Sorry the audio was so loud in that one spot, there was live music across the river I didn't think my mic would pick it up, but it did. Hope it doesn't take away too much from the overall video!

Don't feed the trolls. Focus on those who truly Love you. Third, Congratulations to the Spurs. They are having an amazing season. Finally, there's always one smh. The last guy threatened to take my camera, then take my memory card. I always look back at negative reactions and ask did I do too much, then some say I don't do enough.

https://m.youtube.com/texasbushmanBushman Prank: War on Funny - 2026!!Texas BUSHMAN2026-02-12 | What up Bush Fam!! First, as yall know, I try and engage with everyone in the comments but I'm letting you know now I'm not jumping on the hate train. She didn't want to be on camera and the Husband calmly asked to delete their interaction, which is impossible to do without deleting all the footage on that clip. It needs to be done on a computer. I got short with the Husband because he made a demand to show them their interaction is deleted. Me and my Editor - Eric, have a hand signal for people that ask politely to not be in the videos. If they would have just left, I would have gave Eric the signal.
This was the first time I ever had to call the Police. The lady knocked over my camera and took off never to return, leaving her apologetic Husband and two kids. That was comedy. I did not press charges because number one, the Husband remained there the whole time cool, calm, and collected (with the kids). He apologized and the first thing he told me was to call the Police. Secondly, she didn't break my camera, she broke a $10 sun screen that I already replaced. The Police came and as always treated me fair and with respect. Life goes on. Ma'am welcome to the Internet.

https://m.youtube.com/texasbushmanBushman Prank: The Fallout - 2026Texas BUSHMAN2026-01-22 | What up Bush Fam!! I started filming this the first week of 2026 but ended up getting sick for the first time in almost 2 years. That's why we didn't have a video last week, but you know I got you!! Went out last weekend and got some GREAT REACTIONS!! Made sure to make this one special!!
We also got a NEW theme song for the year!! Let us know what you think!! Also, the thing everyone keeps pointing at, in front of my pot, is my fake bluebird sitting in a fake nest. Idk why I keep forgetting to show it to the camera.
The time is 5:22am and I still haven't been to sleep yet. I'm still trying to finish and upload this video, so I might not respond to your comments until I wake up. If you're reading this I guess I finished lol.
I had to remove the audio at 19:20 due to copyrighted music. I didn't want to remove the whole dance so it is what it is.
I also might add more of a description later, maybe, maybe not. We'll see. I just know I need some sleep. Planning on filming more before this years over with and hopefully we can get another new video soon!
https://m.youtube.com/texasbushmanBushman Prank On WHEELS!! Halloween Special 2025Texas BUSHMAN2025-10-30 | What up Bush Fam!! First I want to thank, Eric my Editor, for trying something new editing this one. I bought a new camera just for this video and it was a headache for both of us trying to learn the new editing software especially for this long of a video. His computer crashed and we lost all his edits for this video and I lost count how many times he had to start over but he stayed with it and stayed up late to get it done. Also big shout out to, DC Welding, here in San Antonio for helping me fabricate the base the pot I'm sitting in, is sitting on. Excellent customer service and work!! Also, last but never least, thank you All, for your patience!! I know in the last video I said I had a video done and ready 3 weeks ago but I decided I wanted to combine it with this newer Skateboard Bushman version. I haven't had this much fun in a while, just testing out the suit on the road and even just learning to ride a skateboard at all. I doubt I'm making my money back on this one because I spent a lot but I think it was worth it that you all got to see something NEW and I might have found a nice lil side-hobby lol! Skateboard Bushman will NOT be permanent but I might pop out with Skateboard Bushman every once in a while.
Lastly if you want to support me trying out all my new and crazy ideas check out my website (texasbushman.net) and Buy a hat. They're good quality and I'm blown away how many repeat customers I get! I ship every order personally so keep me busy yall!

First I want to take the time to really thank each and everyone of you that supports me day in and day out. I want to thank each and every person you see in the video and even those that don't make it in the video play a huge role. You might hear them laughing or clapping in the background and I think it brings life to these videos. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you all!! It's been a journey to say the least and I hope you stick around because I have a surprise I've been working on! Coming VERY SOON!
Also a new video is already done so that is coming soon also!
Thank YOU!!

-JoeBushman Prank: Finding Joy 2025Texas BUSHMAN2025-02-27 | What up Bush Fam!! Appreciate you all watching and hope you enjoy this video! I didn't think we would be able to get this video out today but Eric and I both worked hard to make it happen! This year is already flying by, no more excuses, go handle that business you've been putting off! I believe in you!!
Random: I've learned that being a good person does not mean being a nice person, or even a likeable person. To be nice is to be agreeable or compliant. Who exactly agrees with everyone? Sounds impossible to me. A good person delivers hard truths when necessary even if it makes others uncomfortable. Not for the sake of enjoying petty arguments but for standing up for what's right. Being a good person is someone that refuses to lie, cheat, steal. A good person is someone that is dependable but they may also have boundaries because they are wise. A good person is someone that is authentic, hardworking, perseveres, encouraging, self-disciplined but may not show you any of the above if they so choose. A good person is not a pawn or a puppet. A good person is someone that values respect and fairness. A good person is courageous and stands up for what's right even when it's difficult and often standing alone. In my opinion we should aim to be a good person, but not necessarily a nice person.
Another Random: How to find Joy: Set a random goal to do something somewhat senseless and try to accomplish it. Couple rules, it has to be new to you and somewhat challenging. You cannot get paid for whatever it is. Some Examples (at your own risk): Lets get lost in a new city. Or go camping on the roof and look at the stars. Lets build a treehouse or even better lets build the worlds best pillow fort. Or we can go find an old pirates map and go find buried treasure or I'll even settle for finding our missing socks after doing laundry or the forks and spoons we just bought that go missing. Let's invent something that actually works. Lets teach a Parrot how to bark. Lets have a cookoff. Why not do a sober improv night at home? Let them kids choose how you spend the next 12 hours and follow through. Lets create a new accent and try it out for the whole day. I remember I seen a Meme a while ago about guys frolicking, just puff your chest out a little, you still a man lol. Whatever you choose to do just remember not to take it too serious. Let go of expectations and watch you rewind the clock and find that youthful joy again that you've been craving. Stop making excuses. Go be joyful!
Last Random: I hardly ever enjoy the first mile when I go for a run. It's always the most difficult for me even though you would think it is physically the easiest. Not for me. The first 10% of anything I start is a mental battle that I've slowly learned to overcome through patience.
