Brandon Herrera | AK-50 Update, His Secret First Channel, & Awkward Fan Moments

[@Alpha-ob2nd]

The absolute best part about "guntubers" is how real life they are. That's why I would rather watch their content than cable, Netflix, Amazon, etc.

[@IggyWon]

All of them except Karl Kasarda.

[@Stalker6622]

​@@IggyWon who?

[@tonyg6655]

Right on!!

[@JreUK]

The real Brandon Herrera

[@christopherjoseph3838]

100% brotha!

[@jamesprice2163]

Clints dad is a true badass went through the worst hell imaginable and managed to flip it into something to help people

[@stephenkiefer731]

Strong male figures in their children's lives make a difference, no truer words ever spoken. From my grandfathers, to my father, to my son and hopefully his children. We make a difference and it matters. Great show, glad to be part of the dinner table.

[@Pseudoswede]

Speaking of, I was just noticing that the only way this lineup could be better is if it included Clint “The Other Clint” Smith of Thunder Ranch. I think that notion also has a good bit to do with the current Marxist onslaught against the traditional nuclear family and straight (especially Christian) males in particular.

[@demolitioncarebear5462]

Probably what's wrong with me.

[@anf-2abuffalo603]

Your father was a good man, Clint. Firearm safety and knowing the weapon is the key to not having a tragedy like that happen again.

[@barttaylor9176]

Let's go Brandon!!!

[@niro___9688]

I just wanna say I love this side of the guntubers the friends that they all are, and the realism on the side that we as viewers can't fathom to understand, I appreciate all that Brandon and Clint do and hope you continue to do it

[@ryanensley7844]

There is no other group on this platform that I enjoy watching other than this. Between Clint, Brandon, Matt, even Donut, it has made getting into firearms an incredible experience. I didn’t grow up with this life, I decided it had to start with me to teach my wife and children the importance and safety of firearms. Having this group being the teacher I never had… it’s enlightening. I genuinely respect each and every one of y’all

[@Stylepoints71]

Heartbreaking story, Clint. Very proud of you for being able to share that. Thank you. Hopefully, all of your viewers can take something away from it, like I did. Thank you as well for using your platform to educate and inform. Well done, as always!

[@meaganfaircloth7283]

This was a really enjoyable podcast. I love Brandon's humor but it's nice to see him be so real and open about what life is like behind the scenes on a personal level. Hearing you guys have a genuine conversation about such hard topics really gives me even more respect for this community.

[@Raider214]

I've met both Clint and Brandon at last years Kalashbash, I can't say enough good things about either of them. Clint was catching a breather and still took the time to shake my hand and thank me as a viewer, Brandon was equally exhausted after doing all the meet and greets you imagine he'd have at an AK event, and he still took the time to say hi and get a pic or 2. They're a couple heroes of the industry you SHOULD meet

[@AcM.5233]

Nothing better then Brandon being on a podcast and just chilling.

[@kauphaart0]

Anything is better than Brandon being on a podcast and just chilling.

[@CenlaSelfDefenseConcepts]

Something that's encouraging to see is the relationship that all of these creators have with each other. I love seeing the collaborations with Brandon, Donut, Admin, Garand Thumb all of the streamers you've introduced to guns I love watching you guys have a good time.

[@BlackJacx1]

1:30:32 the conversation ends, and yet I see another 25 minutes... lol I love you guys. Just chatting and commiserating about your lives, jobs, experiences, and geek-ing out about guns and culture; WOW, SO GOOD!

[@joshs4515]

Thank you guys for taking the extra time even though you were all so tired. Brandon, you're one of the reasons I decided to start attending SDI to learn more of the mechanics of firearms to design some of my own ideas. Clint, I love your reviews and that you introduce different training drills that we can do. Ryan, I can't remember a video that had your disembodied voice where it wasn't saying something absolutely hilarious. I appreciate all the work you guys put in to entertain and educate us!

[@jesseglenturner]

Hands down, my favorite podcast so far. Like hanging out with friends 👍🏻

[@parkerwilson6989]

This really makes me respect you guys a lot more. I took your advice, but just wanted to say the love you have for each other makes you guys look real. Not just celebrities. I can really appreciate that

[@Armwrestling_Dad]

Just wanted to say that we all appreciate the work you guys do. Firearm normalization and education is needed now more than ever. Keep fighting the good fight!

[@jopopojo6470]

I listened to this while doing firearm maintenance and Clint's personal story made me stop what I was doing. That was a moment and I truly appreciate Clint sharing the story of his older brother's tragic passing. It's the best thing we can do with antigunners. Say to them "Guns are here and you should at least know how to be safe. I'm happy to show you how to keep yourself and others safe around firearms." Ty Clint.

