Oh, yeah, shit, I'm in a, I'm at the other spot. Oh, all righty. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the unsubscribed podcast. I am joined today by Eli double tap, Pew View, the Nick from Iowa, the Fat Electrician, the other Nick from Iowa, and myself, Brennan Rare. Hi. What's up, bitches? We're here. It's day one. It's chill. I didn't drink last night. I've aged seven years already. And if I have, if I have one more person, stop me and say, you're not that fat. I'm going to lose my mind. Well, your name is the Fat Electrician. I understand what you're saying, but they tell me that like I don't know. They're just going to boost your self-esteem, dude. Is it a disappointed, you're not that fat? Yes, or is it like they're heartbroken? Really? I don't know. I guess it's like, I don't know. Have you seen the BMI of the average shot show in Habitaton? Yeah, yes, I have. I'm convinced they live here. Let's make Nick fat. I would love like a 320 pound Fat Electrician. I'm going to get fucking shredded and then I'm going to get 50 pounds, just like Mac from Always Sunny in Philadelphia. And then I'm going to sell shirts to say I'm cultivating mass. That's my plan. I'm playing the long game. Dude, Nick, this is like, you're, I mean, last year at everyone's experiencing walking the floor and having a great time. You're like, oh, shit. What's my favorite when somebody stops you and then you're like, everyone starts. Then you just get a crowd. Yeah, then like lines start forming. That's the problem. It's alarming. Yeah. Because it's no big deal. Like if somebody's, oh, hey, man, can I grab a picture real quick? It's like, yeah, sure, like totally, man. Like, obviously, you don't make time if you got it. But yeah, when somebody stops you for a lot, you have like a team minus 10 seconds. It's like, and there's sometimes where like, I don't know, I have this thing. Like, I can usually tell if you recognize me, but I'm not going to be the one to approach you. Just because I've done that before and felt like an asshole because they actually didn't know who I was. And I'm like, cool, I'm never doing this again. I feel like a humongous douchebag right now. And it was just like, no, it was just checking out your tattoos. I thought they were cool. I was like, cool. My favorite was when someone knew you and they're like, I don't know. And they're like, oh, you want a photo? He's like, no, I'm good. No, I'm good. I'll never ask somebody if they want a picture with me. After that guy did that. I'm done forever. If you want a picture, I'll gladly take one with you, but you're asking. One fucking dude ruined it for everybody. Yeah, no, for sure. No, but I can tell when there's some people that recognize me. And then for whatever reason, they just don't approach me. Which is fine. It's fine if you do. It's fine if you don't. Just stop staring please. Because I think you're going to shoot me in the running line. But then one person finally does approach you. And then it opens the flood gate. Because he's not a dick in person. And he's too happy to take a picture. And then it's just like, now there's 12 people. I had to run away from the FN booth today. Because I just wanted to check out the new scar and that like, bolter 30 millimeter grenade launcher. It was cool. Which was sick, by the way. It's pretty, and it's way lighter than you think. We're going to go see him tomorrow. FN at the booth. Yeah, we have a meeting with him. Yeah, fucking you are. Okay, you don't want to scar today. I had a meal. I talked to them today for like an hour. Like, Christie's like, hey, we want to sit down and do a go over everything. I would, especially if we're like in like a back room or whatever, because we won't get anything done on the floor. Brent, wait, why would I do a meeting on the floor? Eli, I don't know. Eli, I'm about to make you very happy. I went to HK today. Did you get your scar? Or your fucking. Yeah, I got my preacher that I wanted. But more importantly, he's like, how would you and some of your YouTube buddies feel about going out to Utah and going into the gray room? Sounds like a sex dungeon. And then he's like, and then if there's any guns that you guys want to shoot, we can let you shoot some of them, because there's a range 10 miles down the road. So we get to go into HK's fucking museum gray room of every HK experimental weapon they've ever made. And some of them are apparently on the table to shoot. Yeah, if you don't know what the gray room is, it is. That's what I'm saying. Next beautiful. It's like the weapons library of like prototype weapon development for HK and like everything they've ever made essentially. Yeah, also Nick's the asshole that comes into this like a decade later with influence of content creation. And they're like, "Hey, you want a free gun?" They do not do that with anyone. No, like even a conversation. It's like, "Hey man, I'd love to work with you guys." And they're like, "Cool man, here's a patch f*** off." That's been 10 years. No, they don't give a s*** about anybody except this motherfucker for some reason. They like me. This insane, dude. There's only time I've ever seen that I was pulling away. I was like, "You got a free gun for everyone." Yeah, what the f***? Yeah, you're over here with your purple heart. You're like one of the best trickshot guys in the world. You know how to make guns. You ever tried making dick jokes on the internet? It gets you a lot further through. Yes, it gets you a lot further in life than talent. You f*** nerds. Oh yeah, we're just f***ing good with you. What's up, Don? Hey man. Why are you got your glasses on? I've had my glasses on the entire f***ing day because I slept about four hours last night. You don't want to see what's under these things. I'm just I'm rocking the glasses. You're like the brand new friend. You're like crying out. If people like, "Oh my god, why is he now wearing his sunglasses?" So I just keep them on. All shot show. I'm sleeping in these bitches. The whole time. How long before you saw him without his glasses? I mean, instantly. Have you seen him yet without his glasses? You wore him on the wedding day. I did wear him getting married. That was there. Really? I swear to you. I said it. That's where he up. You're like, "No honey, the sun glasses stay on." The entire time. I don't tell you. She thought I was weird the first time in bed. But like after that, she got used to it. Please just wear your socks like a normal weirdo. Just naked with the glass on wild. Honestly, that's kind of a vibe. I respect it. These glasses don't belong to you one day, kiddo. Dude, I have 30 pair in everything. Everywhere we go. I have some glasses everywhere. Well, make sure you hold that mic up a little closer when you tuck. I have like super sensitive bitch eyes. So even like fluorescent lighting will make my eyes like swell up. Because they're finely tuned. Because you can shoot bullets through fucking washers as they're falling through the sky. You psychopath. That's the A.I. You're like psychs. You're like cyclops, but with guns. It's in the glasses, dude. Which is a wild thing to be able to do. Like how many times did that take you to nail it? I mean, we've done it four times now and it was fairly quick. Everyone but the first one. That's fuck you. But I mean, the part that you guys don't see is that when we get out there. I sit there and shoot rocks out of the air for five hours. As to all of us when we go train. I mean, that's like how I prepare for the shot. So then I can do it in one take. I mean, we start we start with cans and then we go to rocks and then just make sure I can narrow down like the whole and washer. I've never lived in a place that was so remote and so flat that I could just shoot a handgun in the air without worrying about killing someone. Oh, I mean, we shoot I shoot at like a, a nanniery serocross for me. So I'm still landing the bullet into the berm. But I mean, we certainly could just launch him in the air because it's fucking a four mile empty section of cornfield. I love reading comments and reddit threads about him. People are just so mad. They refuse to believe he's that good. I've seen it. Colley on the war posted that short that somebody ripped out of a podcast of me and then everybody refused to believe that I could hit a target at like 150 yards with a concealed carry. We were doing damn near 200 that day and you went 15 for 15. Yeah, I fucking seemed to be actually got on the video. And everybody's like post the video. That didn't happen. It's like it's literally it's it's on the internet. You can watch them know like, especially if you subscribe to pepper box. People just think shooting's way harder and it is like you you you see that snapper assassin to be able to shoot somebody a hundred yards to train professional to make a hundred and twenty five yard shot with a scoped rifle. Every dude from my high school class could do that at 50. Is it a pellet gun? Like what? Why is this a difficult shot? I mean rifles are super easy for any beginner to get on and just to hit any distance really as long as it's like under a thousand. It's not that fucking hard pistols. Are hard to shoot yeah, it's not yeah people that have like experience on pistols Assume that it's also as hard as you know on a rifle, but it's it's not the same thing Pistol or the hardest thing to yeah, and then would great at shooting pistols. Was it you were good at shooting piss Thank you. You are I don't even compete with you. You're just like A's VR I just know if I say you tax that I'm above you in that game I knew you would just quit what you were doing Immediately beat me dude Adam from ballistic high speed or high speed playsticks. I get that mixed up every time Sorry guys, but a high speed low drag. He keeps like he just got the video game So he's like you'll get into a match and run the fuck out of that until he gets in like top 30 or something He'll send me a text message. So I'll hop in there like live when he's streaming and just shit on him quick Well, I just I just know that Eli will just sit there and do the repetitions until he's faster I mean, I'm gonna get faster right and just burn them out until you get the score on it Yeah, but that's the thing. He's like all right What's the one that I think I can do better than this person at okay? I'm gonna sit here and do nothing but this for three hours until I can piss that person off with a text message And then I'll be like I beat him real quick and now wait five minutes new text message and I'm in third place Or second place fuck yeah, man I got like last time I got hurt last time I tore my pack. I started playing fucking cod and I start playing with him So annoying You get a cod? Well, I go like I'm okay at playing cod and I've been playing like six hours a day because I could whoves at hurt So I'm just listening to history audiobooks while playing cod and He's like oh, yeah come jump on with me and my wife and I start playing with them. I'm like 13 and 3 13 and 5 like I'm doing okay, check the scoreboard. He's fucking 37 and one I don't play multiplayer either like I like Nothing nothing like fucking clocking out for the day after a long day of burning through 10,000 rounds So I can go home and decompress by shooting virtual guns. You psycho path Holy Chinese children on the internet. Yeah, but like video games a reaction time. That's that's my thing It's just I'm good with reaction. That's what are you bad ads a lot of shit just nothing with reactions Deep dump depth perception and reaction is my game because I was a heavy equipment operator for forever so like depth perception is How I made money? I also converts in a shooting fire. It helps with you know targets and You know science and shit didn't we did everything else terrible didn't we figure out that me and you ran into each other at work and didn't know it and Yes, after we became friends on YouTube correct what we were both on the same fucking job together. I was uh I Don't know how public you are. You're fine. Yeah, like I was digging through a alleyway in a city that he lives in and Puttin in power and then he'd come connect it in the junction boxes like I swear I recognize them because adult my camera guy Would send me his videos and he's like hey, this guy's in The place you listen like everybody on the main city. I want this guy's also in Mason City I'm like, oh fuck. I've seen this guy before and then we didn't meet till like three years later. But yeah, I thought that was funny hilarious, the opposite Small world. Well smaller in Iowa. It is there's only seven of us. So it was bound to happen at some point, but they're related Why are So you've been doing firearms for what God just since childhood. Yeah, yeah He sent me a fucking like VHS video quality thing of like 10 year old him doing a review of like a Mossberg 500. He's been doing them since before YouTube was a thing I'm pretty positive. I have the first ever gun review on YouTube It started in 2007 my first VHS videos were in 2006 you did VHS and then we upload it. Oh, yeah Well, we upload a digital versions of it in a couple years later But like then we got inspired by jackass and then it stopped being so much gunship But there's a bunch of just me and my friends being absolute degenerates on the internet still so I hope that God nobody finds any of that Do there's a hundred dollar bounty on that now stop them. I look totally different Also, not the same name so good luck. I For I forgot that I had my YouTube account from when I was in like high school and a couple years after high school Where I uploaded a bunch of like jujitsu tournament footage that I did and then people started sending me footage from like Me in 2012 competing in jujitsu tournament, so I was like I got to figure out a fucking delete this account I didn't have the logins or anything people find it. I had to find it and like shut it down Dude there I still had I shut it down forever ago But I had like when I was in like sixth grade seventh grade me and my buddies had a I wasn't I've talked about it Like before briefly, but like an airsoft like gun review channel Where like I sat there and reviewed airsoft guns in a very alarmingly similar style to what I do now So I see those and I absolutely love them. I wish you kept them on the internet Like way back in the day like now not really how long ago did you delete them because I'm I sure really they were gone forever I'm pretty sure Texas Planking Brennan he was talking to me about some of that stuff and I'm pretty sure he's the one that put me out of the video So no shit you got something somewhere because I see them and it wasn't that long ago I would love to see him like that's what I'm just planking I just hope you're confusing another Mexican with Brandon. No, I'm possibly or a different brand But no, it's it's one of the things that I to my knowledge like I was scraped from the internet like when I was Just getting into high school because I realized that women smell nice and YouTube was lame Oh, no because that was before anybody was making money at it. It was just like some weird side quest you were doing And like you were embarrassed about having you from the hot electronics did you yeah a little bit you first time Taste in the back of that playstation. It's it's a game changer. Oh, I wasn't embarrassed about it at all Do you should see these 2006 VHS tapes like I thought I was a superstar on TV? I would like stop to like we'll be right back after this short break like it was gonna get Mine was mine was all jujitsu competitions and then I had two videos of Like I was like 190 pounds in high school and I dressed up as a gorilla and My 110 pound best friend dressed up as a banana. I just had a montage of me chasing him through fucking came art and tackling him hilarious I'm getting kicked out of stores I mean to see all these old videos If you ever woke up and felt like your mattress punched you in your sleep, I still think it was my wife, but yeah Eli Do you have the mattress right here a pillow?

