[Cody Garrett]

We had a ware shows.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Cody Garrett]

Four VIP meets and you guys gave us really cool stuff, dude.

[Fat Electrician]

Brandon now has his own infinity gauntlet with the medal of honor in the middle.

[Eli Double Tap]

You wearing all the medals on your shirt like, oh, that was North Korean war General.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was because it became a bit. Because people were just. During the. The VIP were just coming up and giving me, like, their medals. They would pin them on me. And then like, toward the end, I just like, I. I succumbed to the bit in the last show. Just put on all the wearable ones at once.

[Eli Double Tap]

I Brought you more medals.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, God damn it.

[Eli Double Tap]

They're getting sent to my P.O. box now to give to you. Just.

[Brandon Herrera]

I thought here, I thought we could actually retire the joke with Clint Rochet.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, but this metal is actually really rare and. And it is, in my opinion, potentially the coolest looking medal that the United States has. It was given to me by.

[Brandon Herrera]

Thank you for clarifying. The United States because Germany's got some rad metals, dude.

[Eli Double Tap]

The. The windmill one.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Windmill friendship.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

So this was given to me by a combat rescue guy from the Air Force. And this is the US Air Force combat action badge. And very, very few people actually have this metal because there's not very many Moses in the Air Force that see direct combat.

[Brandon Herrera]

That is actually really cool.

[Eli Double Tap]

And he wanted me to give you that. And it's a pretty sexy looking metal.

[Brandon Herrera]

That is actually a really cool looking metal. I've never seen one of these before.

[Eli Double Tap]

Neither had I. That's way cooler than shot in my P.O.

[Brandon Herrera]

Box.

[Cody Garrett]

No, that's really cool. I like the gold red. That's neat.

[Brandon Herrera]

Have you seen it?

[Fat Electrician]

I. I seen that. So now Brandon, I love this even more. You have a CIB and a cab. A combat action badge. You're going to combat infantryman's badge.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was.

[Fat Electrician]

You have every like form of. I've seen combat.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was very funny because there were like a couple boomers on your Twitter on that post because you posted that picture of me just like, oh God. And like they, they clearly don't get that this is obviously a joke and it is tongue in cheek that they were like looking at the metals. They're like, I see Air Force, army and Navy. I believe this guy never served. Let me be stolen valor.

[Fat Electrician]

I'm gonna AI check him. Well he has served in all these branches parties.

[Eli Double Tap]

If you ask Chad, GPT.

[Fat Electrician]

And every.

[Cody Garrett]

Brand just the random boomers are saying like that are cracking me up, man. Cuz it got that post got like 27,000 likes because I said can we get a like get a hand for our brave veterans out there?

[Brandon Herrera]

And me like drinking hand.

[Cody Garrett]

Like yeah, the last tour, like we're all beat and he's wearing every single medal everyone's giving him. And yeah, there were comments. People were like, you can't have that many.

[Brandon Herrera]

Those bastards lied to me, dude.

[Fat Electrician]

My favorite moment is like pinning those shout out what show. Can you look up the guy's name that did the purple Heart Unsub things company. What is his company? Those are. We're gonna start working with him for.

[Brandon Herrera]

Some More challenge point stuff.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. Like, it was just phenomenal. And he did that on his own, so I want to make sure we get his name.

[Brandon Herrera]

And because that was a correct bag of them we gave him out at the. The San Diego show. Yeah, we're just chucking them. We probably hit some people really hard.

[Fat Electrician]

Multiple people. Remember Rich tried to throw the can, and it didn't make. It blew up and hit somebody else.

[Brandon Herrera]

At a historic theater.

[Fat Electrician]

I know. We're just causing chaos everywhere we go. Trump smoking in these theaters. Jack was wanting to smoke in the theaters.

[Eli Double Tap]

We did two shows in Nashville, and in between them, apparently, somebody got drunk, puked shit, and passed out while they get in the bathroom.

[Fat Electrician]

I was walking out, and they're like, yo, is that your fan in there? I was like, what? I don't know. What? What? Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

And then you see, no, absolutely not. That is a homeless man.

[Cody Garrett]

This is after the manager of the event came to us and said, the staff is very scared of your fans. They're not doing anything.

[Eli Double Tap]

Looks like they.

[Fat Electrician]

Well, okay, that could. Could burn across also. Could just be here to count trains. I'm not sure, because they were like.

[Brandon Herrera]

We'Ll make sure that they know, like, they can't bring weapons. Blah, blah. Like, they were literally expecting people to walk in with, like, guns on their hip openly. Like, if you guns, just tell them to put it in their car. I don't.

[Cody Garrett]

I.

[Brandon Herrera]

He didn't think it was very funny when I replied, brother, if they're bringing guns in, you'll never see him.

[Cody Garrett]

The Guy brought an AT4 rocket launcher in right after he got done telling us the staff was terrified of us.

[Brandon Herrera]

Taller move, by the way, the whole thing in. Excuse me while I whip this out.

[Fat Electrician]

Y'all are artist autistic. You don't know. Like, I'm sure this will be found in this establishment walking into a crowd that has no fucking clue.

[Cody Garrett]

By the way, you guys drink every drop of booze at all those events, so we appreciate that.

[Fat Electrician]

We have always. If you didn't know this, you have managed to break records every time we go to a venue. I had a brewery hit us up because he seen we were on the Houston one. He seen we were on tour. He was like, hey, if you guys want to come back, we'll set you up for free. I was like, well, that's dope.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, we. You guys drink. As it turns out, you might have a problem.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's no problems, just expensive solutions.

[Fat Electrician]

Mandatory fun coins. Mandatory fun coins? Yes, mandatory fun coins. They're on instagram and like, the level of detail, again, we didn't know those were gonna be made. And he brought that huge bag and it is a purple heart. Just says unsub in.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh.

[Fat Electrician]

And it's an actually, like metal. Metal.

[Cody Garrett]

Yeah, the. The unsub purple heart. And Eli said thank you, immediately took him and threw him into the crowd.

[Brandon Herrera]

I still have mine.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, I grabbed one. Everyone grabbed one of these, and we're.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just like, yep, pocket that and pocket medals.

[Fat Electrician]

Hey, yeah, Chuck it as hard as possible.

[Cody Garrett]

That one with Rich throw in the white claw. So for the layout of this historical theater, you got, of course, the top deck and you got the bottom deck. And Rich was trying to throw a white claws someone on the top deck and it just hit. Hit the banister and just spilled white claw over like 30 people.

[Brandon Herrera]

A splash zone. Meanwhile, this is like a 200 year old theater.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. Named after the first Amer. Like Crispus Attucks Theater.

[Cody Garrett]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

And also, though, they had a fantastic green room.

[Cody Garrett]

Did you try.

[Brandon Herrera]

You try the Mac and cheese?

[Fat Electrician]

Mac and cheese.

[Brandon Herrera]

Shut the up.

[Fat Electrician]

It was so good. Now we're back. We're getting ready for the big shows now because those were big, but they are small compared to the shows we're about to play.

[Brandon Herrera]

Austin's like 1100 people, I think. Yeah, that's the same theater I think that Joe Rogan did his. One of his Netflix specials in.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, you were saying that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, it's big.

[Fat Electrician]

We're just checking out, as you said the other day, like checking off bucket list items that we didn't know we had. No, the rhyme. Okay, that's a. That will add that so I can check it off.

[Cody Garrett]

Yeah, we got. What are we doing? Atlanta, Buffalo, Boston.

[Fat Electrician]

Right.

[Cody Garrett]

The next three days.

[Brandon Herrera]

Atlanta, Boston, Buffalo.

[Cody Garrett]

Atlanta, Boston, Buffalo. Next three days.

[Brandon Herrera]

Buffalo is like 7 degrees under 2ft of snow.

[Cody Garrett]

Very cool.

[Brandon Herrera]

You, Rich.

[Cody Garrett]

Can't wait to get stuck there.

[Eli Double Tap]

What's wrong with that?

[Brandon Herrera]

We love you, but you, man.

[Eli Double Tap]

Dude, look at this thing.

[Fat Electrician]

This is dope, too. I'll put this here.

[Cody Garrett]

Oh, yeah, we got a bullet school. We were scared about getting that one through tsa.

[Eli Double Tap]

How did we get this?

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't know.

[Fat Electrician]

Who.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think Connor Keister did.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, Brandon.

[Fat Electrician]

I shoved it.

[Brandon Herrera]

I shoved it in my ass.

[Eli Double Tap]

Brandon, how did you get all your war medals through tsa?

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, no, that was actually very funny. So this is the closest I've ever come to stealing valor. Made it very clear throughout my entire Internet career. I'm like, from day one, like, never served. Just a gun guy. Gun not like historic shit. And I like military stuff. Been around the military my whole life, so I just always been around the community, but I never served well. So all of. All of you guys are given these awesome medals, which, by the way, like, of course, like, the joke makes me uncomfortable, clearly. But I do appreciate it. It's really cool. It's really. It's neat, and it's an awesome gesture from. From the military community. But I had a whole fuckload of them in my bag, my carry on bag, because I don't have a checked bag. So I just carry this big old tri zip, and I just have a whole pocket that's just full of these metals that I've accumulated from all the live shows. And we're going through TSA, it had.

[Cody Garrett]

To be like 50 of them, right? It was.

[Eli Double Tap]

It was like a freezer bag.

[Fat Electrician]

Full.

[Eli Double Tap]

Full.

[Brandon Herrera]

And it was heavy, by the way. A lot of metal to speed walk through an airport with you, like, damn. But I go through TSA and my bag gets flagged immediately. I, like, roll my eyes like, great. Been through four airports already. And, like, they didn't have a fucking problem with it. So they. My bag and they unzipped the pocket, and I got that bottle of Jack Daniels that I thought was gonna be the issue.

[Fat Electrician]

And this is, like, not a sealed bottle. This is like 3/4 halfway drink.

[Eli Double Tap]

A pocket bottle.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, yeah, it's a big.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's a big bottle. It's a class bottle. But they. They put that to the side and they're like, sir, there's just a. There's a lot of metal in here. Is there anything that's, you know, we should know about weapons? Anything that's gonna poke me or whatever? I'm like, all right. I. In my defense, for this, it's a government employee. They're not people.

[Fat Electrician]

I approved of this.

[Brandon Herrera]

She's got, like, this kind of condescending attitude. A little bit like, anything in here. Like, what. What is. What's all this?

[Cody Garrett]

The.

[Brandon Herrera]

The metal. Why do you have this much metal in your backpack? I'm like, oh, that pockets just full of my war medals. Which is technically, it's not a lie because those are war medals and they are now mine. Thank you, guys. She looks at me like, kind of confused, like, condescending. Reaches in, grabs a fistful and goes, oh, God. Puts them back, zips it up, gives me my backpack. Like, you're. You're good to go.

[Fat Electrician]

It's Jason, Paul.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was. It was very funny. And meanwhile, we're all just hungover Trying to get to the next place, but.

[Fat Electrician]

And then I get stopped for my fucking berserk figure.

[Eli Double Tap]

That was exciting.

[Cody Garrett]

They tried to steal guts, buddy.

[Fat Electrician]

Try to cut guts open. Cut guts open. I was like, oh my God. Also, thank you so much for the berserk figure and for the tiger. The fallout. Yeah, the fallout armor. I'll put. I'm going to send chase of a picture of him and him. I took a picture of him holding both.

[Brandon Herrera]

My favorite part was because I was going through TSA with you at the time. And their defense for why they wanted to open it because it's like one of those sealed collectibles. Like you just don't fucking open these unless you know, period. Don't open them. What did they say?

[Fat Electrician]

Well, there could be something inside it. We can't. Oh, we can't. Oh yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Why?

[Fat Electrician]

Why can't we open it? Well, scan it again or what? They say what?

[Brandon Herrera]

He said, you're going to.

[Cody Garrett]

I'm going to have to anyways.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're going to open it.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

Because. Oh, homeboy pulled out a knife, click the knife open and went to cut it open. I was like, yeah. I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He's like, why? I was like, cuz that you give me money. I was like, you're devaluing that immediately.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're going to open it anyway.

[Fat Electrician]

Twenty minutes later, back and forth. And then they scanned it multiple times. We as Brandon says, like, you're going to open it anyways. No, those stay sealed. We're not. Why can't we open it? Because it stays the fucking seal you. It's collectible.

[Brandon Herrera]

Meanwhile, I hear none of this, but I am standing over with a couple of the girls and whatnot, like waiting for you 30ft away. And I just see angry Tism Eli where he's not doing this. He's doing like this like. Well, with a very aggressive posture toward this government agent.

[Fat Electrician]

Don't touch it. And then they scanned it again and again. We did joke. It would have been hilarious if that dude just put a Glock at the bottom. And we didn't know. We were just like, just give me my fucking thing. Just a Glock in it. It's like, oh yeah, that was my bad. Sorry. Shouldn't have trusted that guy.

[Eli Double Tap]

I can explain.

[Brandon Herrera]

I have been indignant while being in the wrong.

[Fat Electrician]

I do declare.

[Eli Double Tap]

Meanwhile, I get my hands swabbed for bomb residue at every single airport. Cuz I can't lift my arm above my head cuz I had Surgery.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

So that was exciting performance.

[Fat Electrician]

We're going to have these right now. Yeah, it's actually. I. Have you had these yet?

[Brandon Herrera]

I have, yeah, dude.

[Fat Electrician]

I magic mine. It. It's actually healthy, and then it's turmeric. Everything else, it's also subtle. Lion's mane wakes your ass up.

[Cody Garrett]

Will I sleep tonight, Eli?

[Fat Electrician]

Yes, at this time. You wait. Time is.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's six. You're fine.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. 100 of your daily vitamin B12. So a little bit of energy in that.

[Fat Electrician]

Cheers, buddies.

[Eli Double Tap]

Good thing. I do a thousand.

[Fat Electrician]

This has thymine in it, which is actually the rare thing. I actually like these things. These taste good. I didn't realize the thynine was one of the branched chain amino acids they started removing. And that's the best one for.

[Brandon Herrera]

Why'd they start removing it?

[Fat Electrician]

It costs too much. Apparently a lot. It used to have it in energy drinks and everything like that. Big on nutrition. But they started removing that, and then across the board. Most Americans do not get thyanine in it, and it's one of the most important branched chain amounts.

[Brandon Herrera]

Is that how you say thionine? Yeah, I've been saying it wrong.

[Eli Double Tap]

Theoline.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. I don't know. Eli, what's the code if they want to try this out and save some money?

[Fat Electrician]

So the code is unsubtron.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's code unsub20. That gets you up to 48 off.

[Eli Double Tap]

Your first subscription or 20 off your first time purchase.

[Fat Electrician]

You see him, right?

[Eli Double Tap]

Minneapolis dude with the AR got to come up to me. Almost got in trouble for that one because some new person was being stupid. Minneapolis when I was coming fly. So, like, the one flight I wasn't with you guys, like, on my way from Iowa because I drive up to Minneapolis and fly out, but I, like, go up to the body scanner. I was like, I physically can't lift this arm over my head. I just had surgery and. But at this point, I'm like, wearing the shoulder immobilizer thing. So I'm like, like this. And she's like, okay, step to the side. And I'm like, okay, cool, I'll walk through the metal detector. Because obviously. And I'm standing there for, like, five minutes, and I'm like, can I. Can I go? And then some dude with an AR15 comes walking up, and it's like, so you're refusing to go through security? No, that's not what happened. I physically lifted my arm over my head, and he goes, so you're not, like, refusing to do anything? I Mean, I physically can't lift my arm. Other than that, I'll do whatever you need. And he's like, give me a minute. Goes and choose this lady's ass. You can't call me and say people aren't cooperating for that, dude.

[Fat Electrician]

Jesus. Jesus.

[Brandon Herrera]

Did I ever tell you about the time when I was actually building explosives and then had to go through the airport that day?

[Eli Double Tap]

No.

[Brandon Herrera]

We were doing a demo course with Bast and a few of the other dudes. I think Clean was there.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

But we were doing a demo course down in, like, the southeast. And, like, that morning, I was molding C4 with my hands. We was like, C4, C10, data sheet, shock tube, debt cord. We were playing with fucking everything, and I'm manhandling it all. I go to fly out of this, like, small regional airport later that day because I got to go, like, film something or whatever, and they put me through the scanner whatnot, and they're like, sir, you've been randomly selected. We're just gonna swab your hands for explosive residue.

