The Weirdest EMT Stories You’ve Ever Heard | Unsubscribe Podcast Ep 276

The podcast episode blends humor, personal stories, and niche interests. Brandon Herrera opens by discussing his Texas congressional campaign, emphasizing local issues like water shortages and the screwworm crisis—a fly larvae that devastates cattle. The group explains how sterilized flies were historically used to control it, but funding cuts allowed its return, threatening the beef industry. The guest EMT recounts his shift from routine calls to chaotic COVID-19 pandemic work, using dark humor to cope. A memorable anecdote involves a patient who inserted a G.I. Joe figure, leading to an awkward hospital transport and jokes about "ass boxes." The dispatcher also shares a disturbing case of a 911 operator who hung up on thousands of calls, resulting in a death but only a 10-day sentence. Firearms discussions highlight dream guns like the Oerlikon cannon and minigun, with Brandon showing off his new FAMAS. Watch collecting is a recurring theme, with each timepiece symbolizing personal milestones, such as a Rolex Pepsi marking his daughter’s birth and a Black Bay for a YouTube milestone. The episode balances crude humor with genuine insights into emergency services, politics, and hobbies, maintaining a casual, banter-filled tone throughout.

Yes, it was actually when the cattle industry was saved by fly shooting likes. Wait, elbow deep. That GI Joe figure was elbow deep. It was all the way inside him. Just like that. Well, what makes you go into some stranger's house and shove their things up here? It was GI Track Joe. That's exactly what we called up. That took me a fucking minute. This hair is fucking fabulous. Don't know. A dark dope disposition. There's a fat electrician. Look at the unsubscribed. Three, two, one. Oh my God, splashed. echelon is great. Remember this? Settle. Not a plug. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the unscribed podcast. I'm doing a day by Eli double tap EMT badge 502. Brandon Herrera, myself, donut operator. Thank you so much for being here. What's up, bitches? What's going on? Look, it's a boy today. What's up, y'all? He's back. Back number two. I didn't realize he was. I forgot. I spent so much. And then we were talking about the live shows. You were like, yeah, this and I was like. Yeah, because he was there in Jersey. I was in Jersey. Yeah, I was I was a great time. I don't think I was on the podcast. You were on though. No, no, you are. I had a, I had Nick. I had Eli. I had actually a Leon Leon sitting over here. So I had an excuse for not remembering. Yeah, and that's totally fine. I got blown up. Well, as far as excuses go, that's like a five out of 10. Yeah, but I can welcome bad guys, man. It's good to be here. You know, it's gonna be sitting at the round table. It's nice. How are we looking? It's oval. It's oval, oblong. Did you get blown up twice? Really? No, that's a lot. Yeah. I was totally sorry. No, cut out. That's a lie. So then the internet starts doing research. So I missed it in on somebody cut my arm off quick. EMT stolen valor. Dude, we got a whole bunch. I mean, everyone's been doing a lot of shit. And we're just trying to fit in. Time for the podcast right now. It's blast. It's a busy time. I know. We got Cody Wave. You've been up to me and Brandon. We went to Vegas to scope out the range today. Yeah, because that's going to be coming up sometime and then immediately after Vegas, you, you went somewhere. What a couple places. You went to a couple of places. I don't know. I think we were all running around for like a straight month and a half, two months. They're like crazy because we did racing school. I don't know what you're doing. That look fun. Went back on the campaign trail, but where are you up to? Except for racing school. I was with you guys for the most of it, I think. I don't know, just working stream and say I'm all say I'm all live in that dream. Yeah. Doing the work. Dude, how goes campaign trail, Mr. Brandon? Well, it's really cool. I get to spend at least one to two days a week in my own house. It's really cool. Overachiever. Yeah, I get to sleep in my own bed. I'm like at a certain point. I was like, why didn't I just get a storage container in a just a hotel room when I'm in town at this point? Not bad. Yeah. It's not too late. It's it's been good though. Like we're going all over the place because it's such a big district. It's the biggest district in all of Texas. Biggest border district in the country. It's it's massive. So there's a lot of it's 27 counties that we have to cover. So we're we're just hitting the ground every day we can. Beautiful. Just talking to people and not even waiting to do the job, just showing up and and finding out what the issues are, whether it's data centers, whether it's power lines, whether it's like the big bend border wall, screw worm, just handling it now. What do you find is like the biggest issue that's coming up? There's a lot of like there's a lot of big federal issues. Like everybody wants to talk about, you know, like, Oh, gun control, war or this, that whatever, but really a lot of the things in the district that like we can actually help with are like the local issues. And a lot of them weirdly are not political. It's like it's not Republican Democrat. It's it's just, hey, we're running out of fucking water. Here's how we need to approach it. Hey, screwworm is an issue. How can we solve it? Hey, border walls going up here through this, you know, national park that doesn't need it. We're wasting a bunch of money and ruining the landscape. Like how do we fight that? And so it's or how do we, how do we keep the border secure without needing a physical barrier? And so it's there's a lot of localized issues like that. And honestly, that's been the most fun is because like for me, like as a business owner. I've just been a problem solver for a while, like anybody who's been in business knows that you just become a professional firefighter. It's a tech putting out fires figuring stuff out putting out fires. And so for me, this is fun. So that this is like right up my forte is just trying to figure out how we can solve these problems. And so we've been just killing that nonstop. That's awesome, man, question because I know what screw or screw worm. So do you do legit on up? I know, but okay, got it for the mask. So screw worm is basically so it's a it's a type of fly that has been. Okay, I had never mind. I don't know. Oh, really never mind. Yeah, you just threw a different screw worm is not one. So I'm like, yes, it's a fly. It's a helicopter. Well, so one of the well, that's one of the big issues right now is because you know, Texas is obviously very big in the cattle and like beef industry stuff like that. So there is a type of fly that exists that basically like it lays its eggs in, you know, wounds in cattle or different, a couple different things. But it has a near 100% fatality rate. That's probably within like I want to say two weeks. Don't quote me on that. But it's a huge, huge issue. And it was a really big issue back in the 60s. We put out a bunch of sterilized flies. So male flies that basically just made it so that they couldn't reproduce. And we beat it back. Yes, it was actually when the cattle industry was saved by fly shooting planks dead serious. We beat it back down south of the Darian gap down back to South America. And it hasn't been an issue until the last couple years. I mean, Connor did a video on it after we talked about it. So you want to look up the screw worm video by King Trout. Yeah. But it's it's it's back essentially for the first time in decades. And so we're making sure that we we fight it effectively. And I was meeting with the EPA USDA couple of Congressmen just trying to figure out everything we can do to expedite that. See, that's awesome because that can get out of control fast, which I'm assuming Connor, you had all the information on how much that fucked everything in the past. I'm sitting on my lap. Oh, I just really wanted you to sit on my lap. Trying to loop in the car about. Speaking of screw worm. Oh, no. Little banana in your pocket. You just screw them to see me. That's a screw woman. So my head loads that. We're right back. Pop out your dentures. Then we like completely beat it out of the country. Like Brandon said, starting in the 60s up until I think we got it out in the 70s. All the cases that were coming in were coming across the border from Mexico. So then we had these sterile fly facilities out in West Texas. I think there was one pushed them all the way back all the way back down into South America. We were funding this facility and then the problem was no longer around because it was outside out of mind. And so they shut down funding for the facility and wouldn't you believe it? Third world Central America nations didn't handle the problem and keep it resolved. So it made its way back as of what a month ago. How much money did you get into the US anyway? It came across a dairy and gap acute a couple years ago. And made its way back up through Mexico. Yeah, we've which for whatever reason years and years. This was like 2022 2023. We just didn't reopen the or approve the reopening of the the sterilized fly facilities. I think it over the wall. Ain't no wall in Panama. Sailed through the sale to the canal. I don't know what I'm talking about. Well, the answer to your question was like back in the 60s and 70s was like tens of millions of dollars and then believe it or not. The cattle or the population of cattle in the US is smaller now than it was back then because they kind of wrote off a bunch of those like losses to like blatant things. So the expectation was that you'd have you know a thousand had a cattle and 20% of them are going to die. Well, medication got so much better that now if you have a thousand head of cattle, 998 of them are going to survive unless they're infected by this parasite where you cannot sell their meat, Canada shut down live-stock, sort of looking poor. -What was that? -What was that noise? But so yeah it was like 100 minutes since I did the research, I want to say at bare minimum tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of dollars. -It's like 300 million I think, 300 something million. -For these modern, but just back in the late six. -Yeah, no, Chris, so nowadays it would be literally like tens of billions of dollars. -So something we definitely want to take seriously. And it also, you know, as to why it's on my plate, in the beginning at least half of all the confirmed cases in the United States were in my district. -Oh, of course. -All right. -Yeah, what a problem I walk into, but he's getting it solved. -Driving it. -I mean, it wasn't soft last night. -Thank you. -And also, well, something if I could say, I feel like we've monopolized a lot of time in the beginning about something that's not particularly interesting for those people, but I find it fascinating. -I find that interesting because I just learned something. -I find it fascinating. -We learned that a worm is a fly. -Well, because it's the larva. So the larva is what? Is it the name of this? -Your larva. -Yeah, for real. They're like the only fly species where the maggots that they're exactly like bop lies. They attack live flesh instead. -Oh, just something. -Fucking disgusting. Google screw worm infection. -Oh, there goes mice or just there. -And it's not just cows. It can be any sort of like exotics, like deer. It can be like dogs, things like that. -Is it an acid-fit effect on any other than the cow? -It's made of meat. -So it can mess up a lot of different things. -Oh, yeah. -I better go get tested. -It wouldn't be better, dude. -I didn't have to cut on my hand the other days to get vicious. -It could, but just one other thing I think is super interesting is how they solve the problem. This is kind of during the, you know, just at fresh out of the atomic age, I guess. Somebody just wondered like, okay, what if we shot up a bunch of those flies? Like, what if we bred the flies and shot them up with radiation and sterilize them? So we use radiation to sterilize the male flies and then just release those back into, you know, to the tune of millions and millions of flies. -Nagasaki flies. -Straight up. Like, we just, we would drop like canisters of flies into infected areas and it would just slowly make the flies sterile. And so just kill them by not allowing them to reproduce. -That's one way to do it. -Dang, it's crazy. -Yeah, I find that shit. -Super fascinating. -It's wild. -Okay, I learned something. -The same thing Bill Gates is trying to do. -Yeah. -I'm kidding. That's a joke. -That's a joke. That's a joke. Or is it. -Brandon Herrera. -Bates. Bill Gates. -Did he go seeing Rusty Cage's thing about the tics? -Dude. -Oh my god. -You know, you shot out to Rusty first. I'll put him like right here. -Yeah, he's been a friend of ours for probably a decade now. He makes really good YouTube videos and he's, he's dabbled in a bunch of stuff. Remember, he made a guillotine a couple of years ago and that was this big thing. -He was that ranged day? -With Hunter? -He was with Hunter. -Yeah, yeah, he was with Hunter. -But he is the newest thing. He's taken a long start to it and he's trying to kill it. But, you know, not like smash it with a hammer. He's trying to see what it can stay. -Oh, then what was he even trying? -So he's putting it in the freezer for like three weeks. -Oh, yeah. -He's trying to hang it for a week. -He's doing things the hard way. -Crazy shit. -And they're just surviving. -Yeah, they just fucking can't kill it. -Hey, like, it looks like it dies, where it just doesn't move for days. And then he does something like. -He plays with Rusty on it. -When he did the boombox, like, he just had a really loud dubstep playing. -The big thing had to move the days and it starts moving again. -The big one you see from, you know? -Yeah. -I'm glad you see it. And how. -Player. -The amount of detail and how he's filming it is so good. -That's wild. -Yeah, he's knowing it. -Now he has a radioactive plate, though. -Yeah, he's trying to kill it with radiation now. -I'm just gonna put it in a fucking microwave. -He's got a plate right now that's a very irradiated plate for some reason because it's made of something. -It's from Chernobyl. -Yeah, it's a whole plate that had that paint or something on it. -No, it was that passed through. They're kind of like see through green. But they put out. it's rock, rink, rockens. What's the measurement for? -You're talking about, like, rockens. -Yeah, rockens. -So, you use. -Rotigan, Rotigan, something like that. Usually you're like at a five, and this plate, and he's showing, he's like a regular plate, will emit about five. Nothing, like, period. And then when he goes over that plate, it's like, like, 400 runs. -Like, with a Geiger counter? -Yeah. -Oh, it's, yeah, like, he's like, "We're just gonna see this kill." -He's trying to get the ghost busters thing going over the top. -How long they've been dead for a month, two months? -Yeah, he had it in the freezer for like two or three weeks. -That one survived? -Yeah, and it survived. -It's the same with a dude. -He would blow on it, and he's like, you know, they're. -Yeah, and he just starts moving up. -This is just a much more complicated way of, like, frying an ant with a magniflame, magnifying glass. -Dude, but the content he's getting out of it was fucking great. -A lot of his videos is getting, at least on Instagram, we're getting, like, 700,000 likes, and a million likes. -Like, what's the deal with these techs? -Just the ones that give you that disease where you can't eat meat. -He got bit by a loan start tick when he got home from a camping or something. Got home pounded and he's like, "This motherfucker drank my blood." -Okay. -And then started experimenting on it. -I mean, honestly, fair. -Yeah. -And now everyone's like, he started it. -It's still, oh, huh. -Wow, okay, it's still alive to this day, and he is beating the shit out of that thing under them physically. -What's their actual lifespan? How do you know if it's just old? -Yeah. -I don't know. It makes for good content. -Didn't Evan Hafer come down with that? -Yeah, I think Evan got bit by a loan start tick, and he got sick for a while. Couldn't eat meat, which sucks, because he's one of the biggest hunters that we know. -What's it called? It's um. -I don't know what it is. Yeah, you get lime disease. -It's something else in that. -No, you get lime disease, and I think the trade-off is the red meat can be part of the. -Isn't it? -Hey, what's up? I'm showing him noble suitcases, because. -I'm intrigued. -I bought one before they were a sponsor, and then two weeks later, they're like, "Do you want to work together?" I was like, "Glue." -Yep. -So this is one of those where like you used it beforehand? -Yep. -So not even joking when we were traveling in Virginia the other day. I was like, "Oh, was that like one of the sponsor suitcases?" And then you showed me all the features. I'm like, "Oh, actually, okay. I think I get it." -Oh, you can use your fire. This can carry firearms, too. You can just check it in with it. -Is it like TSA approved? -Yeah, it literally TSA. Yeah, they're all coming to the. -Oh, yeah. -Oh, so you could just throw a fucking gun in that? -Passor! -It already has the TSA locks with it, so the TSA can check it really quick with their same key for both locks. -Yep. -So in that case, it's compliant. If you want to bring a uh. surprise mouse coutul that will help you later. -Everyone loves surprise mouse coutools. -The robbers don't. -Oh. -They have an open container compartment. -Oh. -Wow, I bet you could put a laptop in there. -How would you know? -I don't read Egyptian. -I had a bag that I used to use. I don't do that anymore because this replaced everything for travel. -I used to travel exclusively with a Kroger grocery bag. -The holes were getting large. -He never replaced the bag. -But don't take our word on it. 500,000 suitcases sold. And the highest rated luggage brand in the category on trust pilot. -But you know the only thing better than buying one of these? -What's that, Brandon? -Bying one at 46% off.

