Rest In Peace & Farewell To Coach Red Pill (Gonzalo Lira)
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Thank you.
And we are live.
What's up, guys?
Welcome to Fresh Hit Podcast, man.
Today we're going to be talking about the legacy of Gonzalo Lira, a.k.a.
Coach Red Pill.
Let's get into it.
Rest in power.
Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
We're dating now, we'll never talk to the siren.
Pushes in a...
All right, we're back.
All right, guys, what's up?
Welcome to Friendship Podcast, man.
We fixed the audio.
We should be good now.
Shout out to Bill.
Yeah, shout out to Bill.
He fixed it right away.
Yeah, so guys, we'll just, I guess, address the whole paywall thing real fast.
So, as you guys know, back in August, we got demonetized on YouTube, right, for a bunch of different reasons.
But regardless, that obviously sucked, right?
Like, I mean, getting demonetized on YouTube always sucks.
Most people just quit and just stop posting on there if they're demonetized or whatever.
But we kept going, right?
And, you know, obviously we got support from Rumble.
Shout out to Rumble locals and that whole team over there, which they're all under one umbrella.
And the first people that came to support us were the people over at Castle Club.
So what we wanted to do was we wanted to give the Castle Club guys something exclusive.
We wanted to give them...
Extra content, right?
Because we gave them, you know, we're giving them Frank Castles, behind the scenes stuff when we travel.
Yeah.
You know, what else?
Pre-streams before the show.
Fresh will sometimes vlog, get put exclusive vlogs when he's there.
Like, yeah, when he's out doing car shows and stuff like that.
The kickouts?
Yeah, the Frank Castle, yeah, the kickouts, all that stuff is there.
And then all of our old Patreon content's over there as well that talks about the dating stuff.
So we wanted to give our Castle Club members more.
So we're like, hey, what if we came up with the idea, what if we had a portion of after hours on Castle Club only, right?
And we didn't want to, like, obviously cut out too much.
We still gave you guys two and a half hours of free content, right, between YouTube and Rumble.
And then we're like, hey, let's try this out.
And obviously, you know, It was an experiment.
I guess it didn't work out.
You guys didn't like it.
We definitely saw.
But you guys got to understand where our mindset came.
And we take accountability.
We should have told y'all what our plan was.
Because the week prior, I went back and I looked and I was like, damn, we never told them that we were going to cut a portion of after hours and put it behind a paywall.
We should have told y'all that.
And that's on us.
Yeah.
But you guys are probably wondering, well, yo, Myron, Fresh, why'd y'all even think about doing that?
Well, the reason why, guys, is number one, we wanted to give our guys something exclusive, make them feel special, right?
Because obviously they're the ones that supported us when we got demonetized and we're at a low.
And also, guys, it's not cheap to run this podcast.
I think there's this idea out there that we're just making all this money and running around and buying Lambos and living this Miami lifestyle.
Guys, let me be very transparent with you guys.
It costs us anywhere between $70,000 to $100,000 a month to run this show.
Freshwood didn't want me to tell you all that before the show, but I want to be honest with you guys and let you guys know.
It's expensive to run this podcast at the level we run this podcast.
Which is why other podcasts can't do it.
Yeah.
Think about how many people have imitated us, guys, as far as trying to bring girls on or trying to do what we do, etc.
Why do they never last?
It's expensive to run, guys.
Between doing our daytime shows and then also having a team behind the scenes as far as getting girls, our clips, channels, our...
YouTube managers, everything like that.
Because keep in mind that we're still running everything as if we didn't get demonetized.
Right?
We didn't cut nothing.
We didn't cut nobody.
We didn't cut anything.
Actually, we added more as well.
We added more.
Actually, when we got demonetized, we added more.
And we got the new studio anyway.
So, it's not cheap to run this, guys.
And we want to run it at a high level.
I did a story the other day where we showed...
Like the studio and everything else like that.
Show y'all how, what's it called?
How expensive it was.
Or sorry, all the equipment and everything.
And yeah, man, it's just not cheap to run.
So just being honest with y'all, I mean, fucking, it's not cheap to run the show, man.
So that's kind of what it is.
I think what happened on last show was very telling.
And for most people, I get it.
You know, we didn't tell you guys what's happening.
We should have told y'all.
Randomly, you know, we cut the show off and then the locals.
Now, mind you, that's for people that are, you know, behind the scenes that support us.
They support us from the very beginning, and they do it today as well.
So, giving them extra content is what we want to do.
Now, granted, we said that this didn't work very well with other audiences, so that's fine.
We'll do most of you guys behind the scenes anyway.
Yeah, we're going to do other stuff.
So the bottom line is this.
We're not going to put any of the after hours or any of the regular shows behind a paywall.
Alright guys, we're not going to do that.
We're going to put some other stuff for Castle Club members, right?
Whether it's streaming stuff, to get more active with the IRL stuff.
You know, we had some new ideas and concepts that we wanted to do.
Hell, I mean, the IRL backpack setup that we got cost us about $20,000 alone because we added to it, right, to make it better.
Gaming streams as well.
So yeah, we're gonna add some stuff on there, but we won't put any of the regular shows behind a paywall, whether it's the daytime or the nighttime.
But I want you guys to kind of understand what went into that decision, being very transparent with you guys, you know?
Somebody in the chat said, Cap, bro, I mean...
I don't know.
If you guys think this shit is...
I'm lying about how much it costs to run this, then okay.
I'm lying about it being $70,000.
I mean, just do the math.
We got a full team.
We got people that work for us.
Chris has people under him that work for him to get the girls.
And then we also have a whole team of people behind the scenes with YouTube.
We have a YouTube manager.
We got a Facebook manager.
We got an Instagram guy.
We got a guy that clips our stuff.
So, obviously, you guys...
How do we get the timestamps up so quick?
We got people that do that for us.
So, like, guys, we have a bunch of people that...
That work for us that we support, man.
So yeah, it's not cheap to run.
And granted, we give a lot of free content for you guys all the time.
This is not anything different.
However, our supporters want to get the extra.
Now, mind you, we didn't do it the right way probably because obviously we didn't tell you guys.
Yeah, we could have won about it better.
But to be real, that's on us.
That's on us.
Guys, you got two and a half hours of content.
I mean, to be fair, that's a lot.
And as well, we didn't tell you, so that's another thing too.
But from now on, we're going to do it differently.
We'll get the shows as well, the same as they were before, but we'll add more for the members behind the scenes, other stuff we can do.
Yeah.
So that's fine.
Yeah, so that's the bottom line, man.
You guys don't got anything to worry about.
You know, we're going to keep everything, like I said before, as it was.
And we'll give our Castle Club members some other stuff as far as, like, some gaming streams, some IRL stuff.
We got the backpack now.
People are saying, El Castle Club, guys, when we were down and out, they supported us.
Yeah, that's crazy, bro.
So whenever you guys say El Castle Club, we got their back 100%.
And...
They are really close to us because, again, we were done out, we got demonetized, they had our back.
So you can say El Cousal Club all you want, but they had our back.
But if it wasn't for them, we might not be here.
Exactly.
So that's crazy to me that y'all are like, oh yeah, fuck Cousal Club, fuck a paywall, blah, blah, blah.
Guys, it's an election year.
Obviously, we were this close to being cancelled on YouTube, right?
And they had our back, man.
And guys, when you make content like this, that's just what happens.
You gotta target on your back when you make content like we do.
When you take risks like we do, and you bring certain guests on like we do, you talk about certain topics like we do...
This is kind of what goes with the territory.
We told you guys since we came on in 2020, 2021, like, yo, if they cancel us on YouTube, blah, blah, blah.
We always kind of knew that we would have a target on our backs.
I mean, hell, look at Gonzalo Lira, man.
Free speech, right?
Free speech, right?
He was saying a lot of things that we were saying.
And, you know, he ended up, you know, passing away tragically in prison.
They arrested him for it, bro.
Yeah.
Guys, having these takes being based has a cost a lot of the times.
And we've given up sponsors, other things that are selling out as well.
Yeah.
So us wanted to add to our members and maybe gain some more members.
It's not a bad thing, by the way.
At the end of the day, it's a business, guys.
At the end of the day, it is a business.
And I know we told you guys before, we don't do it strictly for the money, which is true.
Because if we did it strictly for the money, we'll put all of our stuff behind a paywall.
But we give y'all six shows a week absolutely free.
And to be fair, what podcast is giving you six shows a week for free?
I don't know any.
I don't know any of the podcasts doing this.
Granted, though, this is how we did it from the very beginning.
I just want to say this, man.
If you support us, thank you.
If you don't, it's cool.
But Castle Club members, they support us when we don't know.
Which is why today, we're taking your opinions on what we should do next.
Yeah.
So yeah, Castle Club, guys.
So we want to know, like, what do y'all want?
You know, if you guys could just, you know, send it in.
It could be a dollar, five bucks.
Whatever.
It doesn't matter.
What do y'all want to see, Castle Club, guys?
Yeah.
And, you know, whether it's more gaming streams, because we haven't, like, done it yet, like a full-on gaming stream yet.
We did a couple tests and everything.
That would have to go on Locals anyway.
We could do a full after hours for them as well.
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe one extra a month or something like that.
Because if we did it, we would do it extra.
We wouldn't do it on top of...
We wouldn't take anything away from what we normally do.
It would be something extra.
We'll figure it out, though.
But we'll get it for you guys.
But yeah, man, that's what it came down to, guys.
And I want to say one more thing as well.
Yeah, sure.
So someone said in the comments, Fresh shouldn't have a Lambo.
Guys, just so you know, right?
I do things outside of Fresh and Fit.
And I actually announced for New Year's Two of my businesses that I told you guys about.
They make quite good money, right?
And I put that towards having fun for myself, some stuff for my mom and family, and I love cars, right?
Also, it's a write-off for me where I do these things.
Now, granted, all you see is a Lambo.
Oh, fresh spending money on Lambos.
Guys, if I want to spend my money on these things, it's cool.
But what we make on the podcast goes towards the podcast.
And to me, this takes a lot.
A whole lot of money.
So, I get what you guys are saying about Lambo, but dude, that's hardware that I put into my business itself that I wanted to spend on myself.
So, regardless, that's on me, but the podcast money, that goes towards the show.
Just so you guys know.
Yeah, so that's kind of what it is, man, just being transparent with you guys as far as what went into that decision.
We could have went about it way better, take accountability for that.
True.
But yeah, man, at the end of the day, money isn't our primary thing, but we need to make the money to be able to run the show, right?
That's just what it is, unfortunately.
It's very expensive to run it at this level with all the moving parts that we do, guys.
And to be fair, if we walked away today, it'd be okay too, but we want to get the show running.
Because we love you guys, man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We do, man.
I mean, it means a lot.
I mean, I was out yesterday and a guy came up to me and said, hey, I didn't like you at first, man, but damn, you changed my life.
Like, if I had you when I was 22 versus finding you at 36...
I would have been able to avoid a lot of issues, and I was like, damn, put things in perspective.
We have guys making money as well for Money Mondays, investing in crypto, e-commerce, whatever they could find.
I mean, listen, guys, it shows a lot of love and value, but again, we love you guys, man.
So don't think we don't like you guys at all.
I mean, that's why we We give out so much free content.
It's amazing to me how we took 30 minutes of after hours and everyone flipped out, but it's like, well, we gave y'all Free Money Monday right before that.
We've been giving y'all free episodes before that.
We give you guys six shows a week for absolutely free.
A lot of it is stuff to help you become better, etc.