Oh, dude that one you're Mexican. Well, the funny part is that's not that old That's from one of my videos it dude every time I I see it every six months every surfaces and somehow it loses pixels every We put the he's got one where he's leaning up against the truck and he just goes damn you're Mexican. Oh, we shit You're Mexican. I was like hey, just roll the camera And pant me editor put this in the video. Or put this video in the in the yeah, the super grainy fucking reshared eight billion times Holy shit, you're Mexican looks like an NES video like eight-minute at this point is our hole Can't understand anything we put a like a chamber Sabo or whatever you'd call it like 3d printed little chamber insert in one of those like 12 gauge Like siga 12 knockoffs. No, and then probably turkish funny enough. Pantser. We put And we put a 50 BMG inside of it and like actually got it to like lock up and we're like oh fuck So we fired it and it exploded of course, but it was from that video. So it was only like three years ago. Yeah, but it just exploded Oh, yeah, really well cut because we put the 3d printed chamber insert instead of just Yeah, you had chamber pressure. Oh, no, actually no, no, we didn't that's not we did Fuck now that I think about it. We put a we actually made a 50 BMG barrel. I think we turned a 50 BMG barrel for this Specifically, that's badass. So yeah, we just inserted the 50 BMG barrel and we're just like this is why you can't they're like oh So I got 12 similar size we were trying to show basically like look no lockup is extremely important Even if you could get it to run and like cycle and load one it explodes immediately and then it did in great fashion, fair enough, it would have like killed the shooter. I found out you know typical high-end story I found a little double-barrow shotgun and a barn so of course you know 50 BMG fits in that shit. We'll string little behind. If God didn't want you to do it you wouldn't have made it fit. We did it and tell it blew up because I wanted to you know the this is gonna look cool but it's working I can't post it because then everybody's gonna want to do this so we shot it until it blew up and it was it was fucking gnarly. Oh it was working. It was working flawlessly for way too long if 50 BMG is fucking expensive so we had to do something about it. Now say it's awesome so we can cut this together really good for you. You should try it at home. Yeah do it at home for sure. Yeah no cuz yeah cuz it will work. It's really well. How accurate it did not. Well it's a smooth board at that point. You know it not only is a smooth board but the bullet doesn't it's not even touching the board. Oh even done touch sides. Maybe 200 feet per second like you can see it leave the barrel and it's maybe going 50 yards. It's not doing anything. It's just like I bet it would. Yeah I wouldn't want to get it. I mean in front of it 750 grains traveling it probably. Now it'll be fun. Yeah. Well it's basically like you're sticking it in a vice and smacking the primer with a hammer. Yeah pretty much. Like it's you're losing all of your energy to the sides but it is a flame thrower like instantly like shoots out a fucking 10 foot flame so that's that's the cool part. Holy shit we got Mike vying we haven't talked about that. Yeah. Yeah we have not. I don't think. You got what? Mike vying coming on the podcast. Who's that? Oh. The accountant. That's the accountant. That looks like a that's an absolute G. That is awesome. Yeah. I can't wait for you guys to do that. Oh I also had an interesting meeting today. I guess I met somebody interesting. So I might be doing my first video on a GWAT veteran ever which I've never done before. I met Chris Kyle's son. Oh shit. What? Yeah. And he's interested in me doing a video on his dad and I was like well I like I need you and your mom's permission obviously and you guys got to like watch the video first make sure you're okay with it and it's accurate and all that and he's like yeah no totally. No shit. So I might yeah Mike had to do that video. That is fucking awesome. Vining and then Nick's going to do one with vining. It was because he was watching his stuff and then he's like I was like A. As Nick first was like would you want to do one with him on him for his saying and Mike was like yeah I would enjoy that. He's just my old he's he text like it you heard our phone call it is I'm talking to a 75 year old grandpa that loves telling stories and they are the most wild stories you will ever hear and I'm like uh-huh what? Yeah. Oh one of the running jokes in J. Sock was I had to retire because I was constant too much because how much I traveled. I traveled more than the four star J. Sock general. I was the most moved asset in all of J. Sock during his time. I'm like what? That could just seem so interesting like I would love to sit down and get just absolutely hammered with that guy. Just listen to him. Just I mean I know that's the entire bit but just he's so unassuming right and like the guy has such a storied career like fuck all right I'll sit down and listen. We might have to travel for an unsaid if we want to do this but do you remember my video on the 77th Infantry Division, the Old Bastards? Yeah. Where like the average age was like 35. My buddy that helped me do the research for that video. He found one that's still alive. Holy shit. Like all there and with it. Apparently he was 19 at the time and he was one of the reinforcements that got sent in. So he showed up with a bunch of 35 year olds and this guy already like went and talked to him. One of the stories he has is fucking hilarious. So he showed up as a reinforcement and I want to say it was was it Guam? Not Guam. Maybe Guam. One of the islands that they showed up to and they cleared the island and they're going through all these cave networks that the Japanese were occupying and they keep finding like the officers' chests and there's all this Japanese currency in it. Well they're Marines. They're fucking using it as toilet paper. They're playing like playing poker and shit with it. It's fucking monopoly money, right? Yeah. They're dicking around with it. Well he was playing poker and he won a bunch of it and he took it with him because he was just going to send it home to be a souvenir. So he had like I forget he had a shit ton of this money and he was just like oh it's a cool souvenir from the war. Whatever. I'm just going to send it home. And it was just really quick now even when we had Gennar because it had a sedoms face on everything. Even I have shit from when I deploy because it was funny money. It was literal funny money. Yeah. You just find it like oh cool. I have a worthless piece of paper currency. Yeah. It's a good good memento. Yeah. You know what I mean? Take it home. Have fun. See and he's you know it's got like the bands on it. He's got stacks of it. Like it's kind of cool. Like whatever. Well he follows them through the rest of the campaign and he ends up being in Japan during the occupation. And during the occupation he was allowed to exchange it for US dollars. And it ended up being like 30,000 US dollars in 1945. So he wired it. He wired it back home and paid for him to go to medical school. And that's how he became a doctor for the rest of his life. How much is that in today's money? There's like 120 grand I think. But this is also back before the price of college I'd inflated. Like it was enough to pay for college five times. Yeah. Yeah. Like 80 times. Yeah. Like cheese. So in today's equivalent it is approximately 30,000 dollars in 1945 is equivalent to about $540,000 US today. But you just love a poker game that no one gives of. Home you had about a half million US dollars in funny money. Damn. There was there was just an internet story I've seen last week. It was 2015. And dude was trying to buy a house with Bitcoin. And the guy turned down the offer and it was like a two million dollar house. So he's like, here's all this Bitcoin. I'll give you extra. I just want this house. And I was like, no, I'm not accepting that currency. Today's value of that Bitcoin was like three billion dollars. Well, it's like the first like the first thing ever commercially purchased with Bitcoin was a Domino's pizza. Yeah. And it's like 50 billion dollars worth of Bitcoin now. Thousands. Oh my god. Didn't the guy like just lose it or something. Like he didn't like everyone. No, at that point, 2009, 2002, no one gave a fuck. This was peak fires I have in nerds. Yeah. Through that currency way like it was nothing. There's this one tweet that gets like shared around all the time. And it's this guy going, man, I sold all my Bitcoin at 50 cents. And now it's worth $5. I wish I would have kept it. And there's a fucking screenshot of this. It had been reshared. It just like goes viral every once in a while. And somebody commented on it and it was like, has anybody ever checked in on this guy? And this is like 50 grand. Oh, no. Is this guy still alive? And this guy responds in the comments. Yes, but I'm dead inside. So the Reddit account where the guy said, oh, I, I'm doing a giant risk. I'm spending my entire life savings into Bitcoin. And reds like, you dumbass, you dumbass. That's never going to pay out. This is like 2010 or no, 2014 because it went up to like a couple grand at that point. And now it gets played back that red. It still exists. And like, homeboy's a billion right now. Do you know the one where it's like the guy who went on Reddit or one of one of those sites like that where he was talking about like, hey, guys, I need help. I've gotten a, a cylinder stuck inside of an M&M's tube. And just like real vague about it. And everybody's like, you fucking M&M's. No, it is a cylinder. But it's also important to me that it comes out. And it's like this whole fucking thread. How do I remove the cylinder? But the, it was something years later, like this is old internet, right? But it was something years later where it was the same guy. I guess somebody recognized the Reddit account. But somebody's asking a question and the guy responds. And somebody responds to him responding, just goes, don't you mean the inside of a cylinder? And he just replies, so I have to bear this this cross forever. You like a mouthful of hardwood? Yes, go on. Then boy, do I have a product for you? I'm reenlisting in the Navy. No, not this time. Oh, the product is fume. What's fume? It's an amazing device for those trying to kick those nasty habits. When you said hardwood, you actually meant hardwood. I'm sorry to disappoint. But yes, I mean literal hardwood. I love hardwood in my mouth. Wait, you know, it's garrer than hardwood in your mouth, dying from cancer. If fume has an award-winning design, there's no battery, no chemicals, just flavored air. Dial that air flow with the clickies. When you ever tried maple pepper? No, I like crisp mint because I'm a coward when it comes to flavors. Cody, what's your favorite? I don't know about flavor, but John C. Fume told me it was sexy and sleek. That is a sexy and sleek piece of wood right there, Cody. Oh, yeah, put it in your mouth. Suck that flavored air. Quit cranking your wood on camera. Start your guilt-free journey with the good habit and use code on where you can get a free gift with purchase and start your long overdue breakup. - Just head to trifume.com/onsub - And use code unsub to start your good habit today. - Nick, what were you talking about that you were like, "Oh, I have a story for you." - Oh, it's my new fat files video I got coming out soon. - Go on. - So I did like the internet myth that mattress firms are laundering money and I kind of busted it. So then I was like, "Oh, well, what other memes can I bust?" And I've been sent this meme like 10,000 times about how during the Cold War Pepsi had this world's sixth largest Navy because Russia traded a bunch of warships. And I always wanted to do a fat electrician video on it, but so I started researching it. - Real quick, at one point you did research this a while ago 'cause you've been planning this for a minute. I had just a list of video ideas at my house like on a whiteboard and one of them was Pepsi Navy. And at one point you would come over to my house and when you had left, I noticed on my whiteboard next to Pepsi Navy was just a little dash that said fake and gay. - Pretty much it, yeah, not really what happened at all. But now that I'm like doing these myth-busting videos, I figured I'd go through and the story's so much fucking funnier than like Pepsi had the sixth largest Navy on the planet. It's hilarious. 