Cody

Okay, next we've got Cody S. I, Blue Eagle, Falcon, Hookers, whatever we're calling y'all these days, bitches. I have something to vent about again today. Christmas, Christmas gifts, Christmas group texts. Okay, so my fiance, his side of the family is fucking crazy when it comes to Christmas gifts. We have a shared list amongst the family of what these people want.

Then there is seven individual group text messages. Okay. Going amongst these seven different people trying to keep up with who is buying what, who wants to split the gift, how much money, who did what, this, that, that. They keep adding shit. It is fucking crazy. ridiculous and out of hand. I have never experienced something like this in my entire life.

We're on year three and why I'm bitching about it right now. Don't know, but I really need to get this out and just, it is annoying the piss out of me. 187 messages I woke up to this morning, 187 amongst these seven family group texts for mom, brother one, brother two, uncle, grandma. It's, it's a, I fucking had it.

Hi, my name is Cody and I have a question about travel credit card rewards points. I have heard from super travel optimizers that the most efficient way to get points is to open new cards and get signup bonuses. I don't have or spend that much money. So I have one card with an annual fee that Chase Sapphire preferred card. My wife also got one.

So we got all our points there and we've opened a handful of other no annual fee chase cards and a couple other cards that had some signup bonuses. But from here, I'm not going to buy like a $250, $350 a year annual fee card. because this is not in our budget. So are there other free cards from hotels or airlines or other non-chase brands?

It would make sense to open up and put all our spending on those for a couple months to get signup bonuses. Is there anything even worth looking at, or should I just use my Sapphire Preferred card for everything and use those points? Thanks.

Hey, Charlie. I am from the great state of Arkansas. You know, I've been a supporter of you for a while, so it's exciting talking with you.

As you know, Senator Cotton, Bozeman are – my representatives for Arkansas. And I mean, starting out, I was a huge Cotton supporter. I had a lot of faith in him. Since then, he's voted what I feel like is against Make America Great Again. And I've just, I have tried contacting him and Bozeman. And at first they would respond. Now they quit responding to me.

But there's just been numerous things that I've had a problem with them. And I just want to know, how do you feel about Senator Cotton and Bozeman, for that matter, at this point where we're at right now?

My name's Cody. I sell roofs to people. We did 140 million last year. Trying to do 250 million this year. Trying to figure out how to follow the principle of giving away more guarantees and bonuses when I have such high hard costs and such a high ticket item.

10 to 15.

I actually just sold my roofing business and now we're part of a PE firm that, that now I'm directing that, that entire.

Eight.

About three, four years. I just got acquired 30 days or we just closed 30 days ago and now they're trying to roll everything into my brand and I'm. Yeah.

So how do I follow the principle of give away more value, make the offer so good? You got to feel dumb saying no when I have such high hard costs. I can't really do a money back guarantee. I can't really give away more than a roof.

In my theory, yes, because if I create a good enough offer, then I could roll that offer out to the other eight other brands, and that would be the biggest amount of leverage that I could deliver in the shortest amount of time.

That's why they acquired us, because we're retail.

Correct. And what they want us to do is bring the retail model to the other brands and add another layer as we sell everything 100% virtually. So no in-home appointments. It's all, you know, digital. And so that's what they, that's the vision is taking that, you know, nationwide.

Okay.

Yeah. Thanks a lot, Alex. Yeah, you bet. My name's Cody. I sell roofs to people. We did $140 million last year. Trying to do $250 million this year. Trying to figure out how to follow the principle of giving away more guarantees and bonuses when I have such high hard costs and such a high ticket item.

10 to 15.

Well, I actually just sold my roofing business and now we're part of a PE firm that, that now I'm directing that, that entire.

About three, four years. I just got acquired 30 days, or we just closed 30 days ago, and now they're trying to roll everything into my brand, and I'm... Chaos.

So how do I follow the principle of give away more value, make the offer so good it's... Yeah. You got to feel dumb saying no when I have such high hard costs. I can't really do a money-back guarantee. I can't really... giveaway more than a roof.

In my theory, yes, because if I create a good enough offer, then I could roll that offer out to the other eight other brands, and that would be the biggest amount of leverage I could deliver in the shortest amount of time.

That's why they acquired us, because we're retail.

Correct. And what they want us to do is bring the retail model to the other brands and add another layer as we sell everything 100% virtually. So no in-home appointments. It's all digital. And so that's the vision is taking that nationwide.

That was part of the acquisition deal. That's the only way I did the acquisition is that they were going to give me full control and centralize the sales.

My name's Cody. I sell roofs to people. We did $140 million last year. Trying to do $250 million this year. Trying to figure out how to follow the principle of giving away more guarantees and bonuses when I have such high hard costs and such a high ticket item.

10 to 15.

Well, I actually just sold my roofing business and now we're part of a PE firm that now I'm directing that entire.

Eight.

About three, four years. I just got acquired 30 days, or we just closed 30 days ago, and now they're trying to roll everything into my brand, and I'm spearhead.

So how do I follow the principle of give away more value, make the offer so good, you've got to feel dumb saying no. When I have such high hard costs, I can't really do a money-back guarantee. I can't really...

giveaway more than a you know a roof well the question is is that the constraint like is that the thing that's limiting the growth of the business in my theory yes because if i create a good enough offer then i could roll that offer out to the other eight other brands and that would be the biggest amount of leverage i could deliver you know in the shortest amount of time and is everyone insurance based well that's why they acquired us because we're retail and so you're the only guy selling just new roofs everyone else is doing storm chasing and damage repair and shit like that

Correct. And what they want us to do is bring the retail model to the other brands and add another layers. We sell everything 100 percent virtually. So no in-home appointments. It's all digital. And so that's what they that's the vision is taking that nationwide centralized sales virtually.

29.

That was part of the acquisition deal. That's the only way I did the acquisition, is if they were going to give me full control and centralize all the sales.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Yeah.

$6,000.

We actually had an entire argument about this in the car.

Dude, it was late. What did I say?

And I was just like... I got to the point where he said it, and I was like, okay, why? You need to explain that. Why is this character using this specific thing? I think exactly what I said was, that's fine, but if we do it, you need to explain why.

Which just, there was no standard horse breed being ridden by Pinkertons.

true and also yeah we could we could have a discussion i think this is where your proclivity to write novels is creeping probably yes yeah this is why i will probably enjoy writing novels more than i will enjoy writing screenplays here's the thing is you know you'll write the books and then i'll write the screenplays of the books and it'll all work out who's gonna write the erotic spinoff

No, actually, yeah, no. Good point, Gabby. Yeah. Gabby Bell, if you're watching this, you're in charge of writing the Fifty Shades of Grey to our cowboy movie.

Oh, yeah. I mean, I guess that's just Brokeback Mountain now that I'm thinking about it.

Brokeback Mountain 2, Saskette Boogaloo.

Yeah, we're on the way there, and I'm like, you know what would be sick? A movie about some Pinkertons hunting outlaws who get attacked by Bigfoot. And then we ran with it, and it got way more convoluted.

There's about 10 to 15 minutes of footage that could have been included. Additionally, on top of everything.

Yeah, it was like, how do we make all of this make sense? Because we needed to explain why the Pinkertons were called in instead of the U.S. Marshals. Realistically, the reason is I just wanted a movie about Pinkertons.

It actually ended up being a really cool concept once we were finished with it. But I got to look something up really quickly.

Give me one second. I will answer that.

I just really quickly wanted to get one thing. We just said the audience will not accept that they just hired the Pinkertons instead of the U.S. Marshals. And then it occurred to me that... The Rise of Skywalker made $1.077 billion, and the entire plot was based upon the line, somehow, Palpatine returned. So I guess it turns out you don't need to explain anything.

Yeah, so what we need to do is get Disney on board. Yeah, I feel like Disney does enjoy touching my stuff, but that's not the point.

I feel like me trying to write films for Disney would be my own personal hell.

Yeah. I want to write a story where somebody barbecues Mickey Mouse. I think you can do that now. I can do that now. Yeah, it's in the public domain. We can write a story where Mickey Mouse gets barbecued.

OK, yeah. There was most of what I was thinking is stuff we shot on the way out on Polly. Or on the way like into the woods.

Yeah, see? Yeah, so Polly Melton, though. I don't know. It's... Again, I see no motivation for this woman to disappear. She is 58 years old. She is on her third marriage. Her father is not far off from dying, nor is really her husband. She has a sister who she cares about and seems to love. So she's kind of living the life, too.

She spends her winters in Florida, and she spends her summers at this campground near the Great Smokies. From everybody's... From what everybody says who knew the woman, she really loved her life as it was. You know, Juanita Baldwin, in her book, she... Which, again, like... Yeah, she ended up getting the Robert Simpson thing right. That was real.

But she never sourced it, which is why I didn't believe her. And I only believed her after I saw this... After I got this email. But... One of the things Juanita said, and to Juanita's credit, while she did not do a good job of explaining what her sources were, it seems like she probably did interview some people.

Like, she did go and try and talk to people, so she might have gotten some first-hand knowledge that other people didn't have, but one of the things she said that, once again, had no actual source to it was that there was a man at church that had been flirting with Polly, and maybe she was... Running off with him. But from what I understand, nobody else in the area strangely disappeared.

Some parts that didn't make the final, which is fine. I just, that's what I mean is like, there's material that we did not include.

Which would suggest that whoever she ran off with was somebody who wasn't from the area. In which case, where did she meet this person and where did she go? And why? Also, I mean, based on the pictures of her we found, she wasn't like... This wasn't a, you know, 50 is the new 40 kind of deal. She looked old. She looked like a grandma.

Um, I look at her and I think about the fact that my mother is also 57 now, or at least about to turn. She's either about to turn 57 or she is 57. Wait, she's turning 58.

That video is, I think now our second longest cause Donner party is still longer.

She was born in 68. It's 24. So she's about to turn 58. Right? Because 60 years ago... No, yeah, 56. You're right. I'm just bad at math. Am I? Wait, am I bad at math? I'm waiting for the comment to show up. It's 1981. She was 58. Okay, anyway, point is, my mother is around the same age and does not look nearly as old as this woman.

Was my point that I was trying to get to. Like, this woman looks 20 years older than my mother. And yet she was the same age. So, like I said, as we passed another older woman on the trail, if you're doing human trafficking, 57-year-old women who look like they're 75 aren't really in vogue.

That was beautiful. She was really chill about it too.

