Martini Break with Viva Frei (Pun Intended)
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
This is going to be a first everybody.
I'm not on the wrong camera on accident.
I need to plug in the plug-in camera to my iPhone.
Stream Yard.
Okay, let me make sure that we're live here.
I want to make sure this is on Viva Random.
Good.
I'm on Viva Random.
Hold, let me just put this down here so I stop looking at that camera.
We're live on Viva Random.
I want to make sure that nobody's going to get upset.
And we're live on vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
Everybody, I will be done by Barnes's Bourbon with Barnes at 9 o'clock.
And we're going to try this thing called Martini Break.
Oh, no, what did I call it?
Viva Breaks?
Martini Break.
We'll do it live.
And by the way, just so everybody knows, I'm going to be emphasizing reading the chat on Locals specifically.
So if you're watching on Viva Random on Commitube, consider coming over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
actually got the notification on commitube viva breaks Let's see if we're see it doesn't even come up, but not that it should because viva breaks is I recently rebranded the viva.
Okay, I see something there.
Here we go.
All right.
Bill Van Ram is sums up here.
Link to locals.
I'll try to look at the chat over in commie tube and rumble, but mostly I'll be focusing on viva borns, law dot locals.com and answering questions, short unboxing.
Look, um, my wife will probably kill me, but, uh, I, I said I wouldn't do it again.
And then I did it again.
And because I've got fat fingers and this is, this is not a joke.
And I hit like anyone on locals knows that I've set up the same stream, like two or three times.
three times because I hit go.
It doesn't go.
I hit go again and things enter twice on the internet.
But we're going to make the best of a fun situation, which is to break a Breaker's Delight UFC pack and see what we get.
I got to get everything ready.
Gotta get the little sleeves here.
Got what are these things?
These are called penny sleeves and these are called the top loaders, which I have back here, but I got some fat top loaders just in case we get any.
a very nice signature card.
Oh, here it is.
These are the fat top loaders.
These are the regular top loaders.
And I'm going to answer questions and just we'll do like a fun.
It doesn't have to be law related.
It doesn't have to be politics related, but there are very few things of interest to talk about.
I'll tuck a boot in this world.
Canadians are pussies.
It says Vans 666 over.
Say, I was going to do this with my kid.
I'm like, no, we can't do it with the kid.
But it's called Martini Breaks.
I got to make sure I'm looking at the right camera.
It's called a, what did I call it?
What did I call this?
Martini Break with Viva.
Okay, so the Martini branding is everything, people.
Mr. Pickles, gin from Oregon.
And it's in a glass on the side here with, oh, I put pickles in the pickles gin.
Well, I'm just going to lean over and then.
And then, okay, there we go.
So it's a martini break, pun intended.
We're going to break and see if something fun happens and answer questions.
Bill Van Room says I watch both on locals and here.
Fantastic.
Now let me get to locals because there was a question in the locals.
Does Barry Sotoro get arrested first?
Barry Sotoro, for those of you who don't know, is Obama's apparently not real name, but FBI name.
What was it?
We're going to look this up in real time.
Why is Barry?
I think that's supposed to be his real name, Sotoro.
Yeah, Barry.
How did Obama get the name Barry Sotoro?
Barry is his nickname, much like JFK was also known as Jack.
Sotoro is Obama's stepfather since his father deserted him before.
All right.
I knew it's the name for Obama, just actually sort of forgot why Obama was enrolled as Barry Sotoro and was wrong.
Oh, here we go.
Let's go with Barry.
Obama's Indonesian school record.
See, this is what's beautiful we can do.
Can I add something else to the screen?
I think I can.
Here.
Barry's Indonesian school record shows Saint Francis Assisi Catholic Elementary School.
Obama was enrolled as Barry Sotoro number one and wrongly recorded as an Indonesian citizen and a Muslim wrongly.
All right.
Well, we're not going to get too far into the politics of that.
Viva, are you still bass fishing?
Orlando area has lots of lakes and big fish.
I'm still fishing.
We were doing the live bait fishing and we got to get into the breaking, otherwise it's never going to happen.
Hold on, I'm going to cough.
And no, I'm still fishing.
I'm still doing a lot of fishing.
Kid actually just came back from the flea market with an eight dollar used reel.
