Episode Overview

This episode dives headfirst into the gang's trademark irreverent humor but also lands on some surprisingly thoughtful discussions. History, parenthood, gun culture, social media, the challenges of policing, and the weird, winding quest for a genuinely offensive white slur all get their moment. With recurring bits, liberal doses of self-deprecation, and a strong “we’re just here to make each other laugh” energy, the conversation ping-pongs between roast sessions, dark humor, and sincere takes on modern society.
Special guest Jake Bar None weaves in stories of going viral, being a lineman, close calls, fatherhood, and what it’s like when your online irreverence bleeds into real-life intensity.

Transcript

[Jake Bar None]

I mean, let's be real. Having a kid is just keeping cum as a pet.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hey, Paul Bunyan.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, the gang does heaven.

[Dawn Operator]

He could have been president. Eli.

[Josh Whalen]

What the.

[Dawn Operator]

You idiots.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, don't play with me. Don't play with me.

[Dawn Operator]

Well, that cum was fun.

[Jake Bar None]

None of this is making it.

[Eli Double Tap]

You know, sometimes you record these podcasts and you realize this is the one.

[Brandon Herrera]

Say hi to Eli. He's racially ambiguous. Brandon. His hair is fabulous. Donut, a dog.

[Jake Bar None]

Joke disposition. And there's a fat electrician. Welcome to unsubscribe.

[Brandon Herrera]

He likes. Don't you fucking crack. Everyone hold it up. Ready, ready, ready? Three, two, one.

[Dawn Operator]

Hi, everyone. Welcome to the unsubscribed podcast. I'm joined today by Eli Double Tap, Jake Bar None, Brandon Herrera, myself, Dawn and operator. Thank you so much for being back here.

[Eli Double Tap]

Is it just me or his white claw started, like, smell like body odor.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't know.

[Dawn Operator]

We haven't been around these parts in a while.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's why I want to it.

[Eli Double Tap]

No. All right, Ryan.

[Jake Bar None]

Tastes like me being an altar boy.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'll be honest.

[Jake Bar None]

You want the rest of that?

[Dawn Operator]

Holy shit. Be like, when's the last time we sat down here and did a podcast? It's been a couple weeks, right, bro?

[Brandon Herrera]

We have.

[Eli Double Tap]

When's the last two months?

[Dawn Operator]

Good Lord. Maybe.

[Brandon Herrera]

Who was the last? We can't even remember the last guest.

[Dawn Operator]

So basically what we do in our podcast is, like, we went into those unsubscribed live tours, and we had to kind of build up a couple of podcasts going into that little backlog. Yeah, a little backlog type stuff. So, yeah, it's been a minute since we sat here in the actual unscribed podcast house and done something like this. Was it Jim?

[Eli Double Tap]

Jim Capers, dude?

[Brandon Herrera]

I think it was. Yeah, Capers. Major Capers was literally, you know, Major Capers Marine.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, it's.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

You know who he is?

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, yeah. So I didn't realize you guys had a podcast with him, but.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, yeah, we had him on like, a month ago.

[Brandon Herrera]

He was right there.

[Eli Double Tap]

Month or two.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, my. I'm sitting in Caper's chair right now.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, well, he had his wheelchair thingy.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, he wasn't in this on there. This is his microphone.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, wait, he said he sat on this.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

That was the chair.

[Jake Bar None]

I just had it. I just had to do it a little sniffy wiffy.

[Brandon Herrera]

But, dude, his stories. He's like, wait, I. He gets mad when I tell those stories, and then we're asking the handler. And he's like, well, it depends on the group, because what people consider a war crime or what is not a war crime. Yeah, you can tell the story, Jim. He's like, okay, so I slid a dude's throat.

[Eli Double Tap]

These look like funny.

[Jake Bar None]

He had nostalgia, not PTSD kind of thing.

[Dawn Operator]

Oh, yeah, I think that was spicy nostalgia.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, that was one of the shorts I saw of him talking about his experience in war. One of the top comments was, this guy doesn't have ptsd. He gives ptsd. Like, we.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

I'll steal a comment for a joke every. All the time.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, you're a streamer.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, you know.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, absolutely.

[Jake Bar None]

50 of my content is straight up, just like my own jokes. And the other 50, I just rip off content. Like, rip off comments, not content. It's like, oh, that was a good joke. I'm taking that.

[Eli Double Tap]

Are we.

[Brandon Herrera]

Are you leaning back for this? This is why I asked. Where are you gonna relax? And immediately you're like, yeah, so I'm gonna talk back here. I'm like, this is why I was adjusting the microphone for my boy.

[Jake Bar None]

I fuck you right now. I'll tell you what.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, he's leaning in for the asmr.

[Jake Bar None]

I do stream, so, you know.

[Brandon Herrera]

What's your name?

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, my name is Barton.

[Brandon Herrera]

On.

[Jake Bar None]

Good to have you guys here. Thank you guys for having me. My mic, though, is set up somewhere, so. So I can do, you know, the sweet things? No, Just the sweet sexuals.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, no.

[Jake Bar None]

What's up?

[Brandon Herrera]

I'll.

[Eli Double Tap]

You too.

[Jake Bar None]

Never mind. He might be a senator someday.

[Eli Double Tap]

I hope not.

[Jake Bar None]

I'll talk to you nicely. Oh, yeah, man. Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

You're doing the asmr. It's like, would you.

[Brandon Herrera]

Me?

[Jake Bar None]

No, I just don't want to say it out loud. I don't want somebody to clip farm this. You know what I mean?

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, yeah.

[Dawn Operator]

Nobody.

[Eli Double Tap]

I guarantee you there's nobody in the pool.

[Jake Bar None]

I endorse Brandon Herrera for senator of Texas.

[Eli Double Tap]

I hope that didn't happen.

[Dawn Operator]

President of Texas.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yes.

[Jake Bar None]

That was President of Texas.

[Eli Double Tap]

We did used to have that.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Sam Houston was Sam Houston.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Pause. What? No, go on. I don't know.

[Jake Bar None]

This. I was thinking, and I'm the only.

[Brandon Herrera]

One from Texas and I. This is new. I didn't know we had a king.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, yeah, we didn't have a king.

[Eli Double Tap]

But the first and third president of Texas was Sam Houston.

[Brandon Herrera]

Okay. I thought you were talking about.

[Jake Bar None]

They couldn't go back to back.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, no, no.

[Jake Bar None]

They couldn't go back to back. So Sam, he Said to go in. He was trying to figure out the slavery. And then McGee came in and then Sam Houston, because. So you can. You can apply to be president in Texas at the time multiple times, but they couldn't be in succession, like you can do it back to back. I didn't know that was.

[Dawn Operator]

You're telling me Brandon could have been the president of Texas, but he applied for Congress?

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, like 150 years. He was born in 1830.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, that would have been a thing.

[Jake Bar None]

I could have done.

[Dawn Operator]

He could have been president, Eli.

[Jake Bar None]

Absolutely wonderful man.

[Eli Double Tap]

Absolutely.

[Brandon Herrera]

So big.

[Eli Double Tap]

Back then, nowadays you just have governor. But the. Yeah, no, back. Back in the day, I think there were three ever presidents of Texas and Sam Houston was two thirds of them.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, yeah. And then right after that. Because Sam Houston brought him in as a state.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

So he brought him in as a state because. And he. He did it kind of slightly, but his whole purpose was to get them part of the union. United States of America. Right. And the way he did it was to act like he was gonna go with the. With the queers that drink tea. So then America was like, well, we don't want enemies on the south and the North. And they were like, what the fuck? It was Andrew Jackson, I believe, that was president at the time.

[Eli Double Tap]

I think he came way later for the tea.

[Brandon Herrera]

Boston Tea Party.

[Eli Double Tap]

Wait, what was this for?

[Jake Bar None]

No, no, no, no. It was an Andrew Jackson.

[Eli Double Tap]

Not when. Not when Texas became a state. Texas became a state.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hold on.

[Jake Bar None]

What am I thinking?

[Dawn Operator]

The gang learns history.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was president when Texas became a state.

[Jake Bar None]

It's going to look really bad on your senator resume if I'm right.

[Eli Double Tap]

James. Gonna look very bad.

[Jake Bar None]

Huh?

[Brandon Herrera]

James Polk.

[Jake Bar None]

No, Who's. No, before that. Yeah, no, Jackson was already in his. His retirement, I believe. Am I up? Who was. It was.

[Eli Double Tap]

Where's Nick when you needed. Yeah. Nick should have been in all this.

[Brandon Herrera]

We have so many, like, history friends. I'm like, I don't know. It's not about that.

[Jake Bar None]

It was 1845 territory, and then he was already. So give me a second. I'm researching. All right.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just.

[Jake Bar None]

They can cut this. But I'm pretty sure it was. I'm pretty sure it was him.

[Brandon Herrera]

Keep it all in Chase. Have the loading bar on his head as he is talking and doing the research right now.

[Dawn Operator]

56K modem. Yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

So you know what's crazy?

[Eli Double Tap]

By that time Andrew Jackson texted you.

[Jake Bar None]

Nick just texted you. Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

By that time, Andrew Jackson was dead. So he was.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, right.

[Jake Bar None]

But he was in his so his protege was the one who brought Texas.

[Eli Double Tap]

We're reaching. We're reaching.

[Dawn Operator]

We're not.

[Eli Double Tap]

We're not.

[Jake Bar None]

Hold on. God damn it. I am an idiot. Just so we're all clear, I'm a dumbass with the cell phone. That's all you guys got to focus on.

[Eli Double Tap]

He was president from 1829 to 1837.

[Jake Bar None]

I'm pretty sure I'm right on this. I just got to figure it out. Andrew Jackson's protege was the first president of Texas.

[Eli Double Tap]

Sam Houston.

[Jake Bar None]

Yes.

[Eli Double Tap]

Was Andrew Jackson's protege. Is that where you're. Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Where we're going to look right now?

[Eli Double Tap]

Your degree of confidence is alarming to me.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's alarming. Andrew Jackson had several key proteges, most notably James Bulk.

[Jake Bar None]

Okay, now, Mad.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, Sam Houston's at the bottom.

[Eli Double Tap]

There it is.

[Dawn Operator]

There it is.

[Jake Bar None]

He took him on as a father figure.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's the last name mentioned.

[Jake Bar None]

Yes, yes. Because he became a drunk and then he came back. He was with a Cherokee for a while.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yep, yep. This is his bit. Well, he did a bit in the live show, too, talking about this a little bit.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, who did?

[Eli Double Tap]

Nick.

[Brandon Herrera]

Nick.

[Dawn Operator]

Oh.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, we have a segment for you.

[Dawn Operator]

So, yeah, he.

[Eli Double Tap]

He talked about the fact that, you know, he basically. He was living like, the Avatar lifestyle. Yes. Where he just, like, became one with the natives, much against the government's wishes.

[Jake Bar None]

And showed up to DC In Indian garment.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

And fought somebody. Like, he's one.

[Jake Bar None]

Beat the. Out of a congressman.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yep.

[Eli Double Tap]

So it turns out that's pretty common in history.

[Jake Bar None]

As it should be.

[Brandon Herrera]

Is he the one better?

[Eli Double Tap]

We. We were a proper nation at one point.

[Brandon Herrera]

He didn't want to be a leader. Right. Is he the one that kind of got put into presidency and he didn't want that?

[Jake Bar None]

Who?

[Brandon Herrera]

Your guy. Sam Houston. Houston, I believe. Oh.

[Jake Bar None]

Of Texas, period.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, what? How high did he get?

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, you.

[Eli Double Tap]

This is a great podcast.

[Jake Bar None]

How are you doing? President.

[Dawn Operator]

You know, all I'm thinking President.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, yeah. So I will just say this really quick. I want to say it was him or one of the Nick guys, because we talked about this. He did not want to be president. He was like, oh, yeah, you should vote for this dude.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, no, no. That was President Garfield.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's the one. Were you the one that told me that?

[Eli Double Tap]

Yes, yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Okay. Garfield. I love that story.

[Jake Bar None]

This is way better when Nick's not here because he knows everything about it. He's autistic about it. Nick is watching this arguing, and you are just listening to us being fucking.

[Dawn Operator]

No, dude, you Know what? Paul Atreides never wanted to be the emperor, but then he became the emperor. Did you bring up Atrey?

[Brandon Herrera]

He became the least.

[Jake Bar None]

Did you bring up Dune?

[Dawn Operator]

He became the lease on our game.

[Jake Bar None]

You know what? So anyway, how do you feel about my hero academia? Honestly, Movies.

[Eli Double Tap]

And Cody has a much better grasp on Dune than we apparently have on U. S. History, so that's. Yeah. At least we have a subject matter expert on something.

[Jake Bar None]

Okay, so I will say, anyway, this started off crazy.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, I will say the one Brandon talked about at the gym. That's where I heard it. I love that. It's like a president that didn't want it, and he's like, no, you should vote for that dude. And then everyone starts voting for him. He's like.

[Eli Double Tap]

Because it was. Yeah, the. The deadlock convention, which I. I. I don't know if you guys have seen that new. It's the new Netflix show. It's like four episodes, but it's. I think it's death by lightning that talks about James Garfield's presidency.

[Dawn Operator]

Oh, it's Netflix.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Dawn Operator]

So James Garfield is a black woman.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yes.

[Dawn Operator]

Okay.

[Eli Double Tap]

She's also. First of all, she's also disabled.

[Jake Bar None]

This is Netflix, not Disney. First of all, first of all, I'm so sorry. He made me chuckle. And it was in your direction.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're all good.

[Jake Bar None]

If you guys didn't notice, I place.

[Brandon Herrera]

Your hand on the bible.

[Jake Bar None]

I spent a future senator's face, and I'm holding on to that.

[Eli Double Tap]

The gang takes civics.

[Jake Bar None]

No, the.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's an excellent show. It just talks about like, none of.

[Jake Bar None]

This is getting there.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, absolutely not. This is a podcast that'll be lost to time.

[Jake Bar None]

Thanks for the flight out.

[Eli Double Tap]

Thanks for what is so long, and thanks for all the free booze.

[Jake Bar None]

Okay, so hold on real quick, if I may. They've got me very drunk already.

[Brandon Herrera]

Don't blame us.

[Jake Bar None]

I ordered a lot of drinks by.

[Eli Double Tap]

Myself and specifically was the only one at the table who said, no, I don't need food.

[Brandon Herrera]

Food.

[Jake Bar None]

Okay, well, so see, See, now we're talking too much. See, now. Now we're opening up a bag. Yeah. Senator, you can continue. Continue, please.

[Eli Double Tap]

You're doing great.

[Jake Bar None]

Crushing it right now. You're doing great. Oh, I'm.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, I love. These are my favorite.

[Jake Bar None]

My name is Jake and I'm an alcoholic.

[Eli Double Tap]

The first step is admitting you, Adam.

[Jake Bar None]

I do. But I also have two beautiful daughters, man. Fantastic. You guys are bringing up videos and mo.

[Brandon Herrera]

And.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, I don't have time to do that because I'm Watching Bluey and Cars and I have seen Hercules 192 times.

[Eli Double Tap]

You were so enthusiastic this morning. You're like, love the cars movies. Cars 1 great, cars 2. Cars 2 great or cars 3 great?

[Jake Bar None]

They went too hard into Mater. And speaking about going too hard into a male name, I was also a alter boy. Sorry, James.

[Dawn Operator]

If I may ask, why did they go so hard onto Mater? What's happening with Mater?

[Jake Bar None]

Well, the lower iq. There's no way this makes it the lower IQ you have, right?

[Dawn Operator]

That's true.

[Jake Bar None]

There's less likely you know enough people to tattletale. So if you're like me, I'm not making it. No, no. That's a sodomy joke. Anyway, I'm getting nothing out of this episode so far.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm liking a lot of this.

[Eli Double Tap]

These are the episodes that, like, it seems like such a throwaway, and it's just like, huh, two of ten. Audience loved it.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

All right, well, we're already hitting. It's like, we have history. We have our comedy.

