Fat Electrician Dropping History Bombs - TFP 29

[@Mr_SeaWolf]

I love The Fat Electrician, He's turned Unsubscribe into a history channel and I love it!

[@pewpewbbqs]

He's the reason I got turned onto the Unsub podcast

[@oliviavanbrink]

I found him through unsub, but he’s the reason I’ve watched it for this long

[@adamcalebchloe8760]

​@@pewpewbbqs Same

[@adamcalebchloe8760]

​@@oliviavanbrinkneed to check out the fat electrician(I'm sure you have now), also, the fat files

[@BATLRATL1776]

Glad to see Nic doing so well after the accident. 🙏🏻Barely two weeks later and he almost seems like it never even happened.. What a fighter.

[@joey1071]

a true inspiration to all

[@brandon01776]

I guess He just took it like a champ 🏆

[@anthonyL1776]

Accident?

[@Lvl1Nothing]

What feking accident lol I keep hearing about it but have zero information…. Fuck it there wasn’t an accident…it never happened unless there is proof

[@gjmhudler]

They say he'll never be the same 😢

[@coleeto2]

1:02:57 “Great Britain would be proud” what an underrated just absolutely hilarious line

[@KingLuluzk]

We need that collaboration with unsubscribe... That would be epic.... Call it mischievous miscreants 😅😅

[@JayDubb3BCT]

It's great to see Nic doing the podcast rounds after his accident! Bounced back stronk!

[@theseekerofancienttruth3873]

What happened to TFE? I don't follow his personal stuff very much, mostly his History Channel.

[@ParanormalNODS]

TFE is such an inspiration to act like that tragic accident hasn’t affected his speech.

[@theodoremoyer6738]

Great to see Nic recovered from the accident so fast. Leave it to Doc to get well in a hurry 😉.

[@declankearns6129]

OMG! Winters Tears! what a whiskey. 48:39 That truck was on a straight road when he tries it, and it is said the throttle stuck so all the found was skid marks on the road where he tried to break till he hit a bump in the road. He wasn't found till some guys were out rock climbing and found a truck embedded in a rock face according to urban legend.

[@EvelyntMild]

Down Periscope joke to kick it off?! Ok, I'm in. 😂

[@sambumgardner3480]

PSA: Thermobaric grenades, T Bombs, work on the principle of overpressure. Think overfilling a basketball with air until it pops. Same thing except the basketball is a house. The same overpressure that has now leveled your house has also imploded the sinus cavities of anyone dumb enough to have been in the room killing them almost instantly. And remember kids when the pin is pulled Mr. Grenade is no longer your friend.

[@Winterborn5]

Heh. The Mr grenade thing reminds of a book series I read. Kildar, by John Ringo.

[@captwrecked]

Ref the IAF F-15, it was a midair in training. The escaping fuel vapour shrouded the damage until he landed. In addition to the Thrust to Weight ratio, even if you remove the wings, it's still a lifting body. with enough forward momentum it'll fly, but without aileron control... Incredible machine. The pilot said if he'd known how bad it was, he'd have punched out.

[@MadZell]

Our local air museum here in Reading Pa has one of the planes that took part in the Berlin Airlift I have been lucky enough to touch that piece of history

[@racecarbed]

Holy Frick! Glad to see him doing well after his accident. Speaking of accidents, I'm paying attention to typing this and not the road.

[@hessex1899]

Every time I see Nick on a podcast it's the best podcast. Stay healthy, Nick, and be careful. You are going places and, more importantly, you bring a lot of good to the table.

[@kevinpritchard3592]

S.T.E.A.L The new military branch...awesomeness lol 😂

[@robertross5201]

There was actually a guy in the USN who was involuntarily extended because he couldn’t fit through the enlisted personnel embarkation/debarkation hatch

[@MJcaboose12]

U Boat 505 resides at the Museum of Science and Industry. If you get the chance go it's an awesome experience

[@mybloodbeforehers]

“ stealing other people shit and putting it in museums. Britain would be so proud of us. “ Best line ever!

