Key Segments and Discussion Points

1. Japan Recap, Food, and Travel (02:48–13:24)

• Donut Operator returns from Japan with classic stories about Japanese 7-Eleven food, societal differences, and travel upgrades.
• Cultural comparisons between the US and Japan, especially high-trust society and food (egg salad sandwiches and chicken at Japanese 7-Elevens beat US versions hands-down).
  • “Just going in [to a US 7-Eleven], you get diabetes” —Donut Operator (03:58)
• The group jokes about being minorities in Japan and riffs on pandemic responses.
• Discussion of travel luxuries: First class Delta “pod” seating for honeymoon, price pain, and amenities (fully reclining seats, mini-suites, open bars).
  • “It was a honeymoon. I spent a lot of money on that.” —Donut Operator (11:41)
• Lively banter about inflight mischief, “mile high club” jokes, and the logistics of first class pods.

---

2. Global Viruses, Vaccine Grievances, and Online Outrage (04:24–09:01)

• The group jokes about the “Hanata/Hanta virus” panic and Internet hysteria videos, mocking sensationalism and comparing to early COVID messaging.
  • “It’s the boy who cried wolf… now nobody believes you.” —Brandon Herrera (06:04)
  • “After being tricked into triple vaccine in Canada, I f***ing hate it...I’ve never felt the same.” —Tectone (06:11)
• How “false accusations” and viral outrage can spiral, drawing skepticism and apathy from the public (“Sink the ship. Bomb the ship. Even if it was that fatal, nobody would ‘lock down’ again.” —Tectone, 05:51)
• Back-and-forth about pandemic “scare-mongering,” comorbidities, hospital money incentives, and distrust in reporting.

---

3. Twitch/Rumble, Cancel Culture, and Platform Hypocrisy (13:24–15:46)

• Tectone's streaming move: He’s left Twitch for Rumble, which he calls the best platform for American streamers.
  • “As a streamer, [Rumble] is the best. You just get hella free ads. They run almost no ads on the platform.” —Tectone (13:56)
• Critical of Twitch's “garbage” policies and double standard on political speech:
  • “If you say ‘transgenders aren’t mentally ill,’ you’re fine. Say the inverse, banned for everything... The CEO is a retard using the platform to jerk off.” —Tectone (14:27)
• The group debates the economics and psychology behind OnlyFans and “parasocial relationships.”
  • “Parasocialism is what drives OnlyFans. They feel like they know that person, and that's what makes them come.” —Tectone (15:46)
• Parodies of influencer sponsorships and over-the-top product placements.

---

4. Internet Oddities, Indian Memes, and Death by Stunt (18:12–20:31)

• Surprising Indian Internet stats: “Only 3% of Indians are outside India…only a third have Internet—yet they’re already scamming grandmas en masse.” —Tectone/Donut Operator (18:12–18:44)
• Joking darkly about viral videos of accidental deaths in India (“They are unburdened by what has been.” —Brandon Herrera, 19:17)
• The bizarre phenomenon of Indians attempting dangerous stunts for attention.

---

5. The Sykkuno Drama Breakdown (20:03–27:16)

(Main Theme & Most Cited Segment)

• Tectone provides a blow-by-blow of the “Sykkuno drama”:
  • Sykkuno, streamer in the “Offline TV” circle, allegedly in secret relationships with 13–16 VTubers while hiding a girlfriend. None knew about each other.
  • When discovered, accusations escalate—not just cheating but online accusers call him “a manipulative predator.”
  • “Literally so many false-accusing women coming out with the same story. They thought they’d ruin his career…but it ended up obliterating their credibility.” —Tectone (21:27)
  • One party tried to characterize harmless DMs (“crab” during game chat) as sexual harassment.
  • “Every single woman is getting relentlessly shit on, even though they got cheated on, because all started saying ‘yeah, he cheated, but now he’s a rapist.’” —Tectone (22:33)
• Brandon draws distinction:
  • “It’s not cheating that makes a predator; it’s the power dynamic, the coercion.” (22:47)
• Discussion on false accusations: Should accusers proven to lie face the same consequences as the accused? Group agrees penalties should be mirrored for demonstrated malicious intent.
  • “The false accusation meta has to stop. It’s just out of control.” —Tectone (27:16)
  • “If proven demonstrably that you made it up…you should get the penalty they were gonna get.” —Brandon Herrera (27:27)

---

6. Commentary on Outrage/Clipping Culture & Brand Management (34:59–38:54)

• “90% of leftist discourse is intentionally misunderstanding what you mean.” —Tectone (37:45)
• Discussion about how jokes among friends get “clipped” and spun as serious statements by online critics.
• Agreement: Never apologize to outrage mobs, it never helps (“You can never apologize, but they always try to pressure you into it.” —Tectone, 39:01)

---

7. Streamer Cancellations, Virtue Signaling, and Hasan Piker (39:08–57:04)

• Tectone lambasts the “virtue signal Olympics,” citing Valkyrae’s cancellation for saying “no cap on a stack, for real” (labeled AAVE appropriation).
  • “She went on stream and cried: ‘I can’t believe I appropriated y’all’s culture.’ It was pathetic.” —Tectone (39:39)
• Bemoaning “pronoun” and “identity” culture but noting the pendulum is swinging back.
• “I hope there’s no way we’re ever getting that retarded again.” —Tectone, on woke culture (40:45)

On Hasan Piker (54:33+):

• Tectone’s “call-out” explodes here:
  • Claims Hasan rails against “incel chuds,” brags about his own wealth and opportunity, but is “sexless, can’t have a kid, and can’t hold a relationship.”
  • Tectone says he publicly offered Hasan a boxing match (“I will give you half a million dollars if I lose, never stream again…He’s ducked me because he’s an absolute b***h.” —Tectone (60:03))
  • Hasan will “only fight people like XQC” and refuses any confrontation with skilled opponents.
  • Accuses Hasan of being a fraud: not believing his own talking points, just saying what will appeal to his deranged fanbase.

---

8. The Tenz & Kaide Tragedy — When Simps Break Bad (74:00–82:34)

• Manosphere & misogyny: The group discusses the split between Valorant streamers Tenz (world champ) and Kaide (who battled cancer).
• As Tenz takes a break from streaming to care for Kaide (even giving her his blood), she recovers, then leaves him for another streamer—immediately.
  • “What does a man have to do in 2026 to make a woman happy?” —Tectone (79:53)
• Reflection on modern relationships, statistical likelihood of staying together young, and the jadedness the story breeds.

---

9. Gun Mishaps, Kentucky Ballistics, Range Day Stories (83:02–91:10)

• Retelling of Kentucky Ballistics’ catastrophic 50-caliber rifle injury—nearly fatal, kept off the Internet until he could tell the story himself.
  • “Split his jugular…almost bled to death in front of his dad.” —Brandon Herrera (83:56)
• Other gun-related injuries, safety lessons, and jokes about “minorities” hired to test dangerous weapons for YouTube videos.
• The crew emphasizes safety, responsible content sharing, and supporting creators in recovery.

---

10. Pop Culture Gripes, Dubs vs. Subs, and Fandoms (41:58–50:01; 91:10–97:17)

• Debating race-swapping in games and shows (God of War, Invincible, Harry Potter, proposed MLK biopic with Ryan Gosling), and how it “demeans” original characters.
  • “You’re denigrating all the actually good black characters if you can’t write compelling ones and have to co-opt the white ones.” —Brandon Herrera (43:42)
• Lord of the Rings fandom and "director’s cut" marathon plans.
• Attack on Titan, anime watching habits, dubs vs. subs, and favorite shows. “I’ve watched One Piece twice.” —Tectone (93:02)

---

11. Content Creators, Clout, and Streaming Haters (64:38–67:46)

• On hate channels and “haters help your channel”:
  • “If they sh-t on you, that benefits your career, because those who hate them will pick up your side.” —Tectone (67:18)
• The interplay of positive/negative coverage, infighting vs. “other-side” hate, and the strange economy of controversy.

---

12. Law, Judges, Justice System Critique (108:04–111:26)

• Criticism that US justice system penalizes minor gun infractions more harshly than some sexual crimes.
• Revelation that judges often have no requirement to study law (“judicial immunity” means no real accountability).
  • “People don’t realize, a lot of cases get completely judged by how the judge feels that day.” —Tectone (109:23)

---

13. Creator Events, Simunition, and Battle Royale Ideas (117:51–126:24)

• Proposal and excited brainstorming of an “influencer Battle Royale” event using sim rounds and real guns (with conversions), or classic airsoft/gel ball guns.
  • “Why would you not do that? Get a couple drones, record, dope as f–k.” —Tectone (125:53)
• Recounting shoot-house competitions, the value of aggression, and humorous complaints about rules favoring female participants in school dodgeball.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

  "The false accusation meta has to stop. It's just got it out of control."

  —Tectone (22:33)
• On “clipping” outrage culture:
  "90% of leftist discourse is intentionally misunderstanding what you mean. And it works to a scary degree."
  —Tectone (37:45)
• On parental instincts triggered by video games:

  —Tectone (54:47)

  "You’re denigrating all the actually good black characters if you can’t make a compelling one so you have to co-opt the white one."
  —Brandon Herrera (43:42)

  "If they sh– on you, that benefits your career, because those who hate them will instantly have the inverse opinion—even if what they say is true."

Summary for New Listeners

If you’ve missed the episode, this was a high-energy, intensely online roundtable:

• Blowing the lid off streamer drama (Sykkuno accused of serial cheating, then exonerated by public opinion; Tectone challenges Hasan Piker’s hypocrisy and “sexless chud” status)
• Riffing on outrage culture, platform hypocrisy, and the perils of false accusations
• Reliving life and death moments in American gun YouTube, with firsthand stories
• Unfiltered (and sometimes uncouth) commentary on pop culture, race in media, fandoms, and modern relationships
• Planning (and lampooning) extravagant influencer events and recalling schoolyard rivalries

The crew’s humor is brash and the topics, vast—but if you thrive on spicy Internet banter, deep-dive streamer analysis, and unapologetic social critique, this is a can’t-miss episode.

[Donut Operator]

It was super fun, man. I know everyone when they get back, they're like, the food, incredible. 7 11's incredible. Everyone's nice. Super high trust society.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'd say 711 is incredible. 711 is fucking badass. I've never heard of about a Japanese 7 11.

[Donut Operator]

What's the 7 11's there? The food quality is like, good restaurants here. San Antonio, really?

[Brandon Herrera]

I.

[Donut Operator]

You know.

[Tectone]

Did you try the egg salad sandwich?

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, man.

[Tectone]

Is it that good?

[Donut Operator]

Like, all the. Everything there is good, dude.

[Eli Double Tap]

The chicken?

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. And they would just have grilled chicken breasts in little packets or season, pull them out and see the whole grilled chicken breast. Unlike 711 here, where you just get diabetes going there once, you know, Just going in.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, just.

[Donut Operator]

Just walking in the door.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Tectone]

So. So you were the minority there.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, man.

[Tectone]

How'd that feel?

[Donut Operator]

Me and black people.

[Tectone]

That two hours got longer, Brandon.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's like damage. What time's that just doing.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, like poison. Like radiation damage and fallout. New Vegas. Negative one.

[Tectone]

Negative one.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah,

[Eli Double Tap]

it was badass. So where'd you end up going? You stayed in Tokyo. Kyoto.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. Tokyo for three days or four days. And then we went to Kyoto for three days and went to all the temples Moody liked for our honeymoon. Walking four miles uphill every day.

[Tectone]

Do what?

[Brandon Herrera]

You put it on the. The checklist.

[Tectone]

It was a good time, though.

[Donut Operator]

I gotta see monkeys.

[Tectone]

You see the tentacle monster?

[Donut Operator]

Wait, what?

[Tectone]

The tentacle monster. Because you caught the hentai virus. Because now it's in America.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, oh, yeah, I forgot.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Q. Brain is blur.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Because that's in the US now. And they're claiming allegedly, it's like 50% mortality, which is what they claimed about COVID in the beginning.

[Tectone]

It's not real.

[Eli Double Tap]

What is it called?

[Tectone]

Hanata virus.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think Hanta. Hanta or Hanta.

[Eli Double Tap]

Or however, I will say the videos have been hilarious, where it's like that one guy's crying. He's like, we're people, dude. Da, da da. And we're scared and we don't know what to do. We just want to go home to our families. Open the comments, man, I feel for you, but you stay the on that.

[Tectone]

Yeah. Sink the ship. Bomb the ship. I'll be real, bro. Even if it does what it said it does. You think you're going to get Americans to like, what's, what's the word? Lock up for another. Oh, yeah, absolutely. No one's doing that shit.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's the boy that cried wolf. Like, even if we do have like a super deadly virus now, nobody's going to believe you because you lied so hard the first time.

[Tectone]

Yep. I have not felt the same after being tricked into triple vaccine in Canada. I fucking hate it. I've never felt the same since. It is awful. They in Canada, you couldn't get groceries unless you were vaccinated, which I feel is ridiculous. And then I move from Canada to Texas. Nobody's even wearing a mask. I'm like, wow, this is awesome. And then they ever leave America, then

[Brandon Herrera]

they'll say like, well, we didn't force you to get vaccinated. We just made it to where you couldn't be gainfully employed or buy food if you didn't.

[Tectone]

Yep.

[Brandon Herrera]

But you had a choice.

[Tectone]

Crazy.

[Donut Operator]

That one dude on the ship talking about, you know the one that was crying, you were just talking about incredibly gay. Oh, I was like, no, man, that's monkey pox.

[Brandon Herrera]

I have not seen this video.

[Tectone]

Oh yeah, the one guy who like broke the news about the Hanada hantavirus was like the gayest dude you could have ever imagined. So while he was bitching, like talking about, oh, we're all going to die, it was like so fruity. It's like, bro, I don't care. The world's biggest bitch to complain about this. I'm not taking it seriously.

[Eli Double Tap]

It was thousands of comments of.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's one of those. You see, you see it on Instagram. You're like, all right to the comments.

[Tectone]

Yeah, well, it's one of those things where it's like there was 150 people bought this boat. Right. Four of them had it. It spreads by human to human. Allegedly.

[Brandon Herrera]

Are we really gonna bring also like, physical contact?

[Tectone]

Yes. Are we really gonna bring it back to America? Like, if it was real, they would have nuked the boat. There's no way they would have risked every citizen in the United States. Over 150 people. I feel like I would hope they wouldn't risk everyone. So that's Why? I just don't believe it. There's just no way.

[Brandon Herrera]

I mean, I believe it exists, but

[Tectone]

it doesn't do what they say it does.

[Brandon Herrera]

I have no idea. Like, this is one of those things that just came across my feed. And, like, people have started to talk about it now at time of recording. Like, it's just now popped up. I'm just rolling my eyes thinking, like, not again. Come on.

[Eli Double Tap]

What's the 20 to 40%?

[Brandon Herrera]

What's the 50 is what they're saying.

[Tectone]

40% was the last time they said. But if it's up to 50 now. Jesus Christ. It's increasing. Yeah. 4% mortality, allegedly.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, do you remember the early days in Covid when Covid was only in China and they had all those videos where they were, like, taping up, like, locking up apartment buildings? There were dudes in full mop suits with MP5s going in. Dudes that were bleeding out of their eyes in the street. That's how they pitched it in the beginning. It was the fucking Resident Evil T virus apocalypse.

[Tectone]

Well, the other problem with big COVID virus was that if you had COVID virus and you died, they said it was because of COVID virus. You would get in a car accident with COVID and they say, oh, he died because of COVID It's like. Well, I don't know about that.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like comorbidities. It's like. It turns out half the comorbidities were. Well, he lost his head in a motorcycle wreck. Well, yeah, because I think the hospitals were getting paid for every Covid related death that they had. So they can follow the money on anything. Anyway, to Japan. Yay.

[Eli Double Tap]

Cody, you got us gifts.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

You got Brandon.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Brandon.

[Donut Operator]

Brandon only eats chick fil a and doesn't cook. So I got you the chef's plate.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, my God.

[Brandon Herrera]

Don't accuse me of things you know I do.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, Cody, I'm gonna give you the biggest hug.

[Tectone]

Oh, that's insane.

[Brandon Herrera]

Put the knife down first.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. These knives are handmade by the same dude.

[Eli Double Tap]

This is why you got it for me, right?

[Brandon Herrera]

I know. Holy. I know what must be done. It's sharp too.

[Donut Operator]

I shaved skin off my finger on accident with it.

[Tectone]

I'm not washing it.

[Brandon Herrera]

A piece of you is now within me.

[Tectone]

Dude.

[Eli Double Tap]

Thank you so much.

[Brandon Herrera]

That feels like a very.

[Tectone]

Appreciate that.

[Brandon Herrera]

A very thin sheath. Like, I know it's wax paper, but, like.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, that's just to transport it, right?

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

This isn't the actual sheath.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, just the way that you put it. I just. I was watching the way that you put it back on. I was like. I was shocked it didn't just split through.

[Eli Double Tap]

Probably can. Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

And this here we've got higa no kami.

[Donut Operator]

Konnichiwa.

[Brandon Herrera]

Ah, yeah.

[Tectone]

I don't know which.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was trying not to break this because it's so stiff to open, but, dude, this is fucking sharp. And Moody goes up to try to give me a hug, and I'm like, ah, please let me put this down because I feel like I'm gonna stab something. Because it was just after I shaved like a little section of hair off my forearm and it like took a bit of skin with it. It's sharp. Like I just exfoliated with this thing.

[Donut Operator]

They know what they're doing with their blades. It looks like.

[Tectone]

Oh,

[Eli Double Tap]

I cannot read this. God, that is terrifying. Okay there. I don't want to close it on my fingies.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, that'd be a bad idea.

[Eli Double Tap]

Thank you, Mr. Cody. We appreciate it, buddy. Thanks, man. Glad you had a good time.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, man, it was a good honeymoon

[Eli Double Tap]

and then we'll go back.

