1
For the next 50 hours, I'll be eating the diet of a cop and the diet of a convict.
Durante las próximas 50 horas, seguiré la dieta de un policía y la de un convicto.
2
But there's a twist.
3
You'll be eating the convict's diet.
4
What?
5
You didn't tell me that?
6
And you'll be eating the cop's diet.
7
About time, b*h.
8
To see if they can survive each other's worlds.
9
I'll see you last a day in there, brother.
10
And who will break first?
11
This is worse than being in person.
12
I wouldn't even eat.
13
Starting with breakfast, are you excited?
14
Hell yeah.
15
Oh, I'm thrilled.
16
I just want to see how the other side lives.
17
So what was the typical first meal in prison?
18
What am I looking at here?
19
All right, so realistically, eggs, oatmeal, coffee.
20
So what's in the coffee?
21
In that coffee, you should have never trusted other people to make coffee for you.
22
I'm not going to tell you exactly what's in it.
23
I think I saw a little bit of the process.
24
There's two packets of coffee, a little bit of syrup, and a little something else.
25
We are going to find out.
26
But over here, what does the typical cop diet look like?
27
What you have before you, stereotypical donuts, the average police officer eats in pretty much all media.
28
This is consumed frequently.
29
I'd say most cops are about to overdose on caffeine.
30
So not coffee.
31
Unless you're older.
32
I mean, the older guys are typically, you know, out there slamming their coffees and whatnot.
33
But the younger guys, man, you gotta have two at one time.
34
Well, cheers to that, brother.
35
Let's experience the other lifestyle.
36
Wow, the flavor on that is just very plain.
37
How's that one?
38
Oh, that one's hitting.
39
It's a bit of hair.
40
So how long have you been a police officer for?
41
A little over five years.
42
And while Jake was becoming an officer, our convict Skyler went down the complete opposite path.
43
Known as Brick Boy Dior and building a career in rap, he was surrounded by drugs,
44
guns, and violence, eventually landing him in jail six times over five years, the last of which was the most serious,
45
motivating him to turn his life around.
46
Both 26 years old, but living polar opposite lifestyles.
47
And did you always know you wanted to do that?
48
Yeah, growing up, Dab was a police officer.
49
Everybody in the family was a police officer.
50
So it's kind of like second nature once you get older.
51
When I got out of county, I had to do six months of the sober living and live in a basement with 60 dudes.
52
Oh, imagine 60 dudes in one basement.
53
The first time I get there, they transport me from the jail.
54
They're like, all the rooms are downstairs, right?
55
I'm like, okay.
56
It's a little weird walk down the stairs and just look at a never ending hall with a light at the end.
57
I'm like, bro, wait.
58
There's light at the end of the tunnel.
59
There's light at the end of the tunnel.
60
The longer I eat this, the more I hate it.
61
You're putting people in prison.
62
You get to see what they get.
63
Let's crack into the drinks.
64
We got a prison latte that I shouldn't trust another man to make.
65
It might be a little salty.
66
What?
67
Dig into that prison latte.
68
Wow.
69
Oh, they did not miss with this one.
70
Potent and plain.
71
So would a meal like this fill you up for a while?
72
Oh no, no wake up at 530 in the morning to eat some bullshit just to go lay back
73
So you have to eat at 530 bang on the door chow chow chow
74
Yeah, that brings up a good question
75
How hungry do you get when you're on ship man?
76
I just depends because our schedule is so messed up
77
that some days you get into work and you've been awake for 24 hours and ate
78
Nothing and other days.
79
It's like you could eat nothing and be completely fine
80
And some days you do get to eat nothing because you're on a call and there's nothing you can do
81
And then there's other days where you're doing nothing and you can eat wherever you want whenever you want
82
So there's no consistency there one minute you you're free the next minute
83
you're gonna be stuck in one location hunger is gonna
84
Depend on that yeah, which I guess is the complete opposite of being in prison 530 in the morning
85
Everything in the morning like 530 12 and then like what six or seven or some shit.
86
So would you be hungry?
87
I mean realistically my comments here was good the whole time
88
So my dog is making sure I have money on my books
89
and full commissary stack every single week I was eating like 10 ,000 calories a day in there.