Oh no. Yeah. That woman, somebody like on the video is like, it's crazy how you guys passed like an actual 57 year old woman. It's like, no, that woman was in her seventies. Yeah. This is what I mean is Polly looked like she was in her seventies. The way people in their seventies look today.

Yeah, we are. You know, I'll admit I'm a little more worried about it now, but the plan is still to do the Donner Party trail next year. And I'm hoping that that'll be cool enough that that it does better because this video did not do as well as we had anticipated. Yeah, that's fine.

Yeah, I mean, definitely. Also, smoking a lot less.

I think that is a huge part of why people look younger now. We don't smoke nearly as much. And also, there's no smoking in bars. There's no smoking in hotels. There's no smoking within 20 feet of a lot of buildings.

Well, it's crazy to think about, because, like, you look at, like, Philly on a hazy day, and it's like, ah, it's a little misty over there, but I can still see everything. And then you go and you look up pictures of Philly in the 70s, and it's a cloud.

It's like a brown cloud. Yeah, no wonder everybody of a certain age is dying of cancer.

Yeah, I mean, I do wonder what the microplastics will do to our generation.

That's what they thought about lead. They were right. Yeah, but then it also gave people cancer.

There we go. Got the microplastics in my bloodstream. Hell yeah, brother. But no, so with Polly, I look at it, and she doesn't seem like she would have been a trafficking victim. I just don't see it. If it's somebody kidnapped her and it was somebody she knew, there certainly weren't any suspects. I mean... And again, why kidnap a 58-year-old woman? She didn't have money.

There was no ransom demanded. All the reasons somebody would kidnap someone weren't met. One person asked, well, why did you consider a serial killer? At first, yeah, but there were no other victims in the area at that time. Because what you have to understand with serial killers is very rarely are they opportunists.

it happens, but if they are opportunistic, it's usually like, for example, uh, I was thinking about doing a video on the guy, but there just wasn't enough information. Uh, I think it's like the I 70, some I 70 something killer. Um, Guy like same guy. They had a whole like several witness descriptions of this person. I went in to little strip mall stores along this interstate.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Absolutely not making any of that money back. But we did get to experience some stuff. Financially, a bit of an L. But in terms of our work, I feel like we definitely learned a lot being down there. I'm a lot more confident with my conclusions on the cases from the Smokies. And I gotta say, having been down there, there's no mystery for most of them.

I think it was I-70, but I might be wrong, but goes into these little strip mall stores along the interstate and with a .22 caliber handgun, shoots a woman, and leaves. And it happens like six times across like a one and a half, like a one month span. It's like really, really tight. There were a few other ones that people thought might have been him, but nobody knows for sure.

But every single time, with I think one exception, it was a woman with long hair who worked at a store. The one exception was a guy who was shot, they think, from behind because he had long hair and a ponytail and might have looked like a woman. So you've got all of these matching things. It's opportunist. He's not stalking these people.

He's stopping into random strip malls, and if somebody matches his victim profile, he kills them. It's an opportunistic killer who is still has a niche of who he goes after.

Yeah. And in this case, yeah, we do have multiple people who disappear in the park. what's the likelihood that the same person is behind Polly Melton's disappearance on a well-paved trail down at the south end of the park in North Carolina, and then also responsible for the disappearance of a 16-year-old girl at the top of the park, the literal highest point in the park,

five years earlier, in a completely different kind of area. I mean, these are much more rugged trails, much more rugged terrain. It's much harder to get out of Clingman's Dome in a car, even on foot, because you've got a lot more distance to travel. And that would be, like, the only one that compares, because, yeah, there's other cases during this time period, but we were able to generally...

figure out what happened to almost all of them it's really just Polly Trenny and Dennis who who can't be accounted for and I mean seven-year-old boy 16-year-old girl 58-year-old woman what's the connective tissue very little if anything So it's it just seems very unlikely that the same person is responsible for all of these.

And then again, we have the confounding details of like dogs weren't able to track Polly at all. Like at one point they thought they might attract her a little bit, but it led to a dead end. Trenny dogs tractor up across and down to a road. Dennis, they have no idea. So, I just don't see a connection.

And in order for it to be a serial killer, there almost has to be a connection between these people. Or at least, you know, similarities. So, I don't know. I don't see it.

Thank you, sir. We had him on last week. It was great fun. Great conversation. Go check his stuff out.

Oh, if I'm not mistaken, what he's talking about, there are a few references and artistic depictions to there being what appears to be, like, multiple suns in the sky. Or a bunch of, like, glowing lights in the sky.

It's one of the, it's often considered to be, by UFO enthusiasts, an early depiction of, or a medieval depiction of UFOs. What are you looking at?

Okay.

But yeah, so that's, I can, yeah, I'll probably look into it. I think that'll be a fun, like, UFO sightings through history.

Yeah, I mean, it's, most of what gets talked about is Roswell on.

So, you know, examples of what people believe used to be UFOs.

Somebody did ask if I was going to look at that, and I'm like, I don't know. I'm not usually a UFO person. Then again, Ashton Forbes isn't a VFX person, and he has opinions, so. Yeah, and it fits. He'd be so mad if I started doing UFO content and it did well. He'd be so mad. That's a good enough reason to do it. Okay, you guys win. I'm doing it.

So Dennis is weird for different reasons. It's not weird that Dennis got lost. It's not weird that Dennis wasn't found. Yeah, because he was a seven-year-old. It's weird that the FBI intercepted Harold Key and told him, hey, do not tell anybody what you actually saw. And then he changed his story completely from what he had told the papers. That's weird. Like... So yes, suspicious...

which sucks because that's not as fun. But I am excited. We're going to have Nick from Missing Enigma on next week to talk about Dennis Martin and also Jordan Grider because we got interested in Jordan Grider because of him.

But not in a how did this person disappear kind of way. I think inside of the park, it's probably Polly. Because again, you were there with me. I don't know how somebody could get lost there. You have to, you almost have to have intentionally walked away.

And also, you know, there were some people in the comments who were saying, oh, well, that area was a little bit more wild in the 80s. Yeah, but the contemporary reports describe it as being very similar to how it is today. So was it probably a little bit less manicured? Yeah. Yeah. Did it seem like people at the time understood how you could go missing there? No, they did not.

They were like, what happened? How do you disappear? And all I can think of is that she deliberately went off trail or took a different trail, and then the question is why? And I don't have a good answer for that. So I think Polly remains one of the more mysterious ones. Trenny is... Trennies is weird.

I feel like it's impossible to say what actually happened, but it's more because there are several likely possibilities that seem kind of equally possible to one another. As far as overall, Michael Reel. I, it might be that there's just a piece of information. Like if you were to come out and be like, oh, well, I just, you know, I was up at the road at engine gardens at first.

And then I walked down along the road. And before I got to my campsite, I walked off into the woods and that's how I ended up where, where I was found. If I sat down and he told me that, I'd be like, oh, okay. That probably makes sense then. You know, you were cited at the road at Ender Gardens, you took a wrong turn, and you ended up down there. Got it. Cool.

But he didn't say that in the interview. he explained a whole lot of other stuff, but it was never explained how he was at the Rhododendron gardens and then didn't make it back. Cause he even says at one point in the interview, he's like, you know, that he could see where his campsite was. He just couldn't get there. And I'm like, how, why, why not? Um, so that one's definitely weird.

And he did some interviews with Michael Bouchard, who was kind of the chief, not chief investigator, but the guy who was doing the work on Dennis Martin over the last couple of decades, who's written a couple of books on it. So we're going to have him on to talk about that.

Uh, as far as the least suspicious though, I think Hanson, Really? Actually, no, I'm going to take that back and I'm going to say Jeff.

Yeah, because with Haig, we know about the fight. So we know there was motivation for him to go a different way. With Hansen, we don't know how much of it has been Fish's fault. Because Fish is the only one who made it back. So he's saying, oh, yeah, you know, like, I offered to stop at the one shelter. I offered to go back to the other shelter. And, you know, Mark wanted to press on.

He could be right. Mark could have just not wanted to seem weak and insisted upon pressing on further and further. Or it could have been that Ben was like, no, no, we can make it. You know, our friends are going to be waiting for us. We got to get there. And he got him into a situation like what we had when we were half a mile from the Spence Field shelter, where it was dark.

Like, had we been several miles away, that would not have been a safe or smart thing to do. It would have been better for us to, you know, hunker down in the woods and hope for the best. So... I don't know. With Hansen, I think chances are it's very explainable. It's not suspicious at all, and it was just bad decision-making. But there is the possibility that that's not what it was.

That it could have been something more sinister. So I think, yeah, looking at everything, Haig is probably the least mysterious. Although an honorable mention would be Evangeline Lorimer. Because... What were you doing?

Every once in a while, you got to remember that it could just be that the missing person is weird.

Yeah. We're just like, oh yeah, this person was just odd. Like, if you told me that somebody disappeared after they went on a horse trail, but they brought a hobby horse instead of a real one, I'd be like, I am not shocked. This was weird from the jump. This didn't make sense from the get-go. Like, I don't know how it would necessarily be connected with what happened, but I would not be shocked.

But I think, you know, what I wanted to use today's episode for was just kind of recap what we did down there and also answer questions, which I've seen a number of them flood in. So honestly, I'm fine with this being more of a Q&A stream than anything. If you want to just start diving into it.

Yeah, in this case, I think we need Hanlon's shaving kit.

We should need a line of shaving kits.

Should we talk to Manscaped? We should talk to Manscaped. Maybe they'll give us some facial stuff instead of other stuff.

What? Anyway, moving on. Listen, I recovered from a really almost bad thing that I said, so it's okay.

Oh, yeah, we are some thirsty boys. Actually, no, we're not. I am. What the hell is wrong with you? Me? This man drank less than two liters of water on our way up to the Spencefield Trail Shelter. It was a six-mile hike covering over 3,000 feet of elevation gain, and he drank less than two liters of water. He drank like a liter of water.

So... No, I don't drink a ton of water at home. But when I am out in the world, I am chugging that stuff.

What? Because it's bubbly? I don't get hydrated? I think it's the coffee.

But, you know, is there anything, I guess, first before we run into the question section, you know, anything particular that stuck out to you while we were down there?

I just drink a lot of coffee and alcohol and my tummy don't like that.

No.

This is the microbiome. I am the macrobiome. The microbiome listens to the macrobiome. Apparently not. No, it does not like to do that at all. It's been quite angry with me recently.

