I'm so embarrassed to have to say I'm a YouTuber.
YouTuber.
>> You shouldn't be. But it does make
people go.
>> It's It's like It's just Oh, what? What
do you do? I just My default answer I
make videos on the internet.
>> Oh, like you work for a media company? I
kind of Yeah, I just like I make videos.
Oh, like what? I make YouTube videos.
>> This always happens. See the the the the
long pull? It always happens.
>> Every time. It's like I make YouTube
videos. Oh, you're an in Are you an influencer?
influencer?
>> That's how they say it. Yeah.
>> What is it you do, Bob?
>> Technically, I'm an influencer. And 99%
of the time, if it's another grown ass
adult, they look at me and they don't
say anything. But the look says, "Oh,
[ __ ] this guy sits at home all day
naked, eating Cheetos, [ __ ] off on
his computer, and his wife is like a
doctor or something." That explains
everything. And the next question every time,
time,
>> what does your wife do?
>> Yeah. Dr. Hannah, medicine woman.
>> Yeah, default answer every time, me. [Music]
[Music]
>> And welcome, welcome to your favorite
underwhelming podcast. I am the co-host
with the most TBI joined by the former
chubby electrician guy. We're so excited
to see you. We're glad you're here. Man, >> what
>> what
>> what a time in Iowa. I'm having a blast.
I love it up here at my second home. You
know, your family's great, too, but you
know, we haven't really established
where I'm bunking permanently, but we'll
get to that. I think I'll take the the
left wing of the compound.
>> Why don't you just sell your house in
Tennessee and buy a house here twice the
size and live here?
>> Don't tempt me. Don't tempt me. You
know, you're getting to a certain age
when your bros send you like Zillow.
He's like like uh uh cuz it's funny cuz
like when you showed up to my house
you're like a it's a great it's nice
house very complimentary same thing but
I sent you Zillow's and then he sent me Zillow.
Zillow.
>> No I messed up with Bunker branding cuz
uh Bunker is like at capacity like it we
need we need more space.
>> Right. So like Bunker needs more space
and there's like a factory uh next door.
Why I say factory? It's like a 4,000
foot Morton building that's been beat to
[ __ ] from the 60s.
And we're like, it's like the only place
nearby that you could buy to like ex put
up a new building, expand, whatever the
case is. And it's like,
>> how much do they want for that? And it's
like, $1.2 million for a plot of land
and a building I'm going to have to rip
down and put a new building on. And it's
like, that's insane. And then I made the
mistake of getting on and just seeing
like what's available in Iowa. And it's
like, oh, a 28,000 square foot building
that's ready to go for like 900 grand.
>> It's just like this is
>> the property difference between place to
place is insane.
>> The the slow Iowa sleeper build is
continuing to happen.
>> I think Iowa this year has the lowest
cost of living in the entire country.
>> Pretty cool. I mean, as soon as we hit
here from Minnesota, it's like, what is
it? Freedom to flourish. I don't know.
>> I think that's the motto. And I was
like, "All right, you guys kind of live
and let live."
>> Also, the most altered human altered
land in the world.
>> Is that good or bad?
>> Probably bad. Iowa has really high
cancer rates because we're spraying
Roundup on everything all the time. It's
in the groundwater. And then like Iowa
used to have cuz it's all it's just a
big plane. It's just flat as far as the
eye can see. There's no bumps, nothing.
It's a tabletop. >> And
>> And
>> when like the settlers first got here,
they had prairie grass. So it's like 5
foot high grass. But so Iowa has a bunch
of flooding problems. And this grass
that Iowa prairie grass, what they
understand now, but didn't understand
then, the root system in this prairie
grass went like 30 feet underground.
Like there's a museum in Iowa that I
went to and they showed the thing. It's
like 80 foot high ceilings with like
mezzanines. It's a three-story museum
and this exhibit is like here's the 5t
of prairie grass, here's the dirt level,
here's the root system and it's like 30
feet long and that was covering the
entire state. They ripped it all out so
they could grow corn. Well, corn's root
systems only, you know, a foot or
whatever. So they're like, "This is why
Iowa floods and [ __ ] all the time is
because we used to have this prairie
grass with this enormous root structure
overlapping everywhere and that would
hold the water in the ground." Well, now
the ground doesn't hold as much water.
It just sheds it off and everything floods.
floods.
>> Why is there so much water? Is it
because it gets cold and it freezes and melts?
melts?
>> No, I mean Iowa's really low. So like we
have a really low flood table.
>> So I mean you can go you can go damn
near anywhere in Iowa, dig a [ __ ]
hole, get a couple of feet, you're going
to hit
>> Sounds like get wet. Yeah. Well, usually
you pay extra for that.
>> This is true.
>> I'm sorry. I'm a little boss took us
through a workout that he built in the
garage in like 5 seconds and like uh 40
rounds. What was it? Uh
>> was a metcon.
>> Uh it was like it was a me it was
definitely a metcon. It was just uh what
do we do? 10 kettle bell swings. >> Yep.
>> Yep.
>> We did uh five
>> five uh clean
>> cleaning press. 10 goblet squats.
five GHD situps. It's a partner. I go,
you go. So, while I'm completing that
circuit, he's holding a plate above his
head of your desired weight.
>> Once I'm completed, he hands over the
plate, I hold it above my head. We do
that. Complete an entire round, rest for
one minute, go again. We did a what,
like four rounds each.
>> Four rounds. >> Gross.
>> Gross.
>> Yeah. I was like, he's like, "How much
you want to hold over your head?" And I
was like, "Ah." My ego was like
>> 25. My default was like 25. >> 25.
>> 25.
>> And then he said, "Let's do 10."
>> I'm gonna do 10.
>> I'm really thankful you did. You picked 10.
10.
>> I'm going to pick 10 cuz like
>> like you're just holding it like this. >> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> But it's it's a long time.
>> So you can't drop it until he I complete
the circuit or he completes the circuit
and then you swap. So keep in mind you
got kettle bell swings with which are
exhausting the shoulders. You got clean
and press also exhausting the shoulders.
You got goblet squats that are crushing
your legs.
>> I love when you guys went through basic
training. Do you ever have, you know,
like some like we had I went through in
2012, so probably a little bit after you
guys, but like we had some kids, both
men and women, that could not even do a
push-up when they got to basic training.
>> What is What was the basic training test
then for y'all? It's probably the same.
>> Yeah, it's the same. It's uh it's
push-up, sit-ups, and
>> push-up, sit-ups, two-m run. But like we
had some people that like legitimately
could only do like five push-ups or
couldn't do a push-up. A push-up.
>> Yeah. Like it was crazy. And you know,
they'd be smoking you and you get to the
point even, you know, if you can do
push-ups, they'll make you do push-ups
till you can't do push-ups. And you get
to the point where it's just like
>> it's not working. And then they make you
stand up and make you like do this with
your arms just burning the [ __ ] out of
your shoulders. >> And
>> And
>> sun gods is what we used to call it.
>> Is it like the cherry pickers? Yeah, the
cherry. Pick the pick the cherries. Drop
them in the basket. Pick the cherries.
Drop them in the basket. Oh, yeah. And
we had a
>> Somewhere Rich is smiling.