[Brandon Herrera]

How long did you. How long did you spend there?

[Donut Operator]

There's seven days total.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, wow.

[Donut Operator]

Plane ride was pretty cool too. Never done the first class thingy, especially internationally, where you have your own pod.

[Brandon Herrera]

You pick up like a bed and

[Donut Operator]

everything or so it wasn't like your own room, but you had. Each individual person in first class had a pod and you're. It's a normal seat, but then it reclines into a bed so you're just flat and you can lay down, watch tv.

[Tectone]

What's price range on that? Because I was looking at flights like the other day, it was like 300 for. For economy, 1300 business class. And what is your own pod?

[Donut Operator]

It was pretty expensive, man.

[Tectone]

Don't want to say.

[Donut Operator]

No, no, I don't want to say.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's a honeymoon.

[Donut Operator]

It was a honeymoon. I spent a lot of money on that.

[Eli Double Tap]

It is first classes. Actual first class is a big difference from like what we're.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Dude, it's like you have a shower and.

[Tectone]

See, that sounds so awesome because I'm gonna do that tonight. I. I want to do that, but I'm wondering like, how much that shit gonna hurt.

[Brandon Herrera]

It also feels like a necessity if you're traveling for like, you know, some of those are like 12 hours. Yeah, that's what that was.

[Donut Operator]

It was 13 hours.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Free drinks.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

I didn't know if they had the bar in the back.

[Tectone]

What airline?

[Donut Operator]

This was Delta.

[Tectone]

Delta. Okay, I'll have to look that up.

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay, we'll go back next. When do we go to Japan?

[Donut Operator]

I don't know. We all. We need to do a gang does episode there.

[Brandon Herrera]

Are you allow. Are you allowed two people to one pod or are they just kind of weird about that?

[Donut Operator]

It was one. Like, it's only big enough for one.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, okay. Got it.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

And that would be kind of weird if you're, like, you're traveling with, like, for example, your significant other and you're, like, not allowed to see each other.

[Tectone]

Yeah. There's a.

[Donut Operator]

There's a little sliding window, right?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

So I close that. I didn't want to look at her.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, I'm not playing the world's most expensive glory hole.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's a giant square. She opens a dick.

[Tectone]

I got into the mile high club. She did it. Oh, yeah. They give you a blanket.

[Donut Operator]

It was super easy.

[Eli Double Tap]

A blanket. Cute families making macaroni cheese under that blanket.

[Tectone]

Oh, that's so gross.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, Cody was playing solo, not co op.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Tectone]

Well, we're glad you're back, buddy.

[Eli Double Tap]

And then Mr. Tech, you went. What have all you been into lately? You haven't been.

[Tectone]

Oh, dude, the streamer world has been insane. It's been awesome. It's been so nice. I'm on Rumble now. Rumble's the. It's the best platform for Americans. So I've been streaming aside from Pepper Box. Absolutely. But no Rumble's been dealt.

[Brandon Herrera]

I could never get used to the ui. Like, the UI on Rumble, I think, needs a lot of work.

[Tectone]

Really? What was the last time you try streaming on there?

[Brandon Herrera]

I never tried to stream on it. Okay, so just. Just from a consumer to somebody who's watching content.

[Tectone]

Yeah. I mean, there's some issues with, like, the mobile platform, but on PC it's very good. There's still some bugs to fix out, but, like, it's like, as far as, like, making money isn't. And I want to make it very clear, as a American streamer, it is the best platform. You just get hella free ads. They, like, run almost no ads in their platform.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's nice because I like what they

[Brandon Herrera]

try to do because, like, they are, like, a bastion for, like, the. The more silenced, you know, especially conservative voices.

[Tectone]

Yeah, I do videos on YouTube and then streaming on Rumble, and, man, I just feel untouchable because, like, just nobody gives a twitch.

[Eli Double Tap]

You just gave up on the fuck Twitch.

[Tectone]

Absolutely not. There's no reason to stream that platform. It's garbage. They treat every creator like a Absolute. It's like if you. If so, you can't talk about politics. You know, politics is taboo unless you're saying the right politics. You know, if you say, you know, fuck ice, Donald Trump. Transgenders aren't mentally ill. Oh, you're fine. That's absolutely fine. But if you say the inverse, then all of a sudden you get banned for everything. You're walking on thin ice nonstop. The CEO is a retard. He's using that platform to jerk off to these fucking OnlyFans chicks. Like, censor that word out. I don't want to. Sorry. I don't want to mention that stripper's name. But yeah, yeah, it's a. It's a disgusting platform.

[Brandon Herrera]

Knows you could just do that for free, right?

[Tectone]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

You don't have to tank a very expensive platform to do it.

[Tectone]

Yeah, but the thing is, though, is,

[Brandon Herrera]

like, people are weir85 on eBay.

[Tectone]

That's a lot less than I thought.

[Brandon Herrera]

Nice.

[Eli Double Tap]

Is it sealed?

[Brandon Herrera]

No, it's.

[Tectone]

But, but. But it's like, if I'm getting a collectible, I'm getting a collectible.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, I wouldn't want it sealed because

[Tectone]

I want to hear the line with that same logic. It's like, oh, yo, it's free. Oh, it is. But there's a reason why people pay, like, thousands and millions of dollars to go see Sophia Rain on Only Fans.

[Brandon Herrera]

To be honest, I've never understood that.

[Tectone]

Okay, I really. I can explain it to you.

[Brandon Herrera]

Okay. Are you a subject matter expert?

[Tectone]

It's actually very simple. So there are people who have sex for sex, and then there are people who have sex because they love the person. Right. Parasocialism is what drives OnlyFans. And they feel like they know that person, and that's what makes them come.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, cause that's. And they have all the. Like, the chat service. I have heard about that, where, like, they'll do the chats and shit, which is funny because most of the time, it's like a fucking Indian guy all the time. Yeah. I don't know. I don't think I know a single. Well, I don't really hang out with OnlyFans models, but, like, I don't think I know of a single one that actually does the wrong.

[Eli Double Tap]

Hey, do you know what's better than anything, brother? Homemade cooking.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, God, Eli, are we doing this bit again?

[Eli Double Tap]

Yes, we are.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm not doing the macho man bit. I've got hello Fresh for three minutes.

[Tectone]

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

[Tectone]

You want to know a horrifying statistic that was just publicized? This is crazy. I found this out the other day. This was two days ago. This was actually put out. Did you know that the only 3% of Indians are outside of India? Look that up.

[Donut Operator]

So we've literally only been around 3%.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, I saw the one where they said, like, only crazy. Only like a third of India has Internet right now.

[Tectone]

That's nuts.

[Eli Double Tap]

What?

[Brandon Herrera]

Like we're experiencing a third of India

[Tectone]

a fraction of their power and they're already scamming our grandma and grandpas en masse.

[Donut Operator]

I think we were talking about them on the last one. All the. The drownings and pools that are like six inches deep. That happened last. Last week or something.

[Brandon Herrera]

They were everywhere. Okay, well, as. As of early 2026, over 70% of India has Internet access.

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay, I want to know. With the drowning.

[Donut Operator]

I saw at least three videos of water this deep and them diving into it and hitting their head and then laying their face down floating in the water. And all their friends are centered around.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah,

[Tectone]

Look at how crazy he is.

[Brandon Herrera]

They are unburdened by what has been.

[Tectone]

Yeah, another Indian epidemic on Twitter has been crazy, bro. They're all just kidding themselves. And it's like, for what? Accidental.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't understand. The train thing.

[Tectone]

Yes, the train.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's not unpredictable. I know they're. You know where they're gonna be.

[Eli Double Tap]

Isn't there, like.

[Tectone]

No, they're too quiet. Really bad.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yes. Noticeably incognito. Very silent, very small and hidden.

[Eli Double Tap]

I swear there's a thing going on. You just. Indians like failing backflips. Like, they purposely land on their neck.

[Donut Operator]

I don't think they do it on

[Tectone]

purpose

[Donut Operator]

because that's how they try to impress women.

[Tectone]

Have you guys ever played among us

[Brandon Herrera]

when it was like, peak infancy? So, I mean, I'm like a day.

[Tectone]

I'm on the Internet nonstop. Like, I love talking about how shitty streamers are. It's my favorite thing. But there was this guy who played among us in real life, and his name is Saikuno. And what Sykkuno did was. Is while he had a girlfriend that I want to remind you, he was in this organization called Offline tv, you know, with pokimane, disguise toast. All of them, none of them knew he had a girlfriend. None of them. And while he had a girlfriend, he was. And inside of, I believe, 13 to 16 different VTubers, all at the same time, none of them knew about it.

[Brandon Herrera]

VTubers.

[Tectone]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

So half of them are probably dudes, you would think.

[Tectone]

All men, I think. Well, I mean, I'm pretty sure I'd actually never consider that there's a chance they could be a dude. Pretty sure they're all guys. But it was hilarious because they dropped a Google Doc on Sykkuno. Some of these videos found out that they were being played at the same time. So they decided to call him a lying, manipulative, cheating predator. And the Internet really took offense to that word predator because they were attempting to imply that he was a file just because he cheated. And so over this process, which is like, cheating bad. Exactly.

[Brandon Herrera]

But it's not, you know.

[Tectone]

Exactly. And so because these women who want to push these false accusations all win at Saikkuno, this guy who fucked 13 women at the same time became redeemable. And now everybody's rooting for this guy to come back to streaming, saying, we don't give a fuck about the cheating because we know you're not a race. We know you're not a pedophile, bro. Because I want to remind you, one of these women said I was a former minor when we started talking non sexual. Hold on.

[Donut Operator]

Whoa.

[Brandon Herrera]

Everybody's a former minor.

[Eli Double Tap]

I know.

[Tectone]

I was a former minor. And they were literally like their DMs. They said, I can't believe Sykkuno was trying to slide in on me. And all it is is when this chick was 17 was sykkuno typing crab in all caps. Because they were playing the game crab game. And that was being considered sexual harassment. There was literally so many false accusing women coming out at the exact same time cooperating the exact same story. And they thought they would ruin his career because they got this big content creator called Mujin. Over a million subscribers, you know, like 1.5 million views. Every single video to cooperate the same story. But it ended up completely obliterating his credibility as a content creator. Every single woman is getting relentlessly shit on even though they got cheated on on because all of them were saying, yes, he cheated on us, but actually we're gonna go even further and call him a rap. So then the girlfriend.

[Brandon Herrera]

So the distinction that I make on that too is like, for example, like my former opponent, like Tony.

[Tectone]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like we. What made him a predator was not the fact that he cheated on his wife. He cheated on his wife serially.

[Tectone]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Which we knew that for. For a while. But what made him a predator was that he was doing it to subordinates and staff.

[Tectone]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Who were in a position like it was position of power. They couldn't say no. And he had like a record of doing that. There was multiple that came forward with like after saying no, no, boss, this is too far.

[Tectone]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

No. And then he kept pushing it. And then eventually forced sexual relationship.

[Tectone]

These women in totality all made the first move. Every single one of them reached out to him first. Even so much.

[Brandon Herrera]

So why does he have so much game? He's a fucking Among Us streamer.

[Tectone]

Well, it's because he's been described as an in real life anime boy.

[Brandon Herrera]

What the does that mean?

[Tectone]

So he. So he's a little ace. So you went to Japan, you know the Asian culture and how they go like they put their hands in front of their faces and they like they giggle because they don't want to show their teeth because they're shy. So he had like all of like the Japanese mannerisms. And so I would love that. Yes.

[Donut Operator]

I did notice that Japanese girls liked dudes who look like girls.

[Tectone]

Yes.

[Donut Operator]

That not exactly feminine, but like you're

[Brandon Herrera]

saying like a real life anime.

[Tectone]

Yes. And so all of these people were down bad for Saikunos. I can only assume monster cocktail because I mean, man, he was. He was slinging and he was slinging and dealing. He was coming. And then what's crazy is even.

[Brandon Herrera]

Is the coming like an extraneous detail or like.

[Tectone]

No, it's very.

[Brandon Herrera]

Do we know? Okay, okay.

[Tectone]

It is real. Because they were like.

[Brandon Herrera]

You seem very hung up on that. I was curious if that was.

[Tectone]

Oh, no, because this, this one girl went like into so graphic detail about like, how came.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, wow.

[Tectone]

Yeah. I was like, oh, he like came in my mouth and then he came in inside me and it's like, bro, that's. Yeah, that's. You started the sex. You can't change your mind three years after the sex. I don't know why people think they can say, well, it's been three years, so I'm going to go ahead and call it now. But like that just. That's just not a thing you can fucking do. Even if it's like, oh, well, I thought he was single. It doesn't make it regardless. Then they went after the girlfriend and the girlfriend had psy kuno's back and said, actually fuck all y' all for making our relationships public. Syno's the best. I'm staying with them and leave us the alone.

[Brandon Herrera]

So my favorite part was the. We were talking about this a little bit earlier. You brought it up. She's like, well, we're gonna work through this together. I'm like, what, all 15 of you? Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

So seems like way too much work.

[Tectone]

Oh, dude, that's what I thought too.

[Brandon Herrera]

Right?

[Eli Double Tap]

That's a young man's game.

[Tectone]

Way too much.

[Brandon Herrera]

One woman is a lot of work and that's fine. Like you got to put work into a relationship. Thirteen is absurd.

[Tectone]

Insane.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's a full. That's like eight full time jobs.

[Tectone]

Yes. And like he would even like section out time to like play valorant with them separately. And then he would go to TwitchCon Paris for a TFT tournament and he had eight hour blocks to go from girl to girl to girl. Oh, and he had this one autistic one where. This is so funny.

[Eli Double Tap]

I gotta go, babe. I'm getting a little tired.

[Donut Operator]

He's gumping it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Jesus Christ.

[Tectone]

I've never heard it called gump. You've never heard I know what love is.

[Eli Double Tap]

Brianton,

[Brandon Herrera]

It's. Who is that? That streamer guy, Wubby Father.

[Tectone]

Oh, you remember that one? No Father.

[Brandon Herrera]

Are you familiar with the term gumping it?

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, no, no, I got it.

[Donut Operator]

Long story short, your ass in the freezer. That one.

[Tectone]

Jesus but there was this legendary one that was like very like intense and hyper invested into him. So because she's autistic, he's like, how the fuck do I keep this chick entertained while I go bang some other slots? So he bought her like a hello Kitty puzzle. Wait, to go to other women. It was awesome. It was so good.

[Brandon Herrera]

That shit's like. That's like throwing out like the monkeys and zombies. The fact that it worked.

[Tectone]

I know.

[Brandon Herrera]

I got this story is incredible.

[Tectone]

Oh, yeah. No, I mean, it was awesome. Yeah. And like, obviously, obviously for cheating, you know, that's. That sucks. That's right. Yeah. Shittiest. But also like, fuck women who falsely accuse men. Pause. There's no moral. Yeah, but it's like you. You can't. The false accusation meta has to stop. It's the same thing with assassination culture. It's just got it out of control.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, I think that a lot of that can go away once you start instituting similar penalties where like, if you. If you accuse somebody of something with the intent of again locking them up, ruining their life.

[Tectone]

Absolutely.

[Brandon Herrera]

And it is proven demonstrably that you made it up to try to ruin that person's life, you should get the penalty they were going to get.

[Tectone]

I absolutely agree.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, that's how you stop it.

[Tectone]

It's just proving that is so difficult.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's hard that. Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Which is the possibility that they could, I think would be a big de. Incentivization.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, and also the scramble worth the flip side. It's a hard one because then you have that one lady like, like 10 or 20 years later that came out and she's like, it was a lie. And then nothing happened to her. And the guy finally got out of prison after 10, 20 years.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

He's like, well, it sucks because he lost his. He was a D1 college football player. He was supposed to get picked and gone.

[Tectone]

What company.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was gonna say. I very confidently said disincentivization.

[Tectone]

Oh, yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's a real word. Like, that's. That's gotta be like the. Yeah, it adds up. This has been a topic of some debate. I have a tendency to George Bushworlds occasionally.

[Tectone]

Oh, that's okay.

[Tectone]

What about black Beater also? These sweatpants are also torn. And then I'm not. Oh my God.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like they're not like ripped.

[Tectone]

They're completely torn.

[Brandon Herrera]

Torn open.

[Tectone]

Yeah. Then I was wearing a sandals.

[Brandon Herrera]

Nice cocktail.

[Tectone]

Thank you. I appreciate that. No, I was legit. Just like I'm underdress. I'm gonna go to men's warehouse real quick. Let me grab some. Yeah, I got. I gotta dress.

[Brandon Herrera]

The bar said the peak lapels. Good choice.

[Tectone]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Plus like I haven't worked out that hard like the past week, so I'm feeling like. I think I text. I texted, I texted somebody. I feel like a fat sexless Chad.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Tectone]

Yeah. But it's been good. Yeah, the Saikuno drum has been dope, dude.

[Eli Double Tap]

There's just that is all streaming is now. It just seems. It's like drama circles on top of drama.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't want to be involved in it.

[Tectone]

Yeah, it's worse than drama. It's. It's crimes. Now, did y' all heard about David?

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, David the David the singer?

[Tectone]

The singer songwriter was like best friends with Pokemon and Jason. The Wayne.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, never.

[Tectone]

Yeah, he took a girl. Oh, this is about to get dark. Let's talk about this very quickly.

[Brandon Herrera]

Who's that?

[Eli Double Tap]

Wait, David is a singer.

[Brandon Herrera]

Huge rapper.

[Donut Operator]

It looks like his name looks like D4.

[Tectone]

Yeah. T4VD.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, D4VD.

[Tectone]

Huge rapper. Was. This is already confirmed. Already confirmed that he was. And assaulting a 12 year old girl.

[Brandon Herrera]

Jesus.

