Hi, everyone. Welcome to the Unsubscribe podcast. I'm joined today by Eli Double Tap, the fat electrician. Ginger Billy King Trout, my self. Donut operator. Thank you so much for being here, my man.

[Brandon]

What is up?

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, it's good to be here, fellas. 20 hour trek from South Carolina, but we're here.

[King Trout]

[Ginger Billy]

You drove? Drove, man. My boy wanted to take us a road trip for some bonding time.

[Donut Operator]

Dude, that's a rad road trip.

[Ginger Billy]

It is monsoon the whole way. Whole way. Dude. Good times.

[Donut Operator]

Did you guys stop anywhere cool that he really liked?

[Ginger Billy]

No, no, we had. We passed like 47 Buc EE's, but we did not stop at one of them. So true.

[Brandon]

Father son.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, that's it. Man. He had to pee in a bottle.

[Donut Operator]

Just AM FM radio the entire time.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, man, you know, old school. Like my daddy used to do me.

[Eli Double Tap]

You got to pee in the bottle.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, he did.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh good.

[Ginger Billy]

Actually, we were both peeing in bottles at the same time. He was in a park seat. Yeah, yeah, we were parked at a park actually.

[King Trout]

We go inside right in front of an elementary school.

[Ginger Billy]

I was in the driver's seat going down the interstate, you know. And in the body, he was in the back seat. Like I was hitting the brakes, making sure he could.

[Donut Operator]

Really?

[King Trout]

That's why you get the wide mouth.

[Ginger Billy]

Gatorade bottom truck now.

[Donut Operator]

So you got to bully your kid before someone else.

[Brandon]

Yeah, man.

[Ginger Billy]

It's only fair, you know. Make him tough.

[Brandon]

Mr. Ginger, sir. Ginger. So, huh. No, it's Billy.

[Donut Operator]

Mr. Billy to you, sir.

[Brandon]

Mr. Billy. Mr. Hilly. Now you tell the people just if you're new to you, who you are, what you do.

[Ginger Billy]

I am a stand up comedian first. Okay. Content creator second. All over YouTube, Facebook, TikTok. You Google me, you'll find me. I've been doing it for about nine years now. Started out before everybody and their mama thought they was a creator. And that's. That's what I do.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, only fans, really. Onlyfans. Girls are really monetizing the content creator.

[Ginger Billy]

They are. Man. I don't even want to call myself anymore. No, I don't even want to call myself a content creator anymore.

[Brandon]

I hate that I speak about that.

[Eli Double Tap]

I need a word that conveys the message. My dad watches my content and that's not weird. Really?

[Brandon]

What I need like God. What? The influencer?

[Donut Operator]

I hate that one.

[Brandon]

Yeah, I don't think there's any.

[Ginger Billy]

It's just not a good word, man.

[Donut Operator]

It's not.

[Ginger Billy]

Cuz I'm not influencing anybody to do anything.

[King Trout]

Every time I do it, I get called a manipulator.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, really, Right.

[King Trout]

Gaslighter. What else is that? Bitch called me babe.

[Brandon]

I'm an influencer.

[King Trout]

I'm sorry I influenced you.

[Ginger Billy]

That's what I do.

[King Trout]

Yeah, My ex wife.

[Brandon]

Okay, so what. What got you going into comedy first?

[Ginger Billy]

Really? It was never a plan. I didn't. I was working at the hospital, saving lives. Respiratory therapist for 12 years. Oh, that is A scary, right? Absolutely scary. To think I was intubating, saving lives, and went from there and just made a video one day and it blew up. And I was like, I might actually have a talent for this. And then after that, dude, I just. I just did that. And then Covid hit, and that was when I really kind of blew up and just kept on trucking. Dude.

[Brandon]

What was the. What was the video that popped off?

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, man. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Retired from NASCAR and every redneck was sad. And I made a video about that, and it blew up. And then I wore a romper. I don't know if y' all fellas remember the male romper craze back in the 2017, 18.

[Brandon]

This is a crazy thing. See, we just didn't do it.

[Ginger Billy]

Well, I did.

[Brandon]

I know I did.

[Ginger Billy]

And, man, look where I'm at now. Cross dressing gets you places, dude. Okay?

[King Trout]

All you have to do is dress up like a 220 pound baby, man.

[Ginger Billy]

I went to JCPenney and bought me a romper, dude. And put that sucker on and the rest is history.

[Brandon]

So you just made a video just sad about.

[Ginger Billy]

Well, I was holding my AR15 too, though.

[Brandon]

Good choice.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, I had the mags in the pockets and I just showed how versatile the. The romper was.

[King Trout]

Tactical romper.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, man. It was a tactical romper. That's actually what people called it. Seriously? Yes.

[Eli Double Tap]

I still cannot believe the rompers were ever popular. Ever with anybody.

[Ginger Billy]

No, no. The act. The fact that men thought it would be a good idea to make rompers.

[Eli Double Tap]

Not even men. Women get naked to get.

[Brandon]

To go piss.

[Ginger Billy]

Women in romper. I think it's hot.

[Eli Double Tap]

We had to get naked in public restrooms to go piss.

[King Trout]

Many a time I put on. I put on a shirt and thought, what if my shirt was also pants?

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, I mean, I. I like the rompers, man.

[King Trout]

Two for one. Deal.

[Ginger Billy]

I think they're hot. What do you think? No, I mean, there's a.

[Brandon]

There's a. I mean, depends on the.

[Ginger Billy]

There's a limit, too. I mean, you can look good and then you can look like the big show. You know what I'm saying? How. There's a line there, if you know what I'm saying, where the rompers look good and they don't.

[Brandon]

The big shows are great. Now that visual is walking around his whack romper. It's not a romper, it's a sling.

[Ginger Billy]

Three hours, get ready. Just like, look like big show. That's sad right there, man.

[Brandon]

So good. Okay. Fuck. That is what how long did you go to school for? For your previous job? Because that is a wild transition. We've seen it before.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah. So I got straight out of high school, and being the scholar that I am, I went straight into respiratory school at 17, and I took all of my prereqs along with my medical classes and was done within two years where most people do four pre Rex two, respiratory two. I just did it all in two and graduated when I was 19.

[Brandon]

Okay.

[Ginger Billy]

A little bit of intelligence there, huh?

[Brandon]

No doubt. So that was just like, not bragging.

[King Trout]

Yeah, man.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah. Yeah. I don't even know how I do it or did it to this day, because I tried to go back to school for a physician assistant, and within a semester I quit because I was like, I cannot retain anything anymore, you know, so. And it could have been the alcoholic influence, too, that was holding me back from my education, but besides that, you

[Brandon]

know, besides that, everything was good. Now, you came out of college then or your trade school, essentially, right?

[Ginger Billy]

Yes.

[Brandon]

With a salary.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, dude. Yeah. I was, I mean, 19 years old making what a respiratory therapist makes. I was balling son, living with mama, you know.

[Brandon]

Oh, yeah, you're saving money.

[Ginger Billy]

Then you're like, yeah, had me a nice truck, too.

[Brandon]

Looking good, this one. Matt Frazier, CrossFit Matt. Like five time world champion Matt. He lived with his mom for, like, the first two games. I was like, wait, what? He's like, yeah, I still live in my mom's basement. Get the out of.

[Ginger Billy]

That's a CrossFit guy. I can see that. It makes sense.

[King Trout]

If it was socially acceptable, I'd still live with my mom. I love that woman.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah. Oh, me too, dude. I built a house across the pasture from my mama.

[King Trout]

Hell, yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, yeah. I can yell and she can hear me. It's nice.

[Brandon]

Now you went into YouTube comedy and how long have you been doing YouTube? And Facebook's your main thing, right?

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, sorry. You do stand up, too.

[Ginger Billy]

I do.

[Eli Double Tap]

You start that first or did that come after YouTube?

[Ginger Billy]

That came like a year after.

[King Trout]

Okay.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

I never wanted to just be a YouTuber and I felt like stand up was a challenge. And y' all guys know you. You get on a stage, y' all know, and. And I can tell by how much he talks on here. He loves to be in front of a mic.

[Donut Operator]

Even the guests are calling me.

[Ginger Billy]

I'm like, you just have him here to look awkward or what are we doing here?

[Brandon]

I mean, he's Cody's. Some sunglasses.

[Ginger Billy]

I've been waiting for him to say so. Five minutes.

[King Trout]

We can't at Bernie's him.

[Brandon]

Someone in the comments just turn his head.

[Donut Operator]

Someone in the comments said, I'm the. The podcast cuck.

[King Trout]

Just sit in the chair and watch it happen.

[Brandon]

Yeah, that's about right. Keep talking.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Yeah. I'm so close to finishing.

[Ginger Billy]

It's kind of like I'm just looking over, waiting for a reaction from him. He's just like. Like, you just don't want to be here, man.

[Brandon]

Welcome to Texas.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, sorry. It's good to meet you, though, by the way.

[Brandon]

Oh, I forgot. I just seen highlights.

[Eli Double Tap]

I've seen you do stand up, though.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

You had on Iowa.

[Ginger Billy]

You did.

[King Trout]

Shiny.

[Ginger Billy]

What is this?

[King Trout]

It's makeup.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, I'm oily.

[Brandon]

Yeah. I just seen everyone's reflection.

[Ginger Billy]

Growth hormone will make you shine, son. Yeah. You came and saw me. That was. Man, I think I'd been in it maybe two or three years when you came.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. I was gonna say your set was good. Like, your set was dialed in.

[Ginger Billy]

Thank you. And I feel like I'm much better now. You know, it's practice.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

You know, and I'm on a different. I'm on a different set now, too. But I just love the challenge of going up on a stage and seeing. Because, man, y' all know it is so diluted with content creators now. There's so many people that call themselves a comedian, and, like, bro, you've never been on a stage, and you call yourself a comedian because you do Reaction videos. So I don't know. It's a sense of pride getting on stage and be able to make people laugh. And it's a good, you know, good income.

[Eli Double Tap]

It is significantly harder. Even what you're doing is harder than what we do because, like, if I'm having a bad day or my joke flops, I've got four or five other buddies on stage that are there to jump in. At the moment, you're standing up there by yourself, and you especially in literally short shorts and boots. Yeah. And no shirt.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, dude.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like, you were actually standing up there naked in front of 500 people. Like, you got no backup. If it goes sideways, you're just.

[Ginger Billy]

There it is. But it's a thrill. I love it. I do. I enjoy it. And it's my. This will be my sixth year, I think, going into it.

[Brandon]

That's.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, man.

[Brandon]

I.

[Ginger Billy]

And it's a good way to provide for my family. So it's just. I don't know. It's just something to take pride in, I feel like. Because not a lot of people can do it.

[Brandon]

Was that nerves going on that first one where you like, man, going to go up on that stage and crush this, man.

[Ginger Billy]

I've only done like maybe two open mics my whole life in this career. And when I started out, I was hosting for a guy and the guy was a big name and he was actually performing at the Gold Nugget in Louisiana. And it holds like 3,000 people maybe.

[Brandon]

I don't know. I have this hand like, oh, yes. He saw my face.

[King Trout]

He said, the Golden Nugget.

[Donut Operator]

I went.

[King Trout]

And then he said, in Louisiana.

[Ginger Billy]

And I went, yeah, it's nice. All right, it's nice. But I mean, first time on stage was in front of 3,000 people hosting for, you know, now they were like, you got five minutes. Five minutes don't sound long. You get on a stage, it is an eternity. God.

[King Trout]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

You know, in front of 3,000 people and you. I ran through that real. That my five minutes material in one minute. And then you realize, oh shit, I don't messed up. Like, I got four minutes left. What do I do? You know what I'm saying?

[Brandon]

That was your first one?

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, that was my first one.

[Brandon]

You went in front. Oh, wow.

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay.

[Brandon]

So, yeah, that would have been way more terrifying. Hey, get up there. You're by yourself. As Nick is saying, if one of

[Eli Double Tap]

us have a bad day, 3,000 is

[Ginger Billy]

thrown to the wolves, man.

[Eli Double Tap]

People don't realize, like even big name comedians, that's like an a tier comedian. It's doing a 3,000 seat venue. I mean, there's like the next echelon of like Dave Chappelle and the people that can sell out stadiums. But other than that, it's like 3,000 seat venues.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, this guy was selling. I mean, he was, he was big. Huge at the time. And that was. I mean, the first shows I ever did were big places. Three. I think the minimum would have been 1500 every time. And so. Yeah, and so doing that really, you know, that kind of took the. The fear fact. Because once you do that, man, you walk in front of a club, 500 or, you know, I do theaters now and casinos, maybe 1200, 2000 max here and there. So after you get thrown into that, it's just like off. It's just we can do this, you know, easy. Yeah, not easy. There's always still the possibility of, you know, bombing, but.

[Brandon]

And is that more related to where the show is taking place? Have you seen that or anything influencing what makes a bomb or not?

[Ginger Billy]

I'm sure y' all see it, too, Right? Different locations, different vibes, for sure. My goodness.

[Brandon]

Oh, dude. Yeah, Nevermind.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, we were talking about that last night.

[Brandon]

Yeah. Colorado was the wild one for.

[Ginger Billy]

Colorado is one of my favorite. It was awesome.

[Brandon]

They were the only one that chanted, say the word. We're like, what the hell is going on?

[Eli Double Tap]

N word.

[King Trout]

Really?

[Brandon]

Yeah. Oh, dude.

[Ginger Billy]

Colorado.

[Brandon]

Yeah. See, that was our expression, too. Said what?

[Ginger Billy]

Wow.

[King Trout]

Smoke some weed. And you want to hear the N word?

[Ginger Billy]

That called me off guard. That's wild, dude.

[Brandon]

We're like, no. We're just like, no.

[Ginger Billy]

Where did that even come from? We don't. Huh?

[King Trout]

A place of hate.

[Brandon]

We had.

[Eli Double Tap]

We had a joke that involved a Burger King crown and.

[Brandon]

Oh, where did it come from?

[Ginger Billy]

Okay, so that's the source.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. Then the crowd actually wanted the follow through.

[Brandon]

I didn't even think about that. Where did it come from, guys?

[Eli Double Tap]

It's only a joke if I don't do it. Yeah.

[King Trout]

What kind of do we not want on the plane?

[Ginger Billy]

Goodness gracious. But yeah, y', all. I'm sure you fellas see it there. Even shows, man. I'll do. I'll do four to six shows in a weekend. First show, man, you'll be like, I'm Dave Chappelle, dude. I can't. I can't do nothing wrong. Second show, you like, I want to quit. I won't do this ever again. They hate me. This is. It's just a difference in energy and stuff. I don't know. It's wicked.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's the other thing that's hard for you is, like, nobody's showing up to an unsubscribed podcast live event that doesn't already know who we are and like us. Whereas with you, it's kind like you do get people. A lot of people know who you are or whatever, but you also get people that are just like, it's a live comedy show at the casino. I'm at the casino. Let's go try it out.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah. Comp tickets. I mean, yeah, there'll be 500 people in there.

[Brandon]

Don't know you exactly.

[Eli Double Tap]

You know, that's what I'm saying. That's another aspect we don't have to deal with, really.

[King Trout]

It's the wives and girlfriends. When you look out in the crowd and there's just a woman staring at you. Blank face.

[Ginger Billy]

Luckily for me, all of my material is based off of me. My marriage, my kid, a lot of it. So, man, a lot of times it's women bringing their husbands or, you know, I do a lot of stuff about medical too. And so you'll be nurses out there and everything else. So a wide variety of people. It ain't just a bunch of hicks, bunch of rednecks. You know what I'm saying? It's. There's people with educations out there, man.

[Brandon]

Hey, you ever just wake up and felt like your mattress sucks and it beat your ass, punched you in the face?

[Eli Double Tap]

That's crazy.

[King Trout]

Does the mattress.

[Ginger Billy]

Also your mom?

[King Trout]

You ever wake up feeling like you slept in a swamp because of your disgusting, nasty ball sweat?

[Ginger Billy]

I see most of you on Reddit, so I know you have time to

[Brandon]

break up with that mattress.

[King Trout]

Get divorced from your mattress, get a ghostbed that hoe, you're worth more. You're so strong.

[Ginger Billy]

Well, guess what?