90
So you got fat in jail.
91
Hell yeah If your comments are good, you're gonna get fat.
92
So you were just bored.
93
Yep.
94
Hell yeah I would stand in myself with my arms on
95
the window just staring outside looking at all the cars drive by One day that's gonna be me.
96
Hey Meals going down pretty pretty pretty smooth.
97
I'm trying dude I do not want to touch that anymore.
98
Like I'm that is miserable
99
Yeah, you look like you're enjoying that meal a little too much.
100
Yeah, bro.
101
This looks like a regular bodybuilding meal, bro.
102
We got oatmeal, we got eggs, and we got a little bit of coffee.
103
I'm with it.
104
That's actually f*ed up.
105
I'm used to this.
106
Throw me in the cell.
107
I'll see you last a day in there, brother.
108
And clearly, I didn't mind either meals, but I needed to know what they thought of each other's.
109
It's like wet cat food.
110
That's fire.
111
This is nasty, too.
112
And by the end of the video, the diet as a whole.
113
So what would you rate this meal not knowing what's coming next?
114
Four.
115
That's not too bad.
116
What do you rate the meal?
117
Ten.
118
Ten.
119
A 10.
120
Could never go wrong with donuts.
121
One meal out of four is done.
122
Do they get better than this?
123
I guess you'll have to find out.
124
Now I want to see how you actually made food.
125
Today we are making what they call a brick.
126
So first, we start with the ramen.
127
What are we doing?
128
Is that to your liking?
129
I guess.
130
What are the Doritos doing?
131
So you open this up, right?
132
I'm going to make this one real beefy for you.
133
So now you got ramen, chips, crushed up, same bag.
134
Now are we doing the whole packet, half a packet?
135
Whole packet.
136
We need some sodium.
137
And then your protein.
138
Realistically, since we don't have any cheese sauce, cheese is going in.
139
That's, I guess, why you call it brick.
140
Does it turn into a brick?
141
Oh, it does.
142
Here's what we do.
143
And this comes from the sink?
144
This comes from the water fountain.
145
Okay.
146
From the shower.
147
Now, simply roll it up.
148
Yeah, let that bitch cook.
149
Let it cook.
150
I guess you get pretty creative when you're in a cell for 24 hours a day.
151
But the officer's meal couldn't have been more different.
152
If I didn't know any better, I would think that this is my meal prep.
153
What do we have in this?
154
It's very complicated here.
155
We got rice, ground beef, and vegetables.
156
And this is like a normal on -shift lunch?
157
Yeah, I mean, you never know when you're going to get the chance to eat.
158
So you got to get all your nutrients at one go, sit down, eat it, and you're good to go.
159
And would you say this is like somewhat of a typical meal?
160
I mean, that's the go -to right there.
161
Everybody's eating that where I'm working.
162
Bone apple teeth, brother.
163
Bone apple teeth, brother.
164
Dink, dink.
165
Gun him.
166
Sorry, I'm training.
167
You're just legitimately scared.
168
That's pretty good.
169
That right there is a reason why people get fat in jail.
170
This seems like a really nutritious meal.
171
Do most cops eat like this?
172
And are they worried about nutrition at all?
173
There are stereotypical older police officers who overweight.
174
At least in my experience, you're tend to going to see that on day shift with a bunch of the old guys over there
175
You know at that point in their career.
176
They're like ah, whatever it is what it is Most of the young guys.
177
I feel like that's a pretty stereotypical meal I mean, you're just getting rice protein and veggies.
178
That's all you need slop bowl boy cable
179
So do you think most prisoners are worried about nutrition at all?
180
No, no Realistically like me being somebody who would work out
181
my goal every single day was to do a thousand push -ups.
182
Yeah, I lasted two days
183
Yeah, why is that?
184
I found out about the brick
185
Dude, this life is so much better.
186
Just shut out and lay down all day.
187
And as weird as it is, I could actually see why this was a jailhouse favorite.
188
The more I eat this, the more I'm liking it.
189
But judging by Jake's face, I had a sneaking suspicion he didn't feel the same way.