[Dawn Operator]

All right.

[Eli Double Tap]

Calling that history is a little wrong kind of.

[Dawn Operator]

Right.

[Jake Bar None]

I'll take six out of ten. Right. You take five out of ten. Right. And we call it a day. You're going for Texas senator. Right?

[Eli Double Tap]

No, no.

[Jake Bar None]

What are you going for?

[Brandon Herrera]

1 out of 10.

[Eli Double Tap]

Congress. It's a congressional race.

[Jake Bar None]

It's close enough.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. So House of Representatives, more specifically.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Represent the people.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, I know. I know how that works.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like I said, the gang takes civics.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like, what's going on? Okay, Brandon. Four.

[Jake Bar None]

Anyway. Sorry.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, you're good. You're good for the four. Your guy that we were talking about, President Garfield. Yeah. Got voted into.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, it's. It's a great show because it's a. It's very funny, but it tells, like, a very real story. And I think they. They were pretty good on their historical accuracy. Obviously, they played up a bunch of stuff and made it, you know, dramatized. But I think he actually served the shortest term. Don't quote me on that. But I think it was the shortest term of any president because it was only a few months between him being sworn in and him being shot and killed.

[Jake Bar None]

Who was that?

[Eli Double Tap]

President Garfield.

[Jake Bar None]

Garfield, Yep.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's not correct.

[Jake Bar None]

Do we want to finish. Do we want to finish this podcast on Mix?

[Eli Double Tap]

Here we have Connor. Connor, fact checking off screen, who had shorter than Taylor?

[Dawn Operator]

He died months after he gave his inaugural speech.

[Eli Double Tap]

That is true. Well, so did. So did Garfield. I think Zach Taylor was like, two months because well, because Taylor, Zachary Taylor, I think he died because of milk, if I'm not mistaken.

[Jake Bar None]

Milk and cherries.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, he was like, at a summer barbecue and just downed a bunch of milk and it fucking killed him.

[Brandon Herrera]

And cherries? How to stems?

[Jake Bar None]

No, no, this is how. This is why you pasteurized milk.

[Eli Double Tap]

It was like a dessert at the time.

[Dawn Operator]

It was just cherries and cream and.

[Eli Double Tap]

He ate like gallons.

[Jake Bar None]

Wait, hold on, hold on. Was he the original Berries and Cream? Berries and cream. Is that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Is that.

[Jake Bar None]

Is that where you came from?

[Eli Double Tap]

Apparently, yeah. The only reason I know this is because that was my assignment. We had, like, a debate thing I had to do in high school, like history. And the president that I was given was Zachary Taylor, and we were fighting some other president. I don't remember who the fuck it was, but the other team nailed a kill shot where they were like, yeah, well, your president died from milk, so shut up.

[Jake Bar None]

Like, I was wrong because the comments are gonna freak out about this, but.

[Dawn Operator]

It was a William Henry Harrison got pneumonia at his inaugural speech because he didn't wear a coat, and he died.

[Jake Bar None]

Two months into his presidency.

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah. Well, there you go.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, there you go.

[Jake Bar None]

President's died. What the fuck?

[Brandon Herrera]

Brandon, what kind of shirt is that?

[Eli Double Tap]

I'm glad you asked, Eli. This is a poncho.

[Dawn Operator]

Brandon and I actually wear poncho so much, we constantly end up wearing the same nice poncho shirt.

[Eli Double Tap]

Good thing nobody's ever pointed that out before.

[Dawn Operator]

Now, if you guys have ever seen one of our live shows or this podcast in general, you'll see Brandon and I wearing these incredibly comfortable, great looking shirts all the time.

[Brandon Herrera]

Finn, pull it up with pictures. They're literally always wearing the same shirt.

[Eli Double Tap]

I got turned on a poncho like a year ago. Been wearing them ever since. Personally prefer. I think this is the Western because it's got the pearl snaps because it's hot in Texas and I like something breathable.

[Brandon Herrera]

Here's the thing I find really cool. Brandon, do the glasses trick.

[Eli Double Tap]

So ponchos have this neat little thing in the pocket where you just take your glasses.

[Brandon Herrera]

Nope, the other one.

[Eli Double Tap]

Be more specific.

[Brandon Herrera]

Who gives a shit about that? All right, watch everyone.

[Eli Double Tap]

So if you got fat fingers and you smudge your glasses all the time, the bottom of the shirt actually acts. It has like a microfiber so you can clean your glasses.

[Brandon Herrera]

I make him clean my phones.

[Eli Double Tap]

He does.

[Dawn Operator]

I like the hidden little pocket on the breast.

[Brandon Herrera]

Wait, what?

[Eli Double Tap]

Right over here.

[Brandon Herrera]

Got a little zipper pocket I didn't even know about. That one is that where you hold.

[Eli Double Tap]

Cody's heart and his drugs.

[Brandon Herrera]

Things you might need to know. Poncho has put a lot of thought and detail into each one of their shirts. Oh, holy sh.

[Eli Double Tap]

They're soft. They're really soft.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yo. What?

[Eli Double Tap]

That's my one like thing is fabric sensitivity. I don't wear uncomfortable shirts. This is comfy as.

[Dawn Operator]

That's why we wear them all the time.

[Brandon Herrera]

So Pancho's got a bunch of great stuff styles. The original western denim and ultra light.

[Dawn Operator]

If you're looking for the perfect shirt, something breathable and stands out in a good way. Give Poncho a try.

[Brandon Herrera]

Go to ponchooutdoors.com unsub and get $10 off your first order.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's P O N C H O outdoors.com unsub dude, pneumonia because you didn't.

[Brandon Herrera]

Wear a coat that you don't wear.

[Dawn Operator]

A coat when you're outside in D.C. yeah, you should probably wear a.

[Brandon Herrera]

But what year was this?

[Dawn Operator]

Do you wear a coat when you're in.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yes. 1841. He was president for 32 whole days.

[Brandon Herrera]

They don't.

[Eli Double Tap]

32 days. Dear Lord, bro. In.

[Dawn Operator]

In the middle of winter in D.C. if you don't wear a coat, I'm gonna make so much fun of you if you die.

[Eli Double Tap]

I hate that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Makes so much money too. So much money off of Brandon's church.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, see that dude, when I death.

[Jake Bar None]

Merge won't go as far as when I airbrush you onto a fucking T shirt. I'm going to make so much money.

[Eli Double Tap]

You're going to put me as your vinyl decal on the back of your Chrysler 300.

[Jake Bar None]

Gone too soon. Yeah, it's going to be great.

[Eli Double Tap]

The tribute merch doesn't go as hard when you die from something real stupid.

[Brandon Herrera]

We just have Brandis is gay. It's like now overcame that real quick. We see an obstacle. It's you dead.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, God. You're gonna sell like. Like the Jesse James photos too.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah. Just frozen.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's gonna be you guys selfieing over my corpse in the hospital pretty much.

[Jake Bar None]

With gang life on top of it.

[Brandon Herrera]

The gang does.

[Dawn Operator]

My son's godfather dies from lack of coat. Like John's out there just like, yo.

[Jake Bar None]

The gang does heaven, dude. His gun is a squirt gun because he's cold as it works out perfect. I love it.

[Dawn Operator]

My op was a coat.

[Jake Bar None]

Did he ever think about not getting pneumonia though?

[Eli Double Tap]

My real question my op was the weather channel.

[Brandon Herrera]

How'd he die, man? He has stage four coat.

[Jake Bar None]

I like that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Everyone's crying. We got coat research going on.

[Jake Bar None]

Instead of pouring liquor on it, you just throw a coat on top of the casket, call it a day. No American flag, just a coat.

[Eli Double Tap]

One of these days, we'll invent a garment that protects people from the cold.

[Brandon Herrera]

Brad, this one for you. Ncn.

[Dawn Operator]

Oh, I love it. Do you guys see that? That new thing that came out there was some criminal thing I come across because I always come across the criminal things. Like the ops are always trying to get each other. A dude died 23 years ago and an op blew his grave up with dynamite. What? They went out to his grave and just blew it up.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's a level of petty.

[Dawn Operator]

23 years later, after he killed an op and he went out there and they blew it up.

[Eli Double Tap]

What year was this?

[Dawn Operator]

It was 23 years ago, apparently.

[Brandon Herrera]

So he waited, found, where is that dude?

[Dawn Operator]

And they just blew his fucking grave up.

[Eli Double Tap]

So 23 years ago from today?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

That was 2002.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

Here's to quitting. Quitting the couch for a quick run. Quitting the snooze button for a morning workout. Quitting. Giving up after two weeks.

[Eli Double Tap]

You see, staying committed to your fitness goals isn't easy. But with Apple Watch, you don't have to do it alone. Because Apple Watch gives you real time motivation. Plus advanced metrics that track all your workouts so you can stick to your New Year's fitness resolutions. And once and for all, quit quitting with Apple Watch.

[Jake Bar None]

IPhone 11 or later required.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's some hate, yo.

[Eli Double Tap]

I figured this would be like 1900, like access to dynamite. You could just like buy that. You're like, oh, I gotta go blow a fucking hole in them hills.

[Dawn Operator]

I mean, I'm gonna do that to your grave when you die, though. If I live between the three years further than you.

[Eli Double Tap]

Fine.

[Jake Bar None]

Made sense, cuz blowing up made a lot funny.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, at least then you could. Well, if you blow up my grave site, at least nobody will know I died from pneumonia from no coat.

[Dawn Operator]

No coat. No coat, My boy.

[Brandon Herrera]

That no coat. Ncn.

[Eli Double Tap]

What are the. What are the poly market odds this episode ever airs?

[Brandon Herrera]

So far.

[Jake Bar None]

All right, I will say. I will say this though. You know, when you know somebody, there's no shot, dude, there's no shot. This airs. This is going to be like a Patreon bullshit or a pepper box or whatever.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like a Christmas episode to me, right?

[Jake Bar None]

But we know when you know, you see these things or the back of the vehicles or on T shirts, it says gone too soon. But then they got shot Right. That's the entire point of a bullet. It's supposed to get there pretty fucking soon. So I don't understand the gone too soon. There was a purpose for that.

[Brandon Herrera]

I have to. Okay, for like, where did. When was the first time you were like, I'm gonna make some videos. Like, what made that thought process happen?

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, no, no, no. Now we're on me. No. So. So before all social media, I was the dude and the main focus for me. And I think we were probably all raised somewhat the same way. I was raised to where you. Yeah, but you wake up, you go to work, you support a family, and then you die. And I was completely fine with that. I don't care about that. As long as my family was happy, that's all that mattered. Before social media, I had like 12 likes on a picture on Facebook one time. I never did anything social media. And then I went to my. But my brother's. I think it was a 16th birthday party. I flew out. They were in North Carolina at the time.

[Dawn Operator]

Real quick, what was your job working at this time when you wouldn't like.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, I didn't exist before social media. I'm like, baby Jesus.

[Dawn Operator]

What job were you doing before you like, you saw your social media story?

[Jake Bar None]

So right before I was. I had a union job climbing poles for a living. My mom couldn't keep me off them. Nice. Yeah, yeah. I was climbing poles up in the mountain in Colorado. For those of you that don't know where I'm from, we come straight. Well, I'm from Arkansas originally, but I was living in Colorado and I was climbing poles up in the mountain and, and doing all that and had a union job. Had a really good job and all that.

[Eli Double Tap]

And I didn't know there was a stripper's union.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's why I didn't either. You climb and pole going down.

[Jake Bar None]

I didn't know there was a senators union.

[Dawn Operator]

Fuck you.

[Jake Bar None]

Actually, fuck you. First of all, that doesn't apply to me or Paul Bunyan. Yeah, but no. So that's, that's what I was doing, right?

[Eli Double Tap]

Paul Bunyan.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's a Poles North Woods. I don't know. Brandon Stock.

[Dawn Operator]

You're climbing polls.

[Brandon Herrera]

Thank you.

[Dawn Operator]

You talking about climbing poles? Like. Yeah, the spikes in your boot and you're climbing up the poles. I did that for.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh yeah, sir.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, I did for AT T. Every minute, every like the same thing.

[Jake Bar None]

I was a 15 foot cowboy.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, I was AT T climbing up poles to put in lines and stuff.

[Jake Bar None]

So we were doing a lot of stuff. Up in the middle.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's your husband.

[Eli Double Tap]

Every three months we do a podcast and I find new Cody Lore.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, I never knew you did that.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, dude. What do you. What do you call that you're gonna.

[Jake Bar None]

Hurt your own friends? I'm just gonna sit here.

[Dawn Operator]

What do you call it when you have the spikes in your shoes and you're climbing up the poles?

[Jake Bar None]

Gavin.

[Dawn Operator]

Gavin. Yeah, I did that for a minute too.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah. No, so I was doing that up in the mountain and getting.

[Dawn Operator]

I. I tell people this.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was like, I did.

[Brandon Herrera]

Obviously you tell everyone.

[Dawn Operator]

I don't like. I don't like to tell people what I did before I did YouTube.

[Jake Bar None]

So, like, yeah, I didn't exist.

[Dawn Operator]

Doing the same thing.

[Jake Bar None]

This is how it works. But no, I. I actually feel that. All right, some of us want our privacy. All right, I'm sorry. It came across really aggressive, especially since you said it. No Gavin Polls and. And doing all that. And the job was great. It was fantastic. And I just started making random ass videos flying out. And when I flew out to my. My brother's birthday, he had one of his buddies that they were all hooting and hollering about how one of them got like 30,000 views on a video, right? And my little brother is 10 years younger than me, so I was like, ah, this would be a good way to maybe, you know, connect with them. So I made a thing, started talking about work stuff, and I was like, maybe I get a thousand followers and. And he can, you know, we can talk about, you know, tick tock. I didn't know anything about this as far as content went or as far as social media goes. I. To this day, I think is still dumb as fuck. Anyway, no, he's going to. Yeah, I got to get closer. But anyway, so I went home and I. And I made a TikTok account and it just kind of blew up overnight. What was this, 2020?

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay. Yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

So, yeah, February of 2020. And then it blew up. And then I remember coming over to my wife and I was like, hey, we have like 10,000. What happens if it's a 10,000 or a million or whatever it might be. And then just kept making videos and it just kind of worked. And now I'm, you know, on. On all sorts of other platforms. But I. I just, I hopped in my truck. You guys have such a great place here and whatnot. I got very lucky into where I sit in my truck and I hold my phone like this. I say some fuck shit, and then I hold my phone like this. And I say some. I just keep going back and forth until all my jokes are done. And then I walk inside my house and I go hang out with my children, which is such a blessing in its own way. It's just so fucking wild, dude, how all this works. It's the new white picket fence of America, I feel like. Which is kind of ass. Let's be honest. The new American dream is followers. But I'll take it. Hey, gfc. Buy a hat. You better keep that in. GFC stands for get fucked, Give cancer Global Financial crisis, Grotesque child. It means so many different things.

[Eli Double Tap]

It is whatever you want to make it.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, exactly.

[Dawn Operator]

You know the craziest story that told me about that? Like going up poles like that.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dawn Operator]

Like you get to the top and you, you go to go back down, but you gotta look down before you go back down the pole when you're in it. Because there was like one dude and like the unit that I worked for, union jobs.

[Eli Double Tap]

One of the.

[Dawn Operator]

One of the poles, a spike came out a little bit. Like one of the wooden spikes.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah.

[Dawn Operator]

And he dropped back down a little bit and it went up his. And it went into his heart.

[Brandon Herrera]

What?

[Dawn Operator]

So you ought to get. You always got to look out for.

[Eli Double Tap]

What went into it.

[Jake Bar None]

All you have to do is not do that.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, I know. That's crazy. There's a guy that did that, so that's why I was so scared.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was like so scared into his heart.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah. So you got that, you got the spikes on your heels and you're going at the pole. Right. And like you always got to look down to make sure. Like when you come back down, one dude just kind of like dropped a little bit. Cuz sometimes you drop and you catch yourself.

