Watch on YouTube

Video summary

The video features a reaction and discussion of the second episode of *Band of Brothers*, titled "Day of Days," which depicts the intense and chaotic events of D-Day in Normandy. The hosts express that this episode is significantly heavier and more emotionally impactful than the first, anticipating numerous character deaths as they transition from training to actual combat behind enemy lines. They praise the show's cinematography, particularly the lighting and camera work that effectively convey the stress and confusion of battle, noting how the production captures the sheer scale of the chaos during the paratrooper drops and subsequent ground assaults. The narrative follows Easy Company as they struggle with disorientation after landing in the wrong zones, facing heavy German resistance, and attempting to secure objectives while dealing with the loss of comrades like Hall and Hanks. A significant portion of the discussion focuses on the brutal reality of the assault on a German artillery battery, where soldiers must disable machine guns under fire using explosives. The hosts highlight specific moments of tension, such as a soldier accidentally firing his weapon prematurely and another being wounded while trying to retrieve ammunition, emphasizing the high stakes and the constant threat of death. They reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of the men, noting how the show portrays not just the glory but also the grim, often futile nature of war where even trained soldiers can be killed before they touch the ground. The conversation underscores the camaraderie among the troops as they rely on one another to survive, with scenes showing them helping each other up and sharing supplies amidst the destruction. Beyond the action, the hosts delve into the emotional aftermath of the battle, discussing how the characters cope with loss and find moments of hope despite the carnage. They particularly appreciate a scene where a soldier reflects on surviving "the day of days" and vows to live peacefully in the future if he makes it home, which provides a sense of optimism amidst the horror. The reaction also touches on the historical significance of the events depicted, such as the capture of the battery becoming a textbook case studied at West Point, and the hosts express gratitude for having peace and safety in their own lives compared to the soldiers who fought and died for it. They conclude that while the episode is devastating, it ultimately reinforces themes of brotherhood, resilience, and the importance of cherishing life, making it one of their top five favorite episodes of television.

What's up, guys? Welcome back to the channel. So, episode one of Band of Brothers was an incredible, incredible episode. It really set everything up and introduced us to a lot of these characters, but now we're going to be dropping behind enemy territory in France and Normandy and >> everything we trained for in episode one. >> Yeah, but you can't train for this. >> You can't. >> Guys, this is going to be a very heavy episode. We already know, man. Um, unless there's another delay, but I guess the timeline wouldn't add up. But anyways, man, this is going to be a very heavy episode. Um, almost hard to watch. So, just do our best to get through it with us, guys. But I'm anticipating a very bloody, painful, heartbreaking episode, and there's only 10 episodes. This is obviously real life, guys. This is as real as it gets telling these stories. There's 10 episodes. So, I'm expecting a lot of a lot of characters to die, honestly. And it it kind of sucks to say, but >> I know >> I got a feeling this is going to be one of the more emotionally impactful things we've ever seen. >> Yeah. not just this show, which I'm sure it will be, but in particular this episode. So, all right. Are you ready to get into it? All right, guys. Like, comment, subscribe, man. Hit us up on Patreon if you guys want to see the full uncut reaction. Thank you guys so much for supporting our videos lately. It means a lot to us. And um let's watch this episode, guys. [music] This intro is angelic. It's very fitting, actually. [music] There's that um >> insane shot. >> Yeah, that