Jimmy
It's always Orlando traffic.
Lewis
I want to start out with. With my article that just came out. This is great. Roll it. All right, that link I just sent.
Mike
This is Poor Lewis.
Lewis
All right, come on.
Matt
Go back.

I just sent the link. The link I just sent in the email. This is ultimate street goonery 101.
Mike
Okay, this cop.
Lewis
I met this guy once. Oh, it's in.
Jimmy
Is that Martin?
Lewis
Martin County. Bring that up. My man in Martin County. Make us bigger.
Jimmy
Make us bigger.
Lewis
My bad. In Martin County.
Jimmy
Here.
Lewis
Justin Lee. I met him once. I met him once. I did. He was policing in 21 25, not 20, 25. What Justin Lee was doing was he was going on back page and all those websites, acting like a john, having the prostitutes bring drugs, and he was pinching them at the scene. Unfortunately, though, I guess he fabricated a little. No, he didn't do anything. He did it by the book. But when it came to the state attorney hearing, you're like, well, how did you know all these girls were having gonna come with drugs every single time? I guess he kind of like, you know, I kind of. And I. I think he fabricated a little bit.
Mike
Was he doing his own drug stings?
Lewis
He was. He was operating.
Mike
But nowadays you can't do that.
Lewis
No, but I mean that. We were doing that back in the day, and there was an ops plan and all that stuff. And it sounds like very proactive, very good police work, in my opinion. You can't get around the fabricating. Can't fabricate anything. And I guess when he got called in.
Mike
Yeah.
Lewis
At the state attorney hearing about why and how. And then he pulled the ultimate move, which I was. I'm always ready. He control alt deleted the whole phone and wiped it before they could get it. When they subpoenaed his phone, the old Hillary. Yeah. He handed them the old brick, man.
Mike
That's how it always looks.
Lewis
It says hello in Chinese.
Jimmy
Why is your phone from Huawei?
Mike
You can get rid of it. Louis.
Lewis
Yeah. I don't condone the line. I guess the fabricate but alleged this guy is doing good police work and it's not accepted that way anymore. In. In the new world of policing yeah, you can't just. But he was getting drugs off the street. I can't knock that.
Jimmy
I mean, I mean, like Batman. Batman was breaking people's bones, but he was getting the criminals off the street.
Lewis
Every now and then we would get a phone. I'd get a phone number from like a. On a traffic stop, and, oh, this is my dealer. And I would, hey, man, let me get a 40 and meet me here. And we did have to kind of navigate the probable cause a little bit on how we got to where we were, but I like it. I like it. I tacos with the guy once.
Jimmy
Oh, sounds like he sounds like a legit cop to me.
Lewis
I mean.
Jimmy
I mean.
Lewis
All this stuff you could get in trouble for. And he literally got in trouble for arresting people. Like, that's what he got in trouble for. So what do you think?
Tyler
I mean, it sounds like he didn't get in trouble for arresting people. It sounds like he got in trouble for, like, bureaucracy saying how he ended up arresting them.
Lewis
Yeah, yeah.
Tyler
There's rule things, right?
Jimmy
Yeah.
Lewis
I mean, I get it.
Jimmy
You can't.
Lewis
You can't lie in a hearing.
Tyler
You can't.
Lewis
But, you know, it's like. Well, I. I guess if you got one or two of those arrests, you'd be like, yeah, you know, but when you get like 30 of them.
Tyler
Right.
Lewis
Like, I remember we had a stop sign in the hood that was. Everybody ran it. You couldn't believe how bad of an intersection this was. Like, everybody rolled the stop sign. One day the state attorney goes, you have like 37 drug cases on this one stop sign. That must be the most dangerous stop sign in the county. Like, you know, their wheels just stopped right on that line. Like, just past it. Like, you know, it's a drug house. They're buying dope. It's white people in a car, you know, easy, you know, shooting fish in a barrel. But they didn't stop at the stop sign legally.
Jimmy
We. We had problems.
Lewis
Or there's a 30 second loop on your camera. So if you go 31 seconds away, it's not there anymore.
Mike
So did you guys have to write tickets for the traffic infractions or. No, no, no, we didn't.
Lewis
Because you could lose a traffic ticket, and then you. Then you could challenge a PC if there's a warning.
Jimmy
You can't.
Lewis
Yeah, you have to have a suppression hearing at that point.
Mike
Yeah.
Lewis
If you write the ticket and you go to traffic court and they find a reason to throw your ticket out, then whatever. I think Justin Lee was living like My wife said he's policing in 20.
Tyler
25.
Lewis
21.
Jimmy
25. Future crime.
Lewis
Future crimes.
Jimmy
Future crime.
Mike
Why is X pulled up?
Lewis
Because we got a good video. He's gonna break down on X. But that we don't. Nobody sees that but us. Yeah, Lewis is just throwing all the curves he's got.
Jimmy
He's got everything, like, stacked.
Lewis
Yeah.
Mike
Okay. He's ready to go. He's ready to go.
Lewis
Something's muted up there. That's not us, is it? At the top? We're good.
Jimmy
Okay.
Tyler
I think I said TV.
Mike
All right. Oh, yeah, yeah. TV's muted.
Jimmy
All right.
Lewis
That's all I got, is my contribution to the show.
Mike
No, no, no. You got.
Jimmy
You got one more, man.
Lewis
Oh, yeah, I got a couple. There's some videos in there.
Jimmy
Well, I mean, Chicago.
Lewis
Yeah, we got Chicago.
Mike
Is it in there?
Lewis
Yeah, it's in there.
Mike
So some dude tried lighting a lady.
Lewis
Yeah, go ahead, roll the footage, Lewis. It's another link. No, I don't think there's video. I think it's a link. No, maybe I didn't send it anyway. In Chicago, a gentleman on his way to. On his way to his law school, He's working his way up to being an astronaut, and he set a woman on fire. Jimmy brought this story up. He set a woman on fire.
Mike
The.
Lewis
The suspicious part of this is it's a woman.
Jimmy
Yeah.
Lewis
It's a black male suspect and a woman. Not a race. Which leads me to believe that she was white before she turned whatever color for being said. Yeah.
Mike
Charcoal gray.
Lewis
I get.
Tyler
He's.
Lewis
It was crazy. He's been charged.
Mike
Terrorism. I mean, this. I don't know what it is about people in subways getting lit on fire, but that's the thing.
Jimmy
Stabbed.
Lewis
But just think, like, of all the things the feds come in for in Chicago, where it should be demolished, they find one crazy black dude and they're like, terrorists. We're gonna get him. That's the guy right there. The guy who's setting people on fire, which is bad.
Jimmy
Yeah, I mean, yeah. I mean. Well, how many. How many prior arrests?
Lewis
He set a building on fire in 2021. Jesus. Then he is suspected of setting city hall on fire last week. And now he's had a lady on fire.
Jimmy
This guy in Arkham.
Tyler
I know what terrorism is like. I could describe it to someone, but I don't know, like, what the line of terrorism is like. When does it exactly become terrorists, I.
Mike
Say setting people on fire.
Lewis
Well, in Chicago, you can run around with Draco and shoot 3040 people a weekend. And that's not terrorism, right? Well, I mean, that one lady on fire and man, you're a terrorist.
Tyler
Yeah.
Mike
Oh, the feds have to come in and do what they got to do.
Lewis
So that sounds like a fed sitting around with board and he's like, well, there's a guy case I gota. Oh, that guy said, I got a fire, let's go grab him. That's a slam dunker.
Jimmy
We got CCTV footage and everything.
Lewis
Yeah, slam dunker.
Jimmy
Jesus Christ.
Tyler
They meant to click arson. And then they click terrorism. They're like, ah, we'll just do it.
Mike
Yeah, yeah.
Lewis
There's a gun like three blocks away. So he's armed.
Jimmy
Armed terrorist. What is the. The, like, statute for? Like, when. When does it go from, like, arson or attempted murder or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon to like terrorists?
Lewis
When the feds get involved. We don't have a state terrorism charge. So that's a fed charge.
Jimmy
Well, obviously that, but I mean, like, that. That seems like.
Lewis
So I worked with the D. A and what the D. A would do in a small town, like where I grew up or where I lived. I'm sorry, where I worked, they would just cherry pick. They would cherry pick cases. So you'd get a case. You get a case. They'd be like, oh, this guy's got 50 grams of crack. We're gonna take him. And I'm like, it's the first time I ever been arrested. Like, oh, it's great. But then you got a guy over here who's been selling crack his whole life, but that's too hard to get to. This guy here one time, and they would take him and put him in for like 20 years.
Mike
Yeah, you don't beat fed cake.
Lewis
No, they. But they cherry pick. They go, okay, we're bored.
Jimmy
We have to justify our existence.
Lewis
Yeah, it's like a five, man. The building is like three stories, like 25 million dollar building. There's like four agents working in it. Like, it's huge. It's down in Port St. Lucie, right by the Mets stadium. So they have to justify eight sally ports and interview rooms and all these analysts and everybody walk around for like four guys. So they would just cherry pick cases from the locals.
Jimmy
Nuts, man.
Lewis
Anything federal is garbage. I mean, other than the time. The time is. You can't beat the time. They get the time and they go to prison.
Jimmy
So if you get a. If you get a fed case, like, just bend over.
Lewis
You have to go.
Mike
Yeah, yeah, Like Jason talked about, for a crack rock Though they'll. They'll give you prison time. It's crazy. God damn, Tyler. Some people in the comments, I guess they don't know who you are. They just said you look angry.
Jimmy
They said they did. They're like, who's the guy on the right?
Tyler
I am angry.
Mike
Funny story. Tyler is a. Is an Afghanistan vet.
Tyler
Yeah, Afghanistan. Syria.
Mike
In Syria, he was EOD in the army still.
Tyler
Yeah, I'm in the National Guard now.
Mike
So they let you have a go to a whole full ass goatee in the.
Tyler
No, I'm in the Guard, so whenever I go in, I shave. But my unit, because there's like, not very many of us, and we're kind of spread it all across the country, so we don't meet one weekend a month. Like. Like a normal guard unit does. We meet every three months or so.
Mike
Then you Super. More time than.
Tyler
Right. So more than one week. We train for, like, super five, six days instead of two.
Mike
You had a Muta 12, right? Yeah.
Tyler
Yep.
Mike
Okay.
Tyler
You know what's up?
Jimmy
Yeah, yeah.
Lewis
The National Guard talk.
Mike
Yeah.
Lewis
Oh, wow. Wow. It's pretty cool.
Jimmy
Me and Mike are over here. Like, we have no idea.
Tyler
Well, Mike's not invited to the demo range now.
Jimmy
Man. I didn't do anything.
Lewis
I went to the mechanical or preaching. That's pretty wild stuff.
Tyler
Yeah, it is.
Lewis
Gary. Standing that stack and.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah, it's dangerous.
Lewis
Not a fan.
Tyler
I don't think half the instructors that do breaching courses even realize, like, how much damage they're doing to their brains, but, you know, it is what it is.
Lewis
I remember standing there waiting, and obviously, as you know it, it's further back in the stack that feels the shock. And you're like, all right, get ready. Open your mouth. Don't breathe. Don't give me all these instructions. And I'm like, what the is gonna happen?
Mike
Boom.
Lewis
And it blows up. And if you're in the first two, three guys, you don't even know it. Yeah, but, like, the fourth guy back feels all that.
Tyler
Yeah.
Lewis
Yes. It's really strange.
Tyler
Blast wave, like, amplifies off of walls. Like, if you get two blast waves converging, it amplifies. So if you were in a corner or something, you might think, like, oh, we do this a million times. But now because you're in a different corner or whatever, you could be like, right in an area where blast waves are converging and you, like, really screw yourself up.
Lewis
I remember it was sketchy.
Mike
I hate it when blastways converge and name that it, dude.
Tyler
Yeah.
Mike
We are Blastways.
Lewis
What was the word this morning?
Jimmy
What's that?
Lewis
What was the word started with V. Oh, vivisection. Vivisection. The sound, the ways. Vivisect in the corner.
Tyler
That was a medical procedure.
Lewis
It is medical.
Jimmy
See, he knows.
Lewis
He knows I had a vivisectomy and.
Jimmy
He got a vivisectional couch.
Mike
Hey, let's talk. Trump. Trump, Trump. Trumpidocious.
Lewis
Yeah, he threatened to kill all Democrats.
Jimmy
Allegedly.
Mike
The toilet's gone. I can't find it. Let us know in the chat.
Lewis
Hold on.
Mike
Super chat something. If you guys know.
Lewis
I can't read ads, but I can find information.
Mike
Yeah, but apparently Trump. It was pretty. It was like four words. It wasn't.
Tyler
It was.
Mike
I wouldn't even want to say vague. It was pretty direct.
Lewis
It was like, well, that fast. I found it. Everybody just settle down on Twitter. Yeah.
Mike
No, no, you're not on Twitter.
Lewis
I told you to go to World Star, but you were too busy pacing, telling us not to talk.
Jimmy
He was on the phone with important people.
Lewis
A page called or the washing Washington Examiner. A guy responded to them and put hang them. George Washington would.
Mike
Who said that?
Lewis
A tweet came out, okay, talking about Democrats, and Trump retweeted it.
Mike
How does Trump find that?
Lewis
I don't know.
Mike
He's gotta have bot that send crazy. And then it looks like a signal.
Tyler
Group chat with his cabinet. And they're like, trump, check this out, dude.
Jimmy
There's like, bets like, hey, we'll send him this one. Let's see if you retrace it.
Mike
This dumbass will chew anything.
Lewis
But then Trump said on. On Truth Social, he said, serious behavior punishable by death. And then Gavin Newsom got a hold of both of those and said, the President of the United States of America just called for the death of Democrat lawmakers. This man is sick in the head. And then the headline says that the Capitol Police are going to be looking into Trump. And I think, like. I think like, I remember seeing, like, didn't somebody put like, a body of him bleeding with bullet holes in his head on tv? The Democrats. All of a sudden, he makes one joke. I mean, we can take it, dude.
Jimmy
We live in that world. We're like, we can't fucking win no matter what we do. Yeah, I mean, like, you over there, like, hey, Sig is not as bad. And I. It's never gone off and people are like, slaying you.
Lewis
Well, I see that. Where some double wide dances. Trump sent the Epstein files of the moon. The good news is we'd never be able to get them. Because we've never been there.
Jimmy
Allegedly. This guy hates. This guy. Hates heroes. Like Buzz Altered.
Lewis
No, I think he's great. He played a great role. I mean, it's no different than, like, Matthew McConney in a movie. Played a great role, man.
Mike
Bob Hanks did a good job, too.
Jimmy
Kevin Bacon and Bill Paxton.
Mike
Yeah.
Jimmy
Yeah.
Lewis
Tom Hanks flew the moon, saved a ship.
Jimmy
Don't ever go on a trip with Tom Hanks. That's the joke. Like, you know, Castaway, Apollo 13, Joe versus the volcano.
Lewis
Tyler, how tall are you?
Tyler
Six. Six?
Lewis
Yeah, they asked. It's not seven foot. Six. Six. I always end up next to the tall guy.
Mike
I'm like, six, four. Yeah.
Jimmy
This dude walks in here, and I'm 5 11, and I'm like, you're not 5 11.
Lewis
I'm 5 11.
Jimmy
I'm 511 without the boots, dude.
Mike
There. Stand up, Mike, Stand up.
Jimmy
Get the tape measure.
Mike
All right. Mike's 5 11.
Lewis
Never claim to be 6 foot.
Jimmy
Yeah.
Tyler
I can't tell from here, Jimmy.
Mike
You're 510 at best with boots on.
Tyler
It's not looking good, Jimmy.
Jimmy
Okay. Okay.
Mike
The DMV lied.
Jimmy
The army lied to me. I've been saying, I. It doesn't matter. I'm married. Life doesn't matter, guys.
Mike
Life doesn't matter.
Lewis
This what happened. All those sniper shots you took, you compressed your body.
Jimmy
You were.
Lewis
You were 61, and then.
Jimmy
It might be something more than that. It might be just like.
Lewis
Another Marine, right?
Mike
Yeah.
Lewis
All right.
Jimmy
It might just be how much we wore the rock, and I'm just shrinking.
Mike
Jimmy just tried lying to us and saying he was five.
Jimmy
Yeah.
Mike
Yeah.
Lewis
What are you, six, two.
Jimmy
Five, nine? Yeah.
Mike
Really?
Lewis
Yeah. Because Jimmy, six.
Tyler
Yeah.
Mike
He's like, really?
Jimmy
Hey, I'm over here building people up.
Lewis
You guys are all building them up.
Jimmy
You're over here tearing everybody down.
Lewis
He's five' six, and he's definitely taller than Jimmy.
Matt
I'm five' seven, man.
Lewis
Jesus.
Mike
I. I kind of realized he's stout. Dude, you're. Are you jacked?
Lewis
He's. He's secret jacked.
Mike
He wears double X shirt.
Lewis
He's the guy that wears a double X shirt in the gym, and you catch him with his shirt off. You're like, you. You're.
Mike
I was standing there at St. In St. Pete the other weekend, and I'm looking at your traps like. I'm like, I'm not gay, but, dude.
Lewis
That'S how he describes. He said, who's coming? He said, the guy with the huge trap.
Mike
I said, Matt, it was the dude with the ban.
Matt
I used to power lift and I was actually trying to. To go pro with it and I tore my pec and rehabbing that. And you know, man, I was doing certain things to get. Yeah, I got fired for back on that. You know, I started drinking again, started dating a girl and.
Lewis
Is it. Isn't that the word? Like lifting? People think, Jim, lifting. That is like a serious mental battle. Body dysmorphia and.
Matt
Yeah.
Lewis
Losing the number. You're benching three.
Mike
58.
Jimmy
I know. We went to.
Mike
We went to.
Jimmy
I saw it too.
Mike
Yeah.
Lewis
Well, now we're back. It looks good up there.
Mike
No, it's good up there, but that. Yeah, but look.
Jimmy
Look on. Look on here. Dude, we look like potatoes, man.
Mike
God damn it, Lewis.
Lewis
Anyway, yeah, it's bad. People don't realize how that affects you mentally. No, I don't care about that.
Matt
Yeah, like, that's why I kind of. I started. I was interested in bodybuilding, right. And like everybody. I was like 19 in the Marine Corps bodybuilding, Right. The bro split, all that. And it was one of my corporals that had competed in weightlifting school who got me into powerlifting. And it got less about because I couldn't do bodybuilding with. With the diet, man. Prepping for a show like, I did.
Lewis
One, and it's miserable and a lot.
Matt
Of them are passing away, you know, so it's dangerous. People think it's healthy.
Lewis
It's no.
Matt
Terrible. And powerlifting gets there too, but it's more about just moving weight. You're just recruiting as many muscle fibers.
Lewis
But like your injury with people, what happens is the substances.
Matt
Yeah.
Lewis
Get you strong fast, and the rest of your body can't keep up with it.
Matt
Exactly. Ligaments and tendons.
Jimmy
My whole.
Lewis
This whole arm and shoulder is. I got a convention 370 and it was just. I'm not.
Tyler
I don't.
Lewis
I'm not built like that.
Matt
You take any. You take trt, right? You don't.
Tyler
Any pepper.
Lewis
I did back then.
Mike