And I was like, damn, I didn't think they would get that pissed.
I could see why, though.
We didn't go about it the right way.
But there's a reason.
But then when I compare us to other pods...
None of them put out as much content for free.
All of them put their stuff behind the paywall.
And we've had other creators tell us, like, yo, y'all are crazy.
What are you doing?
You guys need to put more stuff behind the paywall.
We said, no, because that's not what it is.
We want to be able to give as much free content as possible.
But obviously getting demonetized, that sucks.
Fucks things up.
Came out of nowhere.
Obviously having the risk of cancellation at any point when you make this type of stuff.
Because we don't want to water down our shit, guys.
You know what I mean?
Even if it means bringing risky guests on and stuff.
And we try to do it in a way where we're able to mitigate risk.
But sometimes it just happens anyway, right?
So they're just going to talk shit.
Because it's funny.
The stuff that got us into trouble on YouTube wasn't even done on YouTube.
Crazy, right?
Yeah.
And we did the same exact thing that other platforms have done, but we got penalized for it.
I don't want to go into detail because I'm not trying to throw no one under the bus, but all I'm going to say is we did the same exact thing as other YouTubers, but we got strikes for it, and they didn't.
It's almost like whatever we do is bad.
Monitor, yeah.
Absolutely.
I wonder why, but hey, it's what it is.
They talk about certain topics, right?
No problem.
But we do it!
We do it!
It's a problem.
Ah, yeah.
Finally, plan for the future, and move smart.
That's pretty much what we've got to do at this point.
So there's definitely a different standard of enforcement when it comes to certain creators versus us, right?
So now we know.
We didn't know that before, right?
But yeah, guys, that's generally what it is, man.
So I can read some of the chats, I guess, and then we'll get into the topic at hand.
But I think that kind of explains it.
And again, some of you might still hate whatever.
It's fine.
But the supporters understand why we did what we did.
So that's what matters.
And if you hate us that much, like, yo, for the people that, like, hate us and trying to, like, why y'all watch then?
I don't get it.
Like, yo, if you guys really hate us that much, go watch the competitor pods then.
Like, I'll never understand how it's like, you know, people will sit there and be like, oh, fuck these guys for us to fit.
Like, we got a lot of hate watchers.
I've always thought it was strange.
Bro, I will never watch my ops.
If I don't like the show, I'm not watching it, bro.
Like, for what?
Like, I'm gonna spend my time and energy watching a show that I hate.
I comment, oh, I hate the show.
Yeah.
Oh, I don't like you, bro.
Like, for what?
I don't know.
Alright.
So...
Okay, we got Cal Elgos.
Wrestling power, coach.
CRP videos are always informative and straight to the point.
Delight when he was on your podcast multiple times and he saw through the beer bug.
Thank you, Myron and Fresh, for doing this episode.
Much love, Cal from Canada.
Absolutely, bro.
Dr.
Amar Johnson, he's trolling.
No, no, no.
Okay, Mochair Rebellion goes, locals just need work and it is nothing personal to rumble.
Even Patreon has a bland platform.
They need to make social media updates to the platform.
Please consider live streaming game content on there for now.
That would be appealing.
Yeah, I'll do that.
Especially since I'd be saying crazy shit when I game.
And I don't want that out there.
Please don't.
Yeah, got it.
Razor goes, respect the decision, understand that sometimes it just doesn't work out.
For Locals Castle Club, I recommend if time slash resource permit you to do a members-only show that's separate to the current lineup menu and a standalone product, that way they don't mix.
Yeah.
A very good idea.
Yeah, yeah.
That's what we're going to do.
Yeah.
That's what we're going to do.
Uh, Kando goes, uh, hey, fresh and modern, honest opinion and advice.
I'm currently in high school getting bullied and excluded and always getting jumped.
Honest opinion from all y'all experiences.
Where do you see, uh, these bullies in the future?
Do karma exist?
Advice.
Uh, well, here's the thing, bro.
I mean, if you're getting bullied like that, like you're getting jumped at school.
You need to take some action, bro.
You need to learn some self-defense.
Also, not just that, but if you're getting jumped at school, that's a problem, dude.
How's the school not stepping in?
That's their job to make sure that you have a safe environment to go to school.
You shouldn't be getting jumped by no goddamn kids, man.
I remember when When I was in school, I got jumped one time.
Yeah.
And I didn't know what to do, right?
I was like, fuck, I'm getting my money taken from school.
My lunch money was taken every single time.
And I went behind the school one day.
At the back of the school, I met this guy, which is like the big boss of the town.
And I told him what happened.
And you say, yo, I got your back from now on.
And from that day on, he defended me with the bullies.
So honestly speaking, bro, you might have to find a big bro in that case to help you with these issues.
Or, hey, tell them, bro.
I mean, at this point, bro, if you're getting bullied and you're getting beat up, I mean, that's fucked up, bro.
So tell them, I guess.
I don't know.
Okay.
We got here.
Nation goes, looking at my first property here in Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Three-bed, two-bath, 1,600 square feet for $285K. 4.6 interest rate, $6,000 towards closing from seller new construction.
Good deal.
My first time navigating these waters.
Thank y'all.
Everything.
It's a three-bedroom.
It's a single-family home, $285K. Fixed rate, $6,000.
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
Yeah, that's a good deal, bro.
Yeah, I would take that.
In Dallas-Fort Worth area, yeah, I would take that.
How's the rate so low?
That is interesting how he got the rate so low.
That's really low.
Maybe he got an arm.
Oh.
Or he bought points.
And it looks like he's going to move into it, so he'll get a better interest rate.
But to get a four, I don't know how the hell you got that so low.
Is that right, bro?
I would do it ASAP. Yeah.
So the stream of KT Hustles and people are saying cap and scam.
Funny to me that these kids want to remain broke.
He just wanted to tell the losers that.
LOL. Yeah.
I mean...
It's crazy, bro, because it's like we try to bring different guests on that have different things.
We brought Red Pill Floor on to talk about trades.
We brought KTS on to bring on Amazon.
Guys, I understand that you guys aren't going to like every single guest that we bring on, but we are trying to diversify.
We are trying to bring everything.
And here's the thing that kind of sucks when you're like us and you cover a broad range of topics.
You're going to always have people that complain, right?
On one hand, people are like, oh, y'all don't bring no new guests.
We brought an AB. Oh, why'd you bring AP? He's a loser.
And it's just like, you can't win, bro.
You really can't win.
Like, we bring out a different guest, right?
That's different.
Oh, why is he here?
Blah, blah, blah.
It's like, okay, y'all wanted celebrities, right?
That's a fucking celeb, a big one.
But that's what ends up happening, guys.
A lot of these big celebrities, guys, are not Red Pill aware.
They're not.
And y'all can see it right here at 1080p on the show, man.
So it's like...
Rick Ross isn't either.
Yeah, Rick Ross ain't either.
It's like, bro, what do you guys want, man?
So it's like, bro, guys, I've told you all this before.
People are going to have different mindsets on different things.
And this is what happens when you bring diversified guests on.
So it's like, I get it.
You guys might not like it or whatever, but I guess just don't watch those episodes.
But KT's solid, though.
Yeah, KT is solid.
I mean, we have a bunch of people.
We've been on three times, guys.
Three times.
Yeah.
If he was shady, we know by now.
Yeah.
So.
Mocha Rebellion.
Can you have a suggestion, box session?
One idea where Catholic members can get FNF-inspired discount merch, ex-protein, bottle, tumblr, similar to what Crowder does?
Oh, like our own merch for members only.
Oh, okay, yeah, yeah.
Because I think he has, like, the mug for Mug Club.
Oh, I got the plug.
From the candles.
Oh, okay, all right.
I can work it out, yeah.
Wayne says, R.I.P. Gonzalo, don't let him be forgotten.
No, we definitely...
We've been with us for a while, by the way.
Show us a win as well.
A minor fresh, is there a chance we at Castle Club can vote for one meme audio?
We've sent an audio so you can play it on stream.
Yeah, why not?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Leon goes, respect Evan F. You guys do a lot for us, so no one has room to complain with all the value you provide.
Also, Marlstone hasn't been able to answer the question about the virgin second wife.
All good.
Keep leading from the front.
Shout out to you, Leon.
What virgin second wife?
I think someone asked you about that.
I remember that question, yeah.
I think, was it a girl?
On Opt Hours?
I don't know.
They asked you, does your second wife have to be a virgin?
Like, your second wife.
Let's see, you have four wives.
I don't remember that.
Oh.
All right.
Stop apologizing.
We know it's Chris's fault.
All right, Jose Perez.
Yeah, everything is Chris's fault.
Yeah, it's all Chris's fault.
One of the first episodes of FNF I watched that got me hooked on the pod was the one old episode with Coach Red Pill.
RIP. Yeah.
Legendary, bro.
Yeah.
Unplug goes, you should stream the behind the scenes at the beginning of the show on Castle Club with Chris prepping the girls.
Start the stream early on Castle Club.
That makes more sense.
We do that right now, bro.
That's what we do right now.
We do it right now.
Every pre-show is on Castle Club for you guys.
Yeah, every pre-show.
And it's funny, by the way, because the girls talk some mad shit before the show.
It's pretty funny.
Yeah, y'all get to know who the girls are before.
Without any pressure either.
Cody, much love and respect, FNF. $20 ain't shit for the value they bring.
Most of y'all wouldn't hesitate and spend 5x that being a cent for a girl who's fucking with the entire squad.
That's true, bro.
Just saying.
That's true, man.
It's true.
Like I said, you know, Castle Club is $20 a month.
It's not that expensive.
But I get it.
Like I said before, guys, we try to give you all as much free stuff as we can.
Castle Club is for the people that really rock with us, right?
That really want to support because at the end of the day, like, we're demonetized.
And, you know, like, bro, we make content that isn't necessarily...
Save for the algorithm.
So people, like, you know, there's definitely, like, an incentive to get us deplatformed, right?
We've had petitions against us.
We got named in a Homeland Security document.
That is serious, by the way.
With Rolo and the Tate brothers.
Yeah.
Like, there is a targeted effort to take us down, bro.
There is.
We've had people lie on us and say a bunch of crazy accusations.
It is what it is, man.
Obviously, we have to do what we have to do to keep things running.
Our main thing isn't to just sit there and make a bunch of money off our audience, but we understand that we have to make money to run the show at a certain level the way that we do it.
The cameras, the quality, etc., the microphones, everything.
It's not cheap to run, man, to maintain it, to buy it, to have it.
So, that's just what it is, man.
It's not cheap, guys.
And that's why I told y'all how much it costs.
And some people were saying, oh, yeah, that's not true or whatever.
You try having a full staff and tell me how much that's going to cost you guys.
We got, like, what?
Like, maybe 20 people that work for us?
All together?
Almost 30 now.
Yeah.
How much?
The other people as well that we don't really see with Chris.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
So...
I mean, guys, it's, you know, people think it's easy.
And then, like I said before, the biggest indicator that what we do is hard is think about it.
Look at every single podcast that has tried to copy us, right?
And all you guys make jokes on there say value will FNF or, you know, best value, like the value, the Walmart version of FNF or whatever.
I have gotten so much value from this podcast.
Oh, shit.
Wow.
Jim.
Women, lifestyle, IGG, transparency from the FNF team.
Keep going, guys.
I'd like to ask for your mentorship regarding life, Myron.
Will you do it?
Happy to everyone.
Thank you so much, Captain Bama Lam.
Yeah, bro, just hit me on the side on Instagram.