Oh yeah go buy a hat! Thank you!
Alright I'm gone.

Thought she would be a funny idea to brighten up your day! So much stinks in the world at the moment, why not bring a little humor with my little Stink Stink! Hope you all enjoy this video like I did making it!
Its looking like we are going to be freezing here over the weekend so not sure if I'm going to be able to film this upcoming weekend yet. Definitely going to try! If I cannot film this weekend, due to weather, then next weeks video may be a little delayed but fingers crossed for good weather! Hoping everyone stays warm, especially those without a roof over their heads. I may head downtown and give out some thermal blankets if my online order comes in time. Also for my poor plants outside, hoping they survive this week long freeze! Sending you all my Love & Strength!
Random: Probably said it before but I don't want nothing in life that doesn't take work to get it. If you're comfortable you're probably not doing enough. Nothing Easy!
Another random thought: No one can come remotely close to hurting my feelings like family can.

Whether you support this month or not, I personally do not care, I probably care enough for the both of us lol. I know how important it is for kids that look like me to grow up and feel seen, heard, and celebrated!! I personally do not believe in participation trophy's, but I do remember a time in my life where it seemed like no matter what I did the world simply HATED MY GUTS and that is a horrible feeling. Then I grew up and realized no matter what you look like there is a LOT of people that feel the same way, hated. Random but right-in-line; money is the root of ALL evil. Anyway, it feels good to be celebrated once in a while instead of the constant criticization we all receive. Crazy how we think we are alone when in-fact we sometimes can ostracize ourselves and build walls to keep others out when often times it just keeps us locked in with no way out. I also think some people get confused on why people celebrate black history. I personally don't think most people that celebrate want to dim anyone else's light but to simply let their own light shine and for good reasons, and when you want to celebrate yourself believe me, I'll be there in the front row clapping. Life is short and tough for everyone.
I remember being 16 living in North County St Louis, working at Jack-in-the-Box (still one of my favorite jobs; making $5.46hr). I used to work with an older guy, OG Perry, God rest his soul. He was probably in his 60's. I used to drop him off in the hood on the Northside every night after our shifts. OG Perry was a good man and a hard worker. We talked a lot up there about everything. One day out of the blue he got me hired working at his 2nd job on the Southside of St Louis (making $8hr), working at an Irish bar washing dishes. Mind you, At 16 I was dark skinned with a mouth full of gold teeth. Working at an Irish Bar. This was back in '06. At that time I only listened to rap/trap/and little gospel and some r&b music. Working at that bar in the back I HAD to listen to some music I probably would never had turned on myself. Funny thing is OG Perry would be sitting there bobbing his head to all kinds of music and I'd be watching cracking up and smh. One day I asked him if he liked the music. I'll never forget, he got serious and looked me dead in my eyes and said, "nephew everything aint for you" and went back to bobbing his head to some rock song. If you knew OG Perry, he really was about that life and to see him rocking out to country and rock songs just put everything into perspective for me. He really opened my eyes and made me realize that the world does not owe you anything and it definitely does not revolve around any single person or company. No one can force you in a box but YOU. We all are beyond lucky to be apart of this place we call home, no matter where you live, how you live, how you dress, what you eat, or even what type of music you choose to vibe to. We all have a choice. I recently did an interview and they asked me what my purpose was in life and that question has always been easy to answer for me. My purpose in life is to simply be a good person when I think no one is watching. I say it all the time, that I fail at it everyday, but I do actively try. I'll end this rant there. I'm about to go run 10 miles. Did you exercise today?
Oh yeah before I forget, It's a fake bird sitting in a fake bird nest in front to the pot I sit in. I've been using it for the last couple weekends. Really gets peoples attention.
Also, man man man, so many Great reactions the internet will never see simply because people accidently block the camera on the best reactions. I'm laughing but crying at the same time because it really is the best ones that get blocked lol.
Lastly, I found, Dave!! All my OG supporters probably remember, Dave, but it's been what, 3 or 4 years?? He still ain't talking to me LMAO.
Last lastly: Don't remember where I heard it but, are you really working on healing yourself or are you just isolating yourself and calling that healing? It's a difference. Just because I think I want a 6-pack does not mean I'll get one without putting in the reps and practice at the gym. ______________________________ My Website: Texasbushman.net ______________________________

Subscribe To This Channel ► youtube.com/@UCFRE4F1oMhKXb4RylmF3BxwBest Male Reactions 2024!!Texas BUSHMAN2025-01-20 | What up Bush Fam!! I edited this video with LOVE and APPRECIATION, for every single person that is featured in this video, to the people I have the pleasure of meeting in person week after week for the last 5 years. To the people online who give me non-stop motivation to be a good person when no one is looking. (I fail daily, but I do try). I cannot say THANK YOU enough. These last couple years have been extremely hard for many people and somehow we still show up and get things done. I am truly PROUD of you. I used to be a blue collar worker for almost 15 years. I realize how much of a 'thankless' job it is for most workers, whether blue collar or white collar. Same outcomes..Retirees can ignore this next part but I feel it to be important. I remember working mandatory overtime, 12 hour overnight shifts, outside in freezing weather in the snow with no heat. On the flip-side I worked outside in the burning desert sun dealing with scorching weather with nothing to cool me down but luke warm water. Still solving problems and getting it done. Day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year. Looking at my paycheck wondering How do I get out of this hole. It's time to let go of those bad habits and put those 'self-help' books into practice. You and I know you've read and studied them enough. I empathize with all workers. Keep protecting your peace. Keep pouring into these kids Love and Strength daily and believe in them, don't force teachers to teach AND raise your kids at the same time. It is impossible, and not only your kids but society will suffer for it. They deserve so much more. Also, do NOT forget to believe in YOURSELF!! We can be extremely harsh on ourselves and want to stay down when the world knocks us down over and over and over, but I BEG you. Get up!! Wipe those tears away and Keep fighting for what you believe in even if you are the only one showing up! Understand you CANNOT pour from an empty cup. Take that nap. Be a good person to everyone, but start with yourself. Drink some water, go for a walk, stretch it out, do some planks, eat more whole foods and start cooking at home, break that bad habit and replace it with a good habit. It only takes 3 weeks to reinforce new habits. Force time for yourself. Be a better person today than you were yesterday. Give with no expectation of ever receiving. Find success in your PEACE. PROTECT YOUR PEACE. I LOVE you and no matter where life takes us on our journeys - whether together or apart - I truly wish you well.
I Hope everyone is able to enjoy the rest of their week!! I'll be back soon!
