Date: October 19, 2025
Hosts: Eli Doubletap, Brandon Herrera, Donut Operator, Nick the Fat Electrician
Guest: Nico Ortiz

Episode Overview

In this lively episode, the Unsubscribe crew is joined by recurring guest and fan favorite, Nico Ortiz, who recently moved to Texas to be closer to his longtime podcast friends—but mostly, to avoid ever getting on a plane again. The group dives deep into the roots of Nico's intense aversion to flying, discusses wild consumer finance trends, modern masculinity, the fate of supercars, and their own uniquely “dude” brand of content creation. There are plenty of jokes, memes, and behind-the-scenes stories, with Nico’s tree-chopping obsession making a surprisingly poignant appearance.

Main Themes & Key Discussion Points

1. Why Nico Ortiz Will Never Fly Again

• Nico’s Fear: Nico’s absolute refusal to fly is a running joke—and deeply real.

  • [04:38] Nico: “The planes? Not. Hell no. Hell no.”
  • Talks about the loss of control, frequent bad turbulence, and his preference for driving—even across states.
  • He’d rather relocate to Texas than board a plane: [17:51] Nico: “You moved to avoid a plane flight?” / “Yeah. Dedication, pretty much.”

• Helicopters vs. Planes: Oddly, Nico enjoys helicopters more than airplanes.

  • [05:28] Nico: “I love helicopters. I think it's so much better and funner.”
  • The group debates the risks, with more jokes about Nico’s “fall for two minutes knowing you'll die” fear.

• Parachute Solution?: Nico jokes about carrying a parachute as a carry-on for peace of mind.

  • [06:19] Nico: “If you're that worried, you can get your skydiving license…” / “I don't know how to repack a chute. I don't want to repack a chute.”
  • TSA complications, paranoia, and group banter about how suspicious it would look.

• On Flying Private & Airline Deregulation:

  • Jokes about flying private being statistically more dangerous, a brief eulogy for Spirit Airlines ([20:22]), and discussion of the retired Concorde supersonic jet ([21:13]).

---

2. Life Updates and Moving to Texas

• Nico’s Move: Story of how Nico moved to San Antonio without telling anyone, just to be near the gang—and off planes.

  • [18:29] Eli: “You had a flight here.”
  • [18:37] Brandon: “All of this just to avoid a return flight?”

• Adapting to the South: Nico embraces the local lifestyle: chopping trees, planning for more land, and plotting a backyard gun range.

  • [76:33] Nico: “I'll be lumberjacking in my backyard... got a few acres of like trees… just beat some shit.”

---

3. The Unsubscribe Brand: Male-Dominated Content & “Guy” Interests

• Supercars & Watches as Male Status Symbols:

  • Electric cars vs. supercars: Tesla Roadster discussed as FOMO for car guys ([25:23]-[25:47])
  • Discussion on how luxury goods like watches and fancy cars mostly impress other men.
    • [26:28] Brandon: “That's another thing where it's like watches… you're impressing other men—you’re gay.”
    • Bell curve of impressing men vs women, and how only guys ask about fancy cars ([26:55]).

• Their Audience is 95% Male:

  • Hilarious reveal of audience demographics.
    • [81:52] Eli: “Unsub is 95% male.”
    • [82:01] Nico: “Coming in swinging with 11%.”

---

4. Modern Money Woes: Buy Now, Pay Later for Burritos?! (Klarna)

• Insightful (and alarming) discussion of Klarna, DoorDash, and the proliferation of “buy now, pay later” even for food delivery.

  • [38:21] Nick: “So the buy now, pay later shit is like, it’s fine if you’re doing it for an oven…but Klarna signed an exclusive deal with Doordash. So now you can do pay in four, or pay off in 30 days for a zero interest free loan—on your Doordash order.”
  • 90+ loans = 90 lines of credit = bad for your credit score; possible subprime “burrito bubble” crisis.
    • [41:24] Nick: “When the subprime burrito bubble bursts, we can crash the economy just like we did in 2008—just for a way dumber reason.”

• General advice: If you’re taking out loans for food delivery, you probably need to skip DoorDash and eat at home.

---

5. Social Algorithms & Privacy Concerns

• Individual Price Discrimination: Stores can now change prices in real-time depending on your purchasing history, spending power, and online cookies ([52:01]–[53:37]).
• Social Media’s Effects: Instagram and Facebook algorithmically feeding content based on gender, self-esteem (ex: targeting girls who delete a lot of selfies with makeup ads).
  • [54:05] Nick: “They could tell when it was a female between ages 12 and 22…then they would bombard them with makeup and beauty ads.”

---

6. Content Creation, Investing, and New Ventures

• Nico’s evolving content: Moving from LA/Vegas to Texas has re-invigorated his drive to create—he’s vlogging, streaming, and investing in companies ([33:20]).
• Crypto investments and the emerging world of credit cards with Bitcoin cashback ([34:29]–[36:18]).
• Investing for equity control over pure revenue share, and a nuanced approach to risk.

---

7. Relationships, Fame, and the Female Fan Problem

• Most partners of male fans are confused or unimpressed when they recognize the podcast guys in public, except when a woman fan gets very excited—much to her spouse’s chagrin.

  • [83:39] Nico: “Husband was not a fan, but husband…well, she just met her hall pass.”

• The group shares awkward public encounter stories.

  • [84:23] Brandon: “Steal his trees.”

---

8. Rural Life, Land Ownership, and HOAs

• Nico and Trees: Nico’s war against trees becomes a metaphor for Texas manhood and independence; plans for a gym/compound constantly run up against HOA bureaucracy.
• HOA drama:
  • [102:11] Nico: “Right now, it’s like duking out with the HOA because…all the paperwork, has to be approved via HOA before you do [anything] or they can fine it. And I’m like, listen guys, I hope the paperwork goes by fast because I’ll be an absolute piece of shit.”

---

9. Podcasting & Politics

• Brandon’s Congressional Campaign: Recent campaign launch event recapped.
  • [87:20] Eli and group showed up to support, crowd energy highlighted.
  • The balance between authentic personality and public professionalism discussed.
    • [91:27] Brandon: “I know how to turn it off and on...I know when to be professional.”

---

10. Combat Sports & Manly Achievements

• Power Slap, MMA, and Pride FC:
  • Memories of old-school, brutal fighting tournaments; how rules have gotten more “safe” compared to the wild west of early MMA ([68:00]).
  • Hazards of headgear and the trade-off between safety and skill evolution.
    • [72:40] Nick: “Headgear is worse for you…added weight and torque when you get hit…”
• Getting Fit: Several table members have lost weight, improved mentally and physically through gym time and sparring ([121:08]).

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Nico on Turbulence:
  • “Think about it. You're in a metal tin can, tens of thousands of feet in the sky, zero control, and you don't know the pilots. At least in the military…they're your brothers in arms… [On a plane] I had to pay for this fucking seat. I don’t like it.” ([10:35])
• Finance Reality Check:
  • “If you need to take out a loan to buy $25 worth of Chick-fil-A, you don’t need to be DoorDashing.” — Brandon Herrera ([39:59])
  • “When the subprime burrito bubble bursts, we can crash the economy just like we did in 2008—just for a way dumber reason.” — Nick the Fat Electrician ([41:24])
• On Social Media Algorithms:
  • “Facebook got caught. They could tell when it was a female between the ages of 12 and 22…and then if they did that, they would bombard them with makeup and beauty ads.” — Nick the Fat Electrician ([54:05])
• On Manly Interests:
  • “Supercars, watches, anything else…you're impressing other men—you’re gay.” — Brandon Herrera ([26:28]).
• Career/Content Philosophy:
  • “I was like, okay, once I went to Vegas, I was like…I could kinda like care less what I do at this point…I get bored fast and easy…now that I’m out here, vlogging, live streaming…” — Nico ([33:20])
• Texas Independence:
  • “There’s no possible way. I just paid for my home. I have this land. I’m totally off of the road…there’s no way. I’ll fight that fight every time.” — Nico ([103:35])
• Authenticity:
  • “Do you want a guy who’s going to be like a scrappy boardroom guy who’s made a lot of money…or do you want a guy who’s squeaky clean because…he’s always wanted power…he kept a clean record…” — Brandon Herrera ([93:11])

Conclusion

This episode is a classic Unsubscribe blend of satirical banter, surprisingly deep dives (aviation anxiety, digital privacy, consumer finance), and warm, relatable stories about friendship, masculinity, and the everyday struggles of grown-up “dude” life—now involving fewer flights, more trees, and plenty of axes.

Whether you're a diehard fan or a casual listener, this episode delivers laughs, life advice, and a rare sense of community among outcasts, creators, and internet friends—now all just a 30-minute drive apart.

Transcript

[Brandon Herrera]

Imagine the over penetration on a Somali.

[Nico Ortiz]

Pirate piece of paper.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, it's plywood.

[Nico Ortiz]

I just don't want to fall out the sky for two minutes knowing I'm gonna die.

[Brandon Herrera]

State mandated homosexuality. No, no, no.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

King of the cobs, bro.

[Eli Double Tap]

Dawn me.

[Nico Ortiz]

God, I wish you guys weren't all retarded.

[Brandon Herrera]

Guys, I think we're done here today.

[Eli Double Tap]

Say hi to Eli. He's racially ambiguous.

[Nico Ortiz]

And Brandon.

[Eli Double Tap]

Is fabulous. Donut, a dog.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Joke disposition.

[Nico Ortiz]

And there's a fat electrician.

[Eli Double Tap]

Welcome to unsubscribe add break. We got some news after we collabed.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

With Echelon on the Army's 250th birthday. Killer Apple limited edition flavor with unsub. We decided that we really like the company.

[Eli Double Tap]

So we bought in, we killed Eric.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hostile takeover. We worked for months on all of these flavors, too.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah. So we're launching two new flavors. Each of them have 100 milligrams of caffeine a piece. And we're coming out with cherry lime landmine. And then Brandon has his famous mixer, Atomic cola, which goes great with Jack, I'm told.

[Brandon Herrera]

That is of course my drink of choice. And now I get to be hydrated and drunk and energized.

[Eli Double Tap]

Now, like everything, when we launch a company or start a new business, we try to do as much as possible for all of you. No exception.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

So when you buy a case of the new Echelon flavors, they are normally going to be $3 a can or $36 a case. But for the first 2,500 people that sign up for a subscription, getting two cases, are you going to get free shipping? Which shipping cases of energy drinks is expensive. You're also going to get a huge discount and those are going to cost $58.30.

[Eli Double Tap]

You are saving 30% overall. If you're the first 2500 to purchase.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

You get that discount forever. As long as you keep your subscription active, you are constantly going to get free shipping and a huge discount.

[Brandon Herrera]

If you're not one of the first 2500 people, we're going to keep the sale going for 48 hours. Those people are going to get it for $61.50 plus free shipping.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's 20 savings.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

And again, that's for the lifetime of your subscription. And if you don't like doing subscriptions or you don't like saving money for whatever reason, you can still do a one time order. They're still going to be $3 a can. You order a whole case. But if you use code unsub you're going to save 10%.

[Eli Double Tap]

What's that code, Cody?

[Nico Ortiz]

Unsub.

[Eli Double Tap]

The code is unsub first 2500 people are getting something amazing, but everyone purchasing this weekend is in our to win one of these.

[Brandon Herrera]

What is that, Eli?

[Eli Double Tap]

I don't know. It's gold, Nick. What is this?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

A ticket. It says golden ticket.

[Brandon Herrera]

This golden ticket grants you VIP access to one upcoming unsubscribe show. And this ticket happens to be 69.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Everybody that makes a purchase, no matter what it is, is going to get one entry. But if you do a subscription pack, you're also going to get an additional entry. So that counts as two. You're getting two entries. If you subscribe, we're going to fly.

[Eli Double Tap]

You out to come hang out and Unsub live show. They are debaucherous. Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm going to say the N word.

[Eli Double Tap]

I hope not everyone's going to get a swag pack. But if you are the luck, first 2500, you get a couple more cool things.

[Brandon Herrera]

Custom Echelon challenge coin, custom Echelon patches.

[Eli Double Tap]

And a pepper Box badge and a free month of Pepper box. If you are part of the first 48, you still get the free month of Pepper box, the pepper box emoji, the pepper box badge, and also the patch. Seriously, thank you for letting us have this possibility to do something like this. And thank you, Echelon, for giving us a chance to do something like this without all of you. None of this would be possible. We work for you at the end of the day and we are so fucking thankful for this opportunity.

[Brandon Herrera]

Let's go ahead and go back to the episode before Eli cries. Community.

[Eli Double Tap]

Community.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Community.

[Brandon Herrera]

We haven't been recording this whole time? No, we just did two hours.

[Eli Double Tap]

I know. I made a mistake. Just play it off like we haven't been recording the entire time. All right, ready? Three, two, one. Ooh. Oh, what's that? Wait, I can't say it. Who's gonna start it this time?

[Brandon Herrera]

Hi, everyone. Unsubscribe podcast here. I'm joined today by Eli Double Tap, Nick the fat electrician, myself, Brandon Herrera, and Nico Ortiz.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Hi. Our beautiful boys.

[Eli Double Tap]

What's up, bitches?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yo. What, Nick, you haven't been here like 100 episodes, fuckhead.

[Nico Ortiz]

I know I'd be living in different places, but I live here now, so.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Multiple shot shows in between unsub appearances is unacceptable.

[Nico Ortiz]

I showed up. I just wasn't on camera. I supported still.

[Brandon Herrera]

You did?

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's been a long time. It's been a while, Nico. Ain't a fan of the flying.

[Nico Ortiz]

The planes not. Hell no. Hell no.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Why do you think he drove his car here?

[Brandon Herrera]

Because I figured he needed his car now.

[Nico Ortiz]

That too. But yes, Yes. I was like, you know what? I'll just drive here. It's better. Left my other car here for like, God knows how long. But yeah, no flying. No thanks. I'm good.

[Eli Double Tap]

I always forget that. And then I remember, I'm like, oh, yeah. That's why he never visits is the death.

[Nico Ortiz]

I'm like, I'm. I'm good. I don't need to fly anywhere ever again anymore. I just stay at my house at this point. But now you guys are like a 30 minute drive away, so this is fantastic.

[Eli Double Tap]

And we made you fly. Anyways. We drove him to San Antonio airport.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I got an Uber picking you up. Helicopters fly crazy. Pretty much.

[Brandon Herrera]

The helicopters fuck with you.

[Nico Ortiz]

No. Isn't that weird?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

That is.

[Nico Ortiz]

I love helicopters. I think it's so much better and funner.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

And more dangerous.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. The thing that beats up air in order to stay floating, dude.

[Nico Ortiz]

Okay. You know what the main thing probably is, is I just don't want to fall out the sky for two minutes knowing I'm gonna die. Like, no, it's. Oh, shit. What the. Done. Like, that's nice.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're already giving the box a panic attack.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's like, yo, this guy's really.

[Nico Ortiz]

This is why he hasn't been here in a while.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

But yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'd be so annoyed. I'd be like, dude, we're gonna die. Please, my last two minutes.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I don't want to hear you screaming.

[Eli Double Tap]

At the top of your.

[Nico Ortiz]

I'll be like, then fix the plane, dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, I'm gonna make sure you are the first person on this plane to die.

[Nico Ortiz]

And people like, oh, well, if you're that worried, you can like, go and get like, your, like, you know, skydiving license. And I'm like, that's great. But if you go through TSA with that thing, one, I'm gonna look like a terrorist. Two, I can do that, but I don't know how to repack a shoot. I don't want to repack a shoot. And they can go through it.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Stop. DB Cooper give you advice? Who the is telling you all, if you're nervous, just pack a parachuters because.

[Nico Ortiz]

Then I won't be afraid to get on the plane.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Well, I understand where you're coming from. I'm saying, what psychopath gave you that advice? Like, that would.

[Nico Ortiz]

It was actually my idea. And then everyone agreed with me. Okay, did they agree with you before.

[Brandon Herrera]

Or after they found out that, like, even D.B. cooper probably didn't survive jumping out of a commercial airliner with a parachute?

[Nico Ortiz]

At least I have an option.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like, during this plane wrecking, you're going to be like, okay, we'll just unbuckle. We'll walk to the back. It's going to be smooth sailing, not violent, turbulent, smashed around. You're going to open that back door and be like, okay. And then you're going to hit the wing, die. Sucked into the engine.

[Nico Ortiz]

I jump out, hit the wing, my shoe just. And I'm like, oh, God damn it.

[Eli Double Tap]

Now you're just dragged down. You're caught on the way, just flat.

[Brandon Herrera]

The ironic part is that the plane would have been fine until his body hit the wing. They're like, oh, we regained stability.