Thank you. Legwork is certainly the right way to put it. Oh, my God. That is the right term.

we could not walk. We got to a point where we like my, it felt like if I walked any further, my right quadricep was actually just going to tear itself in half.

Yeah, I'm just going to have to bring my cane on all my hikes. It's actually really cool. It's got a little Grand Lodge of Tennessee flag and American flag next to each other. Um, so our grand lodge of Tennessee, uh, but I don't know what like medallion almost that's set into the handle. So it's really cool. Um, was very grateful for that one.

Looking forward to showing up the next meeting, just dripped out to the nines or is me like, why does the second youngest member of our lodge have a cane? And I'm going to be like, because I'm cool like that, I guess. We also thought about starting up a house parody about our cases, wherein I just am Dr. House, but it's missing 411.

For those of you who are not aware, we are launching a new history-focused show with Stephen Bell from History of Everything and Roman Helmet Guy. It is... First of all, we were able to... We have a lot of interest from guests. Like, Steven was able to just... go above and beyond with finding potential guests. We have a few really cool people lined up.

Um, but more importantly, it's basically take unsubscribe and make it about history. It was the same kind of thing. And it's a lot of Steven and I just arguing with each other about things. Uh, and then immediately gushing over Harold Hordrada. Uh, it's going to be a good time. I'm really excited about it.

Also, Roman Helmiguy has some really cool books. I'm going to go grab them really quick. Go grab them. Go grab them indeed.

So I do too. You would know more though.

I'm wondering if you and I are on the same page. Yep. Because I think we might be. So, yeah, but I really want to whip these out because... Which camera? That one? There we go. Ah.

Uh, so this is the pirates book. Yes. And this is the first crusade book. Now they look very similar. They're very pretty, very nice leather, leather bound, hard covers. Um, these are not books that are, you know, written on a topic. This is not Roman helmet guy sat down and wrote a book about pirates. What this is, is a collection of,

of stories about pirates written by Captain Charles Johnston, who Captain Charles Johnston is a pseudonym, it's not a real person, but was probably a member of the pirate world who was writing about these things from personal experience. This book has been out of print. There are no recent modern copies of this book. And similarly, with the Crusade book, it's the first Crusade,

This book contains nearly every single firsthand account of the most pivotal event of the Middle Ages. Within these pages, knights, peasants, priests, and a princess describe in intimate and often conflicting detail the harrowing journey, brutal battles, bitter infighting, and divine revelations that gave birth to an era.

So, once again, firsthand accounts that have been out of consumer print for decades. decades and decades in some cases hundreds of years so really cool not just as you know a fun read but also if you are into history be it as an academic or as a amateur enthusiast fantastic resources. Right now, they're only available through Roman Helmet Guy's TikTok shop.

We'll probably be offering them on our TikTok shop as well. But as things get up and running, we're looking to offer these through YouTube and possibly also help get set up with a website. So that is something to be aware of. I just, again, would highly recommend going and picking one of these up and giving it a read.

Also, if you've got anybody who's into history in your life, perfect time to get it for them for Christmas.

And I do want to say also, this was not a paid endorsement of these books. He did not ask us to do this. It was just, they're good books. It's a cool thing. I love my primary sources, so I am psyched to have these.

So, uh, but yeah, so the, the hydrogen thing, the conspiracy.

So what's the difference between hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen engines?

Yeah. I mean, with Jeff, it was like looking at the map, you're kind of like, how do you mess this up? But then once you're out there and you're hiking and you've gone downhill for half a mile and you're, and you see that it's starting to go back uphill and

That's why we decaffeinate coffee, by the way.

Yeah. Osmosis. Interesting. You put coffee beans into water and then some of the caffeine leaches out into the water and then you put coffee beans into more uncaffeinated water and just over and over and over, which is why your decaf coffee tastes weird and moldy.

Yeah, and I'm in the same boat. I don't see... Like, is it possible that there are government agencies and government bureaucrats and politicians that are going to try and find a way to suppress it? Yes. Why? Probably not the government. It's not like a national security thing or a control thing, a power thing. It's that oil companies... essentially can own politicians lobby.

I mean, really lobbyists of any kind can own politicians. So the oil company, the renewable energy lobby, the, even the nuclear industry probably aren't going to be super excited about hydrogen fuel cells. I think the most at risk though is, is the oil lobby because cars right now run on fossil fuels.

Even if you have an electric car, it is likely being charged by fossil fuels, by a coal plant, by an oil plant, by a natural gas plant. So I think that I, you know, If there is suppression going on, it is the oil industry funding studies that are anti-hydrogen energy. It is the oil lobbies, you know, basically funding candidates who are going to be anti-hydrogen energy.

And you're probably going to see something a lot like what happened with Tesla, where he's basically just shoved to the side because the people who are in charge of the industry have that kind of power. I don't think it's a government-oriented conspiracy.

It's just the oil companies not wanting to give it up, which is why my idea with how to handle oil companies was give them a few years of unfettered access to what they want and then take all the tax revenue, or not even take all the tax revenue, just be like, all right, use the extra money for R&D because five years from now, you got to go nuclear.

You're like, oh, I can see how if you were really tired, especially after, you know... I can only imagine if we had left Spence Field and headed half a mile down that hill, only to realize we were going to have to go back up and we were going the wrong way, I too would have been like, oh, can't I just take a shortcut?

Basically be like, you don't get to be solely an oil company anymore. You must start building generators. So that's, you know, that's my feeling about it. But I don't think that there's some high-level government conspiracy to stop you from a hydrogen engine because it just doesn't make sense, you know? It doesn't make sense that that would originate with people who are power-hungry in government.

What are you doing?

It does. It sounded quite crisp, I will say. Yeah. Maybe that's what we should do from now on.

Well, here, listen. So we, we keep talking about the, the ranch in Wyoming or Montana, right?

And you keep talking about how you want water.

Like boat, boat level water. I think you should be okay with the fact that it's within a four hour drive. Um, You have different thoughts. I get it. But the only reason that we haven't considered Utah is that the Mormons are already there. But if we have a fleet of 18th century warships, I think we stand a chance of shelling Salt Lake City and driving the Mormons out.

Unevaporated. How? Unchange the climate.

I think that'd be badass. We take our captured Mormon slaves, and we send them to Lake Tahoe, and we have them steal the Californians' water.

How are we supposed to raise cattle in Maine?

Yeah, so, I mean... I get it. I can see how you put yourself in that position and you're exhausted enough that a shortcut seems like a good idea. And then you get out there and it's impossible to really put into words how treacherous that terrain can be. Because there will be spots where it's just, you know, you're walking along and suddenly there's a cliff on your left.

That's a good point. The land's probably so expensive, though. Also, I don't like their laws. If our community's big enough. Here's the thing. There's not enough people in Wyoming to tell me what kind of guns I can and can't have.

We'll consider it.

We'll consider it.

Lobsters. Fresh lobster. See, that's the problem with Maine, though, is you're very close to Massachusetts.

So what I'm hearing is that we need to capture New Jersey first.

Not the Founding Fathers, but the Daddies of Dominion, perhaps. That could work.

Yep. Not Mormon slavery. We just breezed by that one.

They fought the, I think, not the Comanche, the Paiute? No, the Ute? One of the tribes. They had a war with one of the tribes over slavery. They were on the anti-slavery side. You know what's wild? What?

What do you think the response would be if you sailed a fleet of ships of the line into Boston Harbor? Do you think it'd be like, Oh God, not again.

We'd have to have rural Britannia blasting. All right. So we've got to partner with JPL to get the world's biggest Bluetooth speaker.

I think we got to do it the right way. It's got to be muskets. So you want to lose. It's Massachusetts.

Have you seen their gun laws?

False flag event?

Okay, I'm not even going to entertain that one. Go to the next question.

Yeah, we had one of the episodes, just to give you... The context. One of the episodes began with the question, was the British Empire justified? But we decided that was too broad and also too easy to answer. Because in many cases, no. But not all?

And then we had a discussion about whether or not the British Empire was justified in the way in which it ruled the American colonies, and if the colonists were justified in having a revolution. And then Stephen got very upset when I whipped out the notebook and started going through all of the many different taxes. So that'll be a good episode. Specifically, hey, hey, that's cheating! Yep.

And I was like, we did not establish rules. There were no rules established here. I just happened to take a master's course on this and you didn't. Yep.

Wait till you see the drunk folklore episode. Yeah. That one's that one coming out.

Cause it can also serve as hype.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think we should get it put up and also release some regular clips on the actual History Hut channel.

It's not History Hut. History Unhinged.

Yeah, YouTube does not like this computer.

They're wasps that are as wasp as it gets, too. Like they have this tiny little, you know, the fourth part of their body where their head and their eyes and their stomachs and all that. And there's just this like long little connective piece and a stinger that is the size of the rest of their body.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm trying to decide if I'll feel nice and safe and secure going down there with my .45, or if I might want to also bring the pew-pew, the big pew-pew, like an armored truck.

Chester's not a safe place, guys.

Chester's a terrible place.

So, guys, if we go missing, it's probably not going to be in a national park. It'll be in Chester, Pennsylvania.

Swear to God, Aiden. Which car are we taking?

Okay. Okay, we can do that.

Yeah. I was like, we're not driving a black Camaro into Chester.

Yeah. We're taking the beat up old Jeep Wrangler that they won't even want hubcaps from.

You guys didn't hear it, but he just did the 5, 4, 3, 2 thing. So for those of you who were born at a very specific time... I have the stream. I just come onto the stream on my phone to type into the chat and say we were coming. For what? So my voice is now playing from my pocket.

Maybe we need to go back to New Orleans. Maybe we need to go back to New Orleans. I will not be eating the gumbo.

No, I'm... I know it wasn't the gumbo that made me sick, but... I was not doing well down there.

I was... The worst part was because I was so sick that one day I couldn't work, so I had to miss out on all of the tourism. I did nothing in New Orleans but work. You guys did spend a day down there just walking around and shopping, though.

I guess it wasn't like... Really?

I... Both of them, America lost, though. Did you hear that, though? The RuPaul? Yeah. Yeah, I caught it.

I know. But, yeah, out there, you look at a map and you look at pictures and And then you go. And with Trenny, Trenny being a great example on the map, it really does look like, you know, you go off that it's almost impossible to get off of this trail. And that's how it's even described. They're like, I have no idea where she would have even gone off.

