The podcast features a lively, humorous discussion combining travel anecdotes, cultural observations, and personal stories. Cody shares his experience in Japan, noting the strong yen value, friendly locals, and the eerie pricing of homes near ghostly sites, which raises questions about the reality of Japanese hauntings. The group explores internet culture, including how misleading video titles and comment sections can distort content, and reflect on the absurdity of online reactions. A central highlight is a detailed retelling of John Lewis Barkley’s heroic WWI actions, where he defended a tank against enemy forces for hours under extreme conditions, demonstrating tactical skill and endurance. The conversation also touches on historical military practices, such as ear protection and formation tactics, showing how early war strategies still influence modern thinking.

Gentlemen, we meet again, why is this happening? It gives me so much anxiety about how are you this f*cking stupid? That's how the f*cking game works! Holy sh*t! People have been falling for the Norwegian print scam forever, like. Nigerian. Yeah, whatever. This is Alexander Skarsgaard. This f*cking scam in your grandfather, that is money. Say hi to me, lie. He's racially ambiguous, branding. His hair is f*cking fabulous. Don't know, a dark joke is positioned. And there's a fat electrician who comes to unsubscribe. Okay, everyone ready? Yep. The game gets cracked. Three, two, one. (clicking) I've seen that film. Mmm. The game cracking? Yeah, that one's so good. Quartub. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the unsubscribe podcast. I'm joined today by Eli Double Tap, Nick is in town. Brandon Herrera, myself, don't an operator. Thank you so much for being here. Who's in town? (laughing) Who's in Paris? (laughing) That's me. No, hopefully, now that you've chopped all your hair off, hopefully people will stop confusing us. No, this is happening. Okay, confused for you three times in Japan. Brandon, you're talking a lot this episode. Yeah, no. Cody, can you start the episode? Hi, everyone. They think we all look alike? I still like Matt's dad confusing you both. That's the peak of confusion. Matt's dad, a man who has met both of us several times. Yeah, Demolition Ranch's father came up to us and we were at lunch a couple of weeks ago and he came up to me. He's like, "Hey, congrats on your race." Yeah, for context, I am sitting a foot to come. He's right. He's scientifically next to me. We in Conner and we were talking about that. We don't know how that fucking happens. I never look at you both and be like, "Yep, brothers, Mexican and a white dude." He's gonna say, there's words I can say if he can't. That's true. Oh, and I can't say that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna pass now. Wait, what? How? You can say how? Sexually transmitted. Yeah, sexually transmitted racism for my Mexican. Oh, okay. Yeah. You can say too. Go for it. I don't know. It sounds right off. I think I'm only allowed to say half of it. Why? Huh? Handle's adopted. She's like a coconut. But she's like hella looking. Yeah. She's white on the inside, though. Yeah. That's because of you. No. Well, welcome to the podcast. Hey, what's up, bitches? Oh, I fucking, this one tastes really good. Actually, it's the second one. Really good. This is really, I just realized that might be my first time trying it and it tastes really good. Yeah. Luminate and tea. It tastes like an Arizona iced tea. It tastes like an bleep out me saying that, though. Like, never let me say those words because they will see the fuck out of us. Really? They went after liquid death for armless Palmer, right? Yeah. That was part of the joke. You heard that? No. Yeah. They had a new flavor that was like a (bleep) flavor and they called it armless Palmer and they got sent to cease and desist by the Arnold Palmer Foundation or whatever because they weren't authorized to use it. So they said, fuck it, fine and renamed that flavor dead billionaire, which is great. It shows violence. I told you what I wanted to name it, right? We had all those good nymphs. I had a pulmonator. It's like a play on Arnold Schwarzenegger, the terminator, you know, the pulmonator. They said that even then that they would probably go after us legally, just crazy. We can use any of the cool names. I'm not going to lie, that's kind of lame. Yeah. Just being like, I'm the first person to ever mix lemonade and tea together. I own it forever is insane. It's like Joe Rogan going after all podcasts because I started the first podcast. Actually, I'm the white guy with tattoos that talks about bullshit on the internet. You're going to have to have a discussion about this. Cody's back from Japan. You have any great questions to ask him about his country because we're going there all together next year. No, we're not. So I said, I don't have a passport and you can't make me get one. We're going to make the passport. I actually have four connections. Yeah, we got to make this happen now. Naked and chloro for away. We got you a military idea in your state in Japan. I didn't do anything. Guess who just got recall. No, if I was going to go out of country, it would be Japan, though. That would be, you know, we've already set a tone. They know better. I was just going to say, like, not even, not even for meme reasons, just because I'd legitimately like to go see it. Like Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Which side know America? That's so far away from Tokyo. That's the problem. I didn't realize. Yeah, that's like a fight to go there. I don't even drive the Dallas anymore. Like I fly. But it's like six hours. It's a six hour in the bullet train. Yeah. It's a good, good drive. It's really like long. Yeah. So just a boomerang, it's a long-ass boomerang. Yeah. I mean, Cody had nothing, but he hated coming back. No, it was fucking rad, man. Even on the bullet train, so it was bringing beers and liquor and all the food and everything. It's super cool. And you can turn the chairs either which way you want to face. And like, everyone's just super nice. You want to tip anyone? Food's incredible. Quality's incredible. What's the, you guys are real tall? What's the, like, exchange rate, like, for money? I think we're. Um, I think we're more the US dollar, it's a lot more. Yeah, it's against, I think it's almost double. Yeah. $62 cents for a $1, so you had, like, a lot more purchasing power? No, not, not 63 cents. Oh my god. No. Holy shit. Yeah, never mind. Yeah. Yeah. It's point. It's 63 cents. Yeah. So, like, a thousand, yeah, a thousand yen was like a dollar. That's crazy. Yeah. We're doing okay over there. Yeah. We're just looking at a one that looks very American, massive, 177 grand. Iowa stuff. No mountains. This had a mountain background. Yeah, I did learn, though, if you can find a house that someone died in, then the house is like half price, because the Japanese people are really scared of ghosts. Which makes me wonder, maybe Japanese ghosts are real. They're right. If it affects the real estate price, you got a wonder. Maybe like, do the, just hear that coming down the holes at night. Holy shit. Holy shit. Defected rektration is here. You got to do the, the, oooh, in an Asian voice. They, they boo differently. Boo. Sounded Japanese. Oh god. Getting haunted by a ghost I can't understand, he's like trying to warn me of danger in my ass shut up. This is the ghost figure, but it's, it's, it's like the guy who's, you know that, the acting. The guy, what is, uh, HongKao, I think, uh, his, uh, I don't think you can say that. What is this? That's, I think it's his, it's, it's C-A-O, HongKao, yeah, C-A-O, I think. Yeah, HongKao, uh, he's the new, uh, acting director of the, or acting, uh, secretary of the Navy, I think, uh, his whole thing that they were trying to like dig back in his