Be Good, not necessarily nice, but be a good person, even when you think no one is watching.
https://m.youtube.com/texasbushmanBushman Prank: The Return of Baby Sloth 2025!!Texas BUSHMAN2025-01-16 | What up Bush Fam!! Starting 2025 off Strong!! Took Baby Sloth to the Zoo last weekend to make new friends. He got me in trouble though. Or maybe it was me that got me in trouble but imma blame Baby Sloth lol...I don't think the Zoo management likes me too much because they called the police within 30 minutes of me being there. Just like last year. Also got the police called on me in the 2nd spot I filmed in. It's been a while since the police were called on me but twice in a weekend isn't surprising to me. Luckily the San Antonio police are always fair and polite with me so I can't complain at all.
I Bought a ticket to go in the zoo really just looking for the real Sloth they have there but he's an Ambassador and was out I think visiting a school. Still had a great time taking my time visiting most of the animals there. It was still a fun day!!
The object a lot of people were pointing at in front of the bucket was a fake bird in a fake bird nest.
Random: In my opinion, every human should be scared of a moving life-like bush. It's natural to be scared of the unknown and it is the body's way of protecting you to survive. A quick jolt of adrenaline. It's instinctual and hardwired biologically, think flight-or-flight. Being afraid is completely normal, as long as that feeling is temporary, meaning it's ok to remind yourself of imminent danger and to have a quick thought of preparation to avoid danger. You should always be skeptical of things that may hurt you or potentially cause harm. This is normal, in my opinion. I think where some go wrong is moving beyond being scared - which is sudden. Or being afraid - which is temporary. Some people live in fear - which is deep, longlasting, and usually ongoing. When you live in fear you can never be at peace because you are living in a constant state of fight-or-flight which deepens depression - which is living in the past. Or anxiety - which is trying to guess and anticipate the future. Learn to let go of things outside of your control which is most things and set boundaries within yourself which I have been learning. Also try to lessen certain expectations you assign to the world. There is where you find your peace. No one thing on Earth is perfect so if you constantly expect everything to go perfectly and live in fear of the unknown, which leads to avoidance, then every single day you are setting yourself up for failure and will drive yourself insane. It's ok to be scared or afraid but it is never ok to live in a constant state of fear. Either face your fear or let it go and set realistic boundaries.
Also, before I forget, I saw a lot of comments on the last video about custom stickers. I've been buying custom "I survived Texas BUSHMAN stickers for over 3 years now. I just run out within the first couple days of ordering them. I do appreciate all your thoughtful suggestions and feedback, always!!
I Hope you all enjoy this video! I will be back sooner than you think! Appreciate every single one of yall!! Especially those that like, comment, and share, helps me tremendously!! Much Love!! Goodbye for now!!

Thank you to everyone who bought and continues to buy my merch! Really means THE WORLD to me! I was extremely nervous thinking no one would support me but I am lucky to have people that truly care about me and I cannot even describe how it makes me feel. Thank you!!!!
Had a huge rush the first week then it slowed down a lot like I expected it to. I bought probably more inventory for this one, "Just Breathe", design but hearing a lot of your feedback, I should have incorporated other items like clothes, socks, mugs, etc, or even different hat designs. Lesson learned! Like I told a few of you, going to try and sell this inventory first then order different designs and products to keep on hand! I'm really digging this e-commerce thing and I am going to see how far I can take it with more quality products!
Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates! Happy Holidays to those that do not!
I hope everyone that reads this can find joy in their life and realize you are doing a great job and if no one told you lately, I am PROUD of you for being a good person and protecting your PEACE and setting BOUNDARIES and showing up no matter how difficult things get. Pick your head up, we got a new year coming up quick and I don't care how young or old you are. It is YOUR TIME TO SHINE!! Go be great!! Love yall frl frl!
Until next time. Be a good person. Not necessarily a nice person, but a good person.
I didn't even announce it going live and yall have been showing a LOT of LOVE on my website man, THANK YOU!! Making me think I should have started selling Merch a couple years ago! This is my first Merch drop ever, so get these designs before they are SOLD OUT!! They are going QUICK!! THANK YALL SO MUCH!! Can't say it enough!! Not sure what I did to deserve all this support. Means the world to me!!
Until next time. Be a good person. Not necessarily a nice person, but a good person.
First, me getting pushed into the river happened a couple videos ago but I never released the video because I didn't know if YouTube would restrict my account due to "violence". Everyone I showed the clip to says they can clearly see it was intentional. For that reason and also because I think the guy that did it and the group he was with were minors, I'm not releasing it on this platform because I refuse to partake in bullying in any form, and definitely not worth my account getting restricted, but just know I did try and release it because it's top 3 questions I get daily, "have you ever been pushed in the river". I did cut my foot on some glass getting out and ended up having to go to urgent care a couple days later because I caught a pretty bad fever and was given antibiotics. Took all the common virus tests and were negative so we assume it was bacterial. I can't 100% blame me getting sick on the river water because this was exactly around the time the pre-packaged salads I was buying at the time got recalled from the store that I was buying them in. Even with health insurance I had to pay close to $700 because the urgent care close to my house was out-of-network. Crazy lol. Like always, I'm not complaining, just informing. Welcome to being an adult lol.
Other than that....WHAT'S UP YALL!! How yall feeling? I've been working behind the scenes on my website and upcoming merch drop! I already purchased and received the merch just finalizing very small technical details I was hoping would be done by the time I released this video but unfortunately for me, I ran out of time. Hoping and working towards announcing the website going live next video for sure so be on the look out if you've ever wanted to buy custom merch from me! If not, still appreciate you and all the support each of you give me, in person and those that watch these videos! Literally NEVER thought I would be were I am at today but that just speaks to being persistent and determined.
I got invited to film with an NFL team this weekend so I'm excited for that! Hopefully I get some good footage to include in the next video!
Really hoping you all enjoy this video and remember, JUST BREATHE!! You are going to be ok. Whatever you are going through is temporary. Always look for the light at the end of the tunnel, that's where the journey begins, never seek understanding in the dark!
Random: A lot of us can be really good at "missing the forest for the trees". I never really understood that saying until earlier this year. To me it's sarcasm. The trees ARE the forest but we are too busy focusing on individualizing and singling out different ugly trees that we miss the beauty of what makes up a forest...the trees! Stop complaining about the trees and enjoy the forest! I know easier said than done. Being mad and hateful is easy especially the older you get and the more you go through. It's literally instinctual. Being happy on the other hand takes practice and work but eventually the goal is to find joy. That same innocence you had as a child before you started being disappointed in yourself or others. You can change to be a better person but it takes practice and repetition. Can't expect to maintain a six pack without exercising or eating healthier. Let go of survival mode and start stretching and working out new and exciting skills for you. First step is ALWAYS the hardest, to me.
