The episode delves into a myriad of topics ranging from chaotic travel experiences and unexpected run-ins with law enforcement to humorous anecdotes about gun shooting projects and the intriguing history of Coca-Cola.

1. Travel Hiccups and the Rental Car Saga

The episode kicks off with Brandon Herrera recounting a series of unfortunate travel delays that set the tone for the chaotic events to follow. Initially flying from Des Moines to San Antonio, the group faced rescheduled flights that jeopardized their plans to purchase a classic 1967 Cougar for future content.

[05:07] Brandon Herrera: "We flew you down for that."

As the flight was pushed to the following day, Brandon panicked about the high cost of rental cars.

[05:39] Cody: "Because we were just there for demos. Demo's retirement episode in that drive tanks."

Brandon's frantic search on Marketplace led to the purchase of a 2001 Chevy Tahoe for $2,500, a decision made moments before landing.

[05:58] Donut Operator: "I don't think the plane happened 7.99 on Wi Fi."

2. Unexpected Encounters with Texas Law Enforcement

Upon arriving in Texas without proper temporary tags on their newly acquired Tahoe, the group encountered serious issues with local law enforcement. Brandon describes the tense interaction where a police officer scrutinized their vehicle, leading to fears of impoundment.

[06:44] Brandon Herrera: "So we get on the dust on the back window, and I write temp tag. The Iowa."

Despite Brandon's attempts to explain their situation, the encounter nearly resulted in their car being impounded.

[12:19] Brandon Herrera: "So we get on the dust on the back window, and I write temp tag. The Iowa."

This incident highlights the group's ongoing struggles with navigating unfamiliar regulations in different states.

[10:37] Brandon Herrera: "I actually work at McDonald's now."

They discuss the challenges of filming high-stakes content while maintaining safety and managing equipment failures.

[131:02] Brandon Herrera: "So we landed in Dallas and bought a Tahoe for 2,100 bucks and driven it all over hell. It's been perfect. Except for when we got pulled over today."

4. The Intriguing History of Coca-Cola and Its Cultural Impact

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to a deep dive into Coca-Cola's historical ties to shaping modern cultural icons like Santa Claus. The hosts explore the company's origins, including its inadvertent creation of Santa's widely recognized image.

[89:11] Donut Operator: "Coca Cola was invented by a Confederate colonel that got a saber wound in the Civil War."

[93:42] Brandon Herrera: "Coca Cola was the biggest psyop of all time."

5. Bush Light Beer’s Popularity in Iowa

[113:35] Cody: "You had really good ambassadors though. Like John."

[55:18] Junkyard Digs: "You do."

7. Deployment Story and Prank Gone Wrong

Brandon Herrera recounts a memorable deployment experience in Iraq, where the group orchestrated a prank involving schoolchildren's drawings. Their intent was to inject humor into an otherwise monotonous deployment shift, but the prank inadvertently escalated, causing concern among their superiors.

[74:31] Brandon Herrera: "That's what I did in the army."

The incident illustrates the fine line between camaraderie and professional responsibility in high-stress environments.

[84:56] Brandon Herrera: "And, like, we explain it or he explains it and he's got."

8. YouTube Challenges and Content Creation

The hosts discuss the evolving landscape of YouTube, addressing challenges such as strict content regulations and the need to adapt their shooting content accordingly. They share strategies for maintaining their channel's integrity while navigating platform policies.

[101:58] Donut Operator: "Apparently, if you say that, you're demonetized."

[Cody]

How did it end? I don't remember. I got a little woozy and then.

[Donut Operator]

So all the gifts were changed.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was putting in tile suddenly.

[Junkyard Digs]

He's not on camera. Walking camera.

[Brandon Herrera]

Real quick. I think this is over there too. Technically. Yeah, that's the one.

[Junkyard Digs]

Okay, now.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. So here we were, right? We're flying down from Des Moines to San Antonio, preferably.

[Eli Double Tap]

And why were you coming here?

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, for this.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, to hang out with us.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Well, we're buying a 67 Cougar to drive it home for a different an episode on our own channel. And we told that guy to wait a couple months because we were planning on coming down here to do this. And announced the genkart Diggs is now on Pepper Box and stuff like that. So all works out until we try to come here. And airlines goes, yeah, no, your flight's been pushed to tomorrow at 4, which doesn't work. Which is like. Yeah. After everything. Yeah.

[Cody]

Because we were just there for demos. Demo's retirement episode in that drive tanks. So you would have missed all of them.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yep. Would have missed the whole thing. Best we could do is get to Dallas at 10 o'clock. Yeah. Like 10:30. And as we're taxing out to. And I. I didn't. They never.

[Donut Operator]

Just for the record, Dallas is like six hours from San Antonio.

[Brandon Herrera]

4Ish. No, no, no. From drive tanks, it's six hours.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, sorry. From drive tanks, it's 6 hours.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Which was a problem.

[Brandon Herrera]

So we're looking at rental cars because we don't know what time we're going to land. We don't know if any rental companies are going to be open. And we're in panic mode. And it's like, I think the job's gonna be closed by the time we get there. The one company that we can get that gives us a car, One direction to use for like four days while we're doing this 67 Cougar. It's like $1,200 for a Kia. Holy shit. And I said, screw that. So I hopped on Marketplace in a panic, set it to Dallas, and immediately a 2001 Chevy Tahoe popped up for 2,500 bucks. Hell yeah. And this is while the plane is going onto the Runway. I'm texting this guy frantically, like, hey, I'll give you 2,500 cash. Meet me at the airport at 10:00. And he's rightfully like, I think this is a scam. This doesn't seem real, like, fair. I swear. He's like, okay. I'm like, I'm leaving the ground. Please be there. And we land and the dude's there. And he meets the baggage claim. He's like, yeah, hold on.

[Fat Electrician]

What a champ.

[Donut Operator]

Why couldn't you just message him on onboard WI fi?

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm too cheap to do that.

[Donut Operator]

I don't think the plane happened 7.99 on Wi Fi.

[Brandon Herrera]

You can go back further. I don' Buy an airline expensive enough to have WI Fi.

[Cody]

He's like, positioning his starlink toward the the window. I can't do an aisle seat.

[Junkyard Digs]

Nick. What did I fly you in?

[Donut Operator]

Sun Country.

[Junkyard Digs]

Have you heard of them? Great ticket prices.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, it's American. But this probably about no WI fi. I don't know. I don't know if you ever been to Des Moines Airport. It's about the size of this house.

[Fat Electrician]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

There's a four, eight terminals.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

It is eight minutes through security from the second you're out of the car to you're at your terminals. Like eight minutes and you're there with like 108 other people.

[Fat Electrician]

Like maybe that's pushing it.

[Cody]

We're out.

[Brandon Herrera]

Not a lot of options out of midwesterners. So we meet this guy. Oh, it's to get through security minutes. We went through it twice. Nice. Because we went through it and then we had to go all the way back up to the front. And we got flagged both times because I had a pack of stickers in the camera bag and the guy's like, yeah, that's definitely a Huck. A C4 or basically a gun.

[Eli Double Tap]

I wish. You know.

[Brandon Herrera]

And we had stickers. Yeah, just the round stickers in like that. And maybe a 10 inch rubber pool toy in case we found a pool. Oh, that's probably the one they got us for first, but that's what's cool.

[Eli Double Tap]

They never flagged my submachine gun.

[Brandon Herrera]

What's just fun toy look like a torpedo, you know.

[Fat Electrician]

Does it have balls too or.

[Brandon Herrera]

No. No fins.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, okay.

[Eli Double Tap]

Nothing like what's on our fridge right now.

[Cody]

No, not the fridge.

[Eli Double Tap]

Handled.

[Brandon Herrera]

Anyway, we get. We land.

[Fat Electrician]

There we go.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Not quite like that. No, see, that wouldn't go through the water very well.

[Cody]

We probably have to now.

[Donut Operator]

We can open the fridge.

[Fat Electrician]

Some handle got rid of that.

[Eli Double Tap]

We got to get the fridge open.

[Cody]

Connor almost caught that with his mouth.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, that was very close.

[Junkyard Digs]

Almost.

[Brandon Herrera]

So we landed.

[Cody]

[Junkyard Digs]

Behold.

[Brandon Herrera]

We let him go. He's here on camera. Drop it.

[Junkyard Digs]

[Donut Operator]

[Cody]

I explain that. I explain that trick to somebody. So sorry.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, go ahead.

[Cody]

I. I explained that trick to somebody the other day and they did not find it as funny as we did.

[Eli Double Tap]

With a red rocket truck.

[Fat Electrician]

What are you talking about?

[Eli Double Tap]

Show me your penis trick.

[Brandon Herrera]

Bose trick.

[Cody]

Yeah, Bose trick.

[Fat Electrician]

On cue B. Do that.

[Junkyard Digs]

The command is show me your penis.

[Cody]

And he rolls on his back and shows you his dick. Yeah, it's Basically everybody.

[Junkyard Digs]

I don't know. Sh's brother looks disturbed.

[Donut Operator]

That was one of those.

[Brandon Herrera]

How. How long does this go? When can we leave? Yeah. So we landed in Dallas and bought a Tahoe for 2,100 bucks and driven it all over hell. It's been perfect. Except for when we got pulled over today.

[Donut Operator]

What'd you name it?

[Fat Electrician]

You did get pulled over.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, El jefe stands for the Jeff. Come again?

[Junkyard Digs]

As a matter of fact.

[Donut Operator]

Pulled over. Go. Because we saw you get pulled over.

[Brandon Herrera]

On the way here. Yeah. Do you have footage of that, by the way?

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, I do. It was hilarious. Jamie, bring it up past him, right? We passed him, and as soon as I, like, seen the cop and then I looked down to see you, and without a license plate, he creeped out. I'm like, that's you.

[Brandon Herrera]

We're up there. We got our ear bloods in because it's got no air conditioning. So we got the windows down. We're doing like, 75. We see the guy come out. We're just. We just start taking stuff off, pulling papers out, like. Yep. He's not even off the shoulder yet. Like, this is us. He's getting lights.

[Eli Double Tap]

Was that a new body?

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was about to say they don't.

[Fat Electrician]

Worry about an hour from here, maybe.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hour, hour from here. It's like, right in the middle of some tiny town.

[Donut Operator]

Right in the middle.

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yesterday, he's. It's like, you know, I pulled you over and I was like, yep, no license plate. We're from Iowa. You know, we're our. Our laws are different where we don't have temp tags or anything. And he's like, well, you gotta have a temp tag here. And I asked him like, well, what's the. What's the law for temp tags? I don't know. Okay. Well, my law is that I follow when I go home. Right. Like this. So here's all my favorites.

[Eli Double Tap]

Sir, I believe we're at an.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'll look it up. You go run my car.

[Cody]

I will say, being in Texas, your odds of being released in that sort of traffic stop really went up. When you have red hair.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yep. Yeah, that's a common misconception.

[Fat Electrician]

So tell them what you did with the tags, though, instead of actually having the tag.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, no, that's the worst part is, like, usually you get a temp tag. Like, this is the thing in Wisconsin, as we learned, which explains why we get pulled over Wisconsin so much. It just took seven traffic stops for a cop to explain it properly. You get a Big piece of paper that you put in the back window that's got, like, the 10 digit, and it says temporary pass. And big, black, white letters, easy to read. Texas has attempt pass system. It's free for five days. You don't have to show ownership. And this is what you get, which.

[Fat Electrician]

Is put that in your window.

[Donut Operator]

Sheet of paper with some size 11 font.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't know. Do we need to hold this up somewhere?

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah, text it to me, and I'll text it to.

[Brandon Herrera]

There is personal information on it, so.

[Junkyard Digs]

Keep that on there.

[Fat Electrician]

I was talking about what you did.

[Junkyard Digs]

Everything but his.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, just leave the address. What were you saying, though? Oh, yeah. No. So, yeah, I print that out. I'm not gonna. This is just gonna hold over just as much. So we get on the dust on the back window, and I write temp tag. The Iowa.

[Eli Double Tap]

Thank Christ it wasn't female officer. She would have just shot you.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, you would have been better.

[Junkyard Digs]

Cody chose violence today.

[Cody]

Are you okay at home?

[Brandon Herrera]

I thought they had such a good deal on this Tahoe, and then they died.

[Donut Operator]

Speaking of Cody and cops.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Cody]

Oh, boy.

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh, my God.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, I forgot about that drunk Cody Outwit a new trainee cop. Was hilarious.

[Eli Double Tap]

Don't say the city, though. Let's not say this.

[Donut Operator]

We won't say the city. We'll say the state.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, it was funny.

[Donut Operator]

New Hampshire.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, that was a fun time. We went to a bar with Kevin. We. This, right? We can talk about this.

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah.

[Cody]

You didn't do anything wrong.

[Junkyard Digs]

I got a DM about it the next day.

[Fat Electrician]

Really?

[Eli Double Tap]

I met this dude. He invented. He invented the 300 blackout round, the Honey badger, the boombox, the fix. Really great guy. His name's Kevin Schmittingham. The Booper Bike birders, The Boober bike group.

[Cody]

So Bevan Brittingham.

[Junkyard Digs]

Weapon system.

[Eli Double Tap]

We went to a bar with our friend, and as soon as we walk in, like, in big chalk on the wall, it was like, nazis are bad. It's like, yeah, we. We understand that. Yeah.

[Cody]

Why do you feel the need to tell us?

[Eli Double Tap]

And we're in there, we're just calm, talking to each other. Like, I'm talking to Eli, we're talking to Kevin, talking to Nick. Everyone's just, like, chilling. And she's like, you're cut off. You're cut off, and you're cut off.

[Fat Electrician]

I think she was super hostile as soon as we walked in there, though. Like, she was not impressed that a group of people, like, she had to work that night. She was not happy about it.

[Cody]

She was not happy about all of us.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

The job that she's paid to do, she was really not happy about that.

[Cody]

That was a recurring theme in New England, actually.

[Donut Operator]

They said later, they're like, oh, that's a. That's a locals bar. So, like, you're like, I guess they just treat you like shit unless they can tell you're not.

[Cody]

From there, it felt like Rambo. First blood.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Cody]

Keep moving to the end of town, buddy.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. But Connor, in classic fashion, goes out to smoke a cigarette. And I'm like, oh, I'm just gonna go out front and talk to Connor real quick.

[Cody]

After we closed out, after we closed.

[Eli Double Tap]

Down, left a generous tip. Even after they talk, they. They treated us a little unfairly, you know, whatever. Walk outside with Connor. And then she follows me out and she's like, you can't have that beer out there out here. And she pushes me, and then she swats at my beer. I'm like, you're too fat.

[Junkyard Digs]

Ultra instinct.

[Donut Operator]

Outside wasn't, like, out on the sidewalk.

[Fat Electrician]

It was like a patio.

[Donut Operator]

Patio with, like, tables and an awning and shit. Like, it wasn't like you were in public still. It's still private property with seating.

[Cody]

But she sprinted at you. She went, no. And ran at you faster than I've ever seen someone that big run.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, I can't hear you. You're a. You're a hog female. That would look bad on camera. And so she swats at me, and I'm like, no. Like, I'll put it down. If you want me to put it down, I'll throw it away. And then she swats at me again.

[Cody]

I'm like, no, you're, like, juking her.

[Junkyard Digs]

Hey, Brandon.

[Cody]

Yes, Eli?

[Junkyard Digs]

When you think of businesses that are just crushing it. Bonker. Unsub. What's the first thing to enter your mind?

[Cody]

That's easy, Eli. A good child labor law attorney, huh, Eli? I said Shopify. What did you hear?

[Junkyard Digs]

Actually, it was the overlooked secret behind the business.

[Cody]

Like I said, Shopify.

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh. Which brings us to today's ad, Shopify.

[Cody]

I mean, we use Shopify on a daily basis.

[Junkyard Digs]

That's right. We use Shopify for Bunker, Brandon and.

[Donut Operator]

Unsub, those magical shoes we have where they're linked through Shopify to the mythical store Bunker Branding. And because of Shopify, they can communicate.

[Cody]

It's like your mom and your dad on their anniversary night, not yours.

[Donut Operator]

Nobody does selling better than Shopify.

[Cody]

They are home of the number one checkout on the planet with Shopay, which.

[Donut Operator]

Just like the age of all of our factory workers are 50% the age they need to be to be legally employed in the United States.

[Junkyard Digs]

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, she was like, I'm calling the cops. And I was like, all right, cool. Call them. Throw my beer away. Whatever. We get. What, like a block away, the entire police department rolls up on us.

[Cody]

The first one. The first one to show up.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

And it was impressively fast, though.

[Cody]

Well, it's a small town that has, like, zero crime.

[Fat Electrician]

It's a good point.

[Cody]

So it's like they're all bored and they just want to chill there.

[Brandon Herrera]

We got.

[Cody]

We got a call. Like, an actual call.

[Fat Electrician]

Don't. Disturbance.

[Eli Double Tap]

Let's go.

[Donut Operator]

Some kid rolled up at a ROTC on Cody. Immediately, I was asleep.

[Fat Electrician]

At this point, I was also in.

[Donut Operator]

He was in uniform, But I can tell you with 100% certainty, when he's in his normal clothing, he tucks his t shirt into his jeans unironically.

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, we just. We just had a polite conversation and went on our way.

[Donut Operator]

That is not true. Can I tell what I saw, Nick?

[Eli Double Tap]

What did you say?

[Donut Operator]

I got to watch Cody literally outwit the cops in three seconds flat. It was a setup from the beginning. He is like, yeah, we got a call that somebody stole beer. And Cody goes, okay, search me. And, like, lifts up his jacket. Like, this kid is like, you're. You're consenting to be searched. And Cody's like, yep, go for it. He, like, pats Cody down. And Cody's like, did you find any beer? And he goes, well, no. And he goes, cool, I'm leaving. You can't leave yet. I'm conducting an investigation. An investigation for what? Stolen beer? You just decided, I don't have any stolen beer, hot shot. I'm out.

[Cody]

He threatened to throw you in handcuffs to.

[Junkyard Digs]

If you walk away, I'm going to.

[Cody]

Throw you in handcuffs. And we're all like, yo, this is escalating. Hilariously, he did call out.

[Junkyard Digs]

You were like. He was like, I'm going to search you. Like, ask, may I search you for.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's how I've done it right now.

[Fat Electrician]

And then he also works at McDonald's.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, he's my manager.

[Junkyard Digs]

And it was him surrounded by a whole bunch of dudes, and he's. He was, like, patting you down, like, very.

[Cody]

No, he had no backup.

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah, zero.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Cody]

Yeah, he. Yeah, yeah, exactly. The dudes be us.