So that's nobletravel.com for up to 46% off your entire order. After you order, they're going to ask you how you heard about them. Tell them unsubsensit their regards. -Okay, so Lone Star Tick Bites can transmit a sugar molecule called alpha gal into the body. Treguring alpha gal syndrome, a severe allergy to red meat like beef, pork, and lamb. Symptoms typically emerge two to six hours after eating and can include hives, gastrointestinal distress, and life threatening. -You're being teased out here in Texas deal with a whole bunch of different. -Do this simple fact, you can just be allergic to red meat after a bite. -That sucks. -Suck. -Yeah. -No. -What's the, there's a disease that gives you that hydrophobia, right? Where you can't even drink water in the rabies. -Rabies? -Rabies? -That's nuts. -When you're actually terrified of water and you're crazy. -Yeah. -That's the one I'm like, "Well, like 99% mortality rabies and people." -Yeah, if you're too late, it's not true. -Yeah. -And you go crazy during that process. That's why I didn't realize it was a fear of water on top of not wanting to drink it because you'll want to vomit or throw up the second. -It's crazy. -It gets near you because they've done studies on that. -You have to let it go for a while, though. -Yeah. -Like it shows itself long before it gets to that point. -But once it shows it's health, there's no cure. -Yeah, it's crazy. -I'm still? -Oh, yeah, rabies. They're still like, "I thought you had to let it go to like a crazy extent." -Yeah. -Once, once. -Hey, it's right. -It's pretty much once. It starts showing its first symptoms. -Yeah. -Yeah. -It's hard to unfuck that. -Yeah. -It's just, if you get quit by an animal, even if you suspect it in like, have rabies, you have to get the vaccine, like in a state. -Then, how long is that vaccine good for? -It doesn't, it's every bite. -Oh, really? -Yeah. -There is no. -It's not like, tap this for a couple of seconds. -Oh, shit. -Yeah. -Yeah. -It's rude. they put the engine in. The fight is my buddy. Oh God. That's not a god. I already got bit their wants. Oh, no, no, imagine you get Bid you get big. Oh, that's what I thought you were insinuating 99.9% chance of death. Yeah, it's my video. I think it's in one guy. Yeah, he can't drink. Yeah, yeah, that's what I was referring to. He just pulls it up and Oh, he puts the water away. It's crazy. They put the the vaccine into the source of the bite. So when we're in high school, one of my buddies was trying to save a raccoon from a storm drain like it's like a dumbass. So he went and grabbed it like it was a cute little cat or whatever, like into the armpits. Plot twist, not keep out. In the second, it like hit the ground. They had that moment and he thought it was a Disney movie where it's like I saved you. Thank you, sir. And he was like, he sets it down and it immediately went his finger. So we had to take him to like a instant care place and they put his finger in a brace because it bit him on the tip of his pointer finger put it in a place. And they went down into the tip of his finger. Oh, fuck that. They injected it into his elbow from his finger. Basically, Jesus. So it sounds like we got to inject this in the elbow. Why are you starting my finger? We can go any other path on this. Well, I feel like that's a beautiful segue to talk into a little bit of your day job. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, absolutely. I give people needles in their index finger for a living. Well, you have multiple, which is again, wow. Yeah, I'm all over the place. Multiple fingers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, ten of them still. Why? Because I didn't hustle his hair. Yeah. No, I'm an EMT. I'm a volunteer EMT. I'm a per DM EMT and 911 dispatcher. I just I couldn't really decide. So I hit the job market early and just took over all of them. That's what that point. But yeah, I mean, I've never quite dealt with something like that. But sure, I mean, I definitely do run into a bunch of different circumstances that I've got to be taken care of. Yeah, I'm an EMT for a volunteer agency. When I started, I just I still volunteer with them. So I just feel like it's the right thing to do. A per DM department, a couple of towns away from that decided to pick me up. So I still ride on the ambulance, per DM and volunteer. And my general, my actual career is I'm a 911 dispatcher for a police department, a couple of towns away from there. So I'm all in this one general bubble. And that's what I do. You've never had to deal with rabies. I have not dealt with rabies. I think it's because you like do you mind if we say what state? No, of course not. Okay, just in Jersey. I feel like I feel like the the ambient radiation of that state. Yeah, just kills all the 100%. Just wait. That same that same nuclear radiation that they use for the flies. If you can just go and drop it right there, that means it's great. I can't take it. I mean, listen, you guys saw it firsthand. You guys got the witness Jersey firsthand. How do you want? It's one of my least favorite places in the country. You know, I got a lot of friends there, which is weird. There's a reason I keep coming to Texas. I've got a lot of friends that live in Jersey. And they all for whatever reason, just pretend it doesn't suck. Stop doing that. Give it to the dark side. You know, you know, it is up there. It sucks. You know, you in the city of Työkalut, where you were born in the village of Ketevästi. Alojta Ilmainen kokeilu shopify-piste komsi vustolla. For you became an EMT in 2020 also, right? I did right when I was in school when COVID hit. That's the way to do it. If you're going to get involved in emergency services, the way to do it is two months before pandemic starts. 10 out of 10 recommend. It took me seven months to finish the certification. It should have took me three. At the same time, I was going through this batch school and it was a whole bunch of stuff that was done. I mean, talk about trial by Chinese fire. Literally. When I signed up for EMS, I was telling Eli this. I was dealing with like little Johnny with the skinny or like grandma who decided to take a tumble behind the dresser and ended up all cocked behind there. We got to go lift her up at three o'clock in the morning or like, grandpa who fell down the stairs because he needed to use the downstairs bathroom because he doesn't like the upstairs bathroom like that type of stuff. That's happened. I'm guessing if you have that often. Yeah, that's not something you just pull out as well. Also, the house in reference that I'm talking about had one of those freaking chairs that take you down the stairs, but no, we had to walk. So yeah, take a tumble. Charlie takes a tumble. There's a reason you have that stupid chair. Anyway, I digress. But yeah, and then. So that's what I that's what I signed up for a few else. That was the EMS that I had been training with and training for. And then we went to the pandemic. And once I got out of EMT school, it became from little Johnny with a skin need to 20 patients a night that couldn't breathe, couldn't walk, couldn't talk, couldn't think. They were altered mental. They were unconscious. They were vomiting. I was telling you, like, we were showing up to house in Tyvex suits with respirators and goggles. We looked like, yeah, we looked like we were just straight up going into a nuclear facility. And it was wild. And that we would strip that gown off, change out our filters, go to the next call and just rinse and repeat. We would dispatch a lot of times from the hospital. We wouldn't even make it back to headquarters. Because like, well, I, I recall correctly. You guys were right next to what was essentially ground zero at the time of New York City. Yeah, where I heard things got real fucking real bad. Yeah, they brought out a giant boat that they used three rooms for. That was great. We loved that. But yeah, that we, we ended up having a. Could you explain what you just said a little bit? So New York ended up in Africa. I forgot what they called it, everybody. They, they brought out this giant hospital boat and they docked it in the harbor. Where was that boat called up all of the Navy boat? Yeah, it was a, it was a mercy, the mercy. That's what it was. Yeah, it was literally a boat. There was a facility that was designed to house COVID patients. And they use like four rooms of it. But don't worry, they pulled all the respirators and all this stuff out of a bunch of hospitals. That was great. So, but yeah, we're borrowing this. We're plugging mom. But, but yeah, it was, it was, you have to understand that this was something that was new. This isn't something anybody had ever dealt with before. So they're, they're trying to work with this exploding clock that nobody really understood or knew how to navigate. And in doing so, we're taking on 15, 20 calls. Hospitals are developing protocols that have all these rooms outside. Trailers are showing up or refrigerator trucks are showing up outside. You don't put healthy people in refrigerator trucks. Now, with each station of you or each call, do you have to clean the outfair? Or is it a brand new out? No, we would, we would rip, we would rip the suit suit comes off at super thin. It's like, it's almost like a thin fabric paper. Yeah, paper tops. Mostly probably just because we didn't really know that much back then. Exactly. We were throwing it, it comes up to a hood, it comes to your forehead. But goggles on, you have this big respirator on just the double-sided respirators. And, yeah, we were, and one call after the next, one after the next. And that's, that's how my content started was because I, I went from knowing what I was getting into to being very much out of my element. And it was, it was taken an emotional and, and mental toll on me because I wasn't, I didn't know this is what it could be. And that's why I started making content was because it was a way for me to kind of disassociate from everything and just kind of be stupid for a little bit and try to make myself laugh. And if it made somebody else laugh too, that was awesome. But it was a way for me to be like, you know what, it's, it's not all so bad, it's not all so bad, you know. And that's, that's how we ended up making goofy content. At least I hope it's goofy, you know. Yeah. You're telling me people who actually experience hard things in life resort to dark humor? Not, not, I would never do that. What is? I would never do that. God, you would love my, my dark humor jokes. It's what I'm pretty low, it's just, I'm not gonna get canceled, can't have that. Oh, tell me how I know. But yeah, but yeah, that's, that's what it ended up being. And I was just any, any little stupid thing that would make me laugh, I would make some sort of content about it. And then there was that one phallic video with the stupid gold thing that was just kind of serpentineing up. And I was like, that looks like a bending weiner. We're gonna make some jokes about that. You're actually the only man I know that is. I believe I might be out of sticking shit in people's ass. Well, unfortunately she comes out of it as the problem, whether it comes out or not, I got a great story for you. But last time I was here, I told a story about, about a cap that came off of a swav bottle. And at that time that was the only call like that that I had had you were here for a dollar. It's okay. So a cap, no, I'm just a cap. So you know how, how swav shampoo bottles are kind of cylindrical. And it has a screw on cap. Well, we showed up to a call. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It has had a screw on cap and when we got to the house, it was for abdominal pain. And we showed up to the house and this kid holds hands me a swav shampoo bottle. And it doesn't have a cap on it. And I'm like, well, where's the cap? And he's like, I'm like, what? Oh, oh, oh. Okay, we're gonna fix this. We can get you out of here. Is it popped off? Oh, it popped off. All right. Did you know that soapy stuff? Oh, you know, I didn't ask. We had more presents. He smelled great. He had one particular pressing issue. He had one investigation. Did you make him fart and blow bubbles? No, it was plugged up. He couldn't fart. Because that's shaped in the opposite. Yeah. If you want to retrieve something. Yeah. Yeah. And just remember, anytime you put something in a home, it requires a bigger hole to come out of. Yeah. Food for thought. It's reminding me of like the M&M cylinder thing. Yeah. Not too far off. What do they even say? Or is it just so embarrassing? No, he handed it to me and was just giving me this like doe eyes. And I was just like, what? My god. Oh. First of all. Oh. Yeah. Take it. Oh. It just opened your hands and it dropped. Extra gloves. where's that suit? I love that. He's just like, what is this? Okay, what am I doing with this? Where's the cap at? It's just instant. Yeah, you guys, uh, you guys laugh now. You guys G.I. Joe fans? G.I. Joe fans when you were a kid? I'm a fucking, I'm a fucking ruined G.I. Joe for you in about two minutes. What's the pork chop sandwiches? Brand is like, what is this? That the fuck you guys talking about? This is, this is original internet shit. I mean, I like the action figure therapy. Kind of, some of them over the old G.I. Joe cartoons from like the late 80s. Oh, I see. And it's old. Old internet dude, like new grounds, type stuff. Yeah, it's OG internet. We'll show you afterwards. Yeah, we'll tell you when you're older. You have to, you have to eat all your vegetables first. So, we like G.I. Joe's. So, we like G.I. Joe. So, at that time, that was the only actual instance that I've had of this. Well, if you can imagine a G.I. Joe figure about yay big. Jesus fuck. G.I. Joe figure about yay big ones. And he's going like this. Arm out? Yeah. So, it was actually at a college graduation party. That's somebody's house who was having a bunch of people over at college graduation party. We're not out of the military. This is the first thing I did. So, let me tell you, it wasn't too far off from that. And it was elbow deep and it was thumbs up. So, we couldn't take it out. So, I transported this person on his side. Wait, elbow deep. Like elbow deep. That G.I. Joe figure was elbow deep. So, it was all the way inside him. Thumb in. Just like that. Or just his arm was in him. The arm. The whole arm. So, his arm was about this long. So, it was in about that deep. Oh, because it's got a hook. Thumb's got a hook. G.I. Tracks Joe. You nailed my joke for me, baby. Oh, I'm sorry. No, you crushed it. I'm happy. I said, I'm happy that I'm not the only person with all like that. It was G.I. Tracks Joe. That's exactly what we told him. I like it. But yeah, that's exactly. I had to transport him, no pants on. I had to bring him to the hospital and I had to go in the hospital, tell people what they were about to say. So, there was a party going on in this unfolded somehow. And here's the plot twist. The guy who had this had this happen to him. It wasn't his G.I. Joe, it wasn't his house. Yeah. What makes you go into some stranger's house and shove their things up your ass, you know? I just don't have a good guy. I wanted to be crazy. Yeah, we just graded. Guys just hear me out. We just graduated and fucking Steve has a G.I. Joe figure. You know, this. Yeah. Or we could just shove it in my ass. Or we could just play beer pong. Ready? No. No. The G.I. Joe dude comes like the idea. It's going to be hilarious. It's going to be great. And listen, nobody's going to ever talk about it on the internet. And he said it was not his house. It's in like it was a body's house. It was a body's house. Okay. Body's house. He was going to say it wasn't breaking and entering and entering. It was breaking. It was breaking news, breaking and entering. Yeah. Talk about it. Talk about a B.N.A. That's it. Did they give the action figure back? I know. Just remember hospitals. Hospitals do not have a lost and found box with they do have an ass box. All right. What? Yeah. Hospitals don't have a lost and found box. They have an ass box. Do they really have an ass box? That's great. Go to your local hospital. I don't think I will. I think you should. I don't. I'm doing. I'll take it. I'm afraid. Her error. Excuse me. This is for professional reasons only. I'll let them know you're coming. We're seeing we're seeing the ass. Show the B.M.C. You walking in.