history. And he made some joke on a podcast or on a new show. That sounds familiar. But he's, and very clearly Asian man, he's like, yeah, they're calling me a white supremacist and this, this, this is like, I mean, I, I mean, I, I couldn't be a white supremacist because they'd need to, uh, custom cut a clan hood with slits in it or something like that. I can love that shit. Oh my god, Nick, you made the, the Reddit page because when we were super shit wrecked and you were talking about like one of the big nukes, uh, the guy that reacts, the nuclear engineer that will react to videos. Okay. Yeah. And the comments though on that is, yo, that was like a four hour podcast and they were shit wrecked. It was drunk history. Oh, okay. Yeah. All the comments of you defending because you're like, oh, what the fuck? This guy's just spitting nonsense. He's lying. What a piece of shit. Reply. Homie was like 30 beers into this point. He's doing an actually pretty decent job. Which one was that holding the story together? Which one was it? Uh, the submarine nuke. Which one was the big one? It was like the nuke that we lost or something or like what? It was, uh, one that was built that hadn't been deployed yet. It was like 200 megatons or something like the Sarbamba, like the Russian one. No, no, no. I have no idea. I don't know. That's my last favorite thing about shorts is like, I see so many shorts where it's like, oh, don't know. Wonder some people hate me. It's like, here's a 30 seconds of me, shit wrecked, obliterated, ranting with my friends about some random bullshit and they're like, this guy doesn't know anything. Well, my problem with those shorts too is, hey, they just steal our shit and get the views. But B, thank you. They, they cut out all of like your hedging on it. You're like, I don't know. I think I read somewhere where they said, and they'll just cut straight to like you saying it is definitive information. Colleen, or did a video on one of the shorts taken out of context about me? Which one was that again? I was on a podcast and I was like, I said, I told a story about how like, I hate going to shoot with somebody for the first time because I've had it happen multiple times where somebody like, "Hey, do you want to go shoot at the range?" And I'm like, "Yes." And it turns out that their version of going to the range is like the very hunter version, where they want to sit up in a supported position on a chair, and they want to shoot 12 bullets in an hour very accurately, which isn't what I'm into. And not what I hear when you say, "Do you want to go to the range?" I want to go shoot 600 rounds of aiming. -Didn't he title it something like. -The Fatal electrician hates hunters? -At least it like the hunters shouldn't be allowed to go to the range or something like that. -Didn't say any of that. That was just like, there's a miscommunication in "Let's go to the range" between different types of shooters. That was all I was saying. -What the fuck is going on? You should still come on the podcast. We'd love to have you. -He's like a friend of ours. -Oh, I know. He was cool about the whole thing. He's like, "That's not what the Fatal electrician's saying." -Yeah, though he does end with that. -Yeah, I mean, cool things, because the title is very different. It's like, "Fatal electrician" says, "Honors shouldn't have got." That's all it came about. -That's the quick-made title. It's aggressive. -That's sometimes I have that conversation with Delance because we'll go back and forth on title, thumbnail of a video or something like that, and he'll propose a title. I'm like, "I know that's going to get a lot of views, but we can't use it because it's objectively wrong." -Yeah, that's the end word. -I need to find this. -Those were my titles. -No. I don't think Brandon heard it. -No, I didn't. What did you say? -I said, "And it's the end word." -Oh, no. That turns out, you're just like, "It would get a lot of views from other sources. I feel like it's an instant age restriction on YouTube." -I know. -On this year, Koleon, I think you can get away with it then. -I don't think you can use that. -You can use that. -Yeah, there's a difference. Yeah, he can. I can't, for some reason, try it. -He's like, "I keep A.B. testing, isn't it?" -You never worked so hard. -I just could. He's like, "I don't get that. No, there was just the end word." -The never-pitch. -Why is this happening? -He's got his goggles on, mixing test tubes. I just can't figure it out. -I was trending on Twitter two days ago for Shitting on Communists again, and all they did was prove my point. This guy's never even read Karl Marx. -I saw that. -First of all, yes, I have. B, the notion that you have to read 3,000 pages of bullshit to acknowledge that it's bullshit is retarded, and I believe my analogy was, if I write a 3,000 page essay on my slamming your dick in a car door, cares cancer, you don't have to read it before you call me a retard. My favorite was the top comment. It was like, "Real car door dick slamming has never been tried." I'm serious if I could have just a shitty superpower. My superpower would be to be able to post my videos and then go back in time 24 hours just so I could steal the funniest jokes from the comment section, because it's always funnier than me. -Some of you all motherf---ers are really funny. Most of you aren't, but some of you are. -IG comments is probably one of my favorite places. -Oh, dude. There's certain times I could just see something feel goods on my feed, and I'm like, "I know why this was presented to me." -I look down 8,000. There's only 200 likes. That's wild. -It's the whole "I sprained my ankle running to the comments." -I was just telling Cody before you guys got here. I was like, "I think my favorite feature of Instagram at this point is whenever I see the most heinous real of my life." Then I see that Cody's already liked it. -I feel like I'm following in your footsteps every time I go on Instagram. -It's like a detective. -I will do that fucking. I'll get high E-L-I. I can't comment on one of the f***ing stuff. And then Cody's like, "High E-L-I." -And I fell through the same thing. Gentlemen, we meet again. -Sir? -I just rage bait on there at night. That's been my past time lately. -It's vigorously rage baiting. -I don't even believe in the things I'm saying. -It's just funny or literally Cody throwing a grenade in her room. -And then I'll mute the conversation. -I got one of the top comments, and I still get notifications from it. One of the top comments on a Netflix clip, because it was from the roast of Kevin Hart. It was the one Chelsea Handler when she made that joke about like, "Now that your favorite presidents made the draft mandatory, I hope you go to Iran or whatever." And my comment was just, wait, did she not know that the draft has been mandatory since like, 1948? -Yeah, forever. And it just, "Oh my god, angry, angry," lefties in the comments. I'm like, wait, I was just a question. I'm like, wait, did she not know that the draft was mandatory? -Already? -When you turn 18 as a dude, you have to. -Selective service, yeah. Like there's been like, a couple of years since where we didn't have it, but it was pretty consistent for the last, like-- -Have we ever stopped it? -We stopped it, I think Carter reupped it. It was, we stopped it briefly for like five years after Vietnam, I think. -Oh, no shit, I didn't know that. I thought it was still mandatory. I know with females the only ones that don't have to do, right? So, yep, that's the one. It's females, as always. Yeah, that's the hiccup is combat arms if they want to be in that space, then they do need to do mandatory. -So it was just a female from LA. She's just so disconnected, she didn't know the draft was mandatory, and that's correct. Today's video is in the partnership with Manscape, the men's grooming