I didn't watch any of it.

vaguely like in the background it was like briefly suggested and then they took it nowhere yeah because i think ryan johnson forgot that like he was writing the middle movie of the trilogy and he did not coordinate with jj abrams it amazes me how one man completely derailed an entire trilogy well to be fair the first movie was mediocre as it was

Yeah. And then it just, I don't know what the thought process was there.

I know. I mean, from Disney's end.

Yeah. If they'd been like, Hey Ryan, you need the story to at least make sense with JJ's plot.

Cause you can't just suddenly write a new movie. that doesn't have anything to do with the other movie.

Also force ghost Luke was the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

Like everything about the sequel trilogy is just, Hey, remember all those things you loved about original star Wars?

Yep.

nope Jedi in fact it would have made a lot of sense yep would have made a ton of sense but no we had to get weird like not like force incest love story that culminates in the only cool villain in the sequel trilogy dying yep I really hate Rian Johnson I don't care that he directed Knives Out and that it was a decent film. I don't care that he directed an episode of Breaking Bad.

Especially because that episode of Breaking Bad took place entirely within the meth lab. Was it the fly episode? Yeah, it was the fly episode. Which, like, we should have known. That entire episode did not need to, it could have been a scene.

All of the, you know, like, all of the symbolism and metaphor and intrigue that took place in that hour of television that didn't advance the rest of the plot of the story at all could have been covered in ten minutes. In fact, it happens in numerous other episodes of Breaking Bad where they like they managed to fit the exact because Vince Gilligan created something really cool like that show.

And it's like the search didn't start for about an hour or two after she was last seen. she didn't need to still be in the woods. If somebody hurt her or if she ran off on purpose, there was a way to do it. Um, which of course, you know, the, the park service isn't going to assume that they're going to exhaust every option.

I'm watching. We're watching it through. This is my second time through. The number of moving parts and how everything ties together and some of the deeper symbolism, the way that they tell the stories about how Walt and Jesse and everybody are feeling about things, and they do it in a symbolic and veiled way without hitting you in the face. it's incredible.

Like I didn't get it the first time I watched it through. I was like, I mean, the first season was brutally slow to get through on your first watch. And I think, you know, it probably benefited from network TV being one episode a week. We're starting to see shows are much more fast paced. Now that streaming is a thing that, you know, you have shows dropping 10 episodes at a time.

They're written more like long movies than they are TV shows. Back when you had network TV? Different. And Breaking Bad, it's a masterpiece. It is a masterpiece of a show. The only thing that I don't like about it is that, like Beth on Yellowstone, Skylar is just an unbelievably unlikable character. She's not as bad as Beth, but she is unbelievably unlikable and irredeemable.

There's nothing good about this woman.

Yeah.

Yeah. You know, I think, and I will say, like, I think that the way they invert things, because at the very beginning, Dean Norris' character, Hank, is awful. Just bad person. Like, he's, you know... He's not unfaithful to his wife, but he's not... He doesn't exactly keep his eyes on the prize. He is rude. He is abrasive. He sees being in law enforcement as giving him the right to be a bully.

And as the show progresses on and on, you see him not necessarily be redeemed. He doesn't go through a massive change. He's still an asshole. But he comes around. And you start to see that at his core... This guy is doing it for the right reasons. He was a warrior without a fight. Exactly. And then he's given a fight, and he takes that fight to the end.

Walt, on the other hand, good guy, has never done anything wrong. His wife cheats on him. Skyler cheated on him before the show even starts. And also, if you consider that a spoiler, it ended in 2013. Wow. I was in high school. I am a grown man who runs a business. You've had time. I'm not going to lie.

What? Skylar cheating? Yeah. No, so, I mean, it's just terrible. But, yeah, Walt starts off, you know, impeccable character. And then by the end of the show, you're like, God, will somebody kill this man?

Jesse is, oh my God, my favorite character of the show by far. And somehow, Rian Johnson managed to direct the single worst episode of the series. I want more TV shows to hire Rian Johnson to direct one episode of Because I think if you have a good body of that, it's easy to see that he's the worst writer in modern Hollywood.

I think The Expendables, just the one first Expendables movie, is a cinematic masterpiece compared to anything Rian Johnson has ever produced.

And I think what you end up with is in cases where nothing at all is found, um, the idea of an intentional disappearance has to be considered because, again, from where she was, if she had gone up the Forney Creek Trail, for example, she could have gotten herself way out of there real quick.

They fly away in a helicopter from that island, and Sylvester Stallone's character is sad because of the girl, and I think it's Jason Statham's character is like, ah, she wasn't your type anyway, and then they just fly off into the distance, and it's like, you know what? That line alone, that moment is better than anything Rian Johnson's ever directed.

It might have been the C-130. I can't remember. I think it was a helicopter, but... It's been like 10 years since I saw the movie.

Yeah, we should go watch Expendables again. That's what we should do.

Um, yeah, I mean, but honestly, I think weird Bible is an awesome, an awesome resource. It's why we created it. Uh, if, if you're trying to get back into it, I think that's a good place to start. I would also suggest, you know, uh, look around your local community. If you can find, um, a group, you know, I think that it's probably best to find a

to start um because when it comes it with christianity faith is such an extremely personal thing and it helps to be able because it does have different roles for men and women it is helpful to experience it with a group of people who share that role So if you are a young single man, probably your best Bible study group is going to be other young single men.

She could have waited for her way to pass and then headed back down because there's a number of different places you can go from the Andrews Bald Trail, especially if you're just working your way down the mountainside. Had she gotten behind her entire class and then just skirted around and up onto the AT... Yeah, makes sense.

Yep. Yeah, I agree. Amanda's suggestion was I read the Lee Strobel books, The Case for a Creator and The Case for Christ and Case for Faith. I would also say Heiser. Heiser stuff is really accessible and it'll make you want to read the Bible.

Okay.

Yes. Sorry, something weird pop up on my phone. All good. Yeah, I agree. I think, you know, the storytelling angle can really pull you into it.

Yeah, the whole goal here is entertain. Yeah. And inform. Educate to an extent, yeah. Infotainment, you might say.

And termation. What do you do for a living? Infotainment? I infotain. Yeah. What do you do for a living? Bigfoot. What? What? No, his daughter. Come on. Incredible. There was a whole lawsuit about it, okay? There was. When are we going to get an update on that lawsuit? I don't know. Next time Morgan and Morgan wants to pay us, probably.

You know, the one thing that I didn't really get into in the video is the scent trails. But then again, dogs can be wrong.

Yeah, no, Bigfoot suing us for personal injury.

Yeah, that's the problem. Like, the noises of the forest were not there.

It was really creepy.

It was, it's, and that's the thing is like when you need to be concerned is when a loud forest goes quiet, not just whenever the forest is quiet. Yes. That's when, that's when something's not right. If the forest itself is just quiet, the forest itself is just quiet. This was like unsettlingly quiet.

If we were not talking, there was not another sound outside of the wind and maybe a bird somewhere.

No rustling of the trees, just dead. And I mean, that's the other thing is like we were we were deep in there. We did not see wildlife.

I mean, we were miles into the park and we did not see deer. We did not see squirrels. I think we saw we saw like one squirrel.

Oddly enough, we saw bears, but they were near the tourist areas. Yeah, they were way less deep into the park. They were chilling.

Faith was saying when we were all in Gatlinburg, and this was before we pulled in, there was a bear walking down the road. Yeah.

I did see a comment somewhere today where somebody was like, you know, it's actually a misunderstanding that black bears are less dangerous than grizzly bears. More people are attacked by black bears. And I was like, people are attacked by black bears more frequently, right? But encounters with black bears are less frequently negative than encounters with grizzly bears.

And people are not smart about it. When people see a grizzly bear, they don't approach the grizzly bear. People will get close to a black bear to take pictures of it. People will offer it food. People are like, oh, look at the cubs. Black bears live near people far more frequently than grizzly bears do. They are a much more wild species.

So it's one of those things where it's like, you know, ice cream causes drowning. But no, there's more people at the beach when it's hot and people eat ice cream when it's hot.

They're a great tool. They've found a lot of people, but... They're not always spot on. And, you know, if we talked about like, you know, the the idea that maybe this Robert Simpson guy did something to her, that he chased her or that I, you know, that he murdered her. I the dogs trailed her up. to the Appalachian trail and then down a ways.

It's like if you see a black bear out in the woods and you don't approach it unless it's desperate for some reason, it's not going to come near you.

If you see a grizzly bear, however, and you make eye contact with it, it might just decide it hates you.

You are not prey to a black bear. You are prey to a grizzly bear.

You might be a nuisance to a black bear. You are prey to a grizzly bear.

Yeah.

What is the smallest state in the Union? It's got to be Rhode Island, right? By population.

Rhode Island's dense. It's Wyoming.

Population overall. Really? What's next? I don't have a list. Okay. Vermont. Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota, and you're never going to believe this, South Dakota.

So here's the thing. Wyoming has a total, an estimated 584,057 people. The Lore Lodge has 579,329 people. So currently... Currently, we are only 584057 minus 579329. We are only 4,728 subscribers away from having a larger population in the Lodge than the state of Wyoming.

Yeah, it would be horrible. Yeah, it would be the worst. So California is about 39 million people.

Yeah, but still a lot. Yeah, yeah, definitely a lot. And that's only the... There's probably more.

And then if I remember correctly, it basically was like East along the trail and then South to the road. And then she disappears. So I think, you know, I wish I had thought to thought to mention that in the video, just cause I think it would have made it maybe cleared some things up as to why I was so open to the idea that she disappeared intentionally. Um,

Yeah, I... We went to Tennessee and it screwed up our entire lives.

Boy, do we have some news for you. Yeah, we've been discussing how to do this beyond just doing Trova Trip. We do Trova Trip. We have two to Montana next summer. They are both sold out already. But we're going to Yellowstone twice. And then we're going to be continuing to do that. But also... We are working on figuring out a way to do less expensive road trips on our own.

So we would basically be like, here's the itinerary. You know... it would be a lot cheaper. It would probably be bring your own tent, things like that. Um, but yeah, we're looking at doing that as a way to make those more accessible to people who can't afford the, the bigger price tag. Cause again, with Trova, you know, those things are over a thousand dollars before we even are priced in.

Like before our cut is even priced into the Trova trip, it costs well over a thousand dollars.

So, Aiden and I actually didn't make money on the Alaska one. No, not even close. It basically paid for us to go to Alaska and nothing else.

