Oh, just kill me.

[Donut Operator]

If you're a grown man and you don't move troops around a board to take the edge off, I don't trust you.

[Eli]

I'm gonna just baby batter on your stomach.

[Donut Operator]

Is your Tesla bot more of a field bot or more of a house bot?

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh.

[Cody]

I didn't know we were doing a podcast today.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hey.

[Eli]

3, 2, 1.

[Cody]

Hi, everyone. Welcome to the Unsubscribe podcast. I'm joined today by Eli D. Double Tap administrative results from Brandon Herrera, myself, donut operator. Thank you so much for joining in on what we're doing.

[Donut Operator]

Excuse me. All right.

[Eli]

Today we're talking about whatever you have going on with your life.

[Brandon Herrera]

You.

[Eli]

You have. We're all nerds here. Kind of. Everyone's a nerd here. Your new channel, you sent it today and I was like, holy. And then I read the title, like, okay, we're going to talk about all of this.

[Donut Operator]

All right. Yeah.

[Eli]

Went straight into the nerd category as his backup. He's like, I have my 2A and now I have my. What would. The best way you would describe.

[Cody]

Admin has a new channel.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

This is the first I've heard. What is the new channel about?

[Donut Operator]

It's called Bureau Files and it's for everything in my head that is within the. It's kind of like nerdy category type stuff. Playing with different thought concepts. For example, one video is the horrific implications of Finding Nemo. How if Dory can understand and read the human language, that means it'll ultimately end in nuclear holocaust.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm willing to follow that it all.

[Donut Operator]

Started because I was watching so much Finding Nemo with after having a kid, like, he just vegs out and turns into a larva and is it annoying?

[Brandon Herrera]

So read 40 stares at the TV exact.

[Donut Operator]

I just seen him to NPC for a bit so daddy can get some shit done. So that's. That's the. And I started watching. I was like, wait, if this fish can read the human language, what would that mean? And I just essentially thought, play it out the next one, there's only like three videos. Two of them are actual videos. The next one is how I'd properly defend Helms Deep.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm seriously just trying to figure out nuclear holocaust from.

[Donut Operator]

The steps.

[Cody]

My first. The first thought in my mind goes to Bikini Bottom. Did they come from like nuclear atoll? Like that type?

[Donut Operator]

I didn't get too much in the Bikini Bottom lore. I tried to keep it within the world of Finding Nemo crosses with our reality. Because in the movie there's a lot of fish that can understand complex human, you know, concepts.

[Cody]

Yeah, just like Tory just has like really bad PTSD or something.

[Eli]

Yeah, go on. More on what? How did.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm just trying to figure out the link to nuclear war.

[Eli]

I know.

[Donut Operator]

How is this.

[Eli]

Grab this. How did that red string get all over way to there on the tag?

[Brandon Herrera]

So I'm willing to follow.

[Donut Operator]

So if we look at Dory, right, the dumb fish of this universe, she's. She's retarded.

[Brandon Herrera]

Much like the voice actor, right?

[Donut Operator]

Much like the Voice Acting Ella DeGeneres. All right, so if we look at her, she's on the lower end of the spectrum, but she can still understand the human language. Now, if we go off the law of averages, that means on the other end of the spectrum, there's fish that are way smarter. They can understand languages depending on their coastline. And then if we look at the second movie where there's an octopus that can navigate and traverse outside of water for long durations of time, highly dexterous style. If we take, say, a sort of a figure, maybe Caesar Octavius, the octopus.

[Brandon Herrera]

Right?

[Donut Operator]

Some sort of high ranking octopi figure. You know, high dexterity. Where were you when I was writing this?

[Brandon Herrera]

You should have called your body.

[Donut Operator]

It was right under my nose.

[Brandon Herrera]

Second trout is floppenheimer.

[Eli]

We got to stop Adolf Schlim. Adolf Schlim, A shark with a little mustache.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Call me next time, dude.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Cody]

You know what you made me think of right now talking about this? You made me think of Matt Damon in the movie Dogma, convincing nuns that God isn't real through Alice in Wonderland.

[Eli]

Oh, I forgot to remember.

[Donut Operator]

No, I've never seen.

[Eli]

No, you've never seen Dogma. Well, that's an OG if you like Kevin Smith, that's one of his good ones. Like Dogma.

[Cody]

Okay, yeah, OG you cannot find Dogma anywhere. Like, you can't buy it on any streaming service. You have to go to like a YouTube re upload.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think you were the one who told me that. I think we were Talked about this like a year or two ago.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Cody]

I downloaded it off of Pirate Bay and put it on my computer and then like put it on my TV just to watch it because Dogma isn't available anywhere.

[Eli]

Lost office. Office. Mass shooting.

[Brandon Herrera]

What?

[Cody]

Oh, yeah. When they. They go and kill Mubi, the CEO of Mubi.

[Eli]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. It goes. It goes hard. If you haven't watched that.

[Brandon Herrera]

I have ever.

[Eli]

You'll be like, really, really good.

[Cody]

The full Dogma, the full movie of Dogma is uploaded on YouTube right now. You can watch it. It's going to be taken.

[Brandon Herrera]

Don't click away too early retention.

[Donut Operator]

No, I don't. Dude.

[Cody]

Oh, my God.

[Eli]

They're angels too. That do the.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, I. I actually just watched Constantine for the first time. Oh, so good. I'd only gotten like two minutes into it before I was like, oh, that's cool. And then just never start. Ne. Never kept watching it. But that's really good because they're making a second one.

[Eli]

That's one of the best that. That intro. So hard hitting when it's like they touch the Spear of Destiny.

[Cody]

Yeah.

[Eli]

And then immediately like that vehicle hits him. Nothing happens. Like, okay, this is gonna go.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, Mexicans.

[Cody]

Am I right?

[Brandon Herrera]

Then you've got Keanu Reeves just being. God damn it. Keanu Reeves just being John Wick. But for the supernatural, like, he's just straight up John Wick in that movie.

[Eli]

Trying to flip the lighter. His wrists are cut. He's like, the tendons don't work if you cut deep enough.

[Cody]

Dude, that's the best Satan ever in that movie. The Russian dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

Also the guy from John Wick.

[Eli]

Holy shit.

[Brandon Herrera]

He was in John Wick too. Yeah, yeah, the dad, Ben. Oh, that guy.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. You never seen it?

[Donut Operator]

No.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, it's really good.

[Donut Operator]

I was thinking of the moan with. Where is it like the. Al Pacino plays the devil.

[Eli]

Oh, that's. I know what you're talking. That. Holy. I forgot he was in that one too. Where he. His dad is the devil.

[Donut Operator]

Is that it?

[Eli]

No, it's not.

[Cody]

A little bit of a different Devil's Advocate.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Devil's advocate.

[Eli]

Yeah, that one's a good one.

[Brandon Herrera]

Talk about the Adam Sandler classic Devil's Advocate.

[Eli]

So you got that and then the battle of Helms Deep where you go into depth on how you would actually defend that.

[Donut Operator]

So I was. I was watching it and I was looking at the keep of Helms Deep, and I realized as a defensive structure, it is suboptimal, as one might say. And so within the, like, within the realm. Because ideally, it's like, oh, yeah, how would defend Helm's deep with the 240 brought. Yeah, I get it. All right, I understand. I would love to mow down a bunch of Orai with MG42s. I get it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Working in the realm, racially charged.

[Cody]

They have families now, by the way.

[Eli]

Them.

[Brandon Herrera]

All right. Asman Gold them.

[Eli]

This is the first episode ASM's gonna watch to, like, review.

[Donut Operator]

My cursing in case my mom watches this. She's gonna get real mad at me.

[Brandon Herrera]

Thanks, dude.

[Donut Operator]

I appreciate it, but yeah.

[Cody]

No.

[Donut Operator]

Within the realm of Lord of the Rings. Breaking down how they could have actually won and. Or defended the structure better.

[Eli]

What? Go on.

[Donut Operator]

You want me to break it down?

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

All right.

[Eli]

Welcome to the autistic community. Story time.

[Donut Operator]

So we got King Thetan coming out of the stupor after he's under the influence of Saruman and.

[Cody]

Wait, anyway, that crusty old queef, that was worm tongue.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, yeah. Grima Wormtongue whispering in the ear. So he comes out of it and he's like, all right, I sent my riders off north. His meta cavalry, horse army, which, historically speaking, in antiquity, the horse army or horse archers are the absolute meta of ancient warfare. Now he's going up against an army of the meta that would be old uber heavy infantry with pikes. So they're probably expecting Rohan cavalry to show up. Now he wants to take all of Edoras to Helm's Deep. The problem is they're getting closer to Isengard, where the army is coming from. So from a strategic standpoint, he's putting himself into a bad spot. Now, There was another YouTuber, and I'm totally blank on the name right now, who broke down, like, just how bad the keep was of a defensive structure. A lot of things wrong with it. There's a tower of. No murder holes. It just has a giant ass horn on top.

[Brandon Herrera]

We don't know the YouTuber, but I can imagine how he smells. Go on.

[Eli]

How do you have a kid?

[Donut Operator]

I don't know. Once you get, like, when you start trying to, like, chase stash, the structure is terrible. No drawbridge. There's an open grate underneath the wall that does. No protection for the keep. Once you get inside of that, the keep itself, there's no other murder holes to stop the. Like, once you're in the. In the gate, you're in the entire structure. Terrible, terrible defensive structure. It's also at the base of a mountain, so that means potentially they can flank and get up high above you. They it's. It could take technically a smaller army could siege the keep with less troops because it's inside of a valley. So they just cut off the entrance to the valley and have standoff time. So it's overall a terrible defensive structure. Now working with that still. I go over. It looks hella sick.

[Cody]

It looks sick as fuck.

[Donut Operator]

It looks very sick. Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like in reality, what most people don't know about the structure is it's actually thanks to Peter Jackson, a miniature. So any normal sized person could just.

[Donut Operator]

Kick down the front door.

[Brandon Herrera]

Very suboptimal for an actual military incursion.

[Donut Operator]

Thank you.

[Brandon Herrera]

Thank you, Brandon.

[Donut Operator]

Suboptimal. You really hit the. Hit the nail on the head. Fantastic. Brandon.

[Eli]

That's the first issue. Well, it's built for ants.

[Donut Operator]

Peter Jackson didn't build it quite. Nearly big enough.

[Cody]

Really. Go ahead.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, you no, you first. You started.

[Cody]

I was going to speak on the lore that you were talking about. The one, the one spot you were talking about is that when the orc ran in with all the bombs on its back. And yeah, the one point that they didn't think about for hundreds of years to.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, maybe. And to be fair, who knows what sort of intel they're working with on new technology coming out of Eisen Guard, right? They have no scouts out there. I mean they have wargs that could maybe eat your scouts. So which are like these massive wolf beasts. So who knows how close you can even get to Eisen Guard undetected. Right. As a Rohirrim scout. So your intel gathering is very limited. So they're really going. I mean, you gotta think too the Urkai, a brand new meta class, heavy infantry. They're going up against, you know, a bunch of women and children at the Key. And the only guys that have fought these dudes dudes have been, you know, the people of the Fellowship. Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli. So they're the ones that truly know and have the intel on the Urukine. Legless mentions it at the. Shut the fuck up.

[Eli]

Dude, this is so good. Because also, you have to think explosives have probably never been used up to that point. So they're like, it's not a choke point. It's just like, oh, it's where the water runs through.

[Donut Operator]

We're good.

[Eli]

This is sewage. This is everything.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli]

So they weren't expecting giant fizzy thing like what the fuck is that?

[Donut Operator]

What is that?

[Cody]

Yeah, they didn't come up with gunpowder.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Context for the expression. I have a confession. I've never seen Lord of the Rings.

[Donut Operator]

It's all good. It's all good.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

I try not to be that guy that's like, oh, you haven't seen that movie over there.

[Brandon Herrera]

I've seen, like, I've. I've seen it throughout, like, five different watch sessions on TNT at Thanksgiving sort of thing. Like, I've seen several parts of it, but I know the lore. I just don't. I've never seen it all the way through. I've never sat down.

[Cody]

Gang watches Lord of the Rings because.

[Brandon Herrera]

I know, like, if you watch the. The director's cut or the version you're supposed to watch, the extended cut, like, if you watch all of them, it's like 20 hours.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, dude. It's like a miracle.

[Cody]

I have an idea. I propose we ran out of movie theater and we watch all of them back to back.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'd be down.

[Cody]

Not the gay ones.

[Brandon Herrera]

Original three. So that's. That's what turned me off to Lord of the Rings because I was like, all right. So I was homeschooled the last few years of high school. Like, Lord of the Rings is like a thing you have to do. You have to watch it. And so I went to go see the Hobbit.

[Eli]

I'm sorry.

[Brandon Herrera]

That was my first full Lord of the Rings experience. Wow. This is fucking gay, dude.

[Eli]

If you want to see the biggest turn, it's like, let's take three books and turn it into three movies. And then it's like, let's take the shortest book, the Hobbit, and then turn it that into three movies. And then also Peter Jackson, by the way, you're going to be the third choice for a director, and you have to come in and fix everything what everyone fucked up. Good luck.

[Donut Operator]

Do you remember the GoPro scene in the river?

[Eli]

Yes. Oh, yeah.

[Donut Operator]

Terrible, dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

That was the point, I think, where I started texting in the theater. I did not give a shit.

[Cody]

We take all of our friends and we do a marathon. All three Lord of the Rings. We ran out of movie theater.

[Eli]

It's for 12 hours.

[Cody]

For 12 hours.

[Eli]

It's literally, if we get like a director cut, extended edition is. I think it's like 13 hours or something.

[Cody]

Does Lord of the Rings.

[Brandon Herrera]

I feel like if we. If we found like a smaller theater on an off day, like just like on a random Tuesday during the day. That's not that expensive.

[Eli]

No.

[Brandon Herrera]

God, no, dude.

[Cody]

It costs a couple hundred bucks.

[Brandon Herrera]

Maybe like, for everybody together.

[Cody]

Like, dude, like two grand.

[Brandon Herrera]

We watch it, split it 20 ways.

[Cody]

Yeah, we all just watch Lord of the Rings for an entire day in a movie theater.

[Eli]

I. I got to experience that in a movie theater, which I did too. Oh yeah, you're in same age. Dang, dude.

[Donut Operator]

What was that like?

[Cody]

Dude, it was awesome.

[Eli]

It was high school, was dope as shit. Just like Kill Bill. It was those things where you're like.

[Brandon Herrera]

I've never seen a Tarantino movie in theaters. I wanted. I wanted his last one.

[Eli]

We have to go.

[Brandon Herrera]

I regret not having the experience of seeing Inglourious Bastards in theaters.