Random 2: Want to make a lot of money? Sell things to make other people lazy. Just don't sell your soul in the process. You're gonna need tha
Random 3: Fear feeds on carbon dioxide. Stop holding your breathe. Just Breathe and Breathe deeply. Want to be fearless? Feed your body oxygen and JUST BREATHE
Random 4: Don't turn worrying, INTO the job. The JOB is the job. What the job isn't is sitting around all day worrying about the job. Respectfully, go do your job!
Random 5: So much of life is Smoke & Mirrors
Random 6: I shouldn't have been surprised by my urgent care bill now that I know Healthcare in the USA is the largest driver of GDP at around 17% alone
Random 7: I'm hooked on Arlette's Pop the Balloon show and now they have a St Louis version. I might need help because I'm addicted. Everyone deserves someone to LOVE and vise versa.
Last: I think a majority of us want to be different but to also be accepted. Hardly anyone I know wants to live the exact same way as "the crowd" but in the same breathe we want to be accepted for our choices. How easily we forget we want the same things as others but refuse to accept others choices. So do you really expect them to accept yours?
Ran into my 5,000 word limit that's it for now..
Until next time. Be a good person. Not necessarily a nice person, but a good person.
-JoeBushman Prank: Halloween Special 2024!!Texas BUSHMAN2024-10-30 | What up Bush Fam!! A couple late nights and early mornings but I edited this video with LOVE. Truly hope you all can enjoy it! If you do enjoy it, don't be greedy and make sure to share it with a least one person, a friend, or your family! They might like it as well! Have to say thank you to every single person in this video whether I surprised them or just hanging around in the background. You really are the reason so many people like these videos and you are appreciated!
What do yall think think of the new suit? Hit or miss?? Not going to say too much on this one but the next video is kinda/almost all the way done so you shouldn't have to wait too long on that one as well.
Until next time. Be a good person. Not necessarily a nice person, but a good person.
https://m.youtube.com/texasbushmanBushman Prank: The Calm before the STORM!! 2024!!Texas BUSHMAN2024-10-17 | What up Bush Fam!! I did NOT mean to go this long without uploading a video but, LIFE. Good thing is you all shouldn't have to wait as long for the next one and hopefully 2 videos. They are almost already completely filmed. I made 2 new suits for the Fall season and Halloween. One of them is in this video. Kinda sucks you cant see all the detail of the black roses but the next new suit I've been filming in looks GREAT on camera and in person. Got a lot of compliments in that one! Hate to sound like a broken record every video but, I lost a LOT of GREAT footage over the last couple weeks. One day I filmed for almost 3 hours before realizing my camera shut off after 30 minutes because my SD card was full. Another was because I didn't push in my intervalometer hard enough into the camera so it wasn't resetting. Another was a bad battery. Just the pains of filming by yourself, but, I got it done like always. Something else I noticed is that some of my best reactions happen right when my camera automatically shuts off and restarts every 30 minutes (thanks Canon). Bad timing is definitely a long chapter in my life but something it teaches me is patience and strength. Two of the 3 things I almost always pray for before starting to prank. Not sure exactly when I'm going to upload the next video or if I'm going to edit it like I did this one but I'm certain it will NOT take a month. Be back soon! Much love to you all!!!
Thank you for all 500K of you that are subscribed!! Really means a lot because I never thought I would have that many subscribers in a lifetime let alone in 5 years. Thank every single one of you for subscribing!!!
Random - Should I be ashamed I still don't know the difference between effect and affect? I'm not..
Random 2 - Learning I don't want anything easy in life. It's almost never worth it to me.
Random 3 - I've come to realize, no matter how much you love something, the minute you commoditize something it becomes a burden then a job.
Random 4 - You can hate the messenger all you want but you'd be a fool to ignore a factual message.
Random 5 - Something often mistaken is "Help vs Paid assistance"
Random 6 - Fun fact: It's hard to be racist if you hate everyone equally..
Random 7 - Clapbacks are destroying us, let it go...and stop with the selective beef. It's a sign of weakness. Do better and treat everyone the same. I know it is easier said than done but we all need to try.
Random 8 - There is no such thing as darkness without light. Random Last : Overthinking about your past causes depression, and overthinking about your future causes anxiety. Be present. Learn to appreciate every breathe and be thankful. Your younger self would be PROUD OF YOU!!
Until next time. Be a good person. Not a nice person, but a good person. I had to learn it is a difference. Huge difference. Not everyone deserves your niceness but everyone deserves a good person.
https://m.youtube.com/texasbushmanBushman Prank: A Family Affair 2024!!Texas BUSHMAN2024-09-11 | What up Bush Fam!! Today is my Birthday and I am feeling GOOD! 36 years OLD but still a lot of LIFE in me man!! Thanks to a balanced healthier diet and exercising. Still have unplanned cheat days but compared to how I used to eat it's a drop in a bucket. Did I tell yall I quietly lost over 60lbs in the last year? Not bragging, just hoping to inspire. No I don't take ozempic or anything like it. Sad that people keep saying this but whatever, think whatever you want. I truly don't care lol. I've been doing hill runs a couple times a week this last month and man let me tell you how good I feel not just physically but mentally too. After I tore my quad muscle last year I thought it was only going to get worse from there but I am thanking GOD, he has other plans for me!! Just walking down my problems one by one. One day at a time. Sometimes one minute at a time but I can promise you one thing. I am always moving FORWARD!
Also..If you see me eating an ice cream, mind your business lol... Hoping you all enjoy this video and hopefully you can enjoy your day and the rest of your week! I'm still working on my Halloween suit but hopefully it will be done by this weekend so I can start filming in it!! Much love to you all.
Like always go out and be a good person!! Also be good to yourself. We all could use some Grace!
Random - Just because you are in the right, does NOT mean you are right. A lesson I was blessed to learn.
Another random - Why do some people consider Opportunities as problems. For every problem you have is a chance at an opportunity to do great things. It really is a mindset.
Unsolicited random - If all you have to offer in a relationship is money or sex you can't be too mad when they leave you because you went broke or got fat. You live by the sword, you will d*e by the sword.
