How many impasses do you have at this point? Infinite. 18 naked cowboys in the showers at Demolition Ranch. Five. Three, two, one. We just ruined so much eBay value right now. Dude. Oh my God. $60 in eBay at least. Dude, they're like $40 right now for a can. Collector's item. I never would have thought we would have had fucking eBay like second market value on goth girl spit. I got mine rated last week. It's a 10. Oh, it's in one of those cases. It's going to be my side hustle. Like I have an entire case sitting at the house and I'm just like, Oh hell man, maybe I can. We're just cracking them and selling them. I feel like that's unethical. Treat it like the U S government. We can just print it. There are energy. That's the problem. Eli. No, see, we'll print a whole bunch, but if we give a few cans out to everyone, just gets a one can, we're fine. Lord. Welcome to the federal reserve. Go. Hi everyone. Welcome to the unscribed podcast. I'm joined today by Eli. Double tap. Our good friend, Brandon Buckingham, Brandon Herrera, myself don't an operator. Thank you so much for being here. What's up bitches. Guess who's a war hero. Now our boy, who got deployed play. It wasn't a technical deployment play. It wasn't a deployment at all. Play. He'll get it eventually. As many fireworks, the big D day movie. Saving private Ryan, play that one. My brain blanked road, dude. The older I get TBI. Yeah. It's starting to really affect me in life. Who are you? No, that was a good time though. Uh, did, uh, did a quick, uh, probably like two, three days in Jordan. Yeah. Uh, went to, uh, went to Amman, went to, uh, when you had to explain the story. Cause it was like a weekend thing. And it's awesome that you did. I gave you like a massive props for going and doing it. I like, yeah, I really pulled through. Yeah. The story's interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You guys were all, yeah, you got it. No, it's fucking, it was how you doing? It's good to have you back on. It really is happy to be alive. Yeah. It's been over two years. I appreciate you guys having me. It has been two years. It's just fricking. Yeah. Two and a half years. Okay. Go on Jordan. Uh, so yeah, we like with two weeks notice, a friend of ours called us that we've done work with like veteran advocacy and stuff like that. Just like, Hey, uh, just in case, you know, I figured I'd throw this opportunity, would you guys like to go out and do a show for, for troops that are deployed in the middle East right now? I'm like, yeah, absolutely. She's like, no, no, you don't understand. It's going to mean a lot to the guys. And wait, did you just say yes? Like, yeah, like a thousand percent. And the way it worked out, like it was, you know, army stuff, super last minute. We didn't even get approved until 10 hours prior. And I was the only one that could actually make it out. Yeah. So I went out to, uh, Dubai, then I'm on Jordan, then to the, uh, JTC, uh, the base in Jordan, and then out to, uh, K fab and did, uh, two shows in both those places and met with a lot of the guys there. It was fucking awesome. Well, you did two shows. Yeah. Oh, I thought you just did one show. No, I did too. Oh, so the, the biggest thing that got me that I felt fucking terrible about because they were putting the flyers out, like the unsubscribed show is here. So like fat electricians going to be here, Eli, donut operator. And then Brandon shows up there and like, you basically did like a, a standup show. Oh, for the troops there. I've never done standup in my entire life. How'd you whip that out? I think that was a small crowd of like thousands. It was like, I think at K fab, we had like over a thousand troops there. It was, it was, dude, it was a fucking great time. I love those guys. Like I've always gotten along with the military dudes, like super well. So like that was, that was a lot of fun. But, uh, oh, don't worry. Your one request was like, Hey, there's no one. So I can't do a live show. I'm like, Hey, the only time I've ever done a live show was with like five other co-hosts. Yeah. Like on like a podcast. We can play off of each other and like tell the jokes with the months and prep getting like, that is a set we work on to get there. And I was told, I basically told him like, look guys, I'm still down to come out. I'd love to meet with the soldiers that are out on the ground. Um, can't do the show, uh, but I'll do anything else you want, like serve food, whatever, whatever you want. Like I'm, I'm, I'm down to do it. Handed a microphone, like with an hour's notice. Because, because we thought they, they offered it to us and we're like, no, like your kids come in, in a town. Like I want to be here for the 4th of July with my kid. And Brandon went out there and you didn't know it was going to be like an unsubscribed podcast. I did not. And so we can't riff off of each other. Like we do in our live shows. I did. I did. However, like it was a great time. I think everybody there had a good time. Um, but I did get a video and, uh, chase her friend, please pull it up. Three, two, one. Of, because there was a flyer that they put out at K fab, basically saying like unsubscribe podcast coming here at this date with C U M M. It was weird. C U M M no flyers like coming here. It's like, well, that's very army really going to relieve the truth, relieve the pressure. Yeah. But I, uh, I, I had to text that to the boys to make them feel bad, but I had the whole crowd. I'm like, actually, while we have the opportunity, cause they're like, where's the fat electrician. I had to explain like this whole thing. Like I don't want to leave the United States. I don't want to leave the U S I don't want to go overseas. Like, okay. I, I have a video of the entire crowd saying where the fuck is unsubscribe. Like as a chant, just a bully, bully my friends who didn't go out as you should have. We owe you all. We owe you. I'll go on patrol with you. By the way, I will do a patrol with you when we go there. If they do that at all, Brandon said he would go to honor patrol. I will. I accidentally, I may or may not have committed to doing a jump, uh, in Fort Bragg with the 82nd. Yes. The static line. Oh, let's do like a SF one. So it's like now dude, we're doing static line. You won't coward. You're jump certified. Okay. I'll do one. And then you have to also immediately do a free fall. Sure. I'm I'm down. Brandon's like, oh, I can't control myself. It's just flying and plumbing. He's like, this is way harder. The landing's way easier. Brandon agrees us all to a fucking Hayhoe job. I don't know what I'm doing. It was, it was a fucking phenomenal time. I really, I really did enjoy it. All you guys out there, every single person, like from the Texas boys, the, the state guard guys, um, the 82nd, everybody like our, our, you know, our contingent, you were incredible. It was top five trips of my entire life. I enjoyed the hell out of it as a veteran. I will say, thank you so much for doing that. Cause I mean, we discussed it when we were at the, uh, at the racing thing, it was still like, Hey, what you're doing is awesome. The troops are going to be super supportive. My biggest worry was also, I'm like, man, I don't want to have them being forced to do something they don't want to, but as you're saying, it was like very positive, which is awesome to hear. Cause you are that break in. Cause I was scared of that too. Yeah, no, I paid my whole way. I don't know. Yeah. That's why I love it. And it just a giant, thank you for doing that. Like from, cause I got your concern too. Cause you were like, dude, I don't want to go out there and do this, like cringe, like mandatory fun. Like you have to show up and pretend you're having a good time kind of shit. But apparently like these guys, since the beginning of a operation, epic fury, they've been like on lockdown. They've not been able to do like re no, no recreational shit. Like they've just been locked the fuck down. So this is the first time they've ever been able to have a gathering like that. I didn't even think about it. Cause we would have like, it would be those shows or anything. And the last thing when you're running missions all the fucking time, you're like, dude, I just want to sleep. I didn't even think about like the opposite effect where it's you're on lockdown. So you have no idea if you get, like, you're looking forward to a break. And as you found out a lot of the, it's hard to get people like any kind of celebrity a lesbianist youtuber over there right now versus back in the day so they really look forward to that and it was wild i don't know where uh two-star general lambert what he does overseas but uh you guys found each other and i got a text from him and this is again a two-star now i deployed with and he's like hey you coming to it am i gonna see you and jordan on july 4th and you did on july 4th which like you sacrificed your own it was july 4th on the on america's 250th birthday that's like i would have loved to have been back in the states that was that was my answer to their question like they're like yeah we're having a hard time getting people to go out there because nobody you know they don't want to be outside of america on america's 250th birthday i'm like yeah well neither do these fucking guys like they don't want to be out there on eli the only thing i'm taking away from this is that brandon hates veterans i know yeah clearly yeah that's the message you it's like that's what is a joke video what no but uh uh yeah yeah lambert uh came out to me well not came out to me but he came up to me he's gay he's like brazing you son of a bitch hey but no he came up and he was talking about how you guys had chatted a little bit and uh no that was just that was fucking awesome then i told him like you son of a bitch hey but no he came up and he was talking about how you guys had chatted a little bit and uh no that was just that was fucking awesome then i and i told him like hey you let's take a picture together i'll send it to eli and then you sent uh you sent me back like i'll give him a hug for me and it was like eight hours later i just so happened to see him the next day like oh yeah eli uh said to give you a hug for him but you know we we just met so i figured you know a hearty handshake will work i'm like all right all right buddy buckingham yes top that story oh shit brandon buckingham's here holy shit he's here i got nothing going on dude i just got back from also a uh uso tour am i on deployment yeah no you dude i homies been i didn't realize how many times you've been shot at in the last guess how many times this dude has been shot at in the last year oh he's been running around the section eights though right yep yeah yeah well you got shot one of the times right well uh my camera guy got shot oh i hate to say i hate to say that with a big smile on my face but dude i'll say it for you his cameraman got okay we're having a good time over there right now uh no is it different okay i'm not sure i'm not sure i'm not sure i'm not sure i'm not sure different camera guy oh you had to replace him after he got fucking shot right yeah well he'd be after that he was like fuck brandon um not really but yeah his name is matt off hacker he's a really cool guy actually you bonus him that day i didn't give him anything i actually sued him i sued him for emotional turmoil because he wouldn't stop complaining he's a bullet to the jugular no big deal all right the best way to do this to lead up story wise why do your cameramen get shot what do you do real quick did you dock his pay for being down on the job exactly i was like why didn't you duck and leave you know the five rules of dodgeball it applies with gunfights too uh i picture you yelling at the next day wow okay first off how long did it take for you to grab the camera and start recording again second because he grabbed the camera and recorded himself after yeah well i agree with kelly let's start with the start from the beginning yeah let's go from the beginning what because we haven't had you on here in like two years did your cameraman get shot with you above um yeah so i do documentaries all around uh the country and the world and uh the only times that i've been shot at have been when i've been doing documentaries about uh different neighborhoods and gangs and stuff so the time when my cameraman got shot we were doing a documentary about the bloodhound gang not the not the band but the group of rappers in chicago and we were at a music studio called fort knox in chicago at three in the morning we hosted a picture together at the studio so i guess people saw that they stalked us waited outside the recording studio until 3 a.m as soon as him uh i mean yeah but he's not from there he's from philly so it really made no sense and they had i don't i don't want to say too much about it but they knew they definitely knew who they were shooting at you know what i mean um so we left at three in the morning as soon as we closed the door behind us uh i think five gun fired over 60 rounds close range with switches and i was with five people four of them got shot including my camera guy so dear god what was the range like the distance between you and the shooters probably like 15 yards 20 yards it was close that's pretty tight yeah it was like the switches are completely useless like at any sort of thank god for switches or i'd be dead right now we need to make more hand those out yeah free needles it's that free needles and switches the new seattle program free switches yeah miss everything but seriously the jokes aside meth and switches to the u.s government um and the homeless people and the military and yeah elect me for congress let's refine that a little bit for the military and homeless people it's a wild into this it's a big range yeah on uh say hi to eli we like went over all the the shooting so i don't know i don't want yeah get it no that's why i want you to talk about that stuff because the shootings it's what these people love the chicago one's the most interesting really but one month before that i was on 37th street in dc not even filming a video just doing um a music video i wasn't doing something for myself i was just in someone's music video ybc duel who's now passed away and we just posted an instagram story and it was like 10 minutes later someone came up on the hill and shot up the house we were in and shot to the people i was with so it's fun it's good time you guys want to collab on a hood video together let's do it you can trust me we'll do a write along type out don't say i'm just type out uh five of the rappers names without them seeing it brandon don't you look and then i'm gonna make up three words i'm gonna see if you guys can get which is a real rapper name and which one's fake because he was saying yesterday i was like so autocorrect i don't know why our guest brandon buckingham loves to go around the section eights with their switches and like you know they're they're they're feeling of well if i go to prison that's okay because that's how my life is but he still chooses to go around them and it doesn't make sense to me journalistic integrity i'm a hip hopper hey you ever just wake up and felt like your mattress sucks and it beat your ass punched you in the face that's crazy does

that my friends aren't shooting at me it's the it's the enemies of my friends that are shooting the ops yeah the ops they're like yeah you play with them you lay with them you play you lay eli over here is like he's begging for a conus i know it would be really fun to do a hood documentary with you guys they like to drink i'm just curious why they don't just don't do any of that bullshit and be active to like members of society you know if they just didn't do that yeah i get it yeah so i mean one of the interesting things about um so like you know rap is very prevalent in our society modern society and the shelf life of a rapper is so small uh or low because you know whether it's jail or getting shot like uh a lot of history is getting written in a span of like one to three years with these rapper stories so i do think it is interesting to cover because a lot of the hood videos i did in 2024 like every one in that video is either uh you know passed or in jail so it's like capturing a crazy moment literally every single one not everyone but like yeah the big names a lot of the big names and a lot of those videos they also couldn't do that or they could choose not to yeah that's what i'm saying yeah like yeah ready i'm not i'm not pro hood warfare i don't think they should be shooting each other it's like you like it's capturing it it's i i appreciate you doing it because you get to see that other side and you know now you're like what the like i do people rationalize some of this behavior where you're like oh okay so this is okay with uh what they're doing and then you come back to normal yeah it's pretty crazy the street politics and street vengeance but yeah it's it's interesting because like out of the past 12 videos i've done i think only two of them have been hood videos but it's definitely the videos that people gravitate to the most you know what i mean or the hood videos but yeah like the majority lately i haven't even been doing you know that kind of content but the kid does that yeah a child would be like you know what i'm gonna reevaluate yeah i haven't because you did just have your first kid i did yeah congratulations thank you so much yeah yeah since since i've had a kid i've only done one um hood video and it was in detroit and it was about car thieves and we got the car shot up it was was it the kia boys yeah they shot the car up but we i think we stole that like or i didn't i should watch what i say right now we can believe whatever like if you feel like positive like we stole that guy's car it's crazy they stole that guy's car and i was with them and then they shot the car up how do you say they acquired a car and it got shot up right yeah they acquired the car you documented it exactly yeah thank you u.s congressman brandon herrera well listen here i'm trying to help all right no i appreciate you and immediately he's like yeah there's definitely some crazy stuff with that but my recent videos as you guys know i um my last videos with reckless ben which is your guys video before this episode yeah and yeah there's something right out literally the beautiful part about youtube there's so many fascinating stories and fascinating things to cover true so yeah while like some of my most viral videos are the hood ones i feel like there's been some just awesome stuff i've got to do like i'm about to go to greenland in a week and cover greenland iceland and nunavut uh canada iqaluit just like what what life is like in the arctic that's really exciting and you guys know papa meat my second last video was a documentary that was really cool yeah yeah we didn't talk about that because you got to go to like uh hunter's farm and see like the donkeys his life i didn't realize he had that many pets cody have you seen that video no i've not seen that it was so fun he has a lot of pets yeah like a farm of pets i know he's good as like his hound dog but he's got the basset hounds yeah brandon and i just hung out with him yeah we we did our planning trip for the uh the range day this year so yeah we we have our range day every year we bring a bunch of creators out and they have a good time so we went out there to like scout our ranging day and look at the range and stuff and we just happened to be there in our hotel and papa meat was there i was the last one to show up yeah by coincidence i was the last one to show up and i i go to the floor like we're gonna play some blackjack lose some money and uh i see cody like i see everybody like at the tables and i see cody standing up talking to uh the hunter i'm like a course of course of course papa me was there so we got to gamble with him for a couple days like that was like two weeks ago or something like that what a great guy he rocks man he's just hammy rocks and can that man gamble yes really dude that would be such a fun video gambling with papa me the casinos would hate it i've never seen him walk away from a table with less than he brought to the table really like that man yeah he's he he can gamble smart man you know what like a good luck churn right he's the opposite of that for me anytime he shows up at the table he'll just give me advice i'll take it and i lose every time always double on six but what he's one of my favorite people just because he's just so independently just organically funny yeah i feel like uh people should really appreciate him providing such high quality animations to youtube for free it's like such a such a cool thing because he doesn't