he is playing games. And once he finds out, all the adults celebrate that last victory in the video game. And then he's like, oh, fuck yeah, I won.

And they're like, you just saved humanity. This wasn't actual video games or a simulation. This was actually war. You were controlling people the whole time. Have you ever read that book? Well, that really sucks if you're going for achievements. He was raised from the age of a child. Five.

Playing a video game of like Command & Conquer, basically, a Command & Conquer video game. Except he found out that somewhere along the line it quit being a video game and a simulation. And he never realized it, but he was actually controlling real-life troops on the ground that were going out. In space. I mean, yeah, troops on the ground in space, whatever the fuck. But he was controlling.

controlling actual people that were taking out actual aliens in the video or whatever. But he finds out that like, oh shit,

I was actually controlling real people taking out real other sentient life forms at the same time. Have you heard that? I was sacrificing humans because in the last battle, remember, he sacrificed a lot of people to achieve the mission. Have you heard that? This goes, I'm going to sacrifice all my humans to get the D device there. Don't care. I just want to win the game. And then once it wins, boom.

all the humans are crying, celebrating. He's like, what's going on? This is a 12 year old kid. It's like you saved humanity. And then that, and then the PTSD of, hey, you killed thousands of humans, but you saved humanity hits. And that's how that book series expands from there. It's fucking dope. Have you heard that conspiracy theory though? Which one? Go for it. Hmm.

No, I was just going to say, I don't know how Bong didn't understand he wasn't killing human beings. He was like literally at the age of eight years old. He was a fucking farm kid in Wisconsin. And every day over this, like the 1930s, right? He doesn't have a TV. He maybe has a radio. This kid fucking wakes up, does farm chores in Wisconsin, goes to school, comes back, does farm chores and goes to sleep.

He saw an army plane flying overhead and it's because the president, Calvin Coolidge was taking his summer vacation in superior Wisconsin. And it was the mail plane delivering mail to superior Wisconsin. Shout out Calvin Coolidge. Yeah. One of the best presidents we've ever had. He decides he's like, I want to be a military pilot at the age of eight years old and does fucking everything he can to be the best pilot possible. Um,

So like literally his entire life was just like flying and like being the best at flying and that's it. And he just like – it never dawned on him that like, oh shit, there's other people. It's not that he wasn't smart enough. Think of this, Cody. Think of this. You go and you have no – you're talking about not the age of information. You're talking about the age of –

Hey, this is how this kind of works. And you're having fun. You're chasing your dream. You're shooting other people down. Yes, in a plane, but it's not registering. You see the explosion of the plane. You're like, I got another one. I got another one. I'm just chasing the high score because his goal was to be the ace of aces. It wasn't. He literally just wanted to be the best flyer. He didn't even give a fuck about his record. It was insane.

But that's why like general Kenny is like, they literally, he was the best. Like he was, he was borderline. He was borderline autistic about just being the best pilot period. Dude, that is autism at its highest level. When you're at eight and you're like, I want to do that.

Go ahead. Sorry. No, I didn't want to say it's like some form of fucking autism, but he can't look at a plane and think it has sentience, and it's just like doing that by itself. But in his mind, I guess it was. But it was literally just like he'd never seen the aftermath. He never had to come face to face with the idea that there is a dead pilot in every plane I ever shot down. Exactly. And it's a weird reception. I remember watching the first...

blown up dude because like shooting dude completely different from blown up dudes like watching a bomber when he blew himself up and i remember we had to go get feet his foot landed on the fucking or is this that the footer had landed on and remember we brought it down i was like oh what the fuck that's weird huh no my point is he knew what he was fucking doing

And I'm like, I'm okay with him killing all those people. Like, fine. That was our enemies. But it's like, come on. There's some point where it's like... I think there's a difference between knowing what you're doing and having to come face to face with it. It's like the first time I ever shot a fucking animal ever.

Was like, you know, there's a difference between like, oh, it's, I see it in my sights. Boom. It's down. Okay. And then going up and picking up the bodies, a different experience. Like for people who've never hunted, you never understand. He never had to do that. Right. Cause this is in the Pacific theater. So every plane he downed went down in the ocean. Like he never had to see the aftermath. It was just like, yep. I shot down the enemy period, the end. And he just got to move on and keep progressing through it. But the first time he actually had to see like, oh shit, there was a person inside that plane. Yeah.

It's a different kind of time. That doesn't compute with me. So when you have like a fucking person with his brains blown out, like halfway in the cockpit and you're just like, Oh wow.