you like. >> Someone on Patreon told us Michael Fast Bender is in this. >> Oh, okay. >> Dang it. Should have known. >> My favorite thing about the intro is there's a lot of war going on in it, but at the same time, there's a lot of just walking through fields, >> getting to know each other, learning about each other's lives. Those are always the best >> camaraderie. >> Like in Forest Gump when they're just walking that those are the best scenes, you know. >> Yeah. >> Standing in the door, I could see the lights on the drop zone and I had to assume that was our drop zone way in the ahead of us and uh so that uh we had I had the red light and had everybody standing up ready to jump. So when the plane started to get hit and suddenly the pilot gives me the green light, I'm out the door immediately. >> Got such an opening blast from the >> Maybe that was >> shock from the prop blast that it broke this chin strap that we had on this helmet liner and uh that's when I lost this famous leg bag that everybody talks about just from the shock of the opening. It just flew right off my foot. >> We Oh wow. >> came from the sky. We hit and in any direction you went there would be enemy. You knew it. And uh that was all part of what you accepted. >> How do you prepare yourself mentally? Each man must do that himself. Each man must prepare himself mentally to uh to make that jump. >> In the back of your mind, you you you know you you wonder what's going to happen and all that. You know, you uh you've been trained and trained and trained what you what your job is going to be and what you're supposed to do. And uh you that's what you got to think about, you know, whe uh >> a >> you try to put it all on your mind. >> A >> he said he was about to jump and the bullets were hitting the plane. Like could you imagine >> they're so brave. I'm trying to tell you. >> I hope he makes it for the sake of his mama. >> I know. >> Make it. >> Yes, SIR. IS IT LIEUTENANT SNICK? SIR, >> that plane's cute. It has like a little face. >> I was going to say it, but I didn't want to seem like a little [ __ ] [laughter] watching a war show. But that is a cute plane. Hey, I need your help here. I don't blame him. >> Is he sleeping? Taking a nap. That's a little clicker thing. >> Oh my gosh. >> They're talking about how every man has to prepare mentally and every person looks so different. >> [clears throat] >> equipment. >> Oh my goodness. Okay. Okay. >> Oh, I'd have so much anxiety hearing one. >> Oh. >> Oh my gosh. >> This show looks crazy good. Oh man. >> Let's go. [screaming] Oh my gosh. >> Oh, you got to Oh, you're going to have to just push him out at this point. >> I didn't even get to jump, >> right? >> Tell me to get him out of there. >> Oh my gosh, that whole company. >> Yeah, but they might be the lucky ones. You know what I mean? Cuz this is probably going to be worse on the ground. Oh my god. >> The intro makes this look so like cute and beautiful and it's like not. WHERE'S THE GODDAMN DC? MAYBE THREE MORE MINUTES ON THIS PARROT. IF WE GET ANY LOWER, we ain't going to NEED ANY FREAKING PARACHUTES. SLOW DOWN. WE GOT TO GET SOME ALTITUDE. Big jump this. >> Oh no. You can't dodge nothing like that. You know what I'm saying? You're just >> Yeah. Imagine just floating and getting shot or landing in that. >> All these years later and TV doesn't look near as good. Nowhere close. >> A sh That ain't good. You got any weapons at all? Flash. [ __ ] >> I don't think that's the correct flight trooper. I say flash. >> You say thunder. >> Yes, sir. Thunder, sir. >> What's that call? Like a call sign or something. >> Who's that back? Coach, sir, it's Her. I was on the basketball team. Light back. Crop blast. Got it. Sir, my radio and batteries with him, too. Landed somewhere behind those trees. Follow me. >> Hey, he landed by the right guy, though. >> That would be hard to tell who's who at night. Hell yeah. >> Yeah, >> that makes sense for that like little call they have, right? >> Yeah. >> Wait until they reload. >> Aren't you? >> You know what I'm saying? >> Guess that means one of us is in the wrong drop zone now, sir. >> Yeah. Or both of us. >> Do you have a weapon, sir? >> Just my knife. >> Do you have any idea