This is some training at Ft. Bragg apparently:
Yikes. I didn’t see VODA there giving instruction… they should have got him to sort this out.
Thoughts?
This is that obvious “buzz feed” style humor, but still alright in its own way:
I bet VODA is at home taking notes on this video.
Thoughts?
Gat tip: Corey, JohnnyIShootStuff
Stempling with King General .357 of BLACKPACKERZ™ / President of Urban Sharp Shooters Atlanta:
Yea… these guys really need stippled guns… that’s their current biggest problem… no stippling.
After watching the video I’m pretty sure “Stempling” is defined as “attempting to stipple, when you have no idea what the hell you’re doing”
I couldn’t make this shit up if I tried. Endless content.
Oh and if you care – King General .357 of BLACKPACKERZ™ / President of Urban Sharp Shooters Atlanta tries VODA’s ECK method (shooting with a knife) at the range. He doesn’t stab the target or shoot the ceiling though, so it’s pretty anti climactic.
Thoughts?
Holy… I normally don’t like to soak the blog in VODA stink more than necessary, but here’s more:
Unbelievable. Like I mentioned in the previous post, these amateurs and their comfort level being at “guns are toys” is concerning.
Thoughts?
The man already went off the rails numerous times… then he continues to release bullshit like this:
Ugh seriously? Not even 5 seconds into the video he’s already saying how he tucks his unholstered loaded gun between the seat and his crotch when he’s driving.
1:13 – Place your gun on the dash? Yea I’m sure a cop would LOOOOOVE that nice and accessible your right hand on the steering wheel and all. Wouldn’t it just be better to actually not have your gun sitting on the damn seat between your legs in the first place, then just put both your hands on the steering wheel and don’t make any movements which would make the officer nervous? Yea what do I know.
Oh wow… less than 2 minutes in and he’s already dropping mad knowledge about the boys in blue. Cool stories bro.
3:52 – Oh a police officer is going to stick his whole torso inside your car to grab the gun you placed on the dash? Ah… ok… tell me another one…
11:16 – Wait a minute… he’s talking about cops hating inclement weather and then uses the phrase “nothing pisses us off more when we gotta…”. So he’s law enforcement now? He then further elaborates that he “took the oath to uphold the law”, and she wasn’t “ready for us”.
I know this is the “Land of the Free” and all… but it’s dangerous he’s actually fooling people into thinking he’s some sort of authority on all these topics. *shrug*
Thoughts? Fascinating that him and his “students” are so comfortable pointing guns at each other.
Side note: I like how it seemed like someone with a plane knew VODA was up to some bullshit and kept flying it back and forth over head.
I have spare time today, but you better believe I’m not watching FUNKER x VODA for a damn hour and half:
The Funker marketing machine knows what they are doing though, I’ll say that much. VODA’s shitshow is the hot topic right now in the gun community. I’m sure the video contains tons of “because racism”, “I’m an educator”, “I’m an innovator”, and various other chest puffed out stuff VODA always gasses himself up on. The guy is a menace pure and simple. Judging by the few comments I read on the above YouTube video, people are pretty outraged this guy was given a platform to talk his slick talk.
Thoughts? Did you watch it? 
Gat tip: b3dlam, california_guncontrol
This:
hahah he posts these types of videos occasionally, of him doing derpy shit with a gun overlaid with some inspirational speech etc. Like I said before, I’m so happy this guy is so gassed up on himself… it makes for really great content.
Cool t rex snatchbacks, jerky movements, and Israeli moves brAh.
Oh and naturally he as another “advice” video up which he calls the “VODA Standard Striker Conditions Of Readiness” where he says the safest way to carry a glock is with the trigger depressed and a full magazine. STAHPPP STAHPPPP
Thoughts?
This is a standard and predictable but good quick casual listen. Better than I was used to expecting from the Funker marketing machine:
In this video below they even clown on VODA haha:
I like how they never took it to the “I have credentials. VODA and the rubber dummy shooters don’t have credentials so they’re wrong.” type argument. They handled it really classy. They didn’t get all mad and epic trolled like Clint Smith did a while back.
