@@TheReedMorinShow Uh, that’d be no. But I am almost 60! In my youth, I think I could’ve done ranger, maybe green beret. Not Delta. Not Seal. But after my four years as a tanker, I was more interested in chasing young ladies at UT! I wish now I had stayed.
Mentally.. I have NO doubt.. Physically, no chance at 52, and not sure actually without prepping ahead of time.. No doubt selection is far harder than buds....
I was an instructor to two Delta Operators who had been given a commission, and were put on the officer track. They were both in their early 30s. ( I tought at Fort Huachuca.) I was amazed at how athletic they were. To me, they seemed like professional athletes as much as military guys. They could smoke the obstacle course or shooting or whatever. And they were great at football and basketball. I played a lot of basketball with the class cause it's more fun than regular PT. I could try as hard as possible, and I would never have their level of coordination.
@@tomwalker389 A lot of them go warrant also. I can only speak for Army Intelligence - most all our warrants made E-6 / Staff Sergeant . I think the guys I was thinking about are so outgoing that officer made more sense. One guy is a Major now. The other retired.
and the moment they don't need you anymore or they see you as a problem... you disappear. And worst of all, entities make 10x more money than you from a nice AC room and could not pass a PT test to save the lives of their own children.
As a coach. I push my students. At age 11-13 I was pushed hard during American football. Us army Basic train training was a breeze. Literally. Only sleeping outside 16 below fleeting was a shocker. lol. I made it!! Learned to stay warm.
You have to be willing to suffer, and suffer, and die to be up there. In other words, you need to be a very specific kind of person, which includes traits such as being a masochist and a psychopath, but the good kind of psychopath not the bad kind. That's what it comes down to, being the kind of person who lives and breathes the fight.
Bro all this esoteric shit. I agree with you but did you not hear what this man just said? 😂 18 miles in 2:53. That alone is a .01% qualification that would take you 3-4 years, some gear, and some EPO and you MIGHT get that fast. Insanity
Guys like this definitely have uncommon genetics for physical recovery. For lots of us, when you push yourself to your absolute limit but then just keep mentally forcing yourself to keep going, you end up injuring yourself so bad that you spend the next year with an F'd back and struggling to climb a flight of stairs. For many, those injuries never heal.
Its all about the individual. Everyone is different. Some people love the water and can get through it. When others its a nightmare to be in the water but can handle getting the shit beat out of them. Its all on the individual on whats harder or not
With all due respect, Dale is comparing apples with oranges. BUDS is an entry level selection to become a SEAL. One has to do at least 5 combat deployments and has to be considered worthy to be allowed to screen for Seal Team 6 (Delta equivalent). Only the best of regular SEAL's are chosen and very few completes it. Candidates have to go through grueling selection called Green Team, which is as difficult as Delta selection.
Buds is still physically harder than delta selection and green team. Once you get to tier one, it's more about skill! Dale would never have made it through BUDS. But Seals can make it through other spec ops selection
Seals are invited to screen for green team it's a good ol boy system it has nothing to do with talent you make it through on skill. Delta selection is based off skill and talent because you have to be able to survive "selection" which is about a month long before you get into OTC. Delta is a performance oriented group the seals use the good ol boy system to screen that's a huge difference. Delta standards are much higher than seals how do I know? Research Kevin Holland a ST6 guy who went to CAG he says delta is way better....
@ericolmos7816 You are wrong. Go old boy system is vouching for the chance to screen. First part of training is literally testing CQB skills and it's like that for 6 months straight!
When I lived in Moore County, NC, the word around Fort Bragg was that Delta selection was not about finding the best candidate; it was about finding the RIGHT candidate. The right candidate can work autonomously and work well as part of a team. The best Delta operator is an Alpha/Sigma hybrid.
It was about finding the RIGHT candidate? I was at Bragg and you didn't hear this around Bragg. You got this phrase from TH-cam, I have heard it many time from many people claiming it as their own saying.
@@paratrooperlane7022 I’m at Fort Carson 10th group is out here I interact with them regularly they never say any corny shit like “you need to be an alpha sigma to pass selection” 😭
This guy ran 18 miles through wooded mountains with no trails in boots with a rifle a 40 pound sack after doing a fitness test in less than 3 hours??!!?..... HOW. I need to shave my head now.