[Jake Bar None]

Called burning a pole.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like Mortal Kombat Pit.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah. So like a piece of the pole, like a little piece of the pole came up.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like a shard of the pole.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, like a. Yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

You got a splinter to his heart.

[Dawn Operator]

He got a splinter that came up as a. And went into his heart.

[Josh Whalen]

He went.

[Brandon Herrera]

It went through his. He got Vlad.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, basically. Yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

That's how we got to work out.

[Dawn Operator]

Fun fact, because I mean these poles don't get. He might have been hanged all the time. So you might be working a pole that's just been around for like a couple years now, like 20 years. And then they splinter. And so you're, you're like, you're shoving your. You're shoving your heels into this pole and you go up and then you're coming back down. And the dude dropped just like three feet, which happens. And you just dig your poles back in. Whatever. You fell a little bit. And sometimes there's like. And that's what they warned us about. There's just like a little spike and it could be, you know, like two inches around. It just goes up your ass and shoves you in the heart.

[Eli Double Tap]

Dude, that's some shit that I would see like 2 o' clock in the morning.

[Jake Bar None]

Just do that. But there's a possibility if you fuck.

[Eli Double Tap]

Up, I'd be watching like A Thousand Ways to Die on Spike TV and like see some story like that and think, no.

[Dawn Operator]

Oh shit. You didn't know I did that too?

[Eli Double Tap]

No, no. I had no fucking clue. I've known you for how long? I have. No, I had never known that.

[Dawn Operator]

I fucking used to climb poles too.

[Jake Bar None]

It's fun as. But if you burn a pole, like, what do you thought? So, yeah, obviously that piece of wood came up his ass. But I did burn a pole one time. Speaking on that. I was coming down, I was trying to come down too quick and I burned the pole. And then as I got to the bottom, luckily I ended up okay. But I have a scar right here, right next to my penis, straight up. So that was a big ass splinter. But splinter went straight up my. My. This close to my. My ball sack of my.

[Brandon Herrera]

How close? That's enough. That's terrible. That's the most scary, like legs. Most terrifying part, that femoral. You're just like 10 seconds.

[Jake Bar None]

I didn't have kids at the time, so it would have worked out the.

[Eli Double Tap]

Amount of time it would take you to get off that pole. You don't have enough time to tourniquet or anything like that. You're just.

[Jake Bar None]

Well. And at the time. So I was climbing the poles up. Up in the mountain. So like I was in the middle of nowhere up in the Rockies in Colorado. So if it did nick it, I probably could have got to say that word, right? Golly. If I did, that's allowed it, you know, I would have had enough of time to, you know, call my family to say I love them, but that. So it went all the way up to his heart?

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah. How big was this spike? A big splinter came off of the fucking pole. So it was an old. Like an old pole and he was climbing up to get something and he came down fixing things. Came down a little bit too hard and he fell. And the. Yeah, that just little splinter just like went up his. Into his heart.

[Eli Double Tap]

That was in the Cards. Although if you did just catch the femoral, like just on the way down and in the. Yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

I get a really cool YouTube video by the Unsub podcast about the history of burning poles.

[Eli Double Tap]

Do you like a mouthful of hard wood?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yes. Go on then.

[Eli Double Tap]

[Eli Double Tap]

Did you know that about your dad? No.

[Brandon Herrera]

New dad.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, fucking none of us knew that about your dad either.

[Brandon Herrera]

None of us knew Cody did this, John. He risked his life. Used to like try to put stuff in circ, like plugins.

[Jake Bar None]

Quite the start there. Used to plug shit in there.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, dude, he used to put like, he used to put butter knives in the sockets.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's like that video game, the what's your daddy? Who's your daddy?

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, who's your daddy?

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, that's a great game. Jesus Christ.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like one player plays as the father.

[Dawn Operator]

The other thing I get so mad at. You dad has done every job on the planet.

[Jake Bar None]

That's how you land on social media.

[Brandon Herrera]

But now you Have a very fantastic kiddo. John, you are for a 16 year old too, like you turned out good kid. Yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

You want to make me a Jack and go? I'm asking permission from your father. It's fine, it's fine.

[Dawn Operator]

If not, this is not false.

[Jake Bar None]

I'm running a coffee cup right now.

[Dawn Operator]

You heard me say seven retarded uncles earlier, right? So his godfather is this guy? Legally, this is his godfather, but he's grown up for the past six years around Belie me, Brandon, Nick, fat electrician, like all of our group. So I. I don't know what his outlook.

[Jake Bar None]

So now he's just doing his best.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, the running joke for the last fucking five years has been one of these days he's gonna write a tell all book called My seven retarded Uncles.

[Jake Bar None]

Hey, just make sure they're done with social media before you do that. Make your own bag afterwards.

[Dawn Operator]

Make that bag, buddy.

[Jake Bar None]

I love it.

[Eli Double Tap]

My, my lawyer will talk to you. It's fine.

[Brandon Herrera]

A little savage over there. We're like, damn. And how he will burn even us. It's like, yeah, you were raised around us. Jesus, don't do that at high school, please. That will get you, maybe do it around high school kicked out.

[Jake Bar None]

So he'll be fine, dude, he'll be all right.

[Eli Double Tap]

I know he's been around people like us long enough that he's funny beyond his years. So, like when he gets to college, he's either going to crush it or get his ass kicked.

[Jake Bar None]

How good of a shit talker is he?

[Eli Double Tap]

Pretty good.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, Trout, man.

[Brandon Herrera]

Wait, you got news first off, you have?

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

Don't play with me. Don't play with me. Don't play with me. That's right, gay boy.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, that's the intro of this one.

[Jake Bar None]

Trap.

[Eli Double Tap]

Come here.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was gonna be the N word.

[Dawn Operator]

And now we're doing that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Now they start, everyone kisses down the row, you dropped your wallet.

[Dawn Operator]

And I didn't want to say anything.

[Eli Double Tap]

But it's the one that says bad.

[Jake Bar None]

Hell yeah, brother. Well, out of all the things podcast with that. Oh, dude, I always told my wife, chat, it's not gay if it's a dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's how that works. How do you like being a parent, though?

[Eli Double Tap]

Ooh.

[Brandon Herrera]

Do you love it or.

[Jake Bar None]

Dude, I cannot stress this enough. So I lost two of my babies. So we lost two. And then my oldest, now they're two in one, I have Irish twins. 12 months apart and Irish twins. When she popped out, dude, I'll tell you what, it was mesmerizing. Oh, can we talk about with your son or whatever? Were you in the room when the birth was happening? 100. Okay. So.

[Brandon Herrera]

All right.

[Eli Double Tap]

He wasn't there when the conception was happening.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was. I was just helping him.

[Eli Double Tap]

He was sitting in the chair on the other side.

[Brandon Herrera]

I love it. And then we just clip that you kissing him. And it's like, how do you like that? And then he was like, I loved it. You were trying to goad me for words. And then you were like, well, I.

[Jake Bar None]

Was about to be real serious for a second.

[Brandon Herrera]

Man, this is hard to follow.

[Jake Bar None]

You guys are going to clip me into context. So just in case you're retarded, what.

[Eli Double Tap]

Was it that you clip me saying in the uploads?

[Brandon Herrera]

In my butt. I went through.

[Eli Double Tap]

And I was like, oh, yeah, here's an actual quote from Brandon Herrera's video on that.

[Dawn Operator]

And then I just went through.

[Brandon Herrera]

We're just going like.

[Dawn Operator]

Dear Lord, we just hitting low today.

[Brandon Herrera]

You should move here.

[Jake Bar None]

[Eli Double Tap]

Say hi to bar none.

[Jake Bar None]

But were you in the room too, with your. Your kids, like, when they were born?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

Not when they were.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like when they were born.

[Dawn Operator]

Oh, man. You want to hear a gnarly one? When he was born.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, absolutely.

[Dawn Operator]

Holy. So they. They. They clipped it off at the wrong point or. Not a wrong point. Yeah, they clipped the umbilical cord off where it was kind of a pressure building point.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah.

[Dawn Operator]

And so when I like, you got to cut the cord. Like, you know, dad's got to cut the cord.

[Jake Bar None]

It's gummy, Right?

[Dawn Operator]

I cut the cord and it just sprayed in my mouth and all over my face.

[Brandon Herrera]

Why'd you use your teeth?

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, I shouldn't have done that. There was a lot of pressure build up.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah.

[Dawn Operator]

And it went. And I was like, I love this kid.

[Eli Double Tap]

Stem cells of your own DNA, you know?

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

People think.

[Dawn Operator]

I'm not gonna be mad about that. I wasn't even disgusted.

[Jake Bar None]

A piece of you in your face. I started that at 13.

[Brandon Herrera]

Kind of cool, right?

[Eli Double Tap]

Was that. Was that related to you being an altar boy or.

[Jake Bar None]

Okay, well, hold on. We're not.

[Brandon Herrera]

I just love trout. Actually break over there.

[Jake Bar None]

That was 14.

[Eli Double Tap]

Sorry, we were. We're getting ahead of ourselves.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah. Trying to give you my life story here.

[Brandon Herrera]

So Cody, you went.

[Eli Double Tap]

You fucking.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, just.

[Eli Double Tap]

I love him.

[Jake Bar None]

Damn. The IUD turned into an ied. That's crazy.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, apparently the IUD didn't work.

[Jake Bar None]

There we go. I love this. You're never. You're never getting hired.

[Eli Double Tap]

A sneaker. I've never run.

[Jake Bar None]

So I'm right.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

I hope you're right.

[Dawn Operator]

Sorry.

[Jake Bar None]

Representatives. You could represent me any day, baby girl.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, I'm not gonna kiss you. Like.

[Brandon Herrera]

God.

[Jake Bar None]

I did. Damn it. So you're a homophobe.

[Brandon Herrera]

You turned it so fast.

[Jake Bar None]

So you don't support the gays.

[Dawn Operator]

He only kisses me. Yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

Can I kiss you?

[Eli Double Tap]

No. I'm monogamous.

[Dawn Operator]

That's the problem.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, you know what? That's fair. But it's not cheating if it's Gay.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's what you keep telling your wife.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, yeah.

[Dawn Operator]

Are we sidelining? What's up with your kids? Tell us.

[Jake Bar None]

We are sidelining a lot.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's all right.

[Jake Bar None]

No, no, no. So I was just asking if you guys were in there, because I, like, I've seen some guys that won't go in there that's like, oh, it's disgusting. Blah, blah, blah. And anybody. And by the way, this goes for everybody here. Anybody who says that the childbirth is beautiful and all that. You're stupid. What it is is dope. As is what it is. So I'm sitting there, I'm in the room. My baby's about to be delivered, my first one. And all I remember is I was on the dad couch.

[Dawn Operator]

She.

[Jake Bar None]

So I almost lost my wife. So we lost two. And then on the third one, Emberly, my oldest, she damn near died. So I was sitting bedside with her the night before, watching, making sure blood pressure and all that was good. And then.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't know if I.

[Jake Bar None]

Want to talk about was, okay, well, don't put this on me, all right? Let me blame people.

[Brandon Herrera]

And.

[Jake Bar None]

Okay, okay. What did I say before? Anyway, no. So I'm sitting there next to her bedside and watching that. And it was like 4 or 5 in the morning. She's still going through some issues. She had something called help syndrome. So it's 1 above preeclampsia. So I don't know if you guys know.

[Eli Double Tap]

I. I do not know what that is.

[Jake Bar None]

It's so preeclampsia, you get like, low blood pressure. I don't fully understand it because I'm still a dude, but preeclampsia. And then once you get past preeclampsia, you go into HELP syndrome, which stands for. It's like high. High something, low pressure, whatever it might be. Anyway, they were worried about her bleeding out when the baby came out. Right?

[Eli Double Tap]

Right.

[Jake Bar None]

So we were sitting there, and I was there till about four, and then the nurse came in, says she's good right now. So I finally laid on, you know, the old dad bed that's in there. And I get woken up three hours later saying, oh, we're about there. So I pop up, I'm all over the place. And then my wife asked. She was like, hey, if the baby's coming, can you go get me Starbucks? There was Starbucks inside the hospital. Right. And I asked the nurse, I was like, do I have enough time to do this? And she said, yeah, we're probably still about 30 minutes away. So I run downstairs to get the starbies. I get a.

[Dawn Operator]

What does she want from Starbucks during.

[Jake Bar None]

She does a chai latte. Iced chai latte. Still to this day, Ice chai latte. And. And I got a skinny vanilla latte. Girlies figure and all that. You know what it is? Low calorie and all that. And then. So I do that. I'm probably gone. I shit you not for probably eight minutes. And as I come back up, I come into the room, and there's like, 14 people there because they have to worry about your wife, obviously. So there's two different. For people who. Who don't know, there's people there for the baby, and there's people there for the. The mother, right?

[Eli Double Tap]

So.

[Jake Bar None]

But because of where she was at, there was a whole surgical team there. And so I'm like, what the hell? And they're like, oh, she's here. And I was like, okay. So I run over the bedside. I put the drinks down, and I'm standing there just off to the side, trying to get out of their way, just in case anything happens. And then the OB GYN comes in, you know, the delivery lady, right? She comes in. She goes, dad, hold a leg. They didn't put her in stirrups. Said, dad, hold a leg. And I'm sitting there like, okay. And keep in mind, me and my wife had the conversation. I wasn't gonna look into the God's 3D printer, right? Cause she didn't want me to. That was her choice. She was like, I don't want you to see that. Whatever. But I was like, okay. I mean, doctor lady.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, I did.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, we're getting there.

[Eli Double Tap]

We're getting there.

[Jake Bar None]

We're getting there. So I'm holding the leg, and she's pushing so hard against my shoulder. I lift, all right? But I am pushing. I am doing my best, holding that leg up. And there's another nurse on the other side holding the other leg up, right? And. And I'm looking at her, I was like, baby, you're doing so well. Blah, blah, blah. And then this. All right, this bit. Not my wife. The. The. The doctor lady.

[Dawn Operator]

This.

[Jake Bar None]

She goes, oh, oh, there's the head. We all have been there to where.

[Eli Double Tap]

When somebody says some, you're gonna immediately.

[Brandon Herrera]

What do you mean?

[Jake Bar None]

So I'm here. So keep in mind, like, her leg is right here and my shoulders here.

[Brandon Herrera]

This is. I'm after a right leg.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, yeah, right leg. No, no, her name. Her knees bent. So I'm holding her knee bent like this.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, like this.

[Jake Bar None]

No, no, it's not.

[Eli Double Tap]

Over which side of the leg is the woman on?

[Brandon Herrera]

You are holding her left or right.

[Jake Bar None]

Leg the same way we made the child. Anyway, but we're. We're doing this, right? And then, and then I'm looking at her, I was like, baby, you're doing so good, blah, blah, blah. And then she said that and everything my wife told me, she's like, I don't want you to look at, you know, the birth. And I think a lot of women go through this. And ladies, if your man has a problem with you giving birth, he's a bitch ass. Made any. Who's these, so. But I was like, baby, we're good. And then she said that like, oh, here, here's the top of the.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, no, you're good.

[Jake Bar None]

I'm right here. No, I'm kidding. But here's the tip of the head. So all I did was. And right. So I'm looking down and then I see. I was like, oh, that's the tip of a head. And I look back at my wife, and she's so in pain. She doesn't know what the hell's going on. You know, she's just doing her best, right?

[Brandon Herrera]

And then epidural now.

[Jake Bar None]

Yes. Yeah, but she had help syndrome, so that goes above where the epidural is at. So she's in a bunch of pain up top, which is one of my favorite spots. But so I'm doing that and I'm looking back at her, I was like, baby, you're doing good. And then the doctor at that point's like, oh, here she comes. And then all of a sudden, the head's out. And then I watch this doctor take my daughter's head and rip her out. And part of my brain went like, easy, bitch. All right, that was a bit aggressive. Apparently that's normal. But for me, I don't know. I've never been here before, right. I wanted to be like Google Maps and put her back in her lane, but apparently that's normal.