>> I'm I'm [ __ ] I got in trouble for
laughing cuz we had this uh
>> female drill sergeant that was black and
she was funny as [ __ ] Like she didn't
want you to laugh, but she was [ __ ]
hilarious. Yeah. She was
>> right on this private screaming at him
and he's like struggling to hold his
arms up. He's so exhausted. Hold your
[ __ ] arms up private. You grew them
[ __ ] I don't want to hear you
complaining about it. Like, oh, it was hilarious.
hilarious.
>> Dude, I miss boot camp so much for one
reason. It is absolutely the funniest
social experiment you'll ever be a part
of. Like, I didn't know it at the time,
but all the drill instructors are like
working on a tight five. Like, it's like
they're doing bits at the comedy store
and they're just trying to make you
break. And I got lucky. I don't know if
you guys had this. I got lucky. My
cousin went literally enlisted like four
years before me. And so he basically was
like, well, my uncle did it too, but uh
it was like this is how we get out of
where we are. We joined the Marines. We
changed our lives. Uncle became a
doctor, like a head of surgery
somewhere. He became this like IT guy
who like taught himself everything.
>> [ __ ] happened to you?
>> You know, I didn't follow direct. [ __ ]
you, man. Like I didn't uh I didn't
follow all the directions, but like he
put me on game of like do you have a
moment of truth? This is two things I
want to know. You have a moment of
truth. Do you have that? You go into
receiving, they're bulldoging you. Hey,
get off my bus right now.
>> Like a shark attack.
>> Well, you're getting shark attacks in
the thing and then like you're filling
out paperwork with like your head on the
desk and they're like, don't let your
don't let your nasty head up, you you
[ __ ] piece of [ __ ] you know, they're
doing all that stuff, but then at the
end there's like a break like 24 hours
in or whatever and they call it the
moment of a truth and they bring in a
guy. He's like, "Hello, my name's Lance Corpal
Corpal
Sanchez, something like that. Doesn't
matter." He goes, "If you're here, your
drone start to tell you about this
moment. This is the moment of truth. If
you want to be a Marine, you come up
right now. You tell us the truth. If you
lied about anything on your recruiting
papers, you tell us right now. Let's
start your journey together as honest
like and he's like giving you this whole
pitch. You watch a movie. They bring out
the 9/11 TV. You know what I'm talking about?
about?
>> Yeah. On the cart.
>> On the cart. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. The [ __ ] the Oh [ __ ] I'm about
to get to watch Magic School Bus and
Bill and I the Science Guy TV.
>> Yeah. All I can think of it is the 9/11 TV.
TV.
>> The teachers hung over today, so we're
going to watch TV. TV TV. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Romeo and Juliet in class. Whoa. They
[ __ ] like it was crazy. Worst thing
is finding out that day happened and you
took school off. Yeah. Because you're
like, "Damn, I used a Come on, man. I
used up a cart TV day.
>> It's a freebie. It's like a mental
health day." But um so the moment of
truth is basically they try to get
recruits or potential I mean, yeah, the
recruits they try to get them to break
their contract
so that they can reopen them and
reassign them. And depending on what you
did, they might even drop you.
Apparently, it's something that's done
to ensure the integrity between the
recruiters. I mean, this is 2007. They
were doing pulse checks at the door.
They're like,
>> it sounds like they're trying to fill
positions that nobody >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. So, like the most common thing
that would happen is they would just
reopen your contract.
>> Like a lawsuit about that [ __ ] for the
Navy a while back and uh the military lost.
lost.
>> Apparently, they apparently the Navy and
the Marines did it a lot. Yeah, there
was like uh like a couple of dudes that
got brought in to be like um
communications guys and then they ended
up somehow just being like cooks on a
ship and they were super pissed about it
and they did like didn't get to do any
of the job that was in their contract.
They ended up like having a lawsuit and
won. I don't know if it was like suing
or just getting the job they wanted or
getting out of their contract, but I
know the Navy lost that legal battle.
>> I want to look that up actually. But
with this thing, cuz in the Marines, you
pick a field and it's like infantry
field, comm field, you know, motor t
field, and then you go to your like
school and then you get a you pick a job
and then
>> they bring out the sorting crayon.
>> Yeah. Yeah. They bring out the sorting
crayon. They bring out the sorting crayman.
crayman. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Machine gunner.
>> Yeah. U basically. But I went there with
a few guys from like the same area and
my cousin, my cousin Mitch, shout out to
my cousin Mitch. He goes, "Whatever you
do, don't don't don't get up. Don't tell
them nothing. You sit there. You bury
your head. Boot camp's a game. The game
is to get you through it. They don't
want you to wash out. This is a system.
It'll feel real weird. It's theatrical
and all stuff." He's like, "Just I'm
like, "All right, cool." He's never lied
to me. Why would he lie to me about this?
this?
>> Boot Camp is one big Mr. Beast video.
>> Yeah, basically. Yeah, it is. And so
like I'm there and the dude comes out
and I I see this kid and I don't
remember his name and I don't even want
to know his I don't even want to know
his name, but I we had like hung out cuz
we had been together for like a week or
two at that point and he like gets to
stand up and I literally like reach back
and I just give him one of these. I'm
like, "Sit the [ __ ] down." Like he's
like, "No, no." He's like, "What if they
find out I did drugs?" And I was like,
"Shut up, nerd." Like, "Sit down." He's
like And he like shrugs me off like
this. walks up there with like the most
amount of swagger. I was like, "Damn,
they got him." Jump cut.
Boot camp stuff happens. We can come
back to that later.
I go to get my camies and all my stuff.
Final issue. The boys graduating,
getting ready to finish up. I'm a Marine.
Marine.
That guy's right there in receiving. He
goes, "They're kicking me out. I broke
contract." He told him he like did
mushrooms once and he didn't tell his
recruiter and they cut him right there.
Do y'all have anything like that?
>> In 2007.
>> In 2007, which was crazy.
>> No, we had uh we had like three three
fat kids. I mean, I'm like they were
obese kids. Like, I don't know how they
made it into the whatever. And the first
day, you know, they just they shark
attack. They smoke the [ __ ] out of you.
Like, it's whatever. It sucks. You do
push-ups, get yelled at, it's fine.
>> And they, you know, that started at like
9:00 in the morning. didn't really have
[ __ ] lunch that day and then it's
like dinner time. They march you to the
[ __ ] chow hall. You go through the
chow hall [ __ ] and they make you you
all get your trays and then like your
units at these two long tables or
whatever and you set the tray down in
front of you and you stand at parade
rest behind your chair and drill
instructor's got a [ __ ] stopwatch >> really
>> really
>> and he's like as soon as the last person
gets ready he's like okay eat. And he
hits a stopwatch. I I don't know the
time period. I remember it was spaghetti
bread with butter and corn is what there
was. And I took a spoonful of spaghetti,
stuck it in a loaf of bread, and I
almost finished that one loaf of bread
before he said, "Okay, get your [ __ ] up.
Get the [ __ ] out." Like, it had to have
been 15 to 30 seconds somewhere in there.
there. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay, cool. Whatever. Not eating. Go
back out. Dump all this food in the
[ __ ] trash. Go back out. Stand in
formation. And there's three fat kids crying.
crying.
>> Crying. crying because they're hungry. >> [ __ ]
>> [ __ ]
>> crying. And two of them
>> dropped out. Yeah.
>> Right then. They're like, "I quit. I
want to go home." And they ended up
being basically the [ __ ] water boy. Yeah.
Yeah.
>> For the entire They were with us all
through basic training.