[Donut Operator]

Cody was recording, surrounded by six of you guys. And Cody's got his phone, and on Cody's phone, you just see him, like, get, like, this close to Cody and bend over, not looking at the other six grown men surrounding him. He was like, what are you doing?

[Cody]

I'm like, you are so lucky there is no crime in this town because you would get killed in the streets.

[Junkyard Digs]

He didn't even notice.

[Cody]

I pointed my gun at the back of the. Oh, that's why this is a conference comedy podcast.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, he just. He obviously didn't police the same place I police because I wouldn't have handled that situation like that. I don't know. I may have had a couple of drinks that night, so I was just arguing with them to be facetious. And it was a good time. It was a really good time.

[Junkyard Digs]

The rest of them showed up, and.

[Cody]

The first thing that the supervisor shows up, and he's just like, so let me guess. You boys aren't from around here. I just hit him immediately. That don't matter.

[Donut Operator]

So you guys were at XYZ Bar, and Brandon's like, we didn't say that you did, but continue. Brandon's in lawyer mode. Cody's in cop mode.

[Cody]

It was a very funny interaction in the background.

[Donut Operator]

I don't talk to cops. Trout had seven cigarettes during this three minute interaction.

[Eli Double Tap]

He's like, you're going in cuffs. I'm like, yeah, cool.

[Cody]

I was like, I'm gonna watch Cody grapple.

[Fat Electrician]

Didn't one of the guys end up knowing you or recognizing you?

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

One of the other cops pulled up and he's like, donut.

[Donut Operator]

Fenn, start recording. Finn's standing there with a full camera.

[Cody]

Rig the entire time, and the footage looks like this.

[Brandon Herrera]

There's only so much stuff.

[Donut Operator]

You guys show up back in the house, we're eating dominoes, and you're like. You're like, I'm not that drunk. Brandon's like, I'm not. I'm not that drunk either. Finn's like, yeah, I'm not drunk at all. And we're all like.

[Fat Electrician]

He was about wasted eight hours prior to that instance, so.

[Junkyard Digs]

And then I get a text. Y'all out in city stop by the police last night? Question mark, explanation point.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, this is the.

[Junkyard Digs]

Definitely curious. If that was y'all.

[Brandon Herrera]

This was the kid.

[Junkyard Digs]

Ah, you seen the guys, I see. Yep.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Junkyard Digs]

I love you.

[Donut Operator]

What's their response?

[Cody]

I didn't know you replied to him.

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh, yeah, 100% shout out to.

[Cody]

We were. We were in the state not to name any names. We were in the state. Yeah, let's bleep that. That. What city does he live in?

[Junkyard Digs]

I mean, I'm. That's a very.

[Cody]

That's a very common name. But, yeah, the. I love. We were in the state for seven hours before getting detained by the police.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, it's pretty impressive. Is that a new record?

[Cody]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, that's pretty good.

[Brandon Herrera]

Your leaderboard of states and times.

[Junkyard Digs]

I can tell you it was at 1:30 at night.

[Donut Operator]

And then Connor. Yes, Connor tweets about how, like, New England sucks because they're like. Like, everybody's just rude to you if you're not from there. And like, he had comments that were like, well, don't expect us to just be nice to you because you're, like, existing in our state and you have to get to know us and be around us for 10 years. I don't wanna.

[Fat Electrician]

The.

[Junkyard Digs]

The airport security, like, TSA was the most polite people in that entire area. And the bartender, that Boston guy.

[Cody]

But I don't think I need to unlock a skill tree to get basic human courtesy, dude.

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh, my God. When they took our drink orders at the one restaurant for food, it's like, walked up. It's like, what you drinking?

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. She was not happy.

[Junkyard Digs]

No. Pissed that we came in.

[Eli Double Tap]

You guys here to eat?

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Cody]

You want drinks or food or something?

[Fat Electrician]

What do you think this is, a restaurant?

[Junkyard Digs]

And then it was, hey, okay, I'll get all your orders. She takes every drink order and remembers two of them. Everyone's like, she must have a photographic memory. No.

[Donut Operator]

Yelling from the bar across the room at us.

[Eli Double Tap]

You know what you want. We got kicked out of the bar. We went back there a second night.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah, we did.

[Cody]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

The hog lady that called the cops on us. We went back there after that wilder beast called the cops on us.

[Fat Electrician]

This is awesome.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, the second I would come in.

[Junkyard Digs]

So many names.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

And it was a dude there the second night, and he's like, one of you. He was like, doing this thing was like, one of you walked out with a beer last night. You're not welcome here.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, yeah, I forgot. We tried to go back in there. They were not impressed. They, like, all huddled around the guy that was behind the counter and, like, I got your back, man.

[Donut Operator]

It was like four twinks telling the bartender they had his back. And I was like, I did it.

[Fat Electrician]

Good luck, all six of you. Good luck getting Nick out.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're lucky, Wolf men.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, you're lucky.

[Cody]

We're good, easy going people, right?

[Eli Double Tap]

You think there's 10 of me? But anyways, yeah, we. So we got kicked out the second night. We didn't. We didn't handle it personally. It's like, all right, cool, you don't want to see it.

[Junkyard Digs]

We didn't handle personally willed beast.

[Donut Operator]

We made it. We literally made it 12ft out of the bar before Brandon was on Amazon trying to find the disguise glasses with the nose. We were gonna go back the next night.

[Cody]

They couldn't get there fast enough, but I was gonna buy 10 of them.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just.

[Cody]

So put on the Groucho Marx glasses.

[Fat Electrician]

I would have done it just for that sweet little clip. You guys never finished the second half of that story, though. You never finished your plan of what you're gonna do after that happened to you.

[Eli Double Tap]

Did it involves thunder?

[Junkyard Digs]

No. Buying the.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, that one.

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh, that's hilarious.

[Donut Operator]

This is where it's like, that's still pending. That might happen.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, that's hilarious.

[Junkyard Digs]

It's that you level of pettiness and it's why we build these businesses. This.

[Cody]

That's why.

[Junkyard Digs]

I want to be petty to the people that wrong. The wrong people.

[Donut Operator]

But it's like if you're stupid rich.

[Junkyard Digs]

And then that one. What's your name?

[Cody]

We aren't, but Kevin is.

[Eli Double Tap]

Trash Donkey.

[Junkyard Digs]

Trash Donkey. Like, trash.

[Donut Operator]

That's a good name for a bar too.

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah, we'll rename it Trash Donkeys.

[Cody]

That's actually pretty unironically good name for a bar.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, she cut Kevin off and I was like, kevin, you want to buy this bar? He's like, yeah, dude.

[Fat Electrician]

Kevin would be the person to do it.

[Donut Operator]

We might be buying a bar in New Hampshire.

[Cody]

I never want to go back to that town, but I would for that one instance. The grand opening. This episode is brought to you by Lifelock.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's tax season, and we're all a bit tired of numbers, but here's one you need to hear. $16.5 billion. That's how much the IRS flagged for possible identity fraud last year. Now, here's a good number. 100 million. That's how many data points Lifelock monitors every second. If your identity is stolen, they'll fix it, guaranteed. Save up to 40% your first [e-mail]. podcast terms apply.

[Cody]

Well, the original plan was do it.

[Fat Electrician]

Do it.

[Donut Operator]

The original plan was we were gonna buy the bar, find out the bartender's name, fire her and then name the bar Fat whatever her name was. Fat Julies and just name it that. And we going to get like you.

[Cody]

Know about that either.

[Brandon Herrera]

I didn't know about that.

[Junkyard Digs]

Julie's. Mine was different. I had a different plan. I was just like find her. And every time she gets a new job, you buy that job and you fire her and you just continue that so she never is employed. The rest of that's like mine's way more equal.

[Cody]

That's the corporate version of. It follows. It follows with corporate. I'm the ghost of your LinkedIn.

[Fat Electrician]

That.

[Cody]

That's harassment. We would never do that. But it's very funny.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think you're almost.

[Cody]

You're just free balling these by now.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Junkyard Digs]

Other. Nick. How you doing? How did you get here?

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm all right.

[Cody]

My flight was all right.

[Fat Electrician]

It got delayed a couple times. Just. Yeah, I didn't have to buy a Tahoe, so that kind of sucks.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, get to. You didn't get to that thing's. It's.

[Fat Electrician]

It is pretty good condition. We're from Iowa. A Tahoe like that.

[Brandon Herrera]

When was the last time you saw the bottom half of a Tahoe?

[Fat Electrician]

Never.

[Donut Operator]

I can't recall.

[Cody]

I was maybe six years old.

[Donut Operator]

I thought the bottom half of a Tahoe was the road.

[Brandon Herrera]

What are you talking about?

[Fat Electrician]

No, it is in really good condition.

[Junkyard Digs]

You've already started this with. It doesn't have ac.

[Fat Electrician]

That doesn't matter. Windows.

[Donut Operator]

You can fix it. It's cool.

[Brandon Herrera]

That big a deal up north.

[Donut Operator]

Name one.

[Junkyard Digs]

It means the jet. The police pull you over. What kind of vehicle is this? They arrest the car?

[Brandon Herrera]

They almost did.

[Junkyard Digs]

Mexican freeze.

[Cody]

I think that's called being impounded.

[Brandon Herrera]

They arrested my car. It almost got it. He's like, it comes back to the window.

[Junkyard Digs]

No, Jeff, no.

[Fat Electrician]

Immigration.

[Brandon Herrera]

I have to buy another one.

[Donut Operator]

We had to take it le way.

[Brandon Herrera]

He come back. I forgot he came back to the window and he's like, it's a good thing he had insurance on because I was going to impound this if you didn't like that seems a little extreme.

[Cody]

Jesus.

[Junkyard Digs]

I got pulled over yesterday on the drive home.

[Donut Operator]

Really? Which vehicle?

[Junkyard Digs]

The Hummer. Oh, I'd never get pulled over.

[Eli Double Tap]

How fast were you in Uvalde too?

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh, no, I was probably in the same little town. It's like. Like past Uvaldi by 30 minutes.

[Cody]

Hondo Nippa or super nicer.

[Junkyard Digs]

There's no speed sign. Sometimes there's just big gaps. I was like, I have no idea. It goes from 40 to 75.

[Brandon Herrera]

Everyone's doing 78.

[Eli Double Tap]

They go from 35 to 75 and they don't put them anywhere.

[Brandon Herrera]

Tahoe does not do that.

[Cody]

They'll incrementally put them, but it's like 75, 55, 50, 45, 35.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like, what the.

[Cody]

That was like a block.

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah. I was going 56 out of 30.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, we have all these signs. We want to not use them.

[Fat Electrician]

Top pulled me out.

[Junkyard Digs]

Like, pulled over. I see instantly I was like coming up on a vehicle, they move over and I'm like, I think I'm going faster than everyone. Cop just goes behind me, pulls me over, walks up. He's like, no license. I was like, here you go, sir. Had turned on the lights, put my hands on the steering wheel. Just normal, super nice. He's like, oh, you're not from here, are you? I was like, no, sorry. And then I was like, we're out in Bernie, hand my ID and insurance. He's like, okay, I'm gonna just give.

[Donut Operator]

You a quick warning real quick and.

[Junkyard Digs]

Then you're on your way. Have a good day.

[Brandon Herrera]

That was it.

[Cody]

It was like, that's nice.

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh, yeah, it was dope. I was like, thank God.

[Eli Double Tap]

Build the the paint swatch up to you.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Wow.

[Cody]

Okay. Depends on which part of your yo last night.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, really?

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

If you have the video, it'll say what town was on side of the car.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

On the police car, we said we don't figure it out.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, I'll send you three. It's kind of funny. So once again, you didn't need gas station.

[Cody]

You didn't get pulled over by a real cop. Just like you didn't go to a real podcast.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, yeah.

[Cody]

You just keep getting kidnapped.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, not again. Sir, I'm gonna have to. Can I leave?

[Eli Double Tap]

That was my introduction to Texas was being pulled over right outside of drive tanks. Like when I first moved here. I've been pulled over outside. Yeah, I've been pulled outside or outside of drive tanks. Like in Uvalde area. I've been pulled over twice there in San Antonio. I've never been pulled over.

[Junkyard Digs]

Nick, you actually talked about this is the one place where you're like people just going like up 85. And cops are like, bro.

[Donut Operator]

I was like, I have done nothing but like kind of low key talk Texas the entire time. But like the only experience I have in Texas is like San Antonio, like I was here for army medic training. I'm here all the time with you guys. I was like, it's whatever. There's a lot of traffic. There's a lot of road construction. It's not that cool.

[Cody]

From the airport to here, whatever. My favorite.

[Donut Operator]

But then like I got like an hour out of San Antonio and me and my dad, I saw a sign going through a town that was like seven run down RV homes and a crack house. And then there was this billboard that said Nora's Tacos. And I was like, I bet those tacos are fucking delicious. And then a mile down the road, there was a Shell gas station that I stopped at. And in the gas station I had already, like, there was ponchos. So I bought a poncho, obviously, and I got this poncho. And then my dad's like, Nick, they got Nora's tacos here. Like really? They just like delivered them to this gas station and they were fresh. So I got these tacos. And I'm just going like 88 in a 75, driving with my knees, eating homemade tacos. They were delicious. Waving at cops with a taco in my hand. I was like, Texas is all right.

[Brandon Herrera]

See, the thing is, you got a license plate so you could do that.

[Donut Operator]

It's true. It's also a forerunner. So nobody, nobody cares.

[Cody]

You gotta get.

[Brandon Herrera]

This is the Toyota Tahoe. It's a toy. The Tahoe Toyota.

[Junkyard Digs]

It's not. You cruise in Texas and no one. We're 85 to 88. All 85 to 90.

[Brandon Herrera]

If you've never been to Texas, the roads here are insane.

[Cody]

They're smooth.

[Brandon Herrera]

They're not. They're smooth as in there's no frost, heave cracks or. They're not cut like roads up north where they're allowed to buckle in the frost. So they're. You don't. It's smooth. But you go like this when you're driving around because the Speed limits are 25 mile an hour over anything we have up there. And they're just fucking paved. Whatever was below it, it. Yep. And it's.

[Fat Electrician]

It's pretty, dude.

[Donut Operator]

The road out. When. If you ever go to Bunker Branding, there's like a road that you. It's a frontage road and the speed limit is like 65. And there's like houses on this. You're 30ft from somebody's front door going 60.

[Cody]

That's how you hit the kid from pet cemetery.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's creating a whole problem.

[Junkyard Digs]

It is. That is actually like a 65 on.

[Donut Operator]

That I know because I remember, I remember looking down one time, I was like, oh, I'm going 50. I should probably slow down. There's like I literally this far from somebody's front yard. I was like, oh, I'm going 15 under. Weird.

[Brandon Herrera]

All right, there's sections through here, through town that's like bumper to bumper, three lane traffic that is five mile an hour over the highest speed limit in Iowa. As opposed to speed limit. It's just like, we're gonna die, dude.

[Fat Electrician]

Our route back to our hotel yesterday, Dalton was driving and he is like very used to Iowa and he can't really see shit anyways. So we, I look over at the 75 mile an hour speed limit. I look down, he's going like 48. We got a train of people. I'm like, dude, you can go fast. Just drive. He drives, he drives up to like 62 and then slows back down on the first curve. And then we stay at like 48. I'm like, dude, fucking go.

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh, that would be. I would hate riding with you.

[Fat Electrician]

I was talking so much I had.

[Brandon Herrera]

Moon dust in my eyes.

[Fat Electrician]

I couldn't see forever.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's my excuse. I just, I felt like I was going way too fast.

[Fat Electrician]

You hit the gas and say, jesus, take the wheel. Hope for the best. It's Texas.

[Brandon Herrera]

The entire road there was like a blind left or right hand turn every five seconds.

[Fat Electrician]

I felt like a rally car driver. It's awesome.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, dude, he's not going to heaven.

[Junkyard Digs]

No, he's going slow.

[Eli Double Tap]

Drive slow, dude. All go to heaven. They're this, they're in the same category as cyclists.

[Brandon Herrera]

At least.

[Donut Operator]

Wherever he's going, he's not going to get there fast.

[Fat Electrician]

You're going to live a long time.

[Brandon Herrera]

Enjoy the drive, enjoy the scenery.

[Donut Operator]

Is that how you shoot? You just let Jesus take the wheel on all those ridiculous shots or what?

[Fat Electrician]

Trigger in the right direction and hope for the best.

[Junkyard Digs]

Give a quick breakdown. You are like one of the best shot. You and tier one concealed are probably the best shots.

[Fat Electrician]

Dude, Jared is amazing.

[Junkyard Digs]

You both like, you both are monsters that do not compete. You just have fun and you got to that next level where I'm like, wow, they would be that good.

[Cody]

I still think, frankly.

[Donut Operator]

Cody, me and Cody had a conversation. Me and Cody had a conversation about it the first time I went out to shoot with this because he lives like 30 minutes from my house. I was already coming down here all the time. I told Cody, I was like, yeah, I'm gonna go shoot. Shoot with him. He's like, you have to let me know because, like, everybody's kind of like, is it like a dude Perfect situation? Like, is he out there for three hours trying to get the shot, whatever? And I text Cody. I was like, he's not faking it. First time I met him, he's like, okay, pull your concealed carry and just shoot it at target. And I was like, all right. Ting. He's like, okay, shoot again. He just wanted to see where my brass was ejecting. And he goes, okay, shoot again. He steps back, kicks my brass up into the air, and then shoots. Shoots my brass on the first try. I was like, what the.

[Junkyard Digs]

Again it is that next level of shooting because you think it's so fake or it's not possible until you meet a Jared or you. Where you're like.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was like, it's got to be A.I. right, dude.

[Fat Electrician]

Dude, I never thought it was impressive. Like, the group of guys I grew up, up around kind of do the same thing. Like, my brother can probably outshoot me, but nobody will ever know it.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's insane.

[Fat Electrician]

So my brother's extremely good at shooting. It's. Yeah, yeah. Well, he's very good, but, like, I didn't know that we were at that level of shooting until, like, we were starting to shoot with other, like, doing the YouTube videos and going to events and. And I'm like, oh, okay, I'm decent.

[Brandon Herrera]

Maybe. Maybe shooting the brass out of the air. Maybe we're good at this.

[Fat Electrician]

I've also shot with a lot more people that are extremely way beyond what I can do, like, with a competition.

[Junkyard Digs]

I didn't know this was JJ ra, But that's, like, the top tier, and I guarantee you could. They probably are like, dude, you could be a monster if you.

[Fat Electrician]

I can't run, dude. I have rubber band ankles. I will eat the first yard.

[Donut Operator]

God.

[Brandon Herrera]

He's too dangerous to be kept alive.

[Fat Electrician]

For shooting out of the air. I have run like a girl.

