Fuck yes, Eli. Having your boy on camera with you, as someone with two autistic boys, makes my heart smile. Fuck yes bro. Also, pretty sure Gary/nerdrotic did it sober.
I doubt you fellas will see this, but drinking along with yall is getting me through what is unquestionably the hardest time ive ever had in my 34 years on this rock. Im a single dad with 3 girls and when they go to bed, i hang out with Unsubscribe. Thanks for keeping my head up.
I rewatched this episode today and saw your comment. I’m not in your position at all but if I can quote Redgums song “long run”: It’ll be alright in the long run. Stay strong your daughter look up to you no matter what you think so be proud
Hey, idk if you'll see this, but I wanna say. I'm a 17 year old guy from Missouri who's struggling with his own mortality after a recent near death experience and almost losing my dad. Whenever my family goes to bed I stay up with unsub, since I don't really have any friends. Stay strong bro, we'll get through it!
Im a minute and 43 seconds in and in tears. The love Eli shows for his son is something i wish to emulate with my own daughter and son on the way. Thank you Eli for being an amazing dad and human being. Edit: corrected spelling errors.
Hearing the postal inspector conversation reminded me of traumatic experience with their TAC team. I was employed by a small oil and gas company for almost a year when the owner disappeared, along with millions of investor money. I hadn't been paid in three months so I briefly worked nights at a local Denny's. One day after work around 1pm, I was sleeping and woke to the sound of quiet knocking. At my front door was man and woman dressed in suits. They called me by my boss's name and asked me to step outside. I had no idea who they were so I just told them my actual name and told them I had no idea where he was. I abruptly closed the door because I was sleepy and irritated having to deal with whatever my former boss was involved with. Two days later around the same time of day, I wake up to someone pounding on my door. It definitely wasn't knocking and it sounded like someone was trying to break the door. I grabbed my pistol and shouted that I was armed. It was a bad part of town so it wasn't the first time I'd seen someone breaking in a house in broad daylight. The pounding stopped, so i peaked out the peephole and saw a full SWAT team outside. They began shouting orders for me to open the door and to keep my firearm visible but aimed down. I still had no idea who they were or what it was about, but I felt like I had no choice to comply. I opened the door and before I knew it I was on the ground and restrained. They identified themselves as postal inspectors and after clearing the house, the man and woman from two days ago entered. They once again called me by my boss's name and I just about lost it. They did a good job of calming me down enough to tell them where my wallet was and they were able to confirm my identity. TAC team left and I had a two hour conversation with the inspectors. Turns out my former boss was in deep crap. Mail fraud, tax fraud, and many other charges even including petty theft. He changed his mailing address to mine and that's why they came looking for him. They warned me that the IRS would come to visit too. Sure enough, two weeks later I learned that the IRS has a TAC team too. Fast forward two months, and my former boss's wife calls me to check on the oil company. She had no idea it had collapsed. I asked her where they moved to and she told me the address so I could forward mail to them. Only thing I forwarded was the address to the postal inspectors and IRS. Funnily enough, when you make enough money, jail time can be avoided on occasion. He was put on a payment plan and spent one week in jail. I am still furious that both agencies put me through all that and just slapped his wrist. I had to go testify at court 7 hours away from where I lived three times as well. Fun times.
Made my wife watch the first two minutes of the episode so she could understand why we bought all three autism shirts and now she wants to buy more. 😂👍
Bro just seeing Eli's happiness with his son genuinely made me, a grown ass man, watching TH-cam sat down from cleaning my fish tank and shed som tears, I fucking love this channel, the people on it and the messages you guys deliver. From the UK and I guarantee nearly everyone that watches you guys thank you.
Dude, the opening with your son made me tear up. He is amazing and it reminds me of talking to my son and trying to make him feel good about himself. My son is autistic and one day looked at me and said, "I am stupid becuase i'm not like other kids." It broke my heart and I have been trying to get him to understand that he is not stupid, and being different is perfectly fine.
Being different like this can mean you are the opposite of stupid buddy. Give him a big hug and tell him LT can't read a map. My boy remembers everywhere he's ever been . Not a big talker but has a memory like a steel trap
@@chiefslinginbeef3641 Mine doesn't talk much either, but at 9, they boy is a tech wizard. It doesn't matter what device it is, he will pick it up, and within seconds be navigating it like he has had it for a while.