[Brandon Herrera]

And it's violent for people. Do not know. Hey, once the head's out, dude, it's crazy how. Because I had the same reaction with Ryan. He came at five pounds, tiny little.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, she was pre.

[Jake Bar None]

Me too.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, yeah. And but how they're like, okay, you're out. It is not a calm slow. It's like how they put in hips because it's like a sledgehammer just whacking way.

[Jake Bar None]

[Dawn Operator]

[Eli Double Tap]

Use a Turtle beach headset to listen for footsteps in Tarkov. Running the new AK50 while I get still killed from a wood line. I can't see what Eli, There's a global cabal that's working behind the scenes to control all media, banking, politicians. And that's why we should have never gone off the gold standard.

[Dawn Operator]

Hey, hold on, hold on. 80 hour battery life.

[Brandon Herrera]

[Brandon Herrera]

[Eli Double Tap]

Because I've seen births before. Like, I know how everything happens. Like, to me it's not crazy. But I also know enough to know that like, I've never. I've never been there in the room for the birth of my child. I've been told by certain people that like it. They're like, oh yeah, a lot of people pass out. A lot of people, whatever. And to me I'm like, I don't understand that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, like how they show.

[Eli Double Tap]

But it's one of those things I like, I've never been there, done that. So I can't say about it. But in my mind I'm like that. If you pass out from that, that seems.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's called marketing. So they're doing the. They're showing you the best birds they're not like, not the.

[Jake Bar None]

You have to subscribe.

[Brandon Herrera]

You have to subscribe to see it.

[Jake Bar None]

[Brandon Herrera]

You deliver babies.

[Eli Double Tap]

Does your wife know about this yet?

[Jake Bar None]

No, but I feel like we make a bunch of money. But no. Anyway, she gets pulled out and obviously now I'm worried about my wife, right? And I remember all that's happening. They, you know, the baby's out, they put them in the warmer. You know what I mean? Yeah, right. Put them in the warmer. And now I'm worried about my wife and they're, you know, fixing her all up. And so you not only have to birth the child, you have to birth the placenta as well. So they're getting all that out and they're like, oh, we have to scrape some of it out. Like it's a fucking. I don't know. They're putting a knife in there and they just like, oh, we got to scrape out the uterus or whatever. I was like, what are you talking about? So anyway, all that comes out and then they pull up a black and they're like, oh, she didn't bleed as much as she did or as much as we thought she would. They're holding up a big ass bag of blood and I'm like, that's a bit. That's. That's more blood than I would think would be acceptable personally. And scared the shit out of me. But she did live, obviously, and we had a second child. That's. That's very.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, yeah, kids, congratulations.

[Jake Bar None]

No, John.

[Eli Double Tap]

I love you.

[Dawn Operator]

John.

[Jake Bar None]

[Dawn Operator]

You'Re like, ah, oh, no, that's what happens. That come was fun.

[Eli Double Tap]

And if that come was fun, zero.

[Brandon Herrera]

Reaction from Sean over here.

[Jake Bar None]

It was fun. I like that. I mean, I mean, let's be real. Having a kid is just keeping cum as a Pet.

[Brandon Herrera]

My cum. Pet my cummy mom.

[Jake Bar None]

And you could call a pregnancy a cummy ache.

[Brandon Herrera]

We're crushing it right now.

[Dawn Operator]

All right. Do you guys like being racist on Instagram?

[Eli Double Tap]

There was.

[Brandon Herrera]

Switch it from this topic.

[Eli Double Tap]

There was one time I did get in trouble. In trouble, whatever. I got like Internet canceled for the 40th pregnancy. It was. It was because I got in a fight with the head of Mom's Demand Action. The. The fucking anti gun group. And I'm like, why do you think you're a expert opinion now? Just because like you, you have a cum trophy doesn't make you a fucking ballistics expert.

[Brandon Herrera]

I forgot about that.

[Eli Double Tap]

I got blocked by that group pretty quick.

[Dawn Operator]

It do be like Shannon Watts.

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay, well, I wonder how Shannon's doing.

[Brandon Herrera]

I actually want to know with what was your first video that, like, you're like, oh, this can turn into something way bigger because you have a couple and we've shown. I showed Brandon one of yours. Oh, I know that guy. I do know that.

[Eli Double Tap]

That is now the one I show to everyone else.

[Jake Bar None]

The black face.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yes.

[Jake Bar None]

Okay, well, a lot happened before the black face.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's right.

[Eli Double Tap]

Usually that is the case.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's. That's your Hail Mary. But no, the. I never really had a big one. I never really blew up any. You know, you see some of these. These folks on the Internet, you know, they go from 0 to 5 million overnight.

[Brandon Herrera]

Nick.

[Jake Bar None]

I've just been kind of growing steadily for years, so I never really had like a big one. But that one did bring a lot of eyes. And for those of you watching, just go watch it before you judge me, okay? Just go watch the blackface video. It's very funny.

[Brandon Herrera]

Chase here, if we can, and we'll see in post if.

[Jake Bar None]

There we go.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's a line we're gonna have to.

[Eli Double Tap]

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm cool with it.

[Dawn Operator]

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, there it is, Chase. Pull it up.

[Brandon Herrera]

[Brandon Herrera]

You ready? Thank you.

[Jake Bar None]

[Jake Bar None]

Have you guys seen the shadow video? That was probably the biggest one. I. I don't think so. You've never seen the shadow Cock? No.

[Brandon Herrera]

Okay, pull it up real quick.

[Eli Double Tap]

[Jake Bar None]

[Eli Double Tap]

No, Chase, never mind.

[Jake Bar None]

Chat. You're gonna have to search it up yourself.

[Brandon Herrera]

Can I show Connor and the audience real quick? I just want them to see this.

[Jake Bar None]

Now keep in mind, though, the first take of that. So I'm doing that, trying to get the shadow right. The first take of that, I went to go swing, so I just mashed my shaft, right? But my pinky just absolutely obliterates my balls. I was on the ground for 15 minutes with how hard I hit. Oh, I like how you guys knew what was happening before it happened. It's the best video I ever made. Oh, hey, doc. Is the best video I ever made. And they got banned off every platform.

[Eli Double Tap]

Why was it your imagination?

[Jake Bar None]

Dude, Dude. Okay, I'm gonna. I'm gonna freeze frame this after the stream so you guys can see. You can see the hairs on her. Libya.

[Brandon Herrera]

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, a majority stay. A majority stay.

[Jake Bar None]

I get. I get. I get canceled.

[Dawn Operator]

That was the one.

[Jake Bar None]

That was the. I love.

[Eli Double Tap]

We asked him, like, what was your piece of content like you're most proud of? He's like, here's my.

[Dawn Operator]

Swing and hog.

[Jake Bar None]

Well, well, well, I can do that.

[Brandon Herrera]

[Jake Bar None]

I'm very proud of it. It.

[Eli Double Tap]

Did you. Did you pregame that video? You're like, I gotta. I gotta look impressive.

[Jake Bar None]

Okay, well, hold on, hold on. I would like to talk to you about this.

[Eli Double Tap]

I would not like it now that.

[Jake Bar None]

You'Ve put it up that way and centered it.

[Eli Double Tap]

I just watched you kiss a man half an hour ago.

[Jake Bar None]

Vote. Vote Brandon.

[Brandon Herrera]

I love how that's always the go.

[Dawn Operator]

To vote early vote often or.

[Jake Bar None]

Because any of this loses the elections.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's one of those things that everybody's.

[Jake Bar None]

Like, oh, well, I want.

[Eli Double Tap]

I want to support veterans. And then they hear how veterans actually talk and they're just fucking aghast.

[Jake Bar None]

No, I'm just a dumbass with a cell phone. I'm just. I'm just kind of funny sometimes.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm loving. Dear God, this is.

[Jake Bar None]

I don't even know how long we've gone, but I feel like we got three more hours. I think we got three more hours left.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, about three more.

[Brandon Herrera]

Perfect amount of rails. Okay, so of these first videos, you launch blackface video that did decent.

[Jake Bar None]

That was like three years in.

[Brandon Herrera]

But staple point, though. Were you not worried at all?

[Eli Double Tap]

I feel like most people would consider blackface the high water mark.

[Jake Bar None]

I mean, no. So there was a story behind that, because there was a lady that did whiteface, right? And she said, oh, you want to do blackface? Then do it. And then see what your boss says. And then I came on screen and I said, okay, well, I'm my own boss. And then it did it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Now, would you do in between that? Who'd you text? Who'd you call or text?

[Jake Bar None]

Obama. No.

[Brandon Herrera]

For makeup.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah.

[Dawn Operator]

Oh.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, my fellow Americans, this is my evil ass fortress.

[Jake Bar None]

No.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's a bad idea.

[Jake Bar None]

So at this point, I feel like I am at the bar.

[Eli Double Tap]

No.

[Jake Bar None]

So with the blackface video, all that happens. And then she did that, and I was like, it. I'm gonna do this. And my wife was out getting makeup and whatnot, and I texted her and I was like, hey, I need you to find me the darkest. Found the darkest foundation makeup. I'm really bad at this. Sorry, boys.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, you can say where if I'm moving it. You sit where you are. And I got you.

[Jake Bar None]

So anyway, I was sitting there and I was. I was. I saw the video. So the way I do my content is I have no drafts or nothing. I see something, I'm like, I can on that, and then I make the video, right? And that one came across, and I texted my wife because I knew she was already there. I was like, give me the darkest foundation that you can find there. And I think she knew where I was going with it because she did not bring me the darkest foundation, full stop. She did not. No, I look, I looked a portable, actually, with what she brought me.

[Eli Double Tap]

So you did brown face?

[Jake Bar None]

Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then what I said in the video, if you guys want to go watch it, I was like, oh, so Ariana Grande can do this, but it's a problem if I do it. That's because you can sing. And that's basically the whole. It's nothing crazy. I. I did act like I got shot by police, but let's not focus on that. I put. And that one did blow up. That was my big point on YouTube for sure. I started YouTube about a year ago, year and a half ago, whatever it might be. And that was the one that was like, I had like 6,000, and then it just blew up after that one.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was just looking at that this morning. That has. On YouTube how many views?

[Jake Bar None]

I don't know, like a million?

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, 4.3 million views on just YouTube.

[Brandon Herrera]

And that's the one.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, there was six of those, by the way.

[Eli Double Tap]

So half as many people as watched Game of Thrones finale watched you do blackface.

[Jake Bar None]

Okay, well, when you put it like that, I don't pay attention to analytics, personally. Like, these guys. For anybody watching, hey, look, I'm not a big numbers guy, but I'm not a big Numbers guy. As long as my. As long as I call my wife and she says I can buy shit, we're good. Not a big numbers guy.

[Brandon Herrera]

I love. Most content creators would have seen that in that spike and block. Doing blackface every minute.

[Jake Bar None]

It was the bag of this.

[Eli Double Tap]

Doing numbers.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, Literally.

[Brandon Herrera]

Maybe the red lips.

[Jake Bar None]

And you're like, no, no, no, no.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, no, no, no.

[Jake Bar None]

It got real awkward when my daughters were born and I was like, damn, they're going to think daddy's leaving, but.

[Brandon Herrera]

Jesus Christ.

[Jake Bar None]

But anyway. Hey, by the way, my boy, what's up? You have nicotine over there.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah. Would you like some?

[Jake Bar None]

Yes, please. Yes, please. Yes, please. Yes, sir.

[Dawn Operator]

All day long.

[Jake Bar None]

See if this was milk.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hey.

[Eli Double Tap]

Hey. Well, one more time.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hey, you probably heard of Yellow Fresh.

[Eli Double Tap]

Hello Fresh.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hello Fresh.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like, of course you'd think it's yellow fresh too.

[Brandon Herrera]

Wood.

[Eli Double Tap]

Arigato to the number one meal kit in America. Making home cooking easy by delivering chef grand crafted recipes and ingredients directly to your door.

[Brandon Herrera]

This isn't the hellofresh you remember. It's bigger.

[Eli Double Tap]

What'd you call me?

[Dawn Operator]

They've doubled their menu. Now you can choose from 100 options every week, including new seasonal dishes and recipes from around the world.

[Brandon Herrera]

Dig into bigger portions that will keep everyone satisfied.

[Eli Double Tap]

And now you can choose from over 15 high protein options each week.

[Brandon Herrera]

Healthier like, like grass fed ribeye.

[Eli Double Tap]

I don't know how they get the ribeye to eat the grass.

[Brandon Herrera]

HelloFresh helps you eat. Eat greener too with their new veggie packed recipes. They have two or more veggies per dish.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's not for our audience. Meat.

[Brandon Herrera]

Steak. You know what my favorite vegetable is, Cody?

[Eli Double Tap]

Mayonnaise.

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Eli Double Tap]

Stephen Hawking.

[Brandon Herrera]

What?

[Jake Bar None]

Their menu is awesome.

[Dawn Operator]

You can get steak and seafood recipes delivered each week at no extra cost.

[Eli Double Tap]

Now with three times the seafood options.

[Dawn Operator]

You love seafood.

[Jake Bar None]

Mmm. Mmm, mmm.

[Dawn Operator]

Before they sponsored us, I've actually been using HelloFresh for years, paying for it and it's always a great value and it's always really good recipes.

[Eli Double Tap]

I have actually done the same and it was, I will admit, it was pretty, pretty Damn good.

[Brandon Herrera]

Now, HelloFresh or a meal replacement program like that is cheaper than going at this point.

[Eli Double Tap]

Dude. Yeah. As expensive as fast foods getting.

[Brandon Herrera]

Go to hellofresh.com unsub10fm and get 10.

[Eli Double Tap]

Free meals now plus a free breakfast for life.

[Brandon Herrera]

A whole breakfast for free for life.

[Dawn Operator]

One per box with active subscription free.

[Brandon Herrera]

Meals applied as discount on first box. New subscribers only. Varies by plan.

[Dawn Operator]

That's hellofresh.com unsub10fm to get 10 free meals plus a free breakfast for life.

[Jake Bar None]

They're only going to get me asking them and then me getting back. That's awful. That's going to end up in the final edit.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, no, that's. That's. The funny part is, like, if any. Anybody tries to use any of this against me at any future date, which will objectively happen, if it's funny enough, they won't be able to correct. As long as it's funny, I don't care.

[Jake Bar None]

So it can, because it's in good humor.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's great here.

[Jake Bar None]

Can we talk about it, though? Like, honestly, I mean, if that's the case and you want everybody to know everything about you. So our conversation earlier about deporting Asians as well. I mean, like, how do you defend that, sir?

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Which kind of Asians?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

So you didn't think that far ahead in the bit.

[Brandon Herrera]

I didn't.

[Jake Bar None]

I didn't. No, no. That was a bad bit. That's a bad bit. Cut that now. Cut them now. Now we're keeping that. Indians.

[Dawn Operator]

Something I've been wondering, though, we talked about it a little bit earlier. Yes, sir. Slurs for white people.

[Jake Bar None]

I want this so bad right now.

[Dawn Operator]

I'm still trying to find the slur that I could be called to be offended by, and I have not found it yet. As a white man.

[Jake Bar None]

I actually, I think since we talked about it, I think I found it.

[Brandon Herrera]

I heard one of them upstairs.

[Jake Bar None]

Poor. My good sir, you are offended.

[Dawn Operator]

Been poor before.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, okay.

[Dawn Operator]

Okay. I've been poor as.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was like, Cody.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah.

[Dawn Operator]

I was about to say.

[Jake Bar None]

Were you not.

[Brandon Herrera]

We looked at triangles.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

We're the only two that, by the way, this podcast goes away when they get deported. It's just gonna be me.

[Dawn Operator]

Like, we got along because you got.

[Eli Double Tap]

To fight Nick for it.

[Dawn Operator]

But yeah, we lived in trailers. Brandon grew up poor. We. We have had very rough upbringings. So I have been trying to find the white slur that I could be offended by and have yet to find one. We were talking about slur.