Watch what I'm going to do here.
Check this out.
Put that here and I want to do something like this.
And if I put my grubby hands there you go.
You see, that's how it's going to be able to do it.
like that here.
Okay.
Ooh, the nails.
I should have clipped my nails.
Let me lift this up a little bit.
Look at this.
It's gonna work.
Now I'm gonna go to Viva.
Oh, no.
I see that.
I don't see the Viva Barnes law.
Greg and Houston don't drink.
Well, you could have some seltzer or something.
Okay.
Let's go over here.
LOL martini breaks is Yalarifka.
And then okay.
So now up at the top, Viva, what's your wife's thoughts on the COVID vaccine?
We both.
Or didn't get a booster.
And my wife was very skeptical when our pediatrician said said that it was safe for the kids to do.
All right, we're going to do it now.
This is how it works.
Now, this is called a Breaker's Delight box.
It's got two signatures.
It's a box, but it actually is just a pack.
And it's a little, it's a little wild.
What's your view of Steve Bannon?
Says, damn down seven out.
I like Steve Bannon.
You don't have to agree with someone all the time in order to like them.
Where's the knife?
I had a knife that I was using to cut open.
You don't have to agree with someone all the time.
And nor does someone have to be a perfect person in order for you to respect them.
I like Steve.
I've never met him in person, but he's a smart man and he is damn good at what he does.
Okay.
Break number one for anyone who cares.
This is USC 2025 Tops Chrome.
I have, I love this.
It's stupid.
I'm convinced I'm not convincing myself that it's going to be a wise, that it's going to appreciate in value necessarily.
I'm pretty certain it won't.
But I'm going to find a way to make the unboxing, the breaking as they say interesting revolutionary and going to revolutionize the niche that is breaking and opening cards see now these things they get these are what they call all like good hit cards but they throw in some random what they call refractors or
parallels uh anybody who knows this what i want to do actually this time is can i do this here oh i'm revealing so what they do i think they take like the they take these refractors off the back they put these on the top so that you save the signatures to later.
But what I want to do as we do this, and I think we can, is review these guys' records in real time.
Brady Highstand Record UFC.
Here we go.
Let's take number one.
All of these guys have fought their entire lives, nine, two and zero, to get to where they are in life, to be on a card.
I mean, it can't be anything more of a pinnacle summit of one's career than getting on a card.
Brady Highstand.
And then we have.
We have Matthias Rebecca.
I thought he was a rookie this year, but I guess he's not.
Okay, hold on.
Bring this up here.
And then I'm going to get to more questions and we're going to get back to locals.
Here we go like this.
Oh, so these are the refractors.
Benoit Saint Denis.
I'm pretty certain he's from Quebec, if I'm not mistaken.
Then we've got Yudong Song.
And then we get into the fancy cards of these things where if there's anything good.
Tale of the Tape, we have these things called numbered cards, which I'm convinced is also just a way of revolutionizing the way they're going to dilute cards by seemingly giving you fancy cards right there.
It says 92 of 99.
Alexander Raychik.
Let's see who this guy is.
I mean, I know who he is, but I don't think I've seen him fight in a while.
Let me see here.
I won't bring it up.
I knew somebody named Rajic, but they didn't spell it like that.
Alec Alexander Rajic, martial artist.
Let's go with record.
His record is 14, 5 and 0.
Not the greatest record.
And then we've got three of 75., which is different than the numbered to 99.
So they have a green one that would be numbered to 99.
Sean Brady's awesome.
And he, I'm fairly certain he's a Marine.
If I'm not mistaken, let me make sure about that.
He's awesome to watch.
He's got it.
Sean Brady UFC record, 18-1-0.
And I'm fairly certain he was a Marine.
If I'm not mistaken, Sean Brady is an American professional mixed martial artist.
based on information, no evidence to suggest he was a Marine Corps veteran.
Okay.
Well, this is what we're doing with Sean Brady.
We're going to put that one in a penny sleeve, which you go like this.
This always makes me nervous.
This part, oh, there's a signature in me.
I just, Muhammad Ninamov, and that is, oh, I spoiled the surprise.
Okay, well, whatever.
Gotta put this in a sleeve to protect it.