I'm a 35 year old woman, not your typical demographic, but I love you guys so much!! And hearing the mantra you teach ryden, is almost identical to the one I teach my 9 year old son who has been diagnosed adhd/add. Love to see a loving caring father.
1:19:49 that clip the news shared that went viral of the shotgun shooting the watermelon was me! I was shooting my Mossberg 500 slug gun at a melon we filled with water to make it explode more. it always made me laugh that they showed me pumping the shell out after firing. 😂
Eli as some one with autistic little girl, who tells her im Smart, I'm Strong, I'm Brave, I'm Beautiful, I'm loved everyday. It hit home watching you with your son. Thank you.
Listening to you guys makes me feel like a kid again, when my Dad and a couple others would share the funniest & wildest stories from their military or construction/demolition or biker days & I hung on every word. He was in the Navy as a BT on the Kearsarge during Korea. I joined the Navy because of him, I wanted to have stories like he did. A few months ago I was able to show my Dad a couple shorts from both HabitualLinecrosser & The FatElectrician and he laughed his ass off (he liked Grandpa Buff a lot) . We lost him on April 3rd this year to cancer. I want to thank you guys for sharing your stories and humor with us, and for all the good youve done and still do for so many people.
As a father to an autistic daughter, seeing you and Raiden together like that really relates with me and my daughter. Feeling that strength of community is amazing. Truly. Thank you
My oldest son is “high functioning” almost normal but man those small quirks he has make my day everyday. The fact this boys teaches me so much about my self keeps me going.
My boy is supposedly in the middle but since I got him into therapy early on he's rocketing up to "normality". He doesn't speak well and has emotional control problems In certain situations. This fella remembers everything. Just can't speak well.
Thank you for allowing us to meet Raiden. Your family's journey mirrors my own, and we enjoy seeing the exposure and positivity that comes from a different outlook(especially from some cut throats/mouthy vets). Clarification: I'm not a Vet, but heavy respect...certainly to the 2x MOH recipient.😉
As a father of an autistic son thank you Eli. People don't realize my boy is gifted in ways we can't be. He has saved my life. If I was smart enough I would send you a picture or video
Seeing Habitual Line Crosser pop off about the "hypersonics" was the best part of this already awesome podcast! It's dudes just hanging out with Each other without a script, great media!
I love how when this whole thing got started, Matt was like "I hate coming on podcasts. I've only done like two. I never do them." And now he's been on Unsub how many times? And it's pretty much always a good time.
If you go on a podcast with bad hosts you're not going to enjoy them, much like us watching. The best hosts make it feel like you're talking to friends
Ho. Lee. Shit. The very first time I watch an episode (pile on later), I'm greeted by an amazing young man that automatically stole my heart. My son Carter is on the spectrum. I'm the only constant he's ever known in his life. He's my hero. God bless you and your family! Much love from the Arkansas Ozarks!
Awe!! My friend's daughter was diagnosed non-verbal autistic and she had a SHIT therapist/pediatrician and they never recommended sign language?!! Like wth?! They've been doing that forever because it helps so much usually. Well.. my sister is deaf, so I started to teach her and after 2 days she knew all the basic signs, every sign for foods that she liked, water, use the bathroom, too loud, hot, cold, sleepy, bed, bath, movie, colors, numbers, yes, no.. lots of others, but she just soaked it in. Her frustration overload stopped. She was so much happier! She even hugged me, and she didn't hug anyone. ❤ But it's like I told my friend, "she KNOWS what she wants, she just can't tell you! That would piss me off too!" But she'd been told that ASL wouldn't help her because she "wouldn't understand." I helped her find a better doctor, and 8 years later... she can speak and only has overload issues in big crowds or when she's really tired. She's the best kid, though! Just makes me so mad that she spent those couple years dealing with a doctor that didn't care enough to help the kid and get her an accurate diagnosis
The fact that Nick brought the family from New Zealand is awesome. I’ve been watching their channel for about a year, so it would be great to see them on the podcast or at the range
The thing that happened in Russia was an Orphan source. Kyle Hill has a video on the exact details but basically, the radioactive thing was a super long term battery for an important light on a remote outpost. It got lost in transit to the outpost and then the hunter guys found it. Terrible situation all around and it shows that we need to treat nuclear energy with respect and extreme caution.