'Cause we talked about it a little bit yesterday but you said there's a bunch more details. - Yeah, so in 1959, basically like Stalin had died at this point and the Soviets had nukes and everybody's just kind of like, "All right, well maybe we should try to get along and not blow up the planet." So they tried to do this, they called it a cultural exchange and basically it's like a trade show essentially. Like America was gonna send a trade show full of American shit showing off American culture to the Soviets in Moscow and then the vice president was gonna go over there 'cause it weren't gonna send the real president to Moscow and then vice versa. So in 1959, they sent over, you know, they're bringing over like the 1959 Chevy Impala and they build an American house and they're bringing over all these American companies and American food and whatever, whatever. Well, they go to Coca-Cola 'cause I wanna show off Soda, obviously, and Coca-Cola's like, I'm not dealing with the fucking commies, no. So they're like, yeah, exactly. They're like, okay, well, we'll go with Pepsi then Pepsi's like, yeah, sure, we'll do it. - Does another reason to drink Coke, yeah, exactly. - So Pepsi shows up and Nixon's over there and he's like escorting Nikita Kruzchef through this trade show and Nikita Kruzchef is like being thoroughly unamused, unimpressed by everything. Like he can't let him know that we, he thinks America's awesome or whatever. And so it's gonna be like fucking impossible to get Nikita Kruzchef to try Pepsi and if he does, he's gonna say it tastes like, obviously. But the Pepsi executive that they had at the time, Donald Kendall, he like waits for the opportune moment and they're going through and they go into this mock American house and Nikita Kruzchef and Nixon get into, they call it a debate. It was just straight up a shit-talking contest about capitalism versus communism and it's literally called the kitchen debate and they like get into this heated debate and right at the end of this debate, like Donald Kendall's like, this is my shot. So he grabs two bottles of Pepsi and he like, Vanessa's the fuck at a Nikita Kruzchef 'cause he comes up to him, he's got two bottles of Pepsi. One of them's for Nikita, the other one is also for Nikita. So when he comes up to Nikita Kruzchef, he's like, I want you to try Pepsi. This one is made with water from America and this one's made with water from the USSR, which one's better? So he's forcing him to say it's good. - Just genius. - Right, frankly. - Fucking great marketing tactic. So Nikita tries it and he's like, obviously, the one with the USSR waters fantastic and they snap it, they get the pick of Nikita Kruzchef drinking a Pepsi with a big fucking smile on his face and it becomes like this mythical drink that capitalism has. It made a fucking communist dictator smile, right? So like, people want it and Pepsi, like, there's no soda there. So if Pepsi can break into that market, they'll have a monopoly, it'll be a shit ton of money. They don't have any time anopoly laws are fucking communist. Like, so that's their plan. But then like shit heats up in the cold war and it doesn't end up happening. But Donald Kendall, this Pepsi executive and Nixon become homeboys and then Donald Kendall becomes a CEO of Pepsi and like, helps fundraise for Nixon during his presidency and he gets elected. So then in 1972, Nixon is having the salt one conference, a strategic arms limitation talks. Basically like, you've got 10,000 nukes, we've got 10,000 nukes. Let's just put a cap on it. We can blow up the world 30 times over. Let's quit manufacturing nukes for no fucking reason. It's basically what it was. So this conference goes good and it's like the messaging to the commercial industries. Like, we're working with the Soviets now. So Donald Kendall, the CEO of Pepsi comes in and he's like, this is my shot. And he goes to Russia, he's like, yes, want Pepsi? They're like, fuck yeah, we do. And they're like, okay, well, here's the problem. We can't take the rubble because the rubble's monopoly money. Nobody else recognizes it. - Apparently you can get half a million dollars in the monopoly money that Japan is through. - This is true. So he goes to the Russians and they're like, well, we've got monopoly money in vodka. And he's like, well, that'll fucking work. So he works at deal where they're trading Stolichnaya. - Yeah, it's like Stolichnaya, something like that. - Stolichnaya vodka for Pepsi straight across because you can't get Soviet anything in the US 'cause the sanctions and everything. So Donald Kendall goes to the US government. He's homies with the president. Basically goes to the president and he's like, hey, here's the deal. If I trade the Soviets a bunch of Pepsi, basically give them diabetes and they give me vodka. Can Pepsi sell the vodka in the US? 'Cause we're keeping the money. It's not actually going to the Soviets to buy like guns and shit. And I'm like, sure, why not? - So when you originally told me the story yesterday, yesterday, I first thought I had was, I would love to buy a bottle of whatever the fucking Pepsi Russian import bottle was. - Yeah, from like 1970s. - And then as soon as you told me it was Stolichnaya, I was like, and never mind, I'm alright. - So Pepsi becomes like the first American product sold in the USSR. And they're just swapping back and forth vodka for Pepsi, but the Russians love Pepsi. And they're drinking more Pepsi than Americans or drinking vodka. So it's like, it's not paying for itself. So then they go to the Russians. They're like, what else you got? Like the vodka's not enough. And they're like, we got a bunch of old warships. And they're like, fuck, okay. And like the meme plays it off. Like they traded PepsiCo 20 Russian warship, 17 submarines, a frigate, a cruiser, and a destroyer for Pepsi. That's not what happened. Pepsi does the same deal proposition. They did with the US government with the vodka, but they do it with Norway. So they go to Norway and they're like, hey, if we get the Russians to sell you 20 junk military naval vessels, you guys can scrap 'em. You give us the money and we're just gonna give them diabetes. And the Norway is like, well, yeah, as long as we're not giving 'em cash to buy more weapons and win the space race and shit with, yeah, sure, why not? So they do it. They basically broker to three-way deal so they could get a bunch of cash. And that's what they did. And that's where the meme comes from, right? But then it gets funnier because a year later, they run out of money again. And they're like, what else you got? Well, we're out of junk warships, but we do have shit building capacity. So we'll build you 10 brand new oil tankers valued at a billion dollars if you keep selling us f**king Pepsi. And they're like, oh, okay, dope. And then we'll just sell it to the f**king Norwegians and it'll be fine. Perfect, right? That was in 1990. What happens in 1991? - Yeah, a certain thing happened with tearing down that wall in the collapse of the Soviet Union and all that. - So obviously it takes more than a year to build 10 oil tankers. So the Soviet Union collapses before they get the oil tankers and they're already like giving them Pepsi and all this other s**t. And so like overnight, it was one sovereign nation and then now it's 15 separate nations. Nobody knows who's in charge. There's no governments. It's run by the f**king mafia. And like their whole supply chain is just shattered into a million pieces, right? Because the factory, the factory that was making the bottles is in f**king Lithuanian oil. And the factory that put the Pepsi in the bottles is in Belarus and the only way to get the bottles from the Lithuanians is to pay them in hard cash and then to transport them. You have to bribe the mafia for permission. And then now you're not dealing with the Soviet government to bottle the s**t. You're dealing with like the foreman that ran the factory 'cause now he just owns it apparently. So it's like all mafia f**k deals and they're like desperately trying to work out this f**king deal. - Which a lot of those guys, like it was the mad dash after the collapse of the Soviet Union to basically just embezzle and steal as much as they could. - Yeah, absolutely. Like because it wasn't their s**t to start with, they were just like, "Oh, I now control $500 million "with a bullshit. "Sell it immediately so I can move to a nice country." - Okay, here's the crazy part that doesn't make sense to me. Like if I was watching this as a movie, I would be like, "This movie's f**king stupid. "The plot doesn't make any sense." You know what I mean? Like why didn't Gandalf just have the giant eagles take the f**king s**t to the volcano? You got to bleep out s**t. - Do you know what I'm saying? - Yeah, you can say s**t. - No s**t. - Oh, I've said that so much. - Sorry, like. - I had to have said that. - The Russians literally stole the way to make nuclear warheads. Why the f**k didn't they just steal the recipe for Pepsi? - Did they don't have the capacity to make it? - No, they did. They bottled it there. All Pepsi was doing was selling them the concentrated syrup and it was all bottled in the USSR. Pepsi showed them how to make a f**king Pepsi like a bottling plant and how to make Pepsi with the concentrated syrup. - Oh, well, in that case, we'll look for-- - The only thing Thank you. concentrated syrup and they're like, the only thing that was protecting them was the secret recipe and it's like, give that to your scientists. They reverse engineered the secrets to split a uranium atom and blow up the fucking planet. You guys can't figure out Pepsi. - Very funny actually, when you put it in that way. - Like what the fuck are we talking about here? Like what a weird moral compass of like, I don't mind stealing nuclear secrets, but the fucking recipe for Pepsi is-- - Some things are sacred. - Yeah, what the fuck are we talking about here? - We'll end the world, but come on. - Yeah, so they go to the fucking Ukrainians now because that was part of the USSR because that's where the shits were getting built, it was in Ukraine and they go to them and they're like, hey, those 10 oil tankers that you're currently building are ours and they're like, no, they're not. Fuck you. So they're like, we kinda need them and they're like, what are you gonna give us? Guess what the Ukrainians demanded in exchange for a billion dollars worth of oil tankers so Pepsi could get paid. - More Pepsi? - Partially. - What's that restaurant, Pepsi owns? - Oh, that's right, fuck. - I didn't even know Pepsi owned a restaurant. - They own young brands. Pepsi comes to the day, or the Ukrainians come to the table with Pepsi and they're like, fine, we'll give you a billion dollars worth of oil tankers, but we want a hundred pizza huts and five Pepsi plants. - What the fuck? - Americans will use anything but the metric system. - The entire thing is just one thing. - I told this to attack it last night on members morning. He's like, the entire thing is just one big drug deal. He's like, I'll give you this window air conditioning unit for a dime bag like on the fucker we talking about. - It's just like, how many, what is it miles per hour? Well, pizza huts per aircraft carrier. - No shit. How many pizza huts per oil tanker? - There's enough. - So yeah, they work that deal out. They get their oil tankers, they sell them. And then also because now they're not communist anymore, allegedly, Coca-Cola comes in and then just mops the fucking floor with Pepsi. - Well, 'cause to my understanding, no reason why Pepsi owns so many restaurants like pizza and whatnot is like, it's a marketing thing. 'Cause like nobody would carry them so they're like, oh, well, what if we just buy, what is it? Taco Bell pizza. - Taco Bell KFC and Pizza Hut. They bought young brands for the sole purpose of forcing their way into the restaurant market to get people to try Pepsi. So they could start, 'cause everybody else had Coke. - They just still don't like it. - And we still don't like it, correct. - Couldn't force their way to do it. That was their plan. - I think it's fucking wild 'cause all good ideas require force. - Yeah, that's fucking crazy. - It was just the idea of a distributed, it's like echelon bin, buh, getting to that level where it is trading, which 100%, you can buy as much echelon as you want for jets or can we say that? - Oil to curse, oh, we can't, no. - Yeah, I mean, it's a baller move though, to be like, oh, you guys don't want my shitty knockoff, Coca-Cola in your restaurant. I'm gonna buy your fucking restaurant. It's pretty gangster, man. - Yeah, it was pretty big. - Never been honest. Dude, it's, I mean, even buying a fucking oil tanker to trade for, drink is wild. Getting the, getting the, yeah, the, the cool part is like Pepsi was the first American product sold in the USSR. But then like, it's like marketing backfire because like they were like, you know, oh, well, by the time communism falls, we'll be ingrained in the culture. We've been here for two decades already. People have a habit of drinking Pepsi, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, then the fucking wall falls to Soviet Union collapses and everybody's like, oh, this is a knockoff. They're willing to sell the commies. They've been keeping the good shit for themselves. We're drinking Coke. Like, and that's exactly what happened. And like, Coca-Cola came in and just shit stomped him. You know, even with like the pre prep for two days. Well, because that was, that was a whole thing. Is it was like, you know, Pepsi was like sanctioned by the fucking commies and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And it was like, oh, America's keeping the good shit for themselves. So everybody's like, oh, we want to try the American shit. Come on, guys, does loyalty mean nothing to you? I have literally shipped my photo more bus. Was it Pepsi or Coke that did the, hey, you get a free jet? That was Pepsi. Yeah. And then he was like, how are you? Is it a hairier jet? Yeah. And someone did the math and was like, wait, actually, the points cost way cheaper than just buying it. Yep. So I will do that route and then get the jet. And then they did not have the jet. Do you know the story? Yeah, they did hold Netflix as a whole documentary on it, which is the only reason I haven't done a video on it. But like, the kid, the kid sat down and did the math and came up with like, how much it would cost to hire 50 employees and rent out warehouse space to buy massive quantities of Pepsi and just to scan the codes and then like, how much we could resell it for if they knew that they didn't have the Pepsi points and like, how would we get rid of it? And he did all the math and figured it out. And then he went to like his rich uncle who was like a venture capitalist with this idea. And his like, rich uncle was like backing him. And was