Yeah I pulled out the calculator when I heard that.. 9:40 miles.. he didn’t say if it was woods or not but I’m assuming it was a trail he was familiar with.. absolutely insane. I just time myself for fun going through a nature preserve and I do 3.2ish in around 46 minutes power walking the uphills running the downhills in tennis shoes. 18 miles with a ruck in under 3 hours is a god damn horse.
It was originally based on SAS training. 50 years ago. The only people that know what selection entails are the people who have gone through it. There's a reason for that. Brits will tell you that Delta surpassed them long ago. Delta has a way bigger pool to select from, and a budget that would make a lot of smaller countries green with envy. More people make it to the NFL than make it to Delta - a lot more.
Okay, dumbest thing I've read today. I went to six guys who ended up as Rangers, I don't even know anyone who attempted to go through BUDS even though I know probably more people who went into the Navy as the Army.
BUD/S is both a selection and training program, so while physically it is unquestionably very tough, the training aspect to it, the fact there are tv series and books that describe every part of it, what event you will be faced with, what the standards have to be, and more "personable" interactions can make it all more psychologically bearable, . The selection for Delta that Dale is describing, is used by others, and having been to a selection for a unit (in another country) that follows that same model, there is no "personal" interaction (you are just a number), the cadre acting like robots, directions coming from a white board, not knowing what events are coming up in advance, what the passing standards are etc., can very much be a mind fuck for soo many people, given that this is complete antithesis to how the military generally operates.
@@QuanPookie Where did I say I was an expert? BUD/S it's literally called BUD/S TRAINING/COURSE by everyone, it has CLASS NUMBERS, 2nd phase candidates are TAUGHT how to be combat divers, 3rd phase candidates are TAUGHT basic light infantry skills. Also as I said (I dunno maybe you can't read without pictures and crayons), every single aspect of it has been documented in a TV show on discovery (which is also on youtube) and several books. Also I have been on selection process very very similar to what Dale described, that's how I know that part.
@@edwardlenovo3240 Because I’m an expert and I can fight. I’m an alpha male who can lift lots of weight so that makes me alpha and really cool. All of the girls want me.
If you are en expert then you wouldn't compare DELTA selection to BUDS. You compare DELTA to GREEN Team selection for ST6. BUDS is like the boot camp for SEALS for TIER 2. They don't get their Trident after BUDS. They still got to pass SQT which is harder and that's for Tier 2. For Tier 1, it's Green Team Selection which is way harder than BUDS/SQT combine. The difference between the Army and Navy is that the SEALS TIER 1 and TIER 2 are all 1 community. Like having a high school and college in 1 community. In the Army, Rangers, SF and DELTA are all 3 different communities and you don't have to be a Ranger or SF to be in Delta Selection.
was pretty burned out after my last deployment. wish I'd reupped for 4 and tried SFAS. I think i could have done well in group, but reenlistment nco wouldn't let me do less than a 6 year hitch and I said no. hindsight is a mofo
All top tier operators are top notch. Thing is a pill size piece of metal flying at 2400 fps can end it all. No one is infallable. I like to see when they try to outmatch each other and swat team members come out on top in competitions 😂. Each individual operator has strengths and weaknesses
I don’t disagree with you but there is an insane skill differential that determines outcomes. These guys hit rooms in full body armor, there’s a .4 second of first contact when they enter that they are the fastest and best shooters in the world and they’re going to headshot you before you headshot them.
Back in the late 80’s they came around my combat unit looking for enlisted volunteers for Delta. They told us what we would need to do to qualify. I asked “what happens if you don’t make it”? Oh, well you’ll be assigned a new MOS based on “need”. Uh, no thanks.
@ It’s true. It might be your current MOS if you are already in, but didn’t have to be. Even still today, if you go straight in on an 18X program, if you don’t make it the Army reassigns you for the term you committed to as “needed” in an MOS.
With Buds, they want everyone to make it who wants to make it. You have to quit on your own. But like Basic, they want the maximum number possible to succeed. Frankly, they need the numbers because attrition is high from medical doscharges and retention is low. So they don't have the luxury of only picking and choosing one and two here and there. Delta is different because their operations tempo is low, more training less operations, their casualty rate is lower because their mission set is different. But they're also more difficult missions. It's a very specific thing they do. They're also not kids with zero experience like BUD/S
You don't compare Delta to Buds but to Green Team. BUDS is the 1st phase in the SEAL Community. Before a person gives an opinion, they should get educated.