[Tectone]

Until she was 15. Then he broke up with her. So she was going to tell the authorities. And so he takes her to his garage, puts her in a pool, chops her up with the chainsaw.

[Brandon Herrera]

What the.

[Tectone]

Keeps her deceased remains in his trunk of his car for four months until he gets called Tesla. Yes. Yeah, yeah. Insane.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's.

[Tectone]

It's like how the is this happening? And bro, it's.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, now I know which one you're talking about. It was that Tesla because they. How did they find that it was an abandoned Tesla? Or they. Somebody opened it and like. Oh, my body's been in here for four months.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, it was his Tesla.

[Tectone]

Yeah, that's what I Love.

[Brandon Herrera]

I go to this guy up and the. Is it about Fortnite D4VD and it just like, shows up, like, songs, albums, murder. No mention of why I'm googling. Yeah, that. I feel like that would be a highlight.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Tectone]

No, it's been crazy.

[Brandon Herrera]

Houston, Texas.

[Eli Double Tap]

Ooh, wait, he's in Houston?

[Tectone]

Yeah. And there was like, hella streamers vouching for him. Like, there's no way he could have done this. And then people were going after the streamers who vouching. But it's also like, you gotta. You gotta understand.

[Eli Double Tap]

They had him on livestream with that girl, though, right? Yeah, that was one of the big things. It's like, actually, here was this. She's 14.

[Tectone]

Yeah, 14. 15 upon time of death. And then.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, he was Celeste Hernandez.

[Tectone]

Yeah. He was writing songs like he was subtweeting her in songs, like, talking about her before he killed her. And it's all because, like, many streamers are, like, getting shit on for being friends with them. I think friend Aoe is so gay. I think it's so ridiculous when, like, one of your homies does some crazy that nobody could have possibly known about, and they say, well, actually, it's your fault as well. I mean, that's just.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's fucking wild. Like, I would have never. Well, I've never met the fuck guy. But like, if. If we were to find out you had like 13 bodies in your baseball. Turns out good. That's better than 13, objectively. It's like when you're hanging out. He didn't mention the crime. Like, you know, that's sort of like.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, the house smelled weird. So does everyone. Yeah. Oh, that's why we put on the lotion every time.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. I just have a. A CD player playing the. The Halloween screaming in my basement.

[Donut Operator]

That's.

[Eli Double Tap]

That makes sense.

[Brandon Herrera]

Ambiance.

[Tectone]

But I feel like we too often right now are moving to a culture where when somebody does. Referring back to Saikuno. When somebody does one thing that is bad, then everything they've ever done is bad. And now they're also the worst human being on earth. I think if we were to actually say, this is what this guy did. This is what was proven that he did. This is like the horror proof that he did this. Let's focus on that instead of making. Making up other shit. People would actually take this shit seriously. But we're not doing that. It's like, for example, Hitler. Hitler. Awful guy. But I'm not gonna say he was a bad painter. Right. Because that's just a lie, right? His artwork is crazy, right? But let's just focus on the dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

There's somebody right now that is just sitting there waiting on the clip button.

[Eli Double Tap]

Go on, Brandon.

[Tectone]

Say you own the painting too.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, right. That was my favorite part of that whole. It was the act man podcast or, like, congressional candidate admits to owning a copy of Mein Kampf. I'm like, in the same sentence that I owned. I said I owned a copy of Das Kapital and the Communist Manifesto. And then we proceeded to talk for five minutes.

[Eli Double Tap]

Why?

[Brandon Herrera]

Mein Kampf is like just shit. Complete dog shit that like, just completely just dances all over the fucking place.

[Eli Double Tap]

Zebiotics is a surefire way to wake up feeling refreshed after a long night with the friends. Zebiotics Pre Alcohol Probiotic is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. Probiotic. Probiotic. I got the word right. You want to know how it works? Magic. Finn put up magic. It's like an elixir or a zinzo bean. When you drink, the alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct. It's great for the liver. And it is a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration, that leads to that terrible feeling the next day.

[Tectone]

Have you seen the. The Hitler to Mr. Beast pipeline?

[Brandon Herrera]

What?

[Tectone]

Oh, that's crazy, bro. Like, if you go back. Sorry. If you. Sorry. If you go back, there's this whole video on. It's like, four minutes long. It's very quick. But, like, understand that Hitler's teaching is how Mr. Beast became, like, the largest content creator,

[Brandon Herrera]

because you're going to have to connect those dots.

[Tectone]

So, like, Mr. Soviet Hitler and mein golf was like, you need to talk to people. Like, you know, they're idiots. Because the majority of humanity is. And so, like, that is what. That is what Mr. Beast is content curated to his lowest common denominator of absolute retards. I love Mr. Beast content, by the way. The Jew part.

[Eli Double Tap]

And it's great.

[Tectone]

The ju part, YouTube tips and tricks.

[Brandon Herrera]

God, I. That's. If, if that's where you're insinuating Mr. Beast is going to go, then this is going to get wild and sponsored by Amazon Prime.

[Tectone]

Imagine the video though, I recreated. Never mind.

[Brandon Herrera]

Last person to. No, it's not even gonna go there.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, man, that record button, dude, I'm

[Brandon Herrera]

like, I'm like the meme of the kid in class with like a vein popping out. There's so many jokes I want to make.

[Tectone]

Yeah, you can't do that anymore, huh?

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, I can.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. It's just with. Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Within reason, they will intentionally, like, they will know the difference between when I'm kidding, what I actually mean, and they will intentionally pretend like they don't. To try to clip something to get a headline and to get clicks. It is the most, it's the most cynical dog shit. Because like, this is what they accuse me of doing. Like, oh, he's doing this for clicks. It's like, mother, that is exactly what you're doing.

[Tectone]

Yes.

[Eli Double Tap]

Can you talk about any of that with even the article? They're like, hey, we want to write this. Can you respond?

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, that's just how articles work in general. Basically. They'll look.

[Eli Double Tap]

But it's what you're saying with obvious jokes, glaring, just sarcasm, whatever it is. And then they're turning it into. This is an actual factual statement that Brandon made in all seriousness.

[Brandon Herrera]

And it's, it's the, the, the joke that we make all the time, like, oh, that don't look good on paper. But like legitimately, like it's, it's around with your boys, which is what we do here. And they'll clip it. And anybody who had access to that video, seeing all the context before and after that 4 second snippet, knows the context. It's literally impossible to clip that without seeing the context. That makes it very clear that, you know, oh, it was a joke or it was this, or like, he doesn't mean this, but they'll do it intentionally just so they can get that just on paper saying, well, can you believe this is what this guy thinks? Well, that's dog shit. I don't, I don't think most people fall for it anymore because it's so obvious.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's the scary Thing, it's. If they're still doing it, it's working to enough degree where it's viable. Like, hey, we make our money with.

[Tectone]

Oh, they definitely are falling for it. I mean, that was. There was a big quote. Unlike online, where it's like 90% of leftist discourse is intentionally misunderstanding what you mean. And it works to a scary degree. It's actually horrifying because they have the

[Brandon Herrera]

money to push it, is the problem.

[Tectone]

Yes. Yeah. And, like, that's why I've completely given up on, like, ever trying to be brand friendly or PR friendly because it's impossible when we live in a world that does not want to understand you and they want you to be exactly who they think you are without any proof whatsoever. Just because they have that feeling, there's no reason anymore to be, like, to try and be squeaky clean, to try and be brand friendly, because the moment someone decides you're a bad guy, there's no change in that. And then it will snowball out of control.

[Brandon Herrera]

And not only that, I think the worst thing I could do is just try to back away. Like, oh, well, that's my past. And, you know, this, this, this, whatever. It's like, no, I was joking then, I'm joking now. There's a very. When I'm being serious to camera, I'm very serious. You know, there's a time and a place. There's a difference between the way you talk with your boys in a garage and the way you talk in church or your grandma or something like that. The worst thing you could do is double down and Apollo or excuse me, not double down and, like, try to apologize and backpedal. It's like, no, fuck it, I stand by it. I was joking around. I had a good time.

[Eli Double Tap]

Has it ever worked to apologize? I've never seen it actually working. Like, 0% of the time it works in the favor of that person.

[Tectone]

You can never apologize, but they always

[Brandon Herrera]

try to pressure you into it. This is the way to do. You just. You have to apologize because that's how they get victory.

[Tectone]

Yes. Well, it's like, you guys know Valkyrie Ray. I'm sure Hasan's girlfriend. Or, sorry, Hasan's ex girlfriend.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, I have no idea.

[Tectone]

Oh, okay.

[Eli Double Tap]

You're talking about sorry. The boys were like, we are.

[Brandon Herrera]

We are not in your bubble.

[Eli Double Tap]

So it sounds like you should get out of that world.

[Tectone]

Yeah, no, I love it.

[Eli Double Tap]

Make that bag, though, babe.

[Tectone]

There is nothing more than I love than being in this world. It's so much fun for me. But, you know so she's like another version of Pokimane. Pokimane Light Hasan's ex girlfriend. She said no cap on a stack. For real?

[Donut Operator]

For real.

[Tectone]

And then she got canceled because that's aave, which, in case you don't know, is African American vernacular. And she's not allowed to say that because she's not black. So she went on stream and she cried, saying, I can't believe I appropriated Yalls culture. I will never say that ever again. I can't believe I was so racist to my black community. It was pathetic. It was pathetic.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, it's a race to. Who can signal the most virtue.

[Tectone]

Yes. How would you care?

[Eli Double Tap]

Why would you want that audience? Why would you want anyone that's like,

[Brandon Herrera]

hey, what can you say?

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, you're just in a tight little box. You're like, I don't.

[Tectone]

Well, I want to remind you that for about six years, we were beginning comp. Not us, other people were saying, so what should I call you? What are your pronouns? Are you, ze, zer, are you wolf, wolf, self, they, they, self. I mean, that's where we win as a society.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's why I would my brains out in corporate America. I feel like we've. We've gone back away from that, though.

[Tectone]

We have, absolutely.

[Brandon Herrera]

We absolutely have, like, that pendulum swinging

[Eli Double Tap]

back, which means it's going to come back around too.

[Tectone]

And I don't think so.

[Eli Double Tap]

Six to.

[Brandon Herrera]

I would like to think that was a high watermark.

[Tectone]

I hope there's no way we're ever getting that retarded again. There's just no way.

[Eli Double Tap]

I mean, but then you look at. Look how movies are still being implemented or what storylines are being pushed out, directing, like, narratives are still being pushed that way where it's like, oh, we got to still adapt that culture and bring in. There is that hard line. It's like, no, that's. That's not proper. That's mean. That's.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think you're starting to see it a little bit with things like Star wars where they're realizing, like, dude, we're losing a fuckload of money.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's just not financially viable. I mean, that's why it's important to vote with your dollar.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

If people are pushing shit I don't like, you know, I'm not gonna flip shit over it, but I'm just not gonna watch it. Like, I feel like that's the best way to go about it.

[Tectone]

I don't know, bro. I was pissed. I was playing God of War 2018. Insane game. Amazing. And then they made.

[Eli Double Tap]

I haven't beat it yet. So I'm just.

[Brandon Herrera]

2020.

[Tectone]

You haven't beat the second one or the first. Oh, I'm not gonna. I'm just gonna say. Okay, I'll be vague. One of my favorite games of all time. God of War 2018. Incredible. In my top 10. Then I played Ragnarok and. Oh, dude, they do this thing where there's this fucking character and they make this character a love interest and they're white in the lore and then they make them black and it's like, can we stop doing this? It drives me insane.

[Brandon Herrera]

I didn't realize how bad invincible was with that.

[Tectone]

Oh my God.

[Brandon Herrera]

They. They race swapped the. Out of a ton of people.

[Tectone]

Amber was white, made her black. They made a random vite black. And it's never black to white. Harry Potter, Snape. Made in black.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, that's why we're going to get Ryan Gosling playing mlk, right?

[Tectone]

Yeah, that'd be sick.

[Donut Operator]

So new and Homer's Odyssey or whatever it is.

[Eli Double Tap]

Odyssey.

[Brandon Herrera]

What is that? So that Christopher Nolan is directing a movie that based on like the. The old. You know, the.

[Eli Double Tap]

Troy.

[Tectone]

Yeah. Yeah, that's sick. Okay. Hell yeah.

[Donut Operator]

You know, like Troy the movie Troy. Brad Pitts is jacked.

[Eli Double Tap]

Achilles.

[Donut Operator]

He's badass.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

Ellen Page is going to be Achilles in this. Coming.

[Tectone]

I need to google Ellen Page.

[Donut Operator]

It's the play Juno turned into a boy. Cut her tits off.

[Tectone]

Oh, God.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. You know what I'm talking about.

[Tectone]

That. Okay. No, no.

[Eli Double Tap]

Who the last of us was originally based off of that character.

[Tectone]

Okay. Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's not confirmed that. I. I don't think it is anyway that she's gonna be playing Achilles.

[Eli Double Tap]

I thought it was Achilles Ghost. I don't know.

[Tectone]

Yeah, I know that thing.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Tectone]

Yeah. Stupid as his ghost.

[Eli Double Tap]

Now I'm like confused.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't know. They haven't said the role to my knowledge.

[Donut Operator]

It was being. It just that went viral that that's what was happening last week.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't.

[Donut Operator]

People weren't treating it like a joke, but I don't know. It's crazy.

[Tectone]

The worst issue is that there's a non zero chance that actually happens and that I think that's what's worrisome to people. But it's not that we have an issue with black people. It's just that we just want the characters to look like the fucking characters

[Brandon Herrera]

in the show and legitimately. Like. I've heard people make this argument too. It's like you're actually demeaning black characters. Characters.

[Tectone]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

If you're implying that you can't make a compelling one on your own so you have to co op the white one. It's like you're. You're denigrating all the actually good black characters.

[Tectone]

Yes, I absolutely agree.

[Eli Double Tap]

I mean, what's Black Panther? That's like its own series with character, Everything. It's. There's a cohesive story.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like, oh, we're just gonna swap or do anything. It's the row during the ride of Rohan the Whato. You won't know it. The third heard Lord of the Rings, Return of the King.

[Tectone]

Yeah, see.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, never mind.

[Eli Double Tap]

I wouldn't know that. Half of the writers were females apparently, but they just had them dressed up as men because it was during that time period that just went viral last week too. And people were pissed that they allowed. They made the females dress as males for their roles. They're like, no, they should have just been females and been strong warrior females during that time. Comments like, Yo, R.R. tolkien just like. Or Tolkien wrote this way for a reason.

[Tectone]

Yes.

[Eli Double Tap]

Stops.

[Tectone]

I didn't know that.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yep, that one just came out.

[Tectone]

That's the greatest trilogy of all time. So good.

[Brandon Herrera]

We need to sit down and watch that eventually.

[Tectone]

We talked about seen it.

[Brandon Herrera]

So I. The way I describe it, like, I've seen. I've seen one of the movies all the way through, but like I. The rest I've seen like 20 minutes and 30 minutes here.

[Tectone]

You said, you said you've seen one of them. You don't even know which one it is.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think it was Return of the King.

[Eli Double Tap]

You know this, right?

[Tectone]

You watch Return of the King first.

[Brandon Herrera]

You've never seen Lord of the Rings.

[Eli Double Tap]

This is your roommate.

[Brandon Herrera]

Seriously? You didn't know that? You've never seen Lord of the Rings? I've seen them all like through like 20 minutes, 30 minutes here on like TNT on a Thanksgiving Day or some fucking Christ.

[Tectone]

That's like the Christmas story to him.

[Brandon Herrera]

I want, I want to watch. Yeah, I want. I want to watch them. I just never dedicated the 12 hours to sit down and do it.

[Tectone]

It's not 12 hours. Let's watch the director's cut. Which everybody should. Oh, man. That's because, like, I'm glaze you a little bit. You are like one of like the most manliest men. Just oozing sexual energy. Huge.

[Brandon Herrera]

You got my walking, talking ego check over here.

[Tectone]

This guy actually sucks. It's like you will resonate with this movie so much, it's incredible.

[Brandon Herrera]

I know like everything I've seen. Like, I also don't get into like fantasy too much. Like that's not really my thing.

[Tectone]

Did you like Star Wars?

[Eli Double Tap]

No.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, that's fantasy sci fi finish. That's like just straight up sci fi. Like I like sci fi shit, but like, I don't know. That was never my thing. Like Game of Thrones is probably the farthest in fantasy I've ever got.

[Tectone]

It will be your thing once you watch it though. There's no way to watch. Yes. Oh my God.

[Brandon Herrera]

Here's what spoiled it for me. Here's what spoiled it for me. My introduction to Lord of the Rings. Like actually sitting down and watching a whole ass fucking movie.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Was going to see the Hobbit in theaters. What the. Yeah, I watched the Hobbit in theaters and was like on my phone halfway through. I fucking hated it.

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay, we're gonna rent a movie theater. We've talked about this.

[Tectone]

Yeah, we're gonna do it for his

[Donut Operator]

birthday last year, but they wouldn't because I called him and tried to get it hooked up but they couldn't get the first Lord of the Rings for us. We're gonna rent the Palladium out and everyone just got some way sick as drink and watch the first Lord of the Rings.

[Brandon Herrera]

It feels, it's. It's in that weird gray area where it's not like Star wars where I don't know if like, if you didn't watch it as a 12 year old.

[Donut Operator]

I don't know.

[Tectone]

But those movies. No, it's good, it's good.

[Brandon Herrera]

I got time later.

[Tectone]

You got 12 hours. I've taken so many people's like first time watching Lord of the Rings and they're always like, why the did I never watch?

[Brandon Herrera]

You're Tolkien, Cherry.

[Eli Double Tap]

This is mine.

[Tectone]

I'm taking their Lord of the Rings. I think Hobbit's great. I enjoyed them, but I love that series so much. I think it's absolutely fine. The fight of desolation of smog was mid. Everything else I loved.