[Eli Double Tap]

Ruh row.

[Brandon Herrera]

And I told him flat out. I'm like, what happens when it pops hot? Because I will tell you this flat out. You know, I do this for a living. Well, I was. I was playing with explosives earlier today. I don't have any with me, but I was. I was handling explosives. He literally says, I don't know. It's never happened. It puts my. He swaps my hands, put it in the scanner. It came back clear. And he's like, well, I guess have a nice flight.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's the secret.

[Fat Electrician]

It's.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's never.

[Fat Electrician]

It doesn't work.

[Eli Double Tap]

23:19 from Monsters, Inc. Just orange monsters come rolling out.

[Brandon Herrera]

I know you can't deny me from the flight if it's my job. Fuck you.

[Fat Electrician]

They. One of the guys before deployment went to sapper school, which sapper school in the military is just nothing but demo explosives learning. But you stuff it in your backpack, so it's always in your bag. You're doing that. So when he went back to Washington, he was flying back from the class. That is one thing. His orders are the only reason he did not get detained, because he was like, oh, because the bag went AWOL when they scrubbed it for residue. They're like, this is just nothing but, like, red or however they visualize it. She's like, I got military. I have military orders. I just went to explosives or a sapper school. Please do not me over. But, yeah, I was like, no, no, thank you, Mr. Brandon. You had.

[Eli Double Tap]

Meanwhile, Brandon, last time we did live tours, you had a pocket knife.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Seven flights and nobody noticed.

[Brandon Herrera]

Had like, like, it wasn't like a little. It was a pocket knife. Pocket knife?

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. Like, nobody ever noticed.

[Brandon Herrera]

I didn't realize I had brought it on me with me to the first flight and I was like, oh, shit. Like, honest mistake. I just threw it in my bag.

[Eli Double Tap]

Whatever happens, happens.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Que sera, sera. Like, fuck it. There's nothing I can do now. Yeah, they're going to. If they catch it, I'll just throw it away. But, like, you know, I either throw it away first or I see if they catch it the entire life tour.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yep.

[Brandon Herrera]

They never. I'm like, okay.

[Fat Electrician]

Every place we land, you're like, well, one city down, two city down, three.

[Brandon Herrera]

Testament to how just shit the government is at. Pretty much any job you give it every place.

[Fat Electrician]

I'm surprised you didn't have a gun in there.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, I'm not going that far. I've accidentally brought like loaded mags and shit before.

[Fat Electrician]

I've had.

[Brandon Herrera]

Buddy, you just believe it. Shit in your bag and you forget it.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. One of the dev group or Delta guys, he got.

[Brandon Herrera]

Can't tell that story. The one you're thinking of.

[Cody Garrett]

Okay.

[Brandon Herrera]

It wasn't us, but it was a friend.

[Fat Electrician]

Tom is the one that got arrested. Delta guy got arrested because he forgot his was. His gun was in his backpack and scanned it through and he had to go to court. They did the entire, like, legal procedure against him and he's like, it was an accident. There's a accident.

[Cody Garrett]

Shoot for a living.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. At the highest level. I have a top, top class, like, top secret guy.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm surprised they give him that much.

[Fat Electrician]

That's why he was amazed by, like, they arrested him. He had to go through everything. This was like late 2010, like to 2015 time period where they're still really.

[Eli Double Tap]

Have you ever seen a video of that happening? There's a couple of videos on the Internet and it's like body cam footage almost, but it's like the dude's recording it, but it's like, apparently if you have a gun and you go through tsa, TSA has to call the cops.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

So there's this like 20 minute gap between people that understand guns showing up and the people at tsa. And on this day, I'm not saying everybody at TSA doesn't know how guns work, but these agents didn't. And it was basically like a middle aged woman holding a Glock like this while loading. He's like, will you please just set it down? And, like, can I take the bullets out of it? This was an accident. I'm sorry. I forgot it was in my bag. And she's like, no, you can't. And she's just, like, waving it around and doing all kinds of crazy with a loaded gun. It was. Oh, like I'm doing this, watching it on my phone.

[Fat Electrician]

I am so sorry. Thank you.

[Eli Double Tap]

We.

[Brandon Herrera]

We probably. Actually, you can probably tell that story if we don't say who it is. Yeah, I figure maybe we'll just bleep.

[Fat Electrician]

Any names up to this point.

[Cody Garrett]

No, we just know of a person. Schmover biker bike Schmurders did this. No, just a person that we know got on, got, like, went through tsa, had a sling bag, just carrying all his personal. On, you know, his charger, cell phone. Like, random hands it to the TSA person. They go through the scanner. He gets onto his plane, goes get his airpods out. Loaded Glock, and it's in his bag.

[Brandon Herrera]

On the plane.

[Cody Garrett]

On the plane. He's on the plane and this loaded Glock is in there. And he goes and just holds it the entire flight and says nothing to anyone.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like, I don't need my AirPods that bad. Just raw. Dogging a flight on.

[Cody Garrett]

Necessity just walked off and was like, my favorite part.

[Fat Electrician]

TSA had an. A literal image, an extra image of a Glock going through.

[Brandon Herrera]

So he never went through the scanner, huh? It never went through the scanner because the guy, he forgot he had it on.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Cody Garrett]

And he's like, okay, here you go. And the guy just grabbed it and.

[Brandon Herrera]

He'S like, oh, yeah, no worries. He's like, just give that to me. And he grabs it and then waits for him on the other side of the scanner. Oh, there you go, man. The ca. The CIA. Jesus Christ.

[Cody Garrett]

The.

[Brandon Herrera]

The TSA had possession of it, and they just gave it back.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Cody Garrett]

That's scary, dude. Get on an airplane looking in your bag.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, I can play a real mean joke right now.

[Cody Garrett]

Funniest thing ever.

[Fat Electrician]

Real mean joke.

[Brandon Herrera]

I may not have chosen where this plane took off from, but I could choose where it lands.

[Fat Electrician]

Just open the overhead bin, put it in somebody else's backpack. Oh, no. Go up to the flight attendant. I just seen him gone. Dude just caused mass chaos.

[Eli Double Tap]

Go in the bathroom, leave it in the toilet, and tell the stewardess, a clock in the toilet. I don't know what, man.

[Brandon Herrera]

There's a Glock in the toilet with my fingerprints all over it. That's Registered to me. I don't know who put it there.

[Fat Electrician]

I have no idea who put that there.

[Eli Double Tap]

Whoa.

[Fat Electrician]

Hey. Oh, my God, dude. Brian, you just did your Red Dead 2 video.

[Brandon Herrera]

We spent today few hours, did that this morning. By the time this video comes out or this podcast comes out, it will have been up for a while. And because I. I was so interested in it and because I poured my heart and soul into it, bought a bunch of guns, tried really hard. It's gonna do like I'm calling it now. That video is gonna perform very poorly.

[Cody Garrett]

10. 10 out of 10.

[Eli Double Tap]

You do that too, huh?

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, every time. I think that's just a creator curse, man.

[Fat Electrician]

That's why we're naming it Red Dead 3, right? Red Dead Redemption 3 trailer. It's just like, this is pretty good, actually. I like it a lot.

[Brandon Herrera]

I hate that that would work.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, 100.

[Cody Garrett]

It would work really well.

[Fat Electrician]

Red Dead Redemption in real life. Or red Dead Redemption 3 trailer.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, but live action guns.

[Fat Electrician]

Literally, people, look.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, the IGN logo in the corner.

[Brandon Herrera]

Literally. I've done that before. I did that for my old music videos. I used to Photoshop the Vivo logo back when that was a thing in the bottom right.

[Fat Electrician]

I forgot about Vivo.

[Brandon Herrera]

I used to do that. And it's. They would actually. It would kind of work for Clickbait.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's hilarious.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm surprised they never, like, sent me a cease and desist.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, I forgot that's an actual company thumbnail.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, I got a cease and desist from Discovery Channel for using the mythbusters logo on my JFK video. Like one of my biggest videos ever.

[Fat Electrician]

Apparently they're big on that.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was like I was calling it, like the demonetized mythbusters series. And because I put the actual mythbusters logo in the thumbnail, they sent me a formal cease and desist. But they made the mistake of giving me like 120 days to comply. So I just let it float for 119 days and on the last day had the thumbnail ready to swap.

[Eli Double Tap]

Good.

[Fat Electrician]

I like, they were being kind of let it play out for. And then you're like, I am waiting.

[Brandon Herrera]

That show doesn't even exist anymore. I'm not financial. If I. I don't have the lawyers to go up against Discovery.

[Fat Electrician]

But no, it's a one.

[Eli Double Tap]

They probably get less views than you at this point.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, that's. Damn.

[Fat Electrician]

I'm just saying maybe Real TV's dead. I don't know.

[Cody Garrett]

Very.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. I don't know people that watch regular TV anymore.

[Eli Double Tap]

MSNBC. Had 38,000 viewers the other day. For the day.

[Brandon Herrera]

Damn. That's like. I'm a moderately successful twitch streamer.

[Cody Garrett]

I would be very disappointed at that.

[Fat Electrician]

That is your. Oh, we up. I accidentally uploaded this at midnight with the wrong name.

[Brandon Herrera]

I got more views than that when I did.

[Fat Electrician]

I know. That's what I'm saying.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. If you're wondering why my 6.5 Creedmore AK video didn't do well, I walked my wife up.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was laughing so hard. 1201.

[Brandon Herrera]

Because all of my friends. Cody called me. You text me, Aaron, like admin text me 12 midnight.

[Fat Electrician]

Like 1 in the morning show sends us a text. I think Brandon made a mistake. I was like, oh, oh, what was the name? Okay, that was fine.

[Brandon Herrera]

Please don't stop calling me. Because I was. I didn't. I woke up randomly. So what happened was. Delance. Sorry, I got to throw you under the bus here. He was having some upload issues, so he tried uploading from his phone, but the auto default was a scheduled upload, which we never do. We always manually turn it on, turn it live. But it was scheduled upload at midnight. That's the default for YouTube settings is upload at midnight. And so it had no title, no thumbnail. The title all caps or, excuse me, all lowercase creed with seven E's and just like a picture of me, just like with the gun. The default thumbnail.

[Eli Double Tap]

I. I clicked on it and I was like, oh, you've uploaded something on his B channel as a joke. Brandon Herrera, Check mark.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, Brandon fucked up SpaghettiOs. I went to bed at 11:30, about a half an hour before I knew this nightmare was going to happen. I'm asleep. I just happen to get up because the dogs need to go out. So, like, I get up, I walk over, like, open the door, let the dogs out, go back.

[Fat Electrician]

Why is my phone.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like the. It's the. The video chase. Please play it of the ratatouille. Like the guy reading the letter, like, that was me. IRL 2:30 in the morning. Like, I immediately, like, changed the title thumbnail. But it was too late.

[Fat Electrician]

The damage was done.

[Brandon Herrera]

I re uploaded it and that did worse.

[Eli Double Tap]

I vividly remember because that was the night I got monetized on Twitter for. On Karl Marx in one post, really got 3 million. 3 million views. Did a whole. Did a whole little bit about how Karl Marx is buried in a private cemetery.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

And said, you know, he could have been buried in a public plot for free, but no, him and his family chose to have him buried somewhere else, private. In Highgate Cemetery, where all the famous rich people get buried. Because at the end of the day, he still thinks he's fucking better than you. And the amount of people that were so pissed off was hilarious.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just like how you have to pay to see Lennon's grave.

[Eli Double Tap]

The best argument that they could come up with. You don't know that Karl Marx wanted to be buried there. Oh, sorry. Frederick Engels, his best friend that was there when he died, said we should bury him here next to his wife. I wonder who chose to put her there, by the way. And then all of his family agreed. You're right. We should put him there. I guess we don't know what the he wanted. Like, I just.

[Fat Electrician]

I just.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like they just chose a random spot on the map. They're like, yeah, there. Oh, rich people cemetery.

[Eli Double Tap]

I just love with communist people. It's like, if you don't have video evidence of him saying. Saying that, I'll never believe you. Regardless of how much common sense points to that being the truth.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just like Che Guevara and the gays.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, God, yes. Just like that.

[Fat Electrician]

One of our favorite things about Ghostbed is that it has cooling technology. So if you get hot at night, like we do down here in Texas, it's a lifesaver.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're still just on college kids. You just don't have to be in college.

[Eli Double Tap]

They tried to community note me on that post. Guess who's got a higher community note rating?

[Brandon Herrera]

The amount.

[Fat Electrician]

And then that post went on like already. They were going everywhere. I was like, oh man, there we go. And you got monetized. Because that one thing I got, you.

[Eli Double Tap]

Need to get 500,000 impressions in like 30 days. And I didn't have that anywhere near that. And that post got 3.1 million in like 40 hours.

[Fat Electrician]

So like, ah. Yep.

[Brandon Herrera]

So because communists don't like that, you make money, you're making more money.

[Eli Double Tap]

My next post. My next post is a screenshot of the invitation to get monetized on Twitter. Hey, I'd like to thank you all the communist college kids that bitching about my Karl Marx post. You guys single handedly got me monetized. I appreciate it. You've done something successful for once. Oh God, it was beautiful.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm so proud of this community.

[Fat Electrician]

Watching everyone on Twitter, I'm like, oh fuck. I. Dude, Twitter is like all my friends. I just watched that is a. Just a scrap yard.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's the Thunderdome, dude.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. I log in, I'm like, oh man.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'll send this, I'll send this to you, Chase. But did I show you I have actual footage of Cody shitting on people on Twitter.

[Brandon Herrera]

We probably can't.

[Fat Electrician]

Where is this going? You can include that if you blur out.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, we gotta blur the. The literal.

[Fat Electrician]

How do you do that?

[Brandon Herrera]

That's gotta be staged.

[Fat Electrician]

That makes it worse. There's a dude sitting on the toilet holding a turd. He's like, now that's way worse if it's staged. I'd rather that dude just be able to shoot a turd out of his butthole seven feet.

[Brandon Herrera]

And like, how do you learn you can do that? You have to practice.

[Eli Double Tap]

The. The first time I met Micah, he showed me what he can do with an ice cube.

[Brandon Herrera]

So that's true.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'd known him for like 35 minutes. He was like, you want to see me shoot an ice cube out of my butthole?

[Brandon Herrera]

Have we talked about that on the podcast before?

[Fat Electrician]

I got that video.

[Eli Double Tap]

I mean, like straight line till it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Left the camera frame. Ballistic heights watching the trajectory.

[Eli Double Tap]

What else do you watch?

[Fat Electrician]

Bryson? Adam.

[Brandon Herrera]

His wife filmed that video.

[Fat Electrician]

She did.

[Brandon Herrera]

His wife is the one who filmed that video.

[Fat Electrician]

If I found I could do that trick, I would never tell a story. The Pacific die with us.

[Brandon Herrera]

Dude, what do you do for fun in Portland?

[Fat Electrician]

Watch speed some cans.

[Brandon Herrera]

How do you learn that?

[Cody Garrett]

You're just looking at. You're about to pour a coke and you're like, what if I put this in my ass?

[Brandon Herrera]

I wonder how far I could shoot it.

[Fat Electrician]

I wonder if he's like, oh, that's cold. He's shocked.

[Cody Garrett]

Oh, my God.

[Fat Electrician]

Honey, get the camera out.

[Cody Garrett]

My boy.

[Brandon Herrera]

Camera.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Speaking of Portland, where the did hipsters go? Wait, wait, wait.

[Fat Electrician]

Communism first.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, God.

[Cody Garrett]

The communists killed them all, Nick.

[Fat Electrician]

Hating on these shoes we spit blood, sweat, blood, sweat and tears.

[Eli Double Tap]

Other people's blood, sweat and tears.

[Brandon Herrera]

Colombian children's blood, sweat and tears.

[Fat Electrician]

Not wear them a single time. Nick, open it for them. Open it. They want to see these. These are A1 of 1 this on.

[Cody Garrett]

The live show, right?

[Brandon Herrera]

We did this in San Diego.

[Eli Double Tap]

I hate all of you.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think they're pretty cool. Dude.

[Fat Electrician]

Those are actually dope as.

[Brandon Herrera]

And what does it say on the spine?

[Eli Double Tap]

I hurt. Communism.

[Cody Garrett]

Look at all little hammer and sickles on there. So cute.

