Noteworthy Threads & Recurring Gags

• Merch plug-ins (with the hosts frequently derailing each other’s sales pitches with inside jokes and mockery)
• Gaslighting and Psyops: the ongoing gang plan to drive a friend nuts with invented memories
• Obsession with Roosters: Key West’s feral chickens (“they’re protected, you can’t even fuck with them!”)

• Daily Struggles: failing toilets, overwhelming travel, and the burdens of influencer “dad life”

---

Tone and Flavor

• Irreverent, Darkly Funny, Unfiltered: The group’s jokes and asides push boundaries, particularly as they riff off military and law enforcement experience.
• Affectionate and Sincere: Despite relentless roasting, the group’s real sense of camaraderie and respect (especially for veterans and guests) comes through.
• Meta and Self-Parodying: The hosts frequently break the fourth wall, refer to themselves as “degenerate morons,” and delight in recursive inside jokes.

Summary Takeaway

Despite its unfiltered, free-wheeling nature, this Veterans Month episode is a heartfelt celebration of the military community, the importance of real charity, and the value of sharing wild, underappreciated history. Whether they're supporting veteran causes, hatching elaborate pranks, marveling at WWII ingenuity, or swapping fight stories, the Unsubscribe gang delivers equal parts absurdity and insight—with enough context and wit for newcomers to jump right in.

I'm joined today by Eli, Double tap fat electrician, Brandon Herrera, myself, donut operator. Thank you so much for being here. We wanted to do just a kind of host episode because we have our live show, our first one coming up in San Antonio day after tomorrow.

[Nick]

Universe, lend me a little bit of your racism.

[Eli]

It's a giant ball to hit it.

[Cody]

At the perfect time.

[Eli]

Giant ball of bicycles coming at me on a plane.

[Nick]

Jesus Christ. None of this matters anymore. YouTube's down. We all have to go back to work.

[Cody]

Anyways, five minutes before we jumped on here, we found out YouTube's down.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Eli]

Oh, I'm good. Thank you. Give me that sugar rush. This is our veterans episode, because this month is Veterans Month, so naturally. Well, we are all here veterans, each and every one of us, minus one me.

[Brandon Herrera]

But it's not going away, is it?

[Eli]

What?

[Cody]

You mean this month isn't some made up commie gobbledygook.

[Eli]

No, no.

[Cody]

Okay.

[Eli]

Technically, we did make Veterans Month. It's supposed to be one day.

[Cody]

Yeah.

[Eli]

We just raised money the entire time. So. You'll see the shirts. I don't know what they are yet. We have not came up with any designs for Veterans Month yet.

[Brandon Herrera]

But they will be on the screen.

[Nick]

Yes, we did.

[Eli]

Did we? I have them done. What is it the veterans?

[Nick]

Chat. We're cooked.

[Brandon Herrera]

We're like the ugly chick getting asked to prom after the hot chick got hit by a car.

[Nick]

Don't mind me. I'm just seeing how many continuing education credits I have to get before December to keep my electrician's license for no reason in particular.

[Eli]

Like, oh, this is not good.

[Cody]

I'm selling crack.

[Nick]

This is my 9 11. Okay. I have to go back to work.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, my God. Well, it's been a while. I know. We. That's like. The meme is like, every. Every time we do this, it's like. Well, it's been a while since we did a gang episode, but it literally has been.

[Eli]

Yeah, I mean, we did. You weren't even here when we did Cody's.

[Nick]

I haven't been here since last time. Brandon still wasn't a congressman.

[Brandon Herrera]

And you'll be here the next.

[Eli]

You got a gang tattoo.

[Nick]

Yeah, that's true. So did Brandon. Brandon got his first tattoo.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, I think we talked about that on the. I don't know when these podcasts are going up.

[Nick]

How was it? How did it feel?

[Brandon Herrera]

Not bad.

[Nick]

How was your first time?

[Brandon Herrera]

It's. They went gentle.

[Nick]

Were they gentle?

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Good.

[Brandon Herrera]

They went easy.

[Nick]

Was it in the back seat of a car?

[Brandon Herrera]

Not A lot of blood.

[Nick]

No, that's good.

[Eli]

When they hit his tenant, you got to watch his face change instantly.

[Nick]

Yeah, it was attendant is like a piano wire.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like it was fine. Yeah. Until they hit the tendon. It was just like. Yeah, this is. This is. Well, you know, that's not great.

[Nick]

Have you ever seen. I think it's called like 124 hours or whatever. It's a based on real life. It's a movie. I think it's Franco where he's like, the climber gets like. He gets like his arms stuck behind a. A rock or something. Has to cut his own arm off. And when he's like in the movie, when he's cutting his arm off, he's like doing pretty good. Like, ah. And then he gets to the tendon and it's just like, oh, yeah.

[Eli]

The nerve.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Eli]

Oh, he gets. And have you read the book? No. Brother in Christ. He describes that. He's like, yeah, so it was dead. I was feeling it was dead because he'd been there for five days or something stupid at that point. He was there for many days hoping someone would find him.

[Brandon Herrera]

And then. Well, yeah, I mean, hoping. Like cutting your arm off isn't plan A. Yeah. He was there for 18 minutes.

[Eli]

It's like, well, what's the first thing you think he did? He's like, well, I'm gonna have to break these bones in order.

[Nick]

So I watch Discovery Channel. You gotta drink your own piss.

[Eli]

Well, he did do that.

[Nick]

Yeah. See? Knew it. Bear, girls. That's what's up.

[Eli]

He would lean back and forth until he heard both bones snap. Because he's like, I can't cut through the bone, so I'm just had to break my forearm bones. So he heard both of them snap. And then he just started cutting. And he waited to actually cut the nerves because he was cutting through. He seen a white thing, he touched it. An instant, just fucking pain. So he's like, oh, I don't cut around all the muscle. And then boom. Just cut through the giant nerves at the last step. And then walked back for I think it was like 10 miles or 12 miles. He had tourniqueted it earlier, like a day before. And then on the walk.

[Brandon Herrera]

Okay, so he intentionally killed it.

[Eli]

Yeah, he's like, it's dead. Don't give a shit. On the walk back at the 10 mile mark, couple's walking towards him. He's like, I need help. And they're like, are you okay?

[Brandon Herrera]

Are you sure?

[Eli]

He's like, I'm the guy that's lost. I'm like, who? He's like, I'm. And they're like, holy, he's missing an arm. Then they went, grabbed a helicopter, or they ran back, got a helicopter and they airlifted him out. Or he might actually walk the last. Forget that part. But yeah, wild ass story. It's like off. Also he. The lesson he learned was, next time I leave, I'm going to text and tell people where I'm at instead of just disappearing into the wild.

[Nick]

Different strategies. Don't go outside for fun.

[Cody]

There's a. Especially the ocean.

[Brandon Herrera]

The duality of what do you.

[Nick]

What do you want from me? All of mankind has been like, man, outside kind of sucks. We should build houses and castles and get away from this.

[Eli]

What was your tweet the other day? Going west. You get at that.

[Nick]

Oh, yeah. It never made sense to me. You know what I mean? You're like, oh, you're learning about manifest destiny and the gold rush and everybody migrating west and blah, blah. I'm like, so they were leaving, like Boston and Philadelphia with like cobblestone streets and street lights and plumbing and like modern amenities and shit, and just to go live in a log cabin and get fucking toothpicks shot at them by Native Americans and they're covered wagons for the rest of their lives.

[Eli]

Why?

[Nick]

Now that I'm 30, I'm like, I fucking get it. Never mind.

[Brandon Herrera]

Because Joseph Smith said so.

[Nick]

No, I'm just sick of people, honestly.

[Eli]

I'm like, dude, you still need to watch. If you haven't watched Prime American Primeval, so good.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's. It's on my list. I haven't seen it yet.

[Nick]

Dude.

[Eli]

So positive.

[Nick]

I finally, me and Hannah go to a movie every week for date night. Movies suck now.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was gonna say a movie every week is wild because you're. You're digging up like the bottom of the dumpster.

[Nick]

For sure. Like, movies suck now. The movie, the movie Roofman with Channing Tatum is the best movie I've seen in a long ass time.

[Brandon Herrera]

It looks so good.

[Nick]

It's so good. It's 100% based on real life. Spoiler alert if you don't want to hear about it. You guys good? It's. It's based on a real criminal called Roofman.

[Cody]

Okay?

[Nick]

And he would. He was like an ex 82nd Airborne guy that was just like hyper observant. Like he cat. Like he could. He could walk down a street and tell you how many houses had like chimneys and like that. And he figured out that fast food places didn't have their money picked up on the weekends. They had it all picked up from the whole weekend on Monday morning. So Sunday night, he would climb up on top of a fast food place with a hammer, beat through the roof, drop down into the restaurant, wait for the manager to show up with a gun. And then when the manager showed up, he'd have him unlock the safe. And then he'd make sure they put their coats on. And then he'd lock them in the fucking fridge. And then after like 15 minutes and he'd gotten away, he'd call 911 so they didn't freeze. And like everybody, everybody was like, he's super polite. Like one dude, the reason he got caught is because he gave his coat to a manager that didn't have one. Is how he ended up getting he.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, wow.

[Nick]

Knocked up 45 restaurants before they caught him. But they couldn't prove that he did the other 44. So what the DA did was he hit him on a kidnapping charge for the three employees that he locked in the fridge and got him put away for like 20 years. So then he's in prison for a minute, escapes, and he's like laying low. So he decides he's gonna go inside of a Toys R Us and live inside of one of the displays. And he spends six months living inside a Toys R Us display, slowly stealing video games and selling them to pawn shops until he waits till Christmas when all the money's coming in, and robs like a hundred thousand dollars from Toys R Us during the. On, like Christmas Eve. And then goes and buys like counterfeit papers to make it to Venezuela and shit. And they caught him like going to.

[Brandon Herrera]

The airport, so it almost worked.

[Nick]

Yeah. Like he was that close to getting away with it. It's a good ass movie.

[Cody]

It was Channing Tatum.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Cody]

Nice.

[Nick]

It's really good.

[Eli]

I need to watch that. When we talked, I don't want to say anything other than watch Weapons because I can't give. I just. I won't say anything because you just have to go in and just love that.

[Nick]

Weapons is just a creepy, sadistic horror movie. Yeah. With no deeper meaning. And everybody's like, is this about school shootings? Is this about this? Is this about. Is this an allegory for that? And he's like, nope, it's just creepy. Deal with it.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's just like Hemingway. It's like, the old man is an.

[Cody]

Old man, the sea is the C is the sea.

[Eli]

You just walk away from that movie like this. Holy.

[Cody]

Huh?

[Eli]

That hasn't Happened in a long ass time. I was like, okay, well that's it. I'm gonna. I'm gonna just tell people to watch it and then zero spoilers to just go watch that movie. I text Cody.

[Nick]

You know who the director is, right?

[Eli]

Yep.

[Nick]

Yeah. The whitest kids, you know.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yep, yep.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like Independence Fund.

[Eli]

Yeah, Independence Fund. Because she runs a really tight ship. She really gives a fuck about vets. Like truly.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's something that we've always been big at here too, is trying to figure out like, all right, do the research on the charity to make sure that a good portion of the proceeds are actually going to what it says it's going to. And not just these big charities that 80% of all of the money that they get goes toward marketing to get more money, you know, board, board of directors salaries, all this inflated dumb veteran non profit.

[Nick]

We actually let you fight horses. Never for solve ptsg.

[Eli]

You want to come fight horses with swords?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, I just thought of like Mongo from Blazing Saddles. Just punching a horse. You know what though?

[Cody]

There's a lot of veterans who would take up fighting horses with swords.

[Nick]

I get cured.

[Eli]

Man my rage like, well, that was cool.

[Brandon Herrera]

How does this cure ptsd? And they're like ptsd.

[Nick]

Elmer's glues got a veteran made stamp on some of their products now.

[Eli]

Beating the out of horse.

[Nick]

It's all accounting tricks with some of these places.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's veteran made. Oh, so it's veteran owned. Not what I said.

[Nick]

Not what I said.

[Eli]

This nonprofit really took off horse.

[Nick]

Horse's veteran ended. Oh, no.

[Cody]

A veteran made this horse. And this sword.

[Eli]

Mint is still $15 a month for premium wireless. And if you haven't made the switch yet, here are 15 reasons why you should.

[Nick]

One, it's $15 a month.

[Eli]

Two, seriously, it's $15 a month. Three, no big contracts. Four, I use it. Five, my mom uses it. Are you.

[Nick]

Are you playing me off?

[Eli]

That's what's happening, right? Okay, give it a try.