Lewis
What?
Matt
Therapeutically?
Lewis
P157TB500 for like the joint. Yeah, I do that.
Mike
Mike just takes vitamin D. I've always liked it.
Lewis
Somebody like a guy in my neighborhood told me about the BPC157 and my knee, and I noticed a considerable.
Jimmy
When we were walking in Home Depot, I was looking at you, I'm like, dude, is your knee okay?
Lewis
It's done. No, it's done. Done. It's bad.
Jimmy
It looked like you were hurting today.
Lewis
I tore my meniscus three times, and I was supposed to have it replaced a year ago for workers comp. And I got out when I separated from the agency, and it's. I don't know what has happened in the last couple weeks, but it's. It's almost there. Time to put me out in the.
Mike
We have got to fix this video quality.
Matt
So.
Jimmy
It's improving, Louis.
Lewis
No, there's not. It's not. It's. This isn't bp.
Mike
I thought you meant the video. It's not.
Lewis
It's bone on bone. I've lost it. It's. There's nothing that. That. It's a replacement. It's either partial or full.
Mike
It's getting worse. Yeah, your knee and the video quality.
Jimmy
Hang on, man. Let me. Let me plug in the. The cord that I made.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jimmy
What do you mean it's not good? He laughed at you. Plugging In a. A Cat 6 cable directly to the. To the router is not going to work.
Lewis
Oh, I thought you were talking about.
Jimmy
Yeah, okay.
Mike
Get him, Louis.
Jimmy
Get him. Jimmy, you want me to bring the cable in here? It'll at least help the bandwidth.

Mike
We're gonna time Jimmy on this cat. Sick. Are you gonna drag it all the way out here? Okay.
Lewis
First time he's ever said that.
Mike
Hate economy. Let's go for the worst.
Tyler
If this cable don't work, we try pour water on it.
Mike
Yeah, I heard that works.
Lewis
Motrin.
Tyler
I usually do that with my phone.
Lewis
Little Motrin and water. Are we bad? Is it still bad?
Mike
It's, like. Looks a little good. Now we got a super chat from Conservative Chocolate. No more juice box comments. The video quality is bad now.
Lewis
Did we say anything? No.
Mike
All right. And then John finally joined the YouTube membership.
Lewis
Beautiful.
Mike
I. I guess.
Lewis
What's going on in there? He's wrestling an alligator.
Mike
I don't. Does that computer have a. An import for it?

Lewis
Oh, yeah.
Matt
Yep.