[@omegaentertainment1]

Salute to my guys for dealing with the stress and everything from Shot Show THEN still having enough in the tank to START a freakin' podcast at 3am after doing several others in a row after interviews on the showroom floor all day. Clint is doing a great job and actually staying on certain topics all while being a little tipsy, which makes me happy 🤘🤘🤘

[@Fausto_4841]

why was shot show so bad? i'm not acoustic so i don't follow guntoober drama. did you mean that because it's a large industry show that is likely their "busy time of the year," or did something happen?

[@chrisjohannes179]

Let me tell you a little secret about newsrooms and alcohol!

[@Puppy_Puppington]

Cocaine is a hell of a drug

[@mrslalakelly]

This with out a doubt is one of my favorite podcast. Thank you Brandon, Ryan and Clint. It was real, raw and entertaining with out trying to be.

[@youngman850]

Learned so much about Clint here and I am definitely not mad about that. A good group of guys, loved listening to you all. You seem like really decent people.

[@casentwistle4628]

Just recently started selling guns.Enjoy everything you guys do! From Brandon to the whole Classic team. I've been into firearms for a while but you guys got me into wanting to sell, learn more, and eventually build them.

[@lzmj84]

Brandon is such a amazing bad influence on all podcasts he is on that he makes them all some of the best any channel has

[@FatGuyReviews.935]

Came for Brandon, stayed for Classic Firearms. I just want to say to all of the gun tubers, you are responsible for converting me to firearms. It started with FPSRussia, but I became more educated through Demo, Brandon, Garand Thumb and eventually joined the political and educational side with the likes of Armed Scholar, Active Self Protection and Honest Outlaw. Do not underestimate what you guys are doing with being Guntubers. You are influencing and educating an entire generation of new gun owners. I would not be who I am today without all of your influence.

[@xLeechcraftx]

Great cast, guys. I haven't had your specific struggles, but hearing about them helps me get through my own. The candidness is heartfelt and appreciated.

[@teabee44]

Just found the show by recommendation and love it. Plus I've always wondered who "CF Hey, It's Clint Did you know we are giving away an M200 Intervention Rifle? No Cost To Enter" Love the show and can't wait to see what else you have in store for the future.

[@erikjohnston2100]

This is my First Classic Firearms podcast. What a great one to start on.

[@parkerwilson6989]

What a chill episode. I can really appreciate that genuine real shit talk. So much better then trying to tip toe through a scripted podcast, with an uptight guest. I like this guy, not just because he's trying to create an AK50 either

[@squirlboy250]

Just want to say thank you for the content you guys put out. I've always liked firearms but the like turned to love after learning what I have about them from y'all. I didn't have a father/dad figure in my life to teach me and y'all filled in that gap, for that Thank you. 🕊🦅🗽🦅🕊

[@PaperSlayer93]

Plus, thank you guys and gals for your hard work to put out content for the rest of the 2A community!

[@jodylivengood4061]

You guys are real people with real problems. As far as celebrities go you're considerably more relatable than what the rest of the entertainment industry is. You're famous because you put in hard work on a subject that we all want to see.

[@PepperLewisAndCo]

Damn, Clint. THat took some stones to share. Hats off to your dad for taking that stance. I cant say for certain that I would have been that strong.

[@trevorasher3528]

I just want to THANK YOU, even the good days & Bad days you have. On my Bad day's I can open up a link and relate. Maybe smile or Laugh that's what you do, not just the Knowledge you lay out.

[@parkerwilson6989]

I'm really sorry to hear that Clint. I applaud your father. He had to be a hell of a man.

[@thomashyler6174]

I enjoyed watching ya'll. I'm 61 now, but I really appreciate the way all of you operate. Keep it up we need more people like ya'll in this country. Semper fi

[@kevintalbot9990]

To Brandon, I admit i felt little and was nerding out seeing you at a Ryan Bingham concert. Really didn't know what to say, but the fact you took time out of your evening to shake my hand and take a picture with me on my anniversary trip with my wife, made my our trip that much more special man. And for my wife to be like, who was that just felt like a punch in the tit. LMAO!!! But seriously, people like you make it a better world man. 7.62.....

[@Robert-up1yi]

This video is 2 hours long and it honestly could have been 3x that and I’d have listened to every second… it’s fun hearing these guys just shoot the shit and laugh with each other…

[@parkerwilson6989]

Really really liked this one, definitely a must watch. I can't imagine the stress KZbin is putting on you guys. That's a livelihood worth of work they're trying to flush away. For what it's worth though, you have my support

[@mitchellsnyder5782]

“That breaks the monotony of your day-to day life, right? But then when that becomes your day-to-day life, it becomes that monotony.” Wow, that really hit home.