[Brandon]

Ghostbed just launched their new mattress line.

[King Trout]

It's designed to keep you cool, supported in all the right areas, if you catch my drift. Your giant hog. And help you get sleep.

[Brandon]

These beds are built with its patented cooling technology, Brandon, so you can keep

[Ginger Billy]

your giant hog cool.

[Brandon]

Did you know they're built to last?

[Donut Operator]

That's right.

[King Trout]

None of that dripping y er nonsense. Every mattress has a 20 or 25 year warranty. That means if I bought one today, it will outlive me before the warranty expires. I don't have much time left.

[Ginger Billy]

Especially with as much as you smoke.

[King Trout]

Way to make it real, Brandon.

[Brandon]

Plus 101 night sleep trial.

[King Trout]

Don't love it.

[Ginger Billy]

Send that back.

[Brandon]

101 nights. That's three months risk free.

[King Trout]

They got the full setup.

[Brandon]

Adjustable bases and pillows, buttery soft sheets.

[Ginger Billy]

Buttery and even better, you can get 10% off site wide when you go to ghostbed.com unsubscribe and use code unsubscribe.

[King Trout]

And that's on top of their everyday deals of mattresses, adjustable bases and pillows

[Ginger Billy]

already being up to 50% off. Come on, guys. What are we doing?

[Eli Double Tap]

What are we doing?

[Ginger Billy]

Why aren't you going to. Why aren't you going. Why aren't you going? And using code unsubscribe.

[Brandon]

Hey, go. Use code unsub.

[King Trout]

[Ginger Billy]

[Brandon]

That's Ghostbed.com. unsubscribe. Use code unsubscribe.

[Ginger Billy]

Sleep better.

[Brandon]

Stay cooler.

[Ginger Billy]

This is a threat.

[King Trout]

Like you say that you're. You're the most well educated man at

[Brandon]

the table right now by far.

[King Trout]

I got three high school diplomas and

[Ginger Billy]

half one nice man.

[Brandon]

What was the worst experience you've had to have one where it's like, oh,

[Ginger Billy]

oh, you know you have one every once in a while or either somebody's drunk. I had two guys fight in a crowd one night. I had a dude just have a seizure and fall out mid show. Yeah, dude, just look out there. And they're just punching at each other.

[Brandon]

Do you address that?

[Ginger Billy]

I just. I just watched. He got a J. Yeah, just. Just going in, commentating, you know, and then they get kicked out. Yeah, I saw. All right, so this is a crazy story. I met a guy one night after the show. He was. Dude, big, tall guy, beard. He had on a vest, and he was former military and had a Blackwater patch on, and real cool, soft spoken dude. And I was talking to him. He said he'd been deployed so many times and all this stuff. Well, this little short, fat dude, drunk, comes walking up to him. He's like, black water. Are you? Son of a bit. Y' all nasty, dirty people. Like, just poking this guy, and this guy's like, six, eight. And this little dude's like five foot five maybe. And the dude's like, bro, just go away. Like, just leave. And he was, no, you. So I'll get you after this show. Like, just. His wife had to save him. I mean, the wife was like, no, Jerry, come on. We gotta go.

[Donut Operator]

You can't.

[Ginger Billy]

Don't do that.

[King Trout]

Stop angering the man whose job is

[Ginger Billy]

to kill you in the parking lot, son. So that was. That was a little awkward. But I, for the most part, I have people to have sense. You know, I have. I have good fans, so I'm lucky. I don't get chairs thrown at me or anything like that. So it's.

[Brandon]

Was. Have you had one where, like, even just as you're saying, not as much energy or the jokes just weren't landing?

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, man. So the guy that I have open for me is a black dude. I call him my BBC. He's my best black companion, and he has toured with me. Yeah, everybody. Every white Dude's got a BBC. Man 3 oh, wow. That's impressive.

[King Trout]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

Goodness gracious. You got a gaggle. A gaggle of BBCs is what that is.

[Donut Operator]

Murder.

[Brandon]

Yeah, murder.

[Eli Double Tap]

Flock herd.

[Ginger Billy]

I don't know.

[Brandon]

Crime.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[King Trout]

A statistic. A statistic of black men,

[Brandon]

Darnell. Oh, yeah.

[King Trout]

Dang nabbit.

[Ginger Billy]

But, yeah, if he goes out, because he's hilarious, if he goes out, and I noticed, because he gets 20 minutes on stage before me, if he cuts his time down from 20 to 15, I know it's gonna be a rough night for me.

[Donut Operator]

And.

[Brandon]

And he just.

[Ginger Billy]

He walked by me and he'll say, good luck with that one, bro.

[Donut Operator]

And, oh, just getting your head.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, but, you know, it's a challenge. Like, okay, let's see if I can do better than that. But sometimes, man, you got a lot of people that ain't never been to a comedy show, they don't know.

[King Trout]

They don't know you're supposed to laugh at the. Yeah, man.

[Ginger Billy]

They just, you know. And so there are times, most of the time, thank God, like, the crowd work will get them going, because I will do crowd work or whatever to find I'm comfortable enough to go off topic now. But sometimes you just like, man, I'm just not. I'm done doing this. I'm retiring. It makes you feel just horrible, man. You know? Do y' all ever get that? I mean, because y' all get to kind of just. Yeah, it's all improv, right?

[Brandon]

No, we have sets and then it. It's a mixture. You. We have a set with improv, but we can completely switch set. When we did a back to back show in Iowa, it was. We did a show and then an hour and a half later had another show. And 20 or 30% of the audience was the same.

[Eli Double Tap]

20 or 30% of the audience was the same. I was like, it was two completely different shows.

[Brandon]

Yeah, we did. We just changed everything.

[Ginger Billy]

That's awesome that you did that on the fly, though.

[Brandon]

And shit wrecked.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, really?

[Brandon]

That was the drunkest all of us had been.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, don't. This. This wasn't talent. This was us being drunk. Shit wrecked. The first. The first show, we were trying to make the audience laugh. The second show, we were drunk, trying to make each other laugh and forgot the audience. We said it was aggressive.

[Ginger Billy]

That's great, man. That's great. But I bet they probably enjoyed it though, right?

[Brandon]

Oh, everyone was like, the second show is better. Like, what?

[Ginger Billy]

Hey, man. Just because you're ripped it off each other.

[Eli Double Tap]

I mean, somebody remembered it.

[Ginger Billy]

That's awesome.

[Brandon]

I couldn't tell you a single joke.

[Ginger Billy]

Wow, dude.

[Brandon]

Like, I don't even know what story you told.

[Eli Double Tap]

I don't either.

[Ginger Billy]

That is great.

[Donut Operator]

It was basically like a dance hall with a bar and the bartenders just kept feeding us everything. That was a fun time.

[Ginger Billy]

God, that's awesome. That's amazing.

[Brandon]

But it is. And they're buying tickets to see one of the guys or the group as a whole, so they're already fans. So that's where I think the comedy is different, because you do have people that are just showing up and they don't know who you are.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, no, that's. That's awesome. And y' all are doing big venues, too?

[Brandon]

Yes. Yeah. Especially for how quick. Because we've done two tours. Technically. Yeah, three in about 20 shows, so. And then we just keep it to once a year. We'll do a handful of shows, and then.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, yeah, it just makes it more anticipated. People want to come, and it's awesome.

[Brandon]

Like, as you're saying, they are exhausting.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, Yeah. I mean, like, especially clubs doing four to six shows a weekend. You know, you hit one show, clubs like, to do two shows a night. Like, if you book a club and you're a headliner and you're doing weekends, they're gonna make you do at least four. If you sell out, it'll be two Friday to Saturday. And if you sell those out, you'll go to a Sunday or a Thursday. And so you do a show, you get an adrenaline, you know, and then it's adrenaline crash. Then you have to come back out, do it again. And so in these two, crowds are always different. You just don't even know what's gonna happen. So that they are. It's a tiring, you know? But then I look at it, I'm like, Dude, you work 12 hour shifts at the hospital so you could do two hours on a stage without bitching. You know what I'm saying? So what do you think?

[Eli Double Tap]

Did you have the beard when you were a respiratory therapist?

[Ginger Billy]

I did not.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, it would have been so much better.

[Ginger Billy]

I didn't.

[Eli Double Tap]

Dude, I just want you. I want to be, like, waiting for an intubation, and you walk in with that beard and scrubs and, like, a funnel.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

You know, like, you're like. You look like you're gonna go siphon gas out of my car, but you're shoving it in me.

[Ginger Billy]

I did the last year because I. I was actually doing my videos the last. I was still working at the hospital, I would leave. I'd work my three 12s, leave out, host all weekend, come back. So I did have the beard the last year of. Because I. I have patients. Like, that's Ginger Billy, you know, like, Ginger Billy is my respiratory therapist. So that was. That was pretty cool.

[Brandon]

I'm.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, yeah, I know.

[Brandon]

He's a comedian. Why are you here? And then he passes out.

[Ginger Billy]

Yep, there it is. That's all it takes on the job, training.

[Brandon]

Good night.

[Ginger Billy]

No, just knock them out.

[Brandon]

Dang. Okay, so, like, even for a respiratory therapy, what was. I mean, you're still in the hospital. I know. Nick has nightmare stories of dealing with stuff. Medic wise. Did you have the same.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, yeah, man. I mean, because I worked. I worked the ER and a level one trauma in Columbia, Richland county, which you got everything. I mean, gunshot victims, people jumping off bridges and their legs coming in, you know, bones sticking out of skin and. And stuff like that.

[Brandon]

Jumping off and.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, just jump off. Bridge didn't kill. Just break your legs.

[Brandon]

Yeah, I don't. Sorry if I'm jumping off something to end my. You think you died first?

[Ginger Billy]

Yes.

[Brandon]

I'm not gonna be like toothpicket, like,

[Ginger Billy]

what is that gonna do? Congratulations, you know, now you got two broke legs, now your life sucks way more. Next time you read that before, you're

[Brandon]

really sad now just notice it.

[King Trout]

Now you're depressed in a wheelchair, idiot.

[Ginger Billy]

You gonna have to roll off next time.

[Eli Double Tap]

Now you're gonna have to find a handicap accessible bridge.

[Brandon]

Jokes on you.

[King Trout]

Hope the next building you jump off of has an elevator.

[Brandon]

Jeez, this opens up. So what was one of those. What was one of the most fucked up stories where you like, oh, man,

[Ginger Billy]

probably the grossest thing I ever had happen. You know what a trach is? Y' all fellas know what trach is? You know, So I got a suctionist, dude, and when I suctioned him, I pull out the catheter. And when I pull out the catheter, I look and I see something dangling on my eyelash. And I done pulled that catheter out and it shot a freaking snotball up into my eyelash and it was dangling on my freaking eyelash, dude. That was probably the grossest thing that's probably happened. I mean, I've had blood and guts and stuff like that, but I got pink eye from that, man. You know what I'm saying? Like, I have a booger on my eyeball right now.

[Brandon]

From a trach?

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, dude, from a trach. That's probably one of the gross. I mean, of course I saw gunshots and all that stuff too, but that was probably the one that made me. Were you just like, oh, yeah, yeah, dude, yeah. Cause I'm like, do I touch it or what do I do, man? It's like a little punching bag just swinging back and forth my eye, you know? Yeah.

[Brandon]

What was. Was it scary, though, with that transition or how many years did you do both at the same time before going like, okay, I'm doing this full time now?

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, I was rt. I think probably about another year. I was full time. Then I went to part time PRN. Was working like a day or two a week and touring. So I finally, when my YouTube and stuff started making like $2,000 a month, I was like, oh, I'm balling now. I'm quitting the job and started doing the stand up and stuff like that. And I quit. And I'll never forget, man, I was about to walk out on stage for a show and my wife calls me boohoo and crying. You quit your job, like right before I'm about to walk out on stage.

[King Trout]

Yeah, baby, we're making $24,000 a year.

[Ginger Billy]

Killing it now, girl, you know? So, yeah, I'll. I was like, I gotta make the work now. I have no choice because y' all know if you got a job and you're doing this, you'll never go full in. So that's why I had to quit the job. And then full on.

[Brandon]

And then right before your live show here.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, man.

[Brandon]

Crying, calling.

[Ginger Billy]

It's like, what are you calling me all mad? I'm like, girl, just have faith, bab.

[Brandon]

We're making 24 grand. No insurance. Just think of it this way.

[King Trout]

If I was working at McDonald's, I'd be making almost double this.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, but see, she is a. She's a nurse practitioner. I met her at the hospital. She was an rn. That's how we met.

[King Trout]

You got a golden parachute then.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, man, I got a retirement plan. You know, she's my. She's my. She's an mp. She works at the urgent care in town. And so if anything ever happens, I still got. She can work. You know what I'm saying?

[King Trout]

It's on her.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, it's on her shoulders. I mean, she carries me on the insurance anyway, so it works out pretty well.

[Brandon]

Now you are. If you want to talk about it, we can skip this part too, but 11 years sober right now.

[Ginger Billy]

12.

[Brandon]

12. Congratulations.

[Ginger Billy]

12. Thank you. Yeah, man. I got a tattoo to remember it. That's Pac man.

[King Trout]

Eating.

[Brandon]

Eating pills.

[Ginger Billy]

That's Perkman, is who that is. That's Perk, man. Yeah,

[Brandon]

I made a game to commemorate.

[Ginger Billy]

Yep, that was me for. For a long time.

[Brandon]

Well, you.

[Eli Double Tap]

I.

[Brandon]

You were saying you're eating.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, man.

[Brandon]

Jesus.

[Ginger Billy]

When I started working at the hospital, I ran. I met, of all people, physicians. And when he walked up to me one day, he was like, dude, I'll write you a script. Adderall, if you give me half of them. And then I got in with him and some other guys. And at first I was just selling the pain meds. I was like, I can make money off this. And then I took one, and I was like, oh, this feels wonderful. I can work on this, you know, And I will just totally ignore people's bullshit. This will be great. And it went from one lower tab, 10 a day, to two to 10 to taking. I could take 10 Oxycontin, Oxycodone, 30s a day. Jesus.

[Brandon]

10?

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, 10. 10. I could take 10 a day to function.

[Brandon]

Like, 10 would put. I mean, that would.

[King Trout]

I mean, if you. Yeah, they'd kill somebody immediately.

[Brandon]

Just say regular. Well, yeah. I'd be like, oh, yeah, yeah, Be dead.

[Eli Double Tap]

Just super casual.

[Ginger Billy]

You weak, son. You wouldn't want to hit that.

[Brandon]

What made you.

[King Trout]

What made you addicted to opiates?

[Brandon]

Shifting from it because he just said. He was like, oh, man, this feels good.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, it was awesome money.

[Brandon]

I'm assuming you stopped selling him and just started eating.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, I started eating my.

[King Trout]

My.

[Ginger Billy]

My product, dude.

[Brandon]

Y. Famous business.

[Ginger Billy]

Yes, sir. Yeah. I could never be the leader of a cartel, dude. It would never work for me.

[King Trout]

Some expression about getting high and your own supply, but I can't remember the rest of the words.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, I tell you. I tell some people, like, hey, man, I'm gonna have some this weekend. They text me that Monday. I didn't get any, man. I don't know what happened.

[Eli Double Tap]

Sorry.

[King Trout]

My number one customer swung by.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, he bought them all, dude.

[Brandon]

And then you're just.

[King Trout]

What.

[Brandon]

What was the switch of, Like, I probably need to not do this, man.

[Ginger Billy]

I had friends dying, and luckily this was before fentanyl came around. This was all pharmaceutical stuff that I was buying from grandmas that was getting them from doctors. I had my buddies at the hospital. But then you had all these little old ladies getting five, ten scripts, and they needed money, so I'd buy all the stuff from them, you know, and take it. But then it got to where doctors was getting more strict. You couldn't find it. Withdrawal as horrible. I mean, it's the worst thing ever, you know, And. And I was just. Man, I was not me. I. It went from me taking them to feel good to me just taking them to function and be normal. And, man, I was never raised around that, dude. Like, never. My mama had me in church and everything else. I was never raised around this stuff. And I saw it destroying everything, and I finally just. I had to get help because I saw it was. I'd probably be dead.

[Brandon]

J.D. delay. That's the one thing he did say it was. They don't do it for the high. At that point, they're just doing it to feel normal because they feel like complete garbage without it in their.