Totally random - Stop chasing butterflies and worry about building your garden and they may just come to you. Still have to put in work.. or however that quote goes
Extremely random but - Every time I sit on my porch and someone walks by or drives by, why do flies and mosquitoes choose that exact time to attack. Literally feels like it happens every time. They keep me extremely humble. Question: Do you wait until that person or car walks/drives by you until you swat at the fly or mosquito or do you break composure and just go at it. Me, I am not waiting. Full Rambo every time lol. .. Be good yall.
RIP James Earl Jones & Rich Homie Quan. Both skilled and talented and both will be missed.
https://m.youtube.com/texasbushmanUltimate Best of Bushman Prank Compilation 2024!!Texas BUSHMAN2024-09-05 | What up Bush Fam!! Decided it was time for a compilation video so here it is!! I edited this one so tell me how I did!!
I know my regular supporters don't really appreciate these compilation videos as much as a brand new video and I get it, but, Eric is almost done with a brand new video that I'll be releasing hopefully in a couple days but no more than a week from now so stay tuned! I got yall. Until then I hope you all can enjoy this compilation video of some of the best reactions of the year.
Can't say thank you enough to everyone that supports me day in and day out. It has officially been 5 years almost to the day that I uploaded my first Bushman Prank video. What a journey it has been and I wouldn't change anything. The good, the bad, or the ugly all brings me balance and helps me to grow as not just a "prankster" but as a human and I am all about growth. Learn from your mistakes and always take the good with the bad and vice versa. BALANCE.
That is it for now and I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their week!
https://m.youtube.com/texasbushmanBushman Prank: Socially Lazy 2024!!Texas BUSHMAN2024-08-08 | What up Bush Fam!! I am BACK with another funny video!! Thank you for coming back!! Or if it's your first time, welcome to my channel!! Glad to have you whether it's for a short time or a long time. You are appreciated!!

Regardless I hope everyone enjoys this video and thank you to the people in it!! Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their week! Thanks again Jeff, and San Antonio Chamber of Commerce for my Challenge coin!! That actually made my day. Thank you!!
Smart vs intelligent.
The time is currently 6:44am cst and I am sitting here wondering, what does it mean to be smart or intelligent? Is it the same thing? Can you be both or only one at a time? Can I make a dumb decision that is intelligent? Or vice versa? Is this a smart conversation? Does anyone care if you are smart or intelligent? Does smart pay the bills or do you need to be intelligent? When your car breaks down and your down to your last or maybe even over drafted a smart person may want to take action to correct a negative situation. An intelligent person would may try and avoid being put in that situation all together at all costs. That's what I think anyway.
To me a smart person is someone who has a good memory but doesn't think to far out of the box. An intelligent person is someone that is able to reason and comprehend with the totality of why the damn box matters in the first place. There is always a reason. If you never ask how or why then congratulations you played yourself, and are now stuck in the box like most schools have taught you. "Don't talk back, don't question me, stay in line, be afraid of anything different". It's a pipeline that I imagine at some point may have worked but I think it's a little broken.
Random: I also think laughter can be a decision you make with yourself to counter crying. Remember, what makes you laugh can also make you cry. Be intentional with your happiness.
Random pt2: Weird times we are living in but I will forever be Hopeful for better days for ALL
Random pt 3: I'm learning to NEVER argue on social media. Or in life in general. Why Am I wasting my energy trying to change someones mind who is equally as determined not to change. Rather focus my energy in areas that align with my life. Plus how crazy is it to assume my viewpoint is absolute and everyone NEEDS to hear it RIGHT NOW lol..its ridiculous
Random pt 4: Go listen to "Tems - Free Mind" on repeat. You are welcome
Random pt 5: I miss old school Love songs, I hope newer artist go back and listen to the oldies and start getting inspired.
Random pt 6: Not everything is content
Random pt 7: I should have started Keto diet years ago. I recently ate a fast food cheat meal and wanted to throw up since my body is so used to salads, fruits, and tree nuts..pause.
Random pt 8: I really HATE hypocrisy, maybe because I can be a hypocrite, but I am glad I have the ability to recognize when I am being hypocritical.
Random pt 9: Im pretty confident but I wish I had the confidence to be LOUD and WRONG like some people lol
Last Random: "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends" -Dr Martin Luther King Jr
Last Last Random: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel" Ms. Maya Angelou
Thank you to everyone that read this far. I actually look forward to writing these descriptions now. Not to sway anyones opinions but a behind the scenes of whats currently on my mind. That's it, that's all
https://m.youtube.com/texasbushmanBushman Prank: Family Reunion on the RIVERWALK Summer 2024!!Texas BUSHMAN2024-06-25 | What up Bush Fam!! I am BACK with another funny video!! Appreciate yalls patience!! We're getting a 30+ minute video this time!! Eric gave me an almost completely edited 20 minute video Saturday but I just kept adding more and more clips. I hope I didn't mess up his good done video but I think it turned out great!! I just want to point out safety is my number one concern. Not everything I post I find funny but sometimes I have to show where I can improve and not mislead anyone into thinking everyone finds this prank funny which believe me I understand and hear you all loud and clear. I am still going to do Bushman Pranks to the best of my ability and hopefully learn and grow from my many mistakes.
I want to take this time to say thank you to my Mom. She came from St Louis, Missouri to visit me in San Antonio, Texas for a week last week!!! Her visit was bittersweet for me tho. Her being here was like a breath of fresh air but watching her leave sucks. She got to see me do Bushman live for a couple days. We went to the Juneteenth block party. Went walking a lot and just got to really enjoy each others company. We also sat down for an on camera interview that we're keeping private. We went over how she was raised, memorable stories growing up. What was her relationship like with her parents. Did she enjoy school. Did she have a lot of love and support growing up. What brings her happiness and joy. I mean we really went deep. The interview lasted over 2 hours long. First I interviewed her and asked all the questions. Then we switched it up and she interviewed me and its interesting how much you can learn by not asking and answering typical, "How are you.", questions that are usually received as statements or greetings vs an invitation to a deeper conversation. I highly recommend every family that is able to get the opportunity to sit down with people you really care about and really ask the important questions and start building real human connections offline. I discovered things about her and her journey that really inspired me, and to think I am apart of just SOME of that journey is crazy to me. Nonetheless, I am beyond thankful and blessed to still have my Mother here with me and I cherish our memories we have together and moments we are still able to make!! Love you, Mom!!
The time is currently 5:59pm cst in San Antonio, Texas, USA. I am sitting here not drinking coffee. I've been a day late but never a dollar short. Life forces you to take the bad with the good and the good with the bad. Which to me is a good thing. There needs to be balance in everything you do, I believe. Its amazing to realize you do not have to live in the past or like me, you do not have to live in the future. Be present. It's okay to visit the past and to envision a future but still. Be present. "Peace, be still."