One of my regrets is not trying, I got the call and the packet to try out for CAG when I was active. When the packet came and I read the waiver I had to sign and said nope; lol Shoulda gave it a shot. Still been down range SF isnt in the cards for everyone.
@@Brickswol People are skeptical because SOCOM as a whole includes roughly 70,000 personnel-active duty, reserves, national guards, and civilian Personnel combined-making up just 0.00088% of the global population. Narrow that down to Army Special Operations, and even further to the rare individuals who qualify to try out for Delta, and the odds become astronomical. Statistically, you're more likely to be hit by an asteroid or become a billionaire than to randomly encounter someone in SOCOM in an internet comment section.
How long is the US Constitutional exam you are required to take prior to swearing an oath or affirmation to defend the US Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic.
What is Delta, because I’m hearing conflicting things. Some say it’s simply a hostage rescue/ anti-terrorist group. Others say that Delta are superhuman light infantry. So what’s the truth?
More the former than the latter. They are typically selected out from infantry, so they so have that skill set. Their main focus is direct action missions, meaning go in, kill someone or blow up something specific, get some piece of intelligence, etc, maybe rescue someone by killing everyone between entry and exit. But they don't hold anything, they don't stick around they don't call in airstrikes, etc. Those are all other units.
He does that lop sided comparison all the time. Bud/s should compare to SFAS. Unit selection should compare to “Green Team” (ST6/DevGru Selection). Which as far as I know is a individual effort like Unit selection.
I consider it ignorant someone with no training and prior knowledge to compare the two teams and say one's knowledge is ignorant this dude is actually been through it and has the knowledge and experience while you as someone online absolutely does not you have no position no right no experience no knowledge to actually say that they're ignorant compared to your opinion so really you have no ground to stand on here and yourself make you look ignorant with your statement
18 miles in 2 hours?? He's full on running at 9mph with 60lbs of gear in jungle boots? Suggests he would be able to set world marathon record, in the Olympics and be the fastest long distance runner that ever lived?
The folks that make it understand their why. If you are going through the training for bragging rights you won’t make it. I have known many guys that were athletic but failed the mental aspects of delta. Some have finished but failed the final interview. David Goggins tried twice and failed twice. He was checking the block versus really wanting to be selected. Not taking anything from the man, he eludes to that in his book. I did 23 years in significant units in the Army and it’s a combination of things not just physical ability. You must know your why for doing it.
Enlisting probably won’t do them any good. I doubt this guy in the video, let alone their drill instructors, have the arm strength to pluck their heads out their asses.
I will preface my statement with, Delta Force is the best Tier 1 unit on earth. That said, comparing BUDS to delta selection is like comparing the course work of an associates degree to a Doctorate. A better comparison would have been DEVGRU's green team selection to Delta's selection. BUDS is the Navy's equivalent the Amy's regular SF selection.
Delta selection is based on British SAS selection which is the hardest in the world! Col Charles Beckwith designed Delta based on the SAS which in his professional opinion was the hardest selection on earth and still is.
out of what number? They have their selection twice a year. So 1% is set in stone??? this guy is full of it and you don't compare Delta selection to BUDS but Green Team. You don't even get your Trident after BUDS but SQT. For TIER 1 for the SEALS is Green Team for DEVGRU,........It's like a clueless ST6 comparing DEVGRU to SF selection to pad themselves on the back. It's ignorant. This guy gets an F on information.
you are confused. You're group of friends are confusing you. Part of my life was woven into a James Bond character played by Daniel Craig. A navy vet and his family were running a scam on me along with a guy named Daryl Coleman. You've somehow been roped into this situation. Not sure why... I often have terrorist networks trying to get me into wars with people I don't even know. Brad Pitt explained a few of the situations in the movie Bullet Train. That kind of thing started when I was 5 years old and I really don't know why... the people in my life are lying to me about it.
I was nowhere NEAR Delta. I was in a special operations unit. One thing that really sticks in my mind all these years in the midst of guys puking and falling out was one instructor said "I dont neccessarily need the biggest, the strongest, or the fastest. I need the m'er f'er who absolutely will never quit. Even if it kills him."