Father of a full spectrum warrior, thanks Eli. Her super power is memorizing and reciting everything she sees or hears. Used to quote anime and wild kratts. Now, she quotes Fat Electrician videos in civics class.
Great opening to the video. Your son is awesome, Eli. My oldest is 23 and on the spectrum. Thank you for using your platform to support organizations who support our kids.
1:48 damn that message from Eli and Ryden was so touching makes me happy I ordered full metal spectrum and tism touch shirts yesterday I was diagnosed with autism at 34 and I’ve spent the past year learning a lot about myself…and the a-10 warthog
Ryden, love, when I found out I was autistic on my 40th birthday one of my friends welcomed me to the Club, and everyone I loved told me they loved me and my superpowers. They even taught me I had superpowers I didn't know I had! Math definitely isn't one of mine, but I'm glad it's one of yours. One of mine is animal information, and another is seeing patterns others miss. We're definitely different, and that's fantastic. Because if we humans were all the same we'd never learn anything new as a species. People like us just need different things to walk through this strange world we find ourselves in. Your daddy's right: you're smart, you're handsome, you're funny, you make people laugh, and you'll never give up ❤
Not gonna lie, you talk about your son all the time and seeing him come on made my eyes start to water. Too sweet and such a smart young man. Goddamn, who left these onions out.
Eli is always so humble and respectful, and he thanks us alot. I hope this message reaches the boys. Because it`s our time to say thanks. I am a Norwegian Viking at 41. I have lost my family , many years ago. I lowered my own mom down in the grave. I survived a brain stroke later due to stress and more. I wish i hadnt survived. Now at 41 years old, i have no friends. If the year was a good year, i might see one person. After that i will wait until next year to see if anyon shows up. The last 15 years i have spent every 365 days on my own. Eli have inspired me alot, alongside with the rest of the "crew" I keep the podcast running and pretend i hade real friends like you guys. Atleast by having this on in the background i can almost start to feel like a real human being. The friendship between the boys are a very rare and it seems to be just as strong as well. May you all find what your looking for on this Journey, i hope you all will find true Happiness . Forgive me for the long txt. I just wanted to say thank you to all of you.
The amount of inspiration I get from this podcast is insane. When I was going through rough patches you guys gave me the laughs to push through and even make me try my hand at creating a podcast to push the same kind of content and feeling to help more people in the same boat. Keep it up guys
DUDE ur An Amazing Father And I LOVE that U Brought Ur Son On This Video!!!! God Bless All Of You And Your Guests As Well As All Of The Families U Have!!! NEVER Gonna Stop Watching!
Great job. Do me a favor, if you ever get the chance, spread the word to others about your story. Maybe it'll keep one more person from getting addicted. Or you may be the inspiration for someone else who needs it to help them. Good luck and if you stumble keep getting back up
@user-gr7sq8lr2f thank you man that really helps me stay motivated. I'm 26 and have been taking pain pills since I was 16. I hid it for years but the harder you try to hide things eventually the truth comes out. My gf broke up with me in February and that was the reality check I needed to get healthier. I'd glady share my story to anyone who may need it. Most people recommended me not quiting cold turkey but I disagree and I'm really trying to push myself. As cliche as it sounds if I can do it after a decade of substance abuse then I believe others can too.
My wife former postal worker. Told me that the postal inspectors will pretty much set you up if the suspect theft even going as far as dropping a quarter in the lobby. And if you pick it up your fired
Phew. I'll be 40. I am waaay passed that military cutoff age (at least in today's military). TFE can talk my ear off but I'm too thick headed to nod and agree. Great to see Rydan at the start. We all know you're a great dad, Eli. This just really pushes it to the next level of 'World's Best Dad'.
My wife bought a shirt for me and some stickers. My oldest son has mid-range autism. He just turned 18 last month. We saw y'all in San Antonio and look forward to seeing y'all live again.