where we are, sir? >> Some. >> So, you're a radio man? >> Yes, sir. Well, I wasn't until I lost my radio on the jump. I'm sure I'll get chewed out for that. >> Well, if you were in my platoon, I'd tell you you were a rifleman first, radio man second. >> Maybe you can tell that to my platoon leader when we find him. If we find him. >> It's a deal. First, I need your help. Locate some landmarks to get our bearings. Keep your eyes peeled for buildings, farm houses, bridges, roads, trees. I wonder if the rest of them are as lost as we are. >> We're not lost, prim. Normally, >> that guy's just a little lad, too. >> I know. We just made like a little landing friend. >> He's so young. He's like a little baby. Hey, I didn't hear it back. He's waiting for him to do it back. >> Oh, it's like an identifier. >> Yeah, it's like a little cricket. >> That winners. Is that you, >> bro? Use those clicks. >> History Channel taught me that. >> You know what? No sir. As soon as I hit that prop blast, a long leg back, all I got is this knife and some TNT. These 82nd boys got there in month. >> Oh man. 82nd. Where the hell are we sir? I saw a sign back that way. Said Sam Merrick le flashlight. Rat. You got a rain coat? Yeah. >> What? We're about 7 km away from our objective. We're 4 hours away from where we need to have it secure. So, we got a lot of walking ahead of us. You'll stick with us until we find your unit. Let's go. >> Hey, Serge. Where are we going? Causeway number two, Utah Beach. The Germans flooded the fields inland. We don't clear those roads. Our boys ain't going nowhere. Five of us ain't going to secure a road and we don't even have a weapon. >> So far, my favorite thing about this show, guys, other than the characters, cuz that's number one, is the lighting. >> Mhm. Like the key lights and the fill lights coming up to a road and bridge. >> Yeah. How would you know? Because I studied the sand tables, right? Probably a freaking train or flash. >> Oh, there you are. You >> sir. Sir, see you sir. Hey everybody. Okay. >> I could see you moving you in the hall up front. The hell is hall? I like the how they're from all over the place and they just landed together. >> Yeah. >> What' Forest Gump say? These are some of the best men I ever met. They're scattered from all over the country. >> WAIT FOR MY COMMAND. OH, we got the jump on him. >> Damn. >> Oh my god. >> He's not obeying orders at all. >> Damn. >> Wow. >> He threw them grenades. >> We just whooped them. ENOUGH, GARDNER. >> That's my brother. Damn it. >> Everyone. Okay, >> sir. Sir, >> next time I say wait for my command, you wait for my command, Sergeant. >> Yes, sir. >> You want to hit? >> Yeah, we had to help that pony. >> Here you go, Lieutenant Weapon. >> Fine, Quaker. >> That was insane. Oh my gosh. So, he just wanted to like take his anger out. >> Garia. Really? His name, dummy. Garner. Ganorrhea. So, besides having a shitty name, what's his problem? >> None of your [ __ ] business, cowboy. >> All right, let's move out quietly. >> Poor guy. >> You see him? He just sat there. >> He didn't have a weapon. What's he going to do? Shot at him? >> Shout to me for killing Crouch? >> He just wanted you to wait for his command. >> Joe, he don't even drink. [laughter] >> I don't drink either, so what? That looks like a massacre. Oh, you see people that they didn't land. >> That would just be the worst. You do all that training and you get shot before you even touch the ground. >> I wonder are they going to take their equipment? I know that sounds bad. >> They got anything that supplies or ammo? Now's the time to get it. McDall, you okay? Yes, Sergeant. Let's go. Dang, his foot's all tied up like that. That's awful. >> Mess up. >> Hey, I promised my kid brother I'd fetch him back a Luger. So, I got first dibs. Okay, check that one. >> Oh my gosh. >> It's the Navy. The landings have started. Let's go. Let's move it out. >> Right on time. >> Yeah. Hell to him, cowboy. My name's Hall. >> That's so Let's move out. >> You just got to learn to return his fire is all. Just got to realize it ain't about you. I just heard his brother. >> He shot you a yap. brother got at a casino. Found out before we jump. >> Uhoh. >> Morning, sir. Italians