[Eli Double Tap]

The closest I saw in that list because we looked at. Before the podcast turned on, before the cameras turned on, we. We were looking through the list on Wikipedia of, like, you know, ethnic slurs for. For white people.

[Dawn Operator]

I was white trash at one point in my life. I. Okay, cool.

[Jake Bar None]

We have terrible slurs.

[Dawn Operator]

I know I want a Slurpee, but there's not.

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay, I'll put it this way. There's not a funny slur.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Milk Cricket.

[Dawn Operator]

Well, it's like mayonnaise monkey.

[Brandon Herrera]

Mayonnaise monkey.

[Dawn Operator]

But you're still.

[Brandon Herrera]

I mean, look, we're all dying right now. I think that's a good line.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's the funniest one I've heard.

[Jake Bar None]

At least the cricket got the milk. I love this milk. Cricket's great. It's fantastic. But. No, but I just.

[Dawn Operator]

I just want to be offended at this point. I want to be offended. Like, give me something to my consultant.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'm so sorry.

[Jake Bar None]

I'm not.

[Brandon Herrera]

Witch slur is racist.

[Dawn Operator]

Cracker doesn't. Cracker doesn't do it anymore. Come on. Everyone says cracker.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah. Saltine and all that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

We were talking about it earlier. Like, some of the slurs for white people are just so funny. Like, they're just silly.

[Dawn Operator]

We just laugh.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, it's.

[Dawn Operator]

Don't say we like your me. Come on.

[Josh Whalen]

Come on.

[Jake Bar None]

You might be white patched.

[Eli Double Tap]

Did I actually say we at any point?

[Brandon Herrera]

You just did.

[Jake Bar None]

I. I think. I think you said so.

[Eli Double Tap]

I said we were talking about it.

[Jake Bar None]

We have to stay on this topic because I really do want a white slur. Can we make one right now?

[Brandon Herrera]

We have. We create. Okay, so we actually did create one for Pepperbox with just a slur in general.

[Eli Double Tap]

Pepperbacks and plops.

[Jake Bar None]

What is it?

[Brandon Herrera]

Plops, you fucking dirty plop.

[Eli Double Tap]

So we're like, that was a kind of consensual episode you guys came up. Just came up with plop, right?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, right. What's that? No, just what sounds offensive. And we can turn it into a slur and.

[Eli Double Tap]

Fuck. Slur. It means nothing. It has no origin. It's to nobody. It's just. It sounds bad, but isn't your goddamn plot.

[Jake Bar None]

It just sounds like you're telling them they're a piece of shit.

[Brandon Herrera]

But it's got to. Did we have the YouTube? Something was recognizing it as a slur. And then the TV show, which they're like, well, when you use it as a verb, it sounds really bad. There's even a tv. TV shows.

[Jake Bar None]

But sounding bad.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, you didn't know this?

[Eli Double Tap]

No. What?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, as of two weeks ago, there was a TV show that used plop as a word. And we're like, yo, what the. And they're like, what was the show like?

[Eli Double Tap]

What was. Was it like a tvc? Like what pl. Well, anything.

[Jake Bar None]

I'm right there with you. I'm still trying to figure out a white story.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't know. There's an Instagram show, Undercover.

[Dawn Operator]

You likely won't see me unless we.

[Jake Bar None]

Meet at my office. I am off to a meeting for another case.

[Brandon Herrera]

See you at the party Friday.

[Dawn Operator]

Until then, I will be engaging in.

[Brandon Herrera]

PLOP P L, O, P. Prepare, learn, observe, pursue.

[Eli Double Tap]

Wait, is that a spy term?

[Brandon Herrera]

It's a famous one.

[Dawn Operator]

I'm not sure who invented it. Some genius probably.

[Brandon Herrera]

We don't know where. Okay, off to Plop.

[Eli Double Tap]

Man, all I can think of when I see that bit.

[Jake Bar None]

That's so lame.

[Eli Double Tap]

It is so gay. Like, yeah, man. God, High, high value production is so bad.

[Brandon Herrera]

So bad, but we don't know why. And it's like. It's so bad when you use it a verb. And we're like, how the. Did they pick that specific. Is one of the writers watching us? And then. This was two weeks ago.

[Eli Double Tap]

If you're one of the writers of that show. First of all, I'm sorry. I just insulted it for being shit. Second of all, please reach out because I'm very curious.

[Dawn Operator]

I just want to slur.

[Jake Bar None]

Dude, we're on the same. I'm still stuck on this with you. Just so we're clear.

[Dawn Operator]

Okay, thanks, Jake.

[Brandon Herrera]

But we can make one right now.

[Eli Double Tap]

What do you got?

[Dawn Operator]

We still wouldn't be.

[Eli Double Tap]

I already sold it, though.

[Dawn Operator]

I've never been upset by a word so much I want to hurt someone.

[Brandon Herrera]

I got.

[Jake Bar None]

I mean, we did invent winning, so maybe winner, hard R. Yeah.

[Dawn Operator]

I'm trying to find a slur where we built the modern word, but we're the wrong people. I'm trying to find a slur that has to do with that.

[Eli Double Tap]

Chat GPT also.

[Dawn Operator]

Cut that out, please. That was.

[Eli Double Tap]

What was.

[Brandon Herrera]

I want to find a wise slur. That's fine for you to say that literally. That's okay for me. Like, from my perspective. It's not.

[Jake Bar None]

That's 100% fine. Because we're trying to be equals. It's equality.

[Brandon Herrera]

How I view it, like, as myself. When you say that, I don't view. It's like, oh, they're like. I view it as like, okay, this is funny. And they're trying to make something offensive targeted towards us for me personally. You can cut it, though, if you. You want. Your call. I can find it hilarious right now. I'm dying.

[Jake Bar None]

If I ever got called Skyler, I think I'd be pissed off.

[Brandon Herrera]

Skyler's out there. They just call white people Skyler.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

D. Oh.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, my God. Chat GPT gave, like, such a long, safe answer, but, yeah, they always will.

[Jake Bar None]

The.

[Eli Double Tap]

The. It starts with, I can answer your question all bold, safely, but I can't generate or promote actual racial slurs toward any group, including white people. Coward.

[Dawn Operator]

John.

[Eli Double Tap]

Most insults aimed at white people tend to be mild, unserious, or context dependent jokes, not words with deep systemic harm behind them. I love the way we don't know.

[Dawn Operator]

The show about my life later where they're like, he only searched for a white man slur and he was never able to find one to make him so angry he would riot.

[Eli Double Tap]

I just think like, I'm thinking of like a super cut of you, like walking through the countryside, through the blizzards. Whatever his search for the white slur.

[Dawn Operator]

He was never able to find it. One that would make him so angry.

[Jake Bar None]

To commit violence, put a great white slur.

[Dawn Operator]

Top of the mountain with the snow. Give me the slur.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's. That's you and Pulp Fiction. You just we happy. The gold case opens.

[Dawn Operator]

Oh, yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

What's in the box?

[Eli Double Tap]

Plop.

[Jake Bar None]

Holy Plop is so ass, by the way. Be honest. Plop dirty.

[Brandon Herrera]

Plop dirty.

[Dawn Operator]

This is pro linebacker TJ Watt. And I'm back with YPB by Abercrombie for another activewear drop. My second co design collection has new shorts and tanks that keep up with all my in season workouts. And their new restore collection is a game changer off the field too, because even pro athletes like me need rest days. Shop YPB by Abercrombie in the app, online and in stores because your personal best is greater than anything.

[Jake Bar None]

That is such an ass.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, now Pepper Box hates you.

[Jake Bar None]

There's so many good ones. Okay, all right. I gotta come up with a for anything.

[Brandon Herrera]

Wow. Well, I'm taking a lot of time here.

[Dawn Operator]

I'll hit yours.

[Jake Bar None]

Deportee over there talking a whole bunch of.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, it's worse than Plop.

[Jake Bar None]

I'm not done yet.

[Dawn Operator]

Right, Jake, what's your next move, buddy?

[Eli Double Tap]

Cody, Accurate realizing this bit will not go anywhere.

[Jake Bar None]

We should have thought about this beforehand, I think.

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay, this is like interdimensional cable. Rick and Morty, we're just gonna, I don't know, grapples.

[Jake Bar None]

No, this is gotta be a brainstorm situation, I think. Well, everyone's learned when you're constantly winning, you can like, what are you gonna say? Bad about them? You high credit score, piece of work. It just doesn't work.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's like the colonizer thing. You dirty colonizer. It's like, it's just a high slobic way of saying winner.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, yeah. Well, I didn't colonize anything. I just won a lot of wars. Well, my great, great, great Great grandfather. Did you know what I mean? Also, I can't help but notice nobody at this table owns a Hellcat.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well.

[Jake Bar None]

On hell, you chase so many as a copyright. None of this is. None of this is making it.

[Eli Double Tap]

You ever. You know, sometimes you record these podcasts and you realize this is the one.

[Dawn Operator]

I can't say, dude, I own two Hellcats.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're only talking about cars. You're good. Technically, the only second cars.

[Jake Bar None]

Ultima. Pack of pocket Newports in it.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, Pack of Menthol is any car.

[Dawn Operator]

He's really good.

[Brandon Herrera]

Chrysler.

[Dawn Operator]

He's going to say it. He's going to say it.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, don't. Don't ask him. He'll.

[Dawn Operator]

He'll say it for real. B. Menthols.

[Brandon Herrera]

Have you ever woke up and felt like your mattress punched you in your sleep?

[Eli Double Tap]

I still think it was my wife, but yeah.

[Dawn Operator]

Eli, do you have the mattress right here.

[Jake Bar None]

A pillow?

[Brandon Herrera]

No, that's an Eli sized mat. Exactly.

[Dawn Operator]

Eli, can I feel the pillow?

[Brandon Herrera]

Ghostbed.Com so I got a gun pulled on me. Oh.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, that did happen.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

You said like two days ago.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, it was two days ago. So I was driving away from a. The Bears game. Big Bears fan, right? It was like 2 o' clock in the morning.

[Eli Double Tap]

Connor's also a big fan of Bears.

[Jake Bar None]

Who?

[Brandon Herrera]

Connor?

[Jake Bar None]

Who's.

[Eli Double Tap]

Who's Connor, the man you kissed.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, attaboy. Anyway, you absolute man. Dude, it's fine. But no, I was, I was driving down the street and I saw a car door open. There was a red light, right? So a car door open and close. And now normally I scroll like tick tock while I'm driving, as you know any grown ass person does. It's. It's scrolling tick tock and cocaine. But anyway, so I'm doing that and when I see it open and close and I'm like, what the going on there? So I stop at the red light next to this car. No tint. Which if you're gonna do illegal activity, have tint. Let's be honest, you know, any hoozies, we're doing that and I turn to my left and there is I you not. There's this methane ass, blonde hair, white as looking through the window like this like up at my. The windows on my, on my truck are tinted as. So at night time you can't really see through them, but you can probably see a silhouette, right, but she was just looking up at the truck, blah blah blah. And then I see the car door open again and I was like, what the going on? I could kind of see the, the driver on this and see him walk around the front of his vehicle. And as he's walking around I was like, what the fuck's going on? So at this point I grab my firearm in the truck. So I'm grabbing this and just seeing what's going on. And then as he goes through the, the first headlight, I see in his hand there's an object that looked very much like a gun. And then as he goes past the second headlight, I see this happen and I see a gun. And at that point I just pin it. So I, I pin it, I duck my head, pin it. And I'm doing this because I don't know what the going on. Obviously I didn't cut anybody off. My truck drives itself. Why am I looking at that? There's the camera, the. So I just pin it. But I'm like this. And then as I pop my head back up, I look in my side view mirror and I see him running back to the driver's seat. He gets in and he starts chasing my truck. After this, after this happens.

[Brandon Herrera]

So this is a dude that's literally. You have no idea stopped.

[Jake Bar None]

They did pass me at one point, but my trucks, it's got that advanced cruise control, you know, you fucking driving itself. So I didn't cut anybody off or Nothing. I don't. I don't know exactly what was going on, but. But they start chasing me down as I go towards my house. And as they're. As they're doing that, I see it now. I am pinning it. I'm going fast as. But I keep hitting red lights. And as I come up to the red light, I slow down a little bit because I'm not trying to T bone anybody or have them T bone me. So me slowing down and speeding up, Slowing down, speeding up is keeping up. Is them keeping up with me. These are kind of side streets at this point. And then we get to a major intersection, which I'm not gonna tell you guys. Fucking parasocial bitches. Anyway, when I get to a main street and the light's red and I look, I didn't see anything. There was a car kind of a little bit down the way, but it wasn't close enough. So I pin it through it. And then after that, they didn't chase me after that. That point. But I could have been a carjacking. I. I know. I don't know what was going on, but that looking out of her window, looking at me like a meth head. Methany.

[Eli Double Tap]

I will say it's. It would be wild if it was a carjacking and the person in the driver's seat went to go, jack your car, probably.

[Jake Bar None]

But he walked around. I mean, maybe I did cut him off. I mean, and, you know, I could have called the cops, but I made Midden in trouble as well. Let's not focus on that. It's not focused on that. Okay, let's focus on that. But it was a crazy. I ran into my house. So I went into my. My neighborhood, drove around a bunch, ran into my house, ran in with my wife and told her to get her gun just to see if anybody followed me home.

[Brandon Herrera]

I had that happen up in fucking Bernie. It's the random shit. Well, people will follow you, and you have no idea. I'm in line. I forgot about that. Literally driving. Car follows me. Like, that's weird. Turn. They follow. Super weird. Going to my old house in that cul de sac. Yeah, they're like staying right up on me. I have no idea what's going on. I'm, like, super confused right now. Turn in, turn into the cul de sac. They follow. I'm like, wow, that's weird. I park two houses up. They haven't turned yet. They're starting to turn. I just book into my house real quick, grab my gun, walk outside. I just have like a rifle walk outside because I'm like, they're going to hit a cul de sac.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Probably look at me or whatever. But they're going to have to turn around. So they slow down, pausing in front of my house, roll down the window and then I'm like, here.

[Eli Double Tap]

They rolled down the window.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. And then I have like my gun here. I'm just like looking and then they go and they speed off really quick. I'm like, ah, whip a bitch. They bounce out. But I have no idea why anyone would follow me just like that one.

[Jake Bar None]

I've never had anything like that happen.

[Brandon Herrera]

No. God, that's the second time I had that morning too.

[Jake Bar None]

And there's no other cars out there.

[Eli Double Tap]

I had that happen like a month ago to me. I was just like driving downtown and you know, obviously I'm driving the cybertruck. Whatever.

[Jake Bar None]

Well, that's your fault at that point.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, well, you know, self inflicted. But like it's, you know, you know, daily driver. I'm just, I'm literally just doing like daily minutiae. And then I had these two dudes roll up like this ghetto ass car and they are like pointing and like laughing or whatever. Dude's got face tattoos and all sorts of crazy shit. And this is like the epitome of like, you know, this is why you don't get into road rage because you never know who, who you're with.

[Jake Bar None]

Very fair.

[Eli Double Tap]

You guys know me. Bat typically bad guy to fuck with. I would say widely regarded dude starts like he's literally his. The guy in the passenger seat is hanging out the window, like literally his entire upper part of his body and he's making gestures and shit at me, like just laughing all sorts of. Just like, whatever. Like I don't give a fuck. You know, you're in this, you know, ghetto mobile. Where it started getting intense was as soon as we, we. The light went green. He sped ahead and dipped into my lane like he was gonna, I guess reverse pit me. Like.

[Brandon Herrera]

Cybertruck'S a heavy vehicle too.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, like he literally just dipped into my fucking lane where I had to hit the brakes to avoid hitting him. And like dudes like hanging out the window still like making like aggressive gestures and I'm just like immediately like hand on center console, like, I really hope this doesn't go there kind of thing. Then they sped away. It's like, okay, well whatever. That's end of that. It's like, well, I don't, I don't understand what people get out of these sort of encounters. They're like, why do you just want to. With a random dude like that? Why do you want to enter this completely bullshit interaction where one of us could get hurt?