Lewis
It's Cat 7.
Tyler
All right.
Lewis
The water.
Mike
Oh. Well, we're really sorry about this video quality, guys. This sucks. But. All right.
Tyler
Well, is it because of the videos and stuff playing on the Internet? Maybe?
Mike
It's.
Jimmy
It's normally about bandwidth when you're talking about WI fi.
Tyler
I just blacked out.
Mike
Yeah, I Know, is it possible. Hey, is it possible running that stream is doing it or. No, running that video in the background is doing it?
Lewis
That shouldn't do it.
Mike
I mean, it's possible.
Jimmy
The biggest thing is normally, like, how many devices are connected to the Internet.
Mike
At the same time.
Jimmy
That's normally what kills. It kills your WI fi.
Tyler
I'm not on it.
Mike
We never had issues.
Matt
I probably wouldn't hurt to pause the video, though.
Mike
Yeah, let's pause it. Yeah. We can't play any videos if they.
Lewis
I mean, that Internet speed is. That Internet speed is not hurting.
Jimmy
No, the Internet speed's not.
Lewis
You're gonna fix 7, 10 download and.
Jimmy
Right, but we had the same problem in there.
Lewis
Speed is low.
Jimmy
Yeah, that's the problem.
Lewis
Yeah, you need to upgrade.
Jimmy
Yeah, either that or the Starlink that CC brought out worked.
Mike
Yeah.
Lewis
Anyway, that's it. We're done. Thanks for tuning in the Night Shift.
Jimmy
It wouldn't be a. It wouldn't be our podcast. We didn't have some problem.
Mike
God, man. Usually it gets a little bit better. Maybe it's give the Internet some C4.
Lewis
No, look at that, man.
Matt
What?
Jimmy
That's.
Mike
What.
Jimmy
Yeah.
Mike
Is that what we look like? We look good there.
Jimmy
That's live.
Mike
That doesn't look bad, does it? I don't have my glasses on.
Lewis
It doesn't look like that.
Mike
No.
Jimmy
Let me run it at 1080p.
Lewis
All right.
Jimmy
It's not terrible. It's just not great. Like 480.
Mike
It's not bad.
Jimmy
It's like 480p, actually.
Mike
All right, we're good. It went back. Okay, we're good.
Lewis
It was the Cat 6. It was the computer saw it. It was like you around me.
Mike
Lewis fixed it when you were in there.
Jimmy
Yeah, Lewis fixed it.
Mike
Lewis fixed it. All right. All right, let's play that Twitter video. We can get that rolling off our thing.
Jimmy
Yeah.
Mike
What is this?
Jimmy
So this is. This is urban combat in Ukraine last week.
Mike
All right. We're trying to. What do we call that? We're trying to make us big. Trying to play more military S stuff so we're not just all a bunch of nerd cops. I can't hear anything, though.
Jimmy
Yeah, turn the sound on, Liz, and.
Mike
Start the video over. Poor Lewis. Ukraine.
Jimmy
Yeah, this is Ukraine right now. The weather definitely doesn't look fun. Oh, that's.
Mike
Why are they wearing yellow?
Jimmy
Okay, so.
Mike
Yeah, sorry.
Jimmy
So.
Mike
Oh, wait, hold on. Let's finish. Want to finish. It?
Jimmy
Dude, so they're not even. Holy. They're not even around with clearing rooms.
Mike
They're.
Jimmy
They're. They're like not doing any of the. That we trained. They're not. They're guys from like, you were talking about, like, from the tier one units that had gone over there.
Tyler
Yeah. So, I mean, I just seen some on the Internet, like, earlier this week where there are some guys that do a lot of, like, HRCQB hostage rescue stuff who have been spun up for a long time on Tier 1 type training in that area. And then they went to Ukraine and they started training on, like, the trans warfare and the cqb. You have to do through all the trench stuff, and they're like, it's not even close to the same in real life. Like, a lot of the stuff we're training on does not apply here.
Mike
Really.
Tyler
In real life in trenches.
Mike
Oh, yeah.
Tyler
And so it's like we've been training for the last how many years to get excessively good at this thing. That doesn't really apply right now.
Jimmy
We're not gonna. I mean, it's not like we're not gonna do mount.
Mike
That looks like Stalin grass.
Jimmy
That's not far from Stalingrad.
Mike
That's why World War II.
Lewis
Why?
Tyler
Yeah.
Lewis
What? I thought we. People fought wars over stuff that was good. Like, who wants that building? Well, yeah, like that. That is ridiculous. Like, if you told somebody that was. People are saying it looks like World War II.
Jimmy
So.
Mike
Yeah.
Lewis
You said 20, 25, there would be a war going on in that atmosphere. Yeah.
Jimmy
That building changed hands four times that day. Are you serious? Yeah.
Mike
It's like paintball. Why are they wearing yellow, by the way?
Jimmy
Okay, so. Because they're both basically wearing the same camouflage and they all speak the same language.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jimmy
They can't tell who's who.
Mike
It is like paintball.
Lewis
So they've got this is. This is. That's a sad war. People that speak the same language, we're in the same color. It's like the. It's like a doctor. They're using this, the Horton who's and all that. Like stars upon bars. Like, one has a yellow sign. What does? We're just shooting each other.
Jimmy
So they're using the same weapons. They've got the same kind of camouflage.
Mike
I mean, nobody wants to be.
Lewis
Can you just take the yellow thing off? Be like this.
Jimmy
I'm going over and I actually had a video that I wasn't gonna. I wasn't gonna show where a guy actually did that. A Ukrainian guy sees some Russian guys coming up from behind him, takes his off real quick, talks to him in Russian Waits for them to pass and then blasts them both in the back of the head. Dirty. That's. That's like. I mean, that's, like, technically against the Geneva Convention.
Lewis
Do you think any of those guys standing there could answer the question why they're fighting?
Mike
No. Nobody knows. Fighting because Russia invaded them.
Lewis
Yeah, but I mean.
Mike
I mean, that's why Russia's there, because Putin said so.
Lewis
It's bad.
Tyler
A lot. A lot of the Russians that are there fighting are fighting because, like, a lot of the officers have been promised, like, a good life after the war. Like, hey, if you do X amount of years in this war, you get a house for the rest of your life, whatever. And then a lot of the lower enlisted at this point were, like, prisoners and exiles and people who are like, you're gonna fight?
Lewis
Yeah. They don't have it. There's no. With Putin in charge, there's no, like, hey, I'm done.
Jimmy
I'm going home. I liked.
Mike
I. I. Putin.
Jimmy
Putin.
Lewis
Putin.
Mike
No, his name's. No. Has anybody ever pronounced his name Putin?
Jimmy
Probably George W. Bush, ladies and gentlemen.
Mike
I can whisper.
Lewis
I tell you, we're not raising the.
Jimmy
Taxes, and we're going to deal with that.
Lewis
He's Putin where I come from.
Mike
Can we. Can we make that a shirt?
Lewis
P E, W, P U, T I.
Mike
N, P E, W T I N, no.
Lewis
P E. Yeah, yeah.
Jimmy
Can we put a tinfoil hat on it?
Lewis
Yeah.
Mike
Yeah. That is a sad one. I got.
Jimmy
I got more, man. I just sent another one to the. To the.
Lewis
Install over. Don't overdo, Lewis.
Jimmy
Yeah, I don't want to overdo.
Mike
It's gonna.
Lewis
Lighten it up a little bit. Oh, go into the videos, Lewis. We're gonna go back and forth, me and Jimmy, all night long.
Mike
Okay.
Lewis
Just like last week.
Mike
In a healthy environment.
Lewis
Where's the one I want? Right, that sign. The one. The lady with the next one. There you go.
Jimmy
I'm not gonna sit here and argue with you. My kids had to come by and see this. How would you expect.
Lewis
Explain it to her. Recording. I'm recording right here.
Jimmy
I am telling you right now, if.
Lewis
My kids had to come by and see this, I would like to hear how you would explain to my children what you're supposed to be.
Mike
Pause it real quick.
Lewis
So that costume was bought at Spirit Halloween. It's a Spirit Halloween penis costume. Okay, and now watch what happens to her.
Mike
Wait, is this police body cam?
Lewis
This is a body cam of an officer. This is during the no Kings protest, and he's upset that she's dressed like a penis that was bought.
Mike
So he went and did this himself.
Lewis
Yeah, he's complaining about her costume.
Mike
Was it. Was this a call for something?
Lewis
I don't know, but it's still. It's still a. It's still a. It's still a costume that was bought at Spirit Hollow.
Mike
Okay. All right.
Tyler
My kids.
Lewis
Keep going.
Jimmy
I. No, I want you.
Lewis
Let me get another unit over here.
Mike
I need another unit to tell me.
Lewis
I want you to tell me why the penis is running.
Mike
Put the camera on him. He's narrating. There you go. On your belly.
Jimmy
I told her to take it off. Give me your arm.
Lewis
Give me your arm. Give me your. That's it. Stop it.
Mike
So a penis took off on foot?
Lewis
Yeah.
Mike
Yeah. I'm in pursuit of a penis.
Lewis
Grabbed it by the. Grabbed it by the foreskin and took the penis to the ground.
Mike
Oh, to me.
Lewis
That is right up there to me, with the Sean Reyes auditor videos. That dude has lost his mind. Now, the story was over there to the right. We're looking into it. We're doing the. Come on, man. Come on, man. He felt.
Mike
He fell for that.
Lewis
You want to end up on the Alabama News right after a Putin video because of a lady in a penis costume hurt your feelings?
Mike
Yeah.
Lewis
I can tell you right now, all kids could drive by that have no idea what the. That lady dress does. I didn't know it was a penis till they said it.
Jimmy
It looked like.
Lewis
Yeah, just a big, classic thing.
Jimmy
The biggest is, are you sure that, like, Diglett from the Pokemon.
Mike
I'm Diglet the Pokemon.
Lewis
I then firmly grabbed the penis and took it to the ground.
Mike
I need another unit.
Lewis
I just.
Mike
I mean, this is talking back.
Lewis
I just don't understand why that's. That's the one.
Jimmy
But, I mean, like, the other part of that, though, is, like, dude, you're in an inflatable costume dressed as a penis. You're gonna run from the cops.
Lewis
She actually didn't run. She was never told she was detained.
Jimmy
He's like.
Lewis
He's basically scolding her. There's no legal legality to scolding somebody. Like, I can walk up to a homeless guy and go, well, you're an idiot for being home. Like, doesn't mean he's detained. She basically says, are you done? Basically, Are you done, you know, scolding me? I'm leaving. Yeah, she's turned around, and I don't. Is she detained? I mean, that's where I would. I would say, I don't think she Committed a crime.
Jimmy
I don't think that. I mean, freedom of speech. I mean, we're all for freedom.
Mike
I mean, Matt, do you want your, your cops out there arresting inflatable penis people, or would you rather be out there doing actual.
Matt
Yeah, I'd much rather than be doing.
Mike
Get like guns.
Jimmy
Yeah, Yeah.
Matt
I mean, everybody's an inflatable at those, right? And if you have kids, it's a Pokemon.
Jimmy
They got videos of marines in those inflatable T. Rex costumes, fire machine guns at the Taliban.
Mike
I'm a diglett. That's from Pokemon.
Lewis
I just, I, I, I. Cops getting that wound up about something, it just blows my mind. Like, that's what got you worked up that day. That's the reason you wanted to make the news. Like, of all the things you could have made the news for an inflatable penis, Alabama, where was her?
Jimmy
Where was this guy's sergeant to be.
Mike
Like, dude, they're not with them. Like, they're like, in the military. You're as a Joe, you're an arm's reach from your sergeant.
Lewis
Yeah, these guys. Sergeant could be four hours away. It's just, I mean, I mean, but.
Jimmy
You were, you were a sergeant. Wouldn't you have, like, talked to your guys?
Mike
Be like, all right, guys.
Jimmy
Before that? Be like, all right, guys, we're gonna go out.
Mike
Well, you don't think to think inflatable penises at rallies, like, people are going.
Jimmy
To do things that are going to piss you off. Don't fall for it.
Mike
You're right. Cops need, that's fair. Cops need Friday night briefings like soldiers do.
Lewis
They need to do it.
Mike
We need to be like, guys, this county just tackled an inflatable penis on Friday. Don't do that.
Lewis
Yes.
Mike
All right. Like, if.
Lewis
Well, that's why watching videos is important.
Mike
Yeah, it is. Like, this should be a briefing video.
Jimmy
Correct.
Lewis
And it goes with it. To me, it falls right under the same category as the auditors. Like, you go out there. I saw another one today, Reyes, same thing. The dude's telling them, you can't video. You're not. It's illegal. And it's like, how many of these videos are on the Internet that cops still don't know? It's not illegal to video them. Like, they keep telling people, you can't video me. It's illegal. And it's like, bro, you look so stupid. Like, you didn't bother learning the basic law. And here, I mean, even if it's a call for service, the way he starts out with the scolding what would my kids. Nobody gives. Honestly, 23 years. Nobody gives a what your kids would think. That doesn't apply to the statute. That doesn't apply to the law. Your kids may think one thing. Kids over here might be shooting the bird and driving a car at 4 years old.
Mike
Yeah. I think it's funny as hell.
Lewis
Yeah. So it's like, what does that. So he's being condescending, and he's being argumentative, and he's creating the riff instead of just enforcing the law or saying there's nothing to do. You can. You can absolutely wear that. If Spirit Halloween sells it, you can wear it.
Matt
Yeah.
Mike
Conservative Chocolate super chats. A couple of them said, guy next to Mike is a fed, the chat says. And then he also said Mike was scolding the homeless wife. Steve, double wide dance, brother. Said, Mike, your. Your coconuts are daisy, dude.
Lewis
I know you can't see that.
Mike
I promise.
Jimmy
Jesus Christ. I promise, Mike, don't go.
Lewis
No, that's not five. Eleven. That's. That's four. Two.
Jimmy
I would never put you.
Mike
Are those sweatpant materials?
Lewis
They're like. Yeah, they're stretchy.
Mike
What the are you wearing?
Lewis
They're comfortable, dude. I wear them. I'm comfortable.
Jimmy
There's silence.
Tyler
You've got to show his legs off, dude.
Mike
Oh, they're kind of like stretchy jeans.
Jimmy
Yeah.
Tyler
Stretchy buns.
Lewis
Is it okay, Everybody okay with what I'm wearing?
Tyler
I'm good with it.
Jimmy
I never had any problems.
Mike
The way you were sitting. They were all jacked. They did kind of look like short shorts.
Tyler
I'm good with it.
Lewis
Who's looking? You weren't.
Mike
Tyler's like, I'm not.
Matt
I'm not.
Mike
I'm not gay.
Lewis
Wasn't looking.
Jimmy
And. And we're potato quality anyway, so who.
Lewis
Single wide.
Mike
We're back to potato quality.
Lewis
Single wide. Steve was looking. That's what happened. The pit camera got zoomed in and they like.
Mike
Well, not clearly not with this quality. You can't see God. Well, we gotta wait for it to clear up for another video go.
Lewis
I'm going to the pizza shop.
Jimmy
Oh, man.
Mike
They're closed, dude.
Lewis
Oh, yeah.
Mike
Are we back? No, no, no.
Lewis
I watch this show. These three guys, four guys said, I'm talking about. We're back. We're not back. Putin was involved. One guy had coconuts.
Mike
H. All right. Well, I never thought I'd see a cop tackle a inflatable penis in my life, but there it is. There it is.
Jimmy
Didn't have that on my 2025 bingo. Yeah. So what else?
Lewis
What else?
Mike
I just don't want to play a video while it's all.
Jimmy
I know.
Mike
Like, I mean it. Who cares? You guys care.
Lewis
Lewis doesn't care.
Mike
I'm just trying to find out what's going on. Lewis is working behind the scenes. He's working diligently.
Jimmy
Guys, I. I've turned off the WI fi on my phone just to save bandwidth. Yeah, just to try and save bandwidth.
Mike
You'Re to take away from your footprint.
Jimmy
Yeah, I'm trying.
Lewis
I downgraded to the dial up package. I'm trying to take you guys here. It's the uploads.
Mike
Yeah, Rob O'. Neill, the 25 million dollar lawsuit. We had to go with the lower provider.
Tyler
She got dial up.
Jimmy
It's. It's one of those old screechy modems.
Lewis
Let's go. That one right there. This one here is. This is. They said the doctors and scientists had a shootout and. Go ahead, play this.
Mike
What? Oh, yeah.
Lewis
Now that doesn't look much different.
Mike
You can hear the gunshots. Multiple rounds, and you're looking at two shooters. Fox 5 News just obtained this video within the last hour or so. There are multiple surveillance cameras in the area. This angle, different video now shows the victims. We're freezing the video right before they fall.
Lewis
After those bullets came.
Mike
It all happens on Saturday. Five people shot, two killed here on the corner of Chancellor A and Leslie street in Newark. That is. That is a military battle. That is a. That. Those are the number of casualties in an actual military.
Lewis
So that's going on in Newark.
Mike
New five shot, two dead.
Lewis
They're worried about Sal D up in Jersey. For what? For nothing. We got going on.
Jimmy
We got straight up daily. First of all, like, I like how they would, like, always hop after every shot. That's real tactics right. Right there.
Lewis
The headline I got from it.
Tyler
Let me read it.
Lewis
Since our quality video sucks. The headline on that video said on November 15, 2025, surveillance footage captured the moments two engineers walked up Chancellor Avenue in Newark and opened fire on a group of doctors standing outside a liquor stow.
Mike
No, they.
Lewis
Yeah, that's what it says. That was a caption.
Mike
They were. That was the astronaut Club. That was. They were all going to their. To their banquet to raise their education.
Lewis
Astronauts versus doctors. That's going on in New Jersey. And they're worried about indicting cops for, like.
Tyler
It just.
Lewis
None of it makes sense.
Tyler
The reason their casualty counts are so high is because they're standing in the open.
Jimmy
I mean, like, nobody crazy. Well, again, like the fact that they're hitting anybody is a miracle.
Tyler
They're standing next to a concrete light pole. Like I'll stand out in the open instead.
Mike
I don't understand what's that, what's happening? Have you guys had.
Lewis
Orlando had a wild one the other day.
Mike
Really?
Lewis
Did you see that one?
Mike
No.
Lewis
Holy.
Mike
I don't.
Jimmy
I forgot about that one deal in Orlando.
Lewis
They, the SWAT team hit like a tattoo. It was bad.
Mike
Oh yeah, I did see that.
Lewis
Yeah, yeah, it was wild. Let me find it. Good. You guys keep playing games.
Jimmy
Keep playing.
Mike