If you hate doing it, there's no easy job. If you love it, there's no hard job. The toughest guy in the world has the best attitude. Audie Murphy was a sharecropper from Texas, until he wasn't. If you do your job, you're tits with me.
You don't really need to have experienced it to understand that this selection is far more legit than BUD/S unless you are a hollywood dreamer.... SEALs do everything in teams until one might make int. devgru.. (New word for anyone??). Then you have "beans" from other countries.. Everything this man said is right.. Especially about the mirroring part = moral support in BUDS... Delta is by far a higher intelligence (generally) group of operators AND advisors.. Great video.. And, I am in no way anti-Navy... Facts are facts...
You don't compare Delta selection to BUDS but to Green Team. This idiot is talking b.s. , he takes too much steroids. If a Delta operator compares their training to BUDS to pad themselves on the back then they have ZERO credibility. You are not even a Tier 2 SEAL after BUDS, No Trident after BUDS. They still have SQT which is the real training for Tier 2 and then you get your Trident. For Tier 1 is Green Team and that;s way harder than BUDS and SQT combine. Facts are facts.....
It’s not a team it’s a club and member pick who gets in so no thanks 🙂↔️ I’m tired of the fact we pretend like we don’t know what these gangs are like I did serve and I did see guy go and all the sudden they think they are above everyone in the game or military bc it’s all a game you play for the most of 30 years after that the game is over If is wasn’t a game why are all the prior service member still not fighting a war? It took me years to come to this conclusion but it’s a fact if your a warrior all you know is war why are you in America? Go fight the wars of the world. Bc you didn’t do for war you did it for money status material items, which is why we end up so messed up bc you have to make your self a killer just to pretend to be a regular person after. And I’m tired of guys acting like you come back a regular person you don’t period…
3 SEAL's watched this video and survived. So they each wrote a book about how bad ass they were to survive watching this video. And of course... All 3 books told far different details of their struggle to survive watching this video, especially on the details of when they called the Rangers to save their asses -- as usual.

Invited from a ranger regiment?
Yeah sure you did bud 😂😂
@@arighteousname5882 Why is it hard for you to believe that some people do things with their lives?
@@arighteousname5882 I’m sure he did, pretty much everyone gets the email when you hit a certain TIS/rank.
@@Brickswol People are skeptical because SOCOM as a whole includes roughly 70,000 personnel-active duty, reserves, national guards, and civilian Personnel combined-making up just 0.00088% of the global population. Narrow that down to Army Special Operations, and even further to the rare individuals who qualify to try out for Delta, and the odds become astronomical. Statistically, you're more likely to be hit by an asteroid or become a billionaire than to randomly encounter someone in SOCOM in an internet comment section.
Delta is super secretive and ultra elite
How do you know?
Except for TH-cam. Apparently.
Land Nav and a gigantic Gut Check.
Running through the woods from checkpoint to checkpoint with rest breaks sounds far easier than any day of SEAL training.
Delta sounds a lot more like brit SAS training. Seems very similar to the hills phase.
now you do it with weight in yourself and for great time and tell me if its easy or is it the hardest
How long is the US Constitutional exam you are required to take prior to swearing an oath or affirmation to defend the US Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic.
Had an opportunity for CAG. Got a taste of the process. Did one task. Said “I’m good” 😂
Do CAG enablers go through a selection?
I wonder who has the record time for the 40 miler
Dude is a badass
Fun times!
He must have taken the spring course
🤣
He passed delta but not mustache training.
Hey Dale, what ever happened to quiet professionals? This ain't the Navy.
Army has to pay the bills. They are all over the place.
18 miles, combat boots, after a 5 event physical fitness test, at night, with a pack, 45 lbs not including water, with a weapon… 2 hours 53 minutes…
What is Delta, because I’m hearing conflicting things. Some say it’s simply a hostage rescue/ anti-terrorist group. Others say that Delta are superhuman light infantry. So what’s the truth?
More the former than the latter. They are typically selected out from infantry, so they so have that skill set. Their main focus is direct action missions, meaning go in, kill someone or blow up something specific, get some piece of intelligence, etc, maybe rescue someone by killing everyone between entry and exit. But they don't hold anything, they don't stick around they don't call in airstrikes, etc. Those are all other units.
I was gonna do Delta and Seals, but then Space Force!