brand, who is trusted by 13 million men worldwide. Father's Day is around the corner, and you know what that means, the same problem we all run into, which razor will my dad use to shave his balls best? -Okay, you've been imagining telling my 70-year-old dad's like, "Hey, Dad, this makes shaving your nuts way easier, bobs." But my dad does have a beard. Here, and he needs to keep a trim. -And because of that, the new beard had your plus. It's a solid upgrade without breaking the bank. -Now, a lot of you probably use trimmers in the past, and they're clunkers. We don't want no clunkers around here. -A 14-different link settings, which covers one millimeter of stubble all the way up to 20. So whether your dad's a clean, tight guy or my dad, bearded, biker, Mexican, Asian, dude, this is the trimmer for them. -On a real side note, I do use these and any Manscape product for the majority of what I do when it comes to cleaning that part, cleaning down. They work really good. They have amazing battery life, and you can beat them up, and they continue to work. -Also, they're waterproof, so you can shave in the sink, or, you know, the shower. -As father's days, skip the boring stuff and get him something he'll actually use and love. Head over to Manscape.com and use code unsub to say 15% off. -Plus free shipping. -That's 15% off your entire order, plus free shipping with code unsub at checkout. -And if you need it today, you can find Manscape at a store near you. -Nick, you just got back from what you were with Mr. Codys. -Mr. Codys? -I've been everywhere in the past two weeks. -You're with Mr. Zach just in veterans. -I was with Zach in Iowa doing underwhelming. I was in Savannah, Georgia over in Paris Island with Ethan and Finn, and then we flew to El Paso, so we could drive to New Mexico, awful state, by the way, not a fan. -Did you do that? -There was like some planes. Well, no, there was planes that I wanted to look at in El Paso, but Ethan's like, "Oh, it's close enough to where I live in New Mexico. We'll just stay at my house and drive there." Okay, so I got to go to New Mexico, stay at Ethan's house and drive back to El Paso. That was a good time. -It's not that close. -We didn't get to see it. It's like an hour from Ethan's house, surprisingly. -It's not horrible. -There's a super cool museum in El Paso. I think we could text you about it. It's called Warriggles. It's right outside of El Paso. Every time I go to a museum, it's very professional. I guess not that these guys weren't professional, but it's very the stuffy clinical professional that's like, "Oh, and whatever some dude talking about stuff." They're like, "Yeah, you want to sit in it?" -Yeah. -I got to sit in a P-51 Mustang, got to sit in a P-38 Lightning, got to sit inside Rolls Royce car. Pretty much anything I wanted to sit in and dick around in. They let me. It was awesome. -They're speaking of spits of ass cars. -Yeah. -Oh, yeah. Okay, never mind. -Speaking of planes in El Paso, military planes. A lot of El Paso is in my district. My district goes from San Antonio all the way out to El Paso and all the border in between. Last time I was there, for one, I went to the original The Roses Cantina from the song El Paso, which is just kind of fucking cool. You got to do a pilgrimage. They've got a tribute, a shrine to Marty Robbins there. But while I was there in the parking lot, there was a truck. -Dig Iron O news hoop. -Yeah. Out in the West Texas town of El Paso. -Cutiful song. -Yeah. Never mind. -Eliah renowned for his music knowledge. -Yeah. -All right. Do you want to say you want to get picked up by his anime intro? -Yeah, I want to say real quick, we haven't talked about this in a while. Eli doesn't listen to music. He just listens to anime intros in his car. -Riden's the same way. He hates music and I love it. Oh, turn that off, Daddy. Like. - Cool dog. - That apple dropped directly to the grandpa. (laughing) - But there was a truck outside that had a wrap on it. Oh, oh, he got it. - There was a wrap on it that advertised, there's somebody there that owns like a B29, I think. I might be misremembering, but I think it's like a B29. - I think that was parked at this museum. 'Cause apparently it still functions, like they fly it. - Yeah. - Which is pretty sure it was at that museum. - No shit. - 'Cause I don't know if they do like charity rides or something like that, but they do shit like that and they were advertising it. I always wanted to see how expensive it would be to take the gang up in a B29. - I could probably make that happen. - I think we should do it. - Yeah, we could probably make that happen. But like the cool part about this museum is they had like all these World War II planes, all these Cold War airplanes. They said, it was like all but like one of them flew to El Paso to become a museum piece from all over the world. - Yeah, they like flew all of them there and parked them. And they're like, yeah, technically we could get any of these up and going again if we wanted to. He said the main problem is being able to get a pilot that's licensed and all the shit you have to be licensed in to fly that type of plane because it's so different than a jet. So you have to be like prop driven and this and this and this and this and this, he's like, and most people that do it, there's no money in it. So it's just commercial pilots that have to maintain eight additional licenses and log all these flight hours just to be able to do it. He's like, we can't get people that have that much time 'cause they're all just dudes at work for airlines for a living, so. - But you know, like the guys that are into flying like that, a lot of them think that's cool as shit. There's a lot of people that have the licenses just 'cause they won't be able to do it. - I wonder how many hours they have to do 'cause that was the one thing for skydiving, which was wild, you have to do like 25 jumps. You have to maintain like a jump every six months or three months, I was like, oh shit, okay, that's wild. - I don't know what the maintenance is on it, but static line was only five jumps. - But did you have any, so you could go do it now? - Yeah, I don't know, yeah, free fall was like, you have to do it every six months. - That's what I was saying, like I don't know the maintenance, they didn't imply that there was anything crazy on that, but yeah, no, I just had to get my log book and like did the five jumps over the course of like, it was over like a day and a half. I felt like I got hit by a fucking truck. - You did? - Yeah, following it like that. - I only had one miles an hour. - I only had one bad landing. That was the, I think it was like my third jump and I got overly cocky and I hit the ground way too fast and PLF very poorly. - And you felt every moment of it. - The next day. - Is it like 30 miles at how fast are you landing? - I want to say it's like 18 feet per second, something along those lines at nine miles an hour. - Fucking dog too much. - I would never do static like, no. - It was fun, I want to do it again. I really do want to go back to Palakia. I think the gang should do it. - Nah. (laughing) - This is so opposite of it. - I had a great time. - And that's one that like, I would do it. - Last time you guys did skydiving stuff in Salt Lake City. Me and Cody had a great time trying to get booze in Salt Lake City, Utah. - Yeah. - That was an event. - That was pretty fun. - They looked at me and Cody. The same way I imagine people look at barbarians. It was like 11, 145. - Yeah, can we get two mimosas and a shot of titos? - I have to go get my manager. The manager has to come explain to us. I can't legally serve you, tell noon, and then I can only serve you one drink at a time. And like, they're liquor. Do you remember how they had to do the classes? - One drink at a time and it measured out. Like, it is, so just so