[Brandon Herrera]

@Mintmobile.Com Switch upfront payment of 45 for 3 month plan. 15 per month equivalent required. New customer offer, first 3 months only, then full price plan options available, taxes and fees extra. See mintmobile.com Friend made the horse.

[Cody]

Yeah, dude. Oh, block makes come.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's true.

[Eli]

How's your non profit going? You open the barn door.

[Brandon Herrera]

And there it was. Eli broke the mic.

[Eli]

I don't know. They look happy. I haven't hit my wife in weeks. Oh, my God.

[Cody]

Happy veterans.

[Brandon Herrera]

Jesus Christ, boys.

[Cody]

Brandon's running for congress again.

[Nick]

Dude.

[Eli]

This episode will be before major cape.

[Nick]

He was.

[Cody]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Unfortunately, tangentially related to everyone at the table.

[Nick]

Brandon Herrera hates horses.

[Eli]

Got anything?

[Brandon Herrera]

You backed me to a corner pretty well here. Just like fucking smacking every branch on the way down. How much damage can we do here? These live shows are gonna be a terror.

[Eli]

Brandon, what kind of shirt is that?

[Brandon Herrera]

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

[Cody]

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

[Brandon Herrera]

Good thing nobody's ever pointed that out before.

[Cody]

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

[Eli]

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

[Brandon Herrera]

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

[Eli]

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

[Brandon Herrera]

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

[Eli]

No, the other one.

[Brandon Herrera]

Be more specific.

[Eli]

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

[Brandon Herrera]

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

[Eli]

I make him clean my phones.

[Brandon Herrera]

He does.

[Cody]

I like the hidden little pocket on the breast.

[Eli]

Wait, what?

[Brandon Herrera]

Right over here. Got a little zipper pocket.

[Eli]

I didn't even know about that one. Is that where you hold Cody's heart and his drugs? Things you might need to know. Poncho has put a lot of thought and detail into each one of their shirts. Oh, holy sh.

[Brandon Herrera]

They're soft. They're really soft.

[Eli]

Yo. What?

[Brandon Herrera]

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

[Cody]

That's why we wear them all the time.

[Eli]

So Pancho's got a bunch of great styles. The original western, denim and ultralight.

[Cody]

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

[Eli]

Go to ponchooutdoors.com unsub and get $10.

[Nick]

Off your first order.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's P O N C H ooutdoors.com.

[Eli]

Unsub well, at least everyone's doing good. As we prep for this, we're gonna be hitting the. Oh, my God. We're gonna be exhausted. He's the most exhausting. This is going to be a couple. Well, it's live shows break for a week. Live shows break.

[Cody]

Range day.

[Eli]

Range day break for at least a couple weeks. There's like a couple in between that and then.

[Cody]

Then four more after.

[Eli]

Yeah, yeah. But we got those breaks in between those ones, which is nice.

[Nick]

I gotta go to Corpus Christi on November 1.

[Cody]

What are you doing in Corpus?

[Nick]

World of warships rented out the USS Lexington, the aircraft carrier to do a Jiu Jitsu tournament Fundraiser for a Jiu Jitsu non profit.

[Cody]

Is that an active carrier or that one?

[Nick]

No, it's like a museum.

[Brandon Herrera]

Ships.

[Nick]

But like, they're like, you want to come do Jiu Jitsu on a aircraft carrier charity? I was like, I'm really busy. But fine, yes, I'll be there.

[Brandon Herrera]

There's gonna be a bunch of other, like, mma.

[Nick]

Yeah. So that's a funny story. Nothing on World of Warships, but like, they're not Jiu Jitsu people, so they don't know. They're just like, oh, hey, this guy's in the video game. He's a big YouTuber. He's known for doing Jiu Jitsu or whatever. We'll see if he wants to teach at our seminar. And like, I'm a Jiu Jitsu coach, been doing it for a while. Sure, no problem. So they're linked up with We Defy. Basically, it's a nonprofit and they. If you're a veteran that struggles with ptsd, they'll pay for your tuition at Jiu Jitsu gym and like, buy you.

[Brandon Herrera]

A GI and so you can beat.

[Nick]

Up horses and like, be part of a community. Yeah. Other people. Yeah, sure. It's a really cool organization. But the head dude calls me and he's like, hey, so what's your plan on what you're trying to do? And I was like, I mean, whatever. Like, I'm there for whatever you need me for. Like, he's like, okay, cool. Because like, they're kind of want you to instruct. And he's like, not saying you can't. You can if you want to, but here's the other people that are instructing and it's like, insert Travis Stevens, judo bronze medalist, and Jiu Jitsu black belt, and then like, world champion. World champion, yeah. Like, dudes like that, like, literally the top 1% of 1% of Jiu Jitsu is like, yeah, I really don't want to go up and instruct before or after any of them. So today we're going to talk about. Yeah, I'm happy to just hang out and be there and, you know, shake hands and do stuff. Yeah, I'll do that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Speaking of which, high five for being the two people at this table that are in that game now. World of Warships. Oh, yeah, yeah, I just got added.

[Nick]

Not trying to brag. I'm the only one that's on PC and consoles, so go yourself.

[Brandon Herrera]

I actually don't know.

[Nick]

I do, dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, I'm not getting added to which.

[Nick]

One, you're added on Legends, which is consoles only. You're not on PC.

[Cody]

I'm on the only thing you play.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't even have a console. I can't even play with myself.

[Eli]

You can always play with yourself. I just, like.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's the attitude. That's the spirit.

[Eli]

I don't want to brag. Go fuck yourself.

[Brandon Herrera]

12 combo there.

[Nick]

I gotta have something. They let him get creative with the voice acting lines. Mine had to be, like, very straightforward. Like, read the lines exactly. Really? He was talking smack in his.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was talking you specifically on some of them.

[Eli]

Why did they let you do the same thing?

[Nick]

It was. I did it like a year and a half ago before. Before they were like, cut and loose. I think I was like one of the, you know, first people to do it or whatever. So they were on edge about it.

[Brandon Herrera]

They let me say some really funny shit in there. They're like, we don't know if we'll use it, but, like, just go for it. Like one of them just like, can I call my team retards? You're like, well, you can't say that word. No. And I'm like, all right, how about this? Did my entire team show up on the short carrier today? The guys in the fucking recording studio were just dying. Like, we're just around. There were a bunch of cool dudes.

[Nick]

That's sweet. I like working with World of Warships.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, they were very chill.

[Eli]

How much net they have to be killing. Because they do mobile, right?

[Nick]

Or. No, they do mobile console and PC.

[Brandon Herrera]

I do have mobile. It is Legends.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Okay. Yeah, I can get that on my phone. This accidentally turned into an ad for.

[Cody]

World of Warships, but it's fine.

[Eli]

I know. I'm just looking at their valuation.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't remember what the name of the company is that owns it.

[Eli]

Wargaming Warga.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, there you go. That sounds right.

[Eli]

A small 1.5 billion dollar company. Yeah. World of War Tanks franchise has drained.

[Nick]

Jesus.

[Eli]

It's like companies like that. 7 billion in 2024.

[Nick]

Holy. Okay, YouTube's back up. Nobody worry. Oh, not. I don't have to go to work.

[Cody]

I don't gotta sell crack cocaine.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, you just do it for love of the game. Yeah, exactly, Cody. Still.

[Eli]

Because it doesn't.

[Nick]

Yeah, we're not gonna play that game. We were playing that one time.

[Brandon Herrera]

That was really fun.

[Nick]

Schedule one, me and Brandon are running around. Brandon's, like, running the crack house, making the crack. I'm dealing the crack and coordinating all the entrepreneur selling aspects. Cody is Running around with a bat. I'll distract the cops. Cops with a bat and running. There's like eight cops chasing Cody. So, like, I can just, like, roam around freely dealing drugs. It was fantastic.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was hilarious because, like, I'm just over here, like, I'm making sure we got all the soil. We got everything we need. Okay. Just. Just running non stop. It felt like a chore.

[Nick]

Like, honestly, need more water. I gotta go pick up more seeds.

[Brandon Herrera]

And then, like, you're. You're going out, you're being like, the dealer, and we're like, where's Cody? And I just, like, will look out the window of the house and I will see him beating a woman in the street with a crowbar. I guess that's productive.

[Eli]

You get that money, Cody?

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, he's not doing nothing.

[Cody]

I got the pigs off your back, boys. I did pickpocket. A lot of people make a lot of money, though. The woman that sold us that apartment, she turned around real quick and I got like, seven grand off of her. Oh, yeah, you got a free apartment.

[Brandon Herrera]

Life hacks.

[Eli]

No idea what you guys are talking about. Just sounds amazing.

[Nick]

You want to do drugs with us?

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Cody]

It's four people, right?

[Brandon Herrera]

I think so.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think we could do it.

[Eli]

The audience had to have a blast. Did you guys stream that?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, yeah.

[Cody]

Turned into a little video on the second channel too.

[Eli]

Oh, I bet that one did good.

[Cody]

Yeah, it's complete chaos.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was kind of funny to see things from your perspective, because I just knew what I was doing, which was like, basically just like garden simulator from your end. It was just violence. You're just like, that's very interesting, guys.

[Eli]

Cracks done.

[Cody]

Them cops didn't stand a chance once I found the baseball bat.

[Eli]

Dude, come on.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're like, I used to be one of you. I know how you think.

[Eli]

Holy. Oh, I missed you boys. What are you. Dude, when's the last time you were here? It's been a tick.

[Nick]

It's like a month.

[Eli]

It feels way longer.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, we were all just in Key west too, so.

[Nick]

Oh, yeah.

[Eli]

Okay, that makes sense. I was like, why didn't we. I swear we hung out more recently, but just not that part. That makes way more sense.

[Cody]

Yeah, we got super crazy, sat by the pool and drank.

[Nick]

It was 90% of the time. We literally. Don't get wrong. It was nice. It was cool. But I was like, we didn't have to fly to a small island to do this.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. What was funny, though, is that we're like, the biggest problem that we had all weekend was how do we uber to a local store to buy a TV so we can watch Sicario 2 at the pool?

[Nick]

I forgot.

[Eli]

I just. The only thing I had. It was beautiful. That was like great little spot chilling. Other than the toilets wouldn't work sometimes it was like my. On my. Well, my room did you guys toilets work?

[Brandon Herrera]

So Connor took your room after you left and like the first thing the next morning, he. First thing he says just like waking up and like groggy walking down the stairs is, see what Eli means about the toilet now.

[Eli]

It's great when you wake up at five in the morning, you go, shit. You had pizza, booze, beer, carbs. Everything that my tummy doesn't like. I'm like, oh, thank God.

[Brandon Herrera]

So you get to hot box in.

[Cody]

Your own sh for a couple hours.

[Eli]

If Connor didn't do the secret. I just pulled the. The little trash can, took the plastic off and just filled up that with water and then dump it in the back of the toilet and then flush it so I wouldn't have.

[Brandon Herrera]

I do not know the problem solving technique that Connor went about this, but.

[Eli]

I was immediately not having that in the room permeating that area. I was like, nope, that smells like death. We're getting rid of it now.

[Nick]

Dude, that place gave me my backup plan when I inevitably get canceled on YouTube though.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're like the least cancelable one of them.

[Nick]

It's like, I know, but I'm gonna be the last man standing and they're just gonna come for me at a spite after they knock all three of you off collecting the last infinity stone. Exactly. It's gonna be me getting the diamond ripped out of my forehead. Skittle hair thanos.

[Eli]

Like blue hair thanos just for the.

[Nick]

Love of the sport. But no, it's like the whole island is like literally just Airbnbs and rental properties. I was like, man, if an electrician came in here and just went to these because, you know, it's like five people that own all the Airbnbs on that island go to one of those dudes and be like, hey, put me on retainer for X amount of thousands of dollars a month. I'll be 24 hour emergency service for all your Airbnbs and you probably get five calls a month and be set and get to live on this island in paradise with all these roosters and walking around everywhere. Be perfect. Yeah, it was like I wanted to catch one so bad.

[Brandon Herrera]

Which apparently they're just very protected down there. Like it's illegal to with them Although that one restaurant did give us like the water little squirt gun.

[Cody]

They give us rooster squirt guns.

[Nick]

So you can feed the roosters.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, no, tell them to off. Oh, this the one lady like walks out because we're just like, oh, they're around. Like they've been around all weekend. It was like the day after you guys left, we were like waiting to go on get on the plane. And we're at this little like cabana, you know, porch area, and this lady comes out because there's like three or four roosters just right beneath us, just like fucking begging for food. We've been ignoring them because, like, that's what we were doing all weekend. And she's got like this nice electronic super soaker thing. Just comes out and just starts spraying them down like the fuck out of here. Bastards. Yard birds. She gave us the little squirt gun. We're like, oh, this is now the coolest lunch we've had.