[Ginger Billy]

And man, I tell you, if you ain't been there, you don't need to look at people like, oh, peel head crackhead. You know, look at people that's doing it. But it really changes you to the point your whole mind, your chemistry is different. It's changed. I was not the same the guy before the pills was different than the guy after the pills. Like I, I don't. And it's honestly, I might have this to think for how I am because if you talk to people before I ever took them, they're like, dude, you were just such a shy kid, like, what happened to you? So I don't know if the opiates changed everything or what, but for the better, I don't know. But it was a, it was rough six years.

[Donut Operator]

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, yeah. Well, I. I couldn't do rehab. I was like, man, I can't do rehab. I'm working. I have a job. So I went to like a. I guess like a psychiatrist, psychologist or whatever and just, you know, told him to deal and he was like. Because, man, you think. You always think that addicts are just people out on the streets, but then you realize it's engineers, doctors. You have to have money to have this stuff, you know? And it's. It's a lot of people you don't know have the. Have the issue. And. And I just went to get help and then in mentally was just like, I've got to quit, and just stopped. But it was. It's rough, dude. It's rough. Yeah. Is rough.

[Brandon]

God damn. Well, congratulations on that.

[Ginger Billy]

Thank you. I appreciate it, man. I appreciate it.

[Brandon]

Now you. How did you guys meet?

[Eli Double Tap]

I don't know. We started talking on. Well, you came to a show, something. But I came to a show. We were talking before that. And then you came near Iowa for. And we just drove up and him. Hannah went to a show, and I've

[Ginger Billy]

been a big fan of his. I watched his stuff, man. Right when he, I think, started, like, I started watching him because I'm a big military history nerd and so watch. My son watched him and went to a show one night, and Harry, I'm like, holy, dude, this is cool. You know, and we. I think we had message before, you know, and stuff like that, but met him at the show and he's a good dude, man. So, you know, and he looks muscular, too. He's a.

[Eli Double Tap]

You're one to talk.

[Ginger Billy]

You look good, dude. You look good. I ain't trying gay. But you. You were stood.

[Eli Double Tap]

Shut the cameras off, Cody. Watch.

[King Trout]

Let these guys flirt. Give me a kiss, Cody, so we can tone down how gay it is.

[Brandon]

I'm just watching all this unfold.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, son, turn around. Don't look.

[Brandon]

Stay over.

[King Trout]

Oh, God, there's a child here.

[Ginger Billy]

Well, that changes everything, don't it?

[Brandon]

So did you guys meet after his show or.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, we hung out after the show. He honestly, it was like kind of the first live show that I'd ever really went to. So, like, I was thinking about that when we were doing live shows, just because, like, I saw how he did his meet and greets and everything. And, you know, so I. I kind of went into our live shows semi knowing what to expect. Just because after his show, I hung out with him at the meet and greet for a little bit. And then.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

And then he had to another show the next day.

[Ginger Billy]

Yes, sir. Yeah, man. Yep. And now look at y' all killing it. And the fact, dude, you have grown so much. Your YouTube is. I'm jealous. I'm not gonna lie. I see your YouTube, I'm like, God dang it, man. He's killing me here.

[Eli Double Tap]

So I'm telling. I was telling you earlier. I know, because he so on his YouTube channel, he does like all these crazy builds of like giving.

[Ginger Billy]

Like, I've turned a van into a rocket ship.

[Eli Double Tap]

Tanks.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

All kinds of just redneck. And he's like, you usually your videos are just like 10 to 15 minutes. Here's. Here's the done product. I was like, bro, make videos of you making you.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Videos of you showing somebody how to change brakes. Could be hilarious or anything. Welding, like, today I'm going to teach you how to.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, my whale's horrible. Well, yeah, you know, I am sometimes. Sometimes I need to hear that. Like, him telling me that was like, okay.

[King Trout]

Really?

[Ginger Billy]

Why have you not been doing it?

[Brandon]

It's relatable. But now you're doing everyone else. Well, usually used to be where you change your own brakes, not so much anymore, but.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, yeah, but. And see, I have nobody to bounce anything off of. Like, I have nobody. I'm just me out there in the middle of nowhere by myself. So I need to hear that from people sometime.

[Donut Operator]

You know, people would watch the hell out of that. You doing the. You doing the project up to the final product, get five.

[Eli Double Tap]

Five other videos leading up to the finished product.

[Ginger Billy]

I mean, that's easily over an hour content right there.

[Donut Operator]

Videos.

[Eli Double Tap]

Did Brandon get out of the AK 54 years worth. He didn't just roll up with a done AK50. It was like, here's the newest update. Here's where we're at.

[Ginger Billy]

See, that's brilliant, man. See, I see a lot of guys do that. I'm just. I don't know, I guess me, I think go straight to the action. That's what they want to see, you

[King Trout]

know, but building, it's messy, actually.

[Brandon]

Yeah. Part of the process I'm looking at,

[King Trout]

it's like coming is. Is fun, but the lead up is the fun part.

[Ginger Billy]

Well, I mean, it kind of Depends.

[Donut Operator]

Science.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

Too much of a build up.

[Brandon]

Three seconds. Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

That's what I'm talking about. Yeah.

[Brandon]

I. Man, you reviewing the EV Dodge Charger. You reviewing any cars like that, I think would be hilarious because it's a redneck review of the.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon]

I'd watch that.

[Ginger Billy]

Thank you, Ram. You saw the truck out there? Yeah, yeah. Ram sent me that truck. Oh, yeah? Dude sent me the truck. And it was like, do what you want to with it. Just don't run it through a tree. And I'm like, are you seriously telling me that right now? So that's that. I'm wanting to do more videos like that. And that truck there is about to be put through hell. So it's gonna be something cool.

[Brandon]

What are you doing to it?

[Eli Double Tap]

Hear me out. Get them to send you the new Rumblebee.

[Ginger Billy]

Man, I wish.

[Eli Double Tap]

I want it.

[Brandon]

What is that?

[Ginger Billy]

That's the Rho. That one's got 540 horsepower.

[Eli Double Tap]

Next year, they announced they're coming out with the Rumblebee. It's the first street truck to get manufactured in like 15 years. So it's. I mean, it's not lowered, but it's lower to the ground. And it's got the 777 horsepower Hellcat engine in it.

[Ginger Billy]

Dude. Supercharged, too, right?

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

And it's all wheel drive.

[Brandon]

Yeah, it's gangster, dude.

[Ginger Billy]

It's yeller, too. It is.

[King Trout]

That is the most Mexican looking I've ever seen in my life.

[Brandon]

Well, because it's yellow.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

What are you.

[Eli Double Tap]

Sorry, guy that.

[Ginger Billy]

What do you drive?

[King Trout]

A Ford Ranger.

[Eli Double Tap]

A Ford Ranger that had drywall and construction scraps in the back of it for six months straight.

[King Trout]

A year, baby.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. You're not talking right now.

[Brandon]

That's the most Mexican car.

[King Trout]

Ugly as.

[Donut Operator]

It's pretty ugly.

[Ginger Billy]

That's what haters say.

[King Trout]

Yeah. Because I hate it. That one. Yes.

[Brandon]

You can change that color.

[Ginger Billy]

Beautiful truck.

[King Trout]

I understand that.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'm with you on this.

[Ginger Billy]

I like it.

[Eli Double Tap]

Connor's just coping.

[Brandon]

Yeah, yeah.

[King Trout]

Yeah. That's what we call that because you

[Eli Double Tap]

can't register it because you still don't have an address.

[Brandon]

Come on.

[Ginger Billy]

Hey. Let me hear. You burn towers in that Ranger when you pull out of here.

[Donut Operator]

I never like lowered trucks like that.

[King Trout]

Yeah, it looks like shit.

[Donut Operator]

What are you gonna do with the bed?

[Ginger Billy]

What are you gonna do with the bed?

[King Trout]

Apples and oranges. What I'm saying is, if I was. If I was going to buy $130,000 truck, I wouldn't buy that.

[Eli Double Tap]

But the puppetry.

[King Trout]

Yes, the puppetry. It all circles back to the puppet.

[Ginger Billy]

If you have the money to buy that truck, you don't, you buy the other truck too that you want, then just have that truck to cruise around in.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. The context was he gets it for free.

[Ginger Billy]

That's it.

[Eli Double Tap]

For free. Okay. I was like, you should get a free. Oh, you get free trucks. You should get this free truck. And you're like, that one's dumb.

[King Trout]

Well, I wasn't paying attention.

[Eli Double Tap]

The disrespect.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, I know. Somebody sends you a free Ford Ranger, I ain't gonna say nothing to you.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

I don't even care if it comes with all the scraps or the Mexicans

[Ginger Billy]

in the bag, whatever it comes with,

[Brandon]

you got a free Ford Ranger and three Mexican illegal. They have family.

[King Trout]

I don't have to mow the lawn anymore. That's cool.

[Brandon]

Dear God, they're blind.

[King Trout]

Feel it out.

[Eli Double Tap]

Now we're talking. You're into like UFC and everything, aren't you?

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

We were talking about the gagey fight. Oh, beautiful.

[Ginger Billy]

Man, Toporia is such a pretty boy. And to see his face gets so messed up.

[Eli Double Tap]

Two broken orbitals, bro. Two broken orbitals and damage to his, like his actual eye on his right side.

[Ginger Billy]

My thing was he got on the stool and they were his brother's like, we're finishing the fight. And supporters like, son of a. I can't see before that.

[Eli Double Tap]

That he told his corner the round before, I can't see out of my right eye. And then they bring the doctor in and the doctor's like, tell him the fight's over. You see him do this, it's over. And then the ref is like, I'm

[Ginger Billy]

gonna let it ride. Yeah.

[King Trout]

I want to see this man murder.

[Ginger Billy]

You can't.

[Eli Double Tap]

You can't do that. This guy's gonna die.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah. And now you think about it. If he has permanent damn, that's the ref's fault.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

Because he could have stopped it right there. And it only got way worse. Yeah.

[Brandon]

I mean, I tweeted that night possibly

[Eli Double Tap]

go wrong when you've lost half your vision against the hardest hitting person in that division's history. And that's according to every champion that's ever fought.

[King Trout]

Go fight him blind like a truck.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. Khabib. Khabib. Who hits the hardest?

[Ginger Billy]

Gaiji?

[Eli Double Tap]

Everything. Uppercut, hook kick, all of it. Hardest, like he's.

[King Trout]

I was worried he was going to die of like fucking brain bleed after that fight. Cuz he got so up, it looked

[Eli Double Tap]

like it was bleeding from his eye.

[Ginger Billy]

You could tell I mean, his brother, his the right.

[Brandon]

Yeah, the red. It looked like he busted his.

[Ginger Billy]

Like his brother had to carry him out. Like he, he. He wanted to put the towel over his head so people couldn't see his face. And his brother had to carry him out on his shoulders. I mean, he got destroyed.

[Brandon]

Just those two images side by side. And that's what's crazy is like that dude walked to that corner and they still said, no, you got this. Like go back.

[Ginger Billy]

I guess easy for you to say.

[Eli Double Tap]

I mean, look, after the absolute insane amount of. He talked the entire time.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah. But you know, to his credit, everything had came true to as far as the last three fights. Beating Vault, beating Holloway, beating Oliveira. Like all. He's like, I'm going to knock him out. But Gai turned that stuff around on him, son. Tore him.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, dude, I don't think that guy's ever gonna be the same.

[Ginger Billy]

That's like.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's the closest fight I've seen since Rory McDonald. And who's the Rory McDonald?

[Ginger Billy]

What are you talking about?

[Eli Double Tap]

And Eddie. But not Eddie Alvarez, who was not Eddie Alvarez. The guy from Iowa.

[Brandon]

Cody, no.

[Ginger Billy]

God.

[Eli Double Tap]

He fought.

[Ginger Billy]

Yes.

[Eli Double Tap]

Beat the. Well, they beat the. Out of each other, but Robbie Lawler took soul. He was never the same.

[Ginger Billy]

And they fought again after that. Yeah, it wasn't a close.

[Eli Double Tap]

Never the same after that fight. I don't think this guy.

[Ginger Billy]

There's no way you could be. He was basically on the dude never bled. I don't think up until that fight really. Or didn't bleed much. And then you go in there and do that happens.

[Eli Double Tap]

Your face turned into hamburger for 25.

[Ginger Billy]

Every faint he's. He's probably gonna be scared to death, man.

[Brandon]

I don't know. This fight versus who?

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, God. Rory McDonald. Dude, it's one of the most legendary fights you'll ever see.

[Eli Double Tap]

Fights ever.

[Brandon]

Maybe when I see their faces.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, Rory McDonald was toe up, son.

[Brandon]

Oh, that was the.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's him.

[Brandon]

That's the lip split one.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's not Rory. The other guy.

[Brandon]

Dude, that, that. Oh, mother.

[Ginger Billy]

Split right in half, dude. And still fighting that.

[Eli Double Tap]

But that was the one where like, Rory McDonald had his lips split like that. And after the round he just goes.

[Ginger Billy]

And look at all that is freaking

[Eli Double Tap]

triple H is blood, not water. And then screams at the guy and then comes back out and continues to beat the shit out of him. It's one of the craziest fights in MMA history.

[Ginger Billy]

The amount of toughness that these dudes have.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, it's insane.

[Ginger Billy]

Is crazy, man. It is to me. I think I'm tough. And then I watch these dudes do this. I'm like, I'm a push dude. I am an absolute push.

[King Trout]

I figured out when I was like, 15, I don't like getting punched in the face.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, that sucks.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[King Trout]

I don't like to do that, man.

[Brandon]

Oh, wow. Yeah, he homie got his face punched.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, it was bad. And he. That kid Rory McDonald was at the top of. During. Top of that division. And after that, he just kind of dropped off.

[King Trout]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

That's such a cool freaking picture, though.

[Eli Double Tap]

Somebody if you go watch Justin Gagey, like, highlights, where they show. They'll show the start of the fight and then they'll show the end of the fight. Like, they don't even look like the same after Justin Gage. Like, he's hitting dudes so hard. They have different haircuts.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's insane.

[Ginger Billy]

When he hits them, it spins them. Like, he hits them so hard. They don't just do this. It's like their whole body moves punching powers.

[Eli Double Tap]

The Tony Ferguson fight's still my favorite fight of all time. Just.

[Ginger Billy]

He about had him.

[Eli Double Tap]

He fought Tony Ferguson.

[Brandon]

Oh, dude.

[Eli Double Tap]

But it was during COVID when there was no audiences allowed.

[King Trout]

Oh, yeah. You could just hear the.

[Brandon]

I remember that.

[Eli Double Tap]

Just everybody. Every punch sounded like a car wreck.

[Ginger Billy]

It was so bad. And then he beat the crap out of. Darn. Michael. Michael Chandler needs to retire, bro.

[Brandon]

Yes.

[Ginger Billy]

Doing all that getting shred. Looking good. Just go out and get your ass. Like, goodness gracious, man. See you at the top. No, you won't, dude. You lost like four in a row. You ain't gonna see nobody at the top, man.

[Brandon]

Who's your favorite fighter?

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, man, I love. I like Hamza, my. The wolf. I think he's cool. Just. I think he got robbed by Strickland. I do like Strickland, though. Him and. I don't know, man. I like them all.

[Brandon]

Strickland. I could see that fight on both sides because it was like, okay, the jab. Because I went into the last round, like, two and two.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

And then I was like, ah, man,

[Ginger Billy]

I'm just glad to see Connors coming back if he fights. What do you think about. You don't like him? You think Holloway's gonna piece him up?

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, no, it's just like, I wish he would have just done what he did and then retired.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

And went away. And he would have been an undisputed legend. Absolutely forever. He would have been a mythical creature, and he would have always been brought up as. Like, this guy never would have beat McGregor, but you know what I mean? And then he went and did like celebrity boxing. And he comes back every five years for one big fight.

[Ginger Billy]

And Khabib took his soul.

[Eli Double Tap]

Dude, he lost a. Didn't he?

[Ginger Billy]

Beat him twice.

[Eli Double Tap]

Beat him twice.

[King Trout]

His leg last time, Poirier.

