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.
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.
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. 😂
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. 😂👍
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Found the podcast a month ago and have binged though all the episodes while at work and I just want to say thank you for helping me get through the day, you guys are a huge inspiration to me and I appreciate the work you do.
I used to listen to music in my woodshop but now all that plays is episodes of Unsub. And Eli the part with you and your son is awesome. Seeing how much of yourself you put into Autism awareness and everyone else as well is truly the greatest thing.
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.
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 was so excited to get the Tism Touch shirt as soon as my check cleared, and its awesome to see you with your boy, and the smile it bring you. Thank you Eli, and everyone else involved for making it feel like we're a part of the group of guys. I cant wait to wear the first merch I've ever bought from a creator.
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
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.
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
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
Hey I just want to thank you for your content you guys have changed my live. I look forward to hearing your strays and just being able to laugh and take things sad and seriously you guys are making a difference for alot of people keep doing what you guys are doing love your loyal viewers.
Oh my lord eli! that opening literally brought a tear to my eyes. your boy reminds me of my son and I, who is working through life his best with the tism and seeing you killin it as a good father warmed my heart completely. yall are the best foul mouth people i've seen on youtube. keep up the great work boys and all the love from canada!
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
It makes me happy to see how Eli is with his son and how supportive he is. My mom did her best to help me adjust with my own disorder, my dad never really did. Brings a tear to my eye
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.
Seeing your son with you made me happy again that i got the tism touch shirt! I love listening to you guys at work and i have been getting my coworkers doing the same... Thanks from MN, and i still love you Nick, even thou you hate our state...
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!
Damn, that opening hit right in the feels. I have worked with children in care, including those with neurodiversities for 10 years and you're approach is inspiring. Eli, you're awesome. Ryden, You're awesome!
Eli!! 😭😭 I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!! Your son is adorable! Buying a shirt and wishing all of you gentlemen and your families the best life has to offer!
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
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.
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 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
I love seeing this side of unsubscribe. Eli and his son makes my heart happy and it gives me hope of raising my son. Thank you guys for helping me every week with every episode.
Eli it hit me different cause my son has a touch of the tism and everyday before preschool we would do positive affirmations and it helped him get through it and now hes in first grade and the affirmations fell off. But we are going to start them again. Thank you for reminding me they always can use more positivity!
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.
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
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.
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'.
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.
Dammit Eli, you made me cry AGAIN! You are such an amazing human being and father, so genuine and open. If I even half as loving and supportive of my kids as you are with your son they'll be blessed.
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.
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
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
Everyday I gain more love for Eli and his family, I’m at work spraying chemicals on lawns trying not to cry after hearing the into, have a good Monday y’all
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.