[Eli Double Tap]

I. I'm just excited to watch that in the movie theater because I got to watch it originally at the movie theater this time again. And I want to watch number two,

[Brandon Herrera]

Battle of Helms Deep.

[Eli Double Tap]

Exactly.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, well, I just want. I want one thing we can then write it all off is right when Aragon's about to kick the helmet, the entire theater turns and looks at Brandon like we paused the movie on the screen.

[Tectone]

Did you.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're all doing the soy Jack.

[Eli Double Tap]

Everyone at the same time is saying that, like, cool. And then play.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's the one thing. Gary. Always with me. Nerd Roddick.

[Tectone]

Oh, yeah. Good dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, great dude. Like, fantastic. He came and actually introduced. Introduced me at our event with Paxton the other day.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

But he. Anytime. I'll post something on Twitter, he's like, yeah, this is great and all, but you've never seen Lord of the Rings.

[Tectone]

Yeah, yeah, I met him, like, a couple weeks ago. We got burgers. It was great. Very nice guy.

[Brandon Herrera]

Fantastic, human.

[Tectone]

But, like, to think about how for people who know what happened in that scene, think about how incredible that is. Like, for first of all, the author for writing those pieces and the director for choosing. Yeah, keep that in. That's the one. It's so much realism tied into it. Like, fuck, bro. Everything in that movie is so perfect.

[Eli Double Tap]

I can't wait.

[Tectone]

I have the soundtrack playing in my head. Oh, my God, it's so good.

[Eli Double Tap]

So long.

[Tectone]

God. So lame. You haven't seen that?

[Brandon Herrera]

I was gonna say I'm working on it. I'm not.

[Tectone]

You're not? I hate.

[Brandon Herrera]

I feel like it's such an event now that I, like, I can't just go home and watch it on tv.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, we'll have to see what one we can watch at the movie theater. And then we'll just. If we can't get.

[Donut Operator]

We could probably do it. I just hit him up on short notice, I think with this. That'd be like a month out type thing for them to be able to get their hands on it.

[Eli Double Tap]

That'd be a blast, dude.

[Donut Operator]

It'll be fun.

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay, we're doing it. I just watched the first one, like, on a plane ride the other week.

[Tectone]

So I'll watch it again.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'm like, it. It's so good.

[Tectone]

I watched the spongebob movie on the plan. It was lit.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're like. You're oscillating your mental age for me. Like, with every sentence you say oscillates between 11 and 40.

[Tectone]

Because it's because my fiance loves Spongebob and I'm like, all right, babe, we can chill. We can watch spongebob on this. I love it. It's good.

[Brandon Herrera]

Isn't the new one? New one?

[Tectone]

The new one? Yeah. Because I guess, like, I want to have kids soon, so, like, I want to, like, what should I let them watch? What's going to turn them into a trans. What's going to keep them normal? How is spongebob still okay? I don't know. Let's see. Yeah, normal. Spongebob seems good so far, I think. You know, spongebob originally started to explain why being gay was okay, and then they changed that. Yeah, yeah. Spongebob and Patrick were supposed to be gay for each other, and they cut that out. They striked it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Now it's just that spongebob does come off as a little cool.

[Tectone]

He does? Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Sponges.

[Tectone]

All those holes.

[Donut Operator]

God, the meat canyon bit. Oh, I forgot about the spongebob one.

[Tectone]

Do you remember that? No, I haven't seen that one. I've only seen his. His chick fil A1 and then the one where he made about Hasan and as we were being secretly gay for each other.

[Eli Double Tap]

That was.

[Brandon Herrera]

That whole. Was hilarious.

[Tectone]

Oh, yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

I love watching Shocking the Dog. Hasan did not have fun watching that.

[Tectone]

Oh, he reacted so.

[Eli Double Tap]

He did not like that.

[Tectone]

Oh, it's because Hasan's life right now, he's. He's miserable. He hates his fucking life. And what's crazy about Hasan, I don't want to talk about him too much. Also, the. The dog. Shocking. I'm glad you all know about that. I wasn't sure if you knew about the dog. Shocking. Hilarious.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think we talked about it last time you were on. I don't.

[Tectone]

There's no way. Yeah, because last time I was on was eight months ago. It happened seven months ago, so I would just missed it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Maybe it's outside of that.

[Tectone]

I was talking about some other gay shit he did, which is a lot, and that's why he gets up all the time.

[Brandon Herrera]

But, like, so the thing that he's wearing the suits now because it makes his head look bigger. It's like, dude, we're actually getting to this guy.

[Tectone]

Yes. Oh, yeah. So, God, how he draws him.

[Eli Double Tap]

Is that meat canyon?

[Tectone]

That's spongebob. Yeah. Oh, my God.

[Eli Double Tap]

Top of meat.

[Brandon Herrera]

I remember when the first time we. Well, so we were hanging out with Hunter and I told the shop boys, like, because we were building them a rifle and they were like, oh, cool. Who's it for? Because, you know, build it out and like, I'll do this, this, this, this, and this. Like, oh, cool.

[Donut Operator]

Who's it for?

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm giving it to. To Meat Canyon. And my shot boys were like, they'd never met him before. They were like, are you sure?

[Tectone]

Is he really.

[Brandon Herrera]

Is that a good idea? This guy does not seem like he's okay.

[Tectone]

Oh, he's awesome. He's so nice.

[Brandon Herrera]

He's one of the most organically funny motherfuckers I've ever met.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, I didn't know that the shop

[Tectone]

boys were like, well.

[Brandon Herrera]

Cause they didn't know because this was before his Papa Meat channel too.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, yeah. This is the only thing he knew

[Brandon Herrera]

of him was just his cartoons. Like, if you don't know the guy, I get it.

[Tectone]

Yeah, arm him.

[Brandon Herrera]

Are you sure this is a good idea, boss?

[Tectone]

Hey, you ever just wake up and

[Eli Double Tap]

felt like your mattress sucks and it beat your ass?

[Tectone]

Punched you in the face?

[Brandon Herrera]

That's crazy. Does the mattress Also your mom? You ever wake up feeling like you slept in a swamp? Cause you're disg. Nasty ball sweat. I see most of you on Reddit, so I know you have time to

[Eli Double Tap]

break up with that mattress.

[Brandon Herrera]

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

[Tectone]

Well, guess what?

[Eli Double Tap]

Ghostbed just launched their new mattress line.

[Brandon Herrera]

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

[Eli Double Tap]

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

[Brandon Herrera]

your giant hog cool.

[Eli Double Tap]

Did you know they're built to last?

[Brandon Herrera]

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

[Tectone]

Way to make it real, Brandon.

[Eli Double Tap]

Plus 101 night sleep trial.

[Brandon Herrera]

Don't love it.

[Tectone]

Send that sh t back 101 nights.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's three months risk free.

[Tectone]

They got the full setup, adjustable bases

[Eli Double Tap]

and pillows, buttery, soft sheets.

[Brandon Herrera]

Buttery and even better, you can get 10% off site wide when you go to ghostbed.com. unsubscribe and use code unsubscribe. And that's on top of their everyday deals of mattresses, adjustable bases and pillows already being up to 50% off. Come on guys. What are we doing?

[Tectone]

What are we Doing?

[Brandon Herrera]

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

[Eli Double Tap]

Hey, go use code unsub.

[Brandon Herrera]

What's happening? What's going on?

[Eli Double Tap]

That's ghostbad.com unsubscribe. Use code unsubscribe. Sleep better. Stay cooler.

[Tectone]

This is a threat, but to get into a segue on. Before I get to this eventual Hasan rant. So there's this game that come out recently. It's called Pragmata. And essentially, currently, birth rates are declining across the entire globe. Nobody wants to have sex anymore because the hentai is too good. Which, once again, donut. Bringing the hentai virus into America, you know, that's really gonna.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm sorry, little one.

[Tectone]

So Pragmata was essentially supposed to cause the new baby boom. And I'm not gonna lie. There's. There's games like, if you play God of War, you're gonna want to be a dad. If you play Pragmatic, you're gonna want to be a dad.

[Brandon Herrera]

Weird.

[Tectone]

Hold on.

[Brandon Herrera]

As soon as media starts putting positive male influences and starts talking about family and the importance of raising children, people started what? It's almost like there was a subversive plot to intentionally not include those.

[Tectone]

Yes. Oh, my God, bro. The amount of women who I see these days who think they're, like, being abused if they listen to their husband is insane. Or if they have a kid, their life is ruined. It's like. It's disgusting. That's when life begins. That's the best part of life, is having kids. That's the whole point. While we're here, at least my opinion, but I really would like to be a father. Anyways, Pragmatic comes out. All this great shit's going out. Like, all women are talking about having kids. Men are talking about finally having kids. How, like, sex is good and straight relationships are normal and good. It's pretty cool. Yeah, it's pretty cool.

[Donut Operator]

I fucking love it. It's rad.

[Brandon Herrera]

One of my favorite things.

[Tectone]

There's a. There's streamers like Pokimane and Valkyrie, who've been putting out, like, I think it's natal antenatal. Maybe I'm using the wrong word. Anyways, a lot of propaganda about how, like, being a woman and mom sounds, right? Like. Like, being a mom will ruin your life. And how, like, they never want to have kids and how, like, their eggs are drying up.

[Brandon Herrera]

They got, like, a stitch to fix that. Now it's fin.

[Tectone]

Yeah, their eggs are drying up because they're turning 35. And Hasan starts crashing the out on stream, like to an absurd degree, because he was saying how, like, why the fuck do any of like these incel chuds who like, will never have kids even like this game? Like, news flash, just because you play pragmatic doesn't mean that you're ever going to have kids because you're a loser. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I started to like, really look deep into it about why he got so bothered about this. And it's because he recently got broken up with by a streamer by the name of Valkyrie. This is all theory crafting, by the way. At least this part. Him and Valkyrie were in a relationship. I believe they've broken up because I look way too much into this shit. And he realized that he got the

[Brandon Herrera]

red thread board behind you.

[Tectone]

The thing is, I think way too much of this all the time. I love it. But he can't have kids because his girlfriend never wanted kids. So he realized that he is going to die a incel sexless chud who will never have a spawn of his own. And so he has to demonize that idea to make it actually. The people who do get to have kids are actually the lame one. But Hasan frequently tells people that if you're a viewer, you're a loser because you can't have sex. Blah, blah, blah, blah.

[Brandon Herrera]

But we do it as a joke.

[Tectone]

Yes, yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

We do it because we're like ribbing the audience a little bit. Like, not legitimately.

[Eli Double Tap]

Game looks beautiful.

[Brandon Herrera]

Have you ever seen it?

[Eli Double Tap]

I've never seen this. And it's a real like 90% review this.

[Tectone]

It's incredible. It's incredible.

[Brandon Herrera]

All that's been coming across my feed is like, how it's essentially just like reproduction slop.

[Tectone]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's genuinely like making people feel things like, oh, fuck, I think I want to be a dad.

[Tectone]

Yeah, I. 100% of the main story in about 13 to 15 hours. It was so good.

[Brandon Herrera]

Tell the truth. Is that a large part of why you're wanting to have a kid now?

[Tectone]

Okay. God of War is what started.

[Brandon Herrera]

All right, all right.

[Tectone]

Like, and then the idea of. I thought it was very cool. I watch this video where it's like, like raising a daughter is a lot easier than raising a son. Because if you raise a son, you're essentially raising your replacement to like, be your successor and, like, be the better version of you. And I thought that was very cool as well as Vinland Saga. But, you know, I don't know. I'M just bored as shit, bro. Like, I don't want to play video games anymore. Like, listen, I'm bored.

[Brandon Herrera]

I guess I'll have a kid.

[Tectone]

No, but like, oh, the best reasons to have children.

[Brandon Herrera]

But I'm saying, like, I read that in a book.

[Tectone]

It's like, oh, I can play video games and play cars all the time. Like, I recently like, went pro in this card game offline called Rift Battle. It's a League of Legends card game. And like, I was ranked number 22 in the world after playing it for like three months. And I was like. And I want to.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like, I made like you were traveling to do.

[Tectone]

Yeah, yeah, I would like Mia. And I was just grinding this nonsense. I made like $180,000 offline just playing this game. I loved it. I'm just fucking bored. Like, I can play another game. Yeah, but like, I don't know. I want to. I feel like, Cody, you probably know this. I feel like having a kid is a pretty powerful moment, a pretty compelling thing to motivate you to be a man.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, for sure.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

So if you had a kid, would you pretty fine. Would you have them on stream or would you hide? Okay, that's kind of. That's what I was kind of figuring.

[Tectone]

Yeah. No, I don't want to do content with that shit. Absolutely. I mean, and I also, like, if I have a kid, I'm going to want to retire. Like, I'm just to be honest, for at least a year or two just to be with my kid. But that's after I make enough money, which I'm very close to making that much money. But anyways, so.

[Brandon Herrera]

So go support him so he can off.

[Tectone]

That would be great. I will retire if I receive a million dollars. But I realize you have these streamer like Hasan, who wants to call their viewers losers because they can't have sex and they can't have kids, blah, blah, blah. But then you have to realize Hasan is a guy with $3.4 million mansion in LA. He makes million dollars a year. He looks good, he's in shape, he's a successful streamer. He has all of that. And he still can't hold a relationship and he still can't have a kid. That's pathetic. When you have all of that shit and you're trying and you still can't do it. Bro has no room to talk. And the worst thing is this is a guy who talks so much, but like what, four or five months ago he says that he could beat my ass anytime. That he wants. And I say, okay, I will fight you in a boxing ring. I will give you half a million dollars if I lose, as well as I will never stream again if you beat me. And he's completely ducked me because he's an absolute

[Brandon Herrera]

dude. If any of my opponents ever at any point have made that offer.

[Tectone]

Yes. Oh, dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, I think I did very hard.

[Eli Double Tap]

If that was ever the case. I'm like, oh, my life is dedicated.

[Brandon Herrera]

I legitimately offered Tony, I think it was like a hundred thousand dollars to the charity of his choice, and I would drop out if I lost. And he says on a boxing match.

[Tectone]

And you know what the worst thing is?

[Brandon Herrera]

My consultant told me not to make that offer, but I did it.

[Eli Double Tap]

That we're doing it.

[Brandon Herrera]

I did.

[Tectone]

Anyway, it's not that he's against boxing because literally three weeks ago he says that he would go and box XQC anytime. The guy who's built like a Minecraft skeleton.

[Brandon Herrera]

Right. Well, just as a quick aside, I think after all the shit started coming out, I was waiting for the text message from Tony. Like, never mind. Hey, about that boxing match I just crashed.

[Eli Double Tap]

He's like, okay, it's time to offer.

[Brandon Herrera]

Valid until everyone finds out you're a piece of shit. Sorry, you're just past the deadline. Sorry to interrupt.

[Tectone]

Oh, no, it's all good. But the thing is that he's a massive fucking. He talks all this shit, can't back any of it up. And the only fights he will ever take is versus someone where there's no chance that he could lose. He'll fight xqc, but he'll never debate. He'll never box me. He'll never box Sam Hyde. He'll debate random chatters, but he'll never debate someone who actually knows what the they're talking about. Because he can't. Because he's all. He's all. He's just fraudulent. He has the reason. The issue with Hasan is the things that he says aren't things that he actually believes. He just says what people want him to say, and he really pays into that mentally deranged, delusional crowd.

[Brandon Herrera]

I have a problem with a lot of, like, a lot of the right wings, you know, content creators, like some of the streamers, like talking heads and stuff like that for the same reason. Because I don't think sometimes people. It's not genuine. I don't think it's what they actually believe. I think a lot of times, and there's probably a few people that know what I'm talking About or who I'm talking about. But, like, they're not saying what they believe. They're saying what is a fringe opinion that they can kind of collect that 20 to 30% of people that believe the unpopular thing.

[Tectone]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

And whatever the controversial thing is. Like, you're being lied to. This, this, this, like the. The very conspiratorial shit. And even though they know it's horseshit, like, they're not stupid and they won't.

[Eli Double Tap]

They'll still push it and they won't stand on it either. Like, it's.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, well, I guess I was wrong. Anyway, next inflammatory opinion. It's just because it gets clicks.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

What's his name? We can cut the name just in case. But I didn't know that was happening to him.

[Brandon Herrera]

I didn't know either.

[Tectone]

I don't. I still don't know what's going on with that.

[Eli Double Tap]

So apparently it was. You have an individual that was like, no suppression. You. Everything should be freedom of speech. Talk about everything. Come to find out he was copywriting channels and striking them. Well, this guy's. So. This guy's. But again, I don't know the name, so cut it.

[Tectone]

Oh, you know. No, he copyright struck this people called.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, that's who he did. Yes.

[Tectone]

Yeah. Oh, okay.

[Eli Double Tap]

So he started doing it on a whole bunch of big people. Anyone that just said anything negative about him. Yeah, he would just go after them. So they. The reason I'm not saying his name, because I know poor are going through it right now. Idiot. Yeah. Like, we're trying to salvage this situation right now, but we're seeing how it goes.

[Brandon Herrera]

I mean, I've had people that feel like, oh, Bren Herrera got my channel deleted and taken down. Whatever. I'm like, I have never in my fucking life.

[Tectone]

I assure you.

[Brandon Herrera]

I hate to be an asshole about it, but it's like the Thanos. Like, I don't even know who you are.

[Tectone]

The exact same thing happened to me multiple times. I've never copyright struck anybody because there's no reason to.

[Brandon Herrera]

The only time I've copyright struck people is when they've legitimately just reposted my video and stolen it.