>> Get the [ __ ] water for everybody
else. And they got they went all the way
through the whole basic training cycle
as our water boy. And then I don't know
what happened to them, but they got what
I was told was they were getting
recycled and they would have a chance to
go through it again. But I was like that
[ __ ] sucks.
>> Yeah, that's that's worse. Um
>> I definitely remember that though. The
uh the whole eating within a time period.
period. >> Yeah,
>> Yeah,
>> I didn't have that problem. I had a
different problem. I was a double ration.
ration.
It sounds great. It was not great for
me. Not until the end. literally double everything.
everything.
>> We had one guy on double rations. He got
me tackled by two drill instructors.
>> I mean, that's that's when I realized
the main difference between the military
and prison is that everyone has a gun in
the military, but the rules are still
the same because I was trading peanut
butter for, you know, people were like, "B,
"B,
give me some give me some peanut
butter." And I just throw them to them.
But I I got in there. I mean, I
enlisted. I was 18. I was like 105, 107,
maybe. sin you and they're like you're a
double rash and I was like what does
that mean and like it sounds great at
first but that it's so it was so much
food that I would literally like
>> I would get nauseous
>> struggling from success
>> it was not struggling
>> okay Mr. [ __ ] Monopoly.
>> I was I was I was like liter I would
until like the last week we were there
like every meal I I wanted to vomit and
if I what do you think happened if I
started choking Nick? What do you think
happened? Swallow that [ __ ] Don't you
waste that chow. You know these recruits
would kill you to have have that chow.
And I'm just like drinking two glasses
of milk every meal.
>> Boohoo. I got to eat at basic training.
>> Left at like 140. Like it was insane.
The boy became a man then all of a
sudden. It was It's crazy times, but
that that guy I think about that guy. He
probably look what he does now.
>> I think I lost 20 lbs and I think I [ __ ]
three times in all of basic training.
>> You should get that look dead. There
might be something still in there.
>> I mean, no, it's just there was no
body's like there is no waste. There's
nothing there's nothing we didn't figure
out how to use.
>> There's How long? It's the same boot
camp's the same times. It's just it's
such a funny weird thing that happens
and it's the only like only people that
join the military have like that type of experience.
experience.
But I don't know. I'm kind of upset with
some things that are happening.
>> The funniest part for me is just seeing
all the cultural differences between
different people. Like white people
don't use washcloths.
>> White people barely use lotion. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Like just all these different things. A
lot of white people don't understand how
awesome baby powder or foot powder is. Like
Like
>> I remember it felt like I was meeting
people from a movie. Like because you
meet like northern people and they're
like, "Hey, I'm from New Jersey. You
know, what's up? My name's Tony Gabo.
This is Mikey Gab or whatever Italian
name." Or like and you I'd never met
people like that before. Like this is
Sanchez. This Hernandez, this is Smith.
This is Jones. This is Humphrey. Like
this is like Apple White. This is so and
so. And you're all piles of [ __ ]
>> Everyone hates you. Everyone hates you.
The oldest recruit we had though was a
30-year-old dude.
>> We had a guy that was 28
>> and he he was from the Midwest. I can't
remember where. I would I don't want to
ever say his name. Um it's in my It's
some He was right next to me in boot
camp, but the drill instru they they
loved [ __ ] with him. It was Ever told
you the story? >> No.
>> No.
>> This is like the first time I got
cracked. So, there was this one drill
instructor who was an 0311. And I know
cuz it was tattooed on his forearm.
That's what I wanted to do.
>> Oh, see the army army drill instructors
if you're infantry,
>> the badge on their campaign cap has a
baby blue ring around it. >> Mhm.
>> Mhm.
>> So you you [ __ ] know. >> Really?
>> Really? >> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> That's sick.
>> It's an identifier for the infantry.
>> I forget. Does artillery have a red one?
>> No, it's just infantry that has that,
right? Okay.
>> Yeah. He had just this huge tattoos. He
was jacked. He had a he had a wartime
stack when stacks were wartime and um he
was like I think he was training the
senior this the drone instructors in
there. He would like come in every now
and then like moonlight and um he he
loved [ __ ] with this guy next to me
cuz he was 30 years old, not in the best
shape and they and they just they loved
[ __ ] with him. And like they came up
to him one time was a hygiene
inspection. So we're all we're not
naked. We're in our like whitey tidies
showing our nails and they're like, "Oh,
you suck. You blah blah blah." You know,
blah blah blah. And they come up to him
and go, "Let's say his name's
Ben." He go, "Oh, not Ben. Let's say his
name's Jones or whatever." They go,
"Jones. What the [ __ ] is wrong with you,
boy? You look You look so [ __ ]
disgusting." He's like, "This recruits.
No, sir." And he's like, "Oh my god, are
you married? Who married you? You piece
of [ __ ] You're just so g You look."
He's like, "It's what Kurt's wife loves,
sir." Oh, I bet she does. I bet she
loves Jody. Is your wife back home with
Jod right now? No, she's not, sir. Oh, I
bet she is. Say she is. No, she's not,
sir. I bet she is. And he just keeps
going. He keeps going. He keeps going.
And the guy just starts crying. And when
he eventually cries, he goes, "God damn
it. Your daddy should have pulled out
and shot at your mama's mouth." And when
he said that, I go and he cracked me.
Just like laid me laid me on the I I
like woke I was starched. I woke up and
I was just like and he goes, "Looks like
you fell recruit." And I was like, "This
recruit fell." I couldn't help him. Like,
Like,
>> talk about a [ __ ] punchline.
>> Yeah, dude. It was I was I was I was
like I I couldn't see anything. I could
smell time. It was It was upset. Like I
Cuz I was I just I was because he just
kept he just kept getting into him and I
was starting to shake. So when he
finally hit it, it was over. It was
crazy though. I I couldn't imagine going
uh I guess I could do it when I was
older now because I have No, I don't
know. I don't know what that would suck
going in that old at the bottom. The
absolute bottom.
>> I like I like listening to the different
generations. Like the generation before
was like basic training sucks. They're
not even allowed to beat the [ __ ] out of
you guys anymore. And then like now our
generation is like you guys get cell
phones. The [ __ ] >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
Uh 2012.
>> Yeah. When did they drop cell phones?
Like uh
14, 15, 16, something like that. I know
cuz Rich said he he deals with it now.
And it's it's just a tool he uses to
punish people is what he told me. He
likes that aspect of it, but I he takes
it away from him because they only get
like a certain amount of time. Honestly,
I like not having it. You could just
focus on that one singular task. I have
to call home and be reminded that you're
And I guess I don't I wonder if they do
this the phone call from home where they
call you. They like run you through a
phone bank and they're like, "That's
got a pair of
>> 15 seconds to scream the mailing address."
address."
>> It was awesome, dude. So, it's so weird.
We had a cell phone a guy snuck in that
we that uh we put in the bottom of a
seabag and we false we made a false
bottom. We put duct tape on it. There's
this boy from Louisiana. He was shy like
he he had tricks. He had tricks. But he
like taped a false bottom in the
seabbacks whenever they would dump it.
There was nothing would fall out. And I
I actually called Christy on it and
she's like, "What are you doing?" I was
like, "I'll see you on graduation." Like
and it was a week before we graduated.
So like I knew it was in the bag at that
point. And I was like, "You better be
there, girl." And I'll be there looking
sharp as hell with my BCGs and my
uniform on.