[Eli Double Tap]

For the rest of this.

[Brandon Herrera]

Tricks are stationary.

[Cody]

That's your offender. Noticing your offender's superpower and offset.

[Fat Electrician]

I can't run. Is.

[Cody]

You're like, oh, I want to be deadshot.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Cody]

Okay, cool. You're basically paraplegic.

[Fat Electrician]

Where's the con?

[Donut Operator]

I'm good at shooting, and I don't have to run.

[Fat Electrician]

That's a great. Yeah, dude. I. I went on this TV show, American Air Gunner. In their finale. It's like a air gunner. Yeah. So have you ever seen Top Shot? Yep.

[Junkyard Digs]

So that was a gay version of that.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. It went super woke and now it's all got to be air guns to be, like, on the network. It's super stupid, but it's essentially the same thing. And air guns have actually come a long ways. Like, they were super impressive what you could do with them things.

[Cody]

They'll still kill an animal, which is, like, so annoying that they're just like, oh, but there's no gunpowder, so it's safer.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. We were like, shooting the.22 caliber shits at like 400 yards accurately.

[Cody]

Alec Baldwin could still easily kill him.

[Brandon Herrera]

Exactly.

[Fat Electrician]

Like, she's going down and things are crazy. Yeah. For the season finale, they had us running like. I'm like, it's 400 yards of sprinting to pick up, like 12 different firearms or air guns, whatever the you want to call them. And yeah, I thought was gonna be.

[Junkyard Digs]

But have you just never trained an.

[Fat Electrician]

I. I wear cowboy boots, and I'm half. So I'm just walking like a baby deer trying to get to them.

[Junkyard Digs]

Michael J. Fox the only time his hand is steady when it's the guns in it.

[Donut Operator]

So did you win the show?

[Fat Electrician]

I won it because I hit all my shots, but not because I got to the next gunfast by any means.

[Donut Operator]

It's not what I'm building up to. Who got second?

[Fat Electrician]

My wife. What? Yeah. Yep.

[Junkyard Digs]

Was she.

[Fat Electrician]

That's where I met her.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

No, and she almost got my ass, so I'm like, okay, that one's mine.

[Eli Double Tap]

God damn. I'm not breaking in your house. I know that.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, she's really good.

[Brandon Herrera]

You get stunted on before you get killed. It could be insulting.

[Junkyard Digs]

Wait.

[Brandon Herrera]

Damn. Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

I met her on the TV show.

[Junkyard Digs]

I did not know that.

[Fat Electrician]

No.

[Junkyard Digs]

What the. So you both just monsters on the.

[Fat Electrician]

Well, she grew up, like, hunting, fishing, like, anything that involves a scope. She makes me look like a idiot. Like, I just got a new 65 and we took it out to the range a couple days ago. We're like, grouping on a piece of cardboard. I'm like, like, you know, quarter size group at 100 yards. I'm like, damn, that's pretty good. She gets on it. Like, I couldn't tell that there was five shots in the same hole. I'm like, that gun's broke.

[Brandon Herrera]

We're going home.

[Fat Electrician]

No, she's insane.

[Eli Double Tap]

This gun sucks.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Junkyard Digs]

This thing's a piece of.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm just once.

[Fat Electrician]

No, dude, she's good.

[Cody]

I'm picturing breaking into your house and your wife. You know, you. You and your wife both get up, she tosses a frying pan, and you hang A shot off that into the intriguer. Like, hell.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, baby.

[Junkyard Digs]

They're going to be fighting each other to get the stateside.

[Donut Operator]

They have a Mr. And Mrs. Smith fight to decide who gets to shoot you for breaking into that.

[Junkyard Digs]

The robbers just like. Where are they fighting?

[Donut Operator]

We'll get to you in a minute. I'm so scared right now.

[Brandon Herrera]

We'll get to you. I just want to know if you have more bush light. I ran out.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, more bush light.

[Junkyard Digs]

Now run.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm good. Not the best sound.

[Fat Electrician]

Sounds good.

[Junkyard Digs]

Holy Jesus.

[Cody]

That was aggressive.

[Brandon Herrera]

Bush life.

[Cody]

Come on, house elf.

[Brandon Herrera]

Now I'm the house.

[Fat Electrician]

Thank you. That was very nice to be over.

[Donut Operator]

When we finish the 30 rack.

[Brandon Herrera]

There we go. Oh, now bring the full 30.

[Cody]

No, you pitched that idea, but that was before we were a hour in.

[Donut Operator]

Are we an hour in?

[Eli Double Tap]

No, we're not.

[Cody]

No, we're like 40.

[Brandon Herrera]

40.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, poppy. Have a beer.

[Brandon Herrera]

18 minutes seems.

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh, Poppy. Cuck. Where's another one for me? I don't have a. Oh, thank you.

[Cody]

I haven't had a bush light at least in a long time.

[Donut Operator]

Would Cody like a bush light?

[Eli Double Tap]

Are we drinking bush lights in the room?

[Fat Electrician]

Iowa going to go danger. That comes with a free inward pass, I think.

[Brandon Herrera]

Really?

[Junkyard Digs]

I don't think that's how bush light works.

[Donut Operator]

Works.

[Cody]

I think the opposite of that, actually.

[Junkyard Digs]

Brought to you by pewview.

[Eli Double Tap]

I just call that word stop resisting.

[Brandon Herrera]

There you go.

[Fat Electrician]

That's a better word.

[Donut Operator]

Christ.

[Brandon Herrera]

All right. So glad my parents don't know what this show is.

[Junkyard Digs]

Have you had inward pass? It's delicious.

[Fat Electrician]

Comes out.

[Brandon Herrera]

Any chance we ever had with Anheuser Busch is now gone.

[Donut Operator]

There was no chance.

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah, that's the line.

[Donut Operator]

There was no chance.

[Brandon Herrera]

They sent those shirts one to you. Yeah, they did. Yeah.

[Cody]

Yeah. What, you paid for them?

[Brandon Herrera]

No, Amazon. They showed up in these white little bags with blue check mark on Weird.

[Fat Electrician]

I know the owner son of Anheuser Busch. We're gonna have him out for a fat pews episode because he's, like, super into gun.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, well, I'm getting sponsored by Bush light.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, you got it. He's not super cool.

[Brandon Herrera]

Now is when you should say the Wii, not the other. Yeah, there you go.

[Donut Operator]

Yes.

[Eli Double Tap]

Tell us about that.

[Donut Operator]

It's mostly. It's mostly me talking while he shoots guns. Really good.

[Fat Electrician]

It's really entertaining. I like some videos, actually, a lot, because we can't do, like, full auto stuff on YouTube. So we went over to Pepper Box and did a B channel where it's primarily full auto everything. And we Just. Just talk and shoot. Machine gun.

[Cody]

It's your main channel. In my heart.

[Fat Electrician]

I mean same.

[Donut Operator]

Our group chat is absurd. It'll be like, hey, I think we can make a Glock switch fit a Glock chambered in. 22. We're gonna go shoot a bunch of gummy bears.

[Brandon Herrera]

All right.

[Cody]

That video was single handedly the reason I bought a Glock.44.

[Fat Electrician]

Really?

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah, dude, it was awesome.

[Cody]

It looked awesome.

[Fat Electrician]

That thing's like 25 round mags. Which. It's 22 long rifles. So hit or miss, you're gonna have a lot of jams in there. But that 25 round bag, like what did you decide? Like what was.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's point zero three seconds per round.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, it's crazy like that 25 rounds before you even like feel the recoil. They're all on target. It's insane.

[Brandon Herrera]

Jesus.

[Donut Operator]

And one gummy bear catches all of them.

[Fat Electrician]

Can we talk about the ballistics rated gummy bears? That was insane.

[Donut Operator]

Those were ridiculous. We don't have one.

[Junkyard Digs]

I know. That's our guy has one.

[Donut Operator]

One.

[Junkyard Digs]

There's just no s. Brandon's eyes.

[Donut Operator]

Like, hold on.

[Cody]

Hey, Cash. I know we haven't really met yet, but I need to call in a favor for you.

[Donut Operator]

Look, here's the policy on SOTs. SOTs are like boats. The only thing better than having a boat is having a friend with a boat. I don't have to do. I just show up half fun and leave and Brandon or Fox.

[Fat Electrician]

It's great.

[Junkyard Digs]

Actually.

[Donut Operator]

It's awesome. It's a lot like a boat.

[Junkyard Digs]

I told you, no one with the boat's like, man, that was a great investment, dude.

[Cody]

You're just using me for my boat.

[Brandon Herrera]

I mean, sorry you had to find out like this.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, Fox is awesome. Did I tell you what he's doing next for us? So I. I gave him a 2011 and he's going to make the world's First Full Auto 2011. I've never seen anything with a double stack magazine full auto. So that's gonna be dope.

[Junkyard Digs]

You figured out how to do that?

[Donut Operator]

One trigger pull is gonna be crisp.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

We'Ve seen 1911s with our eight round magazines. But we can get 30 round mags for a 2011. I think that's gonna be dope. Haven't ported. So we can just be at 100 yards.

[Donut Operator]

What's the 2011?

[Fat Electrician]

It's Alpha Foxtrot Romulus. So just a cheaper. It'll be sweet though. We gotta wreck gummy bears with it.

[Donut Operator]

Did you watch that video? Cody?

[Eli Double Tap]

I haven't watched.

[Donut Operator]

It's okay. So good. I didn't want you to.

[Eli Double Tap]

So you don't watch my.

[Donut Operator]

So I know.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think that's a standard.

[Donut Operator]

Somebody. Somebody got shot. I know. I know.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

I got the gist.

[Junkyard Digs]

Minorities getting shot. Everyone's seen it.

[Cody]

I watch your.

[Eli Double Tap]

Thank you.

[Donut Operator]

Sometimes you're so good with your titles and your thumbnails. I have to watch it. It's like guy gets beheaded with shotgun.

[Junkyard Digs]

Okay.

[Brandon Herrera]

All right.

[Donut Operator]

No. Guess how many gummy bears it. Five pound gummy bears it takes to stop. 22.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's like just a 22 round through. You're talking about those big mother.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. If I line the gummy bears up, how many gummy bears to catch it?

[Cody]

2.

[Donut Operator]

1.

[Eli Double Tap]

Really?

[Donut Operator]

Guess. 9 miles.

[Junkyard Digs]

1.

[Brandon Herrera]

1.

[Eli Double Tap]

2.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh.

[Donut Operator]

5. 5, 6.

[Brandon Herrera]

Neuro.

[Fat Electrician]

9 mil is not 4.

[Donut Operator]

9 mil was 1.

[Fat Electrician]

When 9 mil was 1, oh 9 mil was 1.

[Donut Operator]

What was 2 2, 5, 5, 5, 6.

[Fat Electrician]

But barely, like, quarter inch into the second one, it spun and diverted, like, so much energy, it didn't have any penetrating power. Like, them gummy bears are so dense. It was stopping everything. We point planked it with a 12 gauge, like in the no nose, and it stopped, like, half inch. It wouldn't go through the first gummy bear.

[Cody]

Is it because it's like tossing them off the table?

[Fat Electrician]

No, no, we have them sturdy, like, stacked in a row because we're expecting some penetration.

[Brandon Herrera]

These are made for human consumption.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, unfortunately. And Nick was eating the.

[Donut Operator]

Out of those things a couple years.

[Junkyard Digs]

We're just seeing how many I can eat or what.

[Fat Electrician]

Came up with a billion dollar idea.

[Donut Operator]

We're gonna have gummy bear armor.

[Cody]

I was just gonna say, in the apocalypse, it's Nick running around with like.

[Fat Electrician]

Five gummy bears as a snack. MRE and body armor all in one. No, some.

[Eli Double Tap]

Some young kid in the apocalypse is like, Lieutenant Brandon. Why is he doing this? Is like, don't. Don't stop him.

[Cody]

Don't question his name.

[Fat Electrician]

Just.

[Eli Double Tap]

Just let him. Just let him go.

[Cody]

It's like, man, we've been lost in the woods for six days. We're running low on armor, saying, that's fine.

[Donut Operator]

Nothing makes you feel more badass than being like, that gummy bear just stopped a 5.56 round, and my body's gonna destroy it. I'm pretty tough. Not trying to brag. I'm a goddamn machine. Have you seen the Reddit thread explaining, like, subsistence on hunting?

[Fat Electrician]

So what?

[Donut Operator]

Basically, because, like, when it was hunter and gatherer times, like humans, like, we can't outrun an animal. But, like, animals can't run forever. Like, humans can. Like, they don't sweat. They can't carry water with them. So, like, it's from, like, the animal's perspective of like, we're Terminators, Like. Like they sprint and outrun us, and then three minutes later, we just come over the horizon, slow as fuck, marching towards them like we're the snail. Chase him down the High endurance snail.

[Cody]

To be fair, I don't. I can't think of anything scarier than trying to go about my business and just know that Nick is trying to.

[Brandon Herrera]

Eat me.

[Eli Double Tap]

With a gummy bear on his chest.

[Donut Operator]

It's just me coming at you at three miles an hour for eternity.

[Cody]

You're the snail.

[Fat Electrician]

Eventually.

[Junkyard Digs]

It's always been that. What was the original, like, Osmos robot? You remember the old Honda ones that looked.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah, the really weird ones. Yeah.

[Junkyard Digs]

It was like just a little white.

[Fat Electrician]

Ball and it was like.

[Junkyard Digs]

And it could do flips. But that was the most terrifying aspect of AI going rogue. It was during that generation. Yeah, they only ran, like 3 miles per hour, but they never got tired. So you just have them like. Like hunting you. Yeah. Terrifying idea.

[Brandon Herrera]

Strap a gummy bear that. I'm out.

[Junkyard Digs]

I just can't shoot it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Then.

[Junkyard Digs]

What else are you doing on Pew.

[Donut Operator]

Views for fat pews?

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

Stupid ideas, to be honest with you. We're gonna be doing a bunch of stuff with Q. Honey Badger and Boombox. I think we're getting. We got like, seven or eight different types of 8.66 blackout coming that we're going to be able to experiment with. Do you know what kinds those are?

[Fat Electrician]

I have no idea. I think the guys over at Q had a ton of ideas, like explosive rounds and stuff. So we're gonna have to get Zach and the SOT involved to be able to do it. But we're gonna do it.

[Donut Operator]

I know.

[Cody]

We're.

[Donut Operator]

We're trying to see the legality of. There is an 8. 6 round that detonates on impact with soft tissue, and we're trying to get our hands on some of those.

[Cody]

Something. Something I also detonate on impact with soft tissue. It was right there.

[Brandon Herrera]

Both instances.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. That's crazy. The amount of, like, the AR 500 steel that I was able to penetrate through blows my mind, dude. A subsonic round doing that going through.

[Junkyard Digs]

Level four like it's nothing is ridiculous.

[Donut Operator]

That 8.6 blackout's the most satisfying gun I've ever shot in my life.

[Fat Electrician]

I agree. That's gonna Quickly become my. My favorite caliber. Obviously I don't want to pay for it, but it's.

[Cody]

That part hurts. But it's my bedside now.

[Fat Electrician]

Is it?

[Cody]

I love that thing.

[Fat Electrician]

So I'm curious because I have three children. So like the penetration power. Seeing how well it does through like soft tissue and.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

It goes through a house.

[Fat Electrician]

See, I'm curious to find out what the best ammo is to stop in soft tissue and not carry on.

[Junkyard Digs]

And your kids are short.

[Cody]

Yeah, you're.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're. Yeah. Just.

[Cody]

I don't think you're going to have a problem with your two children. Children.

[Fat Electrician]

Three.

[Cody]

No.

[Fat Electrician]

I don't think I'm gonna have a problem.

[Junkyard Digs]

Feeling the little sticker off the back of their vehicle.

[Brandon Herrera]

This wasn't right off. It was like.

[Fat Electrician]

I didn't see that coming.

[Brandon Herrera]

How much do you like that round, man?

[Fat Electrician]

Then my kids can also shoot pretty good.

[Donut Operator]

So what?

[Brandon Herrera]

You know, I'd say there's something in the water, but there's not cuz we're also from the same area and that sure as hel.

[Fat Electrician]

Get shoot like a. I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised the first time you came out to the range cuz I was not expecting you to know what you were doing with a gun. And I was like Dalton and I were like behind us.

[Cody]

Like what the.

[Eli Double Tap]

We just punching each other in the nuts tonight?

[Cody]

Or shade Throne.

[Fat Electrician]

No, you.

[Brandon Herrera]

You sh.

[Donut Operator]

I try.

[Junkyard Digs]

I thought he was gonna suck.

[Fat Electrician]

I. I mean He's a historical YouTuber. I didn't know like he. You don't shoot very often. You have guns and stuff, but for the amount you shoot, you're extremely good.

[Junkyard Digs]

All the guys can shoot good. I remember you can shoot me. Brandon's the one when the AK dude when we had that 100 yard. So I was like, is it Brandon or the gun? And then I went behind the gun. Shot three. I was like.

[Cody]

It was the pioneer. It was like dog gun. I'm trying to tell them they're like both these guns look the same. Like a pioneer in arsenal. I'm like, I know they might look similar, but very radically different build. And it was like minute, barely at.

[Junkyard Digs]

100 yards, 16 inch MOA. Like all day. It was this just circle and you're like, that's crazy. But then Brandon did the arsenal and both iron sights.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, yeah.

[Junkyard Digs]

Sub one. He did a sub one, dude.

[Cody]

The R 1.3 ish. It wasn't that.

[Junkyard Digs]

That like still irons and that.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was like. But I was like, okay, I told.

[Cody]

You I'm not That bad.

[Donut Operator]

You weren't there this morning yet. At Drive Tanks, they have a real FG42.

[Cody]

Oh, I know.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

I didn't know that. I thought that was fake sitting in the corner over there. So I didn't even.

[Donut Operator]

Like that one was. The real one was in the back room. They brought it out for us. They're like. I was like, can we shoot it? And they're like, not right now because it broke. And I was like, what happened? And they're like, well, it only shoots full auto now. I was.

[Fat Electrician]

What do you mean?

[Cody]

So that. That's Brancy. I think he bought it for like a quarter million.

[Fat Electrician]

Jesus Christ.

[Cody]

Those are like, absurdly.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Cody]

Sought after. Well, I mean, it was the same with Kevin's is Stoner 63. Because I. I look like a. In the video when I shoot it because I had it set to semi. And I'm expecting one round because I just want to do like 1, 2. Okay. Full auto.

[Donut Operator]

Know.

[Cody]

You know, I got the belt hanging out and everything, like, all right. And I. I almost go over the berm.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, I got that.

[Cody]

And I look back over at Kevin. I'm like, oh. So semi is just. He's like, semi. Nope. That would have been nice to know, but all right.