Yeah.

But yes, in that case, yes, absolutely. Yeah.

I also don't necessarily think that Robert Simpson has to not be involved that way either. He could be the one that picked her up from the road, but it seems like somebody picked her up from the road at some point, so how, why, who knows. Did she mean to disappear? I don't know. Do I think that it makes sense for her to intentionally disappear and leave all that money at home? $200 in 1976?

You will see us react to them that much is for sure. Cause I have not read them yet.

Oh boy.

As long as I can be Nicolas Cage and say I'm going to steal the USS Constitution, then I'm in.

If I am allowed to look you in the eye and go, I'm going to steal the USS Constitution.

Oh, also, just a little thing that I found very funny. You know how I get into fights with people on Twitter.

I'm only getting into fights with people who deserve it. Like, for example, this one guy has, like, his username is, like, freedomfromtyrants1776, like, founding fathers, whatever. Yeah. And he's, like, you know, talking about how the white supremacists are winning and people are starting to wake up.

Obviously, he didn't describe himself as that, but he's like, you know, everybody's starting to wake up and realize Hitler wasn't the monster we all were told. And I'm like... No, most people are still pretty much in line with the whole Hitler was a bad dude. He's like, people are waking up. We have an army of 15.7 million warriors who, and I'm like, first of all, weird number.

Where'd that come from? Second, you don't have an army. You have a bunch of basement dwelling mouth breathers who have their dad's shotgun and Like, come on, man, what are you doing?

But the reason I bring this up is, like, the people who are like, I have an army of whatever, and I'm like, bro, I will take any given seven dudes from, like, anywhere in the Appalachian mountain chain against your entire militia. Like, you're, no. No, you're done. So, my point in saying this is, in the collapse, our not-cult will be able to thrive.

Yeah.

I look out at the world and all the other people who are like, you know, it's all coming to a head. I'm like, oh, we have got this.

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. We need some doctors.

We will pay them. We won't pay them. I mean, there won't be money in the collapse.

No. Who's going to be minting dollars and cents?

That works. Quick question, because I got into a little bit of a... I received some flack for this. Aiden, Pepsi or Coke?

I don't know, but I don't know, just that case, I don't think, she's definitely not still in the park, you know? And whatever happened, it wasn't Bigfoot, it wasn't feral people. She went to a, either she went off trail and hiked up to the dome, or she hiked past the dome and then off onto the trail further and got into a car.

Because I was like, at the very least, you know, you walk into a restaurant, it doesn't matter which one you prefer. You're getting what they have.

You walk into a Wawa, for example, there's Coke, there's Pepsi.

Yeah, I think Pepsi tastes more like real sugar. Yeah, that's what it is to me. Yeah, Pepsi like Mexican Coke. Great with the real cane sugar. Pepsi to me tastes more like that as it is. Yeah, that's fair. Also, they had the world's sixth largest Navy for a hot second.

Oh, yeah. They should have gone to war with Coke.

Yeah.

That's not good.

Yeah, okay. Really? Oh yeah, 100%. All right. Good to know. Was this, like, at a paintball place? Yes. Oh, okay. So you paid. Yeah, and we played more games after that, too. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's my point, though. It was like, you know, you paid to be there.

I want to get into Airsoft again. I miss Airsoft.

It's fun. Yeah. It's really fun. I believe it. Especially because the guns are actually accurate. Yeah, that's fair.

Just really quickly off topic. Has Trump appointed a Secretary of the Interior?

Well, since Secretary of the Interior has been taken, I would like to formally announce my campaign to become Director of the National Park Service. No. If Brandon Herrera gets to ask to be ATF Director, it is only fair that I get to be Director of the National Parks. So, here are my platform points. I will pay the Rangers more money. How are you going to do that, sir?

I will cut unnecessary programs. Could you name an unnecessary program, sir? Anything that contributes to the welfare of the state of New Jersey. What are your other points, sir? We will improve the park infrastructure so that everything is as nice as the Great Smoky Mountains.

Cut spending that is unnecessary.

Anything that contributes to the welfare of the state of Massachusetts.

More Mount Rushmores.

Just Kevin. I haven't thought that one out. Do you have any final points, sir? I... Oh, no, actually, the real big one, though, like, obviously, you know, those other things are great. The Mount Rushmore thing with just random dudes named Kevin would be hilarious. Just, you know, random, just literally random guys named Kevin all over the United States would be fantastic.

But the one thing I would absolutely be doing is an utter overhaul of their websites. if I became director of the national parks, you would have the most robust websites anywhere in the government with the most information possible, beautifully laid out, really easy to search, easy to cite. And I mean like, you know, just so informative, the entire history of the park.

I would be, I would be saying we have all of these college students with history degrees who weren't doing anything. debt forgiveness. You come here, you do a dissertation on the park. We will hook you up with a PhD program. We will pay for your, your debts and then you will be good to go. It'd be like, you know, we're, we are the history of these parks. I, that's what I would do.

That's, that would be my thing would be, I would be like, we're, we're going to have the history of these parks so well explained that, I mean, you don't need to go anywhere else. But why should you? Why should I have to go elsewhere but the Park Service website to learn about the park? No, the best information should be right there. What about the native history?

Oh, yeah, no, I want to, you know, any, I want the full history of the land. So if we're talking about, God, what's a good example? Yeah, let's go with Great Smokies. Cherokee lived there. Well, where the Cherokee come from? Who was there before the Cherokee? Why did they choose that area? Why did they leave? You know, like all everything that went into it.

I would want to be part of the park's history. I would want to have park rangers on staff who are well educated in it, which means hiring rangers who are historians. as well as rangers who are forestry.

We don't, you know, make these robust, make them what they have the capacity to be, instead of, in many cases, having them just be a piece of beautiful federal land that you can go hiking in, you know? And the people who work in these places and protect them also deserve a better standard of living, which is why I like the idea of paying them better.

I thought about actually putting together some platform positions for it. I don't think it would happen, but I would love it because it would also imagine the marketing for the National Park Service. We'd just be going and doing a new video in a park each week. Be like, yeah, let's go to where Paul Fugate disappeared. Let's go back up to Denali.

Yeah, so with Bobby Simpson, it's a little bit different. I think his involvement makes sense. Looking back on it, I'm not sure that his involvement makes sense in the way that was said. I think Bobby probably was involved in her disappearance in some way. I don't know that it would have been that he deliberately kidnapped and killed her. I think maybe he helped her escape would be a possibility.

Let's, you know, go spend a week on the trail in Yosemite. Be awesome.

yeah it'd be sweet a lot of fun so i don't know i i thought about it a little bit it's mostly been a bit of a meme but uh no there are there's some depth there are definitely some things that i want to do and those would be my big three would be better pay and benefits for the rangers uh better infrastructure in the parks and better information online nice that would be my start my three main ideas nice

To the extent it's possible, you can't really make a trail wheelchair accessible.

Maybe. It would have to be... You'd have to figure out a way to do it. But I like the idea. Yeah. I just think it's one of those things that you really have to put some work into figuring out how to do it properly.

Yeah. So... You know, it would be... it would be great to figure out. I would definitely be down to like, you know, at least retrofit a trail in each park to be more accessible. But then you come into the issue of, well, you can't really build a ramp because then you're screwing with the natural wilderness. But in terms of making them as accessible as possible. Yeah, absolutely.

I cannot remember anything that happened, but I do remember liking it. Yeah, I still haven't seen it. Yeah, once we finish up Breaking Bad, we're probably going to watch that.

Is that what I think it is? I think it is. That would be a fun one. The only issue with doing folklore videos...

which is what i would call that is that they often do not do very well youtube and our followers on the whole generally do not seem to enjoy when we cover folklore anymore yeah so we're we're trying i'm trying to figure out the best way to cover these kinds of things i think but we're also seeing there might be some fatigue on the missing 411 stuff so we're we're trying to figure it out um

I had to write this week's video in two days. I succeeded.

Yeah, once we're consistently getting the numbers we need to see, honestly, really, even if we could guarantee 250,000 views per video, we'd cover anything. We would broaden out so much and cover all sorts of really cool stuff. But as it stands right now, the last few videos, we had some duds.

Yeah.

That was very kind of you, too. Yeah. I am always happy when I have the time to include one. I'm really looking forward to doing one on the Comanche.

I think, like, in H.P. Lovecraft's story? That's what I was going to say. I was like, are you saying that H.P. Lovecraft himself was a cosmic entity? You know, considering the stories he wrote, I wouldn't be shocked. That's true, yeah. I mean, I'll admit, I have not read... Beyond, I think, maybe a short story that I would have read in middle school, I don't think I've read much Lovecraft.

Cosmic horror isn't really my cup of tea as a reader. But, I mean, the whole idea of there being cosmic entities I find interesting. I don't know how it would function.

Are we the Earth's microbiome?

Well, I mean, at the end of Men in Black, aren't we, like, living inside of a marble?

Terrifying thought that each planet actually is alive or was and now we're one of the only ones that's not dead.

Yeah.

That could be a cool cosmic horror concept.

Yeah, true.

You know, we have these cigarettes that are found. He disappears for a little while too. So I think there's, there's a, there's plenty of reasons to believe that Bobby was involved. I don't know that there's plenty of reasons to believe that he killed her. And then of course, you know, if, if he did, well, why was her sent up at the trail? Were the dogs just wrong? It's possible, but,

Gotta get that pilt going.

That's fantastic. We are looking at doing some LARP events. More medieval than anything.

Yeah, I'm going to be going down for War of the Barons, and I'm going to be one of his men-at-arms. It seems like I'm going to be a night hospitaler. If you want to be. I mean, there are spots if you want to fight.

I talked to Zan. You could be on the battlefield if you wanted to.

He said if you want to go and do video and photography, then he can have you be a hospitaler. But if you want to go and participate, then there's spots left for, I think, the loyalists.

And then the next year, you could join my barony.

Yeah, I'm Steven's half-brother. I am a bastard created with a barmaid in Wales.

I would argue freezing your grounds is not as important as vacuum sealing them. I would argue, yeah. Cold is not going to preserve them as well as proper sealing is. So the key is making sure that they do not have air flowing over them constantly. Because that will dry them out. That will make them stale. If you keep them vacuum sealed, that's your best bet. I will say this much. You know...

you're not going to notice the difference unless you are a coffee person. And at the end of the day, you're not going to notice the difference between two-week-old grounds and fresh grounds unless you're trying them next to each other or if you're very accustomed to having them fresh.