I live around the Macdill AFB, a B2 flew directly over my house one time. Not only was it surprisingly low, but I didn’t hear it until it was directly overhead and it made the craziest sound. Super sick experience
Eli and Matt are great dads! Inspiring and wholesome start to the podcast with Eli. And Matt protecting his family both in person and online. Much respect.
As someone who grew up with mental disabilities and got treated like garbage by my parents, it warms my heart, knowing that there's good ones out there.
Eli thank you so much for your dedication to being a businessman, a father, and an entertaining and awesome person. Happy to see you love ryden so much and to support him all the way 🙏
Eli, the “nuclear” thing you guys were talking about are Soviet Era, Beta-M Thermoelectric Generators. They were used to power remote lighthouses and radio communication stations. When the USSR collapsed, they were essentially “orphaned”, and locals break them open looking for scrap to use or sell, and they have zero idea what they are. The consequences you guys briefly spoke about. There’s lots of similar stories, and they typically don’t end well.
And the specific event happened in Lia, Georgia. It's scary that after the event, the IAEA launched a search throughout the country and found hundreds of other RTGs that were abandoned after the soviet collapse, and it's possible that there's more today.
Thanks Eli you got me crying bro that was the sweetest thing ever I feel like I got an emotional sucker punch right there I wasn't expecting that wholesome intro
Damnit Eli with that opening, I'm at work and almost started crying. I have a few issues and struggle with social ques and social skills, my daughter is a little over 2 and I'm terrified she'll be like me and have social issues that don't get helped until her late teens like me. Being able to see you in dad mode, even that little bit, and see how easily he's able to show himself and talk even though you've said before he's not interested speaks volumes of how great you are, and how much I hope I can be with her. Love the show, you guys always make me laugh and get through my day.
I’m still active duty and my son (almost 2 years old) is currently being tested cuz they believe he’s on the spectrum, this is seriously super inspiring and cool to see and I want to say thank you for what you do. I of course bought 2 shirts just to show my appreciation
Getting them into therapy as early as possible is great. Depending on your state be careful with ABA bc it's tied to CPS and they are staffed by liberal women. Had one who wrote an anonymous report about me for owning guns and having beer at my house.
Bro that opener with eli and his son brought tears to my eyes, so wholesome to see and such a heartwarming moment. Im buying a full metal spectrum shirt as soon as i get paid. Id be honored and proud to get a second shirt signed by his son
Eli Eli Eli..... Thank you for blessing us with that majestic intro. Ryden (I hope I got your name correct) you are incredibly smart and fast with your witts young man. I now truly see exactly why your dad speaks so highly of you.
Seeing you and your son together, your softness with him is heartwarming. You're a kick ass dad man, stay awesome 🤙 And oh my gosh Ryden! Your boys got some awesome powers, he's a smart cookie, Payday I'll be getting a T-shirt, Spectrum Gunship is awesome! love from the UK
As an Airmen deploying in Army billets, I had my first experience on a Army gun range and loved it. To see the target actually drop vs shooting a paper silhouette is so much better.
I love how absolutely genuine they are about loving their jobs and loving the fans that let them do their jobs. I’ve never felt so loved and not to even have been at the show. Have to go someday for sure.
My favorite part is already seeing his son with him. I love it
I gotta get me some allergy meds. Eyes are watering
@@MiaogisTeasyea you aren’t the only one that’s a good dad right there little jealous haha
Stupid onion ninjas
So awesome. He's a supercomputer. Got me blurry eyed.
Yes was great
Fuck yes, Eli. Having your boy on camera with you, as someone with two autistic boys, makes my heart smile. Fuck yes bro. Also, pretty sure Gary/nerdrotic did it sober.
Also, Lord of Lips said he doesn't drink
Don't forget wendigoon, since he doesn't drink at all.
Yeah, Gary is sober. He already had his run-in with substance abuse
And clearly y'all are missing the point....
Holy crap... who's cutting onions?!? Eli.... crushing it Sir!
I doubt you fellas will see this, but drinking along with yall is getting me through what is unquestionably the hardest time ive ever had in my 34 years on this rock. Im a single dad with 3 girls and when they go to bed, i hang out with Unsubscribe. Thanks for keeping my head up.