[Nico Ortiz]

Oh, God. Oh, no. My plan is I was like, you know what? Maybe I'll buy, like, a nice little plane, and then I'll just have parachutes on it, and then I won't give a. That's a good idea.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's.

[Nico Ortiz]

No, they don't like my idea. Okay, I'm gonna go myself.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's a great idea.

[Eli Double Tap]

Great idea.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I will pay money to try to see you bring a parachute in as your carry on.

[Nico Ortiz]

Well, so I've thought about this.

[Brandon Herrera]

Is that a sad.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yes, it is.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah. You get a free cavity search with every one.

[Nico Ortiz]

Pretty much the problem is that you can do that, but the TSA can open the chute, they can inspect it and do all that. And I was like, well, if you hate me and you want to kill me and you, like, take little scissors and do whatever to me, like, I don't want to repack it in the airport either. I don't even know if I can.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

That would be hilarious.

[Eli Double Tap]

What did you do to the ts.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Attention to the man repacking his parachute in the middle of the terminal.

[Nico Ortiz]

Seriously, imagine.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, something worse. Imagine he's repacking the chute, and you realize he's in your. On your flight.

[Nico Ortiz]

That's how you get rid of the terrorists. Oh, he's got this one. I'll pick a different one.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'd just be terrified seeing you. You're on the phone, getting mad, trying to repack this, and as an outsider that doesn't know you, they're just like, he's all over the place. This guy's yelling and then quiet and smiling and then doing a weird laugh and then a happy laugh.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

What?

[Brandon Herrera]

It's the UNO reverse card. An Arab Guy sees a white dude on his flight and changes flight.

[Nico Ortiz]

No, no, no, no, no. But yeah, no, I'm. I'm good on the fly at all costs.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

What's up? He's on to us.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, he has it.

[Nico Ortiz]

Oh, God. Yeah. No, I don't. I don't enjoy flying. It's just not for me. I just. I. I tend to care less and less for flying every single time I fly. And like, the end result is just. I end up getting just like, disgustingly bad turbulence on every flight I end up do taking. And I'm like, everything I've been through in my entire life, I refuse to go due to a plane going down, of all things. If I was like, going to war on a plane and the shit went down, like, whatever. I'm doing something with purpose. But, like, I want to go on podcasts. It's gonna be so fun. I'm gonna get. No, it's gonna really piss me off.

[Brandon Herrera]

We're not gonna have cool deaths, like plane crashes. I already know, like, we. We do some pretty cool karma the way. Whatever. Like the balance of the universe. We're gonna go out doing something dumb and not cool.

[Eli Double Tap]

I.

[Brandon Herrera]

Slipping on an ice cube.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Car wreck. Sober. Sober car wreck.

[Nico Ortiz]

Sober car wreck.

[Brandon Herrera]

Makes it less cool in your.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Tell me it doesn't.

[Nico Ortiz]

Nico.

[Brandon Herrera]

What. What is your least favorite thing about flying?

[Eli Double Tap]

I just, like, other than just the crashing.

[Nico Ortiz]

Think about it. You're in a metal tin can, tens of thousands of feet in the sky, zero control, and you don't know the pilots. At least in the military, when you, like, do half of these things, you chit chat. They're your brothers in arms, and you, like, trust them. And I'm like, you know what it, dude, if this bitch goes down, like, we're doing it together. I don't know any of these people. I had to pay for this fucking seat. I don't like it.

[Brandon Herrera]

The DEI hires at Delta Airlines are not going to be the one the thing that takes me out.

[Nico Ortiz]

No, I just, I. It makes me uncomfortable. I just. I hate it. And then, like, I always end up getting nasty turbulence and I'm like, oh, fuck, like, every time. And I'm like, just staring out the window and I'm like, like, please, when.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

You say turbulence, do you mean like, nausea or, like, the place?

[Nico Ortiz]

I'm talking about my ass literally coming off of this seat slightly and going back down and basically, like, riding the plane at this point. So, yeah, not, like little, but it's devastating.

[Eli Double Tap]

Those big ones.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yes. Every single time I fly and it was like it with my head. Because every single time I get on plane, they're like, hey, guys, it's the pilot. Flight attendants, please take your seat. We are not gonna be doing. I paid for first class so I can get drunk and like kind of forget. We are not gonna be doing drink a bottle service because it's gonna get very bumpy. But once we get past this very bad spot, we will start the drink service. I'm like, totally defeats the purpose of the whole thing.

[Brandon Herrera]

Wrong order there, pal.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, wrong order, dude. But luckily now I just get shit faced before I get on the place. There you go. Still doesn't help that much.

[Eli Double Tap]

You.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm just thinking of you doing the Nico scream directly to my right. I'm like, nico, for fuck's sake. We haven't taken off yet because they're.

[Eli Double Tap]

Asking us to buckle up. Please chill.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

The.

[Nico Ortiz]

That's what I was saying. The next time you guys fly somewhere, I'll go and you guys can see what it's like flying with Nico.

[Brandon Herrera]

It'll be great.

[Eli Double Tap]

Just nerves.

[Nico Ortiz]

I'm gonna be extreme. Be so tense. I'm just gonna be mad the whole time.

[Eli Double Tap]

And then you see a Burger King hat coming out. Nico, no.

[Brandon Herrera]

I know the easy way off this flight.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, I'm going to be a problem.

[Eli Double Tap]

Take it off. Turn back around. He's already got a second one on.

[Nico Ortiz]

What's going on?

[Eli Double Tap]

Removing hats. We don't know where they're coming from.

[Nico Ortiz]

We're getting kicked off this fucking plane.

[Brandon Herrera]

I bought a 10 pack of burger King crowns for the Unsub live tour last time and I fucking forgot to bring them.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

What a fucking insult to Burger King. They would have gave it to you for free if you ordered food. You're like, I don't want your food. I'll just pay for them.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't. But it was before they started rolling it back out again. I just went on ebay and bought a 10 pack.

[Eli Double Tap]

Of course you did.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was like $15. Whatever.

[Nico Ortiz]

Loves them. 10 packs is so good.

[Eli Double Tap]

Just a dang.

[Brandon Herrera]

Listen, my goals are beyond your understanding. What's funny is the people that sell that on ebay have to know.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like Halloween.

[Nico Ortiz]

They probably make a fucking killing, man.

[Eli Double Tap]

Hall Hitler.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

69.

[Eli Double Tap]

69. Five star.

[Brandon Herrera]

The Halloween costume is just. It's the white shirt, the Burger King crown, and the teardrop tattoo.

[Nico Ortiz]

50,000 orders, five stars.

[Eli Double Tap]

What? They're all very positive.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Nico Ortiz]

Love my hat. Very durable. Take it on every flight with me. I love it.

[Eli Double Tap]

Instant reply. Shipped instantly. Very nice card on the inside.

[Nico Ortiz]

Feel the hate when you take it out of the box.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, God. And it's like just a one star review. Like, didn't get my order seller. Very rude. Noel Silverstein.

[Eli Double Tap]

I like.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Oh, yeah.

[Nico Ortiz]

Nick doesn't like talking about. I remember from the one last time. And I was like, oh, because they're black.

[Brandon Herrera]

What?

[Nico Ortiz]

That is probably one of my favorite.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

They spent 45 minutes trying to paint me as a racist who was miserable.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just wait till.

[Nico Ortiz]

Somebody spent $13 million. Hardest I've heard Eli laugh, I think, ever. And it just.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just makes me feel so somebody spent $13 million racist. So, you know, it works out.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I think we were like, we had already filmed one or two podcasts that day, got drunk during the podcast, went to the bar for two hours and then came back. And for some reason I was like, we're recording again.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, that was one. It's like we were doing another podcast. Like, we were drunk as over there. I think, like, okay, let's go.

[Brandon Herrera]

Podcast ever come out?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yes.

[Nico Ortiz]

Oh, it did.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

It's aggressive.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, man. I.

[Nico Ortiz]

It was just the three of us.

[Brandon Herrera]

I remember the one we filmed House the other, like a couple months back. That there's no way that podcast has seen the light.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Do we still have that footage?

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, yeah.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I just. I just want the snippet of the 40s are here. I want to make that my ringtone.

[Eli Double Tap]

We had to scrub through it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Was Rich there too?

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, God, yeah. Yeah, that was racks, actually.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

We doordashed 40s.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was me, you, Eli, Rich and Connor.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yep. That was the other one.

[Brandon Herrera]

God.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Spent 45 minutes trying to tell a story.

[Brandon Herrera]

So the wall, the stone wall up dead high.

[Eli Double Tap]

Fucking God dang it. God dang it.

[Brandon Herrera]

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.

[Eli Double Tap]

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

[Brandon Herrera]

Even bunkers run through Shopify.

[Eli Double Tap]

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 Double Tap]

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

[Brandon Herrera]

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

[Eli Double Tap]

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.

[Brandon Herrera]

No. We've all been doing this for over a decade and Shopify is the easiest e commerce platform we've ever used. I think every single one of us has used Shopify at one point.

[Eli Double Tap]

I think all our businesses right now are using Shopify.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, except mine. But that's because it's done. So can't do that.

Unsubpod shopify.com unsubpod Mr. Nico, what have you been up to, my friend? You just moved to Texas. I did quite the big move.

[Nico Ortiz]

Congratulations. Thanks. It's great to be here. It's so much better than like LA and Las Vegas, like by far. And just the people in general aren't complete pieces of shit. So, you know, that's really nice as well. Yeah, I think it's funny because me and Eli were talking one day and you guys are always also welcoming and stuff, like, oh, we love seeing you, man. You got to come out here. And I'm like, fuck that bitch. I ain't getting on a plane. And then Eli was like, yeah, dude, we miss you. You got to come out here. And I was like like, well, my lease is coming out.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

You moved to avoid a plane flight?

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, Dedication, pretty much. And then I was like, you know what? It'd be so funny if like I just buy a house out there and then not tell anybody until I move out there. When we and you were talking, I literally hadn't told anybody, but randomly me and you were talking previously and you were like. I was like, hey, what's new, dude? We're catching up, blah, blah, blah. And like three hours later, I just moved out here like a weekend. And then Eli's like, I'll come to dinner. And then he obviously told you. And you text me like, there I was there. You're like, you moved to San Antonio. I was like, oh yeah. Because I think it's funny for some reason. So yeah. Now I have a house out here.

[Eli Double Tap]

You had a flight here.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I just love how your brain works for like, I miss my boys. I don't like planes. We're moving.

[Brandon Herrera]

All of this.

[Eli Double Tap]

We're moving.

[Brandon Herrera]

Solution all of this just to avoid a return flight.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Nico Ortiz]

Absolutely not. There was no way. So now I have a house out here and it's just a nice, safe 30 minute drive in a car.

[Eli Double Tap]

His response when I was like, oh, we can invite Nico. He's like, oh, what, is he in town? Like, he moved here. What?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

What?

[Brandon Herrera]

So, like, short answer. Yes.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like, yeah. He literally just, I think at that point moved here like the day of.

[Nico Ortiz]

Or it was like, I was only like seven. Seven days in because I was like, I couldn't even come and hang out just because I was like, I'm still unpacking boxes and shit, so I'm not gonna be able to make it. But yeah. And then here we are, hanging out.

[Brandon Herrera]

The four best friends that anyone can have.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Just in time for us to move Range day to Las Vegas.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's actually very funny.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Literally.

[Nico Ortiz]

It wasn't until like last week, officially, I was like, okay, I guess I'll go to the range date. Because I literally told. I was like, I'm not going. I'm not getting on a plane. I just literally came here and I drove here, by the way. And so I'm like, you know what? I forget who convinced me, like two days ago. And I was like, you know what? Fuck it. Like, I'll go to range day, I guess.

[Brandon Herrera]

We'd love to have you.

[Nico Ortiz]

Thanks. Thanks, guys. So fun.

[Eli Double Tap]

You go, come on.

[Nico Ortiz]

They're like, let's just do it because we know Nico's gonna move out here, but let's get this little bitch boy on a plane and watch him freak out.

[Brandon Herrera]

We'll charter it private, which is statistically way more likely to crash, but it's more fun. That is true. I've never flown private.

[Eli Double Tap]

Nico wakes up in a Spirit Arrow.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Nico Ortiz]

I just drive out there and I'll meet you guys at.

[Brandon Herrera]

Spirit Airlines is going under, I think, right? They just announced. They're. They're closing up.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Oh, no.

[Brandon Herrera]

Are they?

[Nico Ortiz]

Are they? I thought Spirit Airlines is actually doing kind of good.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, Is it?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I don't think so.

[Eli Double Tap]

I don't think.

[Nico Ortiz]

I mean, no one ever thinks they're doing good, but like, I'm like, I don't know. My parents always fly Spirit. And I'm like, okay, we'll go help your parents later, dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

It was one of The.

[Eli Double Tap]

Those are the ones. I'm like, nah, of all the airplanes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah. Bankruptcy. Yeah.

[Nico Ortiz]

Okay. I was wrong.

[Brandon Herrera]

They said they. They canceled service at four California airports and canceled 11 routes. Okay, maybe they're not going under yet, but they're, like, about to go into bankruptcy.

[Eli Double Tap]

Restructuring process. So the restructuring.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Weird, neat.

[Eli Double Tap]

They get a lot. I mean, they have a lot of media attention all the time, which shows you.

[Brandon Herrera]

Very good.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, exactly.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I feel like you would know this. Why. Why did we. What was the plane that could travel, like, super fast? It was a commercial. The Concorde. Concord ran it for, like, a couple years and then they quit. Why'd they stop with that?

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't know. I don't know if it was like a faa, like a regulation thing where there was, like, they capped commercial flight speeds or something like that.

[Nico Ortiz]

I thought it was an efficiency thing because, like, you. It costs, like, a pretty penny. You could get from, like, west coast to east coast, and obviously all business people were paying it, but, like, the fuel efficiency. And this is when, like, all these planes started transitioning, I thought, to smaller aircraft. And they're like, it just makes more sense to have these people pay for more flights and do more, like, stops, so.

[Brandon Herrera]

The Concorde was retired in 2003 due to a combination of high operating costs, a sharp decline in passenger numbers after a fatal 2000 crash, and restrictions on supersonic flights over land. So, okay, so there was.

[Eli Double Tap]

There was a. Oh, yeah, dude, the supersonic's stupid.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I disagree.

[Eli Double Tap]

I, like, I want that. If it's that high. Are you gonna hear that? Really?

[Nico Ortiz]

You'll hear, like, no, no. Hear it.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

It's just like, why. Why not get there faster?

[Eli Double Tap]

I like it. No, like, I want that.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Oh, I thought you're saying you didn't like it. No, I don't.

[Nico Ortiz]

That.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Let's do it.

[Brandon Herrera]

This episode is brought to you by Progressive Insurance. Do you ever think about switching insurance companies to see if you could save some cash? Progressive makes it easy to see if you could save when you bundle your home in auto policies. Try [e-mail] Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and affiliates. Potential savings will vary. Not available in all states.

[Nico Ortiz]

Print the nose. Like, once you're in the air, it goes like. And, like, straightens out the whole head of the aircraft. And then before you land it, like, fucking. Oh, the nose, dude, that would fuck me up. Yeah, when it takes off, it's, like, downwards. And then when it's in the air, it's like.

[Eli Double Tap]

It consumed five to seven times more fuel than subsonic aircraft.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Care.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, trust me, I. Because the speed and how fast did it get from New York to la?

[Brandon Herrera]

That's what I was trying to figure out.

[Eli Double Tap]

Concord.

[Nico Ortiz]

Wait, New York to la?

[Eli Double Tap]

LA to New York, three hours. It was fast. Especially compared to. What is it, six hours for a.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Regular one traveling at Mach 2. 041354 miles an hour. Holy. Yeah. You're looking at sub three hour flight from coast to coast.

[Nico Ortiz]

That's pretty hot.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Be awesome, dude. Oh God.

[Nico Ortiz]

That was. No tweaking me out. Just thinking about. You're just flying super fast and just starts slowly.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

You'll hit the ground faster though. That was your whole this Nick.

[Nico Ortiz]

You're not hitting the ground faster. You're not.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's gonna blur.

[Nico Ortiz]

You'll be gonna fly off to my body before I hit the ground.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Hey, the flight's shorter.

[Nico Ortiz]

No.

[Brandon Herrera]

Okay, so. Oh God. The Concorde typically took five hours and this is just, you know, Google results, so who knows. 5 hours and 45 minutes to fly from Los Angeles to London.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Nico Ortiz]

That was sick. What do you think the flight's like though? Do you think it's like smooth or just like crazy?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I bet you don't feel shit.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's like the bullet train. Bullet train. You're just walking around. It is very chill. Just like. Oh. And then you look out the window. So you stop to get you.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

What's lhr?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Maybe they're gonna bring it back since they're. They're rolling back all the EPA with cars.