[Jake Bar None]

Well, it's a very expensive vehicle as well. I mean, there's that thought. I mean, you know, maybe trying to get. I've never dealt with anything like that before in my life. I. I don't think I had anything to do with social media or anything like that.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, no.

[Jake Bar None]

I was just too. We're the only two cars on there. I haven't even made a video about it. But it was. It was one of them things I. You know, like you said, you know, you pull the gun and whatnot, and then you have to make the decision. And obviously, when you shoot through glass. So my main focus was, I don't want to replace a class, but if you shoot through glass, that go through your mind. But if you shoot through glass, obviously the first shot's not the greatest. But regardless, I just wanted to make it home.

[Eli Double Tap]

Also depends on if it's angled glass. Like, if you're shooting through your windshield, it's different than if you're shooting through the side glass.

[Brandon Herrera]

Low. Yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

But the bullet deflection of. Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Is going to travel upwards.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah. And it was. I made the right decision. Clearly, my children still have a father. I don't think they could have done a whole lot to me at that point. But when I see a firearm and when looking at methany, I don't even know if they could afford the bullets. I'm being quite honest. So.

[Brandon Herrera]

With it.

[Jake Bar None]

And you get out of the driver's side and walked around the front, and I can't think of anything that I did that, like, pissed him off, road rage wise.

[Brandon Herrera]

But you also are trying to rationalize an irrational individual. Because you see Brazil when they just pull up in a motorcycle and you're like. And you're like, what?

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, there at least they have an objective. Like they're trying to steal shit from you. Road rage. I just don't understand. It's like, oh, okay, cool. We're gonna throw. Both of us are gonna throw our lives away for no reason.

[Jake Bar None]

You know, a little bit more racist in traffic.

[Dawn Operator]

Oh, God.

[Jake Bar None]

What's the.

[Eli Double Tap]

Is that Shane Gillis is like, you know, the cheeseburger. The cheeseburger is exactly what you're thinking right now. All right, Whatever you just thought of, you're the racist.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

I told you.

[Brandon Herrera]

When a cheeseburger cuts you off. Yeah, yeah. Whatever you think A cheeseburger is. Is what I'm talking about.

[Eli Double Tap]

What's that? Shane?

[Jake Bar None]

I don't.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Such a good.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, no, there was. Who's the other one?

[Dawn Operator]

Moody has seen me before where I'm driving and someone will like, like start to open their car door and I'll pull my gun and go, just hang out and just sit back like that. Like if they're coming up to my door, they're threatening my family and I'll just sit back like that. And they, they figured their own out. They'll come up and like, yo, I'm just sitting there.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like, don't come below the door.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, don't come up to my car door, dude.

[Jake Bar None]

I almost feel like it's better to shoot through the car door than it is the window. No.

[Dawn Operator]

Depending on the guy.

[Jake Bar None]

Window. I actually don't know.

[Eli Double Tap]

You. I mean, realistically, it's just for concealments, just so you're not escalating it with a firearm.

[Jake Bar None]

I'm talking about like ballistic wise, is it better to shoot through your door or your window?

[Eli Double Tap]

Window it is.

[Dawn Operator]

Okay. Absolutely.

[Jake Bar None]

Because that should. A window affects a tractor trajectory. Excuse me, but upwards.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'll put it this way. I can break a window like this. I can't break through my car door.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, but then you have to replace it.

[Brandon Herrera]

You have to replace a car door, a window car.

[Jake Bar None]

I like my truck a lot.

[Eli Double Tap]

The best way to do this is to just avoid these situations altogether where you're not.

[Jake Bar None]

I wanted to avoid it. It was two in the morning. We were the only two cars there. All right, well, you know, Bethany was staring at me like she was going to steal my soul. I was worried about my future.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, that's what you got. That's what the gun's for.

[Jake Bar None]

Well, obviously I had the gun there, but it was just like one of those things that like, if I die in this situation now my daughters end up on only fans.

[Eli Double Tap]

I, I had that exact conversation. I had that exact conversation with, with Zach veteran with a sign a couple days ago where he was just like, yeah, you know, he couldn't made something that we were doing. He's like, yeah, sorry. I've just got, you know, two daughters. I'm trying to be in their fucking lives and reduce their, their, their yearning for only fans. Like, God, you're never only fans.

[Dawn Operator]

Road rage is never worth it.

[Eli Double Tap]

No.

[Jake Bar None]

Ever.

[Dawn Operator]

I don't, I don't know why. I feel like you're in the same position that I am. And all of us do is like some people try to make road rage worth it. It's like you don't know who you're getting into a road trade with. It's like, I'm not going to get out of my car. Well, if you want to approach my car, I'm sitting here like this the whole time. Like, well, don't walk up to my.

[Jake Bar None]

Window kind of thing.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's a stupid shit fit where it's like, yeah, okay. Do all of us get like a little bit more aggressive in traffic than you know, we probably should? Yeah, sure. But like to step out of your vehicle and try to actually get into a violent confrontation with somebody. A, that's stupid. B, again, you don't know who you're fucking with.

[Brandon Herrera]

I had just got back from Iraq. This is 2019. Our apartment here, you had to take a alley to it to park. So pull in. There is a vehicle parked in the middle of the alley. We sit there and I wait like solid couple minutes. They're not moving, so honk they, we.

[Jake Bar None]

Knew what mama was. We knew you were doing.

[Brandon Herrera]

They go like this. I go by, then they follow me. I park, pull into my parking spot, and then they box me in. I get out and I just had my 1911 at that time. I was just like, this is my car, grab it and I just step out with it. And I walk to my trunk second. I step out with it. They. And this is. You are. There's no escape. You are in a parking lot. And that alley is the only way to that parking lot spot. And they were boxing me in. They knew that second they seen that dip the out. I was like, okay, that's weird.

[Dawn Operator]

Why would you time. I came to Brandon's house that. That last place your truck got broken into so many times when you first moved here. Oh, yeah, the first time I went there, I was parked in a. I was in a gas station just pumping gas.

[Eli Double Tap]

I remember that. Yeah.

[Dawn Operator]

Two, Edgar's like boxed me in and I just lifted my shirt up and showed my gun and they, they did the same thing. They were like, er. It's like, oh, I'm not a soft target anymore.

[Eli Double Tap]

A lot of people don't even. Well, that demonstrates a few things. One, the average criminal is a fucking coward.

[Jake Bar None]

Well, yeah, they prey on the weak.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah. Soft targets. They play on soft targets.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, One of those, like an NFL team that goes up against a. What am I thinking of? A junior high football ball team. A Pop Warner football team is what they're doing. But then once Pop Warner shows up as a D1 team as well. They, they, they always, they always end up as, they always run off.

[Dawn Operator]

That's why, that's why I was, I always tell my woman these days, I'm like, carry your gun, carry your gun. Because no matter if you're at a gas station, you're at the grocery store, no matter what. They prey on soft targets with, with.

[Eli Double Tap]

Darwin awards and with all sorts the shit that we, we watch on like a day to day basis because we're, you know, Internet clips, whatnot. The number one thing you, you notice in any situation where a gun gets drawn and actually fired in a defensive situation is that the people that are doing the, the robbery, whether it's like a pawn shop, a liquor store, a gas station, whatever, soon as the first shots fired, most people scatter every time they're getting the, out of that situation.

[Dawn Operator]

And it's always looking like a hard target. Like our females, they're be wonderful, like wonderful human beings. They, they don't understand what being a hard target. We go to a gas station, dudes don't want to rob us.

[Jake Bar None]

Like, well, can I ask you guys this? With all of you guys, this is why since I started, I've been doing this for five years now, I've never shown my wife in a, in a video ever.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yep.

[Jake Bar None]

Because it's an identifiable feature. Same with my kids. Once they started getting identified identifiable features, I stopped showing them because like if I'm not around, I do trust my wife to defend my kids, but I'm not there and they're around by themselves all the time. Right. So while I do believe she, she could defend my kids, it'd be, they'd be a lot more safe with me around and by, by any means for anybody watching. I'm not a badass. I could beat the shit out of, I would say 50% of the world. But when I have a gun, I'm winning most of the time.

[Brandon Herrera]

All right.

[Jake Bar None]

I'm winning most of the time. So that's what I mean by surprise. Mouse control that. Yeah, yeah. It's one of those to where. But if they're identifiable and I'm not there, now she has to worry about that.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

And you guys are so popular.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well then you've got people on the Internet that just you the parasocial relationships and everything like that, like gets a little weird. I've never shown any significant other on camera, period. That's like a hard role for me.

[Jake Bar None]

Aren't you single?

[Eli Double Tap]

No.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh.

[Eli Double Tap]

But most people wouldn't know that like.

[Jake Bar None]

That I was trying to Make a joke. And I failed. All right, that's on me.

[Eli Double Tap]

And that's, that's the thing most, most of the. Most. The podcast audience never knows whether I'm single, in a relationship, whatever, and like. And that's completely intentional for that reason.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Secure security through obscurity, you know, I like that.

[Jake Bar None]

Our security through ignorance.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, yeah, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's one of those hard ones. Like, when you're in the public eye, it is. Okay. How am I gonna manage this relationship with me and Sav? We waited a year. I was like, okay. And any dating, it was that rule. It's like, hey, six months, I'm never going to show you on social media just because I don't know where this is going. I don't know who you are as an individual. But six months to a year, then we can figure out. Let's start rolling out content. Or you being part of that if you want to. I am not going to push it. And then we can work on it. But past that, it's the same thing.

[Jake Bar None]

How do you navigate that? Cuz she was also. Before you guys met, she was also social media, right?

[Brandon Herrera]

I didn't know that.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, okay. Okay.

[Brandon Herrera]

No idea she had.

[Jake Bar None]

If they're already on social media, they. That's. That's all.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, they were. And she was like, yeah, I want the same thing. So I was like, oh, perfect. But you got to see the flip side with. Before we posted anything together, she did a video of her shooting one of my guns.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

And then all the comments like, that's Eli Double Tap Skunk, because it has a just like the skin. And then her comment section is like, oh, I know who owns that gun. And that was with her wake up call. Like, holy shit. What the is this? How do people know from your specific firearm? I'm like, that's, that's the Internet. Really quick.

[Jake Bar None]

Have you guys ever had any scares with your families or your friends? Families included? Like, my mom runs a lot of my, my merch stuff. Right. And my people know what my mom looks like. People know what my dad looks like. Have you guys had any scares of people being a little bit too aggressive towards people that you have love for?

[Eli Double Tap]

I think we all, we all know somebody who has like, in the the Creator game, like, you always hear, like, a lot of different stories and everybody has a different line too. Like, you have a different line than I do. You have a different line than I do. Like, everybody just has. It's what you're comfortable with. Especially like, just when it comes to security situations and the con.

[Brandon Herrera]

I. I do believe it is the content.

[Dawn Operator]

You do.

[Brandon Herrera]

Because that's going to change who reaches.

[Eli Double Tap]

Out what they're watching for and what their intentions are.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Cuz like Ryden has a. Like everyone's so supportive on that side. They're like, oh, like I mean I showed you. It's like all just everyone is so positive. But then you have the flip side. Like Cody's been. You've been swatted how many times?

[Dawn Operator]

Five times.

[Jake Bar None]

You've been full on swatted?

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

Doing a stream or whatever.

[Dawn Operator]

Not during my stream, but I've been swatted five times, three times in my skate shop, twice at my house.

[Eli Double Tap]

And that's because. And partially because of like it's so politically divisive. Because he was doing cop content. Especially back in, you know, Summer of Love 2020. Like that was really new.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like that's, that's where that becomes even fallen swatty.

[Jake Bar None]

So I'm actually, you know, maybe this is a good conversation have there because I'm terrified. I do a lot of streaming and whatnot. If I'm streaming and I hear somebody kick down my front door, the very first thing I'm doing, I have a bunch of loaded guns around me in my stream room because I keep them away from my daughters obviously. But the first thing I'm doing is grabbing a rifle and then going upstairs. And if the SWAT team is there and they see somebody coming up the stairs with the firearm, I'm dead now.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's why Cody.

[Jake Bar None]

So how, how do you navigate that?

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, you have to tell the. Your local sheriff's department. Yeah, you gotta tell them that that might happen. I'm. I've only been swatting and I've only been swatted in my own home once.

[Jake Bar None]

Okay.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like you had to go out in front of. You had to walk in.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, I had to go out in front of my house, lift my shirt up, turn around, showing that I didn't have a weapon on me because they blocked off my entire neighborhood and they called me out to the front of my house and was it like a.

[Jake Bar None]

Bomb threat or something?

[Eli Double Tap]

No.

[Brandon Herrera]

What's more scary is he'll tell you the threat, but the saving grace was chocolate.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah. Thank. Thanks. Fucking A guy that I was on the SWAT team with. Yeah, that they called him first and they were like, hey man, is this guy a threat? And he's like, yeah, this dude while you're over there.

[Brandon Herrera]

You want one?

[Jake Bar None]

You want to make me one? I love you.

[Dawn Operator]

So this, this Guy I was on SWAT with, they happen to know him.

[Eli Double Tap]

Thank you.

[Dawn Operator]

Thank God I live so close to a department that knew the department like the sister department still in the same area that you were kind of the same area. And they called him and they're like, hey, does this guy have guns? He's like, yeah, this guy has guns. Okay, so if we kick in his door, what is he going to do? Right? And my buddy Chocolate was like, he's gonna kill everyone that comes in his front door. I'm just telling you that right now. Do not kick in.

[Jake Bar None]

I almost feel like that doesn't help.

[Dawn Operator]

At that point because if they kicked in my front door, I would have went out there, I would have grabbed my bedside gun and would have just. I, I could have killed some police officers. Like, that's the crazy.

[Jake Bar None]

And you probably end up dead too. I mean.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

No matter how trained you are, a whole SWAT team might drop you too.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, like, and I, I always set my, I always set my, my bedside up to where I have the best angle. So I would have killed like four or five dudes and they would have killed me and then it would have.

[Jake Bar None]

Been a horrible thing out of how defensible it was. That's why I bought the house that I have.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, it worked out well. Like everyone was able to get together and I walked out in front of my front yard and I lifted up my shirt and I was like, darren, guns.

[Eli Double Tap]

Because that's, that's the last like, you know, obviously a shootout with the cops on a swatting on like a complete, you know, either troll or a mistake. Like that's worst case scenario. Nobody ever wants that to happen. But no, no, that's the, the underlying.

[Jake Bar None]

Problem is that it fucking can.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like if you, yeah, any, any one of us. Like that's.

[Dawn Operator]

So how do you deal with it? Well, it's like why I think.

[Eli Double Tap]

Thank you.

[Dawn Operator]

Fucking Chocolate wasn't my friend that was on SWAT with me and didn't know anyone on that, that department that was there if they didn't know to call fucking Chocolate at that time.

[Eli Double Tap]

Is a shootout the most probable future? No. But is it one? Is that absolutely a scenario that can happen? Yeah. And so that's, that's one of the reasons that I, and you know, maybe I'll put forward legislation on this at one point. I would really like to. I don't think the penalties are severe enough if you got caught on like a swatting where you are intentionally sending an armed SWAT team, armed police officers to this person's house with the intention someone kicking in there. A lot of. Dude, that's attempted.

[Dawn Operator]

I would have killed like two or three people.

[Eli Double Tap]

And more importantly, they're trying to get them to kill you. Yeah, that's the whole intent.

[Dawn Operator]

Well, they, they called it in as I was. I was. I had already killed my girlfriend at the time. I was holding my son John hostage.

[Jake Bar None]

Hostage. I'm kidding.

[Eli Double Tap]

And this is what they said, not this is what you did.

[Dawn Operator]

No, no, no.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

All right.

[Dawn Operator]

And then like, my bedroom at the time, I picked my bedroom so I could look down the stairwell and kill people. So like, if someone, you know, if someone, I don't know who it is, kicked in my door, I would have grabbed my bedside gun and looked down the stairwell and had a nasty peak. And I would have killed like three.