>> Oh, you had BCGs? I forget you had uh
not LASIC, but whatever that ice was. Yeah,
Yeah,
>> dude. And I did not So, I was born with
I was nearsighted and I had an aigmatism.
aigmatism.
And so, going up through Memphis City
Public Schools until I got to third
grade, I didn't know I needed glasses.
when I would tell the teacher I couldn't
see the board, they would just move me
closer to the board. And this one
teacher was like, "This child needs
glasses." So then I got glasses and I
then I had them from then on and
contacts in high school. But uh
>> cuz like our PRK and LASIK is different
and I hear like a bunch of sketchy [ __ ]
about LASIK about how like
>> some people just like have permanent eye
pain or some people go blind. I think
wasn't Whistling Diesel the YouTuber did
like a big video on Lasic that like
[ __ ] him up for a while.
>> Pro I mean probably I don't I mean I
think LAS has really grown in leaps and
bounds, but in the military specifically
they don't do it because they did it on
some SEALs. This is a legend. They did
it on some SEALs who did a halo jump and
their flaps opened and they didn't know
that that could happen. Either they went
too early or like they weren't healed
all the way. I don't know exactly, but
they were like, "Ah." And their cornea
flaps like came open like 20 thou. So a
halo is over 20,000 ft in the air.
>> I think I would just take a knee, you
know, if I'm blind 20,000 ft in the air.
I'm like, man, this sucks. But PRK, they
just shape your whole eye. So it was
just like a I got it done in between deployments.
deployments.
Literally, I lay down, look at the
light, look at the light,
set up, and I could see perfectly. And
they laid me back down. They did the
same thing. 20 minutes from start to finish.
finish.
>> How long do you have like light
sensitivity or whatever?
>> I still have light sensitivity to this
day. But not bad. It just This is the
only negative. If it's like around 5:00
and we're going out, I'll take sunglasses.
sunglasses.
>> You won't need most people don't need
them because But it just get it just
makes me like a little bit uncomfortable.
uncomfortable.
>> That's it. So what? I wear sunglasses
longer and I look cooler longer. Oh well.
well.
Like that's why sometimes on podcast
like I'll I'll have to wear them because
like my eyes are just a little sensitive
but like there are worse things than
always being cool.
But when I went into boot camp and uh
they gave me my BCGs, which I still
have, they didn't have the stigmatism
lensing in them and I put them on and
the corman the doc's like here you go.
And I was like I put them on. I was like
hey these aren't right. And he's like no
no that's your prescription. We did it.
And I was like, "I know, but I have an
aigmatism. Like, this doesn't happen."
He goes, "Oh, yeah, that machine's
broken. You're just going to have to
make do." I was like, "What do you mean
make do? I can't My my eye cannot focus
on an object. It lacks the ability to."
He's like, "Yeah, that sucks. Have fun."
I almost didn't qualify on the rifle
range because of it. >> Damn.
>> Damn.
Because like literally, you know, front
sight post, clear sight pitcher, all
that. I
>> You can't focus on post. I can't focus
on the sight post. And so I I ran
through rifle range once, right? And
they they're like, "Hey, you're going to
have to you're going to have to run the
range again." And I finally like I got a
little bit of courage when I was
rerunning the range the second time. So,
and I like looked at this this guy and
he like comes up behind me, kicks me,
goes, "What's wrong with you?" And I go,
"I have an aigmatism. I can't focus."
And he goes, "Well, that makes sense
because my groups were together, but
they were all just like
>> all over not all over the place. They
weren't where they should be.
>> Where they should be." Yeah.
>> Cuz I was guessing cuz I could see it,
but I can't like literally it's like
it's like a c like a
>> I can make the bullet hit the same spot.
I just can't see the spot.
>> Tell me which spot. And he literally was
like and he went to the drone. He's like
he like I remember being like this kid
can't [ __ ] see. Like and he's
pointing to me. And there was this other
guy who like sadly didn't make it
through. He got rerun and then he
started saying a stigmatism too. So they
like checked his med records because he
he didn't even know what the word was
but he was like oh I've got I've got
that. I've got I've got stigmatism too. Like
Like
>> that was not his case at all. They cuz
they verified it at that point. They're
like they're like yeah Belle has an
aigmatism blah blah blah. And they're
like close one of your eyes. And they're like
like
>> it's in both of his eyes. Like it's not
severe but it's just enough where I
can't focus. And you know, we're doing
iron sights, too. So, you gota get
there. Just get there. And he got behind
me and he literally was like, "Shift
left." Like literally like hit my foot.
Like I'm in the thing and he's like,
"Shift." And I was like, "Okay,
marksman." Sucked, but got expert every
time after that. it cuz I could see. But
it was I just remember having this real
life moment being like if I don't become
a marine because I can't see the thing
and I told them I can't I'm going to be
a nightmare of a person like I might sue
them you know like cuz it was like
upsetting because you don't know if
they're really going to like take you
serious or stuff because there's so
again the guy next to me was like
stigmatism here too so so much a
stigmatism but Yeah.
It's funny putting them on though. I
have them. I have a photo of me with
them on. They look ridiculous.
>> They're awesome.
>> They They are awesome. Do you know that?
That's why I have a WY X contract. Do
you know that? >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> I know the lore. I've seen the picture.
>> It's great. For anyone who doesn't know,
I wore WY X glasses that were
prescription my first tour and they're
ballistic. And there's this photo that
was taken of me and and they were like,
"Cool." And I came back home. It was in
the Marine Corps Times. I didn't know
this. If the DoD takes a picture, they
own it forever. And anyone can use it
cuz it's free.
>> That's what pissed I get so pissed about that.
that.
>> I don't like it either.
>> No, I get pissed off for a different reason.
reason.
>> So like the pictures taken with
government funds by a government
photographer. It's public domain, right?
I know the guy's name.
>> There's entire websites that you can get
on and it's just thousands and thousands
of pictures, video footage, all this [ __ ]
[ __ ]
>> And that's what I put in a lot of my Fat
Electrician videos for like the the
B-roll, like history. I'm talking about
Sherman Tank. There's Sherman Tank
footage that was taken back in the 1940s
by the government. That's public domain.
It was paid for with US tax dollars. I
can [ __ ] use it.
>> I don't need permission. It's not
copyright. None of that [ __ ]
>> There's [ __ ] companies, and there's a
[ __ ] ton of them. They have entire
YouTube channels, all kinds of [ __ ] All
they do is they go to these websites
where the government has already
provided the [ __ ] material and they
run it through their
enhancing software to make it [ __ ] 5%
more clear or whatever. And then because
they ran it through their software, now
they have copyright and you have to
[ __ ] go and they're like, "Oh yeah,
you can use our video footage for 45
[ __ ] dollars. and then which is
whatever. Like that's shitty. Sure. But
like as long as I still have access to
the other [ __ ] it's fine. I'll buy my
own software. But what's shitty is these
companies will then get on YouTube and
like they'll try to copyright strike me
saying that I'm using their footage and
I have to go to YouTube and be like,
"No, this is [ __ ] public domain owned
by the government." >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> His version is 5% more clear because of
his software or whatever. I got it from
the National Archives.
>> [ __ ] off. There's companies that that's
their whole model.
>> Yes, that's their whole thing. It drives
me [ __ ] insane.
>> I hate them. I So, I know I only know a
little bit about this because I don't
want to name anyone, but my photo still
is used by the Marine Corps to this day.