[Nick]

Fuck.

[Eli]

We should have found this earlier.

[Nick]

It was wild to just see wild roosters walking around.

[Eli]

Chilling in the trees too.

[Nick]

Yeah, I've never seen a rooster climb a tree before.

[Eli]

Also, anyone that lives in Key west, that's like a server or something. How the fuck do you live there? And afford. Was a question.

[Cody]

We, the servers couldn't tell us how they did it.

[Nick]

Yeah, they were saying like, rent there for like sharing, having roommates is like five grand a month. Like, it's crazy.

[Cody]

They have like, they all had like four or five roommates or something like that.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Eli]

I think we looked up for a loft of 400 square feet was five grand a month.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Off.

[Nick]

Chris was looking up real estate prices. It was like a two bedroom, 700 square foot house that hasn't been updated since 1950 was like $1.4 million.

[Eli]

Dude, they had those, those two houses for rent. It's just two 700 square foot houses for 18 grand a month. Yeah. I was like, how do you justify this area?

[Brandon Herrera]

That could get you like a cartel compound in San Antonio.

[Eli]

You.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, like, you, you would have a campus.

[Nick]

Six months of rent there would buy you a nice house in the Midwest.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, yeah. But then you have to live in the Midwest.

[Nick]

It's awesome.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, man, can you imagine people want to pay more to live in the Midwest.

[Nick]

Makes perfect sense. The Midwest because we, we, we landed on the east coast, then we went down to Panama, then we went to the west coast and then everybody moved inward. The Midwest was the last, the last place to get the furthest away from the Most people. That's where I'm at. It's the most advanced level of human civilization.

[Brandon Herrera]

Long ways go for saying like, oh, yeah, that's why I don't want to be at a beach.

[Nick]

Yes, people.

[Eli]

I mean, I get this.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. I don't know. You ever been to West Texas?

[Nick]

Nope.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's far more remote than the. The Midwest, my friend. I promise you that.

[Nick]

I don't believe you go with me.

[Brandon Herrera]

As some of the stuff I will say. It's fucking beautiful out there. Like Brewster county, like Alpine, Fort Davis area. Like that. It's where a big bend is.

[Nick]

You. You drive up to Mason City after your campaign thing, and then I'll drive you back down. Dude, you tell me how remote I am.

[Brandon Herrera]

Loving county is in my district is the most. Is the least populated county in the entire country.

[Nick]

How many people?

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, 56.

[Nick]

All right. I might move to Texas.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, it's like. It's. It's remote. Loving.

[Eli]

Oh, loving.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was like Lubbock to the point where actually it was. It was something that just happened recently. It's like this hippie cult or whatever the fuck it was.

[Nick]

I don't know.

[Brandon Herrera]

I didn't. I didn't look into.

[Nick]

Oh, yeah, they, like, they're moving in to take over the local government. I was reading an article about this.

[Brandon Herrera]

Because there are so few people. They're just like, oh, we could just like, buy a couple double wides and like, move 20 people there and take over the government.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Which is what they're trying to do.

[Nick]

And it's also. And the reason they're doing it is because per capita, it's like the wealthiest county in the country too, because they have oil money also. It's a lot of the reason because of it.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't know how that ties into it, but there is a lot of, like. There's a lot of oil jobs and stuff like that, which is what keeps that kind of going.

[Eli]

Like Midland or anything. Just oil jobs. There's that one.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's really not a whole lot else out there, man.

[Eli]

There's that one.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, there's a bunch of, like. There's one, like, major gas station in that county that, like, you could tell, like, in and out. It's. It's a lot of oil workers and stuff like that and keeps the, I guess, the local economy going.

[Eli]

Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody. You remember the big wallet I had that was leather and crusty?

[Cody]

The one that hurt your back? It was so big, that one.

[Eli]

Guess what I got now.

[Cody]

A little wallet.

[Eli]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

By Ridge, it was one of many things that hurt your back because it was so big.

[Eli]

Brandon's wallet blew his back out.

[Cody]

You've been cheating.

[Brandon Herrera]

But now we have Ridge Wallet.

[Eli]

Tyler, how do you like your American Ridge wallet? Now say hello to Ridge 2.0. What's that mean, Tyler?

[Brandon Herrera]

There was 1.0 and this is 2.0. Nailed it.

[Eli]

[Brandon Herrera]

And now with the Ridge 2.0, it's even 10% lighter.

[Eli]

10% feels lighter.

[Cody]

It has RFID blocking tech.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's an absolute blast. Over 100,000. Five star reviews.

[Nick]

Dear Lord.

[Brandon Herrera]

The RFID blocking keeps you safe from digital pickpocketers, just like my gun keeps me safe from physical pickpocketers.

[Eli]

[Brandon Herrera]

[Eli]

There is one town I just watched a video on. They have 15 people that live there.

[Cody]

In West Texas.

[Eli]

No, this is right outside of. I want to say it's in Arizona. No, actually, maybe Nevada. I'll find the video. It is wild. It is a two and a half hour drive to get into the town and a two hour and a half drive to get to the nearest city. So you're like, okay, if I have to get anything, it's two and a half hours. There's four 50 houses, the 15 residents. One dude takes care of everything. There's no your cell phone. Nothing works there. Some YouTubers actually did a video. Everyone's super friendly. The 15 people. Imagine that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli]

Take care of each other.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's like two families.

[Eli]

Dude. The bar does look like. Like we would have a good time. Like they party like. And then the best part is the night ends. Everyone. Shit. Wrecked. Some old dude that's like 60s like stumbling out to his car and they're like, are you driving? He's like, what am I gonna do? Hit somebody? Like, yeah, dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

As a counterpoint, it's pretty good.

[Eli]

Okay, that's fucking dope. Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

What are you gonna do? Call the cops? They're two hours away. I feel like at that place at that point you'd like have to have a plane like a Cessna or something like that.

[Nick]

He's dude that far. I was considering moving to San Antonio or like the outskirts of San Antonio for a minute and like a lot of the properties I was. I wouldn't say a lot. There was quite a few properties that I were surprised where like in the Zillow listing it was like this is. Has like a cleared out. Some of them were like gravel patches, some of them were like poured concrete and they're like has a helipad that's registered with the county for like a medical emergency or whatever. If you needed to get life flighted.

[Eli]

Yeah is like save over $200 when you book weekly stays with Verbo this winter. If you need to work, why not work from a chalet? If you haven't seen your college besties.

[Brandon Herrera]

Since well college you need a week to fully catch up in a snowy cabin. And if you have to stay in a remote place with your in laws you should save over $200 a week.

[Eli]

That's the least we can do. So you might as well start digging out the long johns because saving over.

[Brandon Herrera]

200 on a week long snowcation rental.

[Eli]

Is in the cards book [e-mail] how.

[Nick]

Remote some of these places are where you just have to have your own helipad if you want an ambulance.

[Eli]

Jarbridge. Yeah, it's Jarbridge.

[Brandon Herrera]

And that looks like a. And it's nestled deep in the mountains at the end of a long dirt road.

[Eli]

Hell yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

No civilization for a hundred miles.

[Nick]

Hell yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

There's no school. No. Yeah, that looks like an old ghost town store. And yet the 16 year round residents have managed to keep this town alive. That bar, more than that, they seem to be a thriving. That does look pretty cool. Okay, so I do that. That bar does remind me of a cool story. When I was in Prescott, Arizona they had. There's like you know, nice little historic area. Everything like that there was an old. We were, we were staying at this old like home haunted ass hotel. But right next door was a historic bar that had burned to the ground in like the 1880s or whatever it was. But the bar was original. It's like the actual bar top itself long like I don't know, I wanna say 15, 20 foot like big slab bar. Because when it burned to the ground in the 1880s, the patrons at the bar picked the fucking bar up, moved it outside and sat outside drinking, watching the bar burn to the ground.

[Nick]

Hell yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like that's that old West I love. And so they still, like. As soon as they. That's what they did. And when the. When they rebuilt the bar, they just moved the bar top back in.

[Eli]

Why not? There's too many beers to grab at once.

[Nick]

Did you pick it up?

[Eli]

We'll just move it at once.

[Cody]

Improvise, adapt, Drink.

[Eli]

Oh, yeah, drink.

[Brandon Herrera]

But like, little bits of history like that, man. It's like you can't. You can't fake that. That's just so fucking cool, dude.

[Eli]

I would, like, like doing something like that. Like a gang going there. That's the shit. I would have fun. I think we would all probably have fun. It's like, hey, let's go to this remote place.

[Brandon Herrera]

They might hate us.

[Eli]

You didn't watch the video. I think we get cool. I think we'd get along quite well.

[Cody]

Like, okay, bring starlink Mobile. Hell, yeah.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

That would actually be crazy.

[Nick]

I can't wait to do the history bit for the live shows.

[Eli]

I'm excited.

[Nick]

It's those vibes, the whole story. I deliberately found a story from history where it seems like some. That we would get into.

[Eli]

I don't know how that sounds when I know that I'm stories.

[Nick]

It's fantastic because we got.

[Brandon Herrera]

Are you saving it?

[Eli]

Oh, yeah.

[Nick]

Oh, yes.

[Eli]

Oh, it's for the live shows. We got everything. Getting it just dialed in.

[Cody]

Can we.

[Brandon Herrera]

Can you spoil a little bit?

[Nick]

Like, I just give me like, it's the watermelon war.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, Lord.

[Nick]

All right. I'll give you the very beginning. And I'll give you the very end, but I'm not going to fill in any details.

[Brandon Herrera]

Okay, you hit me.

[Nick]

I believe it was 1856, April 28th or 26th, 1856. We had just finished the Panama railroad connecting the east and west side of the Panama isthmus. The Panama Canal does not exist yet. And the reason that we created it was like, basically during the California gold rush and westward expansion. It seems counterintuitive, but the fastest way to get from New York to California was to go through Panama, right? Your options were take a covered wagon for six months, or you could take a boat down to New York, land In Panama, walk 40 miles to the other side of Panama, get on another boat and go up to California. It took you like four weeks instead of six months. So a lot of people were doing it. California gold rush is going on, so all bunch of people are doing it. They build the railroad. The railroad just gets finished. Bunch of other happens. There's some Americans and there's like a layover at the train for six hours, and they're like, let's go get shitfaced. They get faced. There's an altercation with a street vendor and a group of boys over a slice of watermelon. It devolves into a riot involving hundreds of people, and they have to end up sending in the Marine Corps. And this ends up setting the precedent for American military presence in Panama until 1999 and is the reason we built military bases outside of Panama. Long story short, Americans got drunk, they got in a fight over a slice of watermelon, and America cut a continent in half. There you go.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hell, yeah. I love how whatever you started this with, it's some we would do.

[Nick]

Yes. When I get into the story of how the altercation of the watermelon unfolds, it's you and Cody.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was just going to say, this sounds like some shit. We're like. We go somewhere, Cody gets in a fight. I look over my right shoulder and go, oh, yes. I don't know that it happened.

[Eli]

Cody face.

[Nick]

Yes.

[Eli]

No, Cody, no.

[Cody]

No.

[Eli]

Give me his drink.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, sorry, sir. You may not have been in the.

[Cody]

Wrong, but you two have to come save both of us.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm packing.

[Eli]

My boy do that. I. Yeah, I can't wait to hear the escalation on that one. Because. Wild.

[Nick]

It's gonna be good.

[Eli]

Oh, I'm so excited for that one, dude.

[Nick]

I.

[Eli]

We just filmed. Well, thankfully, Capper Capers episode comes out after this one, bro.

[Nick]

I didn't get to tell you guys what he said to me when I brought him in here, because I'd help Brandon get him out of his car. Helped him come in here, helped him sit down. Brandon had to take a full phone call, like, congress stuff. And I sit him down, I'm like, talking to him, and he's like, which one do you want me to sit at? And I was like, you can sit in any seat you prefer. Except for this one. Eli has to sit in that one just because the camera angles and stuff is okay.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. I was gonna say it's more like the Big Bang Theory. Penny. That's my seat.

[Nick]

Yeah, exactly.

[Eli]

So push major capers out of the chair.

[Nick]

He goes, he. He dead ass. Like, not joking. He's like, I'm gonna sit here so I can see the door. Like, all right. Fuck, old man. Still got it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yes, sir.

[Nick]

I had to help you out of the car, but you've still got one left in you, and I don't want it. I know that much.

[Eli]

That dude was just.

[Nick]

That was One of the best unsets we've ever filmed.

[Eli]

Yeah, next week's incredible. It's gonna come this month. But holy shit, as Nick said, that is hands down the best unsub.

