And yeah, let's get a little over there.
And then rumble.com slash freshfit, as you guys know.
Right now we're live streaming on Rumble.
Not YouTube, but we're on Rumble, Twitch, Twitter, and Facebook.
We kind of want to have the conversation be...
We don't want to censor it, guys, so we're just doing it on Rumble, and we're going to probably close out the other platforms here very soon.
Yes.
But, yeah, I think that's about it, right?
Without further ado, we know who you are, brother.
Eric, welcome to the show, brother.
But if you don't mind, tell them who you are, the audience.
So, I have a prank channel on YouTube, pretty much the only prankster my size, and I'd say I probably do the craziest pranks on all of YouTube, like...
I mean, you know.
Yeah, he definitely does.
Legendary.
Yeah, by the way, when you hit me up, like, two weeks ago to be on the show, I couldn't fucking believe it.
Like, at first I saw you view my story, and, like, all my friends and I watched the show, so, like, I was just gonna screenshot that you viewed my story, and I'm like, oh shit, Myron viewed it.
Then I see you DMing to be on the show, I'm like, oh man, no fucking way.
Yeah, man.
Absolutely, bro.
It's crazy to be here right now.
Yeah, no, we're happy to have you.
That's surreal.
I was watching your stuff back in the day, man, before I was even on YouTube myself.
I was like an agent doing surveillance, and I was like, what the fuck is this Russian guy doing being a professor at a university?
Like, what's going on here?
Like, yo.
Crazy pranks.
Um, and the thing too is that like, you know, we all know that the prank genre is kind of like fell off and died off or whatever, but you're one of the few guys that are still doing it, doing a high level and it's real stuff.
It's like not wild.
I mean, and you've had to deal with some issues because of it.
Oh yeah.
I had eight court cases last year simultaneously that I was dealing with.
Yeah.
And I was facing a year in jail.
Um, I was on probation.
I was facing a year in jail if I got arrested again.
Um, People don't understand.
Pranks can literally ruin your life, bro.
Yeah, they can.
It's a lot of attention, but the downside of it is like the aftermaths or the side effects of, you know, the happening.
But before we talk about the prank channels and everything, because I got a lot of questions on that.
Can you take us a little bit about your background?
Obviously, you're from Russia, but can you tell us about like, you know, because you came into the country as an immigrant.
Can you take us through that?
Well, I was born in Ukraine, actually.
Oh, Ukraine.
Yeah, I moved here when I was two years old.
Then I grew up in LA, basically.
So you're Ukrainian, not Russian?
I'm half Ukrainian, half Russian.
Okay.
What part of Ukraine is your family from?
Harikov.
So it's a Russian-speaking part of Ukraine.
Okay.
Is that Eastern Ukraine, I would assume, then?
I don't even fucking know.
But if it's, okay, if it's the Russian-speaking side, okay.
Who are you supporting in this war?
This nigga.
Who do you support?
So...
I couldn't even, honestly, I couldn't even tell you what the war is about.
Okay, smart man, smart man.
Okay, fair enough.
So like, but it's so funny, like, on my channel, people all the time, they're like, oh, are you actually Russian?
Are you Ukrainian?
And all these comments, like, going crazy about it, like, I just don't get it.
Like, I just rep both countries, and that's it.
Yeah, I thought, because you speak Russian fluently, right?
Yeah, so I thought you were Russian.
I didn't know that you were born in Ukraine.
But I mean, They're like the brother of brother nations, man.
And the reason I go by Russian gangster is because up until two years ago, nobody knew what the fuck Ukraine even is.
True.
Like, if you're from Ukraine, Belarus, etc., you just say you're Russian in America.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's actually true.
That says a lot, though.
Yeah, because, I mean, let's keep it a thousand.
I mean, unless you're a passport bro, or you're just a well-traveled individual, you're not going to know Ukraine.
Shit, I don't even know.
Yeah.
Like, I bet a lot of people still don't know that Ukrainians and Russians are, like, the same exact people.
We speak the same language, same culture.
USSR. Yeah.
All part of one nation back then.
That's wild.
Yeah.
But, okay.
So, one Ukraine...
Do you speak Ukrainian too, or do you only speak Russian?
No, just Russian.
Just Russian.
Yeah.
You came right to two years old.
Yeah.
And then, how was it like in your childhood, basically?
School, cool parents.
What was it like growing up here in America?
Yeah, raised by a single mom.
Just a regular childhood, really, you know?
Nothing...
Because in school, I was a class clown.
So that's why I wanted to do pranks.
But for you, you're always like A student, B student.
Well, growing up, I always did pranks growing up.
When I was a little kid with my group of friends, we would literally spend our time prank calling people.
We would ding-dong ditch all the neighbors.
I always love doing pranks, you know Pizza calls Pizza calls Pizza for people and shit Mother suckers We used to call me and my friend Jeremy, if you're watching this right now, you already know what I'm about to say Tell him the story, bro, tell him the story We used to call Italian restaurants and pretend to be the mafia.
Get some fucking money, Tony!
Where you at?
And then they're like, oh, what are you talking about?
We're going to break your fucking knee, Cass.
We're going to be there right now.
Forget about it.
Yeah, so those prank calls were always funny.
We call Chinese stores, sorry, Chinese restaurants and say that we were the FDA and we had information that they were cooking cats and dogs.
Wow.
Yeah, we would do that.
That's messed up, bro.
One time, though, we did that shit.
We called them.
The dude put the phone down.
I just heard them panicking in the background.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
They're talking in Chinese, so...
What?
It was funny.
Yo, so back...
So we're from Barbados, right?
So we didn't have, like, too much, like...
You called the Chinese, sir?
Oh, no, no, no.
So in school, we had class, of course, and...
Back in those days...
We should get off Twitch, probably, and Facebook it.
You know what?
Come on over to Rumble, niggas, so that we can have the conversation that we want to have, goddammit.
Because I want to put the Rumble chat in here, too.
Right now.
So, guys, yeah, kill all the other streams, guys.
Come on over to Rumble, rumble.com slash fresherfit, so that we can do this interview the way that we fucking want to do it, okay?
That was quick.
Let us know we're clear.
So, yeah, I love pranks because, like, one, it's funny, but two, it's like, that experience you get and the thrill you get is amazing.
So, in school, right, I was class clown, 100%, and I'll never forget, back in those days, I didn't eat a lot, but when I ate, it was garbage.
So, like, I have to fart all the time.
So, in class, right, I'll sit at the front, And then I moved to the back because I know I'm going to fart, right?
And there's always like one or two deaths open.
So I would fart in the front and walk to the back.
And it was a silent killer.
He used to call me Dragon.
So then back then, when I would walk to the back, obviously it would permeate through the whole room.
And then it would be like...
Oh my god, I can't breathe!
They'd be like, who is that?
They'd be like, that's Walter!
And they'd get in trouble.
You know, detention, but it was hilarious.
Yeah, tell us about it.
Yeah, when I was in 6th grade, I found this fart spray.
Oh!
So I would bring it to class, and I would start, like, spraying it.
And every day, the teacher would just, like, go crazy, like, she's like, whoever's doing this, you know, you need to see a doctor, whatever.
Then I started telling, like, all the other students, and, like, we'd plan a time where it's gonna go off, and, like, everybody would be waiting for it.
But then one girl snitched on me, and then when the teacher found out, like, she made the whole class evacuate, and...
I was supposed to go clean the toilets the whole day after.
But yeah, the farting, that made me remember.
Bro, it was so bad.
We had morning praise.
We were all huddled in the middle at the very morning.
And that morning, I had, like, scrambled eggs.
I had, like, Maubi's, like, a local drink there.
And I had, as well, like, just random stuff.
Like, bad stuff in the morning.
You shouldn't eat.
And then I made sure I was in the middle of the attendance.
Yo, I farted, bro.
This ghost was screaming, like, Oh my god!
I can't breathe!
People ride like the Red Sea.
That way it was hilarious, but yeah.
That was fun back in the day.
So, when you moved from Ukraine, did you do most of your growing up in LA? Yeah, I lived in LA pretty much all my life.
When COVID started, I moved to Texas for two years, and I loved it out there, but the problem is, compared to LA, you can't film shit.
When you say you can't film it, was it tough to be able to do pranks, get reactions?
How was it tough to film?
Well, there's many different things.
First of all, there's not as many spots.
So there's like two malls in all of Austin.
So once I'm trespassed from both, what the hell do I do?
And then like...
They trespassed you right away?
Yeah.
I mean, the police there comes in two seconds.
They have nothing to do.
And there's also like no Russian community like in LA. And I love like doing those pranks.
Yeah.
Fucking with like the Russian Armenian community there.
So that's a big thing.
Yeah.
Okay, so you liked being in Texas, but it was just really tough to film.
Yeah, I'd love to live there, but for what I do for work, it wasn't worth it.
Yeah, it wasn't conducive.
And it's cheaper, too, in Texas.
Oh, so much cheaper.
Yeah, dude.
I'll be honest with you, bro.
I hate Los Angeles with a passion.
But I can see, like, being from there, the type of content that you make, it makes sense.
And to be honest with you, most of the biggest YouTubers are all out in L.A. anyway.
Like, very few guys are, you know, outside of Los Angeles.
So, tell us, I guess, pluses and negatives of being in L.A.? Well, for me, I mean, the filming is, there's no other place like LA, like, because first of all, the police doesn't give a fuck.
If you go into the right areas with the LAP, they don't give a fuck.
They got other stuff to deal with.
The sheriff's department doesn't even come anymore if it's a non-violent crime.
Wow, are you serious?
Yeah.
Wow!
Crack is at an all-time high over there, too.
Yeah, but you gotta be careful not to go to the wrong place, because like Burbank, when we did a prank there, that's when I really got fucked.
What happened?
Hmm?
What happened?
We knocked over cupcakes at Walmart.
It was actually doing a Gideon parody, and yeah, so that's what I got a year of probation for, where if I got arrested again, I'd get a year in jail automatically.
Oh, wow.
Wait, you knocked over cupcakes?
Yeah.
What?
And you got in trouble for knocking over cupcakes?
Yeah, I mean, it was a little more than that.
So, I was filming with my friend No Unsafe.
I think I pushed him into cupcakes, then he threw me into vegetables.
And we were doing a parody of Jadeon's Calling Tow Trucks on Toy Cars video.
So, we did Calling Security on Toy Action Figures.
Okay.
But then we just got really out of hand because we wanted to outdo the original scene.
Yeah.
Oh, and the worst part is a fucking fan, he was talking my ear off outside.
So we could have gotten away.
And we were telling him, we gotta go, we gotta go.
But he just kept talking my ear off and that's what led to us getting arrested.
And the cops just showed up.
That's crazy.
What about any gang members?
Attacks or anything or no?
We know Ellie's very gang affiliated.
Yeah.
I mean, no, I don't really film, like, in those parts that much.
Fair enough.