It's in like online training. It's in
like packets. It's in stuff. But in like
the 13, 14s, 15s when I was applying for
college, uh, grad school in particular,
my photo was directly linked to like
veteran memes and and like all this
stuff. And basically, I didn't I didn't
like that my image was being used for
the generation of money for other
companies that I have no association
with. and uh just in general because at
the time I was applying for grad school
at a very small Christian university and
I didn't want to I didn't want them to
like uh
see my photo Zachary Bell and then like
a photo of me with comments being like
[ __ ] kill them all you know like
yeah wars hell and it's just like me and
then they also did weird stuff to it
they like put like you know what is it
called the tens is that the decade
Remember when people put like Instagram
filters and every the filters
>> deep fried?
>> Yeah. Like and it's like you know
>> it became a deep fried meme
>> a little bit. Yeah. I'll show you the
stuff. I don't want to talk about who it
is. But like I just and like I even
contacted them. I was like, "Hey man,
you got to take this down." And like one
guy wrote me back. He's like, "Do you
not like patriotism? Do you not like
this?" And I was like, "Dude, I'm trying
to get into grad school. I don't want to
be associated with you. Take the photo
down." And that was when I found out
that it's public domain because the guy
who took the photo, went to combat
camera, continued his career to this day
in the Marine Corps, does really cool
stuff now. Um, good friend of mine. Uh,
but like he's like, "As long as they say
that I took the photo somewhere in the
photo, they can use it." And I was just
like, "This sucks." But WY X found out
about it. They found out about Veteran
with a sign and they're like, "You're a
boy." And I loved them.
Love all their glasses actually.
>> I like it.
>> It's too It's You know, life's weird
like that though. I couldn't have
anticipated that. Would have been nice
if I got a little bit of that General
Dynamics Humvey money, though.
>> That's the first That's the one like ad
in the uh
>> Oh, really?
>> The one in my office. It's a Humvey ad
from the Marine Corps Times that um my
parents had uh they cut it out and they
framed it and I was like, "That's really
cool." Like, it's just cool. But then I
the more I think about it and I was like
that's like a that's like a billion dollars.
dollars.
>> When I went to basic training uh every
company it was like it had to have been
first because it was so rough. Um every
company or um every company had like a
Facebook page so you didn't I didn't
have a phone but like they were taking
pictures of us doing [ __ ] and they would
post it on the Facebook page and so like
you could tell your family like oh hey
here's this Facebook page you can see
pictures of us whatever whatever.
Uh, I come home, there's a [ __ ]
picture of a white dude that kind of
looks like me on my parents' fridge. I'm
like, why the [ __ ] you got a picture of
Jones on the fridge? That's not you. No,
that's not me. It's another white guy
wearing [ __ ] safety glasses.
>> Come on, mom.
That's not your child.
>> Dad's like, "Told you."
>> Lit. Literally, what happened?
>> I'm going to go pee in the garage.
I'm going to go pee in the garage.
That's what he does. Since you left,
your father doesn't stop peeing in the garage.
Yeah. Uh, dude, I there's there's like
one or two photos of me in boot camp.
They're not flattering at for some
reason at that time in the boot camp yearbook,
yearbook,
the like PT photos in particular,
they're all like black and white. This
is 2007, by the way. Like,
>> first of all, [ __ ] off. At least the
Marine Corps uniform is so much better
than the Army ACU uniform.
>> Those uniforms have always sucked.
>> I'm running around in [ __ ] Minecraft
outfit with fuzzy patch here. Fuzzies
fuzzies like
>> no green on green, baby. Just sweats.
Just a sweat top, sweat bottom.
>> So much better.
>> So it's it's Dude, it's old. The whole
time I was wearing I was like this is
like classic. Like this it works. Like
you just put it on, it matches. This
goes on top. This goes on bottom. No
pockets. That's the only thing. But you
can't put your hands in your pockets
anyways. But there's one photo of me and
we're we're on a parallel bars and
there's like eight of us on parallel
bars and we're doing a hold while
someone else is completing a circuit in
front of us. And this is the face I'm making.
making.
And like I had a very similar thing. It
was a photo that somebody my family got
a hold of and they like cut it out and
they're like look it's our it's our
warrior at boot camp. I'm like that's
what you chose? My head shaved. I have
goofy BCGs. I'm just like, it's not a
strong look. It's the opposite of a
strong look.
>> I buzzed my head from like
third grade through forever,
>> high school.
>> Yeah. Like I would literally just rub
tremors on my head.
>> Yeah. A wall.
>> Yeah. Like that's how my hair all was
all my like teenage years all through
high school. So I show up to basic
training with a buzz cut already cuz
that's what I've been doing for 10 years.
years.
>> Mhm. And then they were all [ __ ] mad
like I was trying to get ahead of the
game. Still made me sit down for a
[ __ ] haircut. When I got there, I was
like, "Okay, neat. You shaved off that
much hair. I'm heartbroken. Everybody
else is [ __ ] crying and [ __ ]
>> Thank you, sir. Can I have another?"
>> Also, I had I had uh
I think I was like one of the first
iterations to go through where it was
like co-ed. So, I had females at basic
training with me. And one of the crazier
parts was you had girls showing up with
like [ __ ] cotton candy blue hair. >> Really?
>> Really?
>> Yeah. So then it's like when they go to
the barber, they had to actually sit
down and like get their hair colored for
[ __ ] six. That's like an all day event.
event. >> Mhm.
>> Mhm.
>> So it was like
>> I know.
>> Yeah. Like those girls were like getting
cycled through the barber shop for like
days because every [ __ ] hair color
takes how many hours or whatever from a
professional. So they and they had to
pay out of their own pocket to have
their hair recolored to a natural color.
I was like, that's
>> that's where my tax dollars went.
>> I don't like it. I never
>> No. No. They had to pay for it.
>> They paid They They paid for it.
>> Yeah. Basic training. You got to pay You
get like I think they give you like a
little uh prepaid credit card that's
like 300 bucks and it comes out of your
first or second paycheck or whatever it
is just so you have money to get there.
And like they take you to the PX and
they're like, "Here's your shopping
list. You have to have everything on
this list."
>> We don't we didn't get that till the
end. Okay.
>> You got all of that stuff at the end for
us. So, like basically we were working
on credit and they deducted it. >> Gotcha.
>> Gotcha.
>> They're like, you have you thought you
had like 10 grand. Actually, you you
have like four. Yeah. And it's like a
kick in the teeth. It's an absolute kick
in the teeth. I wish I'd done the thrift
savings plan, but I you didn't have
I didn't have extra dollars to throw
around. But do you know about Finance
and Maneuver? >> No.
>> No.
>> The clothing brand company? I've heard
of it.
>> The guy who started that was a Marine.
He got out and he uh he had this idea.
He's like, "Why don't I help Marines
take their TSP plans and move them to a
different fund, something that's
actually working for them and will make
them more money?" And then he went to
like one of these companies like Mass
Mutual or something like that and he was
like, "Hey, I've got a whole untapped
market for you like that you can like
literally make gamechanging money." And
he like pitched it to this guy. He's
like, "I'll do it in like six months.
I'll hit this goal." And he's like, "All
right, buddy. You think you can do it?
Blah blah blah." He hit it in like half
the time. And then he had all this money
and then he's like, "Oh, I'm now going
to launch a brand called Finance
Maneuver, the clothing brand where he
just does um what was it called? Drops.
He just does drops and just crushes and
then moves on to the next thing. Does
the Tesla giveaways, all that jazz."