[@darrinmcsorley7786]

This is a great podcast from three very solid and honest men. Wonderful exchange of life experiences and the ups and downs of celebrity. I very much appreciate the discussions and wish nothing but the best for all of you. Keep up the great work but never forget to take care of yourselves/each other.

[@edwardsummey8843]

I have listened to this podcast start to finish at least 3 times.

[@RichardCranium321]

Wasn't expecting this. Great video. Shout out to all the fathers...

[@762x69]

Loved how real this chat between friends got. Showing the human side many times here. It was a pleasure and I look forward to the aft bashing next time 😂

[@MrNiccholas]

There's a country song called "The Call" by Matt Kennon and it perfectly encapsulates what you said at the end about calling your friends. I feel incredibly honored to have been on both ends of that. I've had someone weighing on my mind and called them, but I'm so much more grateful for the call I received at a dark point in my life.

[@dogandhisboomer]

lets go brandon , and need to see AK50

[@michaelspears1395]

Classic Firearms and Brandon Herrera my two favorite Guntube channels. Awesome to see you guys in a little bit of a different setting!

[@BullittGT40]

Great interview with real moments. I had to take a breath and tell myself men don't cry telling the story of his dad and older brother. I'm guilty too of first world problem comments like when Brandon was worried about tearing the seats of his Raptor with his MG3 being like that's not a bad problem to have when he worked his balls off to get these things and who doesn't get pissed when they scuff their shit up. Non the less love you guys, thanks for what you do, and God Bless.

[@waynn_xap]

Been waiting since this was announced at SHOT for this to drop. Great show.

[@brianrosenberger6515]

Wow I have been a fan of Brandon for a couple years but this is most real I think I have ever heard him. This was literally a bunch of friends sitting around just drinking and talking/ Well done gentleman

[@ScarletTheRedtail]

There were a lot of things said that were relatable to me, I'm glad that I watched this video and even more glad that you guys took the time to do this for us. To Brandon, you are one of my all time favorite KZbinrs and to Clint, I've been watching for a while and I'm thankful that you have shared the information that you have. I've learned a lot from both of you and I look forward to learning more. Classic Firearms is where I began my Milsurp experience, I ordered my Mosin and since have built on my collection. I have always loved history, especially military history. Old ass bolt actions are my favorite. My father also got me into guns at a young age and was very strict about gun safety, which is burned into my brain to this day and I plan to pass down to my children eventually. I want to thank both of you and while I don't know of Ryan as well as you guys, I thank him as well. You guys are great and I hope you and your families are well. Keep up the great work. 😎😀

[@reese-techguitars8943]

That was a great late/early night/morning hangout. This structure was cool as hell, as if we (fans) were hanging out at the table. Very impersonal and informative. Hey guys... Quote of the day.... actually two. "How important is it really?" and "Who can I help today". Out of my head and into the solution.

[@andreigeorgescu872]

Honestly enjoyed Brandon haveing a sincere convo, with just the right amount of banter splashed in it👌👌

[@ScathArachAK]

Love the community and these podcasts are great. The goofy, real life talking is awesome. Would love to meet some of you some day because you are real down to earth and are honest about how hard it is still work the dream job.

[@1SickPuppy99]

As good as it gets, great stuff guys!!

[@Prodigy_ADED]

This is in fact the first episode I’ve heard of this podcast. Thanks to Brandon. 😂

[@meaganfaircloth7283]

Same! Definitely gonna be watching some of the others now.

[@driver12198]

Same

[@Thatdudebigttv]

I know no one will see this but . As some one who tryed to do KZbin very very small on my other channel . The having to make yourself "turn on "for the camera is so much more then people realize . Even if your being yourself it's so much harder then ppl realize . This podcast was fire not only for the gun content . But for the general creator content creator as well . Love everything all of you guys do please keep it up . Maybe one day I can join you guys 💪💪💪

[@jamesdriggers2011]

Such a humble mother lover! You gotta love Brandon!!

[@Scotty86doo]

Hell Yes Brandon Herrara, never seen this podcast before but gotta support my boi.

[@jeremyhere2002]

Gotta tell you Clint. It's cool AF to see what used to be Lcpl Morgan all growed up chatting with Brandon. Semper Fidelis.

[@mattv16031]

Loved this!! I seldom watch anything this long but I watched every minute of it!!