Just hit me on the side on it.
Just type in Bama Lam.
Surest receipt.
Yeah, just type in Bama Lam on Instagram in all caps and shoot it to me now.
And I'll DM you back.
I'll message you back.
Shout out to you, bro.
Yeah, shout out to you, my friend.
And thank you so much for that support.
That means a lot, bro.
That means a lot.
Hey, man.
We kind of make it look easy, but you guys don't realize how hard it is until you see other podcasts try to replicate what we do and you see them do it at a mediocre level.
They're like, oh, damn.
I kind of miss F&F. And then that's when...
That discrepancy in quality that you guys see between the two, that's that fucking $70,000 to $100,000 that you guys see us investing.
Because there's little things that you guys don't even see that we're doing behind the scenes to make the show run as smooth as possible and as good as possible that's very expensive.
And the time too, bro.
Yeah.
Because we commit our lives to this because we're here.
We don't miss shows.
Everything that we do revolves around the show, guys.
Like, we don't take time off.
I mean, if you see me at Fresh Travel, where are we going to?
If you want to do buying shit, what did we do?
We went there to go film.
Like, we went there to go do a podcast.
And if you go home, it's for real estate.
Yeah.
If I go home, real estate as well.
Yeah.
Our business.
It's like, for a reason.
For the show.
Since I've done the show, I've only went home once, and that was for my brother's graduation in May.
Since 2020, guys, I've only went home once.
Damn.
It's back to Connecticut.
You know, because I really dislike being away from Miami and not filming.
Like, I really dislike it.
Like, we literally live and breathe this show.
I mean, my real estate deals, I'm transparent with you guys about that.
I show you guys my real estate deals.
I show you guys what I do, etc.
Which, you know, obviously that money that I take from the real estate, I'm not pocketing that either.
I take that and invest it back into the studio too.
That IRL backpack, my real estate paid for that.
You know?
So, yeah, man, like, to me, I look at it like, if we're not putting everything into the pod, right, then we're not, what the fuck are we doing?
Right?
So it's like, I want to continue to show you guys that, like, your support, right, obviously is amounting to something to give you guys a better viewer experience.
I remember when we first started the podcast, right?
Black Panther.
He came on the show, supported us.
He paid for most cameras in here, well, back in the day.
And that motivated us to do even more.
And because of him...
Sorry, Black Lemur.
And, you know, over time, people supported it, like Wayne as well.
So, I mean, it does help us do different things, guys.
So, I mean, if you don't want to support, you don't have to.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and Red Pill Mike, you know, recipes to him.
Yeah, Red Pill Mike.
So, you know, it's just not cheap to run, man.
I mean, I remember when we first started with, like, just some bullshit Sony A6400s and some Shure SM7Bs and a Rodecaster.
It was more fun.
To get all that going cost me about $40K with the panels and the computers and all that other shit.
But now at this level, I mean, I did an Instagram video, guys, literally like a story, like two days ago.
I genuinely believe we have the best podcast studio in the fucking world.
No one even comes close.
But that wasn't cheap to do, man.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
So, anyway.
What was I going to say?
So, let's get into...
Let's pull up...
Oh, Castle Club.
Okay.
I pray you guys never go away, FNF fam.
You guys mean so much to us.
Few true supporters than the thousands of lame haters.
You guys have been my friends since February 2020.
I hope to be till the war is won.
And as a fellow employer, I understand business and how instrumental support means to survive.
And that's why FNF will always have my support.
I appreciate that.
Thank you for having me on.
All the way from Australia.
All the way.
We remember you, my friend.
As well.
Like, yeah, man.
Anyone that runs a business gets it, bro.
And ask anyone else that's like, maybe a creator has any type of production studio.
They'll tell you, bro.
Fucking J.Flo came in here and he counted it up.
He was like, what the fuck?
How much did this cost?
Yo, he knew right away this cost you guys at least $200,000.
Do you remember Tim Cass when he came in here?
Oh, yeah.
He was shocked, too.
Him, who else?
Other creators.
I wish we could record some of their expressions for y'all.
When they walk in here.
How much does this cost?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What the fuck?
AB was like, what the fuck, too, when he walked in.
He was like, oh, shit.
So we take the production and the quality and the professionalism seriously, guys.
To be honest, what do the other creators do?
Even the girls that come on the show, they'll be pissed as hell.
They'll be like, but y'all got a really professional setup.
Girls greeted us downstairs.
They gave us drinks.
They took care of us.
I want to do a podcast, too.
I'm like, this is expensive, man.
Yeah, man.
There's just so many things that go into it, man.
What else?
Recipe's Coach Red Pill.
Yo, Myron, if you ever get called out to box, please don't do it on kick.
That tries to pump people for his viewership.
Oh, my God.
All right.
WFNF for life, best podcast on the internet, and Myron never grifter, always stays RP and didn't switch to trad political like others cough cough.
Pods like pocket puss can imitate but not replicate.
Yeah, I mean, like I said before, guys, it's a business and we have to obviously operate at somewhat of a profit margin to be able to keep the shit going.
What else do we got?
These YouTube and Rumble watchers shouldn't complain.
They're getting free entertainment and too stingy to pay $20 for Castle Club.
SMH Red Pill Brokies can't even afford $20.
If you don't support and appreciate FNF, go watch Pocket Pussy Copycats.
Oh, shit.
Castle Club chat should be prioritized and shown at the end.
Also, the locals doesn't have a TV app, so it makes it harder if the last portion was on Castle Club.
Okay.
That's a good point.
All right.
Overwatch with Castle Club members.
Yeah, we will do that.
We got you guys.
L to the ones complaining.
Y'all acting like a bunch of entitled brokies.
Sack up and act like men.
Leave the complaining to kids and females.
FNF provides so much value to help you rise.
The ones bitching are the sales who don't take action.
Thank you, Myron Fresh and the whole crew.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, bro.
You guys did say you were going to do it.
It's just the annoying Reddit folks who won't stop complaining.
But hey, who cares?
They claim they don't even watch the After Hours anyway.
That's facts.
Yo, see, this is people I want to listen to because they actually care.
They support us.
That's kind of funny.
Them niggas do be saying they don't watch us, but they watch us.
That's kind of true.
Because how the hell are they going to know what's going on if they don't watch?
I'll even watch some niggas.
I'll just come in here and see what's going on.
Okay.
You guys did say you were going to...
Okay, so shout out to Castle Club.
You kept the show running.
Viewers who used what they learned from the pod are certainly not complaining.
I appreciate that, bro.
Jacob gets it, bro.
He gets it.
Shut up, Jacob, man.
These YouTube and Rumble watchers shouldn't complain.
Oh, we read that one.
That's Lasso the Bender.
WMF for Life, best podcast on the internet.
And Myron's...
No, no, we did this one, too.
Read that one?
Okay.
Direct Myron.
Yeah, they send it more than once.
Okay.
Yo, so just an idea.
What if once a month or every other one, you bring in a locals or cast club member, but only if he got the yearly one, not just the five bucks?
That'd be cool.
Besides, these chicks aren't really providing anything but entertainment.
And here, actually, support.
And some of us here are somewhat accomplished, like at least working up to it.
Love y'all niggas.
That's an option.
Yeah, we could do something like that.
Well, we're thinking about doing a mastermind for y'all.
We could give Castle Club like a huge discount.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
WFNF, I don't give a fuck.
Y'all saved my life.
Niggas complain and need to realize the value of y'all being regardless.
Myron, you know we all want to see live stream rage on the game.
Yeah.
All right.
Y'all will get at that then.
Castle Club only.
Yeah, so we will do Overwatch on Castle Club.
It's official.
We will do that.
And you guys will be able to see me unhinged.
Because I'd be going crazy on here.
I really hate losing.
I'm a bad sport.
Really bad sport.
Whether it's basketball.
This podcast, whatever it is, I'm a very bad sport.
I've always been a bad sport.
It's actually one of my weaknesses.
But hey, you guys get to go ahead and get entertained by it.
Only the Brookies were pressed about the show going on locals.
Y'all focus on working so $20 don't make you rage so much that you gotta type out paragraphs in the chat.
Also, fresh F that Ambo.
Buy me more treats.
Okay?
Oh, that's Fresh's dog.
Ah, Fresh's dog.
Set up monthly dates and times for some online game old castle club supporters.
Okay?
Actually, good idea.
We could bring some people on to play with us on Overwatch.
Okay.
And if you're good, Stay on if you suck.
But if you're trash, nigga, I'm going to tell you you're trash.
Kick you out, bro.
FreshBot is a sorry-ass friend on a play with us yesterday.
I was like, yo, this nigga suck, man.
He wasn't that bad.
That nigga suck, bro.
He was bad, but yeah.
He tried, he tried, he tried.
I can screen.
If he was using Roadhog, he would hook them and not kill them.
I was like, what the fuck?
It should be a one-shot kill, you scrub.
And I can screen you guys in Discord, too.
Yeah.
I'm in the Discord all the time playing Overwatch with these guys, so I can screen you guys in there, if you guys good or not.
FNF idea.
Someone from CEO Network that is doing numbers will get their own Money Monday episode maybe in After Hours?
Actually, I do have somebody.
Okay.
That's very good, actually, what they do.
All right.
Yeah.
All right.
I believe that.
Ken Rose.
RIP Gazalera slash Coach Red Pill.
Absolutely.
DG Build.
Okay.
W Castle.
W? Castle Club.
Castle Club.
Castle Club.
Castro goes, I had never donated to a streamer before when y'all got demonetized.
I've been rumble ranting when I can to the audience.
Understand as brothers, we need FNF to keep going if y'all can support it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And here's the thing.
We've never forced y'all to pay a dollar.
We've always told you guys we're going to keep a majority of the stuff free, right?
Obviously, we have to put some stuff behind a paywall to make money because we have to make money to run the pod.
Now that you guys know how much a month it costs us between everything because there's expenses that go into this that people don't even account for.
I mean, at this level of content regarding camera equipment, the staff, everything, even Crowder, bro, it takes a lot of money to run it.
Oh, yeah.
When I went over there and saw his production, he's spending 100K plus.
Easily.
Because they got a full-on big studio.
It's like an office in there.
It's like an office slash studio.
Full team, full staff.
It's a lot, man.
What else?
Anything else?
Peculiar Nomad says, These bitches need to shut the fuck up.
You guys did tell us.
What the fuck are these bums going on about?
Good recovery, though.
Keep it up, Collins.
During late night.
No, but we didn't tell them that we were going to put After Hours behind the pit wall.
We said we were going to put some exclusive content, but I don't think we said we were going to put a portion of After Hours behind the pit wall.
Yeah, we didn't say what it was going to be.
We didn't say what it was going to be.
And that's why we take accountability for that.
You know what I mean?
I talked to Fresh and we were like, wait, did we tell them that we were going to do it?
No, we didn't.
We just kind of abruptly did it.
So we were like, ah, fuck.
Okay.
We can see why the backlash.
Which, you know, we get it.
I wanted to tell you guys where our mindset was and what we do, what's going on behind the scenes so you guys understand.
And also...
It's not like we're like, oh, fuck these niggas.
We're just going to do it and say, screw y'all.
We just literally didn't think about telling y'all.
To be fair, if we were going to do this from before, we would have done it two years ago.
A long time ago.
Because before, we didn't really care.
We still don't care now, but we're trying different things to make everything work out for our supporters.
Yeah, man, it was about showing support to our castle club guys, man, that have been there for when we got fucking demonetized and shit, bro.