Is ground coffee, like fresh ground coffee, always going to taste better than coffee that's been ground for a couple of weeks? Yeah. But also, coffee is basically, like, 15 minutes after it's ground, it no longer is as good as it was right when it was ground. That's when the changes, like the oxidation and things, start to take place.

So unless you're consuming your coffee within 15 minutes every single time you've ground it, you're really not losing much between one day and two weeks.

But obviously, the longer it goes, it's not going to be as good. But no, keep it in the bag and just make sure you press all the air out of the bag because that's how the bags that comes in work. Or put it into a glass jar, something that doesn't, you know, with a glass lid, something that doesn't have airflow coming through. Those are my suggestions. Freezer's fine.

It's just cold isn't as important as seal.

I don't know. I just kind of picked a New England state out of a hat. I'm still kind of mad about the Patriots.

But then also, how did he... I mean, the one thing that was said was that he hid her in the bottom of Klingman's Dome Tower and then came back for her body. When, though? Like, when would he have done it? So I think Trenny is one of the cases that I don't know that I'm ever going to be... I'm never going to feel confident about the answer on that one.

Okay. I'm going to find a way to read these.

I got to think about it though. It ain't easy. Oh boy. Really, it's the Wendussy that I'm trying to figure out how to not say.

Yeah, I'm trying not to say it 18 times. Yeah, that's fair. Okay. I mean, the more important part about it is the voice, right? All right. If you vote for Wendussy Sludge 2028, these are my campaign promises. We will give every citizen of the USA a Wendigo for their own use. We will give all ATF and IRS agents to the Wendigo.

We will secure the border with Canada using romantically ambidextrous Wendigo bodyguards. We will annex the Toronto Peninsula of Canada. reducing the population by 20% and making Michigan, Michigan, you know, great state of Michigan, a three peninsula state. Wisconsin could never take the upper peninsula. They don't have the balls. They don't have the balls. I know it. You know it. We all know it.

Detroit will be sold to Mexico and become Mexican colony. Jimmy Carter will be appointed to the Supreme Court. Oh, there's more. There's more, folks. Justin Trudeau, Justin Trudeau, you know, Fidel Castro's son, but that's none of my business, will be unalived on a Lore Lodge podcast. They haven't committed to that yet. I don't know. We'll see.

Perhaps if I make him director of the national parks, he'll allow it. A 50-mile-wide strip of Canada's west coast will be annexed from Washington to Alaska. It's only proper. It's only proper from the river to the sea, you know, as they say.

That one might get us in a little bit of trouble. Uh-huh. Oh, boy. What do we got? That's the last one. All right. The rest of Canada not previously mentioned will be sold to Japan. I have plans for Cuba that YouTube won't let me post, but it involves nuclear weapons and it becoming an island of radiation. Only cockroaches, folks. Only cockroaches in Cuba.

I knew a Bernie was coming. I knew we were getting Bernie out of it. Oh, boy. He's too good. He's too fun. This was... I was just looking through the rest of the comments. The only thing Washington knows how to do is lie. What was that supposed to be? Bernie. Oh, okay.

Can I get Bernie after he's just eaten a Hot Pocket that's a little too hot but then freezing cold?

You know what my favorite ones I've seen recently were, though? It was the Joe Rogan. It was the Trump on Joe Rogan. And my phone. I have a couple of them saved.

I feel confident that she's not still in the park and that she did not die in the park after getting lost. I don't think that's what happened. But beyond that, I don't think it's really possible to say. Yeah. But you want to see, I see a lot of super chats coming in.

Yeah. No, the fake ones. Oh, boy. Where were they? Also, have you guys seen the ultimate YouTuber gay sex chart? Because I'm on it.

Yeah, that was a thing that I had to see. Where are they? Did they leave? Oh, no, here we go. All right, Ray. So the conquest of Gaul was justified because the Gauls are sick people. Horrible tribes, Joe. They sacked Rome. Beautiful city destroyed. The sword on the scale, Joe. Woe to the vanquished. Have you heard this? I got one more. Congolese migrants, they're coming here for free.

Have you heard this? It's called Congolese migrant taxpayer sex change surgeries. Kamala, they call her Kamala. I call her stupid, low IQ, boxed wine lady. Anyway, they call her Kamala and she is paying for Congolese migrant sex changes so they can play girls high school field hockey. But really, they're boys. No, it's true. You can look it up and we're going to stop it.

fake Trump quotes from the Joe Rogan interview that are indistinguishable from real Trump quotes. They could have been real. My favorite, yeah, it was the one where it was, you know, the Biden-Trump debate, and it's Biden, the Biden impression is like, and Trump is like, there are 10 million Guatemalans attacking the Lincoln Memorial right now.

The full list of promises is in the hashtag polls channel. Oh, no. And finally, Fried Foreskins for $4.99 said, you're going to have to cover my case because I'm getting lost in your eyes.

I don't think anything from the end of this episode was particularly awful. No, people will get mad. Hang on. We made fun of everybody. It's okay if you make fun of everybody.

Paraku Benin.

Did you try and say Berlin? No, Benin's a real country, Aiden. Benin's a country in Africa. There's no way you're actually there right now. Okay, so here's my favorite thing. You're like, oh no, Aiden's Trump impressions about Congolese migrant sex change surgeries are going to get us canceled. And then you just culturally erased an entire African country.

but uh no the the chart the the chart uh my favorite thing about it is it's uh top bottom dom sub yeah i am very close to the middle line so i'm you know kind of you know verse i guess is what they call it in the community um what i think so or a switch or whatever i don't know whatever you say verse yeah that's i've heard that one oh i'm cool versatile what Okay, anyway.

Okay. But I am, like, pretty far over to the Dom side. And I was okay with this, right? Steven is about halfway up the top line on the line. So he goes either way, you know? Do you want to know where they put Wendigoon? I'm going to be shocked. I know it.

bottom sub midway to the left at the bottom at the bottom they definitely did it just to spite him they were just like this but i saw that i was like oh boy this poor man uh okay yeah alex corp goes the fact they put wendigoon in bottom sub is evil before i even said it yeah yeah they're definitely just trying to mess with them but all right uh and uh gom said what happened to glass of water from the early days i don't know yeah she just kind of disappeared yeah

But, you know, with all that said... Yeah, I gotta go make my girlfriend some soup. Soup? Soup? You gotta go.

You gotta hate Giant?

Oh, okay.

All right, well, thank you all very much for being here. It means a lot to us.

It means a lot to us. Well, you know, anyway, point is, if you enjoyed the stream, you know, hit the like button, you know, like, hawk to a and spit on that thing, as the kids say.

History Tua, indeed. What did you call it during one of the clacky things? History Unchained? No, I'm talking about the other thing. History Tua? No, the other thing. Oh, History Unclipped? Nope, the other thing.

I don't want to say the actual word, yeah. It's History Uncircumcised. That's what he said.

No, I was trying to, I was trying to hit the, I thought it would be funny if I had said it's history uncircumcised and then just switch to the ending screen. Yeah. But I forgot that we were in the studio mode. So I, I didn't,

Oh, yeah. So that's one of the fun parts. The video that just came out on Friday, Aiden edited that entire thing. on Thursday for all intents and purposes.

Part where we get really silly.

These are going to be great.

I accidentally hit the wrong button. This is why you sit in this chair. Would you like to finish what you were saying? Yeah.

It's true.

There we go.

The massacre that occurred there or didn't occur there.

Yeah. I think you guys are actually going to be surprised at the conclusions in that video. Yeah, if you've heard the story before, I think you will be very surprised about the conclusion.

We met one of our longtime subscribers, Faith, grabbed some dinner with us down in Tennessee and brought her absolutely adorable, what, five-year-old baby?

The land between lakes.

It's true. I know it was just so nonchalant. You're like, thanks for letting us achieve our dreams. Bye. Well, I mean, like, all right. I know. All right. So, boy. Okay.

Yeah. No, Alex, I will. I will be off of hiatus. I will be streaming on Friday. What? And I have to do my job. I'll see you guys Friday.

Yeah. So cute. Aiden did some, like, immediately went into dad mode.

Yeah, it's like I would destroy an entire village over this.

Yeah, it's like, I must protect this child. Yeah, yeah. I worry about it, honestly. Yeah, why? Well, I don't know, because, like, I think about it, you know, if somebody were to harm one of my future children, I would... I would not take it well. I would not handle it well. Yeah. And, you know, we don't get into it on the channel much, but I'm not typically a violent person.

When I am, however.

You mean Gary Plouchet?

Bouchard was Michael Bouchard.

Yes, there we go. Yeah. Oh, no, he was totally justified. Like that was not only justified, the man was a hero.

Why Gary?

Actually, Jody commented on our episode of that show.

He and I had a brief conversation and then I realized I was like, wait, you're Jody. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. He went to Penn state. That's wild. Um, yeah, this is a, we are.

I wish I'd had that when I had to read Job in high school. You know what? Actually, while you go through those, I'm going to find something as we do this. But I'm waiting on you. Go ahead. For what? Just to read stuff.

Then last weekend I brought up the situation saying that I wasn't comfortable combining finances and signing marriage papers with these assets and putting my name under them. Again, she tells me their dad said it's above board, but I felt like it was maybe fraud. I told her that if she went to a lawyer and basically had him call me and said that it was a call above board, I'd be fine with it.

But I just kind of wanted to get your opinion on this. Is it fraud or am I just kind of being paranoid about this?

Yeah, that's what I think.

Right.

Correct.

Correct, yes.

Right.

Yes.

Yeah, have her transfer it back.

Yeah, it's really been weighing on me. So I really appreciate that light.

From a single argument that then brings up everything.

Hi, Mr. Ramsey and Mrs. Cruz. Thanks for having me on. Sure. I hope the cruise went well.

Great. It was good.

Hopefully next year. So I have a question. I'm planning on proposing to my girlfriend here coming up soon. Um, but back in November she told me that her father had transferred all of her parents investments to her so that her sister could get a larger financial aid package. I basically said to not tell me anything more because I think this might be fraud.

Um, she said her dad talked to someone and he said it was all fine. And then a month ago I went to ask for hand to her parents. They said yes, but her dad kind of led me into saying that I would be willing to sign a prenup and he doesn't know that I know about the asset transfer.

yep and they're just like egging it on with the stewardess it's like oh no you really should ask like seriously he's a somebody oh and it goes that's what it was you received to you and then you guys joined it's like holy shit it's fat electrician just going towards fat electrician the youtube star dude i don't i don't think it was last i don't remember where the flight was it was recent it might have been for the drive tanks thing

Your kid's name is B. That's weird. That's weird, dude.