like willing to give him like the millions of dollars he would need to buy all this Pepsi. And then like, before they started, he goes in and reads a fine print and it's like, oh, you can just buy Pepsi points also. Now it's way cheaper because I don't have to actually buy the Pepsi and hire the employees and scan all the codes and have a warehouse and do all this bullshit. So he just goes in with like a couple million dollars and writes a check for Pepsi points and then goes, okay, I want my hair here now. And Pepsi's like, no, like they went to court over it. Oh yeah, I don't know how the court or how the lawsuit went but I also think it would be horrific to be the guy who's in charge of this marketing ploy for Pepsi and just see somebody like, oh man, these Pepsi point things are really like kicking off and see somebody like delivers you a four million dollar check for Pepsi points like, oh. - So things wrong. - Uh oh, I sense a disturbance. - Didn't they try to say, oh well, we thought it was just way too over the top, but we didn't know anyone would take the series and then that's when they we lost. - Like obvious satire kind of thing. - They won in court. - Yeah, oh yeah. - Wait, Pepsi won or the other guy? - Yeah, Pepsi won. - No shit. - Oh, I thought the guy won. - No shit. - Pepsi won because it was like no reasonable person would take this seriously. It was basically their like line of argumentation and they ended up winning. - That's insane. - Supposedly behind closed doors, they offered him like a multi million dollar payout to not take it to court. And he declined took it to court and lost. - No reason. - Better regrets that. - I mean, to be fair, he didn't lose his own money, right? - He lost his uncle's money. - I mean, so like. - So like, yes, that's how to look at it. (laughing) - She had no reasonable person would think that that's legit. It's like well, to. - This America, first of all. - First of all. - First of all, more of an he-myer. Sometimes a reasonable man must do unreasonable things. - I remember watching Pepsi points. Dude, I remember watching that shit on TV. He was like, "Oh man, that's a lucky son of bitch "that wins that thing." I was also like 10, I think at this time frame. - They should have just reached out to their Soviet buddies and said, "Hey, can we barter a fucking plane?" (laughing) - Oh fuck. So now what do you feel about a nice meagre? - Well, worse than a hairier. - Cody! - Cody! Cody! Cody. - You remember the big wallet I had that was leather and crusty? - The one that hurt your back, it was so (beep) big. - That one. (laughing) - Guess what I got now? - A little wallet? - Yes, my ridge. - It was one of many things that hurt your back because it was so big. - Brandon's wallet blew his back out. (laughing) - You've been cheating. (laughing) - But now we have Ridge wallet. - Tyler, how do you like your American Ridge wallet? - But now say hello to Ridge 2.0, what's that mean? Tyler. - Uh, there was 1.0, and this is 2.0. Nailed it. - Oh, 50 colors and styles to choose from.

And then we have it, it's like a hundred percent golden. - I'll give all he's asking, whatever he wants. - Yeah. - We will agree we've all said this. The book cover should be what. - The meme. - It's gotta be the meme. the minute, they're like trying to make it like some cool bit, like, no, bro, just put the meme. the name and label like the name of the book is I'm that guy the account I'm like any of that like if I'm walking through the airport and I seen that or at whatever and I see that book cover I'm like I need I need to buy that yeah that goes hard as fuck that mean goes hard as best the only reason I like put the name to the it's the meme yeah yeah that made me curious enough to like research who that guy was and then I was just like oh holy shit so bad as the book cover is the other way to go about that the dudes the most crazy stories you will ever I can't wait for you as a release that podcast I know the the cliff notes like I know like the two sentence version of his career but and I'm like intentionally waiting because I want to hear like the details on the podcast he's been to 80 countries I want to say he told me like yesterday so I've traveled to 80 countries how many of them are left I was just gonna say I probably a good portion of those aren't the same countries as they were what we got there that is insane oh you know just backpacking and you all fun and games so the blacked-out Chinook rolls up Blair and Sosa he's just like the kind of guys just like got his walk man the big old glass is listening to Anya all about to just end I've you have you been on YouTube and looked at the comment section of that song love Sosa by Keith chief Keith now that's the song that Delta was listening to apparently all the comments are about the last thing Maduro heard he's still alive yeah but he got ear muffs put on immediately after all so yeah literally the last thing he heard I just oh god again that you're a fucking chief marketing move with jaco oh god dude which is fresh shirt hilarious I missed it what are you talking about after he was getting like paraded around in all the pictures he's wearing a blue hoodie that's a jaco origin hoodie oh she not released yet yeah yeah that was a pre-release product and that's badass someone snuck that in and on him for all the photos shoots did he drop it like as soon as that got leaked yeah cuz that would have a hard yeah cuz I ordered one yeah naturally the Maduro edition bro that's awesome that's what I wonder if there was 80 pushback on that I know Jaco probably was like jaco got on Twitter some patriot put it on him I want to know how much that single shirt sold probably a ridiculous amount right oh dude that is everyone's fucking buy one especially when it is a pre-release that's not supposed to be out it's like hey homeboy yeah we just for in this mission now it's part of this origins such a cool company though to begin with like I've been following them forever like even before I was on YouTube which ones is that just his clothing it's him and him and Pete another like jujitsu blackball guy like got together because they're both I think jaco's from I don't know if jaco's from New England or not but this piece guys from New England and like New England had like a humongous textile industry back in the day and like it all just got like sent over season shit after World War II and he wanted to bring it back and they literally like made a shop in his backyard of his house like out in the woods up in like I think it's in like Maryland or it's in Maine and they have all these cool like they have a cool YouTube channel and like the YouTube channel is like you can't get the equipment to like ring spin denim and shit anymore like that equipment just doesn't exist in America and like the machines are rare and all this just like it's like micro chip machines today you know what I mean like yeah there's only so many factories in the world that have these intricate machines the same reason we can't go back to the moon yeah exactly and so they like have these videos where they like go into like a band in factories in like Maine and shit and find all these old machines and like refurbish them and now they're like the only company in America that makes actual denim jeans blue gene work jeans in America and they're the only I think they're the only American company that makes like jujitsu geese and all kinds of so there's one that um my kid was telling me about that's in like I don't know if it's in like Oregon or whatever maybe I'm just associating that with the hipster ass thing that's about to come next but he said like they had to find the machinery in like Japan or some shit I don't remember where it was Korea because like again we lost the ability to produce American denim like that but they got like a machine Japan started making it was it Japan yep but he was telling me that apparently the whole thing with denim is that you're not supposed to wash it which sounds gross yeah so you're backing me up on that that's an actual thing you're going to wash it very rarely you're not supposed to wash it much at all yep only fuck yeah so like to me I'm just like so those jeans you're wearing right now you have never washed he's like nope like that is disgusting like that sounds just horrible why would you want a material that you are going to put on your sweaty ass and just never be able to watch gross it was there I did not know that about I guess traditional denim so whatever the fuck Walmart makes is this stretch he's also Nick you got your low-income belt from BJJ right yeah yeah no where yeah that's yeah I win yes yeah yeah yeah purple if you want to know it's yeah no you got that he's over your calculate oh yeah I got the joke purple no I got my brown belt in Jujutsu congratulations yeah thank you oh that's what it's called yeah just to my understanding they like you you basically you're at the level where you could get your black belt it's just like there's nobody around I mean yeah more or less it's just like that was kind of the thing so I I went out to a World of Warships because I'm in the video game and it's kind of a funny story so World of Warships is doing this thing where they partnered up with the We Defy Foundation which basically gets money and then like if you're a veteran and you want to try Jujutsu it's expensive or whatever they'll pay for like your first years of tuition and buy your key at any like We Defy Certified Academy so they partnered up with World of Warships and they're doing these like Jujutsu Seminar tournament things on like aircraft carriers and like all these museum ships all across the country and they wanted me to go out to one on the USS Lexington out in Corpus Christi as I yeah sure I'll go so I go and they're like obviously the World of Warships people don't really understand a lot about Jujutsu so they pitch it to me and they're like yeah it's a it's a tournament or a seminar or something we just want you to be involved because like we know you do Jujutsu in the video game and I'm like yeah sure like whatever you guys need like I'll go do like a charity match and you know grapple somebody or I'll teach some moves at a seminar whatever you want well then like I get a hold of the We Defy guy and he's like yeah so and I was a purple belt at the time and he's like so you're a purple belt and he's like I'm like yeah and he goes what are you hoping to get out of this I was like I'm like I'm happy to do whatever you want he's like well they want you to like teach some moves and I was like I can do that if you need to he's like he's like that it's fine but just so you know like the other people teaching the moves are Travis Stevens one of the guys that got his black belt the fastest in the world and there's also a Olympian in judo Victor Hugo who's the best Jujutsu practitioner on the world at this point in time and then like some outrageously other world world quite it wasn't going right but it was a some like out other outrageously high ranked black belt that's like a world class like no name and there's like I don't want to go up with those guys and then as a purple belt be teaching moves he's like I didn't think so so I just got to be like the practice dummy they showed the moves on which is fine this also funny do terrifying when you're like I'll teach and then you hear those of instructors and the sheer gap Nick can ball up anyone here in seconds also that applies what they would do to Nick it's like a high school physics teacher being like did you want to teach a seminar with Albert Einstein no like it's it not the same thing I'll teach the daycare class while he teaches the adults so like that happened but when I went out there like I met Victor Hugo and like we were hanging out and like he was a good dude so then I started talking with him and then so now I'm you know my my gym and I was under Victor Hugo and Steve and their affiliation so we're under them now and nice okay came out been training with them they come out all the time so do you know where you're jujitsu gym yeah nice wait did you get of course we were we were talking about his me and me and Chris would yeah we're talking about this the other day and it just so happened to get brought up with your jujitsu gym I'm like I bet you anything that motherfucker owns a piece like that's just Nick's entire personality is huh I like the way this works how's your business go uh give me five minutes come back all right how much for 20% pretty mine it's about how it went yeah so you do do that for sure yeah anything you like you're like I wanted let's do it how much so now that did they come down and get help get your brown belt or how did that system work I mean it I was just kind of like, you know. you know, like explain the situation. They come down, you know, Steve who runs the gym with Victor Hugo, he's a six time world champion. He's fucking so good. It's insane. And then he brought down his another black belt that's also a world champion. So like they came down and we were rolling and like, you know, just seeing where we're at. And like I've been doing Jiu Jitsu for 15 years. Usually it's supposed to take you 10 years to get a black belt, but like a significant portion of the time I hadn't been under a black belt. We had a black belt for a minute. That guy moved away. So I literally just didn't have anybody to promote me ever. So they came down and we rolled a bunch. They beat the fucking dog shit out of me. And I got 50 pounds on both of them. They just beat the fuck out of me the entire time. But apparently I did good 'cause the next time they came down, they gave me and the other guy on the gym with, they gave us both brown belts. So that's awesome. Yeah. Humbling experience when you're like, I think I can do decent against these guys. Never fucking like, it's stupid. Well, it's like the average guy who could fight can fight until he's in the ring with Sean Strickland. It's like, all right, well. I mean, you can do what we've talked about. It's just the average person that thinks they can do a bar fight and then they box for the first time in their life with somebody that knows how to box. And they're like, oh. Well, that black belt's in like, I would assume any martial art, but like in Jiu Jitsu, it's like, if you're a blue belt, I got a pretty good idea of how good you are. If you've got a purple belt, I got a pretty good idea. How good you are. If you got a brown belt, I got a pretty good idea. How good you are. If you're a black belt, I have no fucking clue. Like you're in it. It's just the greater than symbol. Like you're anywhere from Gordon Ryan to like some middle aged accountant that just did it for 11 years. Like I have no fucking clue how good you are at this. And it's, it's bad. Oh man. Yeah, it's a good time though. What are some of your New Year's resolutions? I want to cut back on stimulants. I'm horribly addicted to caffeine, nicotine, and methamphetamine. Nice, you got a good hookup for the last one? Yeah, he's a real cool biker, down at the love station. What are these ultra-neutropic packages? Pouches, pouches. Well, they're completely nicotine and caffeine-free and packed with neutropics to help with mental clarity. At what moment did you realize you might have been using too much smokies? Well, I showed up home and my family was all waiting for me, and they held what was called in intervention. The boring ass story. The wife left me. Oh, he's still going. Never get 'em. Get 'em back. And that's why you're using ultra now. That's why I use ultra. And I know with ultra, I'll get my family back. I'm gonna get the kids back. It's packed with neutropics. All the neutropics are growing divorce dad needs. And as we kick off 2026, maybe you want some change. Maybe just a small change. Maybe a neutropic change. Maybe an ultra change. It's got the same kick as nicotine pouches without the side effects. Most pouches elevate cortisol, raise your blood pressure and keep you in a constant state of stress. Like war. One of my biggest New Year's resolutions was better sleep. And that's when I noticed the biggest difference. It made me fall asleep easier. Following a sleep was easier waking up. I would feel so much more arrested. Ultra is the ultimate guilt-free pouch. Delivering instant focus and mental clarity all would have nicotine or caffeine. New customers can use code unsub at takeultra.com and get 15% off. That's takeultra.com.