I joined the teams on cod. Selection was grueling. My thumbs nearly fell off but i made it.
Love it!
Why do people compare CAG selection to BUD/S? It's totally different! A bit ignorant if you ask me.
He does that lop sided comparison all the time. Bud/s should compare to SFAS. Unit selection should compare to “Green Team” (ST6/DevGru Selection). Which as far as I know is a individual effort like Unit selection.
I consider it ignorant someone with no training and prior knowledge to compare the two teams and say one's knowledge is ignorant this dude is actually been through it and has the knowledge and experience while you as someone online absolutely does not you have no position no right no experience no knowledge to actually say that they're ignorant compared to your opinion so really you have no ground to stand on here and yourself make you look ignorant with your statement
did you listen to the video atleast? he said he just likes to bash on the seals for fun its not that serious haha..
Strange to me that someone who was a Delta Operator would feel the need to dye his mustache.
Special forces and delta seem like the most difficult competency wise. Seals seem more like athletes
Ever seen a PJ?
Each SF is a speciality unto itself and with a specific mission set! So different individual skills are expected within leach SF unit.
Australian.S.A.S.and.Commandos.are.in.a.different.level..
No they are not! What age are you? The 22 SAS selection is more difficult kid!
The white elephant in the room candidates don't often ask themselves is WHY?
Why should you bleed for this detachment?
When the manpower pool gets low, so too does the elite standards of any organization!
Their training they are alone going thru the phases. No parameters. No time limits no affirmations no beratements. Totally unhuman interaction
He looks like a GI Joe
Navy seals are watching this screaming in their pillow right now
No
There was a seal in Delta I believe he was killed during black hawk down in the 90's
@@scallen3841 the only SEALs that tryout for Delta, are the ones that fail for DEVGRU. Army makes a path. DEVGRU doesn't take DELTA rejects.
18 miles in 2 hours?? He's full on running at 9mph with 60lbs of gear in jungle boots? Suggests he would be able to set world marathon record, in the Olympics and be the fastest long distance runner that ever lived?
What he describes is like prison
The folks that make it understand their why. If you are going through the training for bragging rights you won’t make it. I have known many guys that were athletic but failed the mental aspects of delta. Some have finished but failed the final interview. David Goggins tried twice and failed twice. He was checking the block versus really wanting to be selected. Not taking anything from the man, he eludes to that in his book. I did 23 years in significant units in the Army and it’s a combination of things not just physical ability. You must know your why for doing it.
Because it’s hard.
I love all the comments, comparisons and criticism from all you poser/never done nothing keyboard commandos. Enlist.
😂😂🤣
Enlisting probably won’t do them any good. I doubt this guy in the video, let alone their drill instructors, have the arm strength to pluck their heads out their asses.
Come on, more challenging than SAS selection? Give me a break.
I will preface my statement with, Delta Force is the best Tier 1 unit on earth. That said, comparing BUDS to delta selection is like comparing the course work of an associates degree to a Doctorate. A better comparison would have been DEVGRU's green team selection to Delta's selection. BUDS is the Navy's equivalent the Amy's regular SF selection.
This. People should be comparing Tier 1 groups to other Tier 1 groups.
Stale Cumsock. What a melt.
All that shit’s hard
Delta selection is based on British SAS selection which is the hardest in the world! Col Charles Beckwith designed Delta based on the SAS which in his professional opinion was the hardest selection on earth and still is.
Dale Comstock served in SEAL team 6 prior to serving in 1st SFOD-Delta, so he's absolutely the most qualified individual to compare the two.
@@SoldierDrew No he didnt
No he didn't lmao
He also flew the space shuttle to Uranus
No he didn't 0:30
Wrong!
Can we just agree that special operators are cut from a different cloth than the rest of us?
They said Delta didn't exist...
Wait. Did the government lie to us?
What is justice priced at
Where is their honor or virtue at in the USA?
99% don’t fail it though
90% fail Delta; 75 - 80% fail BUDS.
out of what number? They have their selection twice a year. So 1% is set in stone??? this guy is full of it and you don't compare Delta selection to BUDS but Green Team. You don't even get your Trident after BUDS but SQT. For TIER 1 for the SEALS is Green Team for DEVGRU,........It's like a clueless ST6 comparing DEVGRU to SF selection to pad themselves on the back. It's ignorant. This guy gets an F on information.
you are confused. You're group of friends are confusing you. Part of my life was woven into a James Bond character played by Daniel Craig. A navy vet and his family were running a scam on me along with a guy named Daryl Coleman. You've somehow been roped into this situation. Not sure why... I often have terrorist networks trying to get me into wars with people I don't even know.