do sponsorships he doesn't do any of that stuff for like his for his main channel yeah canyon channel yeah it's probably me then i would be coming as may and that thing is crushing oh my god bro and then creepcast which is yeah one of the coolest parts about being a youtuber is just getting uh being able to hang out with cool people and that being like your job like we're working right now i think that's pretty that's pretty cool that's that's pretty insane dude it's a good job given the the past jobs that we had eli got shot i was a cop you manufactured firearms hank joined bj's wholesale club the day he became a father of 30. i coach football now coach hank saves up to 25 off grocery store prices 30 pounds of pasta three cases of protein bars 75 sports drinks and that's just pre-game he knows teamwork and bj's knows savings this is your home coach home of the save join for just twenty dollars at bj's dot com slash mesquite and save ten cents per gallon for six months open soon limited time offer new members only bj's home of the save i was at home it's crazy to be able to sit here and make money doing this you were what sorry elementary school art teacher no yeah i forgot about that i could have never seen that looking like weird ally yankovic that's why i can't see it hey kids happy clouds let's go these kids it's hard it's hard to i mean dude to to control a classroom of 37 children is is is difficult for sure so shout out to all the teachers out there it's a hard job yeah i could not do that nope no and you can't even tell them to shut the hell up please lower your volume you because you have no choice in the kids that you get you're just your place there with them yeah and where i was it was all about like positive reinforcement so if like a kid was jumping on the table you couldn't be like get off the table you'd have to be like please take a seat would you please have a seat no they actually think that works yeah is there studies that show that montgomery county maryland is there any studies that show that is i've you saying that right now like the right side of my face is hurting like just out of muscle memory yeah because your dad's slapping you well i don't dude it's you learn stuff through any time in life you better yourself when it's hard if it's just don't do that please take your seat there's no repercussions there's no difficulty you get to decide if you want to or not so you get hit you're like huh yeah i'm gonna you have a kid so yeah i feel like kids are masters of finding that line and getting right up to it or like just crossing it right so when you have 35 of them they're all trying to figure out what the rules are and how close they can get to them without getting in trouble so if the rules are so loose and the the teacher has to be so like gentle and kind they're gonna like run all over you and that was a situation i found myself in i was like dude these kids are damn near bullying me i can't do i saw a video the other day it was i think it was earlier today it was on instagram where like this guy was like client or he was he was doing a run with this kid his kid was crying and he's like is it hard like do you want to quit that's why we don't quit and whatever like he's just like giving him like a pep talk like the the kid's like crying like he wants to to go home he's like no this is why we got to keep going and apparently it went viral and he's like hey i'm the guy from this video i saw your internet comments and i've decided i've completely changed my mind and so he did another like parody video of that he's like i'm sorry buddy you want to quit that's okay you can tomorrow we'll try again and then we'll quit again like it's okay if anything gets hard in life just quit it's not a problem you'll have no negative effects on this whatsoever awesome dad right there yeah proper like this is how stupid you sound yeah one of the craziest things when i was a teacher is you couldn't take uh there was like no punishment so you couldn't give kids suspension unless the police were involved you couldn't take their recess there was like no um you couldn't you know there was no you couldn't suspend kids without the police no like if a kid stabbed another kid with scissors the only way you could suspend them was if a police report was filed at least in montgomery county maryland where i taught um that's so essentially like a kid would strangle another kid and if you if i took his recess then to like you know talk to him about what he did and punish him i would get in trouble so what they would do if the kid misbehaved is they would give him a laptop to play video games and if you just think about that like this positive reinforcement for negative behavior dude if i mean if if i could still like do my job and get and get to play video games if i around i would wreck this set right now and go smash my laptop and crush premiere pro you know what i mean and just play games because you know you're like incentivized at that point to not do the right thing you know what i'm saying oh a thousand yeah no no no that is wild i know when ryden had that one kid that like this is like first grade kindergarten like little ryden and the kid ryan went down the slide and then another kid went down and ryden didn't move fast enough and uh so he got like bumps or something and ryden was like oh i am sorry and went to hug the kid to say sorry and the kid pushed him down we got called to the school they're like hey incident recess this kid pushed down the kid but uh he said sorry so just if brian says anything that's what happened i was like okay well if it happens again you're gonna have to call the parents here and they're gonna have to talk to me i promise it's gonna go a different way so are we good and they're like oh uh-huh like you gotta see it's like oh he's gonna handle it like with the parents i'm like i do not with that about what age did uh was it like very apparent that uh ryden was dealing with autism two to three two to three okay so this is like well after yeah this is three years after and you could like it's writing like he has his voice and how i am sorry and like he was in the special needs class for that stuff so it was like hey general gin pop special needs with the gym pop you were gonna do like the true detective season two just beat the out of the dad like you do it again listen kid watch this this is for you what do you do if a kid is throwing your child to the ground at school you go and you threaten you know the right and you go and you go and you go and you go you go talk sternly to the teachers and then tell them to let the parents know that you want to also sternly talk with them and that usually rectifies situations and if it doesn't then you do a glock talk with the switch yeah is that the yeah is that what you've learned from your friends yes i'm very intelligent gang sign gang gang oh yeah here you go uh rapper name or there there's eight names rapper name or fake name we'll go with um okay how many how many real names and five are real three are fake okay okay we got uh ybc doll real real okay we got little pat real fake which one real fake it's fake first one was real we got blood doug real come on it's gonna be real that's a fake one damn really we got two on the nose bloodhound q50 real real good job we got these are just xbox live names they're gamer tags exactly little smoke i want to lean fake fake good job that was a fake one uh bloodhound little jeff real real yeah and then og man man real real yep yep they really are the just gamer tags yeah they are it's so funny do they just stop caring at a certain point is like yeah is it just gamer tags at that point because it does sound like them q50 is highly specific i i i love watching your videos because i used to have to deal with these same kids that you're dealing with in your videos but it's like i was a cop 12 years ago and seeing you deal with them these days it's the same fucking kids dude it doesn't think it's so awesome to just like shoot out the block and do all this shit and like nothing really changes what's the time frame difference on that it's like 15 years 10 years yeah it's like 12 13 years yeah since i've been a cop and then he's dealing with the same kids and they they fucking the look that they look the same no because they're black but they they look the same they act the same it's the same attitude it's like yeah they're they're still like just trying to act out to like do something in their world like just do something they've done even even if it's like shooting at people stealing a car or whatever they're doing the same shit because they just want to make a name for something yeah they just want to be out there in in the world and it sucks yeah i threw their shoes the lack of storm drain could you uh could you expand on that story a bit cold roll off i threw the shoes in the storm i don't even know what that means but it sounds violent no i do okay i know what it means but if you add a context it is a very dark quote it's one of my favorite stories from uh from your policing days because i think you got it from a movie didn't you i got it from uh the wire yeah that's based in maryland that's based near baltimore yeah yeah it's baltimore yeah no like it's it and it's just crazy seeing that the same thing like watching your videos and seeing they're acting the same way from the kids that i saw like when i was a cop like 13 years ago it's the same thing like like we were just saying like they just want to make a name for themselves even if it involves just like shooting up the neighborhood as their grandmothers have a house and well yeah what's crazy with the the the rap genre of drill rap is you're you're kind of a um incentivized real rap yeah drill rap it's like a subgenre of hip-hop you're kind of incentivized to go do these violent heinous acts and you can still get signed to a record label you know if like the buzz about you is you've killed four or five people it's not like you're going to be blackwalled you're probably going to have more opportunities so

outstanding cool it's a fact 100 it's so weird it's the fucking weirdest thing that is wild most other like uh areas of society if people know you've killed people illegally like that you're gonna be barred yeah you know that's i didn't know that they i don't think it's i don't think it's cancel culture when you literally murder a person yeah it's like all there's cancel culture like he said something i don't agree with it's like no he slotted a guy outside of cvs like that feels like a very serious offense seems like reasonable culture but you know just sign that too like even from a business side it's fucking wild to try to promote any idea like any part of that process of oh here's his manager or the owner and be like yo we need to sign him because he just iced three people have you heard his rap like yeah that's wild to be like we need them well and people get mad at me for making videos about it but like i don't force them to act any type of way they're already making music that's on the radio getting you know millions and billions of views and it's really the record labels that are profiting the most because they're signing these people that are doing crime and if they go to jail or they die who gets paid it's the label when you when you when you say people get mad at you uh what are they saying oh you know i'm a culture vulture i'm taking advantage of these people i'm taking advantage of that fuck that they're already killing each other don't ever let anyone make you feel bad that you're showing this is the shit they're doing like to each other every day killing each other in their own culture i'm showing the reality of it and if you watch my videos i'm never egging it on i'm pretty much i'm hanging with them like i'm hanging with you guys and it's just they choose to talk i'm not like so did you kill so-and-so like they're the ones that are like bringing these things up i'm hanging out volunteering it i'm you can essentially see the perspective of what's it like if brandon goes and hangs out with this person i don't come with like a weird slant you know no you go in you're very i mean you're transparent on everything you just go in and you just act you just befriend everyone yeah and i'm not the moment and if they talk about something i might do a talking head explaining like what the hell they're talking about but i don't come with these like loaded questions a lot of uh hip-hop journalists do but you know that's because that's what the people want essentially that's one thing i will give you flowers for a little bit real quick is like a lot of your your journalism and the documentaries you've done so far have uh like there's so many people on youtube that'll just egg the shit on and try to just like create scenarios for content stuff like that you just let it fly you you just straight up like hey i'm gonna go to this place where something's happening and i'm just gonna be a normal fucking guy and report on it and i i appreciate that because it's not manufactured yeah you just go out there and you're doing real journalism which is something that most real journalists don't even do anymore and also brandon what he doesn't do he doesn't try to cause chaos he's not like yeah what did little fucking blip say about little blood about here you just go in you're just like well why why are you mad at him what's going on i don't want to stoke anything but it seems like yellow journalism has become the norm you know these weird slanted shit but yeah that's what's so interesting um about uh january 6th as i was there from i forgot about the morning into the night and i had no idea it was like such a violent white supremacist rampage because i was there the whole time and i'm not like the bravest toughest guy i get like nervous and shook up and i was there all day and i was shocked when i got home and saw the news that it was like such a you know obviously they broke into the capital building but it wasn't that violent like we watched the video yesterday dude i was about to say it is wild how have you not looked into this uh yes but again it's like i don't trust all aspects but when you have him filming because you get to see the footage i never understood it's like violent because nothing showed the true violence the violent mob that like stuck within the red ropes yes and like we're why walk in but when your video really shows everyone's just there for like this that whatever their beliefs are on that entire event it's still peaceful and they're not yelling racist shit they're just being very respectful to everyone even you that chinese lady that was crying yeah there's like a chinese lady crying where is god yeah she's like this shouldn't have happened he should be in office what's going on this should not have happened he should be an office like very heavy asian accent thank you i didn't understand it otherwise eli thank you translating for me but yeah it's wild to see how big how how they swayed that narrative though it's and we talked about like yours that was my first time really seeing how they will switch you know how it's going to be in the future and how they're going to be doing it in the future and i think it's really important that we get to know each other and i think that's going to be really important that we get to know each other and i think it's really important that we get to know each other and i think it's really important that we get to know each other and i think it's really important that we get to know each other and i think it's really important that we get to person you guys have seen who i actually am and to see what the media portrays me to be it's like it's insane you kind of like see the the media twist and like these people are not our friends most of the time which is why i think your stuff is so refreshing because i i think a lot of what you tap into with a lot of your what i will call actual journalism is very much in the same vein as what vice news was 10 years ago yeah like i feel like it's that same like guerrilla journalism that people are actually interested in and not just like slanted stuff it's funny because it's i feel like it's easier to do authentic journalism like of course everyone has some kind of biases but you have to put more effort into like uh you know slant things and skew them like a jerk off it's pretty easy to just be like hey what's going on tell me how you feel you know at these notable um things like january 6th but yeah i feel like my video was shot a band because uh police or not police reports news reports on it will have like 5 10 million views where they don't show any footage i have like you know an hour edited down into 15 minutes of like raw on the ground footage it's pretty interesting there's transgender people there's chinese people there's black people there's women and nobody is being aggressive or violent everyone was getting along they even sung the national anthem on the steps of the the capitol building together like everyone oh shit it's dude is like it's wild especially when you hear how that was twisted to when you watch this footage and it's not like a little one-off it's throughout the day yours covers everything it's just the only violence i saw was a cop shot a guy through the face with a rubber bullet it was the only thing i saw but you know that's because they were trying to get them to get out of there but yeah i've been to concerts that were scarier than january 6th and i have no incentive to say that like i'd have no problem being like it was a madhouse right i don't care it would theoretically be a better video for you if it was yeah it would be more viral if i was like they were crazy yeah but well i remember your your stream coverage because that was i think one of the biggest live streams you ever did was covering all the news news footage at the time right yeah at the time i had ninety seven thousand concurrent viewers watching me hank joined bj's wholesale club the day he became a father of 30 i coach football now coach hank saves up to 25 off grocery store prices 30 pounds of pasta three cases of protein bars 75 sports drinks and that's just pre-game he knows teamwork and bj's knows savings this is your home coach home of the save join for just twenty dollars at bjs.com slash mesquite and save 10 cents per gallon for six months open soon limited time offer new members bj's home of the save which is fucking insane all i did i turned on my computer that day on january 6th and i was like guys i'm gonna cover everything that's happening and i just skipped between news channels and it didn't get too crazy there were a couple people that were like trying to burn flags and shit in there and the people around them were trying to keep them from like burning i think those guys were feds i think the flag burning people with their faces covered i feel like we're feds dude like i remember my stream specifically there were people trying to cause trouble and there were people taking their like stopping them from causing trouble and they were like we're trying to have a protest right now i think a lot of people like on jan 6 i think there was a really good job with a lot of the like true believers like just the people that were there for the right reasons that did a lot of self-policing that like when somebody would say like oh let's go commit an act of violence they'd be like no and they shut that down that they shut that shit down pretty yeah and all the mass crazy uh instigators they didn't want to be on camera they didn't they wouldn't give me an interview so i don't know they there was people there with nefarious intentions for sure for sure yeah i remember specifically there was a group of people i was watching it on live stream there was 97 000 people there with me watching this live stream and there was a dude trying to take the news camera like take their cameras away from them and the dudes were in like american flag shirts and dudes were like we're just trying to we're just here just to be here we're trying to keep him from taking the news cameras away from them so there were people trying to fight the the like the actual anchors doing their job and the dudes in like the american flag shirts were trying to keep those guys from taking cameras away from people because they were like we just know we just won't like we just need news coverage like we're not doing anything bad yeah do you know who else was there that day that is now like a big youtuber yeah january 6th nick shirley oh yeah oh surely yeah he did coverage i met him at the uh the ufc 250 yeah he's a cool guy i reached out to him he's uh down to come on the podcast if you guys i'd love to have him yeah yeah seems like a