Gotcha.
So, okay, so on the positive side, endless opportunities to film content and not necessarily, I guess with the content you make, police response time is slow, which is good.
And the weather.
Like, I mean, you can't, like, if it's raining every day, how are you going to film pranks, you know?
Yeah, facts.
Yeah, so, I mean, not just for the pranks, but the weather is just nice, you know?
Actually, you know what?
Weather does matter.
Because remember we tried to film your prank for the hype thing?
It was raining.
And we kept having to push it back because of weather?
Weather during COVID. It was just like, everything was working against us.
But in LA, it's always good weather.
It's always sunny.
It is always sunny.
Because even if it's a little cold, it's almost always sunny.
And it doesn't rain like that like here.
It rains almost every day here.
Yeah, it's random.
In the summertime.
But as a fellow prankster, what was your moment where you said, you know what, this prank is going to blow up, or it blew up, and you knew it.
That was it.
Your record-breaking prank.
I think the professor prank.
Oh, that one?
Yeah, when I originally did it.
We're going to play a clip of that.
That's just like a once-in-a-lifetime type of thing.
I do not think I could ever recreate that.
What gave you the idea?
I kept seeing all those lecture pranks that everybody does, but all the other pranksters, they look like fucking little kids.
And I was only 23 at the time, but I could pass for an older guy.
So I'm like, I need to do a fake professor prank.
Nobody's ever done it.
How old are you now?
Like, 28?
27.
27, okay.
Alright.
Yo, let's definitely...
Imagine a big buff guy walking into your school.
What got you started on YouTube, bro?
Obviously, so you had the itch for being 20, doing pranks, etc.
Real quick.
What got you involved with YouTube in the first place?
YouTube in general or YouTube pranks?
Yeah, what made you get into YouTube first?
I don't even know.
I mean, I originally started in like 2008 when I was 12, just like filming.
It just always seemed cool to me, like creating your own content and posting it and being able to like make money doing your own thing.
Like, I don't know.
It just always seemed awesome to me.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
And then you started with fitness first.
Yeah, in 2012, I started my fitness channel, which is, like, the first serious channel I had.
But I got so bored of that eventually.
Like, I was literally editing my videos falling asleep.
It becomes monotonous.
How many times can you talk about, you know, day of eating or bicep workout?
Yeah.
Do you have any, like, idols in the space?
Like, any creators you wanted to, like, be like?
Yeah.
Because back then I saw Vitaly a lot.
Yes.
So, you know, as soon as I saw Vitaly in December 2012, I was 16 at the time.
As soon as I saw him, like, that's what put the idea in my head to go do pranks.
I'm like, I need to start doing this.
And I hit up my friends in high school and, like, we did a prank, like...
We were supposed to do it the next week, but we did it the next month because, you know, planning it out with high school kids.
When I saw Who Man TV buying all these cars, living in a mega mansion in LA, I was like, bro, this was money?
Incredible.
So, you know, let me do it too.
So, yeah, that's good, man.
Yeah.
See if we'll do it too as well.
So, this is a prank that we're referring to, guys, which is hilarious.
So, give us a backstory on this.
What prompted the idea?
What did you, what was the intention?
What was the goal?
Go ahead, take it away.
Vladimir, let's pull it up.
I mean, I don't even know what the goal was supposed to be.
I didn't think it would be this.
So I imagined I would just go in.
I thought there would be a professor already there.
So I thought I would go in and say, no, I'm the professor.
We call Mr.
Wellington.
There's a little bit of confusion.
We get kicked out, whatever.
And then we tried another classroom right before this where the professor was there.
And he's just like, haha, very funny, guys.
I don't have time for this.
Did he see the camera?
Did he know that y'all were filming and shit?
No.
He didn't see the camera.
We're very good with hiding the camera.
I was going to say, your buddy is clearly filming this and he's pretending to be a student.
Sometimes it's not the best shot that way, but there has to be a balance between getting a good shot and staying hidden.
Because once they see the camera, it's over.
It's a wrap.
You won't get the best reaction.
Nowadays, a lot of pranksters, they just openly film everything.
Because it's not real pranks.
You're one of the few that still do a real prank, man!
To be honest, most people, to save time, they just set it up.
They pay an actor, they come into the scene, and then they just do it.
I mean, first he even admitted that he had to, like, fake a bunch of his pranks, bro.
Yeah, the first one I did was real.
All the rest was other, yo, bro, it's taking too much time.
Dude, it's crazy.
Go take your pranks, bro.
If you look at how it's made, a girl has to have a reaction that's kind of, like, bad at the beginning, and then turn to good, which can happen, but it takes hours to get that reaction, bro.
So you gotta set up an actor and just get it done in less than an hour.
Yeah, and a girl that hot, usually, like, what are the odds?
But, like, I've really been wanting to, for the longest time, to do, like, the first real gold digger prank.
But, like, whatever happens, happens.
Like, I don't care if it's a good...
My experience is, once you do it, the first reaction may not be what you want, so you have to be there for hours waiting for that perfect response.
That's what I've seen from doing gold digger pranks.
Because they'll be like, oh, nice car, whatever, I walk away, oh, I'm not interested.
But that's kind of what I wanted to show, like, what would actually happen, you know?
Yeah!
Alright, so you go in.
So you said your second class that you did this, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
And I had an appointment right after for Root Canal.
So we had to dip right after this.
So if this doesn't work, then whatever.
Gotcha.
So you walk in.
We could play it from the beginning, I guess.
This is hilarious.
This is ridiculous shit, man.
How many views on this one?
A million on this one.
Yeah.
Alright.
Everybody out from the other side of the building.
It's literally the first day of school.
First day of school in 2020?
Yeah.
Is this before the pandemic?
Right before.
Right before, okay.
There's no professor there yet, so they don't know who the professor is.
Yeah. Pause.
What class was this?
Like, do you know even what the class was supposed to be?
It's a business class, but it had like a weird name, like Consumer of the Legal Business Economics, like some weird shit.
You know that going in?
Yeah.
Okay, so I just called it the Consumer Business Class because I couldn't remember that long ass shit.
So what did you write in Russian on the board?
Professor Vladimir.
Let's pull that back up, bro.
Like, yo, what the fuck?
And he got tattoos on his face and shit?
Oh, man.
Hello, everybody.
I am Professor Vladimir.
I will be your professor for this class.
We start exactly 12, sorry.
Alright, pause.
What time did you get there?
It was like 1225.
Okay, so five minutes.
But listen, it's gonna say 1230 on the screen, but the actual professor didn't come until like 1240.
So I'm sitting there awkwardly at like 1230.
I'm texting my camera guy, what the fuck do I do?
What the fuck do I do?
Like, fuck.
Okay, alright.
So the whole time I'm selling it with my face, like I'm this medicine guy, but I'm like, fuck.
Oh, it's about to get funnier.
Alright, roll the clip some more, bro.
Hey, you're such a nice guy, bro.
Yo, this is crazy shit, man.
So...
What the hell?
What the hell?
Show the channel to the side.
Let's see what these niggas are saying, bro.
Oh, can we show it?
Yeah, we're not on Twitch anymore.
Yeah, we're on Rumble.
Let's show the fucking chat, man.
Oh, yeah, by the way, guys, get your Rumble rants in if you guys want to be involved in the show.
If you guys want to super chat your questions into the show as well...
Make sure to...
It's FNFSuperChat.com.
So RumbleRant or SuperChat in FNFSuperChat.com.
Link is posted at the top, man.
If you guys want to get involved with the show, you got a question for Eric or you guys want to make comments or whatever, this is going to be a good one.
Shout out to Rumble, man.
Yeah, shout out to Rumble, man.
Can I run to the rest of the show?
Best chat in the world.
Yeah, yeah, real quick.
Yeah, yeah.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Sure, sure.
And then we'll keep reacting to this shit now because I've seen this video a million times.
Yeah.
All right.
Go ahead.
Hit play.
play it's funny man Yeah, it's vodka.
Yo!
Pause.
Imagine y'all are in college, right?
First day of school.
You're like, alright, I'm about to go into business class.
And this big Russian dude walks in, writes his name on the board in Russian, and pulls out a bottle of vodka.
And a briefcase.
And a briefcase.
Boom!
Like, you're like, um...
Is this what I paid for to go to college?
Like, this is some bullshit.
Like, I'd be pissed.
What the hell's going on right now?
Yeah, like, bro, like...
What?!
Yo...
That girl was like, looking back like, I'm in the right class?
Yeah, are we in a Russian class?
So, alright, let's keep going.
okay I'll drink the vodka Straight to the head.
Alright, so it's swap 30 now.
Oh, so you're saying, okay, so...
This is actually at 1240.
Yes.
Okay, okay, okay.
Alright.
So the students were probably thinking, what the fuck?
Like, you said we're starting...
So you're saying that awkwardly, did anyone say shit?
No.
The whole time?
No, I'm just sitting there pretending to text, but I'm texting my camera guy, like, yo, where the fuck is this guy?
And you took a shot of vodka there.
Yeah.
No one asked you anything.
Nope.
Wow.
That's fucking hell.
They were probably terrified.
Alright.
So this professor walks in.
This is the actual professor now.
Yeah.
And watch why this worked out so perfectly.
Okay.
Excuse me.
I'm the professor.
Professor Vladimir.
I'm Peter.
Peter, nice to meet you.
I thought this was my class.
I'm a professor too.
You are a professor?
Yeah.
They told you this is your class?
Yes.
Are you sure?
I'm not.
Well, let's find out.
Okay.
Well, you know what?
Let me call my boss right now.
We can talk to him.
Okay, let me ask you this, guys.
Who's here for V-Log CAF 309, the consumer and the legal and economic environment?
Yeah, what is that class?
Yes.
The consumer and the legal and economic environment?
Correct, yes.
You?
Mr.
Wellington.
Hello?
Mr.
Wellington.
I'm in my class right now.
I'm supposed to start teaching, but there is another person here.
Professor.
He's saying he's the professor?
Yes.
So what I do?
You want to speak to him?
Let me speak to him.
Is he here in the building?
He's the biggest investor in the school.
Hi, this is Peter Kreisa.
Peter, how are you all?
Okay, so I thought I was, I'm a professor here at Texas.
I'm in consumer affairs.
They told me I was assigned to this class in this classroom today.
This Indian nigga like, what's going on?
I'm in the dean's office because you don't know who I am.
Do you know who he is?
I'm a big, big supporter of the school.
I donate more money than anybody.
And Vladimir has been trained by me What class is it?
It's a consumer called business.
Yeah, okay, we'll figure it out.
Don't worry.
Can you please go to Dean's office now and speak to him about me?
I will do it.
Tell him it's Mr.
Wellington on the phone.
Vladimir is supposed to be teaching the class today.
All right, I will talk to Dean's office.
Please.
Yeah, don't worry about it.
I will do that, don't worry.
So did you teach this class before?
No, this is my first year.