[Tectone]

Oh, I still won't even do that, because I know that is what they want to do. And it'll cause, like, a Streisand effect where, like, this channel that nobody knows who's reposting my shit. Right. Then be like, Tectone did what? And it's already. Like, I've already get so much for shit that I didn't do. It's ridiculous. I'm just like, yeah, just talk your shit, bro. I don't give a Repost my clips and out of context, make me look bad.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't just spell my name.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Tectone]

The one pet peeve I have. This is so funny. I'm like, dude, post all the hate videos you want, but there's this one photo of me on the Internet that where I look and they always make that the fucking thumbnail, dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

Insane.

[Tectone]

Like so annoying.

[Eli Double Tap]

Is it the first Google image?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, probably.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's probably the first Google image and that's why it always gets picked first.

[Tectone]

Let's see tech tone. Is that also the first Google image? Because it drives me insane. It's this one also.

[Brandon Herrera]

This one goes hard.

[Tectone]

It's this one. I hate this fucking photo. Is this.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, that's cool.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's from political. Political article. They're trying to make me look bad.

[Tectone]

But you look awesome.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, dude, that's rad.

[Tectone]

Yeah, like that looks dope as shit.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's a thumbnail. This one. I just.

[Tectone]

Oh yeah, wait, that one. It's like, dude, post any other photo making me out to be like a racist Nazi. I don't care. This. God, it's so bad, bro. I look so.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh yeah, yeah. That was also before the weight loss I think too.

[Tectone]

Yeah, it was £340 in that photo. I hate it, bro. So annoying.

[Donut Operator]

Cody.

[Brandon Herrera]

All right.

[Tectone]

Oh yeah, this one. It's so bad, bro. I hate it so much, bro. Come the off, like legit. I. I don't care what people should talk me at all. I actually, I'll be real. I watch a lot of my hate videos. I love them.

[Brandon Herrera]

Also this one from Huffington Post.

[Eli Double Tap]

Those are cool.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like they're trying to make me look badass. The huffpo one, like it looks cool as sh. I'm like, you're trying to like this scary gun guy and I'm like, hell yeah, send me a copy.

[Tectone]

I had this one guy, he was a, he was a 60 year old man who lived with his parents and he made videos on me every single day for a year.

[Brandon Herrera]

And a half.

[Tectone]

And they got like 50 views. I watched every single one. It was awesome. I would invite people over to watch because this guy was out of his fucking mind.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, actually, like, schizophrenia, you know, he

[Tectone]

would legit talk about, like, how he had, like. Like this happened. Like, he was fighting me in real life. And, like, I threw a fireball at him. And so he summoned an ice shield. And I'm like, bro, what is this guy saying?

[Eli Double Tap]

You get that next level crazy and that's awesome. Those are the terrifying people. I'm like, oh, no, he's not in reality.

[Tectone]

Right?

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like, well, that's funny. You should probably have him committed. That's not good.

[Tectone]

Yeah, that was good.

[Brandon Herrera]

That guy could be standing behind you in line at Walmart like the.

[Tectone]

That's because. Because people don't understand that haters help you and people don't get that. So people worry about hate way too much. That's one thing that I'm not going to mention. Names I never talk about. I never say who I talk to. But a lot of people don't realize that hate coming from a side that you don't want benefits your channel because there are certain people where if they on you, that benefits your career. Because the people who hate that people will instantly have the inverse opinion, even if what they say is true sometimes. So you don't really have to worry about hate unless it's coming. Coming from a source that was positively affiliated with you.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like infighting, Essentially.

[Tectone]

Yes. You never want infighting, but if the other side comes at you, it doesn't matter at all.

[Brandon Herrera]

I've seen that firsthand. So, like, the day after Tony dropped out of the race, seeing it. Like, I had Jake Tapper on CNN talking about how, like, I'm a neo Nazi piece of and all this stuff. It was a very bizarre experience. Like prime time news. Yeah, that's not as prime time as CNN could be anyway.

[Tectone]

Because you're not a Nazi.

[Brandon Herrera]

No. Yeah. Crazy thought. Yeah. Herrera the brown. Herrera, the brown face of white supremacy, according to cnn. But immediately after, a bunch of, like, Republican talking heads that I've never talked to, you know, they probably didn't know who I was. Immediately showed up at my defense and I'm like, this is cool. That's never happened before.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like, what the fuck is this? No, thank you. I like, just no hate. Keep it nice. Happy. Make dark jokes. Well, I guess even then people get mad about the dark jokes.

[Brandon Herrera]

I feel like we've done a pretty good job at keeping the unsub Audience, you know, relatively positive, like extremely that.

[Eli Double Tap]

I mean until you up on the rich like the Buffalo school thing.

[Brandon Herrera]

Don't slander people we like and don't with kids.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. Surprising. Surprising. And then they got bullied into existence and stopped that instantly.

[Brandon Herrera]

Bullied into existence?

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. Out of existence.

[Brandon Herrera]

We've created life.

[Tectone]

Yes. Real hard.

[Eli Double Tap]

Hey Cody. Did you know it's Father's day is around the corner?

[Tectone]

What?

[Eli Double Tap]

Does this look familiar?

[Brandon Herrera]

Why the did you bring the wrong charger? I was confused and scared.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'm so scared.

[Brandon Herrera]

Avoid that with this bridge, Wally. Much like brand Ridge was actually designed

[Eli Double Tap]

by a father and a son. Designed to fit those father and son needs.

[Brandon Herrera]

FBI open up legitimately. I broke my phone months ago so I cannot charge through the normal USB C port. So I have to use things like this. And they are very convenient on the go. With 20 watts of power and 10,000 milliamps of capacity, you've got up to three full phone charges right there in your pocket.

[Eli Double Tap]

It shows how much power you have have left by the LED screen indicator.

[Donut Operator]

One thing to pack and five ways to power.

[Tectone]

Oh, I've got one thing to pack

[Brandon Herrera]

with five ways to power.

[Eli Double Tap]

Don't miss one of their biggest discounts all year.

[Brandon Herrera]

For a limited time, get up to 40% off during Ridge's huge Father's day sale by going to ridge.com unsub after you purchase they're gonna ask where you heard about them. Tell them unsub sends their regards.

[Eli Double Tap]

You say happy Father's Day.

[Brandon Herrera]

Love you dad. See, I hate it here.

[Tectone]

Yalls community. I would like to vouch for very hard. I went to Yalls show a couple of months ago. Whenever the hell that was. How long was it? Like two months, three months. Whenever the that was.

[Brandon Herrera]

That was back in October.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, so five months, six months now. Dang.

[Tectone]

It's going. Oh, that was a while ago then. Anyways, met them all. Real life. Super nice. Everybody across the board, super nice. Especially on Twitter, dude. God damn, bro. They will support this out of people on Twitter. Especially dude, seeing donut pvping every single day having those people in the comments like yeah, whatever he says. I agree with this piece of. What are we talking about?

[Brandon Herrera]

One of the funny parts about you being in Japan just like waking up at like 7 o' clock in the morning seeing like you at like 4:30 in the morning just throwing Molotovs at people on Twitter.

[Eli Double Tap]

Never picture Cody like that.

[Tectone]

It's catch fire.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like just open my window, Cody. Throwing Molotovs at cars.

[Tectone]

Seeing everybody gang up on Tony was the funniest.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm gonna miss that.

[Tectone]

I know, I know. Good times. I mean, you're.

[Eli Double Tap]

And then the next person learned a valuable lesson about.

[Brandon Herrera]

She has not posted on Twitter in about a month and a half.

[Tectone]

Damn weird.

[Eli Double Tap]

Imagine if you're.

[Brandon Herrera]

She went private. She went private with her Twitter for a. Like, half a day, and then a reporter had reached out and asked her why she made it private, like, implying she was gonna write a story about it. And then suddenly her Twitter was back up and it was public, and it was a mistake. In reality, the very first time, we had, like, a little, like, Twitter skirmish and our audience got involved. Which, by the way, she does have a Facebook page, just so you know.

[Eli Double Tap]

Because imagine if you're not used to. You're used to, like, like, 10 to 20 comments, period. And then every once in a while, you might get, like, a little hate, like one out of hundreds, and that's multiple posts. Now all of a sudden, you did a single post. You're not used to that, and the Internet suddenly hates you.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, because I think the thing is these people are used to being able to just throw out slander and not have consequences. And so when they get called to the carpet on it to the tune of hundreds of comments, they're not prepared to handle it because they're not used to pushback. Especially my opponent. I don't think she's ever had, like, actual, you know, like. Like in my. In my world, like, with the Internet and shit like that. My fins. My skin's very thick. My skin's very thick. Because, like, we've. I've been on the Internet for my entire adult life, essentially, so I'm used to reading comments, stuff like that.

[Tectone]

You ever do Call of Duty lobbies?

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah, dude. God. Modern Warfare 2.

[Tectone]

Yeah, there it is.

[Brandon Herrera]

Fuck off. Yeah, it's hard to say something that, like, legitimately pisses me. Me off that I take to heart, but, like, these people are just used

[Eli Double Tap]

to being able to say whatever with very little repercussion. Even those articles that came out against you right after the Tony situation, they stopped. You had, what, three different.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, Rolling Stone, which again, still might sue you. Apparent Neo Nazi. It's like, man, that one word, apparent.

[Tectone]

One degree of separation.

[Brandon Herrera]

Interesting choice, but because I think they thought that meant alleged, and it does not. Yeah, like, well, we'll see.

[Eli Double Tap]

I passed on all of that world.

[Donut Operator]

I got blocked on Twitter again. Rainbow Six.

[Brandon Herrera]

Siege.

[Tectone]

I saw that.

[Brandon Herrera]

What was the story on that?

[Donut Operator]

They. They had this Incredibly gay gun. And I said it was a gay gun. And they blocked me. And I was like, lol. They blocked me. And so everyone, you know, I threw a Molotov at them.

[Tectone]

I was in there.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yep.

[Donut Operator]

So everyone started.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think that was one of the Molotov attacks them.

[Donut Operator]

And then they unblocked me immediately after they started getting hate.

[Tectone]

There you go.

[Donut Operator]

But I was blocked for like 20 minutes there. It was weird one.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was one little like 22 year old interns, like, oh, block this guy, the boss. You did what?

[Tectone]

Are y'.

[Donut Operator]

All.

[Tectone]

Are y' all familiar with the. The Manosphere?

[Brandon Herrera]

The what?

[Tectone]

The manosphere.

[Brandon Herrera]

I feel like that's. That's the entire theme of this podcast. Are you familiar with X? What?

[Tectone]

I figured you would be like, there. So there's content creators like, you know, Andrew Tate and. Okay, yeah, Nick Fuentes is part of the manosphere. Myron Gaines is part of the manosphere.

[Brandon Herrera]

I've never heard the term.

[Tectone]

Oh, yeah, yeah. So essentially, they're like a bunch of people who just, like, hate women. Right. And so, you know, the rise of misogyny is on the up right now. And, you know, some people get it, some people don't. But there was one story that happened recently that I'd love to share with you guys about these streamers called the name of Tenz and Kaide were like, when people become misogynistic, people like Tenz, I like, get it. So there was this chick called Kaide, and she was a valorant streamer.

[Brandon Herrera]

Those are Tens and Kaide?

[Tectone]

Yeah, Tenz and Kaide.

[Brandon Herrera]

Okay.

[Tectone]

Kaide is the woman.

[Brandon Herrera]

I thought it was a Japanese name.

[Eli Double Tap]

Cody met him.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, you did your yellow face voice, huge penis.

[Tectone]

They don't say that too often. But then there was Tenz, who was another Asian. They are both Asian, surprisingly, I mean, hilarious above the whole Tenzin Kaide thing. And Tenz was the number one valorant player in the whole world. Okay. And so Tenz and Kaide began to date early on. They were feeling each other out, and Kai Day was a nobody. No viewers. Tens. Tens had like 10, 15, 20,000 viewers every single time he went live. Well, Kaide got cancer. Okay. And because of the cancer, a lot of people like Iron Mouse have also. She's. Iron Mouse is a vtuber. She kind of blew up because those are them. Those are the Asians.

[Donut Operator]

Yep.

[Eli Double Tap]

Those are the happy couple.

[Tectone]

Very happy couple. This story has a great happy ending. I'm sure.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm looking forward to it.

[Tectone]

Yeah. But, you know, there's some streamers who blow up because they have health issues. Because Twitch community is actually pretty nice. And they're like, oh, this person's struggling. We want to be there to help them out and support them.

[Eli Double Tap]

And then they stand up from the wheelchair.

[Tectone]

Yeah, they forgot to turn off the. That was a guy who would have worked the pool. Yeah. Oh, my God.

[Brandon Herrera]

What?

[Tectone]

Oh, you.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, dude, this. You're like, okay. He's been getting donations because he can't walk wheelchair.

[Brandon Herrera]

But he's girl.

[Eli Double Tap]

That World of Warcraft.

[Tectone]

What game was it? It was. Wow.

[Eli Double Tap]

Wow. Boom. And then he's like, okay, thanks, everyone. Love you. Boom.

[Tectone]

Stands up from the wheelchair, bro. It's crazy.

[Eli Double Tap]

String still up, yo, did homie just walk?

[Brandon Herrera]

It's a miracle. Dude, your donations worked.

[Tectone]

You.

[Eli Double Tap]

I swear, it was just like, tell

[Tectone]

me he deleted everything.

[Brandon Herrera]

I would just kill my breakers at that point.

[Tectone]

Just. Yeah, it was a glitch, AI. Oh, man, I'm so glad we have AI as an excuse now. That's gonna be great. Oh, guys, that. That footage wasn't real, but yeah. Anyways, so Tenz decided to step back from content creation as the number one valorant player in the world, as well as a multimillion dollar career as a streamer to take care of Kaide because she had cancer. And because they couldn't see tens anymore, that whole viewership went to go support Kaide. And because she had cancer, they all stuck around.

[Brandon Herrera]

What kind of cancer?

[Tectone]

I have no idea. Yeah, I'm not sure. It wasn't pancreas. I'm sure it'll say she had cancer.

[Brandon Herrera]

Why are you so certain it wasn't

[Tectone]

pancreatic like that one? You're just dead. That one's like, really?

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Tectone]

Yeah, pancreatic cancer is, like, super dangerous. I believe that's like, the worst one to get is what I've been told.

[Brandon Herrera]

I did not know that.

[Tectone]

Yeah, because, you know she had prostate cancer. Is that actually what it was?

[Brandon Herrera]

She had prostate cancer.

[Tectone]

I was like, maybe this joke's not gonna come on.

[Brandon Herrera]

She does not have a prostate. Yes, she had.

[Tectone]

I haven't drank alcohol in a while, so I'm up right now.

[Brandon Herrera]

Acute myeloid, I believe. Leukemia.

[Tectone]

Leukemia, okay. So she had this horrible disease. You know, she lost her hair and all that stuff. And Tenz was, like, seen in her background all the time, bringing her snacks, bringing her food, supporting her fully in her career as well as this is confirmed. Giving her his own blood. They were similar for blood, so he was able to donate her blood. There is rumors this was never Confirmed that he also gave her some, some bone. Sampling something from his bones.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, marrow.

[Tectone]

But I don't want to say that because I can't confirm it, but painful,

[Eli Double Tap]

by the way, to give bone marrow.

[Tectone]

I, I'd imagine. No.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, they can't. Like you can't get numbed or something. You feel everything. I do know that. That's interesting.

[Brandon Herrera]

You get terrible marrow.

[Tectone]

Yeah. Huh.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's the one thing that breaks down and then it's the. That's why eating it's really good for you.

[Tectone]

Delicious.

[Brandon Herrera]

Not human marrow.

[Eli Double Tap]

Not human in general.

[Brandon Herrera]

I mean it's very, very nutrient dance.

[Tectone]

Yeah. Love. It's great on sourdough. Delicious.

[Brandon Herrera]

Anyways, once again, not human.

[Tectone]

Yeah, not human.

[Brandon Herrera]

But maybe, maybe you do have those 13 in your basement. I don't know. Like, oh, dude, sourdough.

[Tectone]

Oh yeah. Get them while they're young.

[Eli Double Tap]

Not human.

[Brandon Herrera]

You are a streamer.

[Tectone]

Jesus. Good Lord. Check my hard drives. So. That's another crazy story that I probably won't tell until later.

[Eli Double Tap]

You probably should tell that one now.

[Tectone]

Yeah, I probably should. So, yeah, Kaide became a very popular streamer very quickly because of Tenzin support and other streamers. Support supporting their cancer. And she goes into remission and Tenz put his entire career on hold, retired from everything to take care of this chick. The moment that she recovered from her cancer, she leaves this guy immediately and gets plowed by one of his friends like within like a week on a cruise ship where they were apparently abandoned.

[Brandon Herrera]

And yeah, do they have hantavirus now?

[Tectone]

They probably do have the antivirus, but the Internet was furious of this chick because it's like a lot of people are just saying what the fuck does a man have to do in 2026 to just make a woman happy to stay?

[Brandon Herrera]

This guy, has he said anything about it, like about this situation? Cuz I, I saw like, I just happened to see like some posts where he was basically like, hey, we parted

[Tectone]

mutually so many times before the breakup. They publicly stated together, like even if anything happens, they're never going to go in on each other because they don't want any drama. So the Internet's kind of going in for them because 10 is a very sweet guy, a very good guy, and he probably just doesn't want any drama. But. But it is. Is fucking heartbreaking how, you know, you're with someone for four years, you give them your blood, you give up your career, and then the moment they have an opportunity, they leave. And so a lot of people resonated with that story and they said, yo, this bitch. But yeah, that is why. That is a story that. I get why some people are misogynists when something like that happens to them very rare.

[Eli Double Tap]

I always ask.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, I mean, that's a pretty unique scenario. Sorry to. That's a pretty unique scenario to, you know, literally be someone's fucking blood bag.

[Eli Double Tap]

My thing is, it's still putting yourself in that scenario situation. It's even. I mean, savage. She knew, hey, relationship will come second. Like building empires first because that's what's a sustainable model. And then build your own empire, same time. And then we can coexist. Great.