Like, trust me, guys, most YouTubers, when they get demonetized, they just stop making content altogether.
There's very few YouTubers that are demonetized that keep going.
Like Crowder, he's demonetized just like us, but they go castle club.
I'm sorry, mug club.
And everything is behind their paywall.
A lot of their content is behind the paywall.
That's why.
You know what I mean?
So, it's like, when you make content like this, you have to have stuff on paywall, unfortunately.
I understand why creators do what they do now because, bro, if you can't pay the bills to actually make things run, you're gonna stop.
You have to.
You have to, bro.
Yeah.
And the thing is, bro, I don't want to cut nobody.
I don't want to cut nobody.
I don't want to make cutbacks or anything because when I do that, that's going to hurt.
Number one, I want to keep my people happy.
That's fucking important.
I want to keep morale high.
I want to keep people happy because when you don't take care of your people, they start getting angry.
They start getting resentful.
They don't want to work hard.
So I want to keep my people happy.
So that's why we haven't cut nobody.
As a business, by the way.
Yeah, right?
And if that means me and Fresh got to take a pickup, we've done that several times, especially on this month.
You know what I mean?
We've definitely taken pay cuts on our end to make sure that everything goes smoothly.
Which is why you have your real estate, my businesses, we have our other stuff too as well.
So it helps out.
Yeah, so that's what it is, man.
It's really to keep everything running at a high level because I don't want to get rid of anybody because everyone has a very important role on the team.
So, yeah.
What else we got here?
We got here, so boosted.
For the haters saying El Castle Club.
I know what that word is.
Also, besides the wacky setups and stuff, the hosts are ass and making valid arguments and maintain points, views, fluent, FNF, unmatched.
Oh yeah, you're talking about competitors.
I got you fresh.
Would you bring Stu Peters on the pod?
I don't know who that is.
Who's that?
Mario PL. Kama Jafar goes, I joined Castle Club and subscribed to Rumble when y'all got demonetized.
The conversation I got from you over two years ago changed my life fresh.
You taught me to ignore the haters.
Shout out to you, bro.
Good job, bro.
The Cameroon goon goes for the young buck getting jumped at the school.
Fight back even before getting into self-defense.
I've been through that.
Punched one of the kids before getting beat up.
Again, learned Taekwondo.
Yeah, definitely get some self-defense and figure out what's going on, man, especially with the school.
Ended up starching my opps cold with mix to the head.
Oh, shit.
Well, nigga, we don't want him to go to jail.
Yeah.
We're with you regardless of the changes.
You have a serious army of supporters who rock with you.
We understand the circumstances with the censorship.
Let's keep going strong.
WBigMo, WFNF. Yeah, man.
We're trying to keep as much of it free, guys, for y'all, man.
We really are.
You know, it's 30 minutes that we put behind.
30 minutes!
Yeah.
Yeah.
Kix, even though I didn't agree with the Castle Club thing, I still support it even more with your accountability and explanation.
Yeah, I appreciate that, dude.
And we owe y'all that explanation, because y'all had no clue that we were going to do that and why we did it, so we get it.
But today's topic...
Yeah, today's topic, we're going to talk about Coach Red Pill, guys.
Let's pull up his wiki real fast.
For some of you guys that might not know who he is.
I think people forget that Coach Red Pill was around for a while.
Oh yeah, he's one of the OGs.
So much value, man.
One of the OGs, man.
I found him like in 2015.
Speaking of the father to us as well, which is huge because most of us don't have dads in our lives.
And he broke down the RP, men, women, dating, life itself.
And to me, he's a legend because he gave us so much value.
For so little.
Yeah.
And, you know, he believed in what he said all the way to the very end.
And that's why he was in jail.
Yeah.
Because he believed in what he said.
Yeah.
So, we got to give...
Do we have the wiki up?
We have it up.
Pull it up.
Yeah, pull it up real quick.
All right.
So, Gonzalo Lear, guys.
This is him, guys.
Now that you guys have a face to the name here.
Gonzalo...
Angel Cantillo Lira Lopez, February 29, 1968 to January 12, 2024, was a Chilean-American novelist, film director, commentator, YouTuber, and life coach blogger.
He was involved in the Manosphere under the moniker Coach Red Pill, posting anti-feminist content as a resident of Kharkiv, Ukraine.
He vlogged about the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and was described...
As spreading Russian disinformation and propaganda.
Not really, because everything that he said came fucking true.
It happened, by the way.
In April 2022, Lyra briefly disappeared and claimed to have been detained by the Security Service of Ukraine, SBU. On May 1st, 2023, Lyra was arrested and charged with creating and distributing material that justified the Russian invasion, which is illegal under Ukrainian law.
After his 2023 arrest, Lyra was released on bail and attempted to flee the country.
He was subsequently arrested again, dying in custody on January 12th, 2024.
Let's pull up his Twitter real quick and also his YouTube channel.
I think it's Gonzalo Lira again.
And we'll show you guys his last video that he made.
This is his original channel guys.
305k subscribers.
And then he had another channel called Gonzalo Lira.
Yes.
Can we go to that one?
And then another one, I think Ground Table and then Nazar Lira again was one of the channels.
And I'll show you guys the last video he made.
And it was right before he crossed the border into Hungary.
And also Tucker Carlson.
Shout out to Tucker Carlson for putting this out because how I found out was...
Twitter.
For me.
You found out on Twitter?
So someone actually DM'd me saying, hey, Gonzalo Leropasso.
I said, no fuck.
Oh, he's like, yeah, Tony Carlson just put out a tweet.
And I looked at it, and I watched the video, and I was like, holy fuck.
So I guess I'll give you guys a little bit of a background as to how I found him.
I found Gonzalo Lira back in 2015 when I was an agent.
Kind of like when I started getting into looking at Red Pill content.
Him and Sandman I found around the same time.
And the one thing I always respected and admired about Gonzalo was he's a very good speaker.
Obviously the guy's an Ivy League graduate, right?
He went to Dartmouth, a very good school out in Vermont if I'm not mistaken.
And, you know, very sharp, super-based, right?
He's based on a bunch of different topics, not just, you know, obviously the lies of feminism and stuff that we talk about with intersexual dynamics, but also about geopolitics as well.
And, you know, I was a Patreon subscriber as well, and I'm going to keep that subscription, you know, obviously to show support and respect.
Hopefully that money goes to his...
I know he has a wife and children.
Yeah, wife and kids, yeah.
And he was always very transparent about his past.
He talked about how he lived in New York City for a while.
He was in the film industry.
He talks about his mistakes that he had doing recreational drugs when he was younger.
I really respected that transparency, and I think transparency is something that's difficult to get from creators nowadays.
I think that's why we really pride ourselves on being transparent, which you guys kind of learned that from him.
You more than me.
Being transparent, yeah.
Because when you're transparent about things, people don't have to like it, but they can at least respect it, right?
They can at least kind of put themselves in your shoes and be like, okay...
Now it makes sense, right?
Because, you know, people don't know how much it costs to run this thing.
So I'm like, alright, well, this is what it is.
This is the truth, right?
And I always respected and admired that about him when he would tell stories.
And he was like the uncle that would give a lot of wisdom, right?
Because he was older, right?
He was born in the 60s, as you guys can see.
But he had a lot of life experience.
So when I was watching his content, I was like...
I was like, damn.
And he explained things in a very direct, concise manner, but he was very articulate in the way that he spoke, right?
Yeah.
And obviously he's going to have his detractors.
People are always going to hate.
Anytime you make content like this that is realistic about how the world works when it comes to females or, you know, how...
You get haters.
You know, the whole global warming crap.
And then he was always anti-vax, anti-masks and everything else like that.
So...
Yeah, very based individual.
And then when the war came out, at the time he was living in Ukraine, he was the only person that was in Ukraine Reporting on the conflict.
He was the only person.
So when he transitioned into covering the war, I was watching him exclusively for updates.
That's why I was like, yo, we need to bring this fucking guy on.
Because there's other political commentators that talked about the war.
You got Scott Ritter.
But they're not there.
There's two other guys that are really good are Scott Ritter and Jackson Hinkle, who we brought them both on the show as well.
But the only person that was actually there was him.
And he was writing a book on it too, and it's sad that it's not going to be released, but he was writing memoirs about what it was like living in Ukraine at the time during the war.
But he was telling the truth.
He was like, yo, they're not going to win this war.
They're losing a lot of men.
Zelensky's a criminal.
He's a scumbag.
He's stolen a bunch of money.
Ukraine is one of the poorest countries in Europe because of him stealing money.
And it's all true!
It was all found to be true!
And he said it back when they first invaded that they can't win this war against Russia.
And he said it.
Yo, Putin's goal here was to...
It was to basically get rid of NATO influence in Ukraine.
That was the main goal.
It's no different than if China decided to invade Mexico and have missiles pointing at Washington DC. We'd be in Mexico tomorrow if that should happen.
The Cuban Missile Crisis with John F. Kennedy.
When we had a conflict with Cuba and Russia, we don't want missiles next to us either.
So that's exactly what Putin did.
In his thing, he's like, all right, I got to protect Russian national security.
And Ukraine is right next door.
And he used to be a former member of the Soviet Union.
So Ukrainians and Russians are very close ethnically.
Hell, there's a bunch of Ukrainians that are Russian, especially in the Donbass and Crimea area.
And I learned all this from watching Coach Red Pill or Gonzalo Lira.
People criticize him and say that he's a Russian propagandist and he's a liar, blah blah blah, but guess what?
Everything he said is true.
Even MSNBC, one of the wokest news medias, admitted, yeah, Russia's pretty much won this war.
Why?
NATO doesn't have any more influence in Ukraine like it did.
Russia claimed eastern Ukraine.
I think they've conquered about 20% of the country, which is a fucking W, by the way.
And they accomplished what they wanted to accomplish.
Putin's goal was never to sit there and just take over Ukraine and kill everybody.
No.
He wanted to, number one, take it intact, and then number two, get NATO the fuck out of there.
And we're getting so much money.
I could've went to other things in America.
$150 billion.
Wow.
For them to lose the war.
Coach Red Pill.
One of the, I would say, top people for RP content.
One of the fathers, I would say, of the RP. And he gave us something that most people didn't give us.
A father figure that most people didn't have.
At least for me.
I found him a couple years ago when I go through my fiasco, you know, being married to a single mom.
I looked up, you know, dating a single mom on YouTube, what I could do.
And I found his videos on with SoloTV84.
Shout out to him as well.
And it really opened my eyes to what's possible and what's actually happening to me.
So those videos changed my life, actually, because back then I was struggling to figure out what to do.
But Coach Red Pill, man, rest in power to him.
He gave us a lot of valuable content as well.
And he never gave up on what he meant.
He meant what he said.
And down to the last breath, he was defending his points of views for free speech.
But...
The thing about Coach Red Pillman, he always gave his best.
And even though people didn't like him, he still carried on.
So no matter what happened to him, but haters or whatever, he still carried on.
So Coach Red Pillman, props to him, bro.
He did us a lot of good stuff.
Especially, for example, the videos he did on being a man, you know, brotherhood.
That helped me a lot.
So shout out to him.
Let's pull up real quick his Twitter.
Got you one second.
He had a bunch of pretty bass tweets as well.
So if you scroll down real quick, right?
It says, for the truth about Zelensky regime, Google these names.
All these names, by the way, are people that went missing that tried to run against Zelensky.
And they claim themselves to be a democracy, which is a lie.
Once again, if you haven't heard from me in 12 hours or more, put my name on this list.