He's like, God damn it. And then I rolled through a stop sign in my gated community and the cop followed me here. Subtle flex, but all right. It's a gay community. I don't think about stop signs anymore.

What's going on?

He's going to come back a little monster.

painted red and white with a circle on it. John, use boulder. John, use 9mm. Just throw a gun next to him.

Oh, God.

Like a drop gun?

Fuck you, Shaq. Why didn't you show up, dog? Where's Shaq?

I'm going to put this reflector right here. Just, oh, trash, you know? It's like getting the perfect light set up for one shot. Is that, he was doing all that for a single shot?

She was doing like a coloring book. That's the one I see. It was multiple people watching videos, doing anything but paying attention.

2,500.

Man, that's down. 104 homicides.

Like- I've been told it's socioeconomic. What is registered gun violence versus non-registered? Do you ever have any bad habits?

Yeah, okay. If you're part of the 50% of people who try to quit vaping each year, well, you're gonna have to equip yourself with the right tools for the job.

Yeah.

Fume is a good habit, and it's one-third of the cost of your bad habit. Boo! Boo to bad habits, not fume bad habits.

By using code UNSUB to get a free gift with any purchase and finally begin that overdue breakup.

That's what I was going to say. It has to be a very high percentage on that. And you're like, okay.

Also, hunting with a suppressor was illegal? Yes. What's the logic on that? People are retarded.

100%.

Brandon, you have more ATS stuff coming up. Or is it just focusing on that bill and then whatever else you're rolling out? Because you were up there last week in Austin doing some stuff too. You're going the whole government route again, aren't you?

Army Secretary Daniel. No shit. Army Sec.

Just learn guns. Just have people that know it.

A preconceived notion. You'll get along, surprisingly, with everyone. You'll see. Everyone's just good dudes.

If anyone fucks around stupidly with a gun, we will be the first ones to punch them in the mouth for being unsafe. You get your ass beat. Yeah. You just get chucked to the ground instantly and then kicked out. I guarantee it.

Nick Hornby.

You, um... Met a dude I didn't know. So any military story, any of the World War I, World War II heroes, any story on an individual, it's all in the congressional library. You can get them documented or digitized and then put it in to always live on there. And then family members can just type in their name, pull it up. uh, older dude, he was in the military.

Then he did something with the secretary of defense or he was a doctor guy, very old him and his wife, sweethearts. He had a story. I was like, I tried to Google the guy. I'll get his direct name. Kid joined at 12 years old. Oh, this is world war two joined forged. He had a hobo forged documents for him. Back in their days right here. Yeah. Time period. And it was like, oh, so how old are you?

I think I'm 16. Brought the hobo.

To the recruiter, Hobo's like, yep, my kid's 18 or 16 or whatever the signing age to sign him on. He's like, yep, go. Boom. 12 years old. He is a sergeant at 15 years old jumping out of airplane. He did Battle of Bulge and something else. So he's a sergeant already. And then they go...

and then kick him out of the military because like you lied about your age they found out he's 15 finally i think it was his mom his mom wrote a letter to him because he finally wrote and then she wrote a letter to the army it was like hey my kid is joined at 12 he's 15 right now uh can i have him back so then he has to go back to high school he does high school for a couple years then goes back dude that's what happened to jack lucas

No shit.

The most decorated war hero.

My name's Eagle. Do you need one?

like how would you say to these kids it's like a fucking 15 year old going to high school or like that it's like yeah i took two grenades it what do you do it reminds me of uh that movie like catch me if you can like uh the the frank uh frank abagnale yeah having a frank abagnale yeah like it just cheated like uh at a young age he was just lying or when he did the um

When he pretended to be the substitute teacher?

No, it's what he did. Cause he even worked for FBI or whoever the government for fake and fraudulent checks because he was so good at that. And I know he caught a fuck ton of people because of it.

Yeah, it's good. Cocaine bears, I think it was just like, hey, let's just have fun with this. Well, it's based off real life. Yeah, other than they, like, amped. Well, like, extremely loosely.

There was a farmhouse where somebody heard some steps one day. A cocaine bear, they have a... The kids do coke in it, too. What? Yeah, dude. That movie's a fun-ass time. The kids find it. They don't know what it is. They accidentally get into it.

What's wrong with your kid? I don't know. And he's like, I feel so good!

like they're running the bear is just mauling everyone everyone as violent as shit and then it's just coked up out of its mind it falls in love with cocaine so then it's just speaking of cocaine uh and to kill a unicorn the who's the the actor he's like the nerdy kid and meet where the millers or meet the millers whatever the fuck that movie is

It's a funny movie. And its audience love it. Critics are going to hate it. It's like critics versus audience, so it's a good fun.

Right now, prices are already lower, but you'll get an extra 10% off when you use code unsubscribe at checkout.

Any romance, go on.

It was just fun. It doesn't have to make sense. It's just fucking cool as shit. Those movies are the ones you just go and don't, again, just go into it having fun. Don't go in thinking it's like, well, this is going to be the next Lord of the Rings or this epic story.

Just going to have a good time. Beekeeper. I love Beekeeper. It was just fucking stupid. Just fun. Fun time. Working Man sounds like a great movie.

That's a genuine screenshot from a knife. The sword when it's pointed at, I don't know who has a sword, but the sword at her and the Huntsman or whatever.

I don't think I'll ever watch that movie. Yeah. It's something.

Everyone loved it the entire time.

I don't know if, I don't know that there's jokes from my Steve and you dig and you build shit. Pretty, pretty basic.

Oh, I guarantee. Have you played Minecraft at all? Both of y'all. The most, it is super hard to be like, oh, this will be fun. And then you start mining and then you find unexplored caves and then you start building in those unexplored caves and then you start looking for diamonds.

It was a rough, rough fucking time.

I love that story. It's fucking great. Dude, he... Once he sold out, he sold it for like $3.2, $3.8 billion.

Yep. And then he sold it for how much? $3.2 or $3.8 billion to Microsoft. And when he built it, you had 2009, 2010... Came out for alpha. It was dwarf, something dwarf, if I remember right. And then it was Minecraft and you'd had to buy it through his PayPal account. Cause I bought it through PayPal. This is fucking. Oh, same dude. Back in the day. Yeah.

And then I remember he posted on our message board in the Minecraft ones that he got, um,

He's living his best life. You watch him on, they had him on some talk shows and they're like, so what is it? And he's like, oh, just hang out. I'm just rich now. I don't have to worry about anything.

And he still has residuals.

Hey, Brandon. Yes, Eli? When you think of businesses that are just crushing it, bonker, onset, what's the first thing to enter your mind? That's easy, Eli. A good child labor law attorney. Huh? Eli, I said Shopify. What did you hear? Actually, it was the overlooked secret behind the business. Like I said, Shopify. Oh.

AT4s do look like rocket launchers. They are rocket launchers. If you don't know better, I'd be like, huh.

50%.

The cell made him a billionaire. Additional notch earns... In 2012, from Minecraft cells, he made $101 million. God. Because Minecraft made Microsoft all fucked up. So even if he was like, give me 1% to 5% and then do whatever the fuck you want with the rest of it, he's quite fine. and to have that overnight success. Cause again, it was overnight PayPal. He didn't know what to do.

PayPal locked his account. Hey, I'm talking to PayPal. They thought I was laundering money. So it's locked. So I can't sell the game right now. Sorry. Got to figure it out. Got a banking account set up that can handle it and then had to transfer everything. But it was just chaos. Cause again, $180,000 a day or something like that. And he's like,

And that was overnight because he, free game, then he was like, I'll just charge 10 bucks for it.

I don't know how much they buy.

Nick, what videos do you have in the works for any history shit coming up?

It doesn't work. It's fine. It's not a real rocket launcher. They'll protect you. I promise that. This would be the worst place for somebody to try something.

Wait, when it was, they were trying to go after America and he's like, fuck this. I'm going to.

It's pretty smart. Yeah, you're going in and it's like, you're backgating. And he was, like, the whole time he was, like.

It's going to be like a zombie movie. They just slowly rip the criminal apart. I guarantee it would just be a horde.

Or he dipped it in ink and just smashed it on the paper. Kind of like I do on all my NFA forums. Do you want my thumbprint?

What ended up happening. So he wrote her, wrote to Benjamin Franklin, like, yo, about to smash. She seeded. Yeah.

I like it. Three, two, one.

It's such a wild time in how war communication, everything works. Because you're just going based off of what...

your boss has said that they said i got a letter from a fucking pigeon yeah and then you're like we're getting on the thing and we're gonna go on that boat kill everyone and then take it and then we'll go get drunk afterwards we'll go grab bar like imagine showing up to unsub it's like okay we got to rob some silverware nick's like i want to grape some people i'm like well hold on

Was it Chinese in the new Red Dawn? Yeah.

We have a friend here.

Hello, Quinn. You're going to be on later, beautiful.

Oh, my gosh.

There. Right in the middle.

For the future of what's going to come. Or depending on how these... Nathan's going to come.

I'm going to come. Chickago. Beautiful. I'm excited for it.

Why are they eating him?

Yep. I never thought about the taxidermy thing and how realistic of a situation that would become if someone invaded. Well, I know we've talked about it.

Is it... Is there a law against that?

We will put an unsub school up there real quick.

Dude, it will be super interesting with this group when we go to Japan because it is...

like the tram system or the subway system you take that everywhere and then everyone's super quiet so it's like being respectful cultures not eating and walking so you're it'll be this weird in between between us and then 90 or 20 for 90 minutes all you can drink so i'm like oh and the guys get super shit wrecked i gotta and then we're gonna try to keep rules in place you know we would be respectful to their culture exactly i have a hook up so we can go eat with sumo wrestlers

All the sumo wrestlers? Big boat, little boat. You'll still have monks, Buddhist monks. That's where you get the orange garbage Chinese culture. I think Japan is a little boat ideology of Buddhism. They just have different mindsets on how Buddhism works. I thought Japan was more Taoist. They have a mixture. You have Taoism. Is it Taoism? Something else. They might be now.