[Brandon Herrera]

He reminded me a lot, obviously. You know, he's got an incredible war story and then career and everything like that. I mean he incredible human all. All together. But just listening to him talk, like he just remind. It reminded me of just his demeanor more so than anything reminded me of like just my grandpa. And it's like I felt like I was getting like family war stories. Yeah, it was just. It was really easy to listen to.

[Nick]

The thing that I was like thinking and I wasn't going to bring it up in the podcast, but like we've interviewed some older veterans before and he's 88 years old and for the amount of combat he's been in and his age, his hearing is impeccable. Because usually you gotta like raise your voice, you gotta repeat yourself, which is completely fine. I didn't. I was talking this loud and he heard every word I said and responded immediately. Everything. How the fuck is your hearing? My hearing's not that good and I didn't do a tenth the shit you did.

[Eli]

How many holes did he like?

[Brandon Herrera]

Or was it 14?

[Nick]

14 Hol. And then like some other too.

[Eli]

You been shot, Jake, like without get like he goes into like his knife kill story and you're like, what?

[Brandon Herrera]

Knife fights are terrible, dude.

[Eli]

Yeah, well.

[Nick]

Of action. It was a finisher.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was a. A unilateral knife fight.

[Eli]

He was Metal Gear Solid.

[Nick]

Somebody didn't know they were in a knife fight till they already lost a knife fight.

[Eli]

At that moment you would have thought his friend was probably Joshua with him. He's like, oh. Because it's like instant. Oh my God.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, no, apparently this was after the three M16 kills.

[Eli]

Never mind.

[Nick]

Yep.

[Brandon Herrera]

I forgot he knew he was in a fight, he just didn't realize it was a knife fight.

[Eli]

It's also. We didn't talk about it, but he was using the 20 round mags. I was like, oh man, this is like an OG M16. This probably didn't even have a Ford.

[Brandon Herrera]

I mean that was really before the. The 30 round stanags.

[Nick]

Yeah, well, he was telling me before the podcast. He's like, yeah, bunch of issues with the M16 thing. Always jammed when I needed it the most. My 9 millimeter Browning High power never jammed on me though.

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Nick]

Apparently he got a lot of pistol kills.

[Eli]

Just like, oh man, this guy. And he's so sharp. For 88. And then what he's been through because him and Don are probably the sharpest, the older generation, but like firing. And then when he finished that one story, he sat for one second, he's like, what other questions you gonna like? Whoa, homie. We're just taking it in.

[Brandon Herrera]

If you have questions like, I don't.

[Nick]

Got much time left. Let's move it along. What do you. What do you kids want to know? He was awesome.

[Brandon Herrera]

What about the second snake, bro?

[Nick]

That was the craziest part. Just. I knew, I knew there was a snake story where he captures a 20 Python in the.

[Eli]

In Vietnam.

[Nick]

Vietnam. They're out on a recon mission and they find a 20 foot, 200 pound python.

[Cody]

Jesus.

[Eli]

And this is on a mission.

[Nick]

They're like, so we took one of our boys Poncho's covers, wrapped its head up and took it with us. Then they got to a river and they couldn't swim across the river with a 200 pound snake, so they had to leave it. Then they climbed up the mountain to base and convinced the helicopter pilot to go back with the helicopter and pick it up. And they had a pet 20 foot.

[Brandon Herrera]

A python that they named Gomer Pile.

[Nick]

Well, then he tells the story. It's hilarious. And then at the end of the podcast, we're flipping through his book and he's got a bunch of pictures and there's a picture of him with a 20 foot long python.

[Cody]

Most Marine I've ever heard.

[Nick]

But the picture says, Jim Capers with Gomer Pile number two. And I'm like, I'm sorry. This picture says number two. There was a number one. He goes, oh, yeah, we caught that one in Panama. It's like the same size. This is what the.

[Eli]

Dude. Oh, American hero.

[Brandon Herrera]

My. My favorite part too was the, well, what'd you do in Hong Kong? Well, my niece is right here.

[Eli]

I can't talk about, like, heard. I did like, he was like, this is the first time my niece is hearing these stories. And she's like.

[Brandon Herrera]

She's like, I have the Internet.

[Eli]

I was like, oh, man. Really good people, though. That was again next week. Whenever that one airs, you guys are in for a treat. Cody gets to watch that one.

[Cody]

I'm gonna watch that one.

[Eli]

So good.

[Cody]

I think through all of our years in business on the Internet, we've all used Shopify. I've used it for merch and my skate shop and a couple other businesses. Businesses.

[Eli]

I will actually agree 100% on that. Everything we do is run through Shopify.

[Brandon Herrera]

Even Bunkers run through Shopify.

[Eli]

Our shoes, which is a separate company is run through Shopify and they talk together because of Shopify.

[Brandon Herrera]

Shopify runs the world.

[Eli]

Did you know Shopify will actually help you design a website also?

[Brandon Herrera]

Cody I know.

[Cody]

I didn't know about starting an online store when I started my career online. And Shopify just made it so super, super easy for my dumb.

[Eli]

Brandon what happens if people haven't heard about my brand though?

[Brandon Herrera]

That's actually easy. Eli Shopify helps you find your customers with easy to use email and social media campaigns.

[Eli]

Step Cody what happens if I get stuck?

[Cody]

Shopify is always around to share advice with their award winning 247 customer service.

[Eli]

Step support. Bro, you got my back and your front. Shopify helps millions of businesses around the.

[Cody]

World and 10% of all e commerce.

[Brandon Herrera]

In the US from household names like Mattel or Gymshark to new brands.

[Eli]

Just getting started on some shoes on some merch bunker.

[Cody]

No. We've all been doing this for over a decade and Shopify is the easiest e commerce platform we've ever used.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think every single one of us has used Shopify at one point.

[Eli]

I think all our businesses right now are using Shopify.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, except mine. But that's because it's guns. Can't do that.

[Eli]

Just one of them. Can't turn those dreams into sfx. Cha ching Shopify New cell sound and.

[Brandon Herrera]

Give them the best shot at success with Shopify.

[Cody]

Sign up for your $1 per month trial and start selling today at shopify.com.

[Eli]

Unsubpod shopify.com unsub pod we're like just.

[Brandon Herrera]

A bunch of, you know, degenerate morons half the time. But like, then you have those real moments where we have these genuine American heroes. The, the Don Graves, the, the Papa Jake, the, you know. Yeah. Al have, you know, major, major capers. Like, that's. It's really kind of cool.

[Eli]

It's neat. I was, it was. We planned for an hour because we know they're older and you don't want them to like push themselves or like expect too much. And he just kept talking and we were just, we all shut the up and we're just like this.

[Nick]

He's like, give me a coffee and a piece of candy. And went hard for like two and a half hours. It was awesome, dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, because we, we were, he was like, well, how long is this probably gonna go? And like, I don't know, maybe like an hour, two hours later. Yeah.

[Eli]

It was so good.

[Nick]

There was like Eli at one point, Eli's like, well, Nick, you want to wrap it up? And then he's just like. And then there was that time I killed a guy.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Another 30 minutes. I was like, hell yeah.

[Eli]

I was like, nevermind, we're not wrapping this one up. Continue with your story.

[Nick]

Shut up, Eli. He's talking.

[Eli]

I just like, Brandon was asking the like the knife situation and he's like, oh, I'm not allowed to talk about these. A lot of the time. Frank said. And then we're like, Frank. He's like, I think you're with the right crowd.

[Brandon Herrera]

Essentially it was what he said about it that cracked me up. And I was trying to like keep composure on it. But it was basically like, well, you know, certain stories, we tell them, you know, you probably shouldn't tell. And mixed company because certain people have opinions on what is and isn't a war crime. Like, God.

[Cody]

Like, nah.

[Brandon Herrera]

But these folks seem cool.

[Nick]

Some people can't differentiate winning from war crimes.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, it was a. That was a privilege to have him on.

[Eli]

Yeah. I'm so stoked. We need to get. We're trying to get Clint or Clint back on. I don't know so many people.

[Nick]

I got Ed Eaton said he'd. Come on.

[Eli]

Go on.

[Nick]

Ed Eaton, sniper from Vietnam. I'm doing a. I'm doing one of my videos on him. He wrote the book Mekong Mud Dogs. He's a sniper in Vietnam. And History Channel's done a video on him before. But I mean, badass sniper in Vietnam. He goes out on a mission, they go to get picked up, and his helicopter crashes in like a rice paddy. And he's the only dude that's up. Everybody else is so wounded they can't do shit. He climbs up. It's dark. He climbs up on top of a burning helicopter, his sniper rifle. In the crash, the scope and the sighting got all fucked up.

[Brandon Herrera]

You've told me the story.

[Nick]

And he had a old. I forget what it's called, but it was, it was kind of like an ACOG where it takes residual light to illuminate it. And it was like a shitty early predecessor of a night vision optic. So we had that so we could kind of see movement and through this optic and pitch black in the jungle. And he fires and he sees the bullet hit like in the upper corner of his scope. So he's just got his sniper rifle, Kentucky windage, and an M16. And for like it was like two or three hours. He got in a firefight with a platoon of NBA 30 versus 1. And he was bouncing back and forth between the M16 and the sniper rifle, trying to make him think there was more than just him up there. Ends up. Holy. So he's like bouncing back and forth.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just an extra level of impressive on that. If your scope is broken, no guarantee that where you've Kentucky windaged your. Your new point of impact at. No guarantee it's going to stay the same place. Yeah. Because the glass could be moving, it.

[Nick]

Could be rotating inside. Yeah.

[Eli]

Parallax, all those little things like you.

[Brandon Herrera]

No guarantee that you're like, oh, it hits there. Now it could hit somewhere completely different.

[Nick]

After Wild, I forget the details. I haven't like done the full research with it, but I think he gets like somewhere between 7 and 10 confirmed kills during this firefight. And then they finally get a helicopter in there to get these guys out. And he loads everybody else up and there's some dude that's like pinned under the helicopter and can't get out. And the dude basically is like dying and tells Ed to leave him. And Ed's like, nah. And first helicopter takes off, leaves him, continues the firefight with this one dude and ends up saving the dude and getting him out. And like, he survives.

[Eli]

That's wild.

[Nick]

But he said he'd come on.

[Eli]

Oh, 100. Yeah, yeah, 100. We have one guy without going into. We have an individual that will be coming on the podcast. He wants to stay low, but Metal honor. Yeah, yeah. And his stories wild. But we were talking about it's like a true professional where I don't even think he liked the article about him receiving the medal of Honor out there. He just wants to live life. I'm like, holy shit, dude. Hard motherfucker. Hard mother. But we should have him on hopefully if it's this month, if we can talk him into the other stuff.

[Brandon Herrera]

Right.

[Eli]

Good ass story. Very, very good story. I'm like. And he knows. It's weird when, you know, like, certain people, like with our friends in the higher chain of command now they're like, yeah, yeah. Oh, they know each other. So it's an instant.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's a small world getting smaller every day.

[Eli]

Yeah. It's like Atozi.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah.

[Eli]

Atozi knew everyone we knew. Like, that dude was friends with every one of our friends. We were like, huh? Interest? What the fuck?

[Nick]

Who?

[Eli]

Atozi is a YouTuber. We had on, what, two a week.

[Brandon Herrera]

Ago at the time of recording. Yeah, it was like a week.

[Cody]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

But he just knew everybody. Oompa Post Malone. Like, just all the different, like, homies that are not Related at all. We're just like, oh, okay.

[Eli]

It was. Yeah, we're like, oh, okay. Well, we're getting along well. No. Mr. Cody, how goes your. You're streaming.

[Cody]

Yeah, man, I had to. I got it. I'm sorry I didn't get a Do the one this morning with him. I needed to put some fires out with range day and then I needed to put a stream out cuz I've only been streaming once a week when I was streaming five days a week. So I wanted to put at least one out, get a couple videos in the pipeline.

[Nick]

It's.

[Cody]

It's going good, man. We just have so much coming up, man.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Between the live shows.

[Cody]

Live eight live shows. And then we got. Yeah. Range Day in between all the live shows and just all our individual content that we've been trying to push out.

[Eli]

Energy drinks launching. Yeah, it's already launched at this point.

[Cody]

Families that we have kids that like.

[Brandon Herrera]

Want to see their dad or something.

[Eli]

Like that when you actually do it. Because when this episode airs, we'll be doing the marketing campaign and the push for the new unsub side zips. So that stacked with energy drinks, stacked with range day, stacked with live shows, stacked with two to three podcasts and then whatever else.

[Brandon Herrera]

Now add a bunch of campaign stops and trips to dc.

[Eli]

Yeah, like, dude, Jesus.

[Cody]

Yeah, it's going to be a busy rest of the year for all of us boys.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Best job ever.

[Cody]

Best job ever.