And I fucking hate the fact that he's now put on that list.
But you best believe the Ukrainian government knew about him because he had such an influence, and he was put on their kill list.
Along with Jackson Hinkle's on their kill list, too.
Ukraine has a kill list, guys, by the way.
And Gonzalo Lear was on it.
And the thing I want to say, too...
Scroll down.
So on July 31st, he goes, right now I'm about to try to get out of Ukraine and seek political asylum in Hungary.
Either I'll cross the border and make it safe or I'll be disappeared by the Kiev regime.
This is what happened to me over the past three months.
And he talks about what happened to him, if we can show the replies.
I think it was a tweet.
It should be like a thread if you can go back.
He talks about what happened to him.
It says, and the U.S. State Department would return me too, but I'm not a black lesbian drug dealer.
Oh yeah, because obviously he's talking about Brittany Griner.
Because they did all that work to get Brittany Griner back, but they didn't want to bring him back.
Who's, by the way, a fucking American citizen.
So yeah, this is a thread, right?
Scroll up to the top, Bills.
Okay, so it goes here.
On May 1st, I was arrested for my YouTube videos.
The photos of my arrest are pretty funny.
Morning bedhead made me look like a character out of Dr. Seuss.
My crime was making videos critical of the West and their proxy regime in Kiev and how they are destroying Ukraine.
Facts!
How many Ukrainian men have died in this war, needlessly?
Attached to these tweets is the full indictment against me, both the original Ukrainian and English translation.
As you can see, the prosecutor admits I committed no crime against property or any person, and I certainly provided no aid or intelligence to the Russians.
Because a lot of people were trying to say that he was a double agent for Russia.
But he wasn't.
My indictment explicitly states that all I did was discuss publicly known facts about the war, the epitome of free speech and a democracy.
But Zelensky's Ukraine is no democracy.
It is a thieving, corrupt, murderous, gangster regime pretending to be polite Western democracy.
Yeah, that's true.
I wish he wasn't in Ukraine, though, in a way, because then he would have probably been fine.
But him being there...
Oh, man.
Can you imagine the world being like this, bro?
Like, other countries don't have free speech at all, but we do.
But at some point, it might end for us, too.
You never know.
It's crazy.
And then we keep going?
Once arrested, I was given documentation, assuring me that I was guaranteed the right to contact my lawyers and loved ones, as well as post bail.
In fact, I was blocked from calling anyone, even my lawyers, and I was not permitted to post bail, though I had the cash to do so.
Wow.
In other words, the formalities were carried out scrupulously, while judicial and ethical grotesque were ruled.
That's Zelensky's Ukraine.
That's what his thuggish regime cares about, the perception of democracy and the rule of law, so as to mask the assorted corrupt reality.
Wow.
All right.
And then, okay, scroll down a bit.
Scroll down a bit some more.
Okay, once inside CISO Prison, I was tortured in two of the four cells I was in by the other prisoners.
Guards never beat prisoners.
They outsourced torture to the other prisoners.
One prisoner actually apologized to me, telling me he had no choice.
He wasn't lying.
I understood.
Wow.
So, yeah, and this is something that people don't know.
I knew this because I followed him on Twitter.
But yeah, guys, they literally were torturing him in jail while he was there.
Only him.
Only him.
Because of his political views.
I got a cracked rib in my first cell, but it wasn't too bad.
This worst stretch was in my fourth cell.
From 1 p.m.
on June 21st until 7 p.m.
the next day, 30 hours, I was beaten and sleep deprived.
My arms twisted the wrong way, around at the shoulders, and generally beaten pretty bad.
I've taken a beating in my time.
So sure, it still hurt like hell, but it was manageable.
But then at one point, two thugs held my head and used a toothpick to scratch the whites of my left eye while asking me if I could still read if I had just one.
Not gonna lie, that was unnerving.
Wow, that was graphic.
Damn.
Near the end of the session, one of the thugs struck me in the chest so hard and so repetitively that the beating left a yellow and green splotch dead center on my sternum.
He was berated by the cell boss because he left a mark on me which was a no-no.
I'm sorry guys, it's very difficult for me to read this, I'm sorry.
Then, as luck would have it, two days later, when the bruising was in full bloom, a senior guard came to give me a wellness check.
This was likely because of the Chilean embassy efforts.
The U.S. embassy called me three times, but gave me nothing but support empty brahmats.
Wow.
The guard told me to remove my shirt so he could look me over.
The bruising was really spectacular, but he just nodded and pretended he didn't say anything.
Perceptions, he checked me, right?
Why was it getting to the point of torture?
Well, it wasn't over my YouTube videos, for sure.
I was in prison because of my videos, no doubt.
The videos are why the SBU arrested me and put me in Sizzle prison without bail.
But as they investigated me and examined my computers and accounts, all of which were confiscated and opened, the SBU realized that I'm not poor.
Damn.
Yep.
So once they imprisoned me for my videos, the SBU took the opportunity to extort money from me using the guards' accomplices, who in turn used prisoners as the muscle.
How I discovered this too, complicated for a Twitter thread, but I'm writing a book about it.
Wow.
So the book is not finished then, basically.
Yeah, he was writing a book about his experience in Ukraine.
Hopefully his family could find it and kind of put it out there.
Yeah.
Hopefully.
As told, sorry, all told, they extorted USD 70K out of me.
70K? Yeah.
And splitting among themselves.
They also took another 9K with the rest of me, my emergency cash, and another 11 grand, which was the bail money.
Wow.
With the computers, iPhone, etc.
I want even 100k on this adventure.
Yeah, guys, he had made some money before.
He had real estate.
He had some money.
Patreon as well.
A successful Patreon.
Which is why, if you support a creator, you support them behind the scenes for the Patreon.
Yeah.
That's good.
So, yeah, he was doing well financially, and they found that out, unfortunately, and they stole the money from him, which I'm not surprised, guys.
In these poor countries, man, this is what the police do.
I mean, hell, when you were in Colombia, they pulled you over, and you basically had to give them money, right?
No.
Bro.
This is what happens in poor countries, guys.
I know in America that's weird, but guys, in countries like Ukraine, you know, hell, I don't want to say the other country I was going to mention.
Yeah.
One of our friends lives there.
But yeah, Colombia, Brazil, all these places, like, bro, when they stop you, they're going to go ahead and they're going to want money.
Luckily, the girl was like, yeah, just so you know, guys, just give them some money.
Because, you know, that's the way it is.
Guys, let's not ban anyone on the chats or whatever.
If they want to say L or whatever, just let them.
It's fine.
Let's not censor the chats.
YouTube and Rumble mods.
Let them say whatever they want to say.
But anyway, going back to the topic at hand.
I wanted y'all to see this because obviously this is in his own words.
And we got an American citizen being beaten and tortured for political views by other prisoners.
And make no mistake about it, guys, the Biden administration knew he was there locked up.
The guy has a huge following.
He has a huge audience.
His videos were getting hundreds of thousands of views that he was making covering this topic.
And the thing that's scary is that he predicted all of this.
He literally said, add me to this list if you don't hear from me in 12 hours.
When he made his last video...
Can you type in Gonzalo Lira's last video on YouTube real quick for me, guys?
He was right at the border.
He was about across the border into Hungary.
And he said, there's two things that's going to happen.
I'm either A... Going to cross and be able to claim political asylum in Hungary?
I'm gonna die in a Ukrainian prison.
And, you know, unfortunately the latter occurred.
And, uh...
Yeah.
I mean, it was just fucking terrible.
And, I mean, the fact that the US government didn't take a stronger step to get this man out or help him, give him some type of aid, at least put him in some kind of protective custody, etc.
Especially since on his first stint he was assaulted, is ridiculous.
We can go ahead and trade...
Brittany Griner for Victor fucking Boot, right?
If you guys don't know who that is, that's a merchant of death.
He went to prison.
I covered it on FedReacts.
War criminal.
He's a war criminal.
He sold literally millions upon millions of dollars of guns to countries in Africa and pretty much participated in almost every African genocide where there were weapons.
He armed a bunch of different African militias.
This is him right here.
This was his last message to the public before he left, right?
But we traded Brittany Griner for him.
And you're telling me that we couldn't do something for Gonzalo?
Just because he was critical of the American administration, of the Biden and Kamala Harris administration?
We frustrated their war, and they killed an American in jail.
Imagine that.
America's funding your war for you to win, so to speak.
As a citizen of America, in your city, what do you do?
Put him in jail, beat him to a pulp, and then kill him?
Yeah, the Secretary of State knew what was going on here.
There's no way that the State Department didn't know what the fuck was going on, and they just didn't make an effort because Gonzalo was highly critical of both Kamala Harris and of Biden and of Zelensky.
And obviously, we know those three are very tight together.
We've been giving them money or whatever, so they didn't feel the need to fucking help him.
I would encourage everyone, keep your political views to yourself.
Because you never know who's watching or what box you actually end up in because your political views can push people towards either against you or towards you.
So I think it's a bad thing to put out there on some level.
It could be.
His biggest thing was he did it while he was in Ukraine.
It depends on where you live, though.
Yeah.
That's what kind of sucks is that he...
He was in Ukraine.
He was in Ukraine, and obviously they claim that they're a democracy, but they're fucking not, bro.
I mean, the guys...
Scott Ritter, I really think you guys should watch it.
He did a fantastic...
Documentary and research as to how Zelensky has been extorting money from his country for years.
One of them includes where he took millions upon millions of dollars to build a road system in Ukraine that he never actually built.
The Zelensky regime is extremely corrupt, guys.
Extremely corrupt.
And he's always here in America begging for more money.
And it's like, dude, you guys can't win the war.
You guys have lost, I think, they said somewhere around 500,000 Ukrainian men have died in this war.
That's fucking crazy to me.
And they took all that money.
But what did he do with it?
Bought a house in Miami?
Bigger question.
Yeah.
He has villas everywhere, by the way.
He has big-ass houses in a bunch of different places in the world.
And he just recently became a U.S. citizen.
Zelensky.
I'll say this, though.
Even here in America, you guys can have your opinion about politics, you know, behind-the-scenes stuff.
But understand, there's a score going on behind the scenes.
A social score.
And you end up in certain places because of what you believe in.
And Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, they'll have data being kept about you, whatever you post, whatever you put up in your personal pages.
So that data is being stored and it's being recorded about you.
So keep in mind, whatever you say can be or might be used against you in the future.
You never know.
So keep that in mind as well.
Yeah.
Even being in America, by the way.
So, yeah, it's just crazy to me how we didn't put more effort in.
Like, we'll go...
To Helen back to get Brittany Griner back, right?
When she obviously...
You know, I don't think any...
I mean, obviously, the United States needs to do what it needs to do to bring its citizens back, but it just amazes me how they went through hell and high water to get her back, and we traded a fucking war criminal for her, right?
But they didn't put any effort whatsoever to get Gonzalo out.
What did Gonzalo do?
He told the truth.
Yeah.
And unfortunately, today, the truth is not...
The truth is actually going to hurt you because people don't want the truth to be out there.
Yeah.
As a result, you're a last resort now because, oh, you're a citizen of America?
We get it, but, you know, you're not really on our side, so...
Yeah.
Everything he said is true though.
People thought he was a Russian propagandist and a Russian agent or whatever.
What he said two years ago, that Russia was winning this war and that Russia was going to win, is fucking true.
Now look what happened.
Everyone forgot about the war.
They're more concerned with what's going on in Israel.
They're not necessarily concerned with what's going on in Ukraine anymore.