[Eli]

That Inception.

[Cody]

Oh, good.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli]

Interstellar. Interstellar 70, dude, 75. Doing that at like the IMAX was the greatest experience I've ever had. I was like, Eli and I got.

[Cody]

Like the top tier our years. I remember we got to see all that shit in theater.

[Donut Operator]

I did get Dune 2 in theater in the IMAX. That was great. Oh, I think both dunes technically. But like when Dune 2 started in the IMAX, it was like I just melted into my seat. It was so good.

[Brandon Herrera]

So both Dune movies, I had a cheat code because I had Cody to my left. Every time we were. A Dune movie has come out because I would. I never read the books. I would have never understood like half the intricacies of the plot if it wasn't for me going, what the fuck is happening? All right.

[Cody]

Paul Atreides and.

[Eli]

Cody is not a worm. Dude gets so hyped on. Dude, I love this.

[Cody]

Actually doxed your face the first time to the.

[Brandon Herrera]

Chase. Can we put that one on the screen?

[Donut Operator]

Oh, shit.

[Eli]

Admins here.

[Cody]

There was one person. One person. It was like there was like two or three hundred thousand views on that vlog. Yeah, there was one dude that was like. Was that admin?

[Eli]

Delete, Delete.

[Donut Operator]

Funny enough. Of all the people that. Yeah. Of all the doxing that I've got Cody attributes to most of them.

[Eli]

I think that's a statement for multiple people.

[Brandon Herrera]

Such a fun weekend. Most of the time when you get doxed, it's by people who hate you.

[Eli]

Cody with Cody's demo's dog. Cody's like, here you go. Look at that. Cute. What was it? It was like the dog had bag, it's tag. It had all the information.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, yeah, I don't. I hate to victim blame, but maybe don't put your Social Security number on a dog tag.

[Donut Operator]

Wait, what?

[Brandon Herrera]

No, I'm kidding. You didn't do that.

[Donut Operator]

I was like, oh my God.

[Eli]

Address or something? Yeah. He text you pretty quick, right?

[Cody]

Oh, he texted me immediately when I released it. He was like, people are calling my house oh, because he just got the new puppy.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

And like, it's a big boy now.

[Cody]

But it was like right when he got it, and I was like, hey, little puppy. It was like my first time visiting San Antonio.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Cody]

Our first time coming to visit Demolition Ranch. And sure enough, there was one frame. If you go frame by frame, you could see the dog's collar that has demos, phone number, and, like, his name and everything on it, and people got his phone number.

[Donut Operator]

That's crazy. What was his phone number? Can you say it for the.

[Cody]

Yeah, yeah, it is. Hold on, let me bring you.

[Brandon Herrera]

All parasocial are why we don't do meetups.

[Eli]

It's crazy to see a frame and be like, he'll answer my call.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, that's for sure. Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's the crazy part. Imagine seeing that and going like, I have forbidden knowledge.

[Eli]

Hi.

[Brandon Herrera]

So, wow.

[Cody]

Because I was just having fun with this puppy and the puppies do. Doing this. It's having fun. And like the. The. Like the collar and the tag flips around for one frame. One frame. And someone went, oh, there's a phone number. Holy.

[Donut Operator]

These. These boys are dialed. These boys are dialed in when it comes to that stuff. What was it like? They will not divide us.

[Brandon Herrera]

He will not divide us. I was just gonna say that. The Shia lab.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. When they tracked down the flag on 4chan or whatever, it was. Star pattern.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

And at one point, like, after, after, they were just like, all right, fuck it. Finally, like, we cannot do this. So they just stuck it to, like, a flag on the wall inside of a house where you can't see any sky in the background. You can't see anything. And they were able to track it down to an apartment in the uk.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, my God.

[Brandon Herrera]

And they. They started fucking with the stream bike. There were blinds. They were shining laser pointers through it. And like, with the streams, like, dude, weaponized autism is terrifying.

[Eli]

Scary.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Have you ever Talked to those DoD like, data analysts actually responsible for putting warheads through windows? They're fucking ridiculously dialed autistic.

[Eli]

Yeah. You need to be to do any of that stuff. You find comfort in it. Fuck that. All alone. Time to trim the old pubes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hey there, beach babe. Are you ready to soak up those summer vibes and get the perfect beach bod?

[Eli]

I don't have pants on.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, I noticed.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, yeah, Helms Deep.

[Eli]

I love our cages. We're like. And then we got to Demo's dog somehow.

[Donut Operator]

Where was I on the Helms Deep topic.

[Eli]

Arrows blowing up. It's a shitty fortified position, right? It's miniature.

[Donut Operator]

So if we go off the rules with inside the world, right? So ideally, if King Faden wants to stick with going to Helm's Deep, which I think he shouldn't have, I think he should have moved further away, maybe more towards Gondor. Nonetheless, taking everyone. And then have the horse army intercept all the Uruk Hai. Now, the Uruk Hai, numbering at least 10,000 strong, will be going against a horse army, about 2,000. That may sound like they're outnumbered, but. But there's a historical battle called the Battle of Cary or Carai, where Crassus went into Parthian and his legions got absolutely messed up by the parthian horse archers, 9,000 or 9,000 horse archers, 1,000 cataphracts. And cataphracts would be like the heavy cavalry of the day. Now, that horse army absolutely worked over Crassus's heavy infantry, the premier heavy infantry of the Mediterranean at that time, going against the premier horse archers of the time that we know of. And the horse archers won with less numbers. So if we take that and we say, okay, well, we have a baseline where we could succeed. That horse archer army shows up, intercepts the Uruk Hai. And they don't engage in melee combat in a movie style. They would just ride around shooting their bows at them until they wither that army down over time because they're entering into the massive step. That would be Rohan, right? So that was my Proposition of a better overall plan. Now if King Theta wants to stick with that, he goes to helm zp essentially would have to start digging trenches as fast as he could. And I would say dismantling the drawbridge in so that the Orai don't have instant access to a plywood door that they could walk right up to get access. And then so.

[Eli]

And then what?

[Donut Operator]

I also propose essentially you ditch the deepening wall because it adds no extra benefit. He got blessed by I would say the premier archers of Middle Earth, the Lothlorian archers who show up out of nowhere, 500 deep. From the estimates on that I could find, they said regiment, which I think a regiment, put them up to a thousand. But I think going off the numbers I saw was 500. So okay. And then they have 300 additional ROHAN fighters. But of those 300 fighters, it's not a lot of the cream of the crop of like infantry dudes. It would be like you know, old dudes, young kids. So it's like ah, what are we gonna do with these guys? Essentially I would say move everyone into the, into the Hornburg to the keep. Ditch the wall. And then you would have archers rotating on shifts because like these Elvish archers, you know, elves live for who knows how long. They have Elvish magic stuff. It's raining. If you look at history when it comes to archery, if it's raining, it's going to make your bow, bow string a little bit looser so that the bow is not going to be as effective. But they might have Elvish magic.

[Brandon Herrera]

How many top down strategy games do you play?

[Donut Operator]

A lot, dude. If you don't move, if you don't. If you're a grown man and you don't move troops around a board to take the edge off, I don't trust you.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm just looking at like your civ time on Steam.

[Donut Operator]

It's more so. Total War Games. Total War Games Total War Guy. I've replayed Medieval 2 Total War a lot. I'm hoping they will one day make a total war through a Medieval Total War three. But I have my doubts.

[Eli]

They. I think elves are eternal. I don't. I. I know they age, but I think they can live until they go to the. To the west. Right?

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, it's like I forget the name. My brother in law is a massive. He was read the Silian and everything. Or Sumerillian, whatever you say it.

[Eli]

Nerd. Roddick Gary. That dude has the absolute pinnacle of knowledge when talking about Lord of the Rings. He's Very pissed about the new series Extreme.

[Donut Operator]

Understand.

[Brandon Herrera]

I only know it because of Taylor for. I brought it up in the podcast we do with Nerd Roddick. I only know it because Taylor from PKA is so into Lord of the Rings Laura and is so upset by the new series. They didn't even get the Silverillion. I'm like, wow. They didn't even get the wow.

[Donut Operator]

How could they not?

[Eli]

What the fuck?

[Donut Operator]

How could they now? What's the matter with some.

[Brandon Herrera]

Look, dude, the action threshold for me getting pissed off at modern Hollywood is not very high. I don't even have to see the source material.

[Donut Operator]

Chances are it's gonna blow.

[Brandon Herrera]

I agree with you. It's like, what. What is that you. You fuck. One dog. It's like.

[Eli]

One dog.

[Donut Operator]

That means a Welsh thing, right?

[Brandon Herrera]

What's up?

[Donut Operator]

It's a Welsh thing with all the sheep and everything.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, I think it was the Germanic joke or something along the lines of, like, he build a thousand bridges. No one calls you a bridge builder. Fuck one pig.

[Donut Operator]

Ah, classy.

[Eli]

So then you would have just won the war outright, just doing it that way, like, okay, well, got it.

[Donut Operator]

So essentially, they. My big complaint is that they lost a lot of Elvish lives for no reason because they had them all at the deepening wall. So it's like, are you wasting, like, all these archers down there that you should have leaned into? Way more are getting murked now because they had the black powder to breach the wall. Now, I was playing with. All right, they see no. No infantry on the wall. Do you think the UR would still try and breach that wall? It's debatable. My thought was like, yeah, they're ur. They're probably just following orders, you know? So then they try and breach the wall and go through, and then all that black powder. Who knows how much they brought. Is discharged. Now they don't have to worry about it. With the Hornberg, I can stop. Like, this is going on for a bit.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're. You're finding Nemo video in your new channel. Two minutes helms deep. Three hours, 47 minutes and one second here. You're just, like, sketching on your whiteboard.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, was there.

[Donut Operator]

Actually, there was actual white.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, I fucking guessed on that.

[Donut Operator]

That was pretty dialed in.

[Eli]

Yeah, that was pretty locked in. How is, like, I like the scene where it's like, everyone draws on a. Not a compound bone. An actual, like, oh, it's the old guy that's like.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, all right, dude, get the hell out of. You guys ever pull a bow Back once in your life. Yeah, shut the hell up.

[Eli]

And then chaos starts. Yeah, love that. So that's your new content? Pretty much.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, that's a new autism where you like. It's just like we watch gun movies and we're just like, ah, that's just. That's bullshit. This is awful. I can't enjoy this. Now that you're in the bow world, you're like, oh no, they would never do that. That's garbage.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, pretty much. Dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

Every time you get a new tism unlocked movies become shittier.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, it sucks, dude. Dude, it sucks.

[Eli]

Suspend belief.

[Donut Operator]

But yeah, no, it's a. It's a new channel. I'm probably gonna ice the manager outcomes channel for a bit. Focus on bureau files and just admin.

[Brandon Herrera]

Why do you think that? Why, why, why do you make that decision? I guess too much.

[Donut Operator]

I think there's just too much content. If I were to do all three, like nonstop and I'd probably get burnt out myself. So I'm gonna ice it for a little bit because I've been doing podcasts and stuff on Mandurah Outcome, so I.

[Brandon Herrera]

Enjoyed some of the podcasts. Like the one. The one video you did with. I don't know if this was on managerial outcomes or not, but Sam Hyde.

[Donut Operator]

That video, that was on my main.

[Brandon Herrera]

Okay, that was very good. That was hilarious, dude.

[Donut Operator]

Sam's awesome, man. Sam's a really cool dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

It seemed like a really fun time because I could tell, like you're trying to be straight, man. And I could just see you breaking. It is so hard because Sam is so funny.

[Donut Operator]

Dude, those guys, Those guys are. Let me sit on them quick. They are so fast. Just him and his crew. Like, they're there. You can't keep up, dude. You cannot go toe to toe with their humor. They've been doing it for years and they're very good at it. Like it was very humbling. Like I thought, like, oh, haha, I got some funniness to me now. Those guys blow you out of the.

[Brandon Herrera]

Water bit where you shoot in the Arasaka. Boom, hit. Boom, hit, boom, hit. You can stop. It's a child.

[Eli]

Three kills. They're all children. What are you doing?

[Donut Operator]

Stop this madness.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, it was so fucking. Just watching that video for 20 minutes. I was never bored. Yeah, it was just really good. Really good.

[Donut Operator]

It was a great time. He was. He was a blast to. And they were great sports about coming out and like shooting in the Arizona summer too, because I think it was like June when they were out. So it was it was hot as balls, but they're awesome. And I got to go see their comedy show.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, really? How was that?

[Donut Operator]

Oh, it was hilarious, dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

I hear they basically just terrorized the audience.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was pretty. It was 10 out of 10 and not YouTube term. It was fantastic. It was wonderful.

[Eli]

Is there a reason why, like, I know we talked about YouTube terms. Yeah, well, before we talked about it, it's like, that's when they do not allow phones or anything. Because that is one where, you know, we can't record this one. That would not be a good.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, so that's why we don't bring. We don't allow cameras in the live shows.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Some of us have careers.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, it was one of those. Yeah, definitely. Where it was very enjoyable.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli]

So how was the watching how they did that entire thing? Because this, if you guys haven't watched it, is absolutely insane. Like lighting people you. Was it part of the bits and warning everyone beforehand. You're like, hey, we got this bit where we're gonna flashlights with a.

[Donut Operator]

No, we just attacked into it live. I just made sure the guns were safe. And I was like, all right, what do you want to do? And we just kind of compiled everything after they would do their bits.

[Brandon Herrera]

Still safer than Alec Baldwin.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, still safe. Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Bizarre.

[Donut Operator]

It was fan. It was wonderful, dude. It was wonderful. It was a real treat. Getting to see their level of talent and fold.

[Eli]

Jesus Christ. That was one of the most surprising ones. Like, oh, and it worked. It did really good. That was like a monster.

[Brandon Herrera]

On your channel.

[Donut Operator]

Pretty solid.

[Eli]

What's your next video for your new third channel?

[Donut Operator]

It's tbd probably something about how, like, humanity is cooler than alien. I want to talk about James Cameron's Blue Freaks. Oh, essentially like Avatar. Yeah, yeah, Avatar. Right. We'll have a giant blood blue. Like how that dude gets sent into giant blue cat girl and how humanity is better than they are kind of things. Like, I was watching that movie and I was rooting for the space Marines.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, these mothers ain't making God's image.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. It was like, dude, my space racism is up to an all time high. We're playing a lot of Warhammer 40K too.

[Brandon Herrera]

Basically, you're just like, oh, yeah, this is just the Pocahontas in outer space.

[Donut Operator]

I was like, get out, space savages. Dude got one whiff of giant blue tail and he's like, all right, forget my own race.

[Eli]

That blue tank.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. Oh, God. And then they use one tactics to go blow up a giant tree. I'M like what the hell?