I really hope VODA pulls his foot out his own ass briefly and claps back at these two guys in a video response. Instructor on Instructor drama is the best, although with VODA he will predictably turn into an issue of Racism.
Thoughts?
Oh man, he straight roasted lil’ V:
Someone call the burn unit. Get this man some aloe vera. Get him to elevate his feet and have a damn nap.
I haven’t seen such a burn in a long ass time.
Thoughts?
Gat tip: Maison
Seriously? On and he’s holding a knife in his left hand (0:26). It’s like this guy is trying his hardest to get himself or a student shot:
Oh well I’d rather see him continue to do dumbass shit with his cameraman, than trick people into “training” with him.
Give me one good reason that justifies why he would have his gun out of its holster, and be clenching a knife out in public… in front of the NRA headquarters none the less.
0:26 – “One day, they (the NRA) will respect us. By their own will, or by our actions. Lets make it happen captain.”
Oh and if you weren’t convinced he’s got a massive problem with the NRA bordering on threatening here you go:
Oh and here he burns his NRA card over some classic Tupac… skull mask, vest, punisher logo patch and all. Tbh the hot sauce was a thoughtful touch:
Cool story bro, I’m sure this all will end really well for you. Keep trying to make yourself relevant.
Thoughts? It’s basically a full-time job keeping up with this guy’s stupidity.
Oh man this is good:
Anyone who says this isn’t accurate hasn’t watched enough VODA.
I find it hard to keep up with the derpy VODA content lately, the videos are so long and full of incoherent rambling.
Thoughts?
Gat tip: Daniel
This all happened before the book was even released yet apparently:
Here is the Amazon page where you can read the reviews for the black and white version, and here are the reviews for the color version. It’s a shitty occurrence for sure to have people who haven’t bought the book leave a review, I’ll give him that. If his past performance and “advice” is any indication of the quality of the book then I’m sure it’s a dumpster fire of bad advice and a regrettable $17 purchase. Would make a good coffee table book either way though, just to troll. I honestly HOPE and DREAM the book is amazing though, I really do. We’ve seen people in this industry turn their lives around in the past after being trolled for their lapses in safety and bad judgement. I believe VODA could potentially get there if he checked his ego a bit (a LOT).
Oh and naturally in the second video he’s saying the bad reviews were exclusively written by “caucasian males who follow / troll him on Instagram and call him ni**er everyday”. Cool story bRah, that’s awesome Amazon updated their site so you could see what color of skin reviewers have. Keep playing that race card. You’re doing a great job of discrediting yourself, you don’t need “help” from anyone.
Thoughts? Did you buy his book? I’m actually tempted to.
It blows my mind this guy is still talking at the camera:
I take a VODA vacation every now and then, because watching his videos actually feels like “work” to me. I read the titles of some of the videos though, and I’m instantly hooked because I know it’s going to be a flaming dumpster fire.
Oh we’re off to a good start… 0:07 – “There’s nothing wrong with a sephora style holster”… wait what? Did he say sephora? Now I’m no pronunciation god or anything, but I’ve always pronounced it “SERP-AH”. *shrug* I assume I’m right, because after all this is a VODA video… but I’ve been wrong before. Anyone?
He then goes on to say how the other holsters on the market were not “quick” enough for him… too many things in the way safety-wise. Naturally 
.
1:13 – Is mans slimming down? Good for him, for real.
1:20 – CRUCIAL that you use the word “purchase” to describe your solid grip on the firearm. VODA delivered 
.
1:49 – Oh you don’t understand why a person’s thumb could possibly slide over towards the trigger? YOU JUST DON’T GET IT HUH? This is coming from a guy who developed his own “system” (he calls ECK) where he shoots and stabs, and then put a round in to the range ceiling.. and then got banned. I’m just saying, things happen quickly. Life comes at you fast VODA, you know this man.
1:59 – “It is a perfect system”… you heard it here first folks, spread the work.