And it's pretty much, everyone knows at this point that Russia has decidedly won this conflict.
Because their goal wasn't to take over Ukraine.
Their goal was to stop NATO expansion and protect the ethnic Russians of the East and Ukraine.
You know what I'm mad about?
What?
There's two kids out there that we know about and a wife without a dad.
Yeah.
Because of his mouth.
Yeah.
Because of his political views.
Literally.
And this is, guys, this is the extreme end of what happens when you make content like we do.
You know?
Which is why support is needed.
Yeah.
You know, it's just an unfortunate reality.
Look at Alex Jones.
If you're going to make any time...
Yeah.
Alex Jones was canceled off everything.
He recently just got his Twitter back, right?
Shout out to Elon Musk for giving it back to him.
But, guys, if you make content like this, you are going to be honest.
You're on borrowed time.
Actually, I would argue, though, this is kind of like behind the scenes, too.
Twitter's not that safe either.
Because they're keeping all your shit recorded.
And whatever you said in the past, nigga, they could bring that shit back up.
It's better than what it was, at least.
At least we know, like, I mean, the Twitter files exposed that the Bureau was 100% and the FBI was looking at people's shit.
Look at these cases, bro.
For example, SA, all these things coming back up.
People tweeted years ago, bringing it back up.
Asian doll.
Whatever you tweet is going to be there pretty much forever.
Well, I mean, they can't control that.
That's their profile.
But you put these things there.
No, but I'm saying, like, yeah, it's always going to be there.
Either way, be careful what you say.
That's all I'm saying.
Yeah, I mean, people are always going to have some shit to say.
Okay.
Yeah, so this is him, guys, right before.
We'll hit play.
The start of the genesis of this whole situation.
It's because I had an opinion that went against the narrative.
And that's why I went to prison.
And that's why if I'm arrested again, I will die in prison.
So I ask you, please, as many people as possible, the American State Department knows exactly who I am and the situation I'm currently involved in.
And they know The fate that awaits me.
They know it.
You know, they have that saying that...
I forget the wording exactly.
You know, I'm a little stressed out as you can imagine.
But they have that saying that...
People are fundamentally good, but for evil to triumph, all you need is the indifference of good people.
Please don't be indifferent to my fate.
I ask you this very humbly.
Please recognize that, well, the literal death that awaits me.
You called it.
if this doesn't work out.
Understand what's going on.
Thank you.
And I know some of you guys are saying, yo, why didn't he come back to the United States?
Guys, he couldn't.
Men couldn't leave Ukraine at this time.
So that's why he couldn't leave.
And that's why, obviously, him going to Hungary was a huge risk.
That's sad, man.
Yeah, man.
And the fact that the way he passed away, because I know they tortured him again when he went back in.
You know, this fucking piece of shit, man.
Yeah, I mean, guys, write your congressman, man.
This is crazy.
The fact that they could let an American citizen die in a Ukrainian prison, right?
When he hasn't even been convicted yet, by the way.
Is fucking ridiculous.
And Zelensky is supposed to be running a democracy.
This is the country that we've sent billions upon billions of dollars to and they let an American citizen die for exercising their right to free speech and their supposed democracy.
Because that's what he's been campaigning on.
Oh!
We're a partner of America!
We're a democracy like you guys!
We're one of the few democracies out there in Eastern Europe standing against the Russian regime!
You need to support us!
But, obviously behind closed doors, what the fuck are they doing?
They're doing the same bullshit that they're criticizing Russia for.
They're running the same fucking gulag system where they're having prisoners beat the shit out of political prisoners in there that don't align with their viewpoints.
They're doing the same fucking shit.
They don't care.
This is fucking wild, bro.
And it's really scary how he predicted all of this.
He called it.
He literally called it.
Google these names.
If you guys don't hear from me in 12 hours, I'm on this list too.
Because all those people fucking disappeared.
Actually, you know who was in a similar, well not similar, but almost similar occasion?
Who?
Andrew Tate.
Yeah.
And it wasn't even what he said per se.
It was kind of like, they just didn't like him.
I don't know, man.
To me, leaving the U.S., the other countries, bro, is kind of dangerous because you never know.
Especially, yo, the U.K., bro.
Like, you could get fucked.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's no free speech over there either.
But either way, man.
They wrote Rumble a letter to ban Russell Brand because of that whole bullshit.
Where's that case now?
No charges have been filed still.
Bro, this shit is crazy, man.
If you say the wrong thing, they're gonna come after you.
We're in the era of free speech is almost gonna be extinct.
Because...
I mean, look, to be fair, in America you can say what you want, but...
How much is that actually to your detriment?
Like, people don't realize, but like, things are not as they used to be.
Things are changing.
Election year is here right now.
And whatever you say can be used against you because they put you in the box.
Oh, this is how this person thinks are their XYZ. But for us as creators, we give you guys the truth.
And let's give you the truth means that we're liable for what happens to us.
But Coach Red Pill, he didn't care.
He was like, you know what?
I'm going to give the truth out there, no matter what it costs.
All he asked for was to help.
He took a huge risk, man.
He took a huge risk doing it in Ukraine.
Granted, yeah, he shouldn't have been in Ukraine.
Yeah, but he couldn't leave.
He couldn't leave, too.
Yeah.
So it's like he wants to tell the truth.
He can't escape.
What's he going to do?
He's like, you know what?
Fuck it.
And here's the other thing, too, guys.
All those channels that he has, they're demonetized.
He wasn't doing it for the money.
Yeah.
None of them were monetized.
He had a Patreon, but that's about it, man.
That's how he survived.
Because all of his channels were demonetized.
So he was doing it strictly for the good of the people, man.
Telling people what was really going on.
Because remember, keep in mind, at the height of the war, when it first happened, what was going on?
Oh yeah, Russia's evil, Putin's bad, they're invading.
Americans didn't know or understand the sensitive geopolitical circumstances surrounding the Russian invasion.
Most Americans thought they're just invading because Putin's a tyrant.
He's an asshole, blah, blah, blah.
But they didn't understand, obviously, that Ukraine used to be a part of Russia, the former Soviet Union.
They didn't understand what NATO is.
Most Americans don't even know what the fuck NATO is, bro.
So it's just like they didn't understand that, obviously, just like we have national security initiatives, Other countries have national security initiatives too.
And to them, NATO expanding, which they had been doing for decades, and they promised that they would not do, by the way.
They had promised Putin on several different occasions that they would not expand NATO to their border, which they fucking did, and they lied every single time.
Putin said enough is enough, and he fought back, and everyone said that he's a tyrant or whatever.
Hey man, if you put America in the same position, a lot of times when I explain this shit to retarded Americans, because let's be honest here, most Americans are stupid about foreign affairs or foreign policy.
When I explain it to them, I tell them, if China decided to set up a military base of operations in Mexico City, what do you think would happen?
Oh yeah, we'd probably go into Mexico and kick them out.
That's exactly what Russia did.
Then they get it, yeah.
That's the only way that you can get it.
Because for some odd reason, in America, we tend to think our national security is the only thing that matters and other countries don't have a right to defend themselves or don't have a right to protect their own national security.
Russia's doing what's best for Russia.
Every country's going to act in their own self-accord.
So what do you think he could have done in this scenario?
What could he have done?
There was nothing he could have done, bro.
Honestly.
There was nothing he could have done.
The only thing he could have honestly done was do nothing, which, you know, obviously he's not going to do.
Which is not say a word about the conflict.
If that was you, what would you do?
I would have done the same shit.
I would have done the same shit.
Night of Martyr?
Yeah.
Because now, you know, he stood for something.
You know?
He stood for something.
And that's why I think it was so important that we do this episode.
Like, he stood for something.
Obviously, he got killed standing for something, but he told the truth.
Everything he said fucking two years ago when everyone was talking shit, right?
Because they invaded Ra almost two years ago on the dot.
Everything he said is fucking true.
And the news now is finally starting to report the truth.
You know what sucks, though?
Yeah.
After this episode, a couple weeks past, moments past, what's going to happen?
People forget.
His kids are still there.
His wife.
His kids.
I mean, listen, bro.
I get it being a martyr, but goddamn, bro.
Like, you got a family, bro.
That sucks.
Like, I don't know.
That's different.
Yeah.
No, it's unfortunate, man.
It really is unfortunate.
But, you know, I respect the fact that he took an enormous amount of risk for truth, and he wasn't getting paid for it.
You know, a lot of you guys don't know that his stuff was...
His channels weren't monetized.
They weren't monetized, guys.
Some shots here?
Alright, let's go.
That's tough, bro.
You know what's crazy?
Some people are making fun of this shit, and I'm like, bro, what if that was your family, bro?
That's not funny, bro.
That's actually pretty serious.
I don't know, man.
What do we got here?
We got Mo Chair Rebellion.
Ignore Reddit.
They only complain about after hours and the crew even during Christmas slash New Year's.
They mostly blackpill incels.
Most of the criticism is unproductive slash hate.
Okay.
Okay.
Captain Bam...
Oh, no.
Antonio Boros.
Yeah, I tried to fight back, but they big snitched once and they threatened to kill me.
Fresh admired from y'all experience.
How will these people end up in the future from y'all personal experiences?
School doesn't give a fuck.
So, see, this is why...
You need somebody bigger than you to help or just say, you know what?
You fuck with him, you fuck with me.
But granted, these people that are bullying you, bro, guess what?
The future's gonna be like this for them.
You need to learn how to fight too, man.
They bully you, they make fun of you, but take that energy, bro, go in the gym, And I would say use the energy to put it towards good things.
Because what's going to happen here, bro?
If you don't find somebody to actually stop this right now, it's going to continue.
But put in your head that their life is going to suck.
Because them being bullies, bro, that's all they know right now.
It's fun to them.
Karma, I think, is real on some level.
Maybe it's not real.
But things do come around.
So they'll get their fear of justice, and God doesn't look ugly, so he's going to definitely punish them on some level.
But for you, bro, you need a big bro or somebody to come in, help you with this, because, bro, you can't do it on your own.
You can't.
That's what I would say.
Yeah, man.
Absolutely.
Train, bro, and learn some self-defense, and then, you know, do some karate kid shit.
They don't know that you've been training, and then, bong, you just hit them in the eye, and you do, you know what I mean?
And they don't even see it coming when they try to attack you.
Okay, Leon Phelps, or no, where we at here?
Was it Leon Phelps?
Okay, yeah.
He goes, all good, bro.
The question was, if you were vetting a second wife, shout out to Angie, and she checked all the boxes, lived with her parents, would you be okay with no sex before marrying her?
Much love to all you guys.
Yeah, I would be.
Kyle goes, the RP, first we lost Kevin Samuels, a social influence, the likes of MLK and Malcolm X. Now we've lost a martyr for truth in a dirty major war we're making history.
Yeah.
But that's what I'm saying.
Nobody cares.
Like, okay, Kevin died.
Rest in peace to him.
But people don't really care anymore.
It's almost like you died.
You gave value and a lot of your time and energy towards these things.
But, I mean, you know, like, I don't know, man.
It is weird to me.
I mean, yeah, I'd rather, you know, I'd rather go out, die for something than, like, just die, like, normally, like, oh, yeah, I just died of old age.
You know what I mean?
It's like, that's great.
Obviously, that's the best.
Ideally, you'd want to die of old age and doing what you're standing for, what you believe in, which I think, you know, Gonzalo got to do.
The thing that sucks here in this situation was the way it went about it, and then, obviously, the fact that he left a family behind.
Because he had two young kids, I think, like, 10 or 11.