I'm running for office. Where's your app box? You didn't inspect the ask box. Ask box inspector. Wow that sounds weird. Welcome to my life. That's how you get pepper sprayed at the front desk. I'm still is it? It's had a party. There's like 30 people there. Oh did they all know what was going on? They figured it out. Yeah when you see your buddy get carted away with the G.I. Joe's sticking out of his ass. What's actually good is we got called to we didn't get called to exactly that we got called to somebody with with lower body trauma right and much like that G.I. Joe we had to make entry to the back door too. That's how he is walking out like hey Brandon can you go to the police? Why? I borrowed one of your action figures. Actually don't know that to be fair actually don't know that half of the story so I mean that very well could be what happened. We kind of moseyed in and moseyed out but imagine being one of the guys that's still at the party after that he was like where's where's Jacob? I haven't seen it since he showed up that thing I was at. I hope the guy was mad that he's been speaking. He told me he was going to my youth room for when I was a kid. I don't know why but I'll be so pissed. Welcome to real life and now you know the rest of the story. I'm like why? That's that's the slipped and fell on a looped up G.I. Joe. I never said it was looped up. I like I fell. Our trip guys. One of the advertising strategies for G.I. Joe back to the day was the shape of his hand. The G.I. Joe come to grip. Oh wait grips all right. It slips as it grips. Much like alpha-gal syndrome also causes gastrointestinal distress. Please consult your physician. With the chick that makes you shove G.I. Joe something right? He got that. It wasn't a fault. What makes the fucking thing? I'm allergic to meat. What am I supposed to do? Fucking Bill Gaines? He's tried the worst lie ever. Can you believe the globalist made me shove a G.I. Joe political climate right now makes me do the craziest things. Such such as life. Don't do that by the way. Please don't do that. Now I actually so you handle one side of with dispatching and then Cody on the other side. Did you only work with like one dispatcher when you were doing or is that multiple I would be a team of people so you get a different dispatcher like every time you're right. I am so low. I'm so low in the box and by myself. Handle police fire EMS. If I need to land a helicopter on somebody to provide that's that's all on us. We're a smaller community. You're talking about like dispatching or okay? Yeah so everything everything comes through us. It's not a county dispatch. It's a local police department and in doing that we are alone 12 hours. So if anybody lives in that county you could do the funniest thing ever. Well I mean like as a local local guy but if I if I need to coordinate with county if I need to coordinate with like office of emergency management or things like that that all gets done through us and if I really need somebody to jump in with me they'll they'll tag in but if I'm sending all of my guys on a job it's it's gonna be me. What you need to do for the background of your videos from now on is you need to go on eBay find that exact same G.I. Joe figure and just have it out. I can I can I can find it. I bet you I can find it. I guarantee you haven't forgotten what it looked like. 100% on that it's etched into my brain for all eternity. The way it was smiling at me. Woody no. On the bottom it just says Andy you've got a friend in me. Oh god. Oh no if it was a wood I finally got on her. There you go. Do you have a shitting grin? You have to have to wipe that lift, sweat that top lip. Andy Lee wanted him out of the room. Woody looking back in fear. - He actually asked if he should walk out. I'm like, bro, it kind of insists you don't do that. Please don't do that, 'cause you don't have any stomach. - Yeah, he had his pants around his ankle. I'm like, bro, we're not doing this. Let's just get the fuck out of here. Let's just get a cross. I don't wanna be a part of this anymore. I wanna go home. - No, so when you were doing, or a guest motor, this is a Cody question. And you, it is when you're getting new dispatchers, do you have ones that are just not cut out for the job, and then that's what I wanna know from your side when you get those, is like, what the fuck is going on? Or, yeah, well, there's bad people in every profession. And it's not always 'cause they're new, it's 'cause they just fucking suck. Or like they wanna talk on the radio over you, or they wanna interrupt you while you're at a foot chase, or just little things like that that he probably doesn't do at all. - That's really funny how you went out of the way to not give them the benefit of the doubt. It's like, no, no, no, you think it's because they're new, but sometimes they're just terrible. - They are terrible, right? I mean, that's 100% true. Like, I'll sit in there and I'll train somebody, and I'm like, this is not gonna, this isn't gonna happen. It's not gonna happen. And it's true, just like you said, people who don't have a radio boys, people who don't have a radio demeanor, who just want a gibber jabber on the radio, who wanna give 50 words, when 20 words will do, or 10 words will do, it's a lot. And like you said, he's been involved in things like chases and stuff like that. Shut the hell up, hold the air, let me do work. I'll figure it out later. But there's also cops that do the same fucking thing. So, it wasn't really stole on the radio, no one can key up, and talk to some of the assholes talking on it. - You can't key when, no. - Yeah, it's one voice. - So no one talks over each other. - Yeah, I can step on you, but it's not gonna do much. - I feel like if I get shot, no one knows where I am. - I feel like they should be able to have a bypass button. There's the button you push, and then there's the red button next to it. - Shut the fuck up button. - If it's like, hey, I've just been shot. - I mean, we have a button, like an emergency button, that just wide opens the radio. - Yeah. - That's it. - I don't push the other button. - I figure that tone on cop shows sometimes, and it's not like wake up instantly. - I'll walk through wherever the food store is something, and I'll hear a tone that just catches that right note, and it's like, oh, it's fine, it's fine, I'm working. - That's it. - Yeah, that's the one I'd be like, what the hell? - It's scary, because at the end of the day, it's our responsibility to keep these guys safe. You know, where our job is to make sure that our guys are coming home, so we're trying to get them all the resources that they need, and if y'all don't shut the fuck up, I can get my guys what they need, yeah? That stuff, it's a tough place to be sometimes. - Well, that's where I'm wondering, because that seems very stressful, because you are taking that first round of information and then passing it off to the guys on the ground, and you have to be like, hey, is this a dangerous area? Hey, what is going on, how many people? You're trying to give them a battle plan in two minutes. - Yeah, we are a facilitator of information, so whatever I'm getting, they have to get, and the idea is, if I don't have all this information, I'm gonna send them, I'm gonna get them moving in the right direction while I'm gathering information, and I'm just gonna update them on the way, so that I'm not holding all fun information, I'm not holding off on our response time. By the time they get there, if they don't have all the information, that's dangerous. This could be a guy with a gun situation, this could be a full-blown hostage situation, who knows? But if I have Joe Mike and Steve show up at a house, and I'm like, yeah, this lady is saying, she hears some noise downstairs, and that noise, five minutes later, she tells me, oh, it's three guys kicking through my door, they need this information, that's dangerous stuff. It's easy from my perch in my air conditioned office with my 50 inch TV, you know, I can do that in and out, but you gotta keep these guys safe. They'll give their fragile little legs, you know, you gotta take care of these guys, you know? If they need to get help sometimes, pat the head, it's nice. - You're said, one lady got fired, not too long ago, I think it was last year, do you ever see that? - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. - Especially get fired, she walks in, I'm working. Doesn't sound like she's on the work. - Well, people were calling 911, she was picking up, she was like, yeah, I don't feel like talking to you and she ended up doing it like dozens of times. - Wait, what? - Yeah, yeah. - Someone finally got killed because of it, who called for help, and so she finally got arrested. - How did that take any period of time to not fire them? - She was just, she said, I just didn't feel like talking to them. - I don't feel like talking to them, yeah. - By the way, can't do that. - Yeah, on an update, you can't do that. - That was, oh my God. - That was also, I feel like I'm being told, if I call 911, I was like, hello, there's the, yeah, I'm good. - Click, maybe I die on the wrong number. - That was not good. - Maybe I die on something wrong? - It is 911, right? (laughing) - It's crazy. - You call back, I said, I'm not talking. (laughing) - I'm like calling, what am I calling? - Google. - I'm online. - So I thought I was calling 911, turns out I was calling freaking Starbucks, they don't want to talk to me. What's going on here? - Dude. - Yeah, she got fired, she got, one of the cops walked right up to her, and she's like, I'm working, he's like, well, no, not, it's time to go. - Yeah, it was nuts. - Yeah, there's a body camera then finally getting here. I think she ended up only catching like one charge or something, like one that actually stuck. - Which, considering you let someone fucking die. - Yeah. - You said that she, like somebody died because she didn't answer the phone. I can't remember if it was an elderly person or like a baby that was, she was choking also. It was something really fucked up, and she just didn't send help. She's like, I'm like, I'm going to go to the rules. - I know, that's what I'm sure. It doesn't, it hits her phone. - Oh, well, she answered. (laughing) So it wasn't a great combo afterwards. - I'm not very talking about it. - She wasn't really, she wasn't really her thing. - I wasn't a people person. - That's one of those things that drives me fucking crazy about jobs like that, not necessarily jobs as dire, but even if something as simple as like, oh well, I work in a hotel lobby. If you fucking hate people, there's lots of jobs that don't require you to talk to people. - Oh yeah. - You don't have to choose that one. - You know, I get the insurance, it's good. I get it. That's it, I get it. - Especially something that's not like a death. - No, that's yours. - Thousands of calls, she did this. - Yes, I didn't realize it was thousands, but yeah, sure. - Yeah, each one is thousands, thousands. - Yeah. - What was the death? - That's what I'm trying to-- - I shove the GI job, is it? - Is it just that? (all laughing) - No one will help me. - She was like, (all laughing) - Christian, can't say that brand, can't say that brand. - Oh, it sounds better. - Oh no, that's 100%. - That's fine, that's, that's fine. - That was in Houston? - It wasn't Houston. - Yeah. - Did I not mention that? It wasn't Houston. - Get the fuck out. I need to see if she actually died, 'cause what pisses me off the most, it was a misdemeanor. - Yeah, she didn't go to jail at all. - She did 10 days in jail, sorry, 10 days. - No, but I mean, that's insane if someone died. - Punishment fits the crime. - If someone died because of that, and you get 10 days, that is fucked. - Well, I'm looking up this, Cody, uh. - I get bit by a fucking thing, by a fucking tick, I can't eat meat, but this girl gets 10 days. - It's bullshit. - It's bullshit. (all laughing) - The officer shooting, they're not shooting. - Well, I guess I was the shooting. You just showed us the video the other day, and I was like, oh, we gotta talk about this. The lady that has a great mug shot right after. - The lady in the parking lot. - Oh, the one that got punched. - Right in the fucking jaw. Have you seen that one? - No. (all laughing) - Tell the story, 'cause this is. - It was some type of, I don't know, what ended up in the fight, the video's just hilarious. You see it from the cops, POVs on top of this, this big fat black lady, and you hear a gunshot. - The cop is on top? - Yeah, the cop's on top. He's straddling. - It's romantic. - And you hear a shot go off, and then you see him grab his radio and go shots fire, shots fire, and rear back, and just punch your square in the eye. (all laughing) And you look at the other cop's body cam. - It's just a backflip. - Who's watching this cop, and she reaches back, and I guess maybe he had just put in his gun up, it wasn't fully in the holster or something, because she's able to pull the trigger. And so he gets her hand back, and she's still trying to rabbit it, he just fucking. - Just sends it. - Just sends it right into her eye. - Couldn't have happened to a nice shot. - So the woman on the ground, happy gun. - Yeah, she would break a shot and go back and manipulated his holster and fired a shot from it. - Oh, I see. - Oh, she. - Shot came from his gun. - For his gun, like it didn't hit anything. - I was misunderstanding for a second. - Yeah, so was the cop's gun, she'd reached back, fired the cop's gun and holster. - Yeah, and so he just, blah, he doesn't. - How the fuck is he able to, how are you able to fire the weapon from the holster? - We had that discussion yesterday. - We were thinking, it was probably, hey. - Like hoods, the hoods down, and like it's already depressing, it's on its way out. - Well, we were thinking, 'cause she was fighting even on the ground, she's like trying to argue a fight. So maybe they drew it, and then when he went to tackle, or they took her down, he put it in, but it seated all the way. - Yeah, so looking for it. - Yeah. - And just really quick, well, he looks for that. She was charged, one of the incidents that she was charged with, and involved a convenient store robbery. Witness called 911 to report the robbery. Williams disconnected the call immediately. Witness called back, she hung up against. - By the third call, then it went through to a different offer. to get a hold of the police. - Sounds like it was an inconvenience door to me. - It's so stupid. - And there. - Welcome to the bug end. - So it was thousands of calls within two years. - Oh, I mean extrapolate that out. That's basically nothing. That's only like one potentially life or death situation. - It's like three times a day, you're just. - I get it. - It's fine. - It's fine. They teach you that in dispatch school. Yeah, they're like, if you don't listen, if you don't really want to talk to them, just hang up. They don't teach you that, by the way. I don't know. - Jesus. - 10 days for that. - Cody will find this. - I mean, that's that. - Sorry. - No, go go go. - That's that one. And this gets taken out of context quite a lot, but the Supreme Court ruling where it's like the, was it please have no duty to protect your life. I forget the exact ruling on it. - They're not required to like, you know, run into a firefight to pull you out of it. That type of stuff. - Right. And then like the actual details of that case get like, by the anti-cop crowd, it gets taken out of context quite a lot, but like that's one of those scenarios where I think this might apply, which is why like she's not being, I guess held liable to the extent I think maybe she should be. - You ever heard of rich? They make wallets and power banks. Connor, show the wallet. - This is my real rich wallet. You're not holding anything up. Oh, 'cause it's camouflage. Keep all of them. (laughs) - Their sweepstakes is back this year and bigger than ever. - What's the sweepstakes? - Two lucky winners can choose between the Lamborghini Huracan, a sooped up Ford Bronco. - Ford Hennessey Velocere after. - Or $100,000 cash. - The best part you can enter completely free at Ridge.com. - And if you want to boost your chances, you can pick up a ridge during the sweepstakes. - When's the sweepstakes running, Cody? - Sweepstakes will be running from July 24th to September 8th. - Whether it's a power bank, a wallet, or something else you've had your eyes on.