>> Great guy. Crushes though. But it was
literally just like, "Let me move all
move this stuff out of TS." Most people
forget about it when you get out if you
don't cash it out. Move it over here.
Boom. And it's a nightmare to try to move.
move.
>> It is. It is. But he he figured it out.
Like he had the whole system and the
basically the company took on like all
the risk associated with it because they
just didn't want to touch it
>> and blah blah blah. But he's he's crushing
crushing >> good.
>> good.
>> Yeah. Possible business model you should
>> I already sell t-shirts.
>> Yeah, you sell t-shirts. You do okay.
You do all right. I'm worried. >> Why?
>> Why?
>> I'm not worried.
The kids are The kids are going to be okay.
okay.
>> Cutter's wearing his Quackbang t-shirt
right now.
>> Yeah. No, it's it's it's great. I I like
the idea of them going to school be
like, "My dad made this."
>> Dude, the amount of emails I get where
it's like, "My 13-year-old son was sent
home because he was wearing one of your
shirts." Cracks me up.
>> Is it really that many?
>> A lot.
>> None of your shirts are like violent.
I've had kids sent home for like shirts
that like
>> I wouldn't think like I could Okay, it's
never a war crime the first time. All
right. Or like if I have
>> if I have a gun on it or something like
I I think that's stupid, but like I
understand. Oh, we have a no gun policy.
Whatever. But like I've had kids get
sent home just for the fat electrician
logo because it's a bomb. It's like
>> they did that to me. She wore like a
Halloween It was like Halloween so you
were able to like wear a costume or wear
a Halloween shirt.
>> Yeah. She wore a cartoon version of like
Michael Myers, No Knife, Nothing, and a
bunch of other like serial killers, but
they're all cartoon kid versions of it.
Sent home.
>> Kind of sounds like a cheat code for a
free day. Honestly, it's not bad. You're
like, "What? They sent my child home?" Bastards.
>> My bad. My bad, dog.
>> I'm going to be a nightmare for my kids
schools. I can already tell >> it's
>> it's
it's it's a lot.
>> You decided on public or private?
>> Uh I think they're going to the private
school here in town.
It's so cheap in Iowa.
>> Well, doesn't hurt to learn about the
Lord while you're there. I mean, it's
not cheap, but compared to like what I
hear from like you in Nashville or like,
you know, what John's doing in Texas,
it's like, "Oh, I could send both my
kids to school for half that of what one
kid is somewhere else."
>> Well, the the dance in most places is
like, so where we live, so you either
like live in Nashville proper and then
you send your kids to private school or
you live south or in a different part of
Nashville, you pay more than if you
lived in Nashville proper but use the
public schools. The public schools are
great. So like that's the cost
difference. Like they get you one way or
the other, right? Because we looked at
it and you know our our public schools
are like top in the state, top in the
nation, like top 20. And so I'm like,
"Yeah, we're doing that." Like we're all
in on that, but it costs more to live
there just for that. That's a good use
of my tax dollars. I'm okay with that.
That makes sense to me. Um but it's I
mean the I remember dude, wait till you
go to your first orientation.
Have I ever told you this kindergarten story?
story? >> No,
>> No,
>> I never told you. All right, so we go to
this orientation
and like
first off, we had kids when we were
younger. Everyone's at least 10 years
older than me and Christy at least. And
I'm being kind, it was closer to 15 to
20, some of them. Some of them it's
their second go at life these marriages.
So, like there's a lot of like wealthy
older people and stuff and younger wives
and older dudes and
you know, like I can hear one guy
walking in. He's like, "I've been doing
this for like 20 years." Like in the
kindergarten orientation like he
literally was like, he's like, "I've
done this before, Stacy." You know, like
and she's like, "Come on, I'm excited.
Abigail's so excited to see what he like
didn't even want to sit down." And it's
so demeaning because like it's a
kindergarten room so you sit down in the
little kindergarten chairs and I was
just like h like this and like the old
guy I remember he couldn't even sit
down. He's like I'm not sitting down in
that thing. He's like I'm the head of
whatever you know.
But we're like in there and they're like
talking about the rules and stuff and
you know I went up and we met the
teacher. She's very kind, became a
friend of ours. And um she's like,
"Well, um your wife said that, you know,
um you like do some stuff helping
veterans stuff. Were you in the
military?" I was like, "Yeah, I was in
the military." And blah blah blah. And
she's like, "Well, thank you for your
service. You're very, very kind." And
then I'll never forget this. This guy
next to me goes, "Yeah, I played
baseball in college."
I was like, "What?" He goes, "Yeah, I
you know, I didn't go I didn't go pro,
but D1 college baseball." I was like,
"That's that's
>> weird a weird dick measuring contest.
>> That's great. Thank you, sir." And like
he walked off and she just looked at me.
She goes, "That was weird."
And like that's basically like how it
went the whole time was like I was
around people who would say like stuff
and I would just be like, "Are people
[ __ ] with me?"
>> I'm so embarrassed to have to say I'm a YouTuber.
YouTuber.
>> You shouldn't be, but it does make
people go.
>> It's It's like
>> YouTube's the smallest thing you do with
your time. It's like it's just oh what
what do you do? I just my default answer
I make videos on the internet. Oh, like
you work for a media company? I kind of
Yeah, I just like I make videos. Oh,
like what? I make YouTube videos.
>> This always happens. See the the the the
long pull? It always happens
>> every time. It's like I make YouTube
videos. Oh, you're an in are you an influencer?
influencer?
>> That's how they say it. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> What is it you do, Bob?
>> Technically, I'm an influencer. And 99%
of the time, if it's another grown ass
adult, they look at me and they don't
say anything. But the look says, "Oh,
[ __ ] this guy sits at home all day
naked eating Cheetos, [ __ ] off on his
computer, and his wife is like a doctor
or something. That explains everything."
And the next question every time, "What
does your wife do?"
>> Yeah. Dr. Hannah, medicine woman.
>> Yeah. Default answer every time, me.
What? She's a stay-at-home mom. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> So, you you pay all your bills with
YouTube? Yes. It's like
>> it just it's I have a very similar thing
cuz like
>> when you're here, you're around normal
people, too. We're the only ones that
have this. Yeah.
>> Everyone in Texas is around Texas
creator people, right?
>> They're friends. They're family. This
the subculture. It's all Texas creator people.
people.
>> But like, you're around normals and so
am I. So, when I'm on these cheer trips,
they're like, "What does he do for a
living?" Same thing. I just, you know,
I'm I makes I make videos. I usually say
I make videos online or I do online
marketing just to try and
>> not have the conversation.
>> I don't I don't want to talk about it.
And it's always the women are usually
the moms, I should say, are usually
like, "Okay, that sounds cool. That's
great. Whatever." To be honest, I have
found out that the women as soon as you
say that, they're like, "I'll look this
up later and investigate." And um uh the
dads are like, "What does that mean?"
And then that's that's where it's always
like, okay. And I'm like, well, I do
this. Well, what does that mean? How how
do you make money doing that? It's how
do you make money? I'm like, well,
there's, you know,
>> the inability of like boomers and older
to comprehend that you can make money on
the internet blows my mind. I will
>> explain in I was like I here's here's
how I explain it. I go,
>> you know, the business model of TV like
you watch a TV show for the show, but
ads play during the show. Well, the show
makes money by you watching the ad, and
they make more money the more people
watch. The more people that watch the
ads, the more money they make. It's the
same exact business model,
>> but for YouTube videos, and they're
like, "Yeah, I don't get it." How the
[ __ ] do you not understand?