Me too had to have my son watch. Now he wants to play with his son.
Thanks for the mention Nic, let's do it! Machine guns!
That would be great!
Can't freaking wait!!!!
Merica!!!
This will be Epic!
Oh you guys gotta
That young man is surrounded by great people, and has an amazing father.

Dead Silence.
"brought to you by dead air silencers"
There was that boating accident…

he comes in sideways in the best way every time haha
i am a veteran. i am autistic. my daughter is non-verbal autistic. we LOVE the support you guys give to the people touched by tism!! keep it up!
Don't you start this podcast by forcing a tear in my eye from Eli being an awesome loving dad!
Good to see that young man flexing the brain power that we all knew was there. That's an awesome duo. Cheers pop
Same here man just listening as I drove to work and I had to pause and call my wife cause I was losing it
Couldn't of said it better

I'm glad to see that I wasn't the only one who had a sudden attack of the C.S. gas.

I love YourNewZealandFamily, Nick's content and donut operator's.
when they made their trip announcement video I recommended the guys I'm so glad this is happening
Poor Eli... having to compete with such a Handsome little man stay strong.
Yeah, poor Eli, sorry pal you never gonna measure up anymore.
The thing that happened in Russia was an Orphan source. Kyle Hill has a video on the exact details but basically, the radioactive thing was a super long term battery for an important light on a remote outpost. It got lost in transit to the outpost and then the hunter guys found it. Terrible situation all around and it shows that we need to treat nuclear energy with respect and extreme caution.
Radioactive isotope thermal reactor, similar to what was seen in the movie The Martian with Matt Damon..
Father of a full spectrum warrior, thanks Eli. Her super power is memorizing and reciting everything she sees or hears. Used to quote anime and wild kratts. Now, she quotes Fat Electrician videos in civics class.
Please tell me she quotes him word for word!
@SuperLane omg, I REALLY hope so!
would love to witness the day communism comes up in class 😆
Great opening to the video. Your son is awesome, Eli. My oldest is 23 and on the spectrum. Thank you for using your platform to support organizations who support our kids.
It's nice of Matt to come one and help out the smaller channels.
Hello Rydan. Thank you for being being you. Without you, we would not have such an amazing group of creators to watch.
Amen
Eli is dad goals.
Great job Eli. Love to see another dad who's proud of his family
2 mins in and Eli’s son saying he loves us has me in tears
1:48 damn that message from Eli and Ryden was so touching makes me happy I ordered full metal spectrum and tism touch shirts yesterday I was diagnosed with autism at 34 and I’ve spent the past year learning a lot about myself…and the a-10 warthog
A very fine machine of war 💪
I had no idea those went hand in hand lol!
@@Ragingroxes some people like trains I like things that go brrrt
@@Chef_GrrFaceI wish I could love a comment. Cause SAME!
@dayvvalker337 Train that goes brrrt?
Ryden, love, when I found out I was autistic on my 40th birthday one of my friends welcomed me to the Club, and everyone I loved told me they loved me and my superpowers. They even taught me I had superpowers I didn't know I had! Math definitely isn't one of mine, but I'm glad it's one of yours. One of mine is animal information, and another is seeing patterns others miss.
We're definitely different, and that's fantastic. Because if we humans were all the same we'd never learn anything new as a species. People like us just need different things to walk through this strange world we find ourselves in.
Your daddy's right: you're smart, you're handsome, you're funny, you make people laugh, and you'll never give up ❤
This podcast is the heart of America. Thank you all.
Not gonna lie, you talk about your son all the time and seeing him come on made my eyes start to water. Too sweet and such a smart young man. Goddamn, who left these onions out.
Love Eli says "show your superpowers" and is just SUCH an awesome dad.. like knew that from his stories but seeing it.
Eli is always so humble and respectful, and he thanks us alot. I hope this message reaches the boys. Because it`s our time to say thanks. I am a Norwegian Viking at 41. I have lost my family , many years ago. I lowered my own mom down in the grave. I survived a brain stroke later due to stress and more. I wish i hadnt survived.