There's a whole bunch of stuff that I could just rattle off that was. Just being a shipper. I'm like, "Let me just go with shipper." - God. - Fuckin' insane. - Any luck? - No, I can't find it now. - He made it up. - He made it up. - It is both, both perceptives, but watch his face. Just cost better, send it. - I want to find it from his point of view for shop. Okay, of course it's fucking shoplifting. She ends up trying to fight people over shoplifting. - Holy shoplifting. - I know. - She tries to end up, trying to grab an officer's gun over shoplifting. - Oh. - I know. - Okay, you're gonna have me, I don't know what to hear. - I mean. - The weapon is charged while it was dangerous. - Let go of that. Let go of my gun. - Oh? - Oh, she knows she fucked up. - She fucked up. - Oh my God. - Good, good. - Good. - Dude, this way. - Oh my God. - Now in this perspective, the delay? - Where's the, I want to see what kind of gun? - Boom. - They have taken the time to call it out. - Oh, see that's that's probably why he's in trouble. - He thought about it was like, you know what, fuck it. - Fuck it, we balled. - He did this and then thought about it for a second and then-- - That was a decision. - Choices. - Choices made. - I just love how like everybody in the tussle stops for a minute after the gun goes off, everybody just goes, - Show the mug shot. - Oh. - Oh no. - This is some crazy shit. - Oh no. Oh no, that's a bad day. I got a bad day. - She had a bad day. - A bad day. - Maybe don't steal and try to fist fight a cop, grab his gun. - You know, in hindsight, I could see why that'd be an issue. You know, you know what, knowing's half the battle. - G.I. Joe, brought it back then. - Hey, you know G.I. Joe Braden. - G.I. Joe. - Knowing's half the battle. The other part is-- - It could be worse. It could have been the more you know, Star. - Do that one is one of those vows. Oh, you got to go to just film a whole bunch of stuff with guns and stuff. - Oh yeah, up and down. - Up and drive tanks. It's going to be coming out tomorrow, not it. At the time of recording, it's going to already be out, but got the G36K. - Like a real? - Oh yeah, no, I've got a real HKG36K. I've got a Tommy built G36C. But an HK factory full-auto G36K. - HKs are 16 inches or 10 inches. - It's longer than the C. I don't remember. I think it's 16, but I'm not sure. - I still love one of my favorite firearms. They're super-- I haven't shot one in a long time, but I always thought they were fantastic firearms. Like super comfortable. - HKG General just makes amazing guns. - Yeah, there's not, maybe a missing one. I don't think there's anything from HK I hate. Like there's nothing from HK that I can think about the top of my head that I'm just like, man, that sucks. - Yeah. - It's usually good stuff. It goes anywhere from mediocre to God tier. - It's a little expensive at times. - Yeah, for sure. - Yeah. But no, the G36 is fucking cool. And then we did some slow-mo with the G3 and the MGA815. I can't wait to make that video. - MGA815. - MGA815 is like the Maxim gun. - Fenn or Chase or Darnel, pull that shit up. - It's like a Maxim gun, but they basically Germany retrofitted it to make it like an assaulting weapon. - Gotcha. - So it's like an original belt fed. We got a lot of use in World War One. - Is it a machine gun? - Yeah. - Yeah, it's like a belt fed machine gun. - Oh, that one at your office with the little two. - That one? - No, that's an MGA15. - Okay, MGA815. - MGA815. - MGA815. - MGA815. - MGA815. - There we go. There we go. - That, what the fuck? - That's crazy looking. - So it's basically a Maxim that was built into a light machine gun. One of the very first cases of such. So it's designed from like the 1880s that got retrofitted into becoming the precursor to things like the 240 Bravo. - Hi, man. - This is what your fourth or fifth gun that you own it? - Yeah. - One of them. - Yeah. - What's this? - Fits in your four gun safe. - So that thing on the side, you don't crank it. So that's like a lever that just slides back and forth. So that's what you used to charge the gun. And it reciprocates while it's fired. Which is really cool. - Oh, that's dope. - We got that in slow-mo too. So we got that. The AC556, which is the gun that we're doing for the giveaway for the campaign. So the machine gun that we're doing for the campaign giveaway. So we did a full video on that. And the cool part about that gun is the 18 gun with a little mini-14. - Nice. - But it was also the gun that was used in the Gary Faden shooting. Which was the legal self-defense shooting. I just did a video on it. - Oh, the only retune. - The only one I know of, I'm being told that, I'm being told that there might be more. This is the only one I know of where a legal transferable machine gun was used in a justified self-defense shooting. - Sick. That's crazy. - So this guy smoked a biker. Two bikers were chasing him and like firing guns at him and shit. - What the fuck? - Is it the Wild West? - It was like a 17 mile chase for Virginia. But it turns out that actually that shooting did take place on the HK headquarters 'cause he worked for HK. That's why he had the gun, I think. But yeah. - And they chased them 17 miles? - Yeah. - It was something like that. It was a long chase and like when the cops finally got to him, they were like, oh, well, you know, they tried to play it all like, oh well, I can't believe this guy shot at us. And then or shot my buddy. And then they looked through the car that was giving chase. The guy was running stoplights trying to get away. - Just freaking casings everywhere. - Casings and they had a 357 Magnum revolver that had three fired shells in the cylinder. Like still smoking. It was in a bag of ammunition like on the seat with a 22 pistol, I think it was. It was very obvious that they were chasing him and shooting at him. - The mortar rounds and shit in the gun. - Did the scariest part with that or anything? You'd be like, fuck, can I have my gun back? Please, after you clear that it is so-- - They did? Oh, they actually did. - So it's one of my favorite parts of the fucking story. So after this long drawn out like legal battle and everything 'cause if you look at the details of the case, it could not be more clear that this was legal self-defense. - People might not know this. They will take your firearm correct for if any defense shooting, self-defense shooting, blah, blah, blah, they take it every time but very, very likely. Especially if someone's killed. - Yeah. - But yeah, they did confiscate it during the course of the trial and because it was a machine gun it became like very high profile. while obviously the media was all over it, like, "Can you believe this on machine gun?" - I mean, it was a guy in his fiance trying to run away from bikers that were like, well, they were bikers, but they ended up getting like a Chevy truck, I think, and giving chase for like some road rage thing, shooting guns out in the whole time. He ended up pulling out and he's like, "I want to say he's like 6'4, 6'5." Like, he was a big guy. Gets out with this machine gun, like it's, you know, mini-14, full auto, and he tells them basically, "Fuckin' stop right there, please stop or I'll shoot." And they said, "Go fuck yourself, we're gonna kill you." - Imagine dumping rounds at somebody, and then you get out of the car and you have the wearer with all to be like, "Stop or I'll shoot." - But he fired off a burst in the air first. Like, six or nine rounds or something like that? - That would call it a study. - And then leveled it and said, "Stop or I'll fucking shoot." They went after him, he slotted the one guy, was going to start engaging the next guy who tried to hit him with a truck in the meantime. After his buddies just got clapped. - Just guys smoked. - Tried to hit him with a truck and then police showed up. - All right. - So police showed up right before all this? - Right before he could have got shot, this guy. - So then, to your point about the gun being confiscated, they did take the gun through the whole court proceedings. The prosecution was just fucking dog shit. Like, they just, they fucked the whole case up, which, you know, thank God. Gary, I think had a really good attorney. Gary Faden, the guy who was the, you know, machine gun owner. After he was declared innocent, they gave the gun back eventually. And so there was apparently a friend of his who stood by him through the whole trial. Like, even through all the media bullshit, all the legal shit being thrown his way, stood by his body the entire time. When Gary got the gun back, he gave it to that friend. As a transfer of a machine gun, he gave it to his friend with a brass plaque in the stock that said, "Because you understand." - That's awesome. - What a story. - It's fucking cool. Like, the whole thing's very neat. - Kick ass, gift, by the way, that's cool shit. - Especially since they sell for about 20 grand notice. - And on the, on the dust cover, it said, "You're fucked." - No, that was a different case. That, I don't think he got that gun back. - He got that gun back. - I do, it's still loud in me like to see him shoot. It's like a burst. - And it's still like, oh, I'm going to know, we're gonna kill you. It's like a, peaky blinders. It's like, oh, we're playing with guns. Let's play with real guns. And then he has, I don't even remember what machine gun that was on the, the big boys. - Yeah, Lewis. - That was a, yes, they had like 19, Lewis's or 20, Lewis's. - 'Cause they stole them from like the BSA or something like that. - Yeah, yeah. - And they're like, oh shit, okay. - Those things are fucking fun too. - The Lewis guns? - Allegedly. - Oh no, I have one. - Yeah. - We're doing what, like if you had your, right now, as a brand-in, is, what is one of your dream guns? 'Cause you have a majority. I know you like AKs, all that, but is there anything now where you're like? - Like a gun I don't have. - Yeah, where you're like, man, I could really do, I would love that one that would complete the collection. - Definitely a kill-tech, 100%. - I have plenty of those too. - I have high points, couple high points. - There's two that come to mind, at least off the top of my head. There's all sorts of stuff. Like I'd love to have like a pack for you or something like that, but like Artillery East Coast. - Oh, okay. - The two that come to mind is one mini-gun, just for obvious reasons. I've never been able to make it make financial sense. - Because of mini-gun. - You'll be like 120 grand, starting. And I just, especially with the YouTube rules on full auto, like, and that's without shooting it. - Yeah. - And you could try to make everything like that. - I made a beautiful, from a couple years ago, beautiful, range day video was, a blast got to hang out with all you guys, and then I made this nice video, and immediately, the industry was like, "Absa, fuck it, literally not." What the hell is this, when I come into my life? - Well, it's a lot of fun. - But the other one is the Orlequin. So the Orlequin is a full auto, 20 millimeter open bolt. It was like a naval gun essentially, but it's like 20 millimeter, but it's so fucking cool. Because the way it fed, I think it was like big ass drum magazines essentially. - Nice. - But it is an open bolt. Like, direct. - Really? - Why not? - If you call that, I'm trying to remember, I'm blanking on it now. It's kind of like the stand or the grease gun. - Okay. - Where it's direct blowback, thank you. Sorry. So direct blowback. So it uses the weight of the bolt. There's no lock up. It's actually sketchier than that, though. Editor, pull up. Pull up that picture because it's crazy looking. Maybe I'm struggling. - Yeah, it's a full auto. Yeah, it's an Orlequin 20 millimeter cannon. - What's his dick? - What's his dick? - Oh, okay. - And Pearl Harbor. I'm a junior. - Probably. Could have been that. - I see it. - It's right before he got his leg blown off. - Oh, okay, dude. - Yes. - Yes. - Here's what's scary about those guns. And I've seen this go bad for people in like videos and stories and things. Here's why that's crazy. In order to make it so that they don't need like a 200 pound bolt going forward to be able to contain the back pressure. They've got like a big ass like car axle spraying essentially behind it. But they're, you'd still need a super heavy bolt where else the ground would explode in the chamber. So they have an operating system known as, I think advanced ignition blowback. Any guesses as to what that means? - Advanced ignition blowback. It almost sounds like. - Something that blow's not even close off is what it sounds like. - Yeah, like the pin striking without your control or there is, it's not even in chamber yet. - Correct. That's what it sounds like. - Geez. - So they start setting the round off before it's fully chambered. So they use the blowback of like basically the rearward force to slow the bolt before it's fully seated and then it blows back. - So what's terrifying about this is if you don't know, Brandon, what happens usually if you have a non-closed bolt while you're firing a gun? - It's called an out of battery detonation and they explode, especially when you're talking about a super small caliber like 20 millimeter. - Exactly. Fire and soda cans out somebody. - It's still so cool. - I want one so badly. - I mean, we used them all through World War II. Like they clearly worked. It's just sketchy as shit. - Designing that or having that in mind as a solution is wild to me because I imagine being the pitch meeting. - Dude, exactly. - Okay, listen, hear me out. This is going to work. - Because I've seen one open like a, what was it called when it's out of battery and it peppered the dude's arm that I've seen it happen. And that was on a 22, like a 308 maybe. Now look what happened with Scott, right. That was a 50-cal. All right, now imagine that happening with a 20 mil. - Yeah. - And I think it did happen at one point in like, not tree, like the big machine gun shoot, like a few years ago. Somebody had an out of battery with an orlekin because especially if you're not using like a military ammo, like a lot of people are using reloads, which are usually safe, but sometimes shit happens. - So that would be your orlekin, minigun, there's probably a couple of things I'm not thinking of, but I got some unicorns lately, I can't wait to pull those out. So I like, it's, I finally got my unicorns and now I'm like, okay, have you talked about your newest acquisition? - Which one? - The Famos. - Oh, briefly. - No, yeah, I guess not really too much about it because I got the final MGS collection that I've been waiting for for years and to find the Famos was then very happy. It was a piece of the collection and you got a good deal on it too. - Yeah. - And then serial number 44 and then just being able to say, oh, I got a Famos, but watching everyone's reaction too because gun people that know it, like when we were at Mission Ridge, everyone, like they would be checking out to be like, holy fuck, is that a real Famos? And then the crew started walking up, everyone started looking out to like, what the? - It's the meme, the, it's the super, that's right, we're doing a perfect gene ad. You can tell that they're perfect because of the way they are. - Look at Brandon, he's perfect and the genes complete him because they're perfect. - Actually, I don't think I've actually worn a pair of these, but that is really, really stretchy. - Although I, those are fantastic, that's why I wear those. I've never seen like a band of a gene that stretches that way. - Why don't you hate it when you have to gene, to fit genes that don't you hate it? - When you have to pick genes that fit thighs or waist. - I always have a hard time finding a pair of genes that fits my delicate bird-like legs and my juicy fat ass. - But not with the perfect genes. - Are you constantly having to pull them up or do that awkward, mid-conversation readjustment? I'm constantly read, readjusting my crotch during conversations. - Same. - Now that's all I buy, they're stretchy and really comfy. I'm glad we're sponsored by them because I'm going to get these for free now. - Well, free. - Well, free. The perfect gene. - Oh, and now that I'm reading that, they also have boot cut, so perfect for Texas. Six size fits from skinny to thick thick with two seas. That's what foods my juicy ass. - Hmm. - They go all the way up to four seas and possibly a cue. - If you have a ball, it's perfect. If you have big thighs, perfect, if you have a small waist perfect. A juicy, juicy thick ass like me. - Heartfuleststers get 15% off your first order. - Plus, free shipping.