190
Could you eat that for lunch?
191
Could I eat it?
192
Yes.
193
Do I want to eat it?
194
No. Solid.
195
You ever heard about shebangs?
196
No. The chips?
197
No. Best ones to make a brick with.
198
They got shebang peanuts too.
199
The seasoning from the shebangs.
200
and it seemed like instead of PTSD, Brick Boy was having nostalgia.
201
You're not gonna lie.
202
You wanna let me try a bite of that?
203
You need my food, homie.
204
This meal is hitting.
205
I could eat this every single day.
206
It's got everything you need.
207
I mean, you can do different variations on it.
208
One day you throw some fish in there, then remove the ground beef.
209
Next day throw some chicken in there.
210
Endless possibilities, they say.
211
What'd you rate your meal?
212
Solid eight.
213
Eight?
214
Yeah.
215
It never goes wrong with beef and rice.
216
Never.
217
And even though I was still thoroughly enjoying my brick.
218
This is hitting right now.
219
That bitch swanging, ain't it?
220
Uh -huh.
221
I learned that word in jail. Did you?
222
Jake, on the other hand, was struggling with his.
223
Did you mix the seasoning up in here?
224
Yeah, maybe not too good.
225
Dude, it's like straight chicken broth and salt.
226
Oh my God.
227
It's hard to mix it in that bag.
228
But if Jake was struggling with this, he was in for a much worse time later.
229
I'm giving this a three.
230
A three?
231
Yeah.
232
But underneath all the banter, I wanted to better understand the law enforcement lifestyle.
233
You actually were heavier before you became a cop, right?
234
Yep.
235
So how does that work?
236
Normally it's the opposite.
237
I mean, I wasn't heavy for no reason.
238
I used to be an offensive lineman and was playing football.
239
And then I knew I was going to be doing a bunch of running when I went to the police academy.
240
So I started running before I went and I lost all the weight.
241
And I went from like 250 to 185, I think.
242
Wow.
243
That's impressive to
244
because like i said normally people with the cop stereotype
245
it's all they're sitting around all day they're not doing much it's starting to change
246
because of social media there's a lot of people out there
247
that are putting out content and videos and whatnot trying to like specifically
248
if you're in like my algorithms all cop stuff you're starting to see people
249
that are getting videos pushed to them about being healthier
250
and how you can like have healthy habits in the job especially the younger cops are staying healthier
251
that's actually good i mean there's still a quarter of this bag left to go keeps
252
you busy i mean imagine sitting in a cell all day you'd rather be sitting eating
253
i'm glad you're getting to experience it i'm glad how many people in this life will ever experience
254
that that's why i wanted to do it you should you should do a crime bro
255
you should just choose like a low like a low crime get locked up
256
if this gets a million likes i'll go to jail hey guys like this please
257
but we all finished our meals because we needed the energy for what we were about to do.
258
And since there are no weights in jail, I want you to show me how you still work out.
259
Welcome to the yard, brother.
260
Let's do a circuit.
261
10 pull -ups.
262
Two, three.
263
20 push -ups.
264
One, two.
265
10 dips.
266
One, 10.
267
Oh, shit.
268
10 times.
269
Sounds like a workout to me.
270
You ready?
271
Let's do it.
272
I spend a lot of time in the gym, but I'm used to lifting weights, not doing calisthenics.
273
So even though this started off easy, I began to realize I wasn't yet cut out for the convict conditioning,
274
but I wasn't going to quit because what happens to quitters in jail?
275
Well, I'll just let you fill in that blank.
276
And if I was struggling this much, it made me wonder.
277
You think a cop can do this?
278
No. I'm too many damn donuts.
279
Let's find out.
280
All you have to do is 20 push -ups, 10 pull -ups, and 10 dips.
281
Sounds good.
282
Let's do it.
283
Oh, yeah.
284
Oh, yeah.
285
What Jake didn't realize is that I may have left out a little detail, which was probably for the best.
286
Because after seeing him struggle by the end of the circuit, I'm getting hurt.
287
No way.
288
I had to break him the news.
289
Now, all you got to do is do that nine more times.