[Eli]

We travel across fucking light years to go there and look. No, no, gotta switch it all.

[Donut Operator]

Push a bomb out of the back of a cargo plane.

[Brandon Herrera]

Look, the only reason why we did not just completely lay waste. We did a little bit. But not to the degree we could have in the Middle east is because we felt bad because they're people. Yeah, Avatar. That's off the table. They're aliens that are killing humans.

[Donut Operator]

Them.

[Brandon Herrera]

Dude, we're glassing the out. All we need is a mineral. Dude, robots can come get that after we glass the surface.

[Donut Operator]

I didn't see no blue cody.

[Eli]

What's that 15 foot pud?

[Cody]

Give me a big blue pud.

[Brandon Herrera]

He wants that. He wants that navi tail. Literally.

[Cody]

This man couldn't walk. Walk. And he finds big blue puss. Come on.

[Brandon Herrera]

He just wakes up in a big blue cat. Man's like my dick works again.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, yeah.

[Cody]

Oh yeah. Humanity.

[Brandon Herrera]

I love how they have this technology. But they couldn't literally just Avatar him into a lab grown clone of himself to walk again.

[Cody]

They couldn't make this man walk again. He just instead making blue aliens.

[Brandon Herrera]

They could have diverted the entire premise of what their problem was in that movie.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, yeah.

[Eli]

Completely different move.

[Donut Operator]

So that might be on the roster. That might be.

[Cody]

Yo. But her locker. Am I right?

[Donut Operator]

You know what I'm saying? How those ELD guys so good at sniping you tell me.

[Cody]

Isn't that what happened?

[Eli]

Do they drive out by theirself? Ah. It. I hate Hurt Locker so much. Despise that movie so much.

[Cody]

It was him and his wife fighting against each other for the best movie that year. Wasn't it Jeremy Renner, the whoever directed the blue Alien movie.

[Brandon Herrera]

Cameron and James Cameron.

[Cody]

And then was the wife, the one.

[Eli]

That directed Hurt Locker. It was a female that directed her.

[Cody]

Like it was like. And his ex or like his wife.

[Eli]

That's crazy. No, you might be teaching me something brand new.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's why Catherine Bigelow.

[Eli]

Wait, they were competing?

[Cody]

Yeah, because he made, you know, big blue space aliens. And then she did Hurt Locker and then they were like competing against each other for the award that year.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think.

[Cody]

I think I could be wrong in this.

[Eli]

I did not even know that Zero Dark Thirty as well that okay. Zero Dark Thirty banger. We just watched that the other day. That military very well. Hurt Locker not at all like period.

[Brandon Herrera]

The Hurt Locker won the Oscar for best Picture over Avatar.

[Eli]

Yeah, yeah.

[Cody]

And that was. That was his ex wife. Right? Maybe I could be fucking don't know.

[Brandon Herrera]

But this actually adds some interesting context. Avatar cost 230 million to make.

[Eli]

But how much did it make? Watch this.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hurt locker cost 11 million.

[Eli]

Yeah, but hurt locker made, what, I'm guessing 400 million. But Avatar crossed 2 point billion or 1.8 billion.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, yeah, when you put it that way.

[Donut Operator]

Jarvis, pull up the numbers, please.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hurt locker earned $27 million.

[Eli]

Oh, never mind.

[Brandon Herrera]

So over double. But the amount of money a movie makes. Yeah, you quantify how good it is.

[Eli]

I hate Hurt Locker.

[Brandon Herrera]

Avatar.

[Eli]

Least realistic war movie I've ever seen.

[Brandon Herrera]

Avatar earned over 2.2 billion.

[Eli]

That held the highest gross. Is that still the highest gross?

[Brandon Herrera]

No, I think Endgame.

[Eli]

Oh, and Gray. That was.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Or Infinity War, probably, and then Endgame. But yeah, but, yeah, the Unobtainium is so lazy.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, it is, dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like. Are you serious right now?

[Eli]

Wait, is that what it's called?

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm dead serious. This. That is one of those things that, like, made it somehow, like, because you couldn't come up with a better joke, it made it from the first draft of the script when it was on a back of a cocktail napkin, all the way to the final cut.

[Eli]

James Cameron's like, this is a joke. I wrote this down as this is joke.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, we recorded the lines.

[Eli]

Yeah, yeah. Hurt Locker. No war. If you don't. A single unit doesn't just leave the gate. You're not allowed to leave the gate as just a Humvee and bug. Bye. Yeah, bye, guys. The gate guard would be like, what the. Where's your fucking team at? Where is, like, the other four vehicles? And then you're not running out in Downtown Bag trying to save a kid.

[Donut Operator]

No. You got this confused because when you were deployed, you weren't the protagonist. Like, you were just an NPC dude.

[Eli]

I see what the problem is.

[Donut Operator]

Like, your. Your protagonist arc wasn't until, you know, doing this whole thing, like. And we were in the military. You were expendable. You weren't Jeremy Ren.

[Cody]

100%. Why couldn't they have just come together and, like, big blue trying to disarm.

[Eli]

Bombs, you know, Hurt Locker meets Avatar.

[Brandon Herrera]

The Avatar Locker.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli]

This Blue P. Eli, what you don't.

[Brandon Herrera]

Understand about your military career is your entire life up to that point was just to be able to see the protagonist one time and say, patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

[Eli]

Hate that movie. The sniping, too. I forgot about that scene.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're gonna say New Vegas. I'm like, isn't it great?

[Donut Operator]

Like, Ralph Fine. Shows up and then gets killed. That his name. Ralph finds there's how guys that plays Voldemort.

[Cody]

Oh, yeah, like the general in there.

[Donut Operator]

No, no, he was a contractor.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

At the sniping scene. One of the best actors ever. They just like, all right, come to kill this guy real quick.

[Eli]

You're gonna do this. Okay.

[Donut Operator]

Killed him all. Yeah, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Damn, dude.

[Eli]

That movie is absolutely garbage. Very few war movies are done proper. That was. I remember all the awards coming out at that time for it. And every dude I knew that was in the military was like, hey, homeboy pulling up in a vehicle and the Jeremy walks up, he like points a good. Get out of here. That dude would have been lit up at the point where it says do not cross this barrier there.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli]

And especially with 18, 19 year old, 20 year old infantry dudes. If you don't think they're gonna. They are not reserved on the trigger. When a vehicle runs and blows the Checkpoint, they're like 240.

[Brandon Herrera]

Especially back in the day. Dude, that was. Yeah, it's a. It was a completely different thing in the later. I. I'm saying this like I was there, but like, dude, dude, thank service.

[Donut Operator]

Dude.

[Eli]

Dude, did you see?

[Brandon Herrera]

You're not even involved in this.

[Eli]

Brandon has a purple heart now, sir. I didn't know we were sl.

[Donut Operator]

Over here.

[Brandon Herrera]

Someone gave him a purple heart.

[Eli]

He's like, I'm putting on my watch and getting at it.

[Donut Operator]

Helms Deep, am I right? Brothers new channel's doing numbers. Helms deep videos got 70 views, I think, so far.

[Eli]

Crushing the game.

[Donut Operator]

Crushing it. Dude.

[Eli]

Isn't it wild? Just like, you're like, this is going. You put in all this effort and then you roll out and you're like.

[Donut Operator]

Well, I'm trying to do it organic. I'm not trying to, like push it just yet, like, too hard. I've been, like, doing it on Twitter because my worry is, like getting too many gun guys over that just want gun stuff. And they're like, wait, what's this? What's this nonsense? So I was trying to like, do a little bit more organically.

[Eli]

You're doing it because he doesn't even put his face on the thumbnail. So I was like, no.

[Donut Operator]

Kind of. I was kind of in the. I was kind of in the Helms Deep one. But it's not like they know your.

[Eli]

Face, but in the thumbnail. Yeah, I didn't see your face on the thumb.

[Donut Operator]

I was like pulling the bow.

[Eli]

Oh, that's you. Yeah, I thought it was. I thought you were an elven Archer.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.

[Eli]

Dude. Damn you.

[Cody]

What's your second channel?

[Donut Operator]

Manage your outcomes. Oh, bureau files. Bureau files. Good.

[Cody]

Well, you have a third channel now. Yeah, I thought you're talking about managerial outcomes.

[Donut Operator]

No.

[Cody]

Okay, okay, so what is it? What's the third channel?

[Donut Operator]

Bureau files. Gotta keep into that. Corporate. The corporate zeitgeist.

[Cody]

How do you fuck do you spell bureau?

[Donut Operator]

That was really hard to learn how to spell bureau for this channel. How many times I type it in for getting it set up.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're like, I really want something that's going to grow organically, not based off my brand. Let's make it absurdly hard to spell.

[Eli]

I bet Google trends love that word.

[Donut Operator]

B U, R, E, A U.

[Brandon Herrera]

What's your degree of confidence on that?

[Donut Operator]

70? 30. Oh, geez.

[Eli]

Like fuck. I'm going to rename it now. New rebranding.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Cody]

How it would properly defend helmste.

[Brandon Herrera]

I feel like you should just call it the Fatter Files.

[Donut Operator]

That guy nicks onto something.

[Eli]

Dude. I love that style of. That's like one of my favorite. I will just put on especially late. And I'm like, okay, that's the goal. Tune my brain out and just eat. Consume, nerd.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, that's the goal. When you're on the toilet, when you're eating. To me, when someone's eating food and watching YouTube, like, it is genuinely the highest honor you can give to a YouTuber. How many times I've sat down with my food and I pull up you guys with your respective channels and I watch. It's been a lot. It's been a lot.

[Eli]

Oh, thank you.

[Donut Operator]

Don't get sentiment. Don't get sentimental. You started now.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, no, that and, like, I watch YouTube, like, to. When I wake up in the morning, like, to turn my brain on. I get in the shower. Like, I shower. I take long showers. Just, like, wake up, the first thing, roll out of bed, go to the shower and watch YouTube and just have it, like, playing in the corner. And that's how, like, my day starts. Yeah, and you've been that for me, too, man. The amount of time you spent with me in the shower.

[Donut Operator]

That is. That's a dream come true.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli]

God.

[Donut Operator]

Can't believe I've been in the shower with you before.

[Brandon Herrera]

18 naked cowboys in the showers in Ram Ranch.

[Eli]

What are you doing?

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, he really likes the video.

[Eli]

Yeah, he's a flying air. Cute video.

[Donut Operator]

Thank you. Anyway, so where was I? Everyone shut up. I'm gonna defend the wall at Helm's Deep. No, it's not your turn. No Mexicans. You don't know about that. Defending the wall. You're Mexican people coming in willy nilly. This is ridiculous.

[Brandon Herrera]

If you were going to defend the wall, you'd want to ask the people who've been over it. So you can make sure that's not a problem.

[Eli]

Replace your guy with Mexicans.

[Donut Operator]

10,000 heavily armed Mexicans show up to Helm's Deep. And I said, this is not 2 million orcs.

[Brandon Herrera]

2 million orcs a year. It's actually growing under Kamala. Kamala's letting all the orcs in.

[Donut Operator]

They're gonna swing the votes of Rohan, and it's not okay. Absolutely not okay.

[Eli]

The whole white guy loves an error. Go, Pierces.

[Donut Operator]

Who knows what kind of Urakami Mexicans are getting in. They could be radical Mexicans. Okay, you.

[Brandon Herrera]

Some of them are. Some of them are dealing drugs. And some of which, I assume are good people.

[Donut Operator]

They're just seeking a better life. Some of them, allegedly. But the Elvish Archers don't know that.

[Cody]

Dude, the orcs cared about their families.

[Brandon Herrera]

The new rings of power. Have you seen any of Rings of Power?

[Donut Operator]

I Just want to kill orcs in the masses. You tell me they got a family. You tell them I'm looking at these orcs and they got families.

[Brandon Herrera]

Dude, we were joking about how, like, they. Basically, they turned it into, like, an allegory for Israel, Palestine.

[Donut Operator]

I just want some fantasy where I can just wholesale kill a faction of whatever without having any sort of guilt.

[Brandon Herrera]

Nor no moral ambiguity.

[Eli]

They are the bad guy.

[Donut Operator]

Just bad. You know, Bad. And that's all I want.

[Eli]

That's how you have any interest in.

[Brandon Herrera]

The Marine Corps, brother.

Oh, shit. Is that what it is? I know. Is that cool?

[Brandon Herrera]

Dude.

[Cody]

[Brandon Herrera]

We said worse than this with a congressman on.

[Donut Operator]

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, probably, yeah. We didn't say big blue, but, yeah, you get the gist, you know?

[Cody]

But then big blue. Am I right?

[Brandon Herrera]

I feel like you're really slow over there, dude.

[Cody]

Fucking Aaron started talking about him first.

[Eli]

You know, hard cut to Vanessa.

[Brandon Herrera]

Vanessa, I feel like you need. You know what you need to do for Halloween?

[Eli]

She's on stilts.

[Brandon Herrera]

Tripping. All right.

[Cody]

Like, my feet don't work in this wheelchair. You're the stiff. Then you're going to dye yourself blue. Don't worry, don't worry. It's my thing, baby.

[Eli]

You good?

[Cody]

I'm going to have Rich act like the angry Marine to scream at us.

[Brandon Herrera]

With his knife in the wheelchair. Stays on during sex.

[Cody]

My legs that don't work stay on during sex, baby. Be big and blue. Thank you.

[Eli]

No. Let me crawl towards the bed, babe. Cody's dragging him himself across the floor. You like, baby?

[Donut Operator]

You like, baby? She says that in the movie.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, we.

[Cody]

I'm thinking of Rich is in the corner screaming at me, knife handing. It's like, we hate these blue people. And I'm like, no, no, I love the blue.

[Donut Operator]

Big Blue looks so, so welcoming to you, horny vegetable man.

[Eli]

Cody horn. Cody must eat.

[Brandon Herrera]

Nabooski. I'm thinking, like, Nabisco. Like, you're just an Oreo over there.

[Cody]

Anyways, welcome to Avatar 3.

[Brandon Herrera]

[Brandon Herrera]

It's a good group of boys. We're all gonna die together.

[Eli]

When you watch. When you watch him in the shower, do you have the. The clicky thingy on the wall now?

[Brandon Herrera]

No, I still. I'm a psychopath because I just have, like, a ledge in my shower. It's like a tile ledge. And I just, like, stick my phone there. No matter how wet it gets, I just free ball. The thing from the live show is like in my wife. You degenerate.

[Eli]

We talked about freshwater jellyfish millions of times. Why is it screaming, Connor?

[Donut Operator]

Who's screaming?

[Brandon Herrera]

Is it come after they come out of the. A woman Yours doesn't scream.