Whoa, but it's and then we got to shoot it have a good time Pass that like I was just like oh, that was pretty much a WA 2000, but I I mean those are just not to wait to I Meanwhile, I'm over here like hey man. We just passed the third circuit just Had a case where we very well might not have to only have 10 round mags. This is awesome You guys are like I just got a howitzer The third circuit did just shoot down your assault weapons. Yeah, man. I'm I'm Loving this I might have to go out to the lake and you know find some some stuff under water day I love I love the the thought that you didn't just lose it in a boating accident You actually have like crab traps that are under water full of all your shit to pull up Marking it so all of a sudden the entire state any jerseys by and scuba gear It was awesome seeing who was at the measure was it Josh With your team was exact exact just level of autism is what I love to see on Gun builders. That's what you want with a gun builder. Sorry like a thousand percent Thousand percent. I'd rather well cuz we were see that we were recreating our own from us receivers Just to like just to try to rebuild the one that the one kit that we had or like one of the couple kids that we had And so we're like running the CNC trying to figure this out and we had one that worked and it worked pretty well because we had Stubbed so we have all the measurements on it, but like they're torched cut aluminum So it's like some of the cuts in between like you're kind of guesstimating how wide that gap would be and The famos was having a few issues because it was too long like the gap in the magwell was just like a few foul too long and So Zach then corrected the receiver, but then yours came in And so he's like oh, can I can I take some calipers and double check this? Well, fuck her nailed it nice just nailed it all. He's like the only thing I learned here is that I fucking rock There's awesome to see that game recognize game. There we go. What about you Cody? Gone you got to have like oh Something I won't yeah, I mean we sure custody sometimes of the MP7. So that's and John. That was always yeah It's the two things you trained you handled the MP7 he hand you John two weeks. I don't like that. That sounds weird So both of you say for the record John is my godson This is true. Now the I was gonna say you're gonna get like every once in a while he swings by and just gets congegal visits with the MP7 That's it Just pants. I don't show them in my ass Listen man, you don't you don't know it's you haven't been to that graduation party yet, you know What's the mag sticking out me while I'm over here like my freaking dream guns like a regular stock AR 15 when a collapsible stock is fucking great. I'm a lot of people over here. Yeah, right Jersey Anything with a suppressor and he's just what we have nothing a lot of my friends up in Jersey Couple of the friends that I know were just like oh cool. Thanks. Thanks to the third circuit I don't have to worry about getting arrested with the guns. I never sold He's actually 100% not that it's not possible. We sold them all throw it on all of them mags are gone - or pinned Course outside of that code any other where you're like Oh man, not really. I mean we're friends with brand it so anytime I want to shoot something I just go over to his house and take it off the shelf. I would like to see the baby That's why I swear to God. It's probably why it's the easiest thing of not shooting any of my guns because my I could shoot it But I can put three of them so I can keep it in museum quality where I'm like doing it doesn't get touched I could shoot the from us but Brandon's got 11 of them so why not I shoot from us. You shot the fuck out that from us No, did you really yeah, cuz I mean it already was shot. Oh, I'm only shot mine But that was like with the Reaper receiver and everything like that and that's where we're having like a couple jamming issues I've never shot like a quote unquote real like fully original from us. We'll go take it to the fucking thing and dump some rounds I know terrible. I was asking the gun guys or the the range cadre when we were at mission I was like you want to shoot it. I was actually pulling out the word cadre I'm retarded. I was like, maybe I used the wrong one. No Just you're pulling up one of those words where I think like oh you're using chat GPT on this essay Military you had to call him that but just point they'd be looking like oh you shoot in the like are you sure I'm like, well Yeah, it's fucking gun. Have fun. Okay, immediately don't dump mag. Oh, yeah dump around or two. I'm like yeah Yes, it shoots Chaps kiss chaps kiss and then you use no fuck. Yeah, man I'm not like a nice bar or something cool. You know something fun that I could send down range for a couple of hours Just I can't have them, you know, that's why I listen I Best case scenario as we get a couple laws that kind of favor us in a little bit. I'll start being able to pick up some cool shit But that's a cream court thing like I might help. Yeah, I help we're expecting a ruling by like ideally like fall That'd be great and if if the Supreme Court makes the right decision, which I'm really like I think they will this might be the right court to do Yes, yeah, so I'm super out to double up on watches all they gave it a lot. I've been gaining one watch like every I just sorry that just struck me Yeah, so listen we know you have to tell about it I'm embarrassed to took me this long to notice how are you doing that? That's not easy. I only told you lie about it. It was for the watch guy Yeah, yeah, I know he's watching wait with the fuck that's where there you go the pepper box watch guy I've been trying to throw him off every now and again. Yeah, yeah, so he was trying to do it, so I got fucking watches for days today Just so he has something to look at the Pepsi the G shot. We got the Pepsi a G shot. We got a oyster for petrol Oh no shit, and we got a BB 58 but actually all these watches kind of eat something I mean so when when Avery was born when my little girl was born when I was growing up I mean touch it smell it don't put it in your butt or if you want you know, I'm sorry When I was when I was growing up I knew nothing about watches. We were in a family that that We're able to afford watches like that And growing up the only watch that I knew like when I think the word watch I would think the the Pepsi from Rolex because it's it's just distinctive It's red and blue. It just it has that distinctive look to it and I said to myself once I started learning about watches I'm like one day, you know, what's something cool happens if I'm able to afford it the first watch I'm going to buy it That's substantial is going to be my my Rolex Pepsi turned out to actually be this guy was my oyster That was the first one that I picked up. But when my little girl was born, I I said this is going to be this is going to be the watch that I hand down to her So I'm this so I ended up picking this up and actually the bezel is a set to the time she was born So I was wearing this in a hospital when she was born and I was slowly taking it and taking it and completely not paying attention to staff Okay, she's she's busy. I was just taking this away and finally you know when when our little girl showed up That was it and then the BB 58 So my black bear my black Bay I picked this up when the YouTube hit a hundred K So that was all the watches that I own I feel like they they don't just tell time they market for me And every time I you know every time I look at the watches I can remember something something cool You know, this is when I finally was able to literally afford to buy anything cool And then when Avery was born and then when the YouTube hit and this is actually marked To when the the YouTube hit a hundred K. I don't know if they would just want to be different to boop Because all day yesterday, I was staring at the bezel on your Pepsi and no it didn't drive you crazy So let me tell you I'll tell you if I have the same experience I'm like Because I'm like I have to have it I'll tell you a funny story so when I was I was when when you guys came up to Jersey and the next day Ethan habitual line crosser and I and Stefan and his wife we're all hanging out and having a great time Went to the mall we're just chilling, you know doing what Jersey boys do, you know go to the mall hanging out having ice cream cone and Exactly 100% well, I'm surprised we can stay in that alley freaking. Oh, but anyway, but yeah No, I took my I took my watch off. He's like, oh, this is really nice, you know I actually sent Eli a message. I sent them a tessellia girl You need to fucking talk me down roasted them a picture of his panoray that I really liked I'm like you need to talk me off the ledge man, but Yeah, Ethan. He's like oh, I love this watch The staff stuff was like oh my god. I'm like it doesn't matter. It's just things you know at the end of the day It's just things I'll reset. I always said he's like oh my god. I'm so sorry. I'm like it goes back It's fine. That was a habitual line crosser, right? Yeah, each else either that I just dropped I'm like you don't even go back to the exact same place making sure it was the habitual line crosser that It'd never move to that point, right? You marked it and he's like we're Ethan Tissues I love that And like none of these are like none of these are like brandy new like I got these off of like watch finder You know, I'm not I'm not sitting in a in a Rolex boutique where I'm gonna Yeah, you can't even get him there. Yeah, it's true. Like you know, you know, you go in you put your name down I like I don't I don't have Rolex patients, you know, which is wild Do have any brick-and-mortar when the brick-and-mortar cannot get used to purchase said watch? It's wild They make you feel stupid too. They're like oh, you want to spend 30 grand with me? Who the fuck do you think you are? Yeah, oh first off get out of our store. Of course. We don't carry watches. What purpose? What kind of store carries watches? It's like going to HB and you can't buy food You also have to wait for it to get delivered. Yeah, and you also don't ever know when it's gonna be delivered They don't give you a day. They're like, if it's available one day, you might. - I get it. Well, when's their time frame? Could be a year, could be next week. And it's like, oh, fuck, okay. Here's my 40 grand, I guess. - Do my best. - I'm so pissed that I just seen one of the Ferrari's when it came out, it was 22. I showed everyone pictures, this is the SP3S, like this weird 70s style, the mom-backed, beautiful. But I was like, oh man, they're going for, oh, 1.5 million, I still, I was like, I guarantee that one's going to shoot up in price. Two years. - In two years, 1.5 million. Guess how much it just sold for? - 7.6. - 10.5 million. - I was going to say, I was going to say, I was going to be like 25 million. - I was like, oh, also, with these, one little cool thing is that, the invisible light in the glass. - Fun fact, so if you look, so. - That's the only thing you can see on this one. You know about that. So with it, we'll see if you can punch in, you're going to have, it looks like clear glass, you can actually come close, because the camera's going to say it. - So. - Is it at the laser-etched crown? - Nothing. - Right down there, there's a laser-etched crown. Right by my finger. You have to adjust the light for your own. It's like literally like it's, yeah, like. - Isn't that like one of the checks for like a fake? - Yeah, for sure. - So fun fact about some of these watches though, so this particular one, so this is a, this is a KC real. Is that, is that a real KC real? - Yeah, you want to try it? - I'm going to door the Explorer, it's a limited edition. - Whoa. - That has been run for like seven years. - It's marked the, the birth of my first child, as well. - It's a beautiful watch. - I hate that my Cassios, the only watch I can go to my house right now that is still perfectly on time. - And I have that watch. - Do you have one of those like rotating things, like the watch, the G-safes or whatever? - Yeah, I do. - Yeah, I do, does it work for you? - Still with a watch unless you have, and again, this is like the, if you have a Torbillon, it might shift throughout the year like 10 seconds, but all watches have a varying degree of like up to a minute or two minutes per month. - Like this one's M-toss certified, so this one, I think this one's like 20 though. - Less forever, and hyper accurate. Funny about this one, so this is a case series. This one was actually, this I think was made in like 2001 to 2005, this doesn't have that edge. This is pre-etch. - I love watches. - Cody got me in this Tism soon. - I don't blame him. So there was, I was in a business meeting the other day with a guy who just like casually is wearing, I think was, I was an IWC Torbillon. And I looked it up, just at a curiosity. I'm like, first of all, like immediately recognized as a Torbillon, I'm like, casually Google it. I'm like, that's a quarter million dollar watch. - Easily. - Good God, brother. I've never asked another man, like, can I see that watch? But for fuck's sake, I gotta check it out. - I gotta check it out. - That's one of the few times when you, yeah, I'd be like, just, can I just hold it real quick? - Can I just, can I smell it? - I will tell you still some of the most reliable watches I've ever had in my life. I used to like fuck around with Invicta watches. 