Dude. We're playing eight bit video games.
Jimmy
Winning stupid prizes tonight.
Tyler
It's a style.
Mike
It looks clear on YouTube on the screen, but my phone looks like a bag of ass. Ass.
Jimmy
Mine does too. 1080p quality and it's like potato.
Mike
Yeah. Okay, so let me ask you this. You get, you get a AR pistol, you put a sight on it, you zero it in and you just take a couple marksmanship in courses. You know how much damage you could do over that. What they're doing right there. I was thinking out in the open, just like, like even get behind some cover, you, you peel out from a wall.
Jimmy
Yeah.
Mike
And you start laying accurate shots down, man, you'd. Dude, Roy, if you were one of.
Tyler
Those guys, you could watch like 30 minutes of YouTube on tactics.
Jimmy
You could also, I mean like how many YouTubers are out there go to play paintball and the paintballers are going to give you better tactics than.
Tyler
You probably don't even have to zero your optic at that point. You're so close.
Jimmy
What optic?
Matt
That's the thing, man. A lot they don't go to the range, man. So you know one of the real.
Jimmy
To the range when you're not supposed to have a gun in the first place.
Matt
Yeah. You know, I mean, it depends on how many clients.
Mike
How many of your clients aren't allowed to have guns.
Matt
They still do, but like, I mean I've had to do a lot of crazy working in hip hop, man.
Mike
Can you bring the mic closer? Yeah, a little closer.
Matt
Not, not a lot of legal, but yeah, one of the things I did, I took a lot of artists for, for content reasons and for practical reasons to the range.
Mike
Range.
Jimmy
Like, hey, dude, if we get into.
Matt
A gun fight and I'm not some like marksmanship expert or anything, but you know, just basic. They don't know like what zeroing a rifle in is, but they have six of them.
Jimmy
Yeah.
Matt
You fire with them stances. Terrible. And then you know, the homies, they're, they're not going to the range, man. They're. They're doing what they got to do to make money.
Mike
By homies, you mean your friends, But.
Matt
I'm talking, like, the artists circle.
Tyler
In.
Matt
In a lot of ways. So, you know. But then you get certain guys that are, like, all about it, and they're. They're locked in and they have tactics, and then a lot. And a lot of guys, too, go into the military and purposely pop on a piss test, like a year in, get their training, and they go back and. And teach everybody what they learned. That is really. This absolutely happens.
Jimmy
I had a guy in my unit. I won't say his name, but that he was. He was from Chicago.
Mike
Can you please let me know his name?
Tyler
Name?
Lewis
No, not.
Jimmy
Not on.
Lewis
On.
Mike
No, just first name only. Let's take bets. His first name bets. What do you think this guy's first name?
Lewis
I'm three jokes deep in canceling us. What would you.
Mike
What would you guess this gentleman's name is?
Tyler
Glenn.
Mike
Glenn.
Tyler
Yeah.
Mike
Okay, Mike, what would you guess his name is?
Tyler
I'm safe.
Mike
I was gonna go with. With. Oh, man. Let me. I. I don't. It doesn't sound like Tyrone. It sounds like Jamarcus.
Matt
What? What? The dude from the video.
Jimmy
His name was Keith.
Mike
Ah, what the hell, dude.
Tyler
I was closest. I win.
Mike
I win.
Lewis
What was his middle name?
Mike
Tyrone?
Lewis
I don't know.
Jimmy
I didn't look at his dog.
Tyler
Dad. Keith.
Mike
Keith the killer.
Jimmy
I mean, the thing that was the joke. It was like, keith, you've probably been in more gunfights than all of us. Yeah, because he grew up in Chicago.
Mike
Oh, yeah.
Matt
Chicago's no joke, man.
Jimmy
Yeah, it ain't no joke. I mean, kids are, like, strapping up like it's Fallujah out there.
Matt
Yeah, Chicago's a wild place, too. You'll be on one street and they'll tell you you're good on this street. And if you park, if you even go right to the intersection, bust a left or a right, it's like drive by shooting someone cracks your car window. But this street's cool. Just don't stand outside on it too long.
Jimmy
Well, we know where the cops should be.
Matt
Chicago is wild, man. You don't know where crossing a certain boundary, it's nuts, man. La. At least you can kind of know the lay of the land, know how to move around, you know, talk to the right people and just know kind of what's going on. But Chicago, man, it's a great city, though. In the summertime, downtown. Awesome.
Lewis
But it's gotten bad all the way up into, like, where the bean is and all that.
Mike
There's.
Lewis
There was a bunch of shootings there. It's kind of spilled everywhere at this point.
Matt
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I don't. I don't go that often, but, you know, I did a lot of touring, and, I mean, I always love going to Chicago, but there's always, you know, there's a certain threat every time.
Mike
Time.
Matt
That's a real one.
Lewis
Like, if you look at the app and you look at some of those counties have.
Matt
And then every rapper wants to go to Oblock. Every single one. O Block is where Chief Keef's from. That's like the famous hood.
Mike
They have, like, venues there and stuff?
Matt
No, they just want to go and take a picture and be like, I pulled up to O block. I'm out in Chicago. Or they just want to see it.
Lewis
Who's Chief Rapper?
Matt
Yeah, Chief Keith.
Lewis
Chief Keef.
Mike
Guarantee you nobody like listening.
Tyler
He's the chief of police for.
Jimmy
They got colors and everything.
Matt
So, yeah.
Lewis
I have it. I have a traumatic. I've told it. I took an Uber trying to get to the. The what the was the name of the show in Chicago. We're back.
Tyler
We're cleared up.
Matt
We're back.
Jimmy
Nice.
Lewis
What was the show? The show in Chicago. The Netflix. The long one.
Jimmy
Chicago pd, Chicago Fire. Chicago. There was a lot.
Lewis
Frank Gallagher.
Matt
I don't know.
Lewis
Oh, my God.
Tyler
Oh, I know what you're talking about.
Mike
Yeah.
Lewis
Anyway.
Mike
American.
Tyler
No, I'll think of it in 15 minutes.
Lewis
Anyway, there's a house in Chicago where. I can't believe I can't remember this. This is definitely dementia documentary series.
Jimmy
No, no, it's. Not to mention my show ever.
Lewis
It's the best show on Netflix ever.
Jimmy
It's all those extractionary blows.
Lewis
The Shameless. Shameless.
Mike
Shameless.
Lewis
So the house is down in the south side of Chicago, so I wanted to go to it. Well, I'm wearing a giant's hoodie, red, and I put the wrong address in, and I get dropped off in the south side by Comisky park, where the White Sox play. And the Uber driver looks at me and he can't let me back in because you have to rebook. And he's like, good luck, man. He's like, I would. I wouldn't go too far with that sweatshirt on. So I, like, stood in the corner of a building, like, re Ubering, and it was like, the hood.
Mike
You couldn't take it off. Off.
Lewis
I was 20 degrees out. Was the only Thing I had on Giant. I'm in the middle of winter. It was January.
Jimmy
I mean, well, I mean, if you're a certain person, you might go get a subway.
Lewis
I was like, let me.
Jimmy
Let me know what I'm talking about.
Matt
I'll be honest, though. You would probably be all right for the most part.
Jimmy
Like, I.
Matt
You probably be okay. Yeah. Honestly, like. Like, honestly, you probably be okay, but. Yeah, I mean, you just.
Lewis
It was sketchy. There was just nobody around, and it was like, here I am in the middle of this parking lot, this big red sweatshirt on.
Jimmy
Can we just talk about the fact that Matt seems to just talk with, like, you know, in this bad neighborhood, you.
Lewis
He's got the card. He's been there.
Matt
I've been doing this a while, man.
Jimmy
I. I mean, I'm just impressed by your.
Mike
Like, you ever got held up, the first thing you do is go. Hold on. Do you know rhymes? Here's my card.
Matt
Yeah, I mean.
Mike
Feeling the feel.
Lewis
You get held up, the first thing.
Jimmy
You show is go. Move in.
Lewis
Move in, boys. Move in. Yeah, take them down. Go, go, go.
Jimmy
Red team, go.
Matt
I mean, honestly, I'm kind of interested to see what some clients think of me doing this.
Lewis
Yeah, you're done. I wouldn't go back to O block if I were you, right? Dude, don't go to OH block.
Mike
That's what I do.
Matt
I do the business side of it, man. At the end of the day, if I'll be where I need to be, I think, and I want to see these guys win, I'll be real honest. The. The artists that I work with are all genuinely good people.
Jimmy
I don't.
Matt
I don't have anything bad to say about.
Mike
Honestly. I think if you told them, like, listen, I. Beforehand, I was a marine green. Oh, yeah. This type of stuff is like, what was smoke pit talk? A lot of these, all these guys are vets and, you know, a couple of them are cops that are not cops anymore and they actually call out police work nowadays. I think they'd be like, all right.
Matt
I don't think they care.
Tyler
Yeah, but the chat already thinks I'm a fed. So now they're gonna think I'm on to be down here with a fed.
Lewis
Tomorrow morning at 8 o', clock, you wake up, up, you call Spectrum and you tell them. You tell them you want to upgrade to the highest possible Internet service they have here. If we have to have, like, what's that thing that spins around over in Europe?
Tyler
Ferris wheel.
Lewis
No particles flying around.
Jimmy
Oh, the large hadron collider yeah, we.
Lewis
Have to get that kind of speed.
Mike
Yeah, Jimmy.
Jimmy
The Large Hadron Collider.
Lewis
Yeah.
Jimmy
Yeah.
Matt
You said that like it was not the larger.
Lewis
I knew it was. I just didn't know what it was. That's where they send particles at.
Mike
Need.
Lewis
Basically what it is is the particles move at the speed of light. Yeah, yeah, we need that. You tell them we want that.
Jimmy
We need Large Hadron.
Lewis
I don't think our upload speed is good.
Mike
You just checked it on your phone.
Jimmy
Yeah.
Lewis
The upload is not downloaded.
Jimmy
Upload is dog.
Lewis
Yeah.
Jimmy
Spectrum is notoriously bad because they don't have any, they don't have any competition.
Lewis
That was that Wednesday Mike voice. You hear that? Oh, that was that Wednesday Mike voice. They're very bad.
Mike
That was you this morning.
Lewis
I was very calm this morning.
Mike
A lot of time. Mike.
Jimmy
We're gonna do the asmr.
Mike
And it's like, Mike. Ah, man. Go over there and punch. Give him a Charlie or get him mad. Let's watch a really low quality.
Lewis
Lewis is trying to move this show along. He's like, these.
Jimmy
Guys just knock it off.
Lewis
Go to the one.
Mike
He probably, he probably sits back there and flicks you off behind the screen.
Lewis
Video.
Tyler
Not now that we're back for you. My quality. Let's watch a video.
Lewis
Nine up in the middle there. There you go. Don't, don't go anywhere. This a good one, huh? It's a good one.
Jimmy
Don't go. All right.
Lewis
Wait till he gets back. Jimmy talk.
Jimmy
Oh, okay. Well, let's see. We had some. We had an interesting day today, Mike.
Lewis
Yeah, we did.
Jimmy
We, I mean, it was kind of a wild ride. I don't know how much we want to say, but we got reached out to.
Lewis
Oh, yeah, no.
Jimmy
Okay.
Lewis
We had somebody in the US Government reach out.
Matt
Right.
Lewis
Hey, God's honest truth for everybody in here. God's honest truth. We had a member of the United States government reach out to us and want to come up on. So we're on in the process of deciding if we want to do that or not. But.
Jimmy
And then we talked to a friend of ours.
Lewis
Yeah, we talked to another person. That's in the headlines a lot.
Jimmy
And then we, we talked about how people in tier one units lie in their after action reviews.
Lewis
Oh, boy. Oh, boy. I, I, I didn't say that.
Tyler
They said it.
Jimmy
They said it.
Lewis
They did say out of their own mouth.
Mike
Yeah, yeah.
Jimmy
We don't always tell the truth in our after action review.
Lewis
Look how bad that is, dude.
Mike
I know.
Jimmy
It's like Potato vision.
Lewis
Oh, my God.
Tyler
Dude, is our audio still good at least?
Jimmy
The audio's.
Mike
It's just a camera. Oh. Because you can see in the logo. It's still high quality.
Jimmy
Oh, so it's a camera issue.
Tyler
So it's because I'm a fed, so I have to have my face censored out. Okay, we just censored the whole podcast.
Lewis
Okay, well, then we need that wire. You're wearing that rf. The RF on the wire.
Jimmy
So, I mean, we. Let's see.
Mike
We.
Jimmy
And then we went. We.
Mike
We're.
Jimmy
We're in the process of looking at how to renovate the studio.
Lewis
Yeah, we're gonna start with the Internet.
Jimmy
Yeah, we're gonna start with that. Because clearly that needs to be rectified. Now I'm over here. Like, my AV brain is clicking and I gotta stop that. Oh, we had a lot of people.
Lewis
So he's saying. Actually, that's. There you go.
Jimmy
There it is.
Lewis
Gone. Yeah, Interesting enough. He's saying, when we play videos, it's clear. So that's not the stream. Did you hear that?
Jimmy
Did you hear that?
Mike
It's the camera.
Lewis
The camera is messed up. When we're playing videos, they're seeing. The video clears as we're seeing it.
Tyler
And the stickers on the screen, the camera.
Mike
If all three change angles right now, Lewis gets kind of lazy and leaves.
Tyler
It's the feed from the cameras to the computer.
Matt
Why?
Mike
Okay, why isn't it switching on YouTube right now?
Jimmy
It is.
Mike
Okay.
Tyler
It's slow.
Lewis
Something is wrong. Good.
Tyler
I'm telling you, pour water on.
Matt
Let's see.
Mike
So how is that? Interesting.
Jimmy
Interesting indeed.
Tyler
Play the video.
Jimmy
Oh, yeah.
Mike
This.
Jimmy
To do, but it ain't nowhere. Oh.
Tyler
Why wouldn't he get in the front?
Jimmy
Save his life.
Matt
Atlanta.
Jimmy
I can't read what it says.
Lewis
Bro has the work.
Tyler
I mean, in the entire world now.
Jimmy
You got me now, dog.
Mike
That sucks, dude. What was the deal with the music?
Lewis
Music?
Mike
I don't know. Sometimes I think, like, thugs. Was that in his car playing?
Matt
I think it's because the song's crossroads. So I think be at the crossroads, you know?
Mike
Okay, we've got to do something about this static ips.
Jimmy
That's what I'm reading. I keep reading all this AV stuff and I'm like, what the. Oh, man. That's right, that's right, that's right.
Lewis
It works in the morning.
Mike
No, sometimes. Remember in the last last week we had a.
Jimmy
So there's. There's people saying, hey, we need to set static ips and let's See, audio's good.
Mike
Where was it?
Lewis
There was something.
Jimmy
There was something else that, like, immediately grabbed my attention.
Tyler
WI Fi. IP cameras.
Jimmy
Yeah, yeah. WI Fi. Ip.
Mike
Well, the cameras aren't WI fi. They're plugged in.
Matt
Yeah, I was gonna say I ain't.
Mike
Check the cabling, but it wouldn't be every single camera. It would just be.
Jimmy
Yeah, we've got issues on every single.
Lewis
One of those cords is like not high speed or something.
Mike
Them. They're all hdmi.
Jimmy
Well, we have to want to figure that out.
Mike
I mean, we've done the same setup for every night shift.
Jimmy
Yeah, we're. Now we're encountering problems. But you. I mean, up. Upload speeds. Trash right now.
Mike
So how are the. How were the incident.
Lewis
Yeah, the videos wouldn't play. It's something to do with the cameras.
Jimmy
So all of this started when we came in that day and we had had Internet problems. Remember, it was down, and we had to go in and they had to do something, right?
Mike
Did they do something?
Jimmy
They. The guy said he did.
Mike
The guy said he did. Well, I mean, hey, guys, I did something.
Jimmy
Yeah, I mean, he. He was like, hey, I put in a new freaking buckets on the table over there. So we. We came in one morning, and the Internet was completely down. We couldn't figure out what it is. And I had to pull a piece out just to troubleshoot it. It went. Came back up, up. And then he's like, hey, we got to do this. And I'm like, all right, cool. And he did it. And we're like, we're good to go. And that's when the problem started. So I'm wondering if maybe there's a built.
Lewis
I wonder if there's. Because if when you're using streamyard and the camera. Like, I use an iPhone. Mine is. It's Bluetooth, and it's always quality. Maybe something over there is not up to technology.
Mike
There's nothing up there that wasn't bought brand new. You.
Lewis
Bet.
Mike
Where the Is Justin? He's in this chat every time until we need him.
Jimmy
Yeah.
Mike
All right, go to another video.
Lewis
Go to running out.
Mike
Running, Running out.
Jimmy
We got more. I got. I can send more. I'm sure Mike's got a few more, too.
Lewis
Here's a great recruiting video. That's a good one.
Tyler
Play that.
Lewis
Hey.
Mike
Hey. How's it going? Edge Water?
Tyler
Doing well.
Mike
Ready for some rap fire question? Let's do it. All right. What unit are you in? I'm in the criminal investigation division. And how long have you been with The Winter Park Police. I've been with Winter park for about eight years now.
Tyler
Oh, Winter Park. O.
Mike
Definitely D.C. and I know you ride horses.
Lewis
So English or Western? Only Western.
Mike
Favorite board game O Warhammer 40K.
Jimmy
Love my great nights. Yeah, I'll be right here for community night out.
Mike
And should people check out, definitely. Come check our detectives booth. We'll have a special activity for you guys.
Lewis
How much does everything cost?
Jimmy
Everything is free, so come on by.
Mike
Thanks, detectives. Thank you. Okay, so I. So I watched this video. Put it on me. So at least it gets a little bit of clarity.
Lewis
Yeah, it's definitely post video clarity.
Mike
Yeah. So I watched this video. There was three comments that stuck out to me. First off, he moves like a GTA character actor in the middle of a monologue. Right. Second was, this guy's dressed like geeky blinders. It's like some homo trying to be Thomas Shelby. The third one was the most, like, legit one that says, who is this video for who? And the first off, the comment section in a video like that is ruthless. They're like, yeah, what the is I.
Lewis
Get tagged pretty quick.
Mike
And, like, there's always one old lady that's, like, this amazing. We love our police officers, but, God, that guy was a dork. And I'm telling you, the detectives aren't cool. And I don't have to tell you, that guy showed it.
Lewis
It's bad. I know. I got. That's one of the ones that got sent to me a hundred times and I posted on my story.
Jimmy
We don't claim him in the Warhammer 40K community.
Mike
It's just, he's too nerdy.
Tyler