[Fat Electrician]

No, you recovered really well. I think we've all been there where we weren't expecting it and just kind of sailed a little bit. But you recovered really well because then when you went to finish the belt, you were like on the torso completely.

[Cody]

I had to, you know, I had to redeem myself the first round. I was expecting one and got eight.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, yeah. You were not prepared.

[Cody]

No.

[Fat Electrician]

It was funny, though. Like, your reaction, which is also going to be on fat piece.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's really good.

[Junkyard Digs]

I hip fired it.

[Fat Electrician]

You did. Which was also amazing.

[Brandon Herrera]

How.

[Fat Electrician]

How did you get no recoil out of that from the hip? Like watching that footage back. That thing did not move.

[Junkyard Digs]

And you will not. You'll see my eyes go like this. That is the weirdest thing. When I watch replays, my eyes never blink.

[Cody]

I'm like.

[Junkyard Digs]

It's like everything I can see on.

[Cody]

My mouth, it's like fighting you.

[Junkyard Digs]

When.

[Cody]

You fight Eli, he just goes.

[Junkyard Digs]

Emotions go away. Kill time. It's a shot. I have my 2000 meter shot and it's like 300 rum and it is a really dope slow motion shot that trigger pulls, like the gun. Everything's like going around me, my face.

[Fat Electrician]

Like your eyes slowly come out of your skull a little bit and then pop back in.

[Junkyard Digs]

I was like, Yay. What's the furthest shot you've done, actually?

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, I don't even know, like pistol or rifle?

[Junkyard Digs]

Both.

[Brandon Herrera]

Pistols on the table.

[Junkyard Digs]

700 yards.

[Fat Electrician]

No, just over 500. After 500 your cone is like minute of Mac truck and you can't. It's all luck at that accuracy.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

After 400 yards you can't like accurately land that. Exactly, exactly. Rifle not that far. Like just over a mile. And that was on a like a rifle already set up. Well, it wasn't like I'm getting on it and dialing and everything. The guy's like, hey, you're good. Hold it at the target. So it's not like dialing it. We live in highway. Everything's super flat. You can't really get any distance because the neighbor's probably going to lose a.

[Donut Operator]

Cow 10 miles away.

[Fat Electrician]

Exactly.

[Donut Operator]

You literally can't hunt with high powered rifles. Rifles in Iowa?

[Fat Electrician]

No. You gotta use straight wall and which shout out cube. That's gonna be dope.

[Junkyard Digs]

350.

[Fat Electrician]

350. And we convinced him to do a barrel for a 35. A Whalen, which is essentially a 3006 but legal in Iowa to hunt with. Which doesn't make any sense, but we can do it.

[Donut Operator]

Must gone. Lost out.

[Fat Electrician]

No, it's completely.

[Cody]

Almost like they're written by people who don't know exactly.

[Fat Electrician]

Nobody understands fully. They're just like, yeah, something else.

[Donut Operator]

You know who makes the electricity code?

[Fat Electrician]

The what?

[Cody]

Electricians.

[Donut Operator]

Electricians come up with the electrical code. Actually, people know they're talking.

[Junkyard Digs]

We need change that. Yeah, let me.

[Donut Operator]

I don't understand plumbers involved.

[Fat Electrician]

The people.

[Donut Operator]

We should get a bunch of Amish people to write the electrical code. A bunch of people that hate electricity.

[Junkyard Digs]

I like what you're on.

[Cody]

It's like the faa.

[Donut Operator]

You know what?

[Cody]

You know who should have the faa? Somebody who hates planes.

[Junkyard Digs]

What's your next big car build?

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, that's a loaded question. I don't know what I'm doing ever. Probably tomorrow. I assume one of us. Dude. Yeah.

[Junkyard Digs]

One of our videos.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yep. Well, I mean tomorrow we're heading out there and pick up that 67 Cougar and driving it home. And then after that, I don't know. Angus. Any guesses? Well, we got the.

[Cody]

We got the GTO that we're never ever gonna finish.

[Junkyard Digs]

Is your first name Angus?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

It's real though.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, it gets better. But I don't know. I don't want to embarrass him all the time. Please don't dox me on The Internet?

[Junkyard Digs]

Was your mom or dad that came up with that?

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, either of them were gonna take. I don't think either of us liked him that much. See, they had Angus. You had Angus cows. But they came later. Middle school. Perfect timing. Yeah. So he was. He was named First Angus. What's your. Would you. Would you like to do the honors?

[Eli Double Tap]

No, it's like, my middle name is Ass.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's why I chose Amos. Angus's last name is Whacker.

[Cody]

Well, he just doxed you on the Internet.

[Fat Electrician]

Sorry.

[Donut Operator]

You're a goddamn cow assassin, Angus Whacker. Angus Ass.

[Junkyard Digs]

Whacker is cool. It's a crazy name.

[Brandon Herrera]

I never thought of it that way.

[Cody]

I like that one.

[Brandon Herrera]

We always went for Meat Beater, but, dude, the Callus Ass is funnier.

[Cody]

That's your. That's your outro.

[Eli Double Tap]

Whacker.

[Cody]

Straight Whacker.

[Eli Double Tap]

Straight Whacker.

[Cody]

Oh, we got a gay whacker too now.

[Eli Double Tap]

Welcome to the Bully Angus podcast. We're happy to have him here.

[Cody]

Bullying each other tonight.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, it's all the way around. Who's next?

[Junkyard Digs]

We can cut your name if you.

[Brandon Herrera]

Doesn't matter. It's. No one's ever forgot his name, honestly.

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah, I'm never gonna forget that name.

[Brandon Herrera]

We got through the airport easily because we came back up to this lady who's seen, like, 150 people who are all screwed over because they screwed the entire flight system up. Everyone was screwed. And we got up and she was like, okay, we're trying to like, hey, we were here 30 minutes ago. This and that. We had the red toolbox that went through. It's probably long lost forever. She goes, oh, you're with Whacker. I'm like, yeah. She goes, I got you guys. Pulls it right up. It's a. It's your face.

[Cody]

You're the whacker guy.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, it worked perfect. And now we have a Tahoe.

[Donut Operator]

I bullied him into quitting his job too. I'm really proud of that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Really? It's true.

[Junkyard Digs]

Which one?

[Donut Operator]

I got him and Ethan Angus.

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

He hung out with me one time and quit his job a week later.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Who used your name in the exit interview? Yeah, Nick the fat electrician told me to quit. And my boss is like, oh, it'll make sense later.

[Donut Operator]

He subscribed to me after that. It's fine. It's like, oh, this guy's videos are good.

[Brandon Herrera]

There's his YouTube channel. Just like Angus's. Bossompany.com Heinous Angus.

[Donut Operator]

That was his name.

[Brandon Herrera]

We were engineers before we did this.

[Cody]

Really?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Manufacturing engineers. He actually went in the industry for three years. I went straight from college into YouTube.

[Donut Operator]

And before college, you were.

[Fat Electrician]

Good thing you got that degree in the military.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yes, yes. Okay.

[Donut Operator]

Go on. Job. Military.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah, I see where you're going. Helicopter mechanics, CH47 Chinooks.

[Donut Operator]

You just his private unit patch that he sent me a picture of. It is hilarious.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, we do our own, you know.

[Donut Operator]

Like the Iowa Hawkeye is the football team in Iowa. The big college team.

[Brandon Herrera]

Do you know? No, keep going.

[Donut Operator]

Okay, so it's.

[Junkyard Digs]

It's the Hawkeye.

[Brandon Herrera]

We only have, like. That's it. That's all we have.

[Donut Operator]

It's a hot hawk on this patch with wings, and it's got some bimbo naked, bent over, and it's the hawk with its wings grabbing her hips, and it's just a corn cob dick laying across her ass cheeks. That was his own.

[Cody]

That is the most. That is the most Iowa bestiality I've ever heard in my entire life.

[Junkyard Digs]

How do we combine?

[Brandon Herrera]

We had one thing. We have one guy that was great at art, and then another ones that had a bunch of ideas.

[Cody]

Poor Art News never let me meet the ideas guy.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was a whole pile of them. Let's see if I sent it to you.

[Junkyard Digs]

That's like, you described that. And if you're like the guy who. Who came up with that.

[Donut Operator]

Angus Whacker.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, no, no, no.

[Eli Double Tap]

Checks out shitting me right now.

[Donut Operator]

I will pay to have business cards made for you. Angus Whacker. Cow assassin.

[Cody]

That is straight up a name. I didn't want to assume he wasn't. No, Angus Whacker is like, that's up there with Johnny Sins.

[Fat Electrician]

Like, that's it.

[Junkyard Digs]

Sounds like he jerks off cows, but.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, we talk about that and we went off the deep end. Tell us why you like Texas. Like how it tastes?

[Donut Operator]

I said. I said Glock.

[Cody]

Com.

[Junkyard Digs]

I like how it tastes.

[Cody]

I like.

[Brandon Herrera]

Same answer.

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah, same answer.

[Cody]

This podcast has already gone off the rail.

[Donut Operator]

Usually you only taste those once. Jesus.

[Eli Double Tap]

Do we ever tell the story about how we made the Hollywood people mad tasting our guns?

[Cody]

Yeah, I don't know if we ever did.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think we need beers. Oh, chest. Oh, there's a.

[Junkyard Digs]

There's a case here.

[Brandon Herrera]

Okay, I forgot.

[Eli Double Tap]

We got it.

[Brandon Herrera]

I forgot. Sorry. I could have reached over and done that a long time ago, but me and Cody were.

[Cody]

Were out for some gay Hollywood shit and we were over it. Actually, we. We stopped at Terran's while we were out there.

[Eli Double Tap]

Terran's where they. They trained Keanu to shoot for John Wick and all that.

[Cody]

So if you've ever seen, like, John Wick or the Jamie Foxx or any of those guys that are training, like, doing real good with, like, handguns and stuff, this is where they're shooting. And so we went out there, we were hanging with him for a little bit, and there's a lot of Hollywood LA types. You found it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Sorry. Wookie Chase.

[Junkyard Digs]

Pull this up. But then they blur most of it.

[Brandon Herrera]

This has never. We never even use this. Oh, my God.

[Junkyard Digs]

Cubes.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's graphic.

[Brandon Herrera]

We had.

[Cody]

I don't even.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't even do that when I.

[Cody]

Watch your uncensored shooting videos.

[Brandon Herrera]

We had nothing to do on this deployment. We got there and they're like, your entire job's been contracted. The Dynacor, it was the civilian maintenance. So they're gonna make six figures. You guys sweep.

[Cody]

It's even more graphics than you described.

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah, way more graphics.

[Brandon Herrera]

That has never been revealed till just now. I don't believe.

[Junkyard Digs]

Was she smiling, Link?

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, that's what matters.

[Donut Operator]

Different.

[Junkyard Digs]

Well, she wasn't.

[Brandon Herrera]

She wasn't upset.

[Eli Double Tap]

Is she indifferent?

[Brandon Herrera]

I was surprised.

[Fat Electrician]

Surprised. That's not a great fun part.

[Brandon Herrera]

Was finding a company.

[Cody]

That's really not a great word.

[Brandon Herrera]

The fun part was finding a sticker company to make 200 of them and shipping to Iraq.

[Fat Electrician]

I mean, it probably wasn't very unusual.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was like the second one. They're like, we'll do it.

[Cody]

Dear God.

[Brandon Herrera]

This is not actually. Well, this will be the second patch that our little detachment piece was famous for. If you've seen Chinooks or any unit, patches that are pretty well known through aviation that say all night long, that is. I think it's been renamed the 174th after I got out. But they were 211th out of that before it was the Chinook unit. And everyone likes to say the units who are old a bit the best. The 160th specifically called Davenport for their summer training each year because we could do whatever the. They wanted on time every day with perfectly clean showroom aircraft. And these guys kicked ass.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, you were one of the mechanics. And after we lit up a Humvee with 700 machine guns. You got it started in like an hour.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, this was before I was. This is years before I was even in.

[Donut Operator]

I.

[Brandon Herrera]

These guys have been well known for a long time. And I look back on. I'm saying these guys is in the guys that were above me at the time and that are now out. And it's all different people. I don't. I can't talk from that. I mean, they're still there. They're still good shit.

[Cody]

It's still like the ship of Theseus. Like it's the same yes thing. I mean, philosophically, maybe they've been political.

[Brandon Herrera]

Rigmarole of other companies have taken over them. They kind of just. We're gonna still be the best we can.

[Cody]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

But going back All Night Long is a patch that a buddy of mine drew up similar to this, but much less what just happened. And they got back from a really rough deployment, I believe 11, where they lost a bird and lost a lot of guys who were on the way home, if I remember the story right. But they. It was Lionel Richie obviously on the patch with an aviation helmet or whatever.

[Cody]

Obviously.

[Junkyard Digs]

Obviously.

[Cody]

Lionel Richie.

[Brandon Herrera]

All night long Lionel Richie came to the hangout.

[Cody]

What? You don't know that song?

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Cody]

All night long.

[Brandon Herrera]

Come on. Everybody knows that.

[Fat Electrician]

Yes, you do.

[Junkyard Digs]

If you heard maybe I'm very bad.

[Brandon Herrera]

They got back from deployment and Lionel Richie came.

[Junkyard Digs]

What?

[Cody]

No dancing on the street.

[Fat Electrician]

That's pretty good.

[Brandon Herrera]

All night long moment again. You guys continue. Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

You don't know any music and he doesn't know any movies, which is kind of. He doesn't know.

[Junkyard Digs]

Never mind. I can't judge you.

[Brandon Herrera]

Sorry.

[Junkyard Digs]

I was about to judge you. I was like.

[Fat Electrician]

We're both name like five random movies. And like we were trying to do this to him yesterday and we got him. Nick. Got him.

[Brandon Herrera]

Because we could go through this. Yeah.

[Junkyard Digs]

Wait, let me tell where. It's like Groundhog Day. Wait, Groundhog Day?

[Brandon Herrera]

Nope.

[Cody]

The Passion of the Christ.

[Brandon Herrera]

Nope. O. Actually, I did have to watch that Wednesday school or whatever it was.

[Donut Operator]

The Patriot.

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Junkyard Digs]

You.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hit him with Braveheart movies growing up.

[Fat Electrician]

And I got no deserve that Bush life.

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Junkyard Digs]

Lord of the Rings?

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Fat Electrician]

No.

[Junkyard Digs]

Harry Potter?

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Donut Operator]

The is wrong with you?

[Junkyard Digs]

What do you do?

[Donut Operator]

Fix cars.

[Cody]

That shit's hard.

[Junkyard Digs]

What do you and your wife do?

[Donut Operator]

Fix cars. His wife also has a channel where she fixes cars.

[Junkyard Digs]

Did she just hold the flashlight?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

Damn. Okay.

[Cody]

Man, you guys literally found soulmates.

[Junkyard Digs]

That is wild. What? Lord of the Rings?

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Donut Operator]

God.

[Junkyard Digs]

I want to take.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's what I hit him with yesterday.

[Brandon Herrera]

We only had like 12 VHS's growing up. And then I was too busy working for the next 23 years.

[Cody]

Three of them were Jurassic Park.

[Donut Operator]

I would do.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was like. It was like, oh, hold on.

[Eli Double Tap]

VHS Land before time.

[Brandon Herrera]

I have seen that. We're going way back. Way back.

[Cody]

Very Nice. Good poll.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. If you go early 2000s, late 90s, what a kid would watch growing up throughout then. Or a lot of common VHS. You'll probably. You'll probably get me on Iron Giant, Faces of Death. Yeah. Billy Madison actually on deployment. I saw those.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

But we're like, oh, up morale, speed. Hell yeah. That was a good one.

[Eli Double Tap]

Dudes will say, hell yeah.

[Junkyard Digs]

Hell yeah, bro.

[Cody]

So will Germans in 1939.

[Junkyard Digs]

I want to watch these movies with you just to watch your reaction.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

The worst part is I haven't seen a lot of car movies like Cannibal Run or Two Lane Blacktop or the stuff that people like cars.

[Eli Double Tap]

Faster.

[Fat Electrician]

But you've seen Fast and Furious because.

[Brandon Herrera]

They were on VHS 2001 or 3.

[Fat Electrician]

Inception, Smokey and the Band.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think I have seen Inception once.

[Donut Operator]

Triple X.

[Cody]

Yes.

[Donut Operator]

What the is wrong with you?

[Brandon Herrera]

This makes sense.

[Eli Double Tap]

You've never seen.

[Donut Operator]

No, it doesn't.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yes, it does. I was stuck in Texas for two and a half months in pre mode for deployment.

[Junkyard Digs]

What the.

[Brandon Herrera]

Actually, two weeks they passed. There's nothing to do in Texas. That's how I started my channel. There was a hard drive pass around. Everyone got the pirate movie. Pirated movie hard drive.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, this is not the Vin Diesel Triple X.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, it is. Yeah.

[Cody]

Actually, I think you downloaded the wrong torrent.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, there was.

[Fat Electrician]

What does he look like? Describe him.

[Brandon Herrera]

The guy passed, he was like.

[Fat Electrician]

Johnny says that's Johnny's a doctor slash astronaut.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, he's got a huge dick.

[Junkyard Digs]

That's all you remember?

[Fat Electrician]

They skipped that far.

[Brandon Herrera]

Everyone was watching the whole barracks at once. It was weird.

[Junkyard Digs]

This story sucks.

[Brandon Herrera]

Eventually we all synced it so it was an audio track. I think I've seen Roadhouse. I don't remember.

[Eli Double Tap]

Older new Roadhouse.

[Fat Electrician]

The old one.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm just gonna go with. Actually, probably don't see neither. Safe bet.

[Fat Electrician]

Okay, fair enough.

[Brandon Herrera]

They passed her on a hard drive full of movies on deployment. So we sat there for two fucking months. 90% of it I hadn't seen. Well, the guy that passed around was like, real creepy about it, guys. He's like, definitely don't cop the other folder. Just take the one. I was about to say, you probably got something 400 gigabytes of. And it said not definitely. And there was like 100 gigabytes of movies. I just took the movies and gave it back. I was like, I don't like. I don't want to be responsible. Do you have a rag?

[Donut Operator]

Jesus Christ. He saw the not folder, was like, I just work on cars. I just want the movies.

[Fat Electrician]

I don't think you.

[Cody]

I don't think you want the rag.

[Brandon Herrera]

Instead of spending my time watching those movies, I would walk to the MWR and edit it. The first of our YouTube videos. And I had just enough film that summer that I put out one video a month.

[Donut Operator]

You were editing YouTube videos on government Internet or government computers?