[Donut Operator]

Makes you think of it makes you think of that monster from that one lake movie that eats them when they're on the raft. You ever see that?

[Brandon Herrera]

The Blob?

[Donut Operator]

The Blob? Is that what it is? Yeah, it's probably the blob, dude. Blobbing it up in your shower, Dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

Don't.

[Donut Operator]

Don't click on the thing.

[Brandon Herrera]

[Eli]

That's why it's like hearing this. I'm like, okay, I will actually sit back and watch somebody like this because you have like what are your top three as you're saying? Because we all have different top threes easily.

Your good lies. You don't watch any of your friends channel if you're like, I genuinely watch.

[Donut Operator]

A lot of my friends.

[Eli]

Oh no. Maybe I'm the 100. I know if there is a thing.

[Donut Operator]

Where you only have so much time if you're busy doing this. That's the thing where it's like you do lose track. Eventually I will catch up if I.

[Eli]

Am behind but dude's hours like watching on subs like 2 hours you don't have A lot of us do not have time for that. I love Cody, love Brent, love you.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli]

Not going to be like, I get to hang out with my friends all the time. I'm like, oh, what's Cody doing right now?

[Brandon Herrera]

Not really feeling the love.

[Donut Operator]

I saw it. Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, it's kind of weird because yeah like we. You only get so much time. So like I'll watch your stuff and like for example, Grant Thumb and I watch a lot of your videos. But like when it comes to gun content in general, it's like it's our work.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

So it's like that's not what I watch to unwind. But I do like especially when you Or Mike does a video that I actually like. It's on something that I really care about.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Then I'll watch it just to see that your opinion on it. And especially because we have a very similar sense of humor.

[Donut Operator]

That's true. Yeah.

[Eli]

So yeah. Pointless. Who else? Other Top. Other.

[Donut Operator]

Top two come back to me on that. Let me think about it. I want to get a genuine answer.

[Eli]

Brandon, go.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, really? I don't know. Who am I watching? I right now I think is creepcast. I'm watching a lot of creep cast. Like when I'm driving and stuff like that. That's really, that's fun.

[Eli]

They're good no matter what you got papa me for whatever reason popping me content or creep cast window. And you can just at night put it on the tv, tune out, be like, okay, probably gonna pass out to this.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

Just.

[Brandon Herrera]

And it passes time. Like that's, that's my eating, driving, showering, that sort of thing. Yeah. That's when I watch YouTube. Really. So that. Excuse me. When I drive I listen to YouTube.

[Eli]

Tesla Watch what user.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's bad. The. Yeah. Papa Meat. Papa Meat stuff is really good. I don't know. I think that's really all I'm watching these days is just that other than just, you know, my friend stuff every once in a while when it comes up.

[Eli]

But everyone has their like, hey, this is my comfort YouTube. I hop in the shower to fall.

[Brandon Herrera]

Asleep every once in a while. Oompa ville. Yeah. Red thread. Red thread now too. When, when. So Isaiah and Caleb are now co hosts on that.

[Donut Operator]

That's really cool.

[Brandon Herrera]

So that's really cool. I've been enjoying that.

[Eli]

Cody.

[Cody]

No, I like, like going off of what you were saying. I've been listening to a lot of creep cast. Like Moody and I drove down, drove to Dallas last night. Four hour drive there. Four hour drive back. I was listening to creep cast all the time.

[Brandon Herrera]

Listen to the gas station one.

[Cody]

Yeah, dude, the gas station one. When you get, when you get Hunter and Isaiah together, this them bantering off of each other. Plus like creepypasta things is so good. It's so fun listen to. So that's been my main listen to lately. And other than that. Yeah, when I, I'm the same as you. When I wake up, I get in the shower, I'll listen to your newest video.

[Brandon Herrera]

Huh.

[Cody]

Yeah. And then I'll, I'll go through Aaron's, I'll go through G's.

[Donut Operator]

I just, I, I, I just, I'm a little alarmed that you like wind considering how Many probable friends he has.

[Brandon Herrera]

He's a right wing extremist.

[Donut Operator]

He's a right wing jihadi extraordinary extremist.

[Brandon Herrera]

I just don't the Apple understand why you would listen to somebody so problematic.

[Donut Operator]

You should probably really check your wind. Privilege.

[Cody]

That's true too.

[Eli]

People are racist, dude.

[Cody]

I should start listening to Reddit more.

[Donut Operator]

You know, you should.

[Cody]

They're right about everything.

[Donut Operator]

They're all wise scholars. They're all very well learned individuals.

[Eli]

Drama ready.

[Donut Operator]

They can all bench over 225 for sure.

[Brandon Herrera]

How many marginalized creators have you added to your roller lately?

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, I couldn't keep it going. You got me. You got me.

[Brandon Herrera]

Actually. Well, I'll add one. A guy that I kind of like listening to. It's kind of in a similar camp as like critical drinker and whatnot. Oh, super good is Cosmonaut Variety hour. He's pretty good.

[Eli]

He's like, never heard of this one. Caught.

[Brandon Herrera]

He's definitely not.

[Donut Operator]

More.

[Brandon Herrera]

He's not so much in like the right wing circle as far as like the movie critics and whatnot. Which is why I kind of like adding that in.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just so I kind of like check my own biases and things like that. But he's pretty good on his music review or, excuse me, movie reviews. And so I like listening kind of like alternative takes. Because if you get in your own echo chamber too much, it seems don't do ever.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli]

Like branch out. That's why, like, I am Quinn's idea for bedtime. Dude just talks about sci fi movies and breaks it down. I think I kicked you guys links of that. He goes over like the jaunt or anything related to that. The Pro3 bottom three body problem. Really good at breaking down movies or books. And then my nerd, where it's Speedrun guy.

[Brandon Herrera]

I've showed you.

[Eli]

Summoning salt. Love summoning salt. That dude so good at breaking. It's only once a month. Once every two months he puts a video out, but he spends an hour and a half breaking down movies. And they got flagged off of one for Sonic or something. He said three curse words. Flagged in an hour and a half. Video fought it and then they kicked back. They're like, sorry, that was our bad. And then immediately flagged it again. Age restriction, three curse words.

[Donut Operator]

Oh my God.

[Eli]

He pointed out on Twitter. He's like, guys, like, I rarely cuss in a movie. How can you Age restrictions. This versus Ian pointed out, like, Angry Video Game nerd. Anyone else? Our podcast. No idea how we get away.

[Brandon Herrera]

We got yellowed on the last one that went live.

[Eli]

Yep.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yesterday. Yeah, I saw. It's finally. It's finally back green. But, like, we follow the guidelines as much as we can. Like, we have an editor that censors it, so we are compliant.

[Donut Operator]

So it's like there's a whole nother YouTube for kids.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like, right? Yeah. Kill. You're crazy.

[Cody]

Wild.

[Donut Operator]

Crazy age or shit.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's almost like parents should take more control over their children's lives when it comes to the content that they're prod presented.

[Donut Operator]

I was crazy once.

[Brandon Herrera]

Crazy why? They put me in a room. A rubber room.

[Donut Operator]

Rubber room with rats.

[Brandon Herrera]

Rats make me crazy. Crazy, crazy.

[Donut Operator]

I was crazy once. Put me in a room. Remember?

[Brandon Herrera]

All right.

[Eli]

I don't know. Cody just got demonetized in four hours for his video.

[Donut Operator]

Congrats. Is that a new record? What's your fastest demonetization, Cody?

[Brandon Herrera]

Crazy chick with a knife.

[Cody]

Yeah, it's all good.

[Eli]

Now yours, dude, Pepper Box. You're slaying on Pepper Box because you have such a different vision of content when it's like, here's this. This is still going to get restricted if I do quacks and blur out everything. But if you want to watch that, completely good to go, Pepper Box.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'll say I prefer watching our content on Pepper Box just because it's, you know, it's no censorship.

[Cody]

It's.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're watching what the creators actually want to make. Watching your videos on Pepper Box hits different. Yeah, because it goes from like, the quacks and the. Everything's blurred or whatever. It's like, I know what happened, but it's just like. Everything's just like, oh, with the background music, like, fun and jovial. On Pepperbox, it's like, oh, this is a snuff film, basically.

[Eli]

It's like a different video all together.

[Brandon Herrera]

You have to watch the same thing Cody and his editor have to watch when they're making it, which is why they don't like murder content so much.

[Cody]

Hey, 1002 videos.

[Donut Operator]

I was gonna say, congrats, dude.

[Eli]

You had a thousand.

[Brandon Herrera]

You didn't yourself.

[Cody]

Don't let me die.

[Eli]

Not yet. Two more years.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're doing this to your 90.

[Cody]

Eli and Jake won't let me die.

[Eli]

New comments are just like, they think we have you in a contract. The comments are like, wait, is Cody in a contract?

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like paper box 2077. Cody's Mr. House in the fucking tube. Like, oh, just kill me.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Cody]

It's like, anyways, this guy got shot.

[Donut Operator]

A New phaser shooting just happened with the police.

[Eli]

Like fuck.

[Donut Operator]

He wasn't eating his mandated bugs in the pod.

[Brandon Herrera]

Somebody tried to stab a Securitron outside of North Gate.

[Donut Operator]

Someone got into a DV with a Tesla sex bot.

[Cody]

Dude, the Tesla bot memes are killing.

[Eli]

Tesla bot looking at you when you're installing a vagina on the.

[Cody]

When the police are pulling me over, can I hand my Tesla bot an unregistered firearm? I tell him to hide it.

[Eli]

Tesla getting out and running with no emotion.

[Brandon Herrera]

I love the one where they use the IROBOT guy. And it's like. It's the whole like the dungeon with like chains and shits. Like my Tesla the robot figuring out why I bought it.

[Cody]

Dude, the. The words I saw today. The Walmart when I told the Tesla bot to scan the tomato and not the widescreen TV when I'm going through the self checkout.

[Eli]

God damn. Oh.

[Cody]

Oh, Jesus Christ. I'm going to miss that so bad because they said they're gonna be like 30 grand when they come out. I'm gonna make it do something.

[Eli]

It's a dangerous time frame. It's like, why did AI rebel against me? Let's see.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm gonna make it sit in the front seat of my cyber truck and pay attention to the road for me. Hit the steering wheel when it says to do so. So I can actually just nap in the back of my truck.

[Donut Operator]

Gotta be.

[Cody]

Hey, Tesla bot, do you know how to pixel peek in my house when people come in here? Okay, you're gonna prone. Do you know what prone is? You're gonna lay down prone the first.

[Brandon Herrera]

Time somebody gets swatted with like 10 Tesla bots.

[Donut Operator]

Is your Tesla bot more of a field bot or more of a house bot?

[Eli]

Holy.

[Donut Operator]

How should I drink this Tesla? You treat him like Jerry.

[Eli]

Should I pick a wood Tesla bot down the street?

[Brandon Herrera]

Who's that peck of wood that blows the glass? Jerry.

[Cody]

Oh, you treat that Tesla bot like Jerry.

[Brandon Herrera]

Should I treat him like humans, big daddy?

[Donut Operator]

No, I did not say that.

[Eli]

Who's that Tesla bot?

[Brandon Herrera]

Can't Tesla bot up on that?

[Donut Operator]

You get that Tesla bot down from that cyber truck right here now, boy.

[Eli]

Good luck, Chase.

[Brandon Herrera]

You don't behave, we're gonna chip you in the field.

[Eli]

Tesla bought out the hot box.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, God.

[Eli]

Oh, man. Tessa. I was gonna hate mankind.

[Donut Operator]

God.

[Brandon Herrera]

You know, wait. When the. When the robots rebel, we deserve it.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, that was.

[Eli]

That's what they said. Well, so we're looking forward to AI.

[Donut Operator]

I can't wait for my new overlord.

[Eli]

So Many Tesla bots. How much are they buying? They're 30 grand. They're supposed to be about 30 grand when they roll out. How many years did he say before those actually hit?

[Cody]

Dude, it's only a couple years down the road.

[Eli]

Like, I was gonna get cheaper.

[Brandon Herrera]

Whatever he said we're gonna get more advanced. I love Elon to death. If it's two years is what if he said two years, it's gonna be four. Yeah, but no, I. I mean, I like us. There's all. There's so many talkers about Tesla where like, oh, it's never gonna happen. It's like they said that about literally everything he's tried, he's done.

[Eli]

From Mars to Tesla to the super. And they're. I mean, AI driving was him.

[Brandon Herrera]

You'll never get a rocket in orbit. You'll never re. Land a rocket. Oh, the cybertruck. That'll never make it to market. So many of the car guys, really. This thing is never going to get released to market. Everybody who doubts Elon's like, yeah, he's. He's always late on everything, but he always does it.

[Eli]

He's innovating. Brand new that we caught a rocket a week ago.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's wild. Most people caught a rocket.

[Donut Operator]

Insane, dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

They sleep on exactly how big of a deal that is. Holy. You're talking about, like, reducing the price of space travel so fucking much.

[Eli]

Geez, it was the most expensive part. And then they find a way to go. It's like, first, hey, let's land these. Which absolutely astounding to land a rocket. Now it's like, let's catch them. Let's make it even easier so it's not even having to touch down.

[Brandon Herrera]

Now think about every time you drove to the grocery store. If you had to slam your car into a wall at 80 miles an hour every time you did it there and coming back. Man, driving is so expensive.

[Eli]

There's no A car with no brakes.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, that was an S tier example. That was really good.

[Brandon Herrera]

Thank you, man. I appreciate that.

[Donut Operator]

My dumb little brain caught up now.

[Eli]

The robots will be the next wave of the future. Dude, 2030 is going to be wild. I'm gonna be afraid to go to your house.

[Cody]

How long do you think I always wanted to militia?

[Donut Operator]

I've always wanted a nice plantation, a bunch of Tesla bots working the field.

[Brandon Herrera]

Beep Bob. Beep bob.

[Donut Operator]

Beep Bob.

[Brandon Herrera]

Good thing they only come in white.

[Eli]

Oh, Admin, why are you shaking that spray can?

[Donut Operator]

I gotta protect him from the sun. The word robot comes from The Czech.

[Eli]

Word for slave, by the way.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, does it really?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yes.

[Donut Operator]

Exquisite.

[Cody]

That's. Stop using words.

[Donut Operator]

This is exactly what I wanted. Those checks, they're on to something.

[Eli]

They're on something.

[Cody]

Imagine if filled of 100 Tesla bots and the ATF rolls up. Boys go.

[Brandon Herrera]

They're just flipping cars and tearing them apart.

[Eli]

I would just love.

[Brandon Herrera]

I would just love if they're just there, just performing menial tasks everywhere and they're like, excuse me, we have a warrant. We hear from the atf, all of the robots just rotate over.