[Jake Bar None]

Dudes coming in the door, coming up.

[Dawn Operator]

And these are three police officers. I would have killed three police officers coming in the door. At least they would have smoked me at like fourth one, fifth one.

[Eli Double Tap]

Because all you know is that, hey, it's 4:00 clock in the morning, I'm groggy, my home alarm is going off, my girlfriend is screaming.

[Dawn Operator]

What'S going on? And then I would have killed three.

[Jake Bar None]

Police officers because of some dumbass on the Internet.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. And that there needs to be fucking.

[Jake Bar None]

It needs to be a felony. I would almost say federal.

[Eli Double Tap]

It needs to be attempted murder.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, one guy got. Yeah, one guy got charged. It was a Canadian that did swat, but it doesn't happen enough. They're like, they hit the dude with the book, but he had to kill the cops, killed the dad. That is the only reason that he got thrown the book. And it should be every time you're like, you don't know how the police officers are going to react or the individual you're calling that SWAT on.

[Eli Double Tap]

So in my mind, it should be the same exact penalty as if you start firing rounds into somebody's house.

[Brandon Herrera]

Dude.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, like, did you kill them? No. Could you have absolute lutely. And that was your intent.

[Brandon Herrera]

Cop runs out, answer. Or guy runs out, answers the door. He's like, what the? Like, what the. I don't know if he had a firearm because of the knocking. I want to say he didn't. No, he didn't. He's just like, why? He's like, what the. Is going off, hands are up, everyone's aiming like this, this, then this. He's like, what are you talking about?

[Jake Bar None]

I believe the guy. The guy did shoot at the cops, didn't he?

[Brandon Herrera]

No, this One didn't.

[Jake Bar None]

No, I'm thinking like six or seven years ago.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, this is America.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, okay, okay.

[Jake Bar None]

It was a Canadian swatter he did shoot.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, a Canadian swat.

[Dawn Operator]

Oh, yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

I'm pretty sure the dad did shoot, but he didn't know who the was coming in.

[Brandon Herrera]

This one didn't. This is outside on the porch. This is all. This is all on cam. Homeboy is standing there like this. He's like, I am. They're telling you to put his hands down or doing something. And he is like, what the are you doing here right now? Nicer neighborhood, too. Like porch wraparound.

[Jake Bar None]

That matters.

[Brandon Herrera]

I mean, yeah, to me, but it is just a dude's like, hey, what the fuck is going on right now?

[Eli Double Tap]

There is a difference between, like a neighborhood that has a lot of issues with violent crime and a neighborhood where it's like, this is an accountant. Like, we've never had a call in this area.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, it's I. I look at as in war. If I'm approaching a well chic versus like a shitty area.

[Eli Double Tap]

Layers of risk going in.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, that's how I'm going to hold my gun. How I'm gonna have the team wrap around to assault the objective. It's like, hey, this is a not a bad guy. And let's just fill it out. But they went in hard. He's like, what the is going on? He doesn't know. He's like, my family's fine. What's going on? Do I. And then he's getting mixed commands. So he has like, show your ID and then get down. He's like, what do you want me to do? I am so confused. And then he goes like this. And then they shoot him.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, my God.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yep. And then instantly fucking he dies. Family's like, what the. Then they find out it is a swatting batch. It happens all on camera. This happened in 2015.

[Jake Bar None]

Or I would say with legislation.

[Brandon Herrera]

Right.

[Jake Bar None]

On Something like that. If somebody does die on it. Let's say in your example, say you do drop four cops and then you end up getting killed. I think whoever did the swatting gets four cop killings and one homicide. Yeah, which I mean, cop killing is homicide, but they tend to hold more of a charge.

[Brandon Herrera]

Right.

[Jake Bar None]

Correct me if I'm wrong, I actually don't know. But does it hold more of a charge if you kill a cop as opposed to a civilian?

[Eli Double Tap]

Depends on the circumstance, I imagine.

[Dawn Operator]

I don't know. See, they. They never figured out what. What swatting was at that point. So when they do that now though it is.

[Jake Bar None]

Well, you were to do what you explained.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's still surprising how many cops don't know about swatting.

[Dawn Operator]

That. Yeah, when that happened, I was trying to explain to the cops, like after I did like, took my shirt off and I was like, hey, do you.

[Eli Double Tap]

Want me to fix his eyebrows?

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, I do. No, no, keep going, sweetie. Hold on one moment.

[Dawn Operator]

You don't like that?

[Jake Bar None]

I don't. It is a. Let me sneak it over there, I'll tell you. But no, no, I, I want to know your thought now with. Yeah, so like, but here's the thing. You end up dying, your son loses his father, and four cops are dead. Because I do think you could probably drop quite a few of a SWAT team. Sure. But does the swatter now get all of those charges? Because I feel like they should.

[Dawn Operator]

Like they should. Yeah, I don't know any legislation that would do that. But.

[Jake Bar None]

So they could just call in and kill five people with zero repercussions.

[Eli Double Tap]

I also would hope at a certain point you got positive ID on your targets where you're like, oh, not people I want to be shooting right now, hands up kind of thing. But. Oh yeah, like, but it takes you a while to wake up because you're disoriented. 3 o' clock in the morning.

[Dawn Operator]

Because the, the, the first time that swatting happened, I was streaming all night. I was drinking like with my friends on Stream and I was like, yeah, I'm drinking. Hahaha. I fall asleep and then I wake up to come outside. Come outside.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, they were talking over like a blowhorn or whatever.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Dawn Operator]

And the only reason that happened, like they were saying, is because they were able to get in contact with the guy that I used to be on SWAT with. And the guy on SWAT was like, hey, do not kick in his door, please do not kick in.

[Jake Bar None]

You might get him, but a lot of you are gonna die in the process.

[Eli Double Tap]

Which is why one of the. And again, I, I really like, I like what you said earlier. For any of our friends who do content creation, if you live in an area where you can talk to the police department, department, anything like that, absolutely. Let them know, like, hey, this is a possibility. Here's my personal cell phone number. If anything like this happens, please just, you know, if you get a random call saying that I did some heinous and I'm barricading myself, just shoot me a text. You know, let's. Let's sort this out.

[Dawn Operator]

This all. This guy almost got me killed, dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

Good Congressman right there. Senator I thought, right, Senator Brandon.

[Jake Bar None]

I mean, I like the Senate. He's doing great work right now.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, that is something that I've looked at. Doing is like drafting legislation on that. Because that's, in my.

[Jake Bar None]

In my opinion, scary thing. Especially for people who are capable of killing. Again, I'm not like the biggest badass in the world by any means, but you kicked on my door. I'm not dying alone, I guess is the best way to put it. You are probably more capable than I am. That's fine. You're way more capable than I am, to be honest. But I'm not dying alone. And that if somebody swats me to do that. But now my kids and my wife are also in the crosshairs too, because my wife's gonna come out too. And my wife's probably gonna come out to, you know, defend our kids and say, I'm streaming or whatever.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

And then maybe she gets shot too.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Jake Bar None]

So, like, how. How the. Does that legislation work? Because here's the thing.

[Eli Double Tap]

I feel like people don't do it. And I feel like people do it because they feel like it's a. Either innocent. Funny, funny, or they're intentionally doing it to try to fucking kill you. Which either way, they're trying to kill you or get cops killed or whatever. I feel like if. And they feel like there's no repercussion. Correct. There's no actual legal repercussion to it outside of a slap on the wrist because. Oh, it was a prank, bro. No, it's attempted murder and you should be treated.

[Jake Bar None]

And what's bullshit about swatting prank?

[Brandon Herrera]

It's called the swatting prank because that was. That one specifically. So the. The kid did get 20 years, but not enough because the dad did die and he had no. He was playing Modern Warfare.

[Jake Bar None]

I would argue that's manslaughter.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, well, at the bare minimum, I think it's attempted murder because. Well, because it's like swatting prank. It's like, bro, it stops being a prank as soon as you send 10 people that are trained to kill people.

[Dawn Operator]

Well, there's their house.

[Brandon Herrera]

Exactly. That's where it's this trade off. Now you have the problem of the individual. The office officer that did fire, like, he was obviously his hands were like this. Like that dude's a.

[Dawn Operator]

That's what I'm saying. I'm so glad a woman officer didn't show up when I was doing this.

[Brandon Herrera]

We would have made so much money off the donut merch.

[Jake Bar None]

I'll make money off Any. Just so we're clear, but she shot me.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, it's like the one that did the ND next to the guy's head. Dude. Yes, on the. Oh, my God.

[Jake Bar None]

No, talking about the one that, like.

[Eli Double Tap]

The guy cuffed on the ground.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

And.

[Dawn Operator]

And then.

[Jake Bar None]

And then she just shoots him. That one.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, this is. She accidentally indies, right? He is.

[Jake Bar None]

Well, yeah, she undies, but he's the one that we. Like. It was a traffic stop.

[Brandon Herrera]

Is he handcuffed on the ground and his head is on the floor? And then she accidentally shoots. And then.

[Jake Bar None]

And then afterwards, the camera goes to.

[Brandon Herrera]

Her and her face is, like, up. Well, there's been a lot of. Cody. How many?

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, by all means. Say women. Oh, by all means.

[Brandon Herrera]

How many accidental female shootings are all.

[Dawn Operator]

I'm saying, is there a lot of good female police officers they shouldn't be policing?

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, I mean, like, your. Your sister's a good example. Like a good cop. Right? A good female police officer.

[Dawn Operator]

We've discussed this before where I think female police officers make the best investigators. They are fantastic. Child crime investigators. They are fantastic. In any. Anything that has detectives. Yeah, detective. Any detective work. Females are amazing at it.

[Jake Bar None]

We see that in relationships.

[Dawn Operator]

But when it's a man versus every DM I have.

[Brandon Herrera]

Sorry.

[Jake Bar None]

No, I'm sorry. I love you.

[Eli Double Tap]

We're at that part of the night.

[Dawn Operator]

I just think there. There's a certain sex that comes with violence, and it rhymes with mel and.

[Brandon Herrera]

It rhymes with bail. Not smell, not hell. Kelly just says the word.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, if we recall the last time.

[Jake Bar None]

No, no, no, no.

[Eli Double Tap]

The last time we did rhyming on the podcast, it was the booper bike burgers.

[Jake Bar None]

No, I didn't finish his thought now, because he's right. I want to see where he goes from here. Oh, we are dickheads.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like infantry.

[Dawn Operator]

I think females are very good investigatory work. They're very good at, like, investigating things. They're really good at that. But when it comes to, like, if you're on the streets and some dudes popping off, it's really hard to get them into handcuffs. If you're a female.

[Eli Double Tap]

I think it's unfair to hold people to the standard of their biological counterparts.

[Brandon Herrera]

Unless they can pass the. It's like infantry is a good example. Or the military. It was. Hey, as long as you can pass the male military standards, then by all means fucking go for it. Yeah, but for combat, Moss, it's not. Hey, well, you get a separate one, and it's the only reason you get to Pass this. Because now you have to do a lot less. Not like it's close, it is a lot less push ups, a lot less sit ups.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's just like if your job is like, if you're like in a medic mos or whatever, like part of your job is can you drag a 200 pound man and 50 pounds of gear out of the line of fire? If you can't do that, that is a big problem.

[Brandon Herrera]

If you struggle hitting 30 push ups for your bare minimum, chances are when I'm in full kit weighing 250 pounds and I'm getting shot at and I'm wounded, you're not grabbing my ass and dragging me out of the line of fire. Probably just guessing.

[Dawn Operator]

Probably.

[Eli Double Tap]

And it's, and it's the needle in the haystack argument where it's like we're not saying no women can do it. And there's never been a woman who can do it because they can. And there have been. Yeah, I personally, by and large, you have to be held to the same standard because otherwise what the fuck are we doing here?

[Brandon Herrera]

I personally trained a girl. She was trying to get in the infantry when they were just opening it up and she could do 11.

[Jake Bar None]

Was that 72 or.

[Brandon Herrera]

I know, yeah, for my age. But she could do 11 pull ups as a female. And I was like, she's like, should I be able to do this? I was like, girl, you bench 185 as a female, you weigh a buck 50. You'll pass any infantry trash, I promise you. I would rather have you on my side than a majority of people. You were strong as. I don't know if you're doing tea or whatever. I'm fine with it. Load up on steroids, girl. But you meet the standard from male aspect.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

If I, if I want to, if I get to choose what guys are next to me in a foxhole, I'm like, yeah, dude, I don't give a if you're on gear. I would prefer it, frankly.

[Jake Bar None]

Well, on that note, I want to see, I want to see more baseball players on gear.

[Eli Double Tap]

I want to see more Z fighters on gear. I want there to be a stereo.

[Jake Bar None]

Give me the best that humanity could.

[Brandon Herrera]

Give us the two tiers on drugs. Yeah, I want master chief.

[Eli Double Tap]

I want a UFC league where they're all on gear. So ufc.

[Jake Bar None]

Well, Jon Jones has been doing that for a while. Any back to that a little bit about that conversation? The Internet or the government knows is that I look up.

[Brandon Herrera]

Right.

[Jake Bar None]

So how the do they not Know who called in the. The swat. The swatting.

[Dawn Operator]

No one that responded to my house during that time knew what swatting was. They were like, what swatting? I had to.

[Jake Bar None]

They can figure out who it is, is what I'm asking.

[Dawn Operator]

They can't.

[Jake Bar None]

Okay. They know I look up police level. Oh, okay.

[Eli Double Tap]

Until when you get the. The feds involved and everything on higher level, like, sure.

[Dawn Operator]

Well, not this energy.

[Eli Double Tap]

Do you disagree?

[Dawn Operator]

No, I agree with Brandon. Like, brother, no one even knew what swatting was. The first time I got swatting. This is like 2018, they didn't know what swatting was. I had to explain it to them because they came to my house and they're like, can I go in your house? So why do you want to go in my house? Well, because someone said that you were killing your son and holding someone hostage. Well, what are you talking about? Do you know what swatting is? Someone swatted me and they repeated to me, we don't know what is swatting. What is that? And I had to sit there and explain to the investigators what swatting was. They had no idea. And this is in 2018. And then I got swatted again in my skate shop about a year later in 2019. I had to explain to them, no, someone's calling a false call in. No one's here trying to hurt anyone, blah, blah, blah. Maybe, maybe now they're trying to pick up on it especially because back then.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like again, like I was saying, like you, you had a very pro police channel where you were just like breaking down. Like, hey, people would see, oh, he's a bootlicker, he's this. But you're just like breaking down police body cam footage. Like, hey, this is exactly what actually happened. But the police, the anti police people would want to harm you is the point.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, what's up is all the investigators, they've been working there 20 years. They don't try to learn what the new thing is. They're just looking for their tenure. Sorry to say that.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, there's like a teacher.

[Dawn Operator]

Maybe they're just looking to get out of policing thing because this was during like the George Floyd shit. So they're, they're trying their best to get on their tenure and to just get out of policing altogether. They don't try to learn new things. They're just, they're just, they're coasting, they're coasting on their job. They, they didn't try to learn what swatting was. They're just like, oh, yeah, we'll just We'll. We'll figure it out along the way. They. They don't try to learn new things. I could go on this for a minute.

[Brandon Herrera]

Doing the math.

[Jake Bar None]

I will see here for two hours with you explaining this to me because the, the caught things very interesting to me, but technically, I keep asking.

[Dawn Operator]

What I'm trying to say is since the George Floyd riots happen, policing is dead. It's dead.

[Jake Bar None]

Can you take a deep breath for me? Look at that. I can't breathe. Anywho, but I.

[Dawn Operator]

Some guy died from fentanyl and now policing is dead. So the cops that earned their tenure for the past 18 years are trying to just get out of the job. And so the new cops that those cops are training, they're learning from those cops that are just trying to get out because some guy died of fentanyl. And now they're all pieces of shit too.