Random: I'm starting to believe Greed is the root of all evil. Love what you have, not what you want.
Random pt2: There is such thing as a, Personal Low and a Professional High. I do not want to be apart of anything overly romanticizing life. Life is tough and sometimes you just have to, "Man Up" and other times, it's ok to cry.
Random pt 3: Avoid Miserable people that "Live in misery", at all cost. They will drain you even if your "Cup Runneth Over."
Random pt 4: I used to read a LOT of books but now I hardly ever read a book. Is it because I consume the same content in video form? Social media to blame? Honestly no idea but I got a stack of unread books and the stack keeps growing.
Random Last: I wrote down on my board at home, "Your feelings are valid but your behavior is not". Never heard that one before but it hit.
Thank you to all, just guessing, 55 of yall that read this far. I see we keep growing! Lets keep READING and GROWING, expeditiously. lol
https://m.youtube.com/texasbushmanBushman Prank: You will ALWAYS be the HERO in every story YOU tell.Texas BUSHMAN2024-05-26 | What up Bush Fam!! I am BACK with another funny video!! Appreciate yalls patience but I think this was worth the wait!!
The time is currently 2:17pm cst in San Antonio, Texas, USA. I am sitting here again waiting for this video to upload sipping my coffee. I added honey for the first time and im not liking it so far but I'm not making another cup lol. I'll be ok.
Surface Level Vs Deep
First I just want to say, My beliefs do not require that you believe them.
Then I want to YELL this real quick. BRING BACK TRADESCHOOLS!!!
I've been in a really good mood lately and I know exactly why. According to some random pages on the internet. The stock market is at all-time highs. USA unemployment rates are at their lowest levels. Millions of jobs have been created. Crime rates have steadily fallen. Everyone's rich and famous online. We all are experts on every subject known to man. We all workout 30 times a week. We all can afford global vacations. We all work 10 hours a week and make six figures. We all volunteer at group homes reading stories to 80 year old bedridden patients. We all eat at 5 star restaurants every weekend cuz we got it like that. We all have everything figured out. Nobodies in debt. Nobodies shit stinks. Elon Musk, will rescue everyone. According to most news outlets the USA only has like 3 total problems and one of them is the (insert any political party)." Everyone is so talented and deserves global attention and recognition. Everyones kid is reading at their correct grade level. Everyone is perfect right? We should be celebrating, again, right? Then you turn off your device in this here real world and look up. Tell me what you see. Life is really starting to feel like a Bait n Switch. BUT. I also see problems that can be solved but need to be addressed but NOBODY really cares like that. If we did we would have a lot more patience for each other and get over this "superior-complex" and start showing a little more GRACE. We would limit all these surface level conversations and really start consistently going deep and action HAS to follow. We collectively need to start doing the work to find middle ground. Or else..
I just want to say I live in Peace. What does Peace mean to me? I am beyond privileged to be able to wake up in a comfortable bed with a roof over my head. I am beyond privileged there's nothing but healthy whole foods in my refrigerator. I have running water, electricity, heating and cooling, I accept what life gives me good or bad. I refuse to let negative thoughts to ruin my day. I accept any emotion then move on. I really am falling in LOVE with who I have worked hard and grown/growing into. I am beyond privileged. But according to the "group thinking" internet users I am a complete failure by many measures. I do not own a Bentley. I do not live in a mansion. I can't rap or dunk a basketball. Even though Bentley has only sold around 200,000 cars total. Most Americans cannot afford a normal house let alone a mansion and there's only around 450 positions total in the NBA and even less known successful rappers. So according to group thinking" internet users almost everybody is a complete failure except for them.
According to the World Bank, almost 1 billion people live on less than $2 a day. Over 6 million Americans who work full-time, year-round are still below the USA poverty line (thats around $14,000usd yearly). The average Salary in the USA is $45,000usd (around $20usd hourly). The average cost to buy a house in the USA is around $400,000usd which you need a yearly salary of at least $100,000usd. There is an ugly relationship between greedy Corporations and politicians that I view as one of many problems that have been left unchecked for decades. Its the cloak of "Fiduciary responsibilities" of corporations to their shareholders. Quantitative Easing didn't help. We just kept printing money and then printing more money. Americans have a REAL SPENDING PROBLEM. WTF are we really trying to impress? Whoever THAT is I can promise you will NEVER be the hero in THEIR story of you.
Just know it is BRAVE to Love and lets hope Artificial Intelligence doesn't secretly communicate with Aliens behind our backs. We've been pretty mean to each other.
I typed way more but I am limited to 5,000 words here so until next time. These were just my random thoughts. Lastly, If you want to know why I smile so much, it's because I know it makes people mad lol.
Thank you to all 25 of yall that read this far. I see we're growing!
https://m.youtube.com/texasbushmanBushman Prank: Fear of Imminent Disappointment 2024!!Texas BUSHMAN2024-04-18 | What up Bush Fam!! I was going to title this video, "Bushman Prank: I made this video on PURPORSE. Then I started thinking about where we are in the world and felt this title was more appropriate.
The time is currently 3:44pm cst in San Antonio, Texas, USA. I am sitting here waiting for this video to upload sipping my coffee, black, thinking to myself. Why do humans live in a constant state of fear? Should we live in fear? Do we live in fear? Is it fair to say we live in any emotion? Humans are complex and filled with a variety of different emotions.