[Brandon Herrera]

Dude, that would be, that would be rad. LHR.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. To JFK is 3 hours compared to 7.57 and 6. Those flight times are wildly different.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Did you see the epa?

[Brandon Herrera]

Which ones?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

They're rolling back like a bunch of EPA and CAFE standards and all the. And Toyota came out and announced their new Supra is going to have a V8.

[Brandon Herrera]

Nice.

[Nico Ortiz]

Oh, I did see that. I thought it was like something. Is it a V8 or like a V12? They were talking about like something.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

They said it was gonna be a 5 liter V8 in the supra. I mean the Supra's tiny.

[Nico Ortiz]

That should gonna be.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I'm excited. Stupid V8s are back on the menu.

[Eli Double Tap]

A lot of supercars are gonna.

[Nico Ortiz]

It's supercars in general. Like I, I. The hype is dying. Thank God. Like all these supercars. Like you're. The Tesla's gonna every supercar in the ass.

[Brandon Herrera]

Especially the new roadsters.

[Eli Double Tap]

Fast.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah. Like the supercars are what they're just expensive, but they're not as fast. I think it's.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's a lot of its aesthetic though, that, like. Yeah, because even the new roadster, like, like, I love all of the stats of the roadster and I'll, I, I might buy one depending on when they come out and how much they actually go for, but I just. It doesn't look like it. It's like hypercar stats, but it looks.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like a Model S. That's always the hard part. It's. You want that refined. I want a Lamborghini because of a Lamborghini. I want a McLaren F1 of a McLaren F1. Plus the engine sound. I hate. I love how fast electric cars are. I hate despise them racing anything. It's just.

[Nico Ortiz]

You just get over it, Eli.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Just say it. It's a perception of women. It's the whole issue with it. It's like trying to explain to a woman that the power lifter with the beer guts actually stronger than Arnold Schwarzenegger. They're never going to believe you, and that's all that matters. Doesn't matter what's on the stat sheet. Just what impresses you. Okay, we're going to go with that. I'll spend four times the money.

[Brandon Herrera]

I feel like supercars are like. That's another thing where it's like watches and anything else which shouts out to watch guy, you're impressing other men you're gay.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, sorry.

[Brandon Herrera]

Something like that.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's the reason I got my watch. So dudes would ask me questions saying.

[Nico Ortiz]

Why I got my super surrounded by Men.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, 100%. Like, and it's true. Guys will walk up to you before women will if you have a nice car. Girls aren't like, oh, my God, it's dudes.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Like, no, there's. There's a, there's like a bell curve where it's like impressing everybody. Impressing everybody. Impressing everybody. Women stop being impressed. Only dudes keep being impressed.

[Nico Ortiz]

Like, yeah, with watches.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

It's like women are impressed up until Rolex. Try to explain to them what an A and P is or any, like.

[Nico Ortiz]

Anything not going anywhere.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

They don't give a shit. It's not a Rolex.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's like the only brands they know.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Unless you're, like, into it. Into it, Right?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

It's like Lamborghini, Ferrari. What the is a McLaren?

[Nico Ortiz]

Like, the knowledge is cash.

[Brandon Herrera]

I just watched you, like, take Poison damage on that one.

[Eli Double Tap]

I know.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

It's like, tell me I'm wrong.

[Nico Ortiz]

I just watched like, a tear went down and he sucked it Back up.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm watching like Eli's heads up display like Red Dead negative honor.

[Nico Ortiz]

He's like, what the fuck did you just say?

[Eli Double Tap]

Sav, you're laughing a little too hard.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Sav, did you know what a McLaren was before he got one?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yes, only because my dad though. So it's still guy based.

[Eli Double Tap]

Hey, they made a new one too. Only five. I told Brandon today. Yeah, I was like, hey, if one of those five got offered to unsub to buy as a whole and it's three to five million dollars, we were spending three to five million dollars.

[Nico Ortiz]

The new one, what is it, the W1 or whatever the.

[Eli Double Tap]

So Gordon Murray makes his own. He made the F1, then stepped away and then very rarely designs cars. He just redesigned the F1LM as the S1. And it is. There's only five being made and there may be three to five million. He hasn't set a price. And that car is going to be worth in a decade, like 40, 50 million dollars. Instant. Like mark my words, in two decades that will be a 50 million dollar car.

[Brandon Herrera]

All day long on some historians. You better get your pens out.

[Nico Ortiz]

But what about the speed tail? That lost all of its value.

[Eli Double Tap]

He didn't work on that.

[Nico Ortiz]

Okay. We're talking about the designer here retaining the value of the car.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, that's why out of those 101, there's like 82 F1s left there. The last one sold for like $32 million. And that was $800,000 when it came out. And they're just getting. They just keep going up.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, go buy a supercar, guys.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, you know, that was, that was kind of like part of growing up for me. It's like since I was a kid, I always wanted to. A Lamborghini Aventador. That was like my car. I'm like, when I make it, I'm gonna buy a Lamborghini Aventador. And it's like weirdly like it's the growing up thing where you, you realize like, okay, now that I can afford one, I would rather spend that. It's like a few hundred thousand. What, three, four, five hundred thousand dollars?

[Eli Double Tap]

Three hundred bat like you're.

[Nico Ortiz]

That shit's always changing. The car market's a little fucked right now.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, that's the hard part right now. Super. But 500 grand? 3 to 500 easy.

[Brandon Herrera]

I would rather have that and like either invest in more businesses or buy some land or hire more employees or buy a CNC machine or like, there's so many things that, that Money could do that. Would matter more in my life than a car that I'll drive once a week.

[Eli Double Tap]

Cut to Brandon driving a CNC down the road.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, it's like I can have all of it. Realistically, guys, I was just pitching out some good advice.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm not YouTube. Money ain't that good. It's decent, but it's not that good.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's hard. Like supercars watch. Even watches. Looking at the prices, it's like, ah, but they're really cool. And then it is an heirloom you get to pass down to your kiddo.

[Brandon Herrera]

Especially if there's like precious metals and stuff like that. Like, it makes a little more sense than just. I didn't even have a nice watch either until like a year and a half ago.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, I was.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was rocking a $90 invicta. Like tells time same.

[Eli Double Tap]

And then you start learning it and then really? He went as autistic as me. It's rare when I'm like, ah, he's just as invested into stimulating.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

We don't talk about things my wife don't know about.

[Brandon Herrera]

Dude, you put on a swimming dove down that.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was like, oh, he's sending me pictures.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Got to find the best one. Okay, I found the best one. Sell the rest.

[Nico Ortiz]

Apple watch. Get fucked.

[Brandon Herrera]

Speaking of which, what do you wear now?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

This is the one. This is the same one. The Grand Seiko.

[Eli Double Tap]

It is spot on timer.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, oh, that's right. Yeah, you were telling me about that one.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Thing is, it's been two months, I've had it and it's not a second off yet, which is impressive for a mechanical watch.

[Brandon Herrera]

Same with my phone. Wild.

[Nico Ortiz]

This is true.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

This is true.

[Nico Ortiz]

He's like, shut the fuck up.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's like, come on now. Come on. Brandon, do you need.

[Brandon Herrera]

Not one more time. You got this, buddy.

[Eli Double Tap]

Brandon, can you. Brandon, do you.

[Brandon Herrera]

Almost there, bud.

[Eli Double Tap]

Brandon, where do you store your firearms?

[Brandon Herrera]

All over my house. In every crevice.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, do I have the product for you. Nick, show him.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Here, hand it to me, Brandon, so I can show you. Brandon, this is stop box.

[Eli Double Tap]

Stop box.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

We love box.

[Eli Double Tap]

You're selling me what's in the box?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

You have to open it and find out.

[Brandon Herrera]

All right, well, let's see if I can do this. Oh, wow, look at that. Oh, can I hide my goop in that?

[Eli Double Tap]

You can hide your goop in that. Cody. Cody, do you know why I love this thing? Why?

[Brandon Herrera]

Why?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Why?

[Nico Ortiz]

God, why? Because you don't have to to use keys.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Gun not included.

[Brandon Herrera]

Cody, you've Got multiple cats in your house, including Squirt, who's quite the scrapper. Would you want Squirt to have access to your firearms? No, he's violent. Well, then Stop Box is the perfect product for you.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

No cats getting inside that or people without thumbs. The nice part is it is actually TSA compliant.

[Brandon Herrera]

I didn't actually know that part until a couple months ago. That is actually really cool. You just put a little lock through there.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Exactly.

[Brandon Herrera]

When you check in a pistol or any gun, if there's a hole that a lot can go through on whatever you're checking your gun in, you have to put a lock through that. This has one hole, so you just need one lock. Easily accessible once you land on the ground. I know you're not normally a one hole kind of guy, but this is definitely an exception to the rule. Never worry about tariffs because everything is sourced right here in the usa.

[Eli Double Tap]

Wait, what are tariffs like?

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm pretty sure I shot a few of them.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

For a limited time only.

[Eli Double Tap]

Get 10 off your entire order if you use code unsubscribe checkout.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

And right now, if you buy one Stop Box, you're gonna get another stopbox free. So that's 10 off plus buy one, get one free when you use code unsub at checkout.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's stopboxusa.com discover a better way to.

[Brandon Herrera]

Balance security and readiness with StopBox.

[Eli Double Tap]

Stopboxusa.com use code unsubscribe. Nico, what are you working on next now that you're surrounded by all the creators again? Well, you can do anything.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, but I mean, like I said, like maybe like a year or two ago, I was like, okay, once I went to Vegas, I was like, I think I'm just kind of like not done making content. But I could kind of like care less what I do at this point because I'm living pretty good. There's nothing else I really need to do or care to really achieve in my life. But I get bored fast and easy. And then now, then it got deeper into me investing and doing all these things and then now trying to get into acquisitions, purchasing other companies and stuff like that. And then it's just, hey, I'm liquid enough. Do you need money? And I'll take like 10% equity in that just so I have the ability to like, also participate in decisions of companies because I love scaling companies and I'd rather take a lower cut on equity than actually taking like high just on revenue share. So, yeah, just investing in stuff like that. But then now that I'm out here vlogging, live streaming, and just kind of doing all that stuff again.

[Brandon Herrera]

Any companies you're working with you want to like.

[Nico Ortiz]

No, I am very quiet about.

[Brandon Herrera]

It. Might be a good shouted opportunity, but.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I feel like Nico's super into crypto or something.

[Nico Ortiz]

I do have a pretty vast crypto portfolio. Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

God, every woman in the room is now drier than the Sahara.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, yeah, pretty much. That's how it works. And I'm like, I'm not even going to explain shit.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's just the crypto, bro.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Have you seen that? It's just a screenshot of a message thread where it's a girlfriend breaking up with her boyfriend, and she's like, john, we need to see other people. All your friends are advancing their careers and achieving things and blah, blah, blah. And all you do is blow all your money on this stupid bitcoin shit.

[Nico Ortiz]

And then it was, how much my hundred and seventeen bitcoin is actually worth?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

It showed the date, and then it was like seven years later. And it's just, hey, John, how have you been?

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, yeah, it's just like, okay. And a lot of people don't understand it in general, so I'm like, okay, that's fine. But I've been in crypto for a while. I actually just applied like, two days ago because Gemini is working with MasterCard and they just came up with utilizing Bitcoin and XRP, 4% back for purchases. And that's in, like, a crypto portfolio. And so basically, I'm like, I'm kind of over the AMEX lifestyle. I have had my platinum cards, I've had my gold cards, I've had my blue, my green cash cards. I've all these things to utilize different ways of investing my money and getting cash back and then, you know, spending all that around. But AMEX is just, like, losing so much of its value, people don't want to work with them anymore. So now I think a big pull that I'm going to start doing is utilizing my new Gemini card just to get 4% cash back, because it's 4% on quite literally everything that you're purchasing with. So I'm like, okay. And then with the new passes and policies of, like, the crypto, like, cash reserve and stuff like that, I'm like, okay, this isn't going anywhere. Sorry.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, quick little spiel.

[Nico Ortiz]

Quick little spiel. So I'm super excited to get that right now.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Didn't. Didn't they announce that, like, the US Government's gonna have a reserve of I think Bitcoin, Solana and Eth.

[Eli Double Tap]

Not surprised Salon. I've never heard of that one.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, Soul Eth, Bitcoin, xrp. Man.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, Doge.

[Nico Ortiz]

God damn it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Something tells me that there might have been a rift there.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, no, but the. I'm really, you know, it sucks to say now because everyone's really banking on xrp, but I've been investing in XRP since I was like at sub 50 cents. And I'm a XRP. I'm a big whale on that. But now that everybody's talking about it makes me nervous and I'm like, oh, shit. Like, is this going to like, tank you starting to see. When you start seeing like celebrities and stuff, talk about crypto, it's kind of like a big red flag in that world. But when the White House is talking about it too, and then that entire cash reserve stuff comes out, it's like, okay, maybe this can work. But I'm like, okay, and if it fails it, who cares? That's what investing is. Set it on fire and hopefully it turns into a phoenix. If not, have fun with the ashes.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Dude, I. I love trying to explain bitcoin to old people. It's one of my passions in life.

[Nico Ortiz]

You're trying to give them a heart attack.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I know. I just sit there and watch their brain short circuit. Like, yeah, but it's just numbers on a screen. I go, yes. And the cash in your pocket is just green paper.

[Eli Double Tap]

It literally. Exactly.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah, but it's money. I go, what the is that?

[Brandon Herrera]

Are you telling me that older people have a hard time understanding concepts like that?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Do you know the average age of the person who regulates Bitcoin?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

70.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, that's. That seems like a problem. The people that are legislating crypto are beyond the age where they are capable of understanding it.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

My video on Klarna comes out. That's horrifying.

[Eli Double Tap]

Wait, what?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Video on Buy now, pay later Klarna.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, that's.

[Nico Ortiz]

That's the go ahead.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, that's the pizza thing you were talking about.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

And that's you. So you did a deep dive on.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yes. Right. So the buy now, pay later shit is like, it's fine if you're doing it for like an oven or whatever, but Klarna signed an exclusive deal with doordash. So now you can do pay in, pay in four or pay off in 30 days for a zero interest free loan on your doordash.

[Brandon Herrera]

Order.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Order.

[Nico Ortiz]

Do not do that.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Here's the crazy part. Klarna makes its Money by processing fees and interest. Credit cards make their money by processing fees and interest, but they're not regulated as credit cards or lines of credit because it's not revolving credit. So when they write you up for any amount of money they give you, that is an individual small loan every time. So if you buy 90 things on DoorDash in a year using Klarna, you've opened up 90 lines of credit.

[Nico Ortiz]

That's insane.

[Eli Double Tap]

Not good.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Look, this month they, they just started reporting all of. So previously they weren't reporting it to your credit score rating bureaus. The only time it would affect your credit was if you didn't pay them back. They would sell the debt off to a collector, the collector would report it and it would negatively impact your credit credit. Well, people are getting pissed because it can't improve your credit. Okay, so now we have to start. Now we have to start reporting it every time. Okay, so now they're reporting every time you buy a burrito and if you pay it off, it can improve your credit. But also when you go to buy a house or a car or anybody runs your credit and, oh, you've opened up 300 lines of credit this year. That's insane for 17 a piece. Yeah, that's not looking good.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just a little bit of sage wisdom. If you need to take out a loan to buy $25 worth of chick Fil A, you don't need to be door dashing.

[Nico Ortiz]

Starve, starve instead.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

This is the funny part. I was talking shit about it because I love to tweet about shit before I make the video to find out the shitty talking points for the keyboard warrior bit. Somebody got on there and commented, oh, Rich YouTuber doesn't understand the struggles of the rest of the 99% of us. DoorDash is a necessity for some people.

[Nico Ortiz]

Okay, no, we're fine, we're fine. Go ahead. Yeah.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

How.

[Eli Double Tap]

How is it a necessity?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

He argued, because some people are disabled, so they can't go get their own food.

[Eli Double Tap]

Nick, it seems that the government have something in place for that, right?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Meals on wheels. Most grocery stores have free delivery services.

[Brandon Herrera]

H E B does.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Crazy.

[Nico Ortiz]

Wow. So crazy.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I don't know. I don't know how disabled people got their food before doordash.

[Eli Double Tap]

They didn't know they starved.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's why doordashes are shame.

[Nico Ortiz]

Well, and then, and then that company, though, didn't something come out about with the whole loan process that people actually were like, they hit like a huge dip in revenue because people quite literally weren't paying back Q1.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Q1 for 20, 25. Klarna is $99 million in the red because you're never going to believe this. The people that financed Burritos aren't paying off the loans. Shocking.