[Jake Bar None]

I like them a lot.

[Brandon Herrera]

Cody's a good one.

[Dawn Operator]

They're not all pieces of shit, but they're learning from these cops who are.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like, yeah, we'll just.

[Dawn Operator]

We'll just learn from all this George Floyd stuff. And now they're pieces of shit. Excuse me, what?

[Jake Bar None]

George Floyd is still affecting policing.

[Dawn Operator]

It's affected policing for the next 20 years, dude.

[Jake Bar None]

Really? Well, the only reason why. Jesus Christ, I'm slurring. You guys give me too much alcohol.

[Eli Double Tap]

You were slurring it, bro.

[Jake Bar None]

No, first of all, fuck you. What I'm asking about that is because I've seen things change at least a little bit to where it's like, do your job as a cop.

[Dawn Operator]

So, yeah, you have old school cops, they're afraid to do their job now, and now they're leaning on. They're teaching their policing because they're so. These old school cops, they're scared to do their job, so they're leaning on these cops that they're teaching to do their job. So the new cops are scared to death to actually police because, oh, Lord forbid we go into a rough neighborhood. These are the new cops. Lord forbid we go into a new, new fucking neighborhood and actually police and actually be officers and crack down on a high crime area. God forbid that new high crime area is full of black people. Oh my God, this new high crime area is black people. Oh, we shouldn't touch that area. But the new cops are scared to go in there. And so guess what? That new high crime area blows up in crime and no one wants to touch it now because now the old school cops who are still working for the department and the new school Cops who work in the department who. The old school train the new school. Everyone's scared to do their job and no one wants to do anything. Hence, hence Chicago. Now, like, it's. So there's a high crime area. You go there, you police the high crime area. But no, no, no, no, hold on, hold on. It's majority black, so we. No, no, no. We need to stay away from that area because it's scary. It's scary. We don't want to look bad. So the old school cops are trying to retire now. They can't go, they can't go there and be racist. They're trying to retire.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, at one point you broke down. To me it was broken window policing.

[Dawn Operator]

Oh, broken window policing.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. What is that exactly?

[Jake Bar None]

That's California. Jesus Christ, I don't know what the hell right now.

[Brandon Herrera]

This is California. Go for it.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, he's in his bag right now and I love it.

[Dawn Operator]

Keep going. Broken window.

[Jake Bar None]

He's in his fucking bag right now.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'm sorry if I hit a soft spot.

[Jake Bar None]

I'm not trying to take over anything, but I want to hear what he has to say.

[Dawn Operator]

I basically just explained, explained it. We're okay. Broken window policing is where you go to a place where there's broken windows everywhere. There's graffiti on the wall. You go there. Like, why would we police that area? Well, that's where the crime is. We're going to go there and police that area and what a lot of, sorry, Democrat blue. They go over there and they're like, well, maybe we shouldn't do that. We should be a reactionary police force. We should just react when things happen. Whereas progressive policing is, oh, there's broken windows, there's graffiti. We should try to be proactive. Yeah, proactive. Excuse me, proactive.

[Jake Bar None]

You should go there.

[Dawn Operator]

You should police those areas. Exactly what you should do.

[Jake Bar None]

You go, there's no racism there. It's just like.

[Dawn Operator]

That makes sense. It's not racism.

[Eli Double Tap]

No. It's poor because poor.

[Jake Bar None]

Right.

[Eli Double Tap]

In reality, God forbid there are conditioning where there's crime.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, crime, crime there.

[Jake Bar None]

Because there's a lot of black folks there.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, if they're, they're black, white, red, whatever. It's like there's be.

[Jake Bar None]

There's a lot of crime happening.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

We all just. It's literally broken window policing. We're like, I see a broken fucking window, I don't know who did it, but I'm going to make sure it doesn't happen again.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah. So I'm going to police that area.

[Brandon Herrera]

Further yeah, perfect example. Just everyone is clear. It is. There is a crime area. Doesn't matter your race. It is. This area looks like shit. Don't give a what the race is. We have to patrol that. We have to focus on that. That's it. That's it. No one's like on top of that. This black community, that's really well established. Nice. We're going to go patrol it. No one gives a fuck about that.

[Dawn Operator]

No one cares about race.

[Eli Double Tap]

And you know what? If there's a black community where it's high crime, do you know who you're protecting if you're patrolling it? The black population. The black community, you're protecting them from crime. I don't understand that. I've never understood the one thing that.

[Dawn Operator]

Always fucking drove me crazy about the like, can I get on the Black Lives Matter. They wanted body camera. Black Lives Matter started out in 2016 when I started making my videos. They wanted body camera.

[Brandon Herrera]

They're doing great now. By the way, where's the owners at?

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, their mansions are doing great.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, their mansions are doing really good.

[Brandon Herrera]

They're living it up.

[Eli Double Tap]

Good God.

[Dawn Operator]

But you know what?

[Eli Double Tap]

You know what?

[Dawn Operator]

They what Black Lives Matter, who promoted body cameras. Which body cameras are doing great. We can see what happens every day.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's great for your business model too.

[Dawn Operator]

Oh, by the way, body cameras, they don't want body cameras anymore because they say that's. That's and racist in the first place.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh yeah, it's racist.

[Dawn Operator]

Yeah, that's the new thing.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, what?

[Dawn Operator]

Body cameras are very, very.

[Jake Bar None]

Can we agree before we continue, can we agree that there are bad shoots for sure?

[Dawn Operator]

Oh, 100%. It happens.

[Jake Bar None]

But like we, we hold them accountable when every. What I've found is every single person that just hates cops just hate cops now one of them has a credit score above 500 and they're all losers. However, cops need to be held accountable for sure.

[Eli Double Tap]

And I don't think anybody on any like on the pro cop side, bad.

[Jake Bar None]

Shoots and only one of them is bad shoe.

[Brandon Herrera]

I will say this. Cody always broke down. This is what I hated the most. The hate Cody would get. It's. He's a bootlicker. I was like, no. Cody fucking calls out if you're just a bad cop every fucking time. Squirrel cop hotel dude. That's like crawl towards me random kid. Like you call them out and that should. You're holding him to the standard and you're still called a bootleggers. Like no, no, I will. You will call them out. Every time when it's terrible, you're like, you're, what the are you doing?

[Dawn Operator]

You know?

[Jake Bar None]

Do you think new cops suck? Honestly? I mean, that's not my podcast. Maybe I shouldn't ask questions.

[Dawn Operator]

I think large, I think I, I, with new policing, I think everyone needs to do jiu jitsu. We need to have large male cops, primarily in policing. But what drove me crazy about the demonetized police thing is they wanted to privatize police. So like your own neighborhood polices themselves. Do you know what's going to happen?

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, you're talking about like the community.

[Dawn Operator]

Do you know what's going to happen? The people, the people with low income. So like the Section 8 housing, they're going to police themselves and you're going to have less for police officers. You know, these shitheads that don't cry. Guess, guess what the, the high income areas are going to have. They're going to have Delta guys, seals, they're going to have like these badass policing their area. So like, like in my neighborhood, I.

[Jake Bar None]

Would have, you think the higher, that you think the higher things would have.

[Dawn Operator]

The, the, oh, the higher income would have the higher things. So here's what's going to happen.

[Jake Bar None]

I think the lower ones would have actual.

[Dawn Operator]

Hold on, Jake.

[Jake Bar None]

I, Sorry.

[Dawn Operator]

All right, watch me on this one. They won't privatize policing. So you're going to have the mall cops and the lower income areas.

[Jake Bar None]

All right?

[Dawn Operator]

And then in the higher income areas that I live in, they're going to have Delta guys, they're going to have former seals. Because I'm like, yeah, dude, I'll, I'll pay you contractors. Yeah, I'm gonna, yeah, I'm gonna pay you 60 a year just to walk around my neighborhood. Yeah. And what's going to happen comes to America, the lower incomes are going to say, well, we, we want the same, we want the same security the higher people have.

[Jake Bar None]

You know what?

[Dawn Operator]

They're going to fucking create police officers. Police.

[Jake Bar None]

I, I, I want to continue this. Hold on. I had to piss like a razor. So cut all of this out. I love what you're doing right now. Oh, God. Oh, thank you.

[Brandon Herrera]

Jake just moves here tomorrow. So this is my new home. I found my people.

[Dawn Operator]

Disband the police. What do you think's gonna happen? The people in the higher income neighborhoods are gonna have Delta. Well, it's, the lower incomes are gonna have security guards. What are they gonna say? We want everyone to be equal. We're gonna disband that fucking law enforcement.

[Eli Double Tap]

You're going to dis.

[Jake Bar None]

You idiots.

[Eli Double Tap]

So you're going to disband that and, like. Oh, no, no.

[Brandon Herrera]

We need.

[Eli Double Tap]

We need. What is it? Community policing. But what was the term for that? It was like, social workers. Like, we need social workers that will go out in the job of police.

[Dawn Operator]

Yep.

[Eli Double Tap]

We need social workers to do this. Oh, my God. This job's dangerous. Do you have any idea how many social workers are getting assaulted and how many are getting killed? Okay, let's start doing this where, like, social workers, like, let's say half of them are armed and are trained with a weapon.

[Jake Bar None]

Hold on.

[Dawn Operator]

What did you just make? Oh, wow.

[Eli Double Tap]

And now there's some shootings involved. Okay, so we should make all the armed social workers have body cams.

[Dawn Operator]

We should give them tasers and mace. Oh, my God. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[Eli Double Tap]

And we should make them drive around in Dodge Chargers that say serve and.

[Jake Bar None]

Protect on the side.

[Dawn Operator]

The ones that say police on the side.

[Jake Bar None]

You created the police, you idiots. This is.

[Eli Double Tap]

This is the first time, I think, in the history of the podcast we've had Cody's mic peak.

[Brandon Herrera]

I know. It's like, let Cody cook right now. And he is cooking.

[Eli Double Tap]

Dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

Eli Crane, we were talking about that the other day with. He just went to whatever congress about that and talked to one of the senators or congress members, and it was okay. Hey, pause. Hey, homie. So you wanted to defund police, right? Yeah. How much? $15 million. You wrote all this out. You defunded them because X, Y, and Z. And now you are calling them because there is a protest outside your house. And then you bitch that no police officers showed up to your house during this time.

[Jake Bar None]

He's there, too. I tell you what, we're all drunk.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, dude. Yeah, 100%. And it was. It was still like Eli Crane asking the senator or congressman, he's like, tell me why you hated this. You hated the police, you defunded them, and now one stands at your house, period. Every day. You have one allocated to your protection every day because a silent protest was outside your house. And you didn't like that. And he had no. Have you seen this?

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, no. Well, I've seen so many like it. It's the same shit where people, like, they. Well, I will vote against your right to have a gun or to have the weapon that you feel you deem appropriate to protect yourself and your family. Meanwhile, I will have private security and the amount of congresspeople that I know for a fact behind the scenes say, I don't have private Security. And they have private security.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, dude.

[Eli Double Tap]

They absolutely do. Not just like Capitol Police, but like, at. Outside of their house. And like, that. They 100%.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's that guy. I'm against guns. And you're like, h. Everyone protecting you isn't against those little firearms.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, it's kind of.

[Eli Double Tap]

It reminds me a little bit of like the aviator with Leonardo DiCaprio and I. Was it Martin Scorsese? Yep. Or it's just the. Oh, well, we don't believe in money in this house, Mr. Hughes. It's like, that's. Cause you always had it. Yeah, it's the same kind of take.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's the weird shit.

[Eli Double Tap]

Also, we got Mr. Caleb Francis in the house. What's up, buddy?

[Brandon Herrera]

He's on say hi. Oh, my God.

[Jake Bar None]

I've never met this man. Hold on. This is all me.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's not me.

[Eli Double Tap]

Sorry to accidentally disband the podcast, but.

[Brandon Herrera]

I have Caleb for saying hi afterwards. And everyone's like, caleb.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. Pretending we all just didn't, like, interrupt the podcast to.

[Brandon Herrera]

We were.

[Eli Double Tap]

Say hi to Caleb.

[Brandon Herrera]

Caleb. Caleb, come here. Just put your head in real quick. Get that beautiful face in.

[Dawn Operator]

Caleb Francis, everyone.

[Jake Bar None]

Can I get two kisses?

[Dawn Operator]

Hello.

[Jake Bar None]

Hello, everybody.

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Eli Double Tap]

He will kiss you in the mouth.

[Dawn Operator]

So, Eli.

[Eli Double Tap]

So, Eli, there's lore here you don't know.

[Brandon Herrera]

I love this group of boys. My favorite people.

[Jake Bar None]

What's up, baby?

[Brandon Herrera]

Okay. Gfc. Where. Where did that come from?

[Jake Bar None]

So there was a video that I did, and at one point I said, gfc. And at the end I was like, I know you guys are asking. It's like, what the fuck's GFC mean? And I said, it means get. It was just a random ass fucking video.

[Brandon Herrera]

Bleep. Just so you know.

[Jake Bar None]

Yeah, bleep, bleep. But that happened. And then after that, I just. Apparently I figured out the best three letters of all time because it's meant get. Fuck Cancer. Global financial crisis. It's meant grotesque Fat Child. I mean, it's meant so many things. It's whatever you want it to be, realistically. But that's kind of how it started. You protest Fat Child.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, my God. Brandon chose violence today.

[Eli Double Tap]

We can't include that. But. Jesus Christ, what was going on now?

[Brandon Herrera]

What was your blackface video?

[Jake Bar None]

We already talked about that.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, but what. What did it stand for?

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, the greatest fucking colored.

[Brandon Herrera]

I like everything you do. And from a marketing point and business standpoint, fantastic. You're crushing it. Well, I appreciate that every day you are pushing that.

[Jake Bar None]

Oh, yeah, no. So everybody is watching, right? Now, I really don't make a whole bunch of money off views or anything like that. The GFC is everything to me. So everyone who's watching, who's part of the gfc, thank you guys so very much. The great friends club, the gay Friends club. Also I have another one gfsf, which is Give Fuck Stay, or Gay Friends.

[Brandon Herrera]

Stay Friends.

[Jake Bar None]

Look at us crushing it over here.

[Brandon Herrera]

I.

[Jake Bar None]

It's one of those things to where all of the horror stories that I heard when it came to content, it was, you know, these. The adpocalypse or things that we've talked about.

[Eli Double Tap]

Demonetization, age restriction.

[Jake Bar None]

So I didn't want to rely on the. The algorithms and shit like that to decide what I buy or to make sure my children and my wife are doing well. So I made a brand and it kind of worked out. It did kind of work out. I'm not, by the way, for anybody watching right now. Everybody seems to think I'm a fan. Multimillionaire. I'm not. But I have a 2025 at 4x 2500 HD, so crushing it. Fuck you. Anyway, that's what's crushing it to me. I did grow up to be in the thought process, and we talked about it at the beginning of the podcast. But assuming that makes it in of Wake up, support a family, die. Right? And the social media has opened up so many possibilities, and I can't appreciate you guys so much for having me out. Honestly, I just want to get you.

[Eli Double Tap]

In a room with Nico. Like, Nico Ortiz.

[Jake Bar None]

We're friends.

[Brandon Herrera]

Tomorrow we can.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's what I want to say coming out too.

[Brandon Herrera]

You know, nico lives like 10 minutes from here.

[Jake Bar None]

Why the isn't here?

[Eli Double Tap]

That's what I'm saying. I'm like, dude, I want to get you in a room with Nico because I feel like it's just like, unlock nuclear fusion.

[Brandon Herrera]

Are you gonna go to our place after? Take him.

[Eli Double Tap]

Let's not say that.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's why. Well, our spot. Sure, yeah, take him out.

[Jake Bar None]

I'm gonna fuck.

[Brandon Herrera]

And we'll invite Nico real quick. We'll meet you up there. Sound good? All right.

[Jake Bar None]

I love that. Well, do your outro or whatever you guys do that. I don't know. It's my first podcast of all time, by the way.

[Brandon Herrera]