Now at 41 years old, i have no friends. If the year was a good year, i might see one person. After that i will wait until next year to see if anyon shows up. The last 15 years
i have spent every 365 days on my own. Eli have inspired me alot, alongside with the rest of the "crew" I keep the podcast running and pretend i hade real friends like you guys. Atleast by having this on in the background i can almost start to feel like a real human being. The friendship between the boys are a very rare and it seems to be just as strong as well. May you all find what your looking for on this Journey, i hope you all will find true Happiness . Forgive me for the long txt. I just wanted to say thank you to all of you.
dude that intro with ur son man that hit hard in the feels for real. so proud of you as a father!!!!!
Eli you are a magnificent father.
As someone who works for one of those delivery services, we were told under no circumstances to deliver to mailboxes. Learn something new every day!
Seeing him be a dad is a treat i didnt know i needed today... he's such a great dad❤
ELI!!! Your kid is absolute coolest kid ever!!!
The amount of inspiration I get from this podcast is insane. When I was going through rough patches you guys gave me the laughs to push through and even make me try my hand at creating a podcast to push the same kind of content and feeling to help more people in the same boat. Keep it up guys
DUDE ur An Amazing Father And I LOVE that U Brought Ur Son On This Video!!!! God Bless All Of You And Your Guests As Well As All Of The Families U Have!!! NEVER Gonna Stop Watching!
Just over a month into quitting opiates cold turkey. Trying to better myself. These podcasts while running really helps the mind. Thank you Eli!
Congrats! Keep it up. It sounds like you're doing an awesome job.
Great job. Do me a favor, if you ever get the chance, spread the word to others about your story. Maybe it'll keep one more person from getting addicted. Or you may be the inspiration for someone else who needs it to help them. Good luck and if you stumble keep getting back up
You will never escape the taste and the urge you just move past it and focus on the future
@user-gr7sq8lr2f thank you man that really helps me stay motivated. I'm 26 and have been taking pain pills since I was 16. I hid it for years but the harder you try to hide things eventually the truth comes out. My gf broke up with me in February and that was the reality check I needed to get healthier. I'd glady share my story to anyone who may need it. Most people recommended me not quiting cold turkey but I disagree and I'm really trying to push myself. As cliche as it sounds if I can do it after a decade of substance abuse then I believe others can too.
Hell yeah man I'm about 8 months sober now, and I understand exactly what you mean about these videos helping your mind
My wife former postal worker. Told me that the postal inspectors will pretty much set you up if the suspect theft even going as far as dropping a quarter in the lobby. And if you pick it up your fired
Dude the first part with your son is really awesome! Savants literally have superpowers. Your son is awesome! Happy for yall
Having Habitual Line Crosser is a great reoccurring guest.
I agree. I hope one day they get grandpa buff on the podcast lol.
That intro broke my heart especially when Eli was going through those affirmations with his son. Love you guys and thanks for all the great content
Man, eli, the intro almost made me cry. It was beautiful man 🙏
Phew. I'll be 40. I am waaay passed that military cutoff age (at least in today's military). TFE can talk my ear off but I'm too thick headed to nod and agree. Great to see Rydan at the start. We all know you're a great dad, Eli. This just really pushes it to the next level of 'World's Best Dad'.
Nic is the type of person we need to teach history.
My wife bought a shirt for me and some stickers. My oldest son has mid-range autism. He just turned 18 last month. We saw y'all in San Antonio and look forward to seeing y'all live again.
I need some more habitual linecrosser on this podcast. Also I can see Eli showing through his son and it is awesome.
We need more of Eli’s dad side. That’s awesome, love this channel.
I love all the facts Nick is mentioning, the USPS stuff is some of my favorite niche info.
Eli, props to you on how you are as a father. The world needs more men like you.
Yup! I was that guy in the comments section proud Nick got you to quit the Army. Always great to see you, HLC!
I live around the Macdill AFB, a B2 flew directly over my house one time. Not only was it surprisingly low, but I didn’t hear it until it was directly overhead and it made the craziest sound. Super sick experience
Eli and Matt are great dads! Inspiring and wholesome start to the podcast with Eli. And Matt protecting his family both in person and online. Much respect.
This podcast has helped me through some low points in life I’m sure I’m not alone. Also that beginning section you can tell Eli is a great dad.