[Nico Ortiz]

Oh, my goodness.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Klarna is going to IPO. They're trying to get $15 billion. So all we need to do now is for Klarna to sell off the debt and bundle it as an investment to get more investment money into it. And then when the subprime burrito bubble bursts, we can crash the economy just like we did in 2008. It's going to be perfect.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Nico Ortiz]

Do you think they could win though?

[Brandon Herrera]

Except for a way dumber reason?

[Eli Double Tap]

Dude, the worst fucking reason.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Burritos. I was like, at least when the housing market market crash, the bank could foreclose on the house and have something to sell and get some of their money out of. Now you're out here trying to repo a turd.

[Brandon Herrera]

Give me the.

[Eli Double Tap]

Turn back.

[Nico Ortiz]

The bank shows up, spread your asshole.

[Eli Double Tap]

It looks bad on your credit. Also, if you keep applying for lines of credit you're supposed to do, I think it's like, don't quote five, seven, max a year.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like you want to restrict how much.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

For my video from my video. There's a bunch of like bank people, like mortgage lenders and shit that we're getting on TikTok being like, please don't use Klarna if you're in the process of buying a house because you can't open new lines of credit. And this is a line of credit and it can literally deadline your entire mortgage process trying to get your first home.

[Eli Double Tap]

Three to six months, like minimum.

[Brandon Herrera]

I used to do real estate and we would that we would come into that quite a bit where you would have somebody who celebrates like, oh, I just bought my first house. This is awesome. I went out and bought a boat. It's right outside. And you just like the closing attorneys, everybody just stopped. They're like, you. You did what? Yeah, it's right outside. Did you pay cash for it?

[Nico Ortiz]

Oh, no, no.

[Brandon Herrera]

They gave me a great rate. All right, guys, I think we're done here today. Fuck it.

[Eli Double Tap]

Credit is the one thing. It can be terrifying because you can fuck that shit real fast. But it takes a little bit of time to rebuild.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

The other way these places you is because every the way they have to write it to avoid credit card regulations is because every fucking burrito, every pizza, every grocery order that you do use, buy now, pay later on is its Own individual loan. In order to keep up with that, to like, make it appear to skirt that credit card regulation, they have to charge all of those individually. So if you have 90 buy now, pay laters, it's not. You're getting one statement at the end of the month, you owe Klarna 800. It's no, we're gonna charge your account. You bought a burrito on Tuesday, we're charging you the next six Tuesdays in a row. Then you bought a pizza on Wednesday, we're charging you the next six Wednesdays in a row. So you're getting 50 different payments taken out.

[Brandon Herrera]

Your bank account's taking poison damage.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, yeah, pretty much. Dude, how again, I just don't see who the actually thinks that's a good idea.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, a lot of people I know the other side too.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

It's the.

[Eli Double Tap]

This is the lack of sustainable business model.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

The stat I found was doordash obviously won't release the information. Neither will Klarna. But it was like consumer or something. Rather did a study and 38%, I think 38 or 33% of people that frequently use doordash were likely or very likely to use buy now, pay later services.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

A third.

[Nico Ortiz]

I don't understand what's causing that though, because I've like heard of that statistic, but I'm like, what position did you put yourself in? One, to where you're there and need that, and two, to where you continue to pull out these loans just for this food, bro, go eat peanut butter jelly sandwiches, man.

[Eli Double Tap]

You're thinking too deep.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

It's. You're too deep. So like when they did a bunch of like, marketing studies in the 80s and 90s on this, and whenever you spend it's like over $80, it activates the same part of your brain that recognizes pain. So like, the lower your total amount is when you hit buy, doesn't matter what the circumstances are, the better you feel about it. So like dumb people, financially illiterate people. Like, it's not that they don't have the 17 in their account. It's that it just feels better to only spend $4 at checkout.

[Brandon Herrera]

You're still spending the same amount, if not more.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

And then.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Correct.

[Nico Ortiz]

So what's the interest?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Like it's like 36 or something.

[Nico Ortiz]

What are you.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

It might be 26. It's like the upper credit cards.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, it's still like you're looking at, I guarantee minimum 20%. And everyone's going into it, thinking really quick. It is. You're thinking Okay, I have this much information on this. This is why I want to do that. A lot of people don't even have that. It's, oh, I can get a loan now. Oh, that helps my credit. That's what I've heard. That's as deep as that goes. So then, look, I can buy that and I can buy a whole bunch of. And I'll just pay it off when I pay it off because I'm helping my credit or I don't care, I'll just never pay it back. What's the worst? They're gonna, they're gonna ruin my credit. I don't give a shit. So there's your two different negative sides of that coin.

[Nico Ortiz]

You shouldn't be worried about ruining your credit unless you're like stupid. Then your credit doesn't matter.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

But if enough people start using this, it's gonna fuck everybody though. Because a credit card charges between 1 and 3% for a processing fee. That's what they charge the retailer. Buy now, pay laters charge like 6%. So they charge double of what a credit card charges. And the only reason retailers agree to it is because there's like hard data that shows people are like, it's like 30% more likely to actually do the purchase because the price is lower at checkout. So they feel like they can make the payment so they're more likely to purchase and they're like, it's like 17% more likely to spend more money. So the to the retailers, they're getting more sales at a higher dollar volume. So they're all about it. So they're willing to pay the difference. But if enough people start using it and the retailers are like, well, half these people are having us pay 6% transaction fee. We're just going to raise the price. Then they just raise the prices on everything to accommodate their loss on that end. And then everybody, they're winning. But it just helps with inflation.

[Nico Ortiz]

Don't get got. Don't get got. Oh Lord.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's a wide.

[Nico Ortiz]

It makes me sad. I'm like, God, I wish you guys weren't all retarded.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

But, but the reason, the reason I went down this rabbit hole was because you brought up the people regulating bitcoin. It's the same problem with this is it's like, oh, you know who's probably not using doordash a whole lot to like see that this is an issue. 70 year olds in Congress that would obviously, if they looked at it and thought about it for half a second would be like, wait a Minute. That's a credit card. What the fuck is this?

[Brandon Herrera]

All they see is a charge that shows up that they make their staffers go do for them.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yep.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh. Oh. That means I got food.

[Eli Double Tap]

I hate everything. Hey, Brandon, do you have Cash App? Brandon, I asked you a question.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, Eli. What's that?

[Eli Double Tap]

Do you have Cash app? Brandon, how did you do that? Brandon, anything's possible when you use Cash app, okay? Moving money should be easy, Brandon. That's why there's Cash app.

[Brandon Herrera]

Wow, this is really easy to use. I have it now. Don't hit me again.

[Eli Double Tap]

Cash app is fast, safe, and way more personalized than the other apps out there.

[Brandon Herrera]

No extra hoops to jump through, no extra stress. All the tools are right there to help you cash in.

[Eli Double Tap]

Plus, sending money through Cash app actually feels safe and secure.

[Brandon Herrera]

If something seems sketchier, there's like red flags that you might be sending sending your money to a scammer. They let you know. They'll give you a warning and make you think twice before hitting send. It's like having a bodyguard for your cash. Send your bunny some money with the eggplant emoji.

[Eli Double Tap]

My favorite.

[Brandon Herrera]

Make his friends think twice.

[Eli Double Tap]

Brandon, what are these three drops of water and an eggplant mean?

[Brandon Herrera]

It's a tip for good service.

[Eli Double Tap]

I like tips. Just a tip.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just. Just the tip.

[Eli Double Tap]

And for whatever reason, if you don't have Cash app, just head over to your phone app store and download it today and use code UNSUB10.

[Brandon Herrera]

And if you send $5 to a friend, you get $10 deposited in your account.

[Eli Double Tap]

Just for getting started, send Brandon $5. His number is. Three new Cash App users can use our exclusive code to earn some additional cash. Legit. For reals? No catch.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just download Cash app and use our code unsub10. Send $5 to a friend within 14 days and you'll get 10 bucks dropped right into your account.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

That's money.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's cash app. What's no different than with a TikTok trend where pull out that money. Who was it? Chase or whoever had that? You could pull out five grand and.

[Nico Ortiz]

It was called banking fraud, which, yeah, it was illegal.

[Eli Double Tap]

People were surprised when they got hit. Now says I owe them five grand.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Dog.

[Eli Double Tap]

You used your credit card or debit card to pull out $5,000 linked to all your information.

[Nico Ortiz]

It was more than that. They were going up to, I think it was like 30k to 50k that they could like withdraw. And then they just started seeing it fucking like that debt owed and they started actually aggressively Pursuing everybody. And I was like, well, good for them because you, you're doing like illegal.

[Brandon Herrera]

Shit and you're literally theft.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yes.

[Eli Double Tap]

And then it was an entire trend, which is the weird part, the thought.

[Brandon Herrera]

Process of somebody that's just like, oh yeah. I mean, this is their mistake. Obviously this will be fine for me.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

If enough people break the law. Nobody's breaking the law. Get all of us in trouble.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah. The only opportunity I saw from that was I was like, bro, if you were gonna take all that money and like invest it very briefly and then like withdraw, where there's like a way of like avoiding the capital gains tax, sure, you win. But nobody did that. Let's get real.

[Brandon Herrera]

They went to go buy new shoes and a new tv.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, dude. Oh God. Bad. So bad.

[Eli Double Tap]

I didn't realize they started doing the stores. They won't admit to it yet, but individual price changes when you get to the front at checkout.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah, Dollar General got in a shit ton of trouble for that.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, I didn't even know that was a thing. And now they'll do the digital display and by the time you walk up because of RFI tags and scanners, it can change the price to there. So they can change it based off of the individual coming to the fuck.

[Nico Ortiz]

What do you mean the individual?

[Eli Double Tap]

Let's say I walk up with a gtx, the brand new graphics card. Like the top of the line was the new ones like five 90s. I have a 590. Brandon has a 590 or you have a 590. Whoever has the most money, they will actually lower the cost in order to win that individual's business for long term versus the individual that might be struggling. It's a one time purchase. We can charge a bit more for this person.

[Brandon Herrera]

Interesting. You'd think it would be backwards. It would be the other way.

[Eli Double Tap]

They want customer lifetime. They want customer lifetime value because that's. Hey, how much will this individual spend over his lifetime if this Dude's lower? Like $30 versus Steve is $500. Just charge other guy just a bit more this time. No. And most of the time no one's going to know it's happening. But Dollar General just got hit.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah, they. I don't know if, I don't know if the government stepped in and did anything but like they were talking about getting them in trouble because there was a ton of like, even with just like groceries and stuff, it was like it says 299 on the shelf, but it rings up as 4.99. So all these people were coming forward being like, they charged me 50 more dollars than what their shelf price said it was because it rings up different and like the average person doesn't check. You know what I mean? Like, I've never rang something up like, that's not the right price. I know some people all your groceries. Yeah, yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

And that's why they're doing digital prices now, like Best Buy and stuff. Because your price is a fixed paper price versus that's why when you go to Best Buy, it's a digital LCD screen now. Or they use those barcodes. So when you go up, it was this much stocks. By the time you're running up front.

[Nico Ortiz]

You'Re like, what is it, dude?

[Brandon Herrera]

Think about this. What if they, like you know, the cookies that you accepted on that website track your other behavior and they can automatically adjust the prices that are shown on their website if you're scrolling on your phone.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's the other thing of how those companies will work is they buy that information that has already been tracked to you. It's why when you go to plane tickets, it's always set up a VPN and then go into private and then Google cheap flights because that will make a significant difference how much you get charged versus if you're just using your regular account on Google and you're searching cheap flights, it's going to, oh, this guy will pay this no matter what.

[Brandon Herrera]

This is feeling kind of like a cyberpunk ass conversation.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, pretty much.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

We talking numbers and shit Facebook got busted for. Because once you get Facebook access to your phone, like they have access to the camera and everything. Facebook got caught. They could tell when it was a female between the ages of like 12 and 22. And then they could tell every time she took a selfie multiple times and deleted it. And then if they did that, they would bombard them with makeup and beauty ads.

[Eli Double Tap]

Wait, what?

[Nico Ortiz]

I don't like this.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah, they're like, oh, she deletes 17 selfies. Obviously she's self conscious about her looks. Let's bombard her with makeup ads.

[Nico Ortiz]

It's like, oh, you were gonna sit there looking at my photos. I was like, I'm gonna take pictures of my later.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, they're probably doing that too.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

It's a whole bunch of toilet paper preparation.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, well, no, there was that one famous case where it was something about this guy getting mad at. I don't know if it was Amazon or whatever the it was. I read this story a long time ago, but it was the guy was getting mad because they were showing a bunch of to his underage daughter, like showing a bunch of ads for like prenatal vitamins and things like that. It's like, are you really trying to encourage team pregnancy? And turns out Amazon knew before he did that she was pregnant. Just based on algorithmic shit, just behavior.

[Eli Double Tap]

It will start serving you. I started the always surf the Internet off of my other account and then finally when I did the say hi channel, I started using that as the means I search the Internet or browse YouTube. It is now serving me the exact same shorts I had seen months ago on my old account. It's like, oh, this dude probably would like this content right here. And I'd be like, oh my God. It's just now knowing exactly what I used to watch to a T and now serving it directly of what I know I would watch from the past. I was like, oh, okay. I found my algorithm. My exact algorithm is back.

[Brandon Herrera]

We can see it on our channels, like on the back end. It's like your users also watch and like based on and whatever and see how much crossover we all have.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

We were at shot show and Micah was showing me. Micah just wants his Instagram feed like on the search function to be guns, cars and like whatever the fuck else he's into. He's like, I'm sick of seeing girls try to promote their only fans or whatever he will go through and I don't want to see this content on everyone. And I guess I don't even know it's in the settings somewhere, but you can see all the posts you've ever done that to. He shows me he's just scrolling thousands of times that he's done it and they just will not stop trying to feed him tits and ass because they know he's a 30 year old dude. Like, yeah, I know you like this.

[Eli Double Tap]

I know it.

[Nico Ortiz]

You like it. I would say that is exactly mine is to where I'm like, I need to get off Instagram because I look like a weirdo and I'm not checking out none of this shit. And even if you click like not interested, not interested, it just keeps going to God. It gives you more what if, what.

[Brandon Herrera]

If your entire search algorithm, whatever for the for you page or whatever on Instagram was just entirely like firefighter thirst traps and just gay shit. You're like, no, no, no.

[Eli Double Tap]

Brick by brick, brother.

[Brandon Herrera]

State mandated homosexuality.

[Eli Double Tap]

I like dick by dick.

[Nico Ortiz]

Dick.

[Eli Double Tap]

I built this algorithm dick by dick, inch by inch. My new goal for my miles and miles of dick.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

That video of the dude shirtless in jeans, pissed off, punching the heads off of sunflowers when I see boobs and ass on my ra.

[Nico Ortiz]

A map on my racism app. Where.

[Brandon Herrera]

Where is all the Indians being hit by trains?

[Nico Ortiz]

Get by trains.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, I love our algorithms. God bless.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Oh, my God. That's a video for you.

[Brandon Herrera]

What's that?

[Eli Double Tap]

Indians by trains.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

We have your audience send in Darwin awards videos, but you have to play Geoguesser.

[Brandon Herrera]

I did that on that.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

That's what I'm saying. But if you made a whole video.

[Brandon Herrera]

Of doing video guessing, I can just tell by now. I'm like, okay. Russia, Pakistan, Alabama, for sure.

[Nico Ortiz]

The same five places every fucking time.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's usually one of those. The frequency that Pakistan comes up is kind of remarkable.

[Eli Double Tap]

Is it? Well.

[Brandon Herrera]

They'Re like Indians, but with guns.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Did you see the Drew Ski doing white face thing?

[Nico Ortiz]

Dude, that was awesome. That was so good.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Everybody's freaking out. Like, he's under fire. He's taking. I was like, bro, who did his makeup? That's some of the best makeup I've ever seen.

[Nico Ortiz]

I thought he was a legit white dude. At first. I was like, this is hilarious. When he posted, I literally liked. I was like, this is. I was like, hell, yeah, brother.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

It wasn't just white face. It was full white body body, pink nipples.

[Eli Double Tap]

Dude. The sunburn is what?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Sunburn was so good around his neck or whatever.

[Eli Double Tap]

Sold it for me. I was like, I just.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

It.

[Eli Double Tap]

I watched it. I was like, oh, okay, this is one of those. I was like, man, something is off. And I couldn't tell, though. I was like, huh? And I seen Drew Ski, and then I seen all the other retweets and talking about it, I was like, holy shit. That is actually Drew Ski.

[Brandon Herrera]

I didn't know it was a black guy. When I saw it all over my feed on Twitter one day, and I was busy. I just didn't pay much attention. I didn't realize until a day later, I'm like, oh, that's a black dude. Oh, holy. That's really, like. It was.