good kid we love you what you've been doing we know you're racist and all that but we still look past that now you're crushing it dude it's ignore this guy it's wild to see how they tried to even paint him like that dude looks like the most innocent i'm just doing journalism and i'm not meeting him that's what i get from watching he's just a journalist he's doing like basic shit that journalists should be doing like he's really doing like i actually i was talking to somebody earlier today and i compared you with like nick shirley in a way where i'm like yeah it's just like an independent guy with a camera that's doing shit that journalists used to do before the job was just spinning a narrative yeah tommy g's another one of those people um and yeah i had no idea nick shirley was such an evil guy i've known him for like five years oh dude apparently he's really atrocious is it is like him because he goes in it's just like here is all the data and when we watch the minnesota where yeah daycare yeah minneapolis daycare one i was like i just seen snow and then when he really says like everyone's gonna think he filmed this in one day and it was the day before christmas not understanding it was probably filmed for like weeks leading up to that and i was like and then you watched narrative happen it was like oh yep there we go all the leering center fraud bullshit yeah it's crazy and how could you not be upset about that as a taxpayer yeah like no one benefits from those people uh doing uh daycare fraud except them so yeah you should be upset about it he's not antagonizing people too that's where you're talking about the journalism that you do comes in where you just you're just asking people questions the same thing that nick does hey what's going on here hey what's going on here you shouldn't get mad at that just asking people questions it's insane yeah it's not leading questions either it's not like i'm coming up to you on the street like uh when have you decided to stop beating your wife you know like like different shit like that where it's like just insinuating wrongdoing you're just like hey i noticed that you received this amount um do you actually have any kids at your daycare center racist and then they immediately paint it was just like the worst person ever it's like that's these somalis let me tell you about these somalis right now that's crazy dude i don't know i can't i can't be on those kind of questions dude it's stuff that like any reasonable a reasonable person would just be like oh yeah we'll refer you over like our pr guy whatever like we'll we'll give you all the the data if you want it whatever but they just shut the fuck down well i think that was a racist i think a lot of those people have been arrested now i believe i could be wrong but i think like yeah i think they've been a lot of those probably not enough yeah not enough but how much money was taken it's like you are man it is wild now that you guys are pointing out it's like you have such a clean way to document everything tyler olivera is like he's big but he dude i love his content but it's still more leading like versus how you do it you approach it he still has that he's like hey these people piece of shit and he calls them out which i do love yeah you go in just like i'm being friends with everyone yeah yeah people don't really know what uh what i am exactly you know what i mean i get it from both sides i'm like called a racist nazi and also called like a you know antifa fruitcake so that means you're pissing off the right people yeah how many in passes do you have at this point infinite no it's actually for every time he's not a coward every time someone one of your homeboys get shot as a white person you get three n-word passes i've already used mine up though already so i'm out no you can use them all right now you do know one of those no kidding no no kidding you do know one of those hood rats would pull a fucking glock out and shoot you in the chest with it i know at any moment yeah and then use that as a badge of honor yeah i really don't want to die that way i also don't want to die from septic pneumonia or cocksucky it's cocksucker virus let's talk about that a little bit because you you had a very serious health care uh health scare recently yeah it was the same thing that uh the nascar driver kyle bush passed away from uh pneumonia so you have like infection in your lungs and then it gets into your bloodstream and it shuts all your organs down same thing that ben askren had that rotted away his lungs he had to get a lung transplant because like if you look at the before after of ben askren like it was pretty serious that's what he had yeah oh i didn't realize that was pneumonia yours was bad but i'll let you tell that because it's wild yeah i mean i had like a stomach a stomach condition for like about like two months where i was vomiting like every day or every few days and we couldn't figure out what was going on i'd been to the hospital four times and then one morning i woke up my feet were completely swollen like huge you know what i mean like you could almost pop them it felt like and i was deaf and uh luckily my water retention or like yeah just i don't know if it's water retention or blood or whatever um and they took me to the emergency room and they immediately put me in an ambulance sent me to dallas uh medical city and i was in icu for two weeks and it was like a whole week of the doctor essentially not knowing if i was gonna live or die because my ejection fraction which is how much blood your heart pumps to your body was at like between eight and twelve uh what it should be in a healthy person it would be like 75 percent so yeah it was horrible i feel like i was suffocating because i couldn't breathe out of my lungs my uh heart wasn't beating enough blood to my body so never like intubate you or like did it not matter because your heart wasn't working right that was like yeah the next step would that for them to be like put me uh you know on like a feeding tube or a calm induced coma or whatever but luckily i didn't get to that point they were really considering the last few days before things got positive um putting a pacemaker in because that's like what helps your uh heartbeat but yeah that was definitely the most way more traumatic than the shootings because the shootings happen quick and then they're over but this was like seven days and nights of being like on the border of about to be dead so it was terrible and yeah i'm still on i'm gonna be on three heart medications for the rest of my life let's start metoprolol and spirulina yeah just uh reference that standard ejection fraction is normals 50 to 70 yeah mild mildly reduced borderline 41 to 49 reduced heart failure at 40 percent or less and you were at fucking 10 percent yeah around 10 percent yeah full-on heart failure oh it was terrible i couldn't breathe it was hard to talk and something else that's interesting if you can't breathe at all you can't laugh because i remember like trying to like some if some funny shit would be said and i'd be like because i couldn't get enough air to laugh i remember that it was uh we facetimed and then i got off the call just to wish you like hey get better he was struggling like like hey and then winded like you just say one word and winded a lot of times it's a it's a little bit disappointing when you're dealing with doctors or multiple doctors that's why i started using superpower not that kind but they do have a simple blood draw that gives you information on over 100 of your biomarkers that's way more than you normally get with a standard doctor visit and the best part is you can do it all in one place with superpower instead of going through one of those expensive like very expensive you can do it all in one place with superpower instead of going through one of those expensive blood panels that a lot of doctors would charge you for mine was over a thousand dollars like the first time i got it done and this is a proactive preventative health care which is which is why the biomarkers are so important for different things like you know not even just like cancers and things like that but you can figure out ways that your body will respond to things later on down the road before they become a problem 85 percent of members uncover early risk factors for diseases 79 percent members uncover heart disease oh good god yeah 49 percent of members slow their speed of aging legit if you've never had your bloods done i mean it's something that we talk about i mean we've talked about before on the podcast if you've never had it done get it done it's it's actually a very good thing for you not just for the now but moving forward in the future and superpowers is one of the most affordable 100 plus biomarkers all for 199 and it's hsa and fsa eligible go beyond your annual checkup and finally understand what's really going on inside your body you for a limited time our listeners are going to get 20 off to unlock your health membership head over to superpower.com and use code unsub to get 20 off your 199 superpower membership and after you sign up they're going to ask you how did you hear about superpower tell them unsub sends their regards to see you were actively making this condition worse exactly i was like oh drink me so tell me again about this story it was like there's back to socially exhausted and then you were physically exhausting him you were killing him yeah actually after i have the phone i was like eli's so annoying no i'm just kidding i was really thankful that you cared and so many people cared i was immediately once i seen i was like i'm gonna let you get off the phone and sleep buddy i was like rest holy shit i'm glad you're okay but the breathing everything was wild because it was like every breath was a problem for him so yeah it was crazy it was gnarly dude it was super gnarly i'm happy i didn't uh we're glad you pulled through die from that yeah it's been a great perspective enhancer having almost uh done leave it good no that's a bare minimum hey we're glad you're still alive bud yeah it's like that's that's crazy experience though god hooked me up in a big way because you know most people when that happens usually you just die or uh you know it could be worse like i could have had a lung transplant you know what i mean so to have that perspective and just be thankful for being able to my body operating and functioning i feel like has really helped with my mental uh perspective on things sure what's what's funny to me though is the amount of people like this is just the fucking internet in general but when all that shit was going down people were just like i think he's faking it he's faking it for views because obviously he wasn't getting enough beforehand yeah i was like i was on a pretty sort of pretty hot streak before the sickness and things have been a lot colder you know what i mean yeah well do you have any idea how you got sick in the first place so they don't know for sure like how pneumonia would happen it could happen you know a multitude of different ways but i think it was from vomiting and then maybe aspirating on a bit of the vomit and getting an infection pneumonia in my lungs and then yeah vomiting from uh they never found out what the vomiting was caused by no shit like so you know how like your wrist hurts really bad you go to the doctor they'll be like you have arthritis which is just like uh you know inflammation in your wrist they tell me you have irritable bowel syndrome like yeah whatever the hell that means i got here's 19 things that could have caused it it's like cool yeah but i took a bunch of um ulcer medication for my stomach and vomiting subsided so yeah just like eli with like his uh you know memory loss and like gaps in memory and things like that and he claims it's tbi but we just think he's old it's both i think he's making it making it up now it's just everything you're making it up for you who are you where am i right now just confused at life yeah dude that was again wild to see you go through all of that and then because you were down for the count for how many months oh man uh it was like two and a half full months of like really unable to do anything something that is really interesting is when you have heart failure your vision can be blurred so i had super blurry vision that kind of uh stopped me from being able to like edit my videos or do anything like a blood flow or yeah i guess something something like that um but yeah i got out of the hospital i'm six foot three i got out of the hospital about 140 144 pounds holy shit so i was uh you can see that you can see the video no i know you're you're lean as shit right now you're looking like timothy chalamet yeah and i'm like 180 right now so you can imagine 35 pounds holy fuck less that's insane it was pretty crazy but yeah i have an older brother named kyle who passed away at 34 years old from a heart attack so uh i'm super thankful that i got to like experience what i experienced and not just be done because he like didn't get a second chance at at life you know it was just kind of over for him he had his big catastrophic heart thing and it was done so i got to have mine and live and then um go on so well i love your positive mindset after too because we talked yesterday but you're just like i want to crush life and you have that new perspective you're like oh shit we are pretty fragile and it can end like that and then add a family kiddo in that mix you just really start to push yourself harder and you appreciate you look back at some of the stuff you used to get frustrated at or messed with you and you're like man that was nothing i have i should have laughed at that compared to what you seriously yeah it would be right now for me to be like all depressed and anxious would be such an injustice to uh god you know for like sparing me and letting me stay on earth i feel you know and everyone deals with depression and anxiety it's very normal but i i you know it's crazy to think about me being sad prior to the health problems because obviously my health is way worse now than it was before the heart failure like i'm still dealing with health stuff but um my mental side of things is so much better just because you know i see how bad it could be like dude if i if i if i had to uh like close my eyes and open them and i was in the heart failure mode it would just be so horrible so i'm really stoked that that's not happening it's relative everything you experience is relative and what you now you're like okay that's that sucked the most yeah so everything above that pretty cool fucking dopey shit that's that's i mean tab gets to hear it i'll be like she's like oh what's going on with this and i'm like yeah at least i'm not getting shot at like that's literally my bar of that sucks way worse that was eye-opening to me as well like on the jordan trip is like everywhere we went especially on that one base like everywhere we went it was okay here's the area we are uh 40 yards over that way that's the bunker we hide in if we get uh incoming you know we had to go into like bunkers like two or three times like not not had to like it wasn't like incoming thing or whatever but like we're just like going in there like they're showing us like the whole setup stuff like that and then you know leaving there knowing that i'm like getting a flight back to the u.s and 12 hours it's like oh thank you so much for coming out and i'm like i'm gonna go to the hospital i'm coming out whatever like thank you for for doing this i'm like dude i i have the easiest job here i get to go back home tomorrow you guys are stuck here like there's dudes that were out there on deployment for 10 11 12 months so far oh that that one the one picture you showed me you're playing cards with those kids they had to have been like 19 fucking 19 20 23 like one it's a lot of the kids that are out there now uh they they weren't around during 9 11. they weren't even born yeah because we were just talking about that i mean you're looking at it because your average infantry soldier is uh i want to say it's 19 18 or 19 it's a young age but 18 to 21 is when you're in you do your service you get out so it's all babies out of high school like comparative to us yeah and like like don't get me wrong like those guys were all fucking awesome but at the same time it's it's kind of mind-boggling for for guys like us to think about like these guys were born while guys like you were born and they were born and they were born and they were deployed in g-watt yeah that's yeah chris and me were talking about that it's like holy shit these guys are being born when i was deployed yeah because because we were sitting around the the table this morning we had breakfast this morning and and chris you know he he was in the surge i think he was in the surge too and then he he was a blackwater guy for the there for a minute and it's just crazy thinking about because you and i eli we're we're 10 years older than fucking brandon right here and then and then brandon got to go out and hang out with these like fucking 20 year olds but you're you're all amazing it's just you're doing a great job guys thank you again thank you uh every everyone out there the men women uh You signed the dotted line, and we truly respect you for that. What was even cooler was that the week prior to me getting there, or a couple days prior to me getting there, a bunch of the guys at that forward base that I went to the second day had all just decided in-country, definitely not for the bonus, but had decided to sign their re-enlistment. Yeah, you got to re-enlist. They did a bunch of re-enlistments the day before I got there. For anyone that doesn't know, it's when your time in service, you would either get out or you have a choice. Hey, I'll sign up for three to four to five more years. I'll get a bonus, and I have to swear back in and re-up my contract, essentially. So a few soldiers did that. Even all the shit that's going on right now, all those guys were willing. These were a lot of the dudes that, not being too specific with stuff, but if there was going to be a boots-on-the-ground action of any kind, these were the guys that were going to do it, and they were there in-country, haven't seen their families in God knows how long. They were the ones that decided. They decided to raise their hand and say, yes, I'll do it. I'll do it again. And they had you. They had me promote a few guys. I pinned their new ranks and stuff like that. That was a fun experience. That's fucking rad, dude. Did you punch it? Or were you like, I'm not going to do that? It was Velcro. It was the Velcros. So what we do now is here. Bam! Oh, you hit your buddy. Oh, well, I wish I would have known that. So next time we go, if we do that again, that's. I don't know if they still do that, but. No, because I know the Blood Wings, when I got the jump certs, they had to pin me twice because they fucked it up the first time. Eli, did Brandon get deployed? No, I did not. I got optioned. We get to go on. I had the choice of going there and choice of going home, which is more than I could say for most of the guys there. We're going to do a patrol, though. That's the one request I have when we go. I mean, the guys don't. I just want to go on a patrol. And then whoever wants to. Whoever wants to join, we should go on a patrol. Oh, I would love to. Yeah. I don't know how they do that. Can I pick my rifle? Huh? Yeah. What? Yeah, bring everything. I can pick my gun. I'm sure if we're going on a patrol, they won't say anything. I'm sure there's some drop agent. Can I talk to the local tier one guys and pick my gun from them? Hello, Delta gentlemen. May I have one of your rifles to go on patrol? They let me into some of the armories. Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah. I got some. Some photos we'll maybe put up, but. They're running some old school shit, man. Like a lot of those guys, especially the MPs and shit, they're running like, you know, 20-year-old M4s that are all like pick rail with the rail covers, like ancient aim points. What was my. I didn't see a single EOTech while I was there. Why do you think my text, when I seen your gun in the group chat, I was like, there is a non-zero percent chance that one of those guns I deployed with because it was the exact same, everything. I was like, okay, that's an M4A1, or A4, it's an M68 red dot, and then the bus. Everything lined up was like. That's the new contract FNs, actually. Oh, no shit. Yep. Yeah, I did not know that. But yeah, no, like a lot of that stuff, it's like, it's just, it looks so fucking old school. It's like, man, this is. Well, my. The tier one guys, I'm sure, get way different shit, but.