Then I brought the man versus morning boys down in Zach and I convinced them to go to Jiu-Jitsu with me. How did they do? I was wondering that 'cause I want them to also go to box. Those boys have no cardio. When a good grappling is like a different type of cardio just from doing drills they were get. By the time we got to do a live sparring, it was like they all had a good 30 second burst in 'em before they were fucking dead. I'm the lazyest grappler fucking period because I'm letting you expend all your energy and then I'm gonna capitalize on stupid ass mistakes. I am not putting it in. Even boxing I do the same time. - It's annoying. - I'll be very aggressive in the most passive way. So it's like swinging, do lots of swinging until you get tired. Okay, now I can take advantage of your arms going like this like that. - That was the last time we sparred. 'Cause we had a really good first round. It was when we were at the Ethan Bernard and we were just kinda showing him some stuff and first round was really good and second round. And I was just like, I wasn't like super prepared to go into the boxing gym that day. And so I'm like, oh, okay, and it's been a while 'cause I take like a month or two break between times going on the second round about halfway through my cardio is expended. - I'm being very aggressive on Brandon and he is swinging, which I love. Like he is punching and swinging because I'm just pushing him. I'm wasting no energy. - I don't have a chance. The second half of round two, I'm just getting this shit beat out of me. He lies just having fun beating the brakes off me in front of Ethan. Just like, and there were several times where I just like ran away. (laughing) You can't do this run as hard. (laughing) - Look, I'm done. I was just giving me a moment. I'm fucking winded up. - My tried and true strategy is I'm tired but I'm gonna keep pressing forward. So maybe he won't notice. (laughing) - It's my strategy. - Have you done any fighting? - Other than street fighting? - No, now I'm pretty sure. - What, have you not rolled with him? - Oh. - Have you seen that guy? I'm good. What do you think I shoot a gun? - I weigh 180 pounds. I'm not fucking doing that. - What is the joke? Is like, you got a black belt and click pow. - Yeah. - Clock 19. - Clock 19. - Bamfu beats jujitsu every time. - Never, you were like, "I'm gonna test this out." You're like, "No, I'm gonna just shoot a gun." - I mean, a little bit when I was a kid. I mean, they had a ring in an old fucking school. And I, where they'd set up, like you go, have your mom sign up a waiver and then you get in a ring and fight. But it was with other people doing the same thing. I was doing, so it was the same thing. - And a bunch of older guys betting cash on the side. - It's what it sounded like. - Yes, it was exactly that. So like, kind of, but not everything to like a higher level. - Oh shit. - Like I've never fought anybody that actually knows how to fight. So it's just been like, you know, beer muscle, jackass at a bar. That's-- - It's a humbling experience. - Yeah. - Well, I don't have the cardio for that shit, dude. We talked about it the last time I was on this podcast. I can't. Cardio is not in my blood, but I just can't fucking do it. - Well, 'cause that's a crazy part too. 'Cause you think about like, you know, like bar fight, street fight, you know, stuff like that. Like if three, four swings, it's usually broken off. - Yeah, I understand. - Like if there's a whole thing last 15 seconds at most, you get somebody in there and it's like, all right, we're doing multiple three minute rounds and you can't get out until that timer's over. It's like, all right, that's a completely different ballpark. - You get a minute break down in between. - Oh, hey, oh, cool. Don't spend it all in one place. - Out of Zack, dude. I just like Zack at Walm or McDonald's. - Did you see that? - That was what we were trying to do. - Can you make it grow? - I was beating up on Zack a little bit for funsies. - Did he shrimp? - No. - I mean, he kinda owed it to him. - What does that mean? - He couldn't do shit. - Shrimp is like an escape move. - Oh. - Army teaser. What's it called in actual juzuzuz? - Hip-escape. - Yeah, hip-escape. - Hip-escape shrimp, yeah. - Military is like shrimp shrimp. It's combative, it's the dumb shit in the world. - But, no, it's actually good. We have like a promo for underwhelming. It's just like me. Like I hit a bar on Bolo on Zack, which is like, not a move. Somebody as fat as me. I should be able to pull off, like it's funny. - Of course, Zack's just getting torn up in a parrotsal. - Pretty funny. I mean, they were so gassed. It was like, I was being nice to him, but he was just so tired. Everything felt aggressive to him. And like, I do this every week. I'm fat. Like I know how to do this for two hours and not get tired, and they do not. - I was gonna ask you to explain that move a little bit. And then I realized there's an open space over there. It's big enough to try it. And I don't really wanna do that with you. - I can show you, it's fine. - That's like hurt. - That's the day at all. - Can we be the old guys putting pets on this? - Yeah. - Well, that's the day I know the one betting on. - Zack and Olin and Taket learn that Nick can (beep) them. (laughing) - Yeah, I mean, it's not fighting that book. He did what he wanted. - That's the saying is, if one guy can hold you down. (laughing) - Yeah. - Do you guys can (beep) - You said that. - I think that like Justin Gagey that said that was so funny. - Isn't he fighting this weekend? - Yeah, he's fighting Patty Pebblet. It's gonna be an awesome fight. - That was fun, cool. - Wait, those two were, I didn't know. - Yeah, it was those two fights. - Yeah, who ever fights here in Vegas. - To fight a, who's like the super badass striker guy. I can't remember his name. Logan Paul. - No. He's in the UFC. He's been knocking out (beep) everybody. - I did watch that fight. - Not Logan, the other one, just 'cause I was super curious. - Mike. - Mike. - That was amazing to watch. - Joshua. - Anthony Joshua. - I told the guys they were like, I was like, Anthony Joshua was gonna fuck you. - Standing on the back. - Destroy that, man. - What a great (beep) punch. I lost a significant amount of money. I'm not gonna lie. - You bet on it! - I was fucking hopeful because it was so like $1,000 Gagey, gave you 15. So like a little bit. Of course, I got to try a little bit. - I was also going to, I didn't go through, but I was going to bet on Paul again, too, 'cause all right, let's fix it. Like, very decent odds that all this shit has been fixed. - 100% and I was banking on that laterally. - I was hoping to, yeah. - Yeah, exactly. - I said I was like, fucking Anthony Joshua was an active boxer. Homeboy is going to destroy him if he can. In sure, you see that? Once he's seen him in the corner and dropping his hands, who's like, double broken jaw. (laughing) - The picture of his teeth sideways and side of his gum was the most gnarly shit out. - The rumor is that Jake Paul sticking his tongue out is like the official signal of like lighten up because they go back to the Tyson fight and Tyson was like, Tyson was fucking, starting to have the PTSD flashback. He was starting to actually box and then Jake Paul did the tongue thing and then Tyson like led up a ton and let Jake Paul hit him. And then that's what happened in the Anthony fight too. And then they're saying, Anthony's just like, nah, I'm gonna fuck him up. And then-- - 'Cause I was gonna say, just like the moment where he starts flashing his tongue, like the entire time, like Jake is losing. - You're not doing good. - Yeah. - It's just like-- - Really good to take down. So this double leg take down. - Bro, for a biker. - Anthony Joshua was take down defenses on point. - No. - He's stuffing everything. - Stopping instantly. - And then sure, it was just one, hands go down to just straight down. - Well, like the rumor is that like they're like in court because Anthony Joshua, apparently there was supposed to be like a no knockout clause or whatever, where like Anthony Joshua wasn't allowed to knock him out and he did. Which technically he bullshit. - Technically he didn't. He didn't knock him out. He never lost consciousness. He just broke his fucking jaw on two places. Which also props for Paul not getting knocked out. - No. - No, that's fair. - And like the instant response of holy shit was baller, right? - Oh, he got to respect that. - That sucked. - Yeah, that was fucking terrible. Even his brother was like. - Ooh. - And then he didn't have that thing in the corner where he's just like, "Hey, am I fucked up?" And Logan's like, "Yeah." - Yeah. - Yeah. - The Paul, like Joshua said, or Paul was talking before he was like, "I was in the corner talking shit to Anthony." And I think that pissed him off the fuck. I literally just punched my brother in the face as hard as he could. - But the Pepe meme. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Joshua's so fucking fucking good. - So what? - I haven't seen "Linding Back." - The Anthony Joshua Pepe meme is so good. - Fuck. - God, that's, I mean, you know what? Unpopular opinion. I don't think Jake Paul's a bad boxer. - No, I don't know. - He's, I couldn't, you know, go do it, go do it. - You're talking about him? - Guys fucking great. He's just not to pro boxer level in my opinion. - Not a champion boxer? - Yeah. (laughing) - Like the guy's putting, the guy's putting, you know, God, I don't know, a half a decade, decade of work at this point. If he sucked, it would be, that would be embarrassing. - I think one way. - Like to be with the greats. It's like, dude, you know we're close. - No, and you see that lineup when they actually stood side by side. I think that's when you realized, uh oh. - What's this? It's like a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu. - But I mean, it's a black belt boxing for sure. - Right. - It's just this whole black belt, a big spectrum. - It's a world champion. That's why world champion's in boxing would say, it's like, yeah, I thought I had a chance against Pacquiao and Pacquiao's in his friends. It's like, I thought, it's like, I'm a world champion. So see, I'ma beat his ass in. - No, that's death. - They're like, there's, there's literally 15 seconds of a Pacquiao fight. We're Pacquiao through more punches in both Anthony and Paul in the whole fight. - Jesus. - For those Pacquiao's record, like fucking 1200 strikes in a round. - Oh my gosh. - Something is that. - 1,800 to 2,200 punches for an entire fight. - What the hell? - He would average it. - Holy hell. - He averages 100 at minimum, 100 punches a round, which also, I think Paul and they had, I think 80 the entire six rounds. - So what does it look like percentage of people that are absolutely brain dead that fought Pacquiao now? 