'Cause like I couldn't afford a Rolex, like for the longest time. I remember, yeah, there's basically a Submariner clone that looked just like the Rolex I always wanted. $90 at the time, at least. $90 from Invicta. Fucking love that watch. I still have it. - Well, I think we don't talk about, it's one of the hardest things. I think we all feel like douchebags. If we talk about any of the stuff. - Other than guns, I feel like guns people have more of a, I don't judge you as much as when you have a watch and you try to show how I feel. - It doesn't, in the apocalypse. - In the apocalypse, a gun is useful. - Cars or anything. I feel like a douchebag talking about or showing. I'm like, ah, and I don't want any, I don't know why. Maybe that's just me, but. - And you only care other people that watches. Everybody else will be like, oh, that's a what? That's my favorite part though. - It's true, people will be like, that's a what? Yeah, that's nice. - Because unless it's a Rolex, like, are you talking about any, literally any other brand? AG, Paddock, you know, whatever the fuck. Women will never know. It's just other dudes. It's just like working out past a certain point. It's like, once you have abs, it's like. (laughing) Women are just like, eh. It's other guys are like, hell yeah, bro. - That's awesome. - You left it today, bro. You got that swole gun. - Aw. - What a go, man. But yeah, it's like, that's how it really is. - Buying shit to impress other fucking guys. - Yeah, 100%, 100%. But it was that. - Yeah. - And I didn't even know any kind of watch period and then learning about like APs or anything past Rolex. We were like, oh, this is an entire world. - There's a whole. - Torbillon's, what are these? Oh, the price, holy shit. That is not my level. - Well, like my mechanical brain, like with the engineering autism, like, I think they're super fucking cool. I look at the price and like, I cannot justify that. - Connor, when you use nicotine in the past, what have you been, your biggest frustrations? Turns out you can't get as much of a pump going when you got a sig in your mouth at the gym that I go to all the time. - Was your recover time worse on nicotine? - Oh, and how? - It narrows your blood vessels and restrict oxygen to your muscles. - It makes it hard to breathe. Your blood doesn't work. - Connor acts the pump. - Ultra pouches are perfect for athletes, runners, or health conscious people, because they're 100% nicotine free. - You pop one of those bitches five minutes before your workout or your work day, and bam, you're gonna be on fire. - A lot of the shit is just actually just good for you. Like, L-theanine, vitamin B6, vitamin B12. - Also, they help quit your cravings and they suppress your appetite. - When do you recommend taking ultra? - I'm gonna do this before the gym. - Well, I'm pumping it, crazy stuff. - It's got new tropics, new tropics. - New tropics. - What's your favorite flavor, Brandon? - Mine's tropical. - I like cool mint. - Ultra is the ultimate guilt free pouch. - Delivering instant focus and mental clarity, all without nicotine or caffeine. - New customers can use the code on sub to get 15% off at takeultra.com. - That's 15% off at takeultra.com when you use code on sub, you add as you be. - Like the Torbillon, when you, as in the mechanical brain, when you see how it operates, how it's the most accurate - It's cool as shit. - It's free-flowing. - Gravity doesn't affect it like your standard and mechanical. - Hold the alcohol this way. - But then you realize that was built in 1790. - That's what I think, right? - Yeah, Torbillon's an old Torbillon. - Torbillon first watch. - That system, which is fucking wild, June 26th, 1801. That's 1795, patented on 1801. - Crazy. - And it actually worked back in 1795. - And that's the dude that came up with how that works and has been the exact same since then. - Yeah, shit. - Yeah. - That's where I'm like, holy fuck. - On that note, kind of like bringing it back to like military shit or gun shit. One of my favorite little tidbits is, you know, we actually designed the minigun in the 1800s. Like the modern, you're thinking the GE, like M134 minigun. - Wasn't there a pattern or something? - There go on with it. - Like, so what basically happened was, do you remember Iron Man 2, I think it was, where like Tony Stark has to figure it, like his dad left the instructions like kind of hidden on like, there's this new element but we don't have the technology right now. But you'll figure it out one day. That's basically what happened. Because somebody, and I don't remember the exact details, but somebody looked at the Gatlin gun. You know, the crank, you know, has like a 20 round magazine, 40 round if it was huge. Just clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, like rotary barrel thing. Somebody looked at that. And we had electrical motors and, you know, very basic motor technology at the time. - We can fucking shoot up with that. And they were like, huh, what if we attach that motor, that gun, so you didn't have to crank it and you could just hit a button and just, yeah, burn through ammo. And basically they couldn't find a way to feed it and make it like reliable and battery tack or whatever. So somebody basically filed blueprints. And they were like, one of these days, we're gonna solve these three problems. - My favorite part though, was that like one day, like after World War II, some guy at GE, pulled out those blueprints and went, oh fuck, we can do that now. - We have bell feds now, like, this is cool. Hold on, wait a minute, let me attach this little fucking, take this right here, bell on this thing, and take that washing machine electric motor and let's put it on this fucking, oh shit. - Steve, come here. - It was so much money when we pressed that button. - And then the A10 was made. - And the rest is history. But I just think it's fucking neat. How like we had like all of the blueprints, like all of the ingredients to make the mini guns so early, we just had like three roadblocks. - And then as time came on, it's like unlock, unlock, unlock. - Yeah, it's like a quest, you know, you go on on the quest. You do not have the resources. Princess is at another castle. - Did I was watching a video on, you remember demo discs? You, who remembers demo discs? - Yeah, they came with gang probes. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - So literally it was, - Hey, Crash Bandicoot. Yeah, PlayStation PlayStation 2 you would get a magazine a demo disc play some new games I didn't know about one demo disc that had a massive issue that they recalled immediately because they got fucking Cause a lot of issues Was it PlayStation So there was the demo for beautiful Joe - do you guys remember beautiful Joe? That sounds familiar because of the angry video game there if you've seen the character you would be like, Oh, I remember that back in the day It logged you into only demos. Yeah, they're real quick. Sorry. That is the patent. Oh, yeah, so 1893. They had the electrical gatling gun in 1893 That's cool and in 1895 electricity was created so beautiful Joe was like old He was an assist character in the Super Smash Brothers. Yep, exactly. So and then it was originally GameCube game 2D Sci-Scroll would beat him up really cool fucking game or RPG. I think kind of like a mix they released the demo disc for the PlayStation 2 and If you played it and you got to a certain part it would automatically reformat your entire memory card Yeah, what I never knew about this and I Lots of like weird video game lore and I was like get the fuck out of here And it was just people angry because there was forums at that day and they look why the fuck did this erase my vinyl fantasy? Dense my memory cards actually got what the fuck look. Oh, that's an elite troll though Did it on purpose it fuck these nerds? What if it was just one guy quiet quitting from the company? He did a good job. Do you guys ever do a quiet quit? No, I don't think so when I left my on my job at a restaurant that I worked at I left a five five or six day old Empty'd but still had some in it chocolate protein shaker Right in the office pop a lid. Oh, yeah, you guys know you guys know what happens after you go to that bad one protein stinky. Oh, I stinkies. I actually sorry Mike. Now now that I think about it. I quiet quit college Because I had already made the decision Well, cuz I was already dropping out so like I knew I was just gonna fucking leave so my last semester after I'd already made this decision So I'm like man, I don't have enough time because I had already started my gun company at the time the YouTube channel and everything I'm like man I really want to give this my all and I can't do that because it that we had mandatory attendance at the school I went to and so I saw if I went to shot show and really like tried the AK 50 and like YouTube and everything I would be losing half of my absences right out the gate in the first like week of school So I'm like fuck it. I'm like I'm I'm just gonna drop out three semesters. Do you give it a shot? And then after that I just I knowing I didn't give a shit about any of my grades. It was the funnest thing They're fucking I did a So I was taking a public speaking class at the time and I think my final like public speaking exam essentially quote-unquote like the like We had to like give a presentation in front of the class I think I completely went off topic and just gave a presentation on why I was leaving the school I love that was fucking great done about quiet quitting college But you did a presentation on why you are quitting that it was it was it was a public speaking class So I had to give a final presentation. I like just ignored the prompt. It was basically the the college version of this isn't an airport No need to a natural departure. Basically. Yeah, but well, but the cool part was I had a really fucking it's still Public speaking teacher. She loved me. She was awesome Afterward, she was like well, I can't give you a good good grade technically, but That's fucking cool good luck. Basically like that's pretty why I quit college. How bad was drape tanks you guys We didn't even get to talk about we had a fucking tornado touchdown like next to show which was cool tornadoes One was like a f1 that fucked up the palladium shit Yeah, and then there was one in a low test. I think okay. That's why the second one It was it just f1 to just like a light is very very light, but it's still like did some damage Yeah, it was a lot of flooding in in my district like the basically West San Antonio to like Evaldi Sabinol Concan areas like that a little bit curveable as well, and it was like a I've never got that many alarms My phone before and then I think I said or I don't know if I did but I didn't know my house alarm system has a Different sound it wakes you up and then when we went and checked because we were like what the fuck is that sound Went and looked and it was like tornado warning take shelter. We're like that's a new thing I've never seen one part in the middle of your street Yeah, I'm like oh there's also been the move to make a lot of changes after curvil Like just because the a lot of that was the lack of early warning system And it was in the middle of the night and a lot of power went out and long story short a lot of failures a lot of small failures Accumulated to 135 people dying. Yeah, and that's why this year. I mean was the flooding just as bad this year and some places It was a lot worse. That's why I think we're up by me is underwater the good new Yeah, I'm by me is underwater and you're shit. Yeah I didn't even know anything was going on to show the fuck dude dude. I didn't realize eight flood Yeah, we flooded so just a quick Fuckin period. I did not know that was a thing. Just just finish that thought though is even though the water in certain places was much higher than it was during the curvil flooding last year It was a lot less violent and we had a lot more heads up and people took it more seriously So while property damage might be worse only two deaths so far that I know of so the loss of life was a lot lower Try find a good one. I'll do it one Hoboken was like underwater. Yeah, maybe if I just search like hoboken. Oh, that's good. There's only two I mean, it's I mean, it's unfortunate no matter what but it's too many, but it's much better than 135 exactly. Yeah, public was underwater Hoboken no joking Yeah, the new Aces River and everything like that was just destroyed or we're not destroyed the like destroying shit. There we go. Hoboken Beach Damn nutty and no new Jersey head floods. Well, yeah, I knew we had a bad and the new guys went out and did the the helping out deliver and Energy drinks water Yeah, we we also started that go fund me which is still active should be it time recording The basically we set it up to try to you know help with a lot of the relief efforts and stuff like that So the the actual name of the go fund me if you'd like to contribute is relief for Evalda area flood victims It's not just for the for Evalda specifically, but it's for you know all the counties and towns around that A lot of those guys are during a tough spot right now and the first responders you know bringing out energy drinks and things like that for them It's first responders. What's that goes Dan first responders Dan first responders help as you know I'm sure a lot of those guys are working around the clock, which very little caffeine. Oh, yeah Yeah, yeah, and you yeah, you've stopped here. Are you? Can't sold what you were doing on in west Texas to come back and actually yeah help as much as you could down here We were we were going to be going out. We had events scheduled in places like you know loving El Paso places like that we we still love you guys But this was clearly where our priorities needed to be me sons Thank you. Make it and cut it. Oh, I got it But it was awesome to see that it's just a response and then Texas getting I mean Especially when you see how big of a difference that made in what a year, right what do you mean all the from you Volody like now the new systems in place Well, like yeah, as people are taking it a lot more seriously this time So when you get an evacuation warning or like hey, we're about to get a fuck little water It wasn't as violent like being there and seeing I mean you saw it too like out in curvil like just the damage that the water did It was just so violent just how high that water got and I mean It's hard to do it justice even pictures didn't do it justice But when you're there and you know where the water line or where it's normally at yeah Year-round and then you see how it just ripped up fucking trees and then brought people wasn't one dude found like 50 miles or something crazy from his house He just there were a lot of stories like that And you know the the woman that got found in the tree and everything like that But I mean you and I went out the first night with Westford L on the fourth like kind of Cut the July 4th celebrations a little short and went out. Mm-hmm as soon as it happened and just looking out at flashlights and shit and seeing like Cars in trees and just shit like that. It was I've genuinely have never seen anything like it It's terrifying I mean fortunately we haven't had to deal with too much like that But yeah, when we catch when we catch flooding it gets really bad But all the towns that I work for are either on the river or have some sort of water going through it and it just it just gets messy I might do those towns are real close to where you guys were so you those towns are or underwater Meanwhile, I'm here, but that's the crazy part about we're with with with West Texas specifically is that most of the Problem that we have 98% of the year is that we don't have enough water Mm-hmm. So we're like desperate lack of water and then it just all dumps at one time Crazy all of it dumps at one time Two years in a row now. It's like Yeah, who is also who do you want to give a shout out who gave these? Oh, yeah, I had some coins for you guys That was the the sheriff of Ward County We've got a lot of a lot of amazing sheriffs and things like that out, you know got Sheriff award you get the sheriff of loving David Landersman a lot of a lot of great people out in West Texas that really just don't get enough resource is a lot of people, especially in the Permian base and in areas around it that are tasked with a big responsibility, taking care of the oil fields and things like that, the energy infrastructure of the United States, the state of Texas, and they just don't get any funding because they're so rural, there's no people that live there. Out of sight out of mind, type of, they're populations are so low, they don't get the resources they need, and so working with them as much as we can to make sure that their people are taking care of is good for you. And that's important, you got to take care of the people that take care of you, you know? Yeah, right. You start doing that Congress thing. I know I feel like it's just taking years off my life right now. Not the funny, hot guy, he used to be, but, you know, I still am, I just have to be serious. But they're not taking the shitty ones off at the end, they're taking the good ones. We just have to delete some of the jokes. I'm still the same guy, I just have to put on my serious boy's pants a lot more often. My censorship pants. That joke's going to fuck me up. It's crazy me how I know it's, it's never the shit I think it's going to be through the thumbs up Brandon posters. Yeah. There's this the Kentucky ballistic stick of thumb in it, stick of thumb in it. How did it, how did it take us this long in the episode of think about that? It's such a good joke. That's a good joke. Damn it. Yeah, fuck that. It's awesome to see that and then just being dedicated to it, because I would have. It's amazing. It's also funny too, to like, you know, bring it up with certain like law enforcement groups and shit like that. And like, oh, yeah, no, I'd love to do something with you guys, you know, support you. Bring up my buddy. I don't know if you know, like donut operator and they're like, wait, what? I thought you were donut operator. If it was you, who are you pushing for government this whole time? Yes. This is he. I just thought that was his real name. What the fuck is going on here? They're bad. They get hyped up and they're like, wait, you'll bring out Cody, okay? Yeah, fuck yeah. I still just tell people I'm you and they ask, it's awesome. I got that challenge going now, too. Actually, you haven't. Have you showed that off yet? Yeah, I don't know if I've shown up on here. I've got a challenge going made that says not Brandon Herrera. And I give these to people who come up and they're like, I'm voting for you, man. Like, yeah, well, here, here. I just want you to have this challenge going. Oh, I also was on the back too, I even know that as fucking dope. So I think that was the guy who made your challenge coins. I think he's the guy who makes mine as well, same dude. I can tell you right now. Yes, please give him a shout out because he just fantastic. He's the one that did the purple heart coins or was mandatory fun coins. Yeah, he's the one that did the purple heart. He did the live show. The live show. Fantastic. So always a big shout out for him. He's a great dude. He's Brandon Herrera challenge coins. These are actually the new ones. Now before it said, Republican congressional candidate. Now it says Republican congressional nominee for TX 23, nailed it. And now it's almost done. You just got to do a little more and then it's 108 days. Not that anybody's counting. 