It's your first year, okay.
We'll figure it out, don't worry.
So this was your class before?
Yes.
I've taught it for seven years, eight years.
But last semester I did not teach it.
Just so everybody knows, last semester I did not teach it because I was department chair.
Okay.
They took it away from him though.
What are the odds?
Professor Vladimir.
Okay, I'm Peter.
Go ahead and do what you need to do.
I'll walk up to the Dean's office and whatever works out, it'll be fine.
Okay?
So don't worry.
Yes.
All right, guys.
You all heard of the phenomenon, right?
Okay, so good luck.
Have a nice semester, okay?
We'll figure it out.
He just leaves?
You A-mogged them, professor-wise.
That's not up for this class because you're the teacher.
I think you're a good teacher.
Oh, that bitch is pissed.
She was RayMyProfessor.com.
Easy A. Not today, whore!
Not today!
Okay, everybody, I will be your professor for this class.
Does anybody here know who Mr.
Wellington is?
I totally was not prepared for this.
I just winged it.
Bradley Wellington II. Or his son, Bradley Wellington III. Well, they are the richest family in Arizona, and I work for them.
So they taught me a lot about business, and that is why I will be teaching you, because Mr.
Wellington is the biggest investor in the school.
He got me this job.
Hey, please have a seat.
So I'm going to talk a little bit about the rules in my class.
Every day we will start, every Tuesday, Thursday, we meet at 12.30.
We start at exactly 12.30.
The doors will be locked.
I want everybody on time.
Anybody who comes in tardy, like this gentleman will be Mark Tardy.
And if you get three tardys in my class, It is an automatic fail.
If you get three absences in my class, it is an automatic fail as well.
Please, no eating and drinking in my class.
You already know they're going to be fucking pissed because in college, nobody shows up to class, guys.
So if you tell a college student, yo, three absences, it's a F, they're going to be like, what the fuck, bro?
Because a lot of college students don't show up, guys.
It would have been funny if you said, you miss three classes, you get killed.
No, for sure, but keep in mind, like...
I was not prepared to actually...
I didn't think the real professor was just going to leave me the class.
I'm just thinking of what to say.
And this is only like my third, fourth prank ever.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, so I'm just like winging it.
That's crazy, bro.
Okay, all right.
See, think about pranks, you never know.
The smallest prank, you thought, you know what, whatever, we'll just wing it.
It's improv on another level.
Yep.
And you got like, what, 30 kids in there, probably?
Yeah.
30 students?
Yeah.
Yeah, because y'all don't see the entire classroom, bro.
Like, these college classrooms would be, like, huge.
So, uh, let's keep going.
That's funny.
No talking while I talk, and that's it for now.
Right now, I just want to figure out what is going on.
Any questions?
What's your name again?
Professor Vladimir.
Okay.
That's my first name.
- Why? - I'm just curious.
- Okay. - What if we're coming from a really upper campus sometimes and like, you know, that could have made me like-- - Run.
- Yeah, bitch.
It's in Russian.
It's my country.
No, no eating, no drinking in my class, like I said.
I need some girls.
I need some girls.
Like I said, I work for Mr.
Wellington for the last 20 years.
So I know more about business than any professor here.
What is your name?
Megan.
You ask a lot of questions.
This is an interesting situation.
I've never had a situation like this before.
Me either.
Hi, have a seat please.
This is cold.
This is my dude. - I'm gonna take a time to pass.
- What?
- Are we waiting for Mr. Kaiser?
- Who?
I'm waiting for Peter to come back to confirm that I am the professor.
He went to speak with the dean.
I'm sure Mr.
William can give him a call.
So you're waiting for the other guy to come back?
Yeah.
Okay.
I mean, honestly, I wish I had more of a plan, but, like, I'm literally just trying to kill time.
And at this point...
Yeah, pause, pause, pause.
What's going through your mind at this point?
Okay, so...
Yo, at this point, like, what's going through your mind?
Because you clearly did not expect this shit.
Okay, so I kept texting my camera guy back and forth, because he kind of had the camera on the table.
I'm like, do I smoke?
Do I not smoke?
He kept texting me like, smoke, smoke, smoke, now, smoke.
Because I was, like, shitting my pants.
And I was worried, like, who's going to come through the door next?
Is it going to be the police?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know.
It's funny, bro.
People always forget that prankster's always nervous, bro.
He doesn't know what's going to happen next.
This is like one of my first pranks ever, again.
So like, I'm not like...
Trained.
Yeah.
And it's also crazy because like...
And it's interesting to like watch this and actually have you here and get your mindset like play-by-play.
Because like, you're going in thinking like, alright, I'm going to be here for like two minutes.
You're going to kick me out.
I'm going to get a funny reaction.
I'm going to go to my dentist appointment.
But instead it's like...
Nah, like, oh, I believe you.
Okay, let me go check with the dean.
And you're like, oh, fuck.
Now I'm stuck here with the kids.
Now you got the smart-ass bitch in the front asking you questions.
Yo, it's always the dumb girl, bro, in the front of the class asking the worst questions.
Well, I'll tell you what.
Y'all want to know why she asked that stupid-ass question?
So, when you sign up, For anyone, I mean, this is what I did when I went to college.
I always looked at the professor and I would search on Rate My Professor and I would always go with the professor that was easiest that I could get an A with.
So a lot of students sign up for classes simply on the professor.
So if the professor isn't there, you're going to be like, oh, what the fuck?
Like, yo, this is not what I signed up for.
And keep in mind, you're paying money, you're spending time, etc.
And then he also said, oh, if you don't show up three times...
You're failed.
Bro, most college students will fail just off of that because a lot of students don't show up.
They only show up for the exams, and they show up maybe for the important days, but people don't show up, bro.
Like, college is, to be honest with y'all, it's like an acceptable way to spend four years partying and doing drugs and doing dumb shit.
Very few kids actually take college seriously, and then they look at the professor up to four.
So, I could already see her mindset.
She's like, oh, what the fuck?
Like, this isn't a professor.
This dude looks crazy.
I'm going to have to show up every time.
So she's probably like, what the fuck?
So, all right, let's keep going.
So this is actually really funny.
So you pull out the cigarette now.
Hey, guys, mind you, this is in California.
I ain't going to say where, but this is in California.
Super woke, by the way.
Commie-fornia.
Yeah, commie-fornia.
So it pulls out a cigarette and starts smoking.
Holy.
She's recording!
She's recording that shit.
What?
Has this ever happened in one of your classes before?
This is my first class ever, Joe.
You're a freshman.
I'm a transfer.
Oh, where are you from?
I went to San Jose State in El Camino.
Ah, community college.
Very good.
Oh, shit.
Hello.
Hey.
Simeon, about what?
What class are you supposed to be teaching?
The consumer class.
Is that the dean now?
Excuse me?
This class is for 309.
And I had to make her come to the front because the camera can't see her.
Pardon me?
The consumer business class.
And you're teaching it?
Yes, I'm professor.
And I'm not teaching it.
Because my boss.
You want to talk to my boss?
Bradley Wellington, the second.
Where is he from?
From Arizona.
He's the richest man in Arizona.
He's supposed to just be teaching it.
Peter is crazy.
Can you talk to my boss, please?
Really fast.
I don't know who your boss is.
Where's your boss from?
I said from Arizona.
Are you supposed to be a guest lecturer?
No, this is my class.
Because this is my class.
You can't smoke in the classroom, sir.
Mr.
Wellington, can you...
I don't know who this is.
Can you talk to her?
Can you talk to her?
Hello?
Hello, who's this?
My name is Marvin.
We can smoke in the whole time.
This is Bradley Wellington.
What position are you in the school?
Look, I work in the College of Business.
I have a consumer science, real 9-I class that meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
He's supposed to be teaching the class today.
Everybody out from the other side of the building.
Everybody out from the other side of the building.
I'm Nadine's executive assistant.
This person doesn't have a contract.
We haven't given him a contract.
You don't know who you're speaking to!
I don't care who I'm speaking to.
I know who this room is assigned to and who's teaching the class.
You better care who you're speaking to because all your bills are paid because of me.
My bills and you don't pay my bills, sir.
All my money goes to that school.
I support this school.
He's supposed to be teaching today.
No, he is not the instructor.
And I am not having these...
No.
He's supposed to be at Arizona State University teaching today.
This is not Arizona State, this is Cal State Long Beach.
Oh, shit.
Are you kidding me?
Good exit strategy, right?
No, I am not kidding you.
This is not...
Well, apparently he did.
Wait, this isn't Arizona State?
This is not Arizona State?
No, this is Cal State Long Beach.
Mr.
Wellington.
Vladimir, you're supposed to be at ASU teaching today.
What are you doing at the wrong school?
I thought this was ASU. What is wrong with you?
You better apologize right now to everybody in class.
Stand up and say sorry to all the students and the teachers and the dean, please.
Oh my god, I'm...
Do it right now while I'm listening.
Why are you smoking?
Because it's my class.
I'm so sorry.
I thought this was my class in ASU. Okay.
So, I sent all the students to the other side of the building to wait.
Okay, so where in Arizona did you think- Where is Arizona?
Wait, why did you think this was Arizona?
This is California.
I don't know.
I'm from Russia.
Why would you think that?
I'm sorry.
I go Yo Rowley Wellington Yo Alright pause Yo Okay Did they arrest you for this or anything Did you get any trouble for this?
For this one, surprisingly, no.
So, they wrote about it in the school newspaper after this.
So, the first professor that...
They sent an email out, too.
I saw the email, bro.
This was legit.
Really?
The school sent out an email on this.
Yeah.
They sent out an email like, hey, this Russian gangster posed as a professor, blah, blah.
They legitimately sent an email out to all the students after this shit happened.
You never seen it?
Huh?
You never seen it?
No, I did.
The reason I went to the school is because one of the students was a fan.
He gave me the schedule and shit.
And he was terrified after they were going to find him.
I'm like, yo, don't trip.
How are they going to link you to me?
Yeah, of course not.
Yeah, because someone I think posted in the comments in the video like, yo, this is legit and they posted a reddit thing and it went like they sent out a full on email.
But the escape plan saying, oh, it's the wrong school was...
Yeah, yeah, that was great escape plan.
Facts.
And then this is probably the first time I went through this shit where we just go straight to the car.
I get in the back with the tinted windows, lay down, and the camera guy just like books it.
Because we knew we didn't have much time before the cops get there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's a big thing.
Of course.
I'm shocked that they weren't there the whole time.
Because if you notice, all the pranksters, they leave immediately.
As soon as possible, if they can.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's funny shit, man.
What's the other guys that used to do it, too?
They used to all get into fights.
I've got a channel.
Is it like a Mexican guy?
No.
He's a Middle Eastern.
Top-notch idiots.
Oh, I film with them all the time.
They're good friends of mine.
They'd be risking it to the T, bro.
They do, like, hood pranks.
Yeah.
In the hood.