[Ginger Billy]

He kicked, broke his leg. Yeah, yeah. And so he went. You're right, because it went from, you know, cuz Diaz beat him.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

And that was kind of. It was like, dang, man. That like, he is all. And then it kind of dropped his aura off. And then he just. I think after the. The Floyd Mayweather box, I think he just didn't train. I think he was just like, I'm good.

[Eli Double Tap]

I know it's a cash grab now.

[Brandon]

He made 40. 20 or 40. Oh, I mean, you could be right. I mean, compared to it, overall, he made more in that one fight than his entire MMA career.

[Ginger Billy]

And then he got the do like the deal with the alcohol. The Irish. Yeah, proper 12 or whatever. And then sold it. And, you know, dude don't have to fight. I mean, I give him credit for the fact that you still want to fight, but you've been out five years, dog.

[Brandon]

Where are you headed to this summer?

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay.

[Brandon]

And now, Eli, how can you shake that without a shaker? The AG1 Frother. And it looks, I will say the age. The AG1 frother. It knows what it's doing and it's clean. But yeah, all that stuff about, what are you doing this summer? Don't care what you're gonna do and what you're gonna start doing every morning, start your day with one of these. Gonna give you energy and wake you the F up. Seriously though, vitamins help a lot.

[King Trout]

Lot.

[Brandon]

And when you get 75 plus vitamins in a single drink, you don't have to take a whole bunch of other ones. Struggle with swallowing anything, even a toothbrush makes you gag. And that's how I make AG1 fit into my daily routine. Yummy. You wake up, head over to your cabinet, you open it up, and you just grab one. And that starts your day. This will set you up for the rest of the day, which is really nice. And another thing is, in one drink, you're getting all your vitamins, your probiotics, your prebiotics, superfoods and antioxidants. One scoop and eight ounces of water. It's that simple. And the AG1 next gen formula, well, what is nice, it has 75 plus vitamins and clinically shown to Support gut health. So if you're like me, it helps.

[Eli Double Tap]

like, he also had like the. You know, when he was coming up because I followed him since he was like first in the UFC and he always had the story of like he was the plumber's apprentice that was living with his parents and his wife.

[King Trout]

He was living off welfare while he worked out.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, well, whatever. But like his wife was living with him at his parents house and you know, his wife D. Like, they stayed together. She supported him through this MMA career. And then like he goes and makes all this money and then as soon as he gets the money, cheat toner cheats on her. And his whole Instagram is just him.

[King Trout]

It's him. Him railing coke on yachts with his limp cock. That's all his Instagram is like.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was like, that's disappointing.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah. Hey, switching subjects.

[King Trout]

That's why the Irish don't like him anymore.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, Switching subject. I know it's probably. Did y' all see Jelly Roll and his woman's.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

Divorce. Didn't you see that?

[Brandon]

No.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, he filed for divorce.

[Brandon]

Oh, that sucks.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah. Crazy man. Man can see his wiener. Things change, you know what I'm saying? Lost that weight. He's like, there it is.

[Donut Operator]

The meme I saw.

[King Trout]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

Look at you down there. People who know the.

[Donut Operator]

The price. The people who know the price of scrap metal are really, really upset right now.

[King Trout]

I'll be. I don't. I. I couldn't name a single song or lyric from a song of his.

[Ginger Billy]

Man, I like his old rap. He had one called welcome to the Trap House that get you listen to it gets you crunk. But his country. I can't. I just can't do it. Every song makes me want to just drink and. And I don't even do. I don't drink or smoke, but it makes me want to sit down and cry and drink and smoke.

[Donut Operator]

Great music to listen to.

[King Trout]

Real high points.

[Eli Double Tap]

Play Whiskey Lullaby. It would be fun if I was sad.

[King Trout]

Broken Window Ceremony.

[Ginger Billy]

Every song is depressing. It's like, I can't do it. I like stuff that's happy.

[Brandon]

Yeah. So you said you were a big fan of Nicks for a while and you're a military nerd. What's your favorite pieces of history you like to learn about or is there specific wars or anything like that?

[Ginger Billy]

I think Alexander the Great, all of his stuff, conquering everything he did. I love watching, I think epic history on YouTube. Freaking crazy. Good channel. Big World War II, all things. And, man, I know it's gonna make me sound weird. I just. The Germans like all of their military tactical stuff, you know, I'm not talking about.

[Brandon]

He's like, who's right?

[King Trout]

My favorite Germans from 1939 to 1944.

[Ginger Billy]

Rommel, you know what I'm saying? Like, Kesselring, those guys, the way that they. They fought after D Day and they. They, you know, just kept retreating, but fighting like hell and all that stuff and all the panzer divisions and what they could do with it, even though they were outmanned, just. Just their, you know, strategies and stuff was awesome.

[Eli Double Tap]

I, too, but I like shitting on the Germans.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, no, yeah, I do too. But I just think that, you know, what they. What they did in that short amount of time. Conquering everything they did was crazy. Just crazy. Why are you laughing over that?

[King Trout]

Just an interesting take to have.

[Brandon]

Yeah. You know, conquered a lot.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah. Yeah. Maybe I should have went with something else, man.

[Brandon]

He was a great painter, but a better leader.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brandon]

I think he was just misunderstood.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah. That's all.

[King Trout]

Really love dogs. I like anybody who likes dogs.

[Ginger Billy]

German Shepherds, man.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[King Trout]

Blondie was his favorite. I was the only one who's allowed to live in the house. Don't ask me why I know this.

[Brandon]

What was one of the. Any of the specific battles where you're like, okay, that was fucking dope or a piece of history that you have learned that you like to.

[Ginger Billy]

I think El Alamein was cool. I thought that was really cool.

[Brandon]

I don't know that.

[Ginger Billy]

South Africa, Montgomery fighting the Germans.

[Brandon]

This is wild. You have gone.

[King Trout]

I've heard the name before.

[Ginger Billy]

Because Germans came in to South Africa and they were, you know, they were doing their thing and then beating the crap out of the Americans and the. And the British. And then Montgomery finally got everything he needed and turned around and started kicking their ass. And Rommel had to retreat because his.

[Eli Double Tap]

North Africa.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, North Africa.

[Brandon]

North Africa.

[Eli Double Tap]

The British General Montgomery. Yeah, I got you.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

You were like, south Africa. I don't think the Germans made it to South Africa.

[King Trout]

North Africa retreat through the Congo.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah. I'm in North Africa. I'm sorry.

[Brandon]

That's a weird look. We're starting here, guys. Why?

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, so Johannesburg's going down. Sorry. I've been. I've Been to Namibia and South Africa, but I meant North Africa. My bad.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was very confused for a moment.

[Ginger Billy]

No, my bad.

[Brandon]

Yeah, man. They made it that far.

[King Trout]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

And then I think Stalingrad's a pretty cool story too.

[Brandon]

That's insane, dude. Like a lot of people don't realize.

[Ginger Billy]

Just a meat grinder, man.

[Donut Operator]

Yes.

[Ginger Billy]

You know, and for the Germans to come in and bomb everything like they did. And screwed herself. Really. Because now the Russians have so many places to hide. And of course they're just throwing. They don't care. Throw them at them. Throw them at them. They die. Cool. Throw more at them.

[Brandon]

When the male population dropped to like it was. They lost 10 to 1.

[Eli Double Tap]

They lost so many fucking young men. But like I don't.

[Ginger Billy]

And it was like.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like one of the biggest mistakes. The Germans.

[Ginger Billy]

Horrible.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like attacking.

[Ginger Billy]

They didn't have to have it. It was just significant for or under.

[Eli Double Tap]

They had a fucking treaty with them.

[Brandon]

Yep.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

Was it Enemy at the Gates? The Russian.

[King Trout]

Yes.

[Donut Operator]

The sniper duel when you said they bombed everything. Had so many places to hide all the. All the debris.

[King Trout]

Yeah, they were.

[Donut Operator]

They were tricky with such a good movie.

[Ginger Billy]

That's underrated like you said.

[Eli Double Tap]

I love that movie.

[Ginger Billy]

Stalin was giving him everything he needed. Yeah. Like he could have just left them alone and they would.

[Eli Double Tap]

The whole. The whole problem was Germany was a war economy and they had to keep the war going. They had to keep conquering or the whole system would stop. It's like when you got a beater car.

[Brandon]

Oh yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Germany was so rough after World War I. You know how when you got a beater car when you get it started, you're like, I'm not shutting it off because I don't know if I can start it again. That was the whole German economy and they conquered Europe and they're like, we can't cross the English Channel to get the British. The only place we can go is Russia in winter. And they did it and horrible.

[Ginger Billy]

They should have learned from Napoleon, man. Napoleon looking, you know, he did the same thing.

[Eli Double Tap]

If they would have stopped right there. If they would have stopped, there is a significant chance the world would have just went.

[King Trout]

It would have been. It would have been a three way

[Eli Double Tap]

cold war and most of Europe would be Germany.

[King Trout]

It'd be.

[Ginger Billy]

I mean, because they had what, 4 million Germans in Russia and so that many people would. On the Eastern front. Do you take them and push them on over and don't even do that. Then who's going to beat them?

[Brandon]

I don't think people realize how many people Died in Stalingrad or.

[King Trout]

I think it was the deadliest battle of all of human history. Or like in human history.

[Eli Double Tap]

I think more people may have died in Stalingrad than Allied.

[Brandon]

Other Americans.

[Eli Double Tap]

Americans in all of World War II or something.

[Brandon]

I think it was in all wars, like, we lost more. And because I think we lost like 14.

[King Trout]

We taught. We've talked about this before, but I can't remember the numbers.

[Ginger Billy]

But then what they. It was what, 300,000 that surrendered or more from. What was that? Group A or whoever it was the Germans had. Group, you know, army group, whatever it was.

[Brandon]

They just get. Dude, I'm trying to look up how many people actually died in the battle

[King Trout]

of Stalingrad, because they don't even the. The estimates. Like the 40, I was gonna say. Yeah, though. It's so crazy. It's literally like 150%. They don't.

[Ginger Billy]

They have no clue, dude.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[King Trout]

Could have been this many, could have been that many. No fucking clue.

[Eli Double Tap]

Not to go full conspiracy theorist or to make this way. Make a weird turn, but how do we look at those statistics of how many people died from one battle in World War II? But then also be like, guys, if 1% of the population dies from a plague, the whole world unravels. And it's like, didn't we lose 30% of the population of Russia? And Russia's still around. Like, people tend to find a way.

[Ginger Billy]

But didn't they say the Mongolians wiped out, like, a huge percentage of.

[Eli Double Tap]

They say that the Mongolian empire wiped out so many people that you can measure it in the carbon footprint in glaciers because they dropped, like, the gas levels in the atmosphere.

[Brandon]

Genghis Khan killed, I think it was of the world population.

[Eli Double Tap]

They lowered greenhouse gas emissions. They killed so many people.

[Ginger Billy]

But then after Genghis Khan, the. His son, whoever took over still was massacring too. I mean, it was years of them just destroying people.

[Eli Double Tap]

Whatever happened to them? They, like kind of. They popped up, they ran forever.

[King Trout]

They now they just do that weird singing.

[Eli Double Tap]

And now they're just like, I'm gonna go hang out in the mountains and Refined beef. How do you go selling Chinese stores,

[Ginger Billy]

being freaking, you know, the Mongols and tearing people up like that? It's just like, yeah, just stay out here on the plains and chill, man.

[Brandon]

The 30 is a third generation rule. That's. That's one of the earliest representations of that. It's the third. His grandchildren, everything over in the. And they just lost everything.

[Ginger Billy]

Well, then you see them fight to divide stuff and everything. It's not one Solid state anymore. What they, you know, kids will fight amongst kids to take certain parts and everything else.

[Brandon]

Oh yeah, well, even Russia, when they went into Russia, the. That one time, they killed their entire military because they lured them out, killed them. And then all the princes, kings or whatever, at that time frame they're like, oh. But then Genghis Khan was like, hey, pull back. We're way too far. We don't need that area. So they just had their military wiped out by this magical army that just fucked off, never came back.

[Ginger Billy]

So I just get your ass whooping. They go like, we just did it just to do it.

[King Trout]

The sea peoples.

[Brandon]

Imagine what, like, what did they do? Like, imagine some force comes, kills your entire military and then disappears.

[King Trout]

The sea people.

[Ginger Billy]

We just wanted to do it, to do it. Keep anything.

[King Trout]

Oh, it was the Egyptians, right?

[Ginger Billy]

Yes. And then the sea people.

[Brandon]

The sea people.

[King Trout]

So they like the ancient. I'm pretty sure it was the Egyptians. Ancient Egyptian records. And they were like. And then the sea people showed up. Just a huge army of dudes on boats, showed everything up, got back on their boats and off into the sunset. Nobody knows where they came from or who they are.

[Ginger Billy]

They have a no clue. But I know what happened.

[King Trout]

They're just called the sea people.

[Eli Double Tap]

Farm them for xp.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

Like seriously, they don't know what happened or anything.

[King Trout]

It was just people showed up on boats, fucked everything up, and then got back on their boats and left.

[Donut Operator]

It sounds like a such a Nord fucking type thing to do. Still, things leave.

[King Trout]

They didn't steal anything.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, go for it.

[Brandon]

Sorry, man, I've never heard of the sea people.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, I've heard that story before.

[King Trout]

Fuck.

[Brandon]

That's not like those old pieces of history are so interesting because again, it's like that's all they have. Sea people. What? A little more information on that? Nah, nope, just people showed up, killed a whole bunch of people and bounced. Genghis Khan's.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'm always very interested just in like, I don't know, imagine how much stuff we're misinterpreting from history. Like, imagine how much shit we're misinterpreting based on Egyptian hieroglyphics of like. Well, we think this is what this means. Like, no, they're.

[King Trout]

They're very confident that we know ancient Egyptian. No, no, we know the language.

[Eli Double Tap]

I know we understand the language, but. And maybe it's maybe.

[King Trout]

Oh, you're talking about like the metaphors.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'm talking about like metaphors and like cultural understanding. Like, imagine going. Imagine showing somebody 100 years ago, a conversation, a text message thread from today and be like, show me what they're talking about with emojis and GIFs and everything.

[King Trout]

That's where the meme of, you know, in, like, the Chinese history or whatever, like, these two kings had an argument, and then 400 million people died or whatever.

[Brandon]

The.

[King Trout]

The reason that they say that or, like, all the death counts in, like, ancient Chinese records is because of the way that they write numbers. Like, there's some expression in, like, ancient Chinese where instead of saying, like, a lot or a fuck ton, you're like, 400 million. Like, there's like a numeric. Like a numeric value that means a fuckload. And so people take that literally, and they're like, 400 million people died in this battle. It's like, no, no, there were not that many people in ancient China. Fucking stupid.

[Brandon]

I agree.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

I have a. I have a video that you need to watch of mine if you haven't yet, if you're into the German tank shit.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, yeah, definitely.

[Eli Double Tap]

You know who Percy Hobart is?

[Ginger Billy]

I've heard of the name.

[Eli Double Tap]

You got to watch that. You would love it. Percy Hobart, if you like Rommel and them. Yes, he's the one that Rommel got all of his tactics and from.

[Ginger Billy]

He was an American commander.

[Eli Double Tap]

British.

[Ginger Billy]

British commander.

[Eli Double Tap]

He was a British commander that after World War I, he basically. They had invented tanks in World War I, but they were very much like, there's no radios. There's not. It's a. It's a fucking metal box with a machine gun. Drive straight. Tell you, fucking die or kill them first. Like, that was the strategy. Well, between World War I and World War II, he was like, I think this is gonna replace horses on the battlefield. And everybody was, like, writing him off.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

And he was the first guy to actually get radios in inside of tanks and start doing actual coordinated battle movements with tanks and had all his guys drilling this way, and he wrote papers, and he basically.

[Ginger Billy]

But they came up throwing him off. Like, they didn't want to do it right.

[Eli Double Tap]

Because at the time in America experienced this too. Pretty much everybody experienced this with tanks, all the guys that had already been in cavalry, you know, horses. And for 20 years, they're like, no, you're not. That's not replacing us. Blah, blah, blah, shut the up. And we're a higher rank. So they kick them off to the side. It happened in Britain and America pretty much everywhere else I've ever read about it. So they always just kicked him off to the side and he Wrote papers on, like, potential tactics, Rommel and them. I, like, had personal copies of his papers and stuff. And that's what they used to come up with, the blitzkrieg attack into France.