290
You're lying.
291
Ten circuits.
292
Ten of these?
293
Yep.
294
You're going to cut this from the video.
295
Are you serious?
296
And even though he was confident in his push -ups, the other exercises weren't in his wheelhouse.
297
And it only got worse.
298
I'll probably just go home and feel bad about myself.
299
Until finally, after three rounds, he had enough.
300
That's as much as you're getting out of me.
301
Convict wins this one, huh?
302
Go ahead.
303
That would be 30 more of me.
304
Because cops never know when they'll get a chance to eat, Jake normally grabs this when he's on the go. But first...
305
What?
306
What the hell is this?
307
What am I looking at?
308
You are now about to eat something that they call the Nutri -Loaf.
309
This doesn't even look like food.
310
You've been a bad, bad boy.
311
So pretty much what we got here, you got beans, tomato paste, spinach, powdered milk, chopped up bread, cheese, and the little purple things, you know?
312
Yeah.
313
Things they call raisins.
314
We got all that in here.
315
You got all your nutrients that you need.
316
For one day, right here.
317
But jails can't legally malnourish inmates, So they use Nutriloaf as a disciplinary tool for inmates who misbehave, throw food, or misuse utensils.
318
And different states make it with different ingredients.
319
So, I'm not gonna lie, I have no idea how nutritious this is, so I put it into Macrofactor,
320
the sponsor of today's video, to figure it out.
321
All I had to do was input each item by scanning the barcode or searching the database.
322
And let me tell you, there were a lot of items.
323
But luckily, Macrofactor allows you to import any recipe with a link and make any edits in the app.
324
So I can log a recipe this complicated in seconds and get back to literally anything else.
325
This came directly from the State Department, so I know the exact measurements for everything.
326
And for half of this loaf, that comes out to 1 ,158 calories, 56 grams of protein, 31 grams of fat, and 174 grams of carbs.
327
Plus, Macrofactor has allowed me to track all of the nutrition throughout this video quickly
328
and easily because it's the fastest calorie tracking app on the market.
329
I use it every day and would genuinely recommend downloading it.
330
And the best part, new users get a 14 -day free trial
331
when you sign up using code Casey or the link down in the description box below.
332
Thanks again, Macrofactor, for sponsoring this video.
333
But now I believe it's time for you to tell me what you have right here.
334
That's the greatest grab -and -go meal there is.
335
Yeah, let me do a spicy chicken meal.
336
Fries is fine.
337
Yeah, and then a Diet Coke with that and some ranch and buffalo.
338
I am not looking forward to this.
339
You might be, though.
340
Because I got the spicy chicken sandwich and then you got the fries.
341
That's all you need.
342
That's a nutritious meal right there.
343
If you squint hard enough, it may look like a Chick -fil -A spicy chicken sandwich.
344
Squint?
345
No. Oh, you don't even want to touch it.
346
Oh, no. This is so good.
347
This is so bad.
348
The flavors in this don't even make any sense.
349
Dude, this is really hard to eat.
350
This is why you don't come across.
351
This is worse than being in person.
352
I wouldn't even eat.
353
It tastes like I'm getting all my nutrients in for the day.
354
You're getting everything that you need, bro.
355
Protein.
356
I love it.
357
That's all I even know.
358
I don't really know what else you need in a day besides protein, but you're getting it all.
359
In the universe in which I end up in prison, I can promise you I'll be a good boy because I'm not getting this meal.
360
You'll be a good boy.
361
Oh yeah.
362
The goodest of boys.
363
What's the hardest part about eating this way while working?
364
Honestly, is every time we're eating in the car, we're trying to be left alone.
365
Like we don't want anybody to come speak to us because it's the one minute of downtime that we have.
366
We will like find a police officer in the corner of a parking lot
367
or something or tucked away and then the hardest part is you're sitting there
368
and you start seeing someone walking up to your car midway through your meal
369
and you're just like can i get a second of peace please it's like
370
when somebody interrupts you watching youtube while you're eating
371
if you're watching this video while you eat comment down below i got you
372
which reminds me I said if I hit a million subscribers by the end of the year, I'll shave my head.