2:12 – He doesn’t like the “girth” of the holster, but it’s a duty holster so he’ll let it pass. So far sephora, Purchase, and girth are my favorite words in this video.
3:35 – “This lean back shit? *demonstrates what lean back shit is* don’t do that. Move forward *demonstrates moving forward with the gun up in his face* towards the person. You don’t go backwards”
3:52 – Oh lawwwwwwd yes! I knew that knife on his left side was going to be for him to pump his ECK “system. Tanto blade too, so you know he means business.
4:08 – LOL my sides… what is you doing baby? “I’m a fighter I can do this. Most people can’t do that.”
I love how VODA even called the company BLACKHAWK! in his title… you gotta have the all caps and the exclamation mark, those are the rules. VODA is a rules guy.
I want to see VODA do 100 or more of his fastest draws / one shot, with the gun loaded of course. I bet he doesn’t even get to 10 before an ND.
Thoughts? You running out to buy a SERPA this weekend off the strength of VODA’s advice?
I’m always happy to see this guy is still at it, talking his shit in these incoherent videos:
His “3 c’s of the gun game are”: Collusion, Conspiring, Cabal. Yea ok cool starry bra, I think you need to re-examine how you connected those words to your cute little stories. Basically what you’re mad at is called “Marketing”… ever heard of it? The 60 minutes style ticking clock was cute too.
3:34 – Talking shit about Colion Noir. “You’ll never see my video cut like a Colion Noir video. Video got so many cuts in it, might as well come with a pack of bandaids” haha I bet he was pretty happy with that burn. Oh man he’s so salty Colion is making bank with the NRA, and that people actually listen to what he has to say and watch his videos. LOL remember when VODA absolutely lost it at the NRA and even made a video outside the HQ threatening them? I’m surprised more didn’t come from that.
Wow, what an intellectual 
.
Thoughts?
You know, since VODA was the first one ever to shoot with a knife in hand:
Hundreds of years humanity has had firearms, and VODA was the first one to develop a system (which he calls EDA/ECK) where he incorporates a knife into the grip of the handgun. Incredible. If you don’t believe him you can watch this inspirational EDA/ECK video where he’s demonstrating it.
This knife and gun thing is all too high-speed for me guys. I’m likely to have the knife flipped around somehow and then go to reload and slice open my stomach, then flinch and shoot myself.
Thoughts? Ugh this time change has me messed up, I’ve felt off all day and this VODA stink only made things worse. This best part is that VODA really believes that Dom Raso is a fan, and he stole this. I can’t wait to see Dom address this, and it turn into one of the greatest firearm beefs of all time. It must really steam VODA too that Dom works for the NRA too (Referencing the NRA threat video).
Oh my god, his Woman’s Firearm Guide is absolutely getting hosed in the reviews on Amazon (and color version here). Yikes that’s basically 72 bad reviews, mostly from people who haven’t bought the book off Amazon. Should we give these people a benefit of a doubt, and say they probably read their friend’s copy since the book is so prolific?
Come for the R. Kelly… stay for the *snicker* knowledge:
0:14 – No… no one was wondering what was going on with your nose VODA. Quit calling playing with your auntie’s Chihuahua “working with a K-9″… that’s just embarrassing dude come on.
0:28 – The stress of the internet is steady WORKING my man’s hairline.
1:38 – LOL he’s going to hurt himself so bad with those big-ass stick knives. LOL at him having “fluidity of motion”… I’m deceased.
VODA really needs a Netflix special. He’s pretty much my favorite comedian out right now.
Oh and to finish off this post… remember last week how VODA was saying his EDA / ECK “system” was jacked by Navy SEAL Dom Raso. Well if that wasn’t the funniest shit you’ve ever heard on it’s own… Dom actually made an instagram response post which is pretty epic. The comments are priceless too.
Thoughts?