[Nick]

We had a good idea on kind of consensual. There's no way you could swing it, but if you did, it'd be very funny. What if you could convince Post Malone to do Weekend at Bernie's at one of the live shows? Like, what if we literally pole Post Malone out on stage wearing glasses and he just sits there like this for the whole show? And we never address it, we never say a word about it.

[Cody]

Every once in a while, a Bud Light just comes up.

[Brandon Herrera]

We could also just find a homeless guy, draw posts tattoos on his face, and just pretend it's him.

[Nick]

We could tell everybody that's what we did, but it's really him.

[Brandon Herrera]

Way cheaper. Actually, that would be pretty funny.

[Eli]

That would confuse a lot of people.

[Brandon Herrera]

Although they'd be like, they've been asking for Post Malone on the podcast for like over a year now. We bring him on and he says no words.

[Eli]

We carry him on and off stage. He does zero interaction. They're like, did you guys just not pay for work?

[Brandon Herrera]

Did you want him on or not? You got him.

[Eli]

We only paid for his time, bro.

[Cody]

Did you see how many people showed up to his bar opening in Nashville last week?

[Eli]

Huge.

[Brandon Herrera]

Holy.

[Cody]

Thousands of people just packing the streets to. His new bar is Posties in downtown Nashville. And so he did a, like a little live show out in front of it. And there were just.

[Nick]

Just.

[Cody]

No, like, only. Only standing room. Just people were packed for like a mile. It was crazy.

[Brandon Herrera]

So, you know, you officially made it in the country music scene. Like, everybody, you know, it's.

[Cody]

That's.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's like the benchmark is having a bar on Broadway street in. In Nashville.

[Eli]

It's a good name. When I head to Posties, that's like.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, like, everything's got your name on it. So like, Alan Jackson had one. Okay, so like Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, Post Malone.

[Eli]

No Luke.

[Cody]

We should do the gang does Posties. We just go to, like, after all this madness is done, we just go down to Nashville for a weekend, check out his bar, hang around Nashville soon. That'd be kind of fun.

[Eli]

Yeah, Be good.

[Cody]

Little gang does exclusive.

[Nick]

That's.

[Eli]

I think, like, those would be really fun gang episodes.

[Nick]

But then we have to. We. We can't tell Zach we're going. That's the funny part. It's so mean.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's not even funny.

[Nick]

It's just.

[Cody]

Nick's just being malicious when.

[Nick]

We'Re at the airport.

[Eli]

Had a blast for a whole week.

[Brandon Herrera]

In, but we tag him like he was there.

[Cody]

Nick's just a bully, dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

Jeez. You know that friend that, like, never really gets to hang out with us that much. What if we went to his hometown and then, like, didn't talk to him?

[Nick]

That'd be hilarious.

[Eli]

And we don't ever address it. That would eat him up. I would with it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Or even meaner. We photoshop him into the background of photos organically, like he was there and tag him.

[Cody]

The dude that's been my right hand man for like three years now.

[Nick]

Zach, you were there the entire time. You were just really excited.

[Cody]

What are you talking about?

[Brandon Herrera]

Counterpoint. Funny, funny.

[Nick]

Forgot about that.

[Eli]

We get his family.

[Nick]

We convince him he got Mandela affected.

[Eli]

We bring his family out, not him.

[Cody]

Oh, my God. I love you, Zachary.

[Eli]

The wife's like, yeah, we were there. What are you talking about, babe?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, it was great.

[Nick]

We hung out.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, you told the donkey story again. For some reason, like, it was.

[Eli]

You tripped, you fell, hit your head really hard. We thought that was weird, but yeah, that was a blast. We drive crazy. Just literally drive him nuts.

[Cody]

His mind just basically eats itself.

[Brandon Herrera]

So For Veterans Month, we're start strong. We're openly gaslighting our body with tbi.

[Nick]

A nonprofit where we gaslight veterans into thinking they had fun.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's far cheaper.

[Nick]

100% of donations will just be used for us to have fun and Photoshop other people in the background.

[Eli]

You pay us to get Photoshopped.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's still more effective than unfortunately.

[Eli]

Yeah. Well, bad. You were with us. Here's what you did. I like the idea of just psyoping.

[Brandon Herrera]

Zach just for no reason.

[Nick]

Just because he would have the best reaction to it.

[Brandon Herrera]

He would.

[Nick]

His reaction to it would be so good.

[Cody]

The nicest person I know. Yeah, let's with him, dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yes.

[Cody]

Yeah. Okay.

[Nick]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Correct.

[Eli]

It's all calling him individually. Dude. That was a blast last week. Thanks again.

[Brandon Herrera]

Thanks for coming out. See? Thanks for showing us around. You know, we all appreciate your time.

[Nick]

When he goes to the gym, we get Chrissy in on it and we go into his house and take pictures. Hanging out in front of the TV like we were there just for more evidence.

[Eli]

Working on his deck.

[Brandon Herrera]

Tyler Durdening, our friend for no reason.

[Nick]

We can do it.

[Eli]

Four months.

[Brandon Herrera]

Are we still going to the aquarium?

[Eli]

Yeah, let's go. Let's go to the aquarium. Surf shark. I love it. You're going to go to. Are you going to range day, right?

[Nick]

Should be better. Yeah. I was like, is Nick coming?

[Eli]

That's why I wasn't sure.

[Nick]

I have a question. How far is the. The trip from the hotel to the range?

[Cody]

45 minutes. But we have buses.

[Nick]

You got transportation?

[Cody]

Yeah, we have buses lined up for it. Everything's handled. Good ammo, guns, buses, food. Everything's good to go gambling.

[Nick]

Sweet.

[Cody]

We're not paying for that.

[Eli]

Yeah, that would be a dope ass. You guess. Give people money to go gamble. It's like, oh, strange dates. Dope is shit.

[Brandon Herrera]

What were we almost paying for the gambling?

[Nick]

Open, open poker table.

[Brandon Herrera]

Depends on how well we do.

[Nick]

I'll let Papa Meat gamble with my money.

[Cody]

Absolutely.

[Nick]

That's about it, though.

[Cody]

Can we all just invest in him?

[Eli]

Yeah, that's what I'm.

[Cody]

I'm down.

[Eli]

We just. All our money goes towards him. It's like, here, make us more money.

[Cody]

It's like a hedge fund.

[Nick]

It's like a hedge fund. He's our gambling hedge fund's gambling hedge fund.

[Cody]

Like, hey, man, I was going to spend this, this weekend, but I'd rather just you have it.

[Eli]

Have we ever seen him lose?

[Cody]

No, I've never seen him lose.

[Nick]

Never.

[Eli]

Like he walks, always was like a stack.

[Cody]

I've seen him lose one hand, but then the next hand win triple. So I've never seen him actually go down or be under.

[Eli]

I can't wait. Like, not a fan of Vegas.

[Cody]

You're gonna like Circa way more than where we normally stay.

[Eli]

We.

[Nick]

Was it.

[Eli]

Or was it Brandon? Who did we go and watch that fight at with Circle? Were you there?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, that was the Strickland fight.

[Eli]

Okay. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Cody, you weren't there yet. That was. Dude, that was a blast. Were you there?

[Nick]

I was not there.

[Eli]

At the fire.

[Nick]

No.

[Eli]

Really? No.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think it was us and the girls.

[Eli]

Okay.

[Brandon Herrera]

And maybe somebody else. It was Nico too. Yep. Yeah. We went at the stadium swim and watched the Circa fight, which is. Or the Circa fight. The. The Strickland fight, which is, I think when he lost to Du Plessis.

[Eli]

Yep.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Whoops.

[Brandon Herrera]

Lost 100 bucks. That night.

[Eli]

But, dude, that was a good. That pool.

[Nick]

I love the Du Plessis memes, though.

[Brandon Herrera]

What memes?

[Nick]

Just because he always, like, he pulls off moves, it should not be possible. It's like duplasty. Round three, tomfoolery. Like, just taking duplicity. Round one, comically large hammer. All the memes like that were so funny. He's got like, a montage of him just, like, doing crazy shit that shouldn't work, and he pulls it off.

[Brandon Herrera]

See the one where it's the. The Black History Month one.

[Eli]

Oh, dude, the.

[Brandon Herrera]

The Nina interview.

[Nick]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like, oh, it's Black History Month.

[Nick]

Cool.

[Brandon Herrera]

Happy.

[Nick]

Happy Black History Month. I don't.

[Eli]

What do you want me to say to this? You're Mexican.

[Nick]

Yes.

[Eli]

Cool.

[Nick]

Happy Black History Month.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, God, it's. But nobody beats. Well, I was gonna say nobody beat Sean Strickland, but, I mean, diplessi. But nobody be Sean Strickland when it comes for. To interviews. No, by God. But has to be by far one of the most entertaining fighters who's ever lived. Like, not even in an inorganic, like, oh, you know, promoting fights kind of way. Like, the guy's just naturally fighting. Hilarious.

[Eli]

He. He is as. You get what you see.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah.

[Eli]

When he's. Who's the one Brazilian jiu jitsu guy that paid for his belt?

[Nick]

Like, you're gonna have to be more specific.

[Eli]

He's like that billionaire that everyone's like, oh, he's good.

[Nick]

Moneyburg.

[Eli]

Yeah. Money.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Eli]

But Sean, when he. Did you see that?

[Nick]

Yeah. Now he's saying that Sean's ducking him. I was like, that's not true.

[Eli]

Well, did you see Sean interacting with him?

[Nick]

No.

[Eli]

When they ran into each other.

[Cody]

This.

[Eli]

Is like the one time they meet and you figure like, hey, how you doing? Hey, how you doing? Get like, Sean's like this fucking retard. And you're like, oh, I did see that. You just start hard. And Moneyburg's like, why you gotta be a dick, man? Like, attacking him. He's like, I don't think you're good. I'll fight you right now.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're talking about the guy who looks like the fat J.D. vance memes. Yes.

[Nick]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Okay.

[Nick]

And like, I've seen footage of him drilling and stuff. And it's like, that's not black belt.

[Brandon Herrera]

That all he just like, is he just like a rich guy that started.

[Nick]

Paying to show up on. He's a billionaire that. Suppose the story is he's a billionaire that was paying an outrageous amount of Money to high level black belts for private lessons. And like, if you pay for private lessons, in theory, you should get better because, you know, sole attention is on you. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Takes on average 10 years to get a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. There's like a handful of A prodigies, but B prodigies that literally said, I'm going to go live in a jiu jitsu gym and train three times a day and that's my job. That have gotten their black belt in like three and four years that have pulled it off. And this guy supposedly got his black belt in four years and he's like in his 50s.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Nick]

It's like, no.

[Eli]

And you see his mistakes he makes.

[Nick]

On rolling, like wearing socks. Also, he's dropping training footage of him in no GI wearing socks.

[Brandon Herrera]

Moneyburg has to be the most anti Semitic thing.

[Nick]

I don't think that's his real name. I think that's like his nickname.

[Eli]

Okay.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm like, that can't be real, right?

[Eli]

Do we have to bleep it out now that it's just called a Moneyburg?

[Nick]

No, that's his name. That's what he calls himself.

[Eli]

Oh, does he?

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Eli]

What is his name now? Moneyburg.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm like that.

[Eli]

One dude, rule them all.

[Brandon Herrera]

A branding choice, I suppose.

[Eli]

His name is Moneyburg.

[Nick]

Oh, Derek Moneyburg. Never mind. As an entrepreneur, he received his black belt in three and a half years. Yeah, that's like the. There's like a handful of high level Jiu jitsu people that have done it, but they're all like world champions. Like, I think BJ Penn got his black belt in like three or four years and he became a world champion, a UFC champion, and he lived at the gym and a van outside the gym the entire time.

[Brandon Herrera]

You don't know what kind of high level stuff they're teaching in the tunnel.

[Nick]

And the dreidel continues to spin.

[Brandon Herrera]

I just like it when I get a Nick laugh.

[Eli]

Derek Moneyburg's real name is Dale Bukowski.

[Nick]

Okay.

[Cody]

Same.

[Nick]

I didn't think that was a real name.

[Eli]

Yeah, he goes by Moneyburg, though.

[Nick]

It's not good.

[Eli]

No, no, we have. Man. I don't know if you guys got any. I was telling Brandon earlier today at the gym it was fighters reaching out or people for fighters reaching out and be like, hey, well, how he would like to be on your podcast after the Don Fry.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Podcast dropped.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Don was. That was such a fun podcast. That was cool.

[Eli]

As Don speaks in Super Diesel. Yeah. And dude, the one the it had me rolling is I read a comment and I didn't watch the video yet. Brandon bulls up a clip and it's like, take a shot. Every time Don says, oh, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Or was it wow.