[Brandon Herrera]

You think it's Iraq? No. This is why I'm still stuck in Colleen at Fort Hood. Still two months? Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

How long have you been at the whole YouTube channel thing? Because I didn't know that it'll be.

[Brandon Herrera]

That was 2017, so someone else do the math. Seven, eight years now. And that first year I came back from deployment, put out one video a month, and the algorithm back then was really good. If you made a good video, it did good. That's all the rules were. It was fantastic. I miss those days. No one knows what the fuck's happening anywhere.

[Cody]

Wouldn't know.

[Brandon Herrera]

I haven't made a good video in a while, apparently. But I came back from deployment with 120,000 subs. And I like, no shit. You know that you put all your shit in boxes and you leave and life just pauses and you come back a year later, usually about that same time in the season, and you just drop back in and be like, okay, here's all the stuff that I left. This is right where I left off. I came back and was like, here's all my shit. But life completely changed while I was gone. And I guess I make videos now and then went to college and did all that, and it exploded in about 2019. 2020.

[Cody]

Nice.

[Brandon Herrera]

And we started doing. Yeah, yeah, I think 2019. We did a video that did really well. And I realized if I do one a week, I think I can make money on this for real. And I still finished my degree for the next two years and said, I'm not quitting college and I will go into industry unless YouTube makes twice what I can make as an engineer. And when I saw that number went, okay, I guess I'll take this bet. We started making long videos, and then. That really, really does. Yeah. Oh, God.

[Junkyard Digs]

You came back from deployment after a year and. And you would have gained over 100,000.

[Brandon Herrera]

And done nothing to help our country the whole time we were there. I did sweep a hanger and throw away stuff from, like, 2004.

[Fat Electrician]

We need them people.

[Donut Operator]

Sounds like.

[Cody]

Yeah, like, there's a lot of empty water jugs next to this drain with a chair. That's what it was.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was like people's little projects and stuff that squirrel away when they left? No, not that. But like you get bored so you like his name was a build a slingshot or something. Or like take an old aircraft part and make something cool out of it and they squirrel it away in a corner. Or there's parts left over from like 2003 that we don't even know are in fucking circuit anymore. And they were so worried about some major walking through the hangar in two months that might walk past that area. They're like, I want everything thrown away and I want this place swept every day. And that's what we did until Dynacor fucked up an aircraft really bad. I love you.

[Junkyard Digs]

They trained you to work on airplanes. And like we, we contracted that out for a lot more.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was, I was embarrassed to have served our country for a year there. It was bad. That deployment. We almost. This almost isn't my story to tell, but I don't know if I'll ever get my buddy Vaughn to be on here. But we almost got a teacher fired in California.

[Fat Electrician]

What?

[Junkyard Digs]

How?

[Fat Electrician]

I heard it's a good story.

[Brandon Herrera]

This was the highlight of a year in Kuwait and Iraq. Buddy of mine. So we were. We're on. Let me set the stage a little bit. We're on second shift and second shift and we've been transitioned to Iraq at this point because all the times from like second shift. So it's like we start in the dark and end at 7am right after breakfast and then we go back. So I think it's like 10 or 11 to 7am and all brass cared about on this deployment was rotating every individual through the danger zone of Iraq. So we all got deployment patches and then they got awards for it. That's. It was literally numbers from start to finish. It was the stupidest thing. So we're up there and we're on second shift. And if you know anything about aviation and working on helicopters is very, very, very intense. If you pull off a panel and work on a component back there and unbolt and every single component of this is written up. I remove panel, whatever, loosen bolt or remove safety. Loosen bolt, remove component. Component is then serialized. New component serialized. Go back on torque set value, new safety goes on. But before that panel goes back on, it gets covered again, say, or close the hood, essentially that needs to be inspected. Every piece has to be inspected and signed off by a certified TI or technical inspectors. We didn't have one on second shift. So they're like, I don't know, just be there for four months and we'll see what happens. And it's in the dark, old times. We're just fucking around. I got really good at Mario Kart on N64. It's like anyone on Wario stands him.

[Junkyard Digs]

That's how we would hit the shortcut down.

[Brandon Herrera]

We would get. No, we didn't. Yeah, no, we did. We did. Eventually we did like three months in because we also didn't have for Internet. Someone looked it up one day and we're like, this changes everything. We would have like one task handed down. It's like, you have to go out and do that. And it's like, all right, guys, you know what to do. Everyone in the break room, we can have a bracket system to see who wins and who loses. Whoever loses has to go do this task. So like, the first three hours would be, all right, fucking Jones. You have to do it haha. And then they go out and do that. So this is the environment we're in. There's nothing to do. One day we get a care package from a. From one of the. And this at the time, we didn't know. But a care package shows up to us. I'll leave it in our view to start with. Care package shows up, bunch of pieces of paper in it that are all like really roughly drawn pictures from like second graders or something. You gotta put yourself in our shoes. Our minds are pretty twisted mentally at this point. We've been through a logistical hell of a deployment we haven't done. We never had. We're never fired on once. There's never any danger or anything. It was just people fucking with us, and we were just angry for a year. So we get all these papers and we're like, we're gonna pull a prank on first. First shift. This would be great. And all these pictures have, like, a recurring theme. There's stick figures made out of crayon, an orange number 8 race car, and American flag. And the last piece of paper is blank. And I don't know how many names I should say here, but my buddy Vaughn, I'll say that. And Mrs.

[Cody]

Teacher named don't dox at and T. It's okay.

[Brandon Herrera]

They weren't out there. We were like, oh, yeah, we're gonna fuck with this. So he draws this. Let me pull it up. He draws this picture. Oh yeah. He draws this picture. That fits in perfectly.

[Cody]

That was Snapchat. I don't think I want to see what's in that same folder, man.

[Brandon Herrera]

That was just my face. I'm sorry. It's a YouTube editor. He draws this photo. Got to go all the way back. You're fine. You have to zoom in to see it anyway.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, they'll do that. Get right in there.

[Junkyard Digs]

Just for people out there, kids would send amazing artwork. You don't die, soldier man.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was some.

[Donut Operator]

Yours freedom.

[Brandon Herrera]

But no, we appreciated it. And I don't want to like on these little kids, but this is all about pulling up a joke on first mental math.

[Cody]

Yo.

[Eli Double Tap]

What.

[Cody]

What year were you first in Iraq?

[Junkyard Digs]

2007.

[Brandon Herrera]

So, like, I probably threw your stuff.

[Cody]

That was just after the age. Probably just after the age. I was sending those.

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh, God.

[Cody]

As part of a school project.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, damn.

[Brandon Herrera]

So we.

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh, my God.

[Cody]

Yeah, I was. I started seventh grade in the end of 2007.

[Junkyard Digs]

Let me go back if I haven't somewhere.

[Eli Double Tap]

There's a lot.

[Donut Operator]

Sorry you got shot.

[Junkyard Digs]

I thought you were like, bad stickers.

[Donut Operator]

Specialist Quavo, you're 20?

[Cody]

19.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm 28. 28, yeah.

[Cody]

Oh, what the.

[Fat Electrician]

You're the youngest guy here.

[Brandon Herrera]

Not by much, apparently. I thought I was a child. Anyway.

[Junkyard Digs]

Speaking of children, A little baby.

[Brandon Herrera]

We take aspects from each one of these photos. The number eight race car, the flags, and all this. And Vaughn, my buddy, draws this and we sneak it. We put the same teacher's name on top. We make it all match. It says, kill your enemies spelled wrong with all this. With the pentagram. This will show up later.

[Junkyard Digs]

You got a teacher fired?

[Brandon Herrera]

Not yet. And we sneak this. We. We sneak this into the pile and we hand it off the first ship.

[Cody]

Is that something we can show?

[Brandon Herrera]

Okay.

[Donut Operator]

Send me that in the Hawkeye logo. That'll go on pepper box, probably. Definitely not going on normal YouTube.

[Eli Double Tap]

We have to frame that and put.

[Cody]

It on the wall.

[Junkyard Digs]

It's like one has a boner and is about to.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's been a while since I looked at it. I don't remember that part.

[Donut Operator]

One of them's holding a decapitated cord.

[Brandon Herrera]

So we slip that. We slip that about two thirds of the way in or somewhere near the bottom. So we make it look real. Yeah. Go ahead and please re examine the evidence. And first shift comes in and they're digging through. They're like, this one's funny. This one. And then they get to it and they go, what is this one? Which I have on camera, actually, because, of course, me, you know, starting YouTuber films, everything. Big liability for the army. They got. They were love. They love to get rid of me when the time came. But they go through, and we're like, that was a good one. Guys, we got it. We got the. Our own idiots on first shift. Haha. Two days goes by, we come back into work and. Sorry, we're on third. I believe second shift is leaving. We're coming in. They go, hey, just so you know, that went way farther that. That joke you guys did with the paper went way farther than you thought.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh no.

[Brandon Herrera]

And we're like, what? And they're like, I don't know. That's all I know. And then they leave and we're like, whatever. For the first time.

[Cody]

That's never what you want to hear about any joke.

[Brandon Herrera]

This is them playing a joke back on us. This is nothing. This is dumb. Hour four of the night. I mean, what do you think it could have done, right? Like definitely. And oh, one other. We signed it DeMarcus up in the talk. Just random whatever name came first.

[Donut Operator]

Pepper that in at the end.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's important. Oh no.

[Cody]

Oh no.

[Brandon Herrera]

Now it's. It's coming up to breakfast. We're about ending the day. And poor Vaughn and all of his mental fortitude has broken down the point. He's like, I don't know, man. What. What the fuck's gonna happen? What could have possibly happened that they were. They were. These guys were freaked out about this piece of paper that we drew on. Sergeant comes in that morning, big black guy and he's like the only one in the whole guru.

[Donut Operator]

Sergeant demarcus.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, I don't want to throw too many names out, but he's like the one man of color in our group. Great dude. But he's probably the only intelligent leadership position they had on that entire unit. From the state in California. I'll say California. From the Californians we were deployed with. That just made all of it worse the whole time. And he sits. Vaughn. He's like, vaughn, my office. Zach goes in and we're all just like sitting out there like shit. He's been in there for like 15 minutes. What's going on?

[Donut Operator]

You're an E4 at the time.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

Oh boy.

[Brandon Herrera]

Always was. And E4 mafia. Oh yeah.

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh yeah, brother.

[Brandon Herrera]

We. He comes out of the office and he's like. He totally's sweating for a bit. And he's like, alright, here's what happened. Turns out one of the pilots from the California side, their wife is a second grade teacher and she had her class draw these photos and sent it to us. And we snuck that one in and all the first. All the Californians and their sensitivity got this thing. They're like we need to help this kid. So they took it to the officers, who then called back to California and said, you have a child that has a bunch of mental issues that drew this photo that you need to have immediate help sent to. And they call the teacher in the office, like, why would you send this out? Who is demarcus and what is going on here? And she's, like, in tears. I don't have a DeMarcus. And they were, like, threatening to fire her. And this, like, escalated way too much. And, like, so we explain it or he explains it and he's got. All right, Vaughn. It's a good joke. I got one question. Why'd you name him demarcus?

[Donut Operator]

At least there wasn't a demarcus in the class. I thought this was gonna end. And, like, yeah, there's still a kid in a mental institution today because of me. I thought it was gonna be way darker than it was.

[Brandon Herrera]

It wasn't me.

[Eli Double Tap]

It wasn't me.

[Brandon Herrera]

I wouldn't sell enemies, right?

[Cody]

Some poor kids getting his ass beat by his dad.

[Junkyard Digs]

They hold down his drawing to normal drawings. Same matches. Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

DeMarcus, was it you?

[Junkyard Digs]

You little piece of. Okay, so sorry.

[Brandon Herrera]

So, yeah, that was. That was my deployment. That was it. That was all of it. That's what I did in the army. Also, there are helicopters.

[Cody]

Thank you for your service.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Junkyard Digs]

You got a combat patch, right?

[Brandon Herrera]

I did. Oh, yeah. Did you guys ever end up a single individual? The IT guys. All of them.

[Junkyard Digs]

You get a cab.

[Brandon Herrera]

I know. I'm gonna go. No, Brandon, can he borrow in yours?

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, I saw that.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was impressive.

[Eli Double Tap]

Brandon has, like, five more Navy achievements medals than me.

[Brandon Herrera]

You.

[Cody]

It's such a deep cut. Like, I don't even feel like explaining this joke anymore.

[Donut Operator]

I forgot to bring it. I got something for you at my P.O.

[Brandon Herrera]

Box.

[Cody]

Me?

[Donut Operator]

You mentioned in one of the podcasts you don't have a set of foreign jump wings. A one star scop general who's apparently a fan of unsub, sent me his with the official memorandum, them authorizing you permission to wear it.

[Cody]

That's actually dope. I will say, that whole combination, that's pretty titties.

[Donut Operator]

Dude. The level.

[Cody]

Jesus.

[Fat Electrician]

I just walked past your. All your medals out there for the first time ever. And holy, these guys are taking this deep.

[Cody]

They took it seriously.

[Fat Electrician]

And a lot of awesome.

[Cody]

And there's a cool element to it, too, because a lot of these guys, like, these are their medals, right? And, like, these are all, like, either active duty or prior guys that are just coming Up.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, they're set.

[Cody]

Like, not just, like, buying them on ebay or whatever, but it's just like, oh, yeah, this is mine. I want to give it to you for, like.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, shared valor.

[Cody]

Yeah, it's like, it's not like. Not just for the bit because, like, they're acknowledging the bit, but it's also like, you guys do so much for the veteran community. We appreciate it.

[Donut Operator]

Brandon's crowdfunding Valor. Brandon, is your website. Go Valor. Me?

[Cody]

Oh, no.

[Brandon Herrera]

We walked in and I was like, I didn't think Brandon was in.

[Fat Electrician]

It wasn't a metal honor sitting right there. No. That's really cool that people are, like, doing that, too, and you appropriately display it. I thought that was as soon as.

[Brandon Herrera]

The door for the property opens, too.

[Cody]

Like, I. I hate. I hate the joke. Obviously, you, Eli still to this day for that.

[Fat Electrician]

Still pretty cool.

[Cody]

But it's cool that, like, for it to mean that much is kind of neat.

[Fat Electrician]

Right?

[Brandon Herrera]

Right.

[Junkyard Digs]

Do people like the cibs? Like, Brandon, a guy was like, here's my CIB And I grabbed it. I was like, holy. He got this in Iraq because it was like, a black cib. I was like, this is actually you guys. Yeah, this is an urban CIB and yes, cab. Cibs.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's like, in years, are we gonna be like, guys, when do we stop this joke?

[Fat Electrician]

You just got a pile of metals over there.

[Junkyard Digs]

Your kids are gonna be so confused.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Junkyard Digs]

Who?

[Cody]

The words, like, yeah, if.

[Brandon Herrera]

If, like.

[Cody]

Like, when I have kids and whatnot. Just to leave on top of the trunk or whatever. Just a paper explanation.

[Junkyard Digs]

No, we're going to be like, don't ever ask. Daddy's very.

[Donut Operator]

Two generations.

[Brandon Herrera]

He does a lot.

[Junkyard Digs]

He lies about what he did.

[Cody]

No wonder he drinks so much.

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh, man, I love it so much.

[Donut Operator]

We're gonna need another 30 rack.

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh, God, no.

[Brandon Herrera]

Going into overtime.

[Cody]

Actually, that 30 rack really disappeared.

[Donut Operator]

Okay, we got another one. We got another one.

[Junkyard Digs]

I do not like the taste.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm not gonna lie. This one's. I think we're skunked.

[Junkyard Digs]

That was the problem.

[Donut Operator]

I did a video on Coca Cola. Cola. Fluck is editing it right now.

[Cody]

You were telling me about that.

[Junkyard Digs]

It is aggressive, like, with the cocaine side.

[Donut Operator]

I thought that the cocaine part was going to be the most interesting.

[Junkyard Digs]

No, they've done a lot.

[Donut Operator]

It went way harder than I thought the entire time. I want to know, bro.

[Junkyard Digs]

First of all, Santa Claus.

[Cody]

Yes.

[Donut Operator]

Throw out a guess at who invented Coca Cola and why. Just give her a shot in the dark, Killer. Nope. We'll get there. War veteran, but go further back. Just go ahead. Pick. Pick a war. I'll tell you if it's the right war.

[Junkyard Digs]

Civil War.

[Donut Operator]

Yep.

[Junkyard Digs]

Which a general?

[Donut Operator]

Colonel Custard. No, it's not a guy you'd know, but it was a Confederate colonel that got a saber wound at the Battle of Columbus. And because he got a saber wound, they're like, this motherfucker's gonna die. They doped him up with a bunch of morphine. He survived, but then he got addicted to morphine. And he also got his medical degree when he was 19. So he's like, being addicted to morphine is bad. I gotta figure out how to cure this cocaine. So he's like, you know what I should do? The only thing I can find is this cocoa wine, which is popular in France. It's called Vin Mariani. And he's like, I like it. And it was cocaine and wine.

[Eli Double Tap]

He just moved his addiction from one to the other.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

From uppers to downers. It's called Homeostasis Cody.

[Brandon Herrera]

He's a man of one downer, one upper equal.

[Donut Operator]

Okay.

[Junkyard Digs]

Iosphere.

[Donut Operator]

So the only thing he could find was Vin Mariani. And he's like, this cocaine mixed with wine is pretty good. And really, like, pause.

[Junkyard Digs]

You know Biosphere. And you knew Polisher was in that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just delay for sister.

[Donut Operator]

You.

[Junkyard Digs]

I say.

[Donut Operator]

I say Biosphere.

[Junkyard Digs]

He's like, paulie Shore, you don't know.

[Fat Electrician]

Lord of the Rings?

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. How do you know Paul, but you don't know the battle of Helms Deep? Jesus Christ.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was what's on vhs, man.

[Donut Operator]

That's like, the one movie where we be having sex. But we're gonna have to finish this part later. Helms Deep is on candle just showing up. We're gonna have to pause.

[Brandon Herrera]

I've also never seen Biosphere. I don't know.

[Fat Electrician]

I just walked into the rings.

[Donut Operator]

So whatever the plot is, Coca Cola was invented by a Confederate colonel that got a saber wound in the Civil War, got addicted to morphine. And he's like, I got to cure my morphine addiction.

[Brandon Herrera]

Cocaine.

[Donut Operator]

So he started drinking cocoa wine from France, which was cocaine and wine. But he's like, it's just not his hitting hard enough. You know what it needs? Caffeine. And it's. It's.

[Eli Double Tap]

I threw some coffee in that.

[Donut Operator]

It's cola nut and coca leaves. Coca Cola is where it comes from. So he just mixed together caffeine, wine, and cocaine and started drinking. And he's like, I don't feel like doing morphine anymore. Because I can't feel my face.