My favorite story that you told me earlier was you managed to find a fucking Ma Deuce on top of a truck and the army, like one of your people got in your round, was like, well, this is this. And you're like, son, I know more than you. I didn't say that. Somebody said it for me. I was nodding politely. Like, wow, this is a 50 Cal? He's just like, somebody stopped him. He was like, he knows. And I just went, yeah, I have one at home. Dude, you're a private survivor. But I get to get up and take a picture on the 50 Cal up there. And I fucked with the guy because I saw a loaded belt. Like it was a belt, like they're four to one, like four ball, one tracer. - Oh yeah. - Like it was loaded up. - Blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, red, or black maybe, actually? - Well, it's just standard ball round. It's like your standard 50 Cal ammo. So like four rounds of 50 Cal and then another round of 50 Cal, it's a tracer. - And it's marked. You'll see, like when I say blank, blank, blank, it's no markings. And then the tracer is red or black? - I think it's red, yeah. - Okay, I remember right. - But I was up there and I was fucking with the guy 'cause like he's down there and I'm up in the top of the MRAP. I go, so if I push these paddles down, what happens? Knowing he couldn't stop me if I wanted to. - Okay, no, no, no, no. - And he just kind of goes, he just like slumps his shoulders. He goes, the neighboring village and my boss will be equally upset. Yeah, okay, understood. No, it was a great time. All those guys were fucking amazing. - Dude, would you wanna go with us and do a doc if we go? - In Jordan? Hell yeah, I'll go anywhere. I love traveling. - You could do a doc with us. I think he does that. - I love the troops. - I talked earlier today with some of those people. They said they were opening it up potentially to the idea of doing more bases, like outside of not just Jordan, but like some of the other bases there. - I'm down. - Yeah, I could essentially act as just like the residential journalist guy to document whatever y'all wanted. You know, I don't really come to it with that much predetermined stuff. So you could just plug me into any situation, really. - I think for like, if we do two live shows, just back, back, come back, and then have him also do the other thing. - If we do like meet and greets at a couple of bases, like just like the opportunity to go hang out with the guys and do like two live shows at big, you know, big bases that they could put something on. Dude, I'd do that in a heartbeat. - If we go, we'll eat chow. We can serve chow. I'd be down to serve chow at like lunch. - Stay in contracts with a lot of local people. I found that out. - Ben, you being the amazing journalist that you are, just walk around and be like, "Hey, what's up? What's your daily life like?" - Yeah, that'd be really interesting. - I don't know how far that would go just to show people like what's happening. - And the amount of people that showed me videos too, of like, oh yeah, during Operation Epic Fury, like when all that stuff kicked off with Ron for like the first like week or so. They're just like, oh yeah, we would get like incoming like 14, 15 times per day, like in the very beginning of it. And they showed me video, like as we're standing in the place that video was taken. Like, oh yeah, this is video of all the stuff being intercepted over the base like shit that was coming, like missiles that were coming from Iran to Israel that were being intercepted midair right above the base was fucking crazy. - That's gnarly. And how long were some of these guys on lockdown for? - Since the beginning. So like since like March. - Damn. So months and months. - Yeah. - Is there a lockdown they're just going to, they just stay on base 24/7? - Stay on base, like all the tourism activities, like before apparently you could go to like other places. There's a lot of places in Jordan that are very cool. Like, like Petra, things like that. Things you'd want to see, right? - You could actually go downtown and do stuff. - Now it's like they're, they're locked down on base. A lot of the recreational stuff. Like when we were at the second base we were at, they said that they haven't had a gathering of more than like a hundred people in months since Epic Fury kicked off. - Oh shit. Brandon, you were like, what do you guys do for a daily or something like that? - Yeah. Like what's, what's life like? What do you guys do for fun? How do you let off steam? What's on your mind? I'm curious what's on their, you know, what's on their mind as well. - That'd be a great question. I like asking people. - That'd be cool. - What's on your mind lately. - And so they, they don't, I don't know if they feel like this these days. They don't trust journalists very much. - And why would you? - I wouldn't. - Yeah, exactly. - Little bastards. - If you're coming with us. - I would never use the J word around you. Like you're, you're not a journalist. - Yeah, Brandon rolls with us. He's just like, hey guys, what are you up to? What's going on? Like, you're not going to make them look like assholes on CNN or any other major news network. - Brandon, Brandon, look what I got you. I got you your own poncho shirt. Cause you don't own one. - I've never had one. Editor, play any clip of unsubscribe. - You do always wear them. Why? - That's because poncho makes shirts for guys that actually go the outside. - That's right. You will touch grass when you wear a poncho. - You don't have to, if that scares you. But if you do like touching grass, these are a great shirt for you. - They have an inner mesh to like. - Yeah, dude. - What? - That's why it breathes so well. Like actually like in, in West Texas summer, like I'm on the road in West Texas all the time. Ponchos are like the uniform. Cause they, they look good, you know, the pearl snaps, everything like that. But they also actually breathe. So you can be outside and just kind of roll the sleeves up and like you look good and you feel good. - The boys and the pearl snaps. - And ladies love them for the record. - It's probably the best shirt he's ever worn. - I'm not even kidding on my daily attire. Poncho is like 75% of it. - I think everyone wears ponchos. - Yeah, cause it's great. Like it's, it's comfy. If you need to be professional, it can look professional, but otherwise just like going around, it breathes well. You could be outside doing sporty like it's just, it's all around just good for anything. - And they do have a little bit of stretch. - I didn't have to worry about the cost of refilling my wardrobe with ponchos because we had the code UNSUP. - How much do you save with that code? - Well, I'm glad you asked. If you go to ponchooutdoors.com/unsup, you'll get $10 off your first order. - It's a hell of a deal, Brandon. - To make it even better, you get free shipping on top of it. - By God, I'm going to start wearing poncho. - You'd be crazy not to. Like I feel like people call me a politician the same way they call you a journalist. - Yeah. - I mean, that's my title, but yeah, that's kind of what I do. - Yeah, for sure. Yeah, I mean, if I interviewed someone and then they saw the- final product and they felt like i misrepresented them i'd feel like such an asshole yeah you know what i mean i don't want to be that gotcha guy because also you don't need to you know what i mean i make these australian that's cool yeah rigged whatever could you be talking whatever could we be talking about you fucking cocks that happened before after they were on i think uh well before oh okay i wasn't sure on that way the boy boy yeah remember i that was like a big part of my video oh yeah you did defend you like yeah i forgot about that it's like a big part of my video like these guys came out there and they did this so like yeah i just see what it's really like i hate that shit because i'm like i at the end of the day like i really don't care where your political ties are like i'm not one of those guys that's like only political which is really funny for somebody in politics yeah but i get what you're saying i'm like dude as long as you're a realistic down-to-earth guy you're cool to hang out with you're genuine we'll get along like there's a habitual line crosser me and him have very different opinions on certain elements of foreign policy but he's still a good friend i'd die for that man good fucking guy you don't have to agree with everything i think i don't have to agree with everything you think but i'm still he's a he's a good down-to-earth human i love him to death you know when i watched the boy boy video on you guys i was just like bro that's so lame so lame how they did you bringing out the the child targets and stuff which that isn't even legal to do in most ranges you know what i mean yeah what they did so it's just like ridiculous trick being tricks and we didn't even know like we we got that we're like is this like a demo from some printing company like why the fuck are we getting these yeah they pretended like that was just something we had it was weird yeah i dissed him pretty heavily but then i did a video about lebanon and they commented on that being like complimentary towards me so i don't know i feel like there's you know there's a bridge there and i still don't like i feel like they're not just bad guys no no they just did a kind of a shitty thing and i still like i i got along with them great while they were there which that's that's the most disappointing thing because if i could just call them out as like a but we got along for like three days they make pretty good content i like their stuff besides that video yeah i like a lot of their stuff and i i think that they were they were cool guys to hang out with but it's like the fact that you would go to the nth degree to be that disingenuous is just it's irritating because i know you're capable of being really cool i think it's so i imagine i come out here hang out with you guys and then in my video with you guys it starts off at the a school shooting ground that's like that remember that's how their video started that's like bro that's pretty interesting context to start the video out and he he dm me afterwards basically apologizing for the video like why not because you know i'm here's well let me he dm me and basically he's like hey sorry but if i was going to make the video that i was going to make um i thought you wouldn't have allowed me to come out and you wouldn't have helped me with it i bet you still would have though and i told him yes i said i would have yeah even if i knew that was your tilt i would have helped you with it because it was a cool project i just would have asked that you give me an opportunity to say my piece to give the other side yes you're not blindsided that's that would have been all i asked for wow all right i'm different fuck you boy boy fuck you i did a thing you're pieces of fucking shit yeah i understand that perspective you guys welcomed them into your home and that's a blind side of you it's being so nice and like providing the ammo providing a lot of money that cost to shoot ammo guns three days of me and my my crew's time yeah thousands of dollars and you were being very respectful if they want to do such an anti-gun piece why do you guys have to be the vehicle that takes it there you know what i mean like why do why do you guys even have to be in that video i don't understand i think there's a lot of it was just oh we'll catch them off guard this is how they're gonna act and then it doesn't happen and they're like huh huh i thought they were gonna act a specific way like they would laugh at the kid targets and then when it's pushback like what are we doing oh i'm just disappointed because it could have been done in a way that like everybody wins both sides are represented fairly and we do a cool project like my video yeah still got a million and a half views i got paid you guys got uh you know to hang out with someone now you guys i don't know you guys it's good it's good it's like everyone is saying we would we would have like complied with everything you wanted to do and hang out with you and it's exactly what fucking brandon came down and did he did this he did such a good video yeah it was a great time we all had fun i really appreciate you guys providing me with that opportunity dude you've been a blast like we've always like i respect the show you make great content and then you're just all around a good dude and that was that was one of the things i was actually talking to my dad earlier today and he was asking like who the podcast guest was today and i kind of had to explain like what you did a little bit but i'm like no he's not like a lot of the other guys like and one of the things that stuck out as far as something that let me kind of like have an insight having not met you before but like having an insight on your character a bit is you know we had had like minor interactions in the past but when we invited you to range day and you had like a plus one like a camera guy uh but you would ask for an additional plus one which like occasionally happens like that's fine whatever but you'd ask for an additional plus one for your grandfather yeah like to come out to range day we were immediately like yes absolutely that sounds fucking awesome but like you know a lot of these guys would have brought out like a girlfriend or this or whatever and you're just like no my grandfather'd get a kick out of this yeah shout out to papa dude i love that guy that went such a long way as far as what's your video called that you made about brandon and like hanging out down here what was your video um i think inside the life of gun tubers i think yeah what's up with san antonio grinder i think was the title of that yeah yeah we're hot dudes in san antonio yeah five gay guys with guns yeah three big guys we float around bang yeah eight all our guns sound like that bang bang 18 naked cowboys in the showers at demolition ranch that's my machine gun dear god a couple guys in the audience got it that's fucking hilarious bang i want to make a gay sonny gun now it moans when you shoot it oh yeah no okay just having a muzzle brake instead of like a trumpet thing like just makes a gay noise is your million dollar idea the muzzle gay i'd be intimidating you just hear gay moans like oh my god they're coming literally oh get that yeah get that in the hand but one of those in the hood it's like double emotional damage yeah not fucked it you know what just killed me about those fucking hood rats though is oh hell they would they would i don't know why hood rats sound racist when you say it it sounds so racist when i say it anytime anytime you'd arrest them the like the biggest thing they could say against you was like you gay like you gay you gay yeah it's like i know when you guys go to juvie and you go to jail i know you fuck each other i know you do holy i know you do that didn't you say that you guys would use that against people where if you had like video of them fucking another dude like you would use