people know, Utah is measured and then you can-- - Not a chance to live in Salt Lake. - Yeah, you cannot have two drinks at the same time. You have to. - Well, the weird part was like, they would come with the new mimosas and we would have like, I don't know, this much left in. And they're like, did you want to finish that? And we're like, yeah, we'll finish it, just set those there. They're like, we can't. - Oh, I forgot about that. - He's like, I have to legally pick the empty glass up off the table before I can put this one down. - Yeah, it is like-- - They had a electric spouts to get the exact amount of liquor in there too. Did you see that? Every spout for booze is electric. There is no heavy hands. It's like, nope, this is all you get. Salt Lake cities are Utah in general. I guess it's like always the example I give when I'm trying to argue with people that are like, you can't have that law because of separation of church and state. It's like, that's not what that means. If you get enough people of any religion in a geographical area and they vote whatever the fuck they want into law, it doesn't matter what their reasoning is, whether it's because I feel like it or because God says so, that's not violating separation of church and state. That's not what that means. - Also, people seem to think that like, the separation of church and state is in like a foundational document or something like that. It's like, that's-- - Yeah, no, not actually like any legal. - The term separation of church and state is from a private letter written by Thomas Jefferson to a Baptist minister in Connecticut is where that term originated from. - Right, I mean, the first amendment, you do have like, Congress shall make no law regarding the establishment, like regarding religion essentially, like you have the freedom to practice religion unimpeded by the state. The only thing the separation of church and state is meant to refer to is because we had just separated from England and in England they had the church of England and church and politics got intermingled and it fucked everything up. So we said, we don't wanna make that mistake again. So in order to not do that, we're gonna make it a law that you cannot declare one particular religion or one particular branch of Christianity, the official religion of the country or the state. - That's not true. - That's all that means. - I'm not saying you can't hang up the 10 commandments in elementary school or just saying, like we're not gonna have Handmaiden's Tale style fucking state enforced religion. - Yeah, interesting, that's all that means. But nobody gets that because they don't want to. - No. - And if you say that they get mad. - Yeah. - That's one of those things. If people get really pissed for it's like words. - I know, step away from that one. So what are you doing now for, you filmed all of that. I'm guessing you did a habitually fat. - Yep. - And now you're just, what's your actual nicks? 'Cause you have to have one around the corner right now. - For a fat electrician? - Yup. - I did a guy by the name of John Lewis Barclay. - White guy. - For sure. - He's the one who talks about San Antonio, right? - No. (laughing) - Famous basketball player. - Yeah. - Sorry. - There you go. - That's right there. - No, I mean, I don't know, just some dude that he's one of the most decorative war fighters of World War I, but he got shafted just because he wrote the truth after the war, so everybody fucking hated him. - What do you mean by the truth? - So after World War I, there was like two. - What is true? - What is true? - What is true? (laughing) - You ever heard of the Rothschild? (laughing) - Now, after World War I, there's like, the only opinion you were allowed to have was like very like all quiet on the western front. Like all war is bad. We're never doing this ever again. This was the war to end all wars, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, he wrote his memoirs and they were very much like, he talks about how he made a bunch of fucking mistakes and how he screwed up missions and how he almost got himself killed and got other people killed. And he has a dark sense of humor and he did not feel bad about killing people that tried to kill him. Which in 1930, I guess, was like very jarring of a perspective to have. You were supposed to be very like Captain America-esque. And so his book like flopped and everybody painted him as like this war-hungry killer, which he absolutely wasn't. But. - It was just like an honest retelling. - It was like, yeah, it was an honest, accurate retelling. And he actually goes on to make like a creepily accurate prediction about World War II. 'Cause he became a journalist later in life. And in 1930, he writes an article basically saying, Russia and Germany are gonna start another World War and this is still during the period of like, that was the war to end all wars. We're never doing this again. And he's like, no, it's gonna happen again. And he goes, it's gonna start in Europe and then it's gonna spread to America. And it's mostly gonna be fought in the air. We're not gonna have horses. It's all gonna be tanks and the chemical weapons are gonna be so much worse, which isn't accurate. But we made nooks like, well, yeah. Creepily accurate depiction of that. - Everything else other than the chemical warfare is like spot on. - Yeah. - I think everybody just kind of looked around and we're like, well, let's not do that again. That was fucking horrible. But the, well, that's one of my favorite little factoids about World War I. It's 'cause World War I, it's like fascinating to me 'cause it's one of the least talked about wars, but it's the most interesting, I guess underrated in that sense. - Abraham Lincoln did a good job with that. - Sure did. He was certainly there for it. - Did he? - According to tech told him. - Oh, yeah, jeez. (laughing) - We love you, tech. - Love you. - Love your boy. That man's knowledge in history, yes. (laughing) - All right. - Please carry it back. - Yeah. - But one of the things that was interesting is that the French general, I forget his name, but he was technically, I think, commander of all allied forces in Europe. He made a prediction about the Treaty of Versailles and basically said, this is so restrictive on the Germans. This is going to ruin the German economy. The only thing we're doing is postponing this war 20 years. - What was the restrictions on Versailles? - Basically, there's German reparations. We destroyed their economy. That was why you had the German, the YMAR Republic afterward, where their currency was worth less than nothing. You had a ton of sex tourism and all sorts of stuff. Germany was in shambles for a very long time. like they essentially economically had no choice but to not follow along in those guidelines. And that's what allowed somebody like Adolf Hitler to take power is because that was a big selling point. This is like we're not going to listen to these restrictions anymore. And that's why a fringe or a radical ideology like that was able to take hold, which then again launched World War Two. And so that French general fucking nailed it right off the rip. But John, John was barkly like he got the Medal of Honor. He was one of the most decorated guys of World War One and his Medal of Honor action. He was he was a scout and he was out at like this observation post behind German lines by himself and he had a field telephone. So he, which is in itself is a wild notion of like I'm going behind enemy lines. I'm going to string out cable. Hope it doesn't get stepped on and then have a string showing the enemy where I'm at. Kind of a crazy job. But that's what he was doing. And he's like overlooking this big field. And a battalion of Germans show up in the woodline and he goes to radio fucking radios dead. So he has no way to communicate. So he