We're usually way cooler than that.
Lewis
I swear, I can't imagine recording that. And you're, like, getting ready to upload it.
Jimmy
This is gonna be great.
Lewis
This is it. This is the one. This is the one.
Mike
I am a detective.
Lewis
Yeah, somebody. One of the comments on my page was like, his hands. His hands made me extremely uncomfortable.
Jimmy
The way.
Lewis
But we talk about policing. Like, can you imagine that guy in, like, a homicide investigation? Or like, in the hood, in Q Q town. O town, trying to interview some dude on the side of the street. Like, it's not happening. Yeah, it's not happening. You can. That guy could never, never interview a juvenile black male. No, it's impossible.
Mike
He was a door. He was a dork on the road. They're dorks all the time on the road. He put in for detective. Got it. And now he gets to geek out in his douche wardrobe.
Lewis
He's got the hat, dude.
Matt
God, he could catch some people off guard. Yeah, that's about it.
Lewis
Yeah. If you saw him in like a park bathroom, you might. Might think he's there for some. Something like, you know. Yeah, but yeah, I mean, I guess like undercover. But I mean, you're not gonna get anywhere with him interviewing some.
Matt
I don't think so. No, I doubt it.
Mike
Should we start just unplugging? I don't know. This shit's pissing me off.
Jimmy
It's pissing me off too, because I.
Mike
Just watch everybody here still hanging out with us and that's amazing.
Lewis
We appreciate it. Unfortunately, we're. What a low rent operation.
Mike
What? What you say?
Jimmy
Oh, I was just. I was watching it on the screen and I'm like, dude, the video is playing great, but our video looks like trash.
Mike
What should. Lewis, what do you think in your professional opinion we should do right now?
Lewis
Go home.
Jimmy
N. We're not doing that.
Lewis
So after the stream ends, we should.
Matt
Like take a look.
Lewis
And what about.
Mike
What about right.
Jimmy
What can we do right now?
Lewis
Just keep going and nothing breaks.
Jimmy
Is there any settings that we can change on the. Between the cameras?
Mike
Like, what happens if we unplug the switcher and plug it back in? We're gonna lose video, but it'll come back. I like, this is which one? Things.
Lewis
There's no way all this is legit. Dude, look at that.
Mike
It's fine.
Lewis
It's fine. I'm the messiest person here and it doesn't look fine.
Tyler
I think we look good right now.
Matt
It looks good now.
Tyler
Yeah.
Mike
Are we back?
Jimmy
Let's see. Let's wait a second.
Tyler
Better than before now.
Lewis
We're completely disconnected now.
Mike
Oh, oh, wait, wait, wait. Can they hear us?
Lewis
Yeah, they can hear us.
Jimmy
Like, don't do that.
Lewis
Don't touch anything now. We're done.
Jimmy
Yeah, Cece, we. We talked about your. Are we off?
Mike
No, no, we're still on.
Jimmy
Yeah, cc we. We did address for super chats. He just came back in the chat.
Lewis
I told you, it's about I idea.
Mike
Well, Lewis, I didn't say do it. I said what would. What should we do?
Matt
And I said do it in the end.
Lewis
Yeah, he did.
Jimmy
Yeah, he did.
Mike
And I didn't say unplug it. Well, this is a problem.
Lewis
Can we go to like one camera? No, no, no, one camera works just.
Mike
Like all plugged into a switcher mic.
Lewis
All right, man.
Tyler
If you guys can see what Tyler's doing right now. Holy cow.
Lewis
It ain't probably coming back.
Jimmy
Dude, we. Yeah, it'll come back.
Lewis
Back.
Mike
No, it won't. Oh, you can't do like that.
Jimmy
What?
Mike
Oh, the. The thing. Is it even not. Is there power going to the switcher? Is the switcher on?
Jimmy
Yeah, it's.
Tyler
The lights are on.
Jimmy
Oh, man.
Mike
So let's mark that in the book of things never to do again. Just unplug the entire interface from the computer. Oh, my God.
Lewis
We wanted radio. Here we are. This is the radio version of the.
Mike
Oh, man.
Lewis
Night Shift. It's very dark, as you can see.
Jimmy
If you don't laugh, you'll cry, man.
Lewis
There's nothing.
Jimmy
Hey, well, we can kill the stream and restart it.
Matt
Yeah.
Jimmy
No.
Mike
What? No, we can't do that. No, we'd have to restart the entire thing.
Jimmy
Yeah, I've seen people have technical issues where they kill the stream and come.
Mike
Back, but how are we gonna. No.
Lewis
He'S thinking, okay.
Tyler
He'S already solved the Rubik's Cube, so he can't do that now.
Lewis
I think that's it.
Tyler
I'm telling you, pour water on it.
Jimmy
I don't know, man. Once you let the smoke out, people are enjoying it.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jimmy
I mean, still. People are there. The best I've looked. We got 62 people still in the chat, man. We're good that. It's been a while.
Lewis
Hardwire one camera in and just finish.
Mike
No, yeah, you can.
Jimmy
I mean, we won't be able to break down video. Well, no, we could still break down videos. You just can't see us.
Lewis
Just.
Jimmy
Someone make a skit out of this.
Lewis
And I'm not gonna put my webcam.
Jimmy
Not gonna plug in your webcam.
Mike
Let me guess. Be entertaining for about five minutes.
Lewis
Be entertaining.
Tyler
Deal.
Lewis
Here we go.
Mike
I mean, tell jokes. We can call somebody. I don't care.
Jimmy
Let's see. We can. We can still show the videos.
Tyler
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the videos.
Lewis
Yeah, just put the video up.
Jimmy
So let's do the. Let's do the. The drone video.
Lewis
We have a drone video. Oh, that one right now. Right?
Jimmy
Yeah, bottom. That one right there. So take it away. Other title.
Tyler
Basically, what you're seeing is this is the remnants left over from a bunch of FPG drones in Ukraine, where they're using fiber optic cable to guide them so that the transmission signal can't be jammed by, like, you know, signal jammers. So you have fields upon fields and roads and cities covered with fiber optic cables. That's just how much much FPV drones are actually using in Ukraine right now. And it's pretty crazy to see.
Jimmy
Well, I Mean, you. We were talking earlier about like the back and forth that happened with IEDs, right? And this is just an extension of that 100.
Lewis
So those have been man run across fields.
Tyler
No. So what they do is they build a drone, like a quadcopter. They put some sort of. A lot of times it's like a warhead off of a ordinance item, like a rocket or something on it.
Mike
Know what? Want to know what's wrong?
Lewis
What was wrong?
Mike
Oh, it wasn't plugged in all the way.
Jimmy
Are you kidding me?
Tyler
So we're back though, right? Celebration.
Lewis
We're good.
Tyler
Wait, hold on.
Mike
Hearing the click is vital.
Lewis
And it's clear too.
Jimmy
Look at that.
Mike
All right, the first.
Jimmy
It.
Mike
It.
Lewis
No, still pixel.
Matt
It's.
Tyler
Hey, but it's video.
Matt
At least something.
Lewis
Yeah.
Mike
So.
Tyler
Yeah, so what it is, is a quadcopter. They put some sort of explosive. A lot of times they just use an existing ordinance item and just use the warhead from it, and then they'll secure it to the drone somehow. And so for the longest time they were using those, just transmitting like with your normal radio signal. And then they'd fly around until they saw either some Russians or Ukrainians, depending on what side you're on, and then they'd fly towards them and. And blow them up some. In the early days, they were dropping little bomblet drone, drone, little bomblets from them, like 3D printed. But eventually they started figuring out how to jam them, even though they're not great at it. And then. So someone figured out that you could just hook up a wire. And a good way to do that's with a fiber optic cable because it's so small and you can have them over long distances. So they have like a home station where the drone takes off from, and they literally reel out wire all the way to where they're going to blow it up. So for from your point where you take the drone off to where you detonate the drone, there is a fiber optic cable that's been ran the whole way. So when you do that a gabillion times in one day, you have fields and roads in the entire country covered in fiber optic cable.
Lewis
You can just go through there with some scissors and.
Tyler
Yeah, it's dead now because the drone's already been blown up. So the wires are.
Jimmy
It's the same as a command wire.
Lewis
I mean.
Jimmy
I mean, except it's fiber optics because that's what's used to control the drone.
Lewis
That's crazy.
Tyler
Yeah, because you could send a lot of information over fiber Optic cable, too. So you could send your, all your flight signals, your camera feed, all your fire signals and everything for the explosives all over a tiny little fiber optic cable.
Jimmy
And, and just like with IEDs, right, they were RC at first. And so it was like, okay, well, we figure out what frequency they're on and we jam it and then the, the drone just falls out of the sky.
Lewis
Now that they're wired, you can't, you can't jam it.
Tyler
Right. So what one really interesting video I saw was there was a. I don't know which side it was. It was either a Russian fiber optic drone or Ukrainian.
Mike
Oh, we're back.
Lewis
We've been back.
Mike
Quality.
Tyler
Oh, nice. And they were flying over like a wood line and there's a trench and they were looking for bad dudes to kill. And a opposing side drone was flying around, saw the fiber optic drone and flew behind it and cut the cable so the drone wasn't able to be used anymore.
Jimmy
We're in, in a generation of warfare.
Tyler
We don't fully understand, and it's evolving daily.
Lewis
Well, I guess that's why they're staying in the woods then.
Jimmy
Right?
Lewis
The drone with the fiber optic has trouble getting in the wood line and getting to you.
Tyler
Yeah. And so another thing they've done is because, I mean, if you think about it, sorry, it's essentially like, it's a form ish of indirect fire. Right, Right. So what they've been doing is covering roads and highways with essentially like camo nets to where you could be walking down the road, the road in your unit, or driving down the road in a convoy. And if a drone can't see that you're there, it's not going to attack you because they're looking for people to kill. So they figured out like, oh, if we just cover as much as we can in camo netting and that you can't.
Lewis
So we're just stop fighting. Jesus Christ.
Tyler
Russians want their freedom.
Jimmy
Yeah, I mean, like, I don't even understand, like, first of all, those who started this whole conversation about Ukraine started because like I said, said we had a guy who was an American, is an American who's over there in Ukraine right now, and he's like, I don't think you should come here.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jimmy
And I'm like, yeah. And I mean, there's so many videos that I've watched, and I'm like, I want. I fought in a war, he fought in a war, and you fought in a war, and you fought in a war. And I'm like, I Want no part of that, dude.
Tyler
Because the, the thing is like, like war. When you see war, when you're like close to war, you're like, oh, it's not, not. It's not called like, it's not fun anymore. It's not quality.
Lewis
Look what the prize is, it's that up city. It's all broken down.
Mike
Winner gets this.
Lewis
Yeah, it's like, that's what I'm saying.
Tyler
When you're Ukrainian and you're fighting off a force that's imposing their will on your home, it's one thing you could like justify in your head, like, okay, even if I die, I'm fighting for my country. I'm fighting for my home. To be an American and go over there is like, it's not for me because what am I fighting for as an American? Like, when I was fighting as an American, I was fighting for my buddies next to me and I wanted to keep them safe and there was a reason to do it. But for me to raise my hand and go to the Ukraine right now and it's money.
Mike
It might be a money thing, but.
Lewis
Money can't click you. Like, he's saying money can't. I don't even think for the most greedy person, money doesn't click your brain into like, I'm fighting for generational, like, my entire family bloodline dies on this hill today versus I'm gonna make 200 grand.
Tyler
Like, because you might think you can, you might think, oh, you know, whatever the number is, 20 grand a month, 40 grand a month, I could go over there and fight for that. I have experience doing this. But then you start seeing FPV drones coming in and artillery rounds and guided missiles.
Lewis
This, I'm McDonald's.
Jimmy
There's videos of, of like Ukrainians like in the sewer tunnels, like cramming in there to hide from the drones. Like, that's the kind of war we're talking about here. This is not Call of Duty. This is not a game. This is some serious, serious.
Lewis
It's unfortunate.
Tyler
Yeah.
Lewis
I mean, it's a, it's. There's nobody can win that war. It's just money blown. People dying, just buildings, entire cities ruined for. You know, and I say this in the most non shitty way, when that war ends, our lives will be no different than when it started, when it was going on and when it ended. But for entire. There's an entire hundreds of thousands of people. But to us, it's like we get a million, we talk about it, but it's like it doesn't Nothing changes for us. It sucks to see it live going on.
Jimmy
There's an entire generation of young men that don't exist anymore.
Lewis
Yeah. In Ukraine, families are done. Bloodlines are done.
Jimmy
That's it. Like, hey, that was my only son done. He's gone.
Lewis
Yeah.
Jimmy
Like, that was my.
Mike
But what are you gonna. You have that to them. It's like, you say that you. You can't not fight. You have to fight.
Jimmy
No.
Mike
And, I mean, Russia's coming in. I. From what I. From what I hear, Russia's not doing a good job.
Lewis
No. They're getting murked.
Mike
Yeah.
Jimmy
I mean, and, you know, John made a comment, and you're right. Iraq and Afghanistan was not a game. And everybody that went to that place knew it wasn't a game. You get out on the, you know, getting your Humvee, you drive down the road, you're playing Russian roulette, dog. There's just no way we can spot them all. Yeah, but this right here is completely different than the G. WAT. It is completely different.
Tyler
Yeah. Well, it's force on fourth. I mean, one thing that. Yeah. One thing that was kind of nice about the GWOT was that we were fighting in a style that was like we would set up operating bases, FOBs, cops, whatever you want to call them. Them, and then we would go out from there and fight. So there are people who joined the military. Maybe they were in 10 years, maybe they were in five years, whatever, and they had a job where they went to a fob, Maybe like a Bogram, and they stayed there for nine months. And they were a part of the war for sure, and they had a good role and a serious role in that, but they didn't, like, see war. They didn't experience that in a way that some people did. So now when they think about war or whatever, they think of their version of it, and it's like, I wrote.
Jimmy
Tickets on a major FOB mob, you know, Like.
Tyler
Yeah. And when you, like, see blown up around you, it's like, it's not a game at all.
Jimmy
Even. Even those of us that are like, we're in the infantry and we were in firefights. We were in a lot of firefights. There are still dudes like the Marines that fought in Fallujah and the guys that fought in the current all. It's like, dude, I saw some, but I didn't see no like, that big time. And, you know, whole combat outposts over.
Lewis
The Orange man said he was going to end it soon as he took over did he? He did. That was one of his campaign promises. He said he was going to end the war in Ukraine. He said it the whole time leading up to the.
Mike
How do you end a war?
Lewis
He said, Putin, Putin, Putin. Putin was gonna, he said that he was gonna talk to Putin. It was gonna be over the day he took over.
Mike
Oh, that didn't happen?
Jimmy
No, I mean, well, he said that he was going to end the Gaza.
Lewis
Thing and that ended like three times and started back up.
Tyler
Right.
Jimmy
Man. I got, I saw, I got videos from that too. And it's like, it's the same that you're seeing in Ukraine. It's like the, that we did for like room clearing. Nobody does it. It's only us.
Mike
Well, there's no rooms to clear. It's just structures now.
Jimmy
Yeah, I mean, but like, I mean it's not like, hey, hey, okay, hey, we're gonna stack up. We're gonna go in this room. Okay. Go to your point of domination. Okay, hey, hey. First, you know, room one's clear. Bring in the follow on forces. This, like I'm an idiot.
Lewis
This is out of my wheelhouse. I'm an idiot. How far? Because I, I just, I just can't, my brain can't get into all this. How far into Ukraine is Russia?
Jimmy
Like 30 kilometers.
Lewis
So they barely made it. They got pushed back, right? Yeah. You guys talk, Ukraine backed up and then they've gained their ground back and.
Jimmy
Then they got pushed back.
Lewis
So they got, they're fighting over this rubble. If Ukraine just goes all the way home, is there, is it like, is that an option to just back up?
Tyler
Well, there's important regions that are kind of all over the country. So like there's plants and there's Kiev, which is like to the Ukrainians, extremely. That's basically the war. Take it. Okay, then they're screwed. So they're kind of rotating too. Like sometimes the Russians will take this, but Ukrainians come further up here. But then other times Ukrainians will get some of this back and Russians take more of this and I kind of move it.
Lewis
Some of the critics I see, and I'm ignorant, all is you see partying going on in Ukraine. Like there's no war. So there's parts of Ukraine that are completely fine from this.
Jimmy
Closest to Poland. Yeah.
Lewis
So they're good. There's no problem with them.
Tyler
I mean, fine.
Lewis
I see, I see a bunch of blonde girls dancing around in clubs waving cell phones.
Tyler
Yes. But. And then at some point the sirens will go off because coming through.
Lewis
So they're still getting bombed, even in those nice areas.
Mike
He looked at you and said, define fine. Yeah, define fine. Where's your. Where's your YouTube video?
Lewis
The video I see on these girls phones is better than our video. So they're doing. They're doing pretty good. They're partying. I see video, but I still got five. The propaganda side. And again, I don't know.
Mike
You don't know what you people are saying.
Lewis
Like, they can't be that Ukraine can't be that having that many problems. Look at them partying over there.