sure will be happy to see you guys. >> Where? At the farm, sir. >> What's happening to you fellas? ENJOYING THE WAR. >> Where are you from, son? Eugene, Oregon. >> Oh, man. He's from America. >> You got to be kidding me. Popey, did you hear this? I'm from Atoria, I say. >> Yeah. Orange Street. What gives? What are you doing in a crowd uniform? >> Fold sto Come again. >> He's German. >> My family answered the call. All Trarians should return to the fatherland. >> Whoa. >> Join up in 41. You're [ __ ] me, RIGHT? >> STOP. >> I didn't know that happened. >> Get over here. >> Whoa. >> What got you to Eugene? >> I was born. >> They deserve better. >> Harry, carry on. Oh, easy company at this year's hall table company known as cowboy Texas Manhattan. >> What's going on? What's the hold up? >> Not sure. Bible tenders got something to do with that. >> Yeah, it's good to see you, Dick. >> Yeah, you too, B. What's the situation? >> Not good. 90% of the men are still unaccounted for. No one's seen or anyone from this plane. >> That's what he said. >> If he is missing, wouldn't that put you in line to be the next commander of Easy? Hey, Lieutenant Pierce. How many men of dog do company got us? A >> handful, maybe 20. You're the only officer that made it >> so far. Still waiting for orders. >> You got some cigarettes? >> Hey, keep it back. >> Yes, I was in planting 39. >> That's when I was at Monarch tooling propeller shafts. No kidding. What are the chances of that, huh? You and me 100 miles from each other working at practically the same job. Jeez. >> Hey, we're waiting on you. >> Yeah, I'm coming. >> A >> I got to run. That's awful. But >> see you around. >> They had so much in common. >> It really just goes to show you that like we other the mess out of like uh you know people in wars and stuff, but they're just doing their best too in a way. Like the people you know. >> The people are always the victims of war. I should say. >> Oh, I knew it. [ __ ] >> Easy company. Easy. It's just reality, you know. >> Wants easy company co up front. >> Well, I guess that means you dig. >> Come on, son of a [ __ ] >> Hey, look. Where's the best child in Berlin? >> AMGs. >> I'd say run around here, sir. I can't be sure. >> There's some crowd 88s up ahead. Up ahead and to the right about what? 300 yd up through those gardens. Now they're right between us and causeway number two. Firing onto the boys landing at Utah. Think easy can handle it? >> Yes, sir. >> My guess is they're doing some terrible damage there. >> So, we got to go like clear the way. Make some room for our boys. >> 88 we've been hearing have been spotted in a field down the roadways. Major Strayer wants us to take him out. There are two guns that we know of firing on Utah Beach and plan on a third and a fourth here and here. The journey in the trenches with access is the entire battery and with machine gun cover in the rear. We'll establish a base of fire and move under it hard and fast with two squads of three. >> How many crowds you think we're facing? >> No idea. >> We'll take some TNT along with us to spike the guns. Lipton, your responsibility. >> Yes, sir. Leave. Got you'll take the first machine gun with petty a gunner. Pleasure. Hrix, you take the other. Who's that? Leave Compton Malarkey Toy Garnier. Okay.

Drop everything else. Got any spare ammo and a pack or museette bag? Bring it along. >> Lieutenant sir, I was wondering, sir, you need an extra hand? Ain't you jeep driver? So, [ __ ] What's your name, trooper? >> I would take it. >> Lorraine, sir, >> you're with me. Lorraine, second squad. >> Yes, sir. >> All right, you heard the word. Let's move. Let's move. >> Man, there's been non-stop explosions and stuff since that very first time it happened on the plane. >> It's so dynamic in my ear. Makes me jump a little bit. Three cannons shy. We got invalidating fire. Ready? Let's go. Stay down. MG42. >> DRAW their fire to the right from the truck. Take two men and hit them from the left. Okay, go. Good. >> Take Ry. Envelop right. Give covering fire on a machine gun. Don't give away your position until you have to. I want that TNT. As soon as you see we've captured the first gun, go >> Oh god, >> I can't see nothing.