[Fat Electrician]

Holy.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't feel like anything.

[Eli Double Tap]

I want to do everything in the world right now.

[Junkyard Digs]

So happy.

[Donut Operator]

So he wants to fight. So he struggles, starts producing it, and then, like, six months later, Fulton county in Atlanta is like, we're banning alcohol. So he has to switch over to carbonated water. But it tastes like. So he just adds a bunch of sugar instead and keeps selling it as medication. Then he dies, sells it to a pharmacist, and the pharmacist is like, we're gonna market this as soda. So the pharmacist goes to all of his pharmacist buddies in Atlanta and gets the list of every person getting a medication from the pharmacy and start sending out free coupons for cocaine. Sugar, water. Everybody loves this.

[Fat Electrician]

No way.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's not just me.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, they can't get enough of it.

[Junkyard Digs]

Way better name, by the way.

[Cody]

I love it so much. If I stop drinking it, I start to shake a little bit.

[Donut Operator]

So he starts give. They start making a bunch of money. He, like, diverts a bunch of the money into advertising. So he becomes, like, the predominant coca wine salesman or whatever. And this goes from, like, 1880s till, like, 1904. And in 1904, the U.S. government, like, really cracks down on cocaine. And the reason the US Government really cracks down on cocaine is mostly racism. Oh, and how I tracked down the actual New York Times article, which I'm not even gonna say the title of.

[Cody]

But we can put it here on Pepperbox.

[Donut Operator]

It's an entire article.

[Cody]

It's not that bad.

[Eli Double Tap]

It said the word, didn't it?

[Donut Operator]

Oh, yeah. With the O at the end and then free. And that was how they referred to them for the rest of the very racist article.

[Cody]

Free.

[Donut Operator]

Holy fiends.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

Cody article goes on to explain in detail about how local law enforcement is under the impression that when a person of color does cocaine, they become impervious to bullets.

[Fat Electrician]

Terminator.

[Donut Operator]

And this was the driving factor that outlawed cocaine in the U.S. cody's like.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, they found out what Excited Delirium was in the 1900s.

[Donut Operator]

So cocaine gets banned. They take the cocaine out and just add more sugar and keep selling, killing it. And then World War II rolls around. But because they had in the 1920s, they associated themselves with Santa because they're like, what if we just get them hooked on sugar when there's two? So, like, all the people that fought In World War II loved Coca Cola. So when all the rationing was going on, sugar was one of the main things that was Rationed. So they're like, we're. We're necessary. You shouldn't ration us. And they're like, yep, that's.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's.

[Donut Operator]

That adds up. So Coca Cola was, like, the only soda that wasn't subjected to sugar rationing.

[Cody]

I wonder how much Coca Cola donated to certain senatorial campaigns.

[Donut Operator]

There was a lot of that. Also, here's where it gets super sketchy. Not only did Coca Cola do that, Coca Cola then comes around, is like, we're supporting the troops so much that we're gonna guarantee that any troop, no matter where he's at on the globe, can buy a cold, cold Coca Cola for 5 cents. They were losing money for every soda sold. But in exchange, they turned around to the government and was like, hey, it's really expensive when we're only bottling in the U.S. what if we used government tax dollars to create 65 bottling plants all over the globe? And they did it. And the US taxpayer paid for 65 new Coca Cola bottling plants. So the troops were going around giving out Cokes to all the local locals. Basically crowdfunded Coca Cola's global expansion during World War II. And while this is going on, bro, Hitler's favorite drink was Coca Cola prior to 1941, when they declared war on the US right.

[Cody]

His second favorite was liquid methamphetamine.

[Donut Operator]

This is true.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just the old Coke.

[Cody]

He won an OG Coke. He was old enough for it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

The Wayne Coke's been business worked, was they made syrup concentrate, and they would just ship the concentrated syrup to the bottling manufacturers, and they would mix it with carbonated water and bottle it. So they couldn't ship the concentrate over to Germany anymore because there was an embargo. But there was still Coca Cola bottling plants in Germany. They just couldn't get the concentrate anymore. So the German Coca Cola guys were like, well, fuck, we're gonna make our own soda out of, like, scraps of fruit and apple corn and orange peels and. And then that's where Fanta comes from.

[Fat Electrician]

That's crazy.

[Eli Double Tap]

So Hitler really did create Fanta.

[Donut Operator]

Literally created Fanta.

[Cody]

I'm thinking of Those, like, early 2000s, like, Fanta commercials where you got, like, the. The belly dancers, like, dancing around all that.

[Fat Electrician]

It kind of sounded a little bit German, now that I'm thinking about it.

[Cody]

I want someone to deep fake Hitler's face over all the girls.

[Brandon Herrera]

Wasn't there Volkswagen in that end?

[Fat Electrician]

I think there was.

[Eli Double Tap]

They had a tune back there like, Fanta.

[Cody]

I just. Somebody needs to deep fake A very serious Hitler.

[Fat Electrician]

Somebody's gonna do it.

[Cody]

Fanta's heart goes out to us.

[Donut Operator]

It gets worse. So the way I frame the video is Coca Cola is the biggest psyop of all time. It went from marketing into the territory of psyops. So like they already co opted Santa Claus in the middle 1920s. Right. They go through World War II. They're immensely popular with the boomer generation or baby boomer generation because they were like, that was the one cold drink I got while I was away at the war. This shit's awesome. They supported the troops.

[Eli Double Tap]

Is Santa a Nazi?

[Donut Operator]

No, no.

[Junkyard Digs]

You. He's really not getting on. Santa is how you picture Santa. Red. All that is Coca Cola. They created Santa.

[Donut Operator]

Yes, Santa. But they created like they created a significant modern image of Santa. Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Kris Kringle might drink cocaine.

[Cody]

Yes.

[Donut Operator]

So in the 70s, how do you.

[Cody]

Think he goes to all the houses in the middle of the night?

[Brandon Herrera]

Tired of northern half the globe no longer has copper. Everyone wakes up, presents white as waterwork.

[Donut Operator]

My kid got a toy and now my car is out as.

[Fat Electrician]

Jeez.

[Cody]

He didn't touch the cookies and milk, but he took your Catalan converter.

[Brandon Herrera]

Coca Cola, ladies and gentlemen.

[Cody]

The copper, though definitely.

[Brandon Herrera]

That was pretty good Power bush light, folks.

[Donut Operator]

So in the 19, like 70s, all the studies were coming out being like, maybe children drinking sugar water is bad for them.

[Eli Double Tap]

No way.

[Donut Operator]

And they got really strict on how you can target kids in advertising. So Coca Cola is like, we won't target kids with advertising. We're just going to make a bunch of toys with Coca Cola and convince everybody that polar bears are friendly and dick off in the northern hemisphere and drink Coke and Santa Claus and everything else. But they wanted to take it a step further. So in 1982 they bought Columbia Pictures, the entire movie studio for $750 million.

[Eli Double Tap]

Which at the time Columbia, that, that was one of the. That was the biggest, the biggest movie studio he won.

[Donut Operator]

So every drink in every Columbia movies picture from the 80s has subliminal AD placements in it. In the Karate Kid, he's drinking minute made orange juice at breakfast, which is owned by Coca Cola. He drinks a sprite while Mr. Miyagi's training him. And it's like a whole thing where Ralph Macchio, like was protesting all these subliminal ad placements and like covered up the Sprite logo with his hand completely. Coca Cola made him refilm the scene.

[Cody]

No.

[Donut Operator]

It was so well known in Hollywood in the 1980s, Clint Eastwood refused to let any Coca Cola products in Any of his movies. Because he was mad that they cast Ralph Macchio instead of his son as the Karate Kid. And he blamed Coca Cola for it. Like the Ghostbusters. Like, you got to win a free ectomobile if you drank enough Coke. Like, yeah, all the 1980s movies.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was there for that.

[Junkyard Digs]

All of it.

[Fat Electrician]

Damn.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was. It's always been Coke. It was all.

[Eli Double Tap]

Now I'm thinking about it.

[Junkyard Digs]

Advertising back in the day.

[Fat Electrician]

That's crazy.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'll probably call you Nick.

[Fat Electrician]

I love how much random. You know? Like, obviously, we all kind of know that coke used to be in Coca Cola. You go deep, like, why. How does this tie into Nazis somehow?

[Brandon Herrera]

Is this main channel, or is this Fat File?

[Donut Operator]

This is Fat Files.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, you're actually doing my favorite part.

[Donut Operator]

No, it's already done. Floyd's editing it right now.

[Brandon Herrera]

Good. No offense. I don't have to watch it now.

[Fat Electrician]

So did you add, like, articles, or did you want to get monetized?

[Donut Operator]

Oh, no, I had the. I. I have the article from 1904, but I told Fluck to blur out certain words.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, the video is actually sponsored by Pepsi.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, I end the video with. I can feel the cease and desist in the mail already.

[Cody]

That's all right. It can't be worse than Sig.

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh, yeah. You had your video come out.

[Donut Operator]

How'd that go for you? I watched it last night at the hotel.

[Cody]

I can still start my car.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, that's good.

[Fat Electrician]

Nothing blows up.

[Cody]

Yeah. Looking at all the Irish in the.

[Donut Operator]

In the room, I just wouldn't jump it. They're just really good at making shit go boom when it drops. Yeah.

[Cody]

Yeah. They were gonna drop the issue, but they learned their lesson. My thing, I think I said at the end of the video, I'm like, yeah, by the way, Sig, if you need an address to send the cease and desist to, let me know.

[Junkyard Digs]

You went hard on that video. You went proper.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, it was very proper. I watched it yesterday, and I. I basically.

[Cody]

I also, like, detailed where, like, why their marketing guy can't admit that there was ever a problem.

[Brandon Herrera]

Right.

[Cody]

Because it's gonna. Them in the ongoing litigation that they have for the issues they had with the. They're still in court for a lot of those. So if they admit fault, they're admitting fault in court. It's like that's. It's gonna be used against them. I understand it. You didn't have to say anything.

[Brandon Herrera]

Right.

[Cody]

And you sure as shit didn't have to gaslight your audience and say that you're anti gun grand grifters.

[Fat Electrician]

That was funny.

[Cody]

If you can read.

[Fat Electrician]

That was.

[Donut Operator]

How did it go? Watch a video.

[Fat Electrician]

Exactly.

[Junkyard Digs]

How did any of that go to the. Because it had to pass hands. Like, is this post okay?

[Fat Electrician]

That guy lost his job for sure.

[Donut Operator]

They were hiring on.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, really?

[Donut Operator]

They were hiring for a new marketing agent on. Indeed. Yeah.

[Cody]

Well, so I don't know because, like, a couple, like, a week later, which I'm glad because we were gonna go to Q and I was gonna film that video before, and I didn't. I didn't get a chance to. And I had to film it after. But while we were at Q, they released the. The truth about the P320 continued. Like, they doubled down.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, my God.

[Cody]

It's like the.

[Donut Operator]

The meme.

[Cody]

It's like when I'm in a making things worse competition and my opponent is sick.

[Brandon Herrera]

Dude.

[Cody]

But, yeah, no, I recorded it after that while we were there at Q. Like, a lot of their employees are former SIG guys. Like, former SIG engineers. We all knew about it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

Like. Yeah, no, that's the thing. Don't drop them. You'll be fine.

[Junkyard Digs]

That is wild.

[Fat Electrician]

That's crazy.

[Junkyard Digs]

I still like True Lies, that video.

[Fat Electrician]

The what?

[Junkyard Digs]

The True life.

[Cody]

She drops.

[Junkyard Digs]

Every 320.

[Fat Electrician]

We just purchased guns to kind of fuck around and find out what's gonna happen. Happen.

[Donut Operator]

So we. I ran into him at a gun store, oddly enough.

[Brandon Herrera]

Ran into.

[Fat Electrician]

It's Iowa. There's only seven other people.

[Junkyard Digs]

It's about to happen, me and him.

[Donut Operator]

And so we're going to do a video on fat. It has to be fat Pe. We can't do this on.

[Fat Electrician]

Definitely.

[Donut Operator]

We can't do it on YouTube. So it's going to be fat pews. We have a Glock 19 and a P320. We're just going to load them with blanks, and then we're going to, like, overhand them at a brick wall. And then he has a grain bin silo, and at one of his locations, we're gonna yeet it off the top of a silo on the concrete, see if we can get them to go off.

[Cody]

Let me know, because I got notes. I know exactly which ones have problems.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, I. I think we need an old one, like the first gen that actually had the issues because I think they fixed it with a new one.

[Cody]

The fat triggers and everything like that. Because. Well, here's the thing. That's what we were hearing at Q is like, all the band Aid fixes they put on it because they Couldn't admit they had a problem. That's. That's what me up about it, where they're like. Like, it could never have done this. This never happened. You're crazy. You. Honey, you love being gaslit. No, they did their voluntary upgrade, so you don't drop it and shoot yourself. It's like. Well, it's not a recall.

[Fat Electrician]

It's a volunteer recall. Anything.

[Junkyard Digs]

You guys are wearing the same shirt, and then both of your left jacket pockets are curled the same.

[Cody]

Yeah, we ironed them in the morning together.

[Eli Double Tap]

We make sure we match.

[Brandon Herrera]

Or right corner.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, we call each other up.

[Junkyard Digs]

I just need, like, the curls up.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm like, why?

[Donut Operator]

I'm like. I'm like. I'm slightly drunk, but now I'm like, I want to go open those curtains. And if it's bricked over, I know I'm gonna have to fight. Agent Smith.

[Fat Electrician]

I'm having a minor panic.

[Junkyard Digs]

Attack right now, actually. I was like, why are both of the.

[Cody]

We had to steer into the business.

[Donut Operator]

Did you see the same thing twice.

[Brandon Herrera]

By the way, Eli? I did see that one. Oh, you saw the Matrix. That was cool.

[Cody]

Right after Triple X.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just the. Actually, yeah, probably same week.

[Donut Operator]

Holy. Can we get another 30 rack of bush light over here?

[Fat Electrician]

We're not doing that.

[Brandon Herrera]

I love you.

[Cody]

Use the fridge here.

[Fat Electrician]

I'm doing better.

[Junkyard Digs]

Come on, guys.

[Brandon Herrera]

God dang it. Your wrist and grab from any angle.

[Fat Electrician]

I don't know why you open it with your mouth, though. That was kind of weird. Are you talking?

[Cody]

They love it when you bite the chest.

[Eli Double Tap]

Now, guys, we're. We're winding down, like a really.

[Donut Operator]

I mean, we didn't even get a couple of days.

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah, we haven't even talked about demos.

[Donut Operator]

Last day, so, like, yeah, all of.

[Eli Double Tap]

Our friends are going to be leaving tomorrow, the next day, and we're winding down. Demos last.

[Fat Electrician]

Nobody pulled out.

[Cody]

We basically spent the last.

[Junkyard Digs]

You weren't going to out gauge?

[Donut Operator]

I was a medic in the army. You're not going to out gauge me.

[Eli Double Tap]

You won't suck my bro.

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah. Was like, I got.

[Donut Operator]

You joke about shoving things up men's asses. I've done it for a job. Okay.

[Brandon Herrera]

Definitely not.

[Eli Double Tap]

No silver bullets.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, you got heat stroke again.

[Fat Electrician]

We're gonna see anybody?

[Brandon Herrera]

Fish cans. Oh, yeah, fish cans. Not even ice fish.

[Donut Operator]

No.

[Brandon Herrera]

Wait a minute.

[Eli Double Tap]

We don't normally drink this much.

[Cody]

Wink.

[Fat Electrician]

No. I don't know what the. That's a pterodactyl.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think that's actually called a. Connor.

[Donut Operator]

We're Catholic.

[Fat Electrician]

We don't have those in Ireland.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't know. Haven't seen a fish fly. We get the pass on Friday.

[Junkyard Digs]

So are capybaras.

[Cody]

Have you heard that story?

[Junkyard Digs]

No.

[Cody]

You don't know the capybara fish story?

[Donut Operator]

No.

[Eli Double Tap]

People eat capybaras.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Cody]

So no, like puppies.

[Junkyard Digs]

The.

[Donut Operator]

The.

[Cody]

I've got a copy bear story I can't tell on the podcast. That's how you.

[Junkyard Digs]

The Spanish and Portuguese showed up in South America back in the 1500s.

[Brandon Herrera]

Shirt on. Thank you.

[Fat Electrician]

Why are you fixing your belly button telling this story.

[Brandon Herrera]

You don't have a baby to feel kick. What are you doing?

[Junkyard Digs]

Nick told me to talk directly into the camera.

[Brandon Herrera]

A little lower.

[Junkyard Digs]

There you go.

[Brandon Herrera]

Perfect.

[Cody]

Feels natural.

[Brandon Herrera]

A little more actually in front of the camera. There you go. Very nice.

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh, I might have to take a.

[Brandon Herrera]

Do that later.

[Cody]

So back in the 1500s, the Spanish and Portuguese showed up in South America, and they're all Catholic. You know, the Pope divided the earth. You know about that, right? Okay, separate story.

[Brandon Herrera]

We'll just pretend. That's fine. Yeah, well, I'm Catholic. My favorite game is pretend.

[Eli Double Tap]

All right, where did the capybara touch you, Connor, please tell us.

[Fat Electrician]

Right here.

[Brandon Herrera]

Right.

[Fat Electrician]

Your belly button.

[Cody]

You're squeezing your belly button.

[Eli Double Tap]

What happened with the capybara?

[Fat Electrician]

Jesus Christ.

[Cody]

Back on the capybara story.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Cody]

So they showed up in South America.

[Junkyard Digs]

And they saw this big, big dumb rat. It's adorable. We've all seen.

[Eli Double Tap]

They're all adorable.

[Cody]

Yeah, they're a cute little animal, but.

[Junkyard Digs]

They got that same face where they're like.

[Eli Double Tap]

They're dumb as.

[Cody]

And so the Spanish and Portuguese wrote a letter back to the Pope and.

[Junkyard Digs]

They, like, shipped it back across the.

[Cody]

Ocean, which back in those days, it took, you know, three months or whatever.

[Junkyard Digs]

And they were like, hey, there's this thing. It spends most of its life in.

[Cody]

The water because they're like a semi aquatic.

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah, it's a big rat.

[Cody]

And the Pope was like, spins life in water. That's a fish. So they were allowed to eat these big stinking rats all week long. Because back then it wasn't just a Friday thing. It was like. Or no, it was just a Friday thing. But yeah, I'm drunk, guys.

[Eli Double Tap]

Hey, hey.

[Junkyard Digs]

They got one. He's like, most definitely looks like a.

[Fat Electrician]

Is a furry.

[Junkyard Digs]

It is a dog.

[Cody]

It was entirely dependent on the amount of time.