I did that 40 times, but I've never seen this part of it. So, like, for example, Carlos Hathcock. Not that it's wrong. No, no, I'm not saying it's wrong at all. I just don't understand. So, like, for example. Even registering, before you say that, it's registering what you do, especially if, like, Homeboy had to be on the spectrum. Sorry. Yeah, no, for sure. Listening to, from eight years old, watching a plane fly overhead, and you go, oh, okay.

Like I can picture right doing that show where it's like, this is my life. I have to be the best. I have to be the best. I have to be the best. And then you have that kickoff of emotion. Cause I didn't understand why a lot of my friends went through PTSD or anything. Cause I was like, ah, I went to the same thing. What's going on? We went through terrible shit. Never registered in my head of like, we went through like terrible shit. It was like, oh, why are people handling this different?

But it's one of those weird kickoffs. I kicked it off where a lot of people just kicked it on. I think he did the same thing until he seen it firsthand. So Eli, when was the first time you ever recognized PTSD? Oh, when I got back, it was, I remember having, um, my PTSD was different cause I had a nightmare of, I didn't have my gun with me. And I remember, um,

I was like, why isn't my gun with me? It was driving to the base while I was getting out of the military. Not exfilling. It was getting out of the base or getting out of the military and driving back to base. I was like, where's my gun? I thought I was going to get in trouble. I was like, oh, it's not there. Then I had nightmares about...

Not having my gun with me is the weirdest thing. It was the weirdest dreams of, um, it was like a war dreams in my head. It was soldiers. I was, I would be fighting. I'd be doing something else like going restroom or something. I sent my gun against a wall and I'd be like, Oh, I gotta go pee. I got a shit, whatever. Put gun against tree, put gun against wall.

And then I was fighting futuristic soldiers for whatever reason. And it would be like these pods coming down, hitting. And they deploy. And I'd be like, fuck, I don't got my gun. I got to run to a house, grab a gun, and fight back. That was always in my head. But that was always my thing. And then also, I have to check my house for locked doors, make sure everything's good.

alarm settings, but mainly locked doors. I lock every fucking door in my house and my bedroom door and doors leading up to my bedroom. That's how I always do it. But I think that's where, where I don't have that emotional response of like, Oh,

person dead, I feel bad about that. It's that part. It is the hypervigilance part of PTSD where it's like, I had to make sure everything's locked. Guns ready. That gun's ready. Okay, we're good to go. But do you feel like there's a disconnect between what you experienced and somebody who was in, for example, a fighter plane where it's like, whenever you were in combat, it was person to person. It was very personal. You were infantry versus somebody who was in aircraft and not to...

anything they experienced, but they were disconnected from the finality of whatever they did. I think that might be this for me in my head, it would be like, Oh, we're,

I don't know why it goes to this video game setting for me. At that time, those don't exist, so you're just shooting planes down. That's your head. You're like, okay, I am defeating the enemy, and they're dropping out of the sky, and I am landing. I am going back up. I am defeating the enemy. I don't see blood. I don't see the

You'll see it, smell it. Yeah. It's like a Call of Duty with the drones. When you're doing the C-130 strikes. Yeah. Yeah. C-130s, just like twice hot kind of missions. So, like, I literally, I did the Dick Bong episode, and then I just did an hour and a half long video on Carlos Hathcock, like, Flux still editing it. I literally finished filming it yesterday. So, like, Carlos Hathcock has 93 confirmed kills and 400 probables. Wow.

But Carlos Hathcock talks about how in his mind and his, in his point of view, like there was only one person that he was fighting. Everybody in every Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldier in Vietnam, when he was there, their name was Homer Hamburger period.

And it was like, it was the same dude that he was fighting day in and day out. And he would just keep winning against that same guy over and over again. Yeah. So like in his, his only, I had to like, I spent a ton of money and bought, I think they, they quit printing it in like 2001, but there's only one official autobiography signed off by him. And it's written by two dudes that were like really good friends with them. But like in the book, they talk about how like every, every,

that he faced to Carlos...

The dude was Homer hamburger. Doesn't matter who it was. Why was it? It was, it was, I think, like, I think it was to like disassociate from what was actually happening. Humanized. Yeah, exactly. Like he's waking up every day and it's like, I'm going to war with the same dude over and over and over again. And I'm winning over and over and over again against the same exact guy. Super smart to like, not have to. It's the same reason. A lot of like the, we were talking about, I'm sure we talked about this months ago, but like the, the reason the military uses, uh,

you know, thermals now on a lot of shit. It's like it reduces, they did a study on how that reduces PTSD. That's why we actually shoot targets to eat. E type silhouettes is not, that's why they make it human shape is for that reason. Well, who's,

Hey, we've got a decent type of soldiers. When you go deploy, you have to watch videos of, Hey, these are what they do. This is how you train. So it's, and not, not to diminish it at any point, but like every time you read a book from somebody like that, like either Carlos Halfcock or even Mikhail Kalashnikov, I've bought like two different autobiographies basically of, of, you know, his life, um,

And they talk about, you know, a guy who indirectly, very indirectly, is responsible for the deaths of millions of people.