Hey Popey coming through. >> 40. >> Yes. >> Hope he makes it cuz he's just a wholesome guy. >> Killed maybe around 20. So yeah, probably there's 40 left. I think we need artillery or maybe mortars might do the job. >> Going our way. Sure, >> sir. Careful. Don't hurt yourself. Nice ride you got here, Nicks. Great. Put them to work before they're missed. [music] >> Hell yeah. commandeered >> by nightfall. Second battalion had secured Samurai Deont and elements of the fourth division were beginning to move [music] men and material in land. >> That World War I monument was >> most of the 101st Airborne, including Easy Company, was still scattered all over Normandy, [music] and the success of the invasion was far from certain. We had an hour to rest and scr whatever food we could before we had to move south and secure the town of Kulville. >> Welcome to Kulville. Mhm. >> Jesus, let me out of here. Light discipline. Garnier, close that flag. >> Oh, that was the show. >> Look, the crap's cooking. >> How we doing? We're doing good. Doing good. Hell to go about cooking. You're Irish. Sir, if you have a reservation someplace, >> thank you. >> Hey, that was good. >> That's an ammo box. >> That's pure protein. >> Jesus Christ. [laughter] I bet war really does smell though bad. >> Evening. Hello, sir. Something dying here. >> Any word on Lieutenant Man yet, sir? >> No, not yet. >> Don't that make you our commanding officer, sir? >> Yeah, it does, sir. >> Joe, Lieutenant. >> Oh, today he does. >> It's been a day of firsts. >> He said when in Normandy, >> don't you think? >> Yes, sir. >> Look, best friends now. Sergeant sir, >> not a Quaker. >> You might guess the gun. He's probably a Menanite. >> It's a Menanite. >> You know that map you found? That had every crowd gun in Normandy on it. >> Oh yeah. >> Yeah. >> Let's go. >> Here. Don't ever get a cat. It's on your mind. I lost a man today. Hall. Hanks. A John Hall New Yorker. Got killed today at Bracore. I I never knew him. Yeah, you did. Radio op 506 basketball team able company. He's a good man. Man, not even old enough to buy a beer. >> Yeah, he look like a kid. >> Hey, Dick. I sent that map up to Division. I think it's going to do some good. >> That's a huge victory, but he doesn't care cuz he lost that kid >> cuz he he found the weapon caches, I guess. >> Yeah, >> that's like good intel. That night, I took time to thank God for seeing me through that day of days and prayed I would make it through D+1. And if somehow I managed to get a home again, I promised God and myself that I would find a quiet piece of land someplace and spend the rest of my life in peace. >> Oh, I hope you do. >> That [music] shot just looking across that river and seeing that will stick in my head. This show is crazy. >> Mhm. >> This one's good, y'all. for destroying the German guns at Breport Menor or mannered. The following medals were awarded bronze stars. A bunch of good men. Oh, papa. Yeah, silver stars. Buck, Bill, and Gerald. >> Yeah. >> Ender Winters. >> Hey, where's my purple hearts? Easy company's capture of the German battery became a textbook case of an assault on a fixed position and is still demonstrated at the United States Military Academy at West Point today. Pretty impressive. >> I think it should. >> That was insane. That was honestly one of the best hours of TV I've ever seen. Honestly, that was like easily a top five. Like for sure. >> All right. So, I think I've expressed at this point how incredible that was to me. But babe, what did you think about that? >> I thought that was shot beautifully, but and also it was shot so stressfully. >> Oh my gosh. Yeah. And also I was thinking about it like the way the cameraman had to shoot Winters the way he was running they had to like be running backwards like with the >> camera shaking and it was just like if you think about it they had to use a lot of creative minds to make it feel as stressful as it came out. >> It does I mean they don't do that weird trick with the shutter speed like they did in Saving Private Ryan but it does remind me of that movie a lot. Yeah. Um, yeah, I think this show is an incredible show about a lot of harrowing men who uh or about a lot of men who had to like take on a harrowing task and it's about the bravery and the selfishness and the sacrifice and like none of that's lost on us, right? >> Yeah. >> Um, we're a little old. If you are new here, guys, we're a little older than we look. Some people think we're in our 20s, but we're we're not. We're approaching our mid-30s. So, um, we definitely have an appreciation for that. But I think other like I said other than the the brotherhood in the show, the thing that really gets me so much is just like the