[Fat Electrician]

Don't act like it's the first time you haven't eaten furry fish.

[Brandon Herrera]

Conor, can I make a joke?

[Eli Double Tap]

Thank Christ. They didn't look like children, so.

[Junkyard Digs]

No.

[Cody]

Your kid doesn't go to public school. If your child goes to public school, statistically, they are vastly more. More likely to be by a public.

[Junkyard Digs]

School teacher than a Catholic priest.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was just trying to poke your belly.

[Cody]

Thank you. Is it like. Is it like your hot Spanish teacher, like, what's up?

[Fat Electrician]

If we're gonna talk about religion right.

[Junkyard Digs]

Now, there's one religion I take issue with.

[Cody]

Oh, God.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, no.

[Eli Double Tap]

Back in.

[Fat Electrician]

That's a pterodactyl.

[Brandon Herrera]

Pterodactyl? Yeah. I've never seen a flying fish, but I've seen people.

[Fat Electrician]

That's a pterodactyl.

[Eli Double Tap]

My heart goes out, too.

[Fat Electrician]

And now back in later. Anyways, we started with Demolition Ranch's last video and then somehow it turned into that. What were you guys talking about?

[Donut Operator]

Rats or vegetables and demo.

[Fat Electrician]

Retired party fish.

[Donut Operator]

We went to his retirement party.

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was trying to explain our alcoholism real quick because there's 40 bushes bush life.

[Brandon Herrera]

This is social.

[Donut Operator]

This is an Iowa. Calm down.

[Cody]

That's just the Midwesterners.

[Donut Operator]

Jesus Christ.

[Brandon Herrera]

This is what we do. We stand in a circle and the middle fills up with beer cans.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

And you have piss tubes.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Cody]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, you don't want to break the seal.

[Donut Operator]

Of course they have piss funnels. You guys got piss funnels, like, out.

[Brandon Herrera]

The side of the garage?

[Cody]

That's exactly what you're talking about.

[Donut Operator]

I'm not making this up.

[Brandon Herrera]

The side of you take. Usually, yeah. You don't buy them. Find one in a shed or someone's grandpa's got one. But they've got a big funnel for a tractor to fill it with oil. Just shove it through a mouse hole inside.

[Cody]

We thought you were with us.

[Fat Electrician]

The farm I grew up on, everybody does it. Yeah, that's the thing.

[Brandon Herrera]

You want to walk outside where it's cold.

[Eli Double Tap]

Has anyone ever through the piss tube?

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm having been drunk enough, I'm gonna say no. They're not.

[Donut Operator]

You know how many pisses it's going to take to pressure wash that dribble one?

[Junkyard Digs]

More important, you guys are like, why would you go outside?

[Donut Operator]

We're going to need more push lights.

[Brandon Herrera]

The only reason.

[Fat Electrician]

Detach. Correct.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're not in your house.

[Cody]

God damn it. Nick, that urinal again?

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Fat Electrician]

For real.

[Donut Operator]

Guy, have you seen the percentage of Bush light sold in Iowa compared to the rest?

[Fat Electrician]

No.

[Junkyard Digs]

No, no.

[Fat Electrician]

Why the we know that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Doesn'T drink a ton of Bush Light. Fun fact. The other spot I have found that does drink a lot of Bush light is Florida.

[Fat Electrician]

What?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yep. Didn't see that.

[Donut Operator]

Makes Sense.

[Fat Electrician]

I thought they did that. Which I think they drink.

[Brandon Herrera]

I really want to be.

[Eli Double Tap]

Looks like Florida has Florida man. What do you call, like, Iowa man then?

[Brandon Herrera]

No, we don't have.

[Eli Double Tap]

They're just big and you don't want to.

[Brandon Herrera]

There's something about the runt of Iowa.

[Fat Electrician]

Like, I'm sitting in between you 2.

[Donut Operator]

Is the 9th most popular beer in the United States. Most of its sales occur in Iowa.

[Cody]

Like, genuinely. Why?

[Fat Electrician]

Because of him.

[Donut Operator]

Well, this is cheap as you can find.

[Junkyard Digs]

30 packs.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, it was.

[Eli Double Tap]

How long you been sitting on.

[Cody]

On that? Just.

[Donut Operator]

Just like P saying in Iowa. I didn't make that up. It's literally called the nectar of the cobs. Like it's on billboard marketing in Iowa. There's like billboards instead of cobs of corn. It's Bush lights on the corn fridge handles.

[Cody]

The audience is going to hate this episode because, like now we're all just talking over each other. So, like, we're having like three different Converses.

[Brandon Herrera]

Sorry, editor guy.

[Donut Operator]

Anyway, Anyways. Oh, no.

[Brandon Herrera]

Before we go that far, we gotta explain the Bush Light thing a little bit. Yes. Why it's popular in Iowa. I do have a theory to that. I think Cody nailed it a little bit. It was cheap at one point and 30 bucks.

[Donut Operator]

Well, no, it actually goes back to the revolutionary Colonel Senior Bush Light junior ii.

[Cody]

Oh, John C. Bush Light.

[Fat Electrician]

John C. Bush.

[Brandon Herrera]

Larry, Hot dog.

[Junkyard Digs]

I believe you.

[Brandon Herrera]

Wait, what?

[Fat Electrician]

There's a thing behind this. I thought we all just hated Old.

[Cody]

Mill, but it was dushlight. Named after Colonel Light and his big ass bus.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, it's the farm crisis and all the. In the. So, okay, Iowa had a really rough time in the 80s, especially if you drive around north Iowa.

[Cody]

They're still having a rough time.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, I wasn't horny.

[Brandon Herrera]

If you drive around north Iowa, we are all from. You will see abandoned farms everywhere. Unlike Wisconsin, who was supported all dairy up there. We were. Grain. Grain was not supported. It was kind of just hung out to dry. Dairy was supported and thus the cheese caves and stuff existed. Government cheese exists.

[Fat Electrician]

Don't get them on fucking cheese.

[Donut Operator]

There's no government corn. Era.

[Eli Double Tap]

You had to mention the cheese, dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

The boats are fine. Don't touch the cheese. They came in and rescued dairy, but that's all they did. And they didn't touch much for grain. So in north Iowa and all. Iowa where side. Fun fact. If Iowa was its own nation, it would be second in the world for corn production. First being the rest of the United States.

[Eli Double Tap]

It was like a. Like a bailout type thing. They did the dairy.

[Cody]

Like government. Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

They bailed out.

[Cody]

Well, they're continuously bailing out. Like it was a thing for a long time.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Even probably still in some senses, there's still dairy farms falling off, but they didn't touch grain. So Iowa got hit hard, the 80s, which is fun because I was not fun. It was terrible. But I talked. I talked to people and they're like, man, the 80s were great. We had three wheelers and fox bodies and hair bands and all that. And I've always just been confused because being raised for years, you wouldn't have been in the area at the time. You would have. Maybe Minnesota. You. Yep. Which was a little still water area.

[Donut Operator]

It was like corn but gay. Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, you would have been. You. You were a mix farm down in.

[Cody]

Southern Minnesota, which is.

[Fat Electrician]

Oh, really the same thing.

[Brandon Herrera]

Is it? They still have it, though. It made it all the way through. No, they lost it in the.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

In the 80s. To the farm. The farm crisis. Where the was I going with that?

[Junkyard Digs]

I don't know.

[Cody]

Everybody in the 80s was broken, so they sort of. By a bush light.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's. Yeah, basically. It gets cooler, though. There's a few. Well, it gets cooler. Oh, well, not really, but it gets.

[Cody]

Explains second verbal juke you've done in the last three minutes.

[Brandon Herrera]

It explains more things that are still a thing that are around today. Marcus real growing up, dad was always like, the 80s were terrible. He didn't want to be around the 80s. And then you talk to anyone else that was not in literally north Iowa and they're like, man, the 80s were Christmas. Great. I would love to go back.

[Junkyard Digs]

You guys suffered, though.

[Brandon Herrera]

They suffered hard.

[Junkyard Digs]

See.

[Brandon Herrera]

Shut up.

[Junkyard Digs]

Ireland.

[Brandon Herrera]

Potato pbr. No, they're over here.

[Cody]

Like, oh, yeah.

[Junkyard Digs]

Wow.

[Cody]

You had your one crop dry.

[Brandon Herrera]

We don't know what the.

[Junkyard Digs]

That's like abandoned farm.

[Brandon Herrera]

The 80s were rough. They. So perhaps we would. Pabst Blue Ribbon pbr. What was another one we were talking about?

[Cody]

Oh, Jake just left Natty Light probably.

[Brandon Herrera]

There'S some of that.

[Fat Electrician]

But Natural Mill is still pretty beer.

[Brandon Herrera]

That you could buy for Keystone. $8 for a 24 pack became popular and has thus taken a hold in that region. Push Light likely being one of them. Which is funny because now it's actually more expensive than Iowa. In Iowa than you can go to Missouri and get a 30.

[Eli Double Tap]

It used to be a proper country.

[Brandon Herrera]

$20 and it's like $32. It's more than a dollar a beer show.

[Donut Operator]

When was the Irish potato famine that was 18. So in Ireland there's a monument. It's like three big feathers. It's like really pretty big monument. But it's a monument in Ireland to commemorate the financial support that Ireland received from the native American nation of America in the 1800s. It's just that like God damn the native. You were so rough off in the 1800s that the Native Americans of America were like God damn, we gotta help these people.

[Brandon Herrera]

Put us anywhere we can.

[Cody]

You had really good ambassadors though. Like John. No potato Christ. Sorry.

[Junkyard Digs]

Just leave that in.

[Cody]

That was just free space and bingo.

[Fat Electrician]

Dude.

[Eli Double Tap]

You keep telling me to cut stuff.

[Donut Operator]

Cody's wearing the same shirt and he's sweating.

[Junkyard Digs]

God damn.

[Donut Operator]

So anyways, demo retired.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Cody]

That'S right.

[Brandon Herrera]

We're doing a podcast.

[Eli Double Tap]

We talk why we're all hanging out real quick.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, yeah, let's get to the intro now.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, so I.

[Cody]

No, no bush light.

[Donut Operator]

I had, I had delicious tacos on the way and the entire time I was my pants cuz I was like I'm going to be late. Filming starts at 10 and I was supposed to get there at like 9:57. So I'm speeding the entire way and there's like same 35 minutes, going 85 miles an hour, no cars in front of me and I have no cell service out in the middle of nowhere in Texas. I was like there's no way I'm going to the right spot. Absolutely no way. And eventually I looked behind me. There's like 27 cars behind me. Like oh, I'm the first one here late.

[Fat Electrician]

That's right behind you.

[Donut Operator]

I don't know, it's just weird. I come rolling up through drive tanks and there's like one of those. I don't even know what kind of animal it was. Was some kind of weird African deer with like curly horns that were like 30ft tall. Tried to square up on my forerunner. Like it was a thin. He was like looking at me like.

[Brandon Herrera]

Good thing it didn't it. You would have to get it. You would have told the car price of the animal alone.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, it's a $37,000 go.

[Donut Operator]

You drive through drive tank. It's like going to redneck Jurassic Park. You're like, I'm just trying to shoot a Sherman tank, bro. There's rhinos and giraffes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well what do you want to shoot with that Sherman tank?

[Eli Double Tap]

I love every single one of you but have you realized we've not given any context as to why we're here?

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, that's a great point.

[Eli Double Tap]

Demolition Ranch did his last video at Drive Tanks. So we went up there and there's a bunch of exotic animals and tanks there. Please continue.

[Donut Operator]

And like, I'm with my dad, who's never played a video game in his life other than Dig Dug. And I try. I'm making. I'm making hilarious jokes the entire time. They're just going right over his head. Like, I'm driving through. There's like all these weird animals. There's a wildebeest, but the ground is just like fluorescent yellow in a 30 foot diameter circle. And I was like, every fiber in my being is telling me I need to go shoot that animal. And my dad is just like, huh? I don't get it. I was like, God damn it. Okay, whatever. It's just pure comedy. The whole time he did.

[Fat Electrician]

I don't get it. Either that Call of Duty or nothing legendary item.

[Eli Double Tap]

What's this early horn guy, though? Is that a kudu or.

[Donut Operator]

I don't know. Try to square off my horn.

[Eli Double Tap]

Kudu has kudu. Doo doo.

[Cody]

There's like 18 species of animal out at Drive Towns. Then I'm just very confident. I'm just like, oh, it's a gazelle. Oh, that's a different gazelle.

[Brandon Herrera]

There's a weird gazelle.

[Cody]

That's a brown gazelle.

[Junkyard Digs]

They do have. They have.

[Fat Electrician]

And I were drowning driving in this morning. I'm like, what kind of dog is that? And he's like, I think that's a gazelle. I'm like, oh.

[Brandon Herrera]

My son wasn't kudu. It's a good thing you didn't hit it.

[Donut Operator]

I found out 30 grand.

[Brandon Herrera]

$28,000. Holy.

[Donut Operator]

I found out my dad's allergic to rhinos.

[Fat Electrician]

How'd you do that?

[Donut Operator]

Did he try to sign. Took my dad at the end of the day and was like, mike, you want to go pet a rhino? And my dad's like, oh, sure, whatever. Blah, blah, blah.

[Brandon Herrera]

What?

[Donut Operator]

And Zach shows up to the rhino pen and like whistles.

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah, the rhino king Zach, dude.

[Donut Operator]

He was calling the rhinos rhinos come over. And my dad's petting a rhino. He woke up this morning, his eyes were glued shut. He's allergic to rhinos.

[Cody]

You know, there is a non 0% chance you are the first person from Iowa to figure that out.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, 100% later, he took the other one islands over to pet the rhinos. Me. He's like, hey, you want to pet a rhino?

[Fat Electrician]

I didn't pet a rhinos.

[Brandon Herrera]

We all did it again.

[Donut Operator]

You didn't pet a rhino?

[Fat Electrician]

I didn't petter.

[Donut Operator]

They had horns and everything.

[Brandon Herrera]

It felt like the top of a 76 Oldsmobile. Like that leather vinyl top. Same thing. Same thing.

[Junkyard Digs]

I swear to God, five people in the audience know what you're talking about.

[Brandon Herrera]

And now you don't have to pet a rhino. You're welcome. Just find an Oldsmobile rhino horn.

[Fat Electrician]

Tea out of the deal or way too expensive probably.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't know. You want to know how much it was to shoot a rhino?

[Eli Double Tap]

His white ass would not survive in Africa.

[Junkyard Digs]

There's the number.

[Brandon Herrera]

That'S not on the menu. Call to order. Call.

[Fat Electrician]

Okay, that makes sense.

[Brandon Herrera]

They have. Oh, this is fun for the islands. Native game. Did you see that section? Whitetail? You know, the ones the size are Labradors out here.

[Donut Operator]

Whitetail here suck.

[Brandon Herrera]

I do. Yeah. We've drank more bush light. Do you have volumetric mass of a whitetail?

[Fat Electrician]

How much does a whitetail drink?

[Donut Operator]

This is true.

[Brandon Herrera]

Three thousand to seventeen and a half thousand dollars.

[Donut Operator]

You come to Iowa with a crowd, headlights, you can kill a white deer for free.

[Brandon Herrera]

I mean, you can take out a herd of white deer, a whitetail, and your deductible be less than anything on this options list. And you get a new car. Yeah.

[Cody]

Sir, all of the ones that you hit with your car were shot first.

[Fat Electrician]

Why is so that's actually happened. Like, if you hit a deer in Iowa and it's suffering, you're allowed to get out and, like, put it out of its misery.

[Brandon Herrera]

So, like, it's a real deer if.

[Fat Electrician]

It happens, nobody's gonna know if it's gonna bullet hole before or after. Nobody's gonna ask you questions.

[Brandon Herrera]

Actually, you can get salvage tags.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, exactly. Like, you can load up the deer if you hit it in Iowa. It's weird.

[Brandon Herrera]

And they're like, I don't know, $40?

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Not seven and a half.

[Fat Electrician]

It's like $10 for a salvage.

[Brandon Herrera]

And it's a real deer. Yeah, yeah. Not a pretend one.

[Fat Electrician]

They're like, hey, you might as well just take that home with you.

[Cody]

The Midwesterners have taken over the podcast.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah. This is us now.

[Eli Double Tap]

The most delicious deer on the planet Axis. We have them as pests here. You can just shoot the out of them and eat them.

[Brandon Herrera]

Unless you're.

[Fat Electrician]

Wait, that's a thing?

[Junkyard Digs]

It's five bucks.

[Cody]

Yeah.

[Junkyard Digs]

You get your hunting license here and it's 5 bucks or 25 bucks, and you can kill as many as possible.

[Fat Electrician]

What are the caliber restrictions?

[Junkyard Digs]

None.

[Fat Electrician]

We're moving to Texas.

[Eli Double Tap]

They're pests, dude.

[Cody]

You can Literally like, like hogs Axis murder them.

[Donut Operator]

You can also bait in Iowa or in Texas.

[Fat Electrician]

Okay.

[Donut Operator]

No, you can you like when I was in. So when I was in medic training, we had to go out to Camp Bullis, which is that we drove past it on the way here. Yeah, like that big military compound with the fence for like three miles. That's Camp Bullis. And when you're out there, like in the field, there's like these big. It's like a big tripod with a 20 gallon tank on top. It's. It's like dog kibble. It spins out. You're allowed to just in like a shooting shack right next to it. You're really just bait the deer to shoot them. Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

What the.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, yeah, dude.

[Junkyard Digs]

Axis and axis. You can go in neighborhoods up in by Candelia and everything. And a lot of the times it's like, oh, the axes are here. Can you just go shoot them?

[Fat Electrician]

If you have suppressors or bows and they taste.

[Junkyard Digs]

And then people. Oh, dude. That they do. Regular deer is trash. Like, trash.

[Fat Electrician]

Really?

[Donut Operator]

It's trash light.

[Cody]

I have access all in my neighborhood. And like the boombox is now whispering to me like the green goblet.

[Fat Electrician]

Hell yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, you should start trapping them and hauling them out there.

[Cody]

It's like.

[Fat Electrician]

And they're big.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, dude.

[Junkyard Digs]

And this tastes so much fucking better. But there is neighborhoods in Candelia, gated neighborhoods. You can go. And a lot of times you're like, yeah, just go shoot them.

[Fat Electrician]

Really?

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah.

[Junkyard Digs]

Just throw on knots.

[Fat Electrician]

So what is like out of state. Out of state license. Look for something like that.

[Cody]

It's a pass.

[Fat Electrician]

Can I just go ahead.

[Junkyard Digs]

Bucks.

[Cody]

Well, I, I, I'm actually not sure what the laws are here for that because the. I think if axis is still considered a pest animal, you can just gank it.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't know.