And just the way that they rationalize that in their head, it's very interesting in the way that like just the way people deal with things. Dude, that's what I find really quick before because I want to hear what you're saying. It is that difference in how I seen a lot. I mean, like 29 friends have committed at this point and watching. I don't understand why in my head. I'm like, oh, they like all experienced the same thing. Exactly. You think so?

oh yeah i was with them like that's what the hardest part for me so in my head it's like there's nobody that sticks out in your mind like that experience more than any other you're just like these are we all went on the same missions all experienced the same thing that's where it's crazy to me it's like all of us were in the exact same firefights like everything to a tea and you have 28 29 people that have committed the sewer slide

And I, whatever dumb shit YouTube makes us call it. But yeah, so weird. And I will never register why I'm like, okay. And that's where I think I was like, okay, maybe my thought process is different. But for 29 of those dudes, it registered difference. Like this was how they interpret it and what they went through. And that's, that's the weirdest thing to me. I'm like, I don't get that. Cause that is, it's something I can't grasp. Who's, who's the guy that shot, um,

Osama. Oh, Rob O'Neill. Rob O'Neill has, he's on a podcast and he talks about it and he's like, he talks about like shooting one dude in particular where he like raided this guy's house and he was in bed with his wife and he like burst in this dude's house at night with guns, nods on. And he's like, you know, the, he's got his gun pointed at the guy, the dude's in bed with his wife with an AK on the nightstand.

And Rob O'Neill's talking like, you know, he's thinking his head like, I got you. Don't reach for the fucking don't reach for the gun. And the dude reaches for the gun and he shoots him. And Rob, like in this podcast, like has to rationalize to himself, like, you know, fucking, I wouldn't have done anything different than what that dude did in that exact situation. Like if somebody burst into my house in the middle of the night while I'm in bed with my wife and I had a gun on the nightstand, I'm like,

I would have reached for the gun too. And he's like, I had everything in common with that dude. And he's like, you know, would that, if I had met that guy at Starbucks, what do you have been like? Would we have fucking like to one another? Would it be funny? Like karaoke or whatever, but yeah.

It is one of those hard things. Yeah. I remember Beeson pushing him out of the way of the front door because I was like watching the window. The dude ran up with his AK to the front door because in the middle of the night, it's 12 at midnight, and you hear somebody trying to kick in your front door. What the fuck are you going to do? Yeah. You're going to run in with your gun. So I was like, push Beeson. I was like, hey.

And I started calling American. He put it, he put his, he gave his gun to his wife. He's like, but what a gentleman. Yeah. But, and I was like, that makes sense when you don't know somebody is kicking in your fucking door in the middle of night. And that's why I was like, Hey, maybe we shouldn't do this shit. Cause this is like, you have innocent dudes. That guy, that guy gave us booze. He wasn't a hardcore Muslim. He had booze.

And then he gave every other story. He's like, everyone's good here. It was like, well, there's IED holes everywhere. I don't believe that. But you gave us booze. So that's dope. But what the fuck? And that's one of those conversations you have to have. It's like, whoa. Okay. Well, this is not the right approach on some of these, like what he went through. It's like, Hey, okay. I just burst into somebody's house. I aim a gun.

Are you going to grab the fucking gun next year? And I made a bunch of completely rational decisions. Yeah. Hmm. And that just, that's how it plays out sometimes. I just want to point out this entire fucking podcast started with Disneyland. Dude, everyone's going to be like the retention times. We're going to feel like,

Oh, those guys are deep. We're not retarded. No, no, no. I'll just say, have you noticed our beards go from like looking good to homeless? So much truth in that statement. I think on that we can close it out, Mr. Cody. All right. Are we doing an after show? Yeah, I think let's do the after show. Fuck yeah. Do a little 10, 15 minute after show for Patreon.

Okay. Everyone, thank you for coming to the unsubscribe podcast with the boys. We got Eli Double Tap. We have Nick Fat Electrician, Brandon Herrera, the AK guy, myself, Donut Operator. Thank you so much. Please join the Patreon after show where we just lay back and talk about more fucked up things. Kisses. Mostly communism. Communism. We'll see.

You know me. You know me.