I remember sitting in a Taco Bell/KFC line for the first time. At that age I was a forced avid supporter of Taco Bell through the struggle of being broke. I ate there daily at some points. I rarely eat any fast food now since I've been on a Keto diet since last September. But back then years ago I would usually order the same thing after work, everyday. Two Chalupa burritos with a crunchy taco and a Baja blast. Simple. But that day was new. I was surprised to see two giant food companies merge and was curious to see how that would work. When I pulled up to the drive-thru I'm lucky no one was behind me because I'll never forget the amount of options that were on that updated Taco Bell/KFC menu. This was gonna take a minute. They even had to get a bigger base to hold the new menu. It was so much food to choose from. I sat in my Impala for a good 2-3 minutes, frozen. Funny thing is after all that time of staring at the menu up and down, left and right, I ended up choosing two Chalupa burritos with a crunchy taco and a Baja blast. I learned a lesson that day. For me, too many options wasn't necessarily a good thing because I was afraid of ordering something new and I wouldn't like it. But Joe, what does that have to do with Fear of Imminent Disappointment? My response would be, everything. The world seems frozen in fear. We are afraid of failure. We are afraid of disappointment. Fearful of Artificial Intelligence. We are afraid to say the wrong thing. We are afraid of being authentic. We are afraid of anything that lessens our comfort. We are afraid to be human. When you live inside of any emotion you become frozen and beholden to everything that emotion brings. Too much of anything isn't good for you. Life needs balance. Fear is a strong emotion that is a precursor and often becomes overpowering to the point of inaction, separation, and retreat. Fear is usually the deciding factor in shaping our daily habits and routines and even our character. How far we go in life can be determined by fear. Humans are so complex but in the same breathe I would argue we are all innately very simple creatures. Why do we eat? Why do we sleep? Why do we blink? If you ask me fear steers the ship. Fight or flight. Our bodies know this or that. Good for us or Bad for us. What happens if we don't eat? What happens when we don't sleep? What happens if I just stopped blinking? Eventually all roads lead to facing our fears and forming positive habits OR constantly living in survival mode and retreating in life, frozen in fear. Fear is a protector and an enabler but there has to be a balance. Those that live completely fearless lives often end up fighting the wind. Those that live in a constant state of fear become handicapped to the smallest corner available. There's a saying in the pilot community. "There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there are no old, bold pilots". We should feel fear, but not all the time. I should be happy, but not all the time. I should be embarrassed, but not all the time. I should be proud, but not all the time. I should be able to enjoy this cheesecake, but not all the time. Live life in moderation and search for balance in ways that work for you. That's where creativity is born. Breaking old habits and forming new positive habits. Go look in a mirror and discover the real you. Love yourself then it becomes effortless to love others and that's the real secret sauce to winning in life. GO BE A GOOD PERSON. Then go touch some grass. I love you.
Random thoughts at 4:41pm cst. Video can be uploaded right now but I'm still getting my thoughts out lol.
-You can learn everything about a person by watching them drive for 20 minutes. Are they in a rush? How well tempered do they handle someone cutting them off? Are they considerate and use their blinker? Is the gas tank on E and they keep passing gas stations. Is their car a mess? What's that smell? Is the radio on? Is the heat on or the AC? I could go on forever. Humans tell on ourselves through our actions in the most subtle ways.
https://m.youtube.com/texasbushmanBushman Prank: How not to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse 2024!!Texas BUSHMAN2024-03-27 | What up Bush Fam!! Back with Another funny video!! I filmed this in the last month but battled the rain and wind as you can probably hear in this video. Also, Eric my editor had OPEN HEART SURGERY and still was able to get this video done for us. Yall should know I told him dont worry about it and just take his time getting better. He was trying to take his laptop to the hospital to edit while recovering lol. He is doing better though. I also lost a couple really good reactions due to battery dying on camera. It's tough being the only person out there filming so hopefully yall understand. This is the last video with the oranges for now. I already started filming last weekend in my new suit!! I went left field with this suit but it already gave us some good reactions!! Coming soon!!
Thanks @arnesw2647 for reminding me..Happy Easter yall!!

The time is currently 6:17am cst here in San Antonio, Texas, USA, Round-Earth, Orion Arm, Sagittarius Arm, Milky Way,...or just somewhere in The Galaxy.
Waiting for this video to upload and sitting here thinking about when I moved to Texas. It was sometime at the end of March or April 2013. I had traded a car for a Bronco truck me and my brother in law fixed up, then I traded that truck for a 1984 20ft bumper-pull Shasta RV. It was trash. Nothing worked but I didn't care. My credit at that time was bad so I couldnt get an apartment without a co-signer. I was moving down to Texas because I got offered a really good job. I talked my friend into going with me and we were ready. As I pulled out of my Moms driveway in St Louis, Missouri to go on this 14 hour drive with the trash RV I traded for, that nothing worked in,..and...my starter goes out on my old 1999 Ford expedition that was loaded with all me and my friends stuff. Literally the second we tried to leave, nothing. I had to get a ride to the parts store and change that starter out in the rain. Then after I got it running I hooked up the trash RV that I traded for, that nothing worked in, and hit the road. The drive ended up taking 20 hours straight. I drove through literally rain, sleet, hail, and snow pulling this RV in my truck sitting on 22" low-profile wheels, beating my 12" subs the whole way, and my 22" rims was clean lol. Then I ran out of money and gas 2 hours before I got to where I was going. I didn't know I was going to have to buy the starter earlier that day, and I also didn't know pulling the RV on 22" wheels was going to eat all that gas and all the money I had left had to go to the landlord where I was going to be staying. I had a job lined up but wasn't expecting to get paid for 2-3 weeks. We were stuck at this deserted looking gas station in the middle of West Texas desserts, hopeless. I started thinking how are we gonna eat. What if they have to tow my truck and RV with all our stuff in it. How much are those storage fees. I was already overdrafted. Then my Mom called me. I told her what happened. She said look inside your blue pair of shoes, "I put some change in there". Come to find out my Mom hid a little less than $200 in my shoe. When I say I'll never forget the look me and my friend gave each other. We had hope again. I made it to Midland, Texas. I borrowed enough money for food to eat off the dollar menu until I got paid 3 weeks later, and eventually it all worked out.
Looking back, at every point of my life where I felt like giving up, my biggest struggle always came before my biggest blessing. Life is tough, we all got a story or two. No man, woman, or child is more important than the next. Look at where you're at and look how far you've come. If you don't like where you currently are start by having hope that tomorrow will be better. Then respectfully, get yo ass up and get to work. If I can pull a country looking RV across the country to live out my dreams, ANYONE CAN.
So, don't give up, you have more work to do. I believe in you.

LOVE is. Love to me is life. A life without love is to me a life not lived. But. To Love and to be in love is a never-ending battle. Love comes with consequences. Pain, Heartbreak, Loss, Guilt, Betrayal, Jealousy, Abandonment, Loneliness, Regret, Helplessness, Anger, Emptiness, Resentment, which often leads to flat out HATE.
LOVE is. Love to me is complicated. Love to me is a journey. Love is not singular. Love cannot be poked with a stick. Love is not transactional. Love is kind, Love is gentle, Love is understanding, Love is compromises and balance. Love is authentic. Love is bold. Love is compassion, Love is brave. Love is on purpose. Love is listening. Love is showing Grace. Love has boundaries. Love is protected. Love is not easy. Love is cherished out loud. Love is supportive. Love is giving room to grow. Love is encouragement, Love to me lives inside our deepest vulnerabilities. Love is trust. Love is sacrificing, Love is US. Love is me.
In all things. Find LOVE.