[@bobboydlawncare9746]

Awesome video. So cool to see you guys sitting around drinking and having a good time and shooting the shit. Was sorry to hear about your brother Clint. Your Dad must have been a hell of a man to use that as fuel to train proper firearm handling, and safety to others.

[@nickjohnson8780]

Can confirm, am a years long follower of both channels and this is the first podcast of yours I've listened to

[@viperscot1]

Hi guys This just popped up on my KZbin Clucking bell thank you loved this Subscribe straight away 😁😁😁😁😁😁 Bestest from Scotland 👋👋 Keep up with the excellent informative quality content 👏👏👏👏👍

First time watching this Podcast, it's going to become one of my regular listens!

[@CutandShoot5x5]

Enjoyed the podcast gents!!!!

[@corruptedo1]

Great podcast. A lot of good topics and perspectives being thrown around the table. Thank all of you for what you do!

[@SnackPack913]

Brandon is actually pretty funny off the cuff

[@patricktennant1585]

Not sure if it's your thing but he's often on the Unsubscribe podcast which is pretty much the same thing with a little more locker room language.

[@SnackPack913]

@@patricktennant1585 I really tried watching that podcast but it’s like 90% loud laughing, mostly by Baddie’s obnoxious laugh lol. I love all those guys but I just prefer a little more conversation personally. They seem like great company if I was there drinking as well but it just doesn’t transfer to listening material for me. Wish them all the best with it though!

[@parkerwilson6989]

Wow this shits deep. Social media and interactions. Now we're getting down to the good late night conversations. It's true though, I feel like I know Clint, but I've never met him

[@paullambert6938]

First thanks for all of you being so open and honest. Clint it is amazing your dad did the right thing after a tragidy and felt called to educate. Thank you for continuing that legacy here on this channel. Second my with causally watches the vedios with me and saw Clint and Ryan sitting next to eaxhother and asked if they were brothers. Kepp it up guys you make my day a little better watching.

[@RocotacoPerposterown]

What got me into guns was a combination of my dad and my friends dad honestly. Some of my fondest memories of when I was little were when we would sit on the river bank when the river would flood and we would shoot trash with BB guns. My friend's dad also reloaded ammo and when I was around 10 or so, he taught us how to reload which was really cool. Then took us out to shoot what we just reloaded.

[@tomgosy]

I think this is a side of Brandon I haven't seen before. Really interesting conversation between the three

[@TheKlamminator]

This was awesome, thanks for this. You guys have been so helpful for getting myself into firearms over the years.

[@jasonneucere8886]

Y'all are talking about some deep $hi! I would have never thought about that side of what y'all do. I have a better understanding of what it takes to do y'all job. Thanks guys This is the best podcast that y'all have doon yet. Keep up the good work. I know I appreciate watching these videos more now. Thank You Jason

[@jjayman1173]

This has got to be my favorite podcast episode of an podcast. You guys sound like me and my best friends of 13 years. I really needed to hear the "fathers" segment after losing mine to Stage 4 cancer two days after Christmas last year

[@gnlgrievous324]

Solidly eye-opening video. Awesome to see you guys all having a normal conversation or, for what can pass as normal for you. Love and hate podcasts because it does show an honest conversation but dammit if I don't want to be a part of that conversation. Never even thought about the Friend vs Stranger approach. Makes me rethink method of approach if the opportunity somehow presented itself. Anyway... Ryan, here's your haiku: Brandon Herrera After dark Podcast humor Sleep Deprivation.

There's something else a lot of people don't realize in the social media platform KZbin platform. That addiction is a big thing a lot of people turned alcohol drugs food whatever it may be to just get away from that spot light being on them and I think it needs to be talked about more

Have had respect for Brandon for a while now. To hear him talk about even pointing a nerf gun at a child would make his skin crawl he just gained more of my respect.

Enjoyed the podcast the banter and interaction between everyone. The stories were relatable to me and most people I associate with. But. Now my phone is almost dead. 2 hrs long? Dang!

[@adenkyramud5005]

Guys... That part about getting that message/phone call... I got tears in my eyes right now. I have received that phone call before. And I have lost people who didn't call... Two people I loved. Best friend and girlfriend... And I've been the one who needed to call and didn't. And this girl I had just talked to on Instagram a few times randomly messaged me just telling me to please not hurt myself. Without that message I wouldn't be here. So please people if you ever have a bad feeling that someone might be in a bad place please message them. Or call them. It doesn't take you anything and it might just be the thing that keeps them alive. God bless you all.

[@rdzone1]

Awesome video great discussion.