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
Like, trying to, like, instigate a fight and shit?
Always, bro.
Oh, yeah, that's always.
Wait, which video did you do with them?
Which one was it?
Oh, we did a couple.
We did, like, are you trying to...
Well, my favorite video that I did with them is the Uber prank, where we call an Uber for dead bodies.
That's actually the first time we did that.
Yeah, yeah.
Yo, y'all can see, man.
This dude is wrong when it comes to...
And they actually...
Yeah, go ahead.
We stole the Uber's car, like, twice when we were doing that.
Wow.
That's how you know he had eight court cases at once, bro.
Like, yo, it's very difficult to do this stuff without, like, getting in trouble, man.
Oh, yeah.
So, when I did it without Top Notch, the Uber prank, like, a year later, the next time I did it, I actually got banned from Uber.
And so I had to call them to, like, you know, get the account back.
And the lady's like, oh, my God, like, I'm actually shocked you're calling back.
So tell me your side of the story.
What happened?
Because she thought we were putting a dead body in its trunk.
Oh, wow.
And I'm like, well...
I don't know.
What the big deal is, my friend was passed out.
We were just trying to put him in the Uber, and I don't know why the driver freaked out and drove away.
And you got it back?
Yeah.
Nice.
So what prank got you in the most trouble?
So the most...
probably the cupcakes.
The cupcakes one?
Yeah, the Gideon parody.
You want us to play a part of it?
Uh, sure, yeah.
What's the research?
It's really not gonna make a lot of sense without context, but...
So basically we're trying to do a JD on parody, and long story short, we just had to, like, kind of...
I mean, I was kind of trying to show how ridiculous, like, the scene he did is, and try to make ours even more ridiculous, so...
And dumbass me, I tried to explain that to the police after.
Oh!
So yeah, I got it here.
It was jacking things in the hood gone extremely wrong.
Do you want to get jacked with top-notch idiots?
That was wild.
And then you also...
You became famous.
At least I found you.
Mo said, can you throw it in the telegram?
I got it.
And then the other thing you became famous for was getting kicked out of Planet Fitness.
Yeah.
Bro, take us through, how did that all start?
Because I think that's how you kind of got started with the prank stuff.
That's how you kind of merged the fitness stuff into the prank stuff and then eventually segued over into the pranking stuff.
Because you had a fitness channel.
We all know fitness channels are monotonous and fitness channels are kind of dead nowadays, right?
Yeah.
At least, I think like, Finish Channel's like, Definitely had their prime from like 2010 to like 2015, 2016.
And then after that, they started to fall off.
But prank channels started to rise around that time, I would say.
But he's the only jacked prankster I know that can make shit funny because, bro, I want skinny, muscular.
You get better reactions.
Hell yeah!
Because people are scared.
So, what was I going to say?
So, yeah, tell us about the Planet Fitness pranks.
How'd those start?
Yeah, so, I mean, back then...
And what would you do?
I think I had, like, before I even had a prank channel, when I was just sporadically doing them on my fitness channel, I had, like, eight parts just trolling Planet Fitness.
And the first one I did, that's the first time I kind of went viral.
Back then, it was, like, 100k views in a day.
That was viral.
Yeah.
So, like, we just went to Planet Fitness and did a max-out set on the Smith machine of deadlifts, as many reps as I could.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know if you saw that one where, like, the...
I saw that one.
Yeah, where, like, the employee, he, like, threw my chalk out and he went crazy.
Okay.
Yeah, and then the next day, like, back when you could share videos...
Because you had to do it on a Smith machine.
Yeah.
Which made it even more ridiculous.
Yeah.
He did a bunch of Max Deadlifts guys with chalk on a deadlift machine, so it made it even more ridiculous.
And I had, like, a coach with me whistling.
Yeah.
Let me get this shit.
Hold on.
I'm going to get it.
Go ahead.
We got the one with the cupcake ready to go.
Cupcake?
Yeah.
All right.
We'll do the cupcake one right now, and then I'll pull up the...
I mean, before we start that one, I got to say, when you watch this, you'll...
Be like, okay, like, he deserved to get arrested for this.
But, like...
Context.
Yeah.
Okay, I got you.
I mean, I still think I deserve to get arrested for this.
Like, we should have just been, you know, quicker to get away.
No, no.
Cupcake one.
Yeah, the cupcake one.
But it's funny because, like, meeting a person, you're very gentle, very kind.
It's like, imagine being violent.
It's just like, wait, what?
Is that you?
But...
I mean, yeah, when I film, like, I go into a different mode, because, I mean, I have a vision for, like, how I want the prank to go, and, like, even if it makes me uncomfortable to do it, like, if I don't do it, who else is gonna do it, you know, so...
But what inspires you to do these pranks?
Was it just like come up randomly in your head or like you see other people doing pranks?
I mean I just think of like ideas that I think would be hilarious and then it's like I have to do them and sometimes when it's a day off it's like fuck now I actually gotta follow through and do it but like again if I don't do it like Do fans send you ideas too?
Yeah so I have a whole series where I do dares that fans leave me in the comments.
Those are some of my favorites to do.
The university shit that got me fucked that was actually a dare.
Oh wow.
Oh, the one that we talked about off-air?
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
The imaginary one that never happened.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He has some X-rated pants, guys.
Not safe for you, too.
Yeah, yeah.
Or Rumble.
Is that bad?
I don't even know why you mentioned that.
That event never happened.
I don't know what you're talking about, Eric.
Well, it never happened.
That's why it's like a fictional story.
Yeah, there you go.
I can tell fictional stories, right?
Well, you can, actually.
You can.
Or on Rumble, so we can talk about fictional stories all day.
Definitely.
It's in the Miami Takeover chat.
And I sent another one in there too with the deadlift one.
They're both there.
This is it, right?
I want to make sure I got the right one.
I'm pretty sure this is it.
Is this one right?
Yeah, it's funny because I remember watching this one back in the day.
Getting the backstory now is amazing.
Which one do we have three?
Let's do the cupcake one first.
That was my first arrest, and then...
Okay.
It's in there, Mo.
It's in there, but you know what?
Click the last one I put in with the deadlifts, then.
Oh, so the Super Chat.
Yeah, this is the Planet Fitness one.
Have you seen the one where I got attacked by the 6'7 guy recently?
I did see that one.
Okay.
Yeah, I did see that one.
That was real.
Like, he really attacked you?
Yes.
I think he's actually, like, retarded.
Retarded?
Yeah.
What the fuck, bro?
Because, like, he left to Africa after this, and he said that he caused the hurricane in LA. Oh, yeah, he retarded, bro.
He definitely, uh...
What?!
So this is the old school one guys.
Let's play this.
Let's roll this joint.
This is him and his buddy or a.k.a.
coach.
Go ahead.
What's up ladies and gentlemen?
My name is Eric Ganefsky from Ganefsky Fitness, the most optimal person in history.
And this is coach Vlad.
Sorry, Coach.
And my channel, Konevsky Fitness, just hit 5,000 subscribers.
So to celebrate, I'm going to be doing the bodyweight deadlift challenge, which means that I'm going to be deadlifting my body weight of 225 pounds for as many reps as you possibly can.
For those that are wondering, Planet Fitness is a judgment-free zone.
So you're not supposed to go in there and go super hard, lift heavy weights, make noise, grunts, wear tank tops.
They want it to be a very friendly zone.
They have pizzas on Wednesdays.
Myron, one thing I want to point out is that before I did this, nobody else had tried to do this shit.
And now everybody does it.
Getting the lung alarm pulled at Planet Fitness.
And at first, it used to drive me insane.
Because obviously, back then, I didn't have any subs.
And I was the first to do it.
And then all these bigger channels started.
I will say 100%.
You're the first one to troll Planet Fitness, by far.
Wow.
Like, he's their top...
Are you still banned from, like, all of them?
Well, I'm banned from half the country on the East Coast, but it's actually for the last time I did it, and they sued me, too, for it.
What?
I broke the lunk alarm.
I set it on fire by accident.
What?
Bro, this nigga crazy!
Like, yo...
What?
Like, yo, like...
Yeah.
Alright.
Well, you could argue by then you had here.
Well, you don't have any here right now, so, I mean...
They're gonna know it's him.
Oh, but, I mean, this one was two years ago when I said the Lunk alarm on fire.
Oh, that was recent.
Yeah, this is his first, like, at least that I remember.
Yeah, this was, like, my first one.
Oh, damn.
So this is the first one, and then it becomes worse and worse.
Like, yeah, this is just the first troll.
But this is back, like, when fitness channels were, like, a thing.
So, like, no one would think to do this because people were still making, like, real fitness content.
Like, oh, let me vlog my shit.
You know, this is, like, just to give you guys a go back in time here.
In 2013, guys like Chris Jones, Matt Ogis, Eric Helms, Omar Isoff, Lane Norton were coming into prominence, Brad Schoenfeld, like all of these fitness influencers, Jason Blaha, which you kind of look like him a little bit right now.
No offense.
He's a lot bigger in person, though.
Oh, is he?
Well, you know I do a character on him.
Oh yeah, you do.
All these guys were like, all these YouTube channels were huge for fitness.
What was the biggest fitness channel back then?
I'm trying to think.
2013.
Hodgkins?
It was twin muscle workout back then, which doesn't even exist anymore.
Wow.
Who else?
I know people in the chat are going to put it.
But these are like some of the biggest YouTube...
Oh, Jeff Side was huge at the time.
Jeff Side.
Z's had just passed away two years prior, but the Aesthetics Revolution was still huge.
Was Connor Murphy there or no?
No, Connor was later.
Connor comes like two years after this.
Okay.
I was really close with Connor like just when he started popping off.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Before he went crazy?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Michael Shee was big at this point.
So was C.T. Fletcher was huge at this point, too.
C.T. Fletcher was huge.
Shout out Rich Piana, but that was a little later.
Yeah, but people knew who he was, Rich Piana.
Put it this way.
Bodybuilding was huge at the time.
Fitness YouTube was literally on top.
So for someone to do this, like a segue from fitness into pranks, I think you were the first person to do it, bro.
I don't know anyone else that was doing it.
So, alright, let's go ahead and roll the clip.
Just to give guys a picture of what the fuck was going on back then.
Oh, he was already fell off by then.
Niggas were making fun of him.
But, uh, alright.
We can fast forward, but when they walk in...
Okay, so they walk in...
Let's go Eric!
Come on!
Come on!
Push away!
Come on!
Go!
Come here!
Yeah!
- - - - - - Man!
- Get the fuck out of here, man.
What are you guys doing here? - What the fuck is this?
It's chalk.
What the fuck is this?
Get out of here, man.
You gotta get the fuck out of here.
It's not right.
It's not right.
Why is this guy fucking filming?
What the fuck is he doing?
Why is he taking his job so serious?
He wants a lot.
He wants a lot, bro.
You gotta lift weights quietly.
Gotta lift weights quietly, man.