[Brandon Herrera]

It reminds me of the shoes. If anybody's seen the music video. Obscure reference, but love the way you move. The little animated one with the dancing Soviets. That's what it looks like.

[Eli Double Tap]

What is that?

[Fat Electrician]

What is that?

[Eli Double Tap]

What is that?

[Cody Garrett]

Go ahead and plug in computer and see what it does.

[Fat Electrician]

No one. This has been mine. What the is that? I'm gonna open that up and see.

[Brandon Herrera]

Fentanyl.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, but we made some. Nick. Yes, I. I love communism right here. Got the look and the most dope. I hate how good these look.

[Eli Double Tap]

Hunger force ones.

[Fat Electrician]

They look like McDonald's shoes.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's the air diets.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, yeah, we had those made. He didn't wear them a single time. Surprise, surprise.

[Eli Double Tap]

I feel like you knew that was going to happen 100%.

[Fat Electrician]

We bet on that. Like he's not probably going to hate them, but the reaction.

[Eli Double Tap]

Not even in California.

[Fat Electrician]

No, California, Dude, California showed the fuck up at the live shows. Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah. That was. That was some of the better crowd energy to that Yeah. I mean, every crowd we were.

[Eli Double Tap]

We.

[Brandon Herrera]

We had was pretty good, man.

[Fat Electrician]

Y'all are like, the crowd energy's wild. F. Like, I have footage of you getting pinned and everyone singing the army of one song.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, the. Just the theme of the army. That was.

[Fat Electrician]

It is loud, too. That video is loud when everyone starts.

[Brandon Herrera]

Singing it and with Rich waving the flag and everything. Especially in Norfolk. That was awesome.

[Cody Garrett]

Shout out to angry cops. Jesus, dude. American flag on a 2x4. Just waving it around at the start of every show. It was awesome.

[Fat Electrician]

I was so afraid he was going to Chuck that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Child.

[Eli Double Tap]

2X4 Rich.

[Cody Garrett]

It's baby Billiam with it.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, Billiam showed up.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah. The unsub baby.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, we have two unsub babies now.

[Cody Garrett]

Juky little shirt.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

Go grab the. We got his little washing onesie. We. We held him up and did the Lion King song.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

And he was just like, he has little tattoos. He has the sleeves. Yeah, he has little tattoo sleeves. I thought that said Corpse Grinder. I was like, dear God. Hardcore sleeves, bro.

[Brandon Herrera]

It reminds me of the vomit.

[Cody Garrett]

Yeah, got some billion vomit in there, too.

[Brandon Herrera]

It reminds me of that meme where it's like the old man looking at the. The kid, he's got the shirt. It's like, love to surf or whatever. He's like, you don't love to surf. You've never been surfing in your entire life, you little poser. Fuck you.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, fuck.

[Eli Double Tap]

What?

[Fat Electrician]

I am not ready for this.

[Eli Double Tap]

I know. What?

[Cody Garrett]

We got three more days of it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, God. In 24 hours, we will be doing another live show.

[Fat Electrician]

I know.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's fine.

[Fat Electrician]

Which side note also habitual registered the first time as, like, the guests coming on the show for us. I was like, why are you so nervous? You've done the podcast before. And I was like, I forgot about this. Oh, there was 500 people watching you now.

[Brandon Herrera]

Never mind.

[Fat Electrician]

I get where you're nervous. Cool. Like, it did not register with me of why anyone was nervous to go on stage. Because he was like. I was like, what is up with you? So I'm nervous. Like, you've been on the fucking podcast before. Why?

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, there hasn't been 500 people looking at you.

[Fat Electrician]

That's hilarious.

[Cody Garrett]

That was.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, that was rough because that was also at the end of our. Our tour. We had done, like, five shows in four days.

[Eli Double Tap]

We'd been pretty drunk for 36 hours straight.

[Brandon Herrera]

Longer.

[Eli Double Tap]

Nobody cared.

[Brandon Herrera]

And we went to Nashville a day early with the girls.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

So we were like, it's just a Long time of binge drinking, barely sleeping, barely eating because of the schedule. Like, we couldn't really eat. Traveling like Norfolk to San Diego for a show literally across the continental United States.

[Fat Electrician]

Like it. I cannot say it enough. The team, like, from show, Jake, Connor, Finn, Chase, everyone. And then the guys covering down and helping the. The amount of work that goes into even like four days. It is, hey, we are waking up today. We are now flying. We are landing. We are going to sign 75 of the first time, 150 go to the.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hotel just to check in, throw your shit on a bed, and then leave for an Uber immediately after signing.

[Fat Electrician]

150 posters, doing the VIP, eating with 30 minutes. Then you're going on stage. And the first show we had to go back to back then it's off the stage. VIP that closed down.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like 6:20 in the afternoon. Like, okay, time to scarf down your first and only meal of the day.

[Eli Double Tap]

We're. We're never doing two shows in a day. No, but it was really funny because there were several people that had tickets to both shows. And they're like, second show is way better. When you guys were blackout drunk.

[Fat Electrician]

You guys went hard on that second show.

[Brandon Herrera]

Raise your hand if you remember the second show. All right, well, there you go.

[Fat Electrician]

Great time.

[Brandon Herrera]

I thought at least one of you. No, really, it was.

[Fat Electrician]

Dude, we were everyone. It was a lot of drinking. And then it is head back to hotel. We don't. We didn't even do any after. It was the last night we hung out in a hotel room. Like, all the last nights we watched it. We would just sit in the hotel lobby, drink, eat, watch the fight. For the most part. No.

[Brandon Herrera]

San Diego, because that was the. The live. Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

Logan Paul versus Or other Paul.

[Cody Garrett]

Jake.

[Fat Electrician]

Paul versus us.

[Eli Double Tap]

Sitting in a hotel room.

[Cody Garrett]

Yeah, we're sitting in the lobby because we couldn't find it anywhere.

[Eli Double Tap]

And I just ordered pizza and had it door dashed at like one in the morning or midnight or whatever time it was there.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. And then the dude, the one.

[Brandon Herrera]

The fan, where he was like. He's like, oh, my God, are you. And we're like, hey, good to meet you. Sit down. You want a piece of pizza?

[Fat Electrician]

He just said watched and ate like this. He's like this dope. His little. His little kiddo. So we were being respectful, like, hey, yeah, all y'all get some pizza.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, I like assumed he was like, at the live show, just coincidentally. No. He's like, oh, I didn't know you guys did live show. No, I Just know all of you just, like, running into us at one in the morning.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's right. Because none of the TVs had Netflix. So we went down to the. The. The, like, check your email. Fucking computer in the lobby. And, like, we had to keep logging in every 30 minutes to watch the fight.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, every 10 minutes, you'd have to, like, move the mouse because it was like, you're getting logged. I was like, no, no, no. Okay, it's good, it's good. Keep it going.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's the shit you remember.

[Fat Electrician]

But back to back, it was wake up, fly, land, do that. And that was four days straight. And then by never again, Dallas. We woke up. We slept in because our flight was later. And then we were like, go home. And then we didn't talk to each other for. I. Dude, I was like, come out.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, special case. But I needed, like, two to three days to recover from that. That was. My body hurt. My blood hurt.

[Fat Electrician]

I was. My social body was dead on hour one shaking.

[Brandon Herrera]

That last day, I was not okay like that. That night. I was having, like, a blood sugar issue or something. Like, my body was just, like, stopped.

[Fat Electrician]

Like the Dallas flight home, you were like. Your sunglasses were on in the airport. You're like, I'm not okay, Eli.

[Brandon Herrera]

My favorite part is I left my rake on. Everyday earbuds. No, I left my. My earbuds in the hotel. So I just raw dog that our flight home from Dallas, and just like, man, I don't care anymore. Just.

[Fat Electrician]

[Cody Garrett]

Oh, the hammered ass guy?

[Brandon Herrera]

The. I didn't know you were there for that.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, right there outside.

[Brandon Herrera]

Because it was the loading ramp.

[Fat Electrician]

My friends watched that, bro.

[Cody Garrett]

Yo, we heard his head hit the concrete.

[Eli Double Tap]

I heard his heads.

[Cody Garrett]

So homie comes up.

[Brandon Herrera]

He already had a cut.

[Cody Garrett]

Yeah, he comes up and he's like, I got jumped downtown and my got stolen and I tried to make your show and I couldn't make it. We're like, oh, dude, we're so sorry about that. Can we do anything for you? Call an Uber, get you back to your hotel. He's like, now I'm gonna go this way. He turns around and he steps off the loading dock of the the venue.

[Eli Double Tap]

It was like, it was like a shin high curb and he just falls right over. It had to been at least a five foot drop.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, at least.

[Cody Garrett]

You heard, you heard the back of his head because he fell on his feet and then went down backwards and we just heard like head smack pavement. And me and Nick are like, oh, he's dead, dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

But Zach Veteran with a sign.

[Cody Garrett]

Yeah, he was back there with us.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Because it was just silent after we heard smack head hit concrete. And he just goes, oh, dude.

[Eli Double Tap]

I, I, I vividly remember being completely drunk, getting 85 sober and going, my night just got so much longer.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

And then that guy stands up, he's like, I'm gonna drive home. Please don't. We're like, no, you're drunk and you have a concussion.

[Brandon Herrera]

We had to convince him to sleep in his car. Yeah, well, what if they close the gate and like. Well, that's a lot better than you hitting the highway. Yeah, no, don't do that.

[Fat Electrician]

We just watched you almost die. Go to sleep. Go to sleep.

[Cody Garrett]

We hope you're still alive, buddy.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Hopefully you got home okay.

[Eli Double Tap]

Fine.

[Brandon Herrera]

Not that night.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. Thank you for listening though. You did listen.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

You didn't take much coaxing, so shout out to you. It's a good sign. We're good. That the guys are in. Sleep in your car. It's a good time to just sleep in your car.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. That was you trying to communicate to drunk brain. That's always a challenging thing where it's like, you have to repeat the same thing eight times. And like, on the seventh, they're like, oh, wait, okay. I'm sure you had to deal with that as a cop.

[Cody Garrett]

Never.

[Fat Electrician]

Not a single time. I was almost done. It's almost done. Then range day afterwards. And then we finally get a break.

[Eli Double Tap]

For some reason, all my brain can do is picturing a sober person trying to take commands from drunk Cody. As a cop.

[Brandon Herrera]

If you're happy and you know, clap your hands.

[Eli Double Tap]

You sober people never listen.

[Fat Electrician]

These lights flip on people already. Smashes intro why'd you hit me.

[Cody Garrett]

Sir?

[Fat Electrician]

You hit me. Are you resisting?

[Brandon Herrera]

Suspect has reversed into my car at about 30 miles an hour. Suspect is running.

[Fat Electrician]

Cody's driving backwards. Suspect seems to be going 0 miles.

[Brandon Herrera]

An hour doing the side.

[Fat Electrician]

Sir. Have I been drinking or have you been drinking?

[Brandon Herrera]

Let me start again.

[Cody Garrett]

I'm gonna tell you my abc, sir.

[Fat Electrician]

ABC.

[Brandon Herrera]

Dfg.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, man. Well, range day is gonna be a blast. We have that. Well, that would have happened by now.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah, that did happen. Hopefully nobody died.

[Fat Electrician]

Wait, we'll talk about it. Yeah, this is coming on afterwards. So is that hard when we're like, hopefully everyone had a blast.

[Brandon Herrera]

We got a lot of cool people coming this time around. Like, some bigger celebrities possibly than we've ever had, which is gonna be rad.

[Fat Electrician]

It's getting massive. And shout out to you guys for, like, how organized that is. It's doing really good. It's awesome to see that growth. Every. It's just. It has been a wild two years, and I. Next year is gonna. Your. You're doing right now. I don't know what we can talk about at this point. I don't even.

[Eli Double Tap]

Exactly.

[Fat Electrician]

That's not. Not that.

[Brandon Herrera]

But I can say that I've. I've had a lot of calls with. With a lot of people by the time that this episode airs. This is. Anything I know is so outdated, it's not even funny. But, yeah, it's, what, three weeks out, 22 days.

[Eli Double Tap]

Gonna be hilarious when you're, like, VP three weeks in the future?

[Brandon Herrera]

Never. But no. I've had some interesting conversations with some people, and it's just. It started as a meme. I didn't even put my name out there for it in the beginning. It just. It naturally happened on RFK's, like, nomination website, and it just got traction. And then I gave it a little gas and just to. To have at any point, been actually seriously considered by the transition team is a huge honor. And that's cool. And I owe it a Lot to you guys.

[Fat Electrician]

Wild watching that during the live show again.

[Brandon Herrera]

Again, I don't know how that happens, but last live show I was having to leave, take the campaign like important campaign calls and shit. This time it's like, it's. I can't say who it is, but.

[Fat Electrician]

And the next live show actually you're going. We haven't announced the next live show. Chase. We might keep this. We're waiting till we get numbers back because.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh yeah, that's right.

[Fat Electrician]

Communicating for us. Very bad. But next live show you're actually going to be at. At the inauguration. Can you say that?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, the inauguration. We will see. We'll see. Because it's, it's, it's difficult. I'm gonna try to make both because I'm looking at it. There's a three hour time delay. So I'm like, all right, if the inauguration's at noon, it might be able to. Okay, I'll see what we can do. Because we have the other on sub live show that we're gonna be doing a shot show this year, which is really exciting.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. January 20th at the Venetian.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Right after the Gundies. So we're going up as like a double feature. So we'll be following right after that in the fucking Venetian theater. Which is beautiful.

[Eli Double Tap]

How many seats is that? Because it's big.

[Fat Electrician]

1800.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, it's a huge theater.

[Fat Electrician]

A massive, massive theater. So it's gonna be a blast that one. And it's gonna be. But as you're saying, it's like you have that on the exact same date.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. So it's flying again across the country. It's like I feel like Mr. Incredible that. I got time. Oh, man, I got time.

[Fat Electrician]

Brandon, how was your day? I'm sleepy. I had to do this, this, this and this. And now I'm making come jokes.

[Brandon Herrera]

But getting. Watching the 45th president get inaugurated as the 47th is pretty cool. So I would like to see that.

[Fat Electrician]

Dude, that's possible again. Bucket list item. Checking that one off.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. One of the cool precedents.

[Fat Electrician]

It's. It's gonna be wild. But those live show like that, that to the live shows and then shot show again. Just shot show. It's the drunkest I ever see you a shot show.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, that is. What else?

[Fat Electrician]

That's my favorite Shasho. Nick is my favorite. Nick is this Shasha. He's like, Eli, man, love you, man.

[Eli Double Tap]

Bro, I get to walk around indoors smoking cigars. Is like when I come to Texas at least there's like. I mean I should probably go check on bunker branding, do some T shirt stuff. Go talk to Matt, pretend like I'm working shot show.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like Bacchanalia.

[Eli Double Tap]

There's nothing to do but get shit faced.

[Brandon Herrera]

We do a surprising amount of work.

[Eli Double Tap]

There too, like you guys do, I guess.

[Brandon Herrera]

Guess.

[Eli Double Tap]

How many gun companies want an appearance from a guy that doesn't do anything with guns? Zero. And I just get to get shit faced the entire time. It's great.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's a pretty good lot in life, now that I think about it.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was sitting there like, this is my friend the magician.

[Fat Electrician]

Do a magic trick.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, hey, Kyle Rittenhouse.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Cody. Where you guys going? Oh, yeah, both the parents. I'll be here.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, me. Katie, let's go watch you play gambling.

[Brandon Herrera]

Gambling till 3 o'clock in the morning with Hunter.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, Hunter.

[Cody Garrett]

When Hunter gambles is so fun.

[Fat Electrician]

And he's coming back to gamble again, is he? Oh, dude, I think Hunter is like that. I. I believe he act. He's doing that. I know. They're coming out for Ranger Day too. We're actually gonna have Creepcast on an episode.

[Brandon Herrera]

Two of the best podcasts on the Internet.

[Fat Electrician]

I'm so excited for that one.

[Brandon Herrera]

Wait, and then ours.

[Eli Double Tap]

Is this. Is this the episode where I can reveal my plans to force Hunter to animate a story for me and Cody?

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Can I do it on this one?

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

So we're doing live shows and I thought I've heard all the funny stories that we have. Unless it's like new news. And I'm constantly proven wrong because Cody breaks out one of the most epic historical tales I've ever heard from a buddy of his.

[Brandon Herrera]

Which one?