[Ginger Billy]

Beat him with their own plan and, well, I mean, bid him with the British.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, then they called him back after. So Percy Hobart comes back and they're like, we need to do some crazy tank shit. You're the fucking guy. Like, he had been basically, like, ostracized and kicked out of the military.

[Ginger Billy]

Did you do a video on this guy?

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Okay.

[Ginger Billy]

I watched it.

[Brandon]

Okay. Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

So, I mean, he had been.

[Ginger Billy]

Because everything you say, I'm like, man, that sounds really familiar. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

He got, like, kicked out and he was just like a National Guard guy at his hometown in his 40s. And then they came back and they're like, we got this big operation called D Day. We got to figure out how to get fucking tanks up a beach. And he's the guy that came up with all the crazy tanks. I don't know if you've seen them, but, like, they're called Hobart's Funnies. Like the one that lays the road in front of it for all the other tanks to drive up. He developed that. He developed the flail tanks that blow up the mines.

[Brandon]

He was driving.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Autism. And he's like, yeah, we got tanks that make flamethrowers. We're strapping bridges to these tanks. Like, it's an awesome.

[Ginger Billy]

You know, with the Germans, man. What I didn't realize is, yes, they developed the blitzkrieg and everything, but they were not fully mechanized. They had like 800,000 horses. Oh, yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's a huge thing.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I. I thought they were fully mechanized.

[Brandon]

Stop. Hold on. There's a quick ad. This actually worked really good with my Metal Gear Solid shirt. Yo, Poncho. Poncho this pattern dog Poncho. What are you thinking? I will say, I get it why the guys always wear these. They are comfortable, they are breathable, and they look fantastic. Short sleeve or long sleeve, you got options. And usually when I'm buying shirts, especially button it is a long sleeve so I can roll them up and then I just carry. It's comfortable. A little bit of stretch and then easy to take care of. But if you're breathable, dog, you will win. And Poncho will have a size that will work for you. Now, out of these feel. Have you ever wrapped yourself in a cloud? Dudes, dude, just go. Go try one on. You just gotta go try it on look, the, the guys, these have the pearl snaps and they always talk about the pearl snaps. One thing, especially as a camera dude, this, this little guy, this is the stuff that makes me happy when companies do, because this, it, it does clean your glasses, your optics, your, you know, your glass, whatever you need. You have a micro towel fiber built in. And phone, phone goes right there. Gear up for summer with poncho. Go to ponchooutdoors.com unsub and enter your email to get $10 off and free shipping off your first order. That's P O N C H O outdoors.com/ unsub head there. Drop in your email and get $10 off plus free shipping.

[Ginger Billy]

But then you realize they were actually. They had a lot of horses.

[Eli Double Tap]

They relied heavily on horses. So that's actually funny with the jeeps, because the America, we didn't really use horses in World War II. Everything we did was trucks and jeeps. And when the Germans first captured an American jeep, because the American jeeps were used in World War II, literally packed down in. Into a crate smaller than this table. And they were so easy to assemble. An American, untrained American could just open this fucking crate with a crowbar and put a Jeep together and drive it off very quickly.

[Brandon]

10, 10, 20 minutes. It's crazy. I watched a video and they're like, oh, it clicks together. Do you know where they put the gas tank? I never realized because of being able to stack it. Where they place the gas can, which is the one bad part, under the driver's seat.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, wow.

[King Trout]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon]

Extremely flammable. Diesel gases. Right.

[King Trout]

It's like the Russian personnel carrier. I can't remember the abbreviation for it, but the fuel tanks are in the back doors, so if you shoot from behind, it sprays flaming gas onto everybody inside.

[Ginger Billy]

Brilliant.

[King Trout]

Is great technology.

[Ginger Billy]

One designed for freaking engineers, man.

[Eli Double Tap]

But Jesus. Also random thing, because we were looking at these jeeps, me and Ethan, when we went out to a museum, the headlights.

[Brandon]

Oh, yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

You open the hood, the headlights you can. Like, if I'm looking at in the hood right here in the headlights are right here. You can literally grab the headlights, pull a pen, and swivel them in so the headlights shine into the engine bay so you can work on it in the dark.

[King Trout]

What?

[Eli Double Tap]

It's fucking sweet.

[Brandon]

Their hands, they go, dude, how.

[Ginger Billy]

How is engineering back in the 40s better than it is now, man? That's wild.

[Eli Double Tap]

Fridge from the 40s.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, yeah, they're the fridge.

[Eli Double Tap]

40s were like insane. Spinny eye.

[Ginger Billy]

Like, they got the little thing where you can turn the whole. It rotates.

[Eli Double Tap]

They're putting like 40 like the whole shelf pulls out. They're putting like 45 pound weights on it.

[King Trout]

And dude, those things are so expensive.

[Ginger Billy]

But they're talking about how kitchens back then were made for like to. Yeah. Instead of now. It's just.

[King Trout]

Yeah. Cuz women actually cooked.

[Ginger Billy]

Women's was in the kitchen, son.

[Donut Operator]

The stove tops and ovens from back then are awesome, man.

[Eli Double Tap]

Hannah showed me. She's like if we ever remodel our kitchen, I want to get this. And she showed me this oven and it was like. It was an absurd amount of money.

[King Trout]

It's one of those French ones, but

[Eli Double Tap]

it looks like an old timey oven like that. But then I was like looking at the reviews and they're just like it's gonna last forever.

[King Trout]

It's just pretty.

[Eli Double Tap]

There's. Well my thing that I liked is they're like. There's nothing digital in this thing. It's fucking knobs and gas lines.

[King Trout]

It's some French company. I can't remember but I know exactly the ones you're talking about.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, I went through that shit with. With my. I got a new oven and it has like a computer in it. Oh no, I heard you about that board Fried. I didn't have an oven for two months because they're like. Well that one got discontinued because it's a different color and the different colored ones, even though they're the same, have different software.

[King Trout]

Why the. My socks gotta connect to WI fi.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, dude, that's. My wife went with a dryer that's just got turn knobs. Just the old school.

[Eli Double Tap]

Speed Queen.

[Ginger Billy]

Yes.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's what that got.

[Ginger Billy]

That's what she's got there.

[Eli Double Tap]

All he loves.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah. We got Speed Queen.

[Eli Double Tap]

The first. The four. The first car company to just make old school. A medium sized truck.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

With a manual transmission and nothing else. It like no computers. No. It's gonna be.

[King Trout]

It's gonna be illegal to do that because all the car companies are gonna lobby the out of the government. It's the reason you can't have like a key car or now, now you finally can.

[Ginger Billy]

But I would think Toyota did it

[Eli Double Tap]

with that Hilux type 10 that boxy looking. They're like 15 grand. They're selling everywhere else in the world. But I can't have one. LBJ was mad about chickens in the 50s or whatever. No, you can't. Well you could. You could if you paid the tariff.

[Ginger Billy]

It's an emissions line.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, it's Just the government. It's because chickens. It's because of chickens in the 1960s. That's why I can't have a Hilux. That's why you can't have a Hilux.

[King Trout]

Like a Chinese electric car. Those things are fucking bananas. And they're like, see the one where the freaking.

[Ginger Billy]

The Chinese got this SUV where if you got a flat tire, it will raise itself up any tire. If the tire is flat, the car will bring itself up off of that tire where you can change the freaking tire, dude, and then it will go back down.

[Brandon]

It's actually really smart.

[King Trout]

Well, they were producing dog shit cars. And then Tesla went over there and Tesla's like, they're gonna. Was like, we're totally gonna clean house. Well then the Chinese were like, oh fuck, we have competition. And they like really stepped up their game. And now they're like, their electric cars are fucking bananas. But you cannot get them in the United States.

[Ginger Billy]

But it seems like their quality is better than ours too, man.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, that's what they say. I think phones are the same way because I think they're like, their iPhone is Huawei is the phone. And I guess those phones are absolutely insane, but you're just not allowed to have them in America. Well, Chinese, Chinese spyware, yeah, all that stuff.

[King Trout]

But their gunman is watching everything.

[Eli Double Tap]

Cars are the same though, with how many cameras? And a Tesla has like I would imagine the cars.

[King Trout]

They're gonna catch you pissing right there, man.

[Ginger Billy]

That truck I got has got massage seats.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

And it's all. It's got cameras. Every freaking wear. Dude, everywhere. It's wild.

[King Trout]

Technology is crazy. Every time I back out of the driveway, it plays a video of a kid getting run over. Again.

[Brandon]

Oh, a new one. Gotta get that speed bump removed.

[King Trout]

That's not my joke. I stole it.

[Brandon]

But that was a good joke.

[Eli Double Tap]

What's going on with your truck?

[Donut Operator]

You don't know you got a truck? So I, I think. Wait, so It's. It was December 23rd of last year.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, Jesus.

[Donut Operator]

I'm driving through San Antonio. I've got an FT 250 Super Baja. It's like the coolest, the coolest truck I've ever bought. I'm so happy to get like you

[Ginger Billy]

bought a brand new.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, brand new. I was so happy with this truck. I had it for about a year. I'm driving through San Antonio. Some an illegal pulls out in front of me, no insurance. Like just comes off the shoulder right in front of me as I'm going 60. Destroy his little Honda CRV. Like, push the back all the way to the front. And of course, he doesn't have insurance. He was, okay, Makes your truck. My truck to pieces. Like, all the suspension and everything in the front's. Everything's. And so that was. That was December. It's still in the shop now.

[Ginger Billy]

They didn't total it out?

[Donut Operator]

No, they didn't total out. They said it's still fixable. And so State Farm, they're trying to put oem, like, junkyard parts into it. And the shop. Thank God the shop is like, we're not putting OEM parts into a Shelby. We're getting Shelby parts to put back into the structure.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, I bet they hate that.

[King Trout]

Don't.

[Donut Operator]

So they're fighting with each other. They've been fighting for what is six months now, almost fighting with the insurance

[King Trout]

to try and get it totaled just because.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, because I was like, guys, just total. Please.

[King Trout]

It's a collector car.

[Ginger Billy]

Then go back and get another.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, but they're. They're putting it. They're piecing it together and fighting me every bit.

[Ginger Billy]

Wow.

[Eli Double Tap]

But my.

[Donut Operator]

My whole thing is like, dude, is it really in the shop or. Because I haven't seen it in six months. I haven't been down there. Or like, are they ripping it around

[Brandon]

Mexico with, like, cocaine in the back of it?

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

Are the cartels just ripping this?

[Ginger Billy]

Cartels got your truck. Yep. Dang, man. That sucks, dude.

[Brandon]

Usually they would give you a rental car. Anytime I've got.

[Donut Operator]

I turned it down.

[Brandon]

Oh, okay. Because they usually do it for free, and I would figure that would expediate them fixing the vehicle.

[King Trout]

This guy is costing us $2 million in rental charges.

[Brandon]

Exactly.

[Donut Operator]

I should have got the. Just to sit in my driveway.

[Brandon]

I would do go and be like, hey, it's taking this long. I need that.

[Donut Operator]

I'm actually going to with them now. Thank you for telling me.

[King Trout]

Yeah. Just put a rental car in your driveway.

[Ginger Billy]

You drive.

[Eli Double Tap]

I have a Raptor Bronco.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, cool. Oh, the Bronco.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, dang. I even know they made them.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, they got a Raptor Bronco there. I really like it.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, that sounds sweet. The Broncos that are the. Like, the bigger ones you got look great. Now when it goes down to the little bitty ones, I'm like, bro, that's not a Bronco.

[Eli Double Tap]

The sports. The sports are, like a unibody piece of shit. And they also have, like, some. The worst safety ratings I've seen. And then you have, like, the normal Broncos.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

And then you have the Broncos that Have the. The Sasquatch kit with the bigger tires. Like the. The Wild track, the other one. And then you have the Raptor. And the Raptor is like, dude, this tires stick 18 inches out past the sun.

[Brandon]

Nice.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, see, that's pretty.

[King Trout]

Oh, one of those.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, that's pretty. Is it supercharged or turbo?

[Eli Double Tap]

I think it's turbo.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, that's sweet though.

[Eli Double Tap]

And then I have a Raptor F152. But I think I'm gonna. I'm gonna do a merch giveaway with that soon.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, nice.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[King Trout]

Because you were telling me something last night. You used to have a 4Runner.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, I had a.

[King Trout]

And then you had some complaint with it.

[Eli Double Tap]

I had a Forerunner. I. I love the Forerunner. It's. I love how basic it is. It feels like a car that's 10 years older than it actually is. Like, there's less technology, there's less. I love that aspect of it, but it is a gutless fucking turd.

[Ginger Billy]

Well, that's what I've heard. They're just top heavy and they don't. There's no power.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's a V6 and it has the gas mileage of a V8 and the power of a three cylinder.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, Lord.

[Brandon]

It's.

[Eli Double Tap]

That thing goes zero to 60 in three, 45 minutes. Yeah, like, it's like it doesn't have an accelerator. It's got a button that makes more noise when I'm trying to go fast.

[King Trout]

The engine louder.

[Eli Double Tap]

Cody, you drove it right after you wrecked your truck. You drove it for little while.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like, and it was slow. It'll go forever.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like the thing's gonna be unkillable. Like, I could drive it every day and then let my kid drive it for his first car and it'd be absolutely fine with 300,000 miles, but he's not going anywhere fast.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, I got you.

[Brandon]

I haven't thought about that. Like, I haven't had a lower power car in a long time. So, like, we need to get up to highway speeds, like, accelerate a little. And there. Yeah, I didn't think about like 100, 200 horsepower. Like.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon]

That'd be like a. Yeah.

[King Trout]

I was gonna say last year when we went on. We all went on vacation together. I got a rental car and it was like a Ford Focus or something. And we like pulled out of the airport and it like hit the gas to go on. And I'm like, watching cars go by. I'm like, come on, come on, come on.

[Donut Operator]

Fuck.

[King Trout]

I haven't driven a piece of Shit. Slow ass car in a long time.

[Brandon]

There's been a long ass time. I'm like, oh man. Because we got like the wagon now. Which? The new family wagon. I love that thing.

[King Trout]

Oh, that little audio.

[Brandon]

Got rsx.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, the same vacation I rented a minivan because I brought my family with me.

[Ginger Billy]

Some of my scoot.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, it was electric. Oh, electric minivan. And it was fast as shit. I hated driving it. Yeah, it was. It was the first time I'd ever driven an electric vehicle. And it was in a big city with like a lot of traffic. And like I was shocked at how much it was with me. I wasn't getting any feedback like from noise or like any of the normal feedback you get from a car. It was fucking with me super hard. Whereas like, oh, I'm going 70 and I feel like I'm going 35. This is weird.

[Brandon]

That's cool.

[King Trout]

Like code or. I mean, Brandon's. Steve and I mix you guys cybertruck. Like right when he first got it, he was like, do you want to. You want to drive it? I'm like, fuck it. Sure. That thing for as fuck off big as it is a. The acceleration is insane. Like it's ridiculous. And then this, the steering, like it's super tight and very responsive for how enormous because you get in it and it feels like a big truck, but

[Eli Double Tap]

it's just like double.

[King Trout]

Yeah, yeah. Both of them. Like, the turn radius is basically the size of the truck. It can almost spin 3 60s.

[Brandon]

The Hummer, I can turn around right there. Like.

[King Trout]

Well then the other thing too that I wasn't used to when driving electric versus gas is that when you let off the accelerator, it doesn't roll.

[Ginger Billy]

No, it's got that gear.

[King Trout]

Well, it like disengages almost instantly. So you let off the gas and it's like, yeah, we're stopped. Yeah, because it recharges.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

I still remember the first time I ever rode in an electric car was with Cody and his plaid. The first time I met him. It's like Tesla.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

That's kind of cool that things retarded fast.

[Eli Double Tap]

I thought you were fucking with me at first. You remember what you said?

[Donut Operator]

I know what.

[Eli Double Tap]

It was late. It was late at night. There was absolutely nobody out on the road. It was like private neighborhood, big straightaway road. Like nobody was out. And it was dark as out in Texas. No street lights. We would have seen anything within 10 miles. Cody just stops and he goes, I'm gonna put it in plaid mode.