[@AhHereWeGo]

Best part about Navajo code talkers Their museum is inside a Burger King in Kayenta Arizona on the Navajo reservation

[@johnhamlin9777]

As a Submarine qualified individual. Caleb would definitely be allowed and welcome on every US Submarine. We had a guy named Rothschild who was huge. Played for the navy football team. Guy was about Caleb’s size, if not bigger. And his humor would fit in so well

[@sethdunlap9868]

*Caleb - "Sir, how am I supposed to get 9" narrower?" *Sgt. - "don't worry about it... by the way, are you left or right handed?"

[@wazittuyoo2147]

Why you being up gay shit?

[@Frntrgrpblake]

Nick took a picture with me at shot show this year and he was super cool. 🤙 great to meet you dude.

[@cooltraineraaron4618]

Fat Electrician: *Talking about Thermobaric Grenades, and the way they work* JT: "Have you heard of carpet bombs?"

[@DrunkActual]

Are you sure you’re an electrician Nic? Seems like you’re a full time podcast guest. Glad you’re doing well and I appreciate the history.

[@generalilbis]

If Nic can have half the success as Matt (who remains a licensed veterinarian but only practices enough to maintain his license die to his YT channel and Bunker Branding), I think his days as an industrial electrician will soon be at an end...especially since he's going back to school for a History master's degree so he can write better History textbooks that teach US history in the way he does his video topics 😊

[@Neon-Covenanter]

Ex-electrician.

[@BayouBoy2443]

I mean just because he doesn’t do it for a job anymore doesn’t necessarily mean he’s lost the skill lol

[@shinigamiking69]

42:49 kinda like the marines going metal gear solid and using cardboard boxes to disrupt darpa robots

[@djturnz]

Now we need an elaborate heist movie for the S.T.E.A.L. branch, "Oceans Section 8"

[@Dynasty1k]

That rocket thing about the F15 is true. I was stationed at Whidbey Island in Washington State and there were two F15’s that landed I guess to refuel and replenish and both were on the runway, took off and as soon as the landing gear left the runway, they were both vertical and gone a few seconds later. It was fuckin awesome to witness.

[@sanddragracer]

On the welding a Jato engine to a truck story, mythbusters actually tested that myth lol 😂

[@Tinguspingus603]

Time for Pie! You guys brighten up every Tuesday morning got a lot of loss going on right now but you guys making me laugh my commute off really helps! Just wanted to say FRICKIN THANK YOU

[@WinStoNs_Mith]

I was in W Berlin and crossed over through Checkpoint Charlie when I was 16. Impacted my life

[@watchthe1369]

MCAS EL Toro California, the Trabuco Corner. At least 5 motorcyclists over 15 years tried to french fry themselves trying to make that turn after a 1 mile straightaway. Some of them left 150mph skids and ended up as fence sushi.

[@kevinpritchard3592]

Best history teacher ever lol😂

[@SizeMatters_]

I appreciate y’all for the kinds words and it was a pleasure getting meet you all this last weekend! You all are a great group of boys! -Jwolfe

[@Xsiondu]

I hear you are a pleasant guy. Glad the roller coaster didn't knock your block off.

[@Arcturuseyes]

A cheap trick I found to get rid of flies, get a sugary drink in a plastic cup with a straw, drink about 3/4 of the soda or whatever, set the cup in a high fly area, pull the straw out of the drink about halfway on a diagonal angle, the flies crawl down the straw to get the sugar water, they either fall in the liquid or are trapped in the cup

[@taylorsims7080]

Nick looks so lively, considering how not so long ago the accident was. Good to see.❤

[@treag91]

Just watched the Air Force video. It says "but the entire sky, belongs to us". "The air is 100% ours" is way better. Mr. Electrician, you need to get someone to change it!