lighting in this show. It's beautiful. Like even when Winters was walking as he was walking and it showed him looking across and seeing all the fighting >> like they even like wet the street so that way the key light would hit the street and like cast a shadow. Like it's just so well done. It's It's beautiful, but >> in such a crazy time to say something's beautiful. >> It's so weird how death and destruction and carnage and just like uh >> you know the war machine turning like it like it's doing in the show. It's it's incredible how you know you can find beauty in it. But just in terms of like film and art, I think it I think that like >> you know you try to capture these moments that happen in real life on camera and it's really hard to do that. Um, but I think the show's doing a really good job of it. And I think that in real life, it was probably so much more dramatic than the show. But I do think the show is giving it a hell of an effort to try to capture that. And I appreciate that. >> I was thinking about it. Just imagine being in a situation where you're hearing gunshots around, but you're not even reacting to them cuz there's just so many. >> Only the only ones that get you are the close proximity explos. just like when you're in a situation where uh a multiple gunshots don't even make you flinch. I think that's just like the ultimate like most terrifying situation you can be in. >> Yeah. Yeah. Life's just funny, man. Life's just funny cuz like, you know, we have our own different lives now. Like, here we are. It's a completely different year. Like, if we would have been born at a certain point in time, this would have been our life, you know? And it's just crazy how life's never tested us this way, >> you You know, I mean, life's going to have its test for sure, but I feel like the tests we go through for the most part are going to be a pretty universal experience for most people in our generation. You know, like we're going to lose our parents eventually. You know, Lord forbid something might happen to one of us or something, but people go through that. But, >> you know, trying to jump off one of these planes with a parachute while getting shot simultaneously while the straps that are holding you are getting hit with gunfire. I mean, you know, people probably fell from the parachutes just because gunfire hit and tore up their parachutes. >> Yeah. I was even thinking maybe sometimes like the way the airplane was shifting, like even if you open the door, you might fly out. >> Imagine the plane getting hit and the plane falling down and hitting >> and then that plane hitting another plane. >> It's just hard to fathom. Like, it really is like uh >> And you know what else I thought during the episode? What if there was like I'm sorry this is so random but what if there was an AI generated video of like all the war movies like and they came together because when I saw the tanks I was like what if Brad Pitt's uh little crew pulls up and then I was thinking like you know like Unsaving Private Ryan how >> oh like every war movie was just like in its own universe and they all like Avengers collab >> they always pick like one specific part of the war to focus on so it's just like you kind of put them all together Hanks everyone from That's Yeah, I know. >> Yeah, I know. But I don't know. I was just thinking about that >> little green soldiers from Toy Story show up. [laughter] >> Yeah, >> but it's just crazy because, you know, we've seen a bunch of different World War II move movies and this is our first show, but just it would be interesting to see. I guess >> two thoughts I have. The first thought, um, what's his name? Soil. Is it Soel or Soel? >> Yeah. Um, I really missed the character because I thought that the character was portrayed very well in terms of like the actor. Um, but I did kind of have a lot of empathy for him at first because, you know, it was my first time watching the show. So, in my mind, I'm thinking this guy right here really cares about his men, but it's the ultimate tough love. Like, he understands his attention to detail. You know, we understand that this is going to be the difference between life and death. and I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I think in hindsight I realized that this guy was sort of just anal and like he just didn't do a good job relating to his men and I really like Winters. I'm not going to demonize the guy though. I mean, I don't think he's like a piece of [ __ ] person. He shouldn't be in prison or nothing. But looking back, I think Soel's character was phenomenal. I miss him in this episode. I feel like we could have this No, no, no. Actually, this episode was perfect. There's nothing I would