can't tell him that this big attack is coming. And in this field like 100 yards away, there's this French tank that's been knocked out. And he's like, I can't make it to this fucking tank without them see me and killing me first. And whatever, don't know how it happens. But allied artillery drops smoke in this field separating the line of vision. So he runs back the other direction towards his lines. But there's a bunch of German shit in the way where Germans have abandoned a bunch of equipment grabs a German machine gun and a bunch of ammo runs it down into this tank and gets inside of it and gets in a firefight with a German battalion for like four hours. And they're tank in and in a knocked out French tank. Oh, and he holds up this counter attack for like four hours by himself. Holy shit. He goes into detail. He went through. He estimates 4,000 rounds of ammunition. Now that barrel had to be. Well, that's the thing is I talk about in the video. Like, you have to realize this is like the most fucked up game of red light green light. Because he waits tell all four to 600 guys get out in an open field and then he opens fire. He runs three belts through and then the barrel is too hot to keep going. So then it turns into a game of like they're all laying down. Yeah. And the only way they can hurt him is if they get to the tank. So he has to manage the heat of the gun reloading and trying to convince all of them to stay the fuck away from him at the same time. So every second, he's not firing. The Germans are like, did he overheat the gun? Is he out of ammo? Is this my chance to get up and run at him? And he sucks with him too. It's a super dog game of red light green light for four fucking hours that he had to play with these days. It's that one movie. What was it? Thank you. It's great games. Yeah. Holy shit. Except you got shot when you moved the first time. Brandon, do you need not again? One more time. You got this funny. Brandon, can you? Brandon, do you like it? Almost there, but Brandon, where do you store your firearms? All over my house in every fucking crepes. Well, do I have the product for you, Nick Schoam? Here, hand it to me, Brandon. So I can show you. Brandon, this is stop box. Stop box. We love box. You selling me. What's in the box? You have to open it and find out. All right. Well, let's see if I can do this. Oh, wow. Look at that. Can I hide my goop in that? You can hide your goop in that, Cody. Cody, do you know why I love this thing? Why? Why? God, why? Because you don't have to use keys. God, not included. Cody, you've got multiple cats in your house, including Squirt, who's quite the scrapper. Would you want Squirt to have access to your firearms? No, he's violent. Well, then stop box is the perfect product for you. No cat's getting inside that. Or people without thumbs. The nice part is it is actually TSA compliant. I didn't actually know that part until a couple months ago. That is actually really cool. Just put a little lock through there. Exactly. When you check in a pistol or any gun, if there's a hole that a lock can go through on whatever you're checking you're going in, you have to put a lock through that. This has one hole, so you just need one lock easily accessible once you land on the ground. I know you're not normally a one-hole kind of guy, but this is definitely an exception to the rule.

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

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

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

Please, for the love of God, show your support. Even AI, I know, it's surprising how many people do not incorporate it into their day-to-day and help. And it is wild to me, I'm like, "This is the really good tech, it's very helpful if you use it, right?" I find it to be the opposite, frankly. I feel like there's a lot of, like, probably GenXers, for the most part, who feel like they missed out on a lot of the social media boom and like the gold rush of social media, and they don't want to miss out on the next thing, and they overuse this shit out of AI. They just think AI is the answer to everything and they send these, like, horrifically, they post these horrifically edited reels and things like that, thinking, like, "I'm cutting edge and everybody under 30s, like, uh, do you guys notice that too, or is that just. " I think there's a set. Again, it's, you do not have, it's like us trying to use TikTok, or the people actually are studying and be like, "Hey, you can do this right," and as long as a human is viewing it, and then you train it properly, you can get some really good help out of it and make your job more efficient. But a majority of people don't do that. They're just like, "I've already talked to people, and they're like, 'Oh, what do you mean train your AI?'" I'm like, "Oh, okay. You have no idea how to use even Grock or Chat, G-T-P, G-T-T." I'm going to get it one day, one day, I'm going to nail that name, and I'm not even directed anymore, it's just like whatever, E-Ly versus acronyms chapter 37. I'll tell you what it's not good at, history. It sucks dick at history. It's awful. Do you know what I'm saying? I hate it. So you can't use it because then it's fucking giving you your holy shit. I've, when it was first, and like, I'll check in on it every once in a while, like, after I already know everything, and I'll just ask it a question, horrifically wrong, all the time. a lot of grammar reports, I try to research too, and like, I'll ask it be like, 'Hey, where the f*** did Audi Murphy grow up?' And it'll start giving me all the information from Alvin York, or completely different war here out. I'll be like, 'No, he didn't. He was born in this place.' No, he was born in this place at this time. No, that's Alvin York. Oh, you're right, my bad. It's like, and it always apologizes to you like that. It's like, 'Oh, you're actually right.' It's like, 'Yeah, man, you're all right.' Do I cut the red wire or the green wire? Oh, shit, you're right, my bad. Wait, you're dead. It's husk. Husk, IRL. The guy that argues with AI, have you seen his videos? No. No. This is the part where, again, Eli shows something to us that the camera cannot see. What's Tony Hawk's brother's name? Tony Hawk has an older brother named Steve Hawk. Steve? No, I was thinking about his brother, Mike. Ah, got it. Yes, Tony also has a brother named Mike Hawk. He actually has three brothers though, Mike. He asks, 'Hey, 80 or what number has an A in it?' And it was like, '80 has an A in it.' And he's like, 'Really? This is chat GTP.' Yes, it has chat GPT, GPT, son of a bitch, fuck! And in difficulty, impossible. It has an A in it. Press and, can you just let me go, shut up. It is struggling with baseline shit. Where's the other one? Simple instructions. Can you laugh at everything I say just to make me feel that I have a counter, either? I can definitely throw in some laughs, if that makes you happy. Actually, everything. All right. I'm on it. Just warming up. Feel free. It smells nice in here. There you go. Even talking about nice smells. I just crashed my car. Oh, well, OK. That was a little dark. My grandma's dead. She's been dead. Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that. No, it's first of last. [LAUGHTER] It's all his videos every day, is that fucking-- husk, you're crushing it out there. Shut the fuck up. You're crushing it out there. Shut the fuck up. So, Japan, anything weird happened or what's like food was good? I know you said that. Nah, man. It was chill. It was just a good time. What part of Japan were you in? We started off in Tokyo and then we went to Kyoto after that. So, we went up to the temples and saw the monkeys on top of the mountains and did the basic touristy shit. And it was wonderful. Did you do love the food, though? The wagyu over there? There's a wagyu stand every 10 feet. It's incredible. That's a kid. Nothing weird happened. Food district. Oh, yeah. That market district with all the food on both sides. That's so good. What? What? How do we get you to get a passport to do anything outside of the United States? You don't. Period. You're resistance to leaving the country. Why? Why would I? Because I haven't left. For one, I haven't left the country either. Yeah. But I don't know. At some point in my genealogy, my ancestors looked around and said, "This shit's gay. I'm going over here." And I trust him. It's enough for me. Well, yeah. Nobody's telling you you have to move away from Iowa. I know that's a fool's errand. But just, I mean, visiting places isn't bad. I don't know. It was bad enough. They're like, "You know what? I will take a covered wagon to California." Yeah, but they didn't have access to first class on a 747. No, they didn't. And they still decided to come here anyways, because it's that bad out there. You go to Africa sounds so dope with Kevin. No, it doesn't. Okay. South Africa with Kevin, yes. Yes. Okay. Yeah. That I would do. If we had to go hunt. I didn't hunt Iowa. Deer? Yeah. What am I going to hunt in Africa? Yeah. Every day. If you've seen the deer in Africa, they're different color. They're horns. They're funnier shapes. I don't give a shit. Actually, I will say most of what you could hunt in Africa, or a lot of what you would hunt in Africa. You can hunt in Texas, because it's just all exotics. I rest my case. Lines? Yeah. What? Probably. No. You can't. I can find a guy. I don't know. Yeah, enough money. You can hunt whatever you want. Does he hunt, like, everything there on his property? I don't know if you could just to hunt. Well, I see. Yeah, the pride. That's how I do it. You can kill the pride. He probably doesn't want you talking about it on the internet. No. He takes photos of it. Kevin is very low-shitting on people when they're like, well, is that about it? I would figure lions would fall into a similar category of elephants, where it's like, if it's like a problem animal or something like that, then you can take them. I don't, I actually don't know on that, but I know in the United States, you can't hunt a **** lion. They're not here. They're not native to the United States, Brad. That's what I thought you were asking. No. Okay. I know. That's why he says, have them. What can I hunt there that I can't hunt here? I'm like, lions. Well, because I know you got places like Ox Ranch where they've got like, rhinos and shit, but like, they have them just to have them. Like, you can't just, here's 50 grand. Can I shoot one? Kevin does not give me a chance here. That's a leopard, Eli. I know. I just want me to scroll further for a different **** large cat. It's just Kevin with a house cat. Kevin, I have to put my foot down on that one, buddy. Where? Rip Beans. piano man starts playing. I have a question for you about cats. Is your cat's water by its food? Yes. Try moving it. Why? Because I read something the other day that house cats are almost always there. It is in a constant state of dehydration because a cat's instincts are to not drink water near its food source because in nature like contaminated **** water or whatever. He likes it. I have running water too. Have a little time. You always want to have the fountain too. They'll drink more. Really? Yeah. Because it's still water. They don't like it that much. So that's why they're hydrated too. Oh, yeah. It's a white cloth fountain to your house too. Yeah, that's true. Cody's lapping. I hate that. Cody's just walking on all floors to the white cloth fountain. He's unlocking a genetic memory. Spring Cody with water. Giant lion. There you go. It's not. He kills everything out there. I just wonder what the circumstances are that you can kill a lion. What do you tell you? You got a gun? Well, alright. You can do it everyone. We got free will. I feel like we were hammering with Kevin one night and he was talking about a lion attacking villagers and he went out there with the whole village and they **** killed it. Well, the males age up and they stop reproducing but they fight off reproducing males. So there will be like a 60 year old lion that's killing all the young males that will actually breed. Yeah. That was the story with Cecil. Yep. It was an alpha. You can't explain that to an animal rights activist. No. Well, a because they're retarded, but be like, I know it's just fucking irritating because every time I've ever gone on a hunt like that, even the elk out in Utah, like you're going after specifically, like you're helping the species because you're going after one that's past its prime that can't breed, but they're keeping all in the elk's situation. like they're retaining the bulls. - Excuse me, the calves. - They're during the local Thanksgiving, not the calves. So your pain-- - It's not an Epstein oak. - There's a reason the doctorate is, so Cecil, it was a doctor that paid like $200,000. I think to hunt that, that money then goes to the tribe that is in that area. They get all the meat, the skin. - Well, a lot of them don't realize, too, that a lot of the conservation that we have-- - In the United States and across the world, that's fucking great, is because of hunters. Like, hunters pay for all of that shit. There wouldn't be money going to a lot of conservation if it wasn't for people that were willing to hunt stuff. - That's how they pay for everything. - I've looked into a bunch of like different stupid government interfering with hunters and conservation stories since I did that cocaine hippos video. And every story ends the exact same way. People get upset that hunters are killing this animal. Hunters have to quit. The animal starts overpopulating and breeding, and then the government has to pay poachers to go in there and kill them anyways. And it's like, okay, cool. You were collecting tax revenue and getting somebody to do it for free and conserving the species. And now you have to pay a mercenary money to go in there and kill them with tax money. You know how the whole cows are bad because of cowfarts for the environment? We have 60 million cows in America. (mimicking) Some cattle ranchers arguing with this person. What do we have before cows, dipshit? Bison, we had 80 million of them roaming around, eating grass and sh*tting and farting. This is not new. Just because it's a cow instead of a bison, it doesn't. - But not only that, it was actually a huge. It was a huge poach basically saying that private ownership of animals is better for conservation in certain regards like the buffalo. Because buffalo is just public property. A lot of times like the army was just having them eradicated. They weren't owned. And so that's why we don't fucking have any of them. It's because there was no ownership. If you own it, you protect it. You want to cultivate it. But if it's just public property, then well, you saw what happened to the buffalo. - Dude, those. - That's one of the most gnarly pictures if you've ever seen the buffalo school wall, dude. - Yeah, it's f*cking boned temple. - Yeah. Tiny, tiny little person. Did you watch the new Bone Tipple movie? That one was apparently really good. It was very good. - You have to watch the first one first, but yeah, it's good. It's like a good series, I guess. - Yeah, I need to watch it. - 28 years later. - Do I need to watch that one before, okay. It's a very good. - Yeah, you have to watch 28 years later and then you can watch Bone Temple. It's directly related. There's not like a huge time gap with a different story like the other ones. - It's, it picks up right where it left off. - Yeah, it picks up right where it left off. - But left, the reviews were f*cking stellar. Also Cody watched our movie, Conor Left. - Which one? - Project Hail Mary. - I thought it was really good, man. - Yeah. - Yeah. - It's a concept of a good movie. And then Conor's being old, negative Nancy over here. - It's not that good of a movie. - So yes it is. - I was pretty good. - So you're gonna forget it in like a year. I'm like, I do that to most movies, frankly, but that doesn't mean they're not good. - I did, hey, I was reading like some tweet or something and it was talking about that. And then the top comment was like, the puppetry was really good. I was like, Hannah, Hannah, what the puppetry, we're in the theater, me and Hannah, it's like, we're like the only ones in this movie that your hand just leans over. You realize that rock is autistic, right? And then we just start dying. 