[Nico Ortiz]

It was good. It was real fucking good. I was impressed. Did you guys see the video that came out like, it day or two later of the guy? There's, like, a dude that literally is the white version of that. And he's like, it looks just like me. He's like, juski, we got to get you in my derby. We're technically, like, the same person. And. And I was like, they're literally identical twins.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, I didn't.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

He was wearing the overalls with one strap done and every. It looked just like Druski, but he was actually a white redneck.

[Nico Ortiz]

Same hair and everything. Same type of curls and wild.

[Eli Double Tap]

No.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

I didn't see a single white person offended. No.

[Nico Ortiz]

No.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, it's all like, fake outrage.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

I didn't. I didn't see anybody actually pissed off about it. And if you did. If you were actually pissed off about that, go yourself. Calm down like that. It's. Life's not that deep there.

[Eli Double Tap]

Was that also Asian girl did a Kobe.

[Brandon Herrera]

I did not see that.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. Same time it last couple of days, it popped up on my feed and all the comments got in a helicopter crash.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah. I was about to say she got helicopter.

[Eli Double Tap]

Kobe. Her reveal, it's Asian girl and then brown paint going on. It's like, oh, this is a dangerous.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Holy shit.

[Eli Double Tap]

That looks like Kobe Bryant. What the fuck? Now all the comments, a lot of comments. I was like, this is gonna go, what, black guy here? Yeah. This passes. Yeah, yeah, I'm okay with this one.

[Brandon Herrera]

But not only, like. So not only the fact that Asian going to black, but also woman going to male. Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like, that's fucking wild.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's all just makeup. Yep.

[Eli Double Tap]

Shit self done. But his. I mean, you usually have the Dave Chappelle white. It's like, you can tell the black dude.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

White chicks.

[Nico Ortiz]

That's white chick there.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, but that was the first one where it was. It's on the same level of Robert Downey Jr. Like, those two actually in a movie would be fantastic.

[Brandon Herrera]

Did you see the one where they did like a race swap on that? The Somali mayor. I think he's in like, Minnesota or something like that. Like, he's like. He's like the racist stereotype of a Somali. No, but they did a race swap and turned him white and hit. Look, he looks scary. He looks like a fucking demon.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'm good.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Don't show me what's his name type in Minneapolis mayor candidate.

[Eli Double Tap]

Mayor. Mayor candidate.

[Brandon Herrera]

Somali. Omar Fateh.

[Nico Ortiz]

Omar Foot.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, that guy.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, there you go. Candidacy for Minneapolis mayor.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, my God. He does look like the I'm the captain now guy. I don't know if I can say that.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Wait, where's his white version?

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm trying to find. Oh, literally, it came up. I am the captain now.

[Nico Ortiz]

I mean, yeah, he's the same guy.

[Brandon Herrera]

Damn it. It was in my Twitter feed yesterday. Fuck.

[Nico Ortiz]

Got fucking kicked off the Internet.

[Brandon Herrera]

That is like, it's the same person.

[Nico Ortiz]

I'm the captain now.

[Brandon Herrera]

We had that guy on the podcast. Not the small.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was like the guy that killed the smallest.

[Nico Ortiz]

What?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, it's our. Our boy Terry.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, Terry is one of the three that was like.

[Nico Ortiz]

He was like, yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was taking a nap, walked up and everyone's like, hey, get in. Get under the gun. Everything's like lining up. He's like, oh, shit. Okay. And go.

[Nico Ortiz]

I'm about to. This guy. Ding.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's like, what, you just woke up from a nap? He's like, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Imagine bad guys. Imagine the over penetration on a Somali pirate.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yes, bro. Skin and bone, dude.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Nico Ortiz]

Piece of paper.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, it's plywood.

[Nico Ortiz]

Shooting paper.

[Eli Double Tap]

This is just plywood. It's just fucking.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just reseals and confirmed. Doesn't happen.

[Eli Double Tap]

Do you ever struggle with tiny toiletry bottles?

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Eli Double Tap]

Well, with mando, struggle no more. I would not want to spread whole body deodorant on you, Nick.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

It's gonna get all clumpy on my chest hair, but look like I've been rolling around in mashed potatoes.

[Brandon Herrera]

How well does it lubricate?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Was developed by a doctor and it works for 72 hours. Show some respect.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm gonna tell that to everyone at the Magic the Gathering tournament.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I wish I was there when they figured out that it wasn't good for 73 hours. I like to imagine just a fat guy on a treadmill for 72 hours. Straight up, he's turned. Time to shower.

[Brandon Herrera]

Finally fatty Curdled.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Thanks to Mando.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's also named after Mount Fuji.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Really? Mine's bourbon and leather. Because I'm a man, though.

[Brandon Herrera]

Couldn't even get through an ad without a pun.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

What? Do you want to sell the deodorant or not, Brandon?

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm just waiting for the sweet release of death.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

It's not going to come for at least 72 hours.

[Brandon Herrera]

Listen, we did a lot of meet and greets during the live tour. Y' all could use some mando.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

For a strong, independent woman, you can do everything a man can do. You can still use some mando.

[Eli Double Tap]

Our Nick dead.

[Brandon Herrera]

The cops are coming.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

We've got 72 hours to hide the body before it starts to smell.

[Brandon Herrera]

Actually does smell pretty damn good.

[Eli Double Tap]

This one smells like the body wash. Smells actually really good.

[Brandon Herrera]

I have bourbon, leather.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Anybody find the body? No, but that ditch over there smells delicious. There's no way there's a body over there.

[Brandon Herrera]

You said we can ad lib jokes on you. We're into that. This isn't your average deodorant or antiperspirant.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

You can try Mando's starter pack. It's perfect. It comes with absolutely everything. Stick deodorant, cream, deodorant. Two free products of your choice like a mini body wash or deodorant wipes. And free shipping as a special offer. You'll get 20% off site wide with our exclusive Code Unsub.

[Eli Double Tap]

That's Code unsub [e-mail] oh, and we, we were talking before this podcast started. We depending on when this comes out, but we have Don Fry coming on. I think we were all watched that dude since we were little, beating the shit out of people. And this dude has not changed his mindset.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

And 67 years, and it was controversial. 67 years ago.

[Brandon Herrera]

Dude, hearing John Connery talking about women.

[Eli Double Tap]

Have you seen her give her a little hit?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Have you seen him doing mean tweets?

[Brandon Herrera]

Don Fry?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah. No, he's just reading comments about him. Don fry speaks in F350. Like, just shit like that.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's funny.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

My revolver sleeps with Don Fry under its pillow. Like it's just Chuck Norris Morris jokes. But with Don Fry, that's. But he's reading it in his gravelly ass manly voice.

[Eli Double Tap]

He's one I don't think we take to the gym. And Sparrow because he'll hop in and then punch him good. We'll just see him loading up on painkillers like, okay, time to be some ass. And I'm good. Proceed to beat our ass.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, although getting knocked out by Don Fry of all people is pretty cool.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

This is true.

[Brandon Herrera]

He's just wondering if it's gonna happen.

[Eli Double Tap]

Dude, it's the difference. Those type of fighters, their light sparring is a different level of our light sparring.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

There is no light sparring.

[Eli Double Tap]

What do you mean exactly?

[Brandon Herrera]

I've watched when he gets his arm around your neck and just, it's like, all right, well.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

Good night.

[Eli Double Tap]

Demarcus and Sean o', Connell, when I'd watch them spar, I'd spar and there'd be times like friggin demarcus when he hit, he's a heavyweight and he can go 50% is still going to destroy you. I had one where I slipped to the side as he like threw a punch and when it missed, he's like, oh, that would have hurt you. I was like, brother in Christ, that would have killed me. What are you doing right now? And then step out and then watch him and Sean o' Connell spar. And they are fucking tuning each other up at like 90%. And they're afterwards, their friends like, good job, good job.

[Nico Ortiz]

Good job, Daddy. You said it. You're like, you fucking punched him to death. Down syndrome.

[Brandon Herrera]

If you look at the pictures after that fight, it really is like he punched an extra chromosome into that dude.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yes, yes.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'm excited. I'm excited. That's back when they used to not have. It wasn't a build up or it was literally just a build up. It was three fights in a single weekend in a tournament style. And how smoked you are is because how good you did those first couple of fights leading up to your championship round, which is wild to do. An actual Kumite style.

[Brandon Herrera]

Bless you.

[Eli Double Tap]

I love pride.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Kicks to the head, soccer kicks down to pont. None of that existed.

[Brandon Herrera]

When I grew up, pride meant something different fighting in shoes as an accidental Don Fry impression.

[Eli Double Tap]

Dude, face stomping, hits to the groin.

[Brandon Herrera]

No shit.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, brother. You.

[Nico Ortiz]

Everything was good to go.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Everything short of like biting.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah. Mike Tyson type.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Nico Ortiz]

You biting off ears like biting and.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Fish hooking were like the only things.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think that were eye gouging like that.

[Nico Ortiz]

I don't think you could.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

You couldn't. I gouge. But like, I mean, I mean, yeah, there's old school, like UFC and Pride footage of like dudes being caught in submissions and just punching the dude in the dick to get out.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Like full on multiple times to get him to let go of an arm bar.

[Brandon Herrera]

So it's basically the closest we've ever had to professional street fighting.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, kind of. Isn't that when they were doing like nasty soccer? Kicks to Pride? Dude, that's insane.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Kicks to the head of a downed opponent.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

I for dude, I even find out this, you can knee skulls.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

And Vanderlei. So that's Vanderlei Silva.

[Nico Ortiz]

Oh, bro, now that's filthy. But dude, that's got a. Your knee though too.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

I would be more worried about the other guy's neck.

[Nico Ortiz]

Well, he's probably dead.

[Brandon Herrera]

He looks fucking dead.

[Nico Ortiz]

He gone.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like, it's just murder.

[Brandon Herrera]

Sessions like that will kill a man.

[Nico Ortiz]

Oh, dude, why are we doing that now?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Why aren't we guessing?

[Nico Ortiz]

You know people are going to sign up. Why do you want to fight like that?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Why do you think the skill gap of MMA has improved so much recently? Because they survive long enough to get better.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, true, but that's just be. Dude, that would be like the sport to watch that be the next. Like what? Like Power Slap. Have you guys ever gone to that? I've gone Power Slap. Dude. When you see someone smack somebody on tv, that's crazy. But when you see them smack them and you feel it in your fucking chest. What? It makes no sense, dude. It's insane.

[Eli Double Tap]

I could never do that shit.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

That seems like my favorite is when you. You see somebody wind up and. And I've seen men and women do it and they smack the out of them and they go and look straight at them. Just the look of a. Now they get to smack me back. Is the funniest on the planet.

[Eli Double Tap]

They quit too. Sometimes they're like, you know what?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I'm good.

[Eli Double Tap]

Literally.

[Nico Ortiz]

Have you win. Congratulations. You're really good.

[Brandon Herrera]

Have you seen the reals where they do the face filters? And it's like, oh, dude, when you to Asian.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's like an ugly white girl. It's like, what if it's a hot Asian girl?

[Brandon Herrera]

She's like, she just slapped the race out of her.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

They did one with the black guy and they literally slapped the black off of him. And that was the whole comment section.

[Nico Ortiz]

I want to know how your eyes don't pop out, dude. Like, in all seriousness, it's all just straight to the head.

[Eli Double Tap]

This is when you could kick when they're down, like, or.

[Brandon Herrera]

This is probably riveting to the audience about just us reacting to fights they can't see.

[Nico Ortiz]

We're watching gainal sex, guys. It's.

[Eli Double Tap]

I forgot you could just football kick to faces when they're on the ground. I completely forgot about that.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I think he's still Canon 1 FC. No, I think they still allow strikes to the head of a down opponent.

[Eli Double Tap]

UFC's which, like, I don't know, I.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Have mixed feelings because, like, that's the extreme end. But then you have other people that take advantage of the rules. Like when Jon Jones would come out and he would like drag one of his seven foot long arms on the ground by slightly leaning down. And people are like, he's in like a football lineman stance. People are like, what the do I do?

[Eli Double Tap]

You can't.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I can't kick the guy. What? What do I do? So there was one fight, I forget who, who he was fighting, but it was Jon Jones and he was doing that. And the dude threw a head kick right at his head and he ducked it. And Jon Jones looks at Big John McCarthy and Big John McCarthy goes, you wanted to play the game. Like, basically like, I'll DQ him after. But like you're eating the face kick if you want to do that. Dumb. I was like, good, that's a good call.

[Eli Double Tap]

Fair enough. Because then at least the fighter's like, okay, I don't want to do that. That would not feel good.

[Nico Ortiz]

Joe's still gonna up, but, yeah, he's still gonna win. But I see what you're trying to do here, dude.

[Eli Double Tap]

His last knockout, that rib kick to the liver. Stipe, dude, Stipe definitely broke a couple of ribs. Did they release what happened to him afterwards? Because he dropped after that, bro. When you see a kick and then it just cave in, you're like, yep, your floater ribs are gone.

[Nico Ortiz]

Goodbye. Have fun now. See you later.

[Eli Double Tap]

No. Did your friend enjoying meeting everyone? Good, good. He was fun to spar. That's a good. That Nick and his buddy went a lot harder. I was like, oh, they're friends. They're, like, swinging a bit more on each other. They've sparred before.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

We fought before. It's fine.

[Nico Ortiz]

It's hot.

[Eli Double Tap]

I don't know. No headgear.

[Nico Ortiz]

I was like, as long as you got some. I mean, I think doing it without headgear is totally fine, but I'm definitely still rocking mouthpiece. And I'm. We're definitely, definitely still going to need some, like, light gloves.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

That's all I. I've heard. And, like, I saw the one study. I don't. I haven't looked into it extensively, but, like, it made sense to me. The study was like, headgear is worse for you because, a, your head's bigger. It's a bigger target, so you're taking more impact. Like, whether it hits that pad or not, it's still rattling your fucking brain. But the other part is, like, the added weight and torque of, like, if you get hit and your head turns, it's that much more weight and that much more torque on your neck and on your brain because you're increasing the weight of the thing. So they're like, headgear is actually worse for you.

[Nico Ortiz]

I can see that.

[Eli Double Tap]

I guess it's. I think it's bad headgear because you do want that cushion. But at the end of the day, it is your brain rattling around. You have to get rid of that. Which harder to do. I like it as long as I'm wearing winning or a thinner. Good headgear is very rare.

[Nico Ortiz]

But, yeah, I can't even name any type of, like, headgear company that I would buy or even, like, try to participate with just. Yeah, winning.

[Eli Double Tap]

There's a reason, like, all the champs like Pacquiao, everyone uses winning because, unfortunately, it does cost a lot, and you have to wait. It's coming from Japan. But once you use it, there Is no other headgear. Best shit in the world. It just feels comfortable. I don't get headaches after getting punched in the face a whole bunch.

[Brandon Herrera]

That and I. I'm not doing a lot of the punching of your face when we spar.

[Eli Double Tap]

Gotta move. But the.

[Brandon Herrera]

So I, I like the fact that like it protects your face a little bit more so like you don't come away with it. Like less chance of like, you know, broken nose, black eye, like that sort of like the physical stuff people can see. Because I. Right before I announced for the campaign last cycle, I was still training for my boxing match. So that had not happened yet. And we were like, we were sparring four or five times a week. And right before I went to go take the photos that would officially become like campaign photos, I had gotten like a small black eye from Eli and it was not really appropriately photoshopped out I guess like you could just still see like it's like a bit of a shiner and it's still in those photos and people still use it to this day. Like introducing Brandon Herrera. And I see the photo and I'm like, that's the picture where I'm still rocking a pretty obvious black eye.

[Nico Ortiz]

Shit's all like slightly closer.

[Eli Double Tap]

He's a fighter. No, he's a fighter. I mean Nick. I haven't watched R1, but you get Nick's waffle bat fists where it's like I'm moving out of the way of punches. I'm like, oh, I. I put.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Fenn sent it to me or like the day after we filmed it and I just hit it. This Eli moves so fast I could, I literally couldn't tell if I hit him or not. Cuz he moved so quick. And then like it's like one hit the jab almost caught him but he moved like that far out of the way for. And then it's just. The right hand is just a airball. But you in the slow mo. It sounds like a wiffle ball bat moving through the air.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, I was like, like what the are you doing flipping backwards? Because it's like that's coming next. And see don't want to get hit by that.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's when you hear the.

[Nico Ortiz]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Eli Double Tap]

I'm good on all of that. So what kind of. Now that you're actually out here doing it, what is your next style of content you're going to get back into? Are you just going to keep doing.