[Brandon]

I'm like, all right.

[Eli Double Tap]

He Goes, all right, you ready? I go, yeah. And he goes, put your head on the headrest. And I'm like, are you serious? He goes, yes. And then he does it. I'm like, oh. So I do it too. I felt like I was hitting warp speed in Star wars, bro. It was insane. I was. Man, I couldn't believe how fast that thing accelerated.

[Ginger Billy]

Or dirt bikes. Y' all ride quads or dirt bikes?

[Brandon]

I haven't in a while.

[Ginger Billy]

Okay. So I'm a big quad guy. And a guy brought an 80 horsepower Stark Varg electric ATV to my house racing quad. I have a 350 Banshee two stroke. I've rode really fast quads. He's like, dude, just, just, I'm telling you, be careful. I'm like, yeah, man, I got this. You hit the gas on this thing. I honestly think if you just pressed it would do a flip. Yeah, like, I would hit the gas and rooster tails from dirt would go 30 foot high. Just. And it just sounds like. Like that. But it is the scariest, nastiest thing I've ever rose.

[King Trout]

80 horsepower.

[Ginger Billy]

80 horsepower, dude. I mean, I think it got up to like. I think he said it got it like 110 mile an hour or something like that. But it from 0 to 60 is

[Brandon]

just any of those little things are like those little rockets. Like, that is fucking wild to me. The super fat. What's the H1, that Kawasaki. It's like 350 horsepower.

[Ginger Billy]

The dirt, the motorcycle?

[King Trout]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

It's like, it looks like 3000 or 600cc bike, Cody, but it has 350 horsepower out the gate. And it is.

[Ginger Billy]

It's made for racist H2 or H2. Rude. They are. I die on one. I would die on it.

[Brandon]

People have.

[King Trout]

They have a racing four wheeler too. Kawasaki does. That came out like 2ish years ago because my girlfriend's dad had just bought one and she sat on the back and I like, I wasn't expecting how fast it accelerates. And she hadn't grabbed onto me yet. And I hit the. Hit the accelerator and just went. And she just got ripped off the back.

[Ginger Billy]

What was it you remember?

[King Trout]

I knew.

[Ginger Billy]

See, I've got a Kawasaki KFX440 and they got one called a 700. It's automatic. They'll scoot. They'll move, dude.

[King Trout]

Yeah, let me look.

[Ginger Billy]

They're nice.

[King Trout]

See if I can find it.

[Brandon]

Oh, my God.

[Ginger Billy]

Have you ever seen the race on the Isle of Man?

[Brandon]

Oh, dude, that is the most. I love watching that. The motorcycles. I am I don't know how they do that because on average you have this race that kills one to two people a year.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah. And man, you'll sit there and it'll be 10 of them come by and you just see it looks like one, just one. And it's like dude, that is why. And then I've seen people wreck and they launches them.

[Brandon]

I mean just there's treat Cody like there's no wrong. This is not a racetrack. This is a public.

[Ginger Billy]

Yes. They shut the whole town down for

[King Trout]

this race like Europe or something.

[Ginger Billy]

And they try to go as fast as they can to break a record and they have to sign a thing like you can't. You will die. You can die in this. Like there's people dying it every year, bro.

[Brandon]

If you. And there's elevation changes like they get airborne.

[Ginger Billy]

Just look up Isle of Man. TT Isle of Man or something. Just when you get. Get a minute, just look it up.

[Brandon]

Ever wake up and you're just like oh my God, I need something, I need something. Maybe an echelon or maybe like a lot of people need a nicotine pouch

[Eli Double Tap]

in the morning just to feel human.

[Brandon]

I'm the caffeine side of things. How many of those did you need each day to stop from crashing? Well, if you are into the pouch game, perhaps hold on. There might be something helpful for you. But Eli, you don't, you don't put pouches in. Well, these ones I don't mind because nootropics. That's right. With the adaptogens and the nootropics you are going to be focused, hyper focused for a few hours to say the least. And it's clinically proven. Now how does Ultra make this possible? Well, with, with a couple things. Infinity PX is like a clean, smoother caffeine alternative. L theanine. I'm hoping I'm saying that right. A amino acid that promotes calming energy and attentiveness. Alpha GPC nootropic for active mental and vitamin B6 and B12 which is a balanced mood and energy plant. Powered pouches to sharpen your mind and lift your energy. And if you're fasting or dieting, this is one way to curb those cravings. Curves my sweet tooth. Ultra is the ultimate guilt fruit pouch delivering instant focus and mental clarity without nicotine or caffeine.

Oh, so that Kawasaki H2, they have video right here. Pulls a wheelie at 155 miles per

[King Trout]

hour because the power, that's what I think.

[Brandon]

You're going 55 and you gun it. It goes.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, that's what I want to do. No, no, no, no. 55, that's bad. And you can probably get there in two, half a second.

[Brandon]

I don't know. The older I get, I'm like, the quad. I could see. But even then, as you're saying that

[Ginger Billy]

crazy one, you're like, see, that's, man, that's why these. He's the only reason my child is the only reason I don't do too stupid anymore. You know what I'm saying? If I didn't have him, I'd be doing. But

[Eli Double Tap]

how happy are you that you were no longer a cop by the time E bikes became prevalent?

[Donut Operator]

Oh, God.

[Eli Double Tap]

Because I've thought about, like, I got. I did a sponsorship for an E bike company a while back, and it's like a dirt bike with, like, the big fat tires. It's like 30 miles an hour without me pedaling. I was like, dude, if I was a crone, no cop could catch me on this. I'd be. There's no fences and yards in Iowa. I'd be bombing through residential people to yard. You'd never catch.

[Ginger Billy]

What brand was your doors, Aventon? I think I had one sent to me. Big tires.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

And it had a twist throttle.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. That's what this one has. Like a motorcycle that goes to 30 miles an hour on a bicycle.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was like, uncatchable to a police officer.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Be impossible.

[Donut Operator]

Well, that's, I mean, it's happening now. The takeovers, the, the bikes where they'll get like a hundred of those in a city and just, you see, the cops try and catch them and everyone just. They might catch three people out of a hundred.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

I've seen where they do, like, the big dirt bike quad, like the rides or whatever.

[King Trout]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

And it'll be all of them. And what do you do? You can't catch them.

[Brandon]

There ain't no way I, I the, the idea of them not having a sound, which on a motorcycle especially doing lane splitting. It's like, you want that exhaust? Hey, somebody's coming.

[King Trout]

But silently. Some assholes by at 30 miles an

[Ginger Billy]

hour at least you can hear them come up on you on the interstate. You can't hear it.

[Brandon]

There's a terrifying California can Lanes place. So it'll be interesting Seeing what happens with that.

[Ginger Billy]

Because

[Brandon]

you just getting flung out. Really?

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

You get catty bolted.

[Brandon]

Yeah. Yeah. Not gonna have a good time.

[Ginger Billy]

Be bad.

[Brandon]

Do you do any. Any other kind of. So fighting cars. Anything else? Are you like, fucking. Just love it, man.

[Ginger Billy]

I have a issue where if I go into something like, he wanted to race dirt bikes. My child want to race dirt bikes. A month. I got five dirt bikes. He wanted to do jiu jitsu. I got him two GS. I mean, Marcus Demetrius Johnson. And I go into it with him. It's like, whatever he wants to do, I'm going in it with him and we going full on. No.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Because you can't let him get better at it than you.

[Ginger Billy]

I know, right?

[Eli Double Tap]

I'm not going to send you to learn how to go fight. So you beat my ass. Absolutely not.

[Ginger Billy]

Y' all see, he's a big kid, dude. So he's hard to handle already. I just tase him if I got

[Eli Double Tap]

to, but he's not gonna turn around two years later. You're choking me.

[Ginger Billy]

No, no. Nah. So he.

[Brandon]

He wanted to win. Where did Taser come from?

[Ginger Billy]

Right in the ball. Now, how old are y' all fellas?

[Eli Double Tap]

32.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, young and 48. You ain't 48. Shut up, man.

[King Trout]

Google me.

[Ginger Billy]

How old are you?

[Donut Operator]

38.

[Ginger Billy]

I'm 38, too.

[Brandon]

41.

[Ginger Billy]

Okay. So y' all know about the same. All of us. Maybe him. Pokemon was big when we was growing up.

[Eli Double Tap]

Not that young. Yes. I still remember getting 10 Karat Gold Pokemon cards in my Burger King Happy Meal. All right.

[Ginger Billy]

Okay. That's so false, man. I don't believe it.

[Brandon]

It's true.

[Ginger Billy]

48 years old.

[Eli Double Tap]

I will cut you open and count the ring right now. I know. That's a fucking lie.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, that's a lie.

[Brandon]

Bloody weird feeling things. Where's the rings at?

[King Trout]

I was born February 24, 1978.

[Brandon]

Happy belated birthday.

[King Trout]

Thank you.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, but I'm. He wanted to get into Pokemon cards. Oh, and then Daddy has good. He don't even care no more. Here I am getting during packages every day of Pokemon cards.

[Brandon]

Are you popping?

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, man, yes. And then if y' all heard this app called Whatnot.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yes.

[Ginger Billy]

Don't download it. Dude.

[King Trout]

What is it?

[Ginger Billy]

It's a freaking auction app. And they auction sports cards. Sports memorabilia and Pokemon cards.

[Brandon]

Huh?

[Ginger Billy]

And you already know I got an addiction problem. And so when I get on more

[Brandon]

expensive, you go back to drugs.

[Ginger Billy]

Dude. Stupid. I accidentally won a four. I accidentally bid 450 on a card. The Other night and won it.

[Brandon]

Damn. How do you accidentally.

[King Trout]

It was typing a number. Accidentally hit page.

[Ginger Billy]

You just slide. Well, it was at 30 and when I did it, it went up to 450 because they just bit it that fast. And I hit 450 and won the card. I mean, I. Yeah, I. I was just. I go into everything a little too hard.

[Eli Double Tap]

Some of the sports memory, like, because sometimes I'll do a fat files video on like a sporting event or whatever and then I'll like, just doing my research, I'll come across some memorabilia and like, sometimes you can get some really cool stuff really cheap.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

And I've bought. I bought a. When I did the Broad Street Bullies, the Philadelphia Flyers, when they beat the. Out of the Soviets and like made them quit at halftime just because they were actually turning it into a street fight.

[Ginger Billy]

The.

[Eli Double Tap]

The main dude, that was the Philadelphia Flyers enforcer Dave the Hammer Schultz.

[Ginger Billy]

Yes.

[Eli Double Tap]

Who has like the record for the most time in the penalty box. And he's had. He's got all these crazy records for getting in fights. I got an autographed Philadelphia Flyers jersey from him for like $200 with papers and certified. I was like, yeah, that's mine. That's going on. Wow, this is awesome. Like, you can find some like really cool memorabilia. If you're not trying to make money and you just want something cool, you can get some cool.

[Ginger Billy]

That's my thing. I want to collect stuff. You don't realize now, man, how many people will buy these Pokemon cards and freaking scalpel like ridiculous amounts of prices that they scalping these things for. It is wild.

[King Trout]

I saw. I can't. I went to Target for the first time in like three years a few months ago. And yeah, I. As I'm walking in, it's, you know, normal. Every, you know, family you ever seen at Target or wherever. And then like, he looked like a stereotype of a greasy Redditor. He like comes in and he's like fidgeting around. I'm like, I bet that motherfucker's going straight to the Pokemon cards. Sure as went over to the card aisle and then dumps everything they have into his cart.

[Ginger Billy]

Good guy Pokemon cards, cuz. Slobs like that dude, I was at

[Donut Operator]

Walmart up here the other day and there were dudes wearing jerseys like, like team jersey scalpers that were waiting for them to restock the shelves.

[Ginger Billy]

Yes, they will sit in line, man. They know at our Walmart, they know when they gonna be there and they'll sit in line and Wait for these

[Donut Operator]

guys had a whole club. They were. I've never seen a scalper fucking jersey before.

[King Trout]

And now I've seen. They put, like, little cards up on the rack and it's like, see cashier to get fucking Pokemon cards.

[Brandon]

Yeah, yeah, well.

[King Trout]

And you can only buy, like, one at a time or two.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brandon]

And they will freak out if you do that. I thought I can, but what you telling me I can't buy them? That's against my rights. And, like, this is a business home. They can tell you exactly how many you can buy. America.

[Donut Operator]

You know what's not illegal, though? Reaching into someone's cart and taking their Pokemon cards and then buying them.

[Brandon]

Mm, yeah. That's legal, right?

[King Trout]

Yeah, it is. Nobody owns it at that point. The store owns it.

[Brandon]

The car. Right.

[King Trout]

He's saying when you're. You're.

[Eli Double Tap]

You're.

[King Trout]

You're both in an aisle at Target, you can just reach over and take shit out of their cart.

[Brandon]

I thought you were saying, like. I said, I heard car. I was like, you're reaching car and pull.

[King Trout]

Because it's the store.

[Donut Operator]

I mean, I do that anyways.

[King Trout]

It's store property at that time.

[Brandon]

Because then it's just. They're not going to say anything. That's mine.

[Eli Double Tap]

Now this. But you paid for their gun. You could just grab it.

[Donut Operator]

We pay taxes. It's literally on my challenge coin.

[Ginger Billy]

Which mine is yours? Oh, that is freaking cool.

[Brandon]

And then read it gives a donut.

[Ginger Billy]

Dude, that's awesome.

[King Trout]

You pay taxes.

[Brandon]

Oh, cool.

[Ginger Billy]

Dude, that is really cool. I have a lot of these from

[Brandon]

being on the road on your other one.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, sweet.

[Brandon]

We got two up there.

[Donut Operator]

I have no more.

[Brandon]

The donut ones. What's the most you spend on a card then?

[Ginger Billy]

I think that 450 was the most I spent on a card.

[Eli Double Tap]

That was a lie, but go ahead.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, but I mean, I didn't tell you how much I spent the whole week, like, in two days, I spent a good bit of money.

[Brandon]

What do you do? Are you just collecting them, grading them?

[Ginger Billy]

Man, I have. It's the freaking. Just the bid, you know, it's like the high of winning it.

[Brandon]

Oh, yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

And then also the hive. Opening the pack.

[Brandon]

Oh, yeah, dude. Popping paxes, bro.

[Ginger Billy]

Yes, man.

[Donut Operator]

Have you done any first edition stuff? Like old school 1998?

[Ginger Billy]

So expensive.

[King Trout]

Dude, it's so expensive.

[Ginger Billy]

Like getting on websites and trying to get these people want like $20,000, $10,000 for this stuff. Yeah, yeah. It's like, I can't do that.

[King Trout]

I had all of mine in a storage tote in my parents basement.

[Ginger Billy]

You still got them?

[King Trout]

I do, but my mom, I was talking to my mom, this is like a year, two years ago. And she goes, oh yeah, your nephews found all your old toys. And they were having so much fun with all your stuff. And I was like, can you send me a picture of what they were fucking with? Dude, they fucked up my old Pokemon cards.

[Ginger Billy]

Dude, you could be a millionaire.

[King Trout]

Could have.

[Brandon]

This is jt when he called me that one time last year and he's like, holy shit. I went to my mom's, my parents place, and in the attic, look what I found. And it is all first.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh my gosh.

[Brandon]

And they're all like, what? He's like, oh. Because they just stayed in the attic for 20 years.

[King Trout]

Mine were perfect.

[Ginger Billy]

Jackpot right there.

[King Trout]

I told him my nephews ripped through all of them. Pulled them out of the sleeves and

[Ginger Billy]

we're playing with them.

[Brandon]

Look how but like the condition of all every. It's like a gym. Yeah, they're like just mint charizards.

[Ginger Billy]

Zim yours?

[Brandon]

No, it's jt. Is he. He again. He's like, oh, I went home and I found them in the fighter, bro. 20 years ago.

[Ginger Billy]

Ain't that lucky. That's awesome.

[Brandon]

I know someone. Dude, those cars no one would have seen. I mean, you again grew up in that same time frame where it's like,

[Ginger Billy]

how, I mean, how did this happen?

[Donut Operator]

It's a car.

[Ginger Billy]

It's a piece of cardboard. Yeah.

[Brandon]

Magic the gathering.