[@bishophawk5523]

We have a nice relationship with certain people that believe in honor and defeat. Things that people don't even believe in anymore

[@EchelonBlueAlt]

all their talk about the mascot at six flags... "I got kicked out of Disney World." "gosh, what for?" "I used a baseball bat to kill a giant mouse."

[@chasecarter8848]

About fixing up that Hummer: That hummer stalled in the kill zone of a well laid ambush and spent about 30 seconds exposed to the fire of at least 2 M2 Brownings, an MG42, a couple of M60s, a platoons worth of assault rifles of every description, and not a few submachine guns. There is marginal, there is beyond economic repair, there is no ducking way, then there is that hummer. It's worth more than a normal hummer in scrap though...because it has been infused with several hundred lbs of lead. This vehicle is defunct, defeated, deceased...it is no more!

[@JerryJ26]

I was a F-15 crew chief in the late 1970s and got to go on a 5 day cross country flight in the back seat of a F-15B, I tell people that it was the most fun I've had with my clothes on. Picture available upon request. The cluster munition you mentioned was the mine laying one. There's also an "anti-personnel" version that deploys smallers softball sized submunitions that have different fuzing. Some explode on impact, some at a preset altitude, some explode after laying around for a preset amount of time. And my favorite are the ones that have a proximity fuse that explode when someone approaches it. They're all filled with tiny flechettes and during the gulf war the iraqi soldiers referred to them as "Steel Rain".

[@senditc20]

Best morning ever the fat electrician on Time for pie just in time for my morning dump

[@TimeForPie]

better be jumping

[@dawhandaonli5925]

Theft Troopers might be the most amazing idea ever

[@carlwitt3934]

48:45 This story goes back even further than the 90's... I first read about it in the "Dumb Crook Lineup" section of Guns and Ammo in the mid 80s. The vehicle was first spotted by a police plane (the area is so vast they patrol by airplane) and thought to have been airplane wreckage. A JATO (Jet Assisted Take Off) is like a solid rocket booster... there is no off switch. Once it's lit, you're just along for the ride until it burns through it's fuel. He misjudged the length of the straightaway and when he reached a bend in the road, the car just kept going straight... right into a sheer rock face.

[@markroper9269]

Great to see TFE up and about!! Movie sounds awesome! Das boat meets operation petticoat.

[@OfficerGranite]

Southern Museum of Flight in Birmingham, Al is the home of that Hind. I see it all the time lol

[@Spicoli1Bilek]

I have to correct Nick when it comes to the samurai sword. They used to test a samurai sword by chopping through condemned prisoners from the sholder to the hip. However many prisoners it would slice through before it had to be re sharpened was how good the quality of the blade was. The discovery channel and history channel covered this back in the nineties extensively.

[@LanceCorporal_Waffles]

ROTUND ELECTRONIC MAN! DUCK YEAH! 34:02 Ninjin means Carrot in Japanese. Lol

[@caye8tman]

Frick ya! New Time for Pie and a Full throttle to start the day off right!

What the HELL??!?!?! Nick didn't ask for any PIE!! It's been awhile since any guest has asked for PIE. 🤣🤣

[@jessebell1930]

Only a couple of minutes in and have subscribed. Having The Fat Electrician on will definitely skyrocket your views and subscribers guys👊

[@JtArticle15]

I always love Nick these episodes are so fun!

[@robertmaxwell1016]

1:00:00 The E-4 mafia was already doing that type of shit on our own bases lol.

[@quxyz25]

59:58 There was a group that was established to test the security of naval bases called red cell. It was discontinued though. I don't remember the years off the top of my head.

[@FatalError976]

The physical USB he is talking about is something like a Yubikey. Great way to add an additional layer for MFA. Also, use a password manager that can generate random passwords, so every account you own has a different password.

[@XizorSizhran]

In the 1950s, we got our hands on a Soviet MiG aircraft. That aircraft is the reason the Red Flag exercise and the Aggressor squadrons exist.