[Donut Operator]

Time to battle droids, boys.

[Cody]

I don't want these people here on my property ripping arms off.

[Brandon Herrera]

Alexa, play Mississippi Queen. Alexa, no. Alexa, no. Copyright.

[Donut Operator]

Copyright.

[Eli]

Alexa turned on and is like, hello.

[Donut Operator]

Copyright. Turn down.

[Eli]

We're going to get in so much trouble. Tesla bot.

[Cody]

Installed on all of them.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, why do you have them on the nanny bots too?

[Eli]

Jesus Christ. Allah. Ackbar. I cannot self detonate override.

[Brandon Herrera]

They're gonna get their 72 unopened computers.

[Eli]

We're making Tesla heaven.

[Donut Operator]

They worship the Holy Elon Musk.

[Eli]

Oh.

[Brandon Herrera]

The Church of the Singularity.

[Donut Operator]

The great Elon Al Gaiden.

[Eli]

Holy. Oh, so this weekend we're about to film a Grantham skit. We're about to do World War II. You're a main American actor. Is he shaving? Are you shaving?

[Donut Operator]

All trimmed, all trimmed down.

[Eli]

Trimmed down. Like clean shave.

[Donut Operator]

I don't know if I want to clean shave, dude.

[Eli]

That's why I wasn't sure. He's like, I want you in. This is a cool. And he was like, I'm clean shaven. It's like.

[Donut Operator]

Did he say it like, I'm clean shaven?

[Eli]

He said, I just shaved? No, he just said, I just shaved. I was like, oh, interesting. That was it, Mike. What do you mean by that?

[Brandon Herrera]

He shows up with a full beard. You're like, oh.

[Eli]

Oh, it's a racing stripe.

[Donut Operator]

I'm sorry, Mike. I don't know. You're paying my bills all of a sudden, telling me to shave. What's the matter with you?

[Eli]

I wasn't sure. I'm gonna change the script slightly.

[Donut Operator]

Hey, Mikey's YouTube buddy. It's a fucking. It's a farce. It's not the real war.

[Eli]

5 second bit.

[Brandon Herrera]

Real question for anybody who knows like, when you're talking about, especially I think, because it's Pacific War campaign that we're doing this week. Did they actually. I couldn't imagine they were strict on like shaving regulations or anything. Cuz, like, I Remember, like, my great great. Or excuse me, my great grandfather Foster, he always told stories where he's like, dude, people's teeth were falling out of their head because nobody was brushing their teeth. Like, basic hygiene was out.

[Eli]

It would make you. Surprisingly.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't.

[Eli]

Iraq, we'd still have to shave every day.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, I imagine Rack is probably a little different than you're in foxhole for four days.

[Eli]

But we live down sector. We didn't have showers or anything. Like, we got to rotate every 20, 22 days to shower.

[Donut Operator]

Was it a discipline thing?

[Eli]

Yep.

[Donut Operator]

Like, literally, like, if anything we have. It's like, at least we have shaving.

[Eli]

Because Battle of the Bulge, it would always talk about that. It's, like, cold as shit, and they're still like.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

And the show. Dick Winters was shaving.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

Like, snatched, like, smashing the ice in his. In his helmet kind of thing.

[Eli]

I think that was just kind of.

[Brandon Herrera]

Wild, like, to get water in. Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

I mean, if anyone's gonna shave, Dick Winters would probably shave new dick winners.

[Eli]

Have you been here since we, like, interviewed the World War II dudes?

[Donut Operator]

I haven't, no.

[Eli]

Did you watch that episode?

[Donut Operator]

I need to catch up, bro.

[Eli]

That.

[Brandon Herrera]

That is a wild way of saying no.

[Donut Operator]

I need to. I was trying to be political. Someone of your stature.

[Brandon Herrera]

That is why I was able to decide.

[Cody]

Well, Aaron, do you know about the beers?

[Donut Operator]

No. Fill me in, dude.

[Cody]

Eli. We had Don Graves and Al.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't remember his last name, but Al. The other Navy guy.

[Eli]

Al Sharpton.

[Brandon Herrera]

Not now. Sharpton one.

[Eli]

I know. I can do this. Al. Al chatwin.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, I'll chat one. There you go.

[Cody]

So these World War II vets sat in and they drank those beers, so we thought we would just keep those beers forever.

[Donut Operator]

As you should, potentially.

[Brandon Herrera]

Two of the last beers drank by World War II veterans, man.

[Donut Operator]

They're getting old, dude.

[Eli]

Don Graves, you want insanity? That dude and two battalions. He is the only flamethrower guy to survive. God, for the. He was there during the raising of the flag, and he. He was there.

[Donut Operator]

God.

[Cody]

And he was. He was what? He's five. He was like, five, seven, five, seven. £130, something like that. And he was carrying a flamethrower back through the entire.

[Brandon Herrera]

That is not light at all. You ever use one of those, like, old school flamethrowers?

[Donut Operator]

Not the old school. I have. I have the throw flame one that's like an actual, like, shoots 110ft.

[Brandon Herrera]

I have one of those two. And it's not radically different. Yeah, it's it's pretty similar. I think the old school ones are heavier.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

But other than that, like, it's. It's pretty cool. That gives you an idea. Pretty good idea.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. Yeah. Wild. When you. When you hit the flame, the heat that comes off that, the creaking. God, yeah.

[Eli]

Most terrifying part is when you're using those M2 float, those old M2 flame throws is when you turn on the gas, you hit creek. Oh, that.

[Donut Operator]

Sure.

[Eli]

What is that? That's fine.

[Donut Operator]

What was that?

[Eli]

Let me let the front for you.

[Donut Operator]

Dude, could you imagine, like, doing all the time to crawl up and you finally get to use your flamethrower? Oh, how good that would feel.

[Brandon Herrera]

Nut.

[Donut Operator]

I've been carrying this thing for God knows how many hours, and I finally get to have a barbecue.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, they were.

[Cody]

They were saying, what, the average lifespan of carrying one of Those is like 15 minutes or some like.

[Donut Operator]

Well, yeah, Imagine you're a Japanese soldier and it's like, all right, I can imagine getting shot to death, and then you see a white boy with a flamethrower running up like. No, on that guy. That guy. Shoot that guy.

[Cody]

Dude, he went through the entire Pacific theater with that, and he weighed 130 pounds.

[Brandon Herrera]

Alexa radically misunderstood the term Korean barbecue.

[Eli]

Yeah. They're talking about. It was the mortar strikes that they were. That would actually build their fortified fighting positions. Because digging it out at the beach, it was sand, so they couldn't get a good placement, so they would just run to where bombs dropped. They would use that and glass the. And like, that was the most safe part to be in. And then the only dude that he felt bad for that or I mean, he felt bad for watching a lot of comrades or it was a guy, a new private came up and he was like, hey, I'm gonna go stand up. Find the sniper that's been killing American troops. His buddy was like, no, let the private do it. They just got there to him. Oh, okay. So he's like, hey, private, you look for the sniper. He stood up instantly.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli]

Like, dude, that was the one that beat him up the most. Dawn. I was like, God damn, dude, that's wild.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, that's probably plenty of time to think about that too.

[Eli]

Yeah, 99. Yeah. Oh, very sharp, though, for 99. Like, you had Al and him, like, both of them. Very sharp. Although, like, 40 minutes in, I was like, he's just taking a nap. He's old. He's done his sleep return.

[Donut Operator]

Okay, nap time right now.

[Brandon Herrera]

Because that's one of the shortest podcasts We've had. Because, like, understandably, like, you know, your stamina is not what it was when you were 25. When you're a hundred years old, like, that's crazy.

[Eli]

I.

[Brandon Herrera]

If I am able to stand up for 20 minutes without myself at 90, I consider that a massive win.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

So to get him on the podcast at all was just a complete. Just genuine pleasure. It was.

[Donut Operator]

It was a magic being 100 years old, fighting through world war, and then in the future, a bunch of snot nosed kids are like, well, you want to talk about when you melted people on Iwo Jimmy?

[Brandon Herrera]

Welcome to Unsubscribe.

[Eli]

Do me a brand as long as.

[Donut Operator]

I can take a nap during it.

[Eli]

Yeah, Chase, you might have to bleep one word. You'll know that when he was like, yeah, Then you just kill the. Like, look at each other.

[Brandon Herrera]

I still think if anybody has the right to say it's Don Graves. Dear God. Because really, that's just. It's. It's just short. Shortening the name of the country.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

To me, that's not a slur. Slurs are much more inventive.

[Donut Operator]

I know. Much more creative. I had my video age restriction. I cut it out from my Arasaka, their new channel. Oh, no.

[Eli]

That's a good one, right? Iceberg.

[Cody]

All right, how about the helm, Steven?

[Eli]

Big blue.

[Brandon Herrera]

Where were we?

[Cody]

Where were we, boys?

[Donut Operator]

Oh, shit.

[Brandon Herrera]

Admins. Oh, shit. Admins here.

[Cody]

Hey, Eric, wait, hold on.

[Brandon Herrera]

There's girls here.

[Donut Operator]

When did you guys get girls at the podcast studio?

[Brandon Herrera]

Ew.

[Donut Operator]

Girls aren't real.

[Cody]

They suck dick. They're gay.

[Donut Operator]

Those are federal informants. Feds over there. High trout looking at a lot of feds over there.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's why I only tell them about the things you did.

[Donut Operator]

They look lovely, but they're gonna put you in. Welcome to a federal penitentiary, boys. Mark my words. I just made it up.

[Eli]

Okay? God damn it.

[Brandon Herrera]

You heard it here first. Folks don't trust women because they suck dick.

[Eli]

And that's gay.

[Donut Operator]

That's gay.

[Cody]

Very gay.

[Brandon Herrera]

If you're a four and she's an eight, take a hint.

[Cody]

What?

[Eli]

What's that?

[Brandon Herrera]

She's a fed. Oh, she's a fed. Yeah. Oh, wow. I so interested in Patriot missile program.

[Donut Operator]

I play a lot of World War Thunder. I can tell you all about it. Kimmy san, let me break it down for you, mama.

[Brandon Herrera]

Are you Representative Eric Swalwell?

[Donut Operator]

I do like some Asian girls.

[Eli]

Thank you.

[Brandon Herrera]

If you think that was bad, just know that there is an active sitting congressman who 100% a Chinese spy. For a long time and got away with it.

[Cody]

Wait, is he still a congressman?

[Brandon Herrera]

Brandon? Yes, he is.

[Cody]

Oh, he's still a congressman.

[Brandon Herrera]

He's still in office.

[Cody]

Look at that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Wow. Eric Smallwell. The guy who shit himself on live tv. That actually happened.

[Donut Operator]

They've been there.

[Brandon Herrera]

Not making it up, that is. I also suggested that we nuke American citizens for owning guns.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, God, I wouldn't have to pay taxes anymore. I'd be great.

[Cody]

God, dream.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, it's the one thing where it's like, oh, you need F16s to come up or to go up against the US military. So we could just drop bombs, we could level your whole neighborhood, blah, blah. You think your AR15 is going to do anything? It's like, my brother in Christ, you are my neighbor. How do you think this is going to play out?

[Donut Operator]

Let me reference the sand people from the pod races.

[Brandon Herrera]

You talking about the $20 trillion box cutter?

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. Sir, there's been a second box cutter.

[Cody]

Okay, Eric.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, man, I done spill on myself.

[Cody]

Can I call you Aaron?

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, you call me Aaron.

[Cody]

Kelly, one of my favorite things that you've done the past couple years that I do not miss an episode of is you breaking down characters in movies who are awesome. So you did Danny Archer.

[Donut Operator]

Yep.

[Brandon Herrera]

Which you did, by the way.

[Cody]

Yeah. I wore this for you today.

[Donut Operator]

Thank you.

[Brandon Herrera]

Blood Diamond.

[Donut Operator]

Blood Diamond Bros. Dude, you did both guys.

[Cody]

Carrio stuff.

[Donut Operator]

Like, it's so good.

[Cody]

Dude, I love seeing your breakdown of action movie characters. What's your favorite one that you've done so far?

[Donut Operator]

For sure, Danny Archer. A lot of. Dude. Just so much good lore and history there, especially in Western civilization here in America, we don't have a good education of the whole South African Rhodesian conflict. Like, when I was rediscovering it, like, or discovering in general, I was like, wow, there's a lot of rich history here. That was. This never, ever taught to us in the school system whatsoever. And then it's very obscure to us, even asking, like, my parents were alive during that time period. And I was like, you guys ever hear about like Rhodesia or you ever hear about South African? They're like, no, it was never in the zeitgeist. Like, it was just never a thing they thought about.

[Brandon Herrera]

There's so much Chinese telephone that goes on with that, that it's so misrepresented.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, you can very. You can have a very poor understanding of it based on what one side or the other tells you.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, yeah, I mean, definitely. Probably a lot of propaganda plays into it. There's definitely a lot of political feeling that goes into it. People will label you. Label you, if you have an interest in it. Bad things. My thing is, typically with history, I don't care. History is cooler than the political Cancel culture that we've experienced. I don't care. That was probably one of my favorite because it's like, Danny Archer as a character, too, is so cool, dude. You know, parents killed in Rhodesia, moves to South Africa, becomes a soldier, and who knows if he was a regular soldier. Got straight into the 32 Battalion, but the 32 Battalion itself is rich with history. And then he becomes a mercenary, probably with Executive Outcomes, and becomes a diamond smuggler. So I think it's like a really cool, like, as far as interesting characters go, I think it's a very, like, as, like, a dude, you're like, oh, that sounds like a cool career route.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's one of my favorite parts of your lore, is when you first started your channel, it was called Executive Outcomes.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

And then you changed it to Administrative Results, which is just a very. Just thesaurus pseudonym for Executive Outcomes, because the guy who originally went to prison.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Who ran Executive Outcomes came back, and you're like, oh, well, I need to change my.

[Donut Operator]

I thought it was. I thought it was.

[Eli]

No, I'm. I'm learning something brand new right now.

[Donut Operator]

I used to be exact.

[Brandon Herrera]

I. I was a fan when you were still Executive Outcome, frankly.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli]

But you know, this, Cody. Damn.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

This is what happens when you watch your friends content.

[Eli]

I know. Crazy. I'm never gonna start.

[Donut Operator]

I thought it was history. I thought it was gone to historical winds, and he brought it back as a mercenary company. I was like, oh, sorry, Mr. Barlow. As I yield. Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

To be fair, you get sentenced to, what, 20 years in the mines. You assume that's. That's history.

[Donut Operator]

That's history, baby.

[Eli]

Rewind. So he was actually this individual that you based everything off of. This is all based off of your YouTube channel. Original name.