[Eli]

Yeah, wow, wow. He just says it the entire time as he's carrying guns and looking at like, okay, this dope.

[Cody]

He's been coming across my feed non stop since we hung out with him.

[Nick]

He's so funny.

[Cody]

Yeah, the phone knew his voice or something. I got one today of him making fun of Rogan the first time he ever met him.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, he's.

[Cody]

He's talking about. He was on. What was that. That show that Rogan had?

[Nick]

Fear Factory?

[Cody]

No, no, the news. It was like the news or something like that.

[Nick]

Yeah, I know what you're talking about.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was like a character on Friends. I don't know if it was Friends, but it was something like that.

[Cody]

But it was like news station radio or something like that. And Don, the first time he met Rogan at UFC 12, he was like, oh, yeah, a guy that acts like a idiot on that news show or something like that. And he was. He didn't know until years, like, like later on that that's. That was like Rogan's character. And he had just called him a, like, acting like a dumbass on that show.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was news radio. He was like, I didn't.

[Eli]

I. I didn't know I was insulting.

[Cody]

You at the time.

[Eli]

He's still now my favorite person to text me because he calls me partner.

[Nick]

Don Fry has like Terminator vision. You know how it, like, analyzes everything and like, classifies it as just ma' am partner. Only three things that pops up on Don's Terminator vision. Only three.

[Eli]

Now I'm just picturing the red and pin walking M.

[Cody]

He's talking to my 16 year old. Yeah, yeah, tits.

[Eli]

Especially tits.

[Cody]

He's talking to my 16 year old. We went to dinner afterwards and it was the most interesting conversation to hear ever because he, like, my. My son still won't drink Diet Coke. He only drinks unsweetened tea because Don told him to do that. And one of the things I did pick up while listening to him, Don's just like, yes, don't be huge.

[Nick]

Worth to live by.

[Brandon Herrera]

Thanks, Uncle Don.

[Nick]

We need to invest in a new company that makes fortune cookies with just Don Fryisms inside of them.

[Eli]

Oh, my gosh.

[Cody]

Friasms.

[Eli]

Such a good business model.

[Nick]

Don Fry, fortune cookies.

[Brandon Herrera]

Frychen cookie or something like that. I don't know. There's some. There's bones to this.

[Eli]

Never quit. Get a prenup. It's literally shit. He says, make it a double.

[Nick]

I don't want you to wear out your shoes.

[Eli]

I didn't even know about that.

[Nick]

That.

[Eli]

Was it you that told me that one?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli]

I was like, what the fuck did he say?

[Brandon Herrera]

He set the tone very, very good early on with showing up to breakfast and ordering a double bourbon neat.

[Eli]

And then the lady.

[Nick]

Because he ordered a single the first time, and she goes to walk away and make it a double. I don't want you to wear out your shoes.

[Eli]

When he called Finn every time Finn.

[Brandon Herrera]

Would be in the room, was that when he was leaving? Like, walking away? He's like, you late to go protest something?

[Cody]

Hello.

[Eli]

The one with the big tits make my drink. It's like, that's sad.

[Brandon Herrera]

The. The level of bourbons with Don Don Fry, you can go from ma' am to bar wench.

[Eli]

It's so true. Oh, man. We need some classics like that. I don't know any of the other primo old OG UFC fighters.

[Nick]

We'd. Randy Couture.

[Brandon Herrera]

Randy Couture. We need to get Chuck eventually. Chuck could be a fun one.

[Cody]

We still have Chuck on.

[Eli]

No, Chuck would be a good one.

[Cody]

He was going to come to bachelor weekend with us.

[Eli]

Oh, yeah.

[Cody]

He ended up having to stay back for some business.

[Brandon Herrera]

Plus he just got married. Yeah. Literally, like this weekend, I think.

[Eli]

Yeah. I'm trying to think. Anyone else?

[Brandon Herrera]

Dan.

[Eli]

Dan to be Severn would be a fun one.

[Nick]

Dan Henderson would be a hilarious one.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's what I was talking about. Yeah, Dan's cool.

[Eli]

Is he good on the mic?

[Nick]

Yeah, he's hilarious. You're the stories about Dana and him back in, like, early UFC days. Dana's got this story that he's told before, or maybe I read it in one of the books that I read. I read, like, all the old UFC guys books in high school. And Dana White has this story about going out to a club in Las Vegas with a Dan Henderson, and somebody's getting in Dana White's face, and the dude's got, like, some dime piece with him. And Dana White goes, look, dude, that's Dan Henderson. And he's with me. If you don't knock it off, I'm going to have him beat the out of you. And Dan Henderson looks at the guy. Why would I beat him down when I could just stare him down? And the dude just leaves the bar. Pat Militage would also be a great one to have on.

[Eli]

He's the one with the ID The ID story still one of my favorite.

[Nick]

He's fantastic on. On podcasts and stuff. He has a podcast of his own. He does like conspiracy stuff. So he'd be awesome.

[Eli]

It was probably. Yeah. I mean, Those are the OGs. Any of the modern fighters, if you want to come on down. Or Mike Tyson. I interview him.

[Brandon Herrera]

Ties would be fun.

[Cody]

That'd be a good one. I was going to say going back to couture.

[Brandon Herrera]

He was.

[Cody]

He was at Burbiz.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Cody]

Last year.

[Nick]

Holy shit. Every year.

[Brandon Herrera]

He's super.

[Cody]

Yeah, he. So like, I forgot he went to Burbiz with like Rich probably knows us. We probably. Probably get him on.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Cody]

Him and. Him and Chuck especially. I think they. They were probably the big two that we could get down that we. We all have the same friends in.

[Nick]

That era for sure.

[Eli]

The no Gear era.

[Nick]

I want to get Daniel Cormier would be great to have on and so would Cain Velasquez.

[Eli]

Both of those. And then add on. My balls are hot.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, no.

[Nick]

Derek Lewis.

[Eli]

Derek Lewis would be a.

[Nick]

He'd be awesome.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Vlasquez is like in legal trouble though.

[Brandon Herrera]

He shot a guy, right?

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli]

I thought he was in jail or is he out?

[Nick]

I think he might still be in jail, but he like, somebody. Somebody either tried or successfully like assaulted one of his sons and he went after him.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yep.

[Eli]

Yeah, dude, that just the one dude that's running for sheriff right now that.

[Nick]

Killed the judge that assaulted his kid. And it's like on video.

[Eli]

Yeah, yeah.

[Nick]

And that's a crazy story.

[Eli]

And now he's running for sheriff. He's. His trial is in jail.

[Nick]

He's out on bail for shooting a judge in office.

[Eli]

He was.

[Brandon Herrera]

He was.

[Cody]

Yeah, he was the one that walked into his office in the courthouse and just shot him.

[Nick]

Yeah. And he's out on bail for it right now. And while he's out on bail, he's running for sheriff.

[Eli]

That's the one.

[Cody]

Hell yeah, dude.

[Eli]

That's the one. The 14 year old daughter.

[Brandon Herrera]

They were.

[Nick]

Yes.

[Eli]

Yes. Okay.

[Brandon Herrera]

This country's cool sometimes.

[Eli]

Yeah. I was reading the story. I was like, oh, he's. Oh, no. That's a video of him right now saying, I'm running for sheriff and I did what any dad would do. I was like, yeah, homie. And he'll probably.

[Brandon Herrera]

Probably win.

[Eli]

Yep.

[Nick]

I mean, yeah.

[Eli]

Because people were sitting that there. Like, this guy would be cool to be on Uno. I'm like, yeah, I'm g. I don't.

[Cody]

Give a hell yeah.

[Eli]

Be a wild.

[Cody]

You know, I'M all into that.

[Nick]

Unsubscribe podcast.

[Eli]

The.

[Nick]

One of the leading podcast in interviewing veterans, old UFC fighters, and guys that shoot.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Who really are.

[Brandon Herrera]

Why Gary?

[Nick]

Why Trident of Content.

[Eli]

We got Alaskan Avenger. I'm talking to him. He's down to. Come on.

[Nick]

That'd be dad.

[Brandon Herrera]

Be cool.

[Eli]

His story's wild. Did you see that? We're gonna get a picture of him.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Eli]

Where he's just smiling. His brother. Yeah. Because he's like, well, yeah, I did it and my brother. I did it for my brother and me because everything that happened. So that's why I'm smiling in that.

[Brandon Herrera]

We gotta get J.D. on that one.

[Eli]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was. Oh, man. Those are the fun. Yeah. We do have a quite narrow. You want to learn history or about getting killed?

[Brandon Herrera]

Why not both?

[Nick]

War history, MMA history, or shooting history? Which. Which route do you want to go down?

[Cody]

Which way?

[Brandon Herrera]

Western, man.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Eli]

And then I don't know what we're gonna do for the last episode of the. The veteran one. We just need to find one more.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, no. How in our group will we find a veteran to put on the podcast?

[Eli]

Touche.

[Brandon Herrera]

We've. We've got quite the. Quite the laundry list, I think. Yeah. It just all depends on who we want to have.

[Eli]

Like Weimer fly down, bro. Just tell some stories. One or two.

[Cody]

Hexa.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hexath.

[Eli]

Two.

[Brandon Herrera]

He's kind of busy. He's a little busy.

[Cody]

Come on. Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Did you Even if we got it for 10 minutes.

[Nick]

Did you see that he booted the National Guardsmen that were in that picture?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yep.

[Nick]

Wait, get the out those National Guardsmen that were like, kind of fat bodies that were getting out of the trucks and, like, made all the headline news. He. I don't think he kicked him out. He took them off active duty orders and, like, sent him to fat camp.

[Eli]

AKA boot camp.

[Brandon Herrera]

State, state mandated fat camp is something I'm here for.

[Nick]

When I was in. When I was in the army, they had fat camp.

[Brandon Herrera]

Dude.

[Nick]

I.

[Eli]

They. You weren't allowed to. If you were in basic training, let's say you were. Drill sergeants are mean. It's like what Rich does. Yeah, they're very mean. If you are fat out of shape, couldn't do sit ups, we would show up. I mean, showing up to basic, you had kids that could not do a single sit up, which is wild. And then they have eight. They have special forces contracts and you're like, homie, they you. I'm gonna pass it. Like, nope, you're doing five years they got you five years in the infantry, and that's it. And you're not getting your bonus either. Have fun. But seeing the fat bodies and then the people defending the fat bodies. Defending is wild because it is. People still mad. It's like, if they're. If they do paperwork or office, why do they have to be in shape?

[Brandon Herrera]

Why are they jumping out of a truck with a rifle?

[Eli]

It's one of those wild ones that's fat pieces of. I'm like, you're in the military.

[Nick]

Look, you can frame it any way you want. There's a certain group of people that just hate standards.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yes.

[Nick]

There's no other way to explain it.

[Brandon Herrera]

What? You don't know, I don't care.

[Nick]

I don't care.

[Eli]

What?

[Nick]

It's the jd, My favorite.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't give a. Margaret. I just don't want them in my country. Paraphrasing.

[Nick]

God, did you see Don Lemon trying to do man on the Street? Yeah.

[Cody]

And everyone agreed that the National Guard should be there.

[Nick]

No, no, no, no. Not that. He was going around being like, how do you feel about illegal immigrants being in the country? And this lady's like, well, if they're illegal, I don't. That's. They're breaking the law. And he goes, they're not breaking the law. It's a misdemeanor. And she's like, confused. And then her husband steps in and he goes, a misdemeanor means you're breaking the law. And he goes, no, it doesn't. It's like a traffic ticket. And he goes, a misdemeanor literally means breaking a law lesser than a felony. It's breaking a law. And he goes, well, now you're getting into semantics.

[Brandon Herrera]

So I just know the definition of the fucking word.

[Eli]

So you're telling me a DUI or any of this is not breaking the law?

[Nick]

He's like, well, yeah.

[Eli]

He's like, those are misdemeanors. Well, it's different. So that's when he says somatics after he points out a dui. This guy Jake's a lawyer, so he's going to appreciate it's literally saying misdemeanors are not breaking the law.

[Nick]

You can have a substantive conversation of being like, hey, do you agree with how we're going about handling the illegal immigration situation? You can have a real conversation about, maybe we should be handling it different. Maybe we should be doing that. But when you come out swinging with. I'm just going to change the definitions of words. So I'm right.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's what drives me fucking crazy.

[Nick]

Great.

[Brandon Herrera]

That they will. They will straight up, like, they'll change definitions of words. I mean, we saw it in the vaccine thing where they're like, oh, oh, shit. Now that the vaccine that we've been pushing doesn't actually. Doesn't actually protect you from this disease. It just makes it slightly less bad, I guess, is what we're going for. They change the definition of the word when you're changing definitions of words, and especially when the one side is pretending not to understand the situation and trying to misrepresent. It's like you actually make dialogue impossible. Like you are an impossible human to talk to.