[Cody Garrett]

No, I. I knew. I knew. I knew A seal.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah. I killed a guy.

[Cody Garrett]

He's got a great firm kill with a toaster.

[Fat Electrician]

The brave little murder weapon.

[Eli Double Tap]

So, yeah, Cody's Cody's buddy has a confirmed kill with a toaster. And I think we're gonna try to get a hold of him, have him give us like either come here or just audio get the story. And then I want to try see if we can get Meat Canyon to animate it and style of the brave little toaster and do all the voice.

[Brandon Herrera]

Voice acting.

[Fat Electrician]

Dude, I just thought about that. Hunter.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, no, I just imagine hopefully confirmation that like we can tell the story, like in all the detail and everything.

[Cody Garrett]

Yeah, that would talk to someone about that.

[Brandon Herrera]

A couple people will have to talk to a couple people.

[Eli Double Tap]

A little toaster. Where's the oil?

[Brandon Herrera]

The hunt for oil.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, but they're because we'll have them Call Me Chris and Oompa are coming back on.

[Cody Garrett]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Computer. I don't think there were ever any WMDs.

[Cody Garrett]

We had Oompa and Call Me Chris on before.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Cody Garrett]

I mean, we told her straight up. It's like the only reason we can say we have, you know, 100 million followers worth of people at Range Day is because Call Me Chris has 51 million of them.

[Brandon Herrera]

What does she have now?

[Fat Electrician]

I'm like 70 million across Tik Tok and 70 million. Yeah, across her platforms. It's like she makes up for.

[Eli Double Tap]

She does it. Percent of the U.S. 1 in 4. 1 in 4 people, statistically.

[Brandon Herrera]

She's also Canadian, though, so we said she.

[Eli Double Tap]

Have you ever seen a map of the population density of Canada, though?

[Brandon Herrera]

It's Quebec.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's bro. It's like the Canadian United States border. 50 miles. They're all huddled up next to America for warmth and safety. They're not doing anything with 95 of.

[Brandon Herrera]

That, to be fair. Have you seen what the rest looks like?

[Fat Electrician]

Tundra.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think Buffalo, New York, is, like, unlivably cold. Then you have everything.

[Eli Double Tap]

You don't want to come to Iowa.

[Cody Garrett]

I was about to say Rich doesn't think it's cold. The fourth quarter of the Bills game the other night, shirt off. He said his videos of him with his shirt off, screaming in the snow.

[Fat Electrician]

I did. Regularly.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, yeah, he's got, like, season tickets. He's huge.

[Fat Electrician]

The short thing is what I'm talking about. It's like, between you and Rich, Rich is the only dude that has more hair than you. And he has, like, that fur. And then I was like, oh, after the game, surely when he's walking to his car, he will put his jacket coat on in the snow, and then he's walking in the parking lot shirtless, sending us a message.

[Brandon Herrera]

My favorite part of that, though, is right after I sent this message to the chat, because apparently there was a. It's a tweet and said, is this true that a little girl got thrown down the stairs at the Bills game, and it's this little girl wearing a 49ers hat with a sign that says, I beat cancer. Like, little girl. And I sent it to our group chat, and I go, rich, what the fuck did you do? He replies, don't step to my hood with the wrong colors.

[Cody Garrett]

Rich is like Donkey Kong with the barrel down the stairs of this girl.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hablas Espanol. Spoich.

[Eli Double Tap]

Telling them to make a wish is not what that foundation is about.

[Fat Electrician]

Rich.

[Brandon Herrera]

Jesus. Oh no, I'm not looking forward to that though. I. I get a. I get a head cold when Texas gets below 67 degrees and me do not jive. I'm too brown for that.

[Fat Electrician]

God, I feel so old right now. We're like talking about the weather.

[Eli Double Tap]

But.

[Fat Electrician]

Side note, it is cold and I hate the cold. I have shoes off. Don't like that.

[Cody Garrett]

Well, welcome to the unsubscribed podcast.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh man.

[Brandon Herrera]

Tell me about your knees.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh man. Who wakes up in the middle of night to pee? I do. I wish that was not a lie. I have to stop drinking at like 5, 6pm that is the truth. That cannot have water. Otherwise wake up at like 3am like it. I'm all table.

[Brandon Herrera]

Flip over in your bed. Like all right, time to use the pee pee bowl.

[Fat Electrician]

Did you see the video? The dude that built it in his bed, he cut out a circle and run the tube all the way to his toilet so he can just lick pee in his mattress. It goes all the way to the toilet. And he's like, sorry, I feel like.

[Cody Garrett]

That would scare the hose a little bit.

[Fat Electrician]

You're doing that.

[Brandon Herrera]

You ain't getting.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh man.

[Cody Garrett]

Hold on one second. Just roll over in the bed on your stomach.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like hose scared. Bed peed. Hotel Trivago.

[Eli Double Tap]

You've met my dad when I was in high school, middle school.

[Brandon Herrera]

Maybe you have met his dad.

[Eli Double Tap]

We're. My dad used to race figure 8 cars and we're like out in the garage and him and his friends are drinking, welding together a roll cage inside of like a old beat up ultima for the front wheel drive class for figure eight and it's like negative 30 degrees outside.

[Brandon Herrera]

Smoking cigarettes. Next next to the map. Gas canister.

[Eli Double Tap]

Sure like 100. Welding next to all the kerosene. It's fun. And he's like it's too cold to go outside and pee. Grabs a auger bit, drills through the side of his garage, and just runs a funnel outside and screws it to the wall. Wall funnel is still there to this day.

[Brandon Herrera]

The forbidden glory hole.

[Eli Double Tap]

You go outside and look around the cornerstone. Dead grass. Everybody pisses in this funnel. Oh, it's still there to this day. You guys don't have a piss funnel in your garage?

[Cody Garrett]

Dude, the aircraft I used to work on had piss funnels in the C2 Greyhound. It's like this nasty little black funnel in the back. So the air crew guys, they would tell people, people, that's how you talk to the pilots. Talking. They come back and there's just a brown ring around their mouth.

[Fat Electrician]

That's so military.

[Eli Double Tap]

Military piss is the worst piss.

[Fat Electrician]

It's just cigarettes and energy drinks and MREs.

[Eli Double Tap]

Nobody's hydrated whiskey.

[Cody Garrett]

You've been drinking till 6am Bad coffee.

[Eli Double Tap]

I would speculate a military piss funnel is the only time you're worried about clogging it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like dehydrated the entire time.

[Fat Electrician]

Molasses going down the table.

[Brandon Herrera]

Dust.

[Cody Garrett]

It'll rab dough my eyelids.

[Fat Electrician]

I walked in the door and I heard Nick say, you guys don't have.

[Brandon Herrera]

A piss funnel in your garage. And I don't know what conversation you.

[Fat Electrician]

Had before, but if you're talking about.

[Brandon Herrera]

A funnel in your garage, that PVC pipe hooked up to it that you piss into when you're drunk, so it goes out the back of the garage.

[Fat Electrician]

My brother has this.

[Brandon Herrera]

That is just a Midwest thing.

[Eli Double Tap]

So cold outside, you just turn around.

[Fat Electrician]

You keep the conversation going.

[Eli Double Tap]

You piss in the piss funnel and.

[Fat Electrician]

It sprays out the back of the garage.

[Eli Double Tap]

Hey, you guys don't have that?

[Brandon Herrera]

Mom, the neighbors have a piss funnel.

[Cody Garrett]

We have a piss funnel at home.

[Brandon Herrera]

You don't want to whip your dick.

[Fat Electrician]

Out when there's a minus 20 wind chill. See, that makes sense.

[Eli Double Tap]

Some of you guys have never tried to pull 3 inches of dick out of 4 inches of Carhartt. And it shows. Okay.

Yeah, we did some Turk, some ham, all the fixings. It was pretty good. My parents came out. It was a good time. We all had a good time. Yeah, you don't realize how much time is in between these podcasts because we. We dialed up, we had like five of them in the pipe.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, we had a ton in the can.

[Brandon Herrera]

So we.

[Cody Garrett]

We knew we were going to be doing the live show. So we like, filmed a ton before leading up to our first tour.

[Fat Electrician]

So just so we can get an actual. Because again, live shows, it's like, blah. We got to do that. Okay, we'll do this. And then, yeah, Turkey Day happened. We all had a blast. All hung out. We ate Cody cook. I made beef stew.

[Brandon Herrera]

Rad. Thank you guys, by the way, because that was. It was a very fun, Frank friendsgiving. I obviously appreciate all you guys as friends, but also my woman left for like three or four days. And so, like those leftovers, that. That was. That was my dinner for like two, three nights.

[Fat Electrician]

New Dave and show. When we dropped Dave, I was like, oh, yeah, everyone gave you this because we provided them like two months worth of food. I think Dave was like, what, you need help you got? It was like 18 pounds of food.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, God damn. Yeah, I didn't see how much.

[Cody Garrett]

Oh, no, we were just piling it up. Like, give it to Dave and show.

[Fat Electrician]

You guys had A whole ass pie, right, dude?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

I had like three days of leftovers.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was amazing. 18 pounds of food, three days. Like six pounds a day.

[Fat Electrician]

They're cats.

[Cody Garrett]

My. My girlfriend's extremely Mexican mom, who speaks a little bit of English, made tamales for everyone.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, you're starting to say it with an accent. Dude.

[Fat Electrician]

Dude, the demise was so tamales. And they were from like Mexico tamales. Like yeah. I was so happy.

[Cody Garrett]

We got a little bit of every culture on that one. Dude, it was awesome.

[Fat Electrician]

Aunt did not speak any. I was like, yeah. I was like. She's like.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was like, oh.

[Fat Electrician]

My language ended at llamo Iwa. It's like now I'm struggling to understand. Yell at me. And I got it.

[Brandon Herrera]

But a little bit of Mexican food, a little Asian food, a lot of American food food. There was an empty plate. So Ethiopian food.

[Eli Double Tap]

First of all, Thanksgiving, it's all Indian food. Okay.

[Brandon Herrera]

Feathers.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, feathers, not dots.

[Cody Garrett]

Ain't no curry in my house.

[Fat Electrician]

What'd you do for Thanksgiving?

[Eli Double Tap]

I just go to my parents house and eat a bunch of deviled eggs.

[Fat Electrician]

Is that all they cook? Here's the 18 pound devil leg.

[Eli Double Tap]

Look at me. I overeat every day. Like it's not fucking. It's just not. It's not holiday. It's amazing. Thursday at my parents house, it's all it is.

[Brandon Herrera]

They don't call them the reasonable consumption electrician.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, finally an excuse for me to eat too much food. Whatever. It's. It's the same shit. It's. It's fine.

[Cody Garrett]

Shout out to Connor for making the best double decks.

[Brandon Herrera]

We were gonna talk about my green bean casserole, bro.

[Cody Garrett]

Green bean casserole is good.

[Brandon Herrera]

I ate it yesterday. Very good.

[Eli Double Tap]

Hear me out, guys. What if unsub had a piss funnel?

[Brandon Herrera]

It's Texas. It's just gonna get hotter inside.

[Fat Electrician]

I hope we get a Henry. Henry Caval's on the. Henry Cavill's on the podcast.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, we got a piss on.

[Fat Electrician]

We got a piss on a big. Hey, you want to use a piss tunnel?

[Eli Double Tap]

Of all the people that would be completely unfazed by a piss funnel. The dude that's obsessed with Warhammer 40k is a thousand percent on the list of like a piss in the funnel.

[Fat Electrician]

It's the first thing he does when he walks in the house. He just goes and uses it.

[Brandon Herrera]

But I feel like he'd be so polite about it. Excuse me, gentlemen.

[Fat Electrician]

I like the scenario wherein the toilet is closer than the funnel on the wall.

[Brandon Herrera]

We have indoor plumbing. We're not Savages.

[Fat Electrician]

Just like we would have one and have to explain that to guests.

[Brandon Herrera]

Jesus Christ.

[Fat Electrician]

The girls are outside.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just the head of a wiener we look through.

[Fat Electrician]

Get those tongues out of. They installed a delicious beverage on the outside of the unsub house.

[Cody Garrett]

Oh, God, girls, He's finally pissy.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, God damn it.

[Brandon Herrera]

I I. Where do we go from there?

[Fat Electrician]

I don't know.

[Eli Double Tap]

Hear me out. Let's abolish Social Security.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm game. You mean the literal Ponzi scheme?

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, yeah. 100. No, I did. I that was my next frag grenade into Twitter.

[Fat Electrician]

I was like, oh, and then you get to see everyone. My favorite was like, the top ones. Like, it's not taxes. It's like, huh?

[Brandon Herrera]

What you mean when the government didn't trust anybody to actually save for their own retirement? So they said, okay, we're going to force you to save for your own retirement. But they didn't put it in your own account or anything. They just put into a general slop fund that constantly gets raided and devalued, and so now it's going to be bankrupt in the next 10 years because the fucking government can't handle anything.

[Eli Double Tap]

Did you see the math? I did. No.

[Brandon Herrera]

Please inflate me.

[Eli Double Tap]

The average. The average person pays 6.2% of their income into Social Security their entire working life, and they. The average person will draw $440,000 worth of benefits from Social Security. That's about a negative 4% return. Or.

[Brandon Herrera]

And by the time they draw it, it'll be worth probably less.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Or my proposal was you could put a thousand dollars in an Iraq for a child the day they're born. It's locked up till you retire. The government funds at $1,000. If it just goes off the S&P, 10% historic average S&P, it's gonna be worth $490,000 by the time they hit 60, 67 and a half, or whatever the fuck retirement age is. So you get more money. For a thousand dollars to fund the program, it'd be $3.5 billion a year, which Social Security is 6.2% tax on income. This would be.03% tax on income. Or you can program, or you could.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just be a responsible adult and do it yourself.

[Eli Double Tap]

I understand what you're saying, but for some reason I live in a society where people that don't know the difference between, I don't know, like, profit and loss and income and revenue get a vote that counts as much as mine. So I have to come up with.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, that's the next thing we should abolish.

[Fat Electrician]

Just saying, look, will people suffrage?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yes, we should abolish old people.

[Cody Garrett]

Look, have you ever seen that movie?

[Fat Electrician]

I was like, oh, oh, I got your word. I got you the Japanese way where they just walk off into the forest.

[Cody Garrett]

No.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Cody Garrett]

This great documentary I watched called Midsummer. When you hit 70, you jump off, you hit the rock, and if you don't die, there's a giant mallet man at the bottom.

[Fat Electrician]

The dragon mallet. I know. When you're like, I missed the rock. The mallet, it makes the mallet man bonk. It does make that funny sound, though, when you crush their skull.

[Eli Double Tap]

I've got a five pound sledgehammer with a dog squeak toy on it.

[Cody Garrett]

All the kids laugh. It's a good time everywhere.

[Fat Electrician]

It's a Gallagher show.

[Brandon Herrera]

You need to tape one of those. The. You need to tape one of those. The rubber chickens to it as it comes off.

[Cody Garrett]

Nana. Sorry.

[Fat Electrician]

Dig the hole.

[Eli Double Tap]

What is it? Futurama, where Santa Claus just comes and kills you when you're 65.

[Fat Electrician]

Wait. Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Robot Santa comes and kills you when you're like 65 or whatever. And they have to go and defeat robot Santa.

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, they have a whole episode because.

[Eli Double Tap]

He'S going to come for the old man.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think it's so much funnier the way you described it. As if it was just a known thing. That was such a. Like, he doesn't know about the three seashells. Yeah.

[Cody Garrett]

He doesn't know about the Santa.

[Brandon Herrera]

You don't know Robo Santa comes and.

[Eli Double Tap]

Kills you when you're 65 in the room. Knew what I was talking about, did they?

[Fat Electrician]

That's my favorite TV show. One person knew.

[Cody Garrett]

I knew. I know. He's talking about.

[Fat Electrician]

Okay, never mind.

[Cody Garrett]

To Fry. What's happening?

[Fat Electrician]

Well, it's happening. I've never heard of that. That's hilarious.

[Brandon Herrera]

I've never sat down and watched Futurama. Like, I've seen a few episodes here and there, but I've never sat down and, like, actually watched the show.

[Fat Electrician]

I've watched the dog one.

[Cody Garrett]

Oh, everyone knows the dog, the dog one. Saddest thing there's ever been on television.

[Eli Double Tap]

Brutal.

[Cody Garrett]

Seymour.

[Fat Electrician]

Yep. Seymour the dog.