373
Since it came to my attention that a lot of you don't like my haircut.
374
If you want to see that happen, make sure to click subscribe.
375
What was the hardest part about eating this way in prison?
376
Just try to stay mentally sane, realistically.
377
Which is exactly how
378
Jake felt eating this straight up slob.
379
This is what I get after a workout.
380
You normally want your post -workout meal to be delicious.
381
You just work so hard.
382
And after getting a taste of jail inside an ultra luxury SUV, I needed to know something.
383
We're sitting here in a Maybach and you're seeing this food.
384
How has success changed your perspective on everything?
385
You know, I feel like the people who end up in jail is
386
because they feel like they have nothing going for them in life.
387
Like they don't care if they lose everything because they have nothing going.
388
I didn't give a f* about what happened today, tomorrow, the next day.
389
I didn't care because I literally had nothing to do.
390
You didn't feel like there was a future.
391
Bro, if I went to jail, I didn't lose anything.
392
I didn't lose a job.
393
I didn't lose a car.
394
I lived in my mom's house, so I didn't lose my house.
395
I didn't have any animals.
396
I literally had nothing to lose.
397
You feel like you're worth nothing.
398
It tends to bring people to drugs and alcohol.
399
Drugs and alcohol tend to bring you to jail.
400
So what was that flip, that switch?
401
God.
402
Real.
403
Jesus will save you.
404
Ask God for one more chance.
405
Like, please forgive me for my past.
406
One more chance of this life.
407
And somehow in 365 days.
408
I'm not sure this was any answered prayer for me.
409
Definitely was not.
410
But we're here, we're living, we're breathing and I'm eating my, I'm getting my nutrients in.
411
So that matters.
412
But what really mattered was whether we could actually get this food down.
413
I actually don't know if I can do this.
414
I'm not going to make you finish.
415
Pause.
416
You said you wanted to experience what it's like on the other side.
417
No, I don't recall saying that at all, actually.
418
Play the clip back.
419
I'm thrilled.
420
I just want to see how the other side lives.
421
Except you didn't tell me this is what we were going to be doing.
422
And at this point, I believe we were both eating our work.
423
I'm having a great time so far.
424
The jail pool hitting.
425
Dude, I can't eat that.
426
You eat dog shit, brother.
427
Dude, I literally almost gagged.
428
It's just a crunchy brownie.
429
Oh.
430
Mmm.
431
Mmm.
432
Crunchy brownie.
433
I love crunchy brownie.
434
Why did I think of that sooner?
435
What do you rate that meal?
436
11. 11 out of 10.
437
Could never go wrong with Chick -fil -A.
438
Does the scale go lower than zero?
439
Sure.
440
I'm giving this a negative 10 out of 10.
441
So it's in hell.
442
I legitimately, if I was in prison, I just wouldn't eat.
443
I think if you take a couple big bites.
444
You've got to do it one go.
445
I mean, this is legitimately so god -awful.
446
No, I can't.
447
I can't.
448
But neither of us wanted to give up, so we manned up.
449
I've got to do it.
450
And did what we had to do.
451
Yes.
452
Oh, I am so impressed.
453
Let's go.
454
That's an officer on duty right there, baby.
455
Please tell me it gets better than this.
456
Please?
457
But as Jake grabbed his last meal from the gas station rollers on the way home from shift,
458
Brick Boy made a meal I can't say I've ever seen before.
459
What am I looking at?
460
What is this?
461
Probably the best thing you're going to ever eat in your life.
462
How did you make this?
463
What is it called?
464
Simply the best thing you're ever going to eat in your life.
465
But what's the name?
466
That's just cake.
467
Commissary cake.
468
And how do we make it?
469
Commissary cake, exactly.
470
And how do we make it?
471
All right, so what you do is you take the Oreos, scoop out the whatever the...
472
What's
473
that shit called? the stuff oreo nut take the oreos put
474
them in a bag remember how we did the ramen you're gonna put a little water in
475
that bag form
476
that form the cake base you take a little bit of peanut butter okay
477
you're gonna put the topping the oreo oreo stuff the oreo
478
that stuff stuff put it in there mix it up okay onto the cake ms this is
479
so creative people fight over this they went under the stairs to the back room and they was bumping over that cake.