Tyler
Well, I mean, you got to think about it. A lot of the people when this first kicked off, a whole bunch of Ukrainians left Ukraine. The people who weren't interested in fighting. The people who didn't want a war zone all over Europe.
Mike
Can you. That right there, that sucks. Can you imagine re like locating and starting your whole family's life over again? Dude, there's no such thing as retirement anymore. There's nothing. You're starting over. Oh, can I get a minimum wage job to raise my f. What?
Lewis
Nothing.
Mike
What go.
Lewis
There's jokes I can't make.
Mike
Why?
Lewis
Oh, you said you can't make them. Yeah, you can't make them. People that start over, like 100 some countries.
Jimmy
Oh, I knew what.
Mike
You're doing fine.
Jimmy
So mean, like, when the war first started. I'm moving on. I'm moving on. I'm trying to save you, Mike. When the war first started, they were, I'm gonna save you.
Mike
There it goes. Grand grandpa in his black lung.
Jimmy
Yeah, the coal miner. That sound like an evil prospector sometimes. So anyway, there they. They had military troops on the border between Ukraine and Poland, like, pulling fighting mage males off the trains, like, get your ass back over here.
Mike
So you Ukraine?
Jimmy
Yeah, no, they were. They were fighting age bills trying to leave Ukraine, and they were like, get your ass back. You're going to the front.
Mike
Damn, dude.
Tyler
Yeah, so the. What I was gonna say is, like, a lot of the people who didn't leave who are still living in Ukraine, like, made the choice to live in a war zone. So, you know, for them hearing bombs go off a distance or whatever, that, you know, they're probably used to it by now. One, but two, they probably made that decision that they're okay with that. So if they're. They're like, I'm not gonna stop partying on a Friday night. Club's open, dude, I'm there. And, oh, some sirens went off.
Jimmy
People, young people still want to have sex. It's not gonna Change. How about you? I bet you Jay could make some money over there with blow.
Matt
I mean, if it was me, too, right? Like, I mean, I'm still gonna enjoy my life. I mean, what am I gonna do? Hide in my house?
Mike
I mean, I don'.
Matt
I'm gonna get hit by a rocket. One way or the other, I'm gonna. If I made that decision right, I'm gonna live with it. I'm just gonna have to. You gotta have something.
Lewis
Yeah. No, and I. I don't disagree. I think what I was trying to is, like, there's people that criticize how important the war really is when there's. Do they see partying going, but I get it. Like, that's just a strange.
Mike
How fine is fine, Mike? Define fine. Fine. Fine.
Lewis
They're in a club, drinking and dancing. That seems like they're good. I mean, I don't know. I don't know.
Tyler
I'm not over there.
Lewis
I just.
Mike
I.
Lewis
It's got to be a terrible living situation when you hear a siren go off and you don't know what's coming.
Jimmy
I mean, when I. When I could be jello.
Tyler
Shots.
Lewis
Could be a bomb. You don't know. Shots.
Jimmy
They got drones delivering the shots.
Mike
It goes to show you're never far away. Was it. Was it Gaza and Israel where they were at a music festival and they just paraglided in there and slaughtered.
Lewis
Started it all?
Jimmy
Yeah, slaughter.
Mike
Slaughtered every. Don't make jokes about this.
Lewis
That. That's what started the whole war?
Mike
Yeah, they paraglided in there. They were taking women's cell phones. This is. This gets bad.
Jimmy
Oh, yeah, it's dark.
Mike
It gets dark. They were taking cell phones of young women and FaceTiming their families with them. And that, to me, is like the devil incarnate right there. That is. That's. If I was Israel, I would have just launched everything we had at them.
Lewis
I mean, they did.
Jimmy
I mean, like, the. The Chechens. The Putin sent Chechens in. He sent Chechens into Ukraine. They got annihilated. Yeah, the. The. They got.
Mike
They got part of Russia's government.
Lewis
Oh, yeah.
Jimmy
Well, they were part of the Soviet Union.
Matt
Yeah.
Mike
I mean, are they controlled by anymore?
Jimmy
Yeah, it's. It's.
Mike
Oh, Chechnya's not.
Tyler
No, it's part of the Soviet Union. I don't believe it's a country.
Mike
So how are they Chechnya from that.
Tyler
Area that was once Chester?
Jimmy
It's like being a West Virginian.
Mike
Yeah, well, West Virginia still exists.
Jimmy
Yeah, but it may not be A country, but it's still a region. It's still a province.
Lewis
Yeah.
Mike
Okay. Yeah, it's. It's a geographical place.
Jimmy
Yeah. So the. The Chechens, they had like.
Lewis
It's right next to Yugoslavia.
Mike
Okay, wait, but you just said Chechnya was part of Soviet Union. I don't know if it is anymore.
Tyler
So that's why I was saying, does not exist now. I know, but it was part of the Soviet.
Lewis
Yeah.
Mike
Why does the Soviet Union have anything to do with Chechnya? I said Chechnya doesn't exist.
Tyler
Chechnya was a country.
Jimmy
Yes.
Mike
Not as. Anymore.
Lewis
Correct.
Tyler
The Soviet Union was an organization that owned a bunch of countries.
Mike
Yeah.
Tyler
Being one of them, Soviet Union fell. Chechnya is no longer a country. It is part of what is now known as Russia. But it's a region where you could still call someone, hey, that's a Chechnyan.
Mike
Because is it a. Is it it a. Is it like an official place? Chechnya. I live in Chechnya. My daily address is 1, 2, 3. Chechnya, Russia.
Tyler
Define Chechnya.
Lewis
Defined official.
Jimmy
Okay.
Mike
Define fine.
Jimmy
Chechnya is a federal republic within the Russian Federation. All this is. Is disputed by the separatists, who view it as an independent nation.
Mike
So it's kind of like.
Lewis
It's like, can I send a letter there?
Jimmy
Yes. To Chia.
Mike
Yeah.
Lewis
So can we sell shirts there?
Mike
Do you want a Copville patch in Chechnya?
Jimmy
Anyway, so the hell is that? I was, like, seeing, like, stuff in the chat, and I was like, what the.
Mike
So is everything okay?
Jimmy
Yeah, I just had, like, a little tick. It's just my tbi, man. Don't worry about it. Okay, but, like, the. Putin got a bunch of Chechens.
Mike
I like how he said.
Jimmy
I'm saying it now.
Mike
He's saying it on purpose.
Lewis
I know what he is.
Mike
I know what he is.
Lewis
I like it, though. So I hear it and it sounds normal.
Jimmy
Yeah, I. I like Putin too. I think it's great.
Tyler
All right.
Mike
Putin said it in Ches.
Jimmy
Yeah. So he. In the beginning of the war, he, like, the. The regular Russian troops were getting up, and so he was like, hey, all you Chetin guys, you want to go rape and pillage, you can go to Ukraine and rape and pillage all you.
Lewis
And they never came back.
Jimmy
They did not come back. And you want to know why? Because they. They love posting stuff on Instagram. And the Ukrainians were like, oh, geotags, cool. Have some 120 millimeter, dude. And they artillery, like, up this big convoy.
Mike
Oh, wait, so I wouldn't have thought about that. So if you're an actual real war now, Instagram wasn't a thing when I was in Iraq. I don't really even think Facebook.
Jimmy
Facebook was towards the end.
Mike
Yeah. So these guys are rolling around with their cell phones on social media, and they're just pinging them. Them and blowing them up.
Tyler
Yes. It's a really. That's awesome. It's a big issue Even for the U.S. like, we have soldiers deployed right now and smart watches. Your Garmin running watch is a real issue. It's a. It's a thing.
Lewis
It's an issue for most cops, too. They're old lady pigs.
Tyler
F. You don't even. You don't even have to, like, go on Instagram and put the tag of the place you're at. Like, you could just take a picture in a place. Yeah. And then post it to the Internet. And then someone can ago. I know where that picture was taken. And it was posted 30 minutes ago.
Lewis
Send it.
Tyler
Let's see if they're still there.
Lewis
Yeah.
Mike
I mean, like, what the hell is a geotag?
Jimmy
So when you post stuff, it'll ask you, do you want to share your location?
Mike
And it's usually all the way back.
Tyler
But not even that. Not even that. You could. Your phone.
Jimmy
Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
Tyler
Yeah. Your phone could not be connected to the Internet at all. When you take a picture on your phone, your phone saves location in the data. The photo.
Lewis
Photo. Yeah.
Tyler
So, like, if you ever go on your photos app, on your iPhone, if you have an iPhone, you can search for the pictures you've taken by geographical location. So you could go, oh, I took that vacation in Georgia last year. I want to see all the pictures from that. You can look at the map, click, Georgia. And all the pictures you took in Georgia show up.
Lewis
Let's see if it's when I'm outside.
Mike
Whoa.
Tyler
Right? So when I was in Syria, some guys got in trouble for, like, making phone calls back home.
Matt
Home.
Tyler
And they were.
Lewis
So I took a picture of my car. Publix.
Tyler
Yeah.
Lewis
And it shows the exact location the picture was taken.
Jimmy
Yep.
Lewis
And that's embedded in the code. Yeah. So if I were to send that. If I send that to somebody, it's like the Matrix. It can be pulled out. The location be pulled out. It goes with the picture.
Mike
So if you post that to Instagram, that that is available, somebody could be.
Tyler
Like, that is in the photo.
Mike
There's nerds everywhere. They'll find It Right.
Tyler
The data's in the photo. So you and I probably could. I mean, we can't figure out how to make the screen look, hey, we did.
Mike
I went just plug something in apparently.
Tyler
But there are people who could pull your photo off of Instagram. And even if you don't have a location tagged in or whatever, they can get all the data from the photo.
Lewis
There's a wild account I follow that will take a picture outside of like a. Just a partial picture anywhere in the world. And within like 20 seconds, 30 seconds, he knows exactly what. Yeah, he's like a. He has a whole account. He's like, send me a picture and I'll tell you where you are. And like a 30 second video, he finds you.
Tyler
And.
Jimmy
And so they pull these pic. They pull. Pulled this video out. They gave it to their nerds. The nerds gave it to the fires guys. And the fires guys, these dudes or.
Tyler
The drone guys or whatever.
Jimmy
Well, it was. This was beginning of the war. So the drones weren't a thing. This was just, you know, direct or indirect artillery.
Mike
So they up a bunch of Chechnyans.
Jimmy
Oh yeah, they didn't even. They were like, we're not even gonna have a gunfight with you. We're gonna kill you on the road. And. And that was like a dog. They were. They were in their vehicles. They were in their. Basically their LMT high fiving with all of their on. Like, yeah, we're gonna cut people's heads off. We're gonna rape and pillage your women.
Mike
Because Chechnyans are barbaric.
Jimmy
They are not dudes you want to with.
Mike
I remember when I was a kid, I found like a. On. On Limewire or whatever casa. I found a Chechen beheading video. I mean, like, that was before the terrorists doing it. They were doing it, dude.
Jimmy
Like, so.
Lewis
What'S wrong with our computer? It's got a virus from Limewire.
Jimmy
Dude. Dude, that's like, I'm risking it for the risk.
Lewis
You risk your whole family computer for one song.
Jimmy
And we. And you get Lars Ehrlich suing you.
Mike
Yeah, Limewire and Kaza. I use Kaza. K A Z A A bay.
Matt
I remember that.
Lewis
I had a Linux computer that was just downloading movies back in like. Yeah, mid 2000s. And I actually got the letter from Comcast. Like, hey, we know what you're doing.
Mike
Like, or else it's not stealing cable anymore.
Lewis
It's what you're doing faming Comcast. So you're done. So, dude, we got a war Going.
Jimmy
On in the comments right now about what? So what I basically said was, you up. I it up. Okay. And. And two of my two people that I know are.
Mike
In the chat.
Jimmy
They're not Chechnyans. These are both veterans. Like, here's the deal, guys.
Mike
Who is it? Who's it?
Jimmy
It's JA and. And cc.
Mike
Are they. Are they not vibing?
Jimmy
No, they're not vibing.
Lewis
Can they come fight here on live.
Mike
Oh, they live near each other, don't they?
Jimmy
Yeah.
Mike
You guys could literally each other if you wanted to.
Lewis
We can set it up right.
Jimmy
But here's the deal. It's my fault. So I said, like, hey, we went to Iraq and Afghanistan, and that was.
Mike
Jimmy, you caused a conflict.
Jimmy
I did. I. I mean, I get sued by Rob o', Neal, too.
Lewis
So, man, what's the conflict, Jimmy?
Jimmy
So I. I said, like, hey, we went to Iraq and Afghanistan, and that was rough, but it ain't compared to what they're dealing with in Ukraine. And I stand by that.
Mike
That statement.
Jimmy
I fought there.
Mike
How.
Lewis
What was the weather? Did it get that cold in over there in Afghanistan?
Jimmy
Yeah, it was cold.
Lewis
As bad as that?
Jimmy
I don't know if it was as bad as that.
Mike
That's Afghanistan gets cold.
Tyler
Cold.
Jimmy
And I mean to the point that Russians were talking about, hey, the winters here are kind of bad.
Lewis
But you. And I'm not taking away from the actual war, but you guys had far better technology, sleeping conditions the. Than what they're doing.
Mike
They have a sleeping bag with three layers in it.
Jimmy
Yeah.
Lewis
You weren't in the. You guys couldn't.
Mike
Afghanistan.
Lewis
Okay.
Jimmy
Yeah, I mean, Afghanistan. I mean, were you down in the south or were you.
Tyler
I was RC East. So, like, northeast.
Mike
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Let's talk about the conflict in the chat.
Jimmy
Oh, so basically there's two people just going like, hey, it was a real war over there, too. And it was like. And we fought there, and we took a lot of casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan. And that is 100% true.
Lewis
What's that one bad video. What's your name?
Jimmy
You.
Mike
You. You. That's what they're doing in the chat. You. Ezekiel, dude.
Jimmy
And listen, like, JA was a ranger regiment. I mean, he's. Yeah, he's not a dude I'd want to with. He was a ranger. And, you know, CC's a great guy. We love him, too. So, like, I want everybody to make peace.
Lewis
You managed to get your two friends mad.
Jimmy
I did, and I feel terrible.
Lewis
Tyler's mad at Lewis. Everybody's mad. Lewis, we're getting close.
Tyler
The one dude in the comments. Me too. I think. I haven't figured out why yet.
Jimmy
Well, dude, like, there's sometimes you just gotta be like. I mean, one dude just told me, hey, Jimmy, shut the up.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jimmy
Like the big boys are talking.
Mike
Oh.
Jimmy
And I'm like, maybe he's right, you know, maybe I do need to shut the up. No, no, but I mean, like, spicy autism fight. Pursuing Jimmy for 25 million. I'm suing Jimmy for 40 million. Okay. We've made peace. They have a common enemy now and it's me. So anyway, man, like the whole, the whole thing over there in Ukraine just. God, it gives me like, the drones give me nightmares.
Lewis
Trump's on a roll.
Mike
Can you imagine that? Just, I thought, you know, do you know when you see that little piece of equipment that's not worth anything?
Jimmy
Yeah.
Mike
It's coming right at. You're like this thing. Yeah.
Jimmy
And they're really.
Mike
Probably stop and hover and you're like, those, those sick are laughing at me right before they kill me, dude.
Jimmy
They literally freeze frame, like the picture of right before they hit people. And it's sad.
Mike
It really is sad. It's sad, it's sad. I'm not gonna lie. I mean, need to get like a net.
Lewis
Like you shoot a net out. Like they're trying to shoot it with a 5. Do they have it now?
Tyler
Yeah. I mean, all the stuff they use against these FPV drones, like, are not as effective as you would hope they would be.
Jimmy
No, dude, there's a whole video of.
Mike
Of like, it's like trying to shoot a fly with a BB gun.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jimmy
They're out there with 12 gauge buckshot trying to take these things down.
Tyler
Yeah. I mean, net guns, they. The EMR ones, they use like the drone defender type systems where you're basically shooting like a ray of. Of jammer at these FPV drones. And like, these things are fast, they're nimble. There's a dude who's been flying these for the last six months straight and.
Jimmy
He'S probably a gamer.
Tyler
Yeah. And it just doesn't work the way you want to. And guess what? If it does work, then there's 15 more drones behind it. They cost 300 bucks a piece or whatever to make.
Jimmy
How much does it cost to train one infantryman and equip them? Probably about 10 grand.
Matt
I was going to ask too, for the. The counter, the drone counter technology. Right. What about like, robotics? I've seen some robotics things right. Where it's Just a robot with a, I don't know, like a bell fed weapon. And it's going crazy.
Jimmy
I mean sword.
Matt
But I feel like how effective could that really be? You know, not effective. So where are they on any sort of tech like that?
Tyler
So the, besides jamming, the biggest thing is jamming. Yeah, but that doesn't. That's one of the reasons why they moved to do the wire guys fiber optic stuff is because now you can't jam anything. So then you have to try and cut fiber optic or you mask yourself. It, it all goes back to like old school warfare. It goes back to camouflaging yourself, moving your unit quickly. Don't stay in one place too long. Like all the things be careful when.
Jimmy
You cross a linear danger area.
Lewis
Do they not have cars?
Jimmy
Dude, the cars are.
Lewis
You don't drive anything.
Tyler
Yeah, cars will get full up.
Mike
But are drones faster than cars? Oh yeah, there you go.
Lewis
But I'm saying like I don't see any armor.
Jimmy
No, no, the armor is ridiculous. Now where is it? I'll find you.
Lewis
We don't see any videos.
Jimmy
I'll find you some videos of like the drone arm.
Matt
I saw a video of a drone striking what looked like maybe a Humvee with two guys in it on I think was maybe a supply run.
Mike
I don't know why I thought. You said nothing wrong. And I. You said a Humvee with two guys in it. And I waited a second. I look at Mike, It comes down to the windshield and two dudes are like.
Jimmy
Just kill us.
Mike
Hurry up.
Jimmy
Get rid of that video.
Matt
It had, it had no armor. That thing struck, took out the driver. You know, know that.
Lewis
What kind of charges?
Tyler
I mean all sorts of thing. But the real popular one is like.