[Brandon Herrera]

Jurassic Bark.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, Jurassic Park. That's it. Seymour Butts is the name of the dog. The most brutal episode we get.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's just sad. Like, irredeemably sad. Like there's no punchline.

[Fat Electrician]

No, man, I was.

[Cody Garrett]

Oh.

[Fat Electrician]

We started watching Shogun and there's another thing I wanted. Did you watch your new Fuck the League of Legends 1 or this? No.

[Brandon Herrera]

Arcade.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. Did you watch Arcade?

[Brandon Herrera]

I've never seen Arcane.

[Fat Electrician]

You watched Cyberpunk in there?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, the cyberpunk anime is fucking great. And I'm not an anime fan.

[Fat Electrician]

No, like, you got me onto that one, actually.

[Brandon Herrera]

That one's amazing. And then what's the other one? I. Titan Attack on Titan. That one was really good. I like that one too.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's as violent.

[Brandon Herrera]

I know.

[Cody Garrett]

That's.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's like one of the most, like, you know, milquetoast, like, beginning of the iceberg animes. But I enjoyed that one.

[Eli Double Tap]

I like Dragon Ball Z and Avatar.

[Fat Electrician]

Damn right.

[Eli Double Tap]

I love how upset people get when I call Avatar anime. I don't care.

[Fat Electrician]

I call it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Why would it not be considered?

[Eli Double Tap]

Because it's made in America, so apparently it doesn't count.

[Brandon Herrera]

Dog.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's kind of.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. When American. Made in China we still call it.

[Eli Double Tap]

You didn't mind watching it on a TV and a cell phone, which was made in America.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like, yeah, a TV made in China is still a TV.

[Fat Electrician]

100. 100%. I don't even know what are you guys.

[Eli Double Tap]

You're gonna tell me King of the Hill's not anime?

[Brandon Herrera]

You guys, I. I saw somebody, like, did like, a YouTube video essay about, like, why King of the Hill is the best American anime.

[Eli Double Tap]

I mean, it's factual, dude.

[Fat Electrician]

Ax. Hold on. Have you seen the Japanese dubs at.

[Brandon Herrera]

King of the Hill?

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, I wasn't.

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Fat Electrician]

Did you. Did you see the Warhammer 40K German scene? They're like, man, this hits a little different.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's a little Reiki.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. He's yelling at the soldier and it. It goes hard. You're like, whoa. Well, that's just German. It just does. It sounds really bad.

[Brandon Herrera]

Locker room football pep talk in German would sound a little Reiki.

[Fat Electrician]

There is Anime King. Let me see.

[Brandon Herrera]

Makes the French nervous.

[Eli Double Tap]

Have you seen the, you know, like, all the Warhammer 40K like, animations and shit?

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, wait, that's not it. There's one. There's a dude's been recreating, like, American, like, SpongeBob, king of the Hill, and like, high detail Japanese anime. And it is gangster. As I was like, oh, I like, I can watch this. And they were like 10 minute episodes.

[Brandon Herrera]

I like it when. When artists do stuff like that. It's. It's kind of fun. It's kind of like the way Meat Canyon started. Yeah. Where it's just like, he wasn't like a big YouTuber or anything. He's just like an artist who'd like drawing cartoons and stuff. And it naturally got there watching just.

[Eli Double Tap]

So happened to be ridiculously talented. And yeah, with anime, with voices and being funny and his creativity is like his.

[Brandon Herrera]

Not to suck his dick too hard. No, he's just like one of the most. One of the most naturally funny people I've ever met.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, me too.

[Brandon Herrera]

And for sure, on top of that, he can. He can draw, he can do cartoons, he can do the voice acting like just a very talented guy. Very unassuming.

[Fat Electrician]

You know, he gave us a shout out to thank you for the shout out on Military Bros. He showed you during the one episode where he's talking about, like, friend groups. Like the friend groups.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah. I showed you guys that because we were on the live tour and I was just watching it on my phone about like the worst friends you could have. Like Military Bros. And it's a picture of Brad. Yeah, it's me with the M60 or something like that.

[Fat Electrician]

I was like, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

And he's just like, I. He basically like. I just feel like I'm just picturing the. The host of the unsubscribed podcast.

[Fat Electrician]

He's like, I know I hang out with him, blah, blah, blah. But he is like, dude, his content. I love watching how big his second channel has got. Just. And that shows. It's just time, effort. And then also the cree. He gets to do what he loves, which is create those creatures. Like his new stove.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah.

[Cody Garrett]

His little animatronic creatures that he has on there. He's got the computer in the stove now, right?

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. Colonel Sanders is. Oh, Colonel Sanders character that he has come in and out of some episodes is so good.

[Fat Electrician]

He's been knocking them all out because he. Now he does the taste testing. The. The. The stove that's talking back and forth is some of the best humor. It's like, what is that hole? That's my front hole.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's my front hole. Yeah, it's. I. It's like my guilty pleasures just watching his B channel. I enjoy it more than his main channel.

[Cody Garrett]

Did you guys ever watch Peewee's Playhouse when you were little?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yep.

[Cody Garrett]

I know you're as old as I am, so you probably watch some of it because that. That was Peewee's Playhouse. Entire house. I think I asked Hunter about this. He's like, yeah, I'm going for that. But just more up. We're like the stove and like everything talked all, like, in his house. And it's so good seeing Hunter's concept of what those appliances are.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'd like to see a studio set up one day. That'd be kind of fun. Like a studio tour.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. I didn't realize, like, he builds all those sets in his thing, which is.

[Brandon Herrera]

Is it actually a house?

[Fat Electrician]

No, I think those are four corners. Like, the way he was. If I remember right, he was telling me it's just like stages.

[Brandon Herrera]

Okay. That's what I was thinking. Like, I was looking at a detail of it the other day, and I was thinking, like, this has to be a. Like a set.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. And so he can go from, like, oh, the downstairs, the computer room, the kitchen, and they're all just sets built up, so he just walks from one to the other. And he doesn't work from home, which is really smart. Get you out. But that the level of detail he's getting into for his bits is top tier.

[Brandon Herrera]

I've noticed I work better with other people around. Like, not. Not like a bunch of people. But, like, if it's just me and at my desk, I have a hard time sometimes with, like, motivating myself to. I'm like. We all go through it where it's like. It's hard to not just click three. Three buttons and play a video game instead.

[Eli Double Tap]

Be funny.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. You have an upload tomorrow. You have to get an ad out by tomorrow. Be funny now.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. Do this. It's. It makes a huge difference when you have. It's like, hey, okay, everyone's here. I have to work. I can't just be like, no, let's take a break.

[Brandon Herrera]

But he's playing off his friends now, too, because, like, the different characters, he's playing off of people. And you could tell it's fun.

[Fat Electrician]

That's the best. That. That was the best introduction for him, is start incorporating Nick and all the team, because now they have, like, actual vocals back and forth.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. And I don't know if. So I don't know where the voice is coming from, if it's remote or. No idea on that one.

[Cody Garrett]

I think it's filmed in scenes, so maybe. I don't know. It's a voiceover in.

[Brandon Herrera]

In his longer ones, you can tell, like, it's. It's happening at the same time. Like, he's responding to it in one cut. But there's a scene where Nick comes out from behind the wall, so I think he's puppeteering it and he's miked up. Yeah. And if you look at the mouth, it's like mesh. So I Think he's looking through the mouth and he's steering the eyes some way and just miked up, huh?

[Fat Electrician]

We need to go do a tour.

[Brandon Herrera]

I would. Yeah, I just want to see a setup.

[Cody Garrett]

Not even to film it, just to, like, see it. I would really love to see his setup.

[Fat Electrician]

It's like a hundred percent. We need to do that. We're gonna make that happen.

[Brandon Herrera]

We just invited ourselves.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

Hunter, thanks for the invite.

[Cody Garrett]

Thanks. Hunter, check out your studio.

[Brandon Herrera]

You, by the way, don't let me.

[Cody Garrett]

Lose $3,000 of craps at shot show this year, okay? Hunter.

[Fat Electrician]

Just bet what he bets and you'll win.

[Cody Garrett]

That's what I was. I'm just kidding. That's what I was doing the whole time. Hunter's like, all right, Cody, put things on this, this, and this. Throw the dice over there. And I would. And he'd be like, good job. You won 300 bucks. And then he would start pulling his voices out on the pit.

[Eli Double Tap]

What did you do?

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, why did you give me that?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, the poor little Asian car dealer, he's just like, God damn it, Ling, you're me here, Lane.

[Fat Electrician]

I forgot about that.

[Brandon Herrera]

The pit bosses are making them swap.

[Cody Garrett]

Like, anytime Hunter would sit down at a table, the pit bosses would swap every. Every time.

[Eli Double Tap]

Because he was crushing.

[Cody Garrett]

Yeah, he was destroying.

[Eli Double Tap]

For a minute. I was watching, like, for an hour, and I was like, we're gonna. This is like one of the times we're like, we're getting looked at by cameras and I think we might get asked to leave soon because he's winning that hard.

[Brandon Herrera]

Cuz he just had a satchel, like, full of cash that he just brought out there to, like, just to gamble. I. I did not realize he was a good gambler, bro.

[Eli Double Tap]

He was walking around in, like. Like, I don't even know what they were, like, horror themed flip flops.

[Fat Electrician]

The black and white and like.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, no, they weren't flip flops.

[Fat Electrician]

They were the. Well, they're like flip flops. Crocs. Horror crocs.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. Of like, one of his animations. One was black, one was white. He's wearing, like, some Air Jordan oversized basketball shorts and a T shirt. Just crushing the Venetian. Hilarious. While he's doing voices and the dealers trying not to laugh, the pit bosses are watching us. It was horrifying.

[Cody Garrett]

So him and I are part of that Venetian club. You get, like, a little red card and you give it to them anytime you sit down and they send you rewards throughout the year. So, like, I can go stay at the Venetian a Couple like a week out of every month because him and I spent so much money. And they just bring you these cards and I sat down with them and I was like, oh, I lost my card. Five minutes later a lady shows up, didn't know my name, and she's like, Mr. Garrett, here's your new card.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Cody Garrett]

I'm like, oh. Hunter's like, it's okay. That's what happens.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do I have mine? I gotta find my friend.

[Eli Double Tap]

I don't have one.

[Brandon Herrera]

You what?

[Eli Double Tap]

I finally have an employee. I was pretty excited.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, cool. Who?

[Eli Double Tap]

It's like one of my best friends. He was, I'm the one that got him into. I got him into Jiu Jitsu. He became an electrician because of me. He like turned out as a journeyman and then like a week later he's like. Because he owns the Jiu Jitsu gym now and he's trying to make that like be his full time job and he just needed like a little bit of extra. I'm like, help me, you know, like, just be my guy if I need something. Like, I travel a lot. Like you live a block away from me. Like just be around so I can call you up and then help me with like research and writing and shit. Because he's really funny, nice, and he's. I've got him like in a course to become an editor and shit, so.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hell yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

But his name's Calvin. But you know what? I put on his W2 or had my accountant put on his W2. His W2. His job title is Lead Henchmen.

[Fat Electrician]

It's like, thanks, this is going to look great.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'm going to get audited by the IRS at some point and it's going to be hilarious. And how many shirts did you sell that said legalized tax evasion? Enough. Don't worry about it.

[Brandon Herrera]

So. Oh my God. So that reminds me of a story because like we talk about our shop employees all the time. Like, you know, they're. They're all friends of mine. Like, they're a bunch of good dudes. Very, very smart, sharp guys. But the joke obviously is, you know, everybody in the shops got the fucking tism. And the joke that I kept making is that they're all tax write offs just because, you know, obviously special needs employee. Hell yeah, that's a tax write off. But we took it a little far at one point and I can't. I won't say who it was with that we were visiting very, very high end, very, very good company with a very big presence. And Zach was wearing a shirt that was something alluded to, like, had the puzzle piece or whatever, like something autism related, like in an ironic way.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

And, you know, like, we do all sorts of work for autism charities and stuff like that. So, like, I don't feel necessarily bad about it. We will do a couple of tongue in cheek jokes every now and again, but it's hard to explain that to people who aren't aware.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, very hard.

[Brandon Herrera]

The owner of this company is there with us, and I didn't even put two and two together, but he looks at his shirt, he's like, that's awesome. I'm so glad that people will hire people like you. My son has autism and he just goes on this whole thing like a very heartfelt like. Like, it is. It's so great to see the inclusivity in the autism community and whatnot. And we're all just like, nobody say a word. Just like, let this ride. There's no explaining this right now. Just let it ride.

[Fat Electrician]

Start stimming now.

[Brandon Herrera]

Zach spells. Zach's like, zach, you're retarded now, Zach.

[Cody Garrett]

Tell them how cool that train is over there.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's still something we kind of chuckle about because it's like, obviously something you just don't correct people on.

[Fat Electrician]

You just, oh, no, he's not. Yes, yes, yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Very hard to explain otherwise. Like, we know the context, but.

[Fat Electrician]

Where's your headphones, bud? Go get him. Go get him from the car.

[Brandon Herrera]

That just gives him free reign to just act like an all day. And we just. You can't get mad at him because.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, I should have asked you this off camera. Zach wanted to know if we were planning on having him tell the donkey story at the last three venues, since he's going to be there for all of them.

[Fat Electrician]

Is he going to be at that?

[Cody Garrett]

Yeah, it's always an epic story.

[Fat Electrician]

We can have him toss it on the. Actually, the Boston show would be all.

[Eli Double Tap]

Zach said was we have to keep reenacting it like we did Norfolk or Nashville because we reenact. No, it wasn't.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was the second show wasn't.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, that was. Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

We were shit faced and apparently Zach.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh.

[Eli Double Tap]

And angry and Rich reenacted the. Of the donkey and Zach was the donkey.

[Cody Garrett]

You know my favorite part. We had a. You know, we had lawyer Jake. Like, all right, guys, don't drink too much. The first show, he got two shows. We stumbled up to the second show and then you guys reenacted the talkie story.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, we're okay, Jake.

[Cody Garrett]

Don't worry about it.

[Fat Electrician]

We're professionals.

[Eli Double Tap]

This is also the same venue that. That was like. Our staff is really on edge with you guys and your audience. They're scared us shitface. Reenacting a donkey on stage five minutes into the show.

[Fat Electrician]

Staff very happy by all you all though, because the tips, they have an awesome community. Dude, that staff turned around real fast after. They're like, yo, cool, like, do whatever you want, Hannah.

[Eli Double Tap]

So when Hannah showed up to San Diego, we're not going to say what happened. Oh, I don't know if. I don't know if she's okay with me telling that story yet.

[Fat Electrician]

I was just laughing.

[Brandon Herrera]

What are you talking about?

[Eli Double Tap]

My wife may or may not have had something that made her paranoid and like way too much of it. Like, way, way too much. And I go out to recover my wife from the crowd because a lot of the fans recognized her Miss fat electrician from the delete me ads and all that. And they're wanting to get pictures with her and she is just like, like super paranoid. So I go, we. We get her out and on the car ride home, she's like, it's so scary having all those people there. What if somebody wants to hurt you? Blah, blah. Like, I don't want you to go out and see the fans anymore. Blah, blah. Sweetheart, even if there was one person there trying to fight, there's 999 other people there. They're gonna. That guy.

[Brandon Herrera]

Not only that, half our fans, half our fans can't read, let alone read Catcher in the Rye.

[Fat Electrician]

Jesus. That is the only time you would have fans. It would turn into the zombie movie where the guy's like ripped. Oh, yeah, our fans would do that. Like some dude goes to draw on us, you would see this. Like, they're ripping his flesh out.

[Brandon Herrera]

You just look out into this sea of people. 150 of them have killed people. Like, probably a lot of people.

[Eli Double Tap]

As I joy as a sweetheart that's literally. I'm probably never been safe. The only time I've ever maybe been safer is at Range day when they do have machine guns. Other than that, like, I've never been in a safer room in reality, ever, Ever. Like, when we go. Because at the end of all the live shows, like, we go out and we, like, say hi. We are, like, signing autographs, like, taking pictures, giving hugs, whatever. And, like, it gets to the point where the security guards, like, we don't have enough men to force these guys out. Could you please go in the back? Because I can't. Yeah. If you said we're not closing, we're not closing. But we'd really like to love to.

[Fat Electrician]

Close right now, actually.