We have got one of two signatures.
That is a nice looking signature to 150.
Muhammad Ninamov, rookie card.
It's number, oh, that's beautiful.
Where's Muhammad Nimov from?
I'm going to say he's from, I want to say Dagestan, but I'm not trying to be funny.
Muhammad John.
Oh, Muhammad Johnjan, Mohammadjan Naimov, here we go.
No, no, no.
Naimov.
UFC record, 13:30, not the best record.
Where is he from?
He's from Tajikistan.
And then underneath we've got, ooh, six of ten.
Derek Lewis, man.
I've been, I've been getting a lot of Derek Lewis's these days, but not on six of ten's.
This part makes me very nervous.
I'm going to wait to do that.
Okay, we're going to do that afterwards.
Derek Lewis, number six of 10 in the purple refractor.
Very nice.
Then we've got 37 of 50 who's at Roman Copilove.
Wait a minute.
Are there not supposed to be two signatures?
There's supposed to be two autographs, two chromautographs.
And I think I only got one.
Good thing it's on camera.
Otherwise, no one would believe me, Derek.
Huh?
Well, good thing I was recording this because we're going to have to have a discussion with the folks at POPS or wherever I got these from.
Huh, interesting, interesting.
I have to make sure I'm not going crazy here.
No, that was it.
Okay.
Good thing we have it on video, people.
And let me get to some of the chat now and see what's going on here.
I'd much rather have a signed Louis the Lobster book.
If you're coming to the Tennessee meetup, I'm going to bring books and I'm going to sign them.
I think I've got, I think about forty left that I'm going to bring, not forty left, forty that we're going to bring.
Oh, my grandson loves.
Oh, I can't bring these up.
My grandson is so that was JC fourteen says I'd rather have a Louis the Lobster book, come to Tennessee, come to the meetup and we're gonna have one.
I'm bringing a bunch and we're gonna figure out how to get them around.
My grandson loves Pokemon.
I don't understand Pokemon, but what time is it?
I said I'm not interfering with Barnes's bourbon with Barnes.
Dude, that's holding.
I have a sleeve that's going to be.
Here we go.
This.
You got the sleeves for thick cards so that you can put them in.
It's wild that I actually only got one signature, despite the fact that it's guaranteed to we will I'm just gonna make sure one two three four five six seven eight ten that was also two cards short holy cows I'm gonna have to send that over to the fine folks all right uh all right let's do this one here uh What do we got here?
Sheriff Joe of Arizona.
put his fraud squad on Obama's birth certificate and the squad said it was a fraud.
I haven't ventured any hypothesis into that.
I am skeptical.
I heard the stories of the person dying in a plane crash afterwards and can't believe anyone for believing crazy things.
I say crazy tongue and cheek.
Okay.
Algermaine Sterling.
This is what they call a base refractor.
Arianne de Silva.
It's funny, like, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Paul Craig, Tale of the Tape.
They have these new variations 48 of 99.
What do we have here?
Paul.
Paul, is that Paul Craig again?
Paul Craig, this is the dope version.
Where is 35 of 75?
These are kind of wild-looking cards.
The refractors are enough to maybe, oh, who's this?
Signature.
Oh.
Oh, my good.
That's Jose Aldo.
That's Jose Aldo, signature, not numbered, but that's Jose Aldo.
Hold on a second.
Am I going crazy?
That's Jose Aldo.
One of the fastest knockouts against Conor McGregor for anybody who remembers that.
Oh, yeah.
Look at he's got a decent.
Okay, that's beautiful.
And who do we have here?
Oh, oh, oh.
Go on.
Go on.
Amir Albazi.
Signature, very nice.
I'm going to put these in cases right after.
And then we got Leonard, oh, Arnold Allen, three of ten.
Beautiful.
Roman Kopalov, that is 99 to 99 we got tajir ulambekov 34 of 50 and then we got the three refractors at the back that they just throw in nobody cares about them beautiful okay well uh i'm actually quite stunned i'm gonna have to count these up and see what we do with this after now the other thing we want to check for is any imperfections in the card so you can see a little bit of streaking on it Of
course, I'm mildly neurotic, as everybody knows.
Now, look at this right here.
This is amazing.