[Donut Operator]

It was based off of the mercenary company that operated in Sierra Leone.

[Eli]

Go on. Like, I don't. I know very little about that. I know you guys have the watches in the movie, but do you want.

[Brandon Herrera]

To talk about, I guess, what led him to be incarcerated in the first place?

[Donut Operator]

It was a coup. Was. It was a Papua New Guinea. No, it wasn't with Papua New.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was something like that.

[Donut Operator]

Like, I'm totally blanking on this.

[Brandon Herrera]

They basically got bamboozled into running guns for an overthrow of a third world country that never happened.

[Donut Operator]

And they were immediately caught Count Dankle has a good video on it.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think that's actually.

[Donut Operator]

That's.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's whose video I saw on that.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. But like there was a post like this out there having the bush war in South Africa. Essentially, it comes down to a close. They disband the 32 Battalion. There's a lot of high speed guys. They form Executive Outcomes. I think it's Simon Mann and even Barlow. A lot of interest, like political intrigue with the UK still. A lot of their leadership seeing stuff. I think that was part of the coup.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, actually. Yeah. Because there was some higher echelon people in the UK government.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

That were kind of a part of making that happen.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. Well, Executive Outcomes played a huge part in Sierra Leone when they were having their civil war. They essentially came in and quashed the civil war. And then Executive Outcomes got accused of bunch, like war crimes during that, I want to say. So.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. And then they basically got caught. I think they were on the Runway with like a shitload of guns.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

That they were immediately apprehended for. It's like, hey, what you doing here, bud? And they're like, not aiding the rebels. And then the guy basically got sentenced to the diamond mines for 20 years.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

And that seemed like that's it. But now he's out and he's restarted his mercenary company.

[Eli]

Was he the one in the movie? Would have been more the Train, but.

[Brandon Herrera]

He wasn't in the movie.

[Eli]

Was it based off of that movie, like the top tier guy that was running it with the estate?

[Brandon Herrera]

No, the movie was more or less like, based on people who would have been in the original conflict. Like what they were doing later. It wasn't necessarily about. Man. I almost called it Managerial outcomes.

[Donut Operator]

Freudian slip.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

So in the movie. No, there was Colonel Coetzee and it's hard to say, like, who he was supposed to represent because the 32 Battalion, I think, had, you know, a number of colonels that oversaw it and there would have been different jobs for him. But I think in the movie it was supposed to be like, they never said what company it was, but it was supposed to be like, this is Executive Outcomes, but they never said it kind of thing.

[Eli]

Interesting. So, see, I didn't know any of that. Figured something would have happened from that running guns. And that was based off of. Instead of the diamonds, it was more.

[Brandon Herrera]

Based off of weapon running straight up mercenary.

[Donut Operator]

They had a great business model. So the mercenary group shows up to call the rebels. The colonel's also selling guns to the mercenary Group in exchange for diamonds. So there's the. He's getting kind of double. Like, was it almost triple dipping? I'd say he's getting diamond. Well, probably double dipping.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was playing both sides. So I come out on top.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, pretty much. One character, Cody. One character I wanted to do. And I was kind of like, writing the script out was Krueger from Elysium.

[Cody]

Oh, dude, Krueger.

[Donut Operator]

The problem is, is I. Like, there's a. I was kind of mapping out his timeline because he gets hired on in 2042 in the Elysium world, funny enough, he would have. If we go off the reality, if Elysium takes place in our world, he would have seen Blood Diamond. Oh, yeah. It's kind of fun. It's like I was asking Wind this question. I had a theory where it's like the reality cross into movies. An example of this I was thinking of is 16 hours later, where you have John Krasinski and the other guy who played Roy in the Office. In Theory, in the movie, they became operators. Well, yeah, there's that theory. But in the. In Theory, in the movie, they could have been watching the Office.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

Because the movie takes place in reality, and in our reality, we had the Office at that time point. So in Theory, like, these two guys, like. Like, I wish there was an Easter egg where they were, like, watching a clip they weren't in or something like that, or maybe watching Dwight do something funny. But, like, I don't know what to call that. I've been trying to find, like, a name for it. If I'm the first person to discover, like, to think of that, I get to call it the admin Theory or some like that. But I. I was thinking about that.

[Cody]

You think of them watching the Office.

[Donut Operator]

So, like.

[Cody]

Yeah, I saw that as Canada, as them growing out of the Office, where Pam. Both of them. Yeah, they're like this. They become operators. They're like, dude, we're joining the fucking.

[Donut Operator]

The timeline wouldn't work out, I don't think, because they would have had to been SEALs. Like, I don't know, start of the global war and terror, something like that.

[Eli]

I don't know.

[Brandon Herrera]

So that reminds me of. So in Avengers Endgame, when there's fat Thor, Robert Downey Jr. As Tony Stark, calls him Lebowski. It's like an offhand thing.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Which is funny because in the Big Lebowski, the main character was Jeff Bridges, who played the antagonist in the original Iron Man.

[Eli]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

So he seen Big Lebowski where Jeff Bridges was his business partner. So it's like. Well, that's a little awkward, I guess.

[Donut Operator]

Wait a second.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hold up.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, I wonder, what's that called? The comment section will let us know.

[Brandon Herrera]

But there's probably a term for that when movies are self referential on accident.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli]

Someone's breaking the fourth wall almost.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli]

Now I'm trying to think of any movies that have done that.

[Donut Operator]

I don't know if, like, would you consider it a fourth wall break stuff? I don't know.

[Eli]

Because then you're addressing their dress.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's almost like it's a deadpool.

[Eli]

Yeah. It's almost tug in cheek.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli]

16 hours later. Was it 16 or 16?

[Donut Operator]

13 hours.

[Brandon Herrera]

13 hours?

[Eli]

Yeah. You said six hours.

[Cody]

So the guy that works in the warehouse, that's Pam's boyfriend.

[Donut Operator]

That's Roy, actually. Yeah, that's Roy.

[Cody]

He's in 13 hours.

[Donut Operator]

He's in 13 hours, 30 minutes and 30 seconds.

[Cody]

So like in my head, I like to think him and Jim, they work at this paper company. And then Pam, both of them over.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Cody]

And they're like, hey, dude, you just like, I'll join the Navy.

[Eli]

You're.

[Cody]

You're gonna join the Marine Corps. And they just go off and be OPER operators.

[Brandon Herrera]

We'll never get over by a woman again. And then they get over by Hillary Clinton.

[Cody]

Pushing weight around, become operators and like pants.

[Donut Operator]

I like that. Head cannon. That's a good one.

[Eli]

Such a good movie. This is some good war. Top tier war movie.

[Donut Operator]

Exquisite.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was.

[Eli]

It was so funny.

[Cody]

Jim become an operator in 13 hours. He's just like, Pam. And he joins the Navy and becomes a seal.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, that's a good headcanon. I like that one.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's crazy because in a couple years he went from paper company to Benghazi.

[Donut Operator]

Reasonable.

[Cody]

Maybe he was like 21, 22 years old when he was working for Dunder Mifflin.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Cody]

And then he's like, how many seasons.

[Eli]

How many seasons are.

[Brandon Herrera]

It would have been 30 by the end.

[Cody]

You think so?

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't know how many seasons.

[Cody]

Maybe a SEAL and like, maybe he joins and he does a couple years.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Cody]

And then he starts contracting for the CIA. So he's like, man, I'm tired of like being under this the whole time. Under Mifflin, he joins the Navy and.

[Donut Operator]

Pam was the worst dude.

[Cody]

Yeah, exactly. He puts a couple years in and then he gets out and he becomes CIA. And then he goes to 13 hours. Timeline.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. The GRU contractors, whatever they are.

[Eli]

So it's 9 SE. So if he started 18, 28, which, I mean, what?

[Brandon Herrera]

Chris.

[Eli]

Kyle started at what age? He started late.

[Cody]

Yeah, yeah, he was late. He was like 20. He was late 20s when he.

[Eli]

Yeah, when he joined, to be fair.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was 9 11.

[Eli]

Ah, yeah, it was a little bit.

[Brandon Herrera]

Of a different time.

[Eli]

Slightly skewed time frame.

[Brandon Herrera]

You were supposed to never forget Connor.

[Donut Operator]

All right, there was this thing called Tower 7. All right, let me break it down for you.

[Eli]

When's that one on your file?

[Donut Operator]

I don't want to get assassinated.

[Brandon Herrera]

So, out of. Out of the buildings that weren't hit by planes, which was your favorite?

[Donut Operator]

For sure. The Pentagon.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh God. You took that a level deeper than I expected.

[Donut Operator]

All right. What happened to that gas station footage?

[Cody]

Come on, come on, come on, Connor.

[Donut Operator]

Okay, no, I'm gonna say something.

[Brandon Herrera]

Anti Semitic man. Hi.

[Eli]

So two days before the insurance goes through.

[Brandon Herrera]

So Gondor.

[Donut Operator]

There's been a second Orc army.

[Eli]

A second Orc army.

[Brandon Herrera]

Orcs are racist. Against which group?

[Donut Operator]

Why did Cody make me do this?

[Eli]

Here's a fun fact. Frodo didn't know le lost his name.

[Donut Operator]

Wait, you said Frodo didn't know Legolas? Correct. How? They were at the Fellowship together.

[Eli]

He never. He only spoke to him a single time in the entire three movies.

[Donut Operator]

Pardon? Yeah, but they were in the Fellowship. They were doing the whole thing. They were in Khazadum together.

[Eli]

So it's. It's really funny if you watch the scene of it. I never heard this theory until recently and it was oh, like Frodo. Legolas only interacted with Frodo ac single time. The entire time he spoke to him once. And that was during the. The Fellowship when they're talking about the Ring. Until then. Then he never interacts with him again. And then at the last scene when everyone's. When Frodo wakes up and you know he's like coming to after he dropped the ring and he's like, oh. He mouths everyone's name. The only. He's like Gimli in that dream sequence.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli]

Legolas comes in. He goes. And then Gandalf walks in after. He's like Gandalf?

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli]

He's the only one that.

[Donut Operator]

He saw that pointy eared bastard. And he said, I want nothing to do with those elves.

[Eli]

It's an actual bit. I was like. I was like, nah, that, that's not true. That can't be.

[Brandon Herrera]

Who is your favorite Lord of the Rings character?

[Donut Operator]

You know, it's kind of stereotypical.

[Brandon Herrera]

This is a gay little twink. Mine was Like a US Boromir.

[Donut Operator]

For sure. Boromir. I like Boromir a lot, dude.

[Eli]

Watch. When the Fellowship reunites after the battle, he greets everyone by name but when it comes to our favorite elf, he just awkwardly smiles at him. Just like me when my parents catch me looking at the big titty. I never realized they never interacted in the entire movie. I was like, that's not a thing. And then the guy's like, no, go back and watch. He never talks to him a single time. And then Legolas only addresses him once ever. Everyone else actually has an interaction with Frodo. I was like, that's a weird little bit I never knew about.

[Donut Operator]

This is peculiar.

[Eli]

This is a super peculiar thing.

[Donut Operator]

I didn't know that.

[Eli]

Where's the better one of it? Let me find it really quick.

[Brandon Herrera]

Boromir, dude, he dies very early on in the first film.

[Donut Operator]

Well, I think as a character arc, his is pretty. Pretty well established at first. He starts off, you know, gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king. As he's dying, he acknowledges Aragorn as the true king of Gondor and would have followed him anywhere. And so he has this, like, character arc that he undergoes. And you gotta think, you know, Boromir, they've been fighting the Orcs from, like, is what, Morgoth?

[Cody]

Whatever.

[Donut Operator]

No, it's from that one. You know, the. The. Or the Mordor Orcs. He been fighting them in that city for a bit. And so he gets this chance, dude, this chance with the. The nuclear powerhouse that is the ring. And they see the hope. And in the extended cuts, his dad was like, bring back the ring or else you're gay. And so he was like, I got to bring back the ring.

[Eli]

That was the only. In the extended cut.

[Donut Operator]

So he was like, I got to. I. Gondor has. I love Gondor. I'm a big Gondor guy. And so he has this whole thing where he's thinking about Gondor but then he ultimately is like, all right. Yeah, he has a character arc, you know.

[Brandon Herrera]

Died like a coward.

[Donut Operator]

He died like a coward fighting against a whole bunch of Urukai.

[Eli]

Yeah, he changed it.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's.

[Eli]

I think his redemption arc was that really well versus what they did. They tried to redo that in the new Rings of Power but, like, he actually was like, I up. I have to make this right. I'm gonna die fighting the Uri.

[Donut Operator]

Did he swore an oath? Yeah, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Question. Did he sled down a stairwell on his shield shooting? Yes. I'M getting there.

[Donut Operator]

That was his punchline.

[Eli]

Thank you. Sorry.

[Brandon Herrera]

Never mind.

[Donut Operator]

You get to think about trains.

[Eli]

Why are you fucking up this storyline?

[Donut Operator]

I know this one. I know it's me, Legolas. Yeah, he's building up the fucking joke.

[Eli]

Sorry. Go on. Here. Restart. Like, I never say that.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, never mind. So Tower Seven.

[Donut Operator]

All right. Yeah. Strange how that thing just collapsed and no one ever talks about it.

[Brandon Herrera]

How can Boromir walk on top of snow?

[Donut Operator]

I don't know.

[Brandon Herrera]

But I would, like, tell me that was Legolas.

[Donut Operator]

That. That was Legolas. Yeah, you're right. I saw that part. I was just in Vegas and I saw the craziest Field of Fire from the mgm, but I thought, there's no way that could have been a bump stock.

[Brandon Herrera]

Wasn't the mgm.

[Donut Operator]

Wait, what was it? I hate Country Rewind. I was just. I was just in Vegas and I thought, wow, what a field of fire the Mandalorian Bay has. Yeah, but there's no way that could have been a bump stock.

[Brandon Herrera]

But all I have is an M240 Bravo.

[Donut Operator]

Surely the cyclic rate sounds much more familiar.

[Cody]

If only somebody would read the notes.

[Brandon Herrera]

That were written and set on the nightstands in that room.

[Eli]

I. It's wild, the things. I think we're finally getting to that point where people are actually questioning the government. Like, I don't know about a lot. A lot of this stuff's not adding up in this age of information. Why is. Why did. Why was there no footage in the most.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, there was. That's. That's the thing that irritates me about that one. Because, like, there's. There's a lot of things that are weird about that situation. I don't know how much we want to get into this on the podcast, but they're like, why don't we have any footage of them bringing up all the. The guns and ammo needed for this? Like we do. There is footage. Did you.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

I didn't know you made a video on it.

[Cody]

The Las Vegas shooting.

[Eli]

So what happened to it? Actually, like, I actually like, coming from my position of get back on your.