[Cody]

That's not legal advice. But I don't.

[Junkyard Digs]

I know here you just had. You have your hunting like license, bare minimum. That's it. And you can go to Walmart and get that.

[Fat Electrician]

Right, Right. I mean, you can pull out your phone and get a hunting license in most states. But Nick, you have never been hunting before. So we got to change whether it's an Axis deer in Texas or a whitetail and Iowa, we gotta make it happen.

[Brandon Herrera]

Maybe a small game like a raccoon or a rabbit. You've shot before two human beings, but.

[Fat Electrician]

Never an animal before.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, no, he saved those elk rarely.

[Fat Electrician]

That's what I said.

[Brandon Herrera]

Other way around.

[Cody]

On.

[Brandon Herrera]

He's actually Added to his quota, he's a positive number.

[Cody]

Like raccoons, possums, squirrels, hookers, something.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, don't shoot. What? There's a don't shoot on that list, and I'm thinking possums.

[Donut Operator]

I never shot them.

[Brandon Herrera]

Wait, those are great.

[Fat Electrician]

I was picturing, like, a little sheep with.

[Junkyard Digs]

No, there's huge.

[Cody]

That's a big.

[Junkyard Digs]

That's. Dude can tell you. You can get them. They're massive out there.

[Fat Electrician]

I didn't know that.

[Junkyard Digs]

Back road and drive. There was one time. One time, and it showed. Shoot the guy.

[Brandon Herrera]

I didn't have a gun.

[Junkyard Digs]

I was driving. He's just standing in the middle of the road. I had to slam with the brakes, too, in the morning. I was like, ah.

[Eli Double Tap]

He's like, you were inconveniencing him, dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was like, cool.

[Donut Operator]

I don't have a gun.

[Junkyard Digs]

I want to shoot it so bad. Just. They've like 42. I forget.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's a real deer.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Those aren't the little tiny things I saw. That were $6,000 out there.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, the whitetails out there were.

[Brandon Herrera]

We do have a 2,500 Tahoe, which is still cheap. Cheaper than the opposite. Yeah, we can just go mow down whatever's walking around.

[Donut Operator]

What caliber El Jefe LS?

[Junkyard Digs]

They're deer.

[Brandon Herrera]

5.3.

[Junkyard Digs]

Antlers are 30. 30 to 36 inches.

[Brandon Herrera]

They're big.

[Donut Operator]

Let's go kill deer.

[Cody]

All right. Give me my back.

[Donut Operator]

You can't say that. You have to bleep out those words, by the way. You have to. Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Those ones again.

[Donut Operator]

Apparently, if you say that, you're demonetized.

[Cody]

So that's the YouTube's other N word.

[Donut Operator]

Yes. And I had a conversation with our rep. Oh. Today about it.

[Cody]

We're talking about the things that drop down.

[Fat Electrician]

Go.

[Donut Operator]

You also can't say no D s.

[Brandon Herrera]

I already just said it. Sorry.

[Donut Operator]

You have to say white phosphorus tubes.

[Brandon Herrera]

What the.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, apparently you can't say it at all or you're immediately demonetized.

[Cody]

That is the gayest ever.

[Donut Operator]

I agree.

[Junkyard Digs]

However, you can say that statement right there, but just fine. N O D S. Wow.

[Cody]

It's like a child that can't spell. The way we're treating the YouTube algorithm.

[Junkyard Digs]

Like, what the.

[Eli Double Tap]

I just love growing up around or being around a lot of our friends here. They're like, yeah, we went to war. We got shot, we killed people. And our war has been YouTube the past 10 years.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

They wouldn't let us say.

[Junkyard Digs]

We have bleep chase.

[Cody]

We have a YouTube cab.

[Junkyard Digs]

What is It.

[Cody]

Oh, no, it's.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's the.

[Cody]

The stripes. It's just red, white, red. The other N word is. All right, Finn, sorry.

[Brandon Herrera]

Get the beep. But like, it.

[Cody]

Not being able to say is, that's.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's dumb. Or like some of the other things we were talking about, like what.

[Brandon Herrera]

Can we change what we're saying unless they watch it.

[Donut Operator]

No, you can't. By the way.

[Brandon Herrera]

You don't take it.

[Junkyard Digs]

Personal, though, where Chase is like, I'm gonna just delete this entire part. All the words we can't say right now.

[Cody]

No, we should keep it in because that's stupid.

[Junkyard Digs]

I mean, you gotta just bleep them out.

[Cody]

Yeah, yeah, bleep them out. But like, like, that is so stupid. That actually bothers me.

[Junkyard Digs]

They're not going to know what words.

[Brandon Herrera]

We'Re saying unless they're on pepper box.

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh, pepper box.

[Brandon Herrera]

There we go.

[Cody]

Burmal.

[Junkyard Digs]

That's.

[Cody]

How about. Holy vision. You can't say bite vision or Burmal.

[Junkyard Digs]

We fly around like a small one's.

[Fat Electrician]

Like 100 pounds of E and no, like, caliber 0 here.

[Cody]

Dude, I'm still happy on my bush light.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm. I'm going to pee. I feel bad for making five earlier in real quick. Dude, he watches this way more than I do, which means at least one episode.

[Donut Operator]

So anyways, we were at demos, retired.

[Junkyard Digs]

Wrap that up and then close out.

[Fat Electrician]

I just got up and looked at myself in the bathroom and completely forgot how absolutely filthy I am. So I. I have gotten up like four times during this podcast that I assume people are gonna be like, is this hobo doing sitting here? Dude, that pack 40 was the most insane thing I've ever seen today. That was an experience.

[Cody]

That was the most crazy, cussive artillery I've ever seen in my life.

[Brandon Herrera]

Holy.

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah, explain that story, because that was wild. I just seen the one frame of it, and you guys are very.

[Fat Electrician]

I don't even know how.

[Cody]

Yeah, that's right. You weren't there.

[Junkyard Digs]

No, but you guys were very close, dude.

[Cody]

So, like, straight up, it was like. Because Nick fired it. Like, I had equipped and Nick fired and. But I was directly in line with the event.

[Fat Electrician]

Dude, that suck.

[Cody]

It was like somebody took an open hand and slapped my liver.

[Donut Operator]

It felt like. It felt like J. Wolf picked up a twin size mattress and slapped my entire front side with it, dude.

[Fat Electrician]

I was like checking for holes.

[Donut Operator]

There was a second where I was like, I might be dead.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

It felt like everything was like I pulled the string.

[Donut Operator]

Well, you said they're minor attract And I pulled the string, and my vision was just brown from all the moon dust there. And I was like, I can't see anything.

[Cody]

Did you close your eyes?

[Brandon Herrera]

He was instantly, instantly engulfed.

[Eli Double Tap]

When you guys.

[Brandon Herrera]

You couldn't see 60ft on each side. Just didn't gone.

[Eli Double Tap]

When you guys showed me the video earlier, I was like, oh, they all got. Scott nodded.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, my dad recorded it. And after, like, right after I pulled it, my dad quit recording because he thought I died because I just disappeared into the dust immediately.

[Fat Electrician]

Crazy.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're the only person here that cared enough.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, right.

[Brandon Herrera]

18 other cameras kept going.

[Fat Electrician]

It felt like a sand blaster, like, went across my face right quick.

[Junkyard Digs]

Just chase, pull up the picture, because the fireball is.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, I'll post the picture on Instagram. But it's like a fireball on 12ft of either side. And me and Brandon are like a foot from it. We did frame by frame. It's giant fireball. And then you just see me and Brandon in the concussion wave. And Dalton is his pants.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

I didn't have any.

[Brandon Herrera]

There was no volume on my ears, so I didn't hear him say anything. I just got asked. Absolutely.

[Fat Electrician]

He was like. He was prepared as. And then all of a sudden, like, somebody's like, hey, go over here. And you guys were kind of having your conversation to be able to pull the string.

[Cody]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

And he completely looked away, and then it went off. He about dropped the camera. You still haven't changed your underwear, by the way.

[Cody]

No.

[Fat Electrician]

I can smell we're all just a.

[Eli Double Tap]

Bunch of dirty boys.

[Fat Electrician]

It was crazy. I was trying to do the cool guy doesn't look at explosion. And I did. Yeah, I. I definitely myself. It was terrifying.

[Cody]

I've shot a lot of, like, you know, tanks, explosives, whatever. That one caught me off guard for sure. But I was genuinely surprised because I shot.

[Donut Operator]

I shot the Sherman. So this was today? Yesterday was Matt's retirement. For Matt's retirement, I was the one pulling the string on the Sherman 76, which is roughly. It's a little bit smaller than the pack 40. But like. Like, the concussion was nothing compared to that pack for you.

[Fat Electrician]

I mean, it's got a better personality.

[Cody]

Well, I think it's faster, but it was also just like the concussion was the most thing I've ever experienced in my life.

[Brandon Herrera]

Do you think they packed? Were those tanks previously demilitarized and remilitarized?

[Donut Operator]

No, they weren't. Sherman's the only driving and firing Sherman on Earth. And that 40 is the only fire.

[Brandon Herrera]

Firing the rounds at half Staff to preserve the tanks.

[Cody]

That's what I'm wondering because.

[Donut Operator]

No, because my dad asked and he's like, they're like a little bit lighter than combat loads, but not much.

[Cody]

That Sherman was never demilled, ever.

[Donut Operator]

I don't.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's what I was wondering. Maybe, maybe it's weaker. Maybe they're trying to preserve it.

[Fat Electrician]

They said they couldn't hit anything with a Sherman tank though because like the longevity of the barrels is how many thousand.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, they said the, that that barrel's rated for like 200 rounds and they've shot like 5,000 through it. And that's why when we did his video today where we had to like actually hit a torso. We can't use the Sherman. We have to use the Walker Bulldog because it's our newest tank.

[Fat Electrician]

Looking down that barrel though, you like, you can see that it was a smooth bore. 12K shotgun.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, there's no rifling any, not how it was.

[Fat Electrician]

But the Bulldog, it looked like a giant gear going down. Try to get like a POV shot down it.

[Donut Operator]

Kurt Cobain also, I felt like when they were winding up the pack 40 by the way, because like the whole time we'd only been shooting tanks and I was like, how in the are these guys sighting it in so accurately? Cuz like when they were shooting, they were shooting ballistics gel heads and in slow mo you could see the nose. It was such a perfect shot. How the are they citing these in.

[Brandon Herrera]

That accurate hit a limo And I know why.

[Junkyard Digs]

And you look down the barrel.

[Donut Operator]

Well, no, you'll be able to figure.

[Cody]

It out when you a pen.

[Donut Operator]

Then he goes to say the pack 40 and there he's literally just like looking down. Looking down the barrel. He's literally bore sighting it on this.

[Fat Electrician]

You got to tell them what their objective was to get that sighted in though. Cuz it was their buddy on the other side like, hey, you stand a little bit lower. That looks great. We're like standing in the background like.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, we'll put the head where yours is.

[Fat Electrician]

How you sight these things in the.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think the limo, they didn't hit intentionally though because they put the, the bucket of gas and whatever explosives they had in it. Yeah, they were just shooting, which was cool. Still entertaining. We were like, that's interesting that it didn't like, you know, get eviscerated like we were all expecting. And then I heard the guy stop in the background. They're like, that was about perfect. We wanted some flare, but no debris because of the liability issues of having Flying at people like, oh, this was all very intentionally picked.

[Fat Electrician]

Dude. That pack 40 was.

[Cody]

The. It was the German artillery piece.

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh, during the war.

[Brandon Herrera]

Closer to the ground, underneath the tanks.

[Junkyard Digs]

That abyss.

[Donut Operator]

15 pounds stainless steel butt clock per second.

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh, dude, that. When they put that in, they basically. And then the dirt, it just exploded on that one. That was the one they shot with the ballistic dummy, right?

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, that was sitting next to it. Yeah, it was the same thing. We got a head shot with a bulldog though. That was crazy.

[Brandon Herrera]

That was insane.

[Fat Electrician]

That's got to be a first, right?

[Donut Operator]

Kevin caught it on his camera, but the. Yeah, like 60 to 80ft.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was umbrella of debris in 50 foot each direction. 60 foot high. Just like a perfect dome of bits. It was. I didn't expect to see that.

[Cody]

I found one piece.

[Fat Electrician]

Did you?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Fat Electrician]

Did it land on you or.

[Cody]

No, thankfully, yeah. Oh, I've had that before though. Like when we're filming videos where we're doing like the, the ballistic dummies and stuff like that. You're just like, all right, we do this for the take and boom.

[Brandon Herrera]

Okay, okay. Haha.

[Cody]

We do the thing and she's like picking a bit of skull out of your neck.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, I'm gonna act tough, dude.

[Fat Electrician]

I'm bleeding one of them ballistics dummy lab heads. We point blanked it with a.45 70. And obviously I gotta like keep my cool during the filming of the whole thing, but I got headbutted by that thing and it like, it sucked. My forehead was black and blue for a while, like.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, first of all, you. I was perusing through your videos the other day and I had ever seen the video where you had a clay pigeon launching machine launching as you were shooting it with a 9 millimeter pistol. You psychopath.

[Fat Electrician]

Dude. So we did that. I mean that's, that's cool. But like theoretically that's not that impressive. Like this.

[Junkyard Digs]

No, not at all.

[Brandon Herrera]

What?

[Donut Operator]

Eat a dick.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hear me out, Barnes with Pistols.

[Fat Electrician]

That's impressive. All right, so the clay pitching is coming. You're the more impressive shooter, but theoretically it's only like 10 yards away. And it's a pretty decent size. Like you're. There's no show size.

[Junkyard Digs]

Again, the decent size.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's like.

[Fat Electrician]

This is how big decent.

[Junkyard Digs]

Is flying at you, at what speed?

[Cody]

Fast.

[Brandon Herrera]

He leaves out the point where he points it at his fucking face.

[Fat Electrician]

Okay. Like so. No, it's, it's, it's all right. But theoretically there's no lead to it. You, you're able to like point at the target and Hit the thing. Like when I'm throwing something, it's a little bit different because I gotta lead it. Like I gotta shoot under it.

[Junkyard Digs]

But when it's coming at you really fast before easy.

[Fat Electrician]

Well, you got. It's just a point blank hold. You hold it on.

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah. Okay, let's have everyone in this room do this easy shot.

[Fat Electrician]

It looks difficult. Dalton can do it and he can't see anything.

[Junkyard Digs]

Now Dalton can see an ant far.

[Donut Operator]

Look at those glasses. He's got a better zoom lens than a Samsung cell phone.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, you got four times in your face.

[Cody]

Anybody can do it. Ask the Hubble telescope.

[Junkyard Digs]

Yeah, it's two of them.

[Cody]

All right.

[Fat Electrician]

All right. So the clay pigeon thing, it's kind of cool, but we got the idea to pull a string on a paintball gun facing big me and I was gonna try to shoot this paintball before it hit me.

[Brandon Herrera]

You don't tell me you actually did it.

[Fat Electrician]

I actually did it, but a iPhone won't pick it up. The paintball is going too fast. I did it. And we're gonna have the ballistic high speed come out and do it. So I'm.

[Cody]

The shitty part is what happened to the nine year old shooting him with the paintball?

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, that guy's. We got the baby curved the bullet.

[Donut Operator]

To give you if you've never seen his content. To give you an idea of how good he is at shooting. You had to go through a training course from YouTube for animal cruelty.

[Fat Electrician]

I did do that.

[Donut Operator]

Why did you have to do that?

[Fat Electrician]

Well, see, a giant carpenter bee was flying around at the range and we were trying to shoot a video and it's very interrupting. Sounded like a Apache helicopter. And Dalton's like, hey, shoot the wings off that thing. So I'm like, all right. It did a pass and I shot the wings off of it. And I posted it because that's awesome. Awesome. YouTube did not take kindly of that. They made me take a like a two hour animal abuse course to be able to keep my channel, which is crazy. It's a carpenter Be like, that's a pest.

[Brandon Herrera]

So next time don't wing it. Just.

[Fat Electrician]

Yeah, yeah, right. Some guy's got entire channel take taking out carpenter bees. He uses like a knife and a pair of scissors. Do you know what I'm talking about?

[Brandon Herrera]

I think I've seen that he holds.

[Donut Operator]

Like that's his entire clean on the high.

[Junkyard Digs]

Oh, yeah.

[Donut Operator]

All of them killed.

[Fat Electrician]

But I can't shoot one, which is some.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, you didn't shoot one. You shot its wings.

[Fat Electrician]

Yes, it's cruel. Okay, that is a little bit torture. I killed it right away. I put it out of its misery.

[Donut Operator]

How do you get good enough to shoot the. He shot the wings off.

[Fat Electrician]

At that point, it's buck. I'm obviously aiming at the bee and just happen to hit the wings. And it was cool.

[Junkyard Digs]

You shot a way to ruin.

[Donut Operator]

But you get lucky too often for it.

[Fat Electrician]

I am probably the most lucky. Lucky. Other than that guy you had last on the podcast. I'm number two. I get lucky so often with the shots.

[Donut Operator]

Like eventually it quits being luck.

[Brandon Herrera]

Home there is.

[Donut Operator]

How many rounds have you shot a month?

[Brandon Herrera]

That's what I was just gonna say. There is one thing that's not been mentioned yet.

[Donut Operator]

When did you start shooting?

[Fat Electrician]

When I was eight.

[Brandon Herrera]

How many.

[Donut Operator]

How many rounds a month do you think you've shot? On average?

[Brandon Herrera]

On average a week. How many? How often?

[Fat Electrician]

It depends. Pre, channel or right now? Give me like 5 to 10.

[Brandon Herrera]

10,000. It depends. A week?

[Fat Electrician]

No, a month. Sorry.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, no, no.

[Junkyard Digs]

Still.

[Donut Operator]

How many before the channel?

[Junkyard Digs]

How do you afford that?

[Fat Electrician]

2,000. 3,000?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. That's all he does, I think, dude.

[Fat Electrician]

It's been my addiction since.

[Brandon Herrera]

Do you want to know what I.

[Donut Operator]

Went to play Call of Duty with this. He's good at that too. He's like. He's like. I like to sit down after a long day of shooting guns and film filming by playing a video game where I shoot digital cards. I thought I was like, okay at Call of Duty. I was like. I was like 8 and 3. I was like, I'm doing pretty good. I looked at the score where he's 29 and 1.

[Brandon Herrera]

When you. When you look around, is it just moa dots?

[Fat Electrician]

No.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, you're not.

[Fat Electrician]

Actually, I can't see right now. It's really dusty out today. My eyes feel like right now.

[Cody]

We're going in the backyard right now.

[Brandon Herrera]

We'll see you guys next time by.