107 here we come. It was weird watching reading your nice literally, you're just posting you racing. And then someone was like, it's the only race you're going to win. I'm like, really? But I don't think this is the first thing you go to. That's where you went, huh? We can delete this segment. I just like wild to see when you're just like, hey, the crazy part was there was like they just like launched a new fucking attack against me as I'm posting pictures of like being there for the Evalid flood victims and being out there like, hey, or like prayers for the troops deployed. I just got back from Jordan. These guys are in harm's way. Hopefully they come back safe. You do little stuff like that, and you're just like, by the way, you're a piece of shit. You're stuck. Okay. Luckily, I've been on the internet for 10 plus years, so I don't mean everybody on the internet's super kind. It's sweet. I know. Well, yeah. I'm more offended for like the other people, like the people who just had their children lost overseas and things like that, seeing that it's just, I don't know, to me it's one raceful, but whatever. And are we allowed to talk about any of the combat stuff going? Sure. Yeah. What do you want to talk about? Well, I just didn't know if it's, I didn't Google or see if it's actually news yet, because I didn't even know you're the one that informed me it's like, hey, that base, you were just at, it got struck, right? Yeah. That one in particular, I think there was like 10 drones or rockets that attacked that base, eight got intercepted. I want to say on that one, there were two wounded thankfully no deaths at that time, but there's, there were two more deaths that got reported out of Jordan and then one out of Iraq. So it's, it's still like, there's a lot of service members in harm's way, but I want to make sure that they, they get home safe. Are they using drones now? Is it like missiles? It's a combination of both. That's so wild to me. Drones cost like nothing. It's crazy. It seems to be the future of warfare seems to be like referring, but reverting back to, to paper airplane. Yeah. That's what it feels like. Finding a drone that is, you know, just minimal cost and just lower the cost and then raising the cost of intercept. Well, it's, I mean, when we were there, you never had a, that did not take place, missiles coming in, it did not take place. It was dude pulling up in their vehicles. They just aim and shoot out a couple mortars and they were really good at Kentucky wind staging of where they're just going to land, they're just trying to hit the base, though. And then they bounce out and then they go to next plot. What kind of mortars were they using? Just fucking shit, old Soviet shit, yeah, literally, literally put, put out like they're pulling up, they're launching it and then bounce is kicking. That was it back in the day. So I guarantee, I guess I never, well, I just, I guess I never questioned the supply chain. Like if it was shit that was being funded by Iran or like old Chinese shit or like Russian shit leftover from Afghanistan, there seem to be no shortage of munitions for the, the locals to use back in GWAT, like old artillery shells for IEDs and things like that. So the Soviet area, Iraqi military, 60, 81s and 82 mortar tubes, and they just would pull up, launch a couple and then bounce and that was all we were used to. That's why even the idea of a missile coming in is very foreign or drones, very close is not. When I was there in Jordan, especially like, like, so the two bases I went to was K-FAB and JTC, shouts out all the people that were out there, you guys were fucking awesome, loved their reminit of it. But they were showing me videos, they were like, oh yeah, I was there and you know, that's what you see the end of the corner there, I was there when I recorded this video. It was like the first couple days of epic fury where, you know, there was a lot of rockets being traded back and forth between the U.S. Iran, Israel Iran and over like, specifically JTC I think, it was right in the middle of where rockets were getting intercepted and they were just, just look up in the sky and it was just a light show of missiles being fired and blown up right over their heads, which also leads to its own thing. Like you're trying to avoid the dodge and trap and fall in pieces. Very much. It's wild to me. We took pictures inside the little bunkers, stuff like that that they have, which are basically just like, I don't want to get too much into the construction, but it- Yeah, please break down. You have the plans, right? You can put them up right here. Yeah, right here. With weaknesses. It's an op sec 100. Well, we also, we asked them a lot too of like, you know, what can we take pictures and video of? What can we not? Like, we didn't want to, you know, put any of our guys at risk. It was just wild hearing the difference because that none of that fucking existed when you were like, it's a bunker. I was like, oh, it's the literal concrete half a square that you go wonder and that's it. That's crazy. Okay. That's the one thing I wondered because it- They just- They don't want- They don't want it so much. No, and that's fine. Like, don't show them that. It's just how war changes, but it doesn't really change. Or as you're saying, it starts- The fundamentals. Yeah. Well, right now, like, I think the biggest thing is going to be trying to figure out how we can reduce our cost of intercept. Like, there's a few things that I've been talking about, but I think there's ways to do it effectively. But yeah, basically making us more financially efficient in intercepting these things, so we're not launching multi-million dollar missiles like the 22 mini-gun. Do what? 22, so just, because they're pretty accurate now with AI systems, so that way it just tracks like a robotic AI one that could catch. I don't think it's got the distance you'd want. Hmm. Interesting. Yeah. Because, like, what we're trying- This is Cypher drones. I would say this- Yeah. Well, not for like the big, like, Shaheeds. Yeah. Yeah. Because yeah, what they're trying to do is like bait us into using multi-million dollar missiles. Cool. Which is, like, that's- And anybody who studied things like the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan knows that, like, okay, that's unsustainable. Yeah. Because that's one of the reasons why they kicked ass is because they figured out the stinger could take down, you know, a very cheap manufactured missile can take down with a fairly untrained user could take down a multi-million dollar helicopter. Which if you own a stinger system that's inert and want me to buy it- I will, because it's the last piece for Metal Gear Solid, I mean. He would do that for sure. For sure. I have one person they thought they had one for me, and they were like, oh, I was like, no, it's nice. I didn't get it. You know, Eli will take that off your hands for you. He's a nice guy. He would do that for you. Please. Please. No, it's just the different, um, just where combat has gone, and then this is the first time we fought an actual military vehicles in any helicopters, missiles. We haven't done that in 40, 30 years, 40 years? I don't think it's been that long. I racked 20 years. We didn't have any of that. Trying to think of like, I'm trying to think of like a pre-G-Wat like Yeah, early like high-way a death kind of shit like that. Oh, yes, so third that's Hastings. It's still 35 years ago Yeah, I guess it's kind of getting up there, huh? And 35 years ago we fought a traditional military Yeah, you have everything going on like but we didn't fight Any of the in Russia or any of that shit. That's yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's just been ground soldiers and then whatever afghanistan Boxy wars. Yeah, proxy wars All we've been dealing with for the last like in 30 something years Yay war. I mean if I'm not mistaken. I think I think the global war on terror ended up Giving way to a lot of EMS protocol. We have like a lot of people couldn't use ternicates back in the day and stuff like that But really because you know because of G-Wat we ended up being able to use a lot of that Oh, yeah, that'd be a lot of wound packing from your side in your side what changed with G-Wat or an act of military or That came with it because I know G-Wat updated a lock turn on trauma. Yeah, big time wound packing changed a lot Ternicate use changed a lot but all because of and Obviously G-Wat's not exactly the best case scenario for anything, but you know, that's that did come out of it Maybe it's gonna happen either way might as well learn. Yeah, and we learned a lot. We want to allow from it. It's uh Ternicates were more less use because fear of Yeah, you would think that you would lose the limb. Yeah, they always tell you're gonna lose the limb but then You know you do all this research and all that stuff and now it saves limbs I've yeah, I've had a few Instances where I've had to turn to get limbs and I've I mean, I've said I've ternicated limbs where that limb was Not viable. It's noticeably not viable. We're not trying to save the limb or trying to save the rest of you Um, but we've also you know, we've ternicated limb. We've had people have Uh punctures right to their femoral. We had a whole conversation about femoral bleeding the other day and uh, yeah It's you you bleed out fast from femoral bleeding. That's a huge artery Um, and we've 100% stopped people from Losing limbs losing arms Um, don't turn to get the neck But yeah Um, if you want to stop a nosebleed turn to get the neck. You're all good. Yeah, dude Um, but yeah, you could you they 100% you know, if you Gets a little hokey, you know, just write the time on the forehead and blood and you're good to go That's it easy to save people save your limb if we can I've had to turn to get limbs a couple times Uh, I was telling him that we had an instance where kid crash his motorcycle that he was 100% not stunting Into a barricade into ash into a barricade on the highway and you know that took off three quarters of his kid's leg And I had to turn to get it three times or two two or three times to stop that bleed But we stopped we stopped the bleed and he survived. He actually still stunts. I'm on here if I follow monestigh rame It's pretty cool. Okay, but uh, but uh, but yeah, he's still does it without the leg. Yeah. Yeah, shit Yeah, I'll try to find an instance. I don't remember the name of it, but I don't follow that many people so I should be able to find it Okay, two minutes. I thought it was faster. I mean two minutes is still wild. You can bleed out from tomorrow. Oh, yeah 100% you dump leaders. You dump leaders from your family. Oh, it's terrifying. It's the size of your pinky. Mm-hmm It's huge and then every time you heart beat That's why every time I hear someone say why don't you shoot him in the leg? Why don't you shoot him in the leg? Like why you want to fun kill the guy put on you? No, we've talked that through in the podcast. Yeah, people who don't know anything about guns are just like Oh, well, you could just do a non fatal shot like to the leg like I would Unironically rather take you take one of the shot. Yeah, shoot me in the arm like whatever. I don't Yeah, well, you're not I mean you're not you're not trying to shoot also the level of How many people could in a stressful situation be like? Oh, okay, I now need to shoot on the right side or the outside of their leg Perfectly to neutralize this individual. Oh easy handful of people in the world. Yeah easy piece of cake Yeah, police officers just like shoot as many times as like possible until they stop just gun him off as holster Being very aggressive, but we didn't have I know we were just trained for immediately put a tourniquet on it Anything happens you just turn a kidney in combat Yourself you're supposed to do it within like seven or 10 seconds of you acknowledging you got injured or exploded Whatever it is. It's possible. Yeah, worry about it later. She can Say for battle buddies. That's why they're all in one central location rip it off put it on them tie it off I mean better to and not need it than need it not do it sure worst case scenario, you know Whatever, but you're gonna live That's kind of crazy to me that like before G watch turnipets weren't like a widely accepted. Yeah, it just wasn't You know wound packing was almost a no-no dude. That's really yeah, holy shit The degree you have to wound pack is way more than you would It's not oh here. I have a bandage. Yeah pressure. You just shove that shit in You're the empty. Yeah, you you have we have The first time you'll ever tell people to shove shit in. Yeah exactly 100% right different hole Different different objects theoretically you weren't born with the hole that you're wound packing But uh, yeah, you know, you know, you have you know, he's static dressing stuff that'll that'll quick clot and you just get it in there Fuckin whatever it takes, you know, stop the bleed. That's you know, there's The old adage is blood goes round and round air goes in and out any deviation fucking fix it You know, that's that's our our motif, you know, if you're