[@WeTheJeeples]

Mythbusters did several shows on the booster rocket story.

[@MakingandBreaking]

Samurai had Kiri-sute gomen, which was essentially the right to strike (kill) and walk away. This was particularly applicable to the lower class, or in defense of their honor.

[@ofpmarine]

Looking forward to Caleb’s next Halloween costume as the Sub Chef 😂

[@BigPapaSamuel]

Glad to see Nic doing good and back on the show this is gonna be frickin good.

[@Captain_Caveman]

Nothing better than some Americans getting together lmfao

One of the most gangster submarines was the USS Barb. The only submarine that sank a train

[@eagletalon6240]

What are the odds on contagious laughter and or mild nausea today (im looking at you Jared)...also can I get a Frick Yeah

[@reanukeevesau]

Frick Yeah!

[@Mr_SeaWolf]

That "some ridiculously long password" is probably just "Fat!"

[@brandon01776]

Nice to see Nic doing well after his accident certainly looking like he may make a full recovery

[@prjndigo]

Warthog Defense got nailed for "impersonating" just recently. I think KZbin needs a real employee.

[@leecarlson9713]

So much of this content went over my head. The only one I recognized was Nic. I am an 80 yo woman, living in southmost Texas, but it was funny, when I did catch something. Thanks for the entertainment, guys. EDIT: y’all were taking about space force-I live 15 miles away from SpaceX. Could y’all find someone to S.T.E.A.L. it? Please?

[@willbloodworth2992]

Frick yeah this is gonna be a good one!

[@xavierharvey129]

i love it when nic is on here

[@corynox]

When can we expect some stickers to drop on the TFP website? Looking forward to slapping a Jacky sticker on the back of my truck! Thanks for all the awesome content guys!

[@cegda5886]

Katanas used to be tested on criminals. They might be graded by "pig" today, but it would have been human in the past.

[@kermitthefrog2578]

Or is pig code name for criminals 👀🤌

[@scp2539]

15:42 when a fly is rubbing its back legs its pushing shet off of them onto w/e its landed on. also, "cant be real because its not cost effective" we're talking about the us military, when have they ever prioatized cost effectiveness?

[@appo9357]

32:17 Karate? The Dane Cook of martial arts?

[@BombproofCraftsman]

Obese electrons! Buhh. What a great guest!

[@JimAirborne25]

40:36 They rounded them all up and put them in concentration camps. “We killed them off. Guess that was a mistake.” 42:51 Nick loves this! It’s booping the nose in battle.

[@jesseredfield8194]

Nick - i need a whole video on that damn grenade class. Lmao its inventor. And where its been used. Pretty please w a mt dew on top

[@panzerjagertigerporsche]

15:05 the fly rant begins, I hate flies, I'll just be sitting at my desk gaming and out of nowhere this pea-sized fly will start flying into me and start attacking me, pisses me off

[@richarddangles69]

If those boys from How Ridiculous were veterans w TBIs like these gentlemen we would know the answer to that chain link fence question..😮

The new company of tactical "acquisitions" lol

[@petrmalecek8317]

While admittedly a bit ( or a lot ) drunk in Japan one of my police course fellow students told me that the reason there were so many police boxes in Japanese cities back in the day was because during the late 1800s and early 1900s some dudes still had swords and would draw at the smallest slight. We were several beers in so I may not have remembered it correctly; but it sounded cool.

[@epsome13]

Which the delta force trained to be pilots. Take a platoon of e4s train them that way then point them and say take it

I have been on the U-505, its very authentic. smells like battery acid, grease and sweat.

[@PolarisRider06]

28:17 antique samurai swords were tested on live criminals, they stacked live criminals and marked the blades with the number of bodies... newer swords are tested on pigs because i guess its inhumane to the third criminal if its a 2½ body sword

[@commentingisdangerous7530]

where are the roller coasters in idaho, i lived here my whole life and never seen or heard of one....