[Ginger Billy]

Jake Paul had one that was worth 16 million. He sold it for $16 million.

[King Trout]

Oh, that's that market super inflated. I made a whole video about it.

[Ginger Billy]

A lot of people told me at some point it's got a crash. It's got.

[Brandon]

It does. It went up and down and again it is a weird. It's hard. I don't know.

[King Trout]

It's working the same way that the housing market did in like 2008. Because the like the value or the valuation is inflated. Oh.

[Brandon]

By like especially by those guys doing what they're doing.

[King Trout]

Because when, when. Yeah, when like a Logan Paul or Jay Paul, whichever it was, does something like that, it like skyrockets the market. But the, the like the amount of value has not changed, it's just inflated with bitcoin.

[Brandon]

Who's the guy that just did that with like only 20?

[Eli Double Tap]

Michael Saylor.

[Brandon]

Yeah, Michael Saylor.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like he sold because he, he owns the like 800,000 bitcoin. His company does.

[Donut Operator]

Holy.

[Eli Double Tap]

He was always. That's his Whole company is. That's all they do, is they acquire bitcoin. And he was always very much like, I will never sell bitcoin. I will never sell bitcoin. He sold. The news came out he sold some bitcoin. They didn't say how many. The market tanks like $10,000 per coin.

[Ginger Billy]

Was this like three weeks ago crap, dude.

[Brandon]

Yeah, it was great.

[Eli Double Tap]

The market banks, like, below $60,000 per coin. I think it got down to like 57, 000 per coin from like 70.

[Ginger Billy]

It tanked.

[Eli Double Tap]

It comes out. He sold 32 coins. He sold 32 of his 800, 000 and then turned around and bought a ton.

[King Trout]

More speculation, dude. Scared everybody.

[Brandon]

Yes.

[Ginger Billy]

Brilliant, man. What a marketing strategy.

[King Trout]

Yeah. Borderline criminal, some would argue, but God dang it, boy.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, I'm allowed to sell my assets.

[Brandon]

Yeah. I love. He can just say it. Well, but the Pokemon is like leads back to that. It's the inflated number change instantaneously because

[King Trout]

at the end of the day, it's a fucking piece of cardboard. It's just like cash, I guess, in that way. But there's nothing backing it.

[Brandon]

But any of those old comics or anything. It's just wild that they're worth that much.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, man. Yeah.

[King Trout]

It's a big bubble. And it's going to pop one day.

[Brandon]

Nobody knows when. Well, do you think it will pop or just.

[Eli Double Tap]

I love that. The entire collectible market's reserve asset is autism.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

We're constantly betting that there's going to be more autism, that are going to be wealthier, and they're going to want this shit.

[King Trout]

One day there will be another billionaire who also thinks Superman is cool.

[Eli Double Tap]

That is the underlying reserve asset of collectibles.

[King Trout]

So we're good.

[Brandon]

Yeah, that's pretty safe bet. Yeah. That is not changing unless they cure it. Oh. Oh, yeah. You better not cure it.

[Donut Operator]

More Tylenol.

[King Trout]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

We need more vaccines.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[King Trout]

No, there won't come a day when people will look at comic books and think, I don't know. It seems kind of gay to me

[Brandon]

watching that just how much anime took off. Because, Cody, you. It was like, nerdy to want to see anything. Pokemon.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, man, you still in high school? I'm like, didn't nerds watch Yu Gi oh and Dragon Ball Z? Like, what kind of. And now you know it's popular. It's all good, man. God, yeah. It's so popular.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yu Gi oh is better than Pokemon. Nah, dude, I'll die on this hill. The card game itself, I ain't about

[Ginger Billy]

that I'm just about collecting.

[Eli Double Tap]

Dude.

[Ginger Billy]

I don't care about card game.

[Eli Double Tap]

Actually playing the game.

[Brandon]

I don't know. I forget Pokemon's not just trading cards. There's an actual. Always forget that.

[King Trout]

I've never, never played it. I don't have no idea how it works. Energy.

[Ginger Billy]

Well I think they. They take you know. And Magic the Gathering's big too.

[Brandon]

Oh yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'm not going to pretend I know how to play that. Yu Gi oh simple then monster. It's got this many attack points.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[King Trout]

We used to play bigger.

[Eli Double Tap]

I win.

[King Trout]

Yu Gi oh in middle school was. Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

Big.

[Ginger Billy]

That's kind of like Pokemon. They got their little powers and this one had 350 xp. This and have whatever.

[King Trout]

And then you've activated my trap card.

[Ginger Billy]

Yep.

[Brandon]

God, I can't. I don't think I know anyone that actually has played that out loud. I'm like oh yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

It's.

[Brandon]

It's a game.

[Ginger Billy]

They just collect them.

[King Trout]

Well there, there's the competitions go crazy for like the card game because I just heard a story about it was like some like sweaty 35 year old man was at one of the competitions and he was playing. I think he got in a fight with like a like a nine year old who was like. Because it's. The kid was. I might be pulling this out of my ass but it seems too specific for me to be making it up. But the kid was like the you know, gold tier player or whatever and so was this grown man and the grown man ended up getting in like a verbal altercation with a literal child and there was a video of it and they were like sounds right. Yeah.

[Brandon]

Like this adds up.

[Ginger Billy]

I do that every day.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[King Trout]

The difference is you may him.

[Brandon]

Because like Magic the Gathering that I. I played. I think we've all played some eda Dramatic. Okay.

[King Trout]

Cody is.

[Ginger Billy]

No, I ain't never played it.

[Brandon]

That dude. Everything turns into a car game. League of Legends, like I bought betas.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's a card game.

[Brandon]

Wow. Rift. No idea.

[King Trout]

Don't they have like an auto. What is it called? Auto chess or something? Kind of works the same way.

[Eli Double Tap]

What's it do?

[King Trout]

It's a. It's a. It's like a digital version. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know why I brought it up. I don't know shit about it.

[Eli Double Tap]

I mean.

[Brandon]

Yeah, a lot of those digital like Magic the Gathering. They have the digital version which is way cheaper to go in and play because magic cards. Oh I don't think People realize how much them bitches cost for a good deck.

[King Trout]

What's the one, like the Black Lotus or something?

[Eli Double Tap]

Didn't Post you buy that?

[Brandon]

No, he bought the one ring from

[King Trout]

the oh, yeah Collection.

[Brandon]

And they made and it really genius marketing. And an awesome idea is, hey, we're gonna make one fucking card. One. And it's going out in the world. Post bought it for $2 million or $2.5 million, but it is a one of one. And it's pretty cool. Every. We waited a week for it to get announced who got it, because we didn't know. Everyone was like, who the fuck got that? It was already getting speculated. Like 1.5 million, $2 million.

[King Trout]

It was just like some asshole in North Dakota went to Walmart and bought it.

[Brandon]

Yeah, he was actually. Yeah, it's one of the Northern. I want to say it's right around. Yeah, actually spot on. And he was like, what the fuck? Did a tweet or Post. And then Post Malone shot him a dm, was like, I'll buy that from you. And then they met up. They did like, a little event for it. And then he bought the card for like, 2.5 mil. I want to say for a card. It's wild.

[Ginger Billy]

No, man. I know. Thinking I spent 450 for a car makes me feel like a dumbass. $2.5 million. If you. If you spend $2.5 million on a card, you just. Yeah, you got money, man.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

Post Malone pocket change. You know what I'm saying? Oh, that's who bought.

[Brandon]

Okay.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay.

[Brandon]

He bought it for 2 million.

[Ginger Billy]

What color was this?

[Brandon]

The one ring. So it was magic.

[Eli Double Tap]

Magic.

[Brandon]

Magic. The gathering with the Lord of the Rings set. That's the.

[Ginger Billy]

That.

[Brandon]

Yeah. That is the only card. And it's marked with and it's one of one. Is a one of one.

[Ginger Billy]

God dang. Okay.

[Brandon]

They're really, really cool. There was a it.

[Eli Double Tap]

Not even they.

[Brandon]

That is so wild to me. Do Verstappen. So I have Verstappen's rookie card, I think branded. And I have. I love collecting.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, me too.

[Brandon]

The one Verstappen card. I was like, oh, here's what. Oh, I never heard of this one. It was rare. I didn't realize how rare, but had, like, a piece of tape, his autograph, and a piece of his gear on it. Like, really cool card. I was like, yeah, dude. Okay, let's see how much it sold. $550,000.

[Ginger Billy]

You got that one? No, dude. Have you ever seen the card? The card Called the Fuck Face card. Have you ever seen that one? Okay, so back in the 90s, it was a baseball player and they were taking team pictures. Well, his buddies put Fuck Face on the bottom of his bat. Took the pictures. Oh, Topps came out with the pictures. Yes.

[Brandon]

Oh, he snuck that.

[Ginger Billy]

Like a very, very limited. Well, his buddies. Did he even know he did it? He didn't know. So he.

[Brandon]

This is actual Tops car.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, yeah. So Tops only released after they figured it out. They didn't release but so many. So this guy ain't even really a good. He was nothing special. But that card.

[Brandon]

Yeah, just look at that card real quick. Connor missed the story, so this is gonna be good.

[Ginger Billy]

See if you see anything different about that card.

[Donut Operator]

Fuck Face.

[Ginger Billy]

Yep, there you go.

[Brandon]

That's how it always goes. If it's like that restriction of PlayStation 1 when the most expensive PlayStation 1 game is a college basketball game because they only made a handful because it fucking bombed. No one bought it and then they destroyed it. That shot that price up.

[Ginger Billy]

Ain't that wild 200 garbage game that nobody wanted to buy because it's rare.

[Eli Double Tap]

That made it rare.

[Brandon]

Yeah, because it sucks ass.

[Eli Double Tap]

Some things are rare for a good reason.

[Brandon]

Like that shit's like, oh, what about. Did you have any of your old Pokemon cards or any of your class?

[Ginger Billy]

Man, I don't even know if I ever bought a pack, dude.

[Brandon]

Oh, you just watch it on tv?

[Ginger Billy]

No, we just poor.

[Brandon]

Oh, yeah, that too. Welcome to the table.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, man. So I don't think I ever even had any Pokemon cards, you know, until 38 years old, dude. That's sad.

[King Trout]

Good age to start.

[Ginger Billy]

Pokemon. Pokemon. Pokemon.

[Brandon]

I hope. I like that when you call people to buy their cards like, hey, you got Pokemon cards?

[King Trout]

They be like the streamer.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, yeah, man.

[Brandon]

I love this. So which one? Have you watched anyone else's content? Like Police Breakdown. There we go.

[Ginger Billy]

I see him. I watch him. Yep. Hey, what's wild, man?

[Donut Operator]

He.

[Ginger Billy]

He lived in the county. Right up from me. Like 20 minutes from me.

[Donut Operator]

I police like right next to him.

[Brandon]

No.

[Ginger Billy]

Yes. Yeah. That's cool. Crazy. Crazy. Yeah. Yeah. I've seen his content. Of course. I've watched a lot of his content.

[Brandon]

So it's a history thing. You just like.

[Ginger Billy]

I loved it, man, when that one. And just the way he does his content, like the. I don't know. It's just really good. Yeah. And yours is really good, too. It is. Yeah. It's awesome the way y' all to do that. It's great. It's really good man. For a 48 year old man. You have a. You got some good content.

[Brandon]

Thank you.

[King Trout]

Still got that. Yeah.

[Brandon]

Young energy, youthful eyes. Like with. Going for comedy. Who are some of your favorite comedians? I meant to ask that earlier because

[Ginger Billy]

I was like, Tom Segura. I've been to see him twice. I mean, I sit front row. Like he could spit on me because I. Tom Segura to me is just hilarious. Dave Chappelle, of course. Absolutely amazing. Bill Burr. I like Bill Burr. And God, what's the. Jeff, The Australian guy. He's hilarious. God, what is his name? Jeff.

[King Trout]

Jim Jeffries.

[Ginger Billy]

Jim Jeffries. Jim Jeffries. Oh, man, he's hilarious too. So those, those guys I like because I don't. I'm not a one line guy. I'm a storyteller, you know, in depth storytelling with punches in the story.

[Brandon]

Chappelle does.

[King Trout]

Really?

[Ginger Billy]

Yes, man. Yes, yes.

[Brandon]

One joke.

[Ginger Billy]

And I also love Rodney Carrington because Carrington, man, back in the. He's still funny as all hell, but back in his heyday, old redneck feller, just good storytelling, funny guy. So that would be my, my top guys.

[Brandon]

What do you think with like Tom Segura and then who's the Bert Kreischer? Yeah, what do you think? I like Burt. His other half or how did you.

[Ginger Billy]

I like Segura. Like. No, I think Bert Krecher is a really cool guy, nice guy, but his

[Brandon]

stand up is not one really good story.

[Ginger Billy]

And that one machine story really, you know, and there's no offense, I mean, I just. That's not. I've tried to. I've watched his specials, but they're just not my type of comedy. Sagura, to me is just hilarious. You know what I'm saying?

[Brandon]

What about now with your Matt Rifes or anything? They do crowd work. A lot of crowd work. Do you. Are you like.

[King Trout]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon]

Or.

[Ginger Billy]

Man, here's my. And Matt rife is. He's killed it. Absolutely killed it. But my question is, if he didn't look the way he looked, would he be popular?

[Brandon]

Just about to say.

[Ginger Billy]

Because he's not like the, The Netflix posters I've seen were not good. And I know I'm gonna get. I'm probably gonna get hate because, oh, he's jealous. Whatever. But the crowd work. Okay, that's. That's great, man. But to me, like, I want to see a set. I want to see you do a one hour. Like you wrote this, you know, punches in the. All that. But I just, I just really don't think that if he. If he were some regular Joe, that he would be where he's at the sets.

[Brandon]

Like Robin Williams. I haven't watched one of those old sets in a long time until I watched Robin Williams recently. The amount of energy that dude had.

[King Trout]

Cocaine is what that's called.

[Ginger Billy]

He was infamous for stealing jokes.

[Brandon]

Really?

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, infamous for stealing jokes. Yeah.

[Brandon]

I did not.

[Ginger Billy]

He would absolutely steal jokes in a

[King Trout]

heartbeat because he would sit at like, the back of the Comedy Store and just literally, like, literally write down other people's jokes that were killing.

[Eli Double Tap]

That was like the. When like, Rogan was starting to blow up with the Mexican dude, Carlos, because Mencia was huge because he had mind him. And see on Comedy Central, Carlos Menstelia. And Joe Rogan goes up, confronted him in person. And what the is that guy gonna do to Joe Rogan when nobody else in the country knew how to fight? And he's a got two jiu jitsu black belts and a Taekwondo. Taekwondo world championship or whatever the he had.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

And you know, Martin Mencia, too. I mean, he called him out and his career not after. And I've even performed at clubs where they're like, dude, he barely sells any tickets.

[King Trout]

He like, he basically, so far as I understand, is almost exclusively performing in, like, Mexico now.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, like, he. He does not sell tickets anymore.

[Brandon]

Who's the other one? Blew up and brother stole a bunch of money.

[King Trout]

Oh, Dane Cook.

[Ginger Billy]

Dane Cook to me was the early 2000s. Matt Rife. No offense. The women loved him. If you look out in the crowd, it's gonna be a bunch of horny women just out there. I just. His first special was okay, but I think it was just a, you know, he just wasn't that good to me, bro.

[Donut Operator]

You remember the movie Waiting? Ryan Reynolds, Dane Cook. Yeah, that's such a good, great man. Andy Millinakis.

[King Trout]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

And Dan Cook was in some funny movies, you know, right there in his heyday.

[Donut Operator]

He had the one where he. It was like a. Like a Costco.

[Ginger Billy]

He was yes, man.

[King Trout]

Employee of the month.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, that's a good movie.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, he had some great movies. I just didn't think his stand up was anything special.

[Brandon]

I mean, he made his money. Brother stole a lot of his money.

[Ginger Billy]

And then $10 million, I think, or something like it.

[Donut Operator]

Jeez.

[Eli Double Tap]

I used to love blue collar comics Comedy tour.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, yes.

[Eli Double Tap]

Middle school.

[Brandon]

Yeah, I loved it.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah. But when you watch it now, you're like. Like Ron White to me still.