As someone who grew up with mental disabilities and got treated like garbage by my parents, it warms my heart, knowing that there's good ones out there.
Eli thank you so much for your dedication to being a businessman, a father, and an entertaining and awesome person. Happy to see you love ryden so much and to support him all the way 🙏
That's awesome seeing Eli and his boy thanking everyone that helps support the channel
During these crazy times, a sincere thank you for your show.
Love that New Zealand couple and their family videos!
Eli, the “nuclear” thing you guys were talking about are Soviet Era, Beta-M Thermoelectric Generators. They were used to power remote lighthouses and radio communication stations. When the USSR collapsed, they were essentially “orphaned”, and locals break them open looking for scrap to use or sell, and they have zero idea what they are. The consequences you guys briefly spoke about. There’s lots of similar stories, and they typically don’t end well.
And the specific event happened in Lia, Georgia. It's scary that after the event, the IAEA launched a search throughout the country and found hundreds of other RTGs that were abandoned after the soviet collapse, and it's possible that there's more today.
Kyle Hill does a great video on it.
I was about to comment this, but luckily read the comments first. RTGs is what they're called, I think... Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators.

Thanks Eli you got me crying bro that was the sweetest thing ever I feel like I got an emotional sucker punch right there I wasn't expecting that wholesome intro
That intro was absolutely amazing.
I love seeing Eli being the Amazing Father we all know he is. The affirmations was awesome. Youre a good Father Eli and good role model.
Those super powers are amazing! Best part of my day thus far! Thank you!
Damnit Eli with that opening, I'm at work and almost started crying. I have a few issues and struggle with social ques and social skills, my daughter is a little over 2 and I'm terrified she'll be like me and have social issues that don't get helped until her late teens like me. Being able to see you in dad mode, even that little bit, and see how easily he's able to show himself and talk even though you've said before he's not interested speaks volumes of how great you are, and how much I hope I can be with her. Love the show, you guys always make me laugh and get through my day.
I’m still active duty and my son (almost 2 years old) is currently being tested cuz they believe he’s on the spectrum, this is seriously super inspiring and cool to see and I want to say thank you for what you do. I of course bought 2 shirts just to show my appreciation
Getting them into therapy as early as possible is great. Depending on your state be careful with ABA bc it's tied to CPS and they are staffed by liberal women. Had one who wrote an anonymous report about me for owning guns and having beer at my house.
That into made me legit cry! I love seeing strong men Stand up for those that can’t necessarily stand up for themselves! Keep killin it guys!
Heck yeah! Nice and early to listen to the boooys! 🇿🇲 Also that intro with your son was so sweet. Those affirmations are wonderful
Seeing Eli and Ryden was so wholesome 🥺
Bro that opener with eli and his son brought tears to my eyes, so wholesome to see and such a heartwarming moment. Im buying a full metal spectrum shirt as soon as i get paid. Id be honored and proud to get a second shirt signed by his son
Eli Eli Eli.....
Thank you for blessing us with that majestic intro.
Ryden (I hope I got your name correct) you are incredibly smart and fast with your witts young man.
I now truly see exactly why your dad speaks so highly of you.
I love the intro!! You can see how proud Eli is ❤
Seeing you and your son together, your softness with him is heartwarming. You're a kick ass dad man, stay awesome 🤙
And oh my gosh Ryden! Your boys got some awesome powers, he's a smart cookie, Payday I'll be getting a T-shirt, Spectrum Gunship is awesome!
love from the UK
Also. Straight up. The special messages make my heart feel full.
As an Airmen deploying in Army billets, I had my first experience on a Army gun range and loved it. To see the target actually drop vs shooting a paper silhouette is so much better.
I love how absolutely genuine they are about loving their jobs and loving the fans that let them do their jobs. I’ve never felt so loved and not to even have been at the show. Have to go someday for sure.
Eli, you were in my unit when Joe got shot in the helmet 😂 I thought I recognized you.
To the top with you!
We need some UnSub artwork with Nick, Cody, and Brandon as Hobbits, and Eli as Gandalf the Brown weidling a shovel.
I could make that happen.
Doooooo iiiiiiiiittttttt
I’d buy that