This is an older person setting gym in here, so you can't be, you know, maxing out reps here.
Personal records?
We can't do that here, man.
Bro, why was he being so pissed?
Because, like, I mean, at first he was, like, kind of calm, so we just kept, like, kind of going for a while until, like, yeah.
Because, like, this was...
It seems like the camera is what set him off when he found out y'all were recording.
Yeah.
But also, like, back then, it was such a pain in the ass for me to even film, because, like, I was 17 without a car.
I had to rely on, like, other people to, you know?
So I waited, like, months to go here, and, like, he just wasn't reacting.
So, like, I just kept pushing it, like, until he finally, you know...
Okay, alright.
Okay.
So you kept trolling him.
And then you said you got banned, like, permanently for sending the Lunk Alarm on fire?
Yeah.
Yeah, so apparently if you set it off for over two minutes, it just sets on fire.
I didn't know that.
So we went in as corporate, and we said we need to fix the lunk alarm.
And we came in with an axe as a tool.
I don't see that one, bro.
I don't see that one.
What the fuck?
An axe?
Yeah.
So we set the lunk alarm off for two minutes straight, and then it just turns off completely.
And when that happened, I'm like, oh, fuck.
Like...
Alright.
I'm gonna find it.
I'm gonna find it.
Let's read the chats, because I know y'all probably got a bunch to say.
And guys, again, it's FNFSuperChat.com if you guys want to get involved in the show and have your stuff read on screen.
Holy shit, that's fucking funny.
We got Dan Dan the Factor says, W8 hour stream.
Started my route at 6am.
Stream was over when I finished my recycle at 2pm.
Got to show my love.
How do I subscribe to Rumble?
Simple bro.
Must be on desktop, Safari or Google, Chrome.
Go to the actual live stream.
It'll be the bottom left or right.
It'll say subscribe.
That's how you actually join.
Or it'll say Castle Club TV. Either way is fine.
Cool.
And various layers, shout out to you, bro.
Have a great day, G's.
Big Boston CEO Network.
Let's go!
Alright, and then up next we have Iris Jackster says, Will you guys ever have Gary Breka on the show?
He's a local in Miami.
I actually met him at the UFC fight.
Shout out to him.
So it would be a great pod, possibly life-changing for many, bro.
It's a walking bastion of knowledge on bike-hockey and your body.
Yeah, he has clients like Grant Cardone, Steve Will Do It, He's very knowledgeable, so possibly in the future.
Okay, next one.
Guys69 says, That is true, by the way.
Yo, Mo, how was the wrestling stream?
We had a great time.
It was awesome.
Eight hours, bro?
Yeah, we went eight hours, man.
I knew when Myron was like, yo...
Fuck it.
He started over Uber Eats.
I told Bills, I said, yo, Bills, we're going to see the sun, bro.
But since it was a wrestling topic, I could have went.
I really could have went hours.
I could have gone even more hours just off wrestling topics alone.
Y'all niggas brave, bro.
Hey, I was wrestling, bro.
Nah, I got other shit to do.
Okay.
Jay says, y'all need to get James.
Okay, guys, just so you know.
I spoke to James Saxton recently.
He's coming on the pod.
So we're setting up a date right now for him to come down to Miami.
But he is, I want to say, the best person I know right now.
Talk about divorce.
He's a divorce attorney, so he knows behind the scenes what's happening.
And honestly, guys, he's fighting for men to become better and win cases because, once again, the system is not for us.
So shout out to him, man.
I was supporting.
Can you tell us how it was growing with the Fatu family?
Zilla Fatu is getting into wrestling now.
What happened to the beef with Cassidy?
We'll save the chat.
Canter Time says, Eric, how was it meeting Rybeck and Billy Gunn?
What other WWE wrestlers you met and did you troll them too?
We'll also save that check.
Alright.
King Colonels.
Burbank PD is horrible.
If you fart, they will arrest you for air pollution.
I'm telling you, bro.
It's crazy.
Crooked Cops.
Myron, take me out.
Shut up, bitch.
Style.
Keep up the great content.
You're changing lives.
We'll save that one as well.
Jacoza says, Myron, I implemented what you taught me and I now have an opportunity to buy a condo in upstate New York.
I have a conventional loan.
My first property.
I run the numbers and I'll be cash flowing for $100.
Is it worth it?
I'll say that for my ring too as well, but I mean, bro, once it's above zero, you're winning, bro.
Honestly.
Okay, so Masculinity Archive says, did that professor ever invite you?
Okay, hold on.
He's back.
Let's go out to the other one real quick.
So he says, Eric, can you tell us how it was going up with the Fatu family?
Oh, so I trained, when I started training for pro wrestling, I actually trained with Rikishi, who was my trainer for a while.
Rikishi?
Yeah.
Bro, that is the only character you know in wrestling, bro.
Really?
His ass shit.
Bro, what?
I know, bro, but that's all I know for wrestling, bro.
Yeah, so I just trained for, I didn't train that long because I actually got injured.
I almost died like four months into my training.
But it was fun for the four months that I did it and then I eventually started training with a different trainer.
But shout out Jacob Fatu, I think that's his nephew.
He's cool as fuck and I hope he gets into WWE. Nice.
Alright, next one.
Okay, how's it meeting Ray Beck and Billy Gunn?
Ryback.
Yeah, so I made a video trolling WWE superstars at WrestleCon.
Billy Gunn.
I think he's friends with Mike O'Hearn, and Mike doesn't really like me, so he was kind of a dick.
I feel like he wouldn't be if he wasn't friends with Mike.
Ryback was cool as fuck.
I mean, I wanted to troll so many of the wrestlers, but I also kind of felt kind of bad, because these are my childhood heroes.
Yeah, you don't want to mess it up.
I remember seeing Matt Hardy, and I'm thinking about it, and I'm just like, Oh, I just can't do it.
You know?
Yeah, yeah.
But next year at WrestleCon, like, I'll be more prepared.
I definitely want to troll again.
Okay.
I feel like I could have done so much more.
It's just, like, in the moment, it was like...
Like, I looked up to all these guys, like, I just can't.
All right.
And then we have next...
Turi Love says, Hey, please do a woman's bodybuilding show as a trans.
I actually did that back in 2016 before trans was even a big thing.
You did?
Yeah, I competed as a woman.
What?
They just kicked me off stage, yeah.
Why did I see that one?
I don't think it's still on YouTube, that video.
Oh, that's why?
Yeah.
Wait, why didn't you post it?
Why didn't you post it?
Oh, it just got deleted, but I have it up on my Facebook for people who want to see it.
Okay.
What's your Facebook?
Huh?
What's your Facebook?
Just Eric Kanowski.
Cool.
Any more, Mo?
Oh, one more.
One more for Eric.
Yeah.
Okay, so he wants to know, did that professor ever invite you as a guest lecturer after the prank?
I know, but that would have been dope.
But what happened after is apparently they moved classrooms for the whole semester.
Because of you?
Yeah, I know the first date was because it smelled like a casino in there.
Like, who gives a fuck?
Like, why are they making such a big deal?
But, like, the other professor, remember I told you that I tried to do another classroom before this and it didn't work out?
So he had, like, a security guard just for him, like, the whole semester after that.
Because I guess he thought I was going to come back and, like, I don't know.
What?
Which is, like, kind of excessive because, like, once they see my channel and know it's a prank, like, what are they so scared of, you know?
That's crazy.
I couldn't imagine students in there with what they were thinking.
Like, what's going on right now?
That's funny.
Alright, and then we got any donors from Streamlabs?
Yeah, we got like, I think maybe two.
We got Liam LA. He donated $5 on Streamlabs.
He said, we're Anatoly.
Yeah, where's Anatoly?
I don't know.
Who's Anatoly?
Well, there's two Anatolys that I know of.
There's the Russian baker that I fuck with in every video that I do.
And there's also the YouTuber Anatoly that like...
Have you seen the prankster that's blowing up named Anatoly?
It's this Russian guy.
He like dresses up as a janitor and then he like...
He's like a really strong powerlifter.
But like, yeah, he wants...
He got like a million...
Five million subs or something in like just a couple months.
It's pretty crazy.
Yeah.
But then the Russian baker Anatoly, if that's who you're talking about, then W. I don't even know.
And then next one more?
We have Brandon here, donated $3.
He said, I'm Canadian, 18 years old, work at a minimum wage job and live with my parents and want to save up for a few years to invest in real estate.
How much do you think I should be aiming to save for one or two properties and how would you suggest I store the money?
Thank you.
Yeah, so you're in Canada, so it's pretty similar to the U.S. I would just say, make sure you have reserves because you can get a property, of course.
Let's say you got like $15,000, $20,000 saved up and get a property easily with an FHA loan.
I think the same thing on Canada as well.
But once you get a property, things will go wrong.
So you won't have reserves in there.
I would say extra $5,000, $10,000 if you can.
So for each property, I would say have at least $20,000, $25,000 for each property just to be safe.
30-40 would be best, but I'd say between 30 and 25 would be fine for both properties.
So, one for 25, first property 25k, next one 25k as well.
So, 50k in total for everything, roughly.
Is that it?
Yes.
Cool.
So, Eric, let me ask you this, bro.
Out of all your pranks, right, what's your most, like, I want to say desirable, treasurable one that you remember?
What's memorable?
It would have to be the professor.
Just nothing will ever...
That was just magic.
The fact that the professor got the class taken away from him the other semester and he actually believed it.
And the dean kind of fell for it at first too.
What are the odds?
I don't think I could ever recreate that one.
So let's say someone's watching right now, right?
And they want to be a prankster as well.
What's the first step to being a prankster, you would say?
And making that on YouTube?
First step.
Shit, it's hard to say because, I mean, for me, a big part of it is the way I look.
Like, I feel like that's what really sets me apart.
And just doing the super ballsy stuff.
So, like, I don't know.
So, let's say I'm on YouTube.
Yeah.
I have a channel.
And maybe I'm in the gym, but I don't look like you.
Yeah.
Any tips for, like, marketing or getting yourself off the ground, you would say?
Yeah.
I mean, like I always say, like, just make the best possible content you can and be consistent, and eventually, like, time will do its thing.
Like, you will get recognized for it, you know?
Okay.
Yeah, because, like, for me, like, it took a couple years.
Like, for a year and a half, I was stuck at, you know, 100k.
But, like...
Then just randomly, it finally got into the algorithm.
But, like, I just kept going because I knew, like, my shit's, like, too good to, you know, not eventually blow up.
Because I think most people, they get on YouTube and they'll start doing pranks, but they don't get a lot of views and then they quit.
And I'm like, damn.
Well, especially because, like, the behind the scenes of the pranks, like, there's...
Just getting the cameraman, and then you have to do all this.
Like, the shit that you see, the reactions, those are the good ones.
There's so much, like, cringe that you have to deal with behind the scenes, you know?
There's so many moving parts people don't understand.