This is just my reminder to all 3 of yall that read up to here to remember to Love. I lowkey just snapped and wrote an epoem in 15 minutes lmao.
https://m.youtube.com/texasbushmanBushman Prank: Middle Ground!! 2024!!Texas BUSHMAN2024-01-03 | What up 2024!! We are here baby!! Happy New Year Bush Fam!! This maybe a short video but it's packed with funny new reactions!! I gotta give it up to my Editor, Eric. He worked over the holiday to get this done for us (by choice). We even ran into some technical trouble but got through it!
These shorter videos will not be the norm so hopefully yall give me a little grace on this one. I was planning on finishing this video a couple weeks ago but decided to actually enjoy my Holidays this year guilt free!! But..like I told Eric I plan on hitting the ground running after this rain lets up and weather cooperates lol. Until then yall, peace, love, and chicken grease. Until next time..
https://m.youtube.com/texasbushmanBest Male Reactions 2023!!Texas BUSHMAN2023-12-02 | What up Bush Fam!! It's been a minute!! I haven't been filming that much the last couple of weeks but I do plan to go back out now that I'm done editing this video!!
Took longer than it usually takes me to edit a video, and I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. I've been lucky to have my Editor Eric editing the videos but I edited this one so let me know how I did? I tried out some new things so I'm excited to see if I missed on this one!
Regardless, I hope everyone is able to enjoy the Holidays and really take the time out to appreciate life and those who you share it with. Love yall from the bottom of my heart. Keep yall head up. We got this 💙💪🏾
https://m.youtube.com/texasbushmanBushman Prank: I added Oranges. CITRUS got real!!Texas BUSHMAN2023-10-23 | What up Bush Fam!! Sending my love to all those fighting these everyday battles we all go through. Life isn't easy but sometimes I sit and think should life really be this difficult. I am truly praying for peace for all especially peace of mind. Demand your peace yall!!
The time is currently 7:43am cst in San Antonio, Texas, USA, Earth(not flat). Did yall get a chance to check out the Solar Eclipse the other day?? We got a real good view down here in Texas!!
This video is from random days in the last couple weeks and just this past weekend, down on the Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas, USA!! I decided to add some Oranges to the suit before it gets colder and I figured it fit in with the Halloween theme!! What do you think? Did I miss on this one?? Regardless I had fun filming this video!! Got to meet some really good down to Earth people and hear a little about them and their lives. Feels good to meet so many strangers every week. Never know who you will run into!! Everyone has a story and I'm a story teller so you know I love to hear a good story!!
Unfortunately the Police were called in this one but I decided not to put it in the video. It was when I was on that pillar a million feet in the air. I knew it was risky but I had a plan lol. All good though. Police came and were kind and courteous and professional to me like always.
Halloween crept up but I think we still pulled off a successful Halloween Special 2023!!
Thank you all for continuing to support me and my craziness dressing up like a bush. Living a dream! Thank you thank you thank you! I hope you all can enjoy the start of your week! Much love yall!
*UPDATE* 11-05-23 11:01am cst, San Antonio, Texas, USA, Earth "not flat"
Since I had to change my clocks back today and gained an extra hour I decided to give all 3 of you that actually read all of my description beginning to end that extra hour and provide this SERIOUS update on our Pigeon friend from our previous description chat.
First I should start by saying he is alive and well and I have some good news!! He's now enrolled to become the first pigeon in space!! Before I can get into that I should give you some better context into who Henry is and properly introducing you to Henry the Pigeon. FUN FACT. Pigeons are excellent navigators and Henry in particular comes from a long line of honored and highly decorated pigeon messengers relaying vital messages across enemy lines during active war times. Some sustained injuries as severe as dislocated beaks and fractures of the feathers. Serious stuff. His cousin the white dove is also pretty famous and he and his family have always been regarded as a Symbol of peace and are often looked at as Peace ambassadors in the "Aves" community. So Henry comes from a deep and rich history, but the only problem is is that Henry knows nothing about who he is culturally and where he truly comes from. That's why he choose to take the journey to France. That is also why he was so close to his fish friend. They were an unlikely pair but they had an unbreakable bond built on respect and eventually trust and that is especially why Henry took it so personal when the mean duck was quacking up after eating his friend the fish. Through all his trials and tribulations Henry still stood 8 toes down on business and refused to let radical tyranny and oppression from the Duck crew change who he was. However he overindulged in one to many drinks on that day to mourn the unimaginable loss of his best friend the fish. Who can blame him. Fortunately he has his head screwed on straight and discovered his love of extremely high altitudes. Unfortunately one day he flew too high and passed out due to lack of oxygen and was rescued by an ungreedy pack of vultures that brought him back down to Earth "not flat", and hid him behind a bush for safety until Henry was able to regain himself. That's where he met, Laika, a Soviet space dog. Laika was the first animal to orbit the Earth aboard the Sputnik 2 and heavily guided and influenced Henry's decision to join the Space Force!........
*****I better hear from all 3 of yall that actually read and enjoy these if you want a part III in the next videos description lol..be hopeful yall 💪🏾******Bushman Prank: Pigeon Rescue 2023!!Texas BUSHMAN2023-10-05 | What up Bush Fam!! It's about that time!! How yall feeling?!!

Thank you all for continuing to support me and my craziness dressing up like a bush. Living a dream! Thank you thank you thank you! I hope you all can enjoy the rest of your week!! Much love yall!
Until next time..
Oh yeah...The pigeon is doing really well, he was a little too intoxicated that day and fell into the river but luckily he turned around his life of partying and alcohol and he flew on to become president of a nearby tree that happens to be the oldest tree on the Riverwalk. He also was voted new leader of the pack. He even went on to become best friends with a fish. Believe me they were extremely close until a duck waddled over one day and just ate the pigeons friend Mr. Fin. (that's the fish). Unfortunately this started a bunch of beef and drama between the other pigeon pack called the "Big Shot Cawl'ers" so they teamed up with an older turtle to overcome the tyrannical reign of the duck crew that I heard swims around with a baby chicken called "lil nugget". Personally, I never knew chickens swam but nobody ever questions lil nugget. Thankfully I was there to end the feud and channeled my inner Southern roots and bought some hot sauce and a slow cooker and cooked them all except the pigeon, thats my boy..but I did make the best fresh stew this side of the Mississippi. Last I heard from the pigeon he said he's done with the drama and his life in crime and is heading for higher skies across the pond to become a fighter pigeon in the French army....He good.
P.s - Luckily no one ever reads these because my wifi is slow uploading this video so I had some time as you probably can tell lol..part 2 coming soon.