[Brandon Herrera]

I feel like, otherwise different if Sav got cancer.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. But still, it's still even at that. It's like, oh, babe, hey, yeah, I'll take care of you. This still needs to happen. I have the money to have you taken care of, though, at the same time, so I can afford that life. We can continue to afford this lifestyle. I will make sure you're taken care of. But I still have to work at the same time. Especially at a young age. If you're a twin, how old were they?

[Tectone]

Well.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, they were both.

[Tectone]

They were young. Yeah, they were young.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's the hard part. That's why it's like, at that age, statistically, what's the chance of you staying together past 30? Slim, homie. Sorry. I'm a realist on that. I am a very big realist.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're just like. You just did the math on her mortality rate on leukemia versus your odds of staying together.

[Tectone]

Well, either or.

[Eli Double Tap]

It can be sick or not.

[Brandon Herrera]

Sociopathic thing I've ever heard in my life.

[Tectone]

I don't even look at it like that.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'm like, yeah, sick or not sick. I'm like, just. Chances are here's where this is gonna happen.

[Tectone]

But

[Brandon Herrera]

put her down like the family dog. Jesus Christ.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's one of those ones where I'm like, now she's a piece of. Though everyone hates her.

[Tectone]

Yes, of course. Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Okay. So. Well, Context.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, but you said he's. He's.

[Tectone]

He's Killing Tens came back to streaming. He also went back to Valorant immediately, went to the top of the charts, and his streaming career is blown up, so.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, it helped him, I guarantee.

[Tectone]

Yeah. No, yeah, that's. That's the great thing is that, you know, some horrible, tragic life. Life events will be great for your career, so, you know, you gotta take with the upside, like, oh, sure, you got cancer, but hey, man, those numbers.

[Eli Double Tap]

Send Help is now streaming on Hulu. And Hulu on Disney plus.

[Brandon Herrera]

We're somewhere in the Gulf of Thailand.

[Eli Double Tap]

Getting us out of here should be your focus.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm your boss. You work for me. Not in the office anymore.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's bold, relentless, and endlessly rewatchable. Discover why critics give it 93% on rotten tomatoes. You're so fired.

[Tectone]

Oh, am I?

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Tectone]

Help is coming.

[Eli Double Tap]

Send help.

[Brandon Herrera]

Rated R now streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney plus. Canon event. Canon event. Well, literal canon event. Scott Kentucky, ballistics. Almost. Almost getting killed.

[Tectone]

His great reviews. Tragedy is great for views he did.

[Eli Double Tap]

Do you know Scott Kentucky's.

[Tectone]

You've told me about this.

[Brandon Herrera]

50 cal.

[Tectone]

You. Yep.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, 50 cal. Went off. Did damage.

[Brandon Herrera]

You could say damage, yes. Split his jugular and had to shove

[Eli Double Tap]

his thumb halfway down.

[Brandon Herrera]

Almost bled to death in front of his dad.

[Eli Double Tap]

We didn't find. What. We got a text a few days later. And then the Internet, though.

[Brandon Herrera]

He kept it off from his.

[Eli Double Tap]

His wife, and they kept it off the Internet until he explained the story. Right.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was like, a month. Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, we kept it quiet.

[Eli Double Tap]

He did a really good job.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, dude. I know we've rehashed it on the podcast a few times, but I remember I was, like, doing car karaoke, and Bernie just driving down, like, it was a nice, like, chill day. Windows down, like, 75 degrees, great day. And I get a call from Cody, and Cody's worst.

[Eli Double Tap]

I seen it processing because, like, I just.

[Brandon Herrera]

I answered the phone. I. Like a fucking asshole because I answered the phone. I just said, you're interrupting some really, really good car karaoke right now. This better be important. No change in pitch, just completely monotone. Scott had an accident. Like, and that's how I found out. Because you talked to that guy?

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. State trooper called me before anyone did.

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay.

[Donut Operator]

Who was. Who knew. Who knew him? Who policed with him?

[Eli Double Tap]

Them.

[Donut Operator]

And yeah. Called me and told me about it,

[Eli Double Tap]

and they made it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Which I think his wife was trying to keep it quiet.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. And then that inadvertently turned into you tearing. What? Tearing your shoulder by hitting an eggplant with a folding table.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, because. All right, he's out of line, but he's right.

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay, now this story's derailed.

[Tectone]

Go.

[Brandon Herrera]

Okay. It sounds out of pocket, but that did happen. So we. We. We. We, like, basically volunteered to take over for Scott's channel for a while because he was obviously recovering. He was really up. And so when we did a video, I think it was your video. We just did one. Everybody stepped up. Like, I did a video for his channel. Cody did a video for his channel. I think maybe Grantham did. I don't know. It was a bunch of people.

[Donut Operator]

Just so his channel wouldn't die out because he was gonna be gone for a while.

[Brandon Herrera]

Keep supporting him. He got all the AdSense revenue and everything. Kept the algorithm alive.

[Tectone]

Jesus Christ.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah, yeah. No, he got up.

[Eli Double Tap]

If I can find his chest.

[Brandon Herrera]

But his thing was like shooting the.

[Tectone]

God damn. Looks so cool though, dude.

[Eli Double Tap]

Gangster.

[Tectone]

Yeah, that's gangster.

[Eli Double Tap]

As it goes down his chest. Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like a full. Cuz they had split his sternum open, I think.

[Tectone]

Oh my God.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, but he.

[Tectone]

Ouch.

[Brandon Herrera]

But his whole thing is like shooting like eggplants and you know, folding tables and everything like that. So at one point I like for a bit, like you tossed an eggplant and I swatted it with a folding table and apparently that's a lot of inertia. I got. Had a pretty serious labral tear on my left arm. I forgot that happened.

[Donut Operator]

I remember I found it on video.

[Brandon Herrera]

I felt like a idiot. It's immediately like, oh, I something up that was bad.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's what Scott feels like.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Basically needs to do our same thing.

[Tectone]

Oh man.

[Brandon Herrera]

And I think that's just what we learned is just. You get injured on Kentucky Ballistics Channel.

[Eli Double Tap]

Dude, that gun.

[Tectone]

Have you.

[Eli Double Tap]

When are you doing the video? Or have you already released the video of the one

[Brandon Herrera]

at time of recording? We haven't released it, but in the. I don't know. Whenever this comes out. When is this coming out?

[Tectone]

Show.

[Eli Double Tap]

When's this come out?

[Brandon Herrera]

This weekend. Okay. I probably wouldn't have released it then. What's up? Okay, so the video I have coming up is shooting the world's most dangerous 50 cal. It's like. It's the Vulcan 50. It is notorious for blowing the up like it is. I don't know if it's killed anyone yet, but it's come close. Like this thing sends like the lug shear or it fires out of battery. It sends bolts into people's fucking neck. Like there are dudes that. I didn't shoot it. We had a good. Oh God. No. That was one that we looked at it. We don't. We couldn't even tell if it had been fired yet. But the sear was already starting to wear.

[Tectone]

Did you like hire a minority to shoot it for you?

[Brandon Herrera]

No, as it turns out, we're gonna miss Jose.

[Eli Double Tap]

Dude, I just picture Brent and it's like a string slow pain. It's like a Home Depot

[Brandon Herrera]

better We had sandbags but we did put like a ballistic dummy. Like a ballistic dummy head.

[Tectone]

How's he doing?

[Brandon Herrera]

Not great.

[Tectone]

O.

[Brandon Herrera]

Not great.

[Eli Double Tap]

Those fly out. I mean how much force. It's the. I mean equal and opposite reaction.

[Brandon Herrera]

You'll see it in the video. But it like the bolt flew out so fast and like the damage looks incredible. But it flew out so fast that it smacked into the bunker that everybody was hiding in.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

To the so quick it shook the camera that was up on the ledge.

[Tectone]

Oh my God.

[Eli Double Tap]

This is the opposite way by the way.

[Brandon Herrera]

Probably about 15ft away. 15 to 20ft away.

[Eli Double Tap]

That shit's terrifying. I know. Military was always never charge the saw or the 240 when the butt plates off because.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

And you swat their hands if they go to reach to charge it. Just because we've heard horror stories of

[Brandon Herrera]

even that the spring.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Tectone]

Yep.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Don't do that.

[Eli Double Tap]

But yours just.

[Brandon Herrera]

I did that the first time. Not good.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like don't do that.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's under a lot of light machine gun.

[Eli Double Tap]

That rifle too. Still looks like it's Terry. It's a hunting rifle that then just has.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like a single shot. 50 BMG.

[Donut Operator]

What's it called?

[Brandon Herrera]

The Vulcan 50.

[Eli Double Tap]

This big of a bullet.

[Brandon Herrera]

People don't realize that these guns are actually fucking dangerous. This company's changed names like four times. They're the. I'm gonna make this joke in the video but they're the firearm equivalent of like your local shitty fair that changes corporation name every time. Like a 14 year old dies on the Ferris wheel. Like it was bad. It was really bad, bro. No 50s are scary, dude. It's a. It's an anti aircraft round that we just you know grafted into a. A man fireable shoulder fireable round because

[Eli Double Tap]

it is a stick of dynamite. People don't realize that it's like a bomb. That's why your 50 cal is the most terrifying. The shoulder one.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh.

[Eli Double Tap]

Even though it's safe.

[Brandon Herrera]

M2.

[Eli Double Tap]

A2.

[Brandon Herrera]

M82. A2.

[Eli Double Tap]

Sorry. Yeah. That one's cool. It's safe. But it's still.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's pretty. Pretty reliable. But your. Your face is right next to the chamber. That's terrifying.

[Eli Double Tap]

And that's Scott's video is just bad ammo.

[Tectone]

That's a shame.

[Eli Double Tap]

Hot load. Right.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's. It's a mixture of things like so naturally you're like if you are shooting a bolt or single shot specifically like 50 cal. Like if the AK50 was to have a catastrophic malfunction. Right. Like knock on Wood. It's overbuilt. We specifically didn't want to want, you know, anybody to get Scotted. But the. There's a foot and a half of receiver behind it. Like, the explosions right here. You're pushing back a load of bolt mass. There's a spring that's capturing it. There's a rear trunnion meant to stop the bolt. Like, there's so much behind it that would make it less of a problem for the shooter. If there's a catastrophic mouth. Right. Single shot, there's nothing behind the bolt. That bolt just goes straight back into the shooter. And that's. That's what happened to Scott. I mean, it. The. The. The end cap, I think, broke his orbital. Like, it went straight into his head. Broke his orbital. And I think the ears went into his jugular and, like, lung.

[Tectone]

I just don't get how you, like, don't die from that shit. It's like that bullshit in the anime where it's like, you actually missed all my vitals. It's like, Halbro, I. Like, I blew out your brain and went through your heart.

[Brandon Herrera]

Right.

[Tectone]

Like, are you sure?

[Brandon Herrera]

Invincible's pretty bad about that.

[Tectone]

I hate it. It's like. Like, no spoilers, of course, but there's a character that gets his intestines ripped out for, like, half an hour, and then he's fine. There's another character that gets punched through his heart, and then he's just like, oh, actually, I'm fine.

[Eli Double Tap]

I like, they get stronger, too.

[Tectone]

It's like, what are we doing here, bro?

[Eli Double Tap]

It's like, I'm actually stronger after that.

[Tectone]

I would not be, by the way. I'm not gonna say what happens. Have you guys read the comics?

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Tectone]

What's gonna happen next season cannot air on tv.

[Brandon Herrera]

Eli spoiled that for me on the plane. The.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was like, I don't know how they do. Because I was like, I don't know how they do that shit.

[Brandon Herrera]

There's been waiting for it the entire time because I. So I was just catching up on it because I only watched the first season, and I liked it.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

But then, like, I just recently watched seasons two through four.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, maybe in the last month or two.

[Tectone]

Yeah. What's really good?

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, I do like the show.

[Tectone]

I think Invincible is all right. I think it's good for an American cartoon. I think, think comparatively to, like, you know, the top 50. Anime. Anime just shits on it. But, like, everybody's talking about it, so I'll walk on it, watch it just for fun. Just like, you know, be like, hey, guys, Conquest. He's a bad guy. Awesome voice acting, by the way. Man, Conquest is so cool.

[Brandon Herrera]

Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

[Tectone]

Yes, the man. That's Negan from Walking Dead also.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, the Sam and Dean's dead. And Supernatural.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, yeah, of course.

[Tectone]

Supernatural. The Superman show.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, the, like the, like my time, the monster hunting, like, ghost Demon Hunter show.

[Tectone]

I haven't seen that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, it's 15 seasons. It's super easy to get through.

[Eli Double Tap]

How many episodes in each season?

[Brandon Herrera]

I'll do. It's like 20. And they're. They're 40, 45 minutes a piece.

[Tectone]

Yeah, I've watched one piece twice. So. What?

[Eli Double Tap]

Why? I'm a loser.

[Brandon Herrera]

How many. How many episodes is that?

[Tectone]

I think it's 11 to 1200.

[Brandon Herrera]

How. How long is each episode?

[Tectone]

Okay, realistically, only 20 minutes, but. Okay, 20 minutes. But then it's like, this is what happened last episode. This is what's going to happen next episode.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's the anime thing where the intros. Four minutes of this? Yes. Yeah.

[Tectone]

The way I watched it, I also watched the first time I watched it just to get caught up. I watch it on double speed and then I rewatch it in regular speed. But, like, just to get through it, to get the Cliff Notes and then to watch, to actually absorb it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Watching a thousand episodes double speed sounds psychotic. It's not when you're 15 days.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yep.

[Tectone]

Like straight. So it's Japanese. It's Japanese. So you're only reading subtitles. They speak slow as shit after everything that happens. Like, okay, so it's like, are you

[Brandon Herrera]

one of those no dubs guy?

[Tectone]

I love dubs. If a show has a good dub, I will watch the dub every single time. The problem is there's just like, barely any good dubs. Like, Dragon Ball Z is the greatest dub of all time. So, like, I will watch that.

[Brandon Herrera]

So that pulled me the fuck out of Attack on Titan because I was watching it the entire time with dubs, which I still. Still Attack on Titan's Peak. I love that one. Yeah.

[Tectone]

Did you ever watch Code Geass?

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Tectone]

That's why you liked it? Okay, well, I was like, yeah, yeah. Because Attack on Titan is just Code Geass ending, but just terrible. So, like, that's why I like.

[Brandon Herrera]

I like the after. Like the credit scene.

[Tectone]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

That was really, like, that kind of tied everything together.

[Tectone]

I can't believe you watched anime. I can't know that. That's. That's weird.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't. I really don't. But, like, it was somebody at the time. Had told me, like, this is like a great gateway drug. And they were completely correct because it doesn't do the kawaii. Like, it's not happy.

[Tectone]

Am I watching a profile show? I don't know.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, it's very gritty in Japanese.

[Tectone]

There's way too much.

[Brandon Herrera]

Very gritty. But what pulled me out is that I was watching it the entire time with the dubs. And then when the new. I was. I watched it just when the last couple episodes were coming out. So they hadn't done the dubs yet.

[Tectone]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

And so I got thrown into what the original voice actors sound like.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

And it freaked me the fuck out so much better. Well, I couldn't tell what was going on because these were not the voices that I knew.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm like, who is talking right now?

[Eli Double Tap]

And then you're reading and trying to watch everything at the same time. Like, oh, I'm like, I'm literate, so

[Brandon Herrera]

that's not a problem. But like.

[Eli Double Tap]

But when you're like, I never even. I watch subs. Yeah, that's it. I will go back and watch some American Dove. I'm like, holy shit. I didn't. It's little things you'll just miss because. Oh, Hunter X Hunter.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

He goes into such detail with his fights where it's like, little on the screen. You're missing if you're reading and doing that at the same time. I was like, okay. Didn't know that.

[Tectone]

Fuck, it sucks. It's like what you experienced with Attack on Titan. I experienced with Hajime no Ippo because Eli put me on Hajime no Ippo watched English dub. Incredible.

[Brandon Herrera]

Could you say that, like, half speed?

[Tectone]

Hajime no Ippo, which I think means,

[Eli Double Tap]

like, boxing in the maze.

[Tectone]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

You told me to watch that one.

[Tectone]

Yeah, it's fucking. The English dub is great. I love it. And then it just stops and I just. I can't watch it anymore. I love the English dub so much. I literally can't. And it makes me so mad because Eli's like, dude, it gets insane. I'm like, that's great. It's not in English. I'm not reading that shit, bro.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's so good.

[Tectone]

I don't think I've watched and anime since that, by the way.

[Eli Double Tap]

Damn.

[Tectone]

Yeah. I have not watched anime in a very long time.

[Eli Double Tap]

You took a break?

[Tectone]

Yeah, I watched, like, Invincible. And then I'm just like. I just play cards. That's all I do all day is just fucking play cards.

[Brandon Herrera]

What's your game?

[Tectone]

Riftbound it's really good. It's really fun. Yeah, yeah. There's so much money, bro. It's insane. You know League of Legends, I know of it.

[Brandon Herrera]

I never played it.

[Tectone]

It's like the most successful MO of all time.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think that's why I still have hair. I've never played League of Legends. Accidental Burn, by the way.

[Tectone]

I know.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, Nick plays it too f huge in the league.

[Tectone]

He finally hit gold ring.

[Brandon Herrera]

There's a direct correlation between people that still have hair follicles in the front of their head and people who play

[Tectone]

Link of Legends, I would say, you know, I go on so much anti hair rants on my stream and I, you know, I can't do. Because you all have great hair.

[Brandon Herrera]

You do.

[Tectone]

Like, I'm just saying, like, when people

[Brandon Herrera]

try to on me is an anti hair rant.

[Tectone]

I think hair's for

[Brandon Herrera]

literally potentially.