And, like, it's tough because that reaction that you want, you don't always get.
Yeah, it takes a lot.
You have to go through a lot of cringe to get the good reactions.
And, you know, it's not for everybody.
Would you say that, like, now is a good time to get into prankstering or no?
I would say yeah, because right now, even though I'm not a fan, because most of the prank channels right now, they mostly just vlog, and then they openly film their pranks.
So I don't fuck with the style, but those guys are so popping right now.
It's more like IRL streams, right?
Basically, like what Judeon does?
Yeah, yeah.
But yeah, Judeon, Loaf, fucking all those guys are popping right now.
So pranks are, I feel like, as big as they've ever been.
My only concern is with pranks is that on some level, you can start and start small, but the bigger you get, the more you have to compensate to do bigger pranks.
On some level, it's okay, but at a certain point, you can do it more and more and more.
You kind of have to break barriers that you never break before, which might be illegal stuff too.
Well, I feel like...
I don't know.
Well, like, for example, when you get bigger and you get more connections, for example, like Nelk, they say...
I'm a huge fan, by the way, but they say that, like, they can't do pranks nowadays.
Too famous.
Corporate.
Corporate as well.
But, like...
Happy Dad.
Yeah, I didn't think about that.
But, like, you're saying, like, any store owner wouldn't fucking let them pretend to be a fake employee, like, you know?
Like, let them do it, and then there'd be no legal repercussions, you know?
True.
But then it wouldn't be a real prank anymore.
Well, why not?
Because if...
Yeah, you're right, actually, because the store owner's in on it with them.
Yeah, but the customers don't know.
Okay, yeah, that's fine.
Like, I've done that with a bar before where I was a bouncer at the bar, and, like, the owners were in on it, but, like, the people are still being pranked.
Gotcha.
Like, I feel like when you're bigger and you have a lot of connections, like, you can just do a lot of those pranks.
Gotcha.
So you say use the connections to kind of, like, get leverage and then do the prank?
Yeah.
Okay.
Makes sense.
And then, for example, I mean, Nelk, they could probably fucking, I don't know, prank other celebrities and shit, like...
When you're at that level, I feel like you could do so much more.
Because I saw Gideon go to the conference with Dylan and Logan Paul.
He was right there in VIP. How did he get right there in VIP? But connections.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
Cool.
Any more rants?
No.
I think that's it.
That was it?
Okay.
We have one about real estate.
Okay.
What was the question?
Or did you answer it?
I did one answer, but I think this one was more for you.
Amaran, I implemented what you taught me and I now have an opportunity to buy a condo in upstate New York with a conventional loan.
My first property, I ran the numbers and I'll be cash flowing $400.
Is it worth it?
Well, if you ran in numbers, if you're getting a cash on cash return of 8% plus, then I would say, yeah, go for it.
Especially if you can increase the rent and make more money.
But it depends on what you're willing to tolerate.
I mean, in upstate New York, an 8% cash on cash return, that might not be enough for you.
But I'd say anything above 10, you're really good.
8 is the minimum.
I like to be 10 and above.
So you gotta figure out your cash on cash return.
That's the number.
Anything else?
Yeah.
Demboys, act like the Russian gangster on After Hours.
Make girls believe you are the gangster.
Oh, man!
Can I say it?
Go ahead.
He said it.
Go ahead.
Yeah, so hopefully the girls aren't watching, but yeah, I'm gonna go as Vladimir on After Hours.
They're gonna hopefully believe I'm actually Vladimir.
Allegedly.
Yeah.
Allegedly.
Anything else we got here?
Dogshitposter69.
If I got kicked out of 109 bars for pranks, am I the problem or are the 109 bars the problem?
Also, why does anal and reach hate y'all so much?
Are they working for them boys?
Whatever, bro.
They're haters, man.
Yeah.
We're at 1.5 million despite everybody hating on us, and it took them, what, 12 fucking 10 plus years to reach what we've done in about three?
And this is a blessing.
And they only got, yeah, and they only got 500k more than us, so whatever, bro.
Content speaks volumes, man.
We're out here saving lives.
Put the world champion video with him and the 6'8 guy.
Okay, that's the one you deferred to before, right?
I have a short of it, if you want to put the 60 second version.
Sure.
What else we got here?
Again, LAX goes, the belt in the sky at the end of the 6-7 guy video was hilarious, okay?
And then Jay Costa, hey, if I get approved for a conventional loan now for my first property, can I still get approved for an FHA loan for my second property?
Looking for a quadplex to start?
Can't thank you guys enough.
Yes, you can get up to, if I'm not mistaken, four FHA loans.
Yes, four.
It's four, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, you can get up to four, bro, so you'll be good.
I don't know if you can have them all out at the same time simultaneously, though.
Can you have them all out at the same time?
That's a very good question.
I'm not sure if you can.
I doubt it.
You'd probably have to make...
Because you'd have to live in it for a year.
So you'd probably have to make it work for a year, get out, then apply again and get another one.
Yeah.
But if you can make it simultaneously, I don't know.
I think it's the way you...
Maybe with a realtor?
Okay.
Or behind the scenes, but...
I love Jason Blau.
He was my red pill channel for building muscle and strength back in the day.
But Eric Konefsky's Jason Blau pranks are the absolute gold.
Ha ha.
Yeah, he impersonates his other fitness blogger.
Have you ever met him in person?
No, I'm scared to because he's a lot bigger in person.
Really?
He's probably like seven feet tall, yeah.
Is he really?
It's pretty scary, yeah.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Because he's 5'9", but like in person, he's a lot bigger.
Oh, okay.
So he's like seven foot.
Oh, gotcha.
Damn.
Yeah, because he's also someone that's like super hated in the fitness industry.
Oh, he actually called me one time and said that if I come to his gym, he's shooting me on sight.
What?
Yeah.
Damn.
What did you do that has him so fucking...
Because he's in Texas.
Yeah, so back when I was actually cool with Cassidy, we were going to do a meet-up at his gym, back when we all had fitness channels.
And then as soon as we announced it, he calls me on the phone.
He's like, just so you know, if you show up at my gym, I'm going to have to shoot you.
Like, nothing personal.
What?
Like, did y'all have really bad beef at the time for him to say that?
Well, this was actually before I had the beef with him.
He just really hated Cassidy at the time.
So he's like, just because you're associated with that creepy cub, Cassidy Campbell.
If you come to my gym, I'm going to have to shoot you.
Why did they hate each other?
Why did him and Cassidy not get along?
I don't even remember, to be honest.
But Creepy Cuck Cassidy Campbell, that's a great name that Jason Blaha gave him.
Okay.
Okay.
The last one here.
The only value that I have is what I create.
I'm never stopping to say Tristan Myron and Fresh always keep adding value to life.
No new friends have birthed me.
Shout out to you, bro.
DG Bo.
Blessings, bro.
Shout out to you, my friend.
Okay, so where were we at?
We were going to do...
Cupcake one.
Cupcake one?
Yeah.
Okay, this is the one with Gideon, right?
And we all know where the cupcake comes from, right?
Oh, man.
What do you mean?
You know where the cupcake comes from, right?
What?
With Jideon and the cupcake?
No.
Well, okay, first of all...
My friend Alex Rosen is the one who caught EDP originally.
Okay, that's what I was going to say.
That's the EDP thing.
And now Jadeon's going to get all the fucking credit for it, but that's a whole different discussion.
I know it was your buddy that...
Well, I didn't know he was your buddy, but I knew it was the other...
He showed up on stream wearing a cupcake costume, which is hilarious.
But the knocking into the cupcakes, this was like complete coincidence.
This had nothing to do with it.
Oh, okay.
Because this is back in 2021, keep in mind.
Oh.
Yeah.
When did EDP get caught?
A few months before that.
Recently?
2021.
No, the first time he got caught in April of 2021.
From Gideon?
No, by my friend Alex Rosen.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So his friend caught him first, then Gideon after.
Okay.
Damn.
Yo, these dudes are crazy, bro.
It's like, bro, you don't learn your lesson, bro?
Yeah.
Like, what the hell?
All right.
Let's go ahead.
So, all right.
Parody goes wrong.
Arrested with felony charges.
Oh, Lord.
Here we go.
Knocking over cupcakes.
Yeah, so there's like the four stages of trying to be the next Judeon, and this is like the final stage.
Here, order for Judeon, right?
Pizza?
Yeah, Judeon.
Why can't that be so funny?
No, no, no, no.
Is there a problem?
Because you kind of looked at me like...
What's so funny?
Okay, wait, wait, before you go, we have to tell you something.
No, because you probably think, oh, these two guys are crazy, because it's so hot right now, and they're wearing clothes, but it's a prank!
You see that guy?
Yeah, so this probably makes no sense watching it, but like, uh, like without context.
But, like, so basically I did an ordering pizza naked video before, like, completely naked.
And then Judeon did a video ordering pizza and underwear, and he got, like, a hundred times as many views.
Wow.
So here I was, like, explaining it, like, we're gonna take it even up a notch now.
We're gonna order pizza fully clothed.
So, like, just watching it without context, it looks stupid.
Oh, okay, I was confused.
I was like, wait, hold on.
What's going on here?
Wait, shouldn't you be clothed when you order pizza?
Okay.
Alright.
And then, uh, the other guy, what's his name?
Because I think I've seen him on other channels.
Who?
No one's safe?
Yeah, the guy that you're, uh, that you're filming with.
Tallerway guy.
Yeah.
Yeah, no one's safe.
Is he out of Florida?
Yes, he's on house arrest right now.
He's the only person who's gotten fucked worse than me for the pranks.
He has two more weeks on house arrest.
He's probably watching right now.
Shout out to him.
I've seen his stuff before.
Yeah, he's a fan too.
Okay.
If I'm not mistaken, I saw the one...
Was it trying to move drugs with Uber?
Is he the one that did that?
Yeah, he does all the smoking weed.
Yeah, he had like bags of sugar, I think.
And he tried to like put it in an Uber and it was like drugs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think it was Oregano that he had disguised.
Oregano, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it looked like drugs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, I saw that.
That's funny.
As a prankster, when you get like charges and stuff, does that lower your morale?
Because I'm just curious because if I got charges, I'd be like, damn, I don't do this shit no more.
I always expected that it would happen.
I feel like it's just part of being a prankster.
I didn't think that it would be like...
Because when this happened, we got $20,000 bail each and it was a felony vandalism.
I did not expect that to be the first charge.
I was like, holy shit.
Wow.
And then, like, I didn't think the process of, like, probation and shit was gonna be, like, as crazy as it was.
But I expected to get charges.
Like, I figured that's just part of it.
And luckily now, like, all the charges besides, like, one small misdemeanor have been dropped.
Awesome.
Yeah.
Alright, nice.
It was $20,000 worth of merchandise they alleged that you guys broke?
No, so over $400 of shit is a felony in California, felony vandalism, even though apparently you can steal $1900.