100% accurate. Amaze, amaze. - That's why all the spirits. - I do not like that name. I like that name. Like, that's naming the planet. That is a stupid name. Because they call it like, oh, I forgot about that. - Rock, 100% autistic. - The more I think about it, the more autistic that movie is. - It's just 100%. - I will 3D print you a tunnel so you can walk. - What is this? Stop touching, shit, Rocky. He's like, the second he has his little thing. He's just like, what is this? What is this? - Oh, oh, oh. - I want some personal space here. - I picture those, they watch each other sleep to wake up, right? It's autistic. - Is it really? - We're talking about your favorite movie. The puppetry. Cody, what did you think, Cody? What did you think of it? - I thought it was a really good movie. - It's so okay. - You know, everybody on the planet's wrong. - Connor's right. - It's true. - It's like the most seven out of 10 movie that's ever been. - I think he upgraded that. - I think he's upgraded it since. - I think he's coming around. - I've never talked about it. There's a great scargier movie that's never been really a fucking film. It's so fucking okay. I'm not saying it's bad. I'm saying it's fine. - You seem to be very angry about it. (laughing) - The whole thing is to be ever. - To the mondommy. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. (laughing) - What's ever been called? Domey and Sky? What's it called? - No country for old men. - No, I was. - Domey has rock movie, I already forgot the name of. - Hell Mary. Project Hell Mary. - Yeah, it's okay. - It's named after a two-pock song. - That's a big, significant story. - Which came first? - Domey. (laughing) - The mother of God is named after this movie. (laughing) - 'Cause it's so goddamn great, apparently. - No. - Who's control by a guy? Who gives nice shit? (laughing) - Maybe she knew how good this movie is gonna be. - Jesus. - Well. - The angel Gabriel came down from heaven. And it said, "You're not gonna believe this in 2026. "A guy's gonna control a rock alien." And everybody's gonna talk about it. Like, it's the greatest thing that ever happened. - He's literally the soy jack with the glasses. (laughing) - I think it's crazy. - I think the soy jack with the non-reddit opinion that the movie's fucking okay. - I hope you get to the pearly gates and they're watching it, 'cause it's a favorite movie. (laughing) - I will say the amount of redditors, like just the cringe types that are just obsessed with this movie is starting to kill it for me. - It does remind me. - A maze, a maze, it's like shit to fuck. Just enjoy the movie. - Welcome to Team Trump. - I said it was a good movie. You're like, you're not allowed to enjoy it. It was me. - I think. - That's not what I said. I reiterate, it's okay. - Calm down before you pass out. - Wait, what was the way past? Here, go over here real quick with him. - I was saying that it's the same thing that ruined Batman Heath Ledger's role in Batman. I mean, the people that were annoyingly obsessed about it in the movie. - That in the movie theater shooting, but yeah. - Fuck. - Don't even remember that. I remember the film. - It was a thorough. - A horror Colorado. - But that was the third. - But he was, wasn't he dressed up like the Joker, though? - No, he just had a gas mask and everything in. Because he had like the crazy color hair in his shirt. - I thought he was dressed like the Joker. - Yeah, I think so. - No, he just had like dyed hair, I think. I swear he wore a gas mask the entire time, right? I don't think so. I think people can flate it thinking that he like thought, like I'm the Joker, baby. - I don't think shooter from Dark Knight rises. - So he had tears, so tear gas canisters. That's why I thought he had a gas mask on. - What the fuck do you get tear gas, sir? - Oh, they spared him the death penalty by a single vote. - That guy, workout. - So he's wearing tack gear, a gas mask and body armor and deployed canisters to reach a gas-like substance before firing in his audience. So you can just cut that part out. - But yeah, that's what I swore, I was like. - He was decorated with Batman, or his apartment was decorated with Batman paraphernalia. - Quote unquote, I don't know what the fuck that means. - Oh, and then he had orange hair. - He had orange hair. - He killed that guy. - Oh, apparently, David, what, Erragon? - Erragon, maybe. - An actor from the MTV television series, Pimp My Ride, stated that Holmes called him twice the month before the shooting took place. He was the writer, director, and the star of the event upcoming film titled The Suffigator of Sins, which depicts a vigilante who shoots criminals, and Erragon claimed that Holmes showed interest in the movie's trailer. - That's weird, what a weird fucking note. - And then how do you get his number? - 1-800-Pimp My Ride. - Oh, but Connor, what was the argument you were having with Brain in the other day? - Betlaw. The meter with. - Oh, my God, dude, dude, no, I'm gonna get fucking fired up. - He was screaming at me. - 'Cause you're wrong, let me grab my drink. - What did I just walk into? - You did. - So there's this fucking game. - And I can't remember what it's called. Chase, I love making you work. Pull up the picture of this game. I don't know the name of. You'll text me in two weeks asking me about it. But there's a wheel. I've seen it on YouTube shorts and sh*t. - We're fortunate. - No, no, there's a little like ratchety wheel that you spin and it gives you a gradient of points. So it's like two points, two points, three points, three points, four points. And it's a left versus right thing. So let's say hypothetically, before I get to the argument that I have with Brandon, it would be like, I don't even know, things that are white, things that are black. You spin the wheel without looking at it. Well, that would be in the middle. 'Cause some people are white and some people are black. But you, one person who has spun the wheel reveals where that gradient is. So let's say it's like, yeah, like three quarters of the way on the black side. So you look at that and then you tell the other person in item or an idea that will get them to guess 'cause they turn a dial that where they think you're sitting on this gradient. So I'm saying this thing's like-- - It's called the mind reading, or wavelength, the mind reading party game. So something that's more black than white, but it's not white, it's not black, it's like here. So I would say like an Oreo, an Oreo cookie. It's mostly black, but there's white in it. So, yeah, 75%. - Great. - Or 33. - Yeah. 