And a wife.
And a wife, so...
Because they left as soon as the conflict happened, they left.
But to be fair though, he did give a lot of videos with value.
You know what's funny?
Kevin did too.
Actually, not funny, but I thought this was really smart that he did this.
He said he made his YouTube channel so that his kids can grow up and they'll have that advice.
And watch it.
And watch it.
And they'll have access to it.
That's why he made his YouTube channel.
I always thought that was really cool.
But no, they're gone.
I'm sure he has them in a drive somewhere.
No, but on YouTube it's gone.
Yeah, yeah.
Those old videos are gone.
Yeah, yeah.
There's re-uploads and shit like that.
Which sucks.
Yeah.
He was actually really good with...
A lot of you guys...
He used to be in film.
He was a very good...
If you guys watched his older videos, he would have multiple camera angles, different lights, different cuts, etc.
He was very good with film.
Somebody should re-upload his videos on YouTube.
Yeah.
Should find the videos that he did in the past.
They were very good, by the way.
And put them on YouTube again.
That would be good for his legacy.
Yeah.
So...
What else do we got here?
We got here, um, uh, SG. Okay, goes, yeah.
Hey guys, my girlfriend that I've been with for a few months now is in school to become a nurse.
They have study sessions with multiple classmates, mostly women.
Should I be concerned if there are some males there too or just play it cool?
Bro, she's going to school.
Oh, he's not talking about the study sessions.
I mean, if this guy's there, bro, like...
That's where you need to assess, you know, how much you trust your girl.
And the frame you have with her, because...
This guy's everywhere, bro.
Yeah, because, I mean, her having a study session, I mean, with other people there...
I mean, yeah, when I went to college, you'd do that.
You'd all be sitting there and be studying together and getting ready for an exam and shit like that.
I mean, if she's a hoe, then yeah, I'd be worried, but it's not a hoe.
Yeah, that's something that only you can actually answer, bro, because we don't know your girl.
You should have vetted her from the beginning.
But if there's other red flags there and shit like that, then you need to be concerned, for sure.
Yeah.
You know, this is one of those situations where it's like you got to look at the totality of the circumstances with the female.
Is all her other behavior spot on where that's not an issue?
Or does she have other red flags that make you concerned about that?
Like coming home extra late?
Yeah.
Which I'm willing to lean on the fact that she might have some other bad habits, which is why you're asking us.
That's the question.
Yeah.
But only you can answer that, my friend.
So what I would say is...
Look at her other behaviors.
Does she have other red flags?
We got here...
Kaiman.
Kaiman goes, first time super chatter.
You guys should bring flight reacts on After Hours.
It would be a funny as fuck love from Norway.
I tried.
He with it.
Yes, Sam.
He is a simp.
I mean...
I like Flight, man.
I like Flight.
I think he's cool, but he don't want to be on the show.
A lot of these big streamers guys are simps, bro.
And blue pills fuck.
Like, they're not gonna come on, guys.
And that's what happens when you make content like this, guys.
That's just what happens.
Yeah, that's true.
Three Birds says, Myron, I don't know if I want to take the college route or go to trade school or the Army.
I don't know what career I want to go into.
I don't have a particular skill set.
I have a lot of ambition, like hands-on stuff.
I could afford college but more money in trades.
Get into trades, bro.
If you like doing things with your hands and you have ambition and stuff, watch our episode that we did with Red Pill 4.
Very good one, by the way.
That will help you a lot.
And we're going to bring some more people on to talk about that stuff.
I've actually been scouting Instagram.
Looking for people.
We need a trucker that knows his thing very well.
We need as well, maybe a welder.
An electrician, a welder, something like that.
A plumber, too.
Yeah.
But we're going to...
Don't worry, guys.
We got y'all, man.
We're going to give you guys that value in...
This is what we do over here, bro.
We give y'all that value, man.
We're going to find other people in these professions so you guys can choose.
Like I told y'all before, not all of you are cut out to be entrepreneurs.
Some of you guys might have to go ahead and get a regular job and there's fucking nothing wrong with that because you can make quite a bit of money doing this stuff.
The good thing is you have options that you can look into.
BigThingsTheGuan says, Well, Guan Brothers, I see that people are asking for a trucking owner to come on the podcast.
I own a trucking business and I support you guys 100%.
And I'll be honored to be on y'all's show.
If possible, big up to everybody in the studio.
Send us a DM. Hit up Big Mo on Instagram.
Yeah.
And say own trucking company.
Yeah.
Like in all caps or something so Mo can find you easily.
That's good.
Who else is up next?
Elmond Howard goes, what's up gang?
I have forgotten.
I was a CC member until the other night.
Would it be possible you guys can give a behind-the-scenes stream of studio and podcast preparations?
We do.
We do that before every show, bro.
Every show with a pre-show with Ice and the girls and they show the whole studio.
Yeah.
Everything.
Yeah, man.
He wants to what?
He probably wants to hear like a step-by-step preparation.
I think it's all there.
I mean, maybe Howie has it set up.
Moe, you can do that for them one time.
Moe can do that for y'all one time.
Or Icy can follow him and show how he sets everything up.
Not the classified stuff, though.
Albo Ace goes, been supporting since the beginning and always will.
Too much value.
And y'all have completely shifted my mindset since I started watching.
And I'll super chat every show.
It's at least I can do.
Shout out to the team.
Thank you so much, Albo Ace.
You have been a long time rocking with us, man.
Always.
Selfmade Forever goes, can y'all see if Chris from Rumble can set it up where viewers have to pay $1 to watch so every After Hours y'all make $25k per show and Money Mondays will be paid.
Also $1 per viewer on Rumble pay-per-view.
Nah, man, that's fine.
We don't need to do that.
But I appreciate the suggestion.
Yeah, I mean...
Our thing is we don't want to force people to pay.
We want to give as much of it away for free and then put a portion of it behind a paywall.
But yeah, like I said before, we won't do that with the regular shows.
We'll do that with some other stuff.
We just want to show appreciation for our Castle Club guys.
And we still will, by the way.
Yeah, we still will.
If anything, the Castle Club members should have made these 304s mad that those 304s were boring and below mid-paywalling them was a waste of time.
I actually had a pretty good discussion, man.
Logan says, Myron, didn't you guys say you were doing better financially than before the monetization?
RIP Coach Red Pill.
Yeah, we are, but...
Okay.
Okay.
Holy fucking shit.
Bro, since we did better, let's use a little bit of common sense here.
Since we did better, we invested more.
When you invest more, costs go up.
Costs go up.
You need to make more money to continue to maintain the added production costs and quality of the show going up.
This is business, my friend.
101.
So like, yes, we were doing better.
So since we were doing better, we said, you know what?
We're going to invest in a new studio, in new equipment, making things better, getting new cameras.
If you guys notice, our camera quality is way fucking better now because we went from Sony A7Rs to FX3s, which are cinema line cameras, right?
As y'all can see right now.
Okay?
So...
Do better.
We invest that money right back.
You invest that money right back.
Costs go up to maintain that higher level of production quality that we have.
And we've been maintaining that.
You know a good example?
Mr.
Beast.
He makes a lot of money from videos, of course.
What does he do?
Invest it back in.
Right back in.
Some of these videos cost him a million dollars to make.
Yep.
Guys, this shit is not cheap.
It's not.
It really isn't.
Equipment, team, everything.
Yeah, it's a lot.
You know, so yeah, bro.
Yeah, we are doing better after demonetization.
But that means that costs have gone up to maintain doing better.
It's okay.
No, it's okay.
It's fine.
We're good.
He doesn't know, bro, but...
Steve, I made 100K in November and December, hanging Christmas lights.
Should I focus on creating a course to teach others the ins and outs, potentially selling it next year, or should I prioritize growing my company for the social proof?
Hanging lights?
You made that much money?
Goddamn.
That's pretty good, bro.
I mean, think about it.
Hanging lights as a skill for two months, 100k?
That's not bad.
That's fucking crazy, bro.
What town was that?
What city was that?
And that's a niche.
Oh, he probably did it commercially.
Okay.
He probably did it commercially for big businesses.
If you can teach people that, they can make money from it.
Yeah.
I don't see a problem with it.
Nigga, I wouldn't even teach people.
That's a niche that only you could probably do.
I wouldn't even fucking bother.
Give that to yourself, bro.
Some shit is not to be taught, my man.
The game is to be sold and not told, my friend.
Yeah, man.
I mean, it's up to you if you want to do that, bro, but that's a niche that you don't want competitors in, my friend.
I'll take my private fund, bro.
Keep that to yourself in my opinion.
I'll take a nigga's shit, bro.
Because he probably has exclusive contracts, has contacts, etc.
Bro, fuck that shit.
Because you're going to have to give some of that away.
And you're in such a small niche that having a competitor can really fuck with your bottom line, bro.
So, alright.
The lames heavily critique innovators.
The value and amount of content FNF push is far beyond the competition.
Fresh said it best.
Listen to the real supporters.
Their feedback will always be genuine.
Yeah, man.
Facts, bro.
Yeah, I mean...
All the haters, bro, you can talk.
I ain't listening.
Supporters, I got your back, bro.
You know, like I said, some of the criticisms are valid, right?
Like, I'll be in the Reddit, I'll be reading it.
Some of the criticisms are valid, but a lot of it is just toxic, like, just hate for no reason, bro.
You know?
Like, a lot of y'all are just infatuated with just talking shit about Fresh and me and the staff and saying whatever, and it's like, god damn, okay.
Gaza, or Gaz, goes, thanks for all the value you provide, gents.
Fuck the laggots that are getting their panties in a twist.
Can we have more Myron Unhinged on Locals?
You will get it on...
Maybe we'll stream some Overwatch for y'all tonight on Locals.
I promise...
Let's do it.
Let's do it tonight.
I promise you, bro.
We'll do it tonight for y'all.
Myron on Overwatch getting mad is fucking hilarious, bro.
And I've been learning mouse and keyboard, so...
Yo, bruh.
Yeah, man.
This shit's hard.
Only locals, though.
Not...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's gonna be locals.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not Rumble.
Not Rumble.
You think Myers unhinged on the show?
It's bad on locals.
Look at Mo's face.
Bruh.
I'm telling you, bruh.
Bro, it's horrible.
This nigga goes off the fucking house, bro.
The roof.
Y'all will see.
We'll do locals tonight for y'all.
There you go.
Thanks for all the value you provide.
Okay, no, sorry.
We really traded John Wick for Juana Man.
Facts!
L-U-S-Bide and L-Bide administration.
Yeah, guys, look at Victor Boot.
Guys, I did a whole episode on Victor Boot on FedReacts.
Can we pull up the video real quick, Bills?
Guys, this dude was a fucking badass dude, bro.
You know, that's the guy we traded for fucking Brittany Griner.
And y'all will see how ridiculous it is that we couldn't...
Once you guys see that...
Then you'll see how ridiculous it is that we didn't help Coach Red Pill.
Yeah.
Who's up next?
Okay, so we give them $150 billion and they kill one of ours?
I'm telling you, Proto-Rap.
What did I say?
Yeah, bro.
That makes no sense to me.
It makes no sense, man.
They put into their war and they kill one of our own.
Niggas killed an American citizen.
But you know what?
That makes me realize Biden and the State Department didn't want to get him back.
100%.
I promise you, if Biden said, yo, we need this guy back, it would have been a rap.
It would have been a wrap.
It's fucking Biden's fault.
This is the video, guys.
Victor Belt and the Merchant of Death.