Oh yeah, yeah, what the hell?
So maybe we should have just picked it up and walked out with it.
Yeah, you would have been better off stealing it than destroying it.
God damn, okay.
Wow.
But our bail was $20,000 each.
Oh my god.
Okay, so y'all had to come up with $2,000?
1500, because we had a family friend, Bale Bondsman.
But still, at the time, none of us even had that much.
Yeah, come up with 3K to get both y'all out.
Goddamn.
Well, also our camera guy.
Oh, my God.
All three of y'all got arrested.
All right.
Oh, shout out camera guy, Mike.
He's the one who actually showed me your guys' Fresh and Fit podcast.
Oh, wow.
Shout out to you, Mike.
Shout out to you, Mike, man.
Mike and I. Free Mike, man.
Well, he's out now, so good.
All right, what else do we got?
Sorry, let's go back to it.
How long ago was this when you guys filmed this?
Huh?
This was how long ago?
This was in 2021, and then the police fucking took the camera away.
I didn't get it back until like a year later when I posted it.
Gotcha.
Okay.
We can fast forward this a bit.
Where do you want us to go?
Where the cupcake scene starts.
So like way later.
Probably further than this.
Yeah.
Way, way, way further.
Yeah.
No one's safe.
Yeah.
Probably right around here.
Best bros.
Uh, yeah, yeah.
Right here?
Okay.
So y'all are bowling?
Yeah, it's the next scene.
The scene is about to end, yeah.
You guys had a bro-ship?
Yes.
You're Russian?
Yes.
I can tell by your accent.
I Russian's At the final level.
World War 4.
One of the things that has become popular prankster.
Yeah, I cut that part out.
Who the hell else would ever think of that?
Well, after a bit of thinking, we came up with something just slightly more ridiculous.
We were going to call security on toy action figures.
And once we did this, we would finally take over all of YouTube.
Excuse me, sir.
Where's security?
Security?
Yes.
What's going on?
There's this guy harassing me.
I'm very scared because he's trying to fight me or something.
The guy over there, I don't want to have to fight him, you know?
Because, you know, I was in jail seven years in Russia.
I don't want to go back.
You got security right now.
This guy about 6'4", he has red hair.
Okay.
He's not wearing a mask.
Oh, it's all...
Yes.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Then you got the mask off.
- See, look how I'm wearing it though. - Yours is in Georgia?
- Yes, sir.
He has a short off.
Can you talk to him?
Can you call 911?
Of course, of course.
So, if you still feel safe shopping, you can.
And if you don't, I have people that can walk in here.
I don't feel shame, but I need to shop right now.
Look, he's right there.
He has a short off.
Okay.
So, just because someone tells me something, I can't go and do it.
I would have to review video, look at all that good stuff.
He has it on video right here.
He's recording everything.
Can you come with me, please, so I feel safe?
What I'm gonna do is go on camera and I'm gonna try to review what you're saying is going on, so that way I can go with the manager and then we can ask him to leave.
And then he can't record inside this building.
Yes, so it's for my...
These guys are taking me.
Okay, so I'm gonna go with the manager because you wanna keep recording.
Now they're gonna ask you to leave because you're recording.
You can ask me to leave.
Okay.
Management, come in.
I'm gonna beat this guy's ass if he doesn't stop.
You understand?
Yeah, I can't stop him.
So you want me to go beat his ass?
You're not gonna come at me.
I never said that.
I was trying really hard to get him to go with my manager.
Can you call some police?
This guy right there?
Yeah, let me show you.
The guy with the shirt off.
Not the guy in the black.
What would you like me to do?
Tell him to leave the store?
Just because he's wearing underwear like that?
Yes.
Okay, but if a woman was doing it, it'd be no problem.
Can you please stop recording?
No, I need to protect myself.
I'm gonna call PD because they won't stop recording and I'm gonna review for that.
Call PD. Excuse me, here's the guy I just spoke to, right?
So if you're not going to help me, I'm just gonna go fuck him up right now, okay?
You're not going to make me up?
Are you going to come to me or not?
Because if not, I'm going to go kick his ass right now.
Okay, I'm going to go fuck him up right now.
That's it.
Shout out to the briefcase.
What the heck?
Hey, listen, you!
What?
This guy needs to stop harassing me.
What are you talking about?
I'm just stopping for my daughter right now.
No, this guy.
I see the way he's looking at me.
Him right here?
He's wearing his underwear in the store, no mask.
Are you kidding me?
I'm literally just stopping for my daughter right now.
No, you're not.
Do you want to fight right now?
Yeah, I will.
Are you trying to square up?
Are you trying to square up?
Huh?
What are you trying to do, bro?
What the fuck?
Two good-ass men, bro.
Yo, yo.
Oh!
What the hell?
Oh!
So I know Walmart loves revenge is watching this right now.
Like, what the fuck are these niggas doing?
Yo, let's keep going.
No, I bet everybody in the store, like, without any context, this is literally like, what the fuck?
Like, if I saw this, I'd be like, what the fuck?
But that was kind of the point.
It's an epic battle.
Actually, it's an epic battle.
Oh!
What the hell?
I love you.
He jumped over to him.
Are you serious?
What's that?
You're trying to shop for my daughter.
I'm trying to shop for my son.
Look what you did.
Bro, do you have a lighter?
A lighter?
What was that?
Look what you started.
I'm just trying to shop for my daughter.
Your friend was harassing me in front of the whole story.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, you were buying.
He wasn't looking at you, bro.
He was being fine.
He was being chill.
You wrote that wrong.
Let me borrow your lighter.
Okay, fine.
No way, bro.
What is that, Marijuana?
That's why you're so stupid.
This dude, he puts on like a Walmart, like a customer service vest.
And he'll go into Target saying like, y'all are trash and stuff like that.
And he'll be like, bro, I've been here for five years.
You know what's hilarious?
When he was visiting me in Austin, his name is Tanner.
This employee left his vest in the parking lot, in a shopping cart or something, and it says Tanveer.
And it says the five-year certified veteran whatever.
So he's like, I have to.
I have to keep this vest.
And that's where he got the whole thing.
Yeah, because he walks around like that, and he'll start shit with customers in Walmart.
And then one time he did it where he went to Target, and he was telling people, like, why are you shopping here?
Like, Walmart's the best.
Blah, blah, blah.
That's random to have that vest though.
And the target people would kick him out and shit.
That's random to have that vest.
And he had the yellow joint, so you knew it was like...
Official.
Yeah.
Not the shitty blue one like every employee has.
He has the yellow one.
Alright, let's go back to the video.
Smoking at Walmart, bro?
Oh my god.
Yo, y'all are crazy, bro.
Damn, that shit hurts.
You're smoking a cigarette?
You think it's better?
Yes, it's better.
You think cigarettes are better than weed?
Yes, it's better for your brain.
Why is that?
That's why I'm not so stupid like you.
It's healthy for your brain?
Cigarettes make you think the action figure was attacking me.
There was no action to be here.
It was a person.
I saw it.
You know what?
I'm keeping your lighter.
You're keeping my lighter?
Yeah.
I'm keeping your lighter, bro.
I'm keeping these two.
Are you fucking serious?
What are you going to do, bro?
Wait, wait, wait.
Where's your guy?
You see this guy right here?
Look at this.
Boom!
Look at this.
You see what you're doing?
Boom!
Piece of shit!
He's talking shit to me in front of everybody.
Why would you do that to Roman Reigns?
How about that?
How do you feel about that?
Why would you do that?
I just attacked your friend.
That's my friend.
No, he's dead now.
- How are you gonna leave, bro?
- There you go.
- Oh my god. - Is your cameraman visible or is he hidden?
Well, he's visible, but we're doing the TV on parody, so we're doing the whole openly filming.
Protect me.
Protect me.
Yo, protect me.
That nigga's like, uh...
You can see a smile at that.
Come on.
They charged us for this part, too.
You want to take my friend?
He's smoking the whole time?
You wanna take my friend, huh?
You wanna take my friend, huh?
Your friend's dead now.
Yeah, we got smoke outside.
How long were y'all doing that?
Like fighting and shit like that?
It must have been like five minutes at least.
- This is great, buddy.
- Yeah, this is before I ever got arrested. - Sometimes it's just a move on.
- We did not give a fuck.
- Just run, bro! - We passed all four levels, and now we too are going to go home, upload this, and get five million subscribers and hundreds of millions of views.
Well, unfortunately the police had other plans.
What are you guys doing?
That's the funniest skit for YouTube.
Funny skit?
Yeah.
How would you feel?
Do you want people coming in when you're grocery shopping with your kids, banging into stuff, knocking stuff over, smoking inside the store?
Do you want that?
I mean, if I'm telling the truth, like, I would probably think it's funny.
Yo!
That is a jeep!
Oh, it's a Burbank.
Okay, Burbank, yeah.
Yeah, if this was in L.A.L.A., they wouldn't even come.
Wow.
That's a cameraman too?
Yep.
How'd y'all get the body cams?
Our lawyer got it.
Oh yeah, your lawyer's got it.
And now, here we are ten months later.
Sentenced to one year probation and facing up to one year in jail if we get arrested again.
That's fucking crazy.
Wow.
That was intense, though.
Being a shopper in there, bro.
This is why people fake pranks.
Like, yo, y'all are dedicated to the mission, man.
Like, yo, a lot of people are not ready.
Oh, you know what's funny?
I think it was in the body cam footage where I'm watching the cops talk to the employees.
They're like, oh, you're so stupid.
You should have planned this out with us beforehand.
Like, yeah, right.
Like, you're going to let me do this?
No.
Definitely not.
That's fucking hilarious, man.
Okay, so as a prankster, when does it stop, bro?
Because like I said earlier, you've got to elevate more and more and more, but you might get in bigger trouble.
Well, I'm kind of past that phase, I feel like, where I would do shit like this.
I feel like I have certain shit I've learned.
Stay out of places like Burbank, no universities.
And I don't feel like I really, really crossed the line with shit.
I saw some British pranksters, I don't know if it's real or not, where they go inside people's houses.
Yeah, that wasn't that bad, bro.
Honestly, that was not that bad.
Yeah, like, I would never, like, go inside somebody's house or something, you know?
Yeah.
I think I have a pretty good idea of, like, first of all, like, where to draw the line and, like, what's cringe and, like, what's funny, you know?
Okay.
At least I think.
All right.
Fair enough.
Cool.
So, oh, I had to ask this.
Bodybuilding.
You did a huge transformation.
Can you type in Eric Konefsky transformation?
Where you basically, you know, you did a whole prep.
You lost like 100 pounds, something crazy.
Take us through that bulk and that cut in that competition.
Well, when I started lifting, I was 130 pounds.
I think that's your most viewed video, right?
The transformation?
It was, yeah.
And then I bulked up to 317 pounds in my biggest.
And yeah, for that...
Yeah, I lost like 100-something pounds.
Eventually, I went up and down a million times.