I know TOPS has been good at replacing them because I've sent four back.
Right there, the plastic laminate is coming off.
Let me see if I can show you here.
The plastic, right there, you can see right there.
The plastic laminate is coming off the base of these cards.
So this is the pack that had 12 that has a defect on the signature card.
This is the exact same thing that happened with the Daniel Cormier that I had.
They agree to replace it, or at least I send it back.
and they they recognize it and bring it back but it's an amazing thing this one's this one's okay now you can see let me just get this out of here You got to figure for the amount of cards that they produce.
Okay, see, that's clean around the edges and that's clean on the bottom, but that's a problem.
And it's good that it's on camera and nobody can question whether or not it happened.
Look at that right there.
And you can see it when you come down at the bottom here, right there, right there.
Okay.
Good thing we were recording this, people.
Always in writing, never in cash.
And always on video.
Let me go see what's going on in the chat over on Viva Barnes.
Viva, the sooner you become a US citizen, the faster you can become.
a US judge like Amir H. Ali, who is also a Canadian lawyer.
I can't take this.
This mighty bit.
I asked the community if they wanted to see it and they said, do it.
I knew it was Vivian Tocars because whenever he screen shares various websites such as those ads are coming up.
Yeah, that's for sure.
This is two packs and two defective packs, one that only had one autograph and ten cards and the other that had a damaged signature of Jose Aldo.
All right, well, we're going to we're going to figure that out.
Before we end it, I should probably take another sip.
Before we end it, let me just make sure that we've got all the questions over here.
Hey Viv, I started watching you during the truckers carnival.
Caravan, dude, you're an awesome human.
Thank you for your continued contribution to keeping the MAGA movement going strong.
Trump fight, thank you very much.
I would love Viva as a judge, says Van 66.
And over on Comi 2, what do we got?
I don't do cards.
I would like to see your children's reaction to metric system versus US.
Well, let me let me close this one down here.
No, the metric system is better.
I prefer the metric system to the imperial system.
Kilometers are a more accurate unit of measurement than miles.
And when it says, oh, you only have 60 miles, that's like, that's a long time.
That's 100 kilometers, 60 kilometers.
And you get more accurate units of measurement.
I got a bad batch, so Zach the Cat is no question about that.
Okay, then we go up here.
What do we got?
Barnes is going live, Bourbon with Barnes, everybody.
Louis the Lobster.
I'm going to have to, I'm definitely have to now.
Yeah, that's it.
Could be worse.
He could have gone the Pokemon card route.
Yes, at least the UFC will get us into health.
I've been watching Tatsurya Taira's old fights with Ethan.
I'm going to go do that in about three minutes.
It's good.
I love it.
And the fighters are so flipping, amazing these days.
It's genuinely fantastic.
Don't wait till the bubblegum is decades old to eat it.
That's from Choosy Heretics.
I saw some packs at this store.
They have the old the wax junk or junk wax era.
The gum ruins the card that it touches.
It's kind of amazing.
Like back in the day, nobody even thought of that or cared about it.
Connie McGregor broke his own ankle.
Yeah, he oh gosh.
He broke it.
He cracked his shin in half.
Anderson Silva, Chris Wideman, so many people because they're training harder than their bones can actually maintain the level of impact.
And can you imagine kicking shin on shin?
Miles Rule says Humper Doo.
We got Homer Simpson says, My lady's glass is empty.
Bring her another cookies and cream, Martini.
Many federal judges were added during the Biden administration who were all foreigners.
I would be a game for them changing the rule and not allowing it.
Yeah, Slim Shagan says, Viva, keep everything, even the package and the boxes that it comes in, for sure.
Plus it's on video, like live cutting it open.
So that's fortunate.
Proof that Earth is flat, you know?
That's funny.
So I'm, by the way, just not to get political, but I was having a bit of an internet debate with Dr. Mike.
Who, let me make sure that my things here.
Look at this.
There we go.
I'll show you this.
It's an amazing thing where you can appreciate people who are not, don't argue honestly.
Dr. Mike, I talked about this clip today, but I saw Dr. Mike Varsovsky says, at what point will we as medical physicians, medical schools, medical organizations take a unifying stance against Secretary Kennedy repeatedly making these ridiculous inflammatory and inaccurate statements?