[Eli Double Tap]

I think staff wants to go home.

[Cody Garrett]

At the end of every show. I think we ended up getting kicked out. Everyone wanted to hang out, which is not a problem for us. But the venue, you know, we got to. We got to go by their rules. But it was awesome. You guys are amazing. That was such a cool tour.

[Brandon Herrera]

There's a very good crowd.

[Fat Electrician]

That was the only time, like, walking out. It is when you walk out, it's like screaming, you're. Oh, man, I need energy drink. I will walk around. You walk really far around the dark corners. You're like, I don't. I'll just wait. I'll walk back and I'll say hi to everybody.

[Brandon Herrera]

But, yeah, I. Yeah, I'm only, like, kind of on edge for, like, the first five, ten minutes, and then I just feel at home like, our audience is so good, dude.

[Fat Electrician]

The level of resp. Again, we are truly blessed through that. The yelling. The, like, good yelling. It's like cheering, screaming Cody's name getting chanted. Also, Patrick. What y'all did for Patrick at Norfolk.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, that was awesome.

[Fat Electrician]

That was probably one of my favorite moments as a dude going through stage four cancer treatment. And his mom sent an email. We took care of him, but the mom, I was like, oh, we got. Don't worry. I was like, we'll make sure. The mom was so sweet. She was just like.

[Eli Double Tap]

Just.

[Fat Electrician]

If you could give him a hug, we would love that. He's going to be on the vip. He wants to meet you all. It'll mean the world to him. He's going through all this, but if you give him a hug, that would mean the world. Like, girl, got you. Like, the entire crowd was chanting because.

[Brandon Herrera]

We had name at the end of every live show, we gave. Like, Rich had the flag, like, an American flag. That was the. The board itself. Was signed by all of us. And so, like, he's just, you know, waving it left and right and he's like giving it up to somebody in the audience and that. We gave it to Patrick at the end of Norfolk.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

And had the whole crowd just chanting his name, whatnot. Like, all the hosts are just like, up there.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like, I'm not crying.

[Fat Electrician]

Reverse tears.

[Brandon Herrera]

Also suck it back in.

[Eli Double Tap]

Funny part about that story. We're doing the VIPs and we're like, you know. Oh, you know, you get the picture. Whatever, whatever. There's another dude named Patrick.

[Fat Electrician]

Gave Eli.

[Eli Double Tap]

Didn't realize it wasn't that Patrick and is like, oh, bro, we're so happy to see you.

[Brandon Herrera]

Blah, blah.

[Eli Double Tap]

We've got a shirt for you and a bunch of stuff. And that Patrick's like, oh, okay, cool.

[Fat Electrician]

Are six foot six, like 300 pounds. I'm like, man, these are cute.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was like, oh, this is Patrick.

[Fat Electrician]

It's like that. And then Patrick and the mom, Patrick.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was like, ah, shit.

[Fat Electrician]

Well, a free shirt. And I said, good luck. We're gonna take care of you. He was probably like, man, this is a real nice.

[Brandon Herrera]

Eli's just like, I know what you're going through. And he's like, I don't.

[Fat Electrician]

Are they gonna kill me? I forgot.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, God.

[Fat Electrician]

Shout out to both Patrick.

[Eli Double Tap]

So with the, like the miss Fat electrician and the delete me ads thing, you know, she always has a new gun tax write off then. Did I show you guys the. What CMMG hit me up with. CMMG is just like, hey, we were just around and they have that new model. I forget what it's called off the top of my head. I'm sorry, I'm drunk. But they have this new. It's basically an ar, but it's got like a normal rifle stock and it basically skirts most dissident. Yeah. Yeah, maybe. Anyway, it's like their version of like the Sig Ranch rifle. Same type of concept. Like, it's just.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, no, never mind.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's designed.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh.

[Eli Double Tap]

Designed to skirt all the.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was thinking of the one without the buffer tube. Yeah, yeah. No, you're.

[Cody Garrett]

You're.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's literally that. Except it's got a normal stock, like.

[Brandon Herrera]

A sporting kind of like.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. So it like skirts a lot of the anti AR15 rules. And like, I think it's like legal in 48 or all 50 states.

[Brandon Herrera]

Featureless and all that.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, all that stuff. And they're like, hey, we were just around and we made one. It. I. I kind of realized that. It looks like a. Like a Bush light can.

[Brandon Herrera]

Did.

[Eli Double Tap]

Did you want it? So now it's going to be in the delete me ad.

[Cody Garrett]

Are you going to say no to that?

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, damn. That actually kind of.

[Eli Double Tap]

Does it look like the hunter version of the Bush light can? That's a picture of this.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

So she gets to hold that in the delete me ads in the future.

[Fat Electrician]

She actually walked out on stage and did.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, she did. She walked out on stage and did the delete me thing and she was. She had a good time.

[Brandon Herrera]

What show was that? Was that San Diego?

[Eli Double Tap]

That was San Diego.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

Crowd went, wow. Like, she was like, yeah, because she was nervous as getting up. Like, go, go, go, go, go. And she did it and then. And yeah, that crowd went wild. And they're like, ah. She was like, what the. It was awesome seeing everything.

[Eli Double Tap]

I hit her with the Dave Chappelle punchline.

[Cody Garrett]

Which one?

[Eli Double Tap]

The one about Bill Clinton where he's like, I didn't realize how famous the President was. You ever been so famous you could somebody, then they're famous.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, my God.

[Fat Electrician]

How'd she take that?

[Eli Double Tap]

She just rolled her eyes. There's never been anybody less than impressed with me in my entire life.

[Brandon Herrera]

Ask Ray J about that one.

[Eli Double Tap]

You say what you want. The Kardashians mother is a marketing genius.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, yeah, she is.

[Cody Garrett]

Let a rapper. Come on, you kids. It's okay.

[Eli Double Tap]

Look, what do you got?

[Fat Electrician]

I got.

[Eli Double Tap]

I got a bunch of daughters with no talent. I'mma turn this into an empire. I. I respect it.

[Fat Electrician]

My daughter, that 18's a billionaire. You done good. When you have multiple billionaires.

[Cody Garrett]

There was actually transmitted billions.

[Fat Electrician]

I take that std.

[Brandon Herrera]

There was one. There was a business guy I was listening to who was talking about the Kardashians, and, like, it really stuck with me. Like, I heard it probably 10 years ago. But he said that they proved the concept that if you can get half the world to hate me, I could rule it. Or it's like, you. You don't need anybody. You don't need everybody to like you. You just need, like, that many people that do, even if 70 of them hate you. I mean, look at the polls. Find me somebody who likes the Pauls.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like, watching and hate watching. Pay the same.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, it's. It's crazy. And, like, I never want to do that. Like, as a brand. Like, that just doesn't sit right with me. I don't have to do that. I don't care a lot of those.

[Fat Electrician]

Watching those people build that. I mean, Mayweather's exact example, when he went from money or pretty boy to money Mayweather, because he was like, oh, I make way more money if everyone just hates me. So he turned into like, money Mayweather, like, Connor.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'm so mad.

[Fat Electrician]

The Tyson fight. I'm so. Dude. That it's. It doesn't. I don't know.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'll die on the. No, I don't think it was Tyson going in there saying that. He just, like, realized he doesn't have the heart for it anymore. I completely, completely believe at that age. At that age too. But, like, I just. If it had the potential to be the most unifying thing for the United States since 9, 11, if Tyson just walked out there and knocked him the out that first round when he was ducking and popping up and he cracked him once. Oh my God. It's gonna happen. Oh, my God. For 12 minutes, all of the United States is going to be on the same team and happy. It's going to be amazing. And then it didn't happen because, yeah, he hugged him for the first two rounds and wouldn't let him fight.

[Fat Electrician]

I want George, just old George Foreman to go out. Just Old George is still my favorite boxing movie dude. He's still. Did you see him hitting the bag? He was like, I'll fight him, bro.

[Eli Double Tap]

Can we get him on the podcast?

[Fat Electrician]

George? I don't know.

[Eli Double Tap]

He's in Texas.

[Fat Electrician]

I would love to have that man, that, that dude. As you're saying, it's like some of the best. That's a really good movie. So I kind of. How's that little grill business doing? You're not having any idea about that.

[Eli Double Tap]

Mr. Foreman, sir, I, I will forcefully drag all three of these men and the cameras to you to film a podcast with you, and we will go to church with you after the fact or before the fact, whatever you prefer. If you will just come hang out.

[Brandon Herrera]

Gladly, please. I wonder, I will help with the dragging.

[Fat Electrician]

George Jr. George III. Fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, all of them.

[Brandon Herrera]

That really.

[Fat Electrician]

That's not a joke.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, they're all George Foreman.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's awesome.

[Fat Electrician]

There's the second Cody.

[Eli Double Tap]

See?

[Fat Electrician]

How many?

[Brandon Herrera]

Normally that's a multi generational thing.

[Fat Electrician]

No, that is one generation.

[Brandon Herrera]

Holy.

[Eli Double Tap]

Cody.

[Fat Electrician]

How many? How many?

[Brandon Herrera]

How do they name your kids?

[Fat Electrician]

Huh?

[Brandon Herrera]

How do they name their kids? It's gonna have like one. One set of parents is gonna have like the 11th, the 17th, and the 22nd.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, yeah. How do they, like, do I have an order of who's born? Or is that.

[Cody Garrett]

Yeah, five sons and seven daughters, total of 12. His five sons are George Jr, George 3rd, George 4th, George 5th, George 6th. Yeah, yeah. So he's got six little Georges I love.

[Fat Electrician]

Dude, that's the easiest. George. Okay. That one. Come here.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's a number of them.

[Cody Garrett]

Four, five sons are George's. So they got, they got nicknames. There's Monk, Big Will, Red, Little Joey, and then George Junior.

[Eli Double Tap]

I bet Little Joey's still massive.

[Cody Garrett]

Oh, do you know they're all just.

[Fat Electrician]

That's probably the biggest.

[Cody Garrett]

They have his genetics.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, but I don't. He's my.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's a boy named Sushi.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Where he just like gets jacked because his name is Little Joey.

[Eli Double Tap]

He's my favorite boxer for sure. Nothing better than. How old was he when he made his 47. 47. Going in just like or 42. Here's my plan. I'm going to cover up and hit you so hard that you just die.

[Fat Electrician]

What? Brandon, if you want to see chaos, watch it. That man hit a 300 pound heavy bag. It is terrifying because it is moving. We hit 1- hundreds just for reference.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

300 is like swinging. And he's leaving impacts during his prime. And his prime, he retired in his 20s or early 30s, came back in his late 40s and then became the heavy world. Like the world heavyweight.

[Brandon Herrera]

And you don't feel bad rooting for him because he's not a convicted.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

So it's really cool. You kind of feel good about it.

[Fat Electrician]

Everyone always forgets that little history lesson.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Cody Garrett]

He retired in 97 at the age of 48 with a final record of 76 wins comprised of 68 knockouts.

[Brandon Herrera]

God.

[Fat Electrician]

Dude, he had like heavy, bro.

[Eli Double Tap]

And it's like the only reason Muhammad Ali beat him was because that's when the rope, a dope was invented.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like he had to invent a new fighting style.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, not only did he have to invent it, he had to get lucky. And the ropes weren't in like set up correctly. That was like the whole lore is the top rope wasn't tensioned appropriately. So he could like he had enough to be able to lean back and so far away that George couldn't hit him and he had to wait till he get gassed out. Like, Muhammad Ali got lucky.

[Brandon Herrera]

Holy shit.

[Fat Electrician]

And Brandon, he did a cross guard. So he was one of the few boxers that did a cross guard. So you block like this. Like you fight like this.

[Brandon Herrera]

Muhammad Ali would.

[Fat Electrician]

No.

[Brandon Herrera]

Or George. George.

[Fat Electrician]

That's why he's like, I'll just take.

[Eli Double Tap]

Dude the tank.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. I'LL just get hit and I'll fucking hit you as hard as physically possible and kill you. And if you watch his knock as those dudes die, it's my favorite.

[Brandon Herrera]

They're like, like, practical question. Why is the cross guard not more common?

[Fat Electrician]

Because it. You can't hit from it. Think. You don't have a quick. You can't swing. So you're, like, waiting for counters. Yes, you can absorb, but so you.

[Brandon Herrera]

Almost, like, have to, like, slip and then counter.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. Or wait, and then you're just relying on literal, pure strength to punch through their guard. And he could do that very easily.

[Cody Garrett]

68 knockouts.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's crazy.

[Cody Garrett]

But he only. He lost five times. That's his entire career. Five times. 68 knockouts.

[Fat Electrician]

Some of those dudes I love fighting so much. I'm like, who did he.

[Eli Double Tap]

Who did he beat for the heavyweight title? Liston. Sonny Liston. I think that's who he took the heavyweight title from the first time around before O took it from him. Liston. Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

Was it Liston or what was the other big one during that time frame? It was Ollie, Foreman and Frazier.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, it might have been Frazier.

[Brandon Herrera]

Foreman. Frazier was big.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, you're right.

[Brandon Herrera]

I want to talk about this, too. The. The. I found this out from the unsub audience. The Mama Ali thing.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

I forgot about that. But I saw it because I was talking about how, like, there was a bar we used to go to. I don't know if you were on this episode where I'm, like. One of the managers was like, oh, that's Mama Ali. Like, Muhammad Ali's mother. That was still, like, around, like, an older. Older black lady. But, like, he was like, oh, that's Mama Ali. And I was fully convinced that it was Mama Ali. I've met her several times. She's very nice. And this, like, he was always super infatuated, like, celebrities and stuff like that. And he was always trying to be, like, a promoter type, like, oh, this is this football player. I'm like, dude, I don't do sports ball. Like, fighting is the only thing I've even kind of kept up with. With super into it now, but even back then, like, kind of a little bit. So I'm like, okay, that's cool. But he always, like, introduced her, like, oh, yeah, Mama Ali, like, would treat her like royalty when she come into, like, this big, like, downtown bar. And then one of the comments pointed out, like, Muhammad Ali's mother died like, years before this story or something like that. And I Looked into it and I looked it up and I'm like, holy. Who the did I meet all those times? Like, one of the. Like one of the comments was like, this is physically impossible because. And then they detailed it. I don't remember exactly what it was, but I was like, like second guessing my life. I'm like, this man very confidently introduced me to this. This woman several times.

[Fat Electrician]

That woman just pulled the long con to get free food.

[Brandon Herrera]

I have no idea.

[Cody Garrett]

Or you got Mandela.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Or maybe I'm from the universe where she was alive and well and going to bars in Raleigh. But yeah, Mandela. Dude, it was weird and I would have never known about it. I think it was a pepper box comment.

[Fat Electrician]

No, that I was just like, oh, wait, what?

[Brandon Herrera]

And it me up so much, I googled it and they were right.

[Fat Electrician]

Huh.

[Brandon Herrera]

So that guy was a piece of shit.

[Fat Electrician]

Just lying to you.

[Cody Garrett]

A restaurant owner being a piece of. No way.

[Fat Electrician]

That never happens. Ever.

[Brandon Herrera]

He wasn't even. He wasn't even an owner. He was a manager. Oh, yeah, dude, I saw a picture of a guy on a walk with like a bite taken out of a uncrustable. He's like, oh, man, RFK is about to ban the out of these, isn't he? Dude, gonna be an underground market for that.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, start buying all those Internet. Yeah, we need to start buying.

[Brandon Herrera]

Look, I'm not a big fan of any government agency. I'm not a big fan of the government. I'm not a big fan of regulation, period. I'm a borderline philosophical anarchist. Almost like. I just hate all of it. However, if you're gonna have an organization like the. The fda, at least make sure they exist to, I don't know, make sure there's not poison in our fucking food. Instead of raiding the Amish over having raw milk. Just as a theory. You know, I think that's kind of cool, actually.

[Fat Electrician]

That's a good. You talk about that. Yeah, you're like, oh, yeah, what about that segment? Go.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'm gonna get to that. One second. I have to read one stat that I heard the other day about uncrustables. Guess how many uncrustables the NFL eats per year.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, all of the NFL?

[Eli Double Tap]

Yes.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, like money wise or poundage or like the team.

[Cody Garrett]

Teams are eating them.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, because they're like very popular for like. Because you're a £300 dude operating high level. You just need high calorie.

[Brandon Herrera]

37,000.

[Fat Electrician]

Wait, wait, hold on.