[Brandon Herrera]

Own goddamn podcast, you know more about.

[Cody]

This shit than I do.

[Brandon Herrera]

Real quick on that. While they're transitioning, I like it. It almost feels like disinformation. Like the whole, like, you flood the Internet with so many conspiracies so that nobody knows what the truth is sort of thing. Because it's like, there's so many dumb conspiracies about that shooting. Because, like, if people want to talk about how there's no motive. Or like, what. What the fuck happened there? Like, as far as, like, why did this guy Sud Go do that? That's one thing. But they're like, we don't have any footage of him bringing the guns up. We absolutely do. Like, so much of that. It's like, he didn't use bump stocks. Like, I literally said it sounded like a bump stock before I knew a bump stock was used. Like, little things like that are kind of weird. I don't know.

[Eli]

I never doubted, like, it happened. It was the weird part of, like, hey, what was. I mean, some people just go crazy. It's just a weird mindset of, like, no, nothing was ever dug deeper into it, and if that makes sense.

[Brandon Herrera]

And then his brother was like, my brother would never do something like this. This is crazy. I think something's going on here. Next day, like, child charges he hauled off to Guantanamo. It's like, all right, well, that's.

[Eli]

Those are the weird ones. It's like, wow. Because you can go both ways.

[Donut Operator]

We've.

[Eli]

The government's never done crazy stuff before.

[Brandon Herrera]

No MK Ultra. Hmm.

[Donut Operator]

I mean, they used to.

[Brandon Herrera]

Not anymore.

[Eli]

More Epstein himself.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm so glad that they stopped doing things like MK Ultra after they were accidentally caught, when they accidentally declassified classified that they weren't supposed to. That's. That's wild.

[Cody]

What.

[Brandon Herrera]

What did you debunk on that?

[Cody]

Oh, no, the. The one thing that, like, I.

[Brandon Herrera]

You know, I don't.

[Cody]

I don't know what's going on between what happened there, but they're like, how could he get so many rifles up to his room?

[Eli]

Pretty easy.

[Cody]

It's like, dude, he was a high roller for years. He rented a suite.

[Brandon Herrera]

The sushi was calm.

[Cody]

Like, he ran. He rented a suite that was like, half of the floor. And they were like, well, how could he get so many rifles up there? Do you know how easy it is if it rifles into a bag?

[Brandon Herrera]

Because you saw the elevator footage, right? Yeah, yeah, the elevator footage.

[Cody]

So he just fit a bunch of rifles into a bag.

[Donut Operator]

It's super easy to fit into the bell. Just ask the first Trump ass.

[Brandon Herrera]

Dude.

[Eli]

We just had Eli on.

[Brandon Herrera]

He talked about, like, Eli Crane.

[Eli]

Yeah, Eli Craig talking about that Congressman.

[Donut Operator]

Is it.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't know, Arizona.

[Cody]

District. District.

[Brandon Herrera]

District 2.

[Donut Operator]

Is he Phoenix?

[Eli]

May.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't think so, but I'm not sure.

[Eli]

Yeah, he was like. He was a Navy SEAL sniper, so, like, he knows all that. We talked about that, like, come on, guy. He. He actually did at the house. He talked about how The Secret Service dropped the ball for everything when it comes to combat or danger.

[Donut Operator]

I don't know if that's Phoenix, but.

[Eli]

Go on, Cody.

[Cody]

Well, no, the only thing that. That I, like, tried to debunk because people were like, how did he get so many weapons up to his room? He was a high roller already.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Cody]

Like, he was spending millions of dollars there a year. So a bellhop is going to help him get his bags up there.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Cody]

So they're going to roll these suitcases up there, which. You guys know how easy it is to take apart an AR and put it in a suitcase. And he just rolled three suitcases up there, and they're like, oh, he must be having a party. Yeah, we're just gonna help him. That's all these suitcases up there.

[Brandon Herrera]

To me, yes, he was able to.

[Cody]

Get those things up there.

[Brandon Herrera]

To me, it was more haunting seeing the footage and, like, the. The casual conversation he's having with the bellhop as he's going on. He knows what he's gonna do as he's going up for one reason or the other, which we don't fucking know. And it was never looked into, which is interesting. But the. The fact that he's having, like, just a very casual conversation, like, oh, you see, the jets came, like that sort of thing in the elevator is weird as shit.

[Eli]

That's what's wild.

[Cody]

Well, that's the way you would act if you're trying to carry out a mass shooting.

[Donut Operator]

Well, we all had a great run.

[Cody]

What's up, dude?

[Donut Operator]

We had a great run. We're gonna be probably in Guantanamo Bay after this podcast for talking about it.

[Eli]

So guns. You had a video last recently leave our favorite.

[Brandon Herrera]

You know. You know, we've gone off the rails when Eli's like, oh, let's talk about guns. Yeah, that seems safer.

[Eli]

I feel like I feel bad for Chase right now.

[Donut Operator]

Chase is like the last auto sear I built was exactly at this location. 2456 W. Sycamore St. At the date and time. 0800927 2024.

[Brandon Herrera]

The numbers Mason. What do they mean?

[Donut Operator]

Now? That was an example of what not to do. Watching this is. Was writing that down there to scribble that all out. Because that's what my friends, what we call a joke. A little bit of a goofy.

[Brandon Herrera]

I hope you yourself.

[Donut Operator]

And scene. Thank you.

[Brandon Herrera]

All right. Wasn't that great Acting?

[Eli]

Acting.

[Cody]

Mild shock women.

[Eli]

It's like a Rich Rich podcast. Just lies the fake laughter we did with Rich.

[Donut Operator]

No, I was.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was gonna Have Chase put in the. The.

[Eli]

Rich white people.

[Cody]

Women voting.

[Eli]

We actually. This is like one of the hardest podcasts. I'm like, I don't know where we go right now.

[Donut Operator]

Should we level it out? Should we level it out somewhere?

[Cody]

Should we end women's suffrage? They've been suffering.

[Donut Operator]

These broads are vote. They have the same vote as me.

[Cody]

Jesus Christ.

[Donut Operator]

I can tell this off from the last two brain cells over there rubbing together and seen. I'm six five by the way.

[Eli]

Just mewing after you.

[Donut Operator]

I love women.

[Brandon Herrera]

Speaking of. Speaking of mewing, did you see the boomers freak out about that dude behind Trump?

[Eli]

No, did you?

[Brandon Herrera]

Have you seen this? Have you seen this? All right, Chase, if you. If you cannot find this video, I will send it to you. There was a guy sitting behind Trump after the second assassination attempt. And he literally did the thing where like he looks. He makes eye contact with the camera and just goes like. And he does the fucking. He does the Reddit meme, like that sort of thing. And all the boomers freak out and they share it all over Facebook. They're like, what does he mean by this? Man threatens President Trump behind, like straight up. It is just. He's just like doing the.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, I hate that. I am. I gotta get off the Internet.

[Brandon Herrera]

You.

[Eli]

We are chronically on my all.

[Brandon Herrera]

Your brain is fried enough that you got that immediately.

[Donut Operator]

It's so cooked.

[Eli]

Do you use Twitter much? Are you big Twitter? You.

[Donut Operator]

I like Twitter. I gotta stay off Twitter, dude.

[Eli]

I think we did last time. I didn't. I turned on my Twitter. Wait.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh yeah, you're fuck. How do I check screen time?

[Eli]

[Brandon Herrera]

We're doing weekly. Today you have updated.

[Eli]

[Brandon Herrera]

Total screen time or.

[Eli]

Yeah, that's total. But none hits 2 hours because it's 2 hours total.

[Brandon Herrera]

2,045 total over the week. It's not your average.

[Eli]

What's my average then?

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't know.

[Eli]

23 minutes. Wait, Cody, what's your. Is yours actually 12 hours day?

[Cody]

No, you mean today.

[Eli]

What's your daily average?

[Cody]

Today's daily average. 6 hours 23 minutes was last week's daily average.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's. That's for everything.

[Cody]

Last week's average was six hours.

[Eli]

Okay, 12 hours is like. You're bullying people for 12 hours a day. That is insane.

[Cody]

Six hours a day is average?

[Eli]

23 minutes.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, that's for everything he's talking about. For everything across the board.

[Eli]

Yeah, daily. But daily average.

[Brandon Herrera]

Not for X. For everything on the phone, X.

[Eli]

What's daily average for X code?

[Cody]

That's not an hour.

[Eli]

Yeah, okay, okay.

[Cody]

Yeah, yeah. Two hours a day average.

[Eli]

Once you thought it was six hours a day on Twitter.

[Cody]

No, no, no.

[Eli]

Angrily.

[Brandon Herrera]

I feel like I'm around you for more than six hours.

[Donut Operator]

My.

[Brandon Herrera]

My daily average for everything, like Everything together is 3 hours and 46 minutes.

[Eli]

Okay, but. And then your daily average on Twitter.

[Brandon Herrera]

Let me find that.

[Eli]

This is a fun game.

[Donut Operator]

You got.

[Brandon Herrera]

You get a play it out, maybe feel real bad. My daily average for Twitter is 20 minutes.

[Eli]

Oh, see, you're good.

[Brandon Herrera]

I just, I fit a lot of bully into a very small amount of time.

[Eli]

You're concentrated bullying.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yes, exactly.

[Eli]

A picture. Cody text you who to bully. You hyperfix.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like a high proof bully.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Cody]

You know, my friends tell me who to bully and I bullied them.

[Eli]

Cody, I think you're the one that tells you who to bully on Twitter.

[Brandon Herrera]

Speaking of which, when is David Hogg coming on the podcast?

[Cody]

He's in San Antonio.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was going to invite him. I feel like he should. If he wants to get his message out to as many people as possible, I would suggest coming on the unsubscribe podcast.

[Cody]

Do you want to tell him that right now? Yeah, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

We'd love to give you a platform, dude.

[Eli]

You spend the least amount.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, but on Instagram, go for it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Dude.

[Donut Operator]

I already way too much YouTube.

[Brandon Herrera]

I ratioed the shit out of them.

[Eli]

I can see that.

[Brandon Herrera]

YouTube.

[Eli]

I bet our averages are extremely high because we sleep with. I don't know about you guys.

[Brandon Herrera]

I sleep with YouTube when I go to hotels. I can't sleep with music or, you know, movies or anything like that or shit playing. I sleep with rain noise.

[Eli]

My daily average on YouTube is three hours.

[Donut Operator]

A lot of YouTube doing, dude.

[Eli]

Nighttime. That's what I sav. Will tell. I pass out to that.

[Donut Operator]

How long. How long has this podcast been going on for?

[Eli]

2 hours and 1 hour and 59 minutes.

[Donut Operator]

There's most screen time right there, kid.

[Eli]

Yeah, see. Hey. Average retention time on this podcast. 44 minutes. Dang beautiful people out there.

[Brandon Herrera]

So last week I had 11 and a half hours on YouTube.

[Eli]

What is your daily average?

[Brandon Herrera]

Hour and 39.

[Eli]

I wish I was there. Three hours, 20 minutes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh God. Yeah.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

But if you go to sleep to it, then that's.

[Eli]

I literally I pass out. I put my earbuds in and pass out to whomever talking.

[Brandon Herrera]

I. That's crazy. I can't sleep with earbuds or anything like that. That's.

[Eli]

I slept going to war, that's a little different mission.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'd be like, I fell. I shot a competition this weekend. I fell asleep to gunfire.

[Eli]

Oh shit.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli]

You shot a competition in a full white suit.

[Brandon Herrera]

And what gun were using an fn fnc.

[Eli]

And then you placed what position?

[Brandon Herrera]

So I am not. I will put it out there. I shot Lethal weapons this, this weekend. I am not a comp shooter. I'm not. I'm not even a good shooter. I have off.

[Eli]

I will. I'm gonna fucking. I'm going to uplift my boy right now. Homeboy can shoot.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm not a good shooter. I'm really not off, dude.

[Eli]

Whole iron sights. What was your zero on the AK for? Class warfare.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was tight. That one I was very proud of yards. I. I was proud of that because I'm not a very good shooter.

[Eli]

Chase, put it up. That's amazing. I mean, that's a one moa Arsenal AK. One moa.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, was it 545 or 762?

[Eli]

It was trash ammo.

[Donut Operator]

Damn, that's pretty good.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. With whatever Eli had in the box.

[Eli]

That was garbage.

[Brandon Herrera]

But no, but I don't consider myself like, when you go to like a competition, you have actual competitors. Like guys who train that I'm not a very good shooter.

[Donut Operator]

Guys that'll eat your lunch, dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, and they deserve it because they put a lot of time in it. I know. I just have fun. But doing light irons, I was running FNC iron sights out of 106 shooters. I think I did 36 if I'm not mistaken. So I was really proud of that. That was really fun.

[Donut Operator]

Flip flops, no less.

[Brandon Herrera]

Damn. No, no, I was. I was running the cock a flage. The loafers.

[Eli]

Oh yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

The multicam loafers from tactical flip flops.

[Eli]

Damn, dude. You. I will say watching the Arsenal versus the pioneer, the art. Because the pioneer, the shot group was like a sub two foot spoiler for.

[Brandon Herrera]

The upcoming class warfare.

[Eli]

Yeah. Sub two foot MOA. And the Jake. Where is it? He's like, here, here and here. I was like, here, let me. Here, let me. Let me shoot it too. It was like here, here and here. I was like, I. It's the gun. Then Brandon, shoot the arsenal. Jake's like, here, here and here. And we can't see him from 100 yards. Like, holy. We go up and it is that. I was like, yo, homeboy can shoot.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli]

The good shot group for an A.

[Brandon Herrera]

To me like my, my, my soapbox for the AK platform is if you treat it. Everybody has this attitude in the United States where like, it's just an ak. It's supposed to shoot like garbage. It's supposed to be reliable and it's supposed to shoot like shit. That's what people think it's like. Well, if you have that approach going into it when you make it, of course it's going to shoot. Like we have some of the, like the, the people who actually gave a about it when they built it. They're like, when we go to war and my children will be using this to protect their life. The gun works great.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like you can get if you care about lug contact, if you care about headspace, if you care about bear like all that together you can build a really, really good gun if you give a. It's just like any other rifle really.

[Cody]

We, we were all like fucking with Brandon because he shot the rifle at first and it was like, dude, like, like it was all over the place.

[Brandon Herrera]

Minute of shithead at 100 yards.

[Cody]

Now shoot the good rifle. And then like it was a, like a dollar quarter size. Yeah, just boop boop boop. Right there next to each other with a good rifle.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't consider myself a good shot, but like I'm not ass at my job, dude.

[Cody]

Iron size. Brandon nailed it from 100 yards. Just like dollar size. Like it was awesome.