>> I just explained the deal.
>> I just You've been watching TV since TVs
were [ __ ] invented.
>> What is not adding up here? >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. >> Like,
>> Like,
>> you were there when we put a man on the
moon. Come on. like you understand it,
but they never do it. There's a few
times where it's been like
uh like where the lines have blurred
like uh we were at Disney and we were we
were people I'd known forever and
there's this guy he's actually he used
to own a construction company up in
Wisconsin. He's a great dude and um I've
known him and his family and his
daughter forever. like our kids
basically grew up together and we were
watching the Super Bowl at Disney uh for
the thing and I was like, "Dude, I got
to travel tomorrow." And he's like,
"What are you doing, bud?" And I was
like, "I got to go to San Diego." He's
like, "What are you doing like podcast
and stuff?" I was like, "Yeah." And he
he like looks at me and he goes, "Are
you doing Jaco?" I go, "Yeah, I'm doing
Jaco." He goes, "What the you're doing
Joo?" And then his wife goes, "You're
doing Jaco?" And Christie was like,
"Yeah, he's doing like a podcast. It's
like whatever." And she he's like, "No,
he's doing Jaco. That's a big deal." And
I was like, "Yeah, I I I'm doing unsub
again." And the you're going to be on
like it was just like it was like all my
worlds like collided at once and then
like I had like massive street cred like
after that. But it was just there aren't
many times. The rest of it's just like
he just like goofs off with his friends
and they like shoot guns. He goes to
Texas sometimes or Iowa sometimes.
But it's it's funny when you find like
dads in the no and they're like, "Hey,
is is Nick like this?" It kind of I'm
always like, "Don't don't call him Nick.
>> Don't call him Nick." I don't say that, but
but
>> call me Nick.
>> My my my first You can't call him Nick.
My first thought is like, "He's my Nick.
He's my Nick."
>> Are you embarrassed about it or you just
don't want to go through the explanation
of like trying to make people comprehend
and understand?
>> It's for me it's twofold. I'm not
embarrassed by it at all. I'm not
embarrassed by I've done way worse jobs.
Like honestly, when I was stirring [ __ ]
and it was on fire in Afghanistan, that
felt like bottom barrel. Like literally
bottom of the barrel [ __ ] because it was
like I was just like, "Oh, you really
wanted to be funny in high school. Here
we are." Um, and it's just that
generation, right? It's the boomer
generation because
>> anyone over 35
>> like our kids think it's the coolest
thing ever. Like when they when they see
Uncle Zach on TV >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> they're just they're locked in. and they
think it's the coolest freaking thing.
>> Yeah. My daughters downplay it, but all
their friends are like, "That's cool."
Like, cuz they'll be like, "That's
cool." But, uh, the thing that some of
them are very are very cool.
Overwhelmingly, the majority is just
like for me it's uncomfortable.
Especially when I'm stuff doing stuff
with the kids, like at their sports,
because like
I get enough attention to last me a
hundred lifetimes. So, when I'm in dad
mode, I just want to be dad. You know
what I'm saying? And when they're doing
their sports and everything, I just want
it to be about them. I don't want to be
about like, well, yeah, I'm going up to
Iowa to hang out with Nick and Nick and
we're going to shoot guns and blah blah.
Like, there's sometimes where I just
want to be Zach the dad. And those are
the times where I really want to do it
cuz I feel it feels, this is just my
feeling. I feel like I'm being selfish
and kind of taken away a little bit from
their thing. And like when I'm there
with them, it they're the most important
thing in the world. I'm literally not
doing stuff
or I say no to stuff or I'll leave early
or come home late just so I can be with
them because that's my priority and so
that's that's just my position on it.
What do you think? >> Uh
>> Uh
I don't get tired of explaining it. It's
just I don't know. It's it's a weird
thing to explain. It's just like
I feel like people have a tendency to
not like or criticize something they
don't understand. And there's a high
amount of people that don't understand
it so they criticize it. If that makes sense.
sense.
>> So it's just like I don't know what he
does. Like I've gotten to the point with
older people like they'll be like
you have a nice car. How do you afford?
[ __ ] it. I deal drugs. Is that is that
an easier explanation for you? I'm a
drug dealer. Like,
>> yeah, it's
>> online marketing.
>> I just do online marketing.
>> Online marketing.
>> I I do online marketing because like
>> Oh, are you the reason every time I talk
about something I get ads for it for the
next three weeks?
>> Kind of.
>> That's where that conversation's going
to go.
>> Kind of.
>> You're listening to me on my phone.
>> If it's cool stuff, yeah. If you want to
get hydrated, if you want to get some
protein, then yeah. No, I just you're it
feels like demeaning with old like older
people they have like a passive
aggressiveness of like because they do
feel like we cheated a little bit
because you're outside the box. That's
really what it is. I I found that
there's two camps. People that are like
that's cool.
>> I kind of hate you.
>> Yeah. There's there's definitely the
people that can be like, "That's
awesome. I'm really happy for you." And
then people that are like,
>> "That's [ __ ] You're not going
through the same type of struggles that
the rest of us are." which is not true
at all. Like this this right here,
>> it's true. It's just different
struggles. I mean, it's a different
struggle, right? It's a different It's a
different hard. I wouldn't [ __ ] trade
you, just to be clear. I'm not
complaining. I vastly prefer this.
>> Because people see the end product. They
don't see, you know, the editing, the
back and forth, the conversations with
sponsors. How do you get sponsors? when
you gave away essentially how you create
a video, I was blown away by the amount
of research you do, the amount of like
cross like cross referencing you do
amongst, you know, books, you know,
Reddit threads,
interviews, like it is insane. I'm like
>> that is hours and hours and hours of of
your time and then
>> you haven't even created the video yet.
So people think it's easy, but once you
get into the weeds of it and you really
like put together your first video, bro,
the shitty That's not even the shitty
part. Like that part is like that's just
the grunt work of it. Like the sh and
I'm not complaining again. I'm not
trying to make anybody feel sorry for
me. This is the best job on the planet.
I'm the luckiest guy in the world. The
hard part is after doing it for [ __ ]
years is like
a big part of you wishes you could just
like I could go back to being an
electrician cuz it's like I know how to
do it. >> Mhm.
>> Mhm.
>> And I just get to show up and I get to
do it and then I get to go home. But
like every time I finish a video it's
like okay cool. I did all the grunt work
and whatever. But now it's like now I
have to find the new topic and make it
creative again. Like being creative
backto back over and over again is
really [ __ ] hard.
>> This is exactly why I say my last job
will be working at the local rec center,
putting air into basketballs, wiping
down gym equipment. I'll walk in at 8,
I'll leave at 5 and you won't even know
I existed.
>> But like when I was an electrician, I'd
hear I'd like watch like I was watching
the movie Limitless. Like everybody's
seen that [ __ ] movie, right? And it's
like, oh, he's bitching that he has
writer's block. What? He gets to hang
out at home all day and write a book.
[ __ ] Boohoo. And it's like, all
right, I kind of [ __ ] get it now.
It's [ __ ] difficult.
>> Yeah, it is. It is hard. And like
because I just always think of it as
it's like you're you're on a path and
then you do a thing and then it's like
>> there's no more path.