And I cover his case.
Damn, I was baldy back then.
Pause.
I go into that there, guys, and I cover it.
I react to a documentary on there.
It was a DEA case.
Fair use, fair use.
But yeah, and I go over the legal documents and everything else like that.
Timestamps are in there.
Fair use.
Yeah, fair use.
Okay, we got here.
Law of Distraction.
I would run Overwatch with the Oncasa Club.
I'm a PC player.
High IQ. Good aim.
Team player.
Hit me up.
Bro, what's your tag?
We'll add you, bro.
Yeah.
Law of Distraction.
Yeah, we gotta get his tag.
Or a battle tag, or whatever it's called.
A man unwilling to die for something is unfit to live.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Okay.
What do you guys think of the ARC-7 real estate platform?
Never heard of it.
Haley Kitchen, 2024.
Dom721.
Haley Kitchen, what?
I don't know what he means by that.
No, no.
Beast Berto says...
Thoughts on Doral?
I want to move to Southern Florida.
My job has a branch there.
Currently on California.
Yeah, Darrell's not bad, bro.
Darrell's a quite nice place.
Fun fact, my old office is in Darrell.
Mostly Hispanic, though.
When I worked with HSI. So there's a lot of Colombians, Venezuelans as well.
So it's more like a Spanish place.
You're 15 minutes from Miami.
Yeah.
On 836.
You'll see some money.
Good people.
It's not bad.
Yeah, it's not bad.
But you only need to learn Spanish, nigga.
You may get bored.
Yeah, you're going to need some Spanish.
They call it Doralesuela for a reason.
You guys have changed my life since a year ago.
A girl broke up with me after two years as she went to college.
Since then, I've had more than double my income.
Still trying to get to that 100K mark.
I don't drink anymore.
My physique has improved entirely.
Good job, bro.
That's what we're fucking talking about, man.
Good shit.
Hey guys, can y'all have a CCW and EDC every cake?
Oh yeah, you guys have been asking for this shit for a while.
Okay, it's a lot of men and women that don't know how to properly carry and handle a weapon.
Maybe just basic self-defense class or IRL stream at the gun range.
Yeah, we could do that for y'all.
Yeah, you guys have actually asked for that for like almost two years.
We'll do that for you guys.
No problem.
As your number one Mormon support, WFresh, I'm in Unplugged Fitness and have my own empanada shop, El Peco, and on my way to get certified so I can be an SPD traveler almost to that six figures and getting in shape from yours truly, member Mormon supporter.
Shout out to the Mormons out there.
Fresh, you recommend YSL Tuxedo multiple times on previous streams.
Let me just say, holy, great stuff, and WFresh for the recommendation.
All my fragrance guys, get when you can.
I'm telling you, bro, I walk into a room, you smell so good.
What is it?
YSL Tuxedo.
Tyler says, you guys are apologizing for simply miswording accountability strong.
Fuck anus and leak.
WFNF Media Moe.
Yes, sir.
Appreciate you, Tyler.
Colonel Sanders goes, the ones who are whining about the paywall are the same ones who haven't donated a dime to the pod.
That's true.
Oh, shit.
That's true.
Calling them out, bro.
That's true.
Because I'll tell you this.
When I go through the Reddit, a lot of them say, I've never donated to Fresh Afin.
Anyway, fuck them.
And I'm just like, what the fuck?
Fuck them.
They're like, yo, they're complaining about the paywall, and then they say, yo, I would never give them a dollar anyway because they're already rich.
And I'm like...
See, this is why I don't read it.
And again, the supporters that support us, I support them.
So whatever they got to say, I'll listen to.
You're not supporting us?
Understandable.
You can still watch, but hey, your opinion to me, relevant.
Sometimes you gotta sip through the garbage to get some gems, because there is some good criticism in there.
But, what I will say is, a lot of people...
I won't see it.
A lot of people will literally be in there and say, I've never super cheddar, I never will, I'll never give them a dime, fuck those guys.
And I'm just like, I'll never understand that.
How you watch people that you don't like?
People that I watch, bro, I support.
I remember, dude, I was making like $10 an hour.
My mentor, I bought his course.
I bought his masterminds.
I showed up because I support his content, no matter what it was.
Yeah.
And it helped me grow to who I am today.
So it's like, bro, y'all niggas are, I don't know, man.
It's different.
It's strange, man.
Yeah.
It's fine, though.
The ones who, okay, yeah.
So, yeah, wouldn't spend a dime on the pot.
I've been here since January 2021 and spent far more than $20 a month.
Shout out to OG, Telegram, WFNF, WCast Club.
Thank you so much, Colonel Sanders.
We remember you too, man.
I know he's still supporting.
Bro, remember the Patreon calls we used to do?
Yeah, yeah.
He was in there.
Yeah, I know.
I remember him.
We used to roast him.
Yeah, yeah.
He was up north, up north.
Shout out to him, bro.
He actually been rocking with D.L. Saint lately.
He had a question about a chick in a movie theater.
I remember that shit, man.
He's doing business.
A date with a movie theater.
He's doing business with D.L. Saint right now.
That's awesome, man.
Yeah.
Yo, what if we did a Zoom call for the members?
That's what we should do.
On Castle Club.
We should do a once a month Zoom call.
Yeah.
And then play Overwatch with them as well.
W value, man.
We should do that.
Maybe we could do that.
That'll be fun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Alright.
Man, I thought you were more of a Call of Duty guy instead of Overwatch or Fresh.
Why haven't you got a JDM car?
I had one, bro.
I had a Honda Civic Type R, a yellow.
Actually, it was in a magazine, by the way.
I had that car back in Barbados.
But now I'm in America, bro.
Having JDM isn't the same.
It doesn't have that appeal anymore.
And at the stage, I'm at where I'm at right now.
It doesn't have the value that I want to have.
A Lambo, you know, a G-Wagon that has more value for what I'm doing right now.
But back in the day, for sure, I had a JDM car.
For sure.
All right.
Y'all right.
I support y'all.
Let's go.
Thank you.
E.G., Support people that bring you value.
Shouldn't be a question.
Broke boys will stay broke with that mindset just so the real ones on Cats Club Rock, which I appreciate that so much, man.
RIP goes, City Inn goes, the paywall can work.
Crowder does it for $99 and you get a mug.
Any way you guys can match that?
Yeah, we can.
We can.
Like I said before, we're trying to...
We don't put as much stuff behind a paywall as they do.
They put a lot of stuff behind a paywall, but obviously the guys, they got a big production.
I see why.
When we went over there and saw what goes behind the scenes, man, they work really hard behind the scenes.
Shout out to Crowder and his team over there.
But that allows Crowder to have what?
Control and money to invest.
Yeah.
I thought about this the other day.
There's a saying, the root of all evil is money.
What group of people are stereotyped to love it and control so much of it?
WFNFL 304s.
We see what she did there.
No, Billy.
Marine goes, our minor fresh equal partners in this podcast business.
Would you guys ever allow anyone to buy a stake in a company like anyone in the crew?
Nah.
Nah, it's just me and fresh.
No, at this point.
The four Zov must be happy.
There were three major journalists who were targeted.
Lyra, Eva Bartlett, and Vanessa Bealy.
They're all exposed.
The psyop that they were all on the list.
Fuck that establishment.
Yeah, Jackson Hinkle's on that list too.
Guys, the kill list for Ukraine.
Bro.
And they have a kill list.
They absolutely do.
What?
Yeah, they do.
Believe it something, even if it means sacrificing everything Colin Kaepernick.
Okay.
Strange person to quote, but okay.
Call it Kaepernick, bro.
Okay.
All right.
Cool.
I think that's it, guys.
That's it for now.
Bill, something else?
Oh, Dom says, it means Haley needs to drop out of race already and get back in the damn kitchen.
If the men handled this, we can't F around anymore in this country.
Yeah, Vivek actually just dropped out, and he's endorsing Trump now, which is great.
It's smart.
You know, hopefully, if Trump becomes president, he puts Vivek in his cabinet.
Yeah.
Yo, Myron, there's got a Glock 19.
Great pistol.
What do you think about the Glock brand and what's your favorite pistol?
Bro, the Glock 19 is a fantastic gun.
That's what I carried when I was on the job.
That was like my everyday carry, was a Glock 19.
RIP, the maker of Glock, passed away recently.
Real Deal K says, love the show.
I'm a professional dog trainer.
Makes $250,000 a year.
I would love to give info on teaching people how to get into this career.
Also makes you a better person.
You understand human slash dog psychology.
Okay.
That's actually another avenue, too.
Yeah, interesting.
Yeah, you can make a lot of money being a dog trainer, bro.
Because a lot of people don't want to train the dog.
They want it ready to go.
So you train a dog up and you give it to them.
Bro, I know someone close to us that spent $200,000 training a dog.
Yeah.
For a year.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
Yeah.
And dog sitters too, by the way.
Top only goes, Myron, what do you think about bringing on Dr.
Shiva?
He's the real deal and completely base as fuck.
He's recently been on Ryan Dawson.
Sneakos would be a great concept for the show.
Yeah, I saw one of his interviews.
Yeah.
Yeah, I gotta figure out how we will go about it.
I don't know if we'd be able to put it on YouTube.
Yeah.
That's the only thing that kind of sucks.
I don't know if we'd be able to put it on YouTube.
Or we'd have to cut a portion of it off of YouTube if we did it.
Yeah.
So I just gotta figure out how we would do it logistically.
Because I don't want to do a remote interview.
I don't want to do it in person.
And then we'd have to figure out planning it out and then obviously doing a Rumble cut because there's certain things that he talks about that we're going to have to put on Rumble for obvious reasons.
Y'all already know what the fuck I'm talking about.
Which he's pretty accurate on, by the way.
But yeah.
Anyway, yeah, I think that's it.
Guys, so bottom line, guys, nothing is going to be behind a paywall that you guys have already seen before as far as regular shows and after hours.
Keeping it the same.
We're going to keep it the same, right?
That's the bottom line.
Obviously, we wanted to let you guys know why we did what we did so you guys get an idea.
It's not cheap to run this bitch, man.
It really isn't, man.
Casico members are going to get Overwatch games, IRL streams, maybe a one-a-month Zoom call.
Yeah, I think we can do that.
Out of content.
Yeah.
And yeah.
And let us know in the Castle Club what you guys think.
That's kind of what I wanted to...
When I said let's run a poll, I should have clarified I want to run the poll with the Castle Club.
But yeah, guys.
So regular shows will stay as they are.
And yeah.
We should have told y'all.
We didn't really clarify before.
So that's on us.
We just abruptly cut.
And we've got to take responsibility for that.
That is true.
That's a fuck up on our end, which we acknowledge and...
I apologize for it, but...
But recipes to Gonzalo Lira?
Yeah, but most importantly, recipes to Gonzalo Lira, guys.
Go support him.
Go check out his content.
Hopefully, we can put some of those videos back up that got taken down.
And honestly, man, State Department, like, fuck you guys, man.
Like, goddamn, bro.
As a former government employee, I'm actually literally ashamed.
That the Biden administration didn't do more to help out an American citizen that is being held as a prisoner that had health problems in a foreign country that's supposed to be an ally of ours that we've been giving billions of dollars in aid to during times of war.
Fucking wild.
I'll tell you this, though.
This will never be covered in the main media.
Nope.
Shout out to Tucker Carlson for breaking a story out for everybody else.
Yeah.
Guys, hope you guys enjoyed the show, man.
We'll be back after hours in about an hour or so.
Love y'all.
Peace.