I said, everything he said is 100% accurate, which might explain the absence of a community note.
If you've got some evidence-based counter argument, make it.
Otherwise, shut your trap and keep your abhomel and gaslighting to yourself.
Then he writes this.
Sure, here's the vips.
I saw that video, this video.
Go watch it.
I'm going to do it.
I said, I watched the video.
Then I replied this.
I said, I asked this question in a quote tweet.
And although I don't suspect I'll get an answer, I'm going to paste it here as well.
I watched your video.
uh gonna clip the biggest representations did you watch the full lex feedman podcast you know the one you shared the three second clip from to which he answers i only wish you can be so fac fact-driven and detail-oriented when going over RFK statements.
And I said, can you answer the question?
The guy's not going to answer the question as to whether or not he watched the full Lex Friedman podcast in which he took a three-second clip to try to paint RFK Jr. as an anti-vaxer.
I know why he's not going to answer the question.
and it's totally disingenuous.
All right.
Everybody who's watching go and go, Bourbon with Barnes is coming up.
Hold up.
Let me just get all this stuff out of here and give you the link.
There's the link to Bourbon with Barnes YouTube Viva Breaks here.
We'll we'll do this again.
I don't know that we're going to do this again, but we will start doing like live fight night stuff to enjoy the fight night.
There's a good fight this weekend.
There's a bunch of good fights coming up like week after week.
I think um, I think Islam Makhachev is fighting soon, if I'm not mistaken, which is going to be a great fight to watch.
Uh, but that's it.
Kick a guest out of the studio.
Uh, so that may or may not.
have been very exciting.
I'm actually mildly shocked that it was missing a signature and I think one or two cards, I'm going to count them and the other one was damaged.
TOPS is good.
It's just a pain in the neck.
I have to go, you know, go to the post office, pay seven bucks for shipping, which I don't care about.
But that's not a good indication for what we refer to as quality control.
So locals, you may or may not have liked this, which is why I offered to do it only on Viva breaks.
But you insisted.
Do you like this?
Okay, good.
Viva, what's your favorite Simpsons episode?
It's the one when Homer Simpson goes to clown college is number one or is one of them.
The one when Lisa becomes a vegetarian is the second one.
The one when Patty and Selma take the kids to Duffland.
That's one of the greatest episodes ever.
Those are the three that come to mind offhand, just to answer it quickly without going into much research.
RB Ham says, Viva, RB here, struggling along in Canada.
My give send go ain't doing too well.
Did you hear the climate change lockdowns are now being implemented here?
Check Nova Scotia.
Anyway, here's my give send go.
RB Ham, I did.
Let me bring up your give send go and share it.
Oh, dude, I've been been going hard on Tim Houston.
Arby Ham is a man who got massive amounts of fines during COVID.
In the same way they're threatening to fine 25,000 dollars for anyone using the nature in Nova Scotia.
If everybody can help, if anyone can help, here's the link to Arby Ham, give, send, go there and over on CommitTube.
Yeah, Arby, I mean going hard, but like it's absolute insanity what's going on in Canada.
Most fight nights are on Shabbat, so it depends on when it is during the year.
In the winter after Havdalah and Saturday nights, I can join.
This is good, says Yal Rifka.
They're Saturday.
They start late.
They typically start.
Well, the main events typically start after sundown on Saturday.
You can't convince a flat Earth or otherwise.
Well, Dan Sunder, they did that live stream going to the Arctic to show, and it convinced half of them that the Earth was flat, and then the others believed it was some massive conspiracy.
They were live streaming the entire thing.
something to do with the sun, and even some of the flat earthers said, oh my goodness, we were wrong.
it's it's it's it's more of a philosophy a perspective of life and I can understand it Even if I vehemently disagree with it.
Okay, go.
I'm going to go now fill out a defect product form and notify.
Notify them.
It's terrible.
They're good and they're good about it, but that's kind of like if it's not on camera, it's like, oh, yeah, well, congratulations.
I don't believe you.
Whoo.
All right, go enjoy the evening tomorrow, 3 o'clock, same bad time for the standard stream, viva breaks for shorter videos and whatnot.
And that's it.
That was fun.
Good night, guys.
Have a good one.