[Tectone]

Think about it like, you're waking up in the morning and you're like, oh, hold up, I gotta fix my hair. Okay. What are you, a woman? You just roll out of bed? I bald, good to go. Let's get it. I'm out. I don't use no shampoo. Body wash, it's the same. I'm out the door in three minutes.

[Eli Double Tap]

Same. We still use the same shampoo.

[Tectone]

No, you don't. I know you use a conditioner.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like. No, no. It's like. It's the whole meme about, like, guys that you like, guys that do the. Oh, well, your shampoo is like. What's shampoo? Conditioner, body wash, motor oil, lubricant. Like, it's just like fucking 18 in one.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'll buy sandblasting compound.

[Tectone]

Like, oh, yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Use it on your sink, on your head.

[Tectone]

So like, when. When y' all shower hair havers, of course, you know, like, do you blow dry your hair?

[Brandon Herrera]

Sounds like a slur. No, I do not blow dry.

[Tectone]

Do you use any product at all? Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay.

[Tectone]

Come on. You know, and then that takes time, right?

[Brandon Herrera]

You gotta really. It's like a minute.

[Tectone]

Well, you were a hat.

[Brandon Herrera]

Literally, it. Well, today

[Eli Double Tap]

Cody lives with that hat on.

[Tectone]

Like, how. Think about it. Like, but with a hat, you know, you don't have to do any of this, but like, when you don't wear a hat and you got of a

[Brandon Herrera]

lot, like, you got to watch my hair care routine. Takes two minutes a day.

[Donut Operator]

Do the stuff and do that.

[Tectone]

Yeah, but that, that adds up.

[Brandon Herrera]

You could be watching one piece twice,

[Tectone]

two times five.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's ten minutes a week.

[Tectone]

That's what I'm.

[Brandon Herrera]

And then you just die on the weekends.

[Tectone]

One piece.

[Donut Operator]

Fifteen days.

[Eli Double Tap]

I can just wake up ten minutes early here.

[Tectone]

I don't know.

[Eli Double Tap]

My.

[Tectone]

My fiance, like, with her hair. Holy. It's like half an hour, 45 minutes a day.

[Eli Double Tap]

They have more.

[Tectone]

I know. And that's what I'm saying.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't get it, to be honest.

[Tectone]

I think everybody should be bald.

[Eli Double Tap]

Everybody is a strong word.

[Tectone]

More people should be bald. It's great. Bald by choice. I'm obviously bald by choice. I'm definitely not. I definitely didn't go.

[Brandon Herrera]

BBC. Big BBC fan fan over here.

[Tectone]

Huge. I remember when I first noticed my bald spot, I was like. I was devastated. I was like, oh, it's happening. I thought because I used to have hair like you. Believe it or not, that was my hair.

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Tectone]

Yes. I had that exact haircut when I was 24. Then I woke up, saw hair on my pillow, just happened. And I was like, oh, my God. And the worst thing was I was fat, too. I was super fat. You can't just be fat and bald. So I had to go to the gym.

[Donut Operator]

Choose a struggle.

[Tectone]

Yeah. First you have to go to the gym, and then you have to get tattoos because you can't just. You have to pick one. Otherwise. Otherwise you're just. You're weird. People are going to look at you if you're. You have to get a beard. You can't have. You can't be bald with no beard because then you look like you have cancer. You want to avoid that conversation. It's like, no, no, no.

[Eli Double Tap]

Why didn't you. You didn't do the struggle where it's like, it's there.

[Tectone]

Nope.

[Eli Double Tap]

I like what people hold on.

[Brandon Herrera]

They comb it forward.

[Eli Double Tap]

The dude way too long.

[Tectone]

Well, the asthma gold is his bad.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, it's pretty.

[Tectone]

God, I don't know.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'm not, like, looking at Asmod's head a whole time. Like, I wonder how his hairs do.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was that video he did the other day because he was on somebody's podcast, right?

[Tectone]

Yeah, he was on. I think he did Caleb. Well.

[Brandon Herrera]

He did Caleb Hammer.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think that's what it was. I didn't realize how bad it was.

[Tectone]

Yeah, no, it's horrible. I told him that every. For steak and eggs. I told him every day how awful it was.

[Brandon Herrera]

Love you, buddy. But that's. It's time. No, it's time.

[Tectone]

The thing is, Asmond is such a great guy. He's a very good dude. But, like, he's holding on to that hair way too long. Like, just shave your head. Go to the gym. Stone cold gold would go hard, as if he 100%.

[Brandon Herrera]

If he. If he just lost the fucking hair.

[Tectone]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

And then started working out like crazy. That that redemption arc would be absurd

[Tectone]

because, like, the thing is, like, whenever any of these people go after him, they go after his room. He's cleaned up the room. Nobody said shit about the room anymore. He's done now. They went after his teeth. He fixed his teeth. His teeth are almost good now.

[Brandon Herrera]

What's up with his teeth?

[Tectone]

Oh, disgusting.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, dude. Chipotle story was the worst thing I'd ever heard was.

[Tectone]

It was Chipotle.

[Eli Double Tap]

His teeth were rotting.

[Tectone]

Yes.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like, rotting. Rotting. He didn't understand that or thought it was, I guess, not that bad.

[Tectone]

Yes.

[Eli Double Tap]

And he would eat Chipotle, and he always just assumed that the Chipotle tasted weird. He gets his teeth fixed.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

And then he was like, holy shit, this Chipotle tastes amazing. Come to find out, it was the rotting teeth with the taste of his food.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, God.

[Tectone]

That's why Asmund doesn't drink water, because it would taste like what was in his mouth. And so he thought water just tasted bad.

[Donut Operator]

Bad.

[Tectone]

Right. It's even worse because, like, so his teeth would regularly just bleed. So he would put his hand in his mouth and wipe the blood on his walls as well.

[Brandon Herrera]

I heard that bit. That is insane.

[Tectone]

And then this one time, he was raiding in World of Warcraft, and his teeth really hurt, and so he didn't want to stop mid fight, so he grabbed pliers and he pulled out his own teeth.

[Brandon Herrera]

Routine. Like, gum bleeding is one thing. Yeah, but, like, the natural instinct to rub it on a wall instead of, I don't know, Napkin.

[Tectone]

I would love to do it.

[Eli Double Tap]

Six months of just, let's get him jacked as.

[Tectone]

Listen, man, I've been a firm advocate that asthma girl needs to come on Yalls podcast. And, you know, I mean, not after this conversation.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think we'd love to have him. Like, seriously, he's right down the road.

[Tectone]

He is the man.

[Brandon Herrera]

We would come to him.

[Tectone]

Such a good dude. Yeah, we.

[Brandon Herrera]

We would actually just set up a podcast in his room.

[Tectone]

You know what would be easier? So he has a podcast called All Graphics. Which camp. Great guy. One of y' all should just go on, show him that everything's okay.

[Brandon Herrera]

And then we kidnap him.

[Tectone]

Exactly. And then just grab him. Right. Just do his podcast for All Craft, and then y' all do an episode together out there.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's what you should Do Snagman Gold.

[Tectone]

Exactly.

[Brandon Herrera]

Fucking grab him.

[Tectone]

Yeah, y' all need to meet Rich, too. Rich is amazing. Great.

[Brandon Herrera]

People never heard of him.

[Tectone]

Oh, he's the man. Rich Campbell. Fucking awesome. Yeah. One of the best showmans of all time. Great speaker. Horribly addicted to Gotcha Games.

[Brandon Herrera]

Also, for anybody who has mysophonia. I'm so sorry. I just chewed ice directly into the m. Microphone.

[Tectone]

That's another word you made up. Just like insect concert. Wait, no, that's the real word. What's that word you said that wasn't a real word? Indiscriminately.

[Brandon Herrera]

Indiscriminately.

[Tectone]

You said that you weren't sure if it was. I'm like, halfway hammer, and I'm a lightweight, by the way.

[Brandon Herrera]

Indiscriminately. You know, one of those words you

[Tectone]

made up by the government? The government making up these words.

[Brandon Herrera]

De. Incentivization.

[Tectone]

That's the one. Yeah. Yeah. You're close, but, yeah, y' all should do that. I feel like that's the highest chance. Like, y' all need to talk, man. It's been so long. I mean, we talked about this.

[Brandon Herrera]

The last time he covered some of the Tony stuff, when that was first breaking. I think he covered my video on breaking down, like, the. Because I waited on that forever, man. Because, you know, I didn't want to be able to. I didn't want to come forward and say something too early where, like, there wasn't actual proof. And then I look like an.

[Tectone]

Of course. Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

But as soon as it was 100 confirmed.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Beyond a shadow of a doubt. And he was still lying about it. That's what I'm just like, all right.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

And. And Asmund covered that, and he. He did a great job. He called Tony a retard. Good.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's wild. Did you ever gaslight yourself, like. Or him gaslight you? And like, maybe this is fake, because that's always. Those hard ones when they're doubling down, it's like it's faking. You think? Okay, did I talk to the liar about this?

[Brandon Herrera]

Honestly? No.

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay.

[Brandon Herrera]

Because. Well, and here's for a weird reason, because there were times where I was wondering. I'm like, man, I. This is so out there. Maybe it's not real. Right. But every time he opened his mouth regarding that immediately, anybody who knows anything about just body language communication, I was. Every time he opened his mouth, like, oh, this motherfucker is so guilty. Like, the. You really should play, like, if. If we got the clip here. When KSAT confronted him, Daniela Ibarra shouts out great reporter. Went to him at like a Veterans Day event and he just melts. She's. Well, we've been trying to contact your office. We contacted you 16 times. You never replied about the death of Regina. We hate to come to you here. And he just. This is Veterans Day. You should be talking about veteran stuff.

[Tectone]

Are we pick up some backlog?

[Brandon Herrera]

No, but really we would like to ask you about. We're here for San Houston. Like play the clip. Seriously, it's absurd. Are you talking about veteran stuff? If you should. If you're not, you should be talking about.

[Tectone]

It's a beautiful.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's a beautiful Veterans Day here in San Antonio. Please, please to ask multiple newes, is there any response you have to that. We're here at Fort Sam. We're at Fort Sam unit at ceremony. Please have some respect.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Just because he doubled down very hard and then he.

[Brandon Herrera]

He lost the ability to speak the English language. Once confronted with. It was wild.

[Eli Double Tap]

I just like how fast it went from we're taking a step back, I'm reevaluating, I'm retiring or I dropped out of the race to resigning completely because that was like a two week.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was a. It was a. I think roughly a four day process from. Brandon Herrera is a liar and a piece of shit. He made all this up. This is political slander to losing the election that night because we beat him by like 900 votes or whatever it was to okay, I did it and everything's truthful. But the husband's gay. That's why she herself like straight up. Like that was his answer to I think like the day after lost leadership support and then the day after he. He stepped down.

[Eli Double Tap]

That was the second story came out though, right?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, I think it was like a month later because all the Eric Swalwell stuff. Because Eric Swalwell's, you know, obviously it just. He's an actual. Like he's. Which one say the Democratic congressman that we did like it was like a horse trade. Like the Republicans and Democrats both like lost a sex passed. Which you know, objectively a good thing.

[Tectone]

I hate how you have to clarify that he's an actual. Because those words get thrown around so much like where it's like are they. I hate the politics lie.

[Brandon Herrera]

Politics now is just like anybody I don't like is a. Oh yeah, of course it's getting a little irritating because it actually. It takes away from people who actually kids and it's. That's.

[Tectone]

It hurts the victims. The Most.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, it's, it's irritating because like I'm obviously like one of the bigger proponents to like, okay, feet first wood chipper. Like if you're. I don't care who you are. Like, literally nobody gets protection in my eyes. Okay, so you are caught on. Like if you are 100 guilty, like you are children.

[Tectone]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Feet first in a wood chipper, that's okay.

[Tectone]

So that's actually great because I, I haven't been able to get a straight answer out of anybody for this. So this like just happened like two, three days ago. There's these two transgenders and they have confirmed at the same time a 7 year old female child. Why are they in jail and not just beheaded publicly?

[Brandon Herrera]

So it's depending. Well, I think that's pretty much universally true that it's a non capital crime. So it's just jail time.

[Tectone]

That makes no sense to me.

[Eli Double Tap]

I didn't know it was a non capital.

[Tectone]

I can't believe a child.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, you can't be executed for that. I don't think. No, you should be, frankly.

[Eli Double Tap]

I mean in a lot of places it is a light lenient. It's a slap on the wrist compared to a lot of you're like, whoa, that's way worse. And then it's like, well, they did their one year, three years at least

[Brandon Herrera]

in the United States, what I'm talking about. But like, so that's, that's the shit that drives me crazy is that like certain times you'll hear that this person gets convicted of a. Right, like a very brutal. They'll get seven years in jail. But the penalty for owning an SBR without a tax stamp is 10 years in prison. Prison. What the Committing no violent crimes, but just owning an AR15 that's perfectly legal with a barrel that's an inch too short will get you more prison time than in certain instances. That's absurd,

[Eli Double Tap]

dude.

[Tectone]

I just don't get it, bro.

[Eli Double Tap]

We just found, I mean like a year or a month or two ago, I didn't realize like anyone can be a judge essentially. I thought it was a lawyer and a lot of things, not just a voting, hey, you're a judge now. Have fun, bro.

[Brandon Herrera]

Have you ever had to deal with judges like that?

[Donut Operator]

That. Oh yeah, 100%. The one judge I dealt with the most was like that. Not, not an attorney, didn't have a law background, just worked at the city and was appointed as the judge there to decide what happens with criminals.

[Eli Double Tap]

So it's just feel goods like I feel this way today. And this is Max. That's.

[Donut Operator]

Well, that's how I course or something. But it wasn't an attorney or never worked as a judge before, Never practiced

[Brandon Herrera]

law, never was in a courtroom.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, pretty much.

[Tectone]

Yeah. People don't realize that there are a lot of cases that get completely judged by. Well, I feel this way. Oh, yeah. I mean, like, what is the word? A preponderance of evidence, as I believe is what they need. Which means they need to be 51% sure that they maybe did it and then that can fuck you for the rest of your life. So if you get an activist judge in a liberal county and you're like a conservative man, you're pretty much just. It's bad.

[Eli Double Tap]

Rich pointed that out. We talked about on kind of. But it was one judge up there that was all the batch. It didn't matter. But then I didn't realize also, judges can't be held accountable. No, there's. What's the law? They're. They're not allowed to be held any of that. Yeah, Judge can't.

[Tectone]

Well, it's. It's like, you know, another judge, like, killer was a repeat offender. I believe. I believe what was. You probably know about me. What, 24 time repeat offender.

[Donut Operator]

Which one?

[Tectone]

You know, Zaruska, the white Ukrainian who was seeking refuge in the United States, got killed by the black guy on the metro right after Charlie Kirk.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, yeah, yeah, the little white girl.

[Tectone]

Yeah, the white girl who got stabbed on the train was like a black dude and he was like a repeat offender like 24 times. And he kept on being let go over and over and over and over again.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yes. The dx.

[Tectone]

Yeah. It's crazy.

[Eli Double Tap]

Absolute judicial immunity. So they all have that.

[Donut Operator]

That's ridiculous.

[Tectone]

Yep.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's the thing where it's wild when you're like, whoa, you didn't study law do anything. You just got appointed this. And now you get to hand out that judgment. And if you're extremely lenient like that case. Oh, hey, don't worry about it. Yep, it's fucking nuts. Instead of, hey, you let that person out, they committed a crime.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, they should.

[Eli Double Tap]

Then you should be held accountable. That was on.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's the, that's the shitty part. Like, because you have all these people that like, oh, we need new laws. Oh, the. You know, crime's so bad in the city and they don't realize it's like, it's these judges and DAs that, you know, this guy's held up a guns or a liquor store at gunpoint four times. Like oh, well, we'll let him out. 30 days community service, and then he fucking kills somebody.

[Eli Double Tap]

Most violent crimes, it's like a 60% recidivism. Yeah. Which is wild when you think about that. I'm like, oh, that's a real. That's a big risk to take on. Maybes like you do have your one offs. Like, I mean, jd. JD turned his and. But it's extreme rarity. And he held himself accountable. Accountable. And even then he told the story. He's like, I almost went up and was like, oh, we can get out of this one. And then instead he. He went up to the Dutch. I. I'm guilty of this. I just. Here's my options. I'm hoping for this, but I want to hold. I want to be accountable for my.

[Brandon Herrera]

Exactly.

[Eli Double Tap]

Coming and visit soon.

[Tectone]

I want to meet that guy.

[Eli Double Tap]

He's great.

[Tectone]

He's so fucking cool.

[Brandon Herrera]

He's coming down, dude.

[Tectone]

Every Twitter post I post, he's like, yeah, dude, what this guy fucking said. I'm like, Bro, J.D. you're so cool.

[Brandon Herrera]

J.D. is definitely one of those guys where he's like. He gets wound up with us. He's just like, who we up today?

[Tectone]

I love people like that, bro. Homie is so good.

[Eli Double Tap]

He's a ride or die.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

This piece of shit.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Why do we hate him?

[Tectone]

It's the best dude we had.

[Eli Double Tap]

I will just. The fight was amazing this week. We had a blast at the fight.

[Tectone]

What fight?

[Brandon Herrera]

Sean Strickland versus Kamayev Chimaev.

[Tectone]

Y' all went to that?

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, well, we watched it. Local.

[Tectone]

Okay.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. The bar we were in was just as soon as Sean was announced as the winner. It went ape, dude.

[Eli Double Tap]

They were chanting America even to USA during the fight. It was just. And they look like they wanted to kill each other on the. The walkout. Him just staring at him like he's a meal.

[Brandon Herrera]

They had like 18 dudes in between them the entire time.

[Eli Double Tap]

Just everyone was like, hey, we're keeping each other back. And then when they finally went at it, it was a war.

[Brandon Herrera]

They had like bouncers there blocking their eyelines. It was wild.