bleeding and we got to stop the bleed. That's our first thing It's they they teacher your your ABCs or your airway. You're breathing your circulation unless you're bleeding then it's see first You got to stop that bleed otherwise you're you're not gonna make it who cares when you're bleeding. You're breathing super great Got to stop that bleed and that just wasn't a common thing before all of this. Well, it's all that wound packing It was wild to see how much you're supposed to pack the wound though That's what always blew me away. I was like oh, it's like a yeah, if you have a major a major rip here You're stuffing the entire your buddy's going to be screaming or the individual you're packing that wound Is not going to feel good for them and you're going to be like I'm killing this individual. That's not the case They'll thank you in 10 years. Yes, but it is it is a violent For I can just shove it in until you see no blood period I don't know if you can just that it doesn't by the way does not feel good on its own, you know I've gotten to see like people like a skinny medic and stuff like that like they do the training courses and shit like that And you know never got to do like an official course or whatever But I've seen them do demonstrations and stuff like that just showing like yeah, just keep fucking packing that shit in Because they've got the dummies that they've got the little thing where they squirt blood out of absolutely the training kits I can give you a little little slit on your finger and put him a static dressing on that and it'll be The most ferocious fire pain you felt all the time this stuff it burns some of these things burn Yeah, and imagine imagine that you know an inch deep inside of you Yeah, it's rough Yeah, it's my favorite thing Yeah, it's my biggest fear over there. Tramas and EMTs we'll have so we're fine, you know With our difficulty breathings and our diabetic emergencies and all the boat as an EMTs are Tramas are we'll have so we want to make there's only with with medical calls. There's only so much that We can do To make a medical call better, you know as as non-medics. There's only so much that we can do Trama we can fix you. We'll put you back together You know, we'll do our best to get you back together and then it's cold steel hot lights and diesel fuel Let the top like the people that are a little smarter than us on fuck you but we'll get there. We'll get you there Yeah, would it so with any of the police trained anything change or did you hear it's like oh this actually changed throughout time as From vets coming and joining the Yeah, it was definitely we didn't have turnickets until I was in for like a year So I was a cop for like a year really and then it was actually like a couple of veterans came over who were EMTs That were doing part-time on the SWAT team they made those guys full-time SWAT team guys and they brought turnickets Like here's how to use them like no one even had turnickets and this is like 2012. We still didn't have them Did they have to do they ever have to throw one on you just to kind of show you how to do it and like actually torque that thing down on you Yeah, they just showed. Yeah, it feels like they'll shit make it turn against you like crap always move their balls try not to get a nut in there Yeah, I'm sure they appreciate that. They'll they'll also thank you engineers. Yeah, they'll also thank you engineers Turn it until the bright red blood stops. Yeah, going that's it. This is literally the rule of thumb Just twist if they're not screaming and I'm doing enough. I hate that to everything where you're like I'm just killing him more because it's like you you twist it until they scream you pack it Tell me my arm bro. Fuck you. I'm just the rest of you passing out your hearts doing this thing where it's beating. He's alive We have one of our buddies got the left shot here And lucky because medic reached in and pinched his but like you're talking one of the most painful fucking place in forever He took a lot of nerves. Yes random AK round just sniper hit him here. They had to reach in and fucking just Just go easy fucking pinched with his finger to even try to pack it He just clipped it and just held on and they read it. He wrote it to the hospital. Yep. Yeah, man. That's dope. He lived That's dope. Nice. Good for him. That's a good one. That's a big one Yeah, listen when when it takes you a while to clean up the floor your ambulance when you when you have to be like, you know We're back back in town. Hold us out for decon. You don't call back in for like two hours But that guy at the hospital. He made it. You know, if he's alive and we get him there. We did something right Oh Cody, where is your truck done yet? What my up to 15. Yeah. No, Jesus fuck Why is it not how long ago is that? In two days it'll be seven months exactly. Wait, what the fuck? I dude pulled out in front of me. He didn't have any insurance and I nailed him with my like brand new F-250 Well, you nailed him, but it was his fault. That's his fault. Yeah, it was his fault He just pulled during that fucking lane. - On the freeway, when they divide and you're supposed to just stay in your lane. - Even if you missed your exit or something, just stay in there, something around. Well, he didn't, he said, "I go now." (laughing) And right out in front of me, and just smushed his little CRV. But that was seven months ago. So like, I'm pretty sure like Gartel's already taken it and ripped it around the Mexico desert with a bunch of blow in the back or something. Like they're doing something like that. - At least somebody's having fun. - Yeah, but it was a Shelby. So it took Shelby a lot of time to get the parts in. - That Caeli 250. - Actually on the 23rd coming up here in a couple days, it will be exactly seven months and that's when all the parts come in. - That's when the parts come in. So they can start working on it. Yeah, that's pretty cool. - Pretty. - I think it parts real fast for my forward explorer. - Yeah. (laughing) - I didn't realize it was that long, all right? - Yeah, I did seven months. It was two days before Christmas. - Oh my God. - Oh my God, Merry Christmas, Jesus. - Yeah, that was cool. - That was cool. - Oh shit, I know. What do you have any new, when's your next video coming out? Your. - I need to make some videos. I know. - I feel that. - I feel that. - I'm for crime, when is it happening? - Yeah. I've been slacking in the video department lately. - We'll get back on top of that. - Time is fun. - Crime is fun. - Crime is fun. - I'm reading it. - It's the same time for me. - I say time is fun. - I love crime. - Time for problem. - It's on his shirt, I'm just fucking stupid. When, oh, oh. - Like, scratch for a minute. Need to pop that chest just like that, yeah. - What are your next videos that you're working on? Or do you have, you've got your long form, so you start a podcast and then you have your other long form, which is more of your action-based stuff. - Yeah, so I do a smaller podcast where I just kinda, I just talk to creators and we talk about the creator behind the creation. I have creators, I have makers. Bunch of really cool people. - What's the difference between a creator and a maker? - Oh, one creator, what not. So, makers are people who do things like they make watches, they make jewelry, they make things like that. I had a guy from, I had Nathan Trafford, from Trafford Watch Company. I bought actually a Trafford Watch. When my Facebook crossed the million mark, I bought a Trafford Watch, and I had-- - I've heard of them. - Oh, so it hits such a cool little micro brand. They're super cool. They're on like, if you guys ever watch like the Teddy Balda Sorry videos, if you guys do like Teddy Balda Sorry watch videos, if you want to contest with them, that's how I found them. And it's really cool little micro brand company that does a really nice job making nice watches. It has picked up one of their day trippers. I can show you that one, but I have, it's a day-tripper blue. So that was Trafford Watch day-tripper. So that's not exactly this watch, but it looks similar to this. - Okay. - One of these guys. But yeah, so we do the podcast. We do my short form is over on the original batch 502 channel. And then I started doing through my 502 reviews. That's the new channel that we created was 502 reviews. And that is kind of reaction videos to, now listen, I've never been, I work in law enforcement, sure, but I've never been a cop. I've never been in the military, unfortunately. And so it's hard for me to speak to like weapons and tactics and things like that in shootings. Like I just, I don't understand that enough to be able to speak educationally about it. But I, listen, I can bust balls as good as fucking anybody. I can make fun of you. And you will not know I made fun of you for another 45 minutes until I walked away. So what we are doing is things like DUI's case, is stuff that a 911 dispatcher would send you to, have to understand EMTs would show up to. And we're doing like DUIs and-- EMTs showing up to a DUI. Oh, yeah, we do it all the time. Really? Oh, yeah. Yeah, when people crash their cars. Oh, well, well, yeah. Yeah, well, yeah. That makes way more sense. Yeah, words of Ron White, anything's a DUI checkpoint if you crash your car into it. You're exactly right. I'll give you first, the first one that we just did was the Assistant Attorney General. She was out of Newport, Rhode Island. I said, New Hampshire, yes, I've had Newport, Rhode Island. She's the Assistant Attorney General over there. And she's getting like trespassment. But she's not a couple too many drinks. And they're like, I, this lady's got to go. She's getting jacked out of here. And it's like her, her friend, and the two guys, and obviously two guys are super fucking helpful. And then she's with her friend who's just screaming. And it's Newport, Rhode Island. They're just hoidy, toyty, rich motherfuckers who just want to free. So this is what she's an AG. So she knows what she's talking about. But she's talking about like, you need to shut your body cam off, all this stuff. And I'm like, well, first off, no, no, the fuck they don't. I mean, they're situations where they might ask you to. And it might be viable. It's like a super delicate situation. You can ask that. But it's still going to be the opposite. Well, what would a situation be that you would shut a body cam off? So yes, if it's like a DV conversation that is getting hyper personal if they're talking about juveniles in a certain way, but there's certain things. Again, that officers can technically have the ability to do it. But there's more like, you're going to cover your bases. Like, no officers are really going to be like, we're shutting our cameras off as well. I was going to say, I feel like no matter what. Even if it is super delicate, like that's something-- I mean, if somebody admits to something that's like, oh, well, that's like a child crime. Yeah, exactly. You want that stuff on it. So I can think of very minimal reasons. My animal, which I beat WC off. But she keeps telling them that they have to shut it off. You have to shut it off. And mind you, she's in the middle of a wide open restaurant front with a couple cops. And she's just screaming, I'm an A.J. I'm an A.J. And I'm like, well, you're fuck it. First off, there's two aspects of this. First off, you can't just scream, I'm an A.J. And expect people to help not to not do something. Because first off, look at all these people that are watching. So if you're like, I'm an A.J., they're going to be like, oh, OK, well, we can't do anything that. No, you're going to get fucking jammed up because these cops are now going to be like, well, I can't not do anything now, because everybody around you is going to be like, whoa, they're letting you go, which is an attorney general. So you can see it through them. On top of that, in public, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy. Correct. It's 100%. 100%. 100%. Now the other half of it is-- and go, I guarantee you, you're going to feel at least 5% this way. Cops do not love A.J.'s, man. They don't love A.J.'s. They don't love prosecutors. If I was to arrest somebody for 15 freaking crimes, and I go to court, and they drop nine of those crimes, or 13 of those crimes, what the hell did all that work for? I just did all this work trying to-- and these guys are just like, nah, you're good. We're just going to get them on this. And we'll call this then. That wasn't your area. I can't. It's fucking-- Oh, yeah, never mind. Now I get why you would not like them as a-- I'm not going to bring this partisan-wise, but let's say I'm assuming this was a soft on crime, A.J. It was Newport, Rhode Island, baby, you know? There was a-- There was a day soft on crime, 100%, most likely. Like there's a spot in it where I was like-- the cutaway was, what's your superpower? I'm rich. It's like, just a bunch of rich people that aren't used to being told no. And I think she said, one of the officers was like-- lived over at the guys, and was like, can you get your kids out of here? Just like in real life? And I'm like, that's fucking hilarious. Like maybe not the height of professionalism is still fucking hilarious. And please get these kids out of here. You're ridiculous. But yeah, so we're doing things like that where it's going to be just breakdowns of things like that and just kind of chop bust in. And hopefully it's funny. I hope you guys like it. I try to like to think I'm a little funny sometimes. And don't say stuff like that. We'll let the comments decide. Yeah, we'll let the comments decide. I did the watch thing for you, so-- That took me an embarrassingly long time. That was-- so I had full disclosure. I had told Eli about this on say, hi, yesterday. I'm like, listen, I'm 100% doing this. I'm like, I don't know if the watch guy is going to notice. But I wonder if they're going to notice. Because I'm going to make sure that I'm keeping them, like, kind of closing, kind of jingling the G-Shock around, banging it around a little bit. Well, I was like, it took him that surprise in a long time. I had to re-on by that point. Yeah. I didn't get the fourth one on. And then where can people find those ones at? Where do the internet people find you? Dear internet, how are you? I am fine. 502 Reviews over on YouTube is the new channel. We're pushing to get that legitimized. Make that take off. And once that happens, the Quiet Shift Podcast is going to move, by the way, that's the name of the podcast. Because I'm a first responder and I love chaos. The Quiet Shift Podcast is going to get its own YouTube channel. Right now, we're just building watch hours. And it's going to be over at 502 Reviews. It's going to be a good time. He's also starting a G-I-J-O figure review channel. Yeah. I already have one. It's a little-- It's a little-- Slightly used. It's a little out of shape and smells funny. Someone's suck putting your butt. Yeah, sir. 2 out of 10. Great, valid. Object to place it. For some reason, the G-I-J-O figures like this now, I don't understand what happened. It also has one teere line. He hates your prostate button. Keep going. He found G-I-G's this after that. And then where can they find you on 502 on everything other than that? Yeah, yeah. Batch 502 across all social media platforms. On Instagram, it happens to be EMTBatch 502. Yeah, that's a good time, man. Come hang out. Come hang out.