480
And guess who ended up eating the cake?
481
Me.
482
Compared to the slop that you fed me today, this actually looks fairly decent.
483
I mean, you're probably using all of your commissary money on it, but you get a cake in prison.
484
What do you have for me right here?
485
That's the 3AM special.
486
You have a cheesy pepper jack taquito right there.
487
And that is what I affectionately call the buffalo chicken cylinder.
488
Now that you're off your shifts, you gotta wind down.
489
What is this?
490
That right there is bourbon, my friend.
491
I don't drink.
492
You're going to have to drink it.
493
What are you doing?
494
I don't drink, brother.
495
Chocolate, peanut butter, M &M goodness.
496
Yeah, that's inspired, right?
497
Like a king.
498
I got to wash it down with a chicken cylinder.
499
Whatever cop decided to stop and eat this, this shit is hot ass.
500
You don't like it.
501
Fuck no. It looks good.
502
Whose idea was it to put corn inside of a fuck?
503
What even is this?
504
And after having so much fun with two guys who seemingly had nothing in common,
505
it was time to ask.. them something a little bit more serious.
506
So I have a question.
507
How has your perception on police officers of convicts changed over time?
508
Oh, I respect them. Do you?
509
100%.
510
Not everyone's a bad person.
511
Some people are just genuinely in the wrong place at the wrong time.
512
But there are people out there that deserve what they get when it comes to the punishment that they face.
513
Because realistically, they are there to help, you know, and I was generally a menace to society and needed to be stopped and was stopped.
514
And once I was stopped, look how much my life has changed.
515
You know what I mean?
516
There's a way to use your discretion to know
517
when someone needs the punishment that they're about to receive versus this person is just having a bad day or whatever.
518
And they're down on their luck and like, yeah.
519
I think that's important for people to realize more so because you're a person with emotions.
520
You understand.
521
Sometimes you have, it's your job.
522
No, we're all robots, man.
523
Right.
524
I'm so happy I got arrested that day.
525
I'm so happy I sat in jail.
526
I am generally so happy to have been incarcerated because it changed my life for the better.
527
That's deep.
528
That's deep.
529
That really is.
530
Now that I say that out loud, think about it, that's actually kind of crazy.
531
Thank God for the system.
532
I wouldn't have expected you to say that.
533
I also wasn't expecting what
534
Jake said next.
535
So what are you rating that?
536
I mean, you know what, compared to the crap that I beat for the rest of the day, probably 8 .5.
537
Whoa!
538
What are you rating that?
539
Four.
540
But I still had one more question for the both of them.
541
You finished the cop's diet all day.
542
How long do you think you could eat it for before you go crazy?
543
Take the brick out of there.
544
I could probably do about two weeks.
545
Two weeks?
546
Most people aren't in there for two weeks.
547
No, they're in there for 24 hours.
548
What?
549
Nobody stays in jail, man.
550
I'd get fat for sure.
551
Yeah.
552
I understand why they say that like cops are fat now.
553
They're always on the clock.
554
So it's like quick shit.
555
You feel me?
556
Like donuts, quick.
557
Chick -fil -A, quick.
558
Like racetrack to end the day?
559
No. Can't do no racetrack for dinner.
560
I guess you kind of just play the cards you're dealt, right?
561
You get creative.
562
You eat what you got to eat in order to get the job done, right?
563
Another day is another day to get paid.
564
Wake up, count your blessings, and thank God that you're breathing and not six feet on there.
565
And it's pretty clear that we all have more in common than we think.
566
Because if I was able to sit across the table from a cop
567
and a convict for 50 hours and and have an equally good time with both?
568
Who says they couldn't do the same?
569
Because remember - I'm not special.
570
I'm just consistent.
571
If I drank that, guess where I am.
572
Not where we wanna be.
573
Right back in jail.
574
It's facts.
575
That's a crazy ending to the video.
576
Roll, right?
577
Yo, sorry guys, we can't finish the video.
578
He just rusted.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