[Brandon Herrera]

Whoa. All right, I'm out.

[Eli Double Tap]

In a single season, the NFL 420,000. No, it's 80,000 uncrustables. It's a lot of PB and JS for snacks. But regardless, the raw milk thing. So I had Calvin actually do a bunch of research on raw milk because I saw a bunch of footage of straight up TAC teams raiding Amish raw milk dairy farmers. And the way that this kind of functions is I looked into it. Raw milk basically got not completely banned, but heavily, heavily regulated in like the 1930s prior to like everybody having a refrigerator and refrigeration being super common because it's easy to get milk tainted with like, bacteria, E. Coli, whatever. The. Then refrigeration came around and it's allegedly not a super big problem. Don't take my word for it. You're going to research whatever. But it's just been kind of like a law that stuck around for whatever reason. And so the way the Amish go about it is they're like, okay, well, I'm gonna have a health club and just people can pay me $50 a month or whatever. And in exchange for that, they get all the milk they can drink raw. They just come and pick it up from my barn and I just have a big vat of it. You come fill up your jug of raw milk, whatever the. And that way, you know, people aren't accidentally buying raw milk not knowing what they're getting at a grocery store. Like, if you seek out one of these Amish health clubs, you know what the you're doing. You're a grown ass adult. If you want to drink raw milk and potentially get E. Coli, that's on you. You're do what you want. This is America. And FDA does not like that. And they were raiding these raw milk dairy farms and they would go in and dump dye into these huge vats of raw milk. And then they had like cheese and other shit too. And they'd confiscate, ruin all of it. They destroy it. They'd take all the cheese, confiscate it, completely destroy it. And the biggest, I believe the biggest Amish population in the country is in Pennsylvania.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

And this has all been going on over the last three to four years more heavily than normal. And that was actually the motivation of why 150 to 180,000Amish people got together and voted for Donald Trump in a swing state. So Donald Trump literally might be president over spilt milk.

[Cody Garrett]

Fuck with Amish, man.

[Eli Double Tap]

I just. What if we quit? Government overreach. I don't know. I mean, look, at the end of the day. Nobody's been arrested for going to Child Epstein island, but we've killed a squirrel and a raccoon.

[Brandon Herrera]

I mean, we got cats and. Tell it.

[Eli Double Tap]

I have a structured settlement, but I need cash now.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. Jack. Was it jack? I think it was a Jack. That sounds like a Jack.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

And then the entire crowd automatically knew.

[Eli Double Tap]

Jack Mandeville just said like the first four words and 900 people screamed. Called JG8 77 cash.

[Fat Electrician]

No.

[Eli Double Tap]

The fucking room rattled at the end of that. It was awesome.

[Fat Electrician]

We're gonna just start doing live ad race.

[Cody Garrett]

A thousand people already know the genius.

[Fat Electrician]

We will shout your company out and have it yelled back at us. Please come hang out and have a good time. What are we doing? What are you guys doing for Christmas?

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't know, actually. I haven't been playing that far. I just. I'm looking forward to having a bit of a break, catch up on my own, like, work stuff. Because we've been doing like the live shows and of course we got range day coming up. Like, the last three months of the year are always super chaotic for us, so I'm just looking forward to spending some time with family, just chilling out.

[Eli Double Tap]

Hi.

[Cody Garrett]

I'm gonna go see my mama.

[Brandon Herrera]

Nice.

[Cody Garrett]

Just hang out.

[Fat Electrician]

Chill Mama donut.

[Cody Garrett]

Yeah. Just to like, get a peek inside the industry and the things that we do. Guys, the last three months are so important too, because people are buying our T shirts, you know, for Christmas, for Thanksgiving. Just gifts and things like that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Not only that, but also the Adsense because, yeah, Black Friday, Christmas shopping and everything. Companies spend more in the last two and a half months of the year than they do any other time. Yeah.

[Cody Garrett]

So these are our like super heavy work periods for creators and just people that do the YouTube thing like this.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's a real shit time to have an upload happen at midnight.

[Fat Electrician]

Right.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's a really good time to go on live tour.

[Fat Electrician]

Live tour and launch a live tour. Launch a shoe company run pepper box and get like. It's just stack business onto business, onto business on the business. It's like, it's fine. It's fine. It'll be fine.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's gonna be okay.

[Fat Electrician]

Just don't die.

[Eli Double Tap]

Look at Connor. We've got him in our corner. We can't fail.

[Fat Electrician]

He's wearing socks and flops.

[Eli Double Tap]

You remember the first time you came to unsolved and then I didn't hug you. I don't regret it anyways.

[Brandon Herrera]

Jesus Christ. Holy.

[Fat Electrician]

There's too much expensive equipment in between me and you.

[Brandon Herrera]

Right now. But imagine I picked something up and threw it at you. You can always throw your magic mind.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's okay. Hey, we bonded over piss funnels.

[Fat Electrician]

He just pisses on you.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, God.

[Cody Garrett]

Pissing again.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, no. Guess who.

[Brandon Herrera]

CPAP machine's gonna be full of piss tonight.

[Eli Double Tap]

You see, Pat, you weren't supposed to tell anyone.

[Brandon Herrera]

More like a PPAP machine.

[Fat Electrician]

Shoot, Brandon.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's all right. That helps us go die.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, I got a. I have. My kid is. He's going to be four this month, and it's like the first year. He's cognizant enough to understand that Santa's on the way, so that's a lot of fun. He's super jacked about all the shit Santa's going to bring him. Dad, dad, we have to leave out cookies for Santa. Yes, yes, we do.

[Cody Garrett]

Make sure that this flavor.

[Eli Double Tap]

He's super pumped to explain it to me.

[Brandon Herrera]

Listen, don't tell your mother, but I got an inside scoop and the exact kind of cookies that Santa likes. Yeah, right. Make sure she knows.

[Eli Double Tap]

Right?

[Fat Electrician]

And then Santa gets all the credit.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's okay. Santa's bringing my kid the. The Fisher Play School 1993 pirate ship with all the knights and pirates and shit on it.

[Fat Electrician]

The castle dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

I wanted. As a kid, and I only asked for that Nick. I know. I totally did. Nobod. Nobody showed him. Nobody showed him that and was like, look how cool this would be. Like, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm just glad my dad to this day still like, as he. You'll. You'll mention it in casual conversation about, like, Christmas or whatever. If you mention anything about a Big Wheel, he's just like, yeah, you know, that would have been really cool as a kid. So that Big Wheel that everybody else on the street had. But you know, Santa just never. Santa hates the poor kids, so never got a big.

[Fat Electrician]

We started talking about that, how Santa hates poor kids.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, I think for Christmas this year, Santa Claus.

[Fat Electrician]

It's like Santa will give the rich kids nice stuff and the poor kids. Bastard.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm going to. I'm going to ebay right now. I'm buying my dad a Big Wheel as a joke.

[Eli Double Tap]

You gonna get him like, an actual one with a steering wheel or are you gonna get him the green machine with the two levers? The two levers are way cooler.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, but I think he. He's gonna want OG Yellow Big Wheel in the front.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Cody Garrett]

Gotta have the Big Wheel in the front.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Should I get one big enough for him to actually ride or just as a Joke.

[Eli Double Tap]

Get him a motorized one. 1.

[Fat Electrician]

Dude, no. Get him when he has to pedal.

[Cody Garrett]

Have I showed you guys my Sears catalogs?

[Fat Electrician]

That's what I was going to say.

[Eli Double Tap]

What?

[Cody Garrett]

I have the 92 to 9, I think 98 Sears catalog for every year. The ones we used to look at when we were kids and wish we weren't poor.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. The one Nick makes his kids read. So he picks those to choose from. That's what his circles.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're like Pokemon red and blue. Yes. You're like scping your kids to just do thrift shop finds, bro.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like my. So like my. I've been. Me and my wife both been super like, I'm not gonna have my kid. My kid has not had a tablet. My kid does not have any video games whatsoever. I bought him. I up. I bought him. There's this like 2915 megapixel little toddler camera that he could take pictures with. But I didn't even know this when I bought it. But you can go in the menus and you can play Snake on it. So he's just like playing Snake on this camera all the time as a four year old. And I'm like, I told my wife, I'm like, I'm buying him a Game Boy color. Like I'm gonna go to gamestop or whatever, buy him a 20 year old game Boy color and a bunch of old. He's gonna grow up playing the same games I did at the same exact time in 2024 though.

[Cody Garrett]

Brussels have a Game Boy camera. You remember those?

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, I saw that. You showed me that in your office.

[Cody Garrett]

I might bring it on tour to take pictures for the Game Boy camera.

[Fat Electrician]

That's.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's got like 3 megapixels.

[Cody Garrett]

Oh, it's awful.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh yeah, dog, you look like.

[Fat Electrician]

I don't think that's mega Minecraft. That is 100. Not me.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, no, it's like a hundred kilo.

[Cody Garrett]

Yeah, just pixels.

[Fat Electrician]

That is a Game Boy.

[Cody Garrett]

But I found a way to connect it to my computer and I can download all my Game Boy camera images onto my computer and just like share them on Instagram and stuff. It's really cool.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's kind of a neat retro thing. I dig it.

[Cody Garrett]

Yeah, I might bring it on tour, do it so I can snap pictures with my game camera. The pictures are so dog shit. They're so bad. If there's any dim lighting whatsoever, it just doesn't work.

[Fat Electrician]

I like it.

[Eli Double Tap]

How many?

[Fat Electrician]

It's 128 pixels by 128 pixels. Yeah, there's no MOS sensor, so it can store 128 by 112 grayscale digital image using a four color palette of the Game Boy. So you're looking at literally like 128kb pictures. Not near even a megabyte.

[Brandon Herrera]

So. Oh my God, you just threw me all the way back. You know the first video I ever made, like not even for YouTube, it was before YouTube existed, was on a. Because I was. I've always been interested in just making video stuff. It was on a one of those like fucking Walmart. I think this was like a Christmas present or something from like one of my uncles. Like God got thrown back like 20 years here. It was one of the like the stick things that you hold, but it had like a little camera at the top, like the plastic ones. It was American Idol labeled like after the first season or whatever where you just had like a little trigger up front and it was like dog shit quality video. I started first started editing video with one of those. I know what you're talking about. I can't remember the name of them though. Is it a flip? No, it was just like it looks like a joystick with a camera pointing out the front of it and the camera was like that fucking big.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

And it's blue. Yeah.

[Cody Garrett]

What's it called? The Digital Blue.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, was it?

[Cody Garrett]

I don't know. I did a commercial for them on Nickelodeon when I was 13.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, let me look. Also. We really have to talk about that. Yes, it is. That was exactly what that was.

[Eli Double Tap]

How did that come about?

[Brandon Herrera]

Holy.

[Cody Garrett]

My mom wanted me to do commercials and stuff and she put me into all these.

[Brandon Herrera]

I would have never found that thing.

[Eli Double Tap]

You were bred.

[Brandon Herrera]

That is exactly what it was.

[Cody Garrett]

Commercial for that on Nickelodeon. I was the kid holding the camera in Nickelodeon.

[Fat Electrician]

Wait, what?

[Cody Garrett]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

[Eli Double Tap]

[Cody Garrett]

[Fat Electrician]

Wait, you.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, we're gonna find it now.

[Fat Electrician]

How much did they pay your mom?

[Cody Garrett]

I guess like 5, 600 bucks, something.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like that, you know, $500 bounty for the first person who can find the Cody Garrett original Digital Blue commercial. It was like 13 first person.

[Fat Electrician]

I've got a three week head start on you. What the fuck? How is that never. Well, it's so random that you. That is also just found this out. Two bit photography. It's two bit. Two bit. Two bit.

[Cody Garrett]

What? The Biscuit was really cool then. Okay. New Cody Lord just dropped.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. With his hit single break Crap update the Wikipedia page.

[Eli Double Tap]

Got start to fame Nickelodeon commercials.

[Brandon Herrera]

So I for you've told me about that years ago. But you didn't tell me it was that specific commercial. You just told me you did like a couple.

[Cody Garrett]

You had a digital.

[Brandon Herrera]

I had a digital. That was where I started in like filmmaking or whatever. That is weird synchronicity. We're just you. We've known these guys, we've known each other forever and we're like hang around each other all the time and we still find weird like that where it.

[Fat Electrician]

I just like the general reaction of.

[Brandon Herrera]

The video.

[Fat Electrician]

[Brandon Herrera]

You. I found him first. You owe me 500.

[Fat Electrician]

The audience is so excited. It's already gone. Play the footage back.

[Eli Double Tap]

You're my reaction first.

[Brandon Herrera]

Cuz I saw Cody first. I'm watching it right now. Yeah. Oh, it's holy. Yeah. Oh my. How about an AK deal? Hold on. That reminds me.

[Fat Electrician]

What the fuck?

[Brandon Herrera]

That's wild though. How did I. How did that come to be?

[Cody Garrett]

My mom wanted me to like do commercials and stuff and she would take me to these little interviews in Atlanta and so I did like a commercial for the Boys and Girls club. I did Digital Blue. I did a bunch of Nickelodeon stuff. Stuff. Longhorn Steakhouse. Just like I'm the happy kid in the family eating a burger like that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh my God.

[Fat Electrician]

I did not know India Mama Donut.

[Eli Double Tap]

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Jesus.

[Fat Electrician]

She wants to start me young.

[Brandon Herrera]

Damn. Damn. Trout. That was fast. Yeah. Thank you. Brandon.

[Fat Electrician]

You were so quick with giving me.

[Brandon Herrera]

This AK47 which is confirmation that you.

[Fat Electrician]

Admit I saw Cody before you did.

[Brandon Herrera]

Which I still contest to this day. But that's also like a lot of the Modern Yugoslavian lore.

[Eli Double Tap]

So you got an AK before I did. I really don't regret not hugging you.

[Brandon Herrera]

I didn't know you were coming into town this early. I. I saw Cody first. In my defense.

[Fat Electrician]

How many commercials were you in?

[Cody Garrett]

Like six or seven.

[Fat Electrician]

What?

[Eli Double Tap]

What else?

[Fat Electrician]

Everyone go find these Longhorn Digital Blue.

[Brandon Herrera]

These are like collecting the Infinity Stones.

[Fat Electrician]

I know. I want to see all of these.

[Cody Garrett]

I don't think a lot of them are up anymore, man. It was.

[Fat Electrician]

I guarantee the Internet will find it.

[Eli Double Tap]

He's not saying. Because they had to have been embarrassing products.

[Brandon Herrera]

To be fair. That. That Digital Blue commercial. Lame as 269views.

[Cody Garrett]

Well, now it's going to have a couple thousand.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, it was uploaded four months ago too, which is weird.

[Fat Electrician]

Really?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Also I just typed first on the comments. All you guys.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh my God. Is that. Donut operator.

[Brandon Herrera]

Holy admin's here.

[Cody Garrett]

Dude.

[Fat Electrician]

What the. Cody. How did I never know that?

[Cody Garrett]

I forget. I don't know, man.

[Fat Electrician]

God damn.

[Brandon Herrera]

Too many good nights to remember, man.

[Cody Garrett]

Too many good nights to remember.

[Fat Electrician]

That's. That's the truth. That's just a wild child to me on set.

[Cody Garrett]

She always wanted me doing video stuff when I was little. And I just started doing that shit because she kept taking me to the interview. Shoes.

[Fat Electrician]

That's dope. I would have been way too embarrassed. And Chai and a young age. Dude.

[Cody Garrett]

I tried to dance when I was like 13. You see me? I'm like gay, dude.

[Fat Electrician]

Yo, what's up?

[Brandon Herrera]

Did you get to meet. Did you get to meet Dan Schneider? We're not. I was in a couple.

[Fat Electrician]

Dan.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was in a couple flip flop commercials. How many pictures?

[Cody Garrett]

This is weird. Uncle Dan, stop.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, no.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, trauma. What was your favorite gift you got.

[Eli Double Tap]

For Christmas as a kid?

[Fat Electrician]

Oh yeah, I know the one I didn't get that I was super disappointed in. The one I got. I was disappointed was the. I don't even remember the train. It was a. I had so many trains growing up.

[Brandon Herrera]

Great way to lead that.

[Fat Electrician]

I know. I had so many trains growing up. Yep. And never square wheels. I never thought about this until recently. I would put like. I would stack carts and I would. I would build a. A bridge for my train. But I'd have enough carts so it couldn't. It would struggle to make it up. And I'd crank up the speed so it shoot sparks until climb over.