But yeah, the biggest I was was 317 pounds and...
I think the most I lost in one cut was something like that, 80-90 pounds.
How long did you bulk for versus cutting?
The big bulk, I went for two years straight.
Holy shit, yeah.
Yeah.
Because I was never one of those guys who always want abs and want to stay linear around.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, I'm still not.
Like, I don't, you know, I don't get why so many people are obsessed with that.
Yeah.
And I figured to put on real size, I need to just commit to the bulking.
Yeah.
And although I could never do the fitness bodybuilding thing again full time.
Oh, because it was just like...
It was boring.
Yeah, it is boring as fuck.
But if I didn't do that, I wouldn't be able to do the pranks with the physique.
Yeah, yeah.
So I am really grateful that I put in that work and that time.
Yeah, to bulk up to get to the size.
But now you're just maintaining the size versus dieting.
I feel like I'm slowly deteriorating.
Because it is harder to...
Obviously, it's hard to maintain that much size.
Yeah, how many calories do you have to take in a day to maintain?
Not even that much, honestly, like 4-5 thousand.
Because you're a tall guy, you're like, what, 6'1", 6'2"?
About 6 foot, yeah.
Yeah, you're like 6 foot 6'1".
And then how much do you weigh?
You got that video ready?
Right now I'm about 260.
Holy shit, man.
So, I gotta ask, man.
You weigh as much as Bradley Maher, pretty much, and you're like 2 inches shorter.
I gotta ask, bro.
What?
Natty or not?
Well, first of all, I did a video back when I did the fitness stuff.
Um, I don't, I did probably more shit than like any pro bodybuilder.
Like at one point I went super crazy with it.
Oh wow.
And like, yeah, I, yeah.
And I, and I remember like now, now it's great because like more and more, uh, guys that, you know, are being upfront.
Yeah.
Being upfront about it.
But I remember like a decade ago, like 2013, that prime time I was talking about, no one talked about it, bro.
Cause, um, you would lose your sponsorship.
But you know, to be real though, from what we've seen, especially everyone does it.
I mean, it's not, like, secret.
But what I don't understand is why Natty or Not is such a big thing.
Because, like...
I think it's big for the fake Natty's.
Like, for the people that...
Why do people care, though?
I know.
It's weird, bro.
Like, if The Rock is Natty or Not, how is it going to change your life?
Yeah.
No, I agree.
I always thought it was weird, too.
But I think it's more of a crusade to catch the people that claim Natty that aren't.
But if you're like, oh no, I'm not Natty, no one bothers you.
But if you...
But then they're like, oh, you're gonna die, this and blah blah blah.
You can never win in fitness with the trolls.
Yeah, you can't.
But at least they won't...
Like Rich Piano, a big reason why he was so respected is because he was like, yeah, I'm on gear.
Did you read his comments?
You're gonna die.
All the comments always.
Well, to be fair, Leverking is Natty.
I'm just saying, bro.
He did it, though.
He did it.
Do we got it, guys?
Oh, you know I do a Liver King character, too?
You should, bro.
I do it already.
Oh, you do?
Yeah.
And people think I'm actually him.
I have people running up to me at the mall like they think I'm Liver King.
Like, taking photos with me and shit.
You know what would be wild?
If you sold them products, bro.
That would be so messed up, bro.
That would be so messed up.
No, I go, like, putting raw meat in people's food at the food court and shit.
Oh, and injecting myself in person?
No way.
Yeah.
You're wild, bro.
Okay, so...
Liver King.
If you met him, you think he'd be cool with it?
Yes, I think he seems like he has a good sense of humor.
Okay, okay.
Well, here's what I wanted to ask you guys.
The next character I actually want to do is...
I'd have to die down a little for this, but Andrew Tate.
Oh.
Do you guys think...
Because I'm a huge fan.
Do you guys think he would be cool with it if he saw it?
Or would...
Does he not have a sense of humor like that?
I think Andrew has a sense of humor.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean...
Especially if it's from a good place.
Well, obviously, it would be like...
There would be some satire in it, but it is from a good place.
I'm a huge fan, you know?
Because there's a guy that looks...
No, sorry.
There's a guy that's dressed like Andrew.
But he does the sus stuff.
That does some weird stuff.
I'm like, bro, come on, bro.
That's an L. Yeah, that's an L. And that dude's, like, yeah, Cloud Chaser.
We call him Bottom G. Yeah, that's an L. I'm like, bro, what's wrong with you, man?
But...
I'm trying to find it on YouTube, bro.
Where's the...
Do you know how to find...
Because I put in a Konefsky transformation, is it?
Yeah, the original video's down, so...
Damn.
It might be kind of hard to find.
Yeah, I'm trying to put it...
Because it was an epic transformation, bro.
I remember having millions upon millions of views, and I was like, holy crap, this is lit.
Really inspirational.
There's a picture, I guess, but it's not his video.
I guess we could show that if we got the photo.
Yeah, let's show that.
All right.
What was it like meeting Rich Piano?
I was with him three days before he died.
Wow.
Shit.
What was his spirits like?
What was he like?
Oh, he was always awesome to me because the first time I came up to him, he was probably my biggest inspiration back then.
I told him, I'm going to do your program.
And nobody even did it at that point.
Even he didn't do it himself.
Yeah.
Which one?
The 8 hour arm workout?
No, the 12 meals a day.
He quit it, even at a certain point.
So I'm like, I'm going to do your programming.
He's probably like, yeah, right.
And then at the end, I show him that I filmed the whole thing.
I showed him, hey, I actually did it.
I think that's when he started to take me seriously.
Then we filmed some videos with him.
Same guy on and off camera?
Oh, 100%, yeah.
Yeah, I always got that vibe that he was the same guy on and off camera.
There's like certain YouTubers you meet and you're just like, yeah, this is the same fucking guy.
Damn.
But yeah, no, I mean, I like them a lot.
Even though, like, obviously when you're not natty, you can train a certain way and do certain things.
I still liked him for inspiration and stuff, and I liked how candid and frank he was about shit.
One of the things I remember about him the most is that he used to always say, fuck supplements, eat real food.
And I was like, damn, this dude has a supplement line, and he's still telling y'all that eat real food.
One of my favorite things that he said that I would always think about is like, You're telling me you can't eat?
You can't even pick a fork up and put it inside your mouth?
What are you going to do if something actually gets hard in life?
And I would always think about that whenever I can't eat food.
What's easier than eating food?
That's true.
It really helps you put things in perspective and not be a bitch.
It's like, oh, you want to be big.
For me, as a skinny guy growing up, and you could probably speak to this too, because you were thin as well.
I was like, one of the hardest things was like, oh, you just gotta eat more.
And it's like, you gotta build yourself up to it.
And it's like, oh my god, I can't eat anymore.
But it's like, yo, stop being a bitch.
You just gotta do it.
Like, I mean, you should be happy.
You should be blessed.
You should be happy that you're even blessed to be able to even eat in excess.
To be fair, eating a Barbados, bro, I didn't gain any weight.
Coming to America, the food here has so many hormones, bro.
You just gain weight, bro.
Facts.
Just randomly.
You just get fat.
Yeah.
But, um, cool, man.
No, I mean, that's, you know, rest in peace to Rich Piano, man.
It was very...
Great inspiration.
Greg also recipes to him as well.
I was a huge fan back especially in 2013.
He actually died.
He died in Burbank.
Yeah.
On the train tracks.
So it's like, damn.
Any chats here that we got to do?
I saw the transformation, the epic transformation.
That bodybuilding competition, how was that, bro?
I'm trying to think if you ended up placing it or not.
Like the serious one?
The first one that you did, yeah.
You did like that epic cut.
No, I got second place.
That's fucking awesome, man.
Are you gonna compete again?
Fuck no, huh?
Fuck no.
I mean, if I'm dieting, I'm angry and hungry, I can't be funny for my prank videos.
Yeah, and it's like seven months after life.
Sacrifice, bro.
To diet properly?
They don't get paid a lot of money either.
Nah.
They don't get paid anything.
Nah, not shit.
For competing?
I honestly don't understand why a lot of people compete, to be completely honest with you.
Yeah.
The only potential I could see it worth is elevating your brand and getting a pro card.
That's about it.
But even the pro card is to elevate your brand, I guess.
Yeah, that's why.
And maybe some authority, but if you're not pursuing a pro card, there's really no need.
It's funny, a lot of these fitness people, they say, oh, you should only be on gear if you're competing in bodybuilding or powerlifting.
Why?
Like, why is that a more important goal than just looking good at the beach?
Like, I don't...
I don't...
Like, competing...
Like, standing in a thong in front of a couple men?
Like, I don't get it.
Yeah.
I think they're looking at it like, if you're gonna take that kind of risk, like, it better be from a professional standpoint.
I mean, I'm...
But it's not even professional.
Like, you don't get paid for that shit.
Yeah, unless you...
Well, unless you get a pro card.
Which, to get a pro card, you would need to take drugs.
Even if you get a pro card, you don't get paid.
You pay to have a pro card.
Yeah, you pay, yeah.
It's peanuts.
Yeah, it's nothing.
Like, from...
Because my trainer competed, he's like, bro, he got paid nothing.
It's just like, I came...
It's really for the image.
Yeah.
It's for just the bragging rights, honestly.
If you look at it that way.
Personally, I tell guys stay natty as long as you can.
Don't go down that road.
Shit, you told me.
Yeah, like stay natty, don't do it.
You know, obviously some people make different choices and everything and I'm not going to disagree with someone if they're like, oh, I want to go ahead and do it.
But the thing is, is that if you're going to do it, and I've said this a million times, you better train naturally for at least five to ten years and know how to do things optimally before you even go into that road so that you actually don't fuck yourself up and be under the care of a doctor if you're going to go that route.
But I tell guys, man, stay natty as long as you can.
I mean, what are your thoughts on that?
Um...
At this point, I would probably agree with you.
Yeah, most people have no business being on gear, but me, I always knew I'm going to be a big jack guy.
As soon as I found out, because honestly...
You know what you're getting yourself into.
Yeah, because as soon as I found out that to be the size I want to be is you need gear, I didn't even have a second thought.
I'm like, okay, where do I get the gear?
Fair enough.
I was 16.
Oh, wow!
Holy!
Alright, fuck it.
Alright, guys, so we're going to be back with some lovely ladies, man.
So, what?
945, 930?
Exactly.
We'll be back, guys, in about an hour.
We love y'all.
Catch you guys on the next episode of Fresh Fit after hours with some ladies.
He's Eric Konefsky.
We'll give you the last word, brother.
Yeah, check me out on YouTube, Eric Konefsky Official, if you haven't already.
And thank you guys again so much for having me.
No, of course, bro.
This is a W Street, man.
Yeah, absolutely.
Bro, it's funny shit.
One of the few pranksters that's still doing it for real, man.
So go check him out, guys.
Alright, peace.
Peace.