Mike
We'Re back to potato mode again.
Tyler
It's called a PG7, but an RPG warhead and that has its anti tank. It has a shape charge in it. So even if you're in an armored vehicle, they can still punch through that with an FPV drone.
Lewis
That little drone is carrying all that power.
Jimmy
God, dude, like. But I mean again, the infantry is not going to go away. My dad, dad was a tanker before he went to sof. He loves tanks. That's his first love. And he was like, tanks are done. There's not gonna be any more tanks. Not the way we use them. Not the way we use them.
Tyler
Well, what I was thinking that video we showed earlier where the guys were fighting in an urban area and it's a, a squad of dudes on the ground fighting who knows how many guys up in a building. One nice thing to have right there would have been some armor. Like they, you know, like, because.
Jimmy
Protected fire. Firepower.
Tyler
Yeah. Because everything from what I understand in Iraq and urban combat, a lot of, like, Bradley fighting Vehicles, a lot of tanks would come through and you could put around into a building if you needed to, but these guys are by themselves on foot, trying to figure it out.
Lewis
That's a problem.
Matt
The yellow paint on.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jimmy
The problem is, is that you can't get a tank there because everybody's gonna see the tank.
Tyler
Sure.
Jimmy
And the drones are gonna be like, tank sure.
Tyler
There's also a lot more dudes on foot than there are tanks that can help them.
Jimmy
One of the other things you notice, too, how spread out, like, when we would move, we were moving in.
Mike
This is what. This is what everybody feels like, Mike, when you talk about cop stuff. Okay.
Jimmy
I was actually just thinking about that. I was actually.
Lewis
Santa's just good. No, no, no, no.
Jimmy
What?
Lewis
No, nothing. Great. Go ahead. I'm listening. I listen, but I enjoy this because I don't.
Mike
You yawned. I want to be like, unbelievable. No, unbelievable.
Lewis
Dude, I'm listening. This is. I'm asking questions. I'm engaged. Like, I want to know about this.
Jimmy
So when. When we were moving in Iraq, we were moving in fire teams, the school squads, sometimes platoons. Right. We're moving in a relatively large group. We're still spread out. We still got 5 meters. Dude, when you watch the infantry fights, they're like two guys, maybe three guys.
Lewis
Ukraine videos are like two and three guys.
Jimmy
Yeah, they're very spread out.
Mike
What unit are you in? Yeah, like, I. I'm not.
Lewis
I think some of them. Some of them don't know what they're doing. They're just like, if he doesn't have a yellow ribbon on the back of his shirt, like, oh, man. Like, they're gonna be out there for like, five more years after the war. Just run. These guys are OP doesn't look like they have any comms. They don't know what's going on. Or just run around, go out there.
Jimmy
And I mean. Well, I mean, the comms issue, too, is that, like, if you use comms, the Russians will direction find you and bucket dropper.
Mike
Really? I feel like that's like, you can't even use comms now in combat.
Lewis
So how do you tell each other things?
Jimmy
You got to go back to World War I tactics, really.
Mike
So even the most basic level whistles was that you.
Lewis
Let them know you're over Here?
Tyler
Yeah.
Jimmy
People are sending smoke signals.
Mike
Wait, so your basic level com stuff can't be used now?
Jimmy
Yeah, because they're. They're gonna directional. The green box army thing you're talking about like the. The skl.
Mike
What, What.
Jimmy
What's the 119?
Mike
What's the green box radio in the army that no one knew how to work?
Jimmy
Oh, Singar.
Tyler
Singar radio.
Mike
Those things.
Jimmy
Yeah.
Tyler
Well, you could use them. You have to have. But the issue is that the. Well, what I assume is the issue is that you've got got tiny little units of a bunch of random guys doing a bunch of random stu. There's not a whole bunch of command and control right now. And so then you have to do comic changeovers. How you gonna do that across the country? You have to have make sure everyone's got each other's freaks. How are you gonna do that across the country when this unit of guys is dead now? Because a week ago they were alive and now they're dead.
Jimmy
So they're now on. All on single channel.
Mike
He's not answering his radio.
Lewis
You got a guy calling on Instagram and you. Crane. Yeah, yeah, he's calling into the show. He's got.
Mike
Now they're gonna drop bombs on us.
Lewis
Chocolate's got something to say. He's got a video on how drones are looking. Oh, he sent it to somebody's DMs. I can look at anto here.
Jimmy
Hold on. Yeah, so, I mean, like when we were in Iraq, we were always like free cop ciphertext. We had to change it over all the time. You had to set dagger time. All that was going on. Going on. And it changed every week, which was really important. If you were like going out on a reconnaissance mission and you were going to be away when the frequency. When the. When the comps changed over, you had to have people stay on your compsec. Stay on your freak.
Tyler
Right.
Jimmy
Otherwise you'd lose comms and end up.
Mike
Oh, that's a shirt. Stay on your freak. Thank you.
Jimmy
Get your freak on. Yeah, that's kind of good.
Tyler
The freaks change out at night.
Mike
Yeah.
Jimmy
Oh, the freaks. The freaks come out at night, I think.
Mike
Wait, what you say?
Jimmy
Oh, which one?
Mike
That's not. Stay. Stay on your freak.
Jimmy
Stay on your freak.
Mike
Yeah, that's a good one. I like that.
Jimmy
Stay on your freak. But like, that stuff had to happen. And it was very. I mean, it was very orchestrated, very choreographed. We all knew how to do it. These guys can't. So they're all single channel, plain text.
Tyler
Yeah. We have like relatively good command and control compared to what they're experiencing right now. So we have really good communication across cost. Our deployed forces, they can all talk to each other. We have a good, you know, email system with on the high side, on the secret side. So I don't know that they have all of that stuff. And so it's harder for them. And I think it all goes back to just like general war tactics speed. If you're gonna communicate on single channel plain text or on your cell phone or whatever, don't stay where you just sent a transmission from.
Lewis
So then your video suggest sent you.
Tyler
You're reducing how much you're talking on the radio too, because how important is this transmission I'm about to send? Can I leave where I'm at now? Because I just sent this.
Jimmy
It's sort of like the. The old school movies were like, hey, keep them talking so we can get a location like in the old school. Like when you Movies? Yeah, the old school cop movies. It's like, hey, dude, I know. I got 30 seconds.
Lewis
That's the old one. You know, that's the Orlando. Oh, this one is that. That thought I sent two.
Jimmy
Yeah. And. And CC is a comms guy and he is like constantly telling people like, hey, you got to go back old school.
Mike
We get Nvidia maybe.
Lewis
I don't think it's the right one. Oh, I don't think the emails come through yet. Yeah, that is why the is there not two of them.
Mike
Why can't watch the other one.
Lewis
I sent two videos. That was Orlando shootout.
Jimmy
Oh, oh.
Mike
Between the SWAT team. Let's watch it.
Lewis
All right, get that other one then. Lois. It's a big one. It's none of those.
Tyler
It's.
Lewis
You didn't download it yet. It's in the email still. You have to bring it over.
Jimmy
Lewis is going to get so good at this after a few months.
Lewis
The one that says Orlando right there. There's nothing. It was there, I promise.
Mike
Is it? Was it?
Lewis
Yeah.
Jimmy
And then while we got that, we got these. God damn, man.
Mike
Everyone's making Lewis work hard.
Jimmy
I know.
Mike
Lewis, I'm sending you something. You got now you got to guess where I sent it. And then it disappears once you look at it once sense.
Jimmy
So I mean, so as a EOD guy, while we're waiting for this to get some more like. I mean, aside from like net guns.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jimmy
And like, what else are they? I mean, like, they're going old school too. Into like fishing line that.
Tyler
Yeah. So the. From everything I've Seen and I have some contacts over there who are Ukrainian EOD guys and that we, they tell me stuff they can tell me. Obviously they're not going to reveal anything over, over, you know, social media that they can't. But they're seeing everything from like World War II era EOD work to where it's like a bomb lane in someone's yard they have to rip a fuse out of all the way up to like literal flying computers with explosives on them, and they're having to do all that and everything in between. And if you take into account the environmental factor, where if you have the Russians launching a hundred thousand artillery rounds at you over the course of a few months, there's artillery rounds stuck in trees, there's artillery rounds laying on roofs, there's drones laying on roofs. So they're doing all sorts of crazy stuff right now.
Mike
Well, wait, you were a comms guy too, right?
Matt
Yeah.
Jimmy
Okay, so, so what are, what are some of the other issues that we've got here as far as like, you know, com sec and then like, you.
Matt
Know, rdf and as far as Russia's and Ukraine's concerned? I mean, he, he probably knows far more than I do on that. I just don't know much about that situation. But I mean, I, I, the first thought I had was crypto for sure.
Lewis
Check it now.
Matt
You know, so crypto, everybody being on the same frequency. I mean, that, that exactly what he was saying.
Jimmy
I'm trying to make sure we include everybody.
Matt
Yeah, no, thank you. I mean, I disagree with everything he said. I don't know enough about it to be able to expand on that, honestly.
Mike
Well, why we wrap up first? Thought I had when we wrap up.
Lewis
What the video should be, the check the email again, Louis, I'm sorry if it doesn't do that mail drop thing that doesn't attachment for something, some reason.
Mike
Matt, tell everybody, tell everybody where they can find you. I hate sounding like an official podcast. Yeah, there's a lot of people ask like, who are these guys? Yeah, we really don't, we really don't go into detail, man. We just have, we just sit down and go, yeah, Matt, you came here, you heard the podcast. You were like, hey man, can I come on the lives? We're like, yeah, absolutely. Got to know you. You me up with so much. I didn't know how to do.
Tyler
Like, I.
Mike
A lot of electronic press kits. He wrote this entire thing for us. When we did the broadcast, it was like three pages. I'm like, who did that? Who found all this he was like, oh, I did. And I was like, you did all that? He's like, yeah, man, that's what I do. Yeah. And he's, you're such a good dude. You've only cared about us succeeding. You really only care about everybody succeeding. You don't talk about anybody, you know, so, you know, you're a good dude, dude. And your Instagram is Matt Underscore.
Matt
No, it's. And thank you, by the way, man. I really appreciate that. You know, I, I kind of found my way in the entertainment industry by myself independently. And I know how difficult this whole thing is, especially the struggle of going from a military background into it, because this is a whole other world, but entertainment across the board. So thank you for that. You can find me at Matt Ocon 13911. Like I said, I do a lot of behind the scenes type stuff in the entertainment side of the business. Mostly like brand awareness, brand building. So, you know, if you're a veteran and you have a brand, you can DM me. I'm not going to charge you for a consultation. I'll wave that fee and, you know, we can talk about some strategy in that process. Just DM me and we can get started on that. So I appreciate it.
Mike
I'm telling you, dude, it's crazy. This. He sent me. I was like, who did all these analytics? And he was like, I didn't. And yeah, for someone, someone like me, that would have taken me 19 hours. Yeah, for somebody that does it. It was just, it was a couple hours out of your time.
Matt
Yeah, I mean, there's, and there's platforms and things too, that you can pull. You know, I gotta pull artists. You know, we call it like a metric audit. Right. So I gotta pull artist data all the time to just figure out, figure out certain paths we can take for success and monetization and stuff. So, yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm good with it. I like being behind the scenes. I'm not really in front of the camera too much. So this is a little new for me. But I mean, I've been on the other side of so many podcasts. Like, it's, it's, it's not too strange.
Mike
But like, Mike right now.
Lewis
Yeah, producer Mike. I got the Ukraine video, the drone videos. You guys ready for one?
Jimmy
Yeah.
Mike
You trying to outdo Lewis?
Lewis
No, I'm just gonna.
Matt
He's just taking over my job.
Lewis
Yeah, you're all right.
Mike
Everything's clear. Wow. We can see.
Jimmy
Yeah, that's, that's the trench. There's no sound on the thing right there.
Lewis
Press the switch with. There's.
Mike
A six.
Lewis
One. Oh, my God.
Mike
Just. Lewis, just tell him he's a stupid piece of.
Lewis
What do I have to push?
Mike
Come on, Mike. Yeah, Mike's fire.
Lewis
Mine's different. Which one do I push for the sound?
Mike
Press over here. And that's how you switch your mic. So he's like. There is volume, dumbass.
Lewis
He's like that. Yes. All right, let's try it.
Mike
You can't just do the producer role, Mike. It's not that easy.
Lewis
Last week.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jimmy
Jesus.
Mike
Whoa. Futuristic.
Jimmy
That's. Yeah, your mic is muted when that.
Lewis
Yeah.
Mike
What are they shooting?
Jimmy
They're in a trench.
Tyler
They're fighting people.
Jimmy
Yeah, they're fighting other people.
Lewis
Dude, Mike's back. All right, here we go. We got one more video with the drones.
Mike
Dude, could you imagine that? Like, someone's winning that you're fighting. There's no. That was a fun firefight. Yeah, like, someone's winning that and someone's.
Jimmy
Not coming home, like, when this is over.
Mike
Crazy.
Jimmy
I mean. So when I first got into the army, we were still practicing. What is it? Battle Drill 8, which was not, you know, enter. Enter a trench. You know, enter breach and conduct a missile breach of mind. Wire obstacle. And then you enter a clear trench. And, like, you had, like, a little flag that somebody that the RTO was wearing. Wearing, so that they could track your movement through the trench while they're outside the trench with binoculars, like General Patton. And, like, that was a whole thing. And then, like, you had to mark where your entry point was. You mark it with engineer tape, and you put smoke and, like, hey, this is where the reinforcements are coming in. This is the breach point. We haven't practiced that in forever, I'm sure, but looks like we're gonna need to.
Lewis
Number six. All right, ready for another video?
Matt
Video.
Jimmy
Send it.
Lewis
Here we go. Takes the trench from kamikaze drones, but.
Mike
What if the soldiers were outside at that moment? For such situations, there are special drone.
Lewis
Detectors that soldiers carry with them everywhere.
Mike
They detect an enemy drone signal from several kilometers away. And drone detectors, like, cha. Even show footage from enemy drones.
Matt
Whoa.
Mike
That looked kind of fuzzy and blurry.
Jimmy
But, I mean, that's. That's why they went to the fiber optics right there.
Lewis
Yeah, that's not me.
Mike
No, no, no, no. I'm saying, like, it shows what the drone sees, and it was just all fuzzy.
Lewis
All right.
Mike
You know that ain't gonna work. You got a drone Traveling at, what, 35 miles an hour?
Tyler
Probably Faster. I mean, it depends what they're doing too, because if they spot someone, they could slow down.
Mike
I can't even get the Internet to work here. You really think you're going to be able to see what, a drone traveling at 70 miles an hour?
Tyler
Yeah, sure.
Mike
To come kill you, Right? You're not gonna be able to see.
Tyler
Well, yeah, and I think the biggest thing, and they definitely do have that. I've seen that before, where they have like drone detectors they all wear on their kit, where if there's a drone in the area, it goes off. So at least you're like, hey, let me get back undercover. It's. Yeah, and then you take idf and you have an alarm go off, you run for cover.
Jimmy
Well, some of them are sound activated too, because they hear the high pitched wine that you can't necessarily hear. So, I mean, it's all.
Lewis
It's all we gotta do. The Lewis is on the hot seat.
Jimmy
Mike, you fixed all the problems.
Lewis
I know I did. I'm here. I'm here for you.
Mike
This is where we engage with the chat. And Lewis does an arubic cube.
Lewis
Yeah, we gotta get rid.
Jimmy
Come on.
Mike
Mix that in his pocket dog. He's got a holster for that.
Jimmy
You gotta have somebody else mix it up.
Lewis
Just switch the camera three, you dumbass.
Mike
Mike, he just forgets.
Jimmy
Peel the stickers off.
Lewis
I was working on something.
Mike
Is this like shuffling a deck of cards? Like the more I do it, the more it gets messed up. Or Jerry, you can say.
Jimmy
How many combinations are there?
Lewis
Why are you peeking? Quintilians.
Mike
Yeah, I've got four. I got five red. I don't like that. I don't like how there's five red. I'm trying to mess that up.
Jimmy
Yeah, it's hard.
Lewis
Like every part of it.
Mike
You can't even hold it. All right, so no matter what, I could do this for a year. You can solve it in 10 seconds.
Lewis
Yeah.
Jimmy
It'S very confident.
Mike
I mean, that's what I'm saying. There's no way I can shuffle this to a point where it would make it harder for you.
Lewis
There's not really the hardest scramble in the world. You can take all the colors off of it and put them in your pocket. Then he's got to figure out which ones.
Mike
Break it.
Lewis
I did last week and he still solved it.
Mike
All right, let's see. Stopwatch.
Lewis
We gotta give him chat. How long do you need to look at it?
Mike
You got to look at it very long.
Jimmy
All right, I'll.
Lewis
I'll tell you Guys. All right, everybody, get your bets in. How long is it going to take? A little hold up. What are you doing?
Tyler
In last time?
Lewis
Put it in.
Mike
10 and a half.
Lewis