[Brandon Herrera]

Was it one of those like og like the track racer?

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, yeah. Like, no. Like I had like. It was an actual train. Like the tracks and the like turn.

[Brandon Herrera]

The Little copy thing that.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

And you run the city.

[Fat Electrician]

No, not like tracks.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, okay.

[Fat Electrician]

Like train. Like a trains.

[Brandon Herrera]

Where'd the sparks come from?

[Fat Electrician]

From the wheels there. It's elect. So that track had like a little.

[Eli Double Tap]

Metal brush that had to touch the track for power. Those ones?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. That's what I was asking. Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

This is not a brush like the OG ones. I forget how they were operated. It was like either the wheels or something would touch the. The track itself, and that's how it got the energy to move. And you just have a dial, and you turn the dial up. It struggled to get over there. But there was the ones with the. Like your RC cars. You know, the. So there was one that had a.

[Brandon Herrera]

I can still smell those.

[Fat Electrician]

Yes.

[Cody Garrett]

Right.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like, we probably shouldn't have been able to smell that.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, the burning copper, like the conductivity.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's just burnt ozone. That's fine.

[Fat Electrician]

But there was a train that would do a flip, and there was a missing section, and the train would go. And it would land on the other side and go through it. My dad's all I wanted for Christmas, and I did not get it. And then I did. They got me nunchucks instead. And I did hit my brother in the face.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's why instead of being an engineer, you ended up being an 11. Bravo.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. It's like Michelangelo and I whacked my brother in the face. Oh, yeah. These were real ones. I was 5 years old and I hit my brother in the face of those motherfuckers.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's why he has 15.

[Fat Electrician]

But yeah, they were like, no, the. They were trying to explain to a five year old Eli, like, it doesn't work. Like, it would never make the loop. It just wrecks every time. I was still heartbroken that I didn't get my train.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's my favorite part about the Ninja Turtles lore.

[Fat Electrician]

Michelangelo, the.

[Eli Double Tap]

The weapon choices.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, it was for their.

[Eli Double Tap]

How their personality. Their worst. The. Like, the worst part of their personalities is reflected back at them. Have you heard this? This? So, like, who's. Who's the one with the. The size, the. The block? Raphael. He's got anger pro. He's the red.

[Brandon Herrera]

Red.

[Eli Double Tap]

He's the one with the anger problems. He's got like, the blunt dagger things. So those are like, exclusively a defensive weapon. So it's like, oh, you're angry all the time. Here. Play defense. Nerd.

[Fat Electrician]

Yep, you're super aggressive. And then like, Donatello is the staff.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, Donatello is a staff. That's my favorite one. But the Raphael's And I'm chucks. He's like the 80s Michael Michelangelo. He's got the nunchucks. He's like the ADHD one. When nunchucks require the most focus to be able to master. And then Donna Leonardo Leonardo. I don't know. My ninja rolls right now. I'm drunk.

[Brandon Herrera]

So the little rat guy is just a troll?

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, basically. And like, the. The computer nerd, the super smart one, he's like, oh, oh, you're. You're really smart. Here's a stick for your weapon nerd like you.

[Fat Electrician]

I know.

[Brandon Herrera]

So I almost called him Master Chief Fu Panda.

[Cody Garrett]

Master Splinter.

[Brandon Herrera]

Thank you, Master Shifu.

[Cody Garrett]

Speaking of, that was my favorite gift I got as a kid was the Ninja Turtles pizza car shooter.

[Brandon Herrera]

Dude.

[Fat Electrician]

You got one of those.

[Cody Garrett]

The little discs that went into it. They were pizzas. And it would. Yeah, it would shoot them out.

[Fat Electrician]

The band.

[Cody Garrett]

You could put. Yeah, yeah. You could put all your Ninja Turtle figures on it, and they'd drive it around and it would shoot little pizzas out of it.

[Fat Electrician]

Dude, our action figures sucked. When you look back out, I'm like, no, they can't move anything. The he, man.

[Eli Double Tap]

You want to know the most? The most disappointing part about being a parent in 2024? Happy Meal toys. Now, have you seen a Happy Meal toy toy lately?

[Cody Garrett]

They're pretty.

[Brandon Herrera]

If you have.

[Eli Double Tap]

They're horrible.

[Brandon Herrera]

I mean, self report.

[Eli Double Tap]

I mean, if you have kids, like, there's nothing. Like when I had Happy Meal toys when I was a kid, it was like, oh, here's a plastic thing of French fries from McDonald's. It turns into a periscope. So I can spy on people. Yeah.

[Cody Garrett]

McDonald's meals.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like, all the cool. Like, whenever there's a new Disney movie.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. They always do the movie promos.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. Now the d. Like, the Happy Meal toys are literally cardboard that comes on a printed sheet, and you have to, like, knock it out and assemble it, and it's like a top or. It's horrible. All the Happy Meal toys suck. Now.

[Fat Electrician]

They're like the. Just cheap Chinese or it's like a.

[Eli Double Tap]

Little tiny, like, stuffed animal. Something lame doesn't do anything. It's horrible, bro.

[Cody Garrett]

They're expensive on ebay. I went back and looked at the Transformers recently that would, you know, like, you're saying that you could fry spy equipment.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Cody Garrett]

They're expensive, man.

[Eli Double Tap]

Are they really?

[Cody Garrett]

Yeah, some of them are.

[Brandon Herrera]

I remember they did the prono promo with, like, beanie babies and, like, they used to do promos, like, big companies and stuff, make Growing up in the 90s was peak, dude.

[Fat Electrician]

When they would do the Monopoly.

[Cody Garrett]

Oh, the Monopoly game, bro.

[Fat Electrician]

I don't know. That whole lore that happened with that, like, the Monopoly.

[Brandon Herrera]

What's the lore?

[Fat Electrician]

You remember you could win a million dollars or however much they do it every year. A dude at the facility was stealing the Park Place. One or the other. The expensive ones.

[Cody Garrett]

Broadway? Yeah, Boardwalk, Park Place.

[Fat Electrician]

So he was nabbing him. They had them in a special room, and they gave him access to it. So he would just ship those to.

[Brandon Herrera]

Clearly stole it.

[Fat Electrician]

No, because he would give them out. He would send it to people. He'd be like, hey, I will split this with you. You just turn it in so people would win it. Turn it in. He would get half. And he did that for years.

[Brandon Herrera]

Years.

[Cody Garrett]

Because he did that for, like, almost a decade.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. And he made, like, 7 million.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, my God. Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

This was like a criminal ring that found. And it wasn't until what after.

[Brandon Herrera]

Criminal ring, dude.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, dude, but seven mil, dude walked away with seven million fucking dollars.

[Brandon Herrera]

What are you in for? Murder. You stole park place lots from McDonald's.

[Fat Electrician]

And I forget what. There is an actual.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was like an armed robbery.

[Fat Electrician]

No, no, just stealing Park Place and Boardwalk a lot of times.

[Brandon Herrera]

Played Monopoly too hard. Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

It was a family. And he had, like, his uncle. It was first, like, immediate, then just close friends. And he just kept that.

[Cody Garrett]

Why?

[Brandon Herrera]

They found it where they were just like, oh, all these people are related to an employee.

[Fat Electrician]

And they're like, huh, this is what a.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's actually that you'd expect that from a McDonald's employee.

[Fat Electrician]

Actually, Nick, imagine doing it one time, though. Like, you do it one time. You got away. You blow, like.

[Brandon Herrera]

Cool.

[Fat Electrician]

Good. Okay, good. ST Is like, let's do it.

[Cody Garrett]

Where?

[Brandon Herrera]

To the tune of 14 million.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, it's wild. I forgot about that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hell, I. I just remember, like, his. Nick, did. Did you actually. Did you say your favorite gift growing up? Christmas?

[Eli Double Tap]

God, I don't know. I mean, the only thing that comes to mind, and this might be cheating, is piss tube. What?

[Brandon Herrera]

The piss tube.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was just thinking, like, what if we had a piss funnel on camera?

[Fat Electrician]

You know?

[Eli Double Tap]

I mean, like, what if the piss funnel was right behind Connor's chair and I could still, like, be on camera while I was peeing? Like, how great would that be?

[Fat Electrician]

My mouth's right here.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, no. I don't know.

[Fat Electrician]

The only thing Connors are piss tunnel. I don't like that.

[Cody Garrett]

Your dad drilling you a pistol. That's just a little bit like Lower than his. You got your own now, boy.

[Brandon Herrera]

Piss up. Thanks, dad. You're a man now.

[Eli Double Tap]

The only thing that comes to mind is, like, the PS1 and then I got A Bug's Life as my first video game.

[Cody Garrett]

The game pros that would come with the. The discs, the. The demo discs, just like the magazines that would come with the demo. The PlayStation 1.

[Eli Double Tap]

Do you remember cheat code books?

[Brandon Herrera]

We were talking about that the other day.

[Cody Garrett]

Yeah, get them at the book fair, dude.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. Nintendo Power. Oh, man, I forget all of them.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, gamer game, pro game.

[Cody Garrett]

Like the biggest one. Game pro.

[Brandon Herrera]

Tips and tricks.

[Eli Double Tap]

Tips and tricks and tricks.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, that's the one, man.

[Brandon Herrera]

Finding out where to find all the, like, the skulls in Halo.

[Cody Garrett]

Like, bro, I saw the saddest meme the other day. It was like you never knew when you walked into Blockbuster it would be the last time you rent from Blockbuster.

[Fat Electrician]

Do we? That's the one I would love. I hate to go to Portland or Oregon, but I would love for us to go visit, revisit the last remaining.

[Brandon Herrera]

Blockbuster that'd be cool with Retro coming back. I feel like you could, like, do that as a gimmick.

[Eli Double Tap]

I don't know if I should say this right now because I don't know if I can pull it off in time.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, I know.

[Eli Double Tap]

I've been working on a Fat Files video, so I was doing. Because I do, like, business breakdowns, right? Like, you know, red box where it's like a dollar, you rent a DVD. They didn't go out of business till, like, late 2022 or 2023, which is pretty fucking impressive for a DVD still around.

[Cody Garrett]

There's one in CVS. There's one at CVS by my house.

[Eli Double Tap]

There's a box there. It's not functional. Okay. They went bankrupt a year and a half ago. And now when I was doing research for this, they went bankrupt. And it's like a big thing because they had over 48,000 locations all over the country. And they were just like paying Walgreens or cvs, whoever, like, rent, like, oh, let me use your electricity and park this out in front of your store. They went bankrupt. And they basically just sent everybody an email like, hey, we're out of business. This somebody will be by to pick that up eventually. And then nobody's coming to pick them up because, like, the logistical feat of collecting basically what amounts to 48, 000 refrigerators from all over the country, like, I don't have money to do that. That's millions of dollars.

[Brandon Herrera]

Is that why you're like, is that why Jake sent that to the group chat the other day?

[Fat Electrician]

Yep.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, okay.

[Eli Double Tap]

And yeah, that's why he's like, nick, I found one. So you can just go up to CVS or Walgreens or whatever, because they just unplugged them. And you'd be like, hey, that's classified as abandoned property. They went bankrupt. They're never coming to get it. And legally, if you tell me, as a property owner, I can have it. I can just take that.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm stealing.

[Eli Double Tap]

People are doing.

[Cody Garrett]

I know where one is right now.

[Eli Double Tap]

So for my. For my Fat Files video, I've already. I've called like eight places and they're.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like four week head start.

[Fat Electrician]

Hey, I just picture the next episode. One is in the background. Want to do it? So I just make sure immediately the next episode, we have one in the corner.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm pretty sure my local CBS has one.

[Eli Double Tap]

We can do this for the gang does. And then we can go and pay to have vinyl skins made to make it a pepper box. Oh, it's going to be fucking awesome.

[Fat Electrician]

I love that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, man.

[Eli Double Tap]

The funniest part is if I'm there, I get to be like, I'm a licensed electrician. I can actually disconnect that properly and make it safe. And I'll do it for free if you let me have it. And they're gonna be like, yes.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, dude, they would hands down, get rid of some giant piece of dusty.

[Eli Double Tap]

Fridge sitting on front of your store for two years that nobody's been able to use.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

I just want to go get a red box.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yes.

[Cody Garrett]

I want exactly where one is. We can put it in my garage right now.

[Brandon Herrera]

I want nothing more than that.

[Fat Electrician]

You're gonna see it in the background. That's our Christmas.

[Eli Double Tap]

The gang does it builds up.

[Cody Garrett]

How do you fucking room?

[Brandon Herrera]

How do you find this dude?

[Eli Double Tap]

I don't. It's my job. Literally my job.

[Fat Electrician]

I just love is gonna be in the background.

[Cody Garrett]

We're gonna move show free red boxes for unsub fans.

[Brandon Herrera]

We asterisk.

[Cody Garrett]

You know, your grandmother would love that in her garage.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's gonna be our generation's like 1940s Pepsi dispenser.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Cigarette vending machines.

[Fat Electrician]

I love that. They were supposed to close block, but they Blockbuster turned buying them. Wait, no, they Netflix. Yeah, Netflix and then.

[Brandon Herrera]

Or Blockbuster turned around buying Netflix.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, that's it. Yeah, that was the one. Not red. Red box. Whatever. Red box. Fucking crushed. For years, though.

[Eli Double Tap]

For years it was awesome.

[Fat Electrician]

And then it really died I was thinking about that the other day with TV shows, how we just stream. Back in the day, you had, like, no schedule. Like, you had no idea what was going to be on tv. You're just, like, flipping through channels. Whether that's.

[Brandon Herrera]

You had, like, a physical book, like the channel, the TV guide was like.

[Fat Electrician]

Dude, there's nothing on. I want to watch. And it literally, like, that was it. There was no, guess I'll hang out.

[Cody Garrett]

With my kids or something.

[Fat Electrician]

That's why my dad works. I was like, oh, well, I think that, that, that, that.

[Eli Double Tap]

Bet we gotta go steal a red box.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, we're gonna go steal one.

[Cody Garrett]

We got something to do tonight before a live tour.

[Eli Double Tap]

We're gonna steal a red box in every city we go to and bring it to the live show and leave it and not tell them.

[Brandon Herrera]

It'S in the green room.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's part of the bit. We just leave it on stage. We're gone. Let them deal with it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Did the green. Did the green room always have a red box in the corner?

[Fat Electrician]

Some of those small green.

[Brandon Herrera]

Even smaller. One square foot smaller.

[Fat Electrician]

Where did this. That would leave so many people confused. We act like we don't know what it is. What do we do with it?

[Eli Double Tap]

I thought this is your guys's.

[Cody Garrett]

We're telling these ancient, amazing theaters. We.

[Brandon Herrera]

We don't know. We put it on the writer. We need this, this, this, this, and a dolly.

[Eli Double Tap]

The funny part is, if we put this video out soon enough, I bet the audience will bring a red box for us.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, God.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, God. Well, it's going to be for unsub showed up.

[Eli Double Tap]

Now there's 20 red boxes in our parking lot.

[Fat Electrician]

Why was it with them people in line just waiting with a dolly in a red box? The guys asked for it.

[Brandon Herrera]

If there's not. If there's not one in the Vegas live show, I will be disappointed.

[Fat Electrician]

They wheel it into the nation, bro.

[Brandon Herrera]

You know security is not going to stop a man wheeling in a red box.

[Fat Electrician]

He's on a mission.

[Cody Garrett]

A lot of casinos don't stop a man wheeling in 47 machine guns. So we can bring a red box gun.

[Brandon Herrera]

God, do I hate country music.

[Fat Electrician]

That meme where Gucci music starts playing. The red glowy eyes.

[Cody Garrett]

I don't know. On that note, he likes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Dude, that was when Cody talks, man. What did the piece of paper on his nightstand say? Why won't they release that to the public? I don't know. No one knows.

[Fat Electrician]

It's crazy.

[Brandon Herrera]

But please release that. Oh, my God.

[Cody Garrett]

Wow.

[Fat Electrician]

Closes out Sweet prince.

[Cody Garrett]

Red boxes. The government doesn't want you to know you have 47 red boxes. The red box at the Walgreens is free.

[Brandon Herrera]

You just take it. 472 red boxes.

[Fat Electrician]

These red boxes disappearing soon.

[Cody Garrett]

We gotta do a live show tomorrow. I'm pretty sure all of us got a pack for it, too.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah.