[Eli]

You caught me off guard with that like walking up and actually having a response like home boy. Ken. This was iron science. Okay. It's not the gun. Also Pioneer, they went out business for.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was gonna say it's a company so good they went out of business.

[Eli]

This is babe. And then we modded out. We made both like $2,600. Like both equal in price. And still the Pioneer just shot like fucking trash.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's over gassed it. Can't hold a group for shit. It's so pioneer. A story I didn't tell on class warfare that I'll tell here. Pioneer actually did one of the shadiest marketing moves I've ever seen in my life. There's actually a very good. I might be butchering this a little bit, but I think this is correct. There's a very well respected AK company called Radon. So the Radon factory in Poland, which I believe was the Circle 11 factory when they were under the Soviet era. And then they started manufacturing AKs way back in the day. But Radom has a very good name for making very good quality aks. And so Pioneer moved to Radom, Poland. It's the name of the town. And they literally started calling their company in marketing AK from Radom.

[Eli]

Holy shit.

[Brandon Herrera]

To try to pretend that they were Radom aks.

[Donut Operator]

Dude, that is some peak lore.

[Brandon Herrera]

It is.

[Donut Operator]

Oh my God.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like holy shit. It's kind of like. Yeah, it was just bizarre.

[Eli]

Do we make a K better? No, we moved to radon. Yeah, Manufacture.

[Brandon Herrera]

There we are.

[Eli]

Okay.

[Brandon Herrera]

God, it's kind of like Springfield.

[Eli]

Mmm.

[Donut Operator]

Or Springfield Armory.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, Springfield Armory. It's like, oh, well, you know, we're not that company, but we'll. We'll pretend we are for the marketing.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. Baby boomers are gonna eat this shit up.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, it was that. And so, like, if you read the side of the gun we used in class warfare, it says AK from Radon.

[Donut Operator]

No way.

[Brandon Herrera]

I swear to God, I had a.

[Eli]

Blast with that one. That was a really interesting to see. Why people would think aks would suck is like. And it's crazy because as you said, Chinese aks will fire better than that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah. They'll beat the shit out of it any day. Any day.

[Eli]

This is a $2,000 AK that fire. I would run that probably over an AR any day of the week because I know it's going to run every day of the week.

[Brandon Herrera]

And I don't want to. Like, I obviously have a bias, right? Like, I don't want to AK guy suck my own dick or anything, but, like, when you give enough of a shit about the AK platform where you. You take all these things into account, like the head spacing, how the barrel is made, like the. How the. The chamber is reamed, barrel harmonics. Like, you just take everything into account. You can make a really good gun, like, by my gunsmith. Zach is probably. I think he is the best AK Smith in the entire country.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

And that's. That's not a bias. I. I genuinely think if I was to, like, no monetary investment, anything. If I wanted an AK made that I needed to run forever, I would have Zach built in. He is so intelligent, so, so well versed in the AK platform. I cannot give him enough kudos.

[Cody]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm privileged to be his friend and I'm privileged to have him as an employee.

[Donut Operator]

Zach, hey, yeah, it's me. I need an AK105 and I need it stat. Thanks, man. Bye.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like, you know a guy. It's like, we can have this put together if you want. You know, something like that.

[Donut Operator]

Thank goodness.

[Eli]

I. I need a good ak. I have a trash. I have. What? Well, no, you said my zap. My.

[Brandon Herrera]

You have an M92 SBR. That's pretty nice. I. I gave you a bake light today because I'm like.

[Eli]

I was like.

[Brandon Herrera]

He had a polymer magnet. I'm like, yeah, homie needs a Bake light in this setup.

[Eli]

Like, thank you. I'm excited to run that one. We all got our guns. Like, I. I'm enjoying the out of that. We need to bring you on one or just do one with you.

[Brandon Herrera]

That'd be fun.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli]

I thought I wanted to do. We all have to pick a subsonic, a rifle that's suppressed, and then build out our favorite loadout for that class warfare for bows. Bro, you down?

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, let's do it.

[Eli]

I don't have to pick, like, a 180 pound draw.

[Donut Operator]

I'm not that strong yet. I'm building up to it.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't have 120, but I would love to get involved in that.

[Donut Operator]

The sad irony about war bows that I've learned is, like, for a. You, like, stave a piece of, like, wood. Just like a stick, a bendy stick. It cost me, like, a thousand bucks. When you start getting to the higher draw weight, it's ridiculous.

[Eli]

Wait, like, what. When does it break the thousand dollar?

[Donut Operator]

I mean, like, you're talking, like, 800 and up. When you're, like, getting up to, like, the 90 pound and plus.

[Brandon Herrera]

Because, I mean, to have a material that thin, but to be able to have that strong of a draw weight, you need insane tensile strength for wood.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. Like, it's you wood guys that know how to work on it and actually make them to where they're going to be good, too. It's like, who. Who the hell's out there making war bows?

[Brandon Herrera]

It's a really interesting niche now that I think about it.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli]

We need to learn.

[Brandon Herrera]

You brought me in on the tism.

[Donut Operator]

On the tism, dude. Yeah, dude.

[Eli]

I. We got Brandon shooting. Brandon's actually getting into compound.

[Donut Operator]

Compound. When I go to the archery range and I see guys shooting compound bows, I feel like I'm in a hot air balloon watching, like, an F22 Raptor. They're like.

[Brandon Herrera]

They just.

[Donut Operator]

Their groupings are, like, this small, like, 100 yards. And I'm over here, like, God wills it. It's, like, gone.

[Cody]

I'm like, ah.

[Eli]

It's eating dirt with it.

[Donut Operator]

St. George, bless this one.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Inshallah. This shall find a blasphemer.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. These freaking nerds have their laser range finder for their bows. I'm like, get the. Get the hell out of here.

[Eli]

Dude. Dude, we got brain laser.

[Donut Operator]

Laser range.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, they're like, laser how?

[Eli]

I do mine at, like, 20s. My backyard is at 20, so we know exactly. I'm like, here, Brandon.

[Donut Operator]

They know their whole. They have their Zeros. It's nerds.

[Eli]

It's a fun time, dude. Brandon hit targets. He was like. He like, okay, I can get into this. He's like, okay. Addicting.

[Donut Operator]

When you hear the thwack of a target, you're like, oh, yeah, that's nice.

[Brandon Herrera]

My favorite part was when you were. Because I was. I was saying, like, one of my insecurities when I was pulling back the compound bow is I was using so much strength on it because I was. I was worried, like, if I let it go even a little bit, it's just gonna come back forward and I'm just gonna send one in the dirt.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

And Eli's trying to demonstrate. He's like, oh, you don't really have to, like, once you get it past the. That point and he pulls it back, he's like, you really don't have to put any effort into sales.

[Eli]

One over his fast bad.

[Brandon Herrera]

He's just like, ah.

[Eli]

I was like, my bad. I gotta go get that. Because for the most part, compound bows, you're like, ah, relax.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli]

But there is that. The second it does hit that, you.

[Cody]

Hear too much crying.

[Brandon Herrera]

Boom.

[Donut Operator]

Gotta go put this inside real quick.

[Eli]

But it is like 60 pounds is. Bows are weird poundage because Cody has 60 pound. You have a.

[Cody]

Mine's 80.

[Eli]

Matthew. Matthew's 80 pound. That's a little. A little pullback on that one. That's like. Got it. Launch it. Shoot. 300.

[Brandon Herrera]

What was your 60?

[Eli]

62.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm going, okay.

[Eli]

Yeah, 62. But even though that was 30 inch. 62 is different from a 32. 34. Right. You know, both.

[Donut Operator]

Say it again.

[Eli]

30 inch, 62 pounds.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli]

Like harder versus a 34. That's 60 pounds. Because the more leverage you have, easier it is to pull it back. His bow.

[Brandon Herrera]

So yours is way tighter because it's smaller. Well, yeah, it is, baby.

[Eli]

Yeah, it is.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli]

And Skippy, go on.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think I'm done. All right.

[Eli]

But it's a blast. Like, if you. If anyone out there get into bows. You got me into bows. It is the most. It's just calming. You just need to shoot bows.

[Donut Operator]

Have a good time throwing a podcast. Just twanging away, dude.

[Eli]

30 rounds. 10, 20 rounds in your exhaust.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. It's like a workout. Like, when I shoot my heavy bow, I feel like up in my traps, in my back, I'm like, oh, I'm cooked. There's a point where I reach where I'm like, man, that's it for the day.

[Brandon Herrera]

Because we did it on fight night the other Day. And like after that I was like, oh, I woke up the next morning. I'm like, man, I got. That's kind of sore.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Because we were shooting bows for like a little while. Like, I've got that's sore that I'm not used to being sore.

[Donut Operator]

My buddy Dash, he can pull 160 pounds and he's like pretty much the only thing in the gym that can replicate it is like super wide grip pull ups. It's like the only thing that can kind of replicate it.

[Eli]

Dude. £160.

[Donut Operator]

It's insane. It's insane. I can only like with his, like.

[Eli]

If I get like really this like lean into, like you're tightening your lats.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, I like, I will either do a down up or an up down. I think the up down is easier because you like pull like you're doing a push pull into it.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm surprised you, I would assume, like bent over rows or something like that where you're like on the bench like pulling back like that.

[Cody]

I don't.

[Donut Operator]

I thought so too, but I mean, I'm going off what he says and he. He pulls way more weight than I do.

[Eli]

£160. That arrow is cooking.

[Donut Operator]

Those arrows get. They get. They jump up in size too. It's like like the thickness of almost your thumb and like that arrow.

[Brandon Herrera]

So I'm wondering if you get an advantage at that point, like to up the weight of the arrow.

[Eli]

Yeah. Oh, well, we're shooting 100 grain. I want to say, like our arrows are 400. 400 spine, 100 grain tips.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli]

Those have to be what, like a thousand grain?

[Donut Operator]

I guess like they're heavy.

[Brandon Herrera]

They're heavy, dude. For reference, on weight, a thousand grain arrows, I think. So the 50 caliber is about 660 grain. So you're using something that's roughly 50 caliber. 50% more than 50 caliber.

[Donut Operator]

So we were testing against. I have a 600 pound medieval crossbow I got from Todd's workshop.

[Eli]

600 pound?

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. So I need a goat's foot lever to get it back so I have the leverage. So you get it back, you have a bolt. You fire it up against armor that he had. His bow at 160 pounds did better than my 600 pound crossbow.

[Eli]

Is it punching through armor?

[Donut Operator]

So he had a. He had a much better bodkin tip so it could penetrate armor a lot better. Mine, like, it would just like essentially bounce off. And I was trying like a bodkin style, like a sharp point, and it just wasn't doing the same Damage that his was.

[Cody]

Why have you guys tried that against modern body armor?

[Donut Operator]

No, I feel like the analog. I mean, I'm down to try it, but I think he's done it before.

[Eli]

Plates with slow mo. That's. Yeah, even. Both like 160. Even your bow. 106 pounds.

[Donut Operator]

I think I was talking to Adam about that. The Sloan, like the high speed guys.

[Eli]

That. Yeah, ballistic high speed. That's a good video. I want to see what a 600 pound crossbow does to a skull.

[Donut Operator]

Well, the problem is those crossbows aren't. They're not that efficient compared to like a modern crossbow.

[Eli]

Go on.

[Brandon Herrera]

Why?

[Donut Operator]

So, I mean, you got to think it's a short metal.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're taking advantage of the TISM audience. Oh, that's interesting. Something nerds would love. Keep going.

[Donut Operator]

It's like the energy. The. He is much smarter at this than I am. Like, the energy transfer just isn't as efficient as like the modern compound bows, like. Or crossbows, I should say. And it's like, yeah, it's £600. That sounds really cool. But it's just like it's such a short length of travel with the bow on the crossbow. That's just not as good as like with how long he can pull back with the bow. It's like way more energy is getting transferred into that arrow because like speed. I guess I kind of explained it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, you did.

[Eli]

You did really good.

[Brandon Herrera]

Speed doesn't a lot better. But at the same time, you have a law of diminishing returns with a certain point. Like with certain materials that you're using to transport at that speed.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

So I was just thinking like, that would be wild if you like I was just translating that to bullet technology and like, I would love to see if you had some like serious like hardcore, like the hardened steel, hardened tips. Like you have like, let's say M855A1. Like that's sort of like really like solid tips.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

But you carved it almost like a drill bit toward the end with the rifling.

[Donut Operator]

It's kind of like G9. You ever use G9ammo? They have an external copper hollow point.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, yeah.

[Donut Operator]

And they're. And so for their 9 mil rounds, they're like what is it? Like some of them are like 80 or 70 grains or something like that.

[Brandon Herrera]

I feel like somebody. Somebody gave me some of those on the campaign trail.

[Donut Operator]

Really?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, dude.

[Donut Operator]

Phenomenal defensive ammo. I just order some for my 45 ACP. I want to try out. But anyway.

[Eli]

Yeah, but if you had grain on 45.

[Brandon Herrera]

But imagine hardened steel.

[Donut Operator]

Well, no, no. For the 45, ACP was. I think it's 170 grain. And then for like the nine mil, it was like 70 to like 80 grains. Like super light. Very light.

[Eli]

Light.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, very light. But it's cooking out of that gun and it's external copper hollow point.

[Brandon Herrera]

But just imagine like sharpened tungsten on the tip of a round like that.

[Donut Operator]

Like, that would be sick.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm.

[Donut Operator]

That's a video.

[Brandon Herrera]

I am 100% certain that like Crane or somebody like that has done this research before it and they've got results, but I'm. I'm really curious to see what would happen.

[Donut Operator]

It's gnarly, dude.

[Eli]

We're going to see comments now where the autism people are.

[Donut Operator]

Yes, yes.

[Eli]

We need to test all of them.

[Brandon Herrera]

So if you have proprietary military knowledge on how that would work out, please let me know because I as an autist on the Internet and I'm curious. I would like to know if you're.

[Donut Operator]

A big war thunder guy and you want to leak some documents.

[Cody]

Use my code donut operator radio.com.

[Brandon Herrera]

Use my use code TREASON for 20.

[Eli]

I'm gonna ask all.

[Donut Operator]

Could you imagine?

[Eli]

Yeah, dude. Treason. We had come for a long time. We can. We can make that happen. Treason.

[Brandon Herrera]

Running code treason on a like a war thunder ad would be wild.

[Eli]

We had come 20 for a long time.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, I know.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, my God.

[Brandon Herrera]

I would love that.

[Eli]

Cody. After show close this big boy.

[Cody]

Bye, everyone. Thank you for joining the unsubscribe podcast. I was joined today by Eli Double Tap administrative results. My favorite baby boy.