Smooth slowjam sample in the background to set the mood, looking like a damn shitty stressed out little league football coach:
Which one of his auntie’s houses is he at this time? Seems like his accent isn’t as strong in this video. Bomboclat. The Raphael Ravenscroft “feel it in the air” sample is fire tbh. The original song linked is much better not sped up.
0:56 – Oh god… please tell me his IWB holster is one of those ones where it holds the gun really low and you gotta pull the tab to get it up. nm confirmed later it’s not.
5:01 – ARGH why does he keep trolling us and calling it a Blackhawk Sephora holster. Dude it’s SERPA… try and bend your accent around that, damn.
I continue to be impressed how this guy can just get in front of the camera and talk shit for 10 minutes or more. It’s really a gift. His dedication to this, when his videos usually get under 200 views is also admirable.
All in all this video is quite a waste of time… but I was blogging while writing this post so I figured I might publish it anyways since the work is done.
Thoughts?
VODA is really feeling himself in this one. Fake Jamaican accent turned up to 11:
0:32 – Shoutouts Paul Castle. VODA is peeved they didn’t give the man credit.
1:26 – Oh wow, a “contractor” that trained at Sabre Tactical, passed the knowledge down to VODA. WAY before John Wick came out… he had to emphasize that.
1:38 – LOL I love how he tries to be so smooth, and impress us with his little choreographed hand movements.
“The gaan” always. What’s a gaan? Does he mean gun?
5:41 – He tells us to not get our training from youtube… then goes on to say how he has paid thousands upon thousands of dollars to learn what he knows. I really doubt that, but you never know.
6:50 – haha oh man the icing on the cake was that little clip at the end of him being high speed at the range, controlled pairs, derp scans and all. Beautiful *tear rolls down my cheek*.
This guy is such a dumpster fire. The random backyard videos from his various auntie’s houses he’s couch crashing at are cute and all, but I really wish he would find a range that hasn’t banned him yet and do more actual shooting vids. That’s where the real humor was.
Thoughts?
VODA on his Fat Joe, Terror Squad shit… still at his auntie’s house:
0:08 – hmmm RR21 Tactical Self Defense hey? Never heard of it. Are they actually cool with VODA, or did he just shell out $42.90 for that sweatshirt?
Really nothing much else happens in the video.
Because I never waste an opportunity at a rap reference. Here’s the Lean Back video I referenced:
Thoughts? You like when VODA gets all science’y? You like when he turns the fake Jamaican accent up to 11 like in this vid? VODA really is important to the culture.
Showing us all how observant and tactically proficient his mind is. This is such pure gold, I literally can’t even:
Ok I’m pissed off IMMEDIATELY because he’s tarnishing the good memory of 2Pac by using the Hail Mary instrumental. Also… “clearing this structure” “never been on this particular site before” dude you went to a construction site after the workers left and played around in the dark, don’t try to make it out to be something superior, like this is some sort of custom built VODA shoot house training facility.
4:03 – In the span of the next twenty seconds he talks about “slicing the pie”, “gathering data”, and “busting another 45 (degree turn)”.
I hate to break it to you buddy, but walking around with a flashlight completely removes the element of surprise. He’s acting like these fictitious characters he’s going to engage in are going to be sitting around like in video games, unaware of whats going on when they see a window or a wall light up.
6:00 – Talks about how the portapottys give him cover, and he can fire at guys on the rooftops if need be.
13:53 – “I didn’t break the plane. It may look like that on camera but I didn’t break the plane.” Ok…. 
I’m surprised he didn’t get up on a lift after that to “get a better vantage point to get kills”, and proceed to drive it around the warehouse.
“Watching the glass looking for shadows”. He keeps saying that. Sounds like the name of indie rock album he has in the works.
Such solid entertainment. This guy is more awesome than I initially thought. He’s definitely the the top 5 people in the industry I’d like to someday meet.
Thoughts? You learning a lot from VODA or what? haha oh and I love how he TM’s the phrase “Civilian Operator” in the title. This guy is living a Counterstrike / Call Of Duty fantasy life, and it’s incredibly amazing. Do you king… Do you.