[Eli]

That was a rough one to watch.

[Brandon Herrera]

Now I'm angry. What are we doing here?

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Cody]

Oh, were we just scrolling Twitter there?

[Eli]

I know I don't get on Twitter enough.

[Cody]

I don't.

[Eli]

I'll let you guys do it.

[Cody]

Yeah, we'll do that.

[Eli]

I let you all handle Twitter. I'll get on. And I'm like, oh, yeah. Ooh, speaking of which, I like Brandon's thing. If it pops up, I'm going to.

[Brandon Herrera]

Be like, hold the.

[Cody]

Away from you.

[Nick]

What's Tony up to?

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't know. I'm about to find out.

[Nick]

Tony.

[Eli]

Oh, yeah, we have. Brandon's coming up, too.

[Nick]

I.

[Eli]

At the time of this. Will everything be full swing November 1st? It's full swing already, but will he have announced if he's running or not or.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, there's a few things that's contingent on. But the.

[Eli]

That horse.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, something about horses, I guess. I don't know. Well. Well, things are already pretty much full swing. Things will continue to heat up as it gets closer to the election. So the election is on March 3, 2026. That's the primary election. So in District 23, it's a very, very conservative district. So the primary is the election. If I win the primary, I basically guarantee to win the general if he wins the primary, same. So, yeah, March 3rd is the election in this district, for all intents and purposes. So as things continue to get closer to like, January, February, that's where things are going to continue to get ugly again. But I don't know, I. We got better name recognition this time, we got a better map this time. He has not done himself any favors. His negatives are still in the. You know, his. He's just a bad.

[Nick]

Tony Gonzalez. As a military veteran, I know what it's like to go through a shutdown without pay me. I wish you knew what it was like to not fuck Your married staffers allegedly.

[Eli]

Said that you.

[Brandon Herrera]

God damn. You know what? If you don't like people calling you out for doing bad shit, stop doing bad. Yeah, it's that easy.

[Eli]

I still, like, don't cheat on your.

[Nick]

Wife with your employees. And I won't say it out loud.

[Brandon Herrera]

All right? That's the other thing that drives me crazy. And this is something I didn't want to, you know, be.

[Cody]

All Helms Deep.

[Eli]

I just love Helms Deep over here.

[Nick]

He's like this, and he's like, hey, can I sit?

[Eli]

I am so sorry. Well, that one's gone. I'm going to ask you the next ones. Okay.

[Brandon Herrera]

They spent so, so much time last time. Like, oh, did you know Brandon Herrera says the F word on the Internet? And he's portraying himself as like, oh, I'm the perfect wholesome Catholic family man. It's like, dude, come on. I didn't. I didn't bring up any of the affair stuff last time because, like, man, I don't really think your personal life should matter more than your voting record. I only attacked on policy. But for sake, stop pretending like you're a good dude.

[Eli]

Yeah, and the changing of personality, too, of now I'm going to be edgy and say, retard.

[Brandon Herrera]

He's. Oh, God, tried to be me, except, you know, didn't stop being a bad dude.

[Eli]

That was.

[Cody]

Sucks at it, too, man.

[Brandon Herrera]

Tried to be edgy. But how do you do my fellow Edgelords? Just cringe. Fire your advisors. Seriously.

[Cody]

I was born into edge.

[Brandon Herrera]

You morally adopted edging.

[Eli]

I don't know.

[Cody]

Key west was way gayer than I remember. Key West.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. We were staying on. What was it? I was east.

[Nick]

Now you know why I avoid the ocean.

[Cody]

So, you know, so when we went, just spin.

[Brandon Herrera]

Why do I dislike the ocean gaze the Nick.

[Eli]

It's like, what.

[Nick]

Is Duval?

[Cody]

I've never stayed on that side of the island. Which is funny because it's near the naval base.

[Eli]

It is small. That island is very small.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's walkable. Like, the whole fucking island is theoretically walking.

[Eli]

I mean, the last night I was there, I went, okay, Chris Columbus, Nick's on fire today.

[Brandon Herrera]

Nick, do you need to get laid?

[Eli]

He's so angry right now.

[Brandon Herrera]

He's angry.

[Eli]

He really laughs loud, too. Where did he go? Did he just leave?

[Cody]

Yeah, he just. He just left.

[Eli]

He flies over to Iowa. Yeah, he just. One hour of the show.

[Cody]

Killer joke.

[Brandon Herrera]

Leaves, refuses to elaborate.

[Eli]

Peace out.

[Cody]

Sorry. Oh, Happy Indigenous People's Day.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, sake.

[Eli]

What's the next. How's the, the, the PSG one going for you on your rebuild?

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, we're doing like a clone build. You're. You're gonna be the only one with like a real PSG1. We, we've got some PSG1 parts. We're gonna, you know, build out a G3.

[Eli]

Big fat.

[Brandon Herrera]

Sometimes that's a big.

[Eli]

That is the biggest, again, the largest forward assist I have ever seen in a firearm. Brandon's like, I don't think it has a Ford assist. I was like, I don't know. Is it for the optic? It is, you know, a little button for a Ford assistant.

[Cody]

Of course.

[Eli]

AR was a giant.

[Brandon Herrera]

I didn't even know the PSG one had one, dude.

[Eli]

It was like a full ass thumb.

[Cody]

Is that a marksmanship rifle?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yes.

[Cody]

Why does it need a giant fucking.

[Eli]

Well, we were.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm like, oh, so the G. G3, like an actual battle rifle doesn't need a forward assist, but our fucking designated marksman, like precision rifle. Sure.

[Eli]

Just forward assist possible. Okay, cool. Way bigger. Really, really big. What's the next gun? So you got that the Famas. But what's the next actual firearm you're gonna do for a video?

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh man, we got some cool stuff. I got that MGO A15. So like the, the German World War I, like the, essentially the beginning of the light machine gun.

[Eli]

Oh, the water cool one.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, it's water cooled. It's like basically just like they took a maximum. They're like, what if we had a big ass dude carry this instead of it being like a carriage mounted gun. So I got that. The MP18, which is like one of the first ever like produced military submachine guns, which is cool. It's the one that's got like the 32 round Luger drum on the side.

[Eli]

On the side. You hold it like that.

[Brandon Herrera]

If anybody's played Battlefield 1, you know. But I've got that. I've got. I've got a couple fun ones. We're still working on rebuilding like an Uzi. Rebuilding an Ultimax. Like the constant recoil, like zero recoil light machine gun.

[Eli]

Wait, what?

[Brandon Herrera]

The Ultimax, how the fuck's that work? It's continuous recoil, so the bolt carrier never really bottoms out. So there's never that recoil relatable, is it? God damn it, Nick. I just. I'm derailed now.

[Nick]

That's what I'm calling it from now on.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just got stun locked mid explanation.

[Eli]

Last damage.

[Brandon Herrera]

Flashback.

[Nick]

Pew view. Outdid all of us. By the way, on coolest gun content.

[Eli]

What'd he do?

[Nick]

He went out to some farm in Iowa. They had an old big ass old silo. They're made out of like clay tiles. And he just posted a video of him and his buddy with it. Full auto M16s. And they took down the whole silo.

[Eli]

He could have silo.

[Nick]

He got a silo down with, I think he said 400 rounds.

[Brandon Herrera]

I mean, I guess that's kind of cool.

[Nick]

And his caption was renting. Renting a wrecking ball was 800. 400 rounds of ammunition was. Whatever it was, it was cheaper.

[Eli]

Yeah, but way cooler.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like one of those hotel Trivago ads.

[Eli]

Yeah. So what's the.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Taking down a grain silo with multiple machine guns. Priceless.

[Eli]

Dude, that's fucking Priceline. What is. How does the Endless site. Was it just coming close? How does that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, so basically It's. So it's a 556 light machine gun. So it's. I think it's Korean, if I'm not mistaken. But yeah, it's in the new battlefield. But yeah, just like fires and it's like a. It's a. It continuously gets more aggressive as it goes to the rear.

[Nick]

What, they decided to cut down a silo with guns?

[Brandon Herrera]

I've seen people do that before. Is that just a thing in the Midwest, there's just silos to take down.

[Nick]

Yeah. What else are you gonna do?

[Brandon Herrera]

Leave them standing, I assume.

[Cody]

What the are they doing?

[Nick]

900 bullets to bring that down. It's strong gust of wind.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's cool.

[Eli]

That's.

[Nick]

Let Mother nature do all the work.

[Cody]

Brandon, Dude, I got something cool from Clean the other day.

[Eli]

What was that?

[Cody]

He sold me his Knights armament SR25.

[Eli]

Oh, you got real SR25 now?

[Cody]

Yeah, dude, I've been wanting that for a while. We got to talk and I was like, let me, let me buy.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm better than last. How much?

[Cody]

Look at this.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Oh, no, I was just. Yeah.

[Cody]

It'S a real one, man. Yeah, I'm happy about that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, the. The Ultimax, though, the one last thing on that is there's. It's actually so good at recoil mitigation. There's videos of dudes, like, putting it on their nose. Like the stock against their nose and just ripping it.

[Nick]

Yeah, like it sounds accurate.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm done. I'm. I'm tired.

[Eli]

I've never heard of this thing. I'm like, what the no recoil is. Why even on single, you've actually shot mine.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was years ago.

[Cody]

Had to been a minute Ago.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, it was years ago. We, we haven't quite finished the rebuild. The like the, the reweld. We got a kit for it. So like you want to make sure you get it really straight or else you start having malfunctions and different stuff like that. But it's, it's a dope gun.

[Eli]

I'm trying to think what it even looks like.

[Cody]

Ultimax here, I'm looking for a.

[Eli]

Here you go.

[Cody]

Oh God. That was a long time ago.

[Eli]

Like that's insane.

[Brandon Herrera]

It just doesn't move. Yeah, it just. It. All things considered, it's very, very easy to control. Yeah.

[Cody]

Here you go.

[Brandon Herrera]

There's a dude one handed watch like controlling a light machine gun, firing it over his head. Like.

[Cody]

That'S ridiculous.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, I'm excited to get that up.

[Nick]

The American exchange student in Harry Potter.

[Brandon Herrera]

But they put it in the new battlefield and I saw there's some streamers that are like this gun is broken. It shouldn't. They, they, they deleted the recoil. And I'm like, I have one. This is how it fires in real life. Well, you think that all video games should be like real life and like ooh, blah, blah, like balance isn't important. Like Chad. Yes.

[Eli]

I still don't get how it's done.

[Brandon Herrera]

So a lot of the recoil impulse.

[Eli]

That you feel is like the buffer tube like hitting the.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, well, because they're trying to like condense and they're making, they're trying to make the gun as light as possible and as compact as possible and reliable and everything like that. So like a lot of times, like the, the majority of the recoil impulse you, you feel is the bolt carrier hitting the back of the gun. And like you can even watch super slow motion. As soon as the bolt carry hits the back, that's when you see the impulse. So already 5.56 you're not dealing with a lot. It's a fairly heavy gun. That helps a bit too. But the fact that it never bottoms out. So like at some point it'll just slow down and stop on its own accord and then go back forward so it's not smacking the rear of the gun.

[Eli]

How does that work with like. So direct blowback is heavier recoil than roller delayed.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. This is gas. Odd though. Okay, so it's not a. Not. No. An open bolt or. Excuse me, a direct blowback 5, 5, 6 would go crazy because you'd have to have very, very heavy bolt. Like there is math technically to make it happen. So like things like the Orlican are crazy. Because they figured out how to make.

[Eli]

That was the. Brandon's most autistic thing. You're like things like the Overman with the hair back. I was like, oh, he's getting into it now. I like it. Go.

[Brandon Herrera]

Listen here, kitten. Daddy's going to drop some autistic knowledge on you now.

[Eli]

I'm here for it.

[Brandon Herrera]

The Oerlikin was crazy because. And I've been looking for one of these forever. It was like a 20 millimeter deck gun. And they, they wanted it basically a direct blowback open bolt. 20 millimeter. Like big fucking 20 millimeter. And instead of making the bolt like, I don't know, whatever, you'd have to make that like £200 to not explode. They ended up making it what's called advanced ignition, which is like the sketchiest shit ever. Because advanced ignition basically says we're going to use the forward momentum of the bolt to act theoretically as extra weight, because an object in motion is going to be the effective force to pull it, push it backwards is going to. I'm explaining this poorly, but it would basically make up for the lack of weight because you're got the forward momentum on it.

[Eli]

And object in motion.

[Nick]

Mass times acceleration. You don't want to increase mass, so you increase acceleration. Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Problem being that the only way to get that mass going forward, that inertia, is you have to ignite the cartridge before it's in the chamber. Oh, advanced ignition.