Back in the day, it was Buddhism. Christianity started taking in... I've got a very, like, mile-high view of this. I don't really, like, know the details of the culture. And then they ripped out Christianity. I think Nobunaga... I forget which dude ran in. He's like, no, get rid of this. We'll just go Buddhism. And then the other one is... Fuck!

Shintoism. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's what I was like. What is it? There is another one. Shinto. Shinto belief. Dude, they... Have you watched that one... I don't know where he's from. He's a white dude that is... Tom Cruise, Last Samurai. Yes, exactly. But he's a big dude. I'm going to watch that when I get home. Smaller compared to other sumo wrestlers, but he is almost... Oh, yeah, the Czech guy.

Yeah, that's almost a Yokozuna level, or he is. But this dude, against like 300, 400 pound guys, you've seen him truck them like it's nothing. This dude's 220. He's a small sumo wrestler.

My bad. My bad. It's an interesting bridge.

Yes.

Brandon wakes up with pink eye because that wasn't a hooker's butt.

Mr. Bila has got a thing. Oh, yeah, we do. This month's focus for us is the autism awareness. That wasn't the thing.

i know but that's the one i like i hate my god could you stop talking about autistic people i have a horrible idea about a great thing going on this month yes this is all and we're doing we're adding a special needs a non-profit once we find one just shopping for which ones actually do the right thing and not just blow everything on yeah administrative fees and marketing and all the people like we want to make sure that like

Also, how does that little make the action figures work show? Did you just type in? What do you ask it?

What's he dressed like? Like Cody. What's he dressed like? Like Brandon. All right, Jamie, pull that up right now. Show them the thing. I was actually cracking up. Yours is great.

It was just oil.

Well, that's another one. Oh, there's the kid you're talking about. Yeah.

The giant, the big fucking arms. Did you see his MMA fight? He did an MMA fight? Oh, yeah. Let me guess. How'd that go, Eli? He can't fight. Weird. Centaur not working out doesn't equate to fighting. Period. He got his fucking ass beat. Any of those dudes is just going to get their ass beat.

Pop it. Pop his bicep. Goes into toxic shock. Close, dude.

We go like that. And they're like, I think that's good.

I don't, I don't want to put in the work, but I want to look a certain way. That's fucking wild. That was a bizarre catch.

Yeah, I'm sure he's saying it. And then we have, what else is in the world? Oh, we got, let's say hi to Eli. Got that finally launched. And y'all, beautiful souls, I still have to do your interview. And yours is after Cody's. Cody's is, yours was fucking great too. I love what's happening. You almost made me cry on yours. Ha! What'd he say? What's he say? Give me a second.

As he's holding bad bitch.

Yeah, because the majority don't carry a gun. No.

Wait, the police can't? Oh, no, the cops do. Yeah, the cops.

I wish that happened in America just to see how bad it would get. You're showing up with no guns. Like fuck dude. It's like, Oh, this is why they carry firearms. Got it.

Have you seen those? No, you can't stab still cut, but no stabbies is a whole thing. Still stabbies. No stabbies. I hate everything. Square knife. Square British.

Are they allowed to own lawnmower blades? It's like a machete. They have those weird...

Don't look at me. Look that way. Is that a Jerusalem cross?

Dude, sorry, but wearing a plate carrier while wearing chainmail, I'd be fucking pissed. That's hot as shit. Yeah. Also, they have an unlocking folding knife with a blade up to three inches can be carried without valid reason. However, anything else, flick knife, butter knife, kitchen knife. Some would say that three inches is too much. Or just enough. The big knife. It's huge. What is it?

I love my group of friends. Oh, when are we going to watch Lord of the Rings? Are we doing that? Name of time.

100%.

I have no idea. It would be recorded. It's also, I have no idea. The gang does and then whoever we feel like inviting.

Avatar. Avatar. And then James Cameron was like, I'll give you, I think it was 10% owner, 5% or 10% of all gross. If you just play the part. And James Cameron also said, he's like, I don't need you by the way, this is going to be massive with or without you, but I would like you to be involved as the main. So I'll give you that.

And he couldn't because he was filming born the born series and they were doing reissues. He's like, I'm sorry, I cannot. So he's like, I am probably the person who lost the most money. period. And that's all Avatar. All of the Avatar. Bro, Avatar, guess Avatar gross right now. 6.5 billion dollars. Right, no, 3.8 or 4.2 billion dollars globally.

Yeah, he was bored. Imagine now 10% or 5%, any percent of that, that's what he would have made... And it was all the IP. It was the entire IP. That's before. He would have had enough money to fly to Epstein Island as much as he wanted. So fine. All the fucking money in the world.

Yeah, they would follow us and escort us to the bathroom because we couldn't find it, obviously. The implication was they thought we were going to sprint out on the wall.

Cody, you have life updates. Everyone has updates. Y'all fucking engaged.

Oh, I win. Okay, where's the restroom at? I was like, what the fuck?

Right at the beginning, too, before you take off.

He's trying to be respectful and immediately breathe.

I think Cody's almost got cut off from a flight before.

and rich was being fucking rich oh when you walked it was it the one where it was like oh my god is is that your youtuber we always with each other too oh yeah we fuck with each other all the time so we're never allowed i'm like we have the propensity to be quite loud uh was that the one who was like or were you fucking with who was it when they like brandon walked around i know rich did that to me at least once but i think we've done it to everybody at some point

All lowercase. Well, she was like, I'm calling the fucking cops. And I was like, all right, cool, call them. Throw my beer away, whatever. We get, what, like a block away? The entire police department rolls up on us. All of them.

No, we just had a polite conversation and went on our way. That is not true. Can I tell what I saw? Nick, what did you say?

Yeah, throw that away. Those are the rules. Eli, let me preface this a little bit. We spent a crazy couple days. We are all sunburned white people right now.

I did too. It was impressive.

No. He obviously didn't police the same place I policed because I wouldn't have handled that situation like that. I don't know. I may have had a couple of drinks that night, so I was just arguing with him to be facetious. It was a good time. It was a really good time.

He's like, you're going in cuffs. I'm like, yeah, cool.

What do you want? We got kicked out of the bar. We went back there a second night. Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. Oh, yeah, we did. Yeah, the hog lady that called the cops on us. We went back there after that fucking wildebeest called the cops on us.

You're lucky we're good, easygoing people. You'd think there's ten of me. But anyways, so we got kicked out the second night. We didn't handle it personally. We were just like, all right, cool. We didn't handle it personally. We made it.

Trash Donkey.

Well, she cut Kevin off, and I was like, Kevin, you want to buy this bar? He's like, yeah. Dude, Kevin would be the person to do it.

I never get pulled over.

Y'all.

Dude, they go from 35 to 75, and they don't put them anywhere.

Feel the paint swatch up to you? Yeah. Well, okay.

That was my introduction to Texas was being pulled over right outside of drive tanks. Like when I first moved here. I've been pulled over outside of drive tanks like in Uvalde area. I've been pulled over twice there. In San Antonio, I've never been pulled over.

Yeah, dude. He's not going to heaven. People who drive slow don't go to heaven. They're in the same category as cyclists.

I was like, it's got to be AI, right?

Damn, I'm not breaking into your fucking house. I know that. Yeah, she's really fucking good. You get stunted on before you get killed.

I just call that word stop resisting. There you go. Christ.

No.

I watched it.

You don't watch my shit. I know. I think that's a standard.

It's like just a 22 round through, you're talking about those big motherfuckers.

Two.

One, two.

Some young kid in the apocalypse is like, Lieutenant Brandon, why is he doing this? He's like, don't stop him.

With a gummy bear on his chest.

Are we just punching each other in the nuts tonight? Yeah, pretty much.

It's like my middle name is F***ing Ass.

Welcome to the Bully Angus podcast. We're happy to have him here tonight. We're just bullying each other tonight. It's all the way around. Who's next?

That fucking checks out. Shitting me right now.

I said Glock.com.

Do we ever tell the story about how we made the Hollywood people mad tasting our guns?

I think we need beers.

Terrence, where they train Keanu to shoot for John Wick and all that.

That's what matters. She wasn't upset. Is she indifferent? Surprised?

VHS. Land Before Time. I have seen that.

I wish, you know.

They never flagged my submachine gun.

Nothing like what's on our fridge right now. Nothing like the fridge handle.

Brandon has like five more Navy achievement medals than me. You asshole.

Now we gotta get the fridge open. Connor almost caught that with his mouth. Yeah, that was very close.

He just moved his addiction from one to the other?

It's called homeostasis, Cody.

It's not that bad. It said the word, didn't it?

Terminator.

They found out what excited delirium was in the book. In the 1900s. What the fuck?

Okay.

That makes sense. I thought they did. That makes complete sense. Which I think they drank beer. It's like Florida has Florida, man. What do you call, like, Iowa, man? No, we don't have that.

It was like a bailout type thing. They did the dairy. They bailed out.

Sir, I believe we're at an impasse right now.

True.

They're like, yeah, we went to war. We got shot. We killed people. And our war has been YouTube the past 10 years. Yeah, they wouldn't let us say.

The IOM bro. Nice. Dude, thank Christ it wasn't a female officer. She would have just shot you. Yeah, you would have been dead.

What we're saying unless they watch it.

When you guys showed me the video earlier, I was like, oh, fuck, they all got scotted.

We're all just a bunch of dirty boys.

Don't say the city, though. Let's not say the city.

Yeah, that's funny.

Yeah, that was a fun time. We went to a bar with Kevin... We can talk about this, right? We can talk about this? Yeah. You didn't do anything wrong.

Really? I met this dude. He invented the 300 blackout round, the honey badger, the boom box, the fix. Really great guy. His name's Kevin Schmittingham. The booper bike burger? Yeah, the booper bike burger. So Bevan Brittingham. Oh, shit. From the WS weapon system. We went to a bar with our friend, and as soon as we walk in, like in big chalk on the wall, it was like, Nazis are bad.

And it's like, yeah, we understand that. Why do you feel the need to tell us? And we're in there. We're just calm, talking to each other. Like, I'm talking to Eli. We're talking to Kevin, talking to Nick. Everyone's just, like, chilling. And she was like, you're cut off. You're cut off, and you're cut off.

And then she follows me out and she's like, you can't have that beer out there out here. And she pushes me and then she swats at my beer. And I'm like, you're too fat.

You're a hog female. That would look bad on camera. And so she swats at me. And I'm like, no. I'll put it down if you want me to put it down. I'll throw it away. And then she swats at me again. I'm like, no. You're like juking her. It's the funniest shit to watch.