'Cause two thirds of an Oreo cookie is black and one third is white. - Okay. - Boom, there we go. And then you reveal and then the person who guessed gets the points. We had a card, 'cause Brandon and I play this when we are bored, just in passing. - Totally platonic board game playing. - Well, dude, the relationship of that-- - Versus the intimate board game. - Dude, monopoly, just fucks me. - Like, board luck. - I don't know what I can do for that. - You owe me rent. - This is my life friend Connor. - Platonic male life partner. I'm going for that hotel. - I'm ugly enough. (all laughing) - Brandon pulls out the hair band. - Oh, too much teeth. - Do not pass go, do not collect $200. - Community chest, you say. - All right, go ahead. - So, I don't even remember what the card was. - Oh, it was illegal and prohibited. - Illegal and prohibited, okay. So, on the scale, let me try to remember from the perspective of the camera. - Prohibited. - Correct. Okay, so something that would be very illegal is over here or something that is prohibited is over here. I am of the belief, correct, belief, that the middle point is where things and show agrees with me. She will, I will ask her to confirm. - She's Irish. - Yeah. - Carbom. (all laughing) - Prohibiting. - Things that are mildly prohibited. (all laughing) - They're illegal. - Things that are illegal would be on the illegal side and then the center point is where things transition into things that are prohibited but not illegal. - I see it as a spectrum, but all right. - Yeah. - Brandon's certainly on the spectrum. - So, we've got-- - We've got-- - We've got-- - We've got, fuck you. - Dude, I brought a screwdriver. I brought a screwdriver. (all laughing) - Fuck you, I'm wondering about that. - This shit gets hot. - Illegal prohibited. - The score range, 22334 in the center is like over here, the gradient. So, I'm trying to suggest something to get Brandon to put the needle where that would be before we reveal that's where that gradient is. This is either gonna be one of the most just controversial bits of the podcast or nobody's gonna give a shit about this and nobody's gonna give a shit. But I'm very passionate about it. So, gradients here, I said, not putting your shopping cart back. When you leave the grocery store, just being a fucking asshole, you unload your shopping cart and then you just kind of push it off to the fucking side. You don't put it back in the little corral. Brandon, in his infinite fucking wisdom, says or puts it over here on the illegal side. - No, I did not. - Absolutely. - Not. Now we're to, oh my. - No, there's no fucking way. - Jamie pull up the picture. - Brandon suggested it would be there. - No fucking way. - No chance, I would bet quite a lot on this. - Oh yeah. - Yes, you don't even fucking remember what side of the argument you're on. - You were wrong as fuck. - No, let me pull this shit up. - When was that? - You don't know how to work with this. - This is what I was like, great. - I'm sure you liked that fucking - No, that's how you read shopping, right? - They're together. - Like, what's going on here? - I know, what's going on here? - Here it is. This is exactly what your neighbors think you guys are doing in that house. - I accidentally might have implied that to one of the neighbors. - That did happen. - Oh wait, I can't play the audio on this 'cause I said words. I'm not gonna say a thing at two. Two of 'em. One starts with the nip, one starts with the nip. They were back to back, funny enough. - Rehibited illegal. Okay, yeah, there I was. On the prohibited side, Chase Double sent this to you without audio. And then you get, oh yeah, you're right, he gets the most fully prohibited. - He didn't even remember. - That's still my point fucking stands, you dumbass. That's not the most prohibited thing you can do. That's not illegal. - But it is the farthest away from illegal. 'Cause you do right on the border of illegal and prohibited. It's something that's almost illegal. - No. Everything that's illegal is on the illegal side. - I've read it on the first. - Everything that's prohibited is on the first. - Thank you. - Everything that's illegal is prohibited. You dumb fuck idiots. - Kicking your sister on the mouth is illegal, but it's much more prohibited than not putting your shopping cart back. - Are we peeking the mic yet? - By your logic, perfectly up and down between prohibited and illegal would be perfectly legal by your logic. - Yes, it's neither prohibited. - That's stupid. - I think that's stupid too. - It's a scale, it's a scale, it is a scale. - It's illegal is over here and illegal is over here. So what would be between the two things? Something that is neither illegal nor prohibited. That's how the fucking game works. - We need to bar you from echelon. - Oh my god, no, this is espresso. - Every night though, that's that me espresso. Love you, Sabrina. If you're watching, I'll talk to you. (laughing) - I volunteer myself as tribute. (laughing) - She's gonna get sick then. - How about we solve the argument and just pull up the instructions for the game? - Now, if you follow the instructions to a board game, that nothing says I know I'm wrong. - Please don't pull up the instructions. - I agree, yeah, let's pull up the instructions. - Brandon segment. - This segment of the podcast is called Brandon Googles the rules to a board game. - Legal, legal prohibited illegal. It's not illegal, legal prohibited. - You're implying that all of the things on both sides of the scale are illegal. It stops in the fucking middle. - Where? - Where? - Where it becomes prohibited. So the closer you get to illegal, the more prohibited it is and then it becomes mildly illegal. (laughing) - Remember my black versus white argument. - Remember my black versus white argument. - Hold on. - We're gonna pull up the rules. - Now I'm invested. - Now I'm all the rules. - Now I'm invested. (laughing) - I'm nervous. - 'Cause it should like, I'm cool. - I was like, mix here. - All the way. (laughing) - Here's the, here's the, here's the. - Here's how you know you're fucking wrong. So like the example they gave is hot in the cold. - Okay. - So hot on this side, cold on this side. - Correct. - And now let's, let's just shut the fuck up. You had your monologue. - If your example is, okay, perfectly illegal, perfectly legal would be in the middle. So it's opposite to gets to the middle. - Yeah, like, perfectly opposite one second. Purposely, perfectly opposite of hot would be cold, which would be in the middle, but it's hot, cold, meaning they meet in the middle. - That's room fucking temperature. - No, so you would say that things that were cold were on the right hand side, but things that were hot are on the left hand side. - I love watching Connor know he's losing an argument. - I'm not losing this fucking argument. The comments will show. If you're watching this comment, timestamp, only fans. So what was the confirmation on those rules then there? - He was right. - Yes. - You didn't change the rules. (laughing) - Who is the designer of this game? Can we get them to weigh in? - I would really love the designer of this game to weigh in. - What? - You're suggesting by your implication that it should be all the way to the right- - If that is absolutely in no way illegal, but it is prohibited. - So, nothing beyond that. If so facto, Bren and Herrera is suggesting you should kiss your sister on the mouth, 'cause that's fine. Nothing's more prohibited. (laughing) - That would be more. - Oh no. - Actually, no, I would say that's closer to illegal, because in a lot of states, you can't fucking. - No, that's dog! Dog! - That's where you're putting it. - That's all the way to the. That's illegal! Yeah, that would be. Like, in the illegal. It's book. - Yeah, it's just fucking dumb idiot! - Wait, so it's legal to fuck off? (laughing) - No, but it's not prohibited. (laughing) And on that note, that's my second fucking dog joke in the past two podcasts on. - Poor Bo. (laughing) - Don't put that evil on him. - Yeah, welcome back to fucking Texas brother. (laughing) - And that's how you end the podcast. - Yeah, it's finally. (laughing) - Are we really ending up? - That's the perfect outro in my opinion. - Bye everyone, thank you for joining us. (laughing) - They were joining the on-describe podcast. I was joined a day by Eli Double Tap. Nick, Bren and Herrera, myself, Dylanette. We love you, bye! - I'm right. (upbeat music) (upbeat music)