that against like you would use that as like street blackmail you think the dudes at the fucking jail don't send us the videos that you guys fucking each other that's not gay if you're in prison and you're calling me gay i've seen you fuck another man no you call me gay you gay you gay as shit i've seen this happen like i have seen this happen that's wild dude you're not wrong though yeah oh fuck brand new one night brandon just faded away in bushes he just phases through his chair no yeah i trust chase do you want another drink yeah that'd be sick uh a little bit of coke with the with the sauce dude that's how have you had any police interactions when you're hanging out with any of the uh gangs or what i'm filming your videos yeah i would say the the most negative one was i was in courtland avenue in new york and i always have a fanny pack on me and i was leaving filming with the police and i was like oh my god i'm going to jail i'm going to jail i'm going to jail these guys and um like three cops um like jogged at me and essentially immediately put me in handcuffs without telling me anything and searched my fanny pack uh but i didn't really yeah they just immediately yeah which was pretty crazy it's definitely illegal but i kind of get it because it's like i look like i could be a crackhead hanging out either buying drugs or buying guns from people so i didn't like throw that big of a fit but yeah that was the worst experience it's like half on camera in the video or you just like yo cop swore me it's like yeah i was like i think it was three or four cops yeah they just like swore me but i i get it yeah i mean you're in that area and then what am i doing there it's like i'm a youtuber it's like yeah are you buying crack and have a gun i get it where they caught off guard when it's like oh as soon as they realized i didn't have anything on me they like left quick but beyond that i mean i've done dozens and dozens i've had no no negative interactions like we've had interactions but not really that negative you know a lot of times if you're respectful like every it's just it goes a long way it's what people don't get that was the one time i was like de-escalate or escalate the situation oh yeah de-escalate it by being nice and kind but i mean yeah i don't i don't blame them for thinking it's a hard trade-off yeah you get like everything dude that's if you're growing up and that's all you're surrounded by and then your parents are saying and reinforcing a certain behavior then you have no idea like it's just it's that generational battle of well yeah and then we had an interaction interesting interaction in kensington philadelphia if you guys are familiar with that that part of the country it's like one of the worst uh it's a drug drug place yeah it's like it's like skid row of phil of the east coast isn't like the hot like one of the highest uh places for fentanyl yeah fentanyl and something called uh trank or xylozine which is a horse tranquilizer that has uh necrosis factors like it rots your flesh cody have you got that uh crocodile similar in russia so this uh you've probably seen footage you ever seen where they do uh some of these drive-bys where it's just people like it looks grimy as fuck and then everyone's just zombying out yeah yes usually skid row in like la and shit like no it's the same same thing yeah same vibe just worse it is where i would say i've been to both of them videos on both it was worse but yeah my video in kensington is one of the few videos where i'm actually just hanging out with all those people over the course of two days all all night just like like we're hanging out right now um and it's a pretty insane perspective i'm curious what do you think that chemical mixes they're all like fucking with it's got to be some fent in there it's the the majority of it is fent and thank you so much and xylozine uh which is the a horse like i said like i said a horse tranquilizer that rots your flesh and they mix it up because it has like uh benzo properties so it's like uh you know anxiety reducing with the painkiller so they're just out so you can see my videos there and on um uh in vancouver east hastings street people will have no skin all over their legs or no skin all over their own brandon what what video is this that you're talking about your video um the the one is the king of kensington uh it's it's got like four million views i think it's my third most viewed video and then east hastings has like a million views it's life on east hastings street because you have such like a raw and unfiltered look at some of these societies and like some of these elements of society rather like do you get age restricted a bunch yeah there's some there's some problems uh with the monetization for sure but yeah that's why that's why things like pepper box and things like patreon are so beneficial because yeah people probably have a bit of a skewed perspective on how much money they think i make i wouldn't be making a gofundme for my health bills if i was like right i had millions of dollars in the bank because he's making one billion dollars off at this a month yeah no there's a lot of demonetizations and stuff like that and for me i'd rather have like a really good video that is evergreen than have it be all crazy censored and show like a warped uh version of reality and then i get paid off of like crap but should we put him on pepper box just answer down below yes who would like to see him on pepper box i think it'd be great a documentary section on pepper box would be sick we're looking and doing a few uh documentaries like with jack and stuff like that like that's something that we i think we i think it's also like a huge asset to pepper box too to be able to show like these unfiltered views in societies like that or elements of society where you can't do it on youtube because they'll they'll age restrict you and they'll basically just plummet you in the algorithm to the ground where nobody sees it yeah it's ridiculous some of their policies they don't make any sense like you can't even talk about um uh health sarm you know what i'm talking about wait what i don't want to say it because we're on youtube well you can't oh yeah you can't really talk about mental health stuff you really can't talk too much about drug addictions like in my videos uh like i've done segments where i'll go and i'll show like the addict suffering in the street and then i'll show like some of the places where they could get help and youtube will make me remove the rehab sections because you can't promote rehabilitation services on youtube because that's something we've talked about a bunch on the podcast before is like veterans and things that i think are incredibly fucking important but you can't talk about it without risking youtube you said the word brandon yeah no i said oh we have you can't say we have to use sewer slide stupid fucking words like sewer sewer slide or like what is it self so dumb self-delete like shit like that it's like dude you're just devaluing an issue that's one of the biggest things that we're facing and it needs to be talked about and not the action be normalized but talking about it should be normalized that's the only way that you can get help so when youtube makes it so impossible to talk about the only person suffering are the pisses me off because it's corporations like google that are basically making the decision that instead of actually finding ways that we can get these people help i'd rather have sponsorships from nabisco so people people can buy more oreos that's that's the decision that they're making because they want it to be advertiser friendly the trade-off funko pops it's wild when you put it in that perspective yeah that is messed up my friend offed himself but thank god that captain america funko pop came out yeah they got an extra two million from funko pops have any of you guys been to greenland before never oh oh well it kind of ends the conversation i don't know it doesn't yeah it makes it more interesting what's i've never been but i'm about to go next week so i just wanted to know if you guys had been and what it was like and everything i hear it's icy it is iceland and greenland but they're opposite with actually flip us off yeah dude sorry sorry but it's opposite and uh the scenery do you learn that from mighty ducks when we were growing up yes aubrey knows what i'm talking about there's the only the only reason i know the difference between like uh greenland and iceland is because growing up in the mighty ducks they said uh greenland is icy and iceland is green yep that's actual like true well yeah yeah yeah that's probably where i remember that from his mighty ducks back in the day like back in the day show off the mix on video ah see you guys watched it then play back with me mixing it so it looks like purple drank but what do you have there eli i have the longevity mix and this stuff actually tastes really good what's the purpose of the longevity mix longevity why would anyone want to live longer i don't know well if having more life is something that's interesting to you you should try blueprint now with one scoop what all do you get and why am i drinking it because it comes with everything magnesium glycerin creatine you name it it's in it and all in one scoop how does it taste there's no artificial sweeteners in this one can i try it yep no it's like it's a pretty like flavorless which in for something like this is a good thing this is blood orange that's why it's pink it also helps with your mood focus sleep cellular resilience and healthy aging it's what brian johnson uses which is why he looks so young if you don't know who brian johnson is he's the guy that is trying to live to be 200 he wants to live to the year 2140 means that he wants to be in his prime during the year 2077 because he's a major cyberpunk fan and because it is just one scoop you don't have to have all the pills and the bottles everywhere and even

and free shipping if they go to blueprint.brianjohnson.com using code unsub that's unsub at blueprint.brianjohnson.com i think greenland is like the biggest island in the world and there's only like 50 000 people living there but uh i've heard some interesting stuff about like tool air force base in the north part of greenland and there's like some stuff allegedly going on with russia and america and a possible you know conflict that's one of the reasons why greenland's always been very you know one of the reasons why we've always kind of looked at that is because it basically cuts our response time in half if we were ever going to have a nuclear threat or things like that like that that sort of response element is why one of the many reasons why greenland's always been appealing to the united states yeah it's super tactical position up there right yeah yeah because i mean anytime you're going to go to europe like you basically have to pass over iceland or excuse me greenland fuel everything from there so it's a lot shorter distance to just and they've they've allowed us to have bases there like we're we're allowed to basically be strategically located there nice what are you going up there for above if we can talk about it yeah of course i'm going to nuke and uh lulissat which are the two most inhabited places of greenland i'm going to do videos about like uh you know life in the arctic where life has a inuit and then i'm going to go to reykjavik iceland uh this viewer reached out to me saying that he was a former drug dealer and has all this information about the criminal underworld of iceland and now that sounds pretty interesting so i'm going to go out there and talk to this guy and all the people that he knows um i mean i'm kind of rolling the dice i don't really know him but i've talked to him on the phone it seems interesting you won't get shot but you might get ice picked through the heart way worse uh and then and then i'm going to ecalo at nunavut which is the northernmost province in canada just like a similar thing there's actually like uh 15 homeless people in this place called ecalo which is like freezing 10 months out of the year and uh yeah i just want to see what it's like for these people and you know what their every day is what what do you what do you think your biggest criminal enterprise is in greenland like what do you think that they're they're doing up there that's a good question i would think drugs well i mean definitely it's drugs everywhere what do you what do you think they're i don't know because i was looking into there's no like gangs or organized crime there's no domestic violence because it's too cold to not have clothes on yeah yeah seriously but it's it's methamphetamine yeah probably methamphetamine i would i haven't looked it up i'm just i'm just i think so if you're if you're in a like an isolated country like that and you're you're you're trying to build some type of illegal trade there it probably is going to be methamphetamine because i mean you can't grow anything yeah yeah exactly you can't grow there's probably not a big weed trade up there it's just and their days are no their days are wonky they what is it do you like do you look it up the highest drug usage is cannabis and psychedelics psychedelics well it's well very low rates for opioid or adhd meth drugs so those are the actual low use and they use the two opposites into i wouldn't have guessed like weed and get tripping balls but if it's that's fascinating rocks and stuff maybe they just it's gonna be methamphetamine you want to get up there yeah yeah i would have imagine they have something called the midnight sun like uh their days are so wonky like half the year it's bright all day half the year it's like dark all day it's pretty It's like the vampire movie. Yeah, pretty much. It'd be a great place for vampires. What's that fucking vampire movie? Yeah, 30 Days of Night. That movie was perfectly mid. Perfectly mid. It could have been cooler. Yeah, they eat whales and normal shit. Josh fucking Hartnett is in it, yeah. Are you going to try whale if you can? Yeah. People might be pissed. Whale meat? Yeah, it's illegal, but they can do it. I think that's part of their culture, yeah. It's like a religious thing. They have it in Japan as well. I tried it in Japan, allegedly. How was that? Or maybe I didn't. I don't know. It was like a mix between fish and steak. It was good. I had raw whale. Just because it's so high fat? I'm not sure what the fat count is. But I know people get really upset about it. But you can't complain about a culture that's been eating whale for hundreds of years doing what they do. Or maybe you can. Well, it's one of their, as you said, it's like a religious thing. Or it's this social thing they do once a year with stabbing the whales. Yeah. Right? Is that the right place? They bring them in and stab them with. No, in Greenland? I've seen that in Japan. I'm not sure in Greenland. But I know that it's like a big. There's not very many resources. So it's kind of something that they rely on. It's like seals and whale.

Home of the Save. You're not getting corn in the fucking ice. Am I wild with this? That is alarmingly fair. Yeah. That's really interesting. I think there's also a huge difference between hunting something to extinction for excess or for export or things like that versus this is something that my grandfather's grandfather, like, you know, this is something we've always done. And they're not at any risk if we do it at this rate. Yeah, they're not going buffalo mode. Yeah. I think they're being reasonable about it. If you pull up the fucking picture of like the stack of buffalo skulls that we had back in the day when we were like expanding onto the frontier, we kind of went ham. I don't know if that's a saying, but buffalo mode. It is now. Yeah. Like it's, you know what I'm fucking talking about. That's a good shirt, actually. Yo, I'm going buffalo mode and you just stacking bodies. Yeah. Ripping shit up. Just want to know. A skull. Yeah, dude. A buffalo skull. Buffalo mode. Yeah, that would be interesting. I want to do videos about life on the reservations for Native Americans. I feel like that'd be interesting. I haven't done that yet. We know some guys. You do? Yeah, we actually do. That's sick. If you want to get hooked up, we can probably make that happen. I would like that. I know like, yeah, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma are like big areas. Arizona. Yeah, Arizona, the Dakotas. You know, they have their own gangs too. So you got to watch out for that. I've heard that crime and drug use is really rampant in some of those communities. It's pretty gnarly. As well as mental health issues. Alcoholism. Yeah, they have a couple of issues. Yeah. Alcoholism. Why is it a problem? It's like their body. Well, so it's something that I always thought was overblown. Like I always thought like, oh, yeah, well, anybody could become like an alcoholic. Like if you, you know, with the wrong habits. One of my mentors back in the day, I will say, was majority like his bloodline. It was. Majority like Native American. And I always say, he's like, ah, no, I don't really drink, you know, beer, alcohol, anything like that. And one day he had a beer with us and I won't out him. He's still a very good friend. I love him to death. I thought it was always like super exaggerated. He had one angry orchard, like one, one, like sugary beer. And he was like, piss himself in his chair drunk. Yeah, because they metabolize it differently. Very differently. And I thought he was fucking with me. And he was piss himself. And you're like, I don't want to get up and go to the bathroom. Like he was that bad off. Whoa. And one off of one. And it's like 10 minutes later, he was fine. Like they just metabolize it super fucking fast. That's what I heard about Greenlanders as well. Really? Yeah. Interesting. So I was really, I was curious to go to the bars on a Friday night and see if I could, you know, capture some of that alcohol culture. Oh, because apparently they get like hammered off three drinks, like hammered, hammered. Isn't that wild reading? It's like they don't care about meth or anything. It's like cocaine and cannabis are their two main. Everything else is very low. That's Greenland. Brandon, real quick. If you, if you do the rest thing, we know a guy. Yeah, that'd be really cool. I've always been really interested. I've never done it. My grandfather has a half-blooded Native American sister. So I want to, I want to trace and see if I have any Native American roots. Well, like if she had kids, I would have Native American relatives. That would be really interesting. You might have claim to a casino. Seriously. I'm going to cash out. Blackjack. When it comes to law enforcement out there, just like let us know. Yeah, because it's different, right? The rules are, the rules are different on the reservation. They have their own self-governing situation. It's very strange because they're, they're within the continental United States, but they're kind of governed as their own independent, you know, sovereign type thing. Yeah. Not like sovereign citizen. This is where like legally they're actually sovereign. They just read something on Reddit. Yeah. I feel like there's a lot of interesting stories within there. Yeah. I was doing some research on like a, what, what, what was it like sitting bull? Do you know what I'm talking about? The guy, he died in like 1901. That's not that long ago. It's like the, the wild west and the end, the end of the Native American situation is pretty, pretty interesting how recent that was. Yeah. Like it's, it's definitely a, it's, it's kind of crazy how you'll read about these things throughout history and then you forget that like your grandfather was alive when it happened. Yeah. Like, you know, different things like that. It's, it's like, you don't, you don't contextualize it until you hear something like, yeah, Rosa Parks was alive to watch the movie Shrek. That's true. Oh, fuck. Wait a minute, dude. Yeah. That's crazy. That's super gnarly. In the past, Greenland government implemented temporary and local alcohol cell bans. This is also like 20 as recent as 2020 to curb domestic abuse and protect children. Yeah. Cause they're, they're chin checking their wives and kids off that liquor. So I read, I don't know. It's apparently a real thing. I don't know. I haven't been there. I don't know any of them. I don't think it's good that they're doing it while yeah. Crazy take. I don't think that's a good thing. Um, I've just never heard it called that. Which video are you most excited for coming up or do you have them planned that far out? We like, oh man, I really look forward to it. Oh dude. I'm most excited about the India video. Cause we went to India like last month, no shit for like 16 days. It was like the first thing I filmed since coming back from almost dying, which is probably not the most responsible decision, but how was it though? Like what, what, what would you say about your experience there, bro? So interestingly enough, India is so beautiful and just totally clean. And there's just no trash anywhere. I'd like to believe you know, I was, I hope it's true. I was hoping I could find a little enclave that was like that, but no, it was very, very, very filthy and a lot of piss and shit everywhere. But, um, that's just cause they're having sanitation issues, but it was a really fun trip and I really enjoyed my time. I went to New Delhi, Agra, Varanasi and Mumbai. So we went all around and Indian people were great to us, but there's definitely some trash problems. I grew up around a lot of, uh, a lot of people that were like straight, like, uh, like not first generation, but like second generation Indians who had made it to the United States. Like I grew up around a lot of that culture and, uh, none of them want to go back. It's dude, there's this culture of driving there where everyone honks their horn at all times. Have you ever heard about this? No, like, uh, Eli was with me. It was so insane. I'm talking about, imagine, I know there's a thousand cars in deadlock traffic and every car is honking their horn. Why? It's apparently like, uh, just their culture of driving. Like I'm here, like on the back of big 16 wheelers, there's like signs that say, blow your horn. I wish I was making it up, but me as like a little autistic. A retard. I was like spazzing out with all the horns. I was like, that sounds fucking awful. Like overstimulated. Yeah, it was very overstimulating. Um, but we, we did a bunch of, a bunch of interesting stuff. Like we went to the city of Varanasi, which is called the city of death. And we spoke to an, a gory cannibal, a man that, uh, is a, uh, I mean, not, it's not alleged. He eats human flesh and we went to this GAT, this crematorium GAT where they burn like, uh, over a hundred bodies every day. So what's the scenario in which he, so as a, an open cannibal that he eats human flesh. A, why and B, how? Um, so why is a, is apparently to, uh, distance their fear of death. So they're like, apparently drink piss and eat shit and eat human bodies and, you know, hang out by these crematorium GATs to lessen their fear and lower their ego is, is what they say. But this guy just fucking smoked weed all day and was kind of a dickhead to be honest. But he also just ate human flesh. He had the skull of like a 10 year old and a 12 year old that he carried around. That he, you know, severed from a body, um, which I, I think is, you know, desecration of a corpse and isn't cool. But does he know that's wrong? Well, they, they, it's apparently like accepted in their culture. So it's like, you know, who am I to say it's wrong? But the way that I feel is like, yeah, dude, that guy should be in, in prison or at least have his ass kicked. Maybe I shouldn't say that, but, um, that's, that's fucking wild. It was like, oh, it's to lessen my fear of death. And I was like, you could just also like, I don't know, go to church or something like that. You don't have to eat the flesh of a 10 year old. 10-year-old. Yeah, do some push-ups in it, Matt. yeah just anything literally anything that just helps you with your yeah we have that video and a bunch of youtubers have done a video with this exact same guy raj kumar gori i just thought he was a bit of a jerk off and i don't i don't rush to say that about somebody but he was uh he wasn't he was annoying bro like he he thought he was the shit and he i just thought he was a weirdo with these skulls and doing this weird uh ceremony and stuff i don't want to do you feel like it was a lot of hyping it up yeah like i did all this and it's just like and stolen valor exactly like he's a cannibal stolen value if you look him up online he's like had all these different girlfriends and apparently they're real gory they wouldn't ever be on camera they like hide in the hills and stuff so you know i don't know what to believe but um that was a really interesting video i'm excited for and then there's a video about the balsawa village uh i'm probably saying that wrong but it's a it's a village that's right next to a landfill and the landfill has been overflowing it's like 100 to 300 feet high trash and it's like pouring over this village where rent is like twenty dollars a month and we got to go in there and talk to people and it's like it's like a village that's like a village that's like a village that's met some really kind individuals individuals that like you know welcomes welcomed us into their homes and their church and you know gave us food they call india the land of a thousand shopkeepers because everyone's selling everywhere it was cool i did not know it was called that i think like i hope i'm not just making it up brandon i i love you so much man but after like we thought you were dying last year and we were so worried about you you went to an indian encampment where people eat eat other people under a landfill and this was my first thing back yes probably a bit stupid okay okay we we love you we love you very sorry why do they have such a complicated relationship with trains yeah they just can't figure out that those things are dangerous i guess i don't really know and here we have the local punjab deciding to stand right where predictably his natural predator the train will be why are there so many videos on twitter of them getting hit by trains i don't get it there was actually i saw there was a viral unsub short of me doing the david attenborough voice on the whole indian train thing and half the people in the comments didn't know it was me doing the voice they're like how'd you ai david attenborough it's really good honestly but they really do yeah i i really don't get it and i understand that there's like a certain like cultural uh part of it where it's like a proof of i don't know bravery or it's like look at how will how close i'm willing to get to this thing that will predict predictively kill me yeah the train boys the train boys just go out fight trains it's like just doing the back clips imagine like living your entire life women wait oh so there's actually yeah no i brought this up i didn't know it was to court women i've seen that the videos of them doing a flip and then like trying to you know get some yeah it's like a problem i don't know what to do with it but it's like it's like a bravery thing or like how like oh look at how cool i am or whatever and then they get smoked by thomas the dank engine it's it's crazy yeah the bat well i was like the backflips because i got the videos i'm like trying it and they never very rarely accomplish backflip and then they're like paralyzed from there's some interesting stuff have you guys heard about gorhaba the festival that isn't it yeah i think uh tyler tyler went there so we were scheduled to go there in 2024 and they ended up stopping us on the airplane like they we got we got to india and wouldn't let us in they they revoked our e-visa on the airplane how uh i don't know i just feel like that shouldn't be allowed so we we were supposed to be on 2024 and then tyler did it in 2025. it's a whole festival where they uh throw at each other cow because cows are sacred and you know they eat poop they drink pee they smear poop on their face poop can help them sleep it can help them wake up it can help them with stomach problems it can help all kinds of things if you look at them import two million of them to texas right now we need them i'm just happy i was like yeah crazy culture we really did like we we got the lottery like this is the greatest country in the world dude if you look at it if you look at the proposed medical benefits of poop in india and not everywhere but in certain places it's crazy wait this is actually like truly i'm not even being funny poopy is it's wholly medicinal yeah so something that went through a cow's body that started as grass these are the health benefits of potentially consuming the waste byproduct it sounds just like a racist fever dream joke but they they're the ones that are doing it and thinking of it like you know what i mean i'm not what are they saying it does oh all kinds of stuff they even there's even a thing where they think that smearing a certain poop pee concoction can lighten your skin um on their face yeah there's all kinds of stuff cody i need you to open your tongue and stick it out and go ah okay and i just place a turd on it anyone's yeah anyone who's mad about this information we didn't make this up i cannot see a way one would think that smearing cow on your tongue would lighten your skin it's the age of information what's wild because if you go on i mean ig you get to see some of the weird stuff like when they're doing uh dude that dude he's like dr pimple popper but for india but he just uses the same knife over on the like public watches people use them as soaps toothpastes and immune boosters they are also used in spiritual cleansings however doctors warn against these treatments there is no real proof that poop cures illnesses so yeah you know you don't want to we don't want to be saying this but we're getting this from them us apparently they think that poops can help with immunity to all different kinds of illnesses it can help with antimicrobial stuff it can help with cancer i mean the list goes on and on and on poop is like the greatest i can't even say it poop is like the the shows off camera just not she's like yeah now i'm joking she's not looking disgusted right now it has so many uses the percentage of people in ireland who believe this has gone up recently true and in frisco dude poop has gotten popular in frisco i've heard i've heard that as well yeah but to be fair apparently it's not all indians plenty of indians are not into the poop games no not like i grew up around a lot of like second generational uh like indians and things like that and like there's a lot of interesting holdovers from indian culture but a lot of them are like very secular like very like very first world let's say so they probably think it's just as weird as we do yeah like if you were raised in the united states like a lot of them are still just like kind of like looking back at like traditional indian customs and that's that's what i was saying earlier is like they don't want to go back they're like what the are these people talking about i don't blame them it's hard and when you're raised in it again it is that taking that step back and you have to understand from their perspective there is no age of information or it's very different compared to what we get here and all the time if your parents are like yo did you take your turd sandwich it's tuesday you're going to believe turd sandwich on tuesday is extremely important yeah and you continue to do that and you'll pass that on to your kids and your kids kids you have to get whiter so you can go to a higher cast they have a caste system it's crazy we got to see the talisman india has a lot of beauty and a lot of cool things like it's it's a very complicated uh place i feel you know i mean there's some really incredible stuff and the fact that they built the taj mahal and what the 15 or 1600s is pretty wild that one building is older than our entire country like that's kind of like a crazy concept for us yeah and it's like a testament to actually some of their civilizational prowess i know people might laugh at that but dude just go just visit that place it's crazy but the taj mahal like in the modern day you'd think like this beautiful wonder of the world has like a booming uh tourist economy and like rich people around it is surrounded by like the poorest of the poor it was one of the worst slums we went to was like literally all of agra around the taj mahal which was interesting and that's something too we've had friends that have gone there and they're like worn against bringing like if you have like a a blonde girlfriend or something like that just absolutely do not bring them into that country yeah i wouldn't personally but hey do your own do your own thing if you want to go ahead i wouldn't there's ramana john that's the indian dude that was like do you know ramana john no i don't think so he's the one that ama the movie is that one indian dude that was born in a low cast and then he just taught himself mathematics got to harvard was it harvard cambridge like they got him into cambridge because he just wrote a whole bunch of different uh papers and the the professors at cambridge at the time were opening and they're like what the is all this and he solved a lot of they had no idea all self-taught he just read books that sounds really interesting oh cool one guy in the world figured out how to not eat literally that's really cool eli i thought he did great what's crazy is they worship the cow right and there's cows everywhere in the streets like there'll be a highway that has to stop because there's cows but the cow like half the cows are starving and sitting there in 110 degree weather if they don't treat them good they just don't kill them it's very weird it's kind of funny because you'd probably be treated better as an american cow way better bro you get food you get your own little encampment these cows are just roaming this concrete schoolyard and starving that was the other thing too in jordan that they had uh like uh stray dogs all over the place everywhere lebanon too all over like they would find their way on the base and that's like a base order is that you're not allowed to to pet or engage with the dog in any way shape or form because like half of it's like rabies but you know they don't really you're and when you say there's a stray dog it's people still think it's like oh one or two and you're like no no hundreds of thousands just everywhere and they seem tired too right yeah like a lot of them were like just always napping in the shade and things like that but it looked like i i the the closest thing i could compare it to was like a rhodesian ridgeback like that sort of like that kind of dog the tank with the tan fur yeah and it like it kind of sucked because like i'm not coming from the united states like i just want to pet the dog and that was just a no-no whatsoever like if you domesticate them apparently they start getting aggressive if you stop feeding them or stop petting them or stop like they they get aggressive and then becomes a problem but that and disease and everything like that that's over there's well it's a big problem people just don't realize it cats you rarely see stray cats though like true yeah we didn't we didn't see a single cat yep but like in in Islamic culture like you're forbidden I think from from contacting the dog like you're not allowed to pet dogs or oh yeah you can't have a dog in the house for Muslims I forgot about that yeah cuz they're like none they're not clean boy are they missing out Wow they're trying to ban them in Ireland that's why would that be the case show no one in Ireland wants dogs dogs are allergic to potatoes why did the Irish change their opinions about owning dogs show show the camera turns around I think four cameras turn to show I think the dogs have changed their opinion on who they want in Ireland oh fucking you've been to Japan code you just got back from Japan for the first time it's so good isn't it oh it's fucking rad so good it's cool yeah it's a good time racist on an operator went to Japan and he loved it no but seriously though it is the culture is different right it's a little bit different but it is so clean and it's so beautiful people are so respectful it's awesome and then you have to carry your trash around with you because there's no trash cans on the street yeah it's different that was cool yeah there's no trash everywhere feels so safe everywhere even in like the busiest of cities you don't feel like anyone's gonna rob you or ask you for a dollar or punch you or stab you in the neck or set you on fire or I think that's just the places you go to in the States yeah yeah I'm kind of referencing the worst of the worst but a lot of major cities in America have some really rough parts you'd want to avoid and I went all around Japan and super safe do when you go in Japan like Cody will bachelor it's like you feel you're just like oh I am good I didn't even think about you don't mind your phone now you just don't think about anything like no no one's gonna ask you for money even that'd be god that'd be a weird thing to actually experience there's no JBL speakers just playing fucking random music like everyone's super kind it's fucking awesome high trust society I think this would call that even yeah I feel like regular civilians would like turn on you if you were playing music in public like they wouldn't go for it they wouldn't be mad about it though I are they would be mad about it they wouldn't be asking stop like hey dude would you turn that down now they'd all turn into the witch from like Left 4 Dead just start sprinting at you ripping you apart like oh shit why I I we went on the one of the high-speed trains there at one time and I put my bag not facing the way they wanted it to and like they came up and they're like you need to do this right now and I'm like dude I don't understand what you're saying I couldn't understand what to do was saying at first he's like you need to shift your bag to the side and finally got it and turned it and everyone was happy so I couldn't imagine anyone having like a loud playing speaker on the how many people in in Japan spoke English like ratio wise would you say like 30% no dude like everyone at every shop spoke spoke a slight amount of English like you do this you did like you do this you have to do this you hand the money they will give you exact change back yeah yeah yeah no it was fucking rad no tipping either yep that was also which I was like yeah it's like it's rude to tip because I'm used to here in the United States if like a server treats me very well I'm gonna pull out a hundo and just like hey thank you so much for treating my my party will like if we're hanging out at a restaurant or something like yeah here's a hundo thank you over there they're just like I would try to hand them like a hundo in Japanese like a thousand I think is what it was and they were just like no no no it's like okay thank you so much they're literally like sir take your money yeah yeah they got mad at me because I was trying to give them money for having a good service to myself and my wife but their service is so good oh dude and it's incredible they're so good you're Brandon you have to go we I that's the one thing I want to take a trip there just because the experience of that everyone's so respectful I forgot about when we went to that bar it's like 90 minutes drink as much as you want for 20 unlimited drinks for $20 for 90 minutes so this was this trip to Jordan was my first time out of the country ever oh I've never been out of the country like most people like go to Cancun or whatever in high school and like get a tattoo or whatever I my first time I was 30 years old and I went to Jordan to go visit drips i don't know it's pretty tight though it was cool it was cool as shit like flying into dubai and then getting like my my lay over there and whatnot and like hearing and i know like it sounds totally fucking normal what if you think about it for two seconds but hearing the islamic call to prayer over the airport loudspeakers super loud as an american i'm like this is culture shock this is kind of wild but doing that like going there to to amman everything like that like it was it was really neat it was a very cool experience and i would i would love to do it more do we got it yeah then we need a plane subject for japan because i think you would have a blast and all of us would go again yeah especially if we go to japan trip dude especially if we could link it up with some of the troops that are deployed there in japan oh dude or station there rather yeah just do a yeah oh man where is it where's the duty station in japan okinawa yeah yeah just doing it oh it'd be so cool to go to okinawa that's the island on the southern tip right yep we've never been i've never been there i've never been to okinawa and i haven't been to support i've only been to the middle stuff like tokyo osaka kyoto seporo was wasn't that uh mr fukunara fukunari yes funaki he was he was on the he's on the north horn up there right northern island of his seporo

yeah if we go seven hours north we'll fly it's more than that can you take like five hours wide there's no train up there there's no train bro the trains are amazing the magnet trains they zip you don't feel you're just like walking around but yeah it's like that japanese video when they tested the new one yeah it's the japanese people like what the fuck you just start laughing all right i have

oh dude i'm sure right it's kind of like you don't agree do it i'm sure in the u.s it's the difference between like your typical like exxon mobile or like exxon versus like a bucky's yeah right no this is really cool dude 7-eleven to a like you're actually in a nice restaurant for food level that's what's crazy you're going an american 7-eleven to i'm going to a four-star restaurant in america

literally whenever like we're free for well whenever we're in town but yeah i'd like two more i've only been back like doing youtube stuff for like two months because of the sickness so yeah it definitely it's good to see you guys it's good to be back filming did that really hurt you with the algorithm is like not being able to to post very often yeah that's what it's like so ridiculous that if anyone thinking that i this was like a money-making ploy it's like uh yeah i would have been fine if i just continued posting frequently besides like you know getting sick and posting four times over the course of seven months is not that's not good for money making or the algorithm or whatever but yeah it's kind of hard to post when your heart isn't working yeah little things a little bit yeah and i'm so particular about it like i can't just have an editor like take the reins and do everything you know i'm like uh autismo about it how often like before before you got sick how often would you post like you do it like a documentary that's about how long and how often usually like 30 minutes to an hour and at least uh twice a month twice a month holy if not three times yeah and now we're like once a month or once every five weeks but we're picking it up when you watch your content that's why it's like that holy you're doing that twice a month so wild because you do put in a lot of effort time in each one of your videos yeah people think we have like a big team it's like i do a lot of the bulk of the editing but also it's just me and like one other guy or other eli other eli you want to say hi on camera okay he said maybe so that was no that's what that was that was a very polite no yeah yeah but i mean that's kind of like me and me and delance it's like he's he was just a friend of mine that i grew up with and uh one day i was just like hey i want to like kind of record some stuff um i'll pay you in lunch if you want to follow me with a camera all day and then 10 years later me and him are still working together every day yeah i think i'm in lunch i think the content can be so good especially when you know the people who are touching it uh like care a lot and it's not just becoming like commoditized and random people who are just trying to get a paycheck or messing with it yeah so yeah that's why i keep my team small but maybe i'll maybe i'll mr beastify my shit sometime soon i was just gonna say like like with mr beast uh mr beast team like it just seems like there's a lot of people that came in like vultures just like oh hey you're doing good well i worked in hollywood or i worked in tv and they try to take over and it just makes the content worse yeah it takes away the soul of it because they don't understand our generation yeah it's like a bunch of 40 50 year old guys that are like well i did fucking you know third rock from the sun highly specific show i clearly understand like what your generation likes like you clearly don't speaking mr beast you guys know who topper guild is me and donut we're talking about this i don't yeah because you feel like you know a lot of the biggest youtubers right generally speaking hopper generally speaking i can i have no i've never even heard of this name i've never heard of this ever no yeah would you believe if there's a youtuber out there that has 93 million subscribers he's an american youtuber and you've never heard of him i never would believe it and he gets like 300 million views a day fuck off topper guild he i've never seen this guy's face he has like mr b style thumbnails i was just gonna say it has to be mr b style shit they're saying the same shit that i did 93 million subscribers i think you're right about that uh like i think in 2024 he started to get like 20x the views with mr beast on his thumbnail he said he said he was getting like 20 times the views because he uh dubbed his uh videos in different languages but they're all ai donut had a different theory i think you're right about it what was your title theory my theory was um jimmy is coaching them through this and they're an earlier generation like they're going for like the the 10 13 13 four-year-old like 14-year-old like demographic and they're just doing the same thing that jimmy's doing but jimmy's coaching them through it but also jimmy probably has a line to youtube and that's why they're doing so well because i've never heard of them before like 97 million fucking subscribers that's insane i feel like i agree with you you think he's doing like the dr dre eminem thing yeah exactly exactly thank you that's the best way to describe it yeah i mean you have k-pop demon hunter go on a hundred dates what the hell is this k-pop demon hunter shit because it's not just him there's another yeah they're they're hitting they're hitting the that demographic i was just saying like that that 11 12 13 year old like young men like demographic right now and that's what's happening it's so bizarre jimmy's coach he probably coaching that guy through it well there's another guy that we were talking about and his name is zhong he's got 75 million subscribers and he's posting the same type of shit like k-pop demon hunters got pregnant i'm like what is this crap and what is the video that's what i'm saying i haven't watched it yet oh i mean this is so weird because you're like oh it's gonna be like but it's all like high vfx and weird like this yeah i'm gonna have my daughter watch little bear instead of this yeah little bear was the shit man that's okay low stimulation holy because we're about the same age yeah yeah 30 yeah here's the stuff i don't get 17 million views how many comments what's 17 million views oh 100 000 at least uh i'm gonna say 10 000 30 000 how oh yeah no he's it's fake that's fake how that does not add up it's either fake or it's repeat or like fucking hotel tv i think my last video has 800 000 views and like 5 000 comments that's why like that's my biggest indicator when i see like these giant numbers and then you look and you're like so when i see 90 million and you're averaging one to three million views it's rigged there has to be set like i think it jimmy beast reach out dude i want the i want the beast push yeah i'm sick jimmy i think he said 3 000 3 000 comments with how many views uh 17 million 17 million fuck off so my last video had 1.2 million views a guy used a machine gun in self-defense shooting 1.2 million views 8.3 million views 3 000 comments there it is fuck off yeah fuck off this guy's paying for shit like 14 million views how many comments 5 000 comments 14 million i don't get it is it because it's kids watching it that are too young to know how to use a keyboard or what the hell is it also you guys we're getting into the the youtube content creation thing of this but yeah i i think that he i think that he coached these channels and i think that he had a line to youtube to say to them like hey push this shit yeah push it push it a little bit i don't even think that's true because like if you push it in the algorithm you at least get like an appropriate amount of comments because like this is like that's absurd bro 20 million views 1.8 000 comments no see bullshit the gang accidentally starts a beef with like a much bigger youtuber but like but is he bigger though like think about the fans y'all have compared to him i don't even think that he could sell out a show could he do a thousand people in an audience i highly doubt it well no he definitely couldn't sell out an 18 plus show yeah i do that's why when you like seven people there and they're all in the registry yeah no shit like anybody who shows up to that show like is they're hunting yeah real k-pop demon hunters um yeah that stuff's weird though i was looking into that but he's making some serious dough if it's real i mean and alpha those view i want to know his return those are the analytics i want to like dig into and just go through like hey it's autistic level shit but it's like where's the drop off because if you're getting that many comments 1800 comments on 20 million views that guy's a demon pop k through 12 hunter yeah dude k through 12 allegedly what do we know the guy who shows up to the show not that guy no people i'm not calling him i'm like i don't know the guy oh i did have uh i wanted me i forgot to bring the the dragon i wanted you to see the low boraxes on that new oh i really did want to see that that was kind of wild yeah i was like did i bring it today it was like because we've got a farm famas and that and we haven't got to talk about it all the guys i finished i finished the collection i finished have you told have you told brandon about the collection yes do you know what you're talking about at all yeah we were talking about the famas yesterday that metal gear solid the metal gear solid you got everything now so what do you what do you have right now what do you got i have an unfired 1996 mark 23 three three with a uh matching cat cannon serial number and i have both the government issued lamb and the civilian lamb uh still box never been fired psg1 and oh go on no no go on sorry and then psg1 in nice case with thankfully brandon is the one that helped hook that up with a one-minute conversation that cost me money yeah it's called them up like auctions going on right now like that i was already watching i'm like eli you you still want that psg1 uh uh yeah 30 30 30 grand yes or no right now yeah i didn't know he was actively bidding yeah i had the page pulled up as we were having this conversation that's the cool sniper rifle from it right the boxy type sniper rifle if you know the g3 like the the uh the hkg3 it's like a uh like the psg1 is like the total sniperized version from the 80s yep with a giant my favorite is when we picked it up and i was like that is a huge forward assist and brandon uses the g3 that doesn't have that forward assist and you're like i don't think they do i don't think they do i don't think they do i don't think they do i think that's a forward decision you're like holy because it is it's beefy beefcake you know on your ar or your m4s you just have that little button like this is a it's like a sure mic because i always thought it was a it was just like a g3 that was you know dmr'd out essentially it is not it's it's a it's a much different platform than i was expecting so we got that thankfully because and we got a really good like because of that last minute auction i don't know how we got a good deal on that it was a great deal and then the famas uh again just lucky on that one and did not expect him to take said offer so when are we going to do a guns of metal gear whenever you want dog okay because i i really want to do that video because there's so many can i dress up as metal gear solid one snake and you dress up as snake eater or mgs5 steak i will buy our outfits that's probably the gayest question you've ever asked so yes that actually that's quite the title frankly yeah sure i'll do it i'm buying those outfits now we're going to cosplay god damn it cody you can just come watch we make cody's i'll be there cody's eve from mgs3 the hot blonde can i be psychic uh what's his dick i'll just float in the corner yeah is that a saying what's his dick i like it that's good 100 what's his name no we'll actually both be uh mgs5 snake oh that's perfect no one will know the difference actually both technically the same guy like brandon brandon brandon cody cody and it follows the story too good job yep so we got that that was my most proud moment and i mean period as you i think you said you're like you have some of the you have a way like massive arsenal mine's like smaller it's just very specific autismo guns i've got a like just i've got a bit of an arsenal of weaponry uh but eli's just very like strategic, like I want this gun, this gun, this gun, this gun. And they're all like pristine condition i think the psg1 i don't think it's ever been fired there's like two of my nps guns the the mark 23 not only has it never been fired this motherfucker has a gun that like it's never been racked clearly because you can see like where the contact surface is on the barrel still has the paint on it and even the the magazine anytime we've cleared the gun we've never racked it but you like push in the magazine to like press the magazine release and pull it out because the the paint is still there on the ledge like it's never rubbed from just being cycled be very careful with it it's a level of autism that i've never accomplished with any firearm i own it's wild seeing i thought it would be more normalized because i just treat like video games cards or whatever i buy i'm like oh i seal and put away don't need to play with it everyone's like you're gonna shoot that right i'm like why i'm like oh yeah i guess the moss we're gonna shoot the shit out of i mean on with like the the metal gear solid stuff like the the m82a2 i think i or the the the barrett m82a2 yep uh like the shoulder fired barrett from mgs4 i think uh i think it's the only one that's ever gone for civilian sale period ever there were like 12 ever made to my to my knowledge that was the one where chris barrett called you and was like the did you get that from yeah i think i posted it on instagram he's like i don't say the word unicorn very often but that's a fucking unicorn it's a do you know what we're talking about he has like when the owner the creator of said gun calls you and be like how the fuck did you get that imagine that the shoulder 50 kill yeah did we shoot it last time i was here quite possibly you might have shot it if you shot it was that one a shoulder 50 yeah we shot a shoulder 50 in my video and it felt like i was getting punched in my face when i shot it do that for cut so yeah that was the one my dad shot and he's like why is it so loud yeah you should have been wearing the ear pro what the fuck dad he turns to you bleeding ears that's fun damn that's loud man and dad why were you wearing ear pros but like that that thing with like your mark 23 you're like oh i'll never rack it again i'm like i've got one of like 12 ever made and i just huck it in the back of my truck like man i don't know that thing is sick dude they need to get that inside the hoods bro i yes those hood rats would do very well with the mark 20 yeah they would do great i feel like you're just like you're the nick cage lord of war type dude i should start selling ammunitions to gangbangers this would be great in inner city communities drone warfare at4s and drive-bys because they had to have black bath black blast area clear and they can't because it's in a car they're like fire you just see you're just going through stops you're just going through chicago with like an ice cream truck full of fpv drones you're like seriously you ever wanted to fuck with the ops they only live like a street or two down from each other give you some serious damage you know if they were smart they would be like oh my god i'm gonna kill you i'm gonna kill you i'm gonna kill you but you know what they're not yeah switches dude yeah good things they grew up on section a housing hey there's no section 8 housing in uh india if you live in section 8 housing you should definitely appreciate that shit dude because in india they have no windows or roofs and they're sleeping on the fucking ground the trash places wow 20 a month to live in garbage and you have nothing and they appreciate it right i really do appreciate they're very nice people and you see like in america you don't really see someone that has like a broken leg or broken arm you know what i mean you don't see that that often there was a lot of people in india that had like bones that were broken and fused wrong because they don't have access to health you know any there's no other their good doctors came here yeah seriously they rub turds on their broken bones it doesn't heal anything surprisingly doesn't work as well as you'd think it's like shit cast oh i hate that idea don't knock it till you try it dude i'm not gonna try you never know like oh uh what video did you want to do you're planning on doing something with us did you have any idea of what uh i figured we would just like shoot the shit a little bit and then actually shoot some guns if you were if you guys were down for it and if it doesn't work in the schedule you know it is what it is i could always come back another time i do have to film uh this week anyway so like if we if we want to knock that out we can probably do that whatever you like fucking your call brother we can do whatever you want yeah i have a i mean i have a pretty casual approach to making content so how long you here uh i was gonna leave tomorrow and i'm gonna leave tomorrow or what yeah we'll figure it out yeah no worries either way i'm happy to have the podcast get the podcast what do you want what would be your ideal video with everyone we can we'll treat this as a writing room right now i think just you know us hanging out talking for like 30 minutes and about whatever like this casually and then going to the gun range and shooting some cool guns like the famas would be fun with also what we could do we could do anything else anything else y'all wanted to do that would be good you you seen my my gun room like my my shop right like the last time we were there with uh with isaiah and all that that was kind of like the uh the you know basis of the video mainly i feel it's it's gotten better so we could see that again i mean it's been two and a half years anything anything you want to do like like our doors open to you you've been nothing but good to us so like we're we're more than happy to open it up for you yeah i just i think just like casual hanging out showing the guns and and shooting the shit would be fun people liked it last time i figured they'd like it this time the last one's age restricted so try to not get this one age restricted there's ways we can get around that yeah what no more auto on youtube yeah it was a very stupid decision i'm trying to get fucking pulled back i understand why they're they're trying to restrict it you know with like the uh all the chicago switches like stuff like that bro like if i have licensing like the way i looked at it i'm like hey if i provide youtube with proof that i have licensing to do this what's the problem what's the issue i really genuinely think the only reason i'm alive right now is because of automatic weaponry like if they had a semi automatic and they were sitting there please explain because the five gunmen that stalked me and shot 60 rounds at me at close range if they all had semi autos and they were like they would have killed all of us yeah they were like 10 15 yards away if they were like us yeah but they had switches and instead they were like i completely agree most people think like oh my god if you add in like a a fucking switch or a uh an auto sear to these guns they're so much more deadly it's like no you just expend ammo faster and then you're out of fucking ammo yeah so i mean i'm i'm really thankful for switches legalize switch is all the game makers that need switches well this is all sponsored by u.s congressman brandon herrera now let's let's let's maybe reel this back a little bit but uh wait why wait no but legitimately like if anybody's ever done a demonstration about like okay if you have a 30 round magazine and you do a controlled burst versus just the the full auto fire just like fanning an entire group like you you don't hit shit why do you think the u.s military switch from full auto to three round burst for a reason and no they don't even train i can tell you they've talked about three round burst zero times in all the training did you ever put on three round burst when you're in never i think three round burst was like a vietnam thing it was like auto and then they switched it because like yo the troops are just fucking blasting ammo they're not hitting shit and then uh because the weapons they didn't have really good cleaning kits at that time so like if i can get rid of all this we'll now look at russia now with the the ak-12 they have the the two round burst they don't have three round burst they have two round burst no it's not hyper burst is like the an-94 but like the ak-12 is the two round burst where it's just it's very flat it's just two rounds on target which is pretty much all you'd ever need perfect and it's divisible by 30 which is where they learn from the famas where you know the top tier guys they released that video last year have you seen them running through that house where he's sprinting up to the house and he's it's like a fucking good hundred yard sprint and he goes in with his boys behind him i think it's one of the first videos they ever released of top like top tier it's like a delta boy doing it and they're not using you know they're not using fucking fully auto or anything dude it's control pairs we always yeah yeah it's speed surprise violence of action dude goes in just like everyone in the house is dead like within fucking like a minute so you guys feel like it's the same thing to say right that switch has saved my life probably yeah i would say yeah yeah jokes aside like because like unless you have like a belt fed or something like that i wouldn't see how anything outside of controlled pairs is actually like if i go to even drive out so like my finger i like no i'm pulling sure that's what these guys are doing that that tear that like the tier one video i'm telling you about they're just like they go through the house and they're just like everyone's done and the second you break 90 it's back to safe and then you're back up fire i didn't realize this conversation got so autistic i know dude well i didn't realize that was a thing into uh my first shooting competition i got like second on speed and i was like oh that was great like blah blah blah almost uh almost fucked up on one of my safety selectors and like wait what you're you were cycling your safety when you're moving like yeah like why well because the second you break 90 you have to go to safe because you're not aimed at a target and like that's very military did you act in in the military did you ever actually have to do any like actual cqb yeah like yeah like clearing houses and oh i did like for the first three months four months was a lot of that and then when we got to uh it's only the yellow river probably one minute long it was a giant push through cqb so you're kicking down doors i had beason will know this one if he's watching if i can be so and kick kick door i watch family as a wife and a husband step around with aka smell and i and i push beason out of the way and then it's like i just yell soldiers army army soldiers and then they like oh the husband hands the gun to the wife because yeah it was like oh because we i understood In the middle, it's like midnight and somebody's kicking on your door really hard. fucking hard like you're gonna grab your gun so i was like hey fucking push beason like clear it because i don't want him spraying through the door i just meant like cqb engagements because like i know like a lot of the stories you told were like it was clearly like firefights and things like oh yeah and yeah we'd have it just happened way less there's only probably like three to five actually in-house firefights nothing crazy most of it was outside on like engaged from uh second third fourth floor or back and forth very rarely did it happen in-house yeah that's what i was talking about oh so it's just a shoot house yeah god he is fucking yeah yeah but like tier one dude and oh okay already engaging fucking one two three dead and this is a real training no it's real or it's training it's training oh okay down violence action dude you like that's why you can't do shit because he's actuating that flashlight to whole team did you see there was fucking six guys on him yeah that and that's what you want because a lot of times the average human or individual in that situation is like okay pause okay if they enter this door however they enter it switch what your homies should be doing right here they're not they're not doing they're not doing fucking watch how fast he pushes this let's not give advice to gang bangers on the podcast no but if there was one of them that operated this way it would get crazy it would get really crazy i feel like they should not have guns they should all have samurai swords so he's got his way more on the back of him right now yeah he's operating quick bing bing down sorry this team comes in behind them at one two three four five they're on his ass the entire time yeah no switch and no switch needed nope just literally control pairs all the way through yeah if i had to be in a fight i would not want to use i hated houses were the worst most sketch thing firefight outside way better than closed buildings a way different situation because you're like fuck me like it's everything you're left and right and you're like in my first on second second third whatever and then how are you flowing in there and it's just quick engagement houses are where you understand like all the different tools in the tool belt like as a civilian you're like okay like a good like combat rifle you could do like 90 percent of shit but like then you start realizing like okay clearing houses h-e-d-p suddenly depend like that that becomes a very useful tool and then yeah but then with clear distance does the arm i've told the story it's like green we tried to enter one house it was super locked like fucking padlock we're like how the fuck do we get in this house we backed up it's like okay we'll use a 203 h-e-d-p we'll blow the door open too easy boom it hits the door and falls like boo it didn't arm huh let's go back further it needs to rotate more boom and it falls so we had two h-e-d-p rounds and i was sitting there we're like mark it on the map and say there's live orders and then we went to the next house we're like yeah there was a story that i heard at some point not saying where i was that i heard about um where they were testing like uh drone munitions so like kind of like a ukraine style right where they had like a hand grenade and they were like testing all sorts of stuff and just like dropping it and they had like one where they dropped from altitude dropped grenade exploded okay cool like okay we tested that out second one they did the same thing third one grenade dropped you know pulled the pin spoon dropped out landed and then nothing nothing oh those little sketchy ones so that oh well no actually no i i i don't think the spoon dropped i think it was just like it the grenade itself had dropped in the field and so it's still like it's ready to be armed but it's just kind of there yeah you did and they had to call eod and then from what i was told allegedly uh like a day later they called eod back and they said never mind we handled it yeah dude we just would mark it on that one sort of situation like that it's like oh it's like what what the do you mean you handled it i heard a grappling hook was involved it's like well you know what you got it done okay don't miss it at all you know what i think they're doing brandon these kids with the switches and stuff i think a lot of these guys came back from the war on terrorism and they learned from the special forces maybe a couple of them were special forces and they know how to do all this this crazy i just and then they're and they're letting these kids be cannon fodder like the ones that you hang out with yeah while they're in the upper echelons of whatever criminal like organization that they're in and they know how to do these things they're just letting these kids get taken out and get shot and do all that i disagree with or maybe i just wrote a show maybe you did are you saying they're sparing their ops or what are you saying they're letting these kids get killed who is so the people my age who came back from the war on terrorism they're the ones okay i don't think any of those guys came back from g watt i think this is all just like hood rats that are finding that's easily accessible on wish.com oh my my my homie baby pippi's been to afghanistan oh what's his name baby 50. i'm just kidding i have this video series called i took a gangster too and i go to all these different places um and yeah that's baby 50. he's hilarious i took a gangster too afghanistan good good video idea okay no i was just thinking like i took a gangster to like a taylor swift concert i took a gangster to a furry convention i took gangster to a brony convention wait did you seriously yeah i took it yeah okay oh my god so we're in the same place yeah the brony i just want to know the brony or which one was more crazy uh more crazy they were they're very very equivalent i'd say bronies and furries same vibe you know they like to dress up and do illicit sexual acts but they all say like it's not like that here but i'm pretty sure it is but yeah shout out to my bronies out there gang gang gang gang um and then i also took him to um an abandoned insane asylum at three in the morning which was really interesting dude see that i i think that would be a lot more fun because i think it would be very energetic yeah it was super cool they're like oh yeah oh yeah he had his jays on dude um but yeah it's fun it's it's you know it's a fun crossover and we have an unreleased one where i took him to harris in arkansas which is like uh one of the headquarters of the kkk zinc arkansas and we had a baby 50 hood hood guy talking to kkk guy and they got along a great no yeah got along great what was the conversation like uh i i don't even it was like uh like 15 months ago i don't even remember um i think they i they they found common ground over something you got to forget me we like we don't really watch a lot of youtube so like i well the video is not out even oh really oh yeah okay it's still in the vault but um yeah i don't know maybe it was like baby 50 was like the ops and the kkk was got guy was like i don't like him either i don't remember what they were talking about about they yeah they had fun the enemy of my enemy yeah well on that note if you guys want to do an after show for like 10 minutes sure where would the people find you good sir because i also cody your story where an american soldier actually did use uh he learned from overseas and came back and started using that to operate a drug kingpin that's a real thing so you're right yeah in harlem i just don't think that's the average no no no it's one-offs it's very one-off like well it's kind of like those rangers that i think isaiah did a video on it where like those rangers like robbed the bank yep oh and the only reason they got caught was because one of them forgot to like take the front license plate off or some like that oh what a slip up and they had the uh the ranger bat guys the second bat guys that um the gang bangers in tacoma said we're gonna hit your house and they loaded up and we're right do you know that story no yeah that was that sounds like a whole story a good one for the after show yeah full-on 90s firefight with yeah and it's all documented like police were like they were defending themselves no yeah where do the people find you they'll find that after yeah you can find me at brandon buckingham pretty much on all platforms or the buckingham show it's kind of a confusing mix-up but probably just type in brandon buckingham and also uh if you use brandon his link for what's the supplement i don't know one of your ad reads they accidentally gave you oh yeah manscaped are you serious yes i showed him yesterday i'd have to dig to find it so i did a manscaped deal and then i saw whenever i clicked my link it was like you got 20 off for using code brandon