'Cause that is an incredible amount of damage to your brain. - That's fucking crazy. - My favorite fight is how, what's a Mexican boxer that was caught cheating? - Oh yeah, the guy that was making fun of Freddie Roach. - Yes. - And Pacquiao, fuck him up. - Margarito. - Margarito. - Margarito, he got caught cheating against, he beat up Cotto to a degree. They were like, what the fuck, Cotto was winning and then they, it was never proven, but he rapped his, his raps last year. - Yep, he had plaster in his raps. - They hardened during the fight, then Cotto starts taking damage. They're not used to or seen. Cotto loses at the end of the fight. And then they catch it during the sugar ray. I forget where it's, fuck sugar. - Stevenson, what the fuck? I know who you're talking about. - Yeah, now I forget, but so they catch it before, they're like, yo, those raps, what the fuck is wrong with them? Like, make them change it. And now Margarito gets his ass beat. And then he goes to fight Pacquiao. Then Margarito makes fun of, - Makes fun of Freddie Roach who has Parkinson's, whose many Pacquiao's coach and many Pacquiao box him up. - Good. - Oh, dude, he looked like, I always compare to like passion in the crash. - Right. - Margarito's entire face was reshaped during that fight. He had to retire because of it. - Is he like, is a orbital? - He had to quit afterwards because his orbital bone was broken. Ivision, there was a loss in Ivision. Pull up Margarito after Pacquiao. - Looking at it. - It's fucking gnarly. And Pacquiao. - The first thing that comes up is Margarito versus Pacquiao, face. - And this is after Pacquiao's win up eight weight classes. - Damn. - Eight. - He's the only person to win eight. He was a world champion in eight different weight classes. - That's his scary fucking dude. - Dude, he looks like a Star Wars character. (laughing) - Like show. This is after a boxing match. (laughing) - Like that looks like prosthetics. - If that guy looks like he's out of the movie, he'll have eyes, holy shit. - Dear God. - I'm a prompt for that guy for not taking a nap on the canvas. Oh, holy shit. - Yeah, you could have smuggled him out of the country with a fake passport. (laughing) - They did not have a good time, they had that dude. - Pacquiao just throwing a hundred punches around. - Jesus. - Now what did you guys, you guys walked the floor today? Did you see anything revolutionary? - I want the new panic. - Yes. - Okay, Canon. - I want it so bad. - It is pretty dope. Is that what you guys were talking about before we started? - Yeah, Canon had a collab with Radiant, so it's got an afterburner inside of the Canon Prime, which was already a pretty decent gun in Nick's carry. - Yeah, I've been carrying her right now. - I can love that gun. Now they got a Radiant built in, I want it so bad. - Yes, sick. - Radiant makes that. - They actually made a really good comp for the pistols. - Yeah, for sure. - They claim 44% recoil reduction, I think they actually did that. A lot of people claim a lot of bullshit, but I think they are, they, they, I just put one of my 43x. - Yeah, you're gonna love that afterburner ramjet. - Like I was telling you, I did a video with the 43x, like prior to getting the ramjet, I fucking hated that gun dude. - I, I couldn't understand why people would choose that over something that cost half the price and shot twice as good. Ramjet, all of the difference. - You shot the new. - I actually care that enough. - Have you shot the new Glock yet? Is it worth a shit? - I'm not. Dude, like the idea of having a beaver tail on a Glock, like when I go to draw, I wrap my finger or my thumb across the top of the slide. So being able to like get that over the beaver tail was fucking stupid. That's just gonna slow me down. Like I like the idea, the reason I like Glock, like Glock is because of how fast I can draw it and get on to her. - So you put your finger on the back? - The thumb on the back of this. - Yeah, so if you're like reaching for it and you're looping your thumb, then you're gonna fuck up your grip 100% of the time. - You wrap up the top of it. You can adjust your grip as soon as you meet with your left hand to push out. - Okay. - It saves you a shit ton of time and then you get your grip 100% of the time. - With a beaver tail, you can't do that. - Interesting. - Which is why like the bull armor you will accomplish like what I carry, 'cause it's got the Bob Beaver tail and it doesn't fuck. - I just love how Glock did that, 'cause they fuck over so many people. - Yes they did. - They came out with the Glock, the Glock that can't take a switch, right? 'Cause what was that, the five? Gen five? - Gen V. - Gen V, they came out with the Gen V, they're like it can't take a switch, whatever, whatever. - Immediately took a switch. - So that, well no, but the thing is like, I think they did that shit on purpose just so they could sell out all the backstock of all the Gen fours. - To free up. - To free up space on the shelf. And then three months later you announced the new Glock. So like everybody just went and bought out all the old stock of all the old shit because like all Glock's going woke and they're blah, blah, blah, blah, blah and then they changed it and then they're like, oh by the way, this is a brand new Glock and I get to buy this too, fucking nerd. - It's probably best of all the worlds, 'cause I know they were dealing with a lot of the like the statewide lawsuits. They probably were just like, oh I see this as an absolute win. - Yeah. - Your inventory will create something that can go in these states and then by the way, oh, we aren't telling you until after the fact. After you've already bought all our old shit. - After the panic rush, oh by the way, hey here. - Just go. - Functionally as a handgun though, I cannot tell the difference. Like I can tell the difference obviously, but like shooting it. like a lock Gen 3 versus whatever's out now. Like, or the Gen 4 or Gen 4, I like, I don't. - Dude, I have mixed feelings about clock. I think that they're super modular and if you want to actually stick some money into the fucking thing, so like, you can get a decent pistol out of it. But like, from the factory, there's the echelon. Same price and it's good to go right away. Like buying a clock, you gotta stick so much money into it, I just can't wrap my mind around. Why people still go with clock? - I think it's gonna do it. - I think it just runs. - It does run, it is the AK of the clock world. But I have broke more clocks than I have any other pistol. Then again, I have owned clocks my entire fucking life. They're about a break, I shoot a lot. I get it. - But, I have. - How many rounds would you say you shoot a year? Or like a month? - Especially. - We're about 10K a month right now. - Yeah, that'll happen. - That'll happen, yeah. - I shoot, maybe a hundred a year. - Really? - I do not shoot much. - I need a hundred rounds a year. - Yeah, I don't shoot much. - A handgun or anything? - Anything, I don't shoot much. - No shit, yeah. - Mine is usually, I just need to feel it, like I'll run a mag, and then once I feel how the gun recovers, I'm like, okay, I can. - I can't form an opinion until I run that thing into the dirt to find out where fucking breaks. And then I'll be like, it's good. - It's good. - I think it breaks, we have this. - You should make it to 5,000. - Remember when we went up to Q and we built honey badgers? You should see his honey badger. - He's shot 10,000 rounds and hasn't claimed it. It's the dirtiest star chamber ever. - Dude, I will run that thing until it breaks. - So I can tell people, it's a good gun. - No shit, it's the, I held the gun, and my hands were dirty. - Yes. - I didn't even shoot the motherfucker. - Like I still want to look at him. - I love that gun. It's like one of my favorite things to just go out and play, 'cause it's, it's the dirty kid off Charlie Brown. - Yes. - He's a hundred percent of what he grows. - Especially, especially he's like a call of duty, you know, like into war zone shit like that. You're like, all right, naturally like the honey badger. - Yeah, fuck it. - Right out the gate. - And I decked it. It is so overly tactical. It doesn't even make any sense. - No shit. - And I love the boom box. - Dude, Sam. - Gun is so fine. - But it's also fucking terrifying, 'cause like, it doesn't stop. - Oh my god, every time I want to go shoot it, I can't shoot the steel targets, 'cause that bullet's not like splattering, like any other fucking lead projectile, splattering, I'll hit the ground. - Yeah. - That thing goes somewhere. - God, we did the video. - I was trying to catch it. I could not believe we couldn't catch that fucking bullet. - For a subsonic projectile. - We had subsonic eight, six blackout. We had three blocks. What are they, like two feet wide each? We had six feet of ballistics gel, zipped right through it like a fucking laser beam. - Railroad tie? - Didn't even slow down. So then we got a rail road tie and stuck it in front of the ballistics gel. Zipped through the rail road tie, and then through the ballistics gel. - And then two way steel target and then hit the grain bin behind us. And we're like, holy fuck, don't shoot the steel. - Well, that's why even when we were there, we were like, oh yeah, we made AP subsonic. - And it works, it's work, huh? - Yeah. - Dude, I don't know how much of this is worth. - We're a lot of talk about. - But it's public information. - Is it, okay. - 'Cause they allowed me to put it in the video that way or they saw. - You shot the fucking AP? - No, no. But they have videos in the video. - Yeah, which is that concept. - Some of the armors are some of the armor plates that they were showing us too. Like, I'm just the way it just like ripped through a certain class of carrier or plates. I didn't think that that's a thing you could do. - And fully intact too. Like, most of the time when that happens, it's like a core that passes through or it comes up mushroomed and fucked up. The full fucking projectile, untouched. - Which also great for bedside, but not great because you don't know where it's stopping. - No, it's fine. - And my kids are on the second floor. - Yeah. (laughing) - With the video, like, testing. We did like a bunch of videos. - My wife behind me and the kids are on the second floor. I know where's that. - Do you use a boom box? - Huh? - Do you use a boom box for all of it? - I have, no, not the boom box. I have the honey badger. - I also have. - I have the honey badger by my bedside. - I'm surprised. - I've got 10 millimeter pistol. - I have, I literally have my baby scar, my 300 blackout, and my eight six, my bedside. So I get to choose depending on what's going down and who's home. (laughing) - They have for them. - Like, I'm like, oh, if I'm coming out, I know the kiddos are home. - Okay, he's the A6 cause their walls are straight behind that fucking wall on the journey to the front door. - Derivine. - We did the fat pews video of like makeshift walls for like different calibers to test like, are your children gonna be safe in the house? Is it gonna kill your fucking neighbors? The amount of ammo we got passed through, everything is actually crazy. Like, what did we end up with that had like decent luck? Was it just 300 blackout that didn't over penetrate? Cause like everything was. - 300 blackout. Even nine mil was going through like three fucking walls. - Derivine. - Yeah. - I mean realistically if you like, if you're living in like a country home or whatever, eight six blackout, fucking amazing home defense gun. If you live in an apartment building, you're an asshole. - Well we did, me and Demo Matt, cause he had those junk houses. Where we did that video on the meme of like, what if the bad guy's hiding behind the fridge at your neighbor's house? We did that. Nine mil was able to go through an exterior wall, a refrigerator and penetrate like six inches into a chest. - But let's go through. - Yeah, they do. They do a very good job at doing that. - And then FMJ or? - Oh, but. - That was FMJ. - But it drives me crazy. Like in movies and shits, like people will just take cover like behind a car, like not an engine block, but like a car door or table. They'll flip it, yeah, flip a table in a gun fight. It's like cool, you've made concealment. Not cover. - Thank God I have this wooden table. - I'm glad that would do that. - So much. - I have a, like I got a bunch of cops that I train in Jiu Jitsu and they were showing me like, they went to this like tactical shield class, you know, like that, cause that's how like they're doing breaching out with the shield and shit. And they were showing some of the tactics. And I was like, I mean, they breached with a shoe. That's cool for the guy holding the shield. I'd be real pissed off being the other three guys in the stack. If the guy with the gun knows how walls and guns work, cause those three dudes are gonna get lit the fuck up. - For sure. - Like, I don't know. - Anyways, about Chacho. Did anybody else see anything like worth going to look at? Any cool new innovation? - Has any scar? - You know? - Sick, but heavy. It was a little heavy. - That was a lot. - So I have a 17 at home, like the old 17 with like a sure fire, I think like the titanium can. It's like, I don't know what it's called, 762 Ti or something like that. It felt about the same weight, frankly. Like I was pretty all right with it. I was impressed. There was a lot of little details that. - Yeah, that's kind of what we noticed too. - I just thought like, oh, you added an M-Loc handguard. That's what I thought. Like, okay, well now you've got a longer handguard too so you can actually get a proper C-clamp on it, updated the iron sights, suppressor ready, slightly upgraded trigger, the hydraulic buffer system on the inside with a skeletonized bolt carrier. - Does it still have the Ugg-boot buttstock? - Yes, but that's iconic. You can't get rid of that, dude. - You can't get rid of that, dude. - But it's pumpkin spice latte. All the time when you rock a scar. - God damn right, it is. - I love my favorite videos. It's like, when you get your scar at and it's like the two-scarf boots going down and walking. (laughs) - You have a line of teeth. - I'm taught, dude. I saw the new HK Breacher. I fucking love that thing. I'm so excited to get it. - Yeah, Ruben and some more neck. Wait, what the fuck is that? - It's, you know how they came out with the civilian 416 last year? - Yes. - They came out with a 308 version. - That's the Air 10. - Yeah, the 417. - Yeah, the 417. And it comes in a, you can get it in a 16 or a 13 inch barrel. It's dope. - 13 inches on a 308 is pretty aggressive. - I'm a huge fan. (laughs) - I like it a lot. - As long as it's fireballs are next. - Hell yeah. - Yes. - And no suppresses. - The fireballs are great. - And the FN has the bolter. - Yeah, that 30 millimeter grenade launcher that I'm basically, I was on my hands and knees with knee pads and a bib saying, "Can I please fire this fucking thing?" 'Cause I was looking at it. The one thing I did noticed, like I know prototyping a little bit. Different things like the follower was, follower was 3D printed. A lot of the components on it, like the magazine release, the bolt release, stuff like that was like MJF, which is like an advanced form of like 3D printing. A bunch of little stuff, like the dust cover, little sliding dust cover thing was 3D printed. I'm like looking at a lot of elements of this. I'm like, this is still very much a prototype. And that's fine, as long as I get to shoot it when you're done. - Do they have any working models out yet? - I don't know. They said that they fired the ammunition. So like they've done testing with the actual ammunition itself, but they didn't say if the gun was fully functional or not, or yet not, or not yet. - Will you be able to buy that ammo? - As a civilian, no. I would highly doubt it. - But no, like with your classification. - So I have an 0702, like SOT and everything like that, manufacturer's FFL. I think in order, like especially if it's like high explosive ordinance, I think you either need a type 10 or a type 20. So you need like an explosive, like a magazine and shit like that. - Maybe Mike can help you out when he comes on the podcast. - Well, he knows it. He knows a thing or two, 'cause he's seen a thing or two. - That's the first question. How many pounds of C4 you think you've detonated? 