Brad Pitt explained a few of the situations in the movie Bullet Train. That kind of thing started when I was 5 years old and I really don't know why... the people in my life are lying to me about it.
Did you take your schizo meds
I was nowhere NEAR Delta.
I was in a special operations unit.
One thing that really sticks in my mind all these years in the midst of guys puking and falling out was one instructor said "I dont neccessarily need the biggest, the strongest, or the fastest. I need the m'er f'er who absolutely will never quit. Even if it kills him."
He reminds me of Danny Trejo
If you hate doing it, there's no easy job. If you love it, there's no hard job. The toughest guy in the world has the best attitude. Audie Murphy was a sharecropper from Texas, until he wasn't. If you do your job, you're tits with me.
You don't really need to have experienced it to understand that this selection is far more legit than BUD/S unless you are a hollywood dreamer.... SEALs do everything in teams until one might make int. devgru.. (New word for anyone??). Then you have "beans" from other countries.. Everything this man said is right.. Especially about the mirroring part = moral support in BUDS... Delta is by far a higher intelligence (generally) group of operators AND advisors.. Great video.. And, I am in no way anti-Navy... Facts are facts...
You don't compare Delta selection to BUDS but to Green Team. This idiot is talking b.s. , he takes too much steroids. If a Delta operator compares their training to BUDS to pad themselves on the back then they have ZERO credibility. You are not even a Tier 2 SEAL after BUDS, No Trident after BUDS. They still have SQT which is the real training for Tier 2 and then you get your Trident. For Tier 1 is Green Team and that;s way harder than BUDS and SQT combine. Facts are facts.....
I don’t believe 99% fail.
C'mon guys!. Nobody goes for D force selection. You are already known. You dont get to choose. FFS!
Bro needs to man up and stop dying his beard
It’s not a team it’s a club and member pick who gets in so no thanks 🙂↔️ I’m tired of the fact we pretend like we don’t know what these gangs are like I did serve and I did see guy go and all the sudden they think they are above everyone in the game or military bc it’s all a game you play for the most of 30 years after that the game is over
If is wasn’t a game why are all the prior service member still not fighting a war? It took me years to come to this conclusion but it’s a fact if your a warrior all you know is war why are you in America? Go fight the wars of the world. Bc you didn’t do for war you did it for money status material items, which is why we end up so messed up bc you have to make your self a killer just to pretend to be a regular person after. And I’m tired of guys acting like you come back a regular person you don’t period…
This guy is a Jack ass. Notice it’s only a few that do the talking.
You sound soft haha
@@factsnchill168Apparently these “silent professionals” love blabbing about what they do and arguing with other operators over the internet
3 SEAL's watched this video and survived. So they each wrote a book about how bad ass they were to survive watching this video.
And of course... All 3 books told far different details of their struggle to survive watching this video, especially on the details of when they called the Rangers to save their asses -- as usual.
Seals live in the head of Army rent free. SEALs doesn't punches down, they don't mention Army.That says it all.
@deathfire096 Army always loves a good joke. 🤣
@@gman21266 they are a joke. This clown proves it.
He's lying.
99% come on, that’s a waste of time and resources putting a school on and failing every one.
You don't understand what their purpose is. 😂
@@The_Dude_Abides117it really doesn’t matter their purpose, if you’re saying 99% fail, so in a class of 100 , 1 guy graduates 😂.
In a class of 50-80, no one graduated 😂
@@jambo_jackbelly he is talking garbage because he doesn't give the total pie. 99% of what 5,000? He has to give what is the max number the DELTA community will hold in the community and how many they need when they run their selection twice a year. Since they hold their selection twice a year, it says that Delta operators leave or get hurt.
Sounds way easier than buds. Also buds is just the beginning
It's not.There are seasoned vets from the other elite forces,including SEALs,who don't make it.
Lmao it’s not
I saw those delta guys do things in Iraq that nobody else could do. Un freakin believable !!!
Because its haaaaarddd guyyyyysss