[Nico Ortiz]

Probably trying to like hunk like IRL streaming I think is like in the sense of, like, content creation and stuff like that. I think how big IRL streaming has gotten is going to kind of change the game a little bit. Especially when you have, like, Live U platforms and stuff like that, which is basically just this tiny little fucking computer that you can plug into your camera and now you can stream on a private jet if you want to. You're not going to need a PC. You can literally stream wherever you want. It's going to replace the computer, like, desktop streaming and. Yeah, so that's basically the next thing is, like, trying to find a good live view pack to work and then doing, like, IRL content. What kind of stuff would you want.

[Brandon Herrera]

To do on the IRL streaming?

[Nico Ortiz]

Dude? Just me being in my backyard doing whatever I want. Having these giant, like, control burns in my backyard, shooting, chopping down trees. I'm lumberjacking it. Lately, all that makes a guy go.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hell, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Nico Ortiz]

I'll be lumberjacking in my backyard because I got a few acres of, like, trees and back there I'm trying to get rid of so I can actually, like, utilize it and like that. But, yeah, nothing like, too serious. I just kind of do whatever I want whenever I want.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

What is it about these trees? You've talked about them a lot. Both on, and they're in my pod. Wait, you moved to Texas? You're like, man, these tree, you're like a beaver. You see running water, you're just like, absolutely not.

[Nico Ortiz]

No, I have this land, but, like, in the. In my front yard, I can, like, do whatever I want. But in the backyard, you've got about, like, maybe 25ft. And then it's just a, like, wall of trees. And I'm like, I paid for this shit. I just bought all this I want to do stupid shit. I want to be able to do whatever I want. I want a helicopter pad back there or something crazy. So I have to, like, chop them all down. And my gym's not put together because I need to build, like, a separate, like, area. I want to put two houses in my backyard. So I'm like, okay, you know what? I'm chopping down all these trees. So I'm just back there with an axe all day. Like, that's my workout.

[Brandon Herrera]

You just had me think about the water, boy. Why is Nico so angry? Well, because he got a helicopter pad but no helicopter.

[Eli Double Tap]

He got all that.

[Nico Ortiz]

I can't get the helicopter till I got the helicopter.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Next episode I'm gonna put the helicopter. Next episode of the Gang does We're all gonna dress up like tree beards from Lord of the Rings and break into Nico's house.

[Nico Ortiz]

There's too many guns all over the place. Now I've got everything. Self defense.

[Brandon Herrera]

Shooting against a tree.

[Nico Ortiz]

Well, I sent Eli a video. I was like, dude, what? I was like, you guys need to, like, have a tree hat hacking competition in the backyard. Pick a line and see who can chop down the most trees in an hour. Because it's just. I just have like, Nico just getting.

[Brandon Herrera]

Free work.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

My friends, and doing manual labor.

[Brandon Herrera]

All right, Tom Sawyer, look at this.

[Eli Double Tap]

Race you can have. Okay, we got Nick, you take the middle.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

It's a 75 entrance fee. Guys pay me.

[Nico Ortiz]

It's my favorite thing to do every single day. I do it every single day. I find time to chop down like 10 trees every day. It is such, like, a good therapy session for me. So it's actually like my favorite thing to do.

[Brandon Herrera]

Still selling it. And then next time it's going to be a competition. Who can paint my fence the fastest building.

[Nico Ortiz]

You want to build a house for me in my backyard too?

[Brandon Herrera]

Unsub becomes Mennonites.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, God. Well, at least how many. How many is left of the tree Clear.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Too many.

[Nico Ortiz]

How many acre? And like, like, maybe like an acre left the trees, Because I have. I have like half an acre in the front and then I have half an acre in the back cleared, and then I have a whole nother acre. So it's only two acres. And then it's just all. But it's like they're all side by side. So it's just fun to kind of go out there and just beat some shit.

[Eli Double Tap]

Be a dude.

[Nico Ortiz]

Beat it with the axe. I was like, oh, is the chainsaw. Because I put some of it on my stories. They're like, get a chance. I'm like, no, no. The axe is actually very fun and it's very relieving. So, yeah, good times.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's like the one dude that chops. It's weird seeing what YouTuber Instagram channel was his, of course would have blown up that one dude that just shows different axes and how to split logs.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Oh, the dude that's jacked and does.

[Eli Double Tap]

It and good looking. Yeah, he got big.

[Brandon Herrera]

And I guess that's in your miles of dick Instagram.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

It's just I read the comments every time and it's just women. I wish I was that log. Getting split up just like raunchiest on the planet every time. Some of them are actually really funny.

[Brandon Herrera]

Go back to your romance novels. Jesus, Christ.

[Eli Double Tap]

And all he does is he doesn't make any windows.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

He doesn't say, just goes out there, splits a log in half.

[Eli Double Tap]

He can split me in half. I'm wet.

[Nico Ortiz]

I'm wet as brother. Split me like a log.

[Eli Double Tap]

Everyone knows that. Yep. It works. And you actually have a female audience base.

[Brandon Herrera]

What's that like?

[Eli Double Tap]

I don't think anyone at this table knows.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think mine's probably the worst out of all of ours as far as female view percentage. All right, let's pull out them dashboards.

[Nico Ortiz]

You got them, ladies, bro?

[Brandon Herrera]

No, no, I want to see yours.

[Nico Ortiz]

Look at you.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, there's.

[Eli Double Tap]

Absolutely has a female audience.

[Nico Ortiz]

No, mine's all just men.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

And what do you got?

[Brandon Herrera]

Let me see.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

What's your percentage of male?

[Brandon Herrera]

I guarantee all my audience is, like, autistic men between the ages of 15 and 35, for which that's, like 80% of them.

[Nico Ortiz]

Which. What platform are we talking about right now?

[Brandon Herrera]

YouTube.

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, yeah. All right.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

What?

[Brandon Herrera]

I got 94.1%.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Damn it. You beat me. 93.7.

[Brandon Herrera]

I knew I would.

[Eli Double Tap]

I.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's. It's all dudes. It's a sausage fest in my audience.

[Eli Double Tap]

Unsub is at 95 male.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, wow.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Shocking.

[Eli Double Tap]

Never mind. We got 5% females, 4.1%.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

My favorite.

[Nico Ortiz]

My favorite thing for males, 89.6.

[Eli Double Tap]

Coming in swinging with 11%.

[Brandon Herrera]

Is doing numbers.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

My favorite thing if I ever get recognized in public by a couple is I. It's only happened, like, twice that the. The woman actually knew who I was and, like, liked the videos, too, with her husband. And every other time, it's just, like, a wife that's, like, embarrassed or annoyed that her husband is, like, fanboying over some other dude. And it's like, whatever. And then she. I'll be. I introduced. Oh, hi, I'm Nick. Oh, hi, I'm Sarah. Whatever. And we'll be talking. And she's like, I know. Don't. I don't know who you are. Sorry. I'm like, oh, it's no big deal. Whatever, you know, that's fine.

[Brandon Herrera]

And then, like, that doesn't offend us. Yeah.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

After we talk for 30 seconds, she's like, okay, I know who you are now. I go, you just recognize my voice from your husband's phone, huh? She goes, yeah, that's. I don't know why that cracks me.

[Nico Ortiz]

Up, the amount of uncomfortable situations I've come across due to the female audience. Like, literally, I was at, what, Tractor Supply with my girlfriend, and literally, I'm talking With this firefighter guy who, like, you know, knew my content. Da da, da, da. Just chatting with him really quick. And then this couple parks, they get out their car, and this guy's with his wife and she goes, oh, my God, Nico. And I was like, what the fuck? And I didn't know. Like, I thought it was like my neighbor or something because I just moved out here. And then my girlfriend's like, oh, those people were saying hi to you. Go. I mean, this is kind of weird thing for me to do, but whatever. I was like, I didn't want them to think I was ignoring them. So I went back inside and I was like, hi, nice to meet you guys. My girlfriend said, you guys like, like said hi. And I. I didn't notice. And she's just like, oh my God, it's so nice there. And her husband's just standing there.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

He's like, husband wasn't a fan.

[Nico Ortiz]

Husband was not a fan, but husband.

[Brandon Herrera]

Was like, well, she just met her hall pass.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, well, no, this has happened like a few times. And I'm just like. And I just like try and then just not talk to the girl. I try to go like, hey, man, don't fucking shoot me or do no dumb shit.

[Eli Double Tap]

100%. Some of those girls be like, it's happened to everyone at the table. But it is just so you know, that's my hall path. I'd fuck him if I met him. And then the husband meeting you at the same time, it's like, fuck.

[Nico Ortiz]

Fuck you.

[Eli Double Tap]

Did you just move here?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

You.

[Brandon Herrera]

You got closer to do list.

[Nico Ortiz]

Kill Nico, dude. I'm like, okay, God damn it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Steal his trees.

[Nico Ortiz]

Steal his trees.

[Eli Double Tap]

Plant more trees.

[Nico Ortiz]

I would lose my mind because I'm working so hard to get rid of all this.

[Brandon Herrera]

You wake up, there's 80 more saplings freshly planted.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

You know, funny that would be to actually do. Pretty funny he's ever out of town.

[Nico Ortiz]

Dude, I would lose in his yard.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just like adolescent trees.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, we're paying for the big ones. We're moving a big ass tree.

[Nico Ortiz]

I'm paying excavator extra.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I'm getting like the three fence posts around it with the chicken wire so it stands up straight. So it's a real big pain in the ass to take out.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hey, Google, what are the hardest trees to chop down with an ass?

[Nico Ortiz]

What are dangerous trees you can't cut.

[Eli Double Tap]

Down with endangered species? Eagle There.

[Brandon Herrera]

We move the spotted owl to San Antonio just to put them in your backyard.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

We get a tree put in and then put a Bat's nest in it. So it's illegal to take down.

[Nico Ortiz]

I'll bite the head off those bats, dude. I don't care.

[Eli Double Tap]

We're evil friends.

[Brandon Herrera]

We build the tree around, like. You know how you can, like, put something to a tree when it's growing up and it just absorbs it? Pieces of rebar.

[Nico Ortiz]

It's on my tree.

[Eli Double Tap]

Hate my friends.

[Nico Ortiz]

Everyone's talking. Be like, my friends do this. I'm like, mine planted trees in my backyard. This. Pieces of. They're like, you have head problems, dude.

[Eli Double Tap]

I know how you know your friends made it. They start doing that level.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Some organization to donate money to buy the trees.

[Brandon Herrera]

What was that?

[Nico Ortiz]

I have to be careful because there's a tree sanctuary a little bit past my backyard. So I can't touch those guys.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's about to be in your yard.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

You're just in your backyard with an axe trying to set a tone for the rest of the forest. Recycle path.

[Nico Ortiz]

This sanctuary. Dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

How do you know your.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Your.

[Brandon Herrera]

Your friends have money? What was that story you said where it's like you pranking your rich friends? Or was it.

[Nico Ortiz]

Was it Hafer?

[Brandon Herrera]

I can't. I can't remember. But it was where in order to. With his. His body. He had, like, somebody dress up in, like a medieval outfit and go read a decree to him.

[Eli Double Tap]

No.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think it might have been an Evan Hayford story.

[Eli Double Tap]

That sounds like an Evan Hafer story, but just.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Paid a dude to be, like, a medieval squire and show up in a board meeting and read a decree to his buddy. I'm trying to remember where I heard that. But it's also funny.

[Nico Ortiz]

I can't wait for all the stupid things you're gonna end up doing to you guys now that I live close. Because it's gonna be very entertaining for me.

[Brandon Herrera]

My trees are in danger.

[Eli Double Tap]

Nico's gonna have a bunch.

[Nico Ortiz]

I'm putting all my trees in your guys's backyards. Good fucking luck. Dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just wake up. We've got, like the Ewok, like, rolling traps and shit like that. Made out of Nico's tweeze.

[Eli Double Tap]

Mr. Brandon had his event. What was that called? Last night?

[Brandon Herrera]

It was just a campaign kickoff event.

[Eli Double Tap]

Campaign kickoff. I was so confused. That's why I was like, what is he. What is the point of this? What? Okay, he's doing this. What do we talk about? Okay, good. But it went. That was awesome to see.

[Nico Ortiz]

It was good.

[Eli Double Tap]

That whole ass place was full of your supporters.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah, it was good. It was. It was just over 150 people. We really put it together, like, I don't know, a couple days prior, it just kind of got thrown together. We were like, oh, let's do this. You know, send out a couple texts, whatever, Try to get a decent crowd there. And it was, it was actually, I think it was, it worked really well. And now I appreciate you guys for, for going up and speaking a little bit. Even though I was informed that nobody told you.

[Eli Double Tap]

That was fun. It was great getting there. I was like, ah, here to support Brandon, my friend. I'll just.

[Brandon Herrera]

Microphone.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

And I was like, what's going on? They're like, oh, you have to get up there and rally up the hype, up the people.

[Nico Ortiz]

I was like, Eli was ready, though. He's like, hey, guy. And it's like.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I was like, that was loud.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, hey, okay. Hey, what's up? It's, like really loud.

[Nico Ortiz]

It was good. You did great. You did great.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was like, oh, I'm getting a drink then. One drink. I'm getting in front of people.

[Brandon Herrera]

Bartender. What? Alcohol, please.

[Eli Double Tap]

You had a guy show up in full body armor. There was a guy name, and he was like, oh, you could. I was going to record you guys hitting me with, like, one of the weapons. I was like, oh, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

No, he, he wanted me to hit him with an axe.

[Eli Double Tap]

I was like, buddy, we can't. I said, no, that's a lawsuit waiting to happen. And we love you with, like, dope, dope fucking armor.

[Brandon Herrera]

I love the energy, right? I can't hit you with a fucking ax at a campaign event.

[Nico Ortiz]

I'm sorry.

[Brandon Herrera]

That sets a very bad tone.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, God. You clip that out of context.

[Brandon Herrera]

Assaults fan with medieval weaponry.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, exactly.

[Nico Ortiz]

No, but it was all real stuff too, because he's like, oh, yeah, dude, this is my armor and that. And he's explaining it to me.

[Eli Double Tap]

It was dope.

[Nico Ortiz]

And I was like, hold on, dude, I'm not gonna grope you, but can I feel your body armor? And I start feeling him and I'm, dude, this shit is, like, hardcore. It's, like all super real. It's super thick. And he's like, yeah, it'll stop arrows, axes, maces, and like, all these things. I'm like, he's gonna have his. You are protecting pepper sprayed out.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Nico Ortiz]

So I poked him.

[Brandon Herrera]

So I, I, I made, I made some sort of joke when you came up to me. I was just like, oh, dude, I see you're ready to travel to modern uk.

[Nico Ortiz]

Jesus Christ. Oh, God. It was a good time. I, I had a Lot of fun there, and everyone was, like, super high in spirit and, like, super excited to see you.

[Brandon Herrera]

The. The crowd's energy was awesome. It was. It was. It was also just nice to see, like, you know, my friends coming out and support meant a lot. Dick.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I wasn't there.

[Nico Ortiz]

Piece of.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Sorry. I was in Iowa doing it.

[Nico Ortiz]

I drove here anyway. You could have got on a plane.

[Eli Double Tap]

You can't blame me.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Why didn't you come to this event that I didn't even know I was doing until a few days ago?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

No, it's good.

[Brandon Herrera]

We want to do a lot more of that stuff in the district this time. Just, like, doing bigger events and just showing up, like, showing the energy because, you know, the Unsub live audience is just incredible. And, like, just.

[Eli Double Tap]

Just.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think with those bigger events, even if people aren't really familiar with our stuff, obviously, we have to tone it down, like, keep it a little bit more professional. It's not quite the Unsub live show.

[Eli Double Tap]

Kind of thing, but they were like, just Brandon's campaign. I was like, don't worry. I'm not gonna. I won't even cuss.

[Nico Ortiz]

I'll behave today.

[Brandon Herrera]

I swore one time on the campaign trail last time. Like. Like, swear, swear. Like, saying. Or something like that. Because I. I was actually like, I know how to turn around. People are like, oh, well, you know, your. Your personality is this. I'm like, that's. That's online. Like, I know how to turn it off and on. Like, I know when to be professional. Right. You know, you talk differently with your friends than you do at church or whatever. Yeah. But I was at a San Antonio Young Republicans thing. It was right after the Republican convention for the state of Texas, and it was held at a distillery. Strike one. But it was. Right. It was. Their AC had gone out, so it was like 100 fucking degrees back there. And I remember going up there, I was like the third person to speak, you know, just. Just giving a speech to the crowd that's there. And I remember, like, I was joking around. Cause it's younger people, so you have a little bit, like, more of a relaxed rapport. And I remember stopping, like, halfway through, I'm like, and these.

[Nico Ortiz]

You almost got me.

[Brandon Herrera]

This is the first time you almost had it.

[Nico Ortiz]

Okay, here's a serious question. Just because I'm not too familiar with it in the world of politics. Is that, like a serious knock on you if you do curse or. No, no.

[Brandon Herrera]

I mean now, like. I mean, you had J.D. vance on Theo Vaughn saying, fuck Trump Says privately a lot, but publicly occasionally. And like, I just don't think people care as much anymore. The age like 20 years ago, yeah, that was a huge problem. Like I could have never run for office 10, 15 years ago. A, I was too young, but B, content, just completely, completely different world. And I think Trump did open that up to a large degree. But I think people are just start the, The Republican Party especially was much more like pearl clutching in that way. And I just don't think that's the, the case anymore.

[Nico Ortiz]

Fair enough.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just good, because that's the. That doesn't matter. I'm like, I don't care about your personal life for the most part. It's like I, I care about how you vote.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's not relatable.

[Nico Ortiz]

And people would know how you are like, as a person. Not that cursing like dictates who you are, but like, you know, flies on the Internet and like, you are who you are. So it's like, why would it really matter? But you're obviously like an extreme professional. You do so great. So it's like, why would it matter if it did fly once or twice when you're out there just talking openly to the people?

[Brandon Herrera]

So I was curious, you know, when to be professional and when to cut loose and whatnot. But yeah, no, I just don't think like. And I know a lot of voters don't think this way, which is really kind of like, I don't enjoy that mindset. I'm not running to be. To babysit your fucking kids. Right. Like, why do you care what I do in my personal day?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

This is a choose your fighter loading screen for Street Fighter. This is not who do I want to teach Sunday school.

[Brandon Herrera]

Do you want a guy who's going to be like a scrappy boardroom guy who's made a lot of money doing stuff like this, like knowing how to run businesses and knowing how to talk to people, communicate in the real world. Or do you want a guy who's squeaky clean because he's always wanted power, he's always wanted to run. He kept a clean record because he just wants to be, oh, I'm Johnny on the spot. I don't, I don't curse in public.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, fake.

[Brandon Herrera]

And these are all also like, a lot of those people are some of the worst people behind closed doors because it's a screen. Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, yeah. You're faking everything. It's more terrifying actually, because they're really good at putting up that front 24 7. So when are you getting the Real version of them versus, oh, they don't give a shit. This is how they talk. And then behind the screen, oh, there's.

[Brandon Herrera]

Certain politicians that I've talked to. I'll keep their names out of it, but there's certain people that I have talked to, like members of Congress, senators, stuff like that, where, you know, they've got that professionalism publicly. But then, like, we're on the phone or, like, we're meeting in person, and as soon as they let it fly, like one. One thing, like, specific example, we were talking about somebody that both of us didn't like, and he goes, listen here. This little sucker. And I was like, now I'm talking to the real guy.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

The politician screen. The facade is down. Like, now I'm talking to the human. And it's. It's just weird. It's weird how people have to do that.

[Eli Double Tap]

I do not envy any of that.

[Nico Ortiz]

Nope.

[Eli Double Tap]

Like, no, I'm good, buddy. I'm good.

[Brandon Herrera]

Nick, are you ever smarter, man, than I.

[Eli Double Tap]

You ever gonna do any of that?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

We'll see. If I get bored enough.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, there you go.

[Eli Double Tap]

If I get injured enough, nothing's.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I just. I just. I just want to go out there and dunk on politicians that hit him a basketball.

[Nico Ortiz]

He's actually just dunking on dudes.

[Eli Double Tap]

I mean, you just look at.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I don't want anything to travel, though. I just want to go to, like. Like, I. I want to be, like, governor of Iowa.

[Brandon Herrera]

I just want to be like, I. I want to. I just.

[Eli Double Tap]

This is mine now.

[Brandon Herrera]

The biggest. Literally the biggest job in all of Iowa, which, like, representing all of, like, 80,000 people.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Three million.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Nico Ortiz]

He knows. He's such a good future politician.

[Eli Double Tap]

King of the cobs.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

King of the cobs.

[Eli Double Tap]

You walk out with your corn cob crown.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

That's right.

[Brandon Herrera]

That would be very funny.

[Eli Double Tap]

Don me. This is mine now.

[Brandon Herrera]

What's the biggest city in Iowa? Des Moines.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. How many people live there?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

800,000, probably.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. Dear God. There is about that many people in my district.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah. I mean, San Antonio and the surrounding areas, like, roughly the same population as the state of Iowa.

[Brandon Herrera]

Seventh. Yeah. Actually. Yeah. The metropolitan area here, because it's the seventh largest city in the country. It doesn't feel like it, though.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, it does.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

When you try to drive across it.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Nico Ortiz]

If you actually go.

[Eli Double Tap]

Because we only stay on, like, the.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Northwest side, we stay in one little pizza sliver of San Antonio. If you were, like, on this end and you drive to that end, it's like an hour and A half with no traffic. Oh yeah, and there is traffic. You're fucked.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's a big city. That's why you don't go anywhere here at five o'. Clock. Fuck you.

[Eli Double Tap]

No, no, again, like New Braunfels is, word of the wise, adjacent to us.

[Nico Ortiz]

Okay?

[Eli Double Tap]

And we won't go to New Braunfels because it's an hour and minutes away on a good at five o'. Clock. Yeah, and it's still. This is.

[Brandon Herrera]

Hang it up.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's still San Antonio.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

This is why I'm never leaving Iowa. Everywhere we go here is 35 minutes away. Grocery store 35 minutes, gas station, 35 minutes.

[Brandon Herrera]

Okay. Does Iowa still have that shitty thing that Indiana does where they like you have open road where there is literally nothing you could hit. There is not a heartbeat within miles. But they still have like speed limits of like 45 miles an hour.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

All the back roads, like the highways and stuff are usually 55. But like everybody speeds. Nobody really cares.

[Brandon Herrera]

Out West Texas. Well, partially because it's like a necessity because again, there's Nothing there but 85 miles an hour.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

But I think I, I'm assuming, I'm assuming the reason we don't do that is a. Well, no, A, we, we have. We have winter, cowardice. We have winter. And some is still going to try to go 85 when there's ice on the ground. Me and B, there's, there's Eli in a drift that there's so many farms and farm equipment has to use that road too. So some is going to be on Cruise control going 85, come over a hill and there's a harvester in the road trying to get to its next field and it's going to smoke it.

[Brandon Herrera]

And see, I don't want to hear these excuses.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

That's fair. They said I live where grows. Sorry.

[Brandon Herrera]

You'd be surprised how much has grown in West Texas.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I'm listening.

[Brandon Herrera]

Pecans. We're actually one of the biggest producer of pecans in the entire country. Pecans, pecan trees, whatever. I know and I like different stuff like that. There's. There's stuff like that. There's industries there. There is agricultural industries in West Texas. Ask me how I know. How do you know how to learn all this?

[Eli Double Tap]

Because I don't.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, you know.

[Nico Ortiz]

Oh, really?

[Brandon Herrera]

I actually.

[Nico Ortiz]

No, I have.

[Brandon Herrera]

Well, so I had to talk to a lot of these, these farmers and just kind of listen to some of their stories because they're talking about like border crisis shit and they're giving me videos like, especially like the pecan farmers out toward, like, way more like El Paso way. But they're just like, yeah, this is us working on a tractor, and here's 30 dudes cutting our fences and just running through our property.

[Eli Double Tap]

FA fa fa fa fa.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's technically a crime.

[Nico Ortiz]

No, they were running at me with knives. I don't know. God, I don't know why all my clothes were off. They just. I just started punching me in the head and taking all my clothes off. So I had to gas that out. Dear God, never. Okay, guys, because my. My address may already be out there. Never come to my house unannounced. Like, I'm just gonna.

[Eli Double Tap]

Please.

[Nico Ortiz]

I value my fans. We were just trying to play a tree house. Like, I can't stress it enough. I'd be clutching on my neighbors and everything because I got like, HOA and like that. And I just immediately had to set the tone every single time they tried, like, gently pulling up into my driveway. And I always have gun on me, so I just clutch on my. And I just pull out and I'm like, oh, my bad. Never come here unannounced or try and.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Sneak up or you right by it.

[Nico Ortiz]

Oh, no. I'm in a HOA area and I still do whatever the I want.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Just a psychopath in a G wagon chopping down trees with a gun. Honestly, neighbors.

[Eli Double Tap]

Interesting.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Interesting.

[Brandon Herrera]

If I saw that and that was my next door neighbor, I would be like, hell yeah. It's better than a live laugh love sticker.

[Nico Ortiz]

I have. I have. Like, the other day, I was out my driveway in my disability chair, just kind of fucking about, and I was making a little short, and I had, like, my rifle with a suppressor, and I'm like. And my neighbors. You can see him through the window, like. And I'm like, I think he fakes disability dude again.

[Eli Double Tap]

A G wagon pulls up. Niko gets out, runs to the backyard. Don't know what he's wearing. Grabs an axe, starts cutting. Also this.

[Nico Ortiz]

Hey, guys. What's up, Eagle? Oh, please. Your boy.

[Eli Double Tap]

And then the chair rolls by.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

I would not know what to think of my neighbor.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, just don't come here. Don't come to my house.

[Eli Double Tap]

You'll be like, what the is wrong with him?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

So Pewview got a new house with an acreage and a pond, and he's building a dope ass gun range, like, rivaling Matt's gun range. Like, it's insane.

[Brandon Herrera]

No.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

And. And he's got. It's like, out in the country, no houses for literally miles, except for there's one house like 30ft to the left of his house, right on the property line. And he, he. He was straight up with them. He's like, look, I'll buy your house if you guys want. I'm putting a gun range in. Whatever. And apparently he's. He's only shot like 90 rounds there. And they're just pissed. They already went to the county meeting trying to get like, the noise ordinances changed and. But like, they checked all this before they bought the property. And they're like, you guys live 10 miles out of the nearest town country. There's nothing you can do.

[Brandon Herrera]

So there's no. Or like no minimum property requirement for shooting?

[Nico Ortiz]

No, I thought there is via county. Because I'm trying to do the same thing on my property line.

[Eli Double Tap]

Different. Yeah, because.

[Nico Ortiz]

Oh, I. Okay. So out here in Texas, you need. Need what, 10. Yeah, 10 acres. And I'm like, all right, well, that's. My next goal is like 50 acres.

[Eli Double Tap]

Iowa.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

You can shoot all the guns you want, as long as it's not. I think the cutoff is like 10pm it's from like 10pm to 6am you can't shoot other than that. But I mean, Pewview shoots 20, 000 rounds a month probably.

[Nico Ortiz]

And they are already, like, coming for his life.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

They're already, like, super pissed about it. And like, there's nothing.

[Nico Ortiz]

I mean, like, like, don't get me wrong, I understand as like a neighbor, like, that could be frustrating to see both sides, but then again, like, there's got kind of middle ground. You guys can like, live civilly together.

[Brandon Herrera]

As long as you're not being an. And like doing a bunch of. At like 11 o' clock at night.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, you know, like, you want to be courteous even. Even when I was out in the country, like, my shop was out in the country and we had a range there. We weren't shooting, like, late night or anything like that. When the sun went down, we were done. Like, it. Just trying to be nice to the neighbors that were like a mile away, you know?

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, I'm trying not to be a dick to my HOA right now and be nice. All my neighbors are really cool and like, they already get it it. But like, right now it's like duking out with the HOA because in order to do like, asphalt my driveway, put a gate in, build two houses in the back, build like a gym on the side that can fit, like, my cars and stuff like that, it's like, oh, you have to submit all this Paperwork, and it has to be approved via HOA before you do that or they can find it. And I'm like, listen, guys, I hope the paperwork goes by fast because you. I. I just hope they're not, like, aggressive with it, because, like, I'll be an absolute piece of. And you guys could get a whole new series of me just duking it out with the HOA Because I was like, they're like, well, you better be careful, because. And I'm calling them on the phone, like, hey, where do I submit the documents? Because I believe I have to submit paperwork for my asphalt driveway, because that's the first thing I'm gonna do for, like, this big roundabout. And they're like, oh, yeah, you need to fill out that paperwork. And I'm like, or you're gonna get fined. And I'm like, bitch, I'll pay that shit and do whatever the I want. Like, so we're gonna see how it turns out. Out could be very fun.

[Brandon Herrera]

You always want to play nice at first, right? You want to try to.

[Nico Ortiz]

Like, that's why I'm like, I'm gonna. I put in all the paperwork. I did all of it. It's just. There's no possible way. I just paid for my home. I have this land. I'm totally off of the road in my own area, and you're gonna tell me I can't build in my backyard quietly and silently and put together, like, a beautiful home? There's no way. I'll fight that fight every time.

[Brandon Herrera]

That drives me me crazy. It's like the antithesis of the American dream. It's like, oh, yeah, cool. I. I've got a, you know, acre of land. I've got a, you know, a house, white picket fence, two and a half kids. I want to build a tree house in the backyard, and somebody can come in there and say, no, you cannot wild.

[Nico Ortiz]

No it. And like, you said, like, the neighbors thing is huge to me. Like, first week of moving in, made all my neighbors gift baskets. I'm not a hard guy to deal with, but I may make people nervous sometimes. I was like, hey, here's my number. If you guys need anything, let me know. Promise them really nice. Like, da, da, da da. And they're awesome. All my neighbors are. My immediate neighbors are awesome.

[Brandon Herrera]

Crazy thing. It's like, if you're nice to us, we're nice to you.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, absolutely. And we. We're all, like, cool. Like, everyone's chickens and be, like, roaming onto our property and whatnot. So it's awesome.

[Brandon Herrera]

That's awesome. So hopefully that ends well.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, it's. It's still wild.

[Nico Ortiz]

It's going to be fun. Yeah. Stream this is. These I be talking about, guys.

[Eli Double Tap]

Say I'll make you famous, Carol.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

I don't know how you still do live streaming, bro.

[Brandon Herrera]

There's no reasonable expectation of privacy. And my property?

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, pretty much.

[Eli Double Tap]

There's another one, Mr. Nico. Thank you, baby.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Good.

[Eli Double Tap]

What are you working on right now?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I got one video I want to do, but the guy's still alive, so I'm trying to talk to him and get permission. Permission to make the video about him.

[Nico Ortiz]

Waiting for him to die.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. Can you die, dude?

[Brandon Herrera]

Dude just yourself waiting outside his house.

[Nico Ortiz]

With an air horn first thing in the morning, people.

[Brandon Herrera]

Jesus, Nick.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

No, dude's a badass. I just want to tell a story. It's dope.

[Eli Double Tap]

Who is it?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Ed Eaton. Probably like the coolest sniper that nobody's ever heard of. So he was in Vietnam and his chopper went down and he was like the only dude still not severely wounded from this chopper crashes. He was a sniper. His sniper rifle got like broken and the scope was all fucked up. And it's at night time and he had a starlight scope, which is like an early. It's kind of like an acog. Like it uses light to illuminate, so it's kind of early vision technology. And he had this scope on a sniper rifle. So he climbs up on top of this, like, burning helicopter as they're getting attacked by an entire platoon of nva and he's alternating between his sniper rifle. He figured out the Kentucky windage of how up his scope was on the fly. So he's doming dudes with his sniper rifle and swapping out and mag dumping with an M16, trying to convince him that there's more than one guy up there. Fights for like two hours until they met. Her back him out.

[Nico Ortiz]

That's horny.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

They get everybody loaded up on the plane and one dude is injured. And the guy's like, I'm not gonna make it. Just leave me. And he like grabs a grenade and pulls a pen. He's just gonna hold it until they come to get him. He's gonna blow himself up. And as the helicopter is taken off, Ed Eaton jumps back out of the helicopter and defends that dude till the next helicopter shows up by himself.

[Nico Ortiz]

Holy massive dick, bro.

[Eli Double Tap]

Did he make him get rid of the grenade? I'd be like.

[Nico Ortiz]

He's like, no.

[Brandon Herrera]

Dude's dude's bleeding out. Like.

[Nico Ortiz]

Like grip starts relaxing he was like, oh, so the dude back there, buddy.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

The dude makes it and there's like an interview where they're interviewing both of them, like hearing both sides of the story from Ed. And then the guy that he saved. And the guy that he saved is like, Ed told me he was gonna save the last two bullets for us. So he put the grenade back away because, like, they weren't gonna get caught by the nva. But he ended up fighting off every everybody by himself and saving the dude.

[Nico Ortiz]

Jesus.

[Brandon Herrera]

So, yeah. Have you ever done a video before on somebody who is still alive?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

No. Nope, not that I'm aware of.

[Brandon Herrera]

Even Fat Files.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Fat Files. Like I'll cover CEOs and stuff, but like telling the story of a CEO versus telling like a war story, like, I just, I don't know if they're still alive. Like, that's their story to tell. So I'm not going to tell it without their permission.

[Eli Double Tap]

That one would be a dope one. So would.

[Brandon Herrera]

Which you just did for the record.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah, but I mean, like you can. That's the Cliff Notes from like, they've already done a History Channel, like Greatest Sniper Shots. He was in that. Like, that's all just from that. That's nothing from like his book that he wrote, which is called Mekong Mud Dogs. So I'm trying to get him to work with me and he's like, well, you know, I don't know if I have anything new to add to it. We covered it in a book and I was on History Channel and I was like, I get that. And like, the book's great. Great. The History Channel episode's great. But the History channel thing was 15 years ago. The book hasn't been printed in 15 years. Like, it's not about uncovering anything new. It's like, I want to expose this story to the next generation.

[Brandon Herrera]

More people will see it on your channel than they will ever see it on History.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Exactly. It's like, you know what I mean? Like all these 20 year old kids, like, what are the odds they're going to run into your book, pick it.

[Nico Ortiz]

Up and read it and the way you're going to relay and portray this story and like, like give it to the viewer.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. Give it life in that nick. The fat electricity.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

And I'll push the book after the fact and then, you know, hopefully you get more book sales. I hope you're still making money from that.

[Nico Ortiz]

So he said, were you like, bro.

[Brandon Herrera]

When you're dead, I'm doing it.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

No, if he tells me he doesn't.

[Eli Double Tap]

Want me to do it to you.

[Brandon Herrera]

My boy, he said if he tells.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

You what I said, if he tells me he doesn't want me do it, I. I'll just never do the video. So. So.

[Brandon Herrera]

But hopefully he wearing down the timer on that one.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

No, but it is kind of cool. Like, a lot of videos, like, probably 50% or more of the videos I do when I cover a war hero, every, like 50% of the time, there's a comment in there that was like, this was my uncle, this was my dad.

[Eli Double Tap]

This was.

[Brandon Herrera]

I see a lot of those.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Like, then those are super cool. Like, I think Roy Benavidez's daughter commented on My Word video.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, that's cool.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

So it's.

[Brandon Herrera]

I've seen that a little bit in your comment sections.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah, it always. They always wind up at the top.

[Nico Ortiz]

Top.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Because so many people like them. So that's pretty cool to see.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's wild to see and probably experience on your side. You're like, oh, that's dope. That reached that.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I'm just happy. I like it. So far I have avoided anybody being upset at me because then I'm gonna feel bad, like, ah, hey, you didn't do a good job on that one, apparently.

[Nico Ortiz]

Well, no, you. I don't think you've ever, like, obviously you've never portrayed anything in, like, a bad light. So, Yeah, I don't even see how that could come across unless somebody's like, for some reason, reason, way shape or form, like, money hungry. And they're like, oh, you did this. And that's like, my great, great, great, great, great granddaddy uncle baby mama, I want a bill or two. Like, fuck off.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

But I mean, most of. Most of the guys I cover, they've already had books about them. They've had History Channel specials about them. They've had all this different stuff.

[Brandon Herrera]

I think Cody's experienced that a couple times where people are like, hey, I was in that video you released. Give me money.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, that's the same. That happens every single video on my YouTube and mine's just compilation shit.

[Brandon Herrera]

Really?

[Nico Ortiz]

Like, so am I gonna get paid since, like, you did that? That. And I'm like, bro, what? We keep your handle and in there, like, it's a promo for you if you want. Like, no, just.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just send them back. The definition of fair use.

[Nico Ortiz]

No, exactly. And I'm like, that's all my content is, dude. And like, I don't have any paywalls. I'm not even making, like, crazy buco bucks from it, like, I'm just like, it. It's here for, like, for free for people who want to watch my.

[Brandon Herrera]

I had a guy go skits schizo on me one time for. It was like a Darwin Awards Club clip. It's like a dude just, like, you know, doing the. The 18. Was it model 1887? Like the. The. The loop thing? Like the Terminator 2?

[Eli Double Tap]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Doing the reload like that. And it was a meme. It wasn't even his original video. It was. I had no idea who the guy was, but he had. Somebody made a meme of it where, like, as the gun's flipping back around toward the camera, if for a minute, Kurt Cobain pops up and it goes. It's a great, great meme. And the guy's like, how dare you say what I was doing was unsafe? I. Blah, blah. And just, like, Skitso ranted and, like, kept commenting and, like, commented on other people's stuff. Like, this guy's a piece of. He did whatever. I'm like, bro off. So people like it.

[Nico Ortiz]

It's crazy.

[Brandon Herrera]

It's a joke. Like, that wasn't even one where I'm like, oh, Darwin Award. Like, what a. I was just like, yeah, this is. I think it was just like a throwaway clip.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's funny.

[Brandon Herrera]

And it was. It was content. It was. It was transformative because it was a meme. Somebody else made it made.

[Nico Ortiz]

Some people just don't get it. I just literally don't understand, like, why are you like. I'm like, you know, you put this out there already, right? Like, you know this exists. Like, you uploaded this. For the world, for eternity and all of life as you are living. And when you are dead, it will still be here. Why? What. Get the out of here. Like, just stop.

[Eli Double Tap]

Why, you mad dog. Yeah, let's just kiss, dude. I would be. We. Did we talk about, like, with the Shrek stuff. That'd be the heart. Most scary thing is you do a video, and the second you hit, publish.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Another reason I don't cover people alive.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yes, exactly.

[Brandon Herrera]

Oh, I see.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's one of those things where it's like, okay, cool. I released this video.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

You know who got caught with that? Popo.

[Eli Double Tap]

Popo. Dude, popo.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

We love it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Popo.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Medic did a video on Shrek, like, six days before all the stuff came out or, like, the controversy about it.

[Brandon Herrera]

Do you want to. Do you want to address that a little bit so people don't think you're talking about the Dreamworks animated film?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah, So I have not looked. I don't know if the allegations are true or not. I haven't looked into it. I have no idea. Out of my pay grade on that. Not a Green Beret, don't understand all the protocols. Basically, there's a John Shrek McPhee, nicknamed the Sheriff of Baghdad. He was in Delta Force, known for doing all these crazy missions. He's been on Joe Rogan, he's been, he's done the whole podcast horror. He's got a ton of viral clips out there there. Been interviewed a ton and was becoming like pretty big online military celebrity. And then Popo Medic did a video on him and his exploits. And then like six days later there was a bunch of allegations that came out. I have no idea if they're true or not. Haven't looked into them.

[Brandon Herrera]

But there was just like, like stolen valor esque.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Popo Medic, I don't think it was.

[Brandon Herrera]

I don't, I don't know what it is.

[Nico Ortiz]

I haven't heard what it is. I'm curious because I just see some like, oh, paperwork doesn't lie. And I'm like, I talked about on say hi to Eli, how when I transitioned from the active army to the reservist component because I still have my ERB versus my srb, I'm like, paperwork do lie sometimes. I'm not even gonna lie to you. But like, what? I don't know what, like, but that's like minute shit. And I'm like, well, what do you mean? Like, what happened?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

According to what I heard, I don't know if it's true, he got his Special Forces tab revoked for doing something wrong and was kicked out of Special Forces and then retired as a regular master sergeant.

[Brandon Herrera]

Yes.

[Eli Double Tap]

And that was covered in them.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

But he was a Delta Force guy for years.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah, I could give a less at that point if I'm, if I was to be transferred. I'm like, bro, he did cool guy. I'll never do cool guy like that. Good for you. And the thing is like, I mean, those Delta dudes are just such high caliber individuals and people think like they drink and do all this crazy and so like, they're like, act accordingly. Are you just like, you're gone, like, not, not killed, but like, you're not gonna stay here? Like, yeah, the big representation. So I don't know let alone what those dudes go through if you got kicked out. Like, I can't imagine what you've already been through. So to me, I'm like, if you Are even an individual who's able to live in that lifestyle, which I could never do. Good on you. And if you up, man, eat it, move on.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

But yeah, but no, I mean, my perspective was just like the, the suck factor for Popo medic who like just did a video on the guy that he thought was awesome. And then like by happenstance, six days later, all these allegations come out, whether they're true or not. And he's just getting lit up in his own comment section over. Over it. So like, he just kind of got screwed out of the gate because he.

[Brandon Herrera]

Didn'T really do anything wrong.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah, he didn't do anything wrong. He just operated on the information he.

[Nico Ortiz]

Was told that was out there.

[Eli Double Tap]

And then instantly like, reality check. And you're like, all the timing especially how dare you do serendipities of the timing would just suck dick. You're like, really? Six days after my video goes up.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

And the shitty part for him, he only uploads once a month.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

So it's like, it's just sitting in his algorithm as his newest video for 30 days. Correct.

[Nico Ortiz]

Nick is not talking, by the way. Please don't kill him.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah, that's true.

[Nico Ortiz]

Thank you. We are just relaying information. Thank you.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah, no, that would suck. But that's why I was like, okay, Ed Eaton, he's like in his 70s. History channels done it. His book's done it. It's. It's been out there long enough. If he was going to get called out, it would have got called out.

[Brandon Herrera]

So I was like, Nick becomes the reason.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I've had people react to my videos before that have like PhDs in history and they're like, this is wrong. This is wrong. I. I had one dude that wrote an entire book disparaging a Medal of Honor recipient that did a three hour react to my video going through like, excruciating detail about how like, actually there's no evidence of this. And the, the Reese. The first time it ever appeared in the historical record was three years after the fact in a newspaper article. Blah, blah, blah, blah. I was like, the. Has the Medal of Honor, the government said this happened?

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, it is a wild thing to say. Like, well, there's no secondary resources to say that this happened to call out a Medal of Honor recipient.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, the level of detail, the level of detail they do on the back end when they're verifying your recipient doesn't know any of that shit's happening. Just like, I think, I mean, like Clint. Yeah, Clint. Did he talk about it though?

[Brandon Herrera]

Yeah. He talked about the fact, like, he didn't know why he was being brought to dc.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. It was on the walls. Yeah. And it was like, yes. I was wondering if he talked about it.

[Brandon Herrera]

He was talking about the fact that, like, he thought of, like, oh, shit, they found out about some stuff.

[Nico Ortiz]

The war crimes. The war crimes.

[Brandon Herrera]

He's being brought to this place in D.C. where they're like, giving him a slideshow in the Medal of Honor. And he's just like, excuse me, why the am I here? They're like, oh, nobody told you?

[Eli Double Tap]

His team had been talking for six months to years leading up to him receiving it. He just had no clue. He thought it was. As Brandon said, he's like, oh, I like. Any soldier's mind's like.

[Nico Ortiz]

I'm like, I like that, though. I like the fact that. That, like, it's such a, like, thorough process. It's not a fucking participation trophy in any way shape or form.

[Eli Double Tap]

It's not a historian getting on there. It's like, well, actually, it's always.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

And it's happened multiple times with multiple Medal of Honor recipients, but they're always like. And like, people that should be reputable, like historians and shit. And they're like, well, actually, this story was most likely propaganda that the government signed off on to make the American military or his chain of command did this to make them look good. And it's like, I don't understand the common sense, because it's always like some Medal of Honor recipient that like, shit hit the fan. All of his guys were down, and he turned into Captain America and saved the day. And it's like, from a chain of command perspective in the military, if you were trying to make yourself look good as a commanding officer that was off site, what do you think makes you look better as a leader of men? Shit hit the fan. And all of your guys followed protocol, did what they were supposed to do, what you trained them to do, and it got them through a horrible situation or the Terminator just happened to be there in time and saved the day for everybody.

[Brandon Herrera]

Like, not only that, but it's like the. From. From a chain of command perspective, like, why was in the first place.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Exactly.

[Nico Ortiz]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

It's like, nobody's writing these dudes up because they think it's gonna make them look good that this guy saved the day for their mission. That they up.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, like, because there is a key factor in why. I mean, we can go to even that fight with Clint. It is the. The fishbowl they decided to make that fob in. Yeah, yeah. And then you had. Even General George thought, it's a terrible Sun Tzu.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Take the low ground. Yeah, yeah, brilliant.

[Eli Double Tap]

Side. Yeah. I need elevation.

[Brandon Herrera]

Okay, it's over, Anakin. I'm surrounded on all sides, you fool.

[Eli Double Tap]

And General George saying, hey, what the are we doing here? And then the leadership from that side being like, like, no, we're not changing it. This is great. And then that falls down, like, okay, okay. Actually, we might have maybe up. I think two medal of honors came from that fight that.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I don't know.

[Eli Double Tap]

I think.

[Brandon Herrera]

But again, which one are you talking about, Clint?

[Eli Double Tap]

Romesha, Red 2.

[Nico Ortiz]

It was him. And then that one specialist. No, yeah, the E5. And then the specialist or the corporal.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah, I mean, they were calling for five. You read about that entire sequence and you're like, like, holy this.

[Nico Ortiz]

You're like, that's it. That's what it's a about, dude.

[Eli Double Tap]

You're just call for fire. And then Clint. I mean, you guys have met Clint. He's the most unassuming, kind, happy dude.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just a good old boy.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah, they always are. Yeah. 100% of the time.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. When you meet any of them, like, oh, man, how you doing? You're like, dear God, they are going.

[Nico Ortiz]

To be alive still. That is great.

[Brandon Herrera]

At least. At least in my experience. Like, they'll never be the one to tell you that they're a Medal of Honor recipient or anything like that. Like, they're just chill dudes. Like, Clint, straight up looks like an oil worker.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

Because that's what he was doing before. Yes, it was just like that. Just a normal, unassuming guy. Super kind, super funny.

[Nico Ortiz]

Well, I think that's why, like, the aspect of getting the award in the first place is, like, above yourself for all others. And so. So from that moment on to Carrot, even to now, you're like, oh, he just didn't even give a about that. That piece of metal was like, about the team, about the boys, about the people around him. It's like, all I can do is do the best I can for everyone else.

[Brandon Herrera]

And that's definitely how he comes off, talking to him.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. Even Sal. Sal won't even curse. Sounds like, oh, frick, dude, it's great meeting you. Dang it. I'm like, bro, what, you don't curse? He's like, no, why would I Like nothing. Just stack.

[Nico Ortiz]

I'm not gonna buy.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was gonna say these are no.

[Nico Ortiz]

Opinion of this sort at all, sir.

[Brandon Herrera]

I was gonna say, these people have kept funeral homes in Business.

[Eli Double Tap]

Yeah. And they're just salt and just good as people.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Fuck.

[Eli Double Tap]

Nick, how goes you're training? You're still not drinking. You're fucking taking it super serious.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Eli Double Tap]

You're just trying to win.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

I don't even know the parameters to win.

[Eli Double Tap]

But I don't know for you. How much weight are you down?

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Not much. Ten pounds. Pounds.

[Nico Ortiz]

Maybe he's putting on that muscle, baby, at the same time. Look at him. Look at how jacked he is.

[Brandon Herrera]

He's becoming the jacked electrician.

[Eli Double Tap]

I know.

[Nico Ortiz]

The jacked electrician.

[Eli Double Tap]

Is it happening? Brandon's down almost 20.

[Brandon Herrera]

I'm down as of this morning, 24 pounds, girl.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Yeah.

[Brandon Herrera]

The working out with Eli a whole bunch and eating like lettuce. I mean, aside from, aside from drinking, which I'm doing way less of that too.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

Too.

[Brandon Herrera]

Except for Cody's birthday. The. I mean, Tuesdays drink and Wednesdays. No.

[Nico Ortiz]

What about Fridays at 3pm Sundays?

[Brandon Herrera]

Aside from that, I'm like almost entirely keto. Because it's like I, I, my diet is protein shakes, the protein puffs, first form little protein bars. And like, if I go to restaurants and it's just all like grilled chicken.

[Nico Ortiz]

Nice.

[Brandon Herrera]

Just have like a grilled chicken breast or something. Something.

[Eli Double Tap]

Always hitting it hard. And all the boys start fighting with us.

[Nico Ortiz]

Well, I'm down to fight with y' all all the time. Like I said, my whole combative studio, you've seen it. Because I think you and Nick, you guys have been to the house before with the kit. I don't think you saw it, but I have my nice little combative studio in my garage. But now I don't have any room to like, lay out all my mats, my bag and like, all that.

[Nick the Fat Electrician]

He's trying to get me to chop the trees down again.

[Nico Ortiz]

No, I wouldn't you guys to come straight at the garage, you know. But I have to warm up.

[Eli Double Tap]

Guys, just cut down this line of jeffries. No.

[Nico Ortiz]

Eli, go mow my grass. And there we go.

[Brandon Herrera]

See?

[Eli Double Tap]

Okay, I think on that note, we're gonna close this out. Our boy Brandon has to go talk on camera.