'Cause he was a EOD guy. - How many pounds of C4 you think you've gone through? [laughs] Bro, like asking him how many rounds he's gone through in a month like how much C4 have you probably Dude, he's like atless holding up the entire plus steaks industry It's the most expensive man and JSOC right there show some respect God dude, it's gonna be wild hearing some of these stories from him because it's no one knows any of oh and the best fucking part the best part He wrote every single one. He was very big on journals Everything is documented to a like I want we'll see what I can keep in but Nancy said Every journal I'd like 32,000 words in it Yeah, let's read document it this everything from Vietnam on dear diary. There was a dictator Day diary. Do you know what six pounds of C4 does to a man? I do Drawing Right right on yeah, let's go say hey, can I borrow your red? It's like holy shit and all the photos that have never been released of him so fucking stoked for that shit Like yes. Yes. How did you lighten that that is awesome? That was a random everything he posted on fucking He posted one on Twitter and we've talked about them on the podcast multiple times. We all got tagged that yeah And he went to like 150,000 subscribers in a day and a half. It was very quick and it's such wholesome posts, too It's such a this is me and my wife after we climbed the mountain I was wondering too because I'm like man I Because he travels the world is with his wife They'd like do a bunch of like hiking and backpacking stuff and like that's awesome like what a better way to spend your retirement right or what better? I'm curious if they just like oh, yeah going backpacking through Cambodia and he sees this big open clearing with no trees and just goes Just lucky and Super excited. What other guns did you Hat or see or anything during shot. There's that fucking I feel like shot show most of the time most of the gun companies Releasing something. It's just a most back AR 15, but this one's 10 pay me a thousand dollars extra for it So typically shot shows bullshit. It's the same thing different paying job I finally have seen some innovation in the gun world and I can't stop talking about there's a guy named Travis right out right at arsenal You made the pistol called the dragon. It's got like a Have you seen the logo alien? Yep, so super low bore access. It's even lower than that and it's got like the red dot doesn't move It's got like a diving board for a beaver tail. I think I know what you're talking. Wait, is this cheap $3200? How much is $3200 for a base and it shoots better than a log of alien? It doesn't get hot. It's got a 1911 style trigger. So you got that straight pole A lot of those already pretty fucking flat. Yeah, but this thing like I've never felt a recoil because it's lever delay system It's not direct blowback. So it's got that weird delay So like you get rid of your gases before you feel the recoil impulse so like because the alien is a gas delay Yeah, which is weird. So you still get like the punch, but you don't get as much muzzle rise So like a shout out to fuck a log how they did make a good pistol, but yeah And now they're doing like a compensator version. So like it's an entire modular system. If you don't like anything about it Pop the mother off. It's like adult Legos. You can replace it. So like Slide frame fucking mag will aesthetics of anything. You can change the entire funny thing. What's it called again? Right out our small dragon got it. Oh, yeah, I feel like I've seen so like it promos and shit like that on Instagram It seemed interesting. It's super like at first when you look at it You're talking up to be like the halo pistol somebody made a gag fucking pistol But you get your hands on it and see like the amount of like innovation that went into it Tony Stark made a pistol and it shoots like frankly like not to suck you off or anything But you're like the best influencer possible when it comes to like person like high-end Stoles and shit like that. Oh, that's my that's my tism right there. I'm like as soon as I don't even have to have seen it as soon as you say like Oh, it's like the best thing I've ever shot and was like, well, I guess I'm buying one. Well, I do that I do the same thing I texted I texted him before I buy any gun It's hard to not title every video like that because like I am still a little fucking giddy kid when it comes to guns So like somebody comes out with something I'm like Yes, the coolest thing ever like I got a sit on it for a couple months, so I can calm the fuck down So I can give somebody like a realistic opinion on it So like when I get a new gun. I'm like let's go run a couple throws around through this. Yeah, wait a couple months And then I'll fucking talk about it. I'm the same way with like different firearms like throughout history and stuff like that I'm like, oh, dude. I'm so stoked like god I cannot wait to do a video on this. This is so fuck this is like one of the coolest guns I've ever shot He's like there's somebody who comes up like oh, well like what's it good at? I'm like nothing. It's dog shit That's fucking awesome. It's actually fucking horrible like it's objectively bad at everything. It's ever tried compared to everything else But it's so cool. It's so drippy dude I say the same thing like I so come 16 or M1 a and EBR chassis Pointless you can't shit with them. They're unreliable. They're heavier shit. Cool. It's got an existence. I love him. Yeah, he's there They're so cool. I care. Are you ever going to make a step? Oh my god I've been asking you for five years. What is it like is that? What is it an M2 or it's the fucking 30 caliber machine gun with the buttstock from a M1 grand a custom trigger and the carrying handle from a bar or something crazy. There's There's something specific about it I remember like it being like slightly hard to build because it's like it has to be like the anti-aircraft version because they lightened it or something It's got higher Yeah, cuz it's not water cool. It's got a higher cyclic rate. Yeah, there's there's there's some like particulars about it, but yes, we've looked at you know what we're talking about right the stinger That's the launcher the the Marines the Marines McGyver it together During World War 2. Oh my god. That is amazing. It's a it's a 19 19 let me look aircraft Machine gun with the M1 grand buttstock a trigger and a Bale on it. We had a conversation with Zach our SOT about this and he says that he could make one if we could find a 19 19 He'll make it fall out. I wouldn't put the bar stock on it for us to run because I'm fucking down Dude as long as the chamber didn't three away cuz I don't want to pay for 30 out six belt head. But it's part We can do that all that Oh, yeah, yeah, cuz it's got the B.A. R Carry handle and the my pod and all that shit. That looks dope as it's like super mad Max and I just want to run the shit out of it Marines mate. It was actually like the dude that came up with it was like a watchmaker that was a Marine Yeah That was in jeep so hot. No, we got a good bit like that's the drippiest gun of all time. It's pretty fucking I would be a fallout gun ever I would love to get my hands on one like I don't like I don't know if there's any originals I don't know the throw are you there? I would imagine those didn't survive. There's no way you can't shoot the fans love it We have two different things at once. It's fantastic. It's true. Yes, but You'd be the first person to ever pull the trigger again Oh, oh, yeah No, you'll never shoot is Mark 24 I can't even rank enough to fire around for that fucking thing dude. I've never racked it. Are you shit me? It still has the paint Don't really insult like what's insane. He's like don't even press check it. He's like don't like Yeah, they're gonna. Don't even touch it. P.H. Oh dude. The P.H. You once still has the wax Like the magazine. Oh, that is awesome So I've never been able to do that. So my dad I'm not only one probably in the group There's like I can buy a never touch dude. There's no chance I had to like convince my dad because he likes to collect like pre-64 winch esters is a huge thing in the gun community I'm sure you know that but uh like that's his fucking thing pre-64 winch esters And he wants the early serial numbers that's still brand new in a box covered in fucking grease and that's like The his thing and he'll spend an ungodly amount of money on like low serial number pre-64 So we got like serial numbers one through three on a Winchester shotgun It's been like 30 grand a piece of his motherfuckers. He got my homie's like talking about it I'm like this coolest thing ever like you know shoot those He's like no, no, they've never been shot like So you're gonna let somebody else be the first one to shoot these fucking guns. What are you doing? I don't that's a good point. We went out shot. I don't believe in save queens No, no, no, there's there's a couple that I I would probably say out of my entire collection I've got some eclectic shit. There's maybe like 20 that I treat super well just because like it's you know Like rare expensive the paint and like all the like wooden shit. It's very nice You know certain things you hold with like respect and like especially like the more historic it is and the rare It is like okay. Well, you don't want to beat it up But it got pretty much everything. I'll shoot it. The f*ck gyro jet. We shot that's true And that one. I mean we did fuck it up, but like in my mind. It's like it's I Could not find good footage of its firing slow motion So like to have ballistic high speed out there and like document this super rare pistol It's like man, even if we f*ck up this one gun that there are thousands of like Just so anybody has access now to the footage to see what this thing was and how it worked like to me That's a trade-off. I'm willing to make 100% I feel like that video is gonna hold the more historical value than the actual pistol Them bullets aren't gonna be functional and f*ckin what 10 years nobody's ever gonna be able to fire that you have a video for people 100 years from now to reference this pistol. We're about to do it again. I have a a gyroget rifle. What? The gyroget carbine. I don't even know that was a thing. Most people don't. Didn't for a while. Did you find more ammunition for it? I have some that I kept in reserve. And like you said, that ammunition is expiring. Yeah. It doesn't work all the time. No, no. I mean, we probably had I think one out of three is fired and one way or the other. Like some like half the engines didn't go off. Like it was just a just spirals out of control. Yeah. Like it was fucking 10 degrees off target. Well, whoop. Dude, like videos like that are so incredible to be able to make though like. That's a privilege. That's going to outlast the fuck out of you. Oh, yeah. People are going to be able to reference that when they're talking about guns like that. So I think it's worth it to be able to make it on something historic to be able to make an impact on it. Like fire him history like that and be able to preserve it. Yeah. It's pretty cool. See, I don't give a fuck about that. My guns are getting shit. They stayed in the same. I'm gonna get you drunk enough to fire that fucking AIDS game and a lot of your stuff isn't even that particularly rare comparatively. It's the rarity is because the condition it's in, like your mark 23 is like I've literally never seen one. Everyone could get one. Yeah. I've all went to a gun store like that's insane. But yours to be what it is and still be in that condition. Like unwracked pristine Mac like all that stuff is unheard of. A original cat can and then a original lamb you're like, oh yeah, it will never get touched fired, moved. Okay, but to be fair, I've never had my hands on something like that. So I couldn't like say if I would be the same or not. The only experience I have with that is my father and I'm like, hey, I didn't fucking pay the $30,000 piece. Let's do these motherfuckers. Dude, well the W.A. 2000 came up and that's the one that would be like all of us have to go in and buy because it's like 300 grand. $360,000. Now it is one of the most gangster sniper rifles that would, that you know what we're talking about. No. Oh, bro. So yeah, modern warfare two two went up at the same time, $360,000, $320,000. They're fucking rare, but Jesus. We don't touch it, we, we would never fire that thing. Dude, that will crush. Oh, I love that thing. Oh, I liked that a lot. There is apparently like less than 20 in the United States. That's why they are. Very rough. Birds like my friend selling one, I was like, yeah, daddy buy what $360,000. Never mind. I am not that rich. Yeah, that's something like the company stuff and things can go in and recreate based off of a different platform. And I'd be perfectly happy with that. Yeah. I mean, like PSG1, because Brandon's doing a version of it. I think he's talked about about it, but you're creating a PSG1, but there's a weird child in the PSG1. Like that is the biggest Ford assist you will ever see period on a rifle. I say now, I was like, holy shit, that is a large Ford assist. Brandon was like, I don't think these had 'em because the 308 or the G3s don't have Ford assist. No. That is the weirdest thing I've got ever. Dude. Yeah. Like. Yeah. Back to the bike. Yeah. Like for the clone of the PSG1, because I think they're cool. I don't necessarily know like, like 40, 50 grand cool. I don't know about that, but like I could, we're going to spend like fucking eight grand, like cloning it pretty fucking close. But it won't be like 100%, whereas I know Eli is like, like, autistic stickler about shit like that. And like, close is not good enough. It's fake. Fake and gay. Doesn't go. But like, honestly, I probably would have bought. If you didn't buy it for that price, I would have. Oh, yeah. Because I, that was like a steel, it was like 30 grand, 32 grand. Really? Yeah. Actually, a month later, one sold for in wayward shape. Ten grand more. Yeah. I bet that is like significantly higher now. Oh, well, this was, that one was without a box, but it was on an auction that led up to it. This one was a last minute, Brandon's calling me with the 32nd window on how much I'm spending on a gun. And I'm like, I don't, I'm driving. What are we doing right now? Because we had just, yeah, we just left breakfast. And it will, because oh, so on my end of this, it's like rock island auction. So like it's a live auction. And I had said a text reminder because I'm like, I remember Eli, one of that, I pop in. It's going like up on the block and it's going for cheap. And so I call Eli, like, I don't, I've got like a dual feed in the audio through my truck. So like, I've got the auction. And I do, yeah, 30,000. 