[Eli]

Wait, like you like open battery almost.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yes, you are fire. The cartridge is starting to go off before the 20 millimeter cartridge is fully in the chamber in battery.

[Eli]

That's fucking terrifying.

[Brandon Herrera]

Horrific, but they work.

[Nick]

Have you seen. Have you seen your narrator's story that went viral? He was on a podcast talking about shooting a javelin because he was a javelin guy, which the.

[Eli]

He has the record for. Like.

[Nick]

Yeah, the story of how he broke the record.

[Eli]

Yeah, he's told it on stuff so good. I forget it though.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, he details.

[Nick]

He was lined up and they're like, okay, prepare to fire. And he prepares to fire. Like once you hit the. I'm firing the javelin. Like you only have so long until it just blows the up. And he's like, nobody else realized that except for him. And he's like, guys, I have 15 seconds. Seconds to fire this or it's blowing up. And they like get on the phone and make a call and they're like, fire at the target. And he mistook what target they wanted and he aimed for one that was like 5,000 yards away and like broke the Course record for the longest javelin hit ever.

[Eli]

There was like a general there and he did all this. And it was an accident. That.

[Nick]

That's really far.

[Brandon Herrera]

Singing like all the, the generals and officers like, oh.

[Eli]

I forgot about that story.

[Nick]

I just did a, did a video on drops tomorrow. Bazooka Charlie.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm looking forward to that.

[Nick]

You know. You know what a liaison pilot is? World War II. So like World War II, they just got the idea. They were like, okay, well, we had like weather balloons in World War I for, you know, up high recon. We want a plane that can do that. So basically they were getting these pilots that would go up in these. They called them L4 grasshoppers. But it was just a J3 Piper Cub. It was like level one flying plane that you would learn on super light fabric wings that could loiter for hours. Like a crop duster. And these guys would go up in a crop duster and fucking call in artillery. Well, Bazooka Charlie was a 29 year old history teacher whose brother was captured by the Japanese in a POW camp. And he was sick of just calling in artillery and not being able to engage the enemy. So he rigged three bazookas on each wing and was dive bombing German tanks and shooting six bazookas at him and pulling up. And he, he has six confirmed German tank kills. Two of them are Tigers, which is the German heavy tank. And he has like suspected like up upwards of 16. But it's just this crazy story. This guy that was just like, fuck it, I'm going to send it. Like, he's like, he's like, can I do this? They're like not gonna say you can't. And they're like, cool. And he's just dive bombing German tanks in a crop duster.

[Eli]

Is he like strings attached to shoot?

[Nick]

No, he rigged up a control panel with electrical so he would send electrical impulses into the bazookas. But like there was one day battle at Aracourt. It's the biggest tank battle on the western front between Americans and the Germans. I think America had like 130 Shermans and the Germans had like 240 armored vehicles and tanks. Like heavily outnumbered. But America had air superiority. But there was all this fog so American planes couldn't go up. So Bazooka Charlie goes up anyways and like basically stalls the Germans till the weather clears because there's just a crop duster spawning out of the fog, taking out tanks and they're like, what the fuck is going on? So they like stall out until the fog lifts. And then America regains air superiority. It's like a huge strategic win. But it's crazy.

[Eli]

It was just. Again, how did he sign up for that? It's just he.

[Nick]

He had heard when he was in theater, he heard that somebody had done it with, ah, bazooka. So he's like, I'm gonna figure it out. Which, like, where did he get the extra bazooka? Everybody's like, I would. That was my question War II. Dude, there's loot crates everywhere in World War II. That's one thing. I've just built this and sending it over, you didn't have to do. You didn't have to ask for a thing.

[Brandon Herrera]

Crate lands. A blessing from the Lord. Like, 18 bazookas.

[Nick]

Yeah. So Battle of Aracor. He made three runs. So, like, he flew up, fired six bazookas, landed, got replenished, went up again, fired him, went up again. They said, I think he. He fired no less than 16 bazooka shells during the Battle of Aracourt in one day. I love it.

[Eli]

The Germans, it's like, oh, it's a crop duster. It is.

[Nick]

Well, that's the funny part is, like, a lot of people at the time didn't understand or didn't think it would even be possible because bazookas weren't that effective on German tanks. Like, you. You were hoping to take out the track and disable it. Bazooka. It could, but it was very unlikely to penetrate front or side armor of a German tank. So he was basically doing predecessor of the Javelin. Guess what the German engineers weren't expecting from the top.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Nick]

That's why it was so effective. That's how he was taking out tigers and shit. Because he was hitting them on the top.

[Brandon Herrera]

That makes sense.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Eli]

That's why I still cannot wrap my head around that.

[Nick]

I think in the video I go, the German engineers had no point in their meeting. Did anybody say, what if America develops the pro gamer move? And I had cut to the battlefield scene where the guy.

[Brandon Herrera]

I hate how accurate that is. 60 years before battlefield field.

[Eli]

Was he married?

[Nick]

Yes.

[Eli]

Babe, what the are you doing in the garage?

[Nick]

Shut up, Catherine.

[Eli]

Just welding Bunny.

[Nick]

Her name was Bunny.

[Eli]

Bunny.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's so much better welding them on.

[Eli]

And then not knowing if it's going to affect aerodynamics when you're flying.

[Cody]

I was thinking about that too.

[Nick]

That's the thing I talk about in the video is, like, nobody gives this guy credit for how hard. Like, there was a YouTube video or tutorial on how to do this. Like, and this is a Very, very small plane. Like they could only put one pilot in there with the radio.

[Cody]

How much is that thrust gonna your airplane?

[Nick]

So that surprisingly didn't it up. But the hard part.

[Brandon Herrera]

Recoilless, right?

[Nick]

Yeah, the hard part was the weight and figuring out where to mount it. Not to up the controls of the plane, you know, because you're mounting six metal tubes with rockets in them. So he had to figure out the right spot to mount them and how to bet like how far back, how far forward on what figured all that out.

[Cody]

Also he would have had to angle them like kind of towards his nose a little bit, right? Because when he's diving just to get him in the right spot.

[Nick]

They were dead straight. So like they didn't all converge. But he had different markings on the inside of his windshield. Cuz he did so many practice runs. He's like, that bazookas should hit there. Assuming it does what it's supposed to. Which it's a bazooka. It's basically a giant bottle rocket. We'll see what happens.

[Eli]

That's wild, dude. Dude, that's also dope as Bunny. I do. Like, that's the wife. Like, never mind. Our girl's walking out. If we're in a world war and like the girls coming into like unsub and we're just doing that in the backyard, just building weapons. They'd be like, oh my God.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's the funny part is like in your. Your mind, like she's there with him in theater bitching about like not having the laundry done or the. Well, take out the trash. I'm busy, honey.

[Nick]

It's. So he wrote hundreds of letters back home to his wife and his. His daughter like released a lot of these letters and she wrote a book to like validate her dad's story. And in some of the letters, it's just. It's funny his perspective because he's not telling his wife what he's doing. But he's like, sweetheart, I'm sorry. I'm not being a very good husband. I'm doing some dangerous shit. Like just straight up, like being honest. Why they're like, I'm taking some risks.

[Eli]

I'm going be straight with you, babe.

[Nick]

He's in a crop dust.

[Eli]

Yeah. You don't have to.

[Nick]

He talks. They talk about how he like per. He perfected his approach method. So in order to avoid anti. Originally they weren't shooting at the crop dusters because it was a poor exchange. You know what I mean? Like, oh, that guy's just up there spotting. We're just going to hide and not let him know where we are. Because if we shoot at him, he'll know where we are. Then artillery is going to rain down our forehead. And then he started dive bombing with bazookas. So they started shooting at crop dusters. So he had to figure out evasive maneuvers. And he would go up and do a corkscrew and down and what the freight dive bomb them, fire the bazookas at 300ft. He would go.

[Cody]

I thought you were talking about taking it at a grade. He would actually.

[Nick]

Yeah, he would. He would approach and corkscrew so he wouldn't get hit by anti aircraft fire. Literally.

[Eli]

Battlefield. I'm jumping out of my fucking.

[Nick]

Basically. Yeah.

[Eli]

And it's going straight at the ground.

[Nick]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Which I. The other surveillance planes that weren't doing that had to be like, dude, this guy, you're the reason why we're getting shot now.

[Eli]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Just set a tone.

[Eli]

A great job of that.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's like literally anything we have can pop, possibly kill you.

[Nick]

Other pilots started doing it. They just weren't as successful. They weren't the first. So they didn't get as much credit. You know what I mean? Other pilots did start to do it.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's pretty cool.

[Eli]

Bazooka Jet.

[Nick]

Wait, is it good? Charlie Bazooka Charlie. Charles Carpenter.

[Cody]

Didn't they give him a cool plane then after he, you know, why would he need one?

[Nick]

We don't want to switch it up.

[Eli]

He's up right now.

[Cody]

He's doing like the training wheels playing. It's like, why don't we give him.

[Brandon Herrera]

A real like cool plane?

[Nick]

Because he wouldn't take it. He's pro. He prestiged. He maxed out the starter item up with it.

[Cody]

The golden dunk on the drop Duster.

[Brandon Herrera]

He's got the, the, the molten lava camo on his.

[Nick]

Dude, he had a dope ass paint job. He had like, he had like a gold plane. He had like nose art on his crop duster. He said Rosie the Rocketer instead of Rosie the Riveter. It's dope.

[Brandon Herrera]

All right, bro. Joe bought the Battle Pass.

[Nick]

This game's not good unless you pay for it.

[Eli]

That's fucking wild.

[Brandon Herrera]

You get six bazookas. Mom only lets me have one.

[Eli]

We were in the last podcast I talked about was like, oh yeah, we the one fight. Well, Jim talked about having so many grenades and throwing. It was like, oh yeah, we'd get along on this one Firefight. We shot a lot of hedp from the203 like. And I, I Was like, man, I hope I actually. I don't know. Did I get that right? Igp Nick can start here. This is my buddy Ross that was in that firefight. Just read it out loud. If you.

[Nick]

Call me real quick. I got a question. What's your question? The one day we got in that stupid gunfight in the open field, that's me. It was out of our sector. Remember that? Yes, I remember that. I got bullet holes in my ACU top and some crap in my arm. You guys were pinned down, if I remember correctly. Yes. How many grenades did everyone fire those hepds?

[Eli]

Hmm.

[Nick]

It felt like a lot. That's what I was thinking. Like 18 or 20. I can't remember. Yeah, it was a ridiculous amount. I thought so. I was like, did I get the number right?

[Eli]

I was like, I think we fired 20 something. Hedge.

[Nick]

We fired a lot.

[Eli]

It was like a bad gun.

[Brandon Herrera]

That was another thing. Caper said that. He was like, oh, well, this guy, you know, I was, you know, trying to help out this guy. He was my M79 guy. Dude, like, in, like, in my soul. I was like, oh, this is so cool. Imagine just being able to casually say, like, oh, my M79 guy. Like, that's neat. 40 mils are just cool, you know? Doesn't take a lot to make us men happy. Just give us a couple grenades. We'll figure it out.

[Cody]

I don't like those guys over there.

[Nick]

You ever seen the baseball player? But, like, you ever seen the inside, how those things arm?

[Cody]

Because inside of a 79 or.

[Nick]

Yeah, any. Any 40 millimeter grenade, it's terrifying.

[Eli]

Ross's right up. Ross got a better write up for his purple heart than I did because it's got like. He got calf. His calf got hit and then bullet holes through it.

[Nick]

I forgot about all that.

[Eli]

Oh, war. I forget about any of my stories, period. I still have the paperwork from that in my arm.

[Cody]

This podcast is coming back in my day.

[Eli]

I know. Like, I completely forgot about that thing. I was like, wait, is my brain is not the best. Do I remember this right? Please don't be crazy. He's like, you fired one. I'm like, damn it. Okay, never mind.

[Brandon Herrera]

On Sub Episode 2700 okay, Uncle Eli, let's get you your oatmeal and let's go to bed.

[Eli]

Like, nine mil.

[Cody]

Our kids are like, how the did they raise us? Guesses as good as mine.

[Eli]

I gotta get out of here.

[Nick]

I hope my kids look back at this in their 30s and be like, God, look how politically correct dad was.

[Brandon Herrera]

Remember back before he, you know, according to Shane Gillis, the summer BOP of 2025.

[Eli]

I hate I had to have you guys explain that to me, that beat because I just didn't know.

[Nick]

What was that.

[Brandon Herrera]

I thought I heard a dog whistle.

[Eli]

I love my friends so much. Just good people. Oh, I missed everyone. I think on that note, we can close them out.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah.

[Eli]

And on that end, bomb.