[Eli Double Tap]

And then they went apeshit. When it was. Because it was a good ass fight. It was two. Two. And then the last one could have went either way. Me and Brandon were like.

[Brandon Herrera]

Because we had a lot of money on that.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was like, please say new. That's all I care for. I just want to hear new world champions.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

The man. It was a great fight, though, because I was worried, you know, because all the like the Dagestanis, like, the White Muslims, and, like, they always want to take to the ground. And, like, I understand that's becoming, like, a meta within ufc. It's so boring to watch. I like, stand up fighting, like, striking. Like, that's.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah. I think Strickland said, I don't like wrestling because it's gay. I said that in an interview the other day.

[Brandon Herrera]

Sounds like something Sean would say.

[Tectone]

Dude, you should try boxing, because it's kind of just like. Just that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, I should try that.

[Eli Double Tap]

Strickland, though, now, he is known for one of the best jabs they actually complimented. Like, he's probably one of the best jabs in the ufc because that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Because he was.

[Eli Double Tap]

Homie was just fucking tagging.

[Brandon Herrera]

He staggered him on a jab, I thought, right, yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, he just kept hitting him and hitting him.

[Tectone]

Yeah. I don't think people get, like, how devastating a good jab is. You will just box if you have better reach and you have a good jab, use win. Yeah, it's over. So good.

[Brandon Herrera]

Even without better reach.

[Tectone]

Yep.

[Eli Double Tap]

Slight head movement.

[Tectone]

Bro's different.

[Eli Double Tap]

And, I mean, that's how Braden won. Y knocked the dude out with the jab.

[Brandon Herrera]

And I know we. We've told this like, a billion times. Everybody that, you know, you, Tony, like the. The trainer, everybody was like, oh, yeah, you'll never knock anybody out on a jab. Like, a jab's important, but you'll never knock anybody out on a jab. Like, third round knockout on the jab. I still do want to have him on the podcast. I think that'd be a lot of fun.

[Tectone]

James, was that. Was that, like your. Was that, like, your ego moment? Like, everybody has an ego moment. Like, is that, like, something that you really like?

[Brandon Herrera]

When my life flashes before my eyes when I'm dying, like, that'll be in the top 20. Yeah, it was fun. That was just as a great experience for me.

[Tectone]

My big ego moment was when I was in eighth grade, you know, Y' all remember dodgeball? Yeah, dude. I was the kid where, like, whatever, teach, whatever side, whichever team the teacher was on, I had to be on the other team because I was huge when I was a kid. So I was always like, oh, Mr. Klug's on this team, so, John, you gotta be on the other team. And I'm like, oh, my God, I'm so cool. I remember that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Dodgeball was fun as.

[Tectone]

I miss it, dude. I wish there was more creator events where it was like, actually just dodgeball, dodgeball and kickball. Are this. They're so good.

[Brandon Herrera]

Because I was never like very. I was never good at sports, like, kind of thing. Like I played soccer and I played like varsity baseball.

[Tectone]

Okay, but did you ever apply yourself to try to be good at sports?

[Brandon Herrera]

I mean, kind of like not, not. Not really put everything into it. But I was always like. When it came to like PE Time, I was always good at dodgeball and kickball. Those were.

[Tectone]

Because those are the ones where you like, if you're just naturally good, like if you're a jack of all trades, you will just own people.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think it's cuz. It's combative.

[Tectone]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Not kickball necessarily, but.

[Tectone]

Yeah, but it's like, it's because the barrier to entry is very low. So people who haven't practiced can still just be freaks at it naturally. Because you don't really need to know too much. Kickball. Kick the ball.

[Brandon Herrera]

Ball.

[Tectone]

Right. Like, it's a very different between kicking a ball that's rolled to you versus now hit this ball with a stick that's coming at you at 90 miles an hour. Like it's way different. But yeah, dodgeball is very much like how much price you need to do to just peg somebody like that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Unless it's just fun. Did you have like the actual like dodgeball dodgeballs? You had the foam.

[Tectone]

I had the ones that went. You know that noise. Like the dodgeballs only make the.

[Brandon Herrera]

The. The rubber.

[Tectone]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, yeah. They. They took those out of my. My middle school before we. Yeah, it was really gay.

[Donut Operator]

I was in like. I think we got to like the eighth grade and they took them away and they, they replaced them with the foam ones.

[Tectone]

Those just don't. They don't work.

[Donut Operator]

No. They don't break people's noses.

[Brandon Herrera]

They also don't travel right. They like.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, they go all over the world.

[Tectone]

That was always so lame. Or like in dodgeball, if you like hit a girl in the face, then you get out, it's like, what the.

[Brandon Herrera]

Really?

[Tectone]

This is not how it went for y'.

[Brandon Herrera]

All. No, we did not have that rule.

[Tectone]

Oh yeah. If you. So if you hit a boy in the face. Face. But if you were a boy and you hit a girl in the face with a dodgeball, you were out. Like, you got out. And I'm like, are you kidding me?

[Brandon Herrera]

We would.

[Donut Operator]

We would aim for the girls first. Down with the weakling.

[Brandon Herrera]

Soon I was.

[Tectone]

I was the kid.

[Eli Double Tap]

Cody, she's on your team.

[Tectone]

Pick them all. Turning around and pelting like if you had a cannon. Like I was the kid where the smaller kids were like, john, take this ball and throw it for me. I'm like, oh, yeah,

[Brandon Herrera]

we have a Hulk.

[Tectone]

Yeah. Oh, man, I miss those days, man.

[Brandon Herrera]

The dreadnought has entered the battlefield.

[Eli Double Tap]

I like Brandon's idea of us doing duels.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

I want to do that as a gang. Does we get. Fuck. I didn't respond to that.

[Eli Double Tap]

Take guns.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, real guns.

[Eli Double Tap]

Real guns.

[Brandon Herrera]

So I'm training real hard, but it's like. Like black. Black powder. Like the dueling pistols, but. So they used to do this back in the day. This was kind of like airsoft before it was airsoft. Airsoft. Oh, wax bullets. Wax projectiles.

[Donut Operator]

Oh, we're gonna do it with wax projectiles.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

That's gonna hurt.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yep. It's basically. Well, it's maybe not airsoft. It was more like paintball, but that's

[Donut Operator]

what sim rounds are. It's like wax pellets with a little bit of paint in them.

[Eli Double Tap]

Pretty much, we can do sim. We just get some sin rounds, and

[Brandon Herrera]

then I think we should do real dueling pistols.

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay.

[Tectone]

Have you Battle Royale yet? Feel like house? Like a Battle Royale event?

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Tectone]

Why wouldn't you? Why would you not do that? Oh, like, just, like, everybody runs.

[Brandon Herrera]

That would be fun.

[Tectone]

With sim, you do it like Mario Kart style, where you have three balloons on your back, and then if somebody pops three balloons and you're out.

[Brandon Herrera]

Now let's just fucking shoot people.

[Tectone]

Okay. Kill them. If you're dead, you're out.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, I mean, like, you know what simulation is, right?

[Tectone]

No.

[Brandon Herrera]

So simulation, you use, like, real guns, but there's, like, conversion kits and.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Where it shoots, like. I think it's like, compressed gas, but it's an actual projectile. It's like a plastic tip.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's gunpowder.

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, well, yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

To propol, though. Fucking.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think there's. There's some that do gas, though.

[Eli Double Tap]

We didn't have that option. Ours is like, I've told the story, but it's what we used to train with. Entering and clearing. When a Seattle SWAT came to train with us, and that's how they shot each other. We're like, what the fuck? But Cylin, he was OP4, and every time he would go, you'd hear them entering his room. It was. You'd hear, oh, no. And then ba, ba, ba, ba, ba. Him screaming. And then he'd come out just covered in welts. But he was out for the entire day.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah.

[Donut Operator]

That's what I had to do before I went to Bud's and I was in the new useless guy program. Like me and some of the other dudes wanted to be super sweet Navy Seals we were opt for all day for like a week every month. And it was the devgru guys that we would have to fight too. Which is in fucking possible to win again. So that was really fun.

[Brandon Herrera]

I used to do that for on Fort Bragg like in the summers. I was probably legally too young. Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

Yep.

[Brandon Herrera]

But like I. Yeah, nobody. I always looked older. So like nobody gave a shit. But for like a little extra money it was like a couple hundred bucks a day or like. No, like a hundred bucks a day, 200 bucks a day I would do OP4 shit. So either like running OP4 as like a terrorist for the guys that were training or doing the. At one point it was like the graduation test or whatever for some of the Army. Army medical.

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay.

[Brandon Herrera]

So they'd give a scenario like one of the scenarios. I think I could talk about this. I didn't sign. I was a minor. Done. It was like the Fort Bragg fair had a dirty bomb or whatever. And so it was like a. An after action. Like you're deployed to the scene after a dirty bomb was deployed. And it was like 20 of us out in the field like all up. They had like prosthetic like bolts coming out of our arms and like that. Then you know they cut your clothes off and figure out how to solve your. You know, address your wounds and like that. Then they run you back through.

[Eli Double Tap]

So like glovo response. Okay. We need you to like literally tourniquets. Okay. These guys are priority. I haven't done that in of a lot. Long ass time.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, it was, it was cool. Like as a way to make money in the summer.

[Tectone]

Looks like that would hurt.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's neat.

[Eli Double Tap]

Cody, you've been hit with the blue sim rod, right.

[Donut Operator]

100 times. They suck.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like airsoft and paintball feel fantastic compared to those.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, we do that any day it leaves.

[Tectone]

Oh yeah, that don't sound fun.

[Eli Double Tap]

Cuz your airsoft and everything travels like 300ft per second. Those travel at 5 to 600 and

[Brandon Herrera]

they're just harder too.

[Donut Operator]

They suck.

[Eli Double Tap]

You know when you get hit.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah.

[Tectone]

So what is it? What does a bullet travel at?

[Brandon Herrera]

Aren't they like wax or something? Aren't they anywhere between like a thousand to three thousand per second?

[Eli Double Tap]

Huge difference.

[Tectone]

Yeah, that is a huge difference actually

[Eli Double Tap]

if we did a whole. I love a survival. Get a whole bunch of people, multiple

[Tectone]

teams, 40 people and then make a team and then do Battle Royale.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, I wish we still had Timos Pro. That's the property to do that with on. And you have. You all start with guns and then you have.

[Tectone]

Yeah, you drop loot boxes.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yep.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, God.

[Tectone]

Why would you not do that?

[Brandon Herrera]

There's like a saw in the middle of the map.

[Tectone]

Plush towards it.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's. It's got a 100 round belt of Simos already in it. Like, we could do this. We have all the guns, like 10

[Eli Double Tap]

teams running up and they see each other's like it go. Just everyone's running at each other for the.

[Tectone]

That gun.

[Eli Double Tap]

Shooting at each other because they're accurate up to 30ft. 30ft. They're spot on.

[Brandon Herrera]

Handgun or rifle?

[Eli Double Tap]

Handgun. I don't know about rifle.

[Brandon Herrera]

Rifle.

[Eli Double Tap]

I figured better, but I feel like,

[Tectone]

like, you know, for the. Obviously for the. For the conduct perspective, just having balloons above you is best for visual.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, no, trust me. You'll know if you're hit with like.

[Tectone]

But will the viewer know?

[Brandon Herrera]

It's a paint marker.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

But you. You'll also know because the person will scream,

[Tectone]

oh, my God.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Tectone]

Jesus Christ.

[Eli Double Tap]

Whereas, you know, people don't call their shots in airsoft. Like, yeah, fucking not the case.

[Tectone]

Stop shooting because. 1, 2, 3, 4.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just. Oh, just get like a three round burst.

[Tectone]

It's like, I'm hit. Stop it, please.

[Eli Double Tap]

We need to do that. That's a really good idea.

[Brandon Herrera]

I would love to remember we did that. That shoot house with an undisclosed person.

[Tectone]

That's just bad. That looks, I mean, like. I don't know, man. How much. How much worse can a bullet be, to be honest? Like, that's.

[Donut Operator]

You are supposed to tell that story.

[Brandon Herrera]

Wait, did you.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, maybe.

[Eli Double Tap]

Which one?

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't remember if we ever told

[Donut Operator]

it, but yeah, it wasn't bad.

[Tectone]

Which one?

[Donut Operator]

There's. Yeah, they got a little cocky.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Donut Operator]

That's funny.

[Brandon Herrera]

We did a shoot house with. There was an influencer and, and their teammate, and me and Cody was like. It was with thermals, like with the. I don't. I don't remember what. What guns we were using. It wasn't. It wasn't Simmos, but it was.

[Donut Operator]

It was just airsoft, wasn't it?

[Brandon Herrera]

It was something like that. Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

So it was.

[Donut Operator]

It was gel blasters.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, but it was like the ones that like, kind of hurt, but like, not really. Everybody's hammered, but they. It was. Everybody had thermal, so. So. But it was at night, so like it was in a tent and there was a bunch of like, obstacles and it was like this big like circus tent sort of thing. And so me and Cody just immediately treated that shit. Fucking seriously moving.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, we're gonna beat your ass. We're gonna beat your ass. I think we came around the corner and both of them just took several to the face.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like left, right. All right.

[Eli Double Tap]

Violence of action.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was a great. But it was fun. It was a fun time.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, good times.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's how people don't realize in that situation how much of a difference it makes being super aggressive. Because they're like, okay, we're turning this first corner and there can be like 10 corners separating when these guys are already on corner eight. And you're like, okay, we can still bet. And then they turn around the corner and just get lit up like, oh, we. They ran towards us to kill us. It's like a hundred percent. A hundred percent.

[Tectone]

When was the last time you wanted like a big like creator event?

[Brandon Herrera]

Range Day, I think last November.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, Vegas.

[Tectone]

You do another one. We are doing but doing here and make it battle Royale. Like, why would you not. There's a shoot.

[Eli Double Tap]

Is there a way to do it with the range day? I don't know if they have shoot house actually.

[Brandon Herrera]

Maybe because so we were doing them in. We did last time anyway. It was in staccato Vegas. And so they do have like shoot house kind of shit. But it's not force on force. So maybe if we did, we, they. We could talk to them about that. I think we're about to have a

[Tectone]

meeting with them, Get a couple drones, put that shit in the sky, record dope as fuck.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh yeah, that'd be good.

[Brandon Herrera]

The liability would be crazy because.

[Donut Operator]

Yeah, you'd have to have a huge separation between shooting side.

[Brandon Herrera]

I wouldn't want a whiny influencer. Well, they just don't invite. Pitch about getting a fucking bruise.

[Tectone]

You just don't invite. It's that easy. Like, you know, like.

[Eli Double Tap]

And they just have to sign that paper and then do a video showing like, I understand what I'm getting into.

[Brandon Herrera]

I may be shot.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yep.

[Tectone]

Yeah, don't. Don't invite any women because if you do, then people are gonna be weird if you shoot them. So you gotta invite like just a bunch of fat ugly guys because then nobody will feel bad if you get shot or get hurt.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, I mean,

[Tectone]

I'm fat ugly guy. I want to.

[Brandon Herrera]

You don't want to like disinvite someone from range day entirely because you're going to do a shoot house. But I mean, we need to make it abundantly you could be shot with a. With simunition.

[Tectone]

As a guy who used to do a ton of streaming events, there are ones like, when physical violence is involved. I was like, dude, if we have a girl on this and she gets hurt, like, it's just over.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's a bad look.

[Tectone]

Yeah. Or like, I mean, I remember. Oh, my God, this was so bad.

[Brandon Herrera]

I just like twitchcon with the foam pit hole.

[Tectone]

Holy.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's.

[Tectone]

Dude, that was crazy. You know, like your tailbone being split by jumping on a phone. But that's bad.

[Eli Double Tap]

Also wild when you had to walk out to that and understand. I'd be like, man, this is. I would be walking to that stage and be like, man, this is not much foam.

[Tectone]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

My brain said I should jump on this.

[Donut Operator]

I just remember it happening. And there. Someone told me, like, a star blew her back out.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Tectone]

Yeah. That's what they did. That's one of the worst hate throws.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's why I'm here.

[Tectone]

It's one of the worst hate threads I ever got was I was playing soccer for the old esports org and, you know, a girl came at me and tried to challenge me for the ball. And so they kicked the ball. I don't move because I'm huge, and they, like, twist their ankle, and I didn't even do anything. It was like, Tectone kicked the fuck out of this girl. I was like, bro, watch the clip. I just do nothing.

[Eli Double Tap]

You dropped the big leg on.

[Tectone]

It's like the whole coca.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. Mr. Tech, where can the amazing people find you still to this day?

[Tectone]

YouTube. YouTube, tech tone and everything. Rumble for streams, YouTuber videos, and then Twitter for PvP is good. That's later. After I fall off, Tectone gets back, blown out. It's about TwitchCon.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, he went that route.

[Brandon Herrera]

Jumps into a foam pit. You do love BBC, apparently.

[Tectone]

I do. I do. Oh, my God, that reminds me. No, I lost. I have to tell that story later. Is there a Patreon episode? Yeah, okay. I'm gonna tell a BBC story afterwards.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, God.

[Tectone]

Oh, my God.

[Donut Operator]

Sweet.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Tectone]

Vtuber and the secret BBC allegations. Oh, my God. It's so retarded.

[Eli Double Tap]

Cody closes out. You see?

[Tectone]

Son of a. Hi, everyone.

[Donut Operator]

Thank you for joining the unsubscribe podcast. I was joined today by Eli Double Tap, techtone, Brandon Herrera, myself, donut operator. Thank you so much for being here.

angry ball of fire on mute.

[Brandon Herrera]

Columbia's Omnishade technology is engineered to protect you from the sun's harsh rays that can burn and damage your skin.

[Eli Double Tap]

The sun is relentless, but so is our gear.

[Eli Double Tap]

You're welcome, Columbia.

[Tectone]

Engineered for whatever.