[Eli Double Tap]

Ron White is hilarious. Ron White is Ron White still hilarious.

[Ginger Billy]

But when you Watch it now. It's like I can see why. I thought it was hilarious when I was younger.

[King Trout]

Yeah. When I was 14.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, yeah. No offense. Those guys are legends. Absolute legends.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, I always say the funny part is I wanted. In middle school, I wanted to be a comedian because I love watching Blue Collar Comedy tour. And then fast forward 15 years, I get to travel the country with my 4, 3 friends and at the end of every. It's just us four sitting on stage just like they do at the end of Blue Collar Comedy. And at the time, because I was 12, my favorite comedian was Larry the Cable guy and I'm the fat electrician.

[Ginger Billy]

It's great, man.

[Eli Double Tap]

So that's weird.

[Ginger Billy]

Manifested it.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[King Trout]

Have you ever heard him out of character?

[Ginger Billy]

Oh yeah.

[King Trout]

It's like jarring.

[Eli Double Tap]

I believe you.

[Brandon]

How you doing?

[King Trout]

Yeah, he's like, he's like, hey, yeah, I forget his like birth name, but he's like, yeah. I just called into the radio station that my friends ran and decided I was going to be this, you know, hillbilly character.

[Ginger Billy]

And he's from Nebraska.

[King Trout]

Ran with that for the, the rest of my career. It's like, oh, whoa. He's just, he's just a normal guy now.

[Ginger Billy]

Look at him.

[Brandon]

Loved him in cars.

[Ginger Billy]

Yep.

[King Trout]

Miter.

[Eli Double Tap]

I bet he made more money from that than he did a standup.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, career.

[King Trout]

Thousand percent.

[Eli Double Tap]

They were saying Eddie Murphy, Shrek. Shrek with Donkey is like after the. The residual checks and came in from Shrek and Dog, he's like, he put a audio recording studio in his house, said, I'm never doing a another movie ever again.

[King Trout]

They call Shrek the retirement film because Camera Diaz, Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy, like they have not done a film since they made so much goddamn money.

[Eli Double Tap]

They.

[Brandon]

Okay, so it was. They got royalties on the back. Yeah.

[King Trout]

And they are all infinitely wealthy because of fucking Shrek.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, the joke with Shrek was for a long time it was a punishment at the development studio.

[King Trout]

You have to go work on Shrek.

[Eli Double Tap]

You have to go. If you fucked up, they sent you to go work on Shrek. Like you weren't working on the big project. So it was like a side back burner project forever that they would basically like throw their ups at and I think.

[Brandon]

Sorry, right.

[Ginger Billy]

It.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[King Trout]

And DreamWorks.

[Eli Double Tap]

It went up against the Prince of Egypt or whatever it was.

[King Trout]

Oh yeah, they're really pretty Bible movie.

[Eli Double Tap]

It went up against the Prince of Egypt at the same time. And the Prince of Egypt was the one that they were like, this is what's Gonna crush. And Shrek suggests, you know, we'll try to recoup our money on the back end. And then Shrek was.

[King Trout]

Well, because it was, it was a spite studio.

[Brandon]

Yeah, DreamWorks was in spite. And that was specifically for Shrek where the owner was like, no, you're gonna figure this out. They did a complete reshoot. Michael Myers didn't have a Scottish accent as first.

[King Trout]

Well, it was, it was Chris Farley.

[Brandon]

Yeah, well, yeah, he died. Michael Myers did the entire movie. It. Washington. He was like, trust me, can I do this in a Scottish accent? And they're like, what? No, you filmed everything. What the fuck? He's like, just. Can we please do all the audio over again? Executives like Fat Bass. Okay. And then he redid it and they're like, that's. That's it. That's what we needed.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[King Trout]

Because his dad's accent, it's.

[Donut Operator]

Wow.

[King Trout]

His parents are Scottish, so. Okay, good.

[Donut Operator]

Every time I just think of Fat Bass.

[Eli Double Tap]

The Austin Powers were so good.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, man, they were.

[Eli Double Tap]

I love them.

[Brandon]

They changed 007.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's why all three of them were fantastic.

[Ginger Billy]

Yes. The part where he gets the golf cart stuck in the walls, that's to

[King Trout]

the point where like, if I, if I find myself in a spot where we call it Austin Power, like, oh man, I'm going to have to Austin Powers my way out of here.

[Ginger Billy]

The back and forth, just that that is just hilarious, dude. It's just great, man.

[Brandon]

That's why the 007, when they switched to Daniel.

[King Trout]

Daniel Craig,

[Brandon]

because of Austin Powers and how they made fun of James Bond and everything.

[King Trout]

That's why they're like, we gotta make it serious now. Yeah.

[Brandon]

They're like, yeah, we can't do any of that stuff anymore. We're gonna just change everything.

[Donut Operator]

Well, the way that Shrek beat that out, like beat that Bible movie out, it just comes back to. Yeah, it comes back to like, keep it simple. Stupid. Just kiss. And that's exactly what Hollywood is doing now with the A24 movies that are crushing. Simple plots, simple characters. And they're not just trying to blow everything up and use all sorts of CGI and shit.

[King Trout]

Was really good. Yeah, yeah. You don't. Don't need puppetry in a fucking 10 billion dollar budget.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[King Trout]

Just make a dope ass movie.

[Donut Operator]

Costs less than a million dollars to make that. And then it grossed like 180. The 180 million the first fucking weekend or some shit.

[Eli Double Tap]

You can just tell a good story.

[Brandon]

Yeah, yeah.

[Donut Operator]

Shrek's a good story.

[Ginger Billy]

Like they used to not have.

[Eli Double Tap]

Instead of million dollars of computer animation

[Ginger Billy]

after remake after remake.

[King Trout]

In fairness, the. The Prince of Egypt is a really good movie.

[Ginger Billy]

I ain't never seen it.

[Donut Operator]

I never seen it either.

[King Trout]

Really?

[Donut Operator]

I'd rather watch Shrek.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's all right, but it just.

[Ginger Billy]

It's a really good movie.

[Brandon]

It is.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's fine. But, like, for a little kid, Shrek is cool.

[King Trout]

Oh, Shrek is.

[Ginger Billy]

Have y' all ever seen Value?

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

I love that movie, dude. He's one of his favorite, my son's favorite.

[Eli Double Tap]

I put clips of it in my videos all the time.

[Ginger Billy]

Nazi Pigeons.

[Eli Double Tap]

And Valiant is about World War II carrier pigeons that are animated. And, like, the main character is a pigeon that goes into carrier pigeon training, and he learns how to be a carrier pigeon, and there's, like, Nazi falcons that are trying to intercept the carrier pigeons, and he, like, gets his mission done. It's a really good little.

[Ginger Billy]

It's awesome, dude.

[King Trout]

Is it children's movie?

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, it's called Valiant. Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, it's called Valiant. I always put clips of it in my videos.

[Ginger Billy]

Watch it all the time.

[Brandon]

Yeah. Yeah, dude, Shrek. That was the first animated show to win an Oscar. Plus, it won over 40 awards.

[Donut Operator]

What did it gross, like, in theaters?

[King Trout]

Oh, dude, it kills.

[Brandon]

Like, it destroyed every movie that year in revenue. Shrek.

[King Trout]

That movie still kicks ass. I just watched it at Christmas.

[Eli Double Tap]

It was.

[Brandon]

It was.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's so much fun having. Being an adult now and going back and watching movies that I watched when I was a kid and catching all

[King Trout]

the jokes that went over your head. Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, I had no idea that the bad guy in Shrek was named Lord Wad.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

For my entire childhood. That's hilarious.

[Brandon]

Based off of the Disney guy. That's.

[King Trout]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brandon]

Model that dude. Because he hated him that much. No, he's gonna look like him and be short and be a fucking dick. And that's his name.

[King Trout]

Yeah, he was, like, not the CEO of Disney, but.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[King Trout]

Yeah, I think it was the CEO because the. The guy who started DreamWorks had this idea for Shrek, and then they were like, no, that's fucking retarded. And so he quit, started DreamWorks, and then Shrek. Like, the amount of, like, references, because, like, Dula, the. The city or whatever is, like, making fun of fucking Disney World.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[King Trout]

It's just. Yeah, he was like. It was. The whole movie was like, fuck you, Disney.

[Brandon]

That's great. 500 miles in 2001. Dang it. And then do 2004. 933 million for the second one, 800 million. For the third, they. Fine, they can retire, especially on royalties. You're like, it's like the Star wars guy.

[Eli Double Tap]

Video games, toys, merch, licensing. Like that movie made so much money.

[Brandon]

Yes.

[King Trout]

Obi Wan Kenobi, that dude.

[Brandon]

That 2% or 3% of the toys off everything. Yeah. It was just like, oh, yeah, I'll do what 3%? Because they couldn't afford him. So we'll give you 3%. He's like, Fine. Because he hated that fucking. Like, he thought it was trash. And he's. Even when he was dying, he's like. But he also says. He's like, but I have a nice house now.

[King Trout]

Well, that's funny. I think it's the second one or the fucking seventh or whatever in chronological or. Yeah. Now in the new timeline or whatever, Alec Guinness, Obi Wan Kenobi, comes in and he's like the. You know, the force projection or whatever, where they're all blue and talking to people in their dreams. And he comes in. They're on Dagobah, Yoda's home planet or whatever. And he comes into frame. And then immediately his. His, like, ghost sits down on a log, which doesn't make any fucking sense because he's a ghost, but it's because Alec Guinness was like, fuck this. This is the lamest shit I've ever done. I'm not going to even stand while I read my lines like he made.

[Brandon]

But again, it was he 2.2% of the back end. So 100 million, 95 million out the gate.

[King Trout]

And he was like a big Shakespearean actor with this huge career. And that was at the very end of it. He's like, now every time someone approaches me, they go, oh, you're Obi Wan Kenobi. He's like, God, does it infuriate me. He spent his whole career and he's now he's only remembered as Obi Wan

[Brandon]

Kenobi, like in the 70s. Getting a check for 95 mil, though. But, you know, I'm fine with it. I'll make this work.

[Donut Operator]

So much cocaine. Yeah.

[King Trout]

Oh, I forgot he was Lawrence of Arabia and he was in the Bridge over the River Kwai or On the River Kwai.

[Brandon]

I don't know that one.

[King Trout]

It's the British POW. It's a really good movie. British POWs in Japan or in the Philippines, but under the. The Japanese Empire. Yeah. In the 50s or 60s, I can't remember.

[Brandon]

Mr. Ginger, any words or tips of advice? And what are you into next? What do the people get to look forward.

[Ginger Billy]

Comedy tour is over. So it is time to start building my contraptions again. Here, doodads. So we got some. We got some builds coming up.

[King Trout]

What are you building?

[Ginger Billy]

I have a Honda Ridgeline that I turned into a monster truck. Love it. Because Honda ridgelines are gay and I wanted to make it look more manly.

[King Trout]

Is that the QB one?

[Eli Double Tap]

It's the truck.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah. It's a big truck.

[King Trout]

Oh, with the gay things on it.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's like a minivan. They cut the back off.

[Ginger Billy]

It's a man van is what it's called. But it's nitrous injected. But we're gonna turn it into a lawnmower. Plan is get a bush hog, put it under there.

[Brandon]

That seems dangerous, but go on.

[Ginger Billy]

Well, we're gonna take a bush hog, put it on there. We're gonna winch it to where the bush hog can come up, up and down. That way we can adjust the amount of grass we want to cut. And I'm going to try to put some tan. The wheels on the back that's been like on a zero turn lawnmower. I'm gonna try to find big enough bush hog wheels to put on the back to where when I turn it, the truck will just like that and turn in a circle.

[Donut Operator]

Dude, that would do so good in protest.

[Brandon]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

It would slice some people up, man.

[Donut Operator]

On the content creation side, you ever watch Demolition Ranch build his crazy shit?

[Ginger Billy]

I've never seen him build stuff. I always saw his guns.

[Donut Operator]

So his. His second channel off the ranch, he would build crazy contraptions like that. And that was some of his best videos. Like, like view wise. Millions and millions of views you got.

[King Trout]

You got to show us.

[Donut Operator]

You building this stuff, man.

[Ginger Billy]

Well, see, that's the thing, man. My builds, I've never shown them. But the builds themselves, it's just me and my buddy that build them. We don't go by a drawing, nothing. We just do it.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, film that.

[Ginger Billy]

And so we've never done any plan. We just kind of build. And the builds have always been huge. Like they've. They're what gets my views. I mean, we turned a golf cart into a Tesla truck about four years ago and it was right when the Tesla truck was coming out. Turned into it, man, you look it up, then you was, it looks identical to the Tesla truck. And yes, called it the Tesla Cybertruck, but. And then I'm gonna turn my Ford Festiva into a motorhome. So you know what the Festiva is, right? Little tiny.

[Brandon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

The.

[Brandon]

Yeah. 80 horsepower. Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Ginger Billy]

I'm gonna turn into a motorhome. Yeah.

[King Trout]

Is that the one that looks like the geoprism?

[Brandon]

Yeah. Yes.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

How do you turn that into a mobile? How are you changing the engine?

[Ginger Billy]

Well, we turned one into an ambulance one time. We're gonna. No, we're gonna keep the engine in it.

[Brandon]

Patients hanging out the back.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah.

[King Trout]

We'd be bouncing their head off.

[Ginger Billy]

Build an extension off the back where it's further off and then build it. We had to put four by four wood blocks into the shocks just where it wouldn't drag and bounce ass.

[King Trout]

It reminds me of like the old, old episodes of Top Gear, the little around project.

[Ginger Billy]

You ever watched Top Gear?

[King Trout]

That's what that reminds me, man.

[Ginger Billy]

That's it though.

[King Trout]

Which I just found out moments ago. Apparently Jeremy Clarkson has very aggressive prostate cancer.

[Ginger Billy]

Oh, dang, man.

[Brandon]

My boy.

[Ginger Billy]

Dang. Besides, besides the builds, just enjoying my summer make. Putting out content, trying to catch up with these fellas, you know, it's a race now. He's. He's caught me and went past me on YouTube. So start building. Good competition. Good competition makes me want to get out there and. And he gave me some words of wisdom. So we're going to get home and get on the pony. We'll be good.

[Brandon]

Did you just set up a Little camera or GoPro rig on top of your head? Just film you and your buddy hanging out?

[Ginger Billy]

Everything we films with my phone.

[Brandon]

That even easier.

[King Trout]

They're the, the meta glasses.

[Ginger Billy]

I got them, man. But I don't like the, the. The voice, the V like. It don't sound good to me.

[Brandon]

Did you get the second one?

[Ginger Billy]

I got the Oakley ones.

[Donut Operator]

The.

[Ginger Billy]

The really good, nice ones.

[King Trout]

Just get a little road mic. Record your audio separate.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, I could do. I just. I just film with the phone. It just worked this far. I mean, why not keep going the new meta.

[Brandon]

I.

[King Trout]

No, I'm just thinking if you're working

[Eli Double Tap]

with your hands, don't fix it.

[King Trout]

Yeah, I was thinking if you're. If you're working with your hands to see the perspective.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, true. I like that. That is true.

[Brandon]

They only record three minutes at a time and it's all vertical.

[Ginger Billy]

Yeah, that's right. Dude, it is.

[Brandon]

It sucked. I was like, motherfucker. The meta. Two glasses, I think.

[King Trout]

Look at fucking. At the bar last night there was a FIFA game on and the refs have. Well, they have the mic or whatever so they can talk. But then I noticed on the thing that they're wearing behind their ears, it has a camera that films their pov.

[Ginger Billy]

What if I turn the glasses sideways?

[Brandon]

There you go.

[Ginger Billy]

Here we go.

[Brandon]

You might notice something different.

[King Trout]

Or you can just. You can just work.

[Ginger Billy]

Just walk like that the whole time. Yeah.

[Brandon]

We found a solution.

[Ginger Billy]

Yes, sir. Perfect.

[Brandon]

And then for the Internet, where can everyone find you too?

[Ginger Billy]

You can find me on all social media platforms. Instagram, TikTok tock, YouTube, Facebook. Ginger Billy. You look them words up, you'll see me with this beautiful majestic beard.

[Brandon]

Dang, Cody, you want to close us out?

[Ginger Billy]