>> There is no path.
>> Well, but the path is the path you made.
>> [ __ ] I got to figure it out.
>> Now I have to make more path and then
walk a few more steps forward and then
it's like, well, I know how to go back.
I can how can't dig, you know, you can't
walk that road to me. You can do a few
things. There's a few layups I can do,
you know, but like
>> you can't go into autopilot. You can't
just show up. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. You you can you could chill out
for a couple days, but like
>> you're already behind.
>> Not with YouTube, man. the the YouTube
algorithm is like if if I don't upload
every two weeks, the YouTube like if I
go past 16 day I've like experimented
enough with this to know if I upload and
that upload is any longer than 16 days
from the last upload, that video is
going to bomb. It's it could be a great
video, it's automatically going to do
bad just because it was so much time in between.
between.
>> Well, it's because it it knows when to feed.
feed.
>> Yeah. So, you just have this like
constant feeling of impending doom of
like, okay, upload,
[ __ ] 16 days on the clock.
>> The clock has started.
>> Yeah, it's like 24, >> right?
>> right?
>> No. Well, and it's it's so funny, too,
because uh is it you that says it, we're
all just uh or I can't remember if
somebody said it and it stuck in my
head, but we're all just uh one
algorithm change from being out of the job.
job.
>> Oh, yeah. We all say that.
>> Yeah. Like it's just like cuz like right
now like they could be like you know
what YouTube doesn't like this anymore.
Here's what we like. We like diagonal
videos now. And
>> no you feel like you're on a like when
you're an influencer you feel like
you're on a [ __ ] game show cuz it's
like every morning
I could wake up and YouTube just
decided, you know what?
[ __ ] this guy. Delete. Gone.
>> Going back to work. Or like they could
look at your look at your sponsor and be like
like
yellow. Actually, not yellow, red. What?
Why? We don't like him.
>> It happened. Uh Brandon almost got
deleted over that.
>> Which what sponsor was it?
>> It wasn't a sponsor. It was uh they
changed their firearms policy.
>> Oh yeah.
>> It was when they changed their firearms
policy to you're not allowed to have
automatic guns on the platform. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Which Okay, cool. I know that rule
moving forward. I can abide by it. I
think it's a stupid rule, but I can play
the game. >> Grandfather,
>> Grandfather,
>> right? They didn't grandfather anything
in. So Brandon, who had 300 videos
shooting machine guns, they all just
started going red and giving him
strikes. He got like three You get three
strikes, you're out, they delete your
YouTube channel.
>> Game over.
>> He got three strikes in like 12 hours.
And he's like, "What do you What do you
guys want me to do? You want me to
delete my whole back catalog of YouTube
channel?" like and then enough enough
people in similar situations are like,
"Oh yeah, I guess we can't do that.
We'll grandfather these ones in and
these are the rules moving forward." But
it's just like
>> you're constantly living on like, "Oh,
the one dude making, you know, 100 grand
at YouTube across the planet who doesn't
know anything about guns, interpreted
something about guns,
[ __ ] gone."
>> That's it. Because you're on the
bleeding edge.
>> Yeah. And I mean the very
>> my channel got in trouble because um
>> they got really weird when the Ukraine
Russian thing first kicked off about
showing war footage and they did not
discriminate war footage from war
footage. So like when I'm showing war
footage from World War II, they're like
that's combat footage.
You're in trouble. And it's like I
there's a vast difference between me
showing a recruiting video from World
War II with the guy with the our boys
are going over to the Pacific theater to
blah blah blah blah and like showing
drone footage of some dude that died 48
hours ago like
>> Yeah. It's
it it feels
>> it's a sense of impending doom.
>> Yeah, because like and I I went to one
of their uh one of their locations. It
was actually the I'm sure there's cooler
ones, but for me it's probably the
coolest one that I could think of. I
went to, you know, one of their creator
events in Culver City last year um at
the Spruce Goose location. So, it's
where Howard Hughes had the Spruce Goose
and they turned it into a YouTube place.
So, it's still a huge like aircraft
hanger. And like I was in there and I
was like, I'm just don't want I don't
want to make the overlords mad. And at
that time they're like, "Shorts, push
shorts, push shorts, shorts, shorts, shorts."
shorts."
Long story short, shorts was not the
move. They're like, "There's no
different al there's there's no
different algorithm. YouTube loves the
shorts and it loves the long form."
Negative. No, YouTube wants you to do
shorts because it keeps you on platform
longer and they pay the creator the
least. That's also the scary part is
like you go to YouTube for help on
something and you realize very quickly
there's like one dude at YouTube that
knows how that algorithm works and
you're never going to get to talk to
him. You go to talk to these people and
you're like that's that's not correct. No
No >> no
>> no
>> no. And then like it in
>> this was the head of shorts of North America.
America.
>> In hindsight it makes sense because it's
like oh if you knew how to do this
>> you would be doing it.
>> Okay perfect. I'm nobody knows anything.
So then it's like that's how you end up
being friends with other YouTubers. It's
like, "Hey, have you ever done this?
How'd it go?" "Okay, cool." And then you
just basically exchange fuckups that
you've made back and forth so you don't
have to make the same mistake.
>> That's what Jimmy talks about is he had
like a creator hub of friends initially
and they just AB tested everything,
which is what we all do now. It's like,
"What do you think of this?" blah blah
blah blah blah. But like
cuz I know a big thing YouTube and all
the platforms say this, there's no one
who controls the algorithm. It just does
its own thing. There's no buttons for
it. There's no prompts. And I go, "Well,
that's not true. There's no way that the
all powerful algorithm is just let loose
on its own. Eventually, it'll probably
become like sentient and like take over,
but like you mean to tell me that all of
the late night shows just wound up on
the homepage for no reason? Stuff that
I've been want to talk to you about this
forever. Want to talk to you about this
forever." Coar gets canceled, right?
>> Okay. Do you know how many views he was
getting a month? Per episode. 41
episodes. Give me a view average a
month. What do you think it was? >> 30,000.
>> 30,000.
>> Allegedly his average on CBS, it I think
it's CBS was like 2 million. >> Okay.
>> Okay. >> Right. And so I got the mistake of like
>> Right. And so I got the mistake of like they were like canceling it and I like
they were like canceling it and I like went on one of those pages. I was like,
went on one of those pages. I was like, "Real talk, who's actually watching this
"Real talk, who's actually watching this stuff?" And the comments were like,
stuff?" And the comments were like, "People with class, people who like love
"People with class, people who like love this, people who aren't afraid of
this, people who aren't afraid of Trump." And I was like, "Okay, so
Trump." And I was like, "Okay, so realistically, he got
realistically, he got not that many views per month. I made
not that many views per month. I made more than that on Instagram and Meta.
more than that on Instagram and Meta. Like, what are we talking about here?"
Like, what are we talking about here?" And they're like, "Well, it's always
And they're like, "Well, it's always trending on the homepage of YouTube. How
trending on the homepage of YouTube. How does it get there? The algorithm ch
does it get there? The algorithm ch there's that many people looking for
there's that many people looking for late night with Stephen Cobear." No,
late night with Stephen Cobear." No, >> gets a little push. Gets a little paid
>> gets a little push. Gets a little paid push, right? probably paid advertising
push, right? probably paid advertising most likely, but like all the clips are
most likely, but like all the clips are viral online. I've never seen one of
viral online. I've never seen one of them. Not a day in my life. Not one day