30,000, 30,000. Now that I'll 32, no 32, 32, like Eli, do you want, do you want a PSC one for 30 grand? What PSC one 30 grand right now? Uh, yeah, how about 42? Sure. You own one. Huh? It was a 40 second phone call. Yeah, I thought that's the eBay bidder something with way more time. This is done in less than a minute. It was like you were theoretically that phone call cost $500 per second. That's fucking dope. Dude, when I think about spending that much money, that much amount of money on a firearm, like, I've been trying to convince this fucker that we need to buy Whistland Diesel's tank because he keeps posting it on his Instagram. What is it like? What is it like? Half these on his mother. I don't even know. I don't know. I keep tagging them in the comment section and then she was probably like, 70 dude, a half season of fucking tank. We can have a long order meant and something dope to put in the channel like one time purchase for a YouTube video. Oh, hell yeah. I already accidentally bought a replica of Little Boy and it's in my garage still okay. Yes, awesome. I was accidentally bought. Oh god. That was very intentional. Have we ever known this story how I got that? You walked in the gun store and you're just like, would you make another one? Yeah. Well, that by the day I got it to my house, just like hauling a trailer. I called my boss for my electrical contractor and I was like, hey, can I borrow your truck with that low boy trailer? He's like, yeah, no problem. Just swing by, pick it up whenever, didn't ask me what it was for, okay, cool. I show up in a. Is this an open trailer? Yeah. So it's a trailer that it's really cool. So it's for like, scissors, listen. So you like pull the pins out and the hole and there's a button and the trailer lowers itself to the ground. So there's no ramp. So you just drive a switch and lift right onto it and then it lifts it up with an electric fucking motor. So I just wheeled it into the bag of this trailer and it's like blank electric company on the side of the truck and trailer and I'm driving a nuclear bomb replica through the middle of town with it. I just send him a picture. He's like, what the fuck are you doing with my truck? You should buy another one and give it to Ethan as a gift. So when you deliver it, you have to drive through Los Alamos. They're like, not again. Not again. Not again. Not again. I love my train group so much. I was with him when we walked on that gun store and we had like a very deliberate plan. We were going to go in there and pick the guns that we're going to do and go shoot. He didn't give a fuck about anything else we were doing. He belanded to that bomb. He's like, how much make me this? When they went to your house for the first time or still, does he go and like look in different rooms and nooks and crannies? We've noticed that and Nick just goes in and open shit, pull shit out. Yeah. I mean, I have like a gun broom like you go, of course. Well, this is like-- Look at everything. Nick, the first time you came over, I think Sam just met you and you're like, ah, you're opening up our like silver work chart. I love how you're like mounting up like a theoretical muffin. You got to know the environment around me. Oh, dude. It's just like an horrible, a really same thing. Oh, my God. No, no. It's so much worse than that. Like when I get a package and like, I'll step over to go over. He will straight-- What the fuck? That's just a crime. Look down if he doesn't open the box, he will freak-- what's in the box? What's in the box? Like, we'll be driving somewhere. I'll get my mail thrown in the back seat. He will not hold a conversation or do anything until he finds out what the fuck is inside of the box. Okay. Eli gave me an edible and then with me with his cabinet for like an hour. That was-- Oh, because it was every-- Yeah, what? He gives me an edible. And I'm like, okay, cool. And I take this out of-- he pulls the edible out of cabinet A. Like, okay. That's where Eli keeps the edibles. That makes sense. I remember this story. And I take this edible and then we're sitting there bullshitting and he's got like the island with that you can like sit down with like the high, you know, like the high chairs and shit. And we're all just sitting hanging out in his kitchen. I've taken this edible. And Eli's like, oh, if you tried my new protein, fucking cookie, whatever the fuck. So I was like, no. So then he goes to cabinet A and pulls out the protein and goes, okay, this way he puts all the edible stuff. That makes sense to me. Okay. He's got the protein and the edible's and the edible's. All right. That's a dangerous game. And then we're talking for another 15 minutes. I'm getting progressively more high. And then we get on the topic eight, six blackout. And then he's like, have you ever seen an eight, six blackout that's been fired? No. Tac, it's like, no. He goes, oh, check this out. He goes over to cabinet A and pulls out an eight, six, alive, eight, six round. And then an eight, six round that's been fired. Depending on who you ask, also an edible. The world's most dangerous food. He pulls that out. And then there was like, there was three other ridiculous things that you just kept pulling out of this cabinet, none of those related to the shit prior. Like, cabinet A holds everything, that's my emergency. Mary Poppins. That's what I like. He's got the tartist drawer. Oh, my God, so with you, what's your favorite? Firearm that you own fucking period. Do you have your go-to? I mean, if you like you get a sanction that often different categories like favorite Striker Fire, favorite Hammer Fire, favorite PCC, favorite AR-AK bolt-action, you can't just go one gun, right? My favorite to shoot of all times a Nighthawk Tarris. That's my go-to, take it out to the range, have a good time. Nick's probably ran fucking two thousand rounds for that thing. The Nighthawk? Was it the Nemo? D.R.S. Yep. Absolutely. What's your most sentimental gun? I don't really have a sentimental gun. I still have all of the guns like I grew up on and learned with and none of them have fucking rifling anymore, but like, yeah, I can imagine. Yeah, nothing crazy, I don't know. There's an MP5 like when we first started doing the pubiew channel, I started to make a little bit of money. That's like the first gun I bought with money I made from the YouTube channel. So that one's like that's like your play button. Yeah, that's cool. That one's still sitting up in the gutter room. Yeah. What makes the Nighthawk just dude? I don't know. I swear to god, I think it's bluetooth magic because I've shot more expensive guns. I've shot more guns that like seemingly should be better than Nighthawk Tarris. It's just a perfect balance. Like they returned to zero, the trigger on it, which is a wild statement from you. That is like they crushed it with that. I can't I can't put that in anybody's hands and then shoot bad with it. Like I'm in a shot. No, dude, like we've pushed the limits of this because I want to see what this fucking magical gun can do to people that don't know how to handle a firearm and they just rip with it. No shit. Yeah, I mean, I'm steak out my wife shoot her over there and now she doesn't want to ever shooting anything else because like once you get to the Pentecostal of a Nighthawk TRS, everything else is like garbage, like which is the hardest part about my job by the way. Like I have to review a little bit of everything. So going to San Viper or a Nighthawk TRS and then back down to a Gen 6 clock, fuck that clock. There's a statement, you know, there's only $700. Yeah, I know, but like there's a lot of good guns for $700 that beat the shit. What an eight was $700. It's a clock. Oh, oh god. I don't see a Nighthawk. Excuse me. Holy shit. It's always ridiculous. But I got my paying the San Viper is better. Dude, I can't. The San Viper is a very close second, but the return isn't what the Nighthawk is. It was just about to ask, like you're your thought about like the San Viper pit Viper. It's it's very good, but like it's a little more sporadic. It's not tuned to return to zero when you're double-tabbing with a 12 split. Well, as somebody who will never do that. Right. I mean, most people are gonna see the difference, but you're right about issues that most people don't have, huh? Right. You're just like, man, this steering call is a little tight in this F1. Like, dude, I will know. Well, tight on turn three. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And there's a lot of really good 2011s out right now. And that's like the fucking fat of the gun community. And now we're seeing like $2,500 like the Kimber Pro Cup. Most people will shoot that and chalk it up to be just as good as the Nighthawk. We headed out with a couple of days the other day and I have a fundamental problem with Kimber in general. Really? Yeah. Oh my god. I love the new shit they're doing though. Really? Dude, my job isn't to talk about like the companies or judge them or what they fucking done. Or are they making a good pistol? Kimber fuck. There's a lot of just issues. I have a different companies for different reasons that like, whether it's like, export, like, whether it's like claiming American made while all the shit gets like 80% of it's done in Korea. And it's like finished in America like different like little things that like does it make it a shit gun? No. But like, just it's like a little ning ning in the back of my head that just I can't let it go. Dude, I try like we've done kind of videos going back and forth on all of that shit. Like, I'll want to absolutely rip a company about like, this has made America and I know this side is the one manufacturing this entire fucking thing. Correct. And I want to bring that to the attention. But like, that's not my job. I got to shut the fucking just shoot the gun, you know, which sucks because like, I enjoy talking shit. Speaking of what just myth in my sense fixing my pistol. I know what happened? what's myth in Western do? I bought their new shield X. Oh my god. It fits awesome in the hand. Like, it's a it like holding it in the guest house. I say, if this shoots decent, this thing's awesome. And I bought it. And I start shooting it. And like, I start having a problem while I'm shooting that I've never fucking experienced where like, I would go to like, repeat rounds. And I would like, feel the reset and pull the trigger and no bang. I was like, what the is going on? I took the ammo out. I like, I'm testing the reset. And it's like, my pistol had a false reset in it. Like, the trigger would go click. And I could pull it click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click. And then I had to go like 30% further. And then it would click a second time. And then I could refire which not just for anyone that doesn't know that is very dangerous because you get so used to that reset when you're shooting. Once you feel it, you know, now I can pull back and then pull that trigger and engage the enemy. If it's a false reset, it's a big fucking deal. Yeah. But like, shout out to them for not seeing you and actually owning up to their mistakes. But the public about that, they got to accept responsibility. I sent it back. And then like, I sent it back. They sent it back to me again. And they're like, there's nothing wrong with it. So that's what you texted me. So then I put it up on Twitter. And within an hour, they had a hold of me. And they're like, what's the serial number? Send it back. We're going to fix it. That's not okay. But at least they went and found the incompetent person. Yeah, for sure. Back like that and made shit right. Yeah. For sure. They offered improper training to get more suited. Yeah. It does suck. It does. That's a crazy way of saying face down in a ditch. That guy doesn't have a job anymore. But like, I was trying to be a light about it. But it it because it is suck. He's they argued it first, right? Nick? Well, no, they just they didn't like, there was no like dialogue between us. It was just like, I sent it back, assuming that it would get fixed. And you know, like, I'm assuming my FFL wrote down on the paper. Like, there's a false reset. There's something wrong with the trigger. Check it out. And like in in defense of them, like, I do think that for the, I'll say the average shooter, an average shooter probably wouldn't even notice a false reset because they're not shooting at the same speed that I'm shooting. Like, they're just you have to have a certain skill level to even notice that being an issue. So like, there's a good chance that whatever technician read the thing, like something's wrong with the trigger. And he's like, no, it's fucking fine. So like, you know what I mean? Like, it's not even, it's whatever. But like, if you shoot guns enough, like, you know what the **** I mean. And it is a big deal. And it does fucking suck. So like, it was just, it was something that fell through the cracks, but they're fixing it. Well, I, I, I, sorry to interrupt. Uh, I know we're not, uh, at the end of the podcast. We are actually. Oh, really? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's actually a perfect time. So we can wrap up. Mr. Brain has a fancy dinner to do. Yeah. Well, you know, it's doing everything we can. He's going to be a big congressman soon. I'm just going to stay the same side as I hope. But no, we're going to, you and Nick really fat this year. I did that last year. I do brain. I do. I love what in Washington, D.C. or, um, pinnigone brain. That was really bad. Oh, yeah. That was, that was really bad. Yeah. What? How the **** did none of you tell me I was getting fat? That was, I did. I was like, go to the gym. No, I just needed to stop fucking eating. What a burger. Yeah. You know, but well, anyways, thank you all for coming to the unsubscribe podcast live, not live here from Vegas. I'm joined today by you like double tap. Pew view, fat electrician and myself, Brandon Herrera. Thank you guys. Love you. Bye. Bye. Bye.