change, but I do miss him. I hope we get to see what he's up to. I hope that the character comes back in the show. It's only 10 episodes. >> I think for sure we're going to We have to >> I had one more thought. I just can't remember what it was, but it was really good. It was my favorite thought and I forgot it. >> Oh, even though this was honestly one of the most horrific things that we've ever witnessed in a TV show or on, you know, in in TV or cinema, I didn't come away feeling depressed. I felt >> hopeful and I felt like I was around like >> people I care about and family and optimistic and I felt like it's all going to be okay. cuz I think it's called Banda Brothers and in a way that sounds like a positive thing like >> people banded together. >> They band together literally like it's what holds them together. Yeah. So just a camaraderie >> and Winter's looking off and then saying that statement about you know if I make it out of this that's what I'm going to do. >> Yeah. >> It made it feel hopeful. >> I just like the fact that for the first time I I saw someone really looking forward to the future >> in that scene because >> um >> it'd be easy to think about death in that scene. It would be easy to be like, "Well, here it is. I'm like, >> oh, you're thinking there's a 99.9% chance I'm not making it out of this." >> Yeah. Like, you just got to hope whoever you have overseas is going to be okay. >> And they and they called it I love the way he described it. He called it the day of days. >> Yeah. >> You know, like at the time they obviously didn't have >> they called it D-Day plus one. So, it's like any day after that is just an extra day. >> Yeah. >> That you're here. Back then though, they didn't really have like the hindsight and the perspective to be able to like, you know, make an entity, you know, like when a day is that infamous, it like really develops an identity and becomes its own entity in a way. But like when you're living through it, you don't really see it that way until like, you know, >> um, you know what I'm saying? Kind of like World War II. >> They didn't call World War I World War I, for example, because it was just the first one, you know? >> So, yeah, just an incredible episode, guys. But I don't really have anything else to say at this point because I think I'll just be blabbering. But um hopefully you guys enjoyed the reaction. I cannot express enough how thankful I am that I don't have to do that. Um it is not lost on me, man. I love the life I live. I understand that the life I live has been built off the broken backs of millions of people at this point. >> And 95% of them didn't even make it just in that one like battle. >> Right. I feel like because of things like this, uh I don't have entitlement. That's one thing is we're not entitled people over here. Uh we ask that you guys like our videos and all that stuff and you know continue to support the channel and that means a lot to us but entitlement is just something that we don't relate to in this house and um and it's because of people like this. Like they weren't even entitled to touch the ground before they got killed. So watching stuff like this is just good for you because it really puts stuff into perspective. And it's also when you watch things like this it makes it hard to have a bad day. >> Yeah. >> You know what I'm saying? So that's what I'm talking about >> cuz your day could be 8 trillion times worse. >> Like this guy is talking about like imagine having a day so bad you start fantasizing about a farm and never seeing someone again. You just want to live out your days in peace listening to the river. Like you know and I and I get >> you mean 97.1. >> Oh 971 the river. >> Yeah. >> But people only get that if they're from here though. It's not like it's a radio station here. It's not like everywhere. Oh >> okay. Like if you live in another state 97 it's probably like like when we were growing we had 955 the beat and it'd be all like Luda but you probably didn't have 955 the beat. It's probably 91. >> Yeah. See that just sounds like static to me. That'd be static on the radio station I grew up on. >> Mrs. Oto was trying to figure out how radio waves work. We're going to work on it. Um they use some they use some in this in this uh show. But no but in all seriousness guys really good show. I really hope you guys are enjoying it. Perfect pick. I really think so. But God is heavy. >> Very heavy. >> But it's good. I feel like when we get done with this show, I'm gonna look back and feel like this is one of like, you know, it's kind of hard to say the big three, but like the top five. This is one of those top five. To me, this is this is wrapping up to be good. All right.