Mike
See it?
Tyler

Lewis
Oh, no, no.
Mike

Lewis

You're. You're definitely plateaued. I think you like, you're.
Lewis
You're not allowed back next week until you get into knives. We're staying here all week. Keep going then. We're here all week.
Mike
You got tired of rub. Like, what does your brain do? Are you. Think like our brains? Louis, do you see?
Lewis
Stay tuned. We're about to solve a major disorder. What is your brain doing, Lois?
Mike
I can't. Like, is that a gift for real or can anybody do that with practice?
Lewis
No. I mean, I looked up a guy.
Matt
And then over time I practice and get better.
Lewis
You know, he sees colors.
Jimmy
He sees.
Matt
Oh, oh.
Jimmy
A regular person.
Mike
Somebody could run a mile in three and a half minutes. I could never do that. But they're like, oh, I just practice. I'm more likely. Some people are gifted.
Lewis
I'm more likely to run a three minute mile.
Matt
Determination to be able to like, practice.
Lewis
For like a long time in order to work. No, you're seeing things. You just don't know it. You're so smart. You don't know how smart you are.
Mike
Were you in gifted classes?
Lewis
No, just standard.
Mike
Just standard.
Lewis
Can you play?
Mike
I mean. I do.
Lewis
Good.
Matt
I'm mad.
Lewis
Can you play any music instruments? What do you play? Piano. Piano. There you go.
Mike
It's the same. Same, Same.
Lewis
You have to read the music. Or can you play it from sound? I do.
Jimmy
By here?
Tyler
Yeah.
Jimmy
See?
Tyler
Yeah. I knew he could see colors.
Mike
I can get out of.
Lewis
We don't have a piano. Next week there will be a piano. We're playing music next week. Lewis is doing the outro. Next week?
Mike
Yeah.
Lewis
Don't forget to tune in Monday, 11am don't forget, our store is live. The anti hero broadcast.

Jimmy
The gun shoot. South Carolina. Carolina.
Mike
I don't have the image up, but.
Lewis
I might have it. Hold on, hold on. Mike's here.
Mike
If you're in South Carolina, come visit us.
Lewis
Lewis might have removed it. Is it still there?
Mike
Lewis?
Lewis
It's gone. Which one? The gun shoot one was there.
Mike
No, he never was.
Lewis
Right. It Was on. It was in the image file last week. All right. Play the skin flute.
Jimmy
That.
Lewis
That copyright here. Played the skin flute. He rested the skin flute.
Mike
Y' all up.
Tyler
Just don't play it in public.
Jimmy
Yeah, or an fpg FPV drones coming into your hump.
Mike
What I do want to do is I want. I mean, this is gonna sound gay.
Lewis
Before I say this gay thing. I'm gonna tell everybody.
Mike
I'm really. I'm really happy with the people that are in our chats in our small community, because as people come in, in, they're really welcoming. And you know what? I'm being dead serious. Stop making fun of me when I'm trying to be cool.
Jimmy
It's annoying, isn't it?
Mike
I'm trying to be real. I'm trying to say I appreciate all these people.
Lewis
We appreciate you guys.
Mike
Mike's laughing at you.
Lewis
No, I think I might produce. I like this.
Jimmy
I don't know, dog, dude. No, you're the talent, Mike.
Lewis
Oh, I can do it from right here. No.
Mike
Nobody wanted to know if you could do 10 push ups and then do the Rubik's Cube.
Lewis
I don't think you do 10 push ups like you want me to do with both hands. You have to do the Rubik's Cube in your mouth while you're doing push ups.
Mike
No, dude, because what they want is they want to see you do something and then run right into it.
Jimmy
So, like, when we would, like, we.
Lewis
Would dress, shoot this, run into the door as fast you can, and crash.
Mike
Don't.
Jimmy
Don't do that. Don't do that.
Mike
We'll have you do, do like, like back and forth in the parking lot on your bike. Yeah. And then you jump right off your bike and do the roof and see if you can do it, because your stress in your brain might cause you to do it in 20 seconds if.
Lewis
It'S not 10 seconds we take.
Mike
Also is a factor too. The what?
Lewis
The nerves.
Mike
Oh, I know.
Lewis
That's what.
Mike
That'll mess up your nerves.
Lewis
What is your fastest time on record? 5.01. You think the nerves are being influenced front of it can cause your performance. Yeah, yeah, I've had that happen. I've had the nerves. Get the best of me.
Tyler
Stage fright.
Mike
Yeah.
Lewis
Yeah. That's what it's called, stage fright. I swear it's bigger. I swear it is.
Mike
Jimmy, how much would it take for us to be able to tase you? How much money?
Jimmy
I mean, you've been tased, right?
Lewis
I've been tased too.
Mike
It's Five seconds and it's done. It's over with forever.
Tyler
Well.
Jimmy
What are we.
Mike
What we talking about?
Lewis
Like, how much would it.
Mike
How much would it cost?
Jimmy
Who's getting the money?
Tyler
You are.
Jimmy
Oh, it's not the antihero podcast? No, I was gonna say 25 million.
Mike
How much?
Jimmy
500.
Mike
You'd be tased for 500 bucks. If we raised it next night shift.
Lewis
If we raised a Taser.
Mike
Dude, I don't. That's the problem. I don't have a taser. We'd have to borrow one from a cop. All right, you know what I do have? You know what I do have? I have. I have leftover pepper spray.
Jimmy
Dude, I. I've been hit with OC part.
Mike
All right, we can pepper spray you.
Jimmy
Yeah, you can pepper spray me for five. It's not. Don't slice it through my eyeballs.
Mike
Well, no, it would. We would do it however you wanted. But, dude, if.
Tyler
If you want to tase them, just go to spirit Halloween, get a penis costume.
Lewis
Will tell you how much to get you outside.
Mike
What if we went to the intersection over there and we dressed you up and we, like, put, like, dirt all over you, and we put you, and we said, I'm. I'm a war veteran and see how much money you get? We would double it. Oh, man. But every time. And then we're gonna have somebody pull up, like Chocolate or Matt and pull up and go, hey, get your ass back to vfw. You flick them off and run.
Lewis
I think we chasing with a drone, too.
Mike
Why?
Jimmy
Why am I the guy?
Lewis
We start getting enough money raised, I might go out there, dude.
Jimmy
Yeah, I mean, we get enough money. I mean, like, everything has a price.
Mike
Somebody just FedEx us a taser, no questions asked.
Jimmy
Take it out of evidence, boys. Yeah, we're not actually encouraging that, by the way. That's all a joke.
Mike
100 commit crimes. All right, that's it.
Lewis
One more.
Tyler
That's it.
Mike
Well, you want another song?
Lewis
One more song.
Matt
All right, one more.
Mike
Lifestyle.
Jimmy
I mean, we still got 50 boys in the chat tonight.
Mike
Oh, it's late.
Lewis
I gotta drive the home.
Jimmy
You and me both, partner.
Lewis

Podcast: The Antihero Broadcast
Episode: The Night Shift (11/20/2025)
Release Date: November 21, 2025
Duration: ~127 minutes
Hosts: Jimmy, Mike, Lewis, Tyler, Matt
Special Focus: Broadcast for veterans and first responders
This episode of The Night Shift is a wide-ranging, unscripted conversation between five hosts—most of them veterans and/or former police—with a “for the troops, by the troops” feel. The guys blend dark humor, gallows talk, current events, law enforcement controversies, and military tactics, all with the irreverent, sometimes rowdy banter typical of the show.
While the episode’s official hook is to discuss "Trump tweets," the crew spends significant time breaking down viral policing videos, crime stories, urban warfare in Ukraine, and the challenges of modern combat and policing. The tech issues add a humanizing (and often hilarious) chaos throughout. Key moments include spirited debate about federal prosecutions, discussion of Ukraine's evolving battlefield, trench and drone warfare, the psychology of strength sports, and a Rubik’s Cube speed solving contest.

“Pour water on it.” “Motrin and water… fixes everything.” (Tyler & Lewis, ~22:44–24:00)

“That is a military battle. Those are the number of casualties in an actual military…” (Lewis, 40:06)

"There’s an entire generation of young men that don’t exist anymore." (Jimmy, 72:36) "When that war ends, our lives will be no different… But for entire… hundreds of thousands… families are done." (Lewis, 72:02-72:42)
(83:07–87:46)

This episode typifies The Antihero Broadcast's focus on real talk for and by veterans and first responders: irreverent yet honest, mixing gallows humor with hard truths, and always keeping camaraderie at the core.
If you’re in the military, law enforcement, or adjacent circles, you’ll recognize the blend of sarcasm, sarcasm, and uncommon honesty. If not, you’ll get an unfiltered window into their world—with all its chaos, conflict, and the